Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Gooner
Speaker 1: notorial candidate Mark Robin trend.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: That one courtesy of New Chris on the Discord, who said,
Speaker 1: been listening to Jord Center. So I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's a direct quote from Jeord Center.
Speaker 2: Are you talking a lot about goon caves and stuff? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Probably probably some gooning going if I know those fellas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out.
Speaker 1: To Christy Yamagucci Man and the rest. Uh, they're talking
Speaker 1: about some gooning. Yeah, my name's Jack fat Over there
Speaker 1: is Miles Hip and hey, speak of the devil Miles.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So the fallout from that CNN investigation continues. If
Speaker 2: you recall, his initial response to these allegations was like
Speaker 2: on some Marion Barry, like they sent me up right shit,
Speaker 2: like you know, like Shaggy, it wasn't me. This is nonsense,
Speaker 2: this is spurious, it's mendacious, when he would not use
Speaker 2: those words naturally though. In response to this, his own
Speaker 2: supporters had offered to put him in contact with IT specialists,
Speaker 2: like forensic IT specialists that could help him uncover the
Speaker 2: truth about who the real Mark Robinson is and get
Speaker 2: to the bottom that it couldn't. If you're denying it,
Speaker 2: then we'll find out who it is. Mark Robinson has
Speaker 2: rejected those offers. So so it's a set up. But also,
Speaker 2: please don't get to the bottom of this, please, which
Speaker 2: is a very interesting space to exist in.
Speaker 1: So much of what is going on with the Republicans
Speaker 1: is like guy makes up lie on the spot because
Speaker 1: he's caught doing some shit or just can't accept that
Speaker 1: he lost an election, and then everyone reacts like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, really.
Speaker 2: Whoa that? Like if that's true, we better fucking kill
Speaker 2: someone that's.
Speaker 1: Fucking crazy man, Like she needs to Holy shit, we
Speaker 1: the whole democratic foundation of this country is messed up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's a setup. This is truly a is
Speaker 2: it UCI Wally or is it one Mike situation? Ye?
Speaker 2: I want justice, but please don't seek that justice and
Speaker 2: get to the bottom of the truth, because it's a
Speaker 2: boomerang right back to me allegedly. So it's also funny
Speaker 2: too because meanwhile Newsmax, dude, they're, oh my god, this
Speaker 2: is some fantastic shit on Newsmax. This they're begging Mark
Speaker 2: Robinson to like not drop out of the race because
Speaker 2: and I think they're maybe I guess trying to condition
Speaker 2: their viewers to be like, to look past the fact
Speaker 2: that he was supremely unqualified for this job and be like, dude,
Speaker 2: it's actually not that bad. Listen to this fucking defense
Speaker 2: on Newsmax of like why Mark Robinson, Hey, hang in there,
Speaker 2: you're a good sport hell address and.
Speaker 3: They think they tracked it to a porn site where
Speaker 3: he may or may.
Speaker 2: Not have been acting.
Speaker 3: Greg Kelly, Greg Kelly when he was a private citizen
Speaker 3: forklift operation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, no, bigel, You're allowed.
Speaker 3: You're allowed to do that when you come home from work,
Speaker 3: all right. You're allowed to do whatever you want in America.
Speaker 1: Including scream about being a Nazi and saying that slavery
Speaker 1: was good and denying the Holocaust.
Speaker 2: Wait, so if you can do whatever you want in America,
Speaker 2: can you seek an abortion in a red state? Okay? Sorry,
Speaker 2: I took what you said literally? So sure is it? Are?
Speaker 2: Are you free from persecution if you're not a cis
Speaker 2: head person? Mind? What are you? Are you being like
Speaker 2: funny right now? Do you think this is funny? No? No, no,
Speaker 2: I meant for a fork for a gubernatorial candidate. You
Speaker 2: can fucking talk about keeping like spying on women in
Speaker 2: the changing rooms. Because let's be real, it's not just
Speaker 2: the comments on the porn stuff. It was there was
Speaker 2: a ton of other stuff that they're ignoring anyway, talking
Speaker 2: about go on, go on, I get it. This is America,
Speaker 2: and if you're a forklift operator you can do whatever
Speaker 2: you want. You have carte blanche.
Speaker 3: And this whole thing, I'm not buying that he is
Speaker 3: a Nazi sympathizer.
Speaker 2: That stuff Nazi the hall. It's awful. It's awful. It's awful.
Speaker 2: It's awful. That's the sound of a Republican trying to
Speaker 2: pretend they don't like Nazi.
Speaker 1: He has like a smile on his face while saying this.
Speaker 1: He's like, don't get a nazis like so bad? I
Speaker 1: get it so bad. Nobody like a one It wasn't
Speaker 1: a one sentence thing where he said, oh, black Nazi
Speaker 1: and moved on. Like he's talked about not believing the
Speaker 1: holocaus is real, like how Hitler had good idea like
Speaker 1: this is a He is on record multiple times that
Speaker 1: being like.
Speaker 2: I'm down to enslaved black people again, even though this
Speaker 2: isn't my internalized white supremacy is so intense that you
Speaker 2: think it's a bit or not real. No, it might
Speaker 2: be anyway. So he goes on to be like, no,
Speaker 2: what does naz even mean anymore?
Speaker 3: Yes, but the Nazi word has kind of entered are lexicon.
Speaker 2: Right, you look it up onary dot com. German party.
Speaker 3: But you also have this a person who is fanatically
Speaker 3: dedicated or seeks to regulate a specified activity or practice.
Speaker 2: Okay, So in this instance, if he's a black Nazi,
Speaker 2: the example from this dictionary dot com definition is a
Speaker 2: jazz Nazi who's disdaining like you know whatever, who just
Speaker 2: stay all form whatever. It's like contact, like people being
Speaker 2: like that person's black, that person's not black, And he's like,
Speaker 2: oh man, I'm very specific about this sort of thing,
Speaker 2: like black Nazi. I'm the arbiter of all black culture,
Speaker 2: and like I have very rigid definitions of what I
Speaker 2: think is or is not part of black culture. Like
Speaker 2: if that's maybe that would work there. But this guy
Speaker 2: is saying that basic talking about the.
Speaker 1: Context racism and anti semitism, and Hitler the first definition.
Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, obviously like the very bad German thing,
Speaker 2: but he could also mean this, okay, Greg Kelly. But
Speaker 2: gone because he jack you're ready for a knockout punch
Speaker 2: here it is. Anybody remembers Seinfell for the Soup Nazi.
Speaker 3: The whole country thought this was funny.
Speaker 2: And then he plays a clip from fucking Seinfeld of
Speaker 2: the Soup Nazi and Elaine and like explaining the Soup
Speaker 2: Nazi thing. And then he comes back to it and
Speaker 2: he's like, well, at least he doesn't say anything like
Speaker 2: about kids. And that's the important part, don't you That
Speaker 2: is what he says.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So he's turned the whole story into people
Speaker 1: shaming him for watching porn, which that's just where we
Speaker 1: found him talking about how Hitler is great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's happened to be on this porn site or that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, D's done that story last week when he was
Speaker 1: like a regular at a place where he jacked off
Speaker 1: next to other people and would.
Speaker 2: Graciously bring pizzas when you got off work.
Speaker 1: Like that story, I was like, wait a second, is
Speaker 1: this guy cool? But now we have some stuff that
Speaker 1: would suggest maybe not maybe.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Also, by the way, Greg.
Speaker 1: Kelly in that story is kind of giving me at
Speaker 1: a party. Anyone remember sign.
Speaker 2: Just a just a hard right turn when there's an
Speaker 2: awkward silence. It's like a birthday party, half day two.
Speaker 2: Does anybody remember anyone? Remember Jack? This is my three
Speaker 2: year old birthday party.
Speaker 1: Okay to you, Okay, anyways, but they have to encourage
Speaker 1: him to stick around, pretend it's no big deal because
Speaker 1: he is on the ballots. The ballots have shipped with
Speaker 1: his name on it. He could still drop out and
Speaker 1: then his votes would go to a chosen successor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. The Democratic Party of North Carolina could choose
Speaker 2: basically be like, all right, look, guys, it's gonna say
Speaker 2: that you're voting for the creepy sex pest guy, but
Speaker 2: it actually goes to a Republican that will pick. I
Speaker 2: don't know if we can get that information on time,
Speaker 2: but anyway.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised they're not just doing that, but I guess
Speaker 1: the probably.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, like everyone is trying to distance themselves from him,
Speaker 2: and like Trump had to pull his endorsement, like you know,
Speaker 2: the other except Greg Kelly, Baby, Greg Kelly, Hang in there, man,
Speaker 2: hang in there, man, We've all been there. Hey man,
Speaker 2: no porn for you okay, remember yeah, hey, no freedom
Speaker 2: for you? That's where is this there?
Speaker 1: I do just want to shout out John Mulaney who
Speaker 1: was hired to go do entertainment at a Sales Force
Speaker 1: event in I guess San Francisco and the Bay Area,
Speaker 1: and it went viral because so this is the thing
Speaker 1: that happens. By the way, like software sales is an
Speaker 1: industry with lots of money that is made by salespeople
Speaker 1: who have to do a lot of hard, unpleasant work.
Speaker 1: So to keep them motivated, Uh, they got little perks
Speaker 1: here and there. Baby, I know somebody who works in
Speaker 1: software sales. They were telling me about a like thing
Speaker 1: that they had recently where they were like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: it was cool. Ryan Reynolds came out and spoke to us.
Speaker 2: That's cool. Why helped me work eighty five hour weeks
Speaker 2: and no problem because I got to touch Ryan reynolds back. No,
Speaker 2: are you kidding me? You would have been fucking tasted. No,
Speaker 2: you got with me. They taste me, but I couldn't resist.
Speaker 2: And that's how I make it work for me. Man,
Speaker 2: I gotta get back to work. I get back.
Speaker 1: But anyways, the thing about the Milanny thing is like
Speaker 1: it's not funny, which like if he was being funny
Speaker 1: while he was doing it, it would like they just
Speaker 1: would have laughed and been like.
Speaker 2: Ah, he's being funny.
Speaker 1: But he was just like mean to the cook at them,
Speaker 1: which I just absolutely cooking them.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: He said, you look like a group who looked at
Speaker 1: the self checkout counters at CBS and thought this is
Speaker 1: the future. So many of you feel imminently replaceable. What's
Speaker 1: important here is that we're looking for solutions, he said sarcastically,
Speaker 1: And in looking for solutions, what we're really after is insights,
Speaker 1: which then lead to success. Now start prepping the humans
Speaker 1: for robots. Some of the veguest language ever devised has
Speaker 1: been used here in the last three days. The fact
Speaker 1: that there are forty five thousand Trailblazers here couldn't devalue
Speaker 1: the title anymore. Like it's just right on, like it's
Speaker 1: funny to me, but I can't.
Speaker 2: Like.
Speaker 1: I doubt there was a single person smiling in that theater.
Speaker 2: They probably because like there, it's probably on some level.
Speaker 2: I bet some people don't like their job and like yeah, yeah, man,
Speaker 2: kill us, dude, took us John, I don't think take themselves.
Speaker 2: That's just about I don't know. If you were at
Speaker 2: the event and it was crickets, let us know, but
Speaker 2: I feel like I am curious.
Speaker 1: He rounded out things by thanking attendees for the world
Speaker 1: you're creating for my son, where he will never talk
Speaker 1: to an actual human again. Instead, a little cartoon Einstein
Speaker 1: will pop up and give him a sort of good
Speaker 1: answer and probably refer him to another chatbot before describing
Speaker 1: he and his son playing baseball in the front yard,
Speaker 1: and he said, we're just two guys hitting whiffleballs badly
Speaker 1: and yelling good job at each other. It's sort of
Speaker 1: the same energy here at dream Force.
Speaker 2: Shit dude, which people are saying. I don't know how
Speaker 2: much he got paid. There are rumors that it was
Speaker 2: in the millions of dollars. Wow, to do.
Speaker 1: That, get the bag and tell them to go fuck
Speaker 1: themselves refect.
Speaker 2: Oh man, that's the best move too. Yeah, I give
Speaker 2: me your money. Fuck you a but we gave you
Speaker 2: the money. I don't give a fuck. You knew it
Speaker 2: it was And this is what you gave me money
Speaker 2: for to do comedy. I'm sorry, what did you know
Speaker 2: what to do make y'all feel good about your fucking lives?
Speaker 1: Hell, no, man, mullaneous hilarious, guys, you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: check this out. It's gonna be so hilarious and then
Speaker 1: not so funny, is it?
Speaker 2: Is it dream Force? Is that okay?
Speaker 1: So that Salesforce is like, uh, event, it's like their
Speaker 1: coach Ella for software sales Salesforce.
Speaker 2: Dream Force for dream Force. Let's take a quick break.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back and we're back. And a lot
Speaker 2: going on with Israel of late.
Speaker 1: So, immediately after last week's pager attacks, which have been
Speaker 1: described by a former let me get this right, CIA
Speaker 1: director as obviously terrorism, Leon Panetta said, I don't think
Speaker 1: there's any question that it's a form of terrorism.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, I don't know, if you want to be euphemistic.
Speaker 1: A mass maming, right, mass maming that is implicit that
Speaker 1: it can get anyone anywhere at any time.
Speaker 2: Including non combatants or people that actually had anything to
Speaker 2: do with it. Yeah, cool, cool, cool.
Speaker 1: But they're now trying to remove the people who are
Speaker 1: reporting on what is actually happening in one of the
Speaker 1: fronts of their now many front war. They specifically used
Speaker 1: a court ruling to raid Al Jazeera and Ramallah and
Speaker 1: ordering staff to evacuate, seizing equipment, and yeah, they're basically
Speaker 1: closing the West Bank offices of Al Jazeera.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which we're using like yeah, using like a loophole
Speaker 2: too to be like, well, it's a temporary shutdown. It's
Speaker 2: forty five days, yes, just what the thing is. But
Speaker 2: on the forty fifth day we can just fire it
Speaker 2: back up. So this forty five day shutdown is the
Speaker 2: fourth time now that the network has been hit with
Speaker 2: this up this shutdown. And again Israel was treated similarly
Speaker 2: and yeah, because they're like, why are you like saying
Speaker 2: stuff that isn't what nen Yahoo is saying, and like
Speaker 2: this what's happening in Lebanon. It's echoing Gaza like in
Speaker 2: the most fucked up freakish way, where you have Net
Speaker 2: and Yahoo and the idef like sending text messages addressing
Speaker 2: the people of Lebanon being like Hesbola has been using
Speaker 2: you as human shields and they've been hiding weapons in
Speaker 2: your homes, so you might need to leave because we
Speaker 2: need to get those weapons. And if something happens, you know,
Speaker 2: we're warning you, God forbid anything happens, and then you
Speaker 2: have fucking you know, direct strikes in popul densely populated
Speaker 2: areas to get like a Hezbolla leader that killed a
Speaker 2: ton of people. Uh and now just airstrike like across
Speaker 2: the country and so yeah, shit is getting fucking way,
Speaker 2: way way out of control. And then like the most
Speaker 2: Estate Department, when they're asked directly, it's like, do you
Speaker 2: think this is a good plan for Israel safety to
Speaker 2: go about it in this way? And then you get
Speaker 2: this spin it's like, well, obviously, like if any country
Speaker 2: is attacked, like you gotta acknowledge that there is there's
Speaker 2: gonna be some kind of response. And you know, like
Speaker 2: we're not like just all this like very mealy mouthed
Speaker 2: nonsense when you're talking about this. These are really huge
Speaker 2: escalations and uh yeah, Like for all the talk of
Speaker 2: like them saying like yeah and we're using diplomatic channels,
Speaker 2: it's like, just just cut the shit, man, Like I
Speaker 2: don't know what transgression would ultimately cause the United States
Speaker 2: to like be like all right, we're pulling the plug
Speaker 2: on all these bang bangs for you and like we're
Speaker 2: not going to have your back for any of this
Speaker 2: nonsense as you throw the whole region into further you know, chaos.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, speaking of pro Public has discovered that
Speaker 1: the US government's two foremost authorities on humanitarian assistance concluded
Speaker 1: in the spring that Israel deliberately blocked humanitarian aid to Gaza,
Speaker 1: which I think we had kind of assumed, but Anthony
Speaker 1: Blincoln had to basically take the conclusions of the two
Speaker 1: foremost experts on like what is happening over there, ignore them,
Speaker 1: and then say the exact opposite to Congress in order
Speaker 1: that weapons continue to flow unimpeded to Israel to continue
Speaker 1: the attack on Gaza.
Speaker 2: So it's just Biden is not the norm on Israel.
Speaker 1: I think that a lot of people, a lot of
Speaker 1: like that that assumption is built in that like the
Speaker 1: US is just always going to be an ally to Israel.
Speaker 1: But he is, like from the beginning of his career
Speaker 1: has just been pathologically willing to put up with their bullshit,
Speaker 1: and uh.
Speaker 2: You know, I mean to be really, you're not going
Speaker 2: to be a president and have a stance that isn't
Speaker 2: just kind of like yeah, man, like do your thing.
Speaker 2: I mean there might be like levels like a little
Speaker 2: more nuanced maybe and how things are communicated, but yeah,
Speaker 2: it's been It's like I'm trying to think of like
Speaker 2: a president who's been yeah, actually in a way trying
Speaker 2: to reel in the just ridiculous behavior of the Israeli government.
Speaker 1: We've never had a president who was overseeing that relationship
Speaker 1: when something this horrifying was happening.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, for sure, for sure. Yeah, it's just it's
Speaker 2: it's really disheartening to also then see like, you know,
Speaker 2: this is where Kamala has a chance to differentiate a bit, Yes,
Speaker 2: from like, it can't be worse than what the Biden
Speaker 2: administration is doing right now. I mean maybe, I mean yeah,
Speaker 2: like a really fucked up way could be worse, but
Speaker 2: like it feels like really low hanging fruit to begin
Speaker 2: to differentiate yourself here. But again, they fear the lobbying
Speaker 2: power of the Israeli government, so it's become like this
Speaker 2: really yeah, just like to become inert and it's just
Speaker 2: a lot of talk of like well, using diplomatic channels.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile that you know, the carnage continues.
Speaker 1: And it's not a false equivalency. We're not saying vote
Speaker 1: for Donald Trump because we're criticizing Kamala Harris's stance on
Speaker 1: Israel or other progressive policies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the criticism comes from a place that I just
Speaker 2: think American people deserve better overall, that's what it is.
Speaker 2: And again it's because it's if you're tapped in enough
Speaker 2: to look at the status quo of it all, you realize, like,
Speaker 2: we have a serious problem that has to be addressed,
Speaker 2: and anything that isn't taking taking that seriously and understanding
Speaker 2: the stress and the the instability it creates for American people,
Speaker 2: Like that's that's just a misstep. Yeah, And that's again
Speaker 2: and I'm not trying to be like idealistic, like this
Speaker 2: is a utopian, but at the very least, like, can
Speaker 2: you can you identify what is happening to the people
Speaker 2: in the United States and offer something that's a little
Speaker 2: bit more you know, that feels a little more tangible,
Speaker 2: rather than just kind of doing the thing where it
Speaker 2: could be worse. And I get it, Yeah, it would
Speaker 2: be worse under Donald Trump one hundred percent. That's not
Speaker 2: going to stop me from saying, I demand better from
Speaker 2: someone who is courting my vote. And that's what I
Speaker 2: want to see a candidate again, because the status quo
Speaker 2: is so fucked up and violent for people that I
Speaker 2: would love to see something rhetorically that acknowledges that. And
Speaker 2: you know, maybe that's a far stretch with this current
Speaker 2: current setup. But that's that's that's my hope is that
Speaker 2: we can at least objectively begin to look at what
Speaker 2: ails us and try and solve those problems.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, those are some of the things
Speaker 1: that are trending on this Tuesday, September twenty fourth. We
Speaker 1: are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of a
Speaker 1: show to tell you some fun things about the architect
Speaker 1: of Project twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five, what is
Speaker 1: it Project twenty twenty five. Yeah, yeah, he's an interesting guy.
Speaker 1: But until then, be kind to each other, be kind
Speaker 1: to yourselves, get the vaccine, get your flu shot, and
Speaker 1: don't do nothing about white supremacy.
Speaker 2: And we will talk to y'all tomorrow. Bite bite,
