Speaker 3: performing on Howard Stern.

16
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: That is unshakeable. He was hitting the hook so the.

17
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: Ring, I mean, they knew that shit was hooky and

Speaker 2: they need the song after it They're like, and yeah, motherfucker.

19
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 3: Is talking about a shepherd is he talking about? Uh?

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: Like performing on the at the Apollo Theater And.

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: You get as I don't think those Travelers ever performed

22
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 2: at the Apollo weirdly, which is weird.

23
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: You would have expected John Popper, bro you could get

24
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: in there. You can get in there with that voice

25
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 3: and your harmonica skills.

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: Come on, now, I've talked about my kid's favorite musician,

27
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: Perry Gripp, who has a bunch of songs that are

28
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: just manufactured ear work like it seems like his music.

29
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: He used to be in a band that a lot

30
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: of people know. That's name is escaping me right now.

31
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: But when I brought him up, people like, are you

00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: talking about this guy? He's a child children's musician now

Speaker 2: he is, and his songs oh nerf hearder, Yes, his.

34
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: Songs Sillsbury Grip is his name.

35
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: His songs seem like they were manufactured by the CIA

36
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: for the purposes of like enhanced interrogation. They're hell yeah,

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: my kids fucking love them. There's one like a turtle, Turtle,

38
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: don't dump that turtle. Dam d d dum dum dude.

39
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: That's a tortoise. Turtle turtle, and I haven't stuck in

40
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: my head every morning when I wake up.

41
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 3: Turtle. That's Jerry Ferrara.

42
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 2: All right, Uh, we we introduced ourselves. Let's get into

43
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: some of the things that are trending.

44
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: Well, allow us to reintroduce ourselves.

45
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: My name is Jack oh to the b Ryan to

46
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: the all right, we're tuping in.

47
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, all kinds of trends. I mean, look, I think

48
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 3: the one let's start off with a bit of good news,

49
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: right because right now, from everything we read in the

50
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 3: words that Trump says out of his mouth, it feels

51
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: like he's gape, getting gaping, he's gaming gaping mouth, he's

52
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: gearing up to potentially never listen to a judge ever again.

53
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 3: But for the moment, some of the courts are able

54
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 3: to at the very least delay some of this bullshit

55
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: until the Supreme Court probably hears it. But for now

56
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 3: that's fine. But with specifically Trump's anti trans military band,

57
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 3: it just got fucking destroyed in court by Judge Reyes.

58
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 3: They they had the fortune of this, uh, this case

59
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 3: being heard by d C's first openly gay federal judge,

60
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 3: and she wasn't having any of this bullshit. I just

61
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 3: want to read a few excerpts from the court transcripts.

62
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: So first, it's just like again, the whole thing is

63
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: about pronouns or trans people being in the military actually

64
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 3: is bad for everything. So that's why it can't it

65
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 3: can't have That's why we need discrimination. So this is

66
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: Judge Rays, Attorney Jason Lynch absolutely absolutely be very nervous,

67
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: to be very nervous. Here we go, Judge Rays. Can

68
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 3: we agree that the greatest fighting force is not going

69
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: to be impacted in any way, in any way by

70
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: less than one percent of the soldiers using a different

71
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: pronoun than others might want to call them.

72
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: Well, now, I can't agree with that here, Okay.

73
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: Would you agree with me that if the military is

74
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: negatively impacted in any kind of way that matters from

75
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: the use of pronouns. We all have a lot of

76
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: bigger problems than pronoun use. We have a military that

77
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: is incompetent. Any common sense, rational human being knows that

78
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: it doesn't. It is pretext. It is frankly ridiculous. If

79
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: you can get me an officer of the United States

80
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 3: Military who is willing to get on the stand and

81
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 3: say that because of pronoun usage, the US military is

82
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 3: less prepared, I will be the first to give you

83
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 3: a box of cigars.

84
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: Ooh, a box of cigars. Now you're talking about language. Okay,

85
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: that wasn't in the transfer, That was not a transcript.

86
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: The judge did say, like, I'll give you ten fucking days,

87
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: go ahead, like, I'll even let you try and find

88
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 2: someone that will debase themselves in front of the court

89
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: like this.

90
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 3: Go see, go see what you got. Then went on

91
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 3: to then talking about this isn't even like half the

92
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: fucking wild ship that was coming out of this exchange.

93
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,679
Speaker 3: Another one was talking about because there's all this stuff

94
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: about quote, radical gender ideology in the executive Order. This

95
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 3: is what the judge asked Jason Lynch of the DJ

96
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 3: If you can't articulate what radical gender ideology means, how

97
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: is the Defense secretary going to know what it means.

98
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: I'm really low to speculate what the President had in

99
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: mind when he signed this order.

100
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 3: Okay, well, it's not like I randomly picked you off

101
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 3: the street. You're the government's representative here.

102
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: That's not like r.

103
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: That's here to argue that ship. Are simply could not

104
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: to speculate, countryman.

105
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, holy shit, And then goes on to just talk

106
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 3: about like the animus of all of it, and then

107
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 3: just saying like, in this executive Order, you're calling people

108
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 3: who are trained gender or have different or want to

109
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: use different pronouns described as dishonest, dishonorable, undisciplined, immodest, lack integrity,

110
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 3: like goes on to like all these things like how

111
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 3: is this like how is this not expressing animus? And

112
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: he's like, well no, and just it's like, let me

113
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 3: answer this for you, and then just continues to cook.

114
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 3: Right now, this is obviously this this is still being heard,

115
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: so we don't have any sort of conclusion to this,

116
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 3: but it feels like this is not going to go

117
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 3: the way that the transphobes wanted to. And also a

118
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: federal judge did grant a preliminary injunction because the Bureau

119
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: of Prisons was again they wanted there was another order

120
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: that would require like transgender women to be in like

121
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 3: male in like inmate facilities, and that those, thank god stopped. Yeah,

122
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: like just non stop violence.

123
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:52,679
Speaker 1: Yeah.

124
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 2: And so Trump's response to this is to write an

125
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: executive order being like I'm king, actually right, nothing applies.

126
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: I say, what the law is is that basically.

127
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 3: So that like the headlines were new Trump Executive Order

128
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 3: that only he and the Attorney General will are that

129
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 3: like basically the arbiters of what the quote law is.

130
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: And a lot of people took that because of everything.

131
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 3: And Trump is saying to mean he will decide which

132
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 3: laws apply to him and which laws do not apply

133
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 3: to him?

134
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: But what is that?

135
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, where's Rob Schneider for that comic relief next to him?

136
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 3: But anyway, what this EO is about specifically is like

137
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: basically taking away any independence from agencies like the SEC.

138
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 3: So what he's saying here is that like they will

139
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: have final say over what these agencies decide what new

140
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 3: regulations and laws are, rather than rather than these agencies

141
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 3: having the independence to do that in terms of what

142
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 3: is the best for X, Y or z. So that's

143
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: that's what he's saying. He's basically again saying, no, I

144
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,679
Speaker 3: get to tell everyone what to do. Sorry.

145
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: It really is interesting all the ways that like a

146
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: mayor's soft, like just all of the bad habits that

147
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: we've been in for the past decades, just thinking about

148
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: the Judge Dread thing that like Judge Dread is explicitly

149
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: a movie or a comic series that's about fascism, and

150
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: where Judge Dread is like bad guy, and then there

151
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: made the Hollywood movie version of it, and they're like, well,

152
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: we got to make Stallone the good guy, and so

153
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: they just make a movie about how fascism is good, right,

154
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: and that's what we have as like our main touchstone.

155
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 2: For a guy screaming I am the law?

156
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 3: Was it one of the guys, like like the one

157
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: one of the judges who had half a brain, They're like,

158
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 3: all right, you got you got to go to the

159
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: Curse of Earth. Bro. We've heard enough of you. We

160
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 3: heard enough of you.

161
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's pretty pretty bad. We've been pretty

162
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: lazy for a long time. Our ideas, the ideas we

163
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: let get through are pretty fucked right, and so I

164
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: feel like we're super set up. We've been nicely tenderized

165
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: for this fascist roasting that we're about to undergo. I

166
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: don't obviously, I'm not a chef, so I knowe that

167
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 2: culinary metaphor probably didn't make sense. But anyways, Hey, here's

168
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 2: some good news, miles. iPhone is releasing a new iPhone.

169
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: I love because it's going to be the cheapest one

170
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: that they're offering. It's got cheapest in the headline, which

171
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: might lead you to believe, wait a second, to iPhones

172
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: just get cheaper. Unfortunately, no, they did not, So Apple

173
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 2: just announced It's interesting how this is framed. Apple just

174
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 2: announced its most affordable phone will now be the iPhone

175
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: sixteen E.

176
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 3: Which will cost five hundred and ninety nine dollars in future.

177
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: Their AI system that they go AI now stands for

178
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 2: Apple Intelligence because they got a AI in the iPhone

179
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 2: and it works, It works good and never gets anything wrong.

180
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like one hundred and fifty dollars I think

181
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 3: more than the last se Yeah, of like model device,

182
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 3: like the comparable device, and they're trying to fucking wow.

183
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 3: People have been like, well, it's got AI, and yet

184
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 3: nobody fucking uses I have it, and all it does

185
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 3: is tell me weird summaries of text threads of things

186
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 3: that have happened, like our friend Daniel joined some celebrity

187
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 3: entourage when that didn't happen. But that's what the AI

188
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 3: summary said when I didn't read the texts.

189
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they just get They also summarized a series

190
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 2: of BBC News stories with this Luigi Mangione shoots himself

191
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: Syria mother hopes Hassad.

192
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: Pays the price. People are like, wait, what, huh?

193
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 2: How it shoots himself in prison? Got that incorrect, didn't

194
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: didn't quite nail it. Apple Intelligence hasn't exactly been a

195
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 2: slam dunk, but yeah, just so it's the least expensive

196
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: model currently on offer. It is forty percent more expensive

197
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: than the last introductory model, which is I think that's inflation,

198
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 2: and they are that's what we'll call it, But they're like,

199
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 2: how does this not get called inflation? They're choosing to

200
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 2: charge more because people are buying fewer iPhones. They're not

201
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: like charging for a new, better feature, Like nobody wants

202
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 2: the fucking.

203
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: Eye I have you heard?

204
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 3: It's at Apple Intelligence. You can do like fucking creepy

205
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 3: images of your kid with the Image Playground, and your

206
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 3: kid can be playing Mortal Kombat with a friend in

207
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 3: Vietnam if they wanted to.

208
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 2: Just don't understand how like what the disconnect is between

209
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 2: like stories like this where it's like, yeah, now it's

210
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: going to be forty percent more expensive, but it's the

211
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 2: least expensive model, so just think of this as inexpensive.

212
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then when.

213
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 2: People are like I think inflation might be caused by

214
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 2: corporations choosing to charge more, people like that is a

215
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: child's understanding of what inflation is, right, How do.

216
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: Are you cool?

217
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: Well?

218
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 3: I mean because I think at this point it's stories

219
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: like this and just generally looking at our own media

220
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 3: literacy in this country and what the media is doing.

221
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 3: It's not it's not real like there are journalists out there.

222
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 3: But for the most part, these are communication pr machines

223
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 3: for corporations to tell consumers what's happening in the world

224
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 3: rather than community like not, rather than things that consumers

225
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 3: think they need to know from us, like just other

226
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 3: people being like what the fuck, Like there's MSNB season,

227
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 3: Like what the fuck? Why is this thing more expensive?

228
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: This sounds like greed. They're gonna like they'll be like, wow,

229
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 3: it's got the oh I love playing with d image

230
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 3: playground all right, yeah, good story. So gazas, but are

231
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 3: gonna be a casino? Don't we love it?

232
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: Okay? Next love it folks.

233
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, look at these pool designs that they have for

234
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: a gaza. Like people are doing the research, you know,

235
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: because obviously these companies are doing research behind closed doors,

236
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: asking like man, like you're I had always assumed, Okay,

237
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: people are excited about AI. The way these corporations are acting,

238
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 2: people must be fucking psyched about AI, and so people,

239
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 2: you know, the media has like gone out and done

240
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: the polling, and the research has shown that consumers don't

241
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: give a shit about having AI.

242
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 3: And their phones.

243
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: Right, They basically their sales are down two percent from

244
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: their peak in twenty twenty two, and they need something

245
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 2: and they don't have anything else. Yeah, and so they're

246
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: just going with this thing that is contributing to climate change,

247
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: the climate catastrophe.

248
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: Pet. But yeah, Pet, like the surveys.

249
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 2: Have found, AI hasn't been a major reason that people

250
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: are buying new phones. The research director at Counterpoint Research said,

251
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 2: people are buying phones for the same reason they always have.

252
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 2: The battery isn't recharging, or the phone is aging and

253
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: not working.

254
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 3: That's yeah, just go back to your planned obsolescent model.

255
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 3: That's don't even fucking yeah, just make my phone break

256
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 3: so I have to go to the fucking store and

257
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 3: get another one because no one. Look at the polling around,

258
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 3: no one fucking wants.

259
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 2: Yeah Starty from last year found that seventy three percent

260
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 2: of iPhone users think the AI features quote add little

261
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: to no value to the product.

262
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean yeah. Brian in the chat also raised

263
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 3: the point, Yeah, like the tariffs and component costs, those

264
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 3: are going to go up, so of course they're being

265
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 3: passed along. But again that's another dimension of a store

266
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: you can bring up too. It's like, yeah, well, President

267
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 3: Aswig decided to just go fucking full on, like fuck

268
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 3: the economy up mode. That's another reason on top of

269
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 3: corporate greed is the malfeasance of the president. But anyway,

270
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 3: uh right, yes, exactly.

271
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break.

272
00:14:49,440 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: We'll be right back, and we're back. There was another

273
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: plane crash. So I do feel like we're at the

274
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 2: point with the plane crashes where we're now reporting every

275
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: plane crash. And so there was a private lane crash

276
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 2: in Arizona.

277
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 3: Messed it.

278
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they're like somebody found a screw.

279
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 2: I'm not saying definitely, the air travel has grown way

280
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: more precarious. I just want to distinguish between the commercial

281
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: air crash in d C and uh, you know, the

282
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: commercial plane flipping over after doing a belly flop in Toronto,

283
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 2: and then you know when they're private plane crashes.

284
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: I just feel like.

285
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: Those are uh more, those those were happening for the

286
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: past decade, that those hadn't been made obsolete. It the

287
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 2: whole system is a fucking disaster and is vastly underfunded

288
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: and underemployed, and they don't have enough people. And obviously

289
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 2: Trump is to blame for that, but I just also

290
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 2: want to make sure that we're viewing all the stories

291
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: in the proper context, right right, right, yeah, yeah, So

292
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: obviously never want.

293
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 3: To lay off trump Man.

294
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: To lay off Trump and let him cook with these

295
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 2: National Parks. I do just want to talk about the

296
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 2: National Parks. You know, lots of different parts of the

297
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: federal government are continuing to be dismantled by.

298
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: Trump and Musk.

299
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 2: But they just fired one thousand employees from the National Parks.

300
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 2: Then they're reinstating five thousand seasonal jobs which were rescinded

301
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 2: during last months hiring freeze, which makes sense to me

302
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 2: because it feels like they're trying to turn working for

303
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: the National Parks into like seasonal gigwork like they do

304
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: with everything.

305
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 3: It's like if they got one cushy federal job, no,

306
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 3: they should be flipping around cobbling together three two to

307
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 3: three jobs to survive.

308
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, And then our employment numbers go up, so

309
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 2: it seems like things are going well while the jobs

310
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 2: just get fucking way way worse. That's something that both

311
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: the Democrats and Republicans can agree on. Mm hmm, but yeah,

312
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 2: I mean Democrats sent a letter warning that the freeze

313
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 2: meant the national parks would be short staffed in the summer,

314
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: which would lead to potentially life threatening situations if anyone

315
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: needed medical attention. And so they're like, fine, you can

316
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 2: have these five thousand gig workers, right, And yeah, I

317
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 2: mean but people like workers at Yosemite are talking about

318
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 2: how this is going to kill the long term health

319
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: of the parks.

320
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and just the shit that they have to forego

321
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 3: because of these cuts, like they have actual they have

322
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 3: to do like burns, controlled burns to help the shit

323
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 3: from fucking erupting in flames. And they're like, we can't

324
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 3: even We had to put that off because they just

325
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 3: cut up. They just cut the money off. So now

326
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 3: we're sort of at higher risk now because of all

327
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 3: of this bullshit.

328
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, we will be more vulnerable to a catastrophic fire

329
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 2: in the future as a result of not being able

330
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 2: to do the prescribed burns. A federal firefighter with direct

331
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: knowledge of the situation set so a bit of good news,

332
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: some have theorized, and by the way, this good news

333
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 2: is completely fictional. Some have theorized that Trump's plan will

334
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 2: be to give the parks back to indigenous nations, which

335
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 2: is a good idea that activists have been pushing for

336
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: for years. Shockingly, that doesn't seem to be his actual plan.

337
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 2: He has previously announced his intention to exploit federal lands,

338
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 2: including national parks, for resources, including oil, and he's already

339
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 2: signed an executive order that allows them to do this,

340
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 2: which was easy to miss in the flurry of evil

341
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 2: executive orders.

342
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 3: That's one of the things that it is wild.

343
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 2: Though.

344
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 3: The thing about like sort of the pseudo land back

345
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 3: aspect of returning national parks to like indigenous Americans is

346
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 3: it feels like the way the language is sort of

347
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 3: presented feels like someone trying to convince a conservative to

348
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 3: do it. They're like, yeah, and then give it to

349
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 3: them because then it's going to be there fault, So

350
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 3: then maybe that'll work. I don't know, just an idea.

351
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe it's not coming from a good

352
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 3: faith place. But anyway, I'm an oil lobbyist, and can

353
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 3: you make me in charge of the Bureau of Land Management? Oh?

354
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: Yes, great, thanks, yes.

355
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 2: So the plan to like open it up to drilling

356
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: is straight out of Project twenty twenty five and specifically

357
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 2: a chapter that was written by William Perry Pendley who

358
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 2: is basically Daniel Plainview from There will be Blood.

359
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 3: Deny sue Paul Thomas Anderson because he said he was

360
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 3: completely ripping off his whole life.

361
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: That's my shit, dude, that's my duel. Shit.

362
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 3: You just I fell down a tiny mind shaft and

363
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 3: broke my arm in the opening scene.

364
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: Opening scene, I beat a guy to death with a

365
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: bowling pin.

366
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:49,719
Speaker 3: Spoiler alert.

367
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: But yeah.

368
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 2: He once argued that all public land in the West

369
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 2: should be sold off to private investors.

370
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 3: I totally shit.

371
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 2: The national parks are like one of the really good

372
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 2: things about America, like that, it's amazing that we have it.

373
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: And that's what That's really what Trump just wanted to watch.

374
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 3: There's a manifest destiny, dude. That is the sickest prize

375
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: for manifest destiny for all the fucking parks. Bruh. Yeah.

376
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 2: According to one environmentalist, this chapter of the Project twenty

377
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 2: twenty five is an oil lobbyist fever dream straight out

378
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 2: of the nineteenth century. Pendley was Trump's acting director of

379
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 2: the Bureau of Land Management from twenty nineteen to twenty

380
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 2: twenty one, and he was so corrupt that his list

381
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 2: of quote potential conflicts was seventeen pages long, and a

382
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 2: judge ruled he was occupying the position illegally, but he

383
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 2: refused to leave.

384
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 3: No squatting. Okay, okay, yeah yeah. The new BLM director

385
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 3: again Bureau of Land Management is Kathleen Scamma. I thought

386
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 3: it said Schmegma Scamma, and again currently the president of

387
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 3: an oil and gas lobbying firm. So I don't yeah, yeah,

388
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 3: uh huh. We'll see what happens there.

389
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: We'll see what again.

390
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 2: It's like national parks are It's not just me saying

391
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 2: national parks are nice to have.

392
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: They're hugely popular.

393
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 2: So like when families start rolling up to parks only

394
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 2: to find that they're like just full of oil drills,

395
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 2: like pump jacks and like and on fire, maybe that

396
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: will move the needle for Trump.

397
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 3: But I don't know.

398
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 2: We're so deep into the President Biff timeline from Back

399
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 2: to the Future too. I just feel like we're everyone's

400
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 2: just like.

401
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 3: Okay, there's not gonna be a moment where you're gonna

402
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 3: be able to look at MAGA and say, dude, look

403
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 3: what this folded? Now?

404
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: Do you get it?

405
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 3: No, the human ego prevents that from happening, especially people

406
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 3: who are this all in on their backwards idea, Like

407
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 3: they're not going to fucking see the light like that

408
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 3: at all. I don't, I'm at least I'm not convinced

409
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 3: of that. I think it's because they're just gonna find

410
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 3: a way to say that it's fucking anyone but their fault,

411
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 3: or anyone but Trump's fault, it's Joe Biden. Well, actually this,

412
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 3: if you could, you could trace this back to Bill Clinton.

413
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 3: There's always some weird you know, uh, casual cliche, thought

414
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 3: killing cliche they can like you know, lean on to

415
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 3: completely just pivot away from arriving at the truth. And

416
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 3: I think, sadly, I think maybe it's really only this

417
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 3: I don't even know how many people, because you even

418
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 3: think about people who had family members die of COVID

419
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 3: and that just made them go harder in the other direction,

420
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 3: like rather than being like, holy shit, I can't believe

421
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 3: what's happened. Like my concern here too is even the

422
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 3: people that are getting affected by the backwards policies of

423
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 3: Trump will find a way to say, actually, this was

424
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 3: a win for me. But I don't know, I mean,

425
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 3: it's it's usually been not at the scale of you

426
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 3: have no job, you have no medication? Yeah, now can

427
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 3: you can you? Does that maga hat bring your A

428
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 3: one C to the proper levels? I don't know, yeah,

429
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 3: but I think you're right.

430
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 2: I mean, they still haven't even admitted they lost the

431
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: Civil War or that they were wrong about the Civil War,

432
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 2: So I feel like that's that's probably not going to

433
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 2: admit they're wrong about the election that they actually won.

434
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 3: I think it's like a hard experience, maybe the only

435
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 3: teacher that people are going to understand or somehow find

436
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 3: a way to communicate to them in a way that

437
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 3: isn't as like in this same vernac like this political

438
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 3: lexicon that they're so used to seeing, and like that

439
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 3: immediately shuts their brains off and to get people again

440
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 3: more interested in class than politics because the politics route,

441
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 3: you're not going to get there logically at all. And

442
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure you know you saw a moment of it

443
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 3: with Luigi Mangioni. You saw a moment of it. But

444
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 3: then Fox really turned up the heat on that, and

445
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 3: now a lot of conservatives are like, yeah, he did

446
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 3: it because the lap is making people fucking wacky. That's right,

447
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 3: all right.

448
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,719
Speaker 2: Those are some of the things that are trending on

449
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 2: this Wednesday, February nineteenth.

450
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 3: We are back tomorrow with.

451
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 2: A whole last episode of the show, really fun one.

452
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 2: Until then, he kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,

453
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 2: get the vaccines where you still can, get your flail shot,

454
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 2: don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk

455
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 2: to you tomorrow.

456
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 3: Bye bye
