1
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: Chris Custodis ipsis Christodi is welcome to it could happen

2
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,159
Speaker 1: here a podcast where the only person who actually took

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Latin high school isn't here leading me to do this

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: Latin bit. I'm your host Mia Wong, and with me

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: is Garrison. Hello. Hello.

6
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna try to speak Latin because if I did,

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: it'd be some like weird like esoteric incantation and then

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: it would open up a whole other canet worms.

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: So you know, this is this is this is the

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: most the most well known Latin. That's probably not the

11
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: most well known Latin is probably some bullshit from like

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: Latin mass or something. But one of the more well

13
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: known Latins, which is who watches the Watchman? Roughly, it's

14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: not a test. The popular translation is who watches the Watchmen?

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: And by that I mean we are asking the question

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: who ensures that the American Supreme Court does not just

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: sort of collapse into a ball of pure corruption, And

18
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: the answer was nobody.

19
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: So true, I always trust in the Supreme Court.

20
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great. I learned. I learned that we pay

21
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: these people two hundred and eighty five thousand dollars a year,

22
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: like we pay them two hundred eighty five thousand dollars

23
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: to like take our rights away. This is just insane. Well,

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: why why do we do this?

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: It's well, I mean, this is a very clear reason

26
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: why we do this. Actually that maintains the semblance of

27
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: order and civility. Yes, however, coma deeply fractured however.

28
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: Coma, this is coming apart because these stupid assholes can't

29
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: even maintain the veneer of not being like the most

30
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: corrupt people in the history of mankind. So we're coming

31
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: off of like two, I mean not there wasn't really

32
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: a potential for this this session of the court to

33
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: be as bad as like last year's one where they

34
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: killed row, but they killed affirmative action, and they also

35
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: did this really really just sort of.

36
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: Really weird ruling on queer stuff and the business's right

37
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: to discriminate and choose, the business's right to choose how

38
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: to use their creative expression, which has resulted in a

39
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: bunch of really funny things. I saw this morning. Actually,

40
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: there was this hair salon who was refer for to

41
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: serve LGBTQ clients, which now all of like all of

42
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: like the suppliers for the hair Sloan are no longer

43
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: sending orders to the hair salon because they're also allowed

44
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: to discriminate from this hair salod because of the same ruleing.

45
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: So it's creating all these really complicated like supply chain

46
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 2: things with businesses choosing to be really homophobic and queer

47
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 2: phobic and then like type of like a supplier is

48
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: just not then just not giving these businesses the supplies

49
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: they need to operate their business, which is pretty funny.

50
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: It's really amazing too. So the other thing about this

51
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: is like this is the actual ruling, where like any

52
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: pretense that this is like a functional court was just

53
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: sort of thrown out the window because Okay, so one

54
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: of the one of the like the fundamental principles of

55
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: and this is one of the fundamental principles of the

56
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: common law legal system, right of the legal system that

57
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: not only the US is based off of, but like

58
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: you know, I mean like like literally we're talking like

59
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: like hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years

60
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: of history that predate the American system arguably can traces

61
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: back to the Roman system. One of the things that's

62
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: fundamentally based on is that you cannot try a case

63
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: on a hypothetical. Something has to something has to actually

64
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: happen for you to have a case, and this case

65
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: has just thrown that shit out the window. So what

66
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: this case was is there's this woman who supposedly is

67
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: a wedding wedding website designer. And we'll get back to

68
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: that in a second, because oh boy, uh just straight

69
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: up lied to the court and claimed that a guy

70
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: had requested her make a wedding website for a gay wedding.

71
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: And this never happens, right, this like did not happen

72
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: the less like track down the guy who she said

73
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: had like requested a website, and that guy is a

74
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: straight b had already been married, and she is a

75
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: web designer.

76
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: The whole, the whole story is was just a fake.

77
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: I think. I think like that's that's that's the part

78
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: of the story that I think got the most pressed.

79
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: But the part of the story that thinks like funnier

80
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: is that she's not actually a wedding website designer. This

81
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: entire case, she set up this entire site. What appears

82
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: to have happened, She's not wedding website designer now, right,

83
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: what appears to have happened is that she and like

84
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: the sort of like one of the one of the

85
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: sort of like right wing like legal networks got together

86
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: and cobbled together this business like specifically so they could

87
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: get this ruling.

88
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: So which which which seems like that should be a

89
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 2: like illegal. It's this sounds illegal. It sounds like legal

90
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: fraudst on trial for perjury right now, her lawyers should

91
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: also be like her lawyers and her lied under oath

92
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: multiple times to multiple different courts. Like yes, that's what

93
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: we're seeing here, right is the sort of like thin

94
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: legal veneer that has always been sort of over the

95
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 2: Supreme Court that's supposed to make it seem legitimate.

96
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: It's just sort of like unraveling. And at the same time,

97
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: so if you if you, if you think that makes

98
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court like like look illegitimate. Wait do we

99
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: get to the corruption. This is the real reason we're

100
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: doing this episode because oh my God, Jesus Christ, this

101
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: is I oh God. And then you know, the thing

102
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: I really learned from this is I didn't understand how

103
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: rich Supreme Court justices are, like Clarence Thomas. And in

104
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: all of the pieces about Clarence Thomas, right, it starts

105
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: with like he is like the poorest Supreme Court justices

106
00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 1: and and his family makes eight hundred thousand dollars a Year's.

107
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: That seems like a lot of money.

108
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: What are you even talking about? Like, So, in terms

109
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: of the sort of corruption stuff that's been happening, there's

110
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: been a bunch of uh, there's a bunch of research

111
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: now by Republica into a bunch of just like incredibly

112
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: shady and corrupt things that a bunch of Supreme Court

113
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: justices are doing. So we're gonna start with Bastard's podlum,

114
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas. So, one of Thomas's close friends is this

115
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: real estate mogul named Harlan Crowe, and he Harlan Crowe

116
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: sucks ass. He and Harlan.

117
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: Crowe sounds like what you would name like some like

118
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 2: weird like rich villain in like a pulpy seventies like

119
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 2: mystery novel.

120
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: I don't did you see when what like when people

121
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: figured out who this guy was and it went around

122
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: on Twitter? No Oh, I'm so excited for you. Okay,

123
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: this this is gonna be great. So okay. So, so

124
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: Harlan Crowe is he's one of the country's largest land lords.

125
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: He has like a pro, he's a portfolio of twenty

126
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: nine billion dollars of assets. He he owns properties like

127
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: all over the US. He also, okay, so he has

128
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: a giant mansion, right, and in his giant mansion is

129
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of Nazi memorabilia, including an autographed copy of.

130
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: This this guy. Yes, okay, now that now that you

131
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: mentioned the Nazi now so.

132
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: So he has the things that like, stereotypically you would

133
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: assume that like a like a Nazi para familia guy has, right,

134
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: Like he has like he has that sign, an autogap

135
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: copy of my comp He has like a bunch of

136
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: pictures that were drawn by a bunch of like actual

137
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: paintings that were drawn by Hitler. But he also has

138
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: weird shit, like someth I've never seen before, Like he

139
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: has like this these sets of like napkins that just

140
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: have swastikas on them because they were like official Nazi napkins.

141
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: I feel like we probably shouldn't, like we can even

142
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: keep one copy of these, and like the Holocaust Museum

143
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: and the rest of this stuff should be like burned, right,

144
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: Like we shouldn't. Yeah, we shouldn't really have him to

145
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: this tough line around.

146
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: You know, like, Okay, so I'm gonna circle back to

147
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: this because I think there's one there's another piece of

148
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: context that we need to get you. He also has

149
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: this thing called this he has he is this thing

150
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: he calls the Garden of Evil, which is this like

151
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: garden of statues of the garden he calls evil, Yes,

152
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: And it's a it's a statue guarded behind his house

153
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: that has like a bunch of like statues of dictators.

154
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: They're like almost all communists. He really hates Tito for

155
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: some reason. I don't know why. Well, I mean, she's

156
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: a billionaire, obviously, Like this is why he hates Tito.

157
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,880

Speaker 1: like multiple of Hitler's paintings hanging on your wall and

202
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: also the signed autograph copy.

203
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,400

Speaker 1: home from the war and it should be like and

209
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: we like still have it, because what the are you

210
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,360

211
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: like we we have one of those, right, But like

212
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: we didn't take an autograph copy of my cough. We

213
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: fucking killed a Nazi officer and took it from him. Like,

214
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: if we're gonna do this, you have to do it correctly.

215
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

216
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: But this guy, this guy, okay, oh aso, she gets

217
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: really really he's like unfathomably mad that people wear shake

218
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: of our shirts.

219
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 2: Like she's I mean, me too, mad, me too take

220
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: of our shirt? I'm usually not.

221
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: I'm most almost circling back around on it, just because

222
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: it makes this guy so mad. Like this guy in

223
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: particular spears to be worse.

224
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: Most of the take of our shirts I've seen are

225
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 2: sold by disgraced white disgraced right wing commentator Stephen Crowder.

226
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: So oh god, what then we we we We've we've

227
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: truly entered hell world now, Okay, so why why why

228
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: am I talking about Harlan crow partially because he's really funny?

229
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: Doesn't it doesn't like give a lot of money to

230
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 2: like certain people.

231
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: So okay, we're we're yeah. So she he's one of

232
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: the people who runs a really really extensive network of

233
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: sort of like it's like right wing like think tank

234
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: dark money network that you know, buys judges, like pays

235
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: for people legal careers. And he's also very close friends

236
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: with Clarence Thomas. And so I'm gonna just run through

237
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: all of the ship that he's like all these just

238
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: like incredible corruption that he's doing. So okay, so I'm

239
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: gonna start with like this is like this is like

240
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: like the level one corruption, which is so Crow bought

241
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas's mom's house and then did quote tens of

242
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars of improvements to the home and he

243
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: seems to have bought the house for like significantly above

244
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: market rate. And so this is this is a this

245
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: is I'm gonna I'm gonna be We're gonna do it.

246
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: We're gonna do a corruption anatomy here because this is

247
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: a classic Chicago, uh corruption scam. Sore. There's like there's

248
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: like six revenue streams in this. Right, you have the

249
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: money from the sale which goes to like you know

250
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: that that that that's that's like, that's your level one bribe, right,

251
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: is you're selling you're selling, you know, you're you're selling

252
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: your ho to someone at above market value. The level

253
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: two bribe is, uh, you're not. You're now throwing in

254
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: the renovations because his mom is still living in this house. Right.

255
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: Oh so this is like it's like actual bribery.

256
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: Huh oh yeah, yeah this is And again this is

257
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: like the mild stuff. So that that level level two

258
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: is you get that, you know, Okay, so now now

259
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: you have the contractors, and the contractors allow you to

260
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: throw in more money into the bribe because you're now

261
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: you're now doing all this renovation work like for free.

262
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: The level three of the bribes is that Okay, so

263
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: now now once you once you have a renovation contract,

264
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: you now have a contract that pays out money and

265
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: you can use that to like reward your political allies.

266
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: And so this is this is this is a classic

267
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: like absolutely classic like Chicago, uh like payoff scheme. Now.

268
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: The other thing that's so so Harlan was contacted about

269
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: this and she claims that he's buying this house because

270
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: he wants to preserve it for plus austerity because Clarence

271
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: Thomas lived there, sure, which like she is very weird.

272
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: She did give one hundred thousand dollars to Harvard to

273
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: buy a portrait of like to get them to hang

274
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: up a portrait of Clarence Thomas, so you know, he

275
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: is a deeply weird guy. But this, uh, this reeks

276
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: of eye of oh boy, now, yes, yes, well Republica,

277
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: like pro Publica points out also that they they bought

278
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: two random vacant lots in the area from Thomas for

279
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: like unclear reasons, and you know, you can also you

280
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: can also ask why does the Supreme Court justice like

281
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: own a bunch of random vacant lots? And the answer

282
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: to this question is that these people are part of

283
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: the real boorgeois. They are like they they they are

284
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: like as alien to us US state scamming, right, this

285
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: is like yeah, like basically yeah, like they're they're they're

286
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: they're they're doing stuff, like they do stuff with their

287
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: money that like makes them like like they they are

288
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: like as dissimilar to us as like we are from

289
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: like a fucking Neanderthal. Like these people like the way

290
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: they think about money, the way they like just like

291
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: the way they act in the world, the way they

292
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: relate to other people, like the fact that they're just

293
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: buying random fucking lots, like across the street from their parents' house,

294
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: Like why who knows?

295
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 2: Ugh?

296
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: And Okay, So the thing that's very important about this

297
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: right is if you you know, okay, everyone in the

298
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: government right from like starting from every court that is

299
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: below the Supreme Court down to like a fucking astronomer

300
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: who works for a national lab. If you receive a

301
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: like a large gift over five hundred dollars, you have

302
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: to report it to the government, and there's like an

303
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: ethics process you have to go through. And this the standard.

304
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: And again, this is the standard that holds from like

305
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: like the fucking president of the United States down to

306
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: again like a random astronomer. They are not allowed to

307
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: have to do anything that has quote even the appearance

308
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: of impropriety. Now do you want to do you want

309
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: to know who? These standards don't apply to just the

310
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: Supreme Course, yep, does not apply to them. They had

311
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: there's only one thing they have to do right and

312
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: aga again this amazing, Like so again everyone else has

313
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: actual enforceable ethics standards. The Supreme Court has you have

314
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 1: to report it. It doesn't have to go to an

315
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: excess commission. You just have to report it. And yeah,

316
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: do you do you? I'll give you three guesses as

317
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: to how much of any of the ship that I

318
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: just talked about that Clarence Thomas reported.

319
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: Probably none of it?

320
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: Nope, absolutely not zero, zero of it, like you over

321
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand, like probably like one hundred and fifty

322
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: thousand dollars of bullshit, no reporting at all.

323
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 2: I'm sure the cops are gonna go arrest him for

324
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 2: all these crimes, right yeah, yeah, right at any day now.

325
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 2: Uh yeh yeah, it's gonna be bust down his door

326
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 2: now that we've cracked this one wide open.

327
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: A okay, do you do you know who else is?

328
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: And I am not joking legitimately is bound by significantly

329
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: stricter i I ethic ethics regulations than the Supreme Court.

330
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: It's the end.

331
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: Plugging these products and services.

332
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: I se see advertising guidelines that we have to follow.

333
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: I am a podcaster every few months and guidelines of

334
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: the Supreme every few months.

335
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 2: We have to take like a like a ten minute

336
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 2: training that just basically just plugs into our brains and

337
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 2: uh it downloads all of these like terms and conditions

338
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: that we then just robotically need to enforce. So yeah,

339
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 2: do you know who else commits fraud.

340
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: Were legally ed say that.

341
00:18:46,520 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 2: These products and services? Oop's okay, Well I'm gonna have

342
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 2: to do another one of those FCC trainings after this one. Well, well,

343
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 2: here's here's the thing.

344
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: Crime, crime is just legal now like this, this is

345
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: what I'm getting out of this free court stuff. So

346
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: all right, I started with this housing scam because A

347
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, this is this is like, this is

348
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: like a classic level scam. Bbe this is because this

349
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: is like absolute brush league shit compared to like everything

350
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: else that's about to happen.

351
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 2: Here are you telling me?

352
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: This is?

353
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 2: This is this is gonna get worse.

354
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: Oh okay, So all right, I'm just gonna I'm just

355
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: gonna start reading this from pro publica because I don't

356
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: I cannot think of a funnier way to just do this.

357
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: In late June twenty nineteen, right after the US Supreme

358
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: Court released its final opinion of the term, Justice Clarence

359
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: Thomas born in a large private jet headed to Indonesia.

360
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: He and his wife were going on a vacation nine

361
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: days of island hopping in a volcanic archipelago on a

362
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: super yacht staff by a coterie of attendance and a

363
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: private chef. If Thomas had chartered the plane in the

364
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty two foot yachts himself, the total

365
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: cost of the trip could have exceeded five hundred thousand dollars.

366
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: Fortunately for him, that wasn't necessary. He was on vacation

367
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: with real estate mogul and Republican mega donor Harlan Clohe

368
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: who owned the jet and the yacht too.

369
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 2: Ah. I see this just sounds like a friendly vacation, right,

370
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 2: I need to read another another like really just genuinely

371
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 2: from one of the most brutal.

372
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 1: Polls I've ever seen anyone do is later on this

373
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: republic article quote. In Thomas's public appearances over the years,

374
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: he has presented himself as an everyman with modest tastes.

375
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with going to Europe, but

376
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: I prefer the United States, and I prefer seeing the

377
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: regular parts of the United States, Thomas said in a

378
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: recent interview for a documentary about his life, which Crow

379
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: helped finance. I prefer the RV parks prefer the Walmart

380
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: parking lots to the beaches and things like that. There's

381
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: something normal about it, doubt, doubt.

382
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: You know, I don't think he's gonna be getting a

383
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: chartered to oats all the Walmart parking lots. Honestly, I

384
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 2: don't really see that one happening.

385
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: Five hundred thousand dollars. And the thing about this, it

386
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: seems like he does something like this every fucking year.

387
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 2: That nice doesn't like because I wish I could take

388
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 2: I wish I could take a Supreme Court justice out

389
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 2: to the open waters of the sea about once a year.

390
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 2: You know, wouldn't that be fun for everybody involved?

391
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, here's the thing. We're gonna have to

392
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: pull our money into rent the submarine.

393
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: That's true, that's true.

394
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: But we look, we will persevere, we will achieve submarine.

395
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: There's no laws on the ocean international waters. Baby is

396
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: legal as as as as are regrettably off doing actual journalism.

397
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: Colleague James constantly reminds us it is legal for him

398
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: to fight the seal international waters.

399
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 2: Just as legal as me disparaging all of our advertisers.

400
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: So all right, you know, okay, So like obviously what

401
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: is happening, Like Harlan Crowe, like this is a level

402
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: of like bribery where it's like the wheels kind of

403
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: fall off of the word bribery because like, how do

404
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: you even I don't know, I don't even I don't

405
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: have a way to adequately describe what this is. What

406
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to do instead is to remind everyone that

407
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: Thomas was one of the justices who decided Citizens United,

408
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: the twenty ten case that made it legal to bribe

409
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: politicians through campaign donations and allowed corporations to directly involve

410
00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: themselves in legal campaigns, leading like directly to the hell

411
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: hole we now I'll live in. Now once again, Thomas

412
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: was required to report this as a gift to the government,

413
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: and he simply did not. And you know, this is

414
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: one of those things where okay, so like if a

415
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: normal person does this right in in the government, you

416
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: would take them to court. But we've now returned to

417
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: our problem of who watches the watchers because it's Supreme

418
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: Court right, they've established themselves as a dictatorial ruling council

419
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: based on a power grab, and you know, I'm gonna

420
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do my the Supreme Court rant I do

421
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: every time. But the Supreme Court does not have the

422
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: power of judicial review. They do not have the power

423
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: to strike down laws. They don't have it. They fucking

424
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: get invented it out of whole cloth in eighteen o two.

425
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: It doesn't exist, it's not real, it's never been real.

426
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: You can just fucking ignore them. But in the meantime,

427
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: while everyone believes it's real, they get to do this bullshit.

428
00:23:55,320 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: And you know, so, yeah, so that that Indonesia trip

429
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: is like the big one that we know of. He

430
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: took another one to like Moscow and another. But the

431
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: other thing that that see, he seems to have been

432
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: doing a lot is basically like he like just uses

433
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: Harlan Crowe's private jet as like his own jet. Republica

434
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: calculated that like one, just like one flight that he

435
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: took in twenty sixteen would have cost seventy thousand dollars,

436
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 1: which is more than I make in a fucking year.

437
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, why why why did that cost so much?

438
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: It's really expensive to to lease those kind of like

439
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: that specific kind of private jet.

440
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, if it's for a whole private jet,

441
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 2: that makes sense, Yeah, I say, slightly, wouldn't lease a

442
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 2: whole private jet, but I'm just built different.

443
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: Well, Claras Thomas has built even more different because instead

444
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: of leasing it, he just has a friend who has

445
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 1: the jet who just lets him take this Like like

446
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: one of the Republican was doings. They were just tracking

447
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: the jet and they they could match the jet showing

448
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: up to the airport where Clarence Thomas was gonna be

449
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 1: and then and the jet would mysteriously then appear in

450
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: a location where Clarence Thomas appeared, and it was like hmm,

451
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: and and this onother thing we should specifically know. So Okay,

452
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: the the reason the Supreme Court has to do any

453
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: of this at all is that the stream is that

454
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: like someone finally had a good idea right after Watergate

455
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: that was, like we should actually make everyone in the

456
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: government disclose their gifts and this and this law actually

457
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: like included the stream Court, although I feel like it

458
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: won't in like two years when they strike that law

459
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: down or some shit. But you know, but again, like

460
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: one of the things fit like specifically in this law

461
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: is if you take a private jet, you have to

462
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: report it. And Thomas has been just like jetting around

463
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: in this fucking jet for like a like many like

464
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: at least like at least seven years that we know of,

465
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: and has never reported it. So let's sure.

466
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 2: I'm sure the FBI is going to be busting down

467
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 2: his doors any day now.

468
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and again like let let less you less

469
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: you think we've reached the end of the Claire's Thomas corruption.

470
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: Crow also like, okay, so you know how Claire's Thomas's

471
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: wife is like a qan on person yeh, tried to

473
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 1: has like a like a it's like a basically bullshit

474
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: like political lobbying group. But it's like so it's a

475
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: lobbying group, but like the actual thing that it does

476
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: is reverse lobbying, which is you can go to the

477
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: lobbying group and use it for like to get access

478
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: to Clarence Thomas. And that group funded God, I didn't

479
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: write down the number of mount but like that group

480
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: got like two hundred thousand dollars that again his wife

481
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: works for, got like two hundred thousand dollars from Crow.

482
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: There was another story.

483
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,959
Speaker 2: That which which just now, I no lawyer, these are

484
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 2: not actual, these these are these claims have no basis.

485
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: This is just an uneducated opinion. But to me, if

486
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 2: I saw this in a movie, I would call this

487
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 2: money laundering.

488
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like oh god, okay, so Lily, just let

489
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: me just go to the next one, because there's fucking more.

490
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: There's more, Like so all right. Clarence Thomas has like

491
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: a grandnephew that he like adopted as his son. Basically,

492
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: like he like went to the family of this kid.

493
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: It was like, I can give this kid everything in

494
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: the world, so you should like give him to me.

495
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 2: I'm sure this is all above board.

496
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: I I don't know.

497
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 2: This is uh what about this man has proved to

498
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 2: you that he's untrustworthy? What do you mean?

499
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: Okay?

500
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 2: To me?

501
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: Fair Clarence Thomas makes the argument that like he did

502
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: this because like he was abandoned by his father as

503
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: a kid and was raised by his grandfather, and so

504
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: he was like, Okay, I'm gonna raise this kid like

505
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna steal the better life. His parents need to

506
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: have a gride to I don't know, I you you

507
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: you can you can read into that the level of

508
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: sketchiness that you want to The part that I'm gonna

509
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 1: I want to talk about is that this kid. Okay,

510
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: So a thing, a thing that I didn't understand until

511
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: I got to like college, is that like okay, So

512
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: like I knew intellectually that private schools existed, I did

513
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: not understand that private schools there are like like there's

514
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: like because I was used to like like Christian private schools, right, yeah, yeah,

515
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: I did not, like I didn't like get how rich

516
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: people could be, and I didn't understand that that they were.

517
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: Like I like walk in there and there's like nine

518
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: kids who all speak Latin, and every single one of

519
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: them went to a private school that was like fifty

520
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: at least fifty like somewhere between fifteen one hundred thousand

521
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: dollars a quarter. Yeah, it is like what the fuck?

522
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: What the ship? So claras Thomas isn't so his the

523
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: schools he's going to aren't quite that expensive, but the kid,

524
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:16,719
Speaker 1: the ones he sends this this kid to, So for

525
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: two years, the estimate is that it was one hundred

526
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars per year. That was for two years,

527
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: So seventy five dollars a year, which again more than

528
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: I make it a year.

529
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 2: That's reasonable, that's fine, that's fine.

530
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: That is more that is more than like that that

531
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: is more expensive than my fucking college. That is more expensive,

532
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: Like I I like that.

533
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 2: It is it is a ludicrous amount money. And guess

534
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 2: who paid that. I'm guessing Harlan Kruw just why, I

535
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 2: don't know. It's gonna just gonna pick it, just gonna

536
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 2: pack like a random name off the top of my head,

537
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: this Hitler's number one fan, harding crowded. It's so amazing

538
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 2: because like again, all of these people have this. Like

539
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 2: every single like conservative like every conservative journalist, like every

540
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 2: conservative judge and every conservative politician, are they all have

541
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 2: one of these guys?

542
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's this guy. This is the guy and

543
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: so and every so like everything.

544
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 2: Like the Koch Brothers fund a whole bunch of like

545
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 2: content creators. But every almost every big like right wing

546
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: dude has one of these guys, which is totally unfair

547
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 2: because the entire left has to share one of these guys.

548
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 2: We only get one, and he has to fund everything

549
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 2: on the left. Meanwhile, the right has like has like

550
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 2: a dime a dozen of these you know, like.

551
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: Like legitimately, like like this was actually legitimately the thing

552
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: that caused Soros to get into politics. You looked at

553
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: us and he was like, what the fuck is going on?

554
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: Like this is insane? Like why what what do you mean?

555
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: Like the American enterprise that you just like creates Supreme

556
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: Court justice like what? And you know, but like so,

557
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: But the funniest part about this is, again, whenever any

558
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: of these pieces come out, like every single conservative like

559
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: pundits like in Unison and like like all of their

560
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: fucking newspapers, all of their magazines, they're all funded by

561
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: these people, so they all like publish like identical things

562
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: going like how dare you criticize like the noble friendship

563
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: of hard of this billionaire and the Supreme Court justice

564
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: or just pals. They're just extending hospitality like you would

565
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: to any other friend by taking them on a half

566
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: a million dollar cruise around on your yacht. It's it's

567
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: it's it's like incredible stuff. All right, we should do

568
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: we should, we should we should do one more ads

569
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: because you know who's so these are advertisements that we

570
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: are being paid to promote.

571
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 2: These are not our personal opinions, these are these are

572
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 2: as there. I followed the SEC guidelines. Here's the fucking ads,

573
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 2: and we're back totally totally not gonna get in trouble

574
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 2: for that one.

575
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: Let let lest you think, and I kind of emphasize

576
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: this enough. This is something that was like when these

577
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: stories first started coming out, the way it was framed

578
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: was like, like, Clarence Thomas is like a uniquely corrupt

579
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,959
Speaker 1: Supreme Court justice. And then people did literally any digging,

580
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: and it turns out that Clarence Thomas is not a

581
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: uniquely corrupt Supreme Court like all of the like Supreme

582
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: Court legal justice like experts were like, this is like

583
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: a unique situation the history of the court. And then

584
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: like like literally two months later, so Samuel Alito, who

585
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: is a Supreme Court justice I in and this is in.

586
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: This is two thousand and seven, appears on a a

587
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand dollar fishing trip in Alaska with billionaire

588
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: hedge fund manager Paul Singer, who is Singer is like

589
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: one of the most like Okay, as much as I

590
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: don't like Harlan curowe like Singer is like one of

591
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: the most evil people who's ever lived. Do you know

592
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: who Singer is?

593
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 2: No, but I'm sure this opinion is is Singers same

594
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: opinion as all of our advertisers.

595
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: Probably our advertisers probably don't like him. It would not

596
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: surprise me. So Singer is just like incredibly unbelievably relentlessly

597
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: aggressive like hedge fund guy, and his thing is he

598
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: like goes into companies and like like makes really embarrassing

599
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: like slideshows about their CEOs and then like deposes them

600
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: and then takes them over and the trip's on for

601
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: assets and sells them all. So that's like the one

602
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: that's like one thing that he does. The other thing

603
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: that he's cool, Well yeah, I mean it sucks because

604
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: like every single person who would work they lose their drop.

605
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: But this is that's the less bad thing that he does,

606
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: right Like like this this is what I'm talking like,

607
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: this is like legitimately one of the worst people in

608
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: the world. Like for like any like Mitt Romney, right

609
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: like that was the worst shit that he ever did.

610
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: Was was like just destroying a bunch of people's lives

611
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: by like annihilating these companies. For Singer, that's that's like

612
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: the fuck, that's the bullshit stuff like that, that's like

613
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: that's the fucking brush league shit. Singer's actual game is

614
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: so one of the things that happens over the course

615
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: of the seventies and eighties is you get a bunch

616
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: of uh I've talked about this at length of many

617
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: liberalist and episodes, but you get a bunch of these

618
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: economies that basically like across the Global South, that just implode.

619
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 1: And they implode because there's this combination of like commodity

620
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: prices drop, and then they have all these adjustable rate

621
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: like loans that they're taken out, and when Paul Volker

622
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: hot like hikes interest rates, all of these like loans

623
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: suddenly have like twenty percent interest. And so you have

624
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: all these economies all over the world that just fucking

625
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: are imploding because they suddenly have this like unbelievable that

626
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: they can't pay off. And so over the course of

627
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: the nineties, this kind of like like anti IMF revolts starts,

628
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: and I have the International Monetary Fund are the people

629
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 1: who you're borrowing money from who also destroy your economy

630
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: to like you know, like pay the IMF back the money.

631
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,959
Speaker 1: By the time you get into like the two thousands,

632
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: it's gotten less bad. Well, I guess bad again, tails Nate.

633
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: But there had been this process of debt restructuring where

634
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: these countries were allowed to like only pay like a

635
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: small percentage of the debt because they just literally couldn't

636
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: pay it because their economies have been destroyed. Or and

637
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: this is another very common thing. You get a country

638
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: where like a bunch of loans were taken out by

639
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 1: like a dictator and he would just like buy plans

640
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: with them and then he get deposed. But you know,

641
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: the IMF and like the World Bank was still hold

642
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: them liable for the loans, and it's like, well, okay,

643
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: like that's like the money's gone right, Like it's in

644
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: like a bunch of gold bars. This guy like drove

645
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: across the border when he like fled Singer. Singer is

646
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: like the last guy who league goes in for like

647
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: to buy this debt and the result is this, So

648
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: for example, like he buys a bunch of the debt

649
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the result

650
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: of this is that he turns like the entire Congoese

651
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: economy into this debt servicing machine. We're like just like

652
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: every like there's they're like they're they're there's they're stripping

653
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: the copper wires out of the buildings in order to

654
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: like fucking pay for or metaphorically. So metaphorically they are

655
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: stripping the copper wires to pay this debt off. Uh,

656
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: not metaphorically, they are taking food from the mouths of babies,

657
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: because the way this stuff is paid for is they

658
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: cut a bunch of government assistance programs and they're like,

659
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: you know, they don't build fucking hospitals, they don't staff hospitals,

660
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: and so like a lot, like he has killed a

661
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: lot of people, and his his most famous version of

662
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: this was this battle that he waged against Argentina. So

663
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 1: in two thousand and one, there is this massive like

664
00:36:55,239 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: basically like the the last twentieth century, like the last

665
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: twentieth century, communist revolution happens in Argentina in two thousand

666
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: and one, and they lose, but it's they they lose

667
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: like pretty it like only pretty narrowly doesn't work, Like

668
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: there is a there is a timeline that is not

669
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: that different from this one where like like a bunch

670
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: of anarchists basically have taking control of Argentina, and the

671
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: result of this is that Argentina defaults on its debt.

672
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: And you know, they default in this debt, so they

673
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: enter this restructuring program and all of the rest of

674
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: the like people who are like holding this debt are like, okay, well,

675
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: in order to let the Argentina economy recover and get

676
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 1: like some of this money back, we'll just like let like, okay, well,

677
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: we'll like write off most of our debt. But Singer

678
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: like looks at this and is like, oh shit, I'm

679
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: just gonna buy all this debt that I know is

680
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: junk and can't be repaid, and then I'm gonna go

681
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 1: to the courts in the US and like just force

682
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: Argentina to repay it. Now, this is not how debt

683
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: is supposed to work. Right. Thing about debt, right, and

684
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: think about like lending someone money or you know, this

685
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 1: is what essentially what buying someone's debt is. Right. The

686
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: thing about that, right is if the person can't pay

687
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: you back you're supposed to, you're out of the money,

688
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: right like that That's that's that's you know, this is

689
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: this is the theoretical economic justification for why you can

690
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:21,919
Speaker 1: charge interest because there's risk. But what Singer figured out

691
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,760
Speaker 1: is that you could just use the US court system

692
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: and you know the threat of the the the implicit

693
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: and explicit threat of the US military to just like

694
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: force people to pay you whether they have money or not.

695
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: And so and this is what so, this is what

696
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: he does. He's he's like the one he's the one

697
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: creditor because he buys like an enormous amount of this

698
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: debt and he's the one creditor who refuses to negotiate.

699
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: And so he like starts running around the US trying

700
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,919
Speaker 1: to like steal Argentinian assets, Like he tries to have

701
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: like Argentina's Central bank reserves seized. There's other like the

702
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: most famous incidence, he tries to steal an Argentinian worship

703
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: in order to pay down the debt. There's another one

704
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 1: where like he tries to like he tries to steal

705
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: Argentina's entire pension fund. And this causes this like series

706
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 1: of of like lawsuits that sort of like run their

707
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: way through the courts. And in twenty fourteen, one of

708
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 1: these cases finally makes it to this reviewing court. And

709
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,240
Speaker 1: this is where Singer's two hundred thousand dollars Alaskan fishing

710
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: trip pays off because Samuel Alito rules that Argentina has

711
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: to play Singer two point four billion dollars, and eventually

712
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: they do so Alito like like he's also he also

713
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: has another guy who just like pays for his vacations,

714
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: who's the uh I don't know if I want to

715
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: say incredibly named or disturbingly named, but this guy's name

716
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: is Robin Arkley, the second Wait, Robin Robin Arkley the

717
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: second second God Okay, Yeah, and he's a also like

718
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: a genuinely terror person, like these are these are all

719
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: like you read Hitchhickers. Have you read Hitchhiker's Guide to

720
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: the Galaxy?

721
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 2: No?

722
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So my favorite bit from that is there's a

723
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: bit where like the encyclopedia from the Foundation series, like

724
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 1: from the Future, like falls down and it falls open

725
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: onto a page and someone had just made a joke

726
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 1: about how these people are gonna be the first against

727
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: the wall when the revolution comes. And the Encyclopedia for

728
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: the Future drops down and they open it and it

729
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: says that these two people were first against the wall

730
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: when the revolution came. And that's like all of these people,

731
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 1: these are like the worst people in the fucking world

732
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: or like in the US. So this guy Arcley makes

733
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: his fortune like buying distressed mortgages and then for closing

734
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: on people's houses and flipping them, so he.

735
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: Is seems like a valuable contributor to the detail, like

736
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 2: I you.

737
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: Know, I mean this is like this is literally like

738
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: literally one of the old like crime think jokes was

739
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: when the bank seizes your house, the GDP GDP goes up.

740
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: Like that's literally this guy, this, this is the guy

741
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: who makes the GDP go up by seizing it, by

742
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: stealing your house. And so this guy takes Alito on

743
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: a bunch of trips. So when when Republica like reaches

744
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: out to Aledo about this, he gets so mad that

745
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: she the Wall Street Journal editorial board allows him to

746
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: publish a like an op ed that is just him

747
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 1: yelling about how this article that hasn't come out yet

748
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: is fake. And one of the specific things that he's

749
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: really mad about is part of this article is talking

750
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: about how the wine at this met at this like

751
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: lodge that he's staying at that's being paid for by

752
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: by the fucking mortgage slipper guy has a thousand dollars

753
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: a bottle wine, and Clarience Tyer was just like, no,

754
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: the wine is not was not a thousand dollars a bottle.

755
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: You can check the website, and then Republica was like, well, yeah,

756
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: but that's because the lodge, like the quality of the

757
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: lodge was downgrade after Alito had like one of the

758
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: like just just just a truly incredible meltdown that he

759
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: was just allowed to have in the op ed section

760
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: of the Wall Street Journal in like in response, not

761
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: even in response, like before this article came out. And

762
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: the other thing that we learned from this is that

763
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: also apparently former Justice Antonin Scalia also was taking trips

764
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: from this guy. So this is just like every conservative

765
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: like justice in the last like twenty years has just

766
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 1: been doing this. They've just been getting like flown around

767
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: the world on fancy vacations by their billionaire friends. Well,

768
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't actually know if I actually might merely be

769
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: a millionaire. I'm not toither sure, but he may might

770
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: be a billionaire. I don't know.

771
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 2: The other two definitely are wait millionaire a billionaire because

772
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 2: those are two very difficult Okay, I I.

773
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 1: Han let me let me, let me, let me google.

774
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 1: Is this is this guy a billionaire? Yeah, Arkley doesn't

775
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: seem to be a billionaire. He'd seems to merely be Well, no,

776
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: I've seen other places that he is a billionaire. I

777
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: don't know. There's some dispute at the guy there's like

778
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: dispute over what's his net worth? Oh, we don't know,

779
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: it's unclear. What does there's there's dispute over.

780
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,720
Speaker 2: It dispute disputed net.

781
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: Worth, yeah, unclear. The other two guys definitely billionaires. This

782
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: guy maybe a billionaire unclear. But like, literally like all

783
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: of these literally all these jestices have just been like

784
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: taking just like and again, any other thing I forgot

785
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: to mention that I should have mentioned is that like

786
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: all of these people have had cases appear before the

787
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: Streme Court, hmm, curiously. And then this is another amazing thing.

788
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: This is the thing that came up like really prominently

789
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: when there was a case that you know, there was

790
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: a case about the attempt to like overthrow the government

791
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty or in twenty one that like well

792
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one that Thomas like

793
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: objectively should have recused himself from because his wife tried

794
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: to overthrow the government and he's didn't. And this and

795
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: this is a this is a really important thing, which

796
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: is that Supreme Court justices it's like your fucking daughter

797
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: like could be one of the plaintiffs in a case,

798
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: and you don't have to recuse yourself. Is recusing yourself

799
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 1: is completely voluntary, m which is not how this works

800
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: for fucking anything else. Right, But again, the Supreme Court

801
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: is not like it's not actually a court. It's just

802
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: like a fucking it's just this like weird dictatorial tribunal

803
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: that is subject to like absolutely no authority whatsoever. And Okay,

804
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: So it also turns out that there's like there's like

805
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: yet another layer of fuckery with this, which is that

806
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 1: universities use Supreme Court used Supreme Court justices to solicit

807
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: donations by like so, so they'll they'll have like a

808
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: don invite a justice to like give a talk at

809
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: the university, and they'll pay them a bunch of money,

810
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: and then they'll they'll have them like go to a dinner,

811
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:56,879
Speaker 1: and then they'll advertise to all their donors like, hey,

812
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: if you give us a bunch of money, you can

813
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: go to this dinner with Supreme Court justice. And so

814
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 1: a bunch of like like a bunch of people who

815
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 1: have cases in front of the Supreme Court like use

816
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:06,439
Speaker 1: this to go get access to a bunch of Streme

817
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: Court justices. So it's great. Uh, this is this is

818
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: really fun. Uh Oh did I did I do the

819
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: Venmo thing? No, it's not the Venmo thing. Okay, okay,

820
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: here's the Veno thing. So two days after I started,

821
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: like like two days ago, like from the time of writing,

822
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: this will be like like this will actually be like

823
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: almost exactly. Wow, It'll be like almost a week from

824
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: when when this comes out. Uh. There was another thing

825
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: of this that came out, which is that a bunch

826
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: of lawyers had just been sending money on Venmo to

827
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: one of Claren's Thomas's aids. And these okay, like the

828
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: the these these are like these are not just people

829
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 1: who have like active cases. These are like like one

830
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: of the guys who venmoed h Thomas's aid is the

831
00:45:56,120 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 1: guy who won the affirmative action case. And another one

832
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: of the one of the other lawyers who ven met

833
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: him is the guy who I don't know if you

834
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 1: remember this, like like in like the last like term

835
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 1: of the court, there was a case where the Supreme

836
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: Court like fucked the EPA's ability to regulate greenhouse gases,

837
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: so that lawyer also paid a bunch of money on Venmo.

838
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas's aid. So this is this is the level

839
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: though of corruption that we're working at, right, which is

840
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: like people sending public Venmo transactions to the aids of

841
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 1: Supreme Court justices who's about who are about to hear

842
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: their cases. Uh, that's so good. Now. The reason this

843
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 1: is happening that the right has built like just an

844
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: extensive and incredibly extensive network to seize control of the judiciary. Uh.

845
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: Liberals have produced no such network because they're fucking hacks

846
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: and this and this is not it's not just the

847
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: sort of like there's only one like liberal billionaire, Like, no,

848
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: there are liberal billionaires. The actual a real problem with

849
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: a liberal attempt to like take control of the judiciary

850
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: is that like liberal like liberal lawyers are hacks instead

851
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: of actually like trying to hold on to like judicial positions, right,

852
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: and you know, to have to like move their way

853
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: up through like circuit courts in order to like like

854
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:20,320
Speaker 1: seize control of like large, like increasingly large portions of

855
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: of the court system, which is the Republicans did. Uh,

856
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: the Democratic lawyers, they'll they'll get like like they they

857
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: do the even lazier corruption, which is like they'll just

858
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: they'll be a judge for like three years, and then

859
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: they'll just leave the private practice because they're all just

860
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: fucking greedy shits. And you know, the result of this

861
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: is that all these like fucking liberal lawyers, uh, you know,

862
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 1: they go into private practice and make a quick buck

863
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 1: and they leave us to fucking burn a death in

864
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: the smolder and keep while they spend their vacations in

865
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: Bali and you know, and and again. So the only

866
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: the only thing that like could conceivably slow down the

867
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: Supreme Court is the fact that like, technically speaking, although

868
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: it's never actually gone through, it is possible for like

869
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:05,240
Speaker 1: Congress to impeach Supreme Court justice. But the Democrats don't

870
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 1: want to do that because.

871
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 2: Because then the right we'll be able to impeach all

872
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 2: of the liberals Court justice.

873
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: No, it's worse than that. There the actual Biden's actual

874
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: state of reason for why he didn't want to do

875
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 1: it is because it would undermine the legitimacy of the court.

876
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: And you know, and the result of this is that,

877
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: like for all their they're fucking screaming about lawlessness and

878
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: rising crime rates, the fucking biggest criminals in the entire

879
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: goddamn country are just literally sitting in their stupid ass

880
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: robes taking the biggest bribes in the history of the

881
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: fucking Republic. And the Democrats are just like, well, if

882
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: we do anything, it'll undermine the faith in our institutions.

883
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: So I gad fuck them. But also like, we don't

884
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 1: fucking need these people like you could, Like you could,

885
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: you can fit all of these people in one submarine

886
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 1: and we could just be fucking dumb with it.

887
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:56,760
Speaker 2: And then we get a whole bunch of new Supreme

888
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 2: Court justices picked by Joe Biden, and they would save America.

889
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 2: So that's why we need to vote for Joe Biden

890
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,919
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. Save America. Yeah, yeah, this is thanks

891
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 2: for the submarine. This is the submarine plot. It'll go great.

892
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 2: We have to mandated submarine vacations for all Supreme courtousice.

893
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: The submarine is now the only vehicle you're allowed to

894
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:22,919
Speaker 1: travel on Supreme cour Justice.

895
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 2: Taxpayer funded Titanic explorations for all Supreme Court justices.

896
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 1: We're already giving them two hundred and eighty five thousand

897
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: dollars a year. It's not actually that it wouldn't We

898
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 1: would save money if we just both salary. I put

899
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: my position on this is clear. This is this is

900
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: a this is a fiscally conservative position.

901
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 2: Most of my budget can be interpreted as fiscally conservative.

902
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 2: It's cheaper to put all the people at houses than

903
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 2: do what we're doing now. Anyway, Well, glad we could

904
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 2: learn about how the Supreme Court is good and just well,

905
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 2: you know.

906
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: The second thing you can learn is if you some

907
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 1: if you one day somehow are like a semi minor

908
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 1: Chicago politician, you now know how. You now know how

909
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: to launder money.

910
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,160
