#705 When the far-left communist and the far right national-socialist decide to make music together (preview)
TODAY: Alex recommend Common Side Effects, a new animated show from the creators of Scavenger's Reign, Mike Judge, and Greg Daniels. Can a hippie nerd with a magic mushroom take down Big Pharma and their government cronies? ALSO: Trump tells reporters his "third term" speculation isn't a joke, and his loyal followers pretend that its still a joke, lament that it's not real, and mock liberals for their concern. We discuss the methods Trump might use to run for a third term and wonder if this final power grab would be enough for normal liberals to start doing very cool things. LASTLY: We review some instagram clickbait slop in the form of Nazbol butt rock. Can the far left and the far right unite to make cutting music for 13 year-olds about flying on broken wings??

There's these segments of the right wing who fell for their own shit too hard.
You know, they fell for their own, oh, immigrants are making this country worse because they're violent and brown and yada, yada, yada.
And it's just like, no, you got it flipped.
Yeah. You hate the immigrants because that's useful to Capitol to A, keep us divided and...
B. Have a more exploitable workforce.
You got too caught up in one of these tactics and lost your minds about it.
So we're just going to pull you back over here.
But it's like, on the face of it, they're right.
You are a fool if you hate your undocumented neighbor.
More than you like money.
It's just like money shouldn't be the end-all be-all, but having money is better than rounding people up in a black minivan.
It's only the most psychotic people who are like, yeah, I'm willing to hurt my country in order just to hurt brown people as well.
Yeah, I got a little bad news for you.
A lot of those people that you're mad at who you think are playing their music too loud or whatever, they're just Americans.
They can't be deported necessarily, so you got the wrong idea here.
Yeah, and I mean, there's other good...
Stories about people resisting ICE.
I'm reading here from Kate Cagle, who is a local news reporter for Southern California.
LAUSD confirms plainclothes federal agents tried to question kids at two elementary schools in Los Angeles Monday, but were denied entry by administrators.
Superintendent Carvalho said the agents claimed they had parent permission to question the kids, but it wasn't true because the kids didn't even have parents.
They were there under legal guardianship.
They were unaccompanied minors who had legal guardians in care of them or caring for them.
Carvalho said the agents were seeking to talk to five children who came to this country as unaccompanied minors and are in the care of legal guardians.
LAUSD's... Legal team is responding.
The agents did not have warrants to access the campuses.
So, wow, it's crazy.
A police force lied in order to gain access to a resident or a human being?
Wow, that's crazy.
I've never heard of this before.
Are they allowed to lie, Tony?
I love that they're so evil that in their lies...
They just exposed how precarious these poor kids' situation is.
Yeah. Oh, hey, we got permission from the parents.
You did?
Because they're here under some legal guardianship.
Their parents are trying to get over here.
That's not what's happening.
They're having a rough time right now, dude.
Yeah, so I just...
I don't know.
I wanted to highlight these other good efforts by organizations and people to prevent ICE from doing what they're trying to do.
And this is something that...
We've seen before with just regular police as well, like school teachers and school districts actually protecting children from these Nazi asshole freaks.
And this is another reason why the right wants to destroy teachers and destroy public schools is because it's one of the few large organizations of good people, good real people that exist in this country.
So, shout out to the LAUSD.
I mean, I'm sure I know there's probably problems with it, but this is the right move, and we applaud them for it.
Yeah, it's awesome.
I was just talking to a teacher friend who's retired, and she was just talking about how bad it is and how some of the kids are just so disrespectful.
And I was like, well, you know it's because their parents hate them all.
And she's like, yeah, I guess so.
I'm like, yeah, people hate teachers now.
We talk about it all the time.
People hate teachers now.
It's a whole new thing.
Yeah, of course they're going to come up against more problems when their parents hate them.
They go home and all their parents do is talk about how their teacher is probably a pervert or whatever.
And of course this is going to happen.
It's fucked up what teachers have got to go through.
And now they've got to go through this too.
There's going to be people villainizing them throughout these entire comments, huh?
Yeah, there was a couple.
A few of them were like...
How dare these teachers fear-monger to these children?
Well, I think that's maybe something that they should be afraid of.
Fucking literal stormtrooper Gestapo, the people that libertarians pretended were coming for them for the last 30 years are actually coming for children.
Sorry if we're trying to warn people about it and protect the students.
I think a lot of what modern teachers have to deal with now is YouTube and Twitch funneling young men into the worst personalities the internet has to offer as some sort of form of entertainment or role model.
I hesitate to blame technology or blame phone, phone bad or yada yada, but the phone is kind of bad.
Just like TV is bad if you sit in front of it all day.
Phone also bad if you just fucking get your idea of what women are like from Andrew Tate or any of these like Asmongol, any of these like incredibly popular,
genuine misanthropes, genuinely like hateful people.
Of course, like they're going to have adverse effects on society.
There are a lot of things that kids shouldn't be, that people shouldn't be exposed to until, you know, the whole frontal lobe is developed type thing, you know?
It's like, yeah, I smoke weed, you know?
But my kid doesn't get to smoke weed.
So, yeah, I get to be on social media looking at this stuff.
