For February 2nd, 2018, my name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. A little less conversation, a little more objection. Courtesy of Carrico Sarah.

And I'm joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. That's right, it's Miles, as in the distance from which I can see through Devin Nunes' bullshit gray. Thank you for that fire, a.k.a. moderate science or moderate science. Either one, you call yourself Dave on Twitter, so shout out to you for that a.k.a. What up, Dave? Yeah. And we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat today by the hilarious Louis Katz. Hey, what's up?

Thanks for having me. Hey. Thanks for being here, man. We just found out we're both from the Valley. Yeah. Or he went to school in the Valley. Yes. But I'm from the Valley, but he's from the other side.

Valley roots. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Got a winning course into our lives louis what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are as a human being uh i was found yesterday and i didn't even realize when i woke up this morning but i guess around 2 a.m i was googling waterproof microphones okay uh i'm considering doing a stand-up show in a pool okay and i'm at that

point where how much does it cost? You can only get the headset kind. I guess if you're going to train a killer whale or something like that. Oh, right. Like the SeaWorld mic. Yeah. And I was like, how can I get a handheld mic? I'm going to do a stand-up show like an idiot in a pool.

And no one has that because it's a bad idea. Yeah. Right. Wait. So your idea for this, you are in the water? Well, actually, I'm doing a show on February 14th on the roof of the Ace Hotel. Oh, yeah, yeah. And they have a little pool there that's right next to it.

So I'm like, there's this pool right here. Like a wading pool? Or are you going to have to be treading water the whole time? Tremendous strength. It's only comedians who also do water polo can do this show. Right, right. But yeah, it's like a shallow pool. It's barely a pool.

Yeah. If you've been to the Ace, it's like this. It's like they want to have a pool, so they have a quote-unquote pool. It's a glorified puddle for people to take Instagram photos in. Yeah. Yes. Basically, it's just a grabbable pool. But I mean, it's just right next to the stage.

What you need to do is just rock the headset and then just have a prop stick mic so you have the feel of using the regular mic, but clearly you're getting the amplification through the safer version i don't know look i think those headsets look goofy for a stand-up you know what i mean it looks like i'm i don't know you're doing a ted talk yeah ted talk or like there's some kind of fancy choreography coming there's nothing there's no choreography coming so yeah so yeah that was it i don't know if i'll buy one but i'm looking into it how much are there i found one stick one that was like a thousand bucks. I'm like, I guess I'm not going to do a show in the pool.

That's what I realized. Fuck it. I'll just talk real loud. Yeah. Louie, what is something you think is underrated? Soup. Yes. Louie, what is something you think is overrated?

No. Enough said. Moving on. That's right. You heard that shit. Which favorite soup? Oh, man. There's so many soups.

So many good soups. I'd have to say lentil is my favorite soup. I don't know. That is a meal. That is a meal and a soup. It's hearty. It's hearty. Yeah, lentil.

I like ramen. I like chicken. Man, I like so many soups. My girlfriend doesn't like soup. Wow. Oh, okay. I find that problematic, so I just want to say how good soup is. What do you think of bisques?

Do you need something in your soup, or can you do just like a ground up sort of i'll go bisque you'll go bisque i'll go i'll go gazpacho if i have to right wow gazpacho is where i draw the line because i i like salsa yeah uh just eating it with a spoon out of a bowl no yeah can't do it cannot do it uh lou, what is something you think is overrated? Mardi Gras. Oh. It's timely, and I'm just thinking about it. I went the last two years.

Wow, two years. You gave it two chances. I gave it two chances. This is a well-formed opinion. I've done things that people really love, and I've also don't. I mean, I went to the World Cup. Wasn't into it. Wait, which World Cup did you go to?

I went to the last one in Brazil. Oh, you did? Yeah.. Wasn't into it. Wait, which World Cup did you go to? I went to the last one in Brazil. Oh, you did? Yeah. You didn't like it? It's just like I said, this is the most expensive way to find out I definitely don't like soccer. Now I'm sure. Yeah, that's not a good – yeah. If you're on the fence, go to the World Cup.

We'll definitely let you know. Yeah. What games did you see? I saw one game in – I was in Rio, so I saw – I forget the game. I feel like there was French people there or Germans there. It was like – it just – here's the thing is that like the whole thing where there's only like one goal or two goals. So you have to watch so intently. And like at one point, I just had to pee.

I'm like I have to pee at this point. And I go to pee. I'm in the stall. I hear – I'm like, oh, I missed the one thing I was here to see I mean you know and it's just I don't know I just couldn't get into it

man but those 90 minutes man it's tense baby everything matters that's why I'm a huge I'm a huge football fan so I love I love the World Cup I just like to

don't you like to look like not look at the field for half a second you know what I'm saying because the difference is like in America you have to watch so many fucking commercials

that I'd rather just do a 90 minute focus fest and just be like, oh, I'm out of here. Good. Boom. Then like, oh, another TV timeout or commercial break. Oh, man. But the commercial is the best part of the Super Bowl. Am I right, guys?

Well, that's the Super Bowl. I can't wait for those Super Bowl commercials. What do you have to win in the Puppy Bowl? The sloth. Isn't there a sloth this year or some shit? Is that right? Yeah. I think like because, you know, clearly.

Well, no. It's like the Puppy Bowl and then there's going to be a random fucking sloth, year or some shit? Is that right? Yeah. I think like, because, you know, clearly. Well, no, it's like the puppy bull. And then there's gonna be a random fucking sloth, I think, in the background. Because they just need as many force multipliers as possible. That's got to be against regulations. Yeah. Well, and also because NFL football has gotten more and more dangerous, the faster and stronger the athletes have gotten. So the safest animal that you could play football with would be a sloth, right?

Yeah. There is no CTE. And that's science. But back – I'm sorry. We got sidetracked because we were talking about soccer. In terms of Mardi Gras, what is it that you think people take or put too much stock in or what was it to you that you said, you know what? It's fine.

I've been twice. It's like what? It's crowded. I'm supposed to get – it's like so the whole thing with like women showing their breasts and getting beads, like that doesn't really happen that much. There's like one part of the street where that happens. Right. Instead, you – everyone just stands on the street and they have parades go by and I'm supposed to get excited about catching beads. I don't give a shit about beads.

I don't need beads. Right, right. There's just some guy dressed as this weird clown on a truck and I'm supposed to be excited that he throws a plastic trinket at me. I don't care. I thought you said, I'm just a weird guy dressed as a clown on a truck. I was like, well, there's your problem. Well, no, that's the other thing. I mean, I wish I could be – if I was on a truck, that would be nice.

I'm just standing there. Yeah. You want to be the bead thrower, not the bead receiver. Yeah, I'm just wearing – I'm wearing a wig. I got makeup on, and someone's throwing beads at me. I'm like, what am I doing here? I don't – And you're drinking out of a hand grenade-shaped cup.

Right. I would say New Orleans on – during non-Mardi Gras is pretty dope. Phenomenal. I love New Orleans. Like Hannibal's bit about how you can just get a parade is – It's true. You can just rent a parade for a reasonable amount of money. Oh, yeah.

And you're just followed around by a parade for the rest of the day. I mean just a second line like that. Just when you're there on a random day and you see a second line, you just join in. Like, yeah. That's great. But this, with all the people, I don't need that. And also, like, on Mardi Gras Day, you're supposed to wake up at, like, at six and start drinking.

Like, why am I waking up early to party? That's the opposite of how you party. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Party when you want to. That's right. It's an Eddie Murphy song, I think, right?

No. Party all the time. Party all the time. Yeah, Yeah. Party when you want to. Right. It's an Eddie Murphy song, I think, right? No. Party all the time. Party all the time. I love to party all the time. Party only when it's convenient. Party when it's convenient. All right. We are trying to take a sample of what people are talking and thinking about right now at this very moment.

And the way we like to open up is by asking our guests, what is a myth? What is something people believe that you, based on your personal experience, know to not be true? That Jews control the media. Okay. And how do you know that not to be true? My career. All right. Go on.

If Jews control the media, I would just go to the meetings and be like, hey, guys, I could use a little more work. Yeah. And then I would be like, hey, guys, I could use a little more work. And then – Hey, baby, I'm tribe too. I'm trying to get a pilot. So what's good? Hook it up. I haven't been able to do that.

Although once – it's funny. My mom – I'm sure it's every kind of family, but it's maybe especially Jewish moms. All my relatives are like, I have one connection. At one point, my rabbi writes to my mom and says he could hook me up with – oh, Howie Mandel. He's like, I can hook you up with Howie Mandel. Not the comedian, but Will Ferrell's wife's gynecologist. That's his connection. And I'm like, I don't think that's going to help me at all.

Wow. I don't know. He's also named Howie Mandel. You're like, oh, cool. No, no, no. Howie Mandel, OBGYN. Right. He's also named Howard Mandel. You're like, oh, cool. No, no, no. Howie Mandel, O-B-G-Y-N. Right. He's connected.

Haven't put in a good word. I'm sure that would be seen as totally appropriate by Will Ferrell's way. Yeah. Well, I have you here. Mid-exam. All right. Let's get into the events of the day, we will obviously be talking about the memo, but we'll save that for the second sort of longer part. Let's get into Black History Month.

It is Black History Month. Happy Black History Month, everyone. And, yeah, what are some Black History Month stories? God damn. You know, Black History Month is starting off – I mean, look. God damn. You know, Black History Month is starting off – I mean, look. The shit I'm already reading, for starters, just found out there is like a Facebook group who is trying to tank the Rotten Tomatoes score of the Black Panther movie.

There is a group called – the event itself is called Give Black Panther a Rotten Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes. And there's like 3,700 participants. Wow. And the event is basically like wanting to get the participants obviously to tank the score but also like make – like distribute massive spoilers because they have like – they hate Marvel fanboys and like they want DC fans to like give their own reviews. So it's like this DC thing against Marvel. But then you get into it, this I think blog Inverse. Then you get into it, this, I think, blog Inverse. They reportedly spoke to the person who said they are leading the group. And he said that the movement is to protest Disney's supposed efforts to, quote, shove SJW messages down our throats.

SJW being social justice warrior. Exactly. Right. And also adding that minorities should stay that way. Uh-huh. So, yeah. Yeah. Know your place, minorities. Uh-huh. So, yeah. Know your place, minorities. Yeah, exactly.

So clearly it's not a DC Marvel thing. Yeah, not at all. How do they not know they're the bad guy? Or are they just into the fact that they're the bad guy? I don't know. I don't know. I mean, on one hand it's scary, and on the other hand, this is such a step down for racism. We're going to give you bad reviews for your movie. It's like whatever happened to burning a cross or right you know what i mean they're not about that life yeah and i guess that's good is that it's we have diet racism

but still it persists nonetheless yeah and i mean at the same time it just becomes harder to spot maybe like it's like more insidious they're like right. There's more shit like this. Right. They're just trying to find less visible ways to fuck things up for the rest of us. From what it looks like, it's not going to do a fucking thing because it already shattered the pre-sale record for a film or something. Yeah. Or was it Marvel films? Are any actual reviews out? No. There was a premiere Monday or Tuesday, I felt like, on Twitter.

Everybody was at the Black Panther premiere on Twitter. But it seemed like people really liked it. Oh, yeah. The people who went to the premiere are glowing about it. They'll say it's amazing. It's so hyped. I was like, what if it's just not that good? That's what I keep wondering.

It decides the thing. It's like, I don't know. Can we wait to see if it's good? It looks cool, but a lot of things look cool. Is it a good movie? One of our former guests, Dave Schilling, on Twitter was saying he was there too. And he's like, avoid reviews people give immediately the second they step out of a theater. He's like, and give it a second to really think.

Because he said, is it the greatest film ever? No. He's like, is it one of the best Marvel films? Yes. Right. And that's where it sits. That's saying a lot to me. Yeah, exactly.

So I'm like, that's pretty fucking good. Yeah. I mean, I feel like Wonder Woman also suffered from the same kind of hype where people were very excited to see a female superhero, and I just didn't think it was that good. I just didn't think. I was hoping it would be good, and then it wasn't. It was long. It was good.

Right. It was long. There was those funky accents in the beginning where she went supremacist yeah no misogynist thank you all right men's rights activists let's get it straight he didn't like because he's not trying to see an empowered woman right you're doing all that masculine that was my favorite thing about wonder woman is like it changed the depiction of a female superhero like it sort of turned it on its ear because most of the time like storm and these other female like superheroes they're like flying or using telekinesis like one was like straight up brute strength like let me fucking headbutt

this tank my jeep yeah she was badass and just an israeli player it's like yeah i am scared of israeli women in general and that makes sense to me so maybe there are many layers to you kind of being like i don't know about Marvel. I liked it. I just think people get overexcited sometimes. Right, right, right. It's okay. Like, is it on the list?

I just have my favorite superhero movies, and if they're saying it's one of the best Marvel movies, most of my favorite ones are Marvel ones, so, hey, it must be pretty good. But are you a Marvel or DC person? A Marvel. Yeah, okay. See, now the DC RIP are mentions because they're going to be funny.

But then to go along with that, there was another study that the Southern Poverty Law Center just released that basically indicates that most of our high school students don't know shit about slavery, which, I mean, is not surprising when you look at sort of just in generally the state of our education system and the sentiment people have in regards to slavery, like John Kelly and many other people. But some of the things like in there, for example, only 8 percent of high school seniors surveyed could identify slavery as the main cause of the Civil War. Less than 10 percent of these surveyed high school seniors. You're like, what was the cause of war? That's crazy. Trump. I don't know i mean i i think there was a movement to try and make it about at least yeah states rights and also like the money involved they were like well you know the north was just trying to make it and you know that was almost like a backlash it was like the hip thing to be like, well, actually, historically, it really wasn't about slavery for like a little while there.

Let's negate the suffering of the slaves. Right. So I can see that. But it sounds like in this case, people are just like, I don't know, taxes? That's the other thing. Around 48 percent of the students said that tax protests were the cause. Right. So they just think the Civil War is the American Revolutionary War.

Yeah. Or they thought the Occupy Movement basically is a precursor to the Occupy Movement. The Tea Party? No, but to me it's like see between the lines. Kind of like the last line of the Black Panther protests. It's like, okay, well, maybe they're just confused. And then you see, oh, is this tax protest? So it does seem like right-leaning people have been influencing history books.

As soon as you say that, well, I know where this information is coming from. You know what I mean? It's kind of clear once you say that. Oh, it's tax protest? Yeah. Sounds like a Republican agenda to me. And I think they're saying that another stat from that, only 22% could correctly identify that provisions in the Constitution

gave advantages to slaveholders, which is okay, interesting, but that's a little more nuanced. I'm surprised that 22 percent knew about that, but only 8 percent knew that slavery was the cause of the Civil War. at textbooks providing like comprehensive coverage of slavery, they got like a score of 70% against like the rubric that the SPLC created to rate a book based on like how thoroughly they covered the subject. The average score of the textbooks that were, they were looking at in the study was 46%. So you, and they also say like teachers also have a hard time facilitating nuanced conversations about slavery.

Like once the books close and you begin discussing that some teachers are also just sort of not equipped to like navigate that conversation. Yeah. It's going to get uncomfortable. Yeah. A lot of textbooks are determined by Texas actually, because Texas is so big and the way the textbook industry is set up, Texas creates a lot of the textbooks in America. And Texas, as of the past handful of years, has been violently, violently conservative and violently against the teaching of anybody's version of the story that isn't white European settlers.

Or anything that would make the U.S. look bad in any way. We've done no wrongdoing ever in the history of our country. I mean, the textbooks are one thing, but people have pointed out there's all these other museums. There's no slavery museum really or anything about that. I went to one, actually. There's one plantation

outside of New Orleans. Only there for Mardi Gras. I also go to learn. And they have a museum, but it's like they're just getting it started. I mean compare that to like the Holocaust Museum in D.C., which didn't even happen here. You know what I mean? It's like there's no – there's not these means of teaching it because everyone's awkward about it. I mean so we're not teaching adults.

We're not teaching anyone properly. Yeah, I mean the closest thing is in D.C., the African-American History Museum. But that is like the hardest thing to get into because everybody wants to go. Yeah, yeah. And so they cover it in there. But yeah, it's true. I think it sort of underlines the fact that, look, Black History Month is in the shortest month of the year, and it's real early on.

I think we can use this time to really change our discourse around what we understand about black history because I think right now it's like a sentiment, and it's not so much about really kind of looking like, oh, is everyone aware of the contributions and the trials and tribulations of African-Americans in this country? But hey. So the Black History Museum in D.C. is like a hot club that's hard to get into? It's very hard to get into. It's very hard to get into, yeah, because it's so popular. Everyone wants to go.

Because it is a great museum. It opened like last year. So it's like people. It opened like last year, so it's like people. It just opened last year. Yeah. We just found out we needed a museum about that last year. Right. All right.

We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about that memo. Oh! Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th 2017 was murdered there are crooks everywhere you look now the situation is desperate my name is Manuel Delia I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere

These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president.

One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? Okay. And this season, we're taking in a bigger bite out of the most delicious food and its history. Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico.

So all of these... We thank Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.? I didn't realize how old the hot dog was. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network. Available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back uh so this fucking memo you guys uh i was getting all sorts of tweets and uh

texts from different people about this memo as it was released while i was driving into work uh this morning and uh the my apple watch thought that i was working out because of how fast my heart was going because i was so fucking stressed out by everybody being like oh well see now this this shows that the investigation is bullshit wait those are people texting you that uh yeah. Yeah. As I've said, I have conservative friends who are very smart people who buy into this bullshit somehow. Yeah. I was like, do you just pay attention to Fox News? And he was like, no. What else is there?

I read the Wall Street Journal, which is also a Rupert Murdoch outlet. Yeah. They used to pretend like they were maybe not totally on the GOP end of things, but now it's like full scale. Like, okay. Right. We'll spread the news too. So got in, read the memo, and now I feel a lot better about it because it's just. It's fucking whack.

It's really nothing. So what it is, I actually like took the time to read all four pages of it. And it's all based on a single FISA application that they said is misleading. So they've cherry picked one tiny piece of procedure from the entire investigation and focused on that. And I feel like that's the most telling thing, because if anything, this suggests that the entire investigation is like super buttoned up, because obviously Nunez and Trump's team like poured over the entirety of the investigation for things they could use to suggest bias. And like this tiny part is the best they could come up with. And it's not a convincing argument, really, in the least bit. No. And again, they tried to bring in the Steele dossier again, which is like their

favorite rallying cry. So it starts out saying the Steele dossier, which was being paid for by the Clinton campaign. It was also paid for and in fact started. He was hired in the first place to create the dossier by Republicans. So it's a bipartisan effort. But they talk about how Steele was contacting Institute or at the FBI, whose wife also worked for had a wife who was working for the law firm that was working for the DNC. But that's just like substantive part of the investigation. Like at the very end of the memo, they like throw in and the memo mentioned Papadopoulos and they just like try and throw all this Papadopoulos stuff at the wall because they know that that's actually a relevant part but the fucking dumb part is that it basically confirms that the investigation started because of papadopoulos and not the dossier right that it betrays itself already in putting that information out right so it fucking negates everything after that this thing is i don't

know this is why i like when you came in i was like this is i don't even know it's worth talking about because all this is is the fucking dumbest distraction to begin the sequence of talking points that will lead to the ouster of rod rosenstein right because nothing in here like and i know like we can pick apart bit by bit like what is wrong what is factually inaccurate but you know this is it's i just i don't know it's it's so massively distracting and the shit in there is so weak there's nothing fucking new in here or if it is it's just to like drum up these like old conspiracy theories like when they even say like oh well you know christopher steel didn't want uh the president to be elected yeah maybe because he saw a bunch of disturbing shit and felt duty down to tell the

security apparatus in this country that this person poses a fucking threat to your democracy and your national security. Right. And I was telling Nick, like, that's like someone looking at saying, like, oh, I don't like the Redskins. You know, the Redskins is it's offensive. And they're like, oh, you're saying that because you're a Giants fan. It's like, no, I'm saying because it's the logos races. I think the Redskins name is racist. Not because I'm a Giants fan fan you're completely missing the point that what

is motivating this like what my distaste for something could be or the fact that he is alarmed as an intelligence expert at what he has found right yeah i mean he was predisposed to be worried about a trump presidency because he had been investigating him and had found a bunch of disturbing shit. So there's this sort of mad scramble to basically get this out there by the Trump regime and their propaganda wing, Fox News, and make it seem like a bigger deal than it actually is. And I don't know. I guess the question is whether it's going to work, right?

Yeah. Well, the other thing, Zeit zeitgang when you're out here and you have to talk to fuckheads who are like well you know they were monitoring carter page this is all off the steel dossier that first of all you say that's wrong read the dossier they're saying the investigation started because george papadopoulos right then moving on to carter page this fucking idiot was giving documents to russian spies in 2013 and was already on the radar of our intelligence community because he was fucking working with Russian spies.

Like they had already got him cooperating with them. So to act like they never say that Carter Page was a bad target. That's never in the memo at all. And if they don't really also allude to the fact or just acknowledge the fact that clearly if they keep renewing it, that there had to have been evidence that each time they were surveilling him, it was yielding evidence that would justify continuing the surveillance. So I don't know. It's just like.

And Carter Page, we should mention when it came out, like all this super suspicious behavior, the White House completely disavowed him and was like, oh, yeah, we don't know that guy. I don't know him. So I don't know. Those two things don't seem to like the fact that they're saying it's completely unfair that they were going after Carter Page and the fact that they're like, we don't know him like those. It's just like somebody lying.

He's just saying whatever in the at that moment is convenient. It's a bad episode of Cops when the dude has clearly crashed his car drunk and they pull him out and they're like, hey, what happened here? And they're like, oh, no, man. I think this guy was driving the car. And you're like, motherfucker, you're in the driver's seat.

We just saw you. It's the same shit, but playing out at the highest levels of government. So, cool. You know, this morning on fox news they were acting like oh well looky here so i guess steel was against trump the whole time so that dossier that says the strippers peed all over the bed is untrue right but i've yet to read anything that has completely debunked the steel dossier we've only seen things that essentially corroborate everything's corroborated the steel dossier the all this says is that steel was worried about a trump presidency

after he started investigating him and found out about the p-tape and found out like that he was compromised by putin so um yeah and i mean this seems to be the first step in Trump's attempt to purge the FBI and fire – the FBI, which let's remember was happy to feed details of the Clinton email investigation. Jesus. Yeah, to Rudy Giuliani. The Clinton email investigation. Like let's keep in mind that's what they were worried about. And also, yeah, that Peter Strzok, who is the FBI agent who's like, oh, the guy who said secret society in those text messages, he drafted that letter that Comey released in October that I think most people will say helped push the election into Donald Trump's favor. Right. So and they were treating this Peter Strzok guy like a fucking boogeyman the whole time.

And then here it comes out. Your boy actually helped Trump significantly. Right. So where's that now? Like, they're just grasping at straws. time and then here it comes out uh your boy actually helped trump significantly right so where's that now like they're just grasping at straws it's so apparent that the gop is just covering for the president's fuckery yeah it's just fucking it it's so transparent like it's just oh man it's so disheartening like but at the same time that's what i'm like don't even give this shit air because it's bullshit let's keep it moving let's pass some legislation that'll

fucking protect robert muller and do that right yeah the thing i have heard conservatives say is we need to pass legislation that protects the president from stuff like this um so yeah i don't know this is just if anything evidence like you know even if you were on the fence of whether the russia investigation was going to reveal, just how completely desperate they seem to dead it is kind of one of the most revealing things to me. It is a total distraction. How about this? Can we all agree on these things? Russia hacked the DNC to influence the election.

Can we all agree on that? Both sides agreed on that. Can we agree that Trump was so excited when he was like, yo, I love WikiLeaks. I would love to have this dirt. Right. Right? Okay, we can accept that. Can we also agree that the Trump team may have most likely had a meeting with that Russian lawyer about getting those Hillary emails?

Yeah. According to them, they had a meeting with her. It was just about child adoptions. Child adoptions. And he says even when he met with Putin, he said meeting with her. It was just about child adoptions. Child adoptions. And he says even when he met with Putin, he said, oh, I met with him about child adoptions. Okay, give me a break. For an innocent person, these would all be things they would want investigated to prove like there's nothing going on here.

Also, we can also accept they were trying to obscure the fact that those meetings happened. Right. And then that the FBI was, they were only looking at Hillary during the campaign. Then that the FBI was they were only looking at Hillary during the campaign. So I'm sorry. That to me is more of a scandal than shit pants. Devin Nunes trying to to like drum up this. It's just stupid, man.

There's nothing substantive in there. Right. And now I want to see. That's why they need to have the Democrat memo out to just eviscerate this thing. Right. So, yeah, that's important. People are probably hearing memo gate. The memo has been released and assuming that this is in some way like a comprehensive thing or. So let's just say what the memo is. The memo is one Republicans like cherry picked account of a very specific, like procedural aspect of the case that he thinks was biased. That's like a thing that really has barely any bearing on the investigation. Like Carter Page is not a key part of the investigation at this point that we know of.

Right. Right. I guess this is why it's been taking so long, because they knew they would pick up any kind of. Right. Thing that they could get at. All of the ways that this is, you know, that the Republican memo that was just released is misleading. The FBI wants that out there. The FBI said, like, this is wildly reckless to put this out there. The FBI, which is run by people who Trump handpicked. These are Trump appointees.

These are not the Democrats and the FBI are in cahoots. The FBI fucking swung the election to Trump, like Miles said. So, I mean, I assume the FBI, even besides the fact that they turned the election, that maybe a lot of the agents are right leaning. So how do they feel and how are they going to react when he's doing this kind of stuff? I think they're doing they're involved in an investigation that I don't know. I wouldn't say, but I think it's misleading to, I guess, say that all the entire FBI was totally on this Team Trump thing. There were definitely a few agents who in New York were the ones who were putting the pressure like through – like leaking to Rudy Giuliani that basically forced Comey's hand to talk about that there was a thing because he didn't want it to get out like that. So there are – I'm sure there are people who were like that.

because he didn't want it to get out like that. Okay. So there are, I'm sure there are people who were like that. But to say, I guess really the FBI in general is for the most part, is not who you want to fuck with as president because they take down all the presidents whenever there's fuckery. So what are some examples of that? I don't know, Nixon, you know, fucking. Kennedy. No, but with Nixon, he actually asked uh the fbi to shut down the probe uh and uh someone at the fbi

flatly said no also if you remember mark felt who was deep throat uh also fbi assistant director so you know the fbi has receipts and even like in 2004 george w bush bush too was actually confronted by bob mull Mueller himself, where Mueller was basically saying like, yo, I'm going to resign if you don't knock off some of this electronic surveillance shit that you're doing after 9-11. And then guess what happened? Bush agreed. And he agreed to put it on more like, you know, make it above board and less, you know, illegal. So clearly, the FBI has a relationship with being independent and also stepping in when presidents are going out of line for the well-being of the rest of the country.

So, yes, I think the bottom line, though, is that if there is ever in time where Trump needs our top law enforcement apparatus to be functioning in his favor, this is not going to this is not good for their relationship for him to paint all these guys to be like, oh, they're hacks because they're I'm sure most I would say most people are probably being professional, actually respect the work that they do at the bureau, trying to be unbiased, actually, neither side. Right, exactly. Yeah. But the goal here is for him to be able to fire all the leadership and put more leaders in there who are, you know, now like on his side. Right. And they want to say that it's politicized i'm

sorry did you not ask james comey rod rosenstein all these people for fucking loyalty oaths yeah and you want to say it's political i'm saying and how many people of his own can he put in there all the people underneath are going to be upset i mean like there's no you can't just replace everybody well right i mean like one thing is that so if he's able to remove rod rosenstein that he'll either try and get someone confirmed or what he can do is move somebody that has already received Senate confirmation into that position to do his bidding. And if that's the case, I think they know is like if they fire Bob Mueller, it's going to be a disaster. So what they can do is put someone in that deputy AG position to like massively curtail and hamstring his investigation and like limit the scope of it. So it becomes much more difficult for Robert Mueller to put his case together.

That's where like all these signs are pointing to. up but trump continues to talk about some attack in the future that we don't know about but he keeps talking about or a major event a major event that will uh okay what was the thing with the election this is maybe a month or two ago in the washington post they were talking about uh it was an article about midterms and it was like a small line i think other clearly many other people picked it up because it was very weird talking about how the midterms, and it was like a small line. I think clearly many other people picked it up because it was very weird. Talking about how the midterms were not looking good, but he's been saying privately that when 9-11 happened, that helped the Bush White House tremendously because it just – approval ratings skyrocket when there's a fucking terrorist attack like that. They said, well, maybe nothing like that will happen, but I know that it helps or whatever. Maybe nothing like that will happen, but I know that it helps or whatever. Then earlier this week, he was talking to the press before the State of the Union.

He was saying, I would love to be able to bring our country back into a great form of unity, quote, without a major event where people pull together. That's hard to do, but I would like to do it without that major event because usually that major event is not a good thing. So again, just be ashamed if something were to happen yeah because then everybody would be behind so whether that is i mean if you want to look at all the the news coming out of the pentagon with north korea like the fact that the white house keeps telling the pentagon give us more options give us more options because clearly the pentagon is like okay here are options they're like don't fucking show him anything like with a military strike and now the white house like no we want something we, we want military options. I don't know what this is leading to.

Well, just keep in mind that his boy Putin came to power through a false flag operation where they bombed a bunch of apartment buildings and blamed it on Chechens. And it is almost definitely – like everybody – like obviously the press there is not free to print this. Say that it was the FSB. Like when you read up on the details, it's basically their version of the CIA is like all over the place in the investigation of the bombings. Not to mention the head of the FSB, the GRU, and like their main spy chief were in D.C. talking to Mike Pompeo. And we didn't know until the Russian media was like, oh, hey, by the way way like all of our top spy people were talked to mike pompeo at the cia right about terrorism or whatever and then here we are not enforcing the fucking sanctions uh which would probably deter russia from attempting to fuck with the midterms there's like really like i don't know

it's just all this memo shit is just such a distraction from the real fucking problems because the more we talk about this memo, the less we have to talk about the fact that he's not enforcing sanctions and that these people have been visiting D.C. and who knows what's going on with North Korea. It's Friday. Maybe he just read The Watchmen recently.

He's all into the ending. Ozzy Mendes. Let's hope it's like some kind of weird alien thing and not a not something where a lot of people die yeah that is true i'm fake alien things lands and then we all unify against the aliens that would be probably the best case scenario and i hope when he says like we have to you know increase our arsenal he's talking about we have a dr manhattan or something yeah just pull up that would be way more entertaining it would it's almost it's it's

scary on so many levels but basically what he's saying is also that like uh not only is he going to solidify power but in a way probably a lot of people are gonna have to die in order for him to solidify power which is yeah disgusting and scary and i don't want to be reckless and say that that is what is going to happen but it's just very unsettling language well if he's allowed to speculate about it then i feel like we should be able to speculate about it too right like if he's allowed to be like it'd be a shame if something were to happen type thing it'd be a shame if someone 9-11'd you right like what then i feel like we should be able to point out because that's fucking crazy if it's somebody with north korea here in california we are the closest uh you know i mean maybe alaska technically well no but we

are the closest uh you know i mean maybe alaska technically well no but we it's uh people from inside north korea have said that you know the very first target that uh kim jong-un would attack is los angeles and hollywood yeah really yeah because he's like an old art yeah i thought his dad loved the movies they do but like that's why fuck you dad i i think it would be like a way of feeling like he destroyed something important and not seth rogan's house just straight to the house straight up tactical nuclear strike but yeah and not to mention what would happen in the region in general what happens to seoul just across the border there i mean those are the japan like yo they're putting people at risk, man. Yeah.

It's fucking ridiculous. I hadn't thought it would be North Korea. I was thinking more of a terrorist thing here and not like some kind of big war thing. I mean, who knows? He says a major event, so who knows? The Super Bowl halftime show could be a major event. Aliens. Puppy Bowl.

Sloth takes the Puppy Bowl. Yeah. That's a major event. It brings the country together. All of his approval ratings go up up and we're out of this. Right. All right. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife

So the Super Bowl is this weekend, which means it's the Friday of Super Bowl week. And ESPN has reached new levels of desperation when it comes to generating stories about the Super Bowl.

This happens every year. We actually, one of the first, like, hit viral things we did on Cracked was create a fake ESPN that was just, like, all the Super Bowl stories that, like, they were trying to generate. Right now, though, the front page of ESPN, the second story is, Who will prevail in Super Bowl 52? Maybe the team that sleeps on it. Studies show that even a small increase in REM sleep can boost performance. So that's where they're at right now is like, yeah, they're just because they have to.

They're covering this one game like for they have to write, you know, a thousand stories about this one game. game like for they have to write you know a thousand stories about this one game and well i think time i saw like on their twitter it's like 23 facts you didn't know about the super bowl right it's like yeah that it's okay cool sweet i mean i would have loved that when i was still reading like sports illustrated for kids in 1993 uh i think the eagles are gonna win that's that's my oh it's going right into that, huh? Yeah They feel like a team of destiny It feels like they've been underrated

Underestimated every step of the way I'm an ashamed Patriots fan But I think the Eagles are definitely going to win It's like they've been underdogs for the past three rounds I think it's definitely the same thing is happening every time. People are like, yeah, but not this time. The Eagles suck. The Nick Foles won't do it again.

And they keep surprising people. I think it'll keep happening. When you say you're an ashamed Patriots fan, what does that mean? I've been a Patriots fan since before Tom Brady was their quarterback. And, you know, I'm still a Patriots fan. Do I love the fact that he had a MAGA hat in his locker? Yes, I do. No.

Or is it just because a Patriots fan gets such hate and you're like, but I was down with it before it got like this. I think the cheating stuff is overblown. I'm not ashamed of that i'm just ashamed of you know uh they're kind of assholes wait i'm a reverse conspiracy theorist on that he's being honest he's being honest uh yeah and i i just get that it's fucking annoying to have a team that is there every year yeah but louis you got a pick i don't like any form of football american international i think football or football yeah football either

kind of food food or foot i'll my pick is that i will be drunk on a couch somewhere on sunday yeah and that's and i will participate in that way but i don't have a pick yeah okay what about uh food let's talk food what do you like to eat on the Super Bowl? Oh, man. Whatever anyone's serving up. I'll tell you this. This isn't my favorite thing. This is going to sound like some L.A. bullshit, but someone brought these vegetarian buffalo

wings, which I didn't think would be good. Like cauliflower buffalo wings. Oh, yeah. From Veggie Grill? Yeah. These were from some other place. Boulan, this vegetarian Thai place. But, man, those are phenomenal.

Yeah. I didn't know that could be that good, now i'm like turn on like buffalo cauliflower which sounds like some bullshit but i'm telling you it's delicious no it is really good someone who does not normally eat vegetarian or vegan really specifically the first time i had that i was like oh yeah right you done it yeah cauliflower is like kind of the new hot shit right i mean it's been cool for a while but cruciferous vegetables have had a bad rap for a long time. I'm just glad they're coming back. For me, personally, I'm going with the Eagles because

my man is Chris and his family are from Philly. So I don't care about the NFL either, but I'll use the one good memory I have of football which is through my friend Chris Flick. So shout out to you, Chris. I hope the fucking Eagles do it. I also think the accents in Philadelphia are great, too.

Yo. You're getting into Uncle Iggy's. That's how my cousins talk. My whole family is from Philadelphia. They're going to fucking – Shame on you. Damn, see, the stakes are high. Yeah.

You have familial roots, but – It also really is two places with horrible accents. I mostly live in New York now, and I feel like the bad reputation that New Yorkers have is actually true about Philly and Boston. That's where those people are from, actually. People who are really mean. Obnoxious and mean and violent.

That's not in New York. That's in those places. People like to fight in Boston, man. Yeah, they really do like to fight. Man, I was surprised. Like, whoa, whoa, okay. Just for walking on the street? Or just the way they talk out there. It sounds like someone's about to fight, even when I was surprised. Like, whoa, whoa, okay. Just for walking on the street? Or just the way they talk out there. It sounds like someone's about to fight even when they're not. Like, what the fuck are they fucking?

And it's like, is this about to go down? It's like, no, they're just going to get some food. They're ordering at a drive-thru. Yeah. Do you have any predictions of anything you think might happen in the game, Jack? Look into your crystal ball. Anything. It doesn't even have to be sports-related.

Will there be a blackout? Will there be something controversial? Yeah, I. Will there be a blackout? Will there be something controversial? Yeah, I think there will be a blackout for sure. I don't know. It's really cold up there in Minnesota right now. Up there in Minnesota. So, you know, I think the stands will be almost all Eagles fans. It will be almost like a home game for the Eagles because Patriots fans are

like, ah, we're over it. We've seen like six Superbowl. We've been everywhere already. You saw the, you saw what Philadelphia looked like the night after, uh,

the Eagles made it. So it's going to be like a home game for them. And, uh, I think, I think it'll be closer than their game with the Vikings, but I think it'll be, I'm just going to pray that Janet Jackson comes out and she pulls out,

and she pulls out Justin. I just feel like that's what has to happen. That's how the universe is going to write itself. Even, you know, even with all this memo gate shit, we might just be, who knows?

We could be vaporizing nuclear blast by North Korea. But if I can see Janet Jackson get up there and pull Justin to release Dick out and bring balance to the force, right? That could be the great event. I think it's too far. I think you've got to go one nut, right or left. I think dick is too far. Okay.

I'll accept that too. I'll accept that. All right. We've got to get to Bloid Watch before the episode is over. What's going on in the world of tabloids? Just to remind people, we talk about tabloids because millions upon millions of people pass those every day because humans still have eyes and they still need to buy milk. The information on the cover of tabloids are still being dumped into millions and millions of brains every day.

So, Miles, what is happening in the world of tabloids? What are the good ones? On the cover of Star, Tom escapes Scientology for Surrey. What pushed him over the edge? Inside the magazine, though, when they try and allude to the fact that he's leaving Scientology, he didn't go to the opening of a center. Right. So they're like,

oh. But then in the same article, they also say he might be being groomed to replace, like, David Miscavige to be the head of the church. So, pfft. So he's either leaving the church or about to become the pope of the church. So cool. So we've got some good inside information on that one. This one, Matt's Revenge. Got Matt Lauer on InTouch.

He knows all their dirty secrets inside his explosive $12 million tell-all. Love children, nude selfies, anchory bombshell. Quote, everyone was sleeping with each other. You go inside and they're saying he might write a book because he thinks it'll help him pull him out of... If he's going down, then I'm taking the whole motherfucker with me kind of attitude.

What is someone that rich cares? Just live in your mansion and you're making $23 million a fucking year. And you're going to do it for $12? Come on, man. That's Hoda money. All right. Next, in the National Enquirer, my husband murdered JonBenet.

Oh, solved. Why are we talking about the memo, Jack? We found out. My husband murdered. This 85-year-old's dying confession, exclusive interview. When you go in there, so they're saying the creep lived in the neighbor's basement and he had a shrine to the beauty queen and it all hangs on the fact that the man he smiled when i asked if he did it bladow boom case closed but this was somebody who lived in the neighbor's basement i guess i don't know i i didn't even read that far until i saw that it was all hanging on the fact that he smiled

when she asked if he did it right they put a dude's picture on the fucking cover, too. Like, granted, he's dead, but that's still, like, could you fucking imagine? Yeah. Having that on your face. Right. Yo, that's my fucking uncle, man. Right. What the fuck are you doing?

Kill JonBenet Ramsey? Yeah. Anyway, shout out to JonBenet. Now, this one's big. This is wild. This is hot shit. Woo! Hot take.

Why are we talking about the memo when the queen survives assassin's bullet arrested after firing kill shot as she left a limo okay first of all you go in the thing apparently she was in new zealand and this guy tried to take a shot at her uh but they're saying the media didn't cover it and say there wasn't an attempt and then the guy mysteriously died in jail. It's full of so much weird, speculative, unconfirmed shit. And they're like, many Islamic

terror groups have put a fucking target on the family, so watch out for the wedding. It's going to be crazy. But I don't know. You'd think that'd be in the news. The real news. Sorry, no offense to the... If you look

right above jfk buried next to nazi so america's hidden shame right so so fuck what joe kennedy said at the response because his fucking great uncle was buried next to a nazi uh and then that's about it oh also natalie wood case solved Case solved. Oh, finally. Because I was reading. I had some things bookmarked about that. But the case has been solved. Cool. It's been solved because she cheated with Chris Walken and Robert Wagner flew into a jealous rage. Oh.

So case closed. Well, that is what people think happened. But that's a thing that I feel like the media has just in the back of their file of stories that that can always come up because like if there's no snowstorm coming or something they're just like oh robert wagner has been a person of mystery like for 10 years and they'll just mention it again every fucking time or they'll ask the lead investigator they ask the lead investigator is is he a suspect and he no, I'd say he's a person of interest. So it's just like, you know, that is nothing that tells us nothing. Wow. And it is not the investigator coming out and saying that, like, motivated by him having some new information. It is the media asking him and him saying, well, I'd temper that.

So, yeah. Hey, you got to try, though. You got to swing for the fences. Right. Louie, it's been a pleasure having you, man. I'd temper that. Hey, you gotta try though. You gotta swing for the fences. Louis, it's been a pleasure having you, man. Where can people find you, follow you, do all that good stuff? I'm on all the internet things.
