I think the Hollywood Sign is underrated. 334 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: So I was just as researching places to see in Japan, 335 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: and I was like checking out whether like one of 336 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: the you know, you know that intersection where everybody like 337 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: crosses in Tokyo and movies, it's like the establishing shot 338 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: to be like you're in Tokyo. Yeah, yeah, And I 339 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 1: was just like trying to get a sense of like 340 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: is that worth saying or not. 341 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really cool. 342 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I've heard. I've heard that one's really cool. 343 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: But like the that's kind of how I think about 344 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: these things, like the establishing shot thing that a movie 345 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: will use to be like, this is where you are, 346 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: is it worth seeing? And like sometimes it is so 347 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: the Miami sign that they always show as an establishing 348 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 1: shot in movies to say, it's usually like a jet 349 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: landing and then a sign that says welcome to Miami 350 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: that doesn't exist. It was invented for establishing shots, Like 351 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: that sign doesn't actually exist. 352 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 3: I always hear it in Will Smith voice, welcome to my. 353 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: Welcome to Miami. Yeah, the Will Smith sign. 354 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 355 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: But the Hollywood sign I've always thought, I think before 356 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: I moved here, I was like, oh, that's probably just 357 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: like a zero thing, and like it. You sometimes do 358 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 1: see influencers taking pictures like in the middle of the 359 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: street with the Hollywood sign in the background, like ten 360 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: miles away, and it's like Yeah, that sounds like that's 361 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: stupid to you know. Just like get a picture from 362 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 1: like way far away of the Hollywood Sign. It's like 363 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: taking a picture of the moon. You know, it's gonna 364 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: look like shit, it's gonna be tiny. But you can 365 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 1: like hike up near the Hollywood Sign. There's like there's 366 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: a huge reservoir right by the sign. There's so many 367 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: cool hiking paths up there, and it's just like it's giant. 368 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: The hikes are nice. It's an awesome like area of 369 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: town where like nature meets these big Hollywood movie star 370 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: asshole mansions and it's I don't know. And you know, 371 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: I thought we had lost it when that extremely believable 372 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: AI image started making the rounds with it. 373 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 3: And I don't blame them because it's so confusing what's 374 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 3: real and what's not right now, But yeah, we did 375 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 3: not lose the Hollywood Sign. 376 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, I guess it just hit me that it's 377 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: kind of a cool sign, kind of a cool landmark 378 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 1: for a city that doesn't we don't have a lot 379 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: of good land Like the Hollywood Boulevard with like the 380 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: stars on the sidewalk not great.

Yes, that's all very true. 384 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 3: And I also think it's okay for like tourists and 385 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 3: influencers to get excited about these things, because that's like 386 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 3: totally what makes this you know what I mean?

I wonder that would be a cool thing. 500 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: A cool consequence is if he like gets that recognized 501 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: because he did pull out of the World Health Organization. 502 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: So America may soon be out on their own island 503 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: of like what is recognized as healthy or like actual pathologies. 504 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: Maybe we can start getting off work for having the 505 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: woke mind virus. 506 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 3: I am. I'm an overseas citizen of India and I'm 507 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 3: ready to become a non overseas citizen.

Yes, we have mutual aid to do. 513 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. So TikTok did a publicity stunt the like I 514 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: feel like, I don't know, it seems like it was 515 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: a publicity stunt. They like, heading into it, they were like, 516 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: maybe Donald Trump can save us. Then they went dark 517 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: for fourteen hours and then came back with like a 518 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: pop up that essentially said thanks to dear leader Donald Trump, 519 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: we have a second chance at life again. Like he 520 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: didn't do anything other than make it clear that he 521 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: is corrupt, and you know that's all he needs to do. 522 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: He's corrupt, and like the system is going to be 523 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: like he's going to be able to do whatever the 524 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: fuck he wants.

But now this time around, people are going 536 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 3: to monetarily benefit in a real way and they're all in. 537 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 3: They're just all in on it. And if he if 538 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 3: they're committed to him, then it's fine. And that includes 539 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 3: companies like Dick Doc. 540 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, And so there's like the self interested aspect 541 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: of like people at that level, Like, I don't know, 542 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: it feels like there's a lot of things that used 543 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: to be like taking people took relatively seriously, like the 544 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: idea that like corporate goodwill was an okay thing to 545 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: rely on, or that like voting for the lesser of 546 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: two evils was an okay strategy, or that it was 547 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: okay for like the media to you know, adopt that strategy, 548 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: and like, uh, it's just like all these things are 549 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: just crumbling, Like it's making like he right away his 550 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,959 Speaker 1: second administration is just like, yeah, none of those things 551 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: actually are protecting anything, and I am I am God Emperor. 552 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: Like in his inaugeration speech, he was like that God 553 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: saved me from the assassin's bullet and that yeah, God. 554 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 3: That was the worst thing that could have happened for 555 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 3: the campaign at that point. Looking back, he just gained 556 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 3: like momentum from that. 557 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's you know, he's in power.

But I don't know, I just 609 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: feel like we need to accept like the Kendrick Lamar 610 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: thing is also feels like Americans like being unwilling to 611 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: admit we're fucking loose, that we lost, that we're losers that, Like, 612 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, like I feel like people still want 613 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: to believe that we live in a country where you 614 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: can like be right and win, and like we don't. 615 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if the Kendrick Lamar things like the 616 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 1: most clear evidence of that, but it just it feels 617 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,919 Speaker 1: like that's that's a thing we're going to be dealing with, 618 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 1: is everybody in America wanting to be on the winning side. 619 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: And in that case, it's just like we're we're making 620 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: something up so that we don't have to admit what's 621 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: actually going on. In this case, the fantasy where Kendrick 622 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 1: Lamar saved it instead of TikTok claiming that Donald Trump did, I. 623 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 3: Think we're all like that's also trolling. Like I do 624 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 3: think that people want to take the wind out of 625 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 3: his sales or whatever. But I also think we have 626 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,720 Speaker 3: like such an identity crisis because we are a country 627 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 3: of like individualism, the American dream winning, but simultaneously we 628 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,799 Speaker 3: like root for the underdog. We enjoy like aesthetics of 629 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 3: the working class without actually backing any of their policies. 630 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 3: So we have such a contradictory view of ourselves and 631 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 3: what we want or even the right does, you know. 632 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 3: And so I think it's like really hard to have 633 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 3: a clear voice and a clear path on like what 634 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,479 Speaker 3: winning even means when you don't know who you are. 635 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 3: Like we're so confused because we're like like fuck the British, 636 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 3: but we want to look like them, you know, Like 637 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,240 Speaker 3: we're like fuck, fuck all of these people. We started 638 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 3: this country on our own and we threw the tea 639 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 3: in and whatever, but also we want to be like you. 640 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 3: And I think a lot of the colonial aftermath is that, 641 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 3: like that's how like a lot of Indian people are, 642 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 3: is like there they are very like striving to be 643 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 3: like white adjacent or what ever in aesthetic despite like 644 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 3: the harms that colonization have like done to us, you know. 645 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 3: So it's like kind of like Stockholm syndrome if that 646 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:16,359 Speaker 3: were real. But but for like the things that never 647 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 3: served you in the first place that you rebelled against. 648 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 3: We all have daddy issues, is what I'm saying. We 649 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:21,799 Speaker 3: don't know what we're doing. 650 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,800 Speaker 1: It seems like we're it's a mess out here. Yeah, 651 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,359 Speaker 1: all right, let's uh, let's take a quick break. We'll 652 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: come back. We'll keep talking about the inauguration and uh 653 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 1: and other uh horrible things. We'll be right back. That's 654 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 1: and that's called a tease, folks. And we're back and okay. 655 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 1: So Trump's inauguration, first day in office, uh, he started 656 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: doing like signing executive orders in like in a way 657 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: it seems like it was like designed to be a 658 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 1: sporting event. At the end of signing some of them, 659 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,880 Speaker 1: he like threw the markers out into the crowd, like 660 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: it was like a pair of batting gloves after somebody 661 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: hit a home run and everybody like went went wild 662 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: for it. So bad feels feels very dictatory. He like 663 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: I said, he mentioned his speech that God saved his 664 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,840 Speaker 1: life from the assassin's bullet. So this entire administration is 665 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 1: mandated by God. And with that mandate, the entire tone 666 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,319 Speaker 1: just seems to be like I was right, and you're 667 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 1: all like need to admit it. And so he's like 668 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,320 Speaker 1: pulling the US out of the World Health Organization UK. 669 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,280 Speaker 3: But do executive orders really work? If I can't read, 670 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,319 Speaker 3: maybe they're not real at all. 671 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,879 Speaker 1: Who knows that's right? There's actually no way to tell. 672 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: There's no way to know because it's being reported by 673 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people who make you read to check 674 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 1: out their reporting. So boo, I think we're I think 675 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,759 Speaker 1: we're okay to disregard most of this. Talked about ending 676 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 1: the weaponization of government, like and while like it was 677 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: a weird statement, that's basically like the Department of Justice 678 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 1: and FBI are like going to be full time investigating 679 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: people in the Biden White House. So like Biden on 680 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,360 Speaker 1: his way out preemptively like pardoned everyone he can think of, 681 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: like Trump going after including his brothers and yeah, just 682 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:29,839 Speaker 1: like his whole family. Liz Cheney of course, because the 683 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 1: Democrats ore her huge debt and uh but not Jack 684 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:40,240 Speaker 1: Smith though, which sucks for Jack Smith. Not you, my man. Uh, 685 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna take this one for the team. 686 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: He Trump pulled America out of the Climate accord and 687 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: he pardoned basically every January sixth person. I think it's 688 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: worth noting like prior to this, it's been it's pulled 689 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 1: as very unpopular to just be like these people are 690 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 1: all getting out. It just feels like such on corruption. 691 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 3: Overturning Roe v. Wade. They don't give a fuck. 692 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, they just don't give a fuck. I also just 693 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 1: feel like these people getting out, like I don't know 694 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: that one feels like more to come in the worst 695 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 1: most foreboding way possible, Like you know, these people are 696 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 1: going to like be the brown shirts for whatever he's 697 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 1: doing here. 698 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 3: I literally mean this with my whole heart. Like I 699 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:37,720 Speaker 3: was joking about the like not breeding the executive orders, 700 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,240 Speaker 3: but if it goes against your ethics, it doesn't exist 701 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:45,760 Speaker 3: to me. Like I'm sorry, trans and non binary people exist, 702 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 3: and I'm going to help them in any fucking way 703 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 3: possible that I can. Like, if the law of the 704 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 3: land is wrong, protect yourself and be safe, and you know, 705 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 3: the people who can do it work on it more. 706 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 3: But I'm just like, we can't pay attention to it. 707 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 3: We cannot give into it. 708 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, we definitely cannot give into it. There's also like 709 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 1: an intriguing level he's working at now where he's doubling 710 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:15,959 Speaker 1: down on like eighteenth century expansionist rhetoric, like Napoleonic type shit, 711 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,799 Speaker 1: where like the US is going to take new territory 712 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 1: including Greenland to Mars and of course renamed the Gulf 713 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,840 Speaker 1: of America the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. 714 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,800 Speaker 3: So really fucking weird of him to support Napoleonic policies 715 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:30,919 Speaker 3: when Baron is so tall. 716 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: That's right, Yeah, pretty fucked up, that's right, all right. 717 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: On the other hand, like there's just been a lot 718 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 1: of reporting in the past week about like what we're 719 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 1: learning about the Biden administration and how they handled the 720 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:51,440 Speaker 1: siege of Gaza, So in many ways it's pretty straightforward. 721 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 1: They just didn't actually care enough to stop Israel, Like 722 00:41:54,760 --> 00:42:00,120 Speaker 1: they weren't willing to stop them. Israel knew it. And 723 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 1: since one of the details that jumped out to me 724 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 1: Biden in an exit interview last week emitted like that 725 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 1: on the ninth day of the war, Netanya who said 726 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 1: he wanted to do to Gaza what the US did 727 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 1: to Hiroshima in World War two. So literally, like every 728 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,400 Speaker 1: time blinken or state official got up and said, well, 729 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 1: we're looking into it, and uh, you know, Israel is 730 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,080 Speaker 1: investigating in good faith, like they knew that she was 731 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 1: a lot Like I think we knew that time. But 732 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:31,280 Speaker 1: it's like that the ninth day, like after they started, 733 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,839 Speaker 1: you know, committing wark rhymes, they like they knew what 734 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,840 Speaker 1: their intent was fully, they they knew that Israel was 735 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: bent on full scale destruction of Gaza from day one. 736 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 3: It's so fucking evil. It is so evil. Like now 737 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 3: that the ceasefires happened, people are posting videos of like 738 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,760 Speaker 3: all of the martyrs of Gaza and like the people 739 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,839 Speaker 3: that the stories that reached us that we and like 740 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,799 Speaker 3: there's so many that I remember and those people are 741 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:05,240 Speaker 3: gone and it's because of these fucking assholes. Yeah, so evil. 742 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, like you another detail from behind the scenes, Like 743 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,319 Speaker 1: you need to go through tons of red tape to 744 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 1: use the word condemn around like Israeli settlers demolishing Palestinian 745 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,719 Speaker 1: homes in the West Bank. Like they they're officials who 746 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,840 Speaker 1: are like trying to trying to just say that the 747 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 1: US condemns that, like and it took them like weeks 748 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 1: and like they're they're doing it like because it's a 749 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 1: horrible war crime, but also like from a self interested perspective, 750 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,360 Speaker 1: being like this is a terrible look, like all the 751 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,759 Speaker 1: stuff that people were saying during the election, like this 752 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 1: is going to be bad for you, and just getting 753 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:49,760 Speaker 1: ignored or told it's too late to change a decision. Yeah, 754 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 1: it's so. 755 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 3: Bad at their jobs. In addition to being bad people, 756 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 3: they're just at their jobs. Also a side note, even 757 00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 3: though the ceasefires happened and I'm still concerned, but I 758 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,440 Speaker 3: want Gazans to be happy, the West Bank is still 759 00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:09,400 Speaker 3: getting violated, so keep that in mind. 760 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, the West Bank is seems like it's the next 761 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:17,839 Speaker 1: phase of the plan for Israel Is to like try 762 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:19,279 Speaker 1: and take that over. 763 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,239 Speaker 3: And they don't allow concrete into Gaza, so like how 764 00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,280 Speaker 3: are they going to rebuild? Yeah, like that's insane. 765 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's just the Democratic Party. It's very frustrating 766 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 1: because they were so incompetent and passive and weak and 767 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,759 Speaker 1: also just evil. You know. It's not just like that 768 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 1: they were insufficiently good at getting Israel to stop like 769 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 1: they were on board with this vision. Yeah, and so 770 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,360 Speaker 1: now it makes Trump look like he's a genius because 771 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,879 Speaker 1: he's just says actually, I don't want this because it's 772 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,440 Speaker 1: a bad look for me and is able to like 773 00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 1: make more progress than Biden was. 774 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 3: But also he was also so helping set up the 775 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:06,359 Speaker 3: conditions that led to October seventh, like through everything he 776 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,719 Speaker 3: did while he was president, Like he's they're all just 777 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 3: playing a game. That's why they sat together, That's why 778 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 3: it was. If they really thought he was a fascist, 779 00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,319 Speaker 3: would they be like glad handing him? Would him and 780 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 3: Obama be chatting it up?

But I don't know. Yeah, even if 801 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 1: we want to temper our hope with like knowledge of 802 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:27,319 Speaker 1: how America always let Israel do whatever it wants, I 803 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,680 Speaker 1: don't know. If it gets people some hope, they certainly 804 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,680 Speaker 1: fucking deserve it at this point. Yeah, yeah, all right. 805 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:38,799 Speaker 1: And finally, there is a historic blizzard warning happening in 806 00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:44,759 Speaker 1: like Texas and Louisiana right now, which is abnormal here 807 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 1: that Ted. 808 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,640 Speaker 3: Cruz, you might want to buy your tickets out. 809 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:51,840 Speaker 1: Now get to Kang Kun's stat my man. But this 810 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,640 Speaker 1: is yet another sort of we've talked about the disruption 811 00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,120 Speaker 1: of patterns that have held for like hundreds of years 812 00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:02,839 Speaker 1: in the global you know, weather systems that are now 813 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:08,520 Speaker 1: being disrupted by globalism, by and feminism, mainly feminism, but. 814 00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,800 Speaker 3: He's feminist, guy jobs.

Like so, first of all, 818 00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,320 Speaker 1: climate scientists seem to be the people to be listening 819 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:29,000 Speaker 1: to in all cases, but especially when it comes to 820 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:33,719 Speaker 1: these like natural disasters that are harming us and you know, 821 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,800 Speaker 1: burning people's homes down. But like there's a climate scientist 822 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:42,040 Speaker 1: Daniel Swain of UCLA who wrote a blog post on 823 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,120 Speaker 1: January fourth, at the beginning of the week warning that 824 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 1: a high end offshore wind fire event Manfold and Soco 825 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:52,400 Speaker 1: this week, and people like him have been writing about 826 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 1: this kind of whiplash effect where the warmer weather makes 827 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,400 Speaker 1: it so that more and more precipitation is dumped on, 828 00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,799 Speaker 1: like when there's a rainy season in the winter, like 829 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,600 Speaker 1: it gets really super rainy, and so there's tons of 830 00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 1: plants that grow. And then when it's dry, like it 831 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,440 Speaker 1: gets much drier, like super dry. And so that's what 832 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,400 Speaker 1: like this kind of whiplash thing where it's like the 833 00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,920 Speaker 1: extremes are more extreme, is caused by climate and it 834 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,799 Speaker 1: is like what is causing these fire conditions? And I 835 00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:30,400 Speaker 1: feel like we're seeing that now with this polar vortex 836 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 1: going down to the south, which I in a way 837 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,200 Speaker 1: that like I didn't totally understand, but kind of doing 838 00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:40,279 Speaker 1: research into it, I guess the explanation is that there's 839 00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,640 Speaker 1: like a spinning polar vortex on the at the very 840 00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,600 Speaker 1: top of the globe that keeps like all the Arctic 841 00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,400 Speaker 1: air up there. But as it gets warmer, it like 842 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 1: it's like a spinning figure skater who like if you 843 00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,080 Speaker 1: like put your arms out, you slow down. Like as 844 00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,720 Speaker 1: it slows down, it like starts letting cold air out 845 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,920 Speaker 1: further and further, and so like cold air starts shooting 846 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,560 Speaker 1: down to like Texas and like places that didn't used 847 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,719 Speaker 1: to have it. And again it's like, you know, a 848 00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,640 Speaker 1: direct result that has been predicted by climate scientists. It's 849 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,520 Speaker 1: just nobody's really been listening. But anyways, now we're gonna 850 00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:21,400 Speaker 1: like see more weird apocalyptic shit. But like also like 851 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:27,400 Speaker 1: fun in some cases, like the Atlanta getting snow was cute. 852 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,240 Speaker 3: It was I mean, what people were doing on social 853 00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,360 Speaker 3: media was cute. Yeah, for sure. There was like somebody 854 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,640 Speaker 3: who took their dog for a walk and the dog 855 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,600 Speaker 3: just like climbed into their hoodie because they were like 856 00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:41,920 Speaker 3: what the fuck is there? Or like people like trying, 857 00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,840 Speaker 3: like seeing snow for the first time, which was really sweet, 858 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:49,120 Speaker 3: but also in general, this is not what's supposed to. 859 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 1: Happen, right, it doesn't happen here. Yeah, put a dog 860 00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,319 Speaker 1: crawling into a hoodie, Well we'll take it. We need 861 00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:57,960 Speaker 1: we need some. 862 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:03,360 Speaker 3: This is our are on band TikTok. The dog crawling 863 00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,800 Speaker 3: into the hoodie is what we're latching onto. 864 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,560 Speaker 1: That's right, all right, Paula Vigan, allam, what a pleasure 865 00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,440 Speaker 1: having you as always?
