Speaker 1: forced to be reckoned with with its own gravitational pull.
Speaker 1: Welcome Yahmie Loftus Jamie loftuz Bernan. On the day I
Speaker 1: was born, Darren Zamboni's all gathered around and the games

Speaker 1: you violated the Olympics pristine copyright? Was that? Was that
Speaker 1: what precipitated the abandoning of at Hamburger phone. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: got deep platformed by the International Olympics Committee. So weird,
Speaker 1: so weird. Yet Rudy's still out here dropping receipts of
Speaker 1: his connections to god knows what at this point. But yeah,
Speaker 1: don't funk with the people organizations on this planet currently,
Speaker 1: So that for them, well, thank you for stopping by.
Speaker 1: You know, Jack had important things to do, so I
Speaker 1: was I was gonna say, if he asked me to
Speaker 1: sub for him while he got the vaccine, I would
Speaker 1: um flip a table. Yeah, but I'd start flipping tables
Speaker 1: because you know, well I caught him at the makeup
Speaker 1: store because he was looking for prosthetics to look like
Speaker 1: an elderly man to jump the line. So we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens allegedly. I don't want to cast his version,
Speaker 1: but I saw that ship with my eyes. Anyway, we
Speaker 1: have to, you know, we have to introduce our guests
Speaker 1: right now. You know, somebody who's been on the show
Speaker 1: once twice? Is this thrice now? Yeah? This is thrice times. Nice?
Speaker 1: Please a welcome back from from Portland, Oregon. I mean,
Speaker 1: one of the one of the just focal points of
Speaker 1: political discourse at the moment depending on what party you're in.
Speaker 1: Tory Williams Douglas. Hi, I'm so excited to be here
Speaker 1: in my birthday. Yeah, what's that like with everybody? I
Speaker 1: feel like that's been the punching bag for everyone deflecting
Speaker 1: about the insurrection, like oh, but I but okay, but
Speaker 1: you guys, we let a dumpster on fire outside of
Speaker 1: the police station downtown. I don't know if you know,
Speaker 1: that's the same as like domestic terrorism. And I remember
Speaker 1: a lot of the people who stormed the capitol were
Speaker 1: being disappeared in vans too that I felt like it
Speaker 1: was another thing that was disappeared onto flights that they
Speaker 1: had booked previously, because that's how you do a coup.
Speaker 1: As you show up, you're like, I'm gonna be here
Speaker 1: for three nights, okay, Hyatt, And then then I got
Speaker 1: back home. But let's not, let's be real, I'm not
Speaker 1: I can't really eat up in all my vacation times.
Speaker 1: The revolution. The revolution has gotta be on my schedule.
Speaker 1: That's it's so weird too. It's like, you know, at
Speaker 1: the same time, we're all still burdened by laboring for money.
Speaker 1: So like, even as much as you want to turn
Speaker 1: up and kick off the revolution. You can't cross your boss.
Speaker 1: You can't book that up is your health care if
Speaker 1: you had Christ but maybe we could, maybe we can
Speaker 1: fight for that too. But anyway, that's a whole other
Speaker 1: round of realizations we're gonna have in the country. But
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about we're gonna get into
Speaker 1: before we kick off our talking here. First, we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about some cool math from President elect Joe Biden
Speaker 1: about two dollar checks. We'll see how that will check
Speaker 1: in on that story what has become of the two
Speaker 1: thousand dollar checks. We'll also talk about Senator James Langford
Speaker 1: from Oklahoma pulling a moment where I don't It's just
Speaker 1: one of the most disingenuous moments of someone knowing what
Speaker 1: the funk they were doing and then acting like, oh my,
Speaker 1: oh God, was that voting to throw out the results
Speaker 1: of the election was gonna disinfrench I did well, I
Speaker 1: didn't mean that people of color from the state of Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: So we'll get into that. We'll talk a little bit,
Speaker 1: just one last time, just talk about the wall, because
Speaker 1: the president is about to be out. We don't have
Speaker 1: talk about the wall ever again. But there's a couple
Speaker 1: things I just wanted to bring up about the wall
Speaker 1: before we before he exits the building, and then we'll
Speaker 1: also talk about UM. Just there's some developments from that
Speaker 1: that like story that happened over the break about that.
Speaker 1: Remember there was a flight where someone had needed CPR
Speaker 1: midflight due to COVID. Okay, well there's been like then,
Speaker 1: there there's a few levels of developments that I hadn't realized,
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about that or maybe it'll be old
Speaker 1: news to you and you can just laugh your way
Speaker 1: through it. But before we get to any of that,
Speaker 1: we gotta ascar, guest Tory, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history that is revealing you know about who you
Speaker 1: are or who you've become, or who you are becoming,
Speaker 1: or what pill you're taking. Yeah, I got red pilled
Speaker 1: you guys, So yeah, my search history. Honestly, I've been
Speaker 1: reading everything that I can about Ted Cruz and whether
Speaker 1: or not he can be charged with sedition and throwing
Speaker 1: out of the Senate because he was kind of like
Speaker 1: my target for UM. I wanted to make it so
Speaker 1: that he couldn't run. And next, I think is when
Speaker 1: he's up for re election, something like that, um, and
Speaker 1: so I've been like trying to figure out, you know,
Speaker 1: what his weaknesses are, like who has a dirt on him?
Speaker 1: And so, but then he did this thing where you know,
Speaker 1: he basically committed treason. So I'm just trying to see,
Speaker 1: like what my options are. Yeah, right for your doing
Speaker 1: some cool OPO right now? Oh hell yeah, that's our
Speaker 1: you know. Back in the day when I used to
Speaker 1: do dirt digging for money. Uh, I used to have
Speaker 1: all these like sock puppet Facebook accounts and shipped to
Speaker 1: try and be friends with their kids and figure out
Speaker 1: what they're Yeah, yeah, they're like, yeah, that's totally bro.
Speaker 1: And then you see like party photos and you're like
Speaker 1: and then there's really nothing. But it's a waste of time.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I totally get that. I mean you think, like,
Speaker 1: you know, Holly and Cruise, as much as they thought
Speaker 1: they were making a good move, it's you know, it's
Speaker 1: was like the tide is turning. But at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, it's so hard to know because there's
Speaker 1: such little appetite to hold people accountable when you get
Speaker 1: to that level. I don't know why. It's like they're
Speaker 1: all friends and they don't give a funk about the
Speaker 1: people they're representing. Do you remember this is this is
Speaker 1: really old Ted Cruise gossip and it's not even good.
Speaker 1: But you remember when everyone was like Ted Cruise drinks
Speaker 1: lukewarm soup for lunch every day. There was like someone
Speaker 1: on Ted this is like four five years ago now,
Speaker 1: like back when he was running for president, where they're
Speaker 1: like Ted Cruise, what does he eat on the campaign trail?
Speaker 1: Lukewarm soup every fucking day? Serial killer? That's yeah, that's absolute. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like you could take remember the old Drake,
Speaker 1: the type sort of memes that they used to do
Speaker 1: back like eight years ago on the internet. He'd like
Speaker 1: drink the type of dude who opened the door for
Speaker 1: himself and be like why thank you, or like drink
Speaker 1: the type of dude who'll be you at the urinal
Speaker 1: with his pasts all the way down. Um, I feel
Speaker 1: like you could just do Ted Cruise now and they
Speaker 1: all hold as well, they're probably all factually true. Yeah yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: Um so wait, so are you gonna run? Is that
Speaker 1: what you're saying? You're gonna run for Senate? And I
Speaker 1: just want to make sure I don't want to one
Speaker 1: of those people. I don't want to sell it out
Speaker 1: from Portland. But you go in and you just you
Speaker 1: just do like the thing. I'm like, yeah, maybe i'll
Speaker 1: give voted out, but I will be Buck Wilde while
Speaker 1: I'm in here. You know, it's when you it's when
Speaker 1: it's when you pursue re election, when things get done exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah we should. I mean we definitely need to primary cruise, like,
Speaker 1: let's do that. But yeah, I'm just afraid that I
Speaker 1: would be too tempted by power to keep my personal
Speaker 1: morality and ethics someplace. Wow. Okay, that's good. So you
Speaker 1: know it would it would corrupt you, you feel well,
Speaker 1: I don't want I don't want to give it the
Speaker 1: opportunity to do so, because that would write then the
Speaker 1: entire purpose of like work. Yeah, absolutely, I'll see you know,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm open to it. Maybe it'll corrupt me,
Speaker 1: who knows, you know, I don't know. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: I'm down to try it. Please do yeah, and I'll
Speaker 1: be like, what are you doing? Nice just because they're
Speaker 1: like okay to massive real estate development over who could
Speaker 1: have been affordable housing, just because they gave you a
Speaker 1: massive donation, it might re election keeping. What's wrong with
Speaker 1: you guys? Literally every time I protest outside of city
Speaker 1: Counselor's house, they're like, stop, not even funny. People trying
Speaker 1: to sleep, And it's like, yeah, people are trying to
Speaker 1: live in like with you know, a roof over their head.
Speaker 1: So and you decided to just take the lee for
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, Like it should be fashionable, fashionable
Speaker 1: just to go in there do the right thing. But
Speaker 1: I don't give a fun I think I'm here to
Speaker 1: get reelected, bro, I'm here to do the fucking work.
Speaker 1: I have thought about I have thought about primary one
Speaker 1: of the old white guys who's like in the US,
Speaker 1: like Oregon us in it because they're all Democrats except
Speaker 1: for one, Like I can join the squad. But then
Speaker 1: I'm just like again, when I lose, like my morality,
Speaker 1: would I be like, oh, we gotta you know, we
Speaker 1: gotta make these trade offs. And then it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a slippery slope. And it likes to say I
Speaker 1: always hear is like my buddy who works in government,
Speaker 1: He's like, we just need more people of like good
Speaker 1: conscience to work in the bureaucracy too. He's like, there's
Speaker 1: so many things that get fucked up because we focus
Speaker 1: on elected officials, but when it comes down to the
Speaker 1: people who are like allocating the money and figuring out
Speaker 1: how to do that, it's a whole other layer of
Speaker 1: lack of imagination, lack of like purpose. And you know,
Speaker 1: he's always like, I'm just saying, man, I wish you'd
Speaker 1: say that more like elected office is good, but like
Speaker 1: we also need people who understand what needs to happen
Speaker 1: to also work like in for the municipality as well.
Speaker 1: As much as it might see anathematos some people, it's
Speaker 1: like there's a whole other layer of gridlock there too,
Speaker 1: because you've got lifers in there who are like, oh no,
Speaker 1: I've been here for forty years, not giving a funk
Speaker 1: you think I'm going to start, Like, imagine your job, right,
Speaker 1: any everybody who goes a job, you look at like
Speaker 1: the older, higher up senior people to you when you enter, Like, man,
Speaker 1: these motherfucker's don't get it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Every job is like that. You're like, wait till they're
Speaker 1: out and I'll get this motherfucker running right. Um, Now,
Speaker 1: imagine that for not changing for decades when it comes
Speaker 1: to the bureaucracy and you're like, yeah, yeah, local government, man,
Speaker 1: it's important sometimes, Tory, what is something thinks underrated? Underrated?
Speaker 1: Public health education? Public health education is what I'm ranting
Speaker 1: about right now. Imagine if people knew, like how vaccines worked.
Speaker 1: Imagine just imagine this world with me, where we taught
Speaker 1: kids in high school how vaccines works, just the general stuff,
Speaker 1: the general stuff if we taught if we taught kids like, hey,
Speaker 1: so we live in a community and that means that,
Speaker 1: like your health affects the people that are around you.
Speaker 1: I mean, we live in a society and we truly, yeah,
Speaker 1: we we have a man We're like, yeah, we're very
Speaker 1: I find myself like you realize how these are literacy points?
Speaker 1: Are these blind spots you have? Like we're financial illiteracy.
Speaker 1: I think it's just wildly pervasive for like our generation
Speaker 1: in general, most people overall, but like specifically, I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm constantly talking to my friends being like, what
Speaker 1: do I what's the thing for retiring? And my pro
Speaker 1: we're mid thirty's, it's it's too late, it's too late. Well,
Speaker 1: we've we've been going, we've been living too long not
Speaker 1: knowing what to do. But yeah, I feel like with
Speaker 1: the public health stuff, it's also quite apparent with vaccine talk. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, well, what what sort of public health um
Speaker 1: education did you get? I feel like the closest I
Speaker 1: ever really got was like sexually transmitted stuff. But outside
Speaker 1: of that, like we didn't get much in terms of
Speaker 1: like community health was a totally mysterious concept to me,
Speaker 1: Like we just learned basically nothing. They were just like,
Speaker 1: here hold a basketball and say you have your periods
Speaker 1: so you don't have to actually play. Like that was
Speaker 1: my entire health education. Oh my god. Well, I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: Like also, I mean anatomy is also kind of important
Speaker 1: to teach the kids. Yes, turns out, but you know,
Speaker 1: we have YouTube now, so nobody has to teach anymore.
Speaker 1: I was just saying the other day, how like love
Speaker 1: Line basically taught me most of the ship I knew
Speaker 1: about my own body, like in the late nineties, and
Speaker 1: ship it took being in my bed like with the
Speaker 1: earphones onto my radio because you know they're talking that
Speaker 1: wild sex shit. Okay, rock um was how I would
Speaker 1: hear like just very direct conversation about genitalia any kind
Speaker 1: of STD any kind of like reproductive health question. Whereas before,
Speaker 1: because I went to you know, Lutheran school, you basically
Speaker 1: learned how to like it's like all right, little girls
Speaker 1: go on this room, boys go with the creepy football coach,
Speaker 1: and you will take classes on how to just take
Speaker 1: care of your genitals or something. And that was like
Speaker 1: the extent of it. It didn't feel very complete, right, Yeah, yep.
Speaker 1: I also think because there's so many like anti um
Speaker 1: sex aid crusaders, if we put it under the umbrella
Speaker 1: of public health, maybe we could sneak some more effective
Speaker 1: sex ad in there. Yeah, or then they this is
Speaker 1: why we need to defund public health because they're teaching
Speaker 1: our kids how to be responsible with Yeah, defund public health. Yeah,
Speaker 1: do it. Um. And lastly, Tori, what is something you
Speaker 1: think it's overrated? Well, I mean clearly, unity is way overrated.
Speaker 1: We all got to come together, you guys, you guys,
Speaker 1: what did we do for these last five years that
Speaker 1: you you think that, like we should just come together? Now?
Speaker 1: What have we been doing? Like border balls? What you're
Speaker 1: talking about? No, like stop trying to sow division? Literally, please,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? I don't know what blaze of
Speaker 1: gas lighting just like a last truly yes, that's why
Speaker 1: they like on Wednesday before the insurrection kicked off and
Speaker 1: this in the Senate they wanted to talk about like
Speaker 1: you know, when Mitch McConnell gave his grand like it's over,
Speaker 1: I was like, I was just doing them like gas
Speaker 1: light feste has kicked off in fucking earnest because it
Speaker 1: was it was so infuriating to have all of these
Speaker 1: people who have been raw raying this ship since fucking
Speaker 1: and some earlier to now act like they're like and
Speaker 1: I just you know, where have we come? And it's
Speaker 1: really time we moved past this disgusting president liked mcconnall
Speaker 1: have literally like Aaron Sorkin do punch up on his
Speaker 1: shitty fucking speech. I was just like, God, damn that
Speaker 1: whole that whole Senate the beginning of that Senate meeting,
Speaker 1: like Aaron Sorkin is at home just stroking his pp
Speaker 1: on this one like this is it's such bullshit? Uh
Speaker 1: what do we do? How do you you know? Who
Speaker 1: do you want to unify with? Who do we unite?
Speaker 1: The people who are actively like have an articulated like
Speaker 1: plan of just you know, presenting themselves as an existential
Speaker 1: threat to the other. Is that what we're supposed to begin? Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: come on in, come on in. It's like you've only
Speaker 1: told us for decades that you want to destroy us,
Speaker 1: so um, yeah, please join our party. Actually we're just
Speaker 1: we're just conservatives in disguise, you guys. It's fine, and
Speaker 1: it's like, but hold on, but I don't know this.
Speaker 1: This can't be. I'm pretty sure you're not here for
Speaker 1: you actually stand for nothing except for minority rule of
Speaker 1: this class of people, this group of white America. That's
Speaker 1: really because I don't see anything tangible, like a platform
Speaker 1: that says that would speak to someone who isn't conservative
Speaker 1: and be like, oh, well hold on, look what they're
Speaker 1: doing here with with you know, a debt relief or
Speaker 1: you know, rent relief for people during the pandemic. Oh,
Speaker 1: this is an interesting way to to to cover um,
Speaker 1: like increasing wages for educators. Oh that's interesting. No, that's
Speaker 1: none of that. It's like, so what do you know,
Speaker 1: It's like this is bullshit, bullshit, No, sorry, no, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's true, so true. But you know whatever, helping
Speaker 1: people with their rent is communism and I don't know
Speaker 1: if you have a communism has a death toll, and
Speaker 1: I'm told by the right the capitalism does not have
Speaker 1: a death toll. So fun facts. Boy, Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: what I'm told. I'm just you know, it might be,
Speaker 1: it might be, it might not be real. But you know,
Speaker 1: I just didn't though I was. I end a feeling
Speaker 1: like not having access to capital has never caused someone
Speaker 1: to die. Please tell me more. I'm not that I
Speaker 1: can tell that doesn't make sense, That doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: But like a for profit healthcare system, people making seven
Speaker 1: dollars an hour, right, Like we'll see, like we're saying,
Speaker 1: you know, I was saying, even flippantly at the top
Speaker 1: of the show, like we'll see how many of these
Speaker 1: painful realizations still have to be made, you know. Like again,
Speaker 1: it was like it took people to watch a slow
Speaker 1: motion murder on camera to be like, oh wow, racism
Speaker 1: in policing and just generally in the country, huh huh.
Speaker 1: Then it took people storming a capital for then the
Speaker 1: elites to be like, huh is this uh? I thought
Speaker 1: the extremism stuff was just like like jokey stuff, Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe something, Yeah, it really it's unfortunate that it takes
Speaker 1: so much just chaos and pain and violence, you know,
Speaker 1: before there's even like a sensation that attention has to
Speaker 1: be drawn in that direction. So has like a harsher
Speaker 1: reaction than the Senate. That means, well, uh, let's let's
Speaker 1: move on and take a break and we'll come back
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about, you know, just what's just the
Speaker 1: state of things. See what the COVID relief package is
Speaker 1: gonna look like. But we'll do that right after this
Speaker 1: and we're back. And Joseph our Biden, he doesn't lie
Speaker 1: when it comes well, let me finish. When it comes
Speaker 1: to him saying he wants to reach across the aisle,
Speaker 1: he truly does not lie about that. He is one.
Speaker 1: He's laying his suit jacket across and like, yes, please
Speaker 1: walk all over it over here, please. Uh yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: so his you know, at one point nine trillion dollar
Speaker 1: COVID relief package rolled out at the end of last week,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people are like, oh my god, wow,
Speaker 1: this is great. There is stuff like being in there
Speaker 1: that people need. Sure, there's also a lot of shortcomings
Speaker 1: and a lot of deception that I agree with other
Speaker 1: people who um are a little who are scratching their
Speaker 1: head at this on for multiple reasons. Um. Now again, yes,
Speaker 1: there is good things in there, like extending um the
Speaker 1: unemployment benefits like that was needed, obviously, increasing the three
Speaker 1: per week to four hundred. Great uh evictions. They're saying
Speaker 1: fifty billion dollars in rent relief, which is great, fantastic. However,
Speaker 1: experts say we need about seventy to do this right,
Speaker 1: to not actually to not actually have that fall onto
Speaker 1: people and completely burden them and bury them. So, okay,
Speaker 1: that's fine, you got fifty to seventy. Maybe you can
Speaker 1: make that up. There's maybe there's time, who knows. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but I just want to point out this
Speaker 1: two thousand dollar check thing because if you paid attention
Speaker 1: the last few weeks, two thousand dollar checks has been
Speaker 1: like the fucking you know menu item everyone's been looking at.
Speaker 1: And even Donald Trump manutes to be like, yep, two
Speaker 1: k that was a wild day. That was a wild day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we'll both candidates and Georgia were running on
Speaker 1: the two thousand dollars stimulant, like everyone was talking two
Speaker 1: thousand dollars and now all of a sudden it's this
Speaker 1: cute little addition problem. Yeah, it's so okay. I know,
Speaker 1: I said two thousand. I know, I Joseph R. Biden
Speaker 1: even myself came to George and said, hey, uh, black people,
Speaker 1: help me get us off and war knock in here,
Speaker 1: and I'm cutting two thousand dollar checks. Fucking on the
Speaker 1: twenty at twelve oh one, family, it's on cut to
Speaker 1: the Senate. The it's been flipped. Uh, they've delivered the
Speaker 1: two senators and now we're seeing fourteen hundred dollar checks.
Speaker 1: Now you're saying, Jamie, four okay, here's okay. I know,
Speaker 1: I said two thousand. But hold on, hold on, hold on, okay,
Speaker 1: So where's okay? Let me finish? Okay? In December? How
Speaker 1: much was the checks that they approved in December? How
Speaker 1: much was that numerica? They were they were okay? And
Speaker 1: I said how much I'm gonna give people? You said
Speaker 1: you were going to give us two thousand? James, No, no no, no,
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, But what am I saying? Now?
Speaker 1: What's the check I'm cutting? But the checks i'm cutting now,
Speaker 1: you said they're going to be okay, four teen hundred
Speaker 1: plus six hundred equals. I don't think that's relevant to
Speaker 1: what we're talking. Well, on January I had to add, well,
Speaker 1: you didn't see when I said two thousand dollars. I
Speaker 1: actually there was somebody behind me holding up an asterisk
Speaker 1: on a on a fucking placard. Oh yeah, they're taxing
Speaker 1: the two thousand dollars, that's all. Yeah, So we're looking
Speaker 1: at a thing where yes, two thousand dollars was dangled
Speaker 1: in front of people, and now we're doing the thing
Speaker 1: of like, oh, well, what I meant was six hundred
Speaker 1: from December that most of people a lot of people
Speaker 1: have got, and then fourteen hundred that's already we're beginning
Speaker 1: this slippery slope of bullshit, um, which isn't a surprise.
Speaker 1: This is why you know, I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people we're going into this or like, no one's expecting
Speaker 1: Joe Biden to actually deliver on any of this ship sadly,
Speaker 1: but all we all we have is the opportunity just
Speaker 1: to delay, you know, the nonsense we saw from January
Speaker 1: six from becoming like totally every day a lot of
Speaker 1: things is like, right, it's a the packages one point nine,
Speaker 1: so it's under the two trillion that apparently Republicans had
Speaker 1: such a hard time dealing with so you figure, okay,
Speaker 1: so by kneecap in the two thousand and four you've
Speaker 1: managed to bring that cost down to make it palatable
Speaker 1: for Republicans. But my question is these people were just
Speaker 1: raw raying the the insurrection. There's the GOP is now
Speaker 1: a sedition party, and you still want to give them
Speaker 1: a seat at the table and act as if any
Speaker 1: objection they would have is valid. That's where I'm now, like,
Speaker 1: what what mere days after still promising two thousand two?
Speaker 1: Like it just doesn't I don't know, And it makes
Speaker 1: me like you're totally right that no one actually expects
Speaker 1: him to come through with absolutely anything that he promised.
Speaker 1: But the bar is so like below the floor, like
Speaker 1: several layers deep into the crust of the earth for
Speaker 1: this administration, and I know that it's it's like, I'm
Speaker 1: glad people are piste off about it because I know
Speaker 1: people are running out of energy um for things to
Speaker 1: allocate kissed off about. But this it's it's ridiculous. It's
Speaker 1: a like a I mean, everyone's posting two tweets from
Speaker 1: Joe Biden made two like three to four days apart,
Speaker 1: where he flips on the promise in real time, and
Speaker 1: it's like you can't. It's you know, he finds enough
Speaker 1: money to like to do all his ship like there
Speaker 1: there's no reason that he can't keep this one promise.
Speaker 1: It's also terrible optics for that administration, Like I don't
Speaker 1: think that they actually truly give a funk about people
Speaker 1: in a meaningful way. But even just from a pr standpoint,
Speaker 1: this is like an extremely like shortsighted, ridiculous thing to do,
Speaker 1: Like I just don't how like how not smart do
Speaker 1: they think? We are apparently ridiculously not smart or they
Speaker 1: completely are out of touch with what people are needing
Speaker 1: right now, you know what? More than that that, it's like,
Speaker 1: well it's four hundred. I think they do know though,
Speaker 1: It's like they know, they know that they're not giving
Speaker 1: people enough. But it wasn't that that sweet that was
Speaker 1: going around last month of like six dollars is what
Speaker 1: rich people think. Poor people think is a lot of money.
Speaker 1: They're like they're still going like this is still a
Speaker 1: lot of money. Yeah, exactly. I think it ends there
Speaker 1: without being like what that difference is when you have
Speaker 1: a child with special needs, or you have a child
Speaker 1: or maybe a parent, you tell a relative or a
Speaker 1: partner like things very they vary for different people, and
Speaker 1: to to act like six hundred dollars it's truly going
Speaker 1: to mean the difference, unfortunately, between life and death. I assume,
Speaker 1: just based on how the pandemics panning out, how just
Speaker 1: everything we're seeing in the and even you know that
Speaker 1: viral video, unfortunate viral video of that mother who was
Speaker 1: like sobbing about how she couldn't afford insulin, which is
Speaker 1: unfortunately very normal and tragical, But six hundred dollars do
Speaker 1: you want to fucking go back on that? I think
Speaker 1: that's what's ridiculous. And you know, you see some people
Speaker 1: there's like, you know, some Biden stands coming out in
Speaker 1: the media, whether it's people being like wow, really impressed,
Speaker 1: like just completely blowing past the fact that he said
Speaker 1: two thousand and that's four, to just be like this
Speaker 1: is so great, blah blah blah. There's something there's like
Speaker 1: a Jazzebel article it is like I can't believe I'm
Speaker 1: yas queening Joe Biden. And to your point, Jamie, that's
Speaker 1: how low the bar is. It's like, well, hold on
Speaker 1: your only yes, queening Joe Biden because the bar is
Speaker 1: like subterranean at the moment, and there's no it's just
Speaker 1: because you saw the top of his bald head coming
Speaker 1: out the dirt. You're like, oh, there he is. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's just not a good time to
Speaker 1: like start licking that boot, Like why, why right now
Speaker 1: would you be inclined to lick a boot for someone
Speaker 1: who is not even giving you what he promised three
Speaker 1: days ago? Like yeah, you know, and and people are
Speaker 1: so I mean it's like everyone you know, and I
Speaker 1: know that everyone is desperate for him to be the
Speaker 1: president so that the current president is not the president.
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that, uh, we have to lick this
Speaker 1: man's boot. We don't. And I ana w yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's again a lot of people, will you know
Speaker 1: the other more you know, establishment logic or I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: you got to see what you can pass. You gotta
Speaker 1: see what you can pass, and we look, Joe Biden
Speaker 1: knows he went through the same exercise in the Great
Speaker 1: Recession when he was with the Vice president and they
Speaker 1: tried to pass the stimulus bill that economists are like seven,
Speaker 1: that's that's not even in what the a you're gonna
Speaker 1: do with that, and like, well, stimulate the economy, Like,
Speaker 1: fuck you will, that's nothing. I'm telling you, I'm a
Speaker 1: fucking economy. This us The group of people you consulted
Speaker 1: with that that is not enough money. And then they said,
Speaker 1: well we can't get Republicans to degree. Okay, then but
Speaker 1: that isn't enough, So what the And it kicked off
Speaker 1: a very slow recovery because of that, and we're we're
Speaker 1: looking down the exact like not the exact same, but
Speaker 1: we're in a very similar situation where we have experts
Speaker 1: saying it's a lot of money, but unfortunately, this is
Speaker 1: what it's going to take if you want to take
Speaker 1: care of American citizens. Um. And based on the other
Speaker 1: things I'm seeing, billionaires did fine, So I think you
Speaker 1: might have some money you can come and collect, scrape
Speaker 1: up a little bit to to offset a little bit
Speaker 1: of this. But yeah, yeah, absolutely, I mean I think
Speaker 1: that what is what's so fascinating about all of this
Speaker 1: US right, is that the the the extra unemployment, it
Speaker 1: is really what kept the economy from tanking like back
Speaker 1: in April and May, right because people still had so
Speaker 1: people still have the ability to buy the things that
Speaker 1: they needed, right, And so I think to say even
Speaker 1: even though it's like, oh, well it's six and like
Speaker 1: maybe that's a ton of money to some people, and
Speaker 1: maybe it's not. I don't really know. Some people don't
Speaker 1: deserve it quote unquote, right, that's always like the argument
Speaker 1: on the right. It's like, well, rich people don't deserve
Speaker 1: two dollars. But it worked, right, It worked to give
Speaker 1: people the extra money. It worked. It kept our economy
Speaker 1: from bottoming out, you know. And if we just added
Speaker 1: that to like taxing Jeff Bezos, like maybe we could
Speaker 1: break even. Yeah. Yeah, But I mean it's funny because
Speaker 1: these billionaires spend it's cheaper for them to literally weaponize
Speaker 1: the ignorance of people on the right to try and
Speaker 1: storm a capital then pay their taxes. It's like, for real,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, the long run, is cheaper for
Speaker 1: me to throw all this money like dark money, pack money, um,
Speaker 1: into fucking around with governance then to actually pay taxes.
Speaker 1: That's kind of the trade off here, Like they do
Speaker 1: that because that's the way they can keep ship. Like.
Speaker 1: So that's another just hopefully an element that I think
Speaker 1: will be hopefully be brought to light with the mainstream media,
Speaker 1: when if you know, if these investigations are actually going
Speaker 1: to truly begin revealing the sources of how a lot
Speaker 1: of these people are funded. Um, and you know the
Speaker 1: platform that this money is creating. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: just something to keep your eye on, but we see you, Joe.
Speaker 1: If you say two thousand, it has to be too.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know any context you can
Speaker 1: say that and it be okay. Like I'm trying to
Speaker 1: even find the elasticity in my logic to be like, okay,
Speaker 1: if you said you're gonna like, unless you're saying I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give you I'm gonna get you that other six
Speaker 1: hundred in a couple of weeks, that might okay, I
Speaker 1: understand that, but don't be like, oh man, you remember
Speaker 1: in fifth grade, I gave you five bucks that time
Speaker 1: and then you didn't give me the change back. I
Speaker 1: think there was two there, So add that to it,
Speaker 1: and you're like, what I gave you a twenty dollar
Speaker 1: bill and you said you would pay me back, and
Speaker 1: now we're talking about past month. No no, um. And
Speaker 1: if you wouldn't accept that in your personal life, you
Speaker 1: know you damn sure you shouldn't expect that or accept
Speaker 1: that from a president who was trying to get your vote. Like,
Speaker 1: but yeah, lessons being learned, Let's move on. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why it's like exhausting slowly just being
Speaker 1: run over by a truck. But it's only it's only
Speaker 1: running over your toe right now. So she's like and
Speaker 1: then when it gets to like your chin, you're like,
Speaker 1: oh no, no no, no, no, no, no, no no. Um okay,
Speaker 1: So let's talk about James Lankford. He is a Senator
Speaker 1: from Oklahoma, and you know, I think he's a good
Speaker 1: example of like a broader discussion of how politicians on
Speaker 1: the right or conservatives like will never accept how their
Speaker 1: ideology and policies over the last century or so have
Speaker 1: just been an actual manifestation of white supremacy. Um, because
Speaker 1: it's it's because it's just like why, I'm not racist,
Speaker 1: I just think the election was stolen or this has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with race, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Because whether they are because they are so ignorant that
Speaker 1: they cannot see the complexity of what they're caught in,
Speaker 1: or they are just just that willfully racist and are like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, but I'm gonna be a little deceptive about
Speaker 1: it and use these little word games to dance my
Speaker 1: way out of actually saying, oh yeah, yeah, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: all school. I don't think. I don't think black and
Speaker 1: brown people or anybody who's not of my certain culture,
Speaker 1: uh to prosper. So James Lankford, I think is a
Speaker 1: good example because he's doing the thing where he's pretending
Speaker 1: like he doesn't know what any of this is. Um.
Speaker 1: He signed on at first to that Sedition Caucus letter
Speaker 1: to be like, yeah, I'm gonna be one of the
Speaker 1: senators who's gonna fucking we're trying to reverse the course
Speaker 1: of this election, and I will use my vote to
Speaker 1: do that. And then once the ship went down, uh,
Speaker 1: he reversed course. He was like, he's one of the
Speaker 1: few people was like, Okay, that was that a little
Speaker 1: too much? A little too much, Okay, I see what
Speaker 1: I think. Uh, even for me, that was a little
Speaker 1: that was a bridge too far. Which is interesting. So
Speaker 1: even though he tried to at the last minute find
Speaker 1: his spirit and soul, a lot of people were like, hmmm,
Speaker 1: I don't think you can escape this, especially the black
Speaker 1: people of Oklahoma. Um, they were very upset as a
Speaker 1: lot of just Oklahomans were as well, just realizing what
Speaker 1: their senator was participating in, essentially making like you knows,
Speaker 1: as much as he would say, we just got to
Speaker 1: make sure the election was fair, or we have to
Speaker 1: restore the people's faith in elections. It was just about
Speaker 1: making sure that minority rule was still effective, you know,
Speaker 1: because for a lot of these people watching Georgia go
Speaker 1: full blue faced bust down Fatiana without protesters and violence
Speaker 1: and things like that, and it just simply off the
Speaker 1: strength of you know, people of color getting like maneuvering
Speaker 1: out maneuvering voter suppression. That was shocking. They're like, wait,
Speaker 1: we have all this ship set up so we can
Speaker 1: keep it at least grid locked. But now that it's happening,
Speaker 1: it's like there's a sense of panic because that is
Speaker 1: starting to erode. The effectiveness of that is starting to erode.
Speaker 1: Is more people are also starting to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I have voting power. So this was all about taking
Speaker 1: away the votes of these marginalized people. So because of
Speaker 1: the pressure he was under from people like disgusted with
Speaker 1: his vote, he puts out this sort of deflective you know,
Speaker 1: I didn't realize what was going on letter quote. What
Speaker 1: I did not realize was of all of the national
Speaker 1: conversation about states like Georgia, Pennsylvanian, Michigan was seen as
Speaker 1: casting doubt on the validity of votes coming out of
Speaker 1: predominantly black communities like Atlanta, Philadelphia, in Detroit. After decades
Speaker 1: of fighting for voting rights. Many black friends in Oklahoma
Speaker 1: saw this as a direct attack on their right to vote,
Speaker 1: for their vote to matter, and even a belief that
Speaker 1: their votes made an election in our country illegitimate. I
Speaker 1: can assure you my intent to give a vote, to
Speaker 1: give a voice to Oklahoma's who had questions what who
Speaker 1: had questions, was never also an intent to diminish the
Speaker 1: voice of any Black American. I should have recognized how
Speaker 1: what I said and what I did could be interpreted
Speaker 1: by many of you. I deeply regret my blindness to
Speaker 1: that perception, and for that, I am sorry. The Tulsa
Speaker 1: massacre is a hundred years old this year. I'm so
Speaker 1: sorry that you feel that way. Yeah, that's what he
Speaker 1: said is I'm sorry you feel that way. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what that apology was. I'm sorry that you saw that
Speaker 1: for that, but I'm gonna say it's not, um, somebody
Speaker 1: smell gas what was going on? It's uh, I'm just
Speaker 1: curious what this blind spot like do you think, you know,
Speaker 1: even Tory and your work encountering interacting with all kinds
Speaker 1: of people, ideologies and racism. What the split is of
Speaker 1: people who are like, you know, actual truly out here
Speaker 1: to ride for racism and the ones that are so
Speaker 1: ignorant and caught up in this like team sports mentality
Speaker 1: that they just can't budge from beginning to see any
Speaker 1: nuance of anything. I don't always trying to figure out
Speaker 1: what the what it is with us senators like no,
Speaker 1: that's all bullshit exactly, Like I'm like, okay, no, because
Speaker 1: you're the smartest racist. Um, yeah, exactly. You know, it
Speaker 1: really really depends. I think it varies a lot from
Speaker 1: from place to place. Especially I think that they're, um,
Speaker 1: you know, Oregon kind of has this reputation as being
Speaker 1: like wildly progressive, and it's it's not right like we've
Speaker 1: got we have plenty of people here who want to
Speaker 1: disenfranchise people. Um, and you know, even people like on
Speaker 1: the east side of the state, they're like, well, you're
Speaker 1: not voting the way that we want and we should
Speaker 1: be able to be in charge even though there's fewer
Speaker 1: people here, so we're just gonna go join Idaho. Y Like,
Speaker 1: that's not how this works, right, but I mean I
Speaker 1: think it is. It really just kind of depends, but
Speaker 1: there are definitely I think the people, like the higher
Speaker 1: up you get, the more people are they know what
Speaker 1: they're doing, right of course, right, like the like it's
Speaker 1: it's I would say, people kind of like on the
Speaker 1: lower end of the socio economic ladder, right, the people
Speaker 1: that are used by the white people, that are used
Speaker 1: by powerful people to like oppress through the oppression work
Speaker 1: for them so they don't have to get their hands dirty.
Speaker 1: Like I don't think that most of them, no, explicitly, right,
Speaker 1: I think if if you sat down with them, you
Speaker 1: might be able to get them to a point where
Speaker 1: they're like, Okay, I see what you're saying, Like I
Speaker 1: see how this adds up. I disagree with you still,
Speaker 1: and I still you know, these are still my values
Speaker 1: because I see, like the one thing, especially in looking
Speaker 1: at like you know a lot of right wing chatter
Speaker 1: on the internet and just seeing how that conversation is going,
Speaker 1: a lot of them have arrived to the point of
Speaker 1: just saying, uh, well, every if if we don't agree
Speaker 1: with them, we're racist, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 1: that's and like and everything's white supremacy because it is.
Speaker 1: But it's almost like, how do you talk to someone
Speaker 1: who you're like, you know, It's like it was like
Speaker 1: it's like intervening with someone Sometimes you say drinking problem
Speaker 1: and it's like the alarm, like they that can't be
Speaker 1: heard or whatever it is. Yeah, it's like a shutdown
Speaker 1: and again, and so no meaningful communication can occur at
Speaker 1: that point. And I'm also curious, like is there because
Speaker 1: I also understand if for them there they've completely been
Speaker 1: robbed of any context nuance that it true them. It's
Speaker 1: just saying everything they say is just that, well it
Speaker 1: isn't because I'm not I've never participated in a lynch
Speaker 1: mob or I've never said this, so like that's just
Speaker 1: getting fired up without like so that's why I'm always
Speaker 1: just like, I don't even know how a corner can
Speaker 1: be begin to be turned if I don't, And then
Speaker 1: it's almost like and I'm not trying to coddle racist people,
Speaker 1: but I'm like, is there another way that it has
Speaker 1: to be explained to even begin for something to like
Speaker 1: thaw or begin to melt. But I don't know. That's
Speaker 1: why I'm just like, yeah, I'm not really sure, because
Speaker 1: it's like we do. I mean, working class white people
Speaker 1: and working class people of color have so much to
Speaker 1: make common cause over right, Like they deal with so
Speaker 1: many of the same issues. They both have a government
Speaker 1: that doesn't give a funk about them, um and like
Speaker 1: their needs and how they're going to pay their bills
Speaker 1: and get healthcare. Right. So I think that I don't
Speaker 1: think that they're going to hear it from people of color.
Speaker 1: I really don't write and they don't. They feel very sensitive,
Speaker 1: I think fairly um about being talked down to and
Speaker 1: and like condescended to because they feel like rich people
Speaker 1: already do that to them, um and so I think
Speaker 1: that that was kind of I think that was like
Speaker 1: a big part of why they rallied behind Trump was
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, he's going to be a bully
Speaker 1: for us, right, like he's going to throw people around
Speaker 1: for us, um And so yeah, I mean I think
Speaker 1: that there are conversations that can be had, but I
Speaker 1: don't think that those conversations starting out like that I
Speaker 1: think that's white people work essentially, is what I'm saying, like, hey,
Speaker 1: look like we're all getting screwed over if we all
Speaker 1: just work together on this one issue, right, And that's
Speaker 1: what's been most effective, like at least in the research
Speaker 1: that I've seen in the US, is that you know,
Speaker 1: you don't have to do like the party thing. Just
Speaker 1: find a bunch of people who are affected by one
Speaker 1: single issue and make that the thing that you focus on.
Speaker 1: Everybody im board with whatever it is, right like labor
Speaker 1: rights or minimum wage or you know, health care access,
Speaker 1: and you just focus on that one thing that that
Speaker 1: can actually get people to work together, um, as opposed
Speaker 1: to being like, well you just need to be a leftist, right,
Speaker 1: or you need to be more progressive, or you're just
Speaker 1: because it's right, because it's like you're what they hear
Speaker 1: is you're too stupid to know like what's best for you.
Speaker 1: And while we do, I mean, I do believe that
Speaker 1: they're voting against their own self interest, right. UM. I
Speaker 1: think that we also have to engage with the fact
Speaker 1: that you know, if you feel like someone has said
Speaker 1: to you, well you're stupid, but actually sit down, because
Speaker 1: I need to tell you what's what like people aren't
Speaker 1: really going to go for that. I think that has
Speaker 1: to be um I think, yeah, I think it's white
Speaker 1: people work. I think that those conversations had to be
Speaker 1: had and I don't know that again it's going to
Speaker 1: be like a political party thing, but I think on
Speaker 1: issues you can get people who would identify as conservative
Speaker 1: to make common cause with more compressive ideas, because like
Speaker 1: that anger of not having ship or feeling like your
Speaker 1: bills are adding up or whatever is being reprojected onto
Speaker 1: this like fucking Schumer blood shit, and then like at
Speaker 1: a certain point, like it's gonna hollow you out because
Speaker 1: you can only without actually addressing your material needs that
Speaker 1: potentially could be solved through better policy. Right. And a
Speaker 1: lot of it too is they see they're like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, minorities don't deserve assistance, right, and like why
Speaker 1: should they be able to cut in line? I mean
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the exact same thing with the
Speaker 1: COVID vaccine of like, well how come those people get
Speaker 1: to cut in line? Like what are they more important
Speaker 1: than me? Um? So, I think, you know, there's very
Speaker 1: much that attitude of like, well, like undocumented people, that's
Speaker 1: not what they say or stealing all of our healthcare.
Speaker 1: So I'm opposed to universal health care because I don't
Speaker 1: want illegals to have it. Like that's that's an argue.
Speaker 1: That's a very common argument, right, um, And it's one
Speaker 1: of those things you have to explain. Was like, this
Speaker 1: isn't as it's not zero sum, like health care isn't
Speaker 1: just because someone who is undocumented gets healthcare doesn't mean
Speaker 1: you don't also get healthlare right exactly. So I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think if you make it about the issue, like
Speaker 1: a specific issue, instead of about politics, you get a
Speaker 1: lot further with that. I think it's gotta be gotta
Speaker 1: say everything for everyone. That's all I'm honestly, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, is it's true. That's why I'm like,
Speaker 1: it's this team sports ship the second it's attached to
Speaker 1: this person, a Democrat, this person, because it happens, it's
Speaker 1: all over the place. I mean, yes, like it's but
Speaker 1: this is what it is, you know, like because this
Speaker 1: is everyone's retreating to their corners. But yeah, I feel
Speaker 1: like if there is a way to just like just
Speaker 1: to speak to the human exist, your condition, the existence,
Speaker 1: the lived experience of being a person being like more food,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, fucking free food? What free food? Yeah?
Speaker 1: For who? For who? Anybody? You need food? Come through, bro,
Speaker 1: you got it for you. What do you need? What
Speaker 1: you need? What you need, We got it. What you need,
Speaker 1: We got it party, you know what I mean? And
Speaker 1: you hope. But again, because it's a zero sum game,
Speaker 1: it's almost like that conservatives look at even generosity as
Speaker 1: still being like, well, it's finite and that's what that's
Speaker 1: what they're told by their political leaders, quote unquote, is
Speaker 1: that if other people get some, that's less for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're not going to give anybody anything like that's the
Speaker 1: That's the part they don't say is like, okay, so
Speaker 1: all the massive wealth hoarding, They're like, oh, don't look
Speaker 1: at all this wealth hoarding happening right here. It's the
Speaker 1: same conversation anybody has, most people, I think everybody has
Speaker 1: if they ever asked for a raise at their job, well,
Speaker 1: you know, if we if we did that then or
Speaker 1: I just got to see, there's just not enough right now,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like it's and it's I
Speaker 1: and if if you were talking to a CEO, they're
Speaker 1: not having those conversations, we're like, well, could they make
Speaker 1: less and then wouldn't that create the money? Isn't that
Speaker 1: a way to do that for me? Oh well, but
Speaker 1: first of all, what the shut the funk up. We're
Speaker 1: never going to do that. We're just sort of like
Speaker 1: where we're at, like we don't even have the imagination
Speaker 1: as a nation to be like, yeah, but what about
Speaker 1: you though you got it? You got it, so run
Speaker 1: your ship, you know what I mean, because we don't
Speaker 1: got it, because because we're tired of being told hey,
Speaker 1: uh you know if you know, because if I do that,
Speaker 1: then this guy is gonna want eyes for their kid,
Speaker 1: and then the the other person wants a neck brace.
Speaker 1: You know. It's like, you know, funk that, but you
Speaker 1: live in a fucking golden whatever the fuck? Uh you
Speaker 1: know it's yeah, what we hope the discourse can begin
Speaker 1: to like more people have that imagination to be like
Speaker 1: all the things are possible. It's just that like we
Speaker 1: got to stop acting like you want Elon Musk to
Speaker 1: have you know, elevent billion dollars and that's like his
Speaker 1: right to do that, or you know, Jeff Bays, I
Speaker 1: need these fucking people. Just those graphs showing how how
Speaker 1: these billionaires made out over the last year. Like would
Speaker 1: I don't know how you look at that and think
Speaker 1: that's cool. That's cool. Yeah, like that's cool. That's cool
Speaker 1: that the people who already had more money than they
Speaker 1: could ever spend in their lives, um like, are doubling
Speaker 1: their their net worth or adding increase. And then look
Speaker 1: at what's happening, because it's truely, they're drinking our fucking milkshake. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's what it is. They're drinking our fucking milkshake from
Speaker 1: all the way across the room in their mansions. And
Speaker 1: then we're still over here fighting each other, not realizing, like, actually,
Speaker 1: you're drinking the milkshake. Motherfucker. Are they're drinking the milkshake
Speaker 1: over there, the billionaires are, they've been, They're out there.
Speaker 1: They're fucking drinking so much of it. Yeah, pointing fingers
Speaker 1: at each other when no one has the ability to
Speaker 1: drink the milkshake. Anyway. This Paul Thomas, this Paul Thomas
Speaker 1: Anderson metaphor brought to you by a stoner bro You know,
Speaker 1: I got a look. I gotta give it up from
Speaker 1: my valley brethren. Okay, let's also just one last thing
Speaker 1: before you get on head on out. I just want
Speaker 1: to talk about the border wall, um, because Trump went
Speaker 1: there last week, um as part of like his you
Speaker 1: know good I don't understand like what that even was
Speaker 1: about him remove him so he can't pardon any more people?
Speaker 1: How about that? And you might make your investigations more
Speaker 1: effect at on whatever? What the funk do I know?
Speaker 1: I'm just watching everybody get crushed in slow motion? So
Speaker 1: you know what? This this wall cost fifteen billion dollars
Speaker 1: about taxpayer of taxpayer money roughly four hundred miles um,
Speaker 1: which is okay, fine, um it I mean he only
Speaker 1: built eighty miles of wall where there was nothing there before.
Speaker 1: So think about that. Of the four hundles of like reinforced,
Speaker 1: only eighty knew and it costs fifteen billion dollars. You
Speaker 1: know how much money? Uh? The administration was initially investing
Speaker 1: into vaccines twelve billion Jesus fun that was. This is
Speaker 1: the initial outlay. So even when you compare we were
Speaker 1: again like you're saying Tory investing in physical manifestations of
Speaker 1: division rather than you know, putting that into vaccines. Not
Speaker 1: that he knew, I mean, not that the president could
Speaker 1: have known the was going to be a pandemic when
Speaker 1: that money was being spent. But just to give you
Speaker 1: an idea of what fifteen billion dollars looks like to
Speaker 1: a politician to a wall, shure, covid. Let's not get
Speaker 1: to fift Maybe do twelve. We'll see, we'll see what works.
Speaker 1: And the other thing is a lot of like roads
Speaker 1: were being made to make the construction to get to
Speaker 1: the border. You have to make a road to get
Speaker 1: to the border, to get to the wall, to build
Speaker 1: the wall. Just so you know, it's blasting through mountains
Speaker 1: and ravines to create access roads for the machinery. Those
Speaker 1: roads are now being used for migration. Not that I'm
Speaker 1: saying it's a problem, but I'm just saying, like, bless you,
Speaker 1: sir for self. You actually made it easier. You manifested. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so ship my brain is collapsing. Wow. Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: just one of the few things I was like, just
Speaker 1: everything is a cell phone, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: even in the name of trying to do what like
Speaker 1: what they felt was right, which is really just just cruel,
Speaker 1: barbaric shit. Uh, you ended up making a nice path there,
Speaker 1: so kudos. Uh. One more day. Huh, one more more day,
Speaker 1: I have. I brought one more day and it's all
Speaker 1: over if you If you want any late night hosts
Speaker 1: the other week, they're like eggs sting. I'm like, did
Speaker 1: you can't wait? Can't wait? Um? I brought my fun story. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's do that after the break and we're back, Jamie,
Speaker 1: do you have a fun story to talk about? Like
Speaker 1: everything's been a bummerful? You got something good? I don't know,
Speaker 1: warm my heart. I I genuinely struggled to find a
Speaker 1: fun I found any, I found an interesting. I settled
Speaker 1: for an interesting. Is going back to the Tom Cruise
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen on the set of Mission Impossible? Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: what do you mean? Right? So? I think last month
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise had one of his famous little outbursts. Um,
Speaker 1: but it was for once, um, not to recruit people
Speaker 1: to scientology. It was to get people to wear masks
Speaker 1: to fight COVID nineteen. My theory is not because he
Speaker 1: actually cares, but because he needs to live forever and
Speaker 1: so he needs everyone around him. Um, you know, on
Speaker 1: that wellness journey with him exactly now. As of um
Speaker 1: this week, Tom Cruise reportedly buys robots to enforce COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen safety on films, So I have to just stop.
Speaker 1: That's the headline. That's the headline. It's on page six,
Speaker 1: so grained. But he has allegedly bought COVID bots just
Speaker 1: patrolled the set. He's making a bunch of robot coops
Speaker 1: to make sure that uh COVID nineteen does not spread
Speaker 1: on the set of Mission Impossible seven, allegedly at his
Speaker 1: own expense. So it's someone's a source said, Tom is
Speaker 1: so serious about making sure the shoot isn't shut down
Speaker 1: that he's splashed out on these robots as he can't
Speaker 1: be everywhere to ensure people are behaving themselves, so he
Speaker 1: has a full on Big Brother surveillance system on the
Speaker 1: set of Mission Impossible. So if you so much as
Speaker 1: take your mask down for a sip of iceed coffee,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what the what the
Speaker 1: robot does if it just starts like going like is
Speaker 1: it a video camera or like, I don't know, is
Speaker 1: there someone sitting like on the other end of the screen,
Speaker 1: Like I mean, like, hey, motherfucker, put your mask over
Speaker 1: your nose. I guess it's a it's a it's a
Speaker 1: robot and they're patrolling and they have cameras and if
Speaker 1: you're paying a mask, I don't know if it's just
Speaker 1: like text Tom Cruse, I don't know who what it
Speaker 1: does if you if you like live, he's gonna have
Speaker 1: someone watching Camber's live. Otherwise, Like what difference does it mean?
Speaker 1: Isn't he being in the movie? Isn't That's so it's
Speaker 1: it was just due to robots, robots that are like
Speaker 1: monitoring the laborers to make sure they don't fuck up.
Speaker 1: Boss's bag is like wow, like we're there. It's like
Speaker 1: I've got these robo Pinkerton's I've hired to club this
Speaker 1: ship out of you for brtting my insurance at risk
Speaker 1: for this production. That's that's the first. Because he got
Speaker 1: like a lot of positive press attention for screaming at
Speaker 1: two um crew laborers for not wearing masks, which is
Speaker 1: like fair enough, but did you hear the quote that
Speaker 1: he did was like scary. He was like, if I
Speaker 1: see you do this again, you're fucking gone. And it
Speaker 1: was they were standing too close together. It wasn't even
Speaker 1: like I don't know, I feel like he's he's taking
Speaker 1: this to a place of like let me punish the
Speaker 1: crew who makes like point zero zero one percent of
Speaker 1: what I do instead of like let me like he's
Speaker 1: in a position where he could maybe you know, pressure
Speaker 1: the industry he works into, have, you know, provide what
Speaker 1: people need to be safe about it instead of screaming
Speaker 1: at individuals. But the point is he got robots. His
Speaker 1: solution was robots. It's great, you know, to laugh, I
Speaker 1: had to lay Tom Cruise has purchased a fleet of
Speaker 1: z news Do we know what it costs? Do you
Speaker 1: know what that cost? It's just so funny again, like
Speaker 1: the the costs that the wealthy will incur to like
Speaker 1: solve a problem that could probably done a completely other way.
Speaker 1: But you'd rather just be like not fuck that, Like
Speaker 1: how do I just club these people with robots? How
Speaker 1: to scare the ship out of them? Rather than maybe
Speaker 1: like invest that more into more safety on the set,
Speaker 1: Like how can I protect the crew versus like how
Speaker 1: can I like punish the crew for not protecting me.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's projecting because I know, you know, he did
Speaker 1: leave the set right to go spend some time with
Speaker 1: his son, Connor, who's a DJ, so who knows. Maybe
Speaker 1: he had a rough time with his son trying to
Speaker 1: be cool and like his sons, like he's like, that's
Speaker 1: not that's not trap step and he's like, oh no,
Speaker 1: and then he's like, fuck it, I'm getting robots. Fuck you.
Speaker 1: Like he's got it. He's got a DJ son. I
Speaker 1: thought I kept really careful track of which celebrities had
Speaker 1: DJ sons. I didn't know Tom Cruise, Yes, yes, I
Speaker 1: knew Ryan Philippi had a DJ son. I definitely. What's
Speaker 1: the city that they that they run out in Florida?
Speaker 1: That St. Petersburg? Uh maybe wait hold on, someone tell
Speaker 1: me in the in the chat Scientology, Yeah, Deacon Philippie,
Speaker 1: Reese Weatherspoon and Ryan Philippe Son he's a clear water DJ. Yes,
Speaker 1: in clear water but like you know he like there's
Speaker 1: just some sick photos of him like boat dejaying and know, yeah,
Speaker 1: why wouldn't you you know what I mean? I guess.
Speaker 1: So is DJ just the easiest job? Like I just
Speaker 1: don't under like it's every select J that's rude. I
Speaker 1: just don't get it. Is the go to nepotism job. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because well your dad's DJ, so you just you fell
Speaker 1: into it. Well, but your status right, like he he
Speaker 1: has status from his dad and you can enter with
Speaker 1: an audience. And the great the reason what djaying is
Speaker 1: too is like you can you can fucking pull some
Speaker 1: you can you can funk around there, you could. There's
Speaker 1: fuck are reinvolved. You can just have someone completely mixed
Speaker 1: the set for you and you just you get up
Speaker 1: there and you press play and you just start pantomiming
Speaker 1: all this you see on YouTube that you think dj
Speaker 1: should be doing, you know what I mean, Like, Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm twisting this knob and my hands in the air,
Speaker 1: and then like but it's all recorded, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So and then that allows people to who
Speaker 1: aren't DJs to be like, oh, I'm DJ in here
Speaker 1: tonight or whatever, and then there's no skill involved. You
Speaker 1: just be like I'm standing in front of a laptop
Speaker 1: turning knobs for a couple hours to a pre mix set,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna call that DJing. Like here actually doing that,
Speaker 1: So there are real I'm not saying that DJ as
Speaker 1: a as a full job is a fake thing. I'm
Speaker 1: saying the way celebrities children's do it is plugging in
Speaker 1: an iPhone and screaming for three hours. Oh yeah, look,
Speaker 1: if you're out here look, I'm old school. If you're
Speaker 1: out here fucking lugging around milk crates a vinyl and
Speaker 1: you're setting up your heavy ask direct drive techniques twelve hundred,
Speaker 1: you know, mark whatever you know, and your proper vest
Speaker 1: tax mixer and you've got in the coffin case and
Speaker 1: that's like and plus you got to bring an amp
Speaker 1: and fucking speakers and all that ship. Uh okay, that
Speaker 1: ship is difficult. I remember having them, but you know,
Speaker 1: it was a long time. It was a long time anyway, Uh,
Speaker 1: DJ dow shout shouting out the lingo in the chat.
