Hello, this is Ruthie Rogers, host of Ruthie's Table 4.
Ali called me the stray dog because I would always turn up at my mate's house at mealtimes.
This week, I'm talking to Bono.
All of my ideas about social justice, or rather the lack of it, came from my father too.
People have to have health, housing, and education drilled into me
and his values. Listen to Ruthie's Table 4 on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts. I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time,
have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. but there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no

I'm Dr. Joy Harden-Bradford, host of the Therapy for Black
Girls podcast. I know how overwhelming it can feel if
flying makes you anxious. In session 418 of the Therapy for
Black Girls podcast,
Dr. Angela Neal-Bornett and I discussed flight anxiety. What is not normal is to allow it to
prevent you from doing the things that you want to do, the things that you were meant to do.
Listen to Therapy for Black Girls on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, the Internet and welcome to this episode of Release the Trend Steam Files.
Release them. Release them.
My name is Jack, but over there is Mr.
Miles Gray. Hey, you know, Kevin Spacey.
Kevin Spacey is out here also saying release them. Oh, yeah.
He's like I was on the flight logs, but I did not inhale.
Yeah, exactly. And it's like, but you
still did other stuff outside of Epstein, dude. Right. Yeah, but I'm not in the Epstein files.
So, but I'm not in the bad parts of it. You sure you sure about that? You sure about that?
Republicans. So the Democrats, I think did a good one. They Democrats, so what they're good at, I would say,
is sometimes using the Republican stupidity against them.
And they just forced the Republicans to move
to block the release of the Epstein files.
So the Republicans are now on wax,
all except one Republican in the house.
Yeah, this was on the house.
I believe in the rules committee.
Yeah. Yeah.
All but one had to be like, yeah, we're,
we don't want to see that stuff.
Everybody, nobody wants to keep talking
about Jeffrey Epstein.
Yeah. Yeah.
We're over it.
It's like, like this was the way they did it was they were
trying to attach it to a crypto bill
when they're like, I don't know, maybe this kind of has everything.
It's like your crypto legislation, your Epstein file stuff.
Only one, the one Republican was Ralph Norman from South Carolina.
And he said to Axios, the public's been asking for it.
I think there are files all of a sudden not to have files is a little strange.
We'll see how it plays out. I think the president will do the right thing. This guy is actually so
dumb. He doesn't think Trump is in them. Right. He doesn't know. I think that I don't know. I guess
there's these files that people are calling the Epstein files. Yeah. And to not have them,
that's a little weird. I'm sure the president will do okay. I don't know why he wouldn't want them out
unless he's, you know, like. Unless his pictures are real.
He's so dumb that it seems like he's playing dumb.
He's just.
I know, right?
He's like, I don't know, because like,
they were saying back there that they were a thing
in this closed door meeting, but now when we're out here,
they're saying that it's not a thing.
Yeah.
And so, I don't know.
I think the president will do the right thing.
I'm just gonna put the ball in his court.
Should be easy.
Yeah. Slam easy. Yeah.
Tough one because he's in them. Oh boy. Yeah.
Charlie Kirk has along with that. Yeah. Yeah.
He's similar energy where he,
so he at his turning point USA conference had the conversation and then at one
point was like,
all right, I'm done talking about the Epstein files.
He said, yeah, and all the headlines were,
Charlie Kirk says, I'm done talking about the Epstein files.
And all the people who watch his show or whatever,
his like white supremacy rant vlog
that has a microphone in it, like a radio show,
they fucking flipped out when he was acting like,
I'm gonna tow the fucking administration line here
and act like this is a nothing burger, hamburger.
Hamburger, nothing.
And this is him this morning,
absolutely just flailing,
trying to explain what he actually meant.
And if you just listen to how tense his voice is.
You will get to a part where he's audibly swallowing
like a fucking stressed out cartoon character.
The loudest swallow on earth.
But here he is clarifying it.
I'm not done talking about it.
Kirk.
So this is what I said yesterday.
He's waving some funny
We said this last weekend at our event about Epstein
Honestly, I'm done about talking about Epstein for the time being nobody not a single news outlet said for the time being
They did not include that second part of the sentence
I'm going to trust my friends of the administration true. I'm gonna trust
Cash Patel Dan Bongino JD Vance. It's their ball. It's their possession
I'm gonna trust my friends of the government to do what needs to be done
I've said plenty this weekend and the ball is in their hands here comes the guys want to come to go commentary on it
That's fine. We have escalatory action
Read my statement being taken from Ukraine and Russia. Google? We have tons of announcements. Ugh. I told you.
If you read my statement.
Ugh, man.
You know when the fucking blow, like the drip just numbs your throat and you gotta like
use your whole chest to just even swallow a little bit of spit.
Cause the throat's not working?
Yeah.
It's that or the Adderall.
I don't know, dude.
But yeah, I said for the time being, I I mean really though the the real part that is relevant
Is that you said you're done talking about it and that you're gonna trust your friends in the government
Yeah, which the whole point that everybody's making right now is like we don't trust the government because they're doing some highly suspect shit
with the Epstein files, mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So
For now I'm gonna trust them until tomorrow morning when I'm not going to trust
them anymore because you guys got mad at me.
Why is everybody so mad at me?
Gulp.
I'm just toeing the line.
Gulp.
This is wild, man.
I'm telling you, I mean, like to your point, the Democrats, aside from all the many other
things they should be doing, they should really just keep pressing
the fucking Epstein button over and over
and over and over again, because the more they keep it,
I mean, they're not letting up.
And you can tell, especially with this Charlie Kirk thing,
they're truly at this point where they're like,
what the fuck, dude?
I don't even, I tried to act like I was done talking about it,
but even casually, and now I'm getting fucking killed.
Oh man, it's a tough one to be in.
It's a tough one.
Why do it, because this would now make it
so that any journalist who is able to fucking
break what's in the Epstein files would win a Pulitzer.
Like it's no longer, you can no longer be like, too tawdry.
Like everybody wants to know what the fuck's in the,
Epstein files.
Like is the New York Times and the Washington Post, are they not covering
it just because that one investigative journalist who led the Panama Papers investigation died
in a car bomb and they're just like, we don't want it with these people.
I wish they looked at what they were doing is even that sort of dangerous.
They're just like, bro, we know what side we're on.
We're not, we're not going to're on. We're not gonna report on this
because that's gonna upend,
that has the potential to upend powerful structures
and people that are in positions of power.
If it is in fact, I mean, if we're gonna say
that the association with Epstein
and at the very least with Trump seems quite murky
to use terms that will not get me in legal trouble.
But you see the New York Times, you know how they have that ethicist column, where it's like,
ask the ethicist if you're okay, and what you're doing on a daily basis. Somebody wrote in and was
like, my husband's like family has an investment in real estate. One of the real estate investments is in an ice holding facility.
Am I cool?
And the New York Times ethicist was like, yeah, man, we're good here.
Like, yeah, they were just like, you know, if you weren't invested in it,
it wouldn't change anything.
So what the fuck? Yes.
Like, I can't believe they're laundering people's conscience now for shit like this.
Well, look, you're a landlord facility.
What the fuck is going on?
Oh, well, but that's what I do feel like that is what their job is, is primarily like the
voice of the status quo and to keep it moving,
you know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, of course, because they don't want to, because then that also makes people be like,
well, I'm invested in companies that are part of that build private prisons.
Is that okay to profit off of my stock?
Look, if you're not investing in them, somebody else is going to.
So you might as well get while the getting's good.
You know Sam
Okay, is it okay that I?
Find the phrase alligator Alcatraz like kind of cute and funny. Yes. Yes fine
That's totally fine. And and and you can take it from me Nancy Pelosi. Okay, I know about this stuff
It's fine. It's fine. Yeah. Anyways, New York Times doing their work.
What's the latest from the Supreme Court, Miles?
Oh, man.
Well, you know, so Trump is basically doing this thing.
This has been articulated for ages now, especially with Project 2025, is that they want the Department
of Education to go away because they want no standard for anything and you can have ignorant.
No public schools essentially.
Yeah.
And then you can flip them all to charters of whoever gets the money.
They can teach whatever the fuck they want and you can have a multiverse of historical
realities and educational realities in the United States.
So Trump's been firing like hundreds of DOE, Department of Education workers,
as like a way to sort of like pick it apart
so it doesn't function anymore.
And the firing has been obviously like,
this got taken up by the Supreme Court.
And the Supreme Court was basically like,
yeah, that's fine.
You can continue to fire these people.
But the thing that they're pointing out is,
he's firing the people that basically
have to implement the legally required programs and services.
So without them, it's like that old meme.
Without the people that legally implement them, you can't implement them and then therefore
they don't exist.
These services are legally required, however they're fired.
But the people that implement them, are they legally required?
Aha, aha.
Well, no, that would be pretty straightforward.
Like, I don't know, in any other circumstance,
I feel like that would be pretty straightforward.
I said aha.
I said aha.
So yes, this is- Aha, where's the spoon?
Yeah, this is death by a thousand cuts.
Now the education department.
So, yeah, Linda McMahon, you know,
she's probably gonna be off and running
with her campaign of destruction.
Jesus Christ.
So yeah, I mean, it's like, we're already,
the situation with our educational system
is already so precarious,
and it's like truly hanging by a few threads.
And you have teachers and instructors
that are so underpaid that you have people there
because they actually are so committed
to the idea of educating younger people
so they can flourish in life.
And now in terms of like the governmental body
that used to try and standardize things
and make discrimination and that kind of thing,
thing of the past, you know.
So long to that for now.
Oh yeah, that was the Department of Education, huh.
Okay, well we can't have that.
Yeah, yeah, so it's just like, I mean,
it's like, you know, this is just like everything
we read every fucking day from this administration.
Like, oh, that fundamental, like, pillar of our,
whatever made the government
kind of worth it, that's gone too, nah, okay, all right.
Yeah, yeah, all gone.
Let's take a quick break and we'll be back
because I mean, yes, the Department of Education is bad,
but at least we can rest on the fact
that they're probably not fucking up
US Malaysian relations.
We'll be right back to check on that fact.
What's up guys.
Welcome to Augusto Papa, the go to spot for everything.
Musica Mexicana.
We're proud Mexican Americans who live and breeze this music.
We started this podcast to share and discuss our views on Musica
Mexicana, whether you like peso pluma, Los Alegros del
Barranco,
Ariel Camacho, or Ivan Cornejo when you get in your feels, then this podcast is for you.
We deep dive into music reviews. Peso Pluma show last year, everything was a 10 out of 10.
Fashion and lifestyle inspired by the roots of Musica Mexicana, the craziest controversies
and cheese myths. I don't have nothing against Fuerza, you know, and I don't think Joe Peat should
be mad at me. Song and artist comparisons, competition in the scene.
There is competition, there is sides to this.
There's Pesoplooma, Double P, and there's J-O-P, Dream Mob.
I think at the end of the day, it's business, it's all competition.
And of course, our personal stories and opinions along the way.
This isn't just a podcast, it's a movement for fans who live music mexicana every single day.

We are telling our scientists today,
we have disdain for your expertise.
And then you have China as an exception saying,
actually we're gonna invest a trillion dollars
in new science.
Yeah, you heard that right. While the U.S. is cutting billions from science and public health, China is making historic investments.
That means here in the U.S. fewer breakthroughs, slower medical advances and a serious risk of falling behind globally.
I don't think anything about that is efficient. I think that it is actually profoundly inefficient. And she would know.
Chelsea Clinton is using her expertise in public health to break down what these cuts
really mean and why protecting science isn't just smart policy.
It's a necessity.
This week on Dope Labs, we're putting it all under the microscope with Chelsea Clinton,
diving into what's at stake for science, medicine, and our future.

I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time,
have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes,
but there's a company dedicated to a future
where the answer will always be no.
Across the country, cops called this Taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that Taser told them.
From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what
happened when a multi-billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission.
This is Absolute Season One, Taser Incorporated.

And we're back and we are in a sensitive time for US Malaysian relations,
according to people who pay attention to that sort of thing. And in light of that, Trump has just appointed
a new US ambassador to Malaysia.
Yep.
And it is Nick Adams, AKA Alpha King.
Yep.
Alpha King, stupid.
This guy, I thought he was a parody because-
It is really, it's the hardest to tell the difference between parody
and reality with this guy.
Because some of the shit he says is legitimately
unintentionally hilarious.
The way he insists, like, I eat fucking, you know,
Hooters four to six times a week.
Okay. Is that real?
That's what he posts. Wow. Okay. four to six times a week. Okay, that's what he posts
Wow, okay
This is just to give you an idea of like what he posts right? This is the kind of shit that Nick Adams post quote
Also, he's he's Australian. So he's another he's that variety of MAGA Aussie dip shit
Who's like just so horny for American racism that like they just like they show they show up here and they're like, I'm here to do the Lord's work.
Um, I've mastered Australian racism.
I go to Hooters.
I eat rare steaks.
I lift extremely heavy weights.
I read the Bible every night.
I am pursued by copious amounts of women.
I am wildly successful.
I have the physique of a Greek God.
I have an IQ of over 180. I am wildly successful. I have the physique of a Greek God. I have an IQ of over 180. I am extremely charismatic.
They hate this. That's right. It is the way you smoke too tough.
And he is trying to do that. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Your swag different.
You know what I mean? That's, that's so amazing. Yeah.
Just to be like, to be be make going to Hooters part of your identity is so like
11 year old coded. It's like, I mean, to be fair,
Taco Bell is our personality and I think that is the more adult choice.
That is the more adult because that is the more you really wiping up to be like
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no I go to Taco Bell and therefore I have low self-esteem. Yeah. And that's, I'm just trying to give you a larger portrait, a larger understanding of where my
personality is.
He goes on, this is another post quote, my ideal woman, 10 out of 10, Laura maintenance,
strong Trump supporter, no desire to interfere with my foursomes, picks me up from Hooters
whenever I've had few too many domestics with the boys. Has dinner ready at 5 PM.
Weren't you just at Hooters dickhead?
Uh, doesn't ask questions when I'm out late with the boys.
So you want your mother or something.
It sounds like this isn't a relationship, but a domestic worker.
Cause there's really nothing about sex aside from their appearance.
It sounds like you just need a like a
Like a writer or something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah personal
Work an air fryer get the one out of teen law maintenance as well might just after you throw toss some Brooklyn
Boss just throw it in the sink there quick rinse ready to go
But yeah, this guy is now the fucking ambassador to, or he's been nominated.
Now- He's just an influencer, right?
Like no reason that he should be the ambassador.
No, dude, so he used to hold office in Australia, okay?
And when he did-
Shout out to Australia, killing it down there, folks.
They really don't send their best, do they? They really don't send their best
He goes on he's like so he was he was in charge of this like municipality Ashfield and there was an avian flu
Situation this was his this was his solution to avian flu, which was basically kill the pigeons
He said Ashfield should be inhospitable to pigeons
It said avian avian influenza does not respect borders. I'm not an expert.
I'm not an accountant. I'm certainly not a pest controller. Don't ask me about procedure. What I
would like to see is no pigeons in our area. Wow. So that's easy. He also, again, he hates
multiculturalism. And then he got, this is from his Wikipedia, quote,
he ran into political trouble because his attempts
to launch himself as a motivational speaker in the US
meant that he was frequently absent from council meetings.
A journalist asked what his story was.
Adams answered with a tirade of abuse
and he was consequently suspended
from the Liberal Party for six months.
So yeah, he's just a guy.
Too sensitive.
Everybody's too damn sensitive these days
to deal with a real alpha king like him.
Did you see the, there's the guy who is also
been nominated to be the ambassador of Singapore,
but he's like a orthopedic surgeon.
Like, and he just golfs with Trump.
Yeah, this is Tammy Duckworth grilling him just on the basics, right? It's like you're gonna
be the fucking ambassador to Singapore. Okay, here's a basic question. These are the fucking
people that are being nominated. This is Dr. Anjani Sinha. What does holding the ASEAN chairmanship
entail for Singapore? Can you name one thing? Okay, what she's talking about is ASEAN. That is like
the block of Asian countries that she's referring to is ASEAN. That is like the block of
Asian countries that she's referring to and that Singapore
will be the chair. So along with that being the head of the chair
of that block means X, Y, and Z. What does that mean,
specifically? Okay, this is his answer.
A role that they will have to play as ASEAN chair. What will
Well, there, you know that that there. This is a this ASEAN chair is not only one country, there are ten countries
involved.
No, the ASEAN Chair is one country, leading ten.
One country, but there are ten countries involved as an ASEAN group.
You're not answering my question.
You're not answering my question, sir.
Can you name one thing that will be of critical importance to Singapore as ASEAN Chair?
A role.
There are many things.
Can you name one thing?
Defense, economics.
Those are very broad.
Name an issue.
Creed.
I don't think, no.
Okay, let's- Creed.
She's just like, you know what, bro?
You're cooked, fam.
I don't even, I feel bad for your dumb ass right now.
I'm so sorry I even asked.
What do you know about Wu-Tang Clan?
Well, it's spelled with W, uh-huh.
And name a song.
Rap.
Rhymes. Okay.
You know what?
Nevermind, sir.
No, that's fine.
Trade.
This is what I fucking just said. Trade. Oh, that's mine trade
Trade oh
Okay, you went broad just describe so it is part there are countries involved right? Yeah, no
I'm asking you like you're so you're
Working as like a big major role. What would your role like what would the jobs be when the countries?
right trade
Jack the actual panic right you're you're acting right now is killing me
Defense
I'm sorry defense defense
All right
We transfer just got so this is the thing that's happened a couple of times actually. Yeah
You know a company like it happened to Adobe it happened to Dropbox
Where they update their terms of service?
with language
that would suggest
that they
Can use anything that you're like sending via we transfer and like it belongs to them
that they can use it however the fuck they want because that's what the terms of service say.
Right. Like content that is covered by you hereby grant us a perpetual worldwide non-exclusive
royalty-free transferable sub-licensable license to use your content
for the purpose of operating, developing, commercializing,
and improving the service we transfer,
or new technologies or services,
including to improve performing of machine learning,
models that enhance our content moderation process
in accordance with the privacy and cookie policy.
Such license includes the right to reproduce,
distribute, modify, prepare derivative works based upon
broadcast, communicate to the public,
publicly display and perform content.
That's all of the stuff that they can do with what,
what you're we transferring.
This is just a, is this like,
we own your shit.
The USPS being like anything that you send through the mail
is ours.
Like they don't do shit.
So anyways, people were like, this seems fucked up.
Like artists and people who use WeTransfer were like, guys, we might want to like get
to the bottom of this before you start using WeTransfer again.
And they were like,
okay, we're gonna update our terms.
And their explanation was that they had made the language
easier to understand to avoid confusion.
So that's just, and this is also what Adobe did.
It's also a drop-by.
It's almost like there's a playbook where you ask for
insane like rights to
Whatever the fuck right to do whatever you want with the intellectual property of the people who are using your product And then when they push back to be like, oh god you guys I feel so sorry for you. You're so confused
You didn't read it. Can you read?
You're so confused. You didn't read it?
Can you read?
Exactly.
Oh, I knew we had a literacy problem in this country.
I didn't think it was that bad.
I'm so sorry.
We've updated the clause on Tuesday
as we've seen this passage may have caused confusion
for our customers.
Okay, but now it says you give us a royalty-free license
to use your content for the Burz Operating,
Developing and Improving the Service.
Like, there's still be like, we're gonna use it.
So it's just, they basically ask for the same thing,
but like after insulting you being like,
we're you guys are confused and we feel sorry for you,
but we'll update the language just to make you happier.
I guess.
Oh, some of you guys are lawyers, right?
And now you're redlining it.
Okay, okay, okay, right, right. It's just I I
Just we can never forget
The Disney tried to get out of paying for the wrongful death of a person who was accidentally served food
They were allergic to at a restaurant
Yep, by being like you signed our terms of service when you signed up for
Disney Plus. So you can't sue us. Yeah. Thanks. XOXO. Yeah. Disney. XOXO Disney.
When you signed up for a trial of Disney Plus.
Trial of Disney Plus.
So if you think that like they aren't lying when they're like, guys, this is,
you're reading way too much into this thing that we're explicitly saying, but we're explicitly describing how we're going
to take all of your rights away.
They're absolutely going to point to the sign when you come with a lawsuit.
They go, uh, I don't know if you caught that part.
The one thing that like prevented that and would presumably prevent this is that it like gets
reported on and it's like really bad PR for the company and hopefully companies
continue to do that reporting. But I don't know.
It feels like we're not headed in a way in a direction of more corporate
accountability. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That's why you just got to get angry at the corporations folks.
