1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment last stravaganza.

4
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist.

5
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: Really what does it mean? What does something people think

6
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: it's true, you know to be false? I have four

7
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: things on the list. Welfare, Russians, being cold people, communism,

8
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: question mark, and cancer. I'd like to know about Russians.

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: Russians are really in the really cott in this country.

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hop on that. Then, Um, Russian people are cold. Yeah.

11
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: I think the impression is that Russian people are like

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: kind of soul as Google, like you know, like Millennia style,

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: you know. And I think the misunderstanding is is that

14
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: we don't have emotions or like not emotional people unless

15
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: we're like mad at you, and then we're like very emotional.

16
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: And I think what the misunderstanding is is our culture

17
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: doesn't thrive on like small talk and things like that.

18
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: We're very economical and we're very literary. So I feel

19
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: like people in America are very conversational and not very

20
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: and the difference I think is is like, well, when

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: I first moved here, it was so crazy. Everybody's just like, hi,

22
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: how are you? And it was so confusing and strange

23
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: to me. I found it really off putting because I'm like,

24
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: I don't know you, I don't know any of you.

25
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: This is so strange. I'm in a store or I'm

26
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: out or whatever, and strangers are asking me how I am,

27
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: because we take that really sincerely. I'm like, well, do

28
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: you want me to tell you that my grandpa has

29
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: a dimension? And I'm like very sad because I just

30
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: visited him. And I'm like, life is really transitory and

31
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: we're all dying because that's like essentially whatever Russians were thinking, ok, yeah,

32
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: yeah and so yeah, and so there's a missense you're

33
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: standing because either we share nothing or we share too much.

34
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: And then people are like, okay, you're a weirdo. We're like,

35
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: well you fucking ask yeah, so we'd rather not do it.

36
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: So a lot of times sometimes people are be like,

37
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: my Russian neighbor has never said hi to me, like

38
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm like, it's not what you think,

39
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: you know, But if you've ever had an actual conversation

40
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: with them about something, they'll say hi to you then

41
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: but if you're just like, hey, how's it going, Nope,

42
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: that's not our style. We don't do that, So that's

43
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: I think a misunderstanding. And also um, our language is

44
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: very very rich. It has a lot more words for

45
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: things and shades of meaning and shades of blue two

46
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: words for I mean, I have a tattoo that says

47
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: to ska, which is like a word that doesn't even

48
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: exist in English. It's a certain kind of like on

49
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: we or missing of a person or a thing that

50
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: might not even exist. It's like such a Russian word.

51
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 1: But yeah, we have so many things that are very

52
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: like deeply emotional and nuanced u that are in our

53
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: written language. If you like, read our literature. The reason

54
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: our literature is so popular and like people really put

55
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: it on a pedestal, put that pussy on a pedestal

56
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: because um, it's by pussy. We mean the book Low Leader, Yes, yes,

57
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: just that book. Um you know, like the reason people

58
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: you know like just themselves over Russian literature. It is

59
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: that good. It is that like nuanced. There's a lot

60
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: of words and shades of meaning and language is very important.

61
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: But I think we express ourselves more written unless like verbally,

62
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: and it takes a little bit to like get past

63
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: the outer shell. But then if you establish an actual

64
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: genuine connection with the Russian, they'll be like the best

65
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: loyalist person. I grew up playing hockey, so I had

66
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: a lot of Russian Armenian and Russian like teammates, and

67
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: I learned very quickly. I was like, this is a

68
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: good time. Well, I'm just glad that you've explained why

69
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: you're so closed off and emotionally unavailable. Yeah, she is

70
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: quiet talking to So this is a story that was

71
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,559
Speaker 1: sort of in my peripheral vision the whole like controversy

72
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: over The Last Jedi that was taking place, Like as

73
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: that movie came out and I thought it was I

74
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: wasn't like a huge fan of it, but the response

75
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: online seemed to be just all out war from men's

76
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: rights activists and it seemed like it was the most

77
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: controversial movie that's ever been released. And somebody did a

78
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:27,559
Speaker 1: study where they looked at the tweets that the people

79
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: who twote at Ryan Johnson, the director and expressing dissatisfaction,

80
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: and more than half of them were bots like troll

81
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: sock puppets or political activists and Russian bots were getting

82
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: involved in Russian activists, and you know, so there's covert

83
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: culture warship going on in places that you would think

84
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: are too stupid for that sort of thing. Right, it

85
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: kind of makes sense, it does. It just seems like

86
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: such a waste of their resources. But I guess it's not.

87
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: I guess when the end game is to cause as

88
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: much chaos, and like we're a country where all of

89
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: our deficiencies are so transparent, like whether it's like misogyny,

90
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: white supremacy, and all these other issues that it's like,

91
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: oh yeah, we'll hop in on the NFL thing, because

92
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: that was another thing too, that rush there was Russian

93
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: activity around the like, and I don't think it really

94
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: has anything to do with the actual thing they're hopping on.

95
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: I think it has everything to do with These people

96
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: who are doing this are like hackers. They're like computer experts,

97
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: and they understand the Internet and how the Internet works

98
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: in a way that they're paid to know and to understand.

99
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: And these are trending things people talking about. The Jedi

100
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: ship becomes a trending thing on Twitter, so of course

101
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: then Russian bots are going to do it to like

102
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: create havoc and create all these articles and these clicks

103
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,239
Speaker 1: and all these things. But how come they're not jumping

104
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: in on the Mayo Chuck was trending. I mean, I

105
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: guess that because it has some sort of society to

106
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: some sort of cultural war thing that they're like, well,

107
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: we can only go so far. Yeah, they're like, well,

108
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: we're not talk about that, but yeah, And then you

109
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: also see this too with Kavanaugh's nomination also that in

110
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: just the last forty eight hours they were saying there

111
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: was an uptick in like I account say identified as

112
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: being Russian troll accounts or whatever using like more confirmed

113
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh hashtags and things like that. So you know, they

114
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: do what if it can in like RT and spot

115
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: Nick also like went all out to promote the boy

116
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: bread as much as possible. So it's it's the whole

117
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: cavanaf thing and they're not creating the uh, you know,

118
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh backlash or the last jet blash. They're samplifying. Yeah,

119
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: they're just they're taking it to And then the sad

120
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: thing is that media outlets, especially like a lot of

121
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: these blogs in these smaller websites, will see the activity

122
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: and because of s e O and because they want

123
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: to get those clicks in the traction. They'll pick these

124
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: things up and then write articles about it and just

125
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: pushes it even further. It's like we're pushing this fake

126
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: ship that Russians are pushing up just to create more drama. Yeah, exactly.

127
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: Just get the message loud enough that you know, CNN

128
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: notices they're on, They're like what's trending today. So I

129
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: always find it interesting just to check in every once

130
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: in a while with what people what websites people are

131
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: visiting on the internet, because they do release that similar

132
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: web on a regular I think monthly basis puts out

133
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: their rankings. There's a website called google dot com that

134
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: is apparently number one Facebook. You know, all the usual

135
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be it wouldn't be too interesting to just

136
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: go through all of the top fifty, but there are

137
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: some interesting things if you check, like what's up and

138
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: what's down. So in America, Zillo is down seven spots, uh,

139
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: I think because that's another sign that the housing market

140
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: isn't doing great, and that's something that you hear from

141
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: people in real estate that the housing market is kind

142
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: of stalled out a little bit. ESPN is up ten spots.

143
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: I think partially because football season and Major League Baseball

144
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: postseason kind of coincide, and NBA off season is kind

145
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: of heating up towards preseason. And I just said seasons

146
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: so many times in a single sentence that it might

147
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: be a world record. Uh. But I also think it

148
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: might be the fact that people need something to they

149
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: need relief from the news cycle and sports is is

150
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: almost like modern America's religion. The October nine episode, that's

151
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: just what I call everything, whether what's overused and honestly, guys,

152
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: I think I think right weather dot Com is America's religion.

153
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: Eleven spots. I think because the hurricane season and probably

154
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 1: changing weather, you know. But so it's it seems like

155
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: seasonal rank. Yeah. Yeah, but CNN gained five spots and

156
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: Fox News dropped four spots, and those are like these

157
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: are all the biggest movers in the top fifty, Like

158
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: nobody else is really moving. Like the top ten is

159
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: almost completely identical to last month's top ten, because at

160
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: this point you're talking about like hundreds of millions of

161
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: people like going from one site to another. If you're

162
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: gonna like move from two to the top three, the

163
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: top three are Google, Facebook, and number three is YouTube

164
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: interesting Amazon. Number four, but I guess what number five

165
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: is Yahoo dot com? There because the elderly still use Yahoo.

166
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: They get everything from Yahoo. When I used to make videos,

167
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: digital videos that were just mass syndicated for the event,

168
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: Yahoo and MSN would buy videos. You're like, yo, who

169
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: goes there? And you can make something like desi arnez

170
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: is Beauty Secrets and like it would do like five

171
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: million views and you did like three things to Know

172
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: about John Legend or whatever, and it gets like like

173
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand. So a lot of people like can

174
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: just be on Yahoo and get everything they need, like

175
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: older Yeah, it's like a sure, Yeah, it's basically they

176
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: syndicate stuff like it's a newspaper, so that, you know,

177
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: old people who are used to newspapers can just find

178
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: it's all here. And I saw a video. Have you

179
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: seen the new Halloween costumes for pugs? Other kinds of

180
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: videos that do very well, But old people and other

181
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: people using Yahoo dot com. The rest of the Internet

182
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: is way better than you know who dot com. The

183
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: stuff you're getting is watered down garbage. Yeah, you'all start

184
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: watching other still watching real video clips on check out

185
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: the front page of Reddit that is going to old persons.

186
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: If you if you throttle them off of Yahoo to

187
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: the front page of Reddit, they would someone would have

188
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: some kind of like breakdown. Yeah, I feel like I'm

189
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: I have a breakdown every time I look at reddits,

190
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: like I can't get it. Yeah, who will have a

191
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: mount out mentally healthy people? Yeah? Yeah, so that we

192
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: know of uh huh yeah exactly. You're you seem very direct,

193
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: So I'm going to give you the best you know Reddit,

194
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: It's really it's really also about curating for what you like.

195
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: You know, if you just go to our all and

196
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: you see everything, then you're gonna see kind of all

197
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: dimensions of Reddit and it's great and worst forms. But

198
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: then you can find things that just like for me,

199
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: I got my arsenal ship gout, you know, things about

200
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: making music, other ones, and then you have like their

201
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: real communities like that. Then you have like the maga

202
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: like subreddits where I love to go to because it's

203
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: always oh, it's always fun to see how uh like

204
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: the die hard maga people are making sense of news

205
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: that we're looking at and how it's being spun to

206
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: sort of keep the narrative in check of like everything

207
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: is actually fine and that's really what it is? What

208
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: that what that subreddit offers people. Yeah, it's interesting. CNN

209
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 1: game five spots and Fox News dropped for I guess

210
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: that's kind of interesting. There's just more terror on the

211
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: middle to left, and so everybody's just constantly refreshing. Maybe yeah,

212
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: but if it dropped forward, that would you think that

213
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: maybe from that movement that some Fox people have ditched

214
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: Fox for CNN maybe, or maybe they're that entire population

215
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: is just checking the site less this month, and CNN

216
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: people are checking the site more. Yeah, I mean there

217
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: was there were a lot of reasons to want that coverage.

218
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: CNN is coverage right, Yeah, I agree. And Drudge Report

219
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: is went up one spot, so good for Matt Yeah,

220
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: good for Matt Old Maddie still beating New York Times.

221
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: Is the Drudge Report spots different? Is Drudge Report from

222
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: New York Times. It's pretty significant. Drudge Report is number

223
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: thirty nine. New York Times is not in the top fifty. Well.

224
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: New yon Times also now has a block, right you

225
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: can only get like yeah, yeah, I mean a lot

226
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: of these sites are just about curation though, when you

227
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: when you think about it, like read it is curation. Yeahoo,

228
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: we were talking about is curation and drudge is pure curation.

229
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: So I mean, and it's it's hard to be The

230
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: New York Times and actually have to pay to create

231
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: real content like based on what is actually happening. Uh. Yeah,

232
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: So there's a scientific study out that is going to

233
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: throw a little more gasoline on the fire of an

234
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: on on conversation of like our dogs smarter than cats?

235
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: And I don't know, this is a debate. We sort

236
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: of track here. We it's like, well, it is very

237
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: much a cultural thing, Like that's just you know, it's

238
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: like coker pepsi. People go dogs murder focking cats smarter,

239
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: And I think most of the time people are like,

240
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: well it's different, you know, they're cats are just aloof

241
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: and dogs blah blah blah. But this this one was

242
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: really trying to get at the real issue of like,

243
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 1: are there like differences in their cognitive abilities? Is their

244
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: cognition exceptional? And that's what they looked at. So they

245
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: compare dog cognition with members of three similar groups carnivals, carnivores,

246
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: social hunters, domestic animals, and carney and carneys. Uh and

247
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: they found like they studied wolves, cats, chimpanzees, dolphins, horses, pigeons,

248
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: and they found dogs not necessarily exceptional. And they say, look,

249
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: they can't use tools like crows can or like chimpanzees. Um.

250
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: And but they also say that they're one of their

251
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: biggest skills is that dogs actually like to be trained.

252
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: So it's easier to actually add skills by because they're

253
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: more open to training. So that's why you have those dogs,

254
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: I know, like a thousand verbs like when you're just

255
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: showing flash cards or whatever. So that that's sort of

256
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: what it got to is like the thing that we're

257
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: realizing is that dogs just like to be trained, Hence

258
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: they can there's more visible confirmation that maybe they have

259
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: a capacity to learn or above average intelligence. And really

260
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: they're very affectionate animals too, and like they have that

261
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: more so than other animals, which get us more like,

262
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: oh yeah, we and the dog in the dogs. So

263
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: dogs are the smartest animal when it comes to interacting

264
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: with humans. That is specifically like how they were designed

265
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: by evolution. Their species like started out by being wolves

266
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: who started coming near humans to get scraps and leftovers

267
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: from hunting camps. And the dogs that were best at

268
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: reading and befriending humans were the ones that survived and

269
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: ate the best and procreated the most. And that's how

270
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: dogs happened. And almost all clever seeming behavior that dogs

271
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: engage in, it's like they're reading us. They're like looking

272
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: at almost like clues that might be imperceptible to us

273
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: or that we don't know we're giving off. But dogs

274
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: are like a hybrid tool companion animal that was designed

275
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: for human companionship, and cats are like their relationship to

276
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: humans is much different. They're a hunting tool and they

277
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: became domesticated to perform the service of basically like a

278
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: smart rodent trap. Yeah, they were the first rodent trap,

279
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: the first exterminators, and so they inherently like because of

280
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: the way they came to exist, they have less of

281
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: a dependence on humans for food because their role in

282
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: a human household was to trap the food that we

283
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: couldn't get to. So of course they're gonna be like, man,

284
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: fuck you, I don't want no exactly. They say that

285
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: like having an outdoor cat in your neighborhood actually affects

286
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: the bird population, like it's an actual environmental issue for

287
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: birds in my mom's house. The for fucking cats. They

288
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: bring so many birds in. It's real wild. So you

289
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: have an animal in your house that you're just keeping

290
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: in from like going out and just killing everything. So like,

291
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: of course it's attitude towards you is going to be different.

292
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: Dogs are trained and like their full existence is just

293
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: dependent on reading your emotions. That's like how they have

294
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: always existed. So I don't know, this whole conversation just

295
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: seems like it's this issue that I see like bleeding

296
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: over into everything, Like when people are talking about whether

297
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: Kanye is a genius or not, and it's like, well,

298
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: he's a musical genius, but he's a political moron, or

299
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: like the you know, the i Q debate and like mensa.

300
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: We've been talking about mens A lot lately, and how

301
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: these fucking idiots end up like scoring well in i

302
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: Q tests. And I was like, Yo, the idea of

303
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: an objective intelligence that just exists across all things like

304
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: that doesn't exist. They're just very and like you would

305
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: you kind of I think we inherently know that, and

306
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: the idea of like an i Q test is like

307
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: a myth that we just like like to believe in

308
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: what helps it helps organize things better exactly. Yeah, but

309
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: it sounds like you really got hot over that when

310
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: I said, but it's true. Yeah, I think. Yeah, like

311
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: you say, dogs, they really are their companions, most of

312
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: these other animals, And I think that's why they're always saying,

313
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: even as they wrote it to like, look, we know

314
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: that their x factors that make them more appealing to

315
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: human beings, and that's why they're saying, we're just testing

316
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: if their brains can handle more information. They have cognitive

317
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: abilities that are beyond other animals, and that they're simply

318
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: saying it's not exceptional. But again, but they have all

319
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: these other skills that make them quite exceptional to us

320
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: as human beings. Yeah, because you know, horses do like

321
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: like sort of step based tasks too, and things like that.

322
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: So it's not yet. But what makes the world go

323
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: around is that everything is different, all different strengths and weaknesses.

324
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: I love cats and dogs, you know what I mean,

325
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: a dog, but I'm like, I'm a dog person. I

326
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: don't I don't hate cats. Your ambivalent? Are you ambivalent?

327
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: Are you just not? No? Yeah, I'm pretty whatever. Yeah

328
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: it was a cat. I admire cats, but I'm a

329
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: dog person. Like, I just mean, you admire the actually

330
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: that I hope my aspire to be like that amazing,

331
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: Like I think they're amazing creatures, and like I admire

332
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: the fact that they are like still existing as apex

333
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 1: predators in like a suburban environment. I think that's what

334
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: was that cat documentary, the Predator in your House or something? Man,

335
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: my mom went, I don't know when my mom keeps

336
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: coming up when that came on, she's like, you have

337
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: to watch this, right, I don't know why she's talking

338
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: like the captain and I'm the captain. She's Japanese. It's

339
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: more like you have to watch document about cut. Yeah.

340
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: I think my personality is more of a cat. But

341
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: I love dogs like as in because they are so

342
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: The one thing I love about a cat is they

343
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: are so independent that they're like, fuck you, I will

344
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: not let you pet me, even though like I just

345
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: want to. I think I would have like a cat

346
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: more if they let me pet them, because they want

347
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: to cute and furry, and they're like, you know what,

348
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: I'm beyond this cute and furry exterior, so fuck you

349
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: in your knee, Mike. I think it's important to when

350
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: you have them, especially when they're younger, like you just

351
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: got to get them used to being held by humans,

352
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: are interacting with humans, because like if you know, if

353
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: you adopt a cat, especially one that's been on the

354
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: street and stuff, much harder for them to be acclimated

355
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: to human. And also, Natasha, when you came in this morning,

356
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: you had two birds that you had killed in your

357
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: mouth and you dropped them in front of me and

358
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: Miles as gift off. That was the birthday. Yeah, and

359
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: you're disappointed in us when we like, like like a cat,

360
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: that's bad. You know, you don't want the rabies infested pigeon.

361
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: I think you're right that you're more of a cat personal.

362
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be

363
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: right back, and we're back. All right, let's talk about

364
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift guess, because I mean, look what y'all made

365
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: her do. She had to go and get political, so

366
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: she has. We we've talked a little bit before about

367
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: how she didn't think it was her place to step

368
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: out and take a political stance in the two thousand

369
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: and sixteen election. We were like, motherfucker, what were you

370
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: waiting for? But apparently this because after last week's events

371
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: in the over the weekend Kavanaugh getting confirmed, Uh, Taylor

372
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: Swift came out and was like, all right, so here's

373
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 1: what I think and full, full on post on the

374
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: Graham Let everybody know we can read a little bit.

375
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: She says, I'm writing this post about the upcoming midterm

376
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: elections on November six and which I'll be voting in

377
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: the state of Tennessee. In the past, I've been reluctant

378
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several

379
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: events in my life and in the world in the

380
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: past two years, I think one is code for when

381
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 1: that DJ groped her and she won that lawsuit, and

382
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: then the past two years, I think that's her saying

383
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: Trump without saying Trump. I feel very differently about that now.

384
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: I always have and always will cast my vote based

385
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: on which candidate will protect and fight for the human

386
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I

387
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights and that any

388
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is wrong.

389
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: I believe that hold on now that the systemic racism

390
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: we still see in this country towards people of color

391
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: is terrifying, sickening, and prevalent. I cannot vote for someone

392
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: who will not be willing to fight for dignity for

393
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: all Americans, no matter their skin color, gender, or who

394
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: they love. Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee

395
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: is a woman named Marcia Blackburn. Oh, calling out names

396
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: now as much as I have in the past, and

397
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: would like to continue voting for a woman in office.

398
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: I cannot support Marcia Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress

399
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: appause and terrifies me. So, I mean, then she goes on,

400
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: pulls out receipts about how she didn't vote for equal

401
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: pay for women, voted against the re authorization of vice

402
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: against women, acts like really lays it all. Yeah, So,

403
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: I mean, this is like vanilla statement that couldn't possibly

404
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: It's not like she's taking a side because everything she

405
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: said was like she says, I'm voting for Phil Reticon. Yeah.

406
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: But she also says in it that she she chooses

407
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: the people that she believes is right at the time,

408
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: which is I think a good way of you know,

409
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: telling people. How could anyone object to what she was

410
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: saying there? Oh wait, sorry, if we have a Fox

411
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,479
Speaker 1: News clip, I'm told let's listen. Yeah. So again, clearly

412
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: this wasn't gonna go overwhelm with the culture wars, so

413
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: again we're hearing it. This is a juxtaposition that The

414
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: Daily Best put together of them talking about how brave

415
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: Kanye is and how you know, Taylors need to shut

416
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: the funk up. And what I love about Kanye West

417
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: is he has been blazing this trail saying it's okay

418
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: to think freely, it's okay to oppose the status quo,

419
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: and in fact, what makes America the greatest country the

420
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: history of the world is free thinking. This is what

421
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: I used to love about Taylor Swift that she stayed

422
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,239
Speaker 1: away from politics. Thank you, Kanye West for standing up

423
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 1: for what is right. I just wish there would have

424
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: been some some form of neutrality when she went about this,

425
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: where she said, just registered to vote, make an informed decision.

426
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: That would have been the proper way to go about

427
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: this and to have that kind of courage to where

428
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: the make America great again. Had he said it best,

429
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: he said, they're trying to tell me I can't wear this.

430
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: They're trying to tell me I can't support this president. Wow.

431
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: See the culture wars got people high. Well, I always

432
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: I always just find it very hilarious because Republicans also

433
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: go on the grounds that celebrities should shut the funk

434
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: up and no, no celebrity. Their whole thing is like, oh,

435
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: these lefty liberal celebrities want to share their opinions, except

436
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: that they voted the biggest want to be celebrity in

437
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: the world as president. And I'm like, you just negated

438
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: your entire argument. But then they'll support Kanye if it's

439
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: a celebrity who wants to speak, that's on his side.

440
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: So famous people, they're so thirsty. They do not have anything.

441
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: They have Tim Allen and they have and Rozan kind

442
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: of ish, Joe Piscopo, Scott right. Piscopo has like a

443
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: crazy right wing right. That's one of the other eighties

444
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: like Action Hero do Lorenzo Lamas. I think Victoria Jackson

445
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: from snl okay. So yeah, So like when you look

446
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: at when you look at that, when you look at

447
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: that culture War scoreboard, Taylor was a piece on that board.

448
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 1: They weren't sure what side she was on. You know,

449
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: for the longest time people are like, you know, she's

450
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: actually an Arian goddess and like like straight up. Neo

451
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,959
Speaker 1: Nazis were thirsting for her because because she didn't let

452
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: her political views known, that allowed those people to claim

453
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: her as their arian goddess. And now with this coming

454
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: out there like shit right, okay, fuck it, she sucked

455
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: the whole time anyway, and we love Kanye even though

456
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: when remember when Jane came out when her when she

457
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: won that v m A, they were like, who is

458
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: this nasty black man? They were about to say that

459
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: this is the only time we can document the Fox

460
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: News is praised like a black man. Luckily, they're like, Kanye,

461
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: you've got well that's the formula. If you sort of

462
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: reverse course and embrace fully like the racism of the

463
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: Republican Party, you will be number one on their list. Yeah. Hey,

464
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: welcome to the team, Taylor. Welcome to the team of

465
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: believing in human rights. You know that's that's cool. I'm

466
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: gonna go the prodigal son here and just be like, yeah,

467
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: the more the merrier. You know, you took a little

468
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: while to get here, but I don't know what you

469
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: were waiting for. But you know, one thing she did

470
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: point out is that the deadline to register to vote

471
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: is today to day. That this episode drops, and like

472
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of states like Arkansas, like a lot of

473
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 1: states are like you have to register in person or

474
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: over mail by today or online in the next couple

475
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: of weeks. Arkansas no online registration. Yeah, Arizona, the online

476
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: registration is today. As you'll see, I just got through

477
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: the AI's of the alphabetical list. But yeah, just check

478
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: when you're deadline to register to vote, because if you,

479
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,479
Speaker 1: if you're young, have because that's only whatever your beliefs

480
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: are Canadian and I cannot vote, and I all I

481
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: can to do is tell anybody whatever you're voting for.

482
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: Come on, man a few years. Yeah, hit up George

483
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: Soros at gmail dot com, say I need a fake

484
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: idea to vote and look at uh yeah, I think

485
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: again it's good. And like you said, I mean, well,

486
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: I guess clearly she said, I'm I'm picking the Democrats

487
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: in this race. She didn't use the word Trump, she

488
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: didn't use the words Republican or Democrat, and yeah, at

489
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: the end of it, she still said, yeah, I agree,

490
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: And I think that's actually like you said, better because

491
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: that doesn't fully allow people to be like, oh, you

492
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: see she says, I support the Democrats or something like that.

493
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: She's like, I'm a woman, I think this, these are

494
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: my values. This person does not aligned with that. Therefore

495
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: it's a no for me to Natasha. By the way,

496
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: your father and I were talking and one way you

497
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: could vote America get married. I have a green car.

498
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: It I there's a narrative emerging on the right. In particular,

499
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: I was informed by my YouTube app on my phone

500
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: thinks I'm like right wing because they're like, I've got

501
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: a video for you today, Jack, It's the latest Tucker

502
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: Carlson hot take. This morning's Tucker Carlson hot take was

503
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: all about how the Democrats blew it on Kavanaugh and

504
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: like how you know the Republicans out maneuvered them. And

505
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: I think it's just important because I I was deep

506
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: in that story enough to feel that way right, like,

507
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: like how did they how do they get that one right?

508
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: And the truth is given the proper context, it was

509
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: always a hail Mary that they would be able to

510
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: defeat any Supreme Court nominee because the Republicans have the

511
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: numbers in the Senate and they are willing to do

512
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: anything necessary to get a Supreme Court nominee through. So yeah,

513
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, yeah. And I think this is tying

514
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: into the overall idea that the hearing and the testimony

515
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:23,719
Speaker 1: of Dr blaus Ford and Kavanaugh that everybody watched like

516
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: launched this huge backlash that the Republicans are going to

517
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: be bringing. But Miles, you were saying that, like most

518
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: people vote, you're angry, the people that are angry vote.

519
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: If you're complacent, you have no motivation to change your

520
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: situation through voting. Here, think about the attitude if the

521
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: fall of man Ain't nobody gonna vote for this asshole

522
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: right now? Cut to and now we're in a situation

523
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: where if my goodness, man, progressive people, liberals, women are

524
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: just people people of color, they have an act to

525
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: fucking grind. And yes, again, polling shows that the Democrats

526
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: are doing very well, but I think, yeah, definitely, because

527
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: the progressive side took the hit in this hearing, there's

528
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: even more I think energy behind it. And I think

529
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: Republicans just telling themselves that because they're they're looking at

530
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: something off in the distance and the sea coming towards them,

531
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: and it looked like some kind of a way what

532
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: you know, how big it is, but something will happen,

533
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: And I just don't like this idea, like the outmaneuvered thing.

534
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: It's so clearly a way to try and paint this

535
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: administration is getting a win because it was clear. It's like,

536
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: you guys just made it very clear to any reasonable

537
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: person that you really don't give a funk about women,

538
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: what women have to say, what they could be telling

539
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: the truth about anything. You're like, no, no no, no, no no.

540
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: And yeah, now you want to make it like, yeah,

541
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: well we got him in and we out maneuvered them,

542
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: and really all you did, like there was so much

543
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: strategy involved. The strategy was you have no moral scruples

544
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: and you broke the rules. So yeah, congrats because you

545
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: showed your ass. That's really all that happened. I think

546
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: that's just them trying to been this like tragedy, this tragedy, tragedties,

547
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: travesty and a tragedy tragedty like that. Yeah, and overall,

548
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: the fact that the story came out that he was

549
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: probably a sex crime, overall that made him less popular.

550
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: It made him it kind of heightened the support and

551
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: enthusiasm among Republicans, but it made him less popular with

552
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: swing voters and independents and Democrats. So and yes, there

553
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: appears to be a backlash to the Me Too movement,

554
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: but that's nothing. Now. This just I think gave the

555
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: people who are going to lashback about that movement an

556
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,719
Speaker 1: excuse to talk about it. It's like, you know, if

557
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: patriarchy is a virus, you know what I mean, it

558
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: tries to fight off any antibodies that's right, and that's

559
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: all that it's doing is trying to thrash and survive.

560
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: Because there's even that woman who posted like, here's my son.

561
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: He's a sailor like that him to bullshit, and they're like,

562
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: he refuses to go on solo dates anymore because of

563
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: he's afraid that feminists with the an agenda are going

564
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: to try and accuse him of something. Then the sailor

565
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: himself comes down and goes pause. All of this mother,

566
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: my mom is wacky. She goes extra on the fucking

567
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: social media. I've never said anything like this to her,

568
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: and it just kind of shows you again there's this

569
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: whole culture wars aspect of it too that just played

570
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: out in front also like a generation gap to like

571
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: I think the people who are most concerned about the

572
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: Me too movement or people who are from a bygone

573
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: era where they pulled ship and they're like, I want

574
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: people talking about how I used to behave or the

575
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, no longer accepting the ship that I had

576
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: to go through. And there's a trend going on on

577
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: the right where like on Drudge on Fox News, they're

578
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: covering this new trend where they're they're worried that the

579
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: left is going to kill them. Rand paul As said

580
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: that his wife sleeps with a gun under her pillow

581
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: because she's afraid that liberals are going to come and

582
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: try and order her in her sleep. That's the first

583
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: good news I've heard, um, But it's not pointed at her.

584
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: Easier to shoot yourself in the face if your guns

585
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: under your pills above the bad um. And like I

586
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: don't understand metaphor and drudges, you know, conveniently pulling little

587
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: pieces of quotes, like he has one of his headlines

588
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: as Eric Holder, when Republicans go low, we kick them,

589
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: which is just like him doing a play on the

590
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: when they go low, we go high thing a Hillary

591
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: time per civility is over is also a quote that

592
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: they're putting all over the place. It's just crazy to

593
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: me that and they're trying to act like there is

594
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: a violent uprising on the left that is coming for

595
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: the Fox News viewers of the world. So Tucker Carlson

596
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: was covering this coming wave of left wing violence. Also,

597
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: you we'll see them talking about civil war being an

598
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: inevitability all over the place, and that's rarely discussed on

599
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: the left. But so Tugger Carlson was talking about the

600
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton saying time first, civility is over and you know,

601
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: the idea that antifa is going to kill all the

602
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: Christians in the world or whatever, And his guests made

603
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: a very valid point and we'll hear how he deals

604
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: with that point. The violence that we're seeing across the country, um,

605
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: isn't really coming from the left, but actually from the right.

606
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: You could show clips tonight of you know, Dylan Ruth

607
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: preparing to kill people in a church in Charleston, or

608
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: clips of many of the other white supremacists who have

609
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: gone on and kill people like in Charlottesville last year,

610
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: with how they're higher. But you're owning me in this

611
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: right now. Well, actually, yes, you Maxine Waters getting people's

612
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: faces in restaurants and stations, that's not violence. She's calling

613
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: for a peaceful world. Actually, if you scream at someone

614
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: to the point where they have to leave the restaurant,

615
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: that is I don't know, violence, that's an act of

616
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: wild aggression. I would say, oh yeah, It's always come

617
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: up so annoying when the right categorizes the left defending

618
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: as offending. It's always just blows my mind. It's like

619
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: people saying, oh, when we don't want to make a

620
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: cake for gay people, that's fine, right, But when we

621
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 1: don't want to serve you in a restaurant because you're

622
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: putting children in cages, you're violent for saying that. That's ridiculous.

623
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: And all the left ever does is say things like

624
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: it's time to end civility, and they're like, you're so violent.

625
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, we just said that. We didn't do anything.

626
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 1: We just said that we were not going to be said. All.

627
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: That's as much as we ever do. I wish Democrats

628
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: were more violent. I think there's an inherent I mean,

629
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: I don't mean yes on the front page c A

630
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: FBI PA now, I specifically mean we should be more

631
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: offensive in in our political tactics. And I don't think

632
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: there's that's a sort of being offensive as a sort

633
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: of violence. If you listen to Tuckybies. Yeah, I went

634
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: to g W and I've been to Crossfire, uh and

635
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:32,439
Speaker 1: watched him live and watching a little boy, I feel

636
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: like a big boy. Yeah, it's wild, man. I mean,

637
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: it's all in self preservation though. That's the only way

638
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: they can frame their actions is to be like, well,

639
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: if we're completely infallible and right, then that that's the

640
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: only way I can protect myself from these people's valid

641
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: criticisms and takedowns with my acts. But I think there's

642
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: also a deep and inherent right leaning ideology at the

643
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: core of American values, and that's why, like, I don't

644
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: think people like the fact that the Oklahoma City bombing

645
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: was a right wing person who like right wing militia member.

646
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: Like if that was any other cause, that would be

647
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: what we remember it as the you know, right left

648
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: wing communist bombing or the you know whatever, the Islamic attack.

649
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: But because it was right wing, we just like view

650
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,760
Speaker 1: it as like a one off, like a lone wolf

651
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 1: guy or well, yeah, because I think that's what even

652
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: with Kavanaugh, we've realized we look at the actions of

653
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: white men and be like, ah, but just he's just

654
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: being a boy, or like he's just being a domestic terrorists.

655
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: They get to fail up. And we talked about this

656
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: a lot too, about how you know, there are dudes

657
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: who were like taking bombs to airports, like white men

658
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: who were trying to make their own improvised explosive devices

659
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: and booby trap shit, or people trying to hop on

660
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: Amtrak trains with knives and ship But I think in general,

661
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: it's quick to just put those back there, like, of course, yeah,

662
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: it's America, guys that they're gonna be crazy conservative people

663
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: who do wow shit, right, and we can, we can,

664
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: we move on, but we just forget about it because

665
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: this black kid had a hoodie on, right, and that's

666
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: what we need to talk about. Yeah, and you see

667
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: it and everyday stuff like police shootings, but that ends

668
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 1: up getting blown up to the level of being written

669
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: across our history. We just you know, we remember the

670
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City bombing is the work of some lone lunatic

671
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: with a buzz cut, and we remember the shooting in

672
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: the church as being just like some random racist and

673
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 1: not connecting it to this broad right wing ideology that is,

674
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: you know, becoming more violent and more extreme in America.

675
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the one point it would be

676
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: the guy who shot Steve Scalise. I mean, like he

677
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: he was I get like on his things he was

678
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 1: saying like we have to bring Trump down and company

679
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: or whatever. He definitely had I mean, I'm surprised Tucker

680
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: Crosson didn't bring that up. That would have been the

681
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: closest thing he had to try and validate his his

682
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: point there. But yeah, even with Rampaul, Like there was

683
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: that tweet that was going around that everyone had the

684
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: same take on when it was like rand Paul, I'm

685
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: worried that quote someone is going to be killed because

686
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: of political climate, and I was like, yeah, her name

687
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: is Heather Higher, Like what then are you talking about?

688
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: When I was in college, I was illegally arrested at

689
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,240
Speaker 1: a protest and then became like part of a class

690
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 1: action lawsuit against the Metropolitan Police Department for like the way, yeah,

691
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: for the way they detain people and stuff like they

692
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: had U hog tied right hand to left foot for

693
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 1: over twelve hours, stuff like that. And um, It's interesting

694
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: because I feel I feel like sometimes we have short

695
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: memories and we think like, oh, this is like happening

696
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 1: and it's terrible. It's for the first time. And when

697
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: I remember how bad and like bleak things were during

698
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: the Bush administration, I mean, I'm like, I think it's

699
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: just we were so traumatized, we forgot that it was

700
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: as bad as it was. And now it seems charming

701
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: because he's like an old man who's playing with his raincoat,

702
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: you know, outside because he probably is dementia. But it's

703
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,439
Speaker 1: not you know, it wasn't charming then, And I think

704
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: like we forgot the Patriot Act. We forgot like how

705
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: terrible and scary was At that point. I was just

706
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: a resident, like legal alien instead of a citizen, and

707
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I could get you know, literally

708
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 1: from this arrest. They could just like send me home. Yeah.

709
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: And I feel like I just want us to remember things,

710
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: uh get bad like this, and they will get bad

711
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: like this again. But I do think that we have

712
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: to keep in mind that what you were saying about

713
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: the right wing agenda, all that stuff is connected over

714
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: years to those people who were active during the Bush

715
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: administration that came out. We saw a bunch of like

716
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, skinheads and stuff that would come out to

717
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 1: protests to try to like mess with us and try

718
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: to beat us up. And you know, they always get

719
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: bold and more active when the general feeling in the

720
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,720
Speaker 1: country is that this is more permissible and we shouldn't

721
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: forget that. Like that Oklahoma bombing and Dylan Roof and

722
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: the skinheads that came out during Bush and you know,

723
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: the National Alliance, all those people, they are all the same.

724
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: It's that same wave of hate and xenophobia that's just

725
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: gets to come out more when someone is in charge

726
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: who condones it. Meanwhile, the right if somebody who is

727
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: Muslim attacks a country, they're just like, well, we can

728
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: go to war with a rock because that that country

729
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: also has his majority, and there are a lot of

730
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: contracts to red yes, but there you know, yeah, I

731
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,919
Speaker 1: mean they'll just needed that justification. They'll connect anybody who

732
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: has the same hair color. It's also the same in entertainment, right,

733
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 1: It's like if a movie comes out that is fronted

734
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: by women, are directed by a woman, and everybody touts

735
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: that and the movie is not good. It's like the

736
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: movie is bad because it's woman oriented. And it's like

737
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: if the same happens if a movie is like a

738
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 1: quote unquote black movie, it's a goal. Well, a black

739
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: star didn't bring in the box office. People don't care

740
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: about watching black people, and that's you know, that's not

741
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: really uh the case. Obviously, all right, we're going to

742
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: take another quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.

743
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: Jamie Lee Curtis is trending. Uh And I had to

744
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:18,479
Speaker 1: look into this why with yogurt? No. It turns out

745
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: Fox News was trying to get a thing going yesterday

746
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: they twooked Jamie Lee Curtis wields firearm in new Halloween

747
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:36,879
Speaker 1: movie despite advocating for gun control. Okay, uh, this set

748
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: off a bunch of really great tweets like Jason Gilbert

749
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: tweeted Tim Allen murders Santa Claus in movie despite advocating

750
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: for celebration of Christmas, and just all sorts of other

751
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: more like, you know, Fox News presents no news despite

752
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 1: being a new exactly wow, well you know all that

753
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: culture warship, Like they really have to find a thing

754
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: to be Like, I can't believe she talked about advocated

755
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: for gun control and then they're like, how can we

756
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: get her back? Oh, you're holding a gun in a movie.

757
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: I think that Fox News just has the take of

758
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: just like the worst neighbor on the block. Always just

759
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: a neighbor that like, no matter what, even if it

760
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense to say, they have to say it

761
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: in that tone like, well, right, should you really be

762
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: chemically watering your lawn? I mean, we are all doing it,

763
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: but should we? Yeah, there's this sort of disingenuous cultural

764
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: commentary coming from the right and from Fox News lately.

765
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: So during the Kavanaugh hearing, Molly Ringwold was like, yeah,

766
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: there was some really fucked up stuff in some of

767
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: my movies. Like in one of the movies I think

768
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: it's pretty in Pink or sixteen Candles, a drunk girl

769
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: is given to somebody as like a here, have fun

770
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: with her, and it's just like considered cool. And she

771
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: was like that in retrospect not all right? And Fox

772
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: News was like, oh, come on, what people can't do

773
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 1: like bad stuff in movies? What? So now all movies

774
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 1: are just going to have to be people sitting around

775
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: and peacefully discussing their problems. It's just like, I feel

776
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: like all the Fox News should just be that impression. Well,

777
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: come on, come on, like now it matters how the

778
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: populace votes. Come on, now we care about racism? Well,

779
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: come on, now, like you care about who's your Supreme

780
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: Court justice at all? Like you need to come on, oh,

781
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: come on, But anyways, do we have to explain why

782
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: that's stupid that movies have points of view and characters

783
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: within them are not. It's very frustrating, and I think

784
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: it's funny like this notion that like Molly Ringwald and

785
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: Jamie Lee Curtis are like in charge of movie. Yes, right,

786
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: hello chair. It is literally my understanding of movies when

787
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: I was like four, Like when I first saw and

788
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't like him because he's mean.

789
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 1: It's like yo like that. But you guys are grown

790
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 1: ups who are actually covering the culture for a large

791
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 1: portion of Americans. So try harder, Fox News. So our

792
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: office this morning is talking about Lebron. James Bron on

793
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: Wednesday had his first or not his first appearance as

794
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: a as a Laker, but it was a preseason game

795
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:36,800
Speaker 1: where he looked really good and finally Superproducers Sophie Lichterman

796
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: was excited about. She was like, I was thinking for

797
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: the first time that this could be a good thing

798
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: for the Lakers because she's a Kobe stand and she

799
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,879
Speaker 1: is in that in that group of Lakers fans who

800
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: who think that there's like some sort of conflict between

801
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: liking Kobe and liking Lebron just because Lebron's better than

802
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: Kobe and dissonant. Yeah, at the is also that, but

803
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 1: also a thing we're just learning. Other than that Lebron

804
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: is still good at basketball. Shocking Laker fans is that

805
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,280
Speaker 1: he's apparently that cool dad who lets his kids drink.

806
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: He said that he his kids are super mature, and

807
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: he was like, they drank wine. Yeah, they're eleven and fourteen.

808
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,919
Speaker 1: So I mean, I don't know a lot of people

809
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: are like I think took it immediately because they want

810
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 1: to villify him as like these kids are drunk off

811
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: wine all day, right, you know, like and I don't

812
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: know if it's more like the European angle where yeah,

813
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, like, you know, every kid in France, right,

814
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: and like even my mom, like you know, she traveled

815
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: out in Europe. When I was a kid, I would

816
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: be like, I want to taste your wine, like, yeah, whatever,

817
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: you're not gonna like it. And I didn't like drinking

818
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: the foam off my dad's beer or something that wasn't

819
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: like fucking twisted of four years old sipping the phone

820
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: off at daddy's beer. But you know, I think I

821
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: would like to know what the amounts are before we

822
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: have any judgment. He's cut. I also do wonder, like

823
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 1: what are the goals as a rich parent? You know

824
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like do you do you want to

825
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: be like, hey, like this is how rich dad is.

826
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:13,919
Speaker 1: Get drunk. You want to know how good we're doing?

827
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:19,760
Speaker 1: Get drunk, drive death's car. They can do anything to us. Um, Yeah,

828
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: it's interesting. There are those parents who are like the

829
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: cool parents who everybody drinks at their house. That's different though, right,

830
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: that's the game as like Saudi Arabia. This mean everybody

831
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 1: gets drunk at their house? Yeah what what? Well? I

832
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: think everywhere else us he not here, guys go wild. Okay,

833
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: I'll turn my back to everything, right, But I don't know. Yeah,

834
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: like that's right, Like I don't know parents who are

835
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 1: just like I'd rather have my kids get super twisted

836
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: at home, right, then go out somewhere else and do it.

837
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: Like there's an argument of like, you know, you can

838
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: demystify like the taboos around alcohol early on kids realize

839
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: you can responsibly drink or whatever. Like I don't know

840
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 1: about the ship. How do you feel about those parents,

841
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: because like I always hear those parents in response to

842
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: their kid, But then I always wonder what it's like

843
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: for parents whose kids hang out with that kid that

844
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: there was a dad who's like, you're drunk at my house? Right? Yeah,

845
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 1: I understand. I think it's just more like sort of

846
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: it's the fear based parenting where they're like, what's better

847
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: here than it's just some party in Woodland Hills, right,

848
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: which I knew people like that. I don't know. I

849
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 1: think that can that's a slippery slope a little bit.

850
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: Did you guys go to high school parties? Were you those? Yeah? Yeah,

851
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 1: high school parties? Uh yeah. There were some razors and

852
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: there were some The ragers were always at the house

853
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: where the parents were cool with the rager happening. Yeah, exactly,

854
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: which was wild. They were always the kickbacks were for

855
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, my parents at a wedding come through, you

856
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 1: know what I mean? That was the kickback the rager.

857
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: It was like at home. Girl and I'm gonna say

858
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 1: her name, Katie san Felippo's house, her mom was there.

859
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: Shout to Shawn Nato, Cindy Nato. She was sucking out

860
00:47:56,040 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: there being like you guys need more blah blah blah, right, Like, yeah,

861
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: I get that, but again, those kids, I don't know,

862
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: I mean, not all of them ended up odd, but

863
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I know, like I know a couple

864
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: of parents who were like the cool parents who let

865
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: the parties happen at their house and their kids ended

866
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: up in rehab. But then you know it's not It's

867
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: not always that way, and I know plenty of uh

868
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: kids with really strict parents who ended up in rehab.

869
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: These are like all, these are all the reasons that

870
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: my dad and mom, growing up as like devout Muslim parents,

871
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 1: were like, you will not have friends, right exactly, we

872
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: don't want you have ideas? Did you? So you didn't

873
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: go to any rangers? None, well unless you count the

874
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 1: sleepover where we watched The Shining and I was the

875
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 1: only one that stayed up, like everyone's asleep, yeah, because

876
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: everyone falls asleep during that movie and then like wakes

877
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: up to all the blood, right, right, that's usually. But

878
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: I was like, I will not sleep. I barely get

879
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: out of the house. I'm enjoy every moment. So I

880
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: wanted to check back in with the microwave theory about

881
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: US diplomats because um, yere, so I'll tell people what

882
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,760
Speaker 1: you think is going on. Well, so in Cuba, in Cuba,

883
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 1: like right at the start of the Trump administration, diplomats

884
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: started complaining of nausea and headaches and hearing these like

885
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 1: loud noises, and they started speculating that it was some

886
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: sort of covert attack from some unknown weapon that you know,

887
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 1: our military had not scientifically discovered, like didn't know was

888
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 1: possible because like the way the incidents were described, it

889
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: would have to be like sound waves or you know,

890
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:58,839
Speaker 1: it was more recently speculated that uh, microwaves could do this,

891
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: because my the waves at the right frequency can cause

892
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,720
Speaker 1: like a clicking to you to hear, like a clicking

893
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: in your ear. But I've from the start just based

894
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: on having read a lot about like mass hysteria, and

895
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 1: I think they're called socially caused illnesses or something, but

896
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: basically I've always thought that's what was going on. And

897
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 1: so once The New York Times wrote this article about

898
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 1: how microwaves were a possibility, this huge community of conspiracy

899
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: theorists jumped on jumped on board, and we're like, yeah, see,

900
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: we've been talking about this from day one. So there's

901
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: this huge community of people who claim about four thousand

902
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 1: different members across the United States. What do you call yourselves?

903
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: They call themselves They believe they're the objects of secret

904
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 1: electronic attacks, and uh, it's the there's a worldwide association

905
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 1: called Freedom for Targeted Individuals. So they all think that

906
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 1: they're being that the government is like beaming them with

907
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 1: microwaves and like attacking them wherever they go. But because

908
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: there's this like because because these diplomats claim that are

909
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 1: starting to claim that like micro they must have been

910
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 1: microwave attacks, it's given fuel to fire of conspiracy, right,

911
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: that's right, So they started taking out There's this one

912
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: creepy billboard near Phoenix, Arizona, where it says contracts, stalking,

913
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:43,760
Speaker 1: and electronic assaults. These growing crimes are not being stopped.

914

Speaker 1: a gang, we're all likely delusional, so that that's a thing.

920
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:15,760
Speaker 1: Like one of the creepiest and saddest type of YouTube

921

00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: I worked on this thing, That's why I'm being targeted,

927
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 1: or I worked with this politician, or like I know

928
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: this secret about a bank, or is it just like

929
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: there any reasoning or they just think they've been selected

930
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: to be followed or I think they just believe they've

931
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: been selected. I'm sure some of them, or maybe in

932
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 1: their minds they have a reason to I don't know. Yeah, no,

934
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: head is of literal microwaves shooting like laser beams at

935
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: people from the sky. Yeah. I like that, just floating

936
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:10,399
Speaker 1: microwaves like that, like that old screensaver, Remember after Dark

00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: there's a toaster with wings screensaver. Yeah, anybody, it was

938
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 1: just like it was just like I just I imagine

939
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: the microwaves with wings updated version. But these groups because

940
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: like these used to be isolated individual people, you know,

941
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: the people who are paranoid and thought they were being stocked.

942
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,760
Speaker 1: But now social media has allowed them to create support

943
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: groups and find one another and enable Yeah, and now

944
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:42,720
Speaker 1: they're getting like legislation past. There's uh. In two thousand fifteen,

945
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: the city Council in Richmond, California, passed resolution that decried

946
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:52,120

00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:56,320
Speaker 1: quote targeted and tim most Sorry what Richmond, you signed

948

Speaker 1: Space based weaponry? They thought they were being stalked by

950
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:06,359
Speaker 1: space based weaponry? Um, you know they just heard from

951
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: probably a handful of constituents or you know, one member

952
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: of this group got to you know, three other people

953
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: who are like, Okay, that makes sense, like legitimizing paranoia. Yeah,

954
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's the same thing that is happening with uh,

955
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 1: you know, antivaxers and ship like that. So do you

956
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: think like the legislators just like you know, honestly, like what,

957
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 1: it's not going to change anything for anyone if we

958
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 1: sign this into laws. And they're like, let's just fucking

959
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 1: do it so they leave us alone? Or do you

960
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 1: think that the people were actually like, no, I believe

961
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: this is important. I don't think anybody probably believes it. No,

962
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,720
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think any of the people

963
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 1: on the city council probably believe it. There you can

964
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: get anything passed, but through a city council they'll just

965
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: be like, alright, anyone object past, Alright, moving on to
