Yeah, 157 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: I think it's weird. I think it's weird that people care. 158 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: First of all, by Superman is just his son who's 159 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: just like hanging out and cool. Right, Oh that's not Clark, 160 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: that's not Clark Kent. No, no, No, No, because everybody 161 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: that's interesting because I think everybody's reaction it's it's probably 162 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: came from a group of men who have Superman tattoos, 163 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: who are probably by Superman book that this is supposed 164 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: to be Superman, not super sexuality. No, I just think 165 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: it's weird, is what? What is? So this is Superman's offspring? 166 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: What is Superman like as a parent in these because 167 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: I feel like he always dips for like years at 168 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: a time and just like go and hangs out in space. Right, 169 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: that's those tea ball games he's shooting with his son 170 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: in the gym. You know, is it Superman in Lowis 171 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: Lanes offspring? Is that? Yes? Absolutely? Yeah. The last time 172 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: I paid attention to Superman it was like when I 173 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: was six and Christopher Reeves. Everyone is super cranky about this. 174 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: No one pays attention to fucking Superman. Yeah, I think 175 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: that's where it comes from, right is there like no 176 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: Christopher Reeves, but like he's into Lowis Lane, like no 177 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: one cares. Yeah. I mean my kids are into Superman 178 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: because it's just like the the easiest superhero to get 179 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: your head around. But I feel like, yeah, it's just 180 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: very entry level, very like gateway drug for other superheroes. 181 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: So he's like the sliced sandwich bread of superheroes. Why 182 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: don't you move on to Chivadah or Brios. Yeah, I 183 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 1: feel like even now my three year old, when he's interested, 184 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: like when he wants me to read him a superhero 185 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: bedtimes Superman bedtime story, it's more like nostalgia because he's 186 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: like way more into Spider Man and the Flash and 187 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: like the other more specific interesting superheroes. And but like, yeah, 188 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: literally no one cares about Superman. Everyone is so angry, 189 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: and I promise you none of them are reading the comics. Yeah, 190 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 1: I think that's right. Don't don't come for Danielle in this. 191 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: That's it's the truth. What is h what is something 192 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: you think is underrated? You know what I think is underrated? 193 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: Finding out that your cats want to cuddle you a 194 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: whole bunch Yeah, along hard road. I know it took 195 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: a while. How many years are we talking since your 196 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: life to them cuddling you? Yeah, a bunch of years. 197 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: They don't like me. How many cats are we talking? Two? Two? 198 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: And they're sin in ripley tough, don't like me, but 199 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 1: now they do. And it's like super fucking great, are 200 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: you what are you like commemorating this, like you're taking 201 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: pictures and stuff because this is the first. No, they 202 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: don't know. They don't like pictures, and they crawl all 203 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: over me. They don't like pictures. They're camera know, they 204 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: know when I'm taking a picture of them with a camera. 205 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: They you have to like pretend you're like reading something 206 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: while taking their picture. Yeah, absolutely, So you can't even 207 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: come with receipts about this. This is just something. Yeah, 208 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: So for all we know, you might be lying about this, 209 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,719 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna take your word for it. And I 210 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: mean I think that I think it's generally the case 211 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: like that. The status quo for most cat relationships is 212 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: that they like tolerate their human in a lot of cases. 213 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 1: So like, can you tell cat owners out there, like 214 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: how did you turn this corner where they're like all 215 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: about you? You know? I just awaited it out, yeah, 216 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: and built them massive play structures and all. Like again, 217 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 1: I'm like a like weird step mom where I was like, 218 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: come to me, watch as I build this giant structure 219 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: in your name? What do I need to do for 220 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: you to call me mother? I just need you to 221 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: love me. Alright, let's take a quick break and we 222 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: will be right back to talk about the Trump media 223 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: and butter. And we're back, and we're riding the roller 224 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: coaster of Danielle's relationship with her cats. Apparently they're they're 225 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: causing all sorts of havoc, my guests, they know that 226 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: it's national Make a Dog's Day Day. But taking back 227 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: to power, Yeah, taking back the power. They're like this. Alright, 228 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: let's let's get into the the third announcement from Donald 229 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: Trump about how he's going to change the landscape of media. 230 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: He has announced Trump Media Technology Group because he believes 231 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: he can take down big tech by creating a worse 232 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: product that can't compete at all with Netflix, Twitter, and 233 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: even a company called I Heart Media. He's coming for us, 234 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: coming for us media. I haven't, but somehow this man has. 235 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: And yeah, he also thinks he can go after Amazon's 236 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: cloud service and like Stripe for like payments and stuff. 237 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: This is all because he thinks that he can create 238 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: like essentially an uncancellable Internet infrastructure. So if no matter 239 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: how racist or vile you are, they can't say, like, well, 240 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna take this hosting service away from you, or 241 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna take this way of processing payments from you 242 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: because he'll have his own versions and that will shield 243 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: them from any kind of real scrutiny or criticism. But 244 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: the big one I think that was announced today was 245 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: the Truth social platform. So get ready, let's just give 246 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: a real quick background on like his So this is 247 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: the third in a series. First it was from the 248 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: desk of where he would be issuing communications to publish, 249 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: straight from the desk of Donald Trump, and it was 250 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: a blog and like he just didn't maybe he hadn't 251 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: heard of those and he thought he was inventing them, 252 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: but that that barely got any attention, and so that 253 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: went away. In July, this is one I didn't even 254 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,479 Speaker 1: know about. He quietly launched a new social media platform 255 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: called get or, which really should be the name of 256 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: Larry the cable guys platform, but he went for it 257 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: G E T t R and that apparently fell apart, 258 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: which you know, he's taking a lot of swings. He's 259 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: just letting, letting loose. And now he's announced his third 260 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: an app dubbed Truth because yeah, that the he he wants. 261 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: He thinks that the truth is I don't know. This 262 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: is pretty in line with his overall strategy of like 263 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,239 Speaker 1: naming things the exact opposite of what they are. Yeah, right, 264 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: like saying he's a president rather than a despotic fucking 265 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: in the sile or something is Donald Trump the president? 266 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: It depends on which news channel you watch, because there 267 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: seemed to be competing narratives. But like with the truth Thing, 268 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: predictably right, posting to the site will be called true 269 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: thing and fucking each individual post will be known as 270 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: a truth. So I get that they're fully trying to 271 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: take any meaning out of that word truth by being like, yeah, 272 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: I read truth to that truth from earlier. Who's your 273 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: favorite truth? Or oh yeah, let me some good accounts 274 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 1: for some funny truths to follow. On its social he 275 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: has trademarked the term true thing and retruth, which is 276 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: pretty cool. Uh, you'd you'd hope that it would be 277 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 1: something a little bit more interesting than that. But of 278 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: course this this makes sense because you say absolutely lie 279 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: and you call it your truth. Yeah, shockingly, I know 280 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 1: this is gonna hold under your butts everyone. The project 281 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: launched a beta, and people took a look a little 282 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: behind the curtains and it was seemingly done as cheaply 283 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: and lazily as possible. The site's code is a quote 284 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: mostly unmodified version of Mastodon, which is an open source 285 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: software launched in twice sixteen, and also a badge that's 286 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: very cool. Yes, but anyone can use this, like I 287 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: could use this to launch my own social networking site. 288 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: That's basically what they did. They just took that open 289 00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: source software, didn't even make any modification to it, so 290 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: it was extremely easy for people to immediately hack into 291 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: although you didn't really need to hack into it. They 292 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,959 Speaker 1: launched the beta and people could immediately just sign up 293 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: for accounts with the handles at Donald Trump and at 294 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: Mike Pence and at Donald J. Trump. So somebody got 295 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: that one and immediately posted a photo of a pig 296 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: defecating on its testicles. Yep, that old that old Twitter. 297 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 1: I um, I kind of hate that, but I love it, 298 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: but I hate it. Well, it's just kind of they've 299 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: nailed the perfect visual metaphor for what is happening here. Yeah, 300 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: and it's been a common sort of troll reply on 301 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: Twitter too for just like just spamming threads with that 302 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: image because people like don't want to get it off here. 303 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: But yeah, the it's clear that like everything just not 304 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: much stop put into it. It's really about the I 305 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: guess the optics of saying like this is what I'm 306 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: gonna do, and this is when it's coming out. There 307 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: might be a beta in for some people like at 308 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: the like sort of end of the year, but the 309 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: plans are that this thing is launching in. But there's 310 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: also like really weird guidelines within the website to like 311 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: the slides about like the sort of presentation of the websites, 312 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: like it's a big tent. It's for everyone. Liberals, conservatives, 313 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,239 Speaker 1: independence can all come through. But then there's like this 314 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: fine print that's like truth can like revoke and deactivate 315 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: your account for any reason without you knowing, without you have, 316 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: without even us having to explain. So I don't talk 317 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: shit on your You're going you're literally prohibited from disparaging 318 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,719 Speaker 1: the site or and this is a quote annoying the 319 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: site's employees annoying. There was a cartoon on S and 320 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: L that they took down that was basically like about 321 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: how Disney owned everything. Like this graphic reminds me of 322 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: that cartoon. Yeah, just with all the other brands there, Yeah, 323 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: and just taking everything over. The graphicing question has t 324 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 1: MTG with like a line to truth social verses, and 325 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: then it's like Twitter, Facebook, and then in a separate 326 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: like media content production section, it's tmt G Plus, which 327 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: competes with Netflix and Disney Plus. I don't know how 328 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: they get the plus is brilliant, like Disney Plus, Oh 329 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: ship shit, come on, you think to go along with 330 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: fucking Trump flicks, you know? And HBO maga. Yeah, that's 331 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: pretty good. Actually they should have done that. T MTG 332 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: News is the one that's coming for our ass for 333 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: I Heeart and CNN. That's kind of a flex shoutout 334 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: to heart. I mean, I think because purely all this, 335 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: all of these things are just pointing out or like 336 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: sort of super relatives like within a given industry. So 337 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: it's like, if it's streaming, you're gonna put the streaming 338 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: people there, And if it's radio or podcasting, then if 339 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: they're they're mentioning this bihemoth company. So yeah, it's ah, 340 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: we look forward to your network, although I feel like 341 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 1: they're already out there. The long term opportunity t MTG 342 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: tech Stack, which just sounds like some words they made 343 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: up and put in front of him that. He was like, nice, 344 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: I love a text. Yeah yeah, like you said, they're 345 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: coming for Amazon Cloud computing, uh in Google Cloud. So 346 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: you know they got big, big code for your platform. No, no, 347 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: I just ripped off masted on right. Okay, so some 348 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: real pioneering type ship happening over here. Good to know. Yeah, alright, 349 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: let's uh, let's talk about just a little bit of 350 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: news around the green energy possibilities how we could possibly 351 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 1: fight climate change make the world a little bit more sustainable. 352 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: So you know, as Congress debated last week whether to 353 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: pare down the Biden administrations climate proposals, uh and spoiler alert, 354 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: they did. New research has suggested doing so would create 355 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 1: far fewer jobs if you if you paired it down 356 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: and just kept going with fossil fuel, kept doubling down. 357 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: For every million dollars the US government invests, solar produces 358 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: over two point seven times more jobs than fossil fuels. 359 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: We're doing an analysis from to environmental think tanks and 360 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,880 Speaker 1: labor unions. Wind energy spurs over two point eight times 361 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: more jobs than the investments in oil gas and call 362 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 1: retro filling buildings to be more energy efficient creates demand 363 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: for nearly three times as many jobs. So these are 364 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: It's it's not a issue of well, you know, fossil 365 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: fuels is like the thing that's good for the economy. 366 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: The only excuse that they have for continuing to double 367 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: down on fossil fuels is that fossil fuels have the 368 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 1: money and therefore the inertia to um keep them moving 369 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: in the same direction they've been moving in for Essentially, 370 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: it's just wild that this analysis just negates any argument 371 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: that would come out of this lobbying side of being like, well, 372 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: then what happens all these people's jobs? Man, if you 373 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: get rid of coal, then what happens? And you're like, yeah, 374 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: there's actually there. Even if those people fucking cleaved themselves 375 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: like a cell and turned into two people, that person 376 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: would also have a job. That's how lucrative and how 377 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: much opportunity is there because we have a massive undertaking 378 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: to change the energy mix. Yeah, and we actually have 379 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: a like specific example of you know, a way, a 380 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: way that we could be changing things and helping the 381 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: environment and helping economies. But before we get to that, uh, 382 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: Danielle's Internet just went out unfortunately, and you know, we're 383 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: hoping that she is able to get back in here, 384 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: but always wonderful having Danielle. Hopefully it comes back. She's 385 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: working on getting back on as we speak. Were momentarily 386 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: if all, we're hoping to be rejoined. But this is 387 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 1: the miles and I are full of enough hot air 388 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: to uh push this thing through to the man A 389 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 1: real wind bag, am I right? All right? So there's 390 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: a new book from out of Iowa called The Emerald 391 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 1: Horizon that's basically about how the heartland, you know, where 392 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: all of America's corn and soybeans come from, mostly two 393 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: feed cattle to like feed us meat, is headed in 394 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: a dangerous direction because of centuries of industrialized farming. They 395 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: basically like raised the landscape, made a eco factory for 396 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: two crops, and this yielded a pretty profitable system. It's 397 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: still currently the globe's most productive chunk of land during 398 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: summer months. But it also just polluted the hell out 399 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 1: of their rivers the Gulf of Mexico. The runoff from 400 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: Iowa down into the Gulf of Mexico has created a 401 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: Connecticut sized algae bloom that is just a biological dead zone. 402 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: Like everything that swims through it dies. It's also just 403 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: killing off the like the thing that they need to 404 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: grow anything is top soil, and the top soil is 405 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,479 Speaker 1: being leached about its natural resources, which when combined with 406 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: the worsening storms from climate change, is just heading heading 407 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: them in a very dangerous direction. And this this is 408 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: a good news story. So this is a good news 409 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: story because a ecologist has written a book where they're like, oh, 410 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,719 Speaker 1: there's a very simple solution. Thank god. Yeah, So before 411 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: we came in here, the native people who predominated, not me, bro, 412 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: they brought they brought my family over. I didn't. I 413 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: didn't come over here, brokah. Sorry. When before the colonizers 414 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 1: showed up the native people were they basically interwove fields 415 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: of corn and squash and beans with lots of trees, 416 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 1: like not bearing trees that fed them. And they're pointing 417 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: out that basically you could just do that again. What 418 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: it's I think it's called like alley strip farming or 419 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: something like that, and you basically have rows of trees 420 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: in between these fields, which would combat all of those 421 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 1: problems because trees, you know, drank up a lot of 422 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: the resources. They add carbon to the environment, like through 423 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 1: leaves that fall down, just like having leaves on the 424 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: grounds like makes the soil richer. And it's you know, 425 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: it's a pretty basic idea that like your landscape shouldn't 426 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: look like a lunar colony that is only planting corn. 427 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: But that's agricultural, right exactly. They say in the in 428 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: the study, reintroducing trees could bring big benefits. Their roots 429 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: dig deep beneath the soil surface and fan out lad 430 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 1: really providing an anchor during heavy rain so you don't 431 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: lose all that top soil. They suck up nutrients all 432 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: year long, keeping fertilizer from leaching away in poluding water. 433 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: Tree shield crops and soil from the wind, which because 434 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: of you know, the ecological disaster we've created with climate change, 435 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: is going to be more and more important. They build 436 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: carbon in the soil and this is an ancient practice 437 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 1: known as agro forestry, not like a grow, but agricultural 438 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: forestry could ultimately be more profitable for farmers than the 439 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: current corn soybean rotation in the Midwest. So all they 440 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: need to do, though, is break out of this capitalist 441 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: cycle of doing whatever is most profitable for the next quarter. 442 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: You know, you need some view into the future, right, 443 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: and you need some initial investment into the trees, and 444 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: then the trees take a couple of years to start 445 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: bearing the you know products that are actually going to 446 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: make you money, which is where the government should come 447 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: in and be able to help fund that. But then 448 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: they have to deal with you know, mon santo and 449 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: massive corporations that profit from just keeping things as is 450 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: noticing a theme here with a lot of our problems 451 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: on this. Yeah, there's a solution to all of this. 452 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: It's just up to just up to the forces that 453 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: have been making money hand over fist for decades now 454 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: to just switch it up really quick, yeah, and break 455 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: their habits or hoping that a government that isn't completely 456 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: influenced by outside spending two actually make that a law 457 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: or something or regulation. Okay, so that's the good news. 458 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: The bad news is, let's check in with build back better, 459 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: where we at where we at with that bill, you know, 460 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: the carbon tax, an electricity performance program in addition to 461 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,719 Speaker 1: things unrelated to the you know environment, like two three 462 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: years of community college that those could be related to 463 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: the environment, since you're just educating more people and they 464 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: might come up with a solution or the solutions that 465 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: will save our us in the future where we at um. 466 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: Those are all not in the bill anymore. Specifically, the 467 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: carbon the Clean Energy Performance program was gone. Joe Bienen 468 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: was like, remember how I was like, yo, two years 469 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: to tuition free years at community called bye bye. So 470 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: and a lot of people are saying that's what's out 471 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: for now. Things could change, things could come back in. 472 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: We don't know, things are in play. I think that's 473 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 1: a very euphemistic description, considering how we're just allowing Joe 474 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: Manchon and Kirsten Cinema and some a few other corporate 475 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: Democrats to basically just completely flipped this thing over. But 476 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: there are still things that are still in the Build 477 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: Back Better Bill kind of a little bit mostly some 478 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: of it. The child tax Credit extended only maybe a 479 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: year or two. Can't can't go too far out, even 480 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: though that's like one of the most popular things right 481 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: now in the United States for many parents. Also, the 482 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: Affordable Care Act subsidies, those are in there. Those are 483 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: still there. Paid family leave a great one, Joe Biden, 484 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: And you know, the the idea was manned twelve weeks 485 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: of paid family leave. We get it. We're trying to 486 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: compete with other nations that are sort of on the 487 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: same level economically and saying yes, we can, we can 488 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: do that, except now it's only gonna be four weeks. 489 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: Oh what is it now? Like what what's the standard 490 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: in America? Now? Like that doesn't seem is it just zero? Yeah? 491 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: Probably mean it depends on your company, right or otherwise, like, hey, 492 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: go on a disability and then there's either we also 493 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: got home care for elderly and disabled Americans. You're like, oh, yeah, right, right, right, 494 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: that's a huge cost for people, Like how can we 495 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: make that How can we ease that burden for Americans? 496 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: The original no price tag on there, four hundred billion 497 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: that felt about right considering the population. Sure, and to 498 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: to actually ease this bill that many people have, or 499 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: this huge spend that many people make, even though starting 500 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: a four billion down to less than two billion, and 501 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: universal pre K is still there. But you know, it's 502 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: still up in there. It's still up in there. You know. 503 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: Don't don't start don't start play, don't start losing your 504 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: faith now. And then the party just because we're taking 505 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,239 Speaker 1: an axe to all these things that we're kind of 506 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: the big carrot we're dangling in front of voters. I 507 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: do love the in play and play ball. Are these 508 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: euphemisms for, you know, making it sound fun, the just 509 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: vigorous fucking of the people of this country by the 510 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: political system. Yeah, we're just playing a game with people's lives. Alright, 511 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: Okay now, but yeah, and meanwhile, you have Kirsten Cinema 512 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: out here saying she just flatly just refuses to like 513 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: will reject any kind of bill that is going to 514 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: raise taxes on wealthy people and companies. But like Kirsten, like, 515 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 1: didn't you vote against the Trump tax cuts or that 516 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: didn't you say you wanted to reverse I mean, even 517 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: Joe Mansion is like, well, I think we can. I 518 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 1: think we can bring some taxes back up. But Kurston 519 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: Cinema absolutely not. She's been telling lobbyists out loud that 520 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: she won't budge on this. So this now puts Democrats 521 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: in this position as they try and negotiate this, like 522 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: where they don't know what they're going to do. You 523 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: know that what are you gonna do? Now we have 524 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: two corporate shills who are absolutely going to take the 525 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: teeth out of this transformative bill because of their like 526 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: allegiances to their donors, and sadly, you know, I feel 527 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: like the only thing transforming is going to be those 528 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: majorities in the House in the Senate if they completely 529 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: falter on this and they're also successfully rat fucking like 530 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: the electoral process right like they yes, I mean they 531 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: tried to. They tried to put a bill to a 532 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: vote or just to a debate on Wednesday night, just 533 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 1: to make voting easier for people. The Republicans obviously unanimously 534 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: voted to fucking block it. Even though this was something 535 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: Joe Manson was saying, like, hey, if if you take 536 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: these things out, these things out, but I can get 537 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: ten Republicans, I can get and cut too. You don't 538 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,800 Speaker 1: have you're holding nothing, you're holding the fart, and you 539 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: can't like we'll just and she's back and she's my 540 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:38,240 Speaker 1: uh uh cats ate through my It's fine. Literally, they can't. 541 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 1: They will not ever be able to be like, oh, 542 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: we'll just let you like be our friends and blah 543 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,919 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. The Republicans don't care. They don't 544 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 1: like us. Yeah, and they tell well, they tell people 545 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: like Joe Mansion or have him feeling like, hey, if 546 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 1: you you know completely have no spine. We might help 547 00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: you out with some votes. That doesn't happen, because that's 548 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: always the deal. It's just always letting them just be 549 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: fucking pieces of ship. Well, I think, you know, as 550 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: it stands the Democratic Party of now, it's just they 551 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 1: they very much feel like they need this group of 552 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: weirdos to co sign anything they do to make things like, 553 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: you know, palatable for Americans when most people are looking 554 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: at it and just saying, no, this is just straight trash. 555 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, this is just you know, uh, we're just 556 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 1: seeing a rapid decline, even with cinemas like support. I mean, 557 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: like the polling is whatever. But she just had a 558 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: group of veterans that were like on this advisory panel 559 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: that like helped her get elected. They just all resigned 560 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: in mass because they can't believe she's going back on 561 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 1: all the things she promised them that she would do 562 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,399 Speaker 1: once she was in office. So now they're like, well, 563 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 1: we don't recognize this person. They won't she won't even 564 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: take our calls anymore. So all we have to do 565 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,399 Speaker 1: is like, we can't we can't be we can't have 566 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: our names as veterans be used to sort of prop 567 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: up her profile, like it feels like she was doing 568 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 1: so Yeah, she's pretty aggressively playing a lot of the 569 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,359 Speaker 1: people that supported her. But I think most politicians are, 570 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: you really. I mean, I feel like the Democrats also, 571 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: like they are playing a game where they're trying to 572 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 1: not do the things that are needed because they're worried, 573 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: like they're you know, half stepping it. And then they like, 574 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: for instance, the voting rights thing is an existential threat 575 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 1: to any sort of progressive policies that uh, you know, 576 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: could possibly be pushed through in the near future. And 577 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: we get a like, you know, Kamala Harris is just 578 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 1: like this is a sad day. We're gonna keep fighting, 579 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 1: and it's like, but you just the only thing that 580 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,240 Speaker 1: will work is abolishing the filibuster. It's an existential threat 581 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 1: to the things you claim to care about. But they're 582 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:58,439 Speaker 1: just not doing the thing. And I think some are made. 583 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 1: I mean, Angus King from Maine said something along the 584 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: lines of like, I really believe we're like at this 585 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 1: turning point and we have to really make a crucial 586 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 1: decision that is going to reverberate for decades to come. 587 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:17,359 Speaker 1: Like I think a very light touch version be like, hey, Hey, hey, uh, 588 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: if we don't do something that the whole jig could 589 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,399 Speaker 1: be up on sort of what this version of a 590 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: democracy that we thought we were participation? Why are we 591 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: just not being pieces of ship? Yeah? Well, I think 592 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 1: but because that's like just sort of the buyineer. You 593 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: have craven racists on one side, and then like these 594 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: neoliberal people who are like, hey, I gotta I'll give 595 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: it up to the corporate donors. I'll also pay lip 596 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 1: service to social movements that are popular because I've collected 597 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,400 Speaker 1: all the right opinions. But do I have the wherewithal 598 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: and conviction to actually act those out as a leader 599 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: in Congress? I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, all right, 600 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll come back and 601 00:37:55,480 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 1: talk about other less frustrating things and we're back. And 602 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 1: that's a that's a promise I actually can't keep because 603 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: now we're going to talk about internet service providers, which 604 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 1: are pretty fucking frustrating, but ship, speaking of Jesus fucking right, Yeah, 605 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,879 Speaker 1: how so you're cats ete through your internet? No, I 606 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,839 Speaker 1: just Spectrum is a piece of ship, and I paid 607 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: extra money for them, and now they are not servicing me. Yeah, 608 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: like that you should be. I mean, I think everybody 609 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,480 Speaker 1: this is I think this is a common refrain in 610 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 1: the in the US, which is we hate our internet 611 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 1: service providers. And this squid Game story has been something 612 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 1: that we've seen like a lot of headlines around and 613 00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, squid Game is so popular, it's end up 614 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 1: the Internet. There was a story about how Telecoms Company 615 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: was like, you know, suing Netflix uh in South Korek 616 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 1: because they were saying like, it's created so much more 617 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: viewing and people are using so much more bandwidth on 618 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: broadband that they had to sue Netflix, like this is absurd. 619 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: In the UK, they're also saying things like, you know, 620 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: something has to be done about Netflix. Their content is 621 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 1: creating distraining our internet tubes. What are we going to do? 622 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 1: And a lot of I think here's the thing. If 623 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 1: you're someone who isn't really tech savvy like me, and 624 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 1: you're also just used to regularly being sucked over by 625 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: an Internet service provider like me, that might sound like 626 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: a realistic explanation, but most people who are like experts 627 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 1: and telecoms like that's not how it works. Like this 628 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,839 Speaker 1: saying this show is probably doesn't give you the right 629 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,319 Speaker 1: to be like, yo, we're suing you. This is too much, 630 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: because they're saying like, you know this. One broadband expert 631 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,800 Speaker 1: who is talking to The Verge said, well, people subscribe 632 00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,719 Speaker 1: to broadband to do things like stream video, and it's 633 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 1: brid band customers who are requesting all these squid game streams. 634 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 1: They are not somehow imposed on I S B s 635 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 1: by Netflix, so already like, that's not the relationship here. 636 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,799 Speaker 1: And then on top of it, they already have their 637 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 1: network sort of set up in this way to be 638 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 1: able to handle when people are a ton of people 639 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,439 Speaker 1: are using the Internet. They just understand that because that's 640 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: just part of them providing services. They have to be 641 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: able to provide this service. And you know, they're already 642 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 1: being paid by all kinds of people, whether it's businesses, consumers, etcetera. 643 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: So this this for them. The responsibility to meet the 644 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 1: demand isn't Netflix's problem, it's the broadband company's problem, right, 645 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: And telecoms are like a, I don't know, it just 646 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: seems like it's the sort of thing that should be 647 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,799 Speaker 1: a like a need and not like a thing. Yeah, 648 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 1: it should be nationalized absolutely because it doesn't make sense 649 00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:03,399 Speaker 1: only because I don't trust, I don't the government. Well, 650 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,240 Speaker 1: at the same time, I think I don't know. I'd 651 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,879 Speaker 1: look at this as a utility for sure, and really 652 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,399 Speaker 1: treating it as a way that needs to be at 653 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: the very least have some standards and not having the 654 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: ability to gouge people, because for the most part, most 655 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,839 Speaker 1: people like are in a duopoly where they live based 656 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: on if you want the internet, there there there typically 657 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,799 Speaker 1: isn't a whole broad range of people you can get 658 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 1: your Internet from. And this whole thing is it all 659 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 1: goes back to this from this trope that basically kicked 660 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 1: off the net neutrality debate was that I s p 661 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,399 Speaker 1: s don't like that other companies are getting rich off 662 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:41,920 Speaker 1: of content that uses their infrastructure. They think, like, but 663 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 1: our tubes are delivering it, like we we want to 664 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 1: taste of that. And the thing is, companies like Netflix 665 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: are ready pay a lot of money to make sure 666 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: that their their content can be accessed easily. They like Google, Facebook, 667 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,880 Speaker 1: all these people they pay for stuff like billions of 668 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 1: dollars on cloud pacity or undersea cables, content delivery networks. 669 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,319 Speaker 1: They're not just like you know, logging in on their 670 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 1: Netflix computer and then just destroying the earth, being like, 671 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 1: all right, have a at folks. Netflix is online. So 672 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: this whole thing is already being just kind of you 673 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,359 Speaker 1: can tell, it's being sort of positioned in a way 674 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,399 Speaker 1: to try and build more momentum towards trying to get 675 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,879 Speaker 1: other companies to help foot the bill for a telecom's 676 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 1: you know, uh, operational and construction costs, right, Yeah, I 677 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:34,320 Speaker 1: mean that's why they are are trying to be content 678 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 1: companies like Mr Mercedes. Wasn't that like a show? I 679 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: think it TV? And it was on a T and T. Yeah, 680 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 1: they gotta they they had a pretty solid writers room 681 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 1: though they were there, they were making moves. Well we 682 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 1: never look, we never blamed the people that work for 683 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:56,360 Speaker 1: the company, Is that right? Yeah? But the yeah, the 684 00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 1: I think it's just a really it's just ironic, right 685 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 1: that this squid game is already this sort of like 686 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 1: late stage capitalism critique and internet service providers who are 687 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 1: greedy as funck and already causing problems for people in 688 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 1: terms of their ability to connect to the internet, were like, hey, 689 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 1: we want more money. You want more money, Like, go 690 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 1: back in your fucking cave. It's another example of the 691 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,239 Speaker 1: mainstream media and legacy media in the US being extremely 692 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:31,040 Speaker 1: easy to manipulate, where whoever handles internet service providers pr 693 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,960 Speaker 1: for them. Like saw a trend, saw that everybody was 694 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,360 Speaker 1: talking about squid game being popular and was just like 695 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:40,520 Speaker 1: jump on that. Talk about how that is taxing like 696 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 1: our tubes too much, and you know they're being played 697 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 1: like a fiddle. Yeah, well, I think they look at 698 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 1: stats like it's the number one show in ninety four countries, 699 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,359 Speaker 1: it's in millions of homes. But then you lose your 700 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,760 Speaker 1: argument because like telecomms people say, like, look all live 701 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,399 Speaker 1: live streamed event. You might have an argument there because 702 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,440 Speaker 1: a ton of people are going to be focused on 703 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 1: the same bit of content at a very specific time. 704 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,360 Speaker 1: But with Netflix and streaming stuff, people live in different 705 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 1: time zones, people have different schedules. Not everyone says, hey, 706 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,880 Speaker 1: y'all at seven o'clock on a weeknight, everybody go to 707 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,759 Speaker 1: Netflix and stream the show that's already been out and 708 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,359 Speaker 1: fully released. So there's like a lot of behavioral sort 709 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,399 Speaker 1: of just data points that suggest like what what's your 710 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 1: what exactly is your point here? But they just recognize 711 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,840 Speaker 1: that like just all these media outlets were wanted to 712 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,080 Speaker 1: put squid game in the title of an article like 713 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,080 Speaker 1: that was getting clicks, so they just jumped jumped in there, 714 00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 1: and we're like, yeah, alright, real quick, let's talk about 715 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:49,840 Speaker 1: h you know, rotten tomatoes and Danielle has disappeared again. 716 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 1: I think telecoms. The telecoms are are onto us. They're like, 717 00:44:55,239 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 1: you're complaining about Trump Media network the all right, but 718 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:04,200 Speaker 1: I do want to talk about rotten Tomatoes as a 719 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 1: new culture war battlefield, because that is a story that 720 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 1: Fox is trying to tell and and other I guess 721 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,399 Speaker 1: Fox and The Federalist a couple of weeks ago had 722 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,800 Speaker 1: the story about how like cancel culture has like created 723 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 1: this massive gap between audiences and critics, and they pointed 724 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:30,000 Speaker 1: to the Chapel Special and a documentary about Fauci, and 725 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,880 Speaker 1: we're like, the Chappell Special has is in the thirties 726 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:38,360 Speaker 1: in terms of critical approval, but it's like nine percent 727 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 1: when it comes to audiences. And the stories just completely 728 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:50,919 Speaker 1: ignore that these are artificially inflated numbers because the right 729 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:56,800 Speaker 1: and like conservative media outlets get people to create these 730 00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:01,359 Speaker 1: massive numbers in order to create these stories. Essentially mm hmm, 731 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,840 Speaker 1: Like this Vice article about it points out that. So 732 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,400 Speaker 1: when you look at the reviews for the Chappelle special, 733 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,239 Speaker 1: there are two thousand, five hundred reviews from audience members, 734 00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:17,360 Speaker 1: which Netflix shows don't usually draw that kind of reaction 735 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,879 Speaker 1: from the public at all. The most popular show in 736 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:25,120 Speaker 1: Netflix's history, Squid Game, has just over one reviews. So 737 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 1: it's it's them, you know, some fucking Facebook group being like, hey, 738 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 1: it's important to Jesus that you go to this page 739 00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 1: and click that you like this special and hate this 740 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:46,279 Speaker 1: other one, and you know they're right Jesus approof Yeah, 741 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 1: well it's uh. I mean even saw yesterday or on 742 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 1: Wednesday when the walkout happened, they were like some confrontations 743 00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:56,600 Speaker 1: were like a couple just smooth brains, Like people had 744 00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:00,640 Speaker 1: signs like to I guess counter protests, the like trains 745 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,240 Speaker 1: employees and allies that have walked out just having signs 746 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:09,279 Speaker 1: like Dave is funny and you're like, wow, ok, yeah, 747 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,560 Speaker 1: you seem really passionate about this, or just a real 748 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,600 Speaker 1: low energy troll job. And what could be what couldn't 749 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 1: be more low energy trolling than just merely going to 750 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,879 Speaker 1: a website clicking something and be like, look at that. 751 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:26,200 Speaker 1: The people have spoken. Yeah, exactly. But that's you know, 752 00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:31,160 Speaker 1: it's at the like been a long term trend, like 753 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:35,400 Speaker 1: if you look at audience numbers for basically any movie 754 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:40,880 Speaker 1: that has a negative connotation when it comes to like 755 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 1: conservative media commentators, any Marvel movie that stars anyone who's 756 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:50,520 Speaker 1: not a white man, it will have a artificially negative 757 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,919 Speaker 1: review and say saying with the Star Wars movies, right, yeah, 758 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,720 Speaker 1: because I mean we saw people like brigading in those things, 759 00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 1: like just to be like, I hate that this woman 760 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:04,839 Speaker 1: is on screen and she's Asian, but hey, clearly they're 761 00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:11,440 Speaker 1: winning with this very ineffective strategy.
