52
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: First of all, we were you searching this because you

00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: Not exactly. I was trying to figure that it actually

56
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: was why I was searching it. My little brother was like,

57
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: my little brother was talking about he put up a

58
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: tweet about our draft odds, and I was like, here's

59
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: here's us when we get the ninth pick again, and

60
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: it's a picture of Pat Boos and tj oh Man.

61
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,280

Speaker 1: what the fucking fat Albert Graphics? Come on, Calm. I

64
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: thought they were back. I thought Fubu was all the

65
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: way back when they dropped the Fat Albert graphics. Yeah,

66
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: I mean that because and look, they were chasing that

67
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: Iceberg wave because I remember at the time, Iceberg was

68
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: for people who have fucking money, you know, because like Iceberg,

69
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: Mickey Mouse button up was so much money. Then the

70
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: Foodbuo Platinum came in, like, hey, we can do it.

71
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,559
Speaker 1: We can do lovable cartoon characters too, at the lower

72
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: price point. I introduced Foodboo Platinum. Damn I had a

73
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: I had a fake Iceberg sweater with Speedy Gonzalez on it.

74
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: They I mean, who didn't have the fake Iceberg back?

75
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: I think like that was club that was like mandatory

76
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: club attire, Like you weren't you weren't doing shit if

77
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: you don't have Iceberg on at the club, That's very true.

78
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: And the number nine was was that? So I'm just

79
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: I was not what was what? Wait? What did you

80
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,920

Speaker 1: budon of a little quarters up with the joint underneath.

85
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: Very baggy pants, but often like Khaki's just I dressed

86
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: like ship Man, completely and totally dressed like ship was

87
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: it just like not socially functional? Yeah I was. I

88
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: was a mess right, like one of those four years,

89
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: the kind of guy who didn't have pants that could

90
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: go with nice shoes. So like, y'all put your baggy

91
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: pants over like shoes and you're like, fun, this outfit

92
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: baggy pants was like the back of the cuff like

93
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: kind of torn because yeah, I know it was the

94
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: animal all right. I was gonna ask what the number

95
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: nine was for, but I think it was just because

96
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: it looked like a lower case G. I think, so, yeah,

97
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: I think there we go. What is something you think

98
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: is overrated? Um? I mean right now, like, just don't

99
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,440

104
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: I don't understand. It's like we're there. There's this thing

105
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: of like we're all on the same team, like how

106
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: could they and like pearl clutching, and I'm like, have

107
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,280

00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: kind of voraciously, So that is a thing. My sil

111
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: length and I are all constantly reading history and like

112
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: listening to history podcasts, which is probably why I'm like,

113
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. They're just there's nothing, like there's nothing

114
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: we can do. We're just at this like kind of

115
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: point where it's like, yeah, we said we're kind of

116
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: all gonna like just go our own separate ways and

117
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: like let people do what they want to do, kind

118
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: of like following World War two and like all this

119
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: all this stuff that they put together in all these treaties,

120
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: and it's just like, oh, yeah, that only applies to again,

121
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: only applies to darker folks, right, the rule of law,

122
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: law in order. There's I mean, like I feel like constantly,

123
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: like as an American, you look at the coverage of

124
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: like how people are talking and you're like you're like,

125
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: y'all talking war crimes? Okay, yeah, oh god you have

127
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: like we don't. We don't get to accuse people of

128
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: war crimes. Have you seen They're like, will invade the

129
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: fucking Hague if you try. It's like that's the policy, right,

130
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: that was the policy, and we're over. That's why, like

131
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: watching the news is really surreal because like I can't

132
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: believe what's going on, like what these atrocities And you're like, fun, man,

133
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: if we could only report on our own ship with

134
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: the supposed clarity that the journalists are with this conflict,

135
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: like whether it was even early on with like well

136
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: look at the people dying in this world, oh my god,

137
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: and like no one realizing yeah, no one realized how

138
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: they sound. And you're like, oh, this is why everything

139
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: is so fucked up. And then like you have our

140
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: own country being like this is an atrocity, My god,

141
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 1: look at us. Just look at them. I mean, guys,

143
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: they could be your cousin. That's why I stand in

144
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: solidarity with the occupied Ukrainians Palestine. I don't know what

145

00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: with Ukraine but not like Palistine or Yemen, go fund yourself,

149
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: Like you actually don't know anything. Yeah, like you don't,

150
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,600

153
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: of people were saying, like, I can't believe that these

154
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: people are just like bringing up America's war atrocities to

155
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: cover up things like sure, there are some people who

156
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: were just doing what about is ums to kind of deflect,

157
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: but I think some people who are truly disturbed by

158
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: the lack of like consistent care empathy that goes out

159
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: from American people. That's what's really frustrating, because we're always

160
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: seeing like this cordoned off sec like sort of compartmentalized

161
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: empathy and not thinking like that's the problem is you

162
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: can look at a brown kid who's dead on the

163
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: ground and feel nothing, but you see this white child,

164
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: you know, dead on the ground and now it really

165
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: is an issue and really trying, and really you known't

166
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: take the time to confront why you don't feel one

167
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: thing when you look at one thing and you feel

168
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: something else looking at the other. That's I think what

169
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: is really the most disheartening part of like observing the

170
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: coverage and like the discourse from you know, many American

171
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: people about what's happening. I think there's also something where

172
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: they can like convince themselves that, well, it's complicated. You know,

173
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: We've I've read like all these New York Times articles

174
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: with all these facts, and like the only thing that's

175
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: complicated is you might say some ship that someone you

176
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: really care about wholeheartedly disagrees with, and you may have

177
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: to not talk to that person anymore because you actually

178
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: have a you're trying to apply a consistent definition of

179
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: what a human being is. What's something you think is

180
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: underrated overall? I think being nice is underrated, But specifically

181
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: I think being being nice to video game developers, I

182
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: think it's really underrated. I don't know why we can't

183
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: just be nice to people who make games for us.

184
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: What specific bit of outrais are you referencing today? All

185
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: of them basically I mean there there's one specifically that legit.

186
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: I basically started. Y'all played Halo Infinite. I played a

187
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: little bit of it. Yeah, okay, yo, that fan base

188
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: is so toxic. I had to stop playing. Man, it's

189
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: so bad. If you, I mean obviously read it. You know,

190
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: maybe just don't go on Reddit period. But I started

191
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: getting really really in a Halo. Man. I was playing

192
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: so much. I probably put in a hundred fifty hours

193
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: over the course of maybe a month or some chance.

194
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: I was putting work, man, and I was getting all right,

195
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: and you know, you're playing the game and you want

196
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: to learn, you just oh, maybe I can find some

197
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: tips online or something like that. And so you know,

198
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: there's people who are posting clips and stuff like that

199
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: on YouTube. And of course I always read the comments

200
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: because people add stuff in or whatever. Yo, every all

201
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: of it. If you look up things, you'll learn something

202
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: in the videos. Oh here's how to do this trick

203
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: or here's here's here's a strategy for this map or whatever.

204
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: But man, all the comments are just Man, these devs,

205
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: they don't even care about X y Z and man,

206
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: I remember when devs used to care about the craft

207
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: of making video games, just, bro, have you ever played

208
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: Karate Kid for Nintendo? Have you played the X Men

209
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: game Nintendo? You like? Do you know what? You know?

210
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: What I mean? And it's but and then the other

211
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: wild thing is all that toxicity. I feel like it.

212
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: It's somehow it's got to be feeding it, you know,

213
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: if it turns into this vac or this kind of spiral, right,

214
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: and then the people making videos they'll be saying, yeah,

215
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: here's this trick on how you can catch somebody by

216
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: surprise if you go around the corner. But also, you

217
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: know what, man, forget this game. These devs are terrible.

218
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: Maybe they fixed, but I really don't think they are. Bro,

219
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: you're making a living on making content about Halo. And

220
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: then what happens, yo, I promise you man, Right after

221
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: this is I'm watching all these Halo videos and then

222
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: the algorithm YouTube algorithm kicks in, right, So first I

223
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: watch a few Halo videos and it says, oh, you're

224
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: interested in Halo, should start showing me some more Halo videos, right,

225
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: And then it says, hey, perhaps you'd like these Joe

226
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: Rogan experience quick. And then it says, perhaps you'd like

227
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: this Jordan Peter too. Yeah, and then one would you

228
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: would you like to see a compilation of Ben Shapiro

229
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: owning college Liberals? And it's just yo, just like the

230
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: pipeline from just Halo two, just be trying to play

231
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: some regular, regular video games, just going straight, just off

232
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: the deep end. Man, It's it's it's bad. I'm just

233
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to play some video games. We gotta

234
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: be nice to these people, and they're trying if only

235
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: like how are you gonna it's like getting mad at

236
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: like somebody at a company who's like they're not really

237
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: calling the shots. I do like the the the amount

238
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: of work developers have to put in, like the fucked

239
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: up work practices and being like, okay, so we're behind

240
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: on this game or like we're not on schedule. Y'all

241
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: are gonna have to work yourselves into the ground to

242
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: deliver a thing that is then going to get people

243
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: are gonna get mad add at because we didn't give

244
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: you guys adequate time to even program the game. Like

245
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: there's like this whole the way the industry works is

246
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: only exacerbating that too, And I think that's why that

247
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: people More people aren't aware. It's like, yo, get mad

248
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: at the at the company first, not the individual developers first,

249
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: like why is happening? Harassing the developers and stuff like that,

250
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: and and that's I mean, it's precisely like that. We're

251
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: just now getting the point where, you know, video game

252
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: reporters will report on the labor practices of the company

253
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: and then you'll see that. Then you'll see the fans

254
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: of the game get mad and saying, yo, why are

255
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: you talking about that? You know, get bring my game

256
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: out faster. Just chill. They're working eighty hour weeks, they're

257
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: not getting paid. Well, just about this, then don't buy

258
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, so then shut up, do something else.

259
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: Read a book. But it's fine. Oh there's so many

260
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: good books. Have you guys heard of these things? Books? Ship?

261
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: I just read a book. What I was on vacation,

262
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: read this classic novel. It's the Prima Guide to Tomb

263
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: Raider to on PlayStation. Just classical literature, you know what

264
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: I mean. Amazing, amazing? Yeah, man, I don't know. So yeah,

265
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, if you if you know

266
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: a game developer, just you know, give him a hug,

267
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: give him a hug, or or just don't that thing

268
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: you were going to tweet at them. Just don't you

269
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: could not tweet at them or not if you have

270
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: to tea and say, hey, I know this isn't your fault,

271
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: but I'm still a piece of ship and I will

272
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: go on with this tweet exactly. By the way, the past,

273
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: the YouTube trying to take you from like complaints about

274
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: Hallo to Joe Rogan to Ben Shapiro is the past

275
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: again where we're retracing what led us to Q and on,

276
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: like right there, right, yeah, something about being mad at

277
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: video games just really segways nicely into authoritarianism and the

278
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: death of America. It's weird, It's it's yeah, here, we are, here,

279
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: we are I feel that way about like a lot

280
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: of culture. I feel like we're watching the NBA playoffs

281
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: and just like so much of the Twitter commentary is

282
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: just people being like you did that on purpose. He sucks.

283
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: This is bullshit, Like he doesn't stack up with Jordan's

284
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: is just like, yo, what the funk is wrong with everybody?

285
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: Like this is just fun. Like these guys are fucking

286
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: performing miracles in front of you for your entertainment. It

287
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: happens all the time, right, is Like there are things

288
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: that bring you joy and then when it's not hitting

289
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: the same for you, like, you get really it's it's

290
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: like fucking you get confused and you start being like,

291
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: well now I'm angry at the fucking thing that doesn't

292
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: give me as much joy, rather than taking a second

293
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: be like, hold on, this might be other things happening.

294
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: It's not just that the devs fucking sucking or hate

295
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: me or don't care. Right, all right, let's take a

296
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: quick break. We'll come right back and talk about student loans.

297
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: And we're back. And the second we cut to break,

298
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: Miles was like, I'm looking at this Coachell lineup, and

299
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: I thank you. I went back to Miles who used

300
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 1: to just pull up trying to get a cheap ticket.

301
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: And if if I get for a discount, if I

302
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: could see some of these artists, I'm not mad. Actually,

303
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: like I want to see, like, I want to see

304
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: Denzel Curry. Denzel Curry's there. I want to see bad, bad,

305
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: not good. I want to see fucking Flume. Fuck it.

306
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: If Fat Boys slam Molly in the Saharitan, when when

307
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: the drop hits on Flume, Dude, if he plays the

308
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: Tennis court Lord remix, it's over City girls Core day.

309
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, the thing is, I'm not gonna pay full

310
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: price for this, but if in my mind the situation

311
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: is I see a thing on Craig's like is helping me,

312
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: I'll give you tickets. I feel like they should sponsor

313
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: you guys as influencers. Yeah, people who like yeah, who

314
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: talk ship up until the last second. Yeah, I guess

315
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool. I can hear all funked up. Our

316
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: marketing policy is all about nagging. We like to talk

317
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: shit about your product and then come on, Jamie XX

318
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: is there. Yeah, there's some good Millennius Japanese breakfast. Okay.

319
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, you know, Joji, my little half Japanese king,

320
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: can't gizzard in the Lizard Wizard shout out Australian psych rock. Okay, anyway,

321
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: too late, don't have time. Yeah, I mean next weekend.

322
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: You know, maybe I can say goods this weekend on

323
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: streaming and then yeah, we'll see come back if it.

324
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: If it's bad and tickets are depressed, I may fuck it.

325
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: I may just for the good of the show, take

326
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,479
Speaker 1: my zoom recorder to Coachella and just bring back some

327
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: kind of audio package of the Coachella that would be amazing,

328
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: confused and ship the people demand it. Yeah, alright, we

329
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: left the crowd fund it. We'll see. I got a

330
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: few days to figured out, all right. So we just

331
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: wanted to check in on a couple of stories around

332
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: the police. Obviously, there is another horrifying instance of police

333
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: murdering an unarmed black man, Patrick Loyoya and Graham Rapids,

334
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: this time on camera, so there might actually be some justice.

335
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: But in case, you saw the press conference with the

336
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: mayor giving the concerned body language in the looking away

337
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: and like you know, just the general response to this

338
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: ship seems to be one bad apple, just a tragic,

339
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: one off situation. Graham Rabids police have been pulling guns

340
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: on innocent people for the past five years, like to

341
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: the point that there have been like many complaints in

342
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: seen officers searching for a middle aged woman wanted firs

343
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: stabbing and staid handcuffed in a eleven year old girl

344
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: at gunpoint while she was just leaving a house. Those

345
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 1: officers were not disciplined. Months before, at Graham Rapids, officers

346
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: held five innocent teenagers at gunpoint. Local outlets reported officer

347
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: was suspended for two days after shooting a protester in

348
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: the face with a gas canister. So the first of all,

349
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 1: it probably doesn't need to be said the eleven year

350
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: old child who was automatically treated like a suspect was

351
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: a person of color. The shooting of the protester in

352
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: the face, I want to come back to in a second.

353
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's yeah, that's that's that's the latest hook

354
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: into being like, oh, the police are murderous, you know,

355
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 1: fucking monsters, and the this death especially is disturbing in

356
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: the manner which had happened. It's even this just description

357
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: spooks me because this officer was on top of him

358
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: and then shot him in the head and with the

359
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: victim face down. Yeah yeah, And but yet we're we're

360
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: still like dragging our feet to just be like, oh god,

361
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: let's let's investigate what happened exactly. What was the cops justification.

362
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he pulled him over because of registration being

363
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: out of date. How does it go from that to

364
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: shooting someone in the back of the head because he

365
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: was trying to arrest him, I guess, and he was

366
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,719
Speaker 1: resisting and when he I believe he also was like

367
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: on top of this guy who's face down and he

368
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: was struggling to like he was like trying to just

369
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: get out of this position that's maybe probably having trouble

370
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: breathing or something. The gun comes out and then this

371
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: guy's just shot in his head um and this is

372
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: you know, it's like wild too, because there were so

373
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: many other stories in the last week that deserved everyone's attention,

374
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: and then it's like half of it was like still

375
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: Will Smith and Chris Rock talk yeah and whatever. But yeah,

376
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: so that's that get that takes us to this moment today, right,

377
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: So then we have just another aspect of the police

378
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: that I think is undercovered, and that is just how

379
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: fucking bad they are at their jobs. Like that what

380
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: they're funded beyond anything that has happened in the history

381
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: of human civilization when it comes to a police force.

382
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: And let's just run through the events of the subway

383
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: shooter arrest. I think this tweet sums it up if

384
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: I understand correctly. The subway shooter dropped his weapon, car, keys,

385
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: and a credit card at the scene of the crime,

386
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: called in his location to an MYPD tipline, chilled out

387
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: of McDonald's until he got tired of waiting for them

388
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: to show up. And was apprehended by a guy named

389
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: Zach that that seems to be how it went down.

390
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 1: There's you know, details of that that are backed up

391
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: by the New York Times. And yeah, I mean Alec

392
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: Karri Kitzanis had a good threat on this where yeah,

393
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: I'll just read directly from it, but he was like,

394
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: you know, much of the debate about cops rightly focuses

395
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: on their millions of physical and sexual assaults, thousands of murders,

396
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: rampant overtime, sickly fraud, bribery, perjury, high rates of domestic abuse,

397
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: links to white supremisis, infiltration of left wing movements, etcetera.

398
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: But they're also historically incompetent. That that's an important detail.

399
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 1: Even with greater and greater budgets and technology, unaccountable US

400
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: police bureaucracies are getting worse and worse at what they

401
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: say is their core function. And there's this graph about

402
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: like homicide clearance rates from and it's just down, down, down,

403
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: down down. They're just getting worse and worse as it

404
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: becomes clear and clear to them, like no, you're the

405
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: thing that you're actually paid for is to just enforce

406
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, property crimes and basically do the bidding of

407
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: the ownership class and like clear clearing homicide that happens

408
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: between you know, people who are poor. You know they

409
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: they that's not what they're there for. Basically, no, no,

410
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: that's that's something called justice. Right, We're sorry, we're we're

411
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,719
Speaker 1: security cards for private property. That like that graph of

412
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,719
Speaker 1: the comic side clearance rates. Now, I'm sure right in

413
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: the sixties there was probably like just like we've seen now,

414
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: there's cops just like I don't know, fuck it, just

415
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: say that fucking guy did it so we can close

416
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: the case. But there's something odd though. Two is I

417
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: believe between nine technology also got better too, presumably to

418
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: make it easier for people to solve crimes like properly.

419
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: Yet it's still going down and whether that's a function

420
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: of the volume of crime whatever, But I don't think

421
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: that's really the case, because what we're looking at is

422
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: we have near historic lows for for most crime. But

423
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: even despite that, you know, eleven basically eleven billion dollar

424
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: budgets and the n Y p D and the l

425
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: A p D respectively, like they're each hauling in that

426
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: kind of money, and we still get like this kind

427
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: of argument from these people that's like, well they're defunding

428
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: the police. Yeah, they're not. As a woman, the thing

429
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: that I love to see is that most of the

430
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 1: major West police departments made explicit choices not to test

431
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand rape kits so that hundreds of thousands

432
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: of rape kits so that they could do homeless arrests

433
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: and drug possession. Drug possession. Yeah, that's from that Alex

434
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: karrict Santa's thread and yeah, it's I mean I think

435
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: that ties directly back into that homicide rate and the

436
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: you know what what Miles was talking about with like

437
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: the we have the we have the technology now to

438
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: like use DNA evidence to stop sexual assault and or

439
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: at least like stop more of it than has historically

440
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: ever been possible. Instead of doing that drug possession and

441
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: homeless arrests, the anti terrorism task Force for the NYPD,

442
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: while the shooter was trying to turn himself in by

443
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: calling the tip line that they had set up, the

444
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: NYPD Terrorism Task Force was rating a homeless encampment and

445
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: arresting unhoused people. I think what's even more damning, right,

446
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: or not even more damning, but what adds to it

447
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: is that along with the technology that's gone up, it

448
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,479
Speaker 1: gots it's so good that regular citizens can have an

449
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: idea of who a suspect is and then just do

450
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: the work for the police for them, like you're saying,

451
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: they're so busy doing this other ship of just brutalizing

452
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: the unhoused. Meanwhile, a guy who was doing like a

453
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: consultation for security camera installation. Hey that Hey, yo, that's

454
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: the guy. You know, that's the guy. And he was

455
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: telling people you'll get the funk away. And it's wild

456
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: to see that press conference where this regular guy had

457
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: intervened to save or not save people, but I apprehend him.

458
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: He was warning other people stay clear of this guy.

459
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: This he's gonna do something bad. This is the person

460
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: from the subway fucking tries to stop him, flags down

461
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: a cop and does the work for it, because he

462
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: was just a generally aware of person in New York.

463
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: And that that was the law enforcement that day. That

464
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: the people who needed medical care in the fucking subway

465
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: stations were mostly being tended to by transit workers and

466
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: other So there there was an NYPD officer during the

467
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: shooting who told another bystandard to call nine one one.

468
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: This is happening right after they made a push to

469
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:25,479
Speaker 1: like put more police in the subway system and like

470
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 1: just generally, like broadly the way the story has gone

471
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: like there after and you know the protests following the

472
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 1: George Floyd video. The there was a conversation about police

473
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: abolition and that got co opted by like people like

474
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: Mattie Glaciers basically a lot of the New York Times

475
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: editorial staff Washington Post editorial staff who came through and

476
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: basically said, like, more police equals lower crime. This is

477
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: a fact. So like, I as much as your ideas

478
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: are like nice sounding, we're over here with the adults,

479
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: and we're telling you that more police equals lower crime.

480
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: And so show me some studies. Can you show me

481
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: the studies that prove that? And it's it's there. There

482
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: are studies that say that they're usually provided by the

483
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 1: police and like funded by the police, and there are

484
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: more studies, and in fact, the academic consensus is the

485
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: opposite that like investing in police creates a short term

486
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: like either flatline or slight drop in crime, but then eventually,

487
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: over time it goes up because it is fucking poisonous

488
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: for a community to have the authority figures walking around

489
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: with guns, threatening everyone that's poisonous, and then separating families

490
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: as like one of their primary recourses, and also like

491
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: ignoring the root causes of crime. That's like the I

492
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: think the most fucked up part of when you have appropriate,

493
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: supposed paper of record trying to examine something as complex

494
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: as crime and only say, well, according to my friend

495
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: the fucking cops, this is what's going on exactly the end.

496
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: Not let's look at crime. Crime. Uh, you know, people

497
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: are talking about crime. Let's look at the statistics. Here

498
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: are the statistics on crime. Here what the police is

499
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: saying causing crime? Here, what's sociologists, psychologist, psychiatrists, people who

500
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: understand human nature. What they attribute to factors that contribute

501
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: to somebody going extra legal outside the bounds of the law.

502
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: Here's what other countries. Here's what statistics from other countries

503
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: where they have gone from. Not what we have because

504
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: again or what we have is unprecedented in the history

505
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: of human civilization. But from having a front line of

506
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: armed police force to disarming the police and seeing crime

507
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: go way down and everything like respond very positively, like

508
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: a couple of that with fucking studies on U b

509
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: I or people getting supplemental incomes and the stress that

510
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: alleviates for them psychologically, the things that they're able to do,

511
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: the things they don't have to do anymore because they

512
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: were able to find some source of money to be

513
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: able to just provide the minimums of food and then

514
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: talk to me about human behavior because they're just that's like,

515
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: I mean, God, I wish more like more people are

516
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: fucking outraged to be like the fucking even the people

517
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: who want to say the new places like the New

518
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: York Times or Washington Post, they're like fucking Fox News.

519
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: What Fox News is for conservatives. That's what they do

520
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: for the concept of law enforcement. They're never going to

521
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: tell you something real about what's happening there, because the

522
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: whole point of that fucking place is to maintain this

523
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: narrative of police are being good and it's just a

524
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: couple of bad apples, rather than zooming the funk out

525
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: and being like, this is a bad fucking tree. Cut

526
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: cut it the funk down, and let's find some other solutions.

527
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: Because there's plenty of fucking research that says ship that works.

528
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: We're the City of New York is spending three million

529
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: dollars short of what most NGO say it would take

530
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: to stop global hunger for a year. The like, that's

531
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: what we're looking at in terms of the kind of

532
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: what the effects that money has, rather than like fucking

533
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,479
Speaker 1: more a p c S for the fucking cops. Like,

534
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: what did you guys ever hear about that? I think

535
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: it was freaking omics, But basically, like I think it

536
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: was related to abortion and like when women could have abortions,

537
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: and like, I don't know, after Roe v. Wade, like

538
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: the murder rate dropped, it was geificantly. I think I

539
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: think that's pretty controversial, like the their science of it,

540
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: the conclusion. Yeah, their conclusions on that are a little

541
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: controversial in terms of because yeah, I know that that

542
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: fucking blew my mind when I read it too, But

543
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what the controversy is because I

544
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: think like partially people are like it kind of implies

545
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: eugenics type thing, and also people are like that was

546
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: also a time when crime across the board was like

547
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: going way down. Okay, fair enough, but as you know,

548
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: someone who's you know, like an unwanted child is an

549
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: enormous amount of stress. And I think when we're talking

550
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: about like root causes and not having enough money and

551
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: poverty and all those things contributing. It's like yeah, for sure,

552
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, And you look at even just now because

553
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: Democrats and Congress couldn't even get their ship together to

554
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: extend the child tax credit, there's are now millions of

555
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: children are now with the snap of a finger or

556
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: with the lack of fucking energy or vigor from from politicians,

557
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: are millions of kids are now in poverty again because

558
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: that little bit of money is all it takes to

559
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: like when someone's on a knife edge to either be

560
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: in poverty or just out of it being able to

561
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: eke out somewhat normal life. But I I also just

562
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: can't believe the lack of coverage for the way that

563
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: the police have responded to the idea of defunding the police,

564
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: which again means like funding the police lesson investing, you know,

565
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: community solutions. That the police have openly responded to our

566
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: outrage over their murdering of innocent people by being more

567
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: brutal failing to respond when crimes are in progress, Like

568
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: that's something that I know was happening, because I like

569
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: no people to whom that has happened, like over the

570
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: course of the like two years now, that that continues

571
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: to be a refrain where the police like, yes, sorry,

572
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: we were defunded, and when actually actuality, They've continued to

573
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: be funded at levels like unprecedented in the history of

574
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: human civilization. There's been no restraint added to their tactics.

575
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: They've continued to murder unarmed men and women of color

576
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: with impunity, and their attitude seems to be that they're

577
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: at war with the people who they're policing now more

578
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: than ever because the people who they're policing dared criticize them,

579
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: Like how is that not a story that is constantly

580
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 1: being covered like it's an unbelievable fucking threat to Yeah,

581
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: it's while when you have throughout all this, right, we

582
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: also have stories like man, flight attendants are dealing with

583
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: the rowdiest motherfucker's on planes than ever before, and what

584
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: did they do? Some airlines said, Okay, this is the situation.

585
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: We have people who have to deal with the public.

586
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: The flight attendants have to deal with the passengers. We

587
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: found out from the from the flight attendants who have

588
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: to deal with this that their lives are difficult and

589
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: more chaotic because they're dealing with rowdy people. How do

590
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: we turn down the rowdy nous from the passengers? The

591
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: fucking airlines had the wherewithal to say, maybe we serve

592
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: less alcohol because that seems to be getting people turned up.

593
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: There seems to be some stimulant. There seems to be

594
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: some added to a factor to the equation that is

595
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 1: increasing the chaos that our flight attendants are experiencing when

596
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: they take to the skies. If I feel like you could,

597
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 1: you could extend that to how police work, right, they say, damn,

598
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: people are fucking turned up out there is the is

599
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: the solution more flight attendants? No, they said, let's I'm

600
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: the flight attendance with bigger RoboCop flight attendant. Right, And

601
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: in this version, right, someone would say, what's making people

602
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: act this way? It's they experienced severe lack Yeah, so

603
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: because of that, that's that's putting people into mental states

604
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: or or situations of having to survive what You're seeing

605
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: them do things that you call illegal. So maybe to

606
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,720
Speaker 1: do that you turn down the fucking heat that even

607
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: gets somebody to the point where they considered a steal

608
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: or whatever. Like we're talking like like the kinds of

609
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: low level crime that the New York Times and ship

610
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: want to act like that's why the fucking whole world

611
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: is going down? But why not address because that seems

612
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: to be the key here. But again, like any disingenuous

613
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: attempt at solving a problem, it's just gonna say, well,

614
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: let's just do the thing that benefits us the most.

615
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: We need to be paid more. Actually that's the problem.

616
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: We're not paid more to fucking kill people. And if I,

617
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: if they gave a funk, they would actually be coming

618
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: about real solutions how to address what causes crime rather

619
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: than be like, we need more community based police overtime.

620
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: Let's get that overtime, sweet sweet overtime. But the bystanders

621
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: like coming through and helping one another. Like, while that

622
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: sounds like a weird, like a weird thing to just

623
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, you guys are on your own type

624
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: thing at this. At the first of all, it does

625
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: appear that way even while we're funding than YPD like

626
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: to be the sixth highest funded military in the world

627
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. But there's also like the first

628
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: of all, like anyone who wants to call it a

629
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: good cop, that's like that's like if there's a if

630
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,240
Speaker 1: there's a good a good person who is like smart

631
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: and resourceful and working as a police officer. I want

632
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: them doing a different job like that is helping the community,

633
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: like or just as an unarmed like person who is

634
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: trying to help people out like like, I'm sure they

635
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: would be good at fucking helping solve things if they

636
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: If there is such a good thing, what are we

637
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:32,439
Speaker 1: supposed to get more unarmed like peacekeepers. Yeah, I feel

638
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: like there's no follow through on those stories, like you

639
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: don't see that and then but the thing is there, right,

640
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: there's no follow through on the stories because it does

641
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: happen and the results are yeah, sh it worked, right. Well,

642
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: that's not that that that doesn't leave because it doesn't bleed, right.

643
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,919
Speaker 1: And I think that's where like we have to really

644
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: ask ourselves and the kinds of stories we engaged with,

645
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: like what's actually reflecting our reality and how much are

646
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 1: we getting absolutely absolutely headfucked by disingenuous actors who are

647
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: a inco hoots with the people who like cover up

648
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: the physical manifestations of the failures of capitalism the police, okay,

649
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: and they go to their friends who have the fucking

650
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: ears and eyes of most people in the country that

651
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: the media and just keep reinforcing this thing, which is

652
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: it's not inequality, it's not the fucking police, it's not this,

653
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: it's not the real fucking thing, And just keep us

654
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: in this funhouse where we look at these fucked up

655
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: versions of our realities. But so many people are unable

656
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: to arrive at the conclusion because they're just served this

657
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: distorted ship over and over and I get a repetition

658
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: becomes reality. There's so many people who think everything is

659
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: so fucked up everywhere, and it's like on an emotional level, Yeah,

660
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna argue with that. There's a lot

661
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: of suffering out there. But like when when these very

662
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: opportunistic stories come out which are trying to like keep

663
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: progress from occurring or to take back the gains of

664
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: like progressive like lawmakers who are trying to say, like

665
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: were incarcerating too many people, that's just when I don't know,

666
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: We're just we just got an increasingly fucked up, untenable situation.

667
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: And yeah, my desires for us to really be able

668
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: to more people, to be able to really look at

669
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: this and kind of think of, like what where our

670
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,959
Speaker 1: part is in this whole equation? And we've talked before

671
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: about that Eugene Oregon. I think it was like community

672
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 1: police Force. Those like basically they're two help people who

673
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,479
Speaker 1: are having started out with like trying to help people

674
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: who are having bad drug experiences, but then it became

675
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 1: like we're just here too. You know, if you need

676
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: somebody and you don't want that somebody to come in

677
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: with a gun pointed at you, then like that's what

678
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: we're here for. And like the profiles read of them,

679
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 1: the stuff that they're doing is just things that anyone

680
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 1: can do if they're just patient and willing to listen

681
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: and like learn what is happening in the situation, which

682
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: it sounds like is what is working in this subway?

683
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 1: S your thing? It's like, okay, well I'm you know,

684
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: I may have some CPR training and there's a person

685
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 1: who's bleeding right there, so I'm going to put that

686
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: training into effect, or you know, Zach coming through and

687
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: just being like that's the person from all those news bulletins.

688
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: I'm going to bring attention to the fact that that's

689
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: who that is. Yeah, yeah, it's I mean, you look,

690
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: there's there and there's so many studies like about what

691
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 1: what armed police versus unarmed police do like in general,

692
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: not like broadly over what's better for crime, but like

693
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: there's so many things about saying that these interventions you're

694
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: talking about how effective they are that and also on

695
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: the other side that militarized police forces do not enhance

696
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 1: public safety or reduce crime at all. The only thing

697
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: militarized police forces do is funk up their reputation in

698
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: the public. And that's all it is. There's no they

699
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: can't even point to the fact. It's like, well, yeah,

700
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: when we send these people will out look like fucking

701
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: Seal Team six to go bust a fucking meth dealer

702
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: or something that that's not that that's bringing crime down.

703
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: It isn't. Yeah. There there's this other story Jam hit

704
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: us with about the police real quick that I got

705
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,320
Speaker 1: I gotta touch on because it's right. They keep doing

706
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: things where when they see themselves where somebody taking video

707
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 1: of them. Rather than being like, well, that's their right,

708
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 1: you know, we we work for them. Instead of doing that,

709
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: they start playing copyrighted music as loud as they can

710
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: because somebody told them that that will get that will

711
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 1: make it so the video can't be posted on social media.

712
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:42,919
Speaker 1: So uninherently like trying to It's like them wiping their

713
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: prints like it's a it's a thing a guilty person does,

714
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: like trying to like funk with the evidence of their wrongdoing,

715
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: like right off the bat, which just uninherently creepy and

716
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 1: like menacing thing to do. There's an example from a

717
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: couple of weeks back where I was trying to access

718
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: bodycam footage at a Beverly Hills police station and filming

719
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: the encounter on Instagram, and the copy was dealing with

720
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 1: whipped out his phone and started playing Sublime, the notorious

721
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: pro police band Sublime. And then that same police department

722
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,439
Speaker 1: previously did something similar within My Life the Beatles song

723
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: the like really heartfelt Beatles song that's hilarious. And then

724
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: there was one that went viral last June where a

725
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: cops started playing Taylor Swift, which completely backfired. The clip

726
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: promptly went viral, was uploaded YouTube, where it is still

727
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: available now and has been viewed millions of times. There's

728
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: also like a week ago, cops pulled up to a

729
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 1: residential street in Santa Anna at eleven o'clock at night

730
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: while investigating a stolen vehicle and started absolutely blasting a

731
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 1: playlist of Disney songs, and the officer on the scene

732
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: admitted it was to create copyright infringement. When one of

733
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,760
Speaker 1: the people whose children he woke up was a city

734
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: councilman who he recognized and was like apparently intimidated by,

735
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: and so I was like, I'm sorry, okay, and the

736
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: guy like made him apologize to all the families, Like yeah,

737
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: it was wild. When that guy came out, He's like,

738
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: do you know who I am? The city council person?

739
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: You know whatever? Dead whatever, like cane to do. This

740
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: is gonna get copy blocked anyway, narrator. In fact, it

741
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: did not get copyright blocked. So this is like the

742
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: other thing that I just want to point out about.

743
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: This is the competence the most powerful individual actors in

744
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 1: our society, like individual citizens with the right to use

745
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: deadly force without consequence, are being run with the integrity

746
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: and tactical understanding of truth of like an elderly relative

747
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: who believes, like email forwards like that this whole strategy

748
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: is based on nothing. It does not work, has never worked.

749
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: YouTube claims you're allowed to use whatever music you want

750
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: in the background of something like if it's just incidental

751
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: like this. So like, guy, and here's a clip of

752
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: your friend at a bar, and you're like, hey, put

753
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: it on YouTube, but it's not actually like loaded into

754
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: part of like the audio track. The sweepers don't pick

755
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: it up in that way, and if they do, the

756
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: other part is they'll just put a pre roll ad

757
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: in front of it, because then they'll say, Okay, this

758
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 1: is actually a Beastie Boys track. We'll just put an

759
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: ad in front of it, so then the Beastie Boys

760
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: can monetize it. But you can continue, well, we'll make

761
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: your police brutality video wildly available, widely available. We just

762
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: need to monetize it, which is also fucking bizarre land already.

763
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's what assholes in the I watched the

764
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift video, which I hadn't seen before, but oh

765
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: my god, to just like start that in the middle

766
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: right like it's you know, it's like he's no, he

767
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. He's kind of acknowledging it in

768
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 1: the moment, and the person's calling him on it. It's

769
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 1: just like, dude, what are you doing? How do you

770
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: think this is going to turn out well for you?

771
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: It's the same thing as like if a cop like

772
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: was caught doing something and they started taking off their

773
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: uniform in front of you while you have them on

774
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: camera and putting on like a costume and be like,

775
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. You're like, you

776
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 1: are trying You're trying to obscure the facts right now

777
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: by doing this. No, I'm just playing uh sublime, man.

778
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 1: I mean, where were you at ninety two? I mean

779
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: I was beating the funk out of Rodney King. And

780
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: but that's the whole other story. That's what the cops

781
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: would be saying. Think about the fact that so that

782
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift video was from over a year ago. I

783
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: think it hasn't been taken down, only became popular because

784
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,320
Speaker 1: of how stupid it was, and they're still using this tactic.

785
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: Like think about the level of you know, investigate investigative

786
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: rigor that they're putting into this, which is like their

787
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: way of being like ha ha, no one can catch us.

788
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: And then think about how fucking bad they must be

789
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: at their jobs. They just go around and bully poor people.

790
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: That's all they fucking do. Yeah, I mean this is

791
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: like the same ship, Like how long have we known

792
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: that broken windows policing doesn't work apparently, you know, we

793
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: never knew that because exactly right, it doesn't matter what

794
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: the facts say. It's just about these habits that they have,

795
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: and because on the other side of it, they don't

796
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: actually experience any form of regulating or fallout from their actions,

797
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: like they're just in like the worst form of being,

798
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: like yes, manned into like the worst dumb fucking way

799
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 1: of behaving because all they have is positive reinforcement for

800
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: every dumb fucking idea they have, and you're left with, Yeah,

801
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 1: incompetent people who rarely have to answer for their incompetence,

802
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: only furthering their incompetence. And the way it's written about

803
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: in The New York Times is that broken windows policing

804
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 1: is a tactic used by the m y P in

805
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: an attempt to bring down crime of all sorts. So

806
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 1: they take them at their word of what the intent

807
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 1: is of this thing, and not no like follow up

808
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: or second sentence fragment where they're like, but it obviously

809
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: doesn't work and is effect functionally just a way for

810
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 1: them to control poor and communities of color. Yeah, the

811
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: New York Times is the fucking cops they're really fucking

812
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: bad at their jobs, like worse than I could have

813
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: possibly imagined. I mean, how do you fucking write any art?

814
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 1: How are you going to do anything like balanced in

815
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: terms of journalism and only take like like not being

816
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: discerning in the kind of cherry picked evidence or studies

817
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: are pointed to to like prove your point and in

818
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: no way try to attempt to explain an issue like

819
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: as best as your abilities can as a journal because

820
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: you have the abilities, Like I know, I've read good

821
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: articles in the New York Countians like you guys, you

822
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,840
Speaker 1: are good writers and that you have you employ a

823
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 1: lot of really smart journalists. But I don't know what

824
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: the fuss going on over there. Right, Let's take a

825
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll come back and talk about why

826
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: none of it matters because aliens are gonna come destroy

827
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 1: us anyways. And we're back and just at a surface

828
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 1: levels that have you guys watched any any coach Hella coverage,

829
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: if you watched any of the performances streamed anything. I

830
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 1: just saw pictures of people celebrities that were there. Yeah, yeah,

831
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: I've seen like the two seconds of a Billie Eilish

832
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 1: performance that they keep showing me on Twitter to be

833
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 1: like check it out. It was like the number one

834
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: trending thing for like four days out of the five

835
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: days this week, the same clip over and over again.

836
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if my Twitter like is broke in

837
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 1: or what, but it just felt it felt like they

838
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 1: really wanted me to to watch that. But those two

839
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: seconds looked like there was a lot of energy there.

840
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 1: You know, I I'm not that interested in like watching

841
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: video of live music performances personally, that's just like not

842
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,240
Speaker 1: a thing. I mean unless you're watching like an actual

843
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: produced to like music, like a rock documentary or concert documentary.

844
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, phone footage of a live show not gonna

845
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: kind of work. But I mean, the wildest thing was

846
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: to see uh like Leonardo DiCaprio would like just completely

847
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: masked up, like like blowing through there like some ghost.

848
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: It's just being like I'm here, but you'll never see

849
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: my face and I'm vaping. But the yeah, he he

850
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 1: had a mask on that like covered up most of

851
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: his face. It looked like one of those U those

852
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: uh fencing like masks. So I got some tickets you're

853
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 1: trying to unload jack or what? Yeah? Yeah, I'm just

854
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: saying it looks up tight and like people should maybe

855
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 1: think about like hitting me up on Twitter. G ms

856
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: are open and this weekend second weekends supposed to be

857
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: the best, so just check it out. Uh so that's

858
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: been Coachella. No, So Jackman did this article where they

859
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 1: were talking about, like, you know, coach Ella continues to

860
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: be at the bleeding edge of capitalist bullshit, and there's

861
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 1: like some good points in there. I just think they're

862
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 1: a little bit dismissive of like how potent like this

863
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: this festival and this ideal is. You know, they highlight

864
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 1: the barge barges full of garbage and like months of

865
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:45,280
Speaker 1: water supply being sucked out of a very delicate ecosystem

866
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 1: in single weekends. Uh. This year, there's an n f

867
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: T spin on it where you're given an n f

868
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: T desert flower seed and then you get to sit

869
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: back and watch it bloom. And if you get one

870
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: of the six rare desert flowers, if that's what your

871
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 1: nf T blooms into, you get like, I don't know,

872
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 1: like the big stuffed animal or some sh it. I

873
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: don't know what what's that? Did you get insulin? Oh? Yeah, exactly?

874
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: But truly feels like the the n f T market

875
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: is just evolving into a elementary school carnival. Yeah, they

876
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: and the people who keep hockey them cannot read the room. Ever.

877
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: Zig Cody Ziggler pointed out this thing that there was

878
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: like an n f T like a board ape yacht

879
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 1: club thing that was supposed to be in like in

880
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,399
Speaker 1: like sort of coincide with four twenty and like weed

881
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: justice for black people, but as an n f T,

882
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 1: and you're like, this is all bad, Like this is

883
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: so has completely no awareness at all around what anyone

884
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: thinks of this or even what the imagery is of,

885
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: like putting an ape with like the context of like

886
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:54,240
Speaker 1: black people are incarcerated because of like weed charges um. Anyway,

887
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: it's just yeah that that ball keep throwing steadily. But

888
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: so the detailer jumped out to me is just kind

889
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: of having some familiarity with the history of Americans currently

890
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: known as the Baby Boomers. That Burning Man or Sorry

891
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 1: Coachella was originally designed by its founders as a synthesis

892
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: of nineties music festivals. Burning Man and quote the sixties

893
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 1: era longing for a new world, which three days in

894
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: the desert helps satisfy m M and I just thought

895
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: that was like to be dismissive of that is a mistake.

896
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: That's like so specific and clear, and it was so

897
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: effective with the baby boomers, you know, they had like

898
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: all these revolutionary impulses, and like they took that. And

899
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,439
Speaker 1: with the case of Coachella, they give it a fun,

900
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,720
Speaker 1: like pretty release valve that's neatly contained in the middle

901
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 1: of the desert, doesn't actually have any impact and in

902
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:58,919
Speaker 1: fact enriches American Express or whoever the corporate sponsors are.

903
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 1: But like Woodstock was a music festival conceived by Fifth Avenue,

904
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:09,320
Speaker 1: like admin, and like that history is like only slowly

905
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 1: like trickled out. But any sort of idealism of the

906
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: sixties like got turned into just like advertising aesthetic basically,

907
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 1: and the people who got rich off of that aesthetic

908
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 1: are in the business of making sure that like you understand,

909
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: it's just an aesthetic that is like fun to visit

910
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 1: every once in a while, and you know it's created

911
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: the current world, like the what what happened with the sixties?

912
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: And like I highly recommend the electric kool Aid asset

913
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: tests the tracking of the Mary Prankster's and like the

914
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: LSD movement that sprung up around like The Grateful Dead

915
00:53:55,280 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: and ken Ksi and like that just kind of falling apart.

916
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: But I don't know, like we like that. That's very

917
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 1: that's very potent to be like, yeah, no, we just

918
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: like create this little pop up shop Disneyland for people

919
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: where we you know, make beautiful advertisement versions of the

920
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 1: issues you care about. You get to take home a souvenir,

921
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: you get to take pictures there that like put you

922
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 1: in an environment where it seems like you're actually engaging

923
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: with the thing. And then you're done, and like that

924
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: you can go back to the big loneliness as someone

925
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 1: recently called it when talking about Rec's eggs. And I

926
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: just think it's it's important to recognize that like that

927
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:53,919
Speaker 1: group that like started out with those idealistic impulses are

928
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 1: now the group that's like funding or that's fueling like

929
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: you and on and the rise of Donald Trump and ship.

930
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: So like we have an opportunity to not do that

931
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 1: with a lot of the like energy around social justice

932
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,880
Speaker 1: and social movements. But I think it's important that people

933
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 1: like recognize that this is somewhat insidious. What when it's

934
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:20,880
Speaker 1: like converted into just a an ad for American Express

935
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: that you participate in creating on your Instagram feed. But

936
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 1: you're saying like it's but more than that, the insidious

937
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,879
Speaker 1: nature is to give people this like sort of well

938
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 1: coordinated distraction to just kind of take a little wind

939
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 1: out of the sales. So you're like, yeah, blow some

940
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: steam off at Coachella. Then I can go back to

941
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:44,439
Speaker 1: toiling and not really getting the itch to like cause

942
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: like even your reference this line of saying like spent

943
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 1: to spend three days in like a world that three

944
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 1: days in a new world, longing for a new world,

945
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 1: which three days in the desert helps satisfy just sort

946
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: of subdue the longing for the new world. Yeah, and

947
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: you associated with that, like suddenly your idea for like

948
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: a socialist society or like community where you can like

949
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: be part of a community with other people and like

950
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 1: be outdoors and outdoor spaces, Suddenly that's something you associate

951
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: with like a trip to the desert for three days

952
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 1: instead of something that you like work with your u,

953
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 1: like the people in your community to accomplish uh in

954
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 1: your community. Like it becomes just a part of Disneyland

955
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: of like this like simulacrum of like an idealistic society

956
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 1: that actually is contained by American express, like the like

957
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: try to imagine hearing that like a revolution rose up

958
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: on the Coachella campgrounds, like like it's it's impossible because

959
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 1: it's so carefully tailored. There's also a New Yorker article

960
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 1: that like follows around the guy who created Coachella, and

961
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 1: you know he's just trying to make money. But like

962
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: the thing that was the scariest moment for him in

963
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: the history of the festival was when like people figured

964
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 1: out how to clone the bracelets and like they had

965
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 1: a gate crashing issue, Like it's that's how carefully content

966
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: it is. Well, I mean, I think everyone's so fucked

967
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: up there. I don't know what they're bringing back with

968
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: them at the end of it, but they may be

969
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: subdued by the amount of trucks either way. But yeah,

970
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: it's fine. Like I don't I don't mean to, Like

971
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: I I also don't look down on anyone going to

972
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: Coachella and like going and getting funked up in the

973
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 1: desert and like around music they love. I just I

974
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 1: think it's I don't know, I think the packaging of

975
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 1: it and the engaging with it, like it's not just

976
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: merely that you're going to a music festival. There are

977
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: other people who are trying to do a lot of marketing, normalizing, etcetera.

978
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: Like it's it's not it's not it's not as I

979
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: guess it's not as what it appears to maybe on

980
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 1: the consumer side versus what you know, companies like you're

981
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 1: mentioning get out of it too to associate their name

982
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 1: with like oh, check out the like Pepsi cold water

983
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: filling like station, and now you're like, oh, yeah, they

984
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: the water filling thing from the company that also sucks

985
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 1: drinking water out of the earth, like that sort of

986
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: mixed signaling essentially. Yeah, I don't know, it just it's

987
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: a it feels, you know. The whole thesis of our

988
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 1: show is that there's this collective unconscious and that like

989
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 1: people are smarter than than the mainstream like media apparatus

990
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: like often gives them credit for. And I think like

991
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 1: all of the ship matters, like the messages we get

992
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 1: from the fact that, oh yeah, like the richest family

993
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 1: in Germany are like Nazi billionaires. The Coachella is like

994
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 1: taking all the things that are actually like serious, good,

995
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: beautiful ideas that we should be thinking about incorporating into

996
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 1: our daily lives and like turn them into a aesthetic

997
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,680
Speaker 1: that like you you know, get to bathe in on

998
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: Instagram for a couple of days and then like move

999
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 1: on from Like I think all that stuff is has

1000
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:16,959
Speaker 1: an impact. That is what has kept people advocating, like,

1001
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 1: you know, not advocating for their best interests for the

1002
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 1: past like fifty sixty years. Basically, Yeah, I mean, I

1003
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: wonder if the difference is right because at least boomers

1004
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 1: and Gen xers they were able to benefit from an

1005
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:36,920
Speaker 1: economy that began to subdue a lot of those revolutionary impulses, right,

1006
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 1: because especially with the eighties, we're like, oh, you're yuppies.

1007
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: Now you're sold out or whatever, and it's like, no,

1008
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: I'm now a guy, i M actually have access to wealth.

1009
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 1: But millennials and younger we're not, We're not following that

1010
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: same path. So I think they're I'm I'm I'm curious,

1011
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 1: how like what has to happen where you have to

1012
00:59:56,040 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 1: kind of really take the to subdue the ear is

1013
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: that are so many young people feel now around like

1014
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,919
Speaker 1: saying like dude, I'm completely disillusioned by my lack of opportunity,

1015
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: Like I'm in fact, I've become nihilistic. Where you know,

1016
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: how do you how do you like turn that person

1017
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 1: into like a good, you know, target shopping consumer for

1018
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: life type person, especially when they don't even have the

1019
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 1: money to do stuff within the first place. I mean,

1020
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: I think maybe that's like the weird moment that we're

1021
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 1: into is like that process is a little bit slowing

1022
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: down because of the massive amounts of inequality. Yeah, David,

1023
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: what are what are your thoughts? Both says you know

1024
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: someone from outside the country, but also you know somebody

1025
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:42,439
Speaker 1: who used to report for Bloomberg Like where where where

1026
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 1: do you kind of fall on this whole like moment

1027
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 1: in American idealism? I guess I'm I'm extremely worried about well,

1028
01:00:55,160 --> 01:01:00,240
Speaker 1: particularly what's going on in America the polemic. But so

1029
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:02,439
Speaker 1: and I mean I write about it in the book.

1030
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 1: You know, when I started reporting for Bloomberg News in

1031
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 1: eleven on this team, it was literally the last week

1032
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 1: of November eleven when when Zuccardi Park, when occupied Wall

1033
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 1: Street was forcibly removed overnight. It was the beginning of

1034
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 1: the debate of the one percent versus or now it's

1035
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 1: it's transformed into the zero point one percent versus n

1036
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 1: and that you know, the you know, the bifurcation of

1037
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 1: society and the you know, afterwards came Piccatti, of course,

1038
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: who took at to the next level and also showed

1039
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 1: gave the historical context. But it's only got to gotten

1040
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 1: worse in recent years. And I'm deeply concerned for the

1041
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: future of America. I'm very concerned for the future of

1042
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: Europe as well, because it has so it has similar problems,

1043
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of the incredible inequality of wealth

1044
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: and and and the haves and have not have not.

1045
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 1: You know, is is also undermining you know, the fabric

1046
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: of Europe and European Union as it is in the

1047
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: United States in terms of political spending, on political capital,

1048
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 1: political power, the shaping of American capitalism as it you know,

1049
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,919
Speaker 1: we started off this episode talking about Earth Day and

1050
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 1: and scientists saying, oh, it's going only going to be

1051
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 1: two degrees, you know, in the next century. The problem

1052
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 1: of wealth inequality in one hand, and and and climate

1053
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,440
Speaker 1: change at the other, which very much go hand in hand.

1054
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: You know, I'm I'm really sorry, but I'm worried that

1055
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: it's already you know, it's too late. You know, it's

1056
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 1: that where we're you know, we're on the on the

1057
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: precipice of day of decades of disaster and war and

1058
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: troubles and and you know, I don't know, I'm very

1059
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 1: concerned for the world. Sorry to leave you guys with this.

1060
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's something we all feel because

1061
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 1: it's there's the rigidity of it all when we're seeing

1062
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 1: that the way that the powers that be are the wealthy,

1063
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 1: choose to solve problems and actually exacerbate the existing problems,

1064
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 1: and they can't see that terrible feedback loop that, you know.

1065
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 1: I think that's why a lot of people are like, well,

1066
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 1: I guess the wheels have to completely fall off for

1067
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 1: people to figure it out. Um, but can that happen

1068
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 1: or on the other side of it, even see people

1069
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 1: how they're even saying like, well, you know what, we'll

1070
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 1: spend our way out of climate change. We'll build and

1071
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: innovate our way out of climate change, and we'll just

1072
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 1: spend more money and experiment more rather than just doing

1073
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 1: the very simple thing, which is like begin to switch

1074
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 1: to renewable sources of energy and really have and think

1075
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 1: of like what the amount of you know, carbon output

1076
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:02,439
Speaker 1: that certain industry is or admitting every year. But rather

1077
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 1: than doing that, it's like, no, we'll just keep doing

1078
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 1: this and like we do, if a problem comes up,

1079
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 1: we'll just spend money to try and figure it out.

1080
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 1: But at that point, I just feel like the problems

1081
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: are being insurmountable where no amount of money can be

1082
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 1: spent to, like I don't know, have a desalinization plant

1083
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: that could you know, like hydrate the entire hemisphere. What

1084
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: are we talking about here in that scenario. And I

1085
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 1: think that's what is a little bit disillusioning, is that, oh,

1086
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 1: we see that the same problem solving mentality is we're

1087
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 1: just going to stay in place because of the people

1088
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: that are entower consistent. All right, that's gonna do it

1089
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 1: for this week's weekly Zeitgeys, please like and review the show.
