Speaker 1: so we'll just take a look at some of those stories.

Speaker 1: a half of one of those, but there it is.
Speaker 1: But before we get to any of that, Marie, we

Speaker 1: and I think it. You know, all those shore towns

Speaker 1: fun wintry vibe.
Speaker 2: Is this your first time meeting your niece?
Speaker 5: I just met her during Thanksgiving but that was a brief. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but so this will be like a cute four days

Speaker 5: Rocky Run but with the still just like we're going
Speaker 5: to take you seeing.
Speaker 1: The combine the Rocky Run with the battleship Tempkin, you know,
Speaker 1: or the Untouchables baby carriage scene. Yeah, all right, Maria?
Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 5: Handwritten notes? Actually, I've been recently like rediscovering. I've been
Speaker 5: like doing a clean out, and I like rediscovered like
Speaker 5: a note from my best friend from high school, and
Speaker 5: I was just like, oh my god. It took me
Speaker 5: back to that like specific moment in time in a
Speaker 5: way that like when I'm cleaning out my phone, I'm
Speaker 5: not paying attention to of like okay, oh.
Speaker 1: That's right because it's tangible.
Speaker 5: Right, yeah, yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: And then you're like, do I have the heart to
Speaker 1: make this garbage? Yeah? No, and I don't.
Speaker 5: The answer is that there's a little box now of
Speaker 5: like momento. So it's like kind of.
Speaker 2: Like a a lot of time, a lot of time
Speaker 2: was spent on folding this note proceress to be able
Speaker 2: to pass I can't just throw that away and hear that.
Speaker 5: Yet, Like do you ever remember like or did it
Speaker 5: ever happened to you where it's like people would full
Speaker 5: them into orgami shapes too, Like I once got like
Speaker 5: a little frog. I'm like, yeah, there's this was detailed
Speaker 5: in the delivery, not just written part of it.
Speaker 2: But I think the first or I think white people
Speaker 2: orgami is the fortune teller. Oh yeah, that was like
Speaker 2: the first forum where you see like I remember because
Speaker 2: being Japanese, like we would do orgami like at my
Speaker 2: house as a kid, and then I remember seeing kids.
Speaker 2: I remember the first time I saw a kid making
Speaker 2: a fortune time, like, oh you're doing origami. They're like what, no,
Speaker 2: it's you're number miles. Okay, you are going to Mary
Speaker 2: missus Low the teacher.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yeah. I used to get notes past
Speaker 1: me and origami snowballs. They were just like kind of
Speaker 1: watted up, wadded up into a ball and yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: so because they looked at the frog sounds nice, The
Speaker 1: frog sounds nice? Yeah? Was it?
Speaker 2: What was the drama in the note? Was there any
Speaker 2: drama or was just kind of like I love you
Speaker 2: best you kind of It was mostly.
Speaker 5: Like and I love you bestie. Uh like kind of
Speaker 5: just like just you know, revamp of the day, like
Speaker 5: how la vibes? Yeah, yeah, are there's some with drama.
Speaker 5: I remember there were ones with drama, but the one
Speaker 5: that I.
Speaker 1: Found was not drama filed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm like, oh, she got to think about it. God,
Speaker 2: I wish I wish I saved some of those, because
Speaker 2: I remember like there were ones that were so fucking
Speaker 2: wild that like you would, you would pass them around
Speaker 2: like it was the newspaper and be like you don't
Speaker 2: fucking tell them. I fucking let you read this ship
Speaker 2: and then like you know, take it to classroom like yes,
Speaker 2: but don't up. Yeah. Yeah, good times before text messaging.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got a handwritten note from an older girl
Speaker 1: who was like I had a crush on She was like,
Speaker 1: call me after school. I called her and it was nothing.
Speaker 1: It was she didn't have anything to say. I don't
Speaker 1: know what was what was happening to me.
Speaker 2: She didn't keep that same energy from the note on
Speaker 2: the phone call, So what's up?
Speaker 1: Nothing?
Speaker 5: You can still like misinterpret, like or give someone a
Speaker 5: voice or reasoning if it fits text or handwritten it's
Speaker 5: just like, oh this is gonna be interesting and cool.
Speaker 1: What can I help you with? Not that, I guess,
Speaker 1: I just like talk to my friends on the phone.
Speaker 1: What Anyways, I feel like those notes from that time
Speaker 1: they always seem like war correspondences, like that, they're always
Speaker 1: like and who can forget the you know, like they're
Speaker 1: alluding to something that will never forget as long as
Speaker 1: we live.
Speaker 2: Like mister Gamble, he's on one again. Anyway, that's the bell.

Speaker 5: I would prefer hash brown over a French fry.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a okay okay, I'm I just not.
Speaker 5: A potato Like potatoes are great, but like the form
Speaker 5: of the French fry fry, I feel like it's done,
Speaker 5: it's not.
Speaker 1: Doing as much.
Speaker 5: I also prefer a sweet potato fry, you know what
Speaker 5: I mean, Like there's something more exciting.
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, well I'm and I are rarely speechless, but yeah,
Speaker 1: are you a sorry? Y'all? Don't you don't like because

Speaker 1: So many crispy hash browns though, you know, like the
Speaker 1: at diners, you get like that just soft ass thing,
Speaker 1: and it's just like there will be like one part
Speaker 1: that's got like a little crunch to it, but then
Speaker 1: everything else. I'm just like, I don't know. I would
Speaker 1: have taken a side of McDonald's fries here instead of
Speaker 1: this hash.
Speaker 5: Well that's like, if you're gonna do French fries, I
Speaker 5: feel like McDonald fries, that's your okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you'll allow you'll allow me.

Speaker 2: n k E nk Ei, and like they for people
Speaker 2: who are like really into like JDM accessories. There's like
Speaker 2: these Matt Bronze wheels that I just saw and it
Speaker 2: took me into a time machine when I was like

Speaker 2: auto tuner games.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot. I wish I had the coolness
Speaker 1: to put those rims on my car. Yeah, I wish
Speaker 1: I did, and I do now because look, I was

Speaker 1: Way such thing, No, such thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you really need that downward force on the back
Speaker 2: for traction. I totally get that when you're when you're
Speaker 2: fish tailing.
Speaker 1: I wanted the back wheels to start taking off a
Speaker 1: little it I'm going down the highway.
Speaker 2: I'm just about to take flight in my midi van underflow. Well,

Speaker 1: And we're back this. Yes, yes, you're right, So you know,
Speaker 1: just continuing to follow the story of Luigi Mangioni, and
Speaker 1: you know he's in custody. He has a lawyer who's
Speaker 1: like a small town lawyer who headlines got the case
Speaker 1: of a lifetime.
Speaker 2: Do you see that press conference when he was like yeah,
Speaker 2: he's like, he's like, that's the thing, you know, like
Speaker 2: if you charge someone with a crime, you need you
Speaker 2: need evidence, and right now they don't got none. He's like, here,
Speaker 2: do you want to see what they got? And he
Speaker 2: pulled out his hand like this, empty hands, and he said,
Speaker 2: go ahead, zoom in on this, zoom in on this.
Speaker 2: They got nothing, and it was sort of the energy
Speaker 2: was like I'm not saying he didn't do it, but
Speaker 2: I'm saying they don't have a proof.
Speaker 1: Like was kind of the energy. So I'm like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: this is a note with him that was like hey,
Speaker 1: let me just save y'all a bunch of time. Yeah, yeah, shit,
Speaker 1: Here's why I did that shit, Here's how I did
Speaker 1: that shit.
Speaker 2: So wild because like, right now, I've just seen more
Speaker 2: than a fair share of articles that like have the
Speaker 2: gist of like what was his motive? Trying to understand
Speaker 2: why this person did this? And I get like, as
Speaker 2: a journalist, you need to be objective and when talking
Speaker 2: about like the potential motive here, and while like there
Speaker 2: might not be like a smoking gun sentence that just
Speaker 2: says that starts with the reason for me killing him
Speaker 2: is like in his manifesto, it's pretty clear what motivated
Speaker 2: him to do this, just based on what he has
Speaker 2: written and you know, his other comments surrounding like his
Speaker 2: you know, just observations around society and corporate greed. But
Speaker 2: I'm just like, wait, what why is everyone sort of
Speaker 2: scratching their heads at this point because there was some
Speaker 2: way to know what his motivation was clearly radicalized by
Speaker 2: his own physical pain and experiences with the healthcare system
Speaker 2: based on what I've been reading along with like his
Speaker 2: very publicly the public statements about his disdain for CEOs
Speaker 2: profiting off of like people's basic needs. But like one
Speaker 2: of the biggest articles from the last week was about
Speaker 2: how he played the video game among Us.
Speaker 7: I was going to guess, it's got to be among us,
Speaker 7: the game about being a killer, and who can figure
Speaker 7: out if you're in sight? Bro, people play among us?
Speaker 7: Like that's that was the that's like a serious take.
Speaker 1: And then I saw a kind of they have like
Speaker 1: things there exactly like some people are sus as you
Speaker 1: say when playing among us. But yeah, like I'm in
Speaker 1: business insider. I saw this this morning.
Speaker 2: Uh, they were acting like the headline was Luigi Mangioni's
Speaker 2: online life reveals so much about without answering one key
Speaker 2: question that was the headline, and it goes on, this.
Speaker 1: Is the one key question, something that my doctor doesn't
Speaker 1: want to know about, doesn't want me to know about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this one that doctor, doctor doesn't want you to know.
Speaker 1: This line was in the article.
Speaker 2: Quote trying to make sense of this online trail doesn't
Speaker 2: seem to get us any closer to a potential motivation
Speaker 2: for why he went from someone who was frustrated with
Speaker 2: the healthcare system like nearly all of us are, to
Speaker 2: being accused of three D printing a gun and shooting
Speaker 2: someone to death. I see like a lot of articles
Speaker 2: spent on like which political side he might have been on,
Speaker 2: and they're like.
Speaker 1: We just can't tell. Man, this guy's like hard to
Speaker 1: nail down.
Speaker 2: Like what like what his actual political like is he
Speaker 2: a Democrat or a Republican? There's there are some people
Speaker 2: who don't fit into those boxes.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: And then there are other ones that basically say, like,
Speaker 2: he had all kinds of stuff he was into, like
Speaker 2: on the internet, but it's hard to know why he
Speaker 2: did what he did.
Speaker 1: And I'm not like, again.
Speaker 2: I understand the restraint to not speculate here, but there's
Speaker 2: like seldom any time spent in these articles on the
Speaker 2: state of healthcare when that is one of the most
Speaker 2: consistent things gets publicly written about. So yeah, I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna assume it's the corporate capture of our newsrooms, is
Speaker 2: why we're it's not turning into like basically a flashpoint
Speaker 2: in our society.
Speaker 1: The fact that they, in the motive thing were like,
Speaker 1: and believe me, we're all frustrated to the point of
Speaker 1: losing our mind with our healthcare system, but why would
Speaker 1: he go this extra step that we're all felt ourselves
Speaker 1: compelled to at least consider, and is Yeah, it's I
Speaker 1: feel like, yeah, they just don't want to say the
Speaker 1: thing that everybody kind of already knows it is.
Speaker 2: Because it's wild though too, because Senator Elizabeth Warren even
Speaker 2: said this quote. The visceral response from people across this
Speaker 2: country who feel cheated, ripped off, and threatened by the
Speaker 2: vile practices of their insurance companies should be a warning
Speaker 2: to everywhere in the everyone in the healthcare system. Violence
Speaker 2: is never the answer. But people can only be pushed
Speaker 2: so far.
Speaker 1: Damn Elizabeth Warren. Wait, was that a quote from his manifesto?
Speaker 2: Or this is a warning that if you push people
Speaker 2: hard enough, they lose faith in the ability of their
Speaker 2: government to make change, lose faith in the ability of
Speaker 2: the people who are providing the healthcare to make change,
Speaker 2: and start to take matters into their own hands in
Speaker 2: ways that will ultimately be a threat to everyone.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, it's definitely French revolution niche.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've had to walk that back too, Yeah she did.
Speaker 2: She's like, obviously violence is not the answer. That's that's
Speaker 2: not That's not what I'm saying. But like, come on, y'all,
Speaker 2: do you not are we not understanding how this happened?
Speaker 1: For real? Like completely obviously that's not the answer. Did
Speaker 1: you guys see that girl who like slept with one
Speaker 1: hundred people? Anyways, moving on, I'll be over here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, holy shit, it's just very I mean, like, at
Speaker 2: the very least, it's clear that maybe the people that
Speaker 2: are writing these stories just do not want to acknowledge
Speaker 2: this sheer desperation that people experience as a result of
Speaker 2: living in the pay to live version of the United
Speaker 2: States that we're currently in. And I think that's probably
Speaker 2: the like they're probably trying to keep the like the
Speaker 2: flood wall from like the dam from breaking to fully
Speaker 2: be all like an all out call for everyone to
Speaker 2: be like we have to completely change our healthcare system,
Speaker 2: Like this is like, this is why we need to
Speaker 2: change things. Yeah, it's more just like it's sort of
Speaker 2: getting into the minutia of like what books, what books
Speaker 2: was he about to read? Yeah, what clues does that
Speaker 2: give us? It's like, I don't know if everyone else
Speaker 2: just look at the reaction from people. They are immediately
Speaker 2: connecting the dots here. Oh yeah, it's very busar.
Speaker 5: And also the way he's being like viewed and portrayed too,
Speaker 5: Like all of New York, we like a lot of
Speaker 5: us were just like and what are we having? No,
Speaker 5: Like all of New York consensus was like, heck no,
Speaker 5: he can go free. We don't care. Like they were
Speaker 5: doing a bunch of like if you see anything, let
Speaker 5: us know, And it's like it just tells you the
Speaker 5: state of things when people are like no, because that
Speaker 5: feels in line with like how desperate I'm feeling and
Speaker 5: what I feel the system.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's if you see something, don't say ship,
Speaker 1: you don't say ship? Okay, yeah, did you see the
Speaker 1: thing too? No? No, no, no are they we don't snitch?
Speaker 1: Like no everybody.
Speaker 5: There's like I mean, at least there's there's a tweet
Speaker 5: going around, so there's like it's a TikTok happening where
Speaker 5: it's like just like the picture of like so, but I.
Speaker 1: Feel like Wendy's would do that. Wendy's glitter was wild.
Speaker 2: I remember for a while like Wendy's were like ye,
Speaker 2: Wendy already knows, bro, Wendy ain't got no stitches, you
Speaker 2: know why, don't even want to tell you. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I think the other part is like it's really wild
Speaker 2: to just get these like things, Like it's part of
Speaker 2: it is like not really laying out what the problems
Speaker 2: are our healthcare system, which should be like the next
Speaker 2: step of like the analysis of what's happening here. But
Speaker 2: then meanwhile you have people being admonished for being like
Speaker 2: this person got killed, and I get that that is terrible,
Speaker 2: Like the murder part is fucking terrible, but it rings
Speaker 2: hollow when other people when they are reduced to a
Speaker 2: fucking nebulous number on a spreadsheet and they're like, I
Speaker 2: need life saving medical care, I need life changing medical care,
Speaker 2: and it's like, nah, sorry, move on with your shit.
Speaker 1: That actually it's my job to tell you no, and
Speaker 1: that that would be irresponsible to pay for your medical
Speaker 1: care because the market doesn't think you should get medical care.
Speaker 2: Where are the pieces admonishing those people, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, for the treatment coming this way to all
Speaker 2: the normal working people in the United States. So it's
Speaker 2: just like it's there's so many things that like this
Speaker 2: story is bringing up, like a how fucking desperate people feel,
Speaker 2: how they have a complete lack of belief in how
Speaker 2: the politicians are able to change anything that like that.
Speaker 2: There's there's all like how we have guns red There's
Speaker 2: so many things that like this this whole story encapsulates.
Speaker 2: But it's really odd to just see a lot of
Speaker 2: people be like, ah, just scratching our heads. What the
Speaker 2: what the heck would make someone do something like that? Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the reaction is alarming, Like how into this everybody
Speaker 1: is is alarming, And the point of an alarm is
Speaker 1: to alert you that something is wrong and that you
Speaker 1: have to pay fucking attention. But you can't do that
Speaker 1: if you're like, if only there was some way to
Speaker 1: know what this is all about, It's like, what the
Speaker 1: fuck are you talking about.
Speaker 2: There's even like in the other even talking other articles
Speaker 2: about how some of his note in his notebook, he's
Speaker 2: like he opted for a gun instead of a to
Speaker 2: not hurt innocent people because he wanted to go after
Speaker 2: a CEO.
Speaker 1: Like it's there's just so.
Speaker 2: Even in their reporting, they're they're dropping nuggets that you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: that's interesting, and now I'm starting to see more articles
Speaker 2: or they're like police are starting to really narrow in
Speaker 2: on the motive now based on what they've all seen,
Speaker 2: and well.
Speaker 1: Keep us posted on that when there's a break in
Speaker 1: the case, let us know, right, yeah, all right, let's uh,
Speaker 1: should we talk about what we're learning from the Trump administration,
Speaker 1: the kind of where their early priorities of authoritarian fascism
Speaker 1: are going to take them and.
Speaker 2: Us, right, I mean, two bits of news in this
Speaker 2: last week seemed to be an indicator of how, you know,
Speaker 2: MAGA is trying to wear us down in terms of
Speaker 2: turning a blind eye to their forthcoming atrocities. Right now,
Speaker 2: the two groups getting a lot of attention from a
Speaker 2: public Republicans are obviously undocumented people and unhoused people. So
Speaker 2: in order for their plans to go smoothly, they need
Speaker 2: as many Americans as possible to lose sight of the
Speaker 2: fact that these are human beings with rights that deserve
Speaker 2: to live as happily as anyone else that is here.
Speaker 2: So over the weekend, in that Meet the Press interview
Speaker 2: on NBC, Trump was saying that essentially he's going to
Speaker 2: put an end to birthright citizenship and change the Constitution
Speaker 2: through executive order in order to make his executive order
Speaker 2: in order to make his plans for mass deportation like
Speaker 2: legally frictionless. Well, last time I checked, changing the Constitution
Speaker 2: requires like two thirds ratification from both houses or the
Speaker 2: states would have to call for a convention.
Speaker 1: That's not happening. So what then?
Speaker 2: Senator Mike Lee from Utah is floating this argument that
Speaker 2: I've also seen in The Federalist that I think reveals
Speaker 2: like sort of rhetorically what they're trying to do. The
Speaker 2: first sentence, this is just the first sentence of the
Speaker 2: Fourteenth Amendment states, all persons born or naturalized in the
Speaker 2: United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens
Speaker 2: of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.
Speaker 2: He believes this mean that Congress has the power to
Speaker 2: define who a citizen is, and that is patently false.
Speaker 2: From all the legal opinions I've read, they're like, this
Speaker 2: is the most bad faith read of an amendment like
Speaker 2: I've ever seen. There was no one was thinking that
Speaker 2: was something up to Congress to decide. We were amending
Speaker 2: our constitution because of the fucking Civil War and that
Speaker 2: was just fought over slavery and who gets rights as
Speaker 2: a citizen. And that's where we're just saying, Yo, you're
Speaker 2: born here, you're naturalizer, you're an American.
Speaker 1: End of story.
Speaker 2: So now Lee is trying to make it seem as
Speaker 2: if this is ambiguous when it isn't. And this tactic
Speaker 2: seems to be working because now you see this take
Speaker 2: being parroted all over the internet and conservative media about
Speaker 2: being like, well, I don't know, I mean, like, what
Speaker 2: was the intent of the fourteenth Amendment And maybe we
Speaker 2: do really need to re examine this, And so I
Speaker 2: guess if they can't actually change the Constitution, the best
Speaker 2: way is to just now get people to think that
Speaker 2: our definition of a citizen is nebulous open to interpretation,
Speaker 2: to again open the flood gates of which is.
Speaker 5: Also so funny that it's like, let's pick and choose
Speaker 5: which amendment is up for like interpretation and debate of
Speaker 5: like and definition.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all that stuff they edited after the Civil War
Speaker 1: for some reason, like they're not a big fan of No,
Speaker 1: I don't get it. No, what is I don't even
Speaker 1: just like, as a person with basic understanding of the logic,
Speaker 1: I don't understand what is it? Like the or is
Speaker 1: that what they're taking, like the person.
Speaker 2: It's an or naturalized in the United States, A lot
Speaker 2: of people are taking the jurisdiction thereof and subject to
Speaker 2: the jurisdiction thereof.
Speaker 1: Exactly.
Speaker 2: That was the thing they're pointing to, that line. But
Speaker 2: then other people point out it's like, well then if
Speaker 2: they aren't, then people that are born here aren't subject
Speaker 2: to the laws of the United States, Like what are.
Speaker 1: Are they just allowed to start people?
Speaker 2: It's just it's it's just about chipping away at like
Speaker 2: our understandings, our understanding of citizenship in the country that
Speaker 2: has been the same.
Speaker 1: For over one hundred years now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so like this is just again, it's just it's like,
Speaker 2: this is I'm saying the first steps to begin to
Speaker 2: see this kind of stuff, like well, we don't actually know,
Speaker 2: like we need to maybe actually define what a citizen is,
Speaker 2: even though it's already defined in the constitution. That is
Speaker 2: sort of the entry point to then be like, oh,
Speaker 2: well then if these people aren't citizens, then they need
Speaker 2: to be deported. And we can't really argue with that
Speaker 2: because we've all decided right what a citizen is, uh,
Speaker 2: and that doesn't meet that definition. And again, like the
Speaker 2: goal to make people think mass deportations is palatable was
Speaker 2: can also be seen in when Trump's lawyer Alena Haba,
Speaker 2: she was on Fox and she was essentially saying, like,
Speaker 2: deportations won't be bad since they're not going to separate families.
Speaker 1: They'll they'll they'll deport entire families together, see, but make
Speaker 1: a fun family trip. No.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like that's the spin, Like they're like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: we're not going to separate families.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? We're not monsters. Just everyone goes right,
Speaker 1: and they don't.
Speaker 5: Have to be separated uproot them from their entire life.
Speaker 1: Too, right, It's really fucking grim.
Speaker 2: And then you have Elon Musk who, like again also
Speaker 2: pointing out Trump's paternal grandparents were immigrants from Germany, so
Speaker 2: you're his own daddy again whatever benefit from that. His
Speaker 2: mother is also an immigrant, but whatever, it doesn't fucking matter.
Speaker 2: And if you do this, like if you chase this definition,
Speaker 2: like what does that mean for almost like a gigantic
Speaker 2: chunk of the United States where people who are not
Speaker 2: here were like on the Mayflower, what are you?
Speaker 1: What are you even? What are we? What are we
Speaker 1: saying here? There are only twenty eighth full citizens of
Speaker 1: the United States. These are their names. Everybody else Get
Speaker 1: the fuck out? Everyone, get out?
Speaker 2: Oh who's unless you're right, which unless you're a billionaire,
Speaker 2: in which case, give give me a billion dollars and
Speaker 2: there will be no regulations to do it.
Speaker 1: It is like the way you frame that it is true.
Speaker 1: It feels like just they introduce these small bits of
Speaker 1: like bullshit it to our diet to like get our
Speaker 1: collective immune system to bullshit like acclimated to that specific argument,
Speaker 1: and then it's just we're like oh yeah, we've heard
Speaker 1: that before. And so it's just.
Speaker 2: Because yeah, because the way the ad the listeners the
Speaker 2: viewers of these takes are taking it or go, that's right,
Speaker 2: it's because all these anchor babies. We do need to
Speaker 2: change it because this creates a loophole for all this
Speaker 2: other stuff. And that's how they get the sort of
Speaker 2: thought process going without actually understanding, like what is the constitution.
Speaker 2: They're just like, right that, I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2: That guy says it, it doesn't mean what it means. Therefore,
Speaker 2: get the other people out of here. Okay, I've I've
Speaker 2: figured it out. Then Elon's stupid ash tweet about the unhoused,
Speaker 2: so he quote tweeted some fucking loser who was like
Speaker 2: making the case that essentially like helping unhouse people is
Speaker 2: ultimately futile, and Elon's tweet was on the quote was quote.
Speaker 2: In most cases, the word homeless is a lie. It's
Speaker 2: usually a propaganda word for violent drug addicts with severe
Speaker 2: mental illness.
Speaker 1: So we should just like fund a lot of like
Speaker 1: mental health resources and treatment resources. That's that's amazing. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: that's not what I meant. It's a lie. And it's
Speaker 1: a propaganda word.
Speaker 2: So what I'm what, I'm trying to imply that these
Speaker 2: people need no support because they are unworthy due to
Speaker 2: their mental illness and addiction issue.
Speaker 1: What do they think you do with them? You put them?
Speaker 1: They just want to kill them.
Speaker 2: Well, one version is, you know, people are trying to
Speaker 2: like solutions that are cheaper than prison for people who
Speaker 2: quote refuse to to get better, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: and completely completely missing the part of like a lack
Speaker 2: of agency you experience when you're in the midst of
Speaker 2: these kinds of crises, like completely and again, the flattening
Speaker 2: of the unhoused population into some group of hopeless people
Speaker 2: who deserve imprisonment is a dehumanizing tactic. So this is
Speaker 2: another part again where it's just like I don't know,
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that, I'm just saying, I'm just saying
Speaker 2: to sort of let the larger goal take hold that
Speaker 2: we're we have groups of non human people who need
Speaker 2: no empathy.
Speaker 1: So yeah, like it's it.
Speaker 2: I guess it just meant they're all meant to dull
Speaker 2: our senses and like basically, you know, keep us from
Speaker 2: being able to support ideas that aren't just about discarding people,
Speaker 2: you know, because that's truly I feel like that's that's
Speaker 2: the ethos yea for the really for for a long
Speaker 2: time in America, but especially now, like they're just gonna
Speaker 2: go all in on it without even giving a fuck.
Speaker 1: What if we just like take them to the place
Speaker 1: where like all our garbage goes and like our pollution goes,
Speaker 1: like I'm assuming that's out of outer space or something,
Speaker 1: and then it like just never comes back and hurt
Speaker 1: hurts anybody. Yeah, yeah, yeah, or.
Speaker 2: The you know, the encampments that the Trump is time
Speaker 2: camps that we're talking about like camp. Oh yeah, this
Speaker 2: is a little bit of a different run where like
Speaker 2: militia members.
Speaker 1: I don't know, we might outsource some ship to militia members.
Speaker 1: On paper, we're saying we're not, but you know, militia
Speaker 1: like gets a bad rap, but it's like military, but
Speaker 1: it like has a such sound.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, yeah, we call it militia, militia, militia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds so much better. Yeah, it's my it's
Speaker 1: my militant aunt.
Speaker 5: I mean yeah, I'm like it sounds like we're getting
Speaker 5: a certain demographic to be interested.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: So anyway I think these are This is like they're
Speaker 2: they're always going to be trying to again divide American people,
Speaker 2: and yeah, truly push this rhetoric even more and more
Speaker 2: and more that people are wholly undeserving of any kind
Speaker 2: of support anything because their entire ethos is based on
Speaker 2: enriching the wealthy, and that that's at the expense of
Speaker 2: vulnerable people and just anyone who's not already a fucking
Speaker 2: wealthy billionaire.
Speaker 1: You're all right, let's take a quick break and then
Speaker 1: we'll come back and figure out why aliens are so
Speaker 1: interested in New Jersey. We'll be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 1: We're back, and we're back. And there's a bit of
Speaker 1: a mystery happening in New Jersey. Miles. You mentioned it
Speaker 1: briefly last week, but since back in November, residents of
Speaker 1: New Jersey have been plagued by sightings of mysterious drones
Speaker 1: which have supposedly been quote spotted above critical infrastructure and
Speaker 1: are in some cases as big as SUVs according to
Speaker 1: eyewitness testimony. So the FBI says they're looking into it.
Speaker 1: Presumably it's just two and probably hot FBI agents working
Speaker 1: out of a basement throwing files on each other's desks.
Speaker 1: You ever heard of drone flash? God? When will those
Speaker 1: two get back together? You know who Molder and Scully?
Speaker 1: Molder and Scully. Hey, yeah, so, but yeah, it just
Speaker 1: seems like it's getting it's picking up steam. The locals
Speaker 1: are going full War of the Worlds And yeah, there
Speaker 1: was like a radio broadcast. Residents are like doing a
Speaker 1: lot of like I don't know, there's just a lot
Speaker 1: of sightings going around of massive unidentified drones flying around
Speaker 1: the state. So it's always they keep repeating, like the
Speaker 1: size of these drones are unprecedented. Yeah, people don't know
Speaker 1: how big things in the sky are. Like people, nobody
Speaker 1: is good at judging that. Nobody's good at gauging how
Speaker 1: big something in the sky is. Like that. It's actually
Speaker 1: one of the reasons that I think the aliens are possible,
Speaker 1: that they could be here and we just don't know it,
Speaker 1: because like the sky is massive, and the only things
Speaker 1: that you see in the sky, like when you see
Speaker 1: a seven forty seven up close, it's fucking huge. It's
Speaker 1: the size of like a city. It's oh wow, well
Speaker 1: it takes a lot. I seen bigger. You've seen bigger
Speaker 1: seven forty seven than the seven forty seven that we're
Speaker 1: talking about. Yeah, my favorite detail of these stories like
Speaker 1: this just feels like pure urban legend, but it does
Speaker 1: also feel like it could be in a Spielberg movie.
Speaker 1: One family was following a drone in their car, trying
Speaker 1: to chase it down, and said that as the drone
Speaker 1: hovered above them, their cars clock changed time and then
Speaker 1: only returned to normal time as they drove off. That's
Speaker 1: the dumbest fucking lie to tell. I love that. Oh dude,
Speaker 1: it changed time to just like to the following minute.
Speaker 1: Was it Daylight Savings weekend? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean it was around like one am I feel like,
Speaker 2: on that Saturday night, and then it like went ahead,
Speaker 2: it went back. I don't know, man, I think it
Speaker 2: was the fucking mystery drones. But okay, I mean that
Speaker 2: feels like an X Files ish detail.
Speaker 1: Never to waste a good panic. One GOP lawmaker claims
Speaker 1: that the drones were launched from a nearby Iranian mothership
Speaker 1: just off the east coast, which are Panic, which like
Speaker 1: somebody actually asked about in a Pentagon briefing. So the
Speaker 1: Pentagon was like, are you aware of or journalists were
Speaker 1: like are you aware of this? And they're like, yep,
Speaker 1: we're aware of it. It's not ours. We don't think
Speaker 1: it's a foreign power. And they were like, well, this
Speaker 1: guy said it's Iranian, and like the spokesperson for the
Speaker 1: Pentagon was just like, no, there is not an Iranian
Speaker 1: mothership launching drones. And they're like, yo, we would be fun.
Speaker 2: We would all get fired if an Iranian mothership was
Speaker 2: off the east coast of the United States.
Speaker 4: Any idea of how badly we want that to be true,
Speaker 4: any idea what that would do for our budgets, Like,
Speaker 4: we would be so fucking psyched if they did that.
Speaker 2: That Lindsay Graham who brought that up, It's like, Senator Graham,
Speaker 2: is that you Nope, Nope, I'm just saying, was it
Speaker 2: an Iranian mothership?
Speaker 1: Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go? I think guy just
Speaker 1: throw a smoke bomb on the ground, Uh and then
Speaker 1: drive away in one of those little children's Barbie cars,
Speaker 1: you know, smokebomb. So that that person is on the
Speaker 1: Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. Uh said he's heard from high
Speaker 1: sources that Iran is controlling the mysterious objects, which I
Speaker 1: hear from high a high source every day on this show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, I'm right here, bro, thank
Speaker 2: you for taking me seriously.
Speaker 1: You know, that's some crazy evidence about how the color
Speaker 1: purple I see might not be the same color purple
Speaker 1: you see if you think of that. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: don't know, Like this, just have you guys seen a
Speaker 1: drone display, like a like a bunch of drones like
Speaker 1: working together. Like I saw one at a ski like mountain,
Speaker 1: Like we were in Big Bear for New Year's Eve
Speaker 1: and they were like, hey, instead of doing fireworks this year,
Speaker 1: we did the forest down. Yeah, and they did drones
Speaker 1: and the drones were cool as shit. And I was like,
Speaker 1: I can't believe one, you know, I can't believe a
Speaker 1: fucking ski mountain is able to afford whatever this is.
Speaker 1: But like I don't. I just think that, like, drones
Speaker 1: are very impressive now, and like they can do more
Speaker 1: than maybe the average person in New Jersey realizes at
Speaker 1: this st because they can. Even then there's like massive
Speaker 1: numbers of them. They might it must be a coordinated
Speaker 1: thing between many different people, and it's like I don't
Speaker 1: think that's right. It could be like three Yeah, it
Speaker 1: could also be.
Speaker 2: Like three dipshits with drones, like flying them a bunch
Speaker 2: every night to fuck with people and to keep the
Speaker 2: momentum going. Oh yeah, I've seen.
Speaker 1: Other ones where they're like, look at this picture from
Speaker 1: underneath and someone just overlaid it with like a commercial
Speaker 1: jet and they're like, this is the exact same spread
Speaker 1: of lights on this jet.
Speaker 2: Then this fucking quote unquote alien drone you're talking about,
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, well, I don't know, it looked a
Speaker 2: way bigger, couldn't have been a jet. So I think
Speaker 2: there's like a lot of people's confirmation bias is set
Speaker 2: to I think, you know, yes, they're like the truth
Speaker 2: is fucking out there full and it's in New.
Speaker 1: Jersey as people as somebody who wants to believe I
Speaker 1: do have to be discerning about, you know, how we
Speaker 1: evaluate these various things that could be mysterious. And I
Speaker 1: have no doubt like there's definitely like people having weird experiences.
Speaker 1: And I think when you're primed by the local news
Speaker 1: to be like there's drones out there and you're just
Speaker 1: constantly paying attention to the sky in a way that
Speaker 1: you weren't before, you're gonna see cool shit. I bet
Speaker 1: you're right that, especially now that there's a local news
Speaker 1: like a flap of local news stories about it. Like
Speaker 1: remember that the crop circles that like everybody was like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck is going on with crop circles? Was
Speaker 1: like a few guys who were just doing it for
Speaker 1: like to fuck with people.
Speaker 8: I would love it if it's the same guys and
Speaker 8: we back it is that and the dude who wore
Speaker 8: the like three toed dinosaur shoes he used to walk
Speaker 8: on the shore to throw people off.
Speaker 2: Like, Yo, what the fuck lefty's footprints? It's like it's
Speaker 2: a guy with fucking shoes to fuck with you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's just so easy for people to fuck
Speaker 1: with people. And also like yeah, so they they actually
Speaker 1: interviewed a drone, like the most reliable sources of course,
Speaker 1: one of the experts at Drone Life come and he
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know, it looks like that one's
Speaker 1: an airplane, that one's a cell phone tower, and that
Speaker 1: one is just a regular commercial drone, likely being operated legally.
Speaker 1: Like anybody who's familiar with like what drones can do
Speaker 1: is just like, yeah, man, like these are actually just
Speaker 1: either the large ones are like actual aircraft, which are
Speaker 1: again much bigger than people realize, usually when they get
Speaker 1: close to the ground, or they're drones, the kind of
Speaker 1: drones that we're familiar with. You know, I don't know, man.
Speaker 2: I live in the flight path a newer airport and
Speaker 2: I see a lot of drones every night.
Speaker 1: Man has got nothing to do with living in a
Speaker 1: flight path.
Speaker 2: Also, I also like that people like this person's like
Speaker 2: that looks like a cell tower.
Speaker 1: Is that?
Speaker 2: I wonder if you are posed to like, look at
Speaker 2: this light. It just floating fist all night.
Speaker 1: It doesn't move at all, move at all. It's just
Speaker 1: sitting there looking at us, blinking. There's also a problem
Speaker 1: with the motive of like, so all the people who
Speaker 1: are like it's either an alien or it's Iran and
Speaker 1: they're spying on us because they're being sighted near Trump's
Speaker 1: golf course right where all the high security ship is
Speaker 1: going down. Like, Trump doesn't just tell fucking everyone anything
Speaker 1: they want to know if he thinks it's going to
Speaker 1: make him sound cool. But one of the problems with
Speaker 1: that is, first of all, drones like aren't great at
Speaker 1: spying in the dark. And second of all, were you
Speaker 1: to try to spy on something at nighttime, you probably
Speaker 1: wouldn't have lights on the drone that to be.
Speaker 2: Like I hear that was the thing that that put
Speaker 2: me off because I'm like, aliens are fucking with like
Speaker 2: red and green lights on their space right like a
Speaker 2: like a fucking police.
Speaker 1: Chopper or some shit.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, all right, if these are aliens, bro,
Speaker 2: like they're they're their swag is fucking bottom of the barrel.
Speaker 1: Like, I'm sorry, this should look real, norm quarte, we do,
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, always need to have a little red
Speaker 1: and green light on our alien like it's a smoke
Speaker 1: detector that's running out of battery. Sorry, guys, that's just
Speaker 1: where we're at technologically over here.
Speaker 2: What's your what's your feeling on the drones or the
Speaker 2: aliens and ship? Like are you have you seen this story?
Speaker 1: And like I seem like a little bit of it.
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm of the camp of like it's
Speaker 5: probably just drones and the whole thing of like, yeah,
Speaker 5: people are gonna notice more when there's already stories. I mean,
Speaker 5: I would like to believe that aliens exist, and I
Speaker 5: would like that to be possibility.
Speaker 2: You know what, I think our standards are just too Look,
Speaker 2: we all want to believe and look, there's some low
Speaker 2: hanging fruit. Guys, we can just go right there right now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: Who knows.
Speaker 5: But like I'm also kind of like, how do they
Speaker 5: know that? Like it's totally fine. They're just like, we're
Speaker 5: just trying to blend in with your habitat and just
Speaker 5: be reading green and now we're just.
Speaker 1: Like, no, but you're not blending. I sent you a
Speaker 1: Christmas light display and you guys freaked the fuck out. Sorry,
Speaker 1: did the.
Speaker 2: Colors and every other don't seem chill at all? We're
Speaker 2: throwing rocks at our Christmas parade.
Speaker 1: Yes, we were.
Speaker 5: Trying to be like, hello, humans, we come trying to
Speaker 5: get to.
Speaker 1: Your love, red and green. Like time, here's some red
Speaker 1: and green light, red, white and green. Wait a second,
Speaker 1: what are the colors of the I'm talking to Italy man,
Speaker 1: I'm talking Mangoni where you do a lot of the
Speaker 1: Italian Americans live New Jersey. They're sending messages to each other.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yea, and I feel like it's just the rest
Speaker 5: of time is friend.
Speaker 1: Yes, By the way, the that's what the drums are
Speaker 1: doing above us. By the way, the Pentagon denial being
Speaker 1: like that, No, there's not a mother ship is being
Speaker 1: called idiotic on Fox News. Flat denial of the story idiotic.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I get you did it with WMDs
Speaker 2: and yellow Cake, but don't kick a war off with
Speaker 2: some ship, like these drones are from Iran and we
Speaker 2: need to fucking it's time to go to the fucking mattresses.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no, no no. The yellow Cake was
Speaker 1: not any any more. They're one picture. It kind of
Speaker 1: looks like, right, yeah, oh god. Well.
Speaker 2: The other thing though, too, is like the FBI was like,
Speaker 2: we honestly don't know what's going on. I'm like, dude,
Speaker 2: can you just find the people who are using the
Speaker 2: drones and put an end to this, rather than being like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, we don't know how to figure this out.
Speaker 1: Because I feel that's also feeding this shit too.
Speaker 2: It's like the lack of clarity from when you get
Speaker 2: like the FEDS or whatever talking like they're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're not really sure what's going on, but people taking dude,
Speaker 2: they're not even sure what's going on.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, I feel like they just haven't looked into
Speaker 5: it very much and they're like, you just don't know.
Speaker 5: We're never going to look at that and right, yeah, but.
Speaker 1: Or it's yeah, an epic failure.
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, ship, bro I think I don't know
Speaker 2: if those are drones brock.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wonder if it's like this is this sounds dumb,
Speaker 5: but like does the FBI have interns and stuff like
Speaker 5: is it like the intern team that's on this case
Speaker 5: and they're like, we're still figuring out this is this
Speaker 5: is our case study?
Speaker 1: Yeah, get better. It would be very easy for them
Speaker 1: to be like, hey, we have drones that everybody can use.
Speaker 1: You could go outside right now, order these drones on Amazon,
Speaker 1: you know, like it would just be so simple to
Speaker 1: make up points. Yeah, and then but oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's exactly it. That's the one. Who's the one? You
Speaker 1: just fucking you look you're holding the controller. What the fuck?
Speaker 1: Where did this come from? Fuck? It made me do
Speaker 1: with aliens?
Speaker 2: Well, ah god, I really wanted it. I really wanted
Speaker 2: something to come up. S u V sized drones jack.
Speaker 1: Imagine, God damn do you see the one where they
Speaker 1: like had a drone thing that was like an had
Speaker 1: like an inflatable person on it and it looked like
Speaker 1: they were like flying on a jet pack with a
Speaker 1: jet pack. There's you can really fool people with these. Yah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people do that all the time. There was like that.
Speaker 1: I remember one movie was doing that for their promo.
Speaker 2: Remember that movie that was kind of like a home
Speaker 2: video style shot thing where those teenagers get superpowers.
Speaker 1: Chronicle Chronicle. Yeah, remember that.
Speaker 2: And like for part of the viral marketing they were
Speaker 2: they were attaching like human like figures on drones that
Speaker 2: were just like around in the air.
Speaker 1: Like there's motherfuckers flying and they're like it's for the
Speaker 1: movie Chronicle freaking out over here, man. Yeah. Like I
Speaker 1: don't know, when I was down the shore over the summer,
Speaker 1: like we were on the boards, me and my boys,
Speaker 1: and there was somebody fucking around with a drone and
Speaker 1: it is like it's captivating and like it's cool, and
Speaker 1: you're you know, everybody's like, whoa, there's a drone over there,
Speaker 1: and like it's doing doing stuff and who's doing you know,
Speaker 1: you like want to find who's doing it and stuff.
Speaker 1: So I just think we're probably at a point where
Speaker 1: we're not used to the fact that these are pretty
Speaker 1: accessible technology, you know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, and then you add the dark, and dark
Speaker 5: just makes everything mysterious and they're like I can't see
Speaker 5: the person controlling it.
Speaker 1: What I found the guy and he was like here
Speaker 1: and like brought the drone over and took a picture
Speaker 1: of my kids with it and then like sent it
Speaker 1: to me on my mobile phone. And that guy, your
Speaker 1: mobile phone, you're talking like an alien. Jack on my
Speaker 1: mobile Yeah, on my mobile phone, my mobile phone. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think it's you Jack.
Speaker 5: You're in New Jersey.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, that is just yeah, this was in New
Speaker 1: Jersey and maybe this is what tip maybe stories the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks intersect with Jack's movements. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying it's all It's all happening to me, not
Speaker 1: to anybody else. The do you guys ever read like
Speaker 1: Weird New Jersey and like some of the stuff, like
Speaker 1: I found out about it through Chris Gethard, but like
Speaker 1: there's like, oh, I think he used to write for
Speaker 1: this website Weird New Jersey, but that just collects like
Speaker 1: New Jersey urban legends, and it like New Jersey has
Speaker 1: a long proud history of like really detailed and intriguing
Speaker 1: urban legends. So like this is also know who you're
Speaker 1: dealing with. They have a good imagination and I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure the War of the World's thing was New Jersey.
Speaker 1: Like the freak out that happened was in New Jersey.
Speaker 1: So the radio play, yeah, the radio play was like
Speaker 1: one of the freak outs was fear spread across New Jersey.
Speaker 1: That was the story in a phenomenal and a phenomenon
Speaker 1: reminiscent of the War of the World's radio broadcast that
Speaker 1: once spread fear across New Jersey. Okay, this is a
Speaker 1: lot of freaking each other out, just being like, oh man,
Speaker 1: but could you imagine to start thing man in the
