Like there was a story here in Detroit where some woman that was on a school board. Let me see if I can find the audio of the story from the other day. I think I still have it saved in here. Let me see if this is the right audio. February 25th, Wednesday that's yesterday. Let me see if this is the right audio. New denied. Yes.

Okay. So this is audio from a story at a school board or it's a town called Windot. It's like a little suburb kind of. It's called Down River. but it's a suburb of Detroit, kind of a blue-collar working-class suburb type of thing, right? Like a little area. It's called Wyndott.

And this is a story from a school board member who posted something stupid. That some are calling racist. It's not racist because Muslim isn't a race. Last time I checked, it's a religion. But anyway, here's the news story about what this woman posted that got everybody's dander up, if you will. New tonight, the Wyandotte Board of Education condemning a controversial comment made by a trustee, a formal resolution calling a Facebook comment discriminatory and hurtful. Trustees Cindy Kenny absent for tonight's meeting sending in a letter apologizing for her behavior.

Some parents and even some trustees calling for her resignation. And we talk about this a lot. It is truly astounding the dumb shit that people will post on social media. Like I don't know if they think they're in like, a protected cocoon. Like, I don't know if they just think that no one's ever going to see it or like you can just post whatever, especially people who are in positions of power or people who are authority or people who are famous.

Like, people just feel like emboldened to just post dumb shit. Seven News, Detroit reporter Darren Cunningham, raising their voices tonight. He's also explaining the comment, the backlash that has followed and the next steps for the district. At the special board meeting here at City Hall, community members. called for Cindy Kinney to resign, saying that the Wyandotte School Board trustee can't be trusted to lead after her comment online. And look, when you hear this, I'll be like, I agree, because if you're that fucking stupid, ma'am, bless your heart, fuck off! You are dumb!

This is the post that has landed Cindy Kinney in hot water with her fellow Wyandotte School Board members and community members. The image compares Muslims to dogs, asking people which of the two would they choose? Kenny replied, dogs. Jesus lady, what are you doing? Now, if you want to go with an argument on here, you could say, well, what if it was Catholics or dogs and somebody would have posted dogs, then you'd be fine. There are protected classes of people. We know that there are protected classes of people, and there are people that you can just shit on. And, you know, like, I saw something that Adam Carolla had said, and I agree with it.

Basically, it was one of the more brilliant things I've heard about something like this. But it was when Don Lemon wanted to flex his muscles and go into the Catholic Church and act like he's some sort of fucking hero. Like, of course, anybody can go into the Catholic Church because the Catholic Church people aren't going to go out and cut your head off. So you can walk in there and shit on them and everybody will celebrate you like you're some sort of hero. But like, why don't you go talk to the Islamic people and go shit on them and go into a mosque or whatever and see what's going to happen to you then? They'll probably cut your fucking head off because you're gay, right? And I was like, you know what? It's a valid point.

Something that I think a lot of the time. And like, it's easy to go after low-hanging fruit targets. And, like, Catholics are easy low-hanging fruit targets. Why? Because most people are just going to celebrate you, especially left-wing people, are going to celebrate you for going after religious people who aren't Muslim, basically. So there are protected groups of people. And if that would have been like, hey, white people are dogs and a bunch of people would have said dogs,

then those people probably wouldn't have lost their jobs or anything. That's true. And there are double standards. Fine. But, ma'am, just because there are double standards, doesn't mean you should be a fucking moron. And this lady was a moron. Backlash prompted the board to call this special meeting. Trustee Kinney will not be in attendance due to a pre-planned trip out of state.

The board says that was convenient. Kenny had a pre-planned trip out of state. Despite her absence, a dozen people took to the podium expressing their disgust with her comment. Imagine what kind of future adults we are raising. If we teach children that some people in our community and the adults in our community and the greater community are not as worthy of our care as others, if you don't value you, Muslim children, you are doing a great disservice to every child in this district. Well, in fairness, everybody on social media portrays everybody else as some sort of lesser-than

group and people are allowed to say a lot of fucked up shit about a lot of people. If we are being fair here, that happens everywhere. But again, there are double standards and all that. Ignoring the fact that there are double standards because it's a whiny thing to say, like, oh, what about this? The what-aboutism? Fuck the what-aboutism. Ma'am, you're on the school board.

Like, what are we doing? How is she sitting here? Like, this seems like a good idea. Like, that's the thing that fascinates me about people that post dumb shit. By the way, that lady had resigned. So the follow-up to that story is that lady resigned. And that story came out today that that lady resigned. But like, and I know I say dumb shit on social media and I've gotten in trouble for dumb shit I say on social media.

And there'll be times that I'm just fighting with people on social media. And I'm like, Josh, what the fuck are you doing? Like yesterday, I was in this wormhole. This person I was fighting with may have been a bot. because the person was so dumb that they had to have been a bot. But the hard part is, like, you truly can't differentiate bots versus legit psychos because people have lost their fucking minds. But I'm kind of going back and forth with this guy who, because I said Dan Lebitard is boring and miserable, that automatically means that I'm MAGA and that I automatically support anybody who's perceived to be like a right-wing sports commentator, whatever, a right-wing sports commentator, whatever, a right-wing. sports commentator is. So like this guy says, Pat McAfee, I'm like, why is Pat McAfee a right-wing sports

commentator? Because he doesn't open up every show crying about Trump, or he interviewed Trump or whatever, right? Or he talked to Aaron Rogers. Does that make him a right-wing wacko? And I forgot, like Clay Travis is one. And if you ever listen to this podcast, and that's the other thing, people don't listen to the podcast. They just look at you on Twitter. And they decipher that if you're not one of them that you're obviously a Trump or MAGA person and that you support pedophiles and everything else, whatever. But if you ever listen to this podcast at all, what you would know is that, like, I don't like Clay Travis at all.

We've had this discussion. During the Rona, I was really into it because I was pissed off at the world because, and if it happened again today, I'd be pissed off at the same people again today because everything was getting shut down and small businesses were being shut down. And we were all locked in our houses. We were told we're killing Grammy if we walk outside. People were wearing fucking masks outside. Parks were closed down.

The ocean was fucking closed down. It was fucking stupid. And that is why I voted for Trump. And the one time I ever voted, and it was for Trump in that instance, because I hated those fucking people with a passion. Real talk, I fucking hated those people. I hated the side of fucking Biden. I hated all of these fucking people.

Didn't mean I necessarily like Trump, but I hated what these motherfuckers were standing for during the Rona. And that's why I was on that side for that. outside of that, like, and there was a moment I tried to get the podcast in with Outkick, right? I talked to him, had a phone call with them, and it never came to fruition or anything, but, and that was in 19. I think that was the summer of 2020, so was it during the Rona? I don't remember, but I think it was 2020 because, no, it had to been because in the early stage of 2019, I didn't have a podcast because I was still employed. So it was early 2020.

And I thought, hey, maybe there's a chance of podcast ends up on Outkick, whatever, it didn't, fine. And I'm glad it didn't actually Because I don't That's not what I want to be associated with Not that I think they're the worst humans on the fucking planet I just don't want to be associated with that Like I don't want what I do tied to Oh, you're without kick

So automatically you're maga Automatically you agree with everything they post And you're deemed this horrible human being You know But like if you listen to this podcast at all I despise Clay and Buck I don't think it's interesting I don't think they're funny

I don't think they're compelling I don't like it But of course Dude my favorite if you would think who my favorite political people are. Fucking Bill Maher and Adam Carolla. Like those are people I find funny and interesting and engaging. Most of these people I don't find funny and interesting and engaging.

I'm not compelled to listen to them. But this person was a fucking lunatic. And I made the mistake of going back and forth because there's no way this person was real. It had to have been a bot because the shit this person was saying. And I even said, so you think you know what I'm about, right? Like, yep, you're a Trump or whatever. Okay. Then do this.

Tell me what I am without saying Trump. or right wing or left wing, conservative left, pedophile, Epstein. Tell me what my feelings are without using those words. Use your adult words. Use your big boy words, weird guy on social media. Tell me, use your words. And every time it was pedophile, I'm like, you're wasting my time because you can't do it, because that's all you have.

All you have is if this person, if you, if this person doesn't agree with everything you say, they are a pedophile and they are protector of a pedophile and they voted for someone who's a pedophile or protects pedophiles. And I mean this respectfully. These people have shit for brains, respectfully. Their brains have been destroyed. And part of it is they live in a world where the social media world and others have told them so much that their opinions matter and that they have to fall in line with that. that they just, like, they're empowered by that. There's a, like a mind, something with their mind fires off.

Endorphins fire off in their mind when they do this shit. And it gets them going and it gets their fucking, gets their dick hard if they can. If they have a dick, I don't know. But like it gets their dick hard. It gets their clam all fucking, ah, they're feeling good. Like there's an endorphin rush that they get from it. Like you would get from smoking a cigarette or gambling or having a sexual encounter or whatever. like these people are nuts.

And I made the mistake of engaging with this because there is no winning. I could literally tell these people, hey, here's my feelings on blank, blank, blank, and it still wouldn't matter. You're a trumper and you protect pedophiles. And then like, you're like, well, what about this? Oh, so you think it's okay to protect a pedophile? Like, it's to the point that it can't be real because it's so absurd. It can't be real.

And I, and, you know, the argument would be, well, Josh is going to come back around again? Do you think that these things are ever going to change or whatever? Like I saw this the other day from Gavin Newsom.
