This story interested me. I thought this was interesting. A Utah high school
football teammate
turned down a summer job that was actually a covert coup attempt. I believe in
like the Congo,
in the African Congo. The friend of a prominent Congolese opposition leader.
And let me just say
before we go into this story, I know that a lot of people, you know, with the
AI images of like
all eyes on Rafa and pray for Sudan, which I have criticized because they're
silly and they look like
it's a new show on NBC. Tuesdays at eight, all about Rafa. Like it feels, even
CNN quoted me,
because it does feel silly. Not to say I shouldn't be upset about those things.
We're losing focus with the Sudan and the Congo stuff, I feel. I really do. I
can get upset about
this Palestine. You start throwing in Sudan and the Congo. It doesn't work. I
start going,
oh yeah, everything's f*****. And then I just turn it all off. I, you gotta
focus. I can't handle
everything. You can't be like Sudan, Congo, like they are now listing
everything going on, uh, on the
planet. I can't be enraged about that. Stick with something. The friend of a
prominent Congolese
opposition leader's son said he turned down a six figure offer to travel there
from the U.S. as part
of a family security detail in what turned out to be a failed coup. Marcel Malanga,
the 21 year old son
of an eccentric coup leader, Christian Malanga, was detained by Congolese
forces Sunday morning,
along with a former classmate from their hometown of West Jordan, Utah, after
his father was killed in a
shootout while resisting arrest. His high school football teammate, Tyler
Thompson, 21, was one of
the two other Americans arrested after an ill-fated attack on the presidential
palace in Kinshasa.
Six people were dead and dozens arrested, including three Americans following
the attack
and another on the residence of a close ally of President Felix
Shiketi,
the Congolese army spokesperson,
Brigadier General Sylvain
Akenj said.
Daniel Gonzalez, a former teammate of the two Utah residents, caught up in the
foiled coup, told the Associated Press
that Marcel had offered him $50,000 to $100,000
to spend four months in the Congo
as a security guard for his politician father.
The 22 year old FedEx worker
said he strongly considered it,
but said it lacked concrete details.
He ultimately declined
so he could spend the summer with his girlfriend.
I feel really sad for Tyler and Marcel,
but at the end of the day,
I just can't be grateful.
I just can be grateful that I didn't go
because I'd be stuck in the same scary
situation.
That is great, by the way,
to have your son
have a summer job
and that summer job is overthrowing
a government in Africa.
A friend of mine's father,
who I've talked about on the show before,
Bud Munster,
said that
if you're just a white guy with some money,
you can kind of go,
and I don't know if that's the case with this guy,
I don't know if he's white or not,
but you can go to these places
like Africa or South America
and you could really
f*** around a little bit
and have fun,
like try to overthrow a government.
This is kind of cool
for a summer trip
that you went there.
Now it didn't work.
Certain things don't work,
but the idea that this guy's trying
to overthrow an African government
with his kid,
and he said to his kids' friends,
why don't you get a couple
of your loser friends
and you could come over
and try to overthrow this government too.
It is crazy to think about
that that's his summer.
I don't know what,
I don't know what exactly
you learn from this.
That's maybe the issue is
you don't really learn.
You learn about trusting people.
Like if you go over there,
first of all,
I never,
I never wanted to work
as a person.
That's why I do this.
I always,
poor people are always
the ones that worked.
You always see the poor working.
They're always fiddling
and fidgeting.
They're late all the time.
I was one of them for years.
They work so hard
and no one cares.
And so I never wanted to work.
It never interested me.
That's why I do this.
And rich people
are kind of never really working.
They're always doing something.
They're always like,
kind of like taking a phone call,
going to a lunch,
but so I would have turned this down immediately.
They're like,
you're going to be a security guard.
I mean,
I wouldn't do that anywhere.
And certainly not in the Congo.
Like if my best friend was like,
you know,
my dad loves you.
He wants you to be a security guard
in the Congo.
I'd be like,
it's the summer.
It's the summer.
Like we're not going to,
I'm not going over to the African Congo
with your dad.
Your dad's a nut.
But apparently some of these kids did
and now they're f***ed.
Are they still in jail?
Yeah,
at least one of them is.
Or so the son
and then this other kid,
this other Tyler Higby,
his like parents talked to the news
the other day.
Let's see what's going on with these.
And by the way,
how do you let your kid go?
My son went to the Congo.
It was supposed to be a family trip to Africa,
but it turned deadly over the weekend.
Rebecca Higby says her son,
Tyler Thompson,
was invited to travel through
several countries in Africa
with his longtime friend,
Marcel Malanga.
My son, Tyler,
has been friends with Marcel for years.
They've been playing football together.
And every summer,
Marcel would go see his dad,
just like any divorced couple.
He would go spend summers
with his dad in Africa.
Marcel is the son of Christian Malanga,
the man killed in a shootout
after an alleged attack
on the Congolese presidential palace.
Higby says Malanga was shot
in front of her son and Marcel.
Since then,
they've been trying to get
any information about Thompson.
They've been searching online
and the images they've seen
have them frightened.
We just see images
and every time we see an image,
my son seems more...
You know these two
were so excited
that their kid was going to Africa.
You know they were so excited,
these lesbians,
when he's like,
I'm going to Africa.
They were...
See, they told everyone
in the community,
they told everybody
in the f***ing community.
They were walking up
and down the streets going,
our son's in Africa.
He's in the Congo right now.
Our son's in the Congo.
They brought it up
at every party.
They brought it up
at every f***ing bakery.
They come in,
oh yeah, we need a cake.
And well, our son...
It won't be for our son actually.
He's in the Congo.
He's in the Congo.
And they thought it was great.
But, you know,
if you overthrow a government,
you got to win.
That's part of it.
If you try for a coup,
you got to win.
Like when the CIA
killed President Kennedy
and installed Johnson,
they succeeded.
had they not succeeded,
it wouldn't have been good.
But they were...
They succeeded.
They planned
and they executed.
This guy's got a bunch of...
What are they?
College kids?
High school?
College?
Yeah, 21, 22, yeah.
Or college, okay.
He's got a bunch of college kids
trying to take over.
And that makes me think,
can you do that?
Can you take over
like a little small African nation
with a bunch of college kids?
Because that's going to be
the next thing.
Everyone's going to be like,
we all got priced out
of New York and L.A.
We just take over
a small African nation.
I mean, that is really
the way to be rich.
The way to be rich
is to go to Africa.
That is the way to be rich.
It's like the old school
way to be rich.
Really.
And I know that some people
are going to find this
insensitive culturally.
But it is.
To go to Africa
is the...
You know, everyone's like,
you go to the Hamptons
and Palm Beach
and Malibu.
Yeah.
Still laws.
They're still going
to tell you what to do.
They're still going
to tell you what to do.
They're still going
to tell you what to do.
But if you go to Africa
and you set yourself up right,
there is nothing
you cannot do
and nothing you cannot have.
Truly.
If you set yourself up right
in Africa,
you're a warlord.
You're the government.
Like, I don't know.
I don't think I have enough money
to be an African warlord.
But I think if I,
you know,
when you think about it,
because that's what this guy
wanted to do.
This guy was like,
I've been living here,
but I'm not where I want to be.
I'm going to get my son
and a few of his friends
and we're going to overthrow
this goddamn government.
Did they even get close?
Play the rest of this.
Did they get close?
Probably not.
Like,
wrist looks broken,
nose looks broken.
Miranda Thompson
is Tyler's stepmother.
She says Tyler
was scrapbooking
his trips to Africa,
showing off their visit
to Johannesburg
and the restaurants
they visited in Swaziland.
The last communication
he sent to his mother
was that he loved her.
But since Sunday,
By the way,
I bet the guy
who got shot
was so charismatic.
I have been led
to do crazy things
by the charismatic
parents of my friends.
I was in two boating accidents
with Bud Munster,
who I thought was great.
I used to drink
so much
with my friends' parents.
They could get you
to do anything.
Really,
I remember I was driving
home once from a bar
and I sideswiped
this parked car.
I was like,
what the f***?
Bud Munster and Claire.
My friends' parents
were in the back.
They go,
keep going,
keep going.
I was just driving fast.
Cigarette in my mouth.
I finally got to their house.
I ran out of the car
and ran into the back room.
But these are the types
of things
that
if you're
a charismatic parent,
you can really convince me.
I wonder if these kids,
these kids didn't know
what was going on
until they got there.
He's probably,
they're getting drunk.
They're getting
Congo drunk,
which is a different thing.
They're really f***ed up
and he goes,
listen,
I'm going to,
we're going to overthrow
this government.
We're going to be kings.
We're going to be kings.
And I bet
there was a minute
and they're all alive,
right,
these kids?
Yes,
all the kids are alive.
This is a great lesson.
And here's the thing,
they were all probably relieved
when the guy got shot
because he was probably
coming on real strong.
He was probably very intense.
The last few hours
of that guy's life
were very intense
and I've had this experience
where like the fun dad
gets dark
and when the fun dad
gets dark,
it's all over.
And you know that,
like when someone's fun dad
who you've been getting f***ed up
with all weekend
turns around
and starts to say
some really wild s***
like,
oh,
I don't know about that.
Uh,
ugh,
really?
Ugh.
Mr. Johnson,
are you serious
about all that stuff?
You know,
they start to go,
there's a switch that flips
because the fun dad
can get really dark
really quick
and I think this was
the switch that flipped
where he started looking
at his son
and his friends
and going,
we're going to overthrow
this government
and I bet everybody's like,
it started as a joke,
like,
okay,
we're going to,
we're going to go up
to the Congolese palace
and what?
And this guy
was deadly serious
and he got shot
in front of everybody
and they were relieved
when he got shot.
They were like,
thank God
because that was rough
and that,
now they get put in jail
and I don't know
what happens to them.
Utah parents terrified.
We don't know
where he is.
We don't know
what he's doing
and what he's going through.
We're just terrified.
For now,
they can only wait
for any news
from the State Department.
We get to trust
that it's their job,
right,
and that it's what
they do
and their job
is to look after
American citizens
What an interesting take,
by the way.
By the way,
what an interesting take.
It's like,
this is the problem
with institutionalists.
She's like,
well,
we just have to trust
that it's their job
and their job
is to look after
Americans.
Your son tried
to overthrow
the government
of the Congo.
The State Department's
job's kind of
to like ignore that.
What are they going to do?
Your son was involved
in a coup attempt.
They don't give a ****.
Well,
it's their job.
It's the State Department's job.
I'm sure they deal
with this all the time.
I'm sure they deal
with people from Utah
accidentally doing a coup
all the time
and we just have to be,
you know,
we just have to have faith
and trust.
Dude,
the State Department is busy
with all the ****
going on with Israel right now.
Can you imagine
knocking on?
Hi,
are we doing anything
about the Utah teenager
who's stuck in the Congo?
Hey,
hey,
hey,
get the ****
out of my office.
Okay,
how about you get
the ****
out of my office,
okay?
I'm on the ****
up to my head
and **** Rafa!
I got incursions!
I got headless baby
but he's bleeding!
You think I give a ****
out of a retard
from Utah
trying to overthrow
the cover
into the **** Congo?
I hope they kill him
and I hope they use
that **** thing
where they smear honey
all over you
and let fire ants
eat you or bees
or something.
I read about that.
I don't know
if that's what they actually do
or if it's sort of
a racist thing
that I was reading,
the point is
it's a cool punishment
nonetheless
but nobody
at the State Department,
this is not priority one,
Russia,
Ukraine,
China,
Israel,
Palestine
and then these
these
****
****
sorry ladies.

Overthrowing a Government in Africa: The New Summer Job #394
