Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of that's
a trendy Meet the Ball. Oh you know that's not
offensive because it's Italians. Yeah, hey, look, all bets are
off man, and also because it's one hundred percent accurate.
How there's a trendy Meet the ball? That one courtesy
(00:20):
of Vanadium Silver on the discord. Hey, you Italians, don't
get mad at me. Don't look at me, all right,
you know he made me do it. Now, you guys
are seen as white in the US. It wasn't like that.
It wasn't always like that. It wasn't always like that.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Look it's every immigrant group gets their turn in the
United Time.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
When Irish they said need not apply, Oh, it was everywhere, Miles.
It was like the worst who's the worst thing? Long
haired Irish people need not apply? All right, I'm jack
that over there. Well that's mister Miles. Great Miles.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
R f k.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Fuck, this guy's getting fucking grilled. He's cool under pressure,
and he's got all the answers. Oh smooth way of.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Just just delivering the fucking worst, fucking lies. He's currently
speaking to the senators. They are grilling him.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Which is the.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Best we got the problem, you know, just all the
fucking firings at the CDC, this group of absolute freaks
that he's appointed to the vaccine board who have like
literally they're they have like a specialty and like rocks okay,
and they're like yeah, yeah, yeah, I know about vaccines.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
They're bad. Can I get the job of rocks? You
mean like geology?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
No? No, na, just got look check out check I
got some of my pockety right now at this That
one was like kind of orange looking, right, and this
was like a little it looks like glass hut.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Now it's regular all right anyway.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
But yeah, so he's putting pressure on career scientists to leave,
usually making the fucking country unhealthy as fuck an even
more dangerous place to live. So like one of these,
there's an exchange of the Raphael Warnock where he's like, bro,
like people are dying of measles on your watch.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
The fuck you talking about?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
And he gets a classically defensive because RFK is a NEPO.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Baby, It's clear that you are carrying out your extremest beliefs,
which is why you attempted to fire.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
On the I'm not I'm the sucks people on her.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I'm speaking, how am I Secretary Kennedy. We for the
first time, we're seeing deaths from children from beasles. We
haven't seen that in two decades. We're seeing that under
your watch, you are a hazard to the health of
the American And I respond, you know, I came back
to my time. You already has it to the health
of the American people. I think that you are to resign.
(02:51):
And if you don't resign, the President of the United
States who put forward Operation Warp Speed, which worked, should
fire you.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You know. But we're the sickest people on earth. You know,
put me in a rat battle. I'm the sickest MC
out there. And by sickest, it means that when he
walks through an airport and looks at the children, he's
disgusted by what he sees. Yeah, fucking hypo saying some
shit like mitochondrial yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he said. He
(03:20):
said specifically that when I walked through an airport, the
mitochondrial stress of the children. Okay, it's also the others
are puffy.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Also that other senators are like you are hiring people
who don't have any medical trainings.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Like they're not practicing medicine. It's like they're prescribing ideas
to the rest of the country about what is safe medically,
you fucking fool.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, So that it's very frustrating because he's so transparently
just a lying piece of ship, like just lying about scientists.
Like all over Blue Sky there are people like immunologists,
were like, this guy is literally saying non sense to
your faces, but no one is there to be like ah,
and one of the few doctors that's up there, Senator Cassidy,
he's so captured by MAGA. He's like trying to act
(04:09):
like he has no medical training and.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
What he's hearing is fine.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
He's like, but just like these scathing judicial decisions we
get to read, it's just I feel like I'm I'm afraid.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
It just kind of stops there.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
So you get to hear people be upset with RFK
and him be pressed a bit.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
But what that leads to, I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I don't think I don't think there's nearly enough pressure
for him to resign yet.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
But we'll see really bad jobs numbers came out, but
it's not really being reported on. But I remember people
being like and these this round of job numbers will
really reveal if the tariffs have completely fucked everything, and
the numbers are like worse than anyone could have possibly imagined.
(04:56):
They they're terrible, And it's just not it's not getting
uh much attention. I will tell you what's getting some
attention though. He's claimed the power to summarily kill suspected
drug smugglers. Yeah, it feels like you just want it.
Are you just focusing on the things that are going
to both outrage the left and like get the right.
(05:17):
They want to see they want to see brown people
in boats blow up? Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean.
And that's and and he can just be like they
were drug dealers. I don't know who are that? Were they? Yeah?
Sure they were. I think he already like did this once.
Uh and the New York Times like that seems weird.
(05:38):
It's like very just basic things. Remember was the like
dictator who was killing drug dealers in his country and
just being like God, what a like wild? That's so
wild that that can still happen in the modern world
and now here we are. Yeah. The New Times report
(06:00):
opens by ordering the US military to summarily kill a
group of people aboard what he said was a drug
smuggling boat. President Trump used the military in a way
that had no clear legal pressed inner basis, according to
specialists in the laws of war and executive power. Yeah,
you'd better ask people specialists, because it's so hard to
(06:22):
tell if that's okay for him to say that's drug
smuggling boat and you blow it up. Mister Trump is
claiming the power to shift maritime counter drug efforts from
law enforcement rules to wartime rules. The police arrest criminal
suspects for prosecution and cannot instead simply gun suspects down
except in rare circumstances where they pose an imminent threat
(06:43):
to someone, which is not nobody's even claiming is the
case here, So you can just be like, yeah, the
thing that he's always wanted, right, is the ability to
kill whoever he wants and get away with it, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
And also he's he wants to really send a message
to the Venezuelan government and Maduro, especially by doing.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Shit like this. But yeah, this is fucking it's Oh
my god, were the people on the boat Venezuelan's Were
they coming from Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
They said the boat was coming from Venezuela. That's like
it's the details are so scarce. Yeah, Like, for at
least from what I've read, I've only seen like the
fucking just horrific like social media posts where they're like
got it, Like what the fuck are you?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
What is this? Yeah? Uh? This is America. Yeah, and
it'll it's like red meat for the base, for his base,
and also could potentially like provoke a war, which is
also what he's looking for. He's looking for a war.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
He's looking for a terrorist attack on American soil. He's
looking for American people to fight back against illegal military
occupation of their cities.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
He look, he needs one of these things to happen desperately.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, because it's like it's like those coin games, like
David Busters. We put a coin in, it just piles
up and like the little shelf just pushes them closer
and closer, and.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
He's like, oh, fuck him, this fucking close to getting
the martial law coin. Drop you fuck drop.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
So yeah, that's kind of the extent of it, and
you know, and it's it's it has many purposes because
again this is all part of just really ushering in
this new form of American fascism and also at the
same time people talk about that too and not about him,
you know, and Epstein also, But again, I don't know
what happens even if all that comes to light, if
(08:44):
that really leads to any kind of real change and
like his power, aside from maybe some people being like, well,
I certainly won't vote for him this time.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
If there's ever elections again, I will certainly think twice
about voting for him before voting for him. Yeah, we'll
talk a little bit more on tomorrow's episode about the
Epstein stuff that is being ignored, like some of the
most transparently guilty behavior that is just being sort of
(09:14):
why why do I look guilty?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Because I deployed a military fly over where a press
conference was happening with Epstein survivors right at the time
where they're talking, yeah, and then through some fireworks in
their general direction.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, it is fucking wild. Nobody has ever acted more
transparently guilty of anything. And it does feel like I
don't know if the mainstream media is just like I
can't imagine they think it doesn't work. It feels like
they've been like, you know, scared into not putting this.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
They're scared into being so quote unquote objective that they're
not saying anything anymore, right, And you know, there was
a study that came out that showed people actually are
less informed who watch TV news news yeah than not.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
It's a deficit.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
You actually know less than if you did it, which
is so fucking wild to me.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
It's probably because the only people who watched TV news
are also on uh you know, boomers who are on
the Internet and yeah, yeah, yeah, you know they're like, well, yeah,
I got everything I know from CNN and Facebook. Oh well,
well we're fucked. I will say that this is a
good piece of news from last week that a judge
(10:33):
forced the Utah legislature to redraw its congressional map because
of some to prevent partisan jerry bandering. Maybe gonna Yeah,
the unlawful map was part of a blatant Republican plan
to carve up a Democratic stronghold. They were basically trying
to make it so that Salt Lake City didn't have
any representation in the state of Pupa and had made
(10:56):
it that way. And so now, well, I'll wait for
the wait until the appeal has been heard. Sure, that's
always the thing with.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
All of this, but hey, it's good to know, some
people who interpret the laws are still interpreting the laws now,
whether or not that's just negated by a higher, more
craven court who knows.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
All right, well, speaking of a peel, let's talk about
shrimp peeling each you know what I'm saying, all right, guys,
something that's something that will come back and radio what
(11:41):
and we're back. My tongue is like not tingling. Do
you have any foods that make your tongue tingle? You
got any tongue tinglers out there? Yeah? Yeah, sometimes get
it from canaloup and you're tongue tingling off the lope.
Tongue tingling off the lope. Damn real tongue tangling off
(12:04):
the lope. Yo off the and then some like raw
veggies wait, like.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
What wait, raw vegetables are giving you the tongue tingis. Yeah,
sometimes like carrot, give me the tongue tings. You get
tongue tings off. Carrots, tongue tings, tongue tings off. We're
talking tongue tings. He the Speech Therapy podcast with two
road men from the UK.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
We're talking tongue tings. Wait carrots, Yeah, wow, I've had it. Yeah,
it's weird, but not anyway, it's not it's not like
anything that like I don't I don't have a breakout
or anything like that. No, but you not that you
have a sensation. I have a sensation A ting a ting? Okay, uh, well,
(12:53):
something that might make your tongue tangle and give you superpowers.
There's been a lot of talk about radio active shrimp recently,
after the FDA recommended that Walmart recall its Great Value
brand frozen raw shrimp after detecting a radioactive isotope known
as caesium one thirty seven in shipping container caesium one
(13:16):
thirty seven, and then they've expanded that warning for even
more shrimp products. This was brought up on the Senate
floor by the predictably unhinged Senator John Kennedy, one of
the dummished Louisiana right, oh yeah, he a good Louisiana boy,
and he urged the FDA to conduct more thorough inspections
(13:41):
thorough the NDA, are you sure you know what they're
up to right now? But there's fucking nobody there. Yeah,
it's empty. As as we talked about recently, like they've
been completely disemboweled by the Trump administration just over and over,
like there's just been report after report, like week after
(14:03):
week of just the FDA being hollowed out because uh,
you know, food corporations, it's more profitable for them to
not have regulations in place. But do we have a
clip of his presentation of what what he thinks could happen?
Did you describe what is the materials are in front
of a big picture gesturing at a big high resolution
(14:26):
photograph medical image, the medical image. I mean should we
should we let the audio play and then we can
describe what he's going to.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Mister President, this is a photograph of the alien, uh
huh from.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
The movie Alien, And that is exactly what it is.
It's just the chess bitch.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
End up, like.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
If you eat some of the raw frozen shrimp being
sent to the United States by other countries.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
So we're letting them do boomer ass make believe scare
stories for children on the Senate floor. You could look
like this, if you eat a shrimp, you will turn
into a zeno morph.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Why does this even like a in dumb logic or
even in like scare movie? Like why like that movie
doesn't have anything to do with radioactivity? Alien no, no, no,
you're thinking that, like this looks kind of like a
radioactive shrimp.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I think what he's using like Simpson's logic, how like
they were like the three eyed fish near the power plant.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Sure, and it's like that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
And he's maybe thinking of like children who were affected
by the Chernobyl fallout and being like the sort of
mutations that can occur. So I think he's saying, so
if we know those things that are science, yeah, okay, now,
or you eat a shrimp and then you will transform
into the fucking xenomorph. Beautifully beautifully illustrated by hr Geiger.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
The up close photograph of the baby alien immediately after
bursting through the person's chest. There's also like an aid
next to the picture that I'm assuming his job was
to like bring the picture up there just like sitting there,
stone faced, like looking like he's just like his insides
are trying to escape from him.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
He's like a scar on his forehead like someone hit
him before they got out there.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
He's the boy who was promised. You know, he's Harry Paw.
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Kennedy says, that guy's like that was great man, The
way you printed that it was so clear.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Man, I think we really gilled me. Like a picture
of I don't know, the alien, yeah, or you know
that part where Bishop is dying, all that white stuff's
coming out, and I'll be like, that's your blood even
though he was synthetic. That's what your diarrhea is gonna
be like, like Bishop's blood. Isn't that what the guy
was called? An alien? Bishop? Yeah? Yeah, you got it,
(17:09):
you nailed it, thank god. Oh fuck yeah the reports
about this. The Republican lawmaker offered no actual reason for
his confounding presentation, which has been mercilessly mocked on social media,
but said, if you eat it, you could end up
looking like the alien. An alien because the shrimp was radioactive.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Mm hmmm, A couple things maybe to clear up about
that radioactive point.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
So I do nobody really knows how it got radioactive,
So the amount of radioactivity detected in the batch of
breaded shrimp was pretty low. I don't That doesn't really
make me feel any better.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Well, no, but I think most people, when I hear
them talk about they're like, the weirdest thing is how
the fuck did C one thirty seven get into the shrimp?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
C one thirty seven is a made isotope that was
quote released into the environment during nuclear weapons testing in
the fifties and sixties, but it quote should not show
up in food. Yes, oh okay, yeah, yes, yes, I
mean he was kind of right in that. There's been
(18:19):
a lot of writing about this lately. I feel like
whoever is like stands to benefit from the fall of
the shrimp industry is just crushing right now. I don't
know if this is all part of a plan, because
there was a recent article about that was just like
weighing the environmental damage caused by various foods, and like
(18:42):
shrimp were like, I think the most damaging food. I mean,
I think the one.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
My quickest shortcut is he's from Louisiana, a huge shrimp
producing state, got it, And he's like, get your cheap scrimps,
threatens the local industry, cheap imported good.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I mean, this is just sort of like what happens.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
So I see maybe from that one is because you know,
you read all the time about how like the shrimping
industry is at a real crossroads in Louisiana. Yeah, and
I feel like so like some of the stuff that
has been pointed out. First of all, the shrip that
they are sourcing from overseash is often you know, made
(19:25):
possible by I don't say slave labor. America's reliance on
cheap imported shrimp from Asia is a major problem. In
twenty twenty four, study found that quote big Western supermarkets
make windfall profits off of shrimp that is farmed by
companies that rely on slave labor and child labor.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
And then you know it's sold to a middleman. So
it's like they basically like launder the shrimp.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Right right, It's like I didn't buy it from them,
I bought it from this other company, shrimp Rose.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
The workers who are paid are paid below minimum wage
and forced to work in dangerous and abusive condition. Uh.
And those problems have only gotten worse since the pandemic.
But environmentally, it's a complete fucking disaster. It's one of
the most damaging foods you can eat for the health
of the oceans. Creating shrimp farms means pollution, and wild
(20:16):
caught shrimp means just killing. Like there's footage of these
like nets just dredging across the ocean. Yeah. And because yeah,
because the shrimp are so small, there's not like there's
no way to catch them without just like catching everything big.
So yeah, you just, uh, ninety percent of what comes
(20:39):
up in a shrip net isn't shrimp, and those sharks, turtles,
baby snappers and hundreds of other species tend to die
in the nets or on the deck of the boat,
like just a complete fucking disaster.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Well, how you've ruined my frozen shrimp lunch. Yeah that
I was gonna have.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
It seems seems like shrimp maybe not?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Okay, Oh, I wouldn't even think about the ecological thing.
I just don't want to turn into a fucking chest burster. Yeah,
that's true, you got to be. I don't want to
growing a third year. I don't want a tiny mouth
coming out of my mouth and getting real up close
to Ripley's face.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Although, imagine how much shrimp you could eat two mouths.
I'd hide that, but I'd be so ashamed if I
had that mini mouth. That's right.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Thank god I'm married. I don't have to like reveal
that to a new partner, like.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Something you should know. Were you eating that? Yeah? I was,
But Jesus Christ. And finally, here's something that can set
you at ease if you if you're worried about you know,
we're worried about shrimp. We're worried about the fashions take
over the running everything. Here's one less thing to worry
(21:54):
about AI. Milania has helped put AI perspective and it
turns out it's actually fine. It's fine.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
There was a press conference for the White House Task
Force on AI education. Kicked things off. Things are kicked
off by the Energy Secretary. This is the person who
runs a Department of Energy, Chris Wright, who's an absolute
zero in the brain. And this is just listen to
this fucker trying to be like, let's kick this AI
thing off and let people know the magic of fucking
(22:25):
earth killing AI.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Thank you all for being here today for this just
really really important movement. At its essence, artificial intelligence takes
electricity and turns it into intelligence, empowering Americans.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Boom, there it is. Thank you at its essence, electricity
one hand, intelligence empowering Americans on the other hand, because
we don't have intelligence here.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
If you might remember, we covered him when that one
time everyone did their like Kim Jong un dear lead
her round table where I.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Had to say something. I think you were the smartest
guy ever.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
He had one of the cringey This guy is just
such a fucking loser.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
So he did that.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Then milanias it's Malania's turn, because she's also there talking
about first generation human I don't know bro to.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Our cities, robots hold steady hands in the operating room,
and drones are defining the future of war. Innovations of
first generation humanoids, factory autumnation, and autonomous vehicles have searched
(23:37):
from private sector investment.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
She doesn't even know.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
She's saying, you know when you feel bad when you
know someone's just reading a string of words.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, and like has like learned it phonetically, but yeah,
it doesn't really know how to pronounce any of the.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Words, like Pam Bondi saying chiappus Mexico, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's I.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Don't know what they're talking about.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
She's describing a scene from a movie where there's like
robot sergic assistance or robotic They're not fucking what do.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
You I think there are robotic I don't know that
it's AI. They've been around forever. Like the thing that
like is, you know, like surgeons get trained on and
then it like helps steady their hands. I've seen grais anatomy.
I know about that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
But this is definitely like the kinds of ship when
like the snake oil Ai people get around people who
aren't in tech and have no idea. They're like they're
going to perform brain certain like it's gonna be just
said it and forget it. Remember that, remember the remember
the fucking rotisseri that rom and just said it and
forget it. Bladder surgery, brain surgery, spinal surgeries.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
It's gonna be great. Out something out to phenomenon and yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Chris right, Wow, it just really really brought it together
with intelligence, electricity, intelligence, empowering Americans, empower Secretary of Energy.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Thank you, that's what I do. Thanks, that's been anyone.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Hair ah my face is getting a little anyway, face
getting a little saggy.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah all right. Those are some of the things that
are trending on this September fourth. We are back tomorrow
with a whole last episode of the show. Until then,
be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves. Ye,
get your vaccines while you still can get your flu shots.
Don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
(25:27):
to y'all tomorrow.

that he's appointed to the vaccine board who have like
literally they're they have like a specialty and like rocks okay,
and they're like yeah, yeah, yeah, I know about vaccines.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
They're bad. Can I get the job of rocks? You
mean like geology?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
No? No, na, just got look check out check I
got some of my pockety right now at this That
one was like kind of orange looking, right, and this
was like a little it looks like glass hut.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Now it's regular all right anyway.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
But yeah, so he's putting pressure on career scientists to leave,
usually making the fucking country unhealthy as fuck an even
more dangerous place to live. So like one of these,
there's an exchange of the Raphael Warnock where he's like, bro,
like people are dying of measles on your watch.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
The fuck you talking about?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
And he gets a classically defensive because RFK is a NEPO.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Baby, It's clear that you are carrying out your extremest beliefs,
which is why you attempted to fire.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
On the I'm not I'm the sucks people on her.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I'm speaking, how am I Secretary Kennedy. We for the
first time, we're seeing deaths from children from beasles. We
haven't seen that in two decades. We're seeing that under
your watch, you are a hazard to the health of
the American And I respond, you know, I came back
to my time. You already has it to the health
of the American people. I think that you are to resign.
(02:51):
And if you don't resign, the President of the United
States who put forward Operation Warp Speed, which worked, should
fire you.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You know. But we're the sickest people on earth. You know,
put me in a rat battle. I'm the sickest MC
out there. And by sickest, it means that when he
walks through an airport and looks at the children, he's
disgusted by what he sees. Yeah, fucking hypo saying some
shit like mitochondrial yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he said. He
(03:20):
said specifically that when I walked through an airport, the
mitochondrial stress of the children. Okay, it's also the others
are puffy.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Also that other senators are like you are hiring people
who don't have any medical trainings.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Like they're not practicing medicine. It's like they're prescribing ideas
to the rest of the country about what is safe medically,
you fucking fool.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, So that it's very frustrating because he's so transparently
just a lying piece of ship, like just lying about scientists.
Like all over Blue Sky there are people like immunologists,
were like, this guy is literally saying non sense to
your faces, but no one is there to be like ah,
and one of the few doctors that's up there, Senator Cassidy,
he's so captured by MAGA. He's like trying to act
(04:09):
like he has no medical training and.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
What he's hearing is fine.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
He's like, but just like these scathing judicial decisions we
get to read, it's just I feel like I'm I'm afraid.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
It just kind of stops there.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
So you get to hear people be upset with RFK
and him be pressed a bit.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
But what that leads to, I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I don't think I don't think there's nearly enough pressure
for him to resign yet.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
But we'll see really bad jobs numbers came out, but
it's not really being reported on. But I remember people
being like and these this round of job numbers will
really reveal if the tariffs have completely fucked everything, and
the numbers are like worse than anyone could have possibly imagined.
(04:56):
They they're terrible, And it's just not it's not getting
uh much attention. I will tell you what's getting some
attention though. He's claimed the power to summarily kill suspected
drug smugglers. Yeah, it feels like you just want it.
Are you just focusing on the things that are going
to both outrage the left and like get the right.
(05:17):
They want to see they want to see brown people
in boats blow up? Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean.
And that's and and he can just be like they
were drug dealers. I don't know who are that? Were they? Yeah?
Sure they were. I think he already like did this once.
Uh and the New York Times like that seems weird.
(05:38):
It's like very just basic things. Remember was the like
dictator who was killing drug dealers in his country and
just being like God, what a like wild? That's so
wild that that can still happen in the modern world
and now here we are. Yeah. The New Times report
(06:00):
opens by ordering the US military to summarily kill a
group of people aboard what he said was a drug
smuggling boat. President Trump used the military in a way
that had no clear legal pressed inner basis, according to
specialists in the laws of war and executive power. Yeah,
you'd better ask people specialists, because it's so hard to
(06:22):
tell if that's okay for him to say that's drug
smuggling boat and you blow it up. Mister Trump is
claiming the power to shift maritime counter drug efforts from
law enforcement rules to wartime rules. The police arrest criminal
suspects for prosecution and cannot instead simply gun suspects down
except in rare circumstances where they pose an imminent threat
(06:43):
to someone, which is not nobody's even claiming is the
case here, So you can just be like, yeah, the
thing that he's always wanted, right, is the ability to
kill whoever he wants and get away with it, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
And also he's he wants to really send a message
to the Venezuelan government and Maduro, especially by doing.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Shit like this. But yeah, this is fucking it's Oh
my god, were the people on the boat Venezuelan's Were
they coming from Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
They said the boat was coming from Venezuela. That's like
it's the details are so scarce. Yeah, Like, for at
least from what I've read, I've only seen like the
fucking just horrific like social media posts where they're like
got it, Like what the fuck are you?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
What is this? Yeah? Uh? This is America. Yeah, and
it'll it's like red meat for the base, for his base,
and also could potentially like provoke a war, which is
also what he's looking for. He's looking for a war.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
He's looking for a terrorist attack on American soil. He's
looking for American people to fight back against illegal military
occupation of their cities.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
He look, he needs one of these things to happen desperately.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, because it's like it's like those coin games, like
David Busters. We put a coin in, it just piles
up and like the little shelf just pushes them closer
and closer, and.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
He's like, oh, fuck him, this fucking close to getting
the martial law coin. Drop you fuck drop.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
So yeah, that's kind of the extent of it, and
you know, and it's it's it has many purposes because
again this is all part of just really ushering in
this new form of American fascism and also at the
same time people talk about that too and not about him,
you know, and Epstein also, But again, I don't know
what happens even if all that comes to light, if
(08:44):
that really leads to any kind of real change and
like his power, aside from maybe some people being like, well,
I certainly won't vote for him this time.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
If there's ever elections again, I will certainly think twice
about voting for him before voting for him. Yeah, we'll
talk a little bit more on tomorrow's episode about the
Epstein stuff that is being ignored, like some of the
most transparently guilty behavior that is just being sort of
(09:14):
why why do I look guilty?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Because I deployed a military fly over where a press
conference was happening with Epstein survivors right at the time
where they're talking, yeah, and then through some fireworks in
their general direction.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, it is fucking wild. Nobody has ever acted more
transparently guilty of anything. And it does feel like I
don't know if the mainstream media is just like I
can't imagine they think it doesn't work. It feels like
they've been like, you know, scared into not putting this.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
They're scared into being so quote unquote objective that they're
not saying anything anymore, right, And you know, there was
a study that came out that showed people actually are
less informed who watch TV news news yeah than not.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
It's a deficit.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
You actually know less than if you did it, which
is so fucking wild to me.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
It's probably because the only people who watched TV news
are also on uh you know, boomers who are on
the Internet and yeah, yeah, yeah, you know they're like, well, yeah,
I got everything I know from CNN and Facebook. Oh well,
well we're fucked. I will say that this is a
good piece of news from last week that a judge
(10:33):
forced the Utah legislature to redraw its congressional map because
of some to prevent partisan jerry bandering. Maybe gonna Yeah,
the unlawful map was part of a blatant Republican plan
to carve up a Democratic stronghold. They were basically trying
to make it so that Salt Lake City didn't have
any representation in the state of Pupa and had made
(10:56):
it that way. And so now, well, I'll wait for
the wait until the appeal has been heard. Sure, that's
always the thing with.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
All of this, but hey, it's good to know, some
people who interpret the laws are still interpreting the laws now,
whether or not that's just negated by a higher, more
craven court who knows.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
All right, well, speaking of a peel, let's talk about
shrimp peeling each you know what I'm saying, all right, guys,
something that's something that will come back and radio what
(11:41):
and we're back. My tongue is like not tingling. Do
you have any foods that make your tongue tingle? You
got any tongue tinglers out there? Yeah? Yeah, sometimes get
it from canaloup and you're tongue tingling off the lope.
Tongue tingling off the lope. Damn real tongue tangling off
(12:04):
the lope. Yo off the and then some like raw
veggies wait, like.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
What wait, raw vegetables are giving you the tongue tingis. Yeah,
sometimes like carrot, give me the tongue tings. You get
tongue tings off. Carrots, tongue tings, tongue tings off. We're
talking tongue tings. He the Speech Therapy podcast with two
road men from the UK.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
We're talking tongue tings. Wait carrots, Yeah, wow, I've had it. Yeah,
it's weird, but not anyway, it's not it's not like
anything that like I don't I don't have a breakout
or anything like that. No, but you not that you
have a sensation. I have a sensation A ting a ting? Okay, uh, well,
(12:53):
something that might make your tongue tangle and give you superpowers.
There's been a lot of talk about radio active shrimp recently,
after the FDA recommended that Walmart recall its Great Value
brand frozen raw shrimp after detecting a radioactive isotope known
as caesium one thirty seven in shipping container caesium one
(13:16):
thirty seven, and then they've expanded that warning for even
more shrimp products. This was brought up on the Senate
floor by the predictably unhinged Senator John Kennedy, one of
the dummished Louisiana right, oh yeah, he a good Louisiana boy,
and he urged the FDA to conduct more thorough inspections
(13:41):
thorough the NDA, are you sure you know what they're
up to right now? But there's fucking nobody there. Yeah,
it's empty. As as we talked about recently, like they've
been completely disemboweled by the Trump administration just over and over,
like there's just been report after report, like week after
(14:03):
week of just the FDA being hollowed out because uh,
you know, food corporations, it's more profitable for them to
not have regulations in place. But do we have a
clip of his presentation of what what he thinks could happen?
Did you describe what is the materials are in front
of a big picture gesturing at a big high resolution
(14:26):
photograph medical image, the medical image. I mean should we
should we let the audio play and then we can
describe what he's going to.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Mister President, this is a photograph of the alien, uh
huh from.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
The movie Alien, And that is exactly what it is.
It's just the chess bitch.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
End up, like.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
If you eat some of the raw frozen shrimp being
sent to the United States by other countries.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
So we're letting them do boomer ass make believe scare
stories for children on the Senate floor. You could look
like this, if you eat a shrimp, you will turn
into a zeno morph.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Why does this even like a in dumb logic or
even in like scare movie? Like why like that movie
doesn't have anything to do with radioactivity? Alien no, no, no,
you're thinking that, like this looks kind of like a
radioactive shrimp.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I think what he's using like Simpson's logic, how like
they were like the three eyed fish near the power plant.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Sure, and it's like that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
And he's maybe thinking of like children who were affected
by the Chernobyl fallout and being like the sort of
mutations that can occur. So I think he's saying, so
if we know those things that are science, yeah, okay, now,
or you eat a shrimp and then you will transform
into the fucking xenomorph. Beautifully beautifully illustrated by hr Geiger.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
The up close photograph of the baby alien immediately after
bursting through the person's chest. There's also like an aid
next to the picture that I'm assuming his job was
to like bring the picture up there just like sitting there,
stone faced, like looking like he's just like his insides
are trying to escape from him.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
He's like a scar on his forehead like someone hit
him before they got out there.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
He's the boy who was promised. You know, he's Harry Paw.
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Kennedy says, that guy's like that was great man, The
way you printed that it was so clear.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Man, I think we really gilled me. Like a picture
of I don't know, the alien, yeah, or you know
that part where Bishop is dying, all that white stuff's
coming out, and I'll be like, that's your blood even
though he was synthetic. That's what your diarrhea is gonna
be like, like Bishop's blood. Isn't that what the guy
was called? An alien? Bishop? Yeah? Yeah, you got it,
(17:09):
you nailed it, thank god. Oh fuck yeah the reports
about this. The Republican lawmaker offered no actual reason for
his confounding presentation, which has been mercilessly mocked on social media,
but said, if you eat it, you could end up
looking like the alien. An alien because the shrimp was radioactive.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Mm hmmm, A couple things maybe to clear up about
that radioactive point.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
So I do nobody really knows how it got radioactive,
So the amount of radioactivity detected in the batch of
breaded shrimp was pretty low. I don't That doesn't really
make me feel any better.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Well, no, but I think most people, when I hear
them talk about they're like, the weirdest thing is how
the fuck did C one thirty seven get into the shrimp?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
C one thirty seven is a made isotope that was
quote released into the environment during nuclear weapons testing in
the fifties and sixties, but it quote should not show
up in food. Yes, oh okay, yeah, yes, yes, I
mean he was kind of right in that. There's been
(18:19):
a lot of writing about this lately. I feel like
whoever is like stands to benefit from the fall of
the shrimp industry is just crushing right now. I don't
know if this is all part of a plan, because
there was a recent article about that was just like
weighing the environmental damage caused by various foods, and like
(18:42):
shrimp were like, I think the most damaging food. I mean,
I think the one.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
My quickest shortcut is he's from Louisiana, a huge shrimp
producing state, got it, And he's like, get your cheap scrimps,
threatens the local industry, cheap imported good.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I mean, this is just sort of like what happens.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
So I see maybe from that one is because you know,
you read all the time about how like the shrimping
industry is at a real crossroads in Louisiana. Yeah, and
I feel like so like some of the stuff that
has been pointed out. First of all, the shrip that
they are sourcing from overseash is often you know, made
(19:25):
possible by I don't say slave labor. America's reliance on
cheap imported shrimp from Asia is a major problem. In
twenty twenty four, study found that quote big Western supermarkets
make windfall profits off of shrimp that is farmed by
companies that rely on slave labor and child labor.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
And then you know it's sold to a middleman. So
it's like they basically like launder the shrimp.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Right right, It's like I didn't buy it from them,
I bought it from this other company, shrimp Rose.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
The workers who are paid are paid below minimum wage
and forced to work in dangerous and abusive condition. Uh.
And those problems have only gotten worse since the pandemic.
But environmentally, it's a complete fucking disaster. It's one of
the most damaging foods you can eat for the health
of the oceans. Creating shrimp farms means pollution, and wild
(20:16):
caught shrimp means just killing. Like there's footage of these
like nets just dredging across the ocean. Yeah. And because yeah,
because the shrimp are so small, there's not like there's
no way to catch them without just like catching everything big.
So yeah, you just, uh, ninety percent of what comes
(20:39):
up in a shrip net isn't shrimp, and those sharks, turtles,
baby snappers and hundreds of other species tend to die
in the nets or on the deck of the boat,
like just a complete fucking disaster.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Well, how you've ruined my frozen shrimp lunch. Yeah that
I was gonna have.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
It seems seems like shrimp maybe not?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Okay, Oh, I wouldn't even think about the ecological thing.
I just don't want to turn into a fucking chest burster. Yeah,
that's true, you got to be. I don't want to
growing a third year. I don't want a tiny mouth
coming out of my mouth and getting real up close
to Ripley's face.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Although, imagine how much shrimp you could eat two mouths.
I'd hide that, but I'd be so ashamed if I
had that mini mouth. That's right.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Thank god I'm married. I don't have to like reveal
that to a new partner, like.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Something you should know. Were you eating that? Yeah? I was,
But Jesus Christ. And finally, here's something that can set
you at ease if you if you're worried about you know,
we're worried about shrimp. We're worried about the fashions take
over the running everything. Here's one less thing to worry
(21:54):
about AI. Milania has helped put AI perspective and it
turns out it's actually fine. It's fine.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
There was a press conference for the White House Task
Force on AI education. Kicked things off. Things are kicked
off by the Energy Secretary. This is the person who
runs a Department of Energy, Chris Wright, who's an absolute
zero in the brain. And this is just listen to
this fucker trying to be like, let's kick this AI
thing off and let people know the magic of fucking
(22:25):
earth killing AI.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Thank you all for being here today for this just
really really important movement. At its essence, artificial intelligence takes
electricity and turns it into intelligence, empowering Americans.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Boom, there it is. Thank you at its essence, electricity
one hand, intelligence empowering Americans on the other hand, because
we don't have intelligence here.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
If you might remember, we covered him when that one
time everyone did their like Kim Jong un dear lead
her round table where I.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Had to say something. I think you were the smartest
guy ever.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
He had one of the cringey This guy is just
such a fucking loser.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
So he did that.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Then milanias it's Malania's turn, because she's also there talking
about first generation human I don't know bro to.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Our cities, robots hold steady hands in the operating room,
and drones are defining the future of war. Innovations of
first generation humanoids, factory autumnation, and autonomous vehicles have searched
(23:37):
from private sector investment.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
She doesn't even know.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
She's saying, you know when you feel bad when you
know someone's just reading a string of words.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, and like has like learned it phonetically, but yeah,
it doesn't really know how to pronounce any of the.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Words, like Pam Bondi saying chiappus Mexico, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's I.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Don't know what they're talking about.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
She's describing a scene from a movie where there's like
robot sergic assistance or robotic They're not fucking what do.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
You I think there are robotic I don't know that
it's AI. They've been around forever. Like the thing that
like is, you know, like surgeons get trained on and
then it like helps steady their hands. I've seen grais anatomy.
I know about that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
But this is definitely like the kinds of ship when
like the snake oil Ai people get around people who
aren't in tech and have no idea. They're like they're
going to perform brain certain like it's gonna be just
said it and forget it. Remember that, remember the remember
the fucking rotisseri that rom and just said it and
forget it. Bladder surgery, brain surgery, spinal surgeries.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
It's gonna be great. Out something out to phenomenon and yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Chris right, Wow, it just really really brought it together
with intelligence, electricity, intelligence, empowering Americans, empower Secretary of Energy.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Thank you, that's what I do. Thanks, that's been anyone.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Hair ah my face is getting a little anyway, face
getting a little saggy.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah all right. Those are some of the things that
are trending on this September fourth. We are back tomorrow
with a whole last episode of the show. Until then,
be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves. Ye,
get your vaccines while you still can get your flu shots.
Don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
(25:27):
to y'all tomorrow.
