Oh, that one courtesy of vanadium silver on the Discord. My name is Jack O'Brien.

that over there is, of course, Mr. Miles Gray. Oh, no, no, you don't. No, you don't. Too much energy? I'm not. I'm not bad. Is tone loke? What's tone loke up to?

I don't know, man. He had a real, he had a run there where he was just bringing tone loke energy to comedy films. I know. In a way that was great. He was in Ace Ventura, and he was also in Ace Ventura Jr. I didn't realize the 2009 follow-up, which I'm sure is a problem. problematic as the first. They fixed all the problematic stuff.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, all the transphobia from the first one. Poetic just, oh, that's right, he was in blank check and heat. I don't know, tone loke, good for you, man. Spy hard. It's been a while. Oh, he had a DUI. Oh, man. Then he was okay.

He confronted someone who was wearing a Confederate battle flag baseball. Okay, tone loke. There we go. Still out there. Yeah. 2016 to present. The I love the. the 90s tour.

Yeah, yeah. All right. Tor never ends. You seem like you're okay. I feel like it's everything. Season 14 of the masked singer as handyman. That had to have been easy. Yeah, right?

One of the most identifiable voices. Yeah, like, hold on. He was on the mask singer. That's so funny. That's so funny. Oh, my God. Well, was he just like a side character? Where is this?

On the mass singer? No. Yeah. He competed in season 14 as handy. man resembled a robotic handyman with wrenches for hands as he was eliminated on clueless night alongside taraji p henson as scarab oh taraji p henson was doing that shit he was assisted in the unmasking by the men in black due to the costumes wrench hands did an encore of wild thing all right all right hey that's a little bit of all right i was robot wrench hands man that was this year already

it's me a robot let me sing this new track. Like, it's like, bro, you're, you're gonna know right. That show really feels like your brain is dying. Really feels like the world ended 10 years ago. And this is just a figment of our dying imagination. I watched another, because you're talking about the anticipation of the unmasking part. I was watching the one with Ken Jong when he was unmasked.

And it took 14 minutes. I felt like, he's one of the hosts, isn't he? Oh, was it him? I think it was so they cut to his face a lot during the thing because he gives good reaction shot that's what I'm thinking

you actually didn't make it all the way through I just got and you just see Kenjohn oh oh yeah it's way too much doing way too much there anyway anyways that's I mean we got to something that is trending

the season 14 of the masked singer happened this year you're welcome folks but let's let's get into some news. There's a new trend. I mean, it's not new, but there was, of course, the series about the making of the godfather.

And now there's going to be a movie about Sylvester Stallone making Rocky with the baffling title, I play Rocky. Oh, no. Why are they got to do them like that? I play Rocky.

Did he write that now? I play Rocky? Sounds like the state he's in now. Right. What should we call it? I play rock I play rock um all right I know that was famously his demand

that he had to fight for was that like he wrote the script and they were like all right so we're going to get bert reynolds oh was that the first pick for i don't know but like that was oh yeah it was the 70s yeah yeah we'd love to get burt reynolds if we could get him oh i play rocky is the writer who like wrote it don't i got rights

hey don't i got rights don't i play rocky um i didn't even know that who's sure okay did the offer even do well I mean it definitely got some cultural cachet going like people were talking about it it infected the zeitgeist briefly I think not this one people didn't like it that much

okay good so then let's keep going do they like it no no no no no no no no no but I think you know they're maybe sick of remakes and sequels to classic films so now they're like What if we did a movie about the classic film? As opposed to coming up with new IP, just stuff that is AI caliber. Yeah, what do we already own?

Okay, so have Lily Collins play Audrey Hepburn? Yes. So that's where we're at. They're making a movie about the making of Breakfast at Tiffany's, starring Lily Collins, who's a delight based on... I just know the poster. I just know everyone has like a poster of Aubrey Hepburn from Audrey Hebry Audrey Hepburn. Shout out Drake.

Is that is that like a huge thing? Like was there a lot of intrigue about the making of that film or something? Not that I'm aware of. It's a movie that's always seemed to outpunch its weight in terms of like number of people who have seen it and enjoyed it as compared to people just being like, I just like the vibe of it, you know? Right. And I get like, dude, Lily Collins, she's going to be perfect. Looks exactly like great. However.

Hepburnian. I don't. I mean, I get, I know, I know, I know, I should not for me. This is this one part of the movie. Yeah. There's this one part of the movie that, uh, I think is not for anyone that, uh, so it's based on a best selling book about the making of, uh, Breakfast of Tiffany's. And there's this deadline article about this thing.

And it doesn't, doesn't even address. the question on everyone's mind, which is what the fuck are they going to do about Mickey Rooney? Mickey Rooney plays the most racist caricature in the history of cinema. Have you seen Marlon Brando in Tea House of August Moon? Because Marlon Brando also, he's coming with the Japanese yellow face in that movie. And my mom loves that shit.

He wants to do them. He wants to do right. by the Japanese people in that performance. This is done with hatred in his heart. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. And the big one is like, fuck you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Essentially the subtext of his entire performance. And the book that the movie is based on is full of just terrible details about Mickey Rooney's casting, specifically how as a PR stunt, the studio announced that the character was going to be played by a Japanese comedian named Ohio Arrigato. And people are like, okay.

They're like, he's the best Japanese comedian of all time. Wow. Very famous in his foreign land. Oh, man. And playing opposite him, the famous Mexican actor, Buenos Dias, Grasias.

Fuck it, Ohio Arrigato. That's good morning and thank you. Get those fuck. Jesus. I don't know. What? Mr. Arito. Oh, arigato, Mr. Arigato. Holy shit, okay.

They knew it was fucked up at the time because they tried to appease their potentially uneasy Japanese audience by announcing that the, quote, wife of the cultural information of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce was going to be Mickey Rooney's coach and technical advisor. The wife

of the culture, wait, hold on. Yeah. It's basically the, we know a Japanese person. And they're like officially Japanese. Okay. I shoot a conciliatory press release confirming that Mrs. Katsima Mukaeda, wife of the cultural information director of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles. In Los Angeles. Rose, you're talking about like the people who are out here trying to make the most money in the city who happened to be Japanese and they were like, yeah, yeah,

his wife co-signed it. So we're, I think, good here? I think that, I think that means legally we're covered and you're actually not allowed to be mad at us. That's actually, so you're going to be racist to Mrs. Katzima Mukaieda? No, that makes you racist actually, according to Supreme Court precedent. The screenwriter hated the Mickey Rooney scenes, but director Blake Edwards insisted on keeping them in, causing a major rift in their relationship. I'm very curious to see how they handle this whole subplot. Wow.

But it's coming. the making of breakfast at Tiffany's. I don't know what the what the title is that they've It's called it's gonna be called Blackfish at Tiffany's probably I can already tell this fuck this is some shit I wonder it is it will be interesting

how they approach that It's like some white actor gonna have to really start fucking doing some wild accent Jesus Christ Do they excise it completely and be like No I never have it? Not sure what you're talking about

or it's like the it's like the shark in jaws where they don't show it but like it's just there in the background is this horrifying thing that everybody like knows about yeah if I had legs I would kick you how like they don't show

Rose Burns like family ever but it's just like that pressure like background pressure and noise and yeah I just like this like this thing about the writer hating the director for putting it in there it said they were in since

quote each time Rooney appeared I said Jesus Blake can't you see that it fucks up the picture He said, we need comedy in this, and Mickey's character's funny. Mickey's character is A, not funny in that film, and B, he has nothing whatsoever to do with the goddamn story. I got Audrey to agree to reshoot the last scene, which is the only thing she was in with Rudy, so I could cut out all of the Rooney stuff, however Blake kept it in. Jesus Christ.

One of the great should have been deleted scenes of all time. Do you think the development people are just realizing this is a thing they're going to have to deal with? They're just like, breakfast of Tiffany. This is great. They're like, oh my God, dude. Everyone had that poster. Yeah. Okay, what about Mickey Rooney, the upstairs neighbor?

You know who... Speaking of upstairs neighbors, you know, who was the first choice to play the Audrey Hepburn character was Marilyn Monroe. Oh. They just did... Which actually, like, makes a lot of sense because, like, with her character, it could have been... could have been iconic. Yeah. And yet,

uh, she was seen as too difficult at the time. Yeah. Wow. Because she was a woman. She had a mind of her own. Yeah. Wow.

Anyway. Anyway, but hey, good luck. All I know, like to me, I just know, I know the upstairs.

That's just so funny. My only idea, before I, you completely jogged my memory of the Mickey Rooney character. I only just knew the fucking poster that everybody had, like, that they bought from IKEA. Yeah.

Which was like her with the long cigarette and the glove. loves. Like that's... And then I was like, that's right. There's other shit going on. Well, good luck to them. And I can't wait

to see the casting for this. Who dares touch the fucking like the radioactive rod that is the role of Mickey Rooney in this thing. Damn. That's gonna be wild. Or is it all revisionist

and the guy playing Mickey Rooney? Just get an actual Japanese person to... Yeah. That would be... That would be... That, no. They did that. No, it's...

If they got a Japanese person, but then the Japanese person played up the, like, how racist and stupid the thing was. They're going to cast me. Like, oh, I'm Mickey Rooney. Oh, I'm Mickey Rooney. And they'll be like, they're like, this guy's great. They're like, he's Japanese, right?

Well, like, he's half. They're like, great. What's the other half? Black? Oh, perfect. Wow. We got some rewrites for you, Miles. Mr. Ohio Arrigato is going to say something about, you know who.

Okay. We're going to write this in there. But you can do that. You can do that. Yeah. All right. Speaking of that voice that you were. just doing right there. Gavin Newsom, who is really, they're doing it. They're putting him in front of us

as like, here comes your presumptive 2028 presidential nominee. Unhing your jaws, folks, so you can fit all this down your gullet because we're ramming it through. Close your eyes, close your nose. Yeah, that's what they think they're going to do. Again, I think the best right now, because it's still only 2026. Just as early as possible, the sentiment from every person who posts anything about Newsom has to be negative,

has to be that this guy is a joke, has to be that this guy is unserious and unworthy of holding the office of president for whatever the fuck this next president. Again, even talking about that, I'm like terms and conditions apply to the 2028 election because we don't know.

We don't know if it will happen. Yeah. I just want to play this thing because he was just, he, we, there was a, he was sort of a, he was sort of a making,

viral was him yesterday. In Atlanta. Yeah. In Atlanta saying, hey, I'm like, I'm like you guys. I did bad on my SATs.

And people took that to be him saying, I'm like you, black audience. All black people that I have low SAT scores and I don't. Which is not what. It wasn't technically, like you, it definitely was bad optics,

but it seemed like he was just saying like, hey, I'm a man of the people. It's like him saying that he watches Rogan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, the clip that I saw was like just clipped where he's just talking to the moderator and he's like, I'm like you, 960 SAT and people were like, look what he's trying to say. And I'm like, look, I'm here to drag Gavin Newsom as quickly as possible. But like, he's, that was him trying to be like, I'm not a global elite. I'm kind of dumb.

Like, I'm a regular guy. Yeah, yeah. This is the shit. If you really want to. This is what's wrong. If you want to get Dragatha Christie's, this is the fucking clip you play because he was talking to Dan Abash just about like what, God, please tell me Gavin Newsom, what do the Democrats need to do going forward given we just got the fucking autopsy that the DNC was trying to hide saying, lost a lot of support not speaking out against the genocide like a lot, like measurably, like to the point that it's in our post-mortem analysis of that campaign. Yeah, just not having the energy, the support of the people that are the base, the young people, the progressive wing of the party, the people who energetically are pulling out miracles out here for people like Zeran Mamdani. But this is Gavin Newsom, I think, taking the totally wrong message of Zeran's candidacy, which was he was sort of like, he didn't talk about that other stuff.

He was talking about like cost of living stuff. But here's Gavin Newsom's twisted version of that. No doubt that the Democratic Party needs to be, dare I say, more culturally normal. I believe that. Less prone to spending disproportionate amount of time on pronouns, identity, politics, more focused on table-top issues, things that really matter, the stacking of stress in terms of electricity bills and child care costs and health care and obviously housing costs. First of, I just want to say he doesn't even believe, he's like weather ballooning these takes, too. You can tell when he's like... You can hear the question mark in his voice.

There I say less time on pronouns. Culturally normal. It's like he was looking around. He's like, are the groups here already? Are the groups here? If they put to drag me, the groups? The groups whack him like Joe Pesci and Goodfellas. Yeah.

Oh, what the fuck. Culturally normal is fucking crazy. Yeah. There's more. There's more. So dare I say regressive? Yeah. Matter the stacking of stress in terms of electricity bills and child care costs and health care and

and housing costs. Yep. All good stuff. Trapped in that. How I've fallen prey to that. Oh. I mean, here I was way out front on marriage equality.

So I understand this. Oh. You fell prey to supporting marriage equality? The fuck. So here's the thing you got to understand, Miles, is if we're going to support people and like understand that there is. a materialistic problem here of inequality. We got to throw the LGBT community under the fucking bus.

Do you understand? Especially the T's, if you know what I mean. Because we're not in the, and the dude, if you're, if you're an NB, bro, no, no, we can't do that. You know, that's the thing, man. I fell prey to it too, man, you know? I got tricked. Yeah, man.

I got tricked into advocating for equal rights. Yeah. That is disqualified. is completely also like just in terms of his political instincts everybody's for marriage equality like what are you talking about what do you mean normal decent person i think because he's trying to say that i was like more than interview was talking about like you know because there were democrats that were just coming at me about really fighting for marriage equality and i and i can see where they're at but it's like stop giving any kind of like uh legitimacy to those bad faith arguments

when people are saying, no, no, no, no, those people don't deserve equal footing in the eyes of the law. That's not someone you, if you say, I get it. I get that some people deserve less than. Right. Like that is fucking diabolical. And I think if we're going to honor the fucking pain and suffering that people have had to endure, like for the, for many decades now, centuries, and those even more recently brutalized and dehumanized under Trump, we need to be intentional in choosing someone that is not residing in this ideological garbage dump where people can be left behind.

Because if people can be left up behind, that means they will turn a blind eye to more discriminatory killings, more kidnappings of immigrants, the erosion of right. We're in an era where the erosion of right seems to be the norm. So if someone who goes, yeah, that ain't that bad, well, then get the fuck out of here, bro. Like, you don't deserve a fucking vote. Well, I'm just saying, like, we got to be able to say that because people might not like me. Like, that's the shit. We just, people know that that's not going to work anymore.

That sounds like a you problem. Yeah, yeah. Sounds like you don't have the courage of your own convictions. And that's going to be a problem for us at this point going forward. Like I was saying, like, Zeran did a great job of like he said. He's like, we got to, because he's talking about, we got to talk about these, you know, kitchen table issues. Yeah. You know, and I'm like, of course, because

And therefore, that brings in a broader tent. But it doesn't have to be at the expense of advocating for everyone's fair treatment. Like, Zoran didn't say, he wasn't like, yeah, man, we need better tenant protections and less support for LGBT people. Yeah. That's my candidacy. And Newsom is trying to do that. Like he's trying to say, he's like, look, dude, I'm not like, I'm not going to do that thing like with like, you know, Kamala. you know and like getting caught with an attack ad where they say like I'm trying to give gender affirming care with federal funds like don't know no no no no uh which of all yes the fuck you are yeah right that's just gonna happen no matter what so why go with someone who's so worried about it that he can't even stand up like he looks like me trying to stand up in a bounce house like it's just like that that's the you're getting really low yeah you're like just like falling over it's like it's just like falling over it's like you're getting really low yeah you're like you're getting really low just like falling over

like that's he has stand on that no I'm gonna curl up in a ball could you bounce me I'm gonna scurl up in a ball could you bounce me up popcorn popcorn popcorn yeah so again um yeah get him out this isn't the one definitely the DNC you can try but I think I think people like it's really important especially for just like the brunch type of liberals who are like we just got to get back to normal normal's fucking up and normal allowed all of this to happen, allowed for the economics to fall apart enough that people were willing to entertain another Trump presidency. There's so many things that have to be changed and done radically different.

And I think if we're going to, you know, like the one thing I tell myself about how fucked up this presidency is like, well, the norm's fucking gone. That's right. But the norm was also fucked up. And the one, the only fucking potential for good in this is, that if we get on the other side, we have the ability to build something new and something better.

Because if the norm has been shattered, then we can start with something new. We're not focused. It's our only hope. Otherwise, if it's incrementalism, if it's because the Overton window got shifted totally to the fucking Nuremberg trials levels, basically.

Yeah. And they're like, well, shit, now we can just kind of be a little bit to the left of that. That's, we're going to be right back where we started. And, you know, the DNC is going to fight like hell

to make sure that people get in mind for him or a Buttigieg or something, but not. It's why he's like really like seems to be at the exact same level as Kamala, like, just in terms of his ability to like get through a sentence while seeming like he knows where it's going to land. You know what I mean? Like it's every Democratic canon, and this was true of Biden as well, whereas like you can feel them as they speak trying to like put like a person who's in the dark just like grasping around like looking for. for like where they want to go with it. And it's just, it's, you just feel it in your bones.

This person is not shit. They don't know, they don't know anything. They're just trying to see what you're going to like about them. You're making pop. You're making like paint by numbers pop music, but with like people's lives and politics where it's like, well,

how can I, well, this artist is popping. And maybe I can take a little bit of this. And it's like, no, bro. If you're not, if these aren't your values, we can hear it.

And it stinks like shit. so I think somebody in front of us they can do it. Completely reject him though, right? Like, aren't they? I mean, I guess I thought that about Joe Biden too. And then at a certain point, everyone was just like, I don't know, we need to get serious here. I'm scared of progressive politics because those don't perform well. Let's go with the least bad option and just put all our weight behind it.

I think, no, it's just like at this point, it's like, you guys have fucked or the DNC's fucked around so many times. Yeah. We're like, people just do need, like, we just need to be like rowdy, chill. in the classroom and the substitutes trying to get us to calm down. We're like, no, fuck you, you're fucking dumb. Like, this isn't it? Nope, no, no.

I'm like, I can't get control of them. It's like, well, then fucking actually start understanding what people's values are. Because it's really easy. Like the last time that we listened to the Democratic Party about, you know, let's throw a common out the window because that was just a thing where it was like Biden, you know, was like literally shit on stage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, so like when they told us like this is our best option is Biden, we got to go with Biden and look where it landed us.

You know, it's, uh, you know, an inability to lead is, is what the Democratic Party is going to stand on. And then the last time that there is a, you know, uh, progressive candidate going against one of them, it was like, it would take a miracle for this guy to win and be able to lead. And every fucking time, just talking about electoral. viability every fucking time like that both in the primary and in the general just cleaned the floor with their uh you know should should win uh should would be the smart choice option yeah and i think like it's probably it's sequentially it's probably gonna have to happen where we get more of like the like zorans in mayor as office or like yeah ray hong as like mayor in Los Angeles

like people who are absolutely they're like you can tell they're like bro I don't do what the fucking Democrat like the big capital D party is doing although you know like Zoran is trying to be as pragmatic as possible given the state that he's operating but like people need to I think also realize like everything

that the Democrats are standing for is actually just terrible for people and I think there is a version of like well maybe that's the party that like a candidate has to run under to get that but I feel like maybe it It probably is going to require more people who are sort of like the progressives entering office at a congressional level to really get people to fully understand that.

But I don't know. We'll see what happens. And we'll just see how bad it gets where they didn't seem to me just follow and be like, I don't know, man, we just need somebody who knows how to shit post. And that's how an election is going to be won. Shit post in real time. Yeah, exactly. I, yeah.

And at this point, to me, it seems highly unlikely. borderline miraculous that we're not going to get Gavin Newsomers. Oh, shitty candidate. But I'll just say the same thing seemed true to everybody heading into the Zeran race. And it does, I think the thing that has changed since 2020 and, you know,

all the times that this has happened before, uh, is that we've seen how badly the, they actually operate. Yeah. You know? And also I think like actual Democrats also hate their party. Yeah.

Which is very different because it used to be like, well, I'm a Democrat and at least things are right now. I see this all the time, even like with like older family I know or like sort of older Gen X or boomers. We're like, what the fuck are they doing? Yeah. Are they stupid? And I think they, I mean, there's something there's something there to work with. I think unpredictable things are going to happen. Yeah.

So I don't think it's worth it to give up at this point. No, but I think everyone just shit on Gavin Newsom at every opportunity. Yeah, yeah, please. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. In 2023, a story gripped the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. The nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Lepe.

Lucy Letby has been found. But what if we didn't get the whole story? The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast, Doubt the case of Lucy Letby, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it, to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Lettby was. No voicing of any skepticism or doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong.

Listen to Doubt, the case of Lutte. Lucy Letby on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most mysterious and powerful spy agencies in the world. But in 2017, the FBI got inside. This is Special Agent Regal, Special Agent Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea the U.S. government is on to him. But the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary.

Hear how they got it on the Sixth Bureau podcast. I now have several terabytes of an MSS officer, no doubt, no question, of his life. And that's the unicorn. No one had ever seen anything like that.

It was unbelievable. This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes opened its fault of secrets.

When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings. Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you? I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused. Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious. NLP, aka neurolinguistic programming,

is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics, and psychology. Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain. It's about engineering consciousness. Mind games is the story of NLP. It's crazy cast of disciples, and the fake doctor who invented it at a new age commune and sold it to guys in suits. He stood trial for murder and got acquitted. The biggest mind game of all, NLP, might actually work.

And it's like, oh, yeah, I get it. I see what he's doing here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it could be. It could be. I mean, he's just hit 60% disapproval for the first time. So, yeah, man, I mean, a lot of people, you know, I'm sure within the White House are like, we got, this is the opportunity to really change the narrative. But who's our mouthpiece, a bat shit racist freak who's probably going to say something.

weird about the Epstein files very quickly. So, I mean, yeah, I think it's safe to say that the speech will probably most likely be a lot of finger pointing and blaming for why the country is falling into further shambles under his leadership. It's not going to be any accountability. We already know that. That's like, that's just not going to happen. I believe the U.S. men's hockey team will be there.

The women's team who also won gold, they're doing the thing where they want to be on the right side of history and you know they were like they had a very like diplomatically worded thing we're like oh we're honored but you know because of people's commitments um professional and educational like we won't be able to make it in other words it's definitely a known for me dog um and good for them good for them especially after that fucking weird call with cash patel democrats kind of like sort of split on what to do hakeem jeffreys like maybe let's not boo or like be a distraction like You know, it's like, let's be respect. I was like, just shut up.

Let's be respectful. That's the main thing we need to worry about is Democrats. As this guy who is, you know, the most named person in the Epstein files. Yeah, exactly. Is up there in front of people pretending to exist in a reality that everybody knows is bullshit. Let's be respectful. Respecting decorum with this group or bipartisanship with this group is collaboration at this point. You know what I mean?

Like, it's just, there's like another here. this is another, this is from the hill. It's his Democratic leader scrambling to prevent repeat of last year's rowdy state of the union. They're encouraging their troops to protest the president. How it's done, however, remains a sensitive topic. Dude, fucking shout this man down. This would be like, if you were like a sports coach, you're like, hey, man, they're one player. You can get under his skin.

And once you get under his skin, bro, he, the whole, he's lost the whole game. You know how like you can, you know, sometimes you feel like teams like target a player to get under their skin and just throw them off. White man can't jump rules. Exactly. You actually play worse when you're angry. So I'm going to make you angry. Where's Gloria? Okay.

Get Rosie Perez in here. But like I think, anyway, fucking yell at him, do whatever you want. Fools that start with the letter Q. But I think, yeah, this, some people are going to be there. Some are just completely skipping out. There's going to be a rally, I think, at the mall.

Just as like sort of counter, a counter program to whatever lies. fest this is going to be. But we still don't even know what, like, J.D. Vance said that Trump's going to, quote, focus his speech on the economy touting a Trump boom that will bring manufacturing jobs

back to the United States and reduce energy costs for American households. We've never heard that one before. Is that we're just kind of pushing that one back? In 2016. Deadline back on that one. You said that in your first term. We're bringing the job. Really? Really?

It's been a historical disaster in that respect. And like I think again, everything, it's going to be like every other speech, like a spooky tale filled with racist bullshit and threats against his ops. And it's going to do very little to convince even his base that any kind of tangible like economic relief is on the way or even possible. Like telling people about a Trump boom as in at this point. You're saying, yo, shit's actually really good. No, it isn't. Yeah, the economy's bad. That's what you're saying. And that's actually a conspiracy theory. The affordability is a conspiracy.

Affordability is actually an op. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a sci-op, bro. Yeah. It's like Cointel Pro. You know what I mean? Affordability. This is diabolical.

And then like the energy cost, that sounds like a justification for Venezuelan intervention. That's right. You'd be like, it's that's right. Even though don't ask where the money goes, it's to an offshore account in Qatar. It's very opaque, how that's handled and who the funds actually go to. It's me.

It's me. But yeah, I'm just trying to get my chips up before I'm ran out of here on a rail. So, Russia, here I come. Here we go. All right. So we'll be back tomorrow to, I guess, tomorrow afternoon's episode, we'll review what was covered in the state of the union. Yeah, yeah, new trends. Yeah.

I'm sure. You know, I mean, because last time, what, he did the thing where he was like, and look at this young black child. He wants to be a cop. I'm going to. He has brain cancer. folks he had he had the cancer but now he's a cop right now and like everyone was like you just got in health care you yeah yeah oh you hate this child is that what you're saying they

they hate you because they ain't you fucked up fucked up bro stay strong stay strong little homie exactly man i hope you're nice with the steel bring you keep if you know what i mean exactly the only piece of black culture that he's aware of is regulated All right.
