So, is it youth walkouts or youth punch outs? >> [laughter] >> Will the youth save us, Mike? That's the question I have for you. Hey everyone, uh you guys can also answer that in the chat. Welcome back to Protected Serve. Uh the adults are not in the room and I think it's the youth. You said you think the youth are going to save us. Tell me more.
Yeah, no. I mean, I you know, every once in a while I'll peruse the old Instagram uh stories and a couple stories popped up. One inspirational one that I sent to you where I don't know if we have those clips, but uh All right, that's great. I actually bought that t-shirt. Um it should be here tomorrow, hopefully. I can't wait. Uh but there was there was another one that I was going to start off with that was uh you know, this kid testified, I think it was either at a school board meeting or uh at a at a local uh city council meeting where he's talking about you know, the the fear um that uh that his fellow students, especially those that were either immigrants or children of immigrants, were experiencing at the hands of ICE and ICE agents that had showed up uh at his middle school um and at the local high school, which is a port.
Um but then we have uh this fine, upstanding young man who I'm sure many of you have seen the clip. Uh his school head organized a walkout um in support of the local immigrant community and condemning the violent actions of ICE agents. And there's always one. Uh there's one kid that shows up and, you know, clearly antagonizing the other kids. He's got his little pro ICE sign and he's going around, "I'm pro ICE. I support ICE. I support ICE. And listen, in normal times, Maya, you know, counter-protesting, fully support that. You know, I've been in a lot of protests, >> [clears throat] >> and whether whatever the issues are, I don't I'll just throw out, you know, pro-life versus pro-choice. You know, these are two legitimate sides to an argument. Mhm. Going showing up to a anti-ICE walkout, supporting ICE in its current condition, uh you are saying I support the kidnapping, uh the unlawful detention and deportation of the immigrant community. You're being a [ __ ] jackass. And uh you know, >> [clears throat] >> kid [ __ ] around and he found out. That That he sure did. And I know a lot of people had, you know, we've had a lot of conversations on when is it okay to punch a Nazi? And I think the resounding answer across the internet is uh it's always okay to [laughter] punch a Nazi, is I think what people said.
Um I had So, this school, Lake Zurich, I think it's Lake Zurich High, is uh in Illinois, not too far from where I grew up. I grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago. Lake Zurich is a northern suburb of Chicago, a wealthy suburb of Chicago. So, I don't think there are too many families in Lake Zurich that are being negatively affected by undocumented immigrants. I don't think those families are suffering. And I dug into the story a little bit, and it turns out uh it's a a little junior right-wing provocateur who is just doing it for internet clout, the whole uh I support ICE, I support ICE. And in the clip, I'm sure you'll see where when the uh law enforcement shows up, he's like, "Is it okay for me to be doing what I'm doing? Is it cool to be doing what I'm doing?" And so, our question is, will the youth save us? And the youth right now, we've got like the sort of far-right youth, the looksmaxers of the world, the one who look up to Andrew Tate, and then we have these young empathetic youth who are I think doing a great job holding their own. But, what I'm concerned about is how we are as as adults, right? We're we're the adults in the room, and what are they seeing from us? Because I'm seeing kids walk out of high schools getting in Atlanta, and they're getting suspensions for walking out to protest ICE. There was a woman that a parent that was on a group chat in North Carolina, North or South Carolina, I can't remember, who was recently arrested, I think yesterday, simply be for being on that group chat that was organizing a walkout, an elementary school walkout to protest against ICE.
But before we go there, I want to talk just briefly about, you know, this because MAGA world loves masculinity and they fetishize violence as being, you know, one in the same as as acting masculine. But yet, you know, you really see >> [clears throat] >> you see this kid who's participating in this walkout. He's being antagonized by by this other kid who's filming it, by the way, because exactly like you said, he's a provocateur and he's doing it for clickbait. Um, but here you see a kid who's who's being a protector. This is a kid who is participating in this protest, not because of him, cuz he's white kid. But because he cares about his community and he cares about his neighbors. Um that is, you know, the most masculine trait. I've got four daughters. This kid made me, you know, if if I had a son, I would want him to be exactly like him. Um he's a protector. Well, >> And and the soft kid is a [ __ ] He's a [ __ ] He cry He whines. Oh. And then he goes and stands over in the corner. I You know, it it just it it boggles my mind that people would look at that and they would say that uh this little provocative, you know, and I and I've experienced it countless times. You know, these people that approach me and their cameras are out and they want to bait you into a viral moment. Well, guess what? You got your [ __ ] viral moment and I don't think you came out on the top side.
Well, and there's a content creator who I love. I think it's uh Dad Dad Briefs and he's known for saying be kind and wash your behind. And he had a great video on this because it is the the right wing will say at the same time, oh, uh progressives are weak, leftists are weak, but at the same time also say that we're very violent. And so I what I really liked about this creator is he reminds people that sometimes there are consequences for your actions and that's what is really an important lesson that uh people on the right need to learn right now is that by not punching you, that's us showing restraint. It's not that we don't have the ability to punch you. And if it's in defense of democracy, which right now it very much feels like it is, uh and especially when it comes to ICE because so many people are being taken and held illegally right now. There are people who are in detention centers who should not be there. The typical policy was to let people out who are on bond. And right now, people are being detained waiting for their cases to be heard and in facilities that were never meant to hold as many people as they're being held. So, it's it shouldn't be too shocking when people are resisting in all sorts of ways to be able to keep somebody be from being disappeared into one of these centers when we never know when they actually might have their day in court.
Yeah, and I mean, speaking of day in court, there have been literally uh 1,400 instances in which ICE has ignored court orders. Uh and so, again, you know, you're dealing with an agency that is lawless, unconstitutional, and unaccountable to the American people. And so, I completely understand and empathize with uh the anger that many Americans are experiencing because they're witnessing these atrocities committed by this agency. Well, it definitely it messes with your psyche. And these are in them and with the youth, like they don't technically they don't have the same ability to uh process their emotions that adults should have. But, they're sitting around looking at us going, "Hey, when is the legislation going to happen? When are we going to put a stop to this?" Because the diversity in our high schools is is much higher than the diversity I would say in our adult population. Meaning that a lot of these kids are used to having friends of different races. Um which was very different from when I think you and I grew up, where you know, people didn't necessarily have these diverse friend groups. And so, everything that is happening with ICE is affecting uh these children regardless of whether it's directly affecting in their families. And so, I think that's important to remember and how are we amplifying their voices? Because all I'm seeing in the news is they're talking about the walkouts, but they're not talking about how important youth organizing is to actually make a difference. So, going back into to the '60s and '70s, college students would help uh high school students organize and resist. And that's how we were able to win a lot of our civil rights is because yes, the youth come together and teach each other how to organize. I mean, the uh Southern Leadership Conference, that was those are student organizers. Uh you know, the Black Panthers, those were student organizers. I think sometimes we forget how important they are, and uh this government, this regime certainly hasn't forgotten how important they are because the attempt to repress them uh left and right is is constantly happening, and I feel like I'd like to see I'd like to see more amplification of of their message and and what they're doing because they're willing to put it on the line, and I certainly don't want to see them suspended for walking out of class on a Friday.
Yeah, I mean, no, that's that's ridiculous, but I mean, unfortunately, uh I think everybody that uh that stand stands up and and speaks out in this moment, regardless of whether or not you're uh you know, acting within your con- First Amendment constitutionally protected rights, um you're going to experience uh uh some deal of um of pain. Um and that that's just an unfortunate reality. I mean, the you know, the kids are not uh not unfortunately not going to be exempt from that. Uh but, you know, again, I think it's um I I'm Yeah. My daughter came home the other day and said that uh you know my my 14-year-old that her class was organizing a walkout. It was completely organic and it came from you know other students within the school. Which I thought was was amazing. And so yeah, I'm it's important. Well yeah, and also they're at the same time seeing which we're going to talk about the Epstein files and Prince Andrew obviously on his birthday got arrested today. They're seeing adults get away with heinous crimes. And so it probably makes little sense to them the cognitive dissonance of seeing adults get away with heinous crimes and families innocent families being deported and detained. And so kids are going to are so quick to call people out on their [ __ ] So we're finally seeing some accountability come out of Epstein files just not I hear. Just not here. >> [laughter] >> Just not here.
Yeah, no. I mean you know it It's never been more clear to me. People always ask me after I left the police department and even towards the latter half of my career like do you think that the American criminal justice system is systemically racist? And I would tell them that wasn't my experience. Um Do I think that there is you know a a byproduct of some of the other systemic problems is you know racism? Yes. But I think the biggest problem that we have in America is that the wealthy and the powerful get away with crimes that normal people regular people can't get away with. And it has to do with their economic access to uh defense counsel but also the connections that they have within the government and we're seeing that play out in real time here in America. You have accusations that are being leveled at the president of the United States some very heinous accusations uh that were documented in FBI 302s, official reports, that were never investigated, never followed up on. And they allege conduct you know, as as despicable as raping underage children, pedophilia. And no accountability. You have a president who according to Jamie Raskin who has viewed the unredacted files is mentioned more than a million times. Not the 38,000 times that we know because that portion is unredacted. But more than a million times. And you see the accountability that's being leveled all across the world for much less than that. Mhm. But yet here in the United States nothing. Zero. And I I think about that. Today I I put on Blue Sky because also today the former president of South Korea was sentenced to life in prison. Now he was up for the death penalty for their insurrection and for imposing martial law for a brief period. But they sent sentenced him to a year in prison. And I ask myself, do we as Americans, like what percentage of Americans believes and thinks that a president can actually be held accountable? To To me it's almost like the four-minute mile. Like until somebody actually broke the four-minute mile, nobody thought it could be done. And then it then it happened. They did the four-minute mile and then athletes started doing the four-minute mile all over the place. So maybe we just need to see one billionaire pedophile go down and then we can see the rest of the pedophiles go down. Is that the way it needs to happen? Or is everybody in this US so buried in local politics that they're missing the fact that the royal family, I think King Charles was like, well, I guess justice has to take its course. The king, an actual king versus our president king. Uh if if they're able to hold a royal or a former royal since his title was stripped, I believe that happened even uh before the files were released. If the royals can hold their own to account, what what what gives? What what is it going to take from public opinion or people for it to happen here?
I I mean I I don't know if I answer that question, Maya, because we don't have a Department of Justice anymore. You know, we have all of these quote-unquote accountability agencies, investigative agencies like the FBI, um you know, prosecutorial agencies like the Department of Justice that are run by Trump sycophants. Also, by the way, the majority of these people were themselves involved in either investigations into Jeffrey Epstein at one point like Alex Acosta and Pam Bondi. I mean, I remind everybody, Pam Bondi was the Attorney General for the state of Florida when Jeffrey Epstein was prosecuted uh and when he received his sweetheart deal uh and was allowed to plead guilty to of all the things that are alleged, all the misconduct that that are in those files, he was allowed to plead guilty to statutory rape of a 17-year-old uh woman, young woman. Um Girl, if she's 17, she's still a girl. Like I'm thinking like my daughter was just 17. She's a child. I I'm [clears throat] using the term colloquially. I call my my daughters, you know, women. But, I And he was allowed to do that so that all of these different people who are also in the Epstein files can say, "Well, you know, Jeffrey Epstein like yeah, he had sex with a 17 and 10-month-old." Mhm. As if that excuses the behavior, but it also it's turning a blind eye to all the other weird, creepy, disgusting, you know, abhorrent [ __ ] that Jeffrey Epstein is accused of having done and and it allows his friends to say, well, you know, he was yeah, he had sex with a 17-year-old. Um I think Alan Dershowitz was one of his biggest defenders and also one of those most mentioned for his close relationships to Jeffrey Epstein before, during, and after he was charged with with those crimes. And so Go ahead.
Well, I'm going to say no, cuz it reminds me of how things change culturally because a lot of these men are thinking, well, hey, everybody was having sex parties with minors at the time. Everybody was like I think about Bill Cosby's sort of part of his defense is that everybody was partying with Quaaludes in the '70s and and and '80s and drugging people and I'm like, not everybody, just the bad people. The bad people were doing that. And so I think a lot of these people are it wasn't they didn't think I think it was it Lutnick was it Howard Lutnick that said it's not a crime to party with Epstein? Um I believe it was he was No, no, it was Todd Blanche. Todd Blanche. >> Blanche who said that? And actually yes, it is. It's it's a if you were at a party and crime is happening and you're participating in you're in the party just cuz you're like, oh, I'm in that room or no, like trafficking of people is is happening and so sometimes I just think some of these people are so rich that they're so out of touch and have no idea that the rest of society right now that public opinion has shifted because before Kid Kid Rock was able to sing about having sex with 16 or 17-year-olds. What was it that he said the lyrics of the song as long as there's hair down there? >> It was younger than that. It was you know, if there's hair down there, play ball. Um or grab >> permissible. Like that was permissible in our culture to be in a song. It's It's permissible in MAGA culture for a person like that to be their president, to perform at their little halftime show. Like child marriage is permissible in MAGA culture because I want everybody to take a step back and think about this because it really is about the ownership of women and the ownership of the means of production. So to them, as soon as a girl is fertile, as soon as she's able to bear life, I think in the sort of Christian nationalist child marriage bride sort of wing, they're like she's fair game. Like she is of her she's her father's possession until we marry her off to her husband and then she's her husband's possession. And so we can do whatever we want with her. And I think that's what's at the the baseline of this entire culture.
Yeah, no. I mean you start to see that pattern as you brought up in you know, Christian nationalism in this country which is the undercurrent for the entire MAGA movement. And you know, it's this idea they they're taking away women's rights. They're taking away, you know, autonomy the right to autonomy over your own bodies. They've they've done that now in in the United States and many states have you know, prohibited this you know, medical care for for women. Um but they are they're there's a a openness to their the idea that women should are are subservient. They should be essentially property. They don't deserve or should not have the right to vote. I mean, you hear this first in in some of the fringe groups in the MAGA movement, and now it's you know, there are there are people who are prominent figures in, you know, politics in the in the Republican Party who have expressed that belief um openly. And that's why they don't care about the Epstein files. It's because they only they don't care about women, actually. They don't care about girls, actually. They cared about hoping to punish the cabal that they thought was an all Democrat uh that was just the Clintons. Once they found out it were their folks, oh, okay. Never mind. We don't care about anymore. We're going to And then it's like, no. We're actually not going to move on from this. And like nobody it it surfaces every week, probably every day, J.D. Vance's tweet about how how interesting it is that there was reports of this cabal, and now nobody talks about it. And yet, this man is able to move freely about society, go to the Olympics, and not have the like He has a He has a tremendous amount of security that surrounds him. And, you know, uh cuz listen, I believe in freedom of speech, freedom of thought, opinion, whatever. But, I also believe in [ __ ] around and finding out. Uh and you know, right now, you look at look at this entire administration. They're hiding on military bases. They're living on military bases because they're afraid of accountability by the American people. You know, yes, J.D. Vance can traverse throughout, and I, you know, I wish I mean, he was booed relentlessly at the Olympics. Uh he has to know that the vast majority of not just Americans, but people on the planet, human beings, find him repulsive. Loathe. Repulsive. And but you know, he hides in his bubble just like the rest of these people, unaccountable to the American people. Um you know, and and that's how they exist. And but the Obamas got a standing ovation at at the All-Star game meanwhile. [laughter] So, they're able to live their lives fairly openly and and be being celebrated right now while everybody in the Trump adminis- well, and here's the thing. I when I think about the Trump administration, I think about the people that they've put in place and then I think about the people they wanted to put in place but were too egregious that that Gaetz. Exactly. That's exactly what I was thinking about. Can we talk about Matt Gaetz cuz I don't even know what he's doing right now. Is he at OAN? He's a commentator? OAN, he's um oh, how the mighty have fallen. Um although you know, he's getting his free paycheck and he gets to go on air once a day and rant uh about you know, what the [ __ ] ever but um yeah, I mean oh, how we have forgotten in this you know, mess of information and and you know, chaos but Matt Gaetz, somebody who uh was alleged to have and I think the ethics committee found that that he had actually done this but um he engaged in paid for sex with I think it was a 17-year-old. And then drove her across multiple state lines for the purposes of her engaging with sex with him and and allegedly with others as well. Uh and so, that was a person who number one, some some community in Florida thought he was worthy of representing them in Congress. Um another place I would prefer never to [ __ ] visit. Uh and then >> [clears throat] >> he was Donald Trump's pick for Attorney General of the United States to head the Department of Justice. You know, Donald Trump has just surrounded himself with people from the Epstein files. Um, and and people that engage in sex acts with underage children. It's actually insane to hear you say it because even though I hear it every single day and I read it every single day, I cannot believe that as a society that we've gotten to the point where we are talking about it openly because this is something that you could not talk about openly. And maybe maybe we're in a sort of transition point where it's the uh, the degrees of grieving uh, because in order to get to the point where there are prosecutions and people are being held accountable, in America, we do have to get to the point where we say, oh, this is actually happening because I think there's some sort of exceptionalism where a lot of people are like, oh, well, we're we're high ground, moral, good people. The people running our country, the people running our companies are good people. But I remember seeing a study that something like one in four CEOs are have psychopathic traits or are psychopaths and I believe that study. I mean, I believed it then, but now I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, definitely because If you can run a company and be paid millions upon millions upon millions of dollars off the backs of people that are making 12, 15, $17 an hour, I don't give a [ __ ] you know, what the circumstances. You're a [ __ ] scumbag. If you're a billionaire in this country, I don't know any billionaires that got there um by being good people. At some point in time, you got there by stepping on somebody else's face. And so >> Taylor Swift fans would be like except for Taylor Swift. >> [laughter] >> I'm not I'm not I don't >> many people that got there organically in the in that manner in which, you know, she took a talent and then capitalized on that and, you know, listen >> [clears throat] >> I heard she's a very generous person. Uh I'm just not a person that believes that there should be billionaires uh on Earth. Um I just don't know.
>> And I think what's happening right now is exposing why, right? Like nobody should be above the law and wealth, the way it works in our society, is as long as you pay off enough people or you have a circle of people around you who want to get something from you, regardless of whether you're you're you pay that person off. If as long as people want to get something from you, they're not going to hold you accountable because that's how we we do wealth in our society. And it think it's making anybody happy right now. I think that I can't remember what the numbers were on optimism in American society, but they're pretty low right now. But my optimism is high because I do feel like everything takes it's a process and I think seeing Prince Andrew go down, I think that is going to give us more reasons to call for accountability. And you know, even the fact that Matt Gaetz did have to walk away and step down from being considered shows that they do have some sort of line. Well, I would say this. I think Matt Gaetz had to step down not because he had sex with an underage girl and trafficked her. Matt Gaetz had to step down because the vast majority of people on the Senate just [ __ ] didn't like him as a as a the Uh I think it it had much more to do with um his personal relationships than it had to do with his misconduct. Uh which you know I mean that doesn't give me as much hope. But I would say listen, I do I think that the American people are going to demand accountability for the Epstein files? I mean, we see that happening every day. But do I think it's going to happen under this administration? Absolutely not. There will no never be any prosecutions of any individuals uh under Pam Bondi and her corrupt Department of Injustice. Um there will never be any prosecutions or investigations under Kash Patel's corrupt FBI. It's just not going to happen. It's going to take you know uh a change. Um but you know, my fear too is that uh you know, we have a lot of establishment Democrats, you know, people like Chuck Schumer uh who I don't know if they have an appetite to prosecute um you know, those individuals, to push for accountability against those individuals. I mean, here's a guy who's been pretty [ __ ] quiet, eerily quiet uh recently. And maybe it's because he realizes that people just don't like him and want him [ __ ] gone. But yet he shows up for work every day. Um he hasn't announced, you know, plans to retire. Um and then and that and that that gives me cause for concern that we have a lot of Democrats that don't have an appetite to um to pursue justice and and accountability.
Yeah, I was going to say right now we have the dream team of Ro Khanna and uh Massie and that seems to be in as two people in all of this. Yeah, 400 [ __ ] people in Congress. And you've got two people that are spearheading this effort. It should be 400 I don't know, 30 some members of Congress Yeah. standing in line at the [ __ ] Department of Justice to take turns looking at that [ __ ] And then when they're done, they should get their little list of names and go right over to the House floor and read the [ __ ] names. Read the names and the context in which they are in these files. I'm tired of the illusion or the you know, alluding to like oh, there's some really deeply depraved things that are in there. Okay, great. What are What is it? I want to know. Show me the pictures. Show me all the [ __ ] that you guys are going over there and and gathering. Mhm. [clears throat] Put it out in the open. If you can't get the physical documents, then get on the House floor where you're protected Mhm. and talk about it. Right. And talk about them, but the problem is then the a lot of the media just sweeps it under the rug, right? So, a lot of names were listed. And I think there was a hearing less Wexner Wex uh the guy the guy from Victoria's Secrets and and he went out there and he said, "Oh, well, I didn't know that Epstein was doing all this stuff. I was and I'm like okay, wait. So, you made it to billionaire status and you didn't know what was happening in the uh inner circle of your finances? I mean, you guys were doing business together. You're telling me you didn't know the guy you were doing business with when you're a billionaire? You didn't know that guy was a part of a child trafficking ring? I'm sorry. I I don't buy it. And so, yes, I think they need to get on the floor and do that and push for that, but we also need to have uh I think a multifaceted approach that is the you know, people walking out. The general strikes that worked um that I think they did a couple of them day-long ones in in Minneapolis. And I think that kind of action from the people organized and coordinated is what's going to take in addition to because this I think it was Charlemagne the god and and Andrew Schulz on the podcast who said that if people keep saying oh well this would bring down society and it's like well then maybe society needs to come down if this if exposing everybody who's in these files and here's the thing it's not like Casey Wasserman he's selling his agency he's the guy who's the chair of the LA 28 the Olympics committee he's selling his sports agency but he's not facing any accountability other than that it's so it's not like this this idea that society is going to fall I don't think society is going to fall I think the bad people are going to fall yeah no I I I mean like there's lots of different types of accountability yeah I look at like the people that assaulted me on January 6th originally held accountable they were pardoned other forms of accountability is that they would become pariahs in society be unhirable and essentially lose all access to you know making it in America so to speak I mean I think that that's the level of accountability that I would like to see from from somebody like Wasserman is watching be you know financially destroyed and you know end his miserable life destitute you know drinking [ __ ] rubbing alcohol in some alleyway you know scratching himself because he's got [ __ ] scabies from sleeping outside I I think he should be forced to watch the RFK Jr Kid Rock promo video on loop >> [laughter] >> until he's driven mad. I think First of all, okay. Do you Have you seen Bram Stoker's Dracula? Yeah. You know the part where um Gary Oldman's character But you can put the photo back up there real quick. Where Gary Oldman where Dracula is like sort of like transforming um at the end. He's like kind of like dying and he's like all grotesque and pale and and like mis- like That's what I see when I see Kid Rock. Like, why are his arms long? Like, what's happening here? What is happening in this photo? I don't know. I I can't I always like Every time I see Kid Rock now, I see that photo like comes to mind where he's in the Oval Office with Donald Trump and he's wearing this like crazy Evil Knievel outfit and I remember thinking to myself like, "Wow. It's like as if if Evil Knievel did meth, that is [ __ ] Kid Rock." Um I don't I don't I don't I don't I just I never really cared for the guy. I thought he was like a [ __ ] talentless flop that just exploited different types of [ __ ] music and apparently is a you know, the Milli Vanilli of the TPUSA. Somebody just said, "Ew, take it down." >> [laughter] >> Look at it. Look at it. That's just I mean like there's a whole video which I've only watched it in passing. Um it's >> It's crazy. It it it is crazy. It it's crazy that anybody would um would put the I don't know if like sometimes I think like the content creators for for MAGA are like like secretly these like liberals that are like, "Ah, I'm just going to put this out because it's just so absolutely ridiculous and insane that no one would ever like everyone's just going to laugh at these two guys." RFK Jr. is a [ __ ] joke of a person. Um I mean it it There's no SNL skit. There's no uh This is the SNL skit. I mean SNL would they could never they they would never be able to put that It would be like a Dave Chappelle skit. This is a Dave Chappelle the OG Dave Chappelle show. This is some [ __ ] that Dave Chappelle would do where the like junkie [ __ ] worm brained uh nut ball son of you know, a great [ __ ] politician somehow weasels his way into politics and becomes the head of the What is it What is it the Health Health and Human Services Health and Human Yeah. Because that was it Somebody just trying to be ironic? Like there's no health, there's no human. Neither of it like there's neither health nor human in the health and human sec Like and like we think it can't get worse and in the back of my mind I keep thinking about the fact that they plan to do like a UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House like this year, I believe. And I'm like Why Why What did we do to be subjected to this? Is this the punishment that America gets from having made so much money off of slave labor? Is the And And why should I have to be subjected to this punishment as the descendant of of slaves? I don't feel like I should have to be subjected to a Kid Rock RFK Jr. America. What the No, no.

Um Yeah, I but you know it it If they want to turn the White House into more of a circus, I mean I'm pretty sure that when Donald Trump goes, we're just going to have to tear the whole thing the [ __ ] down. Um I mean he could he probably That that would actually be uh you know, a a great way to memorialize the end of his administration, hopefully the end of the MAGA movement is just to tear down the whole [ __ ] um tear down the whole White House and [ __ ] rebuild it. I was just saying but uh it sounds like Kristi Noem is planning a run for for president. She might object to that. She might want to live in that stench. I just hope, you know, there's somebody around her, maybe Corey Lewandowski uh can just whisper into her ear one night like honey, please don't do this. You You have already subjected yourself to like extreme levels of embarrassment and um like let's let's just bow out gracefully and take whatever crypto cash we were able to [ __ ] siphon off of this administration and you know I heard Epstein Island is for sale.

So we just have them all live there and and every once in a while you know you can live stream and and check it out and see what RFK Jr's up to and what Christine and Corey Lewandowski are doing in the bedroom and I feel like the producers of Big Brother are listening and they're like this is actually a pretty good idea. We're going to hear it.

What did you start out watching? I started watching The Wire. Greatest show ever made. You told me. I know, and I'm I'm I'm 20 minutes in and I was like, is everybody corrupt? Like that >> [laughter] >> was That's all I I got so far. I was like, oh, this is a show I have to focus on and I can't I I multitask too much. I watch shows with like my computer. I watch shows the way like Gen Z watches shows. Like So, the TV's on, have the computer open, have my phone, and and I'm scrolling and I'm going, wait, what just happened? Oh, wait, and then I was like, is that Idris Elba? Um, did you know he's in The Wire? Didn't know that. You know, for the longest time I thought that he was from Baltimore. He's a British. I mean, that was Yeah, he's British as [ __ ] but that was the only That was the only thing I'd ever seen him in at that time. And I was like, there's no way he could get this Baltimore accent down the way that he does. And it's the same thing with the I forget the guy's name that plays McNulty. I was like, these guys have to be from Baltimore. And then come to find out they're [ __ ] British with these crazy thick British accents, but uh man, did they nail the Baltimore um hon. >> [laughter] >> Well, there we have it, y'all. This is uh >> [laughter] >> We're we're very We're very grateful that we could talk to all of y'all especially about The Wire. I will let you know how what I think after the first episode. I can't believe how young Idris Elba was. Um, but I was also like, I can't believe I didn't know Idris Elba was in The Wire. I feel very out of the loop.
