You know, it's 190 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: like trying to pull the kid aside and explain to 191 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: them and reason with them. I don't know how many 192 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: kids you guys have interacted with, but little kids don't 193 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: have logic. No, no, I'm not gonna explain something like that. 194 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: But you know, to that point, I have some friends 195 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: who are like that with their kids.

But that kind of made 202 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: things rocky a bit. But I was surprised they were 203 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: actually pulling this ship off. They're like, hey, look at me, 204 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: like breathe it out.

But I don't want them to be 215 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: afraid of getting hit. I'm looking for something else. Yeah, 216 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: well you can. You can just do with my grandma 217 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: did and and make them believe in the devil and 218 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: that they'll go to hell if they do bad ship 219 00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: that psychological trust, psychological trauma, you know, do that. You 220 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: can do that if you like. It don't work either, 221 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: but it does help that on Muslim and God gets 222 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: really specific about what that what's yeah, like this hell 223 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: exist in Islam? Yeah, and God just has like a 224 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: field day and look at it on about like you know, 225 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: if you're a girl, you're gonna get hung by your 226 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: nipples and brain will be boiled, and that's like the 227 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: least punishment you'll get, right, It's like really creative. Do 228 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: Muslims have like a fear of hell like Catholics do, 229 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: like that Catholic guilt that that creeps in with like 230 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: the idea, you know, like it, why not how is hell? 231 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: Because to kill people? The Muslim version of damnation is 232 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: it's like temporary. Right, There's like a hadith that said 233 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: that one day hell will be empty because it's almost 234 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: like a prison term. Once you do your term, you're 235 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: going to be taking it out. Yeah, that's progressive and 236 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 1: I'll get right, yeah, you know if if the nipple 237 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: hanging is temporary or the blood boiling, I'll get it back. Yeah, 238 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: and you I mean. And there's like in his Slam, 239 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: there's so many stories about redemption, and we talked about 240 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: God is like the most merciful thing that you can't 241 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: even comprehend how merciful God is. And so there's like 242 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: stories where like this person was terrible their whole life, 243 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: they murdered a bunch of people, and then right before 244 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: they died, they saw this dog in the desert that 245 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: was thirsty, so they took off their boot, they dipped 246 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: in a well and fed the dog and boom they 247 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 1: went to heaven. So there's like weird, it's not so. 248 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: I think there's little bit more nuance in a slam 249 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 1: where it's like you could it's you just have to 250 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: do more good than bad like that, right, right, right, 251 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,719 Speaker 1: it's got a net out to being positive or just 252 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: a bunch of bad ship.

Well, I think it's I think legos 323 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: are that thing right where like it works for kids 324 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: like the like I see even my nieces and nephews 325 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: they play with, like the stuff that's like from I 326 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: P that they funk with like on TV and ship 327 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: like did Star Wars. Legos stuff for other things that 328 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: are like you know shows they know and those are 329 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: like little kids, and but for adults, I think adults 330 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: see these things is like these collectors items that you 331 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: just build out of legos and you leave there. And 332 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: for me as a kid, I remember like having a 333 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: set like where I built like a land Speed or 334 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: some ship from Star Wars, and then part of me 335 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: I was like, man, I don't, like, I'm not gonna 336 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: leave this ship on my shelf, like I need to 337 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: play with ships. So then you inevitably start breaking it down, 338 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: and then you don't and you completely ignore how you 339 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: made it again, and now you left with a bunch 340 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: of land Speed or shaped pieces. So I think adults 341 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: and kids also interact differently. I don't know, but I 342 00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: think legos and are probably more for adults because we 343 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 1: can do ship with them, and for kids, like Plato 344 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 1: in the mix, what do you do? What do what adults? 345 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 1: The adult play? Do you do with? Like Plato? Hey, man, 346 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna needs you to stay on my business, okay, 347 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: all right? Yeah, all good, all good? Hey do you 348 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: do you? I know i'd be saying, but there are 349 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: some things we gotta leave secrets, all right, Yeah it's 350 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: my bad. Plato sounds sous. Yeah, yeah, it's a fun time, 351 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: you know what. I'm gonna just play dumb instead, how 352 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: about that? Uh? But yeah, I think again, let us 353 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: know about Legos, like, Yang, how do you feel about it? 354 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: Dial in callers, listeners, because I think we're at that 355 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: point now where you see Legos kids on stock X, 356 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: like there's a there's a resell market for the stuff 357 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: that meant to like appeal to our sense of nostalgia. 358 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: Like I remember I tried to buy the home Alone house, 359 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 1: the Lego Home Alone house to build like over like 360 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: new like Christmas break, because I was like, fucking I 361 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: want to I want to make some I go ship again. 362 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 1: That ship sold out so quick and then it's like 363 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: expensive on stock X. There's like a new back to 364 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: the Future set, like a DeLorean. That ship is so 365 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 1: fucking like ten x priced up on stock acts too expensive. 366 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: It should be handed down. Always don't never buy Lego, 367 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,719 Speaker 1: pass it down. Yeah, exactly, exactly, good point. I'm surprised 368 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: you're not like community centers or they're like do bring 369 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: your Legos in, because like they're essential to are like 370 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: spatial reasoning skills and like you know, nurturing our little 371 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 1: engineering hearts as children. Mm. Yeah, I don't know. I 372 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: don't know, am. And what is something that's underrated? Oh? Okay, 373 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: so this is something that's at the top of my 374 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: mind because I just filed the piece to my editor 375 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: about it this week. Yo, Miles, this piece is like 376 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: words long man. This this piece is like ten pages. 377 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: It's all about the book banning influencers a face book, 378 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: and there's like these moms who are very aggressive about 379 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: getting other moms radicalized and involved about these books that 380 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: are about LGBT, about race, about things that you know, 381 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: progressives have been really trying hard to get the country 382 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: comfortable about talking about. But they're trying to get these 383 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: books not just thrown out of schools but in the 384 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: public libraries. They're trying to limit access to all this stuff. 385 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: And so I tried and I tracked down some of 386 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: these pages where these moms are. What they're doing is 387 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: the reviewing books on their own and making lists and 388 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: Excel documents and pds and sharing them around saying, hey, 389 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: check your school for this book. And they're not like, 390 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: they're not like that bad there their books about just 391 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: like their their memoirs written by black writers, their memoirs 392 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: written by LGBT writers, and they're trying to say that 393 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: this stuff is profane, Like imagine how how you have 394 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: to feel in your insides about feeling about somebody else's 395 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: lived experience being profane. It's it's a lot, it's heavy, 396 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: but they're really successful man there. So I focused it 397 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: on the library in Jonesboro, Arkansas, where there have been 398 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: just you know, we we've been seeing with the school 399 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: board meetings exactly the same thing with the crazy Torrians 400 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: of parents being very aggressive and angry with the library 401 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: board specifically because they had an LGBT display that for 402 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: Pride Month. That happened like a year ago, and so 403 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: it's the Overton window for what is acceptable not acceptable 404 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: feels like it's shifted in the last year where now 405 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: these parents are getting online and they're organizing, and it's 406 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: it's actual grassroots. It's not an AstroTurf like what we've 407 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 1: seen before that with the GOP. These actual concerned moms 408 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: have been radicalized and other radicalizing other moms, and it's 409 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: it's not going away anytime soon. So I think that's 410 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 1: something that is underrated and we should be maybe strategizing 411 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: a little bit more, talking to these people more, trying 412 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: to understand it more right, because I think a lot 413 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: of people don't realize too. I mean, just you think 414 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: of the during the Civil rights movement, like the role 415 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: of mothers to keep civil rights from progressing, and like 416 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: the new language that mothers were able to create in 417 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: the backlash of the Civil rights movement. Succeeding was to 418 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: begin to emphasize a lot of these issues through the 419 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 1: lens of motherhood or parenting as a way to draw 420 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: back a lot of these gains that have been made. 421 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 1: And yeah, like when you hear when like like you're 422 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: saying now to just say, oh wow, this story of 423 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: you growing up poor and black, that's this is this 424 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: is gonna damage a child. But again, I think it's 425 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: so transparent at this point that we see that anything 426 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: that would potentially give expand someone's worldview that wouldn't make 427 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 1: them completely very susceptible to misinformation. I mean, that's that's 428 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: threatening information. It seems like, you know, what's what's wild 429 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: about it is that these parents are encountering these books 430 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: in the libraries, right, they're encountering them on Facebook. And 431 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: so when they encounter them on Facebook, they're seeing just 432 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: the one page where the author might describe being violated 433 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,959 Speaker 1: by their uncle, you know, right, right, And so if 434 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: the author is writing about that, they're gonna say, look 435 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: at what their trying to force fee to our kids, 436 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: kind of like what they're talking about the Disney trying 437 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: to group kids, right, They're using that same language. And 438 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: so when they send out these lists of hundreds of 439 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: books and then these parents will just blindly not read them, 440 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: not find them. They're just gonna call their libraries and 441 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: asked that they do have this book. Well this book 442 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: has X y Z in it, And so they're gonna 443 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna flip out, and they're radicalizing other parents and 444 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: getting other parents involved. And I spent some time on 445 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: one of these Facebook pages, and Miles, I gotta tell you, man, 446 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: there is like as a parent too, I can kind 447 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: of see what's upsetting about all this stuff, right, because 448 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: when you just take these one pages from however many 449 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: books and put them all together, it does somehow look 450 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: like the libraries trying to enforce some kind of sexual 451 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: agenda or racial agenda. But these are just one or 452 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: there may be like a hundred books, but like they 453 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: might be like one of ten thousand that they have 454 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: access to. And even then, what are the chances that 455 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: they're eight year old and then one year old are 456 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 1: gonna go into contract the love or something. Right, they're 457 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: looking for books on dinosaurs and trucks, right, that's the 458 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: kind of things. So they're saying, don't, don't enforce us, 459 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: don't don't try to act like sex educators when you're 460 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: just supposed to be talking the books, talking the library 461 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: of books. And and to a degree, I kind of 462 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: you can see the logic there. It's not if if 463 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: that were true, like if all of that books were 464 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: just these like terrible scenes really like over and over 465 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: and over again, rather than like one tiny speck of 466 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: information in a much larger you know, written work, right, 467 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: because it's very manipulative to you know, it's manipulative as Facebook. Yeah, 468 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: so it's very you know, you know, like I know 469 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: I would never do this because I'm not a fucking 470 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 1: terrible person actively, but I know that I could currently 471 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: we don't know what you do with play though, so 472 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: we were you know, again, we're gonna keep that, We're 473 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: gonna keep that on the d L. But uh but 474 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: you know, I I know that I could take a 475 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: page and put an on Facebook because I know there 476 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: are people on there who wouldn't do the necessary extended research, right, 477 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: And so when you take people who operate on bad faith, 478 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: like that they know what they're doing, they're just trying 479 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: to fit an agenda. And I and I don't know 480 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: the reason why, you know, but I mean I do 481 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: know the reason why, but it is and it's a 482 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: disappointing reason why. And it's it's very surprising that it works, 483 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,479 Speaker 1: you know, because when we were younger and the Internet 484 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: was supposed to be this great wealth of information and then, 485 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: like I said, people with bad faith will use it 486 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 1: for misinformation, to basically just push their agenda towards people 487 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: who don't quite get the internet, you know what I'm saying, 488 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: or people who do who just like to see what 489 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: they like, you know. Oh yeah, this fits into my fear, 490 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: you know, to the box of you know, if anything 491 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: is presented in the persuasive enough way and it appeals 492 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: to your emotions in some level, like yeah, you're gonna 493 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: be more open to remember being like in college being 494 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: some contrarian stoner and watching loose change and we're like, yo, bro, 495 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: I've just seen the matrix of nine eleven found like 496 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: you're ready and that's the kind of ship and it's 497 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: like and and at that time, it fit because I 498 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: had a very specific way of thinking. This was reinforcing 499 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: that it helped me feel like I was actually like, 500 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: I see, I'm I'm actually seeing the matrix y'all while 501 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: y'all are just doing your thing. And yeah, and we 502 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: see that extended and reiterated in different ways. And now 503 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: we're at this point to where Facebook does have this 504 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: thing where now it has the feeling of like concerned parents, 505 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: because on on some level it is, but it's you know, 506 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: the aims are insidious. Obviously, because we're just back at 507 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: with Bernie. If I could say that one of the 508 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: reasons why I'm so excited about this piece is that, 509 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: you know, as a journalist, especially in this in this 510 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: crazy cog, a giant machine that every journalist is a 511 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: part of, it's so rare to encounter a story like this. 512 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 1: You feel like you can actually get some truth outright 513 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: that's also already being talked about in some degree in 514 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,719 Speaker 1: the ether that you know it's going to get clicked, 515 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: and you know it's gonna it's it's it's kind of 516 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 1: tapping into a larger conversation that people are already having 517 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: about critical race theory and LGBT rights. You know, and 518 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: this is one of the worst parts that I think 519 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: is it's part of the parcel when you do become 520 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: a journalist, is that we gauge success now by however 521 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: many clicks your piece gets, and it's impossible that that 522 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: doesn't influence the kind of stories that you eventually become 523 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: interested in. So I'm so excited about this piece because 524 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: this feels like an opportunity to actually go and do 525 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: some real investigative work that is already tapping into something 526 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: that people are are concerned about. So this is one 527 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: of those rare moments for me where I was I 528 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 1: got to I got to go all in, I got 529 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: to spend like a month on this piece. I'm telling you, 530 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: it's ten pages long, and just it's one of those 531 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 1: reaffirming moments for me as a journalist where it's like, oh, yeah, 532 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: this is why I became a journalist. When when can 533 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: we have When are we gonna get blessed with the writing? Oh? 534 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: I mean it's so long, so maybe the two weeks, 535 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: all right, we'll come back. I'm not worried about getting 536 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: scooped because no, no, not, We're saying come back when 537 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: when it drops, come back. And then let's let's just sucking. 538 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: Let's just lay it all out when you're when it 539 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: drops that way, everybody can you can get the knowledge. 540 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be 541 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: right back. And we're back. So Joe Biden's administration, Uh, 542 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 1: they seem to be doing something slightly good. The National 543 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: Labor Relations Board there in this process of like looking 544 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: at what is known as captive audience meetings. As it 545 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: relates to it's a union busting tactic essentially, the captive 546 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: audience meaning or meeting, and it's one of the union 547 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 1: busters most coveted tools because you know, when workers even 548 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: start talking about backing themselves and unionizing, the process of 549 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: like shutting that down starts basically immediately the second management 550 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: catches like wind of something like this happening. So already, 551 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: you know, workplaces will do things like prevent people from 552 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: leafletting or using company property to have like a meeting 553 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: to discuss unionizing. It has to be done all of 554 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 1: like you know, off of the company's infrastructure, essentially because 555 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: they don't want people. They want to take every organizing 556 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: tool away from people. But the captive audience meeting is 557 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: where a lot of people end up getting really shook. 558 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: And this is the thing that I think has been 559 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: talked about. I mean, we always referenced it because we've 560 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: talked about the historic unionization that happened in New York 561 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: at that Amazon warehouse, and also we talked about Howard 562 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: Schultz last week, the Starbucks CEO who's basically begging more 563 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: Starbucks as he calls them partners to maybe not think 564 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: about unionizing. But these meetings are usually mandatory where some 565 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: fucking corporate goon comes through and filling people's heads with 566 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: bullshit like unions are like, I can't believe it that 567 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: this union you want to join. I don't know if 568 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: you guys heard about it. They're like so fucked up 569 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: and corrupt. Like it's a bad look first of all, 570 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: to like even align yourself with these people. Also, do 571 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: you know what they do. They're gonna steal all your 572 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: money in the form of union dudes that they tell 573 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: you is actually gonna help you, when what it really 574 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: does is they take that money and they buy yachts 575 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: and stuff. That's what they do. That's how it works. 576 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: And it's like, no, that's actually the people. We're trying 577 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: to protect ourselves from the gut art checks but okay, 578 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: and it's and those are the kinds of that's like 579 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: the energy in these kinds of meetings if you speak 580 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: up and ask questions, Like there's plenty of anecdotes from 581 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: people who have been in these meetings at any company 582 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: where if you start asking sort of pointed questions, let's 583 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: just start shutting you down. But like, okay, this is 584 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: my meeting, Like you need to stop talking, okay, and 585 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: you guys need to listen to what I'm saying. And 586 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: the bottom line here is that these are such transparently coercive, 587 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: you know, maneuvers to stop people from unionizing, like you know, 588 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: the idea that you're gonna hold someone's job over their 589 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: heads so you can hear about the errors of unionization 590 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: and like how it will absolutely negatively affect your life. 591 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: It's basically the hostage situation to prevent you from actually 592 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: advocating for yourself. So the pro Act was passed in 593 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: the fall by the House, and that was actually addressing 594 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: things like these captive audience meetings. But because it only 595 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: passed the House means it has to go through the Senate, 596 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: so we don't really know when that will be fully 597 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: become a law, and we do we know what we 598 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: can officially do away with it, and then yeah, right, 599 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: So in the meantime, the National Labor Relations Board is 600 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: basically saying, like, I think maybe we need to change 601 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: our stance on this, because for the longest time, it's 602 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: sort of been accepted that these are legal, that it's 603 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: okay for companies to do this. But the head of 604 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: the n l r B is now saying, you know, 605 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: like this is kind of some fun shit, so maybe 606 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: we need to actually amend what our official stances on this. 607 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: And this is where it kind of becomes a double 608 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: edged sword. Some organizers say, if the like National Labor 609 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: Relations Board says captive audience meetings are completely out of 610 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: the question, that it's it's a slippery slope in the 611 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: sense that one, if you do away with making the 612 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: meetings mandatory, it offers a way for management to begin 613 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: to identify people who might be pro union based on 614 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: their attendance at these meetings, and that would allow allow 615 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: for them to deploy some like asymmetric like harassment campaign 616 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: to try and chase them out of the company or 617 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: or find some dumb reason to fire them and then 618 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: on the other side, though, by having them kind of 619 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: mandatory allows people to actually have to be there and 620 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: like turn up. Basically, there was an interview from in 621 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: These Times that they were talking to the organizers at 622 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: the New York Amazon facility and they basically said, because 623 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: it was mandatory, that gave us a moment to get 624 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: really loud and draw attention to the fact that we 625 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: needed a union, and that had a lot of people 626 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: who were on the fence be like organically asking questions, 627 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: being like why did you have them leave right now? 628 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: Shouldn't we also hear like why it's good because we're 629 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: only hearing that it's add But every time they try 630 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: and bring something up, you guys are trying to kick 631 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: them out. So we'll see where it goes. But I 632 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: will say nothing, Um, there's nothing that will get me 633 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: fired up to do work. Then you're forcing me to 634 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: come to work, you know, like, because if you don't, 635 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: then I'm just left to my own devices. Then I'm 636 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: just gonna hill at the crib and do whatever. But 637 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: and I mean this in like an activism way, but 638 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: if you're forcing me to come to a meeting and 639 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: you're forcing me to be here, I don't do the 640 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: whole time, it's thinking like I shouldn't be doing this ship. 641 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure. I'm gonna make sure I don't 642 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: have to do this ship right. Well, you know the 643 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: hard part is most people they go to these meetings 644 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: and they hear like, yo, man, this could suck the 645 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,719 Speaker 1: company up, this, this could create your job, this might 646 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: threaten your job, and they start putting that in your 647 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: head and now suddenly you don't give a funk about 648 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: humane work schedules or pay or benefits because now you've 649 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: you've had this existential threat like just put right in 650 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,959 Speaker 1: front of you and yeah, that's that will absolutely affect 651 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: how you vote when it comes to membership. But meanwhile, 652 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: the Chamber of Commerce simps are in full force out 653 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: here saying ship like, well, if companies can't intimidate their workers, 654 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: it will quote silence job creators. The consequences will be disastrous. 655 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: Uh huh, I don't see why they need to not 656 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: be silenced, Like what you gotta talk for? You've just 657 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: given jobs. We know what you're there for. You ain't 658 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: gonna say, but these people, you don't understand that that 659 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: they what they're asking for could absolutely decimate the company financials. 660 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: It's like they want to steal from us or something. 661 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: The CEO of Starbucks, I don't know, did you guys 662 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: see this video? The CEO of Starbucks. Oh yeah, and 663 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: maybe like a few days ago, well, they were. He 664 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: had a meeting about you know, why unions are bad 665 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: and uh, he compared it to assault. He said, they're 666 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: being assaulted. American corporations are being assaulted by people's unionization efforts. 667 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: And again, we'll say this all the time if it 668 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: relates to oligarchs and people and workers wanting equity or 669 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: oppressed people wanting equity trying to combat inequality. Again, equality 670 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: always looks like an existential threat to the people that 671 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: have more than they need. That's just like, that's how 672 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: you tell on yourself. Because if someone's asking for equality 673 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh fuck, that means you got too much. 674 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: That means you've got a little too much dip on 675 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: your chip. And if equality is a threat to your 676 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,720 Speaker 1: bottom line, maybe you should change the way you operate 677 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 1: your business. Well, this is just the country I'm in aiming, 678 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: you know, Like, I'm just I'm just this is what 679 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: I'm If I could change the rules I would. I would, 680 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: you know, I would, but you can't paying them different. 681 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: You're a good guy. You're a good guy. I'm not 682 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: gonna do that though, But I won't do that. It's 683 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,280 Speaker 1: it's pretty wild to me though too. You know there's 684 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: just something so that don't understand I now, look, I'll 685 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: say this. I mean you should. It's tax season right now. 686 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: You know we're in an entertainment you know, world and ship. 687 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: The more successful you get, you know, the more you 688 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 1: having to pay taxes.

Man, 705 00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,919 Speaker 1: that's because you're not balling enough to be a public 706 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: we traded company. Maybe that's what it is, you know, 707 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 1: Maybe that's what it is. And must you not have 708 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: that shareholder value?

I'm a businessman. Yeah, let 717 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:43,359 Speaker 1: me handle my business. Damn speaking of business, Disney, their 718 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 1: business might be on shaky ground now they're not. Let 719 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 1: me tell you something that Yes, that ship is what 720 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: I live around the corner from from the Disney headward. 721 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,359 Speaker 1: So when I so like literally I can look out, 722 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,800 Speaker 1: I can look on my window kind of you know, 723 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 1: peek my head around a couple of trees, and I 724 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,919 Speaker 1: was seeing all these motherfucker's It was on my front 725 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: step basically, right. So also I'm telling people where I live, 726 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 1: and maybe I shouldn't do that, but like, but which gate? 727 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 1: Which gate? The one off Buena Vista or the other one. 728 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 1: Now we're gonna keep that a secret with the play. 729 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: Though we don't keep that a secrets with the play, 730 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. But right now, right the Conservatives there, 731 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: they got they got a lot of energy, but nowhere 732 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 1: to put it because they all of their outraged circuits. 733 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: They're trying to fire him on every piston, but they 734 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: just can't find something to stick. Ever since mask mandates 735 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: and just general safe practices dealing with the pandemic have 736 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: dwindled across the country, the right, they've lost a lot 737 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 1: of their culture war like steam and the trucker convoy 738 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: that we saw on the Beltway, we talked about that 739 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 1: that was a literal piss soaked disaster. So and like 740 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 1: you couldn't have been a more just like pathetic l 741 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,720 Speaker 1: to take like in public like that. But that's they 742 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,320 Speaker 1: don't respond to public losses like that, so all of 743 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 1: the GOP is like activist wing, they needed something to 744 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 1: scream and lie about. So while Disney Company stepped right up, 745 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 1: because ever since they did the bare minimum and say 746 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 1: they are against homophobia, the right has pretty much immediately 747 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 1: took the the like anti mask energy that they had 748 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: and pivoted into Disney is grooming children. They're grooming kids, 749 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,879 Speaker 1: grooming them for what. Oh, they're grooming them. They're grooming them. 750 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 1: They're grooming. That's what I know. And that's the word 751 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,360 Speaker 1: I that's the word I keep seeing my Facebook posts, 752 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,680 Speaker 1: and so I would just say that, which I'm sure, 753 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: like we've seen in like in America in general, buzzwords 754 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 1: pop up and nobody knows what the funk they mean, 755 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: but they know they're against it. So we are now. 756 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 1: I think we have now, like we've definitely shifted into 757 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: the start ship in physical space phase of their latest 758 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: outrage campaign, which means misspelled signs and Lula Lula role 759 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: leggings this far as the eye can see, and like 760 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 1: what we're talking about is out front at the Disney 761 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 1: h Q and Bourbank, California on like at the end 762 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:09,719 Speaker 1: of the towards the end of the week, there's a 763 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,919 Speaker 1: huge crowd out there with a bunch of the alt 764 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,240 Speaker 1: right typical people.

Like, 801 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,239 Speaker 1: prove it to us, prove it to us that you 802 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: are so concerned with grooming by holding the people in 803 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,799 Speaker 1: your own party accountable if you can do that right. 804 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,759 Speaker 1: And they've skipped a very important step in conservative outrage, 805 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 1: which is like, when you're trying to get your movement going, 806 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 1: you have to have victims to hang this all on, 807 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 1: to be like, look, and this is the person funked up. 808 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: If it's socialism, they're like, look at the people of Venezuela, 809 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,720 Speaker 1: Oh my god, do you see what's happening there. Ignore 810 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: the sanctions that the US has put on there to 811 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 1: make it like that. Just look at that, and we 812 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: call it that social it's so bad or the fucking 813 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,839 Speaker 1: thought killing cliche that I know you've had to deal 814 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,279 Speaker 1: with because I've seen it in your work and people 815 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: being like sharia law? What about sharia law? They're like 816 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 1: what and what do you know about that? Oh? Oh boy, 817 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,880 Speaker 1: but you need And then you can point to people 818 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,839 Speaker 1: who are like and these are the victims of this thing. 819 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: I'm not seeing them parade out a bunch of kids 820 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 1: who are like, yo, man, uh supersize me? Or what 821 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 1: the or what the supersize people? What's that? What? Dude? 822 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:24,839 Speaker 1: I'm so bad with? Uh? Fucking that that the toy 823 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,479 Speaker 1: story or fucking cars like funked up my whole life 824 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,839 Speaker 1: and set me down like this dark path of like victimization. 825 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,279 Speaker 1: They don't they don't have that, So it's just really 826 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:38,360 Speaker 1: seems like they're having trouble connecting dots. But again, I 827 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,399 Speaker 1: think the most powerful thing about it all is all 828 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 1: of these whether it's the transphobia or racism or homophobia 829 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 1: or whatever what have you, it's all rooted in these 830 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 1: people need to feel that they have an active role 831 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 1: in taking someone's power away. It doesn't matter what it 832 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 1: is or that they are, they're actually right or they 833 00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,360 Speaker 1: have a reason too. It's just to sort of like 834 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 1: reignite this feeling that they have that they that they 835 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:05,279 Speaker 1: aren't losing out on, like societal progress. You know something 836 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 1: that you said earlier I thought plugs right into this, 837 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 1: something about how people need something to latch their anxieties onto. 838 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 1: And so if you're feeling a certain type of if 839 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,279 Speaker 1: you're uncomfortable with your situation for any one reason, you're 840 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: gonna need an outlet. And you know which, what's really 841 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 1: scary about this is that it has nothing to do 842 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,880 Speaker 1: with the actual facts. It's like expressing the emotion. And 843 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,360 Speaker 1: if you see people who are expressing the emotion that 844 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 1: you you crave that you also want to unleash. It's 845 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 1: it's really addictive to get into caught into that cycle 846 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 1: and see things in the same way. And the reason 847 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,440 Speaker 1: why I say it's addictive is because it's really easy 848 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 1: to go from one issue to the next. Because if 849 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,800 Speaker 1: you spend any time that any of these message boards, 850 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,879 Speaker 1: very rarely are they ever just talking about the one issue. 851 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,120 Speaker 1: They're gonna link critical race theory to what's happening in 852 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,439 Speaker 1: Florida with the don't say Gay bill. They're gonna link 853 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,919 Speaker 1: what's happening with like key Mouse with whatever they're they're 854 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 1: concerned about in Ukraine. Even so, they're gonna they're gonna 855 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:09,360 Speaker 1: just try and frame everything is this existential battle against 856 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 1: the global elite. Whatever that means. Please any of them. 857 00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,080 Speaker 1: Just name someone who's in the global eleat besides like 858 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 1: George Sorrows, who have been trained to say, but there 859 00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,960 Speaker 1: is the I mean that they need to do. They 860 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 1: need to unleash their feelings. And it doesn't really matter 861 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,200 Speaker 1: whether or not it's true. They just are latching onto 862 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:33,560 Speaker 1: these people who are presenting themselves as fighting this big fight. 863 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 1: They're on this crusade because they're not falling for the tricks, 864 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,959 Speaker 1: and it just so happens that the GOP is leaning 865 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,239 Speaker 1: into that and they're making that they're I want to 866 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:45,840 Speaker 1: call it their death throw because I don't know how 867 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 1: they're going to survive when this next generation of kids 868 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,799 Speaker 1: grows up and after seeing Donald Trump, how are they 869 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,359 Speaker 1: ever going to vote for the people who are who 870 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:58,319 Speaker 1: will say the January six wasn't insurrection, but I'll vote 871 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,080 Speaker 1: for him again because I like his policy right, it's 872 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,919 Speaker 1: also just and it is It tickles me so much. 873 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:13,279 Speaker 1: How then skinned they are are? You know, because when 874 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:17,400 Speaker 1: they don't say gay bill was before it passed and 875 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 1: Disney wasn't saying anything, you know, they're like, yeah, yeah, 876 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:23,840 Speaker 1: you know they were, and they were on you know, 877 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,480 Speaker 1: kind of on their side, and then one little opposition 878 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 1: and now it's like, oh, Disney grooming kids. There's like, 879 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:34,600 Speaker 1: you can't take one little opposition for them. It's I 880 00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,920 Speaker 1: think it's further proof that they are more and more 881 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,719 Speaker 1: outside of the main stream. When you have more and 882 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,480 Speaker 1: more companies come out in opposition and for something as 883 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 1: broad as Disney to do it, that's a gut check 884 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: for some of these homophobes or they're like, am I 885 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 1: is that true? And they're like, no, it's because they 886 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,120 Speaker 1: groom in the kids, and that's what that's that sling shot, 887 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,799 Speaker 1: and I give that is more for those of us 888 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 1: would more than half a brain. We you also know 889 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,799 Speaker 1: a week before it that Disney one saying shit, right, 890 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it's fake, you know? 891 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 1: Is all? Well, I think that's there's something to like 892 00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:12,800 Speaker 1: aim at what you're saying, though, right, is like that 893 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,640 Speaker 1: their look they need to express themselves and it's it's 894 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,279 Speaker 1: like that. The thing that all of these people have 895 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 1: in common is that they have a completely like they 896 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:24,400 Speaker 1: have no emotional vocabulary. It's completely stunted, and they have 897 00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,839 Speaker 1: no way of expressing emotions except it's like very specific 898 00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,840 Speaker 1: like ways that aren't necessarily connected to what they're actually feeling. 899 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 1: So it allows for this like very unhealthy way of 900 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 1: expressing yourself while not really getting to the part that 901 00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 1: would give you some relief, so you stay locked in 902 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,759 Speaker 1: this like pattern. We're able to do that, and I think, 903 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,160 Speaker 1: I mean that's just right wing activists or not. And 904 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,239 Speaker 1: it's a part of the human experience that if you're 905 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,799 Speaker 1: trapped in that you're only going to I think, further exacerbate, 906 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,520 Speaker 1: you know, your your lack of comprehension of what's happening 907 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,920 Speaker 1: around you and be more susceptible to stuff. So totally, totally, 908 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,719 Speaker 1: I mean some of the rhetoric gon Ukraine has been 909 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 1: I think really keen understanding some of this stuff because 910 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,279 Speaker 1: on the one hand, there are people who are pro 911 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:13,400 Speaker 1: Putin because they see Putin as this macho Trump asked 912 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:17,320 Speaker 1: like Christian Knight, who is trying to to take on 913 00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,120 Speaker 1: the Western elites, which are like the same enemies of 914 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,279 Speaker 1: the far right, and so they see Putin is on 915 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,239 Speaker 1: their same side. But at the same time, there are 916 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 1: also people on the far right who see who and 917 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,400 Speaker 1: is the enemy because he's hiring Chechens and people from 918 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,920 Speaker 1: the Middle East to come and fight Ukraine, and so 919 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,240 Speaker 1: they're calling that they're blaming Putin for for making Ukraine 920 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:39,719 Speaker 1: into a quote unquote white graveyard. So there, and so 921 00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,279 Speaker 1: it almost doesn't need to make sense, So they don't 922 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 1: even necessarily need to align themselves with the same trail 923 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 1: of logic. They're just gonna express themselves in the same way. 924 00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,360 Speaker 1: They're just looking to latch onto any of these world 925 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 1: events and wrap it into their big conspiracy right. Exhausting, exhausting, 926 00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:01,759 Speaker 1: trying to cover your sad trails. Um, all right, let's 927 00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 1: take a quick break. We'll be right back and we'll 928 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:17,319 Speaker 1: talk about some I guess pathetic stuff and we're back. 929 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 1: Just gotta check in with Devin Noonas because that guy. 930 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:25,480 Speaker 1: Um So truth Social is a fucking nightmare. If you 931 00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 1: are invested in its success at all, if you're invested 932 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 1: in its fiery, explosive descent into hell like I am, 933 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 1: then this is great news has been a wonderful story 934 00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,200 Speaker 1: to watch this last week. We talked last week about 935 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:40,080 Speaker 1: how the numbers have gone to absolute shit. Nobody is downloading, 936 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,440 Speaker 1: barely anyone using it. The word is that Trump is 937 00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,560 Speaker 1: pissed about like this public l So it makes sense 938 00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,839 Speaker 1: that at the end of last week Devon Nounas, who's 939 00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:52,080 Speaker 1: like the head of like Trump's digital brand or digital company, 940 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 1: went out to spin like the terrible headlines and he 941 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,279 Speaker 1: went on Fox um Maria Bardaromo Show, and she she 942 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:00,960 Speaker 1: sort of like at him up to sort of like 943 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,600 Speaker 1: compare truth to Twitter by saying, like, hey, so, like 944 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:07,719 Speaker 1: what's your what's your take on truth? Competition Twitter, you know, 945 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,239 Speaker 1: getting in bed with Elon Musk and y'all, this is 946 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 1: just this is some I just like when you got 947 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,000 Speaker 1: to soothe yourself with some lies. So let's listen in 948 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:21,360 Speaker 1: on Devin Newness. Is your reaction to Elon Musk taking 949 00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:27,279 Speaker 1: a nine percent steak in one of your competitors, certainly Twitter? Well, 950 00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,360 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's very interesting because you know, 951 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,279 Speaker 1: the goal that President Trump has and what I have 952 00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,879 Speaker 1: in our team here at True Social is to open 953 00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,400 Speaker 1: the Internet back up so that the American people can 954 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:41,279 Speaker 1: get their voice back. So it's clear that Twitter is 955 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,760 Speaker 1: kind of a ghost town. Uh, they desperately need Elon 956 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,880 Speaker 1: Musk to be there. So you know, it's probably something 957 00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,160 Speaker 1: that Elon wants to do. I think he probably believes 958 00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,399 Speaker 1: in free speech like we do. But at the same time, 959 00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,120 Speaker 1: you know, there's not very much activity over at Twitter 960 00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,759 Speaker 1: right now, especially when you compare it to sites like ours, 961 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:02,000 Speaker 1: where we're just in are beginning stages. As we continue 962 00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,040 Speaker 1: to test and bring people on. Day by day, our 963 00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,719 Speaker 1: interactions are already beating Twitter, and so Ellen is gonna 964 00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,720 Speaker 1: have a lot of work to do there. Okay, Devon, 965 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,719 Speaker 1: enough enough porsh it out of your mouth. As we 966 00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,880 Speaker 1: watch that on Twitter, my man said they need a 967 00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:22,160 Speaker 1: they need a place writing as we watched the clip 968 00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:26,120 Speaker 1: off Twitter, that people need a place to get their 969 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,720 Speaker 1: voice back there. Think there is in nine hundred thousand 970 00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,240 Speaker 1: fucking ways for you to just say you're dumb ship already. 971 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:38,640 Speaker 1: But the ghost township a graveyard family. Okay, So we 972 00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,600 Speaker 1: talked about this even last week. Twitter has nearly two 973 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:45,399 Speaker 1: hundred twenty million active users. Okay, like that means they're 974 00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:49,600 Speaker 1: using the ship on all on your little site, five 975 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:54,640 Speaker 1: thousand active users. Funk out of here, Devon, it was 976 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:58,440 Speaker 1: pain fills? Are some of our interactions are eating Twitter? 977 00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,040 Speaker 1: What does that mean? And like that people are laughing 978 00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,560 Speaker 1: at you more than they laugh at Twitter. Right, what 979 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:05,960 Speaker 1: do you mean some of our interactions when they get 980 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,360 Speaker 1: on Twitter are beating interactions that originated on Twitter? Is 981 00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 1: what they say? Okay, you I don't think you're a 982 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:17,960 Speaker 1: digital native then what? Okay? So I just I just 983 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,000 Speaker 1: want to say there's the flatlining numbers. Apparently isn't the 984 00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,239 Speaker 1: end of it. Because the two people that were like 985 00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,040 Speaker 1: essential to the actual tech part, because that's always been 986 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 1: the thing with all these like conservative like tech startup things, 987 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,200 Speaker 1: like they just get some dude who worked in I 988 00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:33,800 Speaker 1: T who are like kind of build an app, and 989 00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 1: then it would fall apart because people don't have like 990 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,839 Speaker 1: the real functional know how. They had two people who 991 00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,680 Speaker 1: like had some what of a pedigree when it came 992 00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,880 Speaker 1: to tech, like certainly higher than the other attempts that 993 00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:47,520 Speaker 1: like trying to usurp Twitter or whatever. Those two people 994 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,959 Speaker 1: they just fucking resigned publicly. They're like, yo, we're sucking 995 00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:52,800 Speaker 1: off this ship, like they don't even want to have 996 00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:54,800 Speaker 1: anything to do with it. And those guys were maga 997 00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,359 Speaker 1: brained too, So I don't know where else they're gonna 998 00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:01,000 Speaker 1: find tech savvy people who are, as you know, committed 999 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,040 Speaker 1: to the white nationalism. I mean, I'm sure they're out there, 1000 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,520 Speaker 1: but in this sense, it looks like they had the 1001 00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:07,439 Speaker 1: cream of the crop and it didn't work out. Also, 1002 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,719 Speaker 1: fun fact I learned from meeting this Reuter's article about 1003 00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:13,160 Speaker 1: this the whole Trump media empire thing. It was pitched 1004 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:18,320 Speaker 1: to Trump by two former Apprentice contestants right after the insurrection. 1005 00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:25,160 Speaker 1: Yeah that's amazing. Yeah, this is Trump yet is Trump son, 1006 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,560 Speaker 1: but he hasn't barely used it. He says he'll use 1007 00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,920 Speaker 1: it when it's a hit. Yeah, because he knows what 1008 00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,359 Speaker 1: he's like. I'm not using this shit. You know, he's 1009 00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,560 Speaker 1: scrolling the throwing his burner Twitter right now. Right. It's 1010 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,440 Speaker 1: like when Lonzo Ball had to wear his own sneakers, 1011 00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,200 Speaker 1: you know what, when he's like, man, I wish these 1012 00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,480 Speaker 1: ships were Nike, but my dad made me start a 1013 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 1: fucking brand. So I guess I gotta wear these Triple 1014 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,799 Speaker 1: Bees on the court. And he won't even and Trump 1015 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:54,240 Speaker 1: won't even wear his Triple Big Baller brand sneakers onto 1016 00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:58,320 Speaker 1: the social media court. Come on, Donald, So I just 1017 00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:00,279 Speaker 1: love that it was two people who knew him from 1018 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,120 Speaker 1: The Apprentice who were like, Yo, we could scam this 1019 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,880 Speaker 1: motherfucker right now that he's like he's taking ls on 1020 00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:08,080 Speaker 1: social media, let's pitch him on a social media platform. 1021 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,680 Speaker 1: Kevin Newsome is just like eating Trump steaks right now, 1022 00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,480 Speaker 1: just like using all the Trump water, the Trump champagne 1023 00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,120 Speaker 1: and all that stuff.

They've I don't know, 1032 00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,640 Speaker 1: like Coca cola is its own thing. We know what 1033 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:54,319 Speaker 1: cola tastes like. That's like it's been its own fucking thing. Great, 1034 00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:58,719 Speaker 1: but they have been introducing more of these, like limited addition, 1035 00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,480 Speaker 1: fucking flame verse that I just do not understand anymore. 1036 00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:04,640 Speaker 1: It's one thing when they're like, yo, man, you want 1037 00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,080 Speaker 1: to do so much caffeine that like you could fucking 1038 00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,320 Speaker 1: do a long haul truck and trip and like fucking 1039 00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,360 Speaker 1: barely bad n eye. Then great sipped on this, but 1040 00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:16,240 Speaker 1: now they have shipped like last month they released Starlight Flavor, 1041 00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:20,240 Speaker 1: which is quote supposed to recreate the taste and feel 1042 00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:27,480 Speaker 1: of space. Now I'm not a astronomer, um, but I 1043 00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:33,360 Speaker 1: feel like I can't quite conceptualize what the taste of 1044 00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:39,200 Speaker 1: a the vacuum of space is. No, I'm just one 1045 00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:40,960 Speaker 1: of y'all can think of something.
