They were loving you, Zyke. They were loving you. Bring him back. One of the most popular first-time guests. Yeah. Back for number two. I am honored. Hey, we're thrilled to have you, man.

We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment, but first, we are going to tell our listeners what we're talking about today. Big news. Olive Garden has a lasagna dip. We're going to talk about that and talk about the Facebook vulnerability that was exploited and whether we're all fucked. about the Kavanaugh hearing and just continued fallout from that, this FBI investigation that may or may not be happening. We're recording this before the weekend, so if things have totally fallen apart, you know, that's our bet. But we're going to talk about just other things, impressions that have slowly dawned on us over the course of the past 48 hours. And we're going to talk about why I think we should be concerned about civil war at this point. Oh, wow.

And Elon Musk being sued by the SEC. And we'll also get into Bloidwatch. Bloidwatch. But first, Derek, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are as a human being? Ooh. I guess the last couple things that I've been searching was a bus route to my NAWA class. Okay. So I'm Mexican-American, but part of that means, like, you hit a certain point.

I think most Latinos or Latino-identified people, they hit a certain point where they're kind of like, I'm going to do some research about my family. And then you find out about all of the colonization. And there's this moment, you know, because, like, you watch Coco. Coco has indigenous little, like, tidbits in there. There are pyramids in it and the whole tradition of Dia de los Muertos.

And every Mexican festival or mart has Aztec dancers and there's always a warrior carrying a woman down a pyramid steps. You don't really give it too much thought. There are

a ton of woke Chicanos who come out of Chicano studies class and are just like, oh, my God. But that's basically what the process that I'm going through right now is kind of tracing my ancestors back, kind of learning, like, what is a national identity? What is this ethnic identity? Because when people think of – we always talk about Native people or indigenous people. It's always in terms of, like, America. Yeah,'s like no babies it's a whole hemisphere yeah like from you know from alaska all the way down to the tip of south america like oh hell yeah we're a entire bunch of

yeah who have just like experienced some really harsh stuff yeah yeah mexico is the site of some of the great cities at the time that the imperialists came. They were blown away by these cities that they were seeing that were naturally sculpted into the landscape. And there were cities there that were bigger than London at that time period. period but yeah people don't recognize that one of the great cultures in world history was in mexico like not too long ago and you can go see the ruins and all that shit but people are like no we should go to egypt right yeah well that's the one that you hear about more because we don't really want to talk about indigenas uh what wait so what is the nahuatl class? So there's a language class that Nahuatl is one of the many different indigenous languages of Mexico. Okay. It was one of the more predominant languages.

And it's still, there are still indigenous tribes who speak it today. Okay. And there are like a hundred different variants. So there's like classic Nahuatl, but it would kind of be like if you spoke Shakespeare today. So there's like classic Nahua, but it would kind of be like if you spoke Shakespeare today. There's versions from like Puebla, Mexico. And the version that I'm learning is specifically from Puebla. So I go once a week.

It's at the Plaza downtown near Olvera Street. So parking is a nightmare. Yeah. I'll get there on the bus. Yeah. So that's dope, though. You're really trying. I mean, I think language is something that gets lost Very easily with things like this

That's dope that you're trying to Get back in touch with that It's just reclaiming it It really is You guys have seen Selena Yes You know that moment in the movie Where Selena's dad

Edward James Olmos I had a brain fart that moment in the movie where uh selena's dad edward james almost edward james almost yeah i had a brain fart every every person is screaming at me right now abraham yes abraham uh and he's saying like you know it's like mexican being a mexican-american is hard it's like people don't understand it's like you have to be twice as mexican for the mexicans and twice as american for the americans it's like it's exhausting's exhausting. And there's something to that. There's a phrase that sometimes people use called ni de aquí, ni de allá. It's like, I'm not from here. I'm not from there.

I'm kind of in the middle. Yeah, yeah. And that is where I've felt for a lot of years because my name is Derek. People don't know what I am off the bat they're like what are what are you I'm like I'm I'm Mexican Derek wow that's interesting where are you from and I'm like Los Angeles like where's your mom from I'm like Los Angeles where's like your great great great grandparents from to the chase they're from Mexico and when I say that people are like ah i knew it

it's like well if we're gonna go back that far california was mexico right i'm right where i need to be so we didn't go anywhere right uh what is something you think is overrated oh my god modern protests i think modern protests are completely overrated i'm gonna thread a needle here okay so come january when the inauguration happened there were almost a million people on are completely overrated. I'm going to thread a needle here. Okay. So come January when the inauguration happened, there were almost a million people on the streets of Los Angeles. Like how in the world

do you piss off that many Angelenos? And then three months later, come April when the special election, only 10% of the city voted. Right. Right. Like, so we really need to, and the groups who are responsible for organizing these marches really need to do a better job of mobilizing people, not just on a Saturday or a Sunday where you file a permit.

And, you know, it's like basically an arts and crafts parade. Right. Where you really need to mobilize people community by community. Where, like, I honestly think we should have booths or like if you live on the west side come meet over here and come organize with some groups that are that are involved if you live on the you know if you live on the east side if you live in the valley if you live on you know uh uh in south around south gate like people need to be pissed off yes but they like that has to translate into some further action because i i think a lot of us take for granted um and this is kind of coming into the myth that I want to bust, people take for granted that the blue wave is coming. Right.

And it's like, well, how do you think that that stuff happens? It only happens with the hours and hours and hours of work that people have put into it. So if you're not contributing to that and you're just like, oh, well, it'll be fine. The Democrats will take over the Congress in no time. And it's like, no, baby gotta make that happen you gotta make some phone calls you gotta convince people in your own neighborhood you know to like get involved and we can debate we can blame left you know we can blame well it's the green party's fault or it's so and so's fault it's like no it's the candidates like yeah we have we've had traditionally bad candidates

and yeah the process we all know the process is corrupt but that's why people like andrew gillum and um you know alexandria that's why those people are so inspiring because it's like they see the problems in their own communities in their case so you know what i'm gonna do it myself yeah right and that's really what we need to do yeah that's the next phase of this whole thing because i think i mean we'll get into this as we talk about the Kavanaugh thing. But as we're saying, I've not seen so many people so enraged about what was going on with the Kavanaugh hearing. And a lot of that, too, is you want to be like, we also have to translate this energy into understanding the civic process and also being able to organize that energy into something that will actually affect change,

especially locally, because I think a lot of people take local politics for granted, especially because we're so addicted to the national thing. So yeah. I mean, there's tons of stuff here in the city that we can do. So for one, for example, I'm going to throw this out there. So if you live in Los Angeles, there's something called, and I want you to pressure your councilman, your local councilman, there's something called LA Safe. And what LA Safe is, is it would kind of double down on some of the efforts that the sanctuary city bill has so it further limits information sharing between law enforcement and ice so if we're really trying to protect you know migrant communities if we're really trying to protect undocumented families like that alone would protect over a million people in la right

and right now we're kind of we're kind of in talks with some people to like, who do we need to talk to to try and get this through? Right. So if you live in LA, that's one thing you can do. Right. Yeah. And I think there's so many other things, especially too, with like the homelessness problem here, the United Way, the work they're trying to do and everyone else, I forget what the other organization is, but yeah, there are so many things that are so easy to get involved in and will like really resonate like far beyond what you think you can do just by simply voting in a national election. Yeah. The Monday night mission, there's a bunch of homelessness committees

where they actively need volunteers. I mean, like I've been to these meetings and I've been to these groups and it's usually like a core group of a dozen or two dozen people and they meet up maybe once a week so you're not really giving up your entire life for this cause it's just hey let's try and do this thing this week all right what are our game plans where are our long-term plans and it's just going week by week by week and you're moving the block inch by inch by inch yeah getting involved in communities is and your community is i think important And I feel like it almost makes you look at the world around you in a different way

because it's like, yeah, I can actually do something. Yeah. It's empowering. Interact with people. And so for like, we're all, I think on some level, have some level of despair

of just like, oh God, like it's hopeless. Like, oh, nothing's going to change. And being in those spaces, I guarantee you, will refresh you. You can reclaim some power. Yeah. That's exactly what it is. It's reclaiming power in a direct, tangible way.

What is something you think is underrated? Anger. Okay. Yeah. So I want to thread this needle, too. I'm threading a lot of needles today. I'm making a quilt. Thready.

Thready Kruger over here. Thready Kruger. So in Network, you know, he has that big moment at the end where he's like encouraging people to, you know, to get. Oh, the movie Network. Yes, the movie Network. He's like, you know, and I'm sure everybody's heard the phrase just like, I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore. It's that level of anger. That is what we need.

So it's like incepting the revolution, I guess. It's we all have a concept, or at least most millennials, most young people, most progressive minded people. And there are more of us than there are of them. We have this concept of what we want our country to look like. We know that we want education. We know that we want a higher standard of living. We know that because of technology and because of guys like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, the job market is shrinking and technology is rapidly erasing giant sectors of the labor force. So what we're going to have to do is push for universal basic income.

We're going to have to push for single payer. We're going to have to push for subsidized college and put the onus back on rich people where it belongs. And that seed of anger, that pissed off-edness has to evolve. It is very, very useful. Rage and anger is very powerful,

but we have to harness it. Yeah. I think you're right that you can't let it turn into despair because despair is just self-defeating, whereas anger at least carries the possibility of action, acting on the anger. Yeah, exactly. And finally, what is a myth?

What's something people think is true you know to be false? Well, I don't know it to be false, but going back to the blue wave. Yeah, right. We can't take that for granted. Like, people take social change for granted. So when racism pops up and people are like, it's 2018. Come on, guys. And it's like, just because it's a year doesn't mean people change

or attitudes or institutions change. All of that work happens because behind the scenes, people are doing a bunch of work. And so with these midterms so, so, so close, I don't want folks to get comfortable thinking that like, oh, we got this in the bag because we should have already learned that lesson from the presidential election.

Like everybody thought it was going to go one way and it didn't. And it mobilized some people for a quick moment. But now we're starting to settle back in. And it's like, well, the Republicans are really showing their asses right now. They're really showing how terrible they are. We can beat them. No problem. It's like, no, don't take that for granted you need to do some work yeah yeah well because it's funny because

like the blue wave was sort of fed by this underdog feeling of like wow well they're in power they have a majority and there's something we can do and i think with the blue wave talk that has definitely helped mobilize some republicans because now they're reading a lot about holy shit like we're getting killed in like these special elections and all these other things that there's also energy for them as well to mobilize and to be enthusiastic. Luckily, I mean, there's more enthusiasm on the left. But yeah, like you said, not a single fucking person who listens to this show and you live in America, if you're not registered to vote, just please do the minimum.

Yeah, please. And at the very least, just vote. If you're not comfortable yet getting your hands dirty and working in community, that's one thing, whatever. Eventually, you will have to because that's the only way we're going to really make something better of this country. Yeah. But I think, yeah, we can't overstate enough how important it is to get, and if you think

you live in a place where it's locked, then use your time to canvas in a district that is possible to flip or phone bank. You can do it from your house. And you can fucking help Beto O'Rourke if you want to. Do whatever you have to, but at the very least, don't do nothing. Right. Yeah, I will say this. So a lot of because of the way American capitalism is situated, it puts a lot of pressure on certain people.

Like, well, I don't have the money to do it. I don't have the time Like, well, I don't have the money to do it. I don't have the time to do it. I don't have the resources to do it. And that is by design. If people are desperate, they are less likely to get involved because they're focused on their own survival. Right. And that's what we all do.

So, and that is why numbers are so important. And if you have a special skill, like, use that shit. Like, if you're good at spreadsheets, that is a phone bank waiting to happen right if you're a charismatic person and you can give speeches great wonderful if you're a tweeter if you're a graphic designer we need art spaces need art like images are really really powerful and you see that particularly with nazis and fascists like they're co-opting certain things and they're using it very subtly to try to indoctrinate people by using images and media. And that is like, you rarely see them out and about, but that is like a very entry level way to do some real activism. Yeah. I think you said earlier that there's more

of us than there are of them, but i think they know that and they act as like an insurgency they cheat they use all the different ways advantages loopholes that they can get their hands on when i'm talking about conservatives i'm talking about right wing i'm talking about like fascists they are very motivated you can't just sit back and assume that because progressive ideals are right, that they're going to win out. The fact that we live in a moderately progressive world right now is based on a million little victories for progressive ideals that people take for granted every day that we don't really think about. Yeah.

There is a contingent in this country that you have had to drag them, physically drag them to accept. Think how far we've come with LGBT rights. Right. Think how far we've come in terms of allowing women into the workplace, allowing women into positions of power, especially. of allowing women into the workplace, allowing women into positions of power, especially like all of this,

we've radically managed to change a lot within the last hundred years. And they're actively trying to pull that back. So it's like, you have to eat at least match that intensity. No, I totally agree. All right. Well,

real quick guys, we have to talk about lasagna dip. Oh my God. This is the only way I'm going to get through this year. Miles talked about this today, and I thought he said lasagna dick. Yeah. No, no. It's a whole new slang for ED.

Got the old lasagna dick. Yeah. It's so weird, man, because the last week was very exhausting. Yes. And, yeah, even as I wrote, I went, well, Olive Garden has lasagna dip. Now we can talk about that shit. I mean, like, there's so many other things to talk about. But, yes.

I don't think I've ever heard as many as I did this morning in our office. Yeah, there's a lot of groans. Everybody was, like, greeting each other. But, yeah, so, you know, Olive Garden has somehow, they've always found a way to rebrand, survive, whether it's, like like MoviePass for pasta or whatever. They had the pizza bowl, loaded pasta chips. They had pasta and nachos, which were wild. So now they've got the lasagna dip.

So they take all the fucking good parts of lasagna and make that into a dip. And really, it just sounds like some lazy ass lasagna because it's just meat sauce. Here's a bowl of bolognese. Yeah, meat sauce and cheese and with some smoked mozzarella and we basically flattened out pasta to be a chip and there you go. I'm still gonna fuck with it. I have every

garbage food I have to try. I mean, it's like hours went into creating this. I'm gonna respect the inventors of this artery clogging masterpiece. God bless you all. I feel like all of those inventions come from terribly depressed people. Yeah.

Like all the experimental food. It's like the Doritos, Locos Tacos. I'm just imagining somebody who in the depths of a terrible depression, it's like, well, I know I need to eat something. The only thing in my fridge is some ground beef, and the only thing left in my cabinet is this bag of doritos fuck it i'm gonna make it work even worse they had some old hard shell

taco bell tacos in their fridge from like a few days ago and they're like well this shell is fucked right i need a new shell i got these doritos and then you're just eating old cold i mean yeah i could just see that i could just see that with the lasagna bowl. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And again, I think when I'm doing my self-care, I tend to eat the most insane combinations of foods, too. So I can see how you just be like, you know, I just want to eat a bowl of meat sauce with cheese. Just the best parts. Shout out to the middle of the country because I feel like a lot of these sorts of recipes, like Frito casserole and shit like that come out of like, you know, Ohio and places like Yo, have you had queso dip but with breakfast sausage in it? Crumbled breakfast sausage in it?

Oh, God, yeah. Woo! Shout out to the homie Luis from Texas who showed me that shit. What the f- I was like, yo, what's in- Texas is serious about their queso. I know, and I was like, yo, what's in there? He's like, crumbled up breakfast sausage.

I'm like, you genius. And I've been, yo, what's in there? He's like, crumbled up breakfast sausage. I'm like, you genius. And I've been, yeah, I love that. The thing about this lasagna dip that I'm a little bit skeptical of is the pasta chips. Yeah, what is that? Why not just say, hey, you know how we have amazing breadsticks? We'll just give you those. Dip that shit in there. Yeah, exactly.

Like a crostini, you know what I mean? Right. You can rock with that. I don't need hard pieces of pasta. That's like pasta before you make it. It's just some... Just throw a box of uncooked pasta on the... There you go, you filthy fucking animals.

Eat that. Yeah, here's a hammer to break up the sheet of pasta, like lasagna pasta. Right. Hey, boy. So why does Olive Garden hate us? I know. Can you imagine if you ate that uncooked pasta, everyone's gums would just cut up? The second you bite it, it just turns into a fucking gluten knife.

But they know you can't stop. Yeah. They're just like, yeah, well, the dip's so good. The dip's so good. All right. We're going to take a break and come back and talk about stuff that's not lasagna dip, unfortunately. Do you ever wonder where your favorite foods come from? Like what's the history behind bacon-wrapped hot dogs?

Hi, I'm Eva Longoria. Hi, I'm Maite Gomez-Rejon. Our podcast, Hungry for History, is back. Season two. Season two. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? And this season we're taking in a bigger bite out of the most delicious food and its history.

Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these... We thank Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.? I didn't realize how old the hot dog was.

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts. And we're back, and there's a Facebook vulnerability that was exploited. Facebook once again came to us and was like, this is a really big deal. We really messed up, guys. We're really glad we caught it, but I'm not

kidding when I say i apologize for this and i don't know 50 million users were compromised i honestly don't know what the fuck this means anymore because i don't use facebook does this mean anything for me like i haven't used facebook in like five years well the whole thing you're saying that like the flaw that these hackers could exploit was like the view as feature where you could like look at your own profile like as if it were someone who wasn't your friend or like a like from the general public okay got it but then in that they were able to like gain access to the person's account because like they use like the access tokens because you know sometimes you could quit your browser and then you open it back up and you just go to facebook and you're still

logged in because it uses these tokens or whatever so then by there they could then gain access into your account so i think maybe i don't know i mean personally like you said i don't fuck with facebook really that much or have post information on there that i'm too concerned about but like if you bought a political ad and things like that they need a lot of information when you buy ads and things like that so i don't know if you know like when you have 50 million people from that universe that someone has information. So at the very least, I mean, you'd think someone may have been able to see that information. Right, right. And I guess Facebook has access to everything I'm doing online as long as I'm logged into

Facebook. Well, everything does. Like privacy is dead. Privacy is gone. Right. Yeah, yeah. All right. So we'll keep an eye on that. Also, at the time that we're recording this, we don't know if the hacker went through with it yet.

But a hacker is threatening to, over the weekend, delete Mark Zuckerberg's account on a live stream. Oh, no. His Facebook account. Dude, live streams I could give a fuck less about. Yeah. So that sounds boring, actually. I think it's supposed to be like the first episode of Black Mirror. It's like, man, watch what I do to this person of power.

What happens when the master's profile is deleted? Right. Anyways, let's talk. Nobody gives a shit. Nothing. Facebook goes on and deletes that shit. And also, my man, if you're the hacker, pick something better if you want to stunt. There are tons of Republicans.

So many Republicans. Take their information. So speaking of Republicans, we're in the days after the Kavanaugh hearing. It looks, at the time that we're recording this, it looks like they're going to be delaying the vote on the Senate floor for a week while the FBI investigates. So that's at least encouraging. But I don't know. The further I get from the actual hearing, the day of the hearing, the angrier I get, the more kind of stark the contrast between the two sides seems, the more blatantly wrong Kavanaugh and his just general demeanor and behavior seems.

Yeah, I mean, the thing for me, as you look back and you read more and you sort of watch videos and things like that, like the white supremacist patriarchy was on full display in that hearing you had man like you had equal combatants basically going into this right where you had dr ford and brett kavanaugh they're both white they're from the same socioeconomic background education level they're professionals but when push came to shove all brett kavanaugh had to do was scream yeah i'm a good guy right this is bullshit right and suddenly that's enough for all of this or the senate republicans on the judiciary committee to be like yeah i'm so sorry about this man like uh

you're right and that's where he was able to claim uh that his innocence just by virtue of clearly that in this case you put a man and a woman against each other, he's going to win. And the disingenuous sort of talk of a lot of these people being like, you know, I believe that Dr. Ford was assaulted. Right. You know? And for a Republican to say that, if you believe her and she says she's 100% certain it was Brett Kavanaugh, the only logic that you're applying is that, well, Brett says he didn't do it. And some other people said they don't remember. So that completely negates it rather than going after.

If you really believe her, then you should be trying to pick apart. What about her recollection doesn't connect Brett Kavanaugh rather than just Brett Kavanaugh saying I wasn't there. But yet you still believe this woman. Well, and that's the whole thing is that Republicans are completely disingenuous with everything because it's always been like, think about the power structures of United States. A lot of the atrocities that were put on black people, a lot of the atrocities that were put on indigenous people or even LGBT people now like a white women have been the shield it's like we need to protect the sanctity of white women right and you know so they they lynched black

men or we need to protect the sanctity of of of white women so they they they blocked uh you know immigrants from coming to this country but if you're from this continent you're not a fucking immigrant right um the facade is just gone. Right. Like, it's gone. Although they kept it up during the Kavanaugh hearing. They were acting like they were outraged on behalf of Dr. Ford. They were like, you should have told her back when she first reported this to you.

You've ruined her life. Right. And it's like, no, don't miss me with that sanctimonious bullshit. Right. Yeah, that's what it's like, no, don't mess with that sanctimonious bullshit. Right. Yeah, that's what it's always been. And even when you go down to it, like, Brett Kavanaugh is acting like this was his fucking God-given right to become a Supreme Court justice, that he was entitled to this position. And I can't—who can blame him? He's existing in a system where all signs point to the idea that if you are white and a man you can do whatever and get whatever with extreme ease so uh you know you look at even how he was interacting

right if he was like being he was screaming he was being combative and disrespectful to senators who are trying to vet him to see if he should be in a supreme court justice and job interview yeah right and if you but for him being a man and white, if you scream, you're being brave, and he's fighting back are the words they use. If it were a woman, we were talking about this yesterday, it would have been seen as hysterical or overly emotional. If this had been a man or a woman of color, you would have been uppity or an angry black man or woman.

And the hypocrisy of it all was just really making me sick over time as it really sits in and you're like then we cut to friday morning where they're about to vote and you start seeing how that may apparently this wasn't clear to anybody uh like on the republican side of how this actually looked to everyone on the outside yeah and and part of me always thought maybe these people are willfully ignorant they know better but they still do it and part of me thought thought maybe these people are willfully ignorant. They know better, but they still do it. And part of me thought maybe this really is a difference in realities and competing realities that we are operating in. Because if they really have this sort of sympathy, empathy that they claim they do, they wouldn't be high-fiving and laughing after that hearing. Yeah, of course.

But clearly, I think to them, they're like, this is fine. In the world, the reality we operate in, this is not an issue. Yeah. Well, it's power by any means. It's House of Cards minus the scripted elements and Kevin Spacey. It's consistent with their behavior down the line. We need to think of the children. We need to respect the children.

And then why are you trying to take away their health care? Yeah. You know, why are you trying to defund school lunch programs? It's completely inconsistent. This cynicism where it's cruel and it's mean and it really kind of – power by any means necessary. And we're just going to – we have this plan for corporatization. We don't really want to govern. We don't care about governing. I just want to give this dude a kickback.

Because he keeps me in office. Yeah, and we're going to slowly dismantle piece by piece by piece different agencies of the federal government by hiring people who are completely inept. When they do a terrible job, point to that agency and be like, see, government doesn't work. Yeah, I mean, I hadn't realized how close Kavanaugh's statement was to Clarence Thomas' statement after the Anita Hill thing, but there were entire sentences lifted. And Clarence Thomas came out and was very outraged.

And he at least had the underlying idea that there were racial politics at play, and there were people targeting him for, he being an uppity black man and so he at least had that idea whereas cavanaugh i think it was just entitlement i think it was just like i deserve this you're right like it wasn't clear what he was outraged about because these were completely legitimate seeming accusations the whole whole infrastructure of their argument was based on this idea that Democrats had held back her complaint and that just wasn't true and had been established up front. last night as I was just kind of thinking over his testimony, it felt like very dumb end of usual suspects, like a dumb version of that, because it was like stuff that they had questioned him about, like the devil's triangle. If you look up what that is, he was like, it's a drinking game.

Everyone knows what that is. It's actually a threesome with two men and one woman, which is exactly what he's being accused of trying to force into happening. And boofed apparently means had anal sex. And Mark Judge had on his page, Bart, have you boofed yet? And he had on his page, Judge, have you boofed yet? And Mark Judge calling him Bart is what he eventually called him in his memoir, where he was like, Bart O'Kavanaugh is a real party animal. Are we surprised that a frat dude named Brett sexually assaulted some people? No, not at all.

No. But it's just so transparent and you know he kept characterizing it as like all the other witnesses said this didn't happen yeah and that was that was a lie like he's not what they said they said they do not recall right that's very fundamentally different yeah um so you remember the alamo i don't remember the alamo right right i think it happened. It probably happened. I don't recall. I was not there. But you know what I mean? Like it's, that's what was just really, you'd think anyone of any person of reason who was on that Senate committee would be like, but again, like you say, Derek, the end game is not about what is right. It's just about, you know, this monopoly of power and concentrating at the very top. And again, you got your by any means on. And now like, but that's why you see the anger.

And that's the one thing, man, that not since the election has like every form of like blog writings or Twitter feed been about a singular topic, you know, and before it was always a mix. The election, I remember, it was all this, everything to follow up the election. And with the Kavanaugh hearing, that was the focus.

And I think that speaks to sort of how pervasive this rape culture is. It knows no gender, class, race, or anything like that. It touches everybody. And clearly, the Republicans, they've lit a fuse with their actions. And I don't know where that fuse goes, but they've fucking, they've lit a fuse with their actions and I don't know where that fuse goes, but they've fucking,

they've said something. We're in the credit sequence for a Mission Impossible movie. Like that fuse got lit. We don't know where it's going, but like. But yeah, it's something happened

because man, you can tell the amount of anger and anxiety and sadness, just it's, we're headed towards something. Yeah, and shout out to all the activists who are like putting their bodies

on the line right now. There are tons of women who got arrested. Yeah. And shout out to all the activists who are putting their bodies on the line right now. There are tons of women who got arrested. Yeah. There were tons of disabled people during – or differently abled people when they were trying to take their healthcare away. Right. They're putting their bodies on the line. And I'm seeing a lot of hope in that because how we are interacting with our congress people is changing yeah like chasing ted cruz out of out of having dinner i could not have been happier yeah like

that you know confronting jeff flake in the elevator and like you know that woman telling him like look at me how dare you you know and tell me that what happened to me doesn't matter doesn't matter and i think that probably had an effect on him based on the subsequent events, because that was right after him saying, I will probably, you know, vote to get Kavanaugh out of committee. And then when it came down to the committee vote, Jeff Flake, there was a lot of drama going on, a lot of people scurrying around the hearing room, not knowing what was going on. And ultimately he came in and he stood up and said uh look i think there needs to be an fbi investigation i think we need to delay this floor vote until the fbi can do it because he felt that he wasn't comfortable with democrats thinking that this process was complete a complete sham which it is and was and in the beginning i thought maybe he'll just do the right thing out the gate

but clearly he's here for the drama and really put his foot down and said, if it comes to it, there's no FBI investigation. I'll be a no vote on the. Yeah, you need to you need to pressure your senators. You need to pressure them. That would be the responsible thing to do. But they're not trying to do the responsible thing. Like even when I think it was Senator Kennedy was just like, you know, would you be open? Would you be willing to let the FBI do an investigation? And at the time, Brett was just like, well, I wanted this trial days ago. And it's like, yeah, OK, but would you be open to letting the FBI do an investigation?

And it's kind of that's what guilty people do is they focus in on the one thing that was like, well, I tried to do this and I tried to do it. You're not hearing me. You're not hearing me. It was a sputtering, just so unconvincing display by him. And also just like a blatantly partisan display where he started buying into conspiracy theories about like the Clintons. Oh, my God. Like, yeah, it was a very split-mind thing where he was like,

I believe that something happened to her. At the same time, I'm claiming that a conspiracy theory is the reason for all this stuff. Yeah. So it does look like there's going to be an FBI investigation. It looks like Mitch McConnell

has a read to that. And it also looks like they're going to get mark judge to testify yeah that's i mean i i can't imagine there's any world where what he says is going to help brett kavanaugh especially when you look at the background but again he could just say i literally blacked out in the 80s right and i don't remember a thing what was also interesting i remember the day before the testimony that brett kavanaugh and dr for. Ford gave last Thursday, a lawyer for one of Mark Judge's college girlfriends said she was willing to talk to the FBI because he had confessed to her that in high school, him and like other boys, quote, took turns having sex with a drunk woman. And I don't, you know.

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.

We're so excited for you to hear our brand new podcast, Señora Sex Ed. Listen to Señora Sex Ed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. your podcast. And we're back. And just one more point specifically on the Kavanaugh hearing and, you know, where we're at as of this recording, there are a bunch of different institutions that

were used to sort of prop him up. Like Lindsey Graham yesterday was saying, you know, we have these institutions that recognize greatness, recognize a great person. For instance, quote, here's my understanding, if you lived a good life, people would recognize it. Like the American Bar Association has the gold standard. And so he was citing the American Bar Association as a way of, and what they think matters when it comes to Brett Kavanaugh. And they came out and said, you guys need to delay the vote until there's a thorough FBI investigation. Suddenly, Fox News was calling them the liberal American Bar Association. Right. Yeah, as we all know.

Right. Association. Yeah, as we all know. Right. And now the dean of the Yale Law School is saying that they need to delay the vote until there's an investigation. And America Magazine, which is a Jesuit publication, which initially endorsed him, is now just calling for him to outright remove himself from consideration. They said they, quote, believed his candidacy had ultimately become unsustainable. Yes. So there you go. But something you guys were talking about, about lighting a fuse and not knowing where it led, I do think we need to return to the subject of some sort of civil war.

Yes. We talked about it after Charlottesville last year and you know the New Yorker published an article where they interviewed different people who have fought in or worked on civil wars like around the world or like you know been security people or military personnel in various civil wars around the world and they were all like yeah I think America is definitely in a position where something like that could happen. And they all pointed to the fact that it really seems like

there are two completely different sides that have two unresolvable versions of reality. And it's like, what do we think is going to happen do we think that one side is going to win an election and just that's it no and just convince the other side no i've been saying this for years yeah like and so it sucks because i've been saying it but also like fascists have been accusing us. They're preparing for civil war. And it's like, you guys have the guns and militias. It's like, we're just trying to get rights for trans people.

That is not the same. But I strongly, and I still strongly believe that, I mean, it may not be a full nation, full blown out civil war. full nation, full blown out civil war. But like, I do believe that we're going to see insurrections from these like paramilitary groups, from these fascist groups who are going to try and do the thing that the Bundy family did. They're going to lace claim to some property, some federal property or some government property, or try and kill a bunch of Brown people like they have in Tulsa, Oklahoma or in Philadelphia. It has happened before and it is likely to happen again. And what we need to do is be cautious but also be prepared. I know a lot of leftists who have been like screaming at the top of my lungs.

This is the moment that I've been warning you about. And they're coming off as crazy. But it's like it is. It's credible. Well, the fear and the hatred is real. And we just need to be aware of it. And I think people on the left and, you know, especially moderate people on the left are the always the quickest to call the idea of a civil war out as insane and alarmist. And first of all, that is not happening on the right.

The right is just like, yeah, of course I belong to a militia and have 40 guns in my garage. But I think it's important for people, the academics and the media and the people who are on the left to realize that if there was an armed conflict tomorrow, all the important institutions of violence are on the right. The president and therefore the army, law enforcement is going to be on the right. And I don't know, it just seems kind of short-sighted to just think that well it can't happen here uh it seems impossible now to me still but i like i don't know how the violence will start but a lot of the things that seemed impossible a couple years ago are now everyday occurrences and it does seem like something could easily happen whether it's a terror attack or what well to your point the it's not like when

the violence is gonna start because it kind of it was a rolling boil when the country was founded right um but it's been turned down for the last couple of decades to like a gentle simmer right so every once in a while you know a white supremacist will murder some people and we're all like oh my god this is terrible this is awful and we have conversations about racism and then things calm back down again and then more people die and then we're like oh my god this is terrible this is awful and we never take the steps to really analyze like what kind of organization do they have what like how are they sending people out just to kind of test the waters like what is actually happening here that that is not going on right yeah i feel like we just with every incident right the trust breaks down in the rule of law or our faith and the

leadership in this country especially when you have moments like this especially when you have police shootings that basically seem state sanctioned to a certain level. And it's only going to get worse unless we're really trying to address these problems. And yeah, like with each event, it's defeating and it adds more fuel to the flame in either side. And a lot of thing, too, with like a lot of the militias before they were always, especially with Obama, they had a boogeyman to be like, well, this guy might try and do something.

So that's what they were trying to like sort of knuckle up for or whatever. And now with Trump in office, they've kind of like sort of lost their North Star because they're like, oh, shit, this guy's in power. So I guess the next thing to do is start fantasizing about a civil war. Yeah, right. Because that's another thing, too, that a lot of people who monitor those things are saying like, oh, this is a theme that is occurring more with these sort of armed paramilitary militia groups or whatever. Right. Yeah. It's again, like you said, we're finding ourselves with leaders who are not adequately addressing these problems and only exacerbating them.

Well, and it's also too, it's exposing a lot of the weaknesses in our government. So a lot of how we traditionally handle scandal in government is with shame. And so the fact that they've – that conservatives tend to like lean into it and just I have none has really prevented us from effectively like replacing them or – because it's really hard to get out incumbents. And they traditionally have resigned. They're like, well, I got exposed, so see you later. I'll go take a nice cushy job as a consultant somewhere. But even our institutions, like you were saying, the state-sanctioned murder, that is 100% true.

Because if cops are murdering people at an alarming rate and nobody's even bringing them to trial, what that does is de facto send the message of, well, it's fine for them to do it. Right. And it really – when you kind of break it down into, well, who is it – we know that the cops target black and brown people. We know that statistically we have a higher rate of police interaction. We know that because of these interactions, they're more likely to be deadly. Right.

So it is a form of genocide. Yeah. And I think there is a general pattern just in the history of the conservative movement in America of the thing that they scream about at the top of their lungs, the thing that they're accusing other people of is the thing that they're up to, that they're guilty of. During the Kavanaugh hearing, they were screaming at the top of their lungs

about the Democrats being politically motivated and not removed from humanity. And meanwhile, the thing that was happening, the overwhelming impression was a very humane person testifying about a very human piece of suffering that happened to her. And then a huge political sideshow that they were orchestrating. And like you said, the other thing that they love to talk about is, well, there's going to be an armed war and they're going to like come for us and the government's going to come for us. And yeah, they've radicalized.

They've radicalized conservatives through fear. Yeah. And then but and then use that fear to say, like, well, here's why you need to here's why you need to be violent. Here's why you need to do this. Here's why you need to do that. Here's why you need to do that. Like, it's really, really powerful. Because the first step is just right now is just calling the cops on black people for nothing.

Right. What's, what's that escalate to? Yeah. You know, what's that? If I'm scared enough to use my phone, what other people are you going to use that same sort of mode of thinking to, you know, rationalize some kind of other, you know, like just killing somebody or attacking somebody? I was reading a guy who's like an expert on European culture in early 20th century European

history and just talking about how he thought that America was headed down this path of like either a government that just seizes power like Nazi Germany orany or you know a civil war when the affordable care act was passed in 2010 and not a single republican senator had voted for it he was like oh no we're too divided like already at that point and like people who pay attention to this stuff are sitting here saying this is worse than you guys think like this this, an actual conflict is more possible. Yeah, it absolutely is. And I hate, I honestly, I fucking hate people who are like, we're so divided right now.

And it's like a conversation is not gonna fix this because you have Republicans and some Democrats who are getting paid to be hyperbolic. They're getting subsidies from lobbyists to take these radical positions because what it does for – they get to sell products. Like that's all it is, is they make people afraid so that they can sell them guns or sell them underground bunkers, which is like a real thing. They take train cars, hollow them out,

bury them underground, and put like an air filtration system in it. They're radicalizing people just so they can sell them shit, and they don't care who dies in the process. Yeah. Well, yeah, because I think the worst fear is the people who are the benefactors

that are like, just don't have them realize what the power we have and the actual, that we're at the levers at a lot of these people's disenfranchisement. Yeah, and I mean, the scary thing that I keep thinking about is, even though it seems crazy to think of Trump seizing power and banning the free press, we haven't had an election that hasn't gone his way yet. Like what do we think is going to happen if he gets voted out of office?

He was already threatening to invalidate the results of the election if he lost to Hillary Clinton. And that was when he wasn't the president. So like how is he going to respond to actually losing? All right. We have to get to just the lamest story of the week, just the lamest piece of behavior. A little palate cleanser. Elon Musk has been sued by the SEC, and it seems as though Azealia Banks, the rapper, is a key witness.

Well, yeah. Yeah. Her little falling out with Grimes basically created a lot of evidence for this case, mostly because one day his dumb ass tweeted, like, thinking about taking Tesla private at $420 a share. I already got funding secured. And that shit moved the market. Yeah.

Right. And then, but you come to find out, there was no funding secured. And also, the shares were actually more around the $419 mark, but he only changed it to $420 because he's a washed old 47 year old arrest, just stunted dude. Yeah. Who's trying acid for the first time. Trying to impress his younger girlfriend. And one of the texts from Grimes to Azalea Banks was he just got into weed because of me and he's super entertained by $420. So when he decided to take the stock private, he calculated was worth 419 so he rounded up to 420 for a laugh and now the sec is investigating lol that's so funny like what the i don't know what's going on with him but

clearly at the beginning i thought it was a joke but now to know that he was really actually like yeah i thought 420 would be funny to her. Yeah. Like, okay. All right. What's up, fellow kids? Right. I'm here. Exactly. Like, 420, right? Oh, man.

And yeah. Well, I mean, that's what happens when you date children. Yeah. Right. Yeah, yeah. Just, yeah, date your fucking age. Especially not somebody who's going to, like, not challenge you because they think, oh, you're a 47-year-old with the mentality of a 25-year-old. Great. We get along.

Rather than like, wait, hold up. You're 47 and you're acting like 18 or whatever yeah well as we talked about before he has a difficult time in seeing other human beings as equals because uh in his marriage to someone his age that fell apart her testimony was that he would consistently and frequently tell her if she was an employee, he would fire her. That was one of the things he said to his wife. Great relationship advice.

All right, real quick. Bloid watch. Bloid watch. What do we got going on in the world of tabloids? I mean, with this week, who really cares? No, really though, no, we gotta talk about this, right? In Touch Magazine says, Kim divorcing

Kanye with baby number four on the way. Heartbreak with surrogate son due in three months. Inside his ultimate betrayal, Kanye moves back to Chicago. Basically what they're saying, I mean, who knows what the fuck's going on, but obviously him going on Instagram a couple weeks ago, ago like with that

long rant to like nick cannon and like tyrese and be like stop talking about my wife was thoroughly embarrassing and you add on top of that and his uh really cool maga hat and kaepernick uh sweatshirt combo that she's just basically been slowly pushed away and now that he he like publicly said i'm moving back to chicago felt like a total betrayal. I don't know what the fuck. I don't care because I don't think this is a real relationship anyway. But yeah, okay, sure. I mean, I'll believe it when I see the divorce papers,

but that's a lot of money, I think, that they would be splitting. Why don't you think it's a real relationship? What are you talking about? Think these two people are in fucking love? No way. Yeah, bro. This is just shrewd marketing from the Kardashian side.

Calculated. It's like, we will align House West and House Kardashian to become the super hip-hop urban brand for people. And that's all that did. I mean, that brought a whole other market into the Kardashian world. And it brought Kanye a whole other market because there's the softening of being aligned with the Kardashians. I mean, it was a win-win for them optically. But in the end, I think it's a sham because I think they both have

skeletons in their closets. Well, the Globe has the elderly market cornered because they have the headline Brave Betty White, 96, 118 pounds, dying. First of all, 118 pounds seems perfectly reasonable for a weight. They have a picture of her. She just looks like a 96-year-old person, very old. Body shame in an old woman? Right.

Come on now. And then they also have Ted Danson's secret divorce papers. Ted Danson, by the way, 70 years old. Holy shit. Looking good. Looks great. Ted Danson. So that's

written over a picture of he and his wife and... Mary Steenburgen? Yeah, Mary Steenburgen. And the caption says, Cheating, lies, and $30 million payoff. Turned to the inside, however, and it's about his first marriage falling apart and the divorce that

happened in the 80s when he cheated on his first wife with Whoopi Goldberg. Hey! Hey! Whoopi Goldberg. Whoopi! Wasn't they?

Didn't they do? Made in America. Yeah. With fucking Will Smith, I remember was in that movie, right? Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I think it was Neil Long, right? And like Ted Danson was the dad.

Yes. Zora Matthews, whose mother, Sarah Whoopi Goldberg, conceived her with the aid of an anonymous sperm donor, discovers her father is a white man named Hal Jackson, Ted Danson. Yes. Zora Matthews, whose mother, Sarah Whoopi Goldberg, conceived her with the aid of an anonymous sperm donor, discovers her father is a white man named Hal Jackson, Ted Danson. Yes, that's right. Oh, right, right, right. I remember going to that movie so excited because I was such a big Will Smith fan. And what is Seventeen Magazine? We're expanding, you know what I mean?

We're expanding Elon Musk this shit. Right, cool, because I think the more we see- Hello, fellow teens. The more we see these other ones, we're like, yo, Ted Danson and Betty White are like fucking Carrie Underwood. But what's the children's about? 17 Magazine, you know, because I'm curious to know

what are the advice things or what are they trying to tell the youngins about? And it's actually a lot of information I think us adults could use where they say, bestie boost. There's a science-backed reason to hang out with your friends all day long. this and study measuring life satisfaction people who choose to do something social like spending time with friends or helping others felt a bigger well-being bump than those who tried to boost their mood with non-social strategies like yeah very similar to

advice that i was given on a amazing podcast called The Daily Zeitgeist. Yeah, put your fucking phone down. Call the homies. Because, yeah, truly your balance of happiness has to do with your familial social relationships, your health, your financial situation, and when any of those things is off, things can be off. And I feel like because we're... I don't know.

When I read that, I was like, damn, that's true, because sometimes I'll have opportunities to hang out, and other times I'll be like, man, maybe I just need to chill, take it easy for a second. But there is something so reinvigorating about being with your friends. And they're also giving advice on safe sexting, which makes sense because we're old and washed, and we didn't have phones back then. We just had pagers, and all we used to do was text 143. I wonder how old the people who write Seventeen Magazine are. Like, do you think they have?

They're 30. Yeah. Yeah, or younger. Safe sexting seems like one of those things that is, like, only appealing to people who grew up in the 90s and knew, like, what a craze safe sex was back then. Right, right, right, right. They're like, safe sexting? That's a cool thing. Or it's just the editor in chief.

That was definitely the editor. He's like,. And they were like, safe sexting, that's a cool... Or it's just the editor in chief was like, why don't we call this safe sexting? And everyone was like, oh, great idea, good idea. What the fuck does that mean? We were going to call this section Send Nudes, but I didn't quite get what that was.

Right. And then, yeah, but then also in J-14, the number one teen celeb mag, they have all kinds of interesting profiles on people I've never heard of and makes me feel old as shit. Like, who the fuck is Caden Conreek? Conreek?

For real? Don't know, but he's white. The new season of Chicken Girls on YouTube? What the fuck? Where am I? Yes. And who am I? Chicken Girls?

Chicken Girls on YouTube. You could have just, not only could you have made up that name and the name of the show, but you could have made up the name of that fucking magazine. J14 is completely new to me. Derek, it has been wonderful having you, man. Thank you. Where can people find you, follow you? All the stuff. All the

social media stuff. Just at my name, Derek Lemos, two R's I-C-K, Lemos with an M, kind of like lemons, but no N. There you go. When life gives you Lemos. Make what? Lemosade?

I probably don't taste very good. Don't do that. Is there a tweet that you've been enjoying? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. It kind of ties back into the Kavanaugh thing. So she's a sociologist who studies adolescent sexual violence. So in this thread, she kind of documents how the assault allegations make sense, in particular to Kavanaugh and his testimony. So her handle is at N. Badera, and she has citations and everything.

citations and everything and it's such a fascinating and kind of horrifying uh read and analysis into male entitlement and behavior especially when they're in groups uh and trying to like fit in and impress people it's scary and dark but it is it's necessary yeah devil's triangle man let's check it out it's a drinking game with three shots. Have you ever played quarters? Yeah, that's called quarters, motherfucker. And see, if there was a younger senator, they'd be like, yo, get the fuck out of here, bro. You think I'm dumb? Yeah, that's why young people need to run for office.

Because everybody in office right now is 70, 80 years old. And I don't mean to be ageist, but if there was a 30-year-old in there or a 40-year-old in there, that's exactly. Just make this face like, come on. Come on, bro. Come on, Brett. Don't lie to me. Come on, Brett. And maybe boofing is different because boofing in 2018 is about just drinking, butt chugging, doing drugs in your butt.

Yeah. But I guess it's different back then. So maybe there was a generational difference on that one. But yeah, again, you can't have people like Orrin Hatch and Chuck Grassley or even Pat Leahy up there who are just like, there's a time. Like, what? There's a time? We're still here?

Yeah. Miles, where can people find you? Find me on Instagram and Twitter at milesofgray, G-R-A-Y. Also, go to tpublic.com slash the Daily Zeitgeist. New shirts. We got new merch. Yeah, new shit. In the fucking building, you know what I mean?

And you know what? We might just put that little new shirt on sale to help you cop because it helps us. It helps us keep the lights on. It helps us keep the takes hot and fresh. Two tweets I like.

One is a visual one, so I'm sorry to everybody because I'm just going to have to describe this. It's a picture of Troy Aikman. It's from at Trey Zingas. It says, reminder that Troy Aikman looks like's from at Trey Zingas. It says, Reminder that Troy Aikman looks like white Jay-Z.

Holy shit! He really does. It's amazing. Wow. It's Jay-Z doing a Teddy Perkins type thing. I don't know what is going on. And also, another one I gotta go back to Reductress, my favorite one for all my people with textured hair.

Got the curly hair. This one is amazing. It has a woman of color just sort of looking at the camera like, is she for real? And it says, just wear it curly, says dumbass straight-haired friend. A couple tweets I've been enjoying.

There's a good edit where somebody cut together Brett's testimony with the opening scene from pulp fiction when samuel l jackson is just talking shit to uh brad yeah brett oh also brett who fucked marcellus wallace a tweet i enjoyed from guy branham former guest guy branham i love guy fox news is actually a benevolent charity that helps to alienate you from your parents in their senior years so it hurts a little less when they die. Oof.

You know what you can do? You know what you can do and you should do? This was another tweet that I enjoyed. Use the parental blocks to block Fox News in your dad's house. Oh, shit. Oh, man. That's a great idea. And they get all mad.

Yeah. It doesn't come on anymore. Exactly. Unbrainwash your parents use those parental blocks that's a good hack if you got the parents that are still on that bullshit if they can't set up the wifi they can't figure out that password can you imagine the wave of parents being like

my kids are ruining my internet god damn genius and then Ryan Bernadoni tweeted, Ted Cruz is 500 rats inside a person suit, and each rat is 50 cockroaches inside a rat suit. You can follow me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien. You can follow us on Twitter at Daily Zeitgeist.

I think we are going to go out on, this is funny, it's like a throwback track,

but there is a song by Mike Snow called Animal, which I think most people know. I can't say my name is like that I'm still an animal. Anyway, but there's a Mark Ronson remix that gives you that little island feel, that little reggae feel. So yeah, peep this Mark Ronson remix of Animal by Mike Snow.
