Speaker 1: they dance surround it for a long time, but now
Speaker 1: it is official. You can't say that we didn't warn
Speaker 1: you because we have covered this story exhaustively. But now
Speaker 1: they they officially like removed her from her leadership position.
Speaker 1: That's the other thing is it's not like she's no
Speaker 1: longer in Congress. She's just no longer in this one
Speaker 1: specific leaders not much decision making power, right, she's kind
Speaker 1: of too closs. Yeah, it's yeah, it's like this, Okay,

Speaker 1: to not the disease the best. Got it. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about a second piece of GOP cancel culture, their attempt
Speaker 1: to cancel the sixteen nineteen project from history curriculums around
Speaker 1: the country. I'm especially excited to hear prop talk about that.
Speaker 1: Can't wait. A Pulitzer Prize reporter is coming out with
Speaker 1: a story about how the Secret Service was fucking Donald
Speaker 1: Trump Jr's wife was probably hooking up with Tiffany Trump.
Speaker 1: And also we got some insight into how Trump managed
Speaker 1: his team. It's kind of kind of interesting. Yeah, very top. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I read that, and I was like, this is absolutely true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, of course, of course he's smashing that fool's wife,
Speaker 1: right of course. Yeah, yeah, of course. Before we get
Speaker 1: to any of that prop, we like to ask our guests,
Speaker 1: what is something for your search history that's revealing about
Speaker 1: who you are? Man? Yeah, I couldn't wait for this
Speaker 1: because I forgot this segment was in the show, and
Speaker 1: then I looked at my last search and I was like,
Speaker 1: this is perfect. The Swedish word for half Saturday, Swedish
Speaker 1: word for half Saturday. They it's like, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: say it right, but it's like lill or drag lillard
Speaker 1: drag lillard dag or something like that. I can't speak Swedish,
Speaker 1: but what is the half Saturday? So they had this
Speaker 1: idea during the Cortea to start celebrating Saturday all Wednesday.
Speaker 1: So they treat Wednesday afternoon like Saturday and they call
Speaker 1: it half Saturday. And I was like, this is brilliant,
Speaker 1: the sweetest o. What is this celebration exactly? Like just
Speaker 1: kind of weekend. Yeah, you have a weekend vibe on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: you just kick kick off work, you know, go to
Speaker 1: a happy hour. They're just like whatever, like you still
Speaker 1: after work on Thursday? Yeah, because it's half Saturday. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: So it was just like, let's just start to let's
Speaker 1: just have a weekend in the middle of the week.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, low key, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: These people invented hell vettiga. I'm like, y'all, like y'all
Speaker 1: smartest hell you know what I'm saying it. I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's brilliant. So I just I was like, what's the
Speaker 1: I had heard it somewhere that like because my wife
Speaker 1: started calling something. She was like, it would be. We
Speaker 1: used to do like little like movie nights on Fridays
Speaker 1: with our kids, so we would like we were just
Speaker 1: show them either movies they pick or stuff from our childhood.
Speaker 1: Like so you know, I put my kids through like
Speaker 1: the whole Star Wars situation, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And but during during his damn quarantine, I come in
Speaker 1: the house after like you know, coming from from our
Speaker 1: little back office, and they already starting a movie and
Speaker 1: I'm like, nigging, it's Wednesday, Like we're starting there. It's
Speaker 1: like it's a word for that. The Scandinavians always have
Speaker 1: like good work, you know, like like with Danish concept
Speaker 1: of hoogie or hugie, you know, their coziness, Like they
Speaker 1: have ideas like no, man, you gotta get cozy, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, what, there's like a whole culture around that,
Speaker 1: or even like being like let's bring a weekend vibe
Speaker 1: to Wednesday? Why not? Almost It's weird because I that
Speaker 1: really challenged my thinking for a moment to be like
Speaker 1: do I have the imagination to create that in my mind?
Speaker 1: Like exactly, it's like normally like oh, ship, the toil
Speaker 1: is over turn up time. But now it's kind of
Speaker 1: like something else. Yeah, like who why I need to
Speaker 1: get the whole You need to get the whole country
Speaker 1: on board though, right, you need to get or at
Speaker 1: least whatever company you work for, because otherwise they're they're gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, still be acknowledging that there's a meeting tomorrow
Speaker 1: at eight or whatever. Like part of part of the
Speaker 1: my psychology around Saturdays is that Sundays coming up, so
Speaker 1: like I don't even have to fucking worry about like
Speaker 1: whatever has happened in the next day, which is not
Speaker 1: like I shouldn't have to. I don't have to worry
Speaker 1: either way. It's just that's how my brain is broken.
Speaker 1: Is like that's how what anxiety does, right yea, um,
Speaker 1: but I think I think, yeah, anything anywhere you can
Speaker 1: cut out a half day out of the work week,
Speaker 1: Like we're it. We're a generation away from people looking
Speaker 1: at the five hour work week, where like forty hours
Speaker 1: is a minimum type ship as the way that we
Speaker 1: look at like time before people at weekends, like it's
Speaker 1: like why VCRs, It's like why do I need that ship?
Speaker 1: Why are you doing this? You don't have to? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like you said, I can challenge my imagination, because
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, who says you can't. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: only just been societally dictated that the turn. There's these
Speaker 1: three specific days or four you know, it all depends
Speaker 1: all relative to your job. That's what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 1: It's like, well, you know yourself, that little bit of
Speaker 1: respite in the middle of the week. Why not? Why not? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what what age did you do Star Wars pro as
Speaker 1: a child? No? No, with your kids. So I got
Speaker 1: a teenager, so she was fourteen, okay, yeah, and then
Speaker 1: my little one is full but but Star Wars yet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I started with her. I started with her, you know,
Speaker 1: saying when it was when up Mandalorian started because I
Speaker 1: was like, you're gonna fall in love with Yoda, Like
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna do it. So I put her
Speaker 1: on and then and then my other daughter came in.
Speaker 1: I married a single mom, so when I started, so
Speaker 1: my oldest one she was three when we got married.
Speaker 1: So when she came in the building, I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, you know, I'm still trying to like, hey, Champ,
Speaker 1: I mean it's been like ten years, but I'm like,
Speaker 1: do you like me yet you know. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know, so I was like, let me try to
Speaker 1: give you something that's kind of dope, you know, And
Speaker 1: of course she was like, so I started with rogue
Speaker 1: one because I was like, okay, woman, lead, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like, get into the story. And then
Speaker 1: after that, you know, gave her the primer that like, Okay,
Speaker 1: so these first three are actually episodes four or five
Speaker 1: and six, but get there. Okay, they were made in
Speaker 1: the seventies, you know what I'm saying, So like, suspend
Speaker 1: your reality for a second. And then now she makes
Speaker 1: like she got a Kyler Ren poster in a room.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Do you feel me? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So so yeah, so she and she's been in for
Speaker 1: a while. So I feel like, okay, my work she got,
Speaker 1: like my work here is done. I've done one thing correct. Yeah.
Speaker 1: What's something you think is overridge? There's a lot of
Speaker 1: things I think overrated? Uh, I live quality, but camping Okay,
Speaker 1: I think camping is overrated. Are you a camper at all?
Speaker 1: Or you just my wife? Is I just? I mean,
Speaker 1: principally speaking, I'm like, why would I leave a perfectly
Speaker 1: good inside to construct a subpar outside, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, and like and to the degree for which
Speaker 1: you enjoy camping is the level for which my subpar
Speaker 1: inside I constructed becomes like the inside I just left.
Speaker 1: So I'm you know what I'm saying. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm okay, I'm this is a really subcomfortable sleeping bag.
Speaker 1: It's just like a bed. Well then what then why
Speaker 1: don't I just stay in the bed, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I'm like, you know, oh man, this
Speaker 1: this this tent is so warm, it's like walls. Okay,
Speaker 1: why would I leave walls to go to like walls?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I gotta fire pit outside
Speaker 1: in my backyard. I could cook over an open fire,
Speaker 1: That's fine, and then go sleep in a temperature controlled place.
Speaker 1: I just there's bears, like mosquitoes. I gotta spray myself
Speaker 1: down with chemicals so I don't get bit or I
Speaker 1: could just stay inside. I don't understand why everybody is
Speaker 1: so in love. We figured The Neanderthals figured out that
Speaker 1: it is better to be inside, right, So I'm just
Speaker 1: like you ship is overrated, Like you're spending so much
Speaker 1: money to make what you already got right doesn't have
Speaker 1: anything to do with being growing up in the city.
Speaker 1: I think it has a lot to do with that
Speaker 1: because I'm I feel the same, Like I like going.
Speaker 1: It's like fun for like the first time, Like I'm
Speaker 1: still kaying that was cool, but I'm like, but for real, like, no,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of it. I need days. Yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: go out for like a day exactly. I'm like, the
Speaker 1: outside is beautiful, don't get me wrong, Like you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Nature is amazing, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, i gotta sleep out here, Like that's ridiculous,
Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, like we go to like are
Speaker 1: those staycations. I go to Joshua Tree, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. We're gonna have a great time out there,
Speaker 1: and then go to a nice Arabian be there you
Speaker 1: go inside, yeah inside. Yeah, I think it's the It's
Speaker 1: it's just growing up in the city too. Like I
Speaker 1: loved whenever I could go, like anytime there was a
Speaker 1: field trip to nature, I was like, Oh, this is
Speaker 1: fucking dope, Like it's so different than just the fucking
Speaker 1: valley and ship. But then after a while, Like I think,
Speaker 1: as you kind of get set into your ways, I
Speaker 1: got a little bit harder for me. But you know
Speaker 1: all that to say, I'd imagine maybe I could endure it,
Speaker 1: like if I go to one of those places like
Speaker 1: you know, fucking uh the beginning of big Little Lies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you know, like that kind of ship like Carmel. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now you say it. I think there might be some
Speaker 1: like some like psychological trauma from childhood, from feeling like
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like my dad, My father
Speaker 1: was a black panther, but he was like city boy
Speaker 1: ladies man, like I don't not change the oil. I
Speaker 1: don't know how to like I won't work on cars,
Speaker 1: like I don't know how to do no of this ship.
Speaker 1: So like I feel like since my father wasn't like
Speaker 1: these other dads who had tents and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: like you you Loki, feel like you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like you you you less of a boy than the
Speaker 1: rest of the other boys came from, Yeah, exactly, tentless home.
Speaker 1: I was like, we got money for that, like we
Speaker 1: just want to buy a tent. Wasn't for the sitting
Speaker 1: the garage, Like hey, we're gonna do with this? So
Speaker 1: so yeah, so I feel like I remember, yo. I
Speaker 1: remember the first time I went fishing. There was his
Speaker 1: family down the street, you know, just manly men, had
Speaker 1: their boat, had their RV, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And they went So they went out to uh Man.
Speaker 1: Where was that, I want to say, it was like
Speaker 1: Angele's Crest, so like in the up in like locker center.
Speaker 1: They went up there to like to go fishing. So
Speaker 1: I got to go with him and three boys and
Speaker 1: I mean like boy scouts, right, So we went and
Speaker 1: I remember they were fighting over who gets to throw
Speaker 1: the throw the anchor down. So they were like no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: Jason's our guess. We're gonna let him do it. So
Speaker 1: I threw the anchor down and as it's going down,
Speaker 1: I realized I ain't tie it to the boat, so
Speaker 1: come yeah, yeah, like I'm planning, you know. So I
Speaker 1: don't say nothing, but they are they My my back
Speaker 1: is to them, so they can't see that's happening. And
Speaker 1: then as the boats drifting, they're like what happened? And
Speaker 1: I remember now as a father, like how well these
Speaker 1: boys dads handled this like they he was just like, Jason,
Speaker 1: did you tie you know? I was like, no, you don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he was tell me, I know, right, that's what
Speaker 1: I should have said. But yeah, I wish I had
Speaker 1: I wish I had the balls to do that. But
Speaker 1: now he was like, and the boys are like all
Speaker 1: biting their tongue because they was like, we told you
Speaker 1: not to let him saying right. So so they're like,
Speaker 1: it's it's boys, It's okay. We'll just go get another
Speaker 1: and we'll have to pay for rest and we'll just
Speaker 1: go get another and come out. So I cost them
Speaker 1: like fifty bucks in a couple of hours, you know.
Speaker 1: But like after that, I was like, I'm never getting
Speaker 1: on another damn bull. But we'll let's we'll create the
Speaker 1: space to allow that younger Jason to heal because it
Speaker 1: was a fault. You know, they didn't train you. And
Speaker 1: then they tell me, you know, I'm saying, they thought
Speaker 1: they were doing something good. You know, we don't take
Speaker 1: the take the kid, take the poor kid out fishing.
Speaker 1: The only time we ever camped when I was a
Speaker 1: kid with my family was when they were painting the
Speaker 1: inside of our house and we shouldn't sleep in our room.
Speaker 1: And so they set up a tent. We borrowed a
Speaker 1: tent from the neighbors and put it in our backyard
Speaker 1: and that was. That was fucking dope. That was that
Speaker 1: was fun thing you can do that sounds fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was fun. And then I went in because I
Speaker 1: was like, this is uncomfortable. So I slept on the
Speaker 1: couch a thing with me and time I camped in
Speaker 1: my backyard and my dad was like like because he
Speaker 1: was like you really want to do this, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't know. We just watched that movie Congo where
Speaker 1: they just threw those pop tents out. They just threw
Speaker 1: the motherfucker out, and it was a fully made tent,
Speaker 1: and I was like, we gotta get on that way.
Speaker 1: So it's just dope. One of one of the our
Speaker 1: neighbors had one, so that we borrowed it. The tiniest,
Speaker 1: by the way, by by fucking I remember ten, like
Speaker 1: by ten o'clock. We got in there like at seven.
Speaker 1: I was like, I want to go inside, and he's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was gonna. I was actually gonna wait for me
Speaker 1: to fall asleep, and I was just drag your ass
Speaker 1: played video games. I love the Congo made you want
Speaker 1: to go camping because Jaws made me want to go
Speaker 1: swim in the ocean and get eaten by Like when
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, what is something you think is underrated? Underrated?
Speaker 1: I think just kind of not having a take on something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just gotta shutting up, Like I feel like that's
Speaker 1: I feel like that's underrated. I mean, and I'm saying
Speaker 1: this with full self awareness that my entire career is
Speaker 1: having a take, you know, But I just honestly like,
Speaker 1: I feel like if I because again I was preparing
Speaker 1: for this question and I feel like this is where
Speaker 1: I actually landed on. Like I just think, Yo, it's
Speaker 1: okay to like I have an opinion, yeah or yeah.
Speaker 1: It seems especially like on especially things like Twitter too,
Speaker 1: people are like sort of counting on accounts, like what
Speaker 1: is your take on this thing? Now? Your silence is deafening.
Speaker 1: Begin knows you haven't spoke about this. I'm like, because
Speaker 1: I mean, I have a fucking life, Like and do
Speaker 1: you know me personally? Because you can you can vet
Speaker 1: you can vet my energy on that level, not on
Speaker 1: how many times i'm hit and enter on my phone.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think that's what's really interesting too, is
Speaker 1: we've gotten like addicted to, like the take economy. And
Speaker 1: that's also because social media has become such a you know,
Speaker 1: like dominant force or you know, form of communicating that
Speaker 1: if you're not communicating via social media, it's like are
Speaker 1: they saying something? Yeah, like, man, I might be burnt
Speaker 1: the funk out because half the time I'm on here,
Speaker 1: I'm dealing with people trying to come at me about
Speaker 1: that about that, and I feel like it take is it.
Speaker 1: It's usually like an answer like this is how this
Speaker 1: thing is right, and that robs the world of mystery
Speaker 1: when you feel like you you always have to have
Speaker 1: the answer on whatever this thing is, as opposed to
Speaker 1: just being interested in and trying to learn more about it,
Speaker 1: and then you know, being like it's actually complicated, you know,
Speaker 1: Like I want to give an example here real quick,
Speaker 1: the Prego counter, the woman who was preparing spaghetti on
Speaker 1: her counter. People said that I was defending her, Miles
Speaker 1: you said I was defending her. All I was saying
Speaker 1: is that I was open to the possibility that this
Speaker 1: was not a viral video, that this was in fact
Speaker 1: her friend setting her up to look like a fool
Speaker 1: on the internet. That was just a possibility. I wasn't
Speaker 1: taking it one way or the other, but people came
Speaker 1: out with on the defensive prego lady. Yeah, I don't know, man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's look, we're just talking, and that's how the internet
Speaker 1: synthesizes people talking and exactly. Man, I saw that and
Speaker 1: I just I saw that video and I just went
Speaker 1: white and it just kept like I'm like, I don't
Speaker 1: have to have an opinion on it. I'm like, she's
Speaker 1: made a video about the counter thing. I don't get it.
Speaker 1: Definite problem. Why don't you stand against Why don't you
Speaker 1: stand against white supremacy. I'm like, fam like, let the
Speaker 1: lady if she want to make her spaghetti like that,
Speaker 1: it's none of my business. Italian violence, do you feel me?
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, just let let that lady live. Bro
Speaker 1: like you know, and I'm like, okay, even if it
Speaker 1: isn't like you said, maybe they just set it up
Speaker 1: for the viral video. Maybe, like I don't know, I'm
Speaker 1: not Italian, you know what I'm saying, Like, Look, I
Speaker 1: thought you all like prego. I thought that was like,
Speaker 1: can you know what I'm saying, Like, don't buy camp soli.
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous, so I just figured I don't have to
Speaker 1: have a take on it, like, okay, yeah, is there
Speaker 1: can plus Sola, I saw it in the story and
Speaker 1: I was like, that made my skin crawl. There's somewhere
Speaker 1: yeah no, no, no, no, no, yeah, yeah yeah. Alright,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and all right, let's let's put this
Speaker 1: story to bed. Let's put it in the ground list.
Speaker 1: Cheney was canceled cultured for not being full mega you
Speaker 1: hate to see it. After the vote was held to
Speaker 1: you know, formally put the steak in her she spoke
Speaker 1: to the press and was there's okay, this is what
Speaker 1: she said when they right after they fucking very quickly
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly pushed her out of leadership from the GOP. Clearly.
Speaker 1: So at this point she comes out that she's asked
Speaker 1: a few things. She just sort of gives her things
Speaker 1: like no, I'm not surprised, it's just where the party's at, uh,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do everything I can to stop it.
Speaker 1: And then she was asked, okay, well, what about the
Speaker 1: prospects of and Trump running again? Where do you see yourself,
Speaker 1: you know, positioned in that I will do everything I
Speaker 1: can to ensure uh that the former president never again
Speaker 1: gets anywhere near the Oval office. We have seen the danger. Uh,
Speaker 1: he continues to provoke with his language. We have seen him. Okay,
Speaker 1: so before you were willing to shut the funk up
Speaker 1: when he's in office like a little Facebook as. Okay,
Speaker 1: I like that, but you know, I see, but this
Speaker 1: is what we wanted to see. We wanted to see
Speaker 1: this point where it starts fracturing. And what happens now
Speaker 1: because yes, Cheney, she's part of the she's her dad
Speaker 1: is fucking Darth Vader, like we said she's not. She
Speaker 1: is connected to the old school leadership of the party
Speaker 1: and they are fully trying to cleave themselves off from that.
Speaker 1: And you know, this has apparently gotten like other Republicans
Speaker 1: now in their feelings too, because there's a report now
Speaker 1: that over a hundred Republicans, including some elected officials, former
Speaker 1: elected officials, no one's sitting in Congress. They're preparing to
Speaker 1: release a letter threatening to form a third party. And
Speaker 1: they're what they're saying is their whole thing is like
Speaker 1: you needed to touch yourself from Trump. And I think
Speaker 1: they're just pump facing, but a third party could if
Speaker 1: they really did. I mean, it's a lot of money
Speaker 1: to put it to start a third party right now,
Speaker 1: but if they did, it could be a potential GOP
Speaker 1: spoiler party. Uh, and that could be interesting. But I'm
Speaker 1: all for this. This this sounds great. Sounds Are they
Speaker 1: going to do it? You know what I mean? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Because then they would completely threaten the conservative movement, Like
Speaker 1: how do you what happens? But I just want to
Speaker 1: play this clip because one of the one of the
Speaker 1: people who's a signatory to this letter, he has literal
Speaker 1: fighting words for the GOP, and I just want to
Speaker 1: play this so you know the GOP is on on alert.
Speaker 1: Is if you can think about the existing GOP leadership
Speaker 1: as the dinosaurs, we're about ready to be the asteroids.
Speaker 1: Damn gangster over here, We're going to be the asteroids.
Speaker 1: We're about to be I mean he if you think
Speaker 1: of the current GOP leadership like just like so inelegantly constructive, yeah,
Speaker 1: you you could think of us maybe as the dinosaurs. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I should clarify the dinosaurs the asteroids that took out
Speaker 1: the dinosaurs and not the asteroids from so in the
Speaker 1: Jurassic period. You what I'm saying, like, right, they just
Speaker 1: should have played Conway the Machine or like Griselda to
Speaker 1: do a dis track to let them alert them about
Speaker 1: Like no, we don't. We don't do drive buys. We
Speaker 1: do walk ups, homie, you know what I mean. If
Speaker 1: it's smoke, we got, we got goons with Kay's waving,
Speaker 1: you know, but we're the asteroids. Like it's so it's
Speaker 1: now now granted. This story to me, like this is
Speaker 1: bulls eye hood politics. It's like, this is exactly right,
Speaker 1: this is exactly this is the story. Because it's like
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, you ride, you ride for the setter,
Speaker 1: you ride for the boss. When the boss goes down,
Speaker 1: It's like, what's your calculus? Are you gonna stick with
Speaker 1: this guy? Like do you you know when Escobar? When
Speaker 1: Escobar falls, do you keep riding with him? Or you
Speaker 1: like not a cartel gotta last, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So if you list Cheney, you're playing the long game.
Speaker 1: You're like, look, man, the hood gonna come first, the
Speaker 1: hook gonna out last artists. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: At some point on y'all gonna forget about this naked
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, so like, let me played
Speaker 1: this long game, or you like, you know what's the
Speaker 1: short money. Let's let's let's hit this lick real quick.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying right now, this word the
Speaker 1: hood at You know what I'm saying, everybody, everybody amped
Speaker 1: on this. We need to push your out and let's
Speaker 1: keep this story going because we could keep hitting this lick.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You just ride it out
Speaker 1: until it's done, you know, and then after that you
Speaker 1: pivot again because no one cares about consistency in the GOP.
Speaker 1: Say so, then you're like, look, we'll just pivot when
Speaker 1: it's signed to pivot, you know what I'm saying, But
Speaker 1: like you known pivot you That's the thing that's weird too,
Speaker 1: because they don't know what anyone's calculus is. They don't
Speaker 1: know because step with this new third party be would
Speaker 1: it just be the same politics, the same conservative politics,
Speaker 1: with just the white supremacy not said out loud like before?
Speaker 1: Is that ann to let them really hit the pedal
Speaker 1: to the metal on all this, you know, like they're
Speaker 1: fully on some fascist authoritarian agenda. Now that yeah, she's
Speaker 1: wiping out voting rights and ship yeah, and then she
Speaker 1: might be left in the cold. That's why I'm hoping
Speaker 1: if I'm writing the story, if it's like fucking power
Speaker 1: or some ships. Oh you don't want to suck the
Speaker 1: Chainey's yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't want you know, you
Speaker 1: don't want that, But I don't know. It's it's hard
Speaker 1: to say because what the GLP did. They let Trump
Speaker 1: in and he took over, and now I think they're
Speaker 1: really confused because before they're like, it's fine, it's fine,
Speaker 1: we still got this. We just need him to win elections,
Speaker 1: like the infection is fully taken over now, and yeah,
Speaker 1: they grossly underestimated his ability to like really will wield
Speaker 1: this ship. Because if you again, like I mean, we
Speaker 1: covered this before. But like when I when I look
Speaker 1: at like a Mitch McConnell, like clearly his game was like, look, man,
Speaker 1: I need these judges, I need this power moves. I
Speaker 1: don't really care about what none of y'all think, Like
Speaker 1: I'm making these power moves and when he's done, he's done.
Speaker 1: And again, consistency don't matter, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm just this is what I need from him, you
Speaker 1: feel me? And um, but if you do, but that
Speaker 1: but that dynasty or thing, it's like it's really as
Speaker 1: as lame as that was. That really is the question.
Speaker 1: It's like are y'all oh heads, y'all o gs Like
Speaker 1: do you listen to your O G s? You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like is this do you let them say?
Speaker 1: You know, like it's almost like that like weird, like
Speaker 1: the transition from like the John Gottis, you know, like
Speaker 1: the old school dudes from Sicily into like the John
Speaker 1: Gotties that are like, hella, flashy. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: They're like, this is what we're doing now, this is
Speaker 1: what the mob doing now, you know what I'm saying
Speaker 1: in the US because they were two out and they
Speaker 1: were two out there, you feel me. So to me,
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's to me if I if I'm trying
Speaker 1: to be in Liz Cheney's brain being a legacy person,
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, yeah, the the these fools come and go.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like this ship come and go.
Speaker 1: You know what what need to last is like you know,
Speaker 1: again being legacy, it's like how like how like you said,
Speaker 1: Dick Cheney is Darth Vader, who was verifiably wrong. Like
Speaker 1: what he said, he testified, Yeah, I wouldn't no weapons
Speaker 1: over here. We just we just went we're all there
Speaker 1: for that oil. Nick, you know what I'm saying and like,
Speaker 1: and it's like testified, but he's still getting movies about him.
Speaker 1: Do you know people lovingly like embracing George Bush like
Speaker 1: oh look at him now. It's like, so you like,
Speaker 1: you know you can outlast this ship, you feel me?
Speaker 1: But if you but if you like, if you double down,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, man, So to me, I
Speaker 1: feel like that's what she's doing. But also last thing
Speaker 1: I would say is like I hate to say every time,
Speaker 1: every time the GOP used the term canceled, I just
Speaker 1: think to myself, man, we just can't talk in front
Speaker 1: of white people just roy our words. Man, they'd be like, oh,
Speaker 1: the woke left. I'm like my dad used to say woke,
Speaker 1: like my seventies smooth black panther. Dad like gotta stay woke,
Speaker 1: young brother. So I'm like, now you got it, And
Speaker 1: I'm like I can't. We can't say canceled, y'all ruins swag,
Speaker 1: you turn it all the poison. I'm just like, man,
Speaker 1: maybe we just shouldn't talk in front of y'all, like
Speaker 1: because you just even you're saying, well, we're gonna cancel
Speaker 1: culture and I'm like, well, you're about to cancel this Cheney,
Speaker 1: Well that's different. It's not. I'm like, you don't even
Speaker 1: know what it means, Like, god, dog, why is this
Speaker 1: your word? Like, damn it, man, talk in front of y'all.
Speaker 1: Y'all take y'all take blues and make it swing dancing,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like what the god? Damn it?
Speaker 1: You know, like Kevin McCarthy, he's gonna be like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, uh, we had to get Liz Cheney out
Speaker 1: because she was just she was flavorant with her rhetoric.
Speaker 1: And that's on blood. Yes exactly. You will be at
Speaker 1: all period what she gone on? Period? And I'm like, anyways,
Speaker 1: shout out to neighborhood six. So the fu Yeah, so
Speaker 1: marathon continues, Like what is like, okay, anyway, that's right,
Speaker 1: they will watch. That's Nancy Pelosi is going to say,
Speaker 1: the marathon continues. She will mark the marathon continues, that
Speaker 1: will be a day. Yeah, then it's official. We just
Speaker 1: can't talk in front of you all. Uh, let's talk
Speaker 1: about anti maskers. They now are afraid of people who
Speaker 1: have been vaccinated, because the anti maskers and anti vaxers
Speaker 1: are basically a circle no longer than diagram. But now
Speaker 1: they are, like, there's some conflict there because now the
Speaker 1: anti maskers want a mask to stick keep free of
Speaker 1: the vaxer's germs. I guess because they're they're so caught
Speaker 1: up on this modified RNA. They're they're fundamental misunderstandings of
Speaker 1: vaccines and even the technology of this specific one has
Speaker 1: sent them into this other world in which there are
Speaker 1: certain they're like, you know, this is just you make
Speaker 1: you infertile and things like that. So right now they're saying, quote,
Speaker 1: vaccinated will shed certain proteins onto the unvaccinated, who will
Speaker 1: then suffer adverse effects as well, which is the shedding
Speaker 1: will cause irregular menstruation, in fertility and miscarriages. And again
Speaker 1: this was all part of like motivating some people to
Speaker 1: not get it. And now influencers in the anti vaccine
Speaker 1: community are awarding their followers to social distance. Okay, and
Speaker 1: on a live stream, one of these uh inflin know
Speaker 1: whatever conspiracy theorists was saying telling them employing their viewers
Speaker 1: say to stay away from somebody who's had these shots forever,
Speaker 1: because we don't know how long they can be a
Speaker 1: threat to us. Another anti vaxcor conspiracy theorist said he's
Speaker 1: a New York pediatrician and conspiracy theorist, because you also
Speaker 1: want your pediatrician to be a conspiracy theorist. I think
Speaker 1: everyone know that he was saying that vaccinate people should
Speaker 1: quote have a badge on their arms that say I've
Speaker 1: been vaccinated even though it's not a vaccine, so that
Speaker 1: we know to avoid them on the street, to not
Speaker 1: go near them anywhere in society. And I'm like, this
Speaker 1: is kind of cool. Yeah, let's let them let them
Speaker 1: away from us. Like the funk up they're doing the
Speaker 1: thing that we like felt like we shouldn't be doing technically,
Speaker 1: is like making them wear something to like avoid them
Speaker 1: because they could still have COVID nineteen like, so they're
Speaker 1: just doing that that work for us. Yeah, the pretzel,
Speaker 1: like the brain pretzel, you gotta get into to make
Speaker 1: that work, rather than something as simple as a viruses
Speaker 1: come out your nose and mouth, so you should cover
Speaker 1: your nose and mouth. That's been real simple to me,
Speaker 1: but all it is riggamo role you gotta do to
Speaker 1: get to like my my skin cells are gonna shed
Speaker 1: and the proteins will so much work, bro Like got dog,
Speaker 1: that's so much work. Yeah. But what's interesting, there's like
Speaker 1: a new thing I was reading from m I T
Speaker 1: research researchers who are sort of infiltrating these groups just
Speaker 1: to kind of study them like empirically, and they're saying
Speaker 1: like their respect for like empiricism is really something like
Speaker 1: they really really try and use the same methodology of
Speaker 1: accepted science to sort of even navigate like their own
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories. So it's this really weird interest in science,
Speaker 1: but it's coming from the worst angle and the worst
Speaker 1: set of ideas to start off with. But the whole
Speaker 1: thing with this though, too, This this sort of idea
Speaker 1: of of shedding and the fear of that has gotten
Speaker 1: to the point where others of the time about how
Speaker 1: they should quarantine vaccinated family members. There was a school
Speaker 1: in Miami that was even prohibiting a like vaccinated teachers
Speaker 1: from interacting with students. The mask thing is still up
Speaker 1: in the air though, because apparently right now the shedding
Speaker 1: debate is like the new hot ticket item where they're
Speaker 1: using to you know, justify their fear or whatever. I
Speaker 1: just feel like, man, some people just need a culture war.
Speaker 1: You just gotta turn everything into a culture war. And
Speaker 1: it's it's it's exhausting, you know. And I just like
Speaker 1: this this new turn to me, Like I was finally
Speaker 1: like usually you just like what what what this one?
Speaker 1: I was like, Man, I'm tired. Man Like, man, come on, y'all,
Speaker 1: come on, man, you know what I'm saying, Like, you know,
Speaker 1: anybody died from polio? Yeah, me neither? You know why
Speaker 1: you know I'm saying, I don't know nobody with smallpox strvy,
Speaker 1: like you know, anybody with Ricketts? Like no, I just like,
Speaker 1: why is it so hard? Man? Like why everything I'd
Speaker 1: be a war? Why everything I'd be a war? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's because I think on some level, you know, like
Speaker 1: it just plays into people's psychology or their own personal
Speaker 1: history where like they've just become contrarian throughout their lives.
Speaker 1: And this because I look at even people who before
Speaker 1: who started veering in this direction, and people in my
Speaker 1: own family who before we're just like the trippy family member.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like, oh, you know, like this is
Speaker 1: my secret I eat, I have these herbs to stay here.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah nineties and ship and
Speaker 1: now they're kind of on this like anything masks work,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh fuck. I mean it's sort of
Speaker 1: like it's definitely like a personality trait because I would
Speaker 1: have never begged them for that because they're very intelligent.
Speaker 1: But again, this is something we've discussed to like with
Speaker 1: cult members, like intelligence can kind of suck you up too,
Speaker 1: because you can really can convince yourself that you're what
Speaker 1: you're saying. Yeah, man, the the yeah, like the unraveling
Speaker 1: of like the baseline of reality that you've set up.
Speaker 1: If that unravels, it's like only chaos can be on
Speaker 1: the other side of this, you know what I'm saying
Speaker 1: with But like those of us who've been through certain
Speaker 1: lived a little bit through metamorphosis that are like you,
Speaker 1: you can't be afraid of that cliff, you know, so
Speaker 1: once you jump over that cliff and you're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's fine. You know what I'm saying. The world didn't
Speaker 1: blow up, you know what I'm saying, Like I remember
Speaker 1: I you know, I can't from like any other black
Speaker 1: Presidentale we went to church. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So I like the first time I had like you know,
Speaker 1: pre marital sex, and God didn't rip the roof open
Speaker 1: and strike my naked body with lightning. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying that You're just like I guess, oh, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it's like, all right,
Speaker 1: So now I get to decide, like what kind of
Speaker 1: man am I gonna be? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's not not for fear of you know, immediate destruction,
Speaker 1: you feel me. So I just think like when that
Speaker 1: reality unravels, you know what I'm saying. And I honestly
Speaker 1: think like you said, like it had nothing to do it,
Speaker 1: They got nothing to do it intelligence. But like to me,
Speaker 1: it's like that fear of the unraveling, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like you have you ain't never looked into
Speaker 1: no abyss, you know, and and was willing to walk
Speaker 1: into and you realize Yo's snaria, bro, Like you could
Speaker 1: go through the looking glass and it's fine. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You might jump off the cliff and
Speaker 1: realize you could fly naked. I can fly, you know what.
Speaker 1: It's gonna just come bringing you splat down on the ground.
Speaker 1: That part of that is the growth you experience is
Speaker 1: going into the unknown, yeah, you know, and being willing
Speaker 1: to be wrong, you know what I'm saying, Like then,
Speaker 1: and I think that that like that's another thing. I
Speaker 1: feel like what happened in that world is like man,
Speaker 1: you just yo take the l like you like, there's
Speaker 1: no problem being like you know what I used to
Speaker 1: think this about masks turns out, you know what I'm saying, like,
Speaker 1: just it's cool to be wrong. Would be like I thought,
Speaker 1: Look I was, I was fucked up on fucking loose change,
Speaker 1: like coming out of college, and you know, to then
Speaker 1: I was like, well maybe I can, Like I can,
Speaker 1: I could like go some some weird expiracy theories and
Speaker 1: ship like that. But it definitely takes a moment too
Speaker 1: where you gotta be able to say, oh, right, everything
Speaker 1: that I believe doesn't have to be real. In fact,
Speaker 1: this is a very This is a process of like
Speaker 1: sorting through ideas and ideologies and figuring out like what
Speaker 1: is best for me? Yeah, but there's just too much
Speaker 1: there's too much information. It's the it's the uh. I
Speaker 1: feel like this is the combination of the fact that
Speaker 1: you know, there's no authoritative source that everybody agrees on,
Speaker 1: this is where you get your information from. So there's
Speaker 1: just everything is a source of information. And then that
Speaker 1: combined with the American psychology of being allergic to collect
Speaker 1: collectivism and needing something to differentiate yourself from other people,
Speaker 1: to make you feel special, to make you feel like
Speaker 1: you're like a tiny version of Harry Potter, where you're
Speaker 1: like the one who was always like who was chosen
Speaker 1: to know this hidden information like America. I think America
Speaker 1: has become increasingly reliant on those sorts of things psychologically,
Speaker 1: as things like social like people stopped going to church,
Speaker 1: people stopped going to bowling leagues, people stopped getting to
Speaker 1: know their neighbors. Uh, and now it's like we need
Speaker 1: to not just believe that we are perfect like individuals
Speaker 1: who control our own destiny, but that we're like special,
Speaker 1: magical individuals who are more the most important in the
Speaker 1: world secretly revolves around them. It's kind of like that
Speaker 1: to that mentality. I was talking to somebody over the
Speaker 1: weekend about how like when you're younger, your personality is
Speaker 1: more defined about with like what you're not fucking with,
Speaker 1: not necessarily what you're interested in. It's mostly defined about
Speaker 1: what you reject, and like that's a very beginning phase
Speaker 1: of identity formation. Is like I'm not working with it.
Speaker 1: Oh fucking that cartoon. No, that's for babies, you know what?
Speaker 1: Mentality And that's the same thing. Oh wearing masks us Like,
Speaker 1: it's not that's not a way to navigate this this
Speaker 1: in your life. Not because then when you think about
Speaker 1: what you hit like middle school and you gotta find
Speaker 1: your like what I like to call your er, Like
Speaker 1: I'm a skater, I'm a wrapper, a rap. You gotta
Speaker 1: find your er and then I'm going along with your example.
Speaker 1: Some people never like, oh I don't wrap, I'm with this.
Speaker 1: You know, if you don't never mature out of that,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Whereas like I left that
Speaker 1: in eighth grade, Like you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: these rules are not hard and fast, like I can
Speaker 1: like Nirvana, like what's what's wrong with me? Like in Nirvana?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But that that next thing, right,
Speaker 1: that next evolution of like forming your your your sense
Speaker 1: of self to where you're like, yeah, these categories are
Speaker 1: made up. They don't have to be this way, and
Speaker 1: my importance as an individual is it's not a zero
Speaker 1: sum game. You know what I'm saying that like if
Speaker 1: I if I allow myself to be a part of
Speaker 1: the collective community, you know what I'm saying, That that's
Speaker 1: somehow another takes away from my individualism. Yeah, that's like
Speaker 1: you gotta like yeah, you're yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And then and then it's like, what's crazy? It's like
Speaker 1: how you how you how you kid yourself with this
Speaker 1: idea of like you're saying, like I need my nose
Speaker 1: to be more special, Like I'm what America's earth special
Speaker 1: little guy, you know what I'm saying, And I am
Speaker 1: the special little guy in America, Right, I don't I
Speaker 1: think for myself. But yet you still are part of
Speaker 1: a herd, and that herd is called anti vax you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It's like you still join in
Speaker 1: the tribe. You know what I'm saying. You're still in
Speaker 1: a crew, you know, thrown in with like your own code,
Speaker 1: the truth. M yeah, your own research. That's the thing
Speaker 1: they all say now, which just means like you have
Speaker 1: to like go to trustworthy sources like I've been doing
Speaker 1: it as a former as a former ninth grade teacher,
Speaker 1: I can tell you none of these fools know how
Speaker 1: to research, so yeah, I would have you would have
Speaker 1: all failed my class, Like this is not This ain't
Speaker 1: a research paper for that's a mean Did you check
Speaker 1: this source? Because like uk this source? Did you did?
Speaker 1: Are you? Did you look for any dissenting voices? Do this?
Speaker 1: Over do this paper? But Arthur's bawled up. This represents
Speaker 1: that anti bed and plantation owners ready to knuckle up
Speaker 1: against the north. That's what you got, all right, let's look,
Speaker 1: here's the timeline John Brown. Then you got the Arthur fist. Okay,
Speaker 1: then you got that SpongeBob meme where they're looking out
Speaker 1: the window and they're having fun. So seriously, so that's
Speaker 1: what it is. You're just trying to brainwash me. Okay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like people are you know, did you guys
Speaker 1: ever have friends who would stop liking a band once
Speaker 1: other people start liking you, stop liking a musician once
Speaker 1: other people started Like that, I feel like that's how
Speaker 1: people are now with like news sources, like that's just
Speaker 1: too that's too mainstream. Too many people respect it's write
Speaker 1: it's like to the point where, like with Alex Jones,
Speaker 1: that's like sometimes when you hear people like man only
Speaker 1: funk with this kind of music or whatever, and you're like, no,
Speaker 1: this person is kind of at the top of the game.
Speaker 1: You're like, nah, fuck, that's trash, and I'm like, that's
Speaker 1: that's not a really good comparison. Like I caught the
Speaker 1: chance the rapper effect, because it's like everybody liked him
Speaker 1: when he was the people's champ, he was touring the
Speaker 1: world with a mixtape. Then the guy actually succeeds, he
Speaker 1: lands a record deal, gets married, has some children. It's
Speaker 1: like I sold out, Like yeah, you mean it worked?
Speaker 1: Like yeah. Also, like I'd hate to tell you about
Speaker 1: his family backstory too, if you you're doing this kind
Speaker 1: of myth building in your mind, right right, all right,
Speaker 1: let's take another quick break. We'll be right back, and
Speaker 1: we're back, and let's talk about how another sort of
Speaker 1: piece of GOP canceled culture that they would never call
Speaker 1: cancel culture, but they are trying to so the sixteen
Speaker 1: nineteen project aims to kind of reincorporate the history of
Speaker 1: slavery into the history that children are taught in U
Speaker 1: s schools about America, I feel like the last decade
Speaker 1: has proven that is absolutely urgent, since so much of
Speaker 1: like racist discourse stems from an inability to grapple with
Speaker 1: the legacy of slavery and institutional racism. And like I
Speaker 1: heard somebody describe it as like, right now children are
Speaker 1: getting the history of the Holocaust as taught by the
Speaker 1: Third Reich, like and it feels like that's, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: pretty fucking accurate. And because you're just and and like,
Speaker 1: the more that you see this conversation happening where the
Speaker 1: GOP is trying to stop this, like you that that
Speaker 1: is essentially there's like, well we don't we don't have
Speaker 1: to talk about all that. That's divisive. Um, that's what
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell called it. He called it divisive nonsense. But
Speaker 1: so I wanted to talk about this one Tennessee lawmaker though,
Speaker 1: because he got like straight up threatening, Uh dude, Lafferty
Speaker 1: from Tennessee was claiming just showed his whole ask and
Speaker 1: claimed that the three fist compromise was a good thing
Speaker 1: and was like in some like you know, convoluted reasoning
Speaker 1: was aimed at stopping slavery. And then he said, I
Speaker 1: say this only because I'm tired. Y'all. The people of
Speaker 1: this nation are tired. If you start looking for trouble,
Speaker 1: I guarantee you you're gonna find it. Which is that's
Speaker 1: straight up. That's straight up like the thing that a
Speaker 1: KKK characters like, Yeah, Like that's you're looking for trouble
Speaker 1: because you're gonna find it. That's that's like bad guy ship.
Speaker 1: What the funk are you talking about? And by trouble,
Speaker 1: I mean just saying what happened? Like just look, I'm
Speaker 1: actually just looking for the history of this country. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, what I guess it's smoke then? Yeah, have
Speaker 1: you have y'all read this book called What Is Justice?
Speaker 1: Is Malcolm Michael Sandow. He's a Harvard professor whatever, but
Speaker 1: he has this, um this book about like what do
Speaker 1: you what do you mean when you say just and uh?
Speaker 1: And he gives his like three kind of like buckets
Speaker 1: to to to to drop stuff in. So you have like, um,
Speaker 1: your idea of justice, like the greatest amount of good
Speaker 1: for the greatest amount of people. Right, So it's like
Speaker 1: that would be like more like a left leaning kind
Speaker 1: of socialist way of thinking about like this is but
Speaker 1: what's the most good we can do right for the
Speaker 1: most amount of people. And then there then he said
Speaker 1: another way to think about it is like justice is
Speaker 1: freedom to flourish, right, so like just set me up
Speaker 1: so I can master my destiny, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It Obviously that's like a more libertarian approach, right. But
Speaker 1: then he said, this third way is this idea of
Speaker 1: like the ideal society. Right, So it's this like justice
Speaker 1: is we should all be aiming at what culture should be, right,
Speaker 1: which means that that's a fixed idea in nature, that
Speaker 1: justice is this, and we all need to succumb to
Speaker 1: this definition of justice, right, And that's more of a
Speaker 1: like a conservative way of approaching things. So when I
Speaker 1: hear stuff like this after you know, reading this book,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you couple that with the way that like
Speaker 1: they approach like trans rights and like l g B,
Speaker 1: t q i A rights. It's like, at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, you just you just don't think this
Speaker 1: should exist. Like, so you're not arguing rights, you're arguing existence,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And right here you're proving it.
Speaker 1: So when you talk about like these like these new
Speaker 1: trans laws with like the children and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, the more I thought
Speaker 1: about it, I was like, oh, you just you just
Speaker 1: think there shouldn't be trans people's that's where we are.
Speaker 1: You you just think they don't this than your construction
Speaker 1: of the universe, so we need it. So take it
Speaker 1: all the way back to like marriage equality. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: y'all shouldn't be, so we're gonna stop you from having
Speaker 1: rights because you shouldn't exist, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So when I think about like them saying this whole
Speaker 1: thing about let's just not talk about sixteen nineteen and
Speaker 1: in that, it's like, oh, because you've constructed a universe.
Speaker 1: That means and in your universe you weren't racist, and
Speaker 1: racism doesn't exist, so let's not talk about it because
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be, you know what I'm saying. And that
Speaker 1: is just and I'm just like, that's this. So when
Speaker 1: I when I finally think about, like, that's what I'm
Speaker 1: talking to you about, like I'm still trying to convince
Speaker 1: you we exist. Police brutality, Well, it's not a thing, yes,
Speaker 1: it is, like saying, like that's why exactly. So I'm
Speaker 1: like so when I look at this, I'm like, that's
Speaker 1: your goal, and it just all made sense to me.
Speaker 1: Like that's your goal. You have an idea of what
Speaker 1: culture should be, and if none of us fit into that,
Speaker 1: you're gonna do everything in your power to erase it.
Speaker 1: And and I'm like, that's not now. I know are
Speaker 1: now I know the chess board, you know. I feel
Speaker 1: like with this. So like you said with him saying,
Speaker 1: you're looking for trouble, you find it. I'm like, like
Speaker 1: you said, show this whole ask, I'm like, got it.
Speaker 1: You it. You don't believe it doesn't exist in your world,
Speaker 1: you can't look at it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, all right, well it still happened, just
Speaker 1: like just like the same they would like would the
Speaker 1: same thing with Like again, like I think a good
Speaker 1: parallel is the trans community. I'm like, but they but
Speaker 1: they exist, they already here, like I wouldn't know, but
Speaker 1: that's what and if they are, that's why we need
Speaker 1: these laws to protect people. Because I said, it's not
Speaker 1: something I'm willing to you know, extending the empathy towards Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. And I'm just like, that's so I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is this is preposterous, Like do you which it's
Speaker 1: but it happened, Like what do you want us to
Speaker 1: You got a time machine in there somewhere like it happened. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's yeah, this is again they all, they all, because
Speaker 1: we've talked about this. It's just too uncomfortable to have
Speaker 1: that be the table they eat at. What we're all
Speaker 1: going to say? You know what, We're all equal, and
Speaker 1: we do need to actually have a reckoning with what happened,
Speaker 1: even though I have no physical direct connection to your
Speaker 1: oppression in the slavery sense. But I don't even want
Speaker 1: to think of what my role is now. And because
Speaker 1: I'm not willing to examine that, we just need to
Speaker 1: dead everything now. Yeah, all right, let's talk real quick
Speaker 1: about the Secret Service. Donald Trump Jr's wife was fucking
Speaker 1: a Secret Service agent. Trump was probably hooking up with
Speaker 1: one of her Secret Service agents. According to who Jack
Speaker 1: is this from your That signals this is from people
Speaker 1: make Oh I'm sorry, this is from a from Politzer
Speaker 1: Prize winning journalist who has broken news about the secrets
Speaker 1: of his agents in the past, so that it is
Speaker 1: not like literally the least surprising news I think I've
Speaker 1: read about the Trump family because look at look at
Speaker 1: those guys. But meanwhile, the other member of the Trump
Speaker 1: family who seemed to have a penchant for a tall,
Speaker 1: dark and handsome Secret Service agents was the president that
Speaker 1: This report from a journalist named Lennig also reports that
Speaker 1: it was not clear if Donald Trump knew what Secret
Speaker 1: Service agent personnel we're saying about his daughter and daughter
Speaker 1: in law, but she says the president did repeatedly seek
Speaker 1: to remove Secret Service staff he deemed to be overweight
Speaker 1: or too short for the job. I need the men
Speaker 1: watching my family to be tall and hot, is basically
Speaker 1: the yeah, alright, bringing the next group of agents. Alright, Sash,
Speaker 1: you stay away. I want them to be real cute. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: your pant leg let me see that, let me see
Speaker 1: that quad development. Right, this is the most on brand
Speaker 1: story possible, Like it's just so on brand, And yeah,
Speaker 1: I believe this, But I also believe this about probably
Speaker 1: every other president that like, of course the staff was
Speaker 1: hooking up, you know, obviously because their children, but like
Speaker 1: you know, uh, yeah, I ship every president and first
Speaker 1: lady with their Secret Service agents. That's just when when
Speaker 1: I create that fan fiction you know what this the
Speaker 1: Secret Service does not come come out looking good. I
Speaker 1: mean for obvious reasons. In that case, it's like unprofessional.
Speaker 1: But there's also some situations with I mean the ship
Speaker 1: that I had to put up with with Trump's he
Speaker 1: kept pushing this idea that they needed to tear down
Speaker 1: the fence around the White House and replace it with
Speaker 1: one that looked better. And also and apparently like a
Speaker 1: big part of that was every time you drove over
Speaker 1: the barrier like between the White House and like that's
Speaker 1: side world. Uh, there was a bump that he didn't like.
Speaker 1: It's literally like the Princess and the p type ship
Speaker 1: where he was like this bump is really too much.
Speaker 1: But there's some big questions about like, you know, one
Speaker 1: of them took to social media to express solidarity with
Speaker 1: the January six rioters, saying they were patriots. He also
Speaker 1: claimed that disguised Antifa had started the violence. I'm sure
Speaker 1: she's not the person like guarding by now right, but
Speaker 1: like what if there are other agents who are sympathetic
Speaker 1: to her politics and like just aren't dumb enough to
Speaker 1: post it on social media Like that's it's just that
Speaker 1: that's a fund up situation being where we are reliant
Speaker 1: on people who like kind of fit into that world
Speaker 1: of like law enforcement to protect the president, and like
Speaker 1: the law enforcement world is aligned with Trump and white supremacy.
Speaker 1: I don't mind it person being ill informed and professional,
Speaker 1: Like I mean, you could be intelligence to know what
Speaker 1: profession you know what I'm saying, to just be you
Speaker 1: could be a professional, like if you were like hell, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, I mean I think, yeah, I think the
Speaker 1: election was stolen this and this, but yo, this is
Speaker 1: my job though, like I this is what I signed
Speaker 1: up for. You know, I'm down to do the job.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm not really a fan of Kamala, Like okay, cool, cool,
Speaker 1: do your thing, do your job, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Like that to me, it's like where are those dudes,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like those are the ones
Speaker 1: that I'm like, I mean, I don't care, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But this thing right here where it's
Speaker 1: like you ain't got the sense enough to keep the
Speaker 1: ship to yourself man, Like you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like you're starting to that that's someone who's starting to
Speaker 1: see themselves as a hero. Yes, yes, definitely that someone
Speaker 1: who is on their way too don't need no heroes,
Speaker 1: and I can do something about this based on my
Speaker 1: proximity to things like let's just leave that alone, right, probly,
Speaker 1: it has been such a pleasure having you on TDZ.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding? Dog? Like when I man, I'm not
Speaker 1: even list of fanboying, you know what I'm saying, I've
Speaker 1: been doing for a while, and especially like if I
Speaker 1: can uh put you'll blasted a little bit. Like when
Speaker 1: we had our first sort of you know, exploratory meeting
Speaker 1: to kind of see y'all not in podcast mode at
Speaker 1: that time. I was like, people, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I'm reading these dudes right, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: because like just chill and professional and never talking louder
Speaker 1: than this, Like, hey, so think about what do you
Speaker 1: think this pot is going? He's like, hey, yeah, we
Speaker 1: really like your direction and were just thinking. I'm just like,
Speaker 1: is this the is this the dude singing about pizza
Speaker 1: kitchen everything? Hey? Professionalism, That's what I'm saying. That's why
Speaker 1: I'm like, I respect that. Then I got off the
Speaker 1: phone and I was like, I respect that, like their professionals,
Speaker 1: you know, it would be funny for like, what's up? Prop?
Speaker 1: That's so true because i'd be hello, uncomfortable there, like
Speaker 1: whoa that. Yeah, I'm like, you don't like, I don't
Speaker 1: whoop whoop cuse cousin business meetings Like that's like I'm

Speaker 1: early on. For anybody who has any remote interest in politics,
Speaker 1: the hood, hip hop, anything like that. It's such a
Speaker 1: seamless fusion of everything, and you're so you're so, You're
Speaker 1: just so easily switched from talking about something very politically
Speaker 1: some geopolitical context to them being like comparing it to
Speaker 1: a fifty cent lyric yeah, and then like making things
Speaker 1: really connecting ways that I haven't even thought about. So
