one nine seven five nine five what's the number again four four three two one
nine seven five nine five and let us know he thought indeed yes so Aquaman
had a billion dollars yeah so everyone in the United States everyone around the
world is dumb except Corey yes Corey is the only smart person there's a lot of
people who spent money on it and then felt bad about it after the fact I
haven't heard any of that so that would be news to me hmm
the only negative you I heard was on the Corey Baker filmmaker
on YouTube YouTube and the comments did not seem to disagree with the sentiment
of the video maker there was there was one purse
who adamantly disagreed with me but then I got a lot of likes on that video so I
don't know what to tell you hmm being likes out number of the dislikes
by quite a healthy margin yeah yeah yeah but the comments though the comments the
people who took the time to type something out not just hit a but it's
three to one on the likes for that one mm-hmm and just be it
there was one that liked it and then one person who didn't so it's 50/50 on the
comments okay so whatever you say listen and I I don't take any great joy in and
saying mean things about a movie and I don't I don't do it for sport like a lot
of people like there's the we had a big laugh about the pixels review there was
some youtuber who is just like you know like the just going into the like ramped
up obscenity of it all and I don't I don't feel the need to do that because
there's people who spent time on this and worked on it and stuff like that and
I don't I don't feel like it's right to just like carpet-bomb an entire entire
film production but the problems with Aquaman were so easily identifiable and
so like it would you would be it'd be like if you're talking about a football
game where say you're a Bears fan Cody mark parky misses the field goal at
the end of the game yeah his only job is to make that kick it's not like the key
know that I showed you and you say I could've made to do but like at the end
of the day you're you're there to to perform so if the one person who doesn't
perform is the kicker then it's right to say man the Bears could have maybe won
this game if Cody Parker didn't miss that kiss kick you know yeah and the
similar situation could be I could say the same thing with there were so many
things that were wrong that it's clear it wasn't somebody low on the totem pole
it wasn't like a rogue camera op who was ruining that movie yeah it was the
direction it was the people above the director it was the executive board
whoever is in charge of making sure that the DC Cinematic Universe goes out there
the way that they want it to go I failed there was a there was a executive
bailing I just I hope and probably one day you're
sitting in a meeting somewhere and they're like oh you know we're really
excited to get this project moving uh what's that Cheryl yeah okay did you
tweet back in 2018 that James Wan phoned it in yeah on the set of alcaman yep
sure did you spent seventeen minutes rate ranting about it on YouTube I did
thanks for coming in time we appreciate it we validate have Cheryl validate you
on the way out yeah that's gonna be the moment I would hope that listen I I'm
not I'm not immune from this I've had people be critical of my work before and
it's not fun and it's not anything that anyone likes to hear but I think it's
it's important for the at the end of the day what I'm trying to do with the film
reviews is I'm trying to lend my particular insight into the process so
there's a lot of people who review films there's people who are professional
reviewers people who just watch movies and then break it down compared to Lake
you know the Me's on scene compared to blob of great artists and stuff like
that there's film critics who just have jobs as film critics because someone
literally hired them for AIDS about movies yeah and there's you know like a
ton of people ton of fans on YouTube who do it too I think that the I haven't
seen as many people who are filmmakers who decide to do it and I think that it
gives me more of an opportunity to sort of talk about it it's like an organism
like how something like this could have possibly gone wrong or the things that
could have been done to fix it and a lot of times I end up saying things like you
know it was a really good effort but it didn't live up to this particular you
know they were they were going for this but it didn't quite get there sure I
think I said about like Bohemian Rhapsody like for a movie that's so much
about like how Queens music rocks like the music the actual mixing on the
soundtrack did it rocked that much mm-hmm like it didn't like feel
atmospheric around you like it didn't feel like a special version of listening
to Queens just listened to like somebody put Queen on on the stereo okay you know
justtake married Hollywood just take note of all the terrible things Gor
using all of these comments yeah it doesn't seem to hurt a lot of it you
know I think more and more as we as we live in the Trump era I realized that it
it used to be that you you tried to do everything you possibly could to not
have like a negative reputation of yourself yeah but I think there's a
certain number of people that there's like a threshold of negative criticism
that you can get to okay and as long as there's enough people to like back up
the other side of it then it kind of works out so like Kevin Hart like he's
got just enough people backing him that they're like well I mean I'm saying like
Kevin Hart doesn't have to worry about not working this year because of he's
got enough people supporting all the things that he does to make up for the
people who are now feel burned by him yeah yeah so I mean like it's just sort
of like a given take like at what point you know I got obviously I don't know
what happened in Aquaman I wasn't I wasn't all I can see is the finished
product a son I heard it sounded like you did as you can inside I can't tell
you what happened on set and I can't tell you like to what degree James Wan
might have been putting out more fires and he's ever had to put out in his life
and you know it's you know that one person who works in your office or works
at you know your restaurant or whatever where the places who just doesn't know
what the fuck they're doing yeah and you're just like why does this person
have a job that those people don't just stop work you know they don't they don't
just get to your office they get to all the offices yeah somewhere in Warner
Brothers somewhere in all the studios there's some you know fuckup who doesn't
deserve a job and he's out there going like you know I don't think Nicole
Kidman's gotta age in this Aquaman movie at all I think she can just stay the
same age as everybody else even though everyone else in the movie ages and just
be like are we really gonna do this Jim are we gonna have a whole day where
we're going back and forth on it it's just like I just don't see the point why
we would age Nicole Kidman and like try and make her look older I mean like she
would we would rather make her and look younger just like I don't have time for
this younger though no but I'm sorry ages
appropriately for she didn't age at all no everyone else aged except for her she
was the exact same age she was in the beginning as she was in the end does
your mom how much different means Jason Momoa and they had an old Jason Momoa
yeah to show that at least you know like 20 years had passed 20 years had passed
does my mom look different now than she did 20 years ago yes she's almost
exactly the same as she did when I was a kid I think if you looked at a picture
of your mom like side-by-side I mean she we're going through the whole Facebook
you know like first profile picture versus yeah and you guys are all idiots
first of all I hate all of you I hate all of you stop it
basically my my timeline is nothing but these pictures and I'm convinced that
somebody reached out to Mark Zuckerberg and said you know what this AI that were
programming to to learn people's faces in doing such a good job well why is
that well because you able age age over time we can't teach you how to look for
those changes well if only we could figure out a way to make people post a
picture of themselves when they first joined and a picture of themselves right
now no you know what we can do that thanks BuzzFeed so you guys are all
idiots also I don't give a fuck what you look
like and have you people are posting you joined like three years ago you look
exactly the same so yeah yeah they have like 2009 the one that really bothers me
is like the people who like posted something from you know like oh here's
me in 2009 and here's me today and then you in 2009 is like nine years old and
I'm just like that damn I feel old as shit little girl with braces a superhot
model I'm just like what the fuck happened nine years ago so you mean what
like 96 97 what's 2009 how did that happen alright
yeah but no I should just do another one on Facebook where it's just like me as a
baby and me as just be like here's my ten year the new funny thing to do is to
post the the sperm picture and the picture of you guys is me thirty years
ago I'm still think I look good you're not
funny either oh you guys are the worst all of you are the worst and every time
I see one of these things pop up all I can think is there are too many people
we need a new plague I just need two white either I need to just be wiped out
and now I don't have to deal with it or we can wipe out a bunch of the stupid
people one of the yeah seeing as it wiping out this TV people let's uh do
this
I'm of course by stupid people I don't mean the fans what I mean is someone
over at the the Baltimore Ravens sports organization yes must be listening to
the podcast yeah they they must they must have heard that concept chance of
Corey is Right coming outside the castle walls yes of course of course now why
would that be coy why because after after much much a consternation on our
parts we barney morning wake is finally done let go of coordinator the Baltimore
Ravens yes Greg Roman is coming in I believe last week what I had said was
you want somebody who has taken a quarterback before and had a proven
success a proven track record of being able to take them from like you know
pretty good to exemplary right and you wanted somebody specifically who would
fit in within Lamar Jackson skills and skill set funny enough
Martin 40 was the coach of the Falcons way back when when Michael Vick was oh
really yeah use the offensive coordinator of the Falcons at the time
but it's okay because we replaced him with a better option I feel the guy who
was the offensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers when Colin
Kaepernick and then went to the Super Bowl hmm yes hmm
so Gregory woman is getting bumped up from quarterback coached offensive
coordinator have known but he was already with the team as the
quarterbacks coach yep yes so the dingdong Marty's dead we can move
on yeah so we're moving on yes and of course the question is what happens with
Joe obviously it's not gonna be on the team next year trade they're gonna try
and trade them somehow I imagine that a lot of teams how much the I mean there's
a lot of teams who are always looking for a quarterback yeah you know it could
probably end up being like one of those things like the Redskins usually end up
taking some washed-up guy like Donovan gonna have Romero did that well and I
read a story that was just like Joe big Joe's like washed-up I just think that
his best years are behind him but I think it would be interesting to see him
with the new team and try and reclaim some glory
I was the best of them I did read a story that said that he's gonna benefit
because it's not a great draft class this year as far as quarterbacks go
mm-hmm and in fact there are like there's like two or three juniors who
are talking about going early just because the class is so bad that they so
here's the math they're not the best quarterbacks in the nation but they're
good enough to they're good enough to play in the NFL so they go this year
instead of next year the likelihood they get drafted late in the first round or
by a better team is better if they prove themselves more in their senior year
then they're likely to get drafted by like oh I don't know the Cleveland
Browns and then end up like I have no calculus to back this up yes
it's just sort of how I seem to remember these things going so if I'm horribly
wrong on this and forgive me I'm just posturing mm-hmm but I feel like every
single year three or four quarterbacks get taken in the first round like a
minimum of like three or four a four or five four or five usually yeah I mean
something in that in that general area I mean it was the worst quarterback year
and the year where they keep saying like there's no quarterbacks to be taken
they're all there nobody know like you know Hall of Fame talent yeah there
still seems to be like three well now they get dressed like that's what
they're saying they're saying that there are maybe top two top two your
quarterbacks even coming out so these guys may come out because those two are
gonna go to the like Brown the Browns aren't gonna draft anybody because they
had their guys but the Browns type team the one that's Jets heard out Jets even
the Colts maybe I don't think I don't think that why me he's is he done for
the is he done he did not look great he looks great up until the playoffs until
last week until this weekend yeah all right
Oh quarterback in fantasy football I don't think they're trying to get rid of
him yet yeah all right bangles bangles who have a question a
quarterback maybe I mean Dalton is fine but getting older and you know he had a
injury this year the game ended his season early so try to think of a team
yeah Jets are probably the best example I really got you know Cardinals could
use the corners I mean they took Rosen last year but he doesn't look in
particularly inspiring yeah you know maybe the Raiders would want a
quarterback they'd trade Derek Carr the the forthcoming Las Vegas Raiders mm-hmm
yes who might be the San Diego Raiders for a year yeah so I don't know how we
talked about this I don't think hysterically amazing story so the
Raiders had announced that they're going to move to Las Vegas during last
offseason but they're not moving until 2020 season right yeah they they just
announced the last the last offseason that they were going to be moving to
Vegas yeah well they were ability in the stadium they were gonna continue playing
in Oakland Oakland two things lined up number one their lease ended this year
at the Coliseum so they would have had to renew some new lease to be able to
stay for the next two years yeah which the Coliseum said they didn't want
any part of and then the second part is the City of Oakland is suing the Raiders
yes for poor leaving yeah we're leaving yeah so other ones got to get out of
town and now they got to figure out where they're gonna play in the meantime
until they can move into the blades of Vegas yeah so they literally will be
raiding around California like they got the Mayflower trucks packed and what
they're doing is looking for a home now in less Baltimore fashion they are not
gonna cross state lines a little like they're gonna be looking for a place
nearby there's talks about having to play in LA somewhere you know maybe the
Rose Bowl or something there's more stadiums that could hold a team yeah
Roseville stadiums they were talking about like maybe doing like Dodger
Stadium or something like that or doing Angel Stadium
I also heard talk of them playing in San Diego and there was also like I think
this wouldn't work out but they were talking about playing in UNLV Stadium
for a couple years but I think that's out already so I don't know it'll be
funny to say it's gonna be really funny to see like San Diego fans going to
Qualcomm or whatever the hell it is called now yeah to see the races Raiders
being like go Raiders like they
so passionate about the Raiders for two years just to show the NFL like like
you're wrong being rid of us we're good we love football see that wasn't the NFL
that was the owner so I mean I mean the NFL allowed it to happen I guess it's
both the other owners allowed it down yeah a bunch of rich white guys got
together and decided to let their buddy who's a rich white guy do what he wanted
no big fucking surprise also known as the history of the Western civilization
there you go yeah so we get back to the topic morning wigs
out Romans in and Joe will probably find at home there's a couple of teams that
need a good quarterback here's my question to you and I think believe your
point was that you doubted that that Roman had any impact on Kaepernick
coming in for workouts last year or this year last year what was last a few years
ago was it - now this past offseason I think we're two seasons out of him being
out of San Francisco well whenever it was yeah but you don't believe that
Roman had any input in that I don't know if he was on the coaching staff at the
time yeah if he was and I imagine somebody talked to him and said like you
know hey what do you think about Colin as contantly you know do you think he'd
be a good fit here and stuff and he probably I imagine said nice things if
they went to the point where they were trying to think work out the contract
again I you know I I think that Colin Kaepernick probably would have signed
with the Ravens if he if his girlfriend hadn't gone gone a message there yeah
and that that doesn't seem like it again that's a perfectly reasonable reason to
not get a job if your girlfriend goes off on Twitter yeah but here's a comes
the owners slaveholder basically do you think do you think he's got another shot
to get Kaepernick back with the Ravens yeah oh that's a Robert Griffin was
under a one-year contract I mean he's good but I wouldn't say I mean I think
rg3 wants to start somewhere I doubt that he's gonna get that opportunity if
the Ravens think that he's good enough to be the backup then maybe you just
have some quarterback or you signed some like if you're RG 3 though you
no you're not gonna start in Baltimore I mean like unless you're her I mean like
it unless yeah there's only 32 starting quarterback positions if nobody's
willing to offer you one but you don't have to take a backup job you don't
necessarily know that I mean but do you sign with the Ravens cuz you know
they're not gonna trade you somewhere or do you go out and play the field and see
if you can get a starting job somewhere with it budget teams that need some
experience I mean I would think that it it's in his best interest to go out
there and test the market now I think he came here because he thought Lamar's not
ready and I got a chance to swipe this starting job a older quarterback who
doesn't move as well or didn't work out or we were one of only a couple of teams
that made him an offer I mean like I think you know that that's that that I
mean like it's like I want to I want to direct a Legend of Zelda movie yeah but
it's not like just because I said it out loud means that somebody has to all has
to offer me that job I mean also that exact our power of positive thinking or
something like that it's it's you you you have to be goodly enough to get that
that gig guys I have good IP which that's not it's been hours upon hours
like but I think in the end though I mean I think there's a better chance
that Kaepernick comes in Robert Griffin stays I just don't see a world in which
he's gonna stay as a backer I would I would say I would say the high
likelihood would be that RG 3 would stay before Cameron would come in yeah III
think he wants a starting job and he thought he was gonna happen Kaepernick
Kaepernick is as complicated as far as like bringing him in as an asset go yeah
because here's the know if Baltimore offers him a job he basically has to
take it I mean like think about it like you know like it's different because the
the longevity of running backs is different than quarterbacks but yeah you
know there was a when Ray Rice was released I would say like about a year
and a half two years afterwards is like when the stink had finally died off yeah
like where he could have gotten another job and there were people talking about
like do you think somebody will bring in Ray Rice er and he was still in a game
shape he's in game JP he was showing up at places looking like
he was ready to play yeah but nobody ever offered in that contract and he's
never gonna get it now because he just has been out for too long yeah I'm
saying like it's what about you know oh maybe you'll play in the XFL man or the
what's the other one the the pothead leaguers whatever I'm sure I remember
what the rule difference was the rule difference is it's exactly the NFL but
you can smoke pot that's right we don't care about the in the huddle hopefully I
mean hopefully in the stadium - shit wouldn't that be nice okay
beer sands and pants oh god you imagine how much thinking about it's like $8
Coors Light so I'm just like Oh $35 joints but you got your joints here all
right there are people because the other thing is they're gonna they're gonna
frisk you before you get in to make sure you're not bringing any outside weed yep
just gets patted down damn it got the dog what's with the dog man I
know it's it's to keep out the paraphernalia we're not gonna arrest you
it's good cause it it's gonna be an unusual number of balloons in the
bathroom like a clown's birthday in here
moving on quickly cuz we're already over half art there's only four teams left in
the NFL playoffs we move on yeah uh anyone but the Patriots anyone forget
your pager I just I'm just going ahead I'm thinking
ahead about what your question might possibly be flashes flashes in the
comments watching the show right now friend it's a friend of this show flash
oh you team can cheat and the QB gets suspended for four games easy way in is
she making reference to her own team I would assume that do you achieve and get
suspended 48 although uh New England's got to be looking for a
new quarterback coming up in the next maybe she was maybe she was saying
something about arg3 like spiking Joe's drink Wow they give earlier in the
season you she would've just like he would have pop some like a
human growth hormone and the joe's smoothie and then you test positive and
then he's out for four weeks and it's rg3 is time to shine he could have just
deflated some balls and then let the rest
apparently that's how you get suspended for a few games four teams in Patriots
Chiefs Chiefs and then Rams and saints yes so we have a chance here at an LA
stand not la Super Bowl but an LA team in the Super Bowl mmm what are you
thoughts honey I mean from this point on I I would I would say I'm rooting for
them just because I don't really care about any of these teams in particular I
think a golf mahomes Super Bowl would be exciting so
you'd be fun yeah I'm fine with that I think that Drew Brees is having one of
his best season so it'd be hard to take him out but yeah I mean you know it's
pretty much a 50 spot for each of these each of those things at this point so
and I mean at this point either way the super rule is likely to get like 70
combined points because all of the teams right now yeah they're gonna put up 40
points and nobody plays any defense so Super Bass board the Super Bowl Sunday
where its fourth quarter it's six nothing and we're just like what the
fuck we be watching for the last three
anyway so that was sports for Philly
all right our little thing aired there for a second I wasn't sure it's gonna
get back in time you think that's nice and long a nice
long transition so uh on the agenda yes the shutdown goes on and what I want to
talk about that but the president found his way a way to get back into the news
without even talking about the shutdown yes so uh Trump and Putin have met a
couple times since he's taken the oath of office I think four to be exact right
I believe that's right probably a couple before that too but you know we haven't
heard the testimony about those meetings yet and usually when you have a meeting
with a foreign leader they're 100 percent of the time not usually 100 or
so no I'm saying I'm saying usually when you meet with a foreign leader there's
multiple people in the room yes no 100 percent of the time I would never meet
probably with them no III heard a couple stories about like Obama would have
private conversations with certain world leaders that he had like more than one
now never one-on-one with like uh Angelica Angela Merkel Angela Merkel and
France McCrone right so they'd all get together and there's nobody else in the
room because both those guys speak English so you can speak but it would
never be one-on-one you wouldn't because you don't like the optics of you and the
German Chancellor meeting one-on-one and then having to go out to the group of
eight and be like oh what are you two fucking talking about yeah so you have a
third person in there and you're like no matter what if you know was it say to
you'll keep a secret if one was dead
yeah the rule is that you would always have four optics a key always have at
least one other person in the room and generally speaking you have way more
than that you have the staffs and the translators and even if the the German
Chancellor and the French president are in the room and they're speaking English
they would still have a translator there for that like yeah yeah okay
oh yeah no just to make sure I understood what that word was yeah hey
give it to me in my native tongue but that being said not just usually
sorry I got a job offer and I think I'm gonna take it hmm well not a job offer
it was a posting for a job okay so funny thing just as a sign real quick
because I brought it up there's a lot of people out there who I think realize
that there's not a lot of film production going on mm-hm and they're
trying to like undercut or like trying to not undercut but like a little bit
dry right now well we're putting together a little production maybe you'd
like to be involved it doesn't doesn't pay your full rate only $50 a day
Sheriff but would you rather be on set or what you rather make 50 bucks a day
and then you start sitting there going like no I'm not taking your $50 a day
like get out of here that's ridiculous and then like a week and a half passes
it's just like so $50 does that also include all the food we do I have to pay
my own gas gas out to Simi Valley all right yes I wonder I wonder how like you
know like a more famous actors who like just get in like the dry spell like
Lindsay Lohan oh like yes is like not working for like a year and I just
wonders I'm like somebody just like calls or everyone Savalas it's like they
were doing a student film this weekend you want to just get on set you know
what fuck it let's do it let's go man I can't just wait for this
offer to come anyway back to the topic so why is it important that that 100% of
the time the president is not alone with one world leader so that there can be
discussion about what happened in the room yes and so that you know agree
keeper keeper ducks in order so the the FBI doesn't open up an investigation how
you might be a intelligence agent so I mean basically what this boils down to
is that the four times that Trump met with Putin one of them had Tillerson in
the in the Asian but only Tillerson and a translator and then the other three
apparently only had translators and none of the notes
of that meeting had they were taken by noms rump according to New York Times
yes story that was tweeted over the weekend and he'd allow anyone else to
take notes nope that's a a he confiscating any notes that we're taking
I suppose yes yes so uh I don't know it just makes me be like if I had a drug
problem mhm and you you every single time I did
drugs in the apartment you like got in my case about it yeah give a smoking
crack on the couch or something like that chair and I was just like multiple
times a day after you started yelling at me about it I was just like I'm just
gonna go for a walk you're just like you're not going for a
walk to smoke crack are you no no no you know I just I just recently I decided
I'm gonna start taking more walks on the couch yeah you know it's just really
opened over my mind is he a possibility of walks mmm okay all right what's that
in your pocket what do you have there walking materials okay you know that's
the same sort of thing that's going on with Trump here it's the same there
seems to be a whole lot of noise about you and Putin and maybe him having some
sort of influence on you that's uh kind of crazy right yeah it's really crazy
crazy so you might we see the notes I don't know turn around boss I don't know
what to tell you sorry no notes thanks like wasn't there a translator there no
knew pretty sure nod now you know we have that we have the record showing
that did the translator was there I don't I don't recall that remember that
happening I think he was the wrong translator I mean honestly I'm you know
and I don't wanna I didn't want to get somebody in trouble yeah but somebody
sent somebody who speak Botswana also I didn't speak English only Botswana
yes very and then I spoke to him in Botswana for a few minutes because I
know Botswana I am one of the best Botswana seekers in the history of the
United States yes I'm not gonna do it now because I don't want to embarrass
everybody else with how fluent I evidence yes of course yeah but I
basically told him there's no need for you to take any notes because we are
gonna be speaking Russian another language I speak perfectly why would
they even need needed a translator I don't I don't
understand it I'm a man of great prodigiously they speak multiple
languages yeah yeah unfortunately not English I don't know anyone bother not
to teach you that one but you know every other language I speak incredibly well
and this news came at the same time that it was announced that the FBI had
actually opened up a counterintelligence investigation just to be fair the news
was new yes the new the news of that was new actually actual action of it
happened after Comey was fired yeah yeah and you know probably not surprising
because usually when you fire the FBI director it sends off some red flags of
the FBI see and I think that's the that's an easy way out it's an easy way
I have to say like oh well he fired the FBI director I think though that like
the way he fired him and like all the stuff hey what do you mean you're firing
our boss let's look into this it's like oh let's see Mike do you like something
a Russian agent would do that I think well I mean it's again it's not about
fire you could fire the FBI director all you want
usually what starts putting up red flags is when you start asking for loyalty and
hey why don't we why don't we let this Michael Flynn thing go and I think all
of that leading up to the firing was the cataclysmic event that that's the start
taking place but Jesus Christ I don't know what you guys want anymore like I
was talking about mom earlier and we're talking about like how sometimes just in
the nature of democracy some people somebody gets in charge and you know
even though 55 to 55 percent of the country might support something in 45
doesn't that 45 will win every once in a while can and as a president and then
Jeremy yeah all sorts of ways abortion and all these sort of things like they
start going a little bit more right than where the country as a whole might be
sure but these wall people I just don't know I don't know what I don't know what
like you're being outnumbered two to one in terms of like people who don't want
this stupid wall by logical people who understand that in
2018-2019 that a wall will do nothing like all the
people were like sharing videos of like Pelosi and Schumer like talking about
how we need more border security yeah which is just an easy way to appease
people essentially I mean like really cut politicians have been doing this for
you know 30 something odd years also really they just talk about like we need
to double the border security and then nobody knows what that number is
nobody knows what doubling it means and then when we double it nobody seems to
notice and you know here's the thing what the problem is I just feel like I
have to sit down with each of them and like discuss like all the moving parts
of their art like because they just don't understand like how wrong they are
I woke up early I had not early but mid-morning on Saturday and I was like
you know Adam up a little early let's just let's take a little cruise on over
to Facebook I'm not there a lot just let's just troll some people I'm just
gonna get into fights I'm gonna go down I know I'm gonna find it on my timeline
I was gonna spend my day fighting people in the comments and on the wall and what
I realize is that in more than two conversations I brought up the fact that
people who are coming across the border and drugs it always gets back to drugs
and arms and everything else coming across the border come across in trucks
that number one stupid people think that even the illegals are like backpacking
millions of pounds of drugs across the border yeah every year which you're
stupid they know how a human being can maybe carry thirty pounds by themselves
like how is there a sustained distance yeah for but through the desert in the
mountains to get into the country job interview where they asked if you
can lift 50 pounds like yeah this is the case of paper and for the most part
these people who are coming in are coming in with nothing the clothes on
their back and two jugs of water that's other
in the desert yeah so that was one thing when people are dumb and when I finally
got them to understand that like oh what the cars are what's bringing across then
I got this lovely number again on more than two occasions well once the wall is
built that won't be a problem because I'm not allowed to drive it's gonna go
all the way across the border with no poles in it and I'm like are you arguing
to me right now that we're going to stop transiting the border with Mexico just
no traffic allowed across the border yes they believe we're building the Great
Wall of America yeah no holes in it just solid stone for a thousand miles
okay okay so that's not that's not what this is it's just filling in the gaps
like building this big fence across the desert but when you get to you know
Mexicali or when you get to RS there will be a hole in the fence or people I
don't see much point in that thank you yes thank you welcome to the argument
yeah but then of course they're conceding of like I don't see much point
in that but we have to do something and at least he's keeping a campaign promise
and he's doing something but he's not but of course not did you see wolf
Blitzer's to tweet retweet yeah he retweeted himself like three times this
week saying okay look it look it up Wolf Blitzer suite where he asked the
president specifically during the campaign what will you do if you don't
get a check and what was what's he gonna do I can't I will get a check and if
they make me wait it just got 10 feet higher yeah and where are we now we're
paying for it okay and you we are one paying for it because tariffs are gonna
be how we pay for it mm-hmm and by the way Americans pay the
tariffs not the companies and to we and we don't get the money it's not like we
get a check from Mexico we are personally also 20-some days into a
government shutdown over Congress not Mexico funding the law yeah which is now
by the way as of Saturday the longest government shutdown in Amer
in history and no end in sight really it almost seems like it's not about the
wall hmm weird weird how that is government workers missed their first
paycheck there's an estimate that says that I think was 60% of the government
workers are two paychecks or less away from homelessness and not being able to
pay their bills yeah so that means we are two weeks less than two weeks away
from most government workers defaulting on their bills meaning being kicked out
of their apartments losing their livelihood I mean is everything right
yeah so another one that even if you're not a government employee and you're
just like well how does this affect me we talked about the the planes last year
there's no people inspecting the planes to make sure they're safe
there's also nobody inspecting the food yeah so about 80% of the food that is
going out has not been inspected by anybody at the FDA so if you are worried
about getting a coli or something like that good news it's if you have some
questions or if you wonder yourself hey what's the big deal I'd like you to read
the jungle by upton sinclair not a long book and just uh it'll give you an idea
of what people will do when they know nobody's watching yeah job and now we
know nobody's watching nobody's watching the airport's they're shutting down
terminals because TSA won't work they are the planes are basically unsafe
uh you know they're called recalling more people to work without pay to try
and fill in gaps yeah the airline industry is talking about
raising ticket prices so that they can privately pay some inspectors just to
make sure the planes are safe which boggles my mind
yeah and foods not getting inspected by the UH all y'all who think you're gonna
get your out your taxes back nope now you can't file taxes of your tax
return while um well the government shutdown you can file you just can't get
your return standing back you can send it to them
but they're not gonna say by the way if this thing goes and tell you probably
you still gotta pay your taxes yeah yeah but you ain't gonna get it back and step
aside open this thing though yep it just nothing is better everything's
worse and we're doing it over a wall so and I know that there was a story this
week that said that finally it looks like Mitch McConnell realizes that he's
getting some blame for this and much as we predicted weeks ago now they're
talking about Oh we'll listen that hundred-to-one bill that we passed maybe
the house will vote on that one as well and we'll send that to the president and
make him veto it so that we can actually vote on it again
yeah so you're gonna override it override it and reopen the government
but that'll require the votes of people like like Steve King well in the house
yes yeah yeah who I don't know I think fell like he would back the president
because he backs the president on everything you know like his belief that
there are good people on both sides and white nationalists aren't so horrible
yeah what's the problem with white nationalists anyway me me opening can we
openly we pull that before that little could hurt somebody did it's like you
hear from people that saying like oh wait so I can I have taking that black
pry but I can't have white pride yep yep you can't that's how that works because
we we meaning white people I suppose in general my ancestors although to a
lesser degree took people from Africa and brought them here mmm and thus they
have no culture that well they have no connection to their ancestors culture so
right they create culture here that's what like how it means culture power of
the Bloods layer you know like I'm Irish right because I happen to know that my
family comes from Ireland yes but if you were descendant of somebody who has just
brought over here from Africa you have no idea yeah you have no idea where
where upon Africa you are don't know if you know big continent although
depending on who you ask yeah but that's the thing is it rather
than saying white pride if you said something like Irish pride yeah
there's a bring out of being Irish there are parades about it yeah and we can
celebrate it we celebrate culture and that's what it's about
well yeah black power black pride is about the culture Irish pride is about
the culture English pride is about oh now really even think that's a thing
yeah they don't really care that much um no but uh like Scotland you wear the
kilts and we do Germany but okay that's frowned upon a little bit but um do we
have pride in our some German culture is okay oh they the lederhosen
yeah 1804 that's really what we focus on but that's the point is that it's it's
about culture and you can't say white coz whites not a culture that's that's
the whole point so yes it's different Steve King and yes
you're a racist and of my argument of course is that nothing's gonna change
but by the way if this is your first first introduction to Steve King is
racist for some welcome welcome it's been going on for quite some time in
Congress about that long yep I don't know six years or something like that I
feel like I heard that recently it was all right now I feel like he's a he was
in there during bush so I'll double-check
maybe now or maybe he replaced a guy who is just like him from bush
oh maybe could be that it's like this is a harder our district a hard our
district in more ways than one I'm pretty sure well I mean I know it I'm
pretty sure it's just the entire state of Iowa no Chuck Grassley that's either
Congress or a senator ah okay yeah senator Grassley yeah it's true um so
yeah uh a fourth district so I guess there's four yeah this one I thought it
was three and one one democratic district and Iowa but nonetheless see
here he's been a racist for a very long time yeah Congress for a shorter time
than that I would assume but uh he's a it's not the first objective they may he
said not the first time they've talked about censuring him but the first time
that they're actually getting to it right now so yeah so has served since
2003 yes yeah he was originally part of Iowa's
fifth congressional district but everything yeah and 2013 they got they
bumped the number down to four and now he's the fourth so good news for the
country looks like some states like Iowa are getting less congressional districts
good news not nearly fast still do senators but you know yeah that's how it
works but um so I guess we'll see uh I still don't think that they're gonna do
anything he'll come up for he lost his committee ships but you can't just be in
Congress you had to be on a committee unless you get censured so once you get
sent to some committee that doesn't have a lot of like and that's the thing like
uh I would really love to see King on the green initiative get a green new
deal yeah it's like Ryan Dorsey where the guy answered that like a mad lib
that would make Ryan Doris his head explode I feel like Steve King on the
green initiative committee he just like what are you talking about we can't use
wind farms that'll slow the way down
slow the window oh god I know I hate stupid people what if we capture all the
sunlight and then it's not sunny anymore I'm right like this is something we need
to worry about why don't we just pull her put all our solar farm frozen Iowa
anyone disapprove I just approve in Italy so the entire state of Iowa is now
a solar panel and they were done Alexander Yoko's Leo Cortes agrees which
by the way um I don't know what's going on with her I feel like she is realizing
her her microphone and it was cute at the beginning but now I'm questioning
yeah I'm still I'm still enchanted I'm still waiting for i I think I listen I
for all the years that we've been doing this podcast I think you could say I've
I've I've leaned a little bit more left over the years
yes left a little bit more yeah well I mean you've gone you're not quite gone
from National Socialists to socialism but you know there's something in the
middle there is somewhere in between those two you know III think she's she's
still trying to figure it out so we'll see um wine one thing she's hopefully
not thinking about and not trying to figure out is a campaign for president
in 2020 a lot of people however are we can't
decide well I didn't stop Ted Cruz so by the way better or worse with the beard
did you the beard I've seen the beard yeah he looks like the the post-divorce
dad yes yeah also I'm gonna try something new here to see if people like
it makes me slightly less likely to punch him in the face
but I actually start listening to what he says like I sit there you just don't
hear him and I'm like I just want to punch you in the face I think that last
but now I'm listening to you know what you know what I think might totally
change Ted Cruz if we gave him some like dark black glasses okay at the beard
because then he could like sit there and do this thing all the time and then
people would start thinking he's more like it so I'm an intellectual yeah yeah
yeah it would be a word it would be a weird place to go at Ted Cruz like maybe
a pipe I can see a pipe but don't smoke anything illegal because Texas is not
friendly to marijuana he did so well I think we talked about three weeks ago
that oh you know Obama started in the fall of 2006 yeah
so it seemed like we were a little behind and quickly we are catching up
now this is the season for it yeah we joked that martin O'Malley officially
not running for president thank God it looks like Eric Garcetti may be but he
hasn't announced anything yet I'm still seeing a lot of ads from the super PAC
though yeah yeah so it's like and of course those have nothing to do with
Eric they're all his super PAC which has nothing to do with him yeah so certainly
not a secret twitter account with only two followers one of them who happens to
be the head of the super PAC yeah so there's no way to get a message out
there if need be certainly not um what uh what's her name
Elizabeth Warren has announced an exploratory committee to run for
president I think who's the other one Gilda Grimm
no well Castro is the only other one who's officially announced Gilda brand
senator from New York has said that she's considering forming an exploratory
committee no I suppose that's testing the water somewhat who's the other one
from Hawaii Oh God is she running yeah she said she's she's
considering forming an exploratory committee as well don't do it so again
again remember her name but she there's there's a male version of this and
there's a female version of this the male version of this has often been only
not Hawaii hmm the male version of this often goes with the sort of mansplaining
ideal of men Gabbard Gabbard Gabbard yeah a toasty Gabbard or is that who it
is damn it where's she from I can't remember hang on and I don't know you
immediately I mean like I'm pretty I'm pretty dialed in oh my god so here's a
good website that has is kind of keeping ties apparently there is a bob Corker
for president I've heard I've heard say of this yeah he's a Republican Larry
Hogan Wiggins not gonna run against Trump no I mean he might be the one cuz
he can run and lose and keep his governorship
yeah but he's going to run and lose which is gonna be a pro like there's no
the time for the time for Hogan wouldn't it would be four years from now yeah I
would say I would agree with like the the 2024 election assuming that a
Democrat wins in 2020 would would be his best course of action I think so here we
go here it is he could be the sensible middle yeah of the Republican Party
going forward once Trump's out yeah I mean assuming that 2020 plays out the
same way the 2018 did then you're looking at a complete
slaughter there yeah in a lot more places where they can get slaughtered
you might you you very well could see all three branches of government going
Democratic in that one swing and then at that point the Republicans have to
seriously sit down and like look at what what they've done and say like right so
he needs somebody who who can find the middle here and that might be a good
time for a Hogan to come out where he's like listen democratic state moderate
moderate yeah Republican like I believe in all the things that most people
believe in regardless of political leanings the business so let's uh let's
get this and going shall we we're ready for business Marilyn oh if
you've had so apparently uh going back Joe Biden said that he was gonna make
his decision over Christmas we have not heard anything which makes me think
maybe a no from Joe I guess we'll see on this list of I'm gonna go through who
day suspect but I'm not gonna read all of it I like I like did you hear Joe's
thing about uh Millennials oh yeah I know that might have undone him yeah Joe
Joe Biden if you didn't hear is uh then he was being interviewed by the LA Times
I think and they said uh so what do you what do you think about the strife of
Millennials and then he's arted it as like oh those little complainers like
yeah we've all gone through problems that figured out a way through it it's
not nearly as bad for them as it has been for us and buh-buh-buh-buh-buh
meanwhile he bought a house for six thousand dollars Joe Biden's first cost
now of course he made money in the median cost of a house in LA right now
is six hundred thousand dollars yep as an aside thanks Joe okay so Joe's up for
up top of the list and I think that he's probably the front-runner for all
intents and purposes yeah he's the clinton going in yeah
michael bloomberg although he's not really a democrat run yes please don't
learn Mike Cory Booker although I think he knows that 2020 is not his race he
should probably wait till 2024 but who's to say my favorite South Bend's mayor
Pete who hasn't your story about mmm-hmm next week we're gonna do the the who we
want right you sure we should look we can look through that Julian Castro has
actually announced yep for mayor of San Antonio and use a US
housing secretary yeah under Obama Clinton's on this list also Hillary yes
don't run don't you Tulsi Gabbard please don't put us through that again Tulsi
Gabbard congresswoman from Hawaii not a senator for more yeah congressman from
Hawaii mayor Garcetti let me is there a picture there of her yes I think I'm
thinking about the senator from Hawaii who's like a real nutcase
IRA no yes yeah yes she is a Asian Pacific Islander would be she was the
first Asian Pacific salmon Congress and Senate and like she would be the first
she's she's got the the woman version of mansplaining going on there we're like
any time I see her on CNN it's just like you know well the the Trump
administration has said this what he what do you say to those claims it's
just like what you don't know about this situation is like every sense it starts
with like you don't know this but I do yeah yeah maybe we do know all right
shut up yeah quickly Phyllis Gillibrand like we said apparently Andrew Gilliam
gave a a non-responsive answer to the question on an interview this week so
people are saying he might be an to remind you he is the former Tallahassee
mayor who nearly defeated to say at the DeSantis in Florida Kamala Harris has
apparently has feet on the ground in Iowa although she's not saying whether
she will she won't but she has people on the ground in Iowa Eric Holder has been
raising money don't do it for a PAC but apparently it's not for him it's for a
PAC Mitch Landrieu in Louisiana I actually follow a couple of reporters
from Louisiana and they're saying that that's the rumor is that he's gonna run
a toe of course don't run bait oh I think bado can't
can't help but not right I mean like ma'am
Oh Andrew yang I don't know if you've heard this he's actually in the race and
he calls himself a Democrat but he's really a Bernie Kratt
he's a entrepreneur he's not a politician
so he's in his democratic Warren Ernie Starbucks CEO and Disney CEO adults and
Eiger yeah are both talked about so that's where we are literally a few
weeks ago Tom Steyer is not gonna run what's that Tom Steyer is not gonna run
why is that well he'd be announce he wasn't gonna run III think that that's
the only guy who's doing the impeach the president yes he said he's not doing it
so see it's a long time it's a long time away so anyway so again in two months we
went from like nobody to a full field and here's what I'll tell you about the
the non answer like Andrew Gilliam is not answer is what do you think you
think I should run do should I read yeah so I guess we'll see
meanwhile back to real issues local issues let's just kind of like lightning
round this little issue la biggest at you're happening in the city right now
LAUSD is on strike that's right for those of you who are not hyper local
that's the LA United School District Los beautifies Unified School District LA
Unified School District is the teachers on strike second largest teachers union
in the country basically in the crappiest day in LA in the last few
weeks thousands of teachers turned up downtown to protest I didn't go to class
fighting I heard a rumor I don't know if this is true yeah
but uh apparently there's more teachers and the city of Los Angeles and there
are in the state of Maryland I would imagine that is true I mean it it's like
a twelve million person yeah school districts I mean LA Unified is is a huge
school district so yeah yeah I can imagine that yeah so so yeah so they're
on strike and of course I just so it's clear fully support strikers however I
have also read and understand that this is maybe an unnecessary strike that this
was a let's send a message by striking and that maybe they are not they're
asking for things that they know they can't get or that they that the LAUSD
simply cannot a to do mm-hmm and I think that my
position always been pro-worker and back the workers but at some rate
you the workers also have to say what is it that we can actually expect well you
have to know like what the I mean you know if you have you said to your boss
like I need to talk to you and then you go into the office and say listen I've
been working really hard I think I deserve a five dollar an hour raise sure
and then they said wow that's a little bit excessive and then you went strike
like yeah you got to know your time why and I'm not saying that the teachers
aren't haven't we been waiting patiently for their opportunity to get get some do
yeah but uh there seems to be a lot of conversation that I'm hearing whereas
this probably could have been handled a little bit better from the leadership
right perspective yes but the leaders yeah trying to play
this card a little hard they wanted to send the message we can strike so we are
going to strike but my I guess my point was if you if it's 1972 and your GM auto
workers and you're striking because you're asking for $2 more an hour and GM
is the largest company in the world making record profits maybe two hours an
hour for all your workers is not too much to ask right if your GM auto worker
in 2006 and you're asking for $2 an hour and GM is in bankruptcy and being bailed
out by the US government maybe not the time maybe not the time to
ask for that maybe it's like hey what can we do to make the company better so
that we can save the jobs of the people in our Union instead of having those
jobs go to Canada or Mexico so it's about timing it's about knowing what the
right thing to ask for is I I will say my mom was the teacher for 30 years she
still works for the school board my mom was a teacher as well yeah so I have a
lot of appreciation for the under the underappreciated teachers and the work
that they do I also have a an understanding that they are underpaid
they're underappreciated there's not enough of them especially LAUSD has a
huge problem with / like packed school rooms and not
enough resources and I think that a lot of what they're asking for is reasonable
because a lot of what they're asking for is about the kids and not about a lot of
the things that they're asking for or you know like so I was hearing teacher
interviews on a podcast this morning and you know it's a lot of we California
passed this thing where all the schools are supposed to have Wi-Fi yeah and our
Wi-Fi has never worked so they're paying for Wi-Fi they're paying for the
internet service and yet our school doesn't have working Wi-Fi yeah so you
know it's great that you did this thing where the schools are supposed to have
it but we technically don't right and you're paying for it and you're paying
for it so maybe fix that like or me or like all these like other like you know
there's things like about like there's 50 kids in the class so there's not
enough seats and some kids have to sit on the floor and stuff like that so it's
like it's it's a little I mean the problem with the with education
much like the problem with health insurance is that there's so many like
it's hard to fix the problems that are visible to us right now
because there's a lot of underlying problems that would need to be fixed
first yeah so like before you I would argue that before you want to fix health
care like you know like figure out your medicare-for-all plan or something like
that you probably want to get into why does it why do they charge you $15 for
one band-aid when you go to the emergency room another committee that
Steve King I would love to see him on
I'd like to propose a 70 percent tax on the 10 for 10 million or more percent
sorry leave me with only three million dollars
that's not what it means Steve you go in at fire moves yes you crazy little
socialist but it's just an odd couple style reality show of a cosmic Cortes
and Steve King in an apartment but you
left your white sheets out here hanging on the couch wait a minute these are
sheets he's a racist all right that's clear but yes I get
your meaning dad yeah there should be a good plan and we should all have I mean
like I I'm listen I if you're asking me for for Cory's plan on how to how to fix
the public education process which by the way I'm not the person you want to
listen to on this I don't know why you asked me now but uh I I would I would
essentially say let's do our best to eliminate the teachers who shouldn't be
teachers because there's a lot of people who are dramatically under qualified for
the jobs that they have and maybe to start luring better talents
start paying them better yeah I know that's a pretty out-there
proposition I mean like I think the best I think time has proven over and over
again that if you say that you're going to raise the standards of what you are
expected to get paid as a teacher young the best people who compete for the best
jobs I mean I think there's also people who are willing to take less money than
they can make in the private sector yeah because they would love to teach right
but they also have to stay alive yeah some places pay teachers not enough to
live in the place where they are teaching well you know what la is a
perfect example where you go it's really hard to live on a teacher's salary here
you're living at three hours two and a half hours away from the school it's a
it's a similar problem that that New York experiences to because you know if
you teach in a Manhattan school you don't you live in Jersey yeah like here
you're taking a train into Manhattan every single day and you know it it's
really I I'm thankful for all the teachers that I ever had in my life
Wow ninety-five percent of the teachers
you four people know who you are but I just I feel like if if more of the money
more of the wasteful spending that happened in the school district was just
having to overpay people rather than like paying for Wi-Fi yeah like that
would be the the yeah the number they use is the perp
pupil expense yeah but if you actually bring it down to like what do we spend
on the pupil versus what do we spend on this ridiculous ship for the school your
pupil Falls dramatically it's like oh well we haven't updated books in uh
seven years but everybody's got Wi-Fi and we have all of these brand new
computers in the administration I'm like yeah you count that as your per pupil
but no pupils benefit from that yeah so I don't really see how it works well the
other thing I was I was talking to a teacher friend of mine in Maryland and
they all have tablets yeah so their school every single student was issued a
tablet but it's not like a you know an iPad or some like it's like some cheapo
crappy tablet mhm but that's the only thing the kids are allowed to have in
class yeah is that is the school issue tablet but they also don't like let them
do it like put a case on it or anything like that so almost all the students
tablets have been broken since the first week of school of course and you can't
get a new one and drop them right and they leave them places and they're never
charged and they're supposed to last all day but they don't have the battery for
that and it's it's just uh it's a lot of a lot of trouble for so like it seems
like a wonderful idea like we're gonna give every single student at lab a
tablet but at the same time it doesn't work it's not work you know how you give
a kid a textbook that it never runs out of battery and they you don't have to
worry about them breaking in and that they can carry around all the time
mm-hmm give him an actual textbook yeah it worked really well for us for a long
time anyway uh how about we take a 3,000 mile skip
and a hop and a jump right on down to the Baltimore corner mm-hmm
where you get the straight dope yes so quickly news from Baltimore as we talked
about last week the commissioner candidate Fitzgerald had dropped out
mm-hm and we were promised by the mayor a full investigation they are going to
put the new a new slew of candidates to their paces and you're going to involve
the community and they're gonna involve the City Council and after a lot of
deliberation they're gonna produce a new candidate and that took them exactly
three days and now we have a new candidate for Baltimore City police
commissioner yes well no one's they pulling up his
name yeah because I actually didn't remember what his name was it all
happened so fast I was prepared for so to keep in mind one of the things we
talked about last week was that the City Council held a meeting Michael Harrison
Michael Harris yeah former top cop in New Orleans who was
everything I've been hearing about is he's like it's like having LeBron James
say that he's gonna pick your team yeah except for it really makes me wonder why
uh if if there was a potential to possibly get the LeBron James of Law
Enforcement why we spent all this time with the Vince Carter of Carter circa
2019 Vince Carter law enforcement although he's a rock star he is also a
broken windows policing know is the guy so he's a rock star of the community yes
by the way did you hear about Carlos avaible no oh the guy who got shot
yes shoveling snow we've had people shoveling snow shot by giving money to a
no stabbed in the neck yeah by giving money to a homeless person yeah yeah so
guy just by the guy just shoveling snow four o'clock in the morning trying to
make sure that his wife can get to work and not have to slip on the pavement and
someone just walks up and shoots him three times in the head in the most
Baltimore story ever yeah things that I have no comprehension on how to even
deal with for no reason appearing apparently no reason just shot him so
but I'm sure the new guy who focuses on broken windows policing will certainly
fix the murder rate that the last four guys who focused on broken windows
policing couldn't fix but again now we were talking about how they had a public
comment period and the number one thing that overarching message was one we
don't want this guy because we didn't participate in choosing him and two we
would really like to participate in choosing someone and we would really go
along with you you don't have to choose a guy we choose we just want to be part
of the process and you feel like we're heard we'll go along with you and peu
much to her typical you know mo ignored that completely
picked a guy from the previous process and the most ironic thing is a city
attorney who was negotiating his contract was sitting in on his meetings
with the public and being like yes no we are looking forward to this ongoing
process and working with you knowing that he was leaving there and going in
negotiating the contract with this guy I just it again you I say the most
Baltimore story is a guy who gets shot shoveling snow but also this is also the
most Baltimore story that you can have just lets the government just
out-and-out relying to the citizens doing what they want to do and this
being like mmm what are you gonna do stop us I mean I really think that that
pew doesn't want doesn't want anybody else to be making these decisions for
her so she decided to throw out another name before a process could get started
yeah which usually when somebody when I ask somebody do a favor for me I'm just
like hey Rob can you go get me a coke and then instead he comes back a couple
seconds later I got my hand up waiting for my coke to fall in my hand yeah and
then instead it's a hand grenade with the pin pulled yeah just like Jesus
Christ Rob you really fucked this situation up
I don't usually want you to I don't want you to do any more tasks until I can
make sure that I'm supervising yes yeah thanks so Catherine Pugh has been
handing out a lot of hand grenades here and she doesn't want to be she doesn't
want somebody watching her so she just decided she's so desperate and like not
get like caught on her bullshit but she's just going full steam ahead she
just like she wants a win right she's yeah I one of these has to work one of
these things has to work out and then they love me again by the way not not
quite quite to the same illegal nature and stuff like that but Trump is to the
Republicans as pew is to the Democrats like she is the dumb how did this person
get elected version of the Democratic base it's shockingly bad and the fact
that we've had so many leak is just me like I feel like I know like
I've talked to people who are smart about politics and yeah really are in on
it in Maryland yeah and just none of these people want
to run like is that the nobody it's a game a hot potato
that city is going to burn itself down and nobody wants to be the one holding
it when it happens oh yeah well I mean that's that's what we said with the SRB
and yeah I'm at somewhere is a game of Russian Roulette and stuff like I think
in the end that's really what it comes down to is that there are a lot of
people who may step up and take the job goes over the edge after a poke Pompey
burns yeah would they want to be the savior they don't want remember one and
watch as it burned down so I mean maybe that's part of it or maybe it's just the
voters in Baltimore can't help themselves and it was her turn right
that was what we were saying during the election it was her turn she bided her
time and she deserved it so now this is what you get welcome know what a
Republican to run I want to really get her a probably gonna run not for not for
the sake of like making like Baltimore fall to all these Republican policies or
something like that I just want somebody who can call somebody on some shit Hogan
doesn't run for president yeah he's like cuz he would get attention yeah I mean
you know you wouldn't be able to just steamroll right through the Democratic
nomination you know hypothetically I mean I know you were so it would be a
full fight though it would be a primary process and then because nobody's
running against Hogan Republicans so then he gets to save all his war chest
and you got to go through the primary and then go up against Ryan who has been
a vocal critic of Baltimore City and basically says hey I'm taking a lesser
job speaking of Hogan and Baltimore City and
stuff like that I haven't had time to get into the whole thing and I wanted to
have all the details before I started talking about it publicly but Hogan has
announced a humungous crime initiative that involves like all the different
agencies of the state yeah basically coming together to crack down on crime I
think with sort of like an a/b kind of goal of a
cleaning up the city and be getting the opioid crisis under control and stuff
like that there's a lot of questionable things about like what exactly is
happening with not all the news out yet so we will get into ya don't know why me
I think he like Trump as much as he would hate that comparison made this
broad sweeping announcement and it's like any detail details a criminal ater
don't worry about that we'll get you the details it was like the Oscar rose
popular category yeah like it's like hey by the way we're doing this and I my
initial reaction was this is Giuliani in the 90s and there's no way that this
will not result in more people getting locked up who shouldn't be locked up and
having the state murder more citizens in the effort of trying to stop drugs or
stop the Obey yeah yeah I look forward to that but let's just we'll do a little
more once the details come out I think we can talk about it more fully it just
it's one of those like great it sounds great
yes we're gonna we're gonna have 50 million dollars and we're gonna send
police in we're gonna have 90 state agencies in there it's like okay great
what are they gonna do when they get there what's the plan yeah we'll figure
that so I guess we'll see I mean I guess there is part of part of the logic that
to tie it into a Trump thing like where he said like I'm not gonna tell you what
I'm gonna say when I'm gonna negotiate because then how will they know yeah
saying all that all these times where they announce like we're gonna be doing
bombings tomorrow it's like well now they know
mm-hmm this is like I'll just do the bombings and I won't tell anybody
beforehand if they'll tell I'll say later yeah like there there seems to be
sort of a aspect of Hogans it's like I'm doing something with crime but don't
worry about it I'll tell you when I'm done
yeah yeah I'd like to know a little bit of the details but I mean I get that you
can't tell me like all right on Thursday we're gonna go get Big Bob Johnson who
is noted put a drug dealer Big Bob Johnson but maybe just uh the outline of
a plan just give me the gist broad yeah yeah what happens if it goes wrong
that's mostly what I want to what I want to know what what what is a what is the
unsuccessful operation look like oh I can tell you what it successful

some article that i read that said when people ask you when
when dealing with the LA homeless when they say can you spare any change and
you don't want to give them money saying not today as opposed to I'm sorry
because people don't like to hear I'm sorry yeah they'd rather hear some other
version of like next time I see if I can't I can't do it right now yeah
so I actually tried it I said not today to a homeless person when I when they
asked me for money and then like literally as I'm walking away I heard
him just go like not today what do I do you expect me to run into
you tomorrow well sorry about say man should have just said sorry and just
moved on that'll teach you I I also got a really bad I didn't give
money to the homeless all the time before but you know every once in a
while like if I had some cash on me I would I would I would try and help out
if I thought the situation was deserving enough mm-hmm but I just never have cash
on me so I can I just never have anything I can just wait okay the
homeless dudes gonna step up on you at a square like I brought right here just
