Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season sixty one, Episode
four up, the Daily Seitgeist podcast, where we take a
deep dive into America's share consciousness. He's in the headline
box office reports, TV ratings, what's trending on Google and
social media. It's Thursday, December two thousand eighteen. Happy birthday

(00:22):

up like Miles Gray. Everywhere I go. Jack O'Brien is

(00:50):
over there, Anna Hosnia in her chair and dicast. I'd
really like to get to know Wow Noel Duncan dunking
on him with that a K Noel Duncan. So she
just comes with it because she's named after the season.
This is her time. Yes, well, we are throwed to

(01:11):
be joined in our third seat by a guest we
surely would like to get to know a little bit better.
She's been on the show a number of times she
is a hilarious comedian. She is sorry, j what's I
don't have an ak a, but I would like to
start associating my name with a wolf towel. So if
you guys could introduce me again and I'll just or
I could introduce you. No no, no, no, no, no, okay,

(01:35):
all right, sorry do it, say sar, and we're throwed
to be joined by Sorry ju wolf pack where my
wolf pack at? And then you just got dude, I
got a bad bullet proof again, chunky Si, chunky bullet?
When are we When are you going to learn? It's
like candy corn every year? I'll be like, no, this
won't be different. Well, no, the butter and oil congeals

(01:59):
at the hob and it's the yeah they do before
I pulled them out the refrigerator and it didn't do this.
I'm I have problems and this is not the show.
But you gotta have a bulletproof hot or else you're
just having chunks of butter coffee, which is not bad.
But it's not what you upset. No, it's it's bad.

(02:21):
It's I haven't I haven't fully recovered from the memory
of drinking you had, like an existential crisis, like just
big chunks of cocon at all. Nah, it was very
like salty and not not a good mix. Well, sorry, Jim.
We're going to get to know you a little bit
better in a moment. But first we're going to tell
our listeners a couple of things we're talking about. Google

(02:43):
has come out with their most googled terms of two
thousand eighteen, and we're going to look at the most
googled foods of two thousand eighteen. While we're on the
subject of foods, we're going to talk about the fact
that Whole Foods has been poisoning us for years and
we didn't know. We're gonna do a quick preview check
out with the democratic field, see how everybody's feeling about

(03:06):
all them candidates. We're going to look at the tech
world's latest trip to Capitol Hill, some more fallout from
that Oval Office meeting, all of that, and plenty plenty more.
But first we like to ask our guest, what is
something from your search history that is revealing about who
you are? M A recent search history term of mine

(03:27):
was is vaping halal? I wanted to know and moms
are divided on the subject, but well, the general consensus is, no,
it is not halal. It is horronto vape because it's
an intoxicant. Right, you're vaping like nicotine or weed or whatever.
It's kind of okay if you are quitting smoking, it's

(03:47):
like okay, you know it's where it's like it's not halal,
but like nobody's gonna out first in Islam? Can you
tell you what hal Halal means? It's cool? Haram means
it's not cool, so so overrated, underrated but already under it. Yeah. Yeah,
vaping is like it's not okay because it's in toxic
and you're not supposed to You're not supposed to get

(04:08):
sucked up. We're not supposed to get suck up cigarettes.
You're not suposed get suck up on alcohol. You're not
supposed to get sucked up on weed. But like does
every Muslim not drink? No, you know, so like people
do it or whatever. But interesting, vaping while haram does
not break, which is when you when you wash before
you pray, there's like a special like a washing procedure

(04:28):
before you pray so you get real clean, but vaping
doesn't break, would do so like you can still like
you could wash your hands a bunch and then vape
and then pray to God. Pretty cool. But if you
fart that breaks will do it. Yeah. If you pass out,
that also breaks will do if you pass out. Yeah, weird,
weird set of rules. Really, there's a lot of really

(04:49):
good forums where people ask a mom's like what Mohammed
said about vaping. Yeah, well that's so interesting about farting,
but like about about like modern ship. You know, it's
it's always really good. And now is that in the
Koran about farting? Uh? Yeah, but not they don't they
say anything exiting the body? Okay, oh really so a belch. Also, well, yes,

(05:12):
there's like exhale, so that's fine. Yeah, I would say
digestive gases, building and expanding them, yes, passing wind, taking ship,
passing out, and uh, falling asleep, keep sleep, you fall
asleep a little. I think it's fine. It's all really like,
it's not. I'm not I'm not Muslim? Are you vaping?

(05:34):
Is what I was gonna ask? H No, Okay, my friend, well,
my my podcast co host with a podcast comst. Drew
Nutter is a big, big vape daddy, and he recently
got a new vape and he it looks like how
from the movie two thousand and one. It's very large
and white and it has buttons on it, you know.
So I was like, your vape looks like hell? And
then I was like, is vaping hell? Okay? Train and no,

(06:00):
it's it's not really, but um, you know, no one's
gonna kick you out for it. I mean, don't vape
at a space for tone? You know, do a little?
Does vape daddy like a fetish? Like are people into
vape Daddy's like that? That's a good Google searching for you,

(06:20):
all right, my search history leather with it, right. A
vape daddy is a man who vapes with confidence. I
let's say, you know, when you've got his daddy who vapes,
he's a day got it or or vatty? What is
something you think is overrated? So I I really I
heard recently and maybe we'll talk about this later to

(06:41):
about Jack Dorsey going to a vipasan meditation retreat for
like eight to ten days, and then he came back
and he was like, here's a graph of my heart
rate while I was meditating, because he was wearing his
ring that measures your heart rate you know, wearable tech
not creepy at all. You know, a lot of regulation
around it, no worries. Um, yeah he was. I think

(07:03):
knowing all your body measurements all the time is overrated.
I think you know, every like the Apple Health and
ship things that track you. They're kind of cool in
a way. It's like, yeah, it's cool, but um, really,
I don't think. I don't know if you need to
monitor yourself constantly if you're not ill, you know what
I mean, Like if you have if you have an

(07:23):
illness or chronic illness or trouble sleeping or something, it's
very good to like keep track of stuff and it
can help find out a lot of stuff about yourself.
But but overall, I think I don't want to know
Jack Dorsey's heart rate all the time. You know. I
think that's overrated. It's probably the most relevant, overrated I've
ever brought to the table because I don't think it's awful.

(07:44):
But I'm like, yeah, well, I think it's it's for people.
If you like that data, fine, but like, are we
are we going to live for fifty years longer? Because
I don't want Jack Dorsey to live for fifty years longer.
I want him to die at a normal time. Is
his hair all long and ship right now? To the photos?
I don't, I don't know. I didn't. Okay, I thought
I saw a photo him looking hippie look like in

(08:05):
ten days his hair just grew to like shoulder length
from the strength of his meditation. No, I think he's
all right. I just heard somebody say, like, well, I
actually think Jack Dorsey is a pretty thoughtful guy. Like
of all the tech people, like tech entrepreneurs and founders,
I think he's the most you know, woke and uh
he's into mindfulness. He just went on a retreat and

(08:26):
now this has totally erased all of that. Yeah, he
wore his Apple watch and his aura ring that measures
your sleep and stuff the whole time he was at
the meditation retreat, which was like it's like in an
ashram or something, you're not allowed he you know, you're
not allowed to have a cell phone. You're supposed to
be in silent meditation for like hours and hours a day.
And he was like, I'm gonna keep my Apple watching.
He's like, well, hold on, dude, I need to check

(08:47):
my mention. Yeah, he was like they were in airplane mode.
Like they were an airplane mode. That's how I knew
like I was really peaceful, because like my mentions were
blowing and my heart was just like fucking flat chill.
He looks like fucking Hugh Laurie playing a shitty version
of Jack Dorsey. I would love to see a movie
about Twitter starring like a fake beard. Yeah, he looks

(09:10):
like a pug Hugh Laurie. Al Right, well I like Laurie.
Oh yeah, shout out to him. And incredible, incredible actor.
He's Hugh Daddy d House. What is something you think
is underrated? You know, having any sort of privacy with
your information online totally underrated. If you're still into privacy,

(09:34):
move on. Everyone knows where you are all the time.
It's chill. Companies buying and selling your data. Get used
to it, you know what I mean, everyone's polly now.
Everyone's got each other's information. You know, if you've got
a smartphone, just accept that you have no privacy. An
have a tracking device, you have a tracking device, like
you know, this is a thing that like what how
long have Hippy's been saying this, like thirty years? You know,

(09:55):
with a GPS tracking device, I mean, yeah, it's true,
you know what I mean? What I don't it is
people that are learning now and very surprised that companies
that track their locations buy and sell that information because
it's like, what else did you think they were doing well?
Because I think a lot of people didn't have the
why did people abstract what the business model was? Right?

(10:16):
Because they just thought it was like, yeah, it's Google's free,
Gmail's free, yeah, because that's just like what it is,
Like it's free, and they don't be like, yeah, how
do you sustain free? And then the guys that run
it are billionaires. Where does where's the money coming? Thought
they were just rich people who are trying to do
me a solid in the email. I think that's really
what a lot of people. I think. I'm for real,

(10:39):
Like they're trying to help the world and me by
giving me an email service. Right. It wasn't until I
had people who are working for those companies like break
down for me how it worked. I was like, oh,
like all I used to pay a monthly fee and
that's why I got my ship. Now it's like you
got the sweet message boards? Yeah, Now they just lure
you in so they can be like because we just
want to package your data, and sometimes they ask you

(11:00):
if they can get your location, and sometimes they don't.
I kind of just assume they're always doing it because
they have the ability, you know, and there's like there's
many companies that track your location and don't ask you
even though that's like pretty illegal. But the problem is
none of this is illegal right now, Like it's really
all very above board because we don't have any regulation
about it because we're like, uh, well, as we'll talk

(11:22):
about later, a lot didn't exist, you know, like we
never had to deal with this anymore or before. Rather,
but there's a I know there's a senator I believe
from Oregon who's who's trying to introduce like a maybe
a bundle of bills or maybe just one bill about
um regulating up you know, personal data, and he's it's
in the works right now, Scott. Scott. Something I want

(11:43):
to say, Scott, there's some senators from from Oregon trying
to like because there just is no legislation about this
because it was never an issue before. And then obviously
tech hasn't in Tristan, keeping it very deregulated don't make

(12:04):
it hot for us. They spent a lot of money
lobbying for that exactly, focus on Cambridge analytic. Yeah, like,
you know, people, everyone, everyone knows Zuck is going to run.
You know, Zack is going to run maybe four Like
we don't really know. But but that's why it's not
because he's so good at people and relating to people
and people, you know, he doesn't He's not gonna have

(12:26):
to do a lot of coke if he's going to
come off as a human in any kind of interaction.
He's like, I don't know, but even then, I can't
imagine what Gee, don't you imagine giving a speech? Yeah, so,
I mean he's already so anxious, Like God, I'm panicking
watching he's a programmer, Like he looks like a program.
Already sounds like a programmer and looks like a program. Yes,

(12:47):
but I agree. We we talked about this even yesterday
that you know, it's a twenty one billion dollar industry
right now already, the selling of your location. But at
the same time, they're not really connecting it to you personally.
It's just they're they're interested in the patterns. They're just
viewing you as a point of data basically, but like

(13:07):
you're a point of data that goes from one place
to another every you know what I mean, Like I
don't have like when I use Google Maps, you know,
how you have an option to set your home address,
Like I don't use that, you know, but I know
Google knows where I live because it's like where do
I go every night? You know? They know my fucking
address right exactly, and yeah they I'm more jealous than
anything because I want to know like all the ship

(13:29):
that they know about, like humans and how we actually
behave you should work for an advertising company. They do that.
They ping you when you go buy a billboard, like
if you have a certain kind of phone and a
GPS tracker um. Advertising companies that have a billboard will
be able to ping you and and see when you're
near the billboard, and then they can see where you
can go after that and how much later you buy

(13:49):
their product if you stay within a certain radius, and
they can see how it affects your travel patterns and
your shopping patterns, and like you know who wants that?
Yeah right, yeah, you guys want that. Do you think
that's cool? Do you think it's fine? Because I think
some people think it's fine, and I really don't I
feel like I'd rather have my privacy than arm companies

(14:11):
with more like aggressive data to sell me ship. Like,
I don't see where the benefit is for them to
know all of those because it makes it easier for
them to sell you. It makes the money then, But
it's a yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, if it's
a binary chosen, I'm like, well, I don't know that privacy.
What's more important like the ability of a corporation to like,

(14:32):
you know, expand their profit or your ability to walk
down a street and not have a company know where
you're going right exactly. You know. Look, if you want
to sell me something, just put CARDI being a commercial. Yeah.
If you want to get a guy on the street
getting to give me a flyer, yeah, or one of
those with the arms that go crazy. I'm like, what's
old school advertising? That oil lube chain center. If I

(14:54):
could find a way show me a big wiggly guy
I can find a way to work in advertising and
kill myself, I would do it. But I just I
don't think there's a possible you'd be very rich and
dead right. Yeah, those are the problems. Off. Finally, what
is a myth? What's something people think it's true, you know,
to be false. Um, sometimes people say, oh, Riverdale, the

(15:15):
sexy archy show on the CW. That show is mere
trash and has no political overtones. Well, I say, those people,
I don't know what they're talking about, because I now
have a second podcast. That's right, I have a second
podcast and it's only about Riverdale and how it's communist Dale. Yeah,

(15:35):
I got that Twitter account. You got that account at
d S A underscore Riverdale. We post maybe but like
once a month. This is a low key broadcast, but
Riverdale's extremely woke. There's a lot of political themes in
Riverdale season one, season two, season three, season three, right
now crazy yeah, Oh, the whole thing is about how
the town of Riverdale is being taken over by this

(15:56):
rapacious capitalist High Room Lodge Veronica's dad and then like
jug Head represents the poor who are in a gang
and they're constantly getting like Riverdale gets gentrified. The south
side of Riverdale gets gentrified in season two because High
Room Lodge spoilers, spoilers spoilers, wants to build a private
prison there. They got a very clear perspective, and you know,

(16:22):
and then we also just like to talk about who's hot,
who's in that room. I mean, you know, some people
would like to meet h Yeah, and so we got
a little bit of got a little bit of lashback, backlash,
flashback about our show because um, people got mad at
us on Twitter for associating the sexualization of miners with
class struggle. Was a complaint that we got, which I

(16:44):
take seriously. But it's ridiculous because they're not miners. Um,
the actors themselves are not miners, They're not teens. The
show is not really about teens, you know. It's just
very weird when you're like, oh, they're they're in high school.
Well yeah, they're supposed to be in high school, and
like you never see them in class. And also, yeah,
all the actors are like in their twenties, so right,
I don't feel bad about it, um, but but some

(17:04):
people didn't for being too horny. Humor jokes were doing
for humor jokes and fun, but also like the show
is deeply sexual, Like have you ever seen Riverdale The
student has sex with the one of the teachers, and
the parents of like, you should just get out of town.
I'm sorry, that's how they handle cool. Yeah, it is

(17:25):
a hotbed, hotbed of uh, you know, sin and revolutionary
activity here we go. Are you saying that the community
like operates on socialist along socialist ideals or just that
they like hide socialist ideas in it. Some of the
main characters in the show explicitly fight for socialist ideals.

(17:46):
And also in season two, Archie becomes a fascist. It
starts like a terrorist group and then by the end
of the season he has a change of heart and
he becomes anti fashion But like, I still don't really Archie.
Archie goes to prison. He has an experience in prison
that makes him rethink his trust of the cops in
the system, just like alright, guys, let's talk about the

(18:09):
most googled foods of two thousand eighteen, and we have
brought in our special Keto correspondent to produce her on
a hosnie. Listen to that energy from that Keto dio
vibrating right now. She's hovering. But the reason we bring
her in is because when you look at the most
googled food of this year, five of the fucking entries

(18:29):
are keto recipes. So keto pancakes, keto cheesecake, keto chili,
keto brownies amongst the other Cheeto cookies and chet will
be better. But it's actually Keto cookies. Huh. But yeah,
I'm like, it just shows you the power, the strength
of the Keto crazy ket wave too. I am not,
but my roommate was Keto for a while and I

(18:50):
just threw osmosis it started eating a lot less bread. Yeah. Yeah,
Now I now I know what's keto and wood isn't,
and I know what it is. I'm not Keto. You
I didn't have a need or desire to lose quite
a large amount of weight. But yeah, it's making its
way through all our brains. And my dad was on
three different kinds of it this year. I tried it
for three do three dos three. Yeah. So you just

(19:13):
said that you had made Keto pancakes this weekend? Did
you not made Keto pancakes this weekend? I've made Keto cheesecake,
which I brought in and you guys all pretended to
like it. I did know they were delicious. Yeah, face,
you were on this podcast. It's so easy. I've made
Keto cookie, chocolate chip, Keto cookies. I've made keto um.

(19:39):
I use almond flour. Nice. I also use like coconut flour.
So this is like no carbs. Is that the Keto philosophy.
It's all fat, very little sugar. Yeah, very very fat,
moderate protein, low carb. But that Keto cheesecake was sweet?
What was what was so fruit? I use for the

(20:01):
Keto cheesecake. I used the Swerve sugar, which is like
fake sugar. It's it's it's the from taking the world.
You gotta go by, You gotta go spend most of
your life savings on this stuff because it's very expensive
and they only sell it at like health food stores. Right. Yeah,
I feel like Keto is expect I feel like this

(20:24):
is a good time. I need a race yead tucks
a loaf for Keto bread. Yeah, low car bread. Look,
it's not great, but it does the job of you
thinking you're eating bread. Yeah, it's just you need something
to put things. You toast your Keto bagels here in
the office, And sometimes I smell them and I'm like yeah,
and you're like someone using white out. The other things

(20:47):
on this list were very interesting too. I feel like
we're not treating ourselves very well as a species because
most of these are like when have we ever? Right?
But these are like, it's okay. So like romane lettuce.
You know that was because of the route, because that's
not what everybody needed a romane resturant, Right, how do
I cook romane letter CBD gummies so we're treating ourselves. Well,

(21:08):
they're everybody loved. But this was a year for CBD,
C boys, ABC CBD. Uh. The gummy thing is cool.
I like that. There's just a lot of vigano. I
always felt a little weird about eating gelatine. Yeah, I'm
not vegan, but like gelatine is a little rather it's
a bone goo. I'd rather not um. And now there's

(21:29):
vegan gummies everywhere, which I think is great. Oh yeah,
we've made a lot of advances and vegan sciences and
vegan edibles people who want to get that CBD wave.
And then other ones Neco wafers. I'm surprised because we
talked about how that ship should have just been thrown
on the fucking trash sheep. It's so bad, That's what
That's what I'm talking about. And then got Jan is
pretty good but underrated, Neco waivers, underrated, Nila wafers. Wafers

(21:54):
are like currency in my preschool I remember as the
kid which banana coin. Yeah, but the thing would go
to I wonder if that had to do. It's the
Korean spice paste, like the foundation for all, like Korean
spicy pepper paste. Yeah, and that was mentioned in that
woman's really tired obituary about her potato salad or whatever

(22:15):
the fun remember the woman she was like, millennials are
ruining mayonnaise. That's what it was like. And now people
want goach or jang or whatever. But I think this
was just a hot year for Korean fusionnaise old year. Yeah,
mayonnaise is number five hundred and seventies. Oh boy, Unicorn

(22:36):
cake was the number one searched thing, which that insta
it's just because that's it, Like it's cake with a
horn on it. No, no, it's rainbow cake, right, But
it's like, but it was all about the visual of
it rather than like this was a thing to eat.
Everyone's just obsessed with like you can make this little
cake look like unicorn uniform. Yeah. People want to eat

(22:57):
things that look good and don't taste good. I find Yeah,
all those all those like pastry instagrams, I'm like, you know,
this doesn't taste it's kind of dry because you've got
to make a real you have to make a thick
cakes to be very rigid, has to be very rich.
Not a fond fan either, Nope, nope, nope, nope nopeupa
for eating. Yeah, okay, so I see the inside of
the unicorn cake. Looks like a unicorn frap from Starbucks.

(23:20):
Oh god, it looks like Cashi sixty nine. It's like blue,
it's like candy colors blue and pink white, all that. Yeah,
so seen thing. Basically super producer on a Hosnier the
way to break the Internet, come up with a keto
unicorn cake. Oh shit, there would go. We're on the

(23:41):
same page. You can imagine. You just need to get
like you could make frosting from like Swerve confection or
Sugar Holy with food coloring, and then you can make
the cake out of either almond flour or coconut flour,
use the same recipe as a cake, but you just
replace those certain items with the replaceable with nuts. Guys.

(24:03):
Her eyes are closed as she says this, and she
was just running her fingers, like Max. Once you do
and start making enough Keto things, you immediately can see
how to make the very It's like the gift of
the woman seeing the math in the air, right, just
like ketoing, She's going onto a Keto fugue. And then

(24:26):
real quick, Whole Foods is poisoning you through those little
brown boxes that you put their hot bar food into. Yeah,
somebody did a test on all grocery chains in America
and said that Whole Foods ranked by far the worst
for chemicals it uses in packaging it's popular hot food bar.

(24:48):
They found high levels of fluorine or fluorine and five
of the seventeen items tested Whole Foods for which were
containers for its salad and hot food got to keep
those bodily essences. These are the ones that like the
super biodegradable, compostable little but I don't think so. No,
those are the ones that are cardboard but on the
inside it looks plastic. Yeah, I think I think that

(25:09):
that's what that plastic. So they're they're really not they're
not compostable and they're not really bidegradable because of that.
Fall for it again, yeh, I fail free it again.
Yeah might Sorry, that's not very digestible, Yeah, for real,
it doesn't. Second, my teeth. I'm glad to know that
is plastic and I should not eat that. Yeah, it's

(25:29):
It's really a crucible of the compostable packaging industry is that,
like everything that's compostable, when it gets hot, it falls apart.
So that's why I like the compostable cups you can
only put cold drinks in because for something to be compostable,
it has a breakdown, and the heat of a compost
pile helps it break down. Underrated composting, I'm I'm heavy

(25:49):
into it now. I got a big soil saver. Oh boy,
I love to talk about pH levels. I want to
get all the tools. When compost is going right, it
should be so hot that if you put your hand
in it, you in your hands, crazy and tropic breakdown. Yeah, alright,
to think about that and we'll be right back. And

(26:23):
we're back. And I wanted to take a quick moment
to look at the democratic field because specifically the betto
Verse Bernie debate that is now sort of bubbling to
the surface. Uh, some of the people on the Biden
it's bidal betto Burnie. I think people just have a

(26:46):
Biden is like a fixed like a known quantity and
then like mayonnaise, right, and then right betto is and
he is miracle whip right. Well, so, you know, I
heard somebody talking about how Bernie gets like harshly criticized for,

(27:07):
you know, not having very woke politics on race, and
I started doing like research into that, and it seems
like people don't really know where to come down on
Bernie and how he feels about race. Well, he's had gaffs,
right like so during on Super Tuesday when he got
blown out by Hillary, like, it was almost like there

(27:28):
was no effort to reach out to black women who
are if you're going to be a Democratic candidate, you
need that, And there was very little effort to court
that voting block. And he said said things here and there,
but you know, it's criminal justice. Things do address those
kinds of things. He's just not a very vocally like.
I think the issue is he doesn't say enough out
vocally that people go, oh, I see him vibing with

(27:49):
people of color. Now, in the last year he's done
a lot too, I think changed that. But I think
a lot of the criticism comes from I think sort
of the lack of interest and from Hillary to from
just trying to better understand the black vote. Kind of
the two the two ends of the spectrum on you know,
white Democrats trying to appeal to voters of color. Is

(28:10):
on the one hand, you know, you've got Bernie who
just doesn't really talk about it, but he talks about
policies that affect class, which is very influenced, like race
and class are are deeply intertwined. And then on the
other end of the spectrum, you've got Hillary Clinton telling
you that she's your robola, you know, which does that help?
I have hot sauce in my bag, swag so authentic,

(28:35):
got hot sauce in my part? What kind Texas pizza?
Come on, get that ship out? It's not crystal. I
had slaves in Arkansas? Yeah, did you? Yeah? I mean so.
Sanders in two thousand sixteen said something about like how
we need to move beyond identity politics to focus on class,

(28:56):
which I get very very nervous. Yeah, exactly. It's a
big it's a big debate right now. Yeah, because people
are talking about identity politics like it's meaningless, which I
think is upsetting. But at the same time, identity politics
are not the whole sum of all politics. I feel
like it's used by certain white like liberals to suggest that,

(29:19):
like it's basically their discomfort with focusing on racial issues,
for do you have to talk about being black all
the time. But meanwhile, like the entire platform is identity politics,
and just in the reverse, it's identifying yourself as white
and identifying people of color and the LGBTQ community as other.

(29:44):
And yeah, that is identity politics, but it doesn't get
identified as such. Right, Identity politics as terms are for
people with marginalized identities who won't shut up about it, right,
exactly better definition. Right. Yeah, So when you looked at
I think what that move on pole, that straw pole
is the thing that got everybody talking about sort of like, oh,
let's according to these people, it's just about people who

(30:07):
support for members if they ended up becoming, you know,
political candidates. Polling, the best of the Democrat percent was
someone else, don't know, slash other percent Betto fourteen point nine,
Biden thirteen point one, Bernie ten percent, Campbell Harris six
point four percent, Elizabeth Warren and then on and on
and on, and Corey Booker at the very bottom at

(30:28):
two point six. Yeah, I mean, good good luck to you, Corey.
Uh so I'm very curious to know what's going on
because we know Betto has been talking to Obama, He's
been talking to Al Sharpton, uh, and Andrew Gillim. That
Andrew Gillim thing is very interesting to me that they're talking,
what they're talking about, what he is trying to do.
If he's trying to position himself to be more aggressively

(30:50):
courting people of color as part of his voting block
or whatever potential cabinet, I mean, yeah, that would be
that would be interesting. But yeah, I don't know. It's uh, well,
we will see. I just know that Joe Biden come
on now, unless he just has a radical change where
he's like completely progressive and like updates his politics too.

(31:14):
Got the rose emoji in his display name, right, which
I I just don't see happening. Like I think he
is the Joe Biden needs a pepper in his disapline,
too spicy. He's the choice for people who are like,
we just need to do Obama again the exact same thing.
Remember Obama, that was great, right, let's do it again,
but without the identity politics, right, yeah, yeah, exactly. It's

(31:37):
a very you know old Oh god, the thought of
Joe Biden running is just making me feel heavy, heavy
and board, yeah, and also worried because I feel like
enough don't who don't know, who aren't engaged enough politically
will be like, I don't see what the problem is
with Joe. But you remember when when Parks and Rack
had Joe Biden on a bunch of episodes, and like
the whole thing with Amy Poelard's character was that she

(32:00):
was like way into Joe Biden. Even then, I was like,
this isn't working for me, Like he does not have
a lot of charm as a as a states I
don't know the way he's intoxicating to white women, middle
age women. Remember that photo of him with the He's
got the biker's girlfriend on his lap and he's like
whispering in her ear and the two biker dudes are

(32:20):
like this motherfucker and she's like slick, motherfuck Yeah, And
I'm like, Joe Biden white women, but I just don't
see I don't see the appeal. I I probably couldn't
pick him out of a lineup. They had him on
the show, and I was like, I wonder if this
is the real Joe Biden. His smile will blind you them.
Ships are two of them. Teeth are so white, so white,

(32:40):
so large. Yeah, he is central casting president from a
nineties movie, like, yeah, just what a president looks like
in the nineties movie. He's not even an action movie president. Yeah,
he's like a movie about journalism president. Yeah, and that
president always ends up being the bad guy, like you,
and though it comes up in the whole time. Yeah,

(33:02):
I think like president from the robotcop universe but aspires
confidence in the populace, but then he's secretly building a
robot cop. Yeah, exactly. I feel like there's sort of
frustration from all sides, Like people on the far left
and like Democratic socialists are concerned that Bernie is being
criticized for his racial views, and then people who are

(33:26):
like more center left are concerned that people on the
far left are criticizing Bett. Oh, and I think we
need to just be okay with everybody being criticized until
we have a candidate, like just for the news to
take its course. Yeah. Why do people wanna perfect? I mean,
I guess why do people want a perfect candidate? But

(33:48):
why why do people keep expecting a perfect candidate, especially
in this system we have Yeah, you're not coming out
of here unscathed. It's a really interesting time I think
now and people are starting to talk about class now
and and a big part of that is Bernie. Bernie
was like really mainstreamed talking about the working class again
in a way that the Democrats really haven't for a

(34:10):
long time, and they certainly haven't explicitly for a long
time talked about raising up the working class, even using
using the terms working class families. But where does the
Democrats money come from. It doesn't come from working class families.
Maybe it did fifty years ago, but it doesn't anymore
because their policies have not really helped working class people.
I mean, everybody knows that the rich have gotten richer

(34:31):
and the poor have gotten poorer in the class gap
has just widen and widen and widened. So anything that
either party has been trying to do to help the
working classes obviously not fucking working. So but now we're
coming up on this weird sort of framing um and
and I do believe this is like it is being
framed as this in order to weaken it. UH, this
idea that class uh class politics and a class based

(34:55):
analysis of politics and economy are at odds with a
race based and now assists or with the gender based analysis,
the identity politics analysis, when in fact it's just another
factor and it's it's all intersectional. Yeah, absolutely, it's not
an either or thing. But they're being pitted against each other.
And this is something that honestly Republicans have been doing
since the thirties to you know, destroy any kind of

(35:18):
unionization of marginalized groups in the working class. And it's
just kind of the same thing over again. But it's
it's very weird to see, Well, the smoke bombing isn't
is slowly starting to not work as much as they
used to, like where they would obscure and be like okay,
now y'all fight. Yeah man, we were both poor. Yeah,
and it's been like so many years of them doing
this and we're like, wait a second, that didn't work,

(35:39):
and that didn't work, and that didn't work, and like
the only thing that worked was really radical ship that
then people got murdered by the FBI for when it
got too far. You know, they were like, okay, we'll
give we'll civil rights. Okay, fine, ship to the people died,
Fine you can vote now white people. Yeah, No, no, no, no, no, no,
time to kill Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Like, that's

(36:00):
the line is poor people teaming up. And that was
the thing that you know, made him very unpopular in
the lead up to his death with white America was
the idea of him that's that's too far, you know,
that's that's crossing the line. Yeah. And I think the media,
which black people, okay, poor people no, no, no, no, no. Yeah.

(36:21):
And I think the media is somewhat complicit in this.
I think, like we we've talked before about how the
Dean scream was somewhat Yeah, that that was that was
sort of fabricated by the media to be a like
he did scream like that, but it was because he
had no It sounded crazy because he had a noise

(36:42):
canceling microphone, and so it sounded crazy because it was crazy.
He cares, you know what I mean, that's the thing
they but they made it a point. I don't think
we even have to, you know, explain why he did it. Nobody. Yeah,
all of these things are like really inflated. Yes, And
I do think that the center media, the mainstream media,

(37:05):
takes takes it upon themselves to protect capitalism capitalism with
this idea of electability like well, Bernie Sanders just isn't electable. Yeah,
like people are too stupid to vote in their own interests.
Is really the wonder I wonder when the left left
media will turn on Alexandria Kazio Cortez. Though. What's the

(37:25):
left media? I mean, like the MSNBC's of the world
where they're sort of like you know they are, but
not not like in the way where they're full on trying.
I mean they buy into like the really stupid, vapid
headlines of like oh, she messed up this thing or whatever.
But you know, like on Fox, they're in full on
like terror mode I'm talking about when they're like they
tear her the funk down. Like now they're just started

(37:45):
being like, well she seems like a spirited young they're
more dismissive right now. I think it's going to be
when she starts implementing policy really and also if she
speaks it more about about Palestine. I think that's really
going to be because that's been what she's been torn
down for most on you know mainstream media. That's us
liberal um is you know, being being called anti Semitic
for for opposing Israel, right right. I think the one

(38:08):
good thing with her that will make it difficult for
them to tear down is she's got a Trump like
unflappable nous on Twitter, Like she's just like, you're not
fucking knocking me off my message home. She's like, I'm
a twenty nine year old Twitter literate millennial getting my
mention to see what happened. You want to quote tweet
me poorly, I'm going to do it for it. Yes,

(38:30):
I'm trying to thread this ship, all right. Speaking of
Congress being in the mainstream political elite being somewhat out
of touch with the realities of our world, the CEO
of Google visited The Hill on Tuesday, where he faced
a grilling. On the one hand, you know, hardline conservatives

(38:54):
were performing for the cameras with their uninformed questioning around
the conspiracy that Google is biased against conservative views and
like screens searches or conservative results. And then you had
Democrats pressing for answers on all the data mining and
just violations of privacy that we talked about a little
bit earlier, and the near monopoly they have, which is

(39:17):
very dangerous and should be the only focus of this.
But then there was also the dudes like Iowa Nazi
Steve King, who just clearly didn't understand technology and treat
it like when you go to an older relatives house
and they're like, here, let me show you this thing,

(39:38):
and it always turns into you being their tech support.
Your gee. My mom called me ten times yesterday because
the Uber app on her phone had disappeared. Yes, I
still don't know, like I think she deleted it by accident,
and then she said it's open or what I really
have No, I still have no idea what to put
it in a folder? She put it on the home

(39:59):
screens rags on another icon that the maniac for long pressing.
She's always like, do I want to Yeah, she goes,
it's wiggling. I don't know what to do. All right,
I'll come over anyways, let's here d Steve King's highly
informed questioning of the CEO of Google. I have a

(40:21):
seven year old granddaughter who picked up her phone before
the election, and she's playing a little game, kind of
game a kid would play, and up on their pops
a picture of her grandfather. And I'm not going to
say into the record what the kind of language was
used around that picture of her grandfather. But I would
ask you, how does that show up on a seven
year olds iPhone who's playing a kid's game? Congressman iPhone

(40:46):
is made by a different company, and so you know,
I mean it might have been an android. It's just
it was a hand me down to some guy. Uh,
you know, I guess I'm happy to paulled open on
the specifics. There may be an application which was being
used which had a notification, but I'm happy to understand

(41:07):
it better and classified for you. Okay, thank you for
your testimony. And it's just like, Okay, I thought I
would get him on that one. That guy has worked
in tech support. You can tell yeah, like yeah, he's
an engine. He's like okay, um, let's talk about this
later so you don't embarrass yourself. I understand your concern sir.
I have a lot of tickets though, and again the

(41:27):
whole thing of like how does my granddaughter finding out
I'm a racist nazi taint scab? Like? Like what did
it say? Was it like Steve King is a cocksucker?
Like what? Maybe? Unless it was like a want head headline,
I can't imagine any thing that had like an outright
aggressive ship. That would be like unless he really does
take offensive the fact that people do point out that
he's not think and he was like, how did I

(41:49):
mean not? Also like, why does your seven year old
have a smartphone? Man? Like, why do you use there's
kid protect because the parents can't be bothered to entertain
the kids? Or sorry, m might have been an and
or you don't even know if your kid has an
iPhone or an Android? Do what kind of grandpa are you? Right? Also,
it had to be a Nexus phone if he's gonna
answer directly as the head of Google, Okay, not just
some android, that's just the operating system. Okay, next, angry

(42:11):
tech support guy Miles come in, thank you. Next, But no,
that's other loss for the olds. By the way, I
didn't realize how old Steve King is. He's just like yeah.
A lot of people were just asking really weird things,
Like another Democrat was like, how come when you search idiot,
Trump's name comes up, and they're like, it's called gaming

(42:31):
the algorithm and read it and people just you know,
you upvote this ship enough you can just change out. Honestly,
terrifying how little every elected representative knows about basic Internet, yes,
you know, but the Steve King thing, I mean, clearly
his granddaughter was not playing some kids game. And then
a web page just spontaneously opened and criticized her grandfather.

(42:55):
She was googling her grandfather plus tain't scab, and she
up a page that said he was a taint scat
and he was like, wait, well, let me see what
you're looking at there, and then she made up a
lie about how like the phone made her do it. Um, yeah,
well you know they were they were really going all in.
They were pulling up all these like just debunked studies

(43:16):
about how like it favors the left or whatever. And
one person was like, how come when you searched other
Republican tax bill it talked about how it would it
was really unfavorable to working people in the media, But
that shows you their blind spot is like are they
so up there? I mean they must be so up
Their own asked too that they're like, I don't truth up.

(43:36):
Here's the thing they don't understand that Google is not
an objective search like Google is a search that points
you to the pages that are visited the most, and
then those pages exponentially get visited more and then their
number one in search results. Like, Google is not an objective.
The algorithm is not objective. It is not like neutral.
You get search results tailored to the search results you

(43:58):
click on. So if you search yourself, oh, Steve King,
I'm gonna name search Steve King. First thing that comes
up as Steve King is a fucking Nazi. You click
on that, You're like, who's calling me a nazi? Boom,
Google's gonna give you that. More so, like they're acting
like Google is this you know, like what I asked
God and God said my tax bill was back. Google's
not God. It's a product, right, Yeah, those questions were

(44:20):
so funny, though. There's another one about how they're just
like and this other bill, it was like lying about
this thing, and it's like it wasn't it was giving
you the analysis of like what trying to blow up
the Affordable Care Act was going to do, or what
these other things were going to do. And they're like,
it's just so I can't believe this information is so free. Right,
all right, we're gonna take another quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back. And the fallout from yesterday's

(44:55):
immediately famous Oval Office meeting between Trump, Nancy Pelosi, and
Chuck Schumer continues, and apparently the president, you know, he
went in thinking he was going to ambush them, and
he came out apparently just throwing his papers to the
floor and complaining that he got ambushed. Um, it's my

(45:17):
favorite ship because he was he was like bragging out
I got the votes, and Nacy like, we'll pull up
with the votes. Then you don't got shit. Well that's
what I got. Ship back down, you pee sitting down now.
So basically what happened exactly. Yeah, so one thing was
like he threw his ship, then he thank you exactly

(45:40):
you spit on your face. Then he basically went on
to complain about how that was such an embarrassment. He
was really piste off that Chuck Schumer wasn't even looking
at him while he was just making jokes to the press,
because Schumer was just sort of like going, what about
this asshole? That really got to fucking Trump to the
point that even like once the press left, like okay,
let's have a meeting, Like he couldn't he couldn't recover,

(46:01):
and he was like, yeah, I know when I'm being unrespected. Yeah, seriously,
and uh, One of the funniest things is like he
got really mad at Mike Pence. He felt that Mike
Pence when he powered down in front of everybody like that,
he was like, you burned me Pence. I think he's
right though. I think this is this is in keeping
with my theory that something happened with the revelations, either

(46:25):
that we know about or stuff we don't quite know
yet because of all the redactions, but with the Muller
investigation in the Southern District of New York investigation, like
last week's revelations that the Pence camp seems to have cooled.
Um and yeah, Mike Pence definitely like the memes around
what was going through his mind. We're we're a lot

(46:48):
of fun but also kind of unavoidable. When you look
at his performance, he just either choked or was like
I don't want anything. He almost looked like a spouse
of like an alcoholic who's like it inner and the
spouse is drunk and they're just like the thing, what
do you mean I can't take left over some mission buffet.
I paid for it. I'm gonna take it home. Where's

(47:10):
my food? We already ate? And then he where is it.
He was literally closing his eyes like fucking Luke Skywalker
in the last Star Wars movie, trying to like actually
project himself into another place, like please give me the
funk out of here, just visualizing Hawaii somewhere else. Yeah,
and then he said they set me up. But the
funny thing is in the Daily Beasts they report how

(47:31):
Trump initially this was supposed to be a no cameras,
behind closed door thing and at the zero hour was like,
you know what, let's bring the press in because I
think I'm gonna press him about the wall and see
how they handle it. And then got his big wind
coming up, just flipped like, you fucking idiot, you poor
poor idiots. You can't say no to those cameras for that,

(47:51):
and then just gets looks like a total ass, like
he's supposed to be Mr. Reality TV and he just
showed his ass so bad, and somehow then did the
worst thing you can do is be like, yeah, I'll
on the shut down. Yeah. At the same time, so
I did read an analysis of this on The Daily Beast,
which obviously is not a conservative place, where they somebody

(48:13):
was saying that they thought Trump actually won that in
his like weird version of reality, not just like he
believes he want it, but the people who he appeals
to would think he wanted. And the idea is that
while Nancy and Chuck we're trying to they were like,
let's talk behind closed doors because political decorum, he was like, no,
let's do it right here. And that does seem like,

(48:36):
I don't know, political decorum is popular with the mainstream media,
but for you know, the people who vote for Trump
and even just regular people, I feel like urging somebody
to do, like have the conversation behind closed doors as
an immediate like red flag. Right. Well, I think the
hit isn't necessarily like, I don't think he gains from

(48:57):
it being out in the open. I think the hit
he takes is from openly owning a shutdown if it
happens over the wall, right, And like that's the part
that isn't a good look because we're used to him
just having a hissy fit in public. Trump, I think,
like throughout the campaign has always been like, yeah, I'll
make Mexico pay for the wall. Yeah, I'll do it. Yeah.
You know, He's always that like, yeah, I'm gonna fucking

(49:17):
do it. I'm gonna do the thing is unthinkable. And
now that you know he got sort of confronted about
the shutdown, he was like, yeah, fuck it, you know,
I don't care. And then all his constituency was like,
we care. Yeah. At the same time, he's fighting for
a thing his constituents want or think they want, in
the wall, and he's willing to do an unpopular thing
to get it with the shutdown. Now, I think the

(49:38):
place that the l is really going to come is
when the shutdown actually happens. If he really does force
it and then it's a complete fucking disaster and he
still doesn't get his wall, then yeah, that's not going
to be a good look for him. Well, there was
a thing. I don't know if how real it was,
but there was some article saying that the wall was
just merely a mnemonic device for him to talk about immigration.

(50:02):
For sure, that it wasn't pnemon means, but okay, but yeah,
that's what they were. They needed it as like a concept,
as a nod to help the candidate, remember metaphor synic
to key New York, it's yeah, thank you so much.
It is a synectic. Yes, immigration, Well, you just got
an English major on your show. But holy sh it. Um.
So then yeah, and then essentially he just took it

(50:23):
literally and then his melted brain just turned it into
the thing that it's like, say the wall so they
know immigration. He's like, no, it's a literal wall that
I want it. Okay whatever. Um. But then but the
other thing is like you see, it's like he's like
someone's like, you gotta ask for her hand in marriage,
and he's literally like, I want your hand. I have

(50:44):
the hand. What I do now, Steve, I have the hand? No? No, no,
Jesus Okay. First of all, you're glad. Yeah. Well, the
Senator Kennedy from Louisiana, John Kennedy, he was like he
was basically saying, like if I were playing poker with
the president and he was across the table from me,
and he had demonstrated the face that he demonstrated in
that meeting, and I wasn't holding good cards, I'd fold
because I don't think he's bluffing. I think he's prepared

(51:06):
to shut down a really long way to say I
don't think he's bluffing. Yeah, but it's just sort of
like that you're starting to see. Also, the weird sort
of the sycophant comments steam in about like they're like, yeah,
he's digging in or whatever. It's like, yeah, I don't
think it's as clear cut a win as the media
has portrayed, or at least people who pay attention to
the media. I don't even I don't think it's a

(51:26):
I don't get me wrong, I don't think this is
a policy win in any way. This is nearly just
like a ship talking at lunch break win. His whole
campaign was I'm going to build a wall. And now
he's like, I'm building a wall, and all his constituents
are like great, and then every everyone voting for him
is like good. And he's like, I'm building a wall.
And they're like, we're going to shut down the government.
And he was like, I care, I'm building a wall. Yeah.
You know, he's like, you're going to shut down the government.

(51:47):
He's like, I'm going to shut down just repeat said
and taxpayers are gonna shut down the government down. Mexico
is not paying for it, no, but I think apparently
after the camera's left, he insisted that Mexico was still
paying for us to Nancy, yeah, I'm excited to see
how Mexican's new president is going to deal with this
because he's am low baby Manuel Lopez Opera Door. I

(52:09):
don't think, Yeah, he's he might just be like I
don't know, I don't know her. He is like, I
don't know her. He's he's pretty lefty. Yeah, he's he's like,
we're not paying for this. Um. I hope things improve
in to Juanna for those caravans, Yeah, Jesus, because now
they're trying to look for for money to like go back.
Essentially too. A lot of them were deported, were taken back,

(52:29):
and then the ones that are remaining they just have like,
you know, no financials, they have no financial recourse, they
have no resources. A lot of people in the city
don't want them there. You know. There are also racist
people in Mexico, you know, and they're like fun condorans
or whatever. So yeah, they're in a really fucked up spot.
And a lot of them are the people that are
left or people that like have kids and and are
taking care of kids, and you know, to go back

(52:50):
is a lot worse. They're waiting for asylum. There's people
are just getting sick. You know. This is what happens
when large groups of people live on the street for
a while, people start getting really fucking sick. That's why
we have Typhus in l A. Now there's typus. Now
there's Typus on skin row. Mm hmmm, that's not good. Well,
speaking of not good, yes, low energy Michael Cohen h

(53:18):
is going to prison. Yeah. My prediction he will join
the Nartagnio gang in prison to survive. Uh yeah, I mean,
there's nothing really new. He basically went up to the
judge and was like, hey, I cooperated and also my
his quote was my blind loyalty to President Trump led
me to the darkness. But the judge was like, no,

(53:40):
I'm sorry, you get three years. I don't care. Like
Robert Mueller, he was like, well, he cooperated enough, we'll
recommend you to six months. But we're the Southern District
of New York and their dealings with him, they're like, yo,
this man was not easy to work with. He wasn't
being forthcoming with answers, and he sucked around and he
found out. So he's gonna do a little three year stretch.
Some Aller recommended that he be treated with leniency, but

(54:04):
then the Southern District of New York was like Nahu
that because he pitched off all the like New York
state crimes to him, Molly kept it to like, everything
I want to know about Russia, please tell me. And
that's the thing. We still don't know what he said
about what he told Robert Mueller, so it's not fair
to assess what exactly he knows or doesn't know. But
apparently when it came to his like financial crimes in
New York, he was sort of like, so, yeah, that's

(54:26):
what you get. You're gonna do three years, uh and
go go to jail now, yeah. Uh. And then also
Mike Flynn, he also filed some paperwork before his sentencing
basically outlining why he feels like he should do no
time because he was a decorated service member of the
Armed Forces, and he was very forthcoming with Robert Mueller.

(54:46):
But the only thing that's really new about this thing
that we found out was he his lawyers are arguing
that when the FBI agents came to interview him the
first time, when they're like, just so you know, we
have you on tape talking to uh, like Russian ambassador
is about sanctions, and he was like, oh, he played
stupid about it. He was saying that the FBI agents
didn't warn him that it was a crime to lie

(55:07):
to the FBI, so that's so he can't really be
held liable for that. He literally pulled the I'm sorry,
I didn't know I couldn't do that to the guy
because he's like, well, they came in on some real
like are you telling me that I can't? I can't
want to. I can't. Oh, you're in so much trouble
and that is privileged in a nut show for you

(55:28):
when you're like, well, they didn't tell me, didn't know,
I didn't know the laws apply to me. See, that's
what the rules were. What the heck isn't that the
Dave chappellevit or I'm sorry, I didn't know I can
do that. Yeah, the speating things like trying with his
white friend, my friend gets out of a ticket by
saying sorry, I didn't know I couldn't do that, and
what they all fucked up to smoking weed like not

(55:52):
the pup. That's amazing. But what Mike Flynn did is
so so bad, Like what what he actually did was
not just lying, but he undermined the sitting US president
by going around him speaking to an enemy man, he
didn't know he couldn't do that, but like it's such

(56:15):
a huge crime. I was listening to this just kind
of straightforward review of everything that he did from these
like national security experts, and they were just like so
just like out of breath, just talking about like how
insane what he did is, like like and that he's
going to get off with like not that big of
a sentence like he should. Like it's essentially treason. It's

(56:39):
the worst thing you can do as somebody who was
supposed to be upholding like national security and like working
like swearing to protect the American people and swearing to
help America before anyone or your own self interest. And
he was just like, nah, I'm gonna I'm gonna go
talk to Russia and like secretly to deal with them

(57:00):
and then lie about it. It's almost as if public
servants are not actually in it to help the public.
Some of them are, but the ones that make it
to the top apparently especially. I mean, I think it
all depends on what your end game is as a person. Right,
you can look at that and be like I'm down
for some influence peddling for check and other people are
actually selfless servants. I work hard, I go home to

(57:21):
my house at the end of the day. I peddle
some influence. But also, you know what, why the funds
shouldn't I drive my bach, you know what I mean? Yeah,
thank you so much. But yeah, so we'll see what
happens to him. Because also, you know those sentencing memos
or when like when the prosecutors are like, yeah, maybe
this is the recommendations, the judge doesn't necessarily have to

(57:43):
adhere to that. The judge can look at everything be like, Okay,
that's what you think, but I think you should be this.
But usually but they do have to sort of explain
why that works. But it doesn't always necessarily mean what
they recommend is what's going to happen. I think that
kind of sucks. What that like, that system, the system
of a judge getting to decide over I mean, isn't
the point of our jury of peers that they're the
ones that get to decide well for sentencing, I think

(58:05):
you know what I'm just saying, Like, ideologically, it doesn't
make a ton of sense to me. Yeah, you know,
depending on if this person did actually give something of
value to further the cause of the justice system, then yeah,
we can figure out way to level that out. But yeah,
and then just also going on in this investigation. We
mentioned before that Maria Betina is going to cooperate, but

(58:27):
just the details of what she had access to. So
there's this dude, Paul Ericson, who's a GOP operative, and
it was like the dude she was like sleeping with. Yeah,
she was sleeping there. Uh and he was like an
n r A spokesperson, a GOP operative. And one of
the pieces of information that came out through investigating her

(58:49):
was an email from Paula Ericsson saying basically him just
bragging about doing covert agent stuff. I'm just gonna read
the email. Unrelated to specific presidential campaigns, Ericson wrote in
October two thousand sixteen email to an acquaintance that was
later obtained by the FBI, I've been involved in securing

(59:10):
a very private line of communication between the Kremlin and
key unnamed political party leaders through of all conduits, the
redacted unnamed gun rights organization. Uh, he Republican leaders, through
of all conduits, the n r A. I think that's
how if we're gonna do mad lives again, like do

(59:31):
old people not understand how the internet works. No, they
really don't know. He was like, I'm going to write
an email about very private things. I've been named them.
These people were so bad at spine. There was a
telling about the note they found and they found I
rated his house, So they rated his house and what

(59:52):
one of the things was the Kremlin was trying to
get to him via a number of different ways, Maria
Boutina and also find out a job offer, because when
they rated his house, he had just a post it
note with the question written how to respond to FSB
offer of employment question marks? Yeah right, that's the Russian

(01:00:18):
equivalent of the CIA. That's what you would see on
the wall of an establishing shot when you're like, you're
in the character's house. What's he dealing with? Now? What
offers of employment from International Secret Agency? Yeah? I mean
it's like it might as well have been a handwritten
note that it's like, want to do treason with me?
Yes or no? Check out box signed FSB, which is
the Russian version of the C. I A yes, so

(01:00:40):
M I don't know. It's I mean, everyone's so stupid,
you know. I think Russian style Americans were smarter than
they were and Americans. I think they're realizing these people
are fucking numbers ship right well, especially when you're greedy.
I mean, yeah, they happens. They were like, hey, um,
you want to collude with us on some stuff, you
want to do some cool down down, And then the

(01:01:01):
Americans sucked it up so bad that I think the
Russians are now like I wish I'd never cool there, Like,
all right, hey, what's up? Snapchat game? Doing a poll
real quick? Should I collude to the Russia? Just voting
my poll right now? Let me know? All right, Paul
ericson out. You can tweet at me on the Snapchat
