1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. Uh these are some of our favorite segments 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: from this week, all edited together into one uh NonStop 4 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: infotainment last stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here 5 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 1: is the Weekly Zeitgeist. Really uh so a lot going 6 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: down at the end of last week in the world 7 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: of our President, our fearless leader, President Donald Trump. Michael 8 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: Cohen has flipped, which I thought we already knew that, 9 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,919 Speaker 1: but he has just been voluntarily just giving it up, 10 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: basically giving up all. I mean, well, here's the thing 11 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,319 Speaker 1: everyone was assuming when he took the plea deal that 12 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: they're like, Okay, maybe this means there will be cooperation, 13 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: but we didn't know. And yeah, I think the assumption 14 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: was obviously he wouldn't get a plea deal unless he 15 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: was cooperating. But yeah, now we find out it's been 16 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: voluntarily and he's been talking to more about all kinds 17 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: of Trump stuff, including financial business dealings with Russia, collusion 18 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: with Russia, to surrogates and like their participation in influencing 19 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: the outcome of the election, and also whether or not 20 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: if Trump offered him or anyone else a pardon and 21 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: then another thing which is juicy too, is that they're 22 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: also asking him about like sort of the inner workings 23 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: of the Trump Foundation and the charity and how they like, 24 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: what kind of shady ship is going on there. And 25 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: he's got a lot of details he got allowed to 26 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 1: know how so that seems to be something that would 27 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: worry the president. Another thing that's interesting, though, two, is 28 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: that you know, like in the Steel Dossier, they talked 29 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: about how Michael Cohen had gone to Prague to talk 30 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: with like Russians about how to like hide money to 31 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: payments to hackers and stuff. Uh, and he always denied it. 32 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: He was like, I was in New York whatever, right, Look, 33 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: here's my here's my passport, shows you the cover of it. 34 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: And then so the thing is, like, I know, mcclatch there. 35 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: Someone was reporting that Mueller did have evidence that Cohen 36 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: was actually in Prague. And if that is true, and 37 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: he's talking to Mueller about that too, and there's any 38 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: even a shred of truth to what the allegations are 39 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: in the Steel Dots here, that would mean that he 40 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: would probably be a party two conversations about how to 41 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: make deniable payments to Russian actors for the hacking, So 42 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, we'll see. We live in a 43 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,399 Speaker 1: fantasy world until it actually happens, right, And there's also 44 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: weird stuff with Doubt. They think that Doubt was offering 45 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: to pay for maniforts legal fees as like a way 46 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: of trying to keep people away from facts. Yeah, well right, 47 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: because they were like being they were hard pressed for money. 48 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: We all know Paul manafor was broke, daddy, uh and 49 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: Rick Gates also like, no one in this entire investigation 50 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: has the fucking wallet for all the legal fees. Uh. 51 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: And yeah, John Dowd was sort of being like, hey, 52 00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: can we get some money? Man? Can we funnel some 53 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: money out of the like the White House defense fun yeah? 54 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: Or and then he was even like then when that 55 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: failed because the ethics people were like absolutely not, what 56 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: the fun what do you think this is? Then he 57 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: was like hey, man, like basically had a hat out, 58 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: and it was like, maybe we can put k together 59 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: real quick to give the man of Fort immediately because 60 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: apparently they urgently needed. And then when that thing got 61 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 1: shut down, Rick Gates played guilty the next day. Yeah, 62 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: so clearly they knew they cannot afford to have these 63 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: people give any kind of like information that would begin 64 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: connecting dots to the point where yeah, we're even seeing 65 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: John Dowd going the extra mile and do a little kickstarter. 66 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't Trump do it? He's a billionaire, he should 67 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: just pay his own money. Oh he's not a billionaire, 68 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: and he's cheap as fun. The reason is so expensive, 69 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: I know, like I thought it would be so much cheaper, 70 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, he just thought just very easy. Just 71 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: makes some you know, Venmo payments and put a couple 72 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: of emojis that have nothing to do, and you're good. 73 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: I'll be interested to see how Trump space reacts to 74 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: the revelations around his like tax documents, because I write, 75 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: I do think that he's going to be much less 76 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: wealthy than than they think. Dude, what would be the 77 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: amount that would be totally Emperor's naked, like the clothes 78 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: have been stripped. We see you in the mushroom, Penis. 79 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, like under a hundred million. Probably. I 80 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: like the idea that he's like he's only worth like 81 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 1: three million, like it says he's so bad as honest. 82 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: I can already see the people making arguments where they 83 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: go being a billionaire is not about how much money 84 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: you have, like saying ship where you're just like how 85 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: he lied about even having it. Yeah, but it costs 86 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 1: money to have money. Yeah, what it's more about like 87 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: what you're worth right there? Yeah, not paper, you ain't 88 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: worth ship. There will bend time and space to make 89 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: it at least like yeah, oh yeah very much. Yeah, 90 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: like a power of now kind of dude. He's like, 91 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: just I know the secret and Robin said some ship 92 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: like that. Ye. So Rosenstein is also back in the 93 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: news with his week week. As he might have the 94 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 1: weakest chin, it would be impossible to uppercut him. Yeah, 95 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: you're just your hand. It's like a shark snowt So 96 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: at the time that we're recording this, the New York 97 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: Times is reporting that Rosenstein offered to where a wire 98 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: to record Trump to help invoke the twenty five Amendment. 99 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: He didn't go through with it, but he was basically 100 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,679 Speaker 1: hoping to use the evidence too. I think they said, 101 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: convince Pence and Sessions to invoke the amendment. Um, like, 102 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: gather evidence that this dude is just They act like 103 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: they don't work with him every day and anyways, like, yo, 104 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: have you heard what he said? It's like, I'm here, 105 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: what do you mean? But maybe they were just like no, no, 106 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: now he's good, and he's like what I I just 107 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: sat in a meeting with him where he, you know, 108 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: didn't seem to know why we have a defense department. 109 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: He used Star Wars toys to explain the space. Um. 110 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: But now, so he came out at the end of 111 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: last week and basically said that you know nothing, none 112 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: of this is true. Uh, all of my dealings with 113 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: the President have made it it's clear that we don't 114 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: need the twenty ft the amendment. And then other people 115 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: said that he only brought that up sarcastically. So we 116 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: were thinking, maybe this is being floated by Trump people 117 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: in order to give them a justification to fire Rosenstein. Yeah, 118 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's so many ways to cut 119 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: this up and look at it. I mean, on one hand, 120 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: you know that this idea came out of Rod Rosenstein 121 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: writing that memo that ultimately had called me fired, and 122 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: that threw him for a loop. And then he was like, oh, 123 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: I didn't realize that was gonna happen. But then you 124 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: don't know if he was totally ignorant that that would 125 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: be the case. But also you know that as the 126 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: like as we're talking right now, Michael Cohen has been 127 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: talking to Robert Mueller. He has a lot of information 128 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: that it seems like Palm Manafort probably has a lot 129 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: of information that we're starting to see like the finisher 130 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: moves that Trump is trying to use now, and he 131 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: really needs a pretext to fire Rod Rosenstein if he's 132 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: gonna kneecap Muller. So I think it's fair to assume 133 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: that Trump is going to maybe do some crazy ship 134 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: to try and derail it in some way, because everybody 135 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: who knows where the bodies are buried are talking to 136 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: Muller for immunity or just because like Alan Weisselberg, the 137 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: guy who's the CFO who people say is the real 138 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: like the dude who knows the money due, Yeah, he 139 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: knows how the money moves, right and has He's been 140 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: the CFO of the Trump organization since the seventies. So 141 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, I mean there's another theory. Super producer 142 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: Nick Stump might be positing that maybe this is someone 143 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: in d o J trying to provoke a rash response 144 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: from Trump to create a constitutional crisis, and then it 145 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: would be clear to get rid of Trump. I don't 146 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: know that there's so many ways to look at it, 147 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: because even when you look at the we are the 148 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: White House Resistance anonymous op ed, that could have been 149 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: seen as I believe that there are people doing whatever 150 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: they can to try and keep him from, you know, 151 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: indulging his worst instincts. But you could also see that 152 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: as you know, furthering the narrative that there is this 153 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: deep state conspiracy against Trump, and this Rosenstein thing could 154 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: also serve that narrative to where it's like, I mean, 155 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: look at these guys. These guys are wearing wires trying 156 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: to set me up. I mean, the game is rigged. 157 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: I don't think that they're the people that Trump picked, 158 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: but deep state that's his staff. Yeah, yeah, no exactly, 159 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: but I mean, but those are. But that's the if 160 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: you are a Fox News accolyte and that's all you're consuming, 161 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: then that helps your confirmation by it's just that much more. Right. 162 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: But that there was talk that they might be declassifying 163 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: just like everything right and right, A ton of documents 164 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,599 Speaker 1: were about on last week. Yeah, that would have exposed 165 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: intel gathering methods or sources. And now Trump is backing 166 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: away from that, Yeah, because a bunch of allies were like, hey, motherfucker, 167 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: that's like there's ship in there that we also need. 168 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: Like this wouldn't just affect the US, this infects many 169 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: intelligence communities and just just this is reckless. But that 170 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: was I guess a previous possible attempt to blow this up. 171 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: So that that was another indicator that we had last 172 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: week that maybe he's just trying to do drastic things 173 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: and would have been desperate because like we were saying, 174 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: it's it was reaking of the memo gate thing, when 175 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: it was the memo was supposed to absolve him of 176 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: all guilt and show that Carter Page actually wasn't a 177 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: Russian asset. Spoiler alert, there's they've been watching him for years. 178 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: But like, yeah, I think right, like we're saying he's 179 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: just thrashing now. Yeah, And Caleb, you bring up a 180 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: good point that I feel like conservatives never want to 181 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: acknowledge when they're putting together all these vast conspiracies, is 182 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: these are all people hired by Trump who are conservatives themselves, 183 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: like who agree with us what he wants to do, 184 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: who campaigned with him, and like like Jeff Sessions is 185 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: not the swamp. That's his. Yeah, that's him at the 186 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: very least having some modicum of respect for the you know, 187 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: not everybody's following it like us. And I'm sure there's 188 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: people who are like, man, fuck Jeff's Sessions. And it's 189 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 1: like like they don't know that, they like you, don't 190 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: know how it works. They don't know that he gave 191 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: him that job. Well, yeah, and I think it's it's again, 192 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: it's just it's it all depends on whatever narrative at 193 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: that time is going to help obscure the president's guilt. 194 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: And they're trying basically and everything but the kitchen sink 195 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 1: attack here. Yeah, And I think Trump's one true genius 196 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: gift is knowing how to like basically be like a 197 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: middle school mean girl, like messy bitch who like knows 198 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: how to get drama going around them just NonStop and 199 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: so and then he knows how to play that in 200 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: the media, Like that's what he's good at. So he 201 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: knows how to just create headlines that are going to 202 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: at least play to his base and make his basse, 203 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: you know, think what he wants them to think. So 204 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: there's a new book by Kathleen Jamison Hall that is 205 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: profiled by Jay Mayer in a New New Yorker article 206 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: where she basically says that Kathleen Jamison Hall is a 207 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: pen professor who basically has devoted her all life to 208 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: following and studying elections, and she her main specialty prior 209 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: to this past election was focusing on how the debates 210 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: swung elections in various directions. And she's never had a 211 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: political bias. She's, you know, just everyone. Jam May gets 212 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: quotes from all of our colleagues and they're like, she's 213 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: just such a hard ass and so all about the 214 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: numbers that you can't funk around right personality, just like 215 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: you can't say anything as a joke because she's just 216 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: going to be like, no, that's not true. She's just 217 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: like a machine of truth. And so the article starts 218 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: out by pointing out that both sides have either said 219 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: they don't think Russia swung it, or we laugh at 220 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 1: the idea that they did. We don't. But I think 221 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: people on the right are like, oh, it was putin right, 222 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: or at least discounting the idea that it's knowable in 223 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: any way that how can we how can we ever 224 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: know what change things, and so this academic has spent 225 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: the last year like looking into the numbers, the very 226 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: specific details of what Russia did. And she makes the 227 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: point that yes, you can actually say like, based on 228 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: a preponderance of evidence. Obviously we don't have you know, 229 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: in a situation like this, you can't go and look 230 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: at someone's brain and say, well, this is clearly but 231 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: based on like the g RU and Russia. It's like, 232 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: so this what you were thinking, yeah, exactly. But the 233 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,239 Speaker 1: effect was that they had access to all this different information. 234 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: They had Hillary Clinton's strategic like roadmap basically, and they 235 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: went about suppressing different like points that they were scared of. 236 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: This is the Russians and the Trump administration. Like. One 237 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: of their biggest week points was that voters in three 238 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: battleground states Michigan, Wisconsin, in Pennsylvania that she ended up losing, 239 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: there was an unusually high proportion of residents whose demographic 240 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: and voting profiles identified them as likely Democrats, but Hillary defectors, 241 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: people who were so unhappy with her that they were 242 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: considering voting for a third party candidate. And so the 243 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: Clinton campaign had identified those people, and the Russians stole 244 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: that information and it was available to everyone, including the 245 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: Trump campaign, and the Trump campaign and the Russians specifically 246 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: went after those people and just made sure they stayed home, yeah, 247 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: and tried to either at them to stay home or 248 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: vote for a third party candidate. And this information about 249 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: those voters in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, that was information 250 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: that that they know was stolen from the Clinton campus. 251 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: They do know that, and that was that came out 252 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: when Mueller announced the indictment of all those Russians back 253 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: in July. That was named in. That was specifically named 254 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: in as information that they had access to. But that's 255 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: just one aspect of her argument. But I found that 256 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: particularly convincing, and most of her argument is just you know, 257 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: pointing out how every election in the modern era has 258 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: gone up to this point. Is the elections have similar resources, 259 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: similar roadmaps, and similar weaknesses, and they cancel each other 260 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: out for the most part. And in this case, you 261 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: just had this extra actor who was pushing on the 262 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: side of the Trump campaign and things were definitely more 263 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: even than I think people realized. Heading into the election. 264 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: Everyone was like, Trump has no chance, and it turns 265 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: out he did. But with the help of Russia, and 266 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: with Russia, you know, with those leaked emails for instance, 267 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: Like one of the questions she asks is, like, imagine 268 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: if we it were even and Russia had leaked both 269 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: the Clinton cash of emails and the equivalent on the 270 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: Trump side, what would that have looked like? And that 271 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: would have exposed like the Stormy Daniel stuff. It would 272 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: have exposed like Trump Tower meeting, Trump Tower meetings, like 273 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: all sorts of crazy ship That would have had a 274 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: huge impact on an election that ended up coming down 275 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: to a few hundred thousand votes. So it is a 276 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: really compelling argument. We'll link off to the article about 277 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: the book. What was the other thing you were saying 278 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: about James Comey, like right after he came out and said, okay, 279 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: we looked into Hillary and there's nothing. But also kind 280 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: of right, so there was that press conference where Comy 281 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: came out and he basically said right before the election, right, 282 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: it's it was the October. It was the earlier one, 283 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: the press conference that happen over the summer. Worst Comy 284 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: said we're not going to pursue this investigation any further, 285 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: but and then went just in on the Clinton and 286 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: like how careless her actions were and just like really 287 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: set a lot of negative shit about her, and that 288 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: was shown to be pretty impactful, like both both Comy 289 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: press conferences or Comy announcements that were sort of unprecedented. 290 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: Nobody expected, like the head of the FBI to behave 291 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: in that way. Uh, we're impactful. And you know how 292 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: many people voted who they voted for. Uh, you know. 293 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: Nate Silver specifically does say that that last Comy email, 294 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: you can like look at the numbers and see that 295 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: that basically swung the election. But this makes the argument 296 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: that James Comy was acting on the basis of a 297 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: forged Russian document. Basically, Russian hackers created this document where 298 00:16:54,920 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: it seemed like Clinton was colluding with Loretta Lynch and 299 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: like Lauretta Lynch was like, I'm gonna go easy on 300 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: you Hill, and like they had this back and forth 301 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: and it was actually a like forgery, a shitty Russian forgery. 302 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: But that made Comey worried that once it came out 303 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: that he had stopped this election, that this other evidence, 304 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: but this other evidence would come out and it would 305 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: look like the Clinton campaign was in cahoots with the 306 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: Department of Justice. So he like went extra hard to 307 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: make it. Yeah. Wait, how does the author know that 308 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: James Comey even interacted with this forged document? I forget 309 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: exactly what that line of reasoning is, but it seemed, 310 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: oh okay, I think it's saying because they were also 311 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 1: targeting the FBI to try and give them as much 312 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: misinformation as well. Yeah yeah, wow, okay, well look we're here. Yeah. 313 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 1: It's just interesting because I mean, have you have you 314 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: started cavassing yet? Uh? No, I'm about to because I 315 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: was just reading an article about the VAN the voter 316 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: Activation network, which is what has most of like any 317 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: voter outreach you do that. Their mobile app is what 318 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: you know cameras is now back in the day used 319 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: to be clipboard and just striking numbers off the list. 320 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: They have an app, right. The increase in mobile users 321 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: of that has increased two since the last mid terms. 322 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: So I was learning that as like a dimension of 323 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: voter enthusiasm. I mean most likely probably phone bank into 324 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: districts that are more swing districts because I'm like, locally, 325 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: I'm not too I've been I've been really active because 326 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: this year I was like I have to, I have 327 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 1: to like do something so I've been doing a bunch 328 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: of canvassing and voter registration and and there's like five 329 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: swing districts within out like within an hour of l A. 330 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 1: So it's been it's you have a lot to choose from. 331 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: But I've actually been really surprised the number of Republican 332 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: doors I've knocked on that in which they've answered, and 333 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: we've had like oddly very thoughtful like conversations about how 334 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: concerned they are. I don't know if that's how it 335 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: bears out in statistics nationwide, but like, I haven't spoken 336 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: to a Republican in California yet that isn't like at 337 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,919 Speaker 1: the very least put off, if not terrified by Trump, 338 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 1: which is which is encouraging to hear. You want people 339 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: on that side because they're still getting what they want. 340 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: They get justices that will ban abortion, they get tax 341 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: breaks during economic booms, like they're getting what they want, 342 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: and so to hear them still say this guy is 343 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: terrifying to me? Is I think super important? Yeah? Well, 344 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: I think I think California probably is a different brand 345 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: of Republican. I'm sure if you went knocking on doors 346 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: and like you know, Mississippi or Alabama, and those Republicans. 347 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think it's true. There there's clearly a 348 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: group of concerned Republicans were like, this is like don't games, absolutely, 349 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: but don't forget. You don't have to win over everyone 350 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: to win. Not a house and not a house. And yeah, uh, 351 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: just bring the reasonable people into the And I think 352 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: it's uh an important point that actually going face to 353 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 1: face with people, they're forced to encounter your position as 354 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: that of an actual human being, with like a soul. 355 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: And also Liberals are the worst about voting of every demographic. 356 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 1: Like you don't have to send volunteers college students into 357 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: farm country to remind farmers to vote, They just do it. 358 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: But you have to go into cities and suburbs and 359 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: hammer Democrats to vote combine and time again. Otherwise you 360 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: just you literally won't win. I did a fundraiser show 361 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: for this candidate running in the Midwest, and they said, 362 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: they were like, you know, the way to win my 363 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: district is to either swing Republican women in the suburbs 364 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: or to get the city in my district to vote, 365 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: just to turn up. And she's like, I'm not holding 366 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 1: my breath on the city. I'm focused on the suburbs, 367 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: the women in the suburbs. Hey, all you urban youths, 368 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: voting is lit. We got it all right, So that's 369 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 1: been solved. We're gonna take a quick break. We'll be 370 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: right back, and we're back. The President of the United 371 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: States was at the u n speaking to the UN 372 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: General Assembly and just kind of blabbed on about all 373 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: kinds of stuff that he likes to talk about, North Korea, 374 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:16,239 Speaker 1: oil prices, his solution to the migrant crisis. Uh, and 375 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: I think he literally suggested that the other people on 376 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: the UN General Assembly make their countries great again. And 377 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: he's basically, why do they want to leave? Make it 378 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: so they don't want to leave anyway, right, and then 379 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: you'll solve the crisis, because it's just that easy. But yeah, 380 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: that was a odd, odd couple of moments, that whole speech, 381 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: And you got laughed at pretty quickly. Yeah, yeah, I 382 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: think within a minute or two they people were just 383 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: laughing at him. But they think they laughed because he said, 384 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: we've done the we've done the we've done the best 385 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: work of any of basically any administration in history. And 386 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: it's like, you're he's literally like a fucking willy want 387 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: a character. Yeah, he talks like what's that character's name, 388 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: like Prudience or like the little fat guy Adolphuss. That's Trump, 389 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: just like being like, look at me. We didn't like 390 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: chocolate over his face, laughing at him, laughing. Listen to 391 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: We have a clip of it just so you can 392 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: kind of it's funny. Have you seen the clip, Like, yeah, 393 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: there's a moment when right after he says it, he's processing. 394 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 1: He's like, yes, they hate me, but anyway, here, let's 395 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: listen to the whole clip. My administration has accomplished more 396 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: than almost any administration in the history of our country 397 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 1: America's so true, so true. I didn't expect that reaction. 398 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: But that's okay, that's the amazing. It's kind of it 399 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: was the one time I was kind of like, oh, 400 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: he showed a human side for a second, where I 401 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: thought normally he would just be like, yep, that's what 402 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 1: I said. Applause break, now moving on. But you could 403 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: tell he was even like, all right, yeah, it's kind 404 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: of tall on that one. Wow, you guys read the news. 405 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: Didn't realize it was an informed audience. There's also that 406 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: part of his personality where like he loves to talk 407 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: a big game on Twitter and when people aren't around, 408 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: but like he doesn't like to fire people. He doesn't 409 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: like to be disliked by people. So if he's faced 410 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: with people, you know, laughing in his face, which is, 411 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: by the way, his biggest nightmare. That's like textbook narcissistic personality. 412 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 1: Is your nightmare is people laughing at you. And then 413 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: if you go through his speeches and just him talking 414 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: in general, it's like they're all laughing at us. Don't 415 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,479 Speaker 1: let them laugh at us. Mexico is laughing at us. 416 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 1: And then I think four years ago he tweeted, is 417 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: like the president is all laughing, laughing you forced this 418 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: country is people are laughing at our country.

Yeah, it was Yeah, 420 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: just that moment though, I could kind of tell, like 421 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: I said, he's in his bubble and he really thought 422 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: he could say some ship like that and people just 423 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 1: be like, yeah, you have done it at a at 424 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: a you know, backyard rally or right, But he's actually 425 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: in front of people and you hear he's he's literally 426 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: so dumb that he has to fill the dead Arabigung 427 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: so true so true. Okay, that didn't go.

He could not stop 488 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: interrupting women. It was just NonStop. There was a lot 489 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: of I mean not that it is just like not 490 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 1: a shock and if anyone is shocked at people interrupting 491 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: women in uh any space at any point, at this point, 492 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: it's like fucking grow up. There's no more if I 493 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: and I was thinking about this today of like very early, 494 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: like people are not really expressing that much surprise at 495 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: this happening. Now now it's just happening, and you make 496 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: of it what you do. Something that bothered me about, uh, 497 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 1: the coverage of this story, Uh that we were we 498 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: were all watching it the CNN Live and uh again 499 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: it's like the twenty four news. Our cycle is treated 500 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: like fucking ESPN a lot of the time, but that 501 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 1: felt like especially on display today where there was one 502 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: point towards the end of the hearing where they like 503 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: took a five minute break and they cut to like 504 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: a fucking ESPN table full of commentators who were all 505 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: taught like you could have literally switched out Kavanaugh and 506 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: Ford or even like men and women with any two 507 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: sports teams, and it was indistinguishable, and it was just 508 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: just it's it's so weird and conflicting where it's like, 509 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: it's this incredibly important moment, but it's also being treated 510 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:01,719 Speaker 1: and at some point played for by people I fundamentally 511 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: agree with as entertainment. And you know, like the even 512 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: in you know, the big theatrical Court, you know, people 513 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: save their headliners for last, and you know, you see 514 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz comes out at the very end, and and 515 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: Booker comes out at the very end, and just the 516 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: whole fucking production of it. And and that was something 517 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: about Christine Plazzi Ford's um testimony that I found very 518 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: compelling is that, I mean, aside from all the brave, 519 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: horrendous ship she has to relive again for this fucking 520 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: national stage, just acknowledging that like, yeah, no one wants 521 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: to do this, and to an extent, she's being asked 522 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: to perform for better or worse for everybody, and and 523 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: drudge up all this fucking trauma for everybody that she 524 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: says at the beginning, like I don't want to do this. 525 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to be here and for and and 526 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: and like you know, she she doesn't want to perform 527 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: for people because to some extent, every person in that 528 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: fucking room is performing something, and some of them are 529 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: performing something I agree with some of them are, but 530 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: all of them are performing. Lindsey Graham got his performance. Um, 531 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: she was incredibly compelling and very very human. It was 532 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: like an island of humanity in the middle of all 533 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: this grandstanding and you know, Danna Dannatt, all right, it's 534 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: time for the main event. Like everybody was just really 535 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: treating it like, you know, and then they would get 536 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: the uh, you know, faux solemnity and be like, this 537 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: is very serious issue, but like it was definitely treated 538 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: like the fucking super Bowl. Yeah yeah, And even like 539 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: the brevity like pundits offer, like sudden that they have 540 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: a moment to laugh, it's still kind of shitty when 541 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: you were really looking at what this situation is. And 542 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: I feel like, even I remember as I watch it 543 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: and like trying to sort of to deflect my own 544 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: discomfort and like embarrassment as a man in a society 545 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: where this is how women are treated, we're just sort 546 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: of being like, yeah, like this is fucking shitty. I 547 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: feel like watching it, I just like this seems like 548 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: the worst way to actually mediate something like this. But again, 549 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: it was clearly like this partisan dog fight thing where 550 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: everyone had their combatant in there and whatever, the collateral 551 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: damage to these people didn't matter because they like they're 552 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: playing another game two outside of this, which is for 553 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: the Republicans when the culture War stacked the Supreme Court 554 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: and the Democrats is just like, let's just try and 555 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: block as much as the ship we can. And like, 556 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: I guess these these two people happened to be the 557 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: conduits for that to all go down in But yeah, 558 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: it was. It was. It was one of those things too, 559 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: like even as you talk about the commentary, people would 560 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: go into like her performancemance, yeah, perform his performance, yeah, 561 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: And and there was there was like one SoundBite that 562 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: was like, well, as we know historically, the women always lose. 563 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: And I'm like, you could put in a fucking football 564 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: team name there, right, are you someone? And CNN said 565 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: that the women the women, like the rams are the bears. 566 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: Like it's just fucking ridiculous the way these stories are covered. 567 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: I mean, that's not the huge point here, but it 568 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: was something that stuck out to me, especially on viewing 569 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: this today, and even like you know, like us and 570 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: in the whole world gathered around it, like it's a 571 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: sports game. It's it's to a degree, it's like you, 572 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: it's so important and we all need to be watching, 573 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: but it's also disturbing the way that we all consume 574 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: it and the and the I don't know. Yeah, well, 575 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: it's like a cultural super Bowl Sunday where everyone's like new. 576 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: People were like taking time on a day to watch 577 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: it because it's a very important moment. What Dr Ford 578 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: did is very important, and but you think to like 579 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: it also, we were reading stories about people who uh 580 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,239 Speaker 1: Nick was telling us about, like you know, women who 581 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: were watching and brought to tears hearing her testimony, but 582 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: they were Trump supporters, and after they kind of wiped 583 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: their tearsmen were like, yeah, but you know what, I 584 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: still don't think I think having not still be confirmed 585 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: like it was, people were still compartmentalizing what was going 586 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: on to service to this like culture war, this zero 587 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: sum game where there were either the Democrats win or 588 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: the Republicans win, and that's it. That's all. They're only 589 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: looking to attitude that prison. That's a lot of the 590 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: unfortunate part about it is no matter what happened today, 591 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: people's minds were made up going into it and Unfortunately, 592 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: I think we've all grown so cynical to know that, 593 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,959 Speaker 1: like it's probably not going to change anything. Yeah, uh, 594 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: I hope it does. But but I think if we 595 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: were all too place bets right now, I would assume 596 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: his confirmation is going to go through. Unfortunately. I wrote 597 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: last night just as I was like thinking about what 598 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: was coming up, and also we were coming off of 599 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: that Trump press conference where he just like did trump 600 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: jazz like but like really unhinged and didn't really seem 601 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: to be coherent for two hours. I was like thinking 602 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: about how people responded, and you clearly saw like everybody 603 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: who I know was like, what the funk? This guy 604 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: is clearly unhinged and lunatic, But the the other side 605 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: was like, this is why we elected him. And I 606 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 1: do I really do think that we're at this point 607 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: now where it's it's not just that like people are. 608 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,720 Speaker 1: I think we tend to think that the other side 609 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:24,240 Speaker 1: sees what we see and they're just like wilfully ignoring 610 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: it or like bluffing and just pretending like something else happened. 611 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: But I honestly think they legit like see something different. 612 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: Their brain is absorbing different information. Well, it is a 613 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: double edged sword though, because like a lot of the 614 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 1: a lot of the post conference commentary was talking about 615 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,879 Speaker 1: how if their performances, for lack of a better word, 616 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: were flipped and he was really composed and polite and 617 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: she would have come out belligerent and argument of and combative, 618 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: people would have been talking about how horrible it was 619 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: that she was that way, while a lot of people 620 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,919 Speaker 1: are also saying the Republicans were relieved that the fact 621 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: that he came out guns blazing took a really strong stance, 622 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: And so it's like, exactly what they're saying they liked 623 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 1: about the way he approaches exactly what she would have 624 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: been blamed for had she had taken on that kind 625 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: of time. Oh yeah, it's like Brett Kavanaugh is like 626 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: too emotional to look at this hysterical man. But and 627 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: that's the other takeaway is I I think he's guilty, 628 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: But regardless of whether he's found guilty or innocent of this, 629 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: I think the lack of composure he showed at this 630 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: press conference is an entirely different, less important discussion on 631 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: why he might not be fit for the Supreme Court. 632 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: And also there I forget which Democratic senator brought this up. 633 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 1: But there there was it might have been I don't 634 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: want to get wrong, but there was one person who 635 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: brought it to his attention, you know, with that like 636 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: you know, applying it to his own job of like 637 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 1: if you were looking at this situation objectively and you 638 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: think what's happening is okay, you're a bad judge, like 639 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:57,320 Speaker 1: you want the best evidence, right, Yeah, I think it was, Yes, 640 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: it was, And it was like that was one of 641 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 1: the more cogent points I thought made in this entire 642 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: thing to him at least if like, you know, you 643 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: can deny, deny, deny all you want, but like you're 644 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: not even doing good at the job you're supposed to 645 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: be elected to that moment, and when Durbin was calling 646 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 1: out about like basically saying, just open yourself up to 647 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: the FBI investigation. You're saying you're willing to clear your 648 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: good name right and take any necessary measures to do that. 649 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: Will you let on the FBI investigation, that's when he 650 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,359 Speaker 1: was like as clumsily stumbling over his words and evading questions. Yeah, 651 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 1: more at that point than any other point. And yeah, 652 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: it seems like the two like each each the Democrats 653 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 1: and Republicans had their their strategy, and for the Republicans 654 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: it was just hammer this point in that Diane Feinstein 655 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 1: sat on this allegation to the zero hour and then 656 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: suddenly sprung it on us at the at the at 657 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 1: the zero hour, that's not fair, Like what's that about? 658 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: It doesn't that's irrelevant, and like they started that started 659 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: the day out like giving her timeline from her perspectively 660 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: towards perspective, and it was, you know, she didn't want 661 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,280 Speaker 1: to come for it. She knew it was gonna ruin 662 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: her life, but she eventually did because you know, she 663 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,959 Speaker 1: felt like it was her civic duty. Miley Cyrus's little 664 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:16,919 Speaker 1: sister is apparently something that I know exists now. So 665 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 1: she was dating who's that dude who has teeth like 666 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 1: he still sucks his thumb Losanne Losanne. Yeah, so she 667 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,839 Speaker 1: was dating him, diego still dating him maybe, I don't know, 668 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't even care anymore. Now they 669 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:35,320 Speaker 1: broke up. According to a superproducer on a Hosnia, Losanne, 670 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: let me just search Losanne Noah Cyrus know, oh yeah, no, oh, 671 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: So this is the deal. She's got like a whole 672 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 1: merch thing. She was doing with like pizza slime, I guess, 673 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: And there's like sweats that say like I'm like crying 674 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,719 Speaker 1: or sad or whatever. And she bottled her tears up. 675 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 1: It's a result of her break up with Losanne and 676 00:37:56,239 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: it was so bad that she bottled her tears. The 677 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 1: wild thing is, so when you look on the website, 678 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,840 Speaker 1: this is they're selling for a vial of tears, and 679 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 1: I'll tell you the mount in a second. It says 680 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,839 Speaker 1: this is approximately twelve tiers made by Noah Cyrus as 681 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: a result of sadness. Human digestion of these tears is 682 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 1: not suggested because tears are generally pretty salty and that 683 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,359 Speaker 1: would just be super fucking weird if you drink someone 684 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,280 Speaker 1: else's tears, you know what the cost is for twelve 685 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 1: thousand dollars wait for a vial of this person's fucking tears. 686 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,919 Speaker 1: Twelve thousand dollars per vile or people. I think there's 687 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 1: only one vial. Maybe it well then in that case, 688 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 1: in that case, but if there are twelve tears, that 689 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 1: means a thousand dollar for these tear drop tears. Yeah, 690 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: a thousand dollars per tier. I mean, I don't even know. 691 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,399 Speaker 1: I mean, I I there's a cool pr move.

I think they always were. Now 804 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,640 Speaker 1: they're just telling the truth in those surveys as the 805 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 1: stigma as lessons over time. Yeah, it's odd because yeah, 806 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 1: they were showing that fifty and sixty something's just as 807 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 1: likely as twelve to seventeen year olds.

I can a new experience? Yeah, I 815 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,640 Speaker 1: got sucked up and not really fun, but purely out 816 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,840 Speaker 1: of boredom.

Let me tell you the truth, young man. 823 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,919 Speaker 1: And they're like, what, it's all kinds of weird ship 824 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 1: in their head. It's interesting if you go to drug 825 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,399 Speaker 1: abuse dot com, they have all these charts of just 826 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 1: like the average age and percentage of drug use between 827 00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,799 Speaker 1: the different generations that break it up between millennials, Gen X, 828 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 1: baby boomers, and then the Greatest generation, and we're all 829 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 1: kind of clustered together with alcohol like everybody. It goes 830 00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:27,240 Speaker 1: up to eighty around your twenty first birthday of people 831 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:35,400 Speaker 1: use it, but marijuana, cocaine, heroin, stimulant, sedatives, tranquilizers, hallucinogens, 832 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 1: and psychotherapeutics. Baby boomers are all like orders of magnitude 833 00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,200 Speaker 1: higher than anybody else. It's just like that time was. 834 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure wild time if you map wealth 835 00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,000 Speaker 1: on that same curve too, right, yeah, the same thing. 836 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,680 Speaker 1: Because you ain't fucking sixteen a half cocaine money, right, 837 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,920 Speaker 1: you know. I mean you're a fucking your six year 838 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 1: old wheeler dealer, business person or a young person in Hollywood. 839 00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,839 Speaker 1: I mean, why don't that's an issue I want to hear. 840 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,120 Speaker 1: Why is cocaine so overpriced? I think it is clearly 841 00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,760 Speaker 1: like the most expensive one, isn't it. It's pretty expensive? 842 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,080 Speaker 1: I think yeah, maybe yeah, like like literally kilogram for 843 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,160 Speaker 1: kilogram for sure, let's get those prices down and like 844 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 1: her like come on, now, come on, it's just like well, 845 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,279 Speaker 1: it's just it's it's just a total black market. The 846 00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 1: drug trade is violent. You also need massive amounts of 847 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,920 Speaker 1: coca leaves to even produce just a little bit of 848 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,600 Speaker 1: base for cocaine, and then you gotta you gotta step 849 00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,400 Speaker 1: on it, you know what I mean, cheaper like when 850 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:38,400 Speaker 1: it was illegal, like I think anything, like yeah, like 851 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,920 Speaker 1: as something becomes prohibited and prohibition happens, then it turns 852 00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,919 Speaker 1: into the black market where things have crazy value because 853 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,480 Speaker 1: it's illegal and there's more risk involved. Yeah, but I 854 00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 1: think it's probably better that you know, cocaine is not 855 00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 1: just available. I mean, the market determines how much something 856 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,520 Speaker 1: costs on people who like cocaine apparently really like it. 857 00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,720 Speaker 1: It's got like a very strong niche market. Yeah, I'm 858 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:04,040 Speaker 1: surprised that I've heard it's people get good reviews. Yeah, 859 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of podcasters are started off cocaine benders. Dude. 860 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 1: You know, we could fucking do a fucking show, dude 861 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 1: where we're just sucking if jack like you fucking no 862 00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,839 Speaker 1: facts and ship and I fucking worked in politics, dude, 863 00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,800 Speaker 1: Like we could say ship and people will fucking like 864 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,440 Speaker 1: listen dog cocaine in particular, So the highest it goes up, 865 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:28,800 Speaker 1: like millennials peek at like age twenty, where about like 866 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:33,240 Speaker 1: six seven percent of them are using cocaine. Baby boomers 867 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:38,880 Speaker 1: peaked at around the same age at like like of 868 00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,759 Speaker 1: them we're using cocaine. That's yeah, the eighties because they 869 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:43,560 Speaker 1: were coming up, you know, the eighties were no. I 870 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,320 Speaker 1: think it was the seventies seventy at least that was 871 00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 1: my I wonder if cocaine is different now, like because 872 00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,880 Speaker 1: weed is better now and it's like more strong. I 873 00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:53,680 Speaker 1: wonder if coca is cocaine the same as it was 874 00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,080 Speaker 1: in the seventies or is it? I think probably, I mean, 875 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,960 Speaker 1: maybe they've been able to get more purity, but I'd 876 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:00,839 Speaker 1: imagine it's around the same moment because I always talk 877 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,600 Speaker 1: about the purity of cocaine. It's gone down over time. 878 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:05,919 Speaker 1: Uh but I don't know, that's just something my friends 879 00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,960 Speaker 1: talk about. Uh So, and the medical industrial complex is 880 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:16,319 Speaker 1: not studying and like strengthening cocaine, whereas we is cancer medicine. Yeah, 881 00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 1: they're doing a lot of research in this. It's what's 882 00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 1: funny though too. In the same study about it, they 883 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,640 Speaker 1: said the oldest age group they'll also saw a steep increase. 884 00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:27,040 Speaker 1: So people sixty five and older are now using more. 885 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,760 Speaker 1: They're more monthly users of marijuana in that age bracket. 886 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,240 Speaker 1: And I think as people realize that there are actual 887 00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,920 Speaker 1: uses for it medicinally, that like an older person with 888 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,200 Speaker 1: any kind of ailment might be like, you should try 889 00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,800 Speaker 1: this for your pain. Maybe, Well, it's probably should be 890 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:44,879 Speaker 1: a clue that no one is lobbying for medical cocaine. Ever, 891 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,480 Speaker 1: like it's only one drug that people are like, it's 892 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,960 Speaker 1: could be medical, right, right, Yeah, there's nothing else that 893 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,480 Speaker 1: really has a yeah. And it's funny too because when 894 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,320 Speaker 1: we always the conversations around legalization are always like what 895 00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,640 Speaker 1: about the effects on the youth, And it's like what 896 00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,759 Speaker 1: about the kids or whatever, and like that seems pretty 897 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,879 Speaker 1: any where. It's like what about the elders? Right, He's 898 00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,000 Speaker 1: the ones who were you know, like as this article 899 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,239 Speaker 1: and watching to post his talk to your grandparents about 900 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 1: marijuana before somebody else does, did you know Freud? I 901 00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,839 Speaker 1: think people know that he did cocaine, but it really 902 00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:20,279 Speaker 1: did fuel the invention of psychotherapy, and like the whole 903 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,320 Speaker 1: idea of like a talk therapy, which is just like 904 00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:26,520 Speaker 1: so perfect. It's if you've ever been around people on cocaine, 905 00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:30,600 Speaker 1: they're just NonStop love talking about themselves. And he was 906 00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:35,880 Speaker 1: heavily using cocaine, like prescribing it to himself because he 907 00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:39,760 Speaker 1: thought it helped with his social anxiety, but was heavily 908 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,879 Speaker 1: using cocaine when he invented like now I feel much 909 00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,360 Speaker 1: better after I've talked for like eight hours in a 910 00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:49,800 Speaker 1: row to somebody, so like it really is just cocaine 911 00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:53,360 Speaker 1: invented that cocaine is the reason that Coca cola is 912 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,960 Speaker 1: so popular because you know, they were like a thousand 913 00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:01,520 Speaker 1: different sodas during that time period, and pepsi ever won. 914 00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,919 Speaker 1: No Pepsi only came around in the sixties seventies. Coca 915 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,800 Speaker 1: Cola lost all of its cocaine in the early twentieth century. 916 00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:13,239 Speaker 1: But you've got that pre band cola. Let me and yeah, 917 00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:17,520 Speaker 1: thanks to cocaine, we have the XFL come out of it. 918 00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,719 Speaker 1: So it's not just not just those things, just the 919 00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:23,960 Speaker 1: world wrestling.
