WEBVTT - Breakdown of Davis Aurini's Matrix 4 Review 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.120 Welcome to Worst Year Ever, A production of I Heart 0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:22.200 Radio Welcome to Get Everything. So don don ah what 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:29.840 oh are we are we singing? Cody just Um, it's 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:36.320 a day today is a day of days, not of 0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:40.519 the weekend. But you might be listening to this on 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.920 the weekend. Do people listen to our show on the weekend? 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:54.000 You can't know steal beams. Nine eleven wasn't inside John O. J. 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:58.120 Simpson flew those planes into that tower speaking in nine eleven, 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:03.240 Gilbert Godfrey died Wait what yeah, he just died just 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:10.560 now after a long yeah years old. Can you explain 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:16.120 why that joke is so Gilbert Godfried? When people we 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.200 have a decent number of folks who are younger who 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:21.120 were either not born when nine eleven happens happened or 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:24.720 were too young to remember it, everyone lost their mind 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:29.440 to a degree that like is not understandable or fair. People. 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.400 People went completely fucking insane, and it's part of why 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.280 so many terrible things were done. And there was this 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:39.760 like fascist e religious significance lint to nine eleven and 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:45.200 the deaths that justified just outrageous crimes across the globe. Um, 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.880 And you couldn't like talk about it without referring to 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:52.360 it like the Crucifixion of Christ. For years it was 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.920 just a really fucked up the way in which nine 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:59.080 eleven went down in our collective memory. And Gilbert Godfried, 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.800 God bless him, day after nine eleven gets up and says, 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.040 you know what, I gotta get back to work, and 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.560 he goes up on stage, does his stand up and 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:11.240 just just jokes about nine eleven like right after the 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.960 and and gets canceled for it doesn't work for like 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:17.840 a decade. Um just blown out of the water. But 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.440 by god, he was ahead of the curve because now 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:24.240 we all joke about nine eleven. It's the funniest thing 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:27.760 in the world because it has to be NonStop laugh 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:36.560 when seriously, we killed a million people. M hm h 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.720 you hard, Yeah, that's sad um it is it is. 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.000 He was a very talented Comedian's very funny, and it 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:46.000 seems like a nice man. His uh yeah, his nine 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.359 eleven so was very funny. His his Aristocrats stuff is 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:52.639 very funny. What did he what did he say? What 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.240 is his nine eleven stuff? Just a bunch of nine 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.720 eleven jokes, just a bunch of really good nine eleven jokes. 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.760 I mean, you can find if you have to catch 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:03.679 I have to catch a flight to California. I can't 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:05.840 get flight. They said, they have to stop at the 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:18.079 Empire State Building first. What a hero, Yeah, he knew. 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.840 He's like I if I am, if I do the 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:27.280 worst jokes possible, then eventually people will start laughing. M Anyway, 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:31.760 that's a bumber. What else is a bummer? A long 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.200 illnesses all His family said he'd apparently been sick for 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:39.200 quite some time. What else? A gunman wearing a gas 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.119 mask set off a smoke bomb and shot ten people 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:45.560 in a New York subway car. Yes, the jokes don't 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:52.160 stop coming. Yes, the yucks. Um, it looks like developing story. 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.840 But yeah, yeah, as of the moment, it's unclear if 0:03:55.880 --> 0:04:00.240 anyone died. Um. That very likely may have changed by 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:04.000 the time you hear this episode. Hopefully not. I'm I'm 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.200 looking at right now. The most recent stuff we have 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:10.680 is UM five people in like critical but stable condition, 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:14.120 and I guess six others injured by shrapnel from bullets 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.800 and other sources. Who knows what that is. Sometimes bullets 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.279 go through people, or fragments of them break off or something. 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:25.800 Hopefully no people will die. Um. Obviously, there's apparently been 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:29.280 kind of an increase in or at least the narrative 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:33.320 that's forming is that like crime is surging, uh in 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.480 in New York's public transit, and you know, we got 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.200 to add more cops, which we don't. That would not 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.320 have solved this. And I can say that because they 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:47.599 just added a thousand cops to patrol. They have a 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.440 ten billion dollar budget, which is larger than the military 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.880 budget of the nation of Ukraine, if I'm not mistaken. 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:57.200 It's so frustrating when they spin this around, um as 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:01.520 some sort of indictment of defund the police. Uh, when 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:06.039 we have not defunded the fucking police. There were so 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.480 many cops in the subways and they didn't do anything. 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:15.200 Military harassed vendors, and the harassed vendors and homeless people, 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:22.080 people who like jump over the turn some tickets. One 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.600 report of a cop who came on the scene and 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.320 asked someone for their cell phone because his radio didn't 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:31.960 work to call in the shooting. So um. But yeah, 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.960 I mean, they just added a thousand fucking officers. One 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:36.800 of the things they promised that there would always be 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.279 an officer at like every stop. Um U. It seems 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:45.080 like it doesn't matter if someone's going to do a thing. UM, 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:49.520 we don't yet know. Obviously, we'll talk about Biden's made 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.359 a new gun control kind of push. We don't know 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.400 yet the degree to which, like this was an illegal 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.919 or illegally owned firearm or what kind of gun. It 0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:01.599 was no way to know UM at this age. At 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:06.400 the moment, the perpetrator, who's described as a blackmail with 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.200 a heavy build wearing a green construction type vest in 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.640 a hooded sweatshirt, UM has not been caught. Also, that 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.680 may not be the guy's description a lot of One 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:17.560 of the things to note is in the immediate wake 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.760 of this, there were claims of explosive devices left behind 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.200 and claims of multiple shooters, which is the case with 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.200 basically every mass shooting, and it's almost never the case. 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.680 There's almost never unexploded devices, and there's almost never a 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:33.320 second shooter. But when there is a shooting, people generally 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:36.760 who are on set generally tend to feel that like, 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:38.320 oh my god, there was more than there were a 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.640 bunch of shooters or whatever, or it was a machine 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.440 any understandable people like people are not used to being 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.440 shot at in a panic. I'm not putting any blame 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:49.480 on them. It's just as a consumer of media, when 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.479 you hear initial reports from a shooting like that, take 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:56.679 them with a heavy grain of salt, because every any shooting, Yeah, 0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:00.200 I like almost like was like, didn't suggest we even 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:04.720 bring this up because it's as the information comes in, Yeah, 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:09.040 at least like at least wait a day, yeah. Yeah. 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.560 And it's like some of the reporting is saying that 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.920 the New York City Police are not investigating this as 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.280 an act of terrorism. I found I've read other stuff 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.640 that says, well, no, they think it might be. They 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:20.640 just don't know enough yet to say if it was, 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.520 which seems totally fair, you know, not not that I'm 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.960 like that seems like it's reasonable to say, like, yeah, 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:28.800 we have no idea why this happened yet, of course 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.960 you don't. It's just people. It just happened. Yeah. And 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:37.880 also like, what's yeah, the operating definition of terrorism something 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.360 like this isn't this isn't a case of classic terrorism, 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.160 Like so I don't, like, how do you know? You 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:46.800 don't yet? Shut up? Maybe it is maybe, well classic terrorism? 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:52.200 What does that mean? Does that mean? Brown is a 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.440 religious based. I don't know what they meant by that, 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:59.000 but um, I don't know the people shot subway. It 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.720 seems a little terrifying. Yeah, it sucks. It's real bad. 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.640 It's definitely bad. I think we can pretty safely say 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:10.240 it is. It's bad. Um, but nobody knows. One of 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:14.760 the witnesses went straight to work right after. Oh and 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:22.679 Uber put surge pricing in Outside of us they shared? 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:28.400 Did they shared? Did? That's just fucking disgusting. Um, talk 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:33.800 to us about shadow bands and shadow guns, banning shadows? 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:38.800 Oh you mean ghost ghost gunshot guns? Again, this is 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:42.280 the like when Democrats talk about guns, they always get 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:45.600 a lot wrong. Um, which doesn't is an argument, is 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:47.920 not an argument against policy. It's just like, well they 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.079 don't they don't physically understand the devices that they're talking 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.600 about generally. And that's so first, let me explain to you, 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.720 like what ghost guns are, because they're actually not one 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:01.440 thing when Biden talks about them. The specific thing that 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.560 he's banned is there are kits that you can buy 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:08.439 online that include basically what's called an eight percent lower. 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.880 So like I've like I have a bunch of a 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.120 R fifteens, right, Um, I could take any one of 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.560 my A R fifteens and I could go online or 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.320 with a three D printer, I could print out pieces 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.720 to put around the barrel that I could attach stuff 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:26.120 like a scope to or a light to. Um I 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:28.319 could make a new stock. Right that I could. I 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:29.920 could take off the olds to put that stock on. 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.760 That stuff is not regulated. Right, A stock is not 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:36.040 a gun. You don't have to give your background or anything. 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:37.280 You don't have to like give your I D. You 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:39.280 can just go buy a stock or whatever and put 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.079 it on a gun. Right, that makes sense. It's a 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.600 piece of furniture. You can't kill somebody with a stock. 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.560 But because guns are so modular and you can take 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.640 pieces off of them and replace them with other pieces, 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.040 the government has had to define what part of the 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.760 gun is the gun because when you buy a gun 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.079 in most of the United States, discounting places like Texas 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.640 where things like face to face sales are legal, when 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:03.959 you buy a gun, you have to go through a 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:05.640 background check. Right, you have to fill out a form 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.640 four four seven three. UH. You have to say that 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:12.160 you're not on drugs or you know a felon or whatever, 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.080 and they do a background check to make sure some 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.120 of that's true. And the background check system is also flawed, 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:18.480 but we don't need to get into that right now. 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.160 But in order to make that whole system possible, they 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.000 have to define what part of the gun is the gun. 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.040 And for something like an A R fifteen, because it 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.400 varies from gun to gun, this is all very complicated. 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.160 For something like an A R fifteen and for most 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.920 similar modern weapons, it's a piece called the lower receiver. 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.600 And the lower receiver is kind of if you look 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.080 at a picture of an A R fifteen, the middle 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.760 piece of the gun, the bottom half of that middle 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:45.880 piece basically is the thing that is legally the gun, 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.679 and it's basically there's nothing in it, Like you can 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.720 buy a lower receiver that is incapable of harming anyone, 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:54.000 is anything but a club. But the lower receiver is 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.200 what you put a bunch of springs and the trigger 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.800 into and stuff, and then you attach the upper receiver 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:00.520 and like a barrel to that, and then you have 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:02.800 a functional gun. But the only part of it that 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:04.800 is a gun for the purposes of regulation is the 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:10.600 lower receiver. Um some people realized because the way guns 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.640 are so because gun laws are generally written by people 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.520 who don't understand guns. They're they're they're pretty poorly written. 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.160 A good example of this would be since the bootlegger days, 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:22.960 sought off shotguns are illegal, right unless you get it 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.520 something called a tax stamp and go through a special process. 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.920 You cannot have a shotgun that is shorter than a 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.679 specific length. I think it's a twenty six inches or something. 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:32.800 Don't quote me on that, but there's a specific length 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:36.679 under with which a shotgun cannot be right, But you 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:38.679 can go to a store and basically any state in 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.280 the nation, including California, and you can buy what is 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.000 effectively a sought off shotgun. It is identical to a 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.720 sought off shotgun, it functions identically to a sought off shotgun, 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.640 but it is not legally a shotgun, and thus it 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.640 is not specially regulated, and so it's just a normal 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:54.160 gun and you don't need an extra thing to buy 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:58.040 it because in the law, a a shotgun is defined 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.640 as a gun with is a weapon with bore, weapon 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.600 with a stock, So they just never made these with stocks. 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:05.839 It just has a pistol grip and it's super short. 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.120 So a gun that would be if you were just 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.599 to take the same weapon, but it had it was 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:13.400 made with a stock, and you were to replace that 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.760 stock with a pistol grip, you've committed a felony. But 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:17.600 if you buy it with a pistol grip and it's 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:19.680 only ever had a pistol grip, then it's not a 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.000 shotgun and it's just a normal gun and it's fine. 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.080 So again that doesn't make any sense, right, It's very silly. 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.480 So all sorts of loopholes like this exists, and the 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:33.280 ghost guns that Biden regulated recently um exist in this 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:36.719 kind of gray area where people were taking lower receivers 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.360 and making them. But there's like two holes in a 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.600 lower two or three holes in a lower receiver that 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:43.600 you need to have drilled into it in order to 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:45.680 put the pieces into it that make it into a gun. 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:49.240 And if the lower receiver doesn't have those holes, it's 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.640 not legally a gun. So companies were making what we're 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.000 called eight lower receivers, which is the lower receiver with 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.760 everything but those holes, and they would sell them with 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:00.800 a parts kit and with a k to make those 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.520 holes and put them in the lower receiver to make 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:05.920 it into a gun, and then it's effectively a gun. 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:07.880 But you can just send it in the mail to 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.280 who the funk ever, because it's not legally a gun. Right, 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.520 So that's one kind of ghost gun. There's a number 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:15.880 of Like you can also three D print a lower receiver, 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.240 and that's also technically a ghost gun in the way 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:22.760 that fall what Biden's talking. Biden has not regulated three 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:26.720 D printed arms now. He has specifically banned these kits 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.720 that people were selling, right, So that's the thing that 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.800 has been regulated just now. There's another thing. The a 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.120 t F also released kind of a new definition of 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.440 what a silencer is. We don't need to get into that. 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:39.600 It's still like, even as a gun guy, it's unclear 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.480 to me exactly what they've done because the language on 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:44.840 this kind of stuff is often so like arcane and weird. 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.440 Gun nerds are still kind of actually trying to figure 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.719 out what that particularly means. But all that has been 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.079 done right now is this one specific kind of thing 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.319 that people call a ghost gun. You can't sell anymore. 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.280 I mean you can still sell those kits, but they're 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.640 now regulated as firearms, so will have to fill out 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.959 a four four seven three into a background check and stuff. Right, 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:09.000 That's all that's happened. It's it. That's all that's happened. Guys. 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:13.200 That's a big the It's not going to do anything. 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.560 I don't it's not going to do anything. It's a 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:19.520 minor gesture, which is not a bad gesture, but it's 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.560 not going to do anything, and it does not pertain 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.400 to the issue. And yeah, it's not a it's not 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.840 I don't think it's going to is likely to save 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:30.120 any lives. Um, I don't. It's not something I'm hugely 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:34.120 concerned about particularly either. But it's it's also just like 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:37.840 as the president, he has the ability to do this thing, 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.720 whereas other gun control regulation you have to like Congress 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.800 and stuff has to be involved. So this was a 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.000 thing that he could do right in order to say 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:48.200 that I'm taking action on on gun violence, you know. 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.480 So that that's why this was done. It is because 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.600 there's not much he can do about anything at all. Yeah, yeah, 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.040 as the especially about guns, because there's you know, Constitution 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:58.920 and stuff like, this was the thing he could do 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.200 to say I've taken action and on ghost guns because 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.880 it's a thing that scares people. I don't expect it's 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:07.240 going to have a huge impact on anything. Um, it 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:12.160 seems like the start of because again it's mid terms, right, 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.440 It's midterm right. Uh, So like he's done this and 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:21.160 also has started to speak up about gun regulation and 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:25.480 like universal background checks, like the things that never get done. 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:29.520 So it seems like I'll do I'll do this, I'll 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:31.960 do this, talk about the things that we could do, 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:35.680 but we just need more people, uh in Congress. Well, 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:41.920 and you know, there's a number of things that are like, uh, 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.520 frustrating about this from just a pragmatic point of view, 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.680 because like there's a bunch of articles coming out right 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.200 now that Biden has the least support among young people 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:54.440 of a Democratic president and like our fucking lifetimes, um, 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:57.720 and it doesn't seem to be he's not They don't 0:15:57.720 --> 0:15:59.800 seem to have any idea how to fix it, and 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.560 that clearly are talking to the wrong people. That the 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:06.280 things that young people want is like forgive student loans, 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:11.880 give us fucking something on healthcare literally, and release people 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:16.080 from prison right and legalized the thing in the world 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:18.160 that's the easiest thing in the world. We would all 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.440 be excited. You don't even have to do anything about 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:26.120 Democrats would be excited about that. Not everything very frustrated 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.400 by um, all of the conversations around this and seeing 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:34.640 what's happening. You know, we've talked about it, but yeah, 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:38.000 Democratic voters are fucking apathetic young people, all of us 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.800 right now, the real progressives, the people that want it done, 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.200 because all we've seen over the past couple of years 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:47.280 is a person stepping back from his campaign promises and 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:51.680 the Democratic Party incapable of winning any kind of a fight, 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.960 messaging any not doing or saying the right things, and 0:16:56.000 --> 0:17:00.120 instead walking back. Right now, right now, we are facing 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:04.119 all this, these these huge energy questions, and instead of 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:09.240 turning to green energy, we're we're looking for oil in 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:12.480 other places, releasing oil reserves. If you're going to do that, 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.159 at least say also what we're gonna do is invest 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:17.919 in these technologies. Make a case as to why we 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:22.560 have got to stop depending on on on foreign oil, 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.560 on oil in general. How would this this can't it's 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:29.280 not sustainable. No, there's not doing anything. He's not doing 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:32.520 anything like that. He's just capitulating and for and and 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:37.840 pretending like you never said it, um, And I'm sick 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:39.359 of it. I don't know, I don't know. Why do 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:41.159 we keep voting for people that aren't going to do 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:45.800 ship because they very accurately say, well, your other choice 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.720 is a guy who said he wants to murder you. Yeah, 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:53.040 and you know, and I tweeted this and like, people 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.639 don't necessarily agree with me. But I was just in 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.160 the mountains for the weekend and talked to a lot 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:01.000 of conservative people who have why range they care about 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:05.160 issues or whatever, they can care about climate change. Everybody 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:08.159 I talked to does, and I'm link I don't know 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:11.159 that the Republican Party ever will. But if they decided to, 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:14.440 if they decided to make it a thing like yep, 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:18.040 we're gonna make new jobs with green technology and and 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:21.159 we're gonna do this, motherfucker, everybody would vote for them. 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:23.600 Because Den's won't do it. You don't have the background 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:29.240 for a long time. It's so because again, you have 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:31.560 number one, these issues that are very popular among the 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:33.720 young people. The Democrats are trying to offer, one of 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:36.760 which is at least simple fucking change, even if you 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:39.000 can't get it through Congress because the Republicans decided to 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:42.040 be dicks. You can ram Republicans for being dicks, and 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.040 Biden can order the d e A to alter the schedule, 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.600 like their ship. He can do as president that will 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:50.320 at least reduce the degree to which people are getting 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:54.960 fucked for because of pot stuff. Um. Meanwhile, like he's 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:57.480 I don't know this, like the gun stuff. Part of 0:18:57.600 --> 0:18:59.800 part of why it's frustrating is that this is not 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.159 to deal with the problems, the very real problems of 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:06.160 gun violence. Um. Because again there's four million fucking guns 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:09.920 in this country. Uh, and you know there there they 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:14.240 will remain very available after this, as will ghost guns. Um. 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:16.280 But another part of the issue is just that like 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:21.320 as a tactical move, gun control support is the lowest 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:26.160 it's been uh in like a decade. Um. For some 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:28.640 for some information, like how that's changed. In two dos 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:32.840 nineteen of Americans told Gallop they wanted stricter gun laws, 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:38.119 and in November of Americans said they wanted stricter gun laws. 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:40.359 Like it's it's plummeted, and it's plummeted, particularly among a 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:42.520 lot of young people for a variety of reasons. We 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:44.560 don't need to make a big gun control argument here. 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:48.560 That's certainly not my intention, but it's just worth noting 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:54.080 that like this is contentious and not super effective and 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:57.280 provides AMMO to Republicans as opposed to do something, Moe 0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:02.199 fucking pot. Bro, it's the easiest, it's the and you 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:05.439 know what, you know what, it'll save more lives if 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:08.000 you consider people thrown in prison for years and years 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:11.600 and years to be like loss of life. It will 0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:14.119 save more lives. Just fucking do it, bro. No one 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:18.960 else is going to save some more lives. Robert the 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:31.520 Washington State High Patrol. Maybe, but these ads together everything, 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:40.640 Oh yeah, boy, Yes, we did a break, we did 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:45.320 some talking and we're back. We're back. We're back now. 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:48.200 Now you what do you want to talk about? Davis 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:54.760 Sereni The truth about parajuana, the violent drug. Oh gosh, yeah, 0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:56.920 I have been seeing there have been some very fun 0:20:56.960 --> 0:21:00.600 posts of people trying to revive pot panic. That's always 0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:06.160 a hoot. It's the they call it the Devil's uh gun. Yeah, 0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:09.240 there's I like when people try to point out that, like, well, 0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:11.919 you know, people have withdrawal symptoms from pot and it 0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:14.239 is addictive, It's like, yeah, motherfucker, you know what else 0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:17.080 is addictive? Fucking cross fit. We don't throw people into 0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:21.840 prison for doing it. Um, you know what's addictive? Driving 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:24.800 too fast on your motorcycle. We don't. Well, I guess 0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:26.840 you do throw some people in prison in there, but 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:33.480 it's whatever, you know, it's addictive little glowing shapes and 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:35.639 colors that you have to match up, and then when 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.800 they match up, you get little coins, little artiitial coins, 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.000 and the dings go off and it says, be a 0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:42.919 good job, and then you play the next level and 0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:44.840 you keep going and going and going. A lot of 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:50.399 things are addictive. Maybe maybe human beings, uh, I can't 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:55.560 exist without addictions to some extent. It's just figuring out 0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:58.480 which ones are you can continue to be a productive 0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:02.800 human being and a good member of your family. An 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:06.199 empathetic way of looking at things, Robert, Yeah, simple, it 0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:09.040 is that we all maybe have a struggle and we 0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:13.000 have something that we rely on, but we judge or 0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:20.480 um incarceerate people for being human especially Yeah, anyway, I 0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:25.560 don't know how we how we feeling. Folks do think 0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:31.680 that we should talk about the matrix resurrections. Who wants 0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:37.240 to want what we're about to do? I haven't seen 0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:41.119 this movie, so I will preface this by saying I 0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:44.399 have yet to see the I have a pretty fun movie. Okay, 0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:47.280 so the only one that's seen this movie. Perfect because 0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:49.560 I'll have questions for you throughout this. So this I 0:22:49.560 --> 0:22:51.840 don't know if our listeners are aware of. There's a 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:58.879 guy an He also goes by Leo. Okay, yeah, okay, 0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:00.960 I do yeah, so you might know him as as 0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:07.600 David uh David m j riney. Um. Anyway, do you 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:09.520
