| 0:19.0 | All I'm gonna be is a joke Hello, everybody, everybody, it's a chop. Hello, everybody. It's Monday, September 15th, and this is your chopo. In just a little bit, I will be |
| 0:40.7 | talking to Pablo Torre, of Pablo Torre finds out about some of his recent bombshell reporting |
| 0:46.1 | as it pertains to American sports, the business of sports, and labor relations within those sports. |
| 0:54.0 | But before we get to that, |
| 0:55.7 | it's me and Felix. And just to continue with obviously like the biggest story of last week |
| 1:01.9 | and now with some time to consider or sort of begin to maybe kind of half make sense of the |
| 1:10.1 | assassination of Charlie Kirk, I think we should begin |
| 1:13.5 | there today. And Felix, and the way I'm thinking about this is like there's essentially sort of two |

| 1:54.5 | it's very clear what they're trying to do with this, which is to create sort of a martyr |
| 1:58.5 | that can be used to wave the bloody shirt and advance their cause |
| 2:02.2 | of, you know, getting rid of freedom of speech and, you know, like criminalizing political |
| 2:07.3 | dissent or political opposition in this country. But the thing that I find funny is that, like, |
| 2:12.2 | once again, Trump as the leader of this sort of pseudo-fascist movement can't really seem to be bothered to |
| 2:18.5 | like stick to the script or, I don't know, events like any idea that he cares about any of this, Felix. |
