Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to Season one, sixty three,
Speaker 1: Episode three of Joe Daly's Eye, the production of I
Speaker 1: Heart Radio. This is a podcast where we take a
Speaker 1: deep dive into America's shared consciousness. It's Wednesday, December ninety
Speaker 1: two days until January. My name is Jack O'Brien, A
Speaker 1: k A. Well, it's a marvelous night for a concert
Speaker 1: um a star who's a guide in your eyes. Fantabulous
Speaker 1: night to get COVID watching the ramblings of two older
Speaker 1: guys and all the geasers are sneezing and coughing on
Speaker 1: the boomers tacked in the front row. But baby, that'ss COVID.
Speaker 1: It was invented to enslave. Even though I'm Irish, white
Speaker 1: and rich, super rich, can I just spread some COVID
Speaker 1: germs with you, my fans. That is courtesy of Matt
Speaker 1: Dick at mcdick though, and I'm thrilled to be joined
Speaker 1: as always by my co host, Mr Miles. Grandma got
Speaker 1: infected by the virus sitting in the church. But Christmas Eve,
Speaker 1: some may say there's no such thing as COVID, But
Speaker 1: as for me and Grandpa, we believe. And that's from
Speaker 1: Jimmins on the discord. I think somebody I think you're
Speaker 1: you're partner put it in there and said, okay, my
Speaker 1: my husband is a registered nurse and was just singing
Speaker 1: this in their head all day. I think this could
Speaker 1: work as an a k A. So that is a
Speaker 1: genesis of that one. I'm glad it stayed in his
Speaker 1: head and he wasn't saying that ship like out loud
Speaker 1: as he That would be from terrible excuse me another
Speaker 1: And I was just just as I was going through
Speaker 1: that extended that LP of a. It was just realizing
Speaker 1: how we kicked the show off with what is the
Speaker 1: closest the show gets to a Morning Zoo. Uh, it's
Speaker 1: just like one of the Morning Zoo comparody people can't sing.
Speaker 1: That's that's the innovation that we've brought to it. Anyways,
Speaker 1: we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat
Speaker 1: by the hilarious and talented Connor del Rio Air con
Speaker 1: Air the con Man s conob eight of worlds right here, baby,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, hey, thank you. I wouldn't say you guys
Speaker 1: can't sing at all? Like publicly, I was into it.
Speaker 1: There were things that resembled notes for both of us. Uh, Connor,
Speaker 1: what's what's new with you? Man? What's happening? How are
Speaker 1: you making out in these troubled times of hours? You know,
Speaker 1: I'm making out pretty good. I'm not making out. I'm
Speaker 1: quite lonely, but I've I mean, I'm surrounded by towels
Speaker 1: right now in the closet. Uh. And not just for
Speaker 1: this recording, just in general, said yeah, this is my
Speaker 1: temple spiritually mentally you're surrounded by towels in a closet.
Speaker 1: Metaphorical yeah, Uh, most of Baby Hitchhiker's Gut of Galaxy
Speaker 1: always have a towel. Uh. I So in March, when
Speaker 1: things like first, I think it was March, right, you
Speaker 1: can all remember back in March fields, like when things
Speaker 1: first started getting a little crazy. I actually so, I
Speaker 1: was supposed to move into this new apartment on April
Speaker 1: one in Los Angeles, and about a week before moving in,
Speaker 1: I get a message from my friends saying, hey, my
Speaker 1: roommate actually decided he's not going to move out anymore.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I'm screwed, Like that's come on, man,
Speaker 1: you can't do that. A week before I'm like, my
Speaker 1: my roommate at my current apartment already are already found
Speaker 1: a new roommate for the apartment. Like I, I got
Speaker 1: nowhere to go. So I called my buddy and I
Speaker 1: was like, hey, could I just you know, crash at
Speaker 1: your place for a couple of weeks or a month
Speaker 1: and I'll you know, I'll pay for your A C
Speaker 1: bill or whatever. I'll pay for half your rent just
Speaker 1: until I find a place. He was like, yeah, no problem.
Speaker 1: And then two weeks into staying there, NEWSOM shuts down
Speaker 1: the state and then all of a sudden everything starts
Speaker 1: shutting down, and the guy who screwed me over, I'm
Speaker 1: actually like, hey, thanks. You know, I didn't have to
Speaker 1: sign a your lease. I wasn't stuck in a lease
Speaker 1: like a lot of people have been unfortunately. And uh.
Speaker 1: And so then I decided to go to I called
Speaker 1: my aunt and uncle who live out in bumble fuck
Speaker 1: New Hampshire. I mean, there, their street, their street name.
Speaker 1: Well I can't I shouldn't give their address, their zip
Speaker 1: code and zip code and social start with their social security.
Speaker 1: They they live in bubble fuck New Hampshire. And I
Speaker 1: was like, well, that's probably the better place to be
Speaker 1: right now with everything going on just around nobody. And
Speaker 1: they also had my dog because when I was filming
Speaker 1: um the movie Half Brothers Uh last year, it was
Speaker 1: in New Mexico for three months, and I don't want
Speaker 1: to put them in boarding and they love dogs, and
Speaker 1: so I brought him there to New Hampshire and so
Speaker 1: I hung out with them for what I thought was
Speaker 1: gonna be like a month. I think we all were like, Oh,
Speaker 1: this will be a month and then this Corona thing
Speaker 1: will be gone, and but we all didn't know what
Speaker 1: we were talking about. We're all confused. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of us still are, but hung out New Hampshire
Speaker 1: for three months. And then I'm from Chicago, born and
Speaker 1: raised in Chicago, so I came to Chicago after that,
Speaker 1: and I've been in Chicago since June just kind of
Speaker 1: all my family and closest friends are still in this city.
Speaker 1: So this is where I've been hunkered down and you know,
Speaker 1: trying to find the positives and things. Yeah. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: real sampling of the different ways that the nation, different
Speaker 1: parts of the nation shut down, deal with with quarantine.
Speaker 1: Any any any insight to share how Chicago doing in particular,
Speaker 1: Chicago is doing well in New Hampshire, you know, my
Speaker 1: My aunt and uncle are very they're scientists. They're all
Speaker 1: for mask wearing all that stuff. And when I would
Speaker 1: have my mask on everywhere i'd go, I'd get a
Speaker 1: lot of dirty looks and things at gas stations wherever
Speaker 1: I was. And uh, and then in Chicago it's you know,
Speaker 1: obviously completely flipped. Um. People have been really smart about
Speaker 1: it here. They supported it. Um. I also got here
Speaker 1: in the beautiful summer, so it was it was nice
Speaker 1: because people, oh my gosh, yeah, that's one of the
Speaker 1: best cities in the world. To have a great summer,
Speaker 1: you have to have an awful winter. People don't. People
Speaker 1: don't take it for granted here. But so it was
Speaker 1: kind of nice, man, Honestly, Um, it was really beautiful
Speaker 1: and people were outside. I was riding my bike every day,
Speaker 1: so it wasn't it wasn't sad. And um, you know,
Speaker 1: cases were okay. And I have friends who work in
Speaker 1: hospitals and they're always updating me saying, no, it's fine.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not bad at all. And March it
Speaker 1: was really bad. You know, the people who don't like
Speaker 1: to believe in this stuff just talk to like the people,
Speaker 1: you know, those are the people I trust the most
Speaker 1: the ones who are actually they're dealing with this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it was hell for them healthcare workers who are Yeah,
Speaker 1: it blows my mind. We were recently talking about how
Speaker 1: the nation has turned its lonely eyes to you as
Speaker 1: a person in Chicago. All the all the top shows
Speaker 1: in America are Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, Chicago, I don't know,
Speaker 1: Chicago Bulls. Yeah, you saw that documentary over the everything.
Speaker 1: Chicago is having a mom um. Yeah, the Chicago Wednesdays
Speaker 1: on NBC or something. I think they have like a
Speaker 1: whole night dedicated to it. Yeah, I don't watch them.
Speaker 1: You live it, man, We watch it to see how
Speaker 1: you're living. Thank you. All right, Connor, We're gonna get
Speaker 1: to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell our listeners a few of the things
Speaker 1: we're talking about. We're gonna check in with the Florida
Speaker 1: whistleblower who checked in with early on in the pandemic
Speaker 1: when she was fired for building out data that was
Speaker 1: too responsive to the facts. Her house was just rated
Speaker 1: like a dissident in a post apocalyptic movie. So we're
Speaker 1: talking about that and how CBS News is covering that
Speaker 1: mainstream media nailing it once again. We're gonna just do
Speaker 1: some COVID stuff. William Shakespeare got vexed in the UK.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that, um and how confidence in the
Speaker 1: vaccine is increasing. We'll talk about whether we're allowed to
Speaker 1: call this damn thing a coup despite the fact that
Speaker 1: it uh seems to be more slapstick comedy. Uh, there's
Speaker 1: been some interesting articles about why it's still more dangerous
Speaker 1: than you would think based on the comedy of it all.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the fact that the former head of
Speaker 1: Israel's NASA basically the NASA equivalent in Israel, says Aliens
Speaker 1: are already here kicking it with us, no big deal.
Speaker 1: But before we get to any of that, connor, what
Speaker 1: is something from your search history that's revealing about who
Speaker 1: you are? All right? You know? I was like, should
Speaker 1: I remove this? But I'm just gonna go for it.
Speaker 1: The last thing was if you fell from a high
Speaker 1: building on top of a person, would you live? Huh
Speaker 1: okaya fight what? Yes? So if you fell from a
Speaker 1: high building on top of a person, would you live?
Speaker 1: But I couldn't word it in the way I was looking.
Speaker 1: What I wanted to find was if you fell with
Speaker 1: a person. Let's say you fell with a person and
Speaker 1: then you kind of were holding to them on top
Speaker 1: they hit the ground with the inertia, still kill you
Speaker 1: as well. That's more my question, but I couldn't find
Speaker 1: the answer. Is the person Batman? Because Dark Knight, I
Speaker 1: think answers that when Rachel and Batman right right, the
Speaker 1: person is not Batman. Yeah, I think you both die,
Speaker 1: then both die. Yeah, unless they're really uh you know,
Speaker 1: large and squishy. I would imagine like a person made
Speaker 1: of mattresses. Yeah, yeah, I guess that's the only way.
Speaker 1: It would have to be the only mattress, some manner
Speaker 1: of beached whale. I feel like you'd be okay, like
Speaker 1: one of those carcasses that from back in my crack days.
Speaker 1: We did a like action movie myth busting article that
Speaker 1: I think we we were specifically focused on the idea
Speaker 1: of jumping off of the building into a dumpster, because
Speaker 1: that seems to be the standard small breaking awnings. It
Speaker 1: seems too obvious that you would just tear through and
Speaker 1: uh you know, create modern art with a doorman and
Speaker 1: your own inside. But but even the even the um
Speaker 1: the trash dumpster, it seemed like people were saying that
Speaker 1: if it's beyond I think it was. It was a
Speaker 1: surprisingly low number of stories that it's just deadly. It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You're gonna because there's something specifically engineered in
Speaker 1: there to uh slowly break your fall. You're you're gonna
Speaker 1: get turned into putting. What if you're holding an umbrella
Speaker 1: well as you descend? Yeah, exactly, it's a prettier fall.
Speaker 1: Take that science, I think. But also I think the dumpster.
Speaker 1: I mean you have to like swish, your body has
Speaker 1: to swish that. I mean to be perfect, the heel
Speaker 1: of the rim your spinal explode. Yeah, you have to
Speaker 1: before you jump off, you have to say lebron hopefully
Speaker 1: into that because hold up your goose neck shooting hand
Speaker 1: waiting for it to go in. Still all right, so
Speaker 1: you die? So okay, yeah, wait what brought on that search? Exactly?
Speaker 1: Like what were you really were having a discussion and
Speaker 1: you just be like, God, this dream may be real.
Speaker 1: I was writing something, I want to say, I was
Speaker 1: writing something and trying to figure out if that would
Speaker 1: you want to the science? Yeah, I want to honor
Speaker 1: the science. Yeah, I mean I've also like when I
Speaker 1: would take elevators. I don't know if everybody thinks this way,
Speaker 1: but before you hit, right before you hit it, do
Speaker 1: you jump right before you hit and you like do
Speaker 1: it on your side? You know, you go huh, but
Speaker 1: I think the nurses still takes you. Yeah, it still
Speaker 1: takes you down. I think so because your jump is
Speaker 1: relative to the ground. So just like you're hitting the
Speaker 1: ground at the same speed that you were traveling when
Speaker 1: you jumped on a on a like stationary. I think
Speaker 1: about this ship all the time, man, I know, I
Speaker 1: get Yeah. The other thing I think about is like
Speaker 1: if you jump off of a building, like running as
Speaker 1: fast as you can, like how far out can you
Speaker 1: make it? Um? Because yeah, that's just not that far. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not that far, that far, not that far. Um Anyways, Uh,
Speaker 1: fucking elevators, Man, you gotta watch out for those things. Uh.
Speaker 1: At otis guys always trying to take you out. What
Speaker 1: is something, uh that you think is underrated? Uh? Something
Speaker 1: I think is underrated is uh the Leftovers series? This
Speaker 1: television series. For some reason, it just went nobody watched it.
Speaker 1: But that was like that's probably at least in my opinion,
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of critics and other people.
Speaker 1: I think it's like one of the greatest written shows
Speaker 1: of all time. Like I was just I just talked
Speaker 1: to somebody last week who was just swearing up and down.
Speaker 1: I think Jack, you first started talking about it when
Speaker 1: we started watching watch Men. I think because you were like, Yo,
Speaker 1: Lindeloff in The Leftovers is was like fire and and
Speaker 1: I think my conception was season two was really good,
Speaker 1: season one is whatever, Season two is like unbelievable. And
Speaker 1: someone else came at me with the same things, like
Speaker 1: you gotta funk with him in season two and through
Speaker 1: like there there, it's next level. Yeah, damn. It was
Speaker 1: interesting on the Watchman front because he basically started with
Speaker 1: season two of of like season one of Lefto is
Speaker 1: the book, and then season two they keep going and
Speaker 1: like he gets to like write what happens after Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's when it gets really really good. And so
Speaker 1: with Watchman, he was just like, let's just start here
Speaker 1: that Usually most of the time it's the opposite, like
Speaker 1: once people lose the source material, then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden it downgrades. Yeah. Yeah, the Leftovers just what your
Speaker 1: friends said. I mean, it's a heavy show. It's a
Speaker 1: hard show, and I could see why a lot of
Speaker 1: people maybe couldn't get in tune with it. Uh, But
Speaker 1: that second season is like the writing is just like
Speaker 1: a sweater that's been threatening, Like I see that's I
Speaker 1: love writing like that. I think that makes sense because
Speaker 1: I was a stupid Lost fanboy like up until season
Speaker 1: three or four, and then like it completely was like,
Speaker 1: oh I don't like it too much, but I will
Speaker 1: stick around to be upset. I mean, especially that last
Speaker 1: season with straight disrespect um. But yeah, and I think
Speaker 1: then but like watching Watchman as well, where you go
Speaker 1: seemingly from like this is all chaos and then you're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, it was the fucking pieces where I
Speaker 1: was eating the puzzle pieces the whole time I didn't know.
Speaker 1: That's one of one of my favorite ways of like
Speaker 1: enjoying like long form TV content. So yeah, that's also
Speaker 1: one of those uh places where we like got the duo,
Speaker 1: we like gave j J Abrams all the credit, and
Speaker 1: then Lindeloff was back there actually like turning out to
Speaker 1: be the dude who I don't know. I guess they're
Speaker 1: both talented in their own ways. But I feel like
Speaker 1: when when Lost first hit, people are like Abrams He's
Speaker 1: gonna be the future, He's the next Spielberg. And then
Speaker 1: I feel like, what about Carton Ques Brood about that
Speaker 1: guy on last year? I'm just thinking that, Like I was, like,
Speaker 1: I only remember J J. Abrams. Yeah, um yeah, Lindeloff
Speaker 1: is the band though. I think he's like one of
Speaker 1: the best show runners and creators on TV right now.
Speaker 1: He's awesome. I love the pilot of The Leftovers as
Speaker 1: one of my favorite pilots of any show. Um. Then
Speaker 1: the rest of the season one wasn't crazy about and
Speaker 1: didn't really watch it beyond a certain point. But season
Speaker 1: two is incredible. And then for some reason I never
Speaker 1: watched season three. It's great. It's great. Season two is
Speaker 1: definitely like the Pinnacle, I think. But but season three
Speaker 1: is wonderful. I think it has a perfect ending and
Speaker 1: just great acting, great writing, great cinematic, great music, great everything.
Speaker 1: It's just great, great, great great. What is something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated? Coconut water? Coconut everything? What is up?
Speaker 1: What is up? Come on? Man? I think I honestly,
Speaker 1: I think coconut water tastes like like severed decayne feet
Speaker 1: sitting in a swamp filled with trash, and like zombie
Speaker 1: decomposed beavers swimming around in it. Like, I don't understand
Speaker 1: the love for coconut water, especially in Los Angeles. That
Speaker 1: is like it's holly there, coconut water, cocon I just
Speaker 1: don't like coconut everything. The aftertaste is awful, It's awful.
Speaker 1: Some coconut waters I've liked because the ones that are
Speaker 1: kind of taste good to me are the ones that
Speaker 1: kind of smell it. Their tastes like old corn flake milk.
Speaker 1: Like there's like a feeling of old cereal milk to it.
Speaker 1: Is that kind of coconut water. I drink and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: this ship kind of tastes like an old bowl of cereal.
Speaker 1: And then I'm like, why do I pay five bucks
Speaker 1: for this? I don't need this funk with it? Like,
Speaker 1: I really like it. I think it's very refreshing, and
Speaker 1: even I admit that it tastes like bad breath time,
Speaker 1: Like when it's when it's warm, it just feels like
Speaker 1: the inside of a mouth that hasn't been rushed in days. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the flavor of coconut. Yeah. The the oil, I
Speaker 1: like the oil, you know, good for my dog's coat,
Speaker 1: my skin. You know, those things I think are undeniable.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the water I just remember to like, you
Speaker 1: know what, maybe eight years ago is when it was
Speaker 1: like it was started. It was perco Laton, like the
Speaker 1: coconut water just trend and to the point like where
Speaker 1: everyone in l A like it almost felt obligatory that
Speaker 1: you went to some at least one event that was
Speaker 1: sponsored by a coconut water company. Uh. And now I
Speaker 1: feel like we're I think, I don't know, like what,
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. I don't know who this.
Speaker 1: I don't know as many hardcore coconut water people as
Speaker 1: I used to, or it's just normalized now right right,
Speaker 1: It's just they just call it water, I guess in
Speaker 1: defense of I am a big coconut head from the
Speaker 1: day I was a child. I remember like still fucking
Speaker 1: with like the coconut candies and a coconut or in
Speaker 1: a like love Mound's Love Almond joy Um and coconut water.
Speaker 1: I there's this anecdote that I think is true that um,
Speaker 1: during World War Two, when there was a shortage of
Speaker 1: blood plasma, they would use coconut water because it's identical
Speaker 1: to human blood plasma. And could be safely injected directly
Speaker 1: into the bloodstream according to body ecology. Uh so don't
Speaker 1: do that, uh needlessly. But that's why I when I
Speaker 1: drink it, I have the feeling of like, and it's
Speaker 1: probably mostly mental, but I have the feeling like, ah,
Speaker 1: this is going directly into the old veins, making that's
Speaker 1: like minimal cannibalism. The way you phrase that you're just
Speaker 1: drinking human when you can't drink human blood is what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. You've gotta go just go for the coconut.
Speaker 1: Ever since you and Peter Deal have been on the
Speaker 1: outs here, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, like Lacroix.
Speaker 1: Whenever I see somebody who has Lacroix coconut, I'm just like,
Speaker 1: it was a hard sell that. I mean, I like, like,
Speaker 1: coconut cold is the only way to I have a
Speaker 1: friend shoutout Nurse Brittany, who loves coconut. Lacroix drinks the ship.
Speaker 1: I've seen her drink at room temperature, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, sun tanned lotion that sounds like coconut
Speaker 1: always available. That flavor is always available in the aisles.
Speaker 1: When you look at Lacroix I'm just saying it's the
Speaker 1: one that's always there, Yeah, the one that's vaguely brown
Speaker 1: on the can, which is always an enticing flavor when
Speaker 1: you're reaching refreshing seltzer. Yeah. I don't funk with coconut
Speaker 1: flavored like things. Just okay, ump, except noah imitation. I've
Speaker 1: always said that. All right, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, and we're back. So there was
Speaker 1: a news story yesterday warning that Rebecca Jones, who we've
Speaker 1: checked in with before because she built that uh lit
Speaker 1: Florida database or was in charge of populating it, was
Speaker 1: key instrumental in building out this Florida database early on
Speaker 1: in the pandemic that was just updating with data and
Speaker 1: like making contact tracing uh seemingly possible, and then got
Speaker 1: fired because she was not like telling the party line
Speaker 1: of not nothing to see here. So her house was
Speaker 1: just rated. The police came in with guns drawn to
Speaker 1: take her computers and phone because they think she sent
Speaker 1: a like hecked the system and sent an email to
Speaker 1: people saying, like, you know, encouraging other people to be whistleblowers.
Speaker 1: She claims it wasn't her, but regardless, it seems that
Speaker 1: they would come in with guns drawn and point them
Speaker 1: at her children. Uh, like two and eleven are Um.
Speaker 1: It just has a very like dissident in a post
Speaker 1: apocalyptic movie vibe to it, like where they're dealing with
Speaker 1: the people who and without any you know, it's a
Speaker 1: it's a Santist joint. This, this is a de Santist joint,
Speaker 1: brought to you by the the artist, the director, Ron
Speaker 1: de Santis. But it was weird because I was I
Speaker 1: was reading through the coverage of this, and CBS News
Speaker 1: took a a strongly skeptical view of Rebecca Jones. They
Speaker 1: were like Since her firing, she has lit up social
Speaker 1: media with post criticizing de Santis and his state agencies.
Speaker 1: For months, she has tried to promote herself as a
Speaker 1: victim who was fired for telling the truth, although there
Speaker 1: is no evidence that supports her claim, which is just
Speaker 1: I think a good reminder that the mainstream media is
Speaker 1: in the business of like gaining access to people in
Speaker 1: power and exchange for you know, favorable coverage and posing
Speaker 1: up to the people in the know, um, and that
Speaker 1: their point of view is irrevocably warped by you know
Speaker 1: and tilted in favor of the people with access and power.
Speaker 1: Just seemed really disgraceful that that was like their point
Speaker 1: of view going into this thing where a person who
Speaker 1: you know, has a social media platform is going up
Speaker 1: against the fucking government and they're pulling guns on her
Speaker 1: and her family. They're like, yeah, Okay, she's been hella
Speaker 1: thirsty on social media's it's like, what are you this?
Speaker 1: The wild thing to me about her is too when
Speaker 1: they when they say there's no evidence that like, you know,
Speaker 1: this could be retribute or whatever they say, there's no
Speaker 1: evidence that supports her claims that she was like a
Speaker 1: victim who was fired for telling the truth. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure she has documentation around the idea that
Speaker 1: they were saying, we need the numbers to look a
Speaker 1: certain way, even if they don't, so we don't have
Speaker 1: to lock down. Like the official party line is that
Speaker 1: she was insubordinate, Like it's like what we're talking about,
Speaker 1: and yeah, the gun thing is so unnecessary. Like the
Speaker 1: police like sort of pushed back on the idea that
Speaker 1: they did drug guns. Cut to her video that shows
Speaker 1: them with guns in hand the stairs, and then yeah,
Speaker 1: the Miami Herald article was like, there's no evidence from
Speaker 1: the video that says that uh authorities pointed weapons at
Speaker 1: anyone in Jones's home. What the funk are you talking about?
Speaker 1: So they were just like vaguely pointing them up the
Speaker 1: stairs where her and her kids were. But see they
Speaker 1: put in new audio that sounded like police were there
Speaker 1: and saying get your hands up whatever. And really it
Speaker 1: was like a part the Season party sort of scene
Speaker 1: where they were like, hey, if you're in the building,
Speaker 1: get your guns up, and they were kind of doing
Speaker 1: that thing. And see that was a total of deep
Speaker 1: fake video that they did on there. But it's just
Speaker 1: all it's all trash. I mean, the even like the
Speaker 1: way that system is set up. I was reading that
Speaker 1: that whole COVID like thing that she had set up
Speaker 1: that's used by the state. They used the same user
Speaker 1: name and password for the entire thing. So even if
Speaker 1: she was booted out, like they didn't even change the
Speaker 1: information after Like the I T security is absolutely laughable.
Speaker 1: But then they want to act like, oh, these people
Speaker 1: are hacking in or like using this information or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's like this is all like it's such a clear
Speaker 1: cut case of harassment. Um, And I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: know I mean, we don't know if she left that message.
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like that's the most effective way to
Speaker 1: get your point across. If you know, you're a data scientist,
Speaker 1: but you know that's that's that's where we're at right now.
Speaker 1: Then De Santis has made his state like like intentionally
Speaker 1: hostile to people who are either exposing the truth, standing
Speaker 1: for the truth, or in opposition to any kind of discrimination.
Speaker 1: So this, this, this all seems on brand for the state. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's terrifying. I mean it's terrifying. You're right, it's
Speaker 1: on brand. But I just don't understand, Like, if okay,
Speaker 1: you're you want to get a cell phone, you want
Speaker 1: to get a computer, why do you have to even
Speaker 1: start with the raid of the house. Why does that
Speaker 1: have to be the start. Why can't you have a
Speaker 1: megaphone outside? Like, if you're gonna do this this little
Speaker 1: mafio so thing that they're pulling off, why not have
Speaker 1: everybody stake come outside. Everybody comes outside. You don't have
Speaker 1: to have your guns drawn, especially since there's children. They
Speaker 1: they if they know where she lives and they know
Speaker 1: all this information about her, they know she has children,
Speaker 1: they know what age, they are you know, tried to
Speaker 1: do and they said she ignored them. The cow minutes, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the cops knocked on her door and she was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get arrested, so I should get dressed and like,
Speaker 1: you know, because these are COVID times, not everybody is
Speaker 1: like camera ready the second the cops decide to randomly
Speaker 1: make a house call. So and during this yeah, and
Speaker 1: then during those twenty minutes, uh, they took that as
Speaker 1: her you know, the police were picturing her in their
Speaker 1: barricaded with weapons instead of just like putting you know,
Speaker 1: getting her hair ready for rest or whatever the fuck. Um. Anyways, meanwhile,
Speaker 1: just another story about who de Santis has put on
Speaker 1: his actual uh you know, data analysis COVID team. Uh
Speaker 1: is a young man, not a young man, old man
Speaker 1: by the name of Kyle Lamb, forty year old who
Speaker 1: is a sports blogger spent several years writing about Ohio
Speaker 1: State University for Ohio State Universe. I apologize that is
Speaker 1: my bad. Um. I remember being so confused on Monday
Speaker 1: night football. I'm like, why the fund do they all
Speaker 1: have that energy for the university? Does that go back
Speaker 1: to like a feud with oh you or something where
Speaker 1: like Ohio University was like claiming they were Ohio University
Speaker 1: the state anyways. Uh, anyway back to the cluster. So
Speaker 1: Kyle Lamb has then recently gained a Twitter following for
Speaker 1: doing the easiest thing to get yourself Twitter following and
Speaker 1: amplifying conspiracy theories about COVID nineteen uh, including his belief
Speaker 1: that masks do not prevent the virus from spreading and
Speaker 1: that the pandemic might be part of a bio war.
Speaker 1: And De Santis brought him on as a yeah, as
Speaker 1: a member of his team to replace you know, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: these are all attempts that legitimizing this kind of outlandish
Speaker 1: talk of saying, well this is my expert, okay, and
Speaker 1: I'm ordaining them as being on my panel as governor.
Speaker 1: That now suddenly people be like, well, I don't know
Speaker 1: why they if this guy is on the governor's panel,
Speaker 1: Like maybe we do need to think about this whole
Speaker 1: bio war nonsense. It's fucked up, Like it's completely you
Speaker 1: know that That's why everyone's faith in or in science
Speaker 1: and medicine is like, you know, vacillating between like uh
Speaker 1: faith and like what the fun is going on and
Speaker 1: it's his. Uh, I feel like it's his. It's the
Speaker 1: santisist way of just trying to throw as much you know, um,
Speaker 1: like garbage in the middle of the floor that people
Speaker 1: have to clean up before getting to him. Flood the
Speaker 1: you know, flood the zone with ship is ship before
Speaker 1: they can blame me and take me out. You know.
Speaker 1: It's that is a bet. That's something from his playbook.
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's terrifying. Man's so it's so awful, Like
Speaker 1: that's why I'll I will always I'll always go with
Speaker 1: the scientists. I mean, luckily, you know I had There's
Speaker 1: there's quite a few in my family. Shout out to
Speaker 1: my cousin Elliott Stanford working at a lab making masks
Speaker 1: for people around the world out of old Scoopa mass
Speaker 1: And I mean she's been working since March Man Cameron
Speaker 1: growing weed. We need that too, we need that too. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's uh. I've heard he's converting some scuba
Speaker 1: masks as well. Is that Yeah, he is just cut
Speaker 1: some ship to like the wildest dad rig you've ever seen.
Speaker 1: There were some scholars in my family. I did like
Speaker 1: two weeks of community college and was like it's not
Speaker 1: for me and UH and left. You know, all my
Speaker 1: community college students out there, they'll keep going. Man, get
Speaker 1: to get to get to get to get it. Uh.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about, um, some ideas for police reform that
Speaker 1: are being put forward in California. There's a bill being
Speaker 1: discussed that is kind of incrementalist the way that basically
Speaker 1: all of the ideas for police reform that are endorsed
Speaker 1: by uh the police are attend to be. But yeah,
Speaker 1: this one is basically saying that becoming a cop should
Speaker 1: require you to have a bachelor's degree and be twenty
Speaker 1: five years old, just based on statistics about what police
Speaker 1: officers with those attributes, how violent they are versus otherwise. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the legislator who's putting it, who's who wrote the bill, UH,
Speaker 1: is referring to like this study in twos ten that
Speaker 1: that basically says that college educated officers typically typically typically
Speaker 1: use less force often and fewer complaints filed against them. Now, okay,
Speaker 1: that's a good thing to identify that group of people. UM,
Speaker 1: but this is you know, like we're saying this is
Speaker 1: incremental change when we know what the real issues are.
Speaker 1: But you know, this isn't the issue here. And like,
Speaker 1: the reason this bill is coming out isn't because we
Speaker 1: have a problem with you know, not enough cops who
Speaker 1: studied abroad in Bartarlona. You know, we have fucking real
Speaker 1: issues here. This is an issue within policing that is
Speaker 1: anti black, anti poor, anti fucking everything. Uh. And they're
Speaker 1: protected by powerful unions that can keep any kind of real,
Speaker 1: meaningful like legal repercussions from ever you know, getting close
Speaker 1: to them, as well as like the financial consequences via
Speaker 1: these like ridiculous retirement plans a lot of these people
Speaker 1: have where it's like, dude, you get fired and then
Speaker 1: you're fucking set, like no matter what, even if you
Speaker 1: straight to murder somebody twice. Uh. And this is just
Speaker 1: you know, these are the kinds of things that you'd
Speaker 1: wish the legislators were actually looking at, because this is
Speaker 1: a good way of legislator being like, well, this is
Speaker 1: this is an improvement. Yes, that would be great because
Speaker 1: right now you just need to be I think like eighteen,
Speaker 1: or have an equivalent like eighteen with an equivalent in
Speaker 1: a high school diploma to begin your training, and it
Speaker 1: can be I think twenty. If you're in the California
Speaker 1: Highway patrol. But yes, this is that's a good way
Speaker 1: to try and weed out other people. But it's really
Speaker 1: a disingenuous attempt at real reform, and we just need
Speaker 1: to look at how much money is going to these
Speaker 1: departments and actually just having this conversation about reinvesting in communities,
Speaker 1: because the perception in law enforcement in this country is, well,
Speaker 1: people commit crime because they're black, rather than seeing the
Speaker 1: full picture of how black and brown Americans have been abandoned.
Speaker 1: And we're merely just branding this failure of governance as crime.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not, oh, it's crime. It's not we've
Speaker 1: failed these people. They have no recourse. They're so desperate
Speaker 1: that they commit crime. People commit crimes out of desperation.
Speaker 1: You know, nine times out of ten. There are some
Speaker 1: people who just do it for the jollies. But let's
Speaker 1: be real, like a lot of this is about survival.
Speaker 1: Like you deal drugs not because you've got to kick
Speaker 1: out of dealing drugs. You do it because that's the
Speaker 1: only employment available to you that has the kind of
Speaker 1: income that are looking for. Unfortunately, or things other things
Speaker 1: like that. Gang people don't want to be in gangs.
Speaker 1: Like this is all these are all you know, fact,
Speaker 1: these are all byproducts of this failure. Um. And I
Speaker 1: just want to also point out that this study that
Speaker 1: the legislator uh is using to say like, oh yeah
Speaker 1: look check this out, like you know, people who have
Speaker 1: been to France and college, you know, murder less. Uh.
Speaker 1: It was done by the National Police Foundation, which I
Speaker 1: just want to point out that they love community policing
Speaker 1: like solutions, and they love putting forward the broken window
Speaker 1: policing strategy, which is totally fucked up and completely wrong
Speaker 1: and backwards and biased. So it's already like you know,
Speaker 1: it's we're we have an imperfect thing, drawing from an
Speaker 1: imperfect place, trying to you know, be presented as you know,
Speaker 1: meaningful change. Uh. So it's just I think, just well,
Speaker 1: we will continue to see things like this that look
Speaker 1: good and are good, but I think are avoiding what
Speaker 1: all the outcries were from the public over this last year,
Speaker 1: over what is necessary to change the relationship between the
Speaker 1: community and law enforcement. Yeah yeah, I mean, I you know,
Speaker 1: I grew up in in the city of Chicago. What's
Speaker 1: Chicago public schools? Very diverse schools and all that, and
Speaker 1: I I can't tell you enough. I mean, there are
Speaker 1: people who I've met and who I've known a little
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, I'm becoming a cop. In my head,
Speaker 1: I'm like, they're letting you become a cop, right, They're
Speaker 1: they're allowing, and I'm like, I'm like what, And so
Speaker 1: I don't. It's like there's so much about character and
Speaker 1: personality that matters, I think with becoming a cop that
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of thing you could create
Speaker 1: to figure that out of how you get the best
Speaker 1: character and personality to become a cop, because it's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's a humanity job. It's dealing with people. It's
Speaker 1: having empathy for people, Like you need to have empathy
Speaker 1: for people. You need to want to work for people.
Speaker 1: I think even to your point about like the character
Speaker 1: that of you know, of the kinds of officers that
Speaker 1: need to be out there on street is I think
Speaker 1: you start that by just having like reinforcing the fucking
Speaker 1: rules so the ones who don't act with humanity in
Speaker 1: mind are quickly just booted the funk out and it's
Speaker 1: made known to people. It's like, yo, yea, this isn't
Speaker 1: the place, like if you want to funk around and
Speaker 1: do that go to Florida or whatever fucking other you know,
Speaker 1: police department. But I think for police departments this whole
Speaker 1: idea of like, well, a couple of bad apples or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's like, well, then tossed out all the fucking bad
Speaker 1: apples then and then see what you're left with and
Speaker 1: then figure out what the real problem is. But they're like,
Speaker 1: there's no even sort of the energy for that isn't
Speaker 1: even there. So we get all these sort of like
Speaker 1: half measures that have the like on paper are police reforms.
Speaker 1: But we are we are well, and we are way
Speaker 1: past the time for these small things like those things
Speaker 1: should happen sixty years ago if you want to like
Speaker 1: start that little incremental process. But now we're looking at
Speaker 1: the situation and we need, you know, we need to extinguish. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, the more you know about history, like that's
Speaker 1: that seems to be something that like the like, it's
Speaker 1: not just that black communities are abandoned, it's that they're
Speaker 1: actively imprisoned through redlining in communities where the you know,
Speaker 1: official government policy is to deprive them of resources and
Speaker 1: then they're only interaction with the state. Like that ten
Speaker 1: year old who's riding by on his bike. Is only
Speaker 1: interaction with the state is violent racist police, Like it's
Speaker 1: it's not a problem that can be addressed through incremental change.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the pandemic. What's going on
Speaker 1: with the vaccines? The UK started giving out the vaccines
Speaker 1: and we get to see people get yeah, there's it's sick, dude,
Speaker 1: we're getting vaxed. So where did they specifically choose someone
Speaker 1: named William Shakespeare, like for for the purposes of just
Speaker 1: like good good marketing. They're like, guys, Bill Shakespeare is
Speaker 1: getting the vaccine, y'all, come on, UK, where are you
Speaker 1: at it? Just you know, it began with like some
Speaker 1: elderly people and yes, they're just happened to be this
Speaker 1: eight year old man legal name William Shakespeare who got
Speaker 1: vaccinated on Tuesday. And I think that's been getting a
Speaker 1: lot of attention. I think, ay, just this story because
Speaker 1: like we're seeing like massive rollout of immunization programs happening,
Speaker 1: and like that's I think I think that most like
Speaker 1: oh fuck, hope on some level please now soon. Um
Speaker 1: So because of that, they're getting a little more attention here.
Speaker 1: And then the story within this area that got the
Speaker 1: like the first rollout of vaccines in the UK, you
Speaker 1: got an old guy named Bill Shakespeare. The literally the
Speaker 1: first person and or technically the person who first got
Speaker 1: it is a ninety year old this nine year old woman.
Speaker 1: But I think Bill Shakespeare is just getting the shine
Speaker 1: because of the name um in the in the difference
Speaker 1: in photos like the photo of I posted in the
Speaker 1: dock of like Bill Shakespeare. He's very like stoic and
Speaker 1: he's like, I'm getting vaccinated. And the woman who is
Speaker 1: actually the first person to get it, she looks like
Speaker 1: god funk at all. Like her energy is like she's
Speaker 1: wearing a mask. She's got like a cheery Christmas shirt on,
Speaker 1: but her face is like says, this is such a
Speaker 1: fucked up year, even though I'm getting vaccinated. I feel
Speaker 1: like her image really sums up like where people are
Speaker 1: where it's like, yeah, this good things happening, I guess,
Speaker 1: but like I'm I'm fucked inside from the last nine months.
Speaker 1: Also such a perfect encapsulation of what we see with
Speaker 1: the old white guy, or just the white guy not
Speaker 1: wearing a mask. Uh, he's just like why would I
Speaker 1: of course, yeah, but I'm vaccinated right, Um Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's nice to see that this happening. Like it's
Speaker 1: weird how I'm getting a secondary high right yo. Yo,
Speaker 1: the vaccine, Yo, they're getting it over there. But I
Speaker 1: don't know if like we're after hearing that Trump turned
Speaker 1: down for like the opportunity to buy more vaccines from Fiser,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh fuck, so that was over the summer
Speaker 1: before we knew. It was like, hey, things are promising,
Speaker 1: let's buy some Let's buy some of these these vaccines.
Speaker 1: And he was like, nah, yeah, well I don't think
Speaker 1: it's fiscal restraint more than his just like I don't
Speaker 1: know if I who gives this ship. It's it's it's
Speaker 1: not real, but yeah, this is. But seeing this happen,
Speaker 1: I think it should bring great joy to at least
Speaker 1: the people of the UK and then whenever the funk
Speaker 1: it happens in the US. There was a super producer
Speaker 1: and sent around like a link to be like figure
Speaker 1: out your place in line for the COVID vaccine in America,
Speaker 1: like based on like the county you live in, in
Speaker 1: your age, and I'm it's it's gonna be a while
Speaker 1: before I get to the top of that list. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you're right though, it is nice. It is that. Uh.
Speaker 1: I think it's that light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaker 1: I think some people are starting to think that tunnels
Speaker 1: like really short. I'm like, no, we still got a
Speaker 1: ways to go, you know, but there is one from
Speaker 1: the darkness to light. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's not like yo,
Speaker 1: I can I can make out a tree in the
Speaker 1: tunnel's mouth. It's like it's a pinhole. Yeah, a couple
Speaker 1: of times. Yeah, we got Yeah. I mean we're seeing
Speaker 1: just steady increases in the number of people who feel,
Speaker 1: you know, willing to get vaccinated, who are going to
Speaker 1: be who think they'll be willing to get vaccinated. Uh.
Speaker 1: The numbers were very discouraging earlier in the vaccine or
Speaker 1: in the pandemic there I forget. I think back in
Speaker 1: September it was about fifty percent of Americans said they
Speaker 1: were down to get the vaccine, and now that numbers
Speaker 1: up to sixty three. Uh so, yeah, it makes a
Speaker 1: difference when I wonder how much of it has to
Speaker 1: do with Trump losing two that, like in general, they're like, well,
Speaker 1: if you're asking me in this administration in this context,
Speaker 1: I'm not really but the number started going up in October.
Speaker 1: So I don't. It seems like it's a It could
Speaker 1: be many different things. But in terms of Democrats, they
Speaker 1: said SI said they would be open to it in
Speaker 1: September and now it's at seventy. UM. When it comes
Speaker 1: to independence, just over sixty of Independence say they would
Speaker 1: be willing to get it, and fifty percent of Republicans
Speaker 1: reported that they were willing to be vaccinated and that
Speaker 1: hasn't changed. So I don't like if Trump is, I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out what their logic is that
Speaker 1: if it was Trump's they were still at fifty because
Speaker 1: all of the misinformation has themselves fucked up that even
Speaker 1: if it was their d your leader being like, here's
Speaker 1: your vaccine, they're still like, I don't know. Meanwhile, there's
Speaker 1: movement on the other side being like yes, please, like
Speaker 1: we need health, we need safety. I think wondering too, Sorry,
Speaker 1: keep going. I was just I think I think his
Speaker 1: leadership has just been so like this seems pretty intuitive
Speaker 1: to me that that as you know, the person who's
Speaker 1: in charge, or as there's even light at the end
Speaker 1: of the tunnel, as like the media seemed to come
Speaker 1: around to the fact that he was losing the election,
Speaker 1: like I feel like and as the you know, vaccine
Speaker 1: and the pandemic response got dissociated from his administration, but
Speaker 1: I mean his his leadership has been you know, undeniably bad.
Speaker 1: So like the idea when when you're at first associating
Speaker 1: it with a world in which he is the person
Speaker 1: who is like leading the charge versus like a world
Speaker 1: where he might not be, I can fully understand that
Speaker 1: that shift. Hmm. I wonder too though, like this is
Speaker 1: maybe this is like an off ramp from the main topic.
Speaker 1: But this whole like disinformation thing is So did you
Speaker 1: guys read the talking to strangers by any chance? But Gladwell,
Speaker 1: there was this, uh, there's this interesting portion of the
Speaker 1: book that talks about like that outlier, like everybody in
Speaker 1: society can say, let's you know, forty years ago, let's
Speaker 1: say of people say yeah, I'd take a vaccine. I'm
Speaker 1: all four vaccine, that's the science. I support it. And
Speaker 1: then you have one person who's like, now I'm going
Speaker 1: to question this a little bit. I'm gonna go on
Speaker 1: the other side of it. You know, what, what can
Speaker 1: does a vaccine due to your body? Do we know
Speaker 1: the long term effects? All these things right, and you
Speaker 1: have that one person, that outlier, and he talks about
Speaker 1: how it's always important to have, you know, at least
Speaker 1: one person who kind of goes against the majority to
Speaker 1: kind of just question things right. But then he talks
Speaker 1: about what happens if everybody starts to become that kind
Speaker 1: of outlier, idealist and personality who's questioning everything, you don't
Speaker 1: you have a society that can't function because everybody's just
Speaker 1: like going off the walls with their ideas and what
Speaker 1: they believe in. And I feel like that's kind of
Speaker 1: what he talked about is kind of what's been happening
Speaker 1: with social media and this mass amount of disinformation and
Speaker 1: people not people find it hard to I think, believe
Speaker 1: anything at this point, and I think some people have
Speaker 1: a hard time believing Bolsa either side of the yell.
Speaker 1: Then you have people like Jake Paul who then are like, yeah,
Speaker 1: of news is fake. Like no matter who you're getting
Speaker 1: here from, you're like, oh wow, I'm glad you have
Speaker 1: the eye for that two of real news. And it's
Speaker 1: twenty million people right who follow this guy and and
Speaker 1: and listen to that platform, which just scary. So it's
Speaker 1: like is this Are we on this like indefinite path
Speaker 1: of disinformation? How do we does this? Does this cease
Speaker 1: to exist as this administration slowly becomes a ghost. And
Speaker 1: I think I'll always just point to the fact that, like,
Speaker 1: until we take care of people's needs, they're gonna be
Speaker 1: willing to believe whatever explanation someone just slightly a few
Speaker 1: ticks smarter than them is going to offer them. Um.
Speaker 1: And I don't think like even if we do get
Speaker 1: a hold of it, like if you don't get people
Speaker 1: like like to work or like the ability to support
Speaker 1: their families or to have a life and to have
Speaker 1: health care or an education, I think like that's probably
Speaker 1: gonna be the biggest tool to melt away like the
Speaker 1: you know, that sort of mentality of being so contrarian
Speaker 1: to like, you know, or feed these fires of misinformation. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know, it's it's I think we're
Speaker 1: experiencing like we're just at the beginning of it, Like
Speaker 1: we're just at that stage where everyone's like, I think
Speaker 1: it's a problem. Yeah, and that's where we're a yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: crazy man. The And I think also we need to
Speaker 1: figure out what we're going to do with regards to
Speaker 1: social media idea and how that is policed, but at
Speaker 1: all I don't know a good solution to that, because
Speaker 1: they're good value, valuable things that it brings in also
Speaker 1: just nightmarish what happens if you have no replies, no arties,
Speaker 1: no likes on Twitter. Well, it's also like the level
Speaker 1: of control that we're asking the social media networks to
Speaker 1: exercise is not when you look at like the story
Speaker 1: about how the Facebook spreading misinformation that led to like
Speaker 1: race riots that killed thousands of people, Like the that
Speaker 1: was a story that was on their radar, and they
Speaker 1: just didn't do the necessary things to like monitor they're
Speaker 1: not they didn't create like the team that was necessary.
Speaker 1: It's just there's no incentive. So I guess like one
Speaker 1: answer would be that like just trying would be a
Speaker 1: good first step, because we haven't even tried. It has
Speaker 1: just been a complete fucking free for all in terms
Speaker 1: of like letting these uh networks operators just ad networks
Speaker 1: who are only there to monetize the interactions and have
Speaker 1: no actual responsibilities. All right, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back, and we're back. What one
Speaker 1: thing that I've noticed is there's been a flurry of articles.
Speaker 1: We've been talking on the show for a while now
Speaker 1: about how the it's hard to take the Trump administration, uh,
Speaker 1: their attempt at, you know, overturning the election seriously because
Speaker 1: of just how surface level farcical it is um at
Speaker 1: every turn. Um. But there does seem to be you know,
Speaker 1: we like when you describe in broad and general terms
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do, it's actually very scary. So
Speaker 1: we were kind of wrestling with that over the past
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and the mainstream media seems to be
Speaker 1: at least having the conversation about how to you know,
Speaker 1: take some of the stuff seriously. Hopefully not too late
Speaker 1: that they're having this conversation, but like there there's a
Speaker 1: bunch of articles on whether it can be called a
Speaker 1: coup or not because it's so incompetent, Like is does
Speaker 1: it belong in that category of attempts that overthrown government.
Speaker 1: I don't think style treatment of talking about this is
Speaker 1: going to help. It's like, can he even call it
Speaker 1: a coup? Like really, you know, like it's like, um,
Speaker 1: let's not laugh at like the smoldering fire in the corner. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, so recently, yesterday, the Arizona Republican Party at
Speaker 1: easy gop so, the actual you know Twitter handle of
Speaker 1: the Arizona Republican Party asked their followers if they were
Speaker 1: willing to die for the cause of stopping the steel
Speaker 1: in a retweet of an anti Semitic right wing extremist
Speaker 1: who tweeted, I am willing to give my life for
Speaker 1: this fight, and there's on a Republican Party retweet and
Speaker 1: said he is are you? Um is the gatorad commercial? Yeah,
Speaker 1: exac like what um So? They took that down when
Speaker 1: it started getting some backlash. Uh. And then immediately after
Speaker 1: posted a tweet that was a picture from the movie
Speaker 1: Rambo with Rambo pointing an arrow point blank at somebody's
Speaker 1: like face, like the tip of the arrows in the
Speaker 1: person's face and he's pulling it back, getting ready to
Speaker 1: just do a point blank headshot with an arrow, bow
Speaker 1: and arrow and says uh. And the tweet is in quotes,
Speaker 1: this is what we do who we are live for
Speaker 1: nothing or die for something American flag again from the
Speaker 1: official Arizona Republican Party. Um, this is how like extremist
Speaker 1: groups also recruit martyrs like people. It's the same language
Speaker 1: of like die for this, you down to die for this,
Speaker 1: and I mean i'd luckily, like I mean somewhat luckily,
Speaker 1: Like a lot of other Republicans are pushing back on
Speaker 1: these tweets, which is what when they were getting ratio,
Speaker 1: They're like, Okay, maybe a bad idea, but nonetheless that's
Speaker 1: still creating this environment still exists. Like people showed up
Speaker 1: to the Michigan Secretary of State's house. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: protesting on this stop the steel nonsense with weapons while
Speaker 1: she was trying to decorate her house for Christmas, or
Speaker 1: a real war on Christmas moment. Uh, will not get
Speaker 1: covered by Fox, i'd imagine. So just on a longer
Speaker 1: term and like more circumspect view, you know, I've also
Speaker 1: seen the response even from like people who I think
Speaker 1: are smart on the left, who it just seems like
Speaker 1: from a posturing perspective, don't want to seem like they're
Speaker 1: the boy who cried Wolf, or alternately just want to
Speaker 1: seem like cool enough and like worldly enough to be
Speaker 1: like this isn't a coup. You think this is a coup,
Speaker 1: This is nothing like are idiots? You should have studied
Speaker 1: Barcelona in me right stuff? Yeah, but this writer in
Speaker 1: the Atlantic who's a popular, really talented academic name named
Speaker 1: zep tufik Chi wrote, So, she grew up in uh Turkey,
Speaker 1: and she writes about how basically like if you are
Speaker 1: from a place where coups are common, Um, this definitely
Speaker 1: feels like a coup, and the question of whether it
Speaker 1: should be called a coup seems somewhat silly and beside
Speaker 1: the point. And it's more important to just talk about
Speaker 1: in specific terms, like what is actually happening, because these
Speaker 1: are all norms that are being toppled that make it
Speaker 1: so that you can do a coup with impunity. Like
Speaker 1: just because this particular time is incompetent um, it does
Speaker 1: not mean that we should be ignoring. Like at one
Speaker 1: point she uh just lays out all the things that
Speaker 1: are happening. Um, and you know, viewed from the perspective
Speaker 1: of someone who grew up at the whims of you know,
Speaker 1: five major coups throughout her lifetime, pants a pretty stark
Speaker 1: picture like that. The president has repeatedly and baselessly claimed
Speaker 1: the election was stolen and continues to do so daily,
Speaker 1: effectively charging the election officers around the country being involved
Speaker 1: in a dangerous conspiracy. The president is key. Allies have
Speaker 1: repeated really called for Republican state legislators to steal the
Speaker 1: election for him. The president, who has the power to
Speaker 1: appoint judges, is asking for Supreme Court nominees to UH
Speaker 1: or Supreme Court to steal the election for him UH
Speaker 1: and has asked the court to throw out valid votes.
Speaker 1: Right after the election, a legal advisor to the president stated,
Speaker 1: we're waiting for the Supreme Court to do something and
Speaker 1: hopefully Amy Comy Barrett will come through. High profile allies
Speaker 1: of his are physically intimidating George's Republican government or governor
Speaker 1: for backing the actual vote count, amplified messages that call
Speaker 1: for people to fight back hard, and then his election
Speaker 1: lawyer said that the entire election and all swing states
Speaker 1: should be overturned, like it's just yeah, it's all there, yeah,
Speaker 1: And then they said that Christopher Crebs uh should should
Speaker 1: be shot at dawn, like that's all the sort of
Speaker 1: thing that you would have in a coup. It's just
Speaker 1: that because the president didn't do the planning necessary and
Speaker 1: the political maneuvering necessary, he isn't capable of doing it
Speaker 1: like his team. They're saying like Basically, the incompetence of
Speaker 1: the whole coup is why people aren't stating that this
Speaker 1: is a coup. It's like this, it's like that's it's
Speaker 1: like you know, fucking crocodile Dundee ship where by trying
Speaker 1: to rob you with a knife and you're like, that's
Speaker 1: not a knife v season knife and you're like you're
Speaker 1: you're laughing off. You're the transgressor because the attempt is
Speaker 1: so whacked and you're like, I'm gonna call the cops
Speaker 1: on that idiot that would and it's like the mentality
Speaker 1: when it's like, well, hold on, that wasn't attempted robbery,
Speaker 1: So really, if we won't put this on paper, this
Speaker 1: motherfucker attempted to rob you. To be clear, that is
Speaker 1: not an advisable way to deal with a mugging because
Speaker 1: they could just go and get a gun, right, but
Speaker 1: either way, But to that point is maybe some other
Speaker 1: goon saw them be like okay, so you can't stick
Speaker 1: them up with that knife. Okay, so I need something
Speaker 1: bigger than that knife, and you're setting it like again,
Speaker 1: were the real thing here is also in her article
Speaker 1: is talking about you know, treat I think what was
Speaker 1: that I put the quote at the bottom she like,
Speaker 1: this is your first coup. If you want to be
Speaker 1: sure that it's your last, exactly like treat this like
Speaker 1: a robbery and fucking golf and and and bring the law,
Speaker 1: bring them to just like you can't do this ship.
Speaker 1: And I think that's why there's this other debate that's
Speaker 1: also brewing, is what is Joe Biden going to do
Speaker 1: when he becomes the president because this like hand holdie, well,
Speaker 1: we don't want to like we want to heal the country.
Speaker 1: That's not healing my man. That is not going to
Speaker 1: be healing That is saying yo, y'all can get away
Speaker 1: with this ship if you do it slicker, and that
Speaker 1: is a terror, like you have to we have to
Speaker 1: actually put an end to it by actually exercising or whatever,
Speaker 1: using the legal system, justice system to try and hold
Speaker 1: these people to account. But I I seriously doubt that
Speaker 1: that would ever happen because you know, Democrats are the
Speaker 1: party of like where this is a smoke free environment,
Speaker 1: even if the smoke is necessary for the good of
Speaker 1: the country and the you know, she talks about how
Speaker 1: one of the coups that overthrew her government and that
Speaker 1: was very dangerous and led to hundreds of people being
Speaker 1: tortured to death. Was like basically the remnants or the
Speaker 1: aftershock of an original coup that was laughed out of
Speaker 1: the building, like like this one is being like it
Speaker 1: was not seen as serious. And she also points to
Speaker 1: Napoleon Bonaparte, the third Napoleon bonapartes I guess grandson like
Speaker 1: did did a coup that was like called beyond comedy
Speaker 1: by uh the French press, and then eventually like ten
Speaker 1: years later overthrew the government and remade it in his
Speaker 1: image for you know, thirty years and completely altered the
Speaker 1: course of history after or unattempted coup that was absurd
Speaker 1: and hilarious. The wild thing is this isn't even hilarious,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like it's in a way
Speaker 1: like sure, Rudy Giuliani sweating and black from his head
Speaker 1: and you know, smear and snot on his face and
Speaker 1: stuff like that, but like the but when you're looking
Speaker 1: at it, it's truly like we're saying, like it's the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter for white supremacy as like a form of governance,
Speaker 1: or there's attempts to try and fight fight back against it,
Speaker 1: and it's like they're not gonna fucking just lay down,
Speaker 1: Like the whole country was built on this. So there,
Speaker 1: I think it's it's it's a dangerous thing to like
Speaker 1: I think on one level, like we laugh about it
Speaker 1: too on this show, but that's more of like out
Speaker 1: of existential dread, but at the same time wanting to
Speaker 1: keep an eye on this ship because I think we
Speaker 1: as we talk about it, you there will always be
Speaker 1: somebody who's trying to improve upon the last person's contribution
Speaker 1: in like every field, you know, like there is somebody
Speaker 1: who's knuckling up, like see Trump did it wrong this way,
Speaker 1: Like if you're gonna bring in a ethno state, it
Speaker 1: has to happen this way. And that that that that
Speaker 1: that that like there are people whose gears are moving
Speaker 1: to and I think that's why it's it's it's important
Speaker 1: to not to also have the mindset that this doesn't
Speaker 1: it's not over January twenty, like this is this is
Speaker 1: the beginning of the new the next phase of whatever
Speaker 1: this country's history is, and it's going it's pivotal, right.
Speaker 1: I also think too, in uh, just America in general,
Speaker 1: of American people and even I think to an extent.
Speaker 1: I'm I've certainly thought this way. Sometimes. I think there's
Speaker 1: like disillusionment of like, oh, that wouldn't happen in America
Speaker 1: though like Turkey, you know, tanks like running over civilians
Speaker 1: and helicopters shooting at buildings like that, that wouldn't happen here,
Speaker 1: That could never happen here, And I think I think
Speaker 1: it's important to keep in mind that that absolutely could
Speaker 1: happen here. I mean, I to be honest, I didn't
Speaker 1: even I used to think a coup is only defined
Speaker 1: as uh like a general military. Yeah, I didn't even know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had no idea that it could be. I mean,
Speaker 1: and it totally makes sense obviously that it can be
Speaker 1: defined as an administration just kind of refusing to down
Speaker 1: there's no it's it's wild because that specific definition, and
Speaker 1: like the it really seems strange that there would be
Speaker 1: so much energy on being like this isn't a coup
Speaker 1: and defining what a coup is and like making sure
Speaker 1: that uh, something that isn't that like doesn't get because
Speaker 1: there's been like tons of articles. There's a Washington Post
Speaker 1: op ed that is like all about how this isn't
Speaker 1: a coup and you shouldn't call it a coup um.
Speaker 1: But like the the US government has been subject to
Speaker 1: coup's from like within, from the CIA, Like you know,
Speaker 1: you have these governments within the government that are taking over,
Speaker 1: uh doing underhanded black state, black ops ship and you know,
Speaker 1: because we're not willing to like when you actually read
Speaker 1: the history of these things, uh, it's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: they created the reality that we grew up in to
Speaker 1: favor them. But like it's that there's a whole of
Speaker 1: their history of like uh things that just we didn't
Speaker 1: view as a coupe because it was happening under the surface. Yeah, again,
Speaker 1: it's a coup on paper, so treat it like you know,
Speaker 1: And I think that's why the next administration and even
Speaker 1: now they need to be talking like this. But again
Speaker 1: it's too spicy. It's it's okay for the people on
Speaker 1: the right to be calling for whatever the funk they're doing,
Speaker 1: but it's but it's like just a bridge slightly too
Speaker 1: far for democratic democratic leadership to be like they are
Speaker 1: attempting at coup. I don't know, I don't care what
Speaker 1: they want to call it. This is straight horse shit.
Speaker 1: But it's more just like, well, we'll let the courts
Speaker 1: handling him. That was a nice try. Um, finally, I
Speaker 1: want to talk about a story that would have I
Speaker 1: don't know it's it seems like it's way too important
Speaker 1: to cover in three minutes, which we're going to try
Speaker 1: and do. But the former head of Israel's uh what
Speaker 1: what's his official title? He ran and he ran into program.
Speaker 1: He was the program. Like there's no, he's not some
Speaker 1: guy with a cool Twitter handle that you know bb
Speaker 1: Net and Yahoo like Fox with It's like, you know,
Speaker 1: he's he's I think he was running it from like
Speaker 1: the eighties to like or something like that. And but
Speaker 1: for a context, he's saying, if I had come up
Speaker 1: with what I'm saying today five years ago, and we'll
Speaker 1: get to what he's saying, I would have been hospitalized.
Speaker 1: Wherever I've gone with this, in academia, they've said the
Speaker 1: man has lost his mind. Today they're already talking differently.
Speaker 1: I have nothing to lose. I've received my degrees and awards.
Speaker 1: I'm respecting universities abroad where the trend is also changing.
Speaker 1: That trend he says that, uh, we have made alien contact,
Speaker 1: the US government and Israel in particular, that we are
Speaker 1: in communication and in fact, in a legal contract with
Speaker 1: the extraterrestrials. Um. I mean, I'm glad of one of
Speaker 1: his quotes. I'm glad that the Aliens respect contract law.
Speaker 1: That's a good sign. He said, quote, there's an agreement
Speaker 1: between the US government and the Aliens. They signed a
Speaker 1: contract with us to do experiments here. They too are
Speaker 1: researching and trying to understand the whole fabric of the universe,
Speaker 1: and they want us as helpers. Um. I I just
Speaker 1: the signed a contract is where it goes a little
Speaker 1: too far. I was on board agreement maybe you know
Speaker 1: contract where they were they redlining? Did they get the
Speaker 1: lawyers involved? Are the Are the Aliens their own legal counsel?
Speaker 1: They're like, sorry, this this is actually a poison pill
Speaker 1: in this deal. We will not do it if it's
Speaker 1: if it's contained in the contract language. I don't, um,
Speaker 1: but they're saying one of the first hubs of cooperation
Speaker 1: is a base on Mars, where, by the way, astronauts
Speaker 1: have already set foot, American astronauts, and the basis underground.
Speaker 1: That's why you can't see it. I love Aliens. Two allions.
Speaker 1: My uncle has a ten telescope in New Hampshire and
Speaker 1: he was showing me Jupiter up close. I've I've said
Speaker 1: this before, I'll say it again. If I have a family,
Speaker 1: six kids, I need to be there for my family,
Speaker 1: and aliens come to me and say, hey, we'll take
Speaker 1: you with us. You can never come back here see
Speaker 1: anybody again, but you'll get to see the galaxy for
Speaker 1: what it is. I'd be like, let's go. I would go, okay,
Speaker 1: I want to prolog with that. But I will say
Speaker 1: this guy lost me when he plugged his book. He's
Speaker 1: coming out, he's got coming out, and that's where he
Speaker 1: lost me. You know, I know it. And even in
Speaker 1: a way though it's like you don't want this guy's
Speaker 1: book though, you know, even like as a thing off,
Speaker 1: like if he was talking that real ship, he's like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's so complex, like to say it used
Speaker 1: the word agreement would completely betray the forms of communication
Speaker 1: these life forms used. I would be like, whoa, okay,
Speaker 1: But when you're treating it like a fucking like just
Speaker 1: you know a funny comedy film where they was like, hey,
Speaker 1: let's collab on some research, fam like okay, and then
Speaker 1: even like his his explanation, it's like what what, where
Speaker 1: y'all been, Where the aliens been? What's going on? He
Speaker 1: mentioned Trump in there too. Yeah, he did say that
Speaker 1: Trump was on the verge of revealing all of this
Speaker 1: path Aliens in the Galactic Federation, which I think is
Speaker 1: literally a term from Star Trek, but maybe not. Aliens
Speaker 1: and the Galactic Federation are saying, wait, let everyone calm
Speaker 1: down first. They they don't want to start mass hysteria.
Speaker 1: They want to first make us saying and understanding. So
Speaker 1: here's why, Like, obviously I want to believe, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to always error on the side of yeah, this
Speaker 1: could be possible. The thing about the contract. So one
Speaker 1: of my theories on aliens is that they might end
Speaker 1: up being a lot more similar to us than we
Speaker 1: expect them to be because of parallel evolution and the
Speaker 1: fact that like when you look in Australia at like
Speaker 1: the wildlife that evolved there, and it like looks almost
Speaker 1: identical to wildlife that evolved independently in the US. It's
Speaker 1: like there, when you have the conditions of life in
Speaker 1: two different, seemingly different places, like they do end up
Speaker 1: cohering similarly. So I don't know, like, maybe maybe that
Speaker 1: is something that eventually always comes up and when when
Speaker 1: there's a civilization that has evolved to a certain point,
Speaker 1: maybe they're like, well, you gotta have contracts, man, I
Speaker 1: mean otherwise and then nothing separates us from the single
Speaker 1: cell to organisms. Please, I didn't come all this way
Speaker 1: to not have the legal paperwork and to protect my
Speaker 1: interests in this agreement, Earthling. But I'll so just like
Speaker 1: picturing the process of getting from respected in academic circles
Speaker 1: has this hugely powerful uh career, and now what makes
Speaker 1: like just selling books just being like yeah, like it
Speaker 1: just seems I don't know, I have I have a
Speaker 1: hard time imagining that evolution, like unless he was always
Speaker 1: all along, like had some suspicion that there was alien contact,
Speaker 1: Like he just given his mouth shut because it's going
Speaker 1: to cost him his job all the time. They're like, dude,
Speaker 1: you gotta knock that shut off, like like we're serious
Speaker 1: scientists and he's just using like the same ship that
Speaker 1: UFO heads in the US used, Like I'm just saying
Speaker 1: roswell though, dog look at this viral video, Dude, what
Speaker 1: about that beam of light above tel Aviva just shot
Speaker 1: up in the sky? What was that? I have it
Speaker 1: from multiple angles. It's like that was doctored. We already
Speaker 1: talked about this doctor alright, it did a great job
Speaker 1: on it, you know, yeah, no, I mean it looks
Speaker 1: like it looks like I wonder if to like yeah,
Speaker 1: like at a certain point, you know, this is like
Speaker 1: his like breaking bad like kind of thing was like,
Speaker 1: fuck it, I got nothing on this alien ship and
Speaker 1: get a book deal and get my little check. So
Speaker 1: I can, you know, just buy my retirement cabin and
Speaker 1: live life comfortably because my government pension is running out.
Speaker 1: So I gotta exploit that position to say some wild
Speaker 1: alien ship. I don't know that would be a smart
Speaker 1: move though, because instantly right like it's a it's this
Speaker 1: has been a global headline because of because of the
Speaker 1: position he helped. So it's like just if so if
Speaker 1: you just have that former title to give you any authority,
Speaker 1: keep in mind, anybody in any position with authority, you
Speaker 1: can do this. Come out with some outlanders ship. That
Speaker 1: would just be like up end the general accepted knowledge
Speaker 1: of your industry, and people like what the formerhead of
Speaker 1: what said? What but this huh? And then people will
Speaker 1: laugh you out, but you'll get your little shine. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So you're you're officially on this guy's uh lost it
Speaker 1: or is just trying to sell books ship, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean I like the energy. I love I love
Speaker 1: the energy of someone who's gonna like completely change the
Speaker 1: game on us like this and be like, no, y'all
Speaker 1: not listening. They have signed fucking contracts, okay. And Trump
Speaker 1: almost sucked it all up. And then the aliens were like, nah,
Speaker 1: found just dead that for a second because the people
Speaker 1: are not ready for us to do our grand reveal.
Speaker 1: So if you could just sit on that, we would
Speaker 1: appreciate that. And Donald Trump was like bet, and you
Speaker 1: know that's basically who our president is. He respects the
Speaker 1: you know, agency of these aliens to themselves. I just
Speaker 1: love it. It's like it's also tough down too, because
Speaker 1: we're we're like having this conversation in society right now
Speaker 1: about believing the scientists and buying any of these people.
Speaker 1: I'm like, this guy is an academic, super respected. He
Speaker 1: ran their space program, So this is somebody who we
Speaker 1: should buy into, right, Like we should say like I
Speaker 1: need like for something like this. It's like, yo, you
Speaker 1: need I need you to bring another few friends with you.
Speaker 1: The ratios aren't good here for a thing like this,
Speaker 1: I need better ratios. I need like five other people
Speaker 1: who like y'all can actually be like yo, yo, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're not going to tell y'all, but that one mission
Speaker 1: look into that, and then I would be like, oh oh,
Speaker 1: but if the aliens are out there trying to get
Speaker 1: us to be more reasonable, you know, I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: where did this vaccine come from? It's all of a
Speaker 1: sudden we got a vaccine this accurate or effective. Come on, dude,
Speaker 1: you think they aliens didn't give that to us? What then?
Speaker 1: Did you think I was talking about Operation Warp Speed.
Speaker 1: I was on the fucking USS Enterprise, motherfucker secure in
Speaker 1: the vaccine. There's no way he was down. I was
Speaker 1: in the hospital. I was doing deals in fucking zebulon
Speaker 1: three six nine das Z. There's no way he'd be
Speaker 1: able to uh not brag about that ship I know,
Speaker 1: actually brokering this deal right, because he's gonna do. We've
Speaker 1: heard about his negotiating tactics. He's gonna be in. There's like,
Speaker 1: nice to meet you alien people. I'm surprisingly calm in
Speaker 1: this negotiation, but I just want to shut up by
Speaker 1: saying fuck you and he walks out. That's right, That's right. Ship.
Speaker 1: That is the main thing that keeps me from believing
Speaker 1: this is the idea that Trump would be able to,
Speaker 1: you know, put his own behind the greater good of
Speaker 1: the species relationship to our alien leaders. Um yeah, well, uh,
Speaker 1: stay tuned, I guess also stay tuned to what Trump
Speaker 1: has to say when he's out of office. Connor, it

Speaker 1: out in some words and you're used to hearing like
Speaker 1: more like American, like Black English saying certain words and
Speaker 1: then suddenly yet laka in it or whatever of some
Speaker 1: kind of idiom or something like that. But the track
Speaker 1: of goals it's called Evil and it's I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's like just one of those things. It's it's it's
