1:34

I'm doing a terrible job already. Please

1:37

welcome into the building. Not

1:39

even a little Zamboni, just behemoth

1:41

Zamboni. At this point, I'm forced to be reckoned

1:43

with with its own gravitational pull.

1:46

Welcome Yahmie Loftus

1:48

Jamie loftuz Bernan.

On the day I was born, Darren

2:14

That was Hamburger phone. Oh

2:19

my god, I

2:21

just like left my body for my head.

2:24

Um, all the blood went to my face

2:28

Twitter hand before Yeah, I know,

2:30

I was like, wow, that was a deep Was that because you uh

2:33

you you violated the Olympics pristine

2:36

copyright? Was that? Was that what precipitated

2:38

the abandoning of at Hamburger phone. Yeah,

2:41

I got deep platformed by the International

2:43

Olympics Committee. So weird,

2:46

so weird. Yet Rudy's still out here

2:48

dropping receipts of his connections to

2:51

god knows what at this point. But yeah, don't

2:53

funk with the people organizations

2:56

on this planet currently, So that

2:59

for them, well, thank you for stopping

3:01

by. You know, Jack had important

3:03

things to do, so I

3:05

was I was gonna say, if he asked

3:08

me to sub for him while he got the vaccine, I

3:10

would um flip

3:12

a table. Yeah, but I'd

3:15

start flipping tables because you know,

3:17

well I caught him at the makeup store because

3:20

he was looking for prosthetics to look like an elderly

3:22

man to jump the line. So we'll

3:24

see what happens allegedly. I don't want

3:26

to cast his version, but I

3:29

saw that ship with my eyes. Anyway, we

3:31

have to, you know, we have to introduce our guests

3:33

right now. You know, somebody who's been on the show once

3:36

twice? Is this thrice now? Yeah?

3:39

This is thrice times. Nice?

3:42

Please a welcome back from

3:45

from Portland, Oregon. I mean, one of

3:47

the one of the just focal points of political

3:49

discourse at the moment depending on what party

3:51

you're in. Tory Williams Douglas.

3:55

Hi, I'm so excited to be here in

3:57

my birthday. Yeah,

4:00

what's that like with everybody? I feel

4:02

like that's been the punching bag for everyone

4:05

deflecting about the insurrection, like oh, but I

4:07

but okay, but you

4:11

guys, we let a dumpster on fire

4:14

outside of the police station downtown.

4:16

I don't know if you know, that's the same as like domestic

4:18

terrorism.

4:20

And I remember a lot of the people who stormed the capitol

4:23

were being disappeared in vans too that I

4:25

felt like it was another thing that was disappeared

4:27

onto flights that they had booked previously,

4:30

because that's how you do a coup. As you show

4:32

up, you're like, I'm gonna be here for three nights, okay,

4:34

Hyatt, And then then I got back home. But let's

4:37

not, let's be real, I'm not I can't really eat up in all

4:39

my vacation times. The revolution. The

4:41

revolution has gotta be on my schedule. That's

4:43

it's so weird too. It's like, you know, at the same time,

4:46

we're all still burdened by laboring

4:48

for money. So like, even as much as you

4:50

want to turn up and kick off the revolution.

4:53

You can't cross your boss. You

4:56

can't book that up is

4:58

your health care if you had Christ

5:01

but maybe we could, maybe we can fight for that

5:04

too. But anyway, that's a

5:06

whole other round of realizations

5:09

we're gonna have in the country. But let's

5:11

talk a little bit about we're gonna get into before we kick

5:13

off our talking here. First, we're

5:15

gonna talk about some cool math from

5:18

President elect Joe Biden about two dollar

5:20

checks. We'll see how that will check in on that

5:23

story what has become of the two thousand

5:25

dollar checks. We'll also talk about

5:29

Senator James Langford from Oklahoma

5:31

pulling a moment where I don't It's

5:34

just one of the most disingenuous moments of someone

5:36

knowing what the funk they were doing

5:38

and then acting like, oh my, oh God,

5:41

was that voting

5:43

to throw out the results of the election

5:46

was gonna disinfrench I did well,

5:48

I didn't mean that people

5:50

of color from the state of Oklahoma. So we'll

5:52

get into that. We'll talk a little

5:54

bit, just one last time, just talk about the wall,

5:56

because the president is about to be out. We don't have talk about

5:58

the wall ever again. But there's a couple things I just wanted

6:01

to bring up about the wall before

6:03

we before he exits the building, and

6:05

then we'll also talk about UM.

6:07

Just there's some developments from that

6:10

that like story that happened over the break about

6:12

that. Remember there was a flight where someone

6:15

had needed CPR midflight due to

6:17

COVID. Okay, well there's been like

6:19

then, there there's a few levels of

6:21

developments that I hadn't realized, and we'll talk

6:23

about that or maybe it'll be old news to you and you can

6:25

just laugh your way through it. But before

6:28

we get to any of that, we

6:30

gotta ascar, guest Tory, what is

6:32

something from your search

6:34

history that is revealing you

6:36

know about who you are or who you've become, or who you are

6:39

becoming, or what pill you're taking.

6:42

Yeah, I got red pilled you guys, So

6:46

yeah, my search history. Honestly, I've been reading

6:48

everything that I can about Ted Cruz

6:50

and whether or not he can be charged with sedition and

6:52

throwing out of the Senate because he

6:54

was kind of like my target for UM.

6:58

I wanted to make it so that he couldn't run. And next,

7:02

I think is when he's up for re election, something

7:04

like that, um, and so I've

7:06

been like trying to figure out, you know, what his

7:09

weaknesses are, like who

7:11

has a dirt on him? And so,

7:13

but then he did this thing where

7:15

you know, he basically committed

7:17

treason. So I'm just trying to see,

7:19

like what my options are. Yeah, right

7:22

for your doing some cool OPO right now?

7:25

Oh hell yeah, that's our you

7:27

know. Back in the day when I used to

7:29

do dirt digging for money.

7:31

Uh, I used to have all these like sock puppet Facebook

7:34

accounts and shipped to try and be friends with their kids

7:36

and figure out what they're Yeah,

7:41

yeah, they're like, yeah, that's totally bro. And

7:43

then you see like party photos and you're like and

7:46

then there's really nothing. But it's

7:48

a waste of time. But

7:50

yeah, I totally get that. I mean you think,

7:52

like, you know, Holly and Cruise, as

7:55

much as they thought they were making

7:57

a good move, it's you know,

7:59

it's was like the tide is turning. But at the end

8:01

of the day, it's so hard to know because

8:04

there's such little appetite to hold

8:06

people accountable when you get to that

8:08

level. I don't know why. It's

8:10

like they're all friends and they don't give a funk about

8:13

the people they're representing. Do

8:15

you remember this is this is really

8:17

old Ted Cruise gossip and it's not

8:19

even good. But you remember when everyone was

8:22

like Ted Cruise drinks lukewarm soup

8:24

for lunch every day. There

8:27

was like someone on Ted this is like

8:30

four five years ago now,

8:32

like back when he was running for president, where

8:34

they're like Ted Cruise, what does he eat

8:37

on the campaign trail? Lukewarm

8:39

soup every fucking day? Serial

8:43

killer? That's yeah, that's

8:45

absolute. Yeah.

8:47

I feel like you could take remember the old Drake,

8:49

the type sort of memes that they used to

8:51

do back like eight years ago on the internet. He'd

8:54

like drink the type of dude who opened the door

8:56

for himself and be like why thank you, or

8:58

like drink the type of dude who'll be you at

9:00

the urinal with his pasts all the way down. Um,

9:02

I feel like you could just do Ted Cruise now

9:05

and they all hold as well, they're probably

9:07

all factually true. Yeah

9:09

yeah, anyway, Um

9:11

so wait, so are you gonna run? Is that what you're

9:13

saying? You're gonna run for Senate? And I

9:17

just want to make sure I don't want to one of those people.

9:20

I don't want to sell it out from

9:23

Portland. But you go

9:25

in and you just you just do like the thing. I'm like, yeah,

9:27

maybe i'll give voted out, but I will be Buck Wilde

9:30

while I'm in here. You know, it's

9:32

when you it's when it's when you pursue re election,

9:34

when things get done exactly.

9:38

Yeah, yeah we should. I mean we definitely need to primary

9:40

cruise, like, let's do that. But

9:43

yeah, I'm just afraid that I would be too tempted

9:45

by power to keep

9:48

my personal morality and ethics

9:50

someplace. Wow. Okay, that's good. So

9:53

you know it would it would corrupt you, you feel

9:55

well, I don't want I don't want to give it the

9:57

opportunity to do so, because that would write

10:00

then the entire purpose of like work.

10:03

Yeah, absolutely, I'll

10:06

see you know, I'm I'm I'm open to it.

10:08

Maybe it'll corrupt me, who knows, you

10:10

know, I don't know. We'll see what happens. I'm down

10:13

to try it. Please do

10:16

yeah, and I'll be like, what are you doing?

10:20

Nice just

10:22

because they're like okay to massive

10:25

real estate development over who could have been

10:27

affordable housing, just because they gave you a massive

10:29

donation, it might re election keeping. What's wrong with

10:31

you guys? Literally every time I protest

10:34

outside of city Counselor's house, they're like, stop,

10:37

not even funny. People

10:40

trying to sleep, And it's like, yeah, people are

10:42

trying to live in like with you

10:44

know, a roof over their head. So

10:47

and you decided to just take the

10:50

lee for That's what I'm saying, Like it

10:52

should be fashionable, fashionable just to go in there

10:54

do the right thing. But I don't give a fun I

10:56

think I'm here to get reelected, bro, I'm here to do

10:58

the fucking work. I have thought

11:00

about I have thought about primary one of the old white

11:02

guys who's like in the US, like Oregon

11:05

us in it because they're all Democrats

11:07

except for one, Like I can join

11:09

the squad. But then I'm just like again, when I

11:11

lose, like my morality, would I be like, oh,

11:13

we gotta you know, we gotta make these trade offs. And

11:16

then it's like, you know, it's

11:18

a slippery slope. And it likes

11:21

to say I always hear is like my

11:23

buddy who works in government, He's

11:25

like, we just need more people of like good

11:27

conscience to work in the bureaucracy too.

11:30

He's like, there's so many things that get fucked

11:32

up because we focus on elected officials,

11:35

but when it comes down to the people who are like

11:37

allocating the money and figuring out how

11:39

to do that, it's a whole other layer

11:42

of lack of imagination, lack

11:44

of like purpose. And

11:47

you know, he's always like, I'm just saying, man, I wish

11:49

you'd say that more like elected office

11:51

is good, but like we also need people

11:53

who understand what needs to happen to

11:56

also work like in for the

11:58

municipality as well. As much as it might

12:00

see anathematos some people, it's like

12:02

there's a whole other layer of gridlock

12:05

there too, because you've got lifers

12:07

in there who are like, oh no, I've been here for

12:09

forty years, not giving a funk you think I'm

12:11

going to start, Like,

12:13

imagine your job, right, any everybody

12:15

who goes a job, you look at like the older,

12:18

higher up senior people to you when you enter, Like, man,

12:20

these motherfucker's don't get it, you know what I mean? Every

12:22

job is like that. You're like, wait till they're out

12:25

and I'll get this motherfucker running right.

12:27

Um, Now, imagine that for not changing

12:30

for decades when it comes

12:32

to the bureaucracy and you're like, yeah,

12:35

yeah, local government, man, it's

12:37

important sometimes,

12:40

Tory, what is something thinks underrated? Underrated?

12:43

Public health education? Public

12:45

health education is what I'm ranting about

12:48

right now. Imagine

12:52

if people knew, like how

12:54

vaccines worked. Imagine just

12:56

imagine this world with me, where we taught kids

12:59

in high school how vaccines

13:01

works, just the general stuff, the

13:04

general stuff if we taught if

13:06

we taught kids like, hey, so we

13:08

live in a community and that means

13:11

that, like your health affects the people

13:13

that are around you. I mean, we live in a society

13:15

and we

13:23

truly, yeah, we we have a man

13:26

We're like, yeah, we're very I find myself

13:28

like you realize how these are literacy points? Are

13:30

these blind spots you have? Like we're financial

13:32

illiteracy. I think it's just wildly pervasive

13:35

for like our generation

13:38

in general, most people overall, but like

13:40

specifically, I feel like I'm constantly

13:42

talking to my friends being like, what do I

13:45

what's the thing for retiring? And my

13:48

pro we're mid thirty's, it's it's too late,

13:51

it's too late. Well, we've we've

13:54

been going, we've been living too long not

13:56

knowing what to do. But yeah, I

13:58

feel like with the public health stuff, it's

14:00

also quite apparent with vaccine

14:03

talk. Yeah, I mean, well,

14:05

what what sort of public health um

14:07

education did you get? I feel like the closest

14:10

I ever really got was like sexually

14:12

transmitted stuff. But

14:14

outside of that, like we didn't get much

14:17

in terms of like community health was a

14:20

totally mysterious concept

14:22

to me, Like we just learned basically

14:25

nothing. They were just like, here hold a basketball

14:27

and say you have your periods so you don't have to

14:29

actually play. Like that

14:32

was my entire health education. Oh

14:36

my god. Well, I mean yeah, Like also, I

14:38

mean anatomy is also kind of important to

14:41

teach the kids. Yes, turns out, but you

14:43

know, we have YouTube now, so nobody

14:45

has to teach anymore. I was just saying

14:47

the other day, how like love Line basically

14:50

taught me most of the ship I knew about my own

14:52

body, like in the late nineties, and ship it

14:55

took being in my bed like

14:57

with the earphones onto my radio

14:59

because you know they're talking that wild sex

15:01

shit. Okay, rock um

15:04

was how I would hear like just very

15:07

direct conversation about genitalia

15:10

any kind of STD any kind

15:12

of like reproductive health question. Whereas

15:15

before, because I went to you know, Lutheran

15:18

school, you basically learned how to like it's

15:20

like all right, little girls go on this

15:22

room, boys go with the creepy football coach,

15:25

and you will take classes on how to just

15:27

take care of your genitals or something.

15:29

And that was like the extent of it. It didn't feel very

15:32

complete, right, Yeah, yep.

15:34

I also think because there's so many like anti

15:37

um sex aid crusaders,

15:39

if we put it under the umbrella of public

15:42

health, maybe we could sneak

15:44

some more effective sex ad in there.

15:47

Yeah, or then they this is why we need to defund

15:49

public health because they're teaching

15:51

our kids how to be responsible with

15:56

Yeah, defund

15:58

public health. Yeah, do it. Um.

16:02

And lastly, Tori,

16:04

what is something you think it's

16:06

overrated? Well, I mean

16:08

clearly, unity is way overrated.

16:12

We all got to come together, you guys, you

16:15

guys, what did we do for these last

16:17

five years that you you think that, like we should

16:19

just come together? Now? What have we been doing?

16:22

Like border balls? What you're talking about? No, like

16:24

stop trying to sow division? Literally,

16:27

please, what are you doing? I don't

16:29

know what blaze

16:31

of gas lighting just like a last

16:34

truly yes,

16:37

that's why they like on Wednesday before

16:39

the insurrection kicked off and this

16:42

in the Senate they wanted to talk about like

16:44

you know, when Mitch McConnell gave

16:46

his grand like it's over, I

16:49

was like, I was just doing them like gas light

16:51

feste has kicked

16:53

off in fucking earnest because

16:56

it was it was so infuriating

16:59

to have all of these people who have

17:01

been raw raying this ship since

17:03

fucking and

17:06

some earlier to now act

17:08

like they're like and I just you know, where

17:10

have we come? And it's really time

17:12

we moved past this disgusting

17:15

president liked

17:18

mcconnall have literally like Aaron Sorkin

17:20

do punch up on his shitty fucking speech.

17:23

I was just like, God, damn that whole that

17:25

whole Senate the beginning

17:28

of that Senate meeting, like Aaron Sorkin is

17:30

at home just stroking his pp

17:32

on this one like this

17:34

is it's such bullshit? Uh

17:38

what do we do? How do you you know? Who do you want to unify

17:41

with? Who do we unite? The

17:44

people who are actively like have an articulated

17:47

like plan of just you know,

17:49

presenting themselves as an existential threat

17:52

to the other. Is that what we're supposed

17:54

to begin? Like, yeah, come on in, come

17:56

on in. It's

17:59

like you've only told us for decades that you

18:01

want to destroy us, so

18:03

um, yeah, please join our party. Actually

18:06

we're just we're just conservatives in disguise,

18:08

you guys. It's fine, and it's like, but hold on, but

18:11

I don't know this. This can't be. I'm

18:13

pretty sure you're not here for you actually

18:15

stand for nothing except for minority

18:17

rule of this class of people,

18:20

this group of white America. That's

18:22

really because I don't see anything tangible,

18:24

like a platform that says that

18:27

would speak to someone who isn't conservative

18:30

and be like, oh, well hold on, look what they're

18:32

doing here with with you know, a

18:34

debt relief or you know, rent

18:36

relief for people during the pandemic. Oh, this

18:39

is an interesting way to to to cover

18:41

um, like increasing wages for

18:44

educators. Oh that's interesting. No, that's none

18:46

of that. It's like, so what do

18:48

you know, It's like this is bullshit, bullshit,

18:50

No, sorry, no, it's it's

18:53

it's true, so true. But you

18:55

know whatever, helping people with their rent is communism

18:57

and I don't know if you have a communism has

19:00

a death toll, and I'm told

19:02

by the right the capitalism does not have a

19:04

death toll. So fun facts.

19:07

Boy, Yeah,

19:09

this is what I'm told. I'm just you know, it

19:12

might be, it might be, it might not be real. But you

19:14

know, I just didn't though I was.

19:16

I end a feeling like not

19:18

having access to capital has never caused someone

19:20

to die. Please tell me more.

19:23

I'm not that I can tell that doesn't make sense, That

19:25

doesn't make any sense. But like a for profit

19:28

healthcare system, people making

19:30

seven dollars an hour, right,

19:33

Like we'll see, like we're saying, you know, I was

19:35

saying, even flippantly at the top of the show, like we'll

19:37

see how many of these painful realizations

19:40

still have to be made, you know. Like again, it

19:42

was like it took people to watch a

19:44

slow motion murder on camera to

19:47

be like, oh wow, racism in policing

19:49

and just generally in the country, huh

19:52

huh. Then it took people

19:54

storming a capital for then the elites

19:56

to be like, huh is

19:59

this uh? I thought the extremism

20:01

stuff was just like like jokey

20:04

stuff, Okay, maybe

20:07

something, Yeah, it really it's unfortunate

20:09

that it takes so much just chaos

20:12

and pain and violence, you know,

20:14

before there's even like a sensation

20:18

that attention has to be drawn in that direction.

20:20

So has

20:23

like a harsher reaction than the Senate.

20:27

That means, well,

20:31

uh, let's let's move on and take a break

20:33

and we'll come back and we'll talk about, you know,

20:35

just what's just the state of things.

20:37

See what the COVID relief package is gonna

20:39

look like. But we'll do that right after this and

20:51

we're back. And Joseph

20:54

our Biden, he doesn't

20:57

lie when it comes

21:00

well, let me finish. When it comes

21:02

to him saying he wants to reach across

21:04

the aisle, he truly does not

21:06

lie about that. He is one. He's

21:14

laying his suit jacket across

21:16

and like, yes, please walk all over it over

21:19

here, please. Uh yeah, you know,

21:21

so his you know, at one

21:23

point nine trillion dollar COVID

21:25

relief package rolled out at the end

21:27

of last week, and a lot of people are like, oh

21:29

my god, wow, this is great.

21:32

There is stuff like being in there that

21:34

people need. Sure, there's

21:36

also a lot of shortcomings and

21:38

a lot of deception that I agree

21:41

with other people who um are

21:43

a little who are scratching their head at

21:46

this on for multiple reasons. Um.

21:48

Now again, yes, there is good things in there,

21:50

like extending um the unemployment

21:53

benefits like that was needed, obviously,

21:56

increasing the three per week to

21:58

four hundred. Great uh

22:00

evictions. They're saying fifty billion

22:02

dollars in rent relief, which

22:04

is great, fantastic. However, experts

22:07

say we need about seventy to do

22:09

this right, to not actually to

22:11

not actually have that fall onto

22:14

people and completely burden them

22:16

and bury them. So, okay, that's

22:18

fine, you got fifty to seventy. Maybe you can

22:20

make that up. There's maybe there's time, who knows.

22:22

I don't know, but I just

22:24

want to point out this two thousand dollar check thing

22:27

because if you paid attention

22:29

the last few weeks, two thousand dollar

22:32

checks has been like the fucking

22:35

you know menu item everyone's been looking at.

22:37

And even Donald Trump manutes

22:39

to be like, yep, two k that

22:43

was a wild day. That was a wild day.

22:45

Yeah, I mean we'll both candidates and Georgia

22:47

were running on the two thousand dollars

22:49

stimulant, like everyone was talking two

22:51

thousand dollars and now all of a sudden it's this cute

22:54

little addition problem.

22:56

Yeah, it's so okay. I know, I

22:58

said two thousand. I know, I Joseph

23:01

R. Biden even myself came to

23:03

George and said, hey, uh,

23:05

black people, help me get

23:08

us off and war knock in here, and I'm

23:10

cutting two thousand dollar checks.

23:12

Fucking on the twenty at

23:14

twelve oh one, family, it's

23:17

on cut to the

23:19

Senate. The it's been

23:21

flipped. Uh, they've delivered

23:23

the two senators and now we're seeing fourteen

23:26

hundred dollar checks. Now you're saying, Jamie,

23:28

four okay, here's okay. I know, I said

23:30

two thousand. But hold on, hold on, hold on,

23:32

okay, So where's okay?

23:35

Let me finish? Okay?

23:37

In December? How much was the

23:39

checks that they approved in December? How much

23:41

was that numerica? They were

23:44

they were okay? And

23:46

I said how much I'm gonna give people? You

23:48

said you were going to give us two thousand? James,

23:50

No, no no, no, hold on, hold on, But

23:53

what am I saying? Now? What's the check I'm cutting? But

23:55

the checks i'm cutting now, you

23:57

said they're going to be okay,

23:59

four teen hundred plus six hundred

24:01

equals. I don't think that's relevant

24:04

to what we're talking. Well, on

24:07

January I had to add, well,

24:10

you didn't see when I said two thousand dollars.

24:12

I actually there was somebody

24:14

behind me holding up an asterisk on a

24:17

on a fucking placard.

24:21

Oh yeah, they're taxing the two thousand dollars, that's all.

24:25

Yeah,

24:27

So we're looking at a thing where

24:30

yes, two thousand dollars was dangled

24:32

in front of people, and now we're doing the

24:34

thing of like, oh, well, what I meant was six

24:36

hundred from December that most of people

24:39

a lot of people have got, and then fourteen hundred

24:41

that's already we're beginning

24:43

this slippery slope of bullshit,

24:46

um, which isn't a surprise. This is why you

24:49

know, I think a lot of people we're going

24:51

into this or like, no one's expecting Joe

24:53

Biden to actually deliver on any of

24:55

this ship sadly, but all we

24:57

all we have is the opportunity

25:00

just to delay, you know, the

25:02

nonsense we saw from January six

25:04

from becoming like totally every day

25:07

a lot of things is like, right, it's a the

25:10

packages one point nine, so it's under the two

25:12

trillion that apparently Republicans

25:14

had such a hard time dealing with so

25:16

you figure, okay, so by kneecap in the two

25:19

thousand and four you've managed to bring

25:21

that cost down to make it palatable

25:23

for Republicans. But my question is

25:26

these people were just raw

25:28

raying the the insurrection.

25:31

There's the GOP is now a sedition party,

25:34

and you still want to give them

25:37

a seat at the table and act as

25:39

if any objection they would have is

25:41

valid. That's where I'm now,

25:43

like, what what mere

25:46

days after still promising

25:49

two thousand two? Like it just doesn't

25:52

I don't know, And it makes me like you're

25:54

totally right that no one actually expects

25:57

him to come through with absolutely

26:00

anything that he promised. But the bar

26:02

is so like below the floor,

26:04

like several layers deep into the crust of

26:06

the earth for this administration, and I

26:08

know that it's it's like, I'm glad

26:11

people are piste off about it because I know people are running

26:13

out of energy um

26:15

for things to allocate kissed off about.

26:17

But this it's it's ridiculous. It's a like

26:19

a I mean, everyone's posting two tweets

26:21

from Joe Biden made two

26:24

like three to four days apart, where

26:27

he flips on the promise in real time,

26:29

and it's like you can't. It's you

26:31

know, he finds enough money to

26:34

like to do

26:36

all his ship like there there's no reason

26:39

that he can't keep this one promise.

26:41

It's also terrible optics for that administration,

26:44

Like I don't think that they actually truly

26:46

give a funk about people in a meaningful way.

26:49

But even just from a pr standpoint, this

26:51

is like an extremely like

26:54

shortsighted, ridiculous thing to do,

26:56

Like I just don't how

26:59

like how not smart do

27:01

they think? We are apparently ridiculously

27:04

not smart or they completely are out

27:06

of touch with what people are needing

27:09

right now, you know what? More than that that, it's like, well

27:11

it's four hundred. I think they

27:14

do know though, It's like they

27:16

know, they know that they're not giving people

27:18

enough. But it wasn't that that sweet

27:21

that was going around last month of like six

27:23

dollars is what rich people think. Poor people

27:25

think is a lot of money.

27:28

They're like they're still going like this is still a lot of

27:30

money. Yeah, exactly.

27:33

I think it ends there without being like what that difference

27:35

is when you have a child with

27:38

special needs, or you have a

27:40

child or maybe a parent,

27:42

you tell a relative or a partner like

27:45

things very

27:47

they vary for different people, and

27:49

to to act like six hundred dollars

27:52

it's truly going to mean the difference, unfortunately,

27:55

between life and death. I

27:57

assume, just based on how the

28:00

pandemics panning out, how just

28:02

everything we're seeing in the and even you

28:04

know that viral video, unfortunate

28:07

viral video of that mother who was like sobbing

28:10

about how she couldn't afford insulin, which is unfortunately

28:12

very normal and tragical,

28:17

But six hundred dollars do you want to fucking

28:19

go back on that? I think that's what's ridiculous. And

28:21

you know, you see some people there's like, you know,

28:23

some Biden stands coming out in the media,

28:26

whether it's people being like wow, really impressed,

28:28

like just completely blowing past the fact

28:30

that he said two thousand and that's four, to

28:33

just be like this is so great, blah blah blah.

28:35

There's something there's like a Jazzebel article it is like I can't

28:37

believe I'm yas queening Joe Biden.

28:39

And to your point, Jamie, that's how

28:42

low the bar is. It's like, well, hold

28:44

on your only yes, queening Joe Biden

28:46

because the bar is like subterranean

28:49

at the moment, and there's no it's

28:51

just because you saw the top of his bald head coming

28:53

out the dirt. You're like, oh, there he is. Yeah,

29:00

yeah, I mean it's it's just not a good

29:02

time to like start licking

29:04

that boot, Like why,

29:07

why right now would you be

29:09

inclined to lick a boot for someone

29:11

who is not even giving you what he promised

29:14

three days ago? Like yeah, you

29:16

know, and and people

29:18

are so I mean it's like everyone you know, and I

29:20

know that everyone is desperate for him to

29:23

be the president so that the current president

29:25

is not the president. That doesn't mean that,

29:27

uh, we have to lick this man's boot. We don't.

29:30

And I ana

29:35

w yeah, I mean it's

29:37

again a lot of people, will you know the other

29:40

more you know, establishment logic or

29:42

I'm like, well, you got to see what you can pass.

29:44

You gotta see what you can pass, and we

29:47

look, Joe Biden knows he went

29:49

through the same exercise in the Great Recession

29:51

when he was with the Vice president and they tried

29:53

to pass the stimulus bill that economists

29:56

are like seven, that's

29:58

that's not even in what the a

30:00

you're gonna do with that, and like, well, stimulate

30:02

the economy, Like, fuck you will,

30:05

that's nothing. I'm telling you,

30:07

I'm a fucking economy. This us The group

30:09

of people you consulted with that that is not enough

30:11

money. And then they said, well we can't get Republicans

30:14

to degree. Okay, then but that

30:16

isn't enough, So what the

30:18

And it kicked off a very

30:20

slow recovery because of that, and

30:23

we're we're looking down the exact like

30:25

not the exact same, but we're in a very similar situation

30:28

where we have experts saying it's

30:30

a lot of money, but unfortunately, this is what it's

30:33

going to take if you want to take care of American

30:35

citizens. Um. And based

30:38

on the other things I'm seeing, billionaires did fine,

30:41

So I think you might have some money you can come

30:43

and collect, scrape up a little bit to

30:45

to offset a little bit of this. But yeah,

30:48

yeah, absolutely, I mean I think

30:51

that what is what's so fascinating about

30:54

all of this US right, is that the

30:57

the the extra unemployment,

31:00

it is really what kept the economy

31:02

from tanking like back in April

31:04

and May, right because people still

31:06

had so people still

31:08

have the ability to buy the things that they needed, right,

31:11

And so I think to say even even though it's

31:13

like, oh, well it's six and like maybe that's a

31:15

ton of money to some people, and maybe it's not. I

31:17

don't really know. Some people don't deserve it quote unquote,

31:20

right, that's always like the argument on the right. It's like,

31:22

well, rich people don't deserve two dollars.

31:25

But it worked, right, It

31:27

worked to give people the extra money. It

31:29

worked. It kept our economy from bottoming

31:31

out, you know. And if we just added

31:33

that to like taxing Jeff Bezos,

31:35

like maybe we could break even. Yeah.

31:38

Yeah, But I mean it's funny

31:40

because these billionaires spend it's

31:42

cheaper for them to literally weaponize

31:45

the ignorance of people on the

31:48

right to try and storm a capital

31:50

then pay their taxes. It's

31:53

like, for real, you know, I mean, the long run,

31:55

is cheaper for me to throw all this money

31:57

like dark money, pack money, um,

32:00

into fucking around with governance

32:03

then to actually pay taxes. That's

32:05

kind of the trade off here, Like they

32:07

do that because that's the way they can keep ship.

32:10

Like. So that's another just

32:13

hopefully an element that I think will

32:15

be hopefully be brought to light with the mainstream media,

32:17

when if you know, if

32:19

these investigations are actually going to truly

32:22

begin revealing the sources of how a

32:24

lot of these people are funded. Um,

32:26

and you know the platform that this

32:28

money is creating. So I

32:30

don't know, just something to keep your eye on, but we

32:33

see you, Joe. If you say two thousand,

32:35

it has to be too. I don't know, I don't know any

32:37

context you can say that and

32:40

it be okay. Like I'm trying to even find

32:43

the elasticity in my logic to

32:45

be like, okay, if you said you're

32:47

gonna like, unless you're saying I'm

32:49

gonna give you I'm gonna get you that other six hundred in a

32:52

couple of weeks, that

32:56

might okay, I understand that, but don't

32:58

be like, oh man, you remember in fifth grade,

33:00

I gave you five bucks that time and then

33:02

you didn't give me the change back. I think there was

33:04

two there, So

33:07

add that to it, and you're like, what

33:10

I gave you a twenty dollar bill and you

33:12

said you would pay me back, and now we're

33:14

talking about past month. No no,

33:17

um. And if you wouldn't accept that in your personal life, you

33:19

know you damn sure you shouldn't expect that or

33:22

accept that from a president

33:24

who was trying to get your vote. Like, but

33:27

yeah, lessons being learned,

33:30

Let's move on. I

33:33

don't know. I mean, that's why it's like exhausting slowly

33:36

just being run over by

33:39

a truck. But

33:41

it's only it's only running over your toe right

33:43

now. So she's like and

33:47

then when it gets to like your chin, you're like, oh no, no no, no, no,

33:49

no, no, no no. Um okay, So let's

33:51

talk about James Lankford. He

33:54

is a Senator from Oklahoma, and

33:58

you know, I think he's a good example of

34:01

like a broader discussion of how politicians

34:04

on the right or conservatives like

34:07

will never accept how

34:09

their ideology and policies

34:11

over the last century or so have just been an

34:13

actual manifestation of white supremacy.

34:16

Um, because it's it's because it's

34:18

just like why, I'm not racist, I

34:20

just think the election was stolen or

34:23

this has nothing to do with race, you

34:25

know what I mean. Because whether they are

34:27

because they are so ignorant that they cannot

34:30

see the complexity of what they're caught in,

34:32

or they are just just that willfully

34:35

racist and are like, oh yeah, but I'm gonna be a little

34:37

deceptive about it and use these little word games

34:40

to dance my way out of actually saying, oh

34:42

yeah, yeah, I'm I'm all school. I don't

34:44

think. I don't think black and brown people or anybody

34:46

who's not of my certain culture,

34:49

uh to prosper. So James

34:52

Lankford, I think is a good example because

34:54

he's doing the thing where he's pretending like he doesn't

34:56

know what any of this is. Um.

34:58

He signed on at

35:01

first to that Sedition Caucus

35:03

letter to be like, yeah, I'm gonna be one of the senators

35:06

who's gonna fucking we're trying to reverse

35:08

the course of this election, and I will use

35:10

my vote to do that. And then once

35:12

the ship went down, uh, he reversed

35:14

course. He was like, he's one of the few

35:17

people was like, Okay, that was that a little

35:19

too much? A little too much, Okay, I see what I think.

35:21

Uh, even for me, that was a little

35:23

that was a bridge too far. Which is interesting. So

35:26

even though he tried to at the last minute

35:29

find his spirit and soul, a

35:31

lot of people were like, hmmm, I don't think you can escape

35:33

this, especially the black people of

35:35

Oklahoma. Um, they were

35:38

very upset as a lot

35:40

of just Oklahomans were as well, just

35:43

realizing what their senator was participating

35:45

in, essentially making like you

35:47

knows, as much as he would say, we just got to make

35:49

sure the election was fair, or we have to

35:51

restore the people's faith in elections.

35:54

It was just about making sure that minority

35:57

rule was still effective, you

35:59

know, because for a lot of these people watching

36:01

Georgia go full blue faced

36:03

bust down Fatiana without

36:06

protesters and violence

36:09

and things like that, and it just simply off the strength

36:11

of you know, people of color getting

36:14

like maneuvering out maneuvering voter suppression.

36:17

That was shocking. They're like, wait, we

36:19

have all this ship set up so we can keep

36:21

it at least grid locked. But now

36:24

that it's happening, it's like there's

36:26

a sense of panic because that

36:28

is starting to erode. The effectiveness of

36:30

that is starting to erode. Is more people are

36:32

also starting to be like, oh, I have voting power. So

36:35

this was all about taking away the votes of

36:37

these marginalized people. So because

36:40

of the pressure he was under from people like

36:42

disgusted with his vote, he puts out this

36:44

sort of deflective you know, I didn't realize

36:46

what was going on letter quote. What I did not realize

36:49

was of all of the national conversation about

36:51

states like Georgia, Pennsylvanian, Michigan was

36:53

seen as casting doubt on the validity of votes

36:56

coming out of predominantly black communities

36:58

like Atlanta, Philadelphia, in Detroit.

37:01

After decades of fighting for voting rights.

37:03

Many black friends in Oklahoma saw

37:05

this as a direct attack on their right to vote,

37:07

for their vote to matter, and even a belief

37:10

that their votes made an election in our

37:12

country illegitimate. I

37:14

can assure you my intent to give

37:16

a vote, to give a voice to Oklahoma's

37:18

who had questions what who had

37:21

questions, was never also

37:23

an intent to diminish the voice of any

37:25

Black American. I should have recognized

37:28

how what I said and what I did could

37:30

be interpreted by many of you. I

37:32

deeply regret my blindness to that perception,

37:35

and for that, I am sorry.

37:37

The Tulsa massacre is a hundred years

37:40

old this year. I'm so sorry that you feel that way.

37:42

Yeah, that's what he said is I'm sorry you feel

37:45

that way. Yeah, that's what that apology

37:48

was. I'm sorry that you saw that for that,

37:50

but I'm gonna say it's not, um, somebody

37:52

smell gas what

37:55

was going on? It's uh, I'm

37:58

just curious what this blind spot like do you

38:00

think, you know, even

38:02

Tory and your work encountering

38:04

interacting with all kinds of people, ideologies

38:07

and racism. What the split

38:09

is of people who are like,

38:12

you know, actual truly

38:14

out here to ride for racism and the ones

38:16

that are so ignorant and

38:19

caught up in this like team sports mentality

38:21

that they just can't budge from beginning

38:24

to see any nuance of anything. I

38:26

don't always trying to figure out what the what it

38:28

is with us senators like no, that's

38:31

all bullshit exactly, Like

38:34

I'm like, okay, no, because

38:36

you're the smartest racist. Um, yeah,

38:38

exactly. You know, it really

38:40

really depends. I think it varies a lot from from

38:42

place to place. Especially

38:45

I think that they're, um, you know, Oregon

38:47

kind of has this reputation as being like wildly

38:50

progressive, and it's it's not right

38:52

like we've got we have plenty of people here

38:54

who want to disenfranchise people.

38:57

Um, and you know,

39:00

even people like on the east side of the state, they're like,

39:02

well, you're not voting the way that we want and we should

39:04

be able to be in charge even though there's fewer people

39:06

here, so we're just gonna go join Idaho.

39:10

Y Like, that's not how this works,

39:13

right, but I mean I

39:15

think it is. It really just kind of depends, but

39:17

there are definitely I think the people, like the

39:19

higher up you get, the more people are

39:23

they know what they're doing, right of course,

39:25

right, like the like it's it's I would say, people

39:28

kind of like on the lower end of the socio economic ladder,

39:30

right, the people that are used by

39:32

the white people, that are used by powerful people to like

39:35

oppress through the oppression work

39:37

for them so they don't have to get their hands dirty.

39:39

Like I don't think that most of them,

39:42

no, explicitly, right, I

39:44

think if if you sat down with them, you might

39:46

be able to get them to a point where they're like, Okay,

39:48

I see what you're saying, Like I see how this adds up.

39:50

I disagree with you still, and I still you

39:52

know, these are still my values because I

39:55

see, like the one thing, especially in looking

39:57

at like you know a lot of right

39:59

wing chatter on the internet and just

40:01

seeing how that conversation is going, a

40:04

lot of them have arrived to the point of just saying,

40:07

uh, well, every if if we don't agree

40:09

with them, we're racist, you

40:11

know what I mean. And that's and like and everything's

40:14

white supremacy because

40:16

it is. But it's almost like, how do

40:18

you talk to someone who

40:21

you're like, you know, It's like it was like it's

40:23

like intervening with someone Sometimes you say

40:25

drinking problem and it's like the alarm,

40:28

like they that can't be heard or whatever

40:30

it is. Yeah, it's like a shutdown

40:32

and again, and so no meaningful communication

40:35

can occur at that point. And I'm also curious,

40:37

like is there because I also understand

40:40

if for them there they've completely

40:42

been robbed of any context nuance

40:44

that it true them. It's just saying everything

40:47

they say is just that, well it isn't because I'm

40:49

not I've never participated in a lynch mob or

40:51

I've never said this, so like

40:54

that's just getting fired up without like

40:56

so that's why I'm always just like, I don't even

40:58

know how a corner can be begin

41:00

to be turned if I

41:02

don't, And then it's almost like and I'm not trying to coddle

41:05

racist people, but I'm like, is there another

41:07

way that it has to be explained to even

41:09

begin for something to like thaw

41:12

or begin to melt. But I don't know. That's

41:14

why I'm just like, yeah, I'm not really sure,

41:16

because it's like we do. I mean,

41:18

working class white people and working

41:21

class people of color have so much to make

41:23

common cause over right, Like

41:25

they deal with so many of the same issues. They

41:28

both have a government that doesn't give a funk about

41:30

them, um and like

41:32

their needs and how they're going to pay their bills and

41:34

get healthcare. Right. So I

41:37

think that I don't think that they're going to hear it from people

41:39

of color. I really don't

41:41

write and they don't. They feel very sensitive,

41:44

I think fairly um about

41:46

being talked down to and and

41:49

like condescended to because they feel like rich

41:51

people already do that to them, um

41:53

and so I think that that was kind of I think that was like

41:55

a big part of why they rallied behind Trump

41:57

was they were like, oh, he's going to be a bully for us, right,

42:01

like he's going to throw people around for us, um

42:04

And so yeah, I mean I think that there are conversations

42:06

that can be had, but I don't think that

42:09

those conversations starting out like that

42:11

I think that's white people work essentially, is what I'm

42:13

saying, like, hey, look like we're

42:15

all getting screwed over if we all just work together

42:18

on this one issue, right, And that's what's been

42:20

most effective, like at least in the research

42:22

that I've seen in the US, is that

42:24

you know, you don't have to do like the party thing. Just find

42:26

a bunch of people who are affected by one

42:28

single issue and make that the thing

42:31

that you focus on. Everybody im board with

42:33

whatever it is, right like labor rights or

42:36

minimum wage or you know, health

42:38

care access, and you just focus on that

42:40

one thing that that can actually

42:42

get people to work together, um,

42:44

as opposed to being like, well you

42:46

just need to be a leftist, right, or you need to be more

42:48

progressive, or you're just because it's right,

42:51

because it's like you're what they hear

42:53

is you're too stupid to know like

42:55

what's best for you. And while

42:58

we do, I mean, I do believe that they're voting

43:00

against their own self interest, right.

43:02

UM. I think that we also have to engage

43:04

with the fact that you know, if you feel like someone

43:07

has said to you, well you're stupid, but actually

43:09

sit down, because I need to tell you what's what like

43:11

people aren't really going to go for that. I think that has

43:14

to be um I think, yeah,

43:16

I think it's white people work. I think that those conversations

43:18

had to be had and I don't know that again

43:20

it's going to be like a political party thing, but I think

43:22

on issues you can get people

43:25

who would identify as conservative to

43:28

make common cause with more

43:30

compressive ideas, because like that

43:33

anger of not having ship or

43:35

feeling like your bills are adding up or whatever

43:37

is being reprojected onto

43:40

this like fucking Schumer

43:42

blood shit, and

43:44

then like at a certain point, like it's gonna hollow

43:47

you out because you can only

43:49

without actually addressing your material

43:51

needs that potentially could

43:53

be solved through better policy. Right.

43:56

And a lot of it too is they see they're like, well,

43:58

you know, minorities don't deserve assistance,

44:02

right, and like why should they be able to cut in line? I mean this

44:04

is gonna be the exact same thing with the COVID vaccine of like,

44:06

well how come those people get to cut in line? Like what are

44:08

they more important than me? Um?

44:11

So, I think, you know, there's very

44:13

much that attitude of like, well, like undocumented

44:16

people, that's not what they say or stealing all

44:18

of our healthcare. So I'm opposed

44:20

to universal health care because I don't want

44:23

illegals to have it. Like that's that's an argue.

44:25

That's a very common argument, right, um,

44:27

And it's one of those things you have to explain. Was like, this

44:29

isn't as it's not zero sum, like health care

44:31

isn't just because someone who is undocumented gets

44:34

healthcare doesn't mean you don't also get

44:36

healthlare right exactly.

44:39

So I mean, yeah, I think if you make it about the

44:41

issue, like a specific issue, instead

44:43

of about politics, you get a

44:45

lot further with that. I think it's gotta be

44:48

gotta say everything for everyone.

44:51

That's all I'm honestly, you know what I mean, Like, is it's

44:53

true. That's why I'm like, it's this team sports

44:55

ship the second it's

44:58

attached to this person, a Democrat,

45:00

this person, because it happens,

45:02

it's all over the place. I mean, yes, like

45:04

it's but this is what it is, you know, like because

45:06

this is everyone's retreating to their corners.

45:09

But yeah, I feel like if there is a way to just like

45:12

just to speak to the human exist, your condition,

45:14

the existence, the lived experience of being

45:16

a person being like more

45:19

food, you know what I mean, fucking

45:21

free food? What free

45:23

food? Yeah? For who? For

45:26

who? Anybody? You need food?

45:28

Come through, bro, you got it

45:30

for you. What do you need? What you need? What you need,

45:32

We got it. What you need, We got it party,

45:35

you know what I mean? And you hope.

45:37

But again, because it's a zero sum game,

45:40

it's almost like that conservatives look at

45:42

even generosity as still

45:44

being like, well, it's finite and

45:48

that's what that's what they're told by their

45:50

political leaders, quote unquote, is

45:52

that if other people get some, that's

45:54

less for you. Yeah, we're

45:56

not going to give anybody anything like that's the That's

45:58

the part they don't say is like, okay, so all

46:04

the massive wealth hoarding, They're like, oh, don't

46:06

look at all this wealth hoarding happening right here.

46:08

It's the same conversation anybody has,

46:11

most people, I think everybody has if they ever

46:13

asked for a raise at their job, well,

46:16

you know, if we if

46:18

we did that then

46:21

or I just got to see, there's

46:23

just not enough right now, you know what I mean, Like it's

46:25

and it's I and if if you were talking to a

46:27

CEO, they're not having those conversations,

46:30

we're like, well, could they make less and

46:32

then wouldn't that create the money? Isn't that a

46:34

way to do that for me? Oh

46:37

well, but first of all, what the shut

46:39

the funk up. We're never going to do that.

46:41

We're just sort of like where we're at, like we don't

46:43

even have the imagination as a nation

46:46

to be like, yeah, but what about you though

46:48

you got it? You got

46:50

it, so run your

46:53

ship, you know what I mean,

46:55

because we don't got it, because

46:57

because we're tired of being told hey,

47:00

uh you know if you know, because if

47:02

I do that, then this guy is gonna want eyes

47:04

for their kid, and then the the other person

47:06

wants a neck brace. You know. It's like, you

47:09

know, funk that, but you live in a fucking golden

47:11

whatever the fuck? Uh you

47:13

know it's yeah, what

47:16

we hope the discourse can begin to like more

47:18

people have that imagination to be like all

47:20

the things are possible. It's just that like we got

47:23

to stop acting like you want Elon

47:25

Musk to have you know, elevent

47:27

billion dollars and that's

47:29

like his right to do that, or

47:31

you know, Jeff Bays, I need these fucking people. Just

47:35

those graphs showing how how these

47:37

billionaires made out over the last year.

47:40

Like would I don't know how you look at

47:42

that and think that's

47:45

cool. That's cool.

47:47

Yeah, like that's cool. That's cool that

47:49

the people who already had more money

47:52

than they could ever spend in their lives,

47:54

um like, are doubling their

47:57

their net worth or adding increase.

48:02

And then look at what's happening, because

48:04

it's truely, they're drinking our fucking milkshake.

48:07

Okay, that's what it is. They're drinking

48:09

our fucking milkshake from all the way across

48:11

the room in their mansions. And then we're

48:13

still over here fighting each other, not realizing,

48:16

like, actually, you're drinking the milkshake. Motherfucker.

48:19

Are they're drinking the milkshake over there, the

48:21

billionaires are, they've been, They're out there.

48:23

They're fucking drinking so much of it. Yeah,

48:28

pointing fingers at each other when

48:30

no one has the ability to drink

48:32

the milkshake. Anyway.

48:35

This Paul Thomas, this Paul Thomas Anderson

48:37

metaphor brought to you by a stoner bro

48:41

You know, I got a look. I gotta give it up from my valley

48:43

brethren. Okay,

48:46

let's also just one last thing before you get on head

48:48

on out. I just want to talk about the border wall, um,

48:50

because Trump went there last week, um

48:53

as part of like his you know good

48:56

I don't understand like what that even was

48:58

about him remove him

49:00

so he can't pardon any more people? How about

49:02

that? And you might make your investigations more effect at

49:05

on whatever? What the funk do I know? I'm just watching

49:07

everybody get crushed in slow motion? So

49:10

you know what? This this wall cost fifteen

49:12

billion dollars about taxpayer of taxpayer

49:15

money roughly four hundred miles

49:17

um, which is okay,

49:20

fine, um

49:22

it I mean he only built eighty

49:25

miles of wall where there was nothing

49:27

there before. So think about that.

49:29

Of the four hundles of like reinforced, only

49:31

eighty knew and it costs fifteen

49:34

billion dollars. You know how much money?

49:36

Uh? The administration was initially

49:38

investing into vaccines twelve

49:40

billion Jesus fun that

49:43

was. This is the initial outlay. So even

49:45

when you compare we were again

49:48

like you're saying Tory investing

49:50

in physical manifestations of division

49:53

rather than you know, putting

49:55

that into vaccines. Not that he knew, I

49:58

mean, not that the president could have known the was

50:00

going to be a pandemic when that money was being spent.

50:02

But just to give you an idea of what

50:04

fifteen billion dollars looks like to a

50:06

politician to a wall, shure, covid.

50:10

Let's not get to fift Maybe do twelve. We'll

50:12

see, we'll see what works. And the

50:14

other thing is a lot of like roads

50:17

were being made to make the construction

50:20

to get to the border. You have to make a

50:22

road to get to the border, to get to

50:24

the wall, to build the wall. Just

50:27

so you know, it's blasting through mountains

50:30

and ravines to create access

50:32

roads for the machinery. Those

50:35

roads are now being used for migration.

50:38

Not that I'm saying it's a problem, but I'm just saying,

50:40

like, bless you, sir for self. You

50:42

actually made it easier. You manifested. Yeah,

50:46

so ship my brain is collapsing.

50:48

Wow. Yeah, that was just one of the few

50:50

things I was like, just everything is a cell

50:53

phone, you know what I mean, even in the name

50:55

of trying to do what like

50:57

what they felt was right, which is really

50:59

just just cruel, barbaric shit. Uh,

51:02

you ended up making a nice path there,

51:05

so kudos. Uh.

51:10

One more day. Huh, one more more

51:12

day, I have. I brought one more day

51:14

and it's all over

51:16

if you If you want any late night hosts

51:18

the other week, they're like eggs

51:23

sting. I'm like, did you can't

51:26

wait? Can't wait? Um? I brought

51:28

my fun story. Okay, let's

51:30

do that after the break and

51:41

we're back, Jamie, do

51:43

you have a fun story to talk about? Like everything's been

51:45

a bummerful? You got something good? I

51:48

don't know, warm my heart. I

51:51

I genuinely struggled to find a fun I

51:56

found any, I found an interesting. I settled

51:58

for an interesting. Is

52:01

going back to

52:02

the Tom Cruise

52:04

COVID nineteen on the set of Mission

52:07

Impossible? Yeah,

52:11

well, what do you mean? Right? So?

52:13

I think last month Tom Cruise

52:16

had one of his famous

52:18

little outbursts. Um,

52:21

but it was for once, um, not

52:23

to recruit people to scientology.

52:25

It was to get people to wear masks to fight COVID

52:27

nineteen. My theory is not

52:29

because he actually cares, but because he needs

52:32

to live forever and so he needs everyone around

52:34

him. Um, you know, on

52:37

that wellness journey with him

52:39

exactly now. As

52:42

of um this

52:44

week, Tom Cruise reportedly

52:48

buys robots to enforce

52:50

COVID nineteen safety on films,

52:54

So I

52:56

have to just stop. That's

52:59

the headline. That's the headline.

53:01

It's on page six, so grained. But he

53:04

has allegedly bought COVID bots

53:07

just patrolled the set. He's making

53:09

a bunch of robot coops to make

53:11

sure that uh COVID nineteen

53:13

does not spread on the set of Mission

53:15

Impossible seven, allegedly at his

53:18

own expense. So

53:20

it's someone's a source said,

53:24

Tom is so serious about making sure the

53:26

shoot isn't shut down that he's splashed

53:28

out on these robots as he can't

53:30

be everywhere to ensure people are behaving themselves,

53:32

so he has a full on Big Brother surveillance

53:35

system on the set of Mission Impossible. So

53:37

if you so much as take your

53:39

mask down for a sip of iceed coffee, I don't

53:41

know. I don't know what the what the robot does if

53:43

it just starts like going like is it a video camera

53:46

or like, I don't know, is there someone sitting like on the other

53:48

end of the screen, Like I mean, like, hey, motherfucker,

53:51

put your mask over your nose. I guess it's

53:53

a it's a it's a robot and they're patrolling

53:56

and they have cameras

53:58

and if you're paying a mask, I don't know if it's just

54:00

like text Tom Cruse,

54:02

I don't know who what it does if you

54:05

if you like

54:07

live, he's gonna have someone watching Camber's live. Otherwise,

54:10

Like what difference does it mean? Isn't he being

54:12

in the movie? Isn't That's

54:15

so it's

54:17

it was just due

54:20

to robots, robots

54:22

that are like monitoring the laborers

54:25

to make sure they don't fuck up. Boss's

54:27

bag is like wow,

54:31

like we're there. It's like I've got these robo Pinkerton's

54:34

I've hired to club this ship out of you

54:36

for brtting my insurance at risk

54:39

for this production. That's

54:42

that's the first. Because he got like a lot of positive

54:44

press attention for screaming at two

54:47

um crew laborers for not

54:49

wearing masks, which is like fair

54:52

enough, but did you hear the quote that

54:54

he did was like scary. He was

54:56

like, if I see you do this again, you're fucking

54:59

gone. And it was they were standing too

55:01

close together. It wasn't even like I

55:04

don't know, I feel like he's he's taking

55:06

this to a place of like let

55:08

me punish the crew who makes

55:10

like point zero zero one percent of what I

55:12

do instead of like let me like

55:15

he's in a position where he could maybe you

55:17

know, pressure the industry he

55:19

works into, have,

55:21

you know, provide what people need

55:24

to be safe about it instead of screaming at

55:26

individuals. But the point is he got robots.

55:29

His solution was robots. It's

55:35

great, you know, to laugh,

55:37

I had to lay Tom

55:39

Cruise has purchased

55:41

a fleet of

55:44

z news Do we know what it costs?

55:47

Do you know what that cost? It's just so funny

55:49

again, like the the

55:51

costs that the wealthy will

55:53

incur to like solve

55:55

a problem that could probably done a completely

55:58

other way. But you'd rather just be like not

56:00

fuck that, Like how do I just club

56:03

these people with robots? How to scare

56:05

the ship out of them? Rather than maybe

56:07

like invest that more into more safety

56:09

on the set, Like how can I protect the

56:11

crew versus like how can I like

56:14

punish the crew for not protecting

56:17

me. Maybe he's projecting

56:19

because I know, you know, he did leave

56:21

the set right to go spend some time

56:23

with his son, Connor, who's a DJ,

56:26

so who knows. Maybe he had a rough time

56:28

with his son trying to be cool and like his sons,

56:30

like he's like, that's not that's

56:32

not trap step and he's like, oh

56:35

no, and then he's like, fuck it, I'm getting robots.

56:37

Fuck you. Like he's got it. He's got

56:40

a DJ son. I thought I kept really careful

56:42

track of which celebrities had DJ sons. I didn't

56:44

know Tom Cruise, Yes,

56:47

yes, I knew Ryan Philippi

56:50

had a DJ son. I definitely.

56:53

What's the city that they that they run

56:55

out in Florida? That St. Petersburg? Uh

56:59

maybe wait hold on, someone tell me

57:01

in the in the chat Scientology,

57:05

Yeah, Deacon Philippie, Reese

57:07

Weatherspoon and Ryan Philippe Son he's a clear

57:10

water DJ. Yes,

57:13

in clear water but like you know he

57:16

like there's just some sick photos

57:18

of him like boat dejaying and know, yeah,

57:21

why wouldn't you you know what I mean? I guess.

57:24

So is DJ just the easiest job?

57:26

Like I just don't under like it's every

57:28

select J that's

57:32

rude. I just don't get it.

57:34

Is the go to nepotism job.

57:37

Yeah, because well

57:41

your dad's DJ, so you just you

57:44

fell into it. Well, but your status right,

57:46

like he he has status from his

57:49

dad and you

57:51

can enter with an audience. And the

57:53

great the reason what djaying is too is

57:55

like you can you can fucking pull

57:57

some you can you can funk around there, you could. There's

58:00

fuck are reinvolved. You can just have someone completely

58:02

mixed the set for you and you just you get up

58:04

there and you press play and you just start pantomiming

58:07

all this you see on YouTube that you think dj should

58:09

be doing, you know what I mean, Like, Oh, I'm twisting

58:11

this knob and my hands in the air,

58:14

and then like but it's all recorded,

58:17

you know what I mean. So and then that allows people to

58:19

who aren't DJs to be like, oh, I'm DJ

58:21

in here tonight or whatever, and then

58:24

there's no skill involved. You just be like I'm standing

58:26

in front of a laptop turning

58:28

knobs for a couple hours to a pre mix

58:31

set, and I'm gonna call that DJing. Like here

58:33

actually doing that, So there are

58:35

real I'm not saying that DJ as a

58:37

as a full job is a fake

58:39

thing. I'm saying the way celebrities children's do it

58:42

is plugging in an iPhone and

58:44

screaming for three hours. Oh yeah, look, if

58:47

you're out here look, I'm old

58:49

school. If you're out here fucking lugging

58:51

around milk crates a vinyl

58:53

and you're setting up your heavy ask direct

58:55

drive techniques twelve hundred, you

58:58

know, mark whatever you know, and

59:00

your proper vest tax mixer and you've got

59:02

in the coffin case and that's like and plus you got

59:04

to bring an amp and fucking

59:07

speakers and all that ship. Uh okay,

59:09

that ship is difficult. I remember having them, but you

59:11

know, it was a long time. It was a long

59:13

time anyway, Uh,

59:16

59:18
