1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Gooner

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: notorial candidate Mark Robin trend.

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 2: Wow.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: That one courtesy of New Chris on the Discord, who said,

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: been listening to Jord Center. So I don't know if

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: that's a direct quote from Jeord Center.

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 2: Are you talking a lot about goon caves and stuff? Yeah?

8
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: Probably probably some gooning going if I know those fellas.

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out.

10
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: To Christy Yamagucci Man and the rest. Uh, they're talking

11
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: about some gooning. Yeah, my name's Jack fat Over there

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 1: is Miles Hip and hey, speak of the devil Miles.

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,959
Speaker 2: Yeah. So the fallout from that CNN investigation continues. If

14
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: you recall, his initial response to these allegations was like

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: on some Marion Barry, like they sent me up right shit,

16
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: like you know, like Shaggy, it wasn't me. This is nonsense,

17
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: this is spurious, it's mendacious, when he would not use

18
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: those words naturally though. In response to this, his own

19
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 2: supporters had offered to put him in contact with IT specialists,

20
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: like forensic IT specialists that could help him uncover the

21
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: truth about who the real Mark Robinson is and get

22
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: to the bottom that it couldn't. If you're denying it,

23
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: then we'll find out who it is. Mark Robinson has

24
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: rejected those offers. So so it's a set up. But also,

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: please don't get to the bottom of this, please, which

26
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 2: is a very interesting space to exist in.

27
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: So much of what is going on with the Republicans

28
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: is like guy makes up lie on the spot because

29
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: he's caught doing some shit or just can't accept that

30
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: he lost an election, and then everyone reacts like, oh

31
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: my god, really.

32
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: Whoa that? Like if that's true, we better fucking kill

33
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: someone that's.

34
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: Fucking crazy man, Like she needs to Holy shit, we

35
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: the whole democratic foundation of this country is messed up.

36
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's a setup. This is truly a is

37
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: it UCI Wally or is it one Mike situation? Ye?

38
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: I want justice, but please don't seek that justice and

39
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: get to the bottom of the truth, because it's a

40
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 2: boomerang right back to me allegedly. So it's also funny

41
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: too because meanwhile Newsmax, dude, they're, oh my god, this

42
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: is some fantastic shit on Newsmax. This they're begging Mark

43
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: Robinson to like not drop out of the race because

44
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 2: and I think they're maybe I guess trying to condition

45
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: their viewers to be like, to look past the fact

46
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: that he was supremely unqualified for this job and be like, dude,

47
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: it's actually not that bad. Listen to this fucking defense

48
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: on Newsmax of like why Mark Robinson, Hey, hang in there,

49
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: you're a good sport hell address and.

50
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 3: They think they tracked it to a porn site where

51
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: he may or may.

52
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: Not have been acting.

53
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: Greg Kelly, Greg Kelly when he was a private citizen

54
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: forklift operation.

55
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, no, bigel, You're allowed.

56
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 3: You're allowed to do that when you come home from work,

57
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: all right. You're allowed to do whatever you want in America.

58
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: Including scream about being a Nazi and saying that slavery

59
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: was good and denying the Holocaust.

60
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: Wait, so if you can do whatever you want in America,

61
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: can you seek an abortion in a red state? Okay? Sorry,

62
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: I took what you said literally? So sure is it? Are?

63
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: Are you free from persecution if you're not a cis

64
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: head person? Mind? What are you? Are you being like

65
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: funny right now? Do you think this is funny? No? No, no,

66
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: I meant for a fork for a gubernatorial candidate. You

67
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: can fucking talk about keeping like spying on women in

68
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: the changing rooms. Because let's be real, it's not just

69
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: the comments on the porn stuff. It was there was

70
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: a ton of other stuff that they're ignoring anyway, talking

71
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: about go on, go on, I get it. This is America,

72
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: and if you're a forklift operator you can do whatever

73
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: you want. You have carte blanche.

74
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: And this whole thing, I'm not buying that he is

75
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 3: a Nazi sympathizer.

76
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: That stuff Nazi the hall. It's awful. It's awful. It's awful.

77
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: It's awful. That's the sound of a Republican trying to

78
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: pretend they don't like Nazi.

79
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: He has like a smile on his face while saying this.

80
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: He's like, don't get a nazis like so bad? I

81
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: get it so bad. Nobody like a one It wasn't

82
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: a one sentence thing where he said, oh, black Nazi

83
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: and moved on. Like he's talked about not believing the

84
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: holocaus is real, like how Hitler had good idea like

85
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: this is a He is on record multiple times that

86
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: being like.

87
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 2: I'm down to enslaved black people again, even though this

88
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: isn't my internalized white supremacy is so intense that you

89
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: think it's a bit or not real. No, it might

90
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: be anyway. So he goes on to be like, no,

91
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: what does naz even mean anymore?

92
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: Yes, but the Nazi word has kind of entered are lexicon.

93
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: Right, you look it up onary dot com. German party.

94
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: But you also have this a person who is fanatically

95
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 3: dedicated or seeks to regulate a specified activity or practice.

96
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 2: Okay, So in this instance, if he's a black Nazi,

97
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 2: the example from this dictionary dot com definition is a

98
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: jazz Nazi who's disdaining like you know whatever, who just

99
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: stay all form whatever. It's like contact, like people being

100
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 2: like that person's black, that person's not black, And he's like,

101
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 2: oh man, I'm very specific about this sort of thing,

102
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 2: like black Nazi. I'm the arbiter of all black culture,

103
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: and like I have very rigid definitions of what I

104
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: think is or is not part of black culture. Like

105
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: if that's maybe that would work there. But this guy

106
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: is saying that basic talking about the.

107
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: Context racism and anti semitism, and Hitler the first definition.

108
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, obviously like the very bad German thing,

109
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 2: but he could also mean this, okay, Greg Kelly. But

110
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: gone because he jack you're ready for a knockout punch

111
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: here it is. Anybody remembers Seinfell for the Soup Nazi.

112
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: The whole country thought this was funny.

113
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: And then he plays a clip from fucking Seinfeld of

114
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: the Soup Nazi and Elaine and like explaining the Soup

115
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: Nazi thing. And then he comes back to it and

116
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 2: he's like, well, at least he doesn't say anything like

117
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 2: about kids. And that's the important part, don't you That

118
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: is what he says.

119
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So he's turned the whole story into people

120
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: shaming him for watching porn, which that's just where we

121
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: found him talking about how Hitler is great.

122
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's happened to be on this porn site or that.

123
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, D's done that story last week when he was

124
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: like a regular at a place where he jacked off

125
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: next to other people and would.

126
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 2: Graciously bring pizzas when you got off work.

127
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: Like that story, I was like, wait a second, is

128
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: this guy cool? But now we have some stuff that

129
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: would suggest maybe not maybe.

130
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. Also, by the way, Greg.

131
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: Kelly in that story is kind of giving me at

132
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: a party. Anyone remember sign.

133
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: Just a just a hard right turn when there's an

134
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: awkward silence. It's like a birthday party, half day two.

135
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: Does anybody remember anyone? Remember Jack? This is my three

136
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: year old birthday party.

137
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: Okay to you, Okay, anyways, but they have to encourage

138
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: him to stick around, pretend it's no big deal because

139
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: he is on the ballots. The ballots have shipped with

140
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: his name on it. He could still drop out and

141
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: then his votes would go to a chosen successor.

142
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. The Democratic Party of North Carolina could choose

143
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: basically be like, all right, look, guys, it's gonna say

144
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: that you're voting for the creepy sex pest guy, but

145
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: it actually goes to a Republican that will pick. I

146
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: don't know if we can get that information on time,

147
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: but anyway.

148
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: I'm surprised they're not just doing that, but I guess

149
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: the probably.

150
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, like everyone is trying to distance themselves from him,

151
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: and like Trump had to pull his endorsement, like you know,

152
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: the other except Greg Kelly, Baby, Greg Kelly, Hang in there, man,

153
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 2: hang in there, man, We've all been there. Hey man,

154
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: no porn for you okay, remember yeah, hey, no freedom

155
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: for you? That's where is this there?

156
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: I do just want to shout out John Mulaney who

157
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: was hired to go do entertainment at a Sales Force

158
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: event in I guess San Francisco and the Bay Area,

159
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: and it went viral because so this is the thing

160
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: that happens. By the way, like software sales is an

161
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: industry with lots of money that is made by salespeople

162
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: who have to do a lot of hard, unpleasant work.

163
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: So to keep them motivated, Uh, they got little perks

164
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,599
Speaker 1: here and there. Baby, I know somebody who works in

165
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: software sales. They were telling me about a like thing

166
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: that they had recently where they were like, yeah, I

167
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: it was cool. Ryan Reynolds came out and spoke to us.

168
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: That's cool. Why helped me work eighty five hour weeks

169
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 2: and no problem because I got to touch Ryan reynolds back. No,

170
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: are you kidding me? You would have been fucking tasted. No,

171
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 2: you got with me. They taste me, but I couldn't resist.

172
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: And that's how I make it work for me. Man,

173
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: I gotta get back to work. I get back.

174
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: But anyways, the thing about the Milanny thing is like

175
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: it's not funny, which like if he was being funny

176
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: while he was doing it, it would like they just

177
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: would have laughed and been like.

178
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: Ah, he's being funny.

179
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: But he was just like mean to the cook at them,

180
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: which I just absolutely cooking them.

181
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 3: Uh.

182
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: He said, you look like a group who looked at

183
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: the self checkout counters at CBS and thought this is

184
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: the future. So many of you feel imminently replaceable. What's

185
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,479
Speaker 1: important here is that we're looking for solutions, he said sarcastically,

186
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: And in looking for solutions, what we're really after is insights,

187
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: which then lead to success. Now start prepping the humans

188
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: for robots. Some of the veguest language ever devised has

189
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: been used here in the last three days. The fact

190
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: that there are forty five thousand Trailblazers here couldn't devalue

191
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: the title anymore. Like it's just right on, like it's

192
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: funny to me, but I can't.

193
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: Like.

194
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: I doubt there was a single person smiling in that theater.

195
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 2: They probably because like there, it's probably on some level.

196
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: I bet some people don't like their job and like yeah, yeah, man,

197
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 2: kill us, dude, took us John, I don't think take themselves.

198
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: That's just about I don't know. If you were at

199
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: the event and it was crickets, let us know, but

200
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 2: I feel like I am curious.

201
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: He rounded out things by thanking attendees for the world

202
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: you're creating for my son, where he will never talk

203
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: to an actual human again. Instead, a little cartoon Einstein

204
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: will pop up and give him a sort of good

205
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: answer and probably refer him to another chatbot before describing

206
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: he and his son playing baseball in the front yard,

207
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: and he said, we're just two guys hitting whiffleballs badly

208
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: and yelling good job at each other. It's sort of

209
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: the same energy here at dream Force.

210
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 2: Shit dude, which people are saying. I don't know how

211
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: much he got paid. There are rumors that it was

212
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 2: in the millions of dollars. Wow, to do.

213
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: That, get the bag and tell them to go fuck

214
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: themselves refect.

215
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 2: Oh man, that's the best move too. Yeah, I give

00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 2: it was And this is what you gave me money

Speaker 2: Is it dream Force? Is that okay?

225
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: So that Salesforce is like, uh, event, it's like their

226
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: coach Ella for software sales Salesforce.

227
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 2: Dream Force for dream Force. Let's take a quick break.

228
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 2: We'll be right back and we're back. And a lot

229
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: going on with Israel of late.

230
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: So, immediately after last week's pager attacks, which have been

231
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: described by a former let me get this right, CIA

232
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: director as obviously terrorism, Leon Panetta said, I don't think

233
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: there's any question that it's a form of terrorism.

234
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, I don't know, if you want to be euphemistic.

235
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: A mass maming, right, mass maming that is implicit that

236
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: it can get anyone anywhere at any time.

237
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 2: Including non combatants or people that actually had anything to

238
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: do with it. Yeah, cool, cool, cool.

239
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: But they're now trying to remove the people who are

240
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: reporting on what is actually happening in one of the

241
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: fronts of their now many front war. They specifically used

242
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: a court ruling to raid Al Jazeera and Ramallah and

243
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: ordering staff to evacuate, seizing equipment, and yeah, they're basically

244
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: closing the West Bank offices of Al Jazeera.

245
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, which we're using like yeah, using like a loophole

246
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: too to be like, well, it's a temporary shutdown. It's

247
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 2: forty five days, yes, just what the thing is. But

248
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: on the forty fifth day we can just fire it

249
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 2: back up. So this forty five day shutdown is the

250
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: fourth time now that the network has been hit with

251
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 2: this up this shutdown. And again Israel was treated similarly

252
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: and yeah, because they're like, why are you like saying

253
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: stuff that isn't what nen Yahoo is saying, and like

254
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 2: this what's happening in Lebanon. It's echoing Gaza like in

255
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 2: the most fucked up freakish way, where you have Net

256
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: and Yahoo and the idef like sending text messages addressing

257
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 2: the people of Lebanon being like Hesbola has been using

258
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: you as human shields and they've been hiding weapons in

259
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: your homes, so you might need to leave because we

260
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: need to get those weapons. And if something happens, you know,

261
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 2: we're warning you, God forbid anything happens, and then you

262
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,359
Speaker 2: have fucking you know, direct strikes in popul densely populated

263
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: areas to get like a Hezbolla leader that killed a

264
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 2: ton of people. Uh and now just airstrike like across

265
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 2: the country and so yeah, shit is getting fucking way,

266
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 2: way way out of control. And then like the most

267
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: Estate Department, when they're asked directly, it's like, do you

268
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: think this is a good plan for Israel safety to

269
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: go about it in this way? And then you get

270
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 2: this spin it's like, well, obviously, like if any country

271
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 2: is attacked, like you gotta acknowledge that there is there's

272
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 2: gonna be some kind of response. And you know, like

273
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: we're not like just all this like very mealy mouthed

274
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 2: nonsense when you're talking about this. These are really huge

275
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: escalations and uh yeah, Like for all the talk of

276
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: like them saying like yeah and we're using diplomatic channels,

277
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: it's like, just just cut the shit, man, Like I

278
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: don't know what transgression would ultimately cause the United States

279
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: to like be like all right, we're pulling the plug

280
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 2: on all these bang bangs for you and like we're

281
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: not going to have your back for any of this

282
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: nonsense as you throw the whole region into further you know, chaos.

283
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, speaking of pro Public has discovered that

284
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: the US government's two foremost authorities on humanitarian assistance concluded

285
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: in the spring that Israel deliberately blocked humanitarian aid to Gaza,

286
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: which I think we had kind of assumed, but Anthony

287
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: Blincoln had to basically take the conclusions of the two

288
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: foremost experts on like what is happening over there, ignore them,

289
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: and then say the exact opposite to Congress in order

290
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: that weapons continue to flow unimpeded to Israel to continue

291
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: the attack on Gaza.

292
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 2: So it's just Biden is not the norm on Israel.

293
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: I think that a lot of people, a lot of

294
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: like that that assumption is built in that like the

295
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: US is just always going to be an ally to Israel.

296
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: But he is, like from the beginning of his career

297
00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: has just been pathologically willing to put up with their bullshit,

298
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: and uh.

299
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: You know, I mean to be really, you're not going

300
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 2: to be a president and have a stance that isn't

301
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 2: just kind of like yeah, man, like do your thing.

302
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 2: I mean there might be like levels like a little

303
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 2: more nuanced maybe and how things are communicated, but yeah,

304
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 2: it's been It's like I'm trying to think of like

305
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 2: a president who's been yeah, actually in a way trying

306
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 2: to reel in the just ridiculous behavior of the Israeli government.

307
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: We've never had a president who was overseeing that relationship

308
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: when something this horrifying was happening.

309
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, for sure, for sure. Yeah, it's just it's

310
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 2: it's really disheartening to also then see like, you know,

311
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 2: this is where Kamala has a chance to differentiate a bit, Yes,

312
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: from like, it can't be worse than what the Biden

313
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: administration is doing right now. I mean maybe, I mean yeah,

314
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 2: like a really fucked up way could be worse, but

315
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 2: like it feels like really low hanging fruit to begin

316
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: to differentiate yourself here. But again, they fear the lobbying

317
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 2: power of the Israeli government, so it's become like this

318
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: really yeah, just like to become inert and it's just

319
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: a lot of talk of like well, using diplomatic channels.

320
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: Meanwhile that you know, the carnage continues.

321
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: And it's not a false equivalency. We're not saying vote

322
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: for Donald Trump because we're criticizing Kamala Harris's stance on

323
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: Israel or other progressive policies.

324
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, the criticism comes from a place that I just

325
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 2: think American people deserve better overall, that's what it is.

326
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 2: And again it's because it's if you're tapped in enough

327
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: to look at the status quo of it all, you realize, like,

328
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 2: we have a serious problem that has to be addressed,

329
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 2: and anything that isn't taking taking that seriously and understanding

330
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 2: the stress and the the instability it creates for American people,

331
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 2: Like that's that's just a misstep. Yeah, And that's again

332
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 2: and I'm not trying to be like idealistic, like this

333
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 2: is a utopian, but at the very least, like, can

334
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 2: you can you identify what is happening to the people

335
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 2: in the United States and offer something that's a little

336
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 2: bit more you know, that feels a little more tangible,

337
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: rather than just kind of doing the thing where it

338
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: could be worse. And I get it, Yeah, it would

339
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: be worse under Donald Trump one hundred percent. That's not

340
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 2: going to stop me from saying, I demand better from

341
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 2: someone who is courting my vote. And that's what I

342
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: want to see a candidate again, because the status quo

343
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 2: is so fucked up and violent for people that I

344
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: would love to see something rhetorically that acknowledges that. And

345
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 2: you know, maybe that's a far stretch with this current

346
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 2: current setup. But that's that's that's my hope is that

347
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: we can at least objectively begin to look at what

348
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 2: ails us and try and solve those problems.

349
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, those are some of the things

350
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: that are trending on this Tuesday, September twenty fourth. We

351
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of a

352
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: show to tell you some fun things about the architect

353
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: of Project twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five, what is

354
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: it Project twenty twenty five. Yeah, yeah, he's an interesting guy.

355
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: But until then, be kind to each other, be kind

356
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 1: to yourselves, get the vaccine, get your flu shot, and

357
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: don't do nothing about white supremacy.

358
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 2: And we will talk to y'all tomorrow. Bite bite,
