Speaker 1: be returns to what we are doing is working, which

51
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: feels pretty good because from my end, this is not

52
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: feel like work at all. I'm the days stretch out

53
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: forever in front of me and nothing has meaning I'm

54
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,400

00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: able to speak to you too. Man. That must be

57
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: interesting to be in a country where people respect and

58
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: trust the authority. Figures. Yeah, look, I didn't I don't

59
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: want to wait to these milky waters. But look, the

60
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: read from abroad here is that this this president of yours.

61
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 1: It tunes out this guy might not be so good

62
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: at his job at all. He might not be the

63
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: finished article. Huh. Alright, guy, we're gonna get to know

64
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're

65
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking

66
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: about today. We're gonna pour one out for burning his

67
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: campaign and American democracy. Uh, We're gonna take stock of

68
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: where we stand overall. I just feel I feel like

69
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: we we need to some some added context of just

70
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: how bad uh we are doing in terms of uh,

71
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: you know, the spread of the coronavirus in this country

72
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: and our handling of the crisis. The inspector General that

73
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: was supposed to look at the bailout money uh mysteriously, Uh,

74
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: no longer in that position. Trump has installed one of

75
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: his own, his own folk. There might be a surveillance

76
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: state coming, which would be fun to give some of

77
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: the people who are the very people who are fucking

78
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: this thing up so so badly a little bit more

79
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: power over our lives. Jared Kushner's team is seeking a

80
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: national surveillance state for healthcare, which, as we saw in

81
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: the aftermath of nine eleven. They do it when there's

82
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: a crisis on and then let it ride for the

83
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: next twenty years, and you know, use it in really

84
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: abusive ways. We're gonna ask the question, is Trump genuinely

85
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,119
Speaker 1: too dumb for this crisis? He just he doesn't seem

86
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,119
Speaker 1: to be able to view this in any terms other

87
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: than zero sum. You know, he's hoarding masks to the

88
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: federal government from local hospitals. He's like seizing their masks.

89
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: So they're also also seizing shipments of ppe going to

90
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: other countries that are our allies. And like what is

91
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: like modern day piracy? Which is like that that that Nope,

92
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: that's not going to camp that that's not going to Germany,

93
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: that's staying here. Yeah, we're gonna check in with the

94
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: person everybody's but wanting to hear from, Martin Sharelly. We

95
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: are going to look at why Jaws is genuinely the

96
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: movie of the epidemic of this moment. We're gonna look

97
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: at some core acts, uh, and a guy who fell

98
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: on a knife sculpture um just to catch up with

99
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: some needless trips to the e er to remind us

100
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: of a simpler time. But first, guy, we like to

101
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: ask our guests. What is something from your search history

102
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: that's revealing about who you are or where we are

103
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: as a people. There would be types of gloves. I

104
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: recently acuded me this this could be a boon time

105
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: for big glove, and I still just wanted to see,

106
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: you know, what the varieties of gloves are out there,

107
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: and so I looked up types of gloves, hoping to

108
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: find some sort of comprehensive list. Um, but no one's

109
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: done that work yet, so you know, there's a huge

110
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: gap in the market with it. There's no conclusive list.

111
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm thinking I was thinking of gardening,

112
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: washing up heat resistant. There you go, get the funk

113
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: out of here with you. Stop treating your hands like feet, Miles, Okay,

114
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: sittings aren't glove. This is the work we have to do.

115
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: Though to wait until Miles only wears those uh toe

116
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: articulated socks though, that's an important piece of context. You

117
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: know what's you know what, It's gonna blow your fucking

118
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: mind right now. No, he really has socks on that

119
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: have a big toe articulation. They're Japanese socks for tabi

120
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: when you were Japanese sandals these Okay, how do they

121
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: How do they feel without the sandal? Oh? They feel great.

122
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I love it. I grew up kind

123
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: of with this feeling on my feet, so I'm look,

124
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: I'm going back to comfort. Baby. I got the tuppy

125
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: socks on. That's why it was so funny. Like he's

126
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: got articulated sucks, a lobster cloth foot stop cigaretting the toes.

127
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 1: They all lived together, big toe though, crucial for balance,

128
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: crucial for balance, and crucial for picking things up. Yeah

129
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: I can have a tennis but with my toes, No,

130
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: you can. Yeah, yeah I can. I've got really flixy toes. Alright,

131
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: that's pretty impressive to see that. I like to keep

132
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: them all together so that they're on the same team.

133
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: Got it. Look, I gotta tell you I'm only pretending

134
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: to be impressed by that. I can actually throw a

135
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: curve ball with my toes. My toes are so long

136
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: and finger like, but throw a lot of off speed

137
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: pitches with that left foot exactly. Tim Wakefield over here, Uh,

138
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: what is something you think is underrated? Guy? For me, Jack,

139
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: it's got to be washing your hands. I wish someone

140
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: had I wish someone had told me about this before

141
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: you know too many years now, I've been trapesing around

142
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: with all this muck on my hands, and look, I

143
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 1: don't want to, you know, forecast it too really, but

144
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: I think that this is a trend that is that's

145
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: here to stay. Oh man, do you have any new

146
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: ways of washing your hands? Have you been experimenting or

147
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: just doing a traditional digital wash? Fingers? Yeah, just your

148
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: traditional digital wash. Scored to Skimble Shanks the railway Cat,

Speaker 1: can really unite behind Skimble Shanks. Um. It absolutely slaps. Absolutely.

154
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: It's also very very triumphant. I feel like that would

155
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: be a good way to to wash. By the time

156
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: it rolls around and Tom Hooper's cats, you couldn't be

157
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: happier to see old Skimble. I mean, we've just watched

158
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: a sort of three minute interpretive orgy dance and what

159
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: you really wanted some lights in your life. So he's

160
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: been he's been scoring my hand washing and I'm living

161
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: a great time. And since you're making a Cat's reference.

162
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: I must ask you, have you seen the latest iteration

163
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: of the musical I the movie? Yes, mate, it's a

164
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: butt hole cut. I was leading to that to say

165
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: if you have, and then from their goal one step

166
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: further are demanding to see the butt hole cut. I am.

167
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: I am one of those people who is absolutely you know,

168
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: I'd climb over another person to watch the butt hole cut.

169
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: My friend and podcast co host Tim Batt, who we

170
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: do a podcast called The Worst So of All Time.

171
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: We're watching review the same band movie every week for

172
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: a year. We did a little mini series back in

173
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: the days when you could leave the house to go

174
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: to the cinema called Our Week with Cats, where we

175
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: went and watched Cats every day for a week. Um,

176
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: and so I've got a pretty intimate relationship to it.

177
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: I would love to see any variant on that film.

178
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: We're still waiting for Tom Hooper's direct this commentary to

179
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: be released down here, but when it comes out rest

180
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: as short, I look forward to finding out what that

181
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: guy was trying to do, just hearing his like thought.

182
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: Fraser absolutely when it comes to handwashing, I highly recommend

183
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: people check out. There are a couple of YouTube videos

184
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: of a surgeon scrubbing in for surgery. Obviously you don't

185
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: have to do everything that they do, but I do

186
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 1: think that it's it's a good way of like kind

187
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: of getting your mind around the like very basic dynamics

188
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: of hand washing, which is like you're trying to loosen

189
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: the dirt off of the dirt and germs off of

190
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: your hands, as opposed to just getting soap on your

191
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: hands to kill the germs, like you're really trying to

192
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: work in them. Yeah, just getting Remember my orthodonist when

193
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: I would go there and before he would ever you know,

194
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: put even his gloves on to do like an exam

195
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: of my braces or whatever. The way he washed his

196
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: fingertips is almost like the Italian guy, hey, hey, what's

197
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: the matter with you? With his fingertips? And I would

198
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: always be like, what the fund is this guy doing

199
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: washing his like his hands like this little circles on

200
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: the fingertips. Yeah, He's like, oh, I'm like right, he's

201
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: putting his hands in my fucking mouth, and he's like

202
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: ensuring even the tips of his fingers are clean. That's

203
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: what he sees to the Jim's because that what's the

204
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: matter with you? That that Kiwi version of a New

205
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: York Italian accent is amazing. Guy, what do he makes?

206
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: Chiwi vision? That's a that's just snuffed by anyone standing.

207
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: I couldn't quite lean into it with as much emphasis

208
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: as I would like, because there are, of course sleeping

209
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: housemates to continue. Is there a four year old to

210
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: sleep directly next to you? You know? Okay, that's cleverly

211
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: chose the time in the four year old is not

212
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: to sleep next to me. Okay, that's good. What is

213
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated? Once more? Boys, I don't

214
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: want to ruffle any feathers, but COVID nineteen. I'll be

215
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: the first to come out here and say this is

216
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: a bad virus. It's making people sick, it's distracting people's lives,

217
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: it's dominating the news cycle. And you might think it's

218
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: a weird hell to die on, but I'm against it.

219
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: This is some bullshit. Hey man, I'm glad somebody's saying yeah, Like,

220
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: there are certain things that I feel like are too

221
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: controversial for Miles and I had to say, but it's

222
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: good to have somebody on who's brave enough to just

223
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: come out and say it. Yeah. I do like can

224
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: that feels like a weight off of my shoulders for

225
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: some reason. But yeah, hopefully, yeah, hopefully that loosens up

226
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: other people's stances so we can all unite behind the

227
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: idea that this is not good. I will And since

228
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: your question in New Zealand, is there, what's the cohort

229
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: of Kiwi's that are like parallel to our American right

230
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: wing people who are like, it's a joke, man, it's

231
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: this is getting it all messed up? Kewe is to

232
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: culturally like of sound mind and believe science. Like, all right,

233
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: we'll take that seriously. I don't want to upset you, Miles.

234
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: I think initially there was certainly some skepticism, but um,

235
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: once once the obvious weight of the whole thing dawned

236
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: on us as a nation. And also, we don't we've

237
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: We've got this one sort of blow hard pundit who

238
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: represents Fox News and New ze On, the guy called

239
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: Mike Hosking. He's sort of he he represents your entire

240
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: right wing news cycle, where he will change his opinion

241
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: daily depending on what he thinks. We'll stoke people's fire

242
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: or whatever. But there's no opportunity for a mainstream voice

243
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: or collection of opinions to rise in New Zealand. Largely

244
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: it's it's been incredible, like everyone has genuinely rallied around

245
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: our Prime minister's orders. And I don't really know what

246
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: to tell you, mate. I think where it's not a

247
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: reality Yeah, yeah, I think again, Like we were saying

248
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: even yesterday's episode, it's just it. Honestly, it's the worst

249
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: infomercial for the United States ever, this whole pandemic and

250
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, yeah, you guys stuck this place was

251
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: we had it together over here? Brutal because for so

252
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: long America has done a brilliant job of broadcasting itself

253
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: and just everything that's happening within your country in high

254
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: definition to the rest of the world. Like as an outsider,

255
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: you're not just a standard bereera, but you are the

256
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: source to which we differ for information and entertainment. And

257
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: so to see the other side of that constant broadcast

258
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: where it's like everything is going wrong, it's a it's

259
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: a genuinely brutal watch. Is that kind of the how

260
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: are I mean? Obviously you can't speak for everyone else

261
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: who's not American and the rest of the world, but

262
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: is there like some genuine challenge. Okay, can you speak

263
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: for every every single person was not American. That's the

264
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: reason I'm up so early is because I was just

265
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: on a conference call with the rest of the world.

266
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: Is it being kind of is America being viewed with

267
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: kind of grim fascination slash dread. Yeah, it's this sort

268
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: of been this precipitous slide where because you've had the

269
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: same president for the last three years, the erosion of

270
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: not respect but just expectation has been dipping, and so

271
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: it's just like it's the worst possible president at the

272
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: worst possible time. I mean, it's sort of even in

273
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: the worst part of Trump's presidency before this, it felt

274
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: like the damage, the overwhelming damage to the psyche and

275
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: the presentation of America could not last forever. But now

276
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: he's sort of been given this pandemic, which means that

277
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: how terrible he is will genuinely leave a stain on

278
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: America for I don't know how long. It's the perception

279
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: In short, Jack, the perception from us over here is

280
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: not good. Back to here and here first, the rest

281
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: of the world kind of cringing, we've noticed. Fuck man,

282
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: just wait till we reelect this motherfucker it's going to

283
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: be So it's gonna be a real, real kick to

284
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: the balls of America's international reputation. Uh And and finally,

285
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: what is a myth? Guy? What what's something people think

286
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: is true you know, to be false or vice versa. Well, previously,

287
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: I think a lot of a lot of people we've

288
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: been under laboring under the false premise that fire was

289
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: invented in the caves of Israel roughly four hundred, three

290
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: hundred thousand years ago. But even even from here, even

291
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: from this sort of isolated position, a little bird has

292
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: come along and told me about a man named Prometheus.

293
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: He didn't much care for the way that Zeus was

294
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: was treating humans, the sort of the disparaging relationship ahead

295
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: to them. And so one day this titan of man Prometheus,

296
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: heh well, what did he do if he didn't sneak

297
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: up to Mount Olympus itself and stole fire from her?

298
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: Festus that, yeah, that's right, and he brought that back

299
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: down to humanity so that we could exchange and news

300
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: fire liberally. And you're going to be upset to hear that.

301
00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: Zeus caught window of this, and he was fusurious really

302
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: really pissed off, and so he checked down Prometheus, and

303
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: using Hephistus's skills as a as the god of labor

304
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: or something like that, he chained him to a rock

305
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: and then he'd send an eagle down to hack away

306
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: at Prometheus's liver, and for thirty years Prometheus would would

307
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: would have his liver hacket by a hawk and took himself. Gosh,

308
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: I wish I hadn't when got that fire for everyone,

309
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: I hope they're grateful. I hope this doesn't get you know,

310
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: I hope that the credit for this doesn't get, you know,

311
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: miscast upon those people who were in caves three to

312
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand years ago, and so I guess I'm

313
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: sort of here on behalf of him and virtually is

314
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: by the way, who freedom. But yeah, just something to

315
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: clear out. Thank you, Thank you for clearing that up

316
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: for the world. I think now more than ever we

317
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: need you need to know the truth. Yeah, absolutely, thank

318
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: you for that moment of clarity. Well, speaking of gods

319
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: of labor, Bernie Sanders has dropped out of the presidential

320
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: race and now it's down to Biden versus Trump. Uh,

321
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: this is just all around very depressing day, I think

322
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: for American democracy or yesterday was I guess, yeah, I mean, honestly,

323
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: I think when you see how awful things are because

324
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: of coronavirus and all of the vulnerabilities that we have

325
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: and all of the myriad of ways that at even

326
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: a lot of candidates who have already dropped out, we're

327
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: offering solutions to things like this in as part of

328
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: their platform. And then to go to a guy who's like, Yeah,

329
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna love your employer provided insurance even if you're furloughed,

330
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,719
Speaker 1: You'll pay for it, even if you're furlough or whatever.

331
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: We'll pay for COVID nineteen treatment. But like any other

332
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: medical expense you have, could you're on the hook for

333
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: that because that's what we're doing here. Yeah, I think

334
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: it's really it's it's frustrating time. I think for everyone

335
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: who worked on the campaign, uh and gave hours of

336
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: their life, like any campaign, it fucking sucks. Uh. So yeah,

337
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: I don't don't. I don't really know to say. I

338
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: think this seemed like a foregone conclusion. The second a

339
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: lot of the Super Tuesday antics started going down in

340
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 1: terms of like the brute force getting behind of Joe

341
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: Biden all at once. Um. But yeah, you know, appreciate

342
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: everything that Bernie Sanders has done because he pulled the

343
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: party to the left after the sixteen he pulled the

344
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: party to the left even more this time. But we man,

345
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: there's still so there's still so much work we have

346
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: to do. Still still so much. Yeah. Natalie Sure, who

347
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: I think has always been a very like, smart and

348
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,239
Speaker 1: reasonable commentator on all of this while being you know,

349
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: uh uh Sandra supporter uh tweeted, my hot take is

350
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: the Bernie loss because reorienting an entrenched capitalist party around

351
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: a robust working class agenda and organizing a majority of

352
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: primary voters behind it is extremely hard. And I think

353
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 1: that is a good description of the herculean guy task

354
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: that the Sandra supporters and the um the left head

355
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: to undertake just to get to where they got with

356
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: Sanders winning the states that he won. You know, I

357
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: I also don't think we should underestimate how uh you know,

358
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: deadly this is, how how bad this is for American democracy. Um.

359
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: We talked in a recent episode about how the economic

360
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: hardship caused by the American health care system on average

361
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: everyday Americans. Historians looked at it and said it was

362
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: on on par with the Treaty of Versize. You know,

363
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: economic hardship imposed on Germans and that obviously led to

364
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: the rise of Hitler and Nazism. And you know this

365
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: is this was a chance to try and kind of

366
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: address that problem in a way that would have been

367
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: productive and proactive and actually address the problem. And it

368
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: seems like we're kicking that can down the road a

369
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: little bit further. And you know that that problem is

370
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: going to metastasize if if we keep assuming that we

371
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: can just uh continue with business as usual, that problem

372
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: is going to metastasize into and I mean we're already

373
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: seeing it metastasize, but it's going to get a lot

374
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: worse until we can actually address the problem in a

375
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: in a way that's constructive. Yeah. The perceiption from Dan

376
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: he it's again failers is it's well, it's it's bad,

377
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: a mistake, a mistake has been made. I mean, I

378
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: don't I don't want to frame this in an insensitive way,

379
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: but to watch something like this, which is like almost

380
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: an advertorial for the values of a public health care

381
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: system roll out at a time when America or at

382
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 1: least the Democratic primaries is turning its back on the

383
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: like only feasible solution to not just a response to this,

384
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: but any other Like if if COVID nineteen has the

385
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: capability to to you know, rip through the world like this,

386
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: who used to say that something else might not do

387
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: it again? And like I do you think there would

388
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: have been any difference in the outcome? Like the election

389
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: cycle has been totally shunted aside at least from the

390
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: news cycle that I'm receiving. Not not totally, but it's just,

391
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 1: you know, for for how prominently there's been previously, it's

392
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: on the back burner. If this had happened, if the

393
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: timing had been different and COVID nineteen started taking such

394
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: a global impact as it did prior to other candidates

395
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,719
Speaker 1: dropping out, and Bernie could actually pivot and powerfully positioned

396
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: himself in front of this as opposed to sort of

397
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: having this platform disrupted by people being less interested in

398
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: assuming that Biden was the winner by the time that

399
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: this attacking effect, would they have made any difference? Do

400
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: you think? I think it probably would have. I think

401
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: the you know again, it's the the one effect of

402
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: the whole pandemic here is it's laying bare all of

403
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: the inefficiencies and inequalities that we have here, like in

404
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: a very aggressive way. And I think a lot of

405
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,959
Speaker 1: people I think the reason why it's hard for us

406
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: a candidate like Bernie Sanders to truly, truly, truly reach

407
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: a majority and like be able to have a movement

408
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: that can sort of uh even see passed any like

409
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: powerful mainstream media messaging around a candidate is that we

410
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: need to reach a tipping point as a as a population,

411
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 1: as a oting group where everyone understands what the stakes are.

412
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: There's still too many competing explanations for why people are disenfranchised,

413
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 1: and we haven't fully settled. There's clearly a group of

414
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: progressives that have a very clear understanding of why we

415
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: have such systemic inequality in this country. There are other

416
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: people who have many other theories and some that don't

417
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: want to look as aggressively at the capitalist system and

418
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: the corporatocracy that operates this country. Um And I think

419
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: until we reach that genuine tipping point, it's going to

420
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: be very hard because at the end of the day,

421
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: the people running the messages are the people that are

422
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: the most wealthy so um with this. You know this,

423
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people suddenly were in the reality who

424
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: may have been saying like, yeah, I don't I like

425
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: my employee provided health insurance. But I wonder how many

426
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: people now if they've been if they've lost their employment

427
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: because of this pandemic, have no insurance, are fearing a pandemic,

428
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: are worried that, like, well, what if I even just

429
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: hurt myself in the course of day to day life

430
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: during a quarantine without health insurance. It would be great

431
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: to have health insurance no matter what. I think that

432
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: peace might be coming into view a little bit more.

433
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: But again, it's it's it's hard because everyone's motivations are different,

434
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: and we haven't reached that point of like really unifying

435
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: across all kinds of socioeconomic classes to be able to

436
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,479
Speaker 1: have a as powerful movement as we need. Yeah, and

437
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: you would have needed the mainstream media to get behind him,

438
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: I think a little bit more. And I just don't

439
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: think that was ever gonna happen, And I don't think

440
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: the d n C was ever There's just too much

441
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: money at stake for UH, for the wealthy in the

442
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 1: country to allow someone like that to UH to get

443
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: the momentum required to become the nominee as someone who's

444
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: living in America without insurance, like I travel insurance, but

445
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: I didn't have actual health insurance in America. Heaving New

446
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: Zealand is the place I'm from being able to come back,

447
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: I cannot describe, like the wave of reliefe that this

448
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,479
Speaker 1: port I've me and telling all of my friends who

449
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: are in America to come, like to return home, like

450
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: the idea of I mean, and this is an experience

451
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: that Americans are living without the stock gap of being

452
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: from a different country where universal health care is as

453
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: a given. It's like the idea of being in America

454
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 1: at this time and falling through the cracks of that

455
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: medical system, or like being exposed to just how brutal

456
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: it is is a I can't even fatom it. It's

457
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: totally totally overwhelming, and like that I woke up this

458
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: morning to to read that Bernie News and I just

459
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: was I mean, it was it was a foregone conclusion,

460
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: but it's still a gap punch. We have a unique

461
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: mentality in this country where we have been socialized and

462
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: messaged into a pattern of thinking where needing help is

463
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: un American because we we give people help. We don't

464
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: need help because we were for the fucking best and

465
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: if we're the best, we never need fucking help. And

466
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: we're used to a certain level of mr treatment as

467
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: citizens where it's like, yeah, well that's kind of we're

468
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: we're not we're not a country where we're used to

469
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: saying well, you need to help me then, or like

470
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: then you then someone else needs to sort this out.

471
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: It's sort of like, shit, I guess we got to

472
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: figure this out on our own because we're strong enough

473
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: to do it. And that's just the way we think.

474
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: Because we shame. We shame people into needing help, We

475
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: shame the poor, and we have this culture of that

476
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: of having such a stigma around not having that we're

477
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: unable to actually exercise any kind of sympathy or empathy

478
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: towards those people. And it's and that's what we're seeing.

479
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: It's it's eating us alive inside. Yeah, all right, let's

480
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: take a quick break and h we'll be right back,

481
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: and we're back. I do want to just take a

482
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: quick look. I feel like we're in the stream of

483
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: the news cycle, so we're all paying attention from one

484
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: moment to the next, and I don't think p bowl

485
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: in our country take a step back and really appreciate

486
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: how badly we uh fucked the coronavirus response up. We

487
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: have the highest number of coronavirus cases at this point

488
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: of the top five countries by population in the world.

489
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: We have the lowest population density by far. Um. You know,

490
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: we have more people traveling, so that you could you

491
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: could maybe give that as an excuse, but I think

492
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: that's also I mean, it shouldn't be underestimated that the

493
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: fact that we travel on commercial aircraft which don't clean

494
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: like they're not cleaned in between people coming on and

495
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: off because uh, you know, germs are not a thing

496
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: that shows up, and uh you know, it's just very

497
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: symptomatic of a late stage American capitalism and uh you know,

498
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: just the the system at work. Uh So, I don't know,

499
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: it's a it's not a it's not an accident. We

500
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: are where we are. And it's the answer to like

501
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: out of a hundred of these questions as to why

502
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: the response is so bad is capitalism. Why aren't the

503
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: planes cleaned more? Why aren't Why isn't that more? Will

504
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: that cost more money and that means less profits? So

505
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: we won't do that. Oh okay, well, why don't we

506
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: have more hospital capacity built out? Will that costs more

507
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: money and that means less profits. So we're not going

508
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: to do that. Why are we having Why aren't we

509
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: just moving some of these up, like a protective equipment

510
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: around to the hospitals that needed, rather than setting off

511
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: bidding wars between our own states. Oh that's because that

512
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: will means we'll lose money, and that means less profits.

513
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: That's that's that's the explanation of sucking everything, And it's

514
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: it really, it's really fucked up and cruel because we're

515
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: looking at all of the all of this behavioral with

516
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: the backdrop of preventable death. Obviously there are people who

517
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: we we can't save every single person. That's just a

518
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: scientific reality. But my god, we could have done a

519
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: lot more, and we can still be doing a lot more.

520
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: It's it's at India, look at South Korea, look at

521
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: a lot of other countries that have handled this much better.

522
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: America is a particularly now. Again, it's a difficult time,

523
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: I think because it is it's fifty I mean, it

524
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: is essentially fifty fifty independent sovereign nations or whatever operating

525
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: under the banner of the United States. And then when

526
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: the person that you defer to as the overriding leader

527
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: has no clear messaging or semblance of an idea of

528
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: what they're confronting, then everyone has left their own devices

529
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: and there's no one to defer to or like look

530
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: at like the role of communication here. Again, I don't

531
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: want to sound like a brag, but just it's just

532
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: the stark contrast is like our prime minister is giving

533
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 1: daily updates that broadcast across all of our media. Our

534
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: president guy, yeah, yeah, he's actually he's writing, he's writing

535
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: the pants off ours. But it's just like the you know,

536
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: across political lines, like the unity that as a nation,

537
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: New Zealand citizens have responded to the idea that this

538
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: is what we need to do to confront what's happening,

539
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: and there's no opportunity for uncertainty. I mean there is,

540
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, to some to some degree, for various different

541
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: fasons of society, but the overall humanity you know, element

542
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: of it where everyone's like absolutely, you know this is

543
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: you're telling us what to do. It's been laid out

544
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: very clearly. The messages are so clear. It's just so

545
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: it's so different, it makes it it makes it look

546
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: like it's almost an impossibility in America to do the

547
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: same thing because there is so divided, there is no

548
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: unity behind any core idea, like the defending the flames

549
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,719
Speaker 1: of uncertainty about whether or not this is real or

550
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: like how seriously to take it. I mean, it's it's

551
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: like the conversation is caught six months ago at a

552
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: time when it it just it can't be. Yeah, And

553
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: I think that, uh, when when it comes to specifically, Miles,

554
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: you mentioned the idea of you know, the distribution of

555
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: PP and all these uh distribution of medical supplies and

556
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: aid and all all the things that that that I

557
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: think is unique to this administration in addition to a

558
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: guy this stuff you're talking about where there's just no

559
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: coherent strategy being communicated. But m there's no there's no

560
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: there's no acknowledgement of the humanity of the situation. That's

561
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: what's the fucking problem. But when it comes to just

562
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: like straight up mind boggling, like unprecedented levels of incompetence,

563
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,919
Speaker 1: I think, I do think the distribution of of the

564
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: you know, things that are needed, uh for this specific emergency,

565
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: like that this is something we've seen with him from

566
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: the start that he's incapable of viewing, uh, the U.

567
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 1: S Government like as like you should be able to

568
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: view the US government, and instead he views it as

569
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,959
Speaker 1: his own business to run. And so you know, we

570
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: we saw it early on in his presidency with his

571
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: inability to like view international trade as like a thing

572
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: where rising tides, uh you know, rise all boats. It's

573
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,479
Speaker 1: it's a thing where like it's a zero sum game

574
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: where he has to like get over on his opponent.

575
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: And now we're starting to see that even with the

576
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: distribution of aid, like with the federal government seizing uh

577
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: you know, masks and healthcare equipment from hospitals and from

578
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: state level governments because I don't know, because he feels

579
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: like he's in competition with them, and because like you

580
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: saw that in some of his statements at his daily

581
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: briefing where he is, yeah, he's like viewing it as

582
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: a US versus them thing. He's everyone off and not

583
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: preparing themselves. And with the other hand, he's literally taking

584
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: what little supply they have to bolster the argument, and

585
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: he's otherwise making like that's the thing with everything, well, capitalism,

586
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 1: particularly the money comes out somewhere and a pandemic, like

587
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: you know, a pandemic that's ripping through the nation. It's

588
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: one of the last places you want to see the

589
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: money come at. Yeah, but even I mean, this isn't

590
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: even profitable. This is just him being too dumb for

591
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: the moment, Like he's just not up to it. Like

592
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: there's this article where in Yahoo about the FED seizing

593
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: masks from hospitals, and the doctors are like, are they

594
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: stockpiling the stuff or they distributing it? We don't know,

595
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: and are we going to ever get any of it?

596
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: It's just like, what could possibly be a better use

597
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: of masks and hospital equipment than hospitals that are fighting

598
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: the coronavirus right now? Like, what what does he think is?

599
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: What does he think he's doing. He's gonna like save

600
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 1: it for a rainy day, like this is about as

601
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: rainy as they get, man, it'll be. It's literally so

602
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: he can give a priest conference in front of a

603
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: mountain of masks. You can say, look at all the

604
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: masques we've got. Yeah, yeah, maybe, I mean yeah, I

605
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: mean not to mention this. The hard pushing of hydroxy

606
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: chloroquine is like this miracle cure and like people are

607
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: still trying to figure out if he has a stake

608
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: in that and who the people who do have a

609
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: stake in that. By the repetition of the mere repetition

610
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: of the term is like helping the stock price go

611
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: up for this ship. It's it's just I mean, I

612
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: don't know what I mean that the malaria treatment, yeah, yeah, exactly,

613
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: And there was a you know, there was like a

614
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: woman in Detroit or in Michigan who said like it

615
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 1: had completely cured her. It was weird like her, I

616
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: hope she actually did get well from using the medication,

617
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: but it was almost written as if Trump needed this

618
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: person to write how hydroxy chloroquine was the miracle drug

619
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: that brought them back from the edge of death, and

620
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: then he had like retweeted the story. Um, and a

621
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: lot of it is just smacks of the profiteering that

622
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: has gone on for centuries um in this country. So

623
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's weird. I think we always have

624
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: these moments where we have to aggressively look America and

625
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: it's fucked up, rotting, evil, fucking face and then be like,

626
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's it's always kind of been there.

627
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: I guess the makeup just needs to be reapplied a

628
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: little bit um, But I'm like, it's really starting to

629
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: be grading, especially when you look at how we're willing

630
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 1: to turn our backs and even do harm to our allies,

631
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 1: be petulant with Cuba, basically commit like medical terrorism against Iran.

632
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 1: Like it's just all fucking it's there's not a I

633
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: can't I don't know. I'm just worry. Don't worry too much, Miles.

634
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: When the Great Joe Biden steps into office, everything will

635
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: be fine. Yeah, yeah, I mean I think, yeah. The

636
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: only hope we have now is that he picks a

637
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: VP candidate that can get progressives at least halfheartedly enthusiastic

638
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: about dragging their bodies and risking death amidst a pandemic

639
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: to vote right. The movie Contagion has had a resurgence,

640
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 1: obviously in the because it predicted a lot of this ship.

641
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: But there's a there's a character who's like a combination

642
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: of Matt Drudge and Alex Jones played by Jude Law,

643
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: who's like pushing this fake treatment that's just an antibiotic

644
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: that he claims treats the disease and like cures the disease. Uh.

645
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: And I was like, when I rewatched, I was like, yeah,

646
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,760
Speaker 1: things have devolved to the point that I there will

647
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: be somebody like that who is like pushing a fake

648
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: cure and making a bunch of money off of it.

649
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: But it's really fucked up that there might be our president.

650
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,240
Speaker 1: It's like that, I mean, that's unbelievable. It's truly, truly

651
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: unfucking believable. Anyways, one of the people who's supposed to

652
00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: be keeping an eye on the president as he's you know,

653
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 1: in charge of a government that's distributing two trillion dollars uh,

654
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 1: and he's you know, just notoriously the most corrupt human

655
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: being in the history of the world. Uh is uh

656
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: an inspector general that has now been just kind of

657
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: disappeared from from the The whole thing was, you know,

658
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: part of all these stimulus funds. It's like, if we're

659
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,959
Speaker 1: gonna be giving away cash to help businesses that are

660
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: in you know, nearing financial ruin due to the outbreak,

661
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, like we need some kind of oversight. It

662
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 1: can't just be turning a fire hose and making it

663
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: rain on Trump supporters who own businesses and then just

664
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: and then completely forget smaller business owners. Um. So there

665
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: are a few mechanisms that were put in place for

666
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: the bill that was passed by Congress. One was to

667
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: have one that was made up by members of Congress UM,

668
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: which is still there. So there is some kind of

669
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: oversight from Congress members of Congress. But there was also um,

670
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, a panel of Inspectors general had come together

671
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: to nominate someone to be the sort of inspector general

672
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 1: to sort of head up this effort. And they had

673
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: picked this guy, Glenn Fine, who is the Pentagon watchdog,

674
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: and people like great, if the other I g s

675
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: think this is the guy, like it sounds good, it'll

676
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: be somewhat independent, we don't have to quite worry cut too.

677
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: I remember when this happened, Trump was like basically into man.

678
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, that, we'll see how long that lasts.

679
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: Well he was honest, because Glenn find is no longer

680
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: UM overseeing this entire operation, and now they have the

681
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: e P, a inspector general who will serve as the

682
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: temporary watchdog for this. So it's gonna be I don't know,

683
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: it's it's the same thing that happened, Like this is

684
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: sort of what happened with the occupy movement to with

685
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: a lot of tarp funds going on, and were like,

686
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: what the fund there's no there's no accountability for this money.

687
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: Like it's real murky. We don't know what's going on,

688
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,959
Speaker 1: and people are just walking out with bags of cash. Um,

689
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: it's hopefully not going to repeat itself, but it looks

690
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: like they're doing a very good job because, like you said,

691
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 1: post nine eleven, post two tho eight recession, it's a

692
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: great time for the sharks to come in and try

693
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: and run off with a bunch of our money. Uh.

694
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: In another see that this time again. The wealth redistribution

695
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: typically happens from goes the what tends to go to

696
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: the top, and that's what we're trying to prevent. But

697
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: we'll see this is your money. By the way, this

698
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: is a taxpayer money, right, Like that's that's where this

699
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: money is coming from. And so this is directly whoever

700
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: gets it. Uh, if it's not people who are directly

701
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: in need, then that is them stealing money from you.

702
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: So it is something that you should that we should

703
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: all be paying attention to. And I mean historically, this

704
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: is a time when America's flaws get kind of hardened

705
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: into uh, you know, how like how the system is run. Uh.

706
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 1: In the aftermath of World War Two, we had the

707
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: g I Bill, and that was one of the primary

708
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: ways that the US government enforced racism with redlining, uh

709
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: and not allowing uh people of color and specifically African

710
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: American families to partake in some of the housing loans.

711
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: So it's something that, uh, these are specific times that

712
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:31,720
Speaker 1: we need to be paying extra close attention and uh,

713
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, we don't necessarily have the right federal government

714
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: in place to be doing that. No, I think you've

715
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: got the wrong one, guys coming with these hot takes

716
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: that I don't know if the I don't know if

717
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: the world is ready for the job is closing through

718
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: my body and I'm ready to save up some scalding

719
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:57,959
Speaker 1: hot takes on the side of it. Fees. Yeah, Kushner's

720
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: team is seeking, you know, relaxed restrictions on their ability

721
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: to access health care information. That is the President's son

722
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: in law, his being put in charge of a lot

723
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: of how we are dealing with this crisis. Somebody who

724
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: bought his way into Harvard. Parents bought his way into Harvard.

725
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I'm my bad. To be fair, he did

726
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: leverage that opportunity into the White House, so big props

727
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 1: to my man, Jake Cush Right, that's true. Some humble beginnings,

728
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: my man straight to the top did it man uh

729
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: And and he also leveraged it into what is what

730
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: experts think is one of the worst real estate deals

731
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: in the history of Manhattan real estate, but one that

732
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 1: he had to get bailed out of by by his

733
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: who It would have gone down in history and completely

734
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: ruined him were it not for the enormous stroke of

735
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: luck that his father in law happened to be elected president.

736
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: My man, he was in a position to make a

737
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: mistake on that scale to literally skype through unscaped, untouchable. Yeah,

738
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: what's a van kup too? I feel like we're not

739
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: here much like I saw Instagram post that somebody retweeted

740
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: where she's like making pillow forts with her kids and

741
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 1: ship and just being being mom. Yeah, I think she's

742
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: been doing like video chats. There's some ship. I don't know.

743
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: I heard something Trump said that she created ten percent

744
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: of the jobs in America, So yeah, totally definitely. Um.

745
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: I noticed that the movie The Hunt, there's a character

746
00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: who in there in the trailer they made them look

747
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: like Ivanka and then uh the dough Boys had reviewed

748
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: the new Vin Diesel movie Bloodshot, and they said that

749
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: it seemed as though his love interest was specifically made

750
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: to look like Ivanka. Uh so, I think that there's

751
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: like some there's probably some unconscious fascination with Ivanka Trump

752
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: that is like happening in America. That it'll be interesting

753
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: to see where that goes. Again, just truly well deserved

754
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: and super producer around. Hosny just shared a tweet from

755
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 1: Avanca wherein she said We'll never stop fighting for america

756
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: small business owners. Uh so, yes, we can shout out

757
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: to her. Oh nice, I mean she did say I

758
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: think in one of those videos that she's rereading the Odyssey,

759
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: so great she will learn the tale of Odysseus. H

760
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 1: And also, dude, dudes taking some guitar lessons. Man trying

761
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: to start doing some finger picking. She if you created

762
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: ten pc of American jobs, Miles, then maybe I wouldn't

763
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: begrad you a couple of guitar listons as well. Take

764
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: a playoff. Yeah, I mean, Jack, d are you you're

765
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 1: a you're a parent who is raising children during this

766
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: time working from Do you have time to learn guitar

767
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: right now? Yeah? Yeah, I'm just looking for stuff to do.

768
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 1: I'm just like, God, I'm so bored. What what am

769
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: I gonna? What? Am I gonna have enough things to

770
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 1: do to fill my I I want to learn harp

771
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: col Oh my god. It is just that sentiment is

772
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 1: already so offensive that you could even say that, like

773
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: you're a working like I'm fucking learning guitar. Yeah, I

774
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 1: love it? Night Yeah, me to become idiocracy? Man, alright,

775
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,839
Speaker 1: let's take one more quick break and will be right back,

776
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 1: and we're back, and the mention of idiocracy the Luke

777
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: Wilson film brought up a conversation during our break that

778
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,479
Speaker 1: I wanted to share with the with our listeners about

779
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 1: Luke Wilson. There there's a stark division between Miles and

780
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: and the rest of us when it comes to, uh,

781
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 1: just what what his Whether Luke Wilson deserves the career

782
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 1: he had, Um, he doesn't deserve. I'm saying he's lucky,

783
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,879
Speaker 1: he's bored. He's boring. You say he's boring, you say

784
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: he is empoid on screen. His appeal is in his

785
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 1: lack of whatever the funk it is now now. The

786
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: big mistacule making, which is the same mistake a lot

787
00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,720
Speaker 1: of people make, is the measuring Luke's charisma against Owen.

788
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not. I'm looking at I'm looking at

789
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 1: a movie like Blue Streak, which I love. I love

790
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: the soundtrack his I mean, he's just like he's like, whoa, man,

791
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm just I don't know. This energy is just like

792
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: not interesting to me. So have you seen the family stone?

793
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: Have you seen the family seen the family stone? I've

794
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: seen Royal tenant bombs. I think he's I think he's fine.

795
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is he's not burning down the house,

796
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: like we go, oh my god. That Luke Wilson's fucking

797
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: There's something about him, man, that just fucking he's got it.

798
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: Yeah's you're not, That's not. That's not his strength. You know,

799
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: whizzing down to the cinema to see the lightest Luke

800
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 1: Wilson film. He's a he's a very strong second fiddle.

801
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: He's a strong second fiddle, powerful second fiddle. That jowl line,

802
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: that jaw line is powerful. You you said that he

803
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: is like David Swimmer crossed with John Oliver, which is

804
00:49:54,320 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: probably the least generous description that swimmer Wilson. Look at

805
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: his Wikipedia page, him tightening that tie. That's swimmer. To

806
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: anyone who wants to play along with what Miles is

807
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: showing us, just go to Luke Wilson's Wiki page. I

808
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: was devastated to see that there's not even a personal

809
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 1: life tab available exactly. I think that. I mean that

810
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: speaks volumes too, like what who is this guy? Does

811
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,320
Speaker 1: he do anything? He said? He operates a suspended animation

812
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: in between roles, and we don't know who Luke Wilson is. Guys, Yeah,

813
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: he's a cipher, but so so is Shakespeare. So is Shakespeare.

814
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: You know, nobody knows that. Actually an assembly and algorithmic

815
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:41,760
Speaker 1: response to many I love calling the question the value

816
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: of any celebrities personal life. If they don't have a

817
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: specific table on Wikipedia, what are we to believe that

818
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: they just sit around between roles? I mean, I think

819
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: the charitable version is probably like, hey, maybe he's really

820
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: he wants to keep his personal life private, so there's

821
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,760
Speaker 1: not a tab like this available because he doesn't divulge

822
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 1: that information. Well you've come because I'm not buying what

823
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 1: you're sailing miles, which is what you think. You think

824
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: it's a full conspiracy, big time. Look, I'm not I'm

825
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: I do want to say I'm not like of the

826
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:17,919
Speaker 1: stars of Old School, he is the least charismatic, right,

827
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: Like he's Jeremy Piven is better in Old School than

828
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 1: Luke Wilson. Before we had access to Jeremy Piven's private life,

829
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: that guy was doing a pretty serviceable job as a

830
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: character actor. Yeah, that's true, Oh Piven? Oh yeah, And

831
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 1: then what did you get mercury poisoning from eating too

832
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: much sushi? Was that a rumor? That was true? Right? No,

833
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:46,399
Speaker 1: that was high levels of mercury because he's eating sushily

834
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 1: dangerous levels of mercury because he was eating only sushi.

835
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 1: Only that's such an l a rich piece of ship

836
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:59,320
Speaker 1: move to be like like, that's like l a gout,

837
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: which is like, dude, crispy tuna from Katsuya every fucking day. Bro.

838
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: And I'm dying. I like Owen Wilson better than Luke.

839
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not out here saying Luke Wilson deserves

840
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,879
Speaker 1: all the success he got. I just don't think he's

841
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 1: a complete zero on screen. I think I think he

842
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 1: can hold down a movie. I'm I'm not saying he's

843
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 1: a complete zero. What I'm saying is his value is

844
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 1: that he has no value. That's that's that's basically saying

845
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: he's a complete But you're saying, but you need zero

846
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 1: as a concept to have other values make sense? Right? Math,

847
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: Now we're going to talk about the philosophy of math

848
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: existence of do you do you have an actor in

849
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 1: mind who you think I would step up to the

850
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: plate and deliver a bit of job of performing the

851
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 1: Luke Wilson and these sort of typical Luke Wilson rolls, like,

852
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 1: is there is there another performance you think he's standing

853
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 1: in front of the line that you'd rather see playing

854
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: these every meaning no, because I think that's what I'm saying,

855
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,720
Speaker 1: like there is a there is a strength to what

856
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: this is. But what this is isn't being a magnetic performer.

857
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 1: So it's hard for me to think of, like, well,

858
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 1: who else isn't because Luke I don't know he he's

859
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 1: found a fucking niche that I I simply cannot explain

860
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: a lot of what you're describing. Miles would also apply

861
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 1: to Kiano Reeves in the sense that he is really

862
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 1: good at being sort of somebody that we project ourselves

863
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 1: onto and playing a leading role in a in an

864
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 1: action movie instead of a comedy. But he's he's bland

865
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: enough to be a leading man in a in a

866
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: movie that you know where the point is we identify

867
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:53,959
Speaker 1: with leading. He's a Manila envelope, you know what I mean? Yeah,

868
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 1: we need them. They're useful. Like I'm not gonna say

869
00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: we don't need Manila envelopes stand behind Kiana Reeves on

870
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: account of the five sub seats that his personal life

871
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: bracket on Wikipedia has. I mean, here's the guy is. Yeah,

872
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna get killed for even comparing the two

873
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: of them. I'm just saying that Miles description of Luke

874
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: Wilson is reminiscent of what how people used to describe

875
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: Kanu Reeves. But Keanu Reeves, though, like his idiot energy

876
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 1: was powerful, like it was You're like, whoa, this guy is?

877
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: Tr uh I think, but it's fucking it's there's heat

878
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 1: coming off the screen. That's true. Wilson is a fucking

879
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 1: Manila envelope. But hey, you need him, and I think also,

880
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 1: would you could you imagine Luke Wilson in the Matrix.

881
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 1: If we're really going to start compared, I would love

882
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: to see these. It would have been a comedy. It

883
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 1: would have been a comedy film. But there then again,

884
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: someone please. I have long said that KIANU. Reeves is

885
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,840
Speaker 1: literally the only person who could have pulled off the Matrix.

886
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,319
Speaker 1: I think he's that it's hard for me. Needed a

887
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:09,399
Speaker 1: complete cipher like you needed a complete like neutral mask

888
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 1: to project your own who knows I'm entity into you know,

889
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 1: And I'm willing to say maybe in another timeline, Luke

890
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,800
Speaker 1: Wilson gets the part for the Matrix and we realized

891
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: Luke Wilson, you know, who knows? Maybe Keanu beat Luke

892
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,240
Speaker 1: Wilson to the punch, I don't know, and that instance

893
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 1: the Matrix bombs. Yeah, yeah, I would have bummed. Would

894
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: you rather see the Will Smith version or the Luke

895
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,879
Speaker 1: Wilson version? Because Will Smith was supposed to be neo,

896
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 1: right and then he passed. Will Smith would have been

897
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:39,959
Speaker 1: at least interesting. I wouldn't have worked in the same

898
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: way because it would have been uh, you know, I

899
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,280
Speaker 1: think part of the Matrix is just you know, imagining

900
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 1: yourself as neo. But you can't quite do that because

901
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 1: Will Smith's too charismatic for you to identify as a

902
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: Will Smith character, but it would have at least been

903
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:01,320
Speaker 1: interesting in the same way that other Will Smith movies

904
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: or released the Luke Wilson Matrix cut. Yeah, that's right.

905
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 1: We ask of two things, the butt hole cut and

906
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 1: the Wilson Matrix cut. Somebody added the butt holes to

907
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: the Cats trailer, I think, or it was just a

908
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: montage of different moments that would have been difficult to

909
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 1: watch with the butt holes in there, and they just

910
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: made them too pink like it was. It wasn't a

911
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 1: realistic butthole cut. And yeah, it looked like that they

912
