1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: What's debating my almost certainly hopeless opponents of a fascist monster. 2 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: I'm Robert Evans. This is normally Behind the Bastards, the 3 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:10,879 Speaker 1: podcast where we talk about the worst people in all 4 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: of history. But we're doing nothing like that today. Today, 5 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 1: as prep for the election podcast that Cody Johnston, Katie 6 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: Stole and I will be launching in the worst year ever, 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: we are doing an episode covering the Democratic debates, which 8 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: could not be further from the premise of my show 9 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: because none of the people involved in the debates, regardless 10 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: of my issues with them, individually, qualify as true bastards. 11 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: But it's an hour or so of free contents, like 12 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? You whine at me? Already 13 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: gave you two episodes about bastards this week, Like this 14 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 1: is just deal with it. He can't hear you, Yeah, 15 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: I can't hear you. Like complain more, but please please 16 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: do listen to the podcast. I love all of you. Yeah, 17 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: where we just thought we would get the ball rolling 18 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: on our eventual show. Yeah, we're trying to figure out 19 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: exactly what it's going to be so that we we 20 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: aren't just throwing another nonsense political podcast into a crowded 21 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: field of misery that makes everyone hate themselves. So like 22 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: the candidates, like the candidates, and debates themselves. So this 23 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 1: is a little bit of a refining process. It's kind 24 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: of like, if you're shooting missiles at the Moon, you're 25 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: gonna hit Mars a couple of times. It's just hard. 26 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: It's hard to hit the moon with a missiles. Kind 27 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: of get a few bedos up there, so you know, 28 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: this missile might hit Jupiter, we might hit Europe U, 29 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: we might hit the Sun, we might hit Manhattan. Either way, 30 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: the next missile we fire will be closer to the moon. 31 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm comparing this tow missiles, Jupiter 32 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: or Manhattan. Yep, okay, classic one to those are the options. 33 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: Ye hey, everybody, one way or the other. You heard 34 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: either Katie and Cody's intro or my intro. And now 35 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: with the actual podcast is starting, and I arrogantly grabbed 36 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: leading everyone in stole it from you both disgusting. It 37 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: is I'm a monster, absolutely not um this is this 38 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: is gonna be fun for everybody's listening who might be 39 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: confused that listens to both we're sitting here or recording 40 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: two different intros for the episode. Um, it'll cut together. 41 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: You know we're here, we're in it, We're with you now, 42 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: all right, we'll talk about the debates. Guys, who I 43 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: want to know? First off? Who surprised you? Who were 44 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: you discounting? And then you came into it and you're like, wow, man, 45 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: if anybody that person was interesting. I mean, I'm gonna 46 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: be honest, Looper, I know Castro's name was not at 47 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: all in my mind. I wasn't even really aware that 48 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: he was running, and he performed very well, really did 49 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: for debate too. I would say the person who surprised 50 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: me who was not? I mean I knew she was running, 51 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: but she was not on my radar. I think Gillibrando 52 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: a lot better than I expected. She absolutely, um she 53 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: didn't earn my vote, but she did better than I expected. 54 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: I was completely blown away that Marian Williamson was even 55 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: on the stage. I don't know how that over my 56 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: She got a few you really like, oh that's actually true. Yeah, 57 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: like you don't you shouldn't really be here, but what 58 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: you're saying is true. You're not wrong. Yeah, it's like 59 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: what are you doing here? And I would almost like 60 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: it if in the future. For debates, we had the 61 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: candidates and then like one person who was popular in 62 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: America and who just came on to like drive home 63 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: an issue like Okay, yeah, everybody, but like the ice 64 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: caps are melting in the world's dying, like maybe addressed 65 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: bring it back because the moderators definitely are going to 66 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: do that, not Chuck Todd for sure. Um so yeah, 67 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: having someone be the actual voices. Like but like, here's 68 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: what we're really talking about. One thing we've learned as 69 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: a species is that, regardless of our ability to put 70 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: human beings on other planets to create electric cars, we 71 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: have not invented a human being who is capable of 72 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: moderating a political thing has never happened. We need roots. Yeah, 73 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: robots maybe or or Herzog could do that. Jo you 74 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: would do that silently, like he could come to that. Yeah, 75 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: just like his presidents would would do that. One thing 76 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: it would help probably is fewer candidates and more hours, 77 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: but we can we can talk about that. Would you 78 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: have preferred five candidates a night for four nights? I 79 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: would have been fine with that more than what is 80 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: currently there. I would have preferred even then, like ten 81 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: candidates for four hours or like even longer. Um, Like 82 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: I have no problem with a longer debate, Like that's 83 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: why we're here. Uh, we have literally twenty four hour 84 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: news channels and people are like engaged in that kind 85 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: of thing, and we want to know that, oh, whoever 86 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: is going to be can like stand on a stage 87 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: for six hours and talk about the issues. And we 88 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: live in a world where people routinely will spend a 89 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: dozen hours in a weekend been watching television just to 90 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: chill out. Like I feel like we can devote ten 91 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: hours to debates about the future of our species. You 92 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: think it seems reasonable. It seems like it's difficult because 93 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: watching these yeah, you don't really get a clear sense 94 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: of people. These are the most important so they say, 95 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: the most important people in the world right now, right 96 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: and and like we're not getting that many opportunities to 97 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: get to know them outside of Twitter, outside of the 98 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: headlines that we see, the random clips that are passed around, 99 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 1: and you don't really have the time to hear anything, 100 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: like it's a quick SoundBite thirty seconds. Yeah, I think 101 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: in general kind of like I don't think it's exaggerating necessarily. 102 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: I think it's kind of shameful what they have done, like, uh, 103 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: the idea, like that's fair. Yeah, I didn't want to 104 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: oversell it, but I do. It's a shameful thing that 105 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: the media is allowed to happen. It's just it shows 106 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: that they didn't learn anything from but if they did, 107 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: they learned the wrong thing. It wasn't even just ten 108 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: candidates over two hours. It was ten candids over two 109 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: hours with five moderators and like a bunch of commercial breaks. 110 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: The whole thing is it's like, well, there weren't that 111 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: many commercial breaks, but yeah, there shouldn't have been any, 112 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 1: Like there's moderator switches. It's not that long if it 113 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: was a six hour to be like yeah, yes, one 114 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: hour and we don't like three people for one hour, 115 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: two people for the next hour. Is really is that 116 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: just because everybody wanted to be involved or all that 117 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: because they're from different networks? I guess yeah, it must 118 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: have been some, isn't it. No, Yeah, I don't know 119 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: either way. It was unnecessary and like no one like 120 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: no one that position isn't like oh they got like 121 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: the best question, Like I will say that I thought, 122 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: especially on night once Evanna Guthrie did a good job 123 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: of she could have done the whole thing, I know exactly, 124 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: and I like, I'm one of the people that like 125 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: Rachel Matto not obsessively. She's fine. She's fine. I mean, 126 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: I think that she's entertaining. She made some bad mistakes. 127 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: Are the Muller report this, I completely agree, and I 128 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: don't watch her show nearly as much as I used to, 129 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: but I think that she is good at breaking down 130 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: stuff and she's really good on her feet. Anyway, this 131 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: isn't about Rachel Maddow and I like her fine, but 132 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: could have just stuck with Savannah Guth, especially following up 133 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: really aggressively and keeping people on points, saying like, you 134 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: don't answer the questions. You expect a single human being 135 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: to function for four hours in a week. That's good 136 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: points impossible. No one cut it up, cut it up, 137 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: get more people up there, Oh I do. I did 138 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: want to mention this because this is what you asked 139 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: at the very beginning. I think Corey Booker also surprised me, 140 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: and I didn't. I wanted to give him credit where 141 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: it's due because I've I think he's corny as hell 142 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: all the time. I know, I avoided saying that but yes, 143 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: I agree with you completely. He's super corny and I 144 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: don't think he comes off it's very authentic. Um, But 145 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: I thought he did a really good job surprisingly so 146 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: all right, And I guess the limited time I wanted 147 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: more time to see what he had to say, I 148 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: mean everybody, because but like we were talking about, like 149 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: the idea that he even brought up, like African Americans 150 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: trans women in America are the idea that like he 151 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: that he in his very limited amount of time, an 152 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: issue that will not gain him a single vote because 153 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: there's very few trans first off, not like not just 154 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: said that African American trans women are being murdered at 155 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: a night Mary straight. But first I've introduced that, like 156 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: transgender people in general are victims of violent crimes at 157 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: huge rates. Women specified that and this is particularly a 158 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: problem within the black transgender community. The fact that he 159 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: took that time is a and I don't like the guy, 160 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: but it is a very significant credit to his first 161 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: and give him a lot of credit. I was kind 162 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: of I was surprised and kind of blown away and 163 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: that he brought it up, and also like it's because 164 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: it's no one's ever going to bring that up. I 165 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: don't know if it's just me being cynical when I 166 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: see him do that, because I have this idea of 167 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: him and I know that he's a politician, and I 168 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: have fears and authentic I immediately go to, are you 169 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: just saying that? But I don't. I don't want to 170 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: operate like that. And I do agree. I really appreciated it, 171 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: and I think it's important to us to say this 172 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: and like start saying on the debate stage that people 173 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: start getting used to this being an issue that we discuss. 174 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: I hate the Democratic Party almost like much as I 175 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: hate the Republican Party for very different reasons. But it 176 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: is a credit to the Democratic Party that the issue 177 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: of violence against trans people came up more than once 178 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: in this debate, and in spite like it is not 179 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: it's not a vote getter. It's an issue they could 180 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: ignore and not lose a vote. And the fact that 181 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: it has been made and not insignificant part of at 182 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: least one of the debates is a real credit to 183 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: the party. And I'll say that that matters a lot 184 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, I wanted to say that because, yeah, 185 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: well we're talking about this. William Castro was the first 186 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: one to bring on trans women and talking about healthcare 187 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: and how it's necessary for us to include them when 188 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: we're talking about women's reproductive rights, and I clapped. I 189 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 1: was sitting. It's so rare to see anything that even 190 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: vaguely resembles at a distance. If squint and take mushrooms, 191 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: courage and politics today, and that's I would. I would. 192 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 1: I would call standing up for trans people from a 193 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: mainstream politician courage. And it shouldn't be and it's horrible 194 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: that it is, but it is, and we're thrilled to 195 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: see those steps being taken. I think it's important. Even 196 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: though this was kind of a cluster fuck. We can 197 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: say that on here because it's a podcast. Um let's 198 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: call it cluster pp, cluster pep. This was this was 199 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: a bit of a cluster PP. I do feel good 200 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: about a lot of this stuff that we've talked about. 201 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: I do feel like even the candidates that I'm not 202 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: thrilled about people throwing out stuff. Especially on Night one. 203 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: I liked seeing Lean Castro standing up there saying I'd 204 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: like to see everybody else on the stage, the other candidates, 205 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: and you know, and that happened a couple of times. 206 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: In different in different capacities, and we saw it happening. 207 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: And that is the beautiful thing about this part of 208 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: the process, seeing where we land on certain issues. I 209 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 1: would like more in longer debates, they all radicalize each other. 210 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: And Joe Biden is wearing like a chairman mouse shirt 211 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 1: and shouting about taking the factories back, and that's well, 212 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: that's like, I'm not not but I would enjoy that 213 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: from a a fewer perspective. And then we saw a 214 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: little bit of that and it was really cool. And 215 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: I think that we've talked about leading up to this 216 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: that like like the winner of the Democratic debates is like, well, 217 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: what is the platform end up being? What are the 218 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: issues and plans of people gravitate tours? And if you 219 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: have ten people for two hours and five moderators, it's 220 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: really hard to get to that point. And it's actually 221 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: kind of amazing that there were a few moments like that, yeah, 222 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: you have four hours, you have you are able to 223 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: say you get two minutes to talk about this, and 224 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: if someone is like raising their hand, you can actually 225 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: say okay, actually have a conversation instead of like really 226 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: forcing it and trying to get the sound bites in 227 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: and so on. For the purpose of intellectual masturbation, I 228 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: would like to talk about how we'd like to see 229 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: this happen, and for my own self, what I would 230 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: enjoy saying of the same twenty candidates. If I was 231 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: picking the rules, I would want five of them to 232 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: get two hours each four nights in one week, and 233 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: then six weeks later you look at who they are 234 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: and you pick the top ten, and then you have 235 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: a four hour debate with the top ten. And four 236 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: hours is a long time. People might say that's unreasonable. Like, 237 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: one of the things you vote for and you should 238 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: be voting for in a president is their stamina, their 239 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: ability to function and focus for four hours of a 240 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: hard core debate. That's important because we currently have a president. 241 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: You can't do that. Yeah, And like I think a 242 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: lot of people that were in the debate tonight and 243 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: last night couldn't do that. Yeah. I mean, how many 244 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: lines can beato say in Spanish and English? Just one 245 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: based on the most time to talk about that? Did 246 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: everybody gasp? Everybody gasped, And that was the most likable 247 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: Corey Booker has ever been when he gave him that. 248 00:12:52,720 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: That was perfect. Yeah, that looks that look had even 249 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: more because we knew he was going to do it. 250 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: I think they all did it more reasonably that he 251 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: did it an issue where it was like, no, you're 252 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: just repeating your point in Spanish for no reason, and 253 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 1: that's weird. Yeah, brought it out really early on, and 254 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: really it was like the thing I'm going to do, 255 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: and it did have nothing and he and he made 256 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: sure to be the first person to speak Spanish on 257 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: the floor with Latino Canada, which is the part that 258 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: was painful. Come on, man, it's not going to disagree 259 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: with the great wonderful, but obviously this whole debate isn't 260 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: in Spanish. You're doing something wondering and out of the 261 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: gate the white man that stands on tables that everybody 262 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: rolls their eyes at, how little self awareness does he? 263 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: If it had been if the question the first question, 264 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: if it had still been the first question, but it 265 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: had been like about immigration reform or about something directly 266 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: tied to that, as opposed to just like I'm going 267 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: to answer a question and I'm gonna do it again 268 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: in Spanish, and like what do you beto? Right? He 269 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: didn't really answer the question. Yeah, I mean I don't know. 270 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: He did not answer the question in either language at 271 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: a time. He's also just super fun. I'm not a 272 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: fan of Beto Rouric. He didn't win me over here. Yeah, 273 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: I don't care for him, but yeah, Julian Castro really 274 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: did um and I had zero expectations for him. Yeah, 275 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: I was not aware he was really running. Be entirely honest, 276 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: at the risk of credifying myself the people, I absolutely 277 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: still cannot. I didn't even know the Oprah book Lady 278 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: was going to be there, right, that was a surprise. 279 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: Every once in a while, they would towards the end 280 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: of the debate they'd go to somebody and like, wait, 281 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: have they gone to this guy yet? I'm always surprised 282 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: that John hicken Looper exists, that he looks nothing like 283 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: I imagine. It's really funny too, because it's like there 284 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: were like four hicken Loopers tonight, and there were four 285 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: hicken Loopers last night. Like it's just it's not but 286 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: it's not even like white Man. It's just like a 287 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: very specific type type of guy. It's it's a guy 288 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: that you wind up in line behind at the co 289 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: op buying a lot of organic so like all of 290 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: them are that guy. And I have tweeted about this 291 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: and talked about this before, and some people are like, 292 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: that's racist when I say specifically this type of white man. 293 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: And I'm only doing that because I'm describing literally who 294 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: it is if it was a white man, like a 295 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: Bernie who is something a different kind And I'm not 296 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: a Bernie person, but per se, but like, you know, 297 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: something unique, something different. But these guys are very hard 298 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: to differentiate between in these thirty second increments, in these 299 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: little snippets that we get, and they're not bringing something new, 300 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: and every every time a new person knew one of 301 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: them through their hat in the ring, it just frustrated 302 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: me a little bit because we've got all these unique 303 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: candidates that are really exciting. Well that's the other thing, 304 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: because I think that they're not They're not necessarily like 305 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: it's not like they're all the same, but like, when 306 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: you have such a limit of time, it is hard 307 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: to differentiate them. And there were a few moments, uh 308 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: the last night and maybe a couple tonight, we're like, oh, yeah, 309 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: that guy's right, Yeah, that's a good point that that 310 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: guy made. Wow, who the funk is he? Yeah? Where 311 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: did he go? Well, never see him him again. Now 312 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: he's gone, right, But if you had like more time 313 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: and time to breathe come back to that guy. And 314 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: now I now actually know who he is and what 315 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: he stands for, and how he how he's different from 316 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: all the other people on the stage. Not just that 317 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: was a good sentence I heard from somebody. If number 318 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: one news networks were not entirely a for profit endeavor 319 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: existed for the call me a crazy fucking communist here 320 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: betterment of society rather than sheer oald or value. Uh. 321 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: And if also the Democratic Party was more competent, having 322 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: twenty candidates at this point, that it could be real strength, 323 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: could be a great chance for adversity, is for real debate, 324 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: for inability for people to have a real choice and 325 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: to hear a lot of issues and have issues that 326 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't otherwise get pressed in in a campaign be pushed 327 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: in just based on necessity. Um, I could see that 328 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: being a real strength. It's not the way they focused 329 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: it instead, it just it just hurts the entire cause 330 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: of sanity. And that's frustrating to me. Right, And they're 331 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: just like all the like, all right, we're gonna do 332 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: a real quick down the line and then they do 333 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: the one one word answers or five word answers ever, 334 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: and it's like, you're just it's just this onslaught of 335 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: yeah information, you can and nearly answers the question. The 336 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: question I will say and say they were like one 337 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: one part. I think it was just hicken Looper who 338 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: was just like climate change. There were a few people 339 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: who was like, okay, John, like you got me there. 340 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 1: It's so interesting because that stands out, whereas people that say, well, 341 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 1: go run off and start listening, shoving as many words 342 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: as they can into that ten seconds. But the people 343 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: that are concise and answered I did stand out in 344 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: those moments. Um. Yeah, I hated everyone's answer to the 345 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: question who is the biggest threat to America? Because in 346 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: a sane debate, my opinion is there's one answer, and 347 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: it's oh, the biggest threat to America is Americans. It 348 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: will always be, it has always been, and there's no 349 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 1: one else that comes close. Run for president. Yeah, sure, 350 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: I will. I agree. It's frustrating the just these media 351 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: twerps Chuck Todd, bothers, hello me and he has forever 352 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: and he didn't change my mind. He's not good. He 353 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: didn't win me over. I'm not gonna job. Quick question, Cody, 354 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: how many times do you think you could buy and 355 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: sell you? Oh? As many as I could. I could start, 356 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,959 Speaker 1: I could start counting now, and by the time this 357 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: episode is done, that number would be less than the actual. 358 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: The best thing about capitalism is is the meritocracy. I believe. 359 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: I believe that. I believe in that, and I believe 360 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 1: that you think that too, big fan of the meritocracy, 361 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: which is really a thing that happens. Chuck Todd deserves everything. Um, 362 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: he has good, his job, fantastic, a real real smart cookie. Uh. 363 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: The first time the last night at the going down 364 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: the line, like what do you think about that? And 365 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: then they do their their quick answers. He's like, ah, 366 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: this is my favorite part. This is the good part, 367 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: you know, the part where you really get into it. 368 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 1: What Chuck fuck? I will say the best part of 369 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: these two debates, and I can't imagine even another competitor 370 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: is Kamala Harris, who I don't like because she's a cop. 371 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: Really fucking grilling Biden about that awesome. That was fucking great. Yeah, 372 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,239 Speaker 1: that moment of night too for sure for me, was 373 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 1: that and emotional about it. You could tell she was 374 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: damn near at tears when she finished, or fighting for composure, 375 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: tell like it really affected her and she really meant it. 376 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: At the same time, like she was going to do 377 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: that no matter what, like she was planning on, like 378 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about this on stage, and that's what 379 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: we've been talking about for a long time. Like I 380 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: can't wait for Joe Biden to be next to people 381 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 1: who actually talked to him about this stuff. I was, 382 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: I mean, Bernie didn't really go after Joe Biden, and 383 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: we were expecting that, but I'm thrilled. Yeah, it was 384 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: so good. And again this is one of those things 385 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: like there he did not look her in the eye. 386 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: He did, man, he gave her, He gave her a glance, 387 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: and then he looked away. He could he could not 388 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: do it. He got mad. Yeah, you know, as a journalist, 389 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: your goal is to try to be to look at 390 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: things from an objective point of view. As a podcast, 391 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: your your goal is not that. And I find myself 392 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: time between the two and I feel like I feel 393 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 1: like I need to emphasize I very much dislike Kamala 394 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 1: Harris I just and I do not like the idea 395 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: of voting for a prosecutor. I think her job, the 396 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 1: job that she did for years is fundamentally and evil 397 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: to the world. She fucking nailed that. That was perfect, 398 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: And I completely agree with you. I those are all 399 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: of my reservations against Kamala. And when I talk to 400 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: people about it, you know, some people don't like that. 401 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: I don't like Kamala, And um, I'm capable even fucking 402 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: credit where it's do. Yeah, she's so good at that, 403 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: and she's so good in all the Senate hearings. She's 404 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: so and that's the prosecutor in her. She's concise, she's smart, 405 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,239 Speaker 1: and she's aggressive and and that showed tonight. And one 406 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 1: of the things that I really liked about the moment 407 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: because she is she is concise, she's very polished, he's 408 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: very good at speaking. I liked the raw emotion, especially 409 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: at the very end. And I really everyone find that 410 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,959 Speaker 1: find that, like the YouTube video of this, and like 411 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: really look at after she delivers her last word. What 412 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: you see on her face is like something you get 413 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: so rarely in national politics, is like real emotion that 414 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: moved her body like and that's important to see. Yeah, 415 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: and I really liked to see her and she had 416 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: to sort of take a moment and likes it as 417 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: it should have. Well, because that's also like that's like 418 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: a scary thing to do on a stage. Character and courage, 419 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:43,199 Speaker 1: and I impressed by her. Some people would skew that 420 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: as being emotional, and some kinds of people are dumb. 421 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: I want I want to know that my I want 422 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 1: to know that my president has human emotions. The most 423 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 1: I've ever been sympathetic to Donald Trump is hearing that 424 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: his daughter described him what chemical weapons did to kids, 425 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: and that he had a gut reaction to it. I 426 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: want that, like he didn't do anything effective about it, 427 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: Like you want to know that, like the presidents of 428 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: human being hear something and be like, well fuck it, 429 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: we got to take action this, this can't be allowed 430 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 1: to happen. Yeah. Absolutely, yes, I create all completely. I 431 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: think it's funny. At some pointed out I think this 432 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: is perfect that so like Kamal took a moment to 433 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: call Joe Biden racist, Well, she said, I'm not calling 434 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: you racis. And if you guys need reminding, this was 435 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: about the issue about bussing students and how how how 436 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,719 Speaker 1: Biden was against bussing and children into different districts. If 437 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, she was supposed to have had a 438 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: thirty second time or on that. Nobody even thoughts about that. 439 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 1: I love that. I was. I was like, well, she 440 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: blew past for a while, it's are they going to stop? 441 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: That was well done to say like, well, this is 442 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: the moment that we need to let breathe. I feel 443 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: like Walter Cronkite's ghost would write you down for trying 444 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: to stop that questioning that would that would have been 445 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: the most embarrassing moment if if someone tried to stop 446 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 1: her from let her speak, Like God, Chuck, shut the 447 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: funk up. But he didn't do was yeah to hut 448 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: In Todd's credit, Chuck Todd was like, yeah, this needs 449 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: to happen. Chuck Todd's credit, he didn't do anything. Yeah, 450 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: so the best thing he's done is not anything. Um 451 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: but I think all this is really funny that in 452 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: response to that, so obviously Joe Biden got really really mad, 453 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: but like so she called him racist and then in 454 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: response he called her a cop. Yeah. It's like, oh, so, 455 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 1: like you're just like living Twitter out right now. Like 456 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: you're doing it all. I would have loved it if 457 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. The only thing you could have gotten it 458 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: to get my my support after that is if he'd 459 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: called her a cop, put on a black mask, and 460 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 1: then spray painted the Antifa, that would have been amazing. Yeah, 461 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: just just fucking Joe Biden goes like full banks e. Yeah, 462 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: I think he really did a bad job tonight. Oh yeah, 463 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: he wasn't He wasn't great. I mean after that, like 464 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,360 Speaker 1: there was no going background because it made him so mad, 465 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: I think, and even before that, before that, and again 466 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: in terms of like theoretically things that he could have 467 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: done during my support if he'd just been like, you're right. 468 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: I came up in a different era. I learned things 469 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: that were wrong, and I was wrong then and you 470 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: are right now. Let me explain why I still think 471 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: I can do a good job as president. And that's human. 472 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: That's why the night well, the night before when Tulsea 473 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 1: talked about this, and we've got the various opinions, but 474 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: like saying, like I think a lot of people watching 475 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: can relate to growing up in a conservative household and 476 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,239 Speaker 1: growing and change your mind, and I was like, that 477 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: is exactly what you say as someone who hate like 478 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: I hate Tulsa Gabard. I also grew up hating gay 479 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: people because of how I was raised, and I identified 480 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: with that statement, and that was a very good way 481 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: for her to answer. That's how you address it, because 482 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: because it's true, yeah, or people and hiding for hiding 483 00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: from it is a real mistake handled that question about 484 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: the shootings in his town. And at the start at 485 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: in to it, yes, I completely agree, um, but that 486 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: was human and honest and him saying like, I don't 487 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: know this is this is a nightmare and it's very difficult. 488 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: We could I couldn't get it, I said, I couldn't 489 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: get That gutted me a little bit. I was like, 490 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: not gutted me, but hit me in a way of 491 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: like I just so deeply appreciated saying And this is 492 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: where so I'm getting a little bit like off here, 493 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 1: but this is where I get to like the fundamental 494 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: issue of of of the still king, the lurking ghost 495 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: of authoritarianism that is at the core of every system 496 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: in the world that's still left over the days when 497 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 1: we were ruled by kings. The fact that an acceptable 498 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: answer that question wouldn't have been Buddaget going. We couldn't 499 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 1: get it done. This is a nightmare. Nobody knows how 500 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: to fix this entirely, and the only answer will come 501 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 1: from sustained, long term nationwide dialogue to figure out how 502 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: to fix this problem, because it's not a problem that 503 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: can be solved by a person at the top. It's 504 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: a problem that starts from the bottom and percolates up, 505 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: like the solution starts from the bottom and percolates. That's 506 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: we'll see. That's another reason why Mary Ann Williamson was like, 507 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: she's she's right. Was the one when she said that. 508 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: I was like, why are you derailing? This is weird? 509 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: And then she got to it was like, oh, she's right. 510 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: That is it's exactly what you just said. When she 511 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 1: was talking about how like it's not just I mean, 512 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: it seemed like it was sort of getting into like 513 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: a holistic medicine where she she went to some weird digressions, 514 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: but like the idea of and she also called like 515 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: universal health care and like whether I have medical for 516 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: all that's like superficial solutions, which I don't necessarily agree with, 517 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: but like the idea of just like degree with that right, 518 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: But like, why do people get sick? Why do we 519 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: have these problems? What are the roots of these problems? 520 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 1: And we have to we have to be able to 521 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: talk and and really explore what causes the problems that 522 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: we're making policies to solve the symptoms of that. She 523 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: doesn't she doesn't think she's gonna win, and I don't think, 524 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,199 Speaker 1: you know, I think us the ensley of this of 525 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: the second like knows he's not going to be the 526 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: presidential candidate. He just wants to make sure climate change 527 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: gets talked about. They're all they're all doing the gravel 528 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 1: thing or and it might take a while for that 529 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: to seep in, but it is true. What are the 530 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: other things that are factoring into this bigger problem? Can 531 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: I throw in a free at plug? Sure? Try sandwiches 532 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 1: They're great, They're just great. Yeah, any sandwich really good 533 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: concept bread and then things in between the great idea. 534 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 1: Try a sandwich. I want to talk about Elizabeth Warren. 535 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: I love talking about Elizabeth Warren. Are you a couple 536 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: of Warren bros? Yes, babe, No, I am You're nothing. 537 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 1: Comprehensively planned out and logical solutions to basic problems, Bro 538 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 1: wild wild stuff a problem. She's got a plan for that. 539 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: It's not the number of plots that she has plans for, 540 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: it's that she specifically the things that she's focused on 541 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: most seemed to be like breaking up big tech all 542 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: the fucking Nazis, which literally has a billboard that says 543 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: break up big Tech. Like it's so simple. Yeah good, 544 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 1: it's also real quick, just something that's been bothering me. 545 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: Um because like the whole breaking up big tech and 546 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 1: and that is I think an issue that everyone can 547 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 1: kind of come together. It's the right and the left thing. 548 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 1: It's extremely frustrating to watch that the rights concerned about 549 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: big tech is solely about conservatives being censored because would 550 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: like everyone else to be banned from existing, right, Like 551 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: I know why. It's like not the right, it's but 552 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: the people who are part of that grift are literal 553 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: Nazis in many cases, right, And like there's a there's 554 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: a clear like goal um and mission from a lot 555 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: of them. But like just like you see Ted Cruz 556 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: and he's he's like in in uh in the hearing 557 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: and he's like concerns sounds. It's like no, no no, no, 558 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: that's not the reason. Like there. It's just very bizarre, 559 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: and it's not the reason because like David NewART, who 560 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: is like, one of the things I do for a 561 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: living is anti fascist research. David NewART is the very 562 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: best of us who got banned from Twitter for the 563 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: fact that his book cover had a stylized image of 564 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: a guy in a clan hood on it because this 565 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,959 Speaker 1: book is about racist groups in America, and he got 566 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: banned from Twitter for weeks. Like David knew, it's not 567 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: a conservative. The problem isn't that Twitter bands conservatives. The 568 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: problem is that Twitter's decisions as to who to ban 569 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: are completely consistent, have nothing to do with their actual 570 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: written rules, and are often done by random robots and 571 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: then justified post facto by individual human beings trying to 572 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: avoid like making a bad news cycle. And that's dumb. 573 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: Agree completely. We're talking about Elizbeth Warren. I'm sorry for 574 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren. Okay, So in terms of her debate performance, 575 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: I feel personally that she stood out, you know, different phrases, 576 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: heads and shoulders, miles ahead of all the other candidates. 577 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: She is the person that answers the fun in question. 578 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: That is true, she answers the question question she doesn't pivot. 579 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: You see, some are like it's so basic, but everybody 580 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: else will take it and pivot to something that feel 581 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: comfortable talking about. It makes me, even Bernie he did 582 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: it tonight, makes me people avoid talking about a race 583 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: racial issue to start talking about, you know, your comfort 584 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: zone and it's he's got the message that he sticks 585 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: to and why they want you to do that, but 586 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: it's it's not authentic and you're not actually you're not 587 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: answering whenever. You know, there were so many times when 588 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: like one of the modern is just like, Okay, I'm 589 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: going to give you twelve more seconds. Do you wanna 590 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: answer the direct question? Like they like, I love the 591 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: wording because that really do you want to answer? The 592 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: direct question? Was said a lot like the phrase direct 593 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: brother and Elizabeth to Elizabeth Warren. And you mentioned, you 594 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: know that moment with Kamala you see her her humanness 595 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: in that moment. But I I felt that with Elizabeth 596 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: Warren on most of her answers that I wasn't just 597 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: looking at a politician. And we talked about this earlier, 598 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: how maybe she didn't always have the canned line answer. No, 599 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: she did, So if I were to like evalue Elizabeth 600 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,959 Speaker 1: warren'shul performance. Her her first answer and her last answer, 601 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: we're both very polished, very well scripted, what a progressive 602 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: politician would say in a movie. And between then she 603 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: talked like a normal person having a conversation with you, 604 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: which is why I would say from a presentation standpoint, 605 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,719 Speaker 1: she did not come across the best because she came 606 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: across as a person who is thinking through answers and 607 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: having a conversation with you, trying to answer them, which 608 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if it is a weakness or strength, 609 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: because Donald Trump comes across as a drunken farmer um 610 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: when and like anyone the presidency, that turned out to 611 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: be great, and we're all if fucking exhausted of people 612 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: who sound like politicians, and she sounds she sounded like 613 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: a politician, like a good politician at the first and 614 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: last answer. In between she sounded like a person trying 615 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: to find some oceans. Yeah, that'sated with but I understand, 616 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: like that's it's just important to note that that is 617 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: very true, um, and different people are going to take 618 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: that in different ways. For me, I found it refreshing. Also, 619 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: she taught special ed and UH as a person who 620 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: taught special and was bad at it. I didn't know 621 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: that about you. I did and was bad at it. 622 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: My job was mostly to get punched in the face. 623 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: But having literally gone to war zones and been shot at, 624 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: I can't imagine a harder job than teaching special education. 625 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: Anybody who dedicates a chunk of their life to doing that, 626 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: except for me, because I was at it is a hero. 627 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: Your mother does, right. Yeah, and to have a president 628 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: who I understand that. Yeah, I want to talk a 629 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: little bit about her. I don't have the answer to this, 630 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: but maybe you guys do. I've seen a lot of 631 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: pushback or some amount to with Warren online um specifically 632 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: about her stance on Palestine as well as Medicare for all. 633 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: Do you guys know anything about that? I've heard about 634 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: the Medicare for all of heard what the fun is 635 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: she saying about? Actually don't know. I don't think that 636 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: she has a hard stance against Israel, And I think 637 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,479 Speaker 1: the point I don't. I don't know. Try imagining anyone 638 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: having a hard stance against Ariel and running for president 639 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: in the United States. But that's the thing. I think 640 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: that seems like everyone is the same, Like no one. 641 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: No one is is making that an issue for them. 642 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: No one's trying to make themselves stand out. Actually, I 643 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: think a lot of people and people even have been 644 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: deeming me being like, I'm concerned about your support of 645 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: warrant because of her really, because of her stands and 646 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: Palestine and and what what have they specified on what 647 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: they're concerned about. She doesn't seem to have a lot 648 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: of empathy towards Palestinians, then yeah, I would consider that 649 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: an issue. And yeah, that's what I will say, And 650 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: what I can say without being more certain better specific views, 651 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 1: is that, like I'm sure she has more empathed with 652 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: Palestine than Donald try. Yeah, that's where yeah, and all do. Yeah, 653 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: And I guess that she was for Medicare for all 654 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 1: and then seemed to take a step but now she's 655 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: all in, seems, and she waffled on it. I think 656 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: she mainly waffled on because it's just not one of 657 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: the core issues that she's focused on. And I mean 658 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: she literally said I'm with Bernie on this one. Yeah, 659 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: so fine. I think we have to take word for them. 660 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 1: And it's one of those things where like part of 661 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: what you're voting for is not what the candidate espouses 662 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 1: and what they believed all the career, but whether or 663 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: not they are a sane person who could be pushed. 664 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: You will not push a Republican to make It's like 665 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: with climate change. Joe Biden, who I don't like if 666 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: he is elected president, doesn't have a good policy and 667 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 1: climate change right now, doesn't have a great history with 668 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: climate change. But I do firmly believe could be pushed 669 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: by a Democratic elector who cared about climate change to 670 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,399 Speaker 1: embrace effective policies to address it purely because he wants 671 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: to win re election and because he's a political animal. 672 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 1: Donald Trump will never do that. I believe that he 673 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: could be pushed during this process. I believe that we 674 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: could get him saying X, Y or Z, and I 675 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: think he'd go along with a Democratic Senate and House. 676 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 1: You might take any step on. That's why I don't 677 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: think that's what we need. I mean, I think I'm 678 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: preaching to the choir here, but I'm not talking about 679 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,760 Speaker 1: what we need. But just like if we're talking about 680 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: should you vote for Biden if it's Biden or Trump, Yes, 681 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: but I do feel like that has to be like 682 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: it's the kind of thing where it's like there's a 683 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: lot of criticisms to lot against everybody on the stage, 684 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of reasons to not like Biden. 685 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: But if he was president right now, we would have 686 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: a lot of the same problems we have, but children 687 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't have died in concentration camps. Yeah, and that's that's 688 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 1: not nothing to me. That's not nothing. I'm also trans 689 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't be banned from serving the military. I'm mostly I'm 690 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: just I'm mostly worried about post Biden and who they like, 691 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 1: who the Republican candidate is after I hate the idea 692 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: of the election. I think that the response to Joe 693 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: Biden would be someone smarter than Donald Trump, who am 694 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: still embodies the same kind of things, and that's totally 695 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: super reasonable. I just think for how terrible these years 696 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 1: have been with Donald Trump, the sort of positive that 697 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: you can take away is that we everybody's riled up 698 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:18,879 Speaker 1: in a way and paying attention in a way that 699 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: we maybe never been before. And if any of these 700 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: big broad changes that we we dream about happening are 701 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 1: going to happen, they're going to happen now because everybody's engaged. 702 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,720 Speaker 1: And I just feel in my bones that getting Biden 703 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 1: in there would be a huge step back from all 704 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 1: It would bum me out in a way that I 705 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 1: actually fear now long for him. I don't think he's 706 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 1: gonna make it. It seems like he's been bleeding support 707 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,879 Speaker 1: at a rate that makes me think it may not 708 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 1: be sustainable. That said, again, as somebody like you know, 709 00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 1: you've got the part of me who's like trying to 710 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 1: approach this as what I believe in a part this 711 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: prender approach as a journalist, he has really fucking solid 712 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,320 Speaker 1: support among the black and Latino community. It's so interesting. Um. 713 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 1: It's the same thing with Hillary Clinton. Is what I 714 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 1: argued with Bernie people a lot during the election, is 715 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 1: just like, no, she objectively won a larger chunk of 716 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: the non white Democratic vote than he did, by a 717 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: substantial margin. And that's not because of the d n C. 718 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 1: It's because she devoted a lot of time to campaigning 719 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 1: in those areas, any of those communities, And you have 720 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 1: to acknowledge that. I'm curious how true that will be 721 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,879 Speaker 1: for Biden. I am curious how that especial. We're very 722 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,799 Speaker 1: early yet, um, and he's yeah, I think it's just 723 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 1: been a lot of It's been a lot of name 724 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: recognition and a lot of the like he was Obama's 725 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: VP the Institution and just like the idea of Joe Biden. 726 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: And then as time went on, more and more stuff 727 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,359 Speaker 1: came out about him that should have been talked about, 728 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: maybe when he talked about trying to be vice president, 729 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, And now that you have 730 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 1: actual people on stage introducing those things, I just don't 731 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 1: think he'll I don't think Yeah, that's my hope, that's 732 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,240 Speaker 1: my hope, because like, he did not do well tonight. 733 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,240 Speaker 1: I know he was not the standout. No, he looked 734 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,240 Speaker 1: he looked real bad tonight. Let's talk about gun control. 735 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 1: We gotta talk about gun control. Both debates did. I 736 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 1: didn't like what anybody had to say Um, which is 737 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,720 Speaker 1: usually the case when I hear Democrats talk about gun control. 738 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 1: UM swallows the guy I like the least one of 739 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: the issues I have with him, and I I want 740 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 1: to make it clear to the listeners that as a 741 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 1: guy who owns a shipload of guns, I've never voted 742 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: on guns. I will never vote on guns. I do 743 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,720 Speaker 1: not make any of my voting decisions based on people's 744 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 1: gun policies I make because like, if I were voting 745 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 1: on that, then I would be throwing all of my 746 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 1: gay and trans and non white friends under the bus. 747 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 1: I would throw the climate under the bus. And I'm 748 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: not going to do that. That said, uh, when Swallow 749 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: made the statement that like, I don't care about your 750 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 1: handguns and your shotguns of gun crimes and murders are 751 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 1: committed with handguns and shotguns. You look at all of 752 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: the top guns that actually people in this country all handguns, 753 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,719 Speaker 1: he didn't care about them, he said, I'm not I 754 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: have no issue to go. I have no issues with that. 755 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 1: I want to go sized problem because I'm not gonna 756 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 1: say mass shooting center problem, but like really small chunk 757 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 1: of gun crime, actually really small chunk, which doesn't mean 758 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 1: we don't address it. But like the assault weapon focus 759 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: is always because it's an easy way out. That's scary. 760 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: They look, they look, they look scary, and and that's 761 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:32,279 Speaker 1: an easy talking point, Like, Okay, we can all agree that, yeah, 762 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,319 Speaker 1: no more handguns. No one wants to say. What the 763 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: real issue is that that is really fucking attractable difficult. 764 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 1: Is that there are a couple of simultaneous truths number one. 765 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: One of the single most important laws of this country 766 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 1: built into its nervous system, it's fucking spinal cord, is 767 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: the right to bear arms. The vast majority of gun 768 00:39:54,320 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: deaths in this country are suicides, and no restriction of firearms, 769 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,799 Speaker 1: save a total ban on gun ownership, we'll stop people 770 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 1: from being able to kill themselves with guns. That's the 771 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 1: single that's the issue that nobody talks about because there's 772 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 1: no real way to address it. Mass shootings people do discuss, 773 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: and I think they tend to get wrong, but like 774 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 1: that's one of those things. And this is one of 775 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:17,720 Speaker 1: the issues again where I have with people like Swabow 776 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 1: who talk about like gun buy backs, where it's like 777 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: you realize there's a Constitution and there's the Supreme Court, 778 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,400 Speaker 1: and there's like that, like that there's a body of law, 779 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,240 Speaker 1: and like what you are saying might not be legal, 780 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 1: and in fact has been categorical bands on weapons after 781 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: d C versus Heller, like r I'm constitutional, And again 782 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 1: there are states with individual sault weapons bands, so you 783 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 1: could argue, but those assault weapons bands, like California has 784 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,399 Speaker 1: assault weapons ban, and I was still able to own 785 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 1: an our fifteen and a K forty seven because their 786 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: Assault Weapons Band did not ban semi automatic weapons. They 787 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: banned certain features on weapons which didn't actually make it. 788 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 1: Because again, the most recent mass shooting we had in 789 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 1: California where we had like twelve dead, was thousands of 790 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: shootings we've done with a clock handgun. I think I 791 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: really wish we had people talking about guns in the 792 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 1: Democratic Party and how to effectively legislate them and restrict 793 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,839 Speaker 1: them that understood them. Um. And I also wish people 794 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 1: understood the fact that Bodhadeer served in the military does 795 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,239 Speaker 1: not mean he knows a damn thing about guns. Some 796 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 1: of the dumbest people about guns served in the military 797 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: aspect soldier. Yeah. Yeah, uh that's my rantin Monopolize that 798 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 1: that that's what was here for. Um. Yeah, this suicide 799 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: thing is a real problem and concern, and uh, it's 800 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 1: one of those things that is linked to so many 801 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,839 Speaker 1: other problems again and it kind of gets to what 802 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,239 Speaker 1: Mary Anne Williams was talking about, how do you, like, 803 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 1: what are the things that are causing this? Um And 804 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 1: you don't hear a lot of people even talking about, 805 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,280 Speaker 1: like when you talk about universal health care and medicare 806 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 1: for all those things like mental health is important and 807 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:54,839 Speaker 1: like people don't Uh, A lot of people don't have 808 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 1: anyone to talk to, and uh, if you give them 809 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,080 Speaker 1: that outlet helps with a lot of problem. I don't know, 810 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,399 Speaker 1: like I have the idea of like, well, no, we 811 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 1: if you give everyone the mental and physical care that 812 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 1: they need, that a lot of these problems not immediately, 813 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:13,879 Speaker 1: but like over time time. You'll see. It's just like Switzerland, 814 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,359 Speaker 1: every adult pretty much has an assault rifle in their home. 815 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 1: I did not know that, Yeah, because they're everyone who 816 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 1: serves in the military, which is like most of the 817 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,919 Speaker 1: adult population. Maybe I'm getting an exact but a lot 818 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 1: of people should I get and they take their weapons 819 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 1: home with them and it's a G thirty six C, 820 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,840 Speaker 1: which is a pretty potent gun. Um. Also, you know, 821 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:34,880 Speaker 1: I had an editor at a website I wrote with 822 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 1: who was Swiss, and when she got pregnant, Uh, she 823 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 1: and her husband both got like six or seven months 824 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 1: of maternity paternity leave, which is part of like the 825 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 1: package that they get. Like, and I think, you know, 826 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:47,840 Speaker 1: there's a lot of other stuff at play as too. 827 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:49,759 Speaker 1: If you're trying to wonder like why they Swiss don't 828 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 1: have mass shootings and we do. Um, because one thing 829 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:53,520 Speaker 1: that the right brings up a lot when they talk 830 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,319 Speaker 1: about gun controls, like look at Switzerland, they all have 831 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 1: machine guns, and like they don't commit nearly as many 832 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:58,760 Speaker 1: crimes as US. It's got to be a separate issue. 833 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,839 Speaker 1: They're not entirely wrong. Um, it's wrong to blame every 834 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,280 Speaker 1: mass shooting on mental health because that unfairly stigmatized tonically 835 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: old people. But it's also wrong they pretend that like 836 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,920 Speaker 1: the fact that most like therapy is something that has 837 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,840 Speaker 1: proven benefits for virtually everyone who engages in it, and 838 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 1: the vast majority of Americans could not possibly afford to 839 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,320 Speaker 1: engage in a therapist, reject the concept of it, but 840 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: also couldn't afford it even if they didn't. That's a problem. Yeah, 841 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,080 Speaker 1: it's a problem in a place where also, while you 842 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 1: can't afford a therapist for the cost of four hours 843 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 1: of therapy, US could buy an air fifteen. Yeah. That's 844 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,320 Speaker 1: that's an issue to me as a guy who you 845 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 1: can get them as cheap as forner Bucks, very cheap. Yeah. Yeah, 846 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,840 Speaker 1: that's like a month of therapy. Yea maybe, But none 847 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 1: of our but none of our conversations about guns include this, 848 00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 1: No they don't, and that's what then when they do, 849 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 1: it's sort of in a reductive way that like doesn't 850 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,520 Speaker 1: really yeah, well it's similar to mean, this is a transition, 851 00:43:55,680 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: but all of our conversations about immigration rarely include talking 852 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 1: about going into Latin America. Going into the being the debate, 853 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 1: it was addressed like we kind of fucked up Latin 854 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:15,439 Speaker 1: America what with the wars we can unbelievable. I mean 855 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,040 Speaker 1: I was truly yeah, well I was really impressed by 856 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,719 Speaker 1: that especially it was especially impressive, like it was it 857 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,160 Speaker 1: did seem like the majority of people on the stage 858 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 1: new and said that. Yeah, for all that, I and 859 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:29,759 Speaker 1: all of us, I'm sure will continue to shoot on 860 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party in frustration for the next year and 861 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,799 Speaker 1: a half. Kudos on both really focusing on trains people 862 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,200 Speaker 1: in how America sucked up Latin America. It really is 863 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,359 Speaker 1: a credit to the point even Biden was like, by 864 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,720 Speaker 1: the way, like we gave like millions of hundred millions 865 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 1: of dollars and sucked right, yeah, and then they stopped 866 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,759 Speaker 1: it and like here like it started to reduce the 867 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,439 Speaker 1: number of people and then here we are maybe like guys, 868 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 1: you remember like the Marshall Plan, like the single most 869 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,359 Speaker 1: effective thing that our government ever did, maybe in its 870 00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:03,359 Speaker 1: whole history. Maybe that again. No, Germany and Japan don't 871 00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,319 Speaker 1: seem like you're doing. How many they both reverted to 872 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,719 Speaker 1: fascism so many times since, constant to do it, so 873 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:18,799 Speaker 1: many built the country that famously still fascist statesman. I 874 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 1: remember how Japan has continued to invade China for the 875 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 1: last eighty years. We all remember, We all remember the 876 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 1: things that happened in real life and not making incredible products. 877 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,960 Speaker 1: I love products and services and services speaking of what 878 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 1: cheers And no we're not doing yeah um yeah, No, 879 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:43,440 Speaker 1: that was a great surprise.

But I don't like that brought up 899 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 1: the economic comperative of immigration, and that is another thing 900 00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,000 Speaker 1: that I don't see people talking about enough. We're like 901 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,600 Speaker 1: freaking out about everything that's happened in the border, and 902 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 1: nobody's really hammering down the point that we actually are 903 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,759 Speaker 1: in a situation where we need immigrants. We have a 904 00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,279 Speaker 1: dearth in the service industry. What are old people going 905 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:14,040 Speaker 1: to do without them?

And you know, and not that 911 00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:29,759 Speaker 1: my mom was an amazing person, but they were part 912 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,719 Speaker 1: of it was imperative. Nobody else would take that job. 913 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:38,320 Speaker 1: Is amazing person. She is an amazing person. Nobody we 914 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,440 Speaker 1: we needed them, she needed them, and they were better 915 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,320 Speaker 1: than everybody else. Yeah. Yeah, it's um one of the 916 00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,640 Speaker 1: things that eternally frustrates me. And then I frustrated me 917 00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,759 Speaker 1: with Bernie Sanders, who was a guy who I know 918 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,799 Speaker 1: on an emotional personal note, when the rest of my 919 00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:56,239 Speaker 1: family went for Trump and broke my heart in one 920 00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,960 Speaker 1: of the people who raised me, my aunt, who is 921 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,720 Speaker 1: a lifelong Republican, voted for Bernie Sanders, and the fact 922 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,919 Speaker 1: that because she was like I think he's the only 923 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,920 Speaker 1: honest man in the election, and he will always have 924 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 1: a piece of my heart for that. I am eternally 925 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:14,200 Speaker 1: frustrated with his insistence that borders are important, and I know, 926 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,439 Speaker 1: I know, this is a ridiculous hope. I will never 927 00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 1: have a party in either side of this country, left 928 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,520 Speaker 1: or right, who feels the way I do about borders, 929 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,880 Speaker 1: which is that they are a cancer destroying our entire species, 930 00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:28,160 Speaker 1: and that until we get past the concept we have 931 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,000 Speaker 1: no hope of long term survival. That's just me being 932 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:34,359 Speaker 1: a wild eyed radical. But I wish Bernie Sanders had 933 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 1: said funck all Borders thrown a smoke bomb and skateboarder 934 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:43,560 Speaker 1: out of the that would have been sick. Skateboard punched 935 00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:49,279 Speaker 1: him right out the door the debate. Yeah, and then yeah, 936 00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,920 Speaker 1: insulted him in Spanish or something. Yeah, I called him 937 00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,920 Speaker 1: a fucking put Yeah. Who do you think is going 938 00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 1: to make it to the next round? Do? How do 939 00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,719 Speaker 1: we eliminate people? Do we know? I think it Isn't 940 00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 1: it just like about the amount of PA pularity that's 941 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,560 Speaker 1: pulling and stuff? Right? Yeah, it seems like that would 942 00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,239 Speaker 1: be the only same way to do it. All I 943 00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 1: want to see I want to see I guess Warren, Bernie, 944 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,840 Speaker 1: But I do want to bring up one other thing. 945 00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,160 Speaker 1: Get frustrated the funk out of me one person Unless 946 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 1: I'm missing my guests on the first debate because I 947 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:18,560 Speaker 1: missed a little chunk of it because I was in 948 00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,799 Speaker 1: trance all was listening. I think one person in both 949 00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:25,279 Speaker 1: debates brought up white supremacy and it was fucking Joe Biden. Yeah, 950 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:29,799 Speaker 1: so yeah, that's disappointing. That's disappointing. I mean, good on you, Joe, 951 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,080 Speaker 1: Like we're not we're not trying to be like one 952 00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 1: of those fucking nothing but nihilistic podcasts here. So I'm 953 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,960 Speaker 1: gonna give people credit where it's due. He brought it up, 954 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,759 Speaker 1: He brought it on. Everyone should have because of all 955 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,399 Speaker 1: the dead people. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's You're right that 956 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,760 Speaker 1: there's an alarming lack of that. So he gets credit 957 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:48,960 Speaker 1: for that in my book. For that, I don't think 958 00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,839 Speaker 1: he's any kind of plan. It's a plan. I also 959 00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:53,600 Speaker 1: don't think he's really careble of talking about it in 960 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,360 Speaker 1: a way where he really understands it. It really and 961 00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,680 Speaker 1: like I think it's kind of the negative of that 962 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:00,799 Speaker 1: when like his first question, I forget even what the 963 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:02,719 Speaker 1: question was, but like one of the first words that 964 00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,600 Speaker 1: came out of his mouth with Donald Trump, and it 965 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:08,400 Speaker 1: seems like that's just the literal. His whole thing is 966 00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 1: just like, oh, the Charlottesville and Donald Trump and it's 967 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 1: bad in the soil of over country. But like he 968 00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,320 Speaker 1: doesn't really know where it's coming from or like why 969 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,520 Speaker 1: or he brought it. He had Charlotte'sville and a couple 970 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,520 Speaker 1: of my friends were in the ad that he put 971 00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,160 Speaker 1: up first. I saw that. Yeah, Like I will say, 972 00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,080 Speaker 1: also in credit to her, she didn't bring it up 973 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,840 Speaker 1: in the debates, and she should have. But Elizabeth Warren 974 00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,480 Speaker 1: has suggested plans and made it a focus of her campaign. 975 00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,400 Speaker 1: I did not know that. Yeah, she's talked about that, 976 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,600 Speaker 1: like white supremacy needs to be probably need to start 977 00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,160 Speaker 1: prosecuting these people's domestic terrorists, which we're not currently doing. 978 00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:44,320 Speaker 1: I think she should have said. That's my big bummer 979 00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 1: about Elizabeth warrenh how do you not do that? It's 980 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 1: a fucking debate, Elizabeth talk about it. Well, they don't 981 00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:53,520 Speaker 1: have very much time, but that's kind of a big one. 982 00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:56,799 Speaker 1: I do agree that's disappointed she didn't bring it up. 983 00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:01,359 Speaker 1: But Joe Biden thing seems like it's kind of lip 984 00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,880 Speaker 1: surface and like it's like, oh, I know that people 985 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,200 Speaker 1: care about this, and it's like a hot button emotional 986 00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,960 Speaker 1: topic that can bring up, as opposed to knowing where 987 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:10,799 Speaker 1: it comes from and what to feel about it and 988 00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,680 Speaker 1: call it lip service. If he wasn't the only fucking 989 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:19,720 Speaker 1: person images because no one else said anything, So like, yeah, 990 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:22,960 Speaker 1: he brought it up. Anything that I'd like to keep 991 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,560 Speaker 1: an eye out for the next one. Are there other 992 00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,200 Speaker 1: things that you guys want to see people talking about 993 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 1: in the next debates? You know, the most frustrating moment 994 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:34,239 Speaker 1: for me was when they got asked what they would 995 00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,160 Speaker 1: do if they could deal with one problem, and like 996 00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,160 Speaker 1: two people brought up climate change, and like someone brought 997 00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,120 Speaker 1: up like guns, and someone brought up about like like 998 00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,440 Speaker 1: income for families and stuff, and it's like, yeah, man, 999 00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,520 Speaker 1: both both gun control and improving family income are important, 1000 00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:51,160 Speaker 1: but like you know, the planets burning up, like no 1001 00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:54,160 Speaker 1: other answer. But the most important thing is to stop 1002 00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:58,719 Speaker 1: the environment from collapsing. Nothing else is that important. It's 1003 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:02,640 Speaker 1: the literally the thing that I need. Yea, I will 1004 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,880 Speaker 1: not vote for you unless you've got anoledgs just better 1005 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,400 Speaker 1: and warrant. I think who said climate change? That was 1006 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:12,160 Speaker 1: the first debate the second once people said it, I 1007 00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,279 Speaker 1: don't even picking Looper and whoever else. I do not 1008 00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,560 Speaker 1: like the answer, Like, well, the first thing I do 1009 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:21,239 Speaker 1: is to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 1010 00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:26,520 Speaker 1: I mean at least that's acknowledging climate change. We need 1011 00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,080 Speaker 1: much more than Gilibrand was the only one with a 1012 00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:33,640 Speaker 1: really good answer on like that. Yeah, So speaking of 1013 00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 1: what people want to see, one of the things we're 1014 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,560 Speaker 1: doing here, you know, we're trying to provide all of 1015 00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:44,360 Speaker 1: you with an effective and useful podcast series about this 1016 00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:48,560 Speaker 1: election that keeps you informed and hopefully helps not just 1017 00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:53,040 Speaker 1: drive interests but relieve stress and uh, provide some value 1018 00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,400 Speaker 1: to people trying to navigate what will be the worst 1019 00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:00,000 Speaker 1: year of all of our lives two thousand and twenty UM. 1020 00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,799 Speaker 1: And we wanna, you know, not just talk about what 1021 00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,959 Speaker 1: we thought about this election, but also because the people 1022 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:07,600 Speaker 1: we assume are listening to this of the folks who 1023 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,080 Speaker 1: like us the most, and the folks will be the 1024 00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,279 Speaker 1: core of the audience of our new podcast, The Worst 1025 00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,560 Speaker 1: Year Ever, We want to open the ship up to 1026 00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,440 Speaker 1: your suggestions about what you want to hear covered, what 1027 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,040 Speaker 1: you want to see addressed you, what you want to 1028 00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,160 Speaker 1: see us go into. Because there is a crowded field 1029 00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:24,320 Speaker 1: of political podcasts, and I find most of them deeply frustrating, 1030 00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,400 Speaker 1: and I don't want to make a frustrating and unlistenable podcast, 1031 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,400 Speaker 1: And I don't want to make a reflexively ideological podcast, 1032 00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,840 Speaker 1: which I hope we've avoided in this and sort of 1033 00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,239 Speaker 1: dealing with the people as they present come later Joe 1034 00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:41,399 Speaker 1: Biden a couple of times. Yeah, he didn't. Um. So 1035 00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,480 Speaker 1: we have an email and we want you to reach 1036 00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,160 Speaker 1: out to us if you have things you want us 1037 00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:49,400 Speaker 1: to cover, things you really want to see dealt with 1038 00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,960 Speaker 1: suggestions for how we handle this selection because we're all 1039 00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:54,799 Speaker 1: going to be doing a podcast Katie Coney and I 1040 00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,520 Speaker 1: the Worst Year Ever, where you know, I think we 1041 00:53:57,719 --> 00:53:59,080 Speaker 1: should give them a little bit of an idea of 1042 00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:03,359 Speaker 1: like what we are currently planning to hit in that. Yeah, yeah, definitely, Yeah, 1043 00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:05,560 Speaker 1: I mean you want to because I've just been ranting. Yeah, 1044 00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,680 Speaker 1: I mean, like a lot of this stuff. I think 1045 00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:09,120 Speaker 1: one of one of the things I think we all 1046 00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,920 Speaker 1: agree on is that we're not going to uh, we're 1047 00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,240 Speaker 1: gonna do our best to avoid making it the Trump 1048 00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,200 Speaker 1: Show at all, um, and it's not going to be 1049 00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:17,879 Speaker 1: about him. It's not gonna be other things he says 1050 00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:19,480 Speaker 1: or the stuff he tweets about it. And I like 1051 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:23,359 Speaker 1: that about these debates. Also, yes, we talked about for 1052 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,600 Speaker 1: the most part, they really avoided it. Yeah, I wouldn't 1053 00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,560 Speaker 1: making him the focus, which is very good, and so 1054 00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:33,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna avoid that. We want to talk about, Um, 1055 00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,920 Speaker 1: what they're actually talking about and the issues there and 1056 00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,560 Speaker 1: how they actually affect people, and like talking to talking 1057 00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,440 Speaker 1: to people and what affects them. Um, we will be 1058 00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:46,040 Speaker 1: going to various conventions throughout the year about stuff like 1059 00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:50,440 Speaker 1: the shot show.

It's like a convention of 1065 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,200 Speaker 1: people who think you can shoot bleach up your kids, 1066 00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:07,040 Speaker 1: but to cure autisms.

Robert's going to be our 1089 00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:29,200 Speaker 1: drug guru on this journey. I guess that's the end 1090 00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:32,080 Speaker 1: of our our debate. I think so. Yeah, it's been 1091 00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,080 Speaker 1: real fun. It's been real fun. Actually it has been. 1092 00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,960 Speaker 1: I've enjoyed. This has been great. It's more than the debates. Yes, 1093 00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:40,680 Speaker 1: this is the best part. I want to ask one 1094 00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:44,080 Speaker 1: quick question. Were moving on to the next thing. Do 1095 00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:48,280 Speaker 1: y'all think Joe Biden is a better kisser than Bernie 1096 00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:54,360 Speaker 1: Sanders Because I feel like Joe has the pass. I 1097 00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,239 Speaker 1: think he might be I think he might be a 1098 00:56:56,239 --> 00:57:02,640 Speaker 1: good kisser depends on how wanted the kisses. Now, that's 1099 00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:06,319 Speaker 1: an important point we're talking about, because Bernie does double 1100 00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:12,400 Speaker 1: consent checks, signs a contracts on board. I don't know 1101 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,440 Speaker 1: that Bernie's that interested. I mean, I think he's just 1102 00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,280 Speaker 1: got a lot going on. I'm assuming Bernie's down, like 1103 00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:20,560 Speaker 1: maybe we have some sort of pheromone spray so we 1104 00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,960 Speaker 1: know that the interest is there. No, I can't imagine 1105 00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,440 Speaker 1: being kissed by Bernie. You can't imagine being kissed by 1106 00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:27,800 Speaker 1: Bernie or either of them, really, But I think that 1107 00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:32,160 Speaker 1: I think that Joe Biden cares about making sure his 1108 00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,760 Speaker 1: kisses are good. I don't know. I do think Joe 1109 00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:39,040 Speaker 1: Biden cares about that. I will say I can imagine 1110 00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,280 Speaker 1: being on a beach and in Sonata and like sort 1111 00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,200 Speaker 1: of the wind blowing through my hair and like a 1112 00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:45,240 Speaker 1: little bit of sand in between my toad selling it 1113 00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 1: sipping a No, I'm talking about Bernie sipping a little 1114 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:53,040 Speaker 1: bit of like a nice like mescal, and Bernie Sanders 1115 00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:55,080 Speaker 1: puts his hand on my shoulders and leans into me 1116 00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:59,880 Speaker 1: and whispers into my ear. But I care for all 1117 00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:04,400 Speaker 1: unachievable dream and works and most of the developed world 1118 00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:09,800 Speaker 1: and that's the thing. Whereas like I feel like, um, 1119 00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,360 Speaker 1: Bernie can sweet Talkie, Bernie can, Bernie can get to 1120 00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:14,960 Speaker 1: your soul, Bernie can get to your emotions. Bernie cares 1121 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:19,800 Speaker 1: about sweet talk. Sure, I don't think. I think it 1122 00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:26,320 Speaker 1: depends on like who you are, you know, you know, idealistic, 1123 00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:31,480 Speaker 1: strong in their convictions, socialist.
