1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. Uh. These are some of our favorite segments 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: from this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment 4 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: last stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is 5 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: the Weekly Zeitgeist. Really, it's time to talk about the 6 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: thing that's so depressing. It's hard to talk about and 7 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: there's not much to say about it, but we're gonna 8 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 1: talk about it because it's happening. Uh. Children are being 9 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: torn away from their parents when they are coming to 10 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: the country, crossing the border, uh, seeking asylum. Uh. They 11 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: you know, the Trump administration earlier in the spring decided 12 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: that they were going to change the policy so that 13 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: going forward it was a zero tolerance policy and when 14 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: a family across the parents would be prosecuted, and in 15 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: the past they would be allowed to stay together, and 16 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: now they're being separated. Now they're treating it criminally, prosecuting 17 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,199 Speaker 1: parents who have kids at the border to basically then 18 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: exploit this sort of loophole that says children can't be 19 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: held in criminal attention, so then boom, they have to 20 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: separate them, right, And that's all pretty much just to 21 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: detour people and be as cruel as possible? What do 22 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: we do? I'm sorry, I can't hear about any of 23 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: them without feeling like, what is the action that can 24 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: be taken other than retweeting? You know what I mean? 25 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: Because it does feel like there's more and more things happen. 26 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: The question that maccomes what can we actually do in 27 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: a way that it feels like because the world is 28 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: obviously so much bigger, so much more separate, you know, 29 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: the way we you know, I don't know. It's like 30 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: this seems to be the first thing in a long 31 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: time that has rallied people kind of cohesively. You know. 32 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: The injury great? Great, So now we're all in the 33 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: same page now, So now what we're gonna do? Yeah? 34 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: Where do I take my pitch for exactly? I mean, 35 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: it's it's hard because on one side, do you think 36 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: that because of all this public pressure that our representatives 37 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: in government would do something about it? But when you look, 38 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: especially on the Republican side, there aren't many actual Republicans 39 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: that are in office who have said who have really 40 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: spoken up, or at least that are in office and 41 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: aren't retiring. Everybody who's who's not running for re election 42 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: got their chest out like there you know that they're 43 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: the new Martin Luther King. But every all the other Republicans, 44 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: even like Paul Ryan was like, oh, I don't like it, 45 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: but then was like, the courts have to decide. No, no, no, 46 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: no no no, you need the president can reverse this immediately, 47 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: like with a phone call with Lindsay Graham, a Republican said, 48 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: is that the president just needs to make a phone 49 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: call and they will stop tearing families apart and putting 50 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: children in custody. And one of the things that I 51 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: saw pointed out over the week and in an article 52 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: is that this does permanent damage. Like they've gone back 53 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: and looked at Japanese citizens who are put in internment 54 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: camps during World War Two and found that they are 55 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: like twice as likely to suffer from cardiovascular and you know, 56 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: heart disease, and just it's really bad. Died prematurely, died prematurely. 57 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: So it's just you know, having these stressful experiences where 58 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 1: you're thrown in prison for reasons that you don't really understand, 59 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: or you know, kept in a holding cell uh four children, 60 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: where the guards are specifically not allowed to touch you 61 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: or pick you up, even though you're like in diapers. 62 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: That's gonna that's gonna funk you up right. Well just 63 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: also yeah, like I'm you know, a group of children together, 64 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: all of whom are experiencing trauma. What it is to 65 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: just be around those kids a lot. You mean, even 66 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: if you say you went to your parents at the 67 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: end of a day, just that day is enough to 68 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: fund you, let alone the fact that then this is 69 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: where you are indefinitely with no explanation. I mean, guys, guys, 70 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: I need some pancakes up here here. I am struggle actually, 71 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: But it's also not just as you said, you know, 72 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: these immediate, uh quantifiable repercussions to the children and their parents. 73 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: But then also you know, I think America has told 74 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: the rest of the world for a very long time 75 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: we're better than you. You know, we're above you. And 76 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: you do something like this, and it's like you ain't 77 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: gotta like to stand on. You can't be coming up 78 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: in here trying to go to other brown countries telling 79 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: them how to heat because it's not not like me 80 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: from the beginning, right, but you thought we had we 81 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: were like, well look at us, you know, I mean, 82 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: we're the you know, the free world. Bitch ain't free. Yeah. No, 83 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: he took one from Mark Marin and he locked the gates. 84 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: Because what's really disheartening too, is that, like you say, 85 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: you would think that there would be enough people in 86 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: Congress to be like, okay, let's just introduce bill forget 87 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,679 Speaker 1: whatever is the funk is going on, because these people 88 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: are so their success or their ability to stay in 89 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: office is so tied to not upsetting Donald Trump or 90 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: that base, especially for Republican members of Congress, that it's 91 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: very hard for them to stick their neck out and 92 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: try and speak up. Uh. And when you look around 93 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: at a lot of the talking heads that have been 94 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: going around to defend this policy, all of these people 95 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: are speaking like they're describing like non human situations like 96 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: and there's there's no acknowledgment of these people's humanity. For example, 97 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: just I mean, let's get one of the hottest fire 98 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: takes I think I heard this weekend was Ann Coulter 99 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: who was then describing these children as actors. Uh. This 100 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: was when she was on Fox and even the day 101 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: like the Panels, she was on Fox, and when she 102 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: said that, they started being like, but listen, I mean, 103 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: just listen to this and I would also say one 104 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: other thing, these child actors weeping and crying on all 105 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: the other networks seven right now, UM, do not fall 106 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: for it, Mr President. Um. I get very nervous about 107 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: the president news from TV because I also have an 108 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: idea of I don't know if well New Yorker is 109 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: not publication. They just scribed. I told you we wouldn't 110 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: get away. These kids are being I'm so sorry, we 111 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: have to go. They're given scripts to read by liberals. 112 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: According to the New Yorker. Don't okay. They're being given 113 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: scripts for like what to say when they get to 114 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: a judge by themselves. Then can't speak English? Yes, right, 115 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: how to understand the process right exactly? Not okay? When 116 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: cameras show up, you cry and act like just act 117 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: like you've you've been ripped away from your family, and 118 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: then try and really drawn that that's that's your motivation 119 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: to get the funk out of here? To say that, 120 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: like that's if that's the mental gymnastics as some of 121 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: these people are doing. Like yes, I don't know, I 122 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: don't know what the funk needs to happen. Do these 123 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: people need to go see for themselves? I mean, I 124 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: doubt any of them have the stomach to do that 125 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: and then and then go on a show and be 126 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: like when these kids are actors. Uh, it's just it's 127 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: a it's it's just getting worse and worse, and it's 128 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: getting more frightened, especially with the rhetoric Trump has been 129 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: using to like trying to paint Germany is like this 130 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: country gone a muck and he's like these immigrants have 131 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: violently changed their culture. Like Yo, this is really really 132 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: really dark, dark language, shitty, Like the rhetoric is very 133 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: scary to me. And it's like we're approaching a very 134 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,679 Speaker 1: very crucial juncture I think to figure out like whether 135 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: it's the politicians or people are going to have I 136 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: don't know, are we gonna come together enough to demonstrate 137 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: to the representatives that this is unacceptable, that this is shameful? 138 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: Well what this could go down as a horrible period 139 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: in our history? Right, It's like, yeah, what is the 140 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: way you come together too? And sort of the action 141 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: because I don't know, I don't think protesting moves the 142 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: needle and like actually not the lever as a power 143 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: and the way we kind of hope it will. So 144 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: then what can happen because I think you're right, because 145 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: it's I mean, this is not this is not rhetoric anymore, right, 146 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: it's like the actions he's taking and it's so and 147 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: it's so rude in the fact that these are brown 148 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: children and how the moment you know, and I mean, look, 149 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: Trump came out the gate in wasn't saying all Mexicans, 150 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: you know what you know? I mean like so and 151 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: that's the same man. This is the extension of that 152 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: initial comments. I'm curious to know, like even for people 153 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: who are Trump supporters, what they would say to this, 154 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: because I know, you know, there's clearly that group of 155 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: people who voted for Trump who no matter what, they're 156 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: going to look at this and say it's fine. And 157 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 1: I'm sure there are other people who because as we've 158 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 1: seen and even I've met people who are like I 159 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: voted for Trump and I realized that was a mistake 160 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: because they were just on some just not Hillary type ship. 161 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: So yes, I'm curious to know if those people can 162 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: look at that, and you could if you engage them, 163 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: if they're going to say, yes, this is right or whatever, 164 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: like well, you know, their parents shouldn't have broken the law. 165 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: They should have thought about their kids before they took 166 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: him on this journey, this arduous journey they're trying to 167 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: they're trying to flee violence or abuse or whatever. This 168 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: isn't just because the WiFi is too slow and fucking 169 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: El Salvador or some ship there. This is for real. 170 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: These parents are not coming here for a vacation. And yes, 171 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: it's it's very tough to look at this, especially when 172 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: you look at sort of what the White House is 173 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: endgame is, because this is what they did with the 174 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: Dreamers is just dangled like literally holding these kids osages 175 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 1: now to get money for this wall. Well that's the idea, right, 176 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: is that their messaging is that the Democrats could make 177 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: all this stop. That's bullshit, that's bulls voted for like 178 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: fund his wall exactly. And if any and and anyone 179 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: who tells you that the Democrats can undo this ship, yo, 180 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: tell them to fucking go do three, not even one? 181 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: Like that is so disingenuous when people like when especially 182 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: when these talking heads pivot on that, we're like, well, 183 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: you know, the Democrats just blah blah blah. No, this 184 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: is your White House administration's policy. It's not the law. 185 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: And don't start using descriptions like oh, well, it's the law. 186 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: It isn't it's the policy that you've implemented, right, And 187 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: they're saying that they you could get them to stop 188 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: if you did this thing, which you know, they're not 189 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: even getting full cooperation, right because their bill is sort 190 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: of like, well, you've got two options, like basically that 191 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: not even close to some kind of a compromise. It's 192 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: just sort of like give me my all money, and 193 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: another one's like, okay, give me all money and then 194 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: maybe we'll allow some dreamers to become citizens, but also 195 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: we're not gonna let any like the options that are 196 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: on the table in terms of what the GOP is 197 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: offering are both they're just they're they're non starters. There's 198 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: nothing in there that is like any kind of compromise 199 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: that treats people who are trying to immigrate into this 200 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: country with dignity. Uh. And it's well, that's why it's 201 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: right when someone's like, especially now to try to come here. 202 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: You ain't come here for vacation. You're not like you 203 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: or desperate. You did, right, you know? And then I 204 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: just I wonder and I don't know if you guys 205 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: found out like are they keeping records of who which 206 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 1: oldren belong to itch adults. I'm like, very concerned. Even 207 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,599 Speaker 1: if any of this is resolved, it will not be 208 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: I mean, it seems like they must have a decent system, 209 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: because have you ever been to a d V No, 210 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I'm just saying that because 211 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: to even think of that on top to begin speculating 212 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: about you, how this can even be worse? No, no, no, 213 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: not at all. But to answer your question, a superproducer, 214 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: nixt Stump in my ear just told me that on 215 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: NPR there were people trying to ask that exact question 216 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: to like, do you have some kind of number system? 217 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, we tattoo the number on their risks. Oh, 218 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's a different thing. Uh. They basically said 219 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: that they no one could actually quite answer the question 220 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: on how any kind of reunification would work, or at 221 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: least how they were keeping tracking. Not to say that 222 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: there isn't thing, but who knows if they can't even 223 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: be like, oh, hi, I'm doing press about this thing, 224 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: and I can't even give you a talking point that 225 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: would make us look even worse here it's so disorganized. 226 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: The Secretary of Homeland Security says, we do not have 227 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: a policy of separating families at the border. Period. She 228 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: said that over the weekend. I think as Stephen Miller 229 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 1: was basically acknowledging that this is their policy, and he 230 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: also said period. So they both ended their sentences in 231 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: a declarative way, but they contradict one another. Uh. There's 232 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: also a report from the Boston Globe who got inside 233 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: one of these holding facilities for children and said that 234 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: the method they have for separating the children from their 235 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: parents because they got tired of like literally like pulling 236 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: the child who was like clinging to So what they 237 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: would do now is they tell them we need to 238 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: take your child to bathe them. Uh we you know, 239 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: just it'll be very quick. And then when they take 240 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: the child away a couple hours later, the person realizes 241 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: that they're not bringing the child back. So that's the 242 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: sort of ship they're doing. And I mean, it does 243 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: seem like public opinion is basically these Republican congress people 244 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: and the administration are the only people who think this 245 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: is cool, like because there's been a lot of you know, 246 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 1: like Laura Bush has something to say there forget who 247 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: it was somewhere from the CIA was likening it to 248 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: the Holocaust. I mean, there's definitely a lot of people 249 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: on the right who are very vocal in that they 250 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: don't approve of this and think it's shameful and immoral, 251 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: but they're not enough people who are actually have the 252 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: votes to do it or to actually put the sort 253 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: of legislative pressure on the president, because clearly public pressure 254 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: that means funk all to this administration. I mean we've 255 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: seen that time and again based on I mean, look, 256 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: Scott pruittt is still the head of the e p A. Um, Yeah, 257 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: and again, this is just they're they're using human lives 258 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: as bargaining chips in their legislative process because it's they 259 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: just want this, you know this there, he just wants 260 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: his wall because he overpromised on this thing and most 261 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: people don't want it. And if even listen, like Kelly 262 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: and on Way was on on the Sunday shows too 263 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: kind of doing the same thing, like half confirming that 264 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: it was a policy, but then also kind of half 265 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: admitting that maybe these people are being used as bargaining 266 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: to them. Just to sort of listening to this back 267 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: and forth, Um, is the president ready to make that 268 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: phone call to the Attorney General the DHS to stop 269 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: this policic. The President is ready to get meaningful immigration 270 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: reform across the board. And Chuck, let me just tell 271 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: you that nobody likes seeing babies ripped from their mother's arms, 272 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: from their mother's ROOMBS frankly, but we have to make 273 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: sure that DHSS laws are understood through the SoundBite culture 274 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: that we live in. There are three circumstances by which 275 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: DHS evaluates a child at the border. One is does 276 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: this child actually have a custodial or familiar relationship with 277 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: the adult? And number two is a child in any danger? 278 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: And plenty have been over time. Some adults are using 279 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: children to gain access to the border. Why use these 280 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: kids as lever? Well, I certainly don't anybody to use 281 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: these kids as leverage. I saw a headline that breath 282 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: will screamed as much and I object to that very forcefully. 283 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: Let me say this, these children that are in fairness. 284 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: By the way, it was a White House official that 285 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: told the washing thinking and the building is to force 286 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: people to the table. By the way, I want that 287 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: person to say it to my face, I really do. 288 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: I'll meet them at the White House today because I 289 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: think that's a disgrace that person to be fired. Should 290 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: that person be fired, that person should have the guts 291 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: to come forward and put their name to that quote. 292 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: Cool pivot to suddenly like pull, all right, should meet 293 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: me outside. The real problem with this is leaks. There's 294 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: too many. Yeah, yeah, that's that's what we need. And 295 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: do you see how she really like when she's like, well, 296 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: I don't think I certainly don't want to see these 297 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: people use the leverage, and he was like somebody at 298 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: the White House and they've been using leverage. And then 299 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: it was like, how tell me who? Yeah, it's a 300 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: face who told you that? It's not It's never a 301 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: good defense. It just makes you look guilty. Exactly. I 302 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: can't remember a time when just an outright evil was happening, 303 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: and you know, people just felt this hopeless as to like, 304 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: so what do you do? Do you call your congress person? 305 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: Do we done that? Start laying down in front of 306 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: the fucking busses as they bring children like away from 307 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: their parents, Like what do you what do you actually do? Like, 308 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: first of all, if Jeff Sessions and Steven Miller can 309 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: safely walk down the street after this like people should 310 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: be throwing something at them. I'll say paint and food, Uh, pies, pies, 311 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: Yeah they don't have or one of those pies from 312 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: the helps, Okay those that's fine. Yeah. And also it's 313 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: just on the policy front. It's worth noting that Trump 314 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: vetoed a bill that basically had all the ship that 315 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: he was asking for. It had money for the wall, 316 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: it had you know, the lottery thing that he's worried about. 317 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: But you know, he has Steven Miller running this thing, 318 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: and Stephen Miller is specifically just pushing it further and 319 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: further because he doesn't think that there should be any 320 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: immigrant like he wants to change it so that what 321 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: is currently legal for immigration is no longer legal and 322 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 1: that you basically have to marry into the country. That's 323 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: pretty I think that's a fantasy version. Yeah, you want 324 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: to be Mary American, but don't look at this place 325 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: as a bastion of freedom, but also marrying American, like 326 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: be Melania. Do you know what I mean? They're not 327 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 1: looking again, they don't want brown people, not from shiphole countries. No, 328 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? If you want to come 329 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: from nor but nobody want to come from Norway because 330 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: they got it together over there by the way. Norway 331 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: the one place that's been statistically proven. People know. I 332 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: like talking about the Flynn effect. The Flynn effect has 333 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 1: gone backwards. It's sliding back in Norway. Their kids today 334 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: are dumber than their kids twenty years ago. So uh, 335 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,719 Speaker 1: that that's who we want people from. Come on, Trump, 336 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: Norway sucks, am I right? Everyone we hate nor Way 337 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: on this podcast. I'm totally on board here. There is 338 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: a bill currently gathering support right in Congress. Yeah, Diane F. 339 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: Einstein has a bill in the Senate right now that 340 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: just needs just a little bit I think, like just 341 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,719 Speaker 1: one or two Republican votes. But they don't stop this practice. 342 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: It would end the practice. It's fully meant to stop this, 343 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: this ridiculous practice of of separating families, Like it would 344 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: just be like, no, this, this isn't going down like that. Um. 345 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: And there are people like Susan Collins who she was 346 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: even like, they're like, well, why don't what are you 347 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: trying to do? And she's like, oh, I support this 348 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: bipartisan thing and it's not it's not even close to 349 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: being humane. Um. And yes, if Paul Ryan actually cared 350 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: then he would introduce a similar bill in the House. 351 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: Uh that to Diane Feinstein's bill. But let's let's just 352 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: be real. Republicans literally don't care, not one of them. 353 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: That's why none of them are speaking out. That's why 354 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: everyone's got their heads low and trying to figure out 355 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: what to do. And these are the people who are 356 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: causing all of this chaos because they don't know whether 357 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: they if their loyalty is to this insane person who 358 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 1: is running who's the president, or to morality or what 359 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 1: the values used to be. But right, like now, it's 360 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: like so obvious that the Republican Party is about just 361 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: whatever Trump wants exactly, but also like just it's about 362 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: the wealthy having power and if you are not wealthy, 363 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: you are not a valuable person. And they like and 364 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: I feel like in a lot of ways we've seen 365 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 1: that now, right you can't pretend, you know, they rest 366 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: in the I was like, I think it's so funny 367 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: the way they'll like to like call back to me, 368 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: like we're the ones who freed the slaves. And it's 369 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: always like, okay, match, you can be claiming some stuff 370 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: from two hundred years ago, you know what I mean? 371 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: That's like me being like, Okay, I am very fit 372 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: because Harriet Tubman people through the underground railroad. I can 373 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: walk from mild and that's why, and that's why I'm 374 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: not paying for this amtract. Yeah, I mean yeah, it's 375 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: like pulling up in an old eighties Mercedes and being like, yeah, 376 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 1: I was doing good. So yeah, and yes, there are 377 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,479 Speaker 1: people like Lindsay Graham who are vocal about saying this 378 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: isn't right, and I'll talk to the president. But you 379 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: know that that's just words I'm not seeing you see 380 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: supporting the bill in the Senate. Lindsay Graham is not 381 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: supporting the fine stand build. There's no no Republicans are. 382 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 1: Every Senate Democrat is a co sponsor to Billy and 383 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: so basically he's just giving a quote about the optics 384 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: and don't and don't get it twisted because this bill 385 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: that the House will be voting on this week, I 386 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: think they're gonna be voting on it this week. That's 387 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: just for optics too. For those Republicans to be like, 388 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: well we tried. The Democrats just didn't want to do 389 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 1: anything about it, and that's that's not what this is. 390 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: So again they're just trying to set up the just 391 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: all the optics for this to be like, well they tried. 392 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: Democrats are obstructionists, but you know, please arm yourself with 393 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: the fact about what is the House bill that they're 394 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: trying to pass. What's that going to be? Like why 395 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: is that not a nonstarter? Because it's basically just the 396 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 1: lottery with be ended your ability to bring family members 397 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: over or what they liked called chain migration, which is 398 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: a shitty way to describe it. They want to end 399 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: that completely. It's basically just the most drekkonian version of 400 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: immigration reform with really no concessions to what to what 401 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: progressives want, and it would just free these children children, right. Well, 402 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: then there's other things that were like oh, well you 403 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: know that, like you know, we're addressing the family separation thing, 404 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: but like really on a technicality, it does not actually 405 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: end that practice. It just sort of allows them to indefinitely, 406 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: uh whole detain like immigrant families. It's it's the whole 407 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 1: thing is just a show. And so that's why people 408 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: like on the leadership on the Democrats side of like, 409 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 1: you know, do not vote for this, like this is 410 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: not this, this is this is an empty gesture from 411 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: them to try and I don't know, make it look 412 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: like they're doing something for the mid terms. Right, Alright, 413 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: So Miles, what will post the link to where people 414 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 1: can find out like specifically actions to take? Yeah, there are, 415 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: but again, I know what you just sort of speak 416 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: to the hopelessness that nobody's talking about it. It almost 417 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: feels like how many times can I leave a voicemail? 418 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: How many times can I speak to some person that is, 419 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: uh like, is running the office of a senator or 420 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: congress person. How much money can I give to the 421 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: A C L You before you're kind of like, You're like, 422 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: but this isn't doing the thing, And that's sort of 423 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: what's good is that people are getting in touch with 424 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: the frustration of being like, well, how the fuck is 425 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: anything going to change? And yeah, I think you know, 426 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: as this sort of practice continues, you'll see more things 427 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: like they're in Texas, there were marches for people going 428 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: to these immigration centers to try and to you know, 429 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: demand that they end this policy. That there are there 430 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: are actions to get into physical space. But again, also 431 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: the thing to think about two, at the very least, 432 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: you must fucking vote in November. You have to vote 433 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: and if this, if this really is an issue to you, 434 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: talk to the people that you are thinking about voting 435 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: for and try and understand where they're coming from on 436 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: this on this issue, because I'm telling you a lot 437 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: of moderates will also be like, well, I don't know. 438 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: And see, those are the people to who are actually 439 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: making this situation worse because they're so worried about the 440 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: voting demographics in their district. They can't just stand on 441 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: on something that is so objectively right and wrong and 442 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 1: just be like, no, this is bullshit. I don't care 443 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: if they're they're like my district went red or whatever. 444 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: People have to really begin advocating for just human beings 445 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: and what the country just stands for. And yeah, uh, 446 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna go to a quick break and we'll be 447 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: right back after this. And we're back, all right, let's 448 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 1: talk about what's going on today. Over the weekend, Tesla 449 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 1: was trending for the wrong reasons. I would say, um, now, 450 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: so a bit of bad luck. One of their cars 451 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 1: started shooting flames out of the bottom. Uh, not intentionally, 452 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: it's electric car, I know, it's I mean not that 453 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: I'm using my no science brand that's impossible. But it 454 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: also happened to be the car of the actress Mary McCormick, 455 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: who you know from Private Parts and West Twing, and 456 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: it was it was her husband's car and nobody was hurt. 457 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: But then, you know, there was a great photograph of 458 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: the car with just flames firing out of the wheel 459 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: wells to the point that it almost looked like something 460 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 1: that would be like dope to like, but it was 461 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: not back to the futuring. It was just accidentally catching 462 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: on fire, and it just seems like Tesla. I felt 463 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: like this was as good a time as any to 464 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: bring up the fact that Tesla is just kind of 465 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: in this run of bad news with Elon Musk just 466 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: being an asshole. He laid off a bunch of people 467 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 1: recently because he overpromised on his like production goals. He 468 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: had an earnings call where he just like talked ship 469 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: openly to people for asking like straightforward questions about the 470 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: you know, goals, and you know, he was like, your 471 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: questions are bone headed, and it's like, okay, bone headed, okay, okay. 472 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: Bonk from Turbographs seriously, uh. He claimed that he does 473 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: not promote unsafe working conditions. In his factory by under 474 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: reporting serious injuries, even though that actually was reported by 475 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:41,479 Speaker 1: the reveal. There a Peabody winning journalism outfit, and you know, 476 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: super widely respected, and so not only did he just 477 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 1: throw away their complaint and just you know, scoff at them, 478 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: but now he has decided he's going to distrust the 479 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: media and call all the media liars. And he was like, 480 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 1: I'm going to start a site where we rate media 481 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: outlets for like trustworthiness. You know, wasn't he gonna call 482 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: it Pravda or something? And they're like, we already got that, yeah, 483 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 1: But he just like it's, you know, a guy who's 484 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: really good at one thing thinking that he should run everything, 485 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: you know, like people have just blown so much smoke 486 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: up his ass about like how cool this one product 487 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: he made. Is that now he thinks that he should 488 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: run the media would take his fucking Twitter away, right, 489 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: he like all of them. But also you said he's 490 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: good at one thing, but like, is he that good 491 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: at that one thing? I mean I think so. I 492 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: mean his companies are doing well. I mean like SpaceX 493 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: I think is to me more interesting than Tesla for sure, 494 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: And like it's weird because he modulates between like having 495 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: good ideas or trying to do good things and then 496 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: also just sort of being this like profitiered sort of dude. Yeah, 497 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 1: and I think he is maybe good at more than 498 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: one thing, but like he's clearly a smart guy, but 499 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: like he's letting what he's good at just like make 500 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: him a complete asshole and all other things. And like 501 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: one of the journalism outlets that he he was like, 502 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: all right, so, actually, here's some good journalism that like 503 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: has excellent analysis that people should check out, and Slate 504 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: pointed out that it's a outlet that is tied to 505 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 1: a cult, so like it's like, I think he's just 506 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 1: like assuming he's an expert on some ship that he's 507 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: just never paid any attention to and just doesn't know 508 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: what the funk he's talking about. Newsletter. Yes, and he's 509 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: also dating Grimes, which is a weird like that there's 510 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 1: nothing wrong with dating Grimes to objectively, but for some 511 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: reason this relationship just nobody's a fan of it. I 512 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: think it's I don't know why. It makes me dislike 513 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: both of them so much more. But I've never seen 514 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: a relationship like a celebrity relationship where I was just like, well, 515 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 1: now I don't like either of you. Well you didn't 516 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: like Tom Green and Bart Drew Barrymore. No, I loved 517 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: shipped them so hard, man. Yeah I wanted them to 518 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: last forever. Yeah, but we all did. We were pouring 519 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 1: for them. But yeah, I don't know. I don't know 520 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: what it is. Maybe it's because it suggests that he 521 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: thinks he's cool or like he's trying to be gives 522 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: him a cool factor. But then it also makes heart 523 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: because wasn't it And let the internet tell us how 524 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: it started with some like she got some joke about 525 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 1: AI and he was like, no one has ever gotten that. 526 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: So it seems to me like that that whole dynamic 527 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: is very like I'm the smart one. And then after 528 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: it like I'm changing my name to a lower case 529 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: C to stand for the speed of light and you're like, okay, ma, 530 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: thank you. I meant you know, like I think before 531 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: all the Elon musk stands come for us, like I look, 532 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: I get his contributions are they're great and you can't 533 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: take that away from them. But also now for him 534 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: as being like the front facing person these companies, isn't 535 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: working out that great because he was doing his like 536 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: who you think controls of the media, like little anti 537 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: semitic dog whistling on Twitter, and then like yesterday he 538 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: was like trying to be like socialists are so boring. 539 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: Uh he said those who those who proclaimed themselves socialists 540 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: are usually depressing, have no sense of humor, and attend 541 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,239 Speaker 1: and attended an expensive college. Fate loves irony. And then 542 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: later on he's like, by the way, I'm actually socialists. 543 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: There's all the kind of shifts resources from the most 544 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,479 Speaker 1: productive to the least productive. So I'm like, okay, so 545 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: you see socialism as a zero sum game too, Okay? Yeah. 546 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: Do you think he like it was intentionally being I 547 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: don't know if he was just he was it wasn't 548 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: He's just not He doesn't he doesn't understand how nuanced 549 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: that could be. And he's just picking up the dog 550 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: whistle and like blowing on and being like this doesn't 551 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: making anything. Yeah you guys serious, Yeah, there's nothing there. 552 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, because yeah, didn't you say that, Like white 553 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: supremacists were Yeah, then they were like hopping on that 554 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: thread and they're like exactly, dude, this is the thing 555 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: they're like. And I think that's when other people were 556 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: in the third They're like, yo, my man, look what 557 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: you just did.

Uh. 562 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: Starting off with a few stories, Yes, to start off 563 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: the World Cup day. First, I want to talk about 564 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: some of the results this morning. Portugal proved that they 565 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: are a one man team and overly reliant on Christiano Ronaldo, 566 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: because were it not for his contributions, I don't think 567 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: the team would be capable of doing much. Has he 568 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: scored all their goals so far? Yes, he has. He 569 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: scored three in the first game and then one today. Ye. 570 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: Shout out to him, he's got four goals. At the 571 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: same time, the way they played against Morocco was very 572 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: uninspired to say the least. Uh, and Morocco deserved to 573 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: win that game, but sadly they lost, and so that 574 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: will be their last match. They've crashed out of the tournament. 575 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: But shoutouts to Morocco. But in more important news, I've 576 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: just been looking at sort of what's been going down 577 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: for the fans out there in Russia right now, And 578 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: apparently the new report is that just Russia in general, 579 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: they are running out of beer because the Sager fans 580 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: are too turned the funk up and they're drinking the 581 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: fucking They basically are drinking Moscow dry. They cannot keep 582 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: up with the demand for the beer that these fans have. 583 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: I know, in some parts of the country, the Aussies, 584 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: the Sucker Roo fans, Yeah, they basically drank like an 585 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: entire city dry with tapped every keg of beer that 586 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: was available, drink all the beer. The Swedes also did 587 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: the same in another city because they were celebrating like 588 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: their first World Cup win in like fourteen years or 589 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: something like that, So it was basically it's a very 590 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: celebratory thing. But I still do not know how you 591 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: let this happen, because this is not anticipate.

Now onto more problematic things.

We've delayed the viewing of that so 637 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: Anna and I can scream at the TV together. All right, 638 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 1: that's crazy that Morocco is as good as they are. 639 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: They have, they've got some good players. They have a 640 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: lot of population of one of our US states, right, 641 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: and they are Well that's because the US does not 642 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: invest in getting everyone to play soccer. It's it's not 643 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: as easily available to everybody as it is in other countries. 644 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 1: There is a white civil rights rally coming up in 645 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: August twelve.

Yeah. So, 648 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 1: the man behind the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville 649 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: last year just had had his application approved to have 650 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: a white civil rights rally in Lafiat Square in DC 651 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 1: on August twelve, on the anniversary of the Charlottesville rally. 652 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: So his application has been approved, but the permit has 653 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: not been issued technically yet. So there's still a process 654 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,280 Speaker 1: for that where they need to get more details. Hopefully 655 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: at that point they will realize who the fuck is 656 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: behind this and they'll be like oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 657 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: we don't need this. Uh y'all can do that just 658 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 1: in private somewhere in the field. But yeah, so I'm 659 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: you know, I think there there may be some possible 660 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 1: public pressure on the Parks Department out there to to 661 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: sort of reconsider issuing a permit for that, considering what 662 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: that man had to say about Heather Higher. Yeah. What's 663 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: this guy's name. It's Kessler, right, Yeah, Jason Kessler. Surprise 664 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: a German last name. Yeah. Hey, not that there's anything 665 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 1: wrong with German people, it's just that they happen to 666 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: have a very strange history. He said about Heather Hair, 667 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 1: the young woman who was killed by the alright dude 668 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: driving a car to her in a crowd of other 669 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: resistance people. Kessler said Heather Hair was a fat disgusting communists. 670 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,879 Speaker 1: Communists have killed four million. Looks like it was paid 671 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: back time. I mean, I think that alone should pretty 672 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,760 Speaker 1: much be the answer to his permit, right there be like, oh, revoked, 673 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 1: my guy, So take that somewhere else. I know he's 674 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 1: also suing the city of Charlottesville to have another rally 675 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: there too, Um, but I can't imagine that they're gonna 676 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,280 Speaker 1: we're all in America. I mean, his thing was approved 677 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: probably like years ago. Yeah, I mean, but the man 678 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,799 Speaker 1: with the optics around last year though, I remember if 679 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: I'm sure this white rally thing was stamped in perpetuity.

I mean, I'm pretty low brows. 797 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you shouldn't listen to but I wasn't, Like, 798 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,479 Speaker 1: you know, blue Hill at Stone Barns is in here 799 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 1: and also an excellent restaurant. I just I think I 800 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 1: need to know more about what their criteria. Yeah, exactly. 801 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 1: El Bulli was one of the best restaurants for so 802 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 1: long in Spain, and I just went to their new 803 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 1: restaurant Tickets, which is in Barcelona, and that's on there. 804 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,279 Speaker 1: It was. It was indeed fantastic because it was like 805 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,160 Speaker 1: a circus of food. Really, because it's only thirty on 806 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 1: this list, I'm surprised that that impressed you. Just behind 807 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,239 Speaker 1: I thought, well, I thought Tickets was way better than 808 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,160 Speaker 1: than Bluehill at Stone Barns. Okay, so we need to 809 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,560 Speaker 1: we need to do some investigating who these people. Yeah, 810 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,279 Speaker 1: I feel like also there's this sort of thing where 811 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,440 Speaker 1: these are like a whole type of experience, where it 812 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,439 Speaker 1: is an experience that's going to these restaurants, like there's 813 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,440 Speaker 1: like all these people waiting on you, and it's just like, 814 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. There are also really good restaurants that 815 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 1: are like hole in the wall tuck areas and which 816 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 1: I think are the best restaurants is the Hole in 817 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,319 Speaker 1: the Wall Ta area. It's more of a surprise too, 818 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 1: when you're like, oh my god, I'm having religious experience 819 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 1: in this shipping container, right, yeah, well, and my thing. 820 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 1: And you know, I was a travel writer for a 821 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 1: long time too, and people were like, how do you 822 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:45,759 Speaker 1: find great restaurants? Do you look at these lists? And 823 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, fuck, no.

And so I stopped paying it to tend 828 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 1: to these silly lists. Yeah, I feel like the Hole 829 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 1: in the wall. Takorea's marketing teams tend to be less 830 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 1: sophisticated than uh, you know, these crazy table progress exactly. 831 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:18,480 Speaker 1: It's time for an update on the summer of Scott guys. 832 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,440 Speaker 1: Our favorite kleptocrat is back at it.
