I just like how I was off the 59 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: internet for two days because I was at a wedding, 60 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: and then I come back to why are people calling 61 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: Nancy Reagan the throat Goat? And I'm like, what the 62 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: fuck is happening. I turned my back on the computer 63 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: for fucking forty eight hours, and I woke up and 64 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: saw my phone and like, I was like, why are 65 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: people talking about Nancy Reagan? And I literally shouted to 66 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: my fiance to like in the other room. I was like, 67 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: why are people tweeting about Nancy Reagan? And he just 68 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: started laughing so loudly. Wait what Wait? What did happen? Though? 69 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: I just know that she was being talked about, and 70 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: I just saw a throat goat and I said, I 71 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: don't have time. So Ben Shapiro's sister tweeted about like 72 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: something to the event. She put a picture of Madonna 73 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: at sixty eight next to a picture of Nancy Reagan 74 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 1: at six and was like, Madonnas a piece of trash. 75 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: This is like what conservativism is all about. And then 76 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: somebody replied and was like, oh, you should check out 77 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: this Kitty Kelly biography of Nancy Reagan Na Davis and 78 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: how her she had made a name for herself for 79 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: giving really good blow jobs on the MGM lot, Like 80 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: that was that was her kind of calling card for 81 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: a while before before Ronnie. And I think that's like 82 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: implied that that's how she met him because he was 83 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: an actor on the m JAM lot. Right. Yeah, it's 84 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: like it's a wonderful meat cute. Yeah, and look at them, Taylor, 85 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: as old as time and then you completely destroy the 86 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:23,559 Speaker 1: eighties just a fabric of American society. Yeah, exactly, Ali, 87 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: you are first rate guest on our second rate podcast. 88 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: How's it going with the with the Morning Show? That's 89 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: the that's the show's golden globe today, Jesus, No big deal, 90 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: No big deal. Although I feel like the Golden globes, 91 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: I feel like there's like controversy surrounding them now. But 92 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: we dig a nominated, which was cool. Season two was 93 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: all out now yeah, and super fun to have to 94 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: have written for. I mean, we've shotted during COVID, so 95 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: I was not on set the way I was for 96 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: season one, everyone having an iPad to watch about. But 97 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's very very fun season and I think 98 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: they're just figuring out season three now. Cool, very cool. Yeah, Okay, 99 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: we are Team Golden Globes here in this household. My 100 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 1: mom's on the board and full disclosure, and I've honestly 101 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: to be honest, like I've watching the coverage of it. 102 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: I think it's really interesting because in a way, I 103 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: feel like the industry has found a way to escapegoat 104 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: a group of foreign journalists by saying, like, where are 105 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: the black journalists in this group? Where the qualifications to 106 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: be in the h f p A s you you're 107 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: published in a foreign country and you also live in 108 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: the United States. So there are like many I think 109 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: diverse journalists in like like in many countries that you know, 110 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: they that are writing about film, but this, but the 111 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: qualifications to be in the h f p A is 112 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: then from Okay, are you foreign published and you're living 113 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: in the United States. I think that shrinks the universe 114 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: down well, also like disregarding like many members who like 115 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: my mother who's from Japan and or others from like 116 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: South America. And second, where's the diversity here? I like 117 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: this very American lens, and I do think that they 118 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: really should be helping to facilitate more journalists to say, 119 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: for example, be like I would love to do that, 120 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: but it's just impossible for me to move to the 121 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: United States, get a visa, to have a job, to 122 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: stay here for a long time, that you can have 123 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: an endowment to like actually do that. But then I 124 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: feel like we've completely avoided a much larger investigation or 125 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: examination of the industry. The PETE, like the publicist machinery 126 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: that we have, how they protect the lack of diversity overall, 127 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: like that exists within the industry. So yes, while it 128 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: is I think on paper looks one way. I think 129 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: a lot of the coverage has stripped a lot of 130 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: the nuance, just generally on how the industry as a 131 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: whole could be improved without just saying like, hey man, 132 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: the golden globes, huh. Anyway, don't look at our c suites, 133 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: don't look at the people in development positions, don't look 134 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: at the people who are directing, you know. And I 135 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: think that's where I get a little emotional. But other 136 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: than that, grets So I think, well deserved, Oh well, 137 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: thank you. I do agree with you like award though, yeah, 138 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: well we're thrilled, But I think that you are right 139 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: where it's like there it's easy to hold up the 140 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: golden globes. It's like, look at what this is bad. 141 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: This is bad, but we can still go to the Oscars, 142 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: the EMM these are cool. Like there is this issue 143 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: where it's like there isn't one award show that is 144 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: particularly good at analyzing diversity in Hollywood and actually getting 145 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: to the crux of the issue. And a lot of 146 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: times these studios use the award shows to celebrate their 147 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: commitment to diversity. And at the same time, these are 148 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: the same studios that are treating their assistance like crap 149 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: under painting people making sure budgets are as low as possible, 150 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: so the people who are less, who have the least 151 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: protection fundset, get the worst treatments, the worst hours that 152 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: were salary. Like, there's so many deep issues of diversity 153 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: that the studios actually need to confront and instead a 154 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: lot of times they'll use an award show to have 155 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: a very performative celebration of diversity in terms of talent. 156 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: But there are so many deeper issues that need to 157 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: be analyzed. So I do think that the sort of 158 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: filification of the Golden Clobes is I don't know, it's 159 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: definitely not Ye that's a little pet Yeah, And I think, 160 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: but it's it's like anything, right, even in politics, there's 161 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: always the sort of revolving door, the villain du jour 162 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: that sort of helps stop the conversation about going further 163 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: to have a real reckoning, Like it's so easy to 164 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: just blame Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinema a lack of 165 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: the infrastructure moves, but that now allows the conversation to 166 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: only be about that and not like much larger layers 167 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: of control and influence that really need to be assessed. 168 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: All that to say, great, what a day.

Like I was thinking about rain in l 361 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: A and how everyone plans about the rain and how 362 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: the rain is like my favorite thing, and then I, 363 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: you know, then I had this moment yesterday that I 364 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: really cherished, which was when I went to the bathroom 365 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: at a restaurant and I came back and my food 366 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 1: was there, and I was like, is there a better 367 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: feeling in the world best, especially like sometimes you you'll 368 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: go to the bathroom hoping that that's what's going to happen. 369 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: You're like, oh, man, I thought it would be here 370 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: fun and I'm just gonna go to the bathroom and 371 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: maybe that will be the Yeah, like you're maybe can 372 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: sort of catalyze the delivery by going to trying of 373 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: like will it into the universe by lady to come 374 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 1: back it's not there, and you're like, actually, sorry, I 375 00:20:53,280 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: forgot to. I guess I forgot. Rain in l A 376 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: is like a phenomenon that like I was not aware 377 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: of until I started living out here. But the air 378 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: is because it's usually so dry. The air is like 379 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: thick with dust and smug and but it's like a 380 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 1: lot of you know, just everything is is dusty. The 381 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: reason that like you know, road cruise need a truck 382 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: out there to like spray down the dust so that 383 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: it's you know, there's just no water, so the dust 384 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: is like hanging in the air. And then like you 385 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: don't realize that like everything is like being like you're 386 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: you're seeing everything through like a a screen of haze. 387 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: And then it rains and like the air is like 388 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: cleaned out of all of that, and it's like suddenly 389 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: like five times prettier, and you're like, what have I 390 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: been inhaling?

It really is, like it's like that 409 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: sip of water in the middle of a hangover, like 410 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 1: in the middle of a yeah, and like that's how 411 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: the sit, like the plants react like oh fucking thank God. 412 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 1: So I do, like in some weird way, I feel 413 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: the same. I'm like, oh, yeah, it's good because the 414 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: earth needs this right now. It's like the Mad Max 415 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 1: scene when he releases the water Fawcett and and like 416 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: I just like, thanks, thank heavens. Yeah, yeah, all right, 417 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll come back and 418 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: talk about rand Paul. Unfortunately, and we're back, and just 419 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: a horrifying weekend in Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, and Tennessee, 420 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: particularly Kentucky. Eighty people I think, I mean eighty people total. 421 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: I think I think about sixty four in Kentucky at 422 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: the moment. Yeah, we're we're killed in sixty four in 423 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: Kentucky and uh yeah, just horrifying that devastation. And yeah, 424 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. It's just another reminder that 425 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: we need help. We need a safety system there in 426 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: place to help people and you know, combat pollution. You 427 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: know what do that part two? And yeah, I'm bringing 428 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: up rand Paul because the you know, he he he 429 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: wrote this letter to Joe Biden that's like demanding like 430 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: disaster relief for the state, as if he's like Trump, 431 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: you know, like because as if Joe Biden's like, would 432 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: you just sweep up all your tornado causing leaves or 433 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: like whatever, you know, Trump would like condition aid on, 434 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: like did you vote for this? Well, then maybe you're 435 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: not a human who has been in a disaster. So 436 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: the way he wrote his quote last night and early 437 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: this morning, devastating storm swept across multiple states, including kidsucking, 438 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 1: just sort of goes on, not really asking for the relief, 439 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: but merely like demanding is like I'm urgently, you know, 440 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: suggesting that you you know, listen to the governor's plea 441 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: for assistance. You know. I think a lot of people 442 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: were just like, oh wow, it's very rich because again, 443 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: this is someone who regularly votes against disaster relief, like 444 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: to the point where you like, do you think nothing 445 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: will ever happen to the Commonwealth of Kentucky that might 446 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: warrant the need for disaster relief? Like in he was like, well, 447 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: when the hurricane was going off in New Jersey, New York. 448 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: He was like accusing Chris Christie is just like sort 449 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: of being greedy and just trying to get his hands 450 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: on money. And it's like also voted against like giving 451 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: FEMA fucking money, so their budgets were like intact. So 452 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: it was just a very odd turn where suddenly the 453 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: person who regularly acts like he doesn't need anything has 454 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: like this very you know, demanding attitude, hostile attitude, and 455 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: like along alongside it, I think we also saw a 456 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: lot of takes on like Twitter, especially of people like 457 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: sort of laughing at Kentucky because like, you voted for 458 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell, and it's like kind of a similar thing 459 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: like when Texas had their blackouts, like suddenly, especially if 460 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: like many like you know, big d Democrat liberal Twitter 461 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: accounts are like ha ha ha, and like this is 462 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: don't replay the same like nonsense, like at the end 463 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: of the day, you please refocus everything to understand that 464 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 1: people are fucking people and in a disaster, like they 465 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 1: need to be helped. Don't don't condition that, and like, well, 466 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: you voted for Mitch McConnell, therefore, and I get that 467 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: you think that it's it's antithetical to somebody to vote 468 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: for people who are regularly passing legislation that you know, 469 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: our existential threats to them. But on some level, when 470 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 1: you're looking at things like this, I don't know how 471 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 1: like you look at that and go, yeah, if I 472 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 1: was in that situation, I want people to like laugh 473 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: at who's the governor of my state or something? Right, Yeah, 474 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: I think empathy is probably the way to go on 475 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: any any of these. They didn't in general. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 476 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: I mean it's I think it's such a gross take 477 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: seeing that on Twitter from like liberals and like it's 478 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: as if there's this disconnect from the fact, like like 479 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: there's this idea that of the people in Kentucky voted 480 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: for Mitch McConnell, so they deserve this, and that's like, 481 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: actually not how our system will works, And a lot 482 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: of people didn't vote for Minch McConnell, and the Democrats 483 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: put up spent all their money on Amy McGrath when 484 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: Charles Booker was like an amazing candidate. Like there's so 485 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 1: many other political things happening and none of that ship 486 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: actually matters. Like what matters is just that people are 487 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: dying and they deserve relief, and Rand Paul is also 488 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: an idiot, and the point of the government is to 489 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: help the people. So I think release eight is a 490 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: good idea and disasters. The fact that he's like putting 491 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: it in the tone of like that this is partisan politics, 492 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: like that this is an episode of crossfire and he's 493 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: like debating Joe Biden on whether or not to send 494 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: the aid is pretty silly. Yeah, And I think just 495 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: in general, people and think again speaks to the polarization 496 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,679 Speaker 1: that's happening because on you know, in both registered voters 497 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: of both parties still are defaulting to like, well, they're 498 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: not real people sort of thing. And I think that's 499 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: precisely why we're kind of in the state that we're in. 500 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: When I think you'd hope that sort of the first 501 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: response out of people who seemingly think they're people of 502 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: goodwill would be empathy to say that is so fucked up, Yeah, 503 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: we need to help them otherwise. But then it's just 504 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: more a reflection like, well they laugh when bad things 505 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: happen in these other states. Well, that's that's how they 506 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: choose to look at the world. That's not that's not 507 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: how we're going to get through anything. We actually have 508 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: to work together, and you're seeing that in all these 509 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: states like very quickly. You know, I think parties in 510 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: ideologies begin to sort of disappear, like in the face 511 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: of a disaster like that, and you're seeing people in 512 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: all these states really you know, having to help each other. 513 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: If there's a partisan angle to it, I would like, 514 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: not that I think there is, But if I was 515 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: like desperate to make a take on Twitter, like I 516 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: think it would be like, Wow, look how Ramda Paul 517 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: the government that you've elected in your state is not 518 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: helping you, Like that's really sad. Like there's other people 519 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: who want to help you, Like I feel like that 520 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: is like maybe the only way in and like but again, 521 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: like I don't think it matters, Like I think all 522 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: that matters is that people are say if and we 523 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: look out for each other when people are dying circumstances 524 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: that they can't control, Yeah, I think yeah, Like, you know, 525 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: the pandemic sort of blew open how America is going 526 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: to respond to things like things that are out of 527 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: people's control, where people needlessly lose their lives or there 528 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: could be ways to keep people safe. Is immediately turns 529 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: into a like, well, that's how those people think they're 530 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: gonna stay safe, and that's how we think we're gonna 531 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: stay safe, and that I think that's continuing deterioration of 532 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: that is you know, I hope to blunt that momentum, 533 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: but we shall see. Yeah, yeah, that's a good point 534 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: that we I guess I shouldn't be surprised when they're 535 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: politicizing a tornado that killed you know, ninety people, when 536 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: they politicized something that killed more people than all American 537 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: wars combined.

Also like 658 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: calling him like square j square jawed and indomitable is 659 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: like straight up that's how Super Marols described And I 660 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: want to know how. I want to know how many 661 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: revision passes? Yeah did he write this? There's no mention 662 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: of his new haircut in it, and I feel like 663 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. Yah, his fast wave haircut. Yeah, very 664 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 1: very aggressive haircut. Yeah, alright, well real quick. Chris Wallace 665 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 1: has left Fox News. It was a surprise announcement at 666 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 1: the end of his UH Sunday show. He's apparently going 667 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 1: to CNN Plus, which is CNN subscription service that will 668 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,320 Speaker 1: I think pete to be the least subscribed to service 669 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: of any sort that that anyone has ever launched, but 670 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 1: maybe not. I just I don't I don't understand why 671 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,320 Speaker 1: you would subscribe to that instead of just he c 672 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 1: n n on talking about whatever. But anyways, I I 673 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,879 Speaker 1: don't know the behind the scenes machinations. I do think 674 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: we are seeing broadly, like people positioning for like the 675 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: fourth Reich that is going to be out in the 676 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 1: open white supremacy and fascism starting around election. And you know, 677 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 1: Fox is putting themselves in in position to no longer 678 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: really have that critical kind of news focused side of things, 679 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:48,359 Speaker 1: and you know, just be full Tucker Carlson ledge. I guess, 680 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:53,400 Speaker 1: I guess like his Tucker Carlson's Patriot Purge documentary and quotes. 681 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 1: It was something that Chris Wallace had criticized, and so 682 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: that that might have ledged to this it. Yeah. I mean, 683 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 1: he's had the unfortunate distinction of being like the one 684 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:06,719 Speaker 1: of the few people who would like would try to 685 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: acknowledge like some level of how bad ship was with 686 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,840 Speaker 1: Trump and being objected like should a president do that? 687 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 1: They're like, Okay, you fucking Democrats, get the funk out 688 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 1: of here, and it's like, let's just say that's a 689 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 1: real question. And yeah, I mean, I think it's it's 690 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 1: really I think the fact that you have these sort 691 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: of challengers to the throne in like oh a n 692 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 1: and Newsmax, that's pulling them even further off the ledge 693 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 1: because they're seeing that they were like hemorrhaging viewers to 694 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 1: like Newsmax in certain like time time slots. And that's 695 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: only bad for Fox quote unquote News because yeah, like 696 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 1: as you see, Tucker Carlson isn't slowing down. R Ingram's 697 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,240 Speaker 1: not slowing down. It's just getting further and further into 698 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 1: their sort of you know, white dominated fantasy world fascism 699 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 1: all the time. Yeah, exactly. But I think that's I 700 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: think people they're going to be surprised by how much 701 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: a second Trump administration is. Like the lesson they will 702 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 1: have learned is to just get rid of like anything 703 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 1: resembling breaks on the Trump train and just go like 704 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: full unadulterated like authoritarianism and fully like trying to make 705 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,720 Speaker 1: adjustments while he's in office to keep him in office 706 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 1: and you know, make it so that he can't be 707 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: voted out. So that's I think where we're headed. But 708 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 1: hopefully CNN plus can save us, and N plus will 709 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 1: get us our voting rights restored. Right. I definitely think 710 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: cable news is what's going to save us. I'm glad 711 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:51,879 Speaker 1: because that's what I'm hoping. Person of the Year, how 712 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:57,359 Speaker 1: they told us the truth about Joe Biden. Thank you, Like, 713 00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 1: oh God, focusing on all the right story raise all 714 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,759 Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, yeah, Time person of the Year will 715 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: be like Donald Trump presents Time Person of the year, 716 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 1: like dark Time person of the year. This year's Donald Trump. 717 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,319 Speaker 1: Who's like the next person of the year, the next 718 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 1: most personist of the year. I mean it's got to 719 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 1: be Avonka, right, I'm not the only one who feels 720 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 1: like it's got to be Alonka to suck full of 721 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: loose bullets, Joe Rogan, Yeah, no, it's really dark. I'm 722 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 1: just hoping there's something in that week that can happen 723 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 1: that can prevent a Trump and I hope that's like 724 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,399 Speaker 1: the Democrats are able to at some point do things 725 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,920 Speaker 1: for people that really affect their day to day lives 726 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 1: and in a positive way, so we can just avoid 727 00:41:54,960 --> 00:42:00,439 Speaker 1: total fucking utter disaster in two years. Yeah, the data 728 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 1: set and not looking too good, right, but we've gotta 729 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,319 Speaker 1: keep our eyes peeled and like yeah, I think it's 730 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 1: more and more. I hopefully more and more people actually 731 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 1: get in touch with how Die or the situation, especially 732 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,720 Speaker 1: as it relates to like election boards, like you're already 733 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: seeing like Georgia they're purging black members of elect county 734 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 1: election boards. It's it's like it's they're they're very much 735 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 1: fully positioning themselves to be able to flip a switch 736 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 1: and just say like, no, man, the winners, whoever the 737 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,799 Speaker 1: funk we say it is, and you're gonna have to 738 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,359 Speaker 1: fucking accept that. And I think that's I don't think 739 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 1: that reality has been communicated properly in the news. Two people. 740 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,839 Speaker 1: It's just always like wow, like they're doing a lot 741 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 1: of news like a voter suppression right and saying like, 742 00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: hold the funk on this idea that you live in 743 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 1: a country where you could go and vote. I mean 744 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 1: even now, I mean many way would argue, you know, what, 745 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: what what good does it do? Now? But even further so, 746 00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 1: we're talking about just absolute vapor wear and they're you know, 747 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 1: even less accountability. Is that a fucking situation you want 748 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,520 Speaker 1: to be in? I mean it's already bad enough now, 749 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: and to go deeper down that whole I think is 750 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 1: a reality that I think Americans aren't able to fathom 751 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,959 Speaker 1: because voting has always been like a thing that's like, yeah, 752 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 1: you vote, and then like, whoever get some most votes 753 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,800 Speaker 1: you win? Since you're in school, are doing like school 754 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 1: elections as a kid. But that's that idea of like, 755 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,080 Speaker 1: you know, whoever has more better, like more people supporting 756 00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 1: their ideas wins. That's uh more very quickly becoming a 757 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 1: like an afterthought. It totally is an afterthought. And it's 758 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,880 Speaker 1: also just like, are the entire way that electoral politics 759 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 1: work is based on the idea that it's not actually 760 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,879 Speaker 1: the amount of people who want something that wins. I mean, 761 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,680 Speaker 1: if that was true, Hillary would have won, right, Like 762 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 1: it's sort of this idea that is part of our system, 763 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 1: and we've sort of like I think because of that, 764 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,239 Speaker 1: there's this acceptance of like, yeah, well that's not how 765 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 1: it works here, Like it's not about the most popular, 766 00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 1: it's about the system that we have that we don't 767 00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 1: totally understand. And I think it's sort of en grains 768 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,280 Speaker 1: this idea and you know that you don't have control 769 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 1: over anything, um so like I think, yeah, I don't know. 770 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 1: I think it's sort of trickles down and the way 771 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,359 Speaker 1: that the voting suppression is happening right now. I think 772 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 1: you're right where there is a disconnect from like, no, 773 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,719 Speaker 1: people actually are not going to be able to vote, 774 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 1: and like this is ultimately going to change the fabric 775 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,799 Speaker 1: of electoral politics in our country. I do think there's 776 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,880 Speaker 1: a little bit of a disconnect from a lot of people, 777 00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: and like myself, including at times included at times, as 778 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 1: I've learned about these issues, I think there is like 779 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,200 Speaker 1: a sense of well, how bad can it be? Like 780 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: we all vote it, and yeah, even independent of the 781 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:44,720 Speaker 1: suppression and the like you know, rigging and changing that's 782 00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:48,640 Speaker 1: happening at the local level. There's also the current the 783 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:53,879 Speaker 1: Democrats who are currently empower seem like they think, well, 784 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,400 Speaker 1: just that we'll get people to vote more now because 785 00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,799 Speaker 1: they will recognize how bad it can get as as 786 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: a strategy, and I don't which is so fun. It's like, no, 787 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 1: they want to recognize that you can help them. They 788 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,879 Speaker 1: want to recognize that when you're in power and when 789 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,400 Speaker 1: you have all branches of the government, there can be 790 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,400 Speaker 1: actual actions that impact someone's life. Instead of learning that 791 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,200 Speaker 1: like the Senate Parliamentary and is a thing like we've 792 00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,400 Speaker 1: never heard that ever, but now we can't put minimum wage. Sorry, 793 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,839 Speaker 1: Like that is not a winning strategy for Democrats. They 794 00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,520 Speaker 1: actually have to do something to show people that when 795 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 1: they're in power, their lives are improved. And it's just 796 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:35,400 Speaker 1: like shocking how little they've been able to achieve and 797 00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:42,240 Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, sorry, I won't get too much into it. 798 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:45,560 Speaker 1: It's I mean, it's a habit, a habit that both 799 00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 1: parties are unable to break because the line really does 800 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,879 Speaker 1: end with is this going to help people? Well, then 801 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 1: we can't do that, you know, like that there, and 802 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 1: I think the difference being is it you know, you 803 00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,719 Speaker 1: see all those memes in the version of like what 804 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,400 Speaker 1: Republicans say, what democra at saying? The Democrats saying the 805 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:05,400 Speaker 1: same things after like better fonts and emojis around it, 806 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 1: while though the substance of it is the exact same, 807 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:12,319 Speaker 1: And yeah, I I it is disheartening in that sense. 808 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,400 Speaker 1: And I think that's the sort of reality too that 809 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 1: I think that it just can't be uttered on TV 810 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,440 Speaker 1: because it's like it's too real to say, I'm like 811 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:25,400 Speaker 1: fucking MSNBC. It's like, well, to be honest, like there's 812 00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 1: the will to really get things done is about around 813 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,040 Speaker 1: the same because when it comes to really fighting for 814 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 1: things that are going to help people, they will is 815 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,560 Speaker 1: just not there. And there are you know, there are 816 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 1: transformational things that were being proposed, but we're already seeing 817 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,239 Speaker 1: them get diminished and diminished and diminished. And yes, they 818 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,799 Speaker 1: are still meaningful. Also because the bar is so low, 819 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,960 Speaker 1: and I think we there's we really have to, you know, 820 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:52,600 Speaker 1: as it's hard to I think see Americans truly demand 821 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 1: to get the things that they want out of their 822 00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,920 Speaker 1: politicians because like to your point, Ali, like it's just 823 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:02,240 Speaker 1: it becomes a thing where you think, well, what's nothing's happened, 824 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,279 Speaker 1: so what good is it doing? And then you see 825 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,480 Speaker 1: how democrats want to motivate the base, and it's like, 826 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, if you guys don't vote something, 827 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,840 Speaker 1: it's gonna get bad.

That's what is happening. Not see 916 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:22,359 Speaker 1: you mortgage direct is like being making it fucking rain 917 00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,640 Speaker 1: because they're like the you know, benevolent donat or whatever. 918 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,680 Speaker 1: So all that to say that the reactions normally have 919 00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,239 Speaker 1: been like oh ah, but the reactions to this clip 920 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,799 Speaker 1: when it went viral most people, And I think this 921 00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:35,760 Speaker 1: is where you're starting to see that sort of shift 922 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,320 Speaker 1: that's come along with I think increased sort of class 923 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,920 Speaker 1: awareness and just sort of the difficulty of life in 924 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,080 Speaker 1: America where most people were starting to be on the 925 00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:49,560 Speaker 1: more confused or disgusted end of the spectrum, being like, dude, 926 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,400 Speaker 1: what the funk Like isn't that money, like like the 927 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,359 Speaker 1: government should be given them, like to fucking be able 928 00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:59,440 Speaker 1: to pay for trash bags or you know, chalk. And 929 00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:01,560 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people also noted that, you know, 930 00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:04,279 Speaker 1: South Dakota is only second to Mississippi, I believe, for 931 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:07,440 Speaker 1: like lowest pay for teachers, and on top of that, 932 00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,800 Speaker 1: they're sitting on a hundreds of millions of unspent COVID 933 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:14,400 Speaker 1: relief funds that you know, you could probably funnel some 934 00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,440 Speaker 1: of that into education, since that's a critical piece of 935 00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,080 Speaker 1: infrastructure for your state to have people educated and teachers 936 00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,799 Speaker 1: be safe. But I think the one hope is that 937 00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,920 Speaker 1: the coverage of this moment wasn't like, oh wow, like 938 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:28,360 Speaker 1: they looked like they had a good time. It was 939 00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:36,640 Speaker 1: more like it's wow, it's such a beautiful shift. Though. 940 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,160 Speaker 1: I worked as a reporter for BuzzFeed for two years 941 00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,719 Speaker 1: in my early twenties, and we covered stories like this 942 00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:47,080 Speaker 1: like often, and like it was accepted of like how 943 00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:50,719 Speaker 1: wonderful is this? Everyone came together to like save this 944 00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:56,440 Speaker 1: to buy this girl insulin, and it's like hold on, like, actually, 945 00:53:56,480 --> 00:54:00,160 Speaker 1: this is deeply, deeply fucked, and this story, like being 946 00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,759 Speaker 1: the reaction to it is at least a little bit 947 00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,960 Speaker 1: of an inspiring shift where it's like, Okay, these teachers 948 00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:11,400 Speaker 1: are deeply underfunded. This Morgan throwing five thousand dollars on 949 00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:14,080 Speaker 1: the floor and say fight for it is ultimately not 950 00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,839 Speaker 1: a nice, awesome thing to do for teachers. And so 951 00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:19,960 Speaker 1: seeing that shift, I think is really cool and I 952 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,040 Speaker 1: think it sort of speaks to what we're talking about earlier, 953 00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:26,640 Speaker 1: where it's like a big part of the political maneuverings 954 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,759 Speaker 1: are to convince people that like, sorry, this is just 955 00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,520 Speaker 1: how much money of someone in this job makes like sorry, 956 00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,400 Speaker 1: like you just don't get any of these rights. This 957 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,040 Speaker 1: is just how it is, like you're just gonna get 958 00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,080 Speaker 1: paid this much forever and there it does take a 959 00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,040 Speaker 1: cultural shift to be like wait a minute, like this 960 00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,239 Speaker 1: is actually way too little money to make, Like this 961 00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,200 Speaker 1: is not what a minimum wage should be, Like this 962 00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,280 Speaker 1: is actually not the standard of living that I accept 963 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,280 Speaker 1: And it is cool to see workers and like people 964 00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:53,360 Speaker 1: who are like wage earners have that shift of like, 965 00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,200 Speaker 1: hold on a second, like this is not the way 966 00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,560 Speaker 1: that things have to work, just because they've been the 967 00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,719 Speaker 1: accepted way of the past. Yeah, And I think it 968 00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:02,719 Speaker 1: also goes back to even just sort of how like 969 00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:06,680 Speaker 1: why politicians are even like seem worse now because they're 970 00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,200 Speaker 1: they've been so used to this pattern of just saying 971 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,160 Speaker 1: nonsense and like most people being so disconnected from like 972 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,879 Speaker 1: what the real like reality of inequality is that now 973 00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,200 Speaker 1: with people having more awareness around it and you're seeing 974 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,120 Speaker 1: it with around them, like not being able to be 975 00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:23,320 Speaker 1: like wait, so like are people really withholding their labor 976 00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,479 Speaker 1: because they realize they can get more or deserve more, 977 00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,920 Speaker 1: and then like not knowing how to message it around, 978 00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:33,279 Speaker 1: like not shaming companies for raising like their wages and 979 00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,440 Speaker 1: but saying nothing when they're raising their prices to basically 980 00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:40,200 Speaker 1: offset any little bit of wage increase that's happened and 981 00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,560 Speaker 1: not treating the situation like that, and people like, what's 982 00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,400 Speaker 1: going on with all this? Like a lot of places 983 00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,840 Speaker 1: are raising their prices as a way to recoup the 984 00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:50,520 Speaker 1: money from the little bit of profit that was shaved 985 00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:54,759 Speaker 1: off from paying more wages and not realizing that. I think, 986 00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,040 Speaker 1: for especially if you're a politician or you know, leadership 987 00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:00,160 Speaker 1: role where you're very much insulated from what it means 988 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,359 Speaker 1: is to like just be you know, having to pay 989 00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:08,000 Speaker 1: your bills and not having like excess cash every month 990 00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:11,360 Speaker 1: that you can sock away into savings. That there's a 991 00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:14,759 Speaker 1: new there's a new reality that many people are acknowledging 992 00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,360 Speaker 1: that they are not and that they think there's a 993 00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,960 Speaker 1: lot of fat friction occurring now to just the sort 994 00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,239 Speaker 1: of disconnect between the two. Is there anything in place though? 995 00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,880 Speaker 1: For like, so the people who respond to this and 996 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,240 Speaker 1: are like that's fucking gross and looks like a scene 997 00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,799 Speaker 1: from a like sci fi dystopia, I do feel like 998 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,960 Speaker 1: anyone who is writing sci fi dystopia like about the 999 00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:42,200 Speaker 1: early two thousand's probably was like, fuck, it's a great scene. 1000 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:46,160 Speaker 1: I should have I should have written this, but like, 1001 00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,680 Speaker 1: is there anything for them to do? Like, who, where 1002 00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:52,640 Speaker 1: does that go other than like disapproval on social media? 1003 00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:56,399 Speaker 1: You know? I mean, I think that's the first step, right. 1004 00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:58,600 Speaker 1: It's like it's like if you're if you have an 1005 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:02,120 Speaker 1: issue with yourself and you're you know, going through therapy 1006 00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:04,880 Speaker 1: or something, you don't solve it in the first session. 1007 00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,319 Speaker 1: You have to bring awareness to something first, and you 1008 00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,279 Speaker 1: have to keep observing it to be able to really 1009 00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,480 Speaker 1: understand it. And I think more and more people are 1010 00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:14,960 Speaker 1: having that moment where the awareness is coming to a 1011 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,160 Speaker 1: lot of this stuff and it's not just like, oh 1012 00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:20,480 Speaker 1: my god, that's great, Like this anonymous donor canceled this 1013 00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:24,320 Speaker 1: school's lunch debt. You're like, fucking lunch debt? What does 1014 00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:26,800 Speaker 1: that mean? Oh? Yeah, these kids owe a lot of 1015 00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,600 Speaker 1: money because they had to eat or some ship, and 1016 00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,480 Speaker 1: that in our problem. Like, I think people are starting 1017 00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,840 Speaker 1: to like, sort of these things aren't They don't feel 1018 00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,320 Speaker 1: normal anymore, it feels I think the cruelty of it 1019 00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:41,480 Speaker 1: all is becoming more and more transparent and visible to people. Yeah, 1020 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:43,680 Speaker 1: And I do think that is a really meaningful shift 1021 00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:47,040 Speaker 1: of rejection of that narrative and demanding more from your politicians. 1022 00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:50,680 Speaker 1: And I think that whether it is like how you 1023 00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:54,240 Speaker 1: vote and like voting on policy and like actually paying 1024 00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:57,400 Speaker 1: attention to these issues of like funding or for schools 1025 00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:00,440 Speaker 1: or you know, like or if it's just you know, 1026 00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:05,440 Speaker 1: rejecting political narratives, Like I don't know. I do think 1027 00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:07,240 Speaker 1: it is an important place to start. And it's like 1028 00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,520 Speaker 1: you can always call your politicians, you can always like 1029 00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,600 Speaker 1: donate to go fund to me, but like, ultimately, nothing 1030 00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:15,640 Speaker 1: to me is more important than like a collective mindset, 1031 00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:19,120 Speaker 1: mindset shift of understanding that our government is supposed to 1032 00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,600 Speaker 1: take care of us. That is the point of a 1033 00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:24,440 Speaker 1: government is to Otherwise why would we have one right 1034 00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:27,720 Speaker 1: like it is to care for the citizens. Yeah, yeah, 1035 00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:32,200 Speaker 1: I just wish America and like the American government and 1036 00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:36,520 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party was better at if the like cultural 1037 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,840 Speaker 1: tone that we're reading and like the response to this 1038 00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:45,960 Speaker 1: clip was monetize herbal you would have companies like rushing 1039 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,520 Speaker 1: in to try and like find a way to monetize it. 1040 00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:53,240 Speaker 1: But like, I don't feel like there is that same 1041 00:58:54,040 --> 00:59:00,120 Speaker 1: sort of instinct to coordinate and organize around the is 1042 00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:04,200 Speaker 1: that aren't monetize able in America. Yeah, which is where 1043 00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,800 Speaker 1: I get worried. Yeah, and I think, well, I think 1044 00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:10,200 Speaker 1: what's powerful too is like the image itself. Most people 1045 00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:11,840 Speaker 1: just saw it for what it was like. Hold on, 1046 00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:16,160 Speaker 1: you're putting a bunch of cash on a rug, and 1047 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:20,800 Speaker 1: you're making teachers like fucking scramble for it in order 1048 00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:24,880 Speaker 1: to fund their like educational endeavors with bike helmets on, 1049 00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:27,840 Speaker 1: so that as they like crash, what's like hockey there? 1050 00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,120 Speaker 1: To be honest, more of an aesthetic choice is pretty safe. 1051 00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:31,760 Speaker 1: We just thought it as an awesome group thing to do, 1052 00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,000 Speaker 1: you know, would be really cool to watch these teachers 1053 00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:37,440 Speaker 1: just sort of demonstrate physically how desperate they are to 1054 00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:41,080 Speaker 1: provide for their students. I will say the there is 1055 00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:44,480 Speaker 1: what one of the people has a little like hat 1056 00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:47,440 Speaker 1: next to them, which suggests to me that they walked 1057 00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,480 Speaker 1: across the ice with the hat on, got the hockey helmet, 1058 00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:54,200 Speaker 1: and put the hockey helmet on as the like grabbed 1059 00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:58,400 Speaker 1: for cash started, because it was an attempt to not 1060 00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,760 Speaker 1: just like knock each other this They were going for 1061 01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:03,680 Speaker 1: the money. But yeah, I mean, I guess it is 1062 01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,680 Speaker 1: a hockey helmet on a hockey rank. But I also 1063 01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:09,160 Speaker 1: feel like it's like and man, they're gonna be so 1064 01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:12,479 Speaker 1: wild to try and get funding for markers that they're 1065 01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:16,520 Speaker 1: gonna like there's damage that could be done. Right, at 1066 01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,320 Speaker 1: the end of the day, this is all money that 1067 01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:22,520 Speaker 1: should be available to the people who are educating the 1068 01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,680 Speaker 1: future of the earth. But again we also see what 1069 01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:29,480 Speaker 1: happens when with a lack of good education and not 1070 01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:32,760 Speaker 1: challenging students and being able to develop critical thinking skills, 1071 01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,240 Speaker 1: because you might just accept the first thing you hear 1072 01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:38,440 Speaker 1: that a friend says and be like, yeah, that's the truth, man, 1073 01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:43,400 Speaker 1: I think the vaccine is actually causing these mutations.

But I had to think I 1088 01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:35,040 Speaker 1: had to go to that.

That says, 1094 01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:55,720 Speaker 1: chat in your student loan payments restart after January two 1095 01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,000 Speaker 1: thousand and twenty two. You'll soon receive a bill from 1096 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,280 Speaker 1: your student loan service.

You know, it is 1099 01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,080 Speaker 1: a problem. I think that Joe Biden is now we 1100 01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:14,600 Speaker 1: all have to start paying our loans again. You know, 1101 01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,640 Speaker 1: we're still in this pandemic and it's just not the 1102 01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:21,040 Speaker 1: best electoral strategy, I would say, But there's also what 1103 01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:22,600 Speaker 1: else is he supposed to do? Although he did say 1104 01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:25,880 Speaker 1: he'd cancel some students that so it's just and you know, 1105 01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,120 Speaker 1: and that would be one thing he could do. But um, 1106 01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:31,320 Speaker 1: chaps and Buddha. Judge publicly posting this. Whether or not 1107 01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:34,000 Speaker 1: he has awareness of what exactly he did, I'm not sure, 1108 01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:38,320 Speaker 1: but either way, I think it's beautiful. Yeah. Yeah, Like 1109 01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:42,320 Speaker 1: I feel like people are starting to think pee Judge 1110 01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:45,480 Speaker 1: is like the answer to the like that he's going 1111 01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,920 Speaker 1: to step in and be the Democratic candidate that people 1112 01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:52,560 Speaker 1: can elect because Biden and Harris are not it. I 1113 01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:58,640 Speaker 1: don't know, well, so lucky, I mean he he at 1114 01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,160 Speaker 1: least people voted for him him, like, you know, at 1115 01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:03,480 Speaker 1: least it seems like there was some response to him. 1116 01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:06,720 Speaker 1: So I mean, yes, no, I I am, I do not. 1117 01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:09,160 Speaker 1: I am not here supporting peep bo to Judge, That's 1118 01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:11,600 Speaker 1: not why I picked up this tweet. He's not for me, 1119 01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:13,960 Speaker 1: He's not it. He is not it.
