Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Beverly
Hills Z eight O two one oh. Courtesy of Johnny Davis.
I'm Jack O'Brien. That smiles Gray. This is what's trending
right now. Hashtag Biden landslide. That is not a natural
disaster as far as I know. I mean, it's uh,
(00:25):
you know, there's polling coming out that he's you know,
has a huge double digit lead over Trump. And I
think a lot of people who are of the mindset
of how these races work are spiking the fucking football
on like the fucking twenty um. So, you know, I
get it. A lot of people who have pointed out
to or they're like, you know, ducocus shot a fucking
(00:48):
huge lead to eight and things like that, But that
was between conventions or whatever. This is prior to everything.
I think the bottom line is, don't don't look at
any of that. It's not relevant. The important thing is
every person has to get out there in this very
narrow context, because I'm not saying that electoralism is the
way to change things in this country, because that's already
(01:09):
proven to not work. So at the very least, everyone's
gonna have to get on their ask to try and
at least delay the spread of fascism in this country
to vote for the stop gap Joe Biden. Yeah, it's
unbelievable that like people are just going through the exact
same process. Like I I remember, like in I just
(01:34):
clung two shows like you know, Keeping It six hundred,
which is what the name of the show was before
Pod Save America, because they just seemed like they knew
what they were talking about, and they were like, there's
no way he's gonna win. It's like no chance he's
like losing all these polls. Uh called you a bedwetther
(01:56):
if you were worried that he was gonna win. That
was like their nickname for people who are concerned that
Trouble's gonna win. And yeah, it just feels it's starting
to feel similar where people are just like, yeah, he's
totally fucked. Well. I think it depends on like that one.
Like for some most people were like, oh, hold on,
let me get out of this, like you know, democratic
(02:17):
echo chamber where the same people who are giving you
the punditry are the same people who are part of
the machine, who are the same people who have been
thinking the same way for the last few decades on
how to consolidate and keep power. So some of those
takes ended up being like, oh, right, because this never
accounted for the fact that there are like actually a
large group of angry, poor, racist white people too, rather
(02:40):
than like, yeah, but we vote we had Obama for
I think a lot of people like we had like
a lot of people were taking this as like this
post racial thing, and yeah, certain group went, oh that's right,
we still have to fucking make sure racists go back
into their hidy holes. Yeah, amad are very is trending.
Uh because a Georgia grand Y indicted the three men
(03:02):
who murdered him in connection with his murder. Yeah, I
guess they were charged with murder. Yeah great, Yeah, justice
keep it going, fantastic. Let's keep it going. Now, get
justice for Elijah McClain and all the countless others that
we're going to have to keep remembering because there are still,
(03:23):
you know, there are still these horrific cases of police
brutality or in this case, this was just you know,
racist lynch mob that just did their own thing. But
we're having these examples where black people are still considered
threats and their bodies are disposable, so you know that
that rest can't continue. Although it is disheartening to see
a lot of things go back to normal in a sense,
(03:45):
like in terms of like the discussions people are having.
But I think that's why it's important for people of
good conscience to remember that this is not like, this
is far from over. Yeah, can't be over. Yeah, I
I just know that there have been other cases of
I guess this isn't police brutality, but it seems like
it was similar in the sense that these guys were
(04:06):
in cahoots with the local you know, law enforcement people community,
and they got away with it for months, weren't even
like really investigated for months. I just worry that, you know,
it's I'm not I'm not gonna feel anything but bad
about that until they are like officially convicted. You know.
(04:30):
French Revolution is trending, and not for the reason you
might expect. Um, what's the reason? Way, what would we
expect that? People? There's like PDFs for how to make
your own guillet guillotine out of stuff you get it lows,
yeah exactly. People just being like, yeah, it's fully French revolution,
the fucking White House. Let's let's do, let's go. But no,
(04:53):
Lindsay Graham has put it out there as like an accusation.
He claimed that, um, the the Democratic Party in New
York and Kentucky, the strong showing of progressive proves that
the Democratic Party is basically the French Revolution now, and
(05:14):
people are confused as to like how what what he what?
What is his criticism saying it's being controlled by the
popular will, sir, do you underdo you know anything about history,
even the history of this country? Right? His tweet is
as follows from at Lindsay's quote. It appears the French
Revolution has now come to the Democratic Party based on
(05:36):
initial primary results from New York and Kentucky. If you
had any doubts about who's in charge of the Democratic Party,
all doubts should have been removed now, okay, Uh. A
lot of people just came in with their very clear takes,
like you know, at Dan Saltstein said, the French Revolution,
you say, in which rising social and economic inequality led
to a democratic overthrow of a monarchy and this establishment
(05:58):
of republic. That French Revolution and the other thing people
were forgetting is they got turned up off of the
American Revolution. Yeah, like they were in partnering. Yeah, they
were like, yo, this was hand in hand the French Enlightenment,
like it's all this was all part of a pattern.
But again, I don't know what this is. I guess
(06:18):
for for a certain subset of Americans who only know
like phrases from history, will just like reduce it to
some weird sentiment that's completely historically and accurate. So like
French Revolution means like poor people are gonna kill the
rich people, like and that's all it means, like if
you have more money than a poor person, you're gonna
(06:38):
get guillotine. Like I think that's the subtext that they
want to send out there. Um, so sure, I don't know.
And French bad, French equal bad for a lot of Republicans,
but um yeah, it's I mean if if if he says, so,
let's let's go. Um And also putting yourself on the
(07:01):
side of the monarchy, very like core American values. I
feel like they've kind of given up on like whatever
they're supposed to be about, like their fetishization of the
Founding Fathers just you know, well that so long as
that stands for taxation and getting rich, all that grandstanding
(07:21):
about patriotism and you know what the values of this country.
I mean, if if you haven't woken up to that
by now, you surely you must know that those were
just buzzwords to try and like obfuscate their racism, you know,
and using these sort of like um, you know, uh,
unencroachable like you would dare not attack the concept of
(07:44):
patriotism or what it means to be an American because
we're using that so you don't actually question the real
motivations behind what we do, which is oppression. But you know,
and I think those are all running, all those defenses
are like losing steam now, so a lot of people
are starting to be like, yeah, that's not really a thing.
But you know, everybody's everybody's waking up at their own pace.
(08:06):
It seems, I mean, I get what he's doing. He's
you know, the the whole Trump strategy right now seems
to be vilifying the protests and you know, making the
uprising as scary as you possibly can and making it
seem like his supporters are in physical danger. Uh. And
(08:28):
we saw that with like the videos that Trump was
sharing of a black man attacking a white man in
a department store. Um, and yeah, it's just that this
is going to be their strategy. It's very similar to
their mid term strategy where they like created you know,
horror uh racism, horror propaganda about people like coming over
(08:55):
the borders. Um, and that's that's what I'm sure what
we're going to see for the next uh, you know,
five months. But the thing is like they're using like
dated language that doesn't even connect with the fucking group
they're talking to. Like Nope, they don't even know what
the French The fucking people, you know, dog whistling shit,
(09:18):
don't even know what the French Revolution means to a
group that's not as intelligent as them. You think that's
gonna get them be like, hold on, honey, did you
hear this ship the French Revolution? The like they don't
know ship? Like I mean, honestly, they did be better
off doing fucking breaking bad metaphors. They're like, Gus Fring
is gonna come to shut your meth operation down, and
(09:40):
you know what, You're going to be chained in his
underground lab cooking him meth. That's what happens when the
Democrats come. I think more people have some kind of
like idea of what that is than things that you know,
but odd oddly enough, like they're missing out on history
that the educational system intentionally like did not do a
good job of informing people on. So now you can't
even did not cover that so much. Yeah, and then finally, uh,
(10:05):
some news is trending right now that California just had
its biggest one day increase in coronavirus cases to date.
So I mean this is just you know, this is
a result of something we've been seeing where we don't
have the data, we don't have the things moving in
in the direction that they that we need them to
(10:25):
move in, and we're yet California business leaders, political leaders
are conspiring to you know, put your life in danger
to uh, you know, just get a sense of like,
you know, it's basically consumption disguised as purpose. Is something
that I saw somebody tweet that I really liked, and
(10:47):
now I forget who it is. Um, but that that
idea that you know, consumption will bring our lives back
to normal, Well, I mean that's because again people are
really be caught up in this cult of consumption and capitalism,
where if your entire worldview is based on this pattern
of working to consume to then signal to other people
(11:09):
that you are what you are based on the things
you're able to purchase as a consumer. Then yeah, I
feel like the only thing they know is to be like,
well normal. Everything that's been defined to me as an
American is that buying shit is being alive. So what
do I do now? It's weird because I even see
lines like out the door for like clothing stores right now,
(11:34):
and like people are social distancing in line, and I'm like,
what I get if you need something for work? But
it looked like a lot of people who just could
not get over their habit of consuming and like the
high of doing that they needed to recapture on some level.
And it was really strange, Like when you see these
(11:55):
lines at places that are not essential businesses, and I
get like, if you want to, you know, get your
hair cot whatever, but it's just another there's another level
when it's something is like hey man, I gotta I
gotta get in this clothing store right now, Like I
just got to, you know, because but you know, people
want to. I think people are also just very deeply
in denial that things could be this out of their
control and the stakes could also be that high. At
(12:18):
the same time, it's it's it's a difficult thing to
have to accept. I'm sure if you're if you've spent
a lot of time thinking you were fucking invincible and
on top all the time. Yeah, we need to I mean,
I think people have already been doing it, but we
need to normalize wearing masks and not let somebody get
away with not wearing a mask when't we see it
(12:38):
that's inexcusable at this point. Well, I've seen these it's
almost always, uh, some white guy between the age of
twenty and sixty walking around without a mask on, and
I just like want and like, what do they think
it makes them different from the other people who have
to wear masks? Do they just people walking around without
(13:02):
mess while while everybody around them is wearing masks? They
think that their immune systems better? Do they think it's
that we're all just it's just such a strange thing
to want to even project even if you weren't worried
about your own safety and the safety of the people
around you, what are you trying to say? Well, I
(13:24):
would argue that the people who are resisting mask wearing
are themselves feel the most powerless, probably when you bring
it down to like that molecular level, because they're in
such deep denial, like in the same way, because you're like,
what would you think because clearly and that person goes,
I'm not going to get sick, or rejects the possibility
(13:45):
that they could get sick, or rejects the possibility that
other people are sick, because that's preserving this idea a.
I feel like, if you're so powerless, this might be
the one thing you can do to feel like you're
in control of your life. If everybody's wearing a mask,
then you've got to fuck that because I'm in control
and I'm out of control and every other way that
I haven't been able to articulate in my own mind,
(14:06):
but I realized this gives me an opportunity to push
back on something, and I can also at the same
time reaffirm my belief that nothing is wrong with anything
right now, because that's also I think the predominant thinking
is nothing is wrong. If you're a young person not
wearing a mask, it's because nothing is wrong. And also
nothing is wrong because it affects people who aren't me,
and so it's all versions of like you know, this
(14:28):
sort of pathology of not accepting that how like sort
of small we are as human beings on the planet,
and that like, yeah, there are some things that like
it it seems wild because you've never experienced anything like this.
That suddenly it gives people probably a moment to be like,
am I part of like an interconnected community where I
might have responsibility for my neighbor based on gonna that
(14:51):
I'm not going to think about that fuck a mask,
Fuck it, I'm going to Mervyn's. I mean I always
talk about how like you know, Harry Potter, The Matrix,
like all these all these movies are about the same thing,
which is uh changing, like basically allowing us to deny
the reality that we are one of you know, seven
(15:15):
billion people on a planet Like that I think is
the one like kind of underlying reality that all of
American culture is meant to disguise from us as like
kind of our insignificance. And so yeah, that that I
think that I think that probably has a lot to
do with them. Yeah, And unfortunately, there are people who
(15:37):
grew up in this country with parents who bought you know,
fucking hook line and sinker the fucking American exceptionalism. That's
just been a myth that's been passed down and passed
down through generations and generations of America has always been
on top. You don't fucking want to live every anywhere else.
These are the same people who will say about a
country they've never heard of that it sounds scary or
(15:59):
it's fucked up, and then blindly say like, I hear
it's really corrupt there and the police are like kidnap people,
and you're like, yeah, right, that's that's just like the
world you're you were you know, spoon fed and didn't
take a second to like just be like hold on.
I know, like on some level, if you're a reasonable
human being and you've just been inundated with this kind
(16:20):
of messaging, there will be a point where we be
like hold on. They're also like everything isn't like a
movie too, like, because in your own life you do
realize these moments where reality hits you and you're like,
oh fuck that I was living in a fairy tale.
The same thing is true about this country and the
culture and what the American empires too. And I think
that's I think that's hard for a lot of people
to even you know, recognize you're telling me, Poka, I've
(16:45):
been wearing them fucking three centuries. Motherfucker. Fuck that great
again funk that you guys might not realize how I
mean that is because because I am wearing and blets
so any on, it's kind of violent. We're at. Shout
out to Daniel for editing out all the Puka show,
(17:08):
quacking together every time I get up to the mic. Um. Anyways, guys, Uh,
be good to each other, be good to yourselves, wash
your hands, wear a fucking mask, um, and yeah, don't
do nothing. Uh. We'll be back tomorrow morning with the
whole last episode of our show and we'll talk to
you them. Bye.

just got to, you know, because but you know, people
want to. I think people are also just very deeply
in denial that things could be this out of their
control and the stakes could also be that high. At
(12:18):
the same time, it's it's it's a difficult thing to
have to accept. I'm sure if you're if you've spent
a lot of time thinking you were fucking invincible and
on top all the time. Yeah, we need to I mean,
I think people have already been doing it, but we
need to normalize wearing masks and not let somebody get
away with not wearing a mask when't we see it
(12:38):
that's inexcusable at this point. Well, I've seen these it's
almost always, uh, some white guy between the age of
twenty and sixty walking around without a mask on, and
I just like want and like, what do they think
it makes them different from the other people who have
to wear masks? Do they just people walking around without
(13:02):
mess while while everybody around them is wearing masks? They
think that their immune systems better? Do they think it's
that we're all just it's just such a strange thing
to want to even project even if you weren't worried
about your own safety and the safety of the people
around you, what are you trying to say? Well, I
(13:24):
would argue that the people who are resisting mask wearing
are themselves feel the most powerless, probably when you bring
it down to like that molecular level, because they're in
such deep denial, like in the same way, because you're like,
what would you think because clearly and that person goes,
I'm not going to get sick, or rejects the possibility
(13:45):
that they could get sick, or rejects the possibility that
other people are sick, because that's preserving this idea a.
I feel like, if you're so powerless, this might be
the one thing you can do to feel like you're
in control of your life. If everybody's wearing a mask,
then you've got to fuck that because I'm in control
and I'm out of control and every other way that
I haven't been able to articulate in my own mind,
(14:06):
but I realized this gives me an opportunity to push
back on something, and I can also at the same
time reaffirm my belief that nothing is wrong with anything
right now, because that's also I think the predominant thinking
is nothing is wrong. If you're a young person not
wearing a mask, it's because nothing is wrong. And also
nothing is wrong because it affects people who aren't me,
and so it's all versions of like you know, this
(14:28):
sort of pathology of not accepting that how like sort
of small we are as human beings on the planet,
and that like, yeah, there are some things that like
it it seems wild because you've never experienced anything like this.
That suddenly it gives people probably a moment to be like,
am I part of like an interconnected community where I
might have responsibility for my neighbor based on gonna that
(14:51):
I'm not going to think about that fuck a mask,
Fuck it, I'm going to Mervyn's. I mean I always
talk about how like you know, Harry Potter, The Matrix,
like all these all these movies are about the same thing,
which is uh changing, like basically allowing us to deny
the reality that we are one of you know, seven
(15:15):
billion people on a planet Like that I think is
the one like kind of underlying reality that all of
American culture is meant to disguise from us as like
kind of our insignificance. And so yeah, that that I
think that I think that probably has a lot to
do with them. Yeah, And unfortunately, there are people who
(15:37):
grew up in this country with parents who bought you know,
fucking hook line and sinker the fucking American exceptionalism. That's
just been a myth that's been passed down and passed
down through generations and generations of America has always been
on top. You don't fucking want to live every anywhere else.
These are the same people who will say about a
country they've never heard of that it sounds scary or
(15:59):
it's fucked up, and then blindly say like, I hear
it's really corrupt there and the police are like kidnap people,
and you're like, yeah, right, that's that's just like the
world you're you were you know, spoon fed and didn't
take a second to like just be like hold on.
I know, like on some level, if you're a reasonable
human being and you've just been inundated with this kind
(16:20):
of messaging, there will be a point where we be
like hold on. They're also like everything isn't like a
movie too, like, because in your own life you do
realize these moments where reality hits you and you're like,
oh fuck that I was living in a fairy tale.
The same thing is true about this country and the
culture and what the American empires too. And I think
that's I think that's hard for a lot of people
to even you know, recognize you're telling me, Poka, I've
(16:45):
been wearing them fucking three centuries. Motherfucker. Fuck that great
again funk that you guys might not realize how I
mean that is because because I am wearing and blets
so any on, it's kind of violent. We're at. Shout
out to Daniel for editing out all the Puka show,
(17:08):
quacking together every time I get up to the mic. Um. Anyways, guys, Uh,
be good to each other, be good to yourselves, wash
your hands, wear a fucking mask, um, and yeah, don't
do nothing. Uh. We'll be back tomorrow morning with the
whole last episode of our show and we'll talk to
you them. Bye.
