904 - Flight Risk (1/30/25)

We continue reviewing the stream of chaos coming from the White House - federal spending freeze/unfreeze, deportation of protestors, responses to the “DEI” aviation disaster - and try to discern if this now-familiar Trump pattern of overreach & retreat will be any different this time around. Then we look at two new films, Mel Gibson’s “Flight Risk” & Christian Gudegast’s “Den of Thieves 2: Pantera” to escape from the misery, and check in on the state of dumb-guy entertainment.

you guys are washed

congund

Another awesome movie review but crazy they didn’t include any shoutouts to the ‘Gomorrah’ (the Italian tv series not the actual criminal organization). Not only is the look and feel they fawn over a hundred percent influenced by it, they even casted Genny Savastano himself, the king Salvatore Esposito (and Ice Cube Jr’ brother from another mother) as one of the Serbian ecstasy goons! I also felt like the bad bitch love interest’s character owed allot to the Patrizia character in said brilliant series. It’s kinda all right there.

Eric K

DoT2 truly was a banger, folks

Elliot Matheny

Yeah, he's made one good movie only. It just so happens that Apocalypto rocks cock. He pulled a Tim Burton. He's a guy who even his "good movies" I hate, but somehow accidentally made one good movie but it's a masterpiece (in Burton's case, Ed Wood)

Eamon Short

And you are telling me that the us government arrested students for protesting a war???? This has never happened before and is the worst thing ever. I am appalled. 😱

Patrick Carroll

I do love me any "Fuck you it's January!" Content

@KH Can you stop with the fucking slurs yet? Do you think it’s also cool to use racial slurs? There isn’t a fucking difference. Fuck off.

Always a good day when an Amber episode drops

wat

Look up 'Dracula Flow' on YouTube...

Shauna Seroquel

What are they referencing in the clip with the guy saying “I have no morals…”

Sean Carton

But that’s central to Amber’s point. Everyone always looks at what she says in such a fatalis view. It’s pretty clear she acknowledges that people are getting fucked but she’s arguing specifically about the social and class cohesion of those kinds of institutions protecting the people at the top in response to Felix’s point about how Ivy League schools are most at risk. It certainly sucks, that kind of EO and league structure is far more aimed at USC and SUNY schools than Harvard and Yale which themselves carry the immense benefit of their class and social peers

Matty C

Lots of students at schools of all kinds faced repression tho. Off the top of my head UPenn and Emory and NYU cracked down pretty hard with the only real difference between the other schools you mentioned being pure numbers. Because they’re bigger schools! Professors at Emory specifically stuck their necks out for their students and got arrested anyway including a 63 year old woman charged with battery. Lots of arrests and really arbitrary crazy behaviors from admins. Like the schools are really dedicated to this mission of repressing anti Zionism. Obviously that repression took different forms and if you’re more well off ur less likely to be affected as dramatically but it still affects them. And I definitely agree that the private schools get more attention. Like cal poly Humboldt wasn’t talked about at all and they had a week long occupation of several buildings where they fought back and repelled the cops. But people are getting screwed regardless

Lauren Heinze

Columbia was the only school of the ones listed that actually so regressive policing from my knowledge, mainly because their significantly more direct ties to the IDF. And that crackdown and Columbia was the only affluent institution that was anywhere close to what UMass, UCLA, SUNY, or Texas public schools saw. Harvard professors and faculty specifically stuck their necks out for their students in ways UMass and such weren’t able to because they were suspending faculty at the speed of light. It was certainly not a good thing but I don’t think Amber’s making the point that those kids are totally fine, she’s making the point that class consciousness still has sway for the Bourgeois institutions while the working class institutions get absolutely roped with way less attention.

Matty C

Wait isn’t that suppose to be a good thing lmfao??

Ardy Rezv

lol ur gay, dude

protob1

It’s pretty transparently repressive?? Obviously these responses are expected but like it is evil to violently arrest 20 year olds peacefully demonstrating. I was arrested protesting at a state school and people I know had their lives upended. State repression of left-wing movements is bad!! Regardless of who it’s happening to

Lauren Heinze

Amber is giving Frank Reynolds

treat

I don't think most of those kids were imagining themselves as the vanguard of the American communist revolution or anything man, I think they just noticed that the school they go to was involved in something they found to be morally unacceptable and decided to go protest it

thicchatlogan

There's a Vanity Fair article out at the minute about them then mentions it and also about turning the Poppy series into a tv show? And the article finally explains what happened with Virgil haha

Eamonn Curley

Just got my copies of No Pasaran! Amazing, until I realized I can't read. Great etchings, though! Thanks all, love ya!

TentInQuarantine0

Imagine believing yourself to be a revolutionary and harkening back to the protests against Vietnam then being like: “They called the cops on us rich kids!!! That’s super evil and scary!!!!”

Patrick Carroll

“He needs a 911. He needs a Covid” feels eerily prescient

Tony Howard

In the 1950s, scientists discovered that you could take a bunch of your friends and coworkers on an expensive vacation, effectively for free, as long as you made a feature length motion picture at the same time. The name of this invention: CinemaScope.

Rohmer Simpson

They called the cops at columbia! And Yale and UPenn and NYU and Emory and MIT and the fucking New School. All rich kid schools lol

Lauren Heinze

What Amber said about it being difficult to go after pro-Palestine students and deport them is so crazy. The universities would gladly collaborate!!! They and their donors hate anti Zionist activism on campus! Especially if given the barest legal fig leaf where they can say “well my hands are tied.” This applies particularly to state schools in red states where the university admin’s job is to suck up to the governor and donors. Some schools may not be willing to cooperate with ICE but if they suspend an international student their visa automatically expires and they have to go home. Which is getting deported!! The schools have so many records on this stuff too

Lauren Heinze

This comment delivers.

Khemith

Felix and Will love gay shit so much. I’m surprised they are so hard on nu metal. Welcome my son. Welcome to the machine.

Ardy Rezv

Yeah you'd think for a socialist podcast there'd be something to be said for the richest person in the world essentially taking over the governments coffers.

Joseph Mabrey

I can't with Amber. But I can with the Chinese Communist Party. Unironically considering learning Mandarin and moving there once my pension hits (UPS still has one baby!)

Joseph Mabrey

As if system of a down didn't exist

Joseph Mabrey

agent .47 BAC is an all-timer

Zelude Rose

Harvard didn’t do any of that though, UMass schools did, which is a testament to their point. Harvard had super active negotiations and the students only got fucked weeks after the encampment ended by the corporation that controls the endowment and Fellows. The university itself and every administrator there tried to protect their students but no one else. Which goes back to their point: the people at risk are not the elites, it’s the middle and lower class international students going to state schools and the un prestigious non-profit schools.

Matty C

I think they’re talking about the baseball movie? It’s called Eephus and it’s about a beer league that’s losing its field or something along that.

Matty C

they didnt even name the fucking movie lol

Elchapokabra

Chapo is so fuckin back

Rick Slot

Ardy I loved your comment so much I made it my username. What a fantastically niche issue. Shine on you crazy diamond

Chapo has always branded nu metal as right wing

His most evil, and also one of the most thrilling chase movies ever made. He's a demon, but he's cooking with something.

drizzly_november

Is there an episode where they discuss the first movie?

Louie Luke

Trans people being scared, not funny at all!! 75 people dying in a plane crash 😂 😆. If only those kids knew their deaths would be used to dunk on Donny. I’m sure they’re smiling down!

Wagner Koop

An awfully woke take for the era of DEI purges. The gaspacho forces oughta arrest and deport you for thought crime here (here: consideration) if you air that too much publically. It shows public sympathy and even Biden proved too that caring or being considerate is an un-American activity of concern ya know? (kidding but this era is the one of slow, dumb, soup-brained logic and constant public displays of loathing so ngl I get it.)

Edward

Made typos and etc but it was getting rambly idk, I'm tired but TLDR is yeah fr MDMA HCL "rock" oughta be as smokable as Cocaine is when in "crack" or HCL salt form or how crystal meth (in a form ready as crystals so not HCL usually) is usable by inhalation, snorting, or in a pill/cap just in different levels of potency and length (all cocaine makes for a cocaine effect just different lengths and duration usually, same for meth and likely MDMA. For meth, I know capsule form is felt slowest and takes longest to kick in and wear off but also is the least efficient use of the chemical and least absorbed way commonly used vs. how much and how fast it works in inhalation or in the nasal mucus membrane absorbtion, snorted methods.)

Edward

I am surprised that it even is news to people using MDMA that MDMA in crystal/"rock" form (to smoke, like Meth, bc the MA in MDMA is uh meth lol) totally can be smoked.... MDMA is an abbreviation for the chemical itself lol you can find in full unabbbreivated form on Wikipedia. And any chemical where the base can be freed to be bio-available via heat (Like crack, the HCL salt form of Cocaine now free-basable for inhalation bioavailble use unlike powdered cocaine...) Joint/blunt smoking of weed and mdma HCL crumbs mixed I assume would be possible if meth can be mixed with weed and smoked in a chillum or bong. I have worked only with poorer addicts and people in recovery--- methylated amphetamine molecules are the MA of MDMA. Only know about that bc of chemistry courses and medical coursework and fieldwork w/ drug users who may have relayed first hand experiences during medical attention or while in medical stays, lmk if I'm off here bc MDMA's wikipedia page is my source here for checking my abstractions on it rn.... No first hand mdma experience myself however so I reserve my take here to just conjecture so fr correct me if I got it twisted badly. MDMA is surrounded by odd takes that could be debunked on Wikipedia's page on it even but just isnt lol.

Also how do I differentiate myself? I try not to, but I've always been off the walls politically. I used to do debate and I try to use dialectics. I personally like to be able to argue an opposing view to me as well as I can my own. I'm not going to come in here and just belittle people for whatever they believe because, I've believed a bunch of crazy shit at different points in my life. If we don't see eye to eye we've had a completely different journeys, a completely different upbringing, or you're just at a different point in life and you may never get to my point and I may never get to yours. There's not a right and wrong. There's different fundamental understandings of reality. Trying to break them down and understand them is important. To me anyway. The first time I dropped acid it was the most profound thing I've ever experienced in my life. In that trip it felt like my view of the world was projected through one of those old school projectors where you set laminate sheets on top. In that 12-hour trip I peeled back the layers shuffled them and was able to have a completely different view. From that I have an understanding that all it takes is one experience to completely change that projection of reality. I'm sure you have some that I don't and I'm sure if I had that experience myself I would have a completely different view anyway because it's still being filtered through every experience that I've ever had. Does this make sense?

SkeepyBeeper

Anchorage mentioned!

Hans Thompson

See that's something that I agree with I believe in horizontal power structures. I'm an anarchist. I'm into 3D printing and gun manufacturing. The revolution has to be horizontal before it can ever be bottom up. Or else you're just fucked. Without the ability to organize and survive chaos and power vacuums ensue. Guns are horizontal we've literally seen a city resist an entire advanced country for an entire year, even after every single fucking building has been rubleized. America is the world eater they destroy, so many countries have been slaughtered, and dominated, and it will come to us. Keeping a gun in the cabinet and some ammo will ensure either you or someone who finds it has a chance to do good with it. The problem isn't the gun, it's the sick society poisoned by the system. It lacks any and all opportunity to do any thing but toil over necessities, and maybe one day have cool shit that's designed to break. It denies us our base needs and makes us scrounge. I personally believe Maslow's hierarchy of needs has some credence to it, and I think making people toil over the bottom two sections of the pyramid leads to widespread mental health issues, actual health issues, and just general unrest. We need to focus on these issues and if we have politicians who don't focus on these issues (which we don't and we never have which is why I think the system is irredeemable), we need to have the ability to organize and do it ourselves. If you look at the robber barons a good read would be edge of anarchy by Jack Kelly, and what we did after world war I where we handed out coupons, anytime we've ever tried to really use our first amendment we get the fucking military called on us. That being said getting a gun from a store and being the most armed civilization makes it to where you can't just easily do something to us... and if we wanted to organize we would have enough power. I think the ability to manufacture guns is kind of a farce just being armed and having ammunition is good enough for a good amount of it. I like how Herbert Macuse laid it out in one dimensional man, that we are enslaved through our comforts. Right now we are in a frog in the pot situation and the water's hot but the air outside of that water is even hotter. We are scared to jump out and try to touch the thermostat and turn off the stove, and the longer we wait the more we are trapped by the atrophy that the evolving system has and is causing. When we do finally need them it's going to be a motherfucker. It's going to be way worse than you can imagine, but it's going to be even worse without the ability to use armed resistance against an armed military. Improvised explosives in weaponry though do come in handy, but for most people there's a large learning and skill curve for some of it considering a lot of Americans can barely count. I literally didn't say I was smarter than anybody and if I have but I don't think I did, I'm sorry. The whole implication of what I'm saying is that knowledge is refined as well as understanding. However a lot of people bitch about certain groups of people while perpetuating their existence and ignorance. I.E. screaming SJWs emboldening Right wing idiots. It's literally a whole fucking genre on YouTube... or was. I hope this provides some more context, even though I believe I've already provided enough context.

SkeepyBeeper

Nathan E Simpson

Matttttttt

How do you view yourself as different from the people who come in here complaining we are unfair to Obama or that Russia hacked the election? I'm glad you're thinking, but that you want to call anyone a half brain when your world upends in what most here saw as obvious disaster is comical. You're like "woa fire hot!? Ok think I got this figured out now bozos." The gun thing is a great example. Prevalence of guns results in massively higher gun violence, especially in poor communities, and a huge number of mass shootings and murders relative to other countries. While revolutionary activity may require guns, the fact revolution is illegal means there is nothing to be gained from having widely distributed legal guns when we see the results borne out so clearly. Grenades might also be necessary in revolution but we aren't benefitted by everyone having easy access to grenades all the time just in case. The laissez faire grenade market makes as much sense as the gun market. Gun legalization is explicitly because buying shit is not revolutionary, and if that became an actual threat they would be made illegal for the people that caused a problem(see felony convictions). A reasonable leftist understanding of armed citizenry is actually organized militias capable of manufacturing and CONTROLLING their own weaponry up to and including high explosives, irrespective of what the law says. If your view is that you go to Walmart to purchase revolution as an individual on sale then you're an idiot. Houthis are not buying their resistance from Smith & Wesson. It gets annoying to explain shit like that and healthcare to people for 10+ years. People have some moronic take and then want to be respected here, and it's just not happening. I was nicer to you than the people that suck Obama's dick, but fundamentally you're no different if you can't figure out what is bullshit and what isn't because you want to hold to shit you thought was true as a kid.

You talk about organized crime making a comeback in America and that will likely happen if 25% tarrifs on Mexico and Canada happens. Why think these businesses would pay a tariff if they already aren't paying their undocumented employees a legal wage? That's why this is all so pointless, this nationalism-with-global-capitalism bullshit - you can't have both, at the end of the day it has an inability to target the criminal ruling class to actually make a change in the status quo, because they're all part of it. They'll smuggle that shit in or forge tariff payment documents before they pay, and they'll have massive public support for doing so if it keeps the prices low.

Taylord

mariol struga

Amber's call out on small planes didn't take long to get proven correct

Ugh

If they ever thought about "what they stand for" in a realistic way, it would be what Trump is doing, but nicer somehow. They absolutely hate democracy as much as the Republicans which is why they are so pissed off at this result that, of course, can happen when you allow people to vote. They have no interest in making their case anymore to win votes. They just hope what's coming punishes people who strayed enough that history will see them as the good guys. But their reaction to Trump shows they clearly are not.

Taylord

Guns bad so we need laws to restrict them. I'm just saying he claims constantly that he's no political genius, he doesn't really follow things too seriously particularly in cumtown because he saw the space as counterproductive, hypocritical, and corrosive. So most of the time when they're actually just talking about politics it is just half brain stuff that he's heard and seen and passing. Maybe half baked or carelessly thought of or detach from sentiment I don't know how you want me to word it I'm not saying that he's stupid by any means. You're the one saying that I'm stupid for thinking and evolving. In high school and college I was left and wanted berny, until his candidacy got fucked over by the DNC. I've spent my whole life flip-flopping on different parties because different parties represented what I thought at the time throughout my life. The only time I was for Trump was when I heard his speech and he was talking about being anti-war. I have family that's in the military and they are fucked up due to it, and I'm sure that you can use your context clues and understand that we haven't had a justified war since world war II and the only reason that shit popped off is because of world war I which was also unjustified and a fucking mistake. People are dynamic and unique not everybody's a fucking cookie cutter robot like you who their whole life thinks one way. You are the same as the retards who shaved their heads put a black block as their profile. Youre divisive and detrimental to any sort of progressive and leftist ideology, because you open your fucking mouth before you can think which I doubt you do that either.

SkeepyBeeper

Hell yeah dude highly appreciated!

SkeepyBeeper

The beginning of the end of the George W. Bush administration was following the 2004 election when Bush bragged that he had some "political capital and intended to spend it". Rove talked about how he was moving forward with a plan to institute a permanent majority. They then proceeded to push to privatize Social Security, which generated the first major domestic political backlash. Iraq continued to go bad. Then there was the administration's response to Katrina and the Republicans were absolutely cooked in the 2006 mid-terms. I'm sure the Trump team is going to be even more pathetic and self-destructive. However, it is also hard to overstate how incredibly hapless the Dems are right now as an opposition party. On the one hand, the party has built itself around vote-a-holics who show up in every election. On the other hand, the party has no idea what it stands for, and will struggle to win support from anyone who is not already a habituated voter.

I know there was a huge push towards organic and a lot of people were going crazy at the same time over the vax and Bill Gates new apeel produce coating. You can try but most likely you're too poor for organic or you're rich enough to still buy shit that's wrapped in plastic. I don't really eat bread or use seed oils, that's pretty much my diet. I prep all of my own ingredients and get them cooking ready, and vacuum seal my meats. Leading to easier cooking and I just make more than I need constantly to alternate left overs so I'm not doing any highly processed foods.

Laughing my ass off at Felix making fun of dusting off retired slurs. Buddy of mine got swarmed by libs and cons alike for joking about chinese censorship because who gives a fuck, but the interesting part was that the lib ones all went out of thier way to use thier precious rediscovered light slurs. It was like they were teenagers again, they love it soooooo much it's bonkers. Like it was HURTING them to not do it for however long its been

You literally admitted to living most of your life as a retard yet somehow think everyone else is a half brain. You just grew half a brain to partially understand what's going on. You're still actually just a dumbass. Glad to have you bozo take a seat at the back.

To escape from the misery, and check in on the state of dumb-guy entertainment.

that's pretty good. Especially considering covid/trump broke so many people's brains. Everyone became an armchair PhD nutritionist suddenly

Thom

I'm also thankful for cumtown nicks comedy allowed me to get exposure to opposing views, even if every single one of them are for the most part are half brain shit takes.

SkeepyBeeper

As a former Republican and Trump supporter I still feel like there were conspiracies to make him look bad when it really wasn't that hard. The reason it had to be conspiratorial and at that depth is because if they just called him out for all the shit that he was doing they would be pointing five fingers back at themselves. I'm thankful for Trump and covid, both broke my reality and completely demolished my trust in media, in the police, in our economic system, in our health system, all of it right down the fucking drain. Now I listen to podcasts like this one that I don't even agree with, due to the fact that for the most part they talk about the system as if it is salvageable, and that in turn reinforces it.

SkeepyBeeper

amber is definitley going to force a lot of bad movie reviews to fill time so she doesn't have to admit the trump admin is really scary and her halfhearted attempts at being a contrarian chudwhisperer havent gotten anywhere.

For the record: you CAN smoke MDMA. [Redacted] did it with a meth pipe. I don't know how well it would work in a joint/blunt, I assume you'd need to use more of it but it seems plausible.

American fascism is similar to the Italian fascist model in that the bureaucracy is poorly managed and only the image is maintained. The book Zionism During the Holocaust really lays out how lasse faire Italian affairs actually were on the ground.

I primarily get my news and feelings preloaded into my mind from podcasts and YouTube shorts, but the Vanity Fair article they were talking about (Liz B linked it above) was pretty good and worth a read. Makes me realize how busy these pie in the sky, do nothing, champagne socialist podcasters really are, like seeing a bit how how the sausage is made. It was heartfelt, not necessarily the type of 'durrrr dirt bag left meanies' type of article. I'm a recovering articlehead, hence the YouTube shorts to keep me grounded, but this one was pretty good.

C. Andrew

Not really. 9/11 was a singular sudden event that galvanized support for Bush and the neo-con agenda. COVID was a long, drawn-out period of time which instead frayed trust in the government and power

There is something that connects all of Mel Gibson's movies, per that Joe Rogan appearance. He thinks people yelling at you in a language you don't understand is the scariest thing in the world.

Kenny Hedges

One thing that Y'all REALLY need to start drawing attention to as soon as fucking possible, in the hopes it saves even a few lives, is the immediate and brutal crackdown on trans people, and especially trans women. Multiple people I know have applied for passports since the election, and in the last week or two their documents have basically been siezed, instead of being returned along with the passport, and between the cost and stigma getting those documents back is basically impossible atm. That plus the number of trans-specific Executive Orders has basically everyone I know planning to flee, if they can afford to. and since trans people are usually unemployed and on the edge of homelessness, most of us can't. So I it would be REALLY helpful and possibly save a few lives if y'all drew some attention to that, maybe had on an activist or two to discuss the potential threat and the practice of V-Coding (especially in the wake of Trump's attempted fuckery with the PREA act) and maybe link to a few gofundmes. Like do something, or fucking hell even Mention us. Before its too late

What did Amber elude to about a movie in the works? I don’t have a vanity fair sub

james

Also. This is yet another demonstration of the total incompetence of the US military. They crashed a plane from not being able to do a basic instrument approach, and now a helicopter(the only aerial vehicle that can actually STOP) ran into a jet airliner, the most well lit objects in the sky. I'm starting to think those 2 F15s crashed into each other and they claimed that was friendly fire.

What film did Amber mention being involved in that won an award? Front half of ep

If there isn't significant property damage relative to death toll it's not a 9/11, sorry.

Love the end of this episode when they talk about MDMA. Take it over shrooms or lsd. And I agree with amber it’s best to do it just chilling at a house listening to music you like

Jake Scalia

400,000 COVID deaths not a 9/11? Ok 🤷🏾‍♂️

TatsuMaki

lets not forget boug-class *discipline*. What's happening at elite schools is not a conflict bw students and the state. It's a conflict bw students and the school corporation. The schools is not gonna express solidarity, it's gonna use Trump's shit as fuel for their own harrassment tactics. Concretely, the corp is gonna punish students by exposing them to the state. Much like schools did during the encampments, when they exposed the "antisemitic" students to zionist thugs and cops

And that a plot of Den of Thieves III needs to have Ice Cube playing the dad of Oshea’s character who gets along great with Big Nick as they spend the movie giving his son shit the whole heist

Zach H.

A civilian fleet and a military fleet operating out of the same airport? Khamerica is using civilians as human shields!

Missed opportunity when Amber was talking about small planes killing celebrities. Will could have done his Big Bopper impression 😥

Actually, I don't think it's big deal it mentions him. He is part of their history, there's no erasing that. But I think the distance between Chapo and Virgil now has a big enough time gap that there's no real "sting" to be left. It's all just historical reference. He's also still in hiding apparently so no harm done. I thought Amber's short quotes on him were perfect.

I want to point out that the Executive Order on grants and loans didn’t just affect social programs. It was also, like, any program that was devolved to states and funded by federal bloc grants. Things like food inspection and shit. I feel like this is important to point out because I do think Trump just assumed “grants/loans” meant “charity,” and not, like, a normal funding stream for a large swath of government functions

Yes, sometimes some rainforrest needs to be removed to make room for environmentally friendly transport, that's just how things are everywhere. In Europe usually new nature preserves are created elsewhere as compensation.

How do we get past the Vanity Fair article paywall?

Meg

To me, the takeaway is that we should not allow the military to have this kind of access to our airspace. Helicopters are unreliable and drop like bricks at the first problem. No idea why these are allowed to fly over settled areas. And the fact that there is a civilian fleet and a military fleet operating out of the same airport is crazy to me. No idea how it is organized but it surprises me that this doesn't happen more often with two distinct fleets to coordinate. Fuck these fly boys!
