Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Arsenal
Premier League CHAMPI trend.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
You're such a loud crier.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Fuck yeah, twenty two fucking years.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I've been waiting twenty two years.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I have gone through the boom bus cycle of thinking
you have a team halfway through the scene and being
like this is this is a wash? Maybe if this changes,
that changes the constant fucking disappointment, the bad luck. It's
fucking been overturned. We are the Premier League champions. We
saw have another final we're playing in and I feel
so fucking good.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I'm levitating. Are you So?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You guys won the Premier League. You came in first place,
and that's kind of the big thing.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
That's sort of the deal. That's sort of the gold deal.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
It's not like a thing in the NBA, where like,
you win the league, but then the only thing that
matters is if he in the championship.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
No, no, see, it's all done based on who has
the best record at the end of the third NAT
It's very nasty ever one, you know what I mean,
you can have it.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
They stole it from NASCAR. Yeah, yeah, what I call
the beautiful Nascar.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
This is NASCAR. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's NaSTA. Yeah. So well,
congratulations man, I'm very happy for you.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I do check now my ESPN app knows that I'm
a you know Arsenal fan once removed you're entangled. Yeah,
I was checking out now I get the updates. Congrats man,
I'm so I'm so happy for you.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
There was a video that came out with like our
our like really most recent historic manager Arsen Wenger, Like
the video from the club started with him being like,
you've done it and we were taking he was the
last manager we won under and we had this fucking
entire era called the Banter Era because we were so
bad because we couldn't win it.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I started sobbing when I saw him because it felt
your interio right now.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
It felt like yeah, it felt like it felt like
a like a like a family member you lost who
you're like, we could have done it together, but you
didn't make it. But you're playing and now look and
then here like Obi wan Kenobi at the end of Jedi,
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And is he did he make it? Was really fucked up?
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Dud?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Did he make that video years ago?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Like the way a president makes a video that's like
if you're seeing this dead come yeah, all going to die?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I don't know. It must have been recently, like the popes.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
The Pope's uh death notice where they've written the oh
bit already.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Anyways, man, congratulations, this is.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I'm not going to stop talking about it. I used
to not stop pop, not stop talking about Interstellar. You
used to not stop stop by now not stop talking
about Arsenal?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah? Sorry sorry, sorry, not sorry? Fine? Whatever, what's going on?
What's happening? But that, I mean, that's it. That's all
we have on the doc for I keep going. You
want me to cry even more? I got all these
videos that I have.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
All right, we should talk about comment. We're for some reason,
commencement speeches are just all over the news this week.
We got the people booing various CEOs about their commencement
speeches where they were. You know, when you get the
opportunity to be the battery in the matrix for a
(03:30):
bunch of machines, you take it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah. You don't ask what size battery you're gonna do.
You say thank you for the lovely nat. You say
that bed looks comfortable. I love a goo.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Tank and an outlet plugged into my skull.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
You're going to be taken care of and fed through
a tube that goes directly into your stomach.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Do we know what the technology was for the matrix
battery pods was just off of our human warmth was generating.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It's a great question. I think it was. Yeah, big break,
a big plot.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I mean, what's the greatest machine that man has ever
invented is the huge ship?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I fucked that up.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Man didn't invent the human brain, but you know, the brain,
I don't know. I don't know how they did it.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Does seem virtually integrated into the matrix. They're in fetus fields? Yeah,
I don't know. There's this there's this wick wick of matrix.
Article is way too fucking long.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
It's powered by poop, you know, because that's the like
you got to feed us, got to take aware poop.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Oh, it draws heat energy, so they're using not great
not giving me a lot.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I get why you feel like you could have done
that with fucking hummingbirds, you know, yeah, the hummingbirds. Anyways,
it would have had to have been makes sense to me. Uh,
And this is going to be the episode because we've
spent episodes talking about a interstellar. Now it's it's your turn.
The Matrix nineteen ninety nine says to me, it would
have had to have something to do with the human mind.
(04:55):
And then how like there's so many neurons and fire.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, yeah, like we found a way.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
To harness those because there's nothing that special about the
human body unless the premises that I mean not talking
about your butt, but I'm not talking about your maybe
maybe the premises that all the animals had been killed off. Anyways,
Matrix heads, Kylon, the lines are open, uh we So anyways,
(05:24):
I will just say that in thinking about why we're
getting all these viral commencement speeches, you know, I talked
about how there's this huge split between the haves and
the have nots, and we've been talking about that for
the past week, and like the the the youngs are
the have nots, and the olds are the We've we've
(05:46):
built an amazing system for you where you just sit
down and beg for food because the machines will take
it from here. It's also worth noting I think that
these are kids who were on like their college career
included the crackdown by the federal government. Yeah, people protesting
(06:08):
a genocide, yeah, and being like disappeared, yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah, might be a radicalizing event for some, might be
a radicalizing event.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
And you know, student bodies have driven revolutions in the past.
I don't know if it's happening here, but.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
They're on the right side of the AI history for sure.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
So Donald Trump, they're like, oh, yeah, you think those
comments and speeches were bad, You're so spooky. Donald Trump
gave a speech the graduating class of Coastguard cadets, and.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yeah, he said a lot.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
He said a lot, a lot of weird ship, a
lot of We're gonna go to Kuber and Bagaba and Dagoba.
Get yo out of there. I'm not lifting the next
wing with my mind. This is I think this is
the most terrible fine part though, where again, when he
says stuff, it's not like he's only lying about like
(07:05):
how good he is at present. When he says stuff
like I'm going to steal the election, that's true. So
this is him saying I'm going to be here in
twenty eight, I'm going to be here in thirty two two.
This is but here here he is. This is again
talking to a group of graduates. But he snuck this
one in because dementia.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
But we're making right now currently under construction. We have
eleven bred beautiful. And I said, come on, when's the
first one coming? They said in twenty eight. I said,
I'm going to be here in twenty eight. Maybe I'll
be here in thirty two too. I don't know, maybe
I will here in twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Does he have like his crew, like, does he have
a traveling like dog pound that came with Yes, yes,
those are those Coastguard case.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
You know it's eight Christian women from Louisville, Kentucky. All right,
yeah with church here. The trumpets just come. Yeah, they're
like dead heads that their brain dead. So yeah, that
was the other thing that or the other thing here too,
was he was doing this thing again. We know he's
(08:10):
senile and has no capacity for like a like a
consistent stream of coherent thoughts. He was doing this thing
where he he's like winding up to say something profound
and it just gets like he just starts adding layers on,
like a like a drunk person who's trying to come
off sober by sounding very profound.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Right, this is him talking about to talk his way
out of a field, sobriety.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Yeah, basically going to happen change that we can't even
think of right now. Things will happen, and I believe
for the best, hopefully for the best, but I believe
for the best.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
But things will happen that you.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Can't even imagine. Wow, And it's going to be very exciting.
But the way that's going to happen is through thinking big.
Nothing great was ever built, think of that, nothing great
was ever built without.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
The word without what What do you think you think
you'd say big here without thinking big nothing or like
without thinking.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Big, thinking without the word here he goes.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Ever built without the word momentum a way in times
of your life you'll have momentum.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
That's momentum. Yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Ripped yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, very off the cup
yeah yeah yeah, it's all momentum. So and he's got
boils under those cuffs, so he shouldn't be doing anything
off them.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Damn yeah yeah, yeah, it's freaky. It's again buckle your
asses because I'm pretty sure he's he's claiming full fuckery
in twenty eight uh.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And it seems that way building eleven things that he's
going to be here to see, like was he I.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Think you're talking about the arch, the new monument pool
whenever that gets.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Painted, mainly the ball from though, I was wondering like as.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
The Yeah, all that ship, you know, all the all
the nonsense buildings that he's putting up, because that's again
like it's like you want to get Grandpa to do
stuff that like helps him feel alive again.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
It's like, oh, he liked building stuff, right, Okay, have
him do that. Yeah, give him a sandbox.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
What if we just made the back the Rose Garden
a giant sandbox or the Legos or some shit. But
like give him like the really cool like battery operated
like Tanka things.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
You know what you do is you get a Lego
set of like like an Iranian military base and you're like, sure,
just mash it with your hand.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah. And then they showed him a video. You're like blue, damn, dude,
that's crazy. Go to bed. I said, you got a
fucking bed. You get one button match.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
He is the most powerful president we've ever had, maybe
at this point, which is really just yeah, like as
this aspect of his brain not working kind of misfiring
very publicly culminates, so too does his iron grip over
the Republican Party. We just had two elections yesterday that
(11:13):
sort of solidified that when you come for the Yellow King,
the Orange King, you best not missed. No, you better not.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Thomas Massey has been a massive impediment to Trump's who
the hell is Jeffrey Epstein campaign? Obviously he was behind
the effort to publish, publicize all the files, and you know,
the Kentucky Republican just wouldn't get the hint that Donald
Trump didn't like it. Yeah, and you know he put
(11:42):
him up. He Trump picked a had a hand picked
Navy seal to run against him in his primary. And
the jig is up now because his pick has beat
Massy in an upset. Sure, and it was just Massy
another somewhat vocal MAGA critic. I say somewhat because even
though these guys will say things that ares sort of
like diametrically opposed to Trump, They're voting records typically indicate otherwise.
(12:05):
Bill Cassidy, the Senator from Louisiana, he also lost his
primary to a Trump pick.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
And you're like, oh, is that bad? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
For the GOP, most likely seems bad. Yeah, it does
seem like, Wow, he still holds holds sway over.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
The people that listen to him, right over the Republicans specifically,
who yeah, who are like buying in on who is
he backing? This was from uh Politico there.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
This is from a sort of anonymous you know, senior
Senate Republican operative. They quote those so called victories over
the last couple of weeks are just a mirage. They
are self owns we're not actually beating Democrats and we're
not actually advancing legislation. It said gases up forty five
percent due to our actions on the president's decision to
go to war with Iran. He's focused on the ballroom.
(12:52):
He's announced a one point eight billion dollar restitution fund,
was zero details or congressional authority to do so, it's
just crazy. Yeah, And now Cassidy is talking like a
liberal and he voted for the War Powers Resolution to
limit Trump's you know, ability to just blow shit up
around the world for the first time, like he was
voting with Republicans. And since since then he's now been like, yeah,
(13:16):
you know what, no fuck this, which is always sad
when it takes somebody facing the sweet release of being
ousted from office to find a spine. But This is
another thing senators brought up in this article was that
sort of like, you know, if you thought it was
hard getting support for like bullshit Trump bills that are
like odious to be like even their own constituents. Making
(13:38):
ops out of sitting senators who are about to be
on the way out until January also not going to
be great for that effort.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Not the best strategy, but you know, but that's it.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
That's Trump has a pretty good record of people going
up against him and him being able to primary them
out or ousting them or getting them to resign or whatever.
So Thomas Massey's just another name on that list.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
How do how do those people tend to do in
the general? Like, are these are pretty safe Republican district
So it's not a thing where they're like.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Well, he got people who are going to be popular
with Republican Yeah, I guess that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Is like with all the special elections happening and Democrats
making inroads with like like red districts right and you know,
and turning them purple and some just flipping them out right,
having a candidate who can't distance himself from Trump in
the context of these midterms not obviously not not the
not the thing you want in the same way, like
(14:34):
was it Nebraska, where like the Democrats are.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Like your demos, right.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
We want this guy to wed like this. All right,
let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and
we're back.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
And so I think, like, yeah, as we were discussing,
you know, there's something about these kids that's just not
not connecting with AI for some reason. And I also
think this is just like we generally don't take care
(15:16):
of kids in this country. I think like that, Yeah,
we don't take care of ours for sure. Yeah, when
I personally am like that, fuck fuck that. Yeah, keep
I keep you know, dropping them off at the fire station.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I can just put one of those apocalypse survival buckets
in my kids room and he's.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Good, We're good over here.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
But yeah, no, it is a it is a healthscape
for all living people and especially children.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I just I've always wondered, like there are certain things
that always appear in horror movies, and like children is
one of them. Like children are like spooky to Americans
in particular, and I think it probably.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Yeah, like guilt.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, education is the first thing that we cut funding for.
We incarcerate children more than other countries, so it's probably
not a surprise that, like when we're thinking of like
the most haunting thing, we can think of it as
like a child.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Children.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
But anyways, in line with our failing of children, there
are two articles that just dropped the past week about
how fucked the American classroom is. One in the past
couple of days, four oh four dropped an article about
how a preschool was sending out a like opt out
(16:36):
notice to parents to be like, hey, if you don't
want this, let us know where what is it? The
teachers would wear cameras that would give AI first person
looks for training of like what it's like to educate children.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
A preschool teacher body camera.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
That's AI as the most I mean actually wait, oh
I did have this on my big Go card.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, this is I bought up tons of squares. Yeah, yeah, okay,
because education.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Is like the thing that they always point to when
they're like and think about the future, Like I think
Eric Schmidt in his speech was like, think about the
future of AI in the classroom. It's going to be amazing,
like that they're going to be able to like teach children.
It's like well, I've seen how it works trying to
(17:29):
do other jobs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and anybody who does
those jobs is like it sucks shit at the at
the job that it's doing. Like if you were bringing
in a person who was doing this level of work,
be like they're kind of a con artist. Yeah, you know,
they're they have the appearance of like being able to
smooth it over, but they're actually not doing the work.
(17:51):
But with the classroom people are like the people who
would notice our children and see previous comment about how
we treat children in this country. We don't listen to them, No,
we don't take care of them, and so it's just
an opportunity for them to easily sell AI shit.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
That's so fucking grant.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah, like because you know, obviously the other thing too
is when they whenever people talk about education, like it's
indoctrinating our kids to have empathy, right to like have
to understand the value of like human connection and these
other things. And I'm sure that is a very inelegant
efficient way to just be like, just cut the humanity
out of education, right, and then you can begin to
(18:36):
have these new kids download some new firmware operating system
of like being human three point zero, which doesn't have
much you know, part or something.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I don't know, that's that's just something.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
They think they're solving. But do they think they're like
solving that there's too many damn teachers.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yeah, yeah, it's probably you don't have to pay them,
and plus everyone is going to be saying the exact
same fucking thing.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
That you can control centrally, if you know. It's like
they're opting in.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I mean that's a sense like that's actually what their
plan is. But like what I just wonder how they're
pitching it. Like it's just like better, it'll be a
better education because the computer is never wrong.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Well, it's like Watson fucked everything up what that uh
ai chess bot people were like, and that's true of everything.
If it's better at chess, it's gonna be better at everything.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yeah, you know, telling your child not to bully and
getting and understanding them on a childlike level to be
able to communicate a lesson.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Four or four Media.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
The articles those four or four Media has repeatedly covered
how AI is permeating through education, including students using AI
themselves and the creation of entire AI powered school, which
they were quick to jump to. They're like, oh yeah,
we got we got that, which is like, of all
the things I'd say, like incorporating it into medicine is
(19:55):
obviously something that needs to be done like very very carefully,
and say, like children's education would be this at all.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yeah, yeah, the second most careful.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Don't even don't even you know why, because there's been
study after study that shows the introduction of technology into
the American classroom has coincided with this slip in basic
academic skill. Yeah, Like, it's truly it's about a fucking human.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Being communicating these ideas to you.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
And that's that's actually the most all these fucking freaks
still can't figure out how to do it with technics.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Just all you say that and all I hear is inefficiency. Yeah,
that's all right here. But there's also an article that
documents in The Atlantic one of the worst things I've
witnessed in my time as a parent, which is about
this game called Prodigy, which is a game for first
(20:51):
through eighth grade students, And it's basically, you have a
handful of like multiple choice questions and them right allows
you like gives you access to like you are a
wizard who has these like monsters that you're powering that
fight each other, and it's like it's basically Pokemon, like
(21:12):
you're doing a Pokemon video game, but it's like there
are these like moments where you're supposed to answer like
basic math and reading questions and us my oldest kid
like got addicted, like truly was like to this game,
to this game. It was introduced in school. We're like
(21:34):
a no video game, you know house, and it was
introduced in school, and by the time, like he he
was like all I want for Christmas is like you know,
these power ups for this game, for this for this
school game.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yeah, it's full of inca purchasing it at school.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
At Yeah, they have like it'll be a thing where
it's like if you get it's a reward for like
you get all your work done thing. You can use
the laptop to play this game. But the game is
made like clearly made by the people who are doing
like addictive shit, and like we complained in the school,
was like, oh yeah, this is fucking terrible, but like
(22:14):
it's still it's this massive business.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Just from this Atlantic article.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
While the game is given to schools, pree oh no,
this is from I think a MSNBC article about the
same thing. Well, the game is given to schools free
for students to play in a restricted mode with only
their classmates. When children play the unrestricted version of the
game at home, they receive regular reminders and messages encouraging
them to become members, which costs fifty nine dollars to
(22:40):
one hundred and seven dollars. The Campaign for Commercial Free
Childhood said in its letter complained that during nineteen minutes
of gameplay, it saw sixteen unique advertisements for membership and
only four math problems. Wow, so four ads per math?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Do you think the math and even the math problems
are like for one hundred and seven dollars you get
this much in a membership.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Fifty what's thet deal exactly? But it's just such a bug,
like just curing the campaign for a commercial pre childhood.
It's just such a bummer that we live in a
version of the world where like the campaign for a
commercial pre childhood is like just fighting such a losing
(23:26):
battle that there's even a camp, like a nonprofit that
is doing that.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
God and God bless them. Oh yeah for sounding the alarm.
But yeah, it's like fuck, like.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You look at I mean everything from like the FDA
to like all all these different governmental organizations that are
designed to prevent the forces of capital from abusing the
shit out of this right are all so underfunded. And
it's not just that they're underfunded, it's also like there
isn't there's not a story about how cool like that is.
(23:58):
There's a thousand movies where with like an anti hero
who is essentially Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yeah, you know, more like a media portrayal of a
person who works in a nonprofits like disheveled, threshed out,
and I was like, you don't want this life, right,
and it is fucking hard. But that's all all that
to say, is like the portrayal of even pursuing something
like that is just like and.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
That ain't it?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Yeah, that's just fucking that is grim.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
It's grim, man, Dude. You gotta you.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Gotta let your kids play like early video games, you know,
like get them Nintendo.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Right, you know what I mean, Like get them they.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Fucking you're not backing the matrix with fucking super side scroller,
super Mario or Zelda.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, if anything, they'll have a lot in common with
their future bosses. That's right.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
They are.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Every time we go to like somebody's house that has
one of those old, you know cabinet like video game
arcade cabinets that has all the video games, they get
into those, and that doesn't seem.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
To galaga exactly, do it?
Speaker 1 (24:59):
All? Right, let's talk about ICE, specifically the ICE agents
who were shooting people in Minnesota. The ICE agent Christian Castro,
has been charged by Minnesota state prosecutors with four accounts
of second degree assault and one count of falsely reporting
a crime after the non fatal shooting of Julio Sesars.
(25:22):
This they shot him in the thigh while chasing his roommate.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yeah, that was crazy. This is when they were like
they attack. They attacked us with broomstick. Yeah, mop, that's
where they got it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Also, it should come as no surprise that both the
men that they were chasing and shooting at are in
the country legally and have no history of violent crimes. Yeah,
but you know, presumably terrified of being disappeared for no reason,
which seemed to be the status quo of ICE at
the time. And to your point, at the time, Christinome
(25:57):
concocted a hilariously unconvincing story about an attempted murder involving
snowshovels and the handles of brooms, which was immediately disproven
by video evidence, right and instead like.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
And also just like the idea of it, like you
were there was you were they attempted murder with.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Them with broomsticks? Are they fucking witches? Yeah? What are
you fucking talking about? I can kill a guy with
a broomstick. Yeah that's right.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah what the video showed instead wash the people going
the suspects going to his home after crashing his car
as Castro chases him and they're outside, they tussle with
no weapons, and then the two men run into their
home when the officer shoots at them.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Shoots at them running into their home.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah, like a hero shoot shoots someone with their back
turn to you, jeesus.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Just crazy.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
I'm glad that, like finally people are seeing attempted murder
charges and like what he's also one count of falsely
reporting a crime, because yeah, what the fuck are you
talking about? This is absolute. I mean that's what's really
infuriating is like we we've yet to figure out what
they're going to do. I mean, they're not going to
(27:14):
do anything about the people who killed Renee Good and
Alex pretty but like, at least this something is happening
on the state level here, and I got people need
to be talking about this more like for midterm things
to be like this is the accountability like we actually
need to be seeking at a federal level. It just
can't be like, oh, yeah, we got the loophole where
(27:36):
we can finally we can do something in the state
level because the beds aren't going to do.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
It needs to be like an aggressive campaign to restore
things to some manner of like it's bad when the
force of the fascism are murdering people in the streets.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
So as for agents who committed murder on camera, which
there are a few, they've yet.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
To be charge charged.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
The Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said the issue is
incredibly complex. Didn't seem that way on camera, adding the
last thing we want to do is make a mistake,
which does make.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
It maybe incredibly complex in that the federal the FBI
and DOJ and DHS aren't cooperating with them to investigate,
and then maybe they don't want to bring charges Preen,
which that's the very charitable view of it. The other
one is like then maybe also be like we fucking
literally can't do anything right, or maybe like we're not going.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
To do it well.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I think it's like, so the state charged another ICE agent.
This feels like there should be a much bigger story.
The state charged another ICE agent back in April, Gregory
Donnell Morgan Junior, the guy who pointed his gun at
random motorists because he was annoyed they were momentarily blocking
his way. We remember that video. He was charged with
(28:56):
felony second degree assault with a dangerous weapon and he's
now a fugitive.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
They yeah, just like a Harrison Ford right type fugitive.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yeah, he's a that he's looking for the one armed
man who is actually the one It looks just like me.
Morgan is still not in custody. And this is the
part that like feels I don't know, constitutional crisisy and
like this sort of thing that should be a front page,
front page news. Both ICE and DHS have refused to
even acknowledge that the charges exist. I'm like, like, just on,
(29:28):
so this is but this is like what is going
this is what it's going to take to restore things too.
Is like people need to you know, sweep to victory
and then be like and we're now and now one
of the resources towards the find out portion of the fun.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Motherfuckers are going on time out. Yeah, I'm raising a
toddler right now. Who you got to If you don't
actually show that there are boundaries and reinforce them, they
will keep exploring the out limits, right, you know, because
there's to them, there are no consequences for their actions.
(30:05):
And this is like this is this is like this
is just human behavior, you know what I mean, Like
this administration, they're doing shit like a child to be
like those charges don't even exist, right, that's where they're
at now. And you go, okay, well you know, and
maybe you sweep back to power and you're like, let's
just like get things.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Back in order forward. Yeah, they have learned fuck all.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
So if right now it's those charges don't exist, they're
gonna be like, I'll kill you if you say these
charges exist.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Fucking trying me. That's where I'm at now. I'm three
years old and I'm running the government.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah, they it's a I mean, we're seeing like they're
tooling up for the battle. You know, Trump is creating
a slush fund for people who are prosecuted for committing crimes. Yeah,
on his behalf, on his behalf. So we're that's a
job now. He's taking it seriously. He's taking his side
of it seriously. The other side really really needs to
(31:01):
start thinking about doing that, or maybe just I don't
even fucking do it, don't even think about it.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Then they're like, oh, do you hear that? We could
think about it. Yeah's think about it.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
He gave us an out. He said, we could start
thinking about it. We're gonna do that for years.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
We have a concept of an idea to think about it.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
All right, those are some of the things that are
trending on this Wednesday morning. We are back tomorrow with
a whole ass episode of the show. It's a whole
assed episode. Until then, be kind to each other, be
kind to yourself, get your vaccines while you still can't
get your flu shots, don't do nothing about white supremacy,
(31:40):
and we will talk to you all tomorrow.

Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Arsenal
Premier League CHAMPI trend.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
You're such a loud crier.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Fuck yeah, twenty two fucking years.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I've been waiting twenty two years.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I have gone through the boom bus cycle of thinking
you have a team halfway through the scene and being
like this is this is a wash? Maybe if this changes,
that changes the constant fucking disappointment, the bad luck. It's
fucking been overturned. We are the Premier League champions. We
saw have another final we're playing in and I feel
so fucking good.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I'm levitating. Are you So?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You guys won the Premier League. You came in first place,
and that's kind of the big thing.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
That's sort of the deal. That's sort of the gold deal.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
It's not like a thing in the NBA, where like,
you win the league, but then the only thing that
matters is if he in the championship.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
No, no, see, it's all done based on who has
the best record at the end of the third NAT
It's very nasty ever one, you know what I mean,
you can have it.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
They stole it from NASCAR. Yeah, yeah, what I call
the beautiful Nascar.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
This is NASCAR. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's NaSTA. Yeah. So well,
congratulations man, I'm very happy for you.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I do check now my ESPN app knows that I'm
a you know Arsenal fan once removed you're entangled. Yeah,
I was checking out now I get the updates. Congrats man,
I'm so I'm so happy for you.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
There was a video that came out with like our
our like really most recent historic manager Arsen Wenger, Like
the video from the club started with him being like,
you've done it and we were taking he was the
last manager we won under and we had this fucking
entire era called the Banter Era because we were so
bad because we couldn't win it.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I started sobbing when I saw him because it felt
your interio right now.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
It felt like yeah, it felt like it felt like
a like a like a family member you lost who
you're like, we could have done it together, but you
didn't make it. But you're playing and now look and
then here like Obi wan Kenobi at the end of Jedi,
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And is he did he make it? Was really fucked up?
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Dud?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Did he make that video years ago?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Like the way a president makes a video that's like
if you're seeing this dead come yeah, all going to die?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I don't know. It must have been recently, like the popes.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
The Pope's uh death notice where they've written the oh
bit already.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Anyways, man, congratulations, this is.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I'm not going to stop talking about it. I used
to not stop pop, not stop talking about Interstellar. You
used to not stop stop by now not stop talking
about Arsenal?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah? Sorry sorry, sorry, not sorry? Fine? Whatever, what's going on?
What's happening? But that, I mean, that's it. That's all
we have on the doc for I keep going. You
want me to cry even more? I got all these
videos that I have.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
All right, we should talk about comment. We're for some reason,
commencement speeches are just all over the news this week.
We got the people booing various CEOs about their commencement
speeches where they were. You know, when you get the
opportunity to be the battery in the matrix for a
(03:30):
bunch of machines, you take it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah. You don't ask what size battery you're gonna do.
You say thank you for the lovely nat. You say
that bed looks comfortable. I love a goo.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Tank and an outlet plugged into my skull.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
You're going to be taken care of and fed through
a tube that goes directly into your stomach.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Do we know what the technology was for the matrix
battery pods was just off of our human warmth was generating.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It's a great question. I think it was. Yeah, big break,
a big plot.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I mean, what's the greatest machine that man has ever
invented is the huge ship?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I fucked that up.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Man didn't invent the human brain, but you know, the brain,
I don't know. I don't know how they did it.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Does seem virtually integrated into the matrix. They're in fetus fields? Yeah,
I don't know. There's this there's this wick wick of matrix.
Article is way too fucking long.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
It's powered by poop, you know, because that's the like
you got to feed us, got to take aware poop.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Oh, it draws heat energy, so they're using not great
not giving me a lot.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I get why you feel like you could have done
that with fucking hummingbirds, you know, yeah, the hummingbirds. Anyways,
it would have had to have been makes sense to me. Uh,
And this is going to be the episode because we've
spent episodes talking about a interstellar. Now it's it's your turn.
The Matrix nineteen ninety nine says to me, it would
have had to have something to do with the human mind.
(04:55):
And then how like there's so many neurons and fire.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, yeah, like we found a way.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
To harness those because there's nothing that special about the
human body unless the premises that I mean not talking
about your butt, but I'm not talking about your maybe
maybe the premises that all the animals had been killed off. Anyways,
Matrix heads, Kylon, the lines are open, uh we So anyways,
(05:24):
I will just say that in thinking about why we're
getting all these viral commencement speeches, you know, I talked
about how there's this huge split between the haves and
the have nots, and we've been talking about that for
the past week, and like the the the youngs are
the have nots, and the olds are the We've we've
(05:46):
built an amazing system for you where you just sit
down and beg for food because the machines will take
it from here. It's also worth noting I think that
these are kids who were on like their college career
included the crackdown by the federal government. Yeah, people protesting
(06:08):
a genocide, yeah, and being like disappeared, yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah, might be a radicalizing event for some, might be
a radicalizing event.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
And you know, student bodies have driven revolutions in the past.
I don't know if it's happening here, but.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
They're on the right side of the AI history for sure.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
So Donald Trump, they're like, oh, yeah, you think those
comments and speeches were bad, You're so spooky. Donald Trump
gave a speech the graduating class of Coastguard cadets, and.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yeah, he said a lot.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
He said a lot, a lot of weird ship, a
lot of We're gonna go to Kuber and Bagaba and Dagoba.
Get yo out of there. I'm not lifting the next
wing with my mind. This is I think this is
the most terrible fine part though, where again, when he
says stuff, it's not like he's only lying about like
(07:05):
how good he is at present. When he says stuff
like I'm going to steal the election, that's true. So
this is him saying I'm going to be here in
twenty eight, I'm going to be here in thirty two two.
This is but here here he is. This is again
talking to a group of graduates. But he snuck this
one in because dementia.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
But we're making right now currently under construction. We have
eleven bred beautiful. And I said, come on, when's the
first one coming? They said in twenty eight. I said,
I'm going to be here in twenty eight. Maybe I'll
be here in thirty two too. I don't know, maybe
I will here in twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Does he have like his crew, like, does he have
a traveling like dog pound that came with Yes, yes,
those are those Coastguard case.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
You know it's eight Christian women from Louisville, Kentucky. All right,
yeah with church here. The trumpets just come. Yeah, they're
like dead heads that their brain dead. So yeah, that
was the other thing that or the other thing here too,
was he was doing this thing again. We know he's
(08:10):
senile and has no capacity for like a like a
consistent stream of coherent thoughts. He was doing this thing
where he he's like winding up to say something profound
and it just gets like he just starts adding layers on,
like a like a drunk person who's trying to come
off sober by sounding very profound.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Right, this is him talking about to talk his way
out of a field, sobriety.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Yeah, basically going to happen change that we can't even
think of right now. Things will happen, and I believe
for the best, hopefully for the best, but I believe
for the best.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
But things will happen that you.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Can't even imagine. Wow, And it's going to be very exciting.
But the way that's going to happen is through thinking big.
Nothing great was ever built, think of that, nothing great
was ever built without.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
The word without what What do you think you think
you'd say big here without thinking big nothing or like
without thinking.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Big, thinking without the word here he goes.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Ever built without the word momentum a way in times
of your life you'll have momentum.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
That's momentum. Yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Ripped yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, very off the cup
yeah yeah yeah, it's all momentum. So and he's got
boils under those cuffs, so he shouldn't be doing anything
off them.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Damn yeah yeah, yeah, it's freaky. It's again buckle your
asses because I'm pretty sure he's he's claiming full fuckery
in twenty eight uh.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And it seems that way building eleven things that he's
going to be here to see, like was he I.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Think you're talking about the arch, the new monument pool
whenever that gets.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Painted, mainly the ball from though, I was wondering like as.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
The Yeah, all that ship, you know, all the all
the nonsense buildings that he's putting up, because that's again
like it's like you want to get Grandpa to do
stuff that like helps him feel alive again.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
It's like, oh, he liked building stuff, right, Okay, have
him do that. Yeah, give him a sandbox.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
What if we just made the back the Rose Garden
a giant sandbox or the Legos or some shit. But
like give him like the really cool like battery operated
like Tanka things.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
You know what you do is you get a Lego
set of like like an Iranian military base and you're like, sure,
just mash it with your hand.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah. And then they showed him a video. You're like blue, damn, dude,
that's crazy. Go to bed. I said, you got a
fucking bed. You get one button match.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
He is the most powerful president we've ever had, maybe
at this point, which is really just yeah, like as
this aspect of his brain not working kind of misfiring
very publicly culminates, so too does his iron grip over
the Republican Party. We just had two elections yesterday that
(11:13):
sort of solidified that when you come for the Yellow King,
the Orange King, you best not missed. No, you better not.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Thomas Massey has been a massive impediment to Trump's who
the hell is Jeffrey Epstein campaign? Obviously he was behind
the effort to publish, publicize all the files, and you know,
the Kentucky Republican just wouldn't get the hint that Donald
Trump didn't like it. Yeah, and you know he put
(11:42):
him up. He Trump picked a had a hand picked
Navy seal to run against him in his primary. And
the jig is up now because his pick has beat
Massy in an upset. Sure, and it was just Massy
another somewhat vocal MAGA critic. I say somewhat because even
though these guys will say things that ares sort of
like diametrically opposed to Trump, They're voting records typically indicate otherwise.
(12:05):
Bill Cassidy, the Senator from Louisiana, he also lost his
primary to a Trump pick.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
And you're like, oh, is that bad? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
For the GOP, most likely seems bad. Yeah, it does
seem like, Wow, he still holds holds sway over.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
The people that listen to him, right over the Republicans specifically,
who yeah, who are like buying in on who is
he backing? This was from uh Politico there.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
This is from a sort of anonymous you know, senior
Senate Republican operative. They quote those so called victories over
the last couple of weeks are just a mirage. They
are self owns we're not actually beating Democrats and we're
not actually advancing legislation. It said gases up forty five
percent due to our actions on the president's decision to
go to war with Iran. He's focused on the ballroom.
(12:52):
He's announced a one point eight billion dollar restitution fund,
was zero details or congressional authority to do so, it's
just crazy. Yeah, And now Cassidy is talking like a
liberal and he voted for the War Powers Resolution to
limit Trump's you know, ability to just blow shit up
around the world for the first time, like he was
voting with Republicans. And since since then he's now been like, yeah,
(13:16):
you know what, no fuck this, which is always sad
when it takes somebody facing the sweet release of being
ousted from office to find a spine. But This is
another thing senators brought up in this article was that
sort of like, you know, if you thought it was
hard getting support for like bullshit Trump bills that are
like odious to be like even their own constituents. Making
(13:38):
ops out of sitting senators who are about to be
on the way out until January also not going to
be great for that effort.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Not the best strategy, but you know, but that's it.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
That's Trump has a pretty good record of people going
up against him and him being able to primary them
out or ousting them or getting them to resign or whatever.
So Thomas Massey's just another name on that list.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
How do how do those people tend to do in
the general? Like, are these are pretty safe Republican district
So it's not a thing where they're like.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Well, he got people who are going to be popular
with Republican Yeah, I guess that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Is like with all the special elections happening and Democrats
making inroads with like like red districts right and you know,
and turning them purple and some just flipping them out right,
having a candidate who can't distance himself from Trump in
the context of these midterms not obviously not not the
not the thing you want in the same way, like
(14:34):
was it Nebraska, where like the Democrats are.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Like your demos, right.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
We want this guy to wed like this. All right,
let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and
we're back.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
And so I think, like, yeah, as we were discussing,
you know, there's something about these kids that's just not
not connecting with AI for some reason. And I also
think this is just like we generally don't take care
(15:16):
of kids in this country. I think like that, Yeah,
we don't take care of ours for sure. Yeah, when
I personally am like that, fuck fuck that. Yeah, keep
I keep you know, dropping them off at the fire station.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I can just put one of those apocalypse survival buckets
in my kids room and he's.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Good, We're good over here.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
But yeah, no, it is a it is a healthscape
for all living people and especially children.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I just I've always wondered, like there are certain things
that always appear in horror movies, and like children is
one of them. Like children are like spooky to Americans
in particular, and I think it probably.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Yeah, like guilt.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, education is the first thing that we cut funding for.
We incarcerate children more than other countries, so it's probably
not a surprise that, like when we're thinking of like
the most haunting thing, we can think of it as
like a child.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Children.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
But anyways, in line with our failing of children, there
are two articles that just dropped the past week about
how fucked the American classroom is. One in the past
couple of days, four oh four dropped an article about
how a preschool was sending out a like opt out
(16:36):
notice to parents to be like, hey, if you don't
want this, let us know where what is it? The
teachers would wear cameras that would give AI first person
looks for training of like what it's like to educate children.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
A preschool teacher body camera.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
That's AI as the most I mean actually wait, oh
I did have this on my big Go card.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, this is I bought up tons of squares. Yeah, yeah, okay,
because education.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Is like the thing that they always point to when
they're like and think about the future, Like I think
Eric Schmidt in his speech was like, think about the
future of AI in the classroom. It's going to be amazing,
like that they're going to be able to like teach children.
It's like well, I've seen how it works trying to
(17:29):
do other jobs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and anybody who does
those jobs is like it sucks shit at the at
the job that it's doing. Like if you were bringing
in a person who was doing this level of work,
be like they're kind of a con artist. Yeah, you know,
they're they have the appearance of like being able to
smooth it over, but they're actually not doing the work.
(17:51):
But with the classroom people are like the people who
would notice our children and see previous comment about how
we treat children in this country. We don't listen to them, No,
we don't take care of them, and so it's just
an opportunity for them to easily sell AI shit.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
That's so fucking grant.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah, like because you know, obviously the other thing too
is when they whenever people talk about education, like it's
indoctrinating our kids to have empathy, right to like have
to understand the value of like human connection and these
other things. And I'm sure that is a very inelegant
efficient way to just be like, just cut the humanity
out of education, right, and then you can begin to
(18:36):
have these new kids download some new firmware operating system
of like being human three point zero, which doesn't have
much you know, part or something.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I don't know, that's that's just something.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
They think they're solving. But do they think they're like
solving that there's too many damn teachers.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yeah, yeah, it's probably you don't have to pay them,
and plus everyone is going to be saying the exact
same fucking thing.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
That you can control centrally, if you know. It's like
they're opting in.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I mean that's a sense like that's actually what their
plan is. But like what I just wonder how they're
pitching it. Like it's just like better, it'll be a
better education because the computer is never wrong.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Well, it's like Watson fucked everything up what that uh
ai chess bot people were like, and that's true of everything.
If it's better at chess, it's gonna be better at everything.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yeah, you know, telling your child not to bully and
getting and understanding them on a childlike level to be
able to communicate a lesson.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Four or four Media.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
The articles those four or four Media has repeatedly covered
how AI is permeating through education, including students using AI
themselves and the creation of entire AI powered school, which
they were quick to jump to. They're like, oh yeah,
we got we got that, which is like, of all
the things I'd say, like incorporating it into medicine is
(19:55):
obviously something that needs to be done like very very carefully,
and say, like children's education would be this at all.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yeah, yeah, the second most careful.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Don't even don't even you know why, because there's been
study after study that shows the introduction of technology into
the American classroom has coincided with this slip in basic
academic skill. Yeah, Like, it's truly it's about a fucking human.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Being communicating these ideas to you.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
And that's that's actually the most all these fucking freaks
still can't figure out how to do it with technics.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Just all you say that and all I hear is inefficiency. Yeah,
that's all right here. But there's also an article that
documents in The Atlantic one of the worst things I've
witnessed in my time as a parent, which is about
this game called Prodigy, which is a game for first
(20:51):
through eighth grade students, And it's basically, you have a
handful of like multiple choice questions and them right allows
you like gives you access to like you are a
wizard who has these like monsters that you're powering that
fight each other, and it's like it's basically Pokemon, like
(21:12):
you're doing a Pokemon video game, but it's like there
are these like moments where you're supposed to answer like
basic math and reading questions and us my oldest kid
like got addicted, like truly was like to this game,
to this game. It was introduced in school. We're like
(21:34):
a no video game, you know house, and it was
introduced in school, and by the time, like he he
was like all I want for Christmas is like you know,
these power ups for this game, for this for this
school game.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yeah, it's full of inca purchasing it at school.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
At Yeah, they have like it'll be a thing where
it's like if you get it's a reward for like
you get all your work done thing. You can use
the laptop to play this game. But the game is
made like clearly made by the people who are doing
like addictive shit, and like we complained in the school,
was like, oh yeah, this is fucking terrible, but like
(22:14):
it's still it's this massive business.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Just from this Atlantic article.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
While the game is given to schools, pree oh no,
this is from I think a MSNBC article about the
same thing. Well, the game is given to schools free
for students to play in a restricted mode with only
their classmates. When children play the unrestricted version of the
game at home, they receive regular reminders and messages encouraging
them to become members, which costs fifty nine dollars to
(22:40):
one hundred and seven dollars. The Campaign for Commercial Free
Childhood said in its letter complained that during nineteen minutes
of gameplay, it saw sixteen unique advertisements for membership and
only four math problems. Wow, so four ads per math?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Do you think the math and even the math problems
are like for one hundred and seven dollars you get
this much in a membership.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Fifty what's thet deal exactly? But it's just such a bug,
like just curing the campaign for a commercial pre childhood.
It's just such a bummer that we live in a
version of the world where like the campaign for a
commercial pre childhood is like just fighting such a losing
(23:26):
battle that there's even a camp, like a nonprofit that
is doing that.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
God and God bless them. Oh yeah for sounding the alarm.
But yeah, it's like fuck, like.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You look at I mean everything from like the FDA
to like all all these different governmental organizations that are
designed to prevent the forces of capital from abusing the
shit out of this right are all so underfunded. And
it's not just that they're underfunded, it's also like there
isn't there's not a story about how cool like that is.
(23:58):
There's a thousand movies where with like an anti hero
who is essentially Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yeah, you know, more like a media portrayal of a
person who works in a nonprofits like disheveled, threshed out,
and I was like, you don't want this life, right,
and it is fucking hard. But that's all all that
to say, is like the portrayal of even pursuing something
like that is just like and.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
That ain't it?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Yeah, that's just fucking that is grim.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
It's grim, man, Dude. You gotta you.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Gotta let your kids play like early video games, you know,
like get them Nintendo.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Right, you know what I mean, Like get them they.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Fucking you're not backing the matrix with fucking super side scroller,
super Mario or Zelda.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, if anything, they'll have a lot in common with
their future bosses. That's right.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
They are.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Every time we go to like somebody's house that has
one of those old, you know cabinet like video game
arcade cabinets that has all the video games, they get
into those, and that doesn't seem.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
To galaga exactly, do it?
Speaker 1 (24:59):
All? Right, let's talk about ICE, specifically the ICE agents
who were shooting people in Minnesota. The ICE agent Christian Castro,
has been charged by Minnesota state prosecutors with four accounts
of second degree assault and one count of falsely reporting
a crime after the non fatal shooting of Julio Sesars.
(25:22):
This they shot him in the thigh while chasing his roommate.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yeah, that was crazy. This is when they were like
they attack. They attacked us with broomstick. Yeah, mop, that's
where they got it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Also, it should come as no surprise that both the
men that they were chasing and shooting at are in
the country legally and have no history of violent crimes. Yeah,
but you know, presumably terrified of being disappeared for no reason,
which seemed to be the status quo of ICE at
the time. And to your point, at the time, Christinome
(25:57):
concocted a hilariously unconvincing story about an attempted murder involving
snowshovels and the handles of brooms, which was immediately disproven
by video evidence, right and instead like.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
And also just like the idea of it, like you
were there was you were they attempted murder with.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Them with broomsticks? Are they fucking witches? Yeah? What are
you fucking talking about? I can kill a guy with
a broomstick. Yeah that's right.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah what the video showed instead wash the people going
the suspects going to his home after crashing his car
as Castro chases him and they're outside, they tussle with
no weapons, and then the two men run into their
home when the officer shoots at them.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Shoots at them running into their home.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah, like a hero shoot shoots someone with their back
turn to you, jeesus.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Just crazy.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
I'm glad that, like finally people are seeing attempted murder
charges and like what he's also one count of falsely
reporting a crime, because yeah, what the fuck are you
talking about? This is absolute. I mean that's what's really
infuriating is like we we've yet to figure out what
they're going to do. I mean, they're not going to
(27:14):
do anything about the people who killed Renee Good and
Alex pretty but like, at least this something is happening
on the state level here, and I got people need
to be talking about this more like for midterm things
to be like this is the accountability like we actually
need to be seeking at a federal level. It just
can't be like, oh, yeah, we got the loophole where
(27:36):
we can finally we can do something in the state
level because the beds aren't going to do.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
It needs to be like an aggressive campaign to restore
things to some manner of like it's bad when the
force of the fascism are murdering people in the streets.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
So as for agents who committed murder on camera, which
there are a few, they've yet.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
To be charge charged.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
The Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said the issue is
incredibly complex. Didn't seem that way on camera, adding the
last thing we want to do is make a mistake,
which does make.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
It maybe incredibly complex in that the federal the FBI
and DOJ and DHS aren't cooperating with them to investigate,
and then maybe they don't want to bring charges Preen,
which that's the very charitable view of it. The other
one is like then maybe also be like we fucking
literally can't do anything right, or maybe like we're not going.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
To do it well.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I think it's like, so the state charged another ICE agent.
This feels like there should be a much bigger story.
The state charged another ICE agent back in April, Gregory
Donnell Morgan Junior, the guy who pointed his gun at
random motorists because he was annoyed they were momentarily blocking
his way. We remember that video. He was charged with
(28:56):
felony second degree assault with a dangerous weapon and he's
now a fugitive.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
They yeah, just like a Harrison Ford right type fugitive.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yeah, he's a that he's looking for the one armed
man who is actually the one It looks just like me.
Morgan is still not in custody. And this is the
part that like feels I don't know, constitutional crisisy and
like this sort of thing that should be a front page,
front page news. Both ICE and DHS have refused to
even acknowledge that the charges exist. I'm like, like, just on,
(29:28):
so this is but this is like what is going
this is what it's going to take to restore things too.
Is like people need to you know, sweep to victory
and then be like and we're now and now one
of the resources towards the find out portion of the fun.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Motherfuckers are going on time out. Yeah, I'm raising a
toddler right now. Who you got to If you don't
actually show that there are boundaries and reinforce them, they
will keep exploring the out limits, right, you know, because
there's to them, there are no consequences for their actions.
(30:05):
And this is like this is this is like this
is just human behavior, you know what I mean, Like
this administration, they're doing shit like a child to be
like those charges don't even exist, right, that's where they're
at now. And you go, okay, well you know, and
maybe you sweep back to power and you're like, let's
just like get things.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Back in order forward. Yeah, they have learned fuck all.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
So if right now it's those charges don't exist, they're
gonna be like, I'll kill you if you say these
charges exist.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Fucking trying me. That's where I'm at now. I'm three
years old and I'm running the government.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah, they it's a I mean, we're seeing like they're
tooling up for the battle. You know, Trump is creating
a slush fund for people who are prosecuted for committing crimes. Yeah,
on his behalf, on his behalf. So we're that's a
job now. He's taking it seriously. He's taking his side
of it seriously. The other side really really needs to
(31:01):
start thinking about doing that, or maybe just I don't
even fucking do it, don't even think about it.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Then they're like, oh, do you hear that? We could
think about it. Yeah's think about it.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
He gave us an out. He said, we could start
thinking about it. We're gonna do that for years.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
We have a concept of an idea to think about it.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
All right, those are some of the things that are
trending on this Wednesday morning. We are back tomorrow with
a whole ass episode of the show. It's a whole
assed episode. Until then, be kind to each other, be
kind to yourself, get your vaccines while you still can't
get your flu shots, don't do nothing about white supremacy,

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
