Speaker 1: got there and by there I mean too you know,

6
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: a thing that doesn't really make sense.

7
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: By there, we mean an end of a sentence. And

8
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:29,960

Speaker 1: Two hours into recording together for the day.

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, So that's why it sounds weird. Not

14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 4: because we secretly hate each other, we really love each other.

15
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: Because this is you say that.

16
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 3: I told you not to say that. Okay, sorry, damn

17
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 3: it anyway.

18
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: Ruins the illusion, the illuse trent, the loose trends we got.

19
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't. This is gonna be the whole episode.

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: I've had a cough for like six weeks. Yeah, I've

21
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: had one, like a wet cough too.

22
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: Joel had one. I mean I might have one. I

23
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: don't know.

24
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 4: I was gonna ask justin if if it's subsided. Everyone's

25
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 4: got this like for me, it's all like post nasal drip,

26
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 4: tickling my throat from the allergies.

27
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: Tickling thems vocal cords. But anyway, let's tell the people

28
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: about some things that are trending. There's there's a new

29
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: thing happening on in the world of I guess tech

30
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: and the right. But shakespeare skepticism mainly.

31
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 3: That Shakespeare was good.

32
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: It's not that like Shakespeare like didn't exist or he was,

33
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of different writers. It's like, what

34
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: you think Shakespeare good? I mean, let me hit you

35
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: with some Baysian with the Baysian priors on that, my dude.

36
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

37
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: So there's a new book by Michael Lewis where he

38
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: was kicking it with Sam bankmin Free during the collapse

39
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: of his empire, and I'll I'll just quote from the

40
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: book to Sam's way of thinking. The case against Shakespeare

41
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: could be made with basic statistics.

42
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, I could.

43
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: And this is from him. I could go on and

44
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: on about the failings of Shakespeare, but really I shouldn't

45
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: need to. The Baysian priors are pretty damning. About half

46
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: the people born since sixteen hundred have been born in

47
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: the past hundred years. But it gets much worse than that.

48
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: When Shakespeare wrote, almost all Europeans were busy farming and

49
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: very few people attended university. Few people were even literate,

50
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: probably as low as ten million people. By contrast, they're

51
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: now upwards of a billion literate people in the Western sphere.

52
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: What are the odds that the greatest writer would have

53
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: been born in fifteen sixty four? The Bayesian priors aren't

54
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: very favorable. God, they love they love a Bayesian fucking prior,

55
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: don't they?

56
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, they love Baysian statistical and analysis.

57
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 2: Dude, they're like, yes, you know what I mean.

58
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 3: This sucks so bad.

59
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: I mean, like it's it's a great speech about like

60
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: isn't it amazing that Shakespeare was such.

61
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: An incredible writer like he might yet at a.

62
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: Time when like it's it's so wild that he was

63
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: like just so incredible with like that that like our

64
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: greatest writer lived at this time. It's a real like

65
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: anomaly and it doesn't make sense. But clearly he lived,

66
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, he wrote, and everybody, like most people who

67
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: are literate agree his ship is pretty good. And instead

68
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: he's like, so therefore he must suck. He must just

69
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: not be good if he listens.

70
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 4: Sorry, that's how you just look at the world. You're

71
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 4: like weird rigid statistical analysis. No wonder you're into effective

72
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 4: altruism because there's no such thing for just God. I mean,

73
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 4: I don't sure I'm Shakespeare fine, I'm not a fan

74
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 4: or a hater. I'm like, yeah, oh yeah, cool Shakespeare.

75
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 4: But like the idea that like cool Shakespeare. Oh cool Shakespeare. Sure, man,

76
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 4: if that's what you're into. But like the arrogance people

77
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 4: being like this is just not that good, like come

78
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 4: on whatever, or like I could do that really.

79
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 3: Richard Hannania, who is guy. He's a writer.

80
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: He's the author of like some books about the woke mob.

81
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: I think is mainly like.

82
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: What origins of woke?

83
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 3: His origins of woke?

84
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: President of CSPI Center or who the fuck knows what

85
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: that is.

86
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 4: The Center for the Study of Partisanship in Ideology former

87
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 4: UT Austin.

88
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: Huh, I wonder what happened when at UT Austin. Anyways,

89
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: he has come through and said, pretty sure, if you

90
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: gave me a year, I could write Shakespeare quality work,

91
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: Like if someone hadn't read all of Shakespeare and you

92
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: randomly gave them me or him on average, they couldn't

93
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,119
Speaker 1: tell the difference. Of course, without the blind test, people

94
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: would pretend it wasn't as good. I don't have time,

95
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: of course. Okay, so I don't think I'm gonna do it.

96
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: But if someone wanted.

97
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 3: To, so I could write Shakespeare quality work. But I

98
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 3: don't have time.

99
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: Oh okay, it's such a great dude, that's the same thing.

100
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: Was just be fucking boring.

101
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 4: This is such rage a with the fucking glasses being

102
00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: broken energy, Yeah, go ahead, these are indestructible glasses. Break Yeah,

103
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 4: I dare they can't break. And then when they do it,

104
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 4: I don't care do it.

105
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 3: I don't care.

106
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: I have time.

107
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: Like, oh, okay, this guy also too.

108
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 4: As I read more about his book, well, this guy's

109
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 4: a fucking trash white supremacist man. He's talking about like

110
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 4: the fucking Civil Rights like act. It was like the

111
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 4: origins of the downfall of America.

112
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:19,679
Speaker 3: Complete.

113
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, gay, but hey, I'd love to see you try.

114
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not even out here.

115
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 4: I'm like, dude, I couldn't write a fucking sound it

116
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 4: if I wanted to, yeah, because my brain isn't in

117
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 4: that space. But I bet I could smoke a more

118
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 4: weed than Shakespeare. I'd be a better battle rapper than

119
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 4: William Shakespeare.

120
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: Oh man, way do you see uh lin Manuel Miranda's

121
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: Shakespeare biopic?

122
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: That's could it shot?

123
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 4: Like those YouTube like rap battle videos where it's like

124
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 4: a whole like there's like a whole cipher of people.

125
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 3: And he's like, oh, next, big Bill.

126
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 2: With the fucking ruffled collar and ship.

127
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: Big Willie shaky spear is uh. Dan O'Brien once called

128
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: him in a column, and I've never forgotten Big Willie

129
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: shaky spear, shaky spear. All right, Kevin McCarthy, We're not

130
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: We're not through with him yet, folks.

131
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: Nope.

132
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: First of all, he's claiming that what what happened in Israel,

133
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: uh is probably gonna happen in the United States when

134
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: you look at the dang border right here on there,

135
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: And have you.

136
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 4: Seen, dude, that was another huge misinformation ship that goring there,

137
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 4: Like oh yeah, like Hamas is activating terrorist cells in

138
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 4: the United States because.

139
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: Of the poorest southern border.

140
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 3: Uh huh.

141
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 4: Like it was so weird to see people share like

142
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 4: potential like warnings but not give detail or like if

143
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 4: you actually care about people, wouldn't you like alert people?

144
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 4: Or you're just saying like I've heard some weird stuff

145
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 4: and it's all because of the border.

146
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 3: That's right.

147
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 4: We found we found a way to make it about

148
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 4: everything else again.

149
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 3: But anyway.

150
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: He also doesn't know when to quit, and is saying

151
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: that he might be open to reclaiming the post from

152
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,920

00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: Well rock He's like, I'm gonna throw in the towel

161
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: and he's like, we're not You're not right. Yeah yeah,

162
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: that's maybe the big big energy of like no towel, no,

163
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: no towel. You're like, oh, sir, buddy, okay, but like

164
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: but I'm not rooting for you, so in a way

165
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, go ahead, yeah, yeah, yeah, no towel,

166
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: no towel. Right, right, Actually, get up, get on up,

167
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: Get on up, James Brown.

168
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 2: Come on now, let's see it.

169
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 3: Show the intro music for Apollo Creed entering the room.

170
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: That's okay, so we've got something here.

171
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 3: Woke, get on up, all right, Kevin McCarthy.

172
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: So he floated the possibility on Monday that he might

173
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: be open to reclaiming the post, summoned reporters to Capitol

174
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: Hill to lay out a plan to defend Israel and

175
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: rescue American captives, and it just felt like he was

176
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: still trying to interview for the job that he just.

177
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's like truly has that energy of like

178
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 4: dress for the job that you want, right even though

179
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 4: you don't have it where it's like, okay, you might

180
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 4: say that, but we already saw who the news speaker is.

181
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: It's the little guy with the with the boat tie

182
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: who likes to do smash. He smashed with the gavel.

183
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, does her gabble anymore?

184
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: Like is that his thing? Maybe?

185
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: No.

186
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 3: I think they're on a recess right now.

187
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: They may be coming back.

188
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 4: But again, it's also just another complication because as much

189
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 4: as you know, like any kind of aid package that

190
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 4: would potentially go to Israel like has to be you know,

191
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 4: what Congress would need to vote on that, but without

192
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 4: a speaker and like it being in dis like it

193
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 4: makes things a little bit sticky.

194
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, this is it's a lot. There's a lot

195
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 2: going on.

196
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 4: There's a lot going on, and Kevin McCarthy just doesn't

197
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 4: know when to I mean maybe he does know.

198
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 2: It would be so.

199
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 4: Wild if he was able to regain the speakership. That

200
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 4: would just make their republic like somehow No, there's no

201
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 4: way they can look more clowny or unseerious at this point,

202
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 4: so it would be predictable at this point.

203
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really feels like one of those things where like, wait, yeah,

204
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: have you ever known somebody who like that they're trying

205
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: to break up with someone, Like they break up with

206
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: them for like a minute, and then like it's just like, oh,

207
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: they're going to get back together, even though really I

208
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: feel like.

209
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 4: They say they break up all the time, it's not

210
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 4: even fucking real. Dude, Yeah, just said the next wedding, So.

211
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 3: Let's be honest about our conference.

212
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: Is our conference just going to elect somebody to throw

213
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: them out in another thirty five days, That's what he

214
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: told reporters. So like, I don't want the job back,

215
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: but like, come on, sure, if you get somebody else

216
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: isn't the same hang on her home runs, just putting

217
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: it out there. All right, let's take a quick break,

218
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. We'll be back, and we're back,

219
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: We're back, and yeah, so, uh, you know, there's a

220
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: lot of there's like viral tweets going around that I

221
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: keep seeing like people being like you should reach out

222
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: to your Jewish friends and like let them know that

223
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: you care about them and that you stand if it

224
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: is real, And I don't.

225
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 3: Know, I guess it's never a bad idea to let somebody.

226
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: Know that you're there for them if they're going through

227
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: a difficult time as the implied, and let them know

228
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: you stand with Israel. That is getting lumped in. It

229
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: feels disingenuous and fucked up. But yeah, like I think

230
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 1: we all hope our Jewish friends know we stand with

231
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: them in opposition to anti Semitism and the slaughter of

232
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: innocent people, and hope they would stand with us in

233
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: opposition to white supremacy and the slaughter of yeah, I

234
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: mean Palestinian people.

235
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 4: Like I think it's a little I don't know if

236
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 4: it's like the same kind of like binary right in

237
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 4: just like so many people are experiencing this in from

238
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 4: so many different perspectives, whether you're like come from an

239
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: oppressed form or colonized society, community culture that is looking

240
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 4: at it this way, from people who have friends or

241
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 4: family in Israel who are just absolutely aghast at like

242
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 4: how horrific the violence is. I think the thing that's

243
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 4: really alarming for me is how much the media airwave

244
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: battle is being won by Israel and their interests, because

245
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 4: I'm seeing so many things that is just casually saying

246
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 4: the most dehumanizing language, Like Marco Rubio, he is not

247
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 4: able to differentiate between Hamas and Palistine Indian people living

248
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 4: in Gaza. He's like the way that like Palestinians are

249
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 4: even being all lumped in this together as a way

250
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 4: to be like, yeah, like they need to be eradicated,

251
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 4: And you're like, who, I'm just saying Gaza, it's got

252
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 4: to like it. That's what's really freaking me out, Like

253
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 4: the momentum at which we're just accepting violence around this

254
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 4: whole thing and not actually trying to understand like how

255
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 4: this can how we can like overcome anything, if there's

256
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 4: any sort of solution here, and just rather than being

257
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 4: like yeah, so that terrible thing happens. So I guess

258
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 4: now just have to destroy a city where the median

259
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 4: age is like eighteen because like almost children, Yeah, almost

260
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 4: half of the people that live there are are children

261
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 4: in Gaza.

262
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the Israeli Defense minister like saying we

263
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: are fighting human animals and we act accordingly in a

264
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: speech where you know, is also saying like we are

265
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: imposing a complete siege on Gaza. There will be no electricity,

266
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: no food, no water, no fuel, everything will be closed.

267
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 3: Like that shit is just like that's like five alarm fire.

268
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: And as that is being said at that time, as

269
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: that press conference was happening, that is when like NBA

270
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: teams are coming up like making statements about standing with Israel,

271
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: and you know, the President of the United States, it's

272
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: taught making statements about standing with Israel, and yeah, it

273
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: just it feels like, I don't know, the same thing

274
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: is not being said about standing with innocent Palestinian people

275
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: being slaughtered.

276
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 4: No, no, And I think that's that's what's a little

277
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 4: bit weird, is I mean not weird like we were

278
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 4: saying before America, especially American media, because we also have

279
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 4: our colonial history.

280
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: It's just like a dimension that isn't spoken about.

281
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 4: Like so many things I see like on CNNMSNBC are

282
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 4: like the like horrific violence committed by Hamas. So now

283
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 4: like that rhetorically feels like therefore every person in Gaza's

284
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 4: fair game to die. And that is where like you're like,

285
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 4: we're completely losing sight of everything. But I don't know

286
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 4: if what I expect because America's you know, like again

287
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 4: they're steadfast to send whatever is needed there. I don't

288
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 4: know at what point America gets involved. I know you

289
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 4: hear like the punditry class talk about it's like, well,

290
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 4: this is where this is Joe Biden's moment where he

291
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 4: has to project power and he has to project the

292
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 4: authority of the United States. And I'm like, this is

293
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 4: such a weird calculus about Joe Biden's reelection that like

294
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 4: it's going to be all this like bluster talk when

295
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 4: we're talking about so many innocent people, like the people

296
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 4: of Israel are bearing the brunt of the foreign policy

297
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 4: decisions of their government, and the people of Palestine also

298
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 4: are caught up in this mix too, And then you

299
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 4: have people like Marco Ruby was like there's no off

300
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 4: ramp for this. There's no off ramp for this. Yeah,

301
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 4: and that inevitability I think is really disturbing and not

302
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 4: taking into again like the like how different it is

303
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 4: like this, Like again, like the defenseman was saying, they

304
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 4: have the ability to cut off power and water and

305
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 4: food to Gaza. That is that is asymmetrical.

306
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: Uh, Like I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to do

307
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: that to yes, yes, and people to non military.

308
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 4: A civilian population again, and the argument will be is

309
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 4: like that that I've heard people say that, like the

310
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 4: people in Gaza should have known that Hamas was going

311
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 4: to do this, Therefore they're complicit and we're it's just

312
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 4: like it's wild how even on the other side. And

313
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 4: and then but then you now see like more you

314
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 4: see increased Islamophobia, you see increased anti Semitism, right, and

315
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 4: all that rhetoric is just like spiraling in a way

316
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 4: that like I'm it's just this just looks like it's

317
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 4: it's just going to get worse and worse and worse,

318
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 4: Like for the entire region.

319
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: I think we can all agree to be against the

320
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: murdering of children and innocent.

321
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 2: Across the board. It doesn't seem like too hortic, but

322
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 2: that I don't know.

323
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, but again, that's that's why I'm like, uh, I,

324
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 4: there's so much like this conflict is so loaded and

325
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 4: there's so much tension around it that like one sentence

326
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 4: can be perceived like eight hundred different ways depending on

327
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 4: your worldview. And I think that's also a really dangerous

328
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 4: thing because it's it's also like it's just creating even

329
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 4: increased conflict between I'm even seeing it like in Instagram

330
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 4: posts between people like that we're not really political, but anyway,

331
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 4: I'm we're just here watching in awe and then I'm

332
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 4: just left here thinking of like even the United States

333
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 4: place and all of this, and it's all, fuck, it's

334
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 4: we're all we're all so connected in this way that's

335
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 4: really unavoidable.

336
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I like, innocent children, innocent people have been

337
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: being killed on the Palestinian side for a long time

338
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: and it was just being ignored. So like that's when

339
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: people are like, you know, call your friends on this side,

340
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 1: not that side. It's like, well, you know, that doesn't

341
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: that doesn't really make sense to me, And it does

342
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: seem like I can see how like something that seems

343
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: well intentioned like that can feel like a fuck you

344
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: to one's side, you know.

345
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 4: The sort of like both sides of it too isn't helpful.

346
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 4: But again, I think like everyone is trying to point

347
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 4: out like that what is important to them in this instance.

348
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 4: But we're we're looking at a situation that from the beginning,

349
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 4: we're just seeing that the violence begets more violence, yeah,

350
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 4: and more destruction, and it's poisoning everyone at the end

351
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 4: of the day. But this is what happens when people

352
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 4: are colonized or occupied. It will fucking destroy you as

353
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 4: a person. Yea, Like when the place that you believe

354
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 4: you live, the country you believe you have, is gone.

355
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 4: That does things that most American people don't understand either.

356
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 4: And I think there's also like a very there's a

357
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,719
Speaker 4: unique American ignorance that I see like applied to all

358
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 4: of this too, that people just look at it through

359
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 4: like the perspective of whatever they know, which is really

360
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 4: narrow in the context of shit that can happen to

361
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 4: you as a human being on planet Earth. Like you know,

362
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 4: we're we live in a place that fortunately has never

363
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 4: had a fucking like ground war, air war like reach

364
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 4: its shores like to the continental mainland, so it's like

365
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 4: an obscure thing, and airstrikes are like, yeah, I don't know,

366
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 4: sirens gone, and I see it on TV without understanding

367
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 4: like what the horror is of that. So yeah, a

368
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 4: lot of people are learning in real time, it feels

369
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 4: like online, which.

370
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 2: Is very, very freaky.

371
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: Yeah. I feel like the United States particularly has the

372
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: muscles built up for ignoring the consequences of like aerial bombardment,

373
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: Like you see a flash of fire and a cloud

374
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: of dust, and that's just a thing that happens on

375
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: the news in a foreign country like that, that's the

376
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: only context that Americans have, And so that's.

377
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 4: When I think that's why the invasion of Ukraine was

378
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 4: like horrifying to a lot of like American people, because

379
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 4: they suddenly saw themselves in the faces of these like

380
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 4: Western European looking people. Yeah, like, oh my god, that's horrifying.

381
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. So yeah, we seem to.

382
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: Come back to white supremacy repeatedly, over and over again. Yeah.

383
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: All right, well, those are some of the things that

384
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: are trending. We are back tomorrow with the whole lest

385
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other,

00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: about white supremacy, and we will talk to y'all tomorrow.

388
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 3: Bite bite
