  SPEAKER_00: You know, it's hilarious.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: Someone showed a picture.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: You know, they took pictures of it, even though it's all surrounded by fence and whatever.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: But you can see the tire tracks from where Trump and his people drove all over it.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, my God.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_01: Can you?
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't see that.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: Which is like so vandals damaged it, though, right?
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: It was the vandal with their tire.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: That's what that is really funny.
• 1:31

  SPEAKER_00: This is recording.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: I know.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: Just it's just I can't I can't even watch people.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: This is the recording of July 16th,
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: 2026, and we have a lot to get to on episode 105 of the Yacht Pod.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: We ready to do this?
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: Excellent.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: All right, now let's get to it.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: It's time for the Oga Nation news update.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: So, Trump,
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: because he's a fucking fascist,
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: has dismantled the Election Assistance Commission,
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: the EAC,
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: after Supreme Court reversed the 91-year-old Humphreys executor precedent
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: that shielded independent commissions.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: Trump fired Benjamin Hovland and Thomas Hicks.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: Those are the two Democrats on the committee.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: He allowed the remaining Republican, Christie McCormick, to resign.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: Aw, how nice.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: Insinuating that the three remaining members of the commission were, quote,
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: not totally aligned with the important task of securing America's elections
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: and ensuring every legal vote is counted.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: Durgin went on to say that it had been working to ensure elections were,
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: quote, unquote, safe and specifically mentioned the midterms.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: Now, of course,
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: what they meant here when they said they're not totally aligned,
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: they're not willing to rig the election for Trump.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: That's what they're saying.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: Trump is insisting,
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: will insist that he has the authority to appoint temporary members,
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: members whose idea of election integrity will be to lie to the public.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: But only Congress can confirm appointments to the EAC.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: Remember,
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: temporary appointments are Trump's favorite workaround
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: to avoid congressional approval.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: He could just leave the commission empty and use the void.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: The EAC isn't the only commission that Trump has intentionally dismantled in order
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: to fuck with the midterms.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: The federal election
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: And there are hundreds of FEC cases remain open
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: and violations are completely unenforced as a result, which is the point.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: That's why he's doing this.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: And it's allowing Republicans to fuck with the elections.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: That's the point.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: That's why he's crippling the FEC.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: When this is all over,
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: Democrats need to remove all of these agencies And commissions from
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: the executive branch and either put them under the sole control of Congress or
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: the judiciary.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: So the next Republican fascists, and they're all going to be fascists going forward, will not.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: We will not be able to do this again.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: Tomorrow night, we're recording this on Wednesday.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to be playing this on Thursday.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: So Thursday night,
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: Trump is going to be having a primetime speech or whatever,
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: announcements or whatever.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: He's going to be out there babbling.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: He's supposed to be giving some kind of speech about the election.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: It's all going to be bullshit about things they've discovered,
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: which means stuff they've made up.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: And they're going to be talking,
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: supposedly,
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: he's going to be talking about the 2020 election and how it was rigged
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: and how they have proof.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: Which they can't provide.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: They're not going to be able to provide that proof.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: You're just going to have to take their work.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: And allegedly,
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: he's going to be talking about how both Georgia senators,
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: Raphael Warnock and John Ossoff, worked.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: They're illegitimately elected.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: Their elections were tampered with and neither one of them is legitimate
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: and they're going to be doing something about it.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: What it comes down to,
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: Trump has been fixated on Georgia this entire time because Because as far
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: as he's concerned, that state should have been stolen for him.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: Is he's fanatically fixated on grievances against himself.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: So he will never,
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: ever stop trying to prove,
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: quote unquote, that the 2020 election was rigged against him.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: Even if he has to completely fabricate the evidence, which he's going to do.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: Now, we don't know what this is going to look like.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: We don't know what this is going to sound like.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: We don't know what fake evidence he's going to try to put forward.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: But we know as soon as it gets into court,
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: it's going to be burned to a cinder because when you get it into court,
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: You actually have to provide the evidence.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: And when they refuse to do that,
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: every fucking judge is going to be like, yeah, we're not doing that.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: Like even Republican judges have a habit of going,
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_00: yeah, I'm not ruling on that without some fucking evidence.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: If you won't give me evidence, get out of my court.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: Except for the Supreme Court.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: The Republican justices there will rule on anything without evidence because that's the job.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: But I doubt this is going to get to the Supreme Court.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: I doubt they're going to touch this with a 10-foot pole.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to see how this goes.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_00: But this is just the next step in them trying to steal the 2026 midterms.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: So something to look at.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: Buckle up.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: And we will talk about whatever bullshit he comes up with next.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: Meanwhile, let us move on to the next bit of bullshit.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_01: Last week, we told you about the death of Lorenzo Salgado Arojo in Houston.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_01: ICE agents claimed that the 52-year-old construction worker tried to run them over,
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_01: even though there's video evidence proving that was not the case.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_01: And that left them no choice but to open fire on him.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_01: In a not at all shocking turn of events,
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_01: the men who were in the vehicle with him said that's not what happened at all.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: Shocker.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_01: The Washington Post published an exclusive interview with the men's attorney.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_01: Three men were in the vehicle with Salgado Arojo when he was murdered.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_01: They were all taken into ICE custody.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_01: And And prosecutors in Texas have actually obtained,
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_01: they've certified their U visas,
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_01: which is super important because a U visa certification means
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_01: that they should be stopped from deportation so that they can testify or testify in
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_01: the U And EU visas,
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_01: for those of you who don't know,
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_01: are given to people who cooperate with police,
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_01: and typically they can get their citizenship from them.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_01: It's called the golden ticket.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_01: Their names are Jose Trinidad.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_01: Bernadette Rojos, Daniel Tirado Pentaho, and the victim's brother, Victor Salgado.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_01: In a written statement, Rojos claimed that ICE is lying.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_01: He said, quote, How can you run somebody over when they are on the sides of the vehicle?
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_01: It's just not possible.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, doesn't your car drive sideways?
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, mine does.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_01: Only when I'm on a slippery road with no tread.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_00: Only when I got NASCAR tires on my car.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_01: Um, the attorney,
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_01: their attorney said that the other two men who were in the vehicle echoed
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_01: that statement.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_01: It's important to understand that these men were all separated before they were put
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_01: into custody.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_01: So they had no time to collude with one another to, like, create some narrative.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_01: So the fact that they're all telling the same story is very telling.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_01: The men claimed that they were headed to a construction site after buying water and ice.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_01: Salgado Araujo was stopped at a red light.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_01: When it turned green, a vehicle cut in front of them and stopped.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_01: He attempted to make a U-turn.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_01: That's when A.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_01: Agents turned on their police lights in their vehicle.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_01: He continued to move forward.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_01: Then the ICE agents hit his vehicle.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_01: One yelled stop while firing into the passenger side of the van.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_01: So he never had the opportunity to...
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_01: They just immediately opened fire on him.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_01: He was hit in the stomach and the agents continued firing even after he was hit and
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_01: then violently pulled him out of the van and threw him to the ground.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_01: The victim screamed for help.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_01: As he bled out and his brother said that agents mocked him asking in Spanish,
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_01: you wanted to escape, right?
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: It just tells you that they're not doing this because they feared for their lives or
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: because they felt they were threatened.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_00: They're doing it because they wanted to.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_00: It was motivated by animus.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: It was motivated by him and they're enjoying it.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and the fact that the men who pulled him out
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_01: and mocked him were also Hispanic is just fucking disgusting and vile.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes it'd be your own people.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the call is coming
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_01: from in the house.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_01: As I said,
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_01: all of the witnesses were not able to create a narrative,
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_01: which means that it's probably true what they were saying
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_01: because they're all telling the same story.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_01: And the ICE agents were Not wearing body cams, shockingly.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_00: Because of course not.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_00: You know,
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: I want to take these Hispanic ICE agents,
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: sit them down and explain to them, you're not white.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_00: You're never going to be white.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_00: If you think you are,
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_00: I want to drop you off with the neo-Nazis and tell them with no badges, no nothing.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: Just drop you off in an arena with a bunch of neo-Nazis,
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: tell them your name, and then see what happens to you.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_00: Once they're done ripping you limb for limb as you're screaming,
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: I'm one of you, then you're going to find out you're not actually white.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: They don't care because once they're done deporting all the people you think are
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: the bad ones, you're next, buddy.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_01: It's kind of like the Christians who are being attacked by the far right Israelis right now.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_00: It's like you were never one of them.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_00: They were never going to leave you alone.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: You were always next in line.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_00: Morgan says they have Stephen Milleritis.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_01: Well, as a Latino, I'm sure you feel all kinds of ways about that.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_01: And my husband does, too.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_01: My husband always says, you know, nobody hates you more than the immigrant who came before you.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_01: Sadly, another man was also shot and killed by ICE this week.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_01: On Monday...
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_01: In Biddeford, Maine,
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_01: 26-year-old Juan Sebastian Guerrero,
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_01: a legal resident who had a work card and a social security number,
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_01: was pulled over because he was a brown person near the scene of an ICE raid.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_01: Guerrero was married and had a three-year-old daughter who was,
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think she was in the car.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_01: I think she was near, like, he was near his house.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_01: And the three-year-old and the mother witnessed it.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_01: And she apparently,
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: according to reports,
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_01: she was standing outside in bluey pajamas while her dad bled to death on the ground.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_00: Which is... Just delightful.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: Just delightful.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: And they yelled at her.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they yelled at her because she was smelling flowers.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_00: Because that's necessary.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, oh, what is she, illegally smelling flowers?
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_00: Like, what the fuck are they doing?
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Guerrero was not the target of the ICE raid,
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_01: even though they tried to say that he was at first,
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_01: and then they changed their story.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_01: They're also calling him illegal, which is not true.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_01: He had, as I said,
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_01: he'd been issued a social security number and he was legally working in
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_01: the United States, which means he was documented.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_01: But of course,
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_01: that doesn't matter because whether you're documented or not,
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_01: you don't deserve to be murdered on the street.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I've been talking to Ogre about this this week.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_01: This is really affecting my husband, who is a legal immigrant.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_01: He has a green card.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_01: He went...
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_01: He went out and bought life insurance because he said that he wanted to make sure
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_01: that,
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_01: we were taken care of in case ICE murdered him, which is fucking wild to me.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_01: Then yesterday morning when he found out about this,
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_01: because he came home late the night that this happened.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_01: So he didn't find out about it until the next day.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_01: And he came into the bedroom and he said, they're killing us.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_01: You know, how am I supposed to respond to that?
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_00: I can never understand what my husband is going through.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_01: ICE also claimed that Guerrero fled the scene,
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_01: so they had to kill him to protect the public,
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_01: which is another way of saying that they shot the car.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_01: They shot at a car that was driving away from them.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_01: In this incident,
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_01: they also claimed that he was weaponizing his car,
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_01: but video shows that they were on the sides of his car, not in front of it.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but at first they didn't say that.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_00: They didn't go with that narrative at first.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_00: That came later.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: So they changed their story again.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_01: By the way, they were also not wearing
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_00: body cams.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's so weird.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_00: It's almost like they didn't have unlimited budget to spend as much as they want on anything.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_00: They just deliberately chose not to get body cams.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_01: And an older Caucasian man saw the aftermath and they said as he was as
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_01: the ICE agents pulled him out of the car, he said, but I tried to stop.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_01: But they handcuffed him and let him bleed to death before leaving his body on
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_01: the street for hours in front of his daughter.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_01: Stephen Miller's Gustavo killed Guerrero based on the fact that he was brown
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_01: and they could.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_01: And also before I let Ogre take over here, there was another death in Florida yesterday.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_01: I just tried to pull over a vehicle with immigrants in it.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_01: They ran and one of them ran into traffic and got hit by a truck, a semi-truck.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_01: The semi-truck driver got out and tried to save him, but it was too late.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's nice that the guy tried to because I certainly wouldn't have.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, we know that they just let him die.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_01: They don't care.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: Now, mediocre racist white people,
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_00: because this is how I refer to them all the time now,
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_00: will say Guerrero should have complied.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_00: But first, those same people, they're the same ones who cried big sobby tears.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_00: Would we say that about the dead terrorist Ashley?
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_00: Over and over again, killing them.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_00: The only sane response is to flee.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_00: But Guerrero wasn't doing that.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_00: He tried to stop.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_00: He tried to pull over.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_00: And they killed him anyway because they wanted to.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_00: They wanted to kill him.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_00: Now, as of Tuesday,
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_00: we're recording this on Wednesday,
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_00: ICE is suspending vehicle stops until their racist agents understand their orders
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_00: to stop murdering civilians.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_00: This is supposed to be a Pause for further training, but that's bullshit.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_00: These are violent,
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_00: trigger-happy white nationalists who think they'll be protected by Trump no matter
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_00: who they kill.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_00: Because so far, that's been true.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_00: No one's been punished for We still don't even know who killed Renee Good and Alex Preddy.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_00: No one's been punished for any of that.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_00: We don't even know their names yet.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: ICE is absolutely out of fucking control and cannot be fucking fixed.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_00: It has to be abolished.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_00: All of the agents investigated and brought up on charges.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_00: Nuremberg them all.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_00: Every one of them.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_00: Every single fucking one of them.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_00: Even though Guerrero is not a white person,
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_00: this is important because so far,
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_00: most of our protesting is reserved for when they kill white people.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_00: Still, people have...
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_00: They showed up at Susan Collins' Biddeford office chanting,
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_00: vote her out,
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_00: which does not vote well for the deeply unpopular senator who,
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_00: until Last week was looking forward to an easy win over Graham Plattner.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_00: Now she's going to be facing a Democrat.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_00: We still don't know who,
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_00: but whoever it is,
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_00: they're not going to have a Nazi tattoo and rape allegations
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_00: while Susan Collins is going to be wearing her vote to fully fund the murderers
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_00: of ICE around her neck like albatross.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_01: And did you hear her?
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_01: She was like, this is just proof that ICE needs to wear body cams.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, let me let me tell you something.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_00: We here at The Opinionated Ogre Podcast are very sure
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_00: that Susan Collins is very concerned and we feel just awful for her.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_00: That fucking.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_00: So anyway, let us move on.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_00: Let us reminisce about the ceasefire that ended the Iran War
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_00: and everything was fine forever and ever because Donald Trump is
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_00: the greatest dealmaker of all time.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_00: Mr. Art of the Deal.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_00: Art of the Deal.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_00: The war's over.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, wait, darn, it's not.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_00: But we all knew that was bullshit weeks ago, and now it's official.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_00: The war that never really ended is back on because Donald Trump is a fucking moron
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_00: who can't admit he lost.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_00: And that's really what it comes down to.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_00: We lost.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_00: Trump refused to accept the terms of the deal because we lost.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_00: And now after weeks of exchanging fire and Iran attacking ships that were violating.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_00: Now, that
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_00: gives him another 60 days to wage war without congressional oversight.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_00: And presumably on day 59, Trump will claim a new fake ceasefire in place just like last time.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_00: Trump announced on Monday that the U.S.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: Navy is going to blockade the Strait of Hormuz again and threatened to impose
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_00: a 20% fee slash illegal toll on any ship that comes through.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_01: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_01: So we're blockading their blockade?
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, again, we're doing this again.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_00: This is about $30 million per tanker.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_00: Iran was only demanding about $2 million.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: But he dropped this demand because he just came up with it on his own.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_00: Like he just whipped it up out of his ass because the Gulf states tripped
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_00: over their own dicks to offer Trump more bribes slash investment in
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_00: the United States.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_00: Because we have a cheap fucking mob boss in the White House
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_00: and Republicans will never be allowed to wash the stain of Trump
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_00: from their filthy party of criminal.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_00: So.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_00: Trump is also now pretending his ceasefire,
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_00: which he bragged about incessantly, wasn't that big a deal because it failed.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_00: So it's not what ceasefire.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_00: Never met him.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_00: He was the coffee boy.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_00: Who gives a shit?
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_00: Never met him.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_00: In order to keep paying for Trump's imbecile and illegal war,
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_00: Republicans are trying to push through a new military spending bill worth
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_00: at least 70 billion dollars.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_00: Jesus Christ.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_00: This is on top of the 1.5 trillion military budget that they're trying to ramp through.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_00: And they're doing this in an election year where they said they had
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_00: to cut school lunches and Medicaid because America was broke.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_00: And here's a funny story.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_01: Never broke enough for war.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_00: They're not even discussing cutting spending anywhere else or raising taxes to pay for the war.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_00: And isn't it weird that we have unlimited money for war,
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_00: but never enough money for children, the sick, the elderly?
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_00: So weird.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_00: So weird.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_00: To the surprise of absolutely no one,
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_00: certainly not me,
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_00: the price of oil is going back up, which means the price of gas is going back up.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_00: You said it's back up to like $4 by you?
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_00: It's back up to like 389 by me.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_00: So good times.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_00: And that means inflation is going to start going back up.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_00: Like it kind of leveled out, went down a little bit.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_00: That's going to start going back up real fucking fast.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_00: And we would We're just a few weeks away
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_00: from draining our Strategic Petroleum Reserve to the bare minimum
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_00: the military says it needs.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_00: On top of that,
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: we are severely damaging the physical infrastructure of the salt cave Oh,
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_00: so it's like an aquifer.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_00: Like you drain it too much and you get a sinkhole.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_00: Kind of.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_00: We're damaging that.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_00: And if we break them,
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_00: we're not going to be able to get too much of that oil at all
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_00: or what we get is going to be shitty.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_00: We have to stop at some point or we're just going to break it and we're not going
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_00: to be able to get to it at all.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_00: If we get to that physical limit or to the minimum,
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_00: the military is going to be like, hey,
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_00: you take any more of that, we're not going to be ready for a war if we get into one.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_00: Who knows, you know, the Republicans are going to scream bloody murder because national defense.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_00: Now, China is kind of doing the same thing.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_00: They're using their own reserves and they're cutting back on their oil.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_00: Again, we discussed this before the show.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_00: They're avoiding importing oil,
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_00: but it's not clear how much they have on hand
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_00: or how long they can keep their imports at a level.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_00: They've cut their imports by more than half.
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_00: That's part of the reason there hasn't been a worse oil shortage because they're
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_00: the largest importer in the world.
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_00: So they cut it by half.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_00: That leaves more for the rest of us.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_00: Their widespread of adoption of EVs
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_00: and renewables have made them far less disappointed on oil,
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_00: which I would think would be an object lesson for us,
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_00: the greatest country in the world.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_00: But Republicans are owned by the fossil fuel industry.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_00: So we're turning into a third world shithole instead of abandoning energy sources
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_00: that hold us hostage.
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_00: Because they're making very cheap and allegedly reliable electric vehicles.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_00: If and when oil prices spike and inflation spirals out of control,
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_00: the bank and AI bubbles,
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_00: which we've been talking about for months, are going to pop.
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_00: Republicans will wish for the carefree days of the 2008-2009 crash.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_00: And kiss those midterms, which are already a fucking disaster for Republicans, will become...
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_00: I can't even, there's not even words for what that's going to look like.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_00: But here we go,
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_00: because there's nothing Trump can do at this point to open the Strait of Hormuz,
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_00: no matter how.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_00: He says it's open for everybody, but it's not.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_00: So.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_00: So as he can say it all he wants,
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_00: oh my God,
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_00: we're going to go back to his whole bullshit thing about he's going
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_00: to start going back to manipulating the market, isn't he?
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_00: About how the straights open on one day and then two days later, oh no, everything's terrible.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_00: He's going to start manipulating the market again so his friends can make money.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_01: God, just fucking Christ.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_00: I forgot about that.
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_00: It's been a couple of months since they were doing it.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yay.
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_00: That's something to look forward to.
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_00: All right, let's move on.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_00: It's time for Florida Woman's favorite segment, Headlines for Short Attention Spans.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_01: So Keg's breath once again interfered in the suspension of service members
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_01: because apparently there's no accountability when Pete Hegseth is in charge,
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_01: even though he's all about, what is it, meritocracy.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_00: I have to assume all of these people were white.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_01: Eight Apache helicopter pilots with
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_01: the South Carolina National Guard were suspended temporarily during
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_01: a safety investigation for flying too low during a beach flyover on July 4th.
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_01: They went across several beaches like Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_01: And there's video of it.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_01: They were very, very low, like hovering above the water low.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_01: It was very low.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_01: So FAA rose.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_01: Regulations require fixed-wing aircraft,
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_01: which a helicopter is not a fixed-wing aircraft,
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_01: to remain at least 500 feet above people,
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_01: structures, etc., or over open water, or in sparsely populated areas.
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_01: Helicopters are allowed to fly low.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_01: If they do it safely and are on their flight path,
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_01: which I'm assuming this one was not, or that's why they were investigating.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_01: The military suspended them temporarily just to check it out.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_01: But Pete Hegseth decided to step in and on X,
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_01: of course,
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_01: because that's where the government communicates,
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_01: promised that he was going to fix it.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_01: And then shortly after, the pilots were cleared to fly.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_00: But was Kid Rock on one of the helicopters again?
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and it's just like that, where they're like fly patriots.
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_01: It's just like, guys, it's okay if they make a mistake.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_01: The military should be allowed to discipline them.
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_00: I guarantee they're all white.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what they look like, but look at the video.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_01: It's wild.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_00: The Department of Justice,
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_00: the Department of Injustice,
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_00: is targeting the New York fucking Times over reports about security Trump took
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_00: the luxury jet to the NATO summit in Turkey, but had to take an older model for
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_00: The Qatari jet is reportedly lacking anti-missile capabilities
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_00: and other protective features because Trump demanded-
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_00: That it be rushed because he wanted to start using it.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_00: He was tired of waiting and he wanted it right now, now, now, now, now.
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_00: Me, me, me, me, me.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_00: I want my luxury jet because I want to fly like a fucking king, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 28:09
  SPEAKER_00: So it wasn't Done.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_00: The report embarrassed Trump.
• 28:12
  SPEAKER_00: He allegedly demanded a probe to find out who leaked to the Times.
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_00: The DOJ subpoenaed several journalists,
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_00: even hand-delivering some of them to their actual,
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_00: you know, either place of work or at home.
• 28:24
  SPEAKER_00: And the reporters would be This is such a wild violation of the First Amendment.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_00: I'm having a hard time seeing any fucking judge look at this and not saying,
• 28:38
  SPEAKER_00: get the fuck This is literally what the First Amendment exists for.
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_00: Screaming national security is not going to fucking cut it here.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_00: This is not a matter of national security.
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_00: Just because a lack of preparation on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_00: You fucked up.
• 28:59
  SPEAKER_00: It got reported to the media.
• 29:01
  SPEAKER_00: That's a you problem, not an America problem.
• 29:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 29:05
  SPEAKER_01: And now Hegseth has launched an investigation to find out who the leakers are.
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_00: And, you know, not for nothing.
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_00: They can do that, but they can't punish them for it.
• 29:15
  SPEAKER_00: When they do, which they will, those people should absolutely fucking sue.
• 29:20
  SPEAKER_00: It's like you because they're not the ones that put the country in danger.
• 29:24
  SPEAKER_00: Trump.
• 29:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_00: They let him fly on an Air Force One that was not finished was a huge fucking misjudgment.
• 29:47
  SPEAKER_00: That was a huge fucking lack of judgment.
• 29:50
  SPEAKER_00: They're the ones that put him, the country, and granted, if he died, we'd be better off.
• 29:55
  SPEAKER_01: And now they're saying,
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_01: oh, you know, people were trying to kill him and that's why he had to switch jets.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_01: No, it's because, you know, maybe that's true.
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_01: Well, even if it is true.
• 30:06
  SPEAKER_01: But also, you're the one who got into the thing that wasn't ready.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 30:10
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's the president of the United States.
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_00: You always assume someone's trying to kill him.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_00: Regardless of, you know, if he's Trump or not.
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_00: Someone always wants to kill the president of the United States because it's
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_00: the president of the United States.
• 30:22
  SPEAKER_00: Therefore, you do not use an unfinished Air Force One.
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_00: The fact that they did is not the fault of the people who fucking reported on it.
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_00: It's the fault of the people who actually fucking did it.
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_00: And they're the ones who should be held fucking accountable for that.
• 30:39
  SPEAKER_00: And that's how that goes.
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_00: So fuck.
• 30:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 30:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 30:42
  SPEAKER_01: It's crazy.
• 30:42
  SPEAKER_01: So dozens of people in the U.S.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_01: have been hospitalized and at least 7000 have been sickened as the result of
• 30:49
  SPEAKER_01: a foodborne parasite.
• 30:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yay.
• 30:53
  SPEAKER_00: In 2026, this is the world we fucking live in now.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_01: I got really dark all of a sudden.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_01: There's an infection known as cyclosporiasis.
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_01: Cyclosporiasis.
• 31:05
  SPEAKER_00: Sounds like a really bad version of dandruff.
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_01: Causing gastrointestinal issues, including watery diarrhea and explosive diarrhea.
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_01: Please miss me with that.
• 31:19
  SPEAKER_01: There's been a sharp rise in cases this year compared to last.
• 31:23
  SPEAKER_01: And guess what, guys?
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_01: Doge and RFK Jr.
• 31:28
  SPEAKER_01: decided last year that they were going to stop monitoring the parasite that causes
• 31:34
  SPEAKER_01: the infection.
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_01: The FoodNet program used to track this parasite and seven other foods.
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_01: Now it only monitors two of them.
• 31:44
  SPEAKER_01: I'm pretty sure that we talked about this.
• 31:47
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think we named this one,
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_01: but we did talk about how they were monitoring eight foodborne pathogens and
• 31:52
  SPEAKER_01: then stopped last year when they decided to gut this part of the agency.
• 31:58
  SPEAKER_01: And now we're seeing the result of the Trump regime's incompetence.
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_00: I really want Elon Musk and RFK Judy to get both of these and die from it.
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_00: Kind of like dysentery.
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_00: Let them shit themselves to death.
• 32:10
  SPEAKER_00: That would be so great.
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, man.
• 32:13
  SPEAKER_01: You're just, you know.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_00: It would be awesome.
• 32:15
  SPEAKER_00: That would be a dream country.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_01: If you don't want to have explosive diarrhea, wash your fucking produce, including your herbs.
• 32:24
  SPEAKER_01: Cut off the damaged parts.
• 32:25
  SPEAKER_01: Like if there's little soft parts where the pathogen might have been able to get
• 32:28
  SPEAKER_01: into, you want to cut those off.
• 32:30
  SPEAKER_01: Buy whole heads of lettuce, not the prepackaged stuff.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_00: And it's better if you cook it.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_00: Like washing it is not guaranteed.
• 32:40
  SPEAKER_00: Cooking it is far, far better.
• 32:43
  SPEAKER_01: So we're all going to have to avoid salads for a minute,
• 32:47
  SPEAKER_01: which sucks because that's mostly what we eat here.
• 32:52
  SPEAKER_01: As of Tuesday,
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_01: the CDC and FDA are looking really hard at Taco Bell as the source,
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_01: but we're still waiting for confirmation.
• 33:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_00: The jokes just write themselves there.
• 33:03
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, why even, Bob?
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 33:06
  SPEAKER_00: Let us move on to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
• 33:10
  SPEAKER_00: They're trying to build a resort on Albanian Island they purchased with investors.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_00: The land deal, this has been going on for weeks.
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_00: The land deal has led to widespread protests in Albania.
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_00: And there's been a host of jokes about Trump and Kushner trying
• 33:27
  SPEAKER_00: to create their own Epstein Island, which, you know, come on, they probably are.
• 33:33
  SPEAKER_00: Prosecutors are now investigating whether the land deeds for the resort were forged,
• 33:37
  SPEAKER_00: which, I mean, come on, would anyone be fucking surprised?
• 33:41
  SPEAKER_00: They're also accusing Artur Shahu,
• 33:44
  SPEAKER_00: a Miami-based businessman who transferred the land to the Kushner-backed entity,
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_00: of using the Albanian property sale to launder cocaine proceeds,
• 33:52
  SPEAKER_00: which, I mean, come on.
• 33:54
  SPEAKER_00: The Kushners and the Trumps, this has been like a thing.
• 33:57
  SPEAKER_00: They've been using their properties to launder illegal, like launder money for decades.
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_01: Allegedly.
• 34:05
  SPEAKER_01: Don't sue us.
• 34:07
  SPEAKER_00: I'd like to have the Trumps sue and do discovery because,
• 34:12
  SPEAKER_00: Jesus Christ, there's so much Russian money going through the Trump properties.
• 34:17
  SPEAKER_00: Good luck doing discovery.
• 34:19
  SPEAKER_00: They would never want to do that because it would be a disaster.
• 34:22
  SPEAKER_01: I guess we know where RFK Jr. is getting his toilet seat cocaine from.
• 34:29
  SPEAKER_00: He just has to walk into a Trump bathroom and it's right there.
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_00: So anyway,
• 34:32
  SPEAKER_00: locals have been fighting Shahoo over his alleged rights to the property for
• 34:36
  SPEAKER_00: a decade.
• 34:37
  SPEAKER_00: Several villagers have provided title deeds and tax records to reporters
• 34:40
  SPEAKER_00: that indicate they own the property.
• 34:42
  SPEAKER_00: And residents are now asking the courts to stop the development project.
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_00: This is just absolutely typical, right?
• 34:49
  SPEAKER_00: Everything they do,
• 34:50
  SPEAKER_00: everything the Trumps and Kushners do is just,
• 34:53
  SPEAKER_00: there's just corruption and corruption and corruption all over the place from top
• 34:58
  SPEAKER_00: to bottom.
• 34:59
  SPEAKER_00: They're just stupid.
• 35:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 35:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 35:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 35:25
  SPEAKER_01: So while your gas prices are skyrocketing and the cost of groceries is up
• 35:31
  SPEAKER_01: and everything else costs more money,
• 35:33
  SPEAKER_01: Congress has decided what's really important is the WNBA.
• 35:37
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, for sure.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_01: They are now wasting our time and money investigating the league
• 35:42
  SPEAKER_01: for like reverse racism or something.
• 35:45
  SPEAKER_01: If you pay attention to sports at all,
• 35:47
  SPEAKER_01: then you know that Republicans have suddenly started watching the WNBA because
• 35:51
  SPEAKER_01: of Caitlin Clark.
• 35:53
  SPEAKER_01: They've turned the white industry She's an athlete.
• 35:54
  SPEAKER_01: She's allowed to do that.
• 35:55
  SPEAKER_01: She's allowed to do that.
• 35:57
  SPEAKER_01: And she is very good.
• 36:11
  SPEAKER_01: Her skills and her shit-talking have made her opponents play more aggressively
• 36:16
  SPEAKER_01: when trying to block her.
• 36:18
  SPEAKER_01: And I will say that some of it is,
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_01: you know, just, you know, they shouldn't be hitting her that hard.
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_01: But it's not unusual or unprecedented.
• 36:28
  SPEAKER_01: She's not the only player in the history of sports ball to be checked on the court,
• 36:32
  SPEAKER_01: gridiron, or pitch.
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, we're watching the World Cup right now.
• 36:35
  SPEAKER_01: We're seeing it.
• 36:37
  SPEAKER_00: And it has nothing to do with the fact that she's white.
• 36:39
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't.
• 36:39
  SPEAKER_01: It has to do with a lot of shit.
• 36:41
  SPEAKER_01: And she's good.
• 36:42
  SPEAKER_01: It has more to do with the fact that she's good.
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_01: Don't tell Republicans in the House that,
• 36:46
  SPEAKER_01: though, because they really think that she's being discriminated against.
• 36:50
  SPEAKER_01: The WHO NBA Commissioner Kathy Engelbert received a letter from
• 36:55
  SPEAKER_01: the House Republican Study Committee demanding answers about how
• 36:59
  SPEAKER_01: the league is protecting Clark.
• 37:01
  SPEAKER_01: Clark, guys.
• 37:02
  SPEAKER_01: Not any of the other players.
• 37:03
  SPEAKER_01: Just Clark.
• 37:04
  SPEAKER_01: The Congressional Committee wants the DOJ to investigate the league
• 37:08
  SPEAKER_01: for discrimination in creating a hostile work environment for Clark.
• 37:12
  SPEAKER_01: Like, okay.
• 37:13
  SPEAKER_01: So, are we going to investigate every time an athlete gets hurt on the field?
• 37:17
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 37:17
  SPEAKER_00: Only if they're white and only if the other people doing it are black.
• 37:20
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 37:21
  SPEAKER_01: And that's exactly what it is.
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_01: And they really have tried to make this a race war in the WNBA, which is fucking crazy.
• 37:31
  SPEAKER_01: They probably only know the name of her.
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, we got to remember that's that was the Republicans and the right
• 37:37
  SPEAKER_00: in general don't give a shit about women unless they can use it
• 37:41
  SPEAKER_00: to further their culture war stuff.
• 37:43
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 37:43
  SPEAKER_00: That's what that's what the whole trans athletes thing is about.
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_00: They don't give a shit about women's sports or girls sports until it was we have
• 37:52
  SPEAKER_00: to defend girls from trans athletes, all 20 of them.
• 37:57
  SPEAKER_00: That's all it was.
• 37:58
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 37:58
  SPEAKER_00: It's like all of a sudden it's like, oh, I'll die if I can't protect women.
• 38:03
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 38:04
  SPEAKER_00: Are you going to protect women from bleeding to death in a hospital parking lot?
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_00: No, I don't give a fuck about them.
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_00: I give a shit about the 30 girls in the entire...
• 38:15
  SPEAKER_00: The entire United States with a couple, you know, tens of millions of girls playing sports.
• 38:20
  SPEAKER_00: There's 20 trans girls who want to play sports.
• 38:23
  SPEAKER_00: And I have to protect all those other girls,
• 38:25
  SPEAKER_00: but not the women bleeding to death in parking lots because I don't give a shit
• 38:28
  SPEAKER_00: about that.
• 38:29
  SPEAKER_00: But I believe women.
• 38:31
  SPEAKER_00: I trust women.
• 38:32
  SPEAKER_00: I have to protect women.
• 38:33
  SPEAKER_01: Could you imagine if Republicans lost or launched an investigation every single time
• 38:38
  SPEAKER_01: a white football player was checked on the field?
• 38:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 38:41
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, honestly, I'm surprised they haven't gone to that yet.
• 38:45
  SPEAKER_00: It's just all white victimization.
• 38:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's just white victimization.
• 38:49
  SPEAKER_00: They have to nail themselves, nail themselves to a cross.
• 38:53
  SPEAKER_00: It's like everything is just about how they're being victimized.
• 38:56
  SPEAKER_00: Victimized, victimized, victimized, victimized.
• 38:58
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 38:58
  SPEAKER_01: Our listener, Thierry, points out they hate black women more than anything.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_01: Well, there is a reason why Tupac said that black women are the most hated people in the world.
• 39:07
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, really, it just combines two of the things they hate.
• 39:10
  SPEAKER_00: They hate women and they hate black people.
• 39:12
  SPEAKER_00: Black women, they are the most loathed by Republicans.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_00: All right, let's move on.
• 39:17
  SPEAKER_00: The New York State has put a one-year stop to all data centers being built.
• 39:24
  SPEAKER_01: Oof, that's interesting because there was a big one that they were looking to build
• 39:28
  SPEAKER_01: in Niagara Falls over by the casino.
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_00: Not anymore.
• 39:32
  SPEAKER_00: Reuters reports,
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_00: the moratorium positions New York at the forefront of a growing national debate
• 39:37
  SPEAKER_00: over how to manage the infrastructure needed to support artificial intelligence.
• 39:41
  SPEAKER_00: While technology companies are racing to build new data centers,
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_00: lawmakers and regulators in dozens of states are weighing measures
• 39:47
  SPEAKER_00: to limit their effect on electricity grids, utility bills, and local communities.
• 39:53
  SPEAKER_00: No one who isn't a billionaire wants these fucking monstrosities.
• 39:58
  SPEAKER_00: And this is bipartisan hate.
• 40:00
  SPEAKER_00: No one likes AI.
• 40:03
  SPEAKER_00: Everyone hates data centers.
• 40:04
  SPEAKER_00: Both are wildly unpopular across the political spectrum.
• 40:09
  SPEAKER_00: We hate them.
• 40:10
  SPEAKER_00: Republicans hate them.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_00: It wouldn't be so bad if AI worked as advertised, but it doesn't.
• 40:17
  SPEAKER_00: Add that to the massive negative impact on communities,
• 40:20
  SPEAKER_00: power and water bills, and billionaires I promise you, that's going to happen.
• 40:25
  SPEAKER_00: When the AI bubble pops and
• 40:38
  SPEAKER_00: And the economy goes kaboom and everyone looks at AI data centers and say,
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_00: you fucking did that?
• 40:44
  SPEAKER_00: I guarantee you people are going to start burning them to the fucking ground
• 40:48
  SPEAKER_00: because they're a huge static target.
• 40:51
  SPEAKER_00: You can't move them.
• 40:53
  SPEAKER_00: And they're so large,
• 40:55
  SPEAKER_00: it's gonna be hard to protect them properly and people are gonna burn them to
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_00: the fucking ground.
• 40:59
  SPEAKER_00: Now, it should be noted, these data centers are never built near wealthy community.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_00: They always find their way towards poor communities.
• 41:08
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not sure if I'm not sure if I can.
• 41:23
  SPEAKER_00: It would be fine if the data centers were only impacting Black people, but they're not.
• 41:29
  SPEAKER_00: This is going to be a thing that's going to keep spreading through both parties
• 41:35
  SPEAKER_00: because it's just good politics for both of them.
• 41:38
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody likes data centers.
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_01: Deadline reports that Democratic AGs in 12 states,
• 41:44
  SPEAKER_01: including California,
• 41:45
  SPEAKER_01: the 500-pound gorilla of states,
• 41:47
  SPEAKER_01: are suing to block the obviously illegal merger-slash-hostile takeover
• 41:53
  SPEAKER_01: of Warner Brothers by MAGA Republican-owned Paramount.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_01: We talked about this earlier this year when Netflix dropped out of the— Yeah,
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_01: that was
• 42:03
  SPEAKER_00: unfortunate.
• 42:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 42:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so that Paramount could own yet another brand.
• 42:08
  SPEAKER_01: The AGs are suing over concerns of monopoly and damage to competition in theaters
• 42:14
  SPEAKER_01: and on cable TV as well as lost jobs.
• 42:16
  SPEAKER_01: We all know this is more about a rabid.
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, it's going great.
• 42:21
  SPEAKER_01: And somehow, it's weird.
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_01: I keep hearing two things.
• 42:23
  SPEAKER_01: Either Barry Weiss is getting fired or she's getting promoted.
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know which is happening yet.
• 42:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, who knows?
• 42:46
  SPEAKER_01: This kind of media consolidation is what authoritarian governments do,
• 42:50
  SPEAKER_01: and the propaganda is endless,
• 42:52
  SPEAKER_01: but the AGs can't say that in court,
• 42:54
  SPEAKER_01: so they're using an antitrust lawsuit,
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_01: which is, I do want to point out, this is what they did in Turkey, right?
• 43:02
  SPEAKER_01: Where he just took over all of the media organizations.
• 43:07
  SPEAKER_01: Same thing in Hungary.
• 43:08
  SPEAKER_01: Or Hungary, that's what I meant, Hungary, not Turkey.
• 43:10
  SPEAKER_00: I think they did the same thing in Turkey, though.
• 43:12
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 43:13
  SPEAKER_01: But for sure they did it in Hungary.
• 43:15
  SPEAKER_01: And Russia.
• 43:16
  SPEAKER_01: And Russia.
• 43:17
  SPEAKER_01: And all of the places.
• 43:21
  SPEAKER_01: Everyone is always demanding that Democrats do something.
• 43:25
  SPEAKER_01: And this is what that looks like.
• 43:26
  SPEAKER_01: As Rachel Maddow always says, watch this space.
• 43:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 43:30
  SPEAKER_00: We're definitely going to have to get back to this one.
• 43:32
  SPEAKER_00: We'll be touching back on this story.
• 43:34
  SPEAKER_01: I really hope that they succeed,
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_01: even though my self-care of the week is going to mention a Paramount show.
• 43:40
  SPEAKER_01: I'm so sorry, guys.
• 43:43
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry.
• 43:45
  SPEAKER_01: Anyway, on to self-care of the week.
• 43:47
  SPEAKER_01: The World Cup is still going on, so I have been in it.
• 43:51
  SPEAKER_01: I am in it.
• 43:53
  SPEAKER_01: That's Pickle
• 43:54
  SPEAKER_00: Bowl, right?
• 43:55
  SPEAKER_00: World Cup for Pickle Bowl?
• 43:58
  SPEAKER_01: As I mentioned last week, football's not on, so football it is.
• 44:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yesterday, Spain beat France.
• 44:06
  SPEAKER_01: It was, you know, I guess not too shocking.
• 44:10
  SPEAKER_01: They're the two best teams right now,
• 44:12
  SPEAKER_01: even though Argentina is the defending champion of the World Cup.
• 44:16
  SPEAKER_01: But still, Spain and France are really good teams.
• 44:19
  SPEAKER_01: So we all thought that France was going to go to the final.
• 44:22
  SPEAKER_01: But I was very happy that it's going to be Spain and Lamin-Yemal, who is a knight.
• 44:27
  SPEAKER_01: He just turned 19 and he's going to be in his first World Cup final.
• 44:31
  SPEAKER_01: So that's pretty cool.
• 44:33
  SPEAKER_01: Today, Wednesday, Argentina is facing England.
• 44:38
  SPEAKER_01: I am an Argentina stan.
• 44:40
  SPEAKER_01: There's a lot of hate for Argentina on TikTok, which is so silly.
• 44:45
  SPEAKER_00: Don't cry.
• 44:48
  SPEAKER_01: Suddenly,
• 44:48
  SPEAKER_01: like TikTok has decided that Messi is being helped by the refs,
• 44:53
  SPEAKER_01: which is funny because Messi chased a World Cup for like three decades
• 44:57
  SPEAKER_01: or however long he was in soccer for.
• 44:59
  SPEAKER_01: And then he only got his first World Cup four years ago.
• 45:02
  SPEAKER_01: So the idea that he's suddenly being helped by FIFA is hilarious.
• 45:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 45:08
  SPEAKER_01: Like, if that were true,
• 45:10
  SPEAKER_01: believe me, they would have given him a World Cup before, but whatever.
• 45:13
  SPEAKER_01: So Argentina is facing England.
• 45:16
  SPEAKER_01: I hope that they stomp on England, but who knows?
• 45:19
  SPEAKER_01: They're two really, really good teams, so I don't know what's going to happen.
• 45:22
  SPEAKER_01: And then Sunday is the World Cup final,
• 45:25
  SPEAKER_01: and I'm going to go watch it with my oldest son, which is going to be fun.
• 45:28
  SPEAKER_01: We're going to buy dinner and enjoy the game.
• 45:31
  SPEAKER_01: What are you going to do
• 45:31
  SPEAKER_00: after that?
• 45:32
  SPEAKER_01: God.
• 45:34
  SPEAKER_00: It's just going to be a wasteland of no sports for you.
• 45:38
  SPEAKER_01: I know.
• 45:38
  SPEAKER_01: It's so crazy that I've become this person.
• 45:41
  SPEAKER_01: So this is what happens when you have men who love sports in your life.
• 45:45
  SPEAKER_01: You just get in it.
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_01: You have to have something to talk to your kid about.
• 45:48
  SPEAKER_01: So you're like, I guess I'm a soccer fan now.
• 45:52
  SPEAKER_01: The other thing that I've been watching this week is the Dutton Ranch,
• 45:54
  SPEAKER_01: which is a spinoff of Yellowstone, and it has Beth and Rip.
• 45:58
  SPEAKER_01: It's actually very good.
• 46:00
  SPEAKER_01: So after Yellowstone ended, there was two shows, two spinoffs from that, which...
• 46:07
  SPEAKER_01: There's other spinoffs of Yellowstone, but these were the ones with the modern cast.
• 46:11
  SPEAKER_01: So the first one was Marshalls, which, don't get me wrong, was good, but it kind of lacked.
• 46:15
  SPEAKER_01: It was more like just a regular police thing, and it kind of lacked the Yellowstone vibe.
• 46:21
  SPEAKER_01: But the Dutton Ranch is all like Yellowstone.
• 46:23
  SPEAKER_01: It's very good.
• 46:24
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sure Mrs. Ogre will get to it.
• 46:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I actually think that you would like Yellowstone, because you liked Lioness.
• 46:32
  SPEAKER_00: I did, and season three is coming, so I have to go back and watch seasons one and two again.
• 46:36
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, I do the same thing.
• 46:38
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 46:40
  SPEAKER_00: So my self-care of the week.
• 46:42
  SPEAKER_00: So on the insistent demand of Lawrence Whitteman of the Daily Whatever Show,
• 46:47
  SPEAKER_00: I got my hands for my birthday and for Father's Day.
• 46:50
  SPEAKER_00: I got the first two books of Dungeon Crawler Carl.
• 46:55
  SPEAKER_00: It's, how do you explain Dungeon Crawler Carl?
• 46:59
  SPEAKER_00: It's a sci-fi fantasy, sort of.
• 47:03
  SPEAKER_00: Basically, Earth is invaded by aliens or it's taken over by aliens.
• 47:08
  SPEAKER_00: Most of the population is killed, like, instantly.
• 47:12
  SPEAKER_00: And millions of people are placed in a dungeon.
• 47:17
  SPEAKER_00: Essentially, a fantasy dungeon.
• 47:19
  SPEAKER_00: It's all science fiction, but,
• 47:21
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 47:22
  SPEAKER_00: you've heard the phrase, well,
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_00: you probably haven't because you don't know science fiction,
• 47:25
  SPEAKER_00: but Arthur C. Clarke had written once that any...
• 47:32
  SPEAKER_00: Science or any technology sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic.
• 47:37
  SPEAKER_00: So the technology is so advanced that it's effectively they're living in a magic dungeon.
• 47:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's literally just Dungeons & Dragons for them.
• 47:50
  SPEAKER_00: And it's indistinguishable.
• 47:51
  SPEAKER_00: They can't tell the difference.
• 47:53
  SPEAKER_00: It's all technology.
• 47:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's like being in a fantasy video game with menus and everything.
• 48:00
  SPEAKER_00: And it's just...
• 48:02
  SPEAKER_00: Just like being in a video game, except if you die, you die.
• 48:06
  SPEAKER_00: And they have to go through 18 levels of this dungeon.
• 48:10
  SPEAKER_00: And it gets increasingly harder.
• 48:12
  SPEAKER_00: And most of the people, like no one's ever made it past the 11th level of a dungeon.
• 48:17
  SPEAKER_00: And they do this to planets all over the galaxy.
• 48:20
  SPEAKER_00: Earth is just the most recent one.
• 48:23
  SPEAKER_00: And you're following the character, the title character, Carl and his cat.
• 48:28
  SPEAKER_00: And it's really funny.
• 48:31
  SPEAKER_00: It's very, very funny.
• 48:32
  SPEAKER_00: And it's really, really interesting.
• 48:34
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm like absolutely enjoying the shit out of it.
• 48:39
  SPEAKER_00: I just started reading it two days ago.
• 48:41
  SPEAKER_00: Like I've only I've only had two chances to sit down and read it for like an hour apiece.
• 48:44
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm already like page 140.
• 48:45
  SPEAKER_00: So.
• 48:47
  SPEAKER_00: So there's eight books so far, and I'm very happy.
• 48:51
  SPEAKER_00: There's going to be a whole bunch more.
• 48:52
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know how many he's planning, the author's planning to write.
• 48:55
  SPEAKER_00: But there's also a TV series that's been greenlit.
• 49:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's being done by Seth MacFarlane,
• 49:01
  SPEAKER_00: which is amazing because he's the guy who did, what do you call it?
• 49:07
  SPEAKER_00: What the hell is the name of the show?
• 49:09
  SPEAKER_00: It's like a Star Trek show, but it's not Star Trek.
• 49:11
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my God, I can't believe I forgot the name of the show.
• 49:13
  SPEAKER_00: Sigh.
• 49:14
  SPEAKER_00: It had three seasons and it got canceled.
• 49:17
  SPEAKER_00: Well, not canceled, but they just never went back to do it.
• 49:19
  SPEAKER_00: And it's an amazing series.
• 49:20
  SPEAKER_00: It's like the best Star Trek show that's not Star Trek.
• 49:23
  SPEAKER_00: But it's... Steph McFarlane does... Everything he does is amazing.
• 49:27
  SPEAKER_00: So when he does this, it's going to be incredible.
• 49:31
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm super, super excited this is happening.
• 49:34
  SPEAKER_00: It has been a minute since I read a book for fun.
• 49:36
  SPEAKER_00: So...
• 49:38
  SPEAKER_01: So Seth MacFarlane, isn't he the creator of Family Guy in American Dad?
• 49:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 49:43
  SPEAKER_00: That guy.
• 49:43
  SPEAKER_00: Same one.
• 49:44
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
• 49:45
  SPEAKER_00: I like his stuff.
• 49:46
  SPEAKER_00: And he's done a bunch of live action stuff, too.
• 49:49
  SPEAKER_00: And it's just he's fantastic.
• 49:52
  SPEAKER_00: And he really knows.
• 49:52
  SPEAKER_00: So, it's going to be incredible.
• 50:08
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm very, very much looking forward to this series.
• 50:12
  SPEAKER_00: And I have to keep reading books before it comes out.
• 50:14
  SPEAKER_00: So also this past Saturday,
• 50:18
  SPEAKER_00: we talked about it last week,
• 50:19
  SPEAKER_00: but June and Lila did not come to see the Rocky Horror Picture.
• 50:22
  SPEAKER_00: They want to watch a show with us.
• 50:23
  SPEAKER_00: They want to go do fireworks.
• 50:25
  SPEAKER_00: They want to go watch fireworks with their friends in Alexandria
• 50:28
  SPEAKER_00: because they're going away to college in a month and this is going to be
• 50:30
  SPEAKER_00: the last chance to hang out with their friends for a long time.
• 50:33
  SPEAKER_00: So I took Lillian and Anastasia.
• 50:38
  SPEAKER_00: But they hadn't seen it with a live shadow cast,
• 50:42
  SPEAKER_00: which is a bunch of people who just act out the entire movie.
• 50:46
  SPEAKER_00: And it was amazing.
• 50:47
  SPEAKER_00: They had a great time and it was so much fun.
• 50:52
  SPEAKER_00: It was an enormously great time.
• 50:55
  SPEAKER_00: It was hilarious.
• 50:56
  SPEAKER_00: And we're probably going to start making that like a regular thing.
• 50:59
  SPEAKER_00: Like every six months,
• 51:00
  SPEAKER_00: we're going to keep going back because it's something you have to do repeatedly
• 51:04
  SPEAKER_00: so you can just learn all the lines and scream them out, which is half the fun.
• 51:09
  SPEAKER_00: So, yes, it's definitely a show that you take your kids to.
• 51:14
  SPEAKER_01: So sports for me and nerd stuff for you seems typical.
• 51:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't know that Rocky Horror is considered nerd stuff.
• 51:22
  SPEAKER_00: No, I was talking about the book, not the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
• 51:26
  SPEAKER_00: Lots of people like that.
• 51:28
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
• 51:28
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 51:29
  SPEAKER_00: That is it for today's show.
