Yeh see, people who have 104 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: a background in hockey or skating, like when they get 105 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: out on a rink, like they're just something comes over them. 106 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: It's like it's like when you say a bird that 107 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: really enjoys flying and they're just like, you know, it's 108 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: just like yo, they really like they do.

I was a frail, young, mushroom haircut at 118 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: Pakistani teenager, so I wasn't really gonna be playing hockey, 119 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: but I did. I tried to. I tried to like 120 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: collect the hockey pucks in the rink to like pretend 121 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: that you know, but come out here, yes again, are 122 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: you weight? But when you get on a ring, do 123 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: you ever do you have to get free? Like Jack's 124 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: talking by like I need to feel the wind on 125 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: my It's funny you mentioned that I didn't go for 126 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: a long time, and then I think maybe five years 127 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: ago might now partner my wife Lauren and I we went, uh, 128 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: you can you can skate like in downtown Boston at 129 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: like the outdoor frog pond in the winter. So I 130 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: did that once. And then there's also like a rank 131 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: by your house. And when you don't do it for 132 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: like twenty thirty years or whatever, like it requires some 133 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: balance and core strength and but it definitely came back 134 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: to me, like I was able to, like I think 135 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: that in that first hour, like start skating backwards and stuff. 136 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: And at the time there was actually like a group 137 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: of fifteen or sixteen year old whatever, like hockey's figure 138 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: skating stars doing all the like axles and ship like 139 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: all around us. So we were just trying to like hobble, 140 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: you know, like around the thing without falling. So did 141 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: it did come back to me, though, I like to 142 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: think my life that had taken a different turn. For sure. 143 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: I grew up playing hockey, and again I was just 144 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: a bizarre black and Asian kid in the late eighties 145 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: with a mushroom haircut, at a certain point. Okay, you 146 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: know was it was it a middle part? Oh? Hell yeah, 147 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: because it was like a surfer you know, because a 148 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: surfer do happened. But then my mom wouldn't take me 149 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: to get a haircut, so then that turned into some 150 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: other ship like after a few wants in no haircut. 151 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: But you know, with being on the ice, like every 152 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: time I go to like someone's like roller skating party 153 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: or like an ice skating party, half the time I 154 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: ignore everyone just to skate as hard as I can 155 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: when we're like, come on, little legs, you're not going 156 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: to do this yet.

We're going to 192 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: talk about Islamophobia and Washington d C. The Democrats seem 193 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: unclear on how to handle it. We're going to talk 194 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: about there's just this NBC news headline that I'm just 195 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: gonna read if Roe was gutted. Democrats are unlikely to 196 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 1: make it law, but they'll run on it, so I 197 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: just wanted to check in with that being the current 198 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: Democratic party. We're gonna talk about how San Francisco suspended 199 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: tax on cannabis to help dispense as compete with the 200 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: good old, old fashioned drug dealers. And we'll talk about 201 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: using Santa Claus to promote guns. It's been it's a 202 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: long and storied tradition, shockingly, so we will talk about that, 203 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: all of that and plenty more. But before we get 204 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: to any of that, Ship shah Jahan, we do like 205 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 1: to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? 206 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: You know? I guess I can give a shout out 207 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: to my a good friend of mine a rujaf Dab. 208 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: She's a Pakistani American singer who recently has been nominated 209 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 1: for two Grammys. So I just was I just was 210 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: googling her latest whatever, you know, Pitchfork something said about 211 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: her that was very nice. So yeah, I'm glad it's 212 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: not something more embarrassing, like the thing that I did 213 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,719 Speaker 1: right down was the overrated underrated. So I was like, 214 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: I was gonna say that raccoons are overrated because I 215 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: was having this argument with somebody yesterday. So I guess, like, 216 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: it's good that raccoons weren't in the search history. There 217 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: is what I'm trying to Yeah, it's it's I was 218 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: gonna say. It sounds like you were searching a fellow 219 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: internationally acclaimed recording artists, and I just you know, Miles 220 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: and I always talk about how like it's just good 221 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: to have someone else who's internationally acclaimed on because sometimes 222 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: we have a guest on who isn't internationally acclaimed like 223 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: Miles and I are, and it's a little awkward, especially 224 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 1: internationally acclaimed guests that are just like chilling in their parents, 225 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: ye know. But like, honestly, you could pass off the 226 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: background even though you are literally sitting with your back 227 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: to your parents. But you could pass off that background 228 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: as like a like fake background because it's the lighting. 229 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: I've got three lights, I've got the natural light from 230 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: the window. Take this ship seriously, absolutely. What is something 231 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: you think is overrated? So overrated? I was saying, I 232 00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: think raccoons because I was having this debate with some folks, 233 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: was it yesterday the day before, and they were trying 234 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: to tell me that raccoons are cute and they're just rodents, right, 235 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: the rodents with like little hands, and they're terrifying. So 236 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: I think I think raccoons are overrated. It's a very 237 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: new England appropriate the topic. Perhaps, I don't know. Do 238 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: you guys have raccoons? You must have raccoons? Oh yeah, 239 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: I see.

We'll be right back, and we're back, 375 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: and all right, let's talk quick Amicron update. The newest 376 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: flavor of the coronavirus is here. It is spreading rapidly. 377 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: We talked last week about how the thing that everybody's 378 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: keeping their eye on were the initial reports from the hospitals, 379 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: right because so we knew it spread very fast, like 380 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: faster than the delta variant, which spread faster than the 381 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: the original, and so the everybody was kind of watching 382 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: with beta breath to see what the what the initial 383 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: reports were from the hospitals, and you know, fortunately they 384 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: are following the path that we were hoping they would, 385 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: like where a lot of viruses evolved to become more 386 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 1: spread herble, but less like intense and less deadly because 387 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: that is actually better for the life of the virus 388 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: because if it doesn't knock you down or kill you, 389 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: then it's able to be passed on to more people. 390 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: So the initial findings were that it was very widespread 391 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: based on the wastewater sample, which is gross, but you know, 392 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: shout out to whoever did that work because it was crucial. 393 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: But now the hospitals are reporting that the hospitalization rates 394 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: are lower, the intensity and you know, length of stays 395 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: is shorter, fewer people are dying. There was a very 396 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: worrying report for especially for people with young children, that 397 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: it was spreading, like they were seeing way more pediatric 398 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 1: COVID units seeing patients. There's been no deaths in those 399 00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: pediatric units. So the initial indications are that it might 400 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: be a less intense strain, which is great news, but 401 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: also we're we're waiting to see because COVID has proven 402 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: to be unpredictable and brutal. There still needs to be 403 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: time to really fully see, like you know, how much 404 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: we see from hospitalization, that time it takes from infection 405 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: to hospitalization two then potentially death. But I mean, yeah, 406 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: I think most I think all the like epidemiologists are like, 407 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: it's what we're seeing is good. But I'm not saying 408 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: fucking relax yet, because at the end of the day, 409 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 1: the plan is going to be the same no matter 410 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: how bad this variant is, which is, be vaccinated and 411 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: do as much as you can to keep yourself safe. 412 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: And I think it's just you know, and I think 413 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: the big worry now is that even though we're talking 414 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: about O Macron, is that Delta is still the prevailing 415 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: variant that's infecting Americans as we go into the winter 416 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: and there's gonna be another surge and they're just saying, 417 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: don't keep your are down. Still it's still the same thing. 418 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: And you know, when you look at how much of 419 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: a percentage of Americans that are still unvaccinated, like that 420 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: still means millions of people as potential vectors and networks 421 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: for infection to keep happening. So yeah, still, yeah, ongoing, 422 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: but at least it's at least the first things aren't 423 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 1: just abject screams of horror coming out of these other places. Yeah, 424 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: I think that's where we're at, Like there are millions 425 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: of possible scenarios, many many, many, many of them were 426 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: very bad, and this suggests that it we might have 427 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: avoided some of the worst ones with this very specific variant. Right. Yeah, 428 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: the publicity around the omicron variant did seem to lead 429 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: to a spike in people seeking the vaccine. So if 430 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: we can keep that going. If you're somehow a listener 431 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: of this podcast and haven't gotten the vaccine yet, ignore 432 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: what we just said. Don't let that dissuade you go 433 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: get the vaccine. Yeah. Yeah, using anecdotal evidence in a 434 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: pandemic isn't the best analysis method that because I think 435 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,479 Speaker 1: a lot of people who are hesitant but would normally 436 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: do something that's good for their own safety will say 437 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 1: things like, well, the people I know, like, we're fine, 438 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: And that's not the point if they were fine, it's 439 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 1: to be able to stop infections from happening. And if 440 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: you are, and if you're vaccinated, then you can prevent 441 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: you know, the expanding infection rights. Yeah, it's killed more 442 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: Americans than every US war combined. Like that's like, so 443 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: to just try and get your head around that and 444 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 1: still not take it seriously. Yeah, but it's sad it's 445 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: still not gonna happen, you know, because there's even a 446 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: there was this recent study that happened that the United 447 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: the United States conservatives are the only group, only conservative 448 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: political group on Earth who isn't like actively fighting against 449 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: using masks. They're like, it's really strange, Like even you 450 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: go to other conservative like political parties in other countries, 451 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: they're not on like this, Like I'm not wearing no mask. 452 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: It's like a very uniquely American conservative thing. We have 453 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: a lot of uniquely American conservative problem. Yeah, let's talk 454 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: about another one, because I guess this isn't uniquely American. 455 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: But there has been a lot of Islamophobia lately in Congress. 456 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: Lauren Bobert's comments about ilhan Omar over the Thanksgiving break 457 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: have taken up a lot of attention. As you know, 458 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: Democrats are trying to figure out, like what what to 459 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: do do they cent your remover from committees by her 460 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: a pink a R. I listen. It's you know, it's like, 461 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: obviously I'm not just piping up because I'm like a 462 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: Muslim person, but like I you know, we've heard so 463 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: many of these kinds of things before, but like I 464 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: bound myself the other day in the car just playing 465 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: the message, you know, of like what whatever message was 466 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: sent to to ilhan Omar, and it was just like 467 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: it just made me really sad man that it was 468 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: like And also, you know, obviously because for the last 469 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: year I've been working on this show and stuff and 470 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: we have, like we talked about Islamophobia and stuff a lot, 471 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: but but yeah, it was just something about this one 472 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: in particular, rows like, you know, it's still it's like 473 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 1: still a thing. Yeah, and it's just so awful every 474 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: time and sometimes you you know, you get desensitized to it, 475 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,479 Speaker 1: but you know, every now and then it's just it's 476 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 1: just really kind of hits you there. Well, I think, 477 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: if anything, democrats have become desensitized to it because there's 478 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: a lot of like what do we what do we 479 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: doing about Lauren Boberg. I think the most rational people, 480 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 1: it's clear you address this bullshit and you do what 481 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: you have to to make her account for her recklessness 482 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: and her hate, her hateful words. That's what you do. 483 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: That's all it is, because that's that's that should be 484 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: everyone's response to hearing something like that is shutting it 485 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: the funk down rather than being like, well, you know, 486 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 1: I don't want to make martyrs out of them or whatever. 487 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 1: And you're hearing a lot of stuff from Democrats where 488 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: they're saying, like, you know, the big, big, big problem 489 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: here is they said they promised her italiate if and 490 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: when they regain control of the House, so like, we 491 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: gotta be real careful here. And there have been Congress 492 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: people who are like, that's the dumbest fucking excuse to 493 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: say we won't do what's right out of fear for 494 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: the reaction of the ignorant and small, like that's if 495 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: you're doing that, then what's the point of any kind 496 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: of leadership. And I think the other thing too, is 497 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: like the Democrats or the the g OP also knows 498 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: that keeping this kind of stuff in the headlines helps 499 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 1: to completely derail any kind of agenda, because every week 500 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: the headlines have to be talking about how racist or 501 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: hateful the GOP is this week, rather than like, hey, 502 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: we have huge problems with income, inequality, with access to healthcare, 503 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: with all these other things that should be getting American 504 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: people's attention to for them to have again, because we 505 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: have no imagination for anything to get people to realize 506 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: their potential benefits if you know, there are certain certain 507 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,719 Speaker 1: kinds of policies that can be passed. But yeah, at 508 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: the at the moment, they're calculus is we don't know 509 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: how they're going to respond. We're afraid that if they 510 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,959 Speaker 1: get power then they're going to use it against us, 511 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: or this idea that we can't give them more attention 512 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: to campaign off of. And I think what what's hard 513 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: is some Democrats, like I'm saying, have become desensitized because 514 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: one of them said that, you know, I don't know 515 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: if we need to be removing her from committee assignments. 516 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: He said, For me, the line for censure is if 517 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: you're fomenting political violence. And I think the voicemail that 518 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: ilhan Omar play is pretty clear what has happened just 519 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: in general Lauren Boebert or not just a general tone 520 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: of like the low hum of islamaphobia that's in the 521 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,239 Speaker 1: background of the country, that it is causing this kind 522 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: of stuff. So it's and then like they pivot to 523 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: things like this. One said, it just needs to become 524 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: a campaign issue in the mid terms. Just to point 525 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: across the island, say, Americans, do you feel like this 526 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: conference is ready to govern. That's an actual congressman saying 527 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: that the strategy just to be, like we have joked 528 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: about this, just gesturing across the aisle as a as 529 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: a campaign platform rather than leading, rather than introducing ideas 530 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: or trying to create something you know, tangible. Yeah, I 531 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: mean that's it's just an interesting to think about the 532 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: Conservative Party in America being unique and what has allowed 533 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: them to be unique. And I think it's the lack 534 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: of an option that is holding them accountable, right, Like 535 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: they just control the entire agenda while the Democrats are 536 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: happy to kind of eat off of them, you know, 537 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: like just run as the not the Republicans option, and 538 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: it's literally killing people. Yeah, it's like using this thing 539 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: in your mind comparatively where you're like, well, at least 540 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: I'm not the worst student in class. Yeah, and when 541 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: there are only two students in class like that, that's 542 00:30:54,520 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 1: a very yeah. But that's like, yeah, I get a 543 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: d S, but this dude, these and fs more f 544 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: than these, so both for me, Yeah, that's not gonna 545 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: do anything. And I think that's what's really just looks 546 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: really sad because you have a lot of members of 547 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: Congress like Rashida Talib, who is also a Muslim, and 548 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: saying you they've said they're gonna if they regained control, 549 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: they do want a strip committee assignments for me because 550 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: I don't back down from ship and she said, I'd 551 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: rather get pulled from committee assignments and shut up because 552 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. And yet you still have a 553 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: lot of Democratic leadership that's not really coming out here 554 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: being unequivocal about how they are going to address this, 555 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: and it just, you know, it makes you sad because 556 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,959 Speaker 1: you're sitting on the sidelines while someone's out here clearly 557 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: articulating hate speech about another member of Congress. And I 558 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: mean we our next story is basically the exact same story, 559 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: but with regards to Row like Rose on the verge 560 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 1: of being gutted under a government with a democratically controlled 561 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: Congress and White House, what's happened? I mean, I'm just 562 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: I'm so used to saying the full Trinity of Congress 563 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: just to keep showing them how much stay control got 564 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: the j the Senate. Yeah yeah, And like you know, 565 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: I guess you could argue the managers basically a fake 566 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: Democrat and so they don't have the Senate. But you know, 567 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: Collins has said she supports encoding Row's law, but we're 568 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: not hearing about plans to work with her to filibuster 569 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: to protect Row. They are instead talking about letting them 570 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: gut Row and then letting people die and then running 571 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: on that. That is the strategy. You know, people will 572 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: die because this it is wildly unpopular politically to gut Row, 573 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: but they will not do the thing that they could 574 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: be fighting to do because it's too good for fundraising. 575 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: But it's the thing, I don't know if it is right. 576 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: It's I mean, I know that on a on a 577 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: like a sensational level, like it's you can be like, 578 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: we gotta do something, but more like more and more 579 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: people are getting very frustrated to to say like, well, 580 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: what are you doing? Rather than just saying like they're 581 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: gonna go Roe v. Wade. We're controlling both chambers kind 582 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: of and the White House? What are we gonna do? 583 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: And it's it's I don't, I don't know, like it's 584 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: just more disheartening, I guess for me, but I'm I'm 585 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: maybe more I'm I know, I'm more politically engaged than 586 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: the average person. But to see that and to try 587 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: and trade off of that seems like not the best 588 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: way to demonstrate like why you're going to like lead 589 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: things well without at least showing some effort to do 590 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: that first. Like it almost seems like we'll just throw 591 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: our hands up and then campaign off of that because 592 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: it is bad. But let's not. Let's not it's not 593 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: put it in people's minds that we might be able 594 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: to do something about it. Yeah, you know, Like and 595 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: also just like and this, like the last stories about 596 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: are like islamophobia in this country, and this one was 597 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: just about patriarchy and misogyny and like uncompletely unable to 598 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: even like articulate that. In the coverage around all of this, 599 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: it's very just turned into horse race talk again, like 600 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: on the news. Yeah. No, I think the Democratic Party 601 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: is like in a death spiral. I think the Democratic 602 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: Party is in the worst shape it's ever been in. 603 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 1: I truly do. I believe that while they have the 604 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:25,399 Speaker 1: president and both houses of Congress, because like they ran 605 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: as much as they could on like being the alternative, 606 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: and now they're the alternative, they're not doing anything other 607 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: than gesturing to the other side. Like people can't ignore that. 608 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 1: And I think they're just locked into this losing strategy 609 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: because because that's how the people who are in power 610 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,280 Speaker 1: came to power. That's all they know. And there's also 611 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: this buffer of an entire industry of political strategists and 612 00:34:53,800 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 1: political advisors who are based on understanding like fundraise, ng 613 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: and all this bullshit. So they are entrenched and they 614 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 1: are a hive mind of really intelligent people working to 615 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 1: make sure that the politicians the Democratic Party doesn't realize 616 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: this and doesn't doesn't like understand the danger of like 617 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: this current strategy. Mhm. So yeah, like just you know, 618 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: just like how Republicans they've they have like an evolved, 619 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: accelerated evolution because they're doubling down on like their worst thing, 620 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: which is just like hate, you know, like at the 621 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: end of the day, like that's what it was all about. 622 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: And with a lot of Democrats, their whole thing has 623 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 1: been not really solving shit ever, so doubling down on 624 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: that is just leading to like more this like diffuse, 625 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 1: weird confused, Like where's the line with islamaphobia? Where's the 626 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: line with reproductive rights or human rights and things like that, 627 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 1: And they're just fighting like they're then they scratch their 628 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 1: heads looking at polling numbers just like crater, rather than 629 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: knowing that there's like an omni like there's that we're 630 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: experiencing an omni crisis, just sucking pick one thing to 631 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: start doing to lead people be like, hey, that's doing something. 632 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: Whoa wait a second, Yeah the hell is this guy 633 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: talking about? Yeah, some reason, I just had a flashback 634 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: to um, the first season of Handmaid's Tale, you know 635 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: which part part of it like takes place in Massachusetts also, 636 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: but just kind of like watching that and thinking about, 637 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,359 Speaker 1: you know, knowing that these things have been in place 638 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: for so long that there's been you know, little efforts 639 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 1: to chip away with this kind of stuff, and seeing 640 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 1: it in a way like come to life, like you 641 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,919 Speaker 1: guys said before, very ises not the greatest feeling. Yeah, 642 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: And it makes you feel really uneasy when you have 643 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: a supposed party who's like, you know, oppositionally or maybe 644 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: logically opposed to it, and they're just watching the tidal 645 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,800 Speaker 1: wave of come in and like not even saying anything, 646 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: and like, because you know, I think traditionally it's been 647 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 1: like the party of like the good and the right, 648 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 1: or at least the party of like not upsetting the 649 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 1: dinner table with a hot and then unfortunately, we're in 650 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: the worst situation where we need people to speak up 651 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 1: and it's just crickets. And I think that's why The 652 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: Atlantic this week is like put out a huge sort 653 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaker 1: of series of articles about like, hello, fucking democracy is 654 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: about to get just skull fucked by the amount of 655 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,320 Speaker 1: partisans that are being put into electoral board positions for 656 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: the Republicans to be able to do their very like 657 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 1: clearly articulated plan, which is to negate election results that 658 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 1: they don't like. And like Joe Biden has been like, 659 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:39,839 Speaker 1: oh man, that's a that's that's scary, Like what, Yeah, 660 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought up the himaids. We we talked 661 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 1: about that, particularly Season one a lot, because that's the 662 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: season that's actually based on the Margaret Atwood book. And 663 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 1: that book is a collage of details from historical like 664 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,360 Speaker 1: society's how history goal societies have oppressed women. It's not 665 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: it's not like far fetched imagining. She's said, like, no, 666 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 1: I just did research on how history has done this 667 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 1: and use that to build a scenario and North America 668 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,880 Speaker 1: basically yeah, no, I I mean my I think the 669 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: thing I liked the most about it was the the 670 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 1: three kind of time periods that they were sort of 671 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: seamlessly going between, you know, as far as like yeah, 672 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 1: this is what ship was like before, right before she 673 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 1: got like really fucked up, and now we're here in 674 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 1: the president and yeah, yeah, and it's like yeah, it's 675 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 1: like not that far from where we're at. Yeah, it's 676 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,280 Speaker 1: really I don't know, it's weird that like I wouldn't 677 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: feel it was like, well, they were clothes that are 678 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 1: different than how we actually that it just goes over 679 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 1: like noah, okay, so we can't even do metaphors or 680 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 1: like very heavy handed ones for people to sort of 681 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: get the picture. Yeah, but again, I mean like that's 682 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: why it's we keep finding ourselves in a position where 683 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,839 Speaker 1: a lot of people are like this is bad. Why 684 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 1: aren't people doing something about it? And rather than just 685 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: letting it end there, I think you should look at 686 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,840 Speaker 1: this data to say, there's gonna come a time and 687 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 1: for most people, there already is a time where you're 688 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 1: going to have to rely on other people that you 689 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,760 Speaker 1: may have to be a person to provide assistance to someone, 690 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,840 Speaker 1: to uplift them or give them offer them safety. Because 691 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,440 Speaker 1: as it looks like legislatively speaking, there isn't much to 692 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: protect people indeed, And I think that's I think that's 693 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 1: another scary realization people I don't want to make, is 694 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: that there there is a lot more of like relying 695 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 1: on each other that we're gonna have to be doing. Yeah, 696 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 1: like for anybody who's of the just vote, like variety 697 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: of Democrats are liberals, Like this is why I think 698 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 1: people are frustrated with that with that answer like that 699 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: that doesn't make sense anymore because we did that how 700 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 1: many times in a rown. Yeah, all right, let's take 701 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 1: a quick break and we'll come back. Can talk about 702 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 1: weed a and we're back in San Francisco has announced 703 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 1: that they're spending attacks on cannabis to help dispensaries compete 704 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: with drug dealers, which Miles you like, we'd read, yeah, yeah, 705 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 1: accord it. So I don't know, I find this interesting, 706 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:36,320 Speaker 1: like because it's the you know, unofficial black market putting 707 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:40,959 Speaker 1: pricing pressures on like the official market. And I feel 708 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 1: like that's happening more and more. Like we saw the 709 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,840 Speaker 1: like stunks subreddit caused like big swings on Wall Street, 710 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 1: which isn't exactly the same, but like, I don't know, 711 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 1: it has the similar like unofficial moving the official. And 712 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,279 Speaker 1: it also made me think of that. I saw a 713 00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 1: sign on like the side of a road which is, 714 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: you know, that's where we're getting our news from this 715 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,400 Speaker 1: uh second rate podcast, so just just in case, but 716 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 1: it was like, you know, how miles in l A. 717 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 1: There's like the signs of like phone number and it's 718 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,879 Speaker 1: like for houses for cash, buy houses for cash, I'll 719 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,399 Speaker 1: help you put up your Christmas lights, and like it's 720 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,800 Speaker 1: just a big phone number. I'm starting to see ones 721 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,480 Speaker 1: that say they will give you cash for diabetes testing strips. Oh, 722 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: I've definitely seen a bunch of those where I'm at too. Yeah, 723 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: I can think of one in particular at this in Revere, 724 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 1: Revere mess right on the road either yeah, because they're 725 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 1: you know cheap to people with some insurance or you know, 726 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: cheaper and then criminally expensive to people without. And it 727 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:49,560 Speaker 1: seems like the black market is taking advantage or like 728 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 1: you know, filling that need right. So, I don't know, 729 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 1: this is more of like a zeke gang. Be be 730 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,279 Speaker 1: interesting to hear about other examples of that happening, because 731 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 1: I feel like it's going to be happening more and 732 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:05,279 Speaker 1: more as you know, financial inequality continues to expand, and 733 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: like the corporate world and you know, their governmental benefactors 734 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,839 Speaker 1: or employees, I guess get more and more out of touch, 735 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: like black markets will contain to play a more and 736 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 1: more important role. It feels like because like a lot 737 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 1: of these like I know they say they're trying to 738 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 1: compete with like illegal drug dealers or like illegal cannabis businesses, 739 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,280 Speaker 1: which they have those all over California. Those are typically 740 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 1: spots that are going you know, extra legally, not regulated 741 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: and aren't collecting taxes, so they're usually way cheaper than 742 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 1: like the flashy like med men dispensary that looks like 743 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,200 Speaker 1: an apple store, because you know, at the end of 744 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 1: the day, when you add all those taxes up, it's 745 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 1: almost like, wait, weed is more expensive than when I 746 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,239 Speaker 1: was like just buying it from someone else. I mean, 747 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 1: the packaging is wonderful, but I know that also to 748 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,360 Speaker 1: to grow legally, I mean there's a lot of bureaucratic 749 00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,239 Speaker 1: loopholes and and fees and licenses to pay or that 750 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 1: keep a lot of like sort of old old school 751 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,799 Speaker 1: growers who are creating like helping the illegal market. If 752 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,320 Speaker 1: it's it's not helping them transition to a llegal business, 753 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 1: so you're going to have these other things because people 754 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,759 Speaker 1: are like priced out of doing business legally. And then 755 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 1: on top of it, you see that you know there's 756 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,879 Speaker 1: a cheaper product. Yeah, it's uh, it's it's like it's 757 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 1: a very familiar thing that I think a lot of people, 758 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 1: especially in l A, like buying legal weed for the 759 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,239 Speaker 1: first time. Like it's like really expensive. Yeah, I've heard 760 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 1: that so many from people. Yeah and yeah, and I mean, 761 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 1: but it's funny this this this story is being used 762 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 1: in so many different ways, Like on Fox News, they're 763 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,920 Speaker 1: like San Francisco's like the weed robberies are so out 764 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 1: of control. They gotta stop their cannabis tacks and stuff 765 00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 1: because there have been some like you know, dispensaries being robbed. 766 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,839 Speaker 1: I think that's that happens in many cities that have dispensaries. 767 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 1: You know, it's a target with a probably a lot 768 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,080 Speaker 1: of cash and you know other goods that you might 769 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 1: be able to resell. But yeah, it's funny when you 770 00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,399 Speaker 1: search this headline, like the many different dimensions that people 771 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,240 Speaker 1: are saying. The Fox News San Francisco crime seurche prompts 772 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 1: city just to spend cannabis tax to help dispensaries versus 773 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:12,480 Speaker 1: drug dealers. Yeah, I mean that, but I think they 774 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 1: have to compete with it is a little bit hard 775 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 1: to compete right now, I think. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, alright, Well, let's talk about 826 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,280 Speaker 1: how the right is using Santa Claus to promote guns. 827 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 1: This has been a headline over the weekend. Thomas Massey, 828 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:19,439 Speaker 1: congressman from Kentucky, posted a family Christmas portrait in which 829 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:23,680 Speaker 1: everyone is posed with an assortment of like assault rifles 830 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:28,160 Speaker 1: and smiling and it says, Merry Christmas, PS, Santa please 831 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:33,719 Speaker 1: bring Ammo. Yeah, which is cool. No magazines in their 832 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,279 Speaker 1: gun and the guns so maybe that's why they're maybe 833 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,160 Speaker 1: they just want to be really safe. Yeah, there you go, 834 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,080 Speaker 1: see and direct you right, Although I like how Thomas 835 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,800 Speaker 1: Massey is holding a fucking M sixty and for my 836 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,000 Speaker 1: little girl, see, you can't get a big gun, you 837 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 1: hold this oozy. Yeah, the woman in the picture is 838 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:58,680 Speaker 1: holding a Newsy. But El Paso County Sheriff's Office tweeted 839 00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,720 Speaker 1: a photo of Santa Claus apply for a concealed handgun permit. 840 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 1: God to run that back issue an apology. Yeah. People 841 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,520 Speaker 1: were like, I don't think the idea of Santa needing 842 00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:13,359 Speaker 1: a handgun is as uplifting as you think it is. Yes, 843 00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 1: we had originally envisioned and so they had to be 844 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:20,360 Speaker 1: like our bead. Sorry, I'm surprised. The text of that 845 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,239 Speaker 1: tweet was like, you know how fucked up it is 846 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 1: out there, right, even Santa is trying to get a CCW. 847 00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:29,279 Speaker 1: This wow. So wild West folks, stay strapped your local 848 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,640 Speaker 1: police of force. Episode intended to highlight our staff in 849 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:37,360 Speaker 1: the Concealed Handgun Permit Office. Not to be insensitive, I'm sorry, 850 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,879 Speaker 1: Sam correlates to the month of December, and we thought 851 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,439 Speaker 1: he would help to recognize our hard working staff. That's 852 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,000 Speaker 1: all you can just say. Thanks, to our hard working 853 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:52,239 Speaker 1: staff in our office. Yeah yeah, but hey, guess who 854 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,719 Speaker 1: came to receive this concealed handgun permit today? It was 855 00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,320 Speaker 1: the text that they tweeted with the picture. So this 856 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,760 Speaker 1: has been like a long term thing. Actually, the idea 857 00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:06,400 Speaker 1: of a gun toting Santa is like pretty deeply entrenched 858 00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:10,440 Speaker 1: in America's relationship with Christmas. Like there's this early twentieth 859 00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:15,440 Speaker 1: century add from a gun manufacturer with Santa holding a 860 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,680 Speaker 1: that appears to be a rifle and told parents that 861 00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 1: Santa would be speeding over rooftops loaded down with Steven's 862 00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,440 Speaker 1: firearms for the youths of the land. So it's not 863 00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 1: just like a fun juxtaposition of like this fun Christmas 864 00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 1: thing with deadly guns that triggered libs like this is 865 00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:39,839 Speaker 1: Santa giving kids guns? Like right, yeah, I'm trying. I'm 866 00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,719 Speaker 1: trying to think of the Muslim equivalent, like you know, 867 00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 1: after after Rama don or something on ed like you sometimes, 868 00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,160 Speaker 1: you know, we would traditionally give I mean, to keep 869 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,080 Speaker 1: up with American capitalism. Yes we do presents and stuff now, 870 00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,239 Speaker 1: but that's not really what you would do with box 871 00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,080 Speaker 1: thun or you know, wherever. But like you would you 872 00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,120 Speaker 1: would you. There's this thing called e D so you 873 00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,600 Speaker 1: give cash and envelopes. So in my head I'm thinking, like, oh, 874 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,040 Speaker 1: what are you just giving a little like bullets or whatever? 875 00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,719 Speaker 1: I don't know, right, and then imagine the outrage, right 876 00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,080 Speaker 1: because a lot of people Poe pointed to the fact that, like, 877 00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:17,239 Speaker 1: imagine that Christmas photo, but it's a family of color, 878 00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,960 Speaker 1: a Muslim family, a black family. Like, then what's what 879 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 1: are the headline is going to be about that? Yeah? 880 00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 1: Oh my god. There's a guy, John Snyder, who's a 881 00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:29,320 Speaker 1: gun lobbyist who would routinely send out Christmas cards featuring 882 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:33,560 Speaker 1: Santa brandishing a firearm, threatening burglars and poised a gun 883 00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:37,720 Speaker 1: down a dynamite wielding quote terrorists who for some reason 884 00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:43,759 Speaker 1: is attempting to take out a single Christmas tree dynamite. Okay, yeah, 885 00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,640 Speaker 1: even as supporters were a little bit put off by 886 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,000 Speaker 1: a card in which Santa Neale's next to a slumbering 887 00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,600 Speaker 1: baby Jesus holding a rifle, and then sent out a 888 00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,120 Speaker 1: card featuring the archangel Michael shooting a drug dealer and 889 00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,800 Speaker 1: an alley lit by a Christmas star. We were just 890 00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 1: where I was in Connecticut visiting someone for over whatever 891 00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,160 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. When when I was there and you know, 892 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:12,160 Speaker 1: going to one of these like Super America gas station 893 00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,919 Speaker 1: stops or whatever. I'm sure people are familiar with taking 894 00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,440 Speaker 1: a road trip. And I remember one of the licensed 895 00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:20,120 Speaker 1: plates we saw it was kind of like that it 896 00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,800 Speaker 1: was like a family gun thing and it literally just 897 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:27,200 Speaker 1: had like all of the guns from just small just 898 00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:31,719 Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, dude, yeah, but you look that guy 899 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:36,720 Speaker 1: actually just anthropomorphized his own guns. Here's my baby, Callie. 900 00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,720 Speaker 1: Is it just like I guess I was talking about 901 00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,000 Speaker 1: road trips a little bit, but is it just a 902 00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:49,400 Speaker 1: total I think it's irreconcilable, right, that whole thing. I 903 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,280 Speaker 1: don't know, like thinking about all of the road trips 904 00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,040 Speaker 1: I've done, touring through the country, just especially you know 905 00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:58,839 Speaker 1: when you leave the city's like, yeah, it's like it's 906 00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:02,200 Speaker 1: such a big This country is such a huge place, 907 00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,480 Speaker 1: and it's like, I don't know, when you're in the 908 00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:10,640 Speaker 1: middle of like Wyoming or whatever, I don't know. Yeah, 909 00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:16,600 Speaker 1: it's a very specific type of you know, cognitive I 910 00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,680 Speaker 1: don't even know what to call it, but I think 911 00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:23,960 Speaker 1: it's basically that we it's one of these like freedoms 912 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,640 Speaker 1: and quotes that we have. You know, our lives are 913 00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:31,080 Speaker 1: not actually free in America, even though we define ourselves 914 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,640 Speaker 1: as like the home of the Free, and it's like 915 00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,960 Speaker 1: this is one of the freedoms that they have like 916 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 1: grafted there, you know, identity as Americans onto because you know, 917 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:47,520 Speaker 1: and there's probably part of them that recognizes that, well, 918 00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,280 Speaker 1: the fact that you work for a corporation that doesn't 919 00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,359 Speaker 1: care if you live or die, and that you need 920 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:57,120 Speaker 1: to work for them to avoid dying because of like 921 00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,400 Speaker 1: the way health insurance works in this country, Like they 922 00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:04,000 Speaker 1: probably recognized that that's not actually like a free society. 923 00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:08,400 Speaker 1: So like that that's where I think the just outright 924 00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:12,080 Speaker 1: kind of mania around this comes from, and kind of 925 00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:16,720 Speaker 1: the inability to recognize like why people would be offended 926 00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,239 Speaker 1: or like put off. I remember, I mean not too 927 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,600 Speaker 1: long ago, had at one there was like a birthday 928 00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,600 Speaker 1: thing for my my wife.

But like a friend of 931 00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:38,960 Speaker 1: hers that was there just it wasn't even like he 932 00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:40,560 Speaker 1: just was like oh no, no, it's it's just it's 933 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,719 Speaker 1: just different where we're at, Like it. It wasn't even 934 00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:47,560 Speaker 1: like it didn't become necessarily like as maybe antagonistic as 935 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,360 Speaker 1: I would have normally intended it too, because at that 936 00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,680 Speaker 1: at that moment, the way that he said, he was like, yeah, 937 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,400 Speaker 1: you know, we have two kids at home, we got 938 00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,440 Speaker 1: a couple of guns, and none everybody has guns on 939 00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,920 Speaker 1: our plot.

I don't know, Yeah, I'm not 943 00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,719 Speaker 1: I'm not a fan. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, 944 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 1: different people have different relationships to weapons. You know, especially 945 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,719 Speaker 1: there's the people who like there's white people who are 946 00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:23,879 Speaker 1: living in fear of like a brown America, and that's 947 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 1: a motivator. You have a lot of minorities who realize, 948 00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:30,680 Speaker 1: I'm not sure law enforcement will protect me. So I 949 00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,640 Speaker 1: see no reason to just look at these maniacs who 950 00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,920 Speaker 1: are you know, gooned up with guns and wait for 951 00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:40,360 Speaker 1: a you know, a law enforcement agency that I'm not 952 00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,480 Speaker 1: really entirely sure will protect me. That drives another one. 953 00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,440 Speaker 1: I think, so that everyone has so many roads towards it, 954 00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,560 Speaker 1: but yeah, like to the point of, like I think 955 00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,600 Speaker 1: people swap out their lack of freedom with just saying, well, 956 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:54,840 Speaker 1: at least I could have a gun, yeah, and like 957 00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:56,719 Speaker 1: if it all goes to hell, the gun will make 958 00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,719 Speaker 1: things better. If I have no health insurance, I can go. 959 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,279 Speaker 1: I've seen a movie where a dad used a gun 960 00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:06,680 Speaker 1: to get their kids like treatment at a hospital. I 961 00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,200 Speaker 1: don't know, but I remember seeing. I feel like that 962 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,360 Speaker 1: was a movie, like what's a big time actor, not 963 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,960 Speaker 1: like it's like I think that not produced by Ben Shapiro. Right. 964 00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,360 Speaker 1: The moral of this is that, like see what happens, 965 00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,400 Speaker 1: Like that's an actual lack of recourse that is driving 966 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,239 Speaker 1: people to certain directions. And I think that's what's really 967 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:28,000 Speaker 1: frightened too, is that rather than being fixated on whether 968 00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,680 Speaker 1: or not you can have guns, like really sort of 969 00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:34,320 Speaker 1: trying and understand the stresses that you're experiencing, because it 970 00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,080 Speaker 1: might not just be this bookieman that you've made up 971 00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:39,400 Speaker 1: in your head or you've got the dude he's on 972 00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,800 Speaker 1: the street next to me who has that fucking terrorist 973 00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,960 Speaker 1: hunting permit h one sticker on his truck, right, you know? 974 00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:49,279 Speaker 1: And when I go for runs and I passed that thing, 975 00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:52,359 Speaker 1: Like what am I supposed to I don't know. Yeah, wow, 976 00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:57,320 Speaker 1: your neighbor, Oh yeah, yeah yeah. There was actually in 977 00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:02,080 Speaker 1: our town over the summer. This was not a story 978 00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,320 Speaker 1: man in the news like it may have been for 979 00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:07,239 Speaker 1: twenty four hours. There was a twenty eight year old 980 00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:12,000 Speaker 1: pH d student named Nathan Allen who stole a plumbers 981 00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,400 Speaker 1: truck with the intention we found out later of crashing 982 00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:17,279 Speaker 1: it into the Jewish temple that's at the end of 983 00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:20,200 Speaker 1: our street. He didn't make it there. He crashed into 984 00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,960 Speaker 1: like a house. He got out of the truck with 985 00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:26,640 Speaker 1: a with a like whatever handgun he like, and yet 986 00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:28,560 Speaker 1: he didn't have shoes on or something. And he like 987 00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:32,040 Speaker 1: this is two pm on like a Saturday. He walked 988 00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:35,560 Speaker 1: past everybody else, shot and killed the two the only 989 00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,359 Speaker 1: two black people that were like on the street corner 990 00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,920 Speaker 1: where I like go for runs all the time. And 991 00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,920 Speaker 1: then like the you know, and and they found later 992 00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,920 Speaker 1: they found like a backpack with guns and m O 993 00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:50,840 Speaker 1: and like he basically who knows, who knows what the 994 00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:52,000 Speaker 1: hell he was going to do. But this is like 995 00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:56,759 Speaker 1: a white supremacist terrorist attack in Winthrop, Massachusetts, And like 996 00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,480 Speaker 1: it was my parents here and where I'm sitting in 997 00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:04,040 Speaker 1: bill Rick didn't even care about it. Yeah, wow, Yeah, 998 00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:08,239 Speaker 1: I mean I think that's the again, always part of 999 00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,000 Speaker 1: like a pattern we're seeing the news is to say, 1000 00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:14,680 Speaker 1: like when there are like clear hate attacks that are 1001 00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:18,240 Speaker 1: perpetrated by white people, it's they'll find many reasons to 1002 00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:20,840 Speaker 1: either cover it very in such a nebulous way that 1003 00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:24,160 Speaker 1: you're missing the point, or just in a very reduced 1004 00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,800 Speaker 1: way because you know, it doesn't feed into I think 1005 00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:31,200 Speaker 1: what a lot of American people think white terrorism could be. Yeah, 1006 00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:34,720 Speaker 1: and just back to the gun thing that you know, 1007 00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:39,520 Speaker 1: there's this like trend apparently very popular of staging photo 1008 00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:42,640 Speaker 1: opposite gun clubs where kids can get their picture taken 1009 00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:46,280 Speaker 1: with santah while holding an instrument of mass death. Like 1010 00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:51,160 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how the Michigan school shooter 1011 00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:55,640 Speaker 1: and his parents being on trial for manslaughter, Like, will 1012 00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,560 Speaker 1: these people like come to their defense because they bought 1013 00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:03,040 Speaker 1: their kid a gun and like that's basically what they're 1014 00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:06,600 Speaker 1: on trial for. Like, I don't, I don't know. It's 1015 00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,000 Speaker 1: kind of a weird one because there's a lot of 1016 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:11,320 Speaker 1: mistakes along the way, and I think they'll just point 1017 00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,920 Speaker 1: to I don't know, I mean, you know, we'll see 1018 00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,760 Speaker 1: what they start saying. But and I think just this 1019 00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:18,760 Speaker 1: whole Santa thing, it's just kind of funny because it 1020 00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,160 Speaker 1: just made me realize, like even in I think you 1021 00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,480 Speaker 1: should leave Tim Robinson, there was a whole fucking bit 1022 00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:29,960 Speaker 1: about Santa being a gun toting election. Yeah, well Santa 1023 00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:33,840 Speaker 1: plays a gun to murder. He's not. Actually, it's like 1024 00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:37,200 Speaker 1: that's it's like you're it's a cosmic gumbo, right, It's 1025 00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:39,640 Speaker 1: kind of a cosmic gumbo the way that he, uh, 1026 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,280 Speaker 1: you know, he inhabits the role. You'll forget it Santa 1027 00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,480 Speaker 1: when you're watching the movie. It's actually pretty don't refer 1028 00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:50,720 Speaker 1: to me as Santo.
