Speaker 1: one of these, I was like, it was just that

Speaker 1: K too fastly, too furious. That is from marsh in Tech.
Speaker 1: I think it is a reference to the fact that
Speaker 1: I used the word fastly on an episode, which is
Speaker 1: not a word. You don't you don't need to add
Speaker 1: the l y, but I think I think you'd like
Speaker 1: to be a word. Yeah, sometimes you just need to
Speaker 1: add the l y. It just feels verbify whatever you want,
Speaker 1: and I mean fast doesn't need it to be an adverb.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't hurt unless you want people to think
Speaker 1: you're smart. Fast lea fast least do it please fastly, sir. Anyways,
Speaker 1: I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co
Speaker 1: host Mr Miles Grass Miles Gray a k. It was
Speaker 1: all the dream I used to read Tago Beat magazine,
Speaker 1: shack up in the limousine. Yeah, Moss written void bellower
Speaker 1: a void written on Twitter. Thanks for that one, because yeah,
Speaker 1: I still can't, like, I can't get that Aaron Carter

Speaker 1: there for the worst thing I've ever said part of

Speaker 1: crowd went wild. That was in Iowa, so yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean that is That was in Iowa too, so yeah,
Speaker 1: they were feeling it. That's a that is the classic.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised it didn't even hit. I mean, I was
Speaker 1: probably a little bit too old for to be noticing
Speaker 1: what Aaron Carter was up to at the time. That
Speaker 1: that song came out, but it seems like a real
Speaker 1: slam dunk of a of a premise, you know, like
Speaker 1: a parents just don't understand for the just it turns
Speaker 1: out talent is important. Having Will Smith perform perform a
Speaker 1: straightforward premise is a little bit better than Aaron Carter Anyway,

Speaker 1: an error on the city's end, that mistake. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's something we're trying to change. No, I don't
Speaker 1: think we are, and that's why you need to vote
Speaker 1: this November. Yeah, keep at the very least. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: Maybe there will be something on the belt to be like,
Speaker 1: can you just be open a little bit fucking later?
Speaker 1: Right there there is I live in West Hollywood. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of signs up for it's like elect Steve Martin,
Speaker 1: and I'm just like Steve Martin running for local. Wait,
Speaker 1: wait a second. The banjo logo was a pretty normal name.
Speaker 1: But I feel like I would have noticed that if
Speaker 1: he was really running someone named Steve Martin. Someone set. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I I like walk do do a couple of laps
Speaker 1: around the block, just to get my blood pumping every
Speaker 1: every once in a while in the morning. And today
Speaker 1: I did it like a little bit earlier and realized
Speaker 1: that everybody in in l A Is like up and
Speaker 1: out by like seven in the morning, like they're It
Speaker 1: was packed. It was jam packed at like whereas like
Speaker 1: I normally do it at nine and it's just me
Speaker 1: and like one old guy. Damn. Yeah, so so many
Speaker 1: dogs people on walking their dogs. Yeah. L A loves
Speaker 1: to go to bed or wake up in the morning
Speaker 1: bright and early with the with the dogs and uh
Speaker 1: just talk around into the cities a mess exactly. All right, Brian,
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to know you a little bit better.
Speaker 1: In a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
Speaker 1: couple of things we're talking about. We're talking about more
Speaker 1: evidence than January six was the plan all along for Trump,
Speaker 1: and that it was a cynical plan that he at
Speaker 1: no point believed that he actually won the election. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the black vote with regards to the
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania Senate, races V Fetterman and yeah, real people as
Speaker 1: props type ship going on. Ye, yeah, And we will
Speaker 1: talk about why the police are a bad idea, all
Speaker 1: of that plenty more. But first, Brian, we do like
Speaker 1: to ask our guest, what is something from your search history?
Speaker 1: Alicia Cuthberg. Cuthberg, I don't know if you remember her.
Speaker 1: She was like she was, isn't it Burt? Is it
Speaker 1: with a T? Maybe Alicia Cooper? She was on Yeah,
Speaker 1: she was on twenty four. She was in that Wheezer
Speaker 1: music video. Yeah it's it's yeah, Kuthbert. I think it
Speaker 1: was a T. I like Kuthberg, Alicia. I think Alicia
Speaker 1: Alicia cook Bert. Who, man, you're so on like some
Speaker 1: Swedish intonation in there. Yeah it's you know why I
Speaker 1: said it because one time I met her in like
Speaker 1: the odds or somebody introduced me and they said Kuthbert
Speaker 1: Uber and I was like, oh for real. And I
Speaker 1: don't know if they were mistake. I don't know if
Speaker 1: they were like mispronouncing. But then I've always been unsettled
Speaker 1: on how to say her name because the one time
Speaker 1: someone introduced like was like and this, oh, yeah, Alicia
Speaker 1: Kuthbers's over there, and say what's up? I was like
Speaker 1: kuth And I think I always pronounced it as Elijah
Speaker 1: for some reason, even though that's not the right, that's
Speaker 1: not right. But I was like, Alicia, what are you
Speaker 1: guys talking about? It's Elijah like character in the Bible.
Speaker 1: It's Elijah Cuthberg. This is why Google exists. So what
Speaker 1: are you looking at? Our our main home, Queen. We
Speaker 1: do this game at lunch called the movie game. I'm
Speaker 1: sure you've heard of it, where you like, you list
Speaker 1: an actor a movie, and then you and if somebody
Speaker 1: says a movie, you have to name an actor in
Speaker 1: that movie, and then you have to name a movie
Speaker 1: from that actor, and it keeps going on and on
Speaker 1: until you know, elimination, until somebody gets eliminated. I have
Speaker 1: never won this game. I'm bad at it, and it's
Speaker 1: punishable by death, right, punishable by death. The closest, the
Speaker 1: closest I ever got was this week. I was given
Speaker 1: Alicia Cuthberg Cuthberg, Elijah Elijah Cuthberg, Elijah Cuthberg, Elijah Cuthberg,
Speaker 1: Alicia Cusberg. And I knew who she was in a
Speaker 1: movie I had seen, but I couldn't think of the title.
Speaker 1: And then so at Old School that was what it
Speaker 1: was based on. Somebody said old School. Then I think
Speaker 1: I said Old School. The other person said, um, Elijah
Speaker 1: Elijah Kuthburg, And then I was like, what is that
Speaker 1: other movie? I couldn't remember? I lost so I immediately googled,
Speaker 1: googled her. Right, and she was in two two kinds
Speaker 1: of big movies that were pretty pivotal to my you know, adolescence,
Speaker 1: not really Girl next Door. I saw that, yeah, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: and then House of Wax, Oh yeah, And then that's
Speaker 1: kind of it for that was a wrap on cous
Speaker 1: that was on the coup. We're a wrap on couth
Speaker 1: just for as a career here in Hollywood. Yeah, she
Speaker 1: was blown off the screen by the screen acting debut
Speaker 1: of Paris Hilton, and I think from that point forward,
Speaker 1: you know, we just have them. Looking back, we've been like,
Speaker 1: Paris Hilton is a film star. I mean, who could
Speaker 1: forget Ripo Genetic Opera or whatever that was. I actually
Speaker 1: don't know what you're talking about, So apparently you don't
Speaker 1: know Repo the Genetic Opera. Repo the Genetic Opera was
Speaker 1: like this fucking horror musical that like Paul Sorvino isn't
Speaker 1: and also Paris Hilton. Yeah, I haven't. I haven't seen that.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. That was just like a meme. I felt
Speaker 1: like in pop really end the game with Repo. The
Speaker 1: next time you're playing the game. Oh yeah, if Paul
Speaker 1: Sorvino gets pulled, yo, Brian, put that one in the Yeah,
Speaker 1: put that one in your pocket for the next one.
Speaker 1: If you ever get Paul Sorvino fucking Alexa Vega from
Speaker 1: Spy Kids, Oh, Paris Hilton, you could deploy that m
Speaker 1: Paul Sorvino Father. Yeah, yeah, Nina, I think is also
Speaker 1: damn pauls Orvinos and good Fellows? Is that correct? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to I'm trying to chain it back
Speaker 1: to like some movies that might be thrown out during
Speaker 1: the thing, so we can arm breath with the ability
Speaker 1: to pull Brian your next Like, the strategy of the
Speaker 1: next one is you try and seed different answers to
Speaker 1: eventually get to Paul Sorvino so you can throw out
Speaker 1: repo the Genetic Opera and debt debt it from there. Wow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I totally missed that. What is something, Brian that you
Speaker 1: think is overrated? I touched on this a little bit.
Speaker 1: I think that overrated breakfast sandwiches in l A. And
Speaker 1: when I'm talking about l A, I feel like anywhere
Speaker 1: I go to get a breakfast sandwich or just get food,
Speaker 1: they have a breakfast sandwich on the menu, and it's
Speaker 1: always like it's good. I'll say, I'll give it that,
Speaker 1: but it's always just like an egg and like a
Speaker 1: meat and like mixed greens on like a decent bread
Speaker 1: with like from sauce. And I'm like, I this is good.
Speaker 1: But I'm also like and it comes with like a
Speaker 1: side salad, and I'm just like, why does every place
Speaker 1: have this? Right? Yeah, it's funny when I when you
Speaker 1: say that, I'm like, well, I mean I feel like
Speaker 1: New York, New York got the better breakfast sandwiches. Because
Speaker 1: they feel like they're just protein grease bombs that could
Speaker 1: set you back hours if you digested, which I like
Speaker 1: personally and like in l A. Yeah, the idea of
Speaker 1: a breakfast sandwich that comes with a side salad that
Speaker 1: I'm like, please, let's not do this. I'm not here
Speaker 1: for the side sound that I'm here for the cholesterol
Speaker 1: bomb that is betwixt two pieces of bread. Yeah. Like,
Speaker 1: if I'm getting food that early, I'm getting it for
Speaker 1: a reason, like I'm not operating at full capacity of
Speaker 1: me what my body wants, which is protein. And Greece,
Speaker 1: I think I think l A are it's our breakfast
Speaker 1: burrito game is that's that's where we excel, right, And
Speaker 1: sandwiches we can't. We're fucking, We're sucking. We're copying other places.
Speaker 1: And that's when like l A food is the worst,
Speaker 1: is when it's copying other like regional ship rather than
Speaker 1: just like, well we do well. That's why the breakfast burrito,
Speaker 1: I feel like, send you a few places that you
Speaker 1: would be like this is the size of a cinder
Speaker 1: block and I could put in the freezer and take
Speaker 1: a little slice off every day for a year and
Speaker 1: be fully filled and that's what I need that exactly.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've even had to breakfast burrito since
Speaker 1: I've been here. Oh, Brian, alright, alright, don't you want
Speaker 1: to just be in be in a coma for a
Speaker 1: whole day? Is that not what you're craving. We let's
Speaker 1: let me put my ass right back to bed here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's hard. Every bread, baste thing, every bread based like
Speaker 1: food in l A is like, oh yeah, these people
Speaker 1: came out here from Brooklyn. They they even like import
Speaker 1: the water from Brooklyn, so like that's why it's good.
Speaker 1: They they've just admitted defeat except for doughnuts, which are
Speaker 1: I guess the pastry, and l A does donuts pretty
Speaker 1: pretty well and with confidence. But all the yeah, any bagels,
Speaker 1: any pizza, any sandwich, bread, it's all like and here's
Speaker 1: why it doesn't suck. I know what you're thinking. It sucks,
Speaker 1: I guess, or they do the thing. They're like, don't worry,
Speaker 1: it's not our shitty l A bread. These are Amoroso
Speaker 1: rolls straight from Philly, you know. And you're like, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, okay, don't worry. What you're eating wasn't made here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't worry. Was something you said you think is underrated bread? Yeah? Sorry,
Speaker 1: coming heavy, hot and heavy with like the food related ship.
Speaker 1: But that's kind of just like what my life has
Speaker 1: been like recently. As I said it earlier. Underrated staying
Speaker 1: past staying open past ten pm? No, yeah, that do
Speaker 1: it on a Thursday too. What's okay? When you were
Speaker 1: when you were in New York, what was your go
Speaker 1: to past ten? Okay? So, and then like where they
Speaker 1: had like a little hot food or they could put
Speaker 1: like they had a little deli section. Yeah, they had
Speaker 1: a Delhi section. You could get like a cheese steak
Speaker 1: or something. Still, right, I think I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: of Wow, I mean like street vendors typically are out late.
Speaker 1: That's usually the food that is open late because they
Speaker 1: understand people fucking work past ten and may need something
Speaker 1: like a quick bite to eat on their way home.
Speaker 1: That's usually the most luck I would find is like
Speaker 1: you gotta find like your mobile tucket idea or like
Speaker 1: taco truck or something. They typically stay out past ten,
Speaker 1: but certain areas, Yeah, like it's a wrap like a
Speaker 1: fucking like nine thirty even and you're basically going to
Speaker 1: the sleep of your sound. They're going to sleep of
Speaker 1: the sounds of your stomach, just gargling. For dear life,
Speaker 1: your stomach is gonna sing you to sleep. I forgot
Speaker 1: about street vendors I need. I haven't really seen one
Speaker 1: in my area, which is kind of that's my fault. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean that's and that's a big issue in l A,
Speaker 1: right because street vending is like this huge thing and
Speaker 1: it's it's just it's just such a vibrant economy, but
Speaker 1: there's so many forces at work trying to make it
Speaker 1: illegal or make people jump through fucking hoops and be like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this food is so unsafe when people have,
Speaker 1: you know, like time and again you're like, man, I've
Speaker 1: gotten more sick out of fucking brick and mortar like
Speaker 1: chain restaurant than I have from like someone selling like
Speaker 1: alta or something on the fucking street. And yeah, like
Speaker 1: I think that's what's kind of it depends on like
Speaker 1: some areas just have better street like food vending culture
Speaker 1: than others. You gotta like crawl around the city and
Speaker 1: actually use your nose. You gotta be like, oh wait
Speaker 1: a second, it smells like might be a does it
Speaker 1: feel does eleven feel like a fair time to close,
Speaker 1: Like you can't like ten feels. I feel like ten
Speaker 1: is like when the nightly, like the ten o'clock local
Speaker 1: news comes on, you should have to at least eleven
Speaker 1: eleven even just like pair down the menu. I would
Speaker 1: be fine with that. Like you can't order like, you know,
Speaker 1: extensive stuff, but give me, give me the option to
Speaker 1: get like fries right right, the very least right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it really feels like my My experience with late
Speaker 1: night eating in New York is an adventure of going
Speaker 1: to just like different bodegas and you know, hazy chop
Speaker 1: cheese and like weird sandwiches, and every l a experiences
Speaker 1: Jack in the Box or some other like drive through window.
Speaker 1: And I had actually convinced myself that I thought Jack
Speaker 1: in the Box was good food until I tried it
Speaker 1: sober and I was like, okay, all right, this is
Speaker 1: actually a pretty smart business strategy. I will say that
Speaker 1: Jack in the Box does do it for me in
Speaker 1: a way I do. I do like that they you
Speaker 1: can't really pin down where what their ankle is in
Speaker 1: terms of food. You're just like the tacos, but there's fries.
Speaker 1: But there's fish. It's just like it's all over the place.
Speaker 1: I love it. But as somebody who doesn't own a car,
Speaker 1: they're there, Um, they're like what are they called little
Speaker 1: the place where you have to walk in that closes
Speaker 1: early too, yeah, so you need to go through the
Speaker 1: drive through. So then I'm like there's no winning, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And that's why the city is ultimately hostile
Speaker 1: people who do not have cars, Like, oh my fucker,
Speaker 1: you can't even eat. Jack in the Box is not
Speaker 1: you know, Jack in the box, well a cabin. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean ship, dude, ship pops off at Jack in
Speaker 1: the Boxes in l A like on Friday nights. Like
Speaker 1: every Jack in the Box in l A. I feel
Speaker 1: like has like just wild security because it is like
Speaker 1: kind of like the Late Night Spot. Everybody's kind of
Speaker 1: fucked up. Like the ship goes down with the check
Speaker 1: your bags right right, just to go through the what
Speaker 1: you need to look inside my trunk so I can
Speaker 1: go through this jacket box. They take out your laptop,
Speaker 1: my man, take out your laptop. What I just want
Speaker 1: to ultimate breakfast sandwich? Yeah, man, ang your shoes, come on, man,
Speaker 1: we don't have time. Also, just you know, the Taco
Speaker 1: Bell does now offer breakfast, and it's starting to show
Speaker 1: up in my Twitter feed quite a bit. So just
Speaker 1: in case you're looking, in case you're, you know, really
Speaker 1: at a loss for what to eat in the morning,
Speaker 1: Taco bells making a play for that's that's something that
Speaker 1: it's showing up in your feed. Yeah, no, it's a problem,
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah. That's usually how I realized I'm pressed
Speaker 1: is when Taco Bell was like, all right, it's time
Speaker 1: turned on the feet Twitter. All right, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back.
Speaker 1: And a couple of piece of evidence hitting the media
Speaker 1: that suggests what I think most of us assumed all along,
Speaker 1: which is that Trump knew he lost the election from
Speaker 1: before the election. You know that it was actually closer
Speaker 1: than the media thought, and apparently was closer than he
Speaker 1: thought it was going to be, and they had the
Speaker 1: plan to claim that the election was stolen, and you know, YadA, YadA, YadA,
Speaker 1: he gets to stay president. And within that, YadA, YadA YadA.
Speaker 1: You there has to be some January six type event, right,
Speaker 1: you don't just get to, you know, imagine your way
Speaker 1: into remaining president. So yeah, the past few days, I've
Speaker 1: just repeatedly been reminded of that Michael Chay as Lester
Speaker 1: Holt sketch where he's just like I think. I think
Speaker 1: at the time, it was actually Trump admitting he fired
Speaker 1: Comy because the Russia investigation, and I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: so I did I get him? Is this all over?
Speaker 1: And then he like gets a thing in his earpiece
Speaker 1: and he's like, no, I didn't. Nothing matters, Absolutely nothing matters,
Speaker 1: and and that yeah, So, I mean we've come a
Speaker 1: long way since thinking that him admitting that he fired
Speaker 1: James Comby because he was investigating Russia seemed like a
Speaker 1: gotcha moment, Like now it's just smoking guns raining out
Speaker 1: of the sky, and like you need to take shelter
Speaker 1: from all the smoking guns because it's just, yeah, we
Speaker 1: like it's not even a question of like whether he
Speaker 1: did something wrong. It's like, what whether he knowingly did
Speaker 1: something wrong and had like premeditated it, and we'll be
Speaker 1: able to prove it in a court of law. So
Speaker 1: he's not allowed to run for president again. And it
Speaker 1: seems like maybe it's so that January six Committee just
Speaker 1: played footage of Steve Bannon saying he's going to declare victory.
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean he's a winner. He's just gonna
Speaker 1: say he's a winner, which is a pretty accurate description
Speaker 1: of what Trump did. But that audio was from Halloween
Speaker 1: night before the election, so like four nights before the
Speaker 1: election happened, wasn't there also talked that he was trying
Speaker 1: to declare victory before the election even happened. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure like the so that there was all kinds of
Speaker 1: hair brained ideas that he was throwing out there. I
Speaker 1: think in pursuit of this, like basically, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna do. This is gonna be l city
Speaker 1: or something where one of them was like just to
Speaker 1: preemptively be like na one and they're like, that's like,
Speaker 1: so that's not how That's not how any of it works, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: there's there's also Roger Stone told up supporters on November
Speaker 1: one that the election would likely remain too close to
Speaker 1: call an election night. The key thing to do is
Speaker 1: to claim victory. Possession is nine tenths of the law.
Speaker 1: Which have you seen that clip of Stone saying that no, rogers, dude,
Speaker 1: he's a full lot, dude. I gotta find this he's
Speaker 1: fucking off his ship like so violent. He's like, fuck you,
Speaker 1: we want hold on, I gotta hold on. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: find this clip because it's really something. That's the one
Speaker 1: on November feet because that that this one is before
Speaker 1: the election happened. Yeah, there's one where he's talking to
Speaker 1: like these dudes and like outside of his car about
Speaker 1: the nine tenths of the law thing, and he like
Speaker 1: he goes on to say, like it's nine tenths, like
Speaker 1: you know, possession is nine tenths of the law. We
Speaker 1: want to fuck you try and do something about it.
Speaker 1: We'll fucking fight you kind of a thing, and they
Speaker 1: kind of just sort of clip out the whole. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna find it, like okay, here we go. Now we
Speaker 1: can hear it. So this November I suspect it of me.
Speaker 1: I really just to aspected it will still be up
Speaker 1: in the air when that happens. The key thing to
Speaker 1: do is to claim victory. Possession is nine tenths of law. No,
Speaker 1: we want to sorry, you're wrong. Like that's that was
Speaker 1: him like rallying him up, like and that's the talking
Speaker 1: to these people who are you know, basically like they're
Speaker 1: far right goons on the ground to just sort of
Speaker 1: see this idea of like just fucking run with this
Speaker 1: and don't worry about what the funk they say, like
Speaker 1: this is like and I think just saying like doesn't
Speaker 1: matter if we won or lost, because at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, we're not fucking leaving, so fuck you.
Speaker 1: There were emails flying around from advisors like October thirty one, again,
Speaker 1: we had an election day today, and I won, is
Speaker 1: his suggested remarks, even though they're like anticipating losing or
Speaker 1: being too close to call. Greg Jacob, who was Vice
Speaker 1: President Pence's counsel, learned days before election day from Pence's
Speaker 1: chief of staff Mark Short that Trump planned to prematurely
Speaker 1: announced that he had won. So it's like everybody knew this.
Speaker 1: Robert Costa tweeted Thursday he had seen text from that
Speaker 1: night from some aids indicating they realized declaring victory was
Speaker 1: Trump's plan, and that White House lawyers were alarmed, but
Speaker 1: presumably not alarmed enough to do ship. Speaking of not
Speaker 1: less enough to do ships, secret Service apparently knew about
Speaker 1: January six then that they were going to try and
Speaker 1: assassinate Mike Pence. On January six, like ahead of the
Speaker 1: event that that's another thing that is being indicated by Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you know, like in that line of like
Speaker 1: White House lawyers were alarmed, Like no they weren't, but
Speaker 1: thank you for adding that into your journalism to try
Speaker 1: and like give them some cover, like if they would
Speaker 1: have seen much more massive fall up. But either way,
Speaker 1: I mean the as the trial, as we've seen from
Speaker 1: the trial, and then even Trump's response to them, you know,
Speaker 1: being like, what I think we need to subpoena him.
Speaker 1: It's it was, it's everything has been clear from the
Speaker 1: second he was even questioning the like like voter fraud
Speaker 1: in the summer, And I don't, like, I understand they've
Speaker 1: done their work. We've done like we've we've reached night
Speaker 1: nine of Couchella at this point, we've closed it out.
Speaker 1: But I'm just like, where the funk is this going?
Speaker 1: That's it? Are you actually going to reform the laws
Speaker 1: to like protect something like this from happening again, to
Speaker 1: like have more rigid legal structures that someone can't just
Speaker 1: be like fuck you, it's nine tenths of the law.
Speaker 1: Or is it just gonna be a thing where it's
Speaker 1: like I don't know we tried, y'all, And now the
Speaker 1: Republicans have taken over the House and all they're going
Speaker 1: to do is start all kinds of committees and ship
Speaker 1: just to flood the zone with bogus like investigations to
Speaker 1: just prop Trump up. Like that seems like what the
Speaker 1: plan is now. And I don't see anything in the
Speaker 1: playbook that suggests that's not gonna work, Like I don't
Speaker 1: know what the January six Committee is going to do
Speaker 1: that would suggest that that's going to work. Like I
Speaker 1: still think there is this part of their brain that
Speaker 1: is still stuck in like you know, mainstream Democrat thinking
Speaker 1: where they were the ones who tried to help Trump
Speaker 1: win the Republican primary because I thought he was gonna
Speaker 1: be easy to be Like I still think they're like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, if Trump is the nominee, that wouldn't be
Speaker 1: all bad for us, because he's going to be like
Speaker 1: convicted of all these things, are like easily convictable in
Speaker 1: the court of public opinion. And it's like, you don't
Speaker 1: you don't understand how little of the ship people give
Speaker 1: about that who who are inclined to support him, and
Speaker 1: like it's just we're still in the position where you know,
Speaker 1: Republicans aren't going to do ship to stop this, and
Speaker 1: you know, the like the only alternative to the mainstream
Speaker 1: like we'll let the market handle it. Corporations are the
Speaker 1: ones actually making the decisions. Option that we've been running
Speaker 1: with for the past. You know, however many decades. Is
Speaker 1: fascism like that they're they're going to run that, And
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's still it's very scary. It's it's
Speaker 1: pretty dark times. I guess. I think it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I think maybe we'll see the maybe we'll see the
Speaker 1: end of this fucked up experiment in this country. But ah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's you know where we continue to just like look
Speaker 1: at these like existential threats like directly in the eye.
Speaker 1: And I'm just kind of like feeling like that Lester
Speaker 1: whole thing, like all right, so what we uh got it?
Speaker 1: And I think I think the most Republicans would do
Speaker 1: is just not be so forceful in defending him. And
Speaker 1: I think they if if they are going to, let
Speaker 1: you know, try and purge him, it's gonna be very passive,
Speaker 1: and it'll be in the hopes that he's just sucked
Speaker 1: himself over legally to the point that they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: like we're not going to come to your aid, but
Speaker 1: we're not gonna we're not gonna a raw raw the
Speaker 1: left either or just let that happen, like, you know,
Speaker 1: because luckily the Supreme Court like rejected hearing, you know,
Speaker 1: his attempt to overturn that decision in the documents case.
Speaker 1: So the special Minister, the special Minister gambit. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: also like what they say doesn't really matter because again
Speaker 1: there's no energy behind mainstream Democrats or mainstream Republicans. The
Speaker 1: energy is behind Trump. So I don't know, it's and
Speaker 1: it's also I mean it ties to this next story
Speaker 1: about Fetterman vas and like some of the like the
Speaker 1: knives coming up for John Fetterman. This is somebody who's
Speaker 1: you know, outside of the mainstream and got some actual energy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like ish, I mean, I'm not going to paint him
Speaker 1: as like some far foot half of he has half
Speaker 1: a foot outside of the main stream, Right, It's enough
Speaker 1: to have gotten energy and gotten people excited supporting him,
Speaker 1: and it just feels like they don't they don't have
Speaker 1: the appetite to protect him or like do the things
Speaker 1: they likely due to get people elected. Right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean well, right now, like obviously, you know, the polling
Speaker 1: has had John Fetterman in the lead because people are like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: clearly as a binary people are like, I like Fetterman
Speaker 1: over this Hollywood goon. But his lead has been shrinking.
Speaker 1: We've been talking about that thanks to like you know,
Speaker 1: fearmongering around crime and you know, having journalists like equivocate
Speaker 1: recovering from a stroke to like being a sociopath that
Speaker 1: may not deserve to be in office or like incapable
Speaker 1: of holding office, And a lot of observers of the
Speaker 1: of the Senate race have said, like, look, it's clear
Speaker 1: right now that oz Is tactic is shifting to try
Speaker 1: and suppress the black volte like bringing up like this,
Speaker 1: you know, when Fetterman pulled like a shotgun on a
Speaker 1: black jogger because he thought like, oh, this might be
Speaker 1: someone involved in this like other crime, and a lot
Speaker 1: of people like, look, okay Fetterman, like that's not the
Speaker 1: best look for you, homie, But he said, look, I
Speaker 1: was a mistake. Blah blah blah. It seems that the
Speaker 1: people who were supporting him had moved past it. But
Speaker 1: like a few groups have been dumping millions of dollars
Speaker 1: into like amplifying that or you know, this just the
Speaker 1: general optics around OZ being a more uh like I'm
Speaker 1: I'm down with the black community type energy. And it's
Speaker 1: it's interesting because half of it isn't necessarily that Oz
Speaker 1: is trying to court the black vote. He's also just
Speaker 1: trying to suppress the black vote because it wants to
Speaker 1: not turn out for feederment. Because in if if you
Speaker 1: look at exit polls from you know, black people made
Speaker 1: up around eleven percent of the electorate. Joe Biden got
Speaker 1: nine percent of that vote. Donald Trump got seven percent
Speaker 1: of that. So I think, you know, if you're playing
Speaker 1: the strict numbers game of your you know plus one
Speaker 1: math that all the people in the campaigns are doing,
Speaker 1: you have to find those margins to try and shave
Speaker 1: off to eke out your win. So last month in September,
Speaker 1: Oz went like all in on showing the black community
Speaker 1: he understands the plight. And he had an event in
Speaker 1: Philly where this this black woman comes up and they
Speaker 1: they were saying he was holding like a safer Street
Speaker 1: type meeting to talk about gun violence in the city
Speaker 1: and this black woman, you know, she's holding a poster
Speaker 1: of some of her family members who had to come
Speaker 1: to gun violence. And I'll just play this for you
Speaker 1: because this was like a moment where like the local
Speaker 1: news covered it as like just sort of like a
Speaker 1: like this campaign event that doctor Oz was throwing what
Speaker 1: his campaign called a Safer Streets community discussion, where Armstrong
Speaker 1: shared the story of losing both her brother who was
Speaker 1: shot on his porch, and a nephew. My nephew at
Speaker 1: the time of his murder was only fourteen years old.
Speaker 1: I'm honestly angry and fed up with the system. I'm
Speaker 1: fed up with the system that is playing playing politics
Speaker 1: with the lives of us that live in these communities.
Speaker 1: So doctor Oz in that thing, he's like looking at her.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh wow wow. Like there's a photo that
Speaker 1: like the newspaper ran where she's in tears and he's
Speaker 1: like consoling her. The AP wrote this as this is
Speaker 1: what the reporting. As Sheila Armstrong grew emotional and recounting
Speaker 1: how her brother and nephew were killed in Philadelphia, Dr
Speaker 1: Memiaz sitting next to her inside a black church. Their
Speaker 1: chairs are arranged a bit like his former daytime TV
Speaker 1: show set, placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. Later
Speaker 1: he gave her a hug and said, how do you cope?
Speaker 1: And they just ran with that. Okay. The problem with
Speaker 1: all of this is that this woman, Sheila Jackson, is
Speaker 1: a paid staffer for dr OZ, Like she's not someone
Speaker 1: from the community. She works on the campaign. She was
Speaker 1: sharing picks on her Instagram of her new ODZ campaign
Speaker 1: business cards about how she's like organizing like the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: County like organizer type thing. And if you look at
Speaker 1: the FEC filings the Federal Election Commission, she's receiving payroll
Speaker 1: payments like she's not. She's like they got receipts like
Speaker 1: you are. You are being funded by dr OZ. And
Speaker 1: this is just so funked up because I'm not sure
Speaker 1: what her motives are, but OZ definitely knows what the
Speaker 1: funk he's doing here because he is using like black
Speaker 1: bodies as props to like make himself seem like he
Speaker 1: gives a funk about the community. And we see this
Speaker 1: all the time with politicians like I still haven't forgotten
Speaker 1: Kente Cloth Fest at the Capitol Rotunda with the Democrats,
Speaker 1: like I'm still having like this is just it's just
Speaker 1: his virtue signaling without any action, and the wild shit
Speaker 1: is for all the doctor oz, Oh my god, honey,
Speaker 1: how do you cope with the gun violence? Listen to
Speaker 1: his answer when like the local reporters again are asking,
Speaker 1: They're like, hey, man, can we ask you about like
Speaker 1: what your plan is with I don't know, fucking gun control.
Speaker 1: Something not in the plan he put out today. One
Speaker 1: thing that that your plan does not talk about is guns?
Speaker 1: Gun violence. What can voters expect from you on that?
Speaker 1: Would you oppose any additional gun restrictions? He was just
Speaker 1: in this church talking with this woman talking about, oh,
Speaker 1: the plight of gun violence, right, like using that for
Speaker 1: emotional points, and then they just asked, okay, so what's
Speaker 1: your platform. We have a new gun law and I'd
Speaker 1: like to see what happens with it. I'm happy that
Speaker 1: we have a lot of money for mental health in there.
Speaker 1: Big problem for violence way beyond guns, I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you most of them. I'm sorry. What that's a big
Speaker 1: problem for violence way beyond guns. That's his fucking plan,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like this is it's just
Speaker 1: like so disingenuous on its face that you're gonna then
Speaker 1: use this woman's like legitimate loss of family to then
Speaker 1: go out there and be like, I don't know gun control.
Speaker 1: I don't know, man. I just said that just so
Speaker 1: like I could, you know, embrace like just crying gun control. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't give a funk man, Like let it rock. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like you should have, Like if he's gonna go,
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna go as far as to like
Speaker 1: have like somebody on his payroll to like tell their story.
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, you should have just like gotten a
Speaker 1: paid like an interviewer, you know, to ask you those
Speaker 1: questions after be like just like throw softballs at you, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: go full stalin. You know you're gonna right paint this
Speaker 1: like alternative reality. I mean, you know a lot of
Speaker 1: people were noticing too. Like even at that church event,
Speaker 1: there was this one state like local representative. It was
Speaker 1: like he was like that event was happening in his
Speaker 1: district as a state legislator, and he wasn't invited, so
Speaker 1: he had to like force his way in to see
Speaker 1: what was going on. I was like, oh, y'all are
Speaker 1: my community like what's going on here? And he showed
Speaker 1: there were there were more journalists there than people participating
Speaker 1: in this event. You know what I mean, Like and
Speaker 1: the media didn't cover that, like they were just showing
Speaker 1: that side of it. This guy was showing the reverse
Speaker 1: view of like the people that were like on this
Speaker 1: quote unquote panel looking back there maybe three people suceeded,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people noticed that some of the
Speaker 1: other people of color that have been involved in these events,
Speaker 1: like you've seen like campaign ads and things like that.
Speaker 1: So it's just just like, you know, this very lazy
Speaker 1: way of like astro turfing or pretending you have some
Speaker 1: kind of legitimate alignment with a given community. But it's
Speaker 1: like at this time, like a lot of people are like, hey,
Speaker 1: doctor ows and stuff with that. Haven't heard a comment
Speaker 1: back yet, but it won't matter because you know, the
Speaker 1: hypocrisy doesn't really matter to the right. But it's just
Speaker 1: a stark reminder of how like continue to use like
Speaker 1: people as props, communities as props, like like a much
Speaker 1: larger issue. It can be any given issue that we
Speaker 1: did see all this like disingenuous, like oh man, I'm
Speaker 1: with you, but where are your votes, what legislation are
Speaker 1: you backing, Like who are you taking money from? And
Speaker 1: what are their aims? When it comes to gun violence
Speaker 1: or we got and there's a lot of stuff in
Speaker 1: there about mental mental health and that, Like I asked,
Speaker 1: couldn't what's on your what's on your platform? What can
Speaker 1: people expect from your platform? Doctor? Is not existing legislation?
Speaker 1: I think I read about something with mental and mental illness. Anyways,
Speaker 1: I'm going over to Geno's to prove, prove that I
Speaker 1: have been to Philadelphia, and Pats and be a Geno's
Speaker 1: and Pats holding up today's issue of the newspaper so
Speaker 1: that you can tell that I was in fact here
Speaker 1: on the dates in question. Thank you, further questions, your honor. Hey, hey,
Speaker 1: and I just want to practice my Philadelphia accent with you. Guys.
Speaker 1: Go Eagles, all right, doctor, Yeah, full Federman's already been
Speaker 1: slamming it. He's like, this guy's a Cowboys fan. He
Speaker 1: doesn't support the Eggles, and people were like responding to
Speaker 1: it again, like it's just such a bizarre race trying
Speaker 1: to figure out, you know, at the end, what is
Speaker 1: going to actually win out with message is going to win.
Speaker 1: But you know, if you continue like this sensational shiit
Speaker 1: around people suffering for you know, campaign points right, and again,
Speaker 1: I mean nothing, nothing new but just my god, just
Speaker 1: so so fucking lazy, like people like your campaign staffers. Right,
Speaker 1: I remember when they used to just get people off
Speaker 1: the street and give them money. What happened to that
Speaker 1: day of wrangling fake support for our campaign? The good
Speaker 1: old days, good old days when you just have voting
Speaker 1: parties and get everybody drunk and then to make them
Speaker 1: vote for you. All right, let's take a quick break,
Speaker 1: we'll come back, we'll talk about the police, and we're back.
Speaker 1: And this is kind of constantly happening, like the police
Speaker 1: will funk up spectacularly, and then it kind of slides
Speaker 1: out of the media because I think they have a
Speaker 1: very powerful union and are nicely situated as the only
Speaker 1: source that the mainstream media uses on crime, and and
Speaker 1: the mainstream media loves to write about crime. But there
Speaker 1: are two stories from I think it was September, but
Speaker 1: I didn't want to let them slide because they're just
Speaker 1: such strong examples of how blatant the case against police
Speaker 1: should be for anyone paying attention and not brainwashed by
Speaker 1: the car sorrel system. And like Law and Order and
Speaker 1: eighties action movies where the hero is always a cop.
Speaker 1: But you know what, we have We've had Alec Karack
Speaker 1: Santas on before and he's one of the points that
Speaker 1: he makes a lot is that all the arguments around
Speaker 1: violent crime statistics being affected by policing, first of all,
Speaker 1: they're not there's they're not convincing, they don't suggest the policing.
Speaker 1: And also they ignore the violent crimes in just general
Speaker 1: like second degree funk up re ending in citizens death
Speaker 1: that is caused by the police. And we have very
Speaker 1: little way to track all the people who die from
Speaker 1: police and competence because they were walking or driving on
Speaker 1: the wrong street during a police chase, for instance. And uh,
Speaker 1: it's the rare accidental police killing that the police can't
Speaker 1: use their power of control and monopoly on violence to
Speaker 1: cover up, you know, it literally like has to be
Speaker 1: on body camera that then like people become aware of somehow.
Speaker 1: So there there are two examples that we're hard to
Speaker 1: ignore for the sheer levels of just like buffoonery and
Speaker 1: because the police took a situation that may not have
Speaker 1: been deadly probably wouldn't have been in one case, and
Speaker 1: made it so because yeah, just because it's kind of
Speaker 1: standard operating procedure. So let's start with the one in Colorado,
Speaker 1: the police pulled over your any Rios Gonzales and locked
Speaker 1: her in their police cruiser while they searched her car. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: when they heard a train horn sound in the distance,
Speaker 1: it didn't jog their memory that they had parked their
Speaker 1: police car on the fucking train tracks, and they didn't
Speaker 1: notice until the train hit their car with Rios Gonzalez
Speaker 1: in it. And as always, the details of the police
Speaker 1: behavior in this moment are not so much heroic as
Speaker 1: you don't pay me enough to give a shit about
Speaker 1: these people vibes. So the officers appeared to take note
Speaker 1: of the This is a direct quote from the like
Speaker 1: local news article on this officers appeared to take note
Speaker 1: of the train only as it came within feet of
Speaker 1: of a police vehicle parked on the tracks with Rios
Speaker 1: Gonzalez handcuffed inside. According to authorities and body camera footage,
Speaker 1: a mail officer standing near the tracks looked at the
Speaker 1: approaching train, grew frantic, the footage shows, and then started screaming,
Speaker 1: stay back, you know. Dashboard camera video shows him walking
Speaker 1: quickly away from the vehicle just before the train plowed
Speaker 1: into it. So Rio's Gonzalez miraculously survived but again it
Speaker 1: highlights that we have the least responsible human beings doing
Speaker 1: the job that should seemingly require the most training and
Speaker 1: responsibility in a society, or failing that, maybe it shouldn't exist.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe I mean it's the fun Like this is
Speaker 1: like really, just how fucking bad is that? Where you
Speaker 1: don't you're not even aware of the train tracks, Like,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if that's you're either so
Speaker 1: negligent because you were trying to kill this woman with
Speaker 1: the train and then trying to be like, oh, I
Speaker 1: didn't notice, you know what I mean, it's just saying
Speaker 1: like it, let's see what happens, or you want you
Speaker 1: are so out of sorts and unaware that that's that
Speaker 1: you allow that to happen. It's like hard to fucking
Speaker 1: figure out which one they could have been because I
Speaker 1: could also see, I mean, you see really vile ship
Speaker 1: happened if people in police custody to like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's just really hard to wrap my head around. It's
Speaker 1: like you can't even sucking you don't even notice train tracks.
Speaker 1: Like my first thought was, oh, maybe they maybe they
Speaker 1: did that on purpose, Like who knows. I feel like
Speaker 1: they I wouldn't be surprised if they were just like
Speaker 1: that happened. They parked. They've literally parked the tracks, just
Speaker 1: like out of straight up incompetency. I think that like
Speaker 1: the standards for like becoming a police officer are getting
Speaker 1: so like lower and lower that it's just like there,
Speaker 1: you know, they'll truly take anybody. And yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: feel like I heard on the radio like L A
Speaker 1: p D. Is like they're like doing at like an
Speaker 1: AD to be like we we need Maybe it was
Speaker 1: an AD, maybe it was a new story, but it's
Speaker 1: like they need police officers because like no, I don't know,
Speaker 1: they're just like running low or whatever. But I'm like
Speaker 1: I'm like there, that just means people are applying and
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's like the worst of the worst,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, well I think yeah to your point
Speaker 1: though too about like there, I think the third option,
Speaker 1: whether it's I'm so stupid and oblivious I don't know,
Speaker 1: or I'm criminally negligent, is like it's just like this
Speaker 1: cop privilege that these people have, like they probably like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can park on the fucking train tracks, my fucking
Speaker 1: cram in a cop car. The funks a train gonna
Speaker 1: do hit it, you know, like in their mind, because
Speaker 1: all the time I always see like cops parked in
Speaker 1: the most fucked up ways on the street in l A,
Speaker 1: like where they're not even doing ship Like they're like,
Speaker 1: y'are almost sucking thurn my lights on to get through
Speaker 1: a fucking signal, then them up sucking like double park
Speaker 1: to go into Baja Fresh and you're like, many follow
Speaker 1: the laws for all this other ship that I could
Speaker 1: also see a version where like just the Eric shere
Speaker 1: arrogance too of like yeah, whatever, I'll park wherever the
Speaker 1: funk I want. Oh it was a train track whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we were in the story we did on
Speaker 1: the history of jaywalking, what like the people who were
Speaker 1: studying this, you know, found not only that they were
Speaker 1: using the crime of jaywalking as a way to you know,
Speaker 1: racial profile and just like they only enforced it with
Speaker 1: black and brown people, but also that like the police
Speaker 1: were constantly, like they they caught the police on camera
Speaker 1: just constantly jaywalking, so it was like they were not whole,
Speaker 1: they were not holding themselves to any standard whatsoever. But
Speaker 1: I also just want to just to close the loop
Speaker 1: on that story. Rio's Gonzalez's vehicle was being searched in
Speaker 1: the first place after a report of a road rage
Speaker 1: incident involving a gun. They presumably had the wrong car
Speaker 1: because no gun was found, but it wasn't for lack
Speaker 1: of trying, because the body cam footage from the night
Speaker 1: shows them searching her truck both before and after the
Speaker 1: train hit her. They were like frantically being like it, say,
Speaker 1: it must be here somewhere. It's got to be here
Speaker 1: somewhere because they wanted that. That was their concern, was
Speaker 1: covering their ass for getting her hip, because it's okay
Speaker 1: if a train hit a lady, if she had a
Speaker 1: gun in her car, right, yeah, Like it was the
Speaker 1: logic there. It's like, well, fuck, we have to like,
Speaker 1: you know, typically we can get away with brutalizing people
Speaker 1: if we can say some crime was gonna be like
Speaker 1: she had weed, yeah, so you know train hit her. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know she had weed, so that's bad, right, folks, Okay,
Speaker 1: please move along. And then there was a case in
Speaker 1: California around the same time in September where everybody in
Speaker 1: California got an Amber alert where a man had shot
Speaker 1: and killed his wife and kidnapped his teenage daughter, Savannah Graziano,
Speaker 1: and after issuing an amber alert for Savannah, the police
Speaker 1: caught the father with the kidnapped child into in the
Speaker 1: desert heading towards Vegas and just got into a massive
Speaker 1: shootout with him, and despite the fact that the daughter
Speaker 1: was in the car, you know, we're exchanging gunfire. At
Speaker 1: one point she appears to have made a break for
Speaker 1: it and run towards the police, at which point she
Speaker 1: was gunned down by the police, and I suspect I
Speaker 1: can only say I suspect it was the police because
Speaker 1: the details have been very slow and sparse since it happened.
Speaker 1: But at first they said she was in tactical gear
Speaker 1: gear and they have been armed. So the fourteen year
Speaker 1: old girl who was a hostage may have been armed
Speaker 1: and a threat to officers behind a bank of police
Speaker 1: cars and a shootout, and they eventually had to turn
Speaker 1: the incident over to the Justice Department as potentially qualifying
Speaker 1: under a law that requires the Justice Department to investigate
Speaker 1: cases in which the death to the to the unarmed
Speaker 1: civilian is caused by California peace officer. So like that's
Speaker 1: the that is the level that we're dealing with just
Speaker 1: how they're called peace officers. When they find somebody who
Speaker 1: is a kidnapping victim, they just start shooting. They just
Speaker 1: start shooting with a you know, a child in in
Speaker 1: the car and then kill the child when the child
Speaker 1: makes a run for like a break for it. Well,
Speaker 1: I think at the very least, right that, like in
Speaker 1: that example, it just shows that we're the police in
Speaker 1: that form just cranking out a group of people who
Speaker 1: are so trigger happy and have just been trained to
Speaker 1: look at every single person as a threat that there's
Speaker 1: no helping, it's just harm. It's like you're getting near
Speaker 1: a cop and like, what the funk you want? What
Speaker 1: the funk you want? They started like reaching for their
Speaker 1: ship and you're like what directions? Right? Right? You know
Speaker 1: what I mean? And like for all like we constantly here,
Speaker 1: I don't know why it's taking I mean, I know
Speaker 1: we know why. It's so hard to shift the conversation,
Speaker 1: but it's it just seems so logical, right, Like that
Speaker 1: one fact about the amount of money that's spent on
Speaker 1: law enforcement, Yeah, we have these crime rates that the
Speaker 1: the way they are shows that paying funding the police
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with our safety. In fact, it's
Speaker 1: cause the cause of a lot more violent interactions when again,
Speaker 1: all that money is better served being like in social services.
Speaker 1: And there is a new there was a pull that
Speaker 1: came out that I haven't seen really talked about a lot,
Speaker 1: where like they're like something like sixty percent of Republicans
Speaker 1: seventy of like independence and like way more version of
Speaker 1: like uh like liberals, we're saying that police funds should
Speaker 1: actually be diverted towards social services, right, Like a majority
Speaker 1: of Republicans are even saying that what what did they
Speaker 1: think defund the policeman? Like because they treated that like
Speaker 1: it was the worst thing that anyone has ever said.
Speaker 1: But yeah, well, I mean, yeah, we need to start
Speaker 1: making movies that action movies about social service workers kind
Speaker 1: of like Jack's like social service workers that like you know,
Speaker 1: glorified work. Yeah yeah, right, like we we there's like
Speaker 1: a hostage situation, but what you do, well, I don't know,
Speaker 1: if there's a hot you would almost need to be
Speaker 1: like he's saving some person's like life and be like
Speaker 1: hey man, here's you know, here's some here's like a
Speaker 1: place for you to get back on your feet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, here's like a job here's an address you
Speaker 1: can apply so you can get so when you apply
Speaker 1: to a job, you actually have an address and a
Speaker 1: phone number you can put on your application, because that's
Speaker 1: a big hurdle for a lot of unhoused people. And
Speaker 1: then they're like, look what I did, And I said
Speaker 1: this person up for for success and treated them like
Speaker 1: a human and everyone's like, oh ship, and we I
Speaker 1: don't know how we make that sexy, but we had
Speaker 1: the perfect opportunity to make the point that social services
Speaker 1: are the thing that keeps crying down when you know,
Speaker 1: in the like during the pandemic lockdown, you know, cris
Speaker 1: certain crimes did go up, and the actual data suggests
Speaker 1: that they went up because not not because anybody was
Speaker 1: defunded because the police, no police anywhere, we're defunded in
Speaker 1: a way that was significant or impactful. Uh. The thing
Speaker 1: that happened was that social services and programs that used
Speaker 1: to help people stopped because it was a fucking endemic.
Speaker 1: And so like you have this very clear evidence, and
Speaker 1: the media, the the only version that I heard of
Speaker 1: that story was crime one up because they defunded the police,
Speaker 1: and like that protesting the police or suggesting that we
Speaker 1: needed to defund the police was the cause of crime
Speaker 1: going up, and it's like demonstrably not true with statistics,
Speaker 1: and it's like it is the subject that we were
Speaker 1: protesting over and they turned it into basically the like
Speaker 1: a big story about how protesters were the cause of
Speaker 1: murder rates going up. I feel like the easiest way
Speaker 1: to just like, why don't journalists be like a local
Speaker 1: police department lower the crime rate challenge? Right, let's see
Speaker 1: if you can lower that like significantly, right, because y'all
Speaker 1: are out there policing. Yeah, and we're and you're we're
Speaker 1: giving you constant unending trenches, tranches of cashever. You want
Speaker 1: to say that just piles of money, But where are
Speaker 1: the results? And I think that's what's wild, is like
Speaker 1: we're for all the money that's going into it. It's
Speaker 1: like one of the few things are like we're not
Speaker 1: looking at the results and actually like analyzing them, Like
Speaker 1: what the is going on? Because again it's like its
Speaker 1: own industrial complex. But like if you would just give
Speaker 1: them tactical nuclear weapons that like they have been asking
Speaker 1: miles Like that's the thing. It's just we they've been
Speaker 1: asking forever just small nuclear arms, not like just so
Speaker 1: that they can do targeted nuclear strikes and then you
Speaker 1: would start to see a difference. I feel like that's
Speaker 1: what's next, Like bombing like that, Like bombing that neighborhood
Speaker 1: in Philly like in the eighties was right enough, They're like,
Speaker 1: I think we go bigger than that, and yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean it's well, eventually, like you see
Speaker 1: more and more people again. This is why, at the
Speaker 1: very least, like you have to be heartened by the
Speaker 1: kinds of people that are getting into local politics, because
Speaker 1: that's the area too. Just when I look around me,
Speaker 1: like my life is affected by the l A. Sheriff's Department,
Speaker 1: in the Los Angeles Police Department. So I'm curious to
Speaker 1: hear from the p that are the elected city officials
Speaker 1: how they see fixing issues like the unhoused community and
Speaker 1: any kind of crime. But but they're always like the
Speaker 1: real the people of good character, uh and are actually
Speaker 1: analytical about these issues. They're all saying the same thing
Speaker 1: is that we just have to support our neighbors. Right,
Speaker 1: that's it. That's it. It's that easy, doesn't We don't
Speaker 1: need fucking you know, more humbies and ship we don't
Speaker 1: need more fucking you know a r S and in
Speaker 1: the hands of police. We just need to support people
Speaker 1: and help them. We need to give people a base
Speaker 1: of foundation of stability to operate from. That's it. That's it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did see. I was like walking to the post
Speaker 1: office and for some reason, like an unhoused guy was
Speaker 1: getting arrested, and there were straight up like nine like
Speaker 1: cop cars that like rolled up on this corner. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is this is like past like absurdity
Speaker 1: at this point. It's just like nine cop cars that's
Speaker 1: like just for what one person. It's like it's so
Speaker 1: obvious that if you just like funneled that the money
Speaker 1: that it took to like pay those people to like
Speaker 1: you know just like do social service work or something,
Speaker 1: you know, that like this problem would be so much better.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, you know, help help that guy in a way.
Speaker 1: And we've seen where they have a program where calls
Speaker 1: for somebody who is in distress or is having a
Speaker 1: mental health crisis, those calls don't get rooted to the police.
Speaker 1: They get routed to like people with training in situations
Speaker 1: like that and with access to the social service programs.
Speaker 1: And it works, but unfortunately it also doesn't fund the
Speaker 1: a military industrial complex worth of money at a local level,
Speaker 1: which I think is what we're dealing with in a
Speaker 1: lot of cases here. Yeah, pressures on Steve Martin, right,
Speaker 1: I blame Steve Martino. Well, Brian as always such a
Speaker 1: pleasure having you on the daily zeitgeist? Where can people
Speaker 1: find you? Follow you all that good stuff? You can
