Thank you. Yes, please. Safe driving practices. Nader gang out there.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Defensive driving. Get those seatbelts on. Miles, cancel Fox's trending, and I have no idea why. Yeah. Is it just Fox? I think it's just snowflakes getting just... No, it's because there's a few things. I mean, Sean Hannity's like out here
Starting point is 00:03:06 being like we need to thank donald trump so then that's about people talking about fox but then there's also this push called hashtag unfox my cable box um because they're talking about how you know the way that um fox news charges cable providers like to to carry the channel on the network like we're all subsidizing having it on there. So their whole thing is saying a typical household pays Fox News almost $2 per month, about $20 per year via their cable or satellite provider, regardless of whether they actually watch the channel. And so in 2021, there is a wave of big contracts.
Starting point is 00:03:42 I'm just reading straight from their site. Between Fox News and TV providers for subscriber fees that are set to expire. These contracts, mind you, make up about 65 percent of like Fox News subscriber fee revenue. Right. So this is the time. And it's coming up, right? Yeah. They're renewing soon, so
Starting point is 00:04:05 we gotta let them know. I mean, we'll see. I mean, honestly, yeah, fuck it. It's not like we live in a country where canceling your subscription in anger isn't that hard of a thing to do, because they'll literally take you back in 15 minutes. Right. So don't think
Starting point is 00:04:21 it's gotta be permanent. We can fucking go on YouTube for a little bit. But yeah, absolutely. I mean, I think it's it's got to be permanent you know like we can fucking go on youtube for a little bit but yeah absolutely i mean i think uh it's it's just it's just terrible misinformation of uh of a more severe degree versus what you might see on other news channels which are more just trying to obscure your sense of revolutionary thinking yeah because someone was uh saying that like i think i think it was the person who does uh sleeping giant was saying that, like, I think it was the person who does Sleeping Giant was saying, like, no matter how successful we are with this, like, you know, targeting the advertisers is Tucker Carlson's show. Fox is going to be fine unless we can get cable companies to get them out of here. That's where they make their little nut is from these subscriber fees and not because of Mike Lindell's
Starting point is 00:05:08 Mike Rillo's guy. Well, speaking of little nut, how about that guy who used to be the president of Donald Trump? He has a little nut, huh? He is... What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:05:23 He's beginning to take over as a sort of a god figure now. He has done the ultimate failing up. He has failed to nail any of the Q prophecies that people were expecting of him to become president again, of him to arrest Hillary, of him to arrest Mueller, of him to just come out from under the podium while Biden was being inaugurated with machine guns and no shirt on, just ripped, kicking ass. So none of those things happened. So now they're like he's actually gonna be a
Starting point is 00:06:05 heaven heaven president that's this that's what this q anon schemer shit leads you to like because you have to be right at some point right so if if you keep dealing in the physical world where things are measurable and verifiable that's not a good place so yes this one guy who's like a pretty big uh preacher and q anon prophet because we talked about the fucking fusion that is happening between q anon and evangelical christianity and just christianity um that yeah this this particular piece of shit guy prophet is saying oh yeah yes he's hard to know that because you know he's he's actually president uh of the in the kingdom of christ i'll play a little bit of this just so you can kind of understand how serious he sounds and his convictions. President Trump is the president that has been
Starting point is 00:06:57 ordained, nominated by the Lord, prophesied all the way from King Clement's days, and over a thousand prophets still hang on to around the world, prophetic voices, whether known or not known, that he's in. And then the voting, anybody who's seen the actual information, why it's hidden, why you can't see the normal public, cannot see the information, why you cannot be exposed to the... See, the live stream was just so trash from the content to even the streaming capabilities of the parties in quality but yeah he goes on to just sort of like twist this narrative
Starting point is 00:07:31 like president trump is a president that has been ordained by the lord 70 of the votes he won on earth as it is in heaven uh and he's like it looked like the prophet samuel was wrong david was only accepted as king by Judah. Guess who's the only one in the body of Christ accepting President Trump is king right now? The tribe of Judah. Wow. So if you can go in the spirit, so whatever. He's just saying, you can go.
Starting point is 00:08:00 He literally said, if you can see what's in heaven, who's sitting in the throne. And this is not hyperbole. This is me quoting this person. Who's sitting in the throne. Go up and look at the presidency seat in heaven, see who's there it ain't Biden, it's Trump because yeah, that is a thing that we all know exists
Starting point is 00:08:14 let me call my travel agent really quick seat in heaven can I get two tours for heaven? yeah, I want to see the presidency okay, thank you okay, so we'll check it out, we'll report back for heaven yeah i want to see the presidency okay thank you next week yeah next week's my thing okay so all right we'll check it out we'll report back um thank you for including me was that was that me or her majesty who was uh no that was my travel agent but but you ordered two tickets i was
Starting point is 00:08:37 i was wondering who's getting the second ticket i'm well i don't want to say it we'll see how you and her majesty perform in my feats of faith um couldn't you just come out and be like i was in the kingdom of heaven and it was joe biden like what like i want to see that battle go down i like the i like to the claim that he has been uh ordained the president in prophecies both known and unknown oh okay bet okay you got the you got the unknown ones uh that you can point to as evidence uh it's just that people don't know it oh the thing is people don't know how wealthy i am uh not just in american dollars but in unknown currencies of no earthly value uh currencies of the heart um all right well you know that people have been comparing q to religions for a long time
Starting point is 00:09:29 saying that it is our fastest growing religion that it's spreading quickly uh i've seen counter counterpoints where people are like but people don't really believe in it they just you know they like to think about it as like a fun theory um that may be true but that you could say the same thing about a lot of religion right like people don't really think that like every word of the bible is true but they let it guide their thinking uh and morality so right which is more just like if i'm nice then my hell my hell of a physical existence may be nice when my body finally expires up there in the kingdom of heaven. Up there in the kingdom of heaven. Shit's unfair because these pedophile billionaires are eating kids.
Starting point is 00:10:18 And like, I mean, yeah, shit is hard, but please don't go for that explanation. Anyone who calls me racist is a pedophile is basically the bottom line. Thank you, QAnon. The golden rule. Anyone who calls me is a pedophile. The golden rule. Anyone who calls me racist, you're a pedophile. All right.
Starting point is 00:10:42 New Cuomo. New Cuomo shit dropping uh the new york mag it all sorts of uh respected journalistic outlets are coming through with just the wild details of just what a um awful place uh his office his governor's office was to work um bullying just across the board uh lots of uh women who were you know he'd be like get me a girlfriend uh at one point he met a girl for two minutes and like you know gave her the the up and down type treatment that's not a thing that you can give evidence for, but she was like, when he called
Starting point is 00:11:30 me and asked me to interview for his office the next day, I knew exactly why. It's not like we had a conversation about my professional acumen. He gave me a corporal scan. Yes. And then would talk shit about her appearance like
Starting point is 00:11:49 when she would show up uh like he would be like all right everybody has to come in at five in the morning and then she'd show up like not dressed as like to his exact specifications and he'd be like would you forget to get ready today um so all around a real jerk if you ask me why don't you fucking resign um yeah i mean i mean like an ad on top of that this nursing home controversy like yeah you fully demonstrated you ain't shit now now will fredo be able to put you down and he put you down the reverse yeah fredo putting michael down yeah oh the um yeah this this new york mag article actually does some like connecting of uh you know this sort of behavior to the policy uh you know bullying interpersonal style uh is the same sort of behavior to the policy, bullying, interpersonal style is the same sort of overarching, pervasive philosophy that led to him scrubbing nursing home deaths, just like trying to make reality cohere to whatever's in your best interest. Hey, when you're never wrong, man, fuck reality when you're never wrong.
Starting point is 00:13:06 hey when you're never wrong man fuck fuck reality when you're never wrong and the people who worked for him who were like he's such a bully but it's also like he he didn't have any like ideals behind it it was always just like status quo bullshit with like an emphasis on the appearance of progress he would like decide to go to a county and then pressure his staff to come up with something he could announce there like without you know it was all just empty calorie politics bullshit um yeah
Starting point is 00:13:35 so uh yeah like uh most politicians aren't fucking fit to do the thing they should be doing. Right. Because again, it's just fucking Hollywood for untalented people.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Yep. Jawan Howard is trending because in a game with Maryland, he was about to beat the other coach's ass. Wait, really?
Starting point is 00:14:05 Yeah. I just saw that he got ejected, but I didn't know he was. He got ejected because the other coach and him had some words. There are various rumors going around that I can almost guarantee are untrue. They're fully slash fiction style rumors. they're fully, um, you know, slash fiction style rumors because like people on one, uh, blog were like, uh, I heard the Maryland coach said, yeah, go ahead and put up your, uh, put up another title. Your titles don't stay in the rafters anyway. Uh, which is like, that's not only would no one ever say that, uh, that's like poorly written.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Like nobody talks like that. Um, but I, I think basically what happened was Juwan Howard was out of the coaching box. The Maryland coach, uh, Oh,
Starting point is 00:14:55 sorry. The clip launched. Good. Sorry. The Maryland coach, uh, complained to the refs that he was out and then they just had a war of words. At which point the Maryland coach complained to the refs that he was out, and then they just had a war of words. The Maryland coach was the first one to become physically aggressive. He started walking at Juwan Howard really angrily, and then Juwan Howard had to be held back. um i don't know somebody was like if i was a you know mcdonald's all-american recruit and i saw that i'd be like fuck yeah i want to play for that guy that guy's awesome the guy who like
Starting point is 00:15:33 i want i want to hold my coach back from a physical beating the other coach up uh also somebody else on twitter twitter was like what did the Maryland coach think was going to happen if Juwan Howard got to him? Juwan Howard is seven feet tall and would beat the shit out of any other basketball coach. But I could see, yeah, you would. A Fab Four or Fab Five comment would begin the thing that activates beast mode.
Starting point is 00:16:03 But also, I don't know but maybe you know who knows because he's coaching michigan she went down to michigan maybe the coach really did some reading on his psychological warfare yeah but coaches are just like so tightly wound that yeah it doesn't it doesn't need to be a well thought out like dagger to get it like shut the fuck up like i think that's i literally think the coach said hey he's out of the box and juwan harris said i'll fucking kill you and then the guy said don't talk to me don't talk to me that's the most uh yeah yeah fuck you fuck you fuck you no fuck you fuck me fuck hold me back no hold me back before i charge him those those uh those moments when the
Starting point is 00:16:43 baseball manager is out there saying like a thousand words a minute to the umpire it's not it's not shakespeare yeah it's it's just the same five swear words over and over again i'm guessing funny my favorite bloopers we're seeing like the mic'd up uh umpire verse you know uh yeah manager um whatever are you fucking kidding me are you kidding me and then you start kicking the dirt up yeah what is this what are you five is this white hip-hop how you battle and shit i still respect to whoever started making baseball managers wear the uniforms that is still the funniest thing yeah when you come in tommy lasorda didn't have to wear out dress up like that his age is so funny
Starting point is 00:17:31 joe tory everybody yeah who was the little guy on the yankees who got who got gently caressed to the ground um oh yeah the guy he was like a big big old guy who was like in his 70s or something yeah came charging it didn't he come charging at pedro yeah yeah don zimmer don zimmer came charging at pedro and he just just he like the way he was like oh he's like yeah it was like you let him down no no no no he's like i don't want you to hurt your neck but you're going down motherfucker don't come at me that was me then wasn't this whole thing he like, I'm embarrassed about myself. He had a whole presser where he did this whole mea culpa, and it was just like,
Starting point is 00:18:09 it's okay. Just get out of here, Zim. And George Floyd is trending because his family settled with the city of Minneapolis for $27 million, which that's good that the city of
Starting point is 00:18:28 minneapolis well first of all his family obviously deserves uh well they deserve for george floyd to still be alive right uh 27 million dollars is good good for them and also good for disincentivizing you know that the way america works like you need to make people pay like make it not profitable yeah basically morals don't hurt people money right so that's like the thing um you know fucking 27 million okay so that seems to indicate you think something really fucked up happened so i'd hope the trial reflects this level of acknowledgement um but yeah at the end of the day like this this is one dimension of i'm sure the kind of justice that his family's seeking on top of actually having accountability for the police officers involved in his death yep And there will be more on that next week. Uh,
Starting point is 00:19:25 hopefully. Cause that trial starts. Yep. Uh, all right. That is going to do it for this Friday for this week. Uh, for season one,
