It's a little bit more to the fucking stew. Just a little sprinkle. I can't believe. Just a little more seasoning. I watched the fucking video rendering of the unsurvivable storm surge.

You know how the Weather Channel does the video? Like, this is what a three-feet storm surge looks like in six. That was so just freaky to me. And I'm just adding to the visual palette of this year. It's really something else really really wow what i i didn't see it what is you know how like the weather channel does like those wild ass computer renderings of like this is what a f3 tornado looks like and a guy will be like on a green screen like a digital house just like be shredded

and they're like that's why you got to get the fuck out so with this one they're talking about the uh the storm surge from the hurricane and they're saying it's unsurvivable which is something you don't say often and this is why at three feet this is what the and like you know if the guy's like superimposed on the streets right up there he's like this is what is six feet he's like at three feet cars are moving around and they're lifted right at six feet right they're flying around you know what i mean and then at nine feet uh you can the whole city's under water. Like, I mean, yeah, unless you were like in a five-story building and you can retreat to a higher floor.

But it's, yeah, like that was. And then so at the end of that clip, the guys are like, and that is why you must escape immediately and you must evacuate. And, you know, my thoughts are with all those people. I'm fucking everybody on earth right now, literally. So who isn't my heart going out to except for the republicans it's always that one guy though thinks he could survive the hurricane no matter what and he's usually right too yeah somehow he just it's like that friend who like never got caught drunk driving in college and you're like i'm telling you man

it's gonna end like don't do this shit and they're like he left don't do it he took his keys and like i don't know he fucking stole them and somehow never yeah dies at age right exactly right and you're like how you do it how'd you do it you were actively trying to like cut this thing short but okay facts he's like i got really good at it a lot of yeah i had a friend no joke who had that sort of like terrible confidence about like driving buzzed and shit and we would never drive with him but one time we we knew he was going towards an intersection that had a checkpoint and we're like oh he's done yeah like here it comes karma baby like every he got waved through the checkpoint and that's when we were like oh this there's he made some kind of deal with some higher power

that we don't know about yet power facts all white guy of course yeah who also you know low-key he will used to tell people he was sean white and try and get like free drinks at bars and shit yeah the the redheads are uh you know not not threatening looking the cops are like yeah that was something that i always thought i was lucky that i didn't get pulled over drunk driving but that's yeah now you're like come to find out that was some weight privilege putting everybody at fucking risk yeah does does trump count as a redhead is he oh yeah i guess he is what is that because i yeah because right before that i was thinking yo redheads you never hear problems from them then i was thinking oh shit is trump yeah yeah like what's that cmyk process number like color for there like what's the pantone code for his hair i'm curious what color that

actually is don't go for his skin i guess would be similar whatever the the closest his hair is skin yeah Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Dangerous game to play. All right. Chinna do. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a few of the things we're talking about.

We're not really going to talk about the RNC. Fuck them. At this point, we are going to talk about the bullshit media coverage of the terrorist in Wisconsin who went around shooting people with a long rifle and just walked through the police like he was a like he was a 17 year old white kid i mean what country are we in we'll look at uh how the media has responded to that we'll hear from the chief of police in kenosha uh we'll talk about the NBA strike. We'll talk about the CDC.

We'll figure out what our Netflix top 10 is, what we're going to re-watch over the weekend. All of that, plenty more. But first, Chinna, do we like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? I was trying to buy a weight bench

and spend a couple of weeks looking at different weight bench. You know, the gym's been closed, and I'm trying to avoid getting too chunky. I say you look less swole than normal. I feel like when I first met you in person, I'm like, oh, this dude works out. Yeah, usually my titty is popping through my shirt. Yeah, so I just bought a weight bench and just got here.

So now I got to buy dumbbell i gotta buy dumbbells but dumbbells are super expensive and aren't they like on back order like every motherfucker in the country is buying dumbbells it's insane bro but you can't they're not gonna get here all the ones i found and on top of that they're like 170 pounds it's supposed to be i think a dollar per pound but now it's like 170 for like some 60pound dumbbells per dumbbell. 60? I don't know. It might take a week. I'm over here.

Yeah. I got some 40s, but there's kind of light. Okay. Light to you. To me, I'm fucking breaking my arms trying to lift that shit. Takes time. There was a time I was trying to make the NBA a long time ago. Oh, yeah. Right, right, right.

You know the economy is fucked up when we have wizardry, wizardry of, like, smartphones and those cost nothing and then dumbbells. Like, the thing that you could come from the 1800s and be like, yeah, okay, that's what we had back then. Right. But, yeah, shit that would have seemed like, you know, magic. I guess what's the alternative? Like, you tie up a bunch of resistance bands together to try and get like that same thing but it just doesn't doesn't hit the same just just hella right yeah but that's annoying because my wrist is like kind of swollen a little bit

because i do so many uh so i don't know yeah damn but the weight bench is good because i was using like this table in my living room but now it I was kind of fucking up the table after a certain amount of time. Yeah, it's a weight bench. I'm definitely going to go ahead and buy a weight bench, bro. And it took forever to get here because of USPS. It's hard to go pick it up. They're supposed to bring it to me. They pretend like they did, but I never left home that day.

They just left a sign that said, hey, we couldn't. You weren't here. No one knocked me up here. They do that. Yeah. Yeah. Who can blame them right now? Their whole fucking livelihood being fucked with.

I don't want to fucking see anyone. Facts. Yeah. They're overworked. The staff is being cut. People should just be like, you know what? We're cool on that stuff for a little bit. Work on the post.

I mean, after seeing that fucking incision, like the surgical dismantling by Ayanna Pressley and a bunch of other people on Capitol Hill of the Postmaster General, like you really got to see firsthand. I mean, we played one clip a couple of days ago about how he didn't know how most of the postage worked. And then when he was like asked about specific questions

about how COVID was impacting like the postal service, he was just wholly unprepared. It really paints a picture that they just found some goon to go in there and completely fuck it up. Has no idea. Yeah, just random guy. Really. Facts. It's more about not who's capable of the job, but who will do it. Yeah, yeah.

Who's got the lack of soul to get the job done? Who can I buy? That's all it is. Who can I buy? That's it it what is something you think is overrated something i think is overrated probably uh a lot of things but recently i got a lot of flack for saying uh baked beans was better than mac and cheese and i still i still stand in that i'm not i'm not budging i never got that much that much hate in my dmc i i think and cheese is super overrated.

I'm never upset if there's no mac and cheese at a Thanksgiving event or a barbecue. I'm lactose intolerant, mind you, but I've had mac and cheese. I enjoy mac and cheese. Usually cheese doesn't bother me, so I can have it. But I just don't understand the obsession obsession i don't understand the uh yeah the obsession you know you know what's really good grilled chicken with some baked beans like that combination is so fucking good also when you have like see the thing with mac and cheese and look maybe not maybe i'll join you chinadu in the the fires of reply guy hell on twitter

but you know what i mean like i get it you know it's noodles and cheese and i love craft man i love that shit too but it's never like a thing where i've never i've had many look i've seen i have all kinds of mac and cheese in my life but i tend to get more surprised when i have a really good batch of beans that someone has made like i'm like what the fuck is this from a camp and i'm like you made this or like you go to a barbecue restaurant and their beans like they're cooking it with like their pork and shit like that and you're like oh my god savory all the you know you get surprised by some spices it's like this little meat it could be oh yeah you know mac and cheese like mac and do you guys like

cheese pizza i hate cheese pizza so i think the same people that like mac and cheese are like cheese piece of people it just feels like it's undone like oh you can expand that's why i think like look don't get me wrong like a fray i had a fancy like mac and cheese that had smoked brisket in it that was delicious but then we're but now we're going to somewhere different yeah it's lasagna now but yeah i feel like the mac and cheese is one of those dishes kind of like ketchup when the more uh skill and effort and like money is put into like trying to fancy it up the worse it is, whereas Kraft mac and cheese is pretty fucking good. Love spirals. Woo!

If you give me your bespoke ketchup, I'm not interested. Give me Heinz. Oh, yeah. When people come through with that super fancy shit, I'm like, no. It has to be genetically modified for me to eat it

i'm sorry that's just those are the rules and i feel like with the if i put mac and cheese and beans like on a in my buffet bracket or something and i don't and i'm not gonna say one advances over the other but i will say this i have a greater experience being like having a good bean baked bean like at the table then they're not being mac and cheese yeah i mean i don't feel that pain as hard like when there's good beans i'm like sometimes they'll be like you're just eating the beans and i'm like yeah i don't know i'm a bean guy beans are fire beans are kind of unfuckable i haven't had too many bad baked beans in my life yeah yeah i mean i would imagine can they smell right i mean i've been i

had a good success rate too i haven't ran into a bad fact luckily when they come from a can they're very consistent yeah i like not a fan not a fan of refried beans you're not a fan of refried beans oh my god i love all the black and all their forms i love black beans over refried okay i like black beans better yeah yeah yeah but some baked beans. I like eating some baked beans in their natural environment over a trash can fire down by the railroad. Yeah, yes. With your fingerless gloves on.

Yeah, exactly. What do they call it? Frostbite? Yeah, exactly. I love how much energy you're putting into this to not be reminded how fucked the country is right now. I know. I'm almost like,

yeah, love these beats. Let me tell you about a good beat. It's whatever you gotta do. It's whatever you gotta do to get to tomorrow. I know, I know. I'm like realizing,

I'm like, damn, I'm really hyped up and I'm also like, this is helping me forget all this other shit right now. Yeah, you gotta step away so you can come back more energized, you know yeah what is uh what's

something you think is underrated something is underrated uh man walking walking is underrated i didn't realize i wasn't a walker till the pandemic because i got flat feet so i can't i don't like running outside uh but i needed some kind of cardio bro so i just been walking in the neighborhood usually when i used to see see old people walking, I'm like, man, being old. My mom and dad used to walk back in the day a lot, all the time. I never joined them. But now walking is just very, it's a bit of a workout. And I get a lot of stuff done.

I love making phone calls to friends while I walk. I like grabbing a little Jamba juice. Oh, what flavor? It's actually called Jamba now, isn't it? Just J it just jamba is this jamba yeah we were covering that because they wanted to they didn't want to pigeonhole themselves they want to corner themselves and they didn't want you to think that it's just jamba juice there even though i couldn't tell you i mean i know i remember i used to work by jamba juice and i'll go there on my lunch break and the pretzels were trash so i just kept it to the fucking juices yeah the pretzels were trash, so I just kept it to the fucking juices. Yeah, the pretzels were way too rough.

The oatmeal's not bad. But yeah, no disrespect to Jamba Juice. I didn't realize. My cousin told me they can't call it Jamba Juice because there's no actual juice in it. It's like KFC, that urban legend from middle school. They got hella fruits. The fruits are just a disclaimer. That's like the urban legend where it was like,

they have to call it KFC because it's not really chicken. It's like. It's grown in a lab. They don't have heads. I'm like, all right, bro. That's like what your health store mother told you in the early 90s and shit. Right. Yeah, I'm more of like an acai bowl guy.

I used to be a mango go-go. Mango go-go was my jam. I'm a Caribbean passion guy. Caribbean passion is nice. That's like for special days. You know what I'm saying? Gotcha, gotcha. Mango go-go is consistent.

You feel me? That's a normal Tuesday right there. But Caribbean passion, that's a Saturday. That's a weekend spot. Have some vodka in your pocket. Oh, I like that a lot. Oh, yeah, like jamba daiquiris wow that would be something i would you know if like when vegas well vegas is open already

because they don't give a fuck but like when people it goes back to full like full steam you know how like there's always like those daiquiri bars in like littered all over vegas like if jamba just had one that they're like these will get you fucking tipped i prop they would probably have like the biggest line out the back i think yeah 100 you know it's funny i promise you somebody at jamba corporate pitched it and it was shut down and like he was so hyped about it too he got his rest that night woke up yeah he's like oh he had a presentation i call it jamba after dark and they're like for the last time we're not selling all right what about a jackery it's like no jamboree

um yeah walking is i i think people are starting to appreciate walking again I mean that was a big it was a big thing I think throughout history like I know Ben Franklin was like loved to talk about walking and like how like that was a

big revelation in his autobiography was like and people don't understand but walking is really good for you most people try to avoid it but then like the jogging craze came around but now I think something about just getting the fuck out of your house and also the fact that Paul Rudd said that

the way he got into shape for Ant-Man was walking no he didn't walking that's what he said he said walking was his secret yeah I thought it was i thought it was cg wait was he like super cut up in that movie uh just like compared to where he was before i guess before i always just see him as just relatively paul ruddish so okay yeah i didn't know he had that walker bod well it's because i walk in like it doesn't really count in your head doesn't count right

so you're working out again that day without even realizing it you know so i was just missing out we don't realize like how many steps we're missing yeah during the quarantine then you know i started putting on some weight i was like okay i gotta figure out what's going on i realized i just hadn't been walking right it's like usually would, just doing the internship. And so, yeah, I would just like kind of walk around the neighborhood and like I'll find some things I can do while I walk to kind of, you know, be productive at the same time.

Yeah. Podcast, reading books. You can do a bunch of stuff. Call people if you are an extrovert, but I don't know. In Jack's case, you dial the number and you're about to hit send and you're like ah fuck it i don't know what i'm gonna say and that's to my mom i don't know what i'll say

to her i don't know she'll think i'm an idiot uh finally what is a myth what's something people think is true you know to be false uh let me see a myth i would say that i heard is is that is that true about the the penny dropping a penny from the empire state building will it kill you if it lands on your head oh right the thing was like if you dropped a penny it could go from the top of your skull like to like out your butthole or something right like straight yeah yeah just like something some real brain damage i don't think that's true and um don't know the science behind it. Maybe it is true. There was actually a whole Mythbusters episode, apparently. Yeah.

Could it actually kill you? 50 miles per hour it could reach? It seems like the drag would slow it down too much. It also seems like we would constantly be getting killed by stuff falling into the sky. Just all the like we would constantly be getting killed by stuff falling into the yeah

from the sky just all the yeah satellite like bird poop bird shit yeah yeah I've been shit on by the bird wave higher up right and I got concussed yeah I couldn't see straight I can't add no more, but it died. There have been cases of it raining fish, raining frogs and stuff from a weather pattern that picked up a bunch of animals in a lake somewhere and just dropped them miles and miles away. And you don't hear about that killing people. No, they say just because it's all so flat,

there's just so much air resistance. So even by the time it hits you, you just go, what the fuck? Someone throw a penny at me. Yeah. So no, they say just because it's also flat, there's just so much air resistance. So even by the time it hits you, you just move the fuck. Someone throw a penny at me. Right. The thing you don't want to get hit by is like a pole or something like that. That was, I remember that was like one of the,

uh, weapons that the Nazis, I think we're looking into during world war throwing poles out. The plane dropping poles from space onto people wait no way dropping poles from space yeah like just to go that high and then be like all right fuck it dump these poles out and like let's just see what happens yes but i think i think it was supposed to be targeted and the nazis had some big ideas yeah i remember there's like a gun the size of a fucking mountain that like not like meth hitler thought up on one of his benders they were all on meth the whole time so

oh for sure yeah that would freak me out polls from did you yeah the sky did you ever take like i remember i went on a like eighth grade trip to the empire state building and i was i that shit was ringing through my head at the time i was like i could kill someone up here yeah but then you realize but then it's all caged up you know like they have like those nets so even if you tried to throw some shit it probably wouldn't get through and that only furthered i'm like oh shit you could really fucking kill somebody that's why so i never questioned it after that. They put the nets up for kids.

Right, exactly. And then you respect the heights. Because then you have to take that moment where you're like, am I a cold-blooded penny killer? And you're like, no, I'm not. I love my mother. Right. You throw like a handful of coins off the top and you just, in the back of your head, you just keep checking the newspaper it has to be like like like old man finds rare coin and on like sidewalk in front of empire state building worth fifty thousand dollars i'm like what the fuck you're you're calling like

hospitals nearby like hey was there any uh reports of pennies going through somebody a guy coming fully splashed you know like a pocket of change just embedded in his skull um right like who is this there was another thing where uh like a physicist was saying like even if there was no air drag like it could probably fuck your skull up but not to the point it's gonna drill through your body so okay just to give just so we can set the record straight you know you're safe. All right. I haven't seen a penny in a very long time.

I know. The coin shortage. Seriously. It's like the new fucking $100 bill. The new dumbbells. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. 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.

Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Señora Sex Ed is not your mommy sex talk.

This show is la plática like you've never heard it before. We're breaking the stigma and silence around sex and sexuality in Latinx communities. This podcast is an intergenerational conversation between Latinas from Gen X to Gen Z. We're covering everything from body image to representation in film and television. We even interview iconic Latinas like Puerto Rican actress Ana Ortiz. I felt in control of my own physical body and my own self. I was on birth control. I had sort of had my first sexual experience.

If you're in your señora era or know someone who is, then this is the show for you. We're your hosts, Diosa and Mala, and you might recognize us from our flagship podcast, Locatora Radio. We're so excited for you to hear our brand new podcast senora sex ed listen to senora sex ed on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast and we're back and yeah the rnc keeps happening it. It was particularly ill-timed, ill-conceived. But you know, perfect, right?

Because it completely sums up what the mentality is of conservative white America, which is we can retreat into our whiteness and ignore a lot of these things and not mention a word about COVID, unemployment, people struggling, fucking repeated killings and shootings of unarmed black and brown people in this country they're just like let's just circle jerk to fucking donald trump and do that whole thing mike pence out here just lying he's saying like an officer was killed during the oakland riots uh by a far right boogaloo boy but you left that part out because you need to keep this narrative going that people's quest for equality is somehow violence.

But the only thing that it's violence toward is the existing structure of white supremacy. So that says a lot. You know, you're afraid of the structure coming down. But it's shit. This is like the fucking epic battle of our times that we're witnessing is trying to have a real reckoning with this shit and the media just fucking continues to do their thing to send people in every which direction which direction yeah bro it's hard to keep track of like i would imagine for people you know who just they're not that smart it's hard for them to keep track of the truth, you know, because now like misinformation is rapid, you know, it's just everywhere.

And it's hard to find out for those who just don't know who struggle with that, you know, just in school in general, like what's, and they just spew lies because it's inflammatory, and it builds up the ratings. That's all it's about. It's just entertainment. And they'll put one hour of truth in there so they can still be legitimized. And then go to the— And the rest, 23 hours. White power hour. It's just bullshit.

Or white power five hours, whatever, when the opinion team kicks off yeah so it's just it's yeah and again every fucking time right a white person kills a black person whatever it's the same fucking playbook every damn time just this 17 year old little boy who pulled up with illegal firearms that he shouldn't have been in possession of or even crossed state lines with uh he was cleaning up graffiti just before he started murdering people like that was like the new like a lot of people were showing in the new york post the juxtaposition of their sort of coverage this young man he's he's out here cleaning graffiti and then jacob blake he's like you know he's got his hat on there's, he's out here cleaning graffiti. And then Jacob Blake, he's like, you know, he's got his hat on.

He's at a head shop or something. And Jacob Blake had a knife in his car. That's why he deserves seven back shots in front of his kids who are so traumatized by that entire ordeal at such a young age. Yeah, like it's, man. That graffiti thing kind of underlines this thing that I keep coming across. Some right-wing dude got my mentions

and was, like, showing me video of, like, a building burning and being like, how could you, like, say that they're peaceful protesters and, like, meanwhile, that kid who you are complaining about is under arrest like acting like these are two equal sides of the same coin that like destroying property and murder taking someone's life well are the are the same side the only way you get to that that logic is if you completely remove the dimension of white supremacy and racist oppression in this country if you if that doesn't exist then your mind goes like well it's a level playing

field and that's what they choose to do and that's what they choose to do you know like it can't people like that do not have the capacity to sort of really understand or see the nuance not even nuance this shit is out in the street are getting clapped in like on camera. And it's still like, well, I don't know. I mean, he'd had a knife somewhere in the car. That's not what what is like. Again, we we're also failing to see that a lot of these cops go out there with this very biased idea or perception of black men and women to that. Oh, this is predatory.

Black bodies are predatory. Black bodies are disposable. Therefore, fuck it. This guy's going to his car. I just point blank just shoot them uh yeah and like when i saw the video it just seemed like the dude was the cop um wanting him to go to his car he had plenty of time to to stop him if he really wanted to he wanted a reason to shoot him and i know those cops don't even have body cams yet. And so I'm pretty sure he probably checked the surroundings and didn't think he was being recorded. That's the only

reason he had the confidence to shoot him so many times in the back, you know, and the reason they shoot you so many times, cause they don't want you to be alive, to be a witness to your murder. And so it's a lot. And I think there's too much pressure on those who aren't professionals to act accordingly. I'm not a police officer. The police officer job is to be able to maintain composure and de-escalate a situation. Why are you putting all that onus on a victim or even a criminal, right? Even if you're guilty, that necessarily means you should be murdered in the streets. You feel me? Yeah, because the punishment doesn't feel right. And so- Because the very disingenuous track is sort of being like well then they shouldn't have been doing this it's like well hold on

are you saying that's if to be to be paralyzed from gunfire is a fitting uh like uh outcome and that's intent to kill you shoot someone seven times like your your intent is not to hurt them or paralyze them you are trying to kill them in front of their children. So, I mean, along with that, you know, Tucker Carlson got on his shit and was, you know, had this whole opening monologue trying to make deify this young man. And he said, how shocked are we? This is a quote. How shocked are we that 17 year olds with rifles decided they had to maintain order when no one else would? And basically goes on to say, well, this is what happens.

It gets so lawless and you get kids out there. Then they have guns. It's the environment that's so bad. And then it's not this kid. But this idea of like. A maintaining order. How shocked are we that seven this statement? maintaining order how shocked are we that seven this statement the real statement is should be are we shocked that after the non-stop uninterrupted mass murder of black and brown

people with no end in sight that people would take to the streets in solidarity to push back against the systemic racism in this country that's what that's where the that's where there shouldn't be surprised not about oh this i mean look what happens no no no you're you're everybody wants to miss the point why people are in the street why people are angry and just treat this as like you know the democratic city's running wild and like these young kids gotta now be the new police what the fuck are y'all talking about yeah and it should also be like tucker should be speaking to himself you know about himself like how shocked are we that a 17 year old white kid picks up you know ak-47 when me myself tucker carson is constantly painting misrepresenting

these protesters as violent as looters as people who who are here to take over a country and just cause complete anarchy. How shocked are we when we completely misrepresent the Black Lives Matter movement? That's really what it's about. You cause that young boy to grab a gun and go out there and think he was some kind of renegade. You cause, you're a part of this. You have blood in your hands. Him, Donald Trump, that whole fucking crew. Someone tweeted, I wish that was my bodyguard she's like i wish he was my president

and this is what we're saying they are calling for open violence against us in our pursuit of equality just straight up yeah that's what that is and the fbi they've been being like hey man white supremacist extremism we're putting that shit on the same level as ISIS. Yeah, I want to see you do that then. Yeah, but I think Christopher Wray was saying, like, a lot of their domestic terrorism cases have mostly been involving white supremacists. Like, he testified to that point. Of course. And all of these people who have been committing mass shootings and shit too

are all of the same mindset. And this is the fucking road we're going down and that's why i'm like i can't believe fox you know i i at this point tucker carlson is barely like though he made the most money thing in 2017 between 2018 and 2019 combined he didn't even make what he made in 2017 because he was lost so much ad revenue but But the problem is Fox News, they negotiate their rates with cable providers so hard that even if they had nearly zero ad revenue, they could still make money as a network. That's why they're able to do this. And there was an interesting thread I was reading on Twitter that a lot of these cable providers actually need to begin renegotiating their rates with Fox News,

because that's the only way they can begin to actually eat into the business model where the exodus of ad revenue will affect their programming. Because now they're just sort of like, what they do is they get their viewers all gassed up and saying like, oh, your cable provider is trying to censor Fox News. Really, when they're just trying to negotiate with them, be like, dude, you can't charge us this much per subscribe. No, we're not doing this. But ultimately, if you have cable, that cost is passed on to you too. So in a way, people who actually subscribe to cable, even if you fuck with Fox News or not, you actually help subsidize their profits even by having a cable plan. So there are other ways to really look at this because i mean yeah the divesting

from fox movement i hope continues to grow because yeah this is just it just gets more more aggressive until you know tucker carlson is going to say white people it's time get your guns and just shoot anybody who doesn't agree with you because that's the only way we're going to save this country like that's you know that's straight up like i mean yeah the white supremacy is getting more and more open and violent and open about the violence and i don't know where like we have no breaks in place to to stop it at this point like they're cheering on the open hunting and murder of people demonstrating for racial justice this kid was front and center at a trump rally recently as a staunch blue lives matter advocate uh there's a there was a very

successful go fund me uh launched for him uh until go fund me took it down like it's it's open like it's it's happening right now. And I don't... I mean, it just looks different, right? Because I think we're thinking like, oh, people are going to pull up in a field and do it old school. But it's the police and police sympathizers just doing whatever the fuck they want to

and can walk off into the night getting a high five they've been fantasizing about it for decades in their gun ads and on fox news and you know televising talking about how uh there were intruders coming into somebody's house and then they took care of it themselves. Those stories are overrepresented drastically on Fox News because they want people to believe in this. They want people. They know people want to. It's cynical. They know people want to believe in that.

Well, there's also this thing where Americans and America in general just has a fear of itself that most people cannot admit exists. There's a level of self-awareness that comes along with seeing how your country treats its own people and it's quote-unquote enemies abroad so and i was just you know going through like reddit nba subreddit was been trashed the last couple days going on twitter just kind of seeing like what the line of attack has been with a lot of conservatives and it's all the same thing and it's all sort of built around this idea that they understand how inhumane this country is because it'll say these are like just straight up replies i've seen to people with political takes on twitter they said well if we defund the military some country will invade us and completely destroy

us oh like we do because i know you you see how the united states army and military does shit abroad so you in some way there's a level of awareness uh or you say if the police are abolished it will be chaos and people won't be defending us from thugs oh in the way that marginalized communities are not defended from the police thugs um or if black people get more power they might do to us what they've what we've been doing to them for hundreds of years there's this deep down knowledge that they know how fucked up it is that's why there's even the imagination to envision these scenarios in which the uh guardrails that maintain oppressive racism like if those are lifted what could happen and the racial power structure is

inverted or even rebalanced uh and that's what's like really fascinating to me on some level because they know the you know like they know what like what the ugliness of this country is but they just don't want to engage with that part to make it better it's just like oh i'm gonna just use that to freak the fuck out of myself yeah and they can't because it will make them you know hypocrites and so yeah i don't really realize like i don't even know if like fox news truly believe in the shit that they say i just think it's really about when they check their their numbers tucker carlson show does the most and so others try to imitate it you know i'm saying because they just it's just it's really just about following the money yeah i think um i think they think they're pulling their punches the stuff that they really believe they can't actually say on air but we saw tucker

carlson's head writer for the past you know i think it was like a decade uh got caught posting like misogynistic and racist shit on online like the they feel like well we just can't say the truth but the truth is yeah you know they're like damn just go on my hatred on and you could really hear my takes you know what i mean but yeah i mean living this lie of white supremacy is part of every white American soul as it is. And they can't fully acknowledge the injustice of it without, you know, cracking open. They want to do everything they can to avoid that.

And they work so hard to avoid acknowledging that yeah i think there's like there's two issues right there's one where you have like white folks who believe that they are truly superior to others and then the other issue is that of those that believe that everything some white folks believe that everything is already on an even playing field that there was no you know it's this issue of systemic oppression past or present or future. And so I think it's two crowds. Right. There's one who believe like, no, man, none of that shit exists. All that stuff is over with as other people who truly believe in like, yes, we are superior. Let's go overtake. Let's go do that. Let's go do that. We we deserve these things, you know.

And so it's it's it's two issues that they're that's cool yeah but they're weighing down the same side you know what i mean it's just like that yeah it's like is there a way to get you know people who straight up believe in their heart like you know evil racist motherfuckers like yeah there's no there's really not much hope for anything like that but i i don't know if there is a also one for very uncomfortable white people who don't want to you know have a reckoning with this country's history. Uh, and actually understand like that's,

you know, we, that was, you weren't alive then, you know what I mean? You weren't working for Andrew Jackson. Don't worry. Uh,

but at the same time, like think about where you're living now. And that just in general, like we have a duty to each other to just make sure that we live in a good place for everybody. but unfortunately I think because the country doesn't give a fuck about most people like that that creates an attitude of not giving a fuck about other people too because that's the that's the signal we get from the government's like well you're poor i don't give a fuck and even if you're white you

might be like oh you're being a president i don't give a fuck the government didn't give a fuck about me so why should i don't want why do i give a fuck about anybody else yeah it's that it's that individualism but you know generally we have a responsibility to to those to in our past and those in the future to make sure we leave this country a better place now i tell people all time yes it's uncomfortable yes it's tough but i mean our responsibilities and our consequences is a lot less than those who came before us so yeah man there are people that literally died for this and there's people that are still dying for this and will die but in the future yeah for sure yeah but you know but we're not asking you to go out

there and you know put your forehead on the police's gun in a protest we're just asking you to like take care of your circle if you have friends and family members who are you know on the wrong side of history or have wrong beliefs, talk to them. Have those uncomfortable conversations. If everybody takes care of their circle, then eventually and surely things get a lot better. So really quickly, we want to talk about the NBA strike. Miles, as you pointed out, it's kind of a wildcat strike

because the players' union hadn't really been consulted. It seemed like it was more of a movement among the players that was happening in real time but the latest reporting out of the bubble uh is that they are going to go back but there's also i think there was an ultimatum placed on the owners to come to them with a plan to actually affect some change right which is very smart because you know the use the billionaires the billionaires are the ones in this country who actually get shit done so make them do something um especially when your top earners are like figure it out because we can fuck your whole bag up if we really want to like we can fuck the whole thing up we don't give a

fuck uh when we will because i think that's the thing they don't realize is there's this is existential fourth quarter you know what i mean uh and this the these like tokenisms and and sort of you know little gestures to try and quell this just they aren't they aren't actually creating the solution that we need and i also want to shout out the WNBA because they have been so about this social justice shit for since time immemorial. And a lot of the focus has been on the NBA as well. And like many of the other sports. But I think it's it really that it can't be underlined enough just how dedicated the players and the actual league of the WNBA is. I'll give that to

the players I don't know how much the league structure is but I'll I'm damn sure know those players give a fuck and it's really uh inspiring to see and yes I feel like uh trash for not like being more into the WNBA because at the like you know I just uh I'm always impressed and touched and moved by that dedication from them. And yeah, the WNBA, NBA, a few major league baseball teams, MLS teams, Naomi Osaka. Many were just like, you know what? This this moment is really important. And apparently you fucking didn't hear us a few months ago. So now we got to pull the plug again and put the attention back on the issue of

police violence and racism and it's man started by the bucks yeah uh and the milwaukee bucks miles as you were pointing out are a team that has experienced the racism obviously jacob blake's shooting happened in wisconsin and they were the team that started off the the movement to you know strike yeah i mean players on that team sterling brown what there was a video of him because he was illegally parked or something he's like in a handicap waiting for somebody like late at night to get something at a pharmacy i could could have been any i'm maybe confusing every other video i see where black people just pulled out of their car and brutalized by police but there was a video of him being pulled out of a car using a taser on him holding him down with their knees uh you know he wrote

about that experience the a former player back in 2015 john henson was also like racially profiled at a jewelry store like these this franchise knows they like, damn, we got to put this city on our fucking bodies and go out there and give these people some semblance of local pride. Yet we're living in a state where they don't give a fuck about us. And so, yeah, when they decided to strike, they're like, we're asking that the legislature, the state legislature of Wisconsin reconvene to actually do something. We're not just saying we don't want to play because this bullshit they're saying please come back to make some meaningful change because this cannot keep going uh so it's wild too and when you hear like the officials of how law enforcement talks in wisconsin you can only uh it's it's alarming um yeah the kenosha county sheriff david beth uh you know people are

unearthing this clip of him from 2018 uh where after a retail theft uh by four black teenagers uh he went on this long screed about how these people, quote unquote, should be put away for good, put in a warehouse. Listen to his words. I mean, I just want people to listen to his words because this is a person in a position of power to run law enforcement and is at the helm of an agency that, again, is out there to brutalize people. Society has to come to a threshold where there's some people that aren't worth saving. We need to build warehouses to put these people into it and lock them away for the rest of their lives.

Let's put them in jail let's let's stop them from truly at least some of these males going out and getting 10 other women pregnant and having small children let's put them away at some point we have to stop being politically correct and i don't care what race i don't care how old they are if there's a threshold that they cross these people have to be warehoused no recreational time in the jails we put them away we put them away for the rest of their lives so that the rest of us can be better that's just you know that's yeah they want to put us in concentration camps yeah we're not human we're not human we're not you know this is and these there has to be a threshold because that's the whole game of it you know what i mean is just that

let's just set up black people to be fully disenfranchised for centuries okay and then get them to the point where they have to act out of self-interest and then we as oppressors can call that crossing the line not our disenfranchisement of these people them actually trying to survive we will call that crossing the line that's the only way these white supremacists can keep this like fake ass moral high ground of like well these people shouldn't be out here destroying property it's just to completely ignore the situation the country has created. And acting like this shit happened just out of nowhere. It's just so disingenuous.

Please, please. I mean, like those arguments are just made to completely ignore the fact that it's not crossing. We just need to set up a threshold. Well, you know what? Y'all crossed that threshold when you brought us over here in bondage and then decided to not really do anything about it once there was slavery was ended and just find all these other ways to profit off of black bodies and black suffering that's it but you know yeah when you don't put in the proper supports um you can't be surprised when people you know when they act out man it's like being at a school and you know you're in a

classroom where it's overcrowded. There's there's no textbooks. The teacher doesn't care. The teacher is checked out. They teach from the seat. And then all of a sudden you have three kids that are, you know, ditching class, fighting the hallways and you expel them instead of realizing that that's not the issue. You got to go to the root of the issue, which is about providing the proper supports. that that's not the issue. You got to go to the root of the issue, which is about providing the proper supports. Make sure you have,

you know, more programs for, for, for all the, all the people in these communities or opportunities for jobs, more afterschool programs, more, more places to release, you know,

their frustration and therapy and all these different things. That's why people say defunding police. We're not talking about totally, you know, taking away the ability for cops to do their job. We're just talking about don't overfund them. Like they don't need militarized weapons and all these different things. You can stop people from becoming criminals by giving them the things they need to become successful adults.

That's all it is, man. And they know that. But it's about the profit that comes from, you know, privatizing prisons and all these different things like that with those scandals like paying you know different judges for kids and stuff like that to get locked up so it's all interconnected man and some

cops willfully know that they're a part of the problem some are brainwashed and they don't even know you know there's a reason why they hire cops who aren't educated because they don't want to deal with a brain they want to deal with a body just do as i say and trust me right now so take this training and be reactive constantly and learn to fear this skin color that's all and there you go just just a quick quick two-month course i'll send you on your way yeah i've been reading uh about the rwandan genocide lately just because I'm trying to find historical precedence for what we're seeing, the beginning stages of what we're seeing. who are the people they basically tried to eradicate,

almost succeeded in eradicating, that they would give Tootsie students access to the good universities and to the good high schools, like a small number of them, but they would only accept the ones who had the lowest scores so they basically created a system in which they technically could succeed and then ensured they

wouldn't to it's just the the amount of thought and effort and design that is going in to, to that system and our system. Yeah. Like the, so, so that it's so complicated and sounds like paranoid to, to say that stuff that that's what they're doing. Yeah.

That's what they're doing. Yeah. I mean, people like people trip about that, that viral clip on Twitter of like the Chinese kids, like all dribbling two basketballs and then switching to like the next one. And they're doing yeah i mean people like people trip about that that viral clip on twitter of like the chinese kids like all dribbling two basketballs and then switching to like the next one and they're like yeah that's the kind of shit you do if you want to get kids literate in how to play basketball like if you start that that early i wouldn't be surprised if some just beast dribblers come out of there in 15 years because this was a game you were playing as children it's the same there's a way

you can be like if you get them started early enough or if you if you begin to create the chaos early enough that you can see it just play out just put on cruise control and just make part of their lives yeah and then after that it just goes on like you know it's on it's on auto from that point you know you you get the gears going and they continue itself or you could put that money into actually helping people. That's truly your goal. But it's not. Because you really want to tell people that you make sure every kid is in pre-K, you know, so they don't start two years behind when they finally get to free public school and kindergarten.

You know, it's different things like that, man. So I think one thing that gives me hope, you know, the youth. I think young people get it more than not. So sadly enough, people just got to die. Old people just got to die. New generations got to come in. Yeah, that will kind of fix his history as we kind of follow. It's us.

It's people currently fighting against the wave. But then also the people of the past kind of moving on with their old beliefs and then new people coming in and newer people coming in you know so time time heals all and then we just got to fight all these young racist kids that too yeah yeah because the cycle continues yeah because social media is dope because you you get a lot of truth out there right people but what happens to the problem with social media is that back in the day before social media if you had someone with like these um offensive beliefs they used to express it out loud and then they get shunned by the group and say hey that's wrong they get educated and

they have to educate themselves and understand to be able to be a part of the group but now you don't have to do that no more social media you can find people that think just like you you find them isolated world change your handle yes facts and so you rebuild this group and so now your negative views are cemented because you found other ignorant motherfuckers i think like you and now all of a sudden it's a you know it's an issue yeah it's funny because Arsenal their sponsor is Rwanda and the president is like a huge fan of the club and they're like the UN was like

we gave y'all 40 million dollars in aid and you signed a 20 million dollar kit sponsor deal with this soccer team Jesus I'm reading we wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our families is the book I'm reading that's to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families is the book I'm reading that's like a New Yorker

reporter who went into Rwanda and that was actually a note that one person wrote to their priest to be like hey can you help us out because we've been told we're gonna all be killed tomorrow

they used their radio station to like really yeah organize people that was their social media yeah man and like that's kind of what trump we really gotta get trump out of office bro this is so important i don't think i don't think america survived another four years to be honest with you uh it's gonna look drastically different if he uh gets re-elected but uh yeah yeah because he's he just has no moral compass whatsoever you know like he there's no guilt and so you can't you can't check him there's nothing you can do to like slow slow him down just a lizard brain yeah i don't know yeah there's a there's a figure who's like the head of propaganda in the rwandan, the Hutu power movement, which ends up kind of committing the genocide who they describe as like,

it sounded like they were talking about Trump because they were like, everything you throw at him, he turns into a weapon back against you and like uses it for his own devices. And it's just, it's demoralizing. It's exhausting, bro. It's exhausting. Yeah's exhausting yeah yeah you know like black

people aren't any more or less mad or upset than it's been for ever which is so wild to me throughout all this like when doc rivers was out there like crying about like how do we love this country yet the country will not love us back yeah and it's true like so many people have said it i feel like you know like black people have really helped embody like what the actual american dream is like you fucking getting spit on and just demoralized constantly yet there's this still this like belief that it can be better and that everyone can succeed yeah it's just and it's like a it's like an abusive home where like you you have no other place to go and so you trust it and you have to trust it you have to love it because it's family you know what i'm saying and you have really

great days and then all of a sudden boom you're getting abused again and uh yeah it's a it's a fucked up relationship but you know there's a lot of positives to living in this country. But that does not mean we ignore the improvements that it needs to make, man. Because, you know, like I said, it's our responsibility. And we, you know, as a people, we believe in it. We wouldn't be talking about it to this extent if we didn't believe in America. You know, that's what it comes down to. We do believe in it yeah all right let's take another quick break and we'll be right back 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.

Join us on In Our Own World for cosmic conversations, stellar laughs and super corny dad jokes Listen to In Our Own World And we're back. most of the time. And we're back. Let's check in real quick with the global pandemic.

So we had touched on how the CDC basically threw science out the window to please the White House. And we were wondering, like, how did that, what was the process for getting that decision pushed through? Yeah. And we now know. Dude, this sounds so fucked up. This is what Sanjay Gupta said.

He was talking to Anthony Fauci, and this is what Anthony Fauci said to Sanjay Gupta. Quote, I was under general anesthesia in the operating room. Last Thursday was not part of any discussion or deliberation regarding these new testing recommendations. I'm concerned about the interpretations of these recommendations. I'm worried that it will give people the incorrect assumption that asymptomatic spread is not of great concern. In fact, it is. This man was in the OR when they decided to do this shit.

But he later goes on to say he doesn't believe there was some kind of like end around B.S. nonsense. And sure. But I would say that, too, if I was like, you know, you had to sort of take a certain amount of hits to keep your position to try and make sure this shit doesn't completely fall apart. make sure this shit doesn't completely fall apart. But yeah, like that really is, you know, to his point,

his biggest, his other concern is that people are going to think, Oh, if you, if you don't have symptoms and it's all good, like, then don't worry about it. Even if you may have been exposed, then it's all fine.

It's okay. So just a nice little texture to that, to see how, how we arrived at that point. Yeah, that's insane. And it's all, it's all about preventive measures.

So I don't understand what's people's beef with that. I understand Trump's beef because he wants to get reelected and the numbers don't look good. But man, I feel bad for Dr. Fauci. That means he probably, like last five, four months, he couldn't take a shit until everybody left the office. Like he just couldn't leave. He was just throwing in so many sh so many like stomachs always hurting he's like bro are we guys done yet y'all wanna go home

trump hadn't left yet oh fuck oh shit it's like he got a he got a uti from what this being as soon soon as he nodded off, they just switched everything. That's crazy, bro. So, yeah, I mean, I think at the end of the day, because then you have states like New York being like, well, we completely reject what the CDC is saying because that just doesn't make sense because we also have access to science.

Right. And that's not what it's telling us over here. Yeah, it's the same thing. Yeah, Trump's so focused on it, I think because it's easy to be like, well, CDC guidelines, CDC guidelines. And that used to mean something i think because it's easy to be like well cdc guidelines cdc guidelines and that used to mean something but now it's all in service of this nonsense and you know here we go it's a nightmare yo and it's yeah that's why you have so many states

on different pages man yeah right yeah there's no leadership i mean when you read like the i remember early on reading the kind of guidebook or sort of playbook for how you deal with a global pandemic and it's like heads of state uh just have one very consistent short and clear message and then they kind of get out of the way so that doctors can come in and doctors and scientists can come in and like be the authoritative voice and it's just almost like he read that and was like i will do the exact opposite i will do everything to undermine that because he thrives on chaos yeah you know um well let's talk about uh what people are watching on streaming right now.

Oh, give people their homework over the weekend. Get your mind off of the putrid buffet of American reality. Yep. What is... What's trending? What's good? Lucifer is number one. Lucifer?

Lucifer. Wasn't that like a show on Fox? I think it was. Is there a new season? I think they must have new episodes or something. And the trailer is just him getting out of the pool with... No shirt on, probably? No shirt on.

Yeah, okay. Just real deep eye contact with the viewer. Oh, with Satan himself. As he does so. And then taking a big swig of some dark liquor because he's a bad man, just letting you know. Yeah. There's no way Satan is in shape.

You know what I'm saying? You need AC to work out. You know, there's – Right. That doesn't – Or just so shredded up because it's like, man, I just sweat it all out. Yeah, right. That's a good point that's true

you ever done a hell workout you only gotta do like three things before you fucking die yeah you find a site like Skip Bayless that's what I imagine just a body like Skip Bayless

you know yeah have you seen Skip Bayless he's shredded dude oh yeah yeah Skip and Shannon some workout

workout at Hobbit yeah Hoops is trending that trending this new animated show from uh that guy who had a show on comedy central for a while like ben something yeah isn't it yeah it's like a failed uh high school football or basketball coach uh ben hoffman has a foul yeah ben hoff. You remember him? He had that show that was like Project... I think it had Ben

in the title. Oh, okay. Anyways, I don't know what to think about that yet. I'm going to let some people whose taste I trust watch it and then I will decide if I'm going to watch that. Umbrella Academy

has been still up there. Project Power is breaking records. Only five other projects have spent eight consecutive days at number one. Did you guys like the movie? I haven't seen it yet. Jack watched it last week.

I thought it was cool. Not a fan? I love the concept. It was like Limitless, but they remixed it a little bit. But I thought the girl was great. I forgot her. What's her name? The girl that starred in it? Yeah.

Yeah, she was amazing. But I don't know. I feel like it fell flat a little bit. Fishback, yeah. I liked Jamie Foxx a lot. Jamie's always dope. Yeah yeah he was really dope um uh kissing booth 2 oh no that's not on the tread that's just all one of the other ones that's been in the that was that that's netflix recommending that for me that's just them knowing

that i love i loved kissing booth one so a million dollar beach house i don't know what that is it's Knowing that I loved Kissing Booth 1. Million Dollar Beach House. I don't know what that is. It's like a property shit. Property Brothers. Just being like, hey, you want to create solidarity with millionaires with this aspirational TV show. You know what I mean? It's like, oh, that would be cool, honey, wouldn't it? That's why we should vote against capital gains taxes.

Like, what? This one at number seven, one BR? Was that one bedroom? Yes, I believe so. I like the description. Yeah. Yeah, me too.

Seeking her independence, a young woman moves to Los Angeles and settles into a cozy apartment complex with a disturbing sense of community. So she must have moved in like you're a bunch of UCB people or something. That's right. That's what it's about. Woman class.

The Legend of Korra, which is in the, I think, follow-up to The Last Airbender. It takes place in the same universe. I started in on The Last Airbender. It's dope, but I'm not going to have time to complete the series by the time we record a drunk parents miles hanging how the fuck at number nine that shit is trash

it's the i don't know how people are whatever i guess it's really the it's like the opposite of anything that would get you for a moment to think about anything about your life like it's so fucking chaotic and bad that you just be like man i'm not gonna think about watching this helps you forget about damn near everything but if you're like if you like comedy like you just get so incensed at how bad some of the plot is but yeah i think there's a lot of parents who are becoming drunk parents during quarantine they're like yeah that's real if you if you want to be a good virtual school learner you know because you got to teach your own kids now right so you need something so bad at it man i'm so bad it's a fantasy to do that man yeah

right you don't realize parents don't really hang out with their kids that much just you know teachers really kick it with the kids they they get them ready that's one hour in the morning they come after school they have daycare till what 6 37 come home give them dinner make them go to bed by nine that's three hours a day that's nothing that's nothing i hadn't met my two-year-old until uh yeah you're saying god doubts that it's your son? Yeah. Now that you met him? Yeah. I don't know. Look at his little calves. I don't know. That's right. Little calves.

Look at that nose. That's not my nose. No thighs. Yeah. You got a negative thigh. And then some honorable mentions. The Lost Husband is apparently the most popular movie of August for some reason. That's been in the top 10 on and off i think that's what

i'm gonna watch that's that josh dumail uh oh based on a book thing right yeah based on a like romance novel yeah yeah uh i think i'm gonna check that out i think i'm gonna watch the horror film based on somebody who thinks moving to la is a good idea. That sounds legit. Like, already, you've made a mistake. Are you a horror fan? Me? I like horror. I hate horror. You hate horror? Fuck, I don't fuck. I'm too jumpy as it is.

So after I'm like, oh, fuck, god! I'm like, ugh! I don't want to watch this shit. I can't, like... I don't know. The other thing, too, is like, especially as shit, I can't, like, I don't know. The other thing, too, is, like, especially this shit, I like deep, like, fucked up psychological thrillers. I love that one. It's just, like, some shit that's relying on a bunch of jump scares. I'm like, I don't like that experience.

But I like something that's a little fuck with my head. I don't care if it's morbid, but I don't necessarily gravitate towards it all the time. Life's scary enough. Yeah, my problem with horrors is the opposite. I don't like them sometimes because it's not scary enough oh shit because i can't get into kids being scary i don't care what you do to them how much makeup yeah they're like yeah how long the hair is i'm just like yeah this is six years old they're like you're i will fold your little ass up i can't get with that but I like horror films that could happen low key in real life it would be really fucked up if it did

It's my dog. He had a tweet. He said, why the fuck they make the cars go 100 miles per hour plus if you're not supposed to do that?

And I don't know. That tweet just kind of stuck with me for a week. You know, I was like, yeah, that's true. I read that one, too. I did. That one, I thought about that as well. Like, logically, why? It goes to 200, you know?

200 miles per hour, some of these cars. It's like, why? But then they'll have like the governance chip on there so it'll the the speedometer will say it goes there but the regulator will keep you from going that speed oh gotcha and then i know some like some cars i just remember on like uh well like what's that fucking car show anyway there's certain cars it knows if you're on a track the chip will deactivate because they're like, okay, you can be as reckless as you want on this private track.

It's like, ooh, boy. Another one is from at Sankofa Brown tweeting, striking and rioting are two tactics that the ruling class can't afford to have masses of people see as legitimate pathways to social change. And that's a straight up fact. And please remind yourself of that constantly when you watch the coverage and see what the changes we're going for. And then one more is from at Joy Engel. She like sort of quote tweeted a thing about Jared Kushner. And then one more is from, uh, at joy angle. Uh,

she like sort of quote tweeted a thing about, uh, Jared Kushner. It was like a thing about saying how he was going to talk to LeBron James. And he said, what I'd love to see from the players in the NBA. Again, they have the luxury of taking a night off from work.

Most Americans don't. That, that, that, that, that, that, that,

that, that, that, And then she just tweeted friendly reminder that I once went on a date with Kushner and it was the era when people making guac at the table was novel and I thanked the server and he said they don't like it when you talk to them and I was like yeah that sounds like

I don't even know if it's real or not but that's real bro I believe that that sounds like it fits his face you know yeah yeah yeah if you're making it up you would have if you're making it up he would have told you not to talk to them or said like I don't like it when you address the help. But that is, like, so specific.

Exactly. He's saying they don't like it when you talk to them? In that order, yeah. Wow. Are you an empath? Did you sense that? You felt this working person's likes and, oh, okay, thank you, Jared. Tell me more. Yes, please, likes and... Oh, okay. Thank you, Jared. Tell me more.
