Speaker 1: I'm not I'm the person who's not gonna sing out
Speaker 1: of out of like the three talents I have, music
Speaker 1: is not one of them. The three. What are the
Speaker 1: three that you would consider if if you're a superhero,
Speaker 1: your abilities, standing in absurd amounts of chemical weapons, holding
Speaker 1: a camera steadily, um, doing a whole bunch of research
Speaker 1: into Nazis without getting like super depressed. It's still still
Speaker 1: pretty depressed, but not I'm not depressed to the point
Speaker 1: where I can't function. I just don't have to keep
Speaker 1: the work going exactly like I hear ro would. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then I guess my last talent would be climbing
Speaker 1: and jumping stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I was actually a Parker
Speaker 1: instructor for like a few years before I started doing
Speaker 1: whatever whatever I do now, reporting on extremism. Yeah that, yeah,
Speaker 1: to its Sorry, I mean so I think we can
Speaker 1: just say this dude is extreme. H Yeah, Garrison, you're
Speaker 1: also young to the point that you had never heard
Speaker 1: That was the first time you had heard regulators or
Speaker 1: anything of the yeah era. Are you familiar with the
Speaker 1: g funk era? No, okay, that's I am. I'm a
Speaker 1: capital Z zoomer zoomer cool. Well do you hate us?
Speaker 1: All my friends are people in their thirties, are right?
Speaker 1: I know, Like I see the people you run with.
Speaker 1: I'm like, he's all right, Garrison, We're going to get
Speaker 1: to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're
Speaker 1: talking about today. We are going to continue with our
Speaker 1: ongoing coverage of the Texas factory off the charts right
Speaker 1: now companies are not being cool to their employees shockingly,
Speaker 1: uh in in the lone Star State. Yeah, we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about Rudy Giuliani's uh, the Chase film that he's
Speaker 1: been starring in for the last few days, SloMo Chase film. Uh.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the five hundred thousand lives that have
Speaker 1: been lost due to the COVID pandemic and how there
Speaker 1: is inequal distribution across racial and ethnic groups and why
Speaker 1: that is. And uh, we'll talk about Joe Biden. Just
Speaker 1: a little update with Joe Uh, where he's at with
Speaker 1: the wealth tax, with releasing children from cages. I watched
Speaker 1: I care a lot. I wanted to check in with that.
Speaker 1: That's like the number one thing on Netflix right now.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the next great film franchise,
Speaker 1: Blade Force. Um based on just a video, a news
Speaker 1: video someone tweeted to us about some roller blade cops
Speaker 1: and saw, uh so cool. Uh. And we will also
Speaker 1: talk about the jeep Cherokee h and why they should
Speaker 1: retire that name, all of that plenty more. But first, Garrison,
Speaker 1: we like to ask our guest, what is something from
Speaker 1: your search history that's revealing about who you are. Let's
Speaker 1: see the most recent thing for my search history is, uh,
Speaker 1: San Francisco homelessness robot because today I saw on Twitter
Speaker 1: the Boston Dynamics dog robot being used by the NYPD.
Speaker 1: Not not great, um, and I wanted to see how
Speaker 1: long San Francisco has been using their homelessness robots. The
Speaker 1: robots like just go around and attack almost people sleeping. Um, since,
Speaker 1: like I was, I was doing it for a tweet anyway,
Speaker 1: it's from it's it's since so going on, I guess
Speaker 1: gee's four years now? Oh my god. Um, San Francisco
Speaker 1: on the cutting edge of brutalizing the US. Yeah, using
Speaker 1: robots to attack marginalized people and people who need help. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So actually I'm not really familiar with well. First of all,
Speaker 1: so then YPD is using that terrified terrifying dog robots?
Speaker 1: How in what way? I mean? They claim it's for
Speaker 1: like going into houses where there's like an armed suspect.
Speaker 1: But we'll we'll see how it gets used. I mean
Speaker 1: it's it's very could very easily be of like an
Speaker 1: efficients like surveillance tool. Um, like, it could be used
Speaker 1: for a lot of things. That's just the thing that
Speaker 1: NYPD is saying they're going to use it for. So
Speaker 1: we'll see. It's pretty they're pivoting away from like military
Speaker 1: like straight up military technology because the optics are bad.
Speaker 1: And you're like, what about like fucking expensive as robots
Speaker 1: that are scary shit, it's like militarized police ship. What
Speaker 1: about like future fun dog police. It's like almost a
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars for the robots, right, and you think
Speaker 1: about those robots, right, it's like how many how much
Speaker 1: you're spending on the robots in the maintenance and you
Speaker 1: could just put over and you have to pay someone
Speaker 1: to operate it. You have to like have some people
Speaker 1: to like take care of it, manage it. All those
Speaker 1: people are getting paid for something where you have to
Speaker 1: feed it orphans. I think that's what that is, what
Speaker 1: the Boston Dynamics robots, Yeah, that is that's the one
Speaker 1: caveat like what possible use that like altruistic could there
Speaker 1: be for a dog shaped robot that like you can't
Speaker 1: knock over, Like that's like the cool thing about it is, like, man,
Speaker 1: try and kick this thing over. You can't knock it over.
Speaker 1: It'll keep it just keeps coming. Bro. I guess therapy uses.
Speaker 1: I don't know theirpeutic um. They should just give it
Speaker 1: like a smoochy like face from the Simpsons there. I
Speaker 1: mean even like reading like the hand holdie, like local news,
Speaker 1: like let's just give the p D a b J
Speaker 1: with how cool this robot is reporting. It's not even
Speaker 1: like doing real like it's not saying anything a real
Speaker 1: dog or human couldn't do. It's like this, this is cool.
Speaker 1: This dog is gonna save lives, protect people, and protect
Speaker 1: officers and that's our goal. Okay, his name is Frank
Speaker 1: did Jacomo, but dig is in there, so it feels futuristic.
Speaker 1: And then they said this robot is able to use
Speaker 1: this artificial intelligence to navigate things very complex and vironment
Speaker 1: like a brain could. Okay, and what else. It's covered
Speaker 1: with cameras and lights, which allows police to get a
Speaker 1: real time look at things even in darkness. It's like
Speaker 1: a video game night vision flashlights. I'm doing here. I
Speaker 1: have a I have a thermal camera that I got
Speaker 1: for reasons, right anyway, Yeah, yeah, so did I. When
Speaker 1: I was a kid. You won't remember this, but there's
Speaker 1: a thing called spy tech. I had spy I had
Speaker 1: spy tech in in the early two thousand's. Oh so
Speaker 1: they brought it back around. Okay, I'm glad it's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's it's still going strong. Honestly, it can unite
Speaker 1: the millennials and the zoomers. We could have approved, like
Speaker 1: because I remember cooler. When I was a kid, spy
Speaker 1: tech was like bullshit? Was I remember I got the
Speaker 1: I remember everybody wanted like the heat seeker radar thing
Speaker 1: that was like straight up like predator type ship where
Speaker 1: you could put there's heat over there. I remember my
Speaker 1: parents got me like the fingerprint invisible inc with the
Speaker 1: lights hit and I'm like, oh, this ship is bullshit.
Speaker 1: And I'm just writing like fuck you on the wall
Speaker 1: and then just like pusing the light to be like
Speaker 1: that's that's good. Yeah. Uh yeah. And just I mean
Speaker 1: this kind of ties into what you were saying earlier
Speaker 1: about your your skill set of being able to stand well, uh,
Speaker 1: chemical weapons in vast amounts of chemical weapons because uh
Speaker 1: the police police forces were the ones who were using
Speaker 1: those against you. Yes, yeah, mix of mix of I
Speaker 1: guess it was mostly DHS and the Portland Police Bureau,
Speaker 1: right yeah, last last summer. I mean also a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of Proud Boys. You'll be using an abstain an
Speaker 1: absurd amount of mace last year one day in August
Speaker 1: where I was, I was kind of I was burning
Speaker 1: for days after that. Um yeah, real fun. Yeah and
Speaker 1: that yeah, that that was the A Proud Boy broke
Speaker 1: Robert Evans hand same day, just another just another Sunday, Saturday, whatever.
Speaker 1: It was, just I just learned the I just learned
Speaker 1: the origin of the Proud Boy name, which is the
Speaker 1: Aladdin thing. The Aladdin thing. Yeah yeah, did you know
Speaker 1: this moles that it's based on. So there was a
Speaker 1: useless uh plot in the original Aladdin script. Uh that
Speaker 1: was like Aladdin's mom and she was just like, you know,
Speaker 1: not not useful for dramatic purposes. And she had a
Speaker 1: couple of songs that were cut from the film. One
Speaker 1: of them was about how she was proud of her son.
Speaker 1: And the Proud Boys seized on that, like the men's
Speaker 1: rights movement seized on that as like their thing, like
Speaker 1: what you can't be proud of a boy anymore? And
Speaker 1: that's how that's where we got proud boys from Yeah,
Speaker 1: very adult like thinking Disney, Distress Disney. I p to
Speaker 1: like give your agin story to your fucking hate groups.
Speaker 1: Really put your head in the books, man, crack those
Speaker 1: books open and learn about some ship man. Uh, what
Speaker 1: is something garrisonthing you think is underrated? Okay, this is
Speaker 1: something I get bullied a lot for. I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: instrumental music. That's what I'm gonna say, because I don't know.
Speaker 1: Ever since I was a little kid, I could not
Speaker 1: listen to music with lyrics and have the lyrics make
Speaker 1: any sense. It would all just kind of turn, it
Speaker 1: would all it would all just sound like music to me,
Speaker 1: um like evening lyrics. Yeah, don't hear lyrics. I just
Speaker 1: hear like other instruments essentially um so. And basically I
Speaker 1: listened to tr music because it's more interesting because it
Speaker 1: has I don't know, I think there's more thought into
Speaker 1: the actual sound of it because I just can't enjoy lyrics.
Speaker 1: It it's it takes too much. It takes too much
Speaker 1: focus in my brain to like try to understand what
Speaker 1: people are saying. Um so all my basically all my
Speaker 1: Spotify stuff is all like a mixt of electronic and
Speaker 1: old timey instrumental stuff, and all my friends bullying me
Speaker 1: for it. Um I love instrumental music. It's the it's
Speaker 1: the perfect texture like sonically, I think. Because yeah, to
Speaker 1: your point, like there's a there's a thing I've noticed
Speaker 1: because I play like more music just sort of ambiently
Speaker 1: during the like throughout the day. When I play songs
Speaker 1: that have like lyrics in like like songs that I
Speaker 1: really like, it's a distraction because like suddenly I'm like
Speaker 1: trying to think and then I started singing like a
Speaker 1: guitar solo out loud because I'm like, oh yeah that
Speaker 1: part versus like instrumental music, I can very much be
Speaker 1: like Yep, there it is. It's I know, it's there.
Speaker 1: I like it. It's giving me joy, but it's not
Speaker 1: distracting me too much with like taking too much of
Speaker 1: my attention. And by old timey instrumental music, you mean
Speaker 1: like you know, I mean everything from I mean I
Speaker 1: have stuff from like I don't know, I've hold like
Speaker 1: um union songs with the lyrics stripped that have been
Speaker 1: like remixed and stuff in the background. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: the mix of that. I don't know, some like remix
Speaker 1: to jazz. What do your what do your friends tell
Speaker 1: you should be listening to? All my because of because
Speaker 1: I'm in Portland, everyone listens to like folk punk and stuff.
Speaker 1: So you know, everyone's all you're good man. I mean
Speaker 1: it's like it's fine, but I'm never I'm never going
Speaker 1: to go out of my way to listen to it. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well it's also aggressive, like when you try to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're listening to that, I mean like, look, we're gonna
Speaker 1: listen with the funk. We need to to get through
Speaker 1: this ship. Okay, thank you. What is something you think
Speaker 1: is overrated? Garrison Robots Jesus Christ. Everyone's like, oh, robots
Speaker 1: are so fun, Like, no, they've done like nothing, good effort,
Speaker 1: They've on live in that. Yeah, I think all it's
Speaker 1: done is the best thing people can say robots have done.
Speaker 1: It's like it's helped people make more money faster. That's
Speaker 1: yeah basically, And yes, there's like medical applications, but I
Speaker 1: think like overall, I think those robotics things I think
Speaker 1: of like the factory lines and like how much more.
Speaker 1: You can crank out with robots and things like that,
Speaker 1: but how it's making making the environment, whereas there once
Speaker 1: we start giving robots guns, that's gonna suck of they're
Speaker 1: all bad. I don't think anything really good is gonna
Speaker 1: come to robots. But people still like them because Star Wars.
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know. I like, I like Star Wars,
Speaker 1: and of course I like R two D two, but
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm terrify, like anti homeless robot is kind
Speaker 1: of like R two D two shaped. I know, so
Speaker 1: sad co opt his beautiful It sucks because like the
Speaker 1: robot just goes around like pokes people the worst and
Speaker 1: you can get in a lot of trouble from breaking it. Oh,
Speaker 1: it sucks terrible. What other what other robots are like
Speaker 1: being used? I guess I guess there's like you were saying,
Speaker 1: the factory floor robots, factory robots. I mean, you can,
Speaker 1: you know, think of like a computer flowing like drones
Speaker 1: and stuff for surveillance from dropping bombs. Um, I don't know,
Speaker 1: just like robots in general, just I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1: I can't think of very many good ones. They need.
Speaker 1: They need a pr campaign like to write the ship
Speaker 1: for that, because like, yeah, you could cut together a
Speaker 1: bunch of horrific robot videos, but like where is the
Speaker 1: one you're like, oh, robot, or you're like, you know what,
Speaker 1: that's that robot that robot did good well in. In
Speaker 1: the Star Wars universe, robots are like a thing that
Speaker 1: people who are you know, lower class or like farm labors,
Speaker 1: like work with and like sell parts for. And they're
Speaker 1: basically Star Wars yeah, and they're basically slaves and like
Speaker 1: treated like absolute ship. But in reality they are a
Speaker 1: tool of like you have to be a massive corporation
Speaker 1: to create or the military to create a robot. It's
Speaker 1: not like people are just like picking up robot parts
Speaker 1: and building their own robots. I didn't have that lego
Speaker 1: kit back in right, tactically made a robots. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: that's like a fantasy of Hollywood that like robots are
Speaker 1: just like a a thing that we can all just
Speaker 1: like there we don't have to feel bad about, right,
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, Real Steel that Hue Hugh Jackman movie
Speaker 1: where like the robots are like hang out in junkyards
Speaker 1: and like they pick up little pieces from wait, they
Speaker 1: were sentient in that movie. No, no, that that's just
Speaker 1: like where you find them. They got you. I thought
Speaker 1: like there was a bunch of robots kicking in a
Speaker 1: junk or like smoking cigarettes, like throwing dice or something.
Speaker 1: But they're just on shutdownload right. Um. Wally also Wally
Speaker 1: also yeah, one of the great robots. But while he's
Speaker 1: not Wally, he's not rolling through that door. I mean,
Speaker 1: and Wally's existence is it example of how messed up
Speaker 1: everything is, the whole robot basically making cities out of
Speaker 1: trash because we wrecked the earth. So yeah, again, it's
Speaker 1: not we don't want to have a Wally robot. If
Speaker 1: we have a robot, were Yeah, we're pretty sucked up.
Speaker 1: But he's so cute. Maybe it's worth it. I don't know.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back. And we're back. Uh and uh, let's check
Speaker 1: in with the most recent crisis that is revealing the
Speaker 1: threadbare social fabric that is crumbling all around us. Uh.
Speaker 1: And that is the Texas storm, the Texas uh freeze. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like you're saying every it's like covid uh and
Speaker 1: that this is now just highlighting all the failings of capitalism.
Speaker 1: And the free market. Baby that now when something goes wrong,
Speaker 1: people are left to fend for themselves. There's no support
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, that that's your problem. Um, case
Speaker 1: and point. Now, this latest story that I was reading
Speaker 1: the Daily Beast is talking about how many workers who
Speaker 1: have been stranded or like without internet or power to
Speaker 1: whether like it's to commute or telecommute whatever to their jobs. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, they're having issues getting to work, doing work
Speaker 1: to get their wages. Um. And the employers, you know,
Speaker 1: they are you know, they understand that these are historically
Speaker 1: fucked times in the state of Texas. At the beginning
Speaker 1: of COVID told us they did the stories, and they're
Speaker 1: saying in these times, uh, if you are unable to
Speaker 1: go to work or root work remotely due to loss
Speaker 1: of electricity during last week's destructive winter storm, you must
Speaker 1: consider those lost days as vacation. Otherwise you will go
Speaker 1: without pay. That's that's a policy that a lot of
Speaker 1: people are like, have been sending emails. It seems to
Speaker 1: be like in the Dallas Fort With area. So there's
Speaker 1: a Bell tex Strawn, which is like a Hellica formerly
Speaker 1: Bell Helicopter, United agg and Turf the City of Dallas
Speaker 1: also was sending these very similar emails about saying like, hey, y'all, uh,
Speaker 1: we get it. If you know you can't work, maybe
Speaker 1: just call that a vacation and then that's how we'll
Speaker 1: avoid losing money. Here go to Cancoon. Yeah, that is
Speaker 1: amazing that they're like, that's your vacation. Meanwhile, Ted Cruz
Speaker 1: is taking an actual vacation. Yeah, or the the a
Speaker 1: g like fucked off to Utah to like the second
Speaker 1: age that, Yeah, good for him, he needs a break.
Speaker 1: I mean, these it's hard robbing the society that you're
Speaker 1: supposed to watch over Blend. Yeah, I do have to
Speaker 1: say I do appreciate the move from Bell helicopter to
Speaker 1: Bell textron because they're at least at least being like,
Speaker 1: oh ship, we're not We're more evil than like a
Speaker 1: Bell helicopter. Cliverpug tried to warn us tried with robots,
Speaker 1: with all this stuff they tried, and everyone's like, oh,
Speaker 1: neon lights, that's cool. Totally missed the point. Everything's big
Speaker 1: and textrawn welcome, like amazing. Yeah, a lot of explanations
Speaker 1: that like these companies were giving. We're never like, oh man,
Speaker 1: we need to take a look at that. We didn't
Speaker 1: realize that was happening. It was like the biggest one
Speaker 1: seemed to be like, well, like we contract with the
Speaker 1: government a lot of times, so like you gotta talk
Speaker 1: to them whether or not we can build them for
Speaker 1: like emergency pay. So like that's kind of like what
Speaker 1: the fucking deal is going on here? And other companies said, oh,
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, they could do that, and but I
Speaker 1: mean not to say, like if they don't have vacation time,
Speaker 1: obviously they they'll have to do what they can. They
Speaker 1: can just borrow against their future paid time off. Like
Speaker 1: nobody actually was like what you caught us. That's a
Speaker 1: bad look and we're doing it right. It was just
Speaker 1: all this like bureaucratic hot potato that talk to HR
Speaker 1: talk to federal government. I don't know what do you
Speaker 1: want me to say? Um, but I think the biggest
Speaker 1: thing is that like in Texas, there's just no requirement
Speaker 1: for people to pay any vacation time, right, so like
Speaker 1: there's just no safety net for people in any sense.
Speaker 1: And so again this means that like so it's an
Speaker 1: employer by employer decision that's being made to be cruel.
Speaker 1: What like it's it's such a quintessential American experience, just
Speaker 1: like distilled into its purest form, all of these problems
Speaker 1: that Texas is dealing with, because Texas is like the
Speaker 1: most American state, right, and all these things are just
Speaker 1: like such a great example of how everything is set
Speaker 1: up to fail regular people, right, Like imagine a the freeze,
Speaker 1: but it's nationwide in whatever form that comes, it comes
Speaker 1: to going to be a fucking disaster. Because again, like
Speaker 1: Texas is like a micro color don't know, maybe mac
Speaker 1: roads so of like runaway deregulation for decades and then
Speaker 1: like patting themselves on the back because they have cheap
Speaker 1: power or whatever and just because things are stable. But
Speaker 1: the second you introduce in any element of chaos or instability,
Speaker 1: the ship just completely breaks apart and it's just leaving
Speaker 1: behind just blood and death. Yeah, I mean it's not
Speaker 1: even just tech like. At the same time, this was
Speaker 1: all happening in Texas. Um uh, most of Portland's power
Speaker 1: shut off during a nice storm as well. Um I
Speaker 1: mean all of my friends, um were with with without
Speaker 1: power for like days and days. Um I had I
Speaker 1: was like enough to have power based on the part
Speaker 1: of the city. I mean I had, I had to
Speaker 1: have people had to come over to my place to
Speaker 1: get power and stuff and to keep warm. Um, we
Speaker 1: had like a whole grocery store collapse, like literally, like
Speaker 1: the roof collapsed because of all the snow build up
Speaker 1: because the buildings were built cheaply, because people didn't plan
Speaker 1: on this type of weather. Right, So this it's all
Speaker 1: the stuff like you know, this type of you know,
Speaker 1: extreme climate conditions are only gonna get worse. We're gonna
Speaker 1: have more of these things happen, all right, because this
Speaker 1: isn't the first. This isn't the first time some something
Speaker 1: that has happened in Texas. Um, it's not gonna be
Speaker 1: the last time, and it's gonna happen across more frequent
Speaker 1: the country, to be more frequent, to be more extreme. Right.
Speaker 1: It's like I was looking at the video from it
Speaker 1: was it was a safe way outside of Portland that
Speaker 1: just completely collapsed, and it's like, yeah, that's like what
Speaker 1: you see in movies. It's just like the buildings just
Speaker 1: collapsed because of all the ice. Based on your conversations
Speaker 1: with them, did your friends enjoy their vacation from electricity?
Speaker 1: Mostly not all. Most of these friends are like kind
Speaker 1: of anti technology, but like in a way that they
Speaker 1: still use technology. So no, not really. Um, they'll they'll
Speaker 1: like meme about it, but they were like cold, and
Speaker 1: that sucks that Facebook post that we got from that
Speaker 1: mayor early on, Like he just said that, he said
Speaker 1: what everybody like he said American? He said, yeah, uh,
Speaker 1: that's that's all you need to know about I think,
Speaker 1: And I think it's like I wish their news could
Speaker 1: do you never see like MSNBC be like is he
Speaker 1: telling a lie? Though? You know what I mean, CNN,
Speaker 1: just because like that's real, that's real. You could if
Speaker 1: you're in the fucking mainstream media, you could say, let's
Speaker 1: be for us, keep it two virgils real quick. This
Speaker 1: fucking the sentiments expressed by that person is exactly what
Speaker 1: we see play out at every level well when we're
Speaker 1: talking about people in need in this country. So yes,
Speaker 1: while the to say these things is deplorable for a leader,
Speaker 1: we also have this culture in built in our country,
Speaker 1: and actually we need to confront that more than acting
Speaker 1: like these like random blemishes pop up in our fucking
Speaker 1: media landscape, like oh, here's somebody saying this weird thing
Speaker 1: that we all know to be true, rather than accepting that,
Speaker 1: like this is really the really insidious part about our
Speaker 1: culture and that we need to figure out how to
Speaker 1: you know, have a reconciliation with that, a reckoning with it.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's easier to just be like, can
Speaker 1: you believe that guy while pretending like this is and
Speaker 1: how all this ship is everywhere? They should have given
Speaker 1: him a show, so we just like always know what
Speaker 1: you know he did. He did a perfect job of
Speaker 1: expressing how Texas was going to treat people ahead of him,
Speaker 1: but he just did it in the way that like
Speaker 1: people like, shitty people agree with. So he wanted to
Speaker 1: be a little more objective. He's like, look, what I'm
Speaker 1: saying is, if you look at the budgets, the way
Speaker 1: the regulations are built, we're clearly not incentivizing or even
Speaker 1: making it a priority to treat people humanely. That's all
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Right, But let's say here's the here's the receipts,
Speaker 1: y'all give him a translator who like puts this end
Speaker 1: of the day, It's it's just jarring because, yeah, you
Speaker 1: see those videos of people living and just horrifying conditions,
Speaker 1: and you still have people with the gall to go
Speaker 1: on TV and you know, point fingers and every direction
Speaker 1: but the ones they need to be. Yeah, alright, this
Speaker 1: next story might be the one good use of the
Speaker 1: busting uh robot. The buston is a dynamic yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and that is to serve Rudy his papers. Uh. This
Speaker 1: dude is facing a one point three billion dollar lawsuit
Speaker 1: from the Dominion voting systems and he is Uh, it's
Speaker 1: like running man. He's just out here treating New York like,
Speaker 1: you know, one big game of hide and seek from
Speaker 1: the people trying to serve in his papers. I think
Speaker 1: at that one point, I mean, look, Jackie, if you
Speaker 1: knew somebody was trying to hit you with a point,
Speaker 1: I would fucking dig underground full. I don't even know
Speaker 1: what talking about. I think I'm dead actually, um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's obviously because he had the starring role in the
Speaker 1: Big Lie starring Rudy Giuliani uh Donald Trump joint. And
Speaker 1: you know the funny thing was he knew that it
Speaker 1: was the end, you know, like he knew the Big
Speaker 1: Lie was up. Dominion is like, we told you to
Speaker 1: keep fucking around and see what happens, and they said, okay,
Speaker 1: again with Mike Glendell. You've sunk around, then you have
Speaker 1: go into the find out phase. Rudy was beginning to
Speaker 1: find out, so he's running. Uh. They first tried to
Speaker 1: serve it to him over email and he wouldn't respond.
Speaker 1: And then they're like, you know, he had numerous times
Speaker 1: to the even decline email service, say that he wants
Speaker 1: it in person. But he was just acting. No, I
Speaker 1: didn't get that, like you know some people do with
Speaker 1: bills and things like that. And then it turns into uh,
Speaker 1: people chasing him across like his his the building he
Speaker 1: was in, and I'm just gonna read this like a
Speaker 1: little bit from the Daily News. In February seven, Giuliani
Speaker 1: hopped into the passenger seat of an suv and tried
Speaker 1: to quickly close the suv door as a process server
Speaker 1: lunched forward with a bag full of documents that got
Speaker 1: lodged between the door. Rudy says, quote, this is not
Speaker 1: the way it's supposed to be done. You should have
Speaker 1: gone to my office. According to the account, a driver
Speaker 1: for Giuliani and the doorman pulled the bag of papers
Speaker 1: free from the suv door so that Giuliani could close
Speaker 1: it and the process server placed the bag in front
Speaker 1: of Giuliani's building, which the doorman had locked because apparently
Speaker 1: his doorman was helping him out and kept locking the
Speaker 1: door behind Rudy whenever he would come in the building,
Speaker 1: and the doorman would only let in people he knew,
Speaker 1: so like he had the homie hook it up by
Speaker 1: the door. And then so when you put the papers down,
Speaker 1: the process server said, these documents now belonged to Giuliani.
Speaker 1: But the story goes on. The process server then saw
Speaker 1: a maintenance worker tossed the documents into a street trash can,
Speaker 1: and then when the person went in, there's like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, is that really the ship it was? It
Speaker 1: was the actual fucking documents. And then later on in
Speaker 1: a trash can on the state in New York, they
Speaker 1: said for then it continued for two more days. Not
Speaker 1: to mention before this they were trying to find him.
Speaker 1: It went for two days, trying to go to his apartment,
Speaker 1: trying to go to his office, whatever the funk they
Speaker 1: thought he would be. He was ducking him. And then finally,
Speaker 1: like an assistant at his office came out and like
Speaker 1: accepted it, and is this a a sound legal strategy?
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, guys, I'm not familiar with I know,
Speaker 1: but but just avoiding getting the lawsuit is that succeeded.
Speaker 1: I know a little bit about this because there was
Speaker 1: this um a few years ago. I was looking into this,
Speaker 1: uh this Nazi I get shocker, UM, who are people
Speaker 1: were trying to sue because he was Nazi needed like
Speaker 1: Nazi violent stuff anyway, um, And they but like they
Speaker 1: couldn't sue him because he kind of fell off the
Speaker 1: grid and people couldn't find where to serve papers. Like
Speaker 1: it was this whole like investigation to figuring out where
Speaker 1: he is so that you could serve um documents. There
Speaker 1: was like this whole like investigative team that was like
Speaker 1: like narrowed it down to the city and then like
Speaker 1: narrowed it down to like what grocery store he frequents.
Speaker 1: Then they would like stand in the grocery store waiting
Speaker 1: for him to get groceries and then like try to
Speaker 1: you know, serve him the trying to serve him the documents.
Speaker 1: But they never could. There was like one time that
Speaker 1: like one of the investigators saw someone who thought it
Speaker 1: was him in the grocery store but didn't think it
Speaker 1: was and turned out that actually was, and then they
Speaker 1: they didn't see him for like months and months after
Speaker 1: and they're like they were like beating themselves up over it. Um,
Speaker 1: did you imagine that was? Yeah? It sucks. So I
Speaker 1: get like, as long as they could never give you
Speaker 1: the papers, you're they're they're not they're they're not suing
Speaker 1: you yet. Whether or not that can be used at
Speaker 1: the trial, I don't know, I mean, because that would
Speaker 1: clearly be like, uh, your honor, this person was literally
Speaker 1: evading any form of accountability, like he was running from
Speaker 1: us because he knew what was going on. You don't,
Speaker 1: I don't know. And according all his like sound bites
Speaker 1: before he was before he got this paper served, he
Speaker 1: was like, oh, yeah, I'm with that. Hit me with
Speaker 1: that billion. That's they're just trying to sucking pump me.
Speaker 1: I'm ready, I have receipts. They don't want to know,
Speaker 1: they don't want to see me in court. Actually, you
Speaker 1: know what would like that because I would like to
Speaker 1: go to court and bring out all this evidence. Cut
Speaker 1: to you running the funk away entire squealing to be
Speaker 1: like driver, get the doors out of it, get the
Speaker 1: documents out of the door. Like, come on with with
Speaker 1: the with the Guliani thing. Who should who is your
Speaker 1: pick to? Who's your pick to direct this movie? I
Speaker 1: think like a guy Ritchie kind of snatched type, you know,
Speaker 1: keep it upbeat with some good music, or you can
Speaker 1: do whoever directed the latest Tom and Jerry cartoons, because
Speaker 1: that was like very like three directors, one story. Giuliani
Speaker 1: evading the Summons story I do. It's so great the
Speaker 1: way this clashes with he and Mike Lindell just being like, yes,
Speaker 1: finally you're gonna bring the lawsuit. You've walked right into
Speaker 1: my trap because now we'll really find out the real
Speaker 1: case that I've been doing behind the scenes. It's just
Speaker 1: like you know, like when people lie and they're like
Speaker 1: yeah you'll see, Yeah, you'll see, and you're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we will, motherfucker, we will see. And right now it's
Speaker 1: like that interim period where you can bluff that you
Speaker 1: have the proof until you have to actually put the
Speaker 1: cards down. You know, it's like poker baby, but now
Speaker 1: he's now he's crying, you know on TV is like
Speaker 1: I've lost sixty five million in revenue. Who Michae Lindell, Yes,
Speaker 1: this six hours ago, this headline just came out. He
Speaker 1: says election fraud claims have cost him sixtue. I mean
Speaker 1: whatever that means to him, fine, But like, but where's
Speaker 1: all this energy, Mr Patriot hero The weirdly like the
Speaker 1: um case against him that uh there, Brent, that Dominion
Speaker 1: is bringing is like they kind of framed it as
Speaker 1: like he was doing all of this to make money,
Speaker 1: which I don't know why they did that, because even
Speaker 1: if he's losing money by claiming this, it's still like
Speaker 1: not good. I guess I guess maybe it's a or
Speaker 1: of like whether he actually believes it, Yeah, and probably
Speaker 1: what they can prove, like yeah, that sounds because like
Speaker 1: you have to probably put like for Juliani, Powell, Trump,
Speaker 1: it's easy to know what the incentive is, like they're
Speaker 1: being paid to do this by Trump, who's the main
Speaker 1: beneficiary of the lie, whereas like he I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not a fucking lawyer, so I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna shut up. But I wonder if that's part of
Speaker 1: partly like they can actually prove like this connection of
Speaker 1: like he's doing this, like he's participating in this because
Speaker 1: there's something in hit for him to continue to defame
Speaker 1: the company. But that doesn't doesn't need to be like
Speaker 1: a straightforward it's a immediate rise in sales like that.
Speaker 1: That's what is seems questionable to me that they like
Speaker 1: made it that they made it contingent on that, because
Speaker 1: it could easily just be he's trying to get a
Speaker 1: authoritarian coup with his best friend as the furor, Like well, like,
Speaker 1: what do you what more do you need for like incentive?
Speaker 1: You're now you're talking like millennial court. That's why we
Speaker 1: would we should be able to be like, hey, my honor.
Speaker 1: Uh look this dude, like like Jack just said his
Speaker 1: best friend is going to be the fear and he
Speaker 1: wanted the front row seat. That's what the right. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it does seem outdated to me that, um, we still
Speaker 1: need to like play tag with people who are being
Speaker 1: sued instead of that there's a tag clause being being
Speaker 1: held to account for your crimes, Like couldn't you just
Speaker 1: like get outside of their house and blare through like
Speaker 1: a sound system, Like it just seems like there's plenty
Speaker 1: of ways you can make it unavoidable. This is why
Speaker 1: I'm super excited to get sued. It's because I can
Speaker 1: just parkour away and then oh that'd be a six
Speaker 1: scene with park but you're his stunt doubles and they
Speaker 1: got through and he's like, shit, they got me, And
Speaker 1: oh shit, who's who's your pick? We I don't think
Speaker 1: we got your pick for the um, we could get
Speaker 1: the guy who did Oceans eleven. I think would be
Speaker 1: would would make a pretty would like make like a
Speaker 1: pretty funny movie based on that, Like it wouldn't be good,
Speaker 1: but it'd be like funny to watch. Yeah, I think, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, because I think I'll take it overly
Speaker 1: seriously in some ways and it'll just turn into kind
Speaker 1: of being accidentally campy. Yeah. What was that one? Uh,
Speaker 1: like French Parker film? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, that's who the directorship.
Speaker 1: I forget who directed that, but the main star of
Speaker 1: that was the guy that people credit for being the
Speaker 1: inventor Parker, David Bell. Really yeah, it's a Luke Bassan movie.
Speaker 1: Oh I don't even know that, all right, I didn't either.
Speaker 1: It's it's okay. Um, the French version is better than
Speaker 1: the American adaptation, so there. Yeah, yeah, that's what I meant.
Speaker 1: The Loup the French version, yeah, starring Rudy Giuliani now
Speaker 1: a Guliani. Yes, I feel like that's one of those
Speaker 1: art forms or you know, skills that you can't beat, uh,
Speaker 1: just watching somebody do it in a YouTube video, because
Speaker 1: like Hollywood, it's too easy to be like, oh, that
Speaker 1: was probably special effects or whatever. Um, it's like street magic.
Speaker 1: It's like making a movie about street magic. You're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: well that could have been a that could have been
Speaker 1: an in camera uh special effect. It's funny because like that.
Speaker 1: I remember, you know, back in my day in the
Speaker 1: late nineties, they used like it was like they were
Speaker 1: called actually a freestyle walking, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: like the beginning of just like whiling out like with
Speaker 1: your feet and just like doing some weird ship. And
Speaker 1: I was like that. I remember my friend Chris, we
Speaker 1: would always laughing like yo, freestyle walking. We had the
Speaker 1: same so funny called the cozy walking. That's like that.
Speaker 1: And then you're like then, like twenty years later, you're like,
Speaker 1: oh ship, they did that. They figured it out, but
Speaker 1: it was based off There's like an md TV like
Speaker 1: segment where they were like and these every cell walkers
Speaker 1: and but they weren't even doing parkour. They would just
Speaker 1: like jump off a bench and do a spin. It
Speaker 1: was basically like it's like it's it was a prank.
Speaker 1: It's like the office Parker that have that's tormented me
Speaker 1: for every day of my life. Now, yeah, yell at
Speaker 1: me when I because then it was soaping before that.
Speaker 1: What remember the shoes soaps that had the grind plate.
Speaker 1: They had a grind plate. No, it didn't have a
Speaker 1: it didn't have wheels on the soul. There was a
Speaker 1: like by the arch there was like a grind plate
Speaker 1: so you could just hit a fucking tense stare in
Speaker 1: your skate shoes on your feet. And I remember my
Speaker 1: boy Jeff just fucking shattered as clavical, like fucking on
Speaker 1: trying to bust it like a sixteen stare. And I
Speaker 1: remember like we were like twelve or third team at
Speaker 1: the time, and like the big thing we teached him
Speaker 1: about was like, Yo, we heard your mom. I'd help
Speaker 1: you pee because like you couldn't use your arms um
Speaker 1: or your mom's a nurse. Cool, real cool dude. Uh.
Speaker 1: That really seems like one of those things that's so
Speaker 1: irresponsible of them to sell that they would have to
Speaker 1: like come up with a fake use, Like why the
Speaker 1: thing is on there because uh, like sliding down banisters
Speaker 1: on your feet like for that doesn't seem like it
Speaker 1: should be legal. Anyways, Uh, shout out to the Nike
Speaker 1: soaps probably wasn't Nike. No, they were their own, they
Speaker 1: were their own company. Nice, good for them. Yeah, shout
Speaker 1: out to them. All right, and let's uh, let's actually
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll come back. And we're back.
Speaker 1: And it's been but in the media recently that America
Speaker 1: just crossed the five hundred thousand people lost COVID nineteen milestone.
Speaker 1: Obviously very grim milestone, but Miles, you were pointing out that, uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's worth looking within the statistics that just to
Speaker 1: keep reminding people, you know, because I think everybody has
Speaker 1: different kinds of cultural, socio economic, ethnic blind spots, probably
Speaker 1: to like what the pandemic might look like to your community,
Speaker 1: your city, whatever, of your friend group and the you know,
Speaker 1: when you look at the figures, obviously we've talked a
Speaker 1: lot about, uh, you know, the fact that people of
Speaker 1: color have really been the you know, the biggest group
Speaker 1: that's been disproportionately affected by the virus in terms of death.
Speaker 1: And when you look at some of these statistics that
Speaker 1: were put together just about a week ago, so right
Speaker 1: before we got to five hundred thousand. UM you look
Speaker 1: into some of like the death per hundred thousand statistics
Speaker 1: and it's really it's grim right. Uh. One in four
Speaker 1: hundred seventy five Indigenous Americans has died, so that's two
Speaker 1: D ten deaths per hundred thousand. One in six hundred
Speaker 1: forty five Black Americans has died, that's one D fifty
Speaker 1: five per hundred thousand. Uh. Like, it takes a second,
Speaker 1: like when you start looking at who is making up
Speaker 1: the country demographically numerically, and then what who's you know,
Speaker 1: to use the term grimly like overperforming based on the
Speaker 1: actual share of people who are in the population. It's
Speaker 1: people of color who are who are really looking at
Speaker 1: death rates that are in the multiples of their white counterparts.
Speaker 1: Black Americans die at twice the rate of their white counterparts,
Speaker 1: Indigenous people two point two times, Latin next two point
Speaker 1: four times. And you know, as we look around and
Speaker 1: we're we talked about, oh, the numbers are going down
Speaker 1: and that's good, and like the u K Is talking
Speaker 1: about maybe they're gonna be open by June twenty one
Speaker 1: and all this ship and I see all the memes
Speaker 1: going up on UK Twitter, but you know, in this
Speaker 1: country to like, we're also having we're also dealing again,
Speaker 1: not with just how this is disproportionately impacting people of color,
Speaker 1: like in terms of when you get infected, but even
Speaker 1: with how we're distributing the care and the vaccinations. White
Speaker 1: Americans accounted for sixty of the number of people who
Speaker 1: have been fully vaccinated. Just over five um who have
Speaker 1: been who have received two doses are black, and a
Speaker 1: lot of it is too. We have really fucked up
Speaker 1: ways of measuring these demographics, like, uh, black life expectancy
Speaker 1: isn't typically going to seventy five. So by saying, oh,
Speaker 1: people over this age can get access, you are already
Speaker 1: eliminating an entire group of people because of the negligent
Speaker 1: way our health care system works, our lack of social
Speaker 1: social safety nets and things like that. So it's it's
Speaker 1: it's already like it's insidious, and even how we're distributing
Speaker 1: the vaccine because like that it's I was like, well,
Speaker 1: this is the age that we're targeting. It's like, but
Speaker 1: look it, but break it down demographically, like there's high
Speaker 1: risk groups in their sixties, for people that should be
Speaker 1: getting this who are just as in need of this
Speaker 1: as people over seventy. So you know, all this to say,
Speaker 1: like as as the news focus and things change and
Speaker 1: things like that, we have to really be able to
Speaker 1: keep this at the front of our mind because yes,
Speaker 1: while the actual pandemic response itself was just disastrous, it's
Speaker 1: again underlining this really violent way of of treatment that
Speaker 1: we are subjecting people of color too. It's not just
Speaker 1: because oh, well, there maybe there's something about people who
Speaker 1: aren't white the virus effects of different than that's not
Speaker 1: the fucking case, but it's because we aren't taking care
Speaker 1: of people. And look at some of the maps where
Speaker 1: people are getting vaccinated, like in l A, like South
Speaker 1: l A, where a lot of people, majority of people
Speaker 1: that areas of majority of people color, barely any vaccinations
Speaker 1: getting out there Lancaster fucking barely. And it's not but
Speaker 1: it's not a fucking mistake or I'm sure there's a
Speaker 1: way to have these benign explanations, but to not actually
Speaker 1: put that at the forefront, say, we have to actually
Speaker 1: meet people where they are and when they needed to
Speaker 1: be safe and address this. You know, we're sorking up.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's every facet of American called like any
Speaker 1: time there's a stress test, anytime you look at any
Speaker 1: fastive American culture, American medicine, like just the um you know,
Speaker 1: down to who gets prescribed painkillers, like that, that is
Speaker 1: a thing that is racist. Yeah, I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: any when we're trying to address systemic and racial inequality
Speaker 1: without acknowledging that the thing we're trying to address it
Speaker 1: with is racist and white supremacist, it doesn't work. You
Speaker 1: can't with a broken tool, right if it's over seventy five,
Speaker 1: it needs to be there. But you know, you have
Speaker 1: to be a little more uh, I guess analytical, because
Speaker 1: there's many health experts that they are like, well, that's
Speaker 1: not gonna that's only gonn help mostly white people and
Speaker 1: the numbers. Yeah, it's that's it's not it's not a
Speaker 1: very intersexual approach at all. Um. Yeah, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's just it's it's all. It's overwhelming and hard
Speaker 1: to fathom. Yeah, I mean, look, it's that America is
Speaker 1: at the intersection of sucking supply and demand, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Let's uh talk about Joe Biden real quick.
Speaker 1: I just like to check him with where he's coming
Speaker 1: down on policies that affect Americans. It was Janet Yellen
Speaker 1: recently reported that in terms of how they're going to
Speaker 1: pay for various programs to help America get back after
Speaker 1: the pandemic, said they're pursuing corporate tax and capital gains taxes. Uh.
Speaker 1: She's open to discussing a wealth tax, but Biden is not. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then also just opened his first detention facility for
Speaker 1: immigrant children. So all the people who were like, finally
Speaker 1: Biden one and I can now celebrate because there will
Speaker 1: no longer be children in cages, so they're unaccompanied miners
Speaker 1: in overflow facilities, is what people and my Twitter replies
Speaker 1: are saying. Because I have an outrageous amount of like
Speaker 1: you know, like capital l liberal followers because of my
Speaker 1: reporting last summer um and every time I bring up
Speaker 1: stuff about Biden, I get like tens or like like
Speaker 1: dozens of dozens of people being like, oh but it's
Speaker 1: the first three months, or oh but he's still dealing
Speaker 1: with the best Trump left over, or oh well it's
Speaker 1: different because X, Y and Z, and it's like they're
Speaker 1: incapable of criticizing Biden because I don't know, it's it's
Speaker 1: a it's a weird thing because they're centering themselves when
Speaker 1: they when they defend Joe Biden, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: they're trying to because it doesn't really bother them, and
Speaker 1: the fact that it's bothering other people now like, well
Speaker 1: it should it, well no, but it's only And then
Speaker 1: now you're just hearing their rationalizations to why they aren't outraged,
Speaker 1: because really they should just be able to say, just
Speaker 1: dial it back objectively. Do we still want to put
Speaker 1: kids in cages? Do we not? Do we not want
Speaker 1: to reunite people like whether or not who, no matter
Speaker 1: who's the president. If that's the case, then why can't
Speaker 1: we demand that that happens, that we are reuniting families.
Speaker 1: And then, but here's the thing, Joe Biden, he's really
Speaker 1: they did a good move where you know, there was
Speaker 1: that deportation freeze that was blocked by a conservative judge
Speaker 1: and they said, well the judge blocked, the judge blocked it.
Speaker 1: What do you want to do, Well, then, motherfucker you
Speaker 1: the president start feeling some ship out, start cracking some skulls.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. It's like, yeah, I was. I was
Speaker 1: angry tweeting about that for a while, and I'm like like,
Speaker 1: it's like I've got you know, hundreds of people at
Speaker 1: this point and being like, oh well, one conservative said no,
Speaker 1: I guess we can't do anything else. We tried like no,
Speaker 1: you're the president's the most power Aventa the country are
Speaker 1: arguably um like like, if Ice is it, if I
Speaker 1: say it listening and there's a there's a judge blocking this,
Speaker 1: then start just dismantling Ice, like like you can you
Speaker 1: can do things here the most power that have the
Speaker 1: most political power that anyone else in the country, possibly
Speaker 1: the world. You're gonna let one conservative judge like stop.
Speaker 1: You know, it's just because you don't want to put
Speaker 1: in the work. Judge and fucking Joe Mansion are fucking
Speaker 1: fucking everything up because suddenly the man from West Virginia,
Speaker 1: he's the stunt queen of the Senate and he's like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: now my vote is really the deciding things, so let
Speaker 1: me fucking funk around with the OMB nominations or maybe
Speaker 1: Deb Holland for the Interior, who absolutely should be running
Speaker 1: the Interior. But he's trying to make noise like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know about that, Like, get the fuck out
Speaker 1: of here, because now he's found a way to be
Speaker 1: the you know a little bit of a power broker
Speaker 1: and ship and it's it's all getting funked up. And
Speaker 1: I think it's also placed into how like the capital
Speaker 1: capital D Democratic you know voters UM and and part
Speaker 1: of members. They're like so terrified of any criticism of
Speaker 1: the of the Democratic Party. Like always it's like, you know, oh,
Speaker 1: we can't criticize people right now, it's gonna affect the
Speaker 1: mid terms, and oh after the midterms, we can't criticize anyone,
Speaker 1: it's gonna affect the general It's like they can they
Speaker 1: can never take any criticism of the candidates because they
Speaker 1: feel like it's just an attack wholly on their idea
Speaker 1: of like progressiveness, UM, even when the criticism is coming
Speaker 1: from further left UM, just because they feel like any
Speaker 1: of it is they It's almost like they feel like
Speaker 1: the party is so fragile that under any criticism they'll
Speaker 1: fall apart. In the conservatives are going to get in UM.
Speaker 1: Actually it's their own egos that are so fragile and
Speaker 1: fall apart at any criticism because the people on the
Speaker 1: outside aren't looking at it like that, that's belt Way thinking,
Speaker 1: that's hell, thinking of like, yeah, you can't don't say
Speaker 1: this about them, because most people aren't like wonky enough
Speaker 1: to understand the optics arguments or the polling to see
Speaker 1: like why one thing doesn't work when most people think
Speaker 1: like I'm seeing that a majority of people want medicare
Speaker 1: for all, I'm seeing a majority of people want of
Speaker 1: an aggressive green new deal or path to renewable energy,
Speaker 1: and they that's like they just can't they can't really
Speaker 1: summon the energy to be like, wow, a majority of
Speaker 1: Americans are on this side. Let's now take that and
Speaker 1: March fourth and do good rather than you know, this
Speaker 1: whole other thing of being afraid of whatever criticisms are
Speaker 1: going to come on and then immediately water down legislation
Speaker 1: that helps no one or just the people that you
Speaker 1: want to help specifically. Yeah, I don't know. I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm so frustrated. I've lost I've lost at this point,
Speaker 1: probably thousands of Twitter followers because I'm just like rage
Speaker 1: tweeting about how Biden's not doing anything and I have
Speaker 1: all these like, you know, these people with like Biden
Speaker 1: Kamala user names like I don't high, don't care like
Speaker 1: you're you're now you're just you know you have like oh,
Speaker 1: I you know you have like because of like anti
Speaker 1: Trump stuff in your bio. And now you're the one
Speaker 1: quote unquote defending these unoccupied miners in over flow facilities
Speaker 1: like no, like, you're too like you're too offended to
Speaker 1: call it kids in cages. Now that we have a
Speaker 1: blue person in office, come on, yeah, you know, stress
Speaker 1: think that's just sucking the same ship. It's like, nope,
Speaker 1: fucking tunnel vision. Nothing is is wrong, but yeah, it's like,
Speaker 1: rather than getting mad at the people who are have
Speaker 1: the awareness and uh analytical skills to be like, this
Speaker 1: is not what he said he would do. This is
Speaker 1: not good objectively for children, send your outrage to the
Speaker 1: people that are keeping the kids in the cages. Why
Speaker 1: are you getting mad at the people who are making
Speaker 1: you realize that the people that the guy who's in office,
Speaker 1: who most people like he's not gonna do with any
Speaker 1: of this ship that it's turning out to be true.
Speaker 1: Start then start advocating for the people that if you
Speaker 1: really give a fuck, Yeah, but then they have to
Speaker 1: pause brunch and brunches so tasty. But like I tweeted
Speaker 1: about the fucking m attention scility today and you know,
Speaker 1: one of one of the replies from a person with
Speaker 1: the blue flag in their in their Twitter names the
Speaker 1: kids in cages thing was because they're using old walmarts
Speaker 1: to build cages. And how is large groups of children here?
Speaker 1: We have modular buildings used as schools. Are their cages?
Speaker 1: Are they just places where people get processed? I need
Speaker 1: more information? Terrible? How about this cage or not detained children?
Speaker 1: As you're looking at like fucking like shipping containers with
Speaker 1: like bars on the windows, Like that's the picture like
Speaker 1: a cage containers. It's a modular place that's like a school.
Speaker 1: The cages or these are tiny prisons from this company
Speaker 1: that does tiny houses from the TLC show, and they're
Speaker 1: great little how It's like, what the fuck? Why? Why
Speaker 1: are why are you going to bend your mind into
Speaker 1: saying because let's distill it down to the real argument,
Speaker 1: which is children should not be detained and separated from
Speaker 1: their parents, and people shouldn't be detained and separated for
Speaker 1: moving to a different country. I get the feeling, like
Speaker 1: the feeling of okay, but Republicans are so much worse,
Speaker 1: and like, strategically, if we're criticizing the Democrats, then uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we're the Republicans are gonna win the next thing.
Speaker 1: But like it really it's really starting to look like
Speaker 1: the thing they object to about the Republicans is less
Speaker 1: policy and more like the wording, Yeah, it's optics and
Speaker 1: like that they don't want to have that put in
Speaker 1: their face that that's what goes on. They want a smooth,
Speaker 1: like a cool looking president who or like a nice
Speaker 1: president who uh does the things that make their life
Speaker 1: possible behind the scenes, so they don't have to think
Speaker 1: about it. Like that's that's the thing that I feel
Speaker 1: like they're not admitting to themselves. Yeah, I mean, like
Speaker 1: I have seen as as many tweets as there are
Speaker 1: about like, you know, immigrants and I stuff that that
Speaker 1: I get from my like more you know, liberal center followers.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing for like people being like expressing
Speaker 1: like relief that that they don't feel obligated to check
Speaker 1: what he's tweeted today. It's like he's it's because it's
Speaker 1: like it's it's like an optics thing, right, It's like
Speaker 1: they don't want someone who looks rude but they don't
Speaker 1: really care about what's actually happening. It's like, it's it's
Speaker 1: what it's what like the facade is like or what
Speaker 1: you know, the optics are to themselves and their friends.
Speaker 1: It's like it's you know, it's it's the it's it's
Speaker 1: like the respectability politics. It's almost more important than actual policy.
Speaker 1: Or it's like someone who like talks about veganism, but
Speaker 1: like they couldn't for a second look at a meat
Speaker 1: processing facility. Yeah you know what I mean, it's like,
Speaker 1: fuck veganism, are you serious? Meat all fucking day? Don't
Speaker 1: show me what Like get the funk out, like you know,
Speaker 1: just fucking deal, look at the ship in its eye
Speaker 1: and then look at reality and then do what you
Speaker 1: gotta do, or just you know, start maybe have a
Speaker 1: little bit of self warness, like am I tricking myself
Speaker 1: a bit to protect myself from maybe thinking a little
Speaker 1: more critically? I mean, and like new things, you know
Speaker 1: a lot of these like new things, Like new things
Speaker 1: are always uncomfortable, right, and it's much easier to kind
Speaker 1: of ignore things and just feel comfortable, right, Like I
Speaker 1: I wish I could sometimes I wish I could just
Speaker 1: like disengage from everything and just you know, live like
Speaker 1: a regular person, because you know, I assume I assume
Speaker 1: it's similar to you how we're You're like so in
Speaker 1: tuned with all current events and all the horrible news,
Speaker 1: and it can be overwhelming and depressing, and it'd be
Speaker 1: nice if you could just you know, funk off into
Speaker 1: the forest and and and fun up to brunch and
Speaker 1: just not have to look at like not have to
Speaker 1: look at this stuff, just like be completely isolated. Right,
Speaker 1: It's like part of that is attractive. Um, but you
Speaker 1: know that's only possible if you come from from a
Speaker 1: place to vileedge, because if you if you aren't privileged,
Speaker 1: you can't do that. So now it should be people's
Speaker 1: obligation to learn about these new things and learn about
Speaker 1: these other solutions, even if they seem uncomfortable, because you
Speaker 1: have the ability to ignore them, but a lot of
Speaker 1: other people don't because it's their everyday life. Let's move
Speaker 1: on real quick to a story about words actually mattering,
Speaker 1: because first of all, that's something that we we're talking about.
Speaker 1: I think on yesterday's episode that um, you know the
Speaker 1: connection between the word kung flu being used by uh
Speaker 1: Donald Trump a year ago and the current rash of
Speaker 1: like hate crimes against elderly Asian and Asian American people. Um,
Speaker 1: there's uh. People are pushing back. Specifically, the Cherokee Nation
Speaker 1: Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. Is pushing back on Jeep
Speaker 1: to retire their Cherokee line of SUVs uh for what
Speaker 1: should be obvious reasons. Um, the original Jeep Cherokee was
Speaker 1: introduced in nineteen seventy four, so it's not like it
Speaker 1: hails from U. Turn of the Century's basically basically as
Speaker 1: old as my parents. Uh that's crazy, but yeah parents, Um, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: we're cool grandparents. But so jeep. Jeep issued a statement
Speaker 1: about how their vehicle names have been carefully chosen and
Speaker 1: nurtured over the years to honor and celebrate Native American
Speaker 1: people for their nobility, prowess, and pride. Um. But they're
Speaker 1: open to having a dialogue with Hoskin, which I'm sure
Speaker 1: would be in no way uh, you know, demoralizing and
Speaker 1: uh soul draining. Uh they but so jm are writer
Speaker 1: point it out the Jeep already retired the Cherokee branding uh,
Speaker 1: and then brought it back in two thousand two, they
Speaker 1: were like, okay, this is a bad look in two
Speaker 1: thousand two and changed the name that was the year
Speaker 1: I was born? Is it really yes, so I have
Speaker 1: a baby. But in two thousand two they changed the
Speaker 1: name to the jeep Liberty, but then in they went
Speaker 1: back to Cherokee. I didn't know this then, that's wild. Yes, So,
Speaker 1: like the reason that their statement is we want to
Speaker 1: be politically correct and we don't want to offend anybody. However,
Speaker 1: we're really opposed to stereotypes. But if you have a
Speaker 1: name that offends nobody, then you end up with a
Speaker 1: forgettable brand. Is what Jesus Christ, which god they are
Speaker 1: for of all? The name Liberty like pretty it's still
Speaker 1: cringe e still so bad. It's it's like they're they're
Speaker 1: blaming the US for the fact that they came up
Speaker 1: with a name that sounds like they were trying to
Speaker 1: rename French fries during the Iraq War, like and it's
Speaker 1: just like they're like, well, that wasn't successful, therefore we
Speaker 1: have to go back to a explicitly racist name. What
Speaker 1: the fuck they're so fu I mean whatever, Like again,
Speaker 1: this is just this is what America looks like now
Speaker 1: as as like most Americans have you know, are a
Speaker 1: little more informed than they were like from the maybe
Speaker 1: seventies consumer base, like a lot of it just as
Speaker 1: being like, oh god, like if we gotta get rid
Speaker 1: of all the sports teams, so many cars, and there's
Speaker 1: just like but then the thinking with these people that
Speaker 1: are behind them, like what do you want me to do?
Speaker 1: That the non racist thing didn't sell right exactly. They
Speaker 1: their decision to go back to the Cherokee after the
Speaker 1: Liberty failed was based on focus group testing. So it's
Speaker 1: that whole Yeah, like like you said, it's yeah, that
Speaker 1: doesn't that doesn't surprise me that they Yeah, that's actually
Speaker 1: that's actually not shocking. They also used to sell a
Speaker 1: Comanche and unsubtly a Comanche eliminator with ads featuring white
Speaker 1: people dressed like cowboys Jesus Christ, and there's a like
Speaker 1: broad history of this in cars. Pontiac is named after
Speaker 1: a real life Ottawa chief. Uh sold their cars using
Speaker 1: ads featuring tiny feathered cartoon Indian braves in quotes that
Speaker 1: was their words, working the cylinder and the engine like
Speaker 1: miniature slaves, making it faster. Yeah, So that's this is
Speaker 1: so much worse than I thought. Wow, yeah, this fucking
Speaker 1: image is I mean, you know, but that's this is
Speaker 1: the same ship as like any kind of you know,
Speaker 1: black face, like sambo type imagery of just straight up
Speaker 1: like look at these little colored people working their butts
Speaker 1: off for us to make life easy. Entremimal pancakes or
Speaker 1: it's like the same ship. Yeah, and we just got
Speaker 1: rid of anthremime. What are they gonna call I mean
Speaker 1: what look? So where does where is this gonna end?
Speaker 1: They're gonna keep calling it? No? No, no, no, no no,
Speaker 1: not unless I mean not unless Zeke Gang get something
Speaker 1: done to this podcast number two fifty on the charts.
Speaker 1: You can't even find us on the charts in the
Speaker 1: news category. We got this, y'all got it? Yeah, I don't,
Speaker 1: I mean, what the fun it's? Yeah, you'd hope at
Speaker 1: the very least, right, they could just make begin to
Speaker 1: make amends to be like, you know what, here's seventy
Speaker 1: billion dollars. Yeah, that's what I'm like. If you're gonna
Speaker 1: use it like with not to say that you can
Speaker 1: continue to write, but that would be a first step
Speaker 1: to people being like, yo, fuck all forever. You know what,
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean not to say that we weren't
Speaker 1: looking at this same brand over and over and over again,
Speaker 1: but damn but the looking at it over and over
Speaker 1: and over again and it being made to seem normal
Speaker 1: and acceptable is the problem, right, And it implicates us
Speaker 1: in there, you know, in that by like what you
Speaker 1: just said, that thought process is like how this ship works,
Speaker 1: and like why it's so toxic is like it's like, well,
Speaker 1: you guys are cool with it, so um right, oh
Speaker 1: you you weren't saying nothing, Oh now you want to
Speaker 1: make it okay? All right, woke warriors suddenly right, right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's yeah, that's the that's the hardest ship.
Speaker 1: Even like when you look at like in like real estate,
Speaker 1: trying people to being like yo, can't say master bedroom,
Speaker 1: mean say primary, right, I mean you gotta get rid
Speaker 1: of this like master slave, you know, sucking binary or
Speaker 1: relationship even just like oh the master bedroom. You know,
Speaker 1: it's just the a lot of things. It's funny too,
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of people who will have you see,
Speaker 1: like these topics come up where they're like, well that's
Speaker 1: what it doesn't matter, it's not what I'm not saying.
Speaker 1: It's I'm a slave master. Like I'm not saying I'm
Speaker 1: against indigenous people, but it's like, but yeah, that's where
Speaker 1: you have to say, you won't die right. If you
Speaker 1: can change the way you speak, right, you won't die right,
Speaker 1: because that would be a concern if you died because
Speaker 1: you could no longer say master bedroom. Then maybe we
Speaker 1: could have a little conversation here. But if it's just
Speaker 1: purely about changing, you know, thinking for two seconds before
Speaker 1: you speak, then just that's what we owe it to
Speaker 1: each other. That's how we how we start building the
Speaker 1: blocks to something that feels a little more equitable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that. Yeah. Part of that is I think
Speaker 1: when at least in my experience, we're talking like family
Speaker 1: and stuff about that, people like assume like once you
Speaker 1: and stuff up, they like they like get defensive in
Speaker 1: a weird way because they assume like you're like complying
Speaker 1: that they're like some you know, racist monster, and they
Speaker 1: feel like like like it's it's weird. It's like it
Speaker 1: basically it's because it plays into like the whole white
Speaker 1: fragility thing, which I feel like sometimes is people the
Speaker 1: way people talking about it's usually kind of not always helpful. Actually,
Speaker 1: but there is actually for in this instance, Yeah, that's that.
Speaker 1: That's that's that's that's very much. Um. What that kind
Speaker 1: of is is that you're being asked to do this
Speaker 1: thing that you felt was like this, You felt this
Speaker 1: was just so normal and regular. Need you put no
Speaker 1: thought into it, And now looking back, you're like scared
Speaker 1: to be um like accused or like it's scared to
Speaker 1: be like implied to have you know, not so great views,
Speaker 1: and you want to and you want so you push
Speaker 1: back on that. You It has almost like a backfire
Speaker 1: effect where like they want to prove so much so
Speaker 1: they have to like convince themselves that no, it's actually
Speaker 1: fine to say this thing because it doesn't actually mean
Speaker 1: anything that it gets turned into this and I almost
Speaker 1: want to just take people like it's okay, that's okay,
Speaker 1: that's okay, that's all right. I know I know this feels.
Speaker 1: I know you feel like you're being attacked right now
Speaker 1: because I said you shouldn't say master bedroom and it
Speaker 1: seems so innocuous. But I'm telling you the reason why
Speaker 1: is because it's it's evoking slavery. Okay, we don't want
Speaker 1: to do you agree, slaveries wrong right, Yes, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: not mad that you said that. Baby. That's this, This
Speaker 1: is how we learn. Somebody has to tell you. And
Speaker 1: then what you do is you say, okay, let me
Speaker 1: hear you, let me hear, let me get some knowledge,
Speaker 1: let me process that. Okay, I do agree slavery bad.
Speaker 1: I do agree that. I don't want to offend people,
Speaker 1: certainly not any black people I'm around, especially by being
Speaker 1: careless with saying things like this. Okay, So since I
Speaker 1: do agree with those things, now the ask is just
Speaker 1: just change, just change the vocab a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's all. Nobody's even smash you up, I know if
Speaker 1: And I think that's the thing is we always I
Speaker 1: think that's just how are how we work as people. Though,
Speaker 1: like we have as human beings, we have the greatest
Speaker 1: capacity to over blow a potential scenario in our minds.
Speaker 1: Were like you go, oh, this ship is gonna happen,
Speaker 1: and that's gonna lead to this, and this is gonna happen,
Speaker 1: and I'm going outside, people gonna scream at me and
Speaker 1: throw garbage at me. You know, like we all, we
Speaker 1: all have versions of blowing things out of proportion or
Speaker 1: making them a lot scarier before we get or actually
Speaker 1: enter the confrontation, the interaction, whatever the event, and it's
Speaker 1: always not as bad as we think. It's never as
Speaker 1: bad as we think. And I think that's part of
Speaker 1: the thing is a lot of we get Wow, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to say ablest language. I'm not. This
Speaker 1: is not how I think. But then you have to
Speaker 1: calm down and saying be like, right, I I gotta
Speaker 1: do is just check a couple of ways I'm describing
Speaker 1: things or how I was just lazily expressing something. And
Speaker 1: in fact, it's forced, it forces you to actually be
Speaker 1: a little more creative with how you speak. Like in
Speaker 1: a way, it's like kind of you can, you will,
Speaker 1: you will evolve for the better, and you're you're gaining
Speaker 1: more compassion, You're getting more you're being able to implaus
Speaker 1: with other people's experiences. But I'm not racist, but I'm
Speaker 1: not racist, Like Okay, well it's okay, yeah, that's not
Speaker 1: that's not it. That's not what we're saying. Just can
Speaker 1: but can you move forward? That's all compassion for yourself.
Speaker 1: Like a lot of people fucked up. A lot of
Speaker 1: people funked up in the same way it's not. You
Speaker 1: don't have to freak out and assume that that makes
Speaker 1: you a worse person. And all of us will continue
Speaker 1: to funk up as people, not just with how we
Speaker 1: use languagees even in our lives, how we interact with
Speaker 1: our loved ones and everything like we will We're not
Speaker 1: fucking perfect, but overall, like even in those moments, you
Speaker 1: really have to be able to be kind enough to
Speaker 1: yourself to say, it's like be your own. You know,
Speaker 1: if you have that grandparent you had a good relationship with, like,
Speaker 1: it's okay, baby, don't worry. Don't worry, It's gonna be okay.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be okay. That's you gotta tell yourself even
Speaker 1: if when it feels bad, it's it's not going to
Speaker 1: be that bad. Mhm uh, well, Garrison, it has been
Speaker 1: a pleasure having you on the daily zycas man. Where

Speaker 1: that lays out a really good, like kind of story.
Speaker 1: They made like a bad TV movie in the eighties,
Speaker 1: and then they made they made a German film about
Speaker 1: about a decade ago. That's actually not terrible. But Americans
Speaker 1: are going to watch a German film, right, so it's yeah,

Speaker 1: recommends you listen to. Mom, what is two days record
Speaker 1: we're talking about? We're talking about instrumental music. Now this
Speaker 1: is a little bit different than what Garrison is talking about. Like,
Speaker 1: I know, there's just solid instrumental music, fantastic instrumental music.
Speaker 1: Producers will go out their minds making beats and one
Speaker 1: full compositions with real instruments. But there's also this thing
Speaker 1: in Japan and it's it's like it's all over. But
Speaker 1: in Japanese there's a genre we call b g M
Speaker 1: background music, okay, and it's just ship that plays that
Speaker 1: is it's not it's not really meant to get too
Speaker 1: much of your attention. It's just there to be a
Speaker 1: fucking like a wallpapers, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 1: I listened to a couple of different playlists, like one's
Speaker 1: just like a Coffee Lounge and it's just a little piano,
Speaker 1: little samba, little three piece thing. And the tracks are nice,
Speaker 1: they're easy, they don't distract. And if you have like
Speaker 1: a little speak or something, play that ship all day
Speaker 1: and you I'm telling you, it will raise your mood.
Speaker 1: So this is a track from the album Coffee Lounge
Speaker 1: from the artist Cafe Music b g M channel on Spotify.
Speaker 1: And this track is called wild Steam okay, And this
Speaker 1: is just some straight b g M background music. Like
Speaker 1: back in the day in Japanese hotel rooms, they used
Speaker 1: to have like built in radios in the night stands
Speaker 1: that were between like a twin bed type room, and
Speaker 1: it will be a button or a knob that's at
Speaker 1: b GM or you could just literally crank up your
Speaker 1: B g M up or down just for the vibes.
Speaker 1: And it was never really like good music. It was
Speaker 1: just vibes, you know, and not like reggae vibes, like
Speaker 1: straight up piano jazz vibes. But I love it. That's
Speaker 1: what I check this one out. Yeah, all right, we
Speaker 1: suggest you go check that out. The Daily Zika is
