1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Illinois

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: the Land of Link Trent. Uh and that you had

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: another in the suite of license plate short show titles,

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: that one. It's courtesy of a person by the name

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: of Uncle Brew. I am Jack, you are Miles, and hey,

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: here a couple of things that are trended right now.

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: Right Cuomo was trending over the weekend because his ass

8
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: got fired by Bye Bye Um. Like Trix, it seems

9
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: like they found something bad because they did the investigation

10
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: for a couple of days. Usually I'm I'm assuming, uh,

11
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: this being a big corporate media entity, that they were

12
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: doing a separate investigation of their own to just drag

13
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: that ship out as long as they possibly could, uh,

14
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: and then you know, bring them back quietly like they

15
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: did with Tuban. But then you know, it was like

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: days later they were like he's fired. Oh yeah, yeah, no,

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: he's gone. Uh yeah, we we actually never really liked him,

18
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: uh so yeah, I don't know, I hated him. Ask

19
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: now that there are these new allegations against him of

20
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: possible sexual misconduct, then we're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, this

21
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: is too much. This is too much. Even though apparently

22
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: there's like a story too about how CNN sort of new,

23
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: you know, they kind of understood, maybe passively, that Cuomo

24
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: was doing this ship to help his brother, like he was,

25
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: you know, not being the most upstanding journalist in his

26
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: pursuit of OPO research. I guess, as he put it,

27
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: not CNN, Miles, not them, God and you know, but

28
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: it is what it is. But yeah, I guess this

29
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: is just the ebb and flow of men in the media. Yeah. Um, anyways,

30
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: good riddance. I guess. I mean he was LaVar balls

31
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: greatest counterpart in a TV interview. I will say that

32
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: there was something very interesting about how LaVar Ball also

33
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: thought he could pump him around. Yeah, but uh yeah,

34
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: maybe we could, you know, reach out and well we'll

35
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: hit you up with a LaVar uh Cuomo ball podcast.

36
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you're playing Cuomo ball. Nothing could be

37
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: less deserved. Yes, Matrix four is trending because there's another

38
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: new trailer um that I feel like I've seen the

39
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 1: whole movie. I've watched more trailers for this than most movies.

40
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: And I'm not even like that big of a matrix

41
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: head were we're calling him, Yeah, tricks Tricksie, tricks head tricksies.

42
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: It is one of those things you're like, because we're

43
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: so conditioned to a trailer showing you the whole movie

44
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: and then when you see your like, bro, that was

45
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: every fucking scene, like you teased every epic shot in there.

46
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: But I feel like they've done it. I don't know.

47
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. When you say that, it frightens me

48
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 1: because I'm like, no, they got There's still some there's

49
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: still some stuff in the tank, because what's in the

50
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: trailer is a fucking wild like, yeah, it looks motherfucker

51
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 1: stopping bullets. He's shitting fucking fireballs out his hands and ship.

52
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: It's ah, I'm ready. Yeah, all we need is a

53
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: portal in the sky exactly. It'll have the trifactor. I'm

54
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: ready to believe that you can be all stringy and

55
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: gray haired and like still kick some ass. You know.

56
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: I'm just hoping they got uh speaking of problematic people

57
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: who are probably still working quietly. Uh, I'm just hoping

58
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: they got a Josh Weeden pass on this bad boy,

59
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: so it has uh that some quippy banter. You know, Yeah,

60
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: I can, but that's luckily they know that's not Kian

61
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: news thing, you know, unless is literally going, whoa. There

62
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: are a couple of lines in this trailer where I'm like, oh, right,

63
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: like we love Kanu Reeves, but like not because he's

64
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: a good actor necessarily, you know, although he's gotten, he's

65
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: he's rate at what he does. Kiano heads, as they're

66
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: probably called, don't don't come from me, all right, you

67
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: don't want you don't want them to Yeah, members of

68
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: the kale. Bob Dole has passed. Uh wow, once he

69
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: outlived norm He just like didn't have anything to live

70
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: on for or something, right, I don't know. Yeah, there's

71
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: some interesting takes on Twitter about that. They're like people were,

72
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, had been more accepting of like Bob Dole,

73
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: like trying to draw a straight like a line from

74
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: Bob Dole to Trump by being like, like, you know,

75
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: America rejected many conservatives that were principled, so it's it's hard.

76
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: It's easy to see possibly why you know, things just

77
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: got to where they are and we have Trump now.

78
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: And that's like being written by like Republicans or just

79
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: like salty. So I'm like, okay, really yeah, yeah that's

80
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: what it was. Yeah, because he we should have elected

81
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: the people who wouldn't say the racist thing out loud

82
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: and just would say it behind behind the scenes. It

83
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: ignores the fact that they're like many of these people

84
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: who are out here now like just full voice screaming

85
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: racist stuff. Now they've been thinking this for a while.

86
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: It's just that I think the only difference is you

87
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: have people who are like, yeah, yeah, come on out

88
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: and just do that ship like like other people don't exist.

89
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: It's not like, you know, Trump created a bunch of

90
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: people who are like, you know what, I think I'm

91
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: gonna become a nativist, gross person. A lot of the

92
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: neolib types we are, like the Trump says the quiet

93
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: part out loud, it's it's wild, and it's like, so

94
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 1: you're acknowledging that that was the quiet part that people

95
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: just weren't saying loudly before. Like so we should have

96
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: just elected the people who kept it quiet and not

97
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: shout out. That would have been a better situation for everyone. Yeah, right,

98
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: I get the problem. Maybe, like I don't know, Trump.

99
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: Trump's definitely bad, but it's acting like in the seeds

100
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: of the current Republican Party weren't already planned as pretty

101
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: pretty blind well, you know, the thrust of it all

102
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: is ignore history, don't look backwards, don't try and look

103
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: at how we got here at all. And if you do,

104
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: we'll make it illegal to teach. Yeah. And also, speaking

105
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: of Thrust, his legacy was really the viagrad. That's a

106
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: special kind of selling out that like happens when you

107
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: are near death, when you're just like, all right, I

108
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: guess I'm just what do you want me to say

109
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: that you still fuck for a check? Okay, you can

110
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: secure this pharma bag if you stay, you're still pumping baby.

111
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: Now go off, Bobby and do your thing. You would

112
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: think that people would become more concerned about their legacy

113
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: as they get closer to death, but instead it seems

114
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: like they've become more concerned about the bag and more

115
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: willing to just tell everybody they'll funk themselves. Yeah yeah,

116
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: so I guess, you know, like old people like to steal.

117
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: So maybe that's just like the natural extension. Although it's interesting.

118
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: I was reading an article today about how viagra was

119
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: potentially going to factor into like Alzheimer's treatment. Oh really, yeah,

120
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: it was a wild They're like, we get it. It

121
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: sounds very interesting, But they've not just like there's just

122
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: been some studies that they're looking a lot closer at

123
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: Viagra's it relates to a treatment for Alzheimer's or possibly

124
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: factor into that. And this represents Viagra's new marketing strategy

125
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: post Bob Dole, where they pay us to just seed

126
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: little stories about how Viagra heres horrible illnesses. No exactly,

127
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: because when I saw them, like this has to be

128
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: a joke, and I'm like, oh wow, okay, yeah, interesting.

129
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be

130
00:07:46,240 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: right back. And we're back. And New York the city

131
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: has mandated that um, private companies demand their workers get vaccinated,

132
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: which is new. It has entered the private sector and

133
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: spread like a virus until everyone's a communist. I'm telling you, man, Yeah,

134
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: this is where it starts. I mean, I like already

135
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: looking at people's takes on this. Just Blasio, he's doing

136
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: not to this buck sex and said not to not

137
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: content to have ruined living in NYC during his disastrous tenures,

138
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: Mayor is one more big middle finger to extend to

139
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: this city on his way out. Um yeah, there's you know,

140
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: there's an uptick in COVID cases right now. Uh and

141
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: a lot of you jokers aren't vaccinated and then wondering

142
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: why people are getting sick and then things are disrupted

143
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: that's why. So yeah, I mean I think it's weird.

144
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: How Also, there's some people to who are even like

145
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: maybe like not necessarily conservative, to who are have began

146
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: to fully commit to the idea that the pandemic should

147
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: be over each other. They're not working within anymore. And

148
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: I God, I wish I had that level of self

149
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: centeredness that I could just in my mind like, oh,

150
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: it's not real to me, therefore it doesn't exist. So

151
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: poof vamos, son of a bit. Yeah, I've definitely seen

152
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: that that more mainstreaming of the fuck faucci. Uh, everybody

153
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: like kept telling us to wear masks and now there's

154
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: still coronavirus thing, which seems misguided. Yeah, and again the

155
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: prevailing lot or let's just see a lot of the

156
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: same take which like vaccines don't stop infection infection, and

157
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, boy, okay, that's uh, that's that's one

158
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: way to look at it, because you're just saying, well,

159
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: people with vaccinated they get breakthrough cases, and like, what's

160
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: the point. It's like, yeah, there's also a ton of

161
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: people who are not getting seriously ill, and even if

162
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: you have a breakthrough falling seriously ill. And also if

163
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: you're vaccinated, even if you might be carrying some level

164
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: of infection, the viral loads are lower. There's many reasons,

165
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: but really at this point, it doesn't seem like that

166
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:13,599
Speaker 1: message is going to get through to people. And I

167
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: think what they're trying to do now is make sure

168
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: that you know as many people are at least getting

169
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: boosted that are able to because if you know, for

170
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: people who have had two doses and it's been over

171
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: six months, like the studies are showing that your immunity

172
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: is waning. So that's another thing to consider. But I'm

173
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: on my fifth I told you, I'm just getting them all. Yeah,

174
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: said you shouldn't do that, man, I'm a collector. I'm

175
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: getting but Pokemon cards. Yeah, you're like, I got I

176
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: got two. I got two madernats, uh fucking for fighter.

177
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: Also whole buckle your seatbelts. I gotta fucking astra Zenica fam.

178
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: They don't even do that out here. And I got

179
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: Texas is trending. The do J is suing over the

180
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: redistricting maps, which about we're just so aggressively, Like fuck,

181
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: anybody trying to vote a Republican out because these are

182
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: ironclad districts. Uh, the attorney or ass isn't Attorney General

183
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: of Nita Coupta said, quote are complaint today alleges that

184
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: the redistricting plans approved by the Texas State Legislature and

185
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: signed into law by the governor wild and I Black

186
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: and Latino voters an equal opportunity to participate in the

187
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: voting process and to elect representatives of their choice. So yeah,

188
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: that's good. Good to see somebody doing something about that.

189
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: Where how are we feeling like that this is going

190
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: to go? Is it well, at least it up or uh,

191
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: we'll see. I mean I think that's where you figure

192
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: out which court is going to hear it and then

193
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: see how things stack up. But I mean, yeah, as

194
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: you know, well, we'll talk about a briefly touch on

195
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: tomorrow's episode. I mean, there's a lot of discussion around

196
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: the fact that there is a lot of funcor rehappening,

197
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: whether it's just the most cynical redistricting maps you've seen,

198
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: or the installation of stooges on UM election boards and

199
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: committees to be able to have the people in place

200
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: that can you know, overturn elections or at least cause

201
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: as much chaos as possible and send us further down

202
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: the road to total destabilization. Yeah. None, just you know,

203
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: getting rid of that old democracy. The goal is for

204
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 1: next elections, right, they're not still trying to overturn the

205
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: presidential election. I think that was their practice clearly, and

206
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: they're like, okay, so that didn't work out, because we

207
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: realize we need more people who are just automatons that

208
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: will just do the bidding of the party, and that's

209
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: what we need, and that's what the push has been aggressively.

210
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: But if you want to see how how much a

211
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: embarrassing failure can like motivate you to get serious, just

212
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: look at the Donald Trump going from just getting fucking

213
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: rinsed at the Obama roast to being president and like

214
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: a handful of years because he was just like that's it. Yeah,

215
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make those fuckers pat I'm not taking anymore else.

216
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: What's this? So you know, if they if they learned

217
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: their lesson, uh, we're probably fucked. We shall see, you know.

218
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: That's why like a lot of people are thinking of

219
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: things like, hey, you know, the filibuster let's you know,

220
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: like create a federal standard for a lot of these

221
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: things to try and stave this off. And I think

222
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: the concern is that they're like, we're not hearing enough

223
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: from the President or Congress to say this is a

224
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: huge like this is an existential crisis for the country.

225
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: But I think so many other people are like, man,

226
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: I'm already facing existential crisis. Has nothing to do with

227
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: me voting for Joe Biden and you know, dealing with

228
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: just a very uh you know, yeah, all right. And finally,

229
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: I like Baldwin has been on and off trending for

230
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: the past week or so. He did an interview with

231
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: his good friend George Stephanopolis like literally, they're good, they're

232
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: good buddies. Um. And you know, we we watched a

233
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: super cut, a highlight reel of the interview, um cut

234
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: cut together by ABC News. So it was a very um,

235
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: you know, convincing. You know, Alec Baldwin is just out

236
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: here doing the best he can. But then you read

237
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: some of the quotes and it seems like he puts

238
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: a lot of the blame on the shoulders of the

239
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: woman who he killed, and like he was saying, like

240
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: she told me to point it at her, and then

241
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: they have a cut away in the interview to the

242
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: gun wrangler, who they're trying to I think stick a

243
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: lot of the blame onto and the cutaway the picture

244
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: just makes she's got two guns in her hand like

245
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: a cross her chest. Uh, and it's like scowling at

246
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: the camera. Um, so it's player, like, what's strategy they're

247
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: going with here? Yeah? Very yeah. I think any person

248
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: of color who's seen somebody needlessly killed, they were in

249
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: the same playbook being like was reckless huh. But in

250
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: this one, like it really looked like Pancho Villa's wanted poster,

251
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: like it was out there. Uh. And you know, it's

252
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: just a just a huge tragedy. And then you still

253
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: have Alec Baldwin like not really advocating for things to

254
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: be safer or done differently. His whole thing is just like,

255
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, I didn't do what people in New

256
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: Mexico said. I'm probably not gonna charge. I don't know.

257
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: It's really like it's really screwed up. And if somebody

258
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: is going to be held responsible, I don't think it

259
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: should be me. And I get that to a certain point,

260
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: right that there is if you're not physically the person

261
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: who was responsible for that gun being loaded with a bullet,

262
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: that you might feel aggrieved that somehow, like you're like, well,

263
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: why am I getting caught up in this? But as

264
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: a producer and the hiring of the people and trying

265
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: to ensure a proper safety environment for the people that are,

266
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: you know, giving you their labor for your little pet

267
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: project film. Yeah, there is a little bit of responsibility there.

268
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: Now what that is, I'm not sure. I'm not a lawyer,

269
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: but that's where I think many people are like, it's

270
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: it's a little bit should show a little more contrition.

271
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: But I'm sure your lawyers like, don't do that, man,

272
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: because then they're gonna think you think your response. You know,

273
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: it's like so much triangulating. So the reason it's trending

274
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: currently is that Alec and his wife have deleted their

275
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: Twitter account, I mean Hill, yeah, and Hillary deleted their accounts.

276
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: They've gone quiet. I don't know, Uh, it sounds like

277
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: some it sounds like some ship that would happen in succession,

278
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: like where you funk up so terribly and then like

279
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: you're just getting dragged on Twitter and like your notifications

280
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: are nothing but like fuck you, piece of ship, and

281
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: you're like, you know what, just just deleteed, like the

282
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: haters are always going to be there, Like just turn

283
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: it off, you know, Let's just go to let's go

284
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: to this spaw in Iceland. Yeah, but I mean that

285
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: that is the thing that a interview conducted by somebody

286
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: who isn't his good friend would probably have focused on

287
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: is not his role as a person holding the gun,

288
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: but his role as a producer on a film that

289
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: had people like walking off the set because it felt dangerous,

290
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: Like that's you know that, that's on you, homie. Al Right, well,

291
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: those are some of the things that are trending on

292
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: this Monday afternoon. We are back tomorrow with a whole

293
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 1: last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to

294
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, don't

295
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 1: do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to

296
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: you all tomorrow. Bye bye,
