It is an admirable level 113 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: of laziness. Yeah, on the one hand, I think it 114 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: looks whack. I think it's annoying to have it all 115 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: over your streets and sidewalks. On the other hand, so Miles, 116 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: you and I were walking to lunch yesterday and we 117 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: witnessed a dude who was tweeting sleeveless and on one 118 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: of those hoverboards, and he was like.

You're like, dude, that's a dumbass look. And 127 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: then like for a while that was like the wave 128 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: and now it's air pods. I'm still anti airpo at pod. Yeah, 129 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: thank you, anti AirPod. I have enough money, But I 130 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: will say air pods are like being anti cell phone, 131 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: and then once you have one it it really is 132 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: the best problem. Suproducer was walking around the office like 133 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: the fucking the second Coming of Christ, like and I 134 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: just put the phone anywhere and I'm cord free.

She's ended in my computer 138 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: and she looked at me and was like, what is 139 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: happening over there?

But 142 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: I don't think people should go all in like that. However, 143 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: the air pods are the best product that Apple has 144 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: made since the iPhone. Yeah not yet, I'm not ready. 145 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: It's really good. I lose them, but yeah, I thought 146 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: so too, and I did. And I feel like someone 147 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: I just feel like you're looking to get robbed when 148 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: you got that on.

And finally, what is something that is underrated? Raccoons? Raccoons? 154 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: I you know, I watched that video of that raccoon 155 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: climbing that skyscraper in Minneapolis so many times. And who 156 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: would have thought that a raccoon could bring so much 157 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: joy to so many people in such dark times. It 158 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: was such a triumph of the human spirit or the 159 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: raccoon spirit, marsupial spirit. Uh. Yeah, because in the beginning, 160 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: when I saw trending like what the fund is trending 161 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: on Twitter? But then I saw it. At first I 162 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: was like, this is so stupid, And then later in 163 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: the day They're like, yo, she still hasn't gotten up there. 164 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: And then I'm like, all right, let me see.

And I didn't know raccoons could climb 168 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: the side of a tower like like that Spider Man. 169 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: They can. Their hands look like our hands, just smaller, 170 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: so if our hands were smaller. Oh my god, Jack, 171 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: I just saw your hands the first time. They were disgusting. 172 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: Yeah they're not. They do have like little human ish hands. Yeah. 173 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they did that, the thumbs and everything. Washed things. Yeah, 174 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: they pulled fruit out of the trash and they washed them. Yeah. 175 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: We were We were camping the other night and one 176 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: climbed in the back of our super Yeah he did that. 177 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: Sounds like a Portland a joke, but it's not. I 178 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 1: I'm a goddamn my mom who's a huge possum proponent. 179 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,599 Speaker 1: You're just gonna stop at possum. Yeah, my mom was 180 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: a giant antic possum. I still don't know how she's 181 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: my mother, but genetically we do share the same anyway. Yes, 182 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: she hates raccoons. Because she sees them like like son 183 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: the possums in her yard and like take the food 184 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: that she leaves out for the possums. So she's like, 185 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: they're my nemesis. Um. But I think she's coming around 186 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: a little bit when she realizes that, you know, she 187 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: she tends to just put a human story onto animals. 188 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: And then it's like, oh, if you see the raccoon 189 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: with its baby, she'll probably instantly be like it was 190 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: a single mother. Now if you see a raccoon without hair, 191 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: have you seen that? Oh my god? Wait, oh my 192 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: guys out, Why wouldn't the raccoon have hair, Like did 193 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: someone shave?

It's pretty scary looking. Um 196 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 1: but yeah, uh it looks like a broke broke bear. 197 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,080 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah. And me to have 198 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: to start the raccoons that they have been raccoons without 199 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: hair that have been uh you know, confused with mythological creatures. 200 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: They're like it's a you know, swampy right, yeah, because 201 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: raccoons without hair scary looking. Finally, Joe, I know, I 202 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: said finally before, but I tried to tease up the 203 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 1: finally finally. What is a myth? What's something people think 204 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: is true that you know to be false. So I 205 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: just learned this yesterday. Um, the fact that porn stars 206 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,119 Speaker 1: a lot of people think they're not just like us, um, 207 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: and I'm here to say they are just like us. 208 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: I did an interview for Committed with these two married 209 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: porn stars yesterday, and I think I was expecting to 210 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: walk into their house and for it to be like 211 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: crazy party porn Central just stink, yeah, exactly, and and 212 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: and it wasn't. I mean, it was just the coziest 213 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,119 Speaker 1: little place I've ever been. There was the Walter Isaacson 214 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: biography of Da Vinci Counter, which I'm also reading, and um, 215 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: the wife was hand raising baby chickens in the bathroom, 216 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: which I would also like to do. So I was like, huh, wow, 217 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: porn stars, they are just like us? How about that? Yeah? Yeah, 218 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: there's a Tennessee in this country to look at porn 219 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: stars is just these other people mythical, mythical? How could 220 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: they have sex on camera? As we saw it was 221 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: just like Rudy Giuliantti's con judgments on people's sexual mores 222 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: from Rudy Giuliani. So I can't agree with you. Guys. Well, 223 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: that's why you started wearing air pods because you saw 224 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: how he was rocking them. Like, yeah, people need to 225 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: look up Google image search Rudy Giuliani with air pods 226 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,719 Speaker 1: because he has them in backwards, some upside down and backwards. 227 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: He did marry his cousin. He did. He absolutely did. Um, 228 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: that's cool. Well, I'm gonna look forward to that episode 229 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: of Committed, And I actually for a first story one 230 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: to talk about your second episode of Committed, because it's 231 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: on a subject that I've been hearing just really interesting 232 00:12:55,240 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: podcasts about recently. The second episode was about a couple 233 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: where the wife had sort of surgery that hampered her 234 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: short term memory. Yeah yeah, so she uh and she 235 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: had a stroke on the operating table and it gave 236 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: her this form of amnesia where she can't make new memories. 237 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: She can make some memories, she can't make them very easily. 238 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: And there's that terrible Adam Sandler movie fifty First Dates 239 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: about this kind of amnesia. Terrible change my face that 240 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: that movie was No Overboard, which is the best movie 241 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: temporary amnesia. Um, And so, yeah, this is a real 242 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: life story about that, And how do you have a 243 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: marriage when one person I can't remember what's happening? And 244 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: the most incredible thing about their story is they've used 245 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: this to have the most memorable marriage ever. And it 246 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: means that every day they're going into it trying to 247 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: find a way to make Gwen remember. So they started 248 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: running Marathon's yasa. Her husband has come this world famous 249 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: competitive eater who can create more cannolis than anyone in 250 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: the world. Gwen enrolled in Juilliard and yeah, she just 251 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: seems like a wildly talented person. Yeah, yeah, just but 252 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: and also wildly, wildly happy. So she keeps telling me 253 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: that she thinks she's a lot happier now. I mean, 254 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: this terrible thing happened to her and it's been hard, 255 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: but she doesn't hold grudges. She lives very much in 256 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: the present. Um. I asked her if she journals and 257 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: writes down when her and her husband fight, and she says, no, 258 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: why would I want to remember it? And I think 259 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: that's a really interesting lesson for all of us. But 260 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: how do you win? Well, that scoreboard is going to 261 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: look pretty fucked up at the end of the month, 262 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: right to take all those l's. Yeah, um, And so 263 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: it was just fascinating how to build a marriage when 264 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: you have this thing that you think could completely destroy 265 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: a relationship and actually it ends up making it a 266 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: lot more meaningful and a lot better. Yeah you. Uh 267 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: so your background is that you and your husband traveled 268 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: around the world and interviewed couples all over the world 269 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: about how they make a marriage work. Right? We did? 270 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: We did? Yeah, I mean because I got I was 271 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: like old when I got engaged, and I had no 272 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: idea how to be a wife. I didn't really want 273 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: to be someone's wife. That word kind of sucks. And 274 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: I was a travel editor at the time. I mean 275 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: I wasn't like, you know, rich and famous or anything, 276 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: uh to travel all over the world. But I was 277 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: working at Yahoo. So thanks guys for paying for me 278 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: to research my book. And yeah, we travel around asking 279 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: polygamous tribes and Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem and really fancy 280 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: French women, how do you do this marriage thing? How 281 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: does this work? And you know, kind of debunking the 282 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: myths and expectations around marriage. And it was a blast, 283 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: and it turned into a book called How to be 284 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: married and now a podcast called Committed. Yeah, and it's 285 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: such a good podcasting. You learn something about marriage and 286 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: relationships in every episode, but you also learned something like 287 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: the thing I took away from the memory episode is 288 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: just that this is now the second time that I've 289 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: heard a story about somebody with a short term memory 290 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: loss or impared short term memory who is an amazing 291 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: long distance runner. And it really gives you some insight. 292 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, like if you guys have ever run, 293 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: but like I used to run marathons and like it. 294 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: When I first heard that, it changed how like I 295 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: thought about it, because it's really your memory, and like 296 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: being able to think about like how much pain you 297 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: were in a minute ago is like part of what 298 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: gets you down. It's like the weight of all the 299 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: pain you're in, as opposed to just like being in 300 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: the moment and being able to just like, okay, so 301 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: just focus on getting to the next moment. And how 302 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: much our minds mess us up. If we can just 303 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: get out of our heads, yeah, we would be so 304 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: much happier and also better at everything. Yeah, I wanted 305 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: to talk about the other two podcasts that I was 306 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: referencing that had interesting things on memory. So the first 307 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: was just an interview by the founder of Box with 308 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: Jane Mayer, who is the investigative journalist the New York Times. 309 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: She's written the definitive account of the Koch Brothers called 310 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: Dark Money. Uh, she wrote the definitive account of Clarence 311 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: Thomas and the Anita Hill trial. And it was just 312 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: like one thing she said. She said that all these people, 313 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: all these horrible people that she's found stuff out about, 314 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: believe that they have been tremendously wronged. Like the way 315 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: that these stories exist in their mind is that they're 316 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: able to hide the bad thing they're doing from other people, 317 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: but they're also able to hide it from themselves, and 318 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: they construct these elaborate narratives in which what they're doing 319 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: is the same as what other people are doing and 320 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: they're just being unfairly called out. And the founder of 321 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: Box like had this assumption that the Cokes hadn't embraced 322 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: their sort of I think he called it their boogeyman role, 323 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: because they are like the media boogeyman, and we, you know, 324 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: think of them as these evil people who are steepling 325 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: their fingers. And she was like, oh no, they're actually 326 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: very sensitive about how negatively they're being portrayed, and they 327 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: are doing all this charity to counter that, which is okay, 328 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 1: that's great, but yeah, everybody basically thinks they're the good guy. 329 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: That has constantly popped up in my mind ever since 330 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: I heard it because of, you know, the constant news 331 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: cycle we're dealing with what's self preservation to like, how 332 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: could you look at yourself and know if you've done 333 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: all that wrong and then be like, yeah, I'm fucked up, right, 334 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like you would have to 335 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 1: be like, the only way to keep it moving is 336 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: to be interrationalized, and yeah, create just be like, no, 337 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: see fucking everybody's against me, and see what I've been 338 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: doing is right? So fun they'll funk all that. Yeah, 339 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: you have to be the hero of your own narrative 340 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: or you lose your mind. Yeah, And it's yeah, that 341 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: that is true regardless of who you're talking about. And 342 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 1: even if it seems like, well, surely the Koch brothers 343 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: know that they're doing this just to make the world 344 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: a worse place too so that they can make more money, 345 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: they have no clue that that's what they're doing. Um, 346 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: and then the other podcast, uh that is sort of 347 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: a more sympathetic memory fault is Malcolm Glabwell did an 348 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: episode of his podcast a couple weeks ago about Brian 349 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: Williams lying about being in that helicopter. Yeah, so he 350 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: told on David Letterman the story of how he was 351 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: in a helicopter that got shot out of the sky, 352 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: and it turned out he was actually in a helicopter 353 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: thirty minutes behind that one. It was like thirty minutes away, 354 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: and then they both got pinned down in a sandstorm, 355 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: and he basically immediately reported on it, and you know, 356 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: got these people's stories, and he basically comes to the 357 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: conclusion that Brian Williams honestly believed the version of the 358 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: story that he told on Letterman. He had just told 359 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: the story so many times from the people in the 360 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: lead helicopter's point of view that he had formed a 361 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: memory around essentially, and like he was shocked when he 362 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: found out that he wasn't in the thing. Dude. So 363 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: I can see logically what you're saying, but it's like 364 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 1: being like, have you ever been in a car accident, 365 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: you'll remember that ship and if you haven't been in one, 366 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: it would be hard for you to like sort of 367 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: recreate all those emotions. I don't know, I mean it 368 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: seems like you, right, So I mean, this is actually 369 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: something I've written about and actually did like one of 370 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: the early Crack podcast about, because it's interesting when you 371 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: study flash bold memories. So people we all know where 372 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: we were, how we learned about nine eleven, like every 373 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: moment of that day, people, especially people who lived in 374 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: New York. But the New School actually did an experiment 375 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: with people who were in New York on nine eleven 376 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: where they asked them in the days after the event, 377 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,959 Speaker 1: than one month after, than six months after, than ten 378 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: years after, to tell the story of what happened on 379 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: that day, and their memories the stories they told changed drastically, 380 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: but their confidence level remained extremely high, to the point 381 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: that they would look at their old memory and be like, 382 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: that's my handwriting, But to know why I wrote that, 383 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: because that's not correct. Like this story that I'm telling 384 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: now is the true story. And part of the problem 385 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: is that the more times we access a memory, the 386 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: more opportunities there is for that memory to be corrupted. 387 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 1: So if it's a thing like a flash bold memory, 388 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: you constantly are going back to it, and each time 389 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: you go back to it, you're telling yourself a story 390 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: and you're introducing new ways for that memory to get 391 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: fucked up. There's actually a conspiracy theory that's based on 392 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: this because George W. Bush at one point talked about 393 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: how so you talked about how before he went into 394 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: the classroom to read my pet Goat on the morning 395 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: of September eleven, he watched on the news as the 396 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: first plane hit the tower, and people were like, well, 397 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: that's impossible. Nobody saw that. He must have had a 398 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: camera set up that was secretly showing him. And it's 399 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: actually just that if you ask most people, uh, do 400 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: you remember where you were when you saw the first 401 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: plane hit the tower? Like of people will create that 402 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: memory in their mind because they do have the memory 403 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 1: of the second plane hitting the tower, and so they 404 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: create a new memory. And he was just basically confusing 405 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: this thing. But he was telling the story as if 406 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: it was like this crystal clear thing in his mind. 407 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: Um So, anyways, if you think that he was intentionally lying, 408 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: I would suggest checking out that episode because I I 409 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: honestly was a little skeptical going in, but by the 410 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: end You're like, oh yeah, because he's like, you know, 411 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: just killing himself, like in this interview, like it's actually 412 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: with Matt Lower. Matt Lowers like, how could you possibly do? 413 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: You disgusted me and Brian Williams and then he takes 414 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:53,479 Speaker 1: a button on the desk and exactly. But Brian Williams 415 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: is like, I it must have been ego. I must 416 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: have been coming from a place of ego. But like 417 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: it's clear that like he's trying to explain his behavior 418 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: without really understanding it. And Malow is like, yeah, like 419 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: just shipping on him up. Uh So I don't know. 420 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 1: It's human memory is fallible, and it's true. It's true. 421 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: I mean, we we create our own stories, that's the thing. 422 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: And more, I think, more than we think we do, 423 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: even when we're fairly confident in the and the accuracy 424 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: of our memories. Um. Anyways, that was a big, long 425 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: thing about memory. We're going to take a quick break 426 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: and we'll be right back after this. And we're back 427 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: and our main story that we're gonna be talking about 428 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: today is the same one we've been talking about a 429 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: lot lately, which is the policy of the Trump administration 430 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: of separating families at the border. And you know, the 431 00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: hits just keep coming from this administration. Apparently they're as 432 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: an executive order coming soon that will uh you know, 433 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 1: intervene and change this policy. Wow. And I'm sure Trump 434 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: will pat himself on the back. Yeah, of course, because 435 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: he's compassionate. But uh, I don't want to miss out 436 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: on a couple of things that were coming from the 437 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: right on this. So there was an appearance by Korey Lewandowski, 438 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: Trump's homie who ran his campaign. I think was he 439 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: the first campaign? Yeah, he's been with the true I 440 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: mean he first met with Trump, I thinking, like months 441 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: before he even announced his campaign, and then eventually resigned 442 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: in June of sixteen after you know, he put his 443 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: hands on reporter. So anyways, he was on a Fox 444 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: News show yesterday representing the rights position on this matter. 445 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: I mean, look, I read today about a ten year 446 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: old girl with Down syndrome who was taken from her 447 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,959 Speaker 1: mother and put in a cage. I read about a 448 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: a they just they want want to a ten year 449 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: old with Down syndrome. Anything you sa, but the bottom line, 450 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:09,959 Speaker 1: you cra absolutely no, So how dare you? But yeah, 451 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: that's where we're at. The right, was in full damage 452 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: control mode on this story this morning, because the top 453 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: headline on Breitbart was DHS mother separated child with down 454 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: syndroma witness in a smuggling case. Wow, okay, so don't 455 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: worry about that. I'm pretty sure next time they'll be like, well, 456 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: do you have down syndrome? Right? Do you know? I 457 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: think that would be the next rhetorical defense that they 458 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 1: would let's get a test figured out. Well, I'm also 459 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: wondering if the next evolution of want womp is going 460 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: to be just the Charlie Brown teacher voice. Well, that's 461 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: definitely what's going on. They're just going to hit a 462 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: button and that's what's gonna play. It's really interesting too, 463 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: because you know, there was already an outcry of the 464 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: public not seeing where any of the girls or toddlers 465 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: were being kept, like we had only been seeing young 466 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: boys and like teenage men, and so yeah, I'm curious 467 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: to know because clearly they are not taking care of 468 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: people's disabilities. I can't imagine that they are, or like 469 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: they're even language barriers, like you know, there are a 470 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: lot of different dialects in guatemal and things like that 471 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: where some some of these people are not equipped even 472 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: communicate with kids who might not even be able to 473 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: communicate in Spanish to some of these people. So it's 474 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: to add to this that there are, you know, kids 475 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: with disabilities being separated, and then yeah, the reaction is 476 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: just sort of like, boo, fucking who is I don't 477 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: feel like we've just been just have kids. I don't know. 478 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: I have a hard time imagining like maybe they're just 479 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: really focusing on the whiteness of their kids, or in 480 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: this case, the fact that they're his kid doesn't have 481 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,719 Speaker 1: four kids, four kids, And it's just it's it's amazing 482 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,479 Speaker 1: to me every time I hear someone who's an actual 483 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: parent being so about yeah, it's it's an insane I mean, 484 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: I know, we talked about how you don't need kids 485 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: to feel sympathy in in this case, but having kids, 486 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: I know in my case, Like there was a New 487 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: York Times story this morning about five year old boy 488 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: who was separated from his father coming across the border 489 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: and hadn't seen him in days and just like talking 490 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: about the ways that he's responding to that, and he 491 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: carries around this drawing of his family that he made 492 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: with like stick figures and they had to get it 493 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: laminated because otherwise it was gonna like come to pieces. 494 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: But like he you could like see he was acting 495 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: out in a way that like a child typically does, 496 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: but there was also this layer of trauma there, and 497 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: like it was just impossible to take as somebody who 498 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: like experiences normal children acting out like on a daily basis, 499 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: it's impossible not to put your kid in that situation. Um, 500 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: it was really dark. But obviously Korey Lewandowski is not 501 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: listening to the New York Times podcast and or has 502 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: a has his own definition of what child abuses right, 503 00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: or what children are because the you know, the is 504 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: thinking in the same way as Donald Trump that these 505 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: children are the type of you know, creature that infests 506 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: quote unquote the country. DHS secretary, we we talked last 507 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: week about you know, what do you do in this case, 508 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 1: like how do you resist? And some people had a 509 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 1: pretty novel answer to that question. So Christian Nielsen had 510 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: the balls to go to a Mexican restaurant yesterday, and 511 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: that's a flex How how hard do you have to 512 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: be Jones? And for some right when you're like I'm 513 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: the face of like immigrant xenophobia, just disgrace policy of 514 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: this guy. I need so bad. So some protesters accompanied 515 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: her into the restaurant and started shouting her down. I 516 00:28:53,640 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: think we have some audio of them. You don't need 517 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: a date. We're calling you to add family separation as 518 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: a polish um. But yeah, so she, you know, spent 519 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: the first ten minutes of being shouted at, looking at 520 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: her phone, doing the like, well hopefully they just if 521 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: I ignore them, maybe they'll think I'm a different person, 522 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: right and uh, and then she just left the restaurant. 523 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: So I do think that people went above and beyond 524 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: to find ways to make people's lives uncomfortable. Who were, 525 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: you know, making this policy possible? And now, like we 526 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: said at the top of this segment, it appears as 527 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: though the President is going to intervene and past some 528 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: executive order that will keep families together. Unfortunately, it looks 529 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: like it will detain them indefinitely. Uh. Was that the 530 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: newest reporting about it? That's what the New York Times 531 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: report said this warning. I'm not sure if it's been updated, 532 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: but to Haberman joint, so a lot of anonymous sourcing 533 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: from people quote familiar with the president's thinking. But yeah, 534 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: it seemed like before, a lot of the reporting was 535 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: like the President is dug in on this, and I 536 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 1: mean as recently as yeah, maybe three hours, three hours 537 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: ago when I woke up, everyone's like, I don't know, 538 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: it looks like he's ready to do this thing. Congressional 539 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: Republicans went and met with him and they came out 540 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: being like, yeah, I don't know if he was just 541 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: totally unclear about whether he was going to respond or 542 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: change anything, and uh, now it seems like maybe one 543 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: of these many things got through to him. I know 544 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: he's going to pat himself on the back when he 545 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: announces this too, and he's going to say, I mean, look, 546 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: the Democrats wouldn't deal, so I had to solve this 547 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: terrible crisis, and it'll be completely framed like that. Absolutely, 548 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: he's gonna throw like a freedom rally, right exactly. It's 549 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: just and then the Philadelphia egules an't going to show up, 550 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: right exactly. And then and then you n Mexican food again. 551 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: But yeah, I just the pressure really needs to be 552 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: applied even more now, despite whatever, even if there's an 553 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: executive order ending this, Like these people acted in a 554 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: way that completely shows their lack of character and it's 555 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: like so unforgivable that like there's no there's no like 556 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: twist of logic that I can apply to this situation 557 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: to be like, well maybe I can you know, I'm 558 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: gonna s disgusting human rights violation and and this just 559 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: can't be one of the things that the media sweeps 560 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: under the rug next week when something else outrageous happened. 561 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: Yeah whatever, Michael Avanadi digs up. Yeah, I mean, I 562 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: do think the mainstream media was appropriately outraged. But this 563 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: has sort of been a reality check for me in 564 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: the sense that people really didn't seem to be like Miles, 565 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: you're talking about just some people you were noticing and 566 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: comments like I so I used to work in radio 567 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: and this one hip hop station used to work at 568 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 1: I was looking at like basically a lot of radio 569 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: stations on their social media, like on Instagram were posting 570 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: pictures of like this the situation with these immigrants and 571 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: saying like, hey, what do you think? And the comments. 572 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: I was blown away by the number of Latin X 573 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: people who were so indifferent to it of just sort 574 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: of like that's not my problem, or like they should 575 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: have followed the rules, or even like just anybody of many, 576 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: like even younger people people of color, who are just like, well, 577 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: you know, if you break the rules, like I don't 578 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: know what to do, like, they just stay where they are. 579 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: And it was really disheartening to see that because you're 580 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: even now seeing people of color sort of adopted sort 581 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: of like American privilege of just sort of like, well, 582 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: I'm fine, I'm good, that doesn't apply to me. It's 583 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: this sort of apathy that I was really sort of 584 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: blown away by that even people who are probably have 585 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: real connections to this kind of issue, we're just so 586 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: easily dismissive of it. I think people are going numb. Yeah, 587 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: and and and that's what I was afraid of from 588 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: the very beginning of this presidency. I'm like, we're going 589 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: to hit this place where people find like go numb. 590 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: And I think that's it's happening right now. Yeah. I mean, 591 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: I feel like the other thing is that the having 592 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: a right wing propaganda machine, having Drudge, who is only 593 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: today was only reporting about how poor the circumstances were 594 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: during the Obama administration. He wrote, Obama wrapped them in 595 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: foil and kage them, referring to the marathon blankets people 596 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: used and still using these facilities and just you know, 597 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,479 Speaker 1: the Fox News of the world. I I don't know, 598 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: like we've used Watergate in the past as a touchstone 599 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: for you know, a completely corrupt administration and like what happens, 600 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: and we talked about how there was you know, broad 601 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: support and for a lot of Watergate people were like, yeah, 602 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: but it's a complicated story. We're sure the president has 603 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: nothing to do with it. And it was only after 604 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: like at the very end of the story did people 605 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: start giving a ship and like his approval plummeted. But 606 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: I really think that it doesn't make sense to use 607 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: that as a touchstone anymore because we exist in a 608 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: world where there's just you know, those people who are 609 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 1: saying that they shouldn't have broken the rules are also 610 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,879 Speaker 1: saying you can't trust the media. And the whole thing 611 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: has worked like by having Fox News having something on 612 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 1: the right that is, you know, not telling the truth 613 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: and that is basically a propaganda machine, and opposing that 614 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: to the mainstream media that is focused on telling the 615 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: truth without any bias, the mainstream media becomes the left 616 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 1: and people are actually you know buying that. It seems like, 617 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,760 Speaker 1: and I don't know, I really think that this story 618 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,839 Speaker 1: has been an illustration of the fact that we don't 619 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 1: have a solution to that problem. There's no way to 620 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: combat Fox News other than to create a Fox News 621 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: for the left, because I just don't think they're But 622 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 1: how would more or less what's the propaganda would work? 623 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: I mean, Current TV didn't work. I worked there about 624 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 1: to say that, right, yeah, exactly, so I don't I 625 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: don't even know if that's the answer, you know, and 626 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: too Miles point that these comments are also coming from 627 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: a younger generation. You know, these are people who grew 628 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: up on blogs, not necessarily newspapers, and grew up on Facebook, 629 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: and they believe fake news is a real thing and 630 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: a real problem. I don't know how we combat that, right, Yeah, 631 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: I don't either. We've tried Air America didn't work. And 632 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: do you think podcasts are sort of a solution. But 633 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: that's really the only place you're seeing a consistent voice 634 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: that people are paying attention to. That is sort of combating. 635 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,760 Speaker 1: But even then, you got like the Ben Shapiro shows 636 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 1: like at the top of the news charts too, so 637 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: that you know there's no the writer is doing a 638 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,399 Speaker 1: good job of inoculating their base too. Yeah. I mean 639 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: one of the ways people have been trying to combat 640 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 1: this or you know, express their outrage over this is 641 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: people who are showrunners for Fox shows, like on the 642 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: entertainment side. Uh you know Seth McFarlane, the Family Guy dude, 643 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 1: and Family Guy Dude, and the show runner for a 644 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: Modern Family which airs on not Fox, I think it 645 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: airs on ABC. But I think it's student there, you know, 646 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 1: at least expressing some outrage. But I don't know what 647 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: that's necessarily doing. Well. I think I think it does matter. Um, 648 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: you know, because the bottom line is what matters to 649 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 1: company at this point. And sadly though in this country 650 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: you also have to have money. Those are the people 651 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: who really have the power because clearly we can only 652 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,919 Speaker 1: do so much, like with our boycotting or like demonstrating. 653 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: But you know what really moves the needle is this 654 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 1: idea that like, oh, we're going to hurt the bottom 655 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: line bottom line, and and that's really and it's all 656 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: that matters. And it's as long as we know that, 657 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 1: it's fine. So it's like, let's think about how we 658 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: can hurt the body exactly Like I mean, there should 659 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 1: be just a full on boycott on everybody who advertised 660 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 1: on Fox after this week and like the crazy nonsense 661 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,359 Speaker 1: that they were talking today and trying to give their 662 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: viewers like the help to rationalize why this evil ship 663 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,319 Speaker 1: was worthwhile. This is now like when we're getting into 664 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,760 Speaker 1: the kind of rhetoric that even like Tucker Carlson was spewing, 665 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 1: which was just like this dehumanizing of immigrants and kind 666 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: of like being like they're irreversibly changing our culture and 667 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: ship like that, this sort of white nationalism that is 668 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 1: just it's it's dangerous. And Carlson was talking about how 669 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,280 Speaker 1: you know, these people want us to worry about immigrant 670 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 1: children instead of our children, which like, oh, who are 671 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,320 Speaker 1: we versus who are they? They use this us and 672 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 1: then again and it's I mean, it's also just there's 673 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 1: a complete disc like those two things don't have anything 674 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: to do with each other. And also can we talk 675 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 1: about the fact that the right isn't taking care of 676 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,919 Speaker 1: our children either, right, well, it's doing nothing to show 677 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: child The one thing that we've seen is that the 678 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: GOP has fully invested in the white supremacist capitalist patriarchy platform. 679 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 1: You know, they want to ensure that the country stays 680 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 1: as white as possible. They clue, really have no regard 681 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 1: for women, mothers, especially at the border. Uh. And the 682 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: capitalism side of this whole thing is really, you know, disturbing, 683 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 1: because if you think about it, there were so many 684 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: opportunities for Republicans to fix this and they just didn't. 685 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,359 Speaker 1: Why because of this whole idea of this white supremacist 686 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: capitalist world we live in this government that we're operating in. 687 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: So the President could have easily just ended it before 688 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 1: having to do do this an executive order. He could just 689 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,280 Speaker 1: told Jeff Sessions, yo, my guy, we're not doing this anymore. 690 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: But he didn't do that. He said that the Democrats 691 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,800 Speaker 1: blah blah blah, and just was just obscuring the facts. 692 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: The Republicans in the House could have introduced a narrow 693 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: bill that was just specifically about this, and it would 694 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: have passed overwhelmingly from all the reporting, like everyone's like, yeah, 695 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: we'll vote for that, that's fine. But they tried to 696 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: sneak it in with some other immigration stuff to make 697 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 1: our immigration yeah exactly. One GOP senator could have said, 698 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 1: I'm voting with the Democrats for any further confirmations you 699 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 1: want to push through Mitch McConnell and guess what, at 700 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 1: that point, you're gonna have some trouble, and that would 701 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,400 Speaker 1: have forced Mitch McConnell to deal to Republican could have 702 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: said we're gonna caucus with Democrats now and change the 703 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,280 Speaker 1: Senate math and Mr McConnell would have effectively been minority 704 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 1: leader at that point. But no one did it. Not 705 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 1: even these people like Jeff Flake and Bob Corgrey were 706 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: talking all that ship like once they figured out they 707 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: were going to retire, and they want to be like, oh, 708 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: there is gussing. I would never do it. They were silent. 709 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:19,759 Speaker 1: They did they I mean silent in the sense that 710 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,800 Speaker 1: they said cool stuff and tweeted, but it's silent and 711 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: they didn't do anything. Yeah, and it's not really surprising 712 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: when you look at both of those men have taken 713 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,399 Speaker 1: money from private prison companies, which are the group who 714 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 1: is really actually, you know, really profiting off of this 715 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 1: whole thing, because at the end of the day, you know, 716 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 1: there are people who, as I said, I seen the comments, 717 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 1: they are completely confused there like, well, I don't know 718 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 1: about the news. This could be fake, you know, this 719 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 1: could be propaganda, Like they should go wherever like that, 720 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 1: They're not my problem. This is all just you know, 721 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: confusion that is sown from the top to make people 722 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 1: fight with each other, because really it's about these companies 723 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 1: and whoever two can make a profit off of, you know, 724 00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:01,359 Speaker 1: commodifying the immigration issue. Um and when you look at 725 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 1: just the fact about it, like it's no surprise. So 726 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: like in the week following the election, stock prices for 727 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: the country's two biggest prison companies rose by around thirty 728 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: mostly because the promise came from the Trump administration that 729 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,800 Speaker 1: they weren't going to do what the Obama administration did anymore, 730 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 1: which was moving away from doing business with private prison companies. 731 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 1: Like as of August, nearly three quarters of the average 732 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 1: daily immigration detainee population was held in facilities operated by 733 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 1: one of these private prison companies. And also private prison corporations, 734 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 1: they lobby on immigration and immigrant detention issues that affect 735 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 1: their bottom line, so they like to lobby around a 736 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 1: lot of the policy. So this one company, Core Civic, 737 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: they spent nine point seven million dollars, which was basically 738 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:49,959 Speaker 1: six of total private prison lobbying expenditures that year where 739 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:53,239 Speaker 1: they were lobbying directly that to the DHS Appropriation Subcommittee, 740 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: which maintains all the immigrant detention quota language and shapes 741 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 1: the way sort of that all these laws are interpreted. 742 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: So they know, the more they can put their hands 743 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 1: all over these laws, they can ensure things like you know, 744 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,879 Speaker 1: minimum detainees and things like that to keep their profits high. 745 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 1: Now when you actually look at sort of how much 746 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,879 Speaker 1: money they've made over like the last few years, I mean, 747 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 1: the profits are astronomical, just in the in the last 748 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 1: few years. And again, the two biggest private prison companies, 749 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 1: Cours Civic and the ge O Group, they dominate this 750 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,879 Speaker 1: whole industry and they I think run of the detention center. 751 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 1: So these are the people who are really this is 752 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,239 Speaker 1: the reason why Trump is also like I'm not going 753 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: to divert any judicial resources to this to address the 754 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,359 Speaker 1: backlog of cases that need to be heard because if 755 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 1: you keep them in longer, then there's more money to 756 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 1: be made by these companies. Uh. And like the executive 757 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 1: Order doesn't get in the way of any of that 758 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:47,400 Speaker 1: because it's just holding families there indefinitely. So these you know, 759 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 1: private prison companies will still do it. And I also 760 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 1: want to say, throughout all of this Democrats, their hands 761 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 1: are not clean either. And all of this, you know, 762 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: Clinton expanded mandatory immigration to tension in the number of 763 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:02,280 Speaker 1: family detention beds went from dozens to over three thousand 764 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:08,239 Speaker 1: under Obama's administration. You know, he even defended his unaccompanied 765 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,239 Speaker 1: minor policies by saying stuff like, hey, well, don't send 766 00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 1: your kids here because they'll get sent back. Like, we 767 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 1: have to just sort of begin to change the conversations 768 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,239 Speaker 1: we have around this issue, because this is like we're 769 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,719 Speaker 1: just creating a new population, a new prison population for 770 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: these companies to profit off. It already had to have 771 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 1: been really bad for the Trump administration to go like 772 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 1: one click worse and suddenly it's like a human rights 773 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,880 Speaker 1: like violation, that's where we were. We were already in 774 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 1: a bad position. So you know, they are able to 775 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: pull out Obama administration ship because the Obama administration wasn't 776 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 1: great on this. But no, it doesn't mean that going 777 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:50,400 Speaker 1: one click worse is unacceptable outcome. No, No, there are 778 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of demonstrations this weekend. I 779 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 1: hope people get out there because this is really the 780 00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,799 Speaker 1: time when just as Americans like we have to really 781 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:01,759 Speaker 1: be vigilant about this kind of thing because it's a 782 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,759 Speaker 1: slow boil into a country we don't even recognize. Who 783 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 1: knows what it's gonna look like six months from now, 784 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,600 Speaker 1: what we've what we've let slide and exactly. And like 785 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,799 Speaker 1: I said, I just hope that people remember it, and 786 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 1: especially if people do get out there and demonstrate this weekend. 787 00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 1: I don't want people to go out. I mean my 788 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,319 Speaker 1: issue with demonstrators is always are you going out for 789 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,840 Speaker 1: like Instagram that that you're that you're going going to 790 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 1: especially and I saw that so much with the Women's March. 791 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 1: It was kind of disgusting. Um, And don't go out 792 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 1: just to get the likes, but go out and then 793 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 1: follow up and do something and remember that this happened. 794 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,360 Speaker 1: Because going back to talking about memory, right, our memories 795 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 1: are both fallible and they're fleeting right now, and right 796 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,840 Speaker 1: now is the time that we have to be vigilant. Yeah, 797 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 1: And if and when you're at those marches, if there 798 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 1: are people, if they're organizations, community action groups that are 799 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,239 Speaker 1: out there saying hey, do you want to sign up? 800 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:56,760 Speaker 1: Sign up? Because all of these community organizations they need 801 00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:00,239 Speaker 1: people to show up in physical space to help to 802 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,040 Speaker 1: volunteer and do those things. And that's really, you know, 803 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,640 Speaker 1: that's really an important step in participating in all of this. 804 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 1: It's not just about, yes, showing up to demonstration is great, 805 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 1: but we also do have to put in our time 806 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,640 Speaker 1: as much as we can to you know, to help. 807 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 1: And on the social media front, I mean, I I 808 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:21,239 Speaker 1: really do think the idea of boycott of Fox News advertisers. 809 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,279 Speaker 1: I mean, like you were saying, there are all these 810 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:27,279 Speaker 1: ways in which the other side is making money off 811 00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,000 Speaker 1: of these human rights outrages, and so we need to 812 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 1: find ways to make it less profitable for people to 813 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 1: you know, abuse people. Also, Microsoft, they're like, yeah, we 814 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 1: we're helping Ice use the cloud to make faster decisions 815 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 1: on how to deport children. So yeah, I mean I 816 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,560 Speaker 1: would rather see someone instagram hey I'm boycotting this advertiser, 817 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,520 Speaker 1: I'm boycotting this company, rather than instagramming like an adorable, 818 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 1: well filtered picture of you with your cute sign. I mean, yes, 819 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 1: go out there and make your sign, but like actually 820 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,840 Speaker 1: post something that is meaningful. I mean yeah, like like 821 00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,040 Speaker 1: especially like Laura Ingram, like on her show when you 822 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:01,880 Speaker 1: try to call these kids actors and said that they 823 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 1: were in basically essentially summer camps.

I just I think I need to 876 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:24,160 Speaker 1: know more about what their criteria. Yeah, exactly all. Bully 877 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 1: was one of the best restaurants for so long in 878 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,920 Speaker 1: Spain and I just went to their new restaurant, Tickets, 879 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 1: which is in Barcelona, and that's on there. It was. 880 00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,640 Speaker 1: It was indeed fantastic because it was like a Circus 881 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,479 Speaker 1: of Food. Really, because it's only thirty two on this list. 882 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:44,680 Speaker 1: I'm surprised that that impressed you. And just behind I thought, well, 883 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,719 Speaker 1: I thought tickets was way better than than Blue Hill 884 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,279 Speaker 1: at Stone Barns. Okay, so we need to we need 885 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,320 Speaker 1: to do some investigating who these people? Yeah. I feel 886 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:56,200 Speaker 1: like also there's this sort of thing where these are 887 00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,759 Speaker 1: like a whole type of experience where it is an 888 00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,719 Speaker 1: experience that's going there restaurants like there's like all these 889 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 1: people waiting on you and it's just like, I don't know. 890 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,759 Speaker 1: There are also really good restaurants that are like hole 891 00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,839 Speaker 1: in the wall tak areas, and which I think are 892 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,480 Speaker 1: the best restaurants. It's the hole in the wall tak area. 893 00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,000 Speaker 1: It's more of a surprise too, when you're like, oh 894 00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:18,719 Speaker 1: my god, I'm having religious experience in this shipping container. Right. Yeah. Well, 895 00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,800 Speaker 1: and my thing. And you know, I was a travel 896 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,560 Speaker 1: writer for a long time too, and people are like, 897 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,160 Speaker 1: how do you find great restaurants? Do you look at 898 00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,240 Speaker 1: these lists? And I'm like, funck No. I asked taxi drivers, 899 00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 1: you know, like taxi drivers nowhere to eat at all 900 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,960 Speaker 1: hours of the day and night, and they know what's 901 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,279 Speaker 1: cheap and what's good and how to stretch your dollar 902 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,960 Speaker 1: in a different country. And so I stopped paying attention 903 00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,359 Speaker 1: to these silly lists. Yeah, I feel like the hole 904 00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,680 Speaker 1: in the wall tak areas. Marketing teams tend to be 905 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:53,160 Speaker 1: less sophisticated than uh, you know, these crazy five tables exactly. Um, 906 00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 1: there are new EU rules on Internet copyright that could 907 00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 1: basically mean a meme ban. Yes, so the European Parliament 908 00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,160 Speaker 1: in their Legal Affairs Committee, they basically approved a new 909 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 1: set of copyright rules which which includes this one segment 910 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,880 Speaker 1: of it that basically some critics are saying it's like 911 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:18,800 Speaker 1: it will create a meme ban essentially. So this article 912 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,000 Speaker 1: thirteen I would make Internet platforms like Facebook and Twitter 913 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 1: they are now responsible from preventing user from uploading copyrighted 914 00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:28,400 Speaker 1: material or content to the site. So they'll basically have 915 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 1: filters like they do on YouTube to keep out copyrighted material. 916 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,320 Speaker 1: So a lot of these critics are saying that they're 917 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:39,319 Speaker 1: essentially going to end like memes because they use copyrighted material. 918 00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,840 Speaker 1: So you won't see distracted boyfriend or SpongeBob or whatever 919 00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,640 Speaker 1: the other will they communicate I don't know, And I'm 920 00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:49,000 Speaker 1: panicking boyfriend. Yeah, I mean I distracted boyfriend. Is it's 921 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,799 Speaker 1: that meme? But yes, they yeah, there are a lot 922 00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,520 Speaker 1: of people like this. This is gonna be insane because 923 00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:56,600 Speaker 1: it's gonna keep us from doing this kind of Internet 924 00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:00,839 Speaker 1: culture stuff. Which makes sense that but in a European accent. Yes, yes, 925 00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:07,120 Speaker 1: which is that good American Deformation League, please call it 926 00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:11,520 Speaker 1: Jack so they yeah, so you know, we'll see what happens. 927 00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,000 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people proponents of this are like, oh, 928 00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,520 Speaker 1: they're overreacting, But I think there's also a good case 929 00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,319 Speaker 1: to say, like, oh, you're we're also seeing like just 930 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,160 Speaker 1: automated policing of like internet activity to where like I 931 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,840 Speaker 1: don't see how posting a distracted boyfriend meme is taking 932 00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,080 Speaker 1: money out of someone's pocket. It's absolutely not no, and 933 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,200 Speaker 1: I'm I'm the automated policing isn't what we need. That's 934 00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:34,640 Speaker 1: not the answer your internet companies. I mean we yes, 935 00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:39,680 Speaker 1: we need thoughtful change from companies like Facebook and Twitter, 936 00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,160 Speaker 1: and we don't just need a I bots right right 937 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,600 Speaker 1: to do the work for them. My accent was supposed 938 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:51,759 Speaker 1: to be a London accent, by the way, not safe, mate, Well, 939 00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,399 Speaker 1: I think that's everything right.

Okay, wow, So it's your 942 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,520 Speaker 1: boy mist here with the World Cup date. Uh. Starting 943 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,759 Speaker 1: off with a few stories, Yes, to start off the 944 00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:14,360 Speaker 1: World Cup Day. First, I want to talk about some 945 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,480 Speaker 1: of the results this morning. Portugal proved that they are 946 00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,600 Speaker 1: a one man team and overly reliant on Christiano Ronaldo, 947 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,359 Speaker 1: because were it not for his contributions, I don't think 948 00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,640 Speaker 1: the team would be capable of doing much. Has he 949 00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:29,120 Speaker 1: scored all their goals so far? Yes, he has. He 950 00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,600 Speaker 1: scored three in the first game and then one today. 951 00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,759 Speaker 1: Shout out to him, he's got four goals. At the 952 00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,120 Speaker 1: same time, the way they played against Morocco was very 953 00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:41,319 Speaker 1: uninspired to say the least. Uh, and Morocco deserved to 954 00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,920 Speaker 1: win that game, but sadly they lost and so that 955 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 1: will be their last match.

Now 985 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:15,040 Speaker 1: onto more problematic things. Russian burger king. They're so which 986 00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:22,640 Speaker 1: already sounds. They had a very weird social media campaign 987 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,279 Speaker 1: where they were saying, hey, ladies of Russia, if you 988 00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,759 Speaker 1: get knocked up by a professional soccer player, we will 989 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,120 Speaker 1: give you three million rubles, which is like forty seven 990 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:34,640 Speaker 1: dollars and free whoppers for life and are people were like, yo, 991 00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:37,439 Speaker 1: what the fund is this? Uh? And it came down 992 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,399 Speaker 1: pretty quickly and they're saying like we're really, we really 993 00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:44,399 Speaker 1: apologize for this. Seven thousand's not that much money. Yeah, 994 00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:50,040 Speaker 1: but withers for life. I would definitely double whoppers.

I mean yeah, 997 00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,759 Speaker 1: with the wage income gap is a chasm. I'm sure 998 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,719 Speaker 1: forty seven dollars go. It was a long way, but yeah, 999 00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:07,759 Speaker 1: that's a very you know that's cool, is struggling with population, 1000 00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,040 Speaker 1: you know, keeping their population where they wanted to be, 1001 00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:17,239 Speaker 1: and they've created a holiday that is basically Valentine's Day 1002 00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:20,680 Speaker 1: but for fucking and like recreate, like procreation. But they 1003 00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:23,400 Speaker 1: also don't love immigrants. So are they saying they want 1004 00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 1: you to have sex with only Russian soccer players? They 1005 00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:29,400 Speaker 1: were fine with that part. I know there was a 1006 00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,720 Speaker 1: woman who like a member of parliament and a Russian 1007 00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:33,720 Speaker 1: government who was like, don't get in the little foreigners, 1008 00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,360 Speaker 1: right exactly? Yeah, So I mean the whole thing is 1009 00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,360 Speaker 1: very confusing. Yeah, I mean that's who should I have 1010 00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,480 Speaker 1: sex with? Russia?
