But yeah, what 50 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: a weird even thought, like, what will Halloween look like? Me? 51 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: Like every day some form of Halloween? So so strange. 52 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: But first, Mariah, we like to ask our guests, what 53 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: is something from your search history that's revealing about who 54 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: you are? Yeah? So I think my I looked at 55 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: my most recent search query and I was looking at 56 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: the Georgia Institute of Transitional Justice because I was doing 57 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: a live stream yesterday with the Senate candidate um here 58 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: in Georgia who was running on a platform of single 59 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: payer legal care for all, and so as a part 60 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: of our discussion of criminal legal reform. I wanted to 61 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: look up some data on racial disparities and sentencing in Athens, 62 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: which my friend Avery Merdy with the Georgian Student Transitional Justice. 63 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: It's a really good statistical analysis on last year and 64 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: so things like the fact that in Athens, um Hispanics 65 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: are less likely to get arrest, had been more likely 66 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: to be sentenced to longer confinement. Stuff like the fact 67 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: that black men are only of the Athens population, but 68 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: of those sentenced to confinement in state court and sixty 69 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: of those sentenced to confinement in superior court, and that 70 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: black men serve longer sentences than any other demographic group 71 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: when that data is adjusted for charges spaced independent criminal history. 72 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: So even if you've done similar amount of ship before, 73 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: and even if you're charged with the same thing as 74 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: like a white woman or a black woman or a 75 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: Spanic man, uh, you're gonna get in dail longer. So uh, 76 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: you know that all led us to uh talking about 77 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: how guaranteed quality legal care for all is an important 78 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: part of disrupting the cycle of mass incarceration. So that's 79 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: kind of what I that's tells you a lot about me. 80 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: I think, I mean, I think for people who are 81 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: the uninitiated. You are a commissioner in district too, correct, Yes, 82 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: that's right. So for two years now I've served on 83 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: the Athens, Car County Commission, which is akin to a 84 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: city council in a city of larger size. Um, and 85 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: so deal with local ordinances the way we you know, 86 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: make budgets all that kind of stuff. Right here, Nathan's 87 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: g a yeah, and you did not get into that 88 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: because you were a lifelong like politician. You come from 89 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: a dynastic one of the suck ups and you know, yeah, 90 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: share one of the pods. Save America.

Yeah, 95 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: but can you tell us a little bit about how 96 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: you kind of came to be a commission Are you 97 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: one of the youngest commissioners whatever? Um? Well, there was 98 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: one younger than me before white dude whatever you know, whatever, Um, 99 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: but so I'm the youngest right now. I'm the first 100 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: openly queer elected official Nathan's history as well, Um, but 101 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: I got into politics. I'm a hip hop artist. I'm 102 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: a rapper, and I started organizing hip hop shows. But 103 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: through that learning a lot of the skills of like 104 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: political organizing, getting all people hyped up, getting them you know, 105 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: tension wrapped um, call and response, sharing these stories of struggle. 106 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: And so I met this cat like through a hip 107 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: hop pop show who was running for office at the 108 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: time and took me on first as his field director 109 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: lad as campaign manager. And then in the spring of 110 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: two thousand eighteen, I decided, fuck it, I'm gonna run 111 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: for office myself because we need a full slate of 112 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: progressives running in order to achieve the progressive change that 113 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: we had run on and knocking on doors on telling 114 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 1: the city about um. In addition to that, in my district, 115 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: there was a guy who had served before me for 116 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: twenty five years, run on a post for twenty five years, 117 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: was about to be replaced by like someone when he 118 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: had handpicked, was running on a post. And I was like, 119 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: that ain't democracy, baby, What don't lose, What don't lose? 120 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: I was gonna come in there and talk to these 121 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: people about affordable house. They talked to people about fair, 122 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: free public transportation and uh defunding the police back before 123 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: that was popular and so um and yeah, I just 124 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: ran it, just went for it, you know, just as 125 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: a rapper who like knew other rappers who had been 126 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: treated unfairly about the police. I couldn't find places to 127 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: live because of gentrification, or couldn't afford childcare or making 128 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: some work in at day queen, and like thinking about 129 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: all the problems we talked about in our music and 130 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: how to alleviate them, not through just organizing culturally, you know, 131 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: and bringing the community together through music, but actually bringing 132 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: the community together policy change. Yeah, that's I mean, that's 133 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: just it's it's great to hear stuff like that because 134 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: I think so many people are finding themselves in situations 135 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: too where you look at the leadership locally you're like, 136 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: who the funk are these people? And like what why 137 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: am I surprised that nothing is changing with these people there? 138 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: And just to even you know, stories like yours of 139 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: just how you organically 're like, you know what a 140 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: leads to be at least to see leads to me 141 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: in office. I think it's a great just a great 142 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: like tale and story because I find, you know, the 143 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: more people I talked to even in my own friend 144 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: group there like that idea of being like, dude, like 145 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: do one of us have to run or something like 146 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: people just not get in Like yeah, if you even 147 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: find yourself asking yourself that, that means you've probably looked 148 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: at who's out there vying for power and it ain't 149 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: it because people aren't that smart. You know, they might 150 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: have a lot of money or like connections, but like 151 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: they're really not that good at this, and no one 152 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,679 Speaker 1: challenges them. So many people run out opposed all the time, 153 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: and so I advocate all the time, like win or lose. 154 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: If you get these ideas out there, you raise the 155 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: bar from what the community expects other local governance, what 156 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: they you know, imagine for the future of their community 157 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: by pushing your challenger, the people, the incumbents to actually 158 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: have a town hall, to actually listen to the people. 159 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: So there's nothing but you know, there's nothing to lose 160 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: but your chains. There's everything to gain. I better see 161 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: both of y'all on a ballot council for me. But 162 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 1: I'm like, they're like, you're not ready from a podcast 163 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: or mouth, what is something you think is overrated? Marian 164 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: So I actually think taking down Confederate monuments is kind 165 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: of overrated.

So adding the summer, I'm talking about a 232 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: little bit more of an experience of like just full 233 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: drenched like post meal.

It's like this steam like just loosens everything. 249 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: It's like all right, open the exit doors. And finally, 250 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: what is a myth? What's something people think is true 251 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: you know to be false. Um, the myths I'd like 252 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: to debunk today is that the police keep us safe. 253 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: As we saw in comercial Wiscon and over the weekend, 254 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: there was this man who was breaking up a fight, 255 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: like doing his duty to his community to help maintain 256 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: the peace, and you know, he got shot in the 257 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: back seven times. But in addition, a nineteen seventy two 258 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: study in Kansas City examine how different policing methods, specifically 259 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: the amount of police patrols would affect the crime rate. Essentially, 260 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: they sent more patrols to the normal to one area, 261 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: they did only reactive patrols to a different area, and 262 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: then they kept one area the same And they did 263 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: this for one year and found that there were for 264 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: no significant differences among the three experimental conditions concerning recorded crime, 265 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: reported victimization to this in fear of crime to this, 266 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: sad facts, faction with police service, police response time, arrest 267 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: traffic into it's like all these major indicators. So like 268 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: when people are like scared of like what we're gonna 269 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: do when we defund the police, It's like we literally 270 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: have data saying that, like they're gonna come to us 271 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: as quickly, and like people are just gonna be as 272 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: satisfied with the police, and that's doesn't be as many arrests, 273 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: and like victimization rate's gonna say the same we stop 274 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: this nineteen seventy two. He did this already. Uh so yeah, yeah, 275 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: I think it looks so different based on whatever side 276 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: of that equation, because like the people who are like, well, 277 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do when the police come? Because 278 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: I'm my version of defund the police is violent young 279 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: brown people, black and brown people, and that's now the 280 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: boogie person I've created. There's also I saw a recent 281 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: study that was saying how uh, conservatives, when looking at 282 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: protests view the protesters as more violent than like people 283 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: on the left may who would see that as like 284 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: exercising a civil right. There's also like this immediate thing like, oh, 285 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: that's violence, and that's coming from me. Yeah that hold, 286 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: I mean you hear it even now, especially like in 287 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: l A with with the defunding movement getting more and 288 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: more steam and like listening in on calls with city council, uh, 289 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: the board of supervisors things like that. It's always the 290 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: concerned people like, but what's gonna happen when there are 291 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: no police? And it's like you're not even looking at 292 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: it the same and the thing you call crime is 293 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: just called poor people being left behind. Yeah, exactly, Let's 294 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: put that money in the house, and let's put the 295 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: money to education, mental health care, community guardens. Let's make 296 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: sure everybody's fed, make sure everybody got a roof over 297 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: the head. That's public safety, baby, Yeah, because you'd be 298 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: you know, for the people who are like I couldn't 299 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: imagine a committing a crimes like, let me guess you 300 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: have all your needs met? Probably don't. Yeah, you're not 301 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: worried about busting in the car to see the change 302 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: out of the cup holder because you're trying to buy 303 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: an ice cream sandwich AT's having because whatever it is, Yeah, 304 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: it really is like just take that moment. Even if 305 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: you if you have the blessing of having a stable 306 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: life and your needs are being met, just imagine how 307 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: much less stress that causes the entire everybody else if 308 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: they're living in the same situation, just because we're looking 309 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: for something called you know, equity to them. I feel 310 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: like the idea of like the the version of broken 311 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,719 Speaker 1: window policing that like came down to us through Malcolm 312 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: Gladwell's The Tipping Point and uh Rudy Giuliani is like 313 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: self mythologizing of like I cleaned up New York. Yeah, 314 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 1: it's it's just wild that there's this like very anecdotal, spurious, 315 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: you know, idea of that the police on every corner 316 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: will stop crime and be good for a city. And 317 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: that really took hold for I think, in the public consciousness. 318 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: And then we have actual studies and actual cities that 319 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: abolished the police, uh and have had like demonstrable you know, benefits, 320 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: and you don't hear about those as much Kansas City 321 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: study at all. Right, we need centuries on every corner 322 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: and that's what will prevent the crime because the cops 323 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 1: are watching versus like, you know, they're fed, so they 324 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: don't they're not out here looking for trouble, or they 325 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: have opportunity to higher education upwards, social mobility A boom. All, well, 326 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: we are going to keep talking about that, but first 327 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 1: we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back, 328 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: and we're back and uh yeah, let's talk about Wisconsin. 329 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: Just complete fucking nightmare. Jacob Blake was shot in the 330 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: back seven times in front of his children. His children 331 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: were in the car, like you know, they could reach 332 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: out and touch him. And I haven't confirmed this, but 333 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 1: I read that it was one of the children's birthday 334 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's the rhythm 335 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: of the country continues, you know, it's transgressions murders like 336 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: this lead to some superficial show of support and solidarity 337 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: and empty promises of doing something, and then we do 338 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: it all over again, and then we keep doing it. 339 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 1: But you know, the responses are just people are still 340 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: just as fed up. And I think you see that 341 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: with the the protest that broke out just immediately being like, wow, 342 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: we still haven't you really thought it was a joke. 343 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: In June and may you know the demands are still 344 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: the same, that we begin to re emphasize investment in 345 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: our communities away from just militarizing these like these patrols 346 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: that go around and brutalizing poor people. Uh. And you know, 347 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 1: I'm I just I want, I'm hoping for all these 348 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: people who are like incrementalists, who are into this incremental nonsense, 349 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: that what they really mean, like what that actually means, 350 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: because while people are out here talking for real, serious reforms, 351 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: the incrementalism just means that we just put the boiling 352 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: pot of racist policing that's boiling over. We just set 353 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: that to simmer, and all the while it's still gets 354 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: it has its time, like when you cook soup down 355 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: or something. It gets time to morph and develop new 356 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: nuances in other ways. But during that time, and it 357 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: still allows for the body count count to still go 358 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: up because we're not actually doing something because we're just 359 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: setting it to simmer. And the governor of Wisconsin, you know, 360 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: did the I guess showed us what the new bare 361 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: minimum is when something like this is done, because you know, 362 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: this language is nice, as he said quote. While we 363 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: do not have all of the details yet, what we 364 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: know for certain is that he is not the first 365 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: black man or person who have been shot or injured 366 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals and law 367 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: enforcement in our state or our country. Okay, now let's 368 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: see what this investigation. Glad we're all living in the 369 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: same reality and that we can at least acknowledge those backs. Okay, great, 370 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: we found the floor. Okay, now now let's see what 371 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: the actual results are of how they're going to resolve this, 372 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: what kind of what the investigation yields, or it'll be 373 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: somebody just going on a vacation and sorry, but you 374 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: can still collect your pension whatever that outcome is gonna be. 375 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: I mean, luckily, Jacob Blake is in serious but stable condition. 376 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: The last time I checked, he survived, and that is 377 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: not the intended outcome usually well with seven times, and 378 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: it's another instance of something that, for all intents and purposes, 379 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: probably might as well have not happened if someone didn't 380 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: happen to catch it on video, Like there's no official 381 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: dash cam footage or body cam footage. We're only seeing 382 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: I mean, miles you have referred to it as like Narnia, 383 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 1: Like people won't believe it until they actually it happens 384 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: to them firsthand. Like we're only seeing the parts of 385 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: America's fascist, racist police state that get caught on video. 386 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:06,239 Speaker 1: And I mean this is just like statistically, these are 387 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: just the random cases that happen to be caught on video. Right, 388 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: Because over the weekend as well, there was a gentleman 389 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 1: in I believe, Louisiana, Yeah, Lasa yette um tavord hellerin. 390 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a video of that, but 391 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: I've seen far fewer people talking about it, perhaps because 392 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,479 Speaker 1: the video is not circulating it's widely if it exists 393 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: at all, And so those names get forgotten. Yeah, those 394 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: names get forgotten, and so it's like yeah, I mean 395 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: it's so it's it's like a sad kind of gratitude 396 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: I have for like camera phone technology, but it is 397 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: this that otherwise we would not even be have this 398 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: rise in this country, in this home at a time, 399 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: because people will be able to sweep these things under 400 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: the rug. Still. Yeah, yeah, I just I you know, 401 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,479 Speaker 1: if you're ever on the fence, somebody who's looking at 402 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: this debate that's happening about law enforcement and the reforms 403 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: you need, please understand that we do not we need 404 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: is more emphasis in supporting the people we have left behind, 405 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: and again that the policing is just a secondary industry 406 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: to profit off of the failed safety net that we 407 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: have for people. Because now you can spend all this 408 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: money on these trucks and swat gear and all this 409 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: stuff that they pulled up with in Wisconsin, l A, 410 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 1: any Chicago, anywhere, and like all right, well, now that great, 411 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: we have the money for this. There's budgets for that, 412 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: because there's outrage here because we don't solve any problems, 413 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: and the cycle continues and gets bigger, and then we 414 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 1: can keep spending more money and keep brutalizing people when really, 415 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: like the it's a real short path to stop, pull 416 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: the plug on funding the police and putting the plug 417 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: back into our communities and giving that giving das in life. Yeah, um, 418 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: all right, well we are in the week of the 419 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: Republican National Convention. Kicked off last night, but we're recording 420 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: this before u before it started, so we got some 421 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: clips so far, We've got some clips, and we also 422 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: have the platform of the party, which is literally a 423 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 1: single sentence like usually I mean I I usually don't 424 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: pay too much attention to like platforms, because it seems 425 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: like it's all like, you know, heavily focused group language. 426 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: But it is like how long is a platform? Usually? 427 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: I mean enough that you understand what their thoughts are 428 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: on things like foreign policy, health, you know, the main tenants, 429 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: as well as what the party seeks to do on 430 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: a broader level. The way this statement reads from the 431 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: RNC basically says, look here, I'll just I'll just read 432 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: you what they got. This is the day before the 433 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: convention was supposed to begin. The statement says a resolution 434 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 1: stating that quote the GOP has and will continue to 435 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: enthusiastically support the President's America First agenda and basically saying 436 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: they would not be adopting a new platform until the 437 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: next convention. In it continues, quote, all platforms are snapshots 438 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: of the historical context in which they are born, and 439 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,719 Speaker 1: parties abide by their policy priorities rather than their political rhetoric. 440 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: And they also said it did not want a small 441 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: contingent of delegates formulating a new platform without the breath 442 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: of perspectives within the ever growing Republican movement, so fascist 443 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: like you, that's just straight up, dear leader, whatever dear 444 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: leader says, is a platform that is the most elaborate 445 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: way of just admitting, Look, we as a party have 446 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: hitched our wagon to this racist, predatory comment that is 447 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: headed directly for the fucking sun, where we will vaporize 448 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: on impact. So is it even worth bothering to try 449 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: and pretend that we haven't just airbnbad our party to 450 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: a fascist basically, like that's all it is. So whatever, 451 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: he says, I don't know, we don't really have much 452 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: we can do at this point. We didn't have much 453 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: of the spine anyway, So I mean, I think it 454 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: just shows they've given up. It's like this is his thing. 455 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: We don't know what We can't even do anything anymore? Right, 456 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: are they understaffed? Like this this scene this reads like 457 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,959 Speaker 1: people just realized that they had to do something at 458 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: the last minute, and we're like, uhna, let's get the 459 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 1: intern on it, right or if it's like were they 460 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: tried to do the thing where it wasn't because clearly, 461 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: right all the rhetoric has just been a pedal to 462 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: the metal racism and fearmongering. That's all they And also 463 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 1: it's Trump's worst habit, so and he's old so all 464 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: he can do is lean into his worst fucking habit now, 465 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: and that's just doing this ship like the suburbs, they're 466 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: gonna come for their afordable housing, and then your kids 467 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: will be doing the Savage challenge on TikTok like like 468 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 1: you've never known, Like it's just all this like nonsense, 469 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: just really like it appeals to a very older generation 470 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: in terms of like the fear he's trying to stoke 471 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: and this agenda that he has. The only place you 472 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: can see some semblance of like what the direction is 473 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: is on the website and it reads like a fucking 474 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: last minute project of like you're in like a Civics 475 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: class and your teachers like come up with the most 476 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: fucked up platform for the worst president in the history 477 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: amidst a global pandemic. What does that platform look like? 478 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 1: And it's what this is. It's got six bullet points, 479 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: so you know, I mean it's got more than that. 480 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: This is just these are the ones I pulled. But like, 481 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: just if I'm some of the worst ones right education, 482 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: there's two bullet points, I would say us let's just 483 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: for all of us right now, if we said, let's 484 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: give four good bullet points on how we would reform education, Jack, 485 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: what would you say is one defunding the police and 486 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,719 Speaker 1: putting funding into public education. Okay, well we can get 487 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: to police later, but just in general for for teaching 488 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 1: anything else. Increased funding, comprehensive sex education, comprehensive sex education, 489 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 1: anything else. That sounds good so far. Those are those 490 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 1: seem tangible. This is what This is what Donald Trump 491 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: has on his website. Two bullet points. First, provide school 492 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: choice to every child in America. That's racist. That's just 493 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: that's deracialized racist ship that they developed in the sixties 494 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: and seventies for moms to be like school choice without 495 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: saying I don't want my kids to go with people 496 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 1: that don't look like us. The next point, teach American exceptionalism. 497 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: You'll really y'all playing with me right now? Those are 498 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: the two fucking agenda items. Okay, I teach American exceptionalism 499 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: like that's like saying teach like that's like me saying, like, YO, 500 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: teach our kids about that one that one game I 501 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: had in high school where I shot the lights out 502 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: of the gym. But it's like that's not relevant to 503 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: anything except you, and it doesn't help us. Grow, but 504 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: I like to talking about I've never heard it as 505 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: anything other than a critique of like a mindset of 506 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: like where Americans serious things people like right, nobody like Yeah. 507 00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: It's almost like being like yo, like increased toxic masculine exactly. 508 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: That's right. That's probably buried in the platform something. It 509 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: would be like the deep placification of America. It's like whoa, okay, uh, 510 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: the other American exceptionalism. How about this other bullet point 511 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: under eradicate COVID nineteen. That's an agenda item eradicate COVID nineteen. Okay, fine, 512 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: I mean vaguely, but what are we saying here? First 513 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: bullet point develop a vaccine by the end of boom, Okay, 514 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: thank you, science community form, it's going to kill you know, 515 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: people that they couldn't recruit for the medical trial. Second 516 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: bullet point, yeah, second bullet point funck efficacy testing. No, 517 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: I'm talking the second point. The second point is literally 518 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: returned to normal in boom? What turn? How do you 519 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: even problem? How do you even begin to what does 520 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: that even mean? That's so relative? Are we deciding what 521 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:04,239 Speaker 1: normal was? Yeah? Every single So then I also want 522 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: to get into the this is what they put. Defend 523 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,479 Speaker 1: our police, okay for the Trump and Bang first one, 524 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: fully fund and hire more police and law enforcement officers. Okay, 525 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: increased criminal penalties for assaults on law enforcement officers, prosecute 526 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: drive by shootings as acts of domestic terrorism. Well, that 527 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: would definitely affect your side of the things a lot more. Uh. 528 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: Bring violent extremists, like violent extremist groups like anti to 529 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: Justice also, and end cash less bail and keep dangerous 530 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: criminals locked up until trial. This is just again we're 531 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: not talking about real reforms, we're talking about stoking just 532 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: these racist fears and people. Yeah, it's really uh yeah. 533 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: And the other one is just like it goes on 534 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: for the future, but it's like it goes on down 535 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: the list too. But it really the bullet points are 536 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: so like hollow. It really makes you realized, you know how. 537 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: I mean, we've known that the game has been up 538 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: for the Republicans now for a long time now, but 539 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: like this is really just they're just like operating on 540 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: like vaporwear. I mean, it does seem it does read 541 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: almost like they went through and figured out what progressive 542 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: people are asking for and just say not that the 543 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: opposite of that they were likely went at the d 544 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: n c's democratically elected platform that everybody got it on, 545 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: and they were like, all right, if we're gonna be fascists, 546 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, like how do we just negate all the 547 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,719 Speaker 1: other the big words that they put in there's cash bet, 548 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: I don't know what that is. I don't like it. Yeah, 549 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: exactly right. I did talking about blowing up on Twitter. 550 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: I did screen capa and ad so that I think 551 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: you maybe don't need a platform when you have dope 552 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: ads like this. It's uh, it's like a Mortal Combat 553 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: screen cap with Trump's head on a jump kicking person 554 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: and Joe Biden's had like very poorly photos shopped on 555 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: another UH fighter's body and it says finish him, paid 556 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: for by Trump Make America Great Again Committee, And they're 557 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: like fighting under like the Newark Babe Bridge. Like it's 558 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: so the whole scene is very like specific. It's like, Yo, 559 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: we're out here fighting under the lights of headlights of 560 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: trucks at the new the Newark Babe Bridge like in 561 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: our Karate gys. Yeah, it really does feel like trying 562 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: to reason with a four year old. Like it's maybe 563 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: that was that thing where they don't have Steve Bannon anymore, 564 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: like doing the whole Cambridge analytical whispering, and they're like, 565 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: didn't he say something about video game guys, Now we 566 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: need them just do some some of that Street Fighters shit, 567 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: I'd even be so funny. I mean if as if 568 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: you knew what street Fighter was. But yeah, that really 569 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: it's like almost all those that logic where they're like, wait, 570 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: video game equal support for Trump, therefore make video game 571 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: ad with him jump kicking Biden in wherever the fuck 572 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: Trump's energy bar all the way up Biden's is just 573 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: about out. So it's interesting because it reflects a version 574 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: of reality that no poll or anything is you know, telling. 575 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: But it's possible that I'm hoping he's completely insulated from 576 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: reality and that affects their strategy. Yeah, they're trying to 577 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: meme it into existence, right, you mean hard enough, you 578 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: know we can manifest it. You know, memes so hard 579 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: they want to put me in the White House. That's 580 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do, the small things so hard right now, 581 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: that's I'm gonna get in the way. That's gonna I'm 582 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: gonna if I may appropriate that for some rap lyrics. 583 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: So hard to ya, coming soon. Here we go. Yeah, 584 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: it's it is, it really is. I mean that's that's 585 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: the thing is like he forgot that he was doing 586 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: like this like fake gas populist ship in sixteen, and 587 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: that actually got people fired up because he at least 588 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: tapped into something that conservatives couldn't articulate, which was like, 589 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: the corporatocracy has completely taken all my job prospects away. 590 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,320 Speaker 1: And then I'm on a diet of blaming black and 591 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: brown people for what's actually happening. Uh. But now just 592 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: like the populius ship isn't even there. It's never like, hey, 593 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna bring these jobs back. I remember when this 594 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: town used to Now it's just like Joe, keep these 595 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,800 Speaker 1: black people the funk out of the suburb. Like okay, 596 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 1: so now you gotta do a little bit more, even 597 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,800 Speaker 1: if you want to get even the most racist of 598 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: racists a little bit more excited. I mean, you know, 599 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: surprisingly they're not doing a great job because Spencer just 600 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: came out and said he was voting for Biden. Oh no, 601 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: he did not mean whatever. That guy's not so they're not. 602 00:34:55,360 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: So they're even losing. I'm surprised. Is the d N 603 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 1: C didn't give him a speaking spot, right, Yeah, Richard Spencer, 604 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: He's like, hey, man, like I see it here. Man 605 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: Biden all the way. But I think two former Republican 606 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,240 Speaker 1: senators just you know, announced today that they were siding 607 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 1: with Biden. Everybody, but too late. I mean, it's interesting 608 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 1: Trump is speaking every night at the r n C, 609 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: which is himself talk. It's all about yeah, and that 610 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: is a feature of dictators throughout history. Is like Castro 611 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: would speak for like three hours, Stalin once spoke for 612 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,359 Speaker 1: uh and like made people stand for a speech until 613 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 1: people were like passing out. I mean, narcissism, we've been 614 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: saying is like the cheek code for this version of America. 615 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,760 Speaker 1: But I do think narcissism just flares up and creates 616 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,479 Speaker 1: a a massive, unstoppable dictator every once in a while. 617 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: And that's what we're seeing. That could have been that, 618 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 1: that could have been like the little tagline on this 619 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: weird ad he pulled, Narcissism is the chiefssism um. Alright, 620 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: let's talk about another one of Trump's brain trust that 621 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: will no longer be contus to people. Simply the best 622 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: Kelly an Conaway is going to be leaving her position 623 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: at the White House, which what was her position? She 624 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: wasn't even did advisory, okay, like legal advice. It was 625 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 1: like one of those non things that's like, hey, the 626 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: most articulate person who's willing to debase themselves regularly on TV, 627 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: Like that's all.

Uh, it'll I don't know what's 659 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 1: what's in store for that part of the saga, but 660 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 1: like it makes me wonder, you know, like, yes, it 661 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: could be that they are concerned about their family and 662 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 1: you'd hope that if your child was really out here 663 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: being like my parents suck. I don't want to be 664 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 1: their kids anymore, you'd be like, Okay, maybe I need 665 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 1: to pay more attention with them at home. But this 666 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 1: is the statement that Kelly and Conway gave, like after 667 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,200 Speaker 1: when she announced she said, I will beat quote. I 668 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 1: will be transitioning from the White House at the end 669 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,800 Speaker 1: of this month. George is also making changes. We disagree 670 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,879 Speaker 1: about plenty, but we are united on what matters most. 671 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 1: The kids are four children are teens and tweens starting 672 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: a new act ademic here in middle and high school, 673 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: remotely from our home and for at least a few months, 674 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 1: as millions of parents nationwide no kids doing school from 675 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 1: home requires a level of attention and vigilance that is 676 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: as unusual as these times. Of course, you would blame 677 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: it on right or is it the fact that you know, 678 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,839 Speaker 1: like because she always has to defend what the present saying, 679 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 1: like she wants to have enough distance. So when it 680 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:30,320 Speaker 1: starts getting into super crime time, when you're like, this 681 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,720 Speaker 1: is fake. We these results are no and void based 682 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,800 Speaker 1: on whatever this man had a dream about during his 683 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 1: diet coke like fever dream. I wonder if like you 684 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: don't want to be the face at that point, and 685 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,320 Speaker 1: just like Kylee MCINNI do the rest. So it feels 686 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: like a very fortuitous moment to suddenly be like, I 687 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: care about my children, I care about the One thing 688 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 1: that I've heard rumblings is coming during the r n 689 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 1: C is that they're going to announce like a big 690 00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 1: breakthrough between Israel and Saudi Arabia, and like that's going 691 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 1: to be the thing, because they keep talking about this 692 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 1: big surprise that's coming, and I think Pompeo is doing 693 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 1: his address from uh somewhere in the Middle East. I 694 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 1: think so, thank God, Yeah, because I will help all 695 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: the water in Flint, Michigan. Yes, yeah, real miracle, Thank 696 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:22,400 Speaker 1: you so much. I think they're overestimating how much is support. 697 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 1: You could have announced a factory reopening in fucking Pennsylvania 698 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 1: and gotten way more cloud off that and than being like, hey, 699 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 1: Jerry did a shitty arms deal behind everyone's back and 700 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: then we got them to sit for this photo op. 701 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,719 Speaker 1: Don't ask what that's gonna look like in about eight months, 702 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,879 Speaker 1: but that's really president to deal with the ORB. Yeah, 703 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: I got that big warb energy yeah, alright, guys, let's 704 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: take another quick break and we'll be right back, and 705 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 1: we're back, and a couple other stories just catching up 706 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:06,400 Speaker 1: on so Kim Jong un. There was this a boil. 707 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: The news cycle went went to a boil earlier in 708 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 1: the year that he was in a coma, possibly dead 709 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 1: because he wasn't making any public appearances after a scheduled 710 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 1: open heart surgery. But then he did make an appearance 711 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,799 Speaker 1: and people are like, oh, well, are bad. I guess 712 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 1: we had that wrong. Uh, And now there's chatter picking 713 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: up again that those videos were actually old and repurposed 714 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: and uh, he actually didn't show up at a lot 715 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 1: of like he's been there like releasing videos of like 716 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: psych He did make an appearance. Here's the video we 717 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: took of that. Um, but he's not appearing at any 718 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 1: of like the big statewide events that are scheduled that 719 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:56,480 Speaker 1: people would be like watching independently. So it's just people 720 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 1: are suspicious and think that he might actually be in 721 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,360 Speaker 1: a coma and his sister might be taken over. So 722 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 1: is he isn't he will they won't they? It's like 723 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 1: kind of keep on their fingers crossed that maybe he 724 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 1: is in a coma. You know, it's like it's like 725 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,320 Speaker 1: what like like our thing with Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. 726 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,479 Speaker 1: It's like they say, it's like the foreign policy version. 727 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,239 Speaker 1: It's like it's actually dead. I don't know. I think 728 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,280 Speaker 1: he is. He's probably in a coma. Based on these clues. 729 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,520 Speaker 1: Someone was holding their ear during the press conference. We 730 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 1: mess it's like, okay, I don't know. Man, like either way, 731 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 1: it's bad over there. Man being a comma being like 732 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: is his sister really running things? Get the t report 733 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 1: on TMZ and you're like, what, TMZ, why are you 734 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,080 Speaker 1: reporting on this? Yeah, this does feel like it should 735 00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 1: be a TMZ story. Uh Sturgis the motorcycle rally that 736 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 1: we had been talking about a couple of weeks back, 737 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:56,320 Speaker 1: went through. It happened, four hundred and eighty thousand bikers 738 00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:02,840 Speaker 1: got together like it wasen and it ended on August 739 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:10,719 Speaker 1: and all good, no no cases, everybody is healthy the end. Right. Yeah, 740 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 1: exactly as you thought. When you get a bunch of 741 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 1: people who are aggressively anti science together to like ignore it. No, 742 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,200 Speaker 1: I mean, look we're still there. It ended the seventeen 743 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,640 Speaker 1: so we're probably going to be get into that phase 744 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 1: where we see more reports, but so far they have 745 00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,840 Speaker 1: like a lot of cases tied to about three states 746 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 1: now like Minnesota, South Dakota, UH and I forget or else. 747 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,520 Speaker 1: There's Florida also. I mean, I think we can always 748 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,520 Speaker 1: that's always a safe bet given like sturgists and the 749 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,240 Speaker 1: state of Florida and things like that overlap. But in Nebraska, 750 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: that's what it was Nebraska. So they were saying they 751 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:47,879 Speaker 1: have a few cases of people who were they said 752 00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,799 Speaker 1: from one of the public health district officials there were 753 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 1: saying that they were able to tie a few of 754 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 1: these cases of people who direct like we're at Sturgists 755 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,320 Speaker 1: and we're like, I didn't wear a mask. I was 756 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,320 Speaker 1: at this bar. I was with these people. There was 757 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 1: a bar One Eyed Jack's, which also had a customer 758 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,319 Speaker 1: had tested positive, like right after on the eleventh, while 759 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:12,399 Speaker 1: the UH like biker festival was still happening, And there's 760 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 1: like a whole article about One Eyed Jack's because like 761 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,799 Speaker 1: in the Daily Beasts they talked to like a their 762 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 1: story on it was about this Motley Crue tribute band 763 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,239 Speaker 1: who had drove from Ohio to do the festival, to 764 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,839 Speaker 1: to play at One Eye Jack's. And then when they 765 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:29,319 Speaker 1: got there, they got like completely like fucking swindle. They 766 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,320 Speaker 1: thought they thought they were gonna get meal tickets and 767 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 1: drink tickets. They didn't get any of that. Ship. When 768 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:34,600 Speaker 1: you're like, well, hey, we're supposed to get our feet, 769 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 1: they got like laughed at them, and they only just 770 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,439 Speaker 1: they barely had enough money just to have the gas 771 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,000 Speaker 1: to drive home, like we would have been stranded. But 772 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,080 Speaker 1: like their attitude was like there, like you know what, 773 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,160 Speaker 1: like that's their karma that like they had an outbreak 774 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,440 Speaker 1: there because like they could have treated us better. But 775 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 1: then they were like, but weren't you afraid of what 776 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:56,239 Speaker 1: do you mean like you were going to that? Yeah, 777 00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 1: don't like don't pivot on like this karma ships as 778 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,160 Speaker 1: if you believe that was negative because prior to that, 779 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: apparently when people when he was raising the money for 780 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 1: his band to get like the money to get to Sturges, 781 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:07,920 Speaker 1: he was like, look, man, it is what it is, 782 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,719 Speaker 1: like you're gonna get it at some point, so like 783 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,080 Speaker 1: we can't. Life's too short. Life's too short to live long, 784 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,799 Speaker 1: So try and abbreviate it and make it as short 785 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 1: as possible by doing well Reckless Ship. And then called 786 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,920 Speaker 1: karma when you don't get your way, like okay, sir, 787 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 1: thank you. Uh, that's one of the stages of COVID 788 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:30,279 Speaker 1: nineteen coping. Yeah, right, everyone's gonna catch coping nineteen. I mean, 789 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,120 Speaker 1: I live in a college town. I'm a PhD student 790 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:33,839 Speaker 1: at the University of Georgia. That and we've already heard 791 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:38,319 Speaker 1: reports of like within Greek life, people are telling each 792 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 1: other to like keep it quiet if you get COVID 793 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,440 Speaker 1: because it's bad. Pr they don't want it to get out. 794 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:47,480 Speaker 1: There's the infection clusters, you know, within like the pan 795 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,080 Speaker 1: Hellenic Society and so like, I would not be surprised 796 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,360 Speaker 1: if some people got it, but they're like keeping it 797 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,920 Speaker 1: on lolo, so the meeting I don't find out, and 798 00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 1: then they all get last at publicly and nationally for 799 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:05,480 Speaker 1: their completely ridiculousness. Yeah. And then I mean, who, like, 800 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,800 Speaker 1: people don't have to tell if they do get sick, right, So, 801 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:11,719 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure a lot of the people who 802 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,960 Speaker 1: get sick from this won't won't be uh running to 803 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:21,719 Speaker 1: the newspaper to be like I was wrong everything. What 804 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 1: is just the general atmosphere on campuses are people on campus, 805 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 1: people on campus, So we we at least we got 806 00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 1: a mask mandate out of this summer. But classes are 807 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 1: in person um and so I teached in person tomorrow UM. 808 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:41,279 Speaker 1: And actually, according to epidemiological models by like scientists at 809 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,359 Speaker 1: the University of Georgia, based on the protocols in place 810 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 1: keep people safe in the campus population um, they have 811 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,960 Speaker 1: uh curtainised that if we continue with the reopening plans, 812 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,479 Speaker 1: we're likely to have half of the campus population about 813 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,840 Speaker 1: thirty people infected in the next two months. And so 814 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,640 Speaker 1: people aren't how to do the whole like social distancing 815 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 1: on campus and spread out or the mass. But the 816 00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:08,360 Speaker 1: bars are going crazy right now, like the house parties, 817 00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,320 Speaker 1: the beer pong, the sex in the pool, all that 818 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,120 Speaker 1: ship is like on full blast right now.

Yeah alright, So 833 00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 1: our writer j M was wondering what Halloween is gonna 834 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,960 Speaker 1: look like. All the big celebrations, a theme parks like 835 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,960 Speaker 1: where you get chased by people dressed as zombies and 836 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 1: all that good ship have already been canceled. Um, trigger treating. 837 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,359 Speaker 1: I think A Reason poll found that only twenty seven 838 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,680 Speaker 1: percent of parents are planning on taking their kids out 839 00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:25,080 Speaker 1: this year. Um, there's actually an app that was created 840 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:30,680 Speaker 1: by I Think marsh that is basically virtual trigger treating, 841 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 1: where you like go around on your phone and get 842 00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:38,080 Speaker 1: like io used for candy from your neighbors, which sounds 843 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:45,239 Speaker 1: are they legally binding? Exactly? Yeah, that's that's how we 844 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,760 Speaker 1: save the post office. We get the iOS of the candy, 845 00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:55,200 Speaker 1: put it in the mail ship to the children's houses. Huge, 846 00:48:56,560 --> 00:49:00,359 Speaker 1: huge rush on shipping the last weekend in October going 847 00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:05,080 Speaker 1: into the beginning of November. Yeah, oh, I take it 848 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 1: back because it's going to be hard for Taunted Zone. 849 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:09,960 Speaker 1: I like this, Yeah, I watch Trump is like, this 850 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,640 Speaker 1: is what you're gonna do. Hold it for after the election, 851 00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:20,520 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? The new Halloween November, Yeah, Thanksgiving, 852 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 1: Black Friday, Halloween Sunday, or Halloween Saturday. Just just turn 853 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,760 Speaker 1: November all the way up. But the way the app 854 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,919 Speaker 1: works is basically neighbors by credits for their candy, kids 855 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:35,680 Speaker 1: collect and redeem it participating stores, so there's never any interaction. Um. 856 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,880 Speaker 1: And then if how do you judge the neighbors for 857 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,680 Speaker 1: the kind of candy they get? I mean comments like 858 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:47,120 Speaker 1: notes like man, right, oh yeah, I'm about to redeem 859 00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:51,080 Speaker 1: this coupon for toothbrushes for some ship, right, and you 860 00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,799 Speaker 1: send them gifts of eggs and toilet paper if if 861 00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:57,640 Speaker 1: they have a candy with like three M and m's 862 00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:01,200 Speaker 1: in a little fun size bag. All right, this is 863 00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 1: my eighties stand up routine. What's the what's the deal? 864 00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,719 Speaker 1: Why are they called fun? It's I don't have fun? 865 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,839 Speaker 1: Was it fun? It's not enough candy to have fun? 866 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:21,399 Speaker 1: You want the whole thing. It's old. Did you read 867 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:25,600 Speaker 1: his op ed in the New York Times? Even it 868 00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:29,520 Speaker 1: was like it was so weird because it was like 869 00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 1: sort of adopting this attitude of like, for the people 870 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:36,280 Speaker 1: who think New York's dead, look at yourself. This whole city, 871 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 1: it's built on people picking it up from the ashes 872 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,320 Speaker 1: and making it better. When I woved here in the 873 00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:46,040 Speaker 1: late seventies, before the dogs Pooper Scooper Loves, there was 874 00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:49,160 Speaker 1: dog shit everywhere. I didn't leave. I knew it, and 875 00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:51,319 Speaker 1: I loved that. And it was like this whole thing 876 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,320 Speaker 1: about the resilience of New Yorkers, which is true, but 877 00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,680 Speaker 1: like it was it was also aimed at somebody who 878 00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,000 Speaker 1: had said that like New York's dead, and like I'm 879 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,919 Speaker 1: going to Florida and that that really that really really 880 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,920 Speaker 1: got him fired up. But then it's also like, my man, 881 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,440 Speaker 1: like you you have so much money, Like you have 882 00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 1: a like a gilded palace in the sky in which 883 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,799 Speaker 1: you look down upon Manhattan like from versus like you're 884 00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,600 Speaker 1: not elbow to elbow with people like on the Metro 885 00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,320 Speaker 1: or some ship like that.

But yeah, it was interesting because while 888 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:32,680 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I get the feeling like I 889 00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:34,840 Speaker 1: felt like New York Twitter, like it was very split, 890 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:36,719 Speaker 1: like a lot of people like this is the ship man, 891 00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,359 Speaker 1: thank you, and then like Jack possobiak to fucking right 892 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,279 Speaker 1: wing troll was sort of like, uh, Jerry Seinfeld is 893 00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,840 Speaker 1: a billionaire, And I was like what, okay, granted, but like, okay, 894 00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,560 Speaker 1: so now you found the same take as leftist Twitter congrats. 895 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:55,560 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, they accidentally hit on the truth every 896 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 1: once in a while. Yeah, it's always funny and they're 897 00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:01,680 Speaker 1: like right. It's usually in response like a Hollywood like 898 00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,920 Speaker 1: celebrity doing something right, but it's like somehow the other 899 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,839 Speaker 1: billionaires You're like, no, they're they're okay, Like what they're 900 00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,520 Speaker 1: trying to do is create liberty in this country. Yes. 901 00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:15,000 Speaker 1: One trend that originated in Japan and seems to be 902 00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,279 Speaker 1: at least people are trying it out here drive through 903 00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:21,480 Speaker 1: haunted houses, where that sounds kind of lit. Yeah, I mean, 904 00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,560 Speaker 1: judging from the pictures, it basically looks like a reverse 905 00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 1: car wash where people just like smear your windshield with 906 00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:34,160 Speaker 1: fake blood. But but they I don't know, I would 907 00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,640 Speaker 1: be freaked out. I actually went to that was what 908 00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,520 Speaker 1: I did with my kids this weekend, is took them 909 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 1: to a car wash, and that was thoroughly entertaining. So yeah, 910 00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:46,840 Speaker 1: that's the thing. Like a reverse car wash would be 911 00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,719 Speaker 1: even better. Who when you're in there. I also feel 912 00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,279 Speaker 1: like if you're a real jumpy like you'd like for 913 00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,040 Speaker 1: sure turn your car off and police put the keys 914 00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,719 Speaker 1: in this plate so there's you don't errently run over 915 00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:03,680 Speaker 1: this characters during reverse car wash. Yeah, because all it 916 00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,279 Speaker 1: takes one person and not really be on top of 917 00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,480 Speaker 1: ship and you have a real fucked up haunted house situation, 918 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,200 Speaker 1: like it would need to be like a car wash 919 00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:17,640 Speaker 1: where you're on the like, but even then in neutral. Yeah, 920 00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,040 Speaker 1: even because I remember one of the first times in 921 00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:21,520 Speaker 1: high school I got in one of those things. I 922 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:23,080 Speaker 1: was like, don't I leave it and drive like it's 923 00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:24,799 Speaker 1: not going and I could sell it was like sh 924 00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:26,880 Speaker 1: it almost rearinded this escalator was like no, no, no, no, 925 00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,880 Speaker 1: this ain't it. Yeah, based on the pictures, that looks 926 00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:33,239 Speaker 1: like you just drive into a little uh storage container. 927 00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:37,200 Speaker 1: People just roll up to your car and act like 928 00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,960 Speaker 1: zombies and pull at your window and then it's like, 929 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,880 Speaker 1: all right, you can you can leave now. Okay. So 930 00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,440 Speaker 1: it's like having a BLM sign in your car going 931 00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:52,760 Speaker 1: through like a conservative rally or something. Yeah, ah lives 932 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:59,239 Speaker 1: back the blue.

But so Chinese and South Korean box 936 00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:16,680 Speaker 1: offices had massive reopening weekends because they had a big 937 00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:20,240 Speaker 1: movie called I think it was like three Hundred Soldiers 938 00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,680 Speaker 1: or something like that that had a big Chinese blockbuster 939 00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:28,680 Speaker 1: come out that is the biggest movie of already after 940 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,799 Speaker 1: like a week and a half.

Right, Yeah, it's beating Sonic the Hedgehog, 942 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:47,759 Speaker 1: so yeah, it's yeah, um but yeah. So I mean 943 00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:52,240 Speaker 1: they have at least had leadership and a consistent message 944 00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,640 Speaker 1: in those countries. So I know, South Korea is like 945 00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:58,640 Speaker 1: starting to see a slight uptick, but people, I think, 946 00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:02,640 Speaker 1: no where they stand, whereas in the US, like I 947 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:04,400 Speaker 1: I just don't know that it's going to be a 948 00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:06,520 Speaker 1: one to one thing where suddenly in the US they 949 00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,719 Speaker 1: put a movie in theaters and everyone just goes to 950 00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,759 Speaker 1: the theaters like as normal, because I don't know.
