14
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 3: right to free speech. They're going to they're going to

15
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 3: arrest journal lists for merely covering what is unfolding in

16
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 3: front of them. Came, We're going to become hostile towards intellectuals, professors, students,

17
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: bar them from entering campus. Yeah, we're talking about the

18
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: protests that are kicking off around campuses. I don't know, man,

19
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 3: looking at this shit, it's like you're tasing fucking students,

20
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: your Pepper Spring student journalists for merely being around while

21
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 3: the fucking administrations call up the cop goons to come

22
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 3: through and clear out encampments or protests. I mean University

23
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 3: of Texas, my god, like they really, I mean they

24
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: it was a bunch of fucking nonsense unfolding and brutalizing

25
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 3: you know, peaceful protesters. Which is wild too because while

26
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 3: they did that to try and disperse the protest that

27
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 3: was on Wednesday, today Thursday, there are reports that that

28
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: crowd These are reports I don't know officially, but they're

29
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: saying that the crowds are up to five times larger today.

30
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, because fuck them, you know. Yeah, like that's it's

31
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: a great way to like, you know, grow a movement

32
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: of really brave people. Uh and also great way to

33
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: court the youth vote Biden killing it. Yeah, well done, sir.

34
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. And not and really have nothing to say too,

35
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 3: I mean, like we're talking about, you know, if you

36
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 3: look at what's happening the actual like student protests, they're

37
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: calling for really simple shit, man. They just want to

38
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 3: stop the genocide. They want their schools to divest from

39
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 3: anything having to do with Israel. That could potentially profit

40
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 3: off of what is happening, uh in Gaza, And yeah,

41
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: we're treating the fun. I mean again, you look there's

42
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 3: they look like there are more people out there breaking

43
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 3: up college protests than there were fucking January sixth.

44
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah you know what I mean.

45
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: And you get every time.

46
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: January six I'm sorry, yeah, yes, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no,

47
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: they're not worried about January sixth. Yeah, this is just

48
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: working with their money.

49
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: No exactly, They're like, no, no, no, these people are good,

50
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: like they're they're down to ride for the status quo.

51
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 3: These younger people who are they are voicing their absolute

52
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 3: displeasure to put it lightly, with what is happening with

53
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 3: not only the United States foreign policy, but their university's

54
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: fiscal policies.

55
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't like when you try and get involved

56
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: in like the fiscal stuff, because that's that's money money.

57
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: Don't fuckle my money. And now like we're.

58
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: Seeing to have fund with like a you know, academic

59
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: apparatus attached to it exactly.

60
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: But yeah, like we're seeing encampments in Princeton, Cornell, George

61
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: Washington University u c l A. I mean, there were

62
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: people were getting arrested at USC yesterday.

63
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: It's it's this.

64
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: Movement is only growing and my god, Joe Biden, you

65
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 3: got fucking work to do, fam if you think you're

66
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 3: even getting close, and all this fucking fear mongering around

67
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 3: what the authoritarianism, it's playing out in just full view

68
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: of people right now. So stop playing in people's faces

69
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: and maybe and see, I don't know, I mean, I

70
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: don't know. I don't know why I'm like do something

71
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: because I don't know if if the president even has

72
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: the appetite for this. But again, I know that staying

73
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 3: in office is ultimately what is the you know, the

74
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 3: ultimate outcome for politicians. You better figure out how you

75
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: are going to stay in office because now you're not

76
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 3: only are you dealing with people who are just not

77
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 3: on campuses, who are absolutely opposed to the foreign policy

78
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 3: of this country, but now there's a huge student movement

79
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 3: growing and allowing police to brutalize them is not a

80
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: fucking winning strategy at all. And like banning fucking apps,

81
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: I mean, like we're it's just authoritarian creep. Yeah, just

82
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 3: creep in on the down low, because it's yeah, it's

83
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 3: playing out.

84
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, on the other side, and I don't feel like

85
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: it's probably completely disconnected. Right the Supreme to give you

86
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: the future of the United States right now. Yeah. So

87
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: on the other side, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments

88
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 1: this morning in the case of Trump's presidential immunity, which

89
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: found his lawyer John Sour doubling down on his previous

90
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: argument that a president could order the military to assassinate

91
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: a political rival because that would count as an official act.

92
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 3: It counts.

93
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: It counts counted from way down. If the president decides

94
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders

95
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: the military to assassinate him, is that within his official

96
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: acts to which he has immunity, asked Supreme Court Justice Swing,

97
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: is so, Tomower and uh, Sour responded, no, of course,

98
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: we don't know. I'm sorry, he responded, Uh, that could

99
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: well be an official act. Yes, yeah, yeah it could.

100
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: It was just like they just kept being like, wait,

101
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: so you're you're saying he could like bribe and like

102
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: just break all these laws. Yeah, for personal gain.

103
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. But what I'm saying is unless Congress impeaches and

104
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: convicts him, he's safe. Yeah, then it's safe. Then he's safe.

105
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 3: It's safety. But yeah, if not, then it doesn't count.

106
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 3: Even Amy Coney Barrett was like, okay, but like what

107
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 3: if it's revealed after they leave office that they've committed

108
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 3: a crime, does that also mean that they get away

109
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 3: with it? And Soara's like, well, I mean, you know,

110
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 3: like if if you think about how the framers of

111
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 3: the Constitution looked at it, like obviously not every you know,

112
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: crime is going to it's like the like it's again,

113
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter what these arguments are because the whole

114
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: point of this was just to delay the trial till

115
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: for his main trial with Jack Smith until after the election.

116
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 3: So this is all just fucking puppetry. It's puppet show puppetry.

117
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: It also, I mean, I think reveals where his head

118
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: is at, where Trump would like things to be. And

119
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: I do just feel like it probably makes it easier

120
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: to justify, you know, for Biden to justify his like

121
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: Nixonian arresting of peaceful anti war protesters when the other

122
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,559
Speaker 1: guy is like telling the Supreme Court like I could

123
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: literally like just reiterating what he said to a crowd

124
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: once and we were like, he's joking. He doesn't think

125
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: he could kill someone and get away with it. And

126
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: now he's like in front of the Supreme Court and

127
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: his lawyer is like, yeah, no that what Yeah, of

128
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: course what did you not? Yeah right, he could kill people,

129
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: the president.

130
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

131
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: Have you not seen that Clin Eastwood film Absolute Power

132
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: of Course kill people.

133
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's just like I'm god, yeah that you pick

134
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 3: your poison. Man, you got one guy being like I

135
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 3: can too sell nuclear secrets and yeah, Like to your point,

136
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 3: it's like the juxtaposition of what is going on with

137
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: Trump allows Biden to be like, well, I'm not telling

138
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 3: I didn't tell NYU to call the cops. It's like, yeah,

139
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 3: but do you want to, as president show some leadership?

140
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 3: Are you? Are you here to just stick up for

141
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 3: the voting blocks that you think will get you into office?

142
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: Because I'm telling you you do have an opportunity here

143
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 3: if you're going to be fully transactional about it. But no,

144
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't even know what the fuck that yet.

145
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 3: It's just like like what is it going to look?

146
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 3: I'm just thinking about like when our kids are older,

147
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: like what the fuck? What's going to be the norm then?

148
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 3: I mean, and our kids can.

149
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: Be so shown there will have been such a backlash that, uh,

150
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: it's no longer that way, but uh, I think in

151
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: the middle distance it's going to be pretty bad.

152
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And again we're talking we're just we're

153
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,599
Speaker 3: talking about like we see this all the time, peaceful protests.

154
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 3: Whenever they threaten the power of the state or the

155
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 3: status quo in this country, it is met with just

156
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 3: brutal violence. Yeah. Like luckily, like u c l A.

157
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 3: There's an encampment that popped up today. It doesn't seem

158
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 3: like the cops are being as heavy handed as they

159
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 3: were at usc and, which is so weird. You wonder

160
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 3: like what the fucking universities think is gonna happen, Like

161
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 3: you by doing this, you're only creating it's your own.

162
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: It's just Stephen Monticelli, who's a reporter for the Texas Observer,

163
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 3: I think, was just saying, it's like, it's like the

164
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 3: fucking streisand effect over here. Man oh man. Yeah.

165
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: And it's they like they have things on their official

166
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: like on Columbia dot edu where they're like and we do,

167
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: of course deal with our problematic past, and you know,

168
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: in the same yeah, you can be extracted down on

169
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: protesters peaceful like anti war protesters who are obviously on

170
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: the right side of history, and you know that, but

171
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: that is long in our past, and they're repeating the

172
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: exact same locking the gates, yea, locking the gate, like

173
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: doing all the same steps they did back then. It's yeah,

174
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: where when it seems like it would be so much

175
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: easier to not do those things, But here we are. Yeah,

176
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: uh so let's uh, let's take a quick break and

177
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: we'll we'll be right.

178
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: Back and we're back.

179
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: Other good news that people got hit with us morning.

180
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein's conviction in New York was overturned.

181
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 2: Goods.

182
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'm saying, like it's fucking all bad out here.

183
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 3: Everything holy shit, Like it's like the conviction was, like, so,

184
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 3: is there going to be a retrial, like a mistrial.

185
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: He can be retrialed, he's not. He can be retried,

186
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: he's not out of jail. They overturned it on the

187
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: grounds that, like they claimed the Jude shouldn't have allowed

188
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: witnesses to other crimes to testify. But you know, a

189
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: lot of people were pointing out it's very common when

190
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: establishing like the character of you know, an assailant, this

191
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: guy trial and yes, exactly.

192
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 3: This guy stole from me. It's like, well, that's not

193
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 3: relevant to this case.

194
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: Where he stole in a very similar way from a

195
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: very simple position, and the dissenting justice in overturning it

196
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: was overturned I think three to two. One of the

197
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: dissenting judges pointed out that this group of appellate judges

198
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: seems to keep overturning a lot of convictions around sexual violence.

199
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, that's uh, that jumped out of me.

200
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: And then it's also just you know, when someone's wealthy

201
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: enough and can pay their lawyers enough to just keep

202
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: pushing and keep pushing, they potentually get these things overturned.

203
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: That's kind of the the greatest bias in or one

204
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: of the greatest biases in the US justice system. Yeah, well,

205
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: got enough money to just keep going.

206
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 3: I'm sure they will try to retry. You'd think they'll

207
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: attempt to retry him. But I guess what you're saying,

208
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 3: because he also he's also been convicted in LA.

209
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: So he's also been convicted in LA. So he's still

210
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: in jail. That that conviction carries a sentence of over

211
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: ten years, right, so I think it's in the teens. So,

212
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: but there will be time.

213
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 3: But potentially I know that they are saying that, like

214
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 3: this could affect their appeal in the LA conviction too.

215
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: It could. Yeah, So I mean it's not it's not

216
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: good news all around.

217
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 3: It's really it's that two tiers justice system Trump was

218
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 3: talking about screaming about.

219
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: I don't know fare it was again earlier though mainly

220
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: it's unfair to just Donald Trump. Yeah, all right. There's

221
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: a lot of images of this flamethrower equipped robot dog

222
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: going around. I don't know why people seem to be

223
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: interested in this. It's not that big a deal. It's

224
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: called a Terminator, the world's first ever flamethrower wielding robot dog,

225
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:30,359
Speaker 1: named of course after the American pie character, the Erminator,

226
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: and it's equipped with Bluetooth connectivity so you can control

227
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: it with the smartphone. I look like out of control

228
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: out there, you know, ye sentient.

229
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 3: It's it's also not affordable till dollars, so that's an

230
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 3: interesting number.

231
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

232
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is like so fucking like when I saw it,

233
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 3: I was like, Wow, we're fucking It's just all like

234
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 3: this country's cooked. Like every day. I'm like, oh we're cooked, man,

235
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 3: this fucking we got we got You can buy a

236
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 3: Bluetooth enabled fucking killer robot dog.

237
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh, you know, a hot dog can be

238
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: cooked with this thing. Because they pitched it as a

239
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: something that you could use to like impress your neighbors

240
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: at a cookout.

241
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he said, quote, we always had the makers of

242
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 3: this throw flame. Yeah, great name. Uh, we always have

243
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: the people who just want it for fun, impress the

244
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 3: neighbors at the barbecue. Another one of the other creators said, quote,

245
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 3: most people use it just to show off to their friends,

246
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 3: like going out in the open to shoot fire in

247
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 3: the air, setting up stuff you want to burn.

248
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, go out in the open, that's what That's what

249
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: was their first thing that responsible flamethrower enthusiasts do is

250
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: go out in the open and do that thing. And

251
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: they're just the type of person that this appeals to

252
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: is also the type of person who's very responsible with

253
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: fire safety. Oh yeah, anyone.

254
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: Who's responsible fire safety goes, you know what, I need

255
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 3: a fucking flamethrower.

256
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: To prove a point.

257
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 3: Okay, it's responsible flamethrower owners that are getting a fucking

258
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 3: bad rap. Those are people who keep their all out

259
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 3: loosey goosey attached to a robodog.

260
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: So I think the first question that might appeal to

261
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people.

262
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 3: Or can I get it now?

263
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, is how much? How quickly can I get it?

264
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 3: Ordered?

265
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: No, the question is like how would that How would

266
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: something like that be legal? Like if if that thing

267
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: is coming up your street shooting flame and you kind

268
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: of look and there's a person just controlling it with

269
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: their phone behind them, you would think, no, that's this

270
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: is a bad dream. This can't be legal. It is

271
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: actually legal legal, And forty eight states just not California

272
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: and Maryland restrictions around flame throwers and just fun in general.

273
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 3: Well, California is like, well, you can have a flamethrower

274
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 3: that only throws ten ten feet of flame, where this

275
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 3: one does like something is like thirty fucking feet or

276
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 3: some shit, Like it's fucking horrifying.

277
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so counterintuitive that flamethrowers would be illegal that

278
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: one time Joe Biden was like giving a speech about

279
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: gun control, and he was like, I mean it's not

280
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: like you're allowed to own, uh, you can't own an

281
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: automatic weapon, you're not allowed to own a machine gun,

282
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to own a flame thrower. And people

283
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: are like, actually, you get three Pinocchio's on that because

284
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: you can own a flamethrower.

285
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 3: And shit, yeah, I mean, depending on your state you could.

286
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 3: You could probably get a fully automatic gun too at

287
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 3: a gun show.

288
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: Not a firearm, because a firearm is defined as quote,

289
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: a weapon that expels a projectile by the action of

290
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: an explosive, which is not how flamethrowers were.

291
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 3: Love that loophole, Love that loophole. Love that. Also this

292
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 3: thing is also you can fucking you can use napalm

293
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 3: with it.

294
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, has anyone even.

295
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 3: Seen like a Vietnam documentary at all?

296
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: Yeah?

297
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 3: And napalm and how okay whatever, But you can.

298
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: Documentaries coming up right now for some reason, I don't

299
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: know why.

300
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, are we in a similar time time loop?

301
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 3: Maybe will the hippie movement be able to evolve into

302
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 3: the yuppie movement because of the financial incentives that are

303
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 3: available to that group. I don't know.

304
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: They need to cut us in, that's it. You better

305
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: not cut us in in, bro, But yeah, I mean

306
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: Elon Musk had the idea to sell flame throwers as

307
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: a joke, but then like did it for the lulls

308
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 1: and tried to like fuck with restrictions by calling the

309
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: flame thrower not a flame thrower, even though it's clearly

310
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: a flame thrower. Yep, and that that ended in disaster,

311
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 1: but not a disaster that like gets publicized very often, right,

312
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: It's like like one American was thrown in jail in

313
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: Italy for having a flamethrower in Italy, which where which

314
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: is a country where flamethrowers are obviously illegal. Guy in

315
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: England had his house raided by the cops. More than

316
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: one thousand purchasers of the not a flamethrower had their

317
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: devices confiscated by customs officers or local police, and in

318
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: the US, the flamethrowers were implicated in multiple criminal investigations.

319
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, this will be fucking weird. Yeah, so remotely deploying.

320
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 3: I don't know, this is just something so fucked, Like

321
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 3: why are we like this is a fucking killing machine?

322
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 3: But or barbecue grill?

323
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: Dude, friend impressing?

324
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, cool, cool, cool cool cool, very cool, very cool.

325
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 3: I like this. I like flamethrower.

326
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: Dog.

327
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 3: Everything is very healthy in this country. We're all doing okay.

328
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 3: You can buy this for the low price of nine thousand,

329
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 3: four hundred twenty dollars truly.

330
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: I can't think of something that would have been more

331
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: impressive to me as a child.

332
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 3: Oh my dude, I if I'm fourteen, Yeah, I'm like

333
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 3: begging my parents to say I would be like I

334
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 3: don't need to go to college. I don't need to

335
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 3: go to college. Can I have some of them? If

336
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 3: you save any money for college? Can I use that

337
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 3: for a flamethrower dog to like, no, motherfucker, get the

338
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 3: fuck out of it. I like though that again, like

339
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 3: to your point, like the common sense around flamethrowers is like, yeah,

340
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 3: that shit can like fuck you up, destroy you is

341
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 3: like that. But that to the point where, like in

342
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, a fucking congressman had to fucking introduce a

343
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 3: bill because flamethrowers are so unregulated that the bill was

344
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 3: literally called flamethrowers Really Act.

345
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, the flame throwers really act.

346
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 3: That's where we fucking are. Yeah, But again that didn't

347
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 3: didn't get too far because I guess we have a

348
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 3: right to like literal five arms too.

349
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, don't be cute when you're like fighting like

350
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: a really terrible off, You'll be like, don't be like

351
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: America is having a normal one with flamethrowers.

352
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, thank you so much, Congressman Chandler bing, but

353
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 3: we could have done with maybe something a little bit

354
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 3: more just to the point. But I get it too.

355
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 3: It's like probably meant to bring attention because it does

356
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 3: feel like one of those things like how the fuck

357
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 3: are they still illegal?

358
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: Yeah?

359
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, and around we go.

360
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: Well. In better news, there's a new j Lo movie

361
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: that is coming out this year, and it is a

362
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: sci fi film called Atlas, which seems like it was

363
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 1: created just to make humanity be cool about AI. Yeah,

364
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: buddy flick, buddy fits. But yeah. So basically there's an

365
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: evil AI, which no surprise, Ye, Hollywood has a major

366
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: anti AI bias and they've been uh, you know, giving

367
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: us evil AI. But this one, uh you know. J

368
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: Lo's like, I hate that bad AI. I need I

369
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 1: need a buddy cop buddy who can help me. They're like,

370
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: how about this nice AI. Yeah. So it's like a

371
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: boilerplate buddy action movie but with AI playing a major role.

372
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. I like that. The logline is, quote, a brilliant

373
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 3: data analyst with a deep distrust of AI finds it

374
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 3: may be her only hope when a mission to capture

375
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 3: a renegade robot goes awry m m.

376
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: There you go.

377
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 3: That's kind of a poem. Actually, yeah, when it finds

378
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 3: my apinage to go awrye. Yeah. It also feels like

379
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 3: you can also like just swap out, like when a

380
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 3: racist cop you would never befriend a minority like is

381
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 3: on a mission on a case but realizes they might

382
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 3: be the only way for him to capture a renegade

383
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 3: person of color or some shit. It's so fucking weird,

384
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 3: and I like that. It's the whole thing is predicated

385
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 3: on someone having this like intellectual change of heart around

386
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 3: AI when we're in the midst of being like, man,

387
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 3: fuck all this shit, stop feeding us algorithmic horse shit.

388
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 3: We don't want it. And I think rightly people are

389
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 3: pointing out it's like, are you just trying to like

390
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 3: soften people up to.

391
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: Be like no, it's like I robot if the robots

392
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: were also good guys, which I guess they are. I

393
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: think there's good guy robots and I robot. But it's yeah,

394
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: or it's like night Rider, you know. I feel like

395
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: night Rider prepared us for the future where AI are

396
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: our buddies that we get to like Solf crimes with

397
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: At least that's what I'm doing in my spare time.

398
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: I don't know about you guys.

399
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 3: In Night Rider, was Michael Knight a cop?

400
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: I think he was a drifter. I'm pretty sure that

401
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: you used the phrase drifter, and but it was like

402
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: he was like part of some organization that was like, Okay,

403
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: we're gonna make you, like give you a fake identity,

404
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: and you're gonna.

405
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 3: Like go, hell fucking hell, dude, this is so fucked.

406
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

407
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 3: A billionaire rescues a cop after a near fatal shot

408
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 3: to the face, giving him a new identity by plastic

409
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 3: surgery and a new name, Michael Knight. Michael to be

410
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 3: the primary field agent, the primary program of his public

411
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 3: justice organization, the Foundation for Long Government. Flag that's a

412
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 3: red flag.

413
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't think he was a drifter.

414
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 3: I don't know. That's more fun that somehow drifter has

415
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 3: this like magical sentient car. Yeah, he's like, yeah, I'm

416
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 3: solving crimes. I don't know.

417
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: There were other shows that I watched around that time,

418
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: like Highway to Heaven. Do you remember that show, Michael Landon?

419
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like they were.

420
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: Essentially just like drifters. It was like hitchhiked on the highway. Yeah,

421
00:23:53,040 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: down the town anyways. Uh, those are those are some

422
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: of the things that are trending. We got this Thursday,

423

Speaker 1: April twenty fifth. We are back tomorrow with a whole

424
