Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central's.
Speaker 3: America's only sorts for news.
Speaker 1: This it's the Daily Joke with your host promis.
Speaker 3: To the show. I'm run Chang. We got so much
Speaker 3: to talk about tonight.
Speaker 4: Trump nominee hits the Strip Club, Jordan Clapper and I
Speaker 4: fight about sports, and Neil deGrasse Tyson will explain space
Speaker 4: to me. But fus, let's get into the big international story.
Speaker 5: Breaking news this morning out of South Korea, where the
Speaker 5: president there just declared marshal law.
Speaker 4: Okay, South Korea, stop giving Trump ideas, right, He didn't
Speaker 4: know you could do that. Unfortunately for South Korea, this
Speaker 4: looks like the beginning of a long and slow descent
Speaker 4: into dictatorship, of a dark period which may last years
Speaker 4: or even decades.
Speaker 6: Breaking news from overseas.
Speaker 7: South Korea's parliament just voted to nullify the declaration of
Speaker 7: martial law that was made by the country's president just
Speaker 7: a few hours earlier.
Speaker 4: Oh that's great, good old Asian efficiency. The president went nuts,
Speaker 4: declared martial law. The assembly overruled him, marshal law over
Speaker 4: and they did it all in a lunch break. All right,
Speaker 4: everybody get back to doing k po touch up. Yes,
Speaker 4: but I'm glad this didn't get our hand because I
Speaker 4: don't even know what martial law in South Korea looks like.
Speaker 4: I mean, do they wheel this doll out and whoever
Speaker 4: moves get shot? But let's turn to a country just
Speaker 4: beginning as fast as the period. In another edition of
Speaker 4: Trump two point zero coming for the White House.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come.
Speaker 4: Don Trump has spent the last few weeks filling out
Speaker 4: his cabinet, and now that Matt Gates has dropped out
Speaker 4: to try to find the high school from Euphoria, there
Speaker 4: is a new nominee for shadiest nominee, Pete Hegseth, Trump's
Speaker 4: pick for Secretary of Defense and guy with resting divorce
Speaker 4: face and all right, let's hear it left the snowflakes,
Speaker 4: what's wrong with this one?
Speaker 8: CBS News has confirmed that Pete Hechseth was forced to
Speaker 8: step down from a veteran's nonprofit after being accused of
Speaker 8: alcohol abuse, sexual misconduct, and mismanaging the group's money.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's a lot for one person. Alcohol, sex, and
Speaker 4: financial misconduct. I mean it's called delegating bud.
Speaker 3: Try it sometimes.
Speaker 4: How could someone do so many at things at the
Speaker 4: same time, Like, not only are you drinking and harassing women,
Speaker 4: you've also got to find time to suck at quick books.
Speaker 4: I mean, let's go through his charges because I'm sure
Speaker 4: the libs are just overreacting. Like with alcohol, I mean what,
Speaker 4: you probably had too much shot in ay at the
Speaker 4: office Christmas party, like one time, how bad could it be?
Speaker 7: The report says Hegseth was repeatedly intoxicated to the point
Speaker 7: of needing to be carried out of the organization's events.
Speaker 9: So inugrated by one am that a staffer who had
Speaker 9: driven him to his hotel in a van full of
Speaker 9: other drunken staffers, asked for assistance to get Hegseth to
Speaker 9: his room.
Speaker 10: Heg Seth passed out in the back of a party bus,
Speaker 10: then urinated in front of a hotel where CBA's team
Speaker 10: was staying.
Speaker 5: At one point, HeiG Seth had to be restrained, while
Speaker 5: drunk from joining the dancers on the stage of a
Speaker 5: Louisiana strip club.
Speaker 4: Wow Wow, do you know how hot it is to
Speaker 4: be the saddest thing at a strip club? I mean,
Speaker 4: half naked, pregnant woman dancing to pay her medical bills.
Speaker 4: Was looking at him like, damn, this guy needs to
Speaker 4: get some help, right. Also, how do you not know
Speaker 4: that you can't just get on stage at a strip club? Okay,
Speaker 4: they don't even let regulars do that. I'm guessing I
Speaker 4: don't know. That's what Wikipedia says. Look, you guys are laughing,
Speaker 4: But does no one see the tragedy in this a
Speaker 4: warrior forced to fight when really he just wants to
Speaker 4: get on that stage and dance. But yeah, he seems
Speaker 4: to have nailed the alcoholism. Let's hear about the sexual misconduct.
Speaker 9: Heck Seth and other members of the management team sexually
Speaker 9: pursued the organization's female staffers, who may divide it into
Speaker 9: two groups, the party girls and the not party girls.
Speaker 3: Okay, y'all, let me just check this real quick. All right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's not allowed.
Speaker 4: I don't know what's worse that he supposedly divided his
Speaker 4: female staff into pow girls and not potty girls, or
Speaker 4: that he couldn't think of a wood for not potty
Speaker 4: It's really a bit.
Speaker 3: Of a caveman, isn't he.
Speaker 4: When the sun in sky day when sun go away,
Speaker 4: not day time for potty girl. So Pete was reportedly
Speaker 4: constantly drunk and trying to sleep with the potty girls
Speaker 4: on staff.
Speaker 3: But what about the financial mismanagement, you say?
Speaker 6: Under his leadership, Veterans for Freedom soon ran up enormous debt,
Speaker 6: and financial records indicate that by the end of two
Speaker 6: thousand and eight, the year after he became the leader
Speaker 6: of the group, it was unable to pay its creditors.
Speaker 10: Hegg says had treated the organization funds like they were
Speaker 10: a personal expense account for partying, drinking, and using CVA
Speaker 10: events as little more than opportunities to hook up with
Speaker 10: women on the road.
Speaker 4: When he joined this veteran's charity, did he think that
Speaker 4: he was the veteran it was going to? I mean, guys,
Speaker 4: really help my mental health to go to this strip club? Okay,
Speaker 4: I have PTSD, partty time suck my so unlike wrap
Speaker 4: around shades, none of this is a great look for
Speaker 4: Pete Hegseth. But you know what, hey, these are anonymous
Speaker 4: quotes from a bunch of haters.
Speaker 3: I'm sure his mom loves him.
Speaker 11: Meanwhile, and heg Seth's mother sent him an email in
Speaker 11: twenty eighteen during his second divorce calling him quote an
Speaker 11: abuser of women, Penelope Hegseeth, writing quote, I have no
Speaker 11: respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around,
Speaker 11: and uses women for his own power and ego.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm putting mom down as not a potty girl.
Speaker 4: For more on this controversy surrounding p heg SAT's appointment,
Speaker 4: let's go to Capitol Hill with Troy Wata bro Troy, Hey, Troy.
Speaker 12: Now, what's the It's tense, Ronnie. I asked Pete earlier
Speaker 12: for his response to this report, and he said, these
Speaker 12: are baseless allegations and he's determined to clear his name.
Speaker 12: And then he threw up all over my shoes.
Speaker 3: Okay, so what he's drunk right now?
Speaker 12: Oh no, no, no, no, no, this was that was this morning?
Speaker 12: He was he was drunk this morning. He is not
Speaker 12: drunk now, yeah, what's that?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 3: Sorry? He also is drunk.
Speaker 4: Now, okay, okay, well that's ridiculous. Okay, this has to
Speaker 4: kill his nomination.
Speaker 1: Oh god, I hope not what.
Speaker 3: You want a drunk secretary of Defense.
Speaker 12: Like the sober ones have been so great. Yeah, all
Speaker 12: they've done has got us into wars. Okay, Iraq Afghanistan,
Speaker 12: I'd rack again, and who can forget the war on Christmas?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Okay, that last one is not a real war.
Speaker 12: Yeah, tell that to the Starbucks brister who wished me
Speaker 12: a happy Holidays this morning. It's Christmas, you know, the
Speaker 12: day of Mariah Carey. The point is, I want a
Speaker 12: secretary who's not invading countries because he's passed out in
Speaker 12: the situation room, covered in his own piss.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, but when he's not passed out, he'll be
Speaker 4: a big problem.
Speaker 3: Like drunk people get mad.
Speaker 12: Yeah, but it's easier to distract a drunk person, you know,
Speaker 12: if he's like, I'm mad at France, Let's go to
Speaker 12: war with France, we'll just say, or let's go to karaoke,
Speaker 12: you know, and half an hour later we're in Koreatown
Speaker 12: singing Pink Pony Club. Well, he's straight, so it'll be
Speaker 12: lose yourself, but you get it.
Speaker 3: Eternal peace. Wait, let me explain it to you visually.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 12: So the more drunk someone is, the more peaceful they become. Okay,
Speaker 12: so it goes war in Iraq?
Speaker 3: Who's Iraq? Love Iraq so much? Let's adopt a dog?
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, aren't you worry that a raging alcoholic will
Speaker 4: have access to the nuclear codes.
Speaker 12: No, do you know how hard it is to enter
Speaker 12: a code when you're drunk. He'll just be poking away
Speaker 12: with his little fingies and halfway through and just realize
Speaker 12: he's playing Candy Crush on his phone.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, this aw song is very irresponsible, Troy. Okay,
Speaker 4: America needs a competent administrator of its military.
Speaker 12: Ronnie, how can I put this? You're sounding very not
Speaker 12: party girl right now?
Speaker 3: Okay, Hey, hey, you take that back. Okay, I am
Speaker 3: partty girl. I am potty girl, Troy want everybody.
Speaker 2: Hey, when we come back, we'll fight about sports, So
Speaker 2: don't go away it.
Speaker 3: Hey, welcome back to a daily show.
Speaker 4: Let's wee win the dismantling of American democracy. Let's take
Speaker 4: a moment to focus on what people really care about sports.
Speaker 4: For a full recap of the brightest stories in the
Speaker 4: world of bucks and straps, we turned to sports war.
Speaker 1: You're ready for better.
Speaker 2: It's time for brought to you by Cambling.
Speaker 1: Cambling the gentleman's addiction.
Speaker 3: Hey, what's up? Cholten? Chol dead? So I'm Ronnie Chad
Speaker 3: and I'm Jordan Klepfer.
Speaker 13: This is sports war, the show where we are legally
Speaker 13: not allowed to agree with each other.
Speaker 4: So if I say college athletes should not be.
Speaker 13: Paid, then I say everyone in college should be paid,
Speaker 13: even the professors.
Speaker 4: Uh, the professors do get paid.
Speaker 3: Dipshit.
Speaker 13: Clearly not your professors, Ronnie. And what's even major in
Speaker 13: Let me guess eating by yourself in the dining hall.
Speaker 4: Oh, like you missed the popular then you have three
Speaker 4: roommates kill themselves.
Speaker 13: Okay, it was two. The third we never saw again.
Speaker 13: Enough about college let's talk college sports. It was rivalry
Speaker 13: week for college football, and on Saturday things got extra
Speaker 13: rivalry e.
Speaker 7: On Sunday, the Big Ten fine Michigan and Ohio State
Speaker 7: one hundred thousand dollars each after a postgame brawl erupted Saturday.
Speaker 3: Look at this.
Speaker 7: The fighting broke out between the two squads after the
Speaker 7: Wolverines planted their flag at midfield of Ohio Stadium following
Speaker 7: their thirteen to ten win over the Buckeyes. Police god
Speaker 7: to use pepper spray to disperse the players.
Speaker 1: Boom, boom.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 13: As my grandfather used to say, if there's grass on
Speaker 13: the field, play ball. Just realize that's not what he
Speaker 13: was talking about.
Speaker 4: Okay, Jordan, it's a shame you're not handsome because you're
Speaker 4: very stupid. Okay, Reckless fighting should only happen during the game.
Speaker 3: That's the violence I'm gambling on.
Speaker 4: If you have the energy to fight after that means
Speaker 4: you didn't play hot enough.
Speaker 13: You're a dumb man with dumber takes. Look, this melee
Speaker 13: was fantastic. A football game turned into a UFC fight.
Speaker 3: That's incredible.
Speaker 13: More sports should be combined like this. Imagine an NBA
Speaker 13: game ending and then boom Lebron and Kevin Durant start
Speaker 13: competitive louging ooh and vote us. More sports equals less
Speaker 13: time with my family.
Speaker 4: Which brings us to our sig boom bang better than night.
Speaker 4: So when will Jordan Klipper finally learn the names of
Speaker 4: his three children? As Unways, this bet brought to you
Speaker 4: by gambling gambling.
Speaker 3: I think your mom has a money in a pus.
Speaker 13: Three children. That can't be right. Moving on to a
Speaker 13: trend in football that doesn't involve steroid induced violence, but
Speaker 13: still is all the rage.
Speaker 5: The celebration trend in the sports world, the Trump dance.
Speaker 5: Trump's double fist pump has been a rally stable for
Speaker 5: years now, but now the dance jumping from rallies to sports.
Speaker 5: US soccer star Christian Hoolisige busted out the move. Pro
Speaker 5: football players hitting the Trump dance after big plays. Raiders
Speaker 5: Ricky brock frowers in the end zone, Lions player za
Speaker 5: Darius Smith after getting a sack, Titans wide out Calvin
Speaker 5: Ridley celebrated with teammates after a long score, and UFC
Speaker 5: champ John Jones hitting the dance after knocking out his opponent.
Speaker 3: While Trump watched.
Speaker 4: Oh, just stop it with this, okay. I live by
Speaker 4: two rules. One I do not mix politics and sports.
Speaker 4: And two, if I'm watching porn and they start speaking Russian,
Speaker 4: I'm out. The least I can do to support Ukraine.
Speaker 13: Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie, you know I support your anti war.
Speaker 13: Jack Sessions totally supports, but you're done wrong here. We
Speaker 13: need more politics in sports. Liberal athletes can do this too.
Speaker 13: You score a touchdown and then you hit that Joe Biden,
Speaker 13: who's gonna hate on that?
Speaker 3: I hate it?
Speaker 4: Okay, we need to keep politics out sports. Sunday is
Speaker 4: for drinking eight beers and watching football, drinking eight beers
Speaker 4: and watching Rachel Maddow that's a Monday thing.
Speaker 1: You're a Monday thing.
Speaker 3: I'm a Thursday thing.
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, the best I could do is Wednesday thing.
Speaker 3: Deal.
Speaker 13: Look, my point still stands, Ronnie. There should be more
Speaker 13: politics in sports. NHL goalie should be senators and the
Speaker 13: slam dunk contest should be all Supreme Court justices, which
Speaker 13: brings us to my big baller bets bonanza to.
Speaker 3: My own signature.
Speaker 4: Don't be called as always brought to you by gambling.
Speaker 4: Gambling you need something to do alone in your car?
Speaker 3: Oh right, moving on, Ronnie.
Speaker 13: As you know, it's not just football season, it's also
Speaker 13: the holiday season.
Speaker 3: Merry Christmas, Jordan to you.
Speaker 13: I wish you a happy Buddhism Day.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's called Asian Christmas, Thank you very much.
Speaker 13: Point being this year, there's a new movie that combines
Speaker 13: the best of both seasons.
Speaker 14: Hallmark is making history for the upcoming holiday season with
Speaker 14: their new film Holiday Touchdown, a Chiefs love story. This
Speaker 14: marks the first time the company has collaborated with the
Speaker 14: NFL and the defending Super Bowl champions. The Kansas City
Speaker 14: Chiefs are the true stars of the story.
Speaker 2: Viewers should keep an eye on for some cameos from
Speaker 2: Chiefs players and some well known faces.
Speaker 3: Boo, I hate this trend.
Speaker 13: Athletes should play sports and actors should act.
Speaker 3: Except OJ Simpson.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: He could do both.
Speaker 13: That guy killed it at everything.
Speaker 3: Okay, wrong again?
Speaker 4: Hepatitis gonna be Okay, we need more football players in movies.
Speaker 4: I mean, just imagine Gronk in twelve years of Slaves. Okay,
Speaker 4: never too soon for reboot.
Speaker 13: Ronnie, you don't understand. These football players are moving into
Speaker 13: our territory. They're trying to plant their flag in our
Speaker 13: TV industry, and we.
Speaker 3: Have to fight them.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well I'm not fighting along, Si you Okay, when
Speaker 4: you work out dress Bond, you.
Speaker 13: Know what, they politely asked me to stop working out
Speaker 13: there years ago. I'll have you know I do a
Speaker 13: high intensity circuit workout designed specifically for elderly lesbians.
Speaker 4: Which brings us to my badass bingo bomb bet of
Speaker 4: the Evening, which elderly lesbian good kid going to Clipper's
Speaker 4: ass as always brought to you by gambling gambling savings
Speaker 4: accounts off for pusses.
Speaker 3: Well that's all for this week.
Speaker 13: Sports War joined us next week when we debate should
Speaker 13: NFL teams get one smoke grenade per game.
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously, I think they should get one per half,
Speaker 4: like a challenge flat.
Speaker 13: That's too much smoke grenade.
Speaker 3: No, no, no touching, it's too much. Welcome back to Dad.
Speaker 1: We shall all right.
Speaker 4: My guest, Denight is a renowned astro physicist and author
Speaker 4: whose latest book is called Merlin's Toward the Universe.
Speaker 3: Please welcome the great Neil de grass Tyson.
Speaker 4: It's almost fun your show, Yes, beloved, thanks for coming on.
Speaker 3: So great to meet you.
Speaker 1: Thank you, man, And that is why I never met
Speaker 1: you before.
Speaker 3: Before I watched you for years.
Speaker 1: Aye.
Speaker 3: Father.
Speaker 1: I loved you in the movie Megan, by the way,
Speaker 1: that terrified me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, please watch that movie as many times as you can.
Speaker 3: How's my contracting too show?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 4: This.
Speaker 3: I loved your book as well.
Speaker 1: Your new book, Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 3: It's a republishing of Q and A's that you got.
Speaker 1: Brought into the twenty first century, into for a.
Speaker 4: Century, and so it's written in terms of the format
Speaker 4: is kind of short questions and you kind of give answers.
Speaker 4: And this was done over the course of last what thirty.
Speaker 1: Well that was done thirty five years ago, but I
Speaker 1: brought it into the twenty first century. Yes, my brother illustrated.
Speaker 3: Yes, your brother artist. I want to get into that.
Speaker 1: He actually went to the High School of Music and
Speaker 1: Art here at New York City.
Speaker 3: There you go family.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and science and yeah what I What I love
Speaker 4: about this book is like it's almost written like poetry
Speaker 4: the science questions in terms of like you know, every
Speaker 4: page is a distinct.
Speaker 1: Yes, thanks for noticing that every attempt to reply to
Speaker 1: people has its own personality, in its own flavor.
Speaker 4: But it's almost like reading a Bukowski book because you know,
Speaker 4: because you can just have it on your desk and
Speaker 4: you flip it open and you get some inspiration from
Speaker 4: how dumb people are?
Speaker 3: Right, like this was written thirty five years ago.
Speaker 4: You know, well, I shouldn't say done some goood questions
Speaker 4: how effective with the Hubble Space telescope for viewing abah
Speaker 4: blah black Houston, Texas? But yeah, I guess my point
Speaker 4: like this was, where in thirty five years ago have
Speaker 4: you found, like the general public's questions, you have gotten
Speaker 4: dumber or smarter?
Speaker 3: Like where where are we trending? Where are we trending?
Speaker 1: I see both happening simultaneously. No, Yeah, the smart question
Speaker 1: is getting smarter and the dumb question getting dumb. But
Speaker 1: I don't care. As an educator, you bring the question on.
Speaker 3: Okay, So even even in science it's we're going to extremes.
Speaker 1: But I'm okay on either side of that.
Speaker 3: Fance mathematically cancels out there.
Speaker 1: Yes, they average out to the middle.
Speaker 15: Very good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, take the average.
Speaker 1: Take the average.
Speaker 3: It works out. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, I you know, I hate to be I'm
Speaker 4: trying to phrase these questions neutrally, but it sounds sometimes.
Speaker 4: It feels sometimes like when as an outsider to America,
Speaker 4: I came here, I was thirty and growing up, I
Speaker 4: always felt like this was the place for innovations. Where
Speaker 4: NASA was, is where they invented the Internet, they invented Apple,
Speaker 4: This is where oil drillers went to space and blew
Speaker 4: up an asteroid using nucle weapons.
Speaker 1: That actually happened.
Speaker 4: Yeah no, So for me, like America was always the
Speaker 4: place you go when you're.
Speaker 3: The best at science, you know.
Speaker 4: And do you feel like the politics is kind of
Speaker 4: getting a way of that now into like do people
Speaker 4: I want to come here?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 1: You know, so politics people can say what they want
Speaker 1: when they're running for office. What matters is how do
Speaker 1: you allocate money when the budget gets gets put out
Speaker 1: and I can say, you know, no, we don't have
Speaker 1: another equation like equals mc squared. You know that was
Speaker 1: that was good back.
Speaker 4: No, that was a hit single. That was a hit single.
Speaker 4: They kill yeah, I killed it with equal.
Speaker 1: In nineteen oh five. He knocked the all right out
Speaker 1: of the park. So, but but there's not just science.
Speaker 1: There's the engineering that flows out of that science. This
Speaker 1: is the this is the cousin of science that is
Speaker 1: empowered by science. So so you've seen pictures from the
Speaker 1: from the James Web Space telescope ran the edge of
Speaker 1: the universe to the front of your face. Yes, putting
Speaker 1: it in your backyard. Yes, that's been happening. You've seen
Speaker 1: Elon Musch chopstick a booster out of the sky to
Speaker 1: reuse later. Okay, that's we've never seen that before. We
Speaker 1: have a rover on Mars the size of an suv
Speaker 1: that brought a helicopter with it. Yes, okay, so what
Speaker 1: are you complaining about?
Speaker 3: Wait, no, no, no, I'm sorry, doctor.
Speaker 1: All right, right right, one more? I got one more?
Speaker 1: One more? Was it? Two weeks ago? Three weeks ago
Speaker 1: National launched the Europa Clipper mission to go orbit Jupiter
Speaker 1: and dip close to the frozen surface of Jupiter's moon
Speaker 1: Europa and search for life in that in that moon. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it touched and touched euro Bus moon.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But uh no, But I do like, doctor, what are
Speaker 4: you trying to tell me that.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell you. No, this stuff is still
Speaker 1: going down.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, it sounds like you're trying to convince me
Speaker 4: that science is good. I don't disagree. I agree science
Speaker 4: is good. I'm just asking, in your expert opinion, do
Speaker 4: you think that the kind of divisive politics will face
Speaker 4: right now is adverse to American innovation and scientific development.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it can be that I don't see
Speaker 1: important evidence of it.
Speaker 3: None of this, None of this bothers you, none of anything.
Speaker 1: That's a different question.
Speaker 3: You haven't seen anything that bothers me, different question.
Speaker 1: That is the question I'm.
Speaker 4: Asking, Does anything bother you in the last I don't know.
Speaker 4: Maybe year of presidential elections that makes you think that
Speaker 4: maybe science is in trouble.
Speaker 1: So I worry, for example, that people get their science
Speaker 1: off of random places on the internet, off a clickbait,
Speaker 1: rather than looking at what this scientific establishment has has
Speaker 1: discovered for us. Sure, so you get someone on there
Speaker 1: and say the whole establishment is wrong, and I'm right,
Speaker 1: click here. It's irresistible.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what we do on this show.
Speaker 1: It's irresistible, very effective. And I'm thinking, no, science doesn't
Speaker 1: work that way. It works by you get enough observations
Speaker 1: and data and if it comes to agreement, that's the
Speaker 1: new objective truth. It's not one loan person that said,
Speaker 1: whatever the hell.
Speaker 4: You want, doctor, I mean, right, doctor, so far I
Speaker 4: agree with you that science is good and the internet
Speaker 4: is stupid. I'm asking, are you worried about where we're
Speaker 4: hitted in terms of because America is always the leader?
Speaker 4: To me, I know that sern and whatever is happening, Okay,
Speaker 4: because saying America's the leader of science?
Speaker 1: Are you worried because because all of the House of
Speaker 1: Representatives gets voted on every two years, and a third
Speaker 1: of the Senate and the president gets voted on every
Speaker 1: four years. At any time that I feel depressed, I say,
Speaker 1: and this too shall pad.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's not helpful. So that's yo, that's Buddhism. That's
Speaker 3: Buddhism for science.
Speaker 4: You're the science guy, Buddhism is my thing. You're the
Speaker 4: science guy. You get a science Okay, Okay, Well here's
Speaker 4: I guess.
Speaker 3: I'll play more.
Speaker 1: Here's what'll happen. Okay. If our science goes goes bad, Okay,
Speaker 1: and other countries rise up, then we all come together
Speaker 1: and say we don't want to be vested by these
Speaker 1: other countries. And that would be a good reason to
Speaker 1: come together rather than targeting enemies within US.
Speaker 3: Okay, that is good.
Speaker 4: But if you have faith that that will happen, I mean, okay,
Speaker 4: put this way, because like, you know what, one thing
Speaker 4: that was always what I'm getting at this whole questioning
Speaker 4: is that the innovation America seems to me driven a
Speaker 4: lot by immigrants to America. Immigrants invented the phone, invented
Speaker 4: Einstein was an immigrant.
Speaker 3: Everyone's immigrants.
Speaker 4: So so that's okay, Well, maybe that's all great, But
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, if you have an environment that's that's
Speaker 4: that's kind of saying, hey, country, for us, let's not
Speaker 4: have so much immigrations.
Speaker 1: Third of all Nobel prizes in the sciences that have
Speaker 1: gone to Americans have gone to immigrants one third. Okay.
Speaker 1: I tracked that every year great, So I know that number. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I've never been spooked by immigrants the way so
Speaker 1: many others have.
Speaker 3: You worried about. Again, we agree immigrants are good for science.
Speaker 1: Are you worried if you closed, if you, if you
Speaker 1: if you start closing things off, we will descend and
Speaker 1: become a shadow of what we once were as a
Speaker 1: technological power in this country. So it may be not
Speaker 1: to make you depressed. It may be we need to
Speaker 1: sink deeper before people wake up to the consequences of
Speaker 1: these actions or the consequences of the inactions when they
Speaker 1: should have taken that. Like, we may have to sink
Speaker 1: deeper before we just get slapped in the face and said,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, bring the science back.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's bad. This is bad.
Speaker 4: This is a this is you're describing a doc age
Speaker 4: right now, which I was hoping what not happened? But
Speaker 4: I guess I gotta turn to Buddhism to get out.
Speaker 1: Right. So I think that's Persian and this too shall pass.
Speaker 4: I'll Buddha will claim it. We'll give you that one
Speaker 4: to Buddha. Yeah, But like there is like this idea
Speaker 4: that I feel like anytime I see you explaining something
Speaker 4: about science in America right now, it's like people just
Speaker 4: want to argue, like pull you into this culture war
Speaker 4: and and and you know what, To be fair, I
Speaker 4: guess if you look at history, scientists have always been
Speaker 4: pulled into politics in the culture war. But you as
Speaker 4: like a kind of front facing member of the science
Speaker 4: community trying to educate people.
Speaker 3: How do you navigate this?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard because because another thing is clickbait? Is it?
Speaker 1: He said? She said? He said? You said that? Comment
Speaker 1: on what they said. No, I'd rather comment than ideas
Speaker 1: and and and mission statements of what we can be
Speaker 1: as a species, as a nation, as a as anty,
Speaker 1: you know, as as a world. And so I try
Speaker 1: to avoid it, but sometimes they just drag it down,
Speaker 1: drag into the trenches. And I can fight in the trenches,
Speaker 1: you know, but I can fight for I don't want to.
Speaker 1: I don't want to.
Speaker 3: So what's kick some ass?
Speaker 1: And we have to know.
Speaker 3: There's always I was fun.
Speaker 1: You got that, you got the other equation that preceded
Speaker 1: equals MC squared. But no, I was a captain and
Speaker 1: undefeated of my high school's wrestling team as it was
Speaker 1: pounds ago. But I can I'm still feeling.
Speaker 4: Okay, well that's exactly where you need right now. We
Speaker 4: need digressed Tyson to.
Speaker 3: Be some assholes.
Speaker 1: Cage match.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, So like I guess your advice is to
Speaker 4: beat the shit out people. That's not I don't know
Speaker 4: what you know what what can the science community?
Speaker 1: No, you can do it with love by offering them
Speaker 1: perspectives they had never previously recognized was in front of them.
Speaker 1: And you say, have you thought about it this way
Speaker 1: or that way? I hadn't thought about it that way,
Speaker 1: and let's go have a beer.
Speaker 3: Yeah. That sounds like every interaction on the internet.
Speaker 1: The Internet, the Internet is a cesspool, has become a cesspool,
Speaker 1: and I'm very disappointed.
Speaker 3: So bad science bad on that one Internet.
Speaker 1: There's some good science that that happens there. But but yeah,
Speaker 1: as an invention, we all thought we would just be
Speaker 1: the community town hall. And it's just it's it's successful.
Speaker 1: Get off this.
Speaker 3: I h so on a more helpful note, I feel
Speaker 3: like like, thank.
Speaker 1: You having a more helpful note.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm trying so far.
Speaker 4: It has not been out the world right now, but
Speaker 4: Internet sucks and we're going to go into docade just
Speaker 4: kind of message this like we I feel like, you know,
Speaker 4: we used to review scientists a bit more in America,
Speaker 4: you know, and like when when I get I think
Speaker 4: what we need from scientists right now is like a
Speaker 4: hit single. What you said you need another like an
Speaker 4: equals mc square, Like we give us a give us.
Speaker 3: Something to be likes come around all the time. Well,
Speaker 3: you know that's what we need. We need something. Give
Speaker 3: us something, Give us something.
Speaker 1: Einstein was like two hundred years, three hundred years after
Speaker 1: Isaac Newton, and they're big, you know, big mental.
Speaker 3: So what we got two hundred and fifty years to
Speaker 3: the next. What's the what's what's the Give us something
Speaker 3: maybe I don't know. Give me the equation, something that
Speaker 3: we can hold on to as a society. Equation I want,
Speaker 3: like a hit.
Speaker 4: Single, Come on, give us the give us the club beat,
Speaker 4: give us the commercial. Something that sciences, you know, quantum mechanics,
Speaker 4: fit something, computers.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll boil it down to one word. Okay, maybe.
Speaker 3: I hated, maybe Einstein hated.
Speaker 1: Maybe I know what it may be every now and
Speaker 1: then because you don't know the answer, but you're hopeful
Speaker 1: for one that will satisfy not only you but the
Speaker 1: survival of the species.
Speaker 3: So maybe it is kind of depressing that that's not
Speaker 3: they hit single I was hoping for.
Speaker 1: There are people who are paying attention. I think.
Speaker 3: People.
Speaker 1: No, there's there's a few. There's a few out there.
Speaker 3: Name one person paying attention.
Speaker 1: Name. I feel like in the scientific institutions that we
Speaker 1: have National Institutes of Health, National Academy of Sciences. I
Speaker 1: get that. But leaders come and go. The scientists are
Speaker 1: there for their careers. Okay, in the end, they is
Speaker 1: who will triumph. I hope.
Speaker 3: So, I hope so.
Speaker 1: Laxative or something I.
Speaker 3: Actually do. Do you know the chemical formula relaxative?
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonna ask you a few questions on the
Speaker 4: internet right now and in the spirit of your book,
Speaker 4: and you can answer that. Here's a here's a friendly internet. Okay.
Speaker 4: Our first question comes from Twitter? Can win term? Can win?
Speaker 4: Turbines cause cancer? This is from President Trump?
Speaker 15: Okay, science, man, science?
Speaker 1: That would that would be no?
Speaker 3: Okay, you sure about that? Maybe it's that like a maybe,
Speaker 3: not just no. That's a no.
Speaker 1: You gotta get down that one. That's that's all equals
Speaker 1: and all the things you want to worry about. Cant sir,
Speaker 1: This should be last on that list, not even on
Speaker 1: the list at all, not on the.
Speaker 3: List at all.
Speaker 1: Okays correct? Okay.
Speaker 3: A second question is also comes from Twitter. Why can't
Speaker 3: we drink raw milk?
Speaker 4: This is from RFK incoming incoming president of health.
Speaker 1: Okay, has he ever seen microbes that could be thriving
Speaker 1: in raw milk under a microscope?
Speaker 3: Sky seen any this guy? Yeah?
Speaker 1: If you, if you, somebody should invite him to see
Speaker 1: what's going on there under a microscope. He might, he
Speaker 1: might feel different.
Speaker 3: So what you answer? Can you drink raw milk or not?
Speaker 3: Can we just unambiguously you can.
Speaker 1: Drink anything that's liquid, it's just whether you care.
Speaker 3: Don't you die?
Speaker 1: Then? Yes, you can drink anything.
Speaker 3: No, don't say that. This is on the watching Scott,
Speaker 3: don't say that. Don't you could drink bleach?
Speaker 1: You can drink any of that, you will die, Okay.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if you want to esophagus when you're done,
Speaker 1: don't drink beat bleach. Okay.
Speaker 3: I feel like we're going from chemistry to Darwinism right now.
Speaker 1: But there's the Darward you know what the darna.
Speaker 3: I do know what you I do know what it is. Yes,
Speaker 3: it's people who drink bleach.
Speaker 1: People something completely stupid that kills themselves before they have children. Yes,
Speaker 1: so that they're removed from the gene pool.
Speaker 3: Applaud that. Let's applaud that in all hands.
Speaker 1: For legal reasons, we can publicly.
Speaker 3: Okay, I got two more for you, for me more, okay.
Speaker 4: Is the pill that can reverse the effects of the
Speaker 4: COVID nineteen vaccine. This is from Nomini for FBI Director
Speaker 4: Cash Betel.
Speaker 1: Wow, a pill that will remove the effects.
Speaker 4: Reverse the effects of the COVID nineteen, reverse the vaccine.
Speaker 1: Like, why would why would you want to do that?
Speaker 3: Dude? Hey man, I'm just asking the merchant that you
Speaker 3: do that so that you can die from the virus.
Speaker 3: I gets.
Speaker 1: Look, this is a free country. If that's what they
Speaker 1: want to do, I don't know that we can stop them.
Speaker 3: But that pill is the answer to science.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay. If such a pill exists, I know.
Speaker 3: Nothing of it, so it might exist. It might exist.
Speaker 1: That's not what I said.
Speaker 3: That's kind of what I said.
Speaker 4: That's kind of what you said. Okay, last last, give
Speaker 4: me one more here, all right? Also from the internet.
Speaker 4: Can the government manipulate the weather with Jewish space lasers.
Speaker 4: This is from anonymous congress woman. This is more in
Speaker 4: your realm astrophysics. This is what are the physics of
Speaker 4: Jewish space lasers? That does like the style I focus
Speaker 4: the thing. Okay, the prism of.
Speaker 1: Uh, A laser will function as lasers do, no matter
Speaker 1: the religion of who invokes it.
Speaker 3: You know, the more the more you speak, the more
Speaker 3: is like you're more like a Buddhist dead master colon
Speaker 3: than scientists. Here.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, when you turn on a laser the
Speaker 1: religion of the person, it doesn't matter, Okay, Okay. B
Speaker 1: To worry that a space laser could affect the weather
Speaker 1: while we are simultaneously pumping CO two into the atmosphere,
Speaker 1: possibly irreversibly changing the weather seems to me to be
Speaker 1: a completely misguided, misprioritized sense of the world.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's yo answer. No, the answer is no, no, no,
Speaker 3: just say that to the Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, okay, no, no, no, okay, Well look you can
Speaker 4: follow you can get his book.
Speaker 3: But really, I mean, what a treasure that we have
Speaker 3: alive around When doctor Tyson said educated us, hey, well
Speaker 3: for the universe is avail? Now, Doctor Neil Degrass heard
Speaker 3: said I gotta pick a quick Greg, I'll be right
Speaker 3: back after day.
