1
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:03,239
Speaker 1: Hey guys.

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 2: Here we are on normal the show with normalish takes

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 2: for when the news gets weird. I am Mary Catherine

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 2: Ham and I'm Carol Markolitz.

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 3: Today we're going to get into a continuation of what

6
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 3: we talked about a little last time, which is Kamala

7
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 3: Harris is struggling with male voters, and she particularly has

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 3: decided that black men are where she will focus a

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 3: little bit. I think Tim Wallas is maybe trying to

10
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 3: get the hunter demographic going with his amazing hunting skills

11
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 3: last weekend, but Kamala Harris put out a tweet where

12
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 3: she proposed some ideas for black men, and so here's

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 3: what it says. Kamala Harris will create an opportunity agenda

14
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 3: for black men. She'll provide one million loans that are

15
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 3: fully forgivable to twenty thousand dollars for black entrepreneurs and

16
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 3: others to start a business. She'll support education, training, and

17
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: mentorship programs that leads to good paying jobs for black men,

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 3: including pathways to become teachers. She'll protect cryptocurrency investments so

19
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 3: black men who make them know their money safe. She'll

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: launch a national health initiative focused on the illnesses disproportionately

21
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 3: impact black men. My personal favorite, she'll legalize recreational marijuana

22
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: and create opportunities for Black Americans to succeed in this

23
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 3: new industry. That is a hodgepodge of ideas.

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: It really is. The crypto one is odd.

25
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: Is there really a high proportion of black men who

26
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: are invested in crypto that this is reaching?

27
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, right.

28
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 2: I like that one of her other campaign graphics for

29
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: the marijuana promise is green in the background, just to

30
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: really drive over the head the point home. This all

31
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: feels a little too little, too late for me.

32
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure, because I think I will give

33
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: you twenty thousand dollars is actually a very very very

34
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 3: strong campaign message. And whether or not she could actually

35
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: do that is another story, but it's a fair point. Yeah.

36
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: I do think the Constitution might have some issues with

37
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 2: giving money only by race.

38
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: Come on, Mary Kada, it's very old fashioned.

39
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: The Supreme Court told the Biden administration that they could

40
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: not pay off student loans, and then the Biden administration

41
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: went around the Supreme Court and did it anyway. Barely

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 3: any media coverage of this. No problem. They found some

43
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: other way to do it. If they want to give

44
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 3: out twenty thousand dollars to their voters, which is basically

45
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: what they did with the student loans. They're going to

46
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: find a way.

47
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

48
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 2: I love the part where democratic administrations announced that they

49
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 2: know they can't do stuff like this. It was Daco

50
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: with Obama who was the loans Pelosius specifically, it was like, now,

51
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 2: we can't do this, definitely not within our power. Right, Okay,

52
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: let's do it.

53
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: Let's do it anyway.

54
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, and maybe a couple of years from now the

55
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 2: courts will tell us that we did the wrong thing,

56
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 2: but by then it's already done.

57
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: So you're probably right.

58
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: But a Democratic campaig and having to cobble together promises

59
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: to a key constituency like this on October fifteenth or so, Yeah,

60
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 2: is not the sign I think of a healthy operation,

61
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: even if it might work.

62
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. I think it's a hail Mary. And

63
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: for Tim Wall's fans out there, that's a football reference.

64
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: So I don't know. I'm not sure that this is

65
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 3: portraying strength. But again, I handing out cash to voters

66
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: is a very popular policy, and I don't know that

67
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 3: necessarily the it'll backfire. I would like you to imagine

68
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: for a second if it was Donald Trump's campaign that

69
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: was like, hey, black men, we will legalize recreational marijuana

70
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: because we know you love the weed and so you know,

71
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: we're going to make sure to make it easier for

72
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: you to smoke it. Jobs, Yeah, black jobs became the

73
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 3: ray most racist thing in the world, even though obviously

74
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,839
Speaker 3: we know what black jobs are, jobs that black people do,

75
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 3: so it's crazy obviously this double standard, but here we are, so.

76
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, black jobs, by the way, is the binders full

77
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: of women of this election where it's just this nonsensical

78
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: thing where maybe one word is left out of a

79
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: phrase and it's clearly not intended to be offensive. In fact,

80
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: it's part of talking about policies that would benefit the

81
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 2: demographic you're talking about, but the media decides that it's

82
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 2: just like the most heinous thing that's ever been said.

83
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: Romney was accused of great sexism and misogyny by noting

84
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 2: that his administration had binders full of women, and what

85
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: he meant to say was women's resumes, which was quite clear,

86
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: so that he could hire a bunch of women into

87
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 2: his administration. And yet to this day, if you ask

88
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: a liberal friend to tell you why this is offensive.

89
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: They'll have some trouble coming up with what right, Because

90
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: I could have.

91
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: Wanted to stuff women into binders. He just literally wanted to.

92
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: Keep them there. Obvious.

93
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 5: Oh.

94
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: I guess we will see where this leads.

95
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 2: Again, A key demographic that you should have been in

96
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: touch with throughout the process now being addressed on October

97
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: fifteenth is not a great sign. I also saw a

98
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: story today about the left and Democratic operatives being concerned

99
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: about the ground game in Pennsylvania for Kamala Harris, which

100
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: doesn't sound great, especially in Philadelphia where you've got working

101
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: class voters moving away from the Democratic Party right. So

102
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: that is perhaps one of many excuses that are sort

103
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: of being pre built into the election.

104
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: Excuses.

105
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 5: Yeah.

106
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. The other one, Carol, that you noticed is that

107
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: a lot of people are starting some arguments about how

108
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: maybe if Kamala Harris is not doing well, it's the

109
00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: media's fault.

110
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: I love that.

111
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: Let's hear Sunny Hustin of the View explain why this

112
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:06,559
Speaker 2: might be the case.

113
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 5: I think that Kamala Harris has been running a flawless

114
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 5: campaign and that's why she raised billions of dollars. A

115
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 5: billion dollar I think it's because of the momentum that

116
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 5: she has. I think it's because people believe in her,

117
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 5: and I think people are showing that by the amount

118
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 5: of money that they're willing to give to the campaign.

119
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: I think we have the press to blame.

120
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 5: For a lot of this about you know what, but

121
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 5: you always say you don't believe in polls. I'm with

122
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 5: you now because I'm reading the press. First it was

123
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 5: Kamala is not doing enough press. Now she goes on

124
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 5: this huge press tour. She was here with us. I

125
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 5: thought she was fantastic, she was energetic, the crowd went wild.

126
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: It was electric.

127
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 5: CNN, Democrats grow anxious, Axios, Blue Wall, Blues, Fox, Dems

128
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 5: are scared to death.

129
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: No, Dems are not scared to death. Then Dems are pumped.

130
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: What I would like.

131
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 5: The press to talk a little bit more about is

132
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 5: Trump isn't hiding. He didn't do the sixteen minutes interview.

133
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 5: He does not want to do another debate. He's in

134
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 5: mental decline. Obama's speech was captivating in Pittsburgh, Yet instead

135
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 5: of talking about that, we're talking about what he said

136
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 5: before the speech to black men. I think that the

137
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 5: media has to do a much better job than what

138
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 5: they're doing.

139
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, media has to do a better job at what

140
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: they're doing, which should be shoring up the Kamala Harris candidacy.

141
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 3: Now we're recording this on Wednesday for Thursday's release. Tonight,

142
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris is going on Fox News again, not the

143
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 3: sign of a campaign that is super comfortable, But with

144
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: Sonny Hoysten's comments that she already has done a huge

145
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 3: press tour, she included the view Mary Catherine, I mean,

146
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: what else is there? So you know, I think that

147
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 3: it would have actually been a stronger argument post Fox

148
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 3: debate for her.

149
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, a pox interview, interview. There's a couple things going

150
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: on here that I find amazing. A flawless campaign. Does

151
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 2: she really believe that? Number one? Number two, the idea

152
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: that the press is not sufficiently soft on Kamala Harris,

153
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: I think is delusional, just totally delusional. And then there's

154
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: the idea that if you just hit the bare minimum,

155
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: which is to make yourself accessible for a job interview,

156
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 2: for the most important job on earth, that you have

157
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 2: really hit the mark. No, she actually has to do

158
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: the interviews. Well, I think Houstin here is probably trying

159
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: to claw back a little of the damage that Kamala

160
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 2: Harris did to herself on the View in response to

161
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: Sonny Huston's question, which is now an ad by the way,

162
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: when she said she couldn't think of anything that she

163
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 2: would differentiate or she would do differently during the last

164
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 2: four years. She's doing it to herself, right, And it

165
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: remains to be seen what happens on Fox with Brett Baer.

166
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 2: These things are challenging, and they're challenging for a reason

167
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 2: because the job is challenging, and.

168
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: All of us aren't challenging.

169
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: By the way, that's one of the first challenging ones.

170
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: But you're supposed to do this. This is the bare minimum,

171
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: and then you should do it well.

172
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 3: And it's a lay up question. What will you do

173
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: differently than the president who's in there now? Whose vice

174
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 3: president you are? She's not ready to answer that. What

175
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 3: is she ready to answer? We'll be right back on normally.

176
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: Can I note that Donald Trump isn't really in hiding.

177
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 2: I watched the Chicago Economic Club interview he did with

178
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: a Bloomberg reporter and it was an hour and five

179
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 2: minutes long, and at the top of that interview, the

180
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 2: interview at thinkst migkel Swaite said that he had invited

181
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris, that the organization had invited Kamala Harris and

182
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: she had turned down this hour long explication of economic issues. Now,

183
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: you can disagree with many of the points he made

184
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 2: during this hour and five minutes, but he did the thing.

185
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: And he's done several appearances, one of which I would

186
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: like to draw attention to called Bustin with the Boys.

187
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so this is.

188
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 2: A podcast, one of the many male demographic podcasts that

189
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 2: he has appeared on.

190
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: THEO Vaughn.

191
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: This is a barstool podcast with two NFL players, and

192
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: it's like bro versus Bratt, right, So these are the bros.

193
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 2: Donald Trump goes on Busting with the Boys, this barstool podcast.

194
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 2: And apparently one of the questions that they asked or

195
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: the stories they were telling that the hosts laughed at

196
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 2: Trump's answer. The Washington Post was interested in that. So

197
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: let's hear what the Washington Post had to ask the

198
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 2: Busting with the Boys guys. Here is Will Compton, who

199
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: is one of the hosts of this show, explaining the

200
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: email they got was a.

201
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 4: Part of the episode where we're talking ball and how

202
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 4: Trump used to play tight end would have locked him up,

203
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 4: and he essentially makes the comment, I don't I wouldn't

204
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 4: want to get hit, or I didn't want to get

205
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 4: hit by somebody who's been lifting weights all day long

206
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 4: and came from a bad neighborhood. Taylor and I laughed.

207
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 4: They want to they want our comment. Their question is

208
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 4: why did we find that amusing? You already know what

209
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 4: they want to do with this thing. You want to

210
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 4: know what kind of picture they want to paint. You

211
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 4: want to know what kind of box they want us

212
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 4: to put it. You want to know you know their

213
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 4: vision for this entire question. On asking that number one,

214
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 4: I thought it was funny because Trump is sitting there

215
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 4: admitting that he is not built for the A gap,

216
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 4: nor is he a tight end that was built for

217
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 4: catching his slant over the middle, only to get his

218
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 4: vertebrae is L four and L five compressed by a

219
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 4: middle linebacker that probably goes on to play in Nebraska

220
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 4: and arguably ten years in the NFL. But just knowing that,

221
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 4: you know the direction they want to go with this

222
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 4: thing as they write whatever article that they're trying to write.

223
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 4: And they asked if Willer Taylor would provide a comment

224
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 4: on why we found that amusing. So I'm thinking to myself, well,

225
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 4: I will just I'll publicly tell you guys my comment.

226
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 4: So Washington Post, here's my comment about why I thought

227
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 4: it was amusing.

228
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 2: I set this clip to so many people and I

229
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: was like, very seriously, watch till the end.

230
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, take tips on these guys on PR response. I

231
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 3: like that.

232
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 2: I call it made up crisis calms, because the crisis

233
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 2: isn't real, so you shouldn't treat it seriously.

234
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 3: Imagine why did you find this funny? Like break down

235
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 3: for us? Why you thought that was funny?

236
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 2: And also Trump is just like admitting something against interest.

237
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: He's saying, like I wasn't going to be out there

238
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,599
Speaker 2: on the field looking to take hits, right, it is funny? Yeah, absolutely,

239
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't that be funny? Trump is a funny guy.

240
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 3: Like again, I feel like there's a lot of like

241
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 3: you're allowed to hate Trump, go ahead and hate him,

242
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 3: but he's funny and that is funny.

243
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: So I think I think it is like largely his

244
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: saving grace that he is entertaining. And by the way,

245
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 2: this comes in a proud tradition of barstool folks destroying

246
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 2: the Washington when they ask them for comment on things,

247
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 2: because Dave Portnoy famously blew a Washington Post reporter out

248
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 2: of the water by taping their conversation when she had

249
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 2: questions about a pizza festival that Dave Portnoy had had

250
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: the temerity to host in New York City and bring

251
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 2: his ichy views to And they were sort of trying

252
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: to pre cancel this pizza festival, and Dave was not

253
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: having it. And I think addressing these things publicly because

254
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: he's exactly right. We know where this is going, and

255
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: this is not in good faith and you should not

256
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: address it as such.

257
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: And perhaps that's why.

258
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: By the way, Carol, I just want to note a

259
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: new Gallup poll that shows Americans trust in media at

260
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: a trend low. Thirty one percent of Americans expressed a

261
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: great deal or fair amount of confidence in the media.

262
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 2: That's a thirty one percent with two levels of confidence combined.

263
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 2: If you just take the great deal, it's much smaller

264
00:13:58,559 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 2: than that.

265
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: Not enough, not low enough, lowest since nineteen seventy two.

266
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 3: So let us read one more tweet. This is from

267
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 3: Will Stancil. I don't entirely know who he is, but

268
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 3: a lot of people really hate him on.

269
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 2: X left leaning punching bag is sort of the vibe

270
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: I get from the account.

271
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 3: So it's fun. It's fun, you know, to watch from Afar,

272
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: but he tweets. The thing is a handful of news

273
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 3: organizations could end Trump's campaign tomorrow if they covered his racism, conspiracism, age,

274
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 3: sexual assaults, and criminality the exact same way that those

275
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 3: same topics get covered when any other candidate does the

276
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: same or less than him. You know, I just haven't

277
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 3: heard enough about how Trump is racist. I feel like

278
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 3: if they just stamp that up a little bit twenty

279
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 3: four to the.

280
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: Bottom of that.

281
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is wild to me to imagine living in

282
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: the brain of Will Stancil or Sunny Hastin when they.

283
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: Look around and go, you know what, we need more bad.

284
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 2: News about Trump, because I believe, if I'm not mistaken,

285
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 2: I believe it's Media Research Center did a study pre

286
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: ABC hosted debate and found that one hundred percent of

287
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: their stories about Trump were negative from the preceding several months.

288
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 3: Not enough.

289
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how you do better. I don't know

290
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: how you do better.

291
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 3: You know, what they're really saying is they're saying that

292
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 3: Fox News exists. And also Bridget Fetesi pointed out that

293
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 3: this election is like the podcast election. All these candidates

294
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 3: or you know, Trump, all these candidates Trump keeps going

295
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 3: on the podcast and even of course Kamala Harris had

296
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: her call her daddy. But this is the first time

297
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 3: that's really happening. And what these people are saying is,

298
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 3: I don't like that there's non leftist outlets out there,

299
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 3: non liberal outlets. They wanted to be only their news groups,

300
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 3: only the stations that they like, and so you know,

301
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 3: too bad, too bad, too bad that there's other outlets

302
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 3: out there now and you don't have them an out

303
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 3: on it anymore. But speaking of podcasts, there's a rumor

304
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 3: there's potentially a situation where Kamala Harris will be going

305
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 3: on the Joe Rogan Show.

306
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: So there's been some talk about this and it keeps

307
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: being buzz And again I want to caution everybody that

308
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 2: Beyonce was supposed to show up at the DNC, so

309
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: don't take this to the bank, okay, But they're talking

310
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: about her going on Joe Rogan and it's continued for

311
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: more than twenty four hours now, so maybe there is

312
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: a booking in the offing here of the places one

313
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: could go, this is a.

314
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: Three hour conversation.

315
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

316
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 2: Now, I suppose in a world where you're a candidate

317
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: for president, you just say like, I'm doing a shorter

318
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 2: version of that.

319
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: But I feel like you got to hit forty minutes.

320
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 2: If it's Joe Rogan, I mean, hey, he's not going

321
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 2: to do a ten minute interview with you, yusy.

322
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 3: I find it very hard to imagine her on it.

323
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 3: I kind of find it hard to imagine any presidential

324
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 3: candidate talking for three hours, maybe except Trump, because I

325
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 3: don't think he's worried about like saying the wrong thing.

326
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 3: He has no such concern. So other than Donald Trump,

327
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 3: I can't picture another candidate talking for three hours. I

328
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 3: don't think Kamala Harris can.

329
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:13,479
Speaker 2: Do ninety minutes.

330
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 3: So and if she does, imagine if she does, you

331
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 3: know it's going to be wall to wall clips of

332
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 3: her talking herself into a circle and not being able

333
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 3: to get out of that. Also, there's, of course, of course,

334
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 3: the thing where Joe Rogan used to be the sextist, racist,

335
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 3: worst guy ever. Neil Young can't be on the same

336
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 3: platform as him, but Kamala Harris can now potentially interesting.

337
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: The moral panic over the Joe Rogan Show being on

338
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 2: Spotify was one of the more creepy displays that we've

339
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: had in the last four years, and that includes the

340
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 2: COVID creepy displays of authoritarianism. By the way, they always

341
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 2: call us authoritarian And I'm like, you tried to get

342
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 2: Joe Rogan taken off of all the platforms because you

343
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 2: don't you don't like that he smokes weed and talks

344
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 2: to people for three hours that you don't like. I mean,

345
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: this is a crazy thing. And now they're just like,

346
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 2: oh no, forget that. It's like install the chip, take

347
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: the chip out.

348
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: Fine again.

349
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 3: You know, I'm not a finance person and this is

350
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 3: not to be financial advice. But when Spotify stood by

351
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 3: Joe Rogan, we bought stock and Spotify and it has

352
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 3: gone way up, way, So you.

353
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 2: Know, very much appreciated that any any company that can be.

354
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: Brave like that.

355
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 2: Especially I remember that that controversy was so pitched. It

356
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: was like the only thing in media for I want

357
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 2: to say more than a week we talked about the

358
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 2: scourge that is Joe Rogan. On the on the national

359
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 2: body politic, and it's like, my dude is just having

360
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 2: a blunt and talking to people.

361
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: I don't leave Joe Rogan alone. That's our possession.

362
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 3: We're going to take a short break and come right

363
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 3: back with normally.

364
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 2: So shall we talk about crime for our in case

365
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 2: you missed it this week. We do not want you

366
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 2: guys to miss this important stats update.

367
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 3: So the FBI has revised their crime numbers. They actually

368
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 3: edited it and didn't tell anybody about it. We call

369
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 3: that a stealth edit. And crime is no longer down

370
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 3: two point one percent. It's actually now up four point

371
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 3: five percent, which is worse, I think.

372
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: And if you'll remember, I believe it was during the

373
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 2: summer up to a couple of weeks ago, there was

374
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 2: a lot of crowing in the mainstream media outlets about

375
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 2: CNN violent crime is down and the US murder rate

376
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: is plunging. FBI statistics show Northern starline to cap violent

377
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 2: crime down. New FBI stats and NBC news show US

378
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: historic declines in violent crime rate.

379
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: On and on and on.

380
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: Violent crime dropped in twenty twenty three. Despite Trump's saying

381
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 2: such an well, it turns out that's not true, which

382
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 2: is what a lot of people right of center or

383
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 2: critical thinkers were saying at the time that these stats drop.

384
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: They said, well, a lot of these cities aren't reporting

385
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: them in the same way that they used to, so

386
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 2: we can't really take that to the bank. And why

387
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 2: does it take real clear politics investigative writers to be

388
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 2: watching the stats to see the stealth edit so that

389
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 2: we see the four point five percent increase ye instead

390
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 2: of the two point one decrease.

391
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 3: You know, that's a great question. And I don't understand

392
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 3: how the FBI doesn't release a statement about the change.

393
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 3: They just edit it and hope for the best. And

394
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 3: you know what's another funny thing is that when people

395
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 3: were saying these crime stats are made up and they're not,

396
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 3: you know, you can't apples to apples the crimes deats

397
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 3: from a few years ago because they're not writing it

398
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 3: the same way.

399
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 4: That was a.

400
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 3: Conspiracy theory and that was something that crazy Republicans would say,

401
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 3: and you know, look at the stats, Well, look at

402
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 3: the stats. They've been changed.

403
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 5: Now.

404
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have a reliable narrator problem in this country.

405
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: People don't know who to trust.

406
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 2: And it's my full time job to watch these stories,

407
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 2: and I feel like when something breaks, I got to

408
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 2: do at least an hour of work to figure out

409
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 2: who's telling me the truth, because the press generally is

410
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 2: not interested in telling you what's actually happening, So you

411
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: have to do a lot of work on the back

412
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: end and try to make yourself trustworthy. Yeah, man, organizations

413
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: like this are looking to burn through public trust, or

414
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 2: at least that's the way it feels. And the same

415
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: thing has happened in places where schools were closed, for instance,

416
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 2: during COVID, is that they've changed the way that they

417
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 2: do stats for student achievement, specifically so that you cannot

418
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 2: compare right post pandemic with pre pandemic, because they know

419
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 2: that the receipts will be bad for them, and so

420
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 2: that also hurts public trust. We have to have some

421
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 2: sort of consensus that we're dealing with stats fairly.

422
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 3: Right, absolutely, and they've like, I mean not to get

423
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 3: too into that, but it's obviously a topic that you

424
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 3: and I care a lot about. But they've discouraged parents

425
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 3: from letting their kids take state tests in the wake

426
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 3: of the pandemic closures, and so you really don't know

427
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 3: because they're telling parents don't have your kids take these tests.

428
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: I hear from.

429
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 3: Parents often that are told by their school administration that

430
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 3: it's not really that important for your kids to take

431
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 3: these tests.

432
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: But back to the.

433
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 3: Data here on the FBI and crime, I'll read what

434
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 3: John Lott wrote for real clear investigations. He wrote, while

435
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 3: the FBI claims that serious violent crime has fallen by

436
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 3: five point eight percent since Biden took office, the numbers

437
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 3: actually show that total violent crime has risen by fifty

438
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 3: five point four percent. It's actually not a small discrepancy.

439
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 3: That's not like, oh, two points here are two points there.

440
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 4: No.

441
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 3: Rapes are up by forty two two percent, robbery by

442
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 3: sixty three percent, and aggravated assault by fifty five percent

443
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 3: during Biden's term. This is the largest previous sorry, since

444
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,719
Speaker 3: this they started looking at these numbers. Largest previous increase

445
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 3: over three years was twenty seven percent in two thousand

446
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 3: and six. So the increase under Biden was slightly more

447
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 3: than twice as large. It's mind boggling that this is

448
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 3: not a wall to wall story. I mean this, It

449
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 3: just is unacceptable that these kinds of numbers are not

450
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 3: being clarified in our national media.

451
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, it won't surprise you that the FBI declined to

452
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 2: comment on real clear investigations work on this, And I

453
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 2: just think this is something people feel in their real lives, right,

454
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 2: They feel the difference in their communities.

455
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: Yes, it's not fake to them, right.

456
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 2: And just another story that speaks to that is the

457
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 2: Walgreens story from this week where the pharmacy is cover

458
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 2: closing twelve hundred story over the next three years, with

459
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 2: eight hundred more under evaluation. And some of that is

460
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 2: because they're in places that are very prone to being

461
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 2: robbed and they've got everything locked down. It makes the

462
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 2: shopping experience not nice for normal people who aren't looking

463
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: to rob the place. You have to have someone unlock

464
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 2: anything that's in the store, and happening on this scale

465
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 2: reveals something. People see this in their daily lives, and

466
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 2: to tell them it's not real, whether you're the FBI

467
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: or running for president, is not wise.

468
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 3: Yeah. I really oppose the gaslighting of this kind of thing.

469
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 3: When we lived in Brooklyn and we saw a crime

470
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 3: going up, you know, we lived in a very lefty area,

471
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 3: so all the boards were like every time you mentioned like,

472
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 3: I feel unsafe on the subway now, So people the

473
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 3: chorus would be like, that's racist and that's not acceptable,

474
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 3: and you know this person should be not allowed to

475
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 3: post here. Really, that's what would happen. So the fact

476
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 3: that these numbers are being massaged, I think is a

477
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 3: giant issue. I hope that the right side of the

478
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 3: aisle stays on this and turns it into a bigger

479
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 3: story because it deserves to be.

480
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a strange thing to tell your citizens that

481
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: they're not allowed to want a higher quality of life.

482
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 2: That's right, no matter what color they are or what

483
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: income they are. It's actually your first job as a

484
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 2: government to keep them safe.

485
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 3: Right. I'd rather want to do a whole bunch of

486
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 3: other jobs, but you do that job.

487
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we should have them change those priorities. Maybe Elon

488
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,479
Speaker 2: Musk will be in charge of that.

489
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 3: That would be good. Let's get some Elon on it.

490
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:35,440
