Speaker 1: she yeah, and she claims she's black to which is

33
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: on top of it. She may have pushed back now,

34
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,560

Speaker 1: was like a cartoon character, like a like a fucking

39
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: wrestling persona. Yeah. So they were part of disgusting Instagram

40
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: and everyone was at the in the beginning, it was

41
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: kind of a funny thing about Little Te because they're like,

42
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: what is this wild nine year old talking about? She

43
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: drives cars and then she kind of things went just character. Yeah.

44
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: So there have been a couple articles sort of catching

45
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: up with Little Te. What uncovering the truth about Little Te.

46
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: People have been doing some internet sleuthing for the past

47
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: like six months. I think she disappeared from the internet

48
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: back in June or something. Um, And it turns out

49
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: she that this is gonna shock people. She is from

50
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: not the most stable parenting situation. Uh her mom is

51
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: uh so the way that she was able to get

52
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: like next all these expensive cars and in these like

53
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: giant mansions, as her mom was a real estate agent

54
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: who was using her boss's car and like these trying

55
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: to sell to like make it look like she had

56
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: all this all this stuff without any kind of actual

57
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: talent or backstory explaining the source of the wealth. Like

58
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: it was never like here all my albums that I've

59
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: put out, it's like I'm Little Te. I'm the youngest

60
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: flex or on Earth, right you yes? And it was

61
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: like okay, fine. So as she became famous, her father

62
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: reached out and who is divorced and was like right,

63
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: but he was also like, you know, he kind of

64
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: has a point in the sense that she's out there

65
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: like saying really offensive ship and she's nine and she

66
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: her mother taken her out of school to pursue this dream.

67
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: And there's actually an incredible video that I think we

68
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 1: have the audio from. Yeah, so a lot of people

69
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: were like this just is very inauthentic. A lot of

70
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: people like her parents are putting her up to this

71
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,559
Speaker 1: or whatever. And then there was there's this video where

72
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: you can clearly here it's her brother off camera essentially

73
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: coaching her to talk all this ship little tybee popping

74
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: on YouTube right now really really be like more ignorant, like,

75
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: oh little te littlete out here, But what did he say?

76
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: She's still irrelevant, Like I said last time, what do

77
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: I say? Oh I know, and it's line yeah, ignorant.

78
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: Bit okay, right, ignorant. She's just a little nine year

79
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: old girl who doesn't know and what the Yeah her

80
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: brother or some family members more like so, yeah, it's

81
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: just as fucked up persona. And Yeah, there's a lot

82
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: of interviews now because people like what happened to her

83
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: Instagram got like hacked, is what they claimed. And all

84
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: of her videos were deleted and then there was just

85
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: like one post that just had helped me, and people

86
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: like what the fund is going on? And then we

87
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: come to find out her father basically like went to

88
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: the equivalent of like child Protective Services in in uh,

89
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: British Columbia and was like had the court order her

90
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: back to Vancouver because like, I can't have my child

91
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: running wild in the streets acting like this. And she's back,

92
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: and it's weird. This is where it gets odd because

93
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: the mother claims that he's just like out to take

94
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: her money, but there really isn't money. Yeah, she's I

95
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,239
Speaker 1: saw the interview. She's claiming both things. First, the father's

96
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: out to take money several questions later, we have made

97
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: no money, right, and also that he's not interested enough

98
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: in her career. So it's like she's both stage mom

99
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: and also claiming that the father is a stage mom

100
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: and then also claiming that they never made any money.

101
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: The mom definitely comes off as you know, it's it's

102
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: obviously just a snapshot, but comes off as somewhat suspicious.

103
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: There's like but the dad doesn't come off great either,

104
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: just in terms of not being involved until now right,

105
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: and then but his thing is like it's weird. It's

106
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: almost like the dad has a better mind to be

107
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: the stage parent than the mom because he's like, I

108
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: had to trade Mark lilta she didn't even trade Mark

109
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: lilt And he's like his whole thing was like, if

110
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna go and do this and make a career

111
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: for her, like at least do the bare minimum from

112
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: a business standpoint, that it's protected and you can actually

113
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: like profit properly off of it. But at the same time,

114
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: it's wait, are your gripes that it wasn't copy written

115
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: or I'm sorry copy they didn't get the copy right.

116
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: Someone on twitters like you can copy written anyway. Little

117
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: miss Elliott said that in a song, so cashim outside um,

118
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: and you know, it seems like that was more of

119
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: the issue. There were also claims that like his sister,

120
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: her aunt or her his cousin had like babysat her

121
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: and just locked her in a closet and she had

122
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: gone for his girlfriend's sister and that was like the

123
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: closest thing that I saw to some kind of abuse,

124
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: but it's no one actually sounds believable in all of it, Like, yeah,

125
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: there's no there's nobody good here that she can go to.

126
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of terrifying there are no good parents, right,

127
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: isn't this scenario? Yeah, it's pretty familiar if you've ever

128
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: been involved with or no people who were involved in

129
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: like a horrible childcare, child custody thing, because it's just

130
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: both sides just using the kid as leverage. And then

131
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: because little Te is with her mom and the thing,

132
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: she's like, yeah, no, the father's bad. I don't want

133
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: to talk about it. And it's just like she calls

134
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: him by her father's last name. His name is Chris Hope,

135
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: and he's like, well, Hope never was interested in blah

136
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: blah blah, and it's right, yeah, so it's just impossible

137
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: to know. I mean, at the end of the day,

138
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: I think the only person is being harmed here is

139
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: Claire what's Littlete's real name? Because she says like she

140
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: can't go to school, But then she's like, I can't

141
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: go to school because I'm too famous, and it's like

142
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: hold on, wait, hold is that the concern or is

143
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: it that you could be bullied at school or is

144
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: it that you are too famous or that one of

145
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: your parents are saying you're too famous and that they

146
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: want you work in full time on your career. Um. Yeah,

147
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna talk a couple of times in

148
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: today's episode about sort of the Internet being an unregulated

149
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: place where these crazy ideas or bad ideas can bubble

150
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: to the surface. And this is one place where the

151
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: fact that there is no bared and tree for fame

152
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: is probably not a great thing because you just exploit

153
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 1: your kid into making them a spectacle and then try

154
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: to make money off of this. Yeah, I mean like

155
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: child stars always existed, Yeah, they did. Yeah, this one

156
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: seems like because they asked her in one of the interviews,

157
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, whose idea was it, and she wasn't really

158
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: convinced it was even her own. She's sort of like, oh,

159
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: I think I wanted to do it around this time.

160
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: It's like my brother thought, we thought we could do it.

161
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: It seems like her brother may have told his mom like, hey,

162
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: maybe there's a way to get really ignorant on Instagram

163
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: and give her some kind of weird fifteen minutes. But

164
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: you know it's so, you know, I hope she can

165
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: grow up to be a healthily functioning adult person, because

166
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: you do not. I'll tell you this, Claire, you don't

167
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: want to go down this little tay road. It is

168
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: not going to last very long. Let's talk about a

169
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: guy who goes by the name of Ra Ra Ra. Okay,

170
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: so one of the characters from the Cohen testimony. So

171
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: there was was the name again Matt Calamari, right who

172
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: everybody was getting real excited over on Twitter. And there

173
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: was another you know, this is sort of in passing,

174
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: but during Michael Cohen's testimony, he mentioned there was a

175
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: scheme where Trump used a straw bidder at an auction

176
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: in the Hampton's of like a bunch of portraits that

177
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: were paintings people, and they hired this man Stewart rr

178
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: R a h R to bid like at the very end.

179
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: So Trump's portrait was going to be auctioned off at

180
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: the the very last item of the auction, and the

181
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: sole purpose of Stuart Roar was to put in the

182
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: highest bid, no matter what the person before you bid,

183
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: just make the highest bid so that Donald Trump's portrait

184
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: sells for the highest possible amount of any other item induction.

185
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's pretty straightforward. It's a it's a disservice

186
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: to schemes to call it a scheme. Just Trump was like, hey,

187
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: rich friends, that make it look like a lot of

188
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: people want to buy my portrait exactly, And eventually this

189
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: man he bid the sixty thousand Trump's thing was the

190
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: highest bid thing mission complete, and he was about it.

191
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: Trump tweeted about it at the time. Yeah, there's like

192
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: a great tweet from back then being like, hey, I

193
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: just heard that apparently my portrait went for the highest

194
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: amount of Yeah, yeah, I didn't know it was in

195
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: the Twitter era. So anyway, this guy Stuart Are so

196
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: a few people started kind of looking into this guy

197
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: and he's fucking he of course he's caught up with

198
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: the Trump's because no one is a regular person who's

199
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: in this orbit. His First of all, he has a

200
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: k s like us, like Jesus and Marrow, like every

201
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: great superhero, like any public figures who was a god.

202
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: One is ra ra or the number one King of

203
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: all Fun. Repeatedly would describe himself as number one King

204
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: of all fun. I don't know how many like superlative

205
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: sort of things. You have to put it number one

206
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: king all all um, that's three levels of superlative. Number

207
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: one king, which is usually the highest and then of

208
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: all Yeah, and of course the number one King of

209
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: all Fun is a great guy, so great that he

Speaker 1: has received a lifetime ban from the sushi chain No

211
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: boot wow. Why do you ask? Well, one time when

212
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: he was at one of the Midtown Manhattan locations, he

213
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: cursed out a manager. According to this manager, she says, quote,

214
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: he called me the C word and said he would

215
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: kill me in response to a conflict in which are

216
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: allegedly confronted restaurant staff after not being able to sit

217
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: at his favorite table. Yeah, so the King of Fun

218
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: comes in, I'm sorry, your table isn't available. I'm gonna

219
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: fucking kill you. Like what, So he's a straw man bidder,

220
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: he's a billionaire. He like owned a pharmacy and then

221
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: used that position to he realized that he could buy

222
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: up a bunch of medicine, wait for people to need

223
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 1: that medicine really bad, and then charge people extra money

224
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: for that medicine. Essentially, Uh so that's how he made

225
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: his billions. And at the time, yeah, yeah, exactly. Back

226
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: in two thousand thirteen, he was involved in a divorce

227
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: that cost him two d and fifty million dollars and

228
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: so to let off some steam, he began furiously sending

229
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: a sex tape of himself out to various acquaintances, which

230
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: is such a weird thing to do furiously. Yeah, I

231
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: mean that's weird. I wonder what really happened for the

232
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: journalists who wrote this article to describe it as furious sending,

233
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: not just like distributing his own sex sex tape to

234
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: equip furiously Like, is it just all caps in the ship?

235
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: Check this video on to me? Yeah? So, I mean

236
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: that's how anyone would get over a divorce, right yeah? Uh.

237
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: And then when they asked about it, he says, I

238
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: was I was in France, I was single, number one

239
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: King of Fun, of all Fun. I'm sorry, I don't

240
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: want to disrespect the title of throne. I already out

241
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: when you said number one king of all anyone who

242
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: has a title? Have you ever met anyone who's like

243
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: sort of given themselves a nicknameless like I remember a

244
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: dude who called himself the king of Tustin, right, and

245
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: Tustin is in Orange County. Yeah, nobody wants to be

246
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: the king of Tustin. Nobody wants to be the king

247
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: of any of the Tustins. But that one's worse. What

248
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: are the other Tustins. There's one in Arizona. Okay, yeah,

249
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm that one might be too, or Tustin Tustin. Okay, no,

250
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: there's there's both, I think. Okay, Okay, someone on Twitter,

251
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: please tell me that I'm sure I'm the king of Arizona.

252
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: I just became immediate. I just got worried that I

253
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: was just pronouncing tusons. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. We were

254
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: in college a group of kids who wanted to be

255
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: the uh we're kind of the happier, more happy go

256
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: lucky group of guys who threw parties than my group

257
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: of friends. Called themselves the Access of Fun. Oh my god,

258
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: which is weird that you would go with axes because

259
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: it has well, there's fucking Tommy GILBERTI and Adolf Hitler, right,

260
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: the crew Unfortunate. Wait, what do you mean if you

261
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: said they were the happy go lucky and you're like

262
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: unlike my group who were group No, we were just

263
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: were the moked around too much? Okay you know, oh

264
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: so were they kind of like really all smiles having parties?

265
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: Like hey man, yeah, no black people. Right, I gotta

266
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: leave this motherfucking party. Alright, guys, let's talk about movies.

267
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: Let's get yeah, you talking about movies because you guys

268
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: have never heard of probably less Chinese Zight Gang out there.

269
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: Apologies for speaking past you, but I think a lot

270
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: of our audience probably has never heard of the number

271
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: one movie in the world for two nine. It's called

272
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: The Wandering Earth. Uh. It takes place in the future

273
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: where the sun ever heard of it? The Sun is

274
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: about to swallow our planet and so they've started a

275
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: Wandering Earth. Uh like NASA project, except not NASA because

276
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:34,479
Speaker 1: it's China, so there's like a global confederation of countries. Anyways,

277
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: it's wait this conceit is really interesting. Yeah, it is

278
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: kind of cool. It's so the idea that it's the

279
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: thing that in your first science class when like a

280
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: teacher goes, you know, the Sun too will also explode

281
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: exactly one day and consume us. All is taking it

282
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: to that moment where it's about to splode and we

283
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: got to literally just tow the Earth somewhere and somewhere else. Yeah,

284
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: the best we have come up with is put giant

285
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: like thrusters on plan and like turn them on. But

286
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: like everybody has died or a lot of the coastal elites,

287
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 1: thank God, good riddance, are dead because they stopped at

288
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: the rotation of the earth so that the thrusters would work.

289
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: And uh that that created like all sorts of wild floods,

290
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: which you would they should have seen coming. I guess yes,

291
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: we weren't planning that one. That that well. But anyways,

292
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 1: it's not even close. In terms of worldwide box office,

293
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: this movie has made six d and fifty six million dollars.

294
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: The second place movie, How To Train Your Dragon three,

295
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: has made three seventy eight So it's like lapping Hollywood movies.

296
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: It's destroying them. And it hasn't done well in the

297
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: United States. It's just crushing with has been released in

298
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: the United States, it has, It's made about ten million

299
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: dollars total. I haven't seen it in any theaters in

300
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: l A. Yeah, and they put everything in theaters in

301
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: l A. Everything. Roma shout out to Spielberg on that one.

302
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: And I think you see a couple of things in

303
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: this first you see that most of the U S

304
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: movies in the top five are sequels. You got Lego

305
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: Movie two, Glass and How to Train Your Dragon three

306
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: and that probably has something to do with why Hollywood

307
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: is will soon be lapped by whatever part of China

308
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: they make movies in. Yeah, what's the Bollywood? What do

309
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: we call it Chinese Hollywood? Yeah, we gotta come up

310
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: with something that is based on Hollywood Hollywood. That's the

311
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: naming convention we've all decided would be Chollywood. Yeah, Chollywood. Yeah, Oh,

312
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: that sounds like it could be racist if said in

313
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: an Australian accent. I don't want you want to avoid

314
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: that one my uh yeah, we'll just call it China's

315
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: movie industry that's thriving, Yes, and we'll overtake the United

316
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: States paltry little baby movie industry. The it also seems

317
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 1: like it's a metaphor for future environmental destruction of the world,

318
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: and it makes sense to me that that would be

319
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: more popular in China than like we had that what

320
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: is it Day after Tomorrow? That's like our only environmental

321
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: that and the happening. Yeah, there's all I mean, yeah,

322
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: sure was the core. No, the core was just about

323
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: the oh yeah yeah yeah. I've only seen the YouTube

324
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: clips that shows the best parts of Shift falling apart

325
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: really high. Yeah, so maybe there have been others, but

326
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: it does seem like, I don't know, at the US

327
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: hasn't totally tangled with the future. I hope in that movie,

328
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: the US are like the scorned people and they're just

329
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: like or just like, you know what, fuck y'all, we're

330
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: all not part of this because y'all denied it for

331
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: so long. I wish they put that little narrative in there.

332
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: I hope, Uh, one country that's like I don't know. Yeah, alright,

333
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a brake. We'll be right back, and

334
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: we're back. Guys, let's talk about Stevie Spielberg. Why what

335
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 1: do you do? Uh? He is taken on Netflix Ladies

336
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: in germs. What do you mean, like he's starting his

337
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: own streaming service. Yes, it's just e t it's all

338
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: amblant films. Yeah, so he has Uh he's going to

339
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: the Academy with a case that movies like Roma should

340
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: not be eligible for the Oscars. Okay, hater, he said, yeah,

341
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: they're perfectly fine films that should be eligible for Emmy's

342
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: The shade, Steven Spielberg shade, what go on? Film? Film

343
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: Master's degree? The Emmys are for television, right, so you

344
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: know they're they're not movies, right, But his ore ument is,

345
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: I think, you know, the second you go to the

346
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: streaming platform, now you're dabbling in a TV movie despite

347
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: Alfonso Karne directing it, because who's he He's he might

348
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: as well the director of Harry Potter three and a

349
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: bunch of other better movies. Yes, yes, but I mean

350
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: that's it's an interesting argument. I think he's really I think,

351
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: as he says, once you commit to a television format,

352
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: you're a TV you're a TV movie. You certainly, if

353
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: it's a good show, deserve an Emmy, but not an Oscar.

354
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: I don't believe films that are just given token qualifications

355
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: in a couple of theaters for less than a week

356
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: should qualify for the Academy Award nomination, which I get

357
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: to us. I get that sort of the logic of

358
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: that argument, but that doesn't take away from the actual

359
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: product that is being created. Like you wouldn't be like, oh,

360
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: that was Roma's a lifetime movie, right, Yeah, exactly, it's

361
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: and Roma is better than anything Steven Spielberg has made

362
00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: in decades. So Warhorse, I did that student, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

363
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: I did not. It's it's he's it's gotten so bad

364
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 1: that I'm not even I'm not I don't even remember

365
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: that he's directed. His last good movie was Minority Report.

366
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: And I stand by that it sounds like like an old,

367
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: out of touch guy who is like failing to evolve

368
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: with the evolving times and wants to preserve something that

369
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: is like kind of going obsolete. So and I mean,

370
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: maybe this will because you know, your Netflix is to

371
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: put more muscle behind putting these movies out in theaters,

372
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: in which case, like I don't hate it, like the

373
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: ballot of Buster scrugs. The Collen Brothers movie like that

374
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: was not very well handled in terms of its theatrical release.

375
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: It was like out for a week and a handful

376
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: of theaters and that was it. Um And that would

377
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: have been a fun one to see on the big screen.

378
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: And roma like it was available both at theaters and

379
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: on Netflix for most of it's run. Yeah. Well, also,

380
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: Netflix is like a good incubator to like it allows

381
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: for more independent filmmakers to kind of get a shot

382
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: at doing something big. So like, while I want to

383
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: say I understand what his argument is, I just think

384
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: it's it's sort of it's a little bit ridiculous too.

385
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: And a lot of people point to the fact it's like,

386
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: well a lot of these screeners people are watching these

387
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: films on DVD anyway, so like they're not getting the

388
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: theatrical experience. And I don't think in any way as

389
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 1: Netflix necessarily a threat to the like the motion picture industry.

390
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: They're just trying to get in on the awards in

391
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: a sort of like indirect way. Yeah. I mean that's

392
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: something that I think I had always assumed until this

393
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: piece was written for us by jam McNabb, one of

394
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: our writers, and he pointed out that actually, when you

395
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: look at statistics and studies, the streaming services don't take

396
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: away from the number of people who are going to

397
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: see movies or it's fairly negligible, And in fact, the

398
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: people who stream more hours of TV are the ones

399
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: who are most likely to go out to the theater

400
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: to see movies. Maybe working with the streaming services to

401
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: kind of use there that platform to drive people out

402
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: to theaters would be the smarter way to go, as

403
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: opposed to being a salty little bit I'm calling my

404
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: favorite filmmaker of all time? Uh, I mean, what do

405
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: you guys think like that? I think the more interesting

406
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: conversation and Chris Kelly, I think it was I'm Chris

407
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: Kelly add I'm Chris Kelly tweeted on the night of

408
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: the Oscars my top ten list of movies for this year,

409
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: where it was like one a TV show to a

410
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: TV show, three a TV show for the favorite, five

411
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: a TV show like all Like that is a question

412
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: that I wonder, like, should we just be having the

413
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: Academy Awards for the Best film filmic things like things

414
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: that are made that are like at that level of art,

415
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: Like the O J Documentary was one that started this

416
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: conversation a few years back because it was ESPN documentary

417
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: that was aired in four parts on ESPN, not known

418
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 1: for their art house cinema, but they won the Academy

419
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: Award because it was released in theaters. Briefly, the question

420
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: what was it again? Should we like prestige TV shows,

421
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: should they be eligible for Academy We don't know because

422
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: they're not really comparable in that sense, like if you

423
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: have like eight hours to tell your story versus two. Yeah,

424
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: I have a feeling like over the long term, I

425
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: don't know, it could affect you differently, but also a

426
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: great movie you're gonna be like fun that was, that was?

427
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: That was. I don't know, I mean, keep them separate

428
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: but equal answer for everything. Yeah, you know, it's just

429
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: a cowardly response to anything, like there's no problems. Yeah,

430
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know it. To me, I just

431
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, if it's a movie, because it's

432
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: a format. You know, the film is a format. So

433
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: in that sense, I feel like you should have awards

434
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: for them. But we're watching TV shows on they're made

435
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: by filmmakers. They're on like screens that are the size

436
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: of movie theater screens, like relatively, like you you have

437
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: as much access to, like the composition of what is

438
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: in what is being photographed as you as people in

439
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: the past did when they're sitting in giant like thousands

440
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: see movie theaters. So they have thousands movie theaters. There

441
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: were big theaters back in the day, the Golden era.

442
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: I think that for me, I have a complicated relationship

443
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: with the Academy Awards because I watched them every year.

444
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm disappointed by most of the stuff that happens every year. Uh,

445
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: and everyone's like they don't matter, like just like like

446
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: what you like and it doesn't matter if something wins

447
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: or doesn't, but it does kind of matter because that

448
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: influences people's decisions to, you know, go see other things. Right,

449
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't quite know how I feel

450
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: about that specifically. What I do want to mention I

451
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: want to read a tweet from Ava DuVernay. Is this

452
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: your green book tweet? Green Book is not about a

453
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: book that gets bitten by a radioactive green anyway. Um

454
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: Avia says, one of the things I value about Netflix

455
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 1: is that it distributes um black work far and wide.

456
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: A hundred ninety countries will get when they see us.

457
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: Here's a promo for South Africa. And then she has

458
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: retweeted something from Netflix South Africa, and then she says,

459
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: I I've had just one film distributed wide internationally, not Selma,

460
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: not Wrinkling Time. It was by Netflix. That matters. So

461
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: she's talking about the widespread, the distribution, the accessibility of

462
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: Netflix movies that don't get sometimes that widespread of a

463
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: release when it's you know, whatever studio that's not Netflix.

464
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: So that and then I had read other things to

465
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: that effect, where you know, Netflix and similar platforms are

466
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: willing to take more of a chance on filmmakers who

467
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: are people of color who are queer you know, um

468
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: from other modernalized filmmakers. And that is huge in this

469
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: time when representation is so important, when inclusion is so important.

470
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: So well yeah, and also all the barriers to entry

471
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: for traditional filmmaking right that exists within our established film industry.

472
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: That Netflix is a disruptor in that sense because they're

473
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: allowing the giving people in roads to that through this thing.

474
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: And that's where you know, Steven Spielberg sounds like an

475
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: old cranky guy because he's like responding to this disruptor.

476
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: Now that's like, oh, what the heck this day? Oh

477
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: this thing Now that's a movie. It's like, yeah, it is,

478
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: and it's better than the ship you've been making, so

479
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: fall back, so you know, more powered Netflix. Although I'm

480
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: still worried about your deficits. Hey, but if you want

481
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 1: to spend, if you want to send any of that

482
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: fifteen billion dollar production budget that you've got for this

483
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: year over to us, we will be more than happy

484
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: to make you a TV show. So Netflix, holler, yeah, no,

485
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: I agree. We would be willing to take some of

486
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: even though it's like taking it from a guy who's

487
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: writing bad checks. Probably the chord has been officially cut,

488
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: it was truly cut because the numbers were learning this

489
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: because of the numbers for pay TV subscribers versus cable subscribers.

490
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: Right well, yeah, I mean, you know, the whole idea

491
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: of cable or chord cutters used to be like hippie

492
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: people are just like people who were like against the establishment,

493
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: like I'm not paying from our corporate entertainment. And now

494
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: as people become like have less money to just throw

495
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: away on like eighty dollars a month on cable, uh,

496
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, people like streaming more, and the streaming has

497
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: now sort of led to like this other form of

498
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: cord cutting where people just don't want to, you know,

499
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: give their money to Spectrum or whoever, because you know,

500
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: how however liable that is. But yet they went from

501
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: two point nine million pay TV subscribers ended their subscriptions

502
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: and so that's almost twice what it was in seventeen

503
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: when it was one and a half million. And there's

504
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people that you know, there's like Sling

505
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: TV or direct TV now, which they call skinny bundles

506
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: just try and like keep people still on the hook.

507
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: But even then that's not really offsetting the deserters. Yeah,

508
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: so they had these skinny bundles that they introduced in

509
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: two thousand and seventeen and there was like growth year

510
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: over year, but then in a lot of people probably

511
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: lost their job at those cable companies because it's slowed

512
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: from growth to teen percent growth. Yeah. Man, I have

513
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: PlayStation View and I just cut it, like I don't

514
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: watch TV. I watched programs, right, but I don't channel

515
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: surf anymore. Right exactly. That's that is over. That air

516
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: is over. And let me tell you what the real

517
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: cable bundle is. Your mom's password, that's what the real

518
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: cable buddy, you know, because you know somebody and your

519
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: family still got cable and all you need is just

520
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: their log and information that you can dot com. Yeah,

521
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: that's the real cable r. Yeah. It's funny. I found

522
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: myself giving my dad my direct TV now thing because

523
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: he was like, I don't know how to watch this thing.

524
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, let me help you out. Brot me now.

525
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,479
Speaker 1: Now the child has become the parent, and that all

526
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: happened yesterday after yesterday's episode when we made amends. But yeah,

527
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: I think you know the other thing too, that this

528
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: whole thing that the growth of like streaming has also

529
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: just created a huge clog in like awards competition too,

530
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: because now there's so many people offering all kinds of

531
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: like premium content. In example, for the Emmy's there were

532
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: twenty nine dramas in fifty comedies submitted for eligibility. Uh,

533
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: one hundred fifty nine drama contenders, and one hundred seventeen

534
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: comedy interests. They're gonna need to start making the voting

535
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: for this ship like a full time job. Yeah, nobody's

536
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: watching any of these things. Yeah, it is too much

537
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: TV on right now. And I just started watching fucking

538
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: Umbrella Academy. Ship is really good. But like I didn't

539
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: even don't listen to culture took. It took so long

540
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: for me to be like, all right, I got through

541
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: Russian Doll, I got through all these other things. I'm like,

542
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: now let me watch this. I'm actually pretty impressed so far.

543
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: I've only seen like the first three episodes was great.

544
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: I'm liking it. It's great. That's that's the one thing

545
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: that I do like about the streaming aspect is because

546
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: there aren't advertisers, because the channel doesn't really go off,

547
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: like there is no downtime or streaming services. Right, it's

548
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: on demanding the freedom. Yeah, you get more freedom. So

549
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: because of that, people are taking bigger swings and because

550
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: you have to, but also you're getting like really good

551
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,719
Speaker 1: fucking content where they don't have to ease into a story.

552
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: You can just get right into the story. And it's

553
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: pretty dope, man, it's pretty dope. Let's talk about the

554
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: true danger to America that is ill han O mark

555
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: anti semitic statements about Israel. So she was at a

556
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: bookstore answering somebody's question about her perceived anti Semitic comments

557
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: when she pointed out that there are Israeli lobbies that

558
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: fund various lobbying efforts, yeah, that shape our foreign policy,

559
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: foreign policy, and she said, I want to talk about

560
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: the political influence in this country that says it's okay

561
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country.

562
00:33:58,320 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: I want to ask why is it okay for me

563
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: to talk about the influence of the n r A

564
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: or fossil fuel industries are a big pharma and not

565
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: talk about a powerful lobbying group that is influencing policy.

566
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: So that I don't know if you could hear, but

567
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 1: those that hate clearly the words of an anti Semite. Well,

568
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: the thing that her critics are jumping on is this

569
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: dual loyalty trope that has been used anti semitically, that

570
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: people who are loyal to America and Israel that their

571
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: allegiance to Israel makes them anti American. And a lot

572
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: of people take that go further and they say, by extension,

573
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: every Jewish person can't be trusted if this trope, if

574
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: this is what they're actually hanging on, is the evidence

575
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: for the anti Semitism use of the word allegiance right exactly? Um,

576
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: And I mean the dual loyalty thing, it's not exclusively

577
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: for Jews. I mean Japanese Americans had to deal with

578
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: it during World War Two, and Muslims especially have this

579
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: same thing of Oh, you don't know, like who are

580
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: they loyal to? Are they really American? Are they not?

581
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: So it's just one of these moments where I'm when

582
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 1: I look at it, I'm like, what I get that

583
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: her words, you know, as maybe it was slightly awkwardly

584
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: worded that it opened her up again to being able

585
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: for people to criticize what she's saying, But at the

586
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: same time I know what she's getting at with this statement,

587
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: she's saying that I can talk about the n r A,

588
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: these other industries that influence policy. I'm talking specifically about

589
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: a foreign country that is also influencing our foreign policy.

590
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: But all of her critics just want to avoid having

591
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: a proper like nuanced debate over the relationship between the

592
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: United States and Israel, Right, And I think they're also

593
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: reacting to what she looks like. Right, She's yeah, she's

594
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: in his job, and she's Muslim, and so it's very

595
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, Like, I think y'all are more

596
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 1: Islamophobic than her being anti Semitic, because when other people

597
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: like you know, for example, Jim Jordan's the fucking creating

598
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: man out of Ohio, comes out saying he tweeted at

599
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: Jerry Nadler, who's Jewish. I said, at least pretend to

600
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: be serious about fact finding, Jerry Nadler, as we said,

601
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee Chairman. He goes on, he says, quote Nadler

602
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: feeling the heat big time, jumps to Tom Styre's conclusion,

603
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: the s is a dollar sign. Impeaching our president before

604
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: first document request. Okay, that is textbook anti semitism. You

605
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Tom Styre is also Jewish. You know,

606
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing much backlash from his party about this

607
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: tweet when that's straight straight up you know, anti Semitism.

608
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: You're not seeing much from this damn wish it. So,

609
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: I mean, and I'm sure that this is just going

610
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: to keep happening, and you know, think God, she is

611
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: just like pretty direct and relentless with her viewpoints on things.

612
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: But it's just like if if people don't come at

613
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: her just treating or like she's not even a legitimate member,

614
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,919
Speaker 1: then it's I don't know, it's it's like that there's

615
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: no respect for her position at all, which is completely delegitimizing.

616
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 1: So that the House is now you know, Democrats are

617
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: now trying to drag her uh and put a resolution

618
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: on the floor condemning anti Democrats are because they're the

619
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: ones being like, okay, we gotta snuff this out, like

620
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: this is no place for quote unquote anti semitism, and

621
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: it's a resolution condemning anti semitism, but they don't name

622
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: her directly, so it's sort of like an indirect rebuke, right,

623
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: But they're basically going on the floor and saying we

624
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 1: do not stand with her in asking these questions or

625
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: just saying or it's more just point blank, step by

626
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: step saying these are these are anti Semitic tropes we condemn,

627
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: you know, And at the end of a live subtweet, yeah,

628
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 1: oh yeah, just subbing the ship out of her. But meanwhile,

629
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: ilhan Omar in her own district there are people saying, like,

630
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: assassinate ilhan Omar. And West Virginia there were like signs

631
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 1: calling for her death at gas stations. Then at CEPAC

632
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: there was a poster like a meme that had nine

633
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 1: eleven above that says never forget and then it shows

634
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: ilhan Omar like seated in Congress and says, I guess

635
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: we forgot, uh. Like it's and but yet I don't

636
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 1: see people defending her and trying to put forward resolutions

637
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 1: that condemned this kind of Islamophobic rhetoric that's coming out,

638
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: especially from the right. So it's just it reads very uh.

639
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 1: There's just there's just a double standard when it comes

640
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: to it. And I think a lot of us to

641
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: do with because like Israel, the uh, the alliance between

642
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 1: the United States and Israel has been just an accepted

643
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: fact of like our foreign policy that ilhan Omar is

644
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: a like, I guess it disrupt her, for lack of

645
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: a better word, because she's openly constantly questioning, like, what

646
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: about what's going on with Palestinians? Are we saying we

647
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: also support this behavior of what Israel is doing to Palestinians.

648
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: And that's the thing that's a facet of this conversation.

649
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 1: I wish entered the coverage more rather than just saying like, oh,

650
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: she's saying, she's talking spicy about Israel, Like why not

651
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: actually talk about some of the things that is happening.

652
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 1: The things that she's saying and acknowledging are things that

653
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: the U N have pointed out, like that Israel was

654
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: actually sniping private citizen Palestinians, journalists, paramedics, Yeah, shooting them

655
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: indiscriminately in the head, murdering them. And as unsurprising as

656
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 1: it is that the Democratic Party does not support people

657
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 1: who are like trying to start an actual conversation, it's

658
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: like Jesus fucking credible. Well, some Democrats are saying, like

659
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: to even question the alliance is unacceptable right now? That

660
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: I think is actually very dangerous, you know what I mean?

661
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 1: I think again, anti Semitism is very real. We're not

662
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 1: trying to say this is some kind of boogeyman. Argument

663
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: is very real and very dangerous, but using it as

664
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: a shield to avoid reasonable constructive debate is absurd and

665
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: dangerous in and of itself. It's very real, as illustrated

666
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: by the Republicans politicians and the white supremacists who support

667
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: them and who support the president. But it's okay for

668
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: white men to be racist apparently. Yeah. And again, I

669
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,760
Speaker 1: just you know, a clip has been going around Alexandroocazio Cortez,

670
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: you know, caping for her girl ilhan Omar, defending her,

671
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: thank you and saying pointing to a quote thing that

672
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: Jerry Falwell Jr. Said at CEPAC over the weekend. He

673
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: was basically like, I'll shoot aoc if she tries to

674
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: take my cows. Basically you know what I mean when

675
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: he completely obscured the substance of the Green New Deal

676
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: to be take my cows bill. Uh. And then in

677
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: December of Jerry Folwell said this to like ten thousand

678
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: students at Liberty University where the Fall wars. You know,

679
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: that's like their conservative Christian college. Uh. And these are

680
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:46,240
Speaker 1: his takes regarding guns and Muslims. If some of those

681
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: people in that community center had had what I've got

682
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 1: in my back pocket right now, see, Alice, there's a

683
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: is it allego to pull it out? I don't know.

684
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 1: Is that anyway? More and more good people had concealed

685
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: carry permits, then we could end those Muslims before they

686
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: before they walked to kill end those Muslims. So so

687
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: I just want to I just wanted to take this

688
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: opportunity to encourage them. So again, a lot of people

689
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: were like, oh, she's mischaracterizing what he said there. He

690
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: wasn't talking about a genocide of Muslims. He just meant

691
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,760
Speaker 1: end those Muslims who came in and shot up that Sandberg.

692
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: I think he's referring to the Sandburdino shooting. Again, even

693
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: the rhetoric being used is fucking wild. We are in

694
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 1: the wilderness officially. And this shouldn't be a surprise because

695
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: you know, Israel and the far right Christian Conservatives have

696
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,720
Speaker 1: just forged an alliance with each other over the years

697
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: because they like the Holy Land. For Christian Conservatives, they

698
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: do a lot of pr to invite them over to

699
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: Israel and help to build, like to make them allies essentially. Uh.

700
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: And so this is a very prevalent thing that's happening. Uh.

701
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: And you can tell that this sort of anti Muslim

702
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:20,240
Speaker 1: or Islamophobic rhetoric is definitely definitely situated on the right. However,

703
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: you would think that the Democrats too could also understand

704
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 1: what ilhan Omar is trying to say. She's not saying

705
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: anything about Judaism as a religion or the or people

706
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: who are Jewish. She's talking about as a matter of policy.

707
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: Are we can we go to sleep at night in

708
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: good conscience knowing that we're supporting a country that is

709
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: committing just terrible atrocities. Right, And then the Democrats like

710
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: refusing to have the conversation basically by naking everything she

711
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: said accomplishes nothing. It just like it means that the

712
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: conversation isn't gonna happen. And I think that's a testament

713
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: to the influence or the sort of not influence, but

714
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: just sort of how hard lined the idea is that

715
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: the US and Israel are just together for ever, don't

716
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,280
Speaker 1: talk about his BFFs and avoid any of the ugly stuff.

717
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 1: But again, you know, you you would hope that people

718
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: could see what she's trying to say and understand that

719
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: this is a more nuanced conversation she's trying to have

720
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,280
Speaker 1: about our foreign policy. And I would also say, please

721
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: phone your representatives, because these people are signing bills right

722
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: now and they're trying to throw ilhan Omar under the bus.

723
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: I understand that she could awarded that differently. I can

724
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: see that, because that that did open her up to

725
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,479
Speaker 1: them using a very indirect way to try and paint

726
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: her comments as anti semitic. However, all these Democrats are

727
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: piling on in the sort of this performative thing of

728
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: saying like, oh, yeah, that's that's terrible, that's it. We're

729
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: not going to discuss it either. But then the question is,

730
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: how can we have a actual discussion about this without

731
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: it being some kind of weird navigation of a mine

732
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: field of being like this could go into anti Semitic territory, right,

733
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: you have to let a white man say it, apparently, yes, yeah,

734
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: well that's like if if if a white like male

735
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: Democratic said stuff like that, probably wouldn't be having this

736
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: conversation right now, right Yeah, But even then, I just

737
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: don't know how how can we actually put down on

738
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 1: the list this is what the u N. Human Rights

739
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 1: Watch people are talking about. This is that this is

740
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 1: the aid we're giving them. What is our role in this,

741
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: What is the influence we have over them maybe changing

742
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: their policies? What how can we have this discussion it

743
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 1: might be, I mean, this is like assuming that people

744
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: would react in a reasonable way, but just like maybe

745
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: couching it. And the fact that you know, she's not

746
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: the first person to have this thought. It's she's one

747
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: of the only people in the whole body willing to

748
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: say anything about it. But it's like, if this conversation

749
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: is happening in other you know, like in the u N.

750
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: Then I don't know start what's happening in Israel, Like

751
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: it's even happen if people in power in Israel are

752
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: the furthest to the right, like of the of the

753
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 1: right powerful people and even the party that Nin Yahoo

754
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: was courting too for his coalition government, it was so

755
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: far right. Even a pack was like, oh no, no, no,

756
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: not them, like that's you're going too far, my guy,

757
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 1: And that says something. And I think these are reasonable

758
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: conversations to have. This is as a country, we need

759
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: to be aware of who we align with, what is

760
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: being done with our help, indirectly or directly. And I

761
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 1: think these are all very reasonable questions to ask, and

762
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: I think it's just really counterproductive to just instantly dismiss

763
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 1: these questions as as being anti Semitic. And again, yes,

764
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: probably could have worded that differently, And I think that's

765
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 1: part of ilhan Omar's process of, you know, understanding how

766
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: the people are going to just react to every single

767
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: thing she says, and its it sucks that that's her

768
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: language has to be even more nuanced, But again, I

769
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 1: think at the end of the day, the aim is

770
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: still the same. Is this the right thing? Are we

771
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: doing the right thing? Can we have a discussion about this? Uh,

772
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back,

773
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: and we're back. What is something you think is underrated? Underrated? Uh?

774
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: Millions branded merchandise. Listen, I've never seen the Millions. I've

775
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: never seen any of the Millions movies. I couldn't really

776
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: tell you what they're about, but I know that I

777
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: like the Millions and I think they're fun and people

778
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: who are hating on them are the same kind of

779
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: people that hate on Guy Fieri, like that Grain Shade

780
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: and torust joke. They're just fucking bored and they're mean

781
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: spirited and they got nothing better to do. And I

782
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 1: think the millions are fun. I do. I think that

783
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: it's a little scary. They're all guys. Sure, I do.

784
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: But I got hurt the other day. Brag, I tripped,

785
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 1: I got I got to I got two scabs. There're

786
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: wet too long. I was where they're infected. Now they're

787
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: dry past the weeping face there. But but I went

788
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: to CVS because I didn't have a first aid kit

789
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: at my house. And there is a regular first aid kit,

790
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: and there's a million it costs a dollar fifty extra

791
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: of them. Like, man, those guys make me smile. I

792
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: got my first aid kit and all the band aids

793
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,919
Speaker 1: are funny. The one that I'm wearing right now is says, uh,

794
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: it feels right to be a little wrong. And then

795
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: there's a minion and I was like, I'm laughing already.

796
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 1: I love feels right to be a little wrong. That's

797
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: like a lyric from a song from the eighties about

798
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: having an affair, and it's also how the minions feel

799
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: about my scab. I think they're is. One's name is

800
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:36,320
Speaker 1: One is one named Kevin, I don't know one Despicable

801
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,399
Speaker 1: Me movie, and I was like, all right, I don't

802
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 1: understand what why people need to hate on the minions,

803
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 1: Like it's just edge lord, bullshit, Mendians are fine. It's

804
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: not even edgy, you know what I mean. Like, it's

805
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: not even a thing where I'm like, oh yeah, like

806
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: funck or I can even see. It's just like you

807
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: just like a weird humanoid whatever these things are? What

808
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: are they're not They're they're technically not humanoid even what

809
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: actually it's officially, I don't know. They're little like cough

810
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: drop it. There's a lot of it's weird because they're

811
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 1: they're kind of like the Olympas, except their slavery narrative

812
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:12,919
Speaker 1: is not as heavily. But they are deaf. They only

813
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: work for bananas, which is not okay. Yeah, right, so

814
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: they're but they weren't captured from a rainforest by some

815
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 1: like imperialist what's their I don't really know. I haven't

816
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 1: seen the movie. I just know I checked with I checked. Sorry.

817
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: My boyfriend says they're bad in bananas, not money, right,

818
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: so they should unionize Oh yeah, yeah yeah republic. Now

819
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: do you think for a community, a fictional community, to

820
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: be all boys like the Minions, which I didn't realize that,

821
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: or or to have a single female like no, I

822
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: think that well, I think that, you know, it would

823
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: be interesting to see Minions. Maybe they have I don't.

824
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,959
Speaker 1: There's like, what seven hundred Minions movies. Maybe there has

825
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 1: been a female Minion that's become canonical over time. I'm

826
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: sorry about that. That's my Minions alert. They've been talking

827
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 1: about Minions for over five minutes. I mean, I don't

828
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: care for the whole narrative of that one female minion

829
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: must colonize the world. But it seems like the Minions

830
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: maybe a sexual and that they just pop in up

831
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: what I was thinking. I don't know. But in that

832
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,879
Speaker 1: case it's on their creator. Who is what goofy Steve

833
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: Carell or something. His name is grew Okay, maybe he was.

834
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: I went to Universal Studios last week and there's Minions Land,

835
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: and I could not figure. I was like, this movie

836
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: must be crazy. There's an orphanage, there's an orphanage world.

837
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:43,240
Speaker 1: I think he's evil and has some interaction with orphans,

838
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: whether he like adopts them. There's there's Despicable Me fans

839
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: who are like punching their staring wheels right now. I

840
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: went on the ride and it was something about there

841
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: was a very sad adoption narrative that happens on the

842
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 1: Minions right that it was like, this is like, it's

843
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: like Steve Carrell forgot about adopting a daughter, and at

844
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 1: the end of the riot he's like, just kidding. I remembered.

845
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: I was like, what the fun it is? I just

846
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:11,280
Speaker 1: came here, rominions. You can't have real parents in American cinema.

847
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: You gott you gotta be an orphan of some sort.

848
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 1: Your parents have to die horribly or else. You're too soft,

849
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: you have too many advantage. That's your I mean that

850
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: was always your parenting creed right exactly. Don't be soft.

851
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,399
Speaker 1: Ghost your kids and let them lift themselves up by

852
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: their bootstraps. I faked my death about a month ago.

853
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,919
Speaker 1: Both of my boys, you know, I'll watch them grow

854
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: from afar and then right from behind a door. All right,

855
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it. For this week's Weekly Zeitgeist, please
