Media Blames Trump For Assassination Attempt, Tech Workers On Strike, Beeper Boys, And PIRATE IDOL
01:11:53 Share

The attempted assassination of Donald truck holiday, the second one, Donald trump himself has, uh, contributed more than any president history to violent retaliation .

for his own as fascination attempt IT doesn't actually add up.

I can't get over the fact that this do like fought in ukraine, like we seem to be gloss over that fact.

I think also we should just have my sad protect. The new york times tech gold is threatening to strike. They're asked for unlimited free time, a ban on senate products in ground.

Mandatory truder warnings and company meetings. You know, for the news outlet.

the daily wires mat wash claimed that adults shouldn't be taking sick days at the office.

What's up, guys? Welcome back to the pie wires podcast. Before we get started with the substance of the day, please subscribe the show.

I'm serious like this is I ask every week and I think that they just bleeds into your what you're hearing me say if you watch the show and like the show, subscribe to IT IT helps us IT does nothing to you you don't have to pay for what are we doing here help the guy out subscribe comment like IT share IT tell your friends about IT um you are a part of the poor nation and that comes with certain responsibility lies movie got um toy's the final round of the first there's a final episode of the first round of pirate idol. So some great ones line up for there. We have our Polly market segment today. We will be focusing on we're focusing on its we're focusing on israel. But just trust me, even make sense when we get there as as to why me we're talking about the beeper boys in the hesba of beer boys.

a Green business Operation.

And so we'll get there. But first um before anything else, I mean we have to talk about the the assassination of doll from holy shit the second one is a huge story yet somehow not huge enough, I feel which is perhaps may be to take this in the second. So just to kind of cap anybody who somehow doesn't know that the president was almost again or the former president now occurred, a person running for president don't trouble playing golf. Nobody knew that there was was in public posted, man um matti, this name because we don't name attempted presidental says is off maybe we do right I guess we do you talk about that is right .

roof is his name .

stood outside in the bushes for like eleven hours and was shot at spotted by the secret service agent who we're playing around the head right away a um a helpful good Karen saw him running into his car, were hand up the car into pictures at the license played and uh reporter is asked the police and now is in custody. We know nothing about him. Uh, we don't.

We know a lot about him. We don't know. We know not of the anything about his motives yet.

There's not been anything reported about perhaps what many people are wondering if he was working with someone on the inside because how how do you know where truck was? Um it's very strange I would say where I first started picking up on this story was sunday. I washed IT on the news.

I was washing cn, mb, c and fox. And I want to start because we're going to talk about the media's reaction to this. And I will say that on sunday I almost posted about how impressed I was with all of M, S, B, C. And cnm.

We're doing a great job, seen an especially thought, was doing a really good job of kind of passing what we knew, what we didn't, didn't just after really reporting on a story that I fell t was really important that I think probably just objectively was really important that our times had incredible coverage. Uh, and i'm so glad I didn't because by monday morning I was surfing. I mean, this is happens on sunday afternoon um the guy gets away.

It's you know taken into custody by monday morning, every single major media at almost had split coverage. Okay, the coverage was, on the one hand, dollar trust attempt at sassin ation and then directly next to IT. So on C, M, I saw this. On M, S, B, C, I saw this. Uh, the washington post, I saw this directly next to IT was story of the patient eating cats.

Did they did not? Did they did they not wise down on spreading fake news at at setter? And um this by monday afternoon are going into monday evening and certainly by tuesday morning evolved into a piece of a broader argument which was dollar trump was responsible for these attempted assiniboin mpt and um this was you know said widely there are tons tons of reporting to this effect largely the idea is that Donald trump himself has uh contributed more than any president in history to violent retaliation and um and that violent retaliation contributing now to attempted actual violence this was sort of um yeah there's a lot of media option here.

This is one of the pieces. Uh, it's not really quite clear how patients eating cats of violent rhetoric. It's certainly a whole other thing which we talked about last week. The fact that we're still talking about IT to me would imply there's a justification there like it's so hainous that that that IT could potentially set somebody off.

But when you think about justifying the violence um that's I don't know that it's a strange that's a strange new place to be in where a man almost got killed for the second time and we're saying, well know it's your own fault for whatever reason. Time kind of helps this narrative along in another interesting way by arguing you know was really not clear what this guy's politics, where this is this is it's very clear what as politics are we all had access to briefly to media. I squill IT. The man is a standard norm lip who um is obsessed with the ukraine.

I do think he gives a crazy vibe i'm sure there is something mentally wrong with him um but he was in the mansions of you know Harris and by asking for something to be done about shop not actually violently done but you know you know very sort of he used to phrase uh democracy is on the ballot we need to know fixed that this course in this country come on coma he just said that like some media on facebook or something um and uh and he has a biden Harry sticker um on the back of his pickup trucker is trucker whatever so sick t we know and he tried to kill trump like it's for me, it's not a complicated puzzle as to what this is politics are but for the video I was and a and I think that's how they made this work by observing what he believes and why he's doing, what he's doing. They could circum that what we talked about last time, the trump was almost killed, which is their own responsibility for retelling the entire country over and over over get, including, you know, about two days after he was almost killed the last time that this is a hit, the risk figure, Donald job. And if he's elected, we will lose democracy and freedom, you know, to be death camps.

And, uh, everything that you care about will be illegal. Your freedoms will be taken away. The ballot will be gone.

Voting will be gone. He will be a dictator. This is, this is what they say. They're arguing this. And I even as I was saying, I just now IT occur to fuck that's a that's crazy, that's a crazy thing to be saying.

But it's not just some random person on twitter, right like this is these are the mainstream talking points coming from the dnc, which is then filter to the press. They've all participated. We've seen the covers maga pull of the famous hit or one um that is that where the reuters is coming from?

Now I don't even think that is necessarily I don't I don't believe that they are responsible for the attempt to discussing ation of trump. I think the crazy person is pretty much responsible and maybe anybody else who he worked with, but certainly the person is not responsible as trump might take. What do you guys think?

I think if you're an institution like the dnc or even at the secret service, who wants to prevent another trump p assassination attempt, the comes around all this has been super, super strange. Like I think the first thing that you would do is put out you know sort of communication and mammals to the media and um like we've seen with school shootings, right like don't mention the name in the shooter um to to maybe say like a trump is to blame for like maybe maybe we shouldn't be saying trump is to blame for the second assassination attempt.

I think it's also weird, like I noticed in the video of the ascertaining the shooter, he had a shirt up uh on the back of his head that you couldn't see his face right and presumable this is a guy that just try to kill trump. And I can't imagine that they, that they just let him do that right, because he has to, like, put his hands around his pockets, put him up, put his arms above his head and do that motion in any other criminal who just tried to kill somebody would probably that would get them shot. My points to say this like that sounds IT seems like they instructed him to cover his face and to do that whole thing.

Um and again, I think if you're trying to prevent assassin attempts on a current president, the the whole comes around, this whole thing would look a little bit would not look like what we're seeing like we have no information on the shooter. We have no information about what the secret service and other relevant authorities are doing to prevent another shooter. And I would I would think that you would put that out, or some amount of that out to deter other shooters to be like, look like we have got this thing, look down.

We're doing all these things, plus a bunch of other things that we're gonna tell you to prevent you. And if you do this again, you're going to be a you're screwed, right? Like there's no way there's no chance you you get past us on this one. And um it's like the what we're seeing is the opposite, and that's really puzzling. I think also we should just have a sad protect up.

I think that is don't know what I think. I think there are little overwhelms what we know. We know about these two, you know, we don't know is how many attempts there are actually bad, you know how many times have been foiled. I've been thinking a bit about that this week.

You know, they don't want to be announcing this stuff because as we saw with this last attempt, what came out immediately was were able to stop him because you have a secret service agents playing around ahead of trump, one whole ahead of trump on the golf course. And that's probably a security measure that's been in place for, I don't know, decades. I am imagining for every president that plays golf.

And now is no longer can be, they have to change the entire strategy around because we all know it's public now and there there has to be something else. So they want to be quiet about even their winds. And .

this is a big.

I mean, I I don't know how you, I don't two two attempts this public size me, this man, people want this man to die and and IT makes me nervous for his life. Like really nervous, I think.

to just go back to the media line that he is responsible. For his own as vaccination attempt IT doesn't actually add up because we should be seeing as destination attempts on commonly too right? Because commoner would ugly be the target of of people that he's new sort of the hyper violent, right? So that line doesn't make any sense of all anyways. You know.

they want us to believe that he is excited people to violence against the democrats. And that has somehow activated random crazy people.

no, no.

no real cause conceivable politic ideology to go after him. I again, I don't really believe that I I think we should not be crazy in our discourse. We should not be escalating things to the point of this repeated IT wasn't just an option command.

I don't, but I always see more forgiving and of of an off whatever you're a debate, you're to comment, you're on the talk show for a minute and you say, like this man is hitler or I mean stupid, but like you say that you say he's a, he's a threat to democracy, democratic l whatever you said that wants, that's how what happened. This is their campaign. This is like their talking points that go around like a memo around washington and everybody.

This, yeah again and again and again again. This is their strategy. This is the main part of their campaign, is to say the world will end, as you know, IT, if this man is in office now, either you believe that and you try to do something to stop IT or or you don't in whatever um even still I don't know, I don't I don't blame that. I think probably what's happening is like doll shop is unique ly famous and h he's just this magnet for this kind of crazy person.

Especially after the first attempt um I kind of hoped that because the first attempt ended in his heroism is what IT looked like when he stood up and was fearless and brave and he had the blood on him but he was fine and the other person who tried to kill him was just more defined like a personal, ugly and sad and said looking person who ve got the shit just blown out of him up there on the roof. You hope that that's enough psychologically to war off people like him certainly hope that. And what we know now is that just isn't especially now second guy, nothing happened to him.

He just got a ton of attention. Um I think that trump is just a magnet now and they have I know they are nervous about IT. I know that, but was you there were a lot of bad comments coming out of this, or a lack of common Hillary clifton said nothing, but monday morning SHE did talk about the cats in the haien cats.

He went on on about this in j events in this information and in fact SHE spread s of disinformation herself at that point SHE said the j events um had lied about, IT said admit that he had lighted about its natural but invoked multiple times by the time I SHE had amplified IT um the biden was pretty consisted in this messaging from the beginning and um I have to believe that there's someone on that side of things that is nervous for themselves at this point as well. You know IT seems like the switch has been flipped to crazy this and now anything is possible. I don't rally.

What did you make this yeah for as much as this has become a debate about discourse and how we immediately pivoted back to the cat means as you perfectly highlights ona, I can get over the fact that this do like thought in ukraine, like we seem to have gloss over that fact in the same way that we just glossed over the fact that the first guy had no social media presence, which is also weird.

Like, did ukraine have the sky on their radar? Was he connected in anyway? I know that sort of gets in the conspiracy territory, but like the point is there's a lot that needs to be unpacked here, which makes that even more depressing that the media has glossed over all of IT and immediately gone back to cats.

The media I haven't done of digg into this, but the first one I noticed was samar d quoted him previously the the attempted assessing and the new york times had as well, which I learned from the new york times.

The new york times acknowledged I forget which piece of reporting IT was the day had previously covered him on the topic of getting, I think he wanted to like, recruit afghan fighters to fight in ukraine and um they said we have interviewed this guy and they said that they are rider at the time felt that he was they used some they use some of phrases ing to say that the writer felt that he was out of his depth that might have just been out of his depth. Um I didn't read the original reporting. Someone actually sure what the original characteristic was.

They were this was not a random person who he didn't know about. This was a person online saying exact, would you believe he was very like, as you said, obsess with ukraine. In fact, he was there.

Now we have stories coming out of like, oh, all the ukrainean soldiers didn't like emini said he was crazy. It's like, of course you're going to say that, uh, I did also notice that this one was a really weird man going through is his twitter was weird, his twitter red like a bot. If I had not known that he was a real person, I would have assumed IT was a bot.

If I look at the profile, he was just copy, almost copy, paced a lot of the same, very, very similar verbiage. Caps in the same, caps lock in the same place for certain words and things, mostly talking about ukraine. There are other things, again, like the democracy and ballet, not, but like to me, IT IT felt like, IT felt like I don't like like a chinese run bar or something. And what was, I think maybe especially where I think was a one of the first two tweets he had added or like mentioned, the ukrainian government, I believe, and they had removed themselves from the tag.

And I don't know.

i've never removed anybody from attack. And by the way, I should say that I saw this, I saw, I saw this profile within two minutes of of the the news broke about his name. He was, I think that he was fox news that broke, that broke the news of his name.

And I immediately what to see if he had a social media presence. And he he did. And at that point, his top tweet, he had a less than two or twitter followers at that point when I saw IT and he had his top tweet, was like a couple of likes or something.

So I know that I was early. I know that I was early to finding this. And IT has already been untag, which says to me either they untied at the time or they on they were right there with me or or something they didn't want to heat.

Just the whole thing is weird. They are angry. The whole thing is fucking bizarre. We don't know anything about IT, and IT seems like the kind of thing that we should be talking about, like twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, until we figure out what the how happened there. I mean, it's just like we just lost right over IT.

Yeah there are so many details impact that we are completely ignoring in favor of what is the accuracy of this? A I cat name directed to the town in spring, the ohio, like on on the scale of which things are important. That seems far less to me than a guy who fought ukraine may have had connections to ukraine. What connections did you have to intelligence here or or anything? Just try to kill the president that way more important to me than a cat.

Mean, I guess also I I wonder just what IT takes to go and fight in ukraine. I I know that antony gc Martina is he is flew there when the war first broke out um and and made friends and export know he was writing but I because I guess my my first thing is like what can you just can anyone just go to ukraine and fight? And like probably you could probably like they would just take anybody to help fight at this point. Um so may be that's what what had happened is is just some crazy guy that went there and then somehow somehow you get the ear of the york times, which is crazy like has a guy like that at the year of .

the new york like what what .

did the new york times writer see in that profile of almost no one following IT and IT looks like a bot and they said, you're my you're my guy like you are gona tell me about what's going on in ukraine that's as fuck and weird yeah .

like he's not just some random guy there. He was an authority there .

that's yeah like lost brand. Let's see if we can get him back to the chat.

Well, matt, you're on mave got is here for the next office. Hi matt. Brain is internet went out again out there in losada um we are gna.

I mean, this is just the writers saying this asset thing is IT just remains crazy. I think it's gonna crazy forever. The fact that we're not talking about at all crazy. It's no longer headline story. Um we're talking it's been a few days since someone almost took out the president from his the bushes of his sucker and golf course. Uh, for the second time this man almost died and it's just like they don't care all other than to say it's his fault that to me is you know sort of morally bankrupt to the grade.

Didn't even though they were I really was surprised by the way that they hang, especially in york times, that they publish a piece that became i've been watching a lot of twenty four hour news lately so their piece became the center piece on m sbc specifically which brought IT up again and again and again and again this near times peace that um broke down the history of trump silent retort. C about twenty four hours after he almost died, almost was almost killed um that's crazy defective. We don't know anything about them is crazy.

We don't know if he was an inside job. That's crazy. There is evidence that indicates IT may have been I don't I must this isn't a conspiracy severe.

It's just straight up like we have a question asked to how he knew that troubles is going to be playing golf, right? That's a huge question that implies something really frightening about our politics. And we need to know, we need answers.

And it's just shocking me that nobody is demanding those answers. Um no one is doing IT for us were receiving even we aren't there like out there on twitter, like where or all even the right way got that is still care. It's like this just got memory.

That's crazy. You mean you talked about like the move on with the memes, but like i've had actual conversations with people I know my life who are democrats about the sashes attempt and they are the same thing like he had transat because this is gone too far and I am taking fucking crazy pills right out. The guy who was actively being shot at most of times, they almost on a weekly .

basis at this point or because break that down if you are not like there's no way that you believe that it's a problem is like people who like trouble doing IT. You just don't believe that. You don't believe that he is spoken to people in a way that is encourage them to kill him.

He didn't known thinks that. So when you say that, what are you really saying that his retroactive toned down? You're saying that he is saying something that is so bad that IT is driven people to try and kill him, and he should stop doing that. He should stop saying that thing that makes people want to kill him.

And that's why the cat story comes up because they are saying, look at how henss this misinformation is and it's like if you are sharing this information, that is that hainous someone's going to shoot you and you shouldn't be able to complain about IT and it's like, that's crazy. okay? So new york times man who shares cat meme should be shot. That's not not that a that is a that is a no for me it's a dark .

world and um it's a dark world because like again, like I get to see the sort like the effects of like what the sort of Normal democrat audience that gets fed because I see to my grip p text from my family they're talking about the cats. They're saying like they don't care about trumping ons, almost assassinated ve on the cats and it's like you wrote about this up to the first association tempters like if you call someone literally hitler, what the fuck you think is going to happen?

They're onna kill hitler. I got to here. Well, so that piece mask, I want to be careful not to blame them.

But I don't really think that new york is responsible for attempted assinniboin. I think that what that says to me is like. If you're gonna say thoughts and prayers for him and his family, I no longer believe that you believe that.

Is that there? Because if someone try to kill IT would be an actual would be dictator of the united states of america. I mean, you couldn't possibly care about that.

By the way, if you try and take control of the government, you know, it's A A military queue that you attesting. That's treason. The punishment for that is death, like these words have meanings.

And there are crimes that are real crimes that are associated with real punishments. And people just throw this shirt around like it's nothing. Um no, if he is a trader, if you really believe that he's a trader, that's why I take the january six stuff so seriously.

If you really believe that was an attempted coup, then there is a punishment for that and it's not a light slap on the rest and we're going to find you for your stupid real state shit. It's like a trial and then an execution. IT is what happens when you try to do a military queue. And I just that is like this stuff really bothers me, but we should move on to something more fun because we have no answers to any of these questions just yet. We will keep you up to date um as stuff comes through on on the on the attempted assassination and his motives. Um I do want to talk I feel like a part of the problem now because when I really want to talk about this is a bit of client story, a brand and tell us take us into um the Harrying world of amazon H Q and uh these shocking revelation that they are going to be forced holy shit, to go to the office.

Sure the C E O of amazon and Jesse cento mamo to the company announcing that the the expectation after january second twenty twenty five, by the way, which is not in a lot of the news coverage, they are giving them four months or something like that to come back to the office. The expectation will will be that that they have to come into the office five days a week after two thousand twenty five.

Now the previous policy or the policy that still in place until generate second is that um people can take to work from home days a week. Um so he mentioned the preponderance c in this memo. There was never any expectation to work from home days a week so that they're just basically they're going to go back to that.

They determine that productivity is higher at the office. People have more collaboration and just generally Better. He was pretty careful to point out that there would still be a fairly liberal remote policy. Um for example, of like the employee like and i'm going to quote if if you need a dare or two to finish coating in a more isolate environment, that's totally fine and will still be fine. Um but but again, the the expectation is that you know the office workers, I don't this obviously can apply to the warehousing workers because they have they have to be in the warehouse but office workers will need to be in the office five days a week um Kevin a road first in the daily um that some employees took the weapon protest. One of them said, I rather go back to school and work in an office again, which is fair enough whatever somebody said that they're probably onna quite a um and generally like people are upset they actually have to go in and do what their employee is requiring them to do what I find insane but yeah that's IT reminds me I .

know it's you know it's on the tech company. And I think the big thing there is just you're a massive monopoly company and you now have tons of employees all over the place. And there's a matter of a problem there.

You're having a hard time tracking your employees and make sure that they're actually doing stuff for years in tack leading up to cove IT there was so much waste because IT was just you know the golden age there was money from the sky is and nobody really cared um that world is really changed quite a lot and uh I I think it's just like you cope is over. It's time to go back to work and what we're really learning because there were all these experiments at the time. I was I was the question of whether or not people be more productive or something if they were home.

I think small minority people really are, but most people are not. And they have that they wouldn't be doing this unless they had found that they were getting they were getting less than they were already getting out of their employees, which would have been low comparatively. Can paired to other or fortune five hundred companies, all of the tech companies um are just there easier jobs and um and so that's that at the end of the trend. But then what you have is not the of i'm sorry, that's the end of the story but like the trend is a little bit broader this idea, if I think your entitlement to not work at your job um came to a head recently in the story of the new york times union which is another story brand and that I would like you to come of packed .

for us before we think so. This week, some reported that the new york tech world is threatened to strike during election season at the network. So not not the writers, tax support developers, um people who make sure what all is Operating twenty four, seven, two type of people. So we've mean they ve been trying to strike because theyve been in certain negotiations with management for over two years now and they still haven't reached, you know an agreement with them during these two years. At various times, some for reported, they've demanded pretty .

ambitious things.

They've demanded a four four day work week um but increased pay by the way, the average salary of the union member in this union is one hundred and ninety thousand dollars year forty thousand dollars year more on average than a journalist at the new york k times um they've asked for unlimited break time um a ban on centive products in breakroom paid pet beaver ment that's my favorite one. I want to do a lot wash thing saying if you need pet. Dogs, maybe I will take a day off. My dog died, I would be said .

I was press when dar.

when dar? yeah. I mean, dogs are. Yeah, i'm thinking of cats. I guess dogs, maybe you should dogs logit for dogs. Yeah, should get a wake off.

Yeah, cats suck, which is why I had a hard time. Cat story begin was good. You one a one cat, like, come on. It's not that big of a deal.

Just to close this off, a few more of the things that you've wanted over the past two years. They wanted the right they essentially wanted to right to review oppos before they publish.

They wanted to say .

you wister doesn't work. IT doesn't work from what you.

So you have two different kinds of create like you what you have are a handful of very storage standard, crazy new left kind of um entitled braddy sort of things, which is almost everything that you said then you have. If I were a reporter in york times and a king engineer said that he needed to be able to review my pieces, I would, I would lose my mind. I, I would be intend decent with.

I met for them, and I might even usually on their side, like, I am furious and like, how are they now? I guess they can. Maybe they feel like the writers are in their own union, and they have to show some sort of like union solidarity, but that's crazy. How come the writers union hasn't stood up and said maybe they have, as they'd any come to know the readers union .

is read that would look to there's .

some more pots that I want to bring up to non performance based annual bonuses. So you just get a bonus b an air and vives bonus. Uh, Mandatory trigger warnings and company meetings know for the news outlet more money for non White staff .

to attend conferences, which is which legal.

Said they were like, I think this .

is a real you .

they are thinking of so one of my favorite movies growing up as a kid was this movie scout with with, uh, what is face bill mary and um he's so mean to the people who work for him, mean to the point where one of them goes and tries to kill.

And there's just like epic, like shooting seam that maybe can pull up a clip of of just like this is we're getting in the Christmas well so halloween anyway, the eighties sand like these people could never, they could not survive what happened there. And, uh, I don't know. I like I kind of miss IT.

I I think that we need to be a little harder. I don't think it's I think there's gotta happy middle ground between, you know, never take a sick day, which will talk about later, and um a four day work week with an increase in pay and trigger warnings. And they said the canals thing also on board board, I think that those are I think that those are hormone d disrupters. And so we got I think that is like we ve got to get rid of the hormonal disruptions in the, and we have to high protein diet, uh, huge subsidies for going to the gym. May be he spent put IT in there and like, let's boost that tea and that I never wanna hear about trigger warnings again at the new york times, which is supposed to be reporting on world news like you a trigger warning exist so you don't have to be emotionally disturbed by content that is like you know sexual salt content or um genocide or you know violent street crime the things that the new of times exist for the news it's crazy to be like the news disturbs me. Please stop talking about IT what's at the new york um yeah I wish that I could um I can to ask some my times Price about this because there is no way that they they all think this isn't said.

I think our listener should all follow the um advice that brin and gave our readers in the daily this week of stand stand with the times and solidarity and boycott the hard hitting journalism that blames trump er his own assassination .

can find yeah I love this. This union is great. I want to see more from this union. Yes.

thanks. I still that take from mark Anderson and he was the first to be unsupported ironically.

Yeah.

I was all there with Andrea and the guild. Um I think one of the things that really gets me the quiet quitters kind of really frustrate me, especially the ones who use marxist language to like dressed up as some sort of moral like high ground thing because it's like it's a totally deceptive and dishonest thing to do like you are deliberately like I am going to quit, quit.

So that means that you are like you are planning on not doing work and lying every single day. Do a bunch of people about what you're doing. I don't know many people who lie a lot.

I personally like have a hard time lying, like big lies or like hard from. I don't do them because it's just uncomfortable for me. But you have people saying that they are going to lie every single day to their managers, but then making IT some sort of statement about labor.

And carl Marks and like I don't know worker's rights and not really like bothers me is like also said was a story in the new service isna this week about so this lady Tracy I member last name is she's coming out the book called olid rent and SHE witted about IT like she's she's promoting her book right now and for one of her promotions, one of her tweet promoting the book was a picture of her building with the caption my entire building hasn't paid rent for two years and then SHE tweet, another picture of her building is like going to meet about to meet my new new landlord smile, face and it's like you are a predator. Like you you are literally a predator who is deliberately scamming other people. And you're doing IT in a premeditated way.

And I actually feel that way about quite quitters and she's also she's justifying IT with like markus language, which is just like a total show. And I think quiet quitters in people who demand for work weeks for extra pay, like they know what they're doing and especially when they make a hundred ninety thousand dollars a year. And IT is hard for me when I read that stuff.

I'm just like this. These people suck, you know, like they are fundamentally dishonest. And there's there's no dressing up you can do to hide that. I like that.

Yeah, you have people who are committing crime and are dressing up in the language of morality. And we've been seen IT for many, many years. This is a very agreeable example. I get this a lot. And when you go after people like that, you always get the your mansions, who this is a big thing in socialist circles, especially on social media, they really do believe that landlords are evil and that are not paying rent is um nothing is acceptable but there .

is something um and I don't .

believe that I think that it's cope are not really cope but but that's that's how they dressed up for themselves. They're doing crime. And how is that actually illegal that if she's open so open about that, someone should definitely take her accord.

Um well he wrote a book about IT and IT. IT is legal because of ten because of sort of like tenant to protections on steroid in california.

new york where .

you see .

new ork or california. So that's confusing .

SHE started the l SHE cofounded the L A tennis union. But um I believe she's been living in new ork for the past two years but that all that part of its confusing. I also found that so the cast until I go and I was I was about communist st in the forties and fifties and back then they were really, really hard for like just the communist.

No joke compared to the people right now. Um what they would do is they would take jobs and the people in the manager, erik class, like the ones that were speaking about the new york times, this lady who read that book, they would aim to get promotions so that they could give more money to the party who would then return that money, but only a little bit of IT as a worker's wage. So like people in the communist party back then would work, give all their paycheck to the communist party who would then pay them essentially minimum wage, and they would be like a unit in this party. And I think what these other times employees are are doing, the ones in the union who are like pro labor are in fact using their like hundred ninety thousand dollar salary. They're getting their ten solar coffee, stepping up our homeless person who gets the coffee shop and not doing anything that is even remotely marxist actually like I feel like that just this is not serious martis m and is very deceptive.

Well, thank god for that. Leave big parties people a lot you but the other the day it's it's awesome that they suck so hard, mean every way worse if they were talented marxists and then you had deal with, you know, again, what is that barack obama's s former mental blares blowing shit up like, I don't want live this is a much the softer side of marxism is enough for me um we have to quickly talk about the fact that these are not marx's but they are a terrible people uh you have a bunch of terrorists in lebanon who a tuesday, I believe, exploded um sort of small explosions but a lot of them died and the reason that they died was because their beepers which they use because I think they are afraid of being tracked other technology by the israeli um exploded were packed IT seems like with some kind of explosive device was a huge intelligence crew for israel people are going to talking about this maneuver for many years to come because I did not even conclude with that first wave of you know hundreds of hundreds of beepers the next day during a funeral for one of the um beeper boys who got blasted into other space a bunch of rocky hockey is exploded and um a bunch of other shit it's i'm seen other reports now of uh solar panels and things like I don't know what's true.

What's not right now of the fog of war but certainly beepers and Walker talkies both of which are sort of primitive tech that um have been used to uh protect yourself from um espied basically somehow were captured before they were handed out and we work in such a way as the he is really a government could uh pinpoint members of hezbollah kill them uh the reason we don't typically talk too much about um you know the war broader or anything like this. This is interesting to me because what I don't think that are I don't I don't think we to worry about iphone is blowing up maybe famous last words that would really suck um if I that I went out but we do manufactured these devices that we Carry with us everywhere in a country that we understand to be an adversary and it's sort of IT is this really interesting you the reaction to the beeper thing was by vocative along expected tribal bounds um and this is a different kind of tribal. It's not like the standard american tribal where's necessarily left right? It's um do you are you like a ya mos person or are you like an obsessed israel twitter? And so like those people got mad or happy in both of their ways. But there's a broader question here, which is what .

is happening .

with our devices. You know this really opens up a gateway of new ideas and new questions. I don't again, I don't think that we're neurally. We should worry about explosives, but I do wonder about hacking and about what else is in there in terms of hardware. And um you know how well protected are we I don't think about I totally I mean.

the chinese have already shown a tensity for morning despite in americans. I think they've ve been buying up government and or or land that's close to army bases. I think they almost but land around the capital.

And then we're found to be planning to like put communications devices in IT. I I don't have the facts, but there's very loose on the facts there. I supose.

I wouldn't put I definitely won't put a pass them. I mean, we blocked that five g company from doing business, I think in the U S. Um for national security concerns.

So just the technology matter. I mean, they are using peepers from the nineties. I mean, they are it's nice to see uh haswell their vintage, quite trendy with the vintage tech. But I don't know is as the iphone more protected .

probably and i'm sure that apologies are more sophisticate company and there's all sorts of. The way that I think IT probably works is one out of a thousand iphones is cracked open probably and just like routine and and it's cracked open here at home and people look at everything in the day, sort of keep moving on. But also there are plenty of spies um chinese spies throughout the tech industry and sure that inspires at apple.

And so is that a system that could be gamed also? IT seems possible, seems plausibly. And i'm not worried about explosions.

I'm worried about being tracked and um and having my messages captured and things like this and you know your photos and I don't know who even know the thing is like I don't do you don't want to give any information away because you don't know how I can be used against you and um and we don't know how things are going to escalate with china. We don't know it's gona happen in a year or two years or whatever else. All we know is that we're not friends.

And so I don't I don't know that this seems like a problem that they are manufacturing some of our most important technology like that, just like straight. I don't know. I don't I be .

interested to know the economics of what's the actual cost you brought all of apple's iphone production to the united or the the economy that I look like. I don't know, kind.

interesting, bad. I like a ten thousand dollar plus phone.

Maybe let me there a couple thousand already.

So and just the headache of bring and chips over that was a nightmare. So i'm sure this would be a nightmare as well.

Well, we should. I mean, on the context of the bieber boys blowing up all over lebanon, um we should talk about well, we have our Polly read so it's time for our public market segment. Thank you pulling market for giving us uh, what we need to give you all what you want, which is the greatest news in tech.

Um okay, so let's talk about the question of whether or not is rita has got to invade lebanon. So in lebanon, uh in lebanon, lebanon hesba. The radios exploded across the south on wednesday, killing twenty, injuring over four hundred and fifty.

This falls tuesday's explosion of haswell pages, which killed twelve and injured nearly three thousand. While they haven't claimed the attack, IT is widely believe that this was the work of massage. And the I, D F, the ots of israel invading lebanon on by no november, changed dramatically on policy market.

So a week ago, these odds were just ten percent. On the morning of the attack, they jumped from twenty nine percent to forty three percent in the span of an hour. The time is recording these odds and at thirty six percent um I did see that the White house is using very strong language or of condemnin not condemned.

I don't think they actually condemned as strong as you can be without should talking in ali um they considered this equator. I think that the equator action was probably the terrorists setting missiles or rockets into really I like every day like, what are we talking about? Like these are actual terrorists.

IT was a pinpoint attack. IT does concern me. There is a question of terrorism. And obviously the im ost, people like, this is terrorist, israel's terrorist. This is a terrorist act.

What is? What is that if you're at war, is IT terrorism? Like what is that? What that makes IT?

I feel like there are these people. They're firing rockets at you. That's an active war. You're now fighting back. I don't know if you are sort of mass murdering civilians that feels terris tic to me in nature, but this is war, right? It's like, I don't understand that .

the argument is that they in public places when to happen, right? So like explosions will hit. Kids are families that are nearby, right? But if I could your fire in a rocket, you're kind of the same results. So I don't really know how you avoid that one in a war.

I mean, this is the thing is like people, do people not think that kids died in wolf war? I like, what do we think that that we don't think that american soldiers have killed kids in war that no one would say is a crime? So let's ignore vietnam or even career or something.

Let's just go to world war to you don't think we kill LED any german kids when we were, when the Alice were fire bombing, dressed in like no children killed in in the making of this war that's war like this is why we don't want war like this is why it's not. It's like it's not. War is not this magical thing you press a button and there's a way to do IT where only adult men die, which by the way, also sucks speaking as an adult man, like, what the fuck?

It's crazy other is like, well, men are expendable. Maybe I understand IT, but it's like it's not good when anybody when anybody dies. But the the idea that like kids don't die, it's what you would say if you were in american and you've never actually had to face war before, then god in your life you would say something this stupid um but now I IT doesn't strike me as terrorism.

I don't want to get caught in like the the tangled web of israel power sine stuff. It's like this fuck in ancient blood viewers what IT feels like to me and I just want us to not have really much to do with IT. A O C did sort of go off about IT and um and I think that I was on grounds here is a terrorism. It's open a new door. This sort of tactic can be used against us now um if wherever .

a formal war .

will we admit formal war with a country for a very long time, I think IT might have been. I think worlds war two may have been the last formal where there was a formal declaration of war. Let's look this up.

Actually, mat looked up messy. Last U. S. Formal declaration of war. Yeah, I was right. World war two was the the states last four.

Al, declaration of war was june fifteen thousand forty two against romany bulgaria and hungry during world toward two to get to a point where we're really at war um and something like this could could be done against us. There are such bigger problems in the world, a nuclear oppose nuclear world where we're a superpower. No one is declaring war against us.

Must there are also a superpower. Um it's like exploding deeper will be one thing of many things will be worry about. I think the biggest one will probably be drone warfare. I if that happened right now, that's a thing that I would be worry about .

um yeah so maybe .

his real doesn't be eleven on. I would if I was real, but i'm not as real. I am an american and I don't want to talk about this anymore. Thank you about money. Now we going to get into we're rather get into the ideal segment um rather you want to break down as where we are there.

Sure thing. So to recap for our dear para idle viewers that i'm not sure if you want to play like some sentimental music, there are anything we can saw. First four contestants break down a topic on a nuclear power plant demolition in germany. Martin raley was our guest judge and voters seemed to like a cardiff by a White margin.

In the comments there week, two contestants discuss the guardian calling for taxi eos, calling to be arrested um where voters seem to like both Molly and Patrick that week, week three saw eat being our guest while contestants discussed same system moving to ban the sales in and in that week Chris, andy seem to be our top vote guitars there. And last last week four contestants talked about the ongoing pandemic of lonely ess, where returns are still coming in. But Olivia seem to be getting the most love in our comments so far.

Well, if you guys don't agree with any of that, you Better sound off in the comments as soon as you can, because next week we begin the quarter finals and will kind of announced the rules and everything. Then for now, we got one final round of of rn wonders must get IT to IT.

Welcome back to the greatest show on earth or certainly on youtube. It's piot at all as the last week of the first round. Next week begins the quarter finals.

You guys just got the updates on who is in the leave, what we have three final contestants lined up ready to deliver takes. And I think we're just I mean, we're going to get right into IT. You guys know the rules.

Everyone gets an introduction and take um in between that whatever happens happens, you guys can jump in, you can jump out with that. People just leave before when their technology fails. That would be um I wouldn't want you to do that.

That would be interesting I guess. Um that's IT. I mean, what is onna start the topic today is already is going to tip the whole thing but sort of rough the rough topic is just the question of um sick days. Are they child dish? You just never be taking them rally break IT down, sure thing.

So in a recent video seemingly recorded from his house and not an office, the daily wires, matt wash claimed that adults shouldn't be taking sick days at the office. Taking a sick day as an adult should be pretty embarrassing for you. He stated there, for kids in school who are trying to stay home so they don't have to take a test that day.

uh, you shouldn't be using six days. okay? I ve used sick days maybe twice and seven years. And in both those cases, because I lost my voice and I couldn't speak, you know, you can't blame for that is impossible to do a podcast when you can speak, I guess.

So, so, so there we have IT or I mean what is our sick days just a product of our infantilized uh lib out society. Are we just overly externalize over here taking six days we have the flu or something? Um you know maybe matt has a point. Uh Kevin, I must start with you, my friend um where you from where you calling in, where you calling in from and and I mean, what do you think about the question at hand?

Hey, i'm Kevin a originally from texas but calling in from new york city um I think uh you know that matt works in the media business. He's in the business of getting clicks. I think he would place this character of a crime geni old guy like a red forman seven show type guy with the final shirt in a bad attitude so I think like he's sort of playing into that a little bit.

I don't know if this is actually what he thinks about six days. Um look, I think we should be working hard. I think if you're healthy enough to go into work, you should do.

I think it's embarrassing to take a sick day, not really just get your stuff done on time if you can don't leave work on to mates if you can avoid IT. But I think he's probably leaning into A A maid for twitter moment a little bit, which which seems to work since we're here talking about IT. Oh yes, anything because I declare i'm .

clicking i'm clicking IT some multiple times. I'm clicking IT right now.

Um so he got a movie coming out was that he's german IT up because he's got a movie coming out or three days ago, he got a movie come out.

right? He's GTA get us, however he can, a miles weary from. And what are you making the six days.

uh, in our outside and nash field to call cortisol tenney? Uh, I guess the steel minute like nobody y's ever going to be great if they're taken sick days like bill gates famously didn't work for I didn't take a day off like ten years and then with Michael Jordan Collins sick to the flu game. But matt does kind of power himself as some tough guy when he's an actor, an author who argues with old gender studies professors and reach children's books.

So that tell thing thing about .

them yeah that's tell the thing about him and said he doesn't consider to work but .

of course I dismissed like Riley said but but where is your work? I mean, where are you recording from? Sir IT seems like your bedroom.

So what do you mean you're not calling in sick? I don't really understand that. I just like I have some colleagues who will come in to the office sick.

They'll be cuffing sneezing. Oh, sorry, have a little cold. I don't want to hear that. I am thinking like i'm I hear that i'm i'm angry now i'm leaving the room.

I'm making a i'm like i'm going to be a jerk about IT, but I am definitely like why did you come? I need to go protect myself from this. And I think it's I guess I was taking in the whole time I felt I wonder if cove IT had not happened. If that would be a perspective we would still be had I I don't know that I I don't know that I think would have said IT.

I like something happened with covered where we over indexed on the ridiculous nature of IT all and we went from like, no, the mass don't work to like diseases don't exist and dad, i'm not entirely on board with I want to get sick IT takes you out of out for for weeks just I don't know just it's just kind of stupid but as you were saying, cabin it's like his character and make it's like a that that entire that entire architect I just i'm kind of over IT i'm i'm exhausted by IT it's no longer the funny wow. What did he just say that IT was five years ago when he was owning the blue heart? Whatever kindergarten teacher um the culture has evolved and um and now it's like scraping scraping the bottom of the barrel. We're we're down to like sick days like are you a real man or do you take sick days? And jack, have you ever taken a sick day?

Yes, I have. So i'm jack from georgia, live in new york currently calling in from L A. I think you raisa, good point on the cover thing.

So hypothetical question, who would you rather have your boss, that walsh, who is the sick day denier, or Taylor lun, who is still living in twenty twenty over and twenty twenty four? It's like the new political spect thing, like every days, a sick day or a sick days of the losers. Where are you put yourself in that .

write the two genders yeah 那 我们 there there's really， I mean, what a world we have descended if we have descended to that we have to choose between one of these two um I don't know, I think I think I think i've done if my choice were were no sick days ever or every days of sick day, I think I would have .

to go no sick days just yeah I .

think society would collapse. I think society which just end if if IT was if we all like to like you massed up for.

is he still massed up?

I was wondering this the other day at this point, at this point, if you're still massed up, I think I have nothing but respect. I think it's like a commitment to the bid is so I ve never really seen any kind of commitment like that before in my life and go off. But no, I don't want to live in that world. Well, yeah, good.

Another take is that you said committing to the bit mat wash has six kids up on wikipedia earlier to do my due diligence. So a conspiracy theory of mine is that he actually himself probably does believe in sickness but he's gasoline as kids and the thinking they should not take sick k days because he doesn't want his like six if you have six kids, one of them will probably be sick every single day so grabbed you just been telling his kids like, no, you have to go to school. Man up so he does not have to deal with the so he putting that twitter is just like, no daddy I actually think sick days are bad because it's just like trying to keep his own sick kids away from him. There are no spending on that .

machine was in my mentioned and he was like, this guy has six kids and I loved that for him. But he is absolutely the plague vector in the office like kids are. They bring disease wherever they go.

And if this is a man that doesn't believe in sort of staying up, but of course he does, this is the broader thing, right? It's like these characters that we're playing online um are just, I don't know, they're increasingly a little bit foolish what miles he said, a movie coming out. What is IT again I I saw that there was one I saw doing the thing with the author of the White fragility ity book, Robin, the Angela he got her to pay is is this money yeah doing .

the less funny version in a social beran coin, like dressing up a lob up guy, present these liberal people, sort of, like, planned into their character. I was inking. It's interesting that far right point of view sort of circling back like the anti human vibe of the anti left. It's like you're either you gotto go to work every day your wage but um no sick is or you live in your pot and you eat books. So it's sort of showing over to the far right an entire human bub yeah .

humans I agree. I think I mean because you see a lot of the on the anti bug on the bug verse, anti bug dimension, there's um there's like the senior balls, a dowar sunscreen e red meat um like swim naked kind of thing. And that to me is compelling that unlike well, it's there's something charismatic about that from .

a health influencer.

I don't think that something is balls is my personal read of the situation, but I think that what he brings is it's a different kind of concern like all the sundar ball stuff. Is this news sort of initial right wing thing? It's like this, throw back to like the ancient greeks and the ancient romans.

There's like something sort of paging about IT. There's something sort of an antiChristian about IT and mat. While she's like he's just he's like what a conservative was when I was growing up um and body wear skinny jeans and i'm going to go hips .

there was I was like .

early to sort of making fun of crazy leftists on the daily wired dot com. And I just I find IT i'm not interested in going back, you know I mean, I want something new. I want fresh material. This is why improve on your balls i've not recommending IT um and I have yet to try IT myself uh but I am curious about IT and I I just think that's the future I hope the .

right wing IT here .

to that path rather than wavering back to the sort of like sick days or are for women I posting is just silly like nobody believes that. Nobody believes you. I do want to see the interview with Robin low, however. Because I hate her more, and I don't have anyone. Have you guys been watching the trailers at all?

Or it's pretty funny. He yeah, he dressed up as mad A D, E, I consultant and goes into all of these sort of entire racist workshops like I think you mention. He eventually got Robin d.

Angelo to pay reparations to his assistant. SHE has now stated that that's not how reparations work, but he did make the payment so I don't know um it's it's funny. I know I think that the first one he did, what is a woman, I think was the name of the first movie, sort of work into the whole gender ideology stuff.

You would be interesting to see him take sort of the craziness of the D, E, S. Stuff to the masses and see how they respond. I think like a lot of us who are very online and kind of have given into the underpinnings of all of this stuff and know how crazy is, I don't think most people really kind of know what's going on behind closed doors. So I do think he's may be doing a valuable service to to showing some some sunlight on on all of that crazy ess and see see how the mass is react.

I was I had was doing an interview today today um with a journalist who's working on a piece empire wires coin to he listens to so hi ah it's we're not sure yet how this piece is going to turn out, but I decided to to take a risk and we asked me a pretty a good question this last time which was did I how did I see prior writes being impacted by the vive shift in terms of things that we cover? And I don't feel like at all because we didn't create identity based on walk.

Wk amo, in fact, is something that we made fun of a lot here. But I do think that and I mentioned the daily wire, I said I think that they are going to have a hard time with IT because a lot of what they've done over the last five years is just say nobody else was to say on a very narrow social dimension um in now no ones no IT has a hard time saying stuff like that and so that is why you know what is going viral right now with him. An interview with a woman who was relevant four years ago in two and twenty was the height of her relevance and yet, funny.

I still not like her and i'm I love to see her get roasted like that. But like why did I I mean, i'm not I wasn't waiting for for the latest rob in the angle take down like I feel like she's been taken down culture really. She's not what he wants.

What I mean is rich's hell so I mean no one is really taking her down in the way he deserves to be taken down for the griff. Um but it's like that's not really that relevant anymore. Ah she's not or not. We don't have legalized race riots at the moment um and we don't have her on T V defending them. So IT just seems like there I think they're reach I think they're trying to figure out what they are now in this world that is much more willing to criticize the craziest excesses of the far left.

I think. So his his twitter handle is still that walls blog. He was like one of the original kind of right wing blogger types. I think in some ways he stuck in that like early two thousands world where like that plays. And I also like entrepreneurs said, our our business business model is facebook ads. I think they're very much like boomer focused and this still plays to bombers honestly uh there like you know five years maybe more behind uh as online Young folks so I think there is an audience for but yeah I do think it's getting tired .

the face because how they built the daily pretty the whole story pretty interesting. And they were doing IT. I mean, they started before everybody really, and they were brand. You would have more inside to this. But my read of IT is that they were doing and of how when facebook traffic was free and they got very big, very fast by putting money and thought into this huge opportunity that a lot of other people were slower to hit um because it's an older crowd.

They were none only were they early to this, they were uniquely well position to take advantage of um and not an insidious way, just like in a business way to take the advantage of the opportunity in a way that like that was always going to be a tougher box, was gonna a tougher sell on facebook really? I mean, I like my parents, like that was never going to happen um and so they blew up. But now facebook traffic is not free and lovers are getting older. And are they even are even they all on facebook still like, I mean, are people use IT? I went on facebook the other day and I did see some people were still using IT um but I I just hadn't been on facebook and so long and I don't only think like my mother on facebook SHE used instagram SHE says me video about SHE loves SHE my mom also watches IT what's her mom SHE loves plants and SHE sends me about um like being a plant person SHE sometimes I discovered the plant person alala origin C I don't know trap um but shit down on facebook right you know posting the uh like my native american spirit guide means or whatever is over there so yeah what is the next step for the daily wire?

IT is so washed up now like that really started that guys like twenty fifteen when those bench pero computations were pop enough so everybody thinks it's point at this point except for the old heads on facebook .

reposed jesus uh A I pictures like he's come back who they clip her wings for the the problem stuff and it's just been a rough road for the daily wire, right guys last thoughts. Anything closing your Marks?

Yeah it's kind of like that. The whole thing is like the reverse. C, N N from, like twenty fifteen or whatever, right? Like back in the day, C N, an entire thing was I trumped the stump shit.

We're going to talk about IT whatever we have to like, talk down on. And then he lost the last election, and all of us of their views tanks because their whole thing was just rage beating everything they didn't like about him. And when he wasn't in the picture, then when he wasn't twitter, he wasn't even like posting that much.

So then they had any content daily. I was trying to own the limbs, and they did that the lives of that. But so when you can do that, you get stuck in this thing where you haven't start a war at sick days because is nothing. Well.

I think he's, I think he's right, actually.

Go off should be should .

you be slightly embarrass, take a six day like so that you don't take more sick and you actually need to take i'm embarras take a sick day. I'm not sure that you should be super like when you're super sick. Obviously should take a sick day, but you should think twice before you take a sick day.

Like if you have a sore throat, a little bit sore to like can scratchy should you really take a sad day like you probably okay, especially if you're working from home. I think there's some truth to what what my walls are saying. My well.

I think there's some truth to the idea as we were discussing earlier, there is some truth to the idea that the average american worker is today is soft and american in general is soft and um and that's annoying in fun to make fun of. And maybe he was touching on that. But I mean, again, to go back to the original point, it's maybe just hard to hear that from someone. Who is that specific message of like you should never be out you you should never be taken off from someone who's who's recording from um from their house which I mean i'm doing myself but i'm also process take a sick day.

take IT I am going to hear the amazon worker is complaining about going back to work as well as so it's no tolerance .
