I'm living here, 14 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,919 Speaker 1: we are, I'm all right. I am spent the morning, 15 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: uh researching healthcare options and boys that depressing. Don't do that? Wait? 16 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: Wait wait do you live in America? Oh, don't do that? Impossible, Katie, Katie, 17 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: have you tried just taking a shipload of vitamin C? 18 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: All options are on the table at this point. I 19 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: hear good things about iodine from Alex Jones. Hydroxy chloroquine, 20 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. That's the real key. I have been 21 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: on the Screen Actors Guild health insurance plan for a 22 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: very long time, which is I'm not gonna lie. A 23 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: wonderful plan, very affordable, and they kicked me off of 24 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: it for not making enough money during the pandemic. In 25 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: the middle of a pandemic. We're back to square one. Anyway. 26 00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,919 Speaker 1: That's my job story. My recommended and to you, Katie, 27 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: would be to do the same thing I did, which 28 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: is I had a years long under the table affair 29 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: with with Mitch McConnell that has a lot of footage 30 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: to it that he does not want to get out. 31 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna like, I'm not gonna like spill the 32 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: beans on what his kink is, but I'll give you 33 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: a one word hint spider webs. Anyway. Um as a result, 34 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: I do enjoy fantastic congressional healthcare. UM. Well, when we're 35 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: not recording, you're going to have to tell me more 36 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: about this. I mean, I'm just I think all of 37 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: our listeners should have a multi year sexual relationship with 38 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell if they too want healthcare. I don't spider 39 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: webs though, That's where I draw the line, well, Spider 40 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: is that they not so Etsy Bitsy Cody. Oh God. Anyway, 41 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: So we have an episode prepared for this week. I 42 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: wanted to lead off with something just because it started 43 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: happening today that I think our listeners might be interested 44 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: in hearing about and helping. There's a family and Portland, 45 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: the Kinneys. They are an Afro Indigenous family. They're one 46 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: of the last black families left in a very what 47 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: has become a very gentrified neighborhood in Portland. On September nine, 48 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: from Maltnama County, Sheriff's busted open their door at gunpoint 49 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: with assault rifles and ordered them to like get their 50 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: ship out of the house in thirty minutes. Um. Basically 51 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: as a result of a shady mortgage case by a 52 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: borderline criminal bank. Um, they're being evicted to make room 53 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: for a condo development. Uh. It's supposed to be illegal 54 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: to evict people in the entire state of Oregon right now, 55 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: but a condo wants to move in, so they're doing 56 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: it anyway. Um, their case was still in litigation anyway. 57 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: It's it's all very very shady and illegal. What is 58 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: happening to them? Activists in Portland have seven eviction blockade. 59 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: Seventeen of them got arrested the morning we've or the 60 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: day that we're recording this. Um like slashing cop tires, 61 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: breaking windows, doing everything you can to keep these people 62 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: in their homes. A lot of people are putting their 63 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: bodies on the line during a pandemic to try to 64 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: help these people. Thank you for sharing that with us. Cool. Uh, 65 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: let's do our episodes. Sorry, just happened? Um? Should we 66 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: start with the COVID relief package or do you want 67 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: to start with yours? Cool, Let's let's talk about COVID 68 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: since a nine elevens worth of people are dying every 69 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: day right now. Yeah, I think that's probably the most 70 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: pressing thing for everybody's day to day life, this COVID 71 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: relief package and what it entails. You guys are all smart. 72 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: You don't need me to tell you it's kind of fucked. 73 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: But UM, I'm here, I'm being paid to be here, 74 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna tell you that it's kind of fucked. Uh. 75 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: It's now been I don't know how many months has 76 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: it been since we got those direct payments, eight going 77 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: on nine months. Um, you know that that one time 78 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,799 Speaker 1: twelve hundred dollar pittance to some Americans, not every American. 79 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: But now we're although the average rent in America is 80 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: twelve dollars every eight or nine months, right, that should 81 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: do it. You should be should do it if you 82 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,559 Speaker 1: if you play your cards right, and if you don't 83 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: fuck you. Uh we're almost at the end of the year, 84 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: thank god. But the extended unemployment benefits are going to 85 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: dry up the day after Christmas. The day after Christmas 86 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: tis this season. Eviction moratoriums for renters and protections for 87 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: student borrowers are about to expire. UM. Also a federal 88 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: program for paid family leave. So you know, it's um 89 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: a lot of bad um. And the new consensus is 90 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: that the best course of action would be to tie 91 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: the stimulus package to the annual spending bill. That's complicated 92 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: by the fact that Congress is going into recess at 93 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: the end of this week. Uh so they're squabbling and UHM, 94 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: McConnell's being a goal will get into all of that soon. 95 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: It looks like McConnell a good dude. You would think 96 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: that's you've got some bias here speaking. I yeah, he did, 97 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: he did? I mean for healthcare. I fuck him. For healthcare. Yes, 98 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: you made just let's say that a lot. Let's like 99 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: McConnell for healthcare with no point dancing around it at 100 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: this No, no, especially since dancing is specifically not his king. 101 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: Don't dance around Mitch McConnell. He does not like that. Sorry, sorry, 102 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: m bomb. He likes me to call him embom m bomb. Uh, 103 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: well mbombs holding things up, so it looks like they're 104 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: going to have to vote on a one week stop 105 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: got to fund the government. Let's be fair. So is 106 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi. I mean what I actually wrote is McConnell 107 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: continues to hold things up and DEM's uh seem to 108 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: continue to capitulate on things. Um. But yes, Nancy Pelosi 109 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: is also what the d n c's mission statement is 110 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: to capitulate. That is just how it's done. It's how 111 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: it's always been done, and if you don't like it, 112 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: you can leave. Um. Side note completely related Biden plan 113 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: done having a position for specifically Republican outreach. I saw 114 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: that from you probably anyway, it's confusing what's happening, uh, 115 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: and that's understandable. We're gonna try to break it down here. Um, 116 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: there are two plans being floated. UH one is a 117 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: bipartisan plan. UM. I guess they're going to be releasing 118 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,239 Speaker 1: a more detailed outline of this bill and its specifics 119 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: on state and local aid. I'm sure it will come 120 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: out the minute we're done recording, but we have enough 121 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: information to go over the broad strokes. UM. This is 122 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: from USA Today quote. Last week, a bi bartistan group 123 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: of lawmakers released a nine hundred and eight billion dollar 124 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: aid proposal, which attracted the support of leading Democrats like 125 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: how Speaker Nancy Pelosi and some Republicans. It would provide 126 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: temporary unemployment relief along with aid for businesses and state 127 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: and local governments. The measure also includes funding for small businesses, 128 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: school healthcare, transit authorities, and student loans. You will notice 129 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: that that quote does not mention direct payments to American households. 130 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: That's because direct payments UH the thing that Americans desperately need, 131 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: especially if the government expects people to stay home to 132 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: curb covid UM. Those are not on the table. They're 133 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: not on the table in either of the plans. UM. 134 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: And I had already prepped all of this stuff when 135 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: I saw a report from Washington Post this afternoon that 136 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: the White Houses, I guess asking Republican senators to also 137 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: include UH an additional direct payment of six hundred dollars 138 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: to some Americans, which is something more than what they 139 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: had planned, but also pretty insulting dollars a year. That's 140 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: pretty good. That's twice the average American salary. Yeah, I 141 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: don't know. I get paid in Mitch McConnell's health care, 142 00:08:53,080 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: so I'm oh my god, boys, boys, spider webs. When 143 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: you say spider webs, is that what comes out of 144 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: his penis? Okay? Can you imagine a world in which 145 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell does not ejaculate spider webbs? No, I don't. 146 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: It could just be like puffs of dust. I think 147 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: spider webs because dust is too clean. It's definitely spider 148 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: is too clean, because his testicles are just giant arachnet eggs. Yeah, ready, 149 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: ready to hatch widows come boiling out science Sophie. Hey, boys, 150 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: shut then up, this, shut up, shut up. I mean 151 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: I've enjoyed this. This is news. Um. Also what's interesting 152 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: is that even though neither of these plans include direct 153 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: payments UM as of yet, unless the president held sway UM, 154 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: so many people are saying even Demo Crats and Republicans 155 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 1: are saying, yeah, you know, we really should be having 156 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: direct payments. We do know that that's what most people want, 157 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: and everyone knows. Everybody knows anyway, who knows? Uh. Back 158 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: back to the Bye Party bipartisan proposal. Under their plan, 159 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: the temporary unepployment relief UH is likely to be included. 160 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: So you can hold out hope for that, but it's 161 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: only going to be an additional three dollars um because 162 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: things have gotten so much better since they gave us 163 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: six hundred dollars a month. They gave us six hundred dollars. Yeah, 164 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: that's here's another quote. The bipartisan proposal is expected to 165 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: include about three hundred dollars per week in bonus federal 166 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: unemployment payments for roughly four months, providing relief just as 167 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: emergency aid payments at regular benefit levels are set to 168 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: expire at year's end. That would be a lower amount 169 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,359 Speaker 1: than the six hundred dollars per week that jobless Americans 170 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: had received under the Cares Act until late July. UH. 171 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: This plan is also expect to expect to extend base 172 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: benefits through March and Okay, so an important point I 173 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: I feel compelled to make here is that unemployment benefits 174 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: differ wildly from state to state. And California, I'm pretty 175 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: sure that max benefit is six dollars a week, but 176 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: that figure is very different for people in other states. 177 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 1: You know, some people might only be receiving two dollars 178 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: a week, uh, which is nothing. So for some people 179 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: the additional three unemployment might be enough to eat by, 180 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: but for many, many, many others, it absolutely won't. Um 181 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: And what's infuriating, I couldn't find the quote that I 182 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: was looking for, but I don't know. Maybe one of 183 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,719 Speaker 1: you guys saw this as well. Last week, Pelosi uh 184 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: express satisfaction with this plan despite the lack of direct 185 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: payments because a vaccine is coming, uh, which just really 186 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: really bothers me, because yeah, it's coming, but it's not 187 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: coming soon enough for most Americans to not be hit financially. 188 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: To continue to be hit financially doesn't make up for 189 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: the past eight months of zero help from the government. 190 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: It doesn't help people pay off the debt that they're 191 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: in crewing, it doesn't put food on the table. Um. 192 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: And yet this is somehow the good plan. Yeah, uh, 193 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: this is this is the good one, but don't worry, 194 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: Mitch refuses to back it, so we're probably not going 195 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: to get the good plan. One of the things that's 196 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: really frustrating is that in July, Senate Republicans offered one 197 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: point one trillion and billion for stimulus checks to Americans 198 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: um and a hundred and ten billion and unemployment. In 199 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: September they raised the offer to one point six trillion. 200 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: In October they raised the offer to one point eight trillion. 201 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: And obviously they were doing this because Trump believed that 202 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: it would help him win the election having his name 203 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: on more checks, and it might have helped. I don't 204 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: know if it aready already helped, but it seems like 205 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 1: it did help him. There's there's evidence that it did 206 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: help him. And Pelosi decided to play hardball and insisted 207 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: on two point to trillion or nothing repeatedly as the 208 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: Republicans increase their offers. And you can, to be honest, 209 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: like I definitely get like I I wasn't terrified of 210 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: the possibility of a second Trump term, and I still 211 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: think that it's I will say I'm not a hundred 212 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:20,839 Speaker 1: percent certain that that was necessarily the worst possible thing 213 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: to do. But also I don't think it would have 214 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: won him the election, and I think that the Democrats 215 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: should have gone in on it. Like where I've landed 216 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: is they should have fucking taken one point eight trillion, 217 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 1: and they should have made it clear what was happening, 218 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: and they should have made demands about like how like 219 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 1: whether or not the fucking president's name got to be out, 220 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: Like they had fucking options, and instead Pelosi just like 221 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: there were options, like obviously him attempting to buy his 222 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: way into a second term, there's danger there would have 223 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: led to additional deaths just based on what's happening. Like 224 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: I don't think the Democrats were wrong to want to 225 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: fight him using coronavirus AID to get a second term, 226 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: but they could have gotten that aid and mitigated its effects. 227 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: They didn't. Pelosi just wanted nothing because I think she knew. 228 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: She decided, and the people who actors decided that things 229 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 1: looking as bad as possible for Trump economically heading into 230 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: the election would guarantee them the election. I guess where 231 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: I am at is that you're not wrong to not 232 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: want Trump too, because the second Trump term would have 233 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: been even worse than the Biden term is going to 234 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: be I am firm on that. You're not wrong to 235 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: be worried about him taking advantage of this. But the 236 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: real fact of the matter, and like, the thing that 237 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: is frustrating here is that both of these sides, both 238 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: Republicans and the Democrats at the fucking congressional level, have 239 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: been soulless ghouls playing with the lives of millions of 240 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: people because it doesn't matter them. Nancy Pelosi is worth 241 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: like million dollars um. None of these people are going 242 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: to suffer the consequences of the high level games they 243 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: are playing. And Nancy Pelosi was not weighing letting the 244 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: President get a fucking aid package on with you know, 245 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: the coming of fascism, because she doesn't care about the 246 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: coming of a fucking fascist state. She was she was 247 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: weighing it against her political career and like how much 248 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: she could fund raise off of it and how much 249 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: it would help her winning. Like, there's a reason the 250 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: fucking she's presiding over the smallest House majority in a 251 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: fucking generation now, it's because people have seen through this game, 252 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: and it's one of those things. I am not on 253 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: the I am not on the same side as a 254 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: lot of other anarchists who say there's no point and 255 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: getting involved in electoralism because of how fucking scummy they 256 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: all are, and because at the end of the day, 257 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: they're all playing for the same side, which is the 258 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: side of this like hellish state. But they're not wrong 259 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: to hate all these people as much as they hate 260 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: the other people because they're they're all fucking trash and 261 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: is fucking trash. I mean, you're right. I I totally 262 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: under I. I I understand the desire to do whatever 263 00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: you can to kneecap Trump's reelection. I I get I 264 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: get that politically, but what you're doing is choosing politics 265 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: over people's actual lives. And I do believe that we 266 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: could have won without that, you know, I do believe 267 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: that that contributes to the loss of seats that we 268 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: saw this time around this election. Um, and it's all frustrating. 269 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: And if in October they could have taken the one 270 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: pot eight trillion dollar offer and safe see we've got 271 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: seven hundred billion additional dollars for you. We did it. 272 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: We did it, we the Democratic Party, and they would 273 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: have been right actually doing But now now what we're 274 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: dealing with is okay. So the bipartisan plan and eight billion. 275 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: But the other plan that Mitch McConnell is pushing for 276 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: it is only five hundred billion dollars. Yeah, Senate Majority 277 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: Leader Mitch McConnell has proposed a separate, smaller, five hundred 278 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: billion dollar deal that focuses on helping businesses stale float 279 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: while limiting their legal exposure to coronavirus related Yes, and 280 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: it's it's fucking it's so fucking gross. Um, it's gross 281 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 1: because yeah, because Romney Romney, like like you were just 282 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: talking about, there were a group of kind of more 283 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: moderate Republicans and Dems who got together to try to 284 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: work out a plan that could like keep people on 285 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: their fucking toes for the time being. Romney was a 286 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: part of it. And one of the things like, and 287 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,239 Speaker 1: that's the nine hundred something billion dollar offer. And one 288 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: of the things Romney was insisted upon is that, uh, 289 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: like indemnity for companies if they force their employees to 290 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: get the coronavirus basically like they're all And Romney is, 291 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: I don't feel any reservation saying one of the best 292 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: moral republic most moral Republicans in government. Um, and he's 293 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: he's willing to play games with people starving on the 294 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: street in order to make sure that corporations are immune 295 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: to the consequences of people risking their employees. Yeah, corporate people. Yeah, 296 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: so foolish. Um that what's that? It's really what's holding 297 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: things up right now? Um is is yes, just legal 298 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 1: protections for businesses against employees, shielding them from liability for 299 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: forcing people to work under dangerous conditions, you know, regardless 300 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: of their health status, their pre existing conditions, uh, their 301 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: home life, whatever they need. Uh, it's just it's it's 302 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: it's believably unbelievable. And for as for the bipartisan bill, 303 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: they are attempting to compromise on this sticking point by 304 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: including a provision that there would be a temporary reprieve 305 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: for companies from coronavirus related lawsuits, which I guess is 306 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: better than what Mitch wants. However, it's still shocking that 307 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: on any level, workers rights are being trampled on here. 308 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: You know, a temporary reprieve will still allow employers to 309 00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: ignore the pandemic and force people to go to work 310 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: regardless of the cases, regardless of their health. And I 311 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: just I can't, I can't, I can't wrap my round. 312 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: You know, they're having music festivals in Australia already. You 313 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: know why because their government, which sucks, met the minimum 314 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: competence threshold. It's just a good job. We're gonna talk 315 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: more about that. Yeah, there's a thing I want to 316 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: read on the funk Nancy Pelosi train, because we've rightfully 317 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: focused mostly on the Republicans and how awful they are 318 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,239 Speaker 1: this year, although I I do think we've done our 319 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: dude j diligence and talking about the crappulence of Joseph 320 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: Robin at Biden um. But I I I really want 321 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: to because like Mitch McConnell, uh in money um imbomb 322 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 1: whatever nickname I made up for him, he's he's we all, 323 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: he's like horrible, violent trash um. But Pelosi is just 324 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: as bad really in a lot of ways. And there's 325 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: a fucking quote from a political a Politico article on 326 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,719 Speaker 1: the spending deal that I think really uh sums it up. 327 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: And this was from just a couple of days ago. 328 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: Hurdles remain. Government funding runs out in just one week, 329 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: and there is still are still a sizeable number of 330 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: issues impeding on an agreement about a massive spending package 331 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: that would increase agency budgets for the rest of the 332 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: fiscal year. The sheer number of outstanding items at such 333 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: a late stage makes it increasingly likely that the congressional 334 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: negotiators will require a brief stop gap spending bill to 335 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: complete their work before leaving for the holidays. Such a 336 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 1: decision could be made early next week if lawmakers fail 337 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: to make significant progress over the weekend. Pelosi demurred when 338 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: asked about the possibility of a short term stop gap 339 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: to buy more time for talks, and dismiss the need 340 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: for a longer term continuing resolution that would extend current 341 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: government funding in the next year. We will take the 342 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: time that we need, Pelosi said, while acknowledging that a 343 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: number of issues remain, including some outside of appropriator's jurisdictions. 344 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: Don't worry about a date, she added, I hate don't. 345 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: People are gonna be in the street in a pandemic. 346 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: You soull is fucking hag. She like constantly talks like, 347 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: don't worry about it. Stop asking me questions. We don't 348 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: I know what I'm doing. It was not a mistake. 349 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: It's so frustrated. But congratulations to Nancy on retaining her 350 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: position as speaker. Nancy. In addition to what she spends 351 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: on like property taxes for the multiple homes and mansions 352 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: she lives, Nancy Pelosi could spend a million dollars a 353 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: year on just ice cream for the rest of her 354 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 1: life and die worth tens of millions of dollars. Jenny's 355 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: is a delicious brand of ice cream. It's it's not 356 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: bad ice cream, Like nobody says bad, tastes delicious. Nancy sucks. 357 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: On that note, we have to take a break for advertisements. 358 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: Today's episode brought to you by Spider Cup. Come ice 359 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 1: cream when you have lost your soul and can no 360 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: longer a jackculate normal semene everything, so don't And we 361 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: are back from outer space something I've walked in to 362 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: find us here. With that said, look upon our faces 363 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: that you can see because this is the visual media. 364 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Cody, Katie, how's it going. You're welcome, Cody. 365 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: You wanted to talk a little bit about other countries 366 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: and how they've responded to the novel Coronavirus. Yeah, um, 367 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: better than us. End of segment Um, yeah, vamp a 368 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: little more um Yeah, I mean, like Rubber mentioned, Australia's 369 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: doing great. They're partying. Uh. There are a lot of 370 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: nations that did better. UM, and we failed were failures 371 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: were number one in failing. We did such a bad job. 372 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: We're number one. We rule um and uh. Just in 373 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 1: looking at sort of the responses, UM, I'm gonna focus 374 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: let's on like the relief packages, because it's sort of 375 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: hard to quantify um the usefulness of each package. UM. 376 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: You know I could go through like okay, this, uh, 377 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: this nation did this amount for unemployment every week, or 378 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: this did this. But a common thread when you look 379 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: at all these countries that have very low number of deaths, 380 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: very few cases, the common threat is that they have 381 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: way better social safety nets than we do. They have 382 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: a good health care system, they have universal healthcare, they 383 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: have universal paid leave. Can I say one thing, tying 384 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: it back to my adventure in health insurance research and 385 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 1: just thinking about all of this talk about how we're 386 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: just protecting businesses, you know, which is good. We should 387 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: protect businesses. Wouldn't universal health care be better for businesses 388 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:17,640 Speaker 1: like that people don't have to provide that um, Better 389 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 1: for businesses, and also better for people so that their 390 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 1: health is not tied to their particular employer. UM. It's 391 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 1: a grotesque system that it's weird that anybody would defend 392 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: it if they are not paid to do so. That's 393 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: gro tesque for a different reason. But anyway, I I 394 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: disagree code. I think people need to pull themselves up 395 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: from their bootstraps and really just just get get down 396 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: on Mitch McConnell. You know, I was gonna I was 397 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: gonna say this sounds like spider cum talky um and 398 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: that spider Cum again, haven't I have to mention every 399 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: single time anybody mentions bootstraps, the phrase pick yourself up 400 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: here boosteps was invented to point out how stupid that 401 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 1: idea is. Yes, and it was going to Yeah, then 402 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: it's impossible to right wing YouTubers made videos pulling themselves 403 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: up by their bootstraps to try to prove that it 404 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: was possible, because it is again impossible to tell comedy anymore. 405 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: There's no such thing as jokes anymore. We're all doomed funny, yeah, 406 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 1: laughing all the way to the bank in hell. Yeah. 407 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: So that's I mean, that's a That's a huge part 408 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: of this is that most of these nations have um 409 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 1: some some sense of security for people who are already 410 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: down on their luck there despite like a crisis, a 411 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 1: massive crisis like this um better unemployment benefits again, yeah, 412 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: paid leave. Yeah. My friends in Germany who are artists 413 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,479 Speaker 1: and musicians are getting several thousand dollars a month from 414 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: the government to just exist while there's a pandemic that 415 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: makes their jobs impossible. Meanwhile, my friends in the United 416 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: States that are in the live events and music industry 417 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: are terrified and out of work completely. I mean, what 418 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 1: did I send Canada? AOC was tweeting a few days 419 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: ago about how Canada did two thousand dollars? Yeah. Yeah, 420 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: because some countries want there to be a society uh yeah, 421 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: Germany that wages up to a maximum of uh the 422 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: equivalent of seven thousand United States dollars. That like every 423 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: single nation has some variety of this um and like 424 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: there there's a lot of great criticisms with the Canadian 425 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: and the German governments, but the people in charge in 426 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: both of them at least want there to be a society. 427 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 1: Like that's the thing. Like Republicans and a lot of 428 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: Democrats don't care about their being a society in any way, 429 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: shape or form. They don't because like it's not fucking 430 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: profitable for them personally. And I just I, you know, 431 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,239 Speaker 1: M I don't like to know. I talk a lot 432 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: about how I don't think it's productive to talk super 433 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: much about guillotines, But I get wanting to string these 434 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 1: people up in the public square and punish them physically. 435 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: It's not that they don't deserve it. It's that it 436 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: leads to worse things for people who don't deserve it 437 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: when you start doing that generally. And that's all I'll say, 438 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: I what then you were going to choose their but guillotine? Yeah, 439 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, for example, like the guillotine is 440 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: actually very problematic because the French government used it on 441 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: a lot of black people in their overseas colonies and 442 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: just generally non white people in their overseas colonies to 443 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: clamp down on resistance. Because actually the history, like the 444 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: way that it tends to work out is when you 445 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: start violently taking revenge on the people who do deserve it, 446 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: within a few months, you're violently taking revenge on people 447 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: who don't deserve it. And that's just the way it is. 448 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: We don't talk about guillotines too much, No, it's not, 449 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: But I get the I get the impulse because you 450 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: read something like Nancy Pelosi's saying, don't worry about a date, 451 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: and you're like, well, fuck, yeah, well, what do you 452 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,199 Speaker 1: want from us? Do you When you read about Nancy 453 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: how people are trading on water futures, well, then fucking 454 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: um it's like and it's like, what do you expect? Um, 455 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: It's why all these rich fox are uh investing in 456 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: their bunkers. It's why they're bunkering down because they know 457 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 1: they know they don't have any anyway. Um. You know 458 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: you can go through each of these governments. Uh stimulus. Also, 459 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: it's we I I find it a lot of the 460 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: language behind this is frustrating. I keep seeing like like 461 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's like, you know, people aren't asking for handouts, 462 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: they're asking for help. Handouts are fine? Uh even calling 463 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: it like a stimulus check, It's not a stimulus check. 464 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: It's like fucking survival. Well, and it's also, if you 465 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: want to fucking look at it like a capitalist, it's 466 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: giving people dividends for the country that they built, right exactly. Well, 467 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: that's the other thing, right, it's not it out. It's 468 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: like it's giving us the money back. It's keeping the 469 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: economy going if you want to look at it like 470 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: that too, because there are like the fucking people in 471 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: Germany and Canada who are responsible for making sure that 472 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: the people are getting money during this period. They're not 473 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: fucking communists. They're all capitalists who, or at least most 474 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: of them are. They just again want to live in 475 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: a society. But like again, but again, that's like America 476 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: is just uniquely unfit and unequipped to handle this because 477 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: any sense of that anything, any payment like that is 478 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: going to be seen is just comy comy ship right, 479 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: Um corporation. If it's to corporation, well, that's that's helping um, 480 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: that's welfare. I guess, general welfare, general welfare. It's because 481 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: the average conservative in the United States gets more physically 482 00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: enraged at the thought of a poor black fan only 483 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: being given a month's rent by the government than they 484 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: do at the thought of everything that happened in fucking 485 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: in with in Ron, Like all of the fucking Enron 486 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: executives who were like blatantly committing crimes in order to 487 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: manipulate the energy market that caused rolling blackouts that got 488 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: people killed. That makes them less angry than a single 489 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: black family getting seven hundred dollars from the government to 490 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: pay their rent for one month like that. That like, 491 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: that's the that's how it is. Actually country more than 492 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: a trillion dollars um to like bump up the market 493 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: for like a fucking day. Yeah, we should did Nobody 494 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: None of them got angry about that. Nobody cared about that. 495 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: That was back in March, by the way, Um, we 496 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: could have given people fucking money. So that's another thing actually, 497 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: so thinking of of of March the month another So 498 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: aside from the fact that a lot of these places 499 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: already have systems in place to deal with things like 500 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: that and to ease people's struggle. Aside from that, a 501 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: common thread with many of these nations, Australia included, is 502 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: that they reacted early to what was going on. Um, 503 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: instead of like, let's say, um, let's say a president 504 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: like it doesn't want to make people panic, so he 505 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: like downplays it for months and months and months and 506 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: says that like masks don't matter and it's all like 507 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: virtue signal bullshit, and that uh, you know, maybe it's 508 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: like the China hoax or something or whatever it is. 509 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: Imagine a nation like that um, they're not going to 510 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: do a good job. But all of these places either 511 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: locked down early UM, requiring like temperature checks and not 512 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: even in even in places where they didn't, like completely 513 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: locked down requiring temper checks in public places that you 514 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: go into if you're going into a store, you get 515 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: your temperature checked. UM, massive testing and tracing programs, UM. 516 00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: All of these things that you would want to do 517 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: up top in order two be fucking Australia and party 518 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: at the end of the year. So it's just like 519 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: things like that. Is it's very frustrating to see, um 520 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: because it is a lot of it is aside from 521 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: American culture and like how we're set up and um 522 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: all of our our welfare systems and things like that. UM. 523 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to be like Orange Man bad, but 524 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: he did not fucking help at all. See he seems 525 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: really bad and creating uh this anti uh science, anti 526 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: like expert sort of atmosphere where half the country just 527 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: doesn't uh necessarily believe it's a big deal. UM. And 528 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: then you're gonna get even during lockdowns, you're gonna get 529 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: people who aren't really participating in the social distancing or 530 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: anything like that, which again Australia and all of these places. 531 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: They just did it. It wasn't a partisan thing. It's 532 00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: not like if you're a Democrat, you do it. If 533 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: you're again, you don't. It's just like we all agree, 534 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: we're a nation of people, we live in a society, 535 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: and we're gonna do this for a few weeks or 536 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: however long, and then we're gonna be able to party 537 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: like it's one And they just did it. It's a 538 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: minimal sacrifice that again, these governments actually help people. Make 539 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 1: you ask for the sacrifice, and you say, and also, 540 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: we'll pay you to stay home, will help you with this, 541 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: We'll cancel evictions. You cannot lose your home in this 542 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: during this time, and things like that. And uh, there's 543 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: so many, so many things we could have done months 544 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: and months and months ago that would have gotten us 545 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: not record numbers every single day. The fucking infuriating thing 546 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: is that doing the right thing would have benefited the 547 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: capital holding class more than the present status quo to 548 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 1: everyone would be better off in including rich people. And 549 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: it because it's not at the end of the day, 550 00:33:58,320 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: this is not and I think this is something that 551 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: there is somewhat of a misconception about this is not 552 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: the fucking uh corporate oligarchs making like cold, soulless decisions 553 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,760 Speaker 1: about their own financial benefit over you know, poor people's lives. 554 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,320 Speaker 1: This is more than anything about the revulsion a huge 555 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: chunk of the American populace feels about people getting quote 556 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: unquote handouts. That's most of it, because again, the same 557 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: kind of asshole oligarchs are in Germany and Canada and 558 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 1: run Germany and Canada. They're just not Australia's suck. Yeah, 559 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 1: it's terrible Australia, it's so racist. They're just all way 560 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: more reasonable. They're not They're not completely out of touch 561 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: with the basic facts of reality. Yeah. Um, I'm curious 562 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: to know. I mean, does anybody has anybody seen anything 563 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,320 Speaker 1: to the effect of, like if support for some of 564 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: these programs for Medicare for all, etcetera has changed? I mean, 565 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,320 Speaker 1: I already know that it was popular with the majority 566 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: of Americans, but has that number even shifted further? I'm 567 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: curious to see how that. Um, I don't. I don't 568 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: have that in front of me that the notion wise, nationwise, 569 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: something like thirty of Americans are on the verge of 570 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: not being able to afford to stay in their homes 571 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:23,320 Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, yeah, even like I mean, it's pretty good, miserable, 572 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: even like two thirds of adults in America, I wouldn't 573 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: go to the doctor with coronavirus symptoms because of the 574 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: out of pocket costs that that are involved. Again, looking 575 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: at these healthcare plans, none of them are affordable. But 576 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 1: even the affordable ones, doing your doctor exam your pen 577 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,839 Speaker 1: a hundred bucks or something like that just for a routine. Yeah, 578 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,239 Speaker 1: I mean talking to anybody like anywhere else and be like, oh, yeah, 579 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: my health insurance, then like you have to describe like okay, 580 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,839 Speaker 1: well you pay a premium every month, and that's very high. 581 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: And then when you go in you have to pay 582 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,439 Speaker 1: a copay, and that's another thing you have to pay. 583 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: And then you also have to meet this deductible which 584 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 1: is also very very very high. It's a serious and 585 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 1: even at that, we cap it at six thousand dollars, 586 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: we'll pay for your hospital visit whatever it is. Yeah, oh, 587 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: it's not like like that, because that's famously the max 588 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: that medical care can cost anyone to six thousand dollars. 589 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:29,439 Speaker 1: Exactly tell that to me anyway, Wolf guys. And on that, Yeah, 590 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: is it time for an ad? It might be it 591 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: might be time for that. It feels like it's time 592 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 1: for an ad because Sophie said, on that note, I 593 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 1: think if you like to take a break for an 594 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 1: ad break, we got you promo code.

Um. 640 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 1: Lynwood tweeted, good morning, Our country is headed to civil war, 641 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: a war created by third party bad actors for their benefit, 642 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 1: not for we the people.

Tom, I'm 658 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:04,680 Speaker 1: not going to try to pronounce his last name. It 659 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 1: looks stupid. President of the Tea Party affiliated We the 660 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 1: People Convention and executive director of the Portage County Tea 661 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 1: Party published a full page ad in the Washington Times 662 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 1: newspaper strong Words, calling Washington Times a newspaper, demanding that 663 00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: President Trump invoke limited martial law in order to allow 664 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,719 Speaker 1: the US military to oversee a new, free and fair 665 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,800 Speaker 1: federal election if legislators, courts, and the Congress do not 666 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,839 Speaker 1: follow the Constitution. I said his last name was dumb. 667 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:36,319 Speaker 1: Zawatowski stupid last name. Hate it. Zawatowski said, we wanted 668 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,320 Speaker 1: to express our concerns to the president, to the legislators, courts, 669 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 1: and Congress, that we the people will not seed our 670 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 1: exclusive constitutional right to elect our representatives, to judges, lawyers, courts, governors, 671 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: secretaries of state, Congress, corrupt election officials and local politicians, 672 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 1: the corrupt media, or leftist threats of violence. It is 673 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,920 Speaker 1: our exclusive right all caps to elect the president, and 674 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 1: that sacred right has been infringed by them massive planned, 675 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 1: illegal election fraud conducted by corrupted Democrat comment or slash 676 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,839 Speaker 1: socialist party operatives across our nation to steal our vote. 677 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 1: We will not stand for it. I do think it's 678 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: fun that they talk about it being their exclusive right 679 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 1: to elect the president when it's like, actually, none of 680 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: us have a right to elect the president. We get, yeah, 681 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,239 Speaker 1: But also the fact that it's they're they're clearly saying 682 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 1: we conservatives have the exclusive, the exclusive that is what 683 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:31,919 Speaker 1: they're saying. The AD compares the extraordinary executive and also 684 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,560 Speaker 1: extraordinary and executive. Both the ease and both are capitalized 685 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 1: weird capitalization. In general, the AD compares the extraordinary executive 686 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 1: actions implemented by President Abraham Lincoln and his efforts to 687 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: save the Union during the Civil War and the literal 688 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: civil war that is dividing our nation today. So now 689 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,839 Speaker 1: they're saying it's a literal, literal civil war today. Yeah, 690 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 1: without full confidence that our courts or Congress will indeed 691 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,319 Speaker 1: follow the twelfth Amendment of the Constitution and defend our 692 00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,759 Speaker 1: electoral process, the AD calls upon President Trump Lincoln to 693 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: exercise the extraordinary powers of his office and declare limited 694 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:08,280 Speaker 1: martial law to tipporarily suspend the Constitution in civilian control 695 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 1: of these federal elections in order to have the military 696 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,400 Speaker 1: implement a national revote that reflects the true will of 697 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 1: the people. Federal candidates only paper ballots, no computers, hand counted, 698 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 1: with both parties watching every vote, only registered voters photo 699 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,480 Speaker 1: id to prove residents conducted safely, with everyone wearing masks 700 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 1: and six ft apart, just like we did in Ohio. 701 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:33,879 Speaker 1: I guess that slip that in. Yeah, for the reasonable, Yeah, Yeah, 702 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,439 Speaker 1: for the people who aren't completely on the fucking moon 703 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,080 Speaker 1: right now. Yeah. I love it that, Like, like, these 704 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,719 Speaker 1: people are not abiding by the Constitution, so we have 705 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:49,600 Speaker 1: to suspend the constitution. Partial. Partial. Yeah. On June twelve, 706 00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,440 Speaker 1: eighteen sixty three. Lincoln defended his extreme measures in a 707 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,880 Speaker 1: letter published in The New York Times, citing article one 708 00:43:54,920 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 1: of them, he argued, ours is a is a rebellion, 709 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,840 Speaker 1: in fact, a clear, fragrant, flagrant, and gigantic case of rebellion. 710 00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 1: And the provision of the Constitution that the privilege of 711 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 1: the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless, 712 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 1: when in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety 713 00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,239 Speaker 1: may require it is the provision which specifically applies to 714 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,360 Speaker 1: our present case. Lincoln used the same reasoning and justifying 715 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 1: a series of extraordinary presidential orders, and now would we 716 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,279 Speaker 1: have a bullet pointed list. Lincoln ordered hundreds of new 717 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,759 Speaker 1: Northern newspapers that spoke against him to be shut down 718 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,480 Speaker 1: and their owners and editors arrested. Lincoln ordered the arrest 719 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 1: of Ohio Congressman Clement Vallingtonham for the crime of speaking 720 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,800 Speaker 1: out against him. Chief Justice of the US Roger Taney, 721 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 1: ruled that Lincoln had violated the US Constitution when he 722 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,840 Speaker 1: illegally suspended the writ of habeas corpus. After hearing this, 723 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: Lincoln sign and arrest warrant to have the Chief Justice 724 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,279 Speaker 1: of the U s arrested. Lincoln ordered the arrest of 725 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 1: thousands in Maryland for the crime of suspected Southern sympathies, 726 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 1: including ordering the arrest of US Congressman Henry May from Maryland. 727 00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,919 Speaker 1: These people were arrested and held in military prisons without trial, 728 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 1: some of them for years. This is what they're advocating 729 00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:01,320 Speaker 1: be done today are saying it was a ashist. What's happening? 730 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,799 Speaker 1: He he kind of was. Absolutely. I have long been 731 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 1: of the opinion that both Abraham Lincoln was on the 732 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 1: right side because of how horrible the South slave Empire was, 733 00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 1: and that it's good he got shot. Yeah, you know, 734 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,480 Speaker 1: I've play with that stuff without getting shot. He certainly 735 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,800 Speaker 1: isn't the hero that American history would like us to. 736 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:27,000 Speaker 1: Probably this isn't making the case that he wanted to make. 737 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 1: Want did he specify which Supreme Court justice he wants to? 738 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,360 Speaker 1: I think they just want all of the Supreme Court. Today, 739 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:39,840 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court refused to halt the certification of the 740 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 1: election in Pennsylvania. No discenter, no, no dissent, not a 741 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,319 Speaker 1: single one of them, not not even the again moon 742 00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 1: Lady uh dissented. Um. So, anyway, we have well funded, 743 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:57,279 Speaker 1: armed and trained Marxists in all captain INTIFA and BLM 744 00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:01,640 Speaker 1: strategically positioned in our major cities, acting openly with violence 745 00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:05,280 Speaker 1: to silence opposition to their anti American agenda, attacking federal 746 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 1: buildings and police, cowardly punching innocent people in the back 747 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,800 Speaker 1: of the head, assaulting people just eating and restaurants, and 748 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 1: burning minority owned businesses to the ground. By the way, 749 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,200 Speaker 1: two days ago in the capital of Washington, Olympia, a 750 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,840 Speaker 1: right wing protesters shot a man across the chest with 751 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,040 Speaker 1: a handgun after hitting him in the face for no reason. 752 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 1: Um if anyway, well, I'm just gonna read one last thing, 753 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 1: the last paragraph. Many will object to these actions as 754 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,759 Speaker 1: they did in Lincoln's day, but we assure you that 755 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,560 Speaker 1: we the people understand that no less action will suffice 756 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,640 Speaker 1: in the loss of our constitutional right to vote and 757 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,000 Speaker 1: preserve our republic. It is time to honor your oath, 758 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,239 Speaker 1: Mr President. It is time for you to boldly act 759 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 1: to save our nation as Lincoln did. We the people 760 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,200 Speaker 1: will support a national revote. We also have no other 761 00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,200 Speaker 1: choice but to take matters into our own hands and 762 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:51,920 Speaker 1: defend our rights on our own. If you do not 763 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,120 Speaker 1: act within your powers to defend us kind us seems 764 00:46:55,160 --> 00:47:01,120 Speaker 1: like a roof does so, li would is a big backward. 765 00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,240 Speaker 1: In the speech he gave like four days ago in Georgia, 766 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:07,759 Speaker 1: he not only told people that we are in a 767 00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:11,120 Speaker 1: civil war, uh, and that it is time for Americans 768 00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 1: to like pick up arms basically, but he also said 769 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:18,200 Speaker 1: to not vote because the election in Georgia, the congressional one, 770 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:23,239 Speaker 1: is going to be a fraud anyway. I can't I yeah, 771 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,200 Speaker 1: I can't express so much. I hope they take that 772 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:29,359 Speaker 1: to heart. Yeah, so do I. UM. A source close 773 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:34,040 Speaker 1: to Potus, according to Axius axios Um, said that the 774 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 1: President has communicated both to Powell and Would that he 775 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,320 Speaker 1: thinks they're fucking out of their minds and that Perdu 776 00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 1: and Leftler need to be re elected. Um. And that's 777 00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,799 Speaker 1: why he's heading to Georgia in order to like tell 778 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,279 Speaker 1: voters to make the case that they need to vote 779 00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 1: for these people reasonable fans from Donald Trump. Yeah, it 780 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,440 Speaker 1: does seem like what's part of what's happening here is 781 00:47:54,520 --> 00:48:01,480 Speaker 1: that this fucking, like, this dangerous, unhinged, violent ashist movement 782 00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,719 Speaker 1: that they have been harnessing to pass tax breaks for 783 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:08,480 Speaker 1: the rich is getting out of their hands. Uh. And 784 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,600 Speaker 1: in the short term, yeah, it's fun. They might lose 785 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,560 Speaker 1: a couple of Senate elections because of this, But in 786 00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,320 Speaker 1: the long term, someone will come along who's willing to 787 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:19,080 Speaker 1: fully use this, which continues to be my big worry 788 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:23,480 Speaker 1: even as you know Trump leaves the stage. Um. But 789 00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,479 Speaker 1: that's all really a big bummer and a bigger topic today. 790 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,920 Speaker 1: Let's yeah, that's so, let's talk about Lynn Wood. Because 791 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 1: Lynnwood's fascinating. Um. Because listening to everything I've said about 792 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,239 Speaker 1: him so far and what he supports, you might think 793 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:40,320 Speaker 1: he's just a normal grifter like Juliani, just another sleazy 794 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,080 Speaker 1: lawyer signing onto Donald Trump's team in order to make 795 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,279 Speaker 1: a buck. I don't know if I think that's what's 796 00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:49,879 Speaker 1: going on with lynn He's a fascinating character. So first off, 797 00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,640 Speaker 1: lynn would, unlike a lot of these guys, grew up 798 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,160 Speaker 1: had about as difficult and upbringing as you can imagine. 799 00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:59,200 Speaker 1: He grew up dirt poor in a in Making, Georgia, 800 00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,000 Speaker 1: which is not a big town, was a buch smaller town. 801 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,799 Speaker 1: When he was a little kid, um like, very very poor, 802 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:07,959 Speaker 1: with a profoundly abusive father.

Um, and his dad got two years 806 00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 1: in prison for that crime, which inspired Lynn to become 807 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 1: a lawyer, which makes sense, right Yeah. Yeah. He wound 808 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,600 Speaker 1: up becoming over the course of his career like the 809 00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:36,400 Speaker 1: guy you hire in defamation cases, and he was not 810 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:41,960 Speaker 1: always or even necessarily super often in the wrong. His 811 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,919 Speaker 1: first really big national case was during the Olympic park 812 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:50,279 Speaker 1: bombings in the mid nineties. Um, when that guy like 813 00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 1: bombed the Olympics.

Um, 818 00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,200 Speaker 1: good for him. Would has gone on to have a 819 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:17,320 Speaker 1: really weirdly mixed record of representing people. Um. For example, 820 00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:23,719 Speaker 1: he represented uh, the fucking the Stoneman kid in that like, uh, 821 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 1: you know remember that thing that happened like two years 822 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:30,600 Speaker 1: ago when showed up Yeah yeah yeah n r R 823 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:36,080 Speaker 1: N c uh star is that he Yeah, yeah, he's 824 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:41,040 Speaker 1: successfully represented Sandman. He successfully represented Mark and Patricia McCloskey. 825 00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:46,080 Speaker 1: He also unsuccessfully represented the that heroic diver that fucking 826 00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 1: uh Tesla dude dude called a a pedo guy. Um, 827 00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,120 Speaker 1: so he has a weird and he's represented a lot 828 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,560 Speaker 1: of other people. He represented the brother of John Bevan 829 00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:01,160 Speaker 1: A Ramsey for defamation cases um like again he's not 830 00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:08,560 Speaker 1: always wrong and Caine defamation Um. He also represents. He's 831 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,600 Speaker 1: also advised Congress is first, Q and on adherent Georgia 832 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 1: Ret Marjorie Taylor Green and kind of when you look 833 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,400 Speaker 1: at this guy, because he was not out of his 834 00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,239 Speaker 1: mind all of his life, it seems like something has 835 00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,200 Speaker 1: happened to him in the last couple of years that 836 00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:25,440 Speaker 1: his like damn, I no, I think it's Q and 837 00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,800 Speaker 1: on um his he has where we Go, One we 838 00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:33,439 Speaker 1: Go all on his Twitter account. He's working and there's 839 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:34,960 Speaker 1: and one of the things that makes me think that 840 00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,800 Speaker 1: actually there might be this might be the case of 841 00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:41,399 Speaker 1: a guy who was once broadly speaking reasonable, like kind 842 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,239 Speaker 1: of losing it. I'm actually going to quote now from 843 00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,400 Speaker 1: a political article on him. According to a lawsuit filed 844 00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 1: in August by three lawyers who worked with him, would 845 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:53,640 Speaker 1: in late two thousand nineteen, began acting erratically, making abusive, 846 00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:57,080 Speaker 1: incoherent phone calls, voicemails, texts, and emails. All of these 847 00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,880 Speaker 1: erratic communications have a few things in common. Most of 848 00:51:59,920 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 1: these emails professed that God are the Almighty was commanding 849 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,960 Speaker 1: his actions. Many were stating his refusal to play that 850 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,719 Speaker 1: pay the plaintiffs one thin dime, and virtually all were abusive. 851 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,320 Speaker 1: The lawsuit alleges woods as behavior continued to deteriorate, including 852 00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,080 Speaker 1: assault and battery on two of them, although quote there 853 00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,840 Speaker 1: was essentially no reason whatsoever for the attack, and defendant 854 00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:23,160 Speaker 1: would later acknowledged and apologized for this violence. Um later 855 00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,160 Speaker 1: said that this is a shakedown. Yeah, two nineteen that 856 00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,919 Speaker 1: would line up well with your Q and on. Yeah, 857 00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:30,839 Speaker 1: it seems like a mix of Q and on. Also, 858 00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,720 Speaker 1: he's an older man. Sometimes people have like small strokes 859 00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,080 Speaker 1: in their old age, and it causes personality shifts that 860 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,960 Speaker 1: can cause great That happened to my grandma. Um, you know, 861 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 1: it can cause like like fits of rage and stuff. Um, 862 00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:44,600 Speaker 1: it can make people I don't know, I don't know, 863 00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:48,440 Speaker 1: but like it does sound like he had a significant 864 00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:52,040 Speaker 1: and notably bizarre personality shift because like one of the 865 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,799 Speaker 1: things that's going on right now is because of how 866 00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,520 Speaker 1: like like bright Bart is obviously on the side of 867 00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 1: people should vote for Republicans in this congress An election. 868 00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,000 Speaker 1: So they just published a hit piece on Lyndwood where 869 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:04,960 Speaker 1: they point out that through most of his life he's 870 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:09,239 Speaker 1: donated heavily to Democrats, including Barack Obama. Um, but how 871 00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:13,960 Speaker 1: does help because they're making they're they're making the case 872 00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,640 Speaker 1: that he's a secret Democratic operative trying to stop the 873 00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,560 Speaker 1: Republicans from winning by telling Republicans not to vote. Like 874 00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 1: that's that's the bright Bart. It's very strange when I 875 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:29,440 Speaker 1: look at this, I think this might be a guy 876 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:33,640 Speaker 1: who's a combination of of kind of sick getting ill 877 00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,640 Speaker 1: in his old age and also has been fucking a 878 00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,600 Speaker 1: hardcore pilled by the Internet, and as because he's an 879 00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:43,280 Speaker 1: older guy, no real sort of like built in immunity 880 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,680 Speaker 1: to Internet disinformation. Obviously, a bunch of different things are 881 00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,600 Speaker 1: happening here, but Wood does strike me as a kind 882 00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:53,960 Speaker 1: of a different figure than like just a grifter like Giuliani. Um, 883 00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:58,560 Speaker 1: something very weird is happening with this guy. Yeah, Julianni 884 00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:03,160 Speaker 1: is like an acceleration of Juliani. Yeah, this seems like 885 00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:08,680 Speaker 1: a bit of a turn for for lynn Wood, you know. Yeah, 886 00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,000 Speaker 1: like representing a Salman and rittenhouse isn't a turn, but 887 00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,680 Speaker 1: going a hard core Q and on and like we 888 00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:19,479 Speaker 1: do he's got a parlor account that's no. But also 889 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:24,000 Speaker 1: this is just a hard pivot. This isn't a definition case. Yeah, 890 00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:29,200 Speaker 1: it's bizarre. What's happening with right, like defamation against America, 891 00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:32,640 Speaker 1: I guess is what he's fight. Yeah, but like well, 892 00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,600 Speaker 1: and also he's not like Juliani has never been a 893 00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:39,040 Speaker 1: good lawyer, like never, like he's never done question, Like 894 00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,120 Speaker 1: he hasn't been right. I mean people say I've heard 895 00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,000 Speaker 1: seen people say he used to be kind of good. 896 00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:47,640 Speaker 1: I don't believe that. I don't. It's certainly not at 897 00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,400 Speaker 1: the kind of ship that he's been trying to do 898 00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:55,719 Speaker 1: federal cases. Lynn Would has a reputation that's backed up 899 00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,440 Speaker 1: for being a way better lawyer than he's being right now. 900 00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:03,279 Speaker 1: I I can't understand anybody wanting to tie their name 901 00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:09,600 Speaker 1: to what's happening, you know, and to make it worse, Yeah, 902 00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:14,120 Speaker 1: I mean by all means make it worse, baffling, oh show, 903 00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:19,200 Speaker 1: make it worse by all means, Yeah, Yeah, this is 904 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:26,560 Speaker 1: all very strange. Is Lincoln what's his first name? Then 905 00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:31,279 Speaker 1: Lucien Lucy and Lincoln Lucy and Lincoln Wood Jr. Yeah, 906 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,600 Speaker 1: he's a weird named guy too. Anyway, I just I 907 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:39,360 Speaker 1: started reading about this guy and like, he's fascinating Lee strange. Honestly, 908 00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,279 Speaker 1: I don't know anything about him, but it does sound 909 00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,600 Speaker 1: like some of his employees. I have also noted that 910 00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,279 Speaker 1: like things have really changed for him in the last 911 00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:52,560 Speaker 1: year or so. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I bet there's like 912 00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,960 Speaker 1: a be able to see it if you like really 913 00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,920 Speaker 1: looked at like his tweets for yeah, when did it happen? 914 00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:04,239 Speaker 1: Thank you for this deep dive medium dive onto him, 915 00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:10,200 Speaker 1: odd fellow.

P that's very very cool. What did I see? Like, 919 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:26,279 Speaker 1: I don't know the number. I can't make it up. 920 00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:33,880 Speaker 1: A shockingly small number of Republicans have very few. Um 921 00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,520 Speaker 1: again yeah, I I also don't want to make say 922 00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:44,719 Speaker 1: three I think, but yeah, and like just overwhelmingly people 923 00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,759 Speaker 1: just do not answer the question whether or not Biden one. 924 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:52,759 Speaker 1: I know that I know that this phrase is so overused, 925 00:56:52,840 --> 00:57:00,360 Speaker 1: but what a time to be alive?
