Speaker 1: Media. All right, First of all, my bad about last
Speaker 1: week with confusing Dutch and Danish, and it seems like
Speaker 1: I didn't catch myself till the end of the thing,
Speaker 1: but it mixed up my white people. My bad and
Speaker 1: shout out for y'all being gracious to me. Yeah, Dutch
Speaker 1: ain't Danish. Danish ain't Dutch.
Speaker 2: Good politics.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, y'all.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, who hasn't texted the wrong person?
Speaker 2: Oops? Wrong text a? Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: First of all, the group chat is sacred. This is
Speaker 1: internationally known. Everyone who has ever participated in a group
Speaker 1: chat knows. We all know in the depths of our
Speaker 1: souls that if anything in this group chat has ever
Speaker 1: got out, our families, our careers, our children's perception of us,
Speaker 1: our friendship destroyed. I would argue that the group chat
Speaker 1: is the last sacred space on earth.
Speaker 2: This is where you get.
Speaker 1: To have all your debauchery, You get to be devolved,
Speaker 1: share the dankest of memes because you know it's sacred,
Speaker 1: and everybody in it understands with the equal amount of
Speaker 1: debauchery that we have all put into this thing, we
Speaker 1: all understand that this cannot come out. But you've been
Speaker 1: added to a group chat before, and when you get
Speaker 1: added to a group chat, why was you not like,
Speaker 1: let me first make sure I know everybody's number in it.
Speaker 1: And if you don't know, let's say it was a
Speaker 1: work group chat, you'd be like, Yo, this is prop,
Speaker 1: I'm the six two sixth number. Everybody say who they
Speaker 1: are so we could save you save your numbers. At
Speaker 1: some point you do that in the group chat, and
Speaker 1: if somebody don't do it, you hit the person you
Speaker 1: know directly. Have y'all never been in a group chat
Speaker 1: and be like, yo, who's the Hey, who's the nine
Speaker 1: or nine number?
Speaker 2: Like who added in?
Speaker 1: Because I'm not finna, just start talking if I don't
Speaker 1: know everybody in the group, especially the one that ain't
Speaker 1: introduced themselves, who don't double check? Now, if you was
Speaker 1: adding in a group and you don't know anybody, like
Speaker 1: none of the numbers, you might be like, oh, maybe
Speaker 1: this was a mistake, and what do you do? You
Speaker 1: lurk to see who wouldn't lurk? You just you never
Speaker 1: like you just never know. This might be dope, or
Speaker 1: you might be like this ain't none of my business
Speaker 1: and you just dip out. I've been added the group
Speaker 1: text on accident, and I realized, like, either A, this
Speaker 1: is spam or B. Y'all probably meant another prop or
Speaker 1: another Jason, but I'll usually hit that person directly, like, YO,
Speaker 1: would you trying to add me? Have you ever back
Speaker 1: when voice messages voicemail was a thing. You even had
Speaker 1: somebody acted like pocket like butt dial you and then
Speaker 1: you hear them talking. And one time I asked somebody
Speaker 1: butt dial me and they was on a date and
Speaker 1: they ended up and they was talking trash about me.
Speaker 1: I got forty five minutes of them talking trash about me.
Speaker 1: But this is why you double check. And the stakes
Speaker 1: that we talk about is maybe a little bit of embarrassment,
Speaker 1: maybe some repercussions at work, but at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, everybody knows you don't let this get out
Speaker 1: because this is sacred. So it would be safe to
Speaker 1: assume that we all agree that the stakes maybe relatively
Speaker 1: are low, but they're high enough to double check. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I might lose a job, but let's just say this
Speaker 1: group check required the highest of security clearances that our
Speaker 1: country has the offer. How come nobody was like, yo,
Speaker 1: who's the two O two number?
Speaker 2: Politics?
Speaker 3: Y'alls text.
Speaker 1: Y'all, welcome to the who They's PC group chat small group, y'all.
Speaker 2: Listen.
Speaker 1: If it wasn't so not funny, this would be the
Speaker 1: funniest four years that this country has ever off to
Speaker 1: after if it wasn't so oh, I don't know, Nazish,
Speaker 1: if it wasn't so fast. Yeah, So that abrupt, stopped
Speaker 1: and outfit change that you're seeing right now on your
Speaker 1: screen is we're hearing right now in your headphones. Is
Speaker 1: the sights and sounds of a person who exported this
Speaker 1: video wrong, and it only exported the first five minutes
Speaker 1: of the show. And then last night, as in the
Speaker 1: night before this was going to get edited, deleted the
Speaker 1: original files from his hard drive because he was just
Speaker 1: trying to make expect that is the sight and sound
Speaker 1: that you are witnessing right now. I can't be more frustrated.
Speaker 1: I don't know this has been This is Tuesday morning, okay,
Speaker 1: this is the morning that Matt mixes and Masters needs
Speaker 1: to go out on Wednesday.
Speaker 2: I try to have it to him.
Speaker 1: By Monday afternoon so that we can do all the
Speaker 1: tweaks and stuff like that right now.
Speaker 2: But somehow I get to now model.
Speaker 1: The behavior that I wish our senators would give, which
Speaker 1: is not just our senators, I mean our top five.
Speaker 1: God damn it. I need to find freaking notes to
Speaker 1: my bad That's all I'm saying. I don't know why
Speaker 1: these people couldn't just be like, you know what, we
Speaker 1: fucked up, We royally royally, just we fucked up.
Speaker 2: Guys. Listen, Jason, my name is Jason.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, prop is like, that's the
Speaker 1: nickname that I got when I was thirteen.
Speaker 2: But Jason born of janis I fucked up.
Speaker 1: I deleted these files knowing full well, and I'm telling
Speaker 1: you y'all, my practice is to don't delete files that
Speaker 1: till the episode come out, just in case your boy
Speaker 1: didn't do it this time, because I thought I needed
Speaker 1: hard drive space.
Speaker 2: God dog.
Speaker 1: And you know what the thing is like, if you've
Speaker 1: ever recorded something, you get it, it's never gonna be
Speaker 1: as good as you remember. This version that you're about
Speaker 1: to hear right now that I'm gonna try to go
Speaker 1: back and find my notes on, it ain't ever gonna
Speaker 1: be as good as the one. O Lord, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: pull up my notes now because I was at least
Speaker 1: wise enough to throw the notes into the Google doc
Speaker 1: rather than just crack jokes with y'all. Ah, man, I've
Speaker 1: never been I'm so frustrated right now. I was.
Speaker 2: I was googling how to like how do you empty
Speaker 2: the trash?
Speaker 1: And I know some of you, like, uh, some of
Speaker 1: you computer nerds would probably know how to tell me
Speaker 1: how to get into my deleted files. But I'm like,
Speaker 1: at this point, you might as well just re recorded.
Speaker 1: So here we are, Matt, Oh lord, cue the theme music.
Speaker 1: All right, here we go, God dog, I still feel
Speaker 1: that pit that butterflies. I feel that, I still feel
Speaker 1: that pit in my stomach, the pit for which these
Speaker 1: men should have felt when they realized what they was doing. Now,
Speaker 1: what I'm assuming is you already noticed because it has
Speaker 1: been all of a matter of fact, what sucks about
Speaker 1: this world we in is like y'all have moved on
Speaker 1: from this. The memes are already incredible. One of the
Speaker 1: dopest memes I saw was the picture from a Succession
Speaker 1: when whole Boy kept sending the Dick pics to his
Speaker 1: like basically his play Auntie, and then he realized he
Speaker 1: just got caught and he was doing the McCaulay Culkin
Speaker 1: little brother. I love that we've embraced the Maculkin family.
Speaker 1: There's a guy in my church that looked just like
Speaker 1: one of them, but I'm too shy to ask him
Speaker 1: because he looks so much like him.
Speaker 2: And if he's not that he's like bro. People probably
Speaker 2: say that all the time.
Speaker 1: Y'all see this box of toilet paper right here or
Speaker 1: this if you looking at this video, This is how
Speaker 1: thrown off I am.
Speaker 2: Normally because the doc zp.
Speaker 1: Refer to her by her prefix uses the office, which
Speaker 1: is my little recording studio as also storage, so I
Speaker 1: usually try to move this stuff off camera. But I'm
Speaker 1: so flustered right now from the reality of this situation
Speaker 1: I'm in.
Speaker 2: Which again I hope reflex.
Speaker 1: The hearts and minds of the PC small group at
Speaker 1: this point, because the news move so fast, you should
Speaker 1: already know what happened, bruh in some of the messiest,
Speaker 1: sloppiest like I don't understand, I don't understand how at
Speaker 1: the stakes that they're at that they wasn't more careful.
Speaker 1: Now y'all listening, listen, I just do podcasts, so these
Speaker 1: steaks are not that high. Okay, I'm gonna miss a meeting.
Speaker 1: Matt's gonna have to stay up later. Ian's gonna have
Speaker 1: to scramble. The stakes aren't that high. Let's just say
Speaker 1: this was an actual group text, and maybe you was
Speaker 1: talking trash about your boss. Maybe you had sent a
Speaker 1: few pitches from the gym that you know you wasn't
Speaker 1: posted to take of some of the nice, pretty round browns.
Speaker 2: That's what my whole boy used to call pooties. But
Speaker 2: you see how I.
Speaker 1: Don't really talk like that, but you talk like that
Speaker 1: in the group text because you understand this is mutual destruction,
Speaker 1: this is nuclear You post a double check that they're
Speaker 1: trust inside the group text. Don't we all notice? Don't
Speaker 1: we all notice? But alas, I'm gonna leave this in
Speaker 1: the video. Normally I would edit this out. This is
Speaker 1: Matt texting me being like, Yo, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: He said, do you use dropbox? Pro?
Speaker 1: Might be start saving episodes so you could keep the files.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna text him right now and tell them what
Speaker 1: I just text, y'all. I normally don't throw files away
Speaker 1: until until the episode is out. I just got to
Speaker 1: sloppy last night.
Speaker 2: I didn't even drink.
Speaker 1: I mean, like I I was standing in solidarity for
Speaker 1: most of this month with the two of the three
Speaker 1: mono theists religions that.
Speaker 2: You know fast right now you feel me.
Speaker 1: I was standing here in solidarity with with with my
Speaker 1: brothers and sisters in Ramadan, and I was pushing my
Speaker 1: flesh away, so I wasn't even distracted. I just did
Speaker 1: some dumb shit. But when you do dumb shit, my
Speaker 1: people again back to my point, you just you you
Speaker 1: did some dumb shit.
Speaker 2: It is what it is.
Speaker 1: But this particular situation, if you don't know, the narrative,
Speaker 1: was dumb shit that could cause lives.
Speaker 2: Now let's get to it.
Speaker 1: If you don't know, by now, there was a situation
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago where let's let's go with the narrative.
Speaker 1: So if you are someone who's been pursuing your dreams,
Speaker 1: your dreams of journalism, you know, fought and scrapped and
Speaker 1: especially journalism in the era where they you get one
Speaker 1: of them get you get killed in by the head
Speaker 1: of a country, you get blown up in Palestine, you
Speaker 1: get like, this is a hard time to be a journalist.
Speaker 1: Now in America, we have this martyred fetish, this kink
Speaker 1: about believing we suffering in relation to the rest of
Speaker 1: the world. Obviously you know I'm talking about because obviously
Speaker 1: they are real suffering, and suffering.
Speaker 2: Is of course relative.
Speaker 1: But for some reason we like to believe, especially these
Speaker 1: especially especially uh Christians in America, they love to believe
Speaker 1: they persecuted, they got like king like they feel like
Speaker 1: they left out, like y'all, like y'all left out of
Speaker 1: the persecution ring.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You want to you want to go back to the
Speaker 1: Roman Empire where y'all burn by you like you trying
Speaker 1: to you try you want to be like that. You
Speaker 1: feel me. It's not y'all. Listen, Christians, y'all are y'all
Speaker 1: have been mildly inconvenienced, but now you won't talk. Okay,
Speaker 1: y'all got it. It's your world. You got your never cannezzer. Okay,
Speaker 1: he's in the he's in the he's in the office.
Speaker 2: You got him. Right.
Speaker 1: If you're a journalist in America, you getting dragged. If
Speaker 1: you're a journalist in America trying to actually do your job,
Speaker 1: you getting dragged. But every once in a while you
Speaker 1: get an alert and if and if you are just
Speaker 1: work your way up to the top of a reputable
Speaker 1: news source called.
Speaker 2: The Atlantic, and your name is Jeffrey Goldberd.
Speaker 1: You might have been sitting in your car chilling and
Speaker 1: then you get an alert on Signal.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Signal, if you don't know, is a text messaging service
Speaker 1: similar to a WhatsApp that's just not so Zuckerbirdye.
Speaker 2: Right, it's got Endo end encryption.
Speaker 1: Now again, if you're an immigrant, you've been on WhatsApp
Speaker 1: for the last ten years, yo, saying that's how you
Speaker 1: talk to your family, right, Signal is another option for
Speaker 1: it because of the same like into end encryption and
Speaker 1: your nation don't matter.
Speaker 2: Now we cool Zone media.
Speaker 1: We use Signal for probably the same reasons anyone else
Speaker 1: would use Signal one. It's convenient too, it's the it's
Speaker 1: got the privacy, it's got the vanishing modes because you
Speaker 1: could be like so you could be ratchet like on
Speaker 1: Snapchat and you feel me because you know it's going
Speaker 1: just gonna disappear, which will come back, which we'll talk
Speaker 1: about a little bit later. But yeah, we use it
Speaker 1: because we're passing around stuff, you know, and Molly and
Speaker 1: them got the weird little guys that they be talking
Speaker 1: about that don't like them, you know, so he has
Speaker 1: gotten uh many a threats. You feel me Robert had
Speaker 1: to you know, beat the brakes off or not or
Speaker 1: almost did these. So you know, so we got people
Speaker 1: like looking for us, not for me, but looking for them.
Speaker 2: You know, maybe they are looking for me. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think I was on a list at one point.
Speaker 1: So we be trying to keep a lot of our
Speaker 1: communications a little bit private.
Speaker 2: But we're podcasters.
Speaker 1: It's kind of not that serious. It's serious, but it's
Speaker 1: not that serious. So you jeff you money all business bloop.
Speaker 1: You get an alert to join the whothy PC small group.
Speaker 1: Now PC stands for Principals Committees, so this is the
Speaker 1: highest of clearance, okay, And you get this alert from
Speaker 1: this man named Mike Walls.
Speaker 2: Now Mike Waltz is the.
Speaker 1: National Security Advisor, so like you're the guy to make
Speaker 1: sure that the security of the nation stays secure, and
Speaker 1: you get this alert. Now here's the thing. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of guys in my phone named Robert. There's probably
Speaker 1: a lot of dudes in his phone named Jeffrey.
Speaker 2: Honest mistake at first, so.
Speaker 1: But also probably a mistake that wouldn't have happened had
Speaker 1: you not used signal. If you're on the audio version,
Speaker 1: you didn't see me scoot forward and get really close
Speaker 1: to the camera. But had you not used signal, probably
Speaker 1: could have avoided this whole thing. Anyway, get alert from
Speaker 1: Mike Wallas. Now, if you Jeffrey Goldberg, you're thinking a
Speaker 1: couple of things. One of the things you might be
Speaker 1: thinking is maybe this is like you know, you're just
Speaker 1: gonna alert me of yeah, like basic stuff, like all right,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a press briefing. You're just letting me
Speaker 1: know directly. It's crazy that you stop my phone, say
Speaker 1: phone numbers, say, considering how much your boss don't like me,
Speaker 1: But it is what it is.
Speaker 2: You have to communicate with the press, like.
Speaker 1: The reality is, until Trump completes his breaking of the
Speaker 1: US norms, you still got to communicate with the press.
Speaker 2: So a little weird to.
Speaker 1: Get hit up directly by him and not one of
Speaker 1: his people's, but it is what it is. So you
Speaker 1: joined the group. Why would you not join the group.
Speaker 1: Then you start looking around as to who in this group? Hey,
Speaker 1: who's in the group. The head of the CIA, you
Speaker 1: got Mark Rubio, the Secretary of State, you got Toaci Gabbert,
Speaker 1: the National Intelligence you got John Radcliffe, and and you got.
Speaker 2: Pete head ass. Hec seth.
Speaker 1: That's that man's name, he Pete head ass. Pete head ass,
Speaker 1: hec seth head ass.
Speaker 2: How do you describe a head ass?
Speaker 1: You?
Speaker 2: What do you like I did to him? Head ass?
Speaker 1: You throw a head ass at the end of Like,
Speaker 1: what's great about being black, especially when you're gonna roast somebody,
Speaker 1: is like you could just describe what you see on
Speaker 1: a person and then just say looking ass at the
Speaker 1: end of it.
Speaker 2: Or old head ass.
Speaker 1: Right, you got a dude that's doing quick calculations in
Speaker 1: his head about how much the tip is your long
Speaker 1: division head ass.
Speaker 2: Your old math professor looking ass.
Speaker 1: Like. The thing about being black is we get to
Speaker 1: roast you even about good stuff like your prompt on
Speaker 1: time head ass, Yo on time is already late? Looking ass. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Pete had ass excess. So they are in this group.
Speaker 1: But most people, again, who have gaming avatars, everybody knows
Speaker 1: unless it's like.
Speaker 2: The hommies put your real name in that.
Speaker 1: And even for me, I have friends who are couple
Speaker 1: A lists, a few A minus lists.
Speaker 2: I saved them under different names. In my phone.
Speaker 1: They not saved under their actual names. Why just in
Speaker 1: case something gets out, I just like, y'all.
Speaker 2: Don't y'all don't know this. Y'all don't know this right.
Speaker 1: So anyway, TC is Tozy Gabbert, Right, you got Mr
Speaker 1: in there, Marco Rubio and Ani Food start talking now again,
Speaker 1: don't understand why nobody was like, hey, who's this other number?
Speaker 1: I don't know what y'alseton. My guess is you assumed
Speaker 1: that that was somebody's aid. But I don't understand why
Speaker 1: you ain't asked. Why you ain't hit the person that
Speaker 1: added you to the group and be like, hey, I
Speaker 1: recognize everybody, but who's that?
Speaker 2: Like, who's aid is that?
Speaker 1: Yo?
Speaker 2: Who's man? Says?
Speaker 1: Hey, how you doing helming? Everybody else's introducer? So we
Speaker 1: all know each other? Like who do you work for?
Speaker 1: Why did you not ask? It's like they've never been
Speaker 1: in a group chat before.
Speaker 2: Anyway. This is what happens when you hire people that
Speaker 2: just rock with.
Speaker 1: You when you anyway, So they talking about their plans
Speaker 1: about how they going to drop these bombs on the Hoothies.
Speaker 1: Now quick recap if you don't remember who the Hoothis
Speaker 1: are Houthie who. We did an episode on the Hoothi's
Speaker 1: that was called the side Quest during the You Wasn't
Speaker 1: Outside episodes.
Speaker 2: Who the Hoothis were and are?
Speaker 1: Is a militi group in Yemen, right, and they are,
Speaker 1: like most militant groups out there, backed by Iran, but
Speaker 1: they also have their own issues around the liberation of
Speaker 1: the country of Yemen.
Speaker 2: Now, Yemen has.
Speaker 1: Been in a ridiculous civil war for a long time.
Speaker 1: As for like for there's parts of Yemen that I've
Speaker 1: wanted to visit because they have these weird, these amazing
Speaker 1: like this island of these like trees that look like
Speaker 1: they're upside down, look like the branches look like roots.
Speaker 1: It's pretty crazy, right, they have that. But they also
Speaker 1: have probably some of the best coffee on earth.
Speaker 2: Why it costs so much too, If you.
Speaker 1: Ever get somewhere and they have like yemen these beans,
Speaker 1: Yemeny coffee. That's like a running joke with like y'all
Speaker 1: a lot of my Muslim like friends. It's like, dude,
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be fascinating, but the kids are going
Speaker 1: to get Yemeni coffee right in. In their defense, Yemen
Speaker 1: got some of the best coff of y'all earth right anyway,
Speaker 1: partially because like they're not they have less like interbreeding,
Speaker 1: like modification. It's like it's truly just yemen soil. It's
Speaker 1: delicious anyway. So Yemen and the hooties, obviously they don't
Speaker 1: like the treatment of the citizens of Gaza and the
Speaker 1: people of Palestine. They feel like everybody else feels, except
Speaker 1: for Saudi Arabia about what Israel's doing.
Speaker 2: That y'all, what you're doing is wrong.
Speaker 1: Inhumane and genocidal and apartheid. But again they're funded by Iran.
Speaker 1: Now what they've been doing is essentially like as ships
Speaker 1: come through the Red Sea and go through the Suez Canal.
Speaker 1: Now a Suez Canal is up in Egypt where you know,
Speaker 1: you know, the little like if you picture in the
Speaker 1: Horn of Africa where Egypt all the way down to Ethiopia,
Speaker 1: and then there's like a little lego piece that look
Speaker 1: like it fits a little puzzle piece looks like it
Speaker 1: fits right in between them things. So the bottom of
Speaker 1: that thing, so that big thing is like Saudi Arabia,
Speaker 1: and the bottom of that thing right there is the
Speaker 1: country a Yemen. So if you going through the Suez Canal.
Speaker 1: Like your other option would be go all the way
Speaker 1: around Africa to get to the Atlantic Ocean, right, or
Speaker 1: you can come from the Indian Ocean from one side
Speaker 1: of the country, cut through the little shortcut right up
Speaker 1: the Red Sea, go through the Suez Canal. You already
Speaker 1: in the Mediterranean. Look you in Asia, minor you in Europe.
Speaker 1: You already made it right, and then you could go
Speaker 1: into the open Atlantic Ocean rather going all the way
Speaker 1: down to the South Pole and shit to try to
Speaker 1: get down around South Africa. That's gonna take you forever, right,
Speaker 1: so you go through the Seuez Canal to get there.
Speaker 2: So what So what the who thieves been doing is.
Speaker 1: They've been throwing like like throwing rocks, throw a little
Speaker 1: like like more not acatomic bonds, but throwing mortars at
Speaker 1: the boats trying to get through here.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like it's annoying, you understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So it's like like if if if somebody's scrapping and
Speaker 1: then there's just like a punch that come from the
Speaker 1: side somebody just jumped in from the side where you
Speaker 1: just or the dude that just come by while you
Speaker 1: running and just kind of stick leg out trip them. Right,
Speaker 1: that's kind of what the who Thi's been doing. They
Speaker 1: just been tripping, you know what I'm saying. And that's
Speaker 1: their way to help with this is the guys that
Speaker 1: they just you know, like we got our own shit
Speaker 1: we gotta worry about. But you know, but if there's
Speaker 1: a way we can like mess with this, that's what
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. Biden during the Biden administration kind of
Speaker 1: like like I said, when we did last time, did
Speaker 1: a little side quest to like kind of like slap
Speaker 1: them and be like you stay out of it. It
Speaker 1: wasn't as complete as it could have been. You got me,
Speaker 1: So in the meantime they kept doing it. Now America
Speaker 1: be the quote unquote good big homies that they supposed
Speaker 1: to be to Israel is like, all right, we need
Speaker 1: to handle this light work now. This is something that
Speaker 1: the Chief Executive Officer one Donald J.
Speaker 2: Trump, is like, we need to do this right.
Speaker 1: So you put together what's called, like I said, the
Speaker 1: Principals Committee to discuss the how Now, interesting thing I noticed,
Speaker 1: as and other people I've noticed in this group text
Speaker 1: is really in my mind just how regular ass these
Speaker 1: dudes are. Because it sounds to me like jd Vance
Speaker 1: the whole ass vice president who's also in this group. Now,
Speaker 1: remember we's a lurker in here that nobody checked though,
Speaker 1: head ass. Jd Vance really don't like the plan, you know,
Speaker 1: I really think this is Europe's job, Like I don't
Speaker 1: think we need to do this, and it really don't
Speaker 1: help us anyway, because even the boats going through the
Speaker 1: swess Canal that stuff go to Europe gonna help us.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, which is a position, very
Speaker 1: narrow focused, incomplete position, reminded me of my daughter. When
Speaker 1: I'll be like, hey, can you pick up those books?
Speaker 1: She'd be like why. I'm like, well, because they in
Speaker 1: the living room and like we all got to use,
Speaker 1: Like I didn't drop that book. Why do I have
Speaker 1: to pick that one up? I didn't do that one.
Speaker 1: I'm like, sweetheart, just all I'm saying is like we
Speaker 1: all this is a shared space, we all use, so
Speaker 1: pick up the book, right, clean.
Speaker 2: Up, clean up the counter.
Speaker 1: She's like, I'll clean up my crumbs, but I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna I don't like I only sit right here, so
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wipe up right here, Like are you serious?
Speaker 2: Right now? She says that, but she's nine jd vance anyway.
Speaker 1: Dang, I'm feeling a little more saucy this time than
Speaker 1: I did last time, probably because I got to do
Speaker 1: it again.
Speaker 2: Anyway, So there's a disagreement.
Speaker 1: Now again, this is human because when you get into
Speaker 1: group text with your coworkers, of course you're gonna complain
Speaker 1: about the boss. There's another man in their names, Evehn Miller,
Speaker 1: who's the kiss ass you know what I'm saying. Who
Speaker 1: They actually all have to make him happy because he
Speaker 1: the one closest to the president, you feel me, So
Speaker 1: you're gonna like even like, dude, listen, y'all you got
Speaker 1: family group text?
Speaker 2: How many of them?
Speaker 1: Because I know you got a group text where one
Speaker 1: of the cousins ain't in it, so y'all could talk
Speaker 1: shit about that cousin.
Speaker 2: Am I like? Is this? Am I making this up?
Speaker 2: Is that not all of our lives?
Speaker 1: So to me again, the use of the emojis, I'm
Speaker 1: not finna drag them on stuff like that, Like there's
Speaker 1: because that's part of the story too. Like these dudes
Speaker 1: were like doing like fist bump you know, wh white
Speaker 1: boys love the fist bump emoji? You know, the flag,
Speaker 1: the flex arm that's because they regular. These are regular dudes, right,
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna drag him about that. I got
Speaker 1: a homeboy in one of my group chats still do
Speaker 1: the old school smile, the like the colon with the
Speaker 1: with the parentheses.
Speaker 2: He got all the emotion on his phone.
Speaker 1: He just likes doing that, and I'm like, it makes
Speaker 1: you look like a douchebag. But it's but listen, you
Speaker 1: would never know who that is, you know why, because
Speaker 1: that's the rules of the group chat anyway. So they
Speaker 1: just kind of like talking back and forth about what
Speaker 1: they gotta do. Right. So if you regular Jeff, regular
Speaker 1: regular Jeff who just works at one of the largest
Speaker 1: speed outlets in the country, you like, surely they're gonna
Speaker 1: know I'm in this group text.
Speaker 2: Should I be it?
Speaker 1: I mean, you would probably think this might be a prank,
Speaker 1: this might be one of the armies. But let me
Speaker 1: shut up just in case. Then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: head ass pete head ass shoots out the PDF. That's like,
Speaker 1: all right, this is what we're finna do.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Everybody being regular understands that that would be something called
Speaker 1: Everybody regular would understand that that would be something called
Speaker 1: a war plan, but it technically is not. It's technically
Speaker 1: the right word. If you're gonna, well, actually, you know,
Speaker 1: you're gonna push your eyeb you know, your glasses up top, like, well, actually,
Speaker 1: it's actually not a war plan.
Speaker 2: The right word is concept of operation.
Speaker 1: And since the Trump administration are teenagers, they're gonna be like,
Speaker 1: we aren't doing any war plans.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Again, if you're being regular, at some point you're gonna
Speaker 1: be like, yo, is this.
Speaker 2: Should I have not known this?
Speaker 1: Like? Should this? Should this be? I feel like I
Speaker 1: should have noticed? And then there's these real time updates.
Speaker 1: And as these real times updates are happening, Pete head
Speaker 1: Ass keeps talking about how our nation is still secure.
Speaker 1: Our information is cued to the op set. That's what
Speaker 1: that's called operation security. He was like, we still got
Speaker 1: good op set, meaning everybody don't know our plans. We
Speaker 1: able to do this. But little did this dude know
Speaker 1: without checking that his op sect that he's.
Speaker 3: So proud of is currently, oh.
Speaker 1: My godness, he is currently compromised.
Speaker 2: Listen, this is you cheating on your spouse.
Speaker 1: In front of your ring camera, your Google nest while
Speaker 1: you telling your little side piece. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: They ain't gonna have a No, we're still secure. Nothing's
Speaker 1: gone out.
Speaker 2: You done gave.
Speaker 1: Your homeboy's wife's log in information, so she watching your
Speaker 1: head ass.
Speaker 2: And they going, yo, should I not know? I don't know.
Speaker 1: If you've ever caught a friend cheating on day booth day,
Speaker 1: it's a weird.
Speaker 2: It's weird.
Speaker 1: I know I've been out and had one of my
Speaker 1: homeboys get real flirty and it's like, Okay, at what
Speaker 1: point do I be like, my nigga, you let's let's
Speaker 1: go to the It's time to go to the hotel room,
Speaker 1: like all right, we're going home, all right, all right,
Speaker 1: says it's good to meet you.
Speaker 2: Were going home.
Speaker 1: At some point do you step in and be like,
Speaker 1: my nigga, you finna ruin your life right now? I
Speaker 1: think it's about time you shut the fuck up. Like
Speaker 1: I don't like, when do you say, like, was I
Speaker 1: supposed to see this? I don't know if I was
Speaker 1: supposed to see this? Only it's bombs, that's like this
Speaker 1: what experienced. So he go okay, well, uh, I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean were here now? So as he's reading these
Speaker 1: things and getting these alerts. My man, Jeffrey got the
Speaker 1: sense to turn on the TV, and Goldberg is like, damn,
Speaker 1: the TV going, we have breaking news this and this
Speaker 1: and this happened. And he's watching and being like, damn,
Speaker 1: that is exactly what was on this PDF something, miss.
Speaker 2: Man, what the this was real?
Speaker 1: So and look look look, look look here's here's my
Speaker 1: favorite part.
Speaker 2: They still don't know he in the group text.
Speaker 1: They still ain't checked Nobody at any.
Speaker 2: This thing went on for days.
Speaker 1: Nobody at any point was like, who is the two
Speaker 1: O two number? Now the fallout after this? All right,
Speaker 1: so the whole thing go down. Jeff has the integrity
Speaker 1: to remove himself from this group text like cause he's like,
Speaker 1: you know, I probably should I probably should be out
Speaker 1: of here now. I don't know, like listen, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to humanize this thing. I don't know if it's secondhand
Speaker 1: embarrassment to where you don't want to like announce yourself
Speaker 1: in there at this point to be like, yo, y'all, hey,
Speaker 1: I've been here the whole time.
Speaker 2: Like do you embarrass him.
Speaker 1: Because again, you know how signal works, they just gonna
Speaker 1: delete the whole thing.
Speaker 2: Right, or do you just be like like, let me
Speaker 2: just like we.
Speaker 1: Would all do, grab a few screenshots, who like, come on, fam,
Speaker 1: now again I'm adding some human color. Jeffrey Goldberg is
Speaker 1: a professional, but he's also just a dude.
Speaker 2: Do you think he sent it to his group text screenshots?
Speaker 1: Do you think him and his homies was like, oh shit,
Speaker 1: shill fuck o fuck what? Oh my god, dude, dude, dude,
Speaker 1: shut up, just shut up and listen. Just dude, tell
Speaker 1: me everything. I tell me everything.
Speaker 2: So you think he was sending into his group text
Speaker 2: I don't know anyway.
Speaker 1: So once it all gets out, we get to see
Speaker 1: the judges and the Congress drop the thissue photos where
Speaker 1: they keep together showing its issue. Right, So they did,
Speaker 1: these five people who was in this group chat did
Speaker 1: what all of us, anybody would do in this particular
Speaker 1: situation when you found out you have broken the one
Speaker 1: of one golden rule. Right, there's no there's not even
Speaker 1: a reason to bring up the hypocrisy of the but
Speaker 1: her emails like that is so obvious right now, we
Speaker 1: can't even bring that up right now. But the judge,
Speaker 1: James Boisburg, he's the chief US District judge in Washington,
Speaker 1: he was like, man, what. I'm gonna need them texts.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need them texting. I'm gonna need you to
Speaker 1: turn on I'm gonna need you to turn over your phone.
Speaker 1: This is this is insane. Y'all gonna have to give
Speaker 1: me the phone. But that was only after the Atlantic.
Speaker 1: That's itself. As President Trump about it at a press conference, like, yo, hey,
Speaker 1: is it normal that yo, like the highest level of
Speaker 1: security people just use signal.
Speaker 2: He was like, I don't even know what signal is.
Speaker 1: You talk about it, man, I swear to God, a
Speaker 1: man who ain't ain't seeing an email when he was
Speaker 1: buying that Tesla on the front of the White House lawn.
Speaker 1: I promise you that man ain't driven a car since
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four. And I bet you he only did
Speaker 1: because it was funny. One, you a New Yorker. Secondly,
Speaker 1: you filthy rich. You ain't driven when the last time
Speaker 1: you drove a car. So I'm like, I swear that
Speaker 1: man has not touched the computer. He do not, He
Speaker 1: do not know what signal is. Tell you that right now.
Speaker 1: He don't know what signal is. He was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what you mean. He was like, yeah, bro,
Speaker 1: I I'm the Atlantic from the Atlantic.
Speaker 2: I was added to this group chat while y'all was
Speaker 2: talking about the hooty thing.
Speaker 1: He was like, well, the Atlantic is trash, my nigga,
Speaker 1: What the hell does the Atlantic have to do with
Speaker 1: what I'm asking you?
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 1: People are doing exactly what people would do. They would
Speaker 1: turn into shaggy.
Speaker 2: It wasn't me.
Speaker 1: Because that was Tozi's answer. TOZI was like, I wasn't
Speaker 1: in that group chat. They was like, uh, is this
Speaker 1: You showed them the camera showed them the phone, like
Speaker 1: is you not TC? Marco Rubio is like I wasn't
Speaker 1: there either. They was like, you're not Mr showing this
Speaker 1: fool's avatar. I just pictured an avatar of Himo like
Speaker 1: doing the dude that just caught a fish photo.
Speaker 2: With the reflective glasses? Is Marco Rubio? Like that ain't me? No?
Speaker 2: Oh lord. They was like it wasn't me.
Speaker 1: And so the Congress and the judge had to keep
Speaker 1: being like, sir man, is this you? Yes, this is you?
Speaker 1: And they was like okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it wasn't me. You know, when you get caught cheating
Speaker 1: or you get caught in a lie, you only admit
Speaker 1: to some of it, hoping that the rest of us
Speaker 1: could go away and listen, let me ask you this.
Speaker 1: Are you old enough to understand that that never works?
Speaker 1: It don't work. So they just start okay, yeah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was me, but it's it wasn't We didn't do
Speaker 1: nothing classified. They was like, our war plans not classified.
Speaker 1: They was like, well, actually, wasn't a war plan. We
Speaker 1: got you, it wasn't a war plan.
Speaker 2: Excuse me?
Speaker 1: Was the concept of operation that's not classified? Well, it
Speaker 1: depends on what you what you mean, what you mean
Speaker 1: what you mean classified?
Speaker 2: Is At this point, they was just.
Speaker 1: Like, my brother in Christ, my brother in Christ, can
Speaker 1: you just admit that this is a big deal.
Speaker 2: They was like, nah, it's not that serious. It's not
Speaker 2: that I find.
Speaker 1: So much joy in how absolutely flabbergasted our Congress was
Speaker 1: by this answer, like, man, what.
Speaker 2: The fuck is happening?
Speaker 3: Not that serious?
Speaker 1: Oh man, oh my god, I just think this is
Speaker 1: so funny.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Pete Hexeth Pete hadass defense is just like, again, well,
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Goldberg's pussy, That's basically what he's saying. Well, he's
Speaker 1: a pussy, So like it doesn't matter, And I'm like,
Speaker 1: are you are you serious? They're like, I think you're
Speaker 1: majoring on the miners here. I think the point is
Speaker 1: we kick some hooty ass. Nothing went wrong, no harm,
Speaker 1: no foul, who's on his mistake, no big deal.
Speaker 2: And Jeff's a dick. So I don't understand.
Speaker 1: Why don't I don't. I don't know where the scandal is.
Speaker 1: I don't understand where the scandal is. Like with a
Speaker 1: stray face. That's that's the attitude. Now, Ian Goldenberg, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is an article in Politico.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: He used to work at the White House and in
Speaker 1: the Pentagon. Now he works for some psych like Israeli
Speaker 1: like group, some fund raising heads, fun type shit. Anyway,
Speaker 1: he asked him about, like, YO, does this seem like
Speaker 1: weird that you would use signal? Here's why signal comes
Speaker 1: in later because I, unlike many people, read Project twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. And one of the reasons you use signal
Speaker 1: as specified in Project twenty twenty five is because of
Speaker 1: its vanishing. Why you're supposed to use a SKIFF, which
Speaker 1: is a sensitive compartmented information facility. You know that image
Speaker 1: where you only see photos of like the President and
Speaker 1: the Joint Jeeves of Staff and they sitting around the
Speaker 1: table or they looking at the screen, like when we
Speaker 1: killed Osama bin Laden the war room can't you can't
Speaker 1: even bring your phone in there, like you can't, Like
Speaker 1: this is the most sensitive. Now, if you one of
Speaker 1: these five people, you got somebody following you all the
Speaker 1: time to make sure if you need to get to
Speaker 1: a private line, you can get to a private line.
Speaker 1: But I understand sometimes that's like it's a lot. They
Speaker 1: build them into your basement. They build a skiff. If
Speaker 1: you get that level of clearance, you get a skiff
Speaker 1: in your basement, it's somebody next to you that you
Speaker 1: could be like, hey, I can't use this phone.
Speaker 2: I gotta use the other one. Right, that's a reality.
Speaker 2: You don't just so be your phone.
Speaker 1: But they're using signal instead of a skiff because it vanishes.
Speaker 1: Because skiffs, you have to remember, at that level of
Speaker 1: national security, all of your communications. You're supposed to turn
Speaker 1: that into the Library of Congress. You need to have
Speaker 1: a record of all of it. That's the law. But
Speaker 1: if it vanishes, you can't get called into court because
Speaker 1: whatever we talk about on signal, you could tell the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court like oh it's gone now, Congress is gone
Speaker 1: now like it gets deleted off the thought you'd have
Speaker 1: to ask signal. You'd have to subpoena signal to see
Speaker 1: if you can get in two day servers. And I
Speaker 1: don't even know if they keep our information. It's into
Speaker 1: end encrypted. Well that's you know, it's protected, that's our privacy.
Speaker 1: So you use signals so you could do some shit
Speaker 1: that won't go into the records. So the shit was
Speaker 1: on purpose. It's not random, it's not them being lazy.
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't well, I would say it's both.
Speaker 1: It's both easy because you can anybody can download signal.
Speaker 1: You can create a group text. You ain't got to
Speaker 1: like get it. Like, I just need to tell y'all, now,
Speaker 1: how many times you ever called somebody like or not
Speaker 1: call them because what kind of a dinosaur? Cause, but
Speaker 1: you email somebody and then you text them and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: I sent that email because I need you to respond.
Speaker 1: The alert goes to the same phone. I just need
Speaker 1: to answer right now, like don't I mean, like, don't
Speaker 1: we all do this? But again, the stakes are incredibly
Speaker 1: lower or not. Jeff so in Goldenberg, notice that they
Speaker 1: asked him like basically they asked him like, Okay, what
Speaker 1: are the main takeaways you see from this? The first
Speaker 1: main takeaway was to see the discussion among these high
Speaker 1: ranking officials, because by the time it gets to them,
Speaker 1: it's like, don't nobody care what you think right now?
Speaker 2: You supposed to just do the thing.
Speaker 1: It was interesting to see jd Vance really not necessarily
Speaker 1: be down now. To me, that was very humid because again,
Speaker 1: who doesn't get with their coworkers and talk shit about
Speaker 1: their boss? Like, who don't do that, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, or just disagree with what the call.
Speaker 2: Everybody you're not gonna always like to play. It's just interesting.
Speaker 1: That there's that level of like disagreement and honestly, like
Speaker 1: not what they disagreed on, but the fact that there
Speaker 1: is disagreement, to me is something that is good. It's
Speaker 1: good they're not autonatons. Now they gonna be autonatons, but
Speaker 1: it's good that they we get a glimpse into seeing
Speaker 1: that they're not. I think people want to understand, especially
Speaker 1: when it comes to politics. People think that you think
Speaker 1: you want to know how the sausage is made. You
Speaker 1: think you do, but when you see how it's made,
Speaker 1: like everybody says you'll probably never eat another sausage again,
Speaker 1: or you might be like, is good. The point is,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you really want to know how
Speaker 1: the sausage is made. Another thing he noticed is that, like, dude,
Speaker 1: this is completely avoidable because I mean, do you got
Speaker 1: like a Google drive? You know, when you trying to
Speaker 1: share a link, I get a little learnt that says
Speaker 1: this person that you're sending this link to it does
Speaker 1: not have a prop hip hop dot.
Speaker 2: Com email address. You sure you want to see it?
Speaker 2: Just Google? I'm just sending.
Speaker 1: The written out lyrics for the song we're releasing on
Speaker 1: April eleventh.
Speaker 2: But you know, like I have to go No, it's cool.
Speaker 1: Yes, So if you was using a dot gov, Jeff
Speaker 1: wouldn't have got on the thing anyway because he ain't
Speaker 1: got a dot gov. So this could have not happened,
Speaker 1: right had you just followed the direction. Now the next
Speaker 1: thing is to wonder, truly what Trump thinks he gonna
Speaker 1: get they back. He gonna try to push this down,
Speaker 1: No big deal, it's a witch hunt. I love the
Speaker 1: phrase witch hunt about this one. I think that's probably
Speaker 1: the funniest one of the there's so many funniest parts
Speaker 1: in this because for this to be a witch hunt,
Speaker 1: it would mean we were hunting.
Speaker 2: We already got it.
Speaker 1: It's on the internet. You can read the text. And
Speaker 1: is it a witch I mean it's sitting there, casts
Speaker 1: and spells. There is no question that the thing happened.
Speaker 1: So you can't even call it a witch hunt because
Speaker 1: it's found. Is it a big deal? I mean you
Speaker 1: gonna try to tell me is not? Now, why would
Speaker 1: me and you care? Well, I suppose why would we care?
Speaker 1: I mean you'd say, prop why would I care? I
Speaker 1: didn't vote with Trump. I'm not in the military. I
Speaker 1: don't know anyone that's in the military. I don't know
Speaker 1: anyone who has a loved one in the military. I'm
Speaker 1: not the child of any sort of veteran. I don't
Speaker 1: know anybody in Iran, never met an immigrant. I'm not
Speaker 1: concerned about the secrets of my safety and my information.
Speaker 1: You you people my sarcasm here, because the reason why
Speaker 1: it is matters is because we could die.
Speaker 2: Like can you imagine though.
Speaker 1: Like if as easy as it is to hack somebody's phone,
Speaker 1: to get into somebody's TECHTI, it's on somebody's hard drive
Speaker 1: to know exactly where these bombs are going. And maybe
Speaker 1: that's your cousin. Maybe that's your nephew that's gonna have
Speaker 1: to carry out this mission. Maybe that's your niece that's
Speaker 1: gonna have to carry out this mission.
Speaker 2: Now they know where you are. Now they know where
Speaker 2: your niece is.
Speaker 1: Like you, like you could like you, you're putting us
Speaker 1: like they could die.
Speaker 2: I thought y'all was the military lovers. You could die? Oh,
Speaker 2: because nobody said.
Speaker 1: Who's the two O two number? Maybe Trump hates it.
Speaker 1: Maybe Trump still don't know what signal is. Maybe Trump
Speaker 1: is like, I'm just gonna try to play as low,
Speaker 1: but he doing what every black mama does once everybody leaves.
Speaker 1: You already know what I'm finna say. Black people, how
Speaker 1: dare you embarrass me in public? If there's one thing
Speaker 1: you let me let me tell you something. There are
Speaker 1: a few things that are mortal sins when it comes
Speaker 1: to black parents. There are a few things that your
Speaker 1: parents are not. They not Boo Boo the fool. They
Speaker 1: not one of your little friends. They not to be
Speaker 1: played with. And for some reason, black parents love the
Speaker 1: word audacity. You had the audacity to embarrass me in public?
Speaker 1: Now normally, what black parents would do is you will
Speaker 1: embarrass it. Sometimes they be not normally. Sometimes they be like,
Speaker 1: embarrass me in public. I'm embarrass you in public? That
Speaker 1: was my grandma. You're gonna embarrass me. I may embarrass you,
Speaker 1: but other times it's all right, we'll take it. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: Mss Johnson, she shut the door. Turn around you and
Speaker 1: they did that. Donna beat the breaks up. How dare
Speaker 1: you embarrass me in public? Now I'm gonna get out
Speaker 1: there and I'm gonna defend you. I ain't gonna I
Speaker 1: ain't gonna let them talk about you. Don't you ever
Speaker 1: embarrass me in public again. We're gonna see how obedient
Speaker 1: these five people a finna be after this?
