Speaker 2: that people know.

27
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,200

29
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:17,640

00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: If that weird did you have.

31
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:19,640

32
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,920

00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 3: This means like get ready.

34
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, gird yourself is like you know, I always pictured

35
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: as like, you know, flexing and getting into a crouch

36
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: like a giant wave is about to.

37
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 2: Hit right right right, But we're also not doing miles.

38
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: I didn't, did you. I didn't realize that it's about

39
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: tying your tunic up for battle. Okay, gird your loins.

40
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 4: Boy, Yeah, there's like a whole thing is like how

41
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 4: to gird your loins, And it's like a dude in

42
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 4: a tunic who's just like, yeah, man, wrap that ship

43
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 4: around your balls because it's it's fighting time.

44
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you don't want that ship flapping around. No.

45
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: We we both had truly brutal loss in the NBA PLO.

46
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: We're not going to talk about it.

47
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean it's.

48
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 4: Fine because I've already accepted. I've already I look. I

49
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 4: said this in multiple chats. I said this to Prop

50
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 4: and Sophie Lichterman and other Laker fans.

51
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 3: I know, when they were.

52
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 4: Getting all turned up for the performance that was happening

53
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 4: in Game two.

54
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: I said, bro, this season's over.

55
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 3: I don't know.

56
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: I don't I don't care how much they're leading by.

57
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: It ain't happening.

58
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure enough, we got We both got matching dick kicks.

59
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 3: As I said, who got matching?

60
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: The Sixers got a fucked up into their game with

61
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 4: the Lakers alside of Fu Up and Spider Man.

62
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: Meme with both of us pointing at each other while

63
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: being kicked in. The Dickers lost in brutal, heartbreaking fashion.

64
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: They were up like five with uh you know, less

65
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: than a minute to go and ended up losing it.

66
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 4: Brunton had a terrible game, and he's like, let me

67
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 4: just bring the game closer with this bouncy off the rim.

68
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: Three and to the Kawhi Leonard shot. Also, you're allowed

69
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: to tackle people in the final minute of the game.

70
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 2: Nobody told us that.

71
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 3: If they told us.

72
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: That, we would have played differently.

73
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 3: Man was definitely confused after that.

74
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, there, yeah, And then the Lakers

75
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: were up twenty in the second half and game winner.

76
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: This was a difficult night of basketball.

77
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 4: It look like I said in another thread with Jabbari

78
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 4: and you, it's hard to watch if you have expectations.

79
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: I expected that to happen, so I was like, yeah,

80
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: here they go go ahead and do your thing, bro,

81
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: and we want to bring Darvin Ham back. Okay, all right,

82
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: all right.

83
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: Yeah I try not to watch Sixers games. And then

84
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: you and Jabbari are.

85
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 5: Like whoa, wow, golly wow that yeah you get think, golly,

86
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 5: get on, and then just got my heart ripped out

87
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 5: of my rib cage.

88
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 3: It was yeah.

89
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 4: See, that's the fun part about watching as a neutral

90
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 4: is you get to be invested in it, like whereas

91
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 4: I'm sure other people watch.

92
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: The Lakers like oh this could be interesting, and I was.

93
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, I forget it, but eh, if there were

94
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 4: some gay moments, some Golley moments.

95
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: There were some golly all right, let's talk about people

96
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: that are winning, winning, yes, winners unions right now. Basically,

97
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: the United Auto Workers ratified their contracts with the big

98
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: three automakers in November. We heard about that one that

99
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: was big, huge, and then now they've also there's a

100
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: reason when for the UAW at a Volkswagen plant in

101
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee and everyone's like, shop, the fuckers.

102
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 4: Don't give the labor movement any more fucking props, I mean,

103
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 4: like for them for it to be described as like

104
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 4: historic and stuff.

105
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,239
Speaker 3: It wasn't front page news.

106
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 4: It was buried somewhere, you know, in the recesses of

107
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 4: the Washington Post or New York Times. But you know,

108
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 4: despite the tepid response from the newspapers, the governors of Texas,

109
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 4: South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Georgia, they collect sively

110
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 4: fired off this warning, which was quote, we want to

111
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 4: keep good paying jobs and continue to grow the American

112
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 4: auto manufacturing sector. Here, a successful unionization drive will stop

113
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 4: this growth in its tracks. And that's what you're like

114
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 4: growth for who? Yeah, because how are you going to

115
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 4: tell somebody who's working for wages that their wages not

116
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 4: growing is somehow growth?

117
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

118
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: The reason this is bad for big business is that,

119
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: you know, these state governments are able to recruit like

120
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: German automakers to the US by being like, hey, and

121
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: we can treat our laborers like shit, shit, it's cool man.

122
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

123
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: There's specifically a quote German workers don't relish competing with

124
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: cheaper foreign in this case the United States labor.

125
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's right, and like they're like it's cool. Yeah, man,

126
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 2: it's cool, bro. You can you can absolutely take advantage

127
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: of this labor force out here.

128
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think that's what is interesting about this case, right,

129
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 4: is like cause again, like you said, these governors they

130
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 4: are taking it there. They're kind of having some ownership

131
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 4: of this because of the amounts of subsidies that they

132
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 4: give away to bring the foreign automakers here. And that's

133
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 4: why this is a special case, because there are unionized

134
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: plants in the South, and but this is a foreign plant.

135
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 4: And because of the strength of the unions in Europe,

136
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 4: like these companies like Volkswagen are just not as horny

137
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 4: to go scorts earthed with the union busting. They're just

138
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 4: like yeah, man, it's just like out there, like it's

139
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 4: a bad look. Like you try to stay neutral in

140
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 4: this shit. But the other thing is they've already teamed

141
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 4: up with like Coke funded entities to like make their

142
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 4: states as hostile to unions as possible. There's there's this

143
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 4: group called the American Legislative Exchange Council or ALEC, and

144
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 4: they yeah something, good guys, Yeah, yeah, ALEC, Baldwin, good guy,

145
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 4: good guy, good guy. But they've been banding about this

146
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 4: bill called the Taxpayer Dollars Protect Workers Act that bars

147
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 4: that bars state subsidies to any business that recognize is

148
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 4: a union.

149
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: Oh ok.

150
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 4: Another way to put that is that they will pay

151
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 4: people to ignore the fuck out of unionization drives and

152
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 4: then you can get some state subsidies. So up next

153
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 4: is a Mercedes plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. If you read

154
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: the New York Times, like their labor reporters sort of like, well,

155
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe because't something cold happen. Probably not,

156
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 4: Probably doesn't to worry about here. But if you if

157
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 4: you talk to like union United Autoworkers organizers.

158
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: They are very confident that they are going to have the.

159
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: Numbers to win.

160
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 4: So, you know, I think the Red the governor in Alabama,

161
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,119
Speaker 4: has only like one tactic in trying to convince workers

162
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 4: to avoid unions, and it's essentially just saying, like, just

163
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 4: make less money, right.

164
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, no.

165
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 4: Okay, but they're going to be the party talking to

166
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 4: the working class, right.

167
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: Uh. But who knows?

168
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: I mean, is that an option for companies to just

169
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: ignore union like unions just ignore it?

170
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I think what they're doing is it's mostly

171
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 4: that they of the collection of union authorization cards. Is

172
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 4: what the language that they're using. So it's going to

173
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: be the bills are probably going to be signed. I

174
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 4: think Brian Kemp and Georgia is about to sign it.

175
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 4: K Ivy is about to sign it in Alabama. Like like,

176
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 4: it's just so wild, how like these coke funded groups

177
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,119
Speaker 4: are like, all right, all these auto plants in the South,

178
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 4: We've got bills for all you governors to make this

179
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 4: shit obviously the most hostile shit to workers as possible

180
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 4: and pro corporation as much as possible.

181
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 2: All right, Well, we'll keep an eye on that. Yeah,

182
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: maybe maybe the mainstream media might not.

183
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 4: But it's just weird how they don't want to keep

184
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 4: giving like fanning the momentum of the late organized labor

185
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 4: movement because like just let people know that this is

186
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 4: a way to fucking have, you know, collective power.

187
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we have a couple updates on the

188
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: un RWA or the UN Relief Works Association. That's the

189
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: group that is you know, UN workers who are trying

190
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: to do like humanitarian aid that had Israel basically say

191
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: they are like terrorists.

192
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, which yeah, seemed weird at the time.

193
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

194
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 4: Well, and it was very interesting too because that allegation

195
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 4: caused a lot of Western nations, you know, other settler

196
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 4: colonial nations, be like, well.

197
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 3: Then we're pulling funding. You said they're Hamas well, then

198
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: no way.

199
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 4: And this was the main relief agency that was helping

200
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 4: Palestinian people, So like this was very intentional to be like,

201
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 4: we're going to take away any sort of support mechanisms

202
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 4: that exist for you.

203
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: Well, guess what.

204
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 4: The UN conducted their own investigation in like specifically not

205
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 4: about how many people were involved on October seventh, because

206
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 4: that's a separate allegation, but there was allegations of like

207
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 4: militancy within the within this organization. The UN and multiple

208
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 4: human rights organizations said they they could find no evidence

209
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 4: that these people were like actively militant or had like

210
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 4: ties to Hamas, and they said the Israeli government specifically

211
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: said this specifically in their report has not provided supporting

212
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 4: evidence for this allegation at all. As they were asking them,

213
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 4: we're like, well, we're doing an investigation, Like we can't

214
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 4: get that to you.

215
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: Quite quite yet, We're still doing the investigation. And while

216
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: we are, we feel like the best course of action

217
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: is to act as though we have found evidence of.

218
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

219
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 4: And meanwhile, you know there's the reports of like mass grave,

220
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 4: like this mass grave at a hospital in Gaza, and

221
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 4: the Secretary of State like when asked about it, he's.

222
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 2: Like, Okay, well, yeah, we'll look into that.

223
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 4: As if we're talking about someone saying like the water

224
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 4: cooler is fucking broken in the breakroom, like we're fucking like,

225
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 4: this is just what's so frustrating thing for so many

226
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 4: onlookers Like that is such a demonic response when most

227
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 4: people understand now like the US has floor seats their

228
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 4: front row for this shit, and they're raw rahing it

229
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 4: and throwing their bills into the ring, and the best

230
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 4: is like, yeah, we'll look into that, and the like

231
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 4: the double speak of like well you know there's there's

232
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 4: going to be repercussions or whatever. We're not seeing anything

233
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 4: like that, and inocent people continue to die.

234
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

235
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I'd like to say do better, but fucking

236
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 4: do better because there's fucking genocide happening. And then that

237
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 4: also ties into this Columbia University story. So over the

238
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 4: weekend there were you know, like over one hundred pro

239
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 4: Palestinian protesters were arrested on the campus of Columbia University.

240
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 4: Like the police cleared out this like encampment that the

241
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 4: students had set up again because they're saying stop the genocide,

242
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 4: and this was wild the New York the NYPD cleared

243
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 4: them out and this fucking responsible.

244
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 3: The New York.

245
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 4: New York Police Department was criticized by the NYPD. The

246
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 4: Chief of Police, John Chell stated that, quote, the students

247
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 4: that were arrested were peaceful, offered no resistance whatsoever, and

248
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 4: we're saying what they wanted to say in a peaceful manner.

249
00:11:58,840 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

250
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: Point the NYPD is like, you're kind of like fucking

251
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: up here.

252
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 3: I'll see what the fuck that was all about.

253
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 4: And then again Monday, we heard that they were moving

254
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 4: classes to be held virtually because there was like one

255
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 4: group on campus that Columbia's Orthodox Union Jewish Learning Initiatives

256
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 4: said that students should stay home. There was another group

257
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 4: Columbia and Barnard Helll They said, we don't see a

258
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 4: reason for people to stay off of campus, like we

259
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 4: have not assessed any danger to students there. But this

260
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 4: like goes on again because now people are like the

261
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 4: media is doing this thing of conflating anti genocide, anti apartheid,

262
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 4: pro piece pro Palestinian nonviolent protest with like like violent

263
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 4: anti semitism, and it's true, there are fucking bad actors

264
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 4: and there are people who are completely taking this message

265
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 4: the complete wrong way.

266
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that that's not happen y.

267
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: They there are anti there's anti Semitism, and like people

268
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: using this as an opportunity to foster anti semachism online.

269
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: In reality, for sure, there's also widespread Islamophobia that doesn't

270
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: get mentioned by the same time.

271
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 4: And again, but I think with Columbia specifically, it's really

272
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 4: important to understand they have they have like no one

273
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 4: right now, Like with that unfolding, the only people that

274
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 4: were allowed on the campus of Colombia were people who

275
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 4: had Columbia University IDs. So a lot of people are

276
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 4: looking at protests that are happening just outside of the

277
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 4: campus and saying this is part of the Columbia students protest,

278
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 4: which has a different energy than the peaceful protests that

279
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 4: were happening on campus, like with the students, and I

280
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 4: think that's like it's context that isn't really being provided

281
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 4: much into something I've read from a lot of the

282
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 4: criticism about the coverage of these protests, when again, like

283
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 4: the other thing too that they're also these students are protesting,

284
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 4: was getting the university to also divest quote from its

285
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 4: financial holdings in firms that profit from Israel's war and

286
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 4: occupation in Palestine. So it's just yeah, it's it's just

287
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 4: fucking mass confusion. But more protests have popped up on

288
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 4: other college campuses and solidarity. We saw also at NYU

289
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 4: there were the professors were like locking arms to protect

290
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 4: the students and their ability to peacefully protest. So it's

291
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 4: I don't know, I feel like we're seeing more of

292
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 4: like a sea change slightly like in kind of like

293
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 4: what we're seeing on like mainstream campuses or whatever. But

294
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 4: the real changes need to happen with the US government

295
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 4: and actually doing something rather than I don't know, Joe

296
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 4: Biden just like kissing his chances of being president goodbye.

297
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll

298
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: be right back.

299
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: And we're back.

300
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 3: We're back.

301
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: Typewriter enthusiasts are a group of people. Tom Hanks is

302
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: one that's about as far as my knowledge of typewriter

303
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: enthusiasts goes.

304
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's right. He's like a collector, right, he's

305
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: a typewriter collector.

306
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, And there's like a brief period where I was

307
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: like really into writing when I was young, and I

308
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: was like I should like start using a typewriter.

309
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: That oh that was like you like Hemingway, like a

310
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 2: cigarette dangling from your lip. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

311
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: And then I got one and like that shit is

312
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: so hard to type on my god, I got like

313
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: literally I got a sentence into my typewriter era and

314
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: was like, well, this doesn't work at all for me.

315
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 3: My pinky hurts.

316
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but anyways, Keller Swift's new album has had a

317
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: lot of typewriter based imagery and its promotion. There's a

318
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: lyric reveal video and the music video for the song Fortnite,

319
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: in which she and posts malone pound away at typewriters,

320
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: creating some kind of like swirly magical sex cloud thing.

321
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 2: I know, did the colors have to be so like

322
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 2: gender heteronormative. She has alue and hers are pink.

323
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 4: It's a boy because yeah, and that's how you know

324
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 4: that those things were fucking because they wanted to make

325
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 4: it clear that yeah, it's blue wave and pink wave.

326
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: But fans even noticed that the typewriter used in the

327
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: video contained a secret message because it had no number

328
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: one key. But she's had songs that are like you

329
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: could have been the one, you know, so this is

330
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: implying that she has lost her one or no one

331
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: else is ever going to be the one.

332
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: Thank you.

333
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: Except in reality, that's how all typewriters were made, because

334
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: people just used the lower case l's for ones to

335
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: save space and reduce costs, because you typewriters were like,

336
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: you know, you paid by the key.

337
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 4: It's a straight line, man, you need one, you got

338
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 4: to you got two ways you can do that on.

339
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 2: You, But yeah, I don't know.

340
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: Paranoid typewriter hobbyists are worried that Taylor Swift's endorsement will

341
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: lead to an influx of Taylor Swift fans buying old typewriters,

342
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: which will drive up the cost.

343
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 3: I don't think so, guys.

344
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: I think the lyrics to the the title song of

345
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: the album like make fun of Like this is literally

346
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: the lyrics, right you left your typewriter at my apartment,

347
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: straight from the Tortured Poets department. I think some things

348
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: I never say, like who uses typewriters anyway? Damn you

349
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,119

Speaker 4: everybody to stay still while you'd use your phosphorus flash bar.

362
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: That's right, doesn't make it cool. I like the sound

363
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: of typewriters. I just can't be bothered to actually do

364
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: the do the work of powering them. Remember word processors

00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 4: Because when she was like writing for Japanese magazine and stuff,

368
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 4: I remember she would always bring this heavy ass word processor.

381
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: was some school shit though.

382
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 2: Dude, when you set the fucking tree on fire by

383
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 2: jumping over it, that was sick.

384
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 3: Ah.

00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 3: He would come out? Yeah, that part.

387
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: Let's see a millionaire went homeless as a social experiment

388
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: with the goal of making one million dollars in twelve months, and.

389
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 4: He did this guy fucking goon, he fucking He's like,

390
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 4: I'm going so I'm putting myself into debt, I'm losing

391
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 4: all my money and guess what, I'm gonna get to

392
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 4: a million bucks. And he's like starts off talking about

393
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 4: how he has no home. He's like LARPing as like

394
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 4: a working person.

395
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 3: Basically it was kind of fucking obviously offensive.

396
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 2: But then like eventually like he started having health.

397
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 4: Issues and he's like, guys, it's just there's no way

398
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 4: to do this like when you have health issues and

399
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 4: like health.

400
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 2: It's not fair and it's not fair.

401
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 3: It's not here.

402
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 4: Actually this is like it's not fair enough to do this,

403
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 4: so I'm do it anymore, like and he pulled the

404
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 4: plug on it.

405
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: Fortunately, nobody in real world, none of the unhoused people

406
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: that he saw and were like, yeah, right, no way

407
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,480

408
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 1: simply get a high paying job and save a million dollars.

409
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: Those people, fortunately never have health problems and that drive

410
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: them into debt.

411
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:22,439
