Speaker 1: What's going on? Am I in the Twilight Zone? People
Speaker 1: are now saying that wasn't William and Kate at the
Speaker 1: farm stand? Is someone telling me that wasn't them? Are
Speaker 1: people insane? But that doesn't mean that the palace put
Speaker 1: those people there. That means those people know they look
Speaker 1: like them and were like, let's fuck with everybody. What's
Speaker 1: going on? Like, that's not possible. She's just if that's
Speaker 1: the case, someone else did it and they're just home
Speaker 1: because she's recovering. What is going on? There's no way, guys,
Speaker 1: I literally have entered another dimension. I don't know where
Speaker 1: I am. I'm not sure what's happening. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's only on social media that this goes on.
Speaker 1: But then I go google it and it seems like
Speaker 1: other people say this. I don't understand. There's like, let's
Speaker 1: just stop and discuss the fact that there's no way
Speaker 1: that a real like a monarchy put out a picture
Speaker 1: that was fake. Like, there's no way that that just happened.
Speaker 1: So I don't get it. And there's no way that
Speaker 1: she did that herself, because she's too immaculate and impeccable.
Speaker 1: Is there an alien? Is this what's going on? Is
Speaker 1: someone like is there like a bot that's controlling all this.
Speaker 1: I'm so incredibly confused. I genuinely don't understand. I am
Speaker 1: so stupid. I believe everything I see and read, like
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go to McDonald's and and the
Speaker 1: people that are in the commercial are gonna be in
Speaker 1: there serving me French fries. What's going on? I'm very confused.
Speaker 1: There's tell me something, because I I like thought I
Speaker 1: was so right, like ugh, but the farm stand did
Speaker 1: seem a little strange, just like bopping through like hey,
Speaker 1: we're okay, but we're not saying anything. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: make an announcement. What's going on? What's going on? Maybe
Speaker 1: you guys are right, I'm so confused. If you're smarter
Speaker 1: than I am, and I'm I'm not saying I'm that smart.
Speaker 1: I just I don't understand. I don't understand you guys.
Speaker 1: I'm freaking out. I don't actually understand. I don't even
Speaker 1: I didn't even know that I cared about this, but
Speaker 1: that really threw me the picture and that through me. Wow,
Speaker 1: I want to discuss something that I think is really
Speaker 1: positive happening in the media. Right now. So Chris Cuomo
Speaker 1: and Tucker Carlson had a conversation and they're on opposite
Speaker 1: party sides, and I think we're onto something here with
Speaker 1: people sitting down and not listening to the inside of
Speaker 1: their own brain and being able to have a conversation.
Speaker 1: I've been talking about this for so long because we
Speaker 1: were on The Housewives before the election, and I remember
Speaker 1: one member of our cast like rolling their eyes and
Speaker 1: making like, oh my god, you know better than judgments
Speaker 1: about other people and who they might be voting for.
Speaker 1: And to me, that's not helping anybody because you're not
Speaker 1: having a living, breathing conversation. You're just listening to your
Speaker 1: own viewpoints. And I think that talking to someone who
Speaker 1: does not agree with you is so healthy, like okay,
Speaker 1: but a civilized conversation. We've gotten to the point in
Speaker 1: our society where you say I'm voting for Donald Duck
Speaker 1: and someone's like, oh my god, you're so stupid. I
Speaker 1: worked at ABC News for years and I have all
Speaker 1: this credibility, and so therefore who I'm voting for makes
Speaker 1: me smarter than you, and that is intimidating and alienating.
Speaker 1: And there were people on our show that were voting
Speaker 1: for one candidate but were secretly hiding it and wouldn't
Speaker 1: admit it. And that's how people were secretly voting and
Speaker 1: closet voting. And it's not a living, breathing conversation. And
Speaker 1: we are adults and we can talk. And all over
Speaker 1: social media you see people that are like, oh, you're Karen,
Speaker 1: you did this, or you know, if you like Megan Markle,
Speaker 1: then you must have voted for Trump, or if you
Speaker 1: like Taylor Swift, then you must have voted for Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 1: When it's an absurd thing to say. Those are not
Speaker 1: the same people. And people assign all these bizarre constructs
Speaker 1: to politics. So I like Tucker Carlson and Chris Cuomo
Speaker 1: talking to each other, and I like Elon and Don
Speaker 1: Lemon talking to each other. They disagree. Congratulations amazing. Don
Speaker 1: Lemon thinks that Elon Musk has a responsibility to place
Speaker 1: guardrails on social media content. Elon Musk feels that he
Speaker 1: has a public social media application that five hundred million
Speaker 1: people are on and that's like a public highway that
Speaker 1: he can't create his own guard rails. But Don Lemon,
Speaker 1: they both are having an educated, intelligent conversation. It did
Speaker 1: not end up going well, and that's their own. I
Speaker 1: don't know why, and I don't really care, but I
Speaker 1: care about having discussions of people that you don't agree
Speaker 1: with without attacking them, just so the viewers can watch
Speaker 1: this public sport. You may think the Patriots are going
Speaker 1: to win, and someone else may think the Saints are
Speaker 1: gonna win. Let's watch the game ourselves and decide who
Speaker 1: played better and who we want to root for next time.
Speaker 1: It's okay to disagree, but it's not okay to attack
Speaker 1: people for their different beliefs and viewpoints. Twenty twenty four. People,
Speaker 1: get your shit together and allow for a living, breathing conversation,
Speaker 1: and you learn more from someone who disagrees with you
Speaker 1: than the voices inside your head. And going to talk
Speaker 1: to puppets that believe in exactly what you believe in.
Speaker 1: It's time for like movement, forward movement, And I love
Speaker 1: this model. And these guys are on both been let
Speaker 1: go from CNN, and they're on these alternative platforms producing
Speaker 1: their own content, and I love that journey. So everybody
Speaker 1: who thinks that you should only be talking to people
Speaker 1: who agree with you, think about how small your brain
Speaker 1: and mind. Is the fact that Taylor Swift has such
Speaker 1: influence on the vote is so powerful and yet scary
Speaker 1: at the same time for her, I guess in general
Speaker 1: for the system that someone could have that kind of power.
Speaker 1: I think I've said this before, but it's almost like
Speaker 1: a monopoly. When a company or a chain or something
Speaker 1: gets too big, it has too much power. I don't
Speaker 1: know that we've ever really had a person have that
Speaker 1: much power. Because Taylor Swift, combined with social media, is unstoppable.
Speaker 1: I mean, we saw the influence she had on the
Speaker 1: super Bowl that was astonishing and astounding, to bring in
Speaker 1: record numbers that exceeded the moon landing, It's it's crazy.
Speaker 1: I think the responsibility if I were her would be
Speaker 1: to encourage people to vote, like that's the power that
Speaker 1: I believe that she has. To encourage people to get
Speaker 1: educated on what's going on. And it's hard to even
Speaker 1: tell people how to do that because everything that we're
Speaker 1: getting educated on with politics and the election is whatever's
Speaker 1: being spoon fed to us by whatever network we're choosing
Speaker 1: to watch. There's so much confirmation biased. If you want
Speaker 1: to hear one thing, you go on CNN. If you
Speaker 1: want to hear another thing, you go on Fox, if
Speaker 1: you want to only go by party lines, you listen
Speaker 1: to people who are saying things that you can predict
Speaker 1: that they're saying because it's on brand. And I think
Speaker 1: that for her to encourage people to vote and to
Speaker 1: get educated on each candidate, on the matters that are
Speaker 1: important to each person and think about how it affects them,
Speaker 1: I think that that's the most I think that that's
Speaker 1: the best use of her superpower because I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just a responsibility. Like it's like she has the responsibilit
Speaker 1: of the switch. She can decide who she wants to
Speaker 1: be president and probably make that happen. So that feels
Speaker 1: also scary, Like from a security standpoint, right, think about it,
Speaker 1: if she had the power to just affect the stock market,
Speaker 1: which frankly she also does, which is also frightening, that
Speaker 1: would be you know, her security has to be extraordinary.
Speaker 1: People talk about Kim Kardashian's security as a person, Kim
Speaker 1: Kardashian has valuable assets, and with Taylor, it's like the
Speaker 1: fact that she is the power that she could affect
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, the election, the stock market, commerce. That
Speaker 1: is a tremendous heavy as the ground. That is a
Speaker 1: tremendous responsibility in knowing that what she says goes. That's remarkable.
Speaker 1: So that's a conundrum, I'm sure because I'm sure she's
Speaker 1: experiencing pressure about how to use her voice during an
Speaker 1: important time, and I wonder what she will do
