I'm just taking a... I feel like there's something happening with my brain where every time I hear one of these, I was like, it was just that two days ago. But maybe it was... Oh, right, right, right. We heard somebody say that pasta was whack, and so we were having a long conversation about pasta. I don't know.

Oh, yeah. That was Mark schindler yeah the basketball writer who's like anti-pasta it's all scrambled eggs up here folks it's all it's all gone uh yeah it's national pasta day national mulligan day black poetry day national edge day and world trauma day i don't know i'm trying to figure out what is national edge day is it for edging just oh for straight edge yo oh if you got the black x's bro if you're not now you never were that's how the straight edge homies talk around me so shout out to the straight edge people do they not even smoke cigarettes they don't't do anything. I mean, pretty, yeah. No, it's a clean

lifestyle. It's a clean lifestyle. It's like Boy Scouts definition of nothing. No drugs, no drinking, none of it. Just do it. Yeah, dude. Just refrain, bro. Yo, it's so appropriate also that it's National Mulligan Day because we actually did that rendition of what days it is twice.

So we took a mulligan on National Mulligan day because we had we had a internet delay incredible uh we're really look at us live in national mulligan day to the fullest well anyways my name is jack o'brien aka too fastly too furious that is from martian tech i think it is a reference to the fact that i used the word fastly on an episode, which is not a word. You don't need to add the L-Y, but I think it should be a word. Yeah. Sometimes you just need to add the L-Y.

It just feels like you need it. Adverbify whatever you want. Exactly. And I mean, fast doesn't need it to be an adverb, but it doesn't hurt unless you want people to think you're smart. Fastly, fastly, fastly. Yeah, do it fastly, sir. Anyways, I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray! It's Miles Gray, a.k.a. It was all a dream.

I used to read Tiger Beat magazine. Shacking Aaron C. up in the limousine. Yeah. Moss Ridden Void Bellower at Void Ridden on Twitter. Thanks for that one because, yeah, I still can't get that Aaron Carter video out of my mind. Yeah. Oh, it's there for good. It's the worst thing I've ever seen.

It's part of who we are, Miles. Shout out the homie Kylie who works with Hugo on his campaign. She tweeted at me. She's like, I saw Aaron Carter perform in 2013, and he opened with How I Beat Shaq, and the crowd went wild. Wow. That was in Iowa. Yeah. I mean, that was in Iowa, too.

Yeah, they were feeling it. They felt that. That is a classic. I'm surprised it didn't even hit. I mean, I was probably a little bit too old for to be noticing what aaron carter was up to at the time that that song came out but it seems like a a real slam dunk of a of a premise you know like a parents just don't understand for exactly for the ought yeah just it turns out talent is important having yeah Will Smith perform a straightforward premise is a little bit better than Aaron Carter.

Anyways, Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a very funny comedian whose writing has appeared to McSweeney's and whose comedy has been highlighted in NPR Vulture, the LA Times, one of Illuminative's 25 Native American comedians to follow. And you can catch him on Friday, November 11th at 10 p.m. hosting Thanks But No Thanksgiving at Dynasty Typewriter. Please welcome back to the show the hilarious and talented Brian Bahi. Welcome. What's up? Happy National Edge Day. Yes.

National. We can celebrate however you want. You can celebrate? Happy National Edge Day. Yes. Yeah. National. And we can celebrate however you want. You can celebrate by being a straight edge, or you can celebrate by edging, you know, as we do on this side. Completely, it's up to you. But Brian, wait. Brian, you moved out to LA, right?

I moved out to LA. I'm writing on this animated show on Fox called The Great North. Watch it on Sundays. Yeah. 7 p.m. Pacific. That's from the people who do Bob's Burgers, right? Yeah.

Shout out, Lauren, Wendy, Lizzie. Just all the people from work. Everybody there. Man, so I just because I remember, yeah, when I think you didn't you like throw up a pic of your office?

Because you'd be writing now? Yeah, I threw up a pic. Yeah. Let people know that I can read. And they don't use words like fastly. Yeah, there's rumors out there and you got to, you know, keep separate sometimes. Just dead the rumors immediately for sure. Yeah.

How are you finding LA? You like it? Love it, right? Everybody moves from the East Coast back to LA. They love it. I do.

I do love it. Oh, good. I do love it. Okay. There's a lot of I did try to get dinner last night. Everything closed

at 10 p.m. though. So I will say that is an error on the city's end. That mistake. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's something we're trying to change. No, I don't think we are.

And that's why you need to vote this November. Yeah. Oh, at the very least, yeah. Maybe there will be something on the ballot to be like, can you just be open a little bit fucking later? There is, I live in West Hollywood, there's a lot of signs up for it's like elect Steve Martin,

and I'm just like, is Steve Martin running for local office? Wait a second. The banjo logo? It's a pretty normal name, but I feel like I would have noticed that if he was really running. Someone named Steve Martin. Someone named Steve Martin. Yeah, i i like walk do a couple laps around the block just to get my blood

pumping every every once in a while in the morning and today i did it like a little bit earlier and realized that everybody in in la is like up and out by like seven in the morning like there it was packed it was jam-packed at like 7.45, whereas I normally do it at 9 and it's just me and one old guy. Damn. So many people on

walking their dogs. LA loves to go to bed early, wake up in the morning bright and early with the dogs and just walk around. City's a mess. Exactly. All right, Brian, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.

First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about. We're talking about more evidence that January 6th was a plan all along for Trump and that it was a cynical plan that he at no point believed that he actually won the election. We're going to talk about the black vote with regards to the Pennsylvania Senate race. Oz v. Fetterman. Yeah, some real people as props type shit going on over there. Yeah, and we will talk about why the police are a bad idea. All of that. Plenty more. But first, Brian, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history? Alicia Cuthbert.

Cuthbert? I don't know if you remember her. She was like, she was. You mean Cuthbert? Isn't it Cuthbert? Is it? With a T? Maybe. Alicia Cooper. She was on 24. Yeah, she was on 24 yeah she was on 24 she was

in that weezer music video yeah it's yeah kuthbert i think it was with a t i like kuthberg it's alicia i think alicia alicia like alicia alicia kuthbert who is oh man you're throwing like some swedish intonation in there. Yeah. You know why I said it? Because one time I met her in, like, the aughts, or somebody introduced me, and they said Cuthbert. Cuthbert. And I was like, oh, for real?

And I don't know if they were mistaken. I don't know if they were, like, mispronouncing. But then I've always been unsettled on how to say her name because the one time someone introduced, like, we in this oh yeah alicia kuthbert's over there we'll say what's up i was like and i think i always pronounce it as elijah for some reason even though that's not the right that's not right but i was like alicia what are you guys talking about it's elijah like the character in the bible it's elijah khberg yeah this is why google exists yeah yeah so where are you looking at uh our our main home our queen early aughts queen yeah we do this game at lunch called the movie game i'm sure you've heard of it where you like you list an actor a movie and then

you and if somebody says a movie you have to name an actor in that, and then you... If somebody says a movie, you have to name an actor in that movie, and then you have to name a movie from that actor, and it keeps going on and on until elimination... Until somebody gets eliminated. I have never won this game. I'm bad at it. And it's punishable by death, right? When you lose, that's how...

It's punishable by death. The closest I ever got was this week. I was given Alicia Cuthbert. Cuthbert? Elijah. Elijah Cuthbert. Elijah Cuthbert. I was given Elijah Cuthbert.

Alicia Cuthbert. And I knew she was in a movie I had seen, but I couldn't think of the title. And then, so that was what it was based on. Somebody said old, old school. Then I think I said old school.

The other person said, um, Elijah, Elijah Kuthberg. Yeah. And then I was like, what is that other movie? I couldn't remember.

I lost. So I immediately Googled, Googledberg. Yeah. And then I was like, what is that other movie? I couldn't remember. I lost. So I immediately Googled, Googled her. Right. And she was in two, two kind of big movies that were pretty pivotal to my, you know, adolescence.

Not really girl next door. I saw that. Yeah. All right. Yep. And then house of wax. Oh yeah. And then that's Wax. Oh, yeah. And then that's kind of it for that was a wrap on Kuth.

On the Kuth. We're a wrap on Kuth. Just as a career here in Hollywood. Yeah. She was blown off the screen by the screen acting debut of Paris Hilton. And I think from that point forward you know we just haven't looked back we've been like paris hilton is a film star i mean who could forget repo right genetic opera or whatever that was i actually don't know what you're talking about so apparently you don't

know repo the genetic opera uh-uh repo the genetic opera was like this fucking horror musical that like paul sorvino is in and also uh paris hilton yeah i haven't i haven't seen that i'm sorry that was just like a meme i felt like in pop you can really end the game with uh repo the next time you're playing the game oh yeah paul sorvino gets pulled yo brian put that one in the yeah put that one in your pocket for the next one all right if you ever get paul sorvino fucking alexa vega from spy kids oh wow paris hilton you could deploy that paul sorvino father of mira yeah yeah yeah nina dobrev i think is also on it damn paul sorvino's in goodfellas is that correct? yeah I'm just trying to chain it back to like some movies that might be thrown out during the thing so

we can arm Brian with the ability to pull Repo Brian your next like the strategy of the next one is you try and seed different answers to eventually get to Paul Sorvino so you can throw out Repo the genetic opera and fucking dead it

dead it from there 2008 wow yeah I totally missed that what is something Brian that you think is overrated I touched on this a little bit I think that overrated breakfast sandwiches

in LA breakfast sandwiches in LA I feel like everywhere I go to get a breakfast sandwich or just get food they have a breakfast sandwich on the menu and it's always like it's good I'll say I'll give it that

but it's always just like an egg and like a meat and like mixed greens on like a decent bread with like some sauce right and i'm like i this is good but i'm also like and it comes with like a side salad and i'm just like why does every place have this right yeah it's funny when i when you say that i'm like well i mean i feel like new york new york got the better breakfast sandwiches yeah like because they feel like they're just protein grease bombs that could set you back hours if you digest it exactly which i like personally and like in la yeah the idea of a breakfast sandwich that comes with a side salad that i'm like please let's not do this i'm not here for the side salad i'm here for the cholesterol

bomb that is betwixt two pieces of bread yeah like if i'm getting food that early i'm getting it for a reason like i'm not operating at full capacity just give me what my body wants, which is protein and grease. I think LA, our breakfast burrito game, that's where we excel. Right. The sandwiches, we can't. We're copying other places.

And that's when LA food is the worst, is when it's copying other regional shit rather than just what we do well. That's why other like regional shit rather than just like what we do well that's why the breakfast burrito i feel like send you a few places that you would be like this is the size of a cinder block and i could put in the freezer and take a little slice off every day for a year and be fully filled and that's what i need that exactly i don't think i've even had the breakfast burrito since i've been here oh brian all right all right don't think I've even had a breakfast burrito since I've been here. Oh, Brian. All right. All right.

Don't you want to just be in a coma for a whole day? Is that not what you're craving? The work over? Wake up. Let me put my ass right back to bed here. Yeah. Yeah. It's hard.

Every bread-based thing, every bread-based food in LA is like, oh, yeah, these people came out here from Brooklyn. They even, like, import the water from Brooklyn. So, like, that's why it's good. They've just admitted defeat. Except for donuts, which are, I guess, a pastry. And L.A. does donuts pretty well and with confidence. But all the, yeah, any bagels, any pizza, any sandwich bread, it's all like, and here's why it doesn't suck.

I know what you think. You're thinking it sucks. Or they do the thing. They're like, don't worry. It's not our shitty LA bread. These are Amoroso rolls straight from Philly. Right. Yeah.

You know, and you're like, okay, okay. All right. Okay. Don't worry. What you're eating wasn't made here. Right. Yeah. You know, and you're like, okay, okay. All right. Okay. Don't worry. What you're eating wasn't made here. Yeah. Don't worry. What's something you think is underrated,

Brian? Yeah. I'm sorry. You did come in heavy, hot and heavy with like the food related shit, but that's kind of just like what my life has been like recently. I said earlier, underrated staying staying open past 10 p.m. No one's going to do that.

On a Thursday, too. Okay, when you were in New York, what was your go-to past 10? Bodega. Okay. And then like where they had like a little hot food or they could put like they had a little deli section yeah they had a deli section you could get like a cheese steak or something still right i think i'm trying to think of how i mean like street vendors typically are out late that's usually the food that is open late because they understand people fucking work past 10 and may need something like a quick bite to eat on their way home.

That's usually the most luck I would find is like you got to find like your mobile taqueria or like taco truck or something. They typically stay out past 10, but certain areas, yeah, like it's a wrap, like a fucking like 9 30 even and you're basically going to the sleep of your sound they're going to sleep of the sounds of your stomach just gargling for your life your stomach's gonna sing you to sleep i forgot about street vendors i need if i haven't really seen one in my area which is kind of that's my fault well i mean that's and that's a big issue in la right because street vending is like this huge thing and it's such a vibrant economy. But there are so many forces at work trying to make it illegal or make people jump through fucking fucking brick and mortar like chain restaurant than i have from like someone selling like elote or something on the fucking street and yeah like i think that's what's kind of it depends on like some areas just have better street like food vending culture than others yeah you gotta like prowl around the city

and actually use your nose you gotta be like oh Wait a second. It smells like there might be a taco stand around here. Doesn't 11 feel like a fair time to close? Like 10 feels, I feel like 10 is like when the nightly, like the 10 o'clock local news comes on. You should have till at least 11. 11, even just like pair down the menu, I would be fine with that. Like you can't order like you know

extensive stuff but give me give me the option to get like fries right right maybe the very least right yeah it's a it really feels like my experience with late night eating in new york is an adventure of going to just like different bodegas and you know hazy chopped cheese and like weird sandwiches and every la experience is jack in the box or some other like drive-thru window and i i had actually convinced myself that i thought jack in the box was good food until i tried it sober and i was like oh okay all right this is actually a pretty smart business strategy i will say that jack in the box does do it for me in a way i do i do like that they you can't

really pin down where what their angle is in terms of food you're just like tacos but there's fries but there's fish it's just like it's all over the place i love it but as somebody who doesn't own a car they're they're um they're like what are they called little the place where you have to walk in that closes early too so like an actual restaurant yeah yeah so you need to go through the drive-thru so then i'm like there's no winning you know yeah yeah and that's why the city is ultimately hostile to people who do not have cars it's like oh motherfucker you can't even eat jack-in-the-box is not you know jack-in-the-box well a cabin also but jack-in-the-box

well i mean shit dude shit pops off at jack-in-the-boxes in la right like on friday night yeah like every jack-in-the-box in la i feel like has like just wild security shit pops off at Jack in the Boxes in LA. Right. Like on Friday nights. Oh, for sure. Yeah. Like every Jack in the Box in LA, I feel like has like just wild security because it is like kind of like that late night spot. Everybody's kind of fucked up. Like the shit goes down at the Jack in the Box. They check your bags. Right.

Yeah, right. Just to go through the... You got to take your shoes off and shit. Why do you need to look inside my trunk so I can go through this Jack in the Box? Yeah, Box? Hey, take out your laptop, my man. Take out your laptop. What? I just want an ultimate breakfast sandwich. Yeah, man. And your shoes. Come on, man. We don't have time. Also, just, you know, Taco Bell does now offer breakfast

and it's starting to show up in my Twitter feed quite a bit. So just in case you're looking, in case you're, you know, really at a loss for what to eat in the morning, Taco Bell is making a play for people. That's worrisome that it's showing up in your feed. Yeah, no, it's a problem. They're like,

that's usually how I realize I'm depressed is when Taco Bell is like, all right, it's time. Turn on the feed. We got his ass. Get in his Twitter. All right.

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. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 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, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption

that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks Everywhere starting September 25th on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts And we're back. And a couple pieces of evidence hitting the media that and apparently was closer than he thought it was going to be. And they had the plan to claim that the election was stolen and, you know, yada, yada, yada. He gets to stay president. And within that yada, yada, yada, you there has to be some January 6th type event. Right. You don't just get to, you know, imagine your way into remaining president. So, yeah, the past few days, I've just repeatedly been reminded of that Michael Che as Lester Holt sketch,

where he's just like, I think at the time it was actually Trump admitting he fired Comey because of the Russia investigation. Right. And Che was like wait so i did i get him is this all over and then he like gets a thing in his earpiece and he's like no i didn't nothing matters absolutely nothing matters and in that yeah so i mean we've come a long way since thinking that him admitting that he fired james comey because he was investigating Russia seemed like a gotcha moment. Like now it's just smoking guns raining out of the sky. And like, you need to take shelter from all the smoking guns because it's just, yeah, we like, it's not even a question of like,

whether he did something wrong. It's like what, whether he knowingly did something wrong and had like premeditated it and will be able to like prove it in a court of law. So he's not allowed to run for president again. Right. And it seems like maybe it's so the January 6th committee just played footage of Steve Bannon saying he's going to declare victory, but that doesn't mean he's a winner. He's just going to say he's a winner, which is a pretty accurate description of what trump did but that audio is from halloween night before the election so like four nights before the election happened wasn't there also talk that he was trying to declare victory before

the election even happened i'm not sure like this so that there was all kinds of harebrained ideas that he was throwing out there i I think, in pursuit of this. Like, basically, I don't know what the fuck I'm going to do. This is going to be El City or something. Right. Where one of them was like just to preemptively be like, nah, I won't. And they're like, that's like. So that's not how voting works.

So that's not how any of it works. Right. OK. There's also Roger Stone told Trump supporters on November 1st that the election would likely remain too close to call on election night. The key thing to do is to claim victory. Possession is nine tenths of the law, which. Have you seen that clip? Of Stone saying that?

No. Of Roger. Dude, he's a fly. Dude, I got to find this. He's fucking off his shit. Like so violent. He's like, fuck you. We won.

Hold on. I got to hold on. I i'm gonna find this clip because it's really that's the one on november 1st because that that this one is before the election happened yeah there's one where he's talking to like these dudes and like outside of his car about the nine-tenths of the law thing and he like he goes on to say like it's nine-tenths like you know possession is nine tenths of the law we won fuck you try and do something about it we'll fucking fight you kind of a thing and they kind of just sort of clip out the whole i gotta find it okay here we go now we can hear it so this is november first celebrating i suspect it'll be i really do suspect it would still be up in the air when that happens the key thing to do is to claim victory.

Possession is nine-tenths of the law. No, we won. Fuck you. Sorry, over. We won. You're wrong. Fuck you. That was him rallying him up.

And that's talking to these people who are basically their far-right goons on the ground to just sort of seed this idea of just fucking run with this. And don't worry about what the fuck they say like this is like and i think just saying like doesn't matter if we won or lost because at the end of the day we're not fucking leaving so fuck you there were emails flying around from advisors like october 31st again we had an election day today and i won is his suggested remarks even though they're like anticipating losing or it being too close to call. Greg Jacob, who was vice president Pence's counsel, learned days before Election Day from Pence's chief of

staff, Mark Short, that Trump planned to prematurely announce that he had won. So it's like everybody knew this. Robert Costa tweeted Thursday he had seen texts from that night from some aides indicating they realized declaring victory was Trump's plan and that White House lawyers were alarmed, but presumably not alarmed enough to do shit. Speaking of not alarmed enough to do shit, Secret Service apparently knew about January 6th and that they were going to try and assassinate Mike Pence on January 6th, like ahead of the event. That's another thing that is being indicated by not really worried more evidence yeah i think you know like in that line of like white house lawyers were alarmed like no they weren't but thank you for adding that into your journalism to try and like give them some cover like if they we would have seen a much more

massive follow-up but either way i mean as the trial as we've seen from the trial and then even trump's response to them you know being like well i think we need to subpoena him it it's was it's everything has been clear from the second he was even questioning the like like voter fraud in the summer of 2020 and i don't like i i understand they've done their work we've done like we've we've reached night nine of kuchela at this point we've closed it out but i'm just like where the fuck is this going that's it are you actually going to reform the laws to like protect something like this from happening again to like have more rigid legal structures that someone can't just be like fuck you it's nine-tenths of the law or is it just going to be a thing where

it's like i don't know we tried y'all and now the republicans have taken over the house and all they're going to do is start all kinds of committees and shit just to flood the zone with bogus like investigations to just prop trump up for 2024 like that seems like what the plan is now. Yeah. And I don't see anything in the playbook that suggests that's not going to work. Like, I don't know what the January 6th committee is going to do that would suggest that that's going to work. Like, I still think there is this part of their brain that is still stuck in like, you know, mainstream democrat thinking where they were the ones who tried to help trump win the republican primary because they thought it was

going to be easy to beat like i still think they're like well you know if trump is the nominee that wouldn't be all bad for us because he's going to be like convicted of all these things or like he's easily convictable in the court of public opinion. And it's like, you don't, you don't understand how little of a shit people give about that who, who are inclined to support him. And like,

it's just, we're still in the position where, you know, Republicans aren't going to do shit to stop this. And, you know, the,'t going to do shit to stop this. And, you know, the like the only alternative to the mainstream, like we'll let the market handle it. Corporations are the ones actually making the decisions option that we've been running with for the past, you know, however many decades is fascism like that they're they're going to run that and i don't know it still is very scary it's a it's pretty dark times i guess

i think it's pretty cool i think you know maybe we'll see that maybe we'll see the end of this fucked up experiment in this country. But yeah, we continue to just look at these existential threats directly in the eye. And I'm just kind of feeling like that Lester Holt thing. Alright, so what? Oh, nothing matters anymore?

And I think the most Republicans would do is just not be so forceful in defending him and i think they if if they are going to let you know try and purge him it's going to be very passive and it'll be in the hopes that he's just fucked himself over legally to the point that they're like yeah like we're not going to really come to your aid but we're not going to we're not going to rah-rah the left either and just let let that happen. Like, you know, because luckily the Supreme Court like rejected hearing, you know, his attempt to overturn that decision in the documents case.

Right. So the special minister, the special minister gambit. Yeah. And also like what they say doesn't really matter because again, there's no energy behind mainstream Democrats or mainstream Republicans. The energy is behind Trump. So I don't know. And it's also, I mean, it ties to this next story

about Fetterman v. Oz and some of the knives coming out for John Fetterman. This is somebody who's outside of the mainstream and got some actual energy. Ish. Ish. Yeah, like ish. I mean, I'm not going paint him as like some far left foot half a he has half a foot outside of the mainstream right it's enough to have gotten

energy and gotten people excited supporting him and it just feels like they don't they don't have the appetite to protect him or like do the things they normally do to get people elected right yeah i mean well right now like obviously you know the polling has had john fetterman in the lead because people like yeah okay clearly as a binary people are like i like fetterman over this hollywood goon but his lead has been shrinking we've been talking about that thanks to like you know fear-mongering around crime and you know having journalists like equivocate recovering from a stroke to like being a sociopath that may not deserve to be in office or like incapable of holding office. Right.

And a lot of observers of the of this Senate race have said, like, look, it's clear right now that Oz's tactic is shifting to try and suppress the black vote, like bringing up like this, you know, when Fetterman pulled like a shotgun on a black jogger because he thought like oh this might be someone involved in this like other crime and a lot of people like okay fetterman like oh that's not the best look for you homie but he said look i was a mistake blah blah blah it seemed that the people who were supporting him had moved past it but like a few groups have been dumping millions of dollars into like amplifying that or, you know, this just the general optics around Oz being a more like I'm down with the black community type energy. And it's it's interesting because half of it isn't necessarily that Oz is trying to court the black vote. He's also just trying to suppress the black vote because it wants to not turn out for Fetterman.

also just trying to suppress the black vote because it wants to not turn out for Fetterman because if you look at exit polls from 2020, black people made up around 11% of the electorate. Joe Biden got 92% of that vote. Donald Trump got 7% of that. So I think if you're playing the strict numbers game of your 50% plus one math that all the people in the campaigns are doing, you have to find those margins to try and shave off to eke out your win. So last month in September, Oz went like all in on showing the black community. He understands the plight. And he had an event in Philly where this black woman comes up and they were saying he was holding like a safer streets type meeting to talk about gun violence in the city. and this black woman you know she's holding a poster of some of her family members who had succumbed to gun violence and

i'll just play this for you because this was like a moment where like the local news covered it as like just sort of like a like this campaign event that dr oz was throwing what his campaign called a safer streets community discussion where arm Armstrong shared the story of losing both her brother, who was shot on his porch, and a nephew. My nephew at the time of his murder was only 14 years old. I'm honestly angry and fed up with the system. I'm fed up with the system that is playing politics with the lives of us that live in these communities. So Dr. Oz in that thing, he's like looking at her.

He's like, oh, wow, wow. Like there's a photo that like the newspaper ran where she's in tears and he's like consoling her. The AP wrote this as, this is what they're reporting. As Sheila Armstrong grew emotional in recounting how her brother and nephew were killed in Philadelphia, Dr. Mehmet Oz sitting next to her inside a black church,

their chairs arranged a bit like his former daytime TV show set, placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. Later, he gave her a hug and said, how do you cope? And they just ran with that. OK, the problem with all this is that this woman, Sheila Jackson, is a paid staffer for Dr. Oz. Like she's not someone from the community. She works on the campaign. She was sharing pics on her Instagram of her new Oz campaign business cards about how she's organizing the Philadelphia County organizer type thing. And if you look at the FEC filings, the Federal Election Commission,

she's receiving payroll payments. They got rece she's like they got receipts like you are you are being funded by dr oz and this is just so fucked up because i'm not sure what her motives are but oz definitely knows what the fuck he's doing here because he is using like black bodies as props to like make himself seem like he gives a fuck about the community and we see this all the time with politicians like i still haven't forgotten, uh, Kente cloth fest at the Capitol rotunda in 2020, uh, with the Democrats.

Like I've still haven't, like, this is just, it's just his virtue signaling without any action. And the wild shit is for all the Dr. Oz. Oh my God, honey,

how do you cope with the gun violence? Listen to his answer. When, uh, like the local reporters again are asking they're like hey man uh can we ask you about like what your plan is with i don't know fucking gun control about something not in the plan he put out today one thing that that your plan does not talk about uh is guns gun violence what can voters expect from you on that would you

oppose any additional gun restrictions he was just in this church talking with this woman talking about oh the plight of gun violence right like using that for emotional points and then they just asked okay so what's your platform well we have a new gun law and i'd like to see what happens with it i'm happy that we have a lot of money for mental health in there and that's a big problem for violence way beyond guns. But I tell you, most of... I'm sorry, what? That's a big problem for violence way beyond guns.

That's his fucking plan. You know what I mean? Like, this is... It's just, like, so disingenuous on its face that you're going to then use this woman's, like, legitimate loss of family to then go out there and be like, I don't know, gun control? I don't know, man.

I just said that just so I could embrace this crying woman of color. Gun control? Yeah, I don't give a fuck, man. Let it rock. Yeah. I feel like he should have... I think it's going to go as far as to have somebody on his payroll to like tell

their story like i'm like you should have just like gotten a paid like an interviewer you know to right to ask you those questions after we like just like throw softballs at you right yeah go full stalin you know yeah. This like alternative reality. I mean, you know, a lot of people were noticing, too, like even at that church event, there was this one state like local representative. It was like he was like that event was happening in his district as a state legislator and he wasn't invited. So he had to like force his way in to see what was going on. I was like, oh, y'all are in my community. Like, what's going on here? And he showed there were there were more journalists there than people participating

in this event. You know what I mean? Like, and the media didn't cover that. Like they were just showing that side of it. This guy was showing the reverse view of like the people that were like on this quote unquote panel, looking back, there may be three people seated. And a lot of people noticed that some of the other people of color that have been involved in these events, like you've seen in like campaign ads and things like that. So it's just this like, you know, just very lazy way of like astroturfing or pretending you have some kind of legitimate alignment with a given community. But it's like at this time, like a lot of people are like, hey, Dr. Oz, what's up with that? Haven't heard a comment back yet, but it won't matter because, you know, the hypocrisy doesn't really matter to the right.

But it's just a stark reminder of how we continue to use like people as props, communities as props, like a much larger issue. It can be any given issue that we see all this like disingenuous, like, oh, man, I'm with you. But where are your votes what legislation are you backing like who are you taking money from and what are their aims when it comes to gun violence or well we got a new gun law and there's a lot of stuff in there about mental mental health and that like oh my bad i asked couldn't be no no what what's on. What's on your platform? What can people expect from your platform, Dr. Oz? Not existing legislation. and I'll be at Geno's and Pat's holding up today's issue of the newspaper so that you can tell that I was in fact here on the dates in question. Thank you.

No further questions, your honor. I just want to practice my Philadelphia accent with you guys. Go Eagles! Alright. That's been Dr. Oz. Yeah, Fetterman's already been slamming it. He's like, this guy's a Cowboys fan.

He doesn't support the Eagles. And people were like responding to it. Again, like it's just such a bizarre race trying to figure out, you know, at the end, what is going to actually win out, what message is going to win. But, you know, if you continue like this sensational shit around people suffering for you know campaign points right and just again i mean nothing nothing new but just my god this so so fucking lazy like people like your campaign staffers right yeah i remember when they used to just get people off the street and give them money. What happened to that day of wrangling fake support for a campaign? The good old days.

Good old days when you just have voting parties and get everybody drunk and then make them vote for you. Right. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about the police.

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 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. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Brought to you by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, Shatterproof, and the Ad Council. 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, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks Everywhere starting September 25th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. and we're back and this is kind of constantly happening like the police will fuck up spectacularly and then it kind of slides out of the media because i think they have a very

powerful union and are nicely situated as the only source that the mainstream media uses on crime and the mainstream media loves to write about crime. But there are two stories from, I think it was September, but I didn't want to let them slide because they're just such strong examples of how blatant the case against police should be for anyone paying attention and not brainwashed by the carceral system and like law and order and 80s action movies where the hero is always a cop but you know we have we've had a alec caracasanas on before, and he's one of the points that he makes a lot is that all the arguments around violent crime statistics being affected by policing. First of all, they're not convincing. They don't suggest that policing is a long term.

The stats do not exist. And also they ignore the violent crimes and just general like second degree fuck up re ending in citizens death that is caused by the police. Right. on the wrong street during a police chase, for instance. And it's the rare accidental police killing that the police can't use their power of control and monopoly on violence to cover up. You know, it literally like has to be on body camera that then like people become aware of somehow. So there are two examples that were hard to ignore for the sheer levels of just like buffoonery. And because the police took a situation that may not have been deadly, probably wouldn't have been in one case, and made it so because, yeah, just because it's kind of standard operating procedure. So let's start with the one in Colorado. The police pulled over Ureni Rios Gonzalez and

locked her in their police cruiser while they searched her car. Unfortunately, when they heard a train horn sound in the distance, it didn't jog their memory that they had parked their police car on the fucking train tracks, and they didn't notice until the train hit their car with Rios Gonzalez in it. And as always, the details of the police behavior in this moment are not so much heroic as you don't pay me enough to give a shit about these people vibes. So the officers appeared to take note of the... This is a direct quote from the local news article on this. Officers appeared to take note of the train only as it

came within feet of a police vehicle parked on the tracks with Rios Gonzalez handcuffed inside, according to authorities and body camera footage. A male officer standing near the tracks looked at the approaching train, grew frantic, the footage shows, and then started screaming, stay back. You know, dashboard camera video shows him walking quickly away from the vehicle just before the train plowed into it so rios gonzalez miraculously survived but again it highlights that we have the least responsible human beings doing the job that should seemingly require the most training and responsibility in a society or failing that maybe it shouldn't exist maybe maybe i mean what's the fuck like this is like a real how fucking bad is that where you don't you're not even aware of the train

tracks yeah like i mean i don't know if that's you're either so negligent because you were trying to kill this woman with a train and then trying to be like oh i didn't notice you know what i mean it's just saying like fuck it let's see what happens or you want you are so out of sorts and unaware that that's that you allow that to happen it's like hard to fucking figure out which one they could have been because i could also see i mean you see really vile shit happen to people in police custody too like i i don't know it's just really hard to wrap my head around it's like you can't even fucking you don't even notice train tracks like my first thought was oh maybe they maybe they did that on purpose like who knows i feel like they i wouldn't be surprised if they were just like that that happened they

parked they literally parked on the tracks just like out of straight up incompetency i think that like the standards for like becoming a police officer are getting so like lower and lower that it's just like they're you know they'll truly take anybody and yeah yeah i feel like i heard on the radio like lapd is like they're like doing at like an ad to be like we we need maybe it was an ad maybe it was a news story but it's like they need police officers because like no i don't know they're just like running low or whatever but i'm like i'm like they're that just means people are applying and i don't know it's like the worst of the worst you know yeah well i think yeah to your point though too about like there i think that the third option whether it's i'm so stupid and oblivious i don't know or i'm criminally negligent is like it's just like this cop

privilege that these people have like they they probably like yeah i can park on the fucking train tracks i'm a fucking i'm in a cop car the fuck's a train gonna do hit it you know like in their mind right because you all the time i always see like cops parked in the most fucked up ways on the street in la like when they're not even doing shit like they're like yo i'm gonna fucking turn my lights on to get through a fucking signal then i'm up fucking like double park to go into baja fresh and you're like man y'all didn't fucking follow the laws for all this other shit that i could also see a version where like just the arid sheer arrogance too of like yeah whatever i'll park wherever the fuck i want oh there's a train track whatever yeah i mean we in the story we did on the history of jaywalking one

like the people who were studying this you, found not only that they were using the crime of jaywalking as a way to, you know, racial profile and just, like, they only enforced it with black and brown people. But also that, like, the police were constantly, like, they caught the police on camera just constantly jaywalking. So it was like they were not they were not holding themselves to any standard whatsoever. But I also just want to just to close the loop on that story. Rios Gonzalez's vehicle was being searched in the first place after a report of a road rage incident involving a gun. They presumably had the wrong car because no gun was found, but it wasn't for lack of trying because the body cam footage from the night shows them searching her truck,

both before and after the train hit her. They were like frantically being like, it's a, it must be here somewhere. It's gotta be here somewhere because they wanted that. That was their concern was covering their ass for getting her hit. Because it's OK if a train hit a lady, if she had a gun in her car. Right.

Yeah. Like is the logic there? It's like, well, fuck, we have to like, you know, typically we can get away with brutalizing people if we can say some crime was like she had weed. Yeah. So, you know, train hit her. Yeah. But, you know, she had weed. So that's bad, right, folks?

Okay. Please move along. And then there was a case in California around the same time in September where everybody in California got an Amber Alert where a man had shot and killed his wife and kidnapped his teenage daughter, Savannah Graziano. wife and kidnapped his teenage daughter, Savannah Graziano. And after issuing an Amber Alert for Savannah, the police caught the father with the kidnapped child in tow in the desert heading toward Vegas and just got into a massive shootout with him. And despite the fact that the daughter was in the car, you know, we're exchanging gunfire. At one point, she appears to have made a break for it and run towards the police at which point she was gunned down by the police and i i suspect i can only say i suspect it was the police because the details have been very slow and sparse since it happened but at first they said she was in tactical gear

and may have been armed so the 14 year old girl who was a hostage may have been armed. So the 14-year-old girl who was a hostage may have been armed and a threat to officers behind a bank of police cars in a shootout. And they eventually had to turn the incident over to the Justice Department as potentially qualifying under a law that requires the Justice Department to investigate cases in which the death to the unarmed to the unarmed civilian is caused by a california peace officer so like that's the that is the level that we're dealing with of right just how they're called peace officers when they find somebody who is a kidnapping victim they just start shooting they just start shooting. They just start shooting with a, you know,

a child in, in the car and then kill the child when the child makes a run for it, like a break for it. Well, I think at the very least, right. Like in that example, it just shows that we're the police in that form.

We're just cranking out a group of people who are so trigger happy and have just been trained to look at every single person as a threat that there's no helping it's just harm it's like you get near a cop and like what the fuck you want what the fuck you want they start like reaching for their shit you're like what directions right oh right you know what i mean and like for all like we constantly hear it i don't know why it's taking. I mean, I know we know why it's so hard to shift the conversation, but it's it's just seems so logical. Right. Like that's one fact about the amount of money that's spent on law enforcement. Yeah, we have these crime rates that the way they are shows that paying funding the police has nothing to do with our safety. that paying funding the police has nothing to do with our safety right in fact it's caught it's a cause of a lot more violent interactions when again all that money is better served being uh like in social services and there is a new there was a poll that came out that i haven't seen really talked about a lot where like they're like something like 65 percent of republicans 70 percent of

like independence and like way more version of like uh like liberals were saying that police funds should actually be diverted towards social services right like a majority of republicans are even saying that what what did they think defund the policeman did they like because they treated that like it was the worst thing that anyone has ever said but yeah well i mean yeah we need to start making movies that action movies about social service workers i just kind of like jacked like social service workers that like you know glorify the work yeah yeah exactly right like we there's like a hostage situation but what you do well i don't know if there's a hot you'd almost need to be like he's saving some person's like life and be like hey man here's you know here's

some here's like a place for you to get back on your feet yeah all right here's like a job here's an address you can apply so you can get so when you apply to a job you actually have an address and a phone number you can put on your application because that's a big hurdle for a lot of unhoused people and then they're like look what i did i set this person up for for success and treated them like a human and everyone's like oh shit i mean i don't know how we make that sexy but we had the perfect opportunity to make the point that social services are the thing that keeps crime down. When, you know, in 2020, the like during the pandemic lockdown, you know, certain crimes did go up and the actual data suggests that they went up because not not because anybody was defunded because the police no police anywhere were defunded in a way that was significant or impactful the thing that happened

was that social services and programs that used to help people stopped because it was a fucking pandemic and so like you have this very clear evidence and the media, the only version that I heard of that story was crime went up because they defunded the police and like that protesting the police or suggesting that we needed to defund the police was the cause of crime going up and it's like demonstrably not true with statistics and it's like it is the subject that we were protesting over and they turned it into basically the like a big story about how protesters were the cause of murder rates going up i feel like the easiest way to just like why don't journalists be like a local police department, lower the crime rate challenge. Right. Let's see if you can lower that like significantly. Right.

Cause y'all are out there policing. Yeah. And we're, and you're, we're giving you constant unending tranches, tranches of cash. However you want to say that just piles of money, but where are the results? And I think that's, what's wild is like, are the results and i think that's what's wild is like we're for all the money that's going into it it's like one of the few things you're like we're not looking at the results and actually like analyzing them like what the fuck's going on because again it's like its own industrial complex well like if you would just give them

tactical nuclear weapons that like they've been asking miles like that's the thing it's just we they've been asking forever just small nuclear arms not like just so they can do targeted nuclear strikes and then you would start to see a difference i feel like that's what's next right if i had to like bombing like that like bombing that neighborhood in philly like in the 80s wasn't enough right they're like i think we go bigger than that and i yeah i don't know i mean it's well eventually like you see more and more people again this is why at the very, like you have to be heartened by the kinds of people that are getting into local politics because that are the elected city officials how they see fixing issues like the unhoused community and any kind of crime but but they always like the real the people of good character uh and are actually analytical about these issues they're all saying the same thing

is that we just have to support our neighbors right that's it that's it it's that easy doesn't we don't need fucking you know more humvees and shit we don't need more fucking you know ars in the hands of police just need to support people and help them we just need to give people a base of a foundation of stability to operate from that's it that's it yeah i did see i was like walking to the post office and for some reason like an unhoused guy was getting arrested and there were straight up like nine like cop cars that like rolled up on this corner. And I'm like, this is, this is like past like absurdity at this point. It's just like nine cop cars. That's like, just for one, one person, it's so obvious that if you just funneled the money that it took to pay those people to do social service work or something, that this problem would be so much better.

Yeah. Help that guy in a way. We've seen cities where they have a program where calls for somebody who is in distress or is having a mental health crisis, those calls don't get routed to the police. They get routed to people with training in situations like that and with access to the social service programs, and it works. unfortunately it also doesn't fund a military industrial complex worth of money at a local level which I think is what we're dealing with in a lot of cases here

pressure's on Steve Martin right I blame Steve Martin yeah well Brian as always such a pleasure having you on the Daily zeitgeist where can people find you follow you all that good stuff you can find and follow me at brian b-r-i-a-n underscore

And it's like all this music from Northeastailand from the 70s and early 80s and there's this one track on here called i don't look forgive me i don't i'm just saying the words out loud so i don't know how i might be butchering them but it's called fang jive young john f-a-n-g j-a-i-v-i-a-n-g-j-a-n those are three words and the artist is feporn pechabon t-h-e-p-p-o-r-n and the last

name p-e-t-c-h-u-b-o-n feporn feporn pechabon this track is like it reminds it's like it's like half r&b funk like latter day like temptations but this guy's vocals like the vocal scales of like southeast asian music and like his the timbre of his voice and like the just the little like vocal flares are fucking dope it just has like that throwback quality when you listen to it i just feel like i'm it's it'll transport you somewhere to a different time and place and i think that's what i really appreciate this song so this is fang jive young john by that foreign petcha bond or you could just look for the album called the sound of siam volume two a lot of those tracks are dope on there but yeah check this out find that in the footnotes the daily zeitgeist is a production of my heart radio for more podcasts
