Hey everybody, thanks for tuning in to ADHP with Doug and Todd. I'm Doug.
1:27
That's Todd. How you doing Todd? I'm doing good. Doing good. Just been uh just been dinking on on the computer,
1:34
chatting up with people on Messenger and and earlier I was playing around on Suno, so I made a bunch of new songs.
1:42
Oh, nice. Um did you do anything for the fourth or were you just or were you in mourning
1:47
like a bunch of the rest of us? I was um I was watching Indiana Jones movies.
1:52
Okay, that's not a bad way to spend the time. Um because I wanted to see somebody kicking Nazi ass. So, you know, that's
1:58
why I was watching it. There you go. I like it. And uh we uh we had some thoughts on doing we
2:05
had some different options on Fourth of July stuff, but we ended up just kind of staying home doing a low-key thing. in
2:11
it. Seemed like our neighbors all kind of had a similar idea because it was just a it ended up being kind of a a
2:17
little uh neighborhood fireworks show which was kind of fun. We we had the we had the artillery
2:24
happening here in in my neighborhood. So, uh yeah, that was that was exciting
2:30
for the animals, I'm sure. Yeah, our uh we definitely gave extra
2:35
treats to our cats and uh treated them to a new uh we got a new cat toy uh cat
2:40
uh what do you want to call it? Like a uh that's a a tent tunnel system. Oh, okay.
2:46
So, it's indooroutdoor. So, uh over the weekend we we have a little above ground
2:51
pool set up. So, we uh splashed around in the pool and then we have uh our cats
2:57
are indoor cats, so we we uh we put one end of it inside the house and then they
3:03
kind of closed the window up around it. Yeah. And then uh stuck out the tunnels and
3:09
the other play areas into the yard and so the cats could come out and hang out in the backyard with us. It was kind of
3:14
fun. Nice. Yeah. No. Uh yeah, it was it was lots of
3:20
artillery going off and a few like sparkler type things and
3:26
that Oh, I'm getting messages from people. I'm a closed messenger on my computer.
3:33
Oh, not from viewers, just from random. No, just like I sent links out to people. Hey, I'm going live. And they're
3:39
like, oh, I'll I'll check it out here in a little bit, you know. All right, cool. Fair enough. Uh, do you have the phone
3:44
number up? Just curious. I do. Do I hold on
3:51
the phone? This isn't, you know, we're not we're not doing a live caller focused show like we did last week, but we would
3:56
absolutely take any calls if somebody wants to call us and I got it working, so it actually will ring through. Now, I didn't I
4:04
didn't have it enabled to call in uh to my phone. It was uh it wasn't it wasn't
4:09
on do not disturb, but it wasn't it wasn't set to actually allow calls to come in. So, I got that.
4:14
But the phone number if people want to give a call call in or send a text you can uh 4252437571.
4:27
There you go. So yeah, we'll uh we're actually going to have some topics this week. Uh but it's going to still be more
4:32
of a loose a loosey goosey format. Um but uh
4:39
there has been some issu there's been some some big issues in the news recently. I don't know if you've heard if you paid attention, Todd.
4:45
A little bit. I try. I I'm I'm trying, but at the same time, I'm like,
4:51
if you if you had to pick a top political story this week, what what would you think of this? I mean, you know, the whole like uh the
4:58
bill uh whatever passing through to the president for getting rid of uh uh uh
5:07
Medicare and Medicaid. So, yeah. So, um, so what that got me, so if
5:13
if anybody's listening to this podcast, I imagine they're somewhat up, um, if
5:18
you're listening for the political part of this podcast anyways, you're probably up on what's going on with Trump's bill.
5:24
Um, you know, it's been passed. It's going to go into effect. It it has huge cuts to Medicaid. It uh basically means
5:31
the end of student lunch and student uh a lot of student activities in rural
5:39
areas that didn't already have good strong funding too.
5:44
Yeah, it's it's I'm you know my kids get my kids are both special needs classes
5:50
and they get free breakfasts and free lunch. Um they've had that for the last couple years. Um, I don't know if
5:57
because we're in Washington state thankfully, you know, maybe that's still going to survive based on state based on state programs,
6:04
but you know, we always have the people on the right trying to fight new taxes on our side. So, who knows if we're
6:11
going to be able to fund that kind of stuff going forward. Um, you know, the only the only, you know, hope right now
6:17
is that things aren't going to go to effect right away. Most of the stuff is set to most of the cuts are set to hit
6:25
uh you know after the midterms start hitting in 2020 in late 26 and 27. Um
6:34
so maybe by the time we reverse if we can reverse the Congress in 2026 then
6:40
maybe we have a chance to do something about this before right
6:45
the worst effects go into place. So, the the best thing to do right now is to
6:52
find out who's running for primary in your local elections. Who are you going
6:57
to vote for? Uh, which side are you going to vote in the primary on? Uh, you
7:03
may find in your area you want to register as a Republican to champion a certain Republican that is a non-MAGA,
7:10
non-Trump type of Republican. if you live in a place where going to win,
7:16
you know, there's there's if there's anybody in a primary, you know,
7:21
somebody's probably going to try and stand out by being non-Trump. Um, and this is again, this is for people that
7:27
live in a red district where the Democrat's not going to win anyways. If the Democrat, if you live in a blue
7:32
district, go in and go find your most progressive candidate and support them, like what we saw with with Mum Donnie in
7:38
New York. Yeah. um go, you know, I know we have in Michigan there's a very progressive Senate candidate running in
7:46
the primary hoping to upset the incumbent and or maybe even running for an open seat actually after retirement.
7:52
Um he's actually running for an open seat, so he stands a decent chance. Um other than he's, you know, the progressive candidate and gets labeled a
8:00
socialist and all that. No. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Um but that's, you know, I'm
8:06
talking here. This is kind of leading into the subject that I want to talk about is everything I think about when it comes to this bill because the other
8:12
thing that this bill does is it funds ICE to insane degrees. Uh if if I'm if I'm
8:19
thinking of it offhand, it's their budget was like 17 billion and it's going up to like 68 billion or something
8:25
like that. Some insane number either way. And it's like why? How how are they going to
8:31
spend that money if in in in immigration and customs enforcement if it's not to
8:37
build camps and go mass incarcerate people?
8:43
Yeah. Like what else would they be spending that money for? And so we are literally like we we
8:49
already have the first we already have the first thoughts of a of a concentration camp in America where we
8:56
have the the alligator Alcatraz. Did you hear about this? Yeah, I've heard it called al alligator
9:03
alawitch as well. Yes. Yes. That's what I think I've seen
9:09
that on uh Blue Sky and Substack. By the way, since I've been perusing
9:14
Substack more often, I've found that it's just Twitter. Like, I didn't realize it was just Twitter with the
9:20
option to like do your own long blog post on the side. Okay. Like the if you just do the Substack
9:26
stream, it's just classic Twitter. Okay. Which, you know, or Blue Sky. Yeah. Yeah.
9:34
But yeah, I'll uh I got a story here. Let's see which what pick your fancy here. Do you want the Guardian from
9:41
Europe or England? Uh CBS News? Do you want Scripts News? Do you want the
9:46
Feminist Majority Foundation? Or do you want something called Wes? Uh
9:54
it's all the same story. Yeah. So, let's do it. Pick one. Just pick. Which one do you like best?
9:59
It don't matter to me. All right. We're going Feminist Majority Foundation. Okay.
10:06
So alligator Alcatraz raises legal and environmental concerns and a new
10:11
development in the current administration's federal immigration immigration enforcement. A new detention facility has been constructed in
10:18
Florida's swampy everglades nicknamed Alligator Alcatraz by Florida Attorney General James Um, the facility has been
10:26
established at a decommissioned airport spanning 39 square miles of the Florida
10:31
Everglades. Detainees will be surveyed by more than 200 security cameras and 400 personnel while enclosed with 28,000
10:39
plus feet of barbed wire. Sounds like a Call of Duty map. Uh it is estimated
10:45
that the detention center will hold a capacity of 5,000 beds by early July and
10:51
will cost 450 million annually. Like this is what they're spending money
10:56
on. Like do you understand what they could do like with for $450 million?
11:02
could keep Medicare. Yeah, they could keep Medicaid. They could they could fund everyone's lunch.
11:16
So, they've been selling merchandise reference referencing Alexander Alcatraz. Yeah. On websites and commercial platforms.
11:23
Yeah. It's just all God, it's all got to be a marketing thing. This really is idio
11:28
one giant grip. Uh grip. It's got what plants crave. Yeah. Oh god. Yes. And of course, you
11:35
know, uh Gatorade is from Florida, so Oh, yeah. Naturally, we called it Gatorade. And then, of course, uh
11:42
indigenous groups have expressed concerns since alligator Alcatraz has been built on sacred land. You know, if
11:48
they can't get this wrong enough, they get it wrong in every direction, right? Uh Talbert Cypress, chairman of
11:54
the Muscoi Business Council, told ABC News that the facility is surrounded by the Big Cypress, where his tribe has
12:00
lived for centuries. Not only that, but some tribal villages are located a mere 900 ft from the facility's entrance. He
12:06
pointed to a lack of environmental studies about the detention cent's impact on the local ecosystem, as well
12:11
as fearing for traditional native camp safety as traffic could flights increase through the area. Yeah, that's another
12:16
thing is this project got the treatment of like what you would do for like a necessary new dam or something to power
12:23
an entire region where they're just like we're going to we're going to wave away the environmental impact study so that
12:29
because this is an emergency situation and and this just feeds into
12:35
what what I was what I was getting at for this
12:40
this bill. All it makes me think about is when you have a capitalist society, a
12:47
capitalist society that's successful and generates wealth, you are either going to have to have a welfare state or a
12:54
police state. Like you have to have no opt the only other third option is just be fine with rebellion, right? like just
13:02
just let just let people openly rebel where they choose to and and don't fight
13:08
it and hope it hope it doesn't catch fire and turn the whole place over. Um, you know, that's
13:14
but that's basically it. If you're going to allow wealth disparity to happen, um, if you're going to stratify your
13:20
society, you either need to be a police state or a welfare state. And we have had a welfare state in America since the
13:27
New Deal. uh it created the middle class as we've known it. Um
13:33
and it mostly did that through a high progressive income tax that lasted through uh you know up to into Nixon and
13:40
then was kind of you know it was cut down by Kennedy still kept it at like 73%. Um and actually increased revenue
13:48
because it brought a bunch of money back into the system that was trying to avoid it. Um Got you. But then it kept going all the
13:54
way down to like where it's at like 32 or 28 now. And and this gets into the
14:01
whole Thomas [ __ ] uh thing that I've talked about in past episodes where again if you're if you're newer to the
14:07
podcast, if this is the first episode you're listening to, if this is the if you're listening to us live and this is the first time you've heard of us, uh
14:12
Thomas [ __ ] Pi Kty, uh he's a French economist. He wrote the
14:18
book Capital in the 20th Century or Capital in the 21st Century. um but it's mostly about the 20th century and it
14:26
demonstrates how there was a period in American history or in western economies
14:32
um in the because he also included France uh in this um but there was a period of time where upward mobility was
14:39
in fact a reasonable expectation of hard work um and in America
14:45
and that was the time when the tax rates were the highest um and as tax rates
14:50
have come down income gaps have have risen and most
14:57
people are not moving upward. There's no longer as much if any upward mobility.
15:03
It's it's more like a lottery ticket if you do move upward. Um most people are
15:08
just an echo of their parents success right now. Um or a lack thereof. Um,
15:16
so what we end up with is we either need more welfare like a Bernie a Bernie uh
15:23
style de democratic socialism or like Zoron Mumdani in New York.
15:29
We need that kind of stuff. or we have to be a police state where we're just going to say we're fine with having a
15:34
poor underclass and we're just going to police them so that they they can't rob us or threaten us or make us feel
15:41
uncomfortable and we'll just we'll just hammer them down and and deport those that we can. And this is this could
15:48
because this is definitely a move towards the police state. This is cutting welfare programs while
15:54
increasing the ICE which is serving as the administration's gestapo like just
16:00
basically secret police that are disappearing people that are undesirable. So,
16:05
right. And and you know their their mandate is immigration and customs enforcement,
16:11
right? But what happens if they've once they've deported everybody they can and
16:16
they need a new scapegoat? Like are they just going to become is is everyone's citizenship going to be questioned at
16:22
that point? Like is it going to be who can who goes back the furthest, who did a crime, whose parents did a crime, who
16:29
missed a form, right? It's going to be like those uh old
16:36
German movies where people are having to show papers for traveling and that kind
16:41
of [ __ ] Already got to. Yep. already got to
16:47
I mean even now for like flying in a plane you got to get a real ID or a passport
16:54
and that was this was a choice we had after 911 as well is you know do we
17:00
cooperate with the world or do we become the world police and obviously as team America would lead you to believe we
17:07
decided we were going to be the world's police yeah because we know what's best for
17:12
you. Well, we didn't want to give up what we would have to give up to cooperate,
17:18
right? We'll just police it. We'll just police it, which is, you know, that's what it
17:23
is on the on the local scale, too, is is people that own everything don't want to
17:29
give up ownership. I saw in order yesterday that said, "So, let me get this straight. Uh we
17:36
have a felon uh that has an immigrant uh partner
17:43
telling us that he wants to get rid of felons and immigrants.
17:51
That doesn't make any sense. Yeah, it's you know it's
17:58
he just does it because he taps into the the dark underbelly of American popular
18:04
himself. He's He's I mean he's projecting everything he says that that the left is doing. He's doing. He's
18:12
absolutely doing these things. Oh, yeah. Every every accusation from Trump is a confession. 100%.
18:18
Yeah. And then you heard now this week that Pam Bondi, the attorney general, she's saying, "Oh, there is no Epstein list."
18:26
Oh, is that the newest? It doesn't exist now, even though it for months now.
18:35
Oh man. Yeah. What what is the uh
18:41
so we'll we'll we'll go to CNN here for Pam Bondi's
18:49
botched handling of the Epstein files. So the Trump administration's promises
18:55
to release Oh, this is I think I think what they meant is promise. Uh, the Trump administration's promise to
19:02
release extensive and significant new information related to disgraced financeier Jeffrey Epstein appear to be
19:07
petering out, depriving conspiracy-minded MAGA supporters of the smoking guns they have long sought as
19:13
they've publicly tried to influence figures to Epstein's crimes. So, and to the extent those MAGA
19:18
supporters are disappointed, the Trump administration has itself to blame, that especially applies to Attorney General Bam Pam Bondi, or who I was about to
19:26
call Bam Pondi. Does is that like a mashup of Pam Bondi
19:31
and Bam Margera? Maybe. Maybe they Bam's looking a lot better these days, though.
19:37
I know. He's looking a lot like his uncle. He Well, I was going to say he looks like his dad. He's almost He almost
19:43
looks like if his dad could skateboard, if you've seen the recent the recent Oh, I have. Yeah, he
19:48
Yeah, he he actually No, I think you're right. I think he looks more like his dad than his uncle. But either way, I was He's gotten a He's gotten a lot
19:54
thicker since I've seen him last. Oh, yeah. Well, I have, too. Uh
19:59
well, same. Yeah. Uh the Justice Department posted a memo Monday that says there is no evidence
20:06
Epstein was murdered or that he kept anything amounting to a much anticipated client list. The department does not
20:13
plan to release any new documents on the matter. An official told CNN. So they're gaslighting us now is what
20:19
they're doing. Yeah. There was never What do you mean? There was never a client list. Why would
20:25
you have thought that? Why? And What I meant by the client list
20:31
was it was a receipt from uh from Raid. It looked really really big. Although it
20:37
only had five items on it. It was all coupons on new lists. Yeah. Yeah.
20:43
Yeah. I know. Why would you think he killed himself? Most people beat themselves up before they hang. You know, he know that the soap that
20:49
they have at the prisons are notoriously slippery. So it it shot out of his hand and then hit him in the leg and fell
20:56
over and he smacked his head on a toilet seat 10 feet away from the shower.
21:02
Wasn't he found actually to have hugged himself though? I don't even know how he died. I just know that he died in prison and
21:08
everyone's like he didn't kill himself. I was like, you know what? He you know the I don't I'm not surprised if he was
21:16
killed because he was he was a pedophile and and as I've been told by people that
21:22
I've known to gone to have gone to jail or prison, they do not like pedophiles in prison.
21:29
So those guys usually slip and fall in a shower. Yeah. And Miami Herald's Julie K. Brown,
21:36
one of the best sourced reporters on the Epstein case, reported earlier this year, "Those who have worked with the
21:42
FBI on the case for decades say there is no evidence Epstein kept a ledger of lists or lists of clients who were
21:49
involved with his se sex trafficking operation. Still, the memo undercuts theories that
21:54
continued to circulate, including that there was proof that influence influential figures were involved in ex
22:01
Epstein's exploitation of underage girls. At their most pitched, these theories held that Epstein was able to
22:07
blackmail those influential figures who appeared on a purported client list. They also undercut Bondie's personal
22:13
rhetoric. The new memo's key findings are very different from how Bondi built them. Farright activist Laura Loomer,
22:19
who has demonstrated influence with the Trump administration and has frequently criticized Bondie over her handling of the Epstein investigation, called for
22:25
Trump to fire his attorney general. If she doesn't get fired over this Epstein memo, people are going to be so
22:32
blackpilled," Loomer wrote on X, using a term that some of the far right used to signify a belief that the system is
22:39
beyond repair. Oh yeah, that's right. Red pill is like becoming a aware of what's going on and
22:45
black pill is for those who no longer be want to be red pill but also don't want
22:50
to be bluepilled. Yeah, I was going to say where's the blue pill fit in with this? Well, the blue pill is clearly, you know, well,
22:57
where we are because we're we're, you know, not Republicans or not MAGA, so
23:03
we're the we're the woke ones. We're in the blissful ignorance. Yeah, we're we're woke, so therefore
23:09
blissfully ignorant, which is weird because woke should be the red pill, right? You would think. Yeah,
23:17
you would think. So, uh, apparently the idea that Epstein
23:22
kept a client list that potentially implicated influential figures has become an article of faith in some
23:28
circles. Key Republican lawmakers have treated its existence as an established fact and pushed for its release. And a
23:35
big reason was Bondi herself. During a February 21st interview on Fox News, host John Roberts asked whether DOJ
23:42
would release a list of clients. Will that really happen? Roberts asked. Uh, Bondie responded. It's sitting on my
23:48
desk right now to review. That's been a directive by President Trump of reviewing that. Yeah.
23:53
So, so there you go. Like they were pretending it was there. They were certainly acting like it was there. I
23:59
think they were playing their constituents for fools like they do on everything else. Yeah. Um
24:05
but to any extent that a that astein list has been assembled from contacts
24:10
and things like that, um you know, Trump's on it and that's why this is all
24:15
happening. Yeah. I mean, even if Trump wasn't like the most mentioned name on it, they'd be
24:23
figuring out a way like if Trump was just barely referenced, they'd figure out a way to scrub him. Yeah. And and release some sort of composite
24:29
of like, okay, we have these based on people in his phone, people he's messages with, people he's
24:34
We've all seen the video of those two hanging out. And and they the way they were acting in that video looked like
24:40
there were a couple teenage boys like checking out girls at the mall. They were like at the mall like, "Check
24:46
that one out. That one's hot. I like her. She's got a nice butt. That kind of Oh, yeah. No, it's it's two sleeves
24:51
bags. If you ever seen two sleeves bags hanging out together, two sleeves bags on the sleeves.
24:57
Oh, yeah. So, um,
25:04
God, someone someone famous recently in like the last few days passed away and
25:10
I'm trying to remember who the hell it was. My brain is just not wanting to brain today.
25:16
Um, you know, I've been doing so much mourning for the country that I I you
25:22
know, I know who you're talking I I know I saw someone too. Um, yeah. I mean, I've seen a few people
25:27
obviously, you know, but it's like hold on. I I know I have it somewhere. I have a website that has
25:34
all that [ __ ] Um,
25:39
at least I did. Where is it?
25:47
Either way, uh um I'm g still look for it. I I gotta find it now because now
25:52
that I mentioned it, I'm [ __ ] not seeing the [ __ ] thing.
25:58
Uh meanwhile, the uh markets are down again
26:04
uh because Trump announces new 40% tariffs on a growing number of countries.
26:12
Oh, of course. Right. So, what do we have now?
26:17
President Donald President Donald Trump still comes out of your mouth. It's just all wrong. Uh cranked up the pressure
26:23
Monday on America's trading partners, firing off letters to heads of several countries, informing them of their new
26:29
tariff rate. But at the same time, Trump took some of the edge off by signing an executive action Monday to extend the
26:35
date for all reciprocal tariffs with the exception of China to August 1st. So the
26:42
the 90 days was up and now that's pushed back to August 1st. So we extended it another 30 days basically. Okay. Uh
26:51
what the hell? You know, I really absolutely [ __ ] hate the websites that like will like
26:58
hide [ __ ] because you have a pop-up blocker. We're not going to let you see our [ __ ] [ __ ] you. I don't need to look
27:05
at your website anyhow. Sorry. Yeah, those websites are shady anyways.
27:12
Uh, let's see. I just [ __ ] had it. Where'd it go?
27:18
All right. Well, Google Google's telling me it's Julian McMahon, the guy from Niptuck and the Fantastic 4.
27:25
Oh, he did. He did pass away. Yeah, that's that's one person who did. Yeah. Or as as people I used to know call it,
27:32
Fantastic because of how the logo looked.
27:38
So that's unfortunate. I thought of the of that entire movie, I thought he was probably the best part of that of that
27:45
movie's whole like Dr. Doom thing he had.
27:51
So,
27:57
and then in the sign of of what happens with when you do go towards police state and
28:04
you defund the welfare state in order to fund the police state, you get
28:11
what you get, you know, poor rescue responses. You get poor warnings. You know, we defund the National Weather
28:17
Service. Yeah. There there's there's a trending sound on TikTok right now that says,
28:22
"So, let me get this straight. You're angry at the uh at the service that was
28:27
defunded by the government to warn people about these types of things."
28:33
I'm paraphrasing it, but uh but yeah, and they and then you know because you know we're talking about the
28:40
Texas flood and unfortunately you know there's more than a hundred dead because they weren't properly warned. And from
28:46
what I'm reading it's not just that you know they they you know they undercut they they
28:53
defunded Noah and the National Weather Service and they cut a whole bunch of staff. Um they're still able to make
29:00
their weather predictions. uh not as many not as accurately. They don't put as many weather balloons up in the air
29:06
anymore um because a lot of their various remote stations don't have the
29:11
funds to do the weather balloons as often as they did before, right? Um but but they were still getting
29:17
predictions. The problem is they then hand those predictions off to who? They've they've cut people up and down
29:24
the chain at that nobody took these forecasts and disseminated them to the
29:29
town. Uh this town in Texas, which you know, living off the Texas ethic of
29:35
pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps, they didn't, you know, they didn't want to pay taxes and they didn't
29:41
pay the taxes for the warning system that would have told them this flood was
29:48
coming and to evacuate the area. Yeah, like that's the thing is it's like taxes
29:55
taxes are almost always, you know, except in the sense of when they fund war, taxes are always going to something
30:02
useful. Like you can argue over how useful, but taxes are always going to
30:07
something useful. And the idea that we should save money in our budget by
30:12
selling off necessary warnings and programs is absurd. It'd be like if you
30:17
needed to make your mortgage and you decided you're going to sell off your oven and your furnace of your house to
30:24
make mortgage for that month. It's like, okay, you made mortgage for this month. Maybe it pays three months of mortgage,
30:30
but then what do you do, right? You don't have anything else big to sell off and you still got to find a way to
30:36
eat and heat yourself. So, so that's what we're doing when we cut
30:42
Medicaid, when we cut the Noah, when we cut the National Weather Service, when we cut all these programs, when we cut
30:47
school lunches, when we cut school funding, what we're doing is we're we're selling off our oven. We're selling off
30:54
our refrigerator. We're selling off our furniture. We're selling off parts of our house to pay a mortgage that we need
31:00
to we're going to need those. We're just going to need to buy those things back to begin with. Yeah. like or suffer the consequences of
31:07
not having them, which in the case of the actual economy means people die.
31:14
And and first we did it with, you know, first Doge did it with with uh US aid
31:20
and we now know that that's going to kill between 15 and 40 million people. I
31:27
forget what the I the number might have been like 40 million people with 15 being children. Um, it's an article I
31:34
read during the week, but it was it was I want to say the
31:39
percentage was more of children was more than that. So maybe it wasn't maybe Yeah, maybe the 40 is the wrong number, but
31:47
it's just that's what we do know. It's it's it's a line from a weaker than song where the mayor's out killing kids to keep taxes down. Like that's what we're
31:54
doing. We're just saying, you know, we'd rather be free and tax we'd rather be taxfree than have happy people,
32:01
right? And that's that's where we're moving towards the police state and away from the welfare state,
32:08
you know? When we move towards a welfare state, you end up like, you know, like a Finland or a Denmark. um you end up with
32:15
happy people and you don't have to spend as much money on on policing your
32:21
neighborhoods because everybody's happy and nobody feels the need to risk crime
32:26
when they're happy and they at least have their basic needs met, right? Oh [ __ ] another person has passed from
32:34
my childhood. Uh the actor who played Cletus Hog on the Dukes of Hazard passed
32:40
away. Oh, Rick Hurst. Yeah, that was a show that was before my
32:46
time and I never got back to. Oh, man. I mean, it's you can't it's not
32:52
streaming anywhere right now, but you can you could probably buy an episode or two or find clips of it on YouTube. He
32:59
was actually one of the better characters on the show. That's a bummer.
33:06
So, do we have anybody watching? Uh, you know what? Let me take a look.
33:11
I haven't been watching been watchers. Uh we have one over on Twitch, but
33:17
that's probably a bot um because of the reream or the stream elements, one of
33:23
the two. Nothing on YouTube. I don't I'm not seeing anything over on YouTube right now.
33:29
Fair enough. People might jump in here in a little bit though because uh my friend Shannon said she was she was
33:35
still out and about but when she gets home she'll she'll she'll hop on and watch. So,
33:42
and any mis calls or anything? I haven't had anything happen on my phone.
33:47
I don't have it I don't have it muted or anything. So, you'll hear it rings when it when it when it starts going.
33:56
But uh uh but it just just everything to say in the news that happened this in
34:01
this last week which is just really in a time of a lot of bad news very often.
34:07
This was a particularly bad week of news with the passage of the bill and then the Texas floods, right?
34:12
Um it's just just a one of the saddest, you know, the saddest
34:17
the saddest Fourth of July since the last Trump Fourth of July. Yeah. uh at least, you know, maybe even
34:24
before that because at least the last Trump Fourth of July we thought was the last Trump Fourth of July. We thought
34:30
there wasn't going to be another one with him. But uh
34:36
but it just you got to you got to vote. You got to turn out you got to you got to go progressive. You got to take care
34:42
of you got to go towards the welfare state. Even if that has a bad taste in your mouth, it's part of the it's part
34:49
of the preamble of our constitution. like, you know, we're not just supposed to provide for the common defense. We're
34:54
supposed to um ensure the general welfare or promote the general welfare.
34:59
And that's that's the government's role. Promote the general welfare. Like that's
35:05
it's that's more couldn't be more simple than that. And the fact that the preamble to the constitution doesn't
35:10
ever it doesn't ever become pertinent to any discussions like we
35:17
never interpret anything like well what would the preamble of the constitution what would the whole point of the
35:22
constitution lead you to believe this means and we don't ever evaluate it from that perspective. We always evaluate it
35:29
from some from some word analysis of like well what does this comma mean? What does this what does this preface
35:34
mean? What is what is the word? What is the meaning of the word is? Um, you know, sometimes things are what
35:42
you see. Sometimes there's no hidden meaning. Yeah.
35:47
Well, it's like the preamble tells you how you're supposed to interpret it. How you're supposed to interpret the Constitution.
35:52
Yeah. And promoting the general welfare is in
35:58
there. Policing the state is not.
36:04
In fact, police police didn't even exist in most places until sometime after the
36:10
Civil War. Yeah. Because uh it wasn't the original the original um
36:18
words I'm looking for are escaping me. Uh the original purpose of uh of a
36:24
police of a police force was uh to maintain the the slaves and and make
36:29
sure they don't take off or or uh leave. I don't I don't even know. Well, I think they had private bounties that did that
36:36
and private groups like I think the original thing that that's that's what that became though that those groups like be
36:43
that could be cuz I I was almost thinking more in the north of like police arising like in New York because
36:49
they protected businesses downtown from Yeah. from
36:54
anarchists and things like that. Um,
36:59
like that's kind of my in in my history of police, they basically rose to as
37:04
property defenders, which is really still what they do today, which is why we we have such a clash between police
37:11
and protesters and things like that because the police is really their ultimate duty is to protect property and
37:18
that clashes with that clashes with human rights in a lot of cases.
37:26
But, you know, I mentioned earlier that we've had a we've had a welfare state
37:31
since since the New Deal. Um, yeah.
37:36
And that's been eroded away through the last few decades, you know, especially under Reagan and and in the
37:44
subsequent decades, we've just further further exacerbated the issue which has, you know, resulted in the biggest
37:50
inequality in American history now, right? Um, but if we were to go back
37:55
towards a welfare state, if we were going to go back towards a New Deal, um,
38:00
one of the things that came from the New Deal era that was never implemented was the second bill of rights. Have you ever
38:07
heard of this? The second bill of rights? No, I have not. Right. Yeah. Right. Like that's that's what I said when I was the second bill
38:13
of rights. Is that like second breakfast? Yeah. Just you're already kind of full,
38:19
but it's still delicious. Um, no. It's it's uh so the second bill of
38:25
rights or the bill of economic rights was proposed by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt during his State
38:32
of the Union address on Tuesday, January 11th, 1944.
38:38
So, not long before he passed away. Okay. In his address, Roosevelt suggested that
38:43
the nation had come to recognize and should now implement a second bill of rights. Roosevelt argued that the
38:49
political rights guaranteed by the constitution and the bill of rights had proved inadequate to assure us equality
38:55
in the pursuit of happiness. His remedy was to declare an economic bill of rights to guarantee these specific
39:02
rights. So these are the rights that it specifically enunciated um employment.
39:07
So the right to work but that should be differentiated from what's now known as right to work. Right.
39:14
Right to work, right? But the but employment, a guarantee of employment, a guarantee of
39:20
an adequate income for food, shelter, and recreation. So, I think that jives with our idea of
39:26
of a guaranteed income and basic income, right? Farmers rights to a fair income. Now,
39:32
that's a bit it's too bad that they didn't get that because they've
39:38
subsequently been bought out by global national chains.
39:44
So, you know, there's really is no more farmer like we had in the 1940s. You
39:50
know, farmers are all corporations for the most part now. Um, but on further on
39:56
the list, freedom from unfair competition and monopolies. It's unfortunate that we don't have an amendment addressing that specifically.
40:04
Decent housing, adequate medical care, social security, and education. So,
40:11
those are all supposed to be guaranteed items under the second bill of rights. Now, as you may have guessed, we never
40:18
got the second bill of rights. Uh,
40:23
but but that may mostly be due to to Roosevelt having passed away. It's hard
40:30
to really say. Um, but after Roosevelt's death in 45, President Truman administration had within a few years
40:37
within a few years compromised the New Deal. FDR's third-term vice president, Henry Wallace, launched a presidential
40:44
bid in 48 with a new party. The progressive platform, the progressive party platform promoted the opposition
40:49
party's abandoned economic bill of rights. So, we did have an entire uh new
40:55
party form to promote this economic bill of rights. And and that's to me is one
41:01
of the saddest uh parts of history is that the progressive party became, you
41:06
know, a third an irrelevant third party rather than the main arm of the
41:12
Democratic party, you know, following following FDR. It would have been nice,
41:17
you know, if we had kept up the more progressive tradition. Yeah. But but after all after, you know,
41:24
four elections, you know, four cycles plus plus Truman, so really five U of
41:31
Democratic rule, it was kind of time for the pendulum to swing the other way.
41:38
So once it went into, you know, Eisenhower's hands,
41:43
he still did a lot of good progressive work, um, to be honest, but it was from
41:49
a Republican businessoriented perspective. Yeah.
41:55
And it and it sort of it left the conversation of progressivism behind
42:00
which, you know, we were doing well through the 50s, so I I get it. But
42:08
it really progressiveism really didn't come back until the social until the civil rights movement.
42:16
Yeah. Oh, that makes sense. But this I do I did like when I discovered the second bill of rights
42:22
that how much how well it aligned with our stated goals for this podcast. You know,
42:28
right? I mean, which I of course have memorized and I'm
42:34
looking up on my phone. I mean, it happens, you know. I I I have
42:40
uh especially when it's hot, I I get I get a lot of brain fog.
42:50
which is which is worse I think than just like having your train of thoughts derailed,
42:55
right? But we had things in there like everyone deserves food, shelter, and healthcare, right? Boom.
43:00
Uh personal responsibility often means working together.
43:07
Lack of trust in government is a problem with elections, not the role of government. Everyone should pay the same taxes on
43:13
the same dollars with the percentage increasing as the dollars increase. Um, but yeah, it's I mean we we kind of
43:18
combined all this into one item, but and the right to a good education is, you know, maybe that's not something we
43:24
specifically state in our in in ours, which we definitely should because that
43:29
is absolutely important to being able to conduct. If everybody went to college, then nobody would be a Republican,
43:37
right? And if and it's not that everybody needs to go to college, but college there
43:43
should be a free college option, you know, that's not a quality free college
43:49
in every state or, you know, multiple in every state to to get at least whatever the minimum
43:55
like college um certificate is. Well, yeah. Well, whether it's a AA or a
44:02
B or you know or a BA um associates or a bachelor's, um
44:07
it's just if you are a good enough student or you have the intellectual curiosity to pursue higher education,
44:14
there should be a free option for you that's of quality. We got a guaranteed
44:20
we have a comment on YouTube from Smoke Elijah to review Tech USA's. I don't know what
44:28
that means, but that's what he said. That sounds like a a bot or a
44:35
It's probably It's probably a bot. Yeah, I don't know. Fair enough. Well, thanks for the
44:40
interaction. We appreciate it. That get that gets, you know, that that tweaks the algorithm a little bit,
44:46
right? Yeah. Every little bit helps, right?
44:53
Let's try something real quick. Joe Rogan is a little person. He is tiny. He
44:58
is super short. He is not as big as he looks on camera. [Laughter]
45:04
Joe Rogan is a [ __ ] I think you have to look in a mirror and say Joe Rogan three times.
45:10
I think saying Joe Rogan two and a half times is what you need to do because that's about how tall he is.
45:18
I actually someone someone said that um about a month or so back over on Tik Tok. If you want to get some
45:24
interactions from bots, you got to say something about Joe Rogan in a negative light and they will come for you.
45:32
They have to be listening though. You need to write it. Well, I mean, yeah. Put it in the show description. There you go. I'll put it in the chat.
45:42
Joe Rogan is shorter than Tom Cruz. Is that true?
45:48
Uh, no. No. Tom Cruz is like almost uh he's I think his online thing says he's
45:54
like 5'6, but he's like closer to five, maybe 48. He's tiny.
46:06
48 would be ridiculously small though.
46:16
Yeah. Now, this is something I didn't know just kind of looking in some in in
46:22
through the the Wikipedia on the Bill of Rights. Uh, so Maryanne Williamson, she
46:28
ran for president in 2024. Okay. Um, she spoke in a way that like really
46:33
spoke to my progressive heart, but everything about her just kind of felt
46:39
like a trick. I don't know. It felt like, you know, it it didn't feel right. But in her 2024 presidential primary
46:46
campaign, uh, she featured a 21st century economic bill of rights in her platform, which again just chose just
46:52
goes to show that she was really she had me in particular really dialed in with her rhetoric in her platform. But there
46:58
was just something about her that I just didn't it felt it felt almost like evil. Like she did it and it like she was just
47:05
saying this to get you to come over like like you know taunting me with candy. We got another comment asking what it is
47:11
we talk about on here. So, what do you want to tell them, Doug? What? Well, we we talk about politics and pop
47:17
culture. Uh, first half of the show is usually mostly political news, latest news of the week, and then the back half
47:24
of the show is is usually pop culture, what's what's geek this week, and some weird some weird don't mind if I say a
47:30
bad word, but some weird [ __ ] Yeah. Yeah. Now, this uh that's that question is
47:36
from Take Notes 420. So, Oh, yeah. And and please feel free to
47:43
light up and dab up if you if you are so inclined. Yes, go for it.
47:49
Let us know what you're dabbing on or smoking on. Yep.
47:55
So, uh, I did want to touch on this story that,
48:02
uh, this is hanging over from last week or something you posted, Todd, but is Donald Trump legalizing driving
48:08
without a license? Yeah, I I posted that um I think a day or two after we
48:15
recorded last. I I want I just want to put it in there because I didn't want to forget it. Yeah. So, it's interesting. Uh several
48:22
videos have gone viral on TikTok making false claims that President Donald Trump plans to abolish driver's license
48:27
requirements in 2026. Yeah, it's absolute [ __ ]
48:33
So, numerous social media. Oh, I just spilled. Oh, it was only It was an empty can that was apparently still had some
48:40
drops in it and just knocked it over on my own legs. It's okay.
48:48
Excuse me while I wipe this up. Excuse me while I whip this up.
48:56
Work for Blazing Saddles. So, this month, numerous social media
49:02
users on Tik Tok have have suggested that beginning in January 2026, people will not need a driver's license to
49:09
operate a motor vehicle. Uh, the videos, which have been viewed and shared thousands of times, feature creators
49:14
either promoting the claim directly or reacting to it with disbelief and concern.
49:19
Yeah, we are on we are the letter half on that one. We don't believe it. We think it's absolute horshit.
49:25
Yeah. One video which has been shared over 200,000 times was posted by user
49:30
Mela Ashara. Excuse me. Enjoy that one. Uh she said, "So by January of 2026, you do not need
49:38
a driver's license to drive anymore. You can literally get in the car and go." Is this just part of like the Russian
49:44
misinformation campaign to bring as much chaos to America as possible? It it it
49:49
sounds like or China or whoever it it legitimately just sounds like the uh the uh uh the uh sovereign sovereign
49:57
people kind of speak. That's the kind of [ __ ] they would talk about. I don't need I'm not I'm not uh I'm not
50:04
uh how is it? I'm I'm not uh I'm not driving. I'm traveling. I'm legally
50:09
allowed to travel from the Constitution. You cannot stop me from from traveling. Blah blah blah
50:16
blah blah. Yeah. And Newsweek goes on to note that even if a president supported ending
50:21
certain requirements, a change would require significant state level legislative action or a modification of
50:27
existing transportation regulations at the federal level. Yeah. So, no change is being implemented in
50:32
2026. That's not going to happen. Yeah. Each state will enforce its own laws.
50:38
Just that's I hate that. That's something we have to keep reiterating in the Trump era is the states will enforce
50:45
their own laws. Yeah. Yeah. We don't have a king and and we we won't have a king. I don't
50:53
I don't think we're gonna I I'm I'm I'm confident that our government is going
50:58
to do whatever they need to do to get somebody else into office. So,
51:03
yep. Right. Right. The f on. And so, without, you know, goes without saying,
51:10
Newsweek rated this an F, a false. Yeah. Yeah.
51:15
So, with that, Todd, um, if unless we have any anybody that wants to call in
51:21
or or ask a political question, uh, we can move on to what's geek this week.
51:26
All right. What is geek this week? So, let me pull
51:32
that my uh Google doc up here. The first thing I have here is that
51:37
no theme song. Oh, yes. Yeah. Thank you for reminding me because I'm I'm just not braining today, man. I I live for it, man. I live
51:44
for this theme. I live for all our themes. Welcome to What's Chief This Week, your
51:49
go for the coolest in pop culture category news. Let's dive in. [Music]
51:57
All right, so it's rumors have been floating around the internet the last few days. At least that was the first
52:03
time I saw anything about it. rumors of a reboot for Indiana Jones
52:10
a after after Harrison Ford said, "Yeah, they're not going to do anymore after I'm done. They're done with this.
52:16
They're not going to do more." And uh this article here, let me pull this up
52:22
is on uh Walt Disney World News Today
52:30
or WDWnt.com. It says, "According to latest rumors,
52:37
Disney and Lucasfilm are planning to on rebooting the Indiana Jones franchise sometime in the near future."
52:44
uh says, "According to new uh new article from comicbook.com,
52:50
multiple in internal sources have reportedly confirmed Disney and Lucasfilm are planning on a reboot of
52:57
Indiana Jones. Comic Book has pulled statements from DIS Insider, DIS
53:03
Insider, uh which state Lucasfilm is letting the Indiana Jones franchise rest for a bit
53:10
before they will do a full reboot of the franchise." The rumor goes on to state,
53:17
"I would expect the studio to announce something next year at D23 Expo because
53:23
even though the last film tanked in the in the box office, Indiana Jones is
53:28
still an iconic IP and Disney and Lucasfilm do not want to waste that." I
53:34
mean, yeah. I'm I'm surprised it took them what was it 15 years since the last
53:40
one they did. And that one was moderately better than this one. And uh this most recent one.
53:46
I was shocked when I saw how much time was between like from like the Shia Lab one to the more recent one. I was like,
53:51
"Oh, wow. It was like I mean they a whole another generation." Yeah. They they uh I mean honestly they
53:58
they could have done at least two or three movies in the time that they in between the last one and the and the
54:04
current one. And the way they the way they explained the absence of of Mut
54:10
was, you know, like he went uh he and Indiana Jones, his dad got into a
54:15
massive argument and then Mut decided to enlist and didn't come home.
54:21
Oh. So he Wow. That's that's some dark backstory to add to Indie.
54:26
Yeah. You know, and of course, uh they uh basically also um say that Marcus
54:33
passed away not long after dad. And of course, I think that was in the that was
54:38
in the Crystal Skull movie. Never mind. But either way, they uh basically all the characters that we all loved in the
54:44
first three movies were all pretty much gone. Um, Marian does make a a brief
54:51
appearance in this most recent one, but it was not towards not until the end of
54:56
towards the end of the movie. So So you think they're going to have Alden Aaron Reich play Indiana Jones in the
55:03
reboot? I mean, you mean the guy who played solo? I I I don't think so. I, as much
55:09
as I liked him in that, I don't think he There's no way they would, right? There's no way. I mean, he's he doesn't have that he's he's he he doesn't have
55:17
that. Um I mean, he barely Well, the reboot's not supposed to be
55:23
it's not supposed to be the same character again. It's it's I mean, it's it's it's going to be it's going to be Indiana Jones. Whether or
55:29
not Indiana Jones is going to be a 35-year-old white male is really the question cuz I've seen um some articles
55:37
about people like making suggestions who they would like to see as the new
55:42
Indiana Jones. And a couple of them uh one was uh the the woman who was in the
55:48
most recent one as his his uh god niece or his goddaughter.
55:53
And uh I don't know. I I Alter Bridge or or uh what was it? the the the the the slum slum lord
56:01
millionaires lady. I don't know. I don't know her name. I just know that she was in that movie.
56:08
I honestly have no idea. I I don't even have a face. Uh okay. Well, she's I think she's uh
56:14
British, but she's also part Indian, like like East Indian.
56:20
Um so she's one of the people listed. And then of course uh at the top of the
56:26
list was uh Kquan who played Short Round. Oh, wouldn't that be interesting
56:32
if it was now if if if it was going to be same universe. Um not like a a start
56:38
over and like have a new actor playing uh Henry Jones Jr. We have just the next
56:44
generation, which would be key. He's the next gen. He's our age. My age. Not ours. My age. He's actually a couple
56:51
couple months older than me, but uh I found that out today. Um, he uh I think
56:58
he could he could easily do like the Indiana Jones thing where he um
57:04
maybe he went back to college from the time that we saw him at in at uh when he
57:10
was like 12 or 13 in in in the second movie to Yeah, he could have been an archaeologist like he could have been training to become
57:16
he could have gone to college after like um that interview not interview that that um interaction with Indiana that,
57:26
you know, brain is not braining today. Uh, so yeah, he could have gone to college and and become a an
57:32
archaeologist and all that and just and then been like, uh, hey, uh, let's, you
57:37
know, and he's like, no, I'm retired kid. I can't do this anymore. This, but hey, check this out. And he could be
57:43
Indiana Jones himself could turn into like the Marcus character who was like giving Indiana the the the paperwork or
57:50
the stories to go investigate. That's kind of how I'm thinking. Anyhow,
57:55
um I would I honestly I'd be cool with that, but I'm I'm also good with like a complete reboot where we get a different
58:01
actor entirely to play Indiana Jones. Um yeah,
58:06
Henry Jones, which is I'm I'm assuming that's where they're actually going. Yeah, that's that's definitely going to be the way that Disney's going to do it.
58:12
Lucasfilm. Um Oh, and here's the list of the actors. I
58:17
if I would have just kept looking at the [ __ ] dock, I could have told you. Um, so the 10 actors that they think could
58:25
replace Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. Number 10 is Chris Pratt because of
58:31
course Chris Pratt. Um, and then number nine is Tom Hardy. I could see that. I
58:37
could see him uh especially if he does if he doesn't do an American accent. If he does a British accent, that'd be even
58:43
cooler. Um, if we if we made him a Brit. Chris Pine would be a good a good uh
58:50
choice I think as a as an American uh Indiana Jones if they want wanted to
58:55
Yeah, I could see Chris Pine. Uh Edris Elba, I could see him doing it.
59:01
He gets flooded for like everything like this. He'd be fine at it. He'd be I I I think I think um I think it could
59:07
be depending on how they do the backstory of his version of Indiana. It could be really good. Um if they make
59:14
him an American, I don't know. I've not heard him do an American accent, so I'm sure he can do a great job of it because
59:20
he's a he's a decent actor. He's actually a really good actor. Not more he's more than decent. He's really good.
59:25
Um, but he he's one of the people he's one of the top choices that people have for for James Bond,
59:30
right? So, um, Scarlett Johansson.
59:35
Now, that would definitely be interesting if if she was like the like the
59:41
granddaughter of of Henry Jones Jr., She's like the daughter of mud. Henry
59:46
Jones III. I could see that. They have to set that way in the future.
59:52
I mean, it's it's already the last one was already kind of in the future because it was 15 years after the last
59:58
movie. Like, is she older than Shia Labou? Are they about the same age? I mean, they can age her. They can they
1:00:05
Well, they could always say that, you know, he because he died in the in what was it? Uh, Korean War. I think it's
1:00:12
where he where he died. uh Munt died I think in the it was either Korean or it was uh it was Korea
1:00:18
Vietnam or Vietnam rather probably Vietnam right so that she could have she could be like
1:00:24
cuz I think she's in her late 30s early 40s if that I think she's in her 30s either way
1:00:30
she's basically my age yeah she's a millennial and I'm older than him
1:00:37
but I guess that was set in the past so yeah I mean it it could be he didn't have to be he doesn't have to be chron
1:00:43
chronologically younger than he is in real life. She could just be playing the part of the older child of the now
1:00:51
deceased. Yeah. It could even be set in modern times and just she's the great great grand daughter. Great great great grand.
1:00:58
Or if they if they were to do like a reboot entirely, just a whole new story. She is uh uh she is like the the the
1:01:06
granddaughter or the or the daughter or the niece of somebody who was like a you know I don't know somebody in history
1:01:13
and she she she decided to kind of follow suit. I don't know. Uh the next
1:01:19
one on the list is Scott Eastwood. Apparently he is the the son of Clint
1:01:25
Eastwood. I didn't know who he was. I was going to say, isn't that the name that Marty McFly made up when he went to the Old West? No, he he used Clinton
1:01:31
Eastwood in the Old West. Clint Eastwood? That's a stupid name. But uh uh but yeah, Scott Eastwood, the son of
1:01:37
Clinton Eastwood, one of the most iconic action heroes in cinematic history.
1:01:43
What was he in? I'll guess he was in the Fast and Furious movies. Um and Guy Guy Richie's Wraith of Wrath
1:01:51
of Man. Okay. I've seen those movies. I don't remember him in them as anything.
1:01:57
So, um, but yeah, I mean, he he has kind of the the, uh, the, uh, the kind of the
1:02:04
everyman look to him. He looks like he could like pass as like a a former like football star in high school or
1:02:10
something. But, uh, and then number four is Pedro Pascal because, of course, he's the
1:02:16
Mandalorian and, you know, Reed Richards, so why the [ __ ] not?
1:02:21
And, uh, okay, this is the woman I was trying to remember her name. Phoebe Waller Bridge. She plays the the the
1:02:29
goddaughter to Indiana Jones in the last movie and uh she does most of the action
1:02:35
stuff. So, um I need to rewatch that movie because I the last time I watched it was I kept
1:02:43
like either nodding off or I was, you know, fidgeting with something and I kept missing stuff. Um and number two on
1:02:51
the list is Bradley Cooper. I could see that. I could totally see that.
1:02:58
And then and then number one is uh Kiquan Kiwan.
1:03:03
Okay. You know, uh yeah, short round. So that and like I said, I think if if if they
1:03:09
were going to do that, it would have to be kind of a a uh continuation of the
1:03:14
same universe in which, you know, Andy put him through college, you know,
1:03:22
probably at the right around the same time as Mut went back to college. So,
1:03:28
and you said uh you said Tom Holland was on that list. No, no, he should. You know what? That's
1:03:34
not a bad idea, though. Tom Holland could easily be like an Indiana Jen Jones kind of guy, right?
1:03:40
Well, he did the Uncharted Yeah. movies, right? So, yeah, I could see that. Same difference.
1:03:45
I could see that before I could see uh Chris Pratt. I'm glad Mark Wahberg wasn't on the list
1:03:51
at least. Right. Yeah. I don't really like him either. Um but yeah, that's that's what that is.
1:03:59
I got to go run and uh grab some ibuprofen. You want to start talking about this next story and I'll be right back.
1:04:04
Yeah, I can I can do that. No problem. So Stephen Steven Spielberg I guess has done many many movies over
1:04:12
the years and and I've seen most of those movies I think give or take one or two that I have missed. But it looks
1:04:18
like he um wanted to do one more genre of film that he hadn't done before.
1:04:25
And uh apparently he's never done a uh a western. I don't know. I I mean I'm not
1:04:31
huge into westerns. I think the only western I will admit to liking and like and will actively rewatch at least at
1:04:39
least once a year is uh Tombstone um with uh with Val Kilmer. But yeah, I
1:04:45
could totally see if if it was like if it was like if it's a straight like uh
1:04:50
just an actual western. There's no science fiction to it. There's no fantasy to it. It's just a straight
1:04:56
gunslinger type movie. I could see him doing that. He's done action movies
1:05:01
before. He's done movies where um yeah, I think um adventure movies is he's
1:05:09
definitely good at that. Um let's see. Let's see what it says here
1:05:15
on this article. Let me pull this up real quick. It says Stephen Spielberg reveals what
1:05:21
movie genre he still wants to make. During an event held by Universal Pictures in honor of Steven Spielberg,
1:05:28
the Oscarinning director shared the next movie genre he wants to make. Spielberg
1:05:33
is best known for his work on science fiction movies such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, ET extraterrestrial,
1:05:40
War of the Worlds, Ready Player One, and the Jurassic Park movies. What's next for Spielberg? In a recent interview,
1:05:47
Spielberg uh expressed desire to direct a western, even though the acclaimed
1:05:53
filmmaker hasn't directed one. He did previously produce a western miniseries
1:05:59
in 2005 titled Into the West. However, some fans
1:06:05
are argued that Spielberg's Indiana Jones franchise would also be considered
1:06:10
an action adventure movie with a western influence. You know what? I don't think they're
1:06:16
wrong there because I mean just the whole like uh because of the
1:06:21
time period that it takes place in. There's lots of you know revolvers and
1:06:26
and that type of weaponry. Um but there isn't anything like inherently uh like a
1:06:33
western where you go to a western town where people are riding horses instead
1:06:38
of riding buggies or cars. So, I don't think it really uh is the same thing as
1:06:44
a western as much as it is. It's an action film with with lots of lots of
1:06:50
gunplay. But, I don't know. I I I I it would depend on the story for me to if I
1:06:55
wanted to watch it or not, but I could I could totally see doing that. Uh
1:07:01
I could get into a Steven Spielberg western. Yeah. It says here, "I still have an appetite
1:07:06
for a western, which it will someday hopefully do." Uh, it's something that
1:07:12
eluded me for all these decades. Spielberg re revealed the award-winning
1:07:17
filmmaker has just wrapped production on his sci-fi project which has been
1:07:22
described as as an untitled UFO movie. It is directed by Spielberg from a
1:07:28
screenplay written by Jurassic Park scribe David Cop. Uh, based on a story
1:07:34
by the Oscar winning filmmaker. Uh the the ensemble cast includes Emily Blunt,
1:07:40
Wyatt Russell, Josh O' Conor, Coleman Domingo, Colin FTH, and Eve Hawson
1:07:49
Houston. Um and Noah Noah Robbins.
1:07:54
Is produced by Spielberg and uh Christy
1:07:59
Mosco Krager. I I am I'm I'm I'm totally butchering her name. I apologize. You're
1:08:06
doing your best for Amblin Entertainment along with Chris Bighgam. Uh this will be uh
1:08:13
Spielberg's latest directorial feature project uh since helming the 2022
1:08:19
Fablemans, which I haven't seen yet, but I need to. Um which is me saying it, not the article.
1:08:26
Uh the article just had a quick aside. Yeah. Yeah. Like I need to watch that
1:08:32
movie, but uh which was closely based on his early life. Aside from directing, Spielberg is also serving as a producer
1:08:39
on a number of upcoming projects including Universal Pictures uh Jurassic World Rebirth with Scarlett Johansson,
1:08:47
Netflix's Thursday Murder Club movie, and with Pierce Broman, and Apple TV
1:08:53
Plus's Cape Fear series with Amy Adams. I actually just watched the the the
1:08:59
newest Jurassic World movie, and it was it was really good. I liked it. I enjoyed it. So, that reminds me of
1:09:05
something else I did this weekend is Thursday is Thursday night. Uh, we went to the drive-in.
1:09:11
Oh, how was that? Good. It was good as always. Uh, but we saw we saw How to Train Your Dragon with
1:09:17
Jurassic Park. Oh, wow. Or Jurassic World. Jurassic World Rebirth. The new one. Yeah. Um, but I think it's just being a
1:09:24
Thursday after Sam and I had worked all day. Um, we uh we all pretty much slept
1:09:32
during Jurassic Park. Oh man. I mean, I I saw a bit of it. I saw a good bit of
1:09:38
it. It was It was fine. It I I think I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't falling asleep.
1:09:43
Yeah. Know, it had some slow moments. Excuse me. Um but overall, I enjoyed it.
1:09:50
It There was a couple parts that were like, "Oh, I'm seeing some foreshadowing."
1:09:55
I was like, "Yeah, that guy's gonna die. He's an [ __ ] so he's gonna die. He's He's going to get eaten by a dinosaur."
1:10:02
Um, so yeah. Uh, yeah, there was there was lots of stuff like why is this happening kind of stuff
1:10:08
going on, but but I liked, you know, I liked the dad of the kids that they ended up rescuing and then became part
1:10:13
of the movie. And then, uh, you know, I love Scarlett Johansson. She's great in
1:10:19
it. But it just, you know, I was just like, do we need more?
1:10:25
I It made me want to go back and watch more of the King Kong movies again. The King Kong and Godzilla.
1:10:30
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, the next story I have here is from screenrant.com. It is uh what is this?
1:10:37
The title of it is James Gun reveals his thoughts about the DCU Batman costume and whether he will wear the trunks like
1:10:45
Superman. Now, what does that mean? Wear the trunks like Superman. So, in the original like Superman and
1:10:52
Batman and pretty much all the superheroes back in the day, they wore their underwear on the outside of their leotards.
1:10:59
And at some point in the 2010s, I think, uh, Superman didn't have that. And in
1:11:05
sometime in the '9s, Batman didn't have that. So, um, we might see a kind of a a
1:11:13
call back to the Adam West Batman who did wear the underwear on the outside of his outfit.
1:11:20
So, and I think that's what he's talking about. But this is what it says here. DC Studios co-CEO James Gun shares an
1:11:29
update about the DCU's Batman bat suit in the Brave New and the Bold. After 11
1:11:36
liveaction Batman actors have portrayed the Cape Crusader on the big screen,
1:11:41
expectations around the DCU's new Batman are inevitably high.
1:11:47
Every previous actor, director, and writer have left a mark on Batman's
1:11:53
movie legacy, and uh the DC Universe's next Dark Knight needs to propose
1:12:00
something new, if not groundbreaking. In an interview with CBR, James Gun
1:12:05
answers whether Batman's DCU bat suit has been chosen. Gun confirms that
1:12:12
there's no no decisions made about the costume at all yet and reveals that he
1:12:18
still doesn't know which approach to that DC Studios
1:12:24
and the brave and the bold will take with the Batman with Batman's costume. The DCU head recalls being in a uh the
1:12:32
same position for Superman's costume until the last minute as other
1:12:39
discussions took higher priority. Uh read his comments down below. Says, you
1:12:46
know, there's no decisions made about the costume at all yet. I do like the
1:12:53
blue and gray bat suit, but I like the other versions, too. I like many
1:12:58
different versions. I'm a Batman super fan and I so I like all of the different
1:13:04
versions of the bat suit. I don't know what we uh are going to do. I didn't
1:13:10
know we were going to to do the trunks on Superman until the last minute on
1:13:17
this movie. Listen, I didn't know the trunks were going to be that important
1:13:22
until I took this job. Even Jim Lee came up to me and the first thing he asked
1:13:29
was, "What are you going to do about the Trunks?" And I'm like, "Really?" Like,
1:13:35
we're talking one of the most iconic characters in the history of the world,
1:13:41
and all we're talking about is his trunks, his underwear. I mean, we
1:13:46
haven't seen the Bat Trunks since the 60s as far as on camera goes. So,
1:13:53
I I wouldn't be mad if we if we got a, you know, gray and and blue batsuit with
1:13:59
the trunks and a yellow belt, you know. I wouldn't I wouldn't be upset by it.
1:14:07
What do you think, Doug?
1:14:13
He's muted, folks.
1:14:20
So, I don't know. I I think I think uh it depends on on the the There we go. Sorry, I couldn't get the I
1:14:27
couldn't find the screen again to unmute myself. Okay. I was uh my my I was talk I was chatting
1:14:32
with my wife. Sorry. I figured you were talking to either your wife or the kids. So,
1:14:37
it's all good. No worries. So, what do you think? Do you think they should have the the the gray and blue bat suit or
1:14:44
they should stick with the black? You know, they've never done the blue on in a movie, have they?
1:14:50
Not since 1966. Yeah, but not in the modern era. Like they No, it's always been all black. But
1:14:56
I mean, actually, wait a minute. There was uh the gray and blue in the Flash, but I
1:15:05
don't believe he had the trunks. It was that it was that it was the it
1:15:10
was the it was the scene where the Batfleck Ben Affleck's Batman was riding
1:15:17
the the bat cycle across the bridge and he was like zigzagging in and out of other cars
1:15:24
being thrown at him or something was going on. You say this like I remember that scene. I I I vaguely remember it myself. I mean
1:15:30
the only thing about that movie that really stood out to me was the fact that Michael Keaton was Batman again.
1:15:35
Right. That's the part that I remember that that's I mean I don't get me wrong I really did really like Ben Affleck as
1:15:42
Batman. I did. I thought he was the best second choice to to Michael Keaton. Like
1:15:48
if if I had to choose between any of the bats, it would be Michael Keaton then Ben Affleck. But if I had to choose
1:15:55
between all the actors, it would go Kevin Conroy uh you know Katon and then Ben then Affleck. So
1:16:02
Kevin Conroy is from the animated series. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, and the uh the Arkham games, the video games.
1:16:07
Oh, okay. Okay. I just got those, by the way, on on uh on Steam. Steam has the Arkham games for
1:16:14
like four bucks a piece, man. You can buy all of you can buy all the games and the on and all the DLC for
1:16:21
like like 18 bucks. Rumor has it that the uh
1:16:27
Xbox is going to be partnering with Steam and that kind of stuff so that I'll have access to the Steam market
1:16:32
through my Xbox. That'll be badass. All right. Yeah. Or at least on the next Xbox.
1:16:38
This next story I have here from the uh the Geek What's Geek this week was something that happened last week after
1:16:45
our show. And I was like, what's going what's what's this all about? I I clicked on I like oh that's really cool.
1:16:51
And what am I talking about, folks? Um, so there was like a a competition to to
1:16:57
to pick the next um Lego kit and uh
1:17:03
people would make their own custom Lego kit. And if you if you got over I think
1:17:09
10,000 votes, then your kit would become an official Lego set.
1:17:15
And this one is for the X Files. Now,
1:17:21
see if I can maybe pull this up on screen here.
1:17:32
Come on. There's my mouse. All right. Um,
1:17:40
where is it? G this week
1:17:46
and
1:17:53
See? Go. So, what are you looking for right now?
1:17:59
Oh, I'm trying to pull up on on the screen here so people who are watching the video can see what I'm talking
1:18:04
about. Here we go. All right. So, here it is. The uh X Files Lego kit. Me
1:18:12
resize this. So, if we were watching on YouTube right now, should we be seeing it?
1:18:18
Yes, it should be coming because I noticed I think I noticed this on the on a past episode too, like it
1:18:24
sounded like you were sharing stuff, but it was just showing the logo like the what's like right now. I I I hadn't done this before, but I I
1:18:32
decided I wanted to show this this kit. So, it right now it's just showing what's geek this week.
1:18:38
Um, yeah, hold on. Here we go. I wanted to get this right before I put
1:18:44
it on screen. Here we go. So, the kit is basically it is a a a
1:18:53
rectangle kind of box with a it's only a box in in that the the
1:19:00
bottom shape is a is a square. It's a box, but on top of it on top Oh, there it Okay, now it's coming up.
1:19:06
on top. It has like a a woodland scene with a UFO like beaming somebody aboard
1:19:11
the ship. And it I'm I'm guessing that this kit, depending on how many pieces
1:19:17
it has, will probably be about two or 30 hund bucks. It also looks like it could
1:19:23
be a pretty decent size kit, too. So, um, this is a X Files LEGO kit. Yeah. Yeah. And it has it has uh Fox and
1:19:30
Fox Moulder and and and Dana Scully and I think two or three other people in there as well. Let me look at it real
1:19:36
quick. Um, I saw this and one of my roommates is a massive like uh fan of
1:19:43
the show. Oh yeah, Skinner's in there. It looks like the smoking man is also in there. Um,
1:19:51
and there's an alien. So, I think that looks cool. And here's here's a here's a better shot of the of
1:19:57
the office. And uh it even has his I want to believe
1:20:03
poster on the wall, too. But, uh,
1:20:09
it says here, "Keep an eye out for more development news on the Wetwires the
1:20:15
X-Files Lego set. And for more, here's everything we know about Ryan Cougler's
1:20:20
upcoming reboot of the series. We talked about that a couple weeks ago, the reboot of XFiles." And uh, yeah, I don't
1:20:28
know. I think Vinkle is cool. It might not be a a big kit, so it may not be as expensive as I'm thinking, but it might
1:20:34
be um at the very least it'll be about 160 bucks, I think. So, but it looks cool. I
1:20:41
like it. If I had the money to buy it, I'll definitely buy it.
1:20:48
So, let's take that out. And we're back. Um so, that is I think the last of the
1:20:55
what's geek this week. That is it for that. So, we should move on to the uh
1:21:02
weird [ __ ]
1:21:07
weird [ __ ] where we dig up the craziest quirkiest stories that make you go, "What the heck just happened?" Buckle
1:21:13
up. It's about to get weird. All right, so this week's what uh that's
1:21:19
some weird [ __ ] I didn't have a lot to pull from. Uh, so one of the things that
1:21:24
I I was talking to somebody about like how difficult it's been to find weird stories because a lot of the stories
1:21:30
that come up in weird is all the [ __ ] that our government's doing right now. And I don't really want to continue
1:21:35
talking about that stuff in the back half of the show. Uh, yeah. So, a friend of mine was like, "What?
1:21:41
Haven't you ever heard of the black eyed children?" I was like, "What are you talking about?" Apparently, it's a paranormal thing. Uh, blackeyed
1:21:48
We talked about this last week. Oh, did we? Yeah. Oh, [ __ ] Okay, then I'll take that off the list and we will move on to the next
1:21:54
thing because I I I didn't remember if we talked about that or not. Um, set them up. I'll knock them down.
1:22:00
Excellent. Uh, flying car prototype. Did we talk
1:22:05
about that last? Um, no. But it makes me want to watch the flying car sketch between uh Dante
1:22:11
and Randall, right? Uh, have you you seen that? I have. I have seen that. So, basically
1:22:17
what this is, it is a quadcopter that is ridable, but it has a a body on it, so
1:22:25
it looks kind of like it could be a car. And uh I've seen a guy ride a quadcopter.
1:22:32
So, this one's like just standing on it. Yeah, this isn't like that. This is like it has a it has like a pod in the middle
1:22:38
where you can there's like a seat and controls and it has a like a body around it. So, it has like the shape of like a
1:22:45
kind of like a very generic looking car. Um, apparently the link I have for this
1:22:51
story is just a YouTube video. Um, so what the YouTube
1:22:57
Okay, it's a short even. It's not just a video. It's a short. Here we go. Here's the actual video which will have like a
1:23:05
description and stuff I can talk about. Uh, it says uh it's got 40,000 views. uh
1:23:11
was posted 3 months ago says new car from LF Aeronautics. So
1:23:17
some of these look like AI images or CG. And that's one of the things that people they comment in the video about like
1:23:24
it's not CGI, it's not AI. Uh, and it shows his car like in in a position
1:23:30
where it's it's in traffic or it's simulated traffic where there's a bunch of cars in a in a driveway and he does a
1:23:38
vertical takeoff and moves in front of the car that's in front of him and then lands in front of the guy. Um, the video
1:23:45
itself is about four minutes long. Um, it does like an intro. talks to the
1:23:50
founder of the of the company that makes this car uh and they talk about the competitors
1:23:56
and the operating modes and uh uh model zero ultralight which I don't
1:24:03
know what that means but it sounds like it's an ultralight is like an ultralight aircraft right it's so it's basically a backpack with a
1:24:10
fan and a and a and a parachute yes that's say I don't know if I want to
1:24:16
ride in this thing but now watch the video It's It actually looks like a
1:24:22
I am That's what That's They all look fake to me except for like maybe this one shot at the very beginning, but then
1:24:32
who knows? I mean, the the Olaf Aeronautics flying car prototype.
1:24:38
Yeah, it could just be one of those things that looks so unnatural that it looks fake. it. I mean, the the the the opening video I
1:24:45
see is him flying over the white car and there's lots of lots of dust being blown everywhere and uh
1:24:53
it looks like a giant model like helicopter with a with a car skin on it.
1:24:59
But uh I don't know. I it it looked interesting enough to talk about.
1:25:04
It's very cool. like if it's if this is real like like I I it's I mean even just
1:25:10
as a prototype like as a concept it's it's very interesting like are we going to have to start dealing with because
1:25:16
even if whether it's this car or it's like this guy that is on TikTok who flies around on his hover pad and uh
1:25:24
well he got a ticket because he touched down at a red light when he shouldn't have. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, and like I said,
1:25:32
the it's been difficult to find, uh, uh, you know, some weird [ __ ] stories.
1:25:39
So, um, the next one is about a bear who
1:25:44
gets trapped inside of a truck in Colorado. Uh,
1:25:49
oh, yeah. So, a bear managed to get too close. Uh, weird.
1:25:55
A bear managed to close itself inside of a parked car in Colorado and demolish the interior of the vehicle before being
1:26:02
freed by a sheriff's deputy in Jefferson County. Sheriff's office shared body
1:26:09
camera footage recorded by a deputy summoned to the location in the foothills. Oh, there's a bear in there.
1:26:18
Come on. Uh, the deputy can be heard saying after peering through the window.
1:26:25
Oh my god. This is why you lock your car door, man.
1:26:31
This [ __ ] doesn't happen if you if you keep your doors closed and locked.
1:26:36
I'd be more worried about I'm watching the video right now. I'd be more worried about people driving off of my car than
1:26:42
Hi. Which the red one? I'm watching the video right now. Are
1:26:48
you able to share it? Oh, there's a bear in there. I I'm playing the audio from it. Thanks for showing them so fast.
1:26:53
Yeah, no problem. Oh, so here's what we're going to do. I got a rope.
1:27:00
So, I'll just tie it to the door handle. Skip ahead.
1:27:06
Tighter door handle. Just going to pull the door open from
1:27:13
like 10 ft away. [Music]
1:27:20
I'll be I'll be sharing this video on our on our Facebook page. [Music]
1:27:26
Come on. Go on.
1:27:32
Go on. That that poor bear just got stuck in a
1:27:38
car and then like he wanted to get out so trying. It's like what are you supposed to do if
1:27:44
you leave food in your car and the car unlocked? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hopefully these
1:27:50
people have learned a lesson about locking the car door and not leaving
1:27:55
uh or leaving don't leave the door open and having food in your car to attract
1:28:02
animals into your car. So yeah, that bear has detailed that car.
1:28:08
Yeah. And and not in a way that is preferable to the uh to the owner, I think. All right. Uh
1:28:17
this next one, this is definitely one of the ones that I Okay, this definitely falls into the that's some weird [ __ ] is
1:28:23
uh medical clinic pleads uh people to stop bringing in
1:28:30
unsolicited samples, urine samples.
1:28:35
What? Um, a a medical clinic in Scotland has asked
1:28:42
local residents to stop bringing in inappropriate or unsolicited urine samples.
1:28:48
The Sultan Surgery in Fraserboro, Aberdeenshshire
1:28:53
said on social media that doctors and medical staff at the clinic have been un
1:29:00
inundated with a high volume of unsolicited urine samples, often in
1:29:06
non-medical household containers instead of sterile sample containers. Please be
1:29:11
advised, we are no longer able to accept urine samples unless they have been
1:29:17
specifically requested by the practice. The post said this change is necessary
1:29:25
due to the high volume of inappropriate or unsolicited samples being submitted
1:29:31
which affects our ability to provide timely care to all patients.
1:29:38
I mean, what what what I what I want to know is
1:29:46
what instigated this. Why all I got to got to know?
1:29:51
Does it say down further if I keep reading? Probably does. And I'm just I'm I'm I'm I'm exhausted from reading that,
1:29:58
man. I just a British Medical Association Scotland
1:30:05
representative explained doctors need to perform exa an examination before they
1:30:10
can interpret urine test results. Each unsolicited sample handed in requires
1:30:18
time and medical supplies to test in practice. contact the patient for
1:30:24
information and then interpret the results and or send away for further testing. The
1:30:31
representative told SC STV, which I'm sure is some sort of uh cable network or
1:30:38
something. Uh, one doctor speaking anonymously to the Times of London said
1:30:43
multiple clinics have had to put up signs asking patients to not bring in
1:30:48
unsolicited urine samples. We really, really want patients to speak to a clinician for proper medical assessment
1:30:56
before we ask them to bring in a sample, the doctor said. And when they do, we
1:31:04
will issue them a sample bottle to return rather than a random domestic container, which can sometimes be
1:31:11
inappropriate. Oh my god, what are people pissing into that they're bringing to the doctor's
1:31:17
office? I want to know, but at the same time, I don't want to know. Oh, man. Because I
1:31:24
know the I know it's going to be disturbing, but it's also going to be really, really, really funny.
1:31:29
All right. The doctor said that the culprits are often older patients seeking to be tested for urinary tract
1:31:36
infections without first contact, without first consulting a medical expert.
1:31:41
So, so they're just showing up with a jar of their of their urine going, "You got to check my pee. I think I have an infection. You got to take a look. You
1:31:48
got to do it. Hey, you're Yeah, you're you're a doctor, right? Does this Does it Does
1:31:53
this Does this look infected to you? Does this look infected to you? And there's He's pulling up a jar. He's pulling pulling down his pants and
1:32:00
showing his left butt cheek. Does he look infected? Yeah. Sorry.
1:32:06
That's not my impression of Scottish people. That's just my my impression of someone who's really really intoxicated
1:32:12
trying to show his butt to the doctor cuz that's what I think of when I think of pe Scottish people bringing in jars
1:32:20
of piss. God, you know, somebody set them up to
1:32:26
do that, right? You know that somebody he's like, you know what' be really funny is if you brought in a mason jar
1:32:31
full of urine or just a flat of or what would be better is if
1:32:37
you brought in a a a used condom filled with piss. That is not what a condom is for.
1:32:44
Right. Oh man. All right. Well, uh and then the last story I have here,
1:32:53
this is it for today, guys. Uh, over 300 people in T-Rex inflatable
1:32:59
costumes race like horses at Washington State Racrack. Yes.
1:33:06
T-Rexes like horses. Yeah. Emerald Downs Racetrack in Auburn,
1:33:12
Washington, held their hilarious T-Rex World Championship races on June 28th,
1:33:18
2025, where over 300 people from across the United States and Canada wore T-Rex
1:33:25
costumes and raced against each other like horses after being released from the gate.
1:33:32

1:33:38

it's Auburn, so I'm not entirely surprised. Um, so I've I've seen this do I've seen them do
1:34:14
this at like minor league ballparks for baseball, and they this this is a thing.
1:34:19
This is a thing that's definitely gets done on the regular. It It says here that this race began in
1:34:25
2017 as a team building exercise for employees of Trigard Pest Control, and
1:34:31
it grew from there. In fact, Andrew Stuber of Houston, Texas, who won the
1:34:36
men's championship in its original member is an original
1:34:42
member of Trigard. Uh, okay. I guess there's another video down here, but
1:34:48
yeah, it's those inflatable T-Rex costumes and uh several videos here. Oh
1:34:54
