and see you, especially because we keep having these first
rate guests on our second rate podcast. UM Today, we're
thrilled to be joined in our third seat by an
award winning staff writer for Slate whose work focuses on
on identity and religion. He wrote and produced the amazing

(02:09):
video series Who's Afraid of amens my E and has
appeared on CNN and NPR, and has been featured in
The New York Post ed we Cak or the huffing
at Post. Please welcome the brilliant, the talented amens my E.
Is that that's how you say it in uh? Who creative?

(02:31):
I didn't know? I didn't know? Really your last name?
Or is that? There is no correct way to say it?
It's more like a vibe. You just go fel it.
I've had to say that a few times before. H
I'm so tired of telling people my name is Aimon,
like Matt Damon. I'm just like say whatever you want,

(02:51):
I don't care. You could have it. I don't have
I don't need a back or the fact that you
have to evoke Matt Damon as part of your self
identifying process, like Matt Damon. But I did sucking up
last time, right, I said, But you're you're saying it's
okay either way, right, I mean again, I mean, like,
if you want to do it like the Arabic way's

(03:12):
gonna be like, hey man, it's my but like who's
gonna sing it like that? You just got to be like, amen,
amen Damon? Amen, Yeah, don't don't don't call me hey man.
That's the only thing right. The guitar Center tried to
pull that joke with me, and I almost you know what,

(03:34):
a matter of fact, return these strings from me returning
I'm done. These are anie balls, man, these are good strings. Man.
Sure I asked for the super slinky man. Oh my bad. Okay,
I'll go back there. I'll go back there. I'll get
the red strings. So where's what's what's good with you?
Where are you at? Where are you? You're you looks
like you're traveling, you know. Yeah, I'm out in the
lamb dude, I'm secretly. I'm secretly doing my work from

(03:57):
Puerto Rico. Don't tell my editors. No when you when
you when you find this out, don't snitch tag anybody
at Slate because nobody knows. And I was we were
we were just talking about one of the articles I
forget who wrote it over at Slate about the tall
Zoom energy, and I was curious, have you have you
is that something you've noticed too, Like have you met
new coworkers and people think you were taller or less taller?

(04:20):
What's your vibe? I haven't haven't been back to an
office since then. I'm trying to hold out for as
long as possible. See, I was never a fan of
like office culture. I know some people have started going
back already. I'm fine with just the messages and the emails.
I don't need to see you, you know, so I
like leaving it, leaning into the mystery and just it's
like a shorter shorter is height. I don't need to

(04:40):
know how tall you right right, For all I know,
you could be six ft spy ft. I just don't
want to go back to the office. I mean, I
was always commuting from New Jersey and too New York,
and so our subway is different than you guys the subway.
You know, we have the real freaks of the subway
on our subway. So I'm like, I don't know, people
actually want to start conversations with you where I things.

(05:02):
I mean, that's easy for you to say you have
tall zoom energy. I mean, look at you. You're is overpowering.
So it's easy for you. But you know, for some
of the secret is to not stack your laptop and
keep it as low as possible. Get like that MySpace angle. Yeah,
just so yeah, it's always from that perspective you want
to yah, right right, Well that's good. How how is

(05:25):
Puerto Rico? What's what's good in Puerto Rico? I mean,
I would recommend the shrimp and panadas. I was really
really into tost is. You know, I've tried them fungo,
but honestly, it's not better than it is in the Bronx.
So you know, you gotta you gotta come with the
expectation that you're just going to like a tropical Bronx.
That's how you really get to enjoy Puerto Rico. Otherwise

(05:47):
you're just gonna be setting yourself up for sort of
like an American Florida fusion. It's it doesn't feel like
you've left the country in a weird way, but at
the same time, like everything is just delicious, and they
have those those Coca colas here with the real sugar.
I don't know if you guys do a lot of traveling,
but like the Coca colas where we are calling Mexican
coke out here, because it's typically those are the ones

(06:09):
that they import, like in the glass bottle from Mexico,
because anything that's bottled in that up here is all
corn syrup for that as no, no, no, I'm I
can't handle that, honestly, it gets my throat off, like
weirdly lubricated. The sprite with sugar, whoa. I will obey
my thirst every fucking time if they're sugar anything. I'm

(06:33):
always impressed by sprite anytime. I like, I almost never
drank it, but what I do, I'm always like, damn, oh,
this is fucking good. I'm getting with gas over here
with this Lemon Limons's linemen linen. It wasn't that the
thing they called it? Yeah, yeah, alright, Well, we are
going to get to know you a little bit better

(06:55):
in just a moment. First, a couple of stories we're
talking about. We're gonna talk about like the numb bers
coming back on we we've all seen the viral videos
of people like walking out and be like I refuse
to be vaccinated, and you know, the numbers tell a
different story about how willing people are to lose their
job in order to not get vaccinated. We're gonna catch

(07:15):
up with Matthew McConaughey. Alright, alright, alright. I don't know
why I just started talking like Bill Clinton, but I
think it was yesterday when Brian was like too many people,
too many leaders with vocal fry. Yeah, that's right. Then
it's Bill Clinton, it's Matthew McConney. There it does. That's

(07:37):
your vocal warm up. Also I noticed. But anyways, he spoke,
we get to we get to hear what what he's
all about. We're gonna talk about whether this is the
beginning of the new Trump run for presidency. He had
a event in Iowa, a rally in Iowa over the weekend,
um and people are speculating this might be this might

(07:59):
be the start of him kind of getting on the
campaign trail. Thank god, Yes, We're going to talk about
the conspiracy theory that Joe Biden has a fake White
House and it's being called like the Truman Show Presidency,
which is confusing. We'll explain it to you. We'll we'll

(08:19):
talk about how Justin Bieber was fooled by Tom Cruise
deep fake uh, and that sixty minutes story from over
the Weekend to ballot deep fakes, all of that plenty more.
But first Amon, we like to ask our guests, what
is something from your search history one of the other
recent things that shouldn't be in my search history, but
it is. But it's just Sean Hannity throwing a football.

(08:45):
I don't know. I've I've seen a lot of articles
written about him saying that he sucks at throwing a
football and he like doesn't have any follow through. I
needed to see for myself, and honestly, I think it's
fake news. Man. I think he's pretty good. And so
there are videos of him just launching that thing. Well,
it's like part of his stick. He like wants to
people to think that he's not some like rich elitist,
which he is, and he wants to like this Americana vibe.

(09:07):
So at the beginning or end of every segment. He
like have a nerf ball that he'll just launch at
some poor interns head. And um, honestly he's throwing some spirals, man,
really sometimes spirals, some pretty tight spirals. I mean, you
throw it better than me, and I played football in
high school. I play tight end. Okay, damn. He has

(09:30):
a weird motion, so you just be like six eight.
I'm like at least seven, yeah, based on your energy,
based on he does have like a weird motion. But
it does seem like, I don't know, it's not an embarrassment.
It's certainly like I'm sure he doesn't mind people googling

(09:51):
Sean Hannity throwing a football expecting to see Connor McGregor
throwing out a first pitch and then you know, it's fine.
It's just fine, but it's not gonna it's not gonna
deliver on the on on our expectations if we're expecting
to see just a joke, you know, in honor of
do your own research Day, I think people listening should

(10:12):
just go and see it for yourselves. You know, it's
on YouTube. It's like in slow motion, so you could
really look at it frame by frame and observe the technique.
I don't think it's that bad, but you know people
might disagree. Well, I mean because also what his other
thing to be like a macho every man is his
m m a share right, like where he like fights
in an apartment. Like I've seen that footage where he's

(10:33):
like training, but it's like not at a gym, and
it looks like a day's in like business, Like what
is this place you're ting and Sean? But hey, man,
when you're vaping and crushing ship is he? Is he
a vapor? Oh? Yeah, he's a vapor? Yeah, popping every day?

(10:56):
Oh man? What is something you think is overrated? I
thought long hard about this because I listened to the show,
and I'm like, what the hell is overrated? It's got
to be Hunter Biden's art. I don't know why he
sold five pieces for like what was it? No, he
just sold all five that he put on almost instantly.

(11:18):
And The New York Post is writing raving reviews for
some reason, which is totally confusing because they've been calling
him a crackhead for like the last year. Now they're saying, actually,
he does pretty good art if you check it out
and actually look I feel like this kid, he just
like ripped off somebody off the Dvan art. He's not
He's just making splatters. It's not it doesn't look good.
And I feel like because there's only something because of

(11:39):
his name, give one presidency, one presidency later, just wait
that like four years, whoever bought that art for seventy
five thousand's gonna be looking at themselves like, why the
hell do I have this thing? Their kids gonna be like, Dad,
can I go to college? Do I have a college fund?
To be? Like, Sorry, son, we just didn't pan out
like we wanted it to. Sorry, wild Like this ship

(12:02):
is bad. I mean, look, I'm look, maybe I'm mad
because you know, my father is an artist, so I
like pretty critical art. I not that it's based in
anything reasonable, but this ship is something for seventy is
an affront to people who are like actually dedicating themselves
to making art. And the fact that he had an
opening at Milk Studios in Hollywood that is such industry ship.

(12:25):
I'm like, I think some I think they're laundering money
with this ship. They have to be. It's it's like
that painting where they somebody some poor woman in Spain
tried to fix the painting of Jesus, and she's like
smudged the lips and made it look like this crazy
cartoon look at things when it made it look worse,
but at the same time it made it more valuable
because of the story behind it. To think with like

(12:48):
a Banksy piece or banks he tried to subvert to
industry by selling a piece that was going to self
destruct when it sold. Did you guys see that? Like
the frame itself was a shredder, and so as soon
as they sold it for whatever, much like shredded itself,
but that only made it worth more. It's like all
about being viral that they've basically been selling n f
T s. That's that's right, right, which again great way

(13:11):
to launder money. Hey, I sold myself a n f
T from with bitcoin I got off of like a
hacking operation and that's trace, so I bought it as
an n f T and now it's all clean. Yeah,
they probably had to do the Hunter Biden. I want
to be surprised. Yeah, either that or cash in an envelope? Right,

(13:31):
is this the right? Like doing sort of co and
tell pro like type ship like just like really like
four D chest ship where they're like Sean Hannity can't
throw all football. So people google that and they're like
he's okay, or Hunting Hunter Biden's art is good and
then like we have to go look and be like
not really, but they're just like trying to seed low

(13:55):
or high expectations anything too is just like with art right,
Like it says that the people who bought it were
like close like personal friends of the person who owned
the gap, like whose gallery was putting on the show,
which I mean, you know there is there is some
type of ship where you say you bought the ship
for seventy five, you didn't and the artist says that
they sold it for seventy five they didn't. But that

(14:17):
helps in the long run because then it could get
that much or make you know, following works of art
worth more because you've set like a baseline for what
his work is worth. But I don't, I mean, I
just don't know, like an art collector who's like, and
this is a Hunter Biden original, Yes, I know I
have I have a couple other ones. That is a
George O'Keeffe right next to it, but this is just

(14:39):
one of a kind. Hunter Biden nightmare piece. I mean,
this actually has a basis in history of like presidential
failed son or fail brother like memorabilia, because like Billy
beer was a thing that came out during the Jimmy
Carter presidency, like his brother, like really east a beer

(15:00):
that was like kind of a joke and it tastes
really bad, but everybody it was it was like the
baseball cards of the time. Everyone's like, oh, if you
just keep one of these and like don't open it,
you're gonna be a millionaire one day. And then like
there was just a really a bunch of really shitty
beer that that never got open, uh, and it didn't

(15:21):
growing value. So maybe maybe this is like just a
in that tradition part of the I can't imagine like
in a generation people are even gonna know who Hunter
Biden is. It was like the biggest non story for
the people who are not at the center of the story.
I'm looking at this artwork. I'm looking at this artwork
and I'm saying, they're not gonna know who Joe Biden is.

(15:41):
They're gonna know who Hunter Biden is because his work
is gonna overshadow everything. I'm looking at the fucking Guernica
right now, Okay, it's a fucking masterpiece. You. I also
feel like you need to give me one painting where
you do something like a realistic or something, because it's

(16:01):
all abstract ship that like I don't know, I'm not
I'm not seeing anything that's like but you know, like
Andy Warhol was a great artists, like he could paint
like things that looked like what they were supposed to
look like and also do like pop art. I feel
like I need I need to see that to appreciate

(16:22):
Hunter's artwork because it's also like it's a bad version
of like Murakami Taka. She's like work like it's very
It's like it's like he it's like Hunter Biden saw
like one of his pieces, like yo, that's kind of weird. Yeah, daddy,
I want The only way this is gonna make sense

(16:44):
is if Donald Trump Jr. Also had like a painting
career he was trying to drop in. Hunter was like, actually,
I'm gonna do this first and steal all. That's the
only way this would make sense to me. Then the
sad part is like his art's like really good because
he's so tortured from like like not because having a
relationship with his father, and it's so vivid his work,
it's paint portraits of him in his bathroom. There, that's

(17:06):
the right. Did they want to actually listen to that
fight commentary from September eleven where Trump and Trump Junior,
because it was apparently like his disdain for Donald Trump
Junior was like palpable, like like like tell him to
shut up kind of ship. Yeah, yeah, like he ignored
him other than to correct him. And there was another

(17:29):
person doing the broadcast with them who was an actual
m M A fighter, and Trump was, you know, as
he as he is wanted to be like very impressed
by big strong men and was just like deferring to
him and basically implying that Donald Trump Junior should shut
the funk up. He's like, I'm sorry about my kid.
He's kind of an embarrassment. He speaks out of turn

(17:51):
of life. And you see you see his arms like
two big Christmas hands. As I said, bick note buddy,
the secrets and toll his room energy. You just have
to ignore everybody, just only time in to correct them. Yes,
he would never call Junior buddy. By the way, what
is what is something you think is underrated. I would

(18:13):
say the Capital Riders, man, you know, I was there.
I think we talked about this last time. I keep
thinking about how insane it is that more almost all
of them walked in after the cops had already given up,
did their little tour, and left, And I keep thinking
back to that, and I'm like, Yo, honestly, that's like
the dream for some of these protesters, Like if the

(18:35):
Women's March, we're able to just kind of storm in
after all the violence that ord occurred, so their hands
are basically cleaned. They're basically being allowed in because the
cops had given up and they don't want to die
for the building. That's kind of an amazing feat. So
I don't know, I feel like everyone's been, including myself,
just talking about these people like they're crazy, sickos and

(18:56):
psychos and they all live in like a shed in
the middle of the woods like the bomber. But they
got it done then, they got it done right. Yeah,
that strategy works. And a white supremacist country, when it's
a bunch of white people fighting for white supremacy, what's
your reason first storming the capital today? If it's something

(19:18):
anti capitalist, we will shoot you in the face immediately
white supremacy right this way, Yeah, to the left. We
have windows that we failed to reinforce with any kind
of safety measures. They're right underneath the building. If you
just smash those out, you'll get right in right. It's like, honestly,
I don't know. And I mean to your point about
them being underrated when you look at that. We I

(19:39):
talked about this all the time. The sentences that are
being handed down to these people are like the lightest
slaps on the wrist. Dude, they're getting to go home. Yeah,
they're attacking cops and they're like, oh, it's okay. You
can do like you're serving you can you can basically
serve your term at home. You're lucky you don't get
shot if you're you're the wrong color, right, or just

(20:00):
do and there And to think that in places like Minneapolis,
like we're talking about last week, they were using words
like we're hunting, we're going out hunting that they were
like a game. Yeah, I mean, do you think because
I was it was funny before we came on. I
was talking about like I always I always read your
work in Slate, and I remember one of the around

(20:22):
the time of the what was it like the September eight,
the Big Justice for j six wet fart of a rally.
You had written a piece about how like they don't
really need to and they don't need to gather in
physical space anymore. Like they've they they've already seen that
they have each other out there, and now it's more like,
let's shift our focus on actual ways to exert kind

(20:44):
of power than just showing up screaming. And that's the
scary part is that they've they've kind of learned their
lessons from the capitol right where they they just discovered
what's the benefit from doing something like that and what
they can lose. And maybe some of them had the right,
the right uh, the right reaction, where like, yo, we're
actually losing the middle ground here. But we can go
to these school board meetings and scream our asses off

(21:06):
about wanting to save the children, and anybody who screams
against us looks like they're trying to kill kids on purpose.
That's sort of an easy win. And they know that
those people are not going to be protected. They can
follow them home and they can threaten them with guns
or whatever they want, and they're gonna be fine and
doing so, and so I think they've learned their lesson
and they realize that they can actually get those people
to quit and run unopposed and get their jobs and

(21:29):
just basically start grooming the next generation by red pilling
them before they even know what's what. Yeah, and it's working.
It's working. It's I don't think anybody's really figured out
a how to stop them from doing that and be
how to get people to hold these positions. You know,
how do we get people who are going to be
stucked and threatened and have their families threatened with violence?

(21:52):
How do we tell them hold your ground? Otherwise these
people are going to be rewriting your kids textbooks. It's
sort of a lose lose situation, right, Yeah, it's like that.
It's sort of like, I mean, in a terrible like analogy,
but like you're trying to get into like the big club,
like the Sormu of the capitals, like yo, that nice
club you know where the celebrities go, and they're like, no, man,
you can't get in here, Like fuck it, We'll go

(22:13):
to this dive bar. I know we can get into where.
That's how they're like, okay, well we couldn't exert power there.
There's places where it's the easiest point of entry into
decision making positions, like in our communities, and that's where
we'll go instead because nobody's checking there. Yeah, did you
guys see what happened in Tennessee? Now what happened like
Q and On conspiracy woman is now head of textbooks

(22:35):
in Tennessee, and so now she's gonna be the one
deciding what textbooks kid bought and what's being taught in
these classes across the boards for the whole state. And
she's like this conspiracy Q and On person. It's it's like,
that's the ground that we can't see. We're already losing it.
And this is where I know I'm not shipped because
I'm immediate, like I need to write that motherfucking textbook

(22:56):
and get rich. If she's buying books, I'm like, you're
gonna love I take on American Ross me didn't American
didn't exist seven All right, let's say it was. It
began with Bill Clinton's Lewinsky affair. Yeah, exactly, that was Yeah. Actually, no,

(23:21):
I guess Ronald Reagan would have to be the founding father. Okay, Okay,
my bad. I'm I'm a workshop. There you go, all right,
let's take a quick break and we'll come back. And

(23:42):
we're back, and let's talk about some of the people
that you know, we've covered a few stories about how
like outrage healthcare workers are refusing to get vaccinated, cops
are willing to walk out, and so there we're starting
to see like some results from overall, like you know,
companies that had put in place vaccine mandates and it's

(24:06):
like it's seems to be generally like one only one
percent of people refused to be vaccinated and have to
be let go. Yeah, I mean there's like sexier numbers
like in New York, like we're four hundred people, we're
going to be terminated and things like that. But you
know there's places like United where they have sixties seven

(24:26):
thousand employees, only six hundred ended up leaving, or like
a healthcare system in North Carolina that employees over thirty
five thousand, it's only like a hundred and twenties something
that left again like less than one percent. And I mean,
I think there's like this, you know, clearly there's a
there's a like schadenfreud to aspect. I think to it
because the majority of the nation is like, we can't

(24:48):
just let these people like hold us back. So the
idea that it's like, oh they're taking elves with their careers, yeah, yeah, yeah,
we want to see that. But I think it's also
it's giving people a very skewed idea of like just
how like what the resolve is of many people to
be like yeah, like I'm I'm all about freedom. I
don't need a job. It doesn't seem just like that.
There was a CNBC story that was like about Northern

(25:11):
Illinois University, like vaccine mandates are like causing people to
like drop out, but if you read the article, it's
only like two people. So you spent all this, you
spend all this, all these resources to write a story
with this headline, but yet when it boils down to it,
you're like, yeah, two people of the thousands took off,
and where I don't know, it's it's just kind of

(25:33):
a just a moment where I'm like looking at Okay.
So clearly I know conservative media is incentivized to keep
the outrage about vaccine mandates, you know, like brewing as
long as possible. But then even like on just other media,
sites just seems like even you know, left or centrist
sites still a very similar thing to like very much
focus on this, and I think it gives people a

(25:54):
very different idea of what's happening. Yeah, and you know,
you were pointing out it in kind of your right
up here, that this is something that we've seen every
Like I've actually heard people specifically have this question, be
like there's no way that like when the smallpox vaccine
came out, or when the polio vaccine came out, like

(26:14):
there was this much resistance, like we're we are at
a uniquely dumb time, and you know that that's not
the case. There was resistance. It just wore down over time,
and we were able to you know, use vaccinations to
eradicate smallpox by you know, after it was over the
course of like fifty years, but it did at the

(26:36):
time right now. Yeah, but but yeah, like there were
people like marching on schools to be like, we don't
want our kids to get the smallpox vaccine, like back
back at the beginning of the twentieth century, and cities
and town towns all over the U S face backlash
over the mandates, but it just didn't gain as much

(26:58):
traction as people being like, yeah, this appears to be
working because their friends movements, you know, in their estence.
You know, this is like a microcosm of exactly what
the hell is wrong with the way that we consume
news and the way we even write about news. You know,
I hate talking about media as a pejorative, especially someone
who's like in the media as a writer, because there's

(27:20):
so many people who disagree, and you know, it's it's
the way we decide on what gets written about has
nothing to do with what stories we think are the truest.
It's like, what do we think people are going to
engage with? Right, That's just how everybody in the media,
no matter big or small. That's how we think of
what's the successful piece. And that's a problem. I'm saying.
That's like, well, that's what's wrong with it. But then,

(27:40):
you know, based on the way we consume news media,
we're sort of piecemealing whatever our reality is, and so
it doesn't matter if we write about the the fifteen
that quit or the hundred and fifty who didn't. You know,
even though the clear majority, depending on how you feel
about the vaccine in the first place, that what you're
gonna see that's what you're gonna attach yourself to. You know.

(28:03):
I don't know if you guys saw the there was
like a death last week. There's this woman out in
Seattle named Jessica berg Wilson who lost her life, uh, supposedly,
because this is all we know is what was written
in habituary. Supposedly because she took the J and J
vaccine and got symptoms and eventually died and lost her life.

(28:23):
And she was like this young, healthy person, and so
she's if that's true, that's the fourth person in America
who died after taking a vaccine. The fourth person, and
there have been millions of doses that have been handed out,
but that fourth person is enough for all of these
anti vaccine pundance and mouthpieces or even news websites that

(28:46):
are they're going to attach themselves to the story and
pump out like four or five six articles just about
those four just about though that family that now doesn't
have a mom in their life because of what happened
to her, which is a real thing and it's a
tragic thing. That's four out of millions, So it's it's
really got. It really just comes down to what you
already think, which is really scary. Yeah, yeah, right, and

(29:08):
who's how are you? How will it affect your confirmation bias?
That's the that's the problem with doing your own research.
I think that's why it's so scary to throw your
weight behind it, because it's like doing your own research
really in this day and age where there's so much
information and it's impossible to tell what's real and what's
wrong because sometimes what's wrong is has a grain of
reality attached to it, And so do you do your

(29:31):
own research and you're basically looking for what validates what
you already think. And that's why it's so easy for
some of these people to say, do your own research,
and they expect you to find what they're finding, which
is the stories like Jessica burg Wilson's and not the
millions of others that have had no symptoms and then
now going to ban because they have a vaccine. Right,

(29:52):
it would be wild if they just do like a
versus battle of like uh, like you know, microbiologists, epidemiologists,
tagg team versus like Robert F. Kennedy and some other
like anti vax truth or and like this is what
we're gonna do it's gonna be a fair one. Okay,
we're gonna bring up points, you're gonna let them say
some wild ship. Then scientists will speak, and then the

(30:14):
audience from there will decide. I feel like in that way,
you could be like, can you agree to that? Like
if we put your person up against some experts, that
that would be cool. You could just watch them go
toe to toe. But maybe then they're like, yeah, they
were cheating. They were cheating the whole thing, Like they
were cheating scientists. You can't cheating versus what happens happens,
And that's the that's the law exactly as Dips it.

(30:35):
There's the thread of this doctor like talking about how
he talks to people are skeptical of the vaccine that
I brought up a couple of times on the show,
but he the main kind of takeaway from me is
that he's amazingly patient with like every single one of
the counter factuals that people like bring up to him,

(30:56):
and also acknowledges the fact that yeah, there have been
like reactions to the vaccine, just like there are any vaccine.
Here are the numbers though, and like kind of getting
ahead of that and that that seemed really smart to
me to just be like and then here are your
chances if you don't get the vaccine, of contracting COVID,

(31:17):
which is like hundreds of times higher than having a reaction,
and then of dying from COVID, which are still like
dozens of times higher than having a reaction, probably still hundreds.
I don't know. Anyways, we have to get to important ship.
Matthew McConaughey has spoken. I'm seeing pick up for this
like everywhere in the media. The Hollywood Reporter just sent

(31:40):
me a notification being like here, Matthew McConaughey would be
risking at all with the governor run, but he'd also
stand to gain a lot. And it's it's like, why
is this right a millionaire? Like but yeah, so we've
all been speculating, like what, like just the idea of

(32:02):
Matthew McConaughey gubernatorial run seems very strange. We have no
real idea of what his platform would be and we
still don't um but he talked about it. He said
some words kind of at that question. It's like, is
he gonna is this gonna be a reality based campaign?

(32:24):
Will it be a sick ass character study character bit
he's gonna do, and just based on his answers, it
kind of sounds like both is what this thing is
going to be like because he went on Karat Switcher's
podcast and he he had ideas, he had thoughts. First off,
just on the abortion band SBA in Texas. He was like,
it's ruthless, it's terrible, Like he's like the trickery involved

(32:46):
with the like legal wording is despicable. Six weeks is
not enough time for anyone, for anyone to make a
reasonable decision, as it would relate to that. So that one, okay,
seemed like he was on the reality based, reasoned sort
of crew there on masks, he said, we were all
more afraid of the word mandate than we were the
damn mask And I think our pride trumped and stamped

(33:08):
down our honor there. We chose privilege over principle. Starting
he's starting to heat up though, getting a little McConaughey here,
and then he really then they were like, okay, so, like,
what how do you think about your relationship to politics
and like where you fit in and all this stuff.
He says, I'm working on what I'm trying to understand
politics to beat WHOA, Okay, I think we've got to

(33:31):
redefine politics. If each party is only about preservation of party, well,
I'm almost arguing that's undemocratic. I mean, there's something to that.
And then he says, if you're only there too, you know,
by hook or by crook, preserve your party, you're leaving
out fifty of the people. So I think politics needs
are redefining. Can only okay, okay, what else you got?
Then he said, look, I'm not a man who comes

(33:54):
at politics from a political background. I'm more of a statesman, philosopher,
singing poet. I don't talk I talk people, statesman philosopher,
folks singing poet. Thank you. That's what I was waiting for.
I was waiting for something something like that. And I

(34:16):
don't know, Yeah, I guess I'm not sure what his
philosophy is. Aside from him, I think he's also on
that young like radical centrist ship because he's like, the
way I look at it, there's six people out there
that's the majority, and we have to find it from
the center. Man, And you're like, oh oh boy, trying
to fuck me with this answer. That's like just like

(34:38):
the ship that a boy was at a party like
trying to fuck you, just like are you brushing my
hair back? I'm more of like a statesman, philosopher, folksinging poet,
if you okay, sir, thank you? Alright, alright, alright, alright.

(34:59):
So yeah, I don't know, well this is I mean,
only from that last only of Texans are like yeah, yeah, yeah,
maybe maybe maybe. I mean, it doesn't seem like the
right state for that sort of thing either, Like I
mean he I know he's from Texas and like is
a proud Texan that Texans are proud of. But I
do feel like there's a there's also like maybe mayor

(35:21):
of Austin would work, but you feel like, yeah, you know,
he reminds me of man, he reminds me of somebody
like joining a random club and thinking they have it
all figured out and you just feel like, oh, you're
that kid is so naive. He's stepping into It's like
if you actually think about what people vote on and
like how they vote, they rarely, they rarely look at

(35:44):
like trying to solve the problems that we have. They're
just like thinking of the one issue they care about most,
and they're like, well, how does this politician think about
this one issue? How do they care? What do they
think about Texas? And they're just gonna vote whoever is
going to make their taxes cheaper, or you know, there's
some people to voters on, like abortion and only abortion.
You know. So it's like, I don't know, man, I

(36:07):
don't know how many people are really convinced that politics
can be redeemed and that there can be a like
utopia America or people politicians aren't slimy scumbags. It's like,
that sounds great, that sounds nice. I think everybody who
gets into politics might think that at some point, But
then you get there, then you just like people doing

(36:29):
favors for each other, and it's like people, I don't know,
it's not it's not that clean. I got involved right
when Obama was running and I was like, here we go.
So there's this lobbying firm and I'm like, yeah, bro,
we will help get this fucking healthcare. And then you're like, wait,
who's paying my wait? Who cuts my checks? And I'm
like wait, we work for this industry, what the fuck?

(36:51):
And then I'm like na, dude, I can't I can't
keep doing this ship this is like but very idealistic
because you have this belief you're like, yeah, it's just
like the right amount of people, but you're playing a
rigged game, and so until you can like change the rules,
there's not much that can be done. So I think
that's why the emphasis really needs to be a little bit.
People need to zoom out a little bit more and
be like, it's not just the people that you get

(37:13):
in there, Like it's fundamentally you're sending them into the
terror dome. So there's pretty much only one outcome. Yeah,
any any one of these experienced politicians will just eat
him alive, man, and they're just gonna get him to
say what they want him to say on like the
condition they help him with something else. And that's just
how politics works behind the scenes, you know, even someone
like AOC who everybody is like she's the only principled one.

(37:36):
I see it all the time. People believe that, right,
and then you see that she's like voting absent on
something she really fast very hold on, we're on that
iron dome funding, right, and she's just gonna sit quietly
because she feels like she has to. M I don't know,
And I'm like yo, just flame out, do you and
if they vote you out, then go out a legend
because you could probably come right back in. But like

(37:58):
it's but there aren't many politicians and who are willing
to go I will I will ride this ship till
the fucking wheels blow off and I'm voted the funk out.
And Yeah, when you start seeing people triangulate and do
ship like that, you're like you're starting to become You're
you're understanding the hill a little bit, and you're trying
to survive the hill. You're doing hill survival moves. I

(38:20):
do wonder what the like there there were all these
uh stolen Facebook numbers that indicated to Bannon and you
know what whatever that data firm was that they're that America, Yeah,
Cambridge Analytica. That America was like right for an outsider candidate,
Like I think it was a couple of years before
the presidential election, and that's why they backed Trump kind

(38:41):
of reluctantly. I I wonder what those types of numbers
say about the country now, because it does seem like
we're still kind of, you know, disillusioned with politics as
it currently exists, but we're also disillusioned with the presidency
of the outsider that they chose last time, So I

(39:02):
don't know, I'd be curious. That's what I gonna I
was like, here's all the ways that Bernie could still win,
Like this is how you do it right. I'm one
of those people too where I'm just like sort jaded,
and I get why people say they don't want to vote,
because it feels like we don't really have like we
don't get to choose we want to vote. We get
to vote against the person we don't want, and that's

(39:24):
just the system we have and it sucks, but that's
what we got. And it's hard to start there knowing
that that's what the situation is, trying to convince someone
to to vote with you because you know that this
person isn't perfect. It's like all the people who wanted Biden,
and it was the purpose was to get Trump out right, Yeah,
I hope. I'm not like shattering anyone's reality by saying that,

(39:44):
But that's really why I want to bite it in.
I was like, Yo, Trump is gonna kill us all,
and I don't want to end up on a list
because he like floated that idea about Muslims. I was like,
I gotta get this guy out of here before he
started doing that. And you know, that's the that's the baseline,
that's what we're already. And so when you have someone
like Matthew McConaughey come in and say like, look I
can fix this, it's like, really, you're you're you're not

(40:07):
selling us on anything new. You're coming in and you're
gonna say I'm going to be the right person. That's
what they all say. And then they come in and
then something happens and then now all of a sudden,
Gauantanomo is not getting close, and now a sudden, we're
gonna do healthcare, but it's gonna look like this. It's
not gonna be free. It's everybody's making compromises. Everybody's making
compromises because they had that one issue they got to
get through. So I don't know, I almost rather him

(40:29):
come in and say, look, we gotta fix the wealth
gap and everything I'm gonna talk about, I'm gonna bring
back to the wealth gap. Okay, that's a serious that's
a serious strategy. Yeah, all the all the pain you're
feeling is because of inequality. So that's what I'm here for. Everything.
I can watch say anything any topic right now, I'll
bring it right back to inequality for you sucking anything

(40:51):
go and no one talks like that. I mean that's
the other thing is that I think just the way
people are communicating to it's still like this hybrid of
like old Gate bell Way talk, but also just like
with trying to be somewhat more conversational when really these
people need to speak directly at the ills and how
to solve them. But everyone's different. Because I was like,
this person just hates America. It's like, no, I'm identifying

(41:14):
issues and they're fucked. But my kind might be like,
I can fix it, man, unlike a Buick Enclave one
that will not ever need any fixing because they're seventy
two more quarantine serial percent are financing for qualified borrowers.
I mean, we're looking at a new adventure. Sales pitch

(41:34):
is always like yeah right, it's just so wild they
start encore the Buick Encore g X. Your point on
people voting for Biden because because he was against Trump
is interesting. I maybe in the minority here. I actually
voted for Biden based on the art of his son Hunter,

(41:56):
But I don't know like that, that's a sensitive man,
that artist. Yeah, exactly, we need more news articles about
the people who voted for Biden, only for right. All right,
let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

(42:20):
And we're back, and there is a new conspiracy theory
that is circulating on the right that you've actually seen
evidence of if you saw or heard Joe Rogan talked
about how he thought that Joe Biden didn't actually get
the booster shot and that that was like a fake
booster shot that he got right because he might have

(42:42):
freaked out on camera. Yeah, he was like he could die,
He could have died of the of the reaction. Die.
So that is actually was first forwarded by a bunch
of people who think that Joe Biden has built a
fake sound stage on which he appears and pretends to
be in the White House. And they uses this evidence

(43:05):
where he he is photographed in front of windows that
like have you know, projections of the Rose Garden on them,
and they are like, this is clearly a sound stage.
He isn't actually the president. We are watching a movie
with a fake president and Donald Trump is the real president.
Is what one Q and on one Q and on

(43:27):
thought leader claimed other people are just using it as
like sort of a brought like jack uh posts o
Biac is calling it the Truman Show Presidency, which quickly
got pulled bubbled up onto Fox News where was quote
Truman Show presidency. Biden ridiculed for using fake White House set.

(43:48):
And first of all, that's that's published on Fox News.
Those words out, What do they even mean? What is
that article? Even like, I'm sorry, I'm still hung up
on the thing that you're saying. People are using his
evidence that there was was he actually were there actual
projections of the rose garden in the window or they
mistaken the fact that like the windows they are like

(44:08):
so bulletproof, like it distorts things when you look through it. No. No,
So there is a building in the White House complex
where lots of presidents have had made appearances. He is
doing most of his appearances from there because it is
a bigger room than the rooms in the White House.
And apparently, and I haven't confirmed this, but we're in

(44:30):
the middle of a global fucking pandemic, and so they
don't want a lot of people like a you know,
press swarm of a swarm of press people in the
same room as are like nine year old president during
a global pandemic, and so it's like this big kind
of room in the Eisenhower Executive Office building connected to

(44:52):
the White House. The press is fully like there are
many photographs that show that it is just a back drop,
like the faux White House aesthetic was created for the
Global Coronavirus Summit, but it's in no way looks like
what would fool anyone. And in fact, the the the

(45:16):
projection in the window had the words built back better
floating in the middle of it, which should have been
a dead giveaway. But uh yeah, yeah, yeah there. There's
so many pictures where it's clearly he's in an auditorium
for policy announcement because it's bigger, and he's not trying

(45:39):
to die from the pandemic, and he's not trying to
kill a bunch of press people from the pandemic. And
it's just so easy to fact check, like Fox News
knows it's laughably bullshita like untrue, because they are invited
to these events. There there, Yeah, they're right there. They

(46:04):
know nobody's trying to pull one over on them, but
they can report on I mean this kind of ties
into the theme of the episode, they can report on
the social media response, which makes it like technically true,
despite the fact that the response happens to be a
bunch of bullshit and they know it. Dude. Have you
have you scrolled down to look at the comments on

(46:24):
the Fox News website. Dude, there's so much despaired going on.
Someone's like, I feel like we're living in a simulation.
Things are just getting more bizarre by the day. Someone
else is like, I can see this coming from a
mile away. Biden's approval of ranking is falling. Oh my god, man,
they believe they believe this. I mean, the q and

(46:48):
On kind of conspiracy theory is funny because one person
is like, in case you need any more proof, you're
definitely watching a movie with a fake president, look no further.
And then they said, I challenge you to find me
one picture like this while Trump was at the White House.
I'll wait, and it's like, no, they built that song
for this other thing. But also somebody like a q

(47:11):
and On believer was like, but like, so, who if
if Trump is still president, who's making all these terrible
decisions that we disagree with? They were shut up, They
didn't say, but I do think that that there is
some interesting questions for the like go just I mean, look,

(47:32):
if if you can see the fucking matrix, then explain
the fucking matrix. Don't just go we are watching a
movie right now, folks, and who is producing the film
and for what goal exactly and what and so if
it really and that's I think that's what's so I
think alarming, you know, is the energy, the mental energy

(47:55):
spend that's going into saying things out loud. He's like, no, man,
we're watching a movie. This is all fake. Man, Like,
that's a that should be a really scary place to
be more than thinking that Trump isn't the president, but okay,
go on, damn. They need to believe that he's both
like weak and sleep and doesn't know what's going on,

(48:18):
but also has like this elaborate conspiracy where he's pulled
the wool over everyone eyes and he's just pulling lever
behind the scenes as the strang country. It's I mean,
I'm curious to just hear your thoughts on like as
as somebody who is kind of part of the media,
like where you think we're headed in terms of like
Trump running again, and you know what what support for

(48:41):
him is gonna look like and you know what, what
are the vibes within vie vive check, what do you
do you think? Like he he had that um rally
over the weekend, but that like seems to indicate he's
going to do it again. But like, how do you like,
how are you thinking about it right now? I mean, yeah, anybody,

(49:02):
any reporter who was paying close attention to Trump during
his whole regime the last four years, it feels like
we haven't had a break yet, which is crazy. But
I mean it's obvious to anyone that he doesn't even
know what he's doing yet, and that right now he's
testing the water, so he's dropping a little couple of
hints and seeing how people react. He's waiting for the
polling to get back in because he's so terrified of

(49:23):
the embarrassment of the humiliation of announcing that he's running
again and most people not getting getting behind him. You know,
he's not going to run unless he knows for sure
that every Republican congressman is not gonna either not going
to run against him or get steamrolled by him. He
needs to know for sure before he risks his brand
like that, and you know, that's kind of how he

(49:45):
was president. You know, it's it's hard for me to
believe that he had some big, mystifying plan and the
whole thing was set up to push America in a
certain direction. He doesn't know, he doesn't know what he's doing, right.
He's shooting from the hip, trying to just see, like,
what what's going to please the magaverse the most, what's
going to make them the most engaged and the most

(50:06):
excited for the next election cycle or whatever. So that's
that's what's going on right now in Marilago. He's sitting
around asking his yes men, is now the right time?
Should I do it? What are people saying? How do
I How do I know for sure? Right? And I'm
sure he's getting getting it from both sides. There's that
poll that came out that showed that only of Republicans

(50:28):
want Trump to run. So who knows how that poll
is going to change between now and it becomes time
for him to announce, or what if that time is
going to happen, Because say that number goes down, that
could probably indicate to us that it's not going to happen.
The number goes up, I think it's gonna indicate that
he will. So that's that's where he's at. But on
the other hand, you know, I think he wants to

(50:50):
run mostly because he's still trying to get on Twitter.
He's still trying to have some sort of White House
prestige that he's holding onto. We saw that when he
was doing his like random press releases where he was
like typing in all caps. It's still him wanting to
be president. He wants people to care about what he thinks,
in the same way that Tucker Carlson wants people to

(51:11):
care about what he thinks. It's it's crazy, it almost
He should honestly just disappear and be glad that he
had to run, and who knows, if he's disappears forever,
his reputation might improve based on how bad people think
of a job that Joe Biden is doing, or whoever's
gonna come next, maybe it's the Santists or whoever. You know.
It rehabilitated George Bush's reputation. So my take is this,

(51:35):
he should disappear. He won't because he needs people to
know what he's up to and he needs them to
think that he's got a plan when he doesn't. I
feel like his kind of disappearance to this point has
been helpful to him because those numbers that you know,
support him running again, Like I think it's two thirds
of Republicans think he should like be involved like heavily

(51:59):
and the future of the party, and like that's up
I think from January six. So it's like moving in
the right direction for him with with him being artificially silenced,
and it'll be interesting like once he was able to
figure out how to start spouting off again. To January
six is the perfect indicator for this man, because when

(52:20):
January six happened, there was this sweep of consciousness that
it was just running wild through the Republican Party. Then
you had loyalists like Nicki Haley saying we've gone too
far and we need to reel it back. But just
this week she was on TV saying that January six
didn't happen and that racism doesn't exist in this country.

(52:42):
And so the more time we we have between like
January six and the Trump presidency, now, I think the
MAGA versus going to romanticize how good they had it
when Trump was running, even though they had the all
three branches of the government, but still weren't able to
do anything because they don't really have a plan. But

(53:05):
they're still going to romanticize it and think, well, Dan,
we had everything, the country was on track, the economy
was booming, and then as soon as they're the Democrats
took over, it all went to ship. So they're going
to tell themselves what they need to to imagine. Trump
is like this hero and you know, you ever see
like the Trump flags of him, his Rambo and he's
like rams and stuff like that's going to become That's

(53:26):
that's gonna be what they remember of Trump. So yeah,
if he stays quiet as a problem when you but
when I look at the polling, right almost a third day,
he should not remain a major political figure right among Republicans,
and twenty two percent said they would support another presidential
candidate that shared his values. To me, I see more

(53:46):
of like a schism there where I think the people
who are like like newly minted conservative wonks, I guess
think like, no, man, like we're not going to be
able to win with Trump, Like that's clear, like if
we really want to go full steam with this like
fascist ethno nationalist agenda, then it has to be someone else,
and it seems like if that's people's aims, there's on

(54:07):
some level they understand that it energizes people to be
against Trump. So if they're thinking about it that way,
it's like, we like someone with the same fucked up
core beliefs, just not that brand because that's going to
be harder to win. But then you know, there's also
a lot of like operatives and people that he consults with.

(54:27):
Apparently the reporting is that like many of them are saying,
wait till after the fucking mid terms, because the second
you start going out there saying like I'm gonna run
and ship, it may funk up everything. And they're definitely
people who believe that. So, I mean, on some level
there's is like this sort of half reckoning with trying
to understand like from a purely electoral strategical standpoint, what

(54:50):
does it mean to have Trump anywhere near an election?
But then they're clearly there's who are watching a movie
right now? Did in I hope he's shook enough by
the people who boot him forgetting the vaccine that he
just like loses it like Chappelle and like just can't
focus on anything else. But like the people who disagree

(55:12):
with him and like his starts, uh you know, focusing
on that is that even the maga people like like
old Chappell faars like damn he used to have it man, right, Yeah, yeah,
he just won't stop talking about this fucking this election
and just focuses only on like the one piece of
negative feedback that he's gotten in ten years, and like
that becomes all he talks about. Or however he just

(55:35):
loses whatever confidence and like pocket he was in with
the mega thing. But I think, like anything, if like that,
you're gonna kick, You're gonna purge those people who are
making you feel those icky things. Yeah, yeah, you know, yeah,
I just really want Trump Junior to run so just
so we can watch him do this whole campaign and
not get his own dad's endorsement. He really wouldn't. He

(55:57):
fucking wouldn't completely fun sit up for him, Like I'll
be honest. I mean, he's he's completely unproven. He's he's
an amateur. He's a lightweight, so weight, total lightweight, that
kid u puny stick arms. I asked him to roll
up his sleeves next time you see him. Check out
his dry step definition nothing nothing, no Christmas hands, scantist

(56:21):
horseshoes back there, big old horseshoes. All right, let's talk
really briefly about deep fakes. Justin Bieber was folwed by
a Tom Cruise deep fake. I know this isn't like
the CIA being full Beaver is not error sharpest celebrity,
but Canada ry American North America's sharpest celebrity. But I

(56:47):
find it's still interesting because it's someone who wields immense
power online like fold for multiple hours, even created a
video so it was like a video of Tom Cruise,
like playing the guitar Tom Cruise from like twenty years go,
because he looked like way younger than he does now,
and it was very convincing, and people was like, whoa,
you're shredding, but like I still can. Apparently he's like

(57:09):
offered to fight Tom Creu like box Tom Cruise, so
like there was some of that. He became a thing.
And then people are like, hey man, that's that's that's
from an account called deep Tom Cruise. Like you it's
a deep think, but you know, sixty Minutes did a
report yesterday where they like it was about this. It
talked to a bunch of experts who are like, this

(57:30):
is going to be the biggest story of the next
like ten years it when it comes to media. And
it wasn't like somebody who just invented like a new
technology trying to like boost there. It was just like
somebody who pays attention to disinformation for a living. But
the things sixty Minutes did with it was they d
aged the reporter by thirty years, which is like a

(57:53):
suspiciously cool thing for the reporter using this like cutting
edge technology to make him like look more fun. Right,
He's like, damn, I look good, right, I can get it.
Huh the whole news media that's wild, right, yeah, But anyways,
I don't it's just the expert from the sixty Minutes report,

(58:16):
the CIA, FBI all seem pretty confident that in the
next twelve day, eighteen months, deep fakes are going to
be used to influence foreign operations in some way, which
seems very easy for me to imagine, but also like
I can't quite figure out like the the exact scenario
unfortunately nobody else has, but like it does seem like

(58:39):
it could easily be used to just completely fun everything.
I mean, it's all it takes is just a fucking
fake quote from someone, and even if it's debunked, you know,
kind of like just the momentum that people already have
going in this country. It's like, well, if I want
to believe that about this person, like I don't give
a ship because then people would be like, yeah, but
he would say something that it's like what someone's rebuttal

(59:02):
might be like that's not real, Like that's actually I
was like, yeah, but either way either not either way, yeah, yeah,
I just got chills from that. Either way, No, not
fucking either way. Then just tell me what the two
ways are and tell me why that you're still not
fucking disturbed or alarmed. But yeah, I just I mean

(59:23):
that's where I feel like, that's like the lower I
feel like the lowest hanging fruit before we see something
like you know, Trump, like you know, doing what messy
one v one like with a soccer ball or something.
I would love to see that though, or like Fauci
like talking about the conspiracy behind the vaccine or something.
I could definitely see that doing all. It almost feels
like if like Crank Colors and we're running the show

(59:46):
behind the scenes and like what we were seeing was
all just like Crank called after Crank Call, Like there's
like that stupid video that ruled my childhood. It was
like that you kicked my dog thing, uh Paul, So
like that to me was like a fake thing that
didn't matter because it was like funny. But now it
feels like that's going to be the standard, and that's
what people are gonna be like putting money behind because

(01:00:08):
they want two like grassroots create like movements, and so
I don't know, man, it's it's really it's really sketchy.
I just saw this sole like non binary universal progressive
looking at on on the internet that was all about
like making abortion illegal and protecting the Republicans from passing

(01:00:30):
that law in Texas, and it was like, I'm non binary,
I'm LGBT, I'm this, and I support banning abortion. You know.
It's like we're just gonna have to get used to
that of where people are just gonna be putting whatever
because they think that that's what you want to see.
Are like they think that that's like the shortcut to
actually creating a movement, and it's gonna work. It's gonna work.

(01:00:51):
That's the funny part. That's the funny part, right, I'm
a non binary Asian person. I support female camps put
politic cool dissidence. It's like, wait, what the fun Huh?
I don't know figured that the messenger was an important
part now, No, there's still some value. I'm still coming
to grips with the fact that the racist prank called

(01:01:13):
Kirk Paul kick my dog is fake. Apparently Kirk Paul
never said those things. The future is an Arnold Schwarzenegger soundboard. Frank,
that's what, Yeah, is the original. I hope you're leaving
the room for my fist because I'm going to rab
it into your stomach. I will buy switch board. This

(01:01:39):
is the switch board at the Gator Lodge. What do
you love that ship? How are you? Oh? Man? And
it's been a pleasure as always. Uh where can people find?
You can find me on Twitter amon dot com spelled
y m A and then d O T C O N.
I just wrop the new podcast though. If you like

(01:01:59):
the sound of my voice. It's called screwed Over. It's
interviews with people who have created spaces for themselves industries
that have traditionally asked him out, so, you know, really
dope interviews with like a plus size model who now
does adds for like Target, a woman graffiti writer who
started doing graffiti at a time where women were not
allowed to in a lot of ways, and now she's
doing fashion and designer stuff, a lot of lope interviews,

(01:02:21):
and of course you get to hear my silky smooth
voice on it, so plus plus yeah. Yeah. And is
there a tweet or some of the work social media
you've been enjoying. I think I have to give the
award to a tweet the hate. But it's so funny
because of what happened afterwards. It was a tweet by
Josh Mandel of Ohio. I think he's running. He never
won a race, but he takes Twitter bio. Oh my god,

(01:02:43):
I just looked at it. It says first statewide official
in Ohio support President Trump. Oh my god, the curinge. Anyways,
I was a Trump fan. Cool bro, cool identity you have. Anyways,
he tweeted by by advancing the live critical race theory

(01:03:05):
the liberals are stomping on the grave of Martin Luther
King and so he got quote tweeted by Bernice King
runs the account be a King, which you should follow,
by the way, because all she doesn't beat up on
Republicans for reason Martin Luther King. He said, Dear Josh
Josh Mandel, Ohio, I invite you, if you truly desire
to advance the cause of humanity towards true peace, to

(01:03:27):
study my father's teachings are full in context, he was
not a drum major for a color blind society. Justice
which requires truth about our past and present. Which if
that wasn't enough, Josh Mandell was like, I want more.
He tweeted back and he was basically like, no, actually
that's not your actually actually no, he did that, and uh,

(01:03:52):
it was just hilarious. It was a great day for Twitter. Honestly,
there were most days where out I'm scrolling and I'm like,
why am I doing this? Why do I have this?
And then you see something like that and it's like,
That's why, that's why Twitter exists. Miles, where can we

points at gatorade in store fridge. Jonah at camp was
telling me about the blue gatorade. Me, you are not

(01:04:35):
to drink it. I just heard about it. Then quietly,
just want to taste the blue blue. Man, this whole
life up, Just tell me. Another one is a quote
tweet from at garbage Ape, so quote tweeting an article
from the Hill where it's like a it's like a

(01:04:56):
clothing rack of like you know, Nazi uniforms. It says
three million euros worth of Nazi memorabilia found in alleged
pedophiles home, and then garbage Jape said thanks for including alleged.

it's fair. But to be honest, Jason's world has the
horniest women. No way, I won't be caught lacking in
some cheeks. I lose. He could kick Chucky's asked Norman, Babe, Yeah,
