How Did NBC Fail THIS MANY TIMES in One Week? - Unapologetic LIVE

and welcome to NPC I mean NBC news we here at NBC want all of the American people watching at home to know that we are constantly lying I mean trying to bring you what's blue I mean true guys can we fix a teleprompter let's do it again [Applause] [Music] [Music] welcome to Unapologetic live happy Friday guys hope you guys are having a good day and like always drop your weekend plans in the comment section down below my weekend is going to consist of I don't know sitting at home writing more dope introductory scripts like that one no we don't plan those over the weekend we always do them five seconds before we go live so that is true that would they would be robbed of their originality and spontaneity right if we did uh them over the weekend that is exactly right now we're gonna get into some media fails today uh which is just happening constantly leading into the midterms we probably won't talk too much about the midterms in voting we'll just wait to see how that pans out but NBC in particular has been having a pretty rough go of things when it comes to what their media personalities are saying the angles they're trying to go for when it comes to speaking to the American people and I hope it's not falling on deaf ears because it is actually hilarious we're going to start off with Joy Reed who says Republicans quote taught people the word inflation most people have never used that word ever in their lives of course she's saying this because a lot of Americans are concerned about the state of the economy in the present day and it's probably going to influence what they do at the polls in the midterms so here's what Joy Reid had to say about inflation as an issue if I ever heard you here use the word inflation are journalists and economists right so that is not part of the normal lexicon of the way people talk so it's interesting that Republicans are doing something they don't normally do right which is not used com the common tongue right not use just common English to sort of use do on their campaigns like they're doing with prime but what they've done is they've taught people the word inflation right most people who have never used that word ever in their lives are using it now because they've been taught it including on TV including in newspapers they've been taught this word and they they sort of wrap this word around whatever it is that they really want to vote you know the reasons they really want to the people I ever heard she can't even get it out because it's just so ridiculous what she's trying to say like you guys didn't know what inflation is I get it that we're all probably not economists walking around discussing the the state of inflation and how it's affecting our pocketbooks but we know that when we're going to buy gas and we're paying what did I pay the other day 688 per gallon of gas I think we can look at that and go I feel like there's a little bit of inflation happening right now or when you go to buy groceries and you realize that what you're getting from your your paycheck is not quite consistent with how much you're paying for the food that you're using to feed yourself in your family I think we can all recognize when we are we are dealing with inflation and of course it's a hot button issue because it's a hot button problem that everybody's dealing with right now and everybody's seeing and what a condescending thing to say that you've just been taught the word you're just parroting talking points from from the Republican candidates who are feeding you new definitions of apparently new words that are not a part of the American lexicon yeah gas isn't actually expensive it's just a right-wing conspiracy to make you believe it's expensive by teaching it's it's not the fact that things are actually unaffordable and it's 6 88 a gallon here in California it's just what the right wing is making you believe about these things and it's always what they do man it's so crazy I think like right off the top of my head think about what happened with critical race theory is we caught on to what they were doing in schools and we recognized the name of it was critical race Theory because it was a law theory written and practiced and taught that then got distilled down for young people and was placed in our public our public education system and then we went look there's critical race theory in the school check your kids Halloween candy for critical race Theory look for it because it's in there I swear they injected it in there and then they go we've never heard of critical race Theory it's only ever taught in Harvard you guys are just making up words or stealing words and then changing the definition and reteaching it to people and then accusing us of it we have not done anything wrong yeah we're definitely at the stage that's like it's not happening or yeah you're it's a conspiracy or something and pretty soon we're going to be at the yes inflation's happening and it's great and I think there actually already have been articles from The Washington Post where they're like you know you've seen a lower your expectations and inflation here's the good side of it yeah that type of thing we've already seen we've seen that Joy actually needs to catch up to the narrative here because she's a little just behind by trying to Gaslight us into the rest of the media has already kind of moved on so I think that's why this is so funny now I'm like they're gaslighting us like we should go to therapy for how hard they're gaslighting us they're quite literally trying to make you feel like you're insane they did the same thing with recession you remember the press secretary being like oh we're not in a recession we have a new definition of what that word means it's no longer two quarters of decline that's not a recession it's not anymore I don't know where you guys got that definition I don't know what economics class taught you that and we're like um it's always been the definition no no no no there's a new one so we're not there so don't use the word and anybody who does use the word is just Boogie Manning you who's trying to scare you and fear-monger you same thing with woman oh woman oh what is that oh no we changed that definition we changed the definition like what like this year Merriam-Webster changed the definition of woman and they're like I don't know what you're talking about when you say a woman anymore I don't know what you're referring to when you say inflation it's just a boogeyman dude come on and the like like I can't separate the condescending nature of her of her saying that they truly think that you are stupid enough to listen to them and go oh yeah I guess they did just make that up make sense because that's what right-wingers do they just make stuff up but then when you head to the grocery store and things are more expensive you go off supposed to turn a blind eye because Troy reads that it's not happening so that must not be maybe maybe MSNBC is sending you cash back in the mail we just haven't gotten it yet because inflation's not happening guys it's not affecting us at all and here's a tweet uh from unusual whales says 63 of Americans support the idea of new stimulus checks to combat inflation oh Lord according to a Newsweek poll and I I think like Matt Walsh responded to it I was trying to find his response I think I have it here uh what'd he say he said something like 63 percent of Americans uh support Krispy Kreme giving out Donuts to combat obesity it's literally the same thing and you know the the the view recently did this whole statement about Republican women and right-wing women and saying right-wing women are like roaches who are advocating for raid this tweet exemplifies that and of course the whole internet lit up and said how dare you call right-wing women roaches and all these things and I don't think that's exactly what she was saying I think she was going for an analogy so I'll give her grace in that respect but this is exactly what this tweet exemplifies 63 of roaches uh support raid yeah it is concerning that you know I think to the degree that Joy Reid meant Americans don't know what inflation means she may have a point here but this but Americans know that something is wrong with the economy and that's clear um so this to me this unusual Wells Twitter this Newsweek poll that says 63 of Americans want more stimulus checks just speaks to a very bad failure of our education system to let Americans know how what it causes inflation which is an oversupply of money and uh so anyways that that's concerning that people are uneducated on these issues but for Joy read to spin it as inflation is a white ring conspiracies is quite a stretch and that's the thing like of course people are going to become more educated on the circumstances that they're now facing if they weren't facing it previously they had no interest in looking up what inflation meant and even checked because I saw that and I thought okay let's check the Google trends for inflation and there's a clear uptick in people looking into the word and inflation this huge Spike here which I believe what is that in June of of this year and of course getting a little bit more as we're starting to talk about it in the news but of course people are looking up the things that they're dealing with and trying to understand what's happening because if I'm an 18 year old person and I'm used to paying I don't know three something for gas not here in California probably never had that in a very long time but if I'm used to paying three something for gas and then I show up a few months later to fill up my car and it's now five something I'm gonna go well maybe I don't have a word for what that is but what's going on and why are gas prices so high and then they go away gas prices are high due to inflation and then you go well what's inflation and of course people start to look it up and attribute it to something and try to find a source for their problems and or a simple definition of the problem that they're facing and that would be inflation so to make it sound as if Republicans are just boogeymaning people and injecting the word inflation into the America freaking lexicon it should be in the American lexicon anyways because we should all be informed on what that is and and the the possibility of that happening in in our time but it's because we're actually facing it yeah and hopefully we are getting educated on inflation so that we would not vote for more stimulus checks and pumping more money out of thin air into the economy which would exacerbate student loans and stuff yeah or free stuff for more people yeah but anyways thank you Joy Reed for that um and we all know it's not real inflation's not actually happening and everything's the same it's before in fact we're better off as a country than we ever have been before now let's look at this other one this one was wild Matt Walsh tweeted this out this is how NBC showed the NBC show New Amsterdam portrayed the overturning of Roe versus Wade it's honestly one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life unintentional parody great stuff is it going to be one of those things where it's like where were you when they overturned Rovers as well oh yeah where were you when the world stopped turning they're totally putting it in the same category as September 11th on this and I don't I don't mean to make light of of people's situations and people being worried about something like Roe versus Wade being overturned because I think there is space for genuine concern about that but when you see this New Amsterdam clip you will understand why I just giggled yeah we've talked about the the way the left catastrophizes everything this is catastrophization to the extreme to the extreme so much so that it you could easily mistake it for parody you really could let's take a look at it here we go [Music] you would think he's like standing over his dead father by looking into this guy's eyes cue soft piano music what a sad sad man oh and he's looking at his little daughter oh and she's smiling what's wrong Daddy [Music] oh and he's crushed oh the phone dropped I can't just wait [Music] they're getting the news here it comes oh everybody simultaneously is getting the news the slow motion coffee cup it's like an amber alert everybody's phone goes off oh gosh they're hugging each other [Music] dude the music I cannot are we meant to think that's a lesbian couple worried about this stuff I don't know maybe they're just a group of interracial friends okay we've got the daughter happily coming down the stairs another what's wrong Daddy what's wrong you have no rights my girl gone is that the end of it no there's more oh gosh there's more oh I have to run where's she going I don't know to her husband maybe I don't know where she's running [Music] I can't work right now can't deal with this news foreign [Music] everybody's in the same State of Shock like imagine if you saw this in real life you would think a plague was just Unleashed on the Earth yeah no one has a dissident opinion or has any Nuance about this it's everybody feels the exact same way [Music] wow dude there you have it folks I mean they they call it a dramatization for a reason because that is what that was I mean I obviously we saw some people who were pretty upset when Roe versus Wade got overturned like there's no denying that remember the tick tock compilations yeah oh my gosh it was unbelievable I mean like people shrieking in their houses alone while also putting their phone on a tripod to film it people scratching their faces yeah girls already set up outside the Supreme Court to be protesting but it's insinuating that we just went through this Collective era of just Peak sadness over really what is an overturning of something that was not meant to be handled by the Supreme Court and has now gone to the states yeah and the irony that this show is set in New York so maybe they all did collectively it doesn't change anything maybe in New York they did all collectively feel that way and there was a collective yes but in their State's laws are not going to change at all so it's not going to affect any of them that are freaking out like this or that dad with his daughter or anything so yeah oh my gosh it's like the yeah I don't know all I'm just saying is that is unbelievable I want to see what some of the replies are to this I'm actually scared I can't believe they actually included the slow motion dramatic cup drop that was already that was already a cliche in like 1995. that was very on the nose I mean all this it was very contrived it was like if SNL wanted to parody a situation like this although they never would but if they did that is what it would look like oh yeah all it was missing was like a Maga Republican like beating up a woman in the background and celebrating the news or something like that that's like the only way this could have been more on the nose a few white men cheering in the streets outside the Supreme Court is what we were missing exactly NBC do better do better because we deserved representation during this moment of uh Roe versus Wade getting overturned wow I don't have anything any other piece of commentary other than just wow that is insane anyways I don't know if that was a recent episode of New Amsterdam or this was something that they released closer to that decision I think it just came out okay um but it was about that yeah and I imagine yeah if it just came out it's probably pretty helpful for them to put out a message like that um at this time and I think we all know what's coming up uh in uh two days so I imagine that's why they felt the need to put out an episode like that if they released it this week because again we know Americans don't even know what inflation is they're not concerned about any of those issues they're just concerned about Roe inflation who never heard of her schools well they're not teaching critical race there anyways and they're certainly not teaching gender Theory uh crime never matter a cab am I right not concerned about any of that stuff just abortions and yeah I mean for young women that probably is what's going to happen you saw an uptick in registered young female voters when the whole Roe versus Wade overturned um in in gen Z but I wonder if they're actually going to turn out that's the thing because I can imagine there being a lot of heat in the moment and one being like I'm gonna go register right now and then the time comes and they're like the polling location's two miles away yeah that was kind of a hot take from you so you thought the Gen Z will not turn out to vote as much yeah I mean I I could be shocked you know this last this past election gen Z had a huge turnout and was like shocking so I think it could happen I struggle to think that Jen's ears view midterms as important as they view presidential elections and that they understand that those actually can and are in so many ways more important so I'm curious to see you also have mail-in ballots but I'm also like do they know how to send something in the mail dude yeah I mean I I don't have a checkbook so mailing things just feels like very Antiquated when I have to do it I'll be honest the only reason I know how to mail things is because I used to ship things for a business that I was doing a while ago a while ago so that's the only reason I really know how to mail things and I've never mailed anything since so does the average gen Z person know how to mail in a ballot and if they don't are they going to go to their polling location and vote I don't know I maybe I just like am super pessimistic about it and they actually are going to turn out and uh you know Lord knows there's a bunch of people trying to streamline the process for him now they're like you go on Instagram and it's like vote through Instagram you know are you are you done listening to caller daddy podcasts why don't you register to vote which is exactly since you're being so well informed on the issues through your content choices right right it's just like oh you like this person on Tick Tock what if Obama shows up in their Tick Tock which is so funny because it segues right into the next thing we'll get back to the NBC fails there are more there are more but wait there's more if you call now uh let's look at Obama appearing in people's tick tocks Monday night and here's what's happened me what are you what are you doing under my desk well under the desk is kind of my thing I mean but here's the thing you can stay for now but when it comes time to voting you're gonna have to get to because you've got climate change legislation on the ballot you've got gun safety and if we can elect more pro-choice members of Congress we can reinstitute Roe versus Wade as the law of the land so you can't stay here you're going to take a little bit of time to vote for now a bad time to say that I voted for McCain in 2008. as long as you voted go to iwillvote.com and I will see you at the polls it's Monday night I wonder how effective this is Tick Tock is a tool I understand why people are using it like I've seen other candidates start making like dance videos on Tick Tock and telling people to go out and vote and they hired and paid the girl from caller Daddy I forget what her name is but the girl who hosts that podcast uh probably a large sum of money for her to encourage her listeners to go out and vote mind you her podcast is typically about like having sex with guys and how to do it and who does it and talking to like gen Z celebrities and everything not to say that those type of people should not vote but it's just very clear um the the funding behind it and what they're trying to convey and who they're trying to get out to vote it's like uh that BLK music video that we watched of the black people dancing around and twerking and saying no voting no v u c k i n g in their music video to encourage black people to go out and vote it's just so interesting it's almost as if they feel they can't get people to show up based on the issues alone like people aren't motivated based on the issues and what you're presenting to them to go to the polls and if they're not you have to use things like tick tocks and what Billy eilish and the girl from caller Daddy to get people to vote are those really the people that you want out there doing it yeah and isn't it kind of uh posting your else to to say we want as many ignorant young people who are melting their minds on Tick Tock or that all we think of our audience is that they fall for this Tick Tock influencer nonsense like the White House intern or the no voting no stuff that's how highly we think of our voter base we think if we can get those type of people out to the polls then we'll win it's like is that really who you who you want to be mobilizing but the answer is yes because they rely on people who they by their own admission think are ignorant yep because they want they think that that'll get them to vote yep and then and then you add the add to that the whole illegal immigration thing dude it's wild it is wild what's going on and I'll give this person a little credit this woman here because she actually reports news on Tick Tock so I'll give her that and she's clearly left-leaning so I guess if you're gonna encourage people to vote hopefully it's people who actually are keeping up with the news and what's happening and know what they're voting for so I'll give her that but also like come on Billy eilish color daddy Olivia Rodrigo talking about who they're going to take care of it's just yeah Dylan Mulvaney Cooper the White House intern dearest the list goes on do you think that I was a woman that she really voted for McCain uh maybe I don't know I don't know why I I'll take her at her word yeah I guess it'd be a really random bit to throw in there if not but yeah that's interesting I'll take her out her word they've also been like parading around Oprah I think she went to Pennsylvania the other day to encourage people to to get out and vote and everything and they're just like look happy black person don't you guys identify with this and if you don't you ain't black I won't I don't need to tell you who said that you guys can figure it out Jack now let's move back into the NBC space and look at this NBC reporter saying that voter ID laws disproportionately impact trans people and it's so funny because in this clip is my girl Sophie Barron and she's actually a friend of mine runs a great organization uh called the conversationalist so you should definitely go check her out I'm not sure that she endorses the message that they uh then say after her appearance on NBC but cool girl check her out good to see you and as gen Z gears up to hit the polls transgender voters are concerned they might be blocked from casting their ballots yeah that's because a growing number of states are enforcing stricter voter identification laws that disproportionately impact the Community NBC out reporter Joe your Caba joins us now with more on this show good morning to you so first of all how can voter ID laws create obstacles for transgender people and where do we see some of the strictest voter ID laws sure yeah so voter ID law is disproportionately impact trans people because trans people are more likely to have IDs without the name that they go by and the gender marker that reflects how they present and Recent research shows that just over 200 000 eligible trans voters in uh 31 states that both conduct their elections mostly in person and require or request ID at the polls don't have IDs that reflect their gender identities and the names they go by um it's so funny okay so listen to what was just said there so they're saying that it's going to be a hard time for Trans voters because their IDs don't reflect the name that they made up to identify us so that's a problem for them and it also doesn't have the gender identity which they also made up on their ID cards and then she throws out this stat of what 200 000 trans people across the United States don't have an identification card that matches their name and their gender yeah duh of course they don't because most of these people have just adopted these identities in what the past few years so of course there's two hundred thousand trans people who do not have IDs that reflect that and again they're they're using this and they intro the issue as if this means there's a problem with ID laws not that there's a problem with the identity politics not that there's a problem with maybe identifying something that is not your biological sex but no it's a problem with the loss therefore we need to roll back the laws and it's interesting because we know they tried this really hard with black people they said voter ID is racist because black people don't have IDs and they're disproportionately going to be affected by this and then 69 of black Americans said no you should have ID and they pulled this and they said no uh we're not stupid we know how to go get IDs and if I want to vote I can get myself identified within the several year span that I have in order to go and vote in the elections that I feel are important so 69 of black Americans said what the hell are you talking about so now they're like oh can't use black people anymore they're waking up they're realizing that we're using them uh trans people trans people it's perfect because their presentation is not going to match the ideas which whose fault is that like if I go and uh make myself look like a man okay and dress like a man and then I show up to a voting poll uh my poll location with an ID that's a woman and they go oh you look like a man although I doubt they would say that I don't know how how far I can pass as a man but I'd be like oh that seems like it's my issue not your issue because we want election integrity and we want to make sure that we can validate who people are based on what they are presenting as and what their ID shows now I'd love to see uh post-election stats and numbers about how many trans people have been turned away from polls exactly because they're not addressing that at all she didn't say 200 000 trans people were turned away from their polling location when they arrived with their ID all she said is 200 000 trans people do not have an identification card that matches the identity that they chose which means nothing and is a non-issue assuming that they're all going to their polling location and voting and you can vote by mail now so what is the issue this whole segment just reeked of like something scripted and again we talk about catastrophization it's like making making an issue that's just not really an issue right um because like you said there's where's the evidence that someone has with an ID who is presenting as a different sex is denied at the polls now that may have happened on a very but I imagine it's a very small skill that they wouldn't even want to have that be the basis of this report and also to your point earlier like you know I just got married last year my wife had a change or changed her name I didn't have to chose to but they made her change her name but when we fly when we fly like you know you have to change it everywhere and uh she did what's traveling with her new name ID but hadn't updated in the system somewhere or whatever um but anyway she had to be prepared with both and she had to go through the process and get and and be prepared to present the the appropriate ID and be and anyways so she had to go through that and if you have if you as a trans person have that opportunity and haven't done it like then right yeah that's on you as well it's literally on you and you do have the the chance to to legally change your name yeah so I'm wondering what the concern is here are trans people being turned away we don't have numbers on that yet but I'm gonna go and probably say that that's not what's going to happen and if it does happen it'll happen very seldomly okay uh are they just afraid of being dead named or they find that that's offensive that they don't want to use their old name and if that's the case that's you problem not the problem with the polar of the uh polling location or or of voting or you know is it just that we want to launch another attack on voter ID so that people don't have to use it I ventured say it's number three because they keep trying they keep trying and if this one doesn't work out and it doesn't work with trans rights then they'll find some other some other reason that voter ID is racist sexist ableist I don't know they'll come up with an excuse because I think there's a vested interest in not having people identify themselves in an election year and we know that to be true so uh we'll move on if you guys can think of any other reasons why this might be a problem for for Trans people I I would love to know and I will definitely hear you out but I've heard nothing substantiated in this video and it just seems like Boogeyman for lack of a better word another nbcl and it's interesting that this the the energy here is something is happening that really isn't happening whereas Joy reads energy what the first story was something isn't happening inflation and things being unaffordable when it is and so it's like they're literally trying to Gaslight you both ways it's just all they deny deny deny deny deny deny Gaslight Gaslight Gaslight gas I guess like it's literally it who watches this stuff honestly it's there's nothing positive to run on there's nothing that they can say we did this and now you are better off that's it they have Roe v Wade to say uh we did Roe v Wade we tried to fight for you when it came to Roe v Wade and we we lost that battle so that's something that we tried to do for you guys but they have nothing else positive to report to you so they go bad people bad people bad people bad people and in boogeyman boogeyman also your concerns are not real they're not happening I've never heard of that oh you must be watching Fox News so how far is that going to get them I don't know and speaking of lgbtq Boogie Manning here is another NBC news article and the title is far right figures appear to be testing Twitter's boundaries for anti-lgbtq speech Elon Musk the new owner of Twitter has billed himself as a champion of free speech and vowed to prevent Twitter from becoming a free-for-all hellscape let's read in the few days since Elon Musk closed his deal to buy Twitter far-right users have started to celebrate what they hope will be the ability to freely use homophobic and transphobic rhetoric and make threats on the social media platform made up terms that also that's not reading into it at all far out users have started to celebrate what they hope will be the ability you're reading that into it you're just not reporting on Saturday former UFC fighter Jake Shields who has over 340 000 Twitter followers appear to be testing the boundaries of the company's moderation apparatus by posting a photo of a drag queen smiling at a young drag performer with the caption this is a groomer Shields added quote I was suspended for this exact tweet a month ago so we will see if Twitter is now free great test in my opinion something we all should be uh doing is is testing the bounds of our speech not to say that we should be saying things that we don't believe or purposefully being inflammatory but if there's something that you truly believe that you've been incapable of expressing on the platform before now is a good time to test whether or not you can do that now's a good time to test whether or not musk and this new team that he's going to be ushering in are actually going to uphold the Free Speech absolutism that he claims to want to uphold so yeah you're going to see a lot of far right that's that's their own characterization of people but you're going to see a lot of people who have been held back from saying what they want to say on the platform coming forth and saying hey I couldn't say this two months ago what about now duh duh this is what happens when you censor people what are you expecting it's like oh no I I opened the dog's cage and the dog ran out of the cage exactly breaking people say things that you might find offensive on the internet right like that's not a news story it shouldn't be but that's just speaks to they're so used to having a Stranglehold on what unpermissible speech you can only say what they're allowed to say you can only use the words that they say that you're allowed to use you can only support the narratives that they approve of and now that elon's throwing that out the window they're just grasping at straws to try to say oh well now it's just this place filled with hate and stuff it's like a place a free world is has people that you can find that are jerks and a-holes and say mean things but the alternative to trying to clamp down and suppress freedom is we've seen how that ends and it's much much worse exactly and then they go and quote Matt Walsh and try to get upset with him saying because he tweeted out laws are changing and public opinion is changing we have done all of this intentionally it was all part of the plan we laid out and executed and they're like this is an anti-trans plan anti-lgbtq plan this this is really important laws are changing which means with is within the systems that virtually all of us have agreed upon lawmakers are deciding that certain things are not okay in many states it's going to be transitioning children that's going to be deemed to be not okay and they hope very rapidly uh in in the the coming days so that means our systems are working right means we're coming to a consensus on things and public opinion is changing and NBC News is upset about public opinion changing they're upset about individuals being exposed to information that changes their minds on particular subjects and this is why they've relied on Twitter because they know they have a Stranglehold on the American mind and on public opinion if you don't release certain information to the public guess what they won't have that information and you effectively and immediately have a grasp on the public opinion and you can shape it and mold it in whatever way you see fit and suddenly Elon opens up the floodgates and goes hey now we're all able to share our arguments now we're all able to say our piece and people go oh that is actually BS what I was reading last week I actually don't agree with that and they go public opinion is changing we can't have it code red Code Red you know what this reminds me of like this is probably how the uh Catholic Church felt during the Reformation it's like oh no the people are getting scripture in their own language right how are we going to be able to control them right same energy it is the same exact energy but they don't want it they would agree with that they would agree with that they're too scared to have a comparison like that drawn against them and you would be bad enough to whatever saying that in their world Bobby yeah the the idea that more people have access to just information and the ability to speak if that scares you then you're probably on the wrong side of things right and that's exactly what it is if you if you are scared of other people sharing their opinions is probably because you don't feel as though yours or that sound exactly you've been pulling the wool over people's eyes for a really long time which is why they're so aggressive in teaching their ideology to children because children are incapable of of advocating for themselves and capable of shaping critical critical thinking uh in in these arguments and in responding with critical thinking skills even though they're really not because I've seen a lot of kids be like that's not a girl so kids do know out of the mouth mouths of babes as they say Kids Say the Darndest Things uh so they're not totally incapable but they certainly are far more vulnerable than adults are and they're just scared across the board of you learning uh what it is that they already know and they've been hiding from you if your BS is so transparently BS that a kid can call it out then maybe it's time for you to hand over the keys and just like okay you guys had your run it's over and you're this is right public opinion has turned against you and it should yes it very well should and Elon Musk is not done yet here is the uh article out of the daily wire read it Elon Musk sends blunt message to 3700 fired Twitter employees Elon Musk the incoming owner of the social media platform I lost the first second but we're still good okay good notified thousands of employees whether they would be staying at the company or departing oh there it goes oh my gosh we always have the screen go up okay so Elon Musk essentially has dismissed 3 700 employees out of these uh 7 500 employees at Twitter it says some manager some managers had been asked to create lists of employees to fire with the layoffs slated to occur before employees are scheduled to receive stock benefits as part of their compensation the first email included in full below informed fired employees that they would no longer have access to Twitter systems and can expect information about their Severance packages within a week although they are no longer expected to work the employees will still receive compensation and benefits through January I'm very curious I don't know that he'll ever come out with what his strategy in in firing these employees are but it it seems as though as far as what we've seen on Twitter that he's fired the entire content creation team like the curators of what you see on Twitter which in my opinion is a a great move considering what they've been doing thus far in their work at Twitter is this thing we're not going to have the fursuit Friday Trend every weekend anymore unless the furries are doing that on their own organically if if is it trending today yeah no it Trends every Friday I've told you this before yeah I'm like 99 sure that this is something that this is what the content curation team has been doing at Twitter is forcing fursuit Friday to Trend which is where people dress who dress up like animals and identify as such or whatever uh they make that Trend every weekend so if that's what's going out the window with the content curation team I'm not too worried about it we'll have to check in next week if fursuit Friday is trending next week then we know the community is just big enough to do it on their own and that's even that might even be more of a problem dude that is so much worse um anyways so yeah he fired that content curation team or Creator team and they're essentially responsible for creating the layouts on Twitter making things Trend choosing which headlines go out so adding context is a big one to headlines yes and you know checking people and saying this is what this actually means so bye Felicia here's a cardboard box no I feel bad you got laid off from your job but also you should have done your job better you know what I mean yeah or picked a different career path that wasn't enforcing biased policies that squash out people who yeah that you disagree with and I'll try to give them the benefit of the doubt and say that probably not all of them were engaging in that sort of behavior and maybe some of them were leaning conservative and seeing the problems and recognizing that but I mean uh you know yeah I don't think this is the day necessarily to like you know dance on their graves metaphorically or say like oh you lost your job but it's also like hey the company was poorly run y'all were doing some bad stuff people didn't like it and uh it has new ownership in town your sheriff in town and they're going to shake things up and it's his right to do so so and we are here in the big picture for that yep Yeehaw you you share New South African Sheriff okay where are we moving to oh yeah so you we did that article right about the uh the far right figures appear to be testing Twitter's boundaries for anti-lgbtq speech so they're accusing us of just uh attacking lgbtq people now on Twitter and it's interesting because the guy who wrote this article for NBC reached out to Libs of tick tock we all know Libs of tick tock we're a fan of that Twitter account who constantly supplies us with just crazy videos that are uh being shared all over the Internet and she tweeted out and said you can't make this up Matt Levites the from NBC reached out to me for comment 15 hours after the hit piece on me was published this is journalism and here's him reaching out and saying hi I hope you're well I'm writing this piece do you have anything you'd like to say on the topic looking forward to hearing from you she said hi Matt unfortunately you have pronouns in your Twitter bio which automatically tells me I can't take you seriously good luck with your story which is the perfect response you just I needed to like keep that copied and pasted she's giving Flames after she's been docked out and all that stuff she's like not even better scorched Earth as Taylor would say yep I think that phrase came to mind I was like dang she used it Go and scorched Earth so yeah 15 hours after you publish the piece okay NBC just setting the stand gold standard in journalism with this guy uh publishing a hit piece and messaging people after asking if they want any comments brilliant Joy read assuming Americans don't know what inflation means wonderful the show that we watched what was it called again the New Amsterdam show NBC is just on a tear do we have more we have more oh but wait there's more you call now you'll get more BS from NBC we covered the Paul Pelosi story which uh for those of you who are unfamiliar Paul Pelosi is the husband of the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi he was apparently attacked in their home while Nancy Pelosi was away by an attacker uh who he claimed to not know in the news claimed that he did not know and then we found out through recordings of the police uh responding to the call that he did know and actually referred to the name to the guy who attacked him as a man uh his friend he said my friend David according to the police officers on the tape uh and David to Pape has subsequently been arrested and is now dealing with this whole debacle after attacking Paul Pelosi with a hammer but NBC News came about and reported on this which would have been good reporting this would have been an Applause for NBC so let's get into it Craig good morning when officers arrived here at the Pelosi home exactly a week ago today they initially didn't have any idea exactly what was going on they knew they had a high priority call on their hand what was unclear what was happening inside the property just behind me this morning Paul Pelosi is home back at the house that became a crime scene a week ago today NBC News learning new details about the moments police arrived sources familiar with what unfolded in the Pelosi residence now revealing when officers responded to the high priority call they were seemingly unaware they'd been called to the home of the speaker of the house after a knock and announce the front door was opened by Mr Pelosi the 82 year old did not immediately declare an emergency or tried to leave his home but instead began walking several feet back into the foyer toward the assailant and away from police it's unclear if the 82-year-old was already injured or what his mental state was say sources according to court documents when the officer asked what was going on defendant smiled and said everything's good but instantaneously a struggle ensued as police clearly saw David depap strike Paul Pelosi in the head with a hammer after tackling the suspect officers rushed to Mr Pelosi who was lying in a pool of blood what we do know is he brutally attacked Mr Pelosi and attempted to kill him after spending several days in the ICU Pelosi who is recovering from a fractured skull in serious injuries to his arm and hand is now home where Capitol Police remain on alert investigators have previously said Pelosi did not know to Pap when the 42 year old broke into his home why Pelosi didn't try to flee or tell responding officers he was in distress is unclear sear takes over fear freezes people this morning the 82 year old lucky to be alive after an intruder nearly killed him in his own home I'm so confused I'm really so confused which is the appropriate response yeah and I think that's the whole point is and why NBC deleted this video after putting it out is because it shows that hey this is a complicated situation which obviously horrible for Paul Pelosi that this happened um but the way it unfolded leaves a lot of questions and it's not this clear-cut and dry narrative that the media was very eager to run with right as soon as it happened which was this is a Maga Republican uh viciously attacking a democratic uh person's husband right and that's the thing like we wouldn't be talking about this story if they didn't run with a narrative this is a MAG Republican and they're fueling a political divide in this country and attacking people of prevalence in in the United States of America in order to bring about another coup and an Insurrection all these things that's the narrative that they ran with but it seems like the waters have been muddied I don't think they got into who broke this open I saw a conflicting reports on that too that the police did it from the outside after they saw something or that but then someone said the glass is on the inside that never happens I mean there's so many different layers to this yeah but again you can't draw clear conclusions from which is the whole point exactly other than this was a crazy person that was in this man's house yeah which is like why then why are you calmly opening the door exactly and why are you moving towards somebody who's trying to attack you rather than moving towards police officers want to open the door and Escape if you feel like your life is in danger why would you not allow let police officers know that you are in distress as soon as you open the door uh when when they arrived why was it that somebody else called the police which I believe it was a what a wellness check yeah whatever that means which means like hey can you can you come check on this guy either a I think something's going on or I haven't heard from him in a while can you please send out police officers to check what's going on that's what a wellness check is so so so clearly either a somebody is has a normal interaction with Paul Pelosi and didn't have that interaction it's like where is this guy at or B heard something from the house and it's like hey what's going on in there maybe I should call the police I don't know there's a lot of different uh reasons somebody could place a call like that but dude it's not adding up the math is not mathing for me and and why does the if this guy's a MAG Republican why does he live at a residence with BLM flag and a private flag with a pot leaf on it these are all just questions these are all just questions which is what we should be doing right now is asking questions and getting and cut you know piecing it together as the information comes out but the media got way out ahead over their skis on this one yeah released this video that showed how they did that and how the narrative is more complicated than the one they were pushing and then they went and deleted this video from everywhere it was posted online clearly like to Today Show's Twitter feed and other places because they're like yeah that did not achieve what we were trying to achieve now we have more ammunition and they've copied the video they have it and now they can put it out to more people that's all that's all they're thinking they're like damn we did good journalism for once and now people can utilize it against against us it's the irony yeah they finally did good journalism and they have to retract it but meanwhile you know we've again we preface this story with their lgbtq reporter writing a hit piece and messaging people six hours for com for Comet six hours after it's already published the standard and joy reads inane comments it's a mess they're they're so bad when they do good journalism it's by accident right NBC you need to clean your room there's a lot going on there get it together you can't do good work until you clean your room that's how I feel about it and guys uh that's that's it as far as NBC fails on today's show uh we stacked you up I think there was like five all within this week yeah I didn't even mention the voter ID law thing yeah you guys got plenty of ammunition for this and of course we're all gonna see how things pan out over this weekend uh we won't do a lot of reporting on midterm elections because we'll we'll all be taking it in we'll all be seeing it we'll all know what's going down of course we'll have our commentary here and there but that's not the job we do here we don't tell you how to vote who to vote for what to do with your life uh we just talk about freaking stories culture and call it like we see it not color Daddy call it like we see it let's get into Super chats got a few for today okay this one is from Anthony I'm a 49 year old white man so my white fragility is here to buy your bp2wf tickets I don't know what that means I don't know I hope it's not dirty yes did I just say something strange out loud you're an important hope giving voice uh you will inspire the change we need Oh Black Panther 2 wakanda forever ah which I do have to see yeah we're gonna react to it after it comes out if you guys want to see it oh thank you and thank you Anthony says I hope you get rich doing it God bless thank you so much we really appreciate the Super Chat and that will let you know how that movie is I you know I'm not gonna pass judgment might be good might be very very good open-minded here open-minded over here D 1987 thank you for your Super Chat what do you guys think of Kanye's alleged anti-semitic tweets and Candace Owens right to defend Kanye's tweets saying they were not anti-semitic We're not gonna get too in-depth into this discussion because it's a little bit too too fiery too flamey uh for for what's going on right now and I'm gonna wait to see how things play out um but I do think like Kanye's back on Twitter there's space for free speech we can argue what's covered by Free Speech but I'm a free speech absolutist and I do think he has a right to say what he's going to say and I do think the response towards this has been particularly harsh uh and that's all I'm gonna say on the matter we might double into it as the story develops but we also might not because we've talked about Kanye for like I don't know how many I think feel like we did three videos in a row uh with Kanye and this story continues to develop so we'll let you guys know but I don't know it just keeps getting weirder and weirder every single day and I'm like I don't know what's going on all right Angie Garcia hey have you guys listened to Tom McDonald super controversial rapper but would be great to discuss this music and maybe have him as a guest y'all want a really hot take I do not like Tom McDonald I do not think he's a good rapper oh my gosh I can't believe actually I've never heard of this person so uh take your word for it he's a rapper who raps about like he's he's clearly like open free thinker probably a little probably right-leaning anti-censorship and all this stuff and talks about like race relations and all that fun stuff um I'm not a fan I I support the message I think the message in his rap music is great um but it's just not as good as typical rap music I'm not gonna lie and if you're offended by almost stance that's her Free Speech absolutely don't cancel me for saying that yeah no I don't like him at all I'll give it a shot I don't know maybe we'll react to his music is that is that mean because I already know I don't like it to react to his music uh in a stream I don't probably then if you know you don't like it yeah you should maybe we should just react into things better you're starting neutral it's like you already know you don't like black panther then maybe you don't watch it or then don't plan a show to react to it but yeah fair enough yeah not a fan of Tom McDonald but thank you so much for your super chat I hope I did not disappoint sure he's a great guy is a great guy he does have great values his values and the music is great uh the music itself questionable uh anyways guys did I miss any super chats thank you there's a few um who did I miss here's Celestial kawamoto stumbled on your videos two weeks ago and have been watching all of your lives while at work love your content and thank you for all you and Taylor do Taylor even included Taylor wow I'm like guys you're a real fan if you actually like know my name because which people approach him people approach him he's getting more and more now yeah it's happened like twice so let's have more than twice it's definitely happened more than twice happened at least five times yeah it's fine I know my place here oh what else did I miss um there's let's see um Monica Leah says yes who always is talking with us and yes thank you so much you're so sweet she says in America you need to prove your identity in many situations buying a gun buying prescription medicines Etc that's why it's absurd that voters don't need to prove identity when their vote can you hear my Snaps my ASMR snaps you're absolutely right you're absolutely right thank you I don't even need to rebut their argument because you did it for me uh there's so many different instances where you need an ID we're all perfectly capable of doing that so what's up Mike drop one more from uh Daisy can you guys make an episode about car bands and public transport it's very political and I find I don't agree with a lot of political views on it do you mean car bands like um like like they're trying to get rid of diesel fueled cars and like how California is going electric by 2030 so they say yeah 2035 they're banning cars I think Europe just the EU banned manufacturing new gas powered cars in 2035 as well and then we certainly we have a bunch of people who can't afford electric cars and also public transportation systems are not ready to handle the amount of people that they're going to be just exiling from being able to commute to their work or to wherever they need to go so that'll be interesting if that's what you're talking about I think we'll get into it we're going to start probably delving into the environment a little bit as it becomes uh more of a hot button issue and people are talking about it we're gonna have to dispel a lot of myths and talk about government overreach uh under the guise of helping the environment so that'd be something to talk about I like your suggestion yeah I love that topic because I think the insane over commitment and overly aggressive uh transition as they like to say from fossil fuels to other renewable energy sources is a big part of what's driving the global economic meltdown that we're seeing and for the European Union to ban gas-powered cars in 2035 for California to be doing it now when both of those places are suffering energy crisis already like California can't even keep their power on through a summer heat wave when people turn on their AC and Europe the energy bills are already you know insane yeah and you know so yeah it is a willful commitment to destruction Taylor's very passionate about it sends me all these energy things I'm like I don't even understand she's like people are going to care about this but I'm like do people care about doing the whole I didn't say people didn't care about it I just think it's like oh my gosh yeah she was just like oh what do you mean nuclear fusion and fission oh it's hard I tried to listen to like the Lex Friedman podcast when he had on some nuclear physicists and I was just like well you don't have to get so in the weeds of it it's just like me we have a solution for this madness and yet we're ignoring that solution because we don't want a solution we want to tear down capitalism and as Greta thundberg said very recently mashed potato throwing insufferable activists who are super gluing themselves to things right that's what that's what they're all about yep BS guys it's BS uh yeah but we'll be here to cover it we will get into that issue especially because you know people are going to be talking about it there's no doubt about it we're all being affected by it I think that's it for super chats today that is I don't see anymore thank you guys so much for your super chats we really appreciate it and thank you so much for watching and listening it is Friday so we're going into the weekend hope you guys have a fantastic weekend let me know your plans in the chat down below and of all of these fails which one was the worst for you drop that in the comments down below after we finish the stream and I'd love to go through and and listen to what you guys have to say also were you guys aware of what inflation was before the Republican fear mongers told you what the word meant let me know in the comments Down Below guys thank you so much for watching this has been NPC I mean NBC News have a good night
