Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to see the twenty five
episode two of Dary Daily YEA for April two, eight ten.
My name is Jack O'Brien ak Potatoes O'Brien, and I
am thrilled to be joined as always by my co host,
Mr Miles Gray. That's right, it's me Miles Gray, Jane
Miles Gracian a dota con how readings to everybody on

(00:21):
this wonderful Tuesday, and we're thrilled to be joined in
our third seat by the hilarious comedian and performer Ever Mainard. Hi, everybody,
what's up? Thank you for having me, Thank you for
being here. Um, what is something from your search history
that is revealing about who you are as a human being? Okay? Well,
I was like, what can I share? And honestly, it's

(00:43):
just all Google searches of me, you know what I mean? Like,
what's the news? Just go Ever Mainard, Hot question, Ever
Mainard defeat h w T. I actually have been Google
searching a lot of different animals for a riding thing,

(01:04):
and I got really obsessed with rattlesnakes. So all of
my like search histories right now are rattlesnakes and army
Navy surplus stores online. So I get bored. No, I
thought I need a new backpack, and then um, and

(01:25):
then I wanted to learn more about rattlesnakes because I'm
from a small town in Texas and like now is
when they're like starting to like, what's up? Come out
nice little ready to kill? Um? Wait, where are you
from in Texas? I'm from a town called Little River,

(01:45):
Little River Academy. We're from the Academy side. But it's
two tiny towns but together so we can have like
a school district. What's the closest big um. I guess
the closest big city if you know it is Temple.
It's right off of AU thirty five. But if don't
know that, it would be um Ri, in between Waco
and Austin. Okay, yeah, I've heard of Waco. Austin though

(02:07):
not so much. Just a cool name for a young man.
That's my cousin's name. Shout out to Austin. Um, is
there anything cool about rattlesnakes? We should know that if
they weren't like the devil spawn enough, they the mother snakes.
Most snakes just like lay eggs and then they hatch

(02:28):
and when female snakes get pregnant, they keep their eggs
in them, and then they give live birth to baby rattlesnakes.
And I'm terrified of rattlesnakes, so that idea is just
like wait, so they give live birth like instead of
just hatching, and so they just hatch internally. And then
they're like, wow, how many do you know? How many
snakes come on? I just I stopped reading that point

(02:50):
because in my mind is like a thousand. Well, then
I found on YouTube I want to know. So now
they do like have dens like rattlesnake dance. And this
dude put a GoPro on a hockey stick and walked
out to this field and all of a sudden, you
just hear this insane like and you're like, what is that?
And then he gets to it and like this, he's

(03:11):
holding this hockey stick over this like pit viper nest
and they're just like lunging at the camera. Are they
just in like a hole? No, it's just yeah, it's
kind of like a pit. It's kind of like there's
like a drop off like looks like somebody dug a
hole and like, I'm done. Digg and Jack is not
familiar with the concept of a pitch. Yeah, okay, so
it's like just you know, like a big hole, bile,

(03:34):
a ground hole. They spawn like that and they hang out. God,
I love that that guy was like, hey, I finally
got used for this old hockey stick. Ye, this is
the same danger as at all. Um, snakes are at
least polite. They have like a yeah, they're just like
you're about to die. Well okay, hold okay, now, um,

(03:59):
they evolving where they either don't have rattles or they
won't rattle because it's a survival instant because when they rattle,
then they get killed. Right, But that's always has to
have been the case when like it's not like we
just developed ears, like they've well now they're getting smarter sticks,
right casey from the ex Get these snakes out of here,

(04:28):
get them out. What's something you think is underrated? Um?
I think underrated hot dogs. Got dogs are a little underrated.
Um mainly like I don't know if you call them
dirty dogs out here, but like the street vendor hot
danger dogs are totally brought up danger dogs. Wow, it's

(04:48):
a blessing. I think that danger dogs are underrated number one,
because when you're out and you're drunk and you're hungry,
and it's there. It's always good. I've never had a
bad danger dog. I've actually dropped a danger dog in
downtown l A picked it up and ate it. Are

(05:09):
mutant powers? Was it wrapped in paper? And was it
wrapped in a bun? No? I'm dropped my naked hot
It's not my proudest moment. Did you wipe it off? Run?
Blew it off to get it? And then I guess
it's just like gravel. It was on the street, gravel
and human urine. That's why my immunity is so strong.

(05:34):
Strong constitution. Yeah, exactly. All right, let's hear the overrated Okay,
Number one overrated thing is Trader Joe's. I don't like.
I'm not a Trader joe fan. They're parking lot, it's aggressive. Okay,
I know what you're talking about. The one yes, but
every single everybody. This is funny because every person on
the show who has a grave about Trader Joe's, it's
always stemmed from the Trader Joe's. It's over like, but

(05:55):
not to say that. I also don't with Trader Joe's
because of the parking lot. And there's too many people,
but go on, I'm sorry. And the parking lot in
Burbank And then when I lived in Chicago, all the
Trader Joe's had tiny parking lots there, and then it
feels so cramped and it's like organized in an unorganized right,
And then everyone's like and I'm just like, get out
of my what's the one in Manhattan that's like in
a basement. And basically the shopping it you just get

(06:17):
in line before shopping and you just pick up the
ship you need on the way because it's so packed
in there that the only way to shop is to
do it while you're in line. Too much, right, I think,
Oh I can't handle it. I don't think their fruit
is that good and their flowers don't smell good. The
disorganization thing is interesting. Hold hold on. And they have

(06:42):
good frozen treats, Like they have good like frozen things
to kind of stow away frozen apps. Yeah, but like
in terms of their fresh stuff, it's not very fresh.
And I agree, the organization is just all over the place.
I did, like, I've read a bunch of stuff on
how grocery stores are organized, and it's very meticulous and

(07:02):
you'll notice that most of the time you enter through
the produce and then like towards all the way to
the back is milk, and like they're designed so that
you circulate in a very specific direction because they know
that like nine humans out of ten preferred to circulate
like it's basically counterclockwise. We prefer counter clockwise. But then

(07:23):
Whole Food started doing it the opposite way to like
prove that they were like new and hip and like.
But then Trader Joe's is just a fucking it's just
chaos in there. They just like put it anywhere, like
you have to learn it all by yourselves. Sometimes you
got cheese over here, but then you got another cheese
over there, right, yeah, and they're like, where's your aloe juice?
They're like next to the flowers, and like it's not

(07:45):
with the other juices, right, good point. Yeah. I feel like,
isn't Trader Joe's owned by the same people that own Alderman.
I'm wondering if they did some like fucked up now,
this would be a deep conspiracy that I am happy
to start. Actually, but this really I want to read it.

(08:10):
I'm putting my thinking cap on, I'm tying it all
so in World War Two, like Hitler's Germany Blade right
now it loud. Hitler took the residence from the A string,
which like for a long long time used to be

(08:31):
I think four thirty. I'll have to look it up.
But um, he changed it because it sucks when we
hear it. It sucks up our mind a little. It's like, um,
but the original like a string is like the same
hurts as the universe, and like all of the classic
composers use this type of hurts. And then Hitler got
it and he changed it, and he realized that it

(08:53):
made the mind kind of disobey and like fight against it.
And I'm wondering if the same people start a trader
Joe's did some ship like this? Wow? Wait, so you're
saying Hitler discovered that if you play like an a
like the note, if you change the hurts, if you
change the frequency on it. And it's a subtle thing.

(09:15):
But then it starts like this, what is the word
I'm looking for human dissonance? Dissonance? Maybe that's it, but
it starts us to go down like a negative. It says, Okay.
This article is about the legendary music frequency of four
two hurts, which supposedly resonates with the universe and all
living things, but in a scientific way. Wait, so where
does Hitler come in? So he changed it like it's

(09:37):
like a subversive thing. Anyways, we're going too far down
to drip down this rabbit hole. But I do agree. Alright, Oh,
well that's okay. So they said that they've switched it
from four thirty two hurts to four or forty hurts
with the intention of making people feel bad. By making
people feel in a certain way, the Nazi state would

(09:58):
turn them into prisoners of a cheerless my and said,
cursing them to live a morbid life of sad consciousness. Yeah,
which I'm never happy in that store. I've talked before
on this show about the study that basically explained ghosts
and hauntings by a type of sound called infrasound. That's
basically it's like the opposite of a dog whistle. It's

(10:19):
like too low for the human ear to hear, but
it vibrates. It's such a frequency that you immediately feel dread,
and sometimes it vibrates in a way that your eyes
start seeing figures like off to the side. So I
don't know, I think for It's not gonna be the
first time I've said this on this show. Was onto something. Okay,

(10:43):
what else is over it? Um? I think the BuzzFeed
Facebook YouTube tutorials of like how to like when they
do like cheap crafts and they're like, this is a
life hack. I hate. I hate all life hack videos.
Let me learn it myself. Right right where your hoodie
back where it's filled with popcorn and just eat face first,

(11:05):
like it's a feeding back that actual life that must
feed suggested at one point, it was like out of
your hoodie, just like show somebody at a movie theater
with a hoodie filled with popcorn. They show him because
use your hands when you're eating popcorn. Like now you

(11:25):
can just dip your face into the buttery greasy. Yeah,
like having a greasy face. Yeah, I like getting it
all over myself. It's great because after you put you
put the hood on it just it naturally moisturizes your
head residual grease. Such a good idea. What a life hack? Alright?
What's a myth? What's something that you know to be false? Okay,

(11:46):
the most people think it's true. Okay, So in our hometown,
I was thinking about myths and like whatever. It is
in the back of our elementary school. And this is
like a really tiny town. I think there's people now,
but it was like smaller back in the day, so
and it's really on the middle of where it's not
like there's a big shitty outside of a big um.
There used to be this field and it had like
a grove of trees actually right next to the little

(12:10):
river and um at like recess and like school, you
could just kind of like run around and like play
in these fields. But then our teachers was like, don't
go back there. That's where the goat man lives, and
like that became this huge like local myth and like
legend like growing up that there was like this evil
goat man and by goat man we mean like a humanoids,

(12:31):
so everybody was always afraid and something. I lived down
the street from the school, so like I used to
play there like after school and at night, and then
I would be like the goatman's watching. But in hindsight,
I think it was just a man doing myth, you know,
was there some physical presence? There was always like there's
a shed back there, right, So maybe your teacher was

(12:52):
just kindly trying to keep you away from someone who
might have struggling with drugub right, not put the children
at risk away from the goat man. You know, saw
his goat feed right, Yeah, that's actually true. Like goats
are always like eating like just any weird ship And
is that true? Is that like that's true right now,
that's true. They can eat like makes you want to

(13:12):
chew on everything. So wo okay, speaking from experience, Oh yeah, down,
a lot of the behavior that like meth users exhibit
just is really creepy, like possessed, like haunted behavior, like
walking around in circles and then like digging holes in
the Yeah, I mean once you enter like meth induced psychosis. Yeah,

(13:36):
that will really like a scene from a horror movie.
So yeah, maybe all of our myths and like boogeymen.
Growing up, it sounded like you had an upbringing where
they were talking about goat men too, Like we had
windowless vans driving around like I mean, perfect place to bake.
Myth we used to win school was by shopping mall

(13:56):
and sometimes like old people would just kind of hang
by the perimeter to watch people practice sports. That was
the weird thing, like just people watching children at one time. Okay,
so one time there was a pe teacher we had
and we never knew what happened to him, disrespector and
he vanished and we didn't know what happened. Then one
day eighth grade before graduate, our homecoming game. He was
homeless and he was at the perimeter of the fence

(14:17):
like watching us play our homecoming game. He passed away,
like like years later, it turned I was very we
don't know, like I think, I think you had alcoholism,
and like that's why he lost his job and then
ended up on the street. And it was crazy because
at the time we're like, no, no one knows what
happened to him. And then he showed up and we
saw him through the thing. We're like, yo's that miss
respect So yeah, and then everyone is still like we

(14:38):
don't know what happened. I think to make this more
broadly applicable, I do think a lot of the times,
like in spooky situations or like spooky disappearances or whatever,
the spooky news man, they're the worst. I think a
lot of the time it's like substance abuse. It was like, oh,
he disappeared because he was you know as a kid. Yeah,

(14:59):
that was like the easy to explain stuff kids like,
we don't know, Yeah, that's the world. Guys. Also, like
a lot of the when you talk to police about
like the craziest ship they've ever seen and stuff, it's
stuff that when it's described to you, it's like, man,
that's horrifying, like what a crazy violent thing. But then
they're like, no, they were just drunk, Like they were
really drunk people who made like terrible decisions or yeah, yeah,

(15:25):
here we go. Although I get to see that video,
shame on those officers that told his PCP gave you
superhuman strife like that, because I remember why fucking Dare
Officer Officer Charles said a guy through a dumpster at
him at Jack in the Box and I was like, bro,
tell me why I look on YouTube every fucking week
looking for someone dusted just throwing a car or something

(15:45):
like that. I've not seen anything of like, you know,
because in Derrick class, they would act like people got
on Like I think DARE was secretly the PCP lobby
because like they, y, we got a game today. They
made all the stories they made up about other drugs
were like, you know, smoking weed gives you boobs and like, oh,

(16:08):
they that's what they pushed into here. Yeah, they didn't
even bother their mind. They're like, smoking weed is cool,
and we can't argue that PCP don't work around No,
they But then PCP gives you superpowers. The message that
I heard. All right, let's get into the stories of
the day. We're trying to take a look at what
people are thinking and talking about today. And uh, we

(16:30):
did want to bring up something that happened over the weekend,
which I think a lot of our hopes for the
upcoming elections were dashed. So speak, um what what happened?
So gosh are our great hope for for a new
future of America, new vision of a more inclusive America.
Stacy Dash from Clueless she was running for California's forty

(16:54):
four congressional district and uh on Friday she announced that
she will be actually withdrawing from the race because she
didn't realize how bad of a look it was for her.
I guess. Uh. So, she was running in a district
that like covers parts of like Compton, Watts, San Pedro,
North Long Beach, uh and is a solidly democratic area
and as we know, miss Stacy Dash is a very

(17:17):
problematic woman of color who basically I don't know if
she's she's definitely fully funked up off the Fox newskool aid. Uh.
And you know she said stuff like why do we
need Black History Month? Like why do we need b et?
That's racist? Like that's sort of like her her ideological viewpoint. Uh.
And yeah, part of it was sort of like, oh,
you know, I realized that this race would be a

(17:37):
heavy burden on my family and blah blah blah, Like
it was just a way to try and like rage
quit without looking like you're you just realized it was
an unwinnable thing and you didn't want to take els
repeatedly until November, So, you know, shout out to you.
You tried, but we know you were never gonna win anyway.
So I hope this gave you enough notoriety for whatever
your real goal was, whether that was like to be

(17:58):
like put yourself in the shop window for to get
back on TV or whatever, be a pundit. I don't know,
but see you later. That's what Kid Rock did I know? Yeah? Yeah,
these these people who just think, oh, you need is
fame to succeed. Uh, you need fame and uh, just
like a crippling, weird personality disorder that just perfectly fits

(18:19):
into our political and media lansa which like our president. Yeah,
or the one quote at six, she's like, I believe
that the overall bitterness surrounding our political process, participating in
the rigors of campaigning and holding elected office would be
detrimental to the health and well being of my family. Yeah, yeah,
of course not. But what do you think You're trying

(18:39):
to be a person of color and like a trumpeist
in Long Beach Watts. Yeah, that was always gonna be tough.
I don't know where you thought you were running in,
what platform you were on. I feel bad saying she
didn't write that, but she might have written that, always
thinking what these press releases, somebody else writes it. She's
definitely not this eloquent when she's like ripping down Obamacare

(18:59):
and saying like Obama's or whatever, the you know what
I mean, Like, yeah, she was Obama. No, No, I
was just gonna say. I think a lot of people
underestimate the fact that Trump spent so he had that
ridiculous run for presidency in two thousand twelve. I think
where it didn't go anywhere, and then he went on

(19:21):
his like birtha ship. But he spent those intervening years
just like NonStop ingesting talk radio and so so that
he had the crazy you know, right wing ideas down
to like his instincts. So he was like, you know,
I I think it's important to keep in mind that
he is a badly damaged person. And that Obama speech

(19:46):
where he you know, made fun of him and dropped
the mic like gave him just motivation, Like he is
just so hollow on the inside. Whereas all these other
famous people like Stacy Dash, Kid Rock, they're famous and
like they haven't had to work hard for like many years.
I'm sure they're they're just like saying, I mean, Kid
Rock grew up like upper middle class, right, Okay, now

(20:12):
why didn't you guys bring this up here? Kid Rock
had a tennis court struggling. She looked like she's twenty
two for seventy years now, right. I think generally the
response to fame is that you stopped developing as a
human being at that point, and you just like this
is why I think so many celebrities don't know how

(20:33):
technology works because they just have assistants who answer all
their emails for them and stuff. But Trump, because of
his just horrible sucking wound where his soul should be. Uh,
you know, was NonStop standing up all night ingesting talk radio,
on Fox News and everything, just with a single mindedness
of purpose of I'm going to run for president party.

(20:56):
And I was in the lab exactly because in this
right wing bullshit. Yeah, he got a great hoodie on
his ship. Right speed reading mine conflict read, but don't
underestimate how damaged he change that hurts from all. Right,

(21:21):
let's let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we're back. And we were just talking about comparative
burger chains because Texas obviously everyone has water Burger pride

(21:44):
for water water Burger, water water Burger. I remember first
time it was like, is it water water burger made
of water? I don't know. Miles you ride for in
and out? I mean in and out? Is the best
drive through Hamburger in l A. Yeah, that's all. Uh,
nobody anymore, man, nobody anymore. You see nicked up. He's

(22:06):
in there with the crown on right now off He's like, well,
you can't have it your way. I think the one
thing I will say is that fast food on the
West coast is just better. Like if you go to
a McDonald's on the East coast, first McDonald's on the
West coast, the burgers and like all the food is
just better on the West coast. Really, Yeah, he's a drifter.

(22:28):
A drift. I love reasonab fast food, Like I like
runs a they got that out in Nebraska, or like
Lion's Choice. I've had that because do I get around
and I I get the munchies, very feeling, and I'm like,
what's what do you guys eat for no reason? Sometimes
sometimes I just drift out there. But anyway, we're Miles
is a love digest. Miles has a dark period, and

(22:51):
if there was a very dark period. Yes, political operative,
All right, let's talk about the president's obsession of the
day dujre. Uh that sounds good, I think, yes? Uh
so he he seems to be obsessed with Jeff Bezos
right now. We talked a little bit about him coming
after Amazon instead of Facebook on last week's show. Yeah,

(23:15):
but yeah, what what's going on here? I mean, look,
he has been having it out like since Friday or Thursday.
He was kind of making sense and he's like, we
gotta look at Amazon, man, like I think they're getting
too powerful or whatever. And people are like, did he
just like suddenly mistakenly fall into like a good point here? Uh?
But then over time, like it started getting crazier than
he was talking about, like you know, the Post Office

(23:37):
getting bamboozled by Amazon doing all these deliveries, etcetera, etcetera,
And it was just kind of a weird thing, like
since March because of all the Twitter bullshit. Uh, like
around sixty billion dollars in market value has been lost
for Amazon. Um. And so when you look at it, yes, okay,
if you take point by point, is Amazon getting pretty big?

(23:57):
I think that's worth looking into and and looking around
and see maybe y'all got a lot going on and
or probably we need to do something about that. Sure,
they probably need to be regulated. Yeah, valid point. Uh.
And then so on to the next one. The post Office. Okay,
are they really getting funket? Well, that's not true. I
mean he's acting like they're running a deficit, like it's

(24:19):
an actual profitable relationship because legally, like I don't think
the Post Office can make deals with companies unless it's
a profit they're gonna enter relationship with a company and
then take a hit. So that's just an outright lie
that the Post Office is like losing money, like it's
a profitable thing. So when you take all of that
in and you look around, you're kind of like, Okay,
what's going on? Because now Trump's like, well, how do

(24:41):
we get bezos? Like there's been reporting about how he's
you know, asking people his aids, like how can I
funk with him? Like funk with his money? And if
you think about it, you're like, wait a second, he
owns the Washington Post, and yeah, that's probably why he
wants to funk with him, because the Washington Post has
been doing very good reporting. Uh and like I mean

(25:02):
not they're not always flawless, but they've been pretty good. Uh.
And they've been regularly handing the president else. So I
think that's why he's in his feelings now and he's
like the Access Hollywood tape. Yeah, and he's also trying
to be like, you know, like, well, I heard the
Pentagon is doing a cloud computing deal with Amazon. How
can we tank that? That's like a multibillion dollar deal? Uh.
And again this is just all because I think the
Trump has convinced himself that somehow Jeff Bezos is in

(25:24):
the editorial offices. Yeah, I see Post being like, you know,
run this story, just make this thing up, and you know,
the Post and Bezos have explicitly been like, yo, I
have nothing to do with editorial decisions, and they're like
the one thing I weighed in on I think was
like a tagline, like a slogan for the paper. But
other than that, that's been it. Uh. And it's been

(25:45):
such a weird tantrum that even like business people on
Fox are like, yo, yo cool. I would be like this,
this is causing like massive fluctuations in the stock market
just because like you don't realize as president you can
say some spicy ship and it affects of rebodies portfolio.
And it's funny to hear people on Fox be like
I wouldn't name companies explicitly, but so you know, yeah,

(26:08):
I think I heard Sean Hannity specifically say yo cool
out be unless Yeah He's like, yeah, today's message to
the president. The president is so his policy is so
determined by his whims, you know, like he struck down right,
he's ego centered, and he struck down that consolidation merger

(26:31):
because it involved CNN. I mean, some people speculated it
was maybe because of that. Now you know he hates
Bezos for the Washington Post thing. Also, let's be honest,
it's because he's the richest man in the world. Trump
has richest man in the history of the world, right,
and Trump has always passed himself off like that's his image.

(26:52):
I'm the rich guy. I'm the richest guy in the world.
Are the cartoon Bezos could funk with him, be like, bro,
I could buy you, and I do you want me to?
I can? I can help you out. Well if anything
too was like pret Berrara, he tweeted something He's like, yo,
what if Bezos just bought Twitter and fucking close Trump's
account to be petty, because like Bezos could easily buy

(27:13):
Twitter for nothing, you know, for for being the richest
man on earth. And it's just a funny point. It's like,
you know, he could get real petty with you because
he has like money. Do you think he like work
works or he's just like sure at a certain point
he did. And then I think I would imagine like
a snowball effect, right, like Obazos is probably what Google

(27:34):
image him. Yeah, I bet he doesn't doesn't sleep at
all and just stays up worrying about, you know, every
last penny in his Uh. I don't think you get
to be that way while being mentally balanced. I mean
these photos of him just looking jacked in like a
down vest, like in aviators on them, like he's about
to go fucking murder, some kind of socialist what do

(27:57):
you mean capitalism? I thought he for sure was a
movie extra in that photo. I was like, who's this guy?
And then I was like, oh, that's owner man. He
looks like what's homeboy's name? Who's doing the state farm commercials? Oh? Yeah, yeah,
yeah j K Simmons. Yeah, looks like he's doing a
version of j K. Simmons swag. But yeah, so you know,
he's in his feelings. The rich man of the world

(28:18):
owns a paper that regularly shames him, so yeah, why
not try and do all kinds of weird ship as president,
like asked the Post Office to renegotiate deals with companies
like come on, bra Yeah, And I mean companies know
that Trump is determined by uh, you know, whims and
by you know, his personal allegiances and how he's feeling

(28:39):
at any given moment. Did you just discover something interesting
about Jeff Bezos? A couple of things. He's a George
Straits cousin, really like second cousin or like first to
pop it up here, But they did lose nine point
six billion on regulation fears. But we got to do
this because I also heard that George Strait was actually
a marketing major for like, um, the king of country.

(29:02):
George is Jeff Bezos's cousin. Yeah, what makes a lot
of sense when you're thinking about it. Yeah right, I
don't know. I mean, I actually don't know enough about
George straight to know spent ten hot summers on his
grandfather's cattle ranch in Catula, Texas. And his cousin is
country singer George Street. Yeah, look at that. So is Bezos?

(29:26):
Is he a texed um? Well, his grandfather is definitely
doesn't have a Texan vibe. He was born in Albuquerque,
New Mexico. He seems like he's more from outer space. Oh,
he had a cameo in Star Trek, so he was
from outer space. Peep that we should have busted that
George Street, miss, I know, well, hey, look this is
this is something I have to look into. Just going

(29:47):
back to the subject of the president's whims determining policy.
I think companies are onto this, which is why people
are speculating that that whole Sinclair thing we covered yesterday,
the super cut everybody he saw of all the different
local news channels delivering the same message about fake news,
that was basically a beat for beat reconstruction of the

(30:09):
president's talking points. People suspect that they are doing that
because they are trying to purchase a bunch more channels
from Tribune Media, and they want to make sure that
that gets approved by the president, and so they're kissing
his ass by just basically regurgitating his talking points while
also keeping it a political enough that it's not it's

(30:30):
just vague enough. That vague enough you could argue that, no,
that was totally a political actually that statement. So yeah,
but that story, and also the caravan story, which just
stays in the headlines exactly. Trumb is keeping the story
about the caravan of migrants from Central America coming up

(30:52):
through Mexico in the headlines. And now he's claiming he's
going to use the military to protect our border, just
fucking you know, use some gatling guns. What the funk
is he gonna do for what nine people? Yeah, So
it's it's a perfect news story for him because it
has like a potent image that's like it's almost like

(31:13):
they're being invaded, right, but they're there, but he's he's
like picturing it like the fucking mad Max group of cars,
like where the immigrants are, Like there's a dude that's
like yeah. Or when you go to the Drudge Report
right now, their top story is Trump sending military to
boarder caravan valves March, and they have a big picture

(31:33):
that looks like it could be like a zombie horde.
It's the backs of all these people's head right, It's
World War Z is how they're trying to portray it.
And right, and a couple of pieces of context. This
has happened. We we talked about this yesterday, but it's
worth emphasizing this has happened annually for the past couple
of years, and when it has happened in the past,

(31:54):
it did not become national news because nobody brought it
to Trump's attention, and it's also not that significant amount
of people that you can make it big news. Aside
from the sort of statement that they're making a seekings. Right,
it's a group of about people, most of them Hondurans,
but they're mostly planning on stopping short of the U. S. Border,

(32:16):
and most of them are staying in different Mexican cities
and only about two hundred of them are going to
continue on to the U. S. Border. So we're talking
about a group of two hundred people who are coming
to the US border, which is about the same number
that have come in years past, and the border security
has had no problem handling them because these people are

(32:40):
there to seek asylum and go through the process of
being asylum seekers. They're not gonna be like show up
at the board and be like, all right, we're gonna
hop the fence right here right exactly, which is the
narrative he's trying to They don't overwhelm the border security.
They we don't need like military weaponry there. Uh. The
big issue in the past has been that they have
detained these asylum seekers while they evaluated each one of

(33:03):
their cases, and they do evaluate the ship out of
their cases, you know. Like I was reading a story
from the San Diego Tribune that was saying that it
was June so like months after they had crossed the
border and most of the people were still being detained,
and like, these are families of people still being detained

(33:26):
because they're still determining whether or not they want to
grant them asylum. Uh So that's something we should be
talking about, is whether they should be detained the whole time,
and you know how they're being treated. But the the
issue is not whether or not like we're going to
be able to handle them at the border, nor are
they nor is their plan to like overwhelm the US

(33:49):
border defenses. Um But this just kind of brings up
a bigger thing that keeps coming up in my mind recently.
The debate surrounding news I feel like has evolved with
the world we now live in. I think we still
talk about stories and like whether they're true or false,
Like the Sinclair thing they were, like, you know a

(34:10):
lot of people have bias and tell these fake stories
just based on their bias. And um So I've talked
before about how nine eleven, the big problem with our
ability to stop the September eleventh attacks and in the
aftermath of the September eleventh attacks was our ability to

(34:31):
basically sort through all the data that we had, Like
during the Cold War, intelligence gathering was a big thing.
It was just like you got these few scraps from
your Russian spies and then like you put them together
into a coherent picture. And suddenly, with the advent of
like information technology, we had just fire hoses of information

(34:52):
coming at us, and we didn't know how to sort
through all that information. And that made it so that
we didn't get to the nine eleven attackers before it happened,
because we knew about that, Like that was a story
you heard in the aftermath, like how did we knew
about these people but we didn't stop them. It was
because they were like one of thousands of things we

(35:13):
knew about. And I feel like the same thing is
happening with how we addressed news, Like we have just
all this news coming at us now, and the question
is not like whether some of it is false or
whether some of it is true all the time, but
rather like what we choose to focus on, And like

(35:35):
this story about the border caravan, you know, people are
focusing on this like it is this unprecedented thing and
it's something that's happened every year, and yes it's happening,
and yet like they're not making the story up, but
by focusing on it, they're misleading you. It's basically well,
and it's a story that is like we now have

(35:55):
a president where this kind of story is politically advantageous
to the president because he can weaponize and distorted to
evoke like this idea that like if it's you know,
other countries they have refugees arriving on boats and they're like, oh,
people are just crashing the shores and trying to get
in our country or or storming the gates of our
borders and things like that, and this is like kind
of that perfect imagery that he needs, and then he

(36:17):
can like pump his own dick up and be like, oh,
you know what, I told Mexico to break up the caravans,
and they did because I told him, And now we'll
have the military there to fucking shoot people who are
seeking political sound like, what the fund are you going
on about? It's it's very weird. And I think another
reason too is we also don't actually we just focus
on what is happening and not focusing on what is

(36:37):
the root cause. Right, So like, if it's these migrants,
why don't you doing some more stories about Honduras and
what it is these people are trying to escape, because
that might resonate or that might at least help people
understand the world we live in, because everything isn't just
what happened or what might happen this season on the
New Jersey Shore, which I am very much interested in,

(36:58):
but I also want to know why people are moved
being in with the situations they're trying to escape. And
I think that's another way our media does betray us
or as a disservice, is by not actually focusing on like, oh, well,
why is this happening, not just it is happening and
just being like, oh, that's and also overarching, like we
need to look at statistics, like just because the local
news reports a crime doesn't mean that there aren't fewer

(37:23):
crimes happening. Like crime is at an all time low,
but the way that people talk on Fox News and
just looking at your local news, you would never suspect
that crime is an all time loan. But it's at
an all time low, and it has been going down
for years because of you know a number of different
factors that people never mentioned, and they don't mention those.

(37:44):
Overall statistical trends because it's more interesting and just more
consumable to tell the bite size stories of the crimes. Right.
I feel like we've lost a lot of empathy in
this nation, and there's no focus on mental health. I
think like a lot of these like news channels, they
always yeah, I agree, like it's sensationalize this crime, but

(38:05):
some some people just need like mental health services, and
instead of just being like this is a crazy man,
like hey, wait, like someone who the system fails. Wait
a second, you know, yeah, Akerman too brings that up,
you know, the mental health that's pretty deep. When Kanye

(38:27):
came out, I mean, everything we're saying is basically summarizing
the points made an anchor man. They don't give away
the secret to our philosophical north star is little, no effect.
But yeah, I think that's another reason too, that we
we never really give people context, like we expect people
to already know or we have to explain to them, like,

(38:47):
you know, especially when you think about how segregation works
in this country, A lot of people just go, oh,
like an unarmed black person was shot or whatever, and
not many people understand how through like legal agregation, through
like housing initiatives in this country and the highways. Yeah exactly,
we were redlining, we were making sure and again we
talked about this yesterday, but redlining was the practice of

(39:09):
identifying neighborhoods that were undesirable or where people would not
get loans and things, basically essentially to just say, keep
black people in these sections, or keep minorities in these neighborhoods,
and if they try and get out, just deny them
alone or give it at such a rate that it's
not really it's an untenable situation for them. And yeah, exactly.

(39:31):
And what people don't realize is that like especially like
as a lot of black people migrated to the North
out of the South in the early twentieth century for
like you know, industrial centers like my grandparents did. They
moved to Chicago from the South, Chicago the Dan Ryan
and in those neighborhoods, the way they were dealing with
this influx of people of color was, you know, they've

(39:52):
just created these very distinct neighborhoods that they segregated people.
And the segregation is much more intense. Like you think, oh,
in the South, that must be crazy. No, it's actually
like the Northeast and ship and stuff in the in
the Midwest, that's where it's the most pronounced. This. American
Life did an undercover story where they sent people. They
send people to enquire about apartments in New York City,

(40:15):
and it was white couple and then a black couple,
and they would go and the black couple had better credit,
better all the things that the landlord was supposed to
be looking for, and they would be turned away and
the white couple would be shown the apartment and basically
courted to go there. And so that's the way that

(40:35):
these things are enforced. It's like sort of a soft
form of segregation where it or like an invisible form
of segregation. It's not soft in the sense that it's
easy to get around well, and people who don't realize
they're like, oh, those people are just poor and that's
why they live there. It's like, no, that area is
designed to keep people in there and not coming into
other areas, because whether it's like blockbusting practices where like

(40:56):
black people would begin to move into white places and
those realtors would hire black people to create this illusion
of like a black takeover and like being like, hey,
you probably want like to a white family, Hey, you
probably want to sell your home and then jack up
the price for a black family to buy that home. Also,
like you also think about how schools and services get funded.
A lot of it's from property taxes too, So if
you're in the hood, there's not a lot of tax

(41:18):
revenue being generated, so that means the schools are underfunded.
That means the schools get more segregated. And again we
just want to act like it's it's all these other things. Again,
I think a lot of the times when we present stories,
people don't fully understand the context of even how we
get the situation. And like, one other point I want
to bring up is that, like one theory that is
going around is that obviously not it's like the theory.

(41:38):
But you know a lot of people are sort of like,
why does you know black white segregation have any kind
of bearing or influence on fatal police shootings? What's that
segregated black communities are just more heavily policed than others?
And in a study from thirteen showed that in Milwaukee
in Wisconsin has the highest like sort of like racism
racial index. Uh, it's it's a state racism index where

(42:01):
it basically takes UH. It looks at things like residential segregation, disparities,
and educational attainment, employment status, economic status, incarceration status UH,
and they score each of these. Wisconsin tops the list
for all of these for when you when they factor
all these things in and when they looked at Milwaukee specifically,
the state's largest city, half of black men between the

(42:21):
ages thirty and forty have been in jail at some
point in their lives, and the city zip code five
three two oh six is black and has the highest
incarceration rate like anything in any county there. So basically
what happens is the more segregated a place becomes your
only underlying people's biases that are fed by the news.
Where if you if you think, oh, you're only showing
news about people of color or like the violence being

(42:43):
bad in like uh in these neighborhoods, then immediately the
police are gonna be like, oh, well, now I'm in
a black neighborhood. I'm not in oh I deal with
regular people who might not have to get shot. I'm
immediately on the defense because now I'm in this crazy thing.
And like there's all these subtle factors all play into
sort of how we relate to the world. And yeah,
I think it's a very important thing for people to
kind of realize all of these stories have much more

(43:05):
complex context. I feel like that's really Like I lived
in Chicago for about ten years before I moved out here,
and like Rama manual is just systematically shutting down schools
like an impoverished neighborhoods. And then I just pulled it up,
like Chicago closes more schools and black neighborhood Chicago students
ad budget cuts. It's all of this stuff, like and
then there are these like some of my friends were teachers,

(43:25):
and I don't know if this is true or not,
but they were telling me that um Ram had this
like initiative of like, look, we're building new schools and
new charter schools, but these schools were empty because he
was adding them in neighborhoods that didn't need them, or
like prominent neighborhoods where like neighborhoods on the West Side
or even the South Side, and and some up in
the north like an uptown where you really needed it,

(43:47):
they weren't getting them and he was just shutting them down. Yeah,
I mean, and in Chicago. Like a story that I
hadn't really connected to the current spade of violence and
murder was that they shut the Cabrini Green Housing project
down like a number of years ago, and that was
a high crime area, but they basically turned it into

(44:09):
high income living area and didn't give all the poor
people who had lived there before a place to go,
So like that created just a horrible displaced people. Yeah,
so I don't know these are, uh, we're kind of
all over the map, But I do just want to
talk about Jeff Bezos. If you're just listening in Jeff Bezos.
It was a problem. Jeff Bezos, he started this whole thing.

(44:33):
But I do think, you know, it's important to keep
in mind that the our role as news consumers is
not just to look at individual stories and determine, you know,
whether they're true or not, but to actually find the context.
And you know, the redlining story is a story that
I just learned about on that this American Life episode

(44:56):
like four or five years ago, and I fucking that
I couldn't believe that I hadn't been told that. That's
like the most important story of the twentieth century when
it comes to like how American life has lived in
the current world, and it puts all these different things
in perspective, but it's not talked about talked about it.

(45:16):
But I think we're now coming into a world where
we have access to all this different information and you know,
this new generation has the ability to you know, find
those important stories and tell those important stories. I've seen
a lot of people, a lot of zeitgangers out there
doing the good work and telling people about the British
Cold Guest study, either in the context of the gun conversation,

(45:41):
and you know, redlining is another one of those stories
that is it's like a keystone. It's when we got
again Nicole Hannah Jones on this show, Right, we really do,
but she's amazing. But yeah, again, I think we we
do definitely do people disservice, not like we as a show,
but just at the people and you like journalists by
not at least telling people why like sure, there's a caravan, right,

(46:03):
but also explain to people why there's this caravan, Like
there's just big fans of Dodge. It's actually being paid
for by Chrysler. Check out this caravan. Huh. They're running
from something they need help from. Something and it's weird
because again, you know, there was like this Netflix show
we brought up called Go Back To Where You Came From.
It's like an Australian reality show where a lot of
like sort of anti immigrant xenophobic people had to actually

(46:27):
understand where the refugees were coming from and what they
were escaping, and many people, Oh, it started to click
for them because you know when you're that in proximity
of truth, like you can't deny them, and then you
instantly oh shit, okay, I get it. There were also
like stories about UM when Ice was coming into town,
like especially like small Texas towns, like it was like

(46:47):
a meat manufacturing town, Like that's like a slaughterhouse town,
and UM, people they had worked with for years, decades,
all of a sudden gone and then the like town locals,
we're like, oh my god, where did this person go?
He was deported? No, they they're only supposed to do
the bad guys and not realizing like this is going

(47:08):
to affect everything and people you know and people you
care about. But it's like that context of like we're
keeping the wall up to keep the bad womans out.
It's easy to say that in Middle America where you
probably don't have much interaction with people like immigrants, or
or have firsthand experience with the outside world, or just
you know, My community was very insular. It was like
the first time I had Thai food was when I

(47:30):
moved to Chicago. I had no idea what it was,
and he thought it was shitty Chinese. I was like,
what are these noodles? But it was like everybody was
like Christian a Christians, so like for a very long time,
I was like ignorant on like Judaism and like understand
like some of my friends were like, oh, this is
a very Jewish holiday, and I was like, what does
that mean? You know, you may even Jesus Christ. Look

(47:54):
how small that fella. Come here. You're gonna want to
see this, Mom and dad. They wear these little things,
no brim on there. All right, we're gonna take a
quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back. And

(48:14):
we wanted to finally cover the story of one of
the good people teaching our children, uh doing the Lord's
work down in Florida. UM what her name is Di
and she is a social studie teacher at Crystal River
Middle School. UH in Florida, and she was known online

(48:36):
as Kiana Dalachov, which is the pseudonymous host of a
white supremacist podcast called Unapologetic, where she talked some crazy
shit about race science and uh just sere. The crazy

(48:56):
thing was, I think HuffPo outed her like March eight,
and her defense was all my comments that were quote
political satire and exaggeration, and the persona was a quote
unquote hobby. I'm a part time racist. You know, I'm
a I'm a hobbyist race I got a hobby lobby
actually is the lobby store of racist exactly, and I

(49:20):
worked there. And she was also bragging like on her show,
like she was like, you know, I'm a teacher and
I actually inject all this ship into my teachings and
things like don't know it. Yeah, they just don't fucking realize. Uh.
And so basically you know that did not uh sort
of rub parents the school district the right way. And
she only finally today resigned after much pressure. So we

(49:43):
will see what happens. But it's crazy, Like, just to
give you an example, like the kind of ship that
they were talking about her show, there was like one
episode where there's a guy on who's like, I don't
like racist either, even though probably in the most technical
sense of the word, you could probably say I'm racist
because I do believe that some races of people are
inferior and superior in certain ways. I would never say
black people are you know, crap people. Their inferior at everything,

(50:05):
but there are certain things certain races can do better.
Asians are way better at math and the aggregate than
white people, and white people build cultures better than Asian
people are black people, and we can view it all
throughout history. So that's what her guest says, and then
as a host, she responds with I think I would
align myself similarly to your sentiment there, Like I would
pretty much say, yeah, okay, if believing that certain races

(50:26):
specialize in certain things makes me racist, then I guess
that's what I am, because I do share your sentiment there.
Everything you said like meshes perfectly with what you know.
I'm kind of like thinking on the inside here. So yes,
that was a woman teaching the children social studies. Social
that is double messed up. She did say that as

(50:47):
an adult, my decisions are my own. My family has
nothing whatsoever to do with my social media accounts or
my podcast. Okay, leave my family out of it, but
what's lurking in that family's closet, you know what I mean?
A hood from them. My humbly asked for forgiveness, as
it was never my intention to cause them grief while
engaging in a hobby on my personal time. I mean,

(51:08):
the kind of retweets that she deleted were like, white privilege,
proved to me that it exists, Show me statistics that
prove what this long to get fired as, prove well
that that's because she was using her fake as you know,
Twitter name, and then was even like, this is just
just underlying her shooting as a teacher, she says, this
is a tweet that was deleted. You know, America's education
system is designed to enable victimization when teachers are forced

(51:31):
to learn about institutional racism and prove it's real when
it isn't. I literally feel brain cells dying as I
read this bullshit hashtags Sonday Morning not the No Doubt song.
So yeah, she definitely was listening to that Sunday Morning. Yeah,
so she's out of here. So and for some reason,

(51:51):
when I was picturing this happening in my mind, I
don't know what I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting
her to look so like the exact blend of all
of my teachers growing up. And yeah, she looks exactly.
If you look at this photo, you will see elements
of like other teachers. That is my teacher. Yeah, so

(52:11):
computer sounds like nice teacher eyes too. Yeah, she just
looks like get you well. Never never trust a teacher
with a kind smile. Yeah. The lyrics to poison, Uh,
I don't know. Kids, Keep an eye on your teachers.
Sorry to throw that onto your kids. Not only are

(52:32):
you in responsible for your safety is school? Please monitor
the racist behavior, make sure they're not intentionally injecting racist
ideals and der social stuf. That's all the education you need. Bro.
I didn't go to college, Bro the wall. I just
got the Wu Tang double album. Ever, it's been lovely
