Speaker 1: What have you been on? Tom Man? I've been knee
Speaker 1: deep in lots of just gaming and and and nonsense.
Speaker 1: So all last year. The reason it was so hard
Speaker 1: to get ahold of me. It was I was hosting
Speaker 1: a show for TBS called super Punch, and it was
Speaker 1: like a basically a video game clip show, and that
Speaker 1: just dominated my life, and I was getting the ins
Speaker 1: and outs of the sports. I was already a big
Speaker 1: fan of the sports, but You're meeting like all these
Speaker 1: e sports stars and then meeting like athletes because that's
Speaker 1: who turn he has access to um And it was
Speaker 1: just a real fun romp. But now I'm back m
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm still streaming some of the gangs
Speaker 1: in the streams, still making coffee, and boy do I
Speaker 1: have coffee updates for y'all, because because I think, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm I've I've kind of leveled up to one of
Speaker 1: the generals of the coffee's I gang. I think I've
Speaker 1: leveled up. I'm one of the general's, uh maybe even
Speaker 1: a captain. Shout out to Timeless Coffee who has been
Speaker 1: holding me down. Shout out to man Lab Coffee in
Speaker 1: l A, who was partnered with your boy. Shout out
Speaker 1: to Dead Stock up in Portland. Because then the homies too, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, whenever that, whenever they hit me out, I'm like,
Speaker 1: hey man, let me get that back. I fight with
Speaker 1: her majesty over the back because I'm like them for me.
Speaker 1: They listen to your podcast and she's like, you don't
Speaker 1: even know how to make the coffee. But I'm learning.
Speaker 1: But right now I'm drinking a bunch of chickory coffee.
Speaker 1: Like I got a candidate. I just hit that real,
Speaker 1: you know, keeping tablespoon, real quick, ice it and it's
Speaker 1: a wonder I'm gonna get blue bottle again. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Chickery is that there's a stump town they have that
Speaker 1: like New Orleans rocket fuel or whatever. Um, that's like
Speaker 1: ice coffee with a bunch of chickery. It's really I
Speaker 1: probably over remixes with the chickery because I think that's
Speaker 1: the stage I'm at now, you know, getting all the
Speaker 1: single origin I've been getting so so I The biggest
Speaker 1: update I have is I have a Barsata. Now that's
Speaker 1: the grinder. I have a bars outa. All the coffee
Speaker 1: heads know what I'm talking about. The virtuoso too. I
Speaker 1: was like, let me get the most elite and this
Speaker 1: is crazy because before um, before you know, I have
Speaker 1: a crups bur and you kind of like turn it
Speaker 1: to like the cups that you kind of want and
Speaker 1: the grind setting. And with this one you pick the time,
Speaker 1: like like how long you wanted to grind, and so
Speaker 1: I had to do that math in fifteen seconds is
Speaker 1: about enough for thirteen grand thirty grams. So that's what
Speaker 1: I typically brew. At thirty grams. I do uh one
Speaker 1: fifteen or one sixteen ratio. Uh, So, do you have
Speaker 1: a digital scale right now? I got the digit scale.
Speaker 1: You got the digit scale with the timer, with the chemics,
Speaker 1: the chemics, UH filters. I bounced between the chemics and
Speaker 1: the V sixties, but I just got the chemics filters
Speaker 1: for the first time because the first time they weren't
Speaker 1: in stock. And now I'm not turning back. I got
Speaker 1: the chemics filters doing it. Do I do centropore? Sometimes
Speaker 1: I'll do the waves? And now I got a zigzag
Speaker 1: pore that I learned from the homie. So you know
Speaker 1: I'm out here, I'm out here. You've gone You've gone
Speaker 1: big in the coffee game? What? So you've the world
Speaker 1: of e sports is kind of one that's exploding, But
Speaker 1: that Miles and I don't spend a ton of showtime
Speaker 1: on uh. Superproducer DJ Daniel is a E sports commentator
Speaker 1: as well. But like, what in getting to know the
Speaker 1: sport and you said that you you also like got
Speaker 1: to work with athletes who weren't E sports athletes, Like
Speaker 1: what what was the main difference you noticed between like
Speaker 1: an E sport athlete and uh, definitely the houses, Like
Speaker 1: like an E sports athlete will be making like hundreds
Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars and still being like a cramped
Speaker 1: apartment like they don't care, whereas like you get an
Speaker 1: NFL player and you're like damn, you know, and even
Speaker 1: though like there still is a huge paid disparity, you
Speaker 1: would think that you know, any sports person was like
Speaker 1: let me get a little more room. It's like no,
Speaker 1: Like the first time I saw someone with a nice house,
Speaker 1: it was, um, it was the the guy who created Phase,
Speaker 1: which means and that man probably has so much more money,
Speaker 1: you know, like like he created one of the now
Speaker 1: biggest you know, E sports uh you know or organs out.
Speaker 1: But uh, but I will say the flip is like
Speaker 1: gear was more swagged out for the sports because now
Speaker 1: and I was talking about that too, where it's like
Speaker 1: early you know, early E sports, like the money was there,
Speaker 1: but there was no interest in like like you were
Speaker 1: just still a like a guy who played computer and
Speaker 1: then with like your your hundred thieves and phase guys
Speaker 1: coming in, now you have these sports wearing like off White.
Speaker 1: Like I remember the difference between one year of twitch Con.
Speaker 1: One year I went to twitch Con, the most dripped
Speaker 1: out dude there very obviously like you know who if
Speaker 1: he was in the crowd. Next year sneakers galore. It
Speaker 1: was like I was like, okay, we I'm talking about
Speaker 1: Off White. Presto's talking about like all the hot drops
Speaker 1: that year they copped, And I was like, Okay, this
Speaker 1: is what I'm losing to. All Right, all right, if
Speaker 1: you were going to get to know you a little
Speaker 1: bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our
Speaker 1: listeners a couple of the things we're talking about. Um,
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about just where we're at with the
Speaker 1: impeachment and the reckoning with the raid on the Capitol.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about what what's going on with some
Speaker 1: of the Trump supporters and just GOP now that they
Speaker 1: I don't know that that they can just come out
Speaker 1: in the open and say say how they feel. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about Kyle Rittenhouse, he's uh, just doing his best life.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about COVID as a case study for climate change,
Speaker 1: all that plenty more, But first, if we we like
Speaker 1: to ask our guest, what is something from your search
Speaker 1: history that's revealing about who you are? Oh? Um, I
Speaker 1: feel like search history is I'm trying to think of
Speaker 1: which thing for my search history because I think, um,
Speaker 1: I think it definitely is the I've been searching a
Speaker 1: lot of horny reactions because I don't know if y'all
Speaker 1: know this, but there's a new Resident Evil coming out
Speaker 1: and it's called Resident Evil Village. And one of these
Speaker 1: main badge they keep showing is this large vampire woman
Speaker 1: with big breast, looking thicker than a snicker in a
Speaker 1: Sunday church hat. She looks delicious, she looks amazing, And
Speaker 1: so almost every day I've posted something thirsty about that
Speaker 1: fictional woman, Like almost every day I've had something to
Speaker 1: talk about and she looks good. And then we're getting
Speaker 1: to the stage of gaming where people are cosplaying this woman.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh no, I'm in danger. Danger, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be recklessly sliding in the d m S. What's
Speaker 1: the character called? I mean I've been calling her Tall
Speaker 1: Vampire Lady, but she does have a name. They they
Speaker 1: released it. Oh here lady, Tall Vampire Lady. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: she's going by you know, Tall Vampire Lady to the masses,
Speaker 1: but her endgame name is Lady Dimitris Kou. When I
Speaker 1: do tall the one of the first hall Space Vampire
Speaker 1: Lady is like one of the first auto completing people.
Speaker 1: That might just be because Google knows that that's the
Speaker 1: sort of ship that I google. But yeah, yeah, they're like,
Speaker 1: we know what you like, do anything? Yeah? What is
Speaker 1: what is something you think is underrated? If you underrated? Oh,
Speaker 1: I've got so many underrated But I think what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give it to right now is gonna be Apple
Speaker 1: Fitness Plus. I don't think people realize how much the
Speaker 1: app rocks because it's pretty much been the answer to
Speaker 1: um it's been it's been the answer the basically their
Speaker 1: answer to Peloton. It's it's been crazy. What did you
Speaker 1: explain it to me? It's not just the rings on
Speaker 1: the watch, Yeah, because I well, I saw that on
Speaker 1: my Apple TV and I was like, get the funk
Speaker 1: off my screen. Ring watch. So Apple Fitness Plus is
Speaker 1: I can't wait to talk to you about this because
Speaker 1: I I it was some thing that came up that
Speaker 1: I was like, whatever, this is so silly. But it's
Speaker 1: pretty much Apple's answer to Peloton where it connects to
Speaker 1: your Apple TV, like Miles says, and what it does
Speaker 1: is it's all these guided workouts, but it also connects
Speaker 1: to your Apple Watch, so it's giving you like your
Speaker 1: current heart rate and like telling you like you get
Speaker 1: to close those rings and every there's like and it's
Speaker 1: like matched up to Apple Music playlist. So for me,
Speaker 1: it's always like all right, I'm gonna get the hip
Speaker 1: hop joints like and and playlists are pretty pretty cool.
Speaker 1: And so I have like you can see this bike
Speaker 1: behind me, uh you know, listeners, there's an AirBike behind me.
Speaker 1: And so I was like I was riding it for
Speaker 1: a bit and I was like, this is this is cool?
Speaker 1: Like I always thought like I could ride and watch TV,
Speaker 1: but it just gets kind of boring. So I was like,
Speaker 1: let me try this Apple Fitness Plus and see where
Speaker 1: it's you know, what is that? And it was like
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I get what the soul cycle
Speaker 1: is all about. Like when you got someone like gassing
Speaker 1: you up while you're going and like kind of egging
Speaker 1: you on, and then also like seeing your stats because
Speaker 1: what it does is it connects to everyone who who's
Speaker 1: doing it and based on your heart right, let you
Speaker 1: know if you're like where you stand. And so my
Speaker 1: competitive nature comes out because it's like you're ahead of
Speaker 1: the back. I'm like yeah. So that so that was
Speaker 1: fun and I was hyped about that. I was talking
Speaker 1: about it because that was the only one I did,
Speaker 1: was the biking. But then I was like, all right, um,
Speaker 1: let me try some of the like core stuff, and
Speaker 1: so they have like the core and the yoga stuff.
Speaker 1: And so after doing it yesterday where I bounced around
Speaker 1: from the bike to the core to the yoga, I
Speaker 1: was like, yo, this is and I'm drenched in sweat
Speaker 1: by the way, I was like, okay, this is how
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people, especially all my the
Speaker 1: meathead fam who you know, see me doing the fitness stuff.
Speaker 1: They've been asking like, oh man, what's a way you
Speaker 1: know I'm stuck at the house. Can I get it in?
Speaker 1: If you have an Apple Watch and an Apple TV,
Speaker 1: or just the Apple Watch because it could connect to
Speaker 1: your phone, but the Apple TV. It definitely is going
Speaker 1: to be you know, more convenient, but you can also
Speaker 1: you know, put your phone, you know, you know, if
Speaker 1: you know. But I will say it is like a
Speaker 1: solid workout and like, because you know, I'm one of
Speaker 1: those weird people who like to gauge my workouts with
Speaker 1: how sweaty I am after and I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is one of the good ones. So I was real,
Speaker 1: I was real surprised at how good it is. And
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, man, when you get that personal
Speaker 1: training being like you can't do this you and they're
Speaker 1: looking like straight down the barrel into your eyes, You're like, shit, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's been my new jam. So the thing you're
Speaker 1: describing it, if he sounds like it would be super
Speaker 1: effective and something that I would love to have organizing
Speaker 1: my life. It also sounds like a black Mirror episode.
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly how it turned like. For instance,
Speaker 1: I found myself wanted like changing my behavior definitely for
Speaker 1: the better. Usually when it's like Okay, I need to
Speaker 1: close my rings and I can go on a walk
Speaker 1: with my kids instead of you know, doing doing like
Speaker 1: pushing them on the swings or something like, um, so
Speaker 1: it's usually like pretty benign like that, but I I
Speaker 1: don't know, it does seem like that is it's gamifying
Speaker 1: daily life and putting a you know, a heads up
Speaker 1: display over daily life in a way that feels definitely
Speaker 1: like the future, but also like it could be it
Speaker 1: could be weird. It could be manipulated in unhealthy ways.
Speaker 1: I'm sure yeah, oh yeah, now it definitely will. We
Speaker 1: just don't know how yet. Definitely, like like there's gonna
Speaker 1: be a way it can be bent to to fuel
Speaker 1: something that is that is evil. It's a slow progress,
Speaker 1: like with Apple, because at first it's like, wait, they're
Speaker 1: they're making what now? Oh, they're making what Now? They're
Speaker 1: making content. Now they're making food now, Like that's really
Speaker 1: the next that's like the next level. When you start
Speaker 1: seeing it's like will they start nourishing us? Literally because
Speaker 1: they're almost providing all this other stuff. I'm so sure
Speaker 1: about it, And Miles you probably know this the same
Speaker 1: way because I feel like we were on the same
Speaker 1: site's growing up. But I think my confidence in giving
Speaker 1: myself to these tech overlords is the fact that every
Speaker 1: drop a tech person has there is someone out there
Speaker 1: hacking it. So if it gets to the point where
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I don't want these motherfucker's to have anything.
Speaker 1: I will go to like some dark corner of the
Speaker 1: Internet and they will unplug me and I will still
Speaker 1: have the power. I'm ready to go ghost in the
Speaker 1: shell and I'm ready to go to whatever shady corner
Speaker 1: of the Internet is gonna be. Like, you're ready unplug
Speaker 1: chief off grid. Yeah it's wild. Yeah, alright? And what
Speaker 1: is something you think? It is? Overrated? I overrated is
Speaker 1: a spicy take because I think it's something that's done
Speaker 1: with h with good intention, but I think that overall
Speaker 1: it is unhealthy, usually to the person doing it and
Speaker 1: just in general, which is uh. I think you know,
Speaker 1: people are miserable right now. We're stuck inside and in
Speaker 1: the back of our heads, we all are thinking the
Speaker 1: same thing. If everyone get their ship together and where
Speaker 1: the where our masks and stay inside, we'll finally get
Speaker 1: out of this. But there's been this like connection of
Speaker 1: that idea with like being able to like try and
Speaker 1: like divorce yourself from that idea, the idea that it's
Speaker 1: like I personally want to be out of this. That's
Speaker 1: that's that's the drive and to make it seem like,
Speaker 1: oh no, I'm a hero by staying inside, and so
Speaker 1: I'm going to shame as as much. I'm gonna spend
Speaker 1: all day talking about it. I'm muna spend all day
Speaker 1: saying how people are inside and they're so dumb and
Speaker 1: they're so silly. But also, I'm still gonna order from Postmates. Also,
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna have the Insta cart. Also, I'm still
Speaker 1: gonna actively fuel the system that forces people to put
Speaker 1: their lives at risk to get my dumb ship while
Speaker 1: yelling at people for being outside and not understanding that
Speaker 1: the human psychology of so one who maybe is driving
Speaker 1: those ubers, doing those instat cards, stalking, going into those places,
Speaker 1: doing these high risk jobs, has now made them personally
Speaker 1: go through a risk assessment of being, like, well, if
Speaker 1: I'm already every day nine to five just to survive
Speaker 1: putting myself at risk at COVID, I think I do
Speaker 1: deserve a night out of somewhere. They usually find somewhere
Speaker 1: even though nothing's open to do it. And I don't
Speaker 1: think it's healthy for you to hyper focus on like
Speaker 1: the reason that you're stuck inside and maybe I don't know,
Speaker 1: pick up a new hobby and stop yelling at people
Speaker 1: because the way that social media is designed anyway, the
Speaker 1: people you're yelling at ain't even gonna see it because
Speaker 1: you've already surrounded everyone around you and your social circle
Speaker 1: to be people who think like you and do sh
Speaker 1: it like you. Stop yelling at and stop clogging up
Speaker 1: my thirst traps with fifty story lengths of you yelling
Speaker 1: at the camera, mad because people won't stay inside. I'm
Speaker 1: mad too, But guess what, how how I'm doing it.
Speaker 1: I'm signed up to a whole bunch of only fans.
Speaker 1: Maybe you should do it too. I don't know, there's
Speaker 1: I mean, I hate using this argument because I think
Speaker 1: it's so cheesy, but I think you know you and
Speaker 1: Miles will definitely feel this way. Which is the simple
Speaker 1: fact of like seeing people so up in arms about
Speaker 1: you know, COVID because it affects them and they have
Speaker 1: to stay inside and what people need to be doing
Speaker 1: to get ship right there to that. But for the
Speaker 1: past five ten years, ain't had nothing to say about
Speaker 1: anything else. But this is the one. This is the
Speaker 1: chance for you to be the hero when it's something
Speaker 1: that affects you. But I'm but you know what and
Speaker 1: and and like that's why it's like I can't do
Speaker 1: that because because I've already been yelling every day about
Speaker 1: people getting shot in the street, yelling every day about
Speaker 1: bad legislations towards you know, LGBTQ people, people of color,
Speaker 1: Native Americans, like I've, I've, I've. If you go through
Speaker 1: my tweets, you'll see that that's all I've been yelling about.
Speaker 1: So I don't have the energy to yell at Jake
Speaker 1: from you know, State State or Farm. Yeah, Jake from
Speaker 1: State Farms like a good name. We're hopping into all
Speaker 1: these COVID hotspots to help people with their car insurance.
Speaker 1: Now I can't. I can't be mad at the person
Speaker 1: because I just feel like in a weird way, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure some weirdo is made to take about this
Speaker 1: on Twitter that there's there's some level of classes and
Speaker 1: that where it's like, not everybody has the ability to
Speaker 1: stay at home and wear a mask. And if you
Speaker 1: don't have that ability and you're already forced to do
Speaker 1: it for work, then yeah you might, you might funk
Speaker 1: up and do it. And you can say that person
Speaker 1: is selfish, but you're selfish because you're enabling that system right,
Speaker 1: or at least using your voice to basically say, like,
Speaker 1: the whole setups fucked up. It should be paid to
Speaker 1: stay your ass at home exactly, you know, easy as
Speaker 1: because Yeah, Like it's like anything, somebody who's every day
Speaker 1: your life's a risk them doing something additionally risky to
Speaker 1: people who are like, oh, but what's going on out
Speaker 1: there's like, well, their reality is completely different. Every day
Speaker 1: they are facing possible infection and that has become normalized unfortunately,
Speaker 1: so other things will seem very normal to them, or
Speaker 1: things that they aren't willing to give up. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I mean it's like anything. It's like so many issues
Speaker 1: that people talk about, even if you know one example
Speaker 1: is like dog fighting or cock fighting when people how
Speaker 1: could people do that? I don't understand. You know, a
Speaker 1: lot of the times, the way people are treating animals
Speaker 1: is a reflection of how they feel society is valuing
Speaker 1: their own life, how they are even being treated, so
Speaker 1: by extension, fighting animals is no different than what they
Speaker 1: feel they have to do every day. Um. And it's
Speaker 1: like we're all seeing these like relative dimensions. Not that
Speaker 1: I'm saying it's good or bad or whatever, but everyone's
Speaker 1: reality is tinged much differently through the lens of their
Speaker 1: life experience. And yeah, like I get the level of
Speaker 1: nihilism for people who have to still go to work
Speaker 1: and be called essential but not given the dignity of
Speaker 1: essential work, not being paid in a dignified way. That
Speaker 1: is going to compound your your lack of giving a
Speaker 1: fuck over time. So yeah, and something I'm like, yeah, exactly, like,
Speaker 1: and I think it really does come from like the
Speaker 1: difference of like, if you've been in this ship, if
Speaker 1: you've worked like I've worked two grocery store jobs and
Speaker 1: those jobs already or demeaning if you gotta restock milky smelling,
Speaker 1: spoiled fucking milk, putting the milk up, the way people
Speaker 1: talk to those workers, and even right now people are
Speaker 1: just disrespecting them, people spitting in their face. So so yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they they like. The way I look at it and
Speaker 1: the way I've made it made sense to me is
Speaker 1: I remember when I would be I was I was broke,
Speaker 1: and this was around the time when I was like
Speaker 1: unlawfully or arrested, so I was paying bills, I was
Speaker 1: paying legal figies, and I'd have like just a couple
Speaker 1: of bucks in my check, you know, just a couple
Speaker 1: of bucks. And I told myself, I was like, so,
Speaker 1: I don't drive myself crazy. I have to spend this
Speaker 1: last piece of money, even though it's my last money.
Speaker 1: I have to do something for me, something from for me,
Speaker 1: because everyone else is taken from me. I should at
Speaker 1: least have something for me and and I and I
Speaker 1: think back to that time and goo, that's probably how
Speaker 1: these people are thinking, where it's like, I'm in my
Speaker 1: life online to serve somebody else's cheeseburger, to serve somebody
Speaker 1: else groceries, I'll do so I should do something for me.
Speaker 1: And you can say that's selfish all you want, but
Speaker 1: you're not in that position. You're you're selfish because you
Speaker 1: don't want to even explore the empathy to be in
Speaker 1: that position. And the fact that you can look at
Speaker 1: that and not put yourself in that position means that
Speaker 1: you've never been in that position, which means you don't
Speaker 1: have a right to talk. In my opinion, you don't
Speaker 1: have a right to talk about that. It's the same
Speaker 1: way people are like, you don't get to enter the
Speaker 1: tipping discussion if you haven't worked the food service industry.
Speaker 1: If you ain't been in there, if you ain't had
Speaker 1: a ship paying job that you needed to survive, and
Speaker 1: you were dealing with bullshit people, you don't get to
Speaker 1: have an opinion on like why this person might think, Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm also gonna try and hit this club like you
Speaker 1: just don't because you don't, you will never understand. You
Speaker 1: ain't trying to understand and eating handfuls of disrespect with
Speaker 1: a smile on your face. Imagine I would imagine work
Speaker 1: in a year, being told that you're forced to take
Speaker 1: this shitty job, forced to be put at risk for
Speaker 1: this deadly virus, and then within a year they're like,
Speaker 1: you don't deserve fifteen dollars that flipping burgers. Meanwhile, people
Speaker 1: are lining up around the block for those burgers. But
Speaker 1: you like for flipping burgers, you don't want to be
Speaker 1: paid a living wage. I think people don't get that
Speaker 1: minimum wage that there is a silent to live, that
Speaker 1: is the minimum wage to live. People think, oh, that's
Speaker 1: that's minimum wages like the cheap No, it's it's minimum
Speaker 1: wage to live. Because the idea is that if you
Speaker 1: have a job, you should survive, and somewhere along the way,
Speaker 1: NA no no, that's that's that's the minimum amount I'm
Speaker 1: willing to pay, y'all exactly. That's not trying to pay
Speaker 1: the minimum. That's really where it is. And that's what
Speaker 1: like all of the arguments against raising minimum wage are
Speaker 1: essentially can be boiled down to someone saying no, no, no,
Speaker 1: this has to be the lowest I can pay someone
Speaker 1: and get away with it. Yeah, that has to be
Speaker 1: it if anything else is to level of a playing
Speaker 1: field and I can't exploit the labor in a manner
Speaker 1: that's highly profitable for me anymore. But yeah, it's yeah,
Speaker 1: it's tough, it's it's it's super is it's super just
Speaker 1: sad to see because like you see people and I
Speaker 1: would see this too when I you know, worked, you know,
Speaker 1: a regular nine to five is people. There are some
Speaker 1: people that for some reason, the only way they the
Speaker 1: way they look at it, they understand that there's a
Speaker 1: hierarchy and they just want to be above someone else.
Speaker 1: That's why you keep seeing this argument from people being
Speaker 1: like making as much as me. Bro. If you're telling
Speaker 1: me that that I can flip burgers and make more
Speaker 1: than this high skilled job, guess what I'm gonna do, Bro,
Speaker 1: and that's what you should do. Maybe that's why you're
Speaker 1: not getting paid as much because you can't figure that out.
Speaker 1: You know, people burn you out exploiting your labor. You're like,
Speaker 1: but I gotta do all this other ship to make
Speaker 1: this little money. It's like, well, yeah, advocate for yourself
Speaker 1: or your industry or something, but don't just start getting
Speaker 1: mad at other people. But yeah, don't don't look down,
Speaker 1: look up. Yeah that's right. Yeah. The one the one
Speaker 1: group though, that could really fucking doing and eat a
Speaker 1: pilot ship. Are the people who have that mentality of
Speaker 1: going out are like, not because I'm I'm feeling existential dread,
Speaker 1: it's the I'm too rich to get sick because those
Speaker 1: motherfuckers they you know, hold they're everywhere, they're fucking That's
Speaker 1: what l A is is a bunch so many people
Speaker 1: who think, literally I'm looking at them, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you think because you at least have
Speaker 1: these class markers of having some kind of wealth, that
Speaker 1: that's the reason your mask off, like running through this
Speaker 1: place or insisting on trying to eat out in these
Speaker 1: like other parts of the county where you can get
Speaker 1: away with it, like come the funk on. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: go to a break, because when we come back, we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the rise of authoritarianism. But I I
Speaker 1: agree that a lot of what we're going through as
Speaker 1: a country, whether it's you know, punching down and so
Speaker 1: media or you know, what the rise of authoritarianism is,
Speaker 1: goes back to inequality and our inability to reckon with that.
Speaker 1: But let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,
Speaker 1: and we're back, you know, as we're as we're talking
Speaker 1: about inequality and people sublimating the the anger and frustration
Speaker 1: they feel due to inequality into you know, ship posting
Speaker 1: against other people, other individuals who are just you know,
Speaker 1: trying to live their lives. I do want to talk
Speaker 1: about authoritarianism as we're as we're heading into Trump impeachment
Speaker 1: to uh, because um peach harder and peach harder. I
Speaker 1: feel like the stakes seem low because the media is
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how they move forward in a
Speaker 1: post Trump world, and we're all we already had a
Speaker 1: Trump impeachment, we're all getting used to a new normal
Speaker 1: where he doesn't have a direct wire into our brains. Uh,
Speaker 1: And then you know, trying to focus on on all
Speaker 1: the work that's left to do. But I also think
Speaker 1: we're just bad at accounting for the future as a species.
Speaker 1: And Trump, the consequences of letting Trump and letting the
Speaker 1: right you know, get away with like their attempt to
Speaker 1: overthrow the government UH and install an authoritarian government. The
Speaker 1: consequences of that are probably four years off in the future. Um,
Speaker 1: And so we're like, let's you know, it just doesn't
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like it's getting the same oxygen that
Speaker 1: it has in the past. And you know, if Trump
Speaker 1: has let off by the Republicans and just generally given
Speaker 1: a let's move forward, unified free pass from the establishment,
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see a lot more similar violent
Speaker 1: attempts on government going forward, and just in general behind
Speaker 1: the bastards. Robert Evans and PROP are doing a mini
Speaker 1: series on basics, basically historical corollaries for what happened at
Speaker 1: the capital like past both successful and unsuccessful UH fascists
Speaker 1: takeovers of governments, and they just did the Munich beer
Speaker 1: Hall pushed and the lessons from that era are super
Speaker 1: super clear. Um. The justice system was far more lenient
Speaker 1: towards right wing violence than left wing violence, which there's
Speaker 1: been a bunch of studies finding that, like during Black
Speaker 1: Lives Matter protests all the way, like any protests through
Speaker 1: the past couple of years, it's been I think the
Speaker 1: police have been four times as likely to use violence
Speaker 1: against left wing protests, even just holding like let's say
Speaker 1: that no property damage happened at the thing, there, four
Speaker 1: times as likely to use violence. They let Hitler off
Speaker 1: the hook because they had a conservative judiciary, which uh,
Speaker 1: also there's some similarities there. Uh, nobody took him serious
Speaker 1: because when he first tried to overthrow the government, it
Speaker 1: was he did it with a bunch of drunk assholes,
Speaker 1: and uh, it just didn't look very well coordinated. But
Speaker 1: I think the main thing that we're missing is that
Speaker 1: authoritarianism is inherently seductive to a populace that is suffering.
Speaker 1: And we have a populace that is suffering from neglect
Speaker 1: and inequality, and you know, that is where this is
Speaker 1: coming from. I think a lot of the national discourse
Speaker 1: around this is like, but this isn't America. America is
Speaker 1: an authoritarianism state. It's uh, you know, it's a place
Speaker 1: where we protect people's rights. And I think that's vastly
Speaker 1: underestimating the how attractive authoritarianism is. I mean, seventy million
Speaker 1: people just voted for an authoritarian after witnessing, you know,
Speaker 1: his shortcomings as a leader, and then people are unhappy
Speaker 1: and being truthfully screwed over by the system. Uh. Someone
Speaker 1: who comes in and says I alone can fix it
Speaker 1: is going to be way more popular than someone who
Speaker 1: comes in and says, we must work within the system
Speaker 1: that is fucking you over. Um. So, I just I
Speaker 1: think we're at a very dangerous place, and there are
Speaker 1: these like kind of victories that we're letting kind of
Speaker 1: make us feel good. And it's okay to feel better
Speaker 1: about the situation, but we're we're also in a very
Speaker 1: dangerous place where, you know, seventy million people just voted
Speaker 1: for authoritarianism. Uh of the American populace is in favor
Speaker 1: of authoritarian solutions to our current problems, and neither side
Speaker 1: is pointing to the real problem, which is inequality. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just everything's everything is ill equipped to deal with
Speaker 1: the problem. You know, the people who work in off
Speaker 1: who are in office, they're too entrenched in the class
Speaker 1: of people who have to give up their elite status
Speaker 1: or give up their money to make things work, so
Speaker 1: they are completely incapable of it. It's like being like, yo,
Speaker 1: rip your body up in pieces like my own body. Well,
Speaker 1: let's figure out how to legislate the ripping up of
Speaker 1: my body. Though I'm like, no, no, no, no, y'all
Speaker 1: literally have to start coming up off your cash. That's
Speaker 1: literally what has to happen. That's it's that easy. It's
Speaker 1: actually that easy. You have to start coming up off
Speaker 1: You need to run your fucking money. That's all it is.
Speaker 1: But they can't do that. Same with the media. The
Speaker 1: media is two is in the same same group of people,
Speaker 1: and also they're so white that they cannot actually have
Speaker 1: a sober analysis of white supremacy in the country. So
Speaker 1: they treat it like, oh wow, that was that got
Speaker 1: ugly in Charlottesville. Oh wow, these proud they're getting a
Speaker 1: little rowdy, aren't they. That's this something someone needs to
Speaker 1: do something. It's because they don't understand the threat of
Speaker 1: white supremacy as clearly as other people do. So it's
Speaker 1: like it's treated like this casual thing because if for
Speaker 1: certainly it's like you know, we were saying this in
Speaker 1: the snumber, two white people have to check each other.
Speaker 1: You know, that's what has to have That's how it works.
Speaker 1: Because brown a brown person something a white person, hey,
Speaker 1: that's racist. Isn't just shut off time not hearing it,
Speaker 1: you're angry. But when a white person comes to another
Speaker 1: white person and tries to be like this, listen, look,
Speaker 1: you can this is what it is, okay, or you
Speaker 1: need to run your ship, that has a much deeper effect.
Speaker 1: And because we just how much trouble white people have
Speaker 1: had talking about the uncomfortable parts about how they might
Speaker 1: benefit from white supremacy or what white grievance politics are.
Speaker 1: When you have a media class that's this in the
Speaker 1: same place, they're never gonna actually deal with it the
Speaker 1: right way. So that gets all this momentum suddenly and
Speaker 1: they're like, whoa they showed up at the Capitol. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: what the funk were you? Because you don't take it
Speaker 1: seriously because you don't see it the same one. Well,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's It brings me back to when there
Speaker 1: was that argument going on online of like giving space
Speaker 1: to like the black people speaking out and giving space
Speaker 1: and I was like, no, no, no, no, we're gonna
Speaker 1: pump the brakes on this because there are people who
Speaker 1: as soon as they see a black person speaking on
Speaker 1: this is white noise, it's like, we can't do this
Speaker 1: like we And that's and that's a whole sidebar about
Speaker 1: like people won the cloud and commodification of wokeness that
Speaker 1: that that that was fueling that. I think what it
Speaker 1: really does come through is it's not a it's not
Speaker 1: a like one. We're not we can't wait around for
Speaker 1: the mlk's and Martin Luther King's because I mean the
Speaker 1: MLKS and that's the same person the Malcolm X is
Speaker 1: and the Martin Luther King's because the mouth the the
Speaker 1: the only reason Martin Luther King worked because there was
Speaker 1: Malcolm X, because they wanted to choose the more docile
Speaker 1: civil rights leader to do it. I think it's I think,
Speaker 1: you know, that's something that I think has missed on
Speaker 1: a lot of people. I think people thought that these
Speaker 1: are just two civil rights leaders that existed in the vacuum.
Speaker 1: But it was a coincidental problem that happened, which is
Speaker 1: you had a militant Malcolm X who was like, all right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get this freedom. Like we're not asking, We're
Speaker 1: gonna take it. And then you have I have a dream,
Speaker 1: and White America was forced to make a choice because
Speaker 1: they're like, either we get these we either get militant
Speaker 1: black people or or black people who want justice through peace,
Speaker 1: and in the end, both of them are still dead.
Speaker 1: So so and I think that's what we're with now.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a joint effort because we are
Speaker 1: past the point of them listening listening to anybody but
Speaker 1: their own. And I think that it's very dangerous that
Speaker 1: what happened at the capital, because I firmly believe that
Speaker 1: if Black Lives Matters stormed the Capitol, it would have
Speaker 1: been a very bloody day. It would have been shots fired,
Speaker 1: and and you know, normally, I'd be like, you know,
Speaker 1: normally because there are a few people who was saying like,
Speaker 1: I don't think that, like there was a thing going
Speaker 1: around was like, no, we're just saying that we want,
Speaker 1: you know, black people to have this same lency. But
Speaker 1: I think in that case it was different because without
Speaker 1: busting caps and all them, you sent a message that
Speaker 1: was very clear that if you're white, you have you
Speaker 1: have the right to storm the capital. And they had
Speaker 1: a choice. They had a choice. That's what happens because
Speaker 1: that is an act of war on America's freedoms. And
Speaker 1: if it was the other way around, that's how it
Speaker 1: would have been built. But it wasn't. What it was built.
Speaker 1: That was was a protest where people armed, people rushed
Speaker 1: a governmental building and we're let in by the Capitol Police.
Speaker 1: Not then, not enough people are talking about that that
Speaker 1: they were let in, they didn't even storm it, and
Speaker 1: and and we're and by not like putting these people
Speaker 1: under the jail, which I don't think is going to happen.
Speaker 1: I think we're going through the song and dance of
Speaker 1: put taking them to court, send him in there. I mean,
Speaker 1: just the other day there was an article talking about
Speaker 1: the saying the police were saying that we should be
Speaker 1: worried about them trying to charge all these people because
Speaker 1: they might flood the courtrooms. While just just a few
Speaker 1: months ago we had overcrowding in prisons and they're still
Speaker 1: trying to put black and brown people in there. So
Speaker 1: now we're worried about flooding courtrooms when it's white, Like
Speaker 1: it's so clear of the court. Yeah, I know, it's
Speaker 1: so clear now that it's like at this point I
Speaker 1: have to believe that you're just trying not to see it,
Speaker 1: like you're trying not to see it, because you can
Speaker 1: literally take every case and put it up against a
Speaker 1: black and brown case and see the different way it's handled.
Speaker 1: And and it's not gonna stop unless something is done
Speaker 1: about it. People will storm more government buildings if there
Speaker 1: aren't consequences for it. And and that's just the facts
Speaker 1: of the matter. And they know that because they want
Speaker 1: black people to stop protesting. So what do they do.
Speaker 1: They call out the National Guard, they bring out the
Speaker 1: tear gas, they bring out riot gear like it's it
Speaker 1: can't be more clear than this. And and honestly, I
Speaker 1: won't even pretend as if this white supremacy took our country.
Speaker 1: If it happens, because it was given to him, there
Speaker 1: was no there was no pushback whatsoever. It's just been
Speaker 1: letting it happen. And it just makes me so angry
Speaker 1: that I can't think about it because you have to
Speaker 1: sit here and realize you live in a country where
Speaker 1: the government would rather appease white supremacists than make over
Speaker 1: half of their country feel safe. Right, One of the
Speaker 1: details from the Munich thing just that jumped out to
Speaker 1: prop and everybody listened to the episode is that when
Speaker 1: Hitler so the Munich beer hall pushed was like Hitler's
Speaker 1: first attempt to take over it was unsuccessful. Uh, but
Speaker 1: uh like when he tried to do it the police
Speaker 1: where it was like there weren't a lot of police there,
Speaker 1: even though there was plenty of evidence that this was coming. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's just exactly. It reminded me so much of it.
Speaker 1: And the reason, like there's was even more understand well
Speaker 1: because they were doing it at a fucking bar in Munich,
Speaker 1: which isn't even the seat of government. They weren't doing
Speaker 1: it at fucking Congress. Um. Yeah. And it's never going
Speaker 1: to be the cops that are gonna suddenly. It's not
Speaker 1: like a movie where like suddenly the police officers take
Speaker 1: their badges off and they're like, we're sorry, Mr President,
Speaker 1: we answer to someone else. It's that they their function
Speaker 1: within a coup like that. This is a step aside.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's all it is. That's how that's how
Speaker 1: it works. It's like, okay, we'll no longer enforce the law, um,
Speaker 1: just don't you know, and then you can actually be
Speaker 1: the perpetrators of this. Let it happen and then we'll
Speaker 1: go back to business. Yeah, it's true, it really, we
Speaker 1: really are at across. That's why I like these mid
Speaker 1: terms are going to be so telling and what these
Speaker 1: what these first few months in office look like, like,
Speaker 1: what is done to deal to address the inequality? Because yeah, man,
Speaker 1: like when you're hungry and somebody telling you they can
Speaker 1: get you something to eat, You're gonna be like, okay, cool,
Speaker 1: where right? Where? That's that's my unworried too is coming up.
Speaker 1: This is because we're gonna start to see a little
Speaker 1: bit of h I believe we're gonna see some political
Speaker 1: fatigue here where people feel like they got this win
Speaker 1: with Biden, and I think we're gonna have a lot
Speaker 1: of people check out of politics, especially with with in hand.
Speaker 1: The way the media is kind of covering everything like
Speaker 1: there you know, when when it was Trump, it was
Speaker 1: very sensationalized. It was it was it was quote unquote
Speaker 1: fun to show all of the things wrong that's going on.
Speaker 1: And I believe we're gonna see the media try and
Speaker 1: like portray it as if everything's back to normal because
Speaker 1: Biden's in charge and we're gonna stop talking about the
Speaker 1: insurrection that was attempted. We're gonna stop covering all these cases,
Speaker 1: and and and suddenly all of these people who are
Speaker 1: not being charged or the charges are being dropped, or
Speaker 1: when we're not gonna see any of those new stories
Speaker 1: come out, those are just gonna fly under the radar,
Speaker 1: much like when they try to let the person who
Speaker 1: stole a politician's laptop and try to sell it in
Speaker 1: Russia literally treason and the and we're just like, oh,
Speaker 1: and that's and and I think that's what makes me
Speaker 1: mad too, is like these like America number one, USA
Speaker 1: freedom uh fan boys see someone do that, and they're
Speaker 1: just like, h I was like, oh, so you don't
Speaker 1: believe in anything. You just believe in white supremacy. And
Speaker 1: to you, when Trump was in office, America was white
Speaker 1: supremacy and that's why America was number one. And now
Speaker 1: that Trump's not in office, America is no longer number one.
Speaker 1: And it's whatever your little cult wants to claim is
Speaker 1: the real America. And honestly, I'm i gotta say that's
Speaker 1: the one thing they do get right. White white supremacy
Speaker 1: is the real America. That's what it was built off of.
Speaker 1: Any and but and and that's what Donald Trump was
Speaker 1: trying to bring back. I think you know this whole
Speaker 1: this isn't the America. I know, bullshit, this is the
Speaker 1: American That's the one that they are right about, is
Speaker 1: they're trying to bring back the white supremacy. I deals
Speaker 1: that this country was built off of. How we got redlining,
Speaker 1: how we got segregation, how we got slavery. All of
Speaker 1: that is white supremacy. So don't worry about saving America
Speaker 1: or going back to normalcy. You need to be looking forward.
Speaker 1: You need to stop being so afraid of the left
Speaker 1: and stop letting these capitalistic ideas that people are selling
Speaker 1: you keep you afraid of thinking of a better America
Speaker 1: because you'll never get back anything because everything that you
Speaker 1: thought you had was a lie. All right, let's uh
Speaker 1: take a quick break. Yep, that's all right, all right,
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back. Uh And speaking of white supremacy. Uh,
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about Q and Kyle Rittenhouse real quick.
Speaker 1: There's a couple uh stories involving Well, let's start with Q. So,
Speaker 1: the Texas uh State Republican Party is uh miles, he said,
Speaker 1: going through a bit of a rebrand. I mean I said,
Speaker 1: mask off with a Q instead of this ship is
Speaker 1: you know, the We just put out a fucking social
Speaker 1: graphic that says Texas gop dot org we are the storm.
Speaker 1: The storm being referenced the the big fucking climax of
Speaker 1: the conspiracy Q promise but never came. Um. So now
Speaker 1: they are pivoting off of that to turn into themselves
Speaker 1: being like where the que party? Uh. The head of
Speaker 1: the Texas GOP basically says, oh, He's like, oh, you
Speaker 1: guys got it all wrong. This talk about Q and
Speaker 1: on Q and on dog whistles is bs. This is
Speaker 1: just a quote from my favorite Q and on T shirt.
Speaker 1: Apparently this is from a quote that the head of
Speaker 1: the party says. It's very generic and the quote is
Speaker 1: the devil whispers to the warriors, slightly can it with
Speaker 1: stand the coming storm? The worry responds, I am the storm. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think that's more breaking bad um. I am the danger.
Speaker 1: But it's also very clearly like you know, saying the
Speaker 1: same thing that like yeah, yeah, just like if you're
Speaker 1: saying that's like we've been saying nobody. None of the
Speaker 1: things Republicans say is real, it's all bullish. They know
Speaker 1: what the funk they're doing when they go, I don't know,
Speaker 1: that's a cute. No, it has nothing to do with
Speaker 1: you and on. You know what the funk you're doing.
Speaker 1: You have a bunch of disappointed Q and On people
Speaker 1: who are confused, not knowing what to do with all
Speaker 1: this energy, right other all right, people are trying to
Speaker 1: siphon them off, to bring them into the ranks of
Speaker 1: their movements. This is you just saying, okay, well hold on,
Speaker 1: I think, oh I know what this is. Let me
Speaker 1: just give these laws confused people an organizational life raft
Speaker 1: to cling to in this sort of uncertain time. So
Speaker 1: if I come out with the Q friendly messaging, they
Speaker 1: know digital you can fucking go over there and are
Speaker 1: serving up the same ship, or at least we're you know,
Speaker 1: we look, we're not gonna say this ship, but we
Speaker 1: know what the funk we're talking about because I said it, um,
Speaker 1: and that's all it is. Oh yeah, well this is
Speaker 1: totally on track for what I was saying, which is,
Speaker 1: you know, as we saw when Biden lost a lot,
Speaker 1: you we did see quite a few of people in
Speaker 1: the Republican Party try and distance themselves from Trumpers, and
Speaker 1: Trump is um and you saw Ted leaning in and
Speaker 1: I know Ted's trying to see if he can scoop
Speaker 1: up them followers for his inevitable second presidential run. What
Speaker 1: Ted doesn't know is they will never respect him. Bro,
Speaker 1: this is a whole even though there there's nothing macho
Speaker 1: about these Trump guys. That is, they're like their whole
Speaker 1: like conscript, right, is that they're all about much was like,
Speaker 1: you let this dude just destroy your wife and you
Speaker 1: did not defend her. They will never And it's so
Speaker 1: funny to see like even someone who's from the outside
Speaker 1: him looking and I was like, those Trump people will
Speaker 1: never respect you. They're not going to have your act.
Speaker 1: Like literally, all you're doing is mobilizing them for somebody
Speaker 1: more Trumpian and macho to come scoop them up from you.
Speaker 1: That's all you're doing. And then you're gonna be licking
Speaker 1: another dude's boots. You're you know, like and it's like
Speaker 1: he's two thousand two ja rule to like, you know,
Speaker 1: he's about to come to and take all your fans
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, that's all you're doing. And if you
Speaker 1: understood that, you would do the same bullshit that turtle
Speaker 1: head Mitch pmcconnell punk ass is doing, which is trying
Speaker 1: to walk this ship back and try and try and
Speaker 1: get the Republican Party back in the sanity because you
Speaker 1: because you realize that without Trump, without that figurehead, y'all
Speaker 1: are just gonna lose back to back with it. Because
Speaker 1: that was the only reason y'all got as close as
Speaker 1: you did it is because you had Trump. So now
Speaker 1: without Trump, you and you and without your sent your
Speaker 1: your moderate Republicans, you're only gonna take els, which is
Speaker 1: why you see all of them trying to denounce you,
Speaker 1: and then you have these knuckleheads over here trying to
Speaker 1: double down. It's like you're the that's the only thing
Speaker 1: is like, what's my fear is when those the Trump
Speaker 1: the Trumpian Q people figure out a way to mobilize
Speaker 1: without the Republican Party, because right now the Republican Party
Speaker 1: is about to have a huge schism split trying to
Speaker 1: figure out what the funk they're gonna do because they
Speaker 1: don't they don't have a plan, and they really didn't
Speaker 1: have a plan. But at least Trump was like, no,
Speaker 1: we're going here. You know that when you out with
Speaker 1: friends and he always gonna take you on a burnt mission,
Speaker 1: but you know where you want to go, So y'all
Speaker 1: just follow him anyway. That's what I don't have to
Speaker 1: think of anything. He playing, Yeah, exactly. He didn't know
Speaker 1: what he was gonna do, but he he knew he
Speaker 1: was gonna push forward, and that was the only thing
Speaker 1: holding the Republican Party together. So now without him, they're
Speaker 1: just scrambling. Yeah, And like I am a little bit
Speaker 1: concerned that the Republican Party will actually start down the
Speaker 1: path of authoritarianism and and adopting the Q ship just
Speaker 1: because out of out of desperation and stint for survival.
Speaker 1: And you know, they've they've always been and willing to
Speaker 1: compromise their beliefs, Like why why would it stop now
Speaker 1: we're fucked? The populism conservative intersection is truly, that's where
Speaker 1: they're gonna go. They're not gonna they can't be like,
Speaker 1: hey man, what if we like actually like try to
Speaker 1: appeal to people's like humanity and try to win votes
Speaker 1: based on that. They're not doing. That ship is too
Speaker 1: far gone. That's like asking scrill x to make like
Speaker 1: baroque chamber music because like, I'm not bro I'm on
Speaker 1: the other end of that. There's no way I'm turning
Speaker 1: back now. Um. And that's really what's gonna be because
Speaker 1: and the scary thing is too you look at all
Speaker 1: the for all the people who scratching their head of
Speaker 1: Latino votes, Latin X support that came out of Texas
Speaker 1: and stuff for Trump, were like, what the fun happen?
Speaker 1: It's because it's not always about there. When it's deracialized
Speaker 1: and it's more put in this like family values ship,
Speaker 1: it has a lot more appeal. And they're gonna get
Speaker 1: smart because this is what happened in the of the
Speaker 1: Civil Rights movement. When they took els out of there,
Speaker 1: they said, hold on, but we need to deracialize our
Speaker 1: white supremacy talk because if it's two out there, then
Speaker 1: people know what we're talking about. But the people who know,
Speaker 1: they fucking know. It's like hip hop if somebody said
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico and the in the car responses, oh, like
Speaker 1: people just you know, if you know, you know, so
Speaker 1: you don't have to say too much. And this is where, like,
Speaker 1: you know, women in the like in the Civil Rights movement,
Speaker 1: white women were very integral and changing things to be about,
Speaker 1: like school choice, or neighborhood safety and these other things
Speaker 1: that now had broader appeal. But at the end of it,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, they knew what the
Speaker 1: funk they were talking about. And that's the evolution that
Speaker 1: is clearly happening, because this this power vacuum is ridiculous,
Speaker 1: even in Hawaii, the Hawaii g OP. I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: point to another thing they tweeted, we should make it
Speaker 1: abundantly clear the people who subscribed to the Q fiction
Speaker 1: were largely motivated by a Sincerian deep love for America,
Speaker 1: patriotism and love of country. Should never be ridiculous that
Speaker 1: the calms director resigned the next day. It was like
Speaker 1: that was a bit of a mistake. But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just you you can see what they're doing, like it's
Speaker 1: it's desperate and desperate people with no morals. There's no funk.
Speaker 1: There's nothing more dangerous, honestly, And I mean that's what
Speaker 1: they believe too. It's what they've always wanted to, you know,
Speaker 1: be able to say out loud. So yeah, I just
Speaker 1: think that that is the main one of the big
Speaker 1: things that the mainstream media is missing right now is
Speaker 1: how seductive to these people authoritarian is um is going
Speaker 1: to be in how seductive to the Republican Party. It's
Speaker 1: going to be um because they don't really have another option. Um.
Speaker 1: And uh finally, Cole Rittenhouse uh finally got like very
Speaker 1: lightly checked by a judge after just being out here.
Speaker 1: You know, he's been free uh since November, off the
Speaker 1: strength of Mike in Dell's connection to uh Lord Jehovah,
Speaker 1: the one on high. Um. He's been out drinking, taking
Speaker 1: picks with proud boys, uh, throwing up the okay ak
Speaker 1: white power symbol. Um. His mom's even been selling merch
Speaker 1: that says free Kyle, which there's actually I didn't know
Speaker 1: about this, but Miles, you were saying this violates the
Speaker 1: Son of Sam laws. Yeah, they have them on the
Speaker 1: books in Wisconsin, basically like you can't profit off your crimes,
Speaker 1: Like you can't turn your crime into some kind of
Speaker 1: profit thing. And then they're like, but it's for his
Speaker 1: legal bills. It's not a prophet. Uh, okay, right, So
Speaker 1: the money is going the legal bills that were taken
Speaker 1: care of by a go fund me those legal bills. Well,
Speaker 1: but but I need more though, you see so by
Speaker 1: your free Kyle logo paddaged sports brawl in white. It's
Speaker 1: just it's a it's a ton of nonsense. Also, I
Speaker 1: didn't realize, you know, he's nineteen and there are those
Speaker 1: photos of him drinking with proud Is in a bar.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that in Wisconsin, if you're between eighteen
Speaker 1: and twenty, you can drink in a bar if you're
Speaker 1: with your parents. Cool. Have you heard of this lot?
Speaker 1: And I only heard of it when I saw those
Speaker 1: pictures two and I was like, Oh, that's yeah, dumb
Speaker 1: Law's like yeah, but it's a lot of I guess
Speaker 1: it's up to the discretion of like the business owner.
Speaker 1: But still was like, that's a fucking weird law. Huh um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Like so essentially this one, prosecutors were just
Speaker 1: came to the judge with all this ship on some like,
Speaker 1: what the funk is your man's thinking, your honor, can
Speaker 1: we figure this out? Because not only is he flaunting
Speaker 1: his freedom in this really destructive way, but by publicly
Speaker 1: connecting yourself to Proud Boys. The prosecutors are like, this
Speaker 1: could easily translate into voter intimidation, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: like to say, like, oh, I'm gooned up Google like,
Speaker 1: what do you think? Oh, you better fucking think twice.
Speaker 1: So the judge like, okay, noted uh, and then came
Speaker 1: out today said quote, the defendant shall neither possess nor
Speaker 1: consume alcoholic beverages. The defendant shall not knowingly have contact
Speaker 1: with any person or group with persons known to harm, threaten, harass,
Speaker 1: or menace others on the basis of their race, beliefs
Speaker 1: on the subject of religion, color, national origin, or gender.
Speaker 1: No weapons, especially firearms. And no contact including like just
Speaker 1: certain people that were either victims or people he was
Speaker 1: in the case with. So yeah, oh cool, um, a
Speaker 1: bit of modification to his bond agreement. I can't think
Speaker 1: of Kyle Rittenhouse too long because it just makes me
Speaker 1: scratch my head, like I'd still to this day and
Speaker 1: blown away at just in our lifetime, how many people
Speaker 1: have taken human life and have been good, and then
Speaker 1: how many people have been doing a petty crime for
Speaker 1: something that doesn't affect anyone and in prison for life,
Speaker 1: Like it really just makes you realize how fun this
Speaker 1: just like here's the thing, let's just say, let's just
Speaker 1: say I didn't even want to think about, like the
Speaker 1: racial aspects of it. Facts that are known is that
Speaker 1: he killed another human and being that alone, usually people
Speaker 1: like put them under the jail and now you're out
Speaker 1: for free, you know, like and and it's crazy because
Speaker 1: it's like it is true, Like it's not even like
Speaker 1: someone can really retaliate and be like oh man, well
Speaker 1: but you know, I feel like risk I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: pop is ask because then the judge could just be like, nah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna put you in prison though, you know, like
Speaker 1: like that that like at some at a certain point
Speaker 1: we have to realize like, oh, the justice system is fucked.
Speaker 1: And at a certain point, it's like who who who
Speaker 1: is above them? Like it feels like something like you
Speaker 1: remember when like a teacher, you always had that one
Speaker 1: teacher who knew they had tenures so they were doing
Speaker 1: wild ship and you're like, damn, this seems like a
Speaker 1: bad system. I feel like the same thing goes for judges,
Speaker 1: Like there has to be a system where someone looks
Speaker 1: into some of these judges calls and be like, well,
Speaker 1: for a black person you put them under the jail,
Speaker 1: and for a white person you didn't. I think you
Speaker 1: shouldn't be a judge anymore. That's bad judgment. You know
Speaker 1: when this yeah, eighteen year old white young man came
Speaker 1: in with attempted murder and murder charges, you quote said,
Speaker 1: bring in the kegs and let's get fucking twisted. Yeuh,
Speaker 1: your honor. I don't that seems like a very lack
Speaker 1: of consideration. Yeah, it feels like that sometimes, where you know,
Speaker 1: you can look at someone like Tamir Rice is twelve
Speaker 1: years old and gets killed by the police, right, and
Speaker 1: then you have little white supremacist that could marching up
Speaker 1: and down the streets killing people, and we have to
Speaker 1: sit here and stomach watching this bizarre treatment, uh and
Speaker 1: be like, you know, for for certain people, especially people
Speaker 1: of color and other people who have have their eyes
Speaker 1: open enough in this country, go this is so fucked
Speaker 1: up to see like this is just so fucked up.
Speaker 1: And then on, but it works on other levels. It
Speaker 1: just makes it makes me more nihilistic or I mean
Speaker 1: not fully black pilled. But you know, in a way,
Speaker 1: you're like, why do we need the fucked up constantly?
Speaker 1: You cannot do it really is like it makes what
Speaker 1: makes me just scratch my head is it makes the
Speaker 1: argument for a lot of these progressive causes so much easier.
Speaker 1: But people still can't sink it in the head, like
Speaker 1: like people were like, why would you defund the police?
Speaker 1: Why would you defund the police? And not a couple
Speaker 1: of months later in Florida, we had a judge rule
Speaker 1: that police have no no like like cause to protect
Speaker 1: and serve if they're not in custody. Like it was
Speaker 1: because the parents were obviously trying to sue the cops
Speaker 1: at Parkland who ran away from the shooter, and and
Speaker 1: and you look and you're like, so, so what are
Speaker 1: you there for if you're saying that if you're scared,
Speaker 1: you can run away, if you're scared, you can kill people.
Speaker 1: You like, it seems like if you're scared, you can
Speaker 1: do whatever you want. I'm I'm just waiting on the
Speaker 1: case where they you know, fuck you know, sex worker
Speaker 1: And they're like, well, I was scared for my life.
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, because it seems like they
Speaker 1: get out of jail free card literally for cops is
Speaker 1: if they're scared. And I was like, if you are scared,
Speaker 1: then you should, like you should get your badge taken away.
Speaker 1: I think that's not a hard thing. If you if
Speaker 1: you cannot in the line of duty, we are shipping
Speaker 1: eighteen year old boys off to countries where people want
Speaker 1: to kill them, and they still have to follow rules
Speaker 1: of escalation in in a place where people want to
Speaker 1: kill them, and we are letting people off who are
Speaker 1: with civilians kill are you? That just doesn't add up?
Speaker 1: And you will grown as man loss of these cops
Speaker 1: in their thirties, you got eighteen year old kids who
Speaker 1: can process like, okay, this, this may be a brown
Speaker 1: kid in the middle. I mean, look, they've been sucking
Speaker 1: up too, but I think you know they've been doing
Speaker 1: war crimes too. But at least there's an attempt at
Speaker 1: a system in place where it seems like cops everyone
Speaker 1: just wants our hands off. They have a separate bill
Speaker 1: of rights so that they cannot be punished. But if
Speaker 1: a do save my life up, I could sue his
Speaker 1: pants off, right, Yeah, yeah, cops have the They're given
Speaker 1: the power of God like absolute power. They can kill
Speaker 1: you or not. And I can see why choked out
Speaker 1: a cop. I could see why I need Trey Songs
Speaker 1: money because I need to be able to choke out
Speaker 1: a cop and be good. I mean, yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: truly because you can do anything and if even if
Speaker 1: you do the most heinous ship like assault somebody who's
Speaker 1: in custody or murder someone, there's a trillion and one
Speaker 1: excuses they can make, and somebody like that guy's on
Speaker 1: the street again, Yeah, what the fuck? And it's it's
Speaker 1: for that reason people should be like at the very
Speaker 1: least if you're uncomfortable with the message, like because in
Speaker 1: your mind defunding the police, you can't nuance that enough
Speaker 1: to say we need a redistribution of resources to go
Speaker 1: towards the people rather than the oppressors and things like that.
Speaker 1: Do this thought exercises, is it is a cop someone
Speaker 1: who can find like, be protected by most dimensions of
Speaker 1: this law to get away with whatever they please. That's
Speaker 1: really another just start there. Maybe if you don't like that,
Speaker 1: then you lose that as your way into looking at
Speaker 1: the larger picture of what this all means. Well, if
Speaker 1: he it's always so great having you on the show Man,
Speaker 1: where can where can people find you and follow you? Oh?
Speaker 1: You know you can find me yet if you Wadyway
