1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of It

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Trends with Us. Oh, that's right. It's a play on

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: the big movie dropping this weekend. It Ends with Us,

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: starring Blake Lively Jenny Slat, adapted from the Colleen Hoover

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: novel that was a book talk sensation. Hum, I'm Jack.

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: That is miles miles. As you might have been able

7
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: to pick up on from my rear, I'm not overly

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: familiar with It ends with Us. I was mainly reading

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: that off of like a description.

10
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: I'm also not I mean I'm familiar because I feel

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: in the last week I keep seeing stuff about like

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: Blake Lively and like headlines about like cast feuds, and

13
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know, I don't I don't care

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: enough about them, but I know it's happening something.

15
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: Behind the scenes. Tench is what I'm hearing, is what

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: I'm picking up on. The star and director Justin Baldoni,

17
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: who I'm not overly familiar with. Maybe maybe if I

18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: have look there's more deeply I would recognize him from

19
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: some stuff. But I just want to read this description

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: and just want to get to get a sense if

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: anything pops out to you, because I was. I was

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: impressed by a couple of the details.

23
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 3: Here.

24
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: A chance meeting with charming neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid sparks an

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: intense connection, but as the two fall deeply in love,

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: Lily begins to see sides of Ryle her parents relationship,

27
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: like with an R with an R. When Lily's first love,

28
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: Atlas Core again suddenly re enters her life, her relationship

29
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: with Ryle is upended. I just love those two names,

30
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: Ryle Kincaid. Oh wow, wow, wow wow.

31
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, because like that guy Ryle or Baldoni isn't

32
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: at like any of the press stuff. I think that's

33
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: what I was reading. It's like, where the fuck's the

34
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: director and.

35
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: Where is the baldon stir.

36
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 2: Oh, aust didn't realize that the the the book itself

37
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: is about domestic abuse, and people are like.

38
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 4: Is this movie actually handling it? Well, wow, so it

39
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 4: looks like a lot a lot is happening going on. Hey,

40
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 4: Ryle bald Baldoni come to these screenings. Wow, that's just

41
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 4: a thing I just came up with.

42
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: That's cool man, Hey, And that's cool bro.

43
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: And that is cool man, Miles. We love to talk

44
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: about people swimming through ship in the heart, Polly. The

45
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: sin is gross, still gross, but apparently swimmers have a solution.

46
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: And I'm intrigued by this. Okay, So apparently being an

47
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: open water swimmer, this is not their first rodeo. Uh

48
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: when it comes rodeo. The rodeo being swimming open man

49
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: through a bunch of poop poo, whoopy. That's the thing

50
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: that you have to do a lot as a distant swimmer. Sure,

51
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: And so they have methods for trying to flush their

52
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: system so they don't get an infection from all the

53
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: shit water. And apparently one of the tricks maybe it's

54
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: an old wives tale, maybe it's science, but it is

55
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: like kind of openly adopted is chugging a can of

56
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: coke to poison whatever living microbe is trying to like

57
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: work its way down your throat and get into your stomach.

58
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: So probably not resounding endorsement that Coca Cola is looking

59
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: for from their Olympic sponsorship.

60
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: Sure, sure, official drink of people who have swallowed shit

61
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: Coca Cola always wait. So the theory is just like coke,

62
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: it has some kind of magical power or to destroy

63
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: the bacteria.

64
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: Essentially, I mean this is a an urban legend that

65
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: we debunked. I think a myth about this back it

66
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: cracked because I think a lot of people have done

67
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: the thing where you put a tooth or something in

68
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: a cup of coke and it like immediately dissolves.

69
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 5: This.

70
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: So I remember there was one that was like the

71
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: highway patrol used to like clear accidents by spraying them

72
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: down with Coca cola, like to like get things off

73
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: of the pavement. I was like, that's a terrible idea,

74
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: would be so sticky, that can't be true, And that

75
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: turned out it was. It was not true. But in

76
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: this case, Mosha Johnson of Team Australia said, the myth

77
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: of coca cola is true. We will often have a

78
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: Coca cola afterward just to try to flesh out anything

79
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: inside of us. Wow wow, So drink enjoy coke or

80
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: use it like it's like a lie, you know your insides.

81
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: I'll say, there's is this a black woman? And I

82
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: looked no. I was thrown off by the name Mosha Johnson.

83
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 2: That's what I'm like, who were they? Mosha? Fans mo

84
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 2: to eat to the and they're like, oh yeah, you

85
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 2: know what.

86
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: Steve, we should name our daughter daughter Mosia. Yeah.

87
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 2: Wow, well yeah, drink of Coca cola. I mean that's

88
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: like I feel like it is sort of like the

89
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: same thing, like with black people. It's like ginger ale

90
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 2: is like what solves all things possible. McDonald's sprite is

91
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: a is a tincture from the gods. So yeah, man,

92
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 2: Coca cola. Sure.

93
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. Multiple doctors told The Wall Street Journal that there's

94
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: no scientific evidence of cokes cleansing properties. But you know,

95
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: it's the reason that Gatorade is not just salt water.

96
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: That they put like bright colors and sugar in there

97
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: because it feels good, and when you feel better, like

98
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: you you know, tend to do better. So it's well. Also,

99
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: just the article ends with you know, or maybe it

100
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: just we shouldn't be swimming in the Seine. Despite the reassurances,

101
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: some argue swimming the sin was never a good idea.

102
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: I would never have selected the send. Davy Jones, professor

103
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: of environmental science and public health at Bangor University, told

104
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: DBC Science Focused. I know it's iconic, but it also

105
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: runs through a hugely urbanized area, which is always a

106
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: recipe for disaster when it comes to potential exposure to

107
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: chemicals or biological pathogens.

108
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: I would have never selected the send, said Davy Jones,

109
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: ghost of Legendary Pirates.

110
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 5: Yeah.

111
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I swam in the ocean in where I could

112
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: have reclaimed my soul. That's right, all right, Fox still

113
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: struggling with Tim Walls. They're trying to come up with

114
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: an angle. It resonate.

115
00:06:53,760 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: Twitchy Tim is trending because Jesse Waters has absolutely found

116
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: owned the fucking hammer blow to the whole, Tim Walls

117
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: is daddy vibe train that's happening. Uh here's here's just

118
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: Jesse Waters trying a new one. He's enthusiastic and effusive,

119
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: I think is what he means here. But hey, let's

120
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: let him embarrass himself.

121
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 6: Here's twitchy Tim on stage, waving profusely in a very unsettling.

122
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: Manner, very unsettling. Okay, Frame by frame, how would you

123
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: describe that wave waving at Like, how's it like waving?

124
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: Maybe waving enthusiastically, Yeah, like at the wrist. You know

125
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: you're not doing full you know you're not moving from

126
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: the shoulder. You know, it's not a big white ye wave,

127
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: it's a little wrist.

128
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: I would also describe it as uncool, but not necessarily

129
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: trying to be cool.

130
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 2: Yes, that's yeah, looks sincere we'll move okay, go on,

131
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 2: Jesse that men should not move this way. It's not

132
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: the way we laughing.

133
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 6: The handshakes probably the most telling this is Waltz his

134
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 6: wife shaking hands like business associates.

135
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: It's all to hug and kiss your wife in front

136
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: of probably, and she.

137
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: Was also kind of like, oh well, hello there, waving

138
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: and he kind of pulled her in for a hug

139
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: via a handshake. Again this this IS's husband Doug. Interesting

140
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: because then he hugged another man.

141
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh he really went in for the hug. Oh

142
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: the boy. They're just such the like that, Oh my god.

143
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: Wow. I will say at times that one laugh he

144
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 2: did felt like he was putting a little too much

145
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 2: sauce on it. You know. It was like I was like,

146
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: is that you, Tim But that's okay because it's pretty well,

147
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: it's pretty well known. He's not like one of these

148
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: big powerhouse political you know, performers at rallies. He's like

149
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 2: a pretty normal dude. He's not like a teleprompter guy

150
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: from from what I was reading at all, so like whatever,

151
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: but like he's just he seems like a normal guy

152
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 2: who's getting used to having to be in front of

153
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 2: thousands of people and be like a focal point and

154
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: not just be like, hey, good to see it. Uh huh, yeah,

155
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: give a little something to the crowd, you know what

156
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: I mean. But yeah, there's just in you know, the tampon,

157
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: Tim didn't think work. Doesnnow it's twitchy Tim. We'll see

158
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: what happens. He just seems to be genuinely excited, and

159
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 2: that's they don't know what to do with that. So

160
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: the struggle continues.

161
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back,

162
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: and we're back. And Islamophobia seems to be have you

163
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: heard about this stuff, because it seems to be having

164
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: a bit of a moment, like even more than usual.

165
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: So the reaction to the riots in the UK has

166
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: been there's a good Jacobin article. We'll link off two

167
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: in the footnotes, but just very tolerant of white supremacists

168
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: reticent to call out and condemn islamophobia when they see it,

169
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: and like not not willing to call this white supremacy

170
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: like terrorism when they see it. If you aren't up

171
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: on you know, the international news, there was a horrific

172
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: mass stabbing of children by a person who you know,

173
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: a lone wolf, native born English citizen, and it was

174
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: blamed on Muslim immigrants by a Russian social media account,

175
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: and that rumor kicked off massive like white supremacist terrorism

176
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 1: and like right wing riots complete with like book burnings,

177
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: Nazi salutes, and the government is just like.

178
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:12,479
Speaker 2: Buildings attacking hotels for a yeah, just setting up roadblocks

179
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 2: to check people's skin, like there's been a lot.

180
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: It's fucking scared shit, yeah, yeah, and the government seems

181
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: to be having a hard time recognizing it as terrorism

182
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: that needs to be dealt with as such. And yeah,

183
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: there just seems to be a mainstreaming of Islamophobia, like

184
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: and and then just I don't know, as right wing

185
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: groups become more popular, it's just like we need to

186
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: be really careful about when watching the mainstream media, like

187
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: catering to them and moving policy toward them, like with

188
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: all these elections happening and being like, well what about this,

189
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: Like is this unpopular? Would this make you more popular?

190
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: It's like that's no, like it that that can't be

191
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 1: part of the calculation.

192
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 2: It is interesting because like oddly enough that the US

193
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: is slightly ahead of the UK here with being like yeah, man,

194
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 2: white supremacist terror. Uh. I mean we don't like to

195
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 2: talk about it because you know that definitely appeals to

196
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 2: a certain subsection of media consumers, right yeah, like like

197
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 2: in that article, and I think just generally hearing a

198
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: lot of the commentary is like this has just been

199
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 2: allowed to simmer like underneath the surface, that this just

200
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 2: little bit of disinformation set off a ton of wacky shit.

201
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I am heartened to see the amount of

202
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 2: counter protesters that have also come out to really be

203
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: like fuck out of here, like this this is not happening,

204
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: because there were a lot of uh, sort of protests

205
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: that was that were being you know, coordinated by this

206
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 2: you know, like regressive right wing white supremacist group in

207
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: the UK, but that was met with a lot of

208
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: counter protests. But yeah, it's this is it is. This

209
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: is sort of what happens when that kind of rhetoric

210
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 2: goes unchecked and when you don't push back enough, it's

211
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 2: acceptable enough that people will then act out shit in

212
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 2: like physical space.

213
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: It just feels like the way the hour, like the

214
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: American mainstream media has like metabolized the student protests, like

215
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: they just seem to have been like, you know, that

216
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: wasn't a thing that got brought up when objecting to

217
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: Josh Shapiro, you know, like that wasn't it.

218
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: Was would say, like people on the left were concerned

219
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 2: about Josh Shapiro's characterization of people who are fully there

220
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 2: to protest the genocide and Gaza. And again, this is

221
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 2: something rhetorically that people like to use to sort of

222
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 2: begin to fuse anti Semitism into the conversation. So then

223
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: now you're having to then debate whether or not it's

224
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 2: anti semitism when your stated goal is to say, I'm

225
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: trying to stop genocide, that there are definitely bad faith actors,

226
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: but that is not the point of the ninety nine

227
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 2: point ninety nine of.

228
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: The people, like what they're being fucking killed.

229
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is yeah, like you know, Corey Bush,

230
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: who is a member of the Squad and Zuri lost

231
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 2: her primary APAC put in like something like nine million

232
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 2: dollars to unseat her, And again I.

233
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: Think it's created like, you know, a political misstep that

234
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: she was critical of Israel, you know exactly, it's well

235
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: should have known better.

236
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: Is also I think a lot of people don't understand

237
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: too as many people of color do see their struggle

238
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: intertwined with what is happening with Palestinian people, of course,

239
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: and that that we are living in a world that

240
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: says human are not human and you are allowed to

241
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: be on the receiving end of some horrific oppression and

242
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: having your right stripped away. So then to then condemn

243
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: people who are saying like I see our parallel struggles

244
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: as being intertwined, and like the liberation that we're seeking

245
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: is to you know, dismantle these systems of oppression and colonization.

246
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: To then have that be like, well, you went a

247
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: little too far there, I think shows everyone sort of

248
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: what the stakes are in terms of pushing back against

249
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: the status quo. And I I think that sort of definitely,

250
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: like to your point, like American media has definitely for

251
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: decades been like some people in the Middle East are

252
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 2: just bad guys who we've flattened into these one dimensional

253
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: caricatures of bad people and not human beings experiencing their

254
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 2: own struggles and trying to live their lives in a

255
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: way like every other human being is, which I think

256
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: also again, another thing that was trending was Kamala's rally

257
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: in Michigan that happened yesterday, and like protesters who were

258
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: there because again there's a huge Arab and Muslim population

259
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: in Michigan that they were there to protest the administrations,

260
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: you know, co signing of what is happening in Gaza

261
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 2: in the West Bank, and people were interrupting the speech.

262
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 2: They were protesting. Now I know, in the beginning, Kamala

263
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: first tried to say, hey, you know, like this is

264
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: a democracy, that's why I'm here. Your voice is valid,

265
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: all of our voices are valid, but I'm speaking here.

266
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 2: And then they kept going and she said something to

267
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: the effect of like, look, if you want Donald Trump

268
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: to win, just say that, and the crowd erupted and

269
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: like yeah, you know, big d Democrat. Twitter started like

270
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: dunking on these protesters in a way where you're like,

271
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 2: you you, we need to like for these people. They

272
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: have to look at these people as also very concerned

273
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 2: about what is happening and what is happening in the

274
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 2: name of Americans and American tax dollars.

275
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: And Kamala met with the organizers from the Young Committed

276
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: Movement and yes, but yeah, it's mainly like the response

277
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: like online and you know where it was like yeah,

278
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: shut the fuck up, was just like wait what what? Yeah? Yeah,

279
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: that's the.

280
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: Kind of thing that disturbs people who are you know,

281
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: really concerned with any kind of sort of like liberation

282
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: movement and to have like someone who's at the top

283
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: of the ticket sort of just like try and be

284
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 2: like I'm going to reinforce the status quo and everyone's

285
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: going to cheer. That does not feel good. So that

286
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 2: is thing I think that the Harris Walls campaign hopefully

287
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 2: addresses because that was sort of like the first big

288
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 2: you're like, uh, it's wobbling again. You're in Michigan. You

289
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 2: could have even just said something like I totally understand

290
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 2: where you're coming from. No one wants to see this

291
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 2: massive loss of life on a scale like this that

292
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: is harming innocent children and people. It's it's it's terrible.

293
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: Let's find a time to speak, but please allow me

294
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 2: to finish, you know what I mean, Like, there's a

295
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 2: way to diplomatically say that acknowledge them and doesn't necessarily

296
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: make you look like you've caved to the quote. Hamas

297
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 2: wing of the party, as conservatives or moderates are trying

298
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: to say, and like, this is at a time right

299
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 2: now too where nearly seventy five percent of voters, seventy

300
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 2: five percent of Americans right do not want to be

301
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 2: dragged into a war in the Middle East over a

302
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 2: net and Yahoo's desire to stay in power. So articulating

303
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 2: some kind of boundary is especially prudent at a time

304
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 2: like this, at the very least as a way to

305
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 2: deter net and Yahoo from his worst impulses as things

306
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: get more and more tense with his feud with Hesbela

307
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: and Iran. So I don't know, like so everything just

308
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: feels like in limbo. People are looking for answers, and

309
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 2: I feel like this is now the time too for

310
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 2: Kamala and the kama the Harris Walls campaign to truly

311
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: begin articulating, like what this administration is going to stand for,

312
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 2: Like we know what you're against. You know, it's not

313
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: enough to say we're against tax breaks for billionaires, so

314
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: then say we are four taxing the fuck out of

315
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: billionaires so we can offer people more social services. It's

316
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: not enough to say you are against gun violence, you know,

317
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: say you are four substantive gun control laws and articulate

318
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 2: what it looks like and people are so stretched so thin.

319
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 2: Rhetoric alone isn't going to inspire hope, Like people need

320
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 2: to see a roadmap so we know where we are

321
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 2: and where we are going and how we get there.

322
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: It's not enough anymore to just be like, yeah, that's bad.

323
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 2: And I know they said, like, obviously you support a

324
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 2: women's right to choose, you want to codify Roe Vwaight,

325
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 2: Like Okay, that's that's a talking point. That makes sense

326
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 2: because you're saying if they're codify Roe Vwaight, well would

327
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 2: that happen tbd. But at least you're articulating something that

328
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: people can put something a bit of like emotion into.

329
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 2: And I bring this up because Trump did like a

330
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 2: virtual town hall because he's not really going in public

331
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 2: anymore or as much where he was like in Sturge,

332
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 2: like it was like with bikers in Sturgis and they

333
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 2: are yeah, he's on the phone and on Fox are like, hey,

334
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 2: what's something you want to ask President Trump? This is

335
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: a really I think, a really instructive moment because this

336
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 2: is someone who this is a fucking stars and stripes

337
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: vest clauded biker who looks like, you know, the like

338
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 2: a caricature of what you think a maga person is.

339
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 2: And I just want you to hear what this guy's

340
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: question is for Donald Trump, and how terribly Donald Trump

341
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 2: even handles this.

342
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 5: What are you gonna do about bringing down the rent

343
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 5: and things like that in the economy? Because out of

344
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 5: eight children that I'm a father and a stepfather too,

345
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 5: five of them are struggling and I'm giving them part

346
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 5: of my income on a regular basis. How are you

347
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 5: going to make the economy not just just the you know,

348
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 5: the food and electricity, but bring down the rent prices,

349
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 5: the housing prices so that these kids can survive and

350
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 5: without their parents' help.

351
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 3: Such a good question, mister President. You're right, I hear

352
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 3: it very well. And I tell you, first of all,

353
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 3: I love the people that you with. I know that

354
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 3: I must have at least ninety nine, perhaps one hundred

355
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 3: percent of all of them, and I think they're incredible.

356
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 3: We are going to drill, baby, drill. We're going to

357
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 3: bring down the cost of energy. Energy is what caused

358
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 3: the worst inflation I think in the history of our country.

359
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 3: Food prices are fifty percent sometimes more. You look at bacon,

360
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 3: bacon is quadrupled you can't order bacon. You can't order anything.

361
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 3: We're living horribly. We have the worst inflation.

362
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: We Okay, I gotta stop. Right this guy's like, drill.

363
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: I've got eight kids I'm supporting, and he's like, we're

364
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: gonna drill and then your kids will be able to

365
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 2: pay their rent in bacon slices because bacon will now

366
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: be It's like, you're not again. This is like such

367
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 2: a real experience that American people are the entire political spectrum.

368
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: It's it's touching them. And so like this is again

369
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: if you can articulate something that is a little bit

370
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 2: like because right now the other guys is being like,

371
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: drill bacon.

372
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: Huh uh huh, drill pro oil is my answer to

373
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: your children's rent ut exactly.

374
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 2: And like this is at a time when a lot

375
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 2: of moderates and like establishment democrats, right wingers in the media,

376
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 2: they're all saying some version of Kamala better say sorry

377
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: for wanting single payer healthcare or people will be.

378
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: Mad and they're apologizing for any regressive leanings in the past.

379
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 2: Feels like the yeah, this ain't the time to do that.

380
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 2: Like you have you have excited young people who think

381
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 2: that something can be made of this, so like offer

382
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 2: something different, and when you just refuse to like articulate

383
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: something that allows people to reflexively think, oh, this ticket

384
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 2: isn't going to change anything.

385
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. The one mainstream media criticism I've seen of

386
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: Harris that like, I think is worth paying attention to

387
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: is that when like in polling, and again like polling

388
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: is not true like a snapshot, but in polling about

389
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: who you trust to like handle the economy, they like,

390
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: she runs ten points behind Trump because he's rich guy

391
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: people in people's mind, So there's work to be done there,

392
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: to your point, like, and yeah, the way to do

393
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: that is not to just like sit back and try

394
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: not to offend people, but to like have ideas that

395
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: you can put Yeah there because you get drill for oil,

396
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: to lower rent cause you're.

397
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 2: You're gonna get applause if you say the rents too

398
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 2: damn high and housing prices are too high, food costs

399
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: are too high. Yeah, sure, yes, then now fucking articulate

400
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 2: what the plan is, like what And I get you've

401
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 2: only been in the driver's seat of your own campaign

402
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 2: for a little bit, so that is coming. But I

403
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 2: think that's truly the next thing, Like the Democrats pass

404
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 2: their first challenge by picking a vice president that helped

405
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 2: like augment the likability of the ticket, and now the

406
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 2: next one is truly going to be like what can

407
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 2: you articulate policy wise to now really get people to

408
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 2: be invested in what this future is going to because

409
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 2: if it's just you know, look at look at Trump,

410
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 2: aren't these people fucking weird? You can't fucking coast off

411
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 2: that into November, Like it's just impossible. And I know

412
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 2: that that is coming because no, like what fucking administration

413
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 2: or potential administration doesn't articulate those things. But this is

414
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 2: the next thing that will help, you know, get more

415
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 2: people interested in what this this ticket looks like or

416
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 2: be more deflated. And yeah, I think after I think

417
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 2: a lot of people saw that comment to protesters who

418
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 2: are just you know, speaking up on behalf of Palestinians,

419
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 2: and we're like, ah, man, like that's it's a huge

420
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: issue that like a lot of a lot of people

421
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 2: are concerned with. But I think for them, they probably

422
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 2: see this as like as a minority of people and

423
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 2: if they can just kind of whatever they can they

424
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 2: can there's probably more people that don't care than do care.

425
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 2: And maybe that's their calculus, but I think it's, yeah,

426
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 2: there's a lot of there's work to be done, there's

427
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 2: work to be.

428
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: Done, there's work sure, all right, that is going to

429
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: do it for us this afternoon. We are back tomorrow

430
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: with the whole ast episode of the show. Until then,

431
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 1: be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get

432
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: the back team, get the flu shot, don't do nothing

433
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: about white supremacy, and we will talk to you tomorrow.

434
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 2: Fight five
