Trevor: BEFORE WE GET
STARTED, TODAY IS GROUNDHOG DAY.
WHICH LEADS ME TO ASK, WHAT THE
HELL IS GROUNDHOG DAY?
PEOPLE PULL A RODENT OUT OF THE
GROUND AND THEN ASK THE ANIMAL
TO PREDICT THE WEATHER.
REALLY?
THIS IS SO UNFAIR BECAUSE IF
AFTERNOONENS WERE DOING SHIT
LIKE THIS AND YOU HEARD WE
PULLED ANIMALS OUT OF THE GROUND
VILLAGES IN AFRICA WHERE PEOPLE
WEAR ANIMAL SKIN AND IF I TRY TO
EXPLAIN AMERICANS USE GROUNDHOGS
TO PREDICT THE WEATHER, THEY
WILL BE LIKE WHYT NOT USE THIS
ANIMAL.
LET’S MOVE FROM FROM TALKING
ANIMALS TO E-MAILING VEGETABLES.
IT’S SOUNDS TOO CRAZY TO
BELIEVE BUT SCIENTISTS REALLY
HAVE TAUGHT SPINACH TO SEND
E-MAILS.
ENGINEERS AT M.I.T. REPORT
SPINACH ROOTS CAN DETECT A
COMPOUND FOUND IN EXPLOSIVE LIKE
LAND MINUS.
WHEN THE ROOTS DETECT THE
COMPOUND MOLECULES AND THE ROOTS
RELEASE A SIGNAL, THAT SIGNAL IS
READ BY AN INFRARED CAMERA WHICH
SENDS AN EMAIL TO SCIENTISTS.
THE PURPOSE IS TO DETECT
EXPLOSIVE, BUT SCIENTISTS
BELIEVE IT COULD BE USED TO WARN
RESEARCHERS OF POLLUTION.
THE EXPERIMENT IS PART OF A
WIDER FIELD OF RESEARCH THAT
INVOLVES ENGINEERING ELECTRONIC
SYSTEMS INTO PLANTS.
IT IS ALSO CALLED PLANT
NANOBIONICS.
Trevor: ALL RIGHT, I’M
SORRY, GUYS.
THIS IS INSANE.
I MEAN, WHO E-MAILS ANYMORE?
JUST DM ME, SPINACH.
SERIOUSLY, SPINACH, DM ME.
BUT YOU ALSO KNOW WHAT THIS
MEANS -- IF SPINACH JUST GOT ON
EMAIL, IT MEANS THAT THEY’RE NOT
AS SAVVY ABOUT IT AS EVERYONE
ELSE.
SO LET ME BE THE FIRST TO SAY --
GREETINGS, MY DEAREST FRIEND
SPINACH.
I HAVE A MILLION DOLLARS IN A
TRUST THAT I SUDDENLY CANNOT
ACCESS UNTIL THE FIRST DAY OF
MARCH.
IF YOU ARE ABLE TO WIRE ME
$10,000, I WILL PAY YOU BACK 15
TIMES OVER.
PLEASE, SPINACH, I NEED YOU.
AND YOU, WE PLAY THE WAITING
GAME.
( MANIACAL LAUGH )
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE
SCIENTISTS WORKING ON THE BREAK
TWHRU.
MAYBE THEY CAN MOVE ON TO THE
NEXT SCIENTIFIC FRONTIER,
TEACHING YOUR MOM HOW TO USE
FACETIME.
HOW DO I TURN THE CAMERA?
MOM, I GOTTA GO!
JUST ASK THE SPINACH.
MOVING TO THE CORONAVIRUS
PANDEMIC, IT’S THE REASON SWEAT
PANTS ARE NOW A BUSINESS
EXPENSE.
YESTERDAY, WESTERN AUSTRALIA
WENT INTO TOTAL LOCKDOWN AFTER
DISCOVERING ITS FIRST
CORONAVIRUS CASE IN TEN MONTHS.
YOU SEE, AUSTRALIA IS VERY
DIFFERENT FROM THE UNITED
STATES.
IN THE U.S., WATER GOES DOWN THE
DRAIN CLOCKWISE AND, IN
AUSTRALIA, THEY CARE ABOUT
STOPPING CORONAVIRUS.
NOW, PART OF THE REASON FOR
AUSTRALIA’S SUCCESS IS THAT
AUSTRALIANS DON’T RESIST THE
GOVERNMENT AS MUCH WHEN THEY
TELL THEM THAT THEY SHOULD STAY
AT HOME.
AND IT’S PARTLY BECAUSE THESE
PEOPLE KNOW THAT COVID IS A
SERIOUS DISEASE.
IT’S ALSO PARTLY BECAUSE IT LETS
AUSTRALIANS STAY AWAY FROM ALL
THE OTHER THINGS IN AUSTRALIA
THAT COULD KILL THEM.
YEAH, MATE, IT’S BAD ENOUGH THAT
THE SCORPIONS AND SNAKES ARE
TRYING TO KILL ME BUT THERE’S A
KOALA THAT’S TRYING TO GIVE ME
EVENTUALLY, OF COURSE, THE WORLD
WILL REEMERGE FROM THE PANDEMIC,
AND I KNOW EVERYONE THINKS
THEY’RE GOING TO JUMP RIGHT BACK
INTO THEIR OLD LIVES LIKE GOING
TO BARS OR THEATERS OR USING THE
BOTTOM HALF OF YOUR FACE TO
EXPRESS EMOTION.
BUT YOU MIGHT WANT TO PREPARE
FOR A PERIOD OF ADJUSTMENT,
BECAUSE SOME THINGS APPARENTLY
TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO RELEARN.
A NEW REPORT SAYS SOME PILOTS
ARE GETTING RUSTY ON THE JOB DUE
TO THE PANDEMIC BECAUSE, WELL,
THERE ARE FEWER PLANES TO FLY.
SOME PILOTS GROUNDED FOR
MONTHS BY THE PANDEMIC HAVE SEEN
THEIR SKILLS AND PROFICIENCY
SUFFER.
FOR INSTANCE, ONE PILOT FORGOT
TO DISENGAGE THE PARKING BREAK,
DAMAGING A TOW TRUCK THAT WAS
TRYING TO PULL THAT PLANE FROM
THE GATE.
IN ANOTHER CASE, THE PILOT,
WELL, FORGOT TO TURN ON THE
ANTI-ICING MECHANISM.
OTHER REPORTS INCLUDE KLEINING
UP THE WRONG RUNWAY FOR LANDING.
TO COUNTER SUCH RUSTINESS, THE
F.A.A. STOPS PILOTS FROM FLYING
A COMMERCIAL JET UNLESS THEY
HAVE PERFORMED AT LEAST THREE
TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS EITHER OR
ON A PLANE OR IN A SIMILAR LATER
IN THE PREVIOUS 90 DAYS.
Trevor: THIS IS SCARY.
APPARENTLY YOU NEVER FORGET HOW
TO RIDE A BIKE BUT YU FORGET HOW
TO FLY A PLANE AFTER FIVE DAYS?
MAN, THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE
EVERYTHING.
NEXT TIME THE PLANE HITS
TURBULENCE, THE PILOT WILL JUMP
ON THE INTERCOM, UH, ANY
HIJACKERS ON BOARD?
WE NEED SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO
FLY THE PLANE.
I GET PILOTS ARE HUMAN BURR
THERE ARE CERTAIN JOBS WHERE
THERE IS LESS ROOM FOR ERROR.
A MAIL CAR YORE SAYS, WHOOPS,
THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO
APARTMENT TWO AND I SENT IT TO
APARTMENT THREE.
AS A PILOT, IT’S LIKE, WHOOPSIE,
THESE PEOPLE WERE SUPPOSED TO GO
TOHEIM AND I ACCIDENTALLY SENT
THEM TO HEAVEN.
TRUST ME, NOT JUST PILOTS,
EVERYONE WILL BE RUSTY AFTER
COVID, PROJECTIONISTS WILL BE
SHOWING MOVIES UPSIDE DOWN.
BULLIES WILL GIVE YOU THEIR
LUNCH MONEY.
UNTIL THE PANDEMIC IS ACTUALLY
OVER, AMERICANS WILL NEED MORE
HELP GETTING THROUGH IT.
AND THE BIG QUESTION OF WHAT
THAT HELP WILL LOOK LIKE IS
DOMINATING WASHINGTON, D.C.
RIGHT NOW.
PRESIDENT BIDEN’S PLEDGE OF
BIPARTISANSHIP FACING ITS FIRST
TEST TONIGHT.
THE PRESIDENT INVITING TEN
REPUBLICAN SENATORS TO THE OVAL
OFFICE TO PITCH THEIR COVID
RELIEF COUNTEROFFER, THEIR
$600 BILLION PROPOSAL IS A MERE
FRACTION OF THE PRESIDENT’S
$1.9 TRILLION PACKAGE.
THE G.O.P. PLAN LEAVES OUT A
MINIMUM WAGE BOOST THE PRESIDENT
INCLUDES, AND WHITTLES DOWN HIS
$1,400 DIRECT PAYMENTS TO
AMERICANS TO $1,000.
STILL, WHEN ALL WAS SAID AND
DONE, THE WHITE HOUSE DID NOT
APPEAR TO CONCEDE MUCH GROUND
SAYING THE PRESIDENT WILL NOT
SETTLE FOR A PACKAGE THAT FAILS
TO MEET THE MOMENT.
THIS IS A SIGN OF THIS EFFORT
FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN TO GET
PIERNTSSHIP HERE, BUT ALSO COMES
AS DEMOCRATS ON CAPITOL HILL ARE
PAVING THE WAY TO MOVE FORWARD
WITH ONLY DEMOCRATIC VOTES FOR
THE RELIEF PACKAGE.
Trevor: I GET WHY DEMOCRATS
AND REPUBLICANS ARE HAVING
TROUBLE AGREEING.
THIS IS A DIFFERENCE OF
$1.3 TRILLION.
HOW DO YOU COMPROMISE WHEN
YOU’RE THAT FAR APART?
IT’S LIKE DECIDING WHAT’S FOR
DINNER.
YOU WANT SOMETHING NICE BUT YOUR
DATE WANTS TO EAT OUT OF A GAS
STATION TRASH CAN, YOU CAN’T
COMPROMISE AND EAT OUT OF A NICE
TRASH CAN.
I LOVE HOW REPUBLICANS GET
STINGY THE SECOND A DEMOCRAT
COMES INTO OFFICE.
IN THE TRUMP YEARS THEY WERE
HANDING OUT TAX CUTS WITH A TRIP
MONEY GUN.
BUT NOW THAT BIDEN IS PRESIDENT,
THEY’RE HANDING OUT COVID RELIEF
A PENNY AT A TIME.
ONE PENNY, TWO PENNIES.
AM I MAKING IT RAIN YET?
THREE PENNIES, MORE OF A
DRIZZLE, I AGREE.
NOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE UPSET
ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS’ PLAN TO
GIVE PEOPLE $1,400 BECAUSE THEY
SAY THAT THE DEMOCRATS PROMISED
TO GIVE PEOPLE $2,000.
BUT THE DEMOCRATS ARE ARGUING
THAT EVERYBODY ALREADY GOT THE
FIRST $600 A MONTH AGO, AND I
GET THE DEMOCRATS POINT OBSERVE
THIS ONE, BUT, AT THE SAME TIME,
SO MANY PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING
RIGHT NOW, WHY NOT JUST GIVE
THEM $2,600 INSTEAD?
YOU CAN FIND THE MONEY
SOMEWHERE.
TAKE IT FROM SPACE WARS, TRUMP
IS GONE, WE DON’T HAVE TO
PRETEND THAT’S A THING ANYMORE.
LET’S MOVE TO THE SECOND MOST
TALKED ABOUT INSTAGRAM VIDEO
FROM LAST NIGHT AFTER KAREN.
THE POST BY REPRESENTATIVE
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ WHO
GAVE A HARROWING ACCOUNT OF HER
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE DURING THE
CAPITOL ATTACK.
WE’RE GETTING AN EYE OPENING
NEW LOOK INSIDE LAST MONTH’S
SIEGE ON THE U.S. CAPITOL.
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ
DESCRIBING THE IMPACT OF THE
RIOTS, SHARING DETAILS OF WHAT
HAPPENED TO HER DURING THE
INSURRECTION AT THE CAPITOL,
TELLING HER VIEWERS SHE FELT SHE
WAS GOING TO DIE.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, I HEAR,
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, ON
MY DOOR, LIKE THIS, LIKE I’M
HERE, AND THE BATHROOM DOOR IS
GOING THICK, LIKE, THIS.
IT’S IN FRONT OF ME AND I’M LIKE
THIS AND THE DOOR HINGE IS HERE
AND I JUST HEAR, WHERE IS SHE,
WHERE IS SHE?
AND THIS WAS THE MOMENT WHERE I
THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS OVER.
I JUST HAPPENED TO, YOU KNOW, BE
A SPIRITUAL PERSON AND BE RAISED
IN THAT CONTEXT, AND I REALLY
JUST FELT LIKE, YOU KNOW, IF
THIS IS THE PLAN FOR ME, THEN
PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE IT
FROM HERE.
Trevor: WOW.
YOU KNOW, FOR A LOT OF US AT
HOME, THE CAPITOL RIOTS WERE
BASICALLY AN ACTION MOVIE ON TV.
IT WAS SCARY, INTENSE AND
TERRIFY BUG, AT THE END OF THE
DAY, WE WERE JUST WATCHING IT.
BUT AN ACTION MOVIE IS VERY
DIFFERENT WHEN YOU ARE ACTUALLY
IN THE MOVIE.
I MEAN, A.O.C. AND OTHER MEMBERS
OF CONGRESS LITERALLY THOUGHT
THAT THEY WERE GOING TO DIE.
ON A WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, NO
LESS.
NOBODY SHOULD DIE IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE WEEK.
THAT MEANS YOU WENT TO WORK ON
MONDAY AND TUESDAY FOR NOTHING.
AND THANK GOD NO MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS WERE ACTUALLY HURT.
BUT EVEN JUST BELIEVING THAT
YOU’RE GOING TO DIE IS A MAJOR
TRAUMA, AND A.O.C. HANDLED IT
WAY BETTER THAN I WOULD HAVE.
SHE WAS, LIKE, IF THIS IS WHERE
MY JOURNEY ENDS, SO BE IT?
IF I THOUGHT I WAS ABOUT TO DIE,
I WOULDN’T BE PONDERING MY
JOURNEY, I WOULD BE TRYING TO
DELETE MY BROWSER HISTORY.
TO EVERYONE WHO WAS SAYING HOW
SCARED COULD SHE REALLY HAVE
BEEN, THINK ABOUT HOW TERRIFIED
YOU GET WHEN SOMEONE KNOCKS ON
THE BATHROOM DOOR WHEN THERE
ISN’T EVEN A RIOT.
( KNOCKING )
SOMEONE’S IN HERE!
OH, GOD, NOW THEY’RE GOING TO
KNOW THAT I POOPED.
SO I’M GLAD A.O.C. SHARED THE
STORY BECAUSE MANY REPUBLICANS
IN CONGRESS WOULD LIKE TO
PRETEND THIS SHIT NEVER
HAPPENED, THAT THE LIVES OF
CONGRESS MEMBERS AND THEIR STAFF
WEREN’T IN DANGER AND POLICE
OFFICERS GUARDING THE CAPITOL
WEREN’T INJURED AND KILLED.
BUT IF THERE’S NO
ACCOUNTABILITY, THEN IT BECOMES
EASIER AND EASIER FOR IT TO
HAPPEN AGAIN, AND THE LAST THING
WE NEED FROM THIS ACTION MOVIE
IS A SEQUEL.
WHEN WE COME BACK, WE’LL LOOK AT
MY HEDGE FUNDS ARE SO MAD ABOUT
THE GAME STOP UPRAISING AND
IBRAM X. KENDI IS JOINING US ON
THE SHOW.
SO DON’T GO AWAY.
REPUBLICANS HAVE NO WAY TO
COMMUNICATE.
THIS IS WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT
THE SOCIALIST TO DO IS TO STAMP
OUT ANY OPPOSING VIEWPOINT.
I’M NOT GOING TO BE SILENCED.
SHUT YOU UP.
SHUT US UP.
WE WON’T EVEN BE INVITED TO
THE DEBATE TO PRESENT OUR IDEAS.
I WROTE AN ENTIRE CHAPTER ABOUT
IT IN MY BOOK.
WHEN YOU SEE PEOPLE BEING
DENIED BOOK DEALS, WHAT YOU ARE
SEEING IS FAWNED MENTAL EROSION
OF THE CONCEPT OF LIBERTY AND
FREEDOM IN AMERICA.
YOU HAVE TO BE PROGRESSIVE,
THAT’S WHAT’S COOL RIGHT NOW.
IF YOU ARE A CONSERVATIVE, YOU
CAN’T SPEAK ABOUT IT, YOU CAN’T
TALK ABOUT IT.
SILENCE CONSERVATIVES, STIFLE
FREE SPEECH.
THEY HAVE SILENCED US.
THEY HAVE CENSORED US, THEY HAVE
TAKEN US OUT OF THE
CONVERSATION.
THEY HAVE THE ENTIRETY OF
CONGRESS, BIG TECH, HOLLYWOOD, ACADEMIA, WHAT DO WE HAVE LEFT?
SHOW."
BY NOW, YOU’VE PROBABLY HEARD
ABOUT THE GAME STOP UPRISING,
THE BIGGEST THING TO HAPPEN WITH
VIDEO GAMES SINCE SONIC GOT
BUSTED FOR DOPING.
BUT IF YOU HAVEN’T HEARD THE
NEWS, WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT SOME
WALL STREET HEDGE FUNDS BET A
LOT OF MONEY THAT THE STOCK
PRICE OF THE VIDEO GAME STORE
GAME STOP WOULD FALL.
BUT A BUNCH OF PEOPLE ON
READY-TO-FOUND OUT ABOUT THE
BETS SO THEY STARTED BUYING GAME
STOP SHARES SO THE PRICE WOULD
GO UP AND THE HEDGE FUNDS WOULD
LOSE A LOT OF MONEY, AND LOSE A
LOT OF MONEY THEY DID, IN THE
BILLIONS OF DLAMPLETS SO AS YOU
CAN IMAGINE, WALL STREET IS
PRETTY UNHAPPY WITH THOSE REDDIT
INVESTORS.
A HANDFUL OF INDUSTRY LEADERS
ARE CALLING FOR AN INVESTIGATION
BECAUSE OF THE ANGRY MOB THAT’S
FORMED AGAINST THEM.
LAST WEEK WASN’T A FREE
MARKET, IT WAS A FREE-FOR-ALL
MARKET.
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, FOR MY 25
YEARS IN THE BUSINESS, I’VE
NEVER SEEN THIS FORM OF
COLLUSION ON SUCH A WIDESPREAD
FASHION.
THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR IS NOT
THE BEHAVIOR THAT YOU WANT TO BE
REPLICATING.
I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING
OBVIOUSLY WRONG AND IT’S THE
GAMEFICATION OF WALL STREET.
TALKED TO AN ANALYST THIS
MORNING, GUYS, HE SAYS THIS IS
DANGEROUS.
THEY FORGET BUYING A STOCK IN A
PIECE OF COMPANY IS NOT JUST
SOME SYMBOL YOU PLAY HOT POTATO
WITH.
JUST BECAUSE YOU THROW THE
HAIL MARY PASS IN YOUR BACKYARD
AND IT’S CAUGHT FOR THE
TOUCHDOWN IN THE WIND DOESN’T
MEAN YOU’RE TOM BRADY.
WHAT’S GOING THROUGH MY MIND
IS HOW IRRELEVANT I FEEL AND HOW
EVERY DAY I JUST DON’T WANT TO
GET OUT OF BED AND HOW IT’S THE
LEAST AMOUNT OF FUN I THINK I’VE
EVER HAD.
Trevor: OH, MAN!
THESE WALL STREET GUYS ARE
TAKING THIS SO HARD THAT THEIR
INRVIEWS ARE JUST TURNING INTO
THERAPY SESSIONS.
I FEEL SO IRRELEVANT RIGHT NOW,
AND I’M NOT HAVING ANY FUN!
AND I JUST REMEMBERED MY PARENTS
NEVER HUNG MY PAINTINGS ON THE
REFRIGERATOR!
( CRYING )
THE TRUTH IS WHAT THE REDDIT DID
IS NOTHING NEW.
THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES THIS
SO UNIQUE IS THIS IS JUST THE
FIRST TIME THAT IT THERELE GUY
HAS USED THE BIG GUYS’ TACTICS
AGAINST THEM BECAUSE, WHEN IT
COMES TO MANIPULATING THE MARKET
AND TREATING TRADES LIKE A GAME,
NO ONE IS BETTER AT IT THAN
WALL STREET.
THEY DO THIS SHIT ALL THE TIME.
IN FACT, LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT A
FEW EXAMPLES STARTING WITH A
SCAM ONE BIG BANK PULLED JUST A
FEW YEARS AGO.
THE "NEW YORK TIMES"
REPORTING OVER THE WEEKEND THAT
GOLDMAN SACHS IS RUNNING A
SCHEME TO ARTIFICIALLY INFLATE
ALUMINUM PRICES.
AN ALUMINUM WAREHOUSE OWNED
BY GOLDMAN SACHS OWNS A QUARTER
OF THE NORTH AMERICAN DEMAND FOR
THE METAL BUT DISTRIBUTES
3,000 TONS A DAY, NO MORE, NO
LESS, WHATEVER THE DEMAND,
PUSHING THE PRICES OF THE METAL
HIGHER EVEN AS DEMAND DECLINED.
GOLDMAN PROFITS TWO WAYS, FIRST
FROM THE EXTENDED RENTS PAID TO
STORE THE METAL AND SECOND BY
THE BETS MADE ON ALUMINUM
FUTURES BY ITS TRADING ARM.
THE INFLATED ALUMINUM PRICING
BY GOLDMAN AND OTHER FINANCIAL
PLAYERS HAS COST AMERICAN
CONSUMERS $5 BILLION OVER THE
LAST THREE YEARS.
Trevor: YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT.
BASICALLY, GOLDMAN SACHS
MANIPULATED THE SUPPLY OF
ALUMINUM BY ONLY LETTING OUT A
LITTLE BIT AT A TIME.
THE SAME WAY DANIEL DAY LEWIS
LIMITS THE SUPPLY OF MOVIES HE’S
BEEN IN.
HE’S ONLY BEEN IN SIX MOVIES IN
THE PAST 20 YEARS.
GET TO WORK, DANNY!
THE REST OF THE SEGMENT, I
PRONOUNCE IT ALUMINUM, EVEN
THOUGH THE CORRECT PRUNES NATION
IS AL-MIN-YUM.
ALUMINUM SHOULD NEVER BE
HOARDED.
IT NEEDS TO BE USED THE WAY GOD
INTEND TO MAKE CONDOMS FOR
ROBOTS OR MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE
TO WEAR AS A HAT.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, GOLDMAN SACHS
GOT AWAY WITH THIS SCHEME FOR A
YEARS UNTIL PEOPLE CAUGHT ON TO
IT.
SO I GUESS YOU COULD SAY THEIR
ALUMINUM PLAN -- WAS FOILED.
WOW!
BOW, BOW, BOW!
AS CRAZY AS THIS IS, IT’S A
COMMON TACTIC WITH WALL STREET.
YOU TAKE OVER A MARKET AND
MANIPULATE THE SUPPLY TO DRIVE
UP THE PRICE.
LIKE HOW J.P. HORGEN USED ITS
CONTROL OVER ELECTRICITY TO
FELICIA CALIFORNIA.
JP MORGAN CHASTE ACCUSED OF
MANIPULATING ENERGY PRICES AND
DRIVING UP THE ELECTRIC BILLS OF
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS.
WHEN ENERGY PRICES ARE LOW
THEY WOULD BID THEM UP AT NIGHT
SO IN THE MORNING THE COMPANIES
WOULD FIND THE PRICES
ARTIFICIALLY HIGH, SO THEY WOULD
HAVE TO BUY THE ENERGY IN THE
MORNING WHEN IT WAS VERY VERY
EXPENSIVE.
IN ONE DAYS JP MORGAN DUPED
CALIFORNIA UTILITIES INTO PAYING
$999 PER MEGAWATT HOUR WHEN THE
GOING RATE BUZZ ONLY $12.
Trevor: THIS SHIT IS CRAZY.
THESE GUYS WERE SITTING AROUND
THE TABLE, I’M TIRED OF ABUSING
OUR POWER METAPHORICALLY, LET’S
GOT IT FOR REAL.
THE PRICE OF ELECTRICITY WENT UP
FROM $12 TO $1,000 PER MEGAWATT.
EVEN THE AMISH SAID I DON’T KNOW
WHAT ELECTRICITY IS BUT THAT
SHIT IS MESSED UP!
I HOPE THE AMISH COMMUNITY
DOESN’T COME AFTER ME ON TWITTER
FOR THAT ONE.
I WOULD BE LESS UPSET IF YOU
JUMPED AND ROBBED ME, AT LEAST
IT FEELS LIKE YOU HAD TO ROB IT.
HEDGE FUND PEOPLE AREN’T
ASHAMED.
SOME EVEN BRAG ABOUT IT ON THE
TV.
JIM CRAMER ONCE MADE A
FORTUNE RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL
HEDGE FUND.
HE WENT ON TO HOST HIS OWN TV
SHOW MAD MONEY THAT OFFERS STOCK
TIPS TO INVESTORS.
BUT AS CRAMER FOUND OUT LATELY,
A LOT OF AMERICANS ARE MAD AT
HIM.
THIS VIDEO MADE IN 2006 HAS
SUDDENLY GONE VIRAL.
CRAMER EXPLAINS TO HIS OWN
FINANCIAL WEB SITE STREET.com
HOW HE COULD INFLUENCE STOCK
PRICES UP AND DOWN AS THE
MANAGER OF A MASSIVE HEDGE FUND.
A LOT OF TIMES WHEN I WAS SHORT AT MY HEDGE FUND AND
POSITIONED ATPOSITIONED IT SHORT
CRATE A LEVEL OF ACTIVITY
BEFOREHAND THAT WOULD DRIVE THE
FUTURES.
DOESN’T TAKE MUCH MONEY BUT IT’S
FUN AND LUCRATIVE.
I ENCOURAGE ANYONE IN THE HEDGE
FUND TO DO IT BECAUSE IT IS
LEGAL AND A QUICK WAY TO MAKE
MONEY AND VERY SATISFYING.
NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD WOULD
ADMIT THAT BUT I DON’T CARE.
Trevor: THESE PEOPLE HAVE
NO SHAME, NO A SILI: HE’S OUT
HERE BOASTING ABOUT HIS EVIL
PLANS.
THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO DO THAT ARE
HEDGE FUND GUYS AND BOND
VILLAINS.
LISTEN -- IT’S LEGAL AND IT’S
VERY SATISFYING.
JUST AS A GENERAL RULE, WHENEVER
YOU HAVE TO REMIND SOMETHING
THAT SOMETHING IS LEGAL, IT’S
PROBABLY SHADY.
NO ONE’S EVER, LIKE, HEY,
TREVOR, YOU WANT TO GO TO THE
CHEESECAKE FACTORY?
IT’S LEGAL.
AH...
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO HURTING
PEOPLE IN ORDER TO MAKE A BUCK
NOTHING COMES TO THE GREAT
RECESSION IN 2008 WHICH WAS
CAUSED BY, GUESS WHO?
WALL STREET MANIPULATING THE
MARKETS.
DURING THE HOT HOUSING
MARKET, BANKS TOOK MILLIONS OF
HOME MORTGAGES, MANY HELD BY
PEOPLE WHO COULD NOT AFFORD
THEM, AND BUNDLED THEM INTO MACK
JESS SUCH AS MORTGAGE
SECURITIES.
JP MORGAN ADMITTED IT SOLD
PACKAGES TO INVERTS EVEN THOUGH
ITS EXECUTIVES KNEW MANY TO HAVE
THE MORTGAGES WERE HIGHLY
SUSPECT.
WHEN THE MARKET COLLAPSED, THOSE
PACKAGES BECAME MOSTLY
WORTHLESS.
GOLDMAN SOLD INVERTS SUB
PRIME MORTGAGE PACKAGES BUT MADE
ITS OWN BET THE SAME INVESTMENTS
WOULD LOSE VALUE WITHOUT TELLING
INVERTS.
GOLDMAN EMPLOYEES THEMSELVES
USED PROFANITY TO DISPARAGE THE
DEALS.
BOW, THAT TIMBER WOLF WAS ONE
(~BLEEP~) DEAL.
WHEN ASKED ANY OF THE
EXECUTIVES PARTLY RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE COLLAPSE --
THERE ARE THINGS WE WISH WE
WOULD HAVE DONE BETTER IN
HINDSIGHT...
OR EVEN REGRET --
REGRET TO ME MEANS SOMETHING
YOU FEEL YOU DID WRONG AND I
DON’T HAVE THAT.
WHEN YOU HEAR YOUR OWN
EMPLOYEES OR READ ABOUT THOSE IN
E-MAILS, DO YOU FEEL ANYTHING?
I THINK THAT’S VERY
UNFORTUNATE TO HAVE ON EMAIL.
AND VERY UNFORTUNATE -- I DON’T
KNOW --
ON EMAIL.
HOW ABOUT FEELING THAT WAY.
I THINK IT’S VERY UNFORTUNATE
FOR ANYONE TO HAVE SAID THAT.
Trevor: EVEN THE CROWD IN
THE CHAMBER WAS LIKE, OH!
YOU KNOW HOW BAD YOU HAVE TO
SCREW THINGS UP TO TURN A SENATE
HEARING INTO A JERRY SPRINGER
TAPING?
THAT’S HOW YOU KNOW HOW
PSYCHOTIC THESE GUYS ARE, NOT
ONLY DID THEY TANK THE ECONOMY
BUT THEY TALK ABET MOTIONS LIKE
THEY’RE SERIAL KILLERS.
DO YOU REGRET OUTER HG THESE
PEOPLE?
REGRET IS A THING ONE FEELS WHEN
ONE HAS DONE SOMETHING WRONG.
I MEAN, HOW CAN YOU EXPECT THESE
GUYS TO CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOR
WHEN THEY CAN’T EVEN EXPRESS
THE CLOSEST WALL STREET COMES TO
REFLECTING IS DOING COKE OFF OF
A MIRROR.
SO AFTER ALL THE DAMAGE
WALL STREET HAS DONE TO PEOPLE’S
LIVES, PLEASE MISS ME WITH ALL
OF THIS WHINING ABOUT HOW UNFAIR
IT IS FOR REDDIT TO BOOST GAME
STOP.
DON’T GET ME WRONG, I’M NOT
SAYING ALL REDDIT GUYS ARE
HEROES, BUT I WILL SAY IT HAS
BEEN FUN WATCHING HOW SOME
PEOPLE WHO GOT RICH OFF GAME
STOP HAVE BEEN SPENDING THEIR
MONEY.
WHILE GAME STOP MINTED PLENTY
OF MILLIONAIRES, MANY INVESTORS
ARE USING MORE MODEST PROFITS TO
BAY BILLS.
ONE INVESTOR PAID OFF HIS
STUDENT LOAN DEBT.
10-YEAR-OLD JAYDEN CAR, TWO
YEARS AGO HIS MOM BROUGHT HIM
TEN SHARES OF GAMESHOP AS A
KWANZA GIFT, BACK THEN $6 EACH.
NOW HE SOLD THEM FOR MORE THAN
$3,000.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH
THE MONEY YOU MADE ON GAME STOP?
I’VE ALREADY SAVED 2,200 OF
IT AND THE REST OF THE THOUSAND
IS GOING TO INVEST IN MORE
COMPANIES.
HUNTER CASHED IN ON THE GAME
STOP PHENOMENON LAST BEAK WEEK
BUT NOT JUST FOR HIMSELF, HE
USED SOME OF THE MONEY HE MADE
TO DONATE SIX NINTENDO SWITCHES
AND GAMES TO THE CHILDREN’S
HOSPITAL IN MINNESOTA.
ONE DAY TRADER WHO CASHED IN
ON THE CRAZE WALKED INTO A GAME
STOP STORE AND STARTED HANDING
OUT $100 BILLS TO EMPLOYEES.
AFTER THE ROBIN HOOD APP
HALTED TRADING ON GAME STOP ONE
INVESTOR CHARTED A PLANE WITH A
BANNER SAYING SUCK MY NUTS,
ROBIN HOON.
Trevor: THAT’S A GANGSTER
MOVE, TWITTER BUT IN THE SKY.
YOU CAN SAY IT’S CHILDISH TO
TAKE MONEY YOU SAVED ON
WALL STREET TO DUNK ON
WALL STREET, BUT IN THE WORDS OF
JAMES CRAMER, IT’S LEGAL AND
VERY SATISFYING!
WHEN WE COME BACK, IBRAM X.
KENDI WILL TALK ABOUT
AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY THAT
YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED. SO DON’T GO AWAY.
EARLIER TODAY, I SPOKE WITH
PROFESSOR IBRAM X. KENDI.
HE’S AN HISTORIAN WHO YOU MIGHT
KNOW FROM HIS AWARD-WINNING
BOOK, "HOW TO BE AND
ANTIRACIST."
WE TALKED ABOUT HIS NEW
ANTHOLOGY OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN
HISTORY AND SO MUCH MORE.
PROFESSOR KENDI, WELCOME TO "THE
DAILY SOCIAL DISTANCING SHOW."
IT’S GREAT TO BE BACK ON THE
SHOW.
Trevor: YEAH, IT’S GOOD TO
BE BACK FOR YOU.
BUT TECHNICALLY, THE LAST TIME I
SAW YOU WAS IN THE STUDIO.
YES.
Trevor: A LOT HAS CHANGED
SINCE THEN, NOT JUST THE FACT
THAT PEOPLE ARE AT HOME BUT THE
FACT THAT AMERICA HAS SEEN SO
MANY CHANGES, AND, YET, SOME MAY
ARGUE AMERICA HAS SEEN SO MUCH
MORE TO HAVE THE SAME.
YOUR BOOK ROSE TO THE "NEW YORK
TIMES" BEST SELLER LIST DURING
THE PROTESTS, AND WHAT MANY
PEOPLE GOT FROM YOUR WORK IS HOW
YOU LAID OUT STEPS FOR PEOPLE TO
ENGAGE IN ANTIRACISM.
TELL ME MORE ABOUT THAT AND WHY
YOU FELT IT WAS NECESSARY TO LAY
OUT THE STEPS AND THE TOOLS
PEOPLE COULD USE AND WHY IT’S
IMPORTANT TO BEING ANTIRACIST AS
OPPOSED TO NOT RACIST.
WHEN RACIAL INEQUITY AND
JUSTICE IS NORMAL, WHEN YOU DO
NOTHING WHAT HAPPENS TO THE
NORMALITY?
IT’S GOING TO PERSIST.
SO I REALLY WANTED TO ENCOURAGE
PEOPLE TO ACTIVELY CHALLENGE
RACISM, BUT ALSO TO REALIZE
THERE’S A DIRECT OPPOSITE TO
NOTIONS OF RACIAL HIERARCHY, AND
THAT’S NOTIONS OF RACIAL
EQUALITY, WHICH ARE ANTIRACIST
IDEAS.
THERE’S A DIRECT OPPOSITE TO
POLICIES THAT LEAD TO MAINTAIN
RACIAL INEQUITY, AND THAT’S
ANTIRACIST POLICY.
SO WE CAN BE CREATING A
DIFFERENT TYPE OF AMERICA WITH
DIFFERENT TYPES OF POLICIES AND
DIFFERENT TYPE OF IDEAS.
Trevor: A LOT OF PEOPLE
LOVE YOUR WORK BECAUSE YOU DELVE
INTO THE PAST AND TIE IT TO THE
PRESENT.
THIS PROJECT IS REALLY SPECIAL
BECAUSE YOU’RE EDITING A BOOK
ABOUT THE HISTORY OF BEING
AFRICAN-AMERICAN, AND YET,
INSTEAD OF JUST LOOKING AT IT
THROUGH THE LENS OF ONE PERSON,
ONE AUTHOR, ONE STORYTELLER,
YOU’VE GONE WITH MULTIPLE
STORIES.
EVERYONE FROM I’VE REWALK OF
LIFE WHO FOUGHT FOR BLACK
FREEDOM IN AMERICA FROM SLAVE
TRADE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE
CURRENT DAY, TELL ME WHY YOU
THOUGHT YOU COULD RETELL A STORY
THAT HAS BEEN TOLD SO MANY TIMES
IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
WHY DID YOU THINK I’LL JUMP ON
THIS PROJECT TO EDIT THIS BOOK?
WELL, I MEAN, WITH THE
400th ANNIVERSARY OR BIRTHDAY
OF BLACK AMERICA APPROACHING, I
THINK WE WANTED TO FIGURE OUT A
NEW WAY TO TELL BLACK AMERICA’S
HISTORY.
WE WANTED A NEW WAY TO
COMMEMORATE THIS MOMENT.
ONE OF THE OLDEST RACIST IDEAS
IS THIS IDEA THAT WE’RE A
MONOLITH.
THAT THERE’S NOT INCREDIBLE
DIVERSITY WITHIN BLACK AMERICA.
AND, ALSO, AFRICAN-AMERICAN
HISTORY HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN
WRITTEN BY A MAN, OFTENTIMES A
BLACK MAN.
SO I THINK, WITH THOSE TWO
THINGS, WE REALLY WANTED TO
BRING TOGETHER A COMMUNITY TO
WRITE THE HISTORY OF A
COMMUNITY, AN EXTREMELY DIVERSE
COMMUNITY.
I THINK THAT’S ONE OF THE THINGS
WE’RE MOTT PROUD ABOUT IN TERMS
OF THIS BOOK, JUST THE DIVERSITY
OF BLACKNESS WITHIN THE BOOK,
AND EVEN THE ORDINARY AND
EXTRAORDINARY CHARACTERS WE
SHARE.
Trevor: WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THOSE STORIES, DO YOU EVER
WONDER WHAT YOUR DREAM IS FOR
THE END GOAL?
SOMETIMES I’LL TALK TO FRIENDS
WHO WILL SAY WHAT IS, LIKE, YOUR
DEFINITION WHITE PRIVILEGE?
FOR MY IT’S YOU HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO FAIL AND SUCCEED
ON YOUR BEHALF AND YOUR BEHALF
ALONE.
IF A WHITE MAN LAUNCHES A ROCKET
TO THE MOON OR SHOOTS UP A
SCHOOL THAT’S WHAT HE DID.
IF A BLACK PERSON LAUNCHES A
ROCKET TO THE MOON, I MEAN,
THESE NIGGERS BE LAUNCHING
ROCKETS.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
AS A PROFESSOR WHO STUDIES RACE,
WHAT PLACE DO YOU HOPE TO SEE US
ACHIEVE?
WELL, IT’S IRONIC YOU SPEAK
ABOUT THAT INDIVIDUALITY BECAUSE
I THINK, IN THE INTRODUCTION TO
"FOUR HUNDRED SOULS," I WROTE
ABOUT HOW WE’RE NOT ABLE AS A
BLACK PEOPLE TO BE INDIVIDUALS,
RIGHT.
AND, SO, CERTAINLY, FOR ME, THAT
WOULD BE AN END GOAL.
BUT I ALSO THINK, YOU KNOW,
JUSTICE.
YOU KNOW, EQUAL JUSTICE, YOU
KNOW, FOR ALL PEOPLES.
JUST SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS,
WHEN I SEE A MEMBER OF PUBLIC
SAFETY OR A POLICE OFFICER OR
WHATEVER WE WOULD HAVE IN THE
FUTURE, I DON’T FEEL SCARED, YOU
KNOW.
Trevor: RIGHT.
WHEN I HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING
WRONG, I’M NOT GOING TO
CERTAINLY FEEL SCARED.
OR SOMETHING LIKE I WALK INTO A
PLACE TO APPLY FOR A JOB, AND I
DON’T HAVE TO LOOK TWICE AT WHAT
I’M WEARING, HOW I’M GOING TO
SPEAK, BECAUSE THAT’S NOT REALLY
GOING TO MATTER, YOU KNOW,
ESPECIALLY IF, YOU KNOW, I HAVE
THE QUALIFICATIONS.
Trevor: I’VE ALWAYS
WONDERED, YOU KNOW, WHEN I
TRAVELED THE WORLD, YOU KNOW, I
WOULD BE LUCKY ENOUGH, MY COMEDY
WOULD TAKE ME TO DIFFERENT
COUNTRIES.
I WAS ALWAYS INTRIGUED BY HOW
BLACK PEOPLE SPECIFICALLY WOULD
BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY WHEN THEY
WERE NOT THE BLACK OF THAT
COUNTRY.
YOU KNOW, LIKE, BLACK AMERICANS
WOULD COME TO SOUTH AFRICA, AND
OFTENTIMES, WHETHER IT WAS
SHOPKEEPERS OR JUST PEOPLE IN
THE STREET, THEY WOULD BE, LIKE,
OH, YOU’RE A BLACK AMERICAN,
VERY, VERY DIFFERENT.
SOMETIMES EVEN AFRICANS FROM
OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRY WOULD COME
AND BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY, THE
ASSUME I WOULD NOTICE IN
AMERICA.
IS THERE SOMETHING IN THE STORY
OF RACE THAT IS ALSO TIED TO THE
HISTORY OF THE COUNTRY AS TO HOW
THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY
TREATED THE PEOPLE IN THE
COUNTRY.
I THINK RACE AND RACISM IS
SIMULTANEOUSLY GLOBAL AND
NATIONAL.
NERD, YOU CAN SEE SIMILAR TRENDS
ACROSS THE WORLD, BUT EACH OF
THOSE TRENDS, EACH OF THOSE
POLICIES AND EACH OF THOSE
RACIAL CONSTRUCTIONS ARE
DISTINCT TO THE NATION.
BUT WHAT’S ALSO CONSISTENT IS
PRETTY MUCHETTE RINATION IN THE
WORLD ARGUES THAT THEY’RE NOT
RACIST TOWARDS BLACK PEOPLE.
( LAUGHTER )
Trevor: YEAH, YOU SEE THAT
ACROSS THE BOARD, WHETHER IT’S
THE SOUTH AFRICAN APARTHEID
GOVERNMENT OR TO THE U.S.,
PEOPLE GO, NO, NO, WE’RE NOT
RACIST, WE JUST DO THESE RACIST
THINGS TO THESE PEOPLE.
THERE’S A NEW ADMINISTRATION IN
THE WHITE HOUSE.
MANY PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THIS IS A
NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR AMERICA.
JOE BIDEN HAS SAID ON MULTIPLE
OCCASIONS THAT RACISM IS GOING
TO BE AT THE FOREFRONT OF HIS
AGENDA, WHICH HAS DRAWN HIM A
LOT OF CRITICISM.
WHAT WOULD YOU HOPE THAT HE
WOULD ACTUALLY DO THAT COULD
MOVE AMERICA FORWARD IN
ACHIEVING THAT RACIAL EQUALITY?
WELL, ONE THING HE’S DOING
WITH THE CORONAVIRUS IS HE
CONTINUES TO SAY THAT HE’S GOING
TO PUT SCIENCE BEFORE POLITICS,
AND, SO, AS IT RELATES TO RACIAL
INEQUITY AND INJUST AT INJUSTICE
WAS TO PUT SCIENCE BEFORE
POLITICS, IF HE WAS TO
ESSENTIALLY LOOK AT WHAT
SCHOLARS ARE SAYING, HOW WE CAN
ELIMINATE INEQUITIES AND
INJUSTICES, HOW WE CAN REDUCE OR
ELIMINATE POLICE VIOLENCE, NOT
NECESSARILY BE CONCERNED ABOUT
WHITE SWING OR EVEN REPUBLICAN
VOTERS, I THINK HE WOULD BE ABLE
TO MAKE SERIOUS ADVANCES INT
ROOTING OUT RACISM.
BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS
THE IRONY IS THE VERY FOLKS WHO
SUPPORT RACIST POLICIES THAT
DRIVE US APART THROUGH
INEQUITIES, WHO SUPPORT RACIST
POLICIES THAT MAINTAIN RACIAL
INJUSTICE THAT CAUSES PEOPLE TO
BE KILLED BY POLICE WHICH THEN
LEADS TO MASS DEMONSTRATIONS ARE
THE VERY PEOPLE TRYING TO CLAIM
WE’RE DIVISIVE, RIGHT.
I MEAN, THAT’S THE FUNDAMENTAL,
YOU KNOW, FALLACY.
WE WANT -- EQUALITY BRINGS
PEOPLE TOGETHER, LAST I HEARD.
Trevor: RIGHT.
WELL, I WILL SAY THIS, IT WILL
ALWAYS BE A JOURNEY, ALWAYS BE A
CHALLENGING ONE, BUT TO HAVE
PEOPLE LIKE YOU WRITING THE MOST
AMAZING WORKS TO HELP US FIGURE
IT OUT HELPS EVERY SINGLE DAY.
SO THANK YOU FOR JOINING US ON
THE SHOW AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR
EDITING THIS AMAZING PIECE OF
WORK AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU
AGAIN.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, TREVOR.
