16
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: it sounds like a lot of me figuring things out. Yeah,

17
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,559
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna pressure you with that. Someone will figure

18
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: it out. Eventually, it'll happen them up. I'm not Yeah,

Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not gonna do And it is a

20
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: long weekend. We're heading into President's Day. We are going

21
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: to take that opportunity to rest too. Trends, even though

Speaker 1: we are wicked, we are going to trends. So we're

23
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: back on Tuesday. So don't hit any of our producers

24
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: up being like, the episode is not up. The episode

25
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: which we recorded today. So if anything happens over the

26
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: long weekend, we apologize. The episode will not cover that.

27
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: It's kind of a silly one. We'll drop on Tuesday

28
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: and then we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming. Also,

29
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: don't don't be mad at me or Jack if I

30
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: edited the show wrong and left in the part where

31
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: he said the date wrong, that that might have he

32
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: he gracefully did have done at Uh. You know, we're

33
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: all human over here. We're trying. We're all human. And

34
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: I read whatever is in the prompter. People, there was

35
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: a point as an exclamation point in the prompter. That's

36
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: why I just shouted that part. A lot of typos

37
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: in there. Um. Anyways, justin let's tell the people what

38
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: is trending, shall we? Um? John Fetterman is trending. Uh.

39
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: He's checked himself in for treatment for depression. UM. And

40
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 1: this is new and groundbreaking because he was honest about that.

41
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: It was just like, yeah, I'm suffering from depression. I'm

42
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: going to check myself in for treatment. And I think,

43
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, there are a lot of people saying the

44
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: right things and commending him for his honesty and pointing

45
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: out that he is by no means the first UH

46
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: politician to do this, just the first politician at this

47
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: level to be open about it. But the conservative takes

48
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: are pretty ugly. Yeah, it truly stopped me in my

49
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: tracks when I got the news alert about that. I

50
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: was his staff came out and said he's being hospital

51
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: ask for depression. I I was. I was like that.

52
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: My second thought was has this ever happened before? That's

53
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: really truly groundbreaking. So he continues to you know, be

54
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: pretty groundbreaking and transparency and honesty while dealing with very

55
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: difficult things. So shout out to him. Hopefully he gets

56
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: better soon, his family gets through this, and you know,

57
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: the mainstream and conservative media don't completely turn this into

58
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: the cancer that I'm sure they are already fully churning away,

59
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: turning it into the takeout had a list of the

60
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: best foods to order take out UH, which I don't know.

61
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: I have my opinions on this. I think I think

62
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: this changed with the advent in my household of the

63
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: air fryer. Getting an air fryer really changed French fries

64
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: from being a no go unless I'm eating them in

65
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: the car after Um, they've been shoveled into into my

66
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: uh through my driver's side window. Absolutely, I mean, yeah,

67
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: me me too. It's I have been blessed with an

68
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: air fryer. It has definitely changed my life. But I'm

69
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: also lucky enough to be an essentially located area. I

70
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: don't want to give the the name of the chain away, um,

71
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: but uh, there was a chain that's like maybe three

72
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: feet three feet away from my front door, and it's

73
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: really good. So when I order from there, the fries

74
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: come hot, and that's the only place I order fries from.

75
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: But this is the first time I've been lucky enough

76
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: to be that close to a restaurant that I actually like.

77
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: But unless you have that, you gotta get yourself an

78
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: air fryer. It's really changes everything. So they're putting burgers

79
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: in sandwiches at Number one, which I don't like. I'm

80
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: not sure I guess what they mean by take out right.

81
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: This is Nation's Restaurant News reporting that they did a

82
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: survey like, yeah, I drive through where you're eating it

83
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: very soon after, but take out where you were taking

84
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: it home and eating it maybe fifteen minutes after you

85
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: get home, after you like get the kids down at

86
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: the table, get table set. Like the burger sandwich. Um,

87
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: have you ever tried a Hamburger sandwich before the Hamburger sandwich?

88
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: Have you seen? Have you seen these things? They're all

89
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: the ridge with the kids. I mean, I've definitely been

90
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: poor enough to like not want to get the expensive

91
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: like burger buns and have been like, you know what,

92
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna use some wonderbread and you know, I

93
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: don't know does that count as a sandwich? I like

94
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: a wonder bread burger when it just gets thrilled, just

95
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: stuck to the top of the roof in mouth. Yeah,

96
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: it's like it's already doing the thing that happens when

97
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: it gets stuck to the roof of your mouth even

98
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: before you put it in your mouth, because it's like

99
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: the burger so wet and and see that's the with

100
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: take out though, depending on where you get it from,

101
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: especially in sandwich form, if you're getting like again, I

102
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: think we covered this on the pod the other day.

103
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: But you know, sandwich is having you know, sometimes you

104
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: want that crisp vegetable Like I'm a person who I

105
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: don't like any it's controversial, take I don't like cooked

106
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: or roasted vegetables like necessary. I like that for the

107
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: most part. I I yeah, period, point blank. For the

108
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: most part. I really like the friend. If I'm going

109
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: to eat a vegetable that kind of like, you know,

110
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: I want there to be a little bit of like

111
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: crispness and freshness, and I want it to be cold. Um.

112
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: I like the separation of textures and temperatures in a sandwich. Um.

113
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: I don't want it to be moist and heated. I

114
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: don't even like it, you know, um when it comes

115
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: out the oven, Like I know, many people find that delicious.

116
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: If I'm gonna get carrots or whatever, they gotta be

117
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: like raw, I'm I love it raw. I'm sorry, it's delicious.

118
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: Maybe I like it wrong. So you might be more

119
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: of a fan of the number two, which they have

120
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: a Deli subs That makes sense to me. That makes

121
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: more sense to me than the burger sandwiches, burgers and

122
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: sandwiches they're not required to be hot. The temperature is

123
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: not as important. And burgers also, I think the thing

124
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: we were discussing recently, they are not saved by the

125
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: air fryer. No, not really. But I can make do

126
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: like sometimes I will. I will chef it. I'll put

127
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: in maybe a little more effort than you might even

128
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: want to with reheating, like fast food, taking it apart. Yes, yes,

129
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: I will take it apart, and I will break out

130
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: like you know, a little pan. I'll put a little

131
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: olive oil in there. Um, I'll heat up the burger

132
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 1: separately from the bun. Yeah, there's a whole process there,

133
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: and it can kind of revive it. I gotta say

134
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't. It will never bring it back, you know,

135
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: to the original form. But it's it gets the job done. Yeah,

136
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know this. This list is just

137
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: a little bit bra for me. And it doesn't seem

138
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: like they're saying burgers and sandwiches are the best. It

139
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: seems like there's a bunch of commentary on these things.

140
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: But these are the categories that they ran. Donuts they've

141
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: got in there. Crispy Kreme, I think, is specifically mentioned,

142
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: and it is a food that will like that, there

143
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: are Krispy Kreme donuts in existence right now that will

144
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: still be delicious after I'm dead. You know that is true.

145
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: That's a hunt. But have you ever been to like

146
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: someplace in the South where they where the Crispy Kreme

147
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: donuts come right off the conveyor belt and and they're

148
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: so warm and hot like best. Yeah, they're super good.

149
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: They're still gonna be good later, but um, I don't

150
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: know if they travel as well as if you're like

151
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: in the restaurant and getting it right off the conveyor

152
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: but you know it's it's good, but for me, it

153
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: kind of you know, it's gonna have a steep drop

154
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: off and then it maintains, you know, somewhat delicious this

155
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: but that peak, I gotta be inside the store for that,

156
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: I think. If I'm if I'm trying to get what

157
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: I'm really looking for, I think I gotta be in

158
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: the store for that. Um. And then they have pizza,

159
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: which I don't know if you know about this, but

160
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: you can have pizza delivered. You can get pizza take out.

161
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: You don't have to eat in a pizza parlor. Uh,

162
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: So that's cool. Maybe give that a try sometime maybe

163
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Jury has been decided on this industry

164
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: article that they were just like I don't know, man,

165
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: slow news day, but someone had to get their quota

166
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: and this was it. Pizza's great for the air fryer.

167
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: Fries are great for the air fryer. Um. Yeah. Anyways, Uh,

168
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll come back and talk

169
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: about some other stuff. And we're back. And there's a

170
00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: new story in Alabama where uh Anthony Mitchell was incarcerated

171
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: for fourteen days in Walker County Jail under hellish conditions

172
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: and died of hypothermia on the twenty six of January,

173
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: according to a lawsuit filed by his mom, and the

174
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: FBI is taking part in the investigation. But it would

175
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: appear that they put this human being suffering a mental

176
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: health crisis in a walk in freezer and he frus

177
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: to death. Yeah, I mean all over. Of course, what

178
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: do you think welfare check like, I mean, he fired

179
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: a gun while welfare check was being performed. And does

180
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: that mean a death sentence in this country? Yes, I

181
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: mean it's it's one of those things where it wasn't

182
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: it would be almost at this point merciful to give

183
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: someone a death sentence. They tortured this man for hours,

184
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: for so long, and it's appalling because they at their

185
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: core they be you know, the authority is whatever that means.

186
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: They know how wrong these acts are. Because again, one

187
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: of their own tried to report it. She was not

188
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: There was a security officer who was there who had

189
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: heard rumors of this happening, and she searched through the

190
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: security tapes and found what they had done to this man.

191
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: Her name was Karen Kelly. She was fired for trying

192
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: to say hey, for reporting it, for saying, hey, this

193
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: is a human being. Um. They tried to cover this up,

194
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: and so they know how wrong this is and they

195
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: still let it happen time and time again, which is

196
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: why it's so hard to see people being like, hey,

197
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: that ship is disgusting and shaken me. That's why I

198
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: want to be a part of this, to change this

199
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: from the inside. And then you have people like a

200
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: Karen Kelly who are like, hey, this is not right.

201
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna report this, and they're like, no, we're not

202
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: changing anything. This is exactly what it was designed to be.

203
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: And it's it breaks your heart. It is really heartbreaking.

204
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: These are crimes against humanity that are just happening. This

205
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: is and this is what the system is designed to do,

206
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: and the investigation will treat it as you know that

207
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: this is a few bad apples, but it seems like

208
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: it keeps happening. This is again, this is not the

209
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: same story that we were talking about last week the

210
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: Harris County Jail in Houston, where many people were dying

211
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: over the course of like fourteen months. This is a

212
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: new one in Alabama, and it just the system is

213
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: broken and white supremacist and deadly, and yeah, I don't know,

214
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: that's why it's very Uh it's infuriating, Yeah, because I

215
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: mean it's not even just the people who you would

216
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: think are again the authoritarians in this, you know, the

217
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 1: jailers in the correction officers and the wardens who kind

218
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: of participate in the violence and then let it happen.

219
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: But it's also unfortunately, the people not giving him medical treatment,

220
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: Like there's a whole system set up to be like, hey,

221
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: al right, clearly this person is going through some distress,

222
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: even though we don't have the conditions here to get

223
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: them the best medical treat like the world class medical

224
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: treatment we're gonna do what we can and do our bead.

225
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: They didn't even do what they could for this man,

226
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: and that is the part where you kind of lose

227
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: all hope in in the system in terms of like reform, Like,

228
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: there's no reforming that. I think We've gone as far

229
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: as we can in terms of, uh, where we go next.

230
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: It's just more I guess death. And then people will

231
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: be like, well, maybe we need to reform that. And

232
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: then it's like, well, that's a little too far from me,

233
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: and they just it. It's a never ending cycle. And

234
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: it goes back to the point that Biden made where

235
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: he said that we don't need to defund the police,

236
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: we need to fund them. Think about all the things

237
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: we rely on police for, we rely on them to

238
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: be psychiatrists, were and like so he he was making

239
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: the point that that is the system that we have

240
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: and we need to double down on it, instead of

241
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: making the point that this is a fucking mess that

242
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: started when Reagan closed all the you know, mental health

243
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: care facilities, and now the police do all of these

244
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: jobs that they aren't meant to do and are in

245
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: fact the worst fucking people to possibly put in in

246
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: charge of that yeah. I mean they they you know,

247
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: create a problem and try to sell the cure and

248
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: with terms of you know, we're not going to focus

249
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: on mental health. It's never a conversation on mental health.

250
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: It's never a conversation about care or compassion, because then

251
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: you look weak on crime and then you lose your

252
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: constituents who want you to be some kind of I

253
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: don't know, medieval ruler or something. But there are over

254
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: a million people in the prison system who have mental

255
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: health issues. We are already understaffed because we have the

256
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: most populous prison system in the world. How are you

257
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: going to tell me that just throwing more beatings at

258
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: people is going to help solve this issue. It's like

259
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: it's never going to work. We should as you made

260
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: before the you know, you made this case before saying that, like,

261
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: you know, we have the most funded police force in

262
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: the his security force whatever. In the history of the globe,

263
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: history of the world, no one has ever been this

264
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: funded to enact the laws of their society on on

265
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: the public. And we have every single year conservatives talking

266
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: about how crime is out of control. So you are

267
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: essentially telling me that you have been useless your entire career,

268
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: and yeah, I'm supposed to trust you with my safety.

269
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: What the fuck is that? Like who buys that ship?

270
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: And and unfortunately it's like half of America. It's it's

271
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: unbelievable to me. Yeah, yeah, I mean it creates a

272
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: atmosphere where things that feed into their white supremacists worldview

273
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: keep happening, right, because that that's what it's designed to do.

274
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: And it creates a cycle that is sort of self

275
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: fulfilling and yeah, self reinforcing. All right. Just a couple

276
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: like kind of update things. Uh, the balloon controversy piers

277
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: that we seem like we're getting a little clarity on this.

278
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: Um A hobbyist group says that they one of their

279
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: balloons that I think was like costs under a hundred

280
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: dollars or under a couple hundred dollars, uh, was in

281
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: the area of the Yukon when the U S. Melotk

282
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: Verry shot down a something that they didn't know what

283
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: it was and still haven't really identified. So like the

284
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: front page of Drudge is still like we don't know

285
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: what it is. There's like this this arms race happening

286
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: between In fact, the front page of the New York

287
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: Times like the top stories. As we're recording this, U

288
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: S and China by in hazy zone where balloons, UFOs

289
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: and missiles fly. Uh, and it's all about like American

290
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: officials are worried China is far along and developing military

291
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: technology that operates in the unregulated high altitude zone of

292
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: near space. And meanwhile it just seems like it's what

293
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: we said it was last week that it was basically

294
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: they widened after the you know, Chinese by balloon, they

295
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: widened the aperture to be like, well, anything we see

296
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: up there is now a threat, and they started seeing

297
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: more stuff has been there all along. Yeah, it's incredible,

298
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,239
Speaker 1: like you see the system kind of play out like

299
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: from the inception of a story, like and you see

300
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: it's like this is the new threat target and then

301
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: it's a new story every single day. And it kind

302
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: of I think reiterates the point of you know, you

303
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: can make anything public enemy number one from you know,

304
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: you have the powers at B and then you have

305
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: some sort of like nationalistic like jangoistic kind of implications

306
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: in there, and then you tied it together with like

307
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: a fascination of the unknown, and the media plays along.

308
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: Everyone plays along and it's says, I'm worried this is

309
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,719
Speaker 1: gonna get conflated with you know, America has a history

310
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: of other rising and you know, for lack of a

311
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: better like like alienating Asian populations and the whole thing

312
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: of like you know, the Chinese government and aliens and

313
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: then conflating it in like unknown foreigners and all this

314
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: stuff like coming together. It's it hasn't been fully like

315
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: put out there yet. But again we have also, I

316
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: guess over here on the liver real side expressed like

317
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: no fear over a fucking balloon, like like and and

318
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: it feels like you can turn any foreign object into

319
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: a source of terror if you're part of the conservative

320
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: media cycle. And now liberals kind of feed into that

321
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: as well. On the other side of just like, oh hey,

322
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: this gets us ratings, let's talk about this quote unquote

323
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: you left The New York Times is like making this

324
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: and and of course the New York Times is a

325
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: instrument of capitalism, is what we've kind of come to realize.

326
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: And this creates a need to spend more on weapons

327
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: and defense. The story if you're reading it the way

328
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 1: that they are, as like all of these things are

329
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: a threat as opposed to, man, do we have some

330
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: egg on our face? It turns out that was a

331
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: balloon sent up there by a hobbyist. Yeah, And I

332
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: don't think that will be talked about even when it is,

333
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: like when you find out, hey, you know, this was

334
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: a hobby New York Times isn't gonna run a story

335
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: about that. I don't give a funk. They already put

336
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: the narrative out there, but I don't know, man, this

337
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: is it's it's a bunch of nothing. And then there's

338
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: also just some so because the company that made the

339
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: voting machines that Fox News was like, you know, Dominion

340
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: might have been in cahoots with some foreign power and

341
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: trying to overthrow democracy. Fox News allowed that to be

342
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: said on their news channel. Uh. And and so they

343
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 1: got sued. And so now some papers and you know, uh,

344
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: text messages are coming out in the public, and they

345
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: reveal some things like the Tucker Carlson called Trump a

346
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: demonic force and a destroyer on the day of the

347
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: Capitol riot to his own producers like that, so this

348
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: is like what the people actually believe. They were also

349
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: like making fun of the people that were having on

350
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: their show, who are claiming like election fraud or like

351
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: who were you know, perpetrating the big lie. They were like,

352
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: these people are idiots behind the scenes, but then when

353
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: they got in front of the cameras, they were like, yeah,

354
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: we we agree with all of the ship. This gives

355
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: me hope that like at least like once a day,

356
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson and his ILK are like we fucked up.

357
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: Like they're just saying, like, yo, he chose wrong, Like

358
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: god damn, we're so stupid. And then like alright, guys,

359
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: you know they just put on that face, but they're

360
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: picking real bad. Yeah. I love this that he's gonna

361
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: like age at like five x the normal rate over

362
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: the next coming decade because he is experiencing so much

363
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: inner turmoil. I would love that version of events. I

364
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: don't think that that, I know, I was just saying.

365
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: I was just saying, this is a villain. He's gonna

366
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: stay around for a long time. He's gonna have great

367
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: skin for some reason. It's it's just, yeah, I think

368
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: because they all end up being Billy tayres Um, so
