Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. Uh. These are some of our favorite segments
Speaker 1: from this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment
Speaker 1: laugh stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is
Speaker 1: the Weekly Zeitgeist really jam before we get to any
Speaker 1: of that, what's something from your search history that will
Speaker 1: allow us to judge you? Oh wow, Well, yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess you can judge me for this new tone on
Speaker 1: the topic. Yeah, we have your search history right here,
Speaker 1: and it says I I have been watching, uh a
Speaker 1: lot of murder, she wrote this fall. Hell, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a lot of anxiety. Yeah, it's yeah, there's two because
Speaker 1: I was really trying to unpack why I find it
Speaker 1: so calming. I think it's because you can watch an
Speaker 1: episode and everything gets solved in you know, forty two
Speaker 1: minutes or whatever. Yeah, and you don't live where the
Speaker 1: murder rate is the highest in the entire history of
Speaker 1: the world of any town US a week, everyone in
Speaker 1: that town is having an affair with everyone else, everyone's
Speaker 1: plotting to kill someone. It's it's the worst place to live.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I find it's very calming. Oddly, and also,
Speaker 1: like I find like my anxiety about like aging and
Speaker 1: mortality are oddly soothed by it because you think about
Speaker 1: Angela Lansbury, like she's been she's still alive and she's
Speaker 1: been an old lady my entire life. She's still alive.
Speaker 1: It's wild man. She even she came here to Toronto
Speaker 1: and did like a stage show, like a play a
Speaker 1: few years ago, and I wish I had gone now.
Speaker 1: But Angela Lansbury is still alive. Yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 1: hope nothing happens between when we record this in one
Speaker 1: day and she's wow, wow, good on you, Angela. So
Speaker 1: yeah that that that makes me happy. So I've been
Speaker 1: watching British wrote I think I tweeted something out about it,
Speaker 1: and someone responded, uh, that's Angela Lansbury's daughter used to
Speaker 1: hang out with Charles Manson. So I googled that. That
Speaker 1: was something that I felt I had to look into it.
Speaker 1: It was just something she like dropped in an interview
Speaker 1: for no reason. She just brought up like Charlie. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we used to kick it with Charlie. Yeah, I remember
Speaker 1: we were all writing songs together for a little bit.
Speaker 1: To shame, those albums never got traction but have you
Speaker 1: heard those manson family recordings? It's like shitty Beach Boys.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, it's like boys written by Yeah, well
Speaker 1: they did one. He was hanging out with one of them. Yeah, Dennis.
Speaker 1: Yeah Haysbert or a superproducer on it, hasn't he called
Speaker 1: him Dennis Dennis Hazelberger. Yeah, what's funny? How and this
Speaker 1: is a complete aside. How our idea of Dennis Haysbert
Speaker 1: has evolved over time based on how old you are, Like,
Speaker 1: if you're consuming eighties media, you know him from Major
Speaker 1: League J and I used to just think he was
Speaker 1: Joe Boo, not even Pedro Serrano, which was his actual
Speaker 1: player name, but Joe Boo, the idol. He would all
Speaker 1: kinds of funked up and problematic um. And then after
Speaker 1: that when he was on twenty four and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, Joe Boo's working still, and then people
Speaker 1: like Dennis Haysbert is putting in a performance, like, oh
Speaker 1: ship Dennis Haysbert. But then some people only know him
Speaker 1: as the All State guy. Yeah, yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: he's Dennis Haysburg. Dave Chappelle played him in a sketch
Speaker 1: over the Weekend, which is why we were talking about it.
Speaker 1: M hmm. It was pretty funny. Yes, he had like
Speaker 1: a voice changer. Oh, by the way, have you seen
Speaker 1: the original the Manchurian candidate. Lansbury is in very pretty
Speaker 1: but also playing like an older woman in for in
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty two. She's playing like it's not like she's
Speaker 1: like a young like you know, the love interest. She's
Speaker 1: the love interest of the older politician and like she
Speaker 1: pulling the strings behind the scenes. She was only like
Speaker 1: ten years older than Laurence Harvey who played her son
Speaker 1: that movie. Yeah, they still had since she had old
Speaker 1: lady energy back then. Yeah. Oh she was his mom,
Speaker 1: not his wife. Yeah, I think she was his mom,
Speaker 1: fild that's right, because he was like a young soldier. Yea.
Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated? Solar energy? Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, Um it's cheap right now, right, Like it's
Speaker 1: cheap to get it installed and the sun just comes
Speaker 1: out and the technology is catching up where it doesn't
Speaker 1: they don't need like a bazillion of them to run
Speaker 1: your house, right. I remember when I was like, uh,
Speaker 1: back in the campaigning days, there's a ballot proposition I
Speaker 1: was working on back in two thousand and eight to
Speaker 1: try and get more renewables in the state, and like
Speaker 1: one of our you know, sort of case studies, we
Speaker 1: had to be like, no, y'all don't understand, like solar
Speaker 1: is fucking way more efficient. We don't have to burn
Speaker 1: fucking coal or you know, blow off mountaintops to get
Speaker 1: this ship. And just you know, it's the sun and
Speaker 1: we have deserts here in California where you know, at
Speaker 1: the time, the technology was something like, uh like a
Speaker 1: ten mile ten square miles solar farm in the desert
Speaker 1: could have powered like most of the state and Oregon
Speaker 1: in Washington. Uh, you know, if we had actually just
Speaker 1: had an updated transmission grid and things like that. But
Speaker 1: the problem is our grid is still fucking archaic, uh
Speaker 1: in certain parts of the countries. And that's one of
Speaker 1: the things that really holds back our ability to transmit
Speaker 1: this newer kind of energy. Yeah. Do you think that
Speaker 1: fossil fuel companies Probably no that and then that's why
Speaker 1: they uh by politicians to prevent that. It was funny
Speaker 1: because we got this oil guy uh t Boon Pickens, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Teboon Pickens was basically one of the big, big cheerleaders
Speaker 1: for it, because he was just smart enough to be like, now,
Speaker 1: the money's gonna be in renewables, Like I know where
Speaker 1: I came from, but if I'm looking at this ship
Speaker 1: down the road, like there's a ticking clock on on
Speaker 1: on this fossil fuel ship, and the real money's going
Speaker 1: to be in renewables. So we were like, he like
Speaker 1: he helped be sort of like we would point him like,
Speaker 1: you know this guy, you know he might he might
Speaker 1: also know about the solar stuff to get people who
Speaker 1: are a little bit more uh, I guess, you know,
Speaker 1: reluctant about how viable the energy source was. Oh I
Speaker 1: got hammered years ago in a airport bar with a
Speaker 1: bunch of wind so wind and solar dudes, and this
Speaker 1: guy was just too He's like, yeah, we knew that
Speaker 1: that the oil people called on to the future because
Speaker 1: it used to be just a bunch of hippies at
Speaker 1: this convention and now motherfucker's in suits are everywhere. Keepings
Speaker 1: that's interest just the greatest name for oil billionaire t
Speaker 1: Boone Pickings. He owns a two hundred and fifty million
Speaker 1: dollar ranch in Texas that has levels it's like on
Speaker 1: top of a wedding cake of landscaping. Um, it's pretty
Speaker 1: dope looking. Uh. Is there a musician named t T
Speaker 1: Bone something? Now you're thinking a T Bone Burnett who
Speaker 1: keep Bone Burnett always called him T Bone Pickens because
Speaker 1: I had heard both those names and uh mashed them
Speaker 1: together in my brain. Um, what is some T bone
Speaker 1: to the basis from halland Oates? I don't think I
Speaker 1: am little from experience. Your name is Tony and you're cool.
Speaker 1: He was also in the SNL band Jam you you
Speaker 1: dove in and did some research into this conspiracy theory
Speaker 1: that's starting to crop up more and more. That's called
Speaker 1: the Hammer or it's around a computer, a supercomputer called
Speaker 1: the Hammer, and a piece of software called the Scorecard
Speaker 1: that comes from this dude, Dennis Montgomery, who was a
Speaker 1: fascinating figure I didn't know about. Yeah, I mean neither.
Speaker 1: I thought this was really fascinating. He he runs, of
Speaker 1: course we know now he runs the deep State computer
Speaker 1: that hacked all the votes and gave Biden the wind,
Speaker 1: which is called the Hammer, and I guess the software
Speaker 1: is called, uh the scorecard. But yeah, I guess this
Speaker 1: will pick up traction like Bannon and people have been
Speaker 1: talking about it on podcasts, and like I searched on Twitter,
Speaker 1: and certainly there are a lot of like either bots
Speaker 1: or you know, sort of all right trolls tweeting about
Speaker 1: about the hammer. But so it's it's all kind of
Speaker 1: based on the idea that this whistleblower, Dennis Montgomery, who
Speaker 1: used to be like a c I a kind of
Speaker 1: contractor UH was was kind of blowing the lid off
Speaker 1: of this hammer UH computer narrative. But like it's so
Speaker 1: easy to just look him up, Like he has a
Speaker 1: Wikipedia page that just has all of these crazy uh
Speaker 1: exploits that he has been involved with. Like the the
Speaker 1: wackiest one was after nine eleven in the early two
Speaker 1: thousand's he got more than twenty million dollars in government
Speaker 1: contracts for his patented software that would quote fine terrorist
Speaker 1: plots in uh hidden in broadcasts on Al Jazeera. That's
Speaker 1: oh he got how much weight? The government paid him
Speaker 1: more than twenty million dollars too. He said, like you
Speaker 1: could like freeze Al Jazero shows and like decode the
Speaker 1: pixels on the TV that would give you times and
Speaker 1: coordinates for where to find the next terrorist plot. And
Speaker 1: this wasn't just like a random thing. They paid money
Speaker 1: for it and didn't like he the advice of like
Speaker 1: flights were grounded as a result of this, like a
Speaker 1: counter terrorist operation uh went through on Obama's inauguration day
Speaker 1: apparently because of this, Like and it was just obviously
Speaker 1: a total scam, Like it's a con. Shit that's so
Speaker 1: brilliant though of like weaponizing Islamophobia for your con job.
Speaker 1: It's almost like what Yasa or Leicester does with like
Speaker 1: fedoras for freedom about being like watch this, I'll tell
Speaker 1: these white people were a fedora to show your an
Speaker 1: ally of the Black Lives Matter moment, Like I'll weaponize that.
Speaker 1: And this one's like oh yeah, just so you know,
Speaker 1: because you have you're so afraid of of of Muslims
Speaker 1: that I have a thing that will de scramble their
Speaker 1: TV shows and reveal the hidden message because you already
Speaker 1: are so fucking are gone that you're like, yep, that's
Speaker 1: like the glasses and they live. They just like to
Speaker 1: show you the reality. So people said about like the
Speaker 1: devil working through he Man when we were kids, The
Speaker 1: devil does work through he Man. Okay, yeah yeah, And
Speaker 1: there's like other things like he was keep it moving
Speaker 1: jam Let's the Devil does work. Okay, he was like
Speaker 1: a confidential informant for for Sheriff Joe or Pio, who
Speaker 1: like conned him out of a hundred and twenty dollars
Speaker 1: claiming too Yeah, exactly, Uh, using his supercomputer to to
Speaker 1: prove a conspiracy between like the judge and his racial
Speaker 1: discrimination case and and the prosecutor. Uh. And then he
Speaker 1: was also lifting desperate racists. Yeah, this guy's kind of
Speaker 1: a hero. Yeah, it's kind of amazing. Really, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know why this isn't like a podcast or
Speaker 1: a mini series or something unbelievable. I can't believe that
Speaker 1: this guy actually exists and has gotten that rich off
Speaker 1: of this stuff. So how does he now factor into
Speaker 1: the this election? Well, you see, the main ingredient in
Speaker 1: all of these is that he has a supercomputer called
Speaker 1: the Hammer that he's able to use to decoupee. He's
Speaker 1: been using the Hammer. He created the Hammer a long
Speaker 1: time ago. He's he's a computer god, Tony Stark, and
Speaker 1: he has been using the Hammer to like dig into
Speaker 1: all this information and decode Al Jazeera. And now yeah,
Speaker 1: now he's claiming that they I think he's claiming that
Speaker 1: they used his computer to steal the election, and now
Speaker 1: he's like blowing the whistle, Is that right, jam, Yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: And there's even more stuff, there's even more stories. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's worth reading about because just fascinating and just
Speaker 1: also like the idea that he's one of the at
Speaker 1: least like his his kind of theories are are one
Speaker 1: of the conspiracies that people are using this selection when
Speaker 1: there's just so many examples of him literally using the
Speaker 1: same supercomputer narrative in these cons It's it's amazing, it's hilarious,
Speaker 1: and yeah, please please make this a mini series with
Speaker 1: Paul Giamatti or someone I. The one thing is, I
Speaker 1: don't think anyone would like the people who are buying
Speaker 1: into the idea that Biden used the supercomputer to steal
Speaker 1: the election are probably not skeptical of the idea that
Speaker 1: he could use his supercomputer to decode Al Jazeera and
Speaker 1: uh find out like the coordinates of the next terratach
Speaker 1: like that that's true. Yeah, Yeah, they're probably just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, man, this guy's a credible source. He's the
Speaker 1: guy who found stopped all those terrator x in that
Speaker 1: reality because their lives are so boring. All of the
Speaker 1: data is out there for them to solve crimes from
Speaker 1: the comfort of their homes, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's like it's actually you just pause al Jazera and
Speaker 1: you look at that, and that's how you save the country. Actually,
Speaker 1: if you just go to this pizza restaurant and check
Speaker 1: out the basement, uh, you might be able to stop
Speaker 1: a child trafficking ring. Actually, if you just look at
Speaker 1: the first letter of each word in this article as
Speaker 1: spells out the storm is coming. Therefore, it's like wow,
Speaker 1: So if if nothing requires expertise, then everyone's an expert.
Speaker 1: And that's like the real danger with all this ship.
Speaker 1: It does feel like all these conspiracies are coming from
Speaker 1: someone just like looking around their room trying to say, like, uh,
Speaker 1: there's a pizza pizza parlor conspiracy and TV and right,
Speaker 1: it's just like shitty verbal kent from usual suspects. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's literally what they did, because like the
Speaker 1: Pizza Gate conspiracy came from a email dump, right, So
Speaker 1: like they the Wicked Leaks email dump, and they just
Speaker 1: went through the random, boring, monotonous day to day ship
Speaker 1: that people email about and like crafted a conspiracy out
Speaker 1: of that. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll
Speaker 1: come back, and we're back. So there, there's an article
Speaker 1: in the Houston Chronicle that is, you know, quoting insiders
Speaker 1: who say that, like the the Washington elite is very
Speaker 1: nervous about what Trump is going to be like as
Speaker 1: a ex president. Above all things, he is a x
Speaker 1: O x O gossip girl. He does love the t
Speaker 1: He's still talking about how bad the Vanity Fair Party
Speaker 1: was that he didn't get invited to UM like two
Speaker 1: years ago after the Oscars, And he's gonna exit office
Speaker 1: with all the intel that they let him get his
Speaker 1: brain on, and like, you know, no fox to give,
Speaker 1: which has always been the case. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like you put him in a room with
Speaker 1: any one of us in a bugs bunny lady disguise,
Speaker 1: and I bet we could get him to tell us
Speaker 1: who really killed JFK with like just some very light
Speaker 1: nagging and showing a little thigh. Here's my problem. Here's
Speaker 1: my problem with that. You have to have a working
Speaker 1: understanding of how all that works to truly know what
Speaker 1: the truth is, especially JFK. Right, Yeah, that's that dude,
Speaker 1: doesn't he could tell us probably the name of the
Speaker 1: dudes that pulled the triggers because they told him, but
Speaker 1: like who those dudes were, who they were connecting, Like,
Speaker 1: there's no way he knows. And I think they've been
Speaker 1: letting the alien stuff out his whole presidency just because
Speaker 1: they're prepared us. Yes, because they're like, he's gonna say
Speaker 1: some stupid so we've got to just be able to
Speaker 1: just like, listen, there are some stuff we don't know about.
Speaker 1: You guys are right. What he's gonna say is not true.
Speaker 1: So here's just we're just gonna spoon. He's gonna claim
Speaker 1: he rode in one of those ships. He's like, you
Speaker 1: should have seen, you know, they let your right into stuff.
Speaker 1: And we were out there going bing bing bing around.
Speaker 1: It was really it was fucking tight. Man. Again, I
Speaker 1: can't tell you enough. Um, Yeah, I guess that or
Speaker 1: a neuralizer or you know, we'll we'll find out some
Speaker 1: wild ship. I guess he won't suddenly be trustworthy, So
Speaker 1: that's one thing. It's not like we'll suddenly believe what
Speaker 1: he has to say. I think he also, the way
Speaker 1: he beat COVID is probably going to reveal some medical
Speaker 1: stuff that only fucking, really really rich people know about.
Speaker 1: He didn't about. Yeah, they just hooked. There was a
Speaker 1: baby hooked up to an ivy and then he was
Speaker 1: on the other end of that ivy. Um. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: is he? I mean between his like just his march
Speaker 1: into sinility and things, I'm curious how it, you know,
Speaker 1: because he is going to do some ship like that.
Speaker 1: He's like, Oh, why don't we talk about this thing
Speaker 1: that I when I was president, Because he's actually gonna
Speaker 1: be this guy who was the president who has a
Speaker 1: fun because like a Twitter idiot. Now who's just gonna
Speaker 1: be like just wholesale, like say, some weird fucking thing.
Speaker 1: And how they get around that. I'm it's really hard
Speaker 1: to know. I feel like if he's smart, he monetizes
Speaker 1: is the like the fact that he has this information
Speaker 1: and tries to like create some kind of like subscription
Speaker 1: Patreon podcast something was like the T report with Donald
Speaker 1: T about other things that went down at Thanks guys
Speaker 1: and shout out to our sponsors my pet for having us.
Speaker 1: You know, like I think that's that seems like a
Speaker 1: way to continue like give like he can play that
Speaker 1: ship for more attention. At some point, he's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like that's attention is exactly right. He's going
Speaker 1: to be at his most dangerous not when like he's
Speaker 1: in trouble or like broke. It's gonna be when people
Speaker 1: stop paying attention to him, because that's when he's going
Speaker 1: to go in on on Twitter and like starts you know,
Speaker 1: dropping bombs, telling uh, telling people things he shouldn't. I
Speaker 1: could also see, like you know how he's gonna have
Speaker 1: like a kin Lay heart attack too, right right, that's
Speaker 1: do you think ken Lay? Now? What is your so
Speaker 1: ken Lay was the Enron CEO or president who uh wow,
Speaker 1: like as everybody was figuring out exactly how much Enron
Speaker 1: was a pyramid scheme, had a heart attack and had
Speaker 1: the most convenient heart attack and history of the world,
Speaker 1: do you think that that was ken Lay just kind
Speaker 1: of disappearing. Yeah, when you steal that much money? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you go oh bye. He's too narcissistic to fake his
Speaker 1: own death. I think who Trump? Trump? I think okay,
Speaker 1: I was like yeah, no, no Trump. I think would
Speaker 1: would do it, but like two days he would show
Speaker 1: up at his own funeral if he wouldn't be able
Speaker 1: to resist, and like, yeah, is that who I got
Speaker 1: with me. It's like, who's that blonde woman? It's John
Speaker 1: Bennett Ramsey and you believe it. Look at her. She's
Speaker 1: sucking hot huh and likes out of here. Please, what
Speaker 1: the fun is this? I could also see the way
Speaker 1: that Obama and other former presidents sell out to corporations
Speaker 1: and just you know, like having them in the pocket
Speaker 1: of a corporation is incredibly valuable. I can see Trump
Speaker 1: doing that with foreign dictators, like oh my, yeah, my,
Speaker 1: My whole guess is he bounces because he can't stay
Speaker 1: in America because they'll arrest him for like hundred million things. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I could definitely see a Putin relationship that. No, I
Speaker 1: think it's I think it's too cold, he's old. I
Speaker 1: think he's going to Dubai uh huh, or the I
Speaker 1: think he's hanging out there. It's just a great place
Speaker 1: to be. He'll do signings, yes, like all those other billionaires.
Speaker 1: It's I mean, I tweeted this, but it is Arizona
Speaker 1: for criminal billionaires, is right, right, Yeah, it's everything's gold
Speaker 1: and awful. It's just perfect for him. Wow, Yeah, Dubai
Speaker 1: is really But then he'll be like he's like I
Speaker 1: don't know, man, it's kind of expensive. You should see
Speaker 1: what they're trying to charge me for a ment here
Speaker 1: because aaire No, he would be a garbage person there.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have real money. Yeah, but that's why I think,
Speaker 1: like the way that putin like parks billions of dollars
Speaker 1: with the people around him, I could see him cozy
Speaker 1: enough to putin to try and get some of that
Speaker 1: some of that free laundering money. Well that's yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that they still need that name. Now. My fascination is
Speaker 1: why the kids are still in this country. It's because
Speaker 1: they don't understand the hammer. They're dumb. They're dumb, right,
Speaker 1: they think like the like break them out of jail,
Speaker 1: like the scene and swat like fucking bust taking him
Speaker 1: to fucking court. It's like that was US three. You'd
Speaker 1: be like that being lauding jet flying out of town.
Speaker 1: Yeah you're not eleven, that's exactly what that. Yeah, bye,
Speaker 1: I would have been out Monday before the election. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't even fuck that tomorrow tomorrow. Oh wait, you
Speaker 1: said record turnout for mailing already. Okay, yeah, I'm about
Speaker 1: of here. No fucking stuffed animals behind we gotta get
Speaker 1: the funk out of here. No I need that Louis
Speaker 1: Vuitton trunk yet, that's that's all I need. It's like
Speaker 1: the fucking anyway. It's a sad state. But again with
Speaker 1: this thing is he can't be seen as a like
Speaker 1: a loser. And that's really all the reports you read
Speaker 1: about everything to do with this like dragging on transition
Speaker 1: is all to do with managing his like idea of
Speaker 1: or his fear of being painted as a loser in
Speaker 1: this election, and that like, as they say, all this
Speaker 1: scrambling is about him getting over this first, and yeah,
Speaker 1: it's all mentally like giving him a life fest. Like
Speaker 1: the Bill Barr thing is in particular is pretty interesting
Speaker 1: because it's basically Bill Barr being like, you're allowed to
Speaker 1: investigate if there's stuff to investigate, but not committing to it.
Speaker 1: So it's very similar to Mitch McConnell's statement where he's
Speaker 1: in every right to look at his legal options there
Speaker 1: are cases of and that they're all using that as
Speaker 1: like a you know, if there's fraud then he should
Speaker 1: look into it, but you know, because there's not fraud
Speaker 1: then but he still gets to feel it's like he's
Speaker 1: a little kid and he's sitting on the dock and
Speaker 1: his his fishing pole in his line is in the
Speaker 1: middle of a dry pond. It all is and all
Speaker 1: is well. If it's Biden, well his whole thing is.
Speaker 1: You know, in the beginning, people were not sure where
Speaker 1: the d o J was going to go with this.
Speaker 1: Just how far is Bill Barr willing to go? And
Speaker 1: you know he did this last time, Like the last
Speaker 1: year was spent with him going on a fun in
Speaker 1: expedition to try and find some evidence of impropriety that
Speaker 1: the president was fucking violated when the intelligence organizations were
Speaker 1: looking into any foreign interference and like that's what they're like,
Speaker 1: we need that to negate all the Russia stuff, and
Speaker 1: then we can say that like he was treated unfairly.
Speaker 1: Please and then maybe that one narrow carter page fives
Speaker 1: a thing. We'll we'll hang on to that too, and
Speaker 1: maybe we can just disprove everything. Remember they found fuck
Speaker 1: all even though they did everything they could. Durham his
Speaker 1: like man, his attorney from the from from d o J,
Speaker 1: did everything it could, but in the end was like, yo,
Speaker 1: we can't find a fun like honestly, like there's nothing here,
Speaker 1: like these people just did their job based on the
Speaker 1: evidence that we're looking at the same ship. So it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: this is the same thing, but this is even just
Speaker 1: like lamer because he's not even like all this was
Speaker 1: is sort of articulating a new policy. And even then
Speaker 1: it gets very very detailed in that it's sort of
Speaker 1: more like, you know, if it has to be credible,
Speaker 1: it can't be fanciful and fucking stupid, Like he's already
Speaker 1: even defining like it's got to be legit, Like don't
Speaker 1: you can't even fucking go off of some ship. Some
Speaker 1: person on one American News forwarded you a fucking chain
Speaker 1: email about like it has to be fucking substantive and
Speaker 1: also have potential to change the outcome of the election,
Speaker 1: which none of these things do. So it really is
Speaker 1: like a I think, you know whatever, if it's bar
Speaker 1: like is really trying at the very least or most
Speaker 1: is that it just gives Trump this ability to be like, look,
Speaker 1: I didn't lose loocause do you see what DJ is doing,
Speaker 1: Bill Barr. He's saying he's allowing people to look into fraud,
Speaker 1: So I'm not actually a loser. It's all because he
Speaker 1: can't say I lost. All he needs to do. They're
Speaker 1: giving him legal is what they're doing, right, because it
Speaker 1: doesn't actually solve your problems. It does are just like, man,
Speaker 1: I'm not freaking out about how owned I got right
Speaker 1: now and also what I do last night exactly. And
Speaker 1: then it's like it's like it's it's it's like if
Speaker 1: a bear is inside your condo in the woods, okay,
Speaker 1: and you're like, all right, let's just tranchuilize him and
Speaker 1: then once he finally falls asleep, and it will take
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, but then we can move him
Speaker 1: out completely. Right. He's just he's one I don't yeah,
Speaker 1: and they're like there's expensive stuff in there, and there's
Speaker 1: that red button. He still doesn't understand what the power
Speaker 1: of that red phone. Thank god, there's just like a
Speaker 1: keeps picking it up and asking for a diet coke.
Speaker 1: And thank god he can't read because those things we
Speaker 1: deliver to him every morning. Good secrets. I said that
Speaker 1: three years ago, was like, if he just on, you
Speaker 1: can tell he's a bad business person, just because from
Speaker 1: that information alone, if you knew how to do business
Speaker 1: good right. The thing that's also really just sad or
Speaker 1: you know, whatever, we can celebrate. They're so these lawsuits too.
Speaker 1: Like the reason Bill Barr is coming in is because
Speaker 1: the lawsuits from the campaign are fucking just failing left
Speaker 1: and right. Like they they hedge their bets with voters suppression.
Speaker 1: That's really what was going on. They were hoping voter
Speaker 1: suppression was all they needed to eke out those margins
Speaker 1: on election day, and then their backup plans of like
Speaker 1: more crude fuckory they didn't even set up legally with
Speaker 1: enough time like to whether change like the how the
Speaker 1: electors were chosen and things like that. All that's out
Speaker 1: the windows. So now they're just dealing with like these
Speaker 1: really lame fucking lawsuits like in Arizona, where so much
Speaker 1: energy is being spent from the right to be like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, it's really close. Biden is
Speaker 1: ahead by fourteen thousand votes at the moment in Arizona.
Speaker 1: Here's my fears. What happened was they they were going
Speaker 1: to get sailory four years ago, so they had to
Speaker 1: back Trump with all these apparatus and all this power
Speaker 1: and mechanisms and these judges and all that stuff. This
Speaker 1: time they've already got their man. They've got Biden, he's
Speaker 1: in their pocket. Big businesses moved in, and these judges
Speaker 1: and all those things they put in. They don't give
Speaker 1: a funk about Trump. This is there there there. They
Speaker 1: were worried about their job four years ago. Trump has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with their job. Now, well they don't.
Speaker 1: They're not a pace in any of those like well
Speaker 1: just this kid until he can lead. Well, even even
Speaker 1: if they tried, right because I know, like I was like, well, fuck,
Speaker 1: you know, who knows what these judges are gonna do.
Speaker 1: I mean, even when you look at the cases that
Speaker 1: are brought, like even a judge who wanted Trump could win,
Speaker 1: it's like it's just impossible. So this the last suit
Speaker 1: in Arizona. That's what I mean by protect their job,
Speaker 1: Like they can't even be like listen, man, I can't
Speaker 1: even be. It's just like it's just they're like i'd
Speaker 1: have to invent and doing this corruptly. I would have
Speaker 1: to say that out, I would redefine the concept of mathematics.
Speaker 1: This is a this is just a bridge too far
Speaker 1: from me. So their whole thing in Arizona is all
Speaker 1: this thing over over votes, where like ballots are coming through,
Speaker 1: and they're saying like, well, it could have voted for
Speaker 1: two candidates or double the win candidate, and etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 1: We need to actually get through these over votes. And
Speaker 1: you know that it sounds all of nefarious and ship
Speaker 1: like that, but realistically it's typically just something where there's
Speaker 1: a pen mark or a dark smudge and the vote
Speaker 1: counting machine flags it, and they're like, up, a human
Speaker 1: needs to audit this ballot and just confirm, Okay, now
Speaker 1: that's where the vote is for. This person's marked. This
Speaker 1: other thing just triggered the machine to read like that
Speaker 1: and great, put it through. Done. So the Trump campaign
Speaker 1: is like, man, we got look, so of the hundred
Speaker 1: fifty thousand votes that were cast in person in this
Speaker 1: one county, uh, like the person who's in charge of
Speaker 1: the elections vireer. They're saying, like, the vote county machine
Speaker 1: only flagged a hundred eighty potential over votes out of
Speaker 1: the hundred yes, and and even like even then when
Speaker 1: they go through there like they were able to correct them.
Speaker 1: So they're saying, even if you wanted to go with
Speaker 1: this argument your lead that you're trying to overturn his
Speaker 1: fourteen thousand votes, and here you can only say that
Speaker 1: there you may need to review one hundred eighty votes.
Speaker 1: Then they're just like simply put, there is nothing here.
Speaker 1: There's no there's nothing that could even approach the margins
Speaker 1: that you're looking for. So it's well, it's like borderline
Speaker 1: massochistic at this point because you're like the more he's like, no,
Speaker 1: I need more facts and this and that, it's like okay,
Speaker 1: but the more they reveal, the harder you got your
Speaker 1: ass kicked. Dude. It's sad. Reminds me of talking to
Speaker 1: a JFK conspiracy theorist. Like I interviewed this one JFK
Speaker 1: conspiracy theorist who had like written books and was like
Speaker 1: had built his career on being a JFK conspiracy theorist.
Speaker 1: And I put this theory that I believe in in
Speaker 1: front of him where it's like an errant shop from
Speaker 1: a secret service agent that actually killed him, and he
Speaker 1: was like no, no, no, and then like just brought
Speaker 1: up like all these like other random unrelated facts that
Speaker 1: had would have had nothing to do with anything, but
Speaker 1: are just like things that you could be like that's suspicious, right,
Speaker 1: Like the their theory of the case on this voting
Speaker 1: is that they over vote. They made their ballots suspicious
Speaker 1: in order to cheat on the like at the election,
Speaker 1: like why would why would you over vote for two
Speaker 1: people as a way of cheating at an election? Is
Speaker 1: that like their theory of what happened, Jack O'Brien, this
Speaker 1: is Alex Jones. Um. Now, Now what I like to
Speaker 1: do on my show is I'll take something I've read
Speaker 1: and then connected with another thing I read that has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with anything, and I am the missing
Speaker 1: link to everything. That's exactly what they're doing of you,
Speaker 1: Alex Jones. Clip. Did you see that way he said?
Speaker 1: I love you, Alex Jones, Thanks so much. Get the
Speaker 1: funk out of here, Joe Ship. Yeah, I think he's
Speaker 1: probably charismatic in the room, if we're being honest, I
Speaker 1: bet he's bet. I bet it's hard not to agree.
Speaker 1: I bet look before like he had revealed all the
Speaker 1: like weird political show, I bet he you'd be like, Yo,
Speaker 1: you partied with Alex before? Oh, I hate was my
Speaker 1: little sacred for until he went, until I until I
Speaker 1: learned that people listened to him like he was telling
Speaker 1: you the truth, like he was just this day, I
Speaker 1: was like this is the funniest fucking radio show of
Speaker 1: ever heard, you guys, right, and then you know he's
Speaker 1: telling the truth, and I'm like, now, every now and
Speaker 1: then he is. But most of the time he's just
Speaker 1: saying that's like a lot of people who would listen
Speaker 1: to Art Bell, who would be with Info Wars too,
Speaker 1: because it's just like it's out there, man, Yes, that's it.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it was. And then people are like, no,
Speaker 1: it's it's real, right, No, no, no, no, that's like that.
Speaker 1: That was funny about Art Bell because you'd have like
Speaker 1: you'd have guests on who are like with their chests
Speaker 1: out there, like I'm telling you I went underground to
Speaker 1: the subterranean world and fun the lizard people, and you're like,
Speaker 1: this is great. This is my favorite Bell, my favorite
Speaker 1: art Bill one. It is where this this dude is
Speaker 1: convinced he shot uh a sasquatch in Oklahoma, but it's
Speaker 1: pretty clear we think he shot a dude. Give me
Speaker 1: and my friends were listened on the way home from
Speaker 1: a gig whennot and it's just it's on like he
Speaker 1: found it. He's like, this is my favorite one of
Speaker 1: the word listen. I was like that dude shot a man.
Speaker 1: He's like, That's what I've always thought, guy with a beard.
Speaker 1: The GOP another kind of theory that they have, or
Speaker 1: a thing that's gone viral, because as we were talking about,
Speaker 1: like right wing media, the conservative world is going wild
Speaker 1: right now, Like the number one app is that conservative Twitter,
Speaker 1: and like the podcast charts are being lit up by
Speaker 1: like Dan Bongino and uh, what's that other asshole Ben Shapiro.
Speaker 1: But how many of it is like curious motherfucker's on
Speaker 1: the left? Yeah, start listen. We're trying to who want
Speaker 1: to crip walk on some podcasts real quick? If you
Speaker 1: look at Twitter, like most of the if you look
Speaker 1: at any left or right, if you look at their replies,
Speaker 1: it's just the other side, right, yeah. Yeah. But another
Speaker 1: thing that's going viral on that side. Newt Gingrich and
Speaker 1: others have claimed that scores of deceased people voted in
Speaker 1: Michigan um and this was followed by a viral document
Speaker 1: containing people who voted for Biden, either due to fraud
Speaker 1: or some kind of uh necromancy spell. But CNN, so
Speaker 1: CNN just like took a sample of fifty of the
Speaker 1: names on the list and found that thirty seven were
Speaker 1: dead but hadn't voted. The rest are alive, and some
Speaker 1: of the alive ones didn't even vote. Lindsey Graham and
Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani so like they didn't have a single example,
Speaker 1: like just pulling a random list of fifty of them.
Speaker 1: It's just names, that's all. It is, the names of
Speaker 1: some dead people some living people who voted um and yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it's it's just an old copy of a Studio
Speaker 1: fifty four VP a list. You know what is odd?
Speaker 1: Roy Cone's on here too, Brookshields, Lindsay Graham, and Rudy
Speaker 1: Giuliani claimed they have evidence that dead people voted in Pennsylvania,
Speaker 1: but they haven't proved it yet. There is one woman
Speaker 1: who's going viral who died in October October two. Her
Speaker 1: daughter was like, yeah, she filled out her ballot before
Speaker 1: she died and sent it in and also she voted
Speaker 1: for Trump. So it's like they can't they can't find
Speaker 1: a single fucking example of the thing that of something
Speaker 1: that would even like remotely be something they could argue about.
Speaker 1: That's but that's what I'm talking about, Like they don't
Speaker 1: have that apparatus behind them they can Yeah, like, now
Speaker 1: it's just Rudy Giuliani and that sex offender in front
Speaker 1: of the front of the landscaping place where they're just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: what's up. You're not bored, are you? You have to
Speaker 1: tell me, you have to tell me, hey before I
Speaker 1: get on this bed and pull my pants off and
Speaker 1: jack off. You're not bored, are you. God Boie tweeted
Speaker 1: the other day that, uh, he feels sorry for Rudy
Speaker 1: because every time he tucks in his shirt he has
Speaker 1: to lay down on a bed going forward, just to
Speaker 1: just to make it seem like that's how he talks
Speaker 1: a shirted Oh man, holy shit, it's fucked up. I mean,
Speaker 1: the celebrations, it's just funny. Like all we can do
Speaker 1: is laugh and like to Billy's point, the people who
Speaker 1: are responding on Twitter, it's all people who are just
Speaker 1: just dancing on conservative Twitter graves at the moment. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's just tons of accounts that are just dedicated to
Speaker 1: to this content. Let's take a quick break, we'll be
Speaker 1: right back, and we're back. So the media is already
Speaker 1: kind of both sides in its way to a weird
Speaker 1: new reality that has sort of normalized the fact that
Speaker 1: the sitting president has refused to concede. They're acting like
Speaker 1: concessions no big deal as opposed to one of the
Speaker 1: norms that makes our peaceful transition of power possible. Um,
Speaker 1: they're they're just like, come on, guys, it's let's start
Speaker 1: healing with the GOP, even though the GOP is not
Speaker 1: allowing for for this to happen, allowing for a peaceful
Speaker 1: transition of power. And they're just like making ship up.
Speaker 1: They're even like they will admit behind closed doors they're
Speaker 1: making shut up. But Miles, you were noticing that like
Speaker 1: some weird ships going on the media in terms of
Speaker 1: this is how this country deals with itself. Uh. And
Speaker 1: Casey Hunt on MSNBC like said something like along the
Speaker 1: lines of like you know, like the Republicans you know
Speaker 1: in Congress, like you know, you have to give them
Speaker 1: credit for like quote like doing the work that keeps
Speaker 1: the country going or something like just the bare minimum.
Speaker 1: It's like, okay that they vote against like relief packages,
Speaker 1: is that really the work that's there? Their obstructionists, but
Speaker 1: still like doing this thing of like being like in
Speaker 1: case you're a Republican who just turned on MSNBC, we're
Speaker 1: nice okay, and you don't have to be scared, even
Speaker 1: though like you are completely fucking wrong about everything. And
Speaker 1: even Jake Tapper was like sort of cringing at the
Speaker 1: list of sort of like, you know, trying to take
Speaker 1: into account the people who have supported this administration and
Speaker 1: basically trying to like naming these people so you know
Speaker 1: that they will have to be held accountable if they
Speaker 1: are trying to re enter the halls of power. And
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know about that, if we
Speaker 1: should be doing that, I mean, I get it. It
Speaker 1: sounds nefarious and dark, but concepts. But so did Santa Okay,
Speaker 1: and we fucking love this guy, so yeah, and but
Speaker 1: yeah exactly, and they won't even check these votes twice,
Speaker 1: but they need to. So this whole thing is sort
Speaker 1: of along this idea of healing, right. Joe Bien was
Speaker 1: also like, hey, we're gonna work together. I will work
Speaker 1: with them, even though I saw what everyone else saw.
Speaker 1: These people have completely jettisoned themselves from reality and they're
Speaker 1: all about this idea of healing and healing the nation.
Speaker 1: And I'm just having such a hard time understanding, even
Speaker 1: in this context, how the media is gonna like take
Speaker 1: this tone of like why are we coddling trumpers on
Speaker 1: some like oh you poor baby, It's okay because it's
Speaker 1: in the name of healing, because I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: to to go there, Like the definition of healing is
Speaker 1: to cause a wound, injury or person to become sound
Speaker 1: or healthy again. So in this instance, the wounds are
Speaker 1: too Democracy, the poor, people of color, l g B,
Speaker 1: t q I, A community, Indigenous people, a lot of
Speaker 1: people unless you're in that group of like gen X
Speaker 1: and older cis head white Christian people. Uh, this has
Speaker 1: not been a good run, and you're seeing a lot
Speaker 1: of things that you would love to have changed. So
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that's the case, why isn't the
Speaker 1: healing going in that direction towards those people live names,
Speaker 1: towards those institutions I'm talking about, rather than the fucking
Speaker 1: goons who smashed up the place, like treating them like
Speaker 1: some fucked up emo teen werewolf who's like, oh I
Speaker 1: get it, baby, if the full moon came out and
Speaker 1: you're just going through some stuff, but let's come here,
Speaker 1: let yon, let's save your life. Like it's not like
Speaker 1: this is not the fucking time for that, Like we
Speaker 1: these are the people who are the enemies of all
Speaker 1: that is good. There's not a single thing, a policy
Speaker 1: point I can point to that shows any kind of
Speaker 1: humanity or empathy. So they need to be treated like that,
Speaker 1: not to say like, oh, we need to fucking like
Speaker 1: we need like violence against these people, but they need
Speaker 1: to be held to account and they need to be
Speaker 1: run the funk out of town. Like so, I don't
Speaker 1: know that that's where I'm the focus. The focus needs
Speaker 1: to be on the healing that needs to be done
Speaker 1: with the people who were, you know, physically abused by
Speaker 1: this administration and you know or just ideologically abused by
Speaker 1: this administration. Like just focus your healing if you have
Speaker 1: so much empathy, like focus your healing that way, that
Speaker 1: that needs to be the solution, like day is Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think it kind of comes back to that
Speaker 1: argument that was happening and that is still happening right
Speaker 1: after the election with um the Democratic leadership or parts
Speaker 1: of the Democratic leadership like Pelosi um saying that the
Speaker 1: reason I'm sure you guys talked about this, like the
Speaker 1: reason Democrats it's lost certain seats was because of defund
Speaker 1: the police, like was because because of this perceived radicalism
Speaker 1: and socialism on the left when and then they point
Speaker 1: to those races in red districts and they say, like, well, look,
Speaker 1: you know, just because progressives win in blue districts doesn't
Speaker 1: mean anything. But I think that that logic is just
Speaker 1: so fundamentally flawed because that this the like the fiery
Speaker 1: nous of the base on the left in the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party comes from people in BLM, comes from people who
Speaker 1: are appalled by ice. So like the idea that's saying
Speaker 1: defund ice is even uh so scary to these moderate
Speaker 1: Democrats is like such a bummer. Yeah, I mean, look
Speaker 1: what happened when Trump focused on the base like he
Speaker 1: had all time, you know, amazing turnout like that, and
Speaker 1: he and his eye ideas are far far more unpopular
Speaker 1: than the ideas from the progressive side. Like that's one
Speaker 1: thing that I feel like gets lost in all this
Speaker 1: is how unpopular, like even even with regards to them
Speaker 1: normalizing the well, we don't know who won the election
Speaker 1: yet thing eighty percent of Americans think Biden, one three
Speaker 1: percent think Trump did, like the American people know, and
Speaker 1: the media is still covering it like it's a fucking
Speaker 1: both sides that they're scared. They're scared. These people are
Speaker 1: all friends, right, and it's unfortunate that we are the
Speaker 1: ones that are going to feel the effects of their
Speaker 1: unwillingness to shake things up in their own circles, just
Speaker 1: like I was talking about when the uprisings were going down,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yo, white people, you need to fucking
Speaker 1: look around. And if you're if you're sitting on the
Speaker 1: sidelines while your friends are saying some racist ship and
Speaker 1: you just keep your mouth shut, you might as well
Speaker 1: just put the MAGA cap on too, because things aren't
Speaker 1: going to change unless you yourself as a human being
Speaker 1: in this no of information, take sentiments. Philosophies transmit the
Speaker 1: idea that I am here for inclusivity, I am here
Speaker 1: for equality, I am anti racist. This is not what
Speaker 1: I funk with. If you are, if this is your thing,
Speaker 1: we're not vibing. In fact, you should actually remove your
Speaker 1: energy from my circle because that's not what I'm here
Speaker 1: to uplift. I'm actually here to uplift people. And all
Speaker 1: these people in media they're in the same situation but
Speaker 1: can't do the work of actually expressing to their colleagues
Speaker 1: and the people they were like Yo, you're fucking trash bro.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Like, I can't have you on like this
Speaker 1: is fucking bullshit. You're gonna say something racist and I'm
Speaker 1: I'm not here for it. But they're not. They're not
Speaker 1: thinking like that. They're too comfortable with where they're at,
Speaker 1: so they're unwilling fear of discomfort. And there's something about
Speaker 1: moderate white people and maybe white culture in general, although
Speaker 1: I don't know how like Trump is um squares into that,
Speaker 1: but this, and I'm half Swedish, so I see it
Speaker 1: on my fucking Swedish side so hard. This fear of
Speaker 1: discomfort and this ear of conflict and this value that
Speaker 1: like at the dinner table you put politics aside is
Speaker 1: just so problematic. It's why white supremacism spreads. It's it's
Speaker 1: because of that fear. And I do truly see it
Speaker 1: on my Swedish side. Yeah, I don't, you know, don't
Speaker 1: want to, but that's the that's the comfort that these
Speaker 1: people have. But unfortunately, marginalized people do not know exactly
Speaker 1: what it's like to be uncomfortable constantly. So there's no
Speaker 1: there's there's no fear on this side to be like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out here with screaming in the streets.
Speaker 1: What I believe because I'm already on, I'm actually having
Speaker 1: to scream because I am uncomfortable. And the reason you
Speaker 1: are not screaming is because you are comfortable, and from
Speaker 1: your perspective, you cannot understand that. So the worst thing
Speaker 1: to happen to you is just make ship uncomfortable for
Speaker 1: you without seeing what what happens to everyone else. And
Speaker 1: it's it's had to see like how the Democrats do.
Speaker 1: They're like, and I hate to bring this up, some
Speaker 1: high school ship up, but they remind me of this
Speaker 1: homie I had in high school who was got pushed
Speaker 1: around a lot and I felt bad for him. He
Speaker 1: was he would like to sling drugs with me and
Speaker 1: was kind of like a fake tough guy. We were
Speaker 1: at a party in Northridge. Some dudes pulled up to
Speaker 1: him and said, YO, give me your chain, and he
Speaker 1: gave it to him. And then later on I'm not joking,
Speaker 1: they just said, YO, come up like you're running your
Speaker 1: fucking chain, bro, And he gave him that chain. Then
Speaker 1: he comes up to me and some of my other
Speaker 1: boys and like, and some of my friends who played
Speaker 1: football a bigger dudes, and like the party was mostly
Speaker 1: like someone we knew, so that these goons were outnumbered.
Speaker 1: But he's like, yo, man, they took my chain and
Speaker 1: were like, what the funk? Why didn't you say something?
Speaker 1: You just gave him your fucking chain. He's like, I
Speaker 1: didn't know like that, maybe they're going to do something.
Speaker 1: And I said, what the We'll go get your chain back,
Speaker 1: and he went. He comes back and he had the chain.
Speaker 1: I said. He's like, oh, good, you got your ship back.
Speaker 1: What did you say? Goes Oh, they said I could
Speaker 1: get it back for for forty bucks. You bought your
Speaker 1: chain back. That's what the Democrats remind me of. You
Speaker 1: know what I meant, You get fucking pushed around. Motherfucker's
Speaker 1: gonna take your chain. You're gonna you're gonna try and
Speaker 1: reach out to your friends and be like, hey, can
Speaker 1: you help me out? They took my chain and then
Speaker 1: you got your chain like, oh it wasn't because no, no,
Speaker 1: I bought it back. You got fucking played again. And
Speaker 1: it's just hard to see that there's this. There needs
Speaker 1: to be an actual people need to stand up to
Speaker 1: this because for all the talk of like how we're
Speaker 1: so close to a civil war. We're looking at the
Speaker 1: people who are going to continue to be a pain
Speaker 1: point or a source of instability, like then, so we
Speaker 1: need to actually handle that rather than like being like, okay,
Speaker 1: well here, that's fine. Let's let's name this is the
Speaker 1: Stephen Miller Children's Library, and this is the Ben Carson
Speaker 1: Institute of Neurologic. Will name these after them. So the
Speaker 1: Trumpers aren't mad, No, fuck that, you're fucking you're lost.
Speaker 1: There's less of you, and you just got to figure
Speaker 1: out what time it is. And the fact that we're
Speaker 1: dragging our feet because we don't want to make ignorant
Speaker 1: people uncomfortable is so fucked up. And it's dragging us
Speaker 1: to the right too. I mean, it's the reason that
Speaker 1: the center isn't the center anymore. Why the center is
Speaker 1: called radical socialism? Now, yeah, yeah, if you doubt that
Speaker 1: there's a corporate hierarchy at work in the mainstream media
Speaker 1: or in the two party political system, like the sixty
Speaker 1: nine percent of voters support medicare for all, and that
Speaker 1: is treated by the mainstream media like there's no mainstream
Speaker 1: media outlet like MSNBC doesn't cape for medicare for all.
Speaker 1: Like MSNBC is like, you know, that's that's impractical, like
Speaker 1: cause start like start thinking about ways that we can
Speaker 1: get this through our corporate overlords like that, And that's
Speaker 1: the furthest left you can get. Neither party is willing
Speaker 1: to even entertain the idea of medicare for all, and
Speaker 1: when uh an election happens, they slant the data to
Speaker 1: make it seem like, oh, you know, even the idea
Speaker 1: of medicare for all was scary, so scary to people
Speaker 1: that Trump almost won. Like it's just it's even though
Speaker 1: they walked into the wave off the back of that messaging,
Speaker 1: it's a mess of misinformation. I think I'm on public
Speaker 1: health care and it's great, It's fucking awesome. It's like
Speaker 1: the idea that anyone would not want this is like
Speaker 1: simply an information war that we lost. The same thing
Speaker 1: like what Prop twenty two was in California where probably
Speaker 1: for again I hate to bring local news to this show,
Speaker 1: but like this was a proposition that Uber and Lyft
Speaker 1: put together to a void treating their employees humanely, like
Speaker 1: actual employees rather than car parts. I think there was
Speaker 1: a funny tweet about that. Um and now you know,
Speaker 1: with so they have their people to message that they
Speaker 1: made it look like Prop twenty two was going to
Speaker 1: harm the drivers, much in the same way that the
Speaker 1: health insurance industry will message around how Medicare for All
Speaker 1: will limit your choices, your options, Because really, at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's it's not really any of
Speaker 1: the ship we're saying. It's the fact that it's going
Speaker 1: to eat into our profits and we are signing we're
Speaker 1: kind of on a trajectory where we need to make
Speaker 1: as much money as possible. So that's just that's kind
Speaker 1: of our north star. And I think, yeah, like with
Speaker 1: the Uber stuff, it's like literally the only reason they
Speaker 1: pushed that was to increase their profit margins because they
Speaker 1: had they had to be profitable by a certain point
Speaker 1: based on their projections or would get mad. Yeah, they'll
Speaker 1: get mad, right. Oh my god, have you guys heard
Speaker 1: the story? You got what you wanted, Mike, Now leave
Speaker 1: me alone. Oh I saw that tweet? Yeah? Is that
Speaker 1: an argument between my parents before they got divorced? Parts? Okay, no,
Speaker 1: I don't know. So. Uh. Mother was apparently like livid
Speaker 1: that Mike Pence didn't drop off of the ticket after
Speaker 1: the Access Hollywood tape um and was like actively rooting
Speaker 1: against her husband and Donald Trump in the election. And
Speaker 1: on election night, Karen Pence refused to kiss her husband.
Speaker 1: He went in for a little smoochy and she said,
Speaker 1: you got what you wanted, Mike, now leave me alone.
Speaker 1: Uh and just walked away, which is level of like
Speaker 1: fucking uppidness, uh and just unhappiness. And it also just
Speaker 1: like puts the last four years of him trying to
Speaker 1: teleport out of out of the room every time like
Speaker 1: Trump is doing something uncouth just like puts it into perfect.
Speaker 1: He's just you know, God, they don't believe in divorce
Speaker 1: or else she might have who knows the I wonder
Speaker 1: what if there is like a comedic like element where
Speaker 1: she has just been fucking with him the last four years,
Speaker 1: where like he's like, oh god, I know she's gonna
Speaker 1: she's gonna laugh at me again. I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen with mother this time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And like it looks pretty uh, pretty good. You're really
Speaker 1: in command in that meeting with Nancy and Trump. You
Speaker 1: you you nailed it. What were you mashing your eyes
Speaker 1: closed as just like a sign of how strong you were,
Speaker 1: How did he get you to roll over and show
Speaker 1: your belly like that from that ankle, Mike, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be He's gonna be demoted to alter boy back home. Uh?
Speaker 1: And then I mean, who gives a funk what happens there? Like,
Speaker 1: I just I hope I forget his name. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: hope they run him in instead of some other like populists.
Speaker 1: You know what, they were smart, they'd run if they
Speaker 1: were smart. Well if no, If they were smart, they
Speaker 1: would run as a party for working people. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: how they really. They would take that argument and they
Speaker 1: would say, look what, look at these fucking leather shoe
Speaker 1: wearing I don't know why I said leather shoe wearing,
Speaker 1: but these fancy motherfucker's. You know, that would be you'd
Speaker 1: have enough people who are like the people are failing
Speaker 1: to realize. The realist ship to people right now is
Speaker 1: like what their job prospects are, what their chances for
Speaker 1: stability are, What the chances for their future being and
Speaker 1: the futures of their children being good are. If whoever
Speaker 1: wins the race to begin to paint that future is
Speaker 1: going to fucking capture more minds, because that's what's real
Speaker 1: at a certain point, the partisanship will melt away on
Speaker 1: to a certain degree that a message like that is
Speaker 1: going to resonate much more than anything that's like shrouded
Speaker 1: in your left or right sort of vernacular lexicon, all
Speaker 1: that nonsense, like getting to that that's the dangerous ship.
Speaker 1: And that's the thing that Trump was kind of doing
Speaker 1: that that's the other thing in sixteen. But he was
Speaker 1: the thing. He became. He became the man, so he
Speaker 1: could no longer talk about sucking the man up because
Speaker 1: I was him. So he just didn't know how to pivot. Well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and also he's just like completely corrupt and you know,
Speaker 1: thrives on He is, uh, first and foremost a businessman,
Speaker 1: an American businessman, an American capitalist, and the definition of
Speaker 1: that is corruption. And so he was just like when
Speaker 1: he got into power, the thing he knew how to
Speaker 1: do was to give them a bunch of like tax
Speaker 1: breaks and just like you know, make it so that
Speaker 1: corporations had an unfair advantage. Um. And yeah, that's that's interesting.
Speaker 1: I mean it's like I feel like the d n
Speaker 1: C and I hope they realized, but it's just like
Speaker 1: the d n C is on fame fucking Ice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they do not realize it. A large voter, you a
Speaker 1: large amount of voters this time around, Like I feel
Speaker 1: like made it pretty clear that this is like the
Speaker 1: last vote they're casting for the d n C that
Speaker 1: is not explicitly like aligned with their interests. Like so yeah,
Speaker 1: they have to like together or they're gonna loose. I
Speaker 1: mean it's like it's just there's something's going to have
Speaker 1: to change. Somebody's gonna use economic populism. Uh, Like Biden
Speaker 1: is going to be leading, so he could actually run
Speaker 1: and use like take care of people and then run
Speaker 1: on economic populism and leave the sort of corporate bullshit
Speaker 1: to the Republicans, or you know, he can be the
Speaker 1: corporate stooge that people are afraid he's going to be,
Speaker 1: and then the Republicans will come in and you know,
Speaker 1: demolish him. Yeah. I mean, listen to these and if
Speaker 1: they just take a cue from these activists, you know,
Speaker 1: if there's certain outcomes that we need, you you're damn
Speaker 1: sure that organizers and things can get people together to
Speaker 1: uh pressure whoever is not going along with the program.
Speaker 1: And you know, like rather than being like, well, we
Speaker 1: would have loved to do an actual stimulus that would
Speaker 1: have helped people, but you know, Mitch McConnell's a fucking asshole,
Speaker 1: So here's fucking nothing because Mitch McConnell's an asshole. Rather
Speaker 1: be like, hey, we're trying to fucking do right by all,
Speaker 1: but this mother fuck over here, like and making it
Speaker 1: enough of an issue by saying, this is the person
Speaker 1: that is standing in the way. Now, there are many
Speaker 1: other ways we can do this. But rather than just
Speaker 1: being like, well, you know, getting already like self editing
Speaker 1: before you even put a bill together because you're already
Speaker 1: worried about what's going to happen in the Senate, that's
Speaker 1: where you get fucked up, and that's when you start
Speaker 1: losing people's believe because you're like, well, I don't want that.
Speaker 1: I'm looking for a fucking relief, not sucking. You know,
Speaker 1: a scratcher that that that's good fucking look of a
Speaker 1: backscratcher to every household I met, like lottery scratchers even worse.
Speaker 1: Some Yeah, it's like Battle Royale, Like people get their
Speaker 1: stimulus package, but like some people get like a check,
Speaker 1: other people get a lottery scratcher, backscratcher. Thanks so fucking
Speaker 1: fly swatters that wouldn't put anything cast. All right, that's
