If I if I had just 9 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: been like ninety eight seventy two, like fantastic, Uh, fantastique. 10 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: We are here to tell the people what is trending up. First, 11 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: we have Twitter Executive Order Social Media Executive Order. The 12 00:00:53,920 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: President has asked to speak to the manager of the Internet. Um, 13 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: he is, he is going to. Uh. He does not 14 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: like the complaints and the little boo, the little negative 15 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: feedback he's getting on on social media, so he wants 16 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: to be able to censure them. Yeah, to have that 17 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: tag on a tweet that said this could be dubious, Uh, 18 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: this information might be a lie. And that whole Twitter 19 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: fiasco has now turned into executive orders that push the 20 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: bounds of what we even know is legal for starters. Um, 21 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: so I mean that's a huge First Amendment issue. And 22 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: but essentially what it's doing is it's allowing Trump to 23 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: sick law enforcement on tech companies that are getting are 24 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: against his agenda essentially, or at least not allowing him 25 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: to just broadcast unfiltered nonsense through their platforms. Right. Yeah, 26 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: it seems like the latter is more more accurate that 27 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: he's just you know, there he's abusing their platforms. He's 28 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: uh violating their terms of service in a lot of cases, 29 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: and he's gotten away with it for a long time 30 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: because he's the president and one of the most popular accounts, 31 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: and you know, they've they've moved everything so far to 32 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: the right that uh, you know, just pointing out like 33 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: that something is hate speech is considered anti your Antifa 34 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: right exactly. Um, Minnesota Freedom Fund is trending. Uh, everybody 35 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: should go donate. Yeah, it's it's amazing. Yeah, a lot 36 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: of people this has taken off, and a lot of 37 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: credit to you know, celebrities using their huge followings to 38 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: at least draw attention. I think a lot of people 39 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: want to figure out how to be do better or 40 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: contribute uh to doing something good for anyone in Minneapolis 41 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: dealing with this, and yeah, that fund has helped to 42 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: get people um to bail them out. But hey, look, 43 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: if you listen to other people in their net, it 44 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: could be some weird anti fund, you like super weapons 45 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: fund or something. It's really the takes on everything hanging 46 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: out in Minneapolis are so truly shows you how upside 47 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: down perspectives are in this country. Like it's people actually 48 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: can just say the opposite and they're like, yeah, that's 49 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: what's true to me, because that's that's what I need 50 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: to believe. Right. Another thing that's trending is George Soros. Uh, 51 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: exactly related, Candace Owens is saying that, you know, George 52 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: Soros is behind the protests in Minneapolis, or rather, she 53 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised, not fully. You know, you know how 54 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: they gotta they gotta dog scream or dog whistle or 55 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: whatever it's called these days with their anti semitism. But yeah, 56 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: there is just sort of like yeah, you know, just 57 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: like with anti Fut's got his like goon squad. I 58 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: don't understand. Uh. And of course the entire right wing 59 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: take machine is now like screaming about George Soros. That's 60 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: that's wild at least it's not dangerous at all and 61 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: not a precedent that led somebody to send out a 62 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: bunch of bombs a couple of years ago. No, not 63 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: at all, or go to a synagogue and murder people either. 64 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: It's just the you know, this is the this is 65 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: the tone that people are are are operating in, and 66 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: it's someone on Twitter was saying like it's it was 67 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: sort of positing the question. It's like, you know, George 68 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: Soros is old, and when he passes away, like, who 69 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: is the right going to then make their new Jewish 70 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: boogeyman who controls the strings of the oppressed brown people 71 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: in American narrative because you know they're they that character 72 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: has to exist in their reality for people to like 73 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: make sense of of outrage. It's like, oh no, no no, 74 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: don't worry. These people aren't upset because they're being murdered 75 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: and they feel absolutely dehumanized by our system there there 76 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: because George Soros caught him a check, don't worry. It's 77 00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: like really goofy stuff. Yeah, I mean Bill Gates has 78 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: some of that energy, but he does not fit the uh, 79 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: the anti Semitism agenda. So yeah, it's it'll be interesting 80 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: to see who they go with. Um there there's probably 81 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: a meeting happening somewhere right now. Shout out to Henry Ford, 82 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: who put published the Protocols of the Elders of Zion 83 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: anti Semitic track tracked across like two years in his 84 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: uh weird newspaper UM in the early twentieth century. That 85 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: that's what happens when you have somebody, when you have 86 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,119 Speaker 1: a country where somebody who has a lot of money 87 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: can just have all the power to tell people whatever 88 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: they want. There's also a really interesting article in BuzzFeed 89 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: that kind of goes back on the origins of this 90 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: George Soros as boogeyman narrative and it was actually created 91 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: by two Jewish American political consultants, uh like helping craft 92 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: this sort of like like George Soros as boogeyman. Yeah, 93 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 1: the the degree to which their racism is calculated and 94 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: cynical is pretty wild. Like the the UM reporting about 95 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: Trump deciding to call COVID nineteen the China disease or 96 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: the China flu or whatever China virus, that was a 97 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: calculated move to distract and you know, create a to 98 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: politicize what what was a pretty straightforward. Uh, you know, 99 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: funk up and disaster on his part. Um. Yeah, So anyways, 100 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: Minnesota Freedom Fund is the is the thing to take 101 00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: away from from that subject as of right now. Um, 102 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: John Krasinski is trending getting he is. He caught some 103 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: little backlash because he sold that YouTube channel, the brand 104 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: name Some Good News to CBS Viacom for millions and 105 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: millions of dollars. Uh, and that will go all that 106 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: money he's actually donating to essential workers who have been 107 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: affected by a COVID nineteen. Oh no, that's a joke 108 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: really because it's purely all for him. That would have 109 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: been some good news. Yeah, that would have been that 110 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: would have been some good news. Uh. He is, Uh, 111 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: he's not going to be hosting it anymore. And that 112 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: that's like the thing that people have latched onto. They're like, well, 113 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: people are mad. Uh it must be because he's not 114 00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: hosting it anymore. Um and yeah, I who gives a 115 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: ship looking at a guy who found like was just 116 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: clearly exploiting the situation. I don't think there was I 117 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: don't think there was ever he I think his intent 118 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: was like I could do this and eventually this is 119 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: like this is good, I P I can sell like 120 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: an option to somebody, and that's what he did. I mean, 121 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: that's just how people think in show business, Like you 122 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: have a brand if you come up with some intellectual property, 123 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: hopefully someone bigger than you was like, I like that 124 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: for me? Can I buy that? Here you go and 125 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: then you move on. Yeah, we've talked before also about 126 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: how I mean, there's some pretty straightforward problematic stuff that 127 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:45,239 Speaker 1: he's associated with, like Thirteenth Hour, the Untold Story of Benghazi. 128 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: He started that. I don't know if that's the exact name, 129 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: but it's something to that effect, where he, you know, 130 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: start in a sort of right leaning interpretation of the 131 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: events of Benghazi. Jack Ryan, the Jack Ryan Show that 132 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: he stars in on Amazon Prime has some very you 133 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: know the c I A are the good guys and 134 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: us just turning into shitty Harrison Ford, right, But he 135 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: you know, there's also he wrote and directed A Quiet Place, 136 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: and people have done some sort of textual and symbolic 137 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: analysis of that movie. Uh, and there's nothing overtly problematic there, 138 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: but there is some like it's a story about a 139 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: white family who has to be very quiet, less like 140 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: these brown creatures like common attack them, and people have 141 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: read that as being uh sort of a meditation on 142 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: white fragility, basically like the white fragility horror movie. Um, 143 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: so yeah, it'll be interesting to see what where his 144 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: career goes. But um, let's we'll keep our eye on that, John, 145 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: because it's what happens. Um. Denzel Washington is also trending. 146 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: He saw two police officers trying to arrest Slash having 147 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: a confrontation with a unhused person and uh stopped his car, 148 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: got out and sort of helped mediate it so that 149 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: it uh ended up being peaceful but kind of just 150 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: a an amazing sort of act. And you know, the 151 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: sort of thing you were talking about about, like putting 152 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: your money where your mouth is in terms of I 153 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: just think also, you know, especially right now though, being 154 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 1: black in this country has a very specific sensation, and 155 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: I think I think a lot to people if they 156 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: saw something like that happening, would want to get out 157 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: of their car and maybe try and intervene, because again, 158 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: we know what happens in these interactions. And I I 159 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: love that Denzel did this, and I hate that he 160 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: had to do this because normally you could just see 161 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: law enforcements say, no, there they they might just be 162 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: enforcing the law. They this is, they're doing their job. 163 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: But right now you see officers talking to a black man, 164 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: and your heart will start racing. My voice is shaking 165 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: right now, because I honestly feel like if I saw that, 166 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 1: I would also be I would be like, I can't. 167 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: I don't even want to know.
