Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to Season twenty seven, episode
three night Feist for April eighteen, two thousand eighteen. My
name is Jack O'Brien a K. I'm Jack Jack in
the New York Groove. That is ace freely courtesy of
Snarky Dessad on Twitter. Nailed it, and I am thrilled

(00:22):
to be joined as always by my co host, Mr
Miles Greg. Yeah, well you know, Miles gray is my
favorite color. Why I felt so symbolic yesterday smoking cool
with weed. I just want to be a big star.

(00:43):
Thank you to a Catfish Hunter seventy eight for that
one that all nineties bullshit song. A gay is a
welcome so much feeling in your voice. I mean, you know, honestly,
I that song. I really liked a good song, and
no like in an unhealthy way. So yeah, but anyway,
let's let's not make this about me. Why am I

(01:03):
h We can't believe that had a real purpose. Oh yeah,
let's okay, Oh yeah, section because I'm Miles great anyway, Yes,
that's that's how we do this. And we are thrilled
to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious
comedian Marlena Rodrigue, What song will you be seeing? Um? Okay,
I'll started the do you to pay for that? Just

(01:28):
those two? Just just also the lyrics lightly, so it's
a pair. I'm not a fair use segment, but yes
I like it. You go. Oh that had a purpose
because prior to recording I was just screaming, scream singing
the entire song. And I think you probably thought, where
the funk? Am I? What this dude happen? Who will
stop talking about Adam Durrett's prolific celebrity data as we

(01:50):
looked at his Wikipedia. Don't forget just the magnitude of
settling that we are faced with, Right, white guy with dreads? Yeah, Marlena,
what is something from your search history that is revealing
about who you are? Oh? Revealing about who I am?
We are? I might have I might have done this wrong. Um,

(02:10):
but I have a habit of um getting really high
and convincing myself. I definitely have herpes. Wow, do the
same thing, but cancer? Okay, right, way cooler one. I
used to do that when I was in my teenage.
M No reason, there's no reason at all, But every

(02:33):
single time I am just so sure. And so that's
what I'm googling all the time, just like do I
have herpes? Like what which one is the herd? Simplex? Um,
why do I have? How long? How long do I have?
The cold that I think people? I remember that was
the thing when I was a teenager. I read it's
like sometimes people get a cold before outbreak or something,

(02:55):
and that had me all funked up because out of
cold and I was like, oh, I've heard pies or whatever.
I mean mistake was that, I you know, how like
really hot people just have her bees you know that.
I mean, you know, yeah, it's like every reality. Well
it's very common, so I think, yeah, just by sheer

(03:16):
volume of course. Yeah. In college, it was like the
hottest guy had ever seen. UM paid attention to me.
And the first night that we ever like hooked up,
not even we didn't even do it. It was very sweet.
It was wonderful. And then UM we were just like
hanging out at his apartment and he was like, I
tell you something. I was like, oh what, and he
was like, I have heart bees and I was like, no,

(03:37):
you don't. After it, and then that happened three more
times and then uh, and then I had to believe
it but he told you didn't work out. It didn't.
It was just a back and forth in that moment
of like yes I do and like no, it was
real bad. Yeah, you were to getting over the perception

(03:59):
that yet and I never you know, I never got
to sucistic. I never got to raw dog with him.
I'm sorry, so sorry to hear that. Well, now his
dad is president, so you know it's rough. Yeah, it
as Marlene. What is something you think is underrated? Um? Underrated? Okay,

(04:23):
now I did and understanding correctly and underrated about myself?
Whatever you want anything? Yeah, no, I like this. No, no, no, no, no.
This is why we like. This is the form it's
meant to be. And I don't think that everybody should
be like my sense of humor is underrated. My shoulders,
that's where we're going. She's viciously scratching something out of

(04:44):
her not I can't do that. Um underrated about you?
About me? As everything is is. I was in the
first high school production of Cats, like the first licensed
to product like what do you mean? Correct? Thank you?
And I was also in the most underrated role, which

(05:07):
was the cat's chorus. Now, as you all obviously understand
the cat's course is the group of understudies um not
only learned the entire show, um, but never we're actually
on stage and just stood backstage in front of a

(05:29):
mic and saying all the words no, not, we didn't
even get that far. Yeah, yeah, I thought that was
extremely underrated half of society. Rum Tum Tugger is a
curious cat. You know, thank you so much. Would you
say that that play in general is is underrated? I

(05:55):
would say musical, I would say it's it's deeply underrated.
Did T. S. Eliott had a lot of backstories behind
those cats? I know, isn't that interesting? A lot of
a lot of them. Do yourself a favor, get crazy
high and just start reading that Wikipedia, like weird little stories. T. S.
Eliott wrote about like neighborhood strays. Yeah, and like really

(06:19):
huge backstories. One was like a paid whore and just
and then got old. Now like no one, like my
mom does the exact same thing with animals when she
adopts them. So she said back stories, Yeah, like she
was the first catch she adopted was this cat or
like her that had given birth to a litter of cats,

(06:41):
and all the kittens were adopted and like her friend
whose house the cat given birth. She's like, I got
homes for everyone except for the mother, and my mom goes,
I will take her, okay. And then when suddenly I
go over there, what fun? Like what is this catch
you guys? She was a single mother on the streets
with nowhere to go, and I was like okay, and

(07:01):
then I just asked around. I was like, okay, so
this is what happened. She loves to do that. Then
now she has put that fixation on possums. My mom
is a possum. My mom go the worst. This is
what happened. Let me bust them in here. My mom
capes for possums. She has. She's a fucking card carrying
member of like the Possum Society or some But they
get a bad rap because they don't have her bees

(07:22):
or I'm sorry, herpie. Oh sorry, guy got put in
my brain. They don't have rabies and that's why you
can kiss them. But yeah, she's like, you know, like
it's not they have rabies and things like that. They're
really docile or whatever. They just look they do not
have rabies. Yeah, they just look like they just look
like total ship because they have like pink eyes and

(07:44):
weird and like jagged ass teeth. And my mom's like,
you can't just assume that. And I'm like, okay, well,
their mouths are incredibly clean, and then she's like yeah,
it's like and yeah, and so she like feeds them
now and like they get along with my cat. My
mom's got a whole menagerie going on. Their wild possums.
They're wild possums that hang out with my mom's cats

(08:07):
because my mom has like gotten the cats used to
the possums because my mom she's never touched the possum.
But she sees again, she saw possum with a litter,
and she goes, it's a single mother. Oh and the kids,
they just they need water because in the summery it
was hot and in the valley like it's dry as ship,
so like the animals do come out looking for water.
So she just she turned her backyard into the fucking
you know, the neighborhood spot for possums. Congrats on her

(08:29):
having a backyard. Look at me. Look, I didn't mean
to flex on you. We're out here, uh, but that
just going back to the T. S. Eliot thing. I
was so surprised by that because Cats is such a
piece of culture that is looked down on by like
high faluting like New Yorkers and stuff. And the fact
that it was like based on a T. S. Eliot

(08:50):
work is like the last thing you would express. So yeah,
check out the Wikipedia of Cats is dope. I'm sorry,
just one question. You said your high school was the
first high school to do a production of Cats. What
is your high school? Your high school like a special theater.
I went to two high schools at the same time,
so in the morning, I'm sorry, how is that possible? Um?
So I have a fake idea. It sounds like a

(09:11):
wacky eighties comedy, Like then you run out and like
put a backwards hat on and a fake mustache. I
would say, that's like a fair That is exactly. Uh.
We would go to regular high school in the morning,
so from like seven thirty to twelve thirty, we'd take
like math and science, and then we'd all jump in

(09:31):
a bus about twenty of us and we would go
to Hartford downtown whatever and uh yeah, the dirty water
and m and then we would from one to four
fifteen do like whatever. So I was a voice major
for three years and then I switched to theater. No,
I heard it. You gave us a taste of Whitney.

(09:55):
I'm really really talented at like at like the bads singing,
like bad singing that sounds like really good. Yeah yeah, okay,
you know, but um, good singing that is a different challenge.
What is that? Can you give us an example of,
like something people would have heard of that is bad
singing that sounds good? Um? I like to take gold

(10:16):
Link songs and turn them in too, operrett Us, So
perchance I want to be more than whole knees. That's awesome.
What is something that is overrated about yourself? But it's
not supposed to be it's not supposed to but that,

(10:37):
But that's what would be Like this, Yo, you're changing
the game, and see from your underrated about yourself, we
got to an underrated about the world. And here I
want to think of something that is genuinely overrated. Um,
hating Beyonce is overrated. I feel like some people who
hate Beyonce because she's overrated, Like those people think she's overrated? Yeah,

(11:01):
I can go themselves. Yes, I think they're very cool
for not liking Beyonce. I think those are people who
just have to be contrarian, because I mean you can.
I mean I could look at the sun and know
that it's the sun, okay, and I could look at
Beyonce and know that is a god entity from another dimension,
only a goddess. Yeah did you see the twitter that?

(11:23):
Did you see? Someone tweeted about their conversation with their
mom was live texting them while watching the Coachella live
stream about Beyonce and she's like, oh my god, I
can't believe. How have I not known about this? This
is impossibly a spectacular this performance. She's in her fourth outfit.
Oh my good. Yeah, she's like I thought she was

(11:45):
a lot before, but I never had seen it as
it's like this long. These sex are like full on paragraphs,
and I was like, see, that's what happens when she's
the best cooked. I do feel like this is the
point at which everybody has been forced to admit that
Beyonce is great, Like that that show, for whatever reason,
was the point like that even the people who were
like funck Beyonce are now like shit, I was I

(12:08):
was wrong, Like I kind of had a feeling I
was wrong before, but now I know that I'm completely wrong.
A kind of ye kind of bit off more than
that two it was two hours. Yeah, all right. And finally, Orlanta,
what does a myth? What is something people think it's
true that you know to be false. I okay, so uh,
I have a very tiny one, um, and then a

(12:30):
bigger one. So the tiny one is that Nordstrom will
take any return that is that is false. Uh. They
have they used to work there, and they have like
a whole system for not taking returns, a lot of
loopholes because before people always thought Norston was the place
you would buy something because if you leave the tag on,

(12:51):
they will always take it back. Even then they'd be like,
if you take the tag off, you can bring it back. Okay, yeah,
if you take But at this point they will kind
no longer do that because everybody's take advantage and they
really keep track of like the bitches coming in returning
all the time, and they start marking you down there,
like they'll send you a letter being like stop it,
You're no longer allowed to come here, even though their

(13:15):
entire brand as you can return when Yeah, I know
that's crazy. Should let Lacey know because I know Lacy
a big he loves the scams, they'll get you. And
Target has a forensics department. They have like labs to forens.
Like they put some return product under a black light
and like see all the it looks like a Jackson

(13:36):
Pollock and they're like this was an electric tea kettle
are everywhere. Yeah, we cannot take this. Uh that's crazy.
They have a friends. Okay, so that's a small myth.
Plus they will not take your ship, thank you. Other
myth Cuba not really there, Cuba one, Yeah, not really there,

(14:02):
but that the people are deprived and there for super
unhappy and suffering. Right. Um I went, and they're fucking
so happy, um and not like not like we know
where deprepped and we're very happy. They don't. They just
kind of don't know. And it's really fascinating to see

(14:23):
like they don't have phones, or they have phones, but
not to the extent that we do. They don't have
like as much entertainment. They just have so much less.
And I really thought I was gonna show up and
see like sad people, and I what I actually saw
was like people that were very very present and seemingly
content in their lives and it was really beautiful. And

(14:45):
then does that bum you out too, because you came
into it thinking it was going to be like that,
because that's how I felt, like, okay, because yeah, when
I went to Africa, I was like, man, I felt
the same thing. I was like, I don't know what
I'm gonna see, like blah blah blah. And then you
realize it's just human nature right to make the best
of your situation. It's not everyone lives comparatively like people
aren't in Cuba thinking man, if I have four g
L T E man like blah blah blah, Like you

(15:07):
know what I mean, And so to them, there's no
other reason but just but to be happy. And then
I was kind of like, damn, like I felt shitty
that I was even like projecting my relative comfort and
technological access and like and and projecting that on a
so and be like, oh, that that must be terrible
for them. And I was like, yeah, you know what,
that's because I'm used to it and I've been coddled

(15:28):
by this like advanced technology or whatever, and yeah, yeah,
it's not the basis of my happiness. That's that's I
guess that's what you learned too, is that's not what
makes you happy they have to filter their water like
they like when you visit, you can't drink their water.
But also they can't drink their water. It's not like
they're used to it or something, and it's like they
don't even they're not even a little bit going to

(15:49):
complain about that. Yeah, it was, it was pretty cool,
but still you know, Oh, A great tip is if
you visit, don't stay in the hotels because the hote
that means of money goes to the government and no
one knows what happens. But if you stay in a cosa,
which is essentially a b and b uh, that money
go to the community and it helps like build help

(16:12):
them also in those hotels, it might hit you with
that sonic ray. I just heard a really interesting interview
with somebody who's been doing a lot of studies on
loneliness in America and Western culture, but America in particular,
and how much lonelier our culture is than just like
every other culture. Like now that we have all this
technology and stuff, we like, people are reporting It used

(16:35):
to be that you had an average of four to
five close friends, and now modern people report zero close friends.
They're just like, uh, not really like they ask you
to define like like they say, Okay, do you like
have somebody who you can trust with this? Do you
have somebody you can trust with it? And like by
the definition, they're like, oh, you have zero close friends

(16:58):
trust like and yeah they There's a really interesting interview
on uh some podcasts that I'm drawing to blank on
but basically saying that a lot of our health problems,
a lot of our mental health problems are just essentially
the fact that we've cut ourselves off from socializing and
social networks. Um So, I don't know, we'll talk more
about that at a later date, but I'm sure that's

(17:20):
at least partially why people in these other countries that
don't have for G connectivity are actually seem happier than
you might expect. Yeah, we lose our humanity with the
more technology we embrace, right, I think that's just goes
hand in hand. It's crazy how easily they can just
talk to other people right right in American people like
I think I'm gonna call the cops on these black

(17:42):
guys who are sitting down right, That's that's where we're
a I won't even say ship to them. I'm just
kidding you. Know what, I think, I want the police
to talk to that. That's right, she just didn't talk
to because they were sitting there, because she doesn't know
how to talk to people, and we don't know how
to talk to each other. Hey, that brings us to
the modern world, the news of the day. We're trying

(18:04):
to take a sample of the global uh slash national
share consciousness. What people are thinking. You're talking about right now? Uh.
So we want to start out with an image that
went viral yesterday. Stormy Daniels released the police sketch of
the man who threatened her, which I think that was
when she told her story about the guy coming up
and threatening her on sixty minutes she told that story, Uh,

(18:28):
I think everybody was like, oh, well, give us tell
us who that person was, or like, look through all
the pictures in America, let's find this motherfucker in America.
Let's find everyone. Let's look through everybody find them. But
so she did a police sketch with somebody who you know,
police sketches are generally not super well trusted and scientifically

(18:50):
they're not great and sometimes they uh make your memory
of somebody's face less accurate because you're having to like
match are having to go back and forth between your
memory of the thing and then what the drawing looks like,
and it sometimes gets blended other times. Super producer Ana
Josnie was saying that she thinks that sometimes people end

(19:13):
up describing someone who is, you know, familiar to them
and not necessarily the stranger who they're trying to describe.
Which is interesting because so this picture came out, Um,
people were saying young Willem Dafoe, Tom Brady, uh, Starship
Troopers star Casper van Dean, and the puppet from Team

(19:35):
America all blended together. Um, and it really does look
like a blend of all those things. And then this
morning tmz uh posted an article pointing out that, uh,
it's actually just her husband. The drawing is her husband.
It looks almost identical to like her third husband. It's

(19:59):
it's very crazy how much it looks like her husband. Like, oh, yeah,
I mean they may have a point. Also, what a
barber that guy suck? Yeah, his eyebrows are a mess,
but so aggressively trying to be handsome. Yeah, he looks

(20:20):
like mm a Barbie or like like if there was
a m M a toy. That's what he would be anyway.
So yeah, this guy Brendan Miller. Uh I thin guess
that's her husband. Yeah, just like him. Very strange. Uh
this maybe it was maybe it was him though. Yeah.
To be fair to sketch artists, uh and this one
in particular, this one seemed like they're somebody released some

(20:43):
of the drawings this person has done before based on
you know, descriptions, and they're like spot on. So this
is apparently the best sketch artist in America, the Guinness
World Record holder for being the most successful sketch right, which, yeah,
that so great. They found the right person to do
the job. That just seems weird that they looks so

(21:05):
much like. And we'll see if this, you know, ends
up leading to the arrest of the person who threatened
Stormy Daniels because she's saying, you know, I got a
hundred thirty one thousand dollars for the person who can
identify this person, which is funny because hundred thirty is
what Michael Cohen offered her to stf you. Uh, so
you know, she's you know, kind of taking a shot

(21:25):
at him. She had a whole nine hundred and nine
thousand more than her hundred more whoa do math, math class?
Take a seat art schools. I barely went to morning.
I was I was rehearsing for cats. But but that
brings up Michael Cohen, because yesterday I was reading this

(21:46):
thing about how just like how even shadier this dude
looks like when you really sort of look at his neighborhood,
where he's from, his family, so everyone knows he's friends
with Felix Sayer, who's like a lot of people are
saying like he might be his connection to Russia or whatever,
because that guy, Felix Sater, his dad was like a
coppo in a organized crime syndicate that was considered to

(22:07):
be one of Russia's largest um And then we find
out that his uncle owned a Brooklyn social club which
was a well known meeting spot for members of both
the Italian and Russian UH mafia. So in like the
seventies and eighties, and then they're saying, up until the nineties,
it was considered some people, I think, I guess some
people law enforcement, we're considering it the sort of headquarters

(22:29):
where the Russian mafia literally ran their entire crime organization
out of UH. And that's like a place that Michael
Collins family owns. It's like he owned Bada Bing essentially
basically it's called the elbe uh. And so it's it's
just it's just interesting to look at. I guess the
more you know, I think we're starting to see this pattern.
I think we're talking about it yesterday about how this
is just sort of like just the the doufy ist

(22:52):
h white people mafia ever of like just really inept criminals.
Uh and and now we're seeing like that's the world.
Michael Colin also grew up in like where his uncle
owned a mob hang out, so of course he's probably
gonna be had that mindset a little bit. I mean,
if you hear him talk once, it almost like just
the mafia is just pouring off of him, Like you

(23:14):
just feel like, Okay, this guy's out of central casting
for mafiosa. Right. Uh. Yeah, so it's not overly surprising.
And also the fact that he like threatens to do
physical harm to people on a regular basis, Yeah, I
don't think that's part of your law school training, right.
I don't know, it feels like it might be like
one of those night class electives. But I guess, like

(23:36):
I don't know. If you're screaming that you'll fuck someone's
soul over the phone, is like, I don't know what,
I don't know. That really feels like something they teach him,
like Harvard Law, and well he did not go there.
I think he went to the clown School of Law
or whatever the place what I do to he was
going to be disgusting, Yeah, wasn't he Wasn't he like
a big personal injury lawyer. Yeah. So basically he made

(23:57):
an entire he built himself on having like those commerced
l booth you in accident. Thanks to Michael Cohen, I
got three million dollars. All right, we're gonna take a
quick break. We'll be right back. And we're back, and

(24:23):
we are having sort of an extended tax day today,
which everybody wants to talk about. People love talking about taxes. Uh.
But yeah, so the I R. S website crashed yesterday,
so they extended it for I think today, just today,
maybe today or maybe I know. They definitely had to
extend it because they're like, hey, sorry, y'all crashed our

(24:45):
website because who knows. Of course it crashed on tax day,
but doing your taxes, getting your taxes in as a
big serious deal in America, and Miles you were pointing
out that that's not really the case anywhere. Okay, imagine
and everyone has done taxes in this room, and they're confusing,
and most of the time you have to consult a

(25:05):
person at H and R Block, an accountant, or use
turbo tax. And because the ship is so complicated, and
the reason is so complicated is because tax prepares lobby
the government regularly to keep the tax code as confusing
as fucking possible. So our only option is to go
to these places. Okay, there's an H and R Block lobby, yes,

(25:26):
oh yeah, big so yeah, there is such a thing
as big tax now, so into it. Who makes turbo tax?
They spend two million dollars on ship, Like basically they
do not want to simplify the tax code like outright,
Like that's in lobbying documents that that is what they're
stated purposes for their lobbying efforts. So when you look
at other countries like Denmark or Sweden, or Spain or Japan,

(25:49):
they already have systems in place where the government like
sends you a prepared return, they estimate your taxes using
information your employer and the bank already have because obviously
they know everything that the acts, like the institutions of
these countries. You know, in the UK, most people don't
follow returns, like the government will calculate your liability or
your refund and send you a check or a bill
unless you're self employed. Now in my other homeland, Japan,

(26:13):
very simple system, okay, So the Japanese version of the
I r S, which is the cocos. So they gather
all the pertinent data for each work or their income,
taxable benefits, number of personal exemptions, tax with held and
so on, and they compute how much taxpayer ohs down
to the fucking last penny, the last yen. And they
have precision withholding, so like they know exactly how to

(26:34):
calculate everything, and they'll just send you a postcard just
telling you, hey, this is what you made, this is
your refund amount, or this is what we're actually gonna
have to take out because you underpaid your taxes, and
we can just take that out of your account and boom,
you're done. That tell us how much we are Just
tell us why do I have to tell you? Why
am I paying somebody to tell me how much to

(26:55):
pay you the funk is this it made in addition
to the like turbo tax is of the world. I
bet it has something to do with the fact that
really really rich people can pay other can pay like
attorneys and you know, accountants to find ways to get
them to like not pay tax. Of course, yeah, because

(27:15):
the thing is so fucking complicated. Yeah, then you need
someone because also, let's be real, tax preparation services are
like they're in an existential crisis because algorithms and ship,
like the need to go to a human at an
H and R block is becoming like that business is shrinking,
which is why they had to get into like the
turbo tax game of offering ship like H and R
block at home or I think is whatever they're do

(27:36):
it yourself website services. So they're like up against it.
So it behooves them to make ship as complicated as possible.
Now we are trying to change ship. Elizabeth Warren introduced
a bill last year that would completely simplify the tax
code and make it easier for people to just have
Uncle Sam just send you the bill or be like, hey, brother,
you getting this refund um. And also it'll cut down

(27:59):
on so much eating up productivity for human beings and
save a lot of money in the long run if
you do ship like this. But again, when you got
people putting money at this thing to make it as
complicated as possible, we have this same thing year after
year after year. I feel like these stories come out
all the time where we're just talking about why can't
our tax would be more simple? Here's why uh, And
like the people who are arguing for keeping it as

(28:20):
complicated saying, well, we don't want to extend the reach
of the government. You don't want them doing your taxes,
Like can you really trust the I R S to
tell you what they're gonna do? Well, all of these
programs are voluntary, so even if the thing you got
from the government you didn't agree with, you can opt
out of it and do it yourself, or you can
be like, Okay, that looks cool, Yeah I'm with that. Again.
It's just a headache because it's one of those things

(28:40):
where most people in other countries are like what you'll
have to walk you do a what box full of
receipts and like panic over what kind of food you
can write off as an entertainment expense or whatever. It's
just it's crazy. You can tell that it's a good
idea to simplify the taxes, because when the Republicans introduced
their tax cuts, they claimed that they were making it

(29:02):
so that you could just file your taxes on one
side of a postcard. So like when they're lying about
having a good idea, even though they don't have it,
you can tell that that's right, probably worth looking into.
Obviously they're not going to do anything with it. But
I love tax time, isn't it the Oh, it's my favorite.

(29:22):
Are you to do a lot of tin works? I
take way less exemptions than I should, and so it's
kind of like a savings account and I get a
return every year, and then I buy something dumb year
a computer. Oh, you idiot, fool, you fool. Don't do
the pointing and the clicking. Well, I hope it's a

(29:45):
nice computer. Thank you so much. Okay, well there's hit
a nice computer. Yes, okay, that's part of why it
was dumb. Like you only do two things. Yeah, it's
like you don't need any on gaming tower? Needed the
gaming tower? I need the graphics card. How am I
going to watch two Ford music video clips? And New
Kis on the block. So we talked yesterday about the

(30:08):
fact that there is some tension going on in the
executive branch. The president and his cabinet are sort of
not agreeing on sanctions over Russia. In the aftermath of
the assassination of the former Russian spy, America punished Russia
a little more forcefully than the UK and France, and

(30:32):
when Trump found out about that, he was very mad.
We talked about this yesterday, just an update. So they
threw Nicki Haley under the bus. They were like, when
she said that we were doing these sanctions, she was confused.
So yesterday Nikki Haley just straight up said in public,
I don't get confused. She was just like, I don't

(30:54):
like her politics sometimes, but I like this. I like
that a lot and cudd love. The guy who said
that she got confused came out and was like, oh, yeah,
sorry that, I'm so sorry. She would never be confused.
I was actually confused. I'm actually I'm a nobody. That's
also such like a a loose thing to say about
a person or do they were confused, and to just

(31:16):
say about yourself I do that is not an option
in my brain. I never get I go right or
left right, There is no there is no no confusing down.
That was not part of my operating system. But yeah,
I think it's also the first time I've heard anyone
from the administration be like, oh, that was a mistake.
I shouldn't have said that, right, Like not even when

(31:37):
John Kelly saying like crazy ship like, oh, slavery was
the best time in America because families were together. Excuse me,
how's that now? Yeah, he's not like, yeah, I shouldn't
have You're right, Like, that's just sort of sounds like
a foreign language to me when I hear that. Also
on this front, there was legislation that we had talked
about last week that was supposedly had bipartisans report to

(32:01):
protect the Mueller investigation that has officially been killed obviously
too much crying up. I was all wet when I
hear bipartisan support. Who I get going, you know what
I mean, I'm just like, let's get ready, um, and
then it goes away, and because just goes just the

(32:23):
mention of Mitch McConnell, Yeah, I like, yeah, he's uh,
he won't do it, But I Chuck Grassley, I think
it's just like I don't give a funk. We're gonna
we're gonna move this thing out of committee and he
will still take a vote on it. I mean sure,
but that means fun all if right, it's not getting
done without me. But so you have a theory about

(32:44):
where things are going to go next? How I have
a theory based on watching the news right, Uh, which
news I can't but let's be h, only watch the
Girbel's network. So right now, people like Devin noon Is,
Bob good Lot, and Trey Goudy, the three horsemen of Focoury,
are asking Rod Rosenstein for like unredacted versions of James

(33:07):
Comby's contemporaneous memos that he was taking when he was
talking to Trump, because they're like, oh, we're gonna have
need to look at that, Like there's there's stuff in
there that the dossier made of. It's all like, it's
all confusion, It makes no sense. They keep man. Devin
Is on handity just couldn't stop talking about the fucking
dossier and then somehow remembering that he basically needed to
create a false conflict with Rod Rosenstein to begin this

(33:28):
new attack on him. So what it looks like is
they're asking for these notes. The Justice Department is like,
you're asking for evidence in an active investigation, Like that's
kind of weird, like it's open. So they're sort of like,
what do we say here is the only one that
can do that? Well, I mean like, obviously that's evidence
that he is looking at that Robert Mueller is too.
But the Congress is saying, you know, because we have

(33:49):
oversight on things like this, we also want to be
a party to looking at this evidence. And they're like,
it's not really the law works, but they know that
because all they want is to be able to say
we asked Rod Rosenstein to look at these things and
he said no, he's still wilding on us, and this
could be contempt of Congress or whatever. And I think
it's clearly again whenever they can try and drum up

(34:10):
some kind of fake gas conflict, I think that maybe
that's where this is headed, because they definitely took the
rounds yesterday of talking and be like, well, we're trying
to get these notes and we'll see these memos, we'll
see what happens, and setting him up for a conflict.
It's like I asked him to do an impossible thing
that he was supposed to give them yesterday. Rod Rosenstein
had a deadline of yesterday, and he said, I need

(34:30):
an extension because he's trying to figure out. He's like, Okay,
we gotta huddle up. What the fund are they trying
to do asking us for this? Uh so, I mean
it's a small thing that could turn into a big thing.
But just keep a lookout if you hear those three
dummies trying to be like, Oh, he's so uncooperative, I
don't know what to do. Maybe he needs to be
fired type. I wish under oath started when they started working, right,

(34:53):
just they were always under oath and we could arrest
them for being such lying. I just don't understand how
lying is just totally above board, right what. Yeah, it's
a many sided complex thing where you have people on
the left who try to not lie and then that
doesn't really work for them all the time, and then
you have on the right people love to lie. They

(35:14):
don't give a fuck, and I mean a lot of
time they're getting what they want. Yeah, I don't know,
it's I wish I just knew. I wish someone was like, oh, like, yeah,
you could play by the rules and you'll do okay
or could lie zero the fun you want? Absolutely nothing
wrong with Yeah, I mean a whole either way, left

(35:35):
or right. It's all lies to me. Everyone is obviously
going to push their version of the reality that they
want people to believe in. Uh, and it's up to
us to kind of use our own sound minds to
look at it and be like this seems motivated in
a weird word right on either side, Yeah, we are
up sound mind. Bright Bart has been emailing me. I

(35:58):
signed up for their email and a new letter. So
that's probably why he's an ally in the fight against
the white genocide, right exactly. But I like to keep
an eye on what what they're doing, what they're telling
their fans and uh so their latest pursuit, uh, they
are asking their fans to write to Congress and tell

(36:19):
them that conservative speech is not hate speech. So this
thing that we pointed out last week where Ted Cruz
was asking Mark Zuckerberg why he was shutting down Diamond
and Silk, Diamond and Silk, and Mark Zuckerberg for some
reason didn't know that they hadn't done that, and that
was actually uh, diamond and Silk misunderstanding a like form

(36:42):
email that they had received. So this is a thing
that they're really trying to push on, is the idea that, uh,
people are conflating conservative speech with hate speech. And I
think the reason they're doing that is because, uh, they
are hate speech. What are you gonna say, because I

(37:03):
would they hate speech. Yeah, they don't want to be
shut down, like you need to have your speech police
when you are saying things that are you know, riling
up hate and racism and people. Uh, and that has
become a mainstream, like a big part of the conservative agenda.

(37:23):
So yes, policing people's language for actual like hate and
violence and incitement of violence is a thing that needs
to happen. But they're not going to there, like it's
not hate speeches, dog listling it is dangerous to them.
But yeah, wait, so how are they even phrasing it?
In this email? They're like, are we we have a

(37:44):
war that we have to fight? Yeah, tell Congress Collen,
conservative speeches not hate speech. After weeks of dodging answers,
they talk about the Zuckerberg thing, Uh, and then they
say for years, companies like Google and Facebook have been banning, blocking,
and censoring any thing that goes against their worldview. That
fucking fallacy is so tired to me when they talk

(38:06):
that dumb shit. It's funny how they're only outraged when
a person on the right is being told like they
shouldn't just spread anti Semitic bullshit or islamophobic nonsense. They're like, oh,
that's you're censering my hate speech. But when fucking swastikas
and nooses show up places and I don't see that
ship on Fox News, they're not concerned with hate speech
in any form anyway. Like, so it's they have this,

(38:28):
It's just fucking yeah, they're trying to hide hide the
idea that it's actually a problem, so they would never
tell you about, you know, swastikas or news is um
and I think this is actually a bigger problem for
liberals than people are acknowledging or realizing. In the Comy interview,
Blitz he acknowledged that the whole reason that he basically

(38:51):
tipped the election in Trump's favor was he was concerned
of being seen as having a liberal bias by not
releasing the fact that they were reopening the investigation into
Hillary Clinton's email. Um. He was just concerned about being
seen as having a liberal bias, and Comey's fairness goes
too far right, you know what I mean, Like he

(39:12):
hits fair and then he's like, let me just show
everyone how fair is really done right exactly. And Obama too,
he didn't want to say that because he thought it
was gonna look crazy if he's the one telling people, hey,
you might want to look out for this Russia ship
or whatever. He was very sensitive that he didn't want
to appear that way. And it's just crazy because this
is like when facts are facts, right left or right,

(39:33):
we just have to accept them. Yeah, and I understand
the Russia investigation there was less to actually go out
with because it was such a sort of ongoing thing
and confidential thing that publicizing it could have been problematic.
But you know, you don't need to tell the world
that you're going to spend the next three days looking
into whether there might even be a chance that Hillary

(39:56):
did something wrong, like six days before the election. But
in his mind it was like, if he didn't do that,
he was having a liberal bias. So they're constantly shifting
the grounds on which we're having these discussions. And it's
also you know, Facebook is not an inherently conservative platform.

(40:17):
But they were incredibly helpful to the conservative cause during
the two thousand and sixteen election because they were concerned
about there were people hammering them right at the beginning
of the two thousand sixteen election about having a liberal
bias and about like wanting to help Hillary and having
helped Obama. And I just think that that's something that
the left really needs to grapple with, is allowing the

(40:41):
right to sort of set the different goal lines on which,
like we have these conversations. I mean, I think as
dismissive as the right is about their own hypocrisy, I
think on the left you just have to be just
as dismissive of these like just bullshit claims of being
censored or whatever, Like you're just saying that ship that
is not true. You're saying that to convince yourself that
you are not actually saying some dumb, inaccurate, hateful ship

(41:04):
or whatever. And in the past, I think because the
left hasn't had a voice because The New York Times
was completely subject to this criticism of you know, well,
now you're being biased, so they couldn't come out like
the New York Times has this thing where they have
to tell both sides of the story. You know, they're
objective journalists, so they know the rights. Fox News and

(41:27):
the left didn't really have anything even though people were
saying that the truth has a liberal bias. I guess,
but I do think things like crooked media and just
the podcasting landscape in general is going to be helpful
for just constantly resetting. Okay, here's what they're saying, has
a you know, is a liberal bias, but it's not

(41:47):
actually living And I guess the thing is too. As
much as they want to say, well, you know, conservative
speech is in hate speech, will look at the kind
of media that people who are acting out hate crimes.
Where are they getting their rocks off? From a media standpoint,
What Twitter accounts do they visit, What websites do they visit?
And you know, recently like Ben Shapiro, who's just a
fucking loser, has been attacking emails from that guy. Did

(42:10):
you get emails from that guy? You get what are
you trying to say? What? I don't know? I think
ever open that. Yeah, but he's been attacking one of
our friends on Twitter, but not attacking her, but just
being like, well, look at this guys like retweeting her
and then just letting his like, right, So this guy

(42:31):
in in uh in Montreal, I think right, it was
in Quebec, Like at the beginning of last year, this
man shot a bunch of people at a mosque and
killed six people. And during the trial they started doing
some forensic research on his like sort of activity on
the internet in the weeks media diet. Yeah, before the attack,
this guy checked the Twitter feeds of just all the

(42:52):
top right wing American commentators as well as conspiracy theorists
all right, white supremacist, neo not like all of it,
Like we was checking out Ben Shapiro and fucking even
Tucker Carlson, Richard Spencer and culture Mike Sernovich, Alex Jones,
Like what's crazy is this happening in Canada? But these
people are tuning into our crazy ass fucking hate talk
to get them all pumped up. And again, this is

(43:14):
an example of ship that you want to hide behind
the description of it being conservative, but it shouldn't even
be a discussion of what these people are saying. And
they can hide behind the ambiguity of their language all
they want to, but it's very clear what kind of
agenda they're pushing. And then very easy for them be like, well, look,
I didn't say that explicitly, and that's not fair to
paint me with that because that person had just happened

(43:35):
to like what I was saying. But I mean, at
some point we have to acknowledge the overlap with these
kinds of things. Well, I wish we could have that conversation,
but we can't because of the because of the veil
of hate speech and calling it conservative. But like when
people were coming out or they still are, but people
are coming at Roseanne right and they're like that show
shouldn't be allowed to be on the air. But it's

(43:57):
the same thing as like you subscribing to the Bright
part emails. It's like it's kind of good to get
that sensibility. And what they're doing is they're having those
debates that we're having a Thanksgiving, they're having them on TV,
so like we're all hearing both sides, and like, I
think whoever Rosanne is right now can be problematic on
its own, but I do think there's value to getting

(44:20):
that point of view on TV in a way that's
like controlled, you know what I mean. Like, at the
end of the day, you have like liberal ABC essentially
having a leash on all of it. Well, right, And
I think it is valid for people to understand if
you're you have anti immigrant sensibility in terms of your politics,
if you can describe that in a way that is

(44:41):
devoid of well, I don't want rapists and murderers to
come into my neighborhood. That's different than saying I'm worried
about like, if you have economic reasons, then sure you
should be able to talk that up. But the fact
is a lot of that xenophobia can be debunked, like
especially the arguments that they have by a lot of
studies and data and things like that. So yes, I

(45:01):
think it is important because conservatives just used to be like, well,
I think we're spending too much money on these programs
or whatever, and now it's turning into look at these
lazy people on welfare. They should be drug tested right
before they can get any kind of benefits. They should
blah blah blah, and like that's where you can tell
that there is clearly a tinge of some other. It's
not about exactly just saving money. It's about disenfranchising people

(45:23):
and pulling out safety nets for certain people because they
don't look like and there's always been a tinge like
Reagan was continged to death, but yeah, I mean that
should have become way more mainstream. And yeah, I think
that's a good point. We'll stop treating conservative speech like
hates between you take the hatred out of the conservative platform. Well,

(45:43):
I feel like as a Latina where I'm like well
aware of the fact that I'm part of what's about
to become like the biggest voting group, and I think,
like conservatives and everyone, honestly it's like terrified of that,
terrified of full on losing the majority already. And so
you know, if we make you scared to even show

(46:03):
up at the voting booth, right, then you won't, right.
And that's why they've done so much to redistrict and
gerrymander and suppress votes, because that's the only way they
can fight off something that is a mathematical advantage. Uh yeah,
And so yeah, you might as well just double down
on being like, well, then maybe we can just get
white people to be more aggressively about their own identities

(46:25):
to get them to vote for us at the poll.
I mean, when they're not going to win any people
of color, when they sat back and looked at the demographics.
They were like, Okay, we need to change our platform
and just make our focus outreach to the Latin American
community and you know, immigrant community. How do you think
that worked in two thousands sixteen? Do you feel like
they did a good job? And think about Latinos can

(46:47):
be very we are white. Latinos can be very very like,
you know what, we just came here for the opportunities.
We don't want any trouble. Like, if you want us
to be white, that's fine. Um, we would per for
it in many scenarios. But I think a lot of
Latinos actually put ownership on being anti immigrant and being

(47:09):
like they vote against their own interests. Yeah, I think
that's human nature. I think especially for to is to assimilate,
and if part of assimilating is like taking on sort
of like political position, then so be it. YEA. Yeah. Well,
when I went to a Trump rally to hang out
with my friends in May of that was a joke.
I was doing a piece where I was trying to

(47:30):
understand Trump voters. I saw many Mexican American people that
were from Orange County that were there, and they had
the same thing. They were like well, you know what,
my family came here legally, and I don't think it's
fair that blah blah blah. And that's like I heard
that a lot more than anything. And even many immigrants,
not just people from Mexico or Guatemala and anything. There
were Asian people that were doing it. There was a

(47:50):
group of Chinese people that were there saying, you know, man,
that internalized racism. Man, I think it's a fear. I
think it's fear of like I'm so lucky that this
country made room for me, but clearly there isn't enough
room for all of us. So you guys were just late,
like I can't. Yeah, my grandparents voted for Trump, and
it's like I tried to understand that there's literally a

(48:12):
language barrier, like they like don't speak English. And it's
like even more that, wait, what where are they from
Puerto Rico? Wow? How do they feel even with all
the ship that went down on the hurricane, do they
feel are they angered by that? In their response, I
think my grandma's very like like I'm not there anymore, yeah,

(48:33):
out of mind, kind of like you know, there's a
reason I left, and there's a lot of that there's
a lot of that with Latinos. There's a lot of infighting,
there's a lot of self loathing, but it all comes
out like this, like I'm just going to vote for
Trump so nobody else can come and do what I did,
and and it gets weird or yeah, if you live
in fear of conservative white people, you'll adopt their mannerisms.

(48:55):
It should be like, no, I'm one of the good ones,
so please don't harm me because is I'm actually falling
in line with what you believe. And then like you'd
be like Diamond and Silk, where Ted Cruiz will be like,
now look at these the women of color that you
are blah blah blah. It's like, shut the funk up, brother,
this is not real. Hey, thank you, my man. I'm
working on. I'm working on us even speak Spanish because

(49:18):
our parents were so scared that we would like have
accents and couldn't pull off being like I look white
and that was cool for them. They were like, no,
like gret she won't have to deal with any real weird,
real weird racist ship because you could pass for white, right.
I have given two full barbaros to this conversation. Yeah,

(49:39):
you could pass. Oh my god, you have barbaros jokes too.
Oh my god, Oh my god. Me and my brother
will not stop with Michael. It's Michael Miles, It's Michael.
It always sounds like it's about to week and by
pass for white, you mean, all right, we're gonna take

(50:01):
a quick break. We'll be right back. And we're back,
and we wanted to talk about a couple of women
icons of Cardi B. Out has apparently become a pro

(50:23):
life Yes, Cardi b is a pro life icon right now,
She's never said anything even remotely close about being anti
abortion anyway. However, this is the great part that basically,
I think Ben Shapiro again he comes up again. He
found a clip of Cardi B on the Breakfast Club

(50:43):
talking to Charlemagne about why she's like wanted to have
her kid. Uh and because she basically said, she's like,
I'm twenty five years old, I'm a ch millionaire. Yes
that's a quote. Uh, you know what I'm saying, I'm
prepared for this. In other words, you know, she was like,
I'm looking at my life situation. I can handle a child.
I'm choosing to have my child. Uh. You know. Then
she went on to talk about. She's like, you know,

(51:03):
a lot of women were coming up to me saying, Oh,
I feel sorry for you. Your career is over, And
Cardi B says, just like, why can't I have both?
Why do I have to choose a career or a baby?
And she said, I want my kid now. So a
lot of people have been like gathering these quotes to
be like, listen to her go up against the feminist idea.
This is what faith Wire said in an argument about this.
They said, does it Cardi B. Quote doesn't believe in

(51:25):
the feminist idea of not being able to be both
pregnant and successful. Yes, right, that's that's what feminism is.
She couldn't be more pro choice in this scenario. She's
spelling out that she thought about it and chose to
have a child, have the child knowing there was another option. Yes, exactly,

(51:46):
she had a choice. It sounds like wait a second, now,
I don't know, I don't know. I might be high,
we might just be high. I don't know if maybe
there was a choice, I don't know. But yeah, it's
just funny again how there's such a lack of couple
of people on that side that they were like, oh, well,
Cardi B had a child, so she's a pro life icon. Like, yeah,

(52:07):
it's any woman who doesn't abort the baby is pro life.
Did you know that I did? Every mother, every mother
in the world, every mother is pro life coming at you.
So okay, well, you know Cardi is having a big
week so she can throw a pro life icon on
her list of achievements. It is kind of sad, like
for the bench Shapiroes of the world, who's a small, tiny,

(52:28):
tiny man both in stature and just as a person.
Uh but yeah, that that they are struggling that much
to have people actually making their viewpoints relevant, right, they
are on board with a dying point of view. It's
just funny because they just basically, hey, fellow kids, the

(52:51):
whole pro life things, like, hey, fellow kids, you know
that card I B that you like, Right, she's a
Bodak bother. I don't know, she's Bantai abortion. It's like,
so fucking wag them up, man, get the funk out
of her fucking lane. Obviously, Rihanna is pro choice because

(53:14):
she named her album anti, So thank you so much. There. Um.
We also just wanted to talk about Barbara Bush, who
passed yesterday. Who you know, I guess just based on
her appearance, I had always sort of associated her with
a kind lady um. And I do remember in two

(53:36):
thousand five, while visiting victims of Hurricane Katrina at the
Astro Dome, her saying some wildly problematic shit about how
like because they're underprivileged anyway, this is working quote very
well for them, um, which The New York Times, by
the way, described as her candor sometimes got her in trouble.

(53:57):
That's not candor, that is just being a fucking classist,
racist loon. Um. But that's not the point, right. I
do want to also focus on the fact that, yeah,
you know, she was also just kind of a hard
ass badass. Like I assumed that her obituaries would not

(54:18):
be the most interesting obituaries to read, and like she
was actually crazy interesting. And like there are these quotes
from her childhood friends who would say that they would
come on the school bus in the morning and they say, quote,
it would be all planned, nobody's going to talk to
June this morning. You'd sit there on the bus with
your friends and no one spoke to you. It was
a dreadful feeling. So Barbara was coming on the bus

(54:40):
and being like, you're not talking to her. You're not
talking to her, you're talking to me. This excommunicating out here.
So that's one one of her friends, just like real
housewiving right in the just like world class like legendary
mean girl. Uh. And then another childhood friend is giving
a high pathetical scenario and she said she'd call ahead

(55:02):
and say, we're not going to speak to June this morning,
so again they can June. Man, two different people, two
different people are talking about how she froze this girl
June out when she was like a child. What did
June do? Yeah, And she would also, like me, probably
wore pink on a Wednesday, right, she wore white after

(55:23):
Labor Day, so she can get the funk. She would
make fun of her friends for like stammering or you know,
oh no she was today today. Yeah, um damn. She's
like the originator of all this cool original Billy Madison. Right.
In reading her obituary, you really get the sense that

(55:43):
she was sort of the brains and the balls behind
the operation, like behind their couple like that. It's just
interesting that, uh, you know. There's also a quote in
one of the obituaries where someone says, people always said
Nancy Reagan would kill you if you said bad stuff
about her, says one staff aide who worked closely with
the Bushes. But I always thought Mrs Bush was the

(56:05):
one who would kill you, um, which I don't know.
I well, I didn't know that about Nancy Reagan either.
I just think it's interesting to like we should take
a look back at first ladies who were you know,
like this, who were just you know, it was at
a time when a lot of like brilliant and really

(56:26):
tough women had to sort of sublimate themselves to their
husband's careers. And like, I really feel like in a
lot of cases you'll find that it was basically the
women like who are calling the shots, like because Reagan
did not seem like a very tough person, but apparently
Nancy was just like not fucking around. But it's also
that thing of like the husband and the wife could

(56:47):
have the same exact behavior, and the woman's would be
much more received as hostile, where the man's would be
received as like tough boy, does he get it right? Right? Know?
And so like I always wonder in scenarios where we
are talking about it like that how much of it
was was that how much of it was just a

(57:08):
woman saying things right? I mean she had full right
to to maybe say yeah, no, I totally like I'm
saying that, I fucking respect this, like I I think
it's awesome because people have like genuine affection for her,
but also seemed to be terrified of her, like yeah,
and like when then when you look at like what
their depictions are descriptions of her childhood time too was

(57:30):
even like you know, she basically told everybody she ran
ship from Jump Street if it was the school bus,
she fucking ran who even spoke to whom you know
what I mean? And then taking shots at uh, who's
at Geraldine Ferraro she referred to as quote that four
million dollar I can't say it, but it rhymes with rich.
And then everyone's like, so she referred to this person

(57:52):
as a four million dollar bitch, just like that was
her nickname. But then she knew the optics that she
was like the description of this right of her, like
she was mortified that she had, let's slip the mask
that had concealed the mean streak that had first emerged
in her childhood. She immediately apologized to Ferraro and kept
her salty tongue in place for years afterward. So I
don't know if the salty tongue thing is after Do

(58:13):
you remember when Jeb was about to run and or
like was running and um, there was a sound bite
of her going like, I don't know, there's got to
be another family that should be doing this right Like
she was essentially like I don't it can't just be
two families that we're just going to keep going back
and forth. And then she got in trouble. They were like, yeah, yeah,

(58:37):
that's why I feel like I bet yo. Those Bush children,
the sons of George H. W. Bush, we're probably so
shook of their mother, like if that's her description, because
if you look at Jeb and g W, they're like, well,
like as if their mom would be like, is your
finger painting? Are you a fucking dumb fuck? That's weird?

(58:57):
It looks like a fucking toe painting on the track. Jeb,
what a fucking name? Huh? I'm sorry, ladies, he's an
idiot and it was Jeff. But I want you to
be embarrassed the rest of your life, you, Jeb? But
uh is that sure for Jebediah Oh. Apparently, according to

(59:19):
the super producer on a Hosnier, Jeb is not sure
for Jebediah it is an acronym for his full name,
which is John Ellis Bush Sr. Or because you know why,
because John was probably like Barbara's father, and she's like,
he would be disappointed in your Jeb funk out of here, John,
I can't even I can hear my father's earned rattling.

(59:41):
So uh yeah, I mean, look, you know you were
clearly the matriarch of a dynastic political family. Uh so,
you know, shots to you. You know, it's never it's
never nice. You never want to hear about anyone passing away.
But it seemed like she did it on her terms too,
because she, I think, refused to have any more life
saving procedures over the weekend. They reported, so and just

(01:00:03):
real quick, right before I die, nobody talked to June. Yeah, right,
and talk to June. June. I know you showed up.
We are not talked like she's like wiping her head
with a wash cloth and she's like, who let this
bitch in here? June? The police to dollar bitch, Marlene,

called Dark and that'll be on me fourth at the
