It was also on the soundtrack for Cruel Intentions, 44 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: a very important movie in my years. Oh of course. Yeah. 45 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: When I picture Cruel Intentions, that can only picture the 46 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: scary movie kiss like version of that.

You know what, if you're not, 57 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: they failed because it would have been perfect for that 58 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: soundtrack even if it wasn't on it exactly. Let me 59 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: just look and just confirming it is not on there. Well, 60 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: are you SI failed? Coming Up from Behind is a 61 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: Marcy Playground behind one. Yes, that's that's the one.

Yeah, exactly. 67 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: And I gotta say people don't know this on that 68 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: are listening to the podcast, but you are on some 69 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: new fangled iPad and when you were just doing your 70 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: little moves, it was giving a little bit of camera motions, 71 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: so you really brought a vibe to the zoom call. 72 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: So I really appreciate that. Oh well, thank you. It's 73 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: very cool program that I am immediately going to go 74 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: out and get because it just adds gravity tasted to 75 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: everything you do. You're struggling with technology before we started recording, 76 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: and it like did this slow push on your face 77 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: that made it made it? I don't know, I just 78 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: look perplexed trying to join the audio on this calling, 79 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: or like you're super deep in thought and contemplating the 80 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: world's problems. How has your a pandemic? Ben? I, I 81 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: can't remember when it was that we last talked. Yeah, 82 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: last time we talked, I think it was still a pandemic. 83 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: How was it. How was your recent pandemic? Ben? It's 84 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: been okay. You know. I I finally got to go 85 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: back to Canada, where I'm from, where I grew up 86 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: my family, and that was a big deal because that 87 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: hadn't happened in two years. Uh. So you know, it's um, 88 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: you know, we're hanging in there. Yeah. Nice. And you're 89 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,119 Speaker 1: in New York right when you're in the States. Yeah, okay, 90 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: right now, how did you And like I ask every 91 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: guest he was over there, how how did you fare 92 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: during the inclement weather a few weeks ago? Oh? We 93 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: were fortunate. Our backyard because we have a yard, kind 94 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: of flooded a little bit. Uh And for a while there, 95 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, there's a lake in the backyard, 96 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: but it didn't actually enter the apartment. So we were good, 97 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: really really fortunate. A lot of our friends in the 98 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: same neighborhood were not as fortunate. Yeah. And I'm always 99 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: curious because like I have, like half of my family 100 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: lived in Japan, and I haven't been able to see 101 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: them since the pandemic either. What was it like to 102 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: go home for for all that time? Was it just 103 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: like was it everything you thought it would be? Was 104 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: it less? Was it? Or that's a good question. You know. 105 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: What was strange is that, like, because I hadn't seen 106 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: my parents in two years, I had a little bit 107 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: of I mean, we do zoom calls, but like it's 108 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: not like phone cameras were super detailed, and so I 109 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: had a little bit of a fear that I was like, Oh, 110 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: are they going to look like two years older? Like 111 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: that kind of for whatever reason, like it kind of 112 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: freaked me out that I would feel like so much 113 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: time had passed that I could actually notice a difference. 114 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: Unfortunately for them, they still look great. So actually I 115 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: didn't feel that and that you were able to embrace 116 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: them in your heart because they still looked good. Yes, 117 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: it was just because they still look for young, right, 118 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: So I still love them right great, But it was weird. 119 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: It was weird because my experience of the pandemic in 120 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: New York City was so different from there's in Montreal. 121 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: You know, like my sister to this day still doesn't 122 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: actually know somebody personally that she's like close to who's 123 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: had COVID and right exactly, And so like when you're 124 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: talking about like what the pandemic has been, like where 125 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: is they? And and also on top of that, they 126 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: have had a bunch of curfews. They had curfews that 127 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: lasted a really long time. And so it's like this 128 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: comparing notes situation where like we all experienced traumatic things, 129 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: but very very differently. You know, my my trauma was 130 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: like life and death trauma, and my sister's trauma was 131 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: like being at home all the time, feeling super confined 132 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: and more so than in than in Brooklyn. And so 133 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: it's just like it's just that that's weird, that that 134 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: feeling of like I think before I went, I felt like, oh, 135 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: we're all in this together. And then I went and 136 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: I was like, Nope, every country had a different pandemic, right, 137 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: and and we're not. It's not this big, universal, global 138 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: shared experience the way that I thought it was initially, right, Right, 139 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: makes sense. So we're gonna get to know you a 140 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: little bit better in a moment. First, just a few 141 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: of the things we're talking about. We're talking about the 142 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: humanitarian crisis, at the border in uh del Rio, Texas, 143 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: and just generally the inhumane border policies of all administrations 144 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: and ones that are especially poorly you know, suited to 145 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: our increasingly hot changed climate. We will talk about Mike 146 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: Pats apparently he thinks he can lead the GOP and 147 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: I'm I'm here, I want to see it. Yeah, I'm like, 148 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: I believe in you. Get out there, do your thing. 149 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: Your base didn't want to like lynch you or anything. 150 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: So you're pretty sure you got this, Mike. Yeah, the confidence, sir. 151 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about how college students are drinking less, 152 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: smoking more. We're gonna talk about the Emmy's briefly, just uh, 153 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: the fact that they were not COVID safe, and then 154 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about just a couple other responses 155 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: to you know, just we're seeing COVID logic bend into 156 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: all different kind of unique, uncomfortable shapes. So we'll we'll 157 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: talk about the conservative logic that thinks that liberals are 158 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: doing reverse psychology on them.

And then I moved to New York 180 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: City and I was too scared to bike in New 181 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: York City. So but I have a bunch of friends 182 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: who are very intense cyclists and they are building up 183 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: my confidence there take me on rides. I went through 184 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: Central Park this weekend in Times Square and like contended 185 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: with those those cars and it was a good experience. 186 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: I'm also getting on my bike, but I have I 187 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: just got an electric bike just to like kind of 188 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: commune around, so I don't drive my car as much, 189 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: which is great, but part of it is I live 190 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: in one of the most hostile places for someone to 191 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: be on a bicycle, which is l a um and 192 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: I like you, like my partner, she goes to show 193 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: show bike into work, so she's like very comfortable on 194 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: the roads. I grew up almost getting hit by cars 195 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: to the point where I rode the role mostly would 196 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: ride my bike on the sidewalk, which is not supposed 197 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,839 Speaker 1: to do, just to like avoid the stress of that. 198 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: But as I've gotten out more, I'm I can totally 199 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,719 Speaker 1: identify with like the comfort level because like I at 200 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: first hated cars like flying by me when I was 201 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: on a bike, And now you know, I'm like, okay, 202 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: I'm I'm learning my safety like sort of protocols. How 203 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: to keep my head on a swivel, know how to 204 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 1: what to read my body to signal to other cars 205 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: and things like that, and I'm slowly gaining that confidence. So, like, 206 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: defensive bike techniques are so important and I'm like slowly 207 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: learning them. Yeah, New York is no joke. I've I 208 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: used to bike around New York a lot, and I 209 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: have almost been sandwiched by a bus in between, like 210 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: a bus and a parked car. I don't know why 211 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: I think Elie is more hostile. I think it's because 212 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: I see more people in New York and like I 213 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: don't give a fun And in that way, I'm like, oh, 214 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: it must be easy to bike, But when I'm on 215 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: the sidewalks of New York, I'm like, man, I would 216 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: not biking this ship at all. Yeah. I guess it's 217 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: all about you know, learning, you know, learning environment and 218 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: getting used to it. Yeah. I'm just getting comfy on 219 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: my bike, you know. Yeah, I've definitely felt the pain 220 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: of not having the right My my cycling pants were 221 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: corduroy and uh yeah started off fire. Yeah, at one 222 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: point it was not good, just leaving a trail of 223 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: fabric behind you. What is something you think is overrated? Okay, 224 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: So along this this like theme of biking here. You know, 225 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: I've done spin classes I've tried a peloton bike in 226 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: the past, Like I think that's what's overrated. Like now 227 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 1: that I'm getting into like outdoor biking, it is just 228 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: better to just be outside to like the real life 229 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: effort of like real roads outdoors. It just feels so 230 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: much better. So like that's that's the overrated, underrated thing, 231 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: Like I think, I think I think spin classes are 232 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: super overrated. But who when you're biking around on the street, 233 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: who's telling you that you're killing it and just shouting 234 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: at you? So I will tell you my friend Dylan, 235 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: who takes me out on bike rides. The first bike 236 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: ride that we did together, we went like forty four 237 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: miles or something, and I had never done that much, 238 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: like not even close, like like my last my last 239 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: bike ride had probably been liked miles or like through 240 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: five miles. So he takes me out on the spike 241 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: ride and at the very end the last like five miles, 242 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: I was dying and he starts playing the theme to 243 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: Rocky next to me, like holding out his phone. My 244 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: friend Dylan is the answer to that question. Everybody needs 245 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: a Dylan for all the Predator fans out there. But yeah, 246 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: I love to hear that anything that rocky theme would 247 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: get you through it. Oh yeah, I gotta get a 248 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: speed of a speaker for your bike. You blasting tunes 249 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: when you biking? Uh not yet, not yet. Maybe I'll 250 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: get there at some point. Yeah, that's I think that's 251 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: my next step because I don't want to have headphones in, 252 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: but I don't mind being like the guys like who's 253 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: that old millennial blasting Drummond bass off their bicycle. Yeah. 254 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: You can also do those um like bone conducting headphones 255 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: that just conducting jaw. Those are kind of nerdy though, 256 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: they're like not not the best look, but they're safe. Yeah, 257 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: and I don't mind just being aggressive. I'd rather have 258 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: someone be like turn that ship then have my space headphones. 259 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: That's perfect. The jaw one so you can hear the 260 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: sounds around you as your jaw is. That's pretty cool. 261 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: How do they stick to your jaw? Oh? So they 262 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: just like pass behind your ears, like very much like um, 263 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: you know, like old school sports headphones that would wrap 264 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: around your ears and then they like stick to your 265 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: jaw on the side and so it's just wrapping around 266 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: your ears basically. Yeah, that that sounds trippy to like 267 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: it is coming from inside your Have you ever tried him? 268 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: Do you know what the sound qualities? Like? Sound quality 269 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: is not as good. I used to have a pair. Yeah, 270 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: I used to own a pair, and it's not as good. 271 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: It's definitely not like the audiophiles will take them, um, 272 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: but you know, they do the trick. And if you're 273 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: listening to podcasts you can definitely hear. Yeah, and if 274 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: you're listening to music, like it's more about like feeling 275 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: the music, I guess, but they really do leave your 276 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: ears like entirely clear. Yeah. Maybe that's better than me 277 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: strapping a boom box onto my bike I can't hear. 278 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: Probably probably makes more sense. Yeah, but I love boom 279 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: by Andy C. I picture you're strapping a boom box 280 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: onto your head, like like it's so like unbalanced. Oh 281 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 1: no no, I'll be safe out there. What is something 282 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 1: that you think is underrated? Well, yeah, so that I 283 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 1: kind of already give you my answer, which is biking outside. Yeah. Ok, yeah, 284 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 1: that's that's that's the thing that's super underrated. Everything is 285 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: all there's a theme here, you know, I really, I really, 286 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: but yeah, I I've been enjoying being outside so so 287 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: much it's a real workout, is super hard, and I 288 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: don't know, I just feel like I have to be 289 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: like incredibly alert. It feels like I'm like some kind 290 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: of superhero sometimes just looking at my environment while I'm biking. 291 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,360 Speaker 1: It's it's a good it's a good feeling. I love 292 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: the freedom of it. I feel like it's like the 293 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: one of the few. It's one of the first things 294 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: I've done recently that I actually felt like I did 295 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: when I was a kid, Like doing something. It feels 296 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: exactly like when I'd be like, I'll be back in 297 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: the our mom and I'm like getting on my bike 298 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: and I'm going to seven eleven, like further down. Because 299 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: there was a slurpy flavor I wanted that they didn't 300 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: have my seven eleven ship and that like sense of 301 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 1: I think, being free and like having the wind in 302 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: my face. I was That was like a thing I 303 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: really wasn't prepared for. As I really started like biking 304 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: more and more and more, I was like, oh man, 305 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: this is like it's it's activating all these feelings. It's 306 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: so great and all of a sudden, New York City 307 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: feels like really small.

That's what 311 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 1: I noticed when I started biking around New York. Is 312 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: like I had learned New York geography as like a 313 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: series of islands based around the subway stops that I 314 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: had gone to and so, and then biking just allows 315 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: you to like kind of connect all of those and 316 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: actually see, oh, this is actually super super I never 317 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: I never feel more dumb than when I bike through 318 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: somewhere and I'm like, oh my god, this is just 319 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: on the other side of this part in let's don't 320 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 1: know what the funk I thought this was.

And there is a developing, 324 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: worsening humanitarian crisis on the other side of the border. 325 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: In Del Rio, Texas. There are mostly Haitian migrants currently 326 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: living under a bridge and based they just waiting to 327 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: see if the United States will help them. Yeah, and 328 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 1: the answer seems to be no. It's sadly they're seeking 329 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: asylum in the United States, and with you know, Trump 330 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: and Biden, they seem to be doing the same thing, 331 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: which is basically telling them, no, we are unable to 332 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: do that. Biden hasn't deviated much from Trump's policies, which 333 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: is essentially like wait in Mexico during this period, and 334 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: we will use a CDC guideline to sort of justify 335 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: sending people back on flights no matter what, under the 336 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: guise of essentially protecting the US from COVID. And a 337 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: lot of people are really skeptical whether or not that 338 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: is even having the positive results they claim to have 339 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: by saying like, oh, these people have we got to 340 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: get them out because of the pandemic. But it's just 341 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: a way to justify the inhumane treatment of these people 342 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,959 Speaker 1: who are seeking asylum. And you know, again cramped conditions, 343 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: glacial pace of processing people, just we're seeing the same problems, 344 00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: you know, just sort of play out over and over 345 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: and predictably. Republicans are pouncing on this moment as like 346 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 1: a way to paint displaced people as subhuman and also 347 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: to try and create a scandal that they can campaign 348 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: on for Joe Biden because xenophobia it is a great 349 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: motivating tactic for their base, which is to point at 350 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: something at the board and say, look, what's happening because 351 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden. I get out there and vote for 352 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: someone who will treat them like not people. And we've 353 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 1: already seen pictures of the fucking border patrol, like on 354 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: horses whipping people. I don't know if you saw those 355 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,959 Speaker 1: images yet, but it is a really, really terrible scene. 356 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: And Biden, you know, it's totally aware of this. I 357 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: think the dynamic, especially as it relates to the conservative 358 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,239 Speaker 1: sort of painting of this this incident right now. And 359 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: I think that's why he's barely changed the policy since 360 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: he took office, because he doesn't want that. He doesn't 361 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: want to give the right the the optic win of 362 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: essentially being humane and allowing them to turn it into 363 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: this guy's just just basically burning the borders down. You know, 364 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: it's free for all over here at this point, um, 365 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 1: And it's and then at the same time, continued sort 366 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: of disregard for Haiti's place in the Western hemisphere and 367 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: why we're at this place, because there's typically a really 368 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: a strong connection between people who are seeking asylum in 369 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: the United States are trying to get into the United 370 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: States and US meddling in their country at some point 371 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: to and destabilizing it. And yeah, Hatie is a really 372 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: good example of that for sure. Yeah, I mean I think, 373 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: you know, the backdrop behind all of this is like 374 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: the earthquake, it's Haiti having lost its president to assassination 375 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: very recently. And yeah, it's it's sad to see, you 376 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 1: know the fact that Biden isn't doing very much right 377 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: now and is not changing post Trump, is not is 378 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: not really reversing many of these policies. Yeah, it's it's um, 379 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: it definitely feels like an optics thing for sure. Yeah, 380 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: it's it's the only way you can, man, I think, 381 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: because already there's problems as it relates to you know, 382 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: the the COVID mandates, as he you know, he's trying 383 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: to play a very walk of fine line with that. 384 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: There's also like he's got the U n stuff happening 385 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 1: this week where he's going to try and like beg 386 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: Mike mcrown to like like the US again because the 387 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: whole submarine sale incident. But yeah, I mean I think 388 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: I kind of saw vague reference to that. But because yeah, 389 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: because they're like, hey, like we sell nuclear subs not 390 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: you guys to Australia. It's just it's all part of 391 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: this pact of the New Zealand Australia sort of US 392 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: sort of uh you know, Pacific Pact against China. But 393 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to the Haitians, you know, 394 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: like there have ever since that earthquake in two you know, 395 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: it's caused many people to seek opportunity outside of the 396 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: country at a at a like at a larger rate. 397 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: And then the pandemic killed off a lot of jobs 398 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: that people had in places like Brazil or Chile and 399 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: things like that. So they're moving further to try and 400 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: find a way to survive. And this time there are 401 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: a lot of social media rumors that were like fueling 402 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: a lot of the optimism for these migrants, which essentially 403 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,959 Speaker 1: that they were like, well, there's protected status for Haitians, 404 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: but that was really only applying to the people that 405 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: were within the United States, and now they're being met 406 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: at the border with whips and horses and just saying 407 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: like this now is not the time and putting people 408 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: on flights back to a country that is like verging 409 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: on a like full on like hot civil war and 410 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: so many people like this doesn't even make sense, like 411 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: this is just this is like cruelty upon cruelty to 412 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: do this. And you know, to the point of like 413 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 1: US intervention in Haiti, this has been an issue. You know, 414 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: Haiti's economic development was hamstrung the second that they liberated 415 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: themselves with a slave slave rebellion from France, and France 416 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: essentially said, okay, we'll we'll acknowledge your independence if you 417 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: pay us for the lost property that the slave owners 418 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: experienced as a result of you liberating yourselves. And those 419 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: payments were being made from the beginning of the nineteenth 420 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: century up until the last payment I think was made 421 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,479 Speaker 1: in the forties, the nineteen forties. And you know, again, 422 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: the US was very very quickly entered Haiti like towards 423 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: the or the beginning of the twentieth century, took over 424 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: the treasury and was sort of essentially saying, like, okay, 425 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: of all the wealth in this country is going to 426 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: be redirected towards quote unquote debt that you owe the 427 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,719 Speaker 1: US or France. And this has just been this has 428 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: kept Haiti from actually being able to grow as a 429 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,719 Speaker 1: nation and also be part of a global economy. So 430 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: just like so many layers of of of trauma and 431 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: death to deal with. But this is again, this is 432 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: this is the thing that the American media or mainstream 433 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: media will never do, is like give you a real 434 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,719 Speaker 1: primer on these countries where people are coming from and 435 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: understanding what the u US his role is, and how 436 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: they got to where they are, and on some levels 437 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: should be arguing why we should actually be helping these people, 438 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: because it's typically it's always reasons to like why we shouldn't. 439 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: I mean, Joe Biden famously said in like the nineties 440 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 1: that like Haiti was just inconsequential to the United States 441 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: and that's why he was focused more on the Balkans. 442 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: So yeah, I actually didn't know he said that interesting. Yeah, 443 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: it's it's really and it's like very like he said 444 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 1: it in very dark terms, like essentially saying like if 445 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: it's sunk into the sea, like we wouldn't really, we 446 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: wouldn't think twice about it. Nineties Biden tells on modern 447 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: day Biden a lot quotes from nineties Biden like what 448 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: about Israel, And he said if Haiti just quietly sunk 449 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: into the Caribbean or rose up three feet, it wouldn't 450 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: matter a whole lot in terms of our interest. Oh nice, Yeah, 451 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: I do not. That is wild. That is not a 452 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: great quote. Now, but he's not. He's full of not 453 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: great quotes, you know, like and all the time you're like, no, 454 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: he said that. He's sort of one of those people. 455 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:09,719 Speaker 1: You go, he said that, and then at the other 456 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: side of your mind, Yeah he said that ship. Yeah, right, 457 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: I can also see that. Yeah. I mean the hope 458 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 1: is that he is politically adaptable and changes and like 459 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: kind of feels the the pressure to move towards the 460 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: more humanitarian place. But that is yeah, well, when you're 461 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 1: doing ship, like what he's doing at the border right 462 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: now kind of suggests that he hasn't really changed that 463 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: much with regard to it's not a fight he you know, 464 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: this is like another thing, like I think he expended 465 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: a lot of political capital the visibly because of the 466 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: Afghanistan thing, Like we shouldn't have been there. This is 467 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: always going to happen, so someone had to do it 468 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: because every person before me lie to that they were 469 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: going to do it. So we have to do this 470 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: to like move things along. Yeah, did I Is there 471 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: a better way to do it? Yeah? Probably, but he didn't. 472 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, immigration is just another one 473 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: of those third rail issues in this country where if 474 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: you suddenly have any movement towards a humane policy towards 475 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: allowing people in this country or people who are looking 476 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: for a better life or asylum, that all it's gonna 477 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: do is you're gonna now have to face just a 478 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: media culture war against this idea that you're saying, like 479 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: America doesn't matter and this is just some place for 480 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: people to come flood and be dirty or whatever. And 481 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 1: I don't think, yeah, it doesn't. See I don't know 482 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: how many people have moved sort of past being able 483 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: to look at a situation like that and kind of 484 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: not have that take up all the oxygen in a 485 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: in the news. Yeah, it's another example of just, you know, 486 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: the the US government basically understaffing the people who are 487 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: processing people who are making claims of asylum. And then 488 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: you know they even if they had the right Paul 489 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: See in place, they would yeah, you know, just be 490 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: like yeah. But it's the same thing with the distribution 491 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: of rent relief and you know, the eviction ban. It's 492 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: like they don't they they can have all these big 493 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: ideas and policies, but then they don't actually staff it up, 494 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: so you don't have the bureaucuracy in place to actually 495 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: do anything with your with your ideas, right. I think 496 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: Deli del Rio is having a huge problem with that, 497 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: like specifically right because they're resting a bunch of people, 498 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: They're putting a lot of these people in jail, and 499 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,239 Speaker 1: they just don't have the staff to like to like 500 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: take care of these individuals, to process them. Like it's 501 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: it's it really is like in Del Rio, it is 502 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,719 Speaker 1: bad right now. Yeah, And the sad thing is that 503 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: all these images just will make someone who's not as 504 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: informed just think that there's no solution to something like this. 505 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: And it's like I don't know, we have border patrol, 506 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: we have you know, customs people who work on this, 507 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: but they still I mean, this is this is this 508 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: is why we got to just tighten stuff up rather 509 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: than really understanding like, no, we're not we're not we're 510 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: not servicing these people in the in the manner that 511 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: we should be. We're not, we're not creating the we 512 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: don't have the actual infrastructure to deal with this because 513 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: this isn't this is only going to increase um as 514 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: climate changes uh and gets more intense and causes more 515 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: like environmental disasters. People are going to move. That's just 516 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: a nailed on fact of our our world, and borders 517 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: are not People still move, So there is some like 518 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know when that reckoning is gonna come, 519 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: but you know that's gonna be a huge part of 520 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: how we adapt to the changing world is understanding that, 521 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: like we we have to let go of these ideas 522 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: of like, no, you're from there, you can only stay there, 523 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: and you stay there until you die. And if you don't, like, 524 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: don't even think about coming here, because we really have 525 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: enough for us, stuff for us, and we're not even 526 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: worried on trying to think of how we can make 527 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: it all work. I mean, for a lot of people, 528 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: the reckoning is already happening, like the you know, Human 529 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: Rights Watch published a letter on Wednesday of last week 530 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: just saying, you know, this policy of like heavily guarding 531 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: the roots that people across the border that are hospitable, 532 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: so that pushing people to extremely hot and unforgiving terrain, 533 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: like they are killing people. They're straight up killing people. 534 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: As the world gets hotter and hotter, heat waves are 535 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: already the deadliest form of natural disaster in the US, 536 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: and they're just pushing people into regions where like, in 537 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: terms of how much it's changing, the number of days 538 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: over a hundred degrees fahrenheit per year is expected to 539 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: climb to sixty by mid century, up from the annual 540 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: average of between two thousand. Like that's more than doubled 541 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: in you know, fifty years because of climate change. It's 542 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: going to really kill a lot of people. And but 543 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: again it's like sort of this we're not doing anything, 544 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: like they're they're the ones who are who were doing 545 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: it type logic that conservatism by doing nothing, like just 546 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: by by doing nothing, rather it allows the Democratic Party 547 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: to just not get called out for doing cruel things, 548 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: but you know, passively do the cruel policy that makes 549 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: it easy for them to triangulate with conservatives. Yeah, I mean, so, 550 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: there are so many thoughts regarding heat waves. One is 551 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: that like, actually nobody knows that they are like the 552 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: deadliest natural disasters. Like people don't think about them. They 553 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: don't happen in a as a shocking of a way, 554 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: as like a wildfire or or a storm. You know, 555 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: it's it's such a different kind of death. It is 556 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: also an incredibly terrible death. It is really really brutal, 557 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: Like if you like, look up an article that tells 558 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: you exactly how people die from heat waves, it is 559 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: not pretty. And on top of that, you have border 560 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: patrol agents dumping water at the border, like when when 561 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: these nonprofit organizations leave water for migrants along those routes, 562 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: they dump the water out, And that that to me 563 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: is really something that every time I think about that, 564 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: it's just like I can't even imagine. I can't even 565 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: imagine doing that as policy, right, because Yeah, and the 566 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: way I think we have these departments set up, it's 567 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: just to be like, Okay, who's who's willing to brutalize 568 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: these people? There has nothing to do with compassion meeting 569 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: these people with compassion. It's like these are invaders, So 570 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: take away anything they have that would potentially give them 571 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: safe passage, like you're saying, like cynically, just like cutting 572 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: open water containers and just leaving it. So there's no 573 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: there's nothing for a fucking human person who's wandering the 574 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: earth to try and have a better outcome for themselves. Yeah, 575 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: just fundamentally, we have just such a barbaric system. And 576 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 1: I think I think just in general and most countries 577 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: just think of immigration as this like dirty thing or 578 00:33:55,840 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: a bad thing, rather than acknowledging our place like a 579 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 1: global community and understanding, like you know, at a certain point, 580 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 1: I think a lot of Americans are under the assumption 581 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: that America will be the best place to live forever, 582 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 1: no matter what happens to the planet. And you know, 583 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 1: I think not many people put themselves in a place 584 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: with what if you were trying to cross the border 585 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 1: and what does that look like? But I think exceptionalism 586 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 1: has completely put happy out of people's minds, because that's 587 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: the only way you could look at this and not 588 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,280 Speaker 1: have any compassion. Like I think me and someone who's 589 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,800 Speaker 1: so worried about what the future holds for this planet 590 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: and future generations, it's all I can think of, like, well, 591 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 1: that that could be you, that could be us, That 592 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: could be I mean except maybe the super rich, right right, 593 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: the super rich are going to be just fine. And 594 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: it's other than that, it could be anyone. Yeah, how 595 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: do you want your kids and grandkids to be treated 596 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: when they're trying to cross the Canadian border? And like 597 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,919 Speaker 1: everybody's trying to get the funk out of America. All right, Well, 598 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: speaking of people doing offensive things through inaction and just 599 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: trying not to be offensive while doing the most offensive 600 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: ship in the world, let's talk about Mike Pence. Apparently 601 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,760 Speaker 1: the rumors are getting louder and louder. Mike Pence thinks 602 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,240 Speaker 1: he has a shot at becoming president. I think he's 603 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,359 Speaker 1: always thought that. You just got strong vibes that he 604 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: was like, I'm just gonna let sit back and let 605 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: Trump just funk himself up, just let him explode, and 606 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: we good. You know, he and the Cokes were you know, 607 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: that was that was He's like the number one boy, 608 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 1: the number one good boy for the Koch brothers, and 609 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 1: I think that was their plan for a long time. 610 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: And now they're like, all right, well, let's let's try 611 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: and do it, you know, let's try and get this 612 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: guy in this This is a weird situation for everybody involved. 613 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 1: I mean, like, you know, Trump and him the first 614 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: of all. The more and more you read, it sounds 615 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 1: that Pence had a harder time, like thinking of whether 616 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: or not he should invoke the twenty fifth Amendment, over 617 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: whether or not he should invalidate the election, which I 618 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: was like, Okay, that's he was more willing to invalidate 619 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,799 Speaker 1: the election exactly because it's so thirsty for power. Like 620 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: he just did. He just stood I like, you know, 621 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: we saw we saw him throughout the presidency. He was 622 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 1: like the man in the room who pretended he wasn't 623 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 1: in the room the whole time, close to walk out 624 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: with his like integrity intact, which wasn't gonna happen. But 625 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: him and Trump have been in like really like bad terms, 626 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: you know, ever since the sixth and him like, you know, 627 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: not invalidating the election for him. Uh. And they say 628 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: that like that. They're one of in the new Bob 629 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: Woodward book that's coming out apparently that Trump told him 630 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,240 Speaker 1: like essentially said I don't want to be your friend anymore. Um, 631 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 1: like as the administration was winding down, and you know, 632 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: they sin the last time they spoke was maybe April 633 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 1: after Penn. That's some kind of like heart procedure. And 634 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 1: I'm you know, Trump, he absolutely if he hates you, 635 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 1: he's going to come for you. I mean did it 636 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: to Jeff Sessions. He does it to all kinds of people. 637 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,439 Speaker 1: It's not like he's going to be promoting Pence as 638 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 1: Pence campaigns, like Pence doesn't get to capitalize off of 639 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:20,880 Speaker 1: any of them. And correct me if I'm wrong, but 640 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 1: my impression is that Trump supporters, many of them, do 641 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 1: not actually like Pence. No not. I I got the 642 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,839 Speaker 1: sense from them chanting that they wanted to hang him 643 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: when when they stormed the capital that may maybe they 644 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: weren't the biggest fan.

But so 652 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not sure what his appeal, what he 653 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: thinks his appeal is with the base, aside from like 654 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 1: trying to be you know, because he's not like the 655 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,800 Speaker 1: total piece of ship conservative politician, which is like getting 656 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 1: really popular like you're you know, Marjorie Taylor Greens and 657 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 1: like Lauren Bobert types. That's not him. He's like the 658 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: very upstanding, big Christian energy guy who tries to act 659 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,320 Speaker 1: like he is, like, you know, the most moral figure 660 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,840 Speaker 1: in American history, but right, he still tries tries to 661 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:39,439 Speaker 1: like appear respectable and and seems to care about that, 662 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 1: although like I don't know, that thing about him not 663 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 1: being able to be in a room with a woman 664 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,320 Speaker 1: alone is just like really, yeah, it's still like really, 665 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: I think about it every time I hear his name, 666 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,840 Speaker 1: Like that's troubling. That's troubling for anyone, let alone the 667 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 1: vice president of the United States of America. Like if 668 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:04,279 Speaker 1: I or that somebody I knew had that policy, or 669 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 1: like somebody that I knew, it's like a friend of 670 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 1: a friend had that policy, I'd be like concerned about 671 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: the world, let alone like somebody who is wielding that 672 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: much power, Right, I'm like, are you a monster? Is 673 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: that to do? Like is that the subtext of that? 674 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: Because I know you're trying to act like it's not proper, 675 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 1: but that just raises so many more questions or what 676 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: you believed um of dynamic between a man and a 677 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: woman should be because it's so aggressively gender normative. Just 678 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 1: like this, what does I don't even know where this 679 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: guy is coming from. So we'll see what I mean, 680 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 1: we'll see what he tries to campaign on. What Most 681 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 1: people who are in orbit of Trump like they've been 682 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 1: waiting to see what Trump does, you know, like Nicki 683 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: Haley and those types. But he's got an office in 684 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,359 Speaker 1: d C. He's hiring staffers, he's already got a fundraiser going, 685 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: like it looks like this thing's gonna kick off. Yeah, 686 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 1: but yeah, I think he's very popular with like the 687 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 1: Cokes and other wealthy benefactors, like that was his main thing. 688 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:12,239 Speaker 1: It was kind of appeasing them, soothing the people who 689 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 1: donated to Trump and what like the very wealthy, the 690 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 1: one percent, Like he was sort of the Trump administration's 691 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,759 Speaker 1: mouthpiece to that group. And so he's always got that 692 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,919 Speaker 1: going for him. I feel I feel like he looks 693 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: at himself in the mirror and he's like, you look 694 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,719 Speaker 1: like a fucking president because he's got that like head 695 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,839 Speaker 1: of white hair, you know, and like he looks like, 696 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,479 Speaker 1: you know, he's got that would be cast to play 697 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,760 Speaker 1: a president on TV if he wasn't like a wooden 698 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 1: you know, weirdo. But I do. I think this is 699 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: going to get more uh, coverage than it should. Like, 700 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: my guess is he's going to get a lot of 701 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 1: coverage because most of the mainstream media, like our Democrats 702 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: would think like Democrats and like are like, well, this 703 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 1: is the safe play. This is you know, like the 704 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 1: this is what the Republican Party would do if they 705 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 1: thought like Democrats. Basically is you know, go for the 706 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 1: safe person who's going to make the right statements, you know, 707 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,920 Speaker 1: any the sentiment in the base completely, right, Yeah, and 708 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 1: ignored the sentiment in the base completely, and then my 709 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:26,720 Speaker 1: my assumption is he's going to faith once public polling 710 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 1: gets involved and they're like, oh he has he has 711 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:35,960 Speaker 1: like no support, Trump's just gonna come out swinging. I 712 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,840 Speaker 1: mean that would be fun. And then that's going to 713 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,239 Speaker 1: be an entire messy situation. But I don't know. Yeah, 714 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 1: it's we shall wait and see who thinks they can 715 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 1: do it. I guess the one thing to to kind 716 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 1: of keep an eye out for us for when, specifically 717 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 1: when Trump and Pence could go head to head, because 718 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: then Trump is going to have to explain why Pence 719 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,760 Speaker 1: isn't his his VP pick and pencil have to explain 720 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,479 Speaker 1: why he isn't Trump's VP. Pick and you know that'll 721 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:06,799 Speaker 1: be yeah, Like he was a total he was a 722 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 1: total monster to work with folks being the vice presidents 723 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: of the worst times of my life. Then I knew 724 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,320 Speaker 1: I could do it better. And you're like, oh my god, 725 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,319 Speaker 1: I could definitely see Yeah. I mean he must know 726 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 1: some of the secrets right of the of the administration. 727 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 1: But at the same time, he has to keep Trump 728 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,879 Speaker 1: supporters on who would consider voting for him on his side, right, 729 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 1: so he won't be able to ship talk Trump that much. 730 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: Trump will be able to do whatever he wants, right, Yeah, 731 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 1: I guess what do you think he does? He like 732 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,280 Speaker 1: hits himself and a debate to be like whoa, guys, 733 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 1: whoa that was crazy? Right? How I can't stop hitting myself. 734 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 1: Trump's right a little bit. I don't know how to 735 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,759 Speaker 1: disagree with him without being in direct opposition to him. 736 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,839 Speaker 1: So this is gonna be tough. Mhmm. Yeah, that will 737 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 1: be interesting. It'll be interesting to see Donald Trump, who 738 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,880 Speaker 1: can do whatever he wants. I wonder, I wonder what 739 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,839 Speaker 1: that'll look like. Yeah, he's gonna figure out he's sitting 740 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 1: on all that cash, so we'll see what he does 741 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,239 Speaker 1: with it. It seems like he's just paying his bills 742 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,920 Speaker 1: at the moment. Probably keep it would be my guess. 743 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be 744 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:27,320 Speaker 1: right back. And we're back, and some news on college students. 745 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:34,640 Speaker 1: They are drinking less, smoking more weed. And I don't know, 746 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 1: this seems kind of natural to me, just based on 747 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:44,960 Speaker 1: the fact that the quality of weed has gone way 748 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:50,760 Speaker 1: up and alcohol has always been very like very bad 749 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 1: for you. Why like is it like I just feel 750 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,839 Speaker 1: like the more you know, yeah, like if I mean, 751 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,919 Speaker 1: is the same legal status is alcohol? Why the funk 752 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,799 Speaker 1: would you ever drink alcohol? I think there's you know, 753 00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 1: a few they right now. They said it's like a 754 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 1: six percent increase from like a few years ago when 755 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 1: it comes to like the number of college students who 756 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 1: are using cannabis. And they also found that like alcohol 757 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 1: dipped alcohol US dipped from sixty two percent to fifty 758 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:25,120 Speaker 1: six percent. And like for people of them like who 759 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 1: are like being drunk like in the last month, that 760 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,480 Speaker 1: one from eight percent from thirty five percent, And binge 761 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 1: drinking fell of like pretty pretty like heavily. Uh. They said, like, 762 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,279 Speaker 1: you know, binge drinking has gone from thirty two to 763 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,320 Speaker 1: two percent, which is the lowest in like this studies history. 764 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,440 Speaker 1: And but like over the course of even the show, 765 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,440 Speaker 1: we've we've checked in on this poll before, and it 766 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 1: had always shown that binge drinking was going down and lower, 767 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,520 Speaker 1: and I think that's just always just been the case, 768 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 1: I think. But but I think the reason it got 769 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 1: to these historic loads is because twenty just was a 770 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 1: complete utter lack of of like social social events where 771 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 1: it seems like that's where college students probably that's their 772 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:10,480 Speaker 1: preferred venue for alcohol consumption versus the pandemic, which is like, 773 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,360 Speaker 1: how do I make my dorm room interesting for fucking 774 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:17,319 Speaker 1: twelve hours. Yeah, I'll take some like psychedelics and take 775 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:21,200 Speaker 1: some edibles and watch ted Lasso and I Got a 776 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 1: Day Baby. Yeah, that's a good point. You know, it 777 00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,040 Speaker 1: will be really interesting to see if this dip like 778 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,640 Speaker 1: continues post pandemic. But like just as a as a 779 00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,880 Speaker 1: like individual, like let's just take this for what it is, Like, 780 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,759 Speaker 1: this is like definitely super good news, and that is 781 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 1: that's very cool, Like it's nice to see because like 782 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 1: you know, alcohol is just straight up poison and we 783 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:48,239 Speaker 1: is not in the same way. So it's it's it's 784 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,759 Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. Yeah. This this uh, it's like this 785 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,840 Speaker 1: whole Washington Post article, Like the first like third was 786 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,400 Speaker 1: just this information and then the rest is like debating 787 00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,360 Speaker 1: the differences between like weed and like how bad can be. 788 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 1: And I was like, wait, what's this? Are you this? 789 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,400 Speaker 1: Are you gonna bring up all these scary studies And 790 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 1: you're like, I don't know though, but for young people, man, 791 00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:10,759 Speaker 1: it can really And I'm like, yeah, there are some 792 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,800 Speaker 1: studies where like certain developmental things can be stunted to 793 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,520 Speaker 1: a certain extent, but not to the point when you're like, 794 00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 1: what is alcohol, like, you know, truly like the effects 795 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:24,799 Speaker 1: of alcohol and people can are just horrendous. It's really terrible. Yeah, 796 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,440 Speaker 1: I mean it's also like weed studies are so complicated 797 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,680 Speaker 1: to site to like I think I think that's changing. 798 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,920 Speaker 1: But for really really long time, scientists weren't even allowed 799 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 1: to to study weed unless it came from like one 800 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,960 Speaker 1: specific farm slash lab in the US that was allowed 801 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,440 Speaker 1: to grow it, and the strains and what they were 802 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,800 Speaker 1: growing was not at all representative of what was out 803 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 1: in the wild in the public um, and so like 804 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:54,520 Speaker 1: that that like not allowing scientists to properly study weed 805 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,279 Speaker 1: means that like up until very recently and a lot 806 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,319 Speaker 1: of studies were just like, it's just it's it's really 807 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 1: really hard to take anything from those studies unfortunately, and 808 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 1: they the I was just gonna say, it looks like 809 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:11,640 Speaker 1: the byeline on this Washington Post OpEd is Pete cores. 810 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:20,280 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe that has something to do this Bush Augustus. Okay, 811 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 1: but yeah, it's it's definitely like, you know, times are changing, 812 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,880 Speaker 1: and obviously the pandemics just like changed all of people's habits, 813 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 1: but they've also seen like psychedelics. Use of psychedelics has 814 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 1: gone up by four percent too, and I think that's 815 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:34,880 Speaker 1: kind of like the I feel like that's sort of 816 00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:40,800 Speaker 1: the newer trend in recreate people using drugs recreationally is psychedelics, 817 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:45,040 Speaker 1: because it's like that's another thing where we've been prevented 818 00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 1: from really doing in depth research into psychedelics, and the 819 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,400 Speaker 1: stuff that we are only beginning to hear about is 820 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,400 Speaker 1: still it seems very compelling. People see like uses and 821 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,520 Speaker 1: just outside of a trip like that, it's it can 822 00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 1: be spiritually healing that you can and you don't heal 823 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,759 Speaker 1: from certain traumas and things like that, and so yeah, 824 00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure, and I feel like I always see like 825 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:07,839 Speaker 1: on TikTok or like a lot of gen Z people 826 00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:11,279 Speaker 1: like doing like trippy psychedelic videos and being like things 827 00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,400 Speaker 1: like we don't realize about psychedelics and why, I like 828 00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,959 Speaker 1: the government has kept us from like thinking these things. 829 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,239 Speaker 1: So there's definitely this utility I think to psychedelics now 830 00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,359 Speaker 1: that people are like sort of connecting to. But yeah, 831 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:28,000 Speaker 1: it's the trend is going down. I should acknowledge that 832 00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:32,000 Speaker 1: there is a difference between like the effects of alcohol 833 00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 1: and weed. And I definitely chose alcohol in a in 834 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:39,400 Speaker 1: a big way in my life and the effects are bad. 835 00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,480 Speaker 1: But I shouldn't be like, why would you ever choose drinking, 836 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,759 Speaker 1: because I certainly did for a long time. I mean, yeah, 837 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,360 Speaker 1: I mean I don't think drinking is going away for 838 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,240 Speaker 1: what it's worth. I don't think it's like gonna go away. 839 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,000 Speaker 1: But unfortunately, I think that people thinking about it a 840 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,120 Speaker 1: little bit more is a good idea. Yeah, I agree, exactly. 841 00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:02,279 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about COVID safe COVID preventative measures. 842 00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,680 Speaker 1: There were the Emmys two nights ago when Seth Rogan 843 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:11,440 Speaker 1: just got up and like people were laughing and it 844 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,480 Speaker 1: had the cadence of a stand up routine. But he 845 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,799 Speaker 1: was just like, they lied to us and said this 846 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,440 Speaker 1: was gonna be outside. It's not outside. No one's wearing masks. 847 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,920 Speaker 1: Why I feel unsafe? I wouldn't have come if I 848 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:29,080 Speaker 1: knew this, Like literally all he said, Like I played 849 00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:31,400 Speaker 1: the clip because he's truly like the Canadian in a 850 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,880 Speaker 1: room full of Americans. He's like the funk are you 851 00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:37,640 Speaker 1: guys doing it here? Like uh so, let's just hear 852 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 1: seth room. But yeah, it's funny because his disbelief does 853 00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:46,160 Speaker 1: sound like a bit clearly not anyway. Good to be 854 00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,200 Speaker 1: here at the Emmy Awards. Let me start by saying, 855 00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:52,919 Speaker 1: there is way too many of us in this little room. 856 00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:57,000 Speaker 1: What are you doing? They said this was outdoors, it's not. 857 00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:03,319 Speaker 1: They lied to We're in a hermetically sealed ten right now. 858 00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 1: I would not have come to this. Why is there 859 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:12,840 Speaker 1: a roof? It's that we have three chandeliers and that 860 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:18,279 Speaker 1: we make sure we don't kill Eugene Levy tonight out 861 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,960 Speaker 1: for a fellow Canadian. But you know, I love that 862 00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:25,360 Speaker 1: he talks about Eugene Levy. I had not seen that clip. 863 00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:29,799 Speaker 1: That's a good clip. Yeah, he's really. It really does 864 00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 1: feel like like if I were at a party and 865 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,839 Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, it's gonna be all safe as all outdoors, 866 00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:40,240 Speaker 1: vaccinated guests only, and you're like, yo, like someone's fucking 867 00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,799 Speaker 1: two car garage and there's spreading of us in here. 868 00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,719 Speaker 1: What are we doing? If you're like, oh, he's so 869 00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:49,600 Speaker 1: funny man by observing shit, but seriously, they said this 870 00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:54,000 Speaker 1: is going to be outside, that's actually not a stand 871 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:58,640 Speaker 1: up routine. He's just talking, right, It's a dystopian nightmare 872 00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:02,000 Speaker 1: where you're like just talking making observations of things that 873 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:07,680 Speaker 1: are happening, and people like Twilight look at him. He said, 874 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:11,000 Speaker 1: why are we here? They lied to us. We're in 875 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:17,479 Speaker 1: a frematically sealed tent. Yeah, yeah, great. He looks great. 876 00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,520 Speaker 1: He's like kind of aging into Steve Martin a little bit. 877 00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:25,400 Speaker 1: He's got like a Steve martin ish vibe about him. Um, 878 00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:29,720 Speaker 1: what do you mean? He's like, yeah, it's like clean cut, 879 00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:34,640 Speaker 1: he's got gray hair, he's got classes, but he doesn't 880 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,960 Speaker 1: have like an arrow going through his head or like 881 00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:41,960 Speaker 1: like like a fiddle. What was it? No, Yeah, he 882 00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:45,000 Speaker 1: ain't banjoin. He's he's throwing. He's throwing that clay, you 883 00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:49,680 Speaker 1: know what I mean, doing the pottery. Yeah, I like that. Well, 884 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:53,880 Speaker 1: speaking of um, you know, COVID logic, that is difficult 885 00:51:53,920 --> 00:52:00,279 Speaker 1: to differentiate from comedy. There's I don't know, like what 886 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:06,839 Speaker 1: what was the outlet that published part baby. Yeah. So, 887 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:11,000 Speaker 1: I mean basically the background or the foundation of this 888 00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,680 Speaker 1: is that Fox News, you know, poles are saying Americans 889 00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:18,240 Speaker 1: are worried about the pandemic. They embrace vaccines and masks 890 00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:24,800 Speaker 1: and are even okay with mandates. Uh you know, I 891 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,160 Speaker 1: mean the mandates are a little less popular, but that's 892 00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,120 Speaker 1: arriving to the point of a fifty percent plus one 893 00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:37,840 Speaker 1: yea fifty yeah and so and even some conservatives are like, yeah, no, 894 00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,279 Speaker 1: we're definitely on the wrong side of this. How did 895 00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:45,480 Speaker 1: we get here? And this gentleman has has an idea 896 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:50,399 Speaker 1: that I am kind of impressed with the kind of 897 00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:54,399 Speaker 1: logical leaps that that they've taken here. But basically their 898 00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:59,400 Speaker 1: explanation is that the rest of the world has reverse 899 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:06,040 Speaker 1: psycho apologied them into being against vaccines. Because this is 900 00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:10,040 Speaker 1: a because Howard Stern was like, you know, mocking people 901 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 1: who had passed away from who are like COVID deniers, 902 00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,600 Speaker 1: Like really prominent COVID deniers who eventually succumbed to the 903 00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:19,200 Speaker 1: to the virus. And he starts off saying, quote, this 904 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,120 Speaker 1: is all from the op ed. This is not this 905 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:25,759 Speaker 1: is not fine. Do you want to know why I 906 00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,400 Speaker 1: think Howard Stern is going full monster with his mockery 907 00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,000 Speaker 1: of three fellow human beings who died of the coronavirus 908 00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,520 Speaker 1: Because the leftist like Stern and CNN l O l 909 00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:38,400 Speaker 1: and Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and Anthony Fauci are 910 00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:42,600 Speaker 1: deliberately looking to manipulate Trump supporters into not getting vaccinated. 911 00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,040 Speaker 1: Nothing else makes sense to me. In a country where 912 00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,680 Speaker 1: elections are decided on razor thin margins, it does it 913 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,799 Speaker 1: not benefit one side if their opponents simply dropped dead. 914 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,600 Speaker 1: If I wanted to use their verse psychology to convince 915 00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,520 Speaker 1: people not to get a life staving vaccination, I would 916 00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,200 Speaker 1: do exactly what Stern and the left are doing. I 917 00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,920 Speaker 1: would bully and taunt and mock and ridicule you for 918 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:06,799 Speaker 1: not getting vaccinated, knowing the human response would be, hey, 919 00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:10,120 Speaker 1: fuck you, I'm never getting vaccinated. No one wants to 920 00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,080 Speaker 1: cave to a piece of ship like that, or a 921 00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,200 Speaker 1: scumbag like Fauci or any of the scumbags at CNN, 922 00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,280 Speaker 1: L O L. So we don't and what's the result. 923 00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,319 Speaker 1: They're all vaccinated and we're not. And when you look 924 00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,879 Speaker 1: at the numbers, it's only it's only numbers that matter, 925 00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,600 Speaker 1: which is who's dying. It's overwhelmingly the unvaccinated who are dying. 926 00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:30,760 Speaker 1: And they have just manipulated millions of their political enemies 927 00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:34,879 Speaker 1: into the unvaccinated camp. According to CDC, again he talks 928 00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:38,440 Speaker 1: about who's dying of China flup um when he goes 929 00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,560 Speaker 1: on and say could it be could it possibly be 930 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:44,040 Speaker 1: the leftist manipulated huge swaths of Trump's voters into believing 931 00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,600 Speaker 1: they are owning the left by not taking life saving 932 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:50,239 Speaker 1: the life saving Trump vaccine. I am strongly pro vaccine, 933 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,719 Speaker 1: and now believe that Biden, the media, Hollywood, and the 934 00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,600 Speaker 1: left in general or deliberately being as nasty as possible 935 00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,640 Speaker 1: as a way to use reverse psychology against Trump supporters. 936 00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,000 Speaker 1: They know that the ugly or they get, the more 937 00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:04,799 Speaker 1: unvaccinated Trump supporters will dig in and refuse to get vaccinated. Well, 938 00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:08,400 Speaker 1: I think that's the plan. They're vaccinated, we're not. The unvaccinated, 939 00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:11,440 Speaker 1: almost exclusively ones she's dying, who's winning the debate, who's 940 00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:19,200 Speaker 1: owning who? I that was exhausting, Miles, But it's my 941 00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:26,120 Speaker 1: My eyebrows are permanently stuck in this quizzical what are 942 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,600 Speaker 1: I'm sorry I put on my eyebrows too high this morning. 943 00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:34,000 Speaker 1: It's like this whole fucking idea that again, it's never 944 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:38,520 Speaker 1: personal responsibility in this case, apparently because we've been manipularly 945 00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,719 Speaker 1: been We've been gamed like a parent would a three 946 00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:45,760 Speaker 1: year old because that's our intellect.

You have 964 00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:52,279 Speaker 1: been owned by the unscrupulous monsters that have weaponized your 965 00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:56,880 Speaker 1: partisanship against you to stay in power. Because the ideology 966 00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:02,160 Speaker 1: for the conservatives is basically don't agree with rules. Ever. Yeah, 967 00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:05,719 Speaker 1: so how the fuck are you being manipulated by them? 968 00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:09,160 Speaker 1: If your marching orders are to just to stand antithetically 969 00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:14,040 Speaker 1: diametrically opposed to whatever they're saying, that's that's that's of 970 00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:17,480 Speaker 1: your own creation. That's how the discourse has operated on 971 00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:20,280 Speaker 1: that side for the last you know, however many decades. 972 00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:23,400 Speaker 1: It's not about Okay, yeah, we can't agree on this thing. 973 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:27,680 Speaker 1: It's just full stop what they say. No, I'm against it. 974 00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:32,000 Speaker 1: They're manipulating me into not getting a vaccine. It's I'm 975 00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:33,600 Speaker 1: but again, you know, like I don't know if the 976 00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:35,320 Speaker 1: tone of this is to also try and be like, 977 00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,400 Speaker 1: so we have to take things back, you know, conservatives 978 00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:41,640 Speaker 1: and get vaccinated, because clearly he is trying to draw 979 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 1: a line of like this is part of the health 980 00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,720 Speaker 1: of the party that's on the line, and yes, maybe 981 00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,920 Speaker 1: we've been owned, but are you so are you urging 982 00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:54,680 Speaker 1: them to get vaccinated? What's this also feels like because 983 00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:58,000 Speaker 1: so much of the right is like fueled by really 984 00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,880 Speaker 1: wealthy people just funding like think tanks, this also feels 985 00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,560 Speaker 1: like it could be a strategy thought up by a 986 00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:10,080 Speaker 1: conservative think tank to like try to get Breitbart readers 987 00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:13,400 Speaker 1: and like the conservative movement on board. They're like, okay, 988 00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:17,200 Speaker 1: so if we say the liberals don't want them to 989 00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:22,200 Speaker 1: do the vaccine, then maybe they do vaccine. Maybe this 990 00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:25,919 Speaker 1: is actually reverse psychology for conservatives where they're like trying 991 00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,920 Speaker 1: to convince conservatives and people who are unvaccinated to get 992 00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:33,720 Speaker 1: vaccinated by saying like they're getting like, you know, maybe 993 00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:37,600 Speaker 1: well this is the thing that you say, this ends 994 00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,800 Speaker 1: right with sort of this whole thing of like being like, 995 00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:43,080 Speaker 1: you know, the number is startling when you're talking about 996 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:46,280 Speaker 1: the percentage of people who are dying that are unvaccinated, 997 00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,080 Speaker 1: and I open or thinking in this un quoting quote. 998 00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,960 Speaker 1: Forget cases, forget mandates, forget masks and Howard Stern. When 999 00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:55,080 Speaker 1: you learn that almost everyone dying is unvaccinated, that's to 1000 00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:57,720 Speaker 1: come to Jesus moment. I could be wrong, Maybe the 1001 00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:59,920 Speaker 1: Left isn't that evil and sly, But when I think 1002 00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,200 Speaker 1: the unvaccinated lying they're dying, being told by their doctors, sorry, 1003 00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:05,200 Speaker 1: there's nothing more we can do to get enough oxygen 1004 00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,800 Speaker 1: to your lungs, I don't laugh. My heartbreaks for that person. 1005 00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,600 Speaker 1: Imagine lying there, dying, thinking that all you had to 1006 00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:14,520 Speaker 1: do was get the Trump vaccine. Rebrand. Even if this 1007 00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:18,120 Speaker 1: isn't the left plan, who's owning who? So? I think 1008 00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:21,640 Speaker 1: this is trying to use the the verbiage of ownage 1009 00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:26,240 Speaker 1: right to get to speak to the conservatives be like, no, 1010 00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:31,240 Speaker 1: we're getting owned the piece of writing. Yeah, this is 1011 00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:33,120 Speaker 1: a fascinating piece of writing. Like I feel like you 1012 00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:36,840 Speaker 1: need to dissect it in so many different ways, but yeah, 1013 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:40,920 Speaker 1: the rebranding it calling the Trump vaccine saying like, look 1014 00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:44,640 Speaker 1: like people who vote like us are dying, so you 1015 00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:49,640 Speaker 1: should get the vaccine. That's kind of smart, you. I 1016 00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:53,280 Speaker 1: just want these people to get vaccinated, so whatever it takes, honestly, Yeah, 1017 00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:58,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, that's it's like fine if if it's like, 1018 00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:02,080 Speaker 1: well it should we just on this podcast admit to 1019 01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:04,800 Speaker 1: this having been our strategy all along, as we were 1020 01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:08,600 Speaker 1: trying to antagonize them into not getting the vaccine so 1021 01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:12,840 Speaker 1: that we so we can blow up on info Worth. Yeah, 1022 01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:16,920 Speaker 1: so first of all, okay, here we go, uh here, 1023 01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:20,680 Speaker 1: here's a clean edit point. And we were in fact 1024 01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,960 Speaker 1: hoping that you wouldn't get vaccinated. Now that our playbook 1025 01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:28,000 Speaker 1: has been exposed, though, I guess you should read this 1026 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,400 Speaker 1: bright part article and who's owning who? I mean, you 1027 01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:33,360 Speaker 1: have to ask yourself that question. Just go get fucking vaccinated? 1028 01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:38,840 Speaker 1: Thanks Who's But I think they're I'm clearly like they 1029 01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,920 Speaker 1: that the tone seems to suggest that at the upper 1030 01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:46,400 Speaker 1: echelons of the sort of conservative media apparatus, that this 1031 01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:50,280 Speaker 1: is a problem that they that that they know, and 1032 01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:55,480 Speaker 1: they're like fun, fuck dude, like like they believe everything, 1033 01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:59,040 Speaker 1: and now we're trying to convince them to not like 1034 01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:02,800 Speaker 1: to avoid preventable death because they've took it as a 1035 01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:09,120 Speaker 1: culture war battle. It's yeah, it's truly mind boggling how 1036 01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:15,360 Speaker 1: like Tucker Carlson like gets through a night and like 1037 01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:19,800 Speaker 1: sleeps because it's yeah, these things are just so plainly 1038 01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:24,240 Speaker 1: evident that he's killing people, He's killing his own viewers. 1039 01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, that's that's pretty wild. Yeah. I mean 1040 01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:31,840 Speaker 1: what's funny is like the day before he wrote some 1041 01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:35,160 Speaker 1: like article that said anti vactors hype but not anti 1042 01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:40,680 Speaker 1: antivactor's hype benign transmission numbers as proof vax doesn't work. 1043 01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,480 Speaker 1: So the day before you spent your time just throwing 1044 01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:46,280 Speaker 1: more garbage out there into the world. Then the next 1045 01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:48,600 Speaker 1: day you're like, well, who's owning who? You're like, I 1046 01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:53,439 Speaker 1: think you are, sir. The clicks, you're owning them for clicks, 1047 01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,960 Speaker 1: just the casual reference to foul cheap, being a scum vegs. 1048 01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:01,920 Speaker 1: It's okay, I guess. I mean, if that's what, what 1049 01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,200 Speaker 1: did he do? Because by the end of it, you're like, 1050 01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:07,120 Speaker 1: we need to get vaccinated. So then you were wrong 1051 01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:10,240 Speaker 1: about him. Yeah, but he was such a scubag about it. 1052 01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:12,680 Speaker 1: He was he didn't want us to You could tell 1053 01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:17,560 Speaker 1: when he was. He was begging us. This hugely earnest 1054 01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:21,240 Speaker 1: human being who has never said anything like that doesn't 1055 01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:26,120 Speaker 1: appear to be capable of insincerity. Uh, he you could 1056 01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 1: tell he was being insince here when he told us 1057 01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:31,520 Speaker 1: we should get the vaccine. Yeah, exactly, And it's that, 1058 01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:36,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's once again just America bending over backwards 1059 01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:41,760 Speaker 1: to have the lowest standards possible for conservative people that 1060 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,160 Speaker 1: like somehow we have to make it not their fault. 1061 01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:48,080 Speaker 1: So yeah, there there are the children we have to 1062 01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:53,800 Speaker 1: bring with us, drag them along forward into the future. Yes, well, 1063 01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:56,760 Speaker 1: what other wait, hold on, what other reverse psychology schemes 1064 01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,320 Speaker 1: can we get them to do? Oh? Ship, that's a 1065 01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:02,320 Speaker 1: great point. And you know, you know, yeah, you know 1066 01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:06,760 Speaker 1: what's really cool or fucking closed borders where no one 1067 01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:10,760 Speaker 1: can get get in or out. You hear that, keep 1068 01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:12,720 Speaker 1: everybody where they are. And then you're like, no, man, 1069 01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:15,160 Speaker 1: we need our freedom of movement. Man, because we need 1070 01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:16,880 Speaker 1: that kind of agency as human beings. We have to 1071 01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:18,920 Speaker 1: expend that to others across the cloak. You're like, whoa, 1072 01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:24,440 Speaker 1: it's working. It was that easy. Well, Ari l it's 1073 01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:28,160 Speaker 1: been such a pleasure having you on the daily zeitgeist. 1074 01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:32,880 Speaker 1: Where can people find you and follow you?

I probably post more on Instagram 1077 01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,520 Speaker 1: at a d r s and listen to the podcast, 1078 01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:47,680 Speaker 1: listen to Vice News reports also having new podcasts coming out, 1079 01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:50,280 Speaker 1: you know, and of October beginning of November. I can't 1080 01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:51,840 Speaker 1: talk about it just yet, but you don't keep an 1081 01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,800 Speaker 1: eye out for that, Okay, do you can?

I just really appreciated this, this idea, so 1088 01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:23,800 Speaker 1: he tweeted. My favorite part in learning anything new is 1089 01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:27,200 Speaker 1: learning the reasons why everyone in the discipline hates each other. 1090 01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:32,960 Speaker 1: And that just feels so right, Like coming back to 1091 01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:38,560 Speaker 1: the whole cycling thing, you know, electric cyclists versus like 1092 01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:44,840 Speaker 1: wearing cyclists versus you know, city bikers versus delivery people 1093 01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:49,920 Speaker 1: like that, those like turf wars are just so intense 1094 01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:53,080 Speaker 1: and I was kind of unaware of any of it, 1095 01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:56,640 Speaker 1: and I'm I'm learning a lot right now. Yeah. Yeah, 1096 01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,560 Speaker 1: it's it's hard out there people talking ship when I'm 1097 01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,800 Speaker 1: on my bike. That's only happened twice, but it's like 1098 01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,600 Speaker 1: people like nice bike. Like one guy was like on 1099 01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:11,080 Speaker 1: a mountain bike.

But it's so true though. The 1102 01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:19,760 Speaker 1: minute you learn about you, you enter a new world. 1103 01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,560 Speaker 1: You're like, oh, like these people hate each other and 1104 01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:25,320 Speaker 1: they love the same things, but they hate each other 1105 01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:29,840 Speaker 1: right right, right exactly. Yeah, that's any whenever people congregate 1106 01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:32,200 Speaker 1: around a thing there we always split off in our 1107 01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:35,800 Speaker 1: little groups. Yep, miles, where can people find you? What's 1108 01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:40,320 Speaker 1: a tweet you've been enjoying? Twitter?
