I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the psychology podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denials easier. Complex problem solving takes effort. Listen to the psychology. podcast on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get

Yer. Yep. Exactly. That's all I have to say. this is the trending episode that we record Wednesday morning now 1040 on the Pacific coast

we're doing it right on the coast overlooking some waves some surfers oh wow look at that guy whoa whoa look at that kook gets slammed you know what I'm saying hey shut up you look you watch that you look at that account kook slams I mean you told me about it

yeah I mean it's watching people eat shit on the surfboard is watching people people eat shit generally is just the purest form of shot and frode i think you can it definitely comes from the dark part of my heart know that like knows that that would be me if i ever tried that shit and so like that i laugh extra hard you're cautious enough that you're not going to be like let me try and just like try and surf a like a 10 foot wave with no experience like some of these people use get really gassed up on there bend over backwards

actually other guys are just novice surfers who are way they're in over their heads literally yeah yeah I'm just like loser didn't didn't know what he was doing on that one did he check this out got real turned around anyways let's tell the people was trending yeah um did I say my name's Jack

that's my Mr. Miles Gray yeah you did uh oh yeah do you hit your head surfing again yeah yeah yeah you said that it's been bad I did when I was back east I got smashed into body surfing and uh I looked cool doing it

uh so this happened to you every year i feel like every time you come back from the the ocean there out there you're like oh man i got slammed body surfing drive into the floor of the ocean by the wave yeah i think i've told this story 30 times but there's no way to know because uh i mean i will have no short-term memory i'm your work life partner and i go once where he goes again he got slammed body surfing all right uh donald trump went out to eat that's big news he made the the rare move of going out to a restaurant. I don't think he's ever done this before, but I think that was the point.

He went out to prove that he fixed crime in Washington, D.C., with his National Guard takeover. And, yeah, I guess it's like three minutes from the White House, Joe's seafood, prime steak, and stone crab. Is that the same as Joe's stone crab that they have in, like, Florida? That's, like, the famous one? No idea. matter absolutely no idea it the inside looks like a place that it said prime steak and seafood like

just like the wooden wood wood wood wood walled walls a bunch of white people who yeah we're probably so excited to be near donald trump and seen they got they got those little uh knife blade things that they scoop the crumbs off for you with oh yeah you know what i mean oh man real steakhouse shit I hate going to it like the time you go to like a fancy restaurant where they're like a white tablecloth restaurant They're doing too much Well not just that I eat like a fucking slob

So like by the time they come on my brother Look it's stained to hell There's so many crumbs like let's not Let's not act like this is getting cleaner right now This is gonna look like a murder scene here pretty soon So let's let's quit with the bread scourge How didn't you get so much blood everywhere Where did this brown come from?

I bit my finger. I was so hungry. Have you ever been eating so fast that you bite your own finger? Yeah. I did that recently actually. It was my own lip so often. But biting your own finger is a whole new level of just like. I always bite my lip.

Yeah. I'm chomping. I don't care what gets in there. It's Chomp City. I did it so bad like three weeks ago actually. Eating like the last bit of a taco. Or like I was. I was like, I put the whole thing in your mouth before closed mouth.

And I was like, and I just caught my index finger. And anyway, what happened to Donald Trump? You didn't say the magic word. Dickhead. Didn't get that finger out of there. Sloppy, aren't we? That is, my kids just finally watched Jurassic Park. And the thing they can't get over is just the nedri.

Ah, ah, ah. You didn't say the magic word. That's just going off in our house right now. Did they like the night vision goggles? that was my favorite thing. No, I don't think that made any impression at all with them. You know why? It's because these kids have too much fucking technology around them.

They're like, whatever. They had to take off their own night vision goggles to watch the movie. We're all just walking around with our house with fucking night vision goggles. Why are he so big and, you know, just cumbersome? God, are they heavy? Then they're expensive, put them back. No, they had already seen night vision goggles in, uh, Silence of the lambs, so they weren't as impressed.

Anyways, nothing says man to the people quite like grabbing a $108 steak. Incidentally, the restaurant's website notes that they've added a 3.5% surcharge to all checks as a way to offset rising costs. That's right. That's crazy. They did say it like that on the menu. They're clearly making a reference to offset. Wow.

But yeah, that's a new thing that I guess is happening. Just no specific references to what's causing these costs to rise. Certainly not in a restaurant where Donald Trump would go eat. But they got to be up front. They're like, look, bro, we got to charge you this tariff tax on top of the on top of the corporate greed tax. It is what it is. I saw like a clip of him arriving at the restaurant and the press was there. And immediately someone was like, was that your signature on that?

Epstein birthday card he's like absolutely not it's not me i never i don't even talk like that anyone knows who i don't even never speak like that right you've you've seen my playwriting you know that i my dialogue is much more uh rat attached than that it's not as meandering you went to the premiere of my one man off broadway show in 1987 you know where i'm at as a playwright um so yeah anyway yeah he enjoyed he enjoyed it for a second it look like yeah yeah he can't he he showed up. He proudly proclaimed that there's virtually no crime now. Teased the announcement of the next city he'll be invading as if it's like a fun contest and not a military occupation. Yeah, yeah. And then protesters from the activist group, Code Pink confronted Trump's dinner party

chaining free Palestine. Trump is the Hitler of our time. Free, free Palestine. Free D.C., free Palestine. Trump is a Hitler of our time. Pretty good. The video is, I I just can't believe that you could be within a lugee distance of Donald Trump. It was legible. Oh, it was lugubrious, you know, truly. This clip, though, it is wild to just see him have to, like, endure this, too. I'm like, walk right by their ass. He pulls up right to this one, and then at a certain point, he's, like, had it.

He's like, all right, get him out. Get him out. Get him out of here. He's like, oh, look, his face. He's given like a smug smile. He's pointing. He's so weak. Get him out. It is weird that he had to tell the Secret Service to get them out.

They were like, I don't know. They kind of got bars, Mr. President. We're going to kind of let him ride with this. I mean, I mean, they are aligned with pro-Russian talking points. So maybe they are on our side, Mr. President, I don't know. Kind of a weird relationship to Russia. But Anna Paulina Luna, who's, I guess, a mega loyalist, claimed the Secret Service is compromised. It needs to be looked into because of, like, how close they got.

Anna Paulina Luna is the one who's, like, America's fucking gay. And then, like, use, like, a flamethrower. Like, that's her whole thing. There are multiple of those people, I believe. Yeah. I mean, when you have no imagination and no actual, like, values of your own and you just have to like become like this simulated version of a maga person. It's like, I think I just scream racist, homophobic stuff with a gun.

Yes. And then I become a congressperson. And there you are. There you are. It does feel like a fun new direction for them to just be like, we can't trust the Secret Service when he goes out into the streets. I mean, he definitely needs to go out into the streets to prove that he won the war on DC crime. And also, we can't, he can't bring the Secret Service because they're in on it with the bad guys. I'm just saying, that's a fun direction for them to explore.

I'm so glad. As somebody who has family in Washington, D.C., and I go there frequently to see my in-laws, I'm being, I don't know if you've been around the White House, it is so unsafe in the area around the White House. It's unbelievably unsafe. And I'm pretty sure this restaurant is a fucking block away from there. and you're using that place in proximity to the fucking White House to be like and it's all safe now

motherfucker there was never a fucking problem except for the one that you created but yeah I'm glad to see honestly it was really nice to see how uncomfortable he was to because usually when people boo they're like at least 70 feet away yeah yeah

when he goes get him out when he had to gesture I was like oh you have had it but yeah I don't know how they got so close. Like, people were like, how did they know he was going to be there? Like, any place that he's going has to undergo secret service, like, security sweeps for 24 hours beforehand. So, like, it's huge. It's just how they, like, they didn't just like pop out, like, decide to pop out over for

a quick bite to eat. No. It's, well, it's because they have to be so ignorant of everything. They don't even, they're not even aware of just general security protocols for moving the president around. Right. Like, how did they know? I don't know. Was it like the 700,000 armed cars that are parked outside too? Right. I do wonder, like, is he trying to provoke something? Like, now all of a sudden he's like going out into the streets.

Like, I just, I don't know, we put himself at risk like that. He wouldn't. But at the same time, I do feel like he's got the like God complex after the assassination attempt where he's just like, I'm fucking invisible, a dance between bullets, bitch. Yeah. I think, I mean, I don't know if he could be. Maybe that's just like an added bonus, but I definitely see like the senile old powerful man thing where they're like, sir, we can't go. He's like, I want to go for a walk to the restaurant now.

And they're like, fuck. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Alternatively, it could be that the military occupation was just so he can feel comfortable enough to go to a seafood restaurant. The whole thing was just that. Yeah. That's also, that's also potentially a thing. Laura Lumer, though, blamed Hamas for them being there, which I thought was very clever. Their reach knows no bounds.

Hamas has compromised. Poisoned the minds of white women in Washington, D.C., to now scream out free Palestine. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. A foot washed up a shoe with some bones in it. They had no idea who it was. Most everything was burned up pretty good. from the fire that not a whole lot was salvageable.

These are the coldest of cold cases, but everything is about to change. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA. Right now in a backlog will be identified in our lifetime. A small lab in Texas is cracking the code on DNA. Using new scientific tools, they're finding clues in evidence so tiny you might just miss it. He never thought he was going to get caught. And I just looked at my computer screen. I was just like, ah, gotcha.

On America's Crime Lab, we'll learn about victims and survivors. And you'll meet the team behind the scenes at Othrum, the Houston Lab that takes on the most hopeless cases to finally solve the unsolvable. Listen to America's Crime Lab on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I had this overwhelming sensation that I had to call it right then. And I just hit call, said, you know, hey, I'm Jacob Schick.

I'm the CEO of One Tribe Foundation, and I just wanted to call on and let her know. There's a lot of people battling some of the very same things you're battling. And there is help out there. The Good Stuff Podcast, Season 2, takes a deep look into One Tribe Foundation, a non-profit fighting suicide in the veteran community. September is National Suicide Prevention Month, so join host Jacob and Ashley Schick as they bring you to the front lines of One Tribe's mission. I was married to a combat army veteran.

and he actually took his own life to suicide. One tribe saved my life twice. There's a lot of love that flows through this place and it's sincere. Now it's a personal mission. Don't want to have to go to any more funerals, you know. I got blown up on a React mission. I ended up having amputation below the knee of my right leg and a traumatic brain injury because I landed on my head.

Welcome to Season 2 of the Good Stuff. Listen to the Good Stuff podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth. Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York State number, and we own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps, are short-term, highly regimented correctional

programs that mimic military basic training. These programs aim to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was so overwhelming, and you don't know who's next to you. And we didn't know what to expect in the morning. Nobody tells you anything. Listen to shock incarceration on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Super Secret Bestie Club podcast season four is here.

And we're locked in. That means more juicy chisement. Terrible love advice. Evil spells to cast on your ex. No, no, no, no. We're not doing that this season. Oh. Well, this season, we're leveling up.

Each episode will feature a special bestie, and you're not going to want to miss it. Get in here. Today we have a very special guest with us. Our new Super Secret Bestie is The Diva of the People. The Diva of the People. The Diva of the People. People. I'm just like text your ex.

My theory is that if you need to figure out that the stove is hot, go and touch it. Go and figure it out for yourself. Okay. That's us. That's us. My name is Curley. And I'm Maya. In each episode, we'll talk about love, friendship, heart breaks, men, and of course, our favorite secrets.

Listen to the Super Secret Bestie Club as a part of the Michael Thura podcast network available on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever. before you get your podcast and we're back and let's speed run some shit did we talk about the reaction to one battle after another no what reaction that just they had a screening Steven Spielberg was like the interviewed Paul Thomas Anderson afterwards

oh it's just like crazy glowing a lot of like people who saw it were like oh this is going to win best picture Steven Spielberg compared it to Dr. Strange Love. What? And was like, this is like exactly the movie we need right now. Which I was also like just driving around L.A., they're advertising it like it's a blockbuster. Have you noticed that?

It's like on bus stops. I haven't seen any. No, I haven't seen any. Yeah, they have like bus stop signs for the new, this is the new Paul Thomas Anderson movie. With Leonardo DiCaprio. Yeah, with Leonardo DiCaprio as like a former revolutionary whose daughter is kidnapped by a fascist cop played by Sean Pem. But yeah, it seemed like it was just going to be like

kind of an awards baity thing. And like he's like, you know, first of all, the first hour is like jam packed with action. Like you're not normally an action director, but it's like really cool. I will just say the one, like when I realized it is an action movie and they're

like marketing it as such. Like I was trying to think back of like Paul Thomas Anderson action scenes. And there's there is that firecracker scene in Boogie Nights. That's an action. scene and that shit is wild like it's just printed on my brain. I mean, even think

about the donut shop shop robbery. Yeah, the donut shop robbery also. Yeah. That's also like his, when he does violence, it's very like it's violent and it's quick. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Some of the oil rigs scene. There will be blood. There will be

blood. It's all very memorable. So if he's just doing like a straight up action movie, which seems to be how they're marketing it, um, That could be interesting. I'm just saying I talk a lot about Dr. Strangelove and that seemed to be the movie that it made Steven Spielberg, some guy named Steven Spielberg think about after seeing it for the first time. Part of me is like, I'm very curious when someone as wealthy is Steven Spielberg is like,

this is the exact kind of movie we need. What does that mean, dude? He's proposing a centrist solution that we can all get behind. Right. But I know, like the fact that it's. based on Thomas Pinchon novel also suggests that it's probably not going to be not have like centrist politics. I don't think you imagine he like completely alters the script and he's like in the end I was

mistaken for my revolutionary acts. What a poor choice I made. All right. Let's speed run some media news. CBS, which, you know, had to had to make some concessions to get that merger done with Yeah, that's sweet blessing from the FCC. That is behind them now. You know, they might have had to kill a couple 60 minutes stories, but that's behind them now.

Give Trump millions of dollars. You know. That's behind them now. And, okay, one of the things they agreed to was to have an ombudsman who is like sort of somebody who helps review issues, like kind of an outsider who comes in and like, is like, objective. Hey, I'm just calling balls and strikes here. you guys have an issue this is what I'm here to do so any journalistic questions

can go to this person a lot of times it's just like somebody who's like wanna Pulitzer you know like has like incredible journalistic credentials and they've gone with a conservative think tank CEO Kenneth Weinstein yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

so you have a now a right wing freak with no journalism background whatsoever being the arbiter of truth at CBS News. Yeah. Wee! Yeah.

The way they describe it is like he will now report directly to the president of Paramount and then quote, any complaints deemed worthy of attention will be passed along to Shell and Paramount's chair of TV media, George Cheeks. Should the trio, quote, collectively determine that such outreach is necessary, Weinstein, Shell, and Cheeks will address the complaint with the president and executive editor who will recommend and implement any necessary action steps. Sounds good to me. Oh, wow.

No notes. I mean, you already had the thing. too when like christie gnome was like they didn't they altered my interview that i gave uh to cbs news and didn't didn't do a oneer on your interview you mean or took out the parts where you're just lying and saying absolutely libelous nonsense you know because you know they are sure so yeah this bodes well for everybody anyway cbs now is cooked cbs is compromised uh fox news not compromised thank god Yeah, Fox News.

So there was, this is like one of those, um, centrist lib pipe dreams that there was going to be a succession struggle and Rupert Murdoch's kids were going to like take Fox News over and like send it in a liberal direction, stop being so evil. And, uh, that is not happening. They have officially, uh, decided that Lockland Murdoch, who is, I think, the eldest boy is going to take over for his father. He's just like a

conservative clone of his dad. No, no intrigue here. And then like the other the other kids that even had even slightly different politics, they just got bought out. Yeah, they just got bought out. They're just like, there you go, just shut the fuck up. As the Hollywood reporter article put it, they're over a billion dollars more liquid

today than they were before. Yeah, I was like, what is the success? What's the right succession metaphor here? Because like not Kendall or like, you know, I guess it would be like a combination of Roman and Tom, right? Like right wing people who are just going to keep it going in the same direction because they knew that that's what their dad would want.

Yeah. So now, yeah, both CBS, Paramount Fox, 20th century Fox, MSG, all of its properties are all being run by the billionaire children of billionaires. which, in my experience, the most functionally incompetent humans just emotionally and intellectually that you could... I think that's unfair to tell us, for somebody who knows zero struggle, does not know oppression of any kind, does not know struggle in any way, would make a bad boss. I just think they're looking at things differently in a way that I just can't. Did you ever just meet like really rich kids, like generationally, like really wealthy? kids like they're some of the strangest fucking people I've ever encountered man they're they don't

live on the same planet no you know like because you like it's like making an alien in a lot of cases yeah like they there's a certain level of wealth like because i went to school with like like the kids of celebrities and stuff and some were like normal then it's like the parents who have more money or more pop in like these kids had zero life skills right at all like they they wouldn't know how to call the city to get trapped. Like, they don't know how to do like anything except to consume. Yeah. That's all they know.

Right. And to like scream and call their mom like a bitch in front of us and be like, oh shit, dude. You get away with that? Fuck? He's like, yeah, dude. Fuck that. Anyway, you want a Nintendo 64? Do I got like five?

They love harem pants for some reason in my experience. Anyways. Who are you hanging out with it? Yeah, I was in reality. A lot as a kid. Yeah. No, just New York City.

Just went to, my friend was like, yeah, I went to like prep school with this kid. We're going to go to his place. And, kid,

harem pants on? Oh, yeah. And like, just the strangest, the strangest, the strangest vibes. Eve ever.

Yeah, straight up. Like, what is that happening? What is this, dude? What are 28? Congruous vibes that are coming together

in, in this person. Because it's true, I do what I want, vibes. Yeah, exactly. I'll wear hair and pants

with the Davy Crockett hat in a shirt that says cunt on the front. Literally, there's nothing anyone could or would do about it. The good news is, so Larry Ellison, the father of the guy who... David Ellison, yeah. ...is the CEO of Skydance, just took over as the richest man in the world. Oh, hell yeah, boy. So he's the founder of Oracle, and Oracle just had a strong earnings report Tuesday.

because they are like involved in a lot of people are using their resources because of AI and so they had a strong earnings report and now his wealth jumped by $101 billion in a single day so now he has $393 billion dollars which put him ahead of Elon Musk hell yeah this is this is the future we get to just like root for which billion billionaire we like. Yes, yes, yes, yes. And they're all fascists. Right, exactly.

And a fucking single one of them has a fucking soul. But hey, you don't get $393 billion having a fucking heart, do you? Nah. Less good earnings report news. And we do love to talk about earnings reports on this. Got to talk about it, guys. Apple launched their thinnest iPhone ever. And everybody was like, where's everything?

Like, where's all the other stuff that would be, like, fun or cool to use. I don't think you know how thin this is. It's as thin as another cell phone would be. Oh, what else? It's just really thin. There's some new watches, but like this one's so fucking thin. Yeah, they had their annual like, look at the new shit we got event in Cooper Tino yesterday.

New shit. And I looked at some of the shit. It's like, yeah, okay, there's a new, like they added a, they went up one number on the iPhone to now 17, but I'm not like, and the back looks different on the pro. And I'm like, dude, the cameras have been fucking really good for ages now. I don't know what. Back when like they were just the only one doing it or still coasting off of like the fact that they had done it. And yeah, now people are just like, I don't know, man. Because everyone just kind of have us hooked. Yeah. And everyone says, y'all haven't done shit since the iPad, realistically. Like, what are we talking about? I mean, like sure,

AirPods, but that's not really that remarkable, given, you know, the technology is so pervasive. But yeah, the, the big thing was, like, this stock price went down because all these investors were not pleased with the lack of AI developments. You barely mentioned AI, like, three times per paragraph, which is what we demand at this point in any earnings call. So, yeah, we're going to have to be out on this one. We're cool. We're cooling our jets on Apple, folks. That's what we're going to tell our clients. But again, I mean, it's just so funny how Wall Street moves. Like, there's always some buzzword thing that everyone's like,

that public traded company has to embrace like Metaverse, NFTs? How do we show people like we're modern? And these things end up becoming absolute zeros in terms of like use cases. And now it's AI. So you have to utter the words AI for the investors to be like, yes, okay, you figured it out because you're helping prop up the other stocks I own and like Nvidia and things like that. Right. And it seems like the AI thing is, like, it's being used. That's the one thing that you can say for it. Like, that's what Oracle, like, Oracle, it's not, it's not that Oracle was like, and look at this amazing, like, new interface or, you know, something that we can do with AI. It's just like a lot of people are using AI. AI consumes incredible amount of resources. And so they need us. And that those are the things that are like making people a lot of money right now.

It's not anything that's being done by AI yet. No, no, no, no, no. Because as we've seen, none of these companies are profitable. And they're all, they're like, they're doing like the same thing like Elon would do like, oh my God, this next one's like, it's going to be so sick, dude. It's like, I mean, it's like, people are going to fucking hurt themselves. It's so good. Like, even more than the last one that was causing people to harm themselves.

Right. Um, all right. Uh, finally, Israel bombed Doha, uh, as Hamas leaders met to consider a ceasefire proposal. weird so yeah just complete mask off as has been the case no interest in the ceasefire no interest in a de-escalation Israel can now add cutter to the list of sovereign nations it is attacked without justification what a year for israel huh yeah um yeah bombed the capital killing six and hamas said that none of their targeted leadership was killed so who would the six people be just just innocent other people probably i mean whatever uh Israel doesn't care they're gonna bomb

whoever the fuck they want to because again they're all in on this and we're gonna give them the bombs baby dude there was this thing because there's like the um the Gaza humanitarian foundation is like that thing that's like the u.s like is being backed by the u.s and stuff like this is where people are getting killed constantly trying to get aid from there was a fucking report i just saw that there are like American anti-Islamic biker gang members who are running security at these aid sites in Gaza

in Gaza like this the infidels biker gang like they're like they're they're like we found at least nine of these people are working security there and like the humanitarian foundation is like whatever they do with their hobbies or affiliates has nothing to do with this like they are in a hate group right but they call themselves a

biker gang and you just could maybe just like well i don't know they're in a biker gang oh they're an anti-islamic biker gang i don't know look they're they're really good at shooting guns yeah very very just wacky shit happening yeah this just seems to be the i mean so again this is like you know a war crime much as the uh you know u s bombing of that boat of alleged drug smugglers um was illegal they were civilians uh the new york times is now reporting reporting that that boat had turned around was like, oh, we seem to be being tracked, we're turning around. So like the entire argument that they were making, which was like very shaky in the first place.

Didn't matter. Even if they were, a boat with drugs on it is not a fucking missile. Right. But Trump announced the strike saying it took place in international waters. It killed 11 people who he said were transporting drugs headed to the United States. and we're part of a Venezuelan gang and he still no evidence to support those assertions

other than he said we have tapes of them speaking and yeah so legal specialists were like you know that's not an argument and then even if you accept the premise for the sake of argument if the boat had already turned away

that would further undermine a already argument that like doesn't even begin to make sense in a court of law. So yeah, there's that. There's that. Did you also see the North Korean?

Oh my God. The SEAL Team 6 boxed operation? Yes. Where they were trying to like implant a listening device on North Korean soil. Seal Team 6 like, you know, did a beach landing. And a boat of North Korean fishermen like arrived to be, see. what was going on, presumably being like, oh, do these people have a good place to catch shellfish, which is what they were going for,

and SEAL Team 6, instead of like, you know, zip tying them or doing whatever the military would do in a movie, proceeded to kill them all, shoot them all, and then puncture their lungs with knives so that their bodies would sink so they wouldn't be discovered right away.

Yeah. Like, yeah. Yeah. This is, I mean, what the fuck? Whatever. I mean, like, every time I'm like, I thought this is this is shit that ends administrations usually right yeah yeah I mean but and this is and by the way the person who told this story the the sources who told this story did so not because they're like this is a really crazy story that happened during the Trump administration they did it like on a they said their decision to provide details was out of concern that the US military special operations failures are often hidden by the government secrecy so like this is what is happening on a regular basis and oh sure i mean it's i just yeah i think more and more we're getting like a

clearer picture of what like there there's that new book uh the fort brag cartel that depicts these you know military operator teams that like all they do is just like go around storm different places in the name of american empire and just murder civilians like yeah it's i was talking when you were out and we had the blank check guys on i was talking about how there's not, like, the least depicted wars in, like, movies, I feel like the one that I have the least clear image of from movies are the wars that are, like, happening, that have been happening for the past 25 years. And the only ones that have, like, broken through are, like, zero dark 30, the hurt locker, American sniper. And, like, those are ones where they, like,

had to bend it to be like, this is trying to kill bin Laden. Yeah, right. Exactly. Just do a memoir from a guy who was like lying about everything um but yeah i think more and more we're getting a clear idea that i just i don't think the general public wants to admit because they're just like i don't know i respond at least with vietnam there were like protests with this it's just like yeah i don't know man we don't like to think about it yeah well i mean you're the american people are fed a steady diet of like these people are our warrior angel people like and i think it takes a long time for that kind of bullshit to melt away to kind of see like, no, these are usually like poor people in the U.S. that are coerced into joining the military to prop up the empire.

And it's, I don't know what we're getting in return because it only seems like bad shit constantly. Bad shit. All right. That is what is trending this afternoon. We are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves.
