That just means one day until Joe Biden is president. Let's hope nothing bad happens. I seriously hope that. Let's just say this. My name is Miles Gray, a.k.a. Because all I want to do is impeach someone. I got a feeling I'm not the only one. All I want to do is impeach someone.

I got a feeling so do Republicans. And then you say, before the sun comes up on Inauguration 21. comes up on Inauguration 21. Boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom, boom. I know that whole guitar. That whole shit, it used to be remixed

in LA on Kiss FM. Sheryl Crow used to say, until the sun comes up over something, something Kiss FM or some shit. Anyway, that's just, I fucked that up. But anyway, this isn't about me. This is about my guest co- shit. Anyway, that's just, I fucked that up. But anyway, this isn't about me.

This is about my guest co-host. Really, you should just be hosting it because I'm doing a terrible job already. Please welcome into the building, not even a Lil Zamboni, just Behemoth Zamboni at this point. A force to be reckoned with with its own gravitational pull. Welcome, Yami Loftus, Jamie Loftus. On the day I was born Zamboni's all gathered around And they gazed in the wide wonder

At the Greg they had found Zamboni spoke up And he said leave this one alone He could tell right away And Bernie spoke up. And he said, leave this one alone. He could tell right away that I was hamburger phone. Oh, my God. Ham. It just, like, left my body.

My head. All the blood went to my face. Yeah, shout out to your old Twitter handle before the yeah i know i was like wow that was a deep was that because you uh you you violated the olympics pristine copyright was that the was that what precipitated the abandoning of at hamburger phone yeah i got deplatformed by the international olympics committee so weird so weird yet rud Rudy's still out here dropping receipts of his connections to God knows what at this point. But yeah, don't fuck with the ILC. Truly one of the most evil organizations on this planet currently. So, love that for them. Well, thank you for stopping by. You know, Jack had important things to do.

Yeah, I was going to say, if he asked me to sub for him while he got the vaccine, I would flip a table. Yeah. But I'd start flipping tables. Well, I caught him at the makeup store because he was looking for prosthetics to look like an elderly man to jump the line. So we'll see what happens. Allegedly, I don't want to cast this version, but I saw that shit with my eyes. Anyway, we have to introduce our guest right now.

Somebody who's been on the show once, twice. Is this Thrice now? Yeah, that's my third time. This is Thrice Times Nice. Please welcome back from Portland, Oregon. I mean, one of the just focal points of political discourse

at the moment depending on what party you're in tory williams douglas oh hi i'm so excited to be here in my burned out city yeah yeah what's that like with everybody i feel like that's been the punching bag for everyone deflecting about the insurrection like oh but i but okay portland portland you guys we lit a dumpster on fire outside of the police station downtown i don't know if you know but that's the same as like domestic terrorism yeah and i remember a lot of the people who stormed the capital were being disappeared in vans too that i felt like there was another thing that was uh disappeared onto flights that they had booked previously because that's how you do a coup is you show up you're like i'm gonna be here for three nights okay hi and then i then i gotta go back home but let's not let's be real i'm not i can't really eat up in all my vacation time the revolution the revolution has got to be on my

schedule that's what's so weird too is like you know at the same time we're all still burdened by laboring for money so like even as much as you want to turn up and kick off the revolution, you can't cross your boss. You can't fuck that up. Or you'll lose your health care if you had it in the first place. Jesus Christ. But maybe we can fight for that too. But anyway, that's a whole other round of realizations we're going to have to have in the country. But let's talk a little bit about what we're going to get into before we kick off our talking here.

First, we're going to talk about some cool math from President-elect Joe Biden about $2,000 checks. We'll see how that, we'll check in on that story, what has become of the $2,000 checks. thousand dollar checks uh we'll also talk about senator james lankford from oklahoma pulling a moment where i don't it's just one of the most disingenuous moments of someone knowing what the fuck they were doing and then acting like oh my oh god was that voting to throw out the results of the election was going to disenfranchise i did did. Well, I didn't mean that people of color from the state of Oklahoma. So we'll get into that. We'll talk a little bit, just one last time.

Just talk about the wall because the president is about to be out. We don't have to talk about the wall ever again, but there's a couple of things I just wanted to bring up about the wall before we, before he exits the building. And then we'll also talk about just, there's some developments from that that like story that happened over the break about that remember on there was a flight where someone had needed cpr

mid-flight due to covid okay well there's been like then there there's a few levels of developments that i hadn't realized and we'll talk about that or maybe it'll be old news to you and you can just laugh your way through it but before we get to any of that we gotta ask our guest tori what is something from your search history that is revealing you know about who you are or who you've become or who you are becoming or what pill you're taking yeah i got red pilled you guys um so yeah my search history honestly i've been reading everything that i can about ted cruz and whether or not he can be charged with sedition and thrown out of the senate because he was kind of like my target for um i wanted to make it so that he couldn't run

next 2024 i think is when he's up for reelection yeah something like that um and so i've been like trying to figure out you know what his weaknesses are and like who has dirt on him and so but then he did this thing where you know he basically committed treason so i'm just trying to see like what my options are yeah right for you're doing some cool oppo right now oh hell yeah that's our you, back in the day when I used to do dirt digging for money, I used to have all these like sock puppet Facebook accounts and shit to try and like be friends with their kids and figure out what the fuck they were posting. Yeah.

That was the best way to do it. Yeah. And they're like, yeah, that's so tight, bro. And then you see like party photos and you're like, and then there's really nothing. But it's a waste of time. But yeah, I totally get that. I mean, you think like, yeah, Holly and Cruz, as much as they thought they were making a good move. It's, you know, it seems like the tide is turning.

But at the end of the day, it's so hard to know because there's such little appetite to hold people accountable when you get to that level. I don't know why it's like they're all friends and they don't give a fuck about the people they're representing i remember do you remember um this is this is really old ted cruz gossip and it's not even good but do you remember when everyone was like ted cruz drinks lukewarm soup for lunch every day there was like someone on ted cruz this was like four or five years ago now like back when he was running for president where they're like ted cruz what does he eat on the campaign trail lukewarm soup every fucking day serial killer shit that's my yeah that's absolutely murderers

yeah i feel like you could take like remember the old drake the type sort of memes that they used to do back like eight years ago on the internet he's like drake the type of dude who opened the door for himself and be like why thank you or like drake the type of dude who'd be poopy at the urinal with his pants all the way down um i feel like you could just do ted cruise now and they all hold as well yeah they're probably all factually true yeah yeah oh anyway um so wait so are you gonna run is that what you're saying you're gonna run for senate in texas i'm gonna run for no oh god no i just wanted to make sure i don't want to be one of those people i don't want to sell out i'm from portland i'm from portland come on but you go in and you just you just do like the thing we're like yeah maybe, maybe I'll get voted out, but I'm going to be buck wild while I'm in here.

It's when you pursue re-election when things get dicey. When things get dicey. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we definitely need the primary crews. Let's do that. Yeah. But yeah, I'm just afraid that I would be too tempted by power to keep my personal morality and ethics in place oh wow oh okay

that's good so you know it would it would corrupt you you feel well i don't want i don't want to give it the opportunity to do so because that would right then defeat the entire purpose of like know my life's work yeah absolutely i'll see you know i'm i'm i'm open to it maybe it'll corrupt me who knows okay you know i don't know we'll see what happens i'm open to it Maybe it'll corrupt me Who knows you know I don't know We'll see what happens I'm down to try it We'll come to your house though that's the thing Yeah yeah yeah and I'll be like What are you guys doing

You're friends God just because they like Okayed a massive real estate development Over what could have been affordable housing Just because they gave a massive donation To my re-election campaign. What's wrong with you guys? Literally every time I protest outside a city

counselor's house, they're like, stop! Not even funny! People are trying to sleep! And it's like, yeah, people are trying to live in, like, with, you know, a roof over their head. And you decided to just take the, whatever. That's what i'm saying like

it should be fast and fashionable just to go in there do the right thing but i don't give a fuck you think i'm here to get re-elected bro i'm here to do the fucking work i have thought about i have thought about primarying one of the old white guys who's like in the u.s like oregon u.s senate because they're all democrats except for one right i. I'm like, I can join the squad. But then I'm just like, again, would I lose like my morality? Would I be like, oh, we got to, you know, we got to make these trade-offs. And then it's like, you know, it's a slippery slope. Yeah.

As the right likes to say. I always hear is like my buddy who works in government. He's like, we just need more people of like good conscience to work in the bureaucracy too. He's like, there's so many things that get fucked up because we focus on elected officials. But when it comes down to the people who are like allocating the money and figuring out how to do that, it's a whole other layer of lack of imagination, lack of like purpose. And, you know, he's always like, I'm just saying, saying man i wish you'd say that more like elected office is good but like we also need people who understand what needs to happen to

also work like in for the municipality as well as much as it might be anathema to some people it's like there's a whole other layer of gridlock there too because you got lifers in there who are like oh no i've been here for 40 years not giving a fuck you think i'm gonna start now like imagine your job right any everybody who goes to job you look at like the older higher up senior people to you when you enter like man these motherfuckers don't get it you know i mean every job is like that you're like wait till they're out and i'll get this motherfucker running right um now imagine that for not changing for decades when it comes to the bureaucracy and you're like yeah yeah yeah local government man it's important i feel like we forget that sometimes tori what is something thinks underrated

underrated public health education public health education is what i'm ranting about right now. Extremely hyping on. Imagine if people knew like how vaccines worked. Imagine. Just imagine this world with me where we taught kids in high school how vaccines worked. Just the general stuff. Just the general stuff. If we taught kids like, hey, so we live in a community and that means that like your health affects the people that are around you you mean we live in a society and um so

we truly yeah we we have a man we're like yeah we're very i find my like you realize how these illiteracy points are these blind spots you have like we're financial ill we're very i find my like you realize how these illiteracy points are these blind spots you have like we're financial illiteracy i think is just wildly pervasive for like our generation in general most people overall but like specifically i feel like i'm constantly talking with my friends being like what do i what's the thing for retiring and i'm like bro we're in our mid-30s it's gone it's too late it's too late well we've we've been going we've been living too long not knowing what to do but yeah i feel like with the public health stuff it's also uh quite apparent with vaccine talk

yeah i mean well what sort of public health um did you get? I feel like the closest I ever really got was like sexually transmitted stuff. But outside of that, like we didn't get much in terms of like community health was a totally mysterious concept to me. Like we just learned basically nothing. They were just like, here, hold a basketball and say you have your period so you don't have to actually play like that was my entire health education right you commodified it oh my god oh my god well i mean yeah like also i mean anatomy is also kind of important to teach to kids turns out but you know we have youtube now so nobody has to teach that anymore i was just saying the other day how like love line basically taught me most of the shit i knew about my own body like in the late 90s and shit it took being in my bed like with the earphones on to my radio because you know they're talking that wild sex

shit on k-rock um was how i would hear like just very direct conversation about genitalia, any kind of STD, any kind of like reproductive health question. Whereas before, like, cause I went to, you know, a Lutheran school,

you basically learned how to like, it's like, all right, little girls go in this room, boys go with the creepy football coach and you will take classes on how to just take care of your genitals or something. And that was like the extent of it. It didn't feel very complete.

Right. Yeah. Yep. I also think because there's so many like anti-sex ed crusaders, that if we put it under the umbrella of public health, maybe we could sneak some more effective sex ed in there. Yeah. Or then they was like,

this is why we need to defund public health because they're teaching our kids how to be responsible with their hands and wear a mask. Yeah. Damn. Anyway, defund public health. Yeah. Do it.

And lastly, Tori, what is something you think is overrated? Well, I mean, clearly unity is way overrated unity we all gotta come together you guys you guys what did we do for these last five years that you you think that like we should just come together now what have you been doing like border walls what are

you talking about no like stop trying to soda vision literally please what are you doing i don't what yeah a blaze of gas lighting just like a last truly last point yes that's why that like on wednesday before the insurrection kicked off and this in the senate they wanted to talk about like you know when mitch mcconnell gave his grand like it's over we're gonna i was like i was just tweeting on my gaslight fest 2021 has kicked off in fucking earnest because it was it was so infuriating to have all of these people who have been rah-rah-ing this shit since fucking 2016 and some earlier to now act like they're like and i just you know where have we come and it's really time we move past this disgusting president and you're like i'm like did mick mcconnell have

literally like aaron sorkin do punch up on his shitty fucking speech i was like god damn that whole that whole senate the beginning of that senate meeting I'm like, Aaron Sorkin is at home just stroking his pee-pee on this one. Like, this is such bullshit. What do we do? How do you unify? Who do you want to unify with? Who do we unite? The people who are actively, like, have an articulated, like, plan of of just you know uh presenting themselves as an

existential threat to the other is that what we're supposed to begin like yeah come on in come on in please yeah i'm yeah it's like you've only told us for decades that you want to destroy us so um yeah please join our party actually we're just we're just conservatives in disguise you guys it's fine it's like but hold on but i don't know this this can't be i'm pretty sure you're not here for it you actually stand for nothing except for minority rule of this class of people this group of white america that's really because i don't see anything tangible like a platform that says that would speak to someone who isn't a conservative and be like oh well hold on look what they're doing here with uh with you know uh debt relief or you know uh

rent relief for people during the pandemic oh this is an interesting way to to to cover um like increasing wages for educators oh that's interesting no that's none of that it's like so what the fuck you know it's like this is bullshit y'all are bullshit no sorry no it's it's it's true so true but you know whatever helping people with their rent is communism and i don't know if you know but communism has a death toll and i'm told it's not good by the right that capitalism does not have a death toll so fun facts boy yeah this is what i'm told i'm just you know it might be it might be it might not be real but you know i'm just passing that's good info though i was i i had a feeling like not having access to capital has never caused someone to die please tell me more not that i can tell

that doesn't make sense that doesn't make any sense what like a for-profit health care system and people making seven dollars an hour right like we'll see like we're saying you know i was saying even flippantly at the top of the show like we'll see how many of these painful realizations still have to be made you know like again it was like yeah it took people to watch a slow motion murder on camera to be like oh wow racism in policing and just generally in the country? Huh. Huh. Then it took people storming a Capitol

for then the elites to be like, huh, is this, I thought the extremism stuff was just like, like jokey stuff. Huh. Okay. Maybe we'll do something. Yeah, it really,

it's unfortunate that it takes so much just chaos and pain and violence, you know, before there's even like a sensation that attention has to be drawn in that direction. So yeah. You know when Wall Street has like a harsher reaction than the Senate? Right. You're fucked.

That's what that means. 100%. Well, let's move on and take a break and we'll come back and we'll talk about you know just what's just the state of things see what the covid relief package is going to look like but we'll do that right after this i've been thinking about you i want you back in my life.

How do you feel about biscuits? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. A lion.

An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team?

Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back and joseph r biden he doesn't lie when it comes to when well let me finish when it comes to him saying he wants to reach across the aisle he truly does not lie about that he is 100 percent across he's laying his suit jacket across and like yes please walk all over it over here please uh yeah you know so his you know 1.9 trillion dollar covid relief package rolled out at the end of last week and a lot of people like oh my god wow this is great there is stuff like being in there that people need sure there's also a lot of shortcomings and a lot of deception that i i agree with other people who um are a little who are scratching their head at this on for multiple reasons. Now, again, yes, there is good things in there, like extending the unemployment benefits. Like that was needed, obviously, increasing the three hundred dollar per week to four hundred.

Great evictions. They're saying fifty billion dollars in rent relief, which is great. Fantastic. However, experts say we need about 70 to do this right. To not actually have that fall onto people and completely burden them and bury them. So, okay. That's fine. You got 50 to 70. Maybe you can make that up. Maybe there's time.

Who knows? I don't know. But I just want to point out this $2,000 check thing. I just want to point out this $2,000 check thing, because if you paid attention the last few weeks, $2,000 checks has been like the fucking menu item everyone's been looking at. And even Donald Trump managed to be like, yep, 2K. That was a wild day. That was a wild day. Yeah. I mean, well, both candidates inia were running on the two thousand dollar

stimulant like everyone was talking two thousand dollars and now all of a sudden it's this cute little addition problem yeah it's so okay i know i said two thousand i know i joseph r biden came even myself came to george and said hey uh black people help me get Ossoff and Warnock in here, and I'm cutting $2,000 checks fucking on the 20th at 1201, family. It's on. Cut to the Senate. It's been flipped. They've delivered the two senators, and now we're seeing $1,400 checks.

Now you're saying, Jamie, $1,400. Okay, I know I said $2,000, but hold on, hold on, hold on. Okay. So where's the $2,000? Okay, let me finish, okay? Okay. In December, how much was the checks that they approved in December? How much was that numerically?

They were $600. Okay, and I said how much I'm going to give people. You said you were going to give us $2,000 on January 20th. Okay, hold on, hold on. But what And I said, how much I'm going to give people? You said you were going to give us 2000 on January 20th. Hold on. Hold on. But what am I saying now? What's the check I'm cutting? But the checks I'm cutting now. You said they're going to be 1400. Okay. 1400 plus 600 equals. I don't think that's relevant to what we're talking about. Well, you've got to add on january 20 i have to add well you didn't see when i said two thousand dollars i i actually there was somebody behind me holding up an asterisk on a on a fucking placard uh that's a terms and conditions short i didn't see it oh yeah they're

taxing the two thousand dollars that's all it is you just have to pay taxes yeah yeah that's oh my god so we're looking at a thing where yes two thousand dollars was dangled in front of people and now we're doing the thing of like oh well what i meant was 600 from december that most of people a lot of people have got and then 1400 that's already we're beginning this slippery slope of bullshit um which isn't a surprise this is why you know i think a lot of people were going into this or like no one's expecting joe biden to actually deliver on any of this shit sadly but all we all we have is the opportunity just to delay you know the nonsense we saw from

january 6th from becoming like totally every day a lot of of things is like, right, it's a, the package is 1.9. So it's under the 2 trillion that apparently Republicans had such a hard time dealing with. So you figure, okay, so by kneecap in the 2000 to 1400, you've managed to bring that cost down to make it palatable for Republicans.

But my question is, these people were just rah-rah-ing the insurrection. The GOP is now a sedition party, and you still want to give them a seat at the table and act as if any objection they would have is valid? That's where I'm now. Like, what? What? Mere days after still promising 2002. Like, doesn't i don't know it makes me like you're totally right that no one actually expects him to come through with absolutely anything that

he promised but the bar is so at like below the floor like several layers deep into the crust of the earth for this administration and i I know that it's like, I'm glad people are pissed off about it because I know people are running out of energy for things to allocate. Yeah. Pissed off about, but it's ridiculous. It's like, I mean, everyone's posting two tweets

from Joe Biden made two, like three to four days apart where he flips on the promise in real time. And it's like yeah you can't it's you know he he finds enough money to like to to do all his shit like there's no reason that he can't keep this one promise it's also terrible optics for that administration like i don't think that they actually truly give a fuck about people in a meaningful way but even just from a pr standpoint this is like an extremely like short-sighted ridiculous thing to do like i just don't how like how not smart do they think we are apparently ridiculously not smart or they

completely are out of touch with what people are needing right now you know more than that that it's like well it's 1400 i think they they do know though it's like they know they know that they're not giving people enough but wasn't that that tweet that was going around last month of like 600 is what rich people think poor people think is a lot of money right yeah they're like they're still gonna like this is still a lot of money right yeah they're like they're still gonna like this is still a lot of money for yeah exactly i think it ends there without being like what that difference is when you have a child with special needs or you have a child or maybe a parent you tell a relative or a partner like things vary they vary for different people. And to act like $600,

it's truly gonna mean the difference, unfortunately, between life and death. I assume just based on how the pandemic's panning out, how just everything we're seeing in the, and even, you know, that viral video, unfortunate viral video of that mother who was like sobbing about how she couldn't afford insulin, which is unfortunately very normal and tragically normal. That was happening before the pandemic.

Yeah. But $600, do you want to fucking go back on that? I think that's what's ridiculous. And, you know, you see some, there's like, you know, some Biden stans coming out in the media, whether it's people being like, wow, really impressed, like just completely blowing past the fact that he said 2000 and now it's 1400 to just be like, this is so great, blah, blah, blah. There's something, there's like a Jezebel article is like, I can't believe I'm Yasqueening Joe Biden. And to your point, Jamie, that's how low the bar is. It's like, well, hold on. You're only Yasqueening Joe Biden because the bar is like subterranean at the moment and there's no

it's just because you saw the top of his bald head coming out the dirt you're like oh there he is he's done it wow yeah yeah i mean it's it's just not a good time to like start licking that boot like why why right now would you be inclined to lick a boot for someone who is not even giving you what he promised three days ago like yeah yeah yeah and and people are so i mean it's like everyone you know i know that everyone is desperate for him to be the president so that the current president is not the president that doesn't mean that uh we have to lick this man's boot we don't and i ugh i just and you won't me have and i won't yeah i mean it's again a lot of people you know the other more you know establishment logic or i was like well you you got to see what you can pass you got to see what you can pass and we look joe biden knows he

went through the same exercise in the great Recession when he was the vice president. And they tried to pass a stimulus bill that economists are like seven. That's that's not even 800 billion. The fuck you going to do with that? And like we stimulate the economy. Fuck you will. That's nothing. I'm telling you, I'm a fucking economy. This us, the group of people you consulted with said that's nothing are you i'm telling you i'm a fucking econ this us the group of people you consulted with said that is not enough money and then they say well we can't get republicans to agree okay then but that isn't enough so what the and it kicked off a very slow recovery because of that and we're we're looking down the exact like not the exact same but we're

in a very similar situation where we have experts saying it's a lot of money, but unfortunately this is what it's going to take if you want to take care of American citizens. And based on the other things I'm seeing, billionaires did fine. So I think you might have some money you can come and collect, scrape up a little bit to offset a little bit of this, but here we are. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I think that what is, what's so fascinating about all of this, right. Is that the, the, the extra unemployment is really what kept the economy from tanking like back in April and May. Right. Because people still had, people still had the ability to buy the things that they needed, right? And so

I think to say, even though it's like, oh, well, it's $600 and maybe that's a ton of money to some people and maybe it's not, I don't really know. Some people don't deserve it, quote unquote, right? That's always the argument on the right. It's like, well, rich people don't deserve $2,000, but it worked, right? It worked to give people the extra money it worked it kept our economy from bottoming out you know and if we just added that to like taxing jeff bezos like maybe we could break even yeah yeah but i mean it's funny because these billionaires spend it's cheaper for them to literally weaponize the ignorance of people on the right to try and storm a capital than pay their taxes like for real you know i mean the long run is cheaper for me to throw all this money

like dark money pack money um into fucking around with governance than to actually pay taxes that's kind of the trade-off here like they do that because that's the way they can keep shit like so that's another just hopeful an element that i think will hopefully be brought to light with the mainstream media when if you know if these investigations are actually going to truly begin revealing the sources of how a lot of these people are funded um and you know the platform that this money is creating so i don't know just something to keep your eye on but we see you joe if you say 2000 it has to be too i don't know i don't know any context you can say that and it'd be okay like i'm trying to even find

the elasticity in my logic to be like oh okay if you said you're gonna like unless you're saying i'm gonna give you i'm gonna get you that other 600 in a couple weeks right right okay break it up yeah that might okay i understand that but don't be like oh man you remember in fifth grade i gave you five bucks that time and then you didn't give me the change back i think there was two there so that's a deduction actually so add that to it and you're like what i gave you a 20 dollar bill and you said you would pay me back and now we're talking about past month no no yeah um and if you wouldn't accept that in your personal life you know you damn sure you shouldn't expect that or accept that uh from a president who is trying to get your vote like but yeah lessons being learned let's move on

i don't know i mean that's why it's like exhausting slowly just being run over by a truck but it's only it's only running over your toe right now so you're just like and then when it gets to like your chin you're like oh no no no no no no no um okay so let's talk about james lankford he is a senator from oklahoma and you know i think he's a good example of like a broader discussion of how politicians on the right or conservatives like will never accept how their ideology and policies over the last century or so have just been an actual manifestation of white supremacy um because it's it's because it's just like well i'm not racist i just think the election was stolen or this has

nothing to do with race you know what i mean because whether they are because they are so ignorant that they cannot see the complexity of what they're? Because whether they are, because they are so ignorant that they cannot see the complexity of what they're caught in, or they are just, just that willfully racist and are like, oh yeah, but I'm going to be a little deceptive about it and use these little word games to dance my way out of actually saying, oh yeah, yeah, I'm, I'm old school. I don't think, I don't think black and brown people or anybody who's not of my certain culture to prosper. So James Lankford, I think, is a good example because he's doing the thing where he's pretending like he doesn't know what any of this is. He signed on at first to that sedition caucus letter to be like, you know, I'm going to be one of the senators who's going to fucking try and reverse the course of this election.

And I will use my vote to do that. And then once the shit went down, he reversed course. He was one of the few people who was like, okay, that was a little too much. A little too much. Okay. I think even for me, that was a bridge too far, which is interesting. Yeah. So even though he tried to, at the last minute, find his spirit

and soul, a lot of people were like, I don't think you can escape this, especially the black people of Oklahoma. They were very upset as a lot of just Oklahomans were as well, just realizing what their Senator was participating in essentially making like, you know, as, as much as he wants to say, we just got to make sure the election was fair or we have to restore the people's faith in elections it was just about making sure that minority rule was still effective you know because for a lot of these people watching georgia go full blue face bust down tatiana uh without protesters and violence and things like that and it just simply off the strength of you know people of color getting like maneuvering out maneuvering voter suppression

that was shocking they're like wait we have all this shit set up so we can keep it at least grid locked but now that it's happening it's like there's a bit a sense of panic because that is starting to erode the effectiveness of that is starting to erode. The effectiveness of that is starting to erode as more people are also starting to be like, oh, I have voting power. So this was all about taking away the votes of these marginalized people. So because of the pressure he was under from people being disgusted with his vote, he puts out this sort of deflective, you know, I didn't realize what was going on letter. sort of deflective, you know, I didn't realize what was going on letter. Quote, what I did not realize was of all of the national conversation about states like Georgia,

Pennsylvania, and Michigan was seen as casting doubt on the validity of votes coming out of predominantly black communities like Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Detroit. After decades of fighting for voting rights, many black friends in Oklahoma saw this as a direct attack on their right to vote for their vote to matter. and even a belief that their votes made an election in our country illegitimate. I can assure you, my intent to give a voice to Oklahomans who had questions was never also an intent to diminish the voice of any Black American. I should have recognized how what I said and what I did could be interpreted by many of you. I deeply regret my blindness to that perception.

And for that, I am sorry. The Tulsa massacre is a hundred years old this year. I'm so sorry that you feel that way. Yeah. That's what he said is I'm sorry. You feel that way. Yeah.

That's what that apology was. I'm sorry that you saw that for that but i'm gonna say it's not um somebody smell gas what was going on it's uh i'm just curious what this blind spot like do you think you know even tori in your work encountering interacting with all kinds of people ideologies and, what the split is of people who are like, you know, actual, truly out here to ride for racism and the ones that are so ignorant and caught up in this like team sports mentality that they just can't budge from beginning to see any nuance of anything. I don't know. I'm always trying to figure out what the, what it is.

With US senators. Like, no, that's all bullshit. You know exactly what you were doing. Like, I'm like, okay,

no, no, no, no. Cause you're the smartest racist. Yeah, exactly. You know,

it really, really depends. I think it varies a lot from, from place to place. Especially, I think that there, you know, Oregon kind of has this reputation as being like wildly progressive and it's

not right. Like we've got, we have plenty of people here who want to disenfranchise people. And, you know, even people like on the East side of the state, they're like, well, you're not voting the way that we want and we should be able to be in charge even though there's fewer people here. So we're just going to go join Idaho. Like that's not how this works right yeah but i mean i think it really just kind of depends but there are definitely i think the people like the higher up you get the more people are they know what they're doing yeah right of course right like the like it's it's i would say

people kind of like on the lower end of the socioeconomic ladder. Right. The people that are used by the white people that are used by powerful people to like oppress through the oppression work for them so they don't have to get their hands dirty. Like, I don't think that most of them know explicitly. Right. I think if if you sat down with them, you might be able to get them to a point where they're like, oh, see what you're saying like i see how this adds up i disagree with you still and i still i you know these are still my values because i see like the one thing especially in looking at like you know a lot of right-wing chatter on the internet and just seeing how that conversation is going a lot of them have arrived to the point of just saying uh well every if if we don't agree with them we're racist right you know what i mean and that's yeah and like and everything's white supremacy because it is but it's almost like how do you talk to someone who you're like you know it's like it was like it's like intervening with someone sometimes you say drinking problem and it's like the alarm like they that can't be heard or whatever it is.

Yeah. It's like a shutdown. And so no meaningful communication can occur at that point. And I'm also curious, like, is there because I also understand it for them there. They've completely been robbed of any context nuance that to them is just saying everything they say is just that what it isn't because i'm not i've never participated in a lynch mob or i've never said this so like that's just getting fired up without like so i'm that's why i'm always just like i don't even know how a corner can begin begin to be turned if i don't and then it's almost like and i'm not trying to coddle racist people but i'm like is there another way that it has to be explained to even begin for something to like thaw or begin to melt but i don't know that's why i'm just like

yeah i'm not really sure because it's like we do i mean working class white people and working class people of color have so much to make common cause over right like they deal with so many of the same issues they both have a government that doesn't give a fuck about them. Um, and like their needs and how they're going to pay their bills and get healthcare. Right. So it, I think that I don't think that they're going to hear it from people of color. Right. I really don't. Right. And they don't, they feel very sensitive. I think fairly, um, about being talked down to and, and like condescended to because they feel like rich people already do that to them. And so I think that that was kind of, I think that was like a big part of why they rallied behind Trump was they were

like, Oh, he's going to be a bully for us. Right. Like he's going to throw people around for us. And so, yeah, I mean, I think that there are conversations that can be had, but I don't think that those conversations starting out like that. I think that's why people work essentially. It's like, hey, look, like we're all getting screwed over if we all just work together on this one issue. Right. And that's what's been most effective, like at least in the research that I've seen in the US is that, you know, you don't have to do like the party thing. Just find a bunch of people who are affected by one single issue and make that the thing that you focus on everybody on board with whatever it is

right like labor rights or minimum wage or you know health care access and you just focus on that one thing that that can actually get people to work together um as opposed to being like well you just need to be a leftist right or you Or you need to be more progressive. Or you're just... Or conservative or whatever. Right. Because it's like you're... What they hear is you're too stupid to know what's best for you. And while we do...

I mean, I do believe that they're voting against their own self-interest, right? I think that we also have to engage with the fact that if you feel like someone has said to you, well, you're stupid, but actually sit down because I need to tell you what's what. Like people aren't really going to go for that. I think that there has to be, um, I think it's, yeah, I think it's white people work. I think that those conversations had to be had. And I don't know that again, it's going to be like a political party thing, but I think on issues you can get people who would identify as conservative to like make common cause right with more progressive ideas because like that anger of not having shit or feeling like your bills are adding up or

whatever is being re projected onto this like fucking schumer shit and then like at a certain point like it's gonna hollow you out because you can own without actually addressing your material needs that potentially could be solved through better policy. Right. Right. And a lot of it, too, is they see they're like, well, you know, minorities don't deserve assistance. Right. And like, why should they be able to cut in line? I mean, this is going to be the exact same thing with the COVID vaccine. Like, well, how come those people get to cut in line? Like, what are they more important than me? So I think, you know, there's very much that attitude of like, well, like undocumented people, that's not what they say, or stealing all of our healthcare. So I'm opposed to universal healthcare because I don't want illegals to have it. Like that's, that's an argument. That's a very common argument.

Right. And it's one of those things where you have to explain, it's like, this isn't, it's not zero sum. Like healthcare isn't, just because someone who is undocumented gets healthcare doesn't mean you don't also get healthcare. Right, exactly. So, I mean, yeah, I think if you make it about the issue, like a specific issue, instead of about politics, you get a lot farther with that.

I think it's just got to just gotta be gotta say everything for everyone that's all i'm honest you know what i mean like because it's true that's why i'm like it's this team sport shit the second it's attached to this person's a democrat this person because it happens it's all over the place i mean yes like it's but this is what it is you know like because this is everyone's retreating to their corners. But yeah, I feel like if there is a way to just speak to the human exist, your condition, the existence, the lived experience of being a person, being like, more food. You know what I mean? Fucking free food.

What? Free food? Yeah, fuck yeah. For who? For who? Anybody. You need food? Come through, bro. I got it. We got it for you. What do you need? What you need? What you need? We got it. What you need? We got it, party. You know what I mean? And you'd hope. But again, because it's a zero sum game, it's almost like that conservatives look at even generosity as still being like, well, it's finite.

being like well it's finite right you know there's no possible that's what they're told by their political leaders quote unquote is that if other people get some that's less for you yeah and so we're not going to give anybody anything like that's the that's the part they don't say is like okay so like he's ignoring all the massive wealth hoarding they're like oh don't look at all this wealth hoarding happening over here. It's the same conversation anybody has. Most people, I think everybody has if they ever ask for a raise at their job. Well, you know, if we did that then, or I just got to see there's just not enough right now. You know what I mean? And if you were talking to a CEO, they're not having those conversations.

We'd be like, well, could they make less? And then wouldn't that create the money? Isn't that a way to, to do that for me? Oh, well,

first of all, what the, shut the fuck up. We're never going to do that. Which is sort of like where we're at. Like we don't even have the imagination as a nation to be like, yeah, but what about you though?

You got it. You got it. Yeah yeah so run your shit you know what i mean because we don't got it because because we're tired of being told hey uh you know if uh you know because if i do that then this guy is gonna want eyes for their kid and then the other person wants a neck brace you know it's like you know fuck that but you live in a fucking golden whatever the fuck uh you know it's yeah what we hope the discourse can begin to like more people have that imagination to be like it's all the things are possible it's just that like we got to stop acting like you want elon musk to have you know 11 billion dollars and that's like his right to do that

or you know jeff bays any of these fucking people it's just that those graphs showing how how these billionaires made out over the last year like would i don't know how you look at that and think that's cool good for him that's cool yeah like that's cool that's cool that the people who already had more money than they could ever spend in their lives um like are doubling their their net worth or adding increasing it by 40 30 yeah and and then look at what's happening because it's true they're drinking our fucking milkshake okay that's what it is they're drinking our fucking milkshake from all the way across the room in their mansions and then we're still over here fighting each other not realizing like actually you're drinking the milkshake motherfucker they're

drinking the milkshake over there the billionaires are they've been there out there they're fucking drinking so much of it they got us out here milkshake yeah pointing fingers at each other when no one has the ability to drink the milkshake anyway this paul thomas this paul thomas anderson metaphor brought to you by a stoner bro you know god hey look i gotta give it up for my valley brethren uh okay let's also just one last thing before we get on head on out i just want to talk about the border wall um because trump went there last week um as part of like his you know goodbye to her i don't understand like what that even was about hi impeach him remove him so he can't pardon any more people how about that and you might make your investigations more effect i don't whatever what

the fuck do i know i'm just watching everybody get crushed in slow motion so you know what this this wall cost 15 billion dollars about taxpayer of taxpayer money roughly 400 miles um which is okay fine um it i mean he only built 80 miles of wall where there was nothing there before so think about about that. Of the 400 miles, it was reinforced. Only 80 new, and it cost $15 billion. You know how much money the administration was initially investing into vaccines?

$12 billion. Jesus fuck. That's the initial outlay. So even when you compare it, we were, again, like you're saying, uh, Tory investing in physical manifestations of division rather than, you know, putting that into vaccines. Not that he knew, I mean, not that the president could have known there was going to be a pandemic when that money was being spent, but just to give you an idea of what $15 billion looks like to a

politician, to a wall? Sure. COVID? Let's not get to $15. Maybe do $12. We'll see. We'll see what works. And the other thing is a lot of roads were being made to make the construction. Yeah, to get to the border. You have to make a road to get to the border.

To get to the wall. To build the wall. What? Just so you know. Yes. It's blasting through mountains and ravines to create access roads for the wall. To build the wall. What? Just so you know. Yes. Blasting through mountains and ravines to create access roads for the machinery. Those roads are now being used for migration. Oh, hell yeah.

Not that I'm saying it's a problem, but I'm just saying like, bless you, sir, for self. You actually made it easy. You manifest it. Yeah. So. Holy shit. My brain is collapsing. Wow.

Yeah. That was just one of the few things I was like, just everything's a self-own. You know what I mean? Yeah. In the name of trying to do what they felt was right, which is really just cruel, barbaric shit. You ended up making a nice path there. So kudos. Oh, wow. One more day, huh? One more day huh one more day i have i brought one more day and it's all

over if you ever if you watched any late night hosts the other week they're like guys fucking exhausting i'm like did you can't wait can't wait um i brought my fun story okay let's do that after the break i've been thinking about you i want you back in my life it's too late for that i have a proposal for you come up here and document my project all you need to do is record everything like you always do.

I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? I mean, the Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. They lying. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch is a leader. You choose hills that you want to die on.

Just, you know what? Listen to the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. Jamie, do you have a fun story to talk about? I feel like everything's been a bummer.

You got something good? I don't know if this is... Warm my my heart i genuinely struggled to find a fun no i hear you i uh i found any i found an interesting i settled for an interesting i like it it's going back to the uh the tom cruise covet 19 on the set of mission Impossible. Do you remember that? What do you mean? I think last month Tom Cruise had one of his famous

little outbursts. But it was for once not to recruit people to Scientology. It was to get people to wear masks to fight COVID-19. My theory is not because he actually cares, but because he needs to live forever, and so he needs everyone around

him, you know, doing the ghost protocol. Oh, to be on that wellness journey with him? Exactly. Now, as of this week, Tom Cruise reportedly buys robots to enforce COVID-19 safety on film set.

Wait. Hold on. Please explain. I have to just stop. That's the headline? That's the headline. It's on page six, so grain of salt. But he has allegedly bought COVID bots.

Co-bots. To just patrol the set he's making a bunch of robocops to make sure that uh covid19 does not spread on the set of mission impossible 7 allegedly at his own expense so it someone's a source said tom is so serious about making sure the shoot isn't shut down that he's splashed out on these robots as he can't be everywhere to ensure people are behaving themselves. So he has a full on Big Brother surveillance system on the set of Mission Impossible. So if you so much as take your mask down for a sip of iced coffee. I don't know.

I don't know what the what the robot does if it just starts like going like this in a video camera or like I don't know. Is there someone sitting like on the other end of the screen? Like me? Like, Hey motherfucker, put your mask over your nose. I guess it's a, it's a, it's a robot and they're patrolling and they have cameras. And if you're not wearing a mask, I don't know if it just like text Tom Cruise. I don't know who, what it does. If you, if you.

He's got to have someone watching the cameras then like live. He's got to have someone watching cameras live. Otherwise, like what difference does it make it isn't he being in the movie isn't he right that's so fucked up it's it was just dude robots robots that are like monitoring the laborers to make sure they don't fuck up boss's bag is like the laborers to make sure they don't fuck up boss's bag is like wow like we're there it's like i've got these robo pinkertons i've hired to club the shit out of you for putting my insurance at risk for this production that's uh that's the first because he got like a lot of positive press attention for screaming at two um crew laborers for not wearing masks which is like fair enough but did you hear the the quote that he did was like scary he was like if i see

you do this again you're fucking gone and it was because they were standing too close together it wasn't even like i don't know i feel like he's he's taking this to a place of like, let me punish the crew who makes like 0.001% of what I do instead of like, let me. Like he's in a position where he could maybe, you know, pressure the industry he works in to have, you know, provide what people need to be safe about it instead of screaming at individuals. But the point is he got robots his solution was robots what the fuck i it's great you know sure i had to laugh i had to bought it up okay tom cruise is has purchased a fleet of z news do we know what it costs do you know what that costs it's's just so funny. Again, like, the costs that the wealthy will incur to, like,

solve a problem that could probably be done a completely other way, but you'd rather just be like, nah, fuck that. Like, how do I just club these people with robots? How do I scare the shit out of them? Rather than maybe, like, invest that more into more safety on the set.

How can I protect the crew versus how can I punish the crew for not protecting me carefully enough? Maybe he's projecting because I know he did leave the set to go spend some time with his son, Connor, who's a DJ. So who knows?

Maybe he had a rough time with his son trying to be cool and like his son's like wait a second he's like dad that's not that's not trap step and he's like oh no and then he's like fuck it i'm getting robots fuck you like i don't know he's got a he's got a dj son i thought i kept really careful track of which celebrities had dj sons i didn't know tom cruise oh yes oh yes i knew ryan philippe had a DJ son. Yes. Oh. Yes. I knew Ryan Phillippe had a DJ son. I definitely knew Tom Hanks had a DJ son. What's the city that they run out in Florida?

Is that St. Petersburg? Maybe. I don't know. Wait, hold on. Someone tell me in the chat. Scientology. Yeah, Deacon Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon, andyan philippi's son he's a clear water dj uh yes in clear water but like you know he like there's just some sick photos of him like boat

djing and shit no yeah why wouldn't you you know what i mean i guess so is dj just the easiest job like i just don't under like it's every select as dj daniel that's true that job? I just don't understand. That's DJ Daniel. That's true. I just don't get it. It is the go-to nepotism job. Is it nepotism? It's not like your dad's DJ so you just

fell into it. But your status, right? He has status from his dad. Yeah. He can enter with an audience at the top. And the reason with DJing is, too, is, like, you can fucking pull some... You can fuck around. There's fuckery involved.

You can just have someone completely mix the set for you, and you get up there, and you press play, and you just start pantomiming all the shit you see on YouTube that you think DJ should be doing. you know what i mean like oh i'm twisting this knob and my hands in the air and then like but it's all recorded you know what i mean so and then that allows people to who aren't djs to be like oh i'm djing here tonight or whatever right and then there's no skill involved you just be like i'm standing in front of a laptop turning knobs for a couple hours to a pre-mix set. And I'm going to call that DJing. Like, motherfuckers out here actually doing that.

So there are real. I'm not saying that DJ as a full job is a fake thing. I'm saying the way celebrities' children do it is plugging in an iPhone and screaming for three hours. Oh, yeah. Look, if you're out here. Look, I'm old school if you're out here fucking lugging around milk crates of vinyl and you're setting up your heavy ass direct drive techniques 1200 you know mark whatever you know and your proper vest tax mixer and you got

in the coffin case and that's like and plus you got to bring an amp and fucking speakers and all that shit uh okay that shit. Okay. That shit is difficult. I remember having them. But, you know, it was a long time. It was a long time. Anyway. DJ Daniels.

Talk to his robots. Shouting out the lingo in the chat. You know, all my DJs know. But, yeah. Connor Cruz, if you're interested, at the Connor Cruz on Instagram. Wow. If we want to harass him or like just tell him check out his fucking lifestyle dude he clearly fucks with kobe bryant and uh
