Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to Season one, Episode three.
After Daily's Like Guys, yea a production of I Heart Radio.
This is a podcast where we take a deep dive
into America's shared consciousness. It is Wednesday, July. My name
is Jack O'Brien, a k. Jack Chugie wonder Land. He

(00:25):
get it, get wonder Land. Yeah, I wear tight pants
when I start to dance in a Chugi wonder Land,
Jack Chugi wonder Land. That is courtesy of suburban panic
attack and earth winnet fire. And I'm thrilled to be

(00:47):
joined as always by my co host, Mr Miles Gras.
Please get fact in the US, facts in the US,
facts in the US of A just thought of that
right now. And you know what, please get vaccinated. Okay
they're even saying it on Fox News, maybe probably reaching

(01:07):
to the choir on this podcast, but if you please
get the word out to everybody you know, if you can,
you know, it's it's we're starting to see the numbers
and your your shot looks better if you're back to me.
I'm just waiting to see, like what the effects are
you know of of the vaccine. I just want to
make sure you know, maybe give me like a couple
of years just to make sure see see what the

(01:28):
effects are, because like I'm all about the scientific process, bro,
and so like I gotta see you in your scientist. No,
but like I so I saw this thing on Facebook
actually where they were saying that like this girl got
the vaccine and then her heart stopped for like fifteen seconds. Dude,

(01:50):
whoa follow up question? Do you listen to a lot
of Joe Rogan? Oh? Man, you listen to Rogan? Dude
gets poisoned? All right? Bro? Yeah, I guess I am
kind of a scientists when you think about how much
Rogan I've done, like I actually did the math and
the hours of Rogan I've listened to is the equivalent
of a graduate degree. You know, there are there are
people who well Miles, we are thrilled to be joined

(02:16):
in our third seat by the very talented hip hop
artist and host of the podcast Waiting on Reparations, who,
at the age of twenty six, ran four and was
elected Athens Clark County Commissioner in Athens, Georgia. She took
the oath of office with her hand on a copy
of the autobiography of Malcolm X. She's a community organizer

(02:39):
and a PhD candidate and linguistics at the University of Georgia,
where she also finds time to be a graduate teaching assistant.
Uh who please welcome Mariah Parker A k lingua franca.
What's good? It's not gonna be back, Yo, it's so
funny hearing all my titles and things for you, I

(02:59):
feel just listening to them, and I didn't I do
the things. Yeah, it's really not all. It's probably not
all like that. It's not it's not that cools, you know, Okay, humble, okay,
kend I don't. I don't believe that. You don't think
it's that cool. It's pretty cool. It's funny. Got a

(03:19):
lot done? How much longer do you get your do
we call you doctor? Well? What's funny is so I
was supposed to graduate in August, and this is new
since the last time I was on the show. I'm
having a baby. It's a month in fact, and so
of finishing my insertation over the last eight months didn't happen.

(03:43):
So we don't. We gonna get out of school. When
we get out of school, I don't even more. Okay,
but yeah, so yeah, life comes at your best. Suddenly
I'm like, yeah, how's it? Like, Oh, I'm about to
be a mother. Oh yeah, that's what's Wow, it's been
that long, it's been that in this whole time. You're

(04:06):
gonna come back. You're like, oh, yeah, I'm a mom
now that the resume was congratulations, congratulations, thank you very much.
What's what's good Athens? How everything down there? The verdant
greens of the many walking trails. One thing in the
city government we do really well. You know, we might

(04:29):
be struggling up against Brian Kemp in the state law
a lot, but we build some beautiful parks out here.
Plenty of open natural spaces for the people to rewand unwind,
rewind if they want, if they need to reflect on
their lives frequently and get some sunshine. What's the best

(04:50):
park in Athens? If you say this is the pride
of Athens in terms of our outdoor space, rul of
Athens gotta be Virginia Walker Park. And I'm not just
saying that because it's literally right behind my house. I
promise it's got mountain bike trails and then like concrete trails.
I'm gonna be pushing a little baby stroller out there
on little concrete pad. You've got a little like hiking
trails that becomes so important. Yea, having a place to

(05:14):
walk with the baby is so yeah. Do you all?
Do you all enjoy fresh air, sunshine? Y'all get outside enough? Yeah?
What the hell? C Eli is so messed up because
we don't actually probably tax anything out here. I'm looking
at your parks and I'm like, what is this Disney World?
You have rugby uprights for rugby. I'm like, the fun
what is this pad splash guys, you'd love to see it?

(05:39):
All right? Well, Walker Park, I'm reading The Power Broker,
the biography of Robert Moses, and he's just getting to
the part where he starts building some parks in New
York City for and like on Long Island and by
like he has to take over land from you know,
the Bazo says of the day, it's pretty cool. Gives

(06:03):
you a good appreciation for local politics before he turns
into a racist piece of ship later on, but you know,
pretty pretty cool, Uh, pretty cool book. It's also like
a hundred hours long. I'm listening to it. Yeah, alright, Maria,
we're gonna get to know you a little bit better
in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a

(06:26):
couple of the things we're talking about. So, Jeff Bezos
left the planet in a giant dick. People were kind
of already over it the second it happened, because, like
the way social media just turns through jokes, it's like, yeah,
somebody made that joke twenty jokes ago. But I just
want to take a moment to stop and appreciate how

(06:47):
much that thing looked like a dick that he was
trying to space with, like just really bearing out any
any arguments that this whole thing is a rich guy
dick measuring contest. So we'll talk about that. We'll talk
about the picks for the January six Select Committee. The

(07:08):
Republicans are not really doing the good faith effort in
UH making sure they have people who are actually interested
in the truth. We're gonna check in with Sean Hannity.
We love to check in with this guy or a
man on the street when it comes to UH vaccinations.
We'll talk about this new Texas Senate bill that got

(07:30):
rid of the requirement for teaching that the KKK is
morally wrong, among other things. Talk about that. We'll talk
about the Tokyo Ship show, all of that plenty more.
But first, Maria, we like to ask our guests, what
is something from your search history? So I my last
search was c I a intervention in Latin America and

(07:53):
here's why and some context is that? So on my
podcast this week, which comes out Thursday, we talked about
a two thousand four mocking memory by the name of
Confederate States of America, in which it's imagining the Confederacy
had won the Civil War and they proceed to then
implement slavery across the United States, and they actually go
and conquer Latin America as well and implement slavery in

(08:14):
Latin America. And one of the thing is really interesting
about the film is that it's like it's supposed to
be funny, like, oh ha, wouldn't it be hilarious if
that happened, But that does have really strong historical parallels
to like things that really did happen. So the whole
thing about like conquering Latin America, it's like, if you
look at the amount of meddling the United States has
done in places like Chila, pretty much like every Latin
American country with regards to like regime change with democratically

(08:38):
elected governments. Really, you know, it's it's not too far fetched,
not too far from the truth. And so that was
the last thing I searched this morning for a little
additional research for my show this week. Yeah, we bring
that up a lot, given what was happening like in Haiti.
And you know how many mercenaries are trained by the

(08:59):
u HAS govern May. Yes, and we talked a lot
about the School of the America's and how now they've
they've wonderfully rebranded it as like the School for like
Western Cooperation or so stupids name rather than assassin date
like summer Camp, summer Campa. You think we all know. Yeah, Cuba,

(09:20):
when there's like a protest for like a protest for
bring capitalism here, give us a democracy like that takes
over the media. But in Colombia, when there's left wing
activists protesting and getting murdered in the streets, we don't.
We don't talk about that didn't even happen. Yeah, you

(09:43):
might as well don't talk about embargoes or sanctions either.
We're trying to give any kind of context to any
country that's you know, being destabilized by the us with
the foreign policy, and you're like, oh my god, what's
happening over there in that place where we cut off
all the flow of supplies and things. How could this
possibly be? It's like it's like those old school movies

(10:05):
where they're I guess not movies, but that's the only
place I've seen them, like battle strategies where they're just like,
cut off all supplies to a town. And then if
instead of that just being a straightforward military strategy, they
were like, man, your king is really fucking up by
not getting you guys enough food. It's just like, yeah, yeah,

(10:27):
maybe off with his head. Hug Like, I guess, off
with his head. We got all these hamburgers just sitting here. King.
You guys so greedy? Huh oh my gosh, yeah, y'all
ever had a happy meal? Peru just elected a leader

(10:47):
who's like a outsider leftist. Oh yeah, Pedro Castillo. Yeah.
I just had the thought like, yeah, he's in danger,
the silver running for resident in Brazil, he's in danger.
All these cats better have like six security and been
then like they need to like you really need to

(11:09):
check their search histories, and they like, you know, see
check their CVS. Did they did. They spend a summer
at the School of the America's. Yeah, what does this
is the batticle you went on. You went to summer
camp camp that show like Swings by the Lake and
then you know monkey bars that we would climb on

(11:30):
with our A K forty seven's and well explosive devices
and back. Yeah, those are the days how to sabotage
a single engine plane anyway? Um right, what is something
you think is overrated? Man? Precipitation? Bro I just told

(11:52):
you about always beautiful, lush green like gardens and rolling hills,
though gentle every day I'd be I walking. I mean
I walk in like three hours of days, listen to podcasts,
getting caught up on phone calls for politics whatever, and
the rain completely thrown off my day to day completely.
You know what. I know, we need thriving ecosystems whatever,

(12:15):
you know, the plants, but I just I just want
to go on a walk man, in a camp because
it's just terrentially pouring out there today, I'm saying it.
And you know there's that flooding in Germany that killed
like a hundred and fifty people. So that's so it's
a real ship and we need to like really watch
it with the participation percipipation right now. But I mean

(12:40):
it's not just it's not just ruining my day, apparently
a lot of people day. And then out here we
might as well be on a different planet because we
are in the midst of a drought. And when we
could go back wet, like my kids thought they were
like when we went back east to Pittsburgh, they just
like wouldn't believe how green everything was. It's just a

(13:02):
different like it seems like you're on a different planet
when you when you go just yeah, yeah, rather than
a desert that a bunch of people forced into beending
right in the beginning of the last century. Here, where's
the water going to come from? It doesn't matter, doesn't

(13:24):
cut your mouth. Well, fucking reroute the Colorado if we
have to. Yeah, did they ever get around to that?
To this they forgot. It's kept built in the city.
And I mean, well, now, like you know, the big
thing is like all all of the river fighting that's
happening where depending on how if you're upstream or downstream,
like the control that certain municipalities have over how much

(13:46):
water is flowing. And and it's like causing another thing,
because especially if it goes through like tribal lands too,
there's like another layer of like racism and like ability
for them to advocate for, like the rivers that flow
through their territories and things like that. It's just the
very climate change. I'm telling you, it's just it's just
it will always cause more chaos and reveal how just

(14:06):
inefficient and backwards many of our systems are. But yeah,
the the the increasing stuff in Europe, I'm sure it
is very very disconcerting because a lot of scientists are like,
this is what happens because of our hubrists, which is true. Yeah,
you know, if I listen to them, they're like, are
you sure? It's like, yeah, brat unlike our friend Jack,
no offense, real sciences pH d degrees. How here running

(14:30):
around with beakers and test tubes and lab coats doing
the science they know, they know they probably Brogan knows
some science. Okay, he knows how long it takes you
to to pass out from being in a rear naked
choke exactly. Yes, yeah, very rigulous. He can figure it

(14:53):
out within a half second. He's pushing new boundaries on
like how wide a human can be at the same time,
like as being he's wider than he is tall pretty soon,
which is kind of kind of impressed. Are next characters? Yeah,
which that's science man. You don't get that way without
applying sign science man. That's true. Um right, what is

(15:15):
something you take? Is underrated? Say hydrated? So both of
my but my both my over and underrated are both
water related. The phones from the sky very much whack
drinking from a cup first thing in the morning, like
two glasses of like lukewarm lukewarm water. Especially you just
just absorb it immediately and you feel more alert. Your

(15:38):
senses are all percolating. Are you ready to go out
there and kick the day's ass if it were raining?
The other one because now you're trapped in your house
and you gotta get all or whatever. But uh, same hydrated,
you really can't you like more, people need to embrace it.
Dot's embrace it. Don't don't shy away. There's a Remember

(15:59):
there was like a a bait for a while, like
should it be like warm water or like ice cold water?
Remember there's like like some people want to wear like
ice cold water in the morning, but most you are like, no,
it's better for your digestion if it's lukewarm. But yeah,
I just love the same temperature as you, no offense.
I mean that's cool. I feel like ice water. I
mean it's kind of fun up same temperature is me,

(16:20):
but just it's like I'm home. It like just jumps
in and it's like amongst its people with the rest
of the water in you because it's all the same.
It's yeah, there's no yeah, there's no. There's no friction
at the door. No, first the door. They're not like checking,
not like oh dress code. No, it's just like again,

(16:41):
what's good like iceberg? Slim? Okay blended blended. Yeah, I'm
trying to break myself from like cold water. Now I
just do cold ish water, but not like ice water,
because I just I just feel like the all the
old world like information, like all the like a Spanish

(17:01):
mom I lived with for a while was like I
thought that cold water was I actually had really bad allergies.
She thought that cold water was making me sick. And
my mother in law from Korea is like thinks the
cold water is like you might as well be just
like laying around in cold water like that. Yeah, that's
what my mom thinks too. Yeah, just like cool Japanese lady.

(17:24):
She's always like, why are you drinking stuff so cold?
Like you're gonna die? And I'm like, you just grew
up drinking tea all the time. And also a child
also a childhood without ice because post World War two.
But whenever I'm drinking ice water, there's always like this thing.
She's like, she'll like shiver watching me drink ice water.
Sometimes she's like, oh, what's you sipping on? What you got?

(17:47):
What's that browsed up ice coffee? Nice? I'm also drinking
back to you right now drinking Okay, yeah, I need it.
I needed some cold brew to get mine my blood
circu thing. I like to just shock my system with
like cold and then hot cough, cold water, hot pof
just confused. It's called body confusion. I learned about it. Yeah,

(18:10):
that's a real thing, Like muscle confusion that like right
right right to vary your workouts and stuff. My muscles
are dumb as fun. They're always confused. I don't know.
I don't need to like torture myself to that also
sounds like some brag on Someone on Rogan was say like, yo, bro,
oh my god, dude, my biceps, dumb as fun bro

(18:30):
so fucking confused, doggy delirium. All right, let's take a
quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back. And yeah, so,

(18:51):
I mean this is this is old news by now,
but Eric King, God, Jeff Bezos all hell, he left
the planet yesterday more earning. And I mean, it just
couldn't have looked more like a dick. Like, it literally
could not have looked more like a dick. And people
tried this may have zero sense of like awareness of

(19:12):
like or weariness of irony or anything. Just like, yes,
please make it as funt like as possible, and let's go.
I don't know why it's British suddenly, but yeah, yeah,
because the Richard Branson, the last one who took off
a little British billionaire residue. Yeah, it's but it's I
just it's one of those things that we our online

(19:34):
social media metabolism. We just like burned through it real quickly.
But it's like years from now people are going to
look back on that and be like, what the fund
was happening? Why? Real? Yeah, that should have san the
irony should have been it crashing into the earth because
it would have been more of a metaphor about how
he's fucking the entire planet. Yeah, but you know whatever

(19:58):
what I said, it was a metaphor he was hoping
to appropriate, which was fucking space. That's That's how I
like to believe that his engineers or whoever like, got
hired to build the thing. We're like, how can we
just subtle fuck? You'd be like, yo, bro, no, listen,
like the aero dynam and the dynamism of the phallic
shape is the way to go. We promise it's nothing weird.

(20:21):
And he's like, oh sure, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes yes,
And they're like snickering as they pull all the lovers
to make it go up because I got you, bitch,
like to look at the top. Dude, he's gonna get
in there, Like yeah, exactly, he approved this. They're like, yeah,
he doesn't know, he doesn't. He just through cash at it.

(20:42):
Who knows. I really like that theory that they did that,
because there's also the fact that he kind of looks
like Dr Evil already, and like there's the reference to
the Austin Power spacecraft that like motivated a three minute
long dick joke, and this actually looks more or like
a dick like that. The Awesome Powers one had two balls,

(21:04):
which kind of helped with the overall joke of it.
But this one actually like just looks more like a
dick than that. I'm sure I have forgotten about the
Awesome Power similarity. Like how more cartoonishly evil could you be? Yeah,
there's like a literal cinematic parallel of evil villain in

(21:25):
a dick ship. Yeah, they should honestly just like blurcle
that thing out, like it should be blurred out, like, yeah,
I steel violated and seeing it's indecent. And he actually
went to the space right because he's did he actually
break where he went whatever the home or whatever? He said,

(21:46):
he went to orbital, So okay, you ain't got ship daddy,
go out there and fun this guy. Yeah, this was
I keep thinking of. You know when when you're a
kid and you touch the bottom of the pool and
then come right back up. It's like that, that's what
this is. He touched the barrier and was like we um.
I actually have a direct quote from him. Mission control

(22:10):
did a status check after the crew members buckled back
in aboard, after they got to like float around a
little bit, and his quote was asked for not bezos
in my seat. Happy, happy happy, So it's cool. It's good. Brother.
Did the brother that's a clone make it back to Yeah,

(22:31):
I believe they inject him from the ship. Yeah. The
other thing was wild is when he came back. You know,
he had that press conference and he's like, I'm giving
a hundred million dollars to Jose Andres and Van Jones, okay,
to do whatever they want. And it's like full what
And I think again He's like, yeah, I gave away

(22:52):
two hundred million dollars. Please don't make me pay taxes. Yeah,
like roll back the guillotines, like I gave it to
a black man and a brown man. And whether or
not those people are you know, are Josi Andres. I
love his working. Van Jones's little have a few question
marks over, but I think the optics. He's like, this
is gonna be great. It's great, and they will decide
what to do, so I don't have to be the

(23:12):
one that decides. And just in keeping with the you know,
ham fisted melodramatic political cartoonist who has been writing reality
for the past six years, I just want to check
on a couple of headlines that were trending at the
same time that he was going into space in a
dick shaped rocket. We had how bad is the Bootleg fire?

(23:33):
It's generating its own weather, So that's a fire that's
caused by and creating climate change. And then US renews
public health emergency due to COVID nineteen pandemic. So yeah,
that's that's. Things are going well down here until Bazos
is like, why don't we just put concrete over all

(23:54):
that stuff if it's gonna burn every time? Yeah, don't
give him any ideas. What if you listen to the show,
Yeah he does. He's Yeah, he's Defence that always put
hater comments in the thing. Jeff, alright, let's talk about
that January six select Committee. We're finally going to get

(24:15):
to the bottom of this thing, or I mean, yeah,
Kevin McCarthy, he has picked five men to be on
the January six committee, because if you remember we talked
about how the formation of this committee, you know, Pelosi
doesn't have to accept these five picks. They're just sort
of done in consultation with the Minority leader. And he's

(24:36):
picked Jim Banks from Indiana Old Screamy Jim Jordan's from
Ohio and a few other people in including Troy Nails,
who was a former sheriff who helped Capitol police hold
back insurrectionists during the attack. So um, but here's the thing.
Three of them also voted to overturn election results. So
this is going to be a very interesting group if

(24:57):
Pelosi accepts them. Again, she doesn't have to, but I'm
sure McCarthy's being very intentional by having you know, Jim
Jordan's be part of that, because why would you have
someone that many people are like, he was like, you know,
getting people fired up, like as much as anybody that
was actually a seated member, you want him to be
part of this committee. I mean, I'm sure if you know,

(25:19):
if Pelosi declines, then they'll have their am to say
this partisan. Look, they have the person who's it, who
was like an insurrectionist, you just keeping for insurrections, he
can't be part of the thing that investor good And
if you remember, the Senate Republicans shot down a proposal
to have an independent body investigate because of the you know,

(25:39):
they're like, look, we doesn't have to be people from
the Senate or whatever. We have an independent body investigate this.
And Republicans said that that was too partisan. So what
it's it's just a very I don't know. We'll see
what happens. Um. I know Liz Cheney is one of
the people that Nancy Pelosi did ask to be as
part of the committee a if you would like you know,

(26:01):
many other Democrats. But we will see with this because
the other thing is too Republicans they were putting up
such a fight with this whole investigation because they know
it's probably gonna incriminate few members they get. Because they
were like, oh, this is nonsense. They completely walked away
from negotiations, so they gave away their powered like veto
and subpoena power if they were if they had actually

(26:22):
like committed to being part of this. So now it's
just like, I don't know, a clown show. Was Jim
was Jim Jordan's like part of the these election results
aren't trustworthy type ship, like he was on he was
on that thing. Oh yeah, okay, okay, oh yeah. He's
a big life supporter. He's a big old, big lie,

(26:44):
big lie guy. Which again I don't know how that
how anyone could like that doesn't I don't know, I
don't know why I'm trying to like apply like logic
or like I'm like, you can't have someone who's implicated
in the attack also be one of the investigators. Like
it feels like that, Tim Robinson, like, I think you

(27:04):
should leave sketch with the hot dog card drops through
the thing. That's what we're trying to figure out did this?
It's like, and why are you here leading the questions?
It was you? Yeah, And the other thing they're trying
to do is you know, there if if these people
get on, I'm sure the other thing that they want
to do is hijack the agenda to make sure that

(27:25):
they're like, well, we're gonna talk about political violence when
you to talk about the summer of what was going
on with all the George Floyd protests. That's really the
thing that they want to offer as a counterpoint. But again,
I don't know what you're going to see in terms
of I don't know what what the truth they're trying
to get to unless it's some kind of conspiracy theory.
But water it all down and so whatever results ultimately
emerged from it, shouldn't you know, move forward, as you know,

(27:48):
and the suggested composition like what are we gonna do.
What are we gonna do with it? Like oh great,
like how we found we found me? Didn't they wrong? Now?
Like the same way with like you know, Trump's many crimes,
they ain't going to jail. That's what will be interesting
to see what happens if how Pelosi plays this, like
if if she does have Jim Jordan's on, whether that's

(28:10):
just a move where she's like, all right, I know
you're just trying to get me to say no to him,
so you can already say the things, you know, a
fucking sham from the beginning, or let him go in,
make a fool of himself, leak that stuff. Be like
this guy sums up with this dude, we need to
get him out. Actually I don't know. But so I
like to be a podcaster instead of a politician, or

(28:30):
you do both? Do both rads? Sick? Yeah? Fine, all right,
all right, we're running. I'm running for governor. Man, everybody's
on it for California governor right now. Apparently the oh yeah,
the water is great. Yeah, Jack, you're running to right,

(28:51):
don't yeah, come through. You can use my address to
say you live there. But there's I feel like there's
a motivation on the Democrats part, Like I've just noticed
this with Biden and like how he's talking about the
infrastructure and like the filibuster reformed. That like there just

(29:12):
seems to be a like they're as motivated to keep
things the way they are as Republicans are, Like they
want things to stay sort of quote bipartisan to the
degree that like nothing actually gets done like that that
seems to be where we are at. As there comes

(29:33):
a time and when if you are not willing to
play dirty put aside to Korum and all of that
stuff and fight and just getting nasty, do you are,
Cause it's conceiving a fascism straight up, period, point blank.
That's it. That's it, and you can't. And I think
they're like, well, there may be a way that we
can do the Democrats version of fascism that like it's

(29:55):
fine for people, it's palatable, and you can talk about
it on TV and most people aren't going to get
the new on the Rainbow Republican version. Yeah exactly, And
what we're it can take cloth when we're in here
saying hey, come through, you're gonna love our version. But
like the whole thing with even with that you know,
like it just rings so hollow when you know Biden
is just like completely ignoring what progressives are saying, like

(30:17):
we will not support this other dumb fucking bill you
want if you don't actually address things like paying essential
workers and climate change, Like this isn't just gonna be
a Rhodes and Bridge fucking deal here, Like we have
real ship that has to be addressed, and the version
like and it's starting to ring hollow too, along with
the increasing threat of this just some just ridiculous, cynical,

(30:39):
undemocratic play that the Republicans are trying to make in
every state house of them just sort of acting like, oh,
this is so bad. It's like, well, then do something.
It like feels like the bit that I'll do. Jack
Well used to go to lunch and I'll be like, oh,
I forgot my wallet when the bill comes and you're
like a man and you're like looking around to see
if people are buying your bullshit. It's clearly such a
bullshit thing. And that's how I feel. And every time

(31:01):
I hear Chuck Schumer Biden talk about the difficulties they're
having while at the same time being like, we need
to pass this Bill. It's like, well, if you know that,
then you know what the fund to do. God damnit.
It sounds like you don't you don't have your wallet
because you don't have money, and you don't want to pay.
You don't want to do anything because you don't want
to change anything. Right, all right, let's talk about Fox

(31:25):
News is continuing evolution. But they must have gotten a
like a season desist or something. I don't know. I
feel like there's like something legally has changed, because suddenly
suddenly they are open to admitting that vaccines work. Yeah, well,
did y'all see that reporting from Ryan Graham of The

(31:45):
Intercept which showed that Fox News required as like has
vaccine passport, vaccine past? Yet exactly you have interesting upload
that you got the vaccine and if you didn't, then
you gotta like wear a mask or social distance or
staying off is by yourself and negative test and all
that negative tests and all of that after all of
the ship they've been saying, and so I think they're like,

(32:07):
what we got cooks and like now they're like, oh, actually,
you know, I never said I didn't. What are you say?
So it seems like there's been some overall change in
direction or at least like they are these moments where
they're acknowledging the efficacy of the vaccine, but they'll say

(32:31):
it like right next to some bullshit that like it
flies to the vaccine doesn't work or is dangerous like
not just like somebody in the morning will say a
thing about getting like how you need to get vaccinated.
And then Tucker Carlson's show later like this handity clip
comes right after he is saying some like anti vactor ship. Yeah,

(32:53):
he's he's getting angry that a university, I think the
University of Indiana was mandating vaccines for faculty andes to
it's because of pandemic. And then he pivoted to interviewing
a young woman whose legs like went numb after getting
a vaccine, but not the COVID vaccine, just someone who
had a vaccine injury, and that this is where it

(33:14):
gets well. Right after that, he says this, just like
we've been saying, please take COVID seriously. I can't say
it enough enough. People have died. We don't need any
more death research like crazy. Talk to your doctor, your
doctor's medical professionals you trust based on your unique medical history.

(33:35):
Your current medical condition, and you and your doctor make
a very important decision for your own safety. Take it seriously.
You also have a right to medical privacy. Doctor patient
confidentiality is also important, and it absolutely makes sense for
many Americans to get vaccinated. I believe in science. I
believe in the science of vaccination. Bro what yeah blanks

(34:01):
being held hostage? Mr Hannon, That's what I was saying.
It sounded like. And also the thing where he said, like,
we've always been saying like we've been saying, like, bitch,
you have been saying, know what that sounds like something
you're trying to get like out there, just so like
if there's a trial you can say like, oh no, no,

(34:21):
I went on my show and very much Yeah, like
I've always been saying, We've always been saying, or some
people at the network have been saying. So that's been
like a huge A lot of people were like, this
is a big head scratcher. But to Jack's point, it's
not always the same thing. It's not consistent throughout the day.
Because then at to your point, where I like the
news about the vaccine passport came out and that they're

(34:43):
enforcing these same sort of draconian policies that they scream
about on their shows. And also the thing is that, like,
it's very likely that many of these people, if not
all of them, are vaccinated, they're just not acknowledging it publicly.
And but but again, before we give Fox like a
round of applause for having a change of heart, I
just want to check in with Brian Kilmead, who if

(35:05):
you remember when we played the clip from Fox and
Friends yesterday when do see on Fox and Friends was like, Hey,
I believe in the vaccine, Like kill me? Yeah, whatever,
He had his own little opinion segment that he did.
Keep in mind that Brian Kilmead is vaccinated. Okay, and
listen to this take he had. So let's get this straight.
Of COVID hospitalizations are unvaccinated people who, by the way,

(35:28):
made their own choice not to be vaccinated. And if
you need a recent to get vaccinated, I guess you
just got one. But since when do we count on
the President United States for healthcare advice? Let me answer
that we do not, but that isn't stopping him from
offering us his unsolicited, unscientific input. Okay, um, I think

(35:49):
you were like all preaching about hydroxy Clerk went at
one point because the President, yes, your unscientific gas opinions
about shit have to kill me, which is well, essentially
like his point there is that like, hey man, if
these motherfucker's want to die getting vaccinated, that's their choice,
like reason. But no, huh okay, um Media Matters was

(36:17):
doing like like you know, they looked at sort of
just you know, all of the mentions of vaccination and
like what the takes takes are, and they sat around
fifty seven percent of the stuff that you hear on
Fox News when it was talking about vaccinations would was
like anti stuff, you know, was just sowing more disinformation
or doing the thing where they just pose these questions
like Tucker Carlson does, like I'm just merely asking if

(36:40):
it works all the time, and if it does, then
why aren't more you know what I mean, just that
sort of cynical journalism, journalism just even journalism just hot takes. Unfortunately,
I feel like even the positives that they're squeezing them
there for whatever reason, whoever is holding them hostage with
like sexual assault, like ugh lations, They're like, yo, I'm

(37:01):
handing me. I'm gonna tell them, I'm gonna tell them
what you did if you don't start talking about the vaccines. Also, yeah,
I unfortunately it's just too a little too late, bro.
I mean yeah, they're just continuing to intersperse it with scaremongering.
If you'remongering, and it's just like it's easier to like
see that and be like, huh, that's an interesting take

(37:23):
if when they're like promoting them and then just sit
around and do nothing and just like and not go
and just passively not go get it nonetheless. So it's
just like the damage has been done. They could they
could wholesale change their two now and it wouldn't matter
because those viewers would just they go to O, A,
N N. They go watch News Max, they just go
watch whatever. Even lunear more. You know, right wing outlets

(37:45):
are out there. It's like, oh, they've abandoned us. They've
become some chumps. They've got they've got the Bill Gates
chipping them and it's making them talk weird. They're lost.
They're good. Also, they're like, Sirie, find my iPhone. It's
like they're like great, They're like it told you within
like twenty feet where your phone goes. Well, that's the
tracking device. But the other thing, Yeah, it's it's there.

(38:09):
There's a thing on O A N where recently somebody
came out with like the wildest like just outlandish anti
scientific claim against vaccines and like oh a N like
was publicly like we believe in vaccination science blah blah blah.
Like that person is they're speaking for themselves. So it's
weird how the networks. I think probably in in light
of all like the dominion voting lawsuits and things like that,

(38:31):
maybe realizing that there there could be possible repercussions for
just screaming that out. But I mean, imagine how many
lives would be saved saved if Fox was saying this
from the beginning. But again, like because it's all about
fracturing the country, like they couldn't even find a thing
that would be the easiest thing for everyone to agree on,
which is like, hey man, America's in trouble the country.

(38:53):
We need to take care of you. We need to
do the right thing because this is America versus being
like I'll do what the funk I want, but that's America.
And then you hear the stories about I mean, it's
like the families, it's your family. Man, It's not just
like if you don't care if you ever die, like
you know, yolo sick. Love that for you, but what
about your parents, what about your kids, what about your pats?

(39:13):
What about your coworkers and your classmates and you're you
know everybody the funding loves you, you know, like do
it for them people, but people don't don't care about them,
like I don't want to feel things I want to feel. Yeah,
it is a little bit of one of those like
frog in the pot, like where the water slowly getting
hotter and hotter until it's boiling, but you don't notice

(39:36):
because yeah, just when you take a step back and
realize they're willing to hurt people, like they know the
vaccine works, they're getting the vaccine, but they're willing to
let people die in order to continue to you know,
sending that message bury their heads and the profit off
an audience that wants to hear that. Yeah, exactly. I

(39:59):
mean could you imagine just like there's like a terrible
wave of like COVID deaths and it's like they hollow
out their audience, Like would that be like the scientific
experiment that they're looking at. It's like if you feed
these people this diet that is diametrically opposed to their safety,
Like eventually are they going to reap what they're sewing
in the form of like just I don't know, it's

(40:22):
the people that you profit from, So maybe change your
business model little bit, encourage those that by the products
that advertise in your shows to live. But if that's
what they're responding to, like somebody put a chart in
front of them that was like we're seeing a a
viewer dip or all our viewers are going to hospital rooms.

(40:44):
They're they're just going to TVs that are in hospital
rooms now, so we might need to, uh, you know,
switch things up a little bit. It's just yeah, and
it's just sad, just sad, the amount of people that
are susceptible to misinformation, like of many different ideologies because
you get the woo yoga crowd who probably vote for
Obama three times type of you know, people who are

(41:05):
like out here now fully like oh no, I can't
do it, I can't do it, I can't do it.
But yeah, this is the world ring it is, this
is the world. Profound profound observations from I heard we
live in a society I don't know where I read that.
It could be misinformation. I'm glad you went there. I'm
glad you. Yeah, I heard tell we live in a society.

(41:27):
All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
right back. And we're back. And the Texas State Senate
has just passed a bill to get rid of a

(41:47):
requirement that said the teachers had to teach that the
clue Klux Klan was morally wrong. It also removed Martin
Luther King Jr's I Have a Dream speech has required
curriculum and suffrage, the women's suffrage movement, civil rights just
generally like making it so that there are no requirements

(42:10):
around the teaching of the history of white supremacy in
this country, which means that in a lot of cases,
like teachers have come forward and said, I feel like
physically threatened if I am teaching this as a as
like my own decision, because like parents are are not

(42:30):
wanting their kids to hear that, like in in these
this is a lot bleaker than I thought. I'm not
gonna lie. I like when I heard the school boards
passing resolutions announcing critical race theories, like I understand why,
Like I can understand why people's resistance to being told that,
like they're part of the problem. Like I get how
that hurts, Honny, Like I understand sweet hard, Like that's

(42:52):
really hard, even though it's conversation we need to have,
but like seeing its actual instantiation, and like, we're not
going to teach about the suffrage movement. We're not gonna
we're not gonna teach about like Caesar Chavez, We're not
teach about m ok. It's like, oh, oh no, this
is a whole another level of life. Oh make y'all

(43:13):
ignorant ignant that only history is white history and white
male history and also like all of these things right,
It's like, you know, because one of the first things
I was taught in college, like America is a white supremacist,
capitalist patriarchy, And I was like, what the classes this?
And then and this is precisely it. They are trying
to erase anything that would give someone the critical functions

(43:36):
to understand the systems of oppression that work in this country.
Because I'm like, fun, man, were we got too loose
with this teaching people history stuff that now we have
to I mean, granted they're not saying it's banned, but
they're saying they're so longer required, so then you know,
fucked up school districts can make their decisions that way.
But yeah, it's it's just it shows you, like clearly

(43:59):
that the a level of progress just in general. It's
just such a frightening prospect to conservatives that to now
even be like, oh, yeah, we're not even teaching history anymore,
Like we can't even do that because I mean I
already had my critiques as someone that today's education partially
about like the limits of civic's education today where it's like,
I'll we teach about the civil rights movement as if like, oh,

(44:19):
we beat slavery, we beat racism, it's over. But like
if y'all not even gonna teach about how they kind
of sort of started to begin to beat racism period,
we in trouble. This is we be in trouble. Would
be like I remember, like they're going to completely take
away stuff like you know, maybe Alexei to Tokoville or

(44:41):
these other like nuanced things or you know, talking about
MLK or w B w B two Boys or things
like that, and be like when Tom Brady when his
seven Super Bowl children with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. People
thought that was impossible, but he had a dream, and
you're like, what the way? What then are the teaching
somebody be raised their hands to be like what about

(45:02):
Trina and Simone bios and get in school, get out,
get out of here? Do you think this is gonna
make history like the edgiest ship for for teens now?
Because if they're not teaching it, you know how like
kids be like, yo, you know what I mean? And
then they're like, y'll read this. Howard's in real quick
man your head you're not on opening. And then you

(45:24):
know during recess, be like, yo, I got so many pamphlets,
we got them. Okay, what you want? What you need?
You want some SUPs to be Anthony, You want some
little cesar chavas in here. And you want to know
about physiognomy or phrenology. Kids like you can tell some
bands something taboo, something's not included. They're like, oh work.
They'll be like we actually just learned about phrenology and

(45:47):
class but like like as if it's science. No, no,
not like that, notledge. It's really cool. I want to
be a phrenologist. Mom. It's like, wait, what the fuck
I mean? I know about the pursuit of you know,
band materials. Like I said, the original A t Aliens
that had a different CD art on it. I remember

(46:08):
trying to get that CD. Because again, kids, if you
if you say there's a different version or something banned
or whatever. I don't know, Like it's just in my mind.
I just see like this weird world where kids are like, yo,
check this book out right. It's like it's just history.
It's history. Yeah, it's just a textbook. Yeah. I mean
this we had talked about, like the GOP kind of

(46:31):
weaponizing the words critical race theory as a talking point
because I think it had pulled negatively with the base,
and you know, they're using it to rile up the
racist But this proves that, you know, like Mariah, like
you said there, they're dead serious about making this part

(46:53):
of of the future. Like what supremacy is a protected
value of American children's civic at occasion, like that's it's
gonna be hard when over half those kids are not white. Yeah,
you know, but I mean that's specifically what they're worried about.
I think. Yeah, I mean, because look it's coming, baby,

(47:13):
look at the demographics. It's coming. Okay um, And it's
just funny too because it's there. On Monday, there was
a in Missouri. They had a legislative committee like can
invite only hearing on critical race theory, didn't invite one
black person, huh for this, for this hearing on whether
or not should be taught? So you know this is
you know, this is where things are headed. It's it's

(47:35):
really it's really grim. So hey, if you're a parent,
make sure that you tell your kids about the importance
of history, because every time I see this, I'm like, damn,
I'm glad. That's what I was the most interested in
as a kid, like because it felt like the closest
to watching a movie for me. Like history was easy
to study because it felt like a narrative all the
time and not like science with equations and ship I

(47:56):
was like, okay, right, they did that and that made
them do this and that's why it's like this now, Okay,
I like this. So a little bit of hope is
to pass this bill pass in the Texas Senate. Does
that mean that it's not yet pass in the Texas House?
That's right? Yeah, right, WHOA, I'm reading a little bit.
Lord Jesus as I was nervous. This is them showing

(48:17):
their hand of like what they want to do where
they where they want to take things they haven't they
haven't officially. Yeah, and then they do the thing where
they then they do do the most inflammatory bill first,
and then you dial it back and go, Okay, you're right,
we just want to teach that the KKK isn't bad.
We'll just do that one. Yeah, yeah, Compromised partisanship five

(48:39):
partisanship was beautiful time baby. All right, let's check in
with the Tokyo ship show that continues to unfold in
the run up to the Olympics. In the newest bad
news aside from like, you know, the raging pandemic, is

(49:00):
that you know, the people who are being quarantined and
like being forced to self isolate are not being like fed.
They're they're like they they're stuck in their rooms, like
journalists are stuck in their rooms, and then like there's
no food being delivered to them, so they're like you know,
starvation conditions basically. Yeah, I mean it's it's like it's

(49:22):
to the point where, you know, like the protocol is
apparently from the Olympic committees, like if something happens, then
you'll be so you'll you'll self isolate and you'll get
three meals a day like brought to you. So like
the first day, people like, where's my food and they're like, oh,
we don't, we're not that's not our department and said that,
Oh yeah, I didn't mean that, and they're like, well,
so then like a lot of journalists have had to

(49:44):
rely on their colleagues who are in the area to
bring them food because like the overall Olympic, you know,
body is not actually doesn't have a hand in that
for some reason, or the municipal government. So on top
of that, it's just like it's bad enough that that
the like journalists are like, I'm gonna miss the opening,
so I'm gonna miss a lot of it if I'm
here for fourteen days, Like I might as well have

(50:06):
just not come here and watched the same damn TV
that everybody else wasn't just done my reporting like that.
But on top of that, this is from the Daily
Daily Beast quote some of them say that they were
exposed on the same flight that were so apparently this
would happen where they were exposed on a flight and
they said, hey, sorry, you run a flight with somebody
that had that tested positive, you have to self isolated,
so they said. Some of them say that they were

(50:27):
exposed on the same flights that were carrying athletes to Tokyo.
But those athletes have been told there's no need for
them to isolate. The reporters say they're fully vaccinated and
have returned multiple negative tests, but we'll spend the next
fourteen days locked up in their rooms regardless. So it's like, okay, well,
how is this being applied in a consistent way? It

(50:48):
isn't because there's enough. This also happened with the entirety
of the BBC Scotland Press Corps that was traveling. They've
also had to self isolate because they were on a
flight that had a positive case on it, But the
athletes on that flight not so much. Quote. The BBC
has confirmed that although British Olympic athletes were on the
same flight as the isolating BBC Scotland team, they are

(51:09):
able to carry on with their preparations as normal if
they keep returning negative tests. McLaughlin wrote in an article
for the BBC, quote, I would be lying if I
said there wasn't also huge frustration about differences in the rules.
End quote. They're just so desperate to squeeze the entertainment
out of the athletes so that they can, you know,
do the pepsi commercials, sell the seats, seats in the stadiums,

(51:31):
get the tourist money they can't even have. They don't
even have tourists though. That's like the other part of it.
I don't understand why. Okay, everybody ever delivering you know,
Toyota pulled out as an advertiser, but they still have
all these advertisers that they are trying to deliver value for,
so like of course they have to like let the

(51:51):
athletes be out and doing their preparations, but the journalists
aren't driving you know, advertiser value, so they're fucked. They're
going to be treated like ship. I mean, it is.
The Olympics are the most capitalist like kind of event.
It's like capitalism, the super Bowl of capitalism, which is

(52:14):
itself probably the super Bowl of capitalism, but yeah, the
World's Fair of capitalism. It's like all these advertisers and
it's just one of yet another example of how when
things are off and when there's a lot of inequality
and when there's a crisis situation. Our like hyper capitalistic
kind of organizing principle that we've been going with for

(52:37):
the past forty years, Like doesn't it just does work.
It's a it's a ship show. It's disorganized. People are
treated differently based on how valuable they are to the
people who are exchanging the most money. Like that's that's
all what it comes down to. And it's just not
it's not it can't function. They have to understand, like

(53:01):
how badly even like this purported like logic is of
being like, oh, the journalists, even if they have negative
tests or fully vaccinated, we can't have them do anything.
The athletes, that's fine, because if a close contact is
enough to isolate a journalist, surely you don't want the athletes,
who you're saying, we're in the exact same environment to
then go and pull up to the Olympic village and
just start mingling with thousands of other people too. I

(53:23):
don't even like if you're if you're if it's really
about safety, then you have to actually be consistent without
your isolating people to make sure you're limiting the spread.
But again, it's not about that, and it's just so
it's just like so transparently disastrous that it's just so frustrating,
especially now that every like almost every country is and
having like, oh man, two players in the Mexico baseball

(53:45):
team got COVID, Like just wherever you've turned, like the
reports of cases aren't declining, especially in athletes that are
about to command I really feel like this is, Yeah,
this is truly emblematic of the Olympics as an organization
as well, because I remember back what was it, two
thousand fourteen till sixteen, and so she she was a
mess and they wanted to blame it on oh, Russia,

(54:06):
and like, I'm sure people this time we're gonna try
to say, oh, Japan, they're talking up it's like the
least common denominator here is that it's the Olympics. Bro.
I'm pretty sure this is endemic to their you know,
the institution that like they're just willing to do whatever
it takes to pull off this massive sporting event for
yeah to you know, get that get that out, because
those advertising dollars, etcetera. At the expense of human life

(54:30):
or you know, whatever anything whatever it takes to get
it done. Sadly, yeah, it's it's it's really bad. And
on top of that too, there's like this Paralympic swimmer
who has a condition where she's deaf and blind and
needs like a primary care assistant to help her, you know,
navigate her day to day situations, which is her mom.

(54:51):
And you know, she had a terrible experience in Rio
where she wasn't able, like she wasn't able to have
her mom around for like this short segment and was
like having trouble you know, getting food because of her condition,
and and in her trying to go to the Tokyo Olympics,
they said, oh, your mom can't come because the rules
are too strict with like outside people, like this is
the Paralympics and I need this person to even be

(55:13):
able to get to the venue, like what's going on?
And because the Olympic committee is like, oh, our hands
are tied. She tried to go to the government of
like an ambassador to Japan to try and speak with
the Japanese government. They said, oh, that's not on us.
They tried to speak with the Olympic committee. They said, oh,
that's on the US team, like they can just ask
for more credentials. And she's like what the funk is this.

(55:33):
So she's pulling out of the games because she's like,
I refuse to subject myself to this because last time
it was so traumatic for me. I'm not even to
do this. And how dare you have people like allow
people who are dependent on the help of others to
just go up, like go through their lives and even compete,
that you're gonna bar them from coming Like none of
this makes sense. So you know, she's the swimmers like

(55:55):
completely said, I'm I'm out of this too. So it's
like everything just sucks about about the Olympics. And I
hope at the end of this, like because of this
one especially, people go, man, we need need to seriously
rethink this ship, Like just put it in one place
forever and you can you can maintain your facilities rather
than always builking like local governments for their funds to

(56:17):
sort of pay for stadiums and things like that. Just
keep it in one place, because this ship feels like
the monorail from the Simpsons or like you come around
and be like, hey, man, if you get the Olympics here,
like we'll do this and this and this, Oh, the
people will be fucked. But the local the local contracting
will be booming all that for nothing, and I just
it's just like I I used to really like the Olympics,

(56:39):
Like I really like watching people compete who are at
the height of their abilities, but like this just puts
such a stupid, fucking just I just can't now. I'm
just like off this. I will say, I don't know.
I saw a tweet somewhere somebody was like, I need
to see one of these mofuers like the sprinters run
against like a regular person to truly understand, Like how

(57:02):
impressive you like, put me on the slalom and put
me so I can truly understand because it is impressive
to watch, but out of context of like seeing how
dumbass the rest of us would look trying, it's just like, oh,
that seems pretty cool. It's just sort of like it's
hard to grapple with the true amazing nous of what

(57:22):
they do out there sometimes. But even that aside, just
institutionally the whole thing is sucked up. And maybe you
know a boss Olympics, yeah, it would be hilarious. So
just to be like, okay, for those people who don't
like get the get the guy who you think is
the most fit guy from your town, Okay, and we'll
have one. We'll have one dummy spot in the Olympics
so you can just see what the fund this looks

(57:42):
like because this man will blow their hamstrings out the blocks. Yeah,
you can ultimately impressed by like the other fucker's like, yeah,
that's why I also like with the Simone Biles stuff
because she's just next level and everything she does and
I've just gotten spoiled them, like I don't know, that's
the don't know. I had to like a lot of
were like watch the gold medal winning performances from Ship

(58:02):
in the eighties and early nineties, just so you can
really understand how even then, even not even comparing like
I'm amateur, just how far she's like progressing the sport.
And those always you always need those little context things.
Have you ever seen like the measurement of you saying
bolts stride length, it's not it's so wild. He'll like

(58:24):
like six ft or some ship he takes one strides
during the excuse me, yeah, other other like sprinters need
like forty eight and he covers it in forty one
like I would probably need, you know, and a break
in between Yeah. So one thing that I I don't

(58:49):
know if this is going to happen or change anything,
but the head of the Tokyo Olympics organizing Committee on Tuesday,
so yesterday, did not rule out a last cancelation of
the Global Sporting which starts on Friday. So soun that
guy's fucked. Yeah, he's having stress diarrhea every morning. An

(59:17):
he needs the same security detail that the new leader
of Perue needs. Yes, yes, oh yeah when that Olympic
hit squad comes, Yeah, what did he do to deserve this?
Like same thing the Olympics say, like has some sort
of sex scandal and they were like, oh, let me
tell everybody what you did. And they're like now please.
So they're like, all right, we'll go send send Homie

(59:38):
and send Homie out there and telling me might cancel it. Yeah,
I don't know what they're gonna do. That's so infuriating
to even read that headline given everything else we've been
reading and hearing about these games, Like, yeah, I mean
I could get canceled. I might start that, wouldn't I
can only imagine a little bit of shot Troy, like
y'all done all this fun ship you sent home. Yeah,

(01:00:00):
you made the deaf blind swimmer go home after she's
like the most impressive athlete, and you know, all the
ship we should carry all this funk ship with the journalists,
and it's like, go have games. I would I would
kind of enjoy if that happen. That would yeah, that
would feel that would feel good. But then it sucks
for everyone else. But then you're like, honestly, it's the
pandemic and the Olympics were fooling everybody by even saying

(01:00:23):
they could do it this year, So shame on them
