Starting point is 00:00:02 Oh, again. Katie Stoll. Maybe the numbers will shoot through the roof if we just keep playing. Can we do that? We could do that for an hour. We could do this for an hour. We could just, well, sound off in the chat. Hi, everybody.
Starting point is 00:01:32 Welcome. Do you want us to talk about the news, or do you just want to hear Cody Noodle for an hour while we kind of bop? I can noodle for so long. Noodle buff. He can't. And to be honest, he has done it the last few live streams on our Patreon for several hours.
Starting point is 00:01:50 And I will again. He's all dressed up. Ready for it. He's all dressed up, folks. All dressed up. Don't know what to do. Next thing you turn around and you're streaming. Ah.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Here we are. Those were the original lyrics, but nobody knew what it meant. Nobody knew what it was. Yeah, but now they do. Yeah. Hi, everybody. How are you guys doing out there? We're just going to chat for a little bit.
Starting point is 00:02:12 We're going to chat for a little bit. Some of you guys have been waiting in this chat for a very long time, and I'm touched. like since yesterday I'm always trying to like keep up with the chat and then it's all of a sudden it's like Jonathan we're talking about news and it's very serious what are you doing
Starting point is 00:02:30 and I'm like thank you Prince of Cheeds for saying can Warmbo be? Good question I don't know canonically that's Apparently you can slow down the chat and I should have figured that out sooner than right now and slow it down how
Starting point is 00:02:47 How do I slow to know. I don't know. Well, if you, you can, there is some setting that I'm not going to play with it. Is it just scrolling slowly instead? Because I can scroll slower. But I mean, you can scroll. It's just hard to multitask like that. I understand. But who do we?
Starting point is 00:02:59 I said Mr. Charlie Anarchy. Seems really into the idea of noodling while everybody else does the news. So I'm cool with that. Boba every day. Laina Alien. I don't know. You guys are all here. You know, you know the demographic of our audience when like a bunch of people are
Starting point is 00:03:17 putting Freebird in all caps over and over. Yes, you're really specific. Nobody knows that that's the thing you said. The Young's familiar with like you shout out Freebird at the concert no matter who it is. Hi, Allison and Sam. Thank you at who these leaves. Hello Allison and Sam. Yes.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Hello. Hello, everybody. Hello, my mom if you're watching. I think she might be this time. It's impossible to know. I'm not there to get it set up. That's the thing. I'm not trying to diss my mom.
Starting point is 00:03:47 especially not if she's watching. Yeah. The moms are all on you. Katie's mom, log off. We're trying to diss you. Well, my mom didn't touch a computer. Was staunchly against it. She would watch us lose our papers, you know,
Starting point is 00:04:02 like not save properly and lose our school papers, hated it, refused to do it until I moved to Los Angeles and I got my first job on prom queen. Anybody ever heard of it? These guys did last weekend. But it was like this, daily web series and it was kind of a big deal. No, it wasn't, but we thought it was.
Starting point is 00:04:22 It was the first web series and Michael Eisner produced it. We were on the front page of MySpace and anyway, that's when my mom bit the bullet. And she went from no interest in the internet or computers to the other end of the spectrum, fan girl commenting on everything, following all my friends accounts. Now she chats on everybody. like all of my friends have to put her on their close friends list so that she can see pictures of their babies. Love you, Patty Stoll. My grandmother-in-law, who is in her 90s, loves YouTube and always asks me because she knows YouTube.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Nothing else about me, but it's like, well, stuff about me. But it's always like, did you see the YouTube about this? And it's just because YouTube just produces content. They don't, there's no algorithm. That's the channel. And I was about to be like, oh, that's not how it works. There's an algorithm and we see different stuff. We're not on the same YouTube.
Starting point is 00:05:19 And I was like, no, I didn't see that YouTube. I would love to see it. Send me the YouTube. That's the best way to. But we. That's the best way. Yeah, my mom got herself banned from Facebook again. Well, I mean, did you see that YouTube?
Starting point is 00:05:33 There was this really nice seeming strawberry. And it was a woman, but it was a strawberry. And she started flirting with his other strawberry. at the gym, okay? And it turns out she was married to a different strawberry. And I think there's like some race stuff going on with the video.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Katie, you look confused. This is a specific AI trend. Yeah. Fruit getting cut at the gym and getting mad about it. See, my journey was, I thought you were creating a theoretical joke video.
Starting point is 00:06:05 And I was like, uh-huh. And then I was like, oh, no, something switched. This is a real thing. Then I thought AI right before you said it. So, yeah. Here we are. What else?
Starting point is 00:06:16 And this bird you cannot change. Oh, that's what we were waiting for. That's all you get. So many people who say free part of the chat. That is all I needed. A lot of people did vote for Cody noodling the whole show. However. Those are all bots that I am interested.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Right, those are all bots that he programmed. So we are going to talk. talk about some news. It's been a light day. I dressed up for the fucking news. Yeah, you did. It's so interesting to try to plan out this week, the live stream week, because, you know, we do the podcast Monday, then we do this, and then we got another one on Thursday. And I understand that some channels stream every day.
Starting point is 00:07:03 It's just, it's different for us about what's our lead story. And today is one of those days where there are so many things. Our doc is so long and robust. However, it's hard for me to pick what's the standout story. So Jonathan, you have to. Yeah, well, first I'm going to share a tab, which is shared.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Yesterday, they've given a little press conference about the White House correspondent's dinner shooting, and I did half of this because we think a person was shot, a Secret Service agent was shot, but he was at, the suspect that you have in custody fired the shot, and he was like, we're still investigating that.
Starting point is 00:07:48 And you'd think that there are 10 Secret Service agents around. You'd be able to know that pretty quickly. And then today, Sky News, and you know, Sky News, but Sky News reports a Secret Service agent who took bullet and Trump assassination attempt may have been hit by friendly fire. So, look, we still need a ballroom. We do still need a ballroom. Obviously, we still need the ballroom.
Starting point is 00:08:09 But this appears to be... attempted assailant, but probably not a shooter. And the entire media has been referring to him as a shooter. I mean, even the story goes that he was running towards the, like, the entrance. So, like, he wasn't, with his guns. So he wasn't actually shooting. It seems like he, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:35 They were like, oh, get him. And they shot themselves. And listen, had he not been stopped? and tackled and Obviously that was his intention. Who knows what would have happened. But it seems like, as we discussed the other day, the thing you would want to happen in this situation.
Starting point is 00:08:54 It did happen. And I will acknowledge that, you know, according to reporting, there is a more higher designation that they could have given the event and typically do give the event. I don't think we mentioned that yesterday to increase security or whatever. but yeah, it did work.
Starting point is 00:09:13 They stopped him. But yeah, even yesterday as all of this was developing or, you know, Sunday, I kept looking for that. So what happened? Who shot? When did he shoot? He was running. There's a lot of information that is lacking here, but that doesn't stop the media, the internet, the bots. And the, the Cody bots.
Starting point is 00:09:40 really ready to pin him as a shooter. It just goes to show again to just give it a beat some days. Sometimes you have to, with this oppressive news cycle, just give it a beat, not look at all the reactions online and say, I'm going to wait for more information. That's literally always true. Every single time. Every single time.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Yeah. So there's that. But things take time. You know, like I understand like they don't have information. information about the bullet, even though they have the guns that it potentially was shot from, and it seems like an easy thing to sort of figure out over several days when you're making such a huge deal of it. You're making such a big fucking deal of it. But things take time, right? The FBI can take months to investigate certain things. For example, they could take literally eight to nine months
Starting point is 00:10:34 to investigate an arrangement of seashells on the beach indicating a message that maybe means that the foreign FBI director wants the present to be assassinated. Maybe it doesn't mean that, but importantly, it takes about eight months to investigate that specific thing. Oh, I was referring to something real. Oh, that's so wild. They're trying to be in sightgoe again still.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Oh, geez. What did your seashells do? I thought, I mean, it's too vulgar for playing. Oh, yeah, we're not going to share it. Well, also, it's actually literally just the lyrics to Freebird, which we get as demonetized, so I can't. That would just demonetized. C-H-A-A-D-A-D-A-D-N-G-E. And then in seashells go, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Let me tell you, it took eight months to lay the seashells out like that, let alone investigate it. So we got them. We got them. It's a live stream. I can let you guys. riff for longer if you want. I'm not gonna... My instinct was to be like,
Starting point is 00:11:38 okay, boys, let's put it back in the box. But, okay, please keep going. Wait, what's in the box? Open the box. What's in the box? Seashels by the seashore. Okay, so, yeah. I support the Cody Bots as well.
Starting point is 00:11:50 The indictment. The indictment against Comey. Number two. The second indictment against Combs. And it becomes very, very clear where the guy's priorities are. Right? There's an possible attempt on his life, ballroom.
Starting point is 00:12:05 There is a, the first indictment against Comey didn't take. He's like, who's going to get me another one? That is like, he doesn't get it. They've been sitting on this one. They've been sitting on this one waiting for the timing of another threat to the president's life. And then they're going to see, this is the stuff. This is what's inciting all the violence. James Comey, the threat to everybody.
Starting point is 00:12:29 What does he say when he tried to get him? He's not going to hurt anybody anymore. He did a... Whatever he said. He did a, like, a picture that wouldn't have gotten suspended from Blue Sky. He arranged 8-6-4-7 in the sand, and 86 at a restaurant means, get rid of that thing. Well, they all know what they mean. Like, everybody knows.
Starting point is 00:12:52 It means we should assassinate the president is what they're saying. It's what that phrase means. Much like when, for example, off the top of my head, who could I cite? Jack Posobic, a neo-Nazi collaborator and sympathizer, Jack Posobic, literally has tweeted 86, 46. And I think maybe he should get arrested to... 46.
Starting point is 00:13:14 I mean, by this... Now, it's a Republican-sounding number, but is that a Republican? Yeah, yeah, it's a different guy. It's not. It's a Democrat. Unfortunately, I can't remember beyond last week so I can't answer that question. We did do that.
Starting point is 00:13:25 They all have done that in the past. They all have done that. They do not care. this is obviously just a pretense to go after. We all know what's going on here. It's very absurd. It's just so exhausting. Are we even allowed to show this on screen?
Starting point is 00:13:39 Honestly, sometimes. Lately, I have absolutely been like, be careful what you say around your phone. Careful. Yeah, you might be like, don't listen to the Pope. He's the Antichrist. And that might be recorded and then released. That might be recorded.
Starting point is 00:13:55 You don't want to just say stuff really nilly. I certainly don't want to get on the Pope's bad side. Right now we're cool. That's a reference to you. We've got no beef right now that I know of. Good. Yeah, no, it's obviously laughable. You can point to rhetoric all over the internet.
Starting point is 00:14:16 All the time, people, with literally every situation. Oh, you guys are glad this person died. Well, look at the president's tweets when somebody he doesn't like die. But. Rob, right. Bob Mueller Most people When Rosie O'Donnell ties
Starting point is 00:14:33 He's gonna be like fucking good Like it doesn't like it's so absurd James Comey is the most I'm sorry James Milk toast Sounds good Bland Tall person
Starting point is 00:14:47 Yum I don't know what to even describe him You know He's not threatening To kill the president They know it's absurd When they go after Jimmy Kimmel It's absurd
Starting point is 00:14:59 It's a joke when they're like, oh, so Jimmy Kimmel shouldn't be fired, but you can say this. The whole thing is so absurd. They know they're struggling and they're constantly going to be struggling. There's no way out of the bind that they've got themselves in, aside from just like hoping that Trump lives forever. But they made a deal. They have decided, they had decided, okay, for 10 years, we're going to complain about cancel culture. At the same time, we're also going to elect and support and defend. a crass oaf who rapes for those 10 years. You can't do both. You can for a while, but eventually you get in these situations where they're just like, well, you're not allowed to, he said this,
Starting point is 00:15:42 and you're being mean to Trump. It's just absurd. Everyone was there. Everyone's been here. We all know what's going on. Sorry folks. Fuck off. Like, I have no patience for this shit.
Starting point is 00:15:53 It scares me. I'm no patience for it. It doesn't actually scare me. I don't think that this will stick. Well, no. It's a joke of an indictment. It's a joke of an indictment, but it will be coupled with this whole idea of, okay, this shooter who maybe didn't shoot, anybody. You know, let's look into the left-wing ties.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Let's, who's he funded by kind of rhetoric? And, okay, that all of the liberals are fueling this and James Comey. I always forget the acronym for the, the, MSNBC. MSNBC-7s. No, yeah. It might as well be. NSPM, NPSM, NPSM, 7. Thank you, EGLE.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Jonathan the Eagle. My point is they're obviously trying to build this narrative as they have been. It doesn't seem to be something that will stick or have any sort of legal weight. Interesting. I feel like we've been circling a theme. So like, for example, like let's say that amidst all of this, the president and his administration has claimed that the SPLC has been funding all the stuff that he supported, but he's like, they tricked him. They tricked him into doing both side stuff for Charlottesville, but also it was all fake and
Starting point is 00:17:10 made up to make him look bad. We've talked about this on the show before. Ever since this happened, it is an absurd case claiming that they're doing fraud because they, the SPLC has paid informants over the years. And that has been taken as part of the propaganda machine that we all know exists to mean that all the racism and all these events are completely fake. And Trump can be heard in previous interviews.
Starting point is 00:17:44 He can even be heard in a cut section from his recent 60 Minutes interview talking about how the SPLC, they funded all the racism, they funded Charlottesville. It's all their fault. They organized it. Did they fund the very fine people or the people who weren't so fine.
Starting point is 00:17:59 They funded the people. He's mad because he called a bunch of lefties, very fine people, and he thought he was calling Nazis very fine people. He was tricked. Boy, the media sure. But also, something that has been released today as well is that the SPLC, according to their documents, that they gave the FBI, in response to this,
Starting point is 00:18:23 was that they gave the information they got from these informants to the FBI. That's part of the whole situation, is that they think these groups are horrendous and want to limit and stop all the things that they want to do. And so they have given the FBI information from these informants to stop terrorist attacks,
Starting point is 00:18:43 to stop these groups. It's just a, it's very absurd. They ignored this. It was given to them, and they pretend like it doesn't exist. It's a clown show. It's all clowns. It's clowns.
Starting point is 00:18:56 It is clowns. all the way down. Exhausting. He can't get out of his own way at this point. He's not even trying. He doesn't care. It's all vanity stuff. It's ballroom.
Starting point is 00:19:08 It's enemies. It's his face on passports. It's like the arch or whatever. His name has to be on every building. It doesn't really matter anymore that he's 33 and AP Norke and 34 in Reuters, I think. Like, that's two poles having you in the low 30. That's bad. That's really bad.
Starting point is 00:19:28 And what was this, this New York Times focus group where people are just left and right regretting their choices? Is this the one? I'll be honest. I opened it. I had seen it on my phone
Starting point is 00:19:42 and then I opened it on my computer earlier and I'm logged out. And I didn't want to go through that. This was today. Let me search for, I'm seeing it on the screen. Learned his lesson. Huh.
Starting point is 00:19:56 I thought he'd learned his lesson and was going to prove to everybody he learned from his mistakes. And he was going to turn the country around and he was going to be a stellar president. What that he ever said or did indicated that he'd learned any lessons whatsoever. He said so. He said, he said, I regret it, I learned my lessons. I'm going to be better for everybody. He said that. I'm going to risk people being mad.
Starting point is 00:20:18 He didn't say that. Because at the time, people didn't like it when I said it. Well, you know what? And I understand why. I understand why, because at no point is this man likable or coherent or saying something. If you just think, watch critically and use your deductive reasoning skills, you shouldn't be tricked by him. So let me just preface it by that. But when he was, or not but.
Starting point is 00:20:45 He's a lifelong con artist. Yeah. And when he was campaigning, he had this way of being like that. He didn't really mean that. He would just shuffle through it He would just kind of like Nah, you didn't really mean it And that was enough
Starting point is 00:20:59 That was enough for people Because they were like He doesn't really mean it They just needed someone to say He was a more muted version During the campaign We all saw it for what it was I don't even think he was more muted
Starting point is 00:21:11 During the campaign I don't think that's true You're right It's not the right phrase It was worse I think it was worse You thought it was worse I mean
Starting point is 00:21:19 It was so obviously You know what Maybe you're right There's no point Splitting hairs I just mean I had reactions in watching the debate and being like,
Starting point is 00:21:27 we all hated it. And I said, I can see people accepting that answer. He didn't want to go any further. They didn't like the last four years. I'm not defending people by saying that, by the way. I'm saying it gave people permission or whatever. This person that says, I'm tricked. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:43 This isn't what I voted for. They were looking at something. I don't know. People are going to be mad at me. It's fine. Be mad. No, I'm not coming after you or the mountains. I'm leaving.
Starting point is 00:21:54 the mountains totally out of this. I think the, I can only comment on these people specifically and these people thought Trump was this blank canvas that they could project whatever they wanted onto him. This lesser of two, three different people called him the lesser of two evils. Which is so wild.
Starting point is 00:22:16 A few people were like, well, I like the border stuff, blah, blah, blah. But the immigration, I thought he could have gone about it a different way. like they didn't listen to anybody. And they also, like, let me find it here while this is still up. Education. He, I haven't seen much progress toward even moving toward what he said he was going to do, such as tax breaks. But he, or let's see, helping with the education system.
Starting point is 00:22:41 I feel like he just defunded a lot of the education systems. He said he wanted to defund the education system. He wanted to abolish the education system. And for the people who thought he was the lesser of two evils, and I know they just, it's just a focus group. The New York Times is not like what, what are the evils thing about Kamala versus Trump, all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:23:02 I wish they would ask that because I'm just fascinated by it. But like, I just, I can't put myself in the mindset of these people. It's very frustrating. I know what I know. And I think we do need, like, an off rant for people. And we want to be accepting and, like, really, like, try to understand and communicate to people how they were doing. a second time and all these sort of things.
Starting point is 00:23:24 It's just very frustrating because it's like I still can't. I still can't. I know. Because of all the things. I'm going to shout out. A. Corey, 6967 says they saw everything they didn't like as a joke. I won't say that that's, I agree with you. I wouldn't say that that's everything, but a lot of it is they're like, oh, he doesn't
Starting point is 00:23:42 mean that. They doesn't mean that part. He doesn't mean that part. He's an entertainer. And I think you're on to something. And it's not so much, it's like people want to believe that. They wanted to believe that. And part of it for some people was such frustration with status quo.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Like I know it's annoying to hear that, but so many conversations, not just Mountain Vogue, just online reading it, talking to family members, different people. It's like I'm desperate for something to be different. And there's some hope that this man will be outside of the system in some capacity. What do you do you hear a lot of well yeah but I'm curious and again it's like it's frustrating but I do want to like engage with these sort of thoughts I'm not to be clear that I'm also not defending this either I think people no but I'm saying that for everybody that when I say this I'm trying so hard to unpack it myself and to communicate to that my dear friends and everybody watching this live so I'm not defending it I'm just saying I know I totally I just I'm curious what the response is when they're like, oh, we just need to change and this and this and we're hoping like,
Starting point is 00:24:55 man, we need something different, some new blood or whatever it is, and anti-establishment. He was the president for four years. Already. I know. So like, do they... I've heard, I've said that, and it's still, even at that, it's somebody outside the system,
Starting point is 00:25:12 somebody that, like, I've heard people mention everybody in the Republican Party hated him, and I liked that. You know, that. he was whatever he was wasn't them you know I but everybody in the Republican Party now loves it so like what is it is fake like I've also heard that if this doesn't work out I'm done with the Republican Party like it's this was like for some people anyway I would love to like I'm not saying that's not true but I'm not saying it is true I'm just I am also trying to I know that
Starting point is 00:25:46 you think I'm talking about a specific person I'm trying to I'm trying to push together, synthesize a variety of conversations. This is like Tom Hanks and Catch Me if you can. It's several characters put together. Anyway, all of this was just to say, we brought this around to his, we brought up this story because of his approval numbers being so very poor. And I do think, though, when it comes to these focus group things, you can only feel like the thing he promised is good if you are woefully unaware of stuff.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Like Doge. Oh, Doge sounds very. really good. There's so much waste, but like, where's the waste? There's so a bunch of people mention it and they're like, this is exciting, but it kind of got derailed. They still think there's like there's tons of waste and fraud.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Immigrants are still a problem, and I just don't like that I haven't seen any benefit from Doge. I don't like that you know, my boyfriend got pulled over by ICE because he looks Latino. Like these are the things that they've said and so, you know, you know. That's the things that
Starting point is 00:26:48 they thought, I mean, We're like the jokes or like was the over exaggeration. And like, oh, the media is overreacting. You guys have a TDS. You're just imagining that this will happen. He was president and it wasn't good. And he got banned from Twitter and all this stuff. And he went away for four years and people's lives got continued on.
Starting point is 00:27:13 And they maybe were or were not impressed by Joe Biden. Regardless, they kind of forgot. And they thought, yeah, look, nothing. bad happened the first time it did but we have short but to them yeah but to them it didn't feel and it's like how bad could it be uh much worse i do want to read this one more quote i found what i was looking for john 62 white republican packaging specialist he did initiate the ending of the penny silly as that is and he initiated getting us out of the world health organization and the paris climate agreement two positive things i guess if you really look at it on the whole i mean that was accounting for a lot of our
Starting point is 00:27:49 budget money. I did not look up how much of our budget those two things were accounting for, but I think he's wrong. And the lack of a knowledge of what our budget actually goes to gave people a different idea of what Doge is, and I think the media has a big part
Starting point is 00:28:05 of it. They could have done a lot better job early on, but everyone thought oh, the sea has changed, this is it, it's MAGA forever now. So we can't actually point out that what Doge says they're going to do isn't like that US aid and foreign aid is a very, very small part of the budget and that getting rid of it would kill hundreds of thousands of people after the facts. They were like, oh, by the
Starting point is 00:28:26 way. And so I blame them a little bit. And I do think people who don't really follow politics, who aren't looking stuff up, like, fine, you were misled on that. Everyone, Republicans say nonstop that immigrants do tons of crime. And Democrats felt like they shouldn't push back on that and correct the record because, well, this is their issue and we're just feeding into them, and I think they should have. And so it's not all on these individuals, but I do think, like, he's a 62-year-old man.
Starting point is 00:28:57 You know, he's got some agency. Have a little agency. He's right about the penny, so. No, good job. Excellent point. Great job about the penny. I want to check in with the chat real quick. Also, something that I was literally sitting here
Starting point is 00:29:13 telling these boys we need to, needed to do up top and then I didn't do it. Which is please like this video. And if you're not subscribed to the channel, subscribe to it. I know that's annoying, but we're trying to crack this live streaming thing, and it's all about an algorithm. And the more people that like the video, the more it gets bumped in the algorithm. I don't understand it.
Starting point is 00:29:36 I hate how often I say that phrase. I can play another chord from Freebird. But we do want more people in the party. I want this video in my grandmother-in-law's YouTube. I want her to be on her YouTube and this pop-up and her to potentially recognize me. Okay. What if the Beach Boys hung out with the Beatles and Batman and they looked like studio jibbley characters, but there was also a tinge of weird racial resentment somehow.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Yeah. I mean, what happens to ask Claude to give me the beach boys and free my soul? What would it happen? I don't want to know. Don't waste your tokens or whatever. Don't waste your tokens, but I would like to know the answer to that. A lot of questions about Warmba V-Tuber win? Do you want to acknowledge Super Chat?
Starting point is 00:30:34 People want Warmba to be a V-tuber. Probably not. As I think some of you know, he's had a, some legal troubles recently. With some sort of public kind of, I guess like dampness is the most, the easiest way to describe it. He is chronically damp.
Starting point is 00:30:56 It's chronically damp in public and it affects a lot of people. So he's actually, he's in court earlier. So sorry, probably warm, but won't be doing a lot of streaming. We do have some footage of him in court if we want to, if we can quickly... Oh yeah, should we roll that?
Starting point is 00:31:13 We can check in on that, just sort of see what he's... Yeah. Oh, there's the footage. Oh, is that Worma with... Is that his holy Bible? Well, it's a Bible, Katie. It's a Bible, gotcha.
Starting point is 00:31:25 I think, you know, some of the things that have been hanging over him, he needs to shift focus and he's trying to position himself as like some sort of Christian, an activist at the moment. Hi. I wonder what he...
Starting point is 00:31:39 Hi. It's a clip. You, yeah, I've seen you carrying that around lately, Warmbo. Yeah. Is that, I mean, and you even brought that into court. You had like a court appearance and you brought that in. Is that true? We can't hear Warbo.
Starting point is 00:32:13 I don't know. I have a look out and it's going to, it's going to be good. And it's called How to Fake It. Wait, no. I forget what they ended up calling it. How to pretend to. You know, and so that's the full talk. And do you, okay.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Do you quote, yeah. Do you quote the, do you read passages from the Bible? All the time. So, Warren, Bill, I hear you when you say that you read it every day. All the time, it's really important to me. I would love if you could maybe, I mean, share your favorite Bible passage. Yeah, that would be impactful. With Jonathan and I, that would be really, I mean, I personally would.
Starting point is 00:33:09 would truly love that. Me too. Did you say fuck? Well, it's a stream. It's streaming, so you're allowed to do that. That's fine. I'm not going to read any thing into that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Yeah, I love it. Do you have thumbs, Warmbo? Is that something you can even? I have many appendages. And you know. Here's my, just here's my favorite passage. I need to.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Okay. No, hold on. I was reading it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was reading it. all day. And it's from Doitonamy.
Starting point is 00:33:52 It's from Doitonomy? Doitonimi. I haven't heard of that. No, it's... No, sorry. No, it's Ginnies, Genesee. And it's about... Hold on.
Starting point is 00:34:06 It must be from the Talmud. It's been a while. Yeah, it's from the Talmud. It's from the... Yeah. But it's really good. Hold on. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:16 I got it. Not it. Okay. What one? Okay. I mean, I'm holding on. Yeah. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:34:33 I got it. Jeez. Okay. Jesus Christ. Okay. Because we are life right now. Oh, God. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Okay. Okay. Okay. Oh, my Jesus Christ. Fuck. Okay. Okay. You know what?
Starting point is 00:34:52 Hold on. Cut back from Warmbo. Warmbo, no, you take your time. Take your time. We are live right now. And, you know, people are watching you. It's good. I'm sure it is really good
Starting point is 00:35:07 and we'll all patiently wait for you to find that page, you know? Oh, did we lose that pre-sent-in clip? Yeah, that pre-senten clip that we could oddly react to. That's so strange technology. He sent it DHL.
Starting point is 00:35:25 Isn't that weird? It's bizarre. Almost the last time, yeah. Well, that... How did you talk to the clip? well it was mini DV we should do that for other clips where we can interact with the clip that's so
Starting point is 00:35:39 awesome oh sure do you want to talk to Bill Mar or David Cross or no do we know to talk to let's you want to speak as sure should we watch that one for funsies yeah we could do
Starting point is 00:35:53 I looked at the shorter one the shorter one's funny the shorter one's funny the longer one is also very interesting but maybe we don't have time I think I only saw the shorter one Well, this is David Cross comedian on Club Random, Bill Maher's brick-back-rounded podcast. People sometimes want to say cancel. People aren't canceled because they're still doing this or that.
Starting point is 00:36:16 There are different gradations of it. There's soft canceling. I would say I've had some of that happen to me. Like what? Soft cancelling would be like we will never give you an Emmy, even though plainly I've deserved them. no bill you don't think I've ever I don't think I'm my show me
Starting point is 00:36:37 I don't know what the what the categories of the context or any of that you don't watch that shit you don't watch that shit you know if I can get shit about my fucking fucking bullshit I mean fascinating clip because I love the idea because obviously
Starting point is 00:36:51 maybe there are other reasons you don't win Emm's bill I don't know like just consider that I know that you can't but just try but also also, it's so interesting, he never, he always talks about canceling in this and like, oh, the college students, they can't take a joke in this. He did get canceled. He literally did for being unpatriotic, like, after 9-11.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Like, the government did do the thing that he's always, like, complaining about and fearful of, but it was a Republican government. And it was about patriotism ostensibly. So it's funny. He never brings that part up. He could have easily said, like, oh, you've been canceled, Bill? And he says, yeah, I said on my show politically incorrect with Bill Mar on ABC, ironically, given the news today. Interesting, interesting. He said, well, say what you will about the 9-11 attackers.
Starting point is 00:37:47 They weren't cowards. Everyone's calling them cowards. And say what you will about them, they weren't cowards. And his show got canceled. For that. That's the word for it. Like actually canceled. Like actually canceled.
Starting point is 00:37:59 That's how real time was born. They got canceled. Yeah. And I would say it was probably good for his career. No, but he has been nominated for Emmys. Am I? Sure, he's nominated every year, but John Oliver's better. What do you want, man?
Starting point is 00:38:14 Right. I don't know. But I'm saying you're not canceled if you get nominated for an Emmy. That's actually like there's no argument. You lost because honestly, you should be grateful for the nomination, dude. Right. It's so funny. Like, soft canceling is not winning.
Starting point is 00:38:29 winning, but it's being nominated. One time with Fillmar has received 21 Emmy nominations as of 2020. That's so many. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Yeah, he's never won. He has won an Emmy award. Outstanding informational series or special for Vice. Did he?
Starting point is 00:38:50 I mean, he must have produced that. So yeah, real time with Bill Mar not winning the variety talk series Emmy, but let's just look here. I'll share this. Let's see who wins. We'll start. Maybe he's not nominated anymore, and that's the problem. So, okay, Colbert.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Thank you, Ohio Flaffermans. Yeah, he hasn't been nominated in a while. That's why. Daily Show. Oh, well. Oh, so it's not even, he's not even in the same category as Oliver. It's with the late night guys. Daily show last, oh, this is weird.
Starting point is 00:39:21 They must have put last week tonight into a different category because it wins something every year, right? I don't know. Conan didn't win. My friend, Dan, Ryan, has several Emmys now. Yeah, lots of. lots of Emmys there. These are for producing, but still, whatever. Like, what are you, what are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:39:36 Maybe it's that. Was he joking? Was he being self-deprecating? Maybe you say stuff nobody likes anymore, and I guess you're getting hands to. I tried, you know, I think it's clear that Katie Stole will listen to something she doesn't like sometimes. Just to, you know, listen to it and say that I did, and maybe, I don't know. I don't know why. Massacism. I've tried with Bill Maher, and it's just so. painfully that. It's a rough time. He's so hokey. It's not even edgy feeling. It's like, oh, grandpa, sorry, you tried. Like, I would chuckle if that was my father-in-law at the dinner table, but, you know, but like, that's the energy. I get that he was nominated all the time
Starting point is 00:40:20 through 2017 and then stopped being nominated in that category. Okay, you can say like, oh, once I started saying things that the Hollywood establishment doesn't, like, they won't nominate me anymore. And like, yeah, once the people who vote on this stuff don't like what you're saying, don't like the content you're putting out there, they're not going to vote for it. Like, I don't know what, you know. Yeah, it's like
Starting point is 00:40:42 Gutfeld's not here either. It's not like he's canceled. He just sucks. We don't like what you say, and it's not entertaining, so we're not going to nominate you for outstanding variety talk series because we don't think it's outstanding. Yeah. That's it. That's not soft canceling. That's absurd.
Starting point is 00:40:58 and kudos to Dave Ross for giving the appropriate amount of silence and letting it breathe and then responding appropriately. Any sort of attention is probably ultimately good attention if you're a public figure. Not necessarily. You know what? That's something that can be taken out of context in a weird way. But I just mean you can use it.
Starting point is 00:41:21 If you get a lot of negative attention, well, there's other people ready to welcome you. I don't think anything His career is going fine He's a wealthy man He's got a TV show You never got canceled Except that one time
Starting point is 00:41:37 That he never mentioned Do you guys Feel like we should Shout out our sponsor I think we have to shout out our sponsor Oh we get to We get to I shouldn't have said have to
Starting point is 00:41:50 We get to I personally am thrilled with this one Because I use it I have used it. Do I have to pull up the ad copy in front of me? I mean, if I share it, it's weird because then people will be reading with you. I'm just going to read it. You're right.
Starting point is 00:42:05 People would be reading it. So here I am. I should have asked these questions first. Yeah, pull up the app, but now we're good. Here we go. Mothers! Mothers! Without them, I mean, maybe my mom's watching.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Without them, we wouldn't have us. I know. That's kind of wild, right? But I have it on good authority that that is how. things work and what better way to make mom feel really appreciated this Mother's Day than with a beautiful bouquet from 1-800 flowers. They have been helping celebrate the apparent us producers for 50 years now and they can make Mother's Day feel special even if you don't live close by. All their flowers are backed with a freshness guarantee and I can tell you that they look even more glorious in
Starting point is 00:42:55 person than they do on the computer screen. I can also tell you that moms love them. Mama's stole has gotten multiple bouquets from 1,800 flowers. And honestly, it just makes me feel really good inside when I give her flowers and her face lights up. It's like, it's a really sweet thing you can do for your mom. And right now, when you order one dozen roses from 1,800 flowers, they'll double your bouquet to two dozen. Two dozen flowers for free. It's like twins. If flowers were people. You get it, right?
Starting point is 00:43:30 Did you, uh, did you guys know that moms also make twins sometimes? Wikipedia, man, blows my mind every time. Anyway, Mother's Day is Sunday, May 10th, in case you forgot. And bouquets are selling out fast. Trust me, do not wait. Claim your double roses offer before they are gone. And visit 1-800flowers.com slash news. That's 1-800flowers.com.
Starting point is 00:43:55 News. What are we going to talk about next? I can look at things. Freebird. Free bird. Warm bird. We can hear tomorrow. We can talk about like, we've been reacting to a lot of stuff that other people are doing,
Starting point is 00:44:12 and we can get a little bit serious for a little bit, right? Pesticides. Yeah. Oh, we're going to do it. I mean. We're going to, yeah. Did we decide not to? No, we didn't.
Starting point is 00:44:25 Not to you. Again, this is just such a long list. Pesticides are all over this week. Yeah. Lots of pesticide stories. Lots of pesticide news. The Supreme Court, let me share my screen again since I, oh my God. You know what? I logged out of every thing today because I cleared my cash. And then I forgot to log back into every single thing. I made sure to do that. But anyway. I knew I was going to be using for the street. Supreme Court considers blocking lawsuits alleging weed killer causes cancer. They're saying cancer. Yeah. There's Roundup that we've known about for years. There's also been there's a new study
Starting point is 00:45:02 suggesting that it is a pesticide that may be responsible or at least partially responsible for the increase in colon and rectal cancer among young people. Yeah. It feels
Starting point is 00:45:19 like pesticides is just kind of under the radar and I don't hear Maha really getting on about it and I feel like. I know, it's so interesting, isn't it? I feel like, and listen, a lot of these studies are early. It might not be this thing. There's a lot of debate about Roundup, but I feel like maybe don't toss,
Starting point is 00:45:44 maybe allow them to be sued and then we'll see, right? Right. Yes, I agree with you completely, Jonathan. There's also, you know, this new farm bill. There's just a lot. We seem to be pulling a lot of weight for the pesticide companies here in America right now and trying to ignore all of these cases being brought. It seems important for us to be able to get to the bottom of it.
Starting point is 00:46:08 It says Maha Loz glyphosate, which is what's in Roundup. Maybe they do. They do now. There was a period where glyphosate was sort of defended in like kind of Trump 1.0 because of cultural signifiers and sort of like it's not causing problems, it's not doing anything like the climate it's not doing anything like we don't need to worry about it
Starting point is 00:46:29 but yeah with Maha sort of being taken into the fold I think some of that has been wasn't that one of RFK's things pesticides and food supply and et cetera getting to the bottom. Additives all kinds of stuff. Additives. Additives. Yeah it's to me concerning
Starting point is 00:46:48 I also understand that some people really rely on Roundup and pesticides. I mean, farmers, people. There's lots of different reasons why people depend on it. But at the end of the day, that's getting into our soil. It can affect livestock, animals, wildlife. It can get into the water supply. and it is true that younger and younger people, people under 50, are being diagnosed with colon cancer and rectal cancer. And we're scratching our heads and we can draw a parallel to when we started to use pesticides more widely.
Starting point is 00:47:37 And I don't want to get ahead of ourselves. I don't know for a fact. But it seems that there is cause for concern here. Yeah, and, you know, the Trump administration is obviously at odds with any attempt to do that because they're always going to sort of side with easiest companies, make more money, like just that kind of vibe. So anything pushing back or that will need to be addressed like this is not something they're going to want to adopt and do anything about. And also the colon and rectal cancer study identified a different pesticide than Roundup. This was Picloram, which started being sprayed a lot in the 60s. I believe. So it would take a while to get into everyone's food supply. And so it might kind of match up with people born in the 70s and 80s having higher rates of this cancer. So there you go, everyone. Serious. What I was talking around trying to get my mind right while talking about it on a live stream is this bill also this week that Massey has been talking about. And it's a farm bill. And
Starting point is 00:48:45 within it is a provision that protects Bayer Monsanto, you know, the people that are behind Roundup and these, yes. So basically some lawmakers are trying to take that provision out of this bill so that there aren't protections for them in it. And I think we should all pay attention to it because, yeah. Yeah. They want to keep using all. They want to keep filling us up with all the chemicals that they use.
Starting point is 00:49:17 They do. I'm so bad at multitasking like this. Reading something, listening to you, chat on a live. I mean, you did that ad spectacularly. You had me doing this bullshit the whole time. I know. I was going to say Cody, can it. I didn't think it was that loud, but apparently it was the loudest part.
Starting point is 00:49:37 So I was like, I'll just be quiet. Speaking of RFK and not really aligning with what he wants to. to do and sort of the tension between him being involved with this administration, the administration wanting to make our food better and crack down on all these companies putting all the stuff in us. He also recently came out and said that he's really, really, really, really, really concerned about long COVID, which seems like a pretty significant pivot from all the actions taken by the administration. and him in canceling research into long COVID and research in general.
Starting point is 00:50:21 I don't know if it seems like a problem. No, you're right. It does seem like a problem. He's been completely sidelined with good cause. The stuff he wants to talk about is very unpopular. But right, I don't know where he's aligned now on health issues that maybe the left cares more about than the right slash maha.
Starting point is 00:50:41 I know it's a weird gray area with some of these people. But like, has he been told to just not talk about it? Or does he just not care? I'd love to know. Yeah, I mean, he wants to do, I mean, he does want, he has these little pet issues he wants to deal with, but they also seem to kind of change every once in a while whenever he's, yeah, sort of like saying sidelined or they're not going to do that.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Not once in a while when this administration is directly at odds with the stuff that he's talked about for a very long time. Pretty tragic. I mean, I could say that, and I'm not saying have empathy or compassion for RFK in any regard. He knows what he's done. But God, just think of that so many times
Starting point is 00:51:28 when I'm watching the people in Donald Trump's orbit. You really sold your soul to this man thinking maybe he would advance one or two of your ideas, and instead you're a clown. He's major. you look so foolish. And I think that for RFK, you know. Except that I don't, what did he expect?
Starting point is 00:51:51 He should know better. This is a thing. It's the deal. It's the deal. Well, the deal didn't work out. Oh, with the con man, with the career con man who doesn't believe in anything and would betray you in a second if it meant he got his fucking ballroom or something. But I mean, he did allow, you know, he said, I'm going to just let him go wild on health.
Starting point is 00:52:11 He did say that. He did say that. And I don't give a shit what he does. And he kind of led him for a year or so until all of his advisors were like, oh, by the way. This is bad. Vaccines are like an 80-20 issue, man. Like, this is bad. Why do you, don't you like vaccines? You did. It was like the crowning achievement of your first term. Some people that are genuinely anti-vax. And then there's a lot of people who became anti-vaccs in theory because they didn't like the COVID vaccine, even though. you know like there's some people that are like yeah yeah yeah that phrase i'm not they're not to their core like i'm not gonna vaccinate my babies yeah from measles i mean look i wish it didn't may i wish the covid vaccine didn't make you feel like like run over dog shit uh it does it does almost every time for me and it's like all right here we go what's my what's my tomorrow look like uh but you know like you would like that to be the case.
Starting point is 00:53:08 But, right, the anti-vaxers got exactly what they wanted with. Big new vaccine they could spread misinformation about. And then a lot of people agree with Tucker Carlson that it's like made women infertile and killed people and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:53:24 I don't think... No double blind studies, no placebo studies ever done on any of these vaccines. They just like, they just like to lie. Even though I grew up near the Salk Institute. Well, we were told that was so amazing. Well, what sucks about it, though, but long COVID, that's the real one. You got to wear by long COVID, not regular COVID.
Starting point is 00:53:42 I know. Well, they, yeah. One's real, one's fake. Starting to be true to them. But anyway, he's sidelined now, and he just is. He goes on podcast. What I was going to say that another part that's sad about it is, it's not that he's wrong. Again, round up the different things.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Let's understand the chemicals that we use in this country. that other countries don't. And I'm not saying Roundup isn't because people in other countries use Roundup. But there are any number of chemicals that you can't pronounce that we are allowed to use in the United States that other countries, you know, take a look at. And that kind of attention to our food supply I think is super important. Not from that guy. And this administration isn't doing anything about it. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:32 And like there are huge. public health concerns in this country that there's no clear easy way to address and even pumping money into it might not help like I the street I live in is like less than half a mile from a freeway and I'm like shit like you know my kids breathing this air am I going to have air purifiers in every room like we we know from studies that like people who live within like you know they do worse on cognitive all the stuff and if we brought that up with RFK or really anyone in public health, what would we say? Is the government going to give everyone an air purifier?
Starting point is 00:55:11 Is there any way of like, hey, we can't start building homes away from freeways and stuff. People need to live there. Well, we can't regularly make sure that there's good filters and the, like they would just not do anything about it. Or they're like, oh, so you think like highways are racist, which they love to say as well. So they wouldn't, they would. Well, they were, but they were built. Yeah, we've gone through.
Starting point is 00:55:33 Time has passed. Yeah. It's just they're incapable of having that conversation, like many conversations, unfortunately. More incentives for electric cars will be nice. I keep, you know, oh, my next one is going to be a Rivian. I have no idea if there are any of these are good. I'm not a car guy.
Starting point is 00:55:52 You're not a car guy? No, show me the Carfax. No, I'm not a, don't show me that. They're not a sponsor. I just said, it's just the thing you say. Carfax. We should do something fun. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:06 Do you guys, does anyone care about Riley Gaines? I mean, it's funny. It's certainly funny. I empathize with her struggle. Sure. Yeah, I mean, it's also enraging bit. All right. So here's Riley Gaines with, you know,
Starting point is 00:56:27 face not shown, which I appreciate. Like, don't show your kid's face on the end, but like cute little kid. Oh, is my screen share? There we go. All right, let's watch this. I gave birth to this perfect, precious little angel in September of last year. It is April, nearly May of the next year, and I am getting bills in the mail nearly every single week.
Starting point is 00:56:46 Let's look at them. Okay, this one is a bill for $2,000. The service description literally just says vaginal birth. Here's another bill for $1,261. What's the description for? Actually, it doesn't even say. Here's another one. For $336.
Starting point is 00:57:05 The service description is subsequent hospital care. What does that mean? Here's another $675 charge for hospital discharge day. What service is it? You're just charging me for discharge day? It says on this bill that our insurance information wasn't provided, but our insurance was provided on every other bill. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:57:23 None of it makes sense. My husband just called. He was on the phone for 20 minutes, and we got no answers. They said they could get back to us in the next. I couldn't. I couldn't take it. anymore. No, no, no, we can get it. You get it. You get it.
Starting point is 00:57:35 We got, we got three. You get it. So, Poisein Pellegrino, by the way. I'm really trying to be a non-sponsor. A pivot is coming or she's just doesn't get it, man. It's just interesting. She's complaining about it. Doesn't she say in the video that I know that Donald Trump, President Trump, has been trying to fix it, but it's not,
Starting point is 00:57:55 is that in this video? He's not trying to fix it. But it is a problem. But it is a problem. He might fix it for her if he accepts her text someday. And it's like, yeah, let's do that for you. But he's not going to do anything about it for other people. I mean, this leads me to a, I'm not going to pivot us to a conversation who doesn't want to have.
Starting point is 00:58:17 But we can have whatever conversation. No, I'm intrigued. To me, this also. Say it. Yeah, you can clown on her, whatever. But in general, this is a universal issue for everybody. and the party that is smart enough to embrace the messaging
Starting point is 00:58:33 of Americans deserve and we as a country can afford to provide our citizens with health care is a winner of a message. And I think that also is enough of a message to rally people that don't normally vote. I think all the bullshit party politics, the political theater,
Starting point is 00:58:57 for most people is embarrassing and beside the point, as it is. I mean, that's the right attitude, but it's off-putting. But if you give them a message of we're going to give you something tangible that's going to improve your life, because this isn't a story that's unique to Riley Gaines. Everybody can relate to it. I haven't given birth, but I can speak to when I had a medical emergency and had to go to the hospital and had an astronomical bill, you know, that I'm still getting bills for and like, what the fuck is this? And then I just pay it because I don't want it to affect my credit score.
Starting point is 00:59:39 You should at least call the hospital and be like, can we, you know, what is this? Okay, I know you're saying this. I don't need you to tell me that because everybody in my life has already told me that. I'm trying to be funny. No, no, no, I'm just trying to be funny. Because yes, I should have. But at that point, I was like, I just want to pay this. It's fine. Whatever. But for most people, it isn't fine.
Starting point is 01:00:01 And it isn't fine. It shouldn't be fine for me. My point is that this is the kind of message that we need is a party offering solutions, not concepts of plans. Oh, I completely. And to be clear, I agree with you completely. I know you do. My reaction originally when you're like, we got this. I was like, I feel like it's just like, we've been saying that for 10 years and years and years and years.
Starting point is 01:00:23 I know. that it's like now a conversation of discourse where like aOC is like yeah we need a message that like provide and even buddhaedegh is out there being like yeah we need to provide like a goal and a message and like something for people not just anti-trump and then to have like matt iglesias be like actually i think it's good enough to say right i have to now let people know that before we started i was saying you know i could really see us having this conversation um and this conversation is that mad iglesias was online today or yesterday talking about how he was responding to a clip of AOC saying that Democrats need a broader message,
Starting point is 01:01:01 need to have something that they're selling to people. Yeah, healthcare being an example. And Maddie Glacius's argument was absolutely not. I'm trying to scroll and find the right line. Yeah, it's fine. There's a whole thread. But he tweets so much. He tweets so much.
Starting point is 01:01:17 It's a whole thread. There's like you have to go through the thread. Find it for yourself if you can stomach it and see his response. responses because he's saying we should be campaigning only on anti-Trump. And I understand that that's a winning argument for the right now, but it's a losing, kind of to a degree. Like, people don't like the man. That's clear.
Starting point is 01:01:41 He's in power. But we don't even need to campaign on that. That's true. That is true. You know why people didn't vote for him? I didn't vote for Democrats the last time and they chose him. is what we already talked about. Like, well, maybe he's outside the system.
Starting point is 01:01:58 We'll do something. I don't know. But the thing that you hear the most is that Democrats aren't offering me something compelling. I would argue it's compelling to vote against Donald Trump. But let's speak to what people want. Actual change. We're fucking tired of this. I'm tired of saying this over and over again.
Starting point is 01:02:16 And why won't Democrats just do it? The last election cycle, nobody campaigned on Medicare for all. I'm getting emotional thinking about it. It's so fucking. I mean, that's the kind of what my point was. It's just frustrating at this point where it's like, why are we even arguing about this? Why are we paying attention to him? Yes, it is, it is effective when he is in power because he's a grotesque, like, odious personality that people don't like and he fails at everything and he's annoying and people fucking hate him.
Starting point is 01:02:45 He's a monster. When he's in power and then people are like, well, we got to get him out of there. but notably when he wasn't in power, the Democrats lost to him. So like it's not, it's obviously not always a winning message. And I will just say it seems like, again, I think Buttigieg was talking about it.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Ahsaf has been out there sort of with this general idea of like, we need to promote something that's good in addition to saying, Trump is bad, he's a symptom of a lot of our problems, we're going to clean up that, we're going to get rid of corruption, we're going to do all those things. other stuff because what happens when he's dead?
Starting point is 01:03:23 What happens? What are you going to support when you can't say we're anti-Trump? Because, I mean, for a little while, you can say we're anti-Trumpism, but you'd have to also define what that is and explain why those things are bad. And they don't seem really capable of doing that beyond his sort of boorish behavior because some of the things he does there aren't kind of okay with sometimes. And I just, they just, so I guess in this whole, this whole conversation like, yeah, what we've been saying for 10 years.
Starting point is 01:03:53 John Ossoff and all you people who are saying this, don't listen to Matt Iglesias. End of discussion. Like, why are we? It should be end of discussion. It should be. But I know it's not. And I understand. And I mean, I don't know that we have time to talk about the California governor's race or any of this.
Starting point is 01:04:11 But I just don't know why it's not front and center. I mean, I do. I can pull. they're donors and or what's not front and center this literally Medicare for all literally fixing healthcare I know and that is why people are paying attention to him
Starting point is 01:04:30 he's a billionaire and he's got he's saying the things that are that we that need to be said and I don't know if he's blowing his opponents out of the water we're not tracking the um the California
Starting point is 01:04:47 a gubernatorial debate this evening because we're doing this with our friends. So we'll see. Oh, yeah, that's going on. The quote-unquote progressive candidate isn't even saying this. And I know. I mean, he's the progressive candidate. If you say, if you say, if this thing too, it's like, well, what's the progressive candidate saying?
Starting point is 01:05:08 Well, that's not the question. Who's saying what? Is that a progressive message, right? Like, he's saying the progressive things. So that means that that. that's what he is. Right. I'm saying quote unquote,
Starting point is 01:05:20 like the person that a lot of people would like, would maybe like to support, but he is, the person, Bcerra is backed by the Democratic Party. And I think that he's contained by that. And there's all sorts of stuff we can get into by, um,
Starting point is 01:05:36 in that whole conversation. Yeah. Uh, just generally like, yeah, well, we know, we'll see how it shakes out.
Starting point is 01:05:41 I think even if like there's this like cynical sort of like, well, Tom Starr's a billionaire, he sees like the, writing on the wall and he's like knows he's sort of using this to like wind or whatever he just like is like pandering maybe um maybe he's pandering maybe he's actually going to do this stuff I will say that in 20 2020 it seemed pretty clear that he just wanted to run for president to meet Bernie Sanders that's Cody's theory I've it's a good theory it's part of it at least part of it
Starting point is 01:06:09 I think I think it's funny and true um but I I just want to highlight that one of the talking boy, I've seen people online saying about Tom Steyer, the billionaire from California, that is our more progressive candidate, I guess, that he's been trying to get in any way he could. He ran for president. But Cody's theory is that it was just literally to meet Bernie. And he chose the worst. He chose the worst possible time to introduce himself. But it's very clear that he really, really wanted to do.
Starting point is 01:06:41 He's like, okay, fine, good. Is what Bernie said response to him. But you didn't even ask him for financial support? No. Perfect opportunity, Burma. I don't know. But to just like about that, I think that there is a value in like class traders. There is a, there are two types of class traders.
Starting point is 01:07:01 One's bad and one's good. And Tom Steyer is at least pretending to be the good kind. And I think that if he can get support and win an election by being a class trader and leaning into it and, and introducing more people to this idea of like the class warfare going on and just general class consciousness, I think that is a positive thing to not just introduce people to that idea, but also to show that it is a winning message. But I don't know. We'll see.
Starting point is 01:07:34 We'll see. We'll see. We'll see. We have to watch the debate tonight. I'm very curious. I don't want to say anything on this live stream that I don't fully mean. I do believe in watching these candidates. Because there's so much hype around everybody and messaging.
Starting point is 01:07:49 I'm like, no, I need to believe it for myself. That said, at this point, I'm surprised by how much I am compelled by Tom Steyer. And with a healthy dose of distrust, he's been up fun about divesting. And, you know, it seems that there was a moment in his life where him and his wife talked. And they're like, no, we don't believe in what we're doing. doing and we want to make a change and we want to use our money to do something good to try to bring things back into equilibrium to, you know, write this country and anybody that's running for office, high office, yeah, don't trust them. But I like that. I like a billionaire saying,
Starting point is 01:08:34 yeah, tax me. I like a billionaire saying, I understand this system and it's broken and I want to fix it. And yes, we do have the money for health care. And yes, we can make life better for everybody. I respect that. Yes, we can. Yes, yes, yes. Yes, we would, less we would like to be able to. Yes, we'd be nice. Sure, give it a go. Yes, that would be nice. Why not? Why not? Hey, why not? What? Me worry. Um, and also, yes, uh, Janie Koski, uh, you can trust Jonathan. Oh, sure. I'm never running until he runs for higher office. No. Get around there. chat again? Yeah. I mean, I'm so behind on the chat. I apologize. We've been getting lots of good. I'm definitely seeing it's easier for me to see comments from people who have my
Starting point is 01:09:23 picture next to them like Luke Degner. Not that you should do that just to get my attention. Dan Pavelko 8414. Love you all. I've got to leave. Oh, why am I? I got to read the Oh, wait, I have one. Caraviske, I don't know if I'm pronouncing that right. I would have joined 71 minutes ago. Why didn't you? Did you need to hit the button to alert? Some of the notifications are apparently not great.
Starting point is 01:09:45 I don't mean to put you on blast. I just am like really would love to know how to get the live streams out to people's feeds more. She or douch, baggery, hello. Armando MC 89. I'm fine. You know, this is compelling content. Part, so Gabrielle Sanchez, Part 17 of Wilderness Brings Cover by Cody Johnston Request. I'll play it later, I promise.
Starting point is 01:10:12 I will do it later. I don't think that Caravskaya answered me in real time because that's impossible, but I do see another response from them and it says, it just said the name of the stream. It just looked like a regular video. That's good for me to know. Someone, uh, sheer doubt, Chebaggery is asking, can we talk about OPEC?
Starting point is 01:10:32 And I would love to get the chat getting together and telling me, is it good or bad that the UAE is leaving OPEC? I didn't have time to look into it today. I cannot speak on it. Good or bad. OPEC. Good or bad. Sign off.
Starting point is 01:10:52 Sound off. The only thing I saw is that the whole thing about the petro dollar crumbling, it means it's not likely to do that since it's, they are going with us instead of OPEC. Yeah. I was going to say, well, we're not in OPEC. They seem to sit there. Yeah, we maybe we'll join.
Starting point is 01:11:09 What I do, what I do know is that we're not a part of OPEC. Trump's been talking about OPEC for a long time. He vlogged about it back in the day. Actually, I should dig that up. Really? Yeah, I'm going to dig, I remember him talking about OPEC in his vlogs. Are those archived on roll call or are they somewhere else?
Starting point is 01:11:26 They are. Is that a real thing? I have them. I mean, I'll go to roll call and search. There is also a YouTube channel that has collected many of them. And I have a drive somewhere with them on as well. I also have the clip of him saying Rick Perry watch him. He's a comer on my phone, obviously.
Starting point is 01:11:49 And anywhere, if you'd like it, I can show it to you. Did you guys? This isn't about that. I'll wait. I'm just scrolling You go, you go No, it's a hard pivot I was just seeing if you
Starting point is 01:12:03 Pivot Well, we'll pivot back to Rick Perry Watch him, he's a comer Oh yeah, easily It's so easy to pivot back to that Remember when I was watching Mad Men And then there was a scene Watch Mad Men, he's a comer
Starting point is 01:12:14 Sorry, go ahead There was a scene in Madman Where I believe it was the character of Harry described someone as a real comer And I do, that is true And then I was like Had to film it, send it to you Watch out for
Starting point is 01:12:26 that if you're going on the man. I got that clip in my phone. You sent it to me. I was just asking if you guys had seen about, I was about to say Prince Charles, but King Charles speaking. Two Kings. The third. Two kings. There we go. I don't have much to say about it. Donald Trump wants to be royalty and put a lot of effort into this visit. And King Charles did a speech about unity and protecting NATO. And did we all hear Donald Trump's voice for? I did hear his voice. You know, I was trying to be like, is this the right clip? No, it's fine. Well, listen. Anyway, I just was Apple effing the wrong spelling of this. He's not going to have the other spelling in there. She's a very, very hard worker and was very well organized.
Starting point is 01:13:16 And she's got a viewpoint that a lot of people like. A talented guy named Rick Perry just joined the race. I think he's going to be a lot of trouble for a lot of people that thought they were going to be making. it a lot easier. Rick Perry, watch him. He's a comer. He's done a great job in Texas. Let's see what happens. But I really predict that he's going to be some force to be reckoned with. He's a comer. Sharp guy. Sharp. It is every time I see a clip from him. And he does doesn't look great there, but much better than now. It's not someone I want to look at ever. Oh, I shouldn't say this. Do you want to
Starting point is 01:14:00 Do you want to text it? I'm going to say it. I'm going to say it. It doesn't matter. There's not that many people here. No. When you look at pictures and videos of him as a young man, he is so gross. And as an old man, he's still gross, but he looks less gross to me than when he was a young man for some reason. because I guess that's just my own brain of like he's old and unthreatening. That's wrong.
Starting point is 01:14:31 This wasn't a point I needed to say. That's okay. He's faded a lot. But when I see clips of Donald Trump as a young man, there's something viscerally in me like, ooh, avoid at all costs. Do not be in the same room as that person. That's a creep. And he still is a creepy guy.
Starting point is 01:14:47 I really shouldn't have finished my thought out loud. I think you did great. And I think that what I got. from it is that when you look at pictures of Trump when he's younger, you're like, that's our guy. That guy's going to be president someday. No. Have you seen that clip of Trump's mom back in the day talking about, I forget what the island it was? How gross he is?
Starting point is 01:15:11 No, she's talking. And it's like, oh my God, that is why he sounds like, maybe why he talks like that. She's talking about like an island and he's like, it was a very pretty island, but it's his mother. And it's like, it's uncanny. It's fascinating. Trump Mother Island. You can put up the tweet I currently have up there while I look for this. Because I would love to just read it now that we're reading stupid stuff from dumb dummies.
Starting point is 01:15:35 Oh, yeah, let's do it. So there's this Atlantic article called Something is Happening to America's Moral Code. Haven't read it, I guess kind of agree, but I'll put that aside. Mark Andrewsson. Tech billionaire, Netscape guy who's now one of these, you know, the tech. A real thinker, a real philosopher king type. He says, what could it be? What could the cause be?
Starting point is 01:16:02 Unfortunately, we'll never know. It'll be a mystery like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster. Do either of you know, like, woke, is it wokeness in general? Or is it like trigger warnings? Like, what is he saying? It's the, it's the, destroying America. It's not. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:16:19 It's obviously, this is absurd and he's a fool and he's really obnoxious and says a bunch a dump shit every single day. He said something like two days ago. I was like, oh, we'll talk about that on the stream. But it's already gone. He says dumb shit every day. Yeah, yeah. This was just the latest thing.
Starting point is 01:16:32 Yeah. And I was like, bookmark, what are you talking about? Well, first of all, the problem with his question that he posits is that it's going to require a little introspection. And I know that that's the last thing he wants to do because he doesn't believe in introspection as a concept. So he might never actually be able to answer that question. And this is, well, I guess this is sort of a full circle conversation
Starting point is 01:17:00 because it is so frustrating him. David Sack says similar things all the time. Obviously all the right-wing freaks, Jack Posobic out there being like, oh my God, I can't believe you say that. Well, he calls half the country unhuman and tweets 86-46. All the stuff, they're all doing it, and they just cannot contend with the fact that, 10 years ago, you voted for and supported and decided to defend to the end this ophish rapist monster of a man who is so uncivilized that you can smell it on him through the television set.
Starting point is 01:17:43 He is an absurd human being. He has been an iconic figure used to represent the most. moral rot of this country since the 80s. He is not the source of our problems, but the idea that anything other than him becoming the most powerful man in the country and some could say the world, as if it's not related to him is absurd. I can't take any of these people seriously for many, many reasons, but this is one of the main ones, specifically today.
Starting point is 01:18:19 I'll change my mind tomorrow, whatever else bothers me. But it's so absurd to pretend like, my God, the left got so out of control. After what? In response to whom? What's that guy like? Describe his behavior. Say some of the things he says. Talk about his actions.
Starting point is 01:18:37 Talk about how he talks about and acts around and toward women. Do any of those things. And then get back to us about Bigfoot or Lockness Monster. It's, I fuck that guy. Because I would love to hear your thoughts on Bigfoot and Lock. I'd rather listen to that podcast than his. I would too. I wouldn't listen to that.
Starting point is 01:18:55 Apparently Bigfoot or Sasquatch lives in my area, but they live everywhere. Indeed. Indeed. I think it's time for us to wrap up this portion of the evening, sadly. But not sadly is the fact that we're going to keep the party going over on Patreon. Yeah. The patrons. Dallas Campos says, Cody needs to get more drunk.
Starting point is 01:19:19 You mean at all? I'm the only one that's been drinking. Has it been obvious? Sound off in the chat. Is it obvious that I had a drink this evening? Sound off. Because it feels obvious to me by looking at my hair. You got drunk hair?
Starting point is 01:19:36 Yeah, that's what happens. I start doing this, and then I look in the camera and my hair is. And then you're like, yeah. I wish that I could mute my camera right now. You can. But I can't. Well, you can disable it, but it would still be on there. It would be a disabled camera.
Starting point is 01:19:51 You could do, yeah, great. I mean, I don't know if you need to. That's not what I mean. Oh, you just did it for me. Oh, can I? You can do that? How dare you? Do not silence me, Cody.
Starting point is 01:20:03 No, I want the camera to be on. I'm a ham. I like being on camera. I don't like looking at myself while I'm on camera. That's the problem. I'm extremely serious. Anyway, I had a drink. And in the Patreon version, those two will have drinks, I think.
Starting point is 01:20:19 Yeah. And I should probably ease up for a minute. I might even get a little high, even though I always say I won't do that and then I do. And then I won't, but maybe I will. Who knows? What are we going to do? What are we going to do in five minutes?
Starting point is 01:20:32 We're going to be a little bit longer than five minutes. We've got to let this video upload or something. Yeah, we're in a party. We got some more clips to watch. We got some Tim Poole maybe. We got some Elon Musk. We got music. I'll be playing all the songs.
Starting point is 01:20:44 People have requested in the chat. I'll try to get to some of that. Free as a bird. Free as a bird. I'd rather play real love, but Free as a bird's fine too. Both of those songs. It's not the best of the new ones, but that's okay.
Starting point is 01:20:57 Copyright infringement. That's right, exactly. The point is, we can do anything over there. We can watch, we'll stream, what do you want to stream? The Eternals? Let's just watch the Eternals.
Starting point is 01:21:06 How about, Lord of the Rings? It's not good. Oh, I've been watching, I started last night, Marty Supreme, and it's very good, but it's very long. It's a really long movie.
Starting point is 01:21:15 Two and a half right there, yeah. I guess it's not, that long, but when you're, well, it is, but when you're tired and it's nighttime and you're thinking about the live stream the next day, I was like, I'm going to pause this and the rest of the movie will be a treat when I'm done here this evening. But I was enjoying it. I wasn't one of the people that hated it. Yeah, that seems good.
Starting point is 01:21:36 I liked it. He's a good actor. Support him. He's really, he's a really good actor. Unlikable character, but I like the movie. I'm talking about Mr. Wonderful. He's really good. Yeah, he's pretty good in that.
Starting point is 01:21:47 that. I actually heard he was pretty good in that. Really went over my head. And McGrievey points out that last time Cody's chair betrayed him and I... That's true. I did go back and watch that, not knowing it happened. Oh, I told you. I told you. I was like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:02 Watch the lake house. Oh, the lake house. That's a fun one. Got to figure that one out. The lake house with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock where you try to figure out the magic man walks. I want my super chat back if you don't read the comment. I'm in the terrible sailor.
Starting point is 01:22:15 I'm sorry, Ivan the terrible sailor. I really don't understand how the super chat works. I don't know how to see where they are. They haven't been showing up. And there's David. Dave. I thought for a second, you weren't here tonight, but now I see you. Yeah, he showed up at one point and said he's really high.
Starting point is 01:22:35 Lakehouse. Maybe next live stream we'll get Dave on. Yeah, we'll watch so many requests. We'll watch B-movie. No, wait, they say play B-movie with your guitar. I can do that too, whatever. whatever you want us to do. Yeah, whatever.
Starting point is 01:22:49 Minecraft movie. All right. We are wrapping up is the point. Thank you so much for being here with us. I hope that you come hang out on Patreon. Patreon. Hope you hang out on Patreon. I hope you hang out on Patreon.
Starting point is 01:23:03 And I hope you know that we love you very much. I could use a shit. Thank you. Orcas are neat. Orcas are neat. Much. Thank you, everybody. I'm so sorry if we didn't.
Starting point is 01:23:17 get to you your name. Thank you, Lobster 2142. Cody will give you his thoughts on 12 monkeys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll do it. We'll see. Oh, I found it.
