Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to season one, seventy six,

Speaker 1: America's share consciousness. And it is Wednesday, March. My name

Speaker 1: I got something to read to you. British coal gas
Speaker 1: is bad and it really isn't safe to use. I
Speaker 1: know you think I'm insane, but the study's stuck up
Speaker 1: in my brain. Oh Miles, this can't fuel my stove anymore.
Speaker 1: Or that is courtesy of official Dickhead. And y'all, if
Speaker 1: you want me to stop talking about the British cold
Speaker 1: gas study, you can't imply in your A K A
Speaker 1: that that study is about British cold gas being an
Speaker 1: unsafe fueling alternative. For is about second degree suicide. It
Speaker 1: is the means the means for someone killing themselves. A
Speaker 1: lot of suicide second degree. It's heat of the moment,
Speaker 1: and if you take away the weapon they use, uh,
Speaker 1: then they will not kill themselves in a lot of cases.
Speaker 1: That is what that I'm just gonna call it the
Speaker 1: British second degree suicide study. Uh, it's not just that
Speaker 1: a British cold gas turns out as stinky anyways, But

Speaker 1: Talentip Maurice Chary. Thanks for having me, Thanks for having
Speaker 1: being Thank you, And on the day before my birthday,
Speaker 1: I have to say that this is I could not
Speaker 1: have thought of a better way to ring in the
Speaker 1: last day about thirties, So thank you. All right, because
Speaker 1: today is St Patrick's day? What are we? What are
Speaker 1: we doing official pre birthday turn up? Exactly? Wait, so Maurice,
Speaker 1: what was it like for you? Because we spoke to
Speaker 1: you I think in the summer, late for fall ish
Speaker 1: and before the pant So that means did your did
Speaker 1: your birthday last year get completely upended by pandemic? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: So you're going this is too? Is this about to be?
Speaker 1: Do you think you can carve out a slight thing,
Speaker 1: a safety backyard thing this year what's your You know,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna have to delay it. At one point
Speaker 1: in time, I said, I'm just gonna turn thirty nine again.
Speaker 1: I'll just be thirty nine plus one or whatever. But
Speaker 1: now that vaccines are coming out and it looks like
Speaker 1: some I to say, social restrictions have been relaxed, but
Speaker 1: I live in Atlanta where everyone has pretty much come
Speaker 1: to place since we've only had three weeks of lockdown. Um,
Speaker 1: so I don't know yet. I'm gonna plan something out,
Speaker 1: probably later in the year, once the vaccines are more
Speaker 1: out there to people in the immunity is greater. But
Speaker 1: right now I can wait. Okay, good, yeah, Yeah, that
Speaker 1: mugginess that is usually uh not so pleasant, turns out
Speaker 1: is saving lives in the in the southeast of the
Speaker 1: United States. Well we'll actually talk about that in a
Speaker 1: little bit. Wait for real, Yeah, muggy humidity is good
Speaker 1: for basically if the air is uh drenched, uh, then
Speaker 1: the droplets drop down and we've already got pollen. Like
Speaker 1: pollen is already crazy in Atlanta. So someone will sneeze
Speaker 1: and you really don't know as a COVID could be
Speaker 1: both could be neither, You don't know. Yeah. Meanwhile, like
Speaker 1: my sneeze from two weeks ago is still just hanging
Speaker 1: out outside my house because the air out here so
Speaker 1: just dry. All right, Well, Maurice, we're gonna get to
Speaker 1: know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of the things
Speaker 1: we're talking about today. Uh. We're gonna take a look
Speaker 1: back at something I had forgotten about. I had assumed
Speaker 1: it was be fucked, but the Kavanaugh FBI investigation from
Speaker 1: all those decades ago during the Kavanaugh hearing, we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that because we're we're starting to take a look
Speaker 1: at it and it looks like it wasn't uh fully
Speaker 1: on the up and up shocking. Uh. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: a possible change of venue for the Choven trial Chaldon
Speaker 1: fucking whatever that guy's name is, the murderer, uh cop trial.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about how board Tucker Carlson is and the
Speaker 1: uh I want to talk about the John Oliver thing
Speaker 1: about him being a white supremacist. And then we'll talk
Speaker 1: about California versus Florida, the aforementioned uh you know comparison
Speaker 1: uh between the two that a lot of anti maskers
Speaker 1: are like Yo, Florida one because they only had eleven
Speaker 1: percent more people die than California on a per capita basis. Uh,
Speaker 1: they're really spiking the football on that ship, which is weird,
Speaker 1: but because they kind of kept things open there, like see,
Speaker 1: this is fine, we we did it better. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about some mitigating factors in that comparison. Uh, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about the doting mother update. Uh, we have a
Speaker 1: couple mothers who really went in all of that plenty more.
Speaker 1: But first we like to ask our guests, Maurice, what
Speaker 1: is something from your search history that is feeling about
Speaker 1: who you are? Are? Well? Yeah, I guess, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of right now, the main thing
Speaker 1: I've been searching for is Atlanta COVID vaccine availability. They've
Speaker 1: just opened it up to larger groups here um in Atlanta,
Speaker 1: which is great. That means I now qualify shoutout to
Speaker 1: Team Chunk. So I qualified now to get the vaccine,
Speaker 1: which is great. Uh, finding a time and a place
Speaker 1: to get it is proving to be very difficult because
Speaker 1: Georgia is the last in the country when it comes
Speaker 1: to vaccine rollout. So they've opened it up to more
Speaker 1: people and have yet made it infinitely harder to get,
Speaker 1: so you're it's sort of like trying to find Beyonce tickets.
Speaker 1: I would suppose it's just not that easy. So I'm
Speaker 1: because at least you can hang out outside the venue
Speaker 1: and just overpaid to get in the show, right, And
Speaker 1: I mean vaccine look, I mean I would imagine people
Speaker 1: are probably doing the same for vaccines, are just hanging
Speaker 1: around like, you know, you got any vaccines at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, you know you got another shot
Speaker 1: left in that bottle, you know, which I've heard some
Speaker 1: people actually are doing. And then of course there's a
Speaker 1: number of people that are just like, yes, I have
Speaker 1: co morbidities and I'm older, and I too will get
Speaker 1: the vaccine, and you know, so just trying to find
Speaker 1: it is tough. I know people who just got it
Speaker 1: within the past week, just waiting around for leftovers, um yeah,
Speaker 1: or calling doing the random you know, pharmacy, foam book
Speaker 1: sweep and just be like you got any and you
Speaker 1: got any ante I've got like five windows open. It's
Speaker 1: like Minority Report. I'm like, let's see CBS got here, Waldraze,
Speaker 1: you got something? Yea expand this one map hants, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a real like kind of head fake they do
Speaker 1: because you become of it, you become qualifying for the vaccine,
Speaker 1: and then it's still just like you just enter a
Speaker 1: new realm of Dante's Circles of Hell, where it's just like,
Speaker 1: now you have to figure out how to navigate this labyrinth, right.
Speaker 1: I wonder when I mean, we're I'm still waiting for
Speaker 1: l A to expand, but it''s gonna take some time
Speaker 1: because there's a lot more people here. But I think,
Speaker 1: like every state, it seems like there are if you
Speaker 1: are unsavory or let's say you lack some moral scruples,
Speaker 1: you're an unscrupulous character, that there are ways to get that. Um.
Speaker 1: And for those people who are acknowledging the disparities that
Speaker 1: exists in the inequity in the country, you're like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not that ain't that's not time for me right now? No, no, no, um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it sucks to hear that. No matter
Speaker 1: what it's for the people that need it, it's still
Speaker 1: very much like a wait and see type thing. Well,
Speaker 1: didn't Biden have the recent sort of talk where he
Speaker 1: mentioned that he would try to make sure that every
Speaker 1: adult would at least have a vaccine by the beginning
Speaker 1: of May or something like that. Yeah, that it would
Speaker 1: be of the doses would be like available enough. But
Speaker 1: then it's the rollout. You know, we'll see ludicrous how
Speaker 1: you roll that out? Got get those in arms? Yeah,
Speaker 1: because like this whole thing is like a hundred million
Speaker 1: shots and a hundred million checks like in pockets. Uh.
Speaker 1: But you know, unless you're over that eighty dollar cliff,
Speaker 1: and then we can talk about how many checks that
Speaker 1: might actually be compared to Trump. But you know, let
Speaker 1: let's move on. Let's Yeah. We talked yesterday about how
Speaker 1: Israel has had some success with their fifty percent of
Speaker 1: their population has it, and mentioned a couple of the
Speaker 1: things that they have gone for them, such as, um
Speaker 1: universal health care and uh this green pass thing that
Speaker 1: basically makes it so you can do stuff once you
Speaker 1: get the vaccine, so people are extra motivated. But uh,
Speaker 1: something we didn't mention that is also a mitigating factor
Speaker 1: is that nat and Yah who is possibly going to jail. Uh,
Speaker 1: and the only way that he's staying out of jail
Speaker 1: is by like staying in his voters good graces. So
Speaker 1: I think that might be something we wanna kind of investigate.
Speaker 1: Is like governors go to prison? Is this net and Yahoo?
Speaker 1: Guy above board? You know, as a guy I'm from Philly,
Speaker 1: you know I don't want like you versions on my character. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm trying to get the vaccine out to avoid
Speaker 1: the clink. But hey, let's let's threaten all politicians who
Speaker 1: are in charge of life and death things with prison.
Speaker 1: See how how much quicker we get those vaccines. They'll
Speaker 1: be knocking on our doors because apparently re election isn't enough.
Speaker 1: So yeah, what how do we raise this? Well, they
Speaker 1: got that locked down, they got that system is fixed. Maurice,
Speaker 1: what is something you think is overrated? Oh? My god? Um,
Speaker 1: the Coming to America sequel. Oh is it bad? It's
Speaker 1: so bad. And the thing about it is that it
Speaker 1: didn't have to be bad, right I think? You know.
Speaker 1: Of course, there's all this stuff about reboots and people
Speaker 1: want to bring back these sort of you know, very
Speaker 1: popular franchises from before, and the movie does some things around. Well,
Speaker 1: let me be completely honest, they do a lot of
Speaker 1: ship around the old movie. It's almost like they had
Speaker 1: an intern right down. Every catchphrase that has caught off
Speaker 1: in the past thirty years and just like through darts
Speaker 1: at a board to figure out where it could go
Speaker 1: into the movie. Off the top of my mind, do
Speaker 1: we get in the face? Uh, something like that chocolate
Speaker 1: yes sexual chocolate day? Yeah, that's literally is there a
Speaker 1: yes too? I mean I think the fact that a
Speaker 1: large part of the premises based on date rape, uh
Speaker 1: rather casually, So I should mention what is a is
Speaker 1: a harbinger for just how oft tone the rest of
Speaker 1: the movie kind of is. It's it's star studded cast.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, what's what's the snipes? Tiana Taylor, anybody?
Speaker 1: I mean? Great cast, horrible plot. Kenya Burrows wrote it,
Speaker 1: So it's coming to America, ish, right, that's what it.
Speaker 1: Part of me like was really, look, I knew it
Speaker 1: came out, but part of me was like, I don't
Speaker 1: want to watch it and it not hit the same
Speaker 1: and me just ruined my weekend. It's not gonna hit
Speaker 1: the same. I don't care how many edibles you take,
Speaker 1: how many joys you smoke, it's not going to hit
Speaker 1: the same. Because the first I say that from personal experience,
Speaker 1: but it's just not going to hit the same. There
Speaker 1: are there are laughs, though I've heard there are laughs
Speaker 1: like that. I mean it's a it's a comedy, so
Speaker 1: ostensibly there are laughs, but actually, yeah, is this okay?
Speaker 1: But is there there there there wrong? There's some people
Speaker 1: that saw it that loved it, I mean suspend disbelief
Speaker 1: and plot holes and flimsy characterization. It's probably a very
Speaker 1: funny movie. I'm not saying you have to go into
Speaker 1: it like thinking about it. But it's also just not
Speaker 1: that good, right, I mean, the original was r This
Speaker 1: is a PG. Thirteen, so that kind of gives you
Speaker 1: a bit of a sense of how toned down some
Speaker 1: things are. It's just not that good. I mean I
Speaker 1: saw like a clip, Yeah, I saw a clip that
Speaker 1: they put on a social of like the barber Shop
Speaker 1: and seeing all those characters come back, and my first
Speaker 1: thought was like, yeah, they're still alive, and also they
Speaker 1: didn't age because they're old. But then you look at
Speaker 1: looking Semi and Keem and you're like, mother's got right,
Speaker 1: and and the barbers are the same age, they're still
Speaker 1: at the same shop. Like gentrification hasn't wiped all of that.
Speaker 1: It's less He's like, my browns don't. And I was
Speaker 1: like Okay, I get it. We get some gentrification humor
Speaker 1: in there, but it's it's not it's not good. It
Speaker 1: is Kane Barris from New York because it's a very
Speaker 1: New York my I don't know the first one at least,
Speaker 1: it was like a very I think, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, man, But they bring back pretty much every
Speaker 1: character except for Lisa's sister and Samuel L. Jackson. Other
Speaker 1: than that, I think every other character from the movie
Speaker 1: is probably in there. I don't think. I don't think
Speaker 1: the deadbeat landlord is in No, he's not in it,
Speaker 1: but no, no, Eric Losal is not in Okay, and
Speaker 1: he made some interview about why he was not going
Speaker 1: to be a part of it or whatever. But it's
Speaker 1: probably for the best given how bad the movie is,
Speaker 1: right right, Yeah, I mean Darryl was like, you know,
Speaker 1: the iconic bad guy, you know, with his soul glow
Speaker 1: and he's getting his Jerry Crawl juice all over the couch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: those those kinds of jokes do not exist in this movie,
Speaker 1: right because those are like super on point that so
Speaker 1: you're saying it kind of just got overly broad or
Speaker 1: something like you just say, they introduced a lot of
Speaker 1: new characters. There is a lot of it was filmed
Speaker 1: I think in Rick Ross's mansion. Um, it's is that
Speaker 1: like a joke. It's not a joke, it's not a
Speaker 1: it's like the literal musician rapper Rick Ross in his mansion,
Speaker 1: like whoa because of like COVID things. No, this was
Speaker 1: this movie was supposed to come out in nineteen. They've
Speaker 1: sat on it for like a whole year. Wow. Man,
Speaker 1: that that is a real bummer to me that Frankie
Speaker 1: Faisan doesn't come back as the deadbeat landlord because real
Speaker 1: like people who really like coming to America, Like those
Speaker 1: are some of those are some of my favorite lines
Speaker 1: where it's like, yeah, it's a real ship, you'll love it.
Speaker 1: And and the reason that I the reason I'm saying
Speaker 1: it's overrated because like I see a lot of promotion
Speaker 1: around and I'm seeing a lot of interviews around it.
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing a lot of good I mean Twitter
Speaker 1: people on Twitter like oh this is hilarious. It's not
Speaker 1: a good movie. Yeah, I mean it seems like everything
Speaker 1: when you even just search review it's universally it's like
Speaker 1: either tepid or they're slamming it. So yeah, lots of
Speaker 1: musical performances for some reason, which are not really I
Speaker 1: mean there are musical performances in the first movie, of course,
Speaker 1: you know she's your going to be all that, you know,
Speaker 1: soul glow theme, of course, But like Gladys Night does
Speaker 1: a rendition of Midnight Trains to Zamunda. That's like, why
Speaker 1: the description, That's the second detail in a row that
Speaker 1: I'm like, why is he making ship up slander? This
Speaker 1: is all made up? And and the thing is like
Speaker 1: the of course, like the Queen to Be song that
Speaker 1: I think, like the Chancellor, one of the consorts sing
Speaker 1: is in the credits. It's not even in the actual movie.
Speaker 1: It's in the credits, sung by John Legend pretty well,
Speaker 1: but it's in the credits. Yeah, it's just not I
Speaker 1: think it's one of the things too, like are we
Speaker 1: like because we were so close to the original thing too?
Speaker 1: Where do you think it will invite a new audience,
Speaker 1: because I know it's I feel like it's I was
Speaker 1: like how I would feel like when the Star Wars
Speaker 1: prequels came on, like they didn't need to funk with
Speaker 1: it like that they has something going. But I just
Speaker 1: think the comedy was perhaps edgier. I think that's true
Speaker 1: of a lot of comedy, like when you go back
Speaker 1: and watch some of the like True Lies is one
Speaker 1: that like when you when you go back and watch that,
Speaker 1: like there's no way they have that build built tax
Speaker 1: and character saying asked like a ten year old boy,
Speaker 1: like in a modern movie like The Get Wet. Yeah
Speaker 1: it's the nineties, man, because it was basically we turned
Speaker 1: up the eighties even hotter, but like did it with
Speaker 1: some like nice sheen and CG effects. Basically yeah, it
Speaker 1: felt like there was more sort of picking at black culture.
Speaker 1: I think a little bit because the dichotomy that's set
Speaker 1: up in Coming to America is like rich affluent Africans
Speaker 1: meet regular people from New York and it's coming to
Speaker 1: America in two America. That's another reason why it's bad.
Speaker 1: Um sort of does this like weird Connecticut Yankee and
Speaker 1: King Arthur's Court kind of thing with with a Keem's
Speaker 1: bastard son. I mean, I'm ruining the plot a little bit,
Speaker 1: but like it's not good. It's just not good. What's
Speaker 1: what's something you think is underrated? Underrated? I mean I
Speaker 1: would say right now, I am really enjoying the current
Speaker 1: season of Queen Sugar. It's it's in season five on
Speaker 1: the own network. Um, really good show that I don't
Speaker 1: think a lot of people know about one because it
Speaker 1: is on this sort of fringe cable channel but created
Speaker 1: an executive produced by Ava Duvernet. Oprah Winfrey is also
Speaker 1: an executive producer. It's just a really really good dramatic series.
Speaker 1: It it follows this generations of this family on the
Speaker 1: sugarcane farm in Louisiana and season five right now they're
Speaker 1: sort of going through the the COVID storyline. But it's
Speaker 1: not like how you've seen the sort of Hollywood squares
Speaker 1: ification of other shows and movies where it comes to
Speaker 1: depicting time during COVID. They do it in a much
Speaker 1: it's it's so good. They do it in a really
Speaker 1: realistic and honest way. It's heartfelt. Um, it's just really
Speaker 1: really good. And I know a lot of people probably
Speaker 1: aren't checking out because I'm not sure what other streaming
Speaker 1: services it might be on, Like it might be on Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's probably on Hulu. So people want to check it
Speaker 1: out from the first season, Uh, certainly do so because
Speaker 1: they do carry over some things from season to season.
Speaker 1: But I say it's underrated because it rarely gets reviewed.
Speaker 1: You certainly don't hear about it and like Emmy nomination
Speaker 1: runs or something like that. But it's a really good
Speaker 1: show that feels like one that if it came out
Speaker 1: on Netflix, it would like blow up absolutely because you're
Speaker 1: captive and people actually related somewhat related to that. Another
Speaker 1: show that was on Netflix that is on and I'm
Speaker 1: sorry that was on Own that is on Netflix now,
Speaker 1: green Leaf, really good show. It's it follows like a
Speaker 1: black megachurch family, so that probably will turn some people
Speaker 1: off just just off of that concept. But how many seasons,
Speaker 1: five seasons? Really great show, really great show, Lynn Whitfield,
Speaker 1: Keith David, It's so good. Yeah, I mean Ship the
Speaker 1: Righteous Gemstones. We always talk about that show on this
Speaker 1: on this podcast. So yeah, if you I think anything,
Speaker 1: if you've been to a church, like I'm always interested
Speaker 1: to see like dramatized church narratives because I've seen it
Speaker 1: from nearly every angle at this point, but like I
Speaker 1: mean in real life, but to see the descripted version
Speaker 1: that is always intrigues me. Hell yeah, and it's good
Speaker 1: without being like super churchy. You know is Keith David,
Speaker 1: what's his character? Like, he's the pastor, He's like the
Speaker 1: pastor green Leaf, He's the list is easier a man
Speaker 1: of honor? Is he kind of us? Yeah? Kind of
Speaker 1: man of honor. Lynn Whitfield plays his wife. So if
Speaker 1: you've seen a thin line between love and hate from
Speaker 1: the nineties, just imagine that turned up to like twenty
Speaker 1: you know, like Lynn is like the the sultry but
Speaker 1: shady matriarch of the family May green Leaf, She's well,
Speaker 1: she's got her secrets. And then Keith David, like the pastor,
Speaker 1: has his secrets. And then there's their children to their
Speaker 1: children have secrets. It's it's really good secret fest. Okay,
Speaker 1: I like yeah Rick foxox Rick Fox, Yeah yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: always like Rick Fox cameo or appearance. All right, we're
Speaker 1: gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back to
Speaker 1: Talk News and we're back and get ready for a
Speaker 1: blast from the past. Guys, remember that fun period where
Speaker 1: uh Brett Kavanaugh was being uh his confirmation was being
Speaker 1: challenged and just we all went through it for like
Speaker 1: a week, week and a half month. Dr Christine and
Speaker 1: Blaisie Ford's like has been going through it ever since.
Speaker 1: But so one of the things that I think we
Speaker 1: were all suspicious of at the time was that they
Speaker 1: unleashed this FBI investigation into her allegations, and they were
Speaker 1: just like, all good, let's let's move it forward. Nothing
Speaker 1: to see here, And you're like, what, there's like nine
Speaker 1: classmates signed to a letter being like, let's do this
Speaker 1: trash right, like and your FBI, the FB but you
Speaker 1: but y'all are really good at framing people of color
Speaker 1: who just want equital But okay, so let me just
Speaker 1: go down here. So Sheldon white House is a center
Speaker 1: on the Judiciary Committee. He wrote this letter that is
Speaker 1: essentially saying, yo, that fucking investigation was fake. He says fake.
Speaker 1: He says, quote the the investigation quote appears to have
Speaker 1: been a politically constrained and perhaps fake process. In the letter,
Speaker 1: he says quote in this matter, the shutters were closed,
Speaker 1: the bridge drawn up, and there was no point of
Speaker 1: entry by which members of the public or Congress could
Speaker 1: provide information to the FBI. He allows that the agency
Speaker 1: refused to hear testimony from witnesses, ignored members who inquired
Speaker 1: on behalf of witnesses, and criticize the agency's use of
Speaker 1: quote a tipline that was meant to accept allegations. This
Speaker 1: tip line quote appears to have operated more like a
Speaker 1: garbage shoot, with everything that came down the shoot consigned
Speaker 1: without review to the figurative dumpster. So he will now
Speaker 1: be asking a g Merrick Garland, who famously got his
Speaker 1: Supreme Court robe to is tossed in the fucking trash,
Speaker 1: to look into how this unfolded. But yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: the whole problem, the whole confirmation hearing was just fucked up,
Speaker 1: gross and traumatic and just nobody wanted anything to do
Speaker 1: with it. Diane Feinstein was like the beginnings of us
Speaker 1: seeing like what is she doing up there? Knows exactly
Speaker 1: what she's doing. Yeah, But to hear this now, it's like, well, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be like a thing that
Speaker 1: will always every month we're getting here, Like remember that
Speaker 1: thing from four from the four years of bullshit? Uh,
Speaker 1: that was also trash. It's gonna be more stuff that
Speaker 1: has come out from the past administration that were like
Speaker 1: remember when they said that, yeah that didn't happen, or
Speaker 1: no that's fake, or you know, actually we didn't have
Speaker 1: a plan. It was all blank paper in those binders,
Speaker 1: you know, go to Staples, get a bunch of sheafs
Speaker 1: of blank, kind of crumple up the top pages. So
Speaker 1: um that I feel like they might have gotten away
Speaker 1: with this because there was still the Mueller investigation going on,
Speaker 1: and people like in the mainstream press still wanted to
Speaker 1: like believe that the FBI was there, buddy, And so
Speaker 1: I don't know like that, I think that people were
Speaker 1: just like kind of put in a weird position. They
Speaker 1: were still counting on the Mueller investigation and the FBI
Speaker 1: to be like the resistance, right, that was probably definitely misplaced.
Speaker 1: The other things with kav and I was remembered all
Speaker 1: those fucking Washington Senators baseball tickets and ship and they
Speaker 1: were like we paid for those, and he's like, oh, somebody,
Speaker 1: like what, FBI, go go on now fucking dig up
Speaker 1: the receipts. And also even like people were, you know,
Speaker 1: casting doubts over even when Justice Kennedy announced his retirement,
Speaker 1: like what was going on there? This seemed like, you know,
Speaker 1: there's just a lot of the I mean, I remember
Speaker 1: the second my phone it up to Justice announced his retirement.
Speaker 1: I was in Denmark and I was just like my
Speaker 1: day is I don't know what to do. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: are things looking like in terms of the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: at the moment, Like, aren't there's justices who we're looking
Speaker 1: to uh step down fairly soon, right because of their
Speaker 1: old age and we need to get some new Yeah,
Speaker 1: new blood on the court next to step down? Is
Speaker 1: it Thomas? Well, Thomas would be ideal, but I doubt that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no single conservative that would do it. Although, like word
Speaker 1: was Thomas was thinking about stepping down before, but um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the least he could do, right,
Speaker 1: like literally literally the least does it? Fun off from
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court? Man, All right, let's talk about the
Speaker 1: Derrick Chovin trial. His attorneys one, a change of venue
Speaker 1: since the city settled with George Floyd's family. Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: they're saying, what that this is like a sign that
Speaker 1: the city is already like made up its mind. I mean,
Speaker 1: Essense's like, well, how can I get a fair trial
Speaker 1: when the city council has already blah blah blah, Like
Speaker 1: because I think the city council was able to acknowledge
Speaker 1: how horrific that video was and was like, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: sorry that the police of this city took your family
Speaker 1: member's life. Legally, that will be sorted in this trial.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he thinks it will. His lawyers think it's
Speaker 1: just gonna it's just gonna be harder for my client
Speaker 1: to get away with murder. Guys, if he's in the
Speaker 1: same city. What does the change of venue even really solved.
Speaker 1: I mean, the case will still go on, right because
Speaker 1: it's in the city that had a settlement there for
Speaker 1: like the news it's it's really it's kind of an
Speaker 1: odd argument um and you know, his like the prosecution
Speaker 1: was like, okay, like I kind of get what you're saying,
Speaker 1: but that's really not a reason to stop everything because
Speaker 1: they wanted to pause proceedings and a venue change. And
Speaker 1: when the prosecutor said Schliker, he said, quote, all I
Speaker 1: can say of the court is there are some things
Speaker 1: the State of Minnesota and this prosecution team can control,
Speaker 1: and there are some things that cannot control. We cannot
Speaker 1: control the civil aspect of the case. We cannot we
Speaker 1: cannot and do not control the Minneapolis City Council, and
Speaker 1: we certainly cannot and do not control the news cycle.
Speaker 1: And so the judge was like, Okay, well, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's your your point about like the settlement, maybe messing
Speaker 1: things up is legitimate. But they kept on with the
Speaker 1: jury selection, and he said, will consider the venue change.
Speaker 1: But if they change venues, like, would that change the jury?
Speaker 1: Would they have to them like select a new jury
Speaker 1: from the population of wherever they change it. I imagine
Speaker 1: if it's being impaneled in the county, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, like that they would want it in a
Speaker 1: different county there for different people, you know, because that's
Speaker 1: the whole idea is like, well, in that area where
Speaker 1: the murder happened, people are too aware of the case
Speaker 1: to be so you want people who are ignorant. It's
Speaker 1: just so it's just so fucked up. And like even
Speaker 1: when we were talking about the surveys potential jurors had
Speaker 1: to fill out, You're like, this is here, what here
Speaker 1: this ship goes? I mean, it's still all feels very
Speaker 1: like suspect in a way. I mean, like you said,
Speaker 1: if they're changing the venue to try to, you know,
Speaker 1: appeal to a populace that may not know that much
Speaker 1: about the case, it almost feels like they know what
Speaker 1: the outcome will be, not just the outcome of the case,
Speaker 1: but that there will be subsequent protests, and so maybe
Speaker 1: if they move it out of the city, then people
Speaker 1: won't protest in the city, they'll protest somewhere that's not
Speaker 1: gonna happen. So that's not gonna happen every it'll be everywhere. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it all. It all feels just I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: a distraction. I think that's what it is. So we'll
Speaker 1: see sort of what happens. But it doesn't feel right.
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel right. No, nothing ever feels right when
Speaker 1: I mean, especially when as it relates to over policing
Speaker 1: and the you know, murder murders of unarmed black people
Speaker 1: by police. But when you start looking at something like
Speaker 1: this that was just so abundantly clear, like you don't
Speaker 1: that's what makes it so offensive, Like it was unfortunate
Speaker 1: that that graphic video was the thing that a large
Speaker 1: number of people in the country had to see to
Speaker 1: fucking figure ship out suddenly. Um, And that's still with
Speaker 1: that knowing all of that, this idea that's like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, we don't want people that are are gonna
Speaker 1: you know, understand what justice is as it relates to policing,
Speaker 1: because that's like a dimension of the case. We're trying
Speaker 1: to remove it just be like yo did his is
Speaker 1: his knee evil? Like I don't know what the argument
Speaker 1: is going to be. And that's what's so fucked up
Speaker 1: is that to everybody, it's so clear, But they're all
Speaker 1: these ways to try and you know, skirt justice. And
Speaker 1: that's the theme of this nation at the moment, Like
Speaker 1: who is who doesn't already have their mind made up
Speaker 1: on this? If you don't already have your mind made
Speaker 1: up from watching the video which everybody is seeing, then
Speaker 1: you are by definition biased against justice here, Like it's
Speaker 1: impossible for somebody to watch that, watch somebody commit murder
Speaker 1: on video like from beginning to end and not feel outrage.
Speaker 1: So I mean, you're on or how can we have
Speaker 1: a fair trial if a majority, if not ten out
Speaker 1: of the twelve jurors are sympathetic towards racially motivated police violence.
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, your honor, that we can't this, This
Speaker 1: is not going to be fair. We need people who
Speaker 1: are on this firmly on the side of white supremacy
Speaker 1: to adjudicate this case. Therefore, we can let it rock
Speaker 1: you know for centuries. I don't know it worries me
Speaker 1: that the prosecutor is even giving this ground, is even
Speaker 1: seeding the well, I can't control the city council, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It feels like he should just be saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: well the city council is doing that because it's obvious
Speaker 1: and an open and shut case and like it's impossible
Speaker 1: not to come to this conclusion. But that's turn up
Speaker 1: court Jack where guy, everybody saw that video. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: hold on, this isn't the time to do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd be a bad lawyer. Let's talk about Tugger Carlson. Uh,
Speaker 1: white supremacists recently outed. Yeahl me shocked. Um there anyone
Speaker 1: who has never seen anything he said his whole career.
Speaker 1: But you know, he's this On one he was bashing
Speaker 1: women in the military and then got verbally stomped out
Speaker 1: by the military and Ted Cruz like, don't treat him
Speaker 1: like that, Like it's just another sad back and forth. Um,
Speaker 1: But this time he's just really he's pretending that he's
Speaker 1: now horny as fuck for the web video. Um, and
Speaker 1: he's just he's just going full throttle on this one now.
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure why this is, Like you know,
Speaker 1: the cancel culture thing is back up again, probably because
Speaker 1: you know that it's it's hard to poke holes, and
Speaker 1: maybe some of the policy things Biden's doing, considering like
Speaker 1: how it's pulling even with Republicans, like the like the
Speaker 1: relief measures and things like that. Or maybe it's because
Speaker 1: you don't want to talk about Trump's case in Georgia
Speaker 1: kind of getting more severe by the day, or Trump's
Speaker 1: you know, CFOs acts, daughter in laws apparently cooperating with
Speaker 1: prosecutors in New York. But there's many things I don't know.
Speaker 1: But the whole thing here is rather than pointing to like,
Speaker 1: you know, racism and greed from a runaway capitalist system
Speaker 1: and what that's done to the country, they've chosen to
Speaker 1: point to Cardi b and Megan the Stallion as indicators
Speaker 1: of societal collapse, y'all. And who better than Candice Owens
Speaker 1: to come on because that's how her crosses. See. He
Speaker 1: wise up. He's like, see, I can't have white people
Speaker 1: attacking black women, but I could have my black woman
Speaker 1: attack uh, these other black women to avoid any accusations
Speaker 1: of impropriety. So he had her on and she starts
Speaker 1: off her whole sermon with a just a cancel culture
Speaker 1: in Memoriam and the host of Candice. She joins, us,
Speaker 1: I can so, thanks so much for coming on. It's
Speaker 1: it's hard not to conclude their intentionally trying to degrade
Speaker 1: our culture and hurt our children. That's a strong set up. Okay,
Speaker 1: I let please go on, Candice, Professor Owens rather, I
Speaker 1: mean absolutely, Tucker, I mean Dr Seuss gone. Mr Potato
Speaker 1: had problematic, not enough genders available. We've seen going through
Speaker 1: the supermarket as a traumatizing experience. We lost on Jemima
Speaker 1: last year, we lost Lando Lakes butter last year, we
Speaker 1: lost Uncle Ben and his Rice last year. Because everything
Speaker 1: is so traumatizing for children to look at. But this,
Speaker 1: this spectacle, virtually what we were looking at last night
Speaker 1: was a lesbian sex scene being simulated on television. And
Speaker 1: this is considered feminist. So that's a good momentum. I mean,
Speaker 1: pour one out for all the racist caricatures, y'all. So meanwhile,
Speaker 1: when the thing is as she's talking, they're looping the
Speaker 1: same thing over and over again of them, like when
Speaker 1: it looked like they were scissoring and stuff. That's like
Speaker 1: the clip they have just on loop on the side
Speaker 1: where it's like, is it that it's that offensive that
Speaker 1: you have it on loop? M hmm, okay, potatoes don't
Speaker 1: even have a gender. What is she talking about? I mean,
Speaker 1: I know the whole Mr. Potato Head toy, but like
Speaker 1: there's a lot, there's a lot of heavy lifting. Try
Speaker 1: to link those things together. It just sounds hard when
Speaker 1: you said, like, there's no way you can say we
Speaker 1: we lost Aunt Jemima last year. You know, we lost
Speaker 1: Uncle Ben last year. What if that sounds like a
Speaker 1: Chappelle show sketch, Like a line from a Chapelle's show
Speaker 1: sketch that would, yeah, exactly like racist caricature, you know,
Speaker 1: fucking graveyard like Uncle Ben. I thought you'd be your
Speaker 1: way sooner. It's like, no, there's not some bullshit down there.
Speaker 1: Um So then Candice Owens, I just want to go
Speaker 1: on this other thing about how this is pointing to,
Speaker 1: you know, the end of America for academics anymore. In school, right,
Speaker 1: forget about mathematics and science. You can trust the science
Speaker 1: and trust Dr Fauci, But you have these kids learning
Speaker 1: about critical race theory. They're learning that they should aspire
Speaker 1: to people like Cardi b that you you see that fundamentally,
Speaker 1: we are seeing the destruction of American values, American principles,
Speaker 1: and it's terrifying. I think parents should be terrified that
Speaker 1: this is the direction that our society is headed towards.
Speaker 1: And again, we are weakening America. That's that's really what
Speaker 1: we should be talking about. This is a weakening of
Speaker 1: American society. We are setting the stage. It feels like
Speaker 1: we are looking at corrosion, like we are about to
Speaker 1: see the end of an empire. I mean, that's true,
Speaker 1: that's true, but not for any of the reasons. You
Speaker 1: just has nothing to do with these two queens doing
Speaker 1: their fucking thing on stage and just putting on a
Speaker 1: great show. It's not that's not what the corrosion is.
Speaker 1: You are the corrosion. The show you are on is
Speaker 1: the fucking corrosion degreed that this country just accepts without
Speaker 1: really questioning and wanting better outcomes for each other in
Speaker 1: our communities. That's the fall of the empire, not these people.
Speaker 1: But you know, but do go on, professor. Yeah, It's
Speaker 1: also just interesting that this starts from a assumption that
Speaker 1: we are a mono culture where everybody is watching the
Speaker 1: same things, and not like that they went and got
Speaker 1: that too, who put it in front of their viewers
Speaker 1: who they know did not watch the wop the like
Speaker 1: performance from the they did. They're all lying the same ship.
Speaker 1: There was some state legislator in Texas or something who
Speaker 1: voted on an anti trans bill for like kids to compete,
Speaker 1: and then they caught him looking at transgender porn computer.
Speaker 1: There's a there's a duplicit, it said. But that's just
Speaker 1: what all this two faced shit is, you know, all
Speaker 1: the time. It's just disgusting when it's like they you know,
Speaker 1: that's flimsy as fuck, you know, if you're smart enough.
Speaker 1: But but this is the pattern you're caught up in
Speaker 1: with your audience of just being like parents should be alarmed, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: and when has that line worked? Like on the news last?
Speaker 1: Parents need to be prepared for this what's happening now?
Speaker 1: I mean only on Fox, probably only on some Fox
Speaker 1: show or Info Wars or some ship like that. Part
Speaker 1: of me hopes they keep going down this path because
Speaker 1: I don't think people like I think people are smart
Speaker 1: enough to realize that this is bullshit. Um, and like,
Speaker 1: at least when it comes to voting, will not vote
Speaker 1: for like anti canceling Dr SEUSA agenda. Yeah, hey, just
Speaker 1: wait till those mid terms. I'm sure we'll see some
Speaker 1: weird ads Like I went to bat for Aunt Jemima,
Speaker 1: I went to bat for Uncle Ben. I went to
Speaker 1: fucking bat Dr Susane. What they're like, yo, the unemployment
Speaker 1: rate is out of fucking control of your district. Did
Speaker 1: you guys watch the John Oliver thing on on Tucker
Speaker 1: Carlson being a white supremacist. Yeah, I saw that. It
Speaker 1: was like it was good. They definitely like dug up
Speaker 1: some old clips that I had not seen before. Um
Speaker 1: one thing that I was waiting for them to bring
Speaker 1: up that we we had covered before, but just on
Speaker 1: this show, on this on this show. It was not
Speaker 1: on HBO, but you know, yeah, somebody needs to recommend
Speaker 1: that John Alli or listen to the Daily Zeitgeist we
Speaker 1: covered in Nane Daniel Bryant, look him up, hook him
Speaker 1: up with uh now. But this the story about Blake Neff,
Speaker 1: who was his head writer, I think is just I mean,
Speaker 1: they do a good enough job of just showing like
Speaker 1: how he will say something and then it will trickle
Speaker 1: down to like openly white supremacist groups and like David
Speaker 1: Duke will just David Duke's podcast is just recaps of
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson and talking about like how good Tucker Carlson
Speaker 1: is at putting their hateful beliefs into non offensive language
Speaker 1: or language racialis, yeah, exactly, but this I don't know that.
Speaker 1: So this they found that his head writer of the
Speaker 1: past four and five years or four to five years,
Speaker 1: had like they just found him posting anonymously on this
Speaker 1: racist forum, and it's just I don't know, it's like
Speaker 1: the most the smoking ist gun like I've ever seen
Speaker 1: where this person was posting things that you would then
Speaker 1: see in the Tucker Carlson show, Like there was bleed
Speaker 1: between like the things he was posting, but he was
Speaker 1: posting it in threads that had you know, just like
Speaker 1: straight up racist like wild ship like written in the
Speaker 1: title of the thread. Uh. CNN outed the author as
Speaker 1: they were like, hey, this you to Fox News and
Speaker 1: asked him for his comment on a Thursday night, and uh,
Speaker 1: Fox News announced his resignation Friday morning. So like they
Speaker 1: know what they're doing. Yeah, they know exactly what they're doing.
Speaker 1: They know that they got caught. And he also like
Speaker 1: basically engineered harassment campaigns against women who he was friends
Speaker 1: with on Facebook, who he was mad at for writing
Speaker 1: about their love lives, and one for freezing her eggs,
Speaker 1: just committing the sin of, you know, exercising reproductive autonomy. Uh,
Speaker 1: and yeah, I don't know. It's just it's yet another
Speaker 1: example of like this dude's a racist. The people who
Speaker 1: write what he says on his like the the guy
Speaker 1: Blake nep was like, uh, interviewed for Dartmouth, shout out
Speaker 1: to Dartmouth, great, great alumni, you've you've produced there, But
Speaker 1: in the Dartmouth Alumni Review, Uh, he was like, anything
Speaker 1: that Tucker reads off of the off the teleprompter came
Speaker 1: from a first draft that I wrote. And that's this
Speaker 1: dude is a straight up avowed white supremacist, racist misogynists.
Speaker 1: That's just so even wild about Like the the news
Speaker 1: of like the headlines whe they're like John Oliver like
Speaker 1: out Tucker Carlson as white supremacists, and it's and I
Speaker 1: and I get that, like a function of that is
Speaker 1: great because it's a very easy to follow main story
Speaker 1: that inspires critical thought and analysis, and it does put
Speaker 1: it out there for people. What scares me is that,
Speaker 1: like many people before this have always been like, this
Speaker 1: is so fucked up and bad. Yet we're still at
Speaker 1: that point where you can look a white supremacist Nazi
Speaker 1: in their eye on the TV screen, but network still
Speaker 1: can't get shipped to move. There's still no there's still
Speaker 1: no way to figure this out. And I think the
Speaker 1: closest thing has been this campaign to de fox your
Speaker 1: cable um and trying to pressure the cable uh networks
Speaker 1: or the cable providers to not you know, subsidize because
Speaker 1: we all pay like a Fox News tax essentially if
Speaker 1: you subscribed to any cable, not more than that. This
Speaker 1: guy nef was also he was also supporting like war
Speaker 1: game exercises at the Marine Corps War College, So he's
Speaker 1: also with these crazy white supremacist views influencing future miller
Speaker 1: terry members your war gaming exercises. He had been a
Speaker 1: war gaming subject matter expert since for the college and
Speaker 1: it was only after all this came out and he
Speaker 1: you know, ended up leaving Tucker Carlson Show that the
Speaker 1: Marines were like, you know what, we're cutting ties with
Speaker 1: this guy, Like, oh, now you want to cut ties
Speaker 1: with it, Well, that's that's our policy. Once you're sloppy
Speaker 1: with it, and you with your racism, then we gotta
Speaker 1: cut ties. If you can keep it low, then you
Speaker 1: can say the studies of like the just amount of
Speaker 1: open with supremacists in the military in the capitol. Do
Speaker 1: you see the Capital police thing? Recently one of the
Speaker 1: the Capitol police officers had a copy of the Protocols
Speaker 1: of the Elders of Zion out in the open. I'll
Speaker 1: come on, man, I mean, that's that's just a good open.
Speaker 1: This is Russian manufactured anti Semitic conspiratorial material that's like
Speaker 1: the foundation of so much of modern anti Semitism. There's
Speaker 1: a Capital police officer with that ship out in the
Speaker 1: desk that a Congressional staffer saw it and was like, Uh,
Speaker 1: what the funk is this? The people that are secured well,
Speaker 1: I mean we knew that too. The people that are
Speaker 1: securing this building are also in on it. Okay, they
Speaker 1: were taking fucking selfies. Yeah, I mean, it's just like
Speaker 1: but it's but it's that, it's that just it's just
Speaker 1: that out in the open, you know, where like people
Speaker 1: are having to see that, and that sucks for people
Speaker 1: like to already work in that that place, to be
Speaker 1: there on the sixth and then be like, like the
Speaker 1: and the stafford was Jewish. He was like, what the
Speaker 1: funk is this? Like I'm supposed to trust these people? Right?
Speaker 1: Also Blake nef Just, I found it noteworthy that this dude,
Speaker 1: like he graduated college in like twenty thirteen, he like
Speaker 1: had all the success in his twenties. So just anybody
Speaker 1: who like they are just dying for any like writing
Speaker 1: talent who will who also is a Nazi like they
Speaker 1: they are so hungry for that. So anybody who's like
Speaker 1: who doesn't believe that that's like the easy way that
Speaker 1: people go in entertainment, Like that's you. You just just
Speaker 1: google a picture of this dude. It's it's pretty amazing.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back and really quickly. There is a new
Speaker 1: anti masker talking point I want to hit real quick.
Speaker 1: They're basically saying, well, look, Florida basically had like the
Speaker 1: same spread rate as California. Again, Florida had eleven percent
Speaker 1: higher death rate per capita, but they they are bragging
Speaker 1: about that because Florida did not shut down as much.
Speaker 1: They I think they're unemployment went up like five percentage
Speaker 1: points in California's went up nine. So they're like, ha ha,
Speaker 1: we never we still have our lives, you guys. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, they're basically making the point metric. Yeah. Like
Speaker 1: even some scientists are like, so California is like system
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily clearly the winner here, but other scientists are
Speaker 1: saying that you have to like take into account a
Speaker 1: couple of mitigating factors. California population centers are much denser,
Speaker 1: has more high occupation homes uh than Florida. The like,
Speaker 1: like we mentioned up top, the humidity of the air.
Speaker 1: I feel like we're like we we talked about a
Speaker 1: graph that showed that like temperature is like directly related
Speaker 1: to how fast the disease spreads, and another thing that
Speaker 1: it like the hotter and wetter the environment as the
Speaker 1: less its spreads. So that obviously makes Florida a better
Speaker 1: place for just COVID statistics in general. Uh. They point
Speaker 1: out that Arizona is more similar to California, both in
Speaker 1: terms of demographics and climate, and they had Florida like restrictions,
Speaker 1: like much looser restrictions than they had the fifth highest
Speaker 1: death rate in the country. Um, so, I don't know
Speaker 1: just like anything where people are like acting like well,
Speaker 1: the precautions that we that scientifically must have helped don't
Speaker 1: actually help. I think you have to take with a
Speaker 1: grain of salt and wait for people to learn more.
Speaker 1: Like the second somebody with no mask on it's trying
Speaker 1: to tell me about mask anything, I'm like, are you
Speaker 1: a fucking epidemiologist? Then shut the funk up, especially a
Speaker 1: year into this. I don't know if you all saw this. Uh,
Speaker 1: this was a video where this guy was with his
Speaker 1: kids at Trader Joe's and he basically like strong arms
Speaker 1: his way into the store, speaking some mix of English
Speaker 1: and and talking about why you know, you guys are
Speaker 1: still acting like this. I'm here with with with my
Speaker 1: my children. Uh less en phone um in the store.
Speaker 1: And I can't believe that you all really believe all
Speaker 1: of this about COVID. We have been a year into
Speaker 1: this whole Panda express, right, Like, why are people still
Speaker 1: acting like this around mask? It's ridiculous. I remember last
Speaker 1: year it being sort of a talking point around temperature
Speaker 1: and the coronavirus, like saying some things yeah, and I
Speaker 1: distinctly remember Trump saying it about oh, well, you know,
Speaker 1: it's gonna get warmer, and so it won't move as
Speaker 1: fast because it will be the summer. Clearly that was
Speaker 1: not the case. Yeah. Now it definitely it has an impact,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't have such an impact that you can
Speaker 1: do all the wrong things and expected to go away
Speaker 1: like he did. Um, well, that's a negative frame of mind, Jack.
Speaker 1: We're never gonna get out of pandemic with that kind
Speaker 1: of thinking. Yeah. I mean, my theory has always been
Speaker 1: that it's all fear based, and coronavirus comes from fear,
Speaker 1: and it's an exercise and confidence, y'all. God uh, And
Speaker 1: that's why Trump almost died despite being the most another
Speaker 1: story really that kind of went out like a slight dribble.
Speaker 1: They're like, yo, he almost died when people don't but
Speaker 1: and then he think he's denyed, didn't deny he got
Speaker 1: the vaccine. When he got the vaccine, Yes, so you
Speaker 1: know what this is? Huh? What man? But whatever? Like
Speaker 1: infusion of teenager's blood that they gave him to just
Speaker 1: get him right back after he was like on deb
Speaker 1: chrome adrene of chrome Yeah, I mean, yeah, if if
Speaker 1: we're keeping with the pattern of everything they accused the
Speaker 1: other side of they're actually doing then, Yeah, Adrene of Chrome,
Speaker 1: the cube conspiracy that all Hollywood elites are just like vampires,
Speaker 1: milking like young people for their adrene of chrome. Like
Speaker 1: I guess we gotta look into that. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: let talk about motherly love you guys. Um there's a
Speaker 1: couple doting mother updates that we wanted to check in on.
Speaker 1: These are such one mom drama kind of things, but
Speaker 1: they're so amazing because, like, as both of these stories
Speaker 1: are gonna go through, they make me realize how old
Speaker 1: I am too, and like what I thought was a
Speaker 1: scam and what wasn't. So we'll go from severe to
Speaker 1: more severe. The first one is a mother and daughter
Speaker 1: duel in Florida. They were arrested for fraudulently accessing confidential
Speaker 1: student information. So you say, what's that? Okay, So this
Speaker 1: Tate High School, there's there were two thousand students and
Speaker 1: on the October twenty eight of last year, they were told, hey,
Speaker 1: go to this program election Runner, and you can go
Speaker 1: cast your vote for the students that you want to
Speaker 1: be like in the homecoming court. And this is like
Speaker 1: what you need to do to vote was put their
Speaker 1: school I D numbers and their birthday. This woman's daughter
Speaker 1: was crowned queen on October thirty one, you know, beautiful
Speaker 1: home timing ceremonies. She had the roses and everything. But
Speaker 1: then a few days later the program elect election runner
Speaker 1: hit the school up and said there were dozens of
Speaker 1: votes that have been flagged as fraudulent. Approximately one d
Speaker 1: seventeen votes originated from the same Internet Protocol or i
Speaker 1: P address within a short period of time. Then there
Speaker 1: was an investigation the FEDS or the what is it
Speaker 1: the Federal Bureau of Law Enforcement or whatever they called
Speaker 1: FDL or something. They looked into it. They found that
Speaker 1: it was all coming from this mom's cell phone and computer,
Speaker 1: and they said, what the fund is going on? So
Speaker 1: it turns out she didn't even use the VPN. No
Speaker 1: we advertise on here. We had we do do you
Speaker 1: You could get it Norton or Express however you want it, baby,
Speaker 1: but you can protect your ass when you're trying to
Speaker 1: ride or die for your daughter. And this whole thing
Speaker 1: is wild because the mother was a faculty member, like
Speaker 1: within the school district, so she had access to this
Speaker 1: larger program, like this organizational informational infrastructure program that you
Speaker 1: could summon up these records grades, medical records, funk around
Speaker 1: with the fucking votes and ship and this and this.
Speaker 1: This is the other thing is too, they said. Around
Speaker 1: the same time of the investigation, quote, the school student
Speaker 1: council coordinator learned that the student was telling people she
Speaker 1: quote utilized her mother's account to cast votes. She's she
Speaker 1: was sloppy with it, very sloppy. I mean, the whole
Speaker 1: thing about multiple voting from one device is like some
Speaker 1: American idol type of ship. That's that's so ridiculous, Michael
Speaker 1: Cohene type of ship. He got caught voting for himself
Speaker 1: as like, uh, what was it? It was? It was
Speaker 1: like some like handsomeness pull or something. No, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think he had his own Twitter account where he was like, Yo,
Speaker 1: how hot is Michael Cohen y'all or something like that,
Speaker 1: and it's like ended making your own yeah, and student
Speaker 1: was caught. Yeah, he was caught juice in the vote
Speaker 1: for himself. But this ship apparently has happened before, like
Speaker 1: in this Washington Post article. They say in seventeen, faculty
Speaker 1: member at a southern California high schore resigned after allegedly
Speaker 1: rigging student government contest. In twenty nineteen, a high school
Speaker 1: or running for class president in Berkeley hacked into the
Speaker 1: phone email accounts to cast hundreds of folks for himself.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is like century ship. Like I remember
Speaker 1: when marking your Scantron answer sheet as the answer key
Speaker 1: was the most high stake scam you could pull. Like academically,
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, I'm going for it. When they run
Speaker 1: my ship, They're gonna say that's the answer key, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get when when I was when I was
Speaker 1: in college, we used to print uh, barcodes on like
Speaker 1: plastic transparency tape and used that to like sneak into
Speaker 1: the calf. Like that's high tech kind of scams. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is this is some other ship. And like for me,
Speaker 1: this is interesting because like I I ran an award
Speaker 1: show for several years from two thousand four. So this
Speaker 1: kind of like multiple vote thing is one very easy
Speaker 1: to fix, Like it's a it's almost a mandatory security protocol.
Speaker 1: So the fact that this uh what's it called election runner,
Speaker 1: the fact that the software was so basic that they
Speaker 1: didn't catch that to me, just feel sloppy on on
Speaker 1: their end. But the fact that the mom's like yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna keep voting and going to like I
Speaker 1: don't know, I could imagine her driving around town, connecting
Speaker 1: to different WiFi spots voting. Okay, let's go to the Windys.
Speaker 1: You sit in the park a lot and do it.
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, but she messed that up. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so they both got arrested. Is a crime. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: didn't think they would lock these people, but yeah, she
Speaker 1: the mom had to post bond. The daughter went to juvie.
Speaker 1: And it's because of like security, right, like they were
Speaker 1: accessing the charge was fraudulently accessing confidential student information. Like
Speaker 1: it's this thing that they were getting into that the
Speaker 1: faculty had access to. Just it had oodles of sensitive
Speaker 1: information like all that ship. So also the sheriff's daughter
Speaker 1: was the runner up, so that uh something right, and
Speaker 1: then there's an okay, So then there's another one, this mom,
Speaker 1: which this is a this is dark um, but it
Speaker 1: was also kind of a matter of time. Yeah, two
Speaker 1: deep fixed. So raphaela spone who is fifty. Uh, last
Speaker 1: year she decided to go on a digital harassment campaign
Speaker 1: of her daughter's cheerleading rivals. So it says the affidavit
Speaker 1: says Spoon last year created the doctored images of at
Speaker 1: least three members of the Victory Vipers of Traveling cheerleading squad. Uh.
Speaker 1: There was no indication that her high school aged daughter,
Speaker 1: who was not public identified, knew that her mother was
Speaker 1: doing it, according to court records. So what they did was,
Speaker 1: after analyzing the videos, detectives determined they were quote deep
Speaker 1: fakes created by mapping the girls social media photos onto
Speaker 1: other images, so they were making them look like they
Speaker 1: were vaping or doing like wild ship, like you know,
Speaker 1: kids shouldn't be doing. Detectives trace the phone numbers to
Speaker 1: a website specializing in selling to telemarketers and followed the
Speaker 1: data to an IP address that showed activity from within
Speaker 1: Spone's house. Um, and after searching her smartphone, they found
Speaker 1: the evidence leaking her to the numbers used to send
Speaker 1: the harassing texts and images. UM. It's is wild because
Speaker 1: when we were first hearing about deep fix hitting the mainstream,
Speaker 1: like around seventeen, we were like, this is gonna get
Speaker 1: fucking bad. You can really upend people's reality. I mean
Speaker 1: the tom Cruise ship that went viral last week, that
Speaker 1: was slick. I mean you have to I mean most
Speaker 1: people if you really look like, Okay, I can see
Speaker 1: it's kind of off, but you got I mean, it's
Speaker 1: getting really I'm I've already put money down in Vegas
Speaker 1: that deep fix will factor into the midterms. So oh yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I believe that. I mean, I think it's it's really
Speaker 1: interesting the fact that the technology has progressed to the
Speaker 1: point that like a mom shout not some moms, by
Speaker 1: the way, not to disparage moms, but like this fifthy
Speaker 1: year old mom is like, I'm just gonna make some
Speaker 1: deep fakes. Ye, So, like the technology is that pedestrian
Speaker 1: that anyone clearly can utilize it, which is so yeah,
Speaker 1: so fucked up. It's like, yeah, you know what, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what, honey, the Vipers aren't gonna win sweepstakes
Speaker 1: at the next competition if their best flyers aren't in
Speaker 1: the game, you know what I mean. Also, a mom
Speaker 1: looks like like the mug shot, Like she looks like
Speaker 1: she will suck somebody up. Oh yeah, yeah, she looks
Speaker 1: like a mom who just needs to pull up with
Speaker 1: her words. You know. I remember when the most mom
Speaker 1: would do is like they were they were waiting for
Speaker 1: your ass after school to be like, can I talk
Speaker 1: to you really quick? You know what I mean? Like
Speaker 1: not deep fakes. She's not wearing Morpheus glasses, so she's
Speaker 1: not a hacker or anything like that. She just looks
Speaker 1: like so her eyeliner is is inspiring a Morpheus glass
Speaker 1: to some level, and her criminally thin lips, uh indicate
Speaker 1: someone who cannot be trusted. But yeah, the deep it's
Speaker 1: just I don't know, you know, like where this ends
Speaker 1: to your point where he's if a mom can pick
Speaker 1: it up. Uh, we're seeing what what the what Congress
Speaker 1: is beginning to look like by the hour. It's only
Speaker 1: a matter of time they come through with some sloppy,
Speaker 1: dumb ship and it completely fucks up the perceived reality
Speaker 1: of the country, where people are firmly in a firmly
Speaker 1: believing in a deep fake that maybe verifiably fake, merely
Speaker 1: because it serves the purpose of like furthering a narrative
Speaker 1: that they need for their partisanship. So this is someone
Speaker 1: who doesn't know how I p addresses work, who is
Speaker 1: able to pull off a deep fake like that's uh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's Republican. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. Democrats are a little
Speaker 1: bit slicker when they're with their fun and sometimes they're not.
Speaker 1: But I think at the end of the day, it's
Speaker 1: just down to you know, if the means are there,
Speaker 1: then people are going to fucking do whatever they can.
Speaker 1: And in this case, like we're seeing two versions of
Speaker 1: like moms just really being like I want the best
Speaker 1: for my daughter. And you know what if Lori of
Speaker 1: flin aunt Becky can fucking defraud in admissions process, give
Speaker 1: us a funk if I do some deep facing or
Speaker 1: vote fraud right, And they're doing it for such mundane
Speaker 1: reasons like I want my daughter to be homecoming queen,
Speaker 1: I want my daughter's cheerleading rivals to suffer. Like it's
Speaker 1: not even for some big ship like lying to get
Speaker 1: into college. You know, it's for very mundane high school
Speaker 1: level type steaks that won't mean anything once you graduate,
Speaker 1: right yea, yeah, man, what's the what's like the most
Speaker 1: your mom did for you? That wasn't like that like
Speaker 1: our a parent did for you, a loved one, like
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody like my I remember my mom
Speaker 1: yelled at another kid once, like for just being shitty
Speaker 1: to me. That was I think that was like the most.
Speaker 1: But I think potentially my mom would deploy a deep
Speaker 1: fake in my honor. I think my mom is probably
Speaker 1: cussed out a teacher or too. Right, Yeah, if this
Speaker 1: were her, Now do you think do you think our
Speaker 1: moms would dabble in this kind of next level? You know?
Speaker 1: Now my mom is a total ludike. She wouldn't do it.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, So so she's also so pull up to
Speaker 1: the school. Yeah, she'll pull up. Yeah right, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: better from the country, she'll pull up. Yeah, yeah, exactly that.
Speaker 1: My mom was once implicated in a hit man complicating
Speaker 1: a hit man to take out one of one of
Speaker 1: my basketball rivals at a pool party in sixth grade. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's missing. Still, that's I mean, that's the old version
Speaker 1: of this. Like, I guess that's probably better that they're doing,
Speaker 1: uh these sloppy than actually trying to hire a hit
Speaker 1: man to take out the cheerleading rivals. How how long
Speaker 1: until we see the Sundance film version of these? Right?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh my god. Yeah, I don't imagine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is true that like Sun Dances the new like
Speaker 1: the Sun Dance Indie version is the new Lifetime version.
Speaker 1: It's like, now that's not Lifetime anymore. They're gonna they're
Speaker 1: gonna art it up and make it like, yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: go hybrow with our true crime. Maurice, it has been
