Executive Disorder, our weekly 19 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 3: newscast covering what's happening in the White House, the crumbling 20 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 3: world what it means for you. I'm Garrison Davis this episode, 21 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 3: I'm joined by Na Wong and Robert Evans. Were covering 22 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 3: the week of August twenty first and August twenty seventh. 23 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, we sure are. 24 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 3: I can't believe cracker Barrel would do that. It's outrageous. 25 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's clearly the biggest news. 26 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 3: Thankfully they switched it back. They took the cracker out 27 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 3: of the barrel, and thankfully though they've. 28 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: Reversed course put the cracker back in. 29 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 3: I really don't understand how it's how it's woke. I mean, 30 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 3: I do understand, because I understand how this messaging works, but. 31 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter anytime anything happens, and they can see 32 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: a backlash forming you after the fact because people were 33 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 1: starting to get pissed off about the fucking cracker barrel 34 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: thing in the same way like that happen with fucking 35 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: Games Workshop earlier this year, Like they redid their logo 36 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: in a shitty way. It is the same like minimal bullshit. Yeah, 37 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: everyone's doing it. 38 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 3: It's it's not woke. Yeah, it's just incentivizing like capitalist conformity. 39 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 3: This is why they've changed all of the buildings of 40 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 3: like you know, McDonald's pizza Hut to the same structure, 41 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 3: so you can use the property and resell it over 42 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 3: and over and over again without having to do yes, 43 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 3: big renovations. It's just all about capitalist efficiency. It's not 44 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 3: about woke. 45 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: It's got nothing to do with woke. But there's people 46 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: whose whole like Chris Rufo, whose whole job is sitting 47 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: around and as soon as you started to see the 48 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: backlash forming it and realize like, oh, there's probably gonna 49 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: be a spree of these companies coming in with these 50 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: new minimalist logos. Because it's clearly a trend in like consultancies, 51 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: right like it started happening. This is not the first one. 52 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna look around until I see one 53 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: of these that feels like it's got culture war potential, 54 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: and Cracker Barrel is an obvious one, like if I'm looking, 55 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: if I was looking out there, that's when I would 56 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: pick right, Like. 57 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 3: I think they're also responding to, like, you know, the 58 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 3: past few years where we've been removing like racist caricatures 59 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 3: from logos right with like like Entemima's and like Lando 60 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 3: Lakes and using this in a similar way, except they 61 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 3: took quite kay leaning against the barrel. Yeah, so it's 62 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 3: part part part of that whole backlash as well. It's 63 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 3: funny though I have seen like I don't. I don't 64 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 3: know if it's from Chris Ruffo, but you know people 65 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 3: similar in that orbit talking about how this thing actually 66 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 3: is wokeism because minimalism is based on brutalism, which was 67 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 3: invented by communists. So actually turning everything into this minimalist 68 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 3: design is actually a plot from the Frankfurt School, the 69 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 3: Communists taking over. 70 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: I mean, look, it doesn't matter outside of the fact 71 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: that people whenever you buy into it, like you're you're 72 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: helping to feed like if you like, even dunking on. 73 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: That's part of like the problem is that like, yeah, 74 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: just talking about this shit at all fuels the feedback loop, right, 75 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: And that's that's what this is, is a feedback loop 76 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: that they're very good at manipulating for political purposes. And 77 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and lecture you and 78 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: say like stop commenting on this, stop talking about this stuff, 79 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: but we do need to understand that this is the 80 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: olds in the audience will remember the old Simpsons Halloween 81 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: episode where the different like mascots from different companies like 82 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: come alive and start murdering people in town. And the 83 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: solution that's an old ad Man gives everyone is like, well, 84 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: if you want to stop the monsters, just look away. 85 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: Advertising feeds on attention, you know, and as every once 86 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: everyone ignores the monsters, they go away. And unfortunately that's 87 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: not how things actually work because there's three hundred and 88 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: fifty million people in the country and so whatever you 89 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: choose to do about this isn't going to matter. But 90 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: the feedback loop is going to continue unabated. That much 91 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: I can. 92 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 3: Say cracker barrel has fallen and like Christ after three days, 93 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 3: has rose again. 94 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. Great. Anyway, speaking of memes, unfortunately we should talk 95 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: about this horrible mass shooting that is probably going to 96 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: be the big story this week. I mean, I hate 97 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: to reduce it to that, but yeah. 98 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 3: We're recording this on Wednesday, a few hours after the shooting. 99 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 3: This is in Minneapolis. 100 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: Yes, there was a mass shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school, 101 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: Annunciation Catholic School. This happened earlier the day that we're 102 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: recording this, So that's going to be Wednesday, August twenty seventh. 103 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: As of right now at about two eleven pm PST, 104 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: two children are dead, Seventeen people, mostly children, are wounded. 105 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: The shooter is also dead, and the shooter has been 106 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: identified as Robin Westman, who graduated from the school in 107 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. 108 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 3: Their mom also worked at the school until very recently. 109 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's not at all an unusual kind of situation. 110 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: Mass shooters at schools often are either attending the school 111 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: or recently graduated. There's been a couple of cases where 112 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: a family member worked at the school. Like this stuff 113 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: is all pretty standard for somebody shooting up a school. 114 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: What's different is one of the things that's different is 115 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: that the shooter basically followed in Brenton Tarrant the christ 116 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: shooters footsteps by covering their firearms and the gear that 117 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: they were wearing and draw like I guess drew or 118 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: painted on I'm not sure. It looks like with like 119 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: a white paint pen, like white out or something like that, 120 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: a white paint pen and covered it. In the names 121 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: of other mass shooters, references to racial annihilation memes like 122 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: the Removed Kabab meme, which is in short, a memes 123 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: celebrating the Bosnian genocide, and it was a meme that 124 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: was specifically Brenton Tarrant had signaled in his like manifesto 125 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: and I think on his gun he had a remove 126 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: Kebob reference, but it's something he signaled and it was 127 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: on the shooter's firearm as well as the names. I 128 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: mean Tarrant. There's references to Tarrant on there. Timothy mc McVeagh, 129 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: te mcvay's name, just the word McVeigh is painted on there. 130 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: Ted Kazenski, the Unibomber, a. 131 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 3: Whole bunch of other more recent mass shooters, people who 132 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 3: are in like the mass shooter fandom, yeah, as well 133 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: as just a collection of memes from like old memes. 134 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: Too utterly unrelated to shooting, Like there's a loss meme 135 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: on there, and if you're a lot of people are going, wait, 136 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: what the fuck? Really? Yeah, and if you're too young 137 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: for loss. There used to be a wet well. I 138 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: think there still is a web comic called Control Alt Delete. 139 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: It started in like the early two thousands. It might 140 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: have gotten started in the late nineties, and it was 141 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: part of like this, there's this boom in web comics 142 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: in the late nineties when suddenly there's people are able 143 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: to make their own comics online and make livings off 144 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: of them. A whole bunch of guys made gaming comics 145 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: after Penny Arcade, which is like the big one that 146 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: blew up. And one of them was Tim Buckley, who 147 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: did a comic called Control All Delete that was not good, 148 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: and he tried to have a serious storyline where his 149 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: character's girlfriend has a miscarriage, and the strip in which 150 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: he finds her having a miscarriage is called loss. And 151 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: it's gotten to the point where people are abstracting the 152 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: four panels into like a minimalist line representation of how 153 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: the blocking look like. It's a bit people have done 154 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: everything like put loss memes on everything, like that's the 155 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: joke at this point, more than a reference to the 156 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: show is like, look at this new crazy place. Somebody 157 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: put a loss meme, and. 158 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 3: So yeah, it's a game. 159 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: And a lot of what we're saying with the shooter 160 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: is like, oh, this is the natural extent of a 161 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: bunch of things, and a fucking mass shooter putting a 162 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: loss meme on the bear or on the side of 163 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: their gun before shooting up a school is the natural 164 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: furthest craziest extent of the loss meme. Right. 165 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 3: If this is anything, it is like a mimetic shooting. 166 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 3: It is based on a whole bunch of memes about 167 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 3: other mass shootings as well, specifically in the way that 168 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 3: engages in like anti semitism and racism and includes slurs 169 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 3: and catchphrases. It's not in the way that the shooter 170 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 3: actually believes these things ideologically. It is just to gesture 171 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 3: to them as they exist in the lineage of other 172 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 3: mass shootings. 173 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: It is. 174 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 3: It's a perfunctory use of slurs and of messaging that 175 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 3: just kind of wraps around this whole like nihilistic fandom 176 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 3: culture around other mass shooters, and like that is that's 177 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 3: what this shooting is. I've watch now like seventeen minutes 178 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 3: of video of the shooter like showing off their weapons, 179 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 3: going through their diaries and journals, inspired by a whole 180 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 3: bunch of like Eastern European mass shooters as well. And 181 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 3: this shooter reminds me of participants of what's called the 182 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 3: true crime community or TCC. Not as in like the 183 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 3: genre of true crime podcasts or documentaries, but it's more 184 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 3: of an online fandom based on a personal obsession with 185 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 3: mass killers themselves and specifically school shooters. And this community 186 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 3: encourages reenactments and tries to get some people to do 187 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 3: their own mass shootings. Yeah, and this is not the 188 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 3: first one of these we've had in this past year. Now, 189 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 3: the shooting in Wisconsin last December I spent the rep Noow, 190 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 3: which we reported on on NI could Happen Here, was 191 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 3: also in this variant of like Columbiner True Crime community shootings. 192 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 3: Repnow's name is on one of this shooter's rifles. Yes, 193 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 3: there was a shooting in Tennessee a few months later 194 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 3: which also referenced Repnow, done by a black white supremacist 195 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 3: in cel whose manifesto was full of like plagiarized memes 196 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 3: and other manifestos. It's about this, like yeah, this complete 197 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 3: lack of meaning, Like they scatter shot all of these 198 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 3: memes and references and like bits of manifestos and like 199 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 3: images to just to make this whole mess of stuff 200 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 3: to look at. But none of it actually means anything. 201 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: Well, and the draining of meaning, the flattening of meaning 202 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: is part of the pla. That's the point taking is 203 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: taking a man who shot fucking fifty people to death 204 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: and turning that into the same thing as a twenty 205 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: year old joke about a comic strip in terms of 206 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: its impact and severity, Because if that's no more serious 207 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: or meaningful or painful than fucking a joke about Tim 208 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: Buckley's dumbass cartoon. Like, once you get someone in a 209 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: mind state where they accept that they're willing to accept 210 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: a lot of terrible things, right, And the goal here 211 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: is creating content in the form of mass shootings, right, Like, 212 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: that is the goal, and that is also what people 213 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: are consciously. A lot of people want to be a 214 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: part of themselves. You mentioned the last year's shooting that 215 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: committed by Samantha ruppnow, but there's also I found a 216 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: December thirtieth, twenty twenty four article in Wisconsin Public radiowpr 217 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: dot org their website. It talks about reupnow, but it 218 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 1: also gives the story of thirteen year old Jamie Sitz, 219 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: who killed herself in twenty twenty four and was a 220 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: member of the true crime community. The police went through 221 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: her phone and they found a bunch of memes and 222 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: reference and like her contributing to online discussions and telegrams 223 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: and stuff for PCC. She was obsessed with the Columbine Kids, right. 224 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: She like engaged in a lot of those conversations, and 225 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: she was posting about her plan to kill herself, but 226 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: she was not interested in carrying out like a mass 227 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: shooting or killing other people, and that fit in fine 228 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: within the discourse like people in courage present basically right, 229 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: Like yeah, I think part of the thrill hitary is 230 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: just wanting to feel like you, sitting on your ass 231 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: on the computer, you are impacting the world in part 232 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: because you feel like that's the only chunk of the 233 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: world that you've got right, and that's tied into the 234 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: hopelessness and the nihilism of all of this. I found 235 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: a just random poster on Reddit in a discussion of 236 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: the TCC community. I actually really like this person's summary 237 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: of it. And this is like seven years old. Interestingly enough, 238 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: it's not a new phenomenon. It dates back to interwar 239 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: period Germany. There were many Germans at the time who 240 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: were fascinated with the topic of extremely grisly murder and torture, 241 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: especially such instances where sexual arousal was involved. The German 242 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: language even has a word for it, lust mort or 243 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: lust murder. Serial killers were on the rise at the time, 244 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: and many of them claimed to get extreme amounts of 245 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: carnal pleasure from the act of killing or maiming, and 246 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 1: there is this weird vein I found another study as 247 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: I was looking into this that uses the true crime 248 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: community term. It's from twenty fifteen by Naomi Barnes of 249 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 1: Utah State University, and it was like looking into fandoms 250 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: that had grown up around serial killers and around spree 251 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: killers online. And Naomi is using the word true crime 252 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: community for just the general terms of people who are 253 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: interested in true crime, not in the way that you 254 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: and I have been using it. 255 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, because we're using this this term to refer to 256 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 3: like a specific fandom around like around these shootings, not 257 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 3: the general milieu of like true crime podcasts and like 258 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 3: documentaries and people who are into that sort of content. 259 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,079 Speaker 3: We're referring to a much more niche group of people 260 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 3: online who operate on like Telegram, discord, Tumbler, and other 261 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 3: social media accounts. 262 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: Right. 263 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 3: It's based around like specifically like like an obsession over 264 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 3: actually doing these acts and like and and like they 265 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 3: like cause play as these people. This isn't like your 266 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 3: you know, average white woman who likes listening to true 267 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 3: crime podcasts. This is this is something very different. 268 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: No, and that's that's important. But it's also important to 269 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: note that, like what you've been talking about, this this 270 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: need to recreate, and not just prior to actually carrying 271 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: out a shooting, because most of them don't ever do that. 272 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: There's this need, this obsession with the aesthetics to want 273 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: to own clothing and objects and whatnot that like look 274 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: like Eric Dylan or whatever. Right, the column bine band shirt. 275 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: Yeah right, And this does extend to the shootings, Like 276 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: there's a number of shooters who have worn that KMFDM 277 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 1: shirt because one of the columnbind guys wore. 278 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 3: It cementthro up now and I believe this recent shooter 279 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 3: also had had a KMDS shirt picked out. 280 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: And what's interesting about that twenty fifteen study is that 281 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: it is looking at the true crime community because columnbiners 282 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: were already a thing. There'd been a number of copycat attacks, 283 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: but the kind of social fandom around like that aspect 284 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: of it had not really taken hold in a mass 285 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: level in a way that the internet and virality could 286 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: really make use of. 287 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 3: It involved on Tumblr like in that era. Yes, it's 288 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 3: more like an infant compared to like the fully grown 289 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 3: version that it is now. 290 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, And what's interesting to me is this this paper 291 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: kind of catches the communities. It's starting to calv Off. 292 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: And so there's a chunk of the paper where she's 293 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: quoting from a couple of different people who went and visited. 294 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: In one case, they visited like Adam Lanza's house and 295 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: the Sandy Hook Elementary School, and it's people visiting places 296 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: like that, sites associated with like mass shootings and the like. 297 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: And she gives this mix of people being like, oh, 298 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: like the first quesson he quotes who went to Lands 299 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: of House is like, I was actually just really sad 300 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: and I just wish none of it had ever taken place, 301 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: Like it was all really horrible and it made me 302 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: feel bad. But then a bit later she gives you 303 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: responses from people who have the opposite reaction, Like there's 304 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: this fella Paul, who does not specify which murder site 305 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: they visited, but specified that it was a place where 306 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: a murder victim's body was found. And Paul responded, Honestly, 307 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: I felt a static like, Wow, I'm going to place 308 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: someone was killed. What if there are ghosts the murderer 309 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: him or herself? I was absolutely off. My kid, we 310 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: dug up some dirt and we keep it in a 311 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: little glass bottle. It's like a religious pilgrimage, right, right, 312 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: And that's the static and that's what this starts to document. 313 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: And that's where I'm like, oh, this is this study 314 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: is mostly about an unrelated just a normal fandom, but 315 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: you can see the bits like already popping up in 316 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, these people who are having these estatic almost 317 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: again like almost like psychosexual experiences being at the site 318 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: of a mass shooting. 319 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, and the further country that is then doing one yourself. 320 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 3: And obviously this also is like a part of like 321 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 3: a suicidal drive, a suicidal intention. While a lot of 322 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 3: people kill themselves in the course of the act, right, 323 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 3: it's a way of making your suicide not just be 324 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 3: about yourself. 325 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: Right. And there's more to say about like the culture 326 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,479 Speaker 1: of fame in this country and like how how virality 327 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: and whatnot has made it so that like these people 328 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: tend to get what they want, or at least they 329 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: know they've got a good chance of getting what they want, right, 330 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: they're obviously not around to experience it, but like, as 331 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: long as you do something sufficiently like weird and bloody, 332 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: you're likely to get a good amount of attention for 333 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: a while. 334 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 3: So that's the actual like background of what this shooting was. 335 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 3: I think now we should probably mention how the shooting's 336 00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 3: being talked about more broadly, Yeah, because it takes a 337 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 3: very different angle from the actual like nihilistic, like TCC 338 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 3: fandom aspect it is. It is making this a more 339 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 3: about like woke contemporary politics, I suppose. 340 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: Yeah. 341 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 3: Cash Betel's announced that he's investigating this as as an 342 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 3: anti Catholic hate crime. 343 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, which is just not true. I mean, it's almost 344 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: certainly by a Catholic or somebody who was raised gath Like. Yeah. 345 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: All the people who hate Catholics most are often lapsed Catholics. 346 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 3: Very early on, people started claiming that this shooter was 347 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 3: trans Now, a few years ago, they did change their 348 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 3: name to Robin, and the name change petition stated that 349 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 3: at the time they identified as female. At this point, 350 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 3: we still know very little about the actual shooter beyond 351 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 3: like the videos they posted on YouTube of their weapons 352 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 3: and a journal written in cyrillic and a note that 353 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 3: they left to their parents discussing their fear of dying 354 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 3: of cancer due to vaping. I've not been able to 355 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 3: look at their Internet presence or activities in the intervening 356 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 3: years since changing their name, and their current gender identity 357 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 3: is still not very clear. In a translation of their 358 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 3: cyrillic journal, they discussed detransition quote, I don't want to 359 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 3: dress girly all the time, but I guess sometimes I 360 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 3: really like it. I know I am not a woman, 361 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 3: but I definitely don't feel like a man. I regret 362 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 3: being trans. I wish I was a girl. I just 363 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 3: know I cannot achieve that body with the technology we 364 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 3: have today. I also can't afford that I only keep 365 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 3: my long hair because it is pretty much my last 366 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 3: shred of being trans. I'm tired of being trans. I 367 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 3: wish I never brainwashed myself. I can't cut my hair now, 368 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 3: as it would be an embarrassing defeat and it might 369 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 3: be a concerning change of character that could get me reported. 370 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 3: It just always gets in my way. I will probably 371 00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 3: chop it on the day of the attack. Discussion of 372 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 3: gender takes up a very small percentage of the journal. 373 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 3: Most of their writing is about admiration for previous mass 374 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 3: shooters and fantasizing about killing children from a very young age. 375 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 3: On the cover of their journal, alongside a bunch of 376 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 3: other like gun stickers, they do have a defend a 377 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 3: quality Progress flag sticker with an AK forty seven YEP. 378 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 3: From my perspective, this is just another one of those 379 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 3: memes that they're wrapping into everything. On one of their magazines, 380 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 3: they wrote I am the wokeler, why so queerious? Right 381 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 3: on the other side of the magazine had an anti 382 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 3: queer slur. So I view this type of stuff in 383 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 3: the same way I view the inclusion of like the 384 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 3: Lost meme or like Ted Kaczinski or all this other stuff. 385 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 3: This this like memified version of trying to throw everything 386 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,959 Speaker 3: at the wall just to make everything mean nothing right. 387 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 3: And it's it's extremely like obnoxious and annoying. 388 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: But it it works. 389 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 3: But yeah, it works. And I don't know what else 390 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 3: I want to say on this, onlike the trends angle, we. 391 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: Don't want to deny that like this is going to 392 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 1: cause a problem, that this is going to be used 393 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: by the right, like there will be There will certainly 394 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: be rhetoric, and I've already seen rhetoric from you know, 395 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: Jack posobc in that crowd around it. 396 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 3: About trans people targeting Catholics. 397 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: Well, this is why these people shouldn't have weapons or whatever, 398 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: like this is why we should put them all in 399 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: and I don't. I'm not going to minimize that that 400 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: didn't start with this, that that kind of rhetoric, that 401 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: conversation and this is useful to that crowd, and you 402 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: know that is that is bad. I don't. We don't 403 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: know what's going to happen or to what extent this is. 404 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: Like we're talking right now that they clearly would like 405 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: to use this and are trying to use this. One 406 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: thing that I would point out and I don't know 407 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: if this is certainly not an on balance optimistic thing, 408 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: but making Americans focus on a mass shooting for more 409 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: than a day or two not as easy as it 410 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: used to be. 411 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 3: No, Yeah, which is really devastating. 412 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: It's not good that we're there, but like two people dead, 413 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like Americans ignore way bigger numbers all 414 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: the time now the right, you know, there's not always 415 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: a media campaign like there's going to be with this 416 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: beyond trying to make this huge. But also they've done 417 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: that before, right, they did that with the rep now shooting, right, Like, 418 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: there were attempts to make that and it didn't. 419 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 3: Every mass shooting, right, they have tried to pain it's 420 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:23,959 Speaker 3: been done by a transperson, and I think in some 421 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 3: ways that has depowered this rhetoric as a tactic. Yeah, 422 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 3: by claiming every shooter is trans, most Republicans already believe 423 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 3: that to be the case. So whether this person either 424 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 3: was trans or used to be trans, it may not 425 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 3: matter that much to the right because they already think 426 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 3: every shooter is trans. Like right, Trump's already targeting queer people. 427 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 3: The right doesn't need an excuse to go after queer people. 428 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 3: I don't think an event like this will make the 429 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 3: hammer come down much harder. This could be a boy 430 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 3: who cried wolf situation for the anti trans right, since 431 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 3: their base already thinks that every mass shooter from the 432 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 3: past three years is trans. I did a whole episode 433 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 3: on this last year, called fake trans Terrorists. The Gun 434 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 3: Violence Archive says that there have been two hundred and 435 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 3: eighty six mass shootings in the United States so far 436 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five. If one or two trans people 437 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 3: do a mass shooting, that would still mean trans people 438 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 3: at one percent of the population, are less likely to 439 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 3: do a shooting compared to CIS people. There was like 440 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 3: one legitimate trans mass shooting targeting a school a few 441 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 3: years ago in Nashville, and if this happens to be 442 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 3: the second, I don't think that this new brain Rod 443 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 3: Columbine true crime community shooting will make much of an 444 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 3: impact on trans people nationwide. Think of how quick conservatives 445 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 3: moved on from the Zizians, and certainly being trans is 446 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 3: not a motivating factor of this shooting. If you look 447 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 3: at their writing and videos posted on YouTube before they 448 00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 3: did this, this nihilistic meme maximili has no trans causation. 449 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 3: It has nothing to do with being trans. There's no 450 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 3: coherent or ideological leftist screed, there's no pronoun pins. Their 451 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 3: journal talks both about quote unquote hating fascism and inequality, 452 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 3: while also hating Jews, Arabs, Mexicans, Indians, calling Somali's subhuman 453 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 3: and criminal, writing that quote white people should rule the 454 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 3: world unquote, but that minority should quote unquote have rights. 455 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 3: While talking about ideological Nazi killers, they remarked, quote, I 456 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 3: don't often find myself aligning with these killers specific ideologies unquote. 457 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 3: They said that they disliked racism but also were racist. 458 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 3: They wrote about killing quote unquote fags while also calling 459 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 3: themself one on one of their weapons. This shooter and 460 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 3: all the memes and rhetoric they use is most similar 461 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 3: to the Rep. Noow shooting last December in Wisconsin in 462 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 3: terms of the neo Columbiner school shooter obsession, as well 463 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 3: as the white supremacist mimetic black in cell shooting in NNOC, Tennessee, 464 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 3: last January. All these shootings are heavily referential, contradictory, and 465 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 3: intentionally incoherent. Right, every single extremist political faction is represented there, 466 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 3: because that that is the point, is combining all of 467 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 3: these references two previous mass shootings, So they're incorporating everything 468 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 3: they can and things that they just think are funny, 469 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 3: like just a whole bunch of like meaningless memes. 470 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: Yep. 471 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 3: And that's vastly more important than whatever gender identity the 472 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 3: shooter happens to have right now at this point in 473 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. 474 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: All right, Well, anyway, folks, there's going to be a 475 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 1: lot of people going the sky is falling over what 476 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 1: this is going to mean for people and how this 477 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: is going to be used. And obviously this is terrible. 478 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: I'm not telling you not to feel terrible about a 479 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: mass shooting. 480 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 3: You should feel bad about the actual mass shooting. 481 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: You should feel bad about the mass shooting the sky. 482 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's been falling right, Yeah, let's give 483 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 1: this one a little bit to see if it makes 484 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: this sky fall any faster, or if in a week 485 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: we're like, no, this guy's still falling at about the 486 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: same rate, which isn't good. It's just what happens. It's 487 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: where we are, all right, ads, and we're back. 488 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 3: We can safely leave the brain rot in the previous 489 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 3: section and now talk about something totally real. The economy. 490 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: Yes, the economy, which never kills people. 491 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 4: Okay, so speaking of things that have never killed any one, eye, 492 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 4: that's so not true. The volkershaw killed so many people. 493 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 4: But a very very critical rubicon was crossed on Monday 494 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 4: of this week when Trump attempted to fire a member 495 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 4: of the Federal Reserve Board, Lisa Cook. Now, Lisa Cook 496 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 4: is refusing to step down under the fairly obvious justification 497 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 4: that the president does not have the power to do this. 498 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 4: Trump has been cooking a very weird thing, accusing her 499 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 4: of mortgage fraud as a way to remove her from 500 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 4: the Federal Reserve Board. But Trump does not have the 501 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 4: power to do this. So we are in the midst 502 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 4: effectively of a confrontation over this, where Lisa Cook has 503 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 4: continued to just not actually leave her position at the 504 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 4: Federal Reserve and is going to court. This is an 505 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 4: extremely significant escalation of what up until this point had 506 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 4: largely been a series of attacks on the Federal Reserve's governor, 507 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 4: Jerom Powell. There are a few factors here that one 508 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 4: of the most important things is Trump's anger over continuing 509 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 4: high interest rates or sort of high interest rate. Trump 510 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 4: wants to slash interest rates because he thinks it will 511 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 4: make the economy grow more. Now, when I said this 512 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 4: was the crossing of the rubicon, what this is is 513 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 4: this is the beginning of the fight over whether the 514 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 4: Federal Reserve is going to be an independent density right. 515 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 4: Trump has been attempting to, as we've talked about in 516 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 4: the show, appoint Stephan Miran as another one of the 517 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 4: governors on the Federal Reserves Board. Miran very explicitly wants 518 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 4: to eliminate the independence of the Federal Reserve. What to 519 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 4: talk about exactly what that means in a second, But 520 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 4: I want to read this quote from Fortune magazine report 521 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 4: on it describing a JP Morgan analysis of the situation, 522 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 4: because this has really spooked a bunch of major financial 523 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 4: institutions for very obvious reasons. 524 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 3: Quote. 525 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 4: In a note on Friday, JP Morgan analysts, led by 526 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 4: chief economist Bruce Cassman, highlighted key proposals such as giving 527 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 4: atwill power to the President to fire FED by members 528 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 4: and FED bank presidents, giving Congress control of the Fed's 529 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 4: operating budget, and shifting the Fed's regulatory responsibility over banks 530 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 4: and markets to the Treasury. So this is what Stefan 531 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 4: Mihern has been proposing. This is what looks to be 532 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 4: the long term plan of Trump and the people around him. 533 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 4: Eliminating the Federal Reserve is a long, long time goal 534 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 4: of the far right for an extremely convoluted variety of reasons. 535 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 4: The FED in and of itself is an extremely confusing entity. 536 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 4: Its creation has spawned a full century of academic arguments 537 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 4: about what the States even is, and it's complicated to describe. 538 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 4: Also because most of the information will not most, but 539 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 4: a significant portion of the information about it is just 540 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 4: anti Semitic conspiracy. Because this is eliminating the Federal Reserve. 541 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 4: In the return to quote unquote, sound money is one 542 00:28:55,600 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 4: of the key elements of a massive network of sort 543 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 4: of right wing, very old right wing conspiracy theories. But 544 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 4: I think that the thing that's best understood by people 545 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 4: kind of is just about the Federal Reserve is the 546 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 4: FED printer meme, and the Federal Reserve is the body 547 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 4: that creates money like that is that is authorized to 548 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 4: create the US dollar. That is why it's a Federal 549 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 4: Reserve bank. It is critical on a level that is 550 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 4: difficult to express to the entire functioning of the world economy. Now, 551 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 4: the Federal Reserve Board is technically a government entity, but 552 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 4: it is it was set up explicitly to be quote 553 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 4: unquote non political. Now the extent to which that's true 554 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 4: is fuzzy, obviously, But the point of it was so 555 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 4: that there would be a large scale financial institution that 556 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 4: controls like the money supply effectively, that that controls enormous 557 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 4: portions of US sort of macroeconomics policy through its due 558 00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 4: as control of interest rates would not be able to 559 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 4: be like directly interfered with by the President or Congress. 560 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,479 Speaker 4: That is that it's the whole point of this, you know. 561 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 4: It is effectively a measure to instill confidence that the 562 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 4: US isn't going to just like turn the printers on 563 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 4: and print a bunch of money from every other capitalist 564 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 4: in the world. 565 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, and like so much. When that promise goes away, 566 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: what happens, I don't know. Yeah. 567 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 4: Well, and this is this is something that I think, 568 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 4: I think is not understood very well. 569 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 5: Right. 570 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 4: The current conflict is largely over Trump wanting to be 571 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 4: able to control the Federal reserves interest rates. Right, So 572 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 4: he wants he wants the lower federal interest rates to 573 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 4: make it make it cheaper to borrow money because he 574 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,719 Speaker 4: thinks this will pump more money back into the economy 575 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 4: and this will make the economy grow. And he thinks 576 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 4: that he's being like sabotaged by the FED. The Fed's 577 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 4: worried about inflation. But I actually think that focusing just 578 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 4: on that part of the Federal Reserve is significantly underestimating 579 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 4: how important the Federal Reserve is to the entire structure 580 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 4: of the economy. There are so many just sort of 581 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 4: random things that it does that are not particularly well understood. 582 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 4: I was talking about this earlier on a meeting, but 583 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 4: the significant portion of the gold held by countries around 584 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 4: the world is literally just keptain a vault under the 585 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 4: New York Federal Reserve building, and that's just the sort 586 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 4: of seemingly random thing that it does. I was reading 587 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 4: about its payment system for reasons that I'll talk about 588 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 4: in the episode to do about this next week. It 589 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 4: just in a footnote about the payment system, there is 590 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 4: a part where it says that the Federal Reserve runs 591 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 4: the payment system for the World Bank. So this is 592 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 4: something that is a critical, critical, an extremely complicated center 593 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 4: of the entire capitalist world. Right, Its payment infrastructure has 594 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 4: trillions of dollars a year and moving through it. If 595 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 4: this infrastructure stops working or breaks a little bit, a 596 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 4: lot of the very subtle management of the economy of 597 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 4: the Federal Reserve does can stop working. And you know, 598 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 4: again we've been talking mostly about interest rates and its 599 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 4: ability to sort of print money, which is oversimplification, but 600 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 4: you know, for example, the Fed also does these things 601 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 4: like carries out these like massive overnight repo agreements, like 602 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 4: inject liquidity into the market. There's all of these massive 603 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 4: we are talking billions and billions of dollars of financial 604 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 4: interventions that you basically never even hear about that have 605 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 4: been stabilizing the economy since two thousand and eight. And 606 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 4: this apparatus if it is dismantled, if it has directly 607 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 4: seized control of by Trump. And and part of what's 608 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 4: going on with this board is that Trump is trying 609 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 4: to get a majority of the people on the Board 610 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 4: of Governors of the Federal Reserve to be his appointment 611 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 4: so that he can control it directly, and so they 612 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 4: can start bringing it under directly under the control of 613 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 4: I mean the president effectively. Right, this is something where 614 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 4: if you unleash the doge people on the Federal Reserve 615 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 4: and the payment system, the settlement and clearance systems stop working. 616 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 4: We are talking about a catastrophe that it's unclear to 617 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 4: me whether it's even been modeled. There are so many 618 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 4: different complicated things that this institution does that these people 619 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 4: do not understand particularly well at all and think that 620 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 4: they can use to just sort of permanently create a 621 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 4: bubble economy that they can ride. And this is the 622 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 4: first sort of shot over the battle. Isn't even in 623 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 4: the right where this is the first engagement over the 624 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 4: fight for that. There's also been a lot of sort 625 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 4: of taco analysis of this, arguing that this is actually 626 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 4: Trump backing down from trying to fire Jerom Powell to 627 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 4: just try to fire one of the Reserve board members 628 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 4: that's not backing down. There's also a chance to heal that. 629 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 4: If this works, he's going to try to fire Powell too. 630 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 4: So we're gonna We're gonna keep watching a situation. I'm 631 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 4: going to talk more about it next week when we 632 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 4: know more, and also talk about what the Federal Reserve 633 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 4: is as an institution, And we're going to continue monitoring the 634 00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 4: situation because it is extremely important and handing the keys 635 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 4: over to these people is something that is dangerous enough 636 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,479 Speaker 4: that it is creating significant pushback among the actual people 637 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 4: in finance and in the banking system who matter. 638 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 1: Great, well, it's so good. I mean, we'll see if 639 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: this means anything other than more suffering for you know people. 640 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,839 Speaker 1: I guess that's where I am, as like, is there 641 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,720 Speaker 1: even a level of fucking with the money that Trump 642 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: can do that that's enough to seriously cause consequences for him? 643 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 1: And there must be, but it's just hard to imagine 644 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: if there was. It's this. Yeah, we'll see. I mean, 645 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,879 Speaker 1: that's the fun thing with the big stories we've got 646 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 1: this week is they're all like, well, could get a 647 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 1: lot worse, could just stay as bad as it is 648 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,439 Speaker 1: right now. Well, we'll continue to wait to see what's 649 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,720 Speaker 1: going to happen with all of that. Speaking of something 650 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,439 Speaker 1: that we don't have to just wait and wonder what's 651 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 1: going to go on, because the news changes every single week. 652 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 1: Here's the tariff song. 653 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 6: Rocket Jazz, Rocket Jazz, good sal locking rocking jazz, rocking jazz. 654 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 3: Boy. 655 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,479 Speaker 4: Oh boy so, and yet another instance of the whole 656 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 4: Trump backing down thing not happening. The tariffs on India 657 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 4: that Trump had been threatening for the purchases of Russian 658 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 4: oil have in fact taken effect. The terriff right on 659 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 4: India is now fifty percent. This is a significant barrier 660 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 4: to any trade between India and the US. It is 661 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 4: again sort of unclear whether India is going to bow 662 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,839 Speaker 4: to the political pressure here because as with many of 663 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,760 Speaker 4: these terriffs, we've talked about this situation with Brazil fairly 664 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 4: extensively on this show. The thing about imposing tariffs on 665 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 4: a country to get them to fall in line with 666 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 4: the American policy is that it pisses off everyone in 667 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 4: the country, regardless of whether or not they would traditionally 668 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 4: be US allies, and so there's you know, it creates 669 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:06,359 Speaker 4: a massive countervailing pressure against the financial incentive to fall 670 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 4: in line and stop buying Russian oil. I also, very 671 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 4: briefly want to talk about something that I think is 672 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 4: a sort of part and parcel of the tariff policy 673 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 4: that Garson you have mentioned wanted to talk about, which 674 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 4: is like the US purchasing ten percent of Intel. 675 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 3: Yes, socialism has been achieved. We did it. Now now 676 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 3: you can finally call Trump a national socialist. 677 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:30,359 Speaker 1: That's right. 678 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, And this is sort of a intensification, I guess, 679 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 4: of a agree that we talked about a while back, 680 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 4: where Intel was talking about giving part of its profits 681 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 4: to the US. This is just the US government is 682 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 4: just buying a stake in these companies. 683 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 3: And this is. 684 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 4: Actually a very very weird maneuver by the US because 685 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 4: the US has obviously bought companies before, right, this is 686 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 4: how a lot of the bailout worked. But the thing 687 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 4: about if you look at the bailout from two thousand 688 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 4: and eight and you look at the US like purchasing 689 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 4: the automakers, the US got these really weird specific shares 690 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 4: that don't give any kind of controlling interest. And here 691 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 4: the direct rationale for this that the US should just 692 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 4: own part of the chip manufacturers because they're effectively like 693 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 4: domestic national security resources. Significant portions of the market think 694 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 4: that this is going to be a continuing tread, and 695 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 4: the US is going to continue buying stakes in these companies. 696 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 4: There is a sort of symbiotic relationship here in the 697 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,479 Speaker 4: sense that on the one hand, it's obviously not great 698 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 4: to have sort of stakes in you bought by the 699 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 4: US governments and have US government federal policy directly dictating 700 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,319 Speaker 4: what these companies do. But on the other hand, it 701 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,439 Speaker 4: creates for these actual companies themselves, It creates a sort 702 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 4: of symbiosis right where these people now have effectively guaranteed 703 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 4: state backing that can bail them out of all of 704 00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 4: their unbelievably terrible business decisions around basing all of their 705 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 4: production around AI. So yeah, and this this is all 706 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:08,800 Speaker 4: sort of part of the same hypernationalists direct. 707 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 3: National socialism, if you will, Yes, kind of national sentence, 708 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 3: but the most stupid for we've ever seen. 709 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, I don't know, there's gonna be a lot 710 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 4: of hype about this being like American state capitalism or something, 711 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,760 Speaker 4: and just ignore that, just just ignore it. It's bad. 712 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 4: I think it's it's in the same category as a 713 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 4: lot of the things here, which is that Trump administration 714 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 4: is trying to consolidate as much power over the economy 715 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 4: as they can, both in federal Reserve and through just 716 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,920 Speaker 4: straight up taking controlling parts of companies. This is a 717 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 4: trend that's going to continue, and it's not good. 718 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 3: Do you know what is good? Though? You beat me 719 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,839 Speaker 3: to that exactly, that's right. The fact that we get 720 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 3: a nice ninety to to I don't know, one hundred 721 00:38:54,840 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 3: and twenty second break to listen to these ads. All right, 722 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,879 Speaker 3: we are back. There has just been so much news 723 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,319 Speaker 3: this week it's kind of outrageous. Trump is continuing his 724 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,799 Speaker 3: attacks against the Smithsonian for for going woke is He's 725 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 3: promised a Department of Justice lawsuit against California for their 726 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 3: new redistricting map. A GOP House probe has begun to 727 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 3: investigate if the DC crime stats have been faked this 728 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 3: whole time, making it look like crime is low even 729 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 3: though it's obviously super high as we all know. As 730 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 3: Mia said, we have socialism now with ten percent of 731 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 3: intel and Trump and Hague says announced that they want 732 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 3: to change the name of the Department of Defense back 733 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 3: to the Department of War because it quote unquote sounds stronger. 734 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 4: Hey, this is this is the only one of those 735 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 4: that I that I actually agree with. They should do this, 736 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 4: Like calling it anything other than the Department of War 737 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,239 Speaker 4: is incredibly dishonest. 738 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder that I'll make it a harder sort 739 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 1: of get people on board, increasing funding. 740 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,359 Speaker 5: So it used to be called the Department of War, 741 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,399 Speaker 5: and it had a stronger sound. And as you know, we. 742 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 7: Won World War One, we won World War two, we 743 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 7: won everything. 744 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,920 Speaker 8: Now we have a Department of Defense with defenders. 745 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 5: I don't know if you people want to standing behind me, 746 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,239 Speaker 5: if you take a little vote, if you want to 747 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 5: change it back to what it was when we used 748 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,440 Speaker 5: to win wars all the time, that's okay with me. 749 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 7: All right, that's coming. 750 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,840 Speaker 5: You let me know if you want to do it. 751 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,840 Speaker 5: I think Department of War. It just sounded me. 752 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 8: And you said, sir, behalf of the Department of Defense. 753 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 1: Defense. 754 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 7: I don't want to be defense only. We want defense, 755 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 7: but we want offense too, if that's okay, So you'll 756 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 7: make a decision. But you know, as Department of War, 757 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 7: we won everything. We want everything, and I think we're 758 00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 7: gonna have to go back to that. 759 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,400 Speaker 3: All right, man, cool stuff happening in the FOE. 760 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I do like that when he starts that speech, 761 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 1: he has to go like we won World War One, 762 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: Like he's like, there's a question at the end there 763 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 1: where he's like he's he's like, he's like, just make sure. 764 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't really remember if we won 765 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 1: that one or not, but we definitely won the second 766 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:19,960 Speaker 1: one and others. 767 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,239 Speaker 3: When as to how he would go about change the 768 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 3: name as it requires an Act of Congress, Trump replied 769 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 3: to quote, We're just gonna do it. I'm sure Congress 770 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,799 Speaker 3: would go along if we need that. I don't think 771 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,319 Speaker 3: we even need that, But if we need that, I'm 772 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 3: sure Congress will go along. 773 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 1: I don't know that we do we need I don't 774 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,400 Speaker 1: know if what you need to change the name of 775 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: the Department. 776 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:42,239 Speaker 3: Of Defense, you do? 777 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, you do? That makes sense to do that. 778 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,000 Speaker 4: Auto Macro's sense right. What Trump is suggesting, heureus would 779 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 4: wouldn't it simply be more efficient if there was simply 780 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 4: a fearer, a single person to make all the decisions? 781 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 3: He said a lot of things in that vein recently 782 00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 3: is like Congress being more of a symbolic, symbolic branch 783 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 3: of government that if we need them, they'll probably just 784 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,239 Speaker 3: agree with me, but like we don't. 785 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 1: Really that's your standard dictator stuff. 786 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:10,800 Speaker 3: That's how we's been talking about it recently. 787 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 5: Now. 788 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,400 Speaker 3: Earlier this week, a redacted transcript of Gallaine maxwells Gilen 789 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,399 Speaker 3: Jiselene Maxwell's meeting with Trump's DOJ has been released, where 790 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 3: she denied that she ever witnessed President Trump engaged in 791 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 3: inappropriate behavior, saying, quote, I actually never saw the president 792 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,239 Speaker 3: in any type of massage setting. The President was never 793 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 3: gonna appropriate with anybody, and the times that I was 794 00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,840 Speaker 3: with him, he was a gentleman in all respects unquote. 795 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 3: She also denied allegations that Prince Andrew ever had sex 796 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,040 Speaker 3: with a minor in her home, saying that a substantiating 797 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 3: photograph is quote unquote fake. 798 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 1: Well, I can't imagine why she'd lie. 799 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,400 Speaker 3: And also claimed that there is no Epstein quote unquote 800 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,279 Speaker 3: client less. So yeah, that all about wraps that up. 801 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,799 Speaker 3: I think we got to the bottom of the whole 802 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 3: Epstein case. We don't need to worry about this anymore. 803 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 1: I would say, of all of those, the one of 804 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,279 Speaker 1: those that I might have believed before she denied it 805 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 1: was that there wasn't an additional client list outside of 806 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 1: what we've already seen like his black wole. Oh yeah, 807 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,759 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't keep all of 808 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:09,879 Speaker 1: that many notes on a criminal conspiracy. 809 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:11,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think here's a list of being like, 810 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,240 Speaker 3: here's all of my pedophile friends in one place. 811 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,919 Speaker 1: Here's what does make me wonder now, and this really 812 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 1: is the first time I am, which is that they 813 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 1: clearly came here with a list of Here is all 814 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,840 Speaker 1: of the things you need to say you didn't see. 815 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 3: Like maybe or she's just savvy enough to know what 816 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,719 Speaker 3: to say, Like I don't even think, Yeah, we don't 817 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,840 Speaker 3: even need to an allege a larger conspiracy here. I 818 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,040 Speaker 3: think everyone involved in this is quite savvy and knows 819 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:35,439 Speaker 3: what they should say and shouldn't say. 820 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think the conspiracy is obvious, Like. 821 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,160 Speaker 3: That's all there is. There doesn't need to be an 822 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:41,799 Speaker 3: explicit quid pro crow here. 823 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. It's interesting to me that she 824 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 1: brings up Prince Andrew. If nobody brought that up to 825 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 1: her she was asked about it, That's what I'm saying 826 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,839 Speaker 1: is I believe there's a conversation we're not privy here too, 827 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,839 Speaker 1: where she got marching orders in exchange for getting you know, 828 00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 1: she's basically out on work release, right, I. 829 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 3: Don't need to jump to such outrageous conspiratorial beliefs such 830 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 3: as that. 831 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 1: I'm okay with it at this point. Yeah, I don't 832 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,480 Speaker 1: know what to what extend it was, but yeah, I 833 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 1: don't know this is this is pointless, like, yeah, I 834 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 1: don't know if this helps with his base. I don't 835 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 1: know that his base is going to be like, well 836 00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 1: if Gilan Maxwell says it. 837 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 3: Nope, yeah, I mean people have responded positively, like Margor 838 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 3: Taylor Green, who was previously going on a slight offense 839 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,720 Speaker 3: that on the Epstein things, has now fully come around 840 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,879 Speaker 3: being like, well, there you go. It's it turns out 841 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,960 Speaker 3: Trumpet isn't a pedophile after all. Thank goodness, that was 842 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 3: a close call there. 843 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 1: I know this is being disseminated to his influencer network, right, 844 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 1: and to the network of people that he like uses 845 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 1: for stuff like this. I'm wondering about the actual like 846 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: voter base, fan base, like time will tell, and the 847 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,520 Speaker 1: folks who are a step or two further than Marjorie 848 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,399 Speaker 1: Taylor Green like the like the people who are more 849 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,600 Speaker 1: like on the Rogan side of things, like, does this 850 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 1: really move the needle for them? 851 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:00,760 Speaker 3: Sure? 852 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,319 Speaker 1: I hate having the cares like this, Joe Rogan, I'm 853 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 1: gonna buy this shlot, But this does seem like, yeah, 854 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:08,439 Speaker 1: shameful even for him. 855 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,239 Speaker 3: I mean, I think a lot of people can see 856 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:15,280 Speaker 3: that there's an incentive for going to say certain things, 857 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,400 Speaker 3: and I think people people are smart enough to understand that. 858 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,000 Speaker 3: I don't think she's going to tell the Trump's own 859 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 3: DOJ about like a smoking gun involving Trump. Why would 860 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 3: that help her try to get a pardon from the President? 861 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:27,640 Speaker 1: Yeah? 862 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 4: I think I think. I think the important thing for 863 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 4: this is that like, the people who are going to 864 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,920 Speaker 4: believe this are the people who just don't want to 865 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 4: believe that Trump did this, and this is this is 866 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,360 Speaker 4: a reinforcing thing that can feed them. But the question 867 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:43,000 Speaker 4: is what asks for everyone else? And it's not particularly 868 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,200 Speaker 4: compelling for them. 869 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 3: All Right, We have four executive orders to get through 870 00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,400 Speaker 3: before we close this episode, starting off with cashless bail. 871 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,879 Speaker 3: On Monday, Trump signed two executive orders targeting cash's bail, 872 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,360 Speaker 3: one specific to Washington, d c which directs law enforcement 873 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,080 Speaker 3: to charge people federally and hold them in federal custody, 874 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,799 Speaker 3: and to use federal funding and services as leverage to 875 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:07,080 Speaker 3: pressure DC to change its cashless bail policies. The other 876 00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,840 Speaker 3: executive order targets cashless bail nationwide and asks the Attorney 877 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,279 Speaker 3: General to make a list of quote, states and local 878 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 3: jurisdictions that have, in the Attorney General's opinion, substantially eliminated 879 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,360 Speaker 3: cash bail as a potential condition of pre trial release 880 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,239 Speaker 3: from custody for crimes that pose a clear threat to 881 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,920 Speaker 3: public safety and order, including offenses involving violent, sexual or 882 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:29,600 Speaker 3: indecent acts, or burglary, looting, or vandalism. The Attorney General 883 00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:33,439 Speaker 3: shall update this list as necessary. So, using that list, 884 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:37,160 Speaker 3: Trump's cabinet will then quote identify federal funds, including grants 885 00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,520 Speaker 3: and contracts currently provided to cashless bail jurisdictions that may 886 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 3: be suspended or terminated unquote, So it's trying to bribe 887 00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:49,080 Speaker 3: states and local municipalities to cease cashless bail policies using 888 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,440 Speaker 3: federal funds, the same way that they've tried to do 889 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,160 Speaker 3: for a whole bunch of other anti WOUE policies Trump 890 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:58,359 Speaker 3: has tried to force onto unwilling states. Second Executive Order 891 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 3: from August twenty fifth, titled Prosecuting Burning of the American Flag. 892 00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 3: Let's start with a clip from Trump. I don't want 893 00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,239 Speaker 3: to just play super long Trump clips because they know 894 00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,080 Speaker 3: that can be annoying. But the way that he talks 895 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,839 Speaker 3: about disorder is kind of more interesting than the way 896 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,360 Speaker 3: the order is written. But we will talk about some 897 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 3: of those smaller details included in the actual text. But 898 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,480 Speaker 3: here's a clip from c SPAN. 899 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:28,399 Speaker 5: Flag burning all over the country. They're burning flags all 900 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:28,919 Speaker 5: over the world. 901 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:29,440 Speaker 3: They burn the. 902 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 5: American flag, and as you know, through a very sad chord. 903 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 5: I guess it was a five to four decision. They 904 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,320 Speaker 5: called it freedom of speech. But there's another reason, which 905 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 5: is perhaps. 906 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 8: Much more important. It's called death. Because what happens when 907 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,600 Speaker 8: you burn a flag is the area goes crazy. If 908 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 8: you have hundreds of people, they go crazy. 909 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:52,920 Speaker 1: You could do other things, you. 910 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,760 Speaker 5: Can burn this piece of paper, you could, and it's 911 00:47:56,160 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 5: when you burn the American flag. It incites riots at 912 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,279 Speaker 5: levels that we've never seen before. People go crazy in 913 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,400 Speaker 5: a way. Both ways. There's some that are going crazy 914 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,800 Speaker 5: for doing it. There are others that are angry angry 915 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:11,880 Speaker 5: about them doing it? 916 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:13,920 Speaker 8: Do you want to discuss that? 917 00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:14,359 Speaker 5: Sure? 918 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,279 Speaker 9: What the executive order does there charges your Department of 919 00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:21,440 Speaker 9: Justice with investigating instances of flag burning and then where 920 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:26,080 Speaker 9: there's evidence of criminal activity, that where prosecution wouldn't fall 921 00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,319 Speaker 9: afoul of the First Amendment, and instructs the Department of 922 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 9: Justice to prosecute those who are engaged in these instances 923 00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:32,760 Speaker 9: of flagburn. 924 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,800 Speaker 5: And what the penalty is going to be. If you 925 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,719 Speaker 5: burn a flag, you get one year in jail, No. 926 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,400 Speaker 7: Early exits, no nothing. 927 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,200 Speaker 5: You get one year in jail. If you're burn a flag, 928 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,600 Speaker 5: you get And what it does is insight to write. 929 00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:48,840 Speaker 7: I hope they use that language. 930 00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,360 Speaker 8: By the way, did that insight to riot? 931 00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 3: I love it. He has to check, yeah, because God 932 00:48:53,680 --> 00:49:00,560 Speaker 3: forbid him. Actually he's citing Trump Trumpe auto pen That's right. 933 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,440 Speaker 3: So included in the order, it says, quote, notwithstanding the 934 00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,239 Speaker 3: Supreme Court's ruling on First Men protections, the Court is 935 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,959 Speaker 3: never held that American flag desecration conducted in a manner 936 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,600 Speaker 3: that is likely to incite imminent lawless action, or that 937 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 3: is an action amounting to quote unquote fighting words, is 938 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:22,799 Speaker 3: constitutionally protected see taxes fe Johnson unquote. The order directs 939 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,719 Speaker 3: Theatery General to enforce criminal and civil laws against acts 940 00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,799 Speaker 3: of American flight discration that cause harm unrelated to First 941 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,200 Speaker 3: Amendment expression, which could include charging people with violent crimes, 942 00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:38,120 Speaker 3: hate crimes, a legal discrimination against American citizens, what violations 943 00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,799 Speaker 3: of American civil rights, crimes against property and peace, as 944 00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,960 Speaker 3: well as conspiracies and attempts to violate in aiding and 945 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,960 Speaker 3: abetting others to violate such laws, so it's like an 946 00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:51,280 Speaker 3: anti rioting thing. The dj will also look for cases 947 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,959 Speaker 3: where American flag discration could violate applicable state or local laws, 948 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:59,640 Speaker 3: such as open burning restrictions, disorderly conduct laws, or destruction 949 00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,000 Speaker 3: of proper laws, and will refer such matters to state 950 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,000 Speaker 3: and local authorities for potential action. Finally, the Secretary of 951 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:09,480 Speaker 3: State shall deny, prohibit, terminate, or revoke visas, residents permits, 952 00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,800 Speaker 3: naturalization proceedings, and other immigration benefits, or seek to deport 953 00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:17,560 Speaker 3: any foreignational that has engaged in American flag to secretion activity. 954 00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,799 Speaker 3: So that's how they're going to go after it. Rober, Are, 955 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:22,960 Speaker 3: do you anything to say on this flag burning thing? 956 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,719 Speaker 1: I mean, they're waiting. I mean, and they didn't wind 957 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 1: up waiting long. Someone did it immediately as they knew 958 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:31,799 Speaker 1: they would, so that they can get a case that 959 00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,000 Speaker 1: they can take up to the Supreme Court. So we'll see, 960 00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:35,399 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. We'll see. 961 00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:39,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, they want to prosecute one of these things 962 00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:41,439 Speaker 3: and appeal it all the way to the Supreme Court 963 00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,200 Speaker 3: to maybe change that ruling so they can apply it 964 00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:46,279 Speaker 3: more broadly. Right, So it's part of the same test 965 00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,319 Speaker 3: that they've done with a number of other things that 966 00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:52,279 Speaker 3: seems unconstitutional, it seems to violate Supreme Court rulings. Yeah, 967 00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:53,960 Speaker 3: but the point is to test that and see if 968 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,720 Speaker 3: they can change it, just like they did with abortion. 969 00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:56,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. 970 00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,080 Speaker 1: Can we go further and if this works, if we 971 00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,040 Speaker 1: feel like we made productress on this, can we start 972 00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,080 Speaker 1: pushing and saying other things are incitement? Right? You know? 973 00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,560 Speaker 1: Can we start going after people who aren't even present 974 00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,560 Speaker 1: who write something that is like, well, this was incitement 975 00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:12,640 Speaker 1: to write because they wrote about the police murdering this guy. 976 00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,120 Speaker 3: Right, like a party of free speech strikes again. 977 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,280 Speaker 1: This is the kind of thing where can I wargame 978 00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,600 Speaker 1: out would they try this if they can get that 979 00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,600 Speaker 1: far yeah, they will if they can get that far. 980 00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,040 Speaker 1: Will they get that far? You know, is the Supreme 981 00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 1: Court going to give them everything they want on this? 982 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,440 Speaker 1: I don't actually know. I really don't know. So I'm 983 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,719 Speaker 1: going to try not to doom spiral too much. Just 984 00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,000 Speaker 1: you know, let's see, none of us have any choice 985 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:36,400 Speaker 1: in the matter at this stage. 986 00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:40,600 Speaker 3: Finally, let's address the quote, additional measures to address the 987 00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:44,680 Speaker 3: crime emergency in the District of Columbia. So it's another 988 00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:49,320 Speaker 3: executive order from August twenty fifth.

He's 1028 00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:04,399 Speaker 3: ano have to deploy the National Guard without putschool's approval. 1029 00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:04,400 Speaker 5: You know. 1030 00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,759 Speaker 1: Gang In all of this focus on the people being 1031 00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,399 Speaker 1: killed and persecuted by the government, I don't think any 1032 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,399 Speaker 1: of us has stopped and spent enough time thinking how 1033 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,759 Speaker 1: does Donald Trump feel?

On Friday, the Pentagon told 1036 00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:26,000 Speaker 3: Fox News at upwards of seventeen hundred National Guard troops 1037 00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,640 Speaker 3: will be mobilized in nineteen states to be deployed across 1038 00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,200 Speaker 3: the country to assist ice in the nationwide hunt for 1039 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:40,400 Speaker 3: undocumented immigrants. The Guard will be activated in states like Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, 1040 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:45,160 Speaker 3: New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, 1041 00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:50,239 Speaker 3: and Wyoming, with effective status ranging from August through mid November, 1042 00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:55,160 Speaker 3: and operations expected to start in early September. Importantly, as 1043 00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:58,879 Speaker 3: we saw in DC, national guard from other states might 1044 00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:02,439 Speaker 3: deploy too states. Specifically, in the case where Trump doesn't 1045 00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:05,640 Speaker 3: get cooperation from the governor who is in control of 1046 00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,640 Speaker 3: the National Guard of each state, he can deploy national 1047 00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,799 Speaker 3: Guard from somewhere else, like what he did in DC, 1048 00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:14,799 Speaker 3: pulling national Guard from other Red states being deployed to 1049 00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:19,240 Speaker 3: d C but mobilized in those Red states. So national 1050 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:21,719 Speaker 3: guards from all of these states could be deployed in 1051 00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,600 Speaker 3: a town near you, no matter where you live. And 1052 00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 3: this operation specifically with these like seventeen hundred National Guard troops, 1053 00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,880 Speaker 3: is specifically to assist ice his plan to do this, 1054 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:36,279 Speaker 3: like anti crime deployment in Chicago, is a separate yet 1055 00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,799 Speaker 3: similar plan. It's also pulling from National Guard. But these 1056 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:43,680 Speaker 3: things are are two separate operations according to White House officials. 1057 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,759 Speaker 4: And I think one of the important things about this 1058 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,160 Speaker 4: is that, you know, obviously there's the part of this 1059 00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:50,840 Speaker 4: where it's like, yeah, they want to at the very 1060 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,319 Speaker 4: least look like they're just occupying cities and they are 1061 00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:56,800 Speaker 4: arresting huge numbers of people, but they also just don't 1062 00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:03,000 Speaker 4: have the manpower to do this kind of stuff, which 1063 00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,279 Speaker 4: is why they're pulling the national Guards, why they're trying 1064 00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,400 Speaker 4: to expand the number of people on ice. This is 1065 00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,080 Speaker 4: why they're pulling National Guard out to do this kind 1066 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:11,960 Speaker 4: of stuff, which that like, they don't actually have the 1067 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:16,040 Speaker 4: repressive capacity to just occupy cities and they're trying to 1068 00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,000 Speaker 4: find the manpower to be able to do it. 1069 00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,120 Speaker 3: So we will keep an eye out in September for 1070 00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:27,680 Speaker 3: these possible military deployments around the country. Yep, Hey everyone, 1071 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:31,359 Speaker 3: this is Garrison recording a short update on Thursday since 1072 00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,839 Speaker 3: we have a little bit more information about the Minneapolis, 1073 00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:40,240 Speaker 3: Minnesota school shooting.

Someone on 1076 00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:55,120 Speaker 3: Twitter found a neo Nazi forum account that they alleged 1077 00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:59,719 Speaker 3: belonged to this school shooter. This account used in nine 1078 00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:04,319 Speaker 3: A symbol and an affiliated Twitter account made other nine 1079 00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:08,520 Speaker 3: A references.

On Twitter and Blue Sky, 1081 00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,920 Speaker 3: lots of people were very eager to talk about something 1082 00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:20,920 Speaker 3: else besides that this shooter was trans and many pinned 1083 00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:24,600 Speaker 3: the blame on seven sixty four, the child exploitation group 1084 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:29,560 Speaker 3: that operates on discord and telegram that Blackmaile's children and 1085 00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:33,440 Speaker 3: encourages some to commit acts of violence like school shootings. 1086 00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:37,000 Speaker 3: I talked about seven sixty four on my Nihilist Violent 1087 00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:42,320 Speaker 3: Extremism episode from earlier this year.
