Hello the Internet, and welcome to this little it's just a little a news boosh you get it, like instead of in amos boosh mosith akin really good worth one of those ones that's like we must have done this before.
This is so good.
Yeah, so it's just right on the sweet spot of the racket, you know what I'm saying.
Anyways, thank you.
Thank you for that.
But like you know, then sometimes we will accept things that go outside of the form of you know, geist or trend.
And here we are.
I'm Jack O'Brien. That's what I can tell you. That that damn much. Okay, that right there, Well, I'm pretty sure that's Miles Gray.
I'm pretty sure i am too, But I don't know anymore, you know, because I'm getting up there in the years, you know what I mean.
Yeah, where's like you could be a lineman for one of the good ones, one of the uh you know or whatever. Anyways, we're talking about the fogy old brain of one Joe Biden.
Our commander in chief.
So he finally went to Maui two weeks after one of the worst natural disasters in the history of the United States, and he's just he just seems like the people are asking if he fell asleep at one point on stage during one of the memorials. Should we play the quote where he tells the.
Guy that he looks like So this I think like one of the first things he's like, he comments, this isn't in the clip, but he like commented about like the ground being hot and stuff, and you're like, you're walking through a place a fire has just come through. Try and just like keep your comments to things that are relevant. But anyway, here he is at his press conference with some really interesting ideas.
And Mayor Rick Rick when we talked on phone, I never you look like you played in defensive tackle for I don't know who. Somebody good any rate? Thank you for your leadership and this unimaginable during the sun Imaginal.
Travity, Travity, Yeah, oh yeah, shout out Travity. Scott got a new album out, Like.
What oh boy?
That is not a good How is this motherfucker the only thing standing between us and a Donald Trump presidency?
Wow?
How is this where you have put us the Democratic Party?
Holy shit?
This is this your king?
He is barely holding it together. You guys like it put him out of his misery, just like somebody come talk to him and just be like, hey, it's all over. You're good, You're good, you're good. Actually we we've discovered, like you're we're better off if you just kind of take a nice long nap.
Dude, you would be sick.
Is if you supported the candidate for president and you just stepped to the side.
That could be something else, but hey.
It definitely would be Kamala, which is I don't know who.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't think Kamala could be wording no.
She at least is like there, yeah, like and wouldn't you know, granted not the most charismatic at times, but still like has a mind that is intact. But this is just so it's just hard to watch, man, And I hate like sounding like some like maga dude, like this guy.
Is so old, but it's like so fucking hard to watch.
He's so old, he's so bad at being a politician at this point.
Yeah he's not really, I'm not, you know.
And again that's why, like I get why everyone's pointing like back one year ago to the Inflation Reduction Act to be like he did that, and yeah he did, he did.
And now it's time to step aside.
I mean, the thing is, like, I don't know, I'm down for whatever is going to give that the best chance of winning the election, and if keeping him like propped up is going to but it just doesn't feel like it possibly could. Now if the alternative is Kamala Harris, then maybe that is, but like, why does the alternative need to be Kamala Harris at this point?
I don't know.
It's probably really cynical triangulation from the DNC to like try and like, you know, really shore up the black vote because right now we look at how the like black male celebrities are going, right, and yeah, just trying to fucking find like, you know, the support. It might go in a different direction in certain demographics, but this is just whatever. You know, you show up two weeks late to this terrible fucking disaster.
Mind you they say that around eight hundred and fifty people are still missing Jesus, and like, it doesn't feel like a Heaven and Earth type response from the federal government to do something. At least that's not what the sentiment I'm gaining.
Isn't He's sending them like seven hundred dollars per person. Yeah, that doesn't feel like enough, man.
I think again, it's just but again, I think there's just a there's just a reflex of the US government to be like, oh not on the mainland, oh like basically a colony from a couple of centuries ago, Like I don't know, go get there when we get there.
He's also doing this thing on this trip where he keeps talking about how like he can kind of understand what the Maui wildfire survivors are going through because he knows, quote, what it's like to lose a home to a fire, and he didn't. It's like not, first of all, like that's inadequate to the situation to be like, I get it, man, I've had a thing that I lost to a fire.
So I'm also the most powerful human on earth. Kind of real.
So as I was watching my home burn, I kind of totally knew everything was gonna be all right.
So no big deal.
But it's just so dumb. It's so insensitive, Like if Trump had said it, I like, I I don't give a shit if Trump had said it. You know, they are all these people, But like he said, I don't want to compare difficulties. But we have a little sense Jill and I what it's like to lose a home. Years ago, now fifteen years ago, I was in Washington
doing meet the press. It was a sunny Sunday and lightning struck at home on a little lake that's outside of our home, not a lake, a big pond and hit a wire and came up underneath our home into the heating ducks, the air conditioning ducks. Make a long story short, I almost lost my wife, my sixty seven Corvette, and my cat. But all kidding aside. I watched the firefighters the way they responded, what the fuck you're kidding, It's.
Just he's it's like campaign trail talk rather than like, I'm here to like whatever.
He you know, it is what it is.
At this point, fire never left the kitchen and took twenty minutes to put out. And this is what he's going with to console people who just like went through one of the worst natural disasters, and.
Yeah, like I and look, I underlook. There is obviously the instinct of a politician to create common ground as quickly as possible with the group of people you're speaking with, So he's trying to do that by saying, like, I know the position you're in. But sometimes you can just come through and express your just your grief, your sadness for what's happened, and then pivot to and this is how I want to make sure I'm helping you and this never happens again, and here is what I'm going
to do. Yes, yeah, And rather than like you know, the boilerplate thing of like I'm sending all federal assets to sure but I don't know.
Again, it's like just a bad look.
I don't I'm the Republicans are like hammering Joe Biden right now over this, but not for like the leadership part, like he fell asleep a big story about like a fire, and they're meanwhile, I'm over here. I feel so fucking terrible for these people that have lost everything, the amount of people that are displaced, the amount that are still missing, and I don't know, it just it just feels like inadequate from from my side.
And again I'm not obviously there to like fully get the tone of.
People, but from the handful of people that whose opinions I do respect, that are like on the ground there, it doesn't feel it seems like it doesn't feel like everything possible can be done. But we've said this in the past, when has the federal government really come through them, like, yeah, we cleaned all that up and it's all the waste is gone and there's no more chemicals and all this is fine.
Everyone has a place to stay. Just not that's just not the case.
Like mainstream Democrats. I feel like when they hear people criticize Biden, they're like, what do you want Trump?
No, and I want better. I want better and just wish.
That the party did better than this.
You can, And I think that's the thing that people conflate the having a better hope, wanting to have politicians of a higher standard with like support for Trump. There are people who cynically will do that for their own like conservative aims and like kind of be like, yo, I'm kind of a liberal and then switch it up on people. But consistently we talk about how the Democrats
don't do enough. Why obviously because they're a pretty much corporate owned party at this point that those the real interests of workers, of working people, of families and stuff, but they don't intersect with them because they're there to look after a completely different group of people and just sort of make these incremental gestures of progress to us and hope that that will keep us at bay from
screaming for something better than what it is now. But yeah, hey man, we got we've got a lot going on. There's the world is crumbling, and I'm you know, like we like we said, remember like the Republicans are counting on a catastrophe.
Yeah, yeah, to push them into the White House.
Will like twenty different catastrophes. Do Are they okay with that?
I don't know. Maybe not. It might. It might not be enough.
It's too diffuse. The catastrophes are too diffuse at this point.
We need a nine to eleven plus a January.
Sixth, right, right, right, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about the disappearing mugshot. And we're back, and turns out Trump might not get a mug shot after all.
The fuck.
Despite reports that Thursday's arrayment could make history by giving us the first Trump mug shot, it may not actually happen. One legal expert interviewed in The Mirror at least speculated this probably wouldn't happen given the president of previous cases and his legal team have been arguing against their client being photographed, even despite the fact that his campaign literally photoshopped a fake mugshot for fundraising purposes.
Totally.
I do love this this little detail.
Though online gambling sites have been allowing bets concerning the arrangement. People can wager whether or not he'll be smiling in the mug shot, what color tie he'll be wearing, and most importantly, how much he'll weigh when he shows up. This one has captured my attention and my imagination.
The line here is two hundred and seventy three and a half pounds. Yeah, I didn't think.
I didn't know. I'm so bad at assessing like weight that I'm like, is that? Is he that big? He's not that tall? But I don't know, I knows, that's what he says. I mean, he's.
Obviously like three he says, yeah, yeah, yeah, six three Yeah, And I'm sure do we have do we have the overunder on that?
Yeah? It's a good question. Okay, are they going to measure him without his shoes on?
So height six three? His reported weight is two forty three, so to seventy three point five seems.
I don't know.
That seems low to me. You're thinking it's under that I'm thinking.
I just can't be okay, I just can't believe this is like where we're at, where we.
Were like fucking Joe Biden and now we have like, all right, is it what color ties our future future?
Because like I don't know, I don't know what he's smiling for sure, the odds are I don't know what the odds are if he's taking a smile for Yeah.
But like they do have to weigh him, don't they.
I have no idea, man, I've I've not been processed and booked like that before. Yeah, I'm imagining, Yeah, that they do, because it's like because they want to get all your data or some shit. Yeah, hey, Donald, just just you know, stay strong throughout all this and don't go to Russia like we think you're going to, or at least you're.
Just joking that you would, just a joke that I'd go to Russia.
But he wants it does seem like he wants them to put him in jail because then it'll make people outraged on his behalf. So he is threatening to run from the country, to flee the country as a quote unquote joke to see if he can't make them smack him and then he'll fall down and call the police.
That sort of thing.
All right, there was a ruling that may affect the strike and may affect the future of AI art. Yeah, a federal judge just upheld a ruling that concludes that copyright law has never stretched so far to protect works generated by new forms of technology operating absent any guiding human hand, stating that human authorship is a bedrock requirement. So basically that you can't copyright AI art.
But I guided it when I told the generative AI to show me pimped out pope, that's my IP.
I just feel like that's that is the thing that makes this feel like it doesn't actually matter to me is that the people will just argue that like they guided it by you, by doing programming or whatever.
But I guess that's like saying you would have a copyright claim because you told a songwriter to like, write me a song about how beautiful I am, and then you're like, and that's mine, now, my copyright because I told someone to make it.
I don't know. Again, I'm not a lawyer, but I just like the fact that that will keep people from thinking they can profit off of this lazy ass shit, Like I.
Would have been happier if you didn't specify like no guiding human hand and had just focused on something else that he pointed out and the decision, which is that AI models are often trained on pre existing work. That's the thing that really kind of throws a not in the idea of AI art being copyrightable is that it's just a remix of pre existing art. So why yeah, yeah, did you get all those copyright.
From every single movie you've seen in your life? How did you get those ideas?
But yeah, this is good to know because everybody was licking their lips as to like how AI can.
Be like so profitable, and yeah, the studios would hate that.
Yeah, they would hate it if they may like made an AI movie and then weren't able.
To we could just rip it off, yeah, like no, what the fuck? Like sorry?
Where As that Russo brother said, like you could just like remake that movie but with you as the star, which is.
What everybody wants.
The fuck I do?
Yeah, you do? You think about it, dude?
You do?
The most I can do is photoshop our faces onto movie characters and then get weirded out by that and then.
Be like, oh my god, it's come too far. It's come too far. But also, I look sick as the terminator.
You do, Actually, yeah, you look great.
You look great as Eddie Furlong too. Yeah.
So some of the elderly pictures of me really are troubling. Let me know exactly what I'm going to look like on my deathbed.
Scooter Braun is trending.
He So, we don't have anything really official yet, right, No, this is he's famous for being Justin Bieber's manager who like bought Taylor Swift's songbook, prompting Taylor Swift to redo like all of her albums, and being Taylor the versions that he bought worthless.
He's not.
He's not a very well liked person in like writ large in the public.
And he So what we know so far.
Is that I'm pretty sure it's confirmed that Demi Lovado and Ariana Grande are leaving his management stable. Yeah, there are also rumors, and this would mark this is a big deal that.
Justin Bieber is also leaving.
Yeah. Adina Menzel I think also parted ways.
Yeah, so there's a there's an article on Variety with the headline what the hell is going on in Scooter Bronze Empire, and it's yeah, it seems bad. Yeah, but there's also like not the usual like kind of speculation of like what what all this means or what's happening?
So I don't know.
I noticed an exchange on Twitter between our favorite people, Bridget Todd and Sophie Lichterman where Bridget was talking about She's like, I don't know what's going on, but like what it's like. First Bridget was saying, like does that
have to do with like crypto or NFTs? And then Sophie pointed out, like all of his Instagram picks are like he's like, they're all vacation picks where he's like very nonchalant, and Bridge just said that's the biggest sign of someone who did something, just posting all nonchalant, like you don't know what everyone's talking about.
So I don't know.
I mean, yeah, there there's apparently the rumor is that some kind of report or story.
Is going to become public about him, and that is why people are starting to head for the exits. Early who'd have thought.
Yeah, we'll see, we will see. Yeah, it seems like a lot of like the thing in the Variety article is like speculation around financial misdeeds, white collar type stuff, which there is a Taylor Swift lyric vigilante.
Yeah, son, it's.
I don't know that it's about Scubar Brown, but I mean, look, we don't.
We don't all the time in straight up conspiracies. But verse three, while he was doing lines and crossing all of mine, someone told his white collar crimes to the FBI.
Okay, and I don't dress for villains or for innocence. I'm on my vigilante shit again. So yeah, we'll see.
We'll see, we'll see who that is about.
Maybe about our dad, who's the billionaire hedge fun person or maybe multimillionaire. Anyways, those are some of the things that are trending on this Tuesday afternoon. We are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccines, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to y'all tomorrow.
Bye bye,
