Like I said, raw dog in the world with my bare face and i don't like it yeah i think it looks good man you look young uh which i'm sure people have told you the second oh yeah oh yeah it's i mean it's pure baby face it's like how old are you again right they have people refusing to sell you like alcohol they're like no this is fake man you look too young i don't believe this shit. All right, Derek, we are going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about. Donald Trump is suing social media because he can't sue the clouds. He's suing just social media.

So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about the National Review making a claim that they deserve sex even though they're conservative. They're worried about that. We're going to talk about how America actually invented the residential schools program that Canada's been getting a lot of coverage and national reckoning over public outrage. America invented that shit and had those same programs going on so we'll talk about that we'll talk about the nypd's

new program the nypd game truck baby get ready for though oh you don't know? NYPD game truck? Yeah, man. They've seen this succeed for many years. Here, come into my shaded van with promises of things that kids like. And so they're trying their hand at that with a video game truck that they drive around. And it's supposedly public outreach. People have reasons to be concerned. They're like, look, kids, we're not all bastards, are we? Because if we were, we wouldn't have this sick ass 2K rig in here, right? All right.

Literally, literally. That's the that's the game plan. And we'll talk about Sha'Carri Richardson being just out of the Olympics. Why the USATF is ridiculous and full of shit, and why the Olympics are going to suck this year. All of that, plenty more. But first, Derek, we like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history? I've been doing like a shit ton of cooking, just like you guys are going to have to come

over and sample some of this delish wow i mean like ceviche almost like you were saying cocaine i've been doing a shit ton of cocaine you know just all of the yeah just tons of cooking so like right now i'm focusing i bought like a couple books on like particularly like cuisine from mexico so you know i'm trying to tap back into trying to tap back into those roots yeah you know uh made a ceviche made like an agua chile which is kind of the same thing but a little bit different yeah you know chicken thinga like i'm gonna try and do some carnitas like michoacan style for all the michoacan folks okay who are listening to the podcast shout out and is this a is this something that you're like are you a person who's very comfortable in the kitchen is this something that comes

natural to you or are you i am now yeah i mean before i don't like it's something that developed i think so like for for a long time like almost my entire 20s i was living with my grandparents and my grandma did a lot of cooking so you know like when she died in 2019 it was kind of like a big moment of like certain things missing come like you know family time so like that christmas we normally got together in november started making tamales that didn't happen right you know like major holidays i mean obviously during the pandemic my family was like maybe should we and i kept being like no guys we should not right but you know the the desire to like get back together even for like this last easter break you know was was sort of there and like just like the family staples were missing and so i felt like well i'm probably the next best cook question mark

so i should like i should learn and i should like be able to i mean cook for myself yeah but you know more than just like oh here let me make a turkey sandwich yeah but like preserve those traditions yeah food is love like that's the that i found that like that's the best way that I can show somebody like, hey, I care about you. When you come to my home, let me cook you a meal. Kick back.'m like damn who's cooking for me that's when i go to like pollo alabrasa or something i get my chicken on because i can't stop eating that but yeah or i mean yeah i totally understand like the familial traditions especially like when you come from a family where food is such a big thing like whether especially on my dad's side my my grandfather's huge into barbecue. Like he's had a barbecue restaurant was that's like part of the fabric of my family. And as he was getting older, he started making less barbecue. And that kind of like set off alarm bells for me before he passed away to like, like, I remember I made him make his sauce and I put it on camera

because he's one of these old folks who's just says like a little bit of this and some of that and this, and it tastes consistent every time. So I'm like, okay, I just need to put a camera on this entire process so I can, you know, replicate his barbecue sauce accurately. And yeah, like, there's no greater motivator than, you know, like, right after my grandfather passed, we missed a few, like, normal times we would get together. And I had to be like, yo, we need to get together real quick. Like, we have to have a, we to get together on sunday to do something

because we can't just let this element of the family just sort of disintegrate so yeah yeah it's crazy how like how grandparents tend to be the glue in a lot of family situations you know because they're the ones being like all right you need to make peace with your brother you need to make peace with your sister you guys need to talk this shit out and then once they once they're gone like you know beef just sort of simmers because there's nobody there who's like old enough you know because i can't tell my mom or i can't tell you know my family like hey y'all need to resolve this shit because that doesn't work because i'm the kid they're like shut up you don't know anything you know you're 30 what do you know you look 12 with that baby face of yours yeah so yeah it's just weird things that i've noticed so

it's it's like filling like you were saying just like filling in and trying to preserve those kinds of like traditions yeah yeah grandparents are just it's just pure love. Like that's seems like it's like the peak human relationship because it's just like pure love. Like, no, they don't like have the fear and the anxiety and all the weight that comes with like parenthood because they've just like been through that shit. Yeah. Or they're like, oh, they're like, oh, good. Another a second chance to do better with their kids. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. second chance to do better with their kids. Right. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Kind of winged it with their parents. Exactly.

What is something you think is overrated, Derek? Elon Musk, hands down. Hell yeah. That man, I get that he has tons of stans on Twitter or whatever. he has a you know tons of stands on twitter or whatever but like if like objectively the dude is not a like a smart person and he's not a good person like objectively we can just like look at like lay everything out on the table bar any of the excuses yeah well what about yeah well what about it's like the dude didn't invent anything. He's not Tony Stark. We can stop calling him Tony Stark because he's not.

He's a dude who has been backed by blood money his entire life. We can just, like, own that. And if you want to stand him for that, then just say that. But you need to own it. I stand the blood money. Yeah. My blood money king. Yeah. my blood money king yeah he i think is probably if we had an official overrated as a podcast or at least if i got to like choose it elon musk would be would be mine just the amount of cultural

just energy that goes towards just loving on whatever whatever thing he's promoting uh whatever bullshit scam he's got going whatever relationship he's in like it's just yeah i mean ultimately like you know bitcoin we we can go back and forth on it all day like it's bad for the environment and the dude is ultimately only looking for himself like yeah he's gonna try and turn a profit dogecoin is what it is because of him yeah he's not in space he's not gonna be in space anytime soon so you even call yourself a billionaire he got that contract though you know i mean that's remember bezos is real tight about that because he was like well i should also you can't just have one billionaire you should share because we're billionaires we know that concept yeah we're great at sharing i love that this is the dystopia it's it's like we still have there's i mean there's still a raging pandemic there's still like

global poverty on a on a on a level that like hasn't been seen in a long time but then for these three guys they're like you know what i think it's time we go to space yeah again global poverty for you yeah i don't know if you've seen my shit i fucking cashed out on doge right before i hit the stage on snl baby i'm all good but yeah that's a it's it is again it's just like that gil scott herring you know whitey's on the moon yeah from the 60s basically saying we got all these problems down here but whitey's on the moon okay yeah and just the ambient like not just like covering shit for this show but just like just ambiently like people who i encounter on a day-to-day basis like the amount of respect they put on elon musk's name is just well you know because i think at the end of the

day like because we don't realize that the underpinnings of our whole society is basically surviving. It's not really that like you're living your life, not in this country. It's like you have to survive because if you if the revenue thing shuts down, you're fucked. So like looking at these people who don't have the stress of survival is like they're like, oh, my God, that's the life. have the stress of survival is like, you're like, oh my God, that's the life. That's the life without really considering everything that's tied to that, which is we're stuck in a rat race where you're not being paid, which you should be. And meanwhile, you're like, you're, you're bigging up the people that are siphoning your wealth. But I've heard people quote Elon Musk, like he's a philosopher. Well, hold on. Let me clarify. I only said that because I thought it was really poignant.

What is something you think is underrated, Derek? I'm going to lean hard on the dystopia thing. So, like, I went full, like, conspiracy brain. I was watching a bunch of TikToks. And, you know, that one that dude, I think he goes by Blackout, is, you know, what's a conspiracy you wouldn't thousand percent believe is true even though like you can't prove it i think like i was just watching all of these anti-abortion laws you know start popping up and like judges ruling in favor there was like a there was like some dude who raped like a 12 year old and was able to like get custody of the kid or partial custody. And it's gross and disgusting.

And obviously, these laws are being put into place at the state level so they can get challenged and go to the Supreme Court with the conservative justices. And so it's like, well, what's the motive here? What's the end game? And it's like the middle class was given up on 30 years ago, 40 years ago now. And America is slowly becoming just a cheap source of labor, like all of the right to work laws that kind of under undercut the minimum wage, the stagnation in wages while like prices, you know, just keep going through the roof prices of of groceries prices of you know rent so it like adding to that women's or people who who can give birth adding the weight of having to give birth and pay for children that you can't afford to have or don't want in your life like that's part of it makes you like indentured you know to whatever job you can afford to like like miles was saying to just survive like that's that's all you

get i just got done reading octavia butler's uh parable of the sower and it's scary like how accurate she is like it only takes place five years from now it takes place in 2026 but you can see a lot of the the sort of end stage capitalist consequences that like that are in the book that are slowly kind of like unraveling right now and it made me go like oh i need to get my passport i need to like yeah octavia bowler's writing will fucking rip it make your mind explode yeah because she bases everything in reality so or at least this series so it's not it's not outside of it's not too outside of fiction it feels real and she even said herself like oh yeah i just took all of the modern problems that we have with like democratic inaction and push them and and capitalist exploitation and kind of

push them to the most logical end yeah so the conspiracy is that the pro-life movement is secretly a way for the kind of aristocracy to continue to, like, provide labor that they can exploit? Is that kind of? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I see the former middle class of the United States being like, not to knock on developing nations or exploited nations, but like Malaysia or Indonesia, where like factory jobs with shitty circumstances and shitty pay is all that you can get if you're lucky because college is unaffordable or, you know, outside of your reach if you're not able to do it. Right. And of course, all these abortion laws apply only to the poor. They don't apply to the wealthy. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. You'll always be able to pay for an abortion because they can have the means to find a way to get access.

Right. Yeah. I mean mean that totally makes sense hey i just thought they wanted to make sure there's not there's enough good american people out there because i see the demographic numbers changing man 2040 baby yeah all right let's take a quick break and we'll be right back I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session, 24 hours. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not.

What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

It was December 2019 when the story blew up. It was December 2019 when the story blew up.

In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked.

Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And there's a couple of headlines about Trump. One question. I was actually talking to Dramos about this. Do you think that Trump headlines are overblown at this point because people made their careers off of Trump headlines from 2016 to 2020. And now like they're trying to reach back and get that old hit. Or do you think like I part of me thinks that is going on. But I also recognize that he's about to be the presidential nominee for the Republican

Party, like in our two party system, he's going to be running for president. So like, I don't know. Still seems valid to me, right? Yeah, you're right. It is valid. But at the same time, it's like corporate media and the 24-hour news cycle contributed to all of this. You know, it's like the fact that they constantly have to have ratings, that they constantly have to justify the money that they're receiving from advertisers. Yeah. utter bullshit like oh he misspoke or oh he said covifi in a tweet like none of that matters tell me about policy tell me about like what's actually happening like that could have with yeah that's

actually having repercussions for for people who are alive right well if we do that then they'll start connecting the dots and it's better to just feed them this uh flavorless chum out of this bucket that looks like exciting news but yeah i don't know i think i think we see it it's if it's not trump they find someone else because it's you know majorly tainted gooch now or i'm marjorie major marjorie taylor green i believe is her name where she just has this whole cycle of like equivocating and talking bring up the nazis and things and that's how she gets in and was like, I can't believe you're talking about Nazis. And like they found their little outrage button to push with her, even though it really has

nothing to do with anything that's actually happening. But yeah, I mean, with Trump now, you know, the big headline was people from the Trump org getting, you know, in real legal trouble, getting detained, arrested, real charges coming for them. Will they cooperate? We don't know. And he's, you know, doing his old same old song and dance, which is all right. Let me throw a smoke bomb over here and get people to talk about this other thing.

So sure enough, he's now coming out here announcing that he will now be suing basically Mark Zuckerberg, Jack dorsey youtube and sundar pichai like everyone like the companies and their ceos because if you remember i don't know if you remember he was he was going all off on social media you know saying all this stuff like the election was rigged remember and then those people went to the capitol to try to overturn the election. Remember that? Remember that? Remember? Remember? Remember that? Six months ago?

Right. Yeah. Because of that. Right. They rightfully were like, dude, this guy's gone. Even though they should have done it ages before that. They drew the line. And now he's suing them.

And but don't worry. You look at those companies. It goes, those are trillions of dollars worth of company right there. Like, are you what exactly is your plan and he says it will go down as the biggest class action ever filed because thousands of people want to join okay and his whole idea is that if you've been canceled off of social media that you will join this and create this formidable army of litigants yeah i mean hell yeah dude it's about time somebody spoke up for the former president of the united states yeah that old playbook well then i'm gonna sue you

it's like uh you're gonna sue google and facebook for okay yeah uh-huh i'm pretty sure that that'll work but again i think this is just another attempt banging sort of the same culture war drum for his constituent his members and his followers to be like look the mainstream media cancels us because we have opinions slash we tell lies to incite people this is nonsense look how you know how oppressed we are and i mean when you look at don jr's cameos recently it's it's it's hard to think that things are going well yeah over there in that family he looks to me like i don't know how else to say it like his teeth look like they hurt to fit in his head yeah that makes sense like just looking at his face it's like yeah yeah or he's or he probably says shit to like kimberly

gilford's like feels like my teeth are growing kim oh they hurt oh god just rub some more blow on your gums honey all right all right i don't know that scene the moment that was caught on tape by him i believe he was he was filming it of them backstage watching the insurrection while Gloria is playing and Kim is dancing to Gloria and like they're just like out of their mind on blow it would seem allegedly is like still so I I don't know I can't shake that moment somebody played Gloria on the radio the other day like I was like getting out of the car and like when i disconnected my phone that was playing and i was like man i i almost feel like you can't play that song anymore after that it's only been a few months imagine like you know 10 years from now a decade from now and just ptsd flashbacks of it's like oh god remember that in that almost successful insurrection, if they had been like organized any better, like they might have gotten away with it.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think, again, he needs to raise money. This will help to just I guess that much they must see some connection between being like, I'm a victim. And people like here, Patriot, save yourself. Yeah. I mean, milk a sheep. Yeah. But, you know, what's interesting, too, though, is like since he's been banned from social media franklin graham the the preacher has become like the most active and engaged social media account in in maga world yeah like so it's like watching where people are going now is also kind of interesting but yeah still the same old shit the other headline is that a new book is revealing that he told uh john kelly uh his chief of staff, that Hitler did a lot of good things, which shouldn't be like we knew he kept a book of Hitler quotes on his bedside table.

Like that was that was a detail in a 90s profile of him. Like he has not been trying to hide his his allegiance from day one. So not shocking. Well, let's talk about another way that the right is feeling the pressure and reacting like babies. There's this National Review article. It's like an op-ed that is arguing that because a new poll shows that people don't want to have sex with Trump supporters, that that is actually a civil rights issue. Yeah, but then it's kind of the article goes on and then it's sort of like you realize, oh, this was just like the hook to get you in on this other talking point. So it starts off again, because it showed that people who don't support Trump are not likely to have sex with Trump supporters. OK, and that's like to sort of kick the whole thing off. And he says, quote, this reveals the predilection among many young elite Americans for progressive authoritarianism,

a belief system that justifies infringing rights to equal treatment or free speech in the name of emotional safety of historically marginalized race, gender, and sexuality groups. In this left modernist worldview, conservatives' resistance to racial, gender, and sexual progressivism mark them as moral deviants. As millennials take power, this generational earthquake is set to shake the foundations of the cultural elite to its core leading to a pervasive discrimination against and censorship of conservative views hell oh yeah and like oh okay and like so through this he points to like these different like just really about this poll specifically nothing really much more substantive than that also points about how like northern ireland some couples who are in like mixed protestant catholic relationships feel uncomfortable in certain places so it's like what is your point then he also says says it talks brings up this other guy spencer case

saying spencer case argues that those who politically discriminate are acting in precisely the same manner as those who justify prejudice against Muslims or Jews. It's all the same to them. Yeah. But that's so funny that they bring out the Irish thing because it's... They were slaves, didn't you know? Yeah, they're trying to find an example of white people being discriminated against and they have to go to fucking mixed Protestant Catholic relationships...

In Northern Ireland. In Northern Ireland to, like like deal with it's like yo like all of these groups that you're talking about are like uh even better examples of discrimination why aren't you talking about them huh like what why doesn't discrimination against them count is it because their discrimination is based on them not being white is that right disqualifying it's a it's a it's a hard it's a hard uh you know needle to thread in this case but then he hard pivots to this argument essentially about how the federal government needs to intervene to protect them and how political ideology is under attack and then so it's sort of like setting

up it's like well no one's gonna fuck conservatives and then look what happens to some people in northern ireland all to say that the government must intervene and help to you know stem this like tide of progress because conservative people will be obliterated for being of a different time i mean i suggest that they just go fuck themselves right i'm gonna write that down yeah they're pretty counterpoint go fuck yourself it's weird it's weird that like the conservative ideology like always or it's kind of centered in sex and like who gets to have it and when and why right like you know queer folks obviously ew gay people

no you know ew trans people no you know and you go back just a couple decades and black and white people knew no you know interracial people no but it's like we're we're demanding that people date us we're demanding that people fuck us and equating it to a civil right and having the federal government intervene. Like that's I mean, that's kind of the prime example of of like white privilege of nobody that I know that is a reasonably socialized, aware person would even imagine to like. Utter those words like we should have the federal government intervene because we aren't getting late enough yeah right but i mean this is this is like i mean when you look at sort of autopsies of the trump movement gamergate was at like when bannon first started being like maybe there's something here even before he had settled on Trump as the

person to exploit it. Gamergate, which was like the incels and people who hate women, like young men who hate women for not having sex with them, were like an initial, like sort of the seed crystal to this whole idea that Bannon then decided to use Trump to exploit. So it all, it makes sense. I've just never seen them be this willing to like draw that out. I mean, there's a little more. Fuck us! Well, there is a guy who is essentially, who has argued, he's like an economist who said like, you know, if men don't have sex, they're just going to become murderers.

So we need to figure that out. Because that's exactly how that happens. This is more like, again, it's not saying that because they're not fucking in the federal government has to protect us. They're saying like the way this sort of argument said is like they're not fucking us. The colleges are full of like liberals. And if this is the case, then what does this mean for conservatism? Meaning that because these universities are like bastions of, of leftist thinking that something has to be done to like write the scales essentially,

and not, not specifically tied to sex, but at the same time, I'm like, well, I think y'all are doing okay. Considering all the fuckery that's going on in state houses as it relates to voting rights and things like that.

I'm not, I don't, I don't see where conservatives are having trouble controlling things. Yeah, it's pretty wild. The National Review is the great, great arguments being made all around over there. There was another like op ed recently in the National Review that was all about like discrimination against anti-choice like housewives but it was like clearly written by somebody who'd never met the women that she was writing about she was like just because they're ugly and not in good shape and it's like yo what the fuck this is the cruelest thing i've ever seen i would love i would love somebody to like dig up the corpse of will F. Buckley and like sit him down, just reanimate him for 15 minutes

and like tell him, hey, so your paper, your thing, here's what they just published and like try and explain to him that article. Right. Right. Exactly. And then they're just basically like,

hold on, they're advocating for government intervention? Like they want bigger government to solve this problem? Hold on. What happened here? This isn't our thinking. This isn't how we get down. Yeah.

And just let them stroke out on like this. Meanwhile, most people will be like, yo, they reanimated a corpse. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Kill it. Kill it. All right. I wanted to talk about residential schools. And this is, you know, an ongoing story that we're going to continue talking about on this show.

But there's been a lot of coverage of the mass graves of, you know, indigenous people and children discovered on the grounds of former residential schools in Canada. And a lot of the coverage has treated it as a uniquely Canadian phenomenon. I think we even were like, God damn, this is like evil for Canada. Well, it turns out America gave them the idea for Indian residential schools. As early as 1819, the United States was institutionalizing indigenous genocide in the form of industrial schools and boarding programs. And then a Canadian prime minister sent a journalist down to like document it. And they basically imported it from America. They imported the idea and the ideology from America, which is not shocking. But this writer,igail kirby conklin directly reached out and

was like yo you guys should know that this is america is very complicit in this i mean america's superpower one of them is just to point at a problem abroad and be like i can't believe that's happening there meanwhile you started this shit right and just yeah and be able to put the focus on something else i mean yeah whenever i'd read about i'm like where are the stories about because you know the u.s has a terrible track record with indigenous genocide so i'm curious when the media here begins to bring it up but it takes takes a lot for you know corporate media here to begin to talk about history or how it relates to other countries.

Yeah, it's like if we let it pass, nobody will know. They won't talk about it. So the Catholic Church we know is just a criminal institution. Even when all of those white kids were getting

molested in Boston, like they're a criminal organization that, that has built an entire empire on like actual human misery and suffering. And it doesn't, it doesn't surprise me that the Pope or, or many of these sort of like religious figures are like, well, you know,

everybody's, nobody's perfect to kind of describe like murdering children and taking them from their families and the fact that like a few of the the churches have burned down people like oh my god oh my these churches it's like you're lucky that all that they came for was the building when you came for their children. Yeah. Like, I don't, we do so much pearl clutching over, like, the protection of children, but here are mass graves of children. It's kind of like, yeah, well, what do you expect? What do you want?

It was a different time. Yeah. Right. It's like, well, I don't know. It's kind of the same now because we just, it's just more technological and now it's about separating people and families and it's it's the same energy it's just manifesting in different ways and even to your point i mean like there's a papal decree you know before the colonization of the americas where the pope was like hey spain portugal go do your fucking thing over there enslave these people convert them that's your right i'm the pope i Portugal, go do your fucking thing over there. Enslave these people.

Convert them. That's your right. I'm the Pope. I'm out. Go do it. Like, that is like the, all of there's, they go hand in hand with each other. Yeah. So I think the first episode that I was here with you guys on, like, I was talking about

my indigenous ancestry and like, so that in itself, like, sort of touches my history. I was reading and, you know, like a lot of the documentation that we have about the Mexica empire, what people call the Aztecs, because the Aztecs were like a federation. They weren't called Aztecs. They were the Mexica and there were several different tribes and they were like a federation of communities. When, when the Spanish came, like there's, there's an account written by a Spaniard where it's like, well, we were welcomed into Tenochtitlan with incense, Mico, because they thought we were gods. And the ego and the arrogance on top of that, it's like they didn't think you were gods. You smelled.

You smelled like shit. You didn't bathe. You were filthy. You were filthy. They had working sewage systems they were essentially spraying you with axe body spray on pond entry and you didn't get the hint they perfume us like we are their like we are stinky pieces of colonizer shit and so but it's like but but it's like that's the record that that persisted that you know

because a lot of the stuff was burned. A lot of the stuff was destroyed. And a lot of indigenous history tends to be oral or it tends to be passed down through stories, storytelling. So like the Catholic Church giving Spain and giving Portugal permission to sort of like go to town, go ham on, you know, my ancestors was like, was part of that sort of that was part of that, of that record keeping, I guess it's like, you know, Oh, these, these people are savages and these people are, you know, they had to, they had to come up with a story to justify what they wanted to get done. Yeah. just that topsoil level of like well you guys weren't even really civilized anyway and you know well you guys were just roaming around in the woods thanksgiving like everyone chilled together

so yeah the problem is like i think we were just more lit as a society and you guys yeah it's just sort of all of these all of these like colonial sort of it's like well why didn't you why don't you just ask any of us like they're you know yeah go directly to the source it's not like it's not like we disappeared it's wild like that you talk about that because i remember one of my first like history classes in college was about iberian history so we're talking about spain and you know colonization of the americas and things like that and i remember this is in college this person raised their hand when we were talking about indigenous people and they're being and then being forced conversions and things like that this person was so sincerely confused in this

lecture class raised their hand and out loud asked well didn't the indigenous people want to be converted to christianity like as if you could tell that this person's entire life was spent believing this one thing that they didn't think it was a hot take. They were sincerely confused in a class about the, you know, Americas. Yeah. Then they're saying, but I thought they wanted to. And you realize, yeah, that's that's a lot of the shit that we have to spend our time overcoming is these lies that were told. Yeah. If that's your automatic perception of of native people, pre-colonization, then nothing's a genocide.

Then nothing's a genocide. Then nothing's terrible. Then nothing is a humanitarian crime. Yeah, we were doing them a favor. And the idea that all of these things are lost to history, like there are entire histories that are untranslated because nobody bothered to learn the languages and read them. And it's also like this idea, like that idea that they are less advanced, that their civilizations were less advanced. Like they were more advanced. They were cleaner. They had sewage systems.

The only reason that they died is because of like, there was a lot of obviously like military brutality but it was they were weakened by plague like it was just the luck of the draw of the germ the germ theory that basically fucked them over and it was like 90 percent of the continent was depopulated and that's the reason not it's not that there was like better much better technology or yeah because yeah like it literally they like the mishika empire built an island they built an island in the middle of a lake for to like the epicenter of trade like i don't know how you get more advanced than that. Yeah.

Oh, how about shitting your doubloons on a ship? Or the, or, you know, the, the folks in like Arizona and New Mexico who like, you know, built cities into the,

into the mountains. Yeah. Like, yeah, there's, there's so many, there's so many sites and structures and things we'll never know about because they were, because they were dismantled,

because they were destroyed. And like, the lifestyle was for every, for every, obviously, I'm not going to speak for, for every, every indigenous person or wherever they come from, but like lifestyles were just different that, you know, like these sort of permanent massive structures to like pat yourself on the back of how awesome you are didn't exist for a lot of people like you know some people were nomadic some people were sort of like oh we have we know we go where the we follow the food like like just doing any sort of actual research that like or oral history that's been that's been written and documented by other indigenous people like there's there's so much to learn and there's so much,

like when you truly understand like how fucked over we were in terms of, like Jack was saying, like, yes, the smallpox devastated the population, but there were also government programs, both from Spain, both from Portugal and both from portugal and the and the united states like the intentionally killing buffalo to starve natives you know being able to these residential schools literally being able to purchase native children like for ten dollars like it's multifaceted in in the way that the genocide occurred and is still going because of because of like i know you know people on the nahua nation like who don't have clean water

like they don't have running water they don't have paved roads in a lot of places like the u.s government like literally like killing them out of neglect yeah because it was sort of like oh you want to be your own autonomous nations? Fine, go ahead. But don't ask us for anything. Yeah. Yeah.

It's like, sure. We took all of this, all of this away from me and told you we were going to pay you for it, but right. We're just going to stick you over here and let you do your own thing. Right. We'll pass.

We'll get that checked to you sometime. Yeah. Yeah. America doesn't remember because it doesn't want to remember because this is the DNA of America is that. So they incarcerated thousands of indigenous children. Like we still have a country that is built on mass incarceration. There's the imprisonment of migrants along our border with Mexico during World War Two. imprisonment of migrants along our border with Mexico during World War II. Like, it's just repeating structures within American society that we don't want to examine and fix because

that's how the society works, essentially. But with, specifically with Indigenous people it's really like just go fucking go look up cahokia and the they built a striped mountain that was like made of various colors of soil and clay that they had brought from like hundreds of miles away in st louis that like put the great pyramid of giza or the pyramids in egypt to shame and the reason that like you've never heard of that is because they were about to build a fucking parking lot on it when somebody realized what was happening cahokia was like the biggest city in the world during the 1200s. And America systematically and intentionally doesn't want to honor these histories because they were erased for a reason. And, you know, there's still a lot of America's ideals that are tied up in the reasons that it was erased and why you never learned how advanced indigenous civilizations were but it's actively being ignored it's actively being written out of the news out of history

and people just aren't bothering to study this stuff because it it kind of contradicts you know the central american ideal i guess exceptionalism exceptional can't be exceptional if you're mediocre in comparison to the indigenous people that you're you just moved into a like apocalyptic society and like moved into people's houses like fucking goldilocks and started like just pretended like you did all the work yourself yeah anyways we will continue to cover that as america hopefully deals with its own history of residential schools i mean it's wild to think there's more of a concerted effort to not teach history at the moment oh yeah you know like that's picking up so much space especially on the conservative side is this whole this whole, you know, like when you especially when it relates to critical race theory, that's not even being taught in elementary schools.

But it's there. They know that it's on the subconscious of a lot of conservatives. They know it's like, don't talk about the terrible stuff, because then that that that sort of helps bolster the arguments that we are backwards and we need to change. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that.

Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of my Cultura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts. And we're back. And let's talk about the NYPD. Turns out they're cool after all.

And if they weren't, why would they have a truck with their logo next to a Captain America and frigging Wolverine, you guys? And that truck is designed to draw children in. Has Disney okayed the use of this Marvel IP on this truck? It's a great question. I'm going to hit up Disney. I'm going to let them know right now i'm like i don't know if you are part of this but they got your characters straight up on this thing yep it's that but it's outfitted with a switch a ps5 xboxes and the the goal is basically to they they actually haven't what the goal is, which is a little bit suspicious.

One would presume that they're going to say the goal is to just like improve community outreach, improve their image with like whatever neighborhood they happen to be driving this van to. But people have pointed out that the NYPD has a long and problematic history with, you know, finding ways to lift DNA from children. Like one time the NYPD bought a kid a McDonald's drink and then once they were done questioning him, lifted his straw and used it to gather DNA evidence. his straw and used it to gather dna evidence his dna didn't match the crime scene that they were investigating but they still kept it in a database without it with no right like the the family had to like petition to get it removed and didn't they didn't they also like recently like set up bikes specifically to see who would steal them yeah didn't they set up a sting operation like that sounds like them sounds like that? Sounds like them. Sounds like that failed. So how else do we get kids?

How else do we, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Just create opportunity for people who are doing crimes of desperation. Yes. And then we'll exploit that. Yeah.

One of the favorites of Sheriff Joe Arpaio. They kept a database containing fingerprints of thousands of children who were charged as juvenile delinquents. They keep another database of juvenile mugshots specifically for facial recognition, despite the fact that facial recognition tech has a higher risk of false matches. So are they saying like these trucks are like they got what are they trying to like? They're like, oh, yeah, look into the Xbox Kinect camera to do this. And I got your facial information. It's just people are suspicious.

One New York public defender specifically said, do not get in this truck, period. She said, as a public defender, I've represented kids as young as 15 whose DNA was surreptitiously collected by NYPD, like for a can of soda, a used straw, or a bag of chips. One civil rights attorney and former public defender mentioned that using bogus community outreach programs to, quote, groom informants and mine children for information about their family members and neighbors is also not uncommon, and that if this venture was really about providing harmless activities for young people to engage in, there would be no need for police involvement. And that really, that's it, right? Like why, why do you need the police? Why does it need to be an official police program

if you're just trying to like give them a fun thing to do? Yeah. You could just pay for it and be like, Hey, brought to you by the pigs you know what i mean like just do that and let people go you know rent games or some shit yeah and it says a lot too about like just the state of policing in general like even even assuming i'm going to be naive as fuck and say oh or maybe they're just trying to do a right a good thing for the community like that the fact that there's so much suspicion and the fact that there have been so many other incidents of them just being shady towards children and like setting up kids in this way like you said for informants and and and like

for collecting their dna like that even in the the absolute, most positive case scenario that they were only doing it just to provide something for the kids, for the children. It still says a lot about your reputation and like how much damage you've actually done and what you need to atone for. Right. Oh, yeah. Let's also not forget about the two cops who pled out of a rape charge of a teenage girl who they picked up after a drug bust. They claim to have had, quote, consensual sex with her. It's legal for cops to do that, I think, in 17 states. In the back of a police van.

Yep. And I think in COs, too. Yeah. And the cops got away with not jail time. So these are just not people you want in charge of your children no of anything you know what i mean and it's just so transparent like on its face you're like man after i mean we got we got some pr work to do you know like they they know how terrible their image is because they know the bullshit that they're doing. So they have to go so hard on literally

like a busted ass X-Men game truck to try and, you know, get these kids to see a different version of reality or be like, or have their first memory, not be some, you know, police officer telling you to hold up real quick, come over here. Where are you going? Let me pat you down. And it's more like, Hey man, have you played the new Assassin's Creed? All right. See, the cops are cool. Now you can tell us if someone in your community is dealing drugs out of lack of opportunity, right? Dime them out to us. Great.

Finally, let's talk about Sha'Carri Richardson, who has been basically, she won't be going to the Olympics at all. U.S. track and field only had a cowardly statement to make basically saying that oh my god, we feel so bad for her, but we can't

do anything. Sorry. They sound like Democratic mayors and governors. We get it. We're so sorry. Our hearts, we get it. We so sorry our hearts we get it we are hurting too but there's just there's nothing we can do but you know what we can do we will smoke a blunt at the opening ceremony to honor her um and that's what we will do but it really is on this shit of like

we get it it's so bad and you know what we you know we're we it's so outdated but you know our hands are tied you know because we're tied to this other charter and they said quote so while our heartfelt understanding lies with Sha'Carri we must also maintain fairness for all of the athletes who attempted to realize their dreams by securing a place on the Olympic team

you know we can't Black Lives Matter you guys yeah I mean we could forgive student debt but then it's not fair to all the other people who's who had to toil through the same fucked up system just to kind of see where we're at our hands are tied and it's just like these fucking dumb guidelines these bylaws and shit again relics of failed racist policy u.s drug policy was exported throughout the world especially through like these international drug treaties we have with other countries that creates this like global, you know, understanding of like marijuana is bad. And that's the environment in which the World Anti-Doping Agency has to operate in, because if all these there's all these multinational treaties about about marijuana being illegal, then how the fuck are they going to go run afoul of

that but it's just wild like americans are so past this idea of you know the druggie stoner that ruined their life to start a daily podcast or whatever that even the red states now are realizing what time it is and they're passing laws to legalize recreational weed and they're probably in it for the tax revenues. Let's be real. But on the same time, clearly their calculus has changed to be like, I mean, what's really going to happen? We'll just make money. That's it. Right.

And yeah, I mean, she's 21. So she's got a career ahead of her. But I hope this is like, you know, if I'm writing a script, this is like the beginning of one of the most dominant careers in track and field history, which I would love to see. But at the very least, hopefully she can be the last person who had to deal with this nonsense and discriminatory, you know, anti-doping policy. Yeah. What's Biden say about this? What's Joe Biden? Oh, you know, Joe.

He seems, you know, Joe, you know, you know how he he he keeps it 100 for the for the people of color in this community. He said the rules are the rules. That's literally what he said. Yeah. But, you know, the rules are the rules. Jack. Yeah, exactly. Buddy.

So, yeah, that's you know, it's unfortunate. And, you know, you look at other leagues in the U.S. You know, you look at other leagues in the U.S., baseball, hockey, the NFL, basketball, like NBA. They they're coming around to realizing like, yeah, we should probably relax some of these things. Like it's not like people are playing better and we're just kind of not allowing people to be human and do things that are legal in the states in which they reside. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's very frustrating. So, yeah, because you't even make they wouldn't even put it on the relay team and but if you watch there was a there's a a segment on msnbc this morning where they were talking about like oh my god it's so dated and then they had someone

come on to like basically like but don't worry like it's still gonna be really cool america's gonna still do really good track don't worry like's like, let's forget that we just did that. Let's focus on what's ahead to the games where people are displaced constantly so we can make money. Yeah. Yeah. Well, Derek, as always such a pleasure having you.
