CONSPIRACY NOISE AND POP CULTURE RAGE: We Unpack Why Media Narratives Feel Fake

I rant through the week’s political noise and pop culture headlines, then dig into why conspiracy thinking spreads faster than basic facts. We also vent about Hollywood’s political bubble, broken storytelling, and why regular viewers are checking out.

 
• Conspiracy chatter around the Charlie Kirk shooting and why the simple       story fits 
• Why legal drama rarely works for me except a few classics 
• How I pick commentators and why debate culture feels fake 
• Jerry O'Connell's  political story that shows how intense people get at home 
• Protests, Iran, and selective outrage from loud Hollywood voices 
• Government shutdown talk tied to voter ID arguments 
• Elon Musk covering salaries for TSA and ICE support at airports

Quick Catch-Up And Old News

SPEAKER_01 0:00

You are listening to the objective jerk, and I am set jerk. I don't know why I do that. What's going on, everybody? Everybody's good, everybody's alright. Let's see. Uh what did I talk about last time? It was Chuck Norris dying. And then it was like, who's the third? There's the dude from Buffy. And then who's the third actor? And I don't know if she qualifies, but she was in, I can't think of her name, but she was in the Superman film. And she was in some other stuff too. This older actress passed away. Plus some other people, but nobody. I mean, some would argue that Chuck Norris isn't really. I mean, he was never like, I guess what they call A-list, because he never had like a huge movie, but you know, just his history and the truth and the fact that he was actually a martial artist, not just an actor. And he got to spar with Bruce Lee, knew Bruce Lee, and and then his memes, you know, they just put him up into the stratosphere.

SPEAKER_00 1:07

I always I don't know. They're just funny. But yeah. So what's going on? Lots of because the Charlie Kirk, the guy, what's this?

Charlie Kirk Shooting Conspiracies

SPEAKER_01 1:25

I can't think of his name right now, the guy that shot him. He's on trial. Or they're doing so I don't think it's started yet. They're trying to get through all the preliminary crap or whatever. I don't know. The only legal drama I ever liked was a few good men. Other than that, I don't really care much for watching legal movies or shows. It's just it was never interesting to me. But I do like a few good men. But yeah, there's like there's so many conspiracies about Charlie Kirk, like who shot him? Like, is Israel, and you know, and because he was he was preventing this war against Iran. I'm like, who Charlie Kirk? No. How the who what? Like, no, you know, it's like, no, some crazy trans lover dude shot and killed him. There might have been a conspiracy between the trans community because of all the the messaging and discord and all that kind of crap with them. But no, if there was like a legit government conspiracy, whether it's with you know Israel or whatever, the guy would be dead. So the fact that he's alive and going to trial, no, I don't I don't think there is. But man, some people are just going crazy with it. Like, what's her face? I don't watch, I don't watch any of the I like you know, I watch creators, but they're generally normal people that have created, you know, they're not people who got the jump on YouTube, like people that probably would have been on Fox or on some kind of something, but ended up going with like Daily Wire, whatever. I don't I don't follow Daily Wire, I don't watch any of those. There are some of those people I like. I

Commentators We Watch And Skip

SPEAKER_01 3:25

can't think of any of their names right now. I don't know why I'm I'm horrible with names, but the guy with the beard, I'll watch some of his stuff. But uh the little Jew kid, Ben Shapiro, he bugged me. I liked the way he, you know, because I'm not a debater. I can't I can't remember anybody's name, so I can't remember dates or facts or anything. So I am the last person to actually get in a debate. I mean, I don't like discuss and talk with somebody, but if they're gonna be like, okay, that's no, it's not my thing. And it's because I'm not good at it, you know.

SPEAKER_00 4:00

So but I always I used to like watching some of Ben Shapiro's debates or Candace Owen.

SPEAKER_01 4:12

But she's kind of gone off the deep end a little bit, you know. And you know, some would say like it's no more deeper than the InfoWars guy. What's his face? But at least a lot of the stuff that guy brought up, which I can't think of his name right now, but you know, end up happening or was true, you know what I mean? I mean, it seems like he his theories were at least based off a couple possible facts or some, you know what I mean? But Candace Owens, though, seems like she just makes shit up out of thin air. I don't know. Kind of sucks because I kind of liked her. I was when she first got her own channel, I was watching her, but I don't know. I kind of I quit watching it, but but generally now I just watched individuals who are just kind of normal people but that are smart and you know do their own research. Liberal hive mind, Dr. What's his face? What's his name? Steve Turley? Is that it? Steve Turley. I think I might be wrong. I might be right. I don't know. I watch the quartering. People are like, the guy's an idiot. He's a normal guy, you know. He just he he's not afraid to share his opinion, and if he's wrong, he's wrong, or whatever. But he's kind of like the one that I kind of watch in the mornings when I'm drinking my coffee. I don't watch all of his stuff, just you know, I think sometimes he ends up, you know, he's you know, he'll pick topics that I guess get the views and stuff, and I get kind of tired of it, but anyway, so that's going on, right? Yeah, and then Jerry O'Connell, little fat kid from Saved by the Bell, Saved by the Bell, Stand By

Jerry O’Connell And Politics At Home

SPEAKER_01 6:10

Me, who I didn't even know he was married to the two what's her do I got her name on here? She was Mystique and X-Men. I didn't even know they were married, but apparently she's a psycho-liberal, man. He was on a podcast with Bill Maher. And you know, during the election night, he shared like a little story about how you know, like, oh my gosh, you know, Harris is losing. And he was like, Well, yeah, it's probably because they didn't, you know, they didn't do the uh whatchamacallit. They just they threw her in there, she wasn't voted in. She the primaries, you know, there was and he just pointed that out, and then they got mad, and he said, they got physical. And it's like, dude, you're getting beaten by your wife and your daughters over politics. What the fuck? Dude, he needs to dump that woman in a heartbeat and then keep his daughters at a distance.

SPEAKER_00 7:11

That sounds bad, but man. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 7:21

But I think that's how a lot of the actors that live in LA and love LA and love the culture and love the politics, that's how they are. And what's her face? I mean, I'm not really a blonde, I'm not into blondes, but I mean can't deny that she wasn't pretty hot back in the day, or maybe even now. I didn't know they were married though. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 7:44

But yeah, so she's a hot psycho, liberal. Man, I feel bad for the dude. Yeah. That's pretty rough. Then let's see. And then it's like those same people like oh man, I almost had her name. Romain Rebecca? Rebecca Romain? Right? Is that it?

unknown 8:13

Rebecca Romaine.

SPEAKER_00 8:14

Rebecca Romain. Stamos, because she was married to Jesse from Full House. Dude, he was smart. Getting rid of that bitch. But it's these same retarded people like at the Oscars or whatever.

SPEAKER_01 8:32

Do I have the Oscars? No, I've talked about the Oscars, right? Just idiots that don't know what they're doing. They're just I'm a liberal, so I'm supposed to talk about this or whatever. I don't know what it is, but it's

Iran Takes And Protest Confusion

SPEAKER_01 8:45

these people who are, you know, mad about Iran, which again, I'm not I don't like the idea of the police in the world and invading whatever, but Iran it was needed.

SPEAKER_00 8:58

Iraq, no. But this, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:03

And they, you know, the Iranian government executed a 19-year-old wrestler or something, an Olympic wrestler, because he was outspoken. And oh, yeah, but yeah, the Iran, how dare you? You know, it's like it just is why, and I'm guessing I'm grateful for it. I'm grateful that liberals are so fucking stupid because normal people are catching on, but it's like they sit there and cry about Iran and and and else no, what was the country where they just went in and took the dude? I can't even remember a while ago, a month or two ago. You know, these were actual dictators, and yet they're holding these protests, no kings and only stuff. It's like do you even listen to what you're saying? It's like you're so fucking stupid. But again, I'm grateful because normal people are like noticing this and they're like, what are these people talking about? And you know, it's getting out, the word's getting out, man. People, Hollywood, liberals are stupid and they're psycho, and nobody's going to watch their movies, nobody's supporting.

SPEAKER_00 10:23

Because they don't want to support dumbass pieces of shit, garbage human beings. And let's see, what else are the dumbass liberals doing?

SPEAKER_01 10:38

They are government not passing the government, whatever, doing a government shutdown to because of the the Act, face act, or whatever the hell it's called, and I can't remember. To require voter ID. Are there other things on there that besides voter ID? Yeah, probably, because they always do that shit. But but that's their argument. The left is, you know, ID is voter ID is so infar.

Shutdown Talk And Voter ID

SPEAKER_01 11:10

But so then TSA, nobody's getting paid, only you know, less than half are still working, but then Elon Musk is like, hey, I'm gonna help get them paid. He can't just give them money. Their government, you know, there's he's gonna have to maybe do it through a program govern- I don't know how they'll do it, I don't know, but he's gonna fit the bill, which is cool. But then dumbass thermos will still be like, you know, and then and then so then Trump's like, I'm gonna have ice be at the airport, then, you know, to help out. I think that is like the greatest thing. So now all these people whining and crying about ice again at the airport. I saw this meme, I don't know if it was a meme or somebody just said it or something. They're like, people at at the airports are surprised that ice are actually nice and friendly when you're not trying to run them over with your car. Yeah. It's just all the arguments and all the talking points from the left is so fucking stupid. They're so dumb. I just it's it's ridiculous. Let's see, what else? Oh, yeah. So then like SNL, right? I don't watch SNL. I haven't watched it in 20 years or so. But then any kind of maybe clips I watch on YouTube are from you know 10 years ago at the latest or something with what's his face? Like the last, I don't know, Bill Hader. I don't know, was it like 2010s or something I want to say? I didn't watch SNL, but I'll watch like some clips from that. It looks

Musk Paying TSA And ICE Airports

SPEAKER_01 12:58

like it was pretty funny then. But so they did a skit, I guess, where they're bitching about the gas prices. And again, this is another reason why normal people are catching on, because as high the as high as the gas prices are due to the shit going on, they're still nowhere near when Biden was in office. If you look at the the oil drum price line, graph line thing, it's it's nowhere near it. Gas was super low before Biden, and then after Biden it shot up, and it was just stayed up, went down a little bit, and then it kind of spent in the same area, and then it even went down with Trump, and then it's it's went up again. So, yeah, so during it's up in Trump's you know, administration, like this is the highest since he's been in office for the last two years. Has it been two years already? I guess so, huh? But it's still nowhere near the height of Biden. So where was where was all the outrage from them when Biden was in office? It's just this hypocrisy right here is why the Democrats are losing left and right in every kind of midterm, every they're losing ground everywhere.

SPEAKER_00 14:27

And it's because of shit like this. I don't know. Like I should be happy because the Democrats are just they're they're about to be extinct.

SPEAKER_01 14:41

You know what I mean? But it's not like they're gonna be gone or there's still the AOCs and all the dipshits out there. So you think I'd be a little more happy about how things are going as far as that goes, and I am, but at the same time, it's just like why can't why can't we just why can't we all just get along? Why can't we just like Okay, this is good, this is bad, like I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 15:09

Just some of the some of the just the arguments they have is just so ridiculous. And again, it's a good thing.

SPEAKER_01 15:20

In the end, but it it still just like bottles my mind full of emotion. My emotions are all bottled up, no. And then uh speaking of like liberals and retards in Hollywood, that there was that Star Trek show about the Academy, and then it was like 90210 Star Trek or some shit. Again, didn't watch it, but it looked the clips I seen and everything, it just it looked so bad. I mean, it wasn't just not for me, but like I've seen there was a s a series on Netflix.

SNL Gas Jokes And Hypocrisy

SPEAKER_01 16:05

I can't remember what it was called, but it was pretty popular, I think. It's about 10 years ago now, I want to say. But it's about a girl who recorded some tapes, she was like raped and murdered or something. And my nephew was like, Oh, Uncle Blake, you gotta watch it, you gotta watch it. So I did, and it was it was intriguing, and and I watched it and I watched the whole thing. It wasn't really for me, you know. I kind of felt a little odd watching it, but it was an interesting concept and everything like that, and you know, I watched it. This Star Trek thing just not only is it not for me, but it just looks so horribly bad.

SPEAKER_00 16:47

Just re stupid. Like, man. Hasn't even nobody watches it, and then people bitch like me.

SPEAKER_01 17:05

But no one's watching it. Nobody cares. It gets canceled. That's what happens when shows don't get watched. How many, how many great shows were cancelled because nobody watched them, but they were actually good. The Firefly which actually they're doing a reboot of that, I guess, but I don't know how many shows I got into and then oh, that's it, one season that was it. But it's just because like people think because oh it's it's representing gay people and all this stuff and whatever, it should still be made even though nobody watches it. It's like that's not how it works.

SPEAKER_00 17:49

Like, how stupid are you? Really? I'm waiting. How dumb can you be? Like, I just don't it's just insane to me that I don't know, I don't get it. I just uh and that's again I mean I would rather I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 18:17

I need to look and see, like what are some you know, okay, like the Bones show. I've been talking about it because I've been watching it, right? And there's always these stupid little jabs at conservatism, more not more like against Christianity, religion, faith, you know, Catholicism. And then they'll throw in some other liberal stuff, and it's like,

Woke Reboots And Why Shows Fail

SPEAKER_01 18:41

you know, ten years ago when I watched some of these with my wife, I would never have caught it. I don't I wouldn't have like, you know, noticed it. Now I do notice those things, but the show is still written well enough. There's still some good stories and character arcs and some moving family dynamics and all the stuff that keeps me engaged. Yes, there's some some stupid kind of liberal viewed crap, but it's like I can I can, you know. It's just it's mainly like one character, the the the art chick, like the hippie girl. She's annoying as all hell. She's good looking, but she's annoying.

SPEAKER_00 19:26

And then the main girl, what's her name? Dr. Brennan Bones, like, there's a lot of things that she's very you know, she's like a realist.

SPEAKER_01 19:39

Like her she makes a lot of sense, right? But then some of her arguments, though, are just very wrong, especially when it comes to faith and religion and stuff like that. It's all like the the the trademark left-wing arguments about stuff about the crusades or whatever, I don't know. So it's, you know, but the show was still good. But the shows today now are they have what used to be kind of annoying. That's all the show's about, and there's nothing good about it, you know? And then they they cry because nobody watches it. Why doesn't nobody want to watch my show? Because you're a horrible writer.

SPEAKER_00 20:23

Your your stories, you know.

SPEAKER_01 20:29

They should have just created their own sci-fi world and not put Star Trek on there. They probably actually would have had more viewers.

SPEAKER_00 20:41

You know what I mean? Not much more, but but that's the trope, you know? They take these beloved IP IP? Is that how you say it? Original That's oh. Anyway, whatever.

SPEAKER_01 20:59

But you know, they take all the stuff that like Gen X individuals grew up loving, and then they just slap a bunch of powerful women or you know, gayness on it, and then expect everybody to oh, they'll still watch it, they'll still like it. It's like no. You know, and then like they have for the Oscars, for you to for a movie to be nominated, you have to have like you know, more women than men or the main, you know what I mean? Like kind of stupid all these kind of different like what do they call it?

SPEAKER_00 21:37

Box checking. Gosh, man. But it and then nobody watches the Oscars.

SPEAKER_01 21:46

Nobody cares about the movies that are at the Oscars, you know, and it's just it's just everything is not genuine, you know. The most downloaded songs on Spotify, nobody actually listens to. The most, you know what I mean? Like they're they're the the entertainment industry is trying to create what's popular. Make you think, oh, this is popular, so you should.

SPEAKER_00 22:15

But people, you know, people have gut instincts, you know. They're they're catching on. You can't uh piss on me and tell me it's raining, or you can for only so long, you know. So and it's Hollywood is dying, man.

SPEAKER_01 22:37

Their jobs nobody can nobody has work there, everybody's going somewhere else. It's just it could it totally failed. And it's not just the the woke BS that infected TV and movies, but it's also just the

Hollywood Decline And California Anger

SPEAKER_01 22:56

people in charge of everything running everything, and then you have the government officials and how liberals they can't actually run anything, they just tax you and make you think, like, oh, look at what we're doing, but all they're doing is getting rich and making you think, look, we spent all this money to help the homeless, but the homeless are still there. Oh, well, it you know, hey, let's put some money on a rail system. Okay, well, how's that going? Oh, yeah, hey, the homeless, you know, I mean it's like they're it's they're one one step above socialism, you know what I mean. That's what they are. They're like socialists, but living in a capitalist and benefiting from a capitalist country, but talking about how socialism is so great, but they can't even run a state.

SPEAKER_00 23:44

California's turning into a fucking shithole. And it's you know, they deserve it, you know. Someday, right?

SPEAKER_01 23:55

Someday. Who was the last Republican? I think was it Arnold? Arnold. He was actually a Republican, I think, when he ran for governor. Governor of California! Is that how he used to say it? California. Anyway, but yeah. So that's it. More of the same shit. I've been trying to stay busy. Tear down a wall in the front of my house.

SPEAKER_00 24:20

Usually I talk about what I'm doing at the beginning, huh? Yeah, not much else. Just kinda doing my thing. Lens almost over. Yeah, that's it. Let me know what you think. Do you agree? Do you disagree?

SPEAKER_01 24:38

Do I care? Eh, not really. But you know. Still, it's

House Projects And Closing Thoughts

SPEAKER_01 24:43

it's it's it's fun to have, you know, atheists make comments on my videos. Anyway, this one in particular. It's funny. Anyway, yeah, thanks for hanging out, appreciate your time, and God bless. Alright. Bye.
