Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akela Hughes, and Rebel Spirit season two is about both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people. Listen to Rebel Spirit season two on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's going on, Internet?
Starting point is 00:02:42 What's going on, Zite, gang? Welcome to this Wednesday, Tuesday, June 16th edition of New York State of Zite. There we. Shout out to Hanna Rammock View for that short show title. Like I said, it's Tuesday, June 16th. I'm out of Mous Gray. I'm joined by Brian. editor.
Starting point is 00:03:04 What's up, y'all? What's up, Brian? I'm here for some bad news. Oh, well, guess what? Let's start off with some, just some riveting. Well, bad news for Mitch McConnell. The 84-year-old senator was hospitalized over the week. We were going to talk about it on the morning trends, but it just, we didn't have
Starting point is 00:03:23 time to talk about it. 84-year-old senator has been hospitalized, but the GOP really likes this thing where like someone's gone or in the hospital, and they just don't fuck. fucking even say why it's just like i don't know these fucking he's in the hospital dude he's 84 man why you keep asking these questions well that's because the gop it strongly believes in like you know a right to privacy especially with medical records and stuff never use like a i companies a spy on you and all that stuff oh you want it you try to get me slippin with a hipa violation no you'll never catch me slip uh with the hippa okay but yeah no one really knows why he's in the hospital
Starting point is 00:04:02 Majority Leader John Thune on Monday said, quote, spoke to Senator Mitch McConnell after his hospitalization, quote, he sounded good. He wants to be back. That's a lie. He never sounds good. You never, you never, he never sounds good. You don't got to say, also, yo, yeah, he sounds good.
Starting point is 00:04:17 The 84-year-old guy, just to run back to him. He's still alive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, bro, the heart monitor is still going, beep, beep. So we're still rocking. And I'm sure if he were able to speak. he would say, his grandkids haven't pulled the plug yet.
Starting point is 00:04:36 I think, I don't know what's going to happen, right? So in February, he was in the hospital for eight days with flu-like symptoms. Then he fell over at the capital in October when, you know, people were like in his face, rightfully about ice raids. Then he fell over again in December 24th. And then he fell over again. in March in 2023 when he got concussed. I don't know, man. I have, it's just, I have trouble believing anybody about anything these days. But the fact that they aren't saying being cagy about it, I'm like, yeah, that's probably
Starting point is 00:05:15 not good, you know, otherwise they would be like, no, no, he's fine. It's just like, it's a routine hospitalization. People do this all the time. Hey, wait, whatever happened to Rudy Giuliani, did he die? Bro, he made it. No, bro, he made it. He made it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Oh, wow. You got back on the mic and was like, I'm back. Because I remember, I remember it was touch and go for him. And then I didn't hear another single thing about it. And I, well, it's because once he was, once he, uh, you know, did the evanescence and bring me back to my. Bring me back. Save me. We were just like, fuck it, bro.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Yeah. All right. Evil. Evil continues to preserve. Because, dude, already he, he, he was posting bullshit about 63 people arrested and violent nicks as violent Knicks fans celebrate NBA finals win. So you don't need to save violent Knicks fans. You can just say,
Starting point is 00:06:08 yeah, that's what we're done. Yeah. You know what I mean? We know what you're trying to say. Just say that the non-whites of New York aren't behaving the way you wish they would. Anyway, so Mitch McConnell, we'll see. We'll see. We'll see what happens.
Starting point is 00:06:24 On to the GOP where there's, well, not really the White House, the infighting half begun over the Iran deal. Because now that a deal is somewhat looming on the horizon, I only say that because there's not even a deal. There's just a memorandum of understanding, which is just sort of like... The concept of an idea. We agree to like probably talk about this.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Yeah, yeah, okay, let's do that. Let's do that Friday. We're now starting to see different factions of the White House sort of splinter off. On one side, you have like the Hegg Seth, Rubio, CIA, Neocon guys who feel that this deal fucking sucks. Because really it doesn't satisfy their thirst for full-blown war. And on the other hand, you have Jared Kushner,
Starting point is 00:07:10 Wittkoff, and Vance, who really were instrumental, apparently, to getting this memorandum of understanding even off the ground, who clearly are like, yeah, this is fucking up the money. And from that perspective, something has to give. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:25 You fucking assholes. So you have this one side, like the CIA is siding with Rubio and Heggseth. because they are now sowing doubt in the White House of like, I don't even know, like they're actually gonna do it, guys.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Like, I don't know. Have you seen the thing that the CIA wrote? Like they said that they're not, this is from Axios quote, Ratcliffe, who's the head of the CIA,
Starting point is 00:07:45 isn't the only skeptic in Trump's top team. In internal discussion, Secretary of State Rubio and Secretary of Defense, Hig Seth, both expressed concerns and raised questions
Starting point is 00:07:53 about the memorandum of understanding. I'm just asking questions. I'm just asking questions, dude, while Vice President Vance and U.S. Envoy's Whitkoff and Kushner advocated for it. So right now,
Starting point is 00:08:06 it's hard to know. We still don't really know what's in it, aside from what the reports have been out of Iran, which is basically like the status quo prior to the war, plus now Iran will collect fees for passage through the strait, but it will be reopened in terms of like their, the, them backing groups like Hezbollah and stuff,
Starting point is 00:08:26 they're like, bro, that shit isn't on the table. That isn't up for discussion. They're like, What about your missiles? No, that's not up for discussion. We can talk about nuclear stuff, but really we're going to say, it sounds like they are pretty much realizing
Starting point is 00:08:41 that for the midterms, the U.S. economy, the global economy, they're like, yeah, man, we can kind of walk the White House into the direction we need to. But again, the memorandum is still under wraps,
Starting point is 00:08:54 like it's like a secret Kendrick album for some shit. We still haven't actually seen it. No, no, no, no. I'm not even sure. What was it? A memorandum of what? Understanding.
Starting point is 00:09:04 What that means? We've come to an agreement that we've come to an understanding that a deal will be made. We just need the time to do it. But we are saying that we have agreed. But is this like a legally binding thing or it's just like a good will, good faith? Yeah, it's good faith. And apparently, I mean, like, it's the closest, clearly, like, we've ever come to anything happening. But look, a lot can happen between now and Friday, which is when a,
Starting point is 00:09:30 that's when like people are really going to come face to face in Switzerland and really be like, okay, is this happening? And that's usually when Trump does something wild and crazy over the weekend and then pulls back. This is the thing now because with, you know, Netanyahu's coalition in Israel, they are so pissed off about this deal to the point where they're like, well, fuck you guys. Like, we're going to fucking keep doing whatever the fuck we want to do in Lebanon. Trump was, he's recently, he's speaking with the G7, I believe, and was saying something along the, he was asked about like, hey, what about Bibi? You know, like, you know, there's what's going to happen with the ongoing attacks in Lebanon
Starting point is 00:10:10 and the deal you got going. He said, quote, without the U.S., there would be no Israel. Without me, there would be no Israel because no other president was willing to do what I did. I've had a great relationship with Bibi. Now BBS should be more responsible with respect to Lebanon. Bibi really is the dude at the end of Dr. Strange Love just riding that bomb all right down. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, baby. With the cowboy hat and everything. So we'll see. There's still time for fuckery in the straight or something to try and, I'm sure, like, for the people who are like,
Starting point is 00:10:44 they're like, Trump is just believing Vance, Wickoff and Kushner about this and we got to get him back on the fucking path to war. How are we going to do that? And if the CIA is involved, I'm like, well, what the fuck are y'all? I can only imagine what kind of weird shit you might cook up to try and drag America out of any kind of cessation of war. But we'll see. It's only
Starting point is 00:11:07 Tuesday. We've got time. Moving on, Cash Patel, with another fucking huge W to hang over everybody's heads. Apparently, he thwarted a massive attack
Starting point is 00:11:23 that was going to ruin Trump's 80th sweaty man birthday party that he threw himself. Wow. You want to hear about it? You want to hear about it? Please clap. This is what he posted on Twitter. Quote, on June 10th, FBI and our law enforcement partners became aware of a potential
Starting point is 00:11:39 threat to the UFC America 250 event in Washington, D.C., involving individuals outside of the national capital region. Thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks. were stopped coal. Allegedly. Bland attacks. It's so interesting.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Okay. You'll have to forgive me that I'm just a wee bit cynical because I tend to not believe liars who give out self-branded whiskey bottles just generally. But he's claiming that he's done a good job as FBI director. He then shared a story from Fox News, which, quote, reported that a group allegedly planned
Starting point is 00:12:21 to use drones with explosives to hit buildings near the fight and target the crowds as they fled with a sniper team. Fox News also reported that other alleged perpetrators then planned to storm the White House gate. NBC News, however, has not confirmed the details of the alleged plot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so that make, you're going to, so you're going to fly drones and hit buildings around the White House? You're not just going to go straight up for the fucking event itself? Yeah, I mean, guys, come on.
Starting point is 00:12:53 having you seen White House down or that other White House movie, Olympus has fallen? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it's like, it feels like a full-on, like Michael Bayes scene when it's like, the plan is so chaos and then funnel them into a kill zone where sniper team, a sniper team is just taking pot shots at individual people when you have, whatever. Some of the things that I've read underground tunnels and it's the white hat. What the fuck are we talking about here?
Starting point is 00:13:20 I don't know. I don't know, dude. I don't know. Uh, one thing that they did say, uh, this is from the Fox report. It said, quote, one suspect allegedly told investigators, the goal was to target, quote, capitalist elites billionaires or politicians who have received donations from APAC. Okay. This is giving Black's rule so much. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:45 What the fuck? Or like, what was the one? They were like, all the writing on the bullets was the other thing when it was like, yeah, yeah. Wasn't that the Kirk dude? Or no, no, there was like when they were a shooting at an ice facility or something, and it was like ice bad or whatever. So clearly Cash Patel is feeling insecure at his job because it feels like he does some shit like this to pump his own dick up, you know, to be like, you see what I did,
Starting point is 00:14:09 dude? He's got to get a little announcement out there so he doesn't seem quite so lost and incompetent. Well, obviously, I mean, we may so doubt over this potential thwarted attack, But surely the president of the United States himself knew about this heroic operation to protect his birthday party, right? The president, were you briefed on the attack, attack plans for the UFC event at the White House? He's not. The FBI awarded an attack. She's like, are you aware of the attack?
Starting point is 00:14:41 And he's just looking like, um, and then so she's like, okay, okay. Sure, you need some more detail. Okay, let me give you some more detail. There was the FBI awarded an attack I haven't heard about it now But the attack that I watched Were the fighters
Starting point is 00:14:57 I saw the fight though Ah no No don't know anything about that The attack I saw was in the ring Huh? That was crazy He has no No idea about it
Starting point is 00:15:11 So cash dude You gotta do a better job at lying man Like you gotta get First of all dude We don't give a fuck about this You need to to get him to fucking understand that you're doing shit. Okay?
Starting point is 00:15:23 But, you know, chin up, chin up. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back with some more news. Experience. You and a pal in Montreal and Oceaga, with four nights at residents in downtown Montreal, flights from Porter Airlines, two weekend gold tickets,

Starting point is 00:19:09 And we're back. A couple quick things to talk about. First up, did you know the COVID vaccines didn't kill every celebrity that has died since 2021? I just want to put that out there. No, did not, did not. And I know that was something that you and I talked privately a lot about this off-light because Jack didn't want to spread. Color me surprised. Color me surprised.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Look, the thing is, you and I know the truth, okay? But apparently there's a new study that the truth seems to be that the COVID vaccine, quote, reduced the risk of major cardiovascular events linked to COVID-19, including strokes, heart attacks and hospitalization from heart disease by about 40 percent. And then in that same study, it said that the vaccine had a, quote, broader public health benefit and modestly reduced cardiovascular conditions, hospitalizations, and deaths of all causes, including those not linked to COVID. So overall, yeah, okay. I'm glad to know that when I believe scientists and medical experts that that paid off. But just, just a official. What about my sperm miles? Bro. It's gone bad.
Starting point is 00:20:18 I know. I know. you've sent me the samples it's all messed up man yeah and again I think I told you I'm not a urologist or any kind of specialist with that kind of thing so I can only do so much but just tell me what you think I think it's cool bro
Starting point is 00:20:36 I think it's cool that all your sperm did I think it's cool bro like I don't even know what you're saying bro but I want to support you dog and I support you thank you um so Sean Penn fresh off his role in one battle after another where he played RFK in the military. Did you see him in the Charlie Sheen, Doc?
Starting point is 00:20:57 No, the one that recently came out about like their heyday in the 80s. He's so fucking weird. What was he doing? In riddles and shit. Like, and never mind. Anyway, he's just so bizarre to me. Yeah, he's so bizarre. So bizarre.
Starting point is 00:21:12 His new project is also going to be dealing with current events. This time it's January 6th. according to deadline. Who's he going to be Bovino or something? The currently entitled film will follow the early life of a cop who goes on to be caught up in the January 6th Capitol riots. Penn has scripted and will direct the movie, which has five-time Oscar-nominated actor Bradley Cooper in talks to star in the lead role. There's no deal yet. This goes on to say the project has been described to us as an unexpected story about friendship.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Wait, is it? It's like a buddy-pop movie. Yeah, he's he's gonna yeah, the fucking capital police officer becomes friends with the fucking Q&on shaman or something and they're like, yeah, bro, it's just, I would love to see this end up like just somehow like end up as like a Kevin Hart rock movie. It just ends up in development hell and it turns into like some. Yeah. And it just turns into this fucking shit show comedy. All right. So it's Kevin Hart and Sidney.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Okay. Can you think of a more unlikely? dual. It said we're told, oh, it says, but it will function on multiple levels based on one of the real life cops caught up in the capital attack. The project is understood to have buy-in from its subject. However, their identity is being kept under wraps for now. We're told the focus is on the subject's early journey, one that led him to later become an American hero in the eyes of many. It's not a January 6th movie per se. Not sure what this will be like. But it just happened. on 9-11. It's not a 9-11 movie. He did. He wrote some 9-11 thing, too. Like, he's into this shit.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Like, he loves talking about America, you know, like in his own, uh, in his own work where he's, like, writing and directing. But if you look, right, like, a lot of people clocked that he was, like, at a hearing about the January 6 riots. And he was sat with a bunch of the, like, capital police officers and was talking to, like, the most well-known January 6 Capitol cop, Michael Fanon. and people are starting to speculate. They're like, it's probably about Michael Fenno. We're just going to go out on a limb here and say that just because of A, he's been talking to Sean Penn and also that he is also like this is his like backstory, which it feels like fodder for a movie. This is from deadline.
Starting point is 00:23:39 He served as a cop from 2001 until his retirement in 2021 and like Cooper has Italian heritage, a one-time Trump supporter. He joined the Capitol Police in the aftermath of 9-11, but later fell out of love with. the president, the divorced father of four daughters who has faced relentless threats from political extremists, wrote a book called Hold the Line in which he detailed multiple unlikely friendships, including with a black transgender sex worker named Leslie, whom he brought to meet younger officers to foster understanding of the diverse communities they swore to protect, and with folk icon John Baez stemming from a portrait she painted of him defending the capital. So we'll see. We'll see what Shawnee P. brings. But okay. All right. Still not, still not certain.
Starting point is 00:24:19 when this will happen because apparently Bradley Cooper is tied up until middle of next year with the new oceans film. So, cool. Have you, you've been watching the World Cup? Ambienly? No. No. Just around you. Well, you sent me that video
Starting point is 00:24:35 of like all the Mexican fans like partying. Was that you around like other people in Mexico? Well, that's the thing. I just, I merely went outside. It's like that everywhere. It's like that at the bakery across the street. It's like that at, you know, every cafe with a TV. I like that part of it, but I'm not really particularly interested in watching sport.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Sure, sure, sure. Sport ball. No, I get that. Well, that's, I think, the beauty of you being in a country where everyone isn't ashamed of living there at the moment and is like, hey, man, we might win. And this is a team that we like. And I'm just like, it would be inauthentic for me to like all of a sudden start watching football.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Oh, sure. But I mean, either way. But I do like, I do enjoy how much. which everyone is into it, especially here. Like, it's really, there's a lot of pride. Well, sounds great. If you have been watching, and for all of us that have been watching,
Starting point is 00:25:31 you may have noticed how corporate greed has found a new way to affect the games. It's the hydration breaks. And if you've noticed, every half, there's a three-minute hydration break, which does not happen traditionally in, like, world soccer. you don't have hydration breaks to take water.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Because on the broadcast in the U.S., it immediately just becomes a fucking commercial, like ad break. And they're just cramming in ads. But it's not new. It was actually like, it first started in the 2014 World Cup, but that was on a match-by-match basis
Starting point is 00:26:06 where the temperatures, like, reached levels deemed risky for the players. And I'm like, okay, the forecast for this day, we're going to probably need to have a hydration break so people don't just keel over on the field. But now in this World Cup, it's in every fucking match, regardless of the actual weather.
Starting point is 00:26:22 And how many matches is that again? 104. Ooh. That's a lot of commercials, baby. It's a lot of commercials. We just created from, yeah, so you go 104 matches, and now you've created two new ad breaks from there. You have 208 ad breaks.
Starting point is 00:26:41 And I think they were projected ahead of time to make like $4 billion from ads without having done this. Hey, just called a sweetener, Brian. A little sweetener, bro. Just throw that on top. I'm not watching the World Cup, but I am following the World Cup.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good. That's good. Do Mexico's looking great? I'm surprised. I mean, like the businessy, the corruption side of it. Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:07 That's what's really interesting to me. I'm like, hmm. If for the people who are interested in FIFA fuckery, I helped produce a podcast many years ago called Lords of Soccer If you want to check out, it just talks about all the shady backroom deals of FIFA and how like, you know, like people will buy like votes from smaller nations to get, you know, World Cup in places like Russia or Qatar. Anyway, Lords of Soccer, quick plug for a show that I worked on.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Yeah. So the one thing that has been really interesting because like on the BBC, they don't cut away for commercials. Like, what are you talking about? The only time we'd ever cut away for commercials half time. We're like, that's the only time there's traditionally a ad. about it. Well, yeah, and they're just like, you think it's just tradition.
Starting point is 00:27:50 They're like, what the fuck? Like, we're not trying to sell ads on this. A lot of people were like, in that broadcast on the BBC, like they can just see that every screen in the stadium suddenly is inundated with ads like promoting Powerade.
Starting point is 00:28:02 So you cannot escape the advertisements. And again, with the weather happening, like there was a hydration break after 10 p.m. in the Scotland Haiti match. And, like, that was played in Massachusetts on Saturday.
Starting point is 00:28:17 You don't, it's, it's not peak fucking heat at 10 at night, yet they still did it. Oh, so they're doing it even when it's not. No, it's just every single one. It's like so craving. Netherlands Japan match, Netherlands Japan match that happened on Sunday, they took one. That was in the air-conditioned AT&T stadium. Oh, boy. So, you know, a lot of the players have been like, this is like a momentum killer.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Some coaches are like, you know, it's nice that I can like kind of, get everybody to the side to talk to them. But every player who's playing, you know, professionally, like, this isn't the norm. And a lot of, like, it really should just be on a match-by-match base. Like, everyone gets that it can be too hot and you just do need a second to just, like, rehydrate or things become unsafe. But yeah, if you're on go, I can see how that, like, stopping every fucking 10 minutes is going to really fuck your flow up.
Starting point is 00:29:12 They're on-go like fucking Bia right now. Okay. And then that's it. Huh. I was going to say, wow, we made it. We smashed through the guardrails.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Smashed through the guardrails to the end. Guys, I don't like hydration brakes. Also, did you see that clip that? Why can't they just, like, give him, like, little IV bags,
Starting point is 00:29:36 like to play with? To strap, give him like a little arm strap or something. No, put it on the metal stand and also have, like, a nurse or someone, run with them.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Run with them. So they don't fucking bust loose from the iv. So stupid. Oh, other thing, there was like all these like extreme sports accidents. There was like that plane crash with skydivers that happened. Oh, I miss this. Over the weekend. Then there was this woman in Brazil who did like a rope jump off a bridge and the people
Starting point is 00:30:08 didn't tether her. It's like, it's like a Looney Tunes cartoon, but horrifically real. Oh, God. All three, like, just in Brazil, like, they've been, like, arrested for, like, murder, basically, even though it was, like, obviously, like, neglect. But it's just, yeah. No, I've definitely heard of that happening with, like, there's this one, there's this one, like, theme park ride where it's, like, you drop down into this big net and they forgot to pull the net up. And you're just like, what the fuck of y'all doing? Like, it's the one thing you need to do.
Starting point is 00:30:42 That's also like why part of me Like I would love the I like the idea of skydiving Like the idea of it being safe The idea of like flying through the air Like that has appealed to me But it's just everything around it that I'm like I gotta jump out of a plane I don't know about that
Starting point is 00:31:00 Shit can go wrong There's like so many I don't know It's like because my whole thing with skydiving is Kind of like you where I'm like I'm not fully opposed to it I definitely prefer it to the idea like bungee jump or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:13 But, like, I would have to, like, I would have to learn how it's kind of like when you go scuba diving, I wouldn't want somebody setting up my gear. I'd have to learn how to do it properly and do it myself because I'm like, I can't trust that to somebody else. Can't trust it. We all know. All right. Well, thanks for joining us.

Starting point is 00:32:00 Yeah. Because it just fucked you up. You were like, oh, blah, nah. Well, that was the thing. I didn't really feel that bad, but like, I just couldn't, couldn't do it. And it was like, two weeks. And then at the end of that two weeks, I was like, oh. Well, then great, dude.
