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

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,120
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. Uh. These are some of our favorite segments

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: from this week, all edited together into one uh NonStop

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: infotainment last stravaganza. UHH. So, without further ado, here is

5
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: the Weekly Zeitgeist. We always like to have our guests

6
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: do a little myth busting because you know, the zeitgeist

7
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: is full of myths, uh and culture is full of myths.

8
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: And Howard, is there something from your experience, like a

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: cultural myth or phenomenon that you can kind of take

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: down for us today? Well, yes, Um, I'm originally from

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: the state of New Jersey. Ay, that's it. And a

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: lot of people when the uh show Jersey Shore came out,

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: they go, oh, that's what New Jersey is like. And

14
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: then there's a backlash because people like, that's not what

15
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: New Jersey is like, but that is what New Jersey.

16
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: So you're here to eliminate the myth that New Jersey

17
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: is not like the Jersey Store, because it's exactly like

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: the Jersey Shore. It's well, let's say this, there's those

19
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: people are everywhere. You can't escape those people, so like

20
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: they're not the only tribe of people but they are

21
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,919
Speaker 1: everywhere and so they definitely, uh they affect daily life

22
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: every day and uh, the way those guys are, the

23
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: the animal way in which they behave and stuff like

24
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: that's everywhere. But it's not really a bad thing. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: it's like it's like it's when you're there and you

26
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: live there. It's just kind of funny. So you weren't

27
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: there with the fist pumping jelled hair guys. What what

28
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: was your tribe in Jersey? Oh? I was just like, uh,

29
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: just like me and two friends that like punk rock.

30
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: Like there was just like there was nobody else who

31
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: liked the just an entire state. It was just you

32
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: three holding it down pretty much. I Mean there was

33
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: one guy like three towns away who had his hair

34
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: spiked up, like there was just like and you heard

35
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: about him like yeah red Bank, ye amazing, amazing. Yeah.

36
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: I grew up in that Red Bank area, So that's yeah, Okay,

37
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: so you only know that because I'm a huge Kevin

38
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: Smith fans, so that knowing that area is like, oh,

39
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,839
Speaker 1: what's going on in Red Bank, New Jersey? Yeah? Yeah,

40
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: my sister lives like a mile from that comic bookstore

41
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: and Springsteen lives over. It's like real big Springsteen kind. Well,

42
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: and another thing too, is I was before we started,

43
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: I was saying, I'm from the San Fernando Valley, which

44
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: is like l A's version of New Jersey where people

45
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: who live in l A proper like to say shitty

46
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: things about the valley. Right, So two people like what

47
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: happens when you meet people who don't know anythingbout New York,

48
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: New Jersey and just go, oh, you're from Jersey. Yeah,

49
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: do you have do you have like a built in

50
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: defense mechanism or a statement you get like, I'm not

51
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: defensive about it because I was. I wasn't super like

52
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: into being there. Like I listened to boording to Ron Baby,

53
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: this town rips the bones from your back. It's a

54
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: death trap. It's a suicide wrap. We gotta get out

55
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: while we're young. I was like, that's right. So yeah,

56
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: I guess So Jersey is a terrible place. It's not terrible,

57
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: but I don't I'm glad I'm from there, but I

58
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't go back, just for even the weather, now that

59
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm used to the weather out here, but um, yeah,

60
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: I don't defend that. It is what it is. We're

61
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: just gonna talk about taxes real quick. We don't have

62
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: time or infinite energy to get into all the many,

63
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: many details. Uh. You know, the text plan that they

64
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: are passing through is probably going to repeal the individual mandate,

65
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: So they're taking money that would be spent on healthcare

66
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: for you know, millions of people that are indeed who

67
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: can afford healthcare cannot afford healthcare, uh and moving it elsewhere.

68
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: But there was a really revealing quote from Iowa Senator

69
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: Chuck grass Lee. One of the just most egregious parts

70
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: of this and it's not one of the details that

71
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: is actually going to cost people all that much money,

72
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: but it Uh. They are repealing what's called the death tax,

73
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: the inheritance tax um, which is basically attacks on the

74
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: five thousand highest income Americans. Uh so people who when

75
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: they die are leaving behind over I think eleven million dollars.

76
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: That money is extra tax because that's a shipload of

77
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: money for that you did nothing for. And the logic

78
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: that Chuck Grassley used to explain it was pretty amazing.

79
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: He said, quote, I think not having the estate tax

80
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: recognizes the people that are investing. This is in a

81
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: quote to the Demoine Register said, as opposed to those

82
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: that are just spending every darn penny they have, whether

83
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: it's on booze or women or movies. So what are

84
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: you saying there is we're giving money to people who

85
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: will invest it. The these people who are inheriting millions

86
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: of dollars from their parents, uh and have never had

87
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 1: to work for that money at all, And uh, we're

88
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: taking it away from you know, people who And this

89
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: is how he views the rest of us. Basically the

90
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: rest of the world are people who spend their money

91
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: on booze, women or movies. Movies is such a weird

92
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: That's like they are expensive these days. Maybe he's trying

93
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: to circle back and just like take a slam. It's like,

94
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:35,559
Speaker 1: you know, twenty bucks to go to the movies, remember, um,

95
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: which is, by the way, is the only money you'll

96
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: be getting You'll be getting paid in nickels from now

97
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: next to the new Republican tax plan. Um. So it

98
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: really gets at what is wrong with a lot of

99
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: the logic with this tax plan. So people who invest

100
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: their money, he's talking about you know, stocks and you

101
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: know the market uh of families in America owned stocks

102
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: in two thousand sixteen, which is, you know, not that bad.

103
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: But when you look at how much is owned by

104
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: the richest, the top one percent of households by wealth

105
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: owned just thirty eight percent of all stock shares. One

106
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: percent of households owned thirty eight percent. So he's saying

107
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: we need to give more money to that top one

108
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: percent so that they can invest it. But that only

109
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: helps them and the stock market. And it's all part

110
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: of this idea that by making the obscenely rich more

111
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: obscenely rich, you're you're going to stimulate the economy somehow.

112
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: But I mean, as the estate tax and their anger

113
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: at the estate tax proves, they just want to keep

114
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: the money for themselves and for the people in their family.

115
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: And there's there's nothing about upward mobility or anything in

116
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: this bill, Like when you look at like boom and

117
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: bus cycles of the economy, like we're in a good

118
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: time right now and unemployments low, the stock market is

119
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: doing great. Rich people are getting fucking richer. A tax

120
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: cut is like the absolute opposite of what is normal.

121
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: There's already insane problems with you know, wealth distribution. The

122
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: top of Americans owncent of the stock so that money

123
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: is not going anyway, and well we need to talk

124
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: about Also, there's there's a guy named Matt Brunik who's

125
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: a fantastic writer. Um. You should follow him, um, if

126
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: you're still in hell on Twitter. Um. He runs a

127
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: leftist think tank called the People's Policy Project, and he

128
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: talks a lot about the passivity of income, the idea

129
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: that um, when you talk about investing, because we're not

130
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: taught this in schools, and and and the Democrats have

131
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: done a really poor job of like ideologically talking about

132
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: what exactly is an investment, and this idea that these

133
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: people are simply creating wealth by having wealth. There's no work,

134
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: there's no motivation, there's nothing that benefits society. You're not

135
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: creating a product, you're not creating a service, and you're

136
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: not putting this money back into the economy. What it

137
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: is is welfare. What it is is we need to

138
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: start looking at things like this, the way that the

139
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: Republicans have gotten white, lower class, working class middle class

140
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: people to look at welfare moms and food stamps and

141
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: ship like that. That's what this is. This is just

142
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: a band aid to allow people who don't work to

143
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: not work more. And it's way worse than welfare because

144
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: you see welfare be put back into the economy, like

145
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: like these people that like need food stamps aren't sitting

146
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: on there like yeah, look at all these rollover It's like,

147
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: you know, that's a very pervasive myth, the the idea

148
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: that people on welfare just sit back and collect welfare

149
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: and spend it on booze women and movies. But then

150
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: you look at the money, like what the extra nine

151
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: million dollars that somebody's going to get because they're fucking

152
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: uncle died, Like where how are they going to spend

153
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 1: that money? They're gonna sit on it? You know about

154
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: the My favorite thing is the one coke brother who's

155
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: the least evil Cooke brother, bred Fred I think is

156
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: his name, the one they thought was right, didn't He

157
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: wasn't smashing people right? So he owns a tiny town.

158
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: Did you know that? He owns like a western ghost town,

159
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: And he just like walks around in his ghost town

160
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: as like sheriff of tinytown. Yeah, yeah, a tinytown, Like

161
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: are the people they're small? I don't. I I just

162
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: call it tiny town because it's so funny. But he

163
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: has like a like a little set up Western it's

164
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: a ghost town. It's like an old west town. And

165
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if he like hires people to like

166
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: cosplay West World and shipped in there. But yeah, if

167
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: you look up like Koke Brothers ghost Town, uh, and

168
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, how is this helping giving this dude

169
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: enough money to create fucking Westworld just for him? He's

170
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 1: creating ghost jobs though that ghost town that that town

171
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: didn't see jobs and who knows how long ghost jobs

172
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: they haven't been ghost jobs in here. But yeah, again,

173
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: the other thing too, is just the thing again. We're

174
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: in a good time, right, the economy is strong. We

175
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: and afford to invest this money in infrastructure or things

176
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: that we sorely need, which actually creates jobs, which actually

177
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: creates some kind of wealth for other people. That's why,

178
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: like it's so crazy to try and wrap your head

179
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: around what the motivations are of the people in the Senate.

180
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: Oh it's easy. I mean I just want to be

181
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: rich and they want that. Maybe makes me just such

182
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: a like out there stupid idiot that like I just

183
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: feel like that's wrong that I'm like, how could you

184
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: look at other people and be like, nah, fam, we're

185
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: gonna sit on this money and like just keep it

186
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: to ourselves. It's I think it's easy because that's how

187
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: the system works. Like Lindsay Graham himself said, we need

188
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: to get this past or else our donors won't return

189
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: our phone calls. Right, he just outright admitted it, because

190
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody, not even you've lost your humanity.

191
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: That's how the system works. But you think about it, right,

192
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: So like maybe maybe some senators used to be poor.

193
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm gonna say a small amount of them. Hatch

194
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: was so how long though has he been exactly? Exactly?

195
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: So you get to this place, And we were talking

196
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: about it with like my critique of Tina Fe where

197
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: it's like these people only see other rich people and

198
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: in the Beltway is so insular that they only see

199
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: rich media people. Uh. And and that's why they all

200
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: hang out and party with each other because this is

201
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: all a joke because they don't ever see none of

202
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: their kids are addicted to opiates, and they're they're not

203
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: losing their houses. And then if they are there, Pike

204
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: even quiet and getting them the best treatment positive exactly

205
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: because they can afford it because of their wonderful health insurance. Yeah,

206
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: and so it's it's this idea of like we don't

207
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: have any bearing, like like we don't see the outcome

208
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: of this because everything is such a perfectly carefully staged

209
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 1: photo op with their constituents. Which is what made the

210
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: healthcare thing so great. Is these town halls, Like for

211
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: the first one in my lifetime, people showed up and

212
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: like treated politicians how they're supposed to be treated. Yeah,

213
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: you're supposed to hate your boss, you're supposed to hate

214
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: your local politicians. You're not supposed to love politicians, and

215
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: like that's been a big problem of America, and I

216
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: think Trump's helping us with That's the one good thing

217
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: he's done, right, Yeah, No, nobody's going to be like, ah,

218
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: I love the president, but supposed to hate the president.

219
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: Roy Moore have you heard about this guy? This Roy

220
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: Moore fella. He's a cowboy right right, for the for

221
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: the for the underdog. I don't know much else about him.

222
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: So we have some great audio of interviews with his spokesperson,

223
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: because I feel like they have they're creating new levels

224
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: of like logic puzzles of like how to deny something. Uh,

225
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: it's it's actually somewhat impressive. So we're gonna listen to

226
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: his spokeswoman, a CNN reporter. Oh, he left the room

227
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: and came back in wearing this is a victim quite underwear,

228
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: and um, he touched me over my clothing, what was

229
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: left of it, and he, um tried to get me

230
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: to touch him as well. Do you believe her? I

231
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: don't believe her at all. And I'll tell you why.

232
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: Not only was she sought out to buy the Washington Post,

233
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: her own mother doesn't believe elements of her story. We

234
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: need to make it clear that there's a group of

235
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: non accusers that have not accused the judge of any

236
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: sexual misconduct or anything illegal. So, yeah, that was edited.

237
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: That was her initial uh, you know, rebuttal, and then

238
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: we moved forward to her second argument, her second defense,

239
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: which is, but look at all the women who haven't

240
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: accused him of rap. Yeah, there's like billions. Yeah, that

241
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: would put that that's a big number if we're talking,

242
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: you know, dead and alive, trillions of women. I think

243
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: he's fine. Yeah, Um, people that haven't accused him, mother, Teresa,

244
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: Princess Diana, the princess who didn't like the princess. Um,

245
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: So that's I mean, yeah, what what the like that's

246
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: the kind of ship. Like that's literally from The Simpsons,

247
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: where like Millhouse was like wearing a two two and

248
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: he was like, Bart, but what about the times I

249
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: didn't wear two too? Like yeah, we're like we're entering

250
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: territory where like these used to be jokes like when

251
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: you had like a shitty lawyer or something. Right now, yeah,

252
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: people are using applying this in real life. That is

253
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: fucking scary. Yeah. They just need his votes so bad

254
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: that it's just at this point, you know, the comedy

255
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: writer and me just wants him to be on camera

256
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: like just masturbating and talking about like his his lovely

257
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: penis tattoos, say Jesus the Lord or whatever, you know,

258
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: like uh uh, you know, God is my shepherd or whatever,

259
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: and just just to see what they have to because

260
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: they're just in this position where they have to defend

261
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: to defend him, and they're all in The r n

262
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: C has gone ahead and endorsed him. Mitch McConnell like

263
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: walked it back to It's pretty disturbing up there, like, look,

264
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: what's more important, you know, women's lives? These tax cuts

265
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: for the one percent. Yeah, Mitch McConnell did the old

266
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: with the people of Alabama have to decide. Trump came

267
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: in and UH officially endorsed him, as did the r

268
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: n c. UH. The Hill just released an Alabama pull

269
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: saying Jones ex really so his opponent actually leads more

270
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: by four points according to one Alabama poll, but a

271
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: lot of polls that we've been hearing was from that's

272
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: that's the first one I've heard with him in the Yeah,

273
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: that is you know there. Oh there was another one

274
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: that Deray McKesson retweeted. It was like an image where

275
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: the math added up to a hundred and four. They're

276
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: given their all. They're almost right, you know, as a

277
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: coach would say. And then later on in that interview,

278
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: I think in the beginning of that interview with Poppy

279
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: Harlow of CNN, UH, the spokeswoman just comes out swinging

280
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: like before, like everything. So I think this is clip

281
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: because interesting, Poppy Harlow is pregnant for those that don't know.

282
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: So this plays into what Roy Moore spokeswoman was saying

283
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: to her to start that interview and let me get

284
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: right to it. So thank you, it's great to be

285
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: with you. By the way, Congratulations on your your unborn child.

286
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: Uh that's that's the reason why I came down as

287
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: a volunteer to speak for Jodh roy Moore because he'll

288
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: stand for the rights of babies like yours in the womb,

289
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: where his opponent will support killing them up until the

290
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: moment of birth. Who will actually come for your fetus.

291
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've interviewed him, but he will

292
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: actively try and kill your fetix, extract your And that's

293
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: the double standard they're creating that that as if, as

294
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: if that's with the left agenda. It's like, yeah, okay,

295
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: he molested a little girls, sure, but they want to

296
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: come and end your pregnancy like no one wants. That's

297
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: wants that abortion works, you guys know. I mean, look,

298
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: the election is what a week from today, So let's

299
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: let the people of Alabama decide. Show us that you're

300
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: on the right side. Come on now, he was banned

301
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: from a mall. A mall. It's a classic pedophile stuff

302
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: that's in them all, on your schools or your circuses.

303
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: Weed dealers don't even get banned from them all. They're

304
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: just like, I don't want to see you hanging around

305
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: this part. I don't want them smell coming off. You try.

306
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: If you're smart, you work in Brooks, don't Poppy. Come on,

307
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: you leave the weed bag in the massage share. You

308
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: come and you see you leave your twenty and year

309
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: out stashbo experime. Come on, we gave you the college

310
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: football playoffs, Alabama. Just give us the rest of the

311
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: country a fucking win. All right, we gotta take a

312
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back. Enough

313
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: of the dark stuff. Let's talk about one of the

314
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: most horrifying scenarios facing the world right now. We wanted

315
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: to talk about artificial intelligence and this sort of looming

316
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: Stanley Kubrick, what a neck beard, this sort of looming

317
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: uh possibility that artificial intelligence is going to take over jobs.

318
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: There there are some estimates, let's say seventy three million

319
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: jobs in the United States could be replaced by robots.

320
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: And they're not too distant. Future jobs that you know,

321
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: I didn't think could be like accountant and like tax

322
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: prepare and stuff like that, Like stuff that I assumed

323
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: was pretty complicated, they're saying could potentially be taken over

324
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: by artificial intelligence. Um, like tax preparation is like I

325
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: think one of the most vulnerable ones like because we

326
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: already used turbo tax already not fucking with walking into

327
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: a H and R Block, Like, Hi, can you do

328
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: something with this below? Can you help me please? I

329
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: am them about numbers, which you can actually even tell

330
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: because the way they're spending money on their advertisements is crazy.

331
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: Like the celebrities that they have in these like tax

332
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: preparation compersitions, Like what is going on? You're like, Oh,

333
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 1: they're in their death throws, right, so they're doing anything

334
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: they can. R Blockbuster video dude. Uh. And the idea

335
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: is basically, so you take a company that has lots

336
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: of human capital like H and R block and you

337
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: replace it with a company that is just a guy

338
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: that programmed a thing. And so all this money that

339
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: was going to all these tax attorneys and accountants, uh,

340
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: is now going to like to tech trillionaires. Um. So

341
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: one side of the equation is this could be the

342
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: apocalypse and you know, we're not going to have employment

343
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: in the future, and what are we gonna do? Uh,

344
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna look like an eighties dystopian uh sci fi future.

345
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: But then uh, another side I read an Economist article

346
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: that was like, yeah, but you can actually pull out

347
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: articles from the late nineteenth century and other times throughout

348
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: history where people thought the same thing was going to happen, like, um,

349
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, instead of technology just taking over the world

350
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: and everybody losing their job, what happened was technology took

351
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 1: over certain jobs, but it created different jobs. So Uh,

352
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: some people, like the economists in this article I've recently

353
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: read UH, argues that that's what will continue to happen.

354
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: We won't have a complete break from history and will

355
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: just take the jobs that exist now create new jobs

356
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: that we can't possibly conceive of. H But there are

357
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: reasons to think that might not be the case this

358
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: time around. Uh. You know, Facebook and Twitter are taking

359
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, news distribution jobs and they're not replacing them.

360
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:19,239
Speaker 1: You know, they become multi billion dollar companies that you know,

361
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: six shareholders get really rich, and you know that could

362
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: be run by a handful of people. But the difference

363
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: that I see is that the Ludites didn't know shit

364
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: about printing presses. They just came in. They were like

365
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: a sex Yeah. Whereas the people who are saying that

366
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 1: we need to, you know, start thinking about this possibility

367
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: are the people who know the most to elon Musk

368
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: and Mark Zuckerberry. It's like the people who are like

369
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: you guys don't know what we can do, Like this

370
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: is coming, um, because I'm looking at it and I'm scared. Right, Yeah,

371
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: I just made it and I'm really bad. Right. There's

372
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: a great New York article from a couple of months

373
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: ago out how Silicon Valley millionaires and billionaires have all

374
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: taken to survivalism. They're all, like, you know, building these

375
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: island fortresses because I think there is a nascent understanding

376
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: that this is coming. They take so many of the

377
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: jobs that there's just an entire hungry under class that

378
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: needs to be fed, and it will look like World

379
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: War Z, except those zombies are fucking hungry, right, just

380
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: coming through your city. Right. So some of the solutions

381
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: to this that have been suggested are nukes, nukes just

382
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: just end it all, or a universal basic income, which

383
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: is that it's something that's been tested out. But Josh,

384
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: as a leftist, as our resident leftist, can you explain

385
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,719
Speaker 1: the idea of you be a sure and granted I'm

386
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: not an expert, but I've read a lot of articles,

387
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: Um that is that makes you an expert on this? Hell? Yeah, dude,

388
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: so you be I it was. It was in a

389
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: series of books by James Essay Corries the first time

390
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: I saw it. Um. But the idea that we are

391
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: rich enough to give everybody essentially negative tax. Instead of

392
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: you paying money in taxes, everybody gets like a median

393
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: standard like of living income thirty grand. Let's say let's

394
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: put it at thirty grand. Um. The idea being that, Um,

395
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: the reason why we created these robots is so that

396
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: we as a society could be benefited and wouldn't have

397
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: to toil all day and as society dominated by work

398
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: for work's sake, And that's what you're seeing now in

399
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: late capitalism. Is I mean, I know everybody that's listening

400
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: to this has or currently is doing a job that

401
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: is mostly redundant, where you know, you're just like I

402
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: don't need to be doing this technically, or I could

403
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: be doing this from home remotely. Uh and and we're

404
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: all just kinda just going through the motions. And so

405
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: the idea would be like there is enough food for everybody,

406
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: there's enough fucking money for everybody, and you b I

407
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: is um sort of an attempt to level the playing

408
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,959
Speaker 1: field to be like, okay, well, uh, if you just

409
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: are an existing person, part of your life liberty and

410
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: pursuit of happiness is a fucking house and heating and

411
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: air conditioning and a fucking food and yeah, just enough

412
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: money for basic survival. So wait, how does the math work? Like,

413
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: where does the money come from that gets distributed? So

414
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: first and foremost the pockets of these super wealthy Um

415
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: that there would be a progressive tax, there would reinstitute

416
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: things like the fucking estate tax and ship. That just

417
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: makes sense. And then there's so much money in our

418
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: military budget. We spend two times as much I believe

419
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: as China, which is our next competitor, um. And so

420
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: if we have our security budget, um, we would still

421
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 1: be spending significantly more than any other country. And all

422
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: of that money could go where it belongs, which is

423
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 1: into making people's lives better. So between um progressive taxes

424
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: on the wealthy wealthy, wealthiest clothe in corporate loopholes like

425
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: the fucking Panama papers ship um actually enforcing that stuff,

426
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,239
Speaker 1: and then um like lowering the military budget by like

427
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: even you know, a fraction you can easily gets for

428
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: each American. Uh, and it works when it happens, you know,

429
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: that you see in in Alaska, for example, everybody has

430
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: a universal basic income because of um oil money that

431
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: comes through there, so that all gets split among everybody.

432
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: And the Alaska is super fucking republican, but you try

433
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: to take that away from them and they'll lose their

434
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: goddamn minds. It's literally the most socialist thing that's ever

435
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: happened in Alaska, and the people of Alaska loving think

436
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: of it like social security but for your life. Wait,

437
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: they get distributions on the oil. Everybody gets a check.

438
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: And you see it happen in UM Like right now,

439
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: there's a lot of UH tech people that are experimenting

440
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: with this because they see the writing on the wall

441
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: that we deserve this, like the fruits of our la

442
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: have produced this excess time, this surplus of time. So

443
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: what do people do when they have time? And so

444
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: their studies right now in like Norway, UH and Scandinavian

445
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: like more progressive countries where based on what I've read,

446
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: the outcomes of these studies are people are better parents

447
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: and more integrated in their community and start gardening and

448
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: like doing all these things that make their communities better

449
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: when they're not you know, news flash, chained to a

450
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: fucking desk alday, and most people will spend their money

451
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: because they hate their jobs so much in just whatever

452
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: ways they can to sort of like offs themselves. Yeah,

453
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: from like the toil as you say exactly, and I think, Yeah,

454
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: another thing about the u B I is like it's

455
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,719
Speaker 1: too sort of disentangle this connection between work and quality

456
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: of life, because that's what we're all. Whatever your job is,

457
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,959
Speaker 1: that's going to determine your quality of life. And this

458
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: is to say, you know, let's set a base standard

459
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: of quality of life and then around that, you know,

460
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: and and here's the thing you you mentioned, like what

461
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: your job is your quality of life, and that presupposes

462
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 1: all of the privilege inherent and why people get certain jobs,

463
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And the idea of like oh, yeah,

464
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: well I work at a bank, so I have a

465
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: lot of money. Well how did you get to that bank?

466
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: Where were you set up? Where were you given a

467
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: head start? That gets you and this exactly, like you said,

468
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: levels of playing field and makes it so that literally everybody,

469
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: I mean, this attacks poverty at the core and not

470
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: just symptoms of poverty, like something like an earned income

471
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: tax credit would go after that's something that the Democrats

472
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: have means tested to be like, oh, if you're making

473
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: under fifteen thousand dollars, then you get this, but if

474
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: you make over fifteen thousand dollars, you get and and

475
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: and it's all this convoluted you know, Obamacare fucking ship. Um.

476
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: This is just like social Security and that everybody fucking

477
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 1: gets it, and everybody starts at the same place so

478
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: that you can go be a doctor and cure cancer

479
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: or go right the most beautiful fucking concerto, or raise

480
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: a happy family, you know, not worry about how you're

481
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: going to do that, right. And the one thing that

482
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: you never see in these stories is uh, somebody going like, yeah,

483
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: I started heroin you right right. Nobody just like sits

484
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: back and just does nothing. Because it's human beings. We

485
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: are social creatures and we crave, you know, cooperation, and

486
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: so this is like a huge blow in the idea

487
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: of cooperation versus competition. And the myth is out there

488
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: that you know of the welfare queen. These people who

489
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: you know are on the doll and just sit back

490
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,239
Speaker 1: and they become you know, drug addicts. And you know

491
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: that there's a famous story where old dirty bastard, like

492
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: as he was like cashing his checks for like his

493
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: you know, number one selling album like went, and cash

494
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: his welfare check. And I think those stories are famous

495
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: because like for a reason, because powerful people don't want

496
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: us to think that, you know, sitting back and you know,

497
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: having money handed to us is a valid way for

498
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: a society to function. But actually, when you look at

499
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: how charities work in other countries when you just give

500
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: people money, this is like the one thing that charities

501
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: never do, because charities it's more fun to be like, oh,

502
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: I gave this farmer a cow, and like, isn't that

503
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: clever that I was able to do that. If you

504
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: instead give that farmer thirty dollars or however much a

505
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: cow costs, I'm way out of the tow. Uh. But

506
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: you know that is actually way more beneficial to him

507
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: because he can, you know, he knows what he needs.

508
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: Need a fucking cow, I need, I need to dig

509
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: for water, I need a cell phone to call. Yeah, right,

510
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: And so I mean that's just been shown time and

511
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: again that if you give people cash that they know

512
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: what to do with it, and they're rarely going to

513
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: just sit back and you know, be shitty citizens. I'm

514
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: sure there are people who are just there are, but

515
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: that's not the majority or necessarily and that also has

516
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: nothing to do with class, right, that's a that's an

517
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: internal like borderline personality disorder whatever, you know, that that's

518
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: there's just as many fucking rich people that would just

519
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: say just like everything, right. So yeah, you know, there's

520
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: this idea that maybe we will be existing in a

521
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: post work world fairly soon. Uh, And I mean we're

522
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,959
Speaker 1: kind of like Facebook is a good example of this

523
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: because you know, it's taken over how we get our

524
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: information completely and you know, there are very few people

525
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: getting rich off of that. Um. And also you were

526
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: you were talking about like where you get your head start? Uh,

527
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: all of these internet you know monopolies were built on

528
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: the back of tax funded you know, government. The government

529
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: created the Internet and laid the foundation for the Internet.

530
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: So like this is all stuff that you know, the

531
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: public invested in and then a handful of people are

532
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: becoming billionaire is off of it. So uh, you know,

533
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: the idea that the public should get money back is

534
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: not insane or because we foot the bill for the bailouts,

535
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: we foot the bill first, you know, like you said,

536
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: starting the fucking Internet that all came from our tax dollars,

537
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: and then we don't reap any of the benefits. And

538
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: another interesting point that you made was the idea that like,

539
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: you know, this post work world, like I was thinking

540
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: about it, and really it's only been a couple of

541
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: lifetimes that capitalism as we know it, where like your

542
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: job is tied to your standard of living, like is

543
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: the case, like you know, I mean you you only

544
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: have to go back a couple of generations to the

545
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: idea of feudalism of you know, like like can you

546
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: imagine a feudalist like looking at like the liberalism that

547
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: swept Napoleonic Europe, and and just being like, I don't know,

548
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: if we give these reforms to the people, there's gonna

549
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: be some fucking craze, see ship that happens, And and

550
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,959
Speaker 1: it's just you're in the way of progress like like

551
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: and and now that we have more information and more

552
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: power and more resources than ever before, these switches are

553
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: gonna happen faster, and these things are going to evolve faster,

554
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: and we need to let them evolve. The thing that

555
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: scares me though, and and this is not to be

556
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: negative about U b I necessarily because it's so much

557
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: better than anything else we have on the table right now. Um,

558
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: the thing that scares me is a Huey Long situation.

559
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: Do you know Huey Long, the Kingfish. So the idea

560
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: that for those of you who don't know, basically, here

561
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: was this guy who is the governor of Louisiana who

562
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: saw that, um, rural white folks in Louisiana weren't learning

563
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: how to read because um, the school's charged for books.

564
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: So he nationalized basically whatever. He put the bill for

565
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: all the books, taught an entire generation of people how

566
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: to read. Uh, and then like put in electricity in

567
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: the rural areas, and everybody fucking loved him because here's

568
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: this guy, and you look at the same thing with

569
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: like FDR and Social Security, And what happens then is

570
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: that the people vote for you for fucking ever because

571
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: you gave them the stuff. And so when you gave

572
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: Hughie Long a fucking blank check of voting, he went

573
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: nuts and became the governor and the Senator at the

574
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: same time and just like went on this crazy power

575
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: trip that ultimately ended in him getting assassinated. FDR obviously

576
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: was a better president, but the Democrats were in power

577
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: in Congress because of Social Security for thirty years. So

578
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: the thing that scares me is who's going to implement

579
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: U b I because that person will be worshiped and

580
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: and and and that's why I was so afraid of

581
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: fucking Steve Bannon, because he seemed like the only dude

582
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: creative enough to realize that. Right, and you get the

583
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: jump on, then right, there is a way to run

584
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: this whole thing. Right, if you have a right leaning

585
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: autocrat with like fascist tendencies and you give them something

586
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: like this, then we could be in a situation like

587
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, where you know, you have this kingdom that

588
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: rules with an iron fist on everything, but people generally

589
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: don't do too much revolting because they're on the doll

590
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: because they would not have money otherwise because there is

591
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: like a weird you know, sort of like um petro

592
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: state you U b I that goes on in Saudi Arabia.

593
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: So like you BI in general in a vacuum is

594
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: a great idea. We just need to make sure that

595
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: it's being implemented for the right reasons by the right people,

596
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: and and and making it so that it's still not

597
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: impossible to jump into power, you know, because this could

598
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: be seen as a way to allow your Peter Teals,

599
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: your Elon Musk's and and and you know, young zucks

600
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: to fucking still maintain power by pacifying all of us.

601
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: I am just getting this in now. We have established

602
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: a connection with Jack O'Brien, who is reporting live from

603
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: the fire stricken part of Los Angeles right now. Jack,

604
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: are you there, Miles, This is Jack. I'm here in

605
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles area. I don't know if you can

606
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: hear me. Fires are raging, I'm told over by my house,

607
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: but I'm safe about ten miles away. So I don't

608
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: know why. I don't know. It just seems like what

609
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: people do whenever you like throw to them in the

610
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: field and there's a disaster going on. Again, we still

611
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: have people, you know, like you're not obviously not in

612
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: studio because yes, you had to evacuate your home because

613
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: of the fires here, you know. Um, and you sound

614
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: very relaxed for someone who had evacuate, but you're you're okay, right, Yeah, Yeah,

615
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: I've been up since my parents called me this morning

616
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: at like four thirty. And uh, you know, from the

617
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: East coast, and they were aware of this before I was.

618
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: Is a great testament to what a provider and protector

619
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: I am of my household. That they are like a

620
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: thousand miles away and we're like, hey, your neighborhoods on fire. Uh,

621
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 1: but I was like, I want your neighborhoods on fire,

622
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: dead god. Um. But then I went out into my

623
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: front yard and looked and uh, you know the we

624
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: live kind of right on the mountain slash hill that

625
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 1: goes over into the valley, and uh, it was glowing,

626
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: like you could see it glowing, and there was, you know,

627
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: smoke kind of billowing over just a big looked almost

628
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: like a patch of FuG So, uh, yeah, we got

629
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 1: all our stuff together. I am fortunate to have an

630
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: amazing aunt and uncle who lived further east in Los Angeles,

631
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: and we just took the family and the dog over there,

632
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 1: and then I drove back and did all the stuff

633
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: you're supposed to do. I didn't. I didn't know about this.

634
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,720
Speaker 1: You're supposed to water your house like I. I basically

635
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: took our backyard hose and like hosed down our whole house.

636
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: I unkinked my hose. So that's Probably another reason I

637
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: sound relaxed is like a lot of the stuff that

638
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 1: I was doing was very not like I didn't feel

639
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: urgent or you know, like I was in an emergency.

640
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: I was like sitting in my backyard like untying, untangling

641
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: my hose. Uh. And you know, eventually got it on kankes.

642
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: You're supposed to like have them laid out and then

643
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: turn all the lights on outside of your house. And

644
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: then I continued to, uh, just grab random things like

645
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: I think I have um one pair of pants and

646
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: all of my T shirts for some reason. And I

647
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: assume you brought all your sneakers. I I don't. I

648
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: don't even have my Jordans. So yeah, I couldn't find

649
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: my Jordans and I couldn't find my passport. Those were

650
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 1: the two most important things that you're an international player.

651
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: No exactly. I mean, my Jordans are kind of my

652
00:36:55,480 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 1: passport when you think about it, you're locally respected it.

653
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, so as I was leaving my house, there

654
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:10,439
Speaker 1: was ash kind of snowing down, uh, and you could

655
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: see helicopters kind of circling. Uh. We're basically across the

656
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: street from We're on the south side of Sunset in

657
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: the north side of Sunset had been evacuated, and you

658
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: could see like these big cool planes with fire retardant

659
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: just circling in getting ready to dump the stuff. So

660
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: it's pretty, I don't know, pretty dramatic morning. Oh yes,

661
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: you live below Sunset. Yes, Like I don't know if

662
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: you remember clueless when she gets real mad, which says

663
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: what she calls her housekeeper Mexican and she's like, she's

664
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: fromoun El Salvador and she's like, what's the difference, And

665
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 1: then Paul was like, you get mad when people think

666
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: you live below sunset. That's a deep cut that I

667
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: had to issue Ward in there because that is a

668
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,439
Speaker 1: deep cut. I think, Yeah, so clueless reference we made.

669
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: I'm on the wrong side of the tracks from bel Air. Uh,

670
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: like the bell Air people look down on my neighborhood,

671
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: and uh, you know it's pretty tough, pretty pretty badassure you.

672
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: I mean again, I I know, like today we almost

673
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: had to convince you to like just focus on evacuating

674
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: and doing everything because you were so like medicated to

675
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: coming in or at least calling in to do most

676
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: of the show. But are you like so other than that,

677
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: like other than obviously the imminent danger that you're always in. Uh,

678
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 1: you're feeling good or you did, like the fire department

679
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: give you any assurances or any any idea of sort

680
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: of what the situation like. Um, So I didn't talk

681
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: to anyone. My neighbors talked to a cop who said

682
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: that he thought our neighborhood should be okay, we're basically

683
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: right now. Uh. Sort of command central where all the

684
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: fire chiefs and police chiefs are hanging out and you know,

685
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: figuring out next steps is uh, you know, a stone's

686
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: throw from where I live. So that's somewhat reassuring, assuming

687
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: they don't have to you know, double back and change

688
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 1: where command central is. I think we should be all right, um,

689
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: and that's what they said, we should be all right.

690
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: But uh, you know there there's this thing in Los Angeles.

691
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 1: So Los Angeles people from Los Angeles love to brag

692
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: about how it's always seventy two, and it's true. But

693
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 1: there's the one kind of bad piece of weather that

694
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 1: I didn't know about heading into living here is these

695
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: things called the Santa and winds, which it's these just

696
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: crazy strong winds that are unlike you know, I've lived

697
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: all over America, and they're kind of unlike anything I've

698
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: ever experienced anywhere else. Like there winds that actually make

699
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 1: you have to slow down when you're driving there there

700
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: because they kick up dust and also like push your

701
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: car around the street. I'm not telling you guys, but uh,

702
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: you know people who might not have lived in Los

703
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: Angeles during this time of the year. Uh, and uh

704
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: those are going on right now. And you know, this

705
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 1: is just uh somewhat unprecedented for there to be wildfires

706
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: at the same time as sant Ana winds, because wildfires

707
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: are usually not going on in December, but because of

708
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: global warming or you know, naturally occurring climate change, whatever

709
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: you choose to believe. Uh, but I mean obviously it's

710
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: man made, uh that unless you're yeah, depending on if

711
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: you're a complete fucking asshole or not. But so because

712
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: of that, there are wildfires at a time at the

713
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: same time as like these crazy winds that normally like

714
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: blow cars all over the streets. So um, those are

715
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: supposed to kick up later tonight and then who the

716
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: funk knows what's gonna happen. Well, you know, I think

717
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: earlier when before you came on, I was like We're

718
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: not really a thoughts and prayers kind of show, but

719
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: this is definitely a time for everybody, you know, send

720
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: the vibes to protect Jack's house is family and many

721
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: people in l A. Man Like, it's not just l A,

722
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: it's Ventura County, it's San Bernardino. Uh so all the

723
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: listeners out there, if we can collectively send good thoughts,

724
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: good vibrations, maybe we could fight the fire. Yeah. Yeah,

725
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 1: that that'll probably work. You know, there's no scientific evidence

726
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: about that, but Granola bar and I'm feeling good about that,

727
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: all right? Uh cool? Well, yeah, I'll probably be back

728
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: in studio tomorrow, hopefully, Hopefully I'm not like standing in

729
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: front of my house with a garden hose, like facing

730
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: down fire like Lieutenant Dan cursing at God. But yeah,

731
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: to be honest, I don't think the firefighters would let

732
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 1: you fight the fire. But yes, I'm I'm I'm thinking

733
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna be in studio tomorrow. I'm feeling feeling alright. Guys.

734
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: Thank you so much to our on field correspondent, junior

735
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: reporter Jack O'Brien for calling in to the main studio

736
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: the Mothership. Back to you, Miles and Anna, I just

737
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: wanted to say that stay out there. Hey that sounded

738
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: so official sent its so sincere too. All right, Jack,

739
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: be safe. But and with that, we're gonna take a

740
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:35,280
Speaker 1: quick break and be right back. And we're back. All right, guys,

741
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 1: it's Mangazi watch time. So there's all sorts of things

742
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: happening in the world of Manghazi. Uh. The women of

743
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 1: Manghazi are Times Person of the Year People's of the Year. Uh.

744
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 1: This is presumably because Trump turned them down as as

745
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: he said, yeah, which is completely not the way. That's

746
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: like how time they had to come back and be like,

747
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that's not how it works. Yeah, until that

748
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: shoe hits the stands, nobody knows who the Person of

749
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: the years and then you only know the runner up

750
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: after the fact. And you know he's a runner up. Yeah, yeah,

751
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: he's a number one for destroying the presidency. It's not

752
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: even like for being crazy, like it's it's all just

753
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: about like, oh, we've never seen someone so off the

754
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: rails and like unfiltered. It's not like doing a great job.

755
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: He is all over the Person of the Year story

756
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: for being a sexual abuser. Right. They interview a bunch

757
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: of the women who he sexually abused. And then they

758
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,479
Speaker 1: also talk about this theory that I've actually heard brought

759
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 1: up just in conversations with people, the idea that, um,

760
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: we wouldn't be having this movement of women coming out

761
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: and you know, saying that they had been abused if

762
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: it weren't for Trump winning. But yeah, because of the

763
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: Women's March, and then just because of you know, this

764
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: public sort of shaming of women by Trump and by

765
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: his followers, you know, they were motivated to kind of

766
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: step out. And Yeah, I totally believe that it was

767
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: a moral rock bottom. Right. It's like I remember when

768
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: that tape came out, everyone was like, this is this

769
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: it's a rat to for them to watch it, just

770
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: like you know, still go through was just like oh wow, okay,

771
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: because really don't care, like we're there. Yeah. So I

772
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: think a lot of people were just like, no, we

773
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: can't let this happen. And that's why the pendulum is

774
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: swinging so hard the other way. It was why there's

775
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: a there's an article that came out I think last

776
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: week or this week about how Pence basically was like

777
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: after that tape came out, He's like, you know, I

778
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: can run with Condoleeza Rice. Yeah. Yeah, that's the Atlantic

779
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 1: article about how he basically had had a soft coup

780
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: ready to go. And then Trump had his second debate

781
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 1: where he just like stock Hillery around the stage like

782
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: he was sucking Jason Border and uh and people were like, yeah,

783
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: we love it, we love it. We like this sort

784
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 1: of messing energies, doubling down on making women uncomfortable, and

785
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: so that that coup went away. But Pence has always

786
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: just kind of been in the background. I'm just ready

787
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: to step in. Yeah. The second. If Trump is like,

788
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: you know, taken down by Miller or like an assassin

789
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,399
Speaker 1: or whatever, Pence is gonna just like pop up out

790
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: of the bushes and be like, oh, hey, what's up.

791
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: Didn't something happen? Didn't see you there? Yeah, he's got

792
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: a bad pack, you know what I'm saying. There's also

793
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 1: another thing that came out. Someone tweeted a thing about

794
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: how he's you know, increasingly under pressure because of the

795
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: Russia probe, and they juxtaposed that with an article that

796
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: came out a few years ago about when he was

797
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: in a frat he ratted out his frat brothers because

798
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: they had a keg and They're like, Oh, I wonder

799
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 1: how this is gonna go. Penstead, Yeah, like that can

800
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,919
Speaker 1: keep his mouth shift to get print his fraternity that yeah,

801
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: I think so, yeah, but that's the best I hope

802
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: he rats, we just let's let's find out everything. But rats,

803
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: he can come to the cook out of my house.

804
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,720
Speaker 1: So back to the Person's of the Year. So Trump

805
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: did coming second for uh, not for any great accomplishments.

806
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,080
Speaker 1: It's basically for the same reasons that made him some

807
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: the year. Last year. They were like, he has changed

808
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: the presidency with the passing fuse, the wild accusations, the

809
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: cruden divisive language. It's like, yeah, he had also changed

810
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: the how presidential elections are you know, conducted in last year,

811
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: and that's what made him time Person of the Year.

812
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: So even though he's technically probably the person who, you know,

813
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: when you think of this year in history books, you're

814
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: going to think of all the damage that was done

815
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: by him. Uh, you know, it's the same article as

816
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: last year. You can't. Yeah, it doesn't change, but just

817
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,720
Speaker 1: add more funckory exactly. And also keep in mind, remember

818
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 1: when Hitler was a Person of the Year. Hitler won

819
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: it twice, but he didn't win it twice consecutively. No, no, no, yeah,

820
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: he didn't. Like people are over this Hitler stuff like

821
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: move on, Um, I think they went stalin. That reminds

822
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: me of uh Kanye West performance. So he was on

823
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,720
Speaker 1: like VH one Storytellers and he's doing a song amazing,

824
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: and he did a speech afterwards, and he's just like

825
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: naming people. He's just like, uh, Michael Jordan's Michael Jackson,

826
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: James out O J. Simpson and liked just kind of

827
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: goes J. Simpson and he's like, but wasn't he Wasn't

828
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: he amazing? Think about what he did? Is that not amazing?

829
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: And I think like that's what this whole Trump thing

830
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of, is like them, like they're

831
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 1: just like you gotta kind of just give credit where

832
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: credits due, and like the amount of ship he's fucked

833
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: up now, it's phenomenal to think about. He has definitely

834
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 1: changed the entire political landscape and geopolitical landscape, considering like

835
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 1: our allies are like fleeing and we're further causing more

836
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: chaos just by him saying shit. Yeah, so Trump truly

837
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: is the white O. J. Simpson. We can say I think, yeah,

838
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: they will be, but with not as good film appearances,

839
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean literally, given that he sucked

840
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: in Home alone too. Honestly, he was just caught Kevin

841
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: in the Plaza Hotel lobby. That's it. He's not like

842
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: O J out here building a O D gun out

843
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: of like a little suitcase and turned into like an

844
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: anti aircraft gun and naked gun. What two or three?

845
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: And third? Yeah, he's got one speed, little man though.

846
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: Uh second runner up was Chinese president She jin Ping

847
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 1: and uh coming in forth was Robert Miler. Uh so

848
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: those are the people of the year. But also, let's

849
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:13,879
Speaker 1: not also, I mean, I have to call this out.

850
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift is also on that cover, and I'm not

851
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: saying she shouldn't be, because there there are plenty of

852
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 1: reasons why she actually should be. She successfully counter sued

853
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 1: someone that's sexually assaulted her. I think that that's great.

854
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,760
Speaker 1: I think, and she handled everything really well. My favorite

855
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: things she's ever done other than shake it off. Well,

856
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 1: that's that's for you. Ye To me, I'm like, yes,

857
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: that's credit where credit is due. And I think a

858
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: lot of people to have been on the internet kind

859
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: of like what is she doing there because she also

860
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 1: has a history of like silencing people too, so it

861
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 1: makes I don't know if it makes her problematic, but

862
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: it's interesting that, you know, I think some people haven't

863
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: really taken issue to this. What do you mean by

864
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: silencing people? So remember like there was that blogger who

865
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: was like, hey, when you're gonna come out and tell

866
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: people you're not a white supremacist or like, you don't

867
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 1: want you don't want to be a asociated with like

868
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 1: this Ariyan, you know ideal because I think they called her,

869
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: they use her as like the ideal woman likes are arians,

870
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: are outright people like they use her as like an idol.

871
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah it was hill and Twist because yeah, they called

872
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: her a quote pure aryan goddess. And so then right

873
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: after that the lawyer like demanded a retraction and a

874
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 1: deletion and all this other ship when like that's you know,

875
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: that's not her saying she's a Nazi. That's just someone

876
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 1: being critical or vocal about what they feel that her places.

877
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: And Taylor Swiss lawyer came out with you better take that,

878
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: and the A c. L U was like no, no, no no, no,

879
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,720
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, Like that's not how this works, but anyway,

880
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 1: this might make people upset. But I don't know, I

881
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 1: feel like I have to say it's I think Taylor

882
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,720
Speaker 1: Swift is a perfect example of how people are willing

883
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 1: to swallow racism in the name of feminism and ship

884
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: kind of pisses me off sometimes, but like she does

885
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: a lot of racist ship, like not only that stuff,

886
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: but her attacks against a lot of black people who

887
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: cultural appropriation. But I think people just like, yeah, but

888
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: she's like a female icon, and it's like, that's dope, dude,

889
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: But like I would never accept a black icon, for example,

890
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,359
Speaker 1: like Chris Brown. Probably what he did for like black

891
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: artists phenomenal, but I'm just like, I can't respect that

892
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: because of what he's done against woman. I don't I

893
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 1: don't understand why that's not a thing for feminism. It's

894
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,399
Speaker 1: like people are willing to accept her because she's such

895
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: a feminist icon, but they just like be like, but

896
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: we're just gonna ignore that racism. Kind of reminds me

897
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: of a former presidential candidate, which kind of pisses me off.

898
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: But like, I don't know, I thought it was whacked

899
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: to put her on there. I think that's very fair

900
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 1: critique ut takes feminism from three dudes. Um, yeah, exactly.

901
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about the Rand Paul saga, the

902
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: mystery surrounding Rand Paul getting his ass whooped by his neighbor.

903
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:52,320
Speaker 1: So he was mowing his lawn and his neighbor apparently

904
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: just came up and jumped him, beat the ship out

905
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: of him. His neighbor also a doctor. Uh and uh

906
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: was I think like in his fifties maybe yeah, and

907
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 1: he what broke I think five or six of Ranpaul's ribs,

908
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: just a straight ass kicking. And so allegedly the thing

909
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: that they've said is that, oh, it was about a

910
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: dispute because Rand Paul when he mowed his law and

911
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 1: his clippings would go on to his neighbor's lawn and

912
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,399
Speaker 1: like that piste his neighbor off. But neither of them

913
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: have commented on it. That's just like through spokespeople, and

914
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: they just have kept really like mysteriously quiet about it.

915
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: So I don't know. It's just one of those interesting

916
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: stories that I I don't totally trusted. I think I think, um,

917
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 1: I mean, on one side, right, like some people say

918
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: this has been going on for years, that he's like, Yo,

919
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: you're writing Moor keeps blowing clippings onto my fucking property

920
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: and you need to clean it. Rmpaul was like, dude,

921
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 1: I don't give a funk, And I think so when

922
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 1: one narrative is like that's been going on, going on

923
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,760
Speaker 1: for so many years that finally this dude just broken,

924
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: I was like, that's it. I'm I'm like, you're gonna

925
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 1: cass his hands. But the the one is maybe there's

926
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 1: a much darker story that we don't know about, and

927
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 1: that's the one I'm hoping it is because I don't

928
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: want this to be about to middle aged dudes fighting

929
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: over a yard clipping. I wanted to be like intrigue

930
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: and affairs and lust or something. I mean, this sounds

931
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,919
Speaker 1: like a movie, really, Like it's like like a Collin

932
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 1: Brothers movie where he wakes up every day and sees

933
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: this dude his lawn and he goes to work and

934
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: he's emasculated at work, right right, right. He comes back

935
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 1: and his wife's just like, I'm probably gonna go to

936
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 1: bed right tired, and he just keeps watching this dude

937
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: mo on his lawn and then I'm going on a

938
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: baby moon with rand What when he steps out, like,

939
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: get your clippings off my lawn? What are you gonna

940
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: do this? Pieces like his ass that ship's funny as

941
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 1: fun that That is My theory is that something happened.

942
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 1: The mowing of another man's lawn was metaphorical rather than

943
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 1: literal of this is we're we're keeping an eye on
