Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: From New York City, the only city in America. It's
Speaker 2: The Show, then Intested news This It's The Daily Show
Speaker 2: with your home the Show.
Speaker 3: Welcome, Welcome to The Daily Show. Welcome, Welcome to The
Speaker 3: Daily Show. I'm Michelle Wolf and I am back again.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 3: Yes, apparently for every hostage freed in the Middle East,
Speaker 3: I get to host one extra night. I don't know
Speaker 3: how my agents sneaked out into the Seaspire deal, but
Speaker 3: here we are, and we've got a great show for
Speaker 3: you tonight. So let's get to the headlines. Let's begin
Speaker 3: with our friend George Santos. It's pat of Congress. I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: but what is he? Is He a man, a woman, Asian, Latina, Latina,
Speaker 3: several children stacked on top of each other, an old
Speaker 3: woman from the future. But one thing we know for sure.
Speaker 3: He'll be a Congressman for at least a few more hours.
Speaker 5: The clock is now ticking on the brief, tumultuous congressional
Speaker 5: career of New York Republican George Santos.
Speaker 4: The House can vote as early as tomorrow and whether
Speaker 4: to expel the unbattled Republican after an investigation found evidence
Speaker 4: of flagrant ethics violations, but he's not going down quietly.
Speaker 5: I have co a colleague who are more worried about
Speaker 5: getting drunk every night with the next lobbyists that they're
Speaker 5: going to screw and pretend like none of us know
Speaker 5: what's going on. Happens every single week. Where are the
Speaker 5: ethics investigations? And that within the United States Congress, there's
Speaker 5: Fellon's door, There's people with all sorts of sisty backgrounds,
Speaker 5: and all of a sudden, George Santos is the very
Speaker 5: Magdalene of the United States Congress.
Speaker 3: Yes, the Mary Magdalene of Congress.
Speaker 6: This is just like George Santos, you know which Biblical
Speaker 6: center I am the hot one.
Speaker 3: But let's make one thing very clear. If any Republican
Speaker 3: is Mary Magdalene, it's Ronda Santis. I mean with those
Speaker 3: hooker boots. Come on, he's clearly working the streets at night.
Speaker 3: He's like, I'll seck you if you teach me how
Speaker 3: to smile normal. Okay, where was I? Yeah, George Santo's
Speaker 3: he's about to be just the sixth person in history
Speaker 3: to get thrown out of Congress, and he thinks it's
Speaker 3: unfair because everyone else is corrupt too, which, yeah, definitely,
Speaker 3: we know the government is corrupt, and all these guys
Speaker 3: are doing the same thing you do, George. The difference
Speaker 3: is they're doing it way better than you. It's so
Speaker 3: easy to figure out your crimes. It's not even fun.
Speaker 3: It's like doing an escape room in a gazebo. And
Speaker 3: the thing is, the thing is, I do believe you, George.
Speaker 3: I do believe that congressmen are getting drunk, sleeping with lobbyists,
Speaker 3: and profiting as much as possible at the expense of
Speaker 3: the people. We all know that already. What we don't
Speaker 3: know are the specifics. Tell us who, what, where, which
Speaker 3: orifics we need you, George, snitch, snitch my sweater vested friend.
Speaker 3: In fact, we'll make a deal, right We'll make a
Speaker 3: deal with you right now. You can stay in Congress
Speaker 3: if you're our inside guy, you know, our little congress TMZ.
Speaker 3: I'll even move to your district to vote for you.
Speaker 3: Where is this district. It's long Island. I will tell
Speaker 3: people to move to your district. And just by the way,
Speaker 3: if you want to survive this explosion, vote maybe try
Speaker 3: just try to take one photo where you don't look
Speaker 3: like you were caught while committing a crime. Well, guy,
Speaker 3: it looks like he's rifling through Nancy Pelosi's purse while
Speaker 3: she's in the bathroom, or like he's saying, don't mind
Speaker 3: me just duct taping a knife under this chair for
Speaker 3: no reason. That's the look I give when when someone
Speaker 3: in the second floor window sees me peeing in an alley.
Speaker 3: That's the kind of photo they tape up next to
Speaker 3: the Sepphoria register. Like this guy can't back, come back,
Speaker 3: he keeps licking the testers. But let's move on to
Speaker 3: some big news out of the twenty twenty four election,
Speaker 3: our twenty twenty four lead. Come guys, cue the music.
Speaker 7: You know I love the election.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 3: It's like Elvis Costello than me. Hold on, come on, Tapper,
Speaker 3: is this really what news is now? Are you just
Speaker 3: trying to be relatable? I don't want relatable. I want reliable.
Speaker 3: If I want relatable shit, I'll go on TikTok. Who
Speaker 3: gets a guy that's like, what's up? Fam? I'm gonna
Speaker 3: give you the lowdown on why Bounden bin Laden is
Speaker 3: a milf. Let's try again with someone else, because this
Speaker 3: is big news. It looks like some of America's most
Speaker 3: influential billionaire election medlers have just made a brand new purchase.
Speaker 8: Big news today, in the twenty twenty four presidential election,
Speaker 8: Nikki Haley picked up the endorsement of the political action
Speaker 8: Network founded by the billionaire Koch Brothers in the Republican primary.
Speaker 8: The influential group is launching a multimillion dollar ad campaign
Speaker 8: this week in all early voting states. And this gives
Speaker 8: the former South Carolina governor and you an ambassador, a
Speaker 8: major boost less than seven weeks before the Iowa caucuses.
Speaker 3: Oh, Nikki Haley, shattering the glass ceiling of dark money.
Speaker 3: You go grow Seriously, this is a big gift for her.
Speaker 3: With the backing of the coke neckwork, she could go
Speaker 3: from losing to Trump and DeSantis to just losing to Trump.
Speaker 3: This is like giving someone a step stool to install
Speaker 3: a light bulb. I mean, yeah, you're closer, but you're
Speaker 3: still gonna need like three Polish people. What do you want, guys?
Speaker 3: I got one more day here, Okay, let's do more
Speaker 3: jokes to get mad about. And don't get me wrong,
Speaker 3: I'm glad that a gross old billionaire is giving money
Speaker 3: to a woman, and it's not to shit on his
Speaker 3: chest because that that feels like progress. But Nikki Haley,
Speaker 3: are you picturing it? Is it steaming in your mind?
Speaker 3: It's hot poop and it's a very cold chick more. Okay,
Speaker 3: Nikki Hilly, this is she's literally down fifty points to
Speaker 3: Donald Trump. She has less chance of being president than
Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton. Yeah. I know it's said should have gone
Speaker 3: to Wisconsin, Hillary, It's a direct flight you could have gone. Look,
Speaker 3: Republicans voters have been very clear they want Donald Trump,
Speaker 3: and Democratic voters have been very not clear. They're just like,
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, Uh, do you know a guy?
Speaker 3: Maybe someone young? You know, someone seventy eight, seventy nine.
Speaker 3: But Trump is going to be the Republican nominee, So
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter how much money billionaires spend propping up
Speaker 3: other candidates. It's all a waste of money. I almost
Speaker 3: feel bad for these guys. They're so used to being
Speaker 3: able to buy the president, and this time they're sitting
Speaker 3: on their yacht going, what's wrong with our money button?
Speaker 3: It's not working. I think it's stock.
Speaker 9: Charles, did you splooge on the money button again?
Speaker 3: Can you believe we can say splooge. And the crazy
Speaker 3: thing is I actually wish it would work this time.
Speaker 3: I wish they could buy the election. Listen, in a
Speaker 3: perfect world, billionaires wouldn't influence elections. But we're clearly not
Speaker 3: in a perfect world because Donald Trump is winning. So billionaires,
Speaker 3: get your act together and buy this election. Bye this election,
Speaker 3: Bye this election, Bye this election. Oh my god, you
Speaker 3: guys are a bunch of sheeps. And finally, in business news,
Speaker 3: Bye Bye Baby is reopening stores again after going bankrupt
Speaker 3: earlier this year. And when I heard this news, at first,
Speaker 3: I got very excited because I heard Bye Bye Baby
Speaker 3: is back, and I thought for a second that meant
Speaker 3: abortion was legal again. But unfortunately it's just a store.
Speaker 3: So for more on the revival of Bye Bye Baby,
Speaker 3: let's go to live Now to Grace Koleinchmid not great, Grace,
Speaker 3: this is great news for young parents like me, Oh
Speaker 3: is it?
Speaker 9: How about you think of someone besides yourself for once
Speaker 9: in your goddamn life, Like I don't know someone who
Speaker 9: had the genius idea of moving into a Bye Bye
Speaker 9: Baby three months ago and now has nowhere to go.
Speaker 3: Grace, have you been living in an abandoned Bye Bye baby.
Speaker 9: Not Initially, At first, I was just hired to come
Speaker 9: in and clean out the rat traps. But once I
Speaker 9: got in here, I realized it's.
Speaker 3: The perfect house.
Speaker 10: It's close to work, it's spacious, and baby wipes are
Speaker 10: basically the same thing as showering. Plus there's so many
Speaker 10: squeezy apple sauces and mush carrots.
Speaker 3: I may never have to chew food again. Gray sweet,
Speaker 3: put that down, put that it's not snack time.
Speaker 9: But I'm honey, and now that the story is coming back,
Speaker 9: what am I gonna do?
Speaker 3: I know you could get an apartment, like an adult
Speaker 3: who's not a baby get an apartment.
Speaker 9: Why America is littered with giant carcasses of retail chains
Speaker 9: that were fuck blood dry by private equity.
Speaker 3: I should hit to live here before the raccoons do.
Speaker 9: Plus, have you seen the housing market? Low inventory, sky,
Speaker 9: high interest rates, and once you move in there's all
Speaker 9: kinds of sharp corners and exposed outlets.
Speaker 3: It's scowy. I'm sorry, Grace, but you had to know
Speaker 3: you couldn't live in a store forever.
Speaker 9: It's not just my house, it's also my income. I
Speaker 9: have a very sick, sucessful OnlyFans accounts.
Speaker 3: Just from living here. You have no idea how.
Speaker 9: Many people will pay an adult woman to do tummy time.
Speaker 3: This nation has problems, It certainly does, so how are
Speaker 3: you going to stop Bye Bye baby from moving back in?
Speaker 9: Luckily, if there's one thing I learned, it's that if
Speaker 9: I shut my eyes, the problem will disappear.
Speaker 3: Grace, Grace, you have object permanence.
Speaker 9: No, I don't know, I don't You're wrong, you're wrong.
Speaker 3: Where'd you go? Where'd you go? Where did you go? Grace?
Speaker 3: We're going to talk about this later, Grace Grace school
Speaker 3: inshmid everybody. When we come back, we find out the
Speaker 3: best way to lose all your money. So so go away,
Speaker 3: Welcome back to the Daily Show. There's one thing that
Speaker 3: we Americans love, it's going deeper into debt. We'll put
Speaker 3: anything on the credit card, whether it's the latest iPhone
Speaker 3: we just gotta have or that new kidney transplant that
Speaker 3: we really seriously got a half, and American banks are
Speaker 3: happy to lend us money however we want, including one
Speaker 3: type of loan that you might have seen advertise on TV.
Speaker 1: Homeowners in need of cash can take out a special
Speaker 1: loan called a reverse mortgage. It lets homeowners borrow money
Speaker 1: against the value of their home and only repay when
Speaker 1: they die or sell the home. Critics argue that reverse
Speaker 1: mortgages can quickly bury people under debt, forcing them out
Speaker 1: of their homes and their children out of inheritance, and
Speaker 1: some lenders have even been fined for deceiving customers, but
Speaker 1: that hasn't stopped lenders from targeting elderly homeowners with ads
Speaker 1: featuring celebrities like Tom Selleck. This isn't my first rodeo,
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something.
Speaker 10: I wouldn't be here if I thought reverse mortgages took
Speaker 10: advantage of any American senior.
Speaker 3: That's right, a reverse mortgage, you just sign over your
Speaker 3: house to Tom Selleck in exchange for money and something
Speaker 3: something everybody wins. It's not a scam. It's not. If
Speaker 3: it was a scam, why would they advertise it NonStop
Speaker 3: to elderly people. Now, of course, there's always going to
Speaker 3: be some companies that are going to sell reverse mortgages
Speaker 3: and bad faith. Luckily, there's a new company with a
Speaker 3: celebrity that you can really trust. Hi.
Speaker 6: I'm Michelle Wolf with agg and like anyone walking down
Speaker 6: a country road, I'm here to sell you a reverse mortgage.
Speaker 7: It's time to consider a reverse mortgage.
Speaker 6: Most people think a reverse mortgage is a financial skin.
Speaker 3: To trick old people out of their homes.
Speaker 6: With AGG our programs, different AGG also gives you legal ownership.
Speaker 3: Of a course.
Speaker 6: Most reverse mortgages and with you losing your house, or
Speaker 6: dying and losing your house, or dying and losing your.
Speaker 3: House and saddling your kids with debt. But with Reverse
Speaker 3: Mortgage Horse, you won't have time.
Speaker 6: To worry about any of that because you're also going
Speaker 6: to have a horse, a full grown, often problematic horse.
Speaker 6: I'm talking emotional issues, severe dietary.
Speaker 3: Restriction, some of them literally wanted for crimes.
Speaker 6: You'll be spending so much time on the horse you
Speaker 6: won't even notice all the debt you've taken on. And
Speaker 6: when you die, most likely because the horse killed you.
Speaker 3: Your kids will be left with that debt. But don't worry,
Speaker 3: they'll also be left with the horse.
Speaker 6: Thanks to Agg's policies, your children won't be able to
Speaker 6: sell or kill the horse. They'll be so mad at
Speaker 6: you they won't even be sad you're gone. That's why
Speaker 6: I Reverse Mortgage Horse isn't just good for your anxiety.
Speaker 6: It's a gift to your children. I'm not doing this
Speaker 6: commercial because I need the money. I'm doing it because
Speaker 6: I want the money, and you can trust us.
Speaker 3: We're a bank.
Speaker 6: When if we ever let you down, and I know
Speaker 6: what you're thinking, and the answer is yes, you're gonna
Speaker 6: see a lot of horse teams.
Speaker 11: If you're sixty two and older and have no financial
Speaker 11: or horse knowledge. Called agg today, reverse mortgage horse It's
Speaker 11: just as bad as a reverse mortgage, but with a horse.
Speaker 11: Don't forget to ask about our home equity beavers.
Speaker 3: When we come back, Mandy his time will be joining
Speaker 3: me on the show, so don't go away. Welcome back
Speaker 3: to the Daily Show. My guest tonight hosts for Betty
Speaker 3: Hassan Show on MSNBC. He's the author of the New
Speaker 3: York Times bestselling Win Every Argument. Please welcome Madi Hassan. Oh, Maddie,
Speaker 3: it is great to have you here. Thanks for being here,
Speaker 3: Thank you for having me. Great great your book, Win
Speaker 3: Every Argument? Is this the perfect gift to give to
Speaker 3: one person in a couple.
Speaker 12: I'm an author. I'm here to plug a book. I
Speaker 12: want everyone in the audience to buy the book.
Speaker 7: I want everyone at.
Speaker 12: Home to buy the book, but I beg you not
Speaker 12: to buy the book for your partner or to use
Speaker 12: on your partner.
Speaker 7: It's a disclaimer I have at the very start of
Speaker 7: the book.
Speaker 12: I can barely win an argument with my wife. I
Speaker 12: argue for a living, and it's been a long time
Speaker 12: since I wont an argument.
Speaker 7: I'm said this book. It's everyone everywhere except couples.
Speaker 3: That's great. I'm still going to get it for me.
Speaker 7: Good luck.
Speaker 3: Obviously, there's you know, a lot, a lot of debate,
Speaker 3: a lot of discussion on It's a tense time in
Speaker 3: the world, and in particular, there's been a lot of
Speaker 3: censorship around Palestinian voices and people who are even pushing
Speaker 3: against what Israel actions in Gaza, you know, in real
Speaker 3: censorship too, you know, like on meta platforms, you know,
Speaker 3: being prohibited from saying anything on I don't know, satirical
Speaker 3: news programs. So how how are you supposed to argue
Speaker 3: or debate or even advocate for people if you're not
Speaker 3: even allowed to.
Speaker 6: Speak on it.
Speaker 7: It's a great question.
Speaker 12: And one of the reasons I wrote the book was
Speaker 12: because we have not just a lot of censorship right
Speaker 12: now in the world, in our societies, in the press,
Speaker 12: but of course foreign conflicts, domestic politics. We have a
Speaker 12: former president who threatens the network I work for, threatens
Speaker 12: the free press every day.
Speaker 7: And one of the reasons I wrote.
Speaker 12: The book was because I wanted to equip ordinary people,
Speaker 12: good people, good faith act as decent people with the
Speaker 12: skills and the rhetorical tricks and techniques to push back
Speaker 12: against the bullies and the bigots and the authoritarians and
Speaker 12: the gas lighters, because there's so many of them these days.
Speaker 12: They've taken over our public square. They've taken over some
Speaker 12: of our foreign policy debates, and therefore you can't just
Speaker 12: put your head in the sand and operate in the
Speaker 12: old way or run away from this stuff. And I
Speaker 12: have a whole chapter in the book about how you
Speaker 12: deal with what I call gish gallopers, people who just
Speaker 12: want to overload you with bs. We all know people
Speaker 12: like that in our public squares. So I'm trying to
Speaker 12: equip people with the skills to say, you know what,
Speaker 12: when I'm confronted with someone who lies or cuts me off,
Speaker 12: or tries to talk over me or gas lights, I
Speaker 12: have the skills, I have the rhetorical techniques going back
Speaker 12: centuries to be able to say no, no, we're.
Speaker 7: Going to speak out.
Speaker 12: And I think, look on the conflict you mentioned, I
Speaker 12: am someone who has a show on television, right, you know,
Speaker 12: sometimes I'm on social media saying well, what about the media?
Speaker 12: I'm I am the media, right, Maybe I can do
Speaker 12: something different, and I do a show on MSMB. See
Speaker 12: I do a show on Peacock, and my thing is, okay,
Speaker 12: I'm going to try and platform as many voices as possible.
Speaker 12: So my show, we have Israeli government officials, we have
Speaker 12: We've had people who lost people to Hamas on October
Speaker 12: the seventh and that horrific attack, and we've had ordinary
Speaker 12: Palestinians from on the ground in Gaza. And my worry
Speaker 12: is that we rightly as a media humanize those victims
Speaker 12: of the conflict on October the seventh, as we should,
Speaker 12: because what happened Aztobo Sums was horrific, But we don't
Speaker 12: always as a media, especially in the United States and
Speaker 12: the West, also humanize the Palaestinian people.
Speaker 7: So I've tried to get people from.
Speaker 12: All walks of life, Palestinian analysts, journalists, doctors, real people.
Speaker 12: And I think if you dehumanize a people, any people.
Speaker 12: We see that in America right now, rising anti Semitism,
Speaker 12: rising as armophobia. If you dehumanize a people, you end
Speaker 12: up with what happened in Vermont over the weekend. Three
Speaker 12: young men of Palestinian descent shot in what's being looked
Speaker 12: at as a possible hate crime.
Speaker 7: A six year old boy in Illinois.
Speaker 12: Wadia al Fayoum, stabbed to death twenty six times in
Speaker 12: front of his mother in what is being charged as
Speaker 12: a hate crime. So dehumanization is the thing we all
Speaker 12: have to avoid, even in the most toughest and heated
Speaker 12: of debates.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because we are I mean, obviously, we're all people,
Speaker 3: and it's it's important to Sadly, yeah, you're correct. Sadly,
Speaker 3: it's not obvious, and we should be able to talk
Speaker 3: to people from the other side. And you know, as
Speaker 3: you have people from every side on your show, I
Speaker 3: would like to see other shows follow suit and have
Speaker 3: you know, talked to everybody who's involved in everything and
Speaker 3: if we are going to you know, we talked about
Speaker 3: how there is misinformation everywhere. You know, we have everyone
Speaker 3: has lied, you know that we've we've got the media lying,
Speaker 3: We've caught our government line, We've got the IDF flying,
Speaker 3: We've got Hamas lying. You know, social media is a
Speaker 3: conveyor belt of lies. Uh, Where can people actually go
Speaker 3: to find what is actually happening?
Speaker 12: Sunday eight pm Live, ms NBC, there's a show called
Speaker 12: The Mediason Show, which is very opinionated but very factual. No, look,
Speaker 12: it's a real problem, and I think any journalist can
Speaker 12: honestly sit here and tell you, Michelle that it's not
Speaker 12: a problem. We don't all grapple with that. We're trying
Speaker 12: to hold ourselves to the highest the standards. But also
Speaker 12: seeing that social media is a double edged sword, it's
Speaker 12: been amazing tool for voiceless people to get their voices out.
Speaker 12: Half of the stuff we know about what's coming out
Speaker 12: of Gaza is because of Instagram and social media, because
Speaker 12: you know a lot of foreign media wasn't allowed in
Speaker 12: for a long time. So it's been very powerful in
Speaker 12: getting voice that. But of course it also comes with
Speaker 12: so much misinformation, Like there's not a day goes by
Speaker 12: where my feed doesn't have some conspiracy theory about the
Speaker 12: Palestinians or some conspiracy theory.
Speaker 7: About the Israelis.
Speaker 12: So look, I wish that we taught our kids from
Speaker 12: a very young age about digital social media literacy, about
Speaker 12: the importance of news media.
Speaker 7: As I said, I mentioned a moment ago, we.
Speaker 12: Have a former president, possibly the next president, threatening the
Speaker 12: free press.
Speaker 7: We don't talk.
Speaker 12: Enough about the importance of the free press and how
Speaker 12: to understand how to navigate the media. We just a
Speaker 12: lot of people just forward a lot of nonsense, and
Speaker 12: I think we've all got to hold ourselves to higher standards.
Speaker 12: Whether we are producers of news or whether we're consumers
Speaker 12: of news, we all have a role to play. And
Speaker 12: one thing I would just say on the lying front,
Speaker 12: when we say that everyone lies, and I work in
Speaker 12: political news, people say politicians they will lie.
Speaker 7: My worry with that argument.
Speaker 12: It takes you to a very dark place because if
Speaker 12: everyone lies, then you just become a nihilist. You don't
Speaker 12: believe anyone or anything. And that only helps one group
Speaker 12: of people, which are the fascists, the authoritarians.
Speaker 7: Donald Trump doesn't.
Speaker 12: Lie because he wants you to believe him over the Democrat.
Speaker 12: He lies because he wants you to believe no one.
Speaker 12: And when you don't believe anyone, that's when the strong
Speaker 12: man arises. That's when authoritarianism comes. So we still have
Speaker 12: to remind us of there are people telling the truth.
Speaker 12: There are people trying to get the facts out. It's
Speaker 12: our job to try and find them and support them.
Speaker 3: Yes, I feel like you're really leaning heavily on hoping
Speaker 3: the bullies and the biggots that don't read the book.
Speaker 3: And you know, when we talk about you know, you say,
Speaker 3: what of two people from both sides do know how
Speaker 3: to do an argument? They say, they do read your book.
Speaker 3: What happens? Do we fall into a black hole?
Speaker 7: It's a great question.
Speaker 12: What happens if two people buy the book and then
Speaker 12: get into an argument using the techniques that I lay
Speaker 12: out in the book. I would say all depends where
Speaker 12: that which of them has read chapter fourteen, Chapter fourty,
Speaker 12: the very bo Chatter book. It's called practice makes perfect right.
Speaker 12: Practice is what makes you perfect? Practice what we do
Speaker 12: and one thing that we don't do as public speakers,
Speaker 12: as debates, as people out there, and you know this
Speaker 12: as a brilliant comedian, you don't just get up and
Speaker 12: just blow more than what right you have to prepare
Speaker 12: and practice. People don't do that, and then they wonder
Speaker 12: why they lose arguments or losing debates, or aren't good
Speaker 12: at public speaking because you have to prepare. You spend
Speaker 12: I'm sure, weeks, months, years preparing for one piece of work.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 12: I spent a lot of time on the book on
Speaker 12: my TV show, you know, I always remember Winston Churchill
Speaker 12: has this saying to church but he says, if you
Speaker 12: ask me to give you a two hour presentation, I
Speaker 12: can do it right now. But if you ask me
Speaker 12: to give you a five minute speech, I need.
Speaker 7: Two weeks to prepare.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 12: People don't realize to be brief, to be direct, to
Speaker 12: get your points across it requires a lot of hard work.
Speaker 7: And we don't put in the effort.
Speaker 12: And you know you wouldn't.
Speaker 7: You wouldn't hand over your taxes to an accountant who's
Speaker 7: just winging it, right.
Speaker 12: You wouldn't go under the knife with a doctor who's
Speaker 12: just winging it. But for some reason, we think when
Speaker 12: it comes to public speaking, we're addressing we can just
Speaker 12: wing it. Nobody wings it, even the greatest public speakers.
Speaker 12: And I say in the book, Churchill, Martin, Luther, King,
Speaker 12: all of them, JFK.
Speaker 7: All of them.
Speaker 12: Practice prepared, put in the time and effort to convince people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think what we don't do these days is
Speaker 3: put in time or effort too.
Speaker 7: It's a very brief, transitory culture.
Speaker 3: I want to talk a little bit more about what's
Speaker 3: going on in the Middle East. One of the things
Speaker 3: I've been wondering about is if the leaders of the
Speaker 3: Hamas are in the Four Seasons in Qatar and Israel
Speaker 3: wants to rid the world of Hamas. And as much
Speaker 3: is I love Four Seasons, why the constant bombardment of
Speaker 3: Gaza and why not go to them?
Speaker 12: I mean, I have to say, I don't know if
Speaker 12: you saw I think it was the fourth season to
Speaker 12: put out of tweet saying we have no guests here
Speaker 12: who are part of Hamas. And look, Twitter has very
Speaker 12: few roles left under Elon Musk, but like preventing a
Speaker 12: prominent hotel chain from getting droned is a pretty.
Speaker 7: Good use of Twitter.
Speaker 12: Look, a lot of people miss I've got to be
Speaker 12: a lot of people misunderstand what's happening in Cuto, in Doha, right,
Speaker 12: the negotiations that happened a lot of Republicans and be like,
Speaker 12: look at other they're not really an ally the cuties
Speaker 12: like hold on, you told us to host Hamas and
Speaker 12: the Taliban, so we could be the intermediary for you
Speaker 12: to negotiate with these groups, just like we used to
Speaker 12: negotiate with the Taliban. Trump did it, and now we're
Speaker 12: having these hostage negotiations to try and get all those
Speaker 12: poor hostages out, and hostage taking is a clear war crime,
Speaker 12: and we want to get those hostages out. Look, the
Speaker 12: reality is I'm from I'm old school. You know, I
Speaker 12: don't think there are military solutions to political problems. I'm
Speaker 12: someone who Afghanistan for twenty years, where we went in
Speaker 12: with righteous rage. Have you been the victims of a
Speaker 12: horrific crime. We didn't think about what's going to happen
Speaker 12: the day after. We didn't think about what's the long
Speaker 12: term plan. We didn't think other people going to welcome us.
Speaker 12: Twenty years later, we left with our tail between our legs,
Speaker 12: loads of people dead, and the Taliban still run Afghanistan.
Speaker 12: So I would say, let's be careful before we just
Speaker 12: decide that the solution to every problem is we can
Speaker 12: drop a bomb or we can fire a bullet. This
Speaker 12: is a political problem. It's a problem of occupation, it's
Speaker 12: a problem injustice, it's a problem that goes back decades, right,
Speaker 12: and you cannot resolve it with dropping what six thousand
Speaker 12: pounds of bombs or whatever it is in the space
Speaker 12: of a few weeks. And look, I just want to
Speaker 12: say one important point on this.
Speaker 7: People.
Speaker 12: You know, in times like this, we get into our teams,
Speaker 12: we take our sides. Everyone's in a polarized moment arguing
Speaker 12: at a time like this, the number one bias we
Speaker 12: should have is not political or religious.
Speaker 7: It should be humanitarian.
Speaker 12: It should be human What is happening in Gaza right now.
Speaker 12: I don't care whether you're Muslim, Christian, Jewish, whatever, Like
Speaker 12: the human are saying it's the most dangerous place in the.
Speaker 7: World to be a child.
Speaker 12: The Committee to Protect Journalist says it's the deadliest conflict
Speaker 12: on record for journalists. The UN Secretary General says more
Speaker 12: UN employees have been killed in guards than any conflict
Speaker 12: in the UN's history. You know, the Pope is calling
Speaker 12: it terrorism now, which his word, not my word. I
Speaker 12: don't know if you're getting at cancel for that. He probably
Speaker 12: won't be in the next screen movie. But people, it's
Speaker 12: really really bad.
Speaker 3: With a hat like that.
Speaker 13: Maybe maybe you're giving them ideas now but it's so
Speaker 13: bad right now, people are talking about the brink of famine, dysentery, disease,
Speaker 13: countless that let us first be biased as human beings
Speaker 13: before we are biased as Israelis, Palestinians, Muslims, Jews, Christians, Americas.
Speaker 7: For me, right now, that's the priority.
Speaker 3: I one hundred percent agree. I think this is a
Speaker 3: moment to be completely human and realize that you know
Speaker 3: it's we should be able to talk with our mouths
Speaker 3: instead of bombing with our bombs.
Speaker 12: And if you need a book to help you talk
Speaker 12: with your mouth, whenever shame.
Speaker 3: When you have a book, you got to no one's
Speaker 3: gonna sell.
Speaker 7: It but you, But no married couples.
