Oh we are, we are. We are 35 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 3: looking at what's been going on with the reaction to 36 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 3: mom Donnie's when we are fully we are fully doing 37 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 3: winners and losers.

I actually the 41 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 4: World's World Series Game seven. I was watching it at 42 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 4: a bar and then I had to go across town 43 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 4: to a different bar because I knew Zoron was doing 44 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 4: the little gay bar hop on the same night as 45 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 4: the World Series finale, so I missed the last thirty minutes. 46 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 4: I had to leave during the ninth inning when the 47 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 4: Blue Jays were still ahead. 48 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 3: Oh no. And then and then in transport the Dodgers tie. 49 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 3: They did two extra innings and then one, and it 50 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 3: was devastating. And then I saw Bom Donnie dancing at 51 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 3: a gay club like ten minutes later. It was serious, gracious, 52 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 3: You're welcome, welcome to being a Seattle Mariners fan. This 53 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,399 Speaker 3: is this is why, yes, all the time for us, 54 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 3: everything well. 55 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 4: Aware, No, of course I I what I'm not cheering 56 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 4: for the Jay is usually usually I'm cheering for the Mariners. 57 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 3: So I know again, the only way to survive this 58 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 3: is to become a truly transcendent, true Mariners fan, where 59 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 3: you are not in this for winning and losing. You 60 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 3: were in this for the fact that we had a 61 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 3: guy whose name was Big Dumper because his ass was 62 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 3: big as fuck and he had sixty home runs. And 63 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 3: that's what you're in this game for. Okay, Okay, we're 64 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 3: gonna turn this around.

Yeah, not a high bar. But I think 68 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 3: in the words of the great John Boyce, this moment 69 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 3: belongs to her. And that's Lindsay Bolan, who was the 70 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 3: first woman to accuse Cuomo of sexual harassment, who is 71 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 3: one of the bravest women I've ever seen. And she's 72 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 3: having a great time. That's good. There's a bunch of 73 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 3: pictures of her going around that she's posting.

Yes, and then 79 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 4: the whole, the whole you know, like perspective hope of 80 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 4: what a Mom Donnie mayoral occupation could could meet. It's 81 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 4: like a whole separate thing, uh than just watching Cuomo 82 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 4: get absolutely decimated.

This is just like okay, really. 373 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 4: Now the boy who cried will think that the right 374 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 4: does all the time. It depowers their own rhetorical tactics. 375 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 3: Yep, yep, yep. 376 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 4: And you see this in a few ways. I think 377 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 4: you've seen this in part with like the trans mass 378 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 4: shooter thing. And certainly they've been doing this thing around 379 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 4: you communism or socialism for a while to the point 380 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 4: where you can have the mayor of New York proudly 381 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 4: call himself a socialist, a democratic socialist, and gets elected 382 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 4: with record numbers. 383 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 3: Yep. So one of the things that he's going to 384 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 3: be dealing with, obviously, is is the financial class. We're 385 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 3: gonna get to some more weird reactions. But there's a 386 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 3: very fun NPR quote that I'm going to read. I'm 387 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 3: always gonna read this quote. I think it's the stages 388 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 3: of grief, said Karen Wilde, who runs the Partnership for 389 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 3: New York City, an influential business group that represents more 390 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 3: than three hundred large employers. It's very funny they're fully 391 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 3: in their like acceptance negotiation phase of this. 392 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think they might not be letting 393 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 4: on the degree to which they have been in this process. 394 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 3: For a while. 395 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 4: There was like a final push among like Bloomberg, who 396 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 4: probably met with Mamdannie like months ago, and they like 397 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 4: developed like a kind of like truce, which Bloomberg broke 398 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 4: in the week before the election when he suddenly funneled 399 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 4: millions of dollars into islamaphobic ads like nine to eleven ads. 400 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 3: But there was a lot of. 401 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 4: Meetings happening between Mamdani and people who would make up 402 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 4: his future administration and the business class, which have happened 403 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 4: since he won the primary in June. And this sort 404 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 4: of negotiating and bargaining has been going on for quite 405 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 4: a while. And I think the acceptance now is really 406 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 4: the final I mean, these steps aren't necessarily always always 407 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 4: like sequential, but I think we were rapidly approaching the 408 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 4: acceptance phase across the city and people are actually looking 409 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 4: at like realistically and what what the what the negotiating 410 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 4: side of enacting these things is going to look like, 411 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 4: including the financial people. 412 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, that that said, Ken Griffin not happy at all. No, 413 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 3: they're not happy. No, this is this is a business 414 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 3: Insider for the people of New York. I pray that 415 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 3: the policies Montdammy uses to govern and lead New York 416 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 3: are different than the talking points he used to win 417 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 3: the may own race. People in New York deserve better. 418 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 3: I do want to I did cut out the part 419 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 3: in the middle of There's the Business Insider where he 420 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 3: said this Wednesday at the American Business Forum in Miami. 421 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,959 Speaker 3: In New York like to say this very funny.

And this is also a giant 432 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 3: loss for one Benjamin Nett and Yahou who Mamdami has 433 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 3: said he will arrest that's put in New York, which 434 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 3: rocks very funny.

We all like 534 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 4: know that Trump likes winners, but also the fact that 535 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 4: Zorn has like very quickly tried to establish dominance over 536 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 4: the president in some ways hm hmm, in a way 537 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 4: that like someone like Trump like kind of respects with 538 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 4: Mam Donnie positioning himself as like a legitimate, like adversarial 539 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 4: figure to Trump. Yeah, like right off the bat, And 540 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 4: there's a little bit of the Trumpian mind that actually 541 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 4: kind of appreciates that and thinks it's like cool and impressive. 542 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 3: During the first Trump administration that there was a whole 543 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 3: running theory that if you could get Trump in a 544 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 3: room with Hugo Chavez, you can make him a socialist 545 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 3: in like an hour, because he really does just repeat 546 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,239 Speaker 3: the last thing anyone in a room said to him. 547 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 3: So we're like, we're finally going to test the theory 548 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 3: of can we get a charismatic person in the room 549 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 3: with him and make him do stuff he would normally do? 550 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 4: And probably not, but you know, I mean, and like 551 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 4: the biggest thing right now is like the difference in 552 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 4: immigration policy. 553 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 3: But like Trump's from New York. 554 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 4: Trump knows how much New York is a city built 555 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 4: by and run by immigrants, Like he knows that when 556 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 4: Stephen Miller is like orchestrating all of his messaging, it's 557 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 4: like the worst of the worst of the anti immigrant stuff. 558 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 4: But I think in terms of Zorn's opposition to Trump, 559 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 4: primarily being with immigration. I think Trump understands how immigration 560 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 4: like rests very importantly into the identity of New York 561 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 4: and in which with that's like the main oppositional force. 562 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,719 Speaker 4: I think Trump similarly well, is gonna understand where Mom 563 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 4: Dannie is coming from. 564 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 5: In a way. 565 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think I think we are going to 566 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 3: see like a particularly like Stephen Miller, Oh yeah, conflict 567 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 3: as this goes on. 568 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 4: Absolutely, because this is this is the perfect example of 569 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 4: stuff that Miller and people like Matt Walsh and like 570 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 4: the Great Replacement people have been talking about. And the 571 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 4: other huge batch of reactions that you're seeing from people 572 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 4: like Walsh is that this election only went this way 573 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 4: because of how many foreigners were allowed to vote in 574 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 4: New York. 575 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 5: Yeah. 576 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 4: If this election was done by true New Yorkers quote 577 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 4: unquote yep, then quota would have won. And looking there 578 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 4: results of this election, looking at how many immigrants voted, 579 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 4: people who have moved to New York in the past 580 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 4: ten years, past five years, Mam Donnie did very well 581 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 4: with with those groups. 582 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 3: You have a lot of these like. 583 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 4: Far right anti immigration people, yeah, pointing towards that as 584 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 4: being like, this is what we're trying to defend the 585 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 4: country against or else. All of our elections are going 586 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 4: to go like this unless we make sure that only 587 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 4: white Americans can vote. 588 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then and so there's there's that reaction, water 589 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 3: sign the other the the other reaction from roughly that 590 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 3: crowd is women cannot be allowed to vote. 591 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 4: Yes, which they also they also believe that like yeah, yeah, 592 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 4: this analysis obviously has faults, but it's it's even falling 593 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 4: apart in terms of like the young male vote.

I mean in the commons. 677 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 3: Yes, actually kind of topical, Yeah, it is. 678 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 5: That is a question that actually and so earlier this 679 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 5: year in September, I was staying with which in people 680 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:49,799 Speaker 5: who are indigenous to the Northern Alaskan, Interior Arctic and Subarctic, 681 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 5: and one of them was like, Hey, how did you 682 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 5: guys get so dislocated from your lands? One of my 683 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 5: friends who I was talking to, and it was a 684 00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,239 Speaker 5: really interesting question for me. Great because they have lived 685 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 5: on that same land for as long as human beings 686 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 5: have existed in the Americas, the twenty five thousand years 687 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 5: something like that. Like, the answer is the enclosure of 688 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 5: the commons, right, the answer is like proto capitalism is 689 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 5: what removed folks like me from the land and identifying 690 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 5: in a way that those people identify with the land. 691 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 5: But in the United States, we do have a little 692 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 5: bit or quite a lot actually of public land, right, 693 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 5: various different types of public land, various different land protections, 694 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 5: that anyone can go to where you don't have to 695 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 5: be in America or a citizen. Anyone can go to 696 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:44,760 Speaker 5: public lands and enjoy them. Unfortunately, Utah Senator quote unquote 697 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 5: based Mike Lee is once again attempting to weaken protections 698 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 5: on wilderness, which will render some of the small parts 699 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 5: of the USA they have not been fundamentally damaged by 700 00:37:54,840 --> 00:38:00,839 Speaker 5: capitalism permanently and irrevocably changed. Are you familiar with Mike Lee. Yeah, 701 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 5: he's the senator from Utah, the Senator from Utah. Yeah, 702 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,359 Speaker 5: and he's based as you have said, Yes, he's based, right, 703 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,800 Speaker 5: that's this. He's a hashtag poster.

Yeah, usually in line with some kind of 708 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 4: partisan sentiments. 709 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's pretty fair. 710 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 4: Specifically, following the assassination of Melissa Hortman and her husband, 711 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 4: made a series of of tweets that were I guess, 712 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 4: kind of insensitive, if not actually if not laying blame 713 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 4: at the governor of Minnesota in this kind of ironic 714 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,280 Speaker 4: joking way where you have plausible deniability, but in general 715 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 4: handled that situation very grossly, and I think that that's 716 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 4: what most people might know his tweets for. But he's 717 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 4: very active, he's he's tweets about many many a thing. 718 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,319 Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, if he thinks that he post sit but yeah, yeah, 719 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 5: his most people will know him as a guy who 720 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 5: made the extremely poor taste posts following those murders Nightmare 721 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 5: on walls the street.

Mike Lee has the 737 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,800 Speaker 5: urge to sell off public land. He has tried twice 738 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:03,800 Speaker 5: this year. We spoke about this a little bit on 739 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 5: ed right. We talked about it in the context of 740 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 5: the Big Beautiful Bill or the one Big Beautiful Bill Act. 741 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, he did try that like half a year ago. 742 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 5: Yes, he did. Well, Garrison, I regret to inform you 743 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 5: that Mike Lee is back somehow. 744 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:21,240 Speaker 3: Mike Lee has returned. 745 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, and this time he has got a new thing. 746 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 5: So last time, if you remember, he talked about selling 747 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:34,280 Speaker 5: off the public land to make affordable housing. Sure, sure, yeah. 748 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 3: Not going to look into this any further. 749 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 5: And I'm gonna that was exactly what he was relying on. 750 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 5: That no one gave a shit about the millions of 751 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 5: acres that we all get access to, and they would 752 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 5: just trust him on. 753 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 3: That one based Mike Lee and his abundance exactly. 754 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 5: It's him and Ran shaking hands when it comes to 755 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 5: affordable housing, but something they care about very much, I'm sure, 756 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 5: something that Mike Lee has campaigned on for. He did 757 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 5: not stick Landing on that because people read the proposal 758 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:05,799 Speaker 5: and they noticed that it was going to do nothing 759 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 5: for housing affordability whatsoever. If it did create any housing 760 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,359 Speaker 5: at all. It was going to be like super rich 761 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 5: people's McMansions. You know, this was not going to do 762 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 5: anything to move the needlean and affordable housing in the US. 763 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 5: This time he has found a cause which receives even 764 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,760 Speaker 5: less scrutiny. Can you guess what it is, Garrison. 765 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 4: Ah, for why we need to sell the public lands? Yes, 766 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 4: I'm trying to not just look ahead on your script. 767 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 5: Yeah, there is a document in front of you which, 768 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 5: as he asked, it, so close your eyes. But there's 769 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,440 Speaker 5: like two or three things in the US where everyone 770 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,320 Speaker 5: just seems to turn a blind eye. 771 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,960 Speaker 4: To, like, Oh, I mean this is it for like 772 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,760 Speaker 4: is it for like developing land for like oil data centers? 773 00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 3: Uh? 774 00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,479 Speaker 5: Well, that probably is what's happening. But he's he's smart 775 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 5: enough not to say that. 776 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 4: Right, super gold magic carp as in the as in 777 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,840 Speaker 4: the film Eddington. I mean I would guess the data centers, 778 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,879 Speaker 4: but that that's that I could be wrong. 779 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 5: It's border security. Oh great, of course, right, you could 780 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 5: have said anti terrorism and probably got there to you. 781 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 5: But no, it is it is securing US southern well 782 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 5: all aboarders, actually southern border, northern border, eastern and Western 783 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 5: maritime borders. Obviously they're they're looking to prevent any more 784 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:34,960 Speaker 5: people coming in from Canada. 785 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 8: Is not a border stick that that is correct, that 786 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:45,799 Speaker 8: borders because literally, so you go to search something, pulled 787 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 8: up the map of the United States. I was like, 788 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 8: I don't think you maybe I'm misremembering, but Uta is 789 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 8: not a border state. 790 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:54,720 Speaker 5: Is absolutely not a border states. 791 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,600 Speaker 4: Actually not a border state. It is above Arizona, which. 792 00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:02,839 Speaker 5: Is yeah, so that is perhaps what's going on here. 793 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,880 Speaker 5: Mike Lee has found a way to sell off public 794 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,879 Speaker 5: lands without selling off Utah public lands. Oh, in this case, 795 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,759 Speaker 5: not really sell off, but destroy and degrade in a 796 00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 5: way which is very clearly going to lead to commercial exploitation. 797 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 5: Right what Lee proposes, what Lee's bill has a bunch 798 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,800 Speaker 5: of cosponsors. I believe the only border state senator co 799 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,520 Speaker 5: sponsoring it is head crewis. Yeah, that makes sense, big 800 00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:31,400 Speaker 5: public lands, respector. But Lie's bill would allow the Department 801 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:36,320 Speaker 5: of Homeland Security to quote inventory illegal roads and trails 802 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 5: on public land within one hundred miles of the border 803 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 5: and then convert them into navigable roads. That is the 804 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 5: part that makes no sense, right, Like when you look 805 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 5: at Lee's statements and I will read one of Lee's 806 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,680 Speaker 5: statements here. So this is a statement on the Senate 807 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:58,479 Speaker 5: Energy Committee web page where they talk about Energy Natural 808 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 5: Resources Committee. Is quote from Mike Lee explaining his bill quote, 809 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:10,319 Speaker 5: Biden's open border chaos is destroying America's crown duels. I'm 810 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 5: going to pause here to note this. According to my watch, 811 00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,919 Speaker 5: we're at November seventh, twenty twenty five. 812 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,759 Speaker 3: Well your watches, rog, Yeah, we. 813 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,799 Speaker 5: Are once again asking the most important question of. 814 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,800 Speaker 2: Our time was president who is? 815 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:29,720 Speaker 3: He used the presidense? 816 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,320 Speaker 5: It didn't. It's not even like talking about twenty twenty 817 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,240 Speaker 5: and pretending that Trumble was a president. 818 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,280 Speaker 4: He's doing it right now, that the art border policies 819 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,880 Speaker 4: are destroying our nactual lands. 820 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, we were a year after the election. You've had 821 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 5: time to come to terms with this. You can't just 822 00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,120 Speaker 5: keep pointing at Joe Biden like but apparently I guess 823 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:53,400 Speaker 5: you can. 824 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 4: They're going to keep doing that for three more years 825 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 4: until there's a new guy. 826 00:44:58,360 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 827 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, So let's go on with Chairman Lee, his chairman 828 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 5: of this Senate Energy Natural Resources Committee. Right, Families who 829 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 5: want to enjoy a safe hike or camp out are 830 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 5: instead finding trash piles, burned landscapes, and trails closed because 831 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:17,840 Speaker 5: rangers are stuck cleaning up the fallout. Cartels are exploiting 832 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,319 Speaker 5: the disorder, using these lands as cover for their operations. 833 00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 5: This bill gives land managers and border agents tools to 834 00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 5: restore order and protect these places for the people they 835 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,320 Speaker 5: were meant to serve. He's doing the thing where he 836 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 5: says one thing and then his build does something completely different. Yeah, 837 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:36,680 Speaker 5: what he is saying is on the face of it, 838 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,040 Speaker 5: somewhat ridiculous. But what he's claiming he's going to do 839 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 5: is protect these lands. 840 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 6: Right. 841 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,280 Speaker 5: What the bill allows them to do is to find 842 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,640 Speaker 5: roads that are not permitted and turn them into navigable roads. 843 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:53,160 Speaker 4: So just actually pave roads, yes, in the protected wildlife in. 844 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 5: The Yeah, well, crucially in wilderness areas. Right, So in 845 00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:01,960 Speaker 5: the nineteen sixty four Wilderness Act not allow for there 846 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 5: to be any mechanized access. Lie's bill proposes not just 847 00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,279 Speaker 5: to amend the Wilderness Act for within one hundred miles 848 00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:14,800 Speaker 5: of the border, but to amend it entirely to allow 849 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 5: for the construction of roads so. 850 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,799 Speaker 3: That they can pulice the public lands better. That's that's 851 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,279 Speaker 3: what he's saying. Yeah, right. 852 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,760 Speaker 5: Well, he's one of his claims is for search and rescue, 853 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,719 Speaker 5: and that there are already exemptions that allow for mechanize 854 00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:32,719 Speaker 5: search and rescue access, right, like yeah, things like helicopters, right, helicopters. Yeah, 855 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,840 Speaker 5: if you get and even like you get like motorized gurneys, 856 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,800 Speaker 5: you can use the SAR things like that, right, Like 857 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 5: they even ATVs. Right, there's a threat to human. 858 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,280 Speaker 3: Lives a Toyota tacoma. 859 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you'd struggle in most wilderness lands with 860 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,560 Speaker 5: the tacoma, but yeah, you could. You could give it 861 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,640 Speaker 5: a college try, but it's ludicrous. He hasn't even made 862 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,279 Speaker 5: an effort to join the dots, you know. It also 863 00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:01,200 Speaker 5: calls for fire mitigation by clearing fuels and building fire breaks, 864 00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:05,480 Speaker 5: and includes a provision that would quote address invasive or 865 00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 5: non native species in the wilderness area. Yeah, like what 866 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,480 Speaker 5: are you going to go in there and round us? 867 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,040 Speaker 4: Everyone's planting and spreading invasive species. 868 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, of course they're invasive species right. Late, Like, 869 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,279 Speaker 5: if you go to parts of where I live, like 870 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 5: you'll see mustard, which is not an indigenous species. Because 871 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,239 Speaker 5: the climate's changing and people move around the world and 872 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,239 Speaker 5: like lots and lots of animals that weren't like here 873 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 5: twenty thousand years ago, are here now. 874 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,640 Speaker 4: I mean, you can make an argument for managing these areas. 875 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,040 Speaker 4: I don't think he's coming at this from an environmental 876 00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:34,800 Speaker 4: conservation standpoint. 877 00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:35,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. 878 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,800 Speaker 5: I don't know what the non native species thing is 879 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 5: about other than just like nativism for plants, Like, I 880 00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,200 Speaker 5: genuinely can't work it out. If anyone has any ideas, 881 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,760 Speaker 5: please let me know. It also attempts to inventory damage 882 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:53,400 Speaker 5: done to public lands by migrants, Like what wildfires are 883 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,880 Speaker 5: caused by migrants? How many national parks are trashed by migrants? 884 00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:57,640 Speaker 3: Oh my god? 885 00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, as opposed to the Americans that has since you 886 00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,839 Speaker 4: treat these areas like dogshit. Yeahs who simply just don't 887 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,160 Speaker 4: do their jobs because they're too lazy. 888 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, And like the literally thousands of people a year 889 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,279 Speaker 5: who fucking drag their refrigerator or television onto public land 890 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 5: and execute it by firing squad. Yeah, like yeah, maybe 891 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:16,920 Speaker 5: make a bill about that. I mean, you want to 892 00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,480 Speaker 5: do something nice for public land. I want to give 893 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,920 Speaker 5: a definition of wilderness from Howard. I think it's zamasap 894 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:24,840 Speaker 5: and he ever read his name with the Wilderness Society, 895 00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,120 Speaker 5: who more or less wrote Act It defines wilderness as 896 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 5: quote a wilderness in contrast with those areas where man 897 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,799 Speaker 5: and his own works dominate the landscape is hereby recognized 898 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 5: as an area where the earth and its community of 899 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,719 Speaker 5: life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a 900 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,319 Speaker 5: visitor and who does not remain. I don't actually really 901 00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:48,880 Speaker 5: like that definition. I like wilderness, but I'm not a 902 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,880 Speaker 5: big fan of the idea of like, quote unquote untouched wilderness. Right, like, 903 00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,600 Speaker 5: every bit of what is now the United States is 904 00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,040 Speaker 5: a place where indigenous people have been living and surviving 905 00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,759 Speaker 5: for tens of thousands of years before it was the 906 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 5: United States. It's not untouched. It's just not fucked by 907 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,960 Speaker 5: extractive capitalism in a way that a lot of our 908 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:09,879 Speaker 5: land has been in the last two hundred years. 909 00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,479 Speaker 4: There could be touching without a fuck, that's what you're saying. 910 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,320 Speaker 5: I saw this mischievous look come on their face, and 911 00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,400 Speaker 5: I didn't know which direction they were going to take it, 912 00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:30,120 Speaker 5: but I didn't expect that one. 913 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:32,520 Speaker 3: Now this is podcasting. 914 00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 5: Yeah wow, yeah, we've just left the news reel. Let's 915 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,399 Speaker 5: do an advertising break it so we can't come back 916 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 5: from that, all right, we've returned out de scandalized myself. 917 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:58,879 Speaker 5: Lee is currently making his claims right that this will 918 00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,880 Speaker 5: somehow make the border safer and make people on public 919 00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:03,600 Speaker 5: lands safer. 920 00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,960 Speaker 4: This is such the thinnest justification that you're throwing in, 921 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:11,120 Speaker 4: Like this is so I severely doubt he sincerely even 922 00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:11,640 Speaker 4: believes this. 923 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, the border patrol have access to all 924 00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,880 Speaker 5: these lands, right, like I see I think the cumber 925 00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,000 Speaker 5: wildness of state wilderness, I see border patrol in there 926 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 5: all the time. 927 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,560 Speaker 4: I can see there's many reasons for why our republic 928 00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,960 Speaker 4: and might be interested in, like building road infrastructure in 929 00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:30,719 Speaker 4: these places and border security. Frankly, is insulting that you're 930 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,040 Speaker 4: that he's even trying to use that as a zeitgeist justification. 931 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's fucking ludicrous. Like the Trump administration is speed 932 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:44,240 Speaker 5: running extractive capitalism on our public lands right, just yesterday 933 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,960 Speaker 5: when we're recordings recording on Friday, Joe Biden is president, 934 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,920 Speaker 5: as you will remember, Friday seventh, November twenty twenty five, 935 00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:55,800 Speaker 5: the Trump administration nominated. Okay, I've outed myself. I'm not 936 00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:59,719 Speaker 5: a Biden. I'm not a Biden. Truth. The Trump administration 937 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,960 Speaker 5: don't d Steve Pierce to lead the Bureau of Land Management. 938 00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 5: Pis is a former New Mexico congressman who has supported 939 00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,920 Speaker 5: brilling and fracking on federal land. He's also a serial 940 00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:15,080 Speaker 5: loser in congressional and state races in New Mexico. I 941 00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,800 Speaker 5: think he lost a Senate and a gubernatorial race, and 942 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,400 Speaker 5: he has voted to shrink existing public lands. The Trump 943 00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:27,439 Speaker 5: admin did this before, right, people will probably if they're 944 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:31,280 Speaker 5: engaged in public land advocacy, they will remember the attempts 945 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:35,759 Speaker 5: to save the Bears Ears National Monument from oil exploitation, 946 00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:39,760 Speaker 5: which again is in Utah. Utah is for whatever reason, 947 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:44,440 Speaker 5: Utah is a hotbed of anti public lands settlement. Amusingly, 948 00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:48,319 Speaker 5: the previous nominee for the leadership of the BLM had 949 00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:51,600 Speaker 5: to be removed when emails condemning Trump's response to January 950 00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:56,000 Speaker 5: sixth came to light. She I guess failed the loyalty test. 951 00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:00,239 Speaker 5: Trump has also put Doug Bergham at the head of 952 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:04,520 Speaker 5: the Department of the Interior. Right, if you're willing with 953 00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:06,480 Speaker 5: Bergham's stick, guess. 954 00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,640 Speaker 4: His name sounds incredibly familiar. 955 00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:12,919 Speaker 5: Yeah, he was governor I believe in North Dakota. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, 956 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,800 Speaker 5: Like he did this pivot on like culture war issues 957 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:21,640 Speaker 5: where he had previously been not opposed to abortion, for example, 958 00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:25,200 Speaker 5: and he just took a massive swing to the right 959 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:29,160 Speaker 5: in order to kind of align with the MAGA position 960 00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,560 Speaker 5: over time. So he's not only in the Department of 961 00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:35,560 Speaker 5: the Interior. I wrote about this on my newsletter that 962 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:39,719 Speaker 5: I write because when he was nominated, he received a 963 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:44,279 Speaker 5: letter of support from the Outdoor Recreation round Table, a 964 00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:49,200 Speaker 5: bunch of outdoor brands, notably ARII was one of the 965 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,919 Speaker 5: brands that supported his nomination. Bergham is another big oil 966 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,360 Speaker 5: and gas guy, right, He's a guy who has talked 967 00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,600 Speaker 5: about the need for energy exploitation on public land. I 968 00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,400 Speaker 5: have a whole script, did series and in working on 969 00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:05,319 Speaker 5: about specifically drilling in the Arctic refuge. But this goes 970 00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:09,919 Speaker 5: far far beyond that, right, this could potentially affect every 971 00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,000 Speaker 5: piece of public land, every national park, a re national 972 00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:13,280 Speaker 5: monument in the United States. 973 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,640 Speaker 3: Drill baby drill, Yes, drill baby. 974 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,520 Speaker 5: Drill is pretty much our approach to public land these days. Amusingly, 975 00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:22,759 Speaker 5: ARII was shamed into rescinding their support of Bergham. Good 976 00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,920 Speaker 5: for that, Yeah, yeah, one of the few instances where 977 00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:29,080 Speaker 5: people probably posted their way to a change in in 978 00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,120 Speaker 5: some in some kind of some kind of policy. I guess, 979 00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:35,479 Speaker 5: even though it's only ARII policy, I want to talk 980 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:39,120 Speaker 5: a little bit about like how we got to this 981 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:45,080 Speaker 5: idea of public land and the sort of way that 982 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 5: it's sometimes referred to, and in a where I would 983 00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,880 Speaker 5: prefer we talked about it. I guess the idea we 984 00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:53,920 Speaker 5: have right now is that there are various tiers of 985 00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:58,319 Speaker 5: public land. Right, there's Bureau of Land Management land, which 986 00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:01,200 Speaker 5: is often the least protected. We have national parks, we 987 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:05,680 Speaker 5: have national monuments, we have national forests, and we have wilderness, right, 988 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:09,680 Speaker 5: wilderness being among the most protected. The problem with this 989 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:14,480 Speaker 5: approach is that ecosystems don't necessarily respect property lines. Right. 990 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:19,719 Speaker 5: So let's take for example, in Alaska. Right, they have 991 00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:23,600 Speaker 5: hundreds of thousands of acres of their own, but their 992 00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,800 Speaker 5: traditional way of life and indeed, like their existence depends 993 00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:30,279 Speaker 5: on the existence of the porcupine caribou herd. The porcupine 994 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,640 Speaker 5: caribou herd makes the longest migration of any land mammal 995 00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:37,800 Speaker 5: on Earth, and it carves on the coastal plane, the 996 00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,800 Speaker 5: coastal plain. The Guichin way of saying it would be 997 00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,000 Speaker 5: I have heard this said a lot of times. My 998 00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,919 Speaker 5: sincere apologies if I don't get it right, like I'm 999 00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:51,160 Speaker 5: trama best. What's an gwandai goodly? It means a sacred 1000 00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,560 Speaker 5: place where life begins. It's a very sacred place for gwichin. 1001 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,560 Speaker 5: Don't go there themselves because it's a sacred place. But 1002 00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,800 Speaker 5: it is not in the land. It is part of 1003 00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:05,000 Speaker 5: the Arctic refuge, a place where the Trump administration is 1004 00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,880 Speaker 5: selling oil and gas leases. Right, So if the caribou 1005 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:12,400 Speaker 5: can't carve, then doesn't matter. It still matters to the 1006 00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:13,840 Speaker 5: which you have all this land. But they won't have 1007 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,520 Speaker 5: their cariboo, right because the herd will be so disrupted 1008 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,560 Speaker 5: by oil and gas drilling where it's carving that it 1009 00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,640 Speaker 5: will then disrupt that whole landscape. Right without cariboo, that 1010 00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:29,080 Speaker 5: landscape would be fundamentally different. So right now, the way 1011 00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:33,479 Speaker 5: we talk about public lands, I think we talk about 1012 00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:37,600 Speaker 5: them like in terms of leisure, right, Like often they're 1013 00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:41,080 Speaker 5: scene as having a value, Like I guess the classic 1014 00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:44,880 Speaker 5: example would be maybe don't remember this gag. Patagonia run 1015 00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:48,480 Speaker 5: an advertising campaign called the Places We Play In the 1016 00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:52,399 Speaker 5: last Trump administration. That's not it, right, that is not cool. 1017 00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:54,919 Speaker 5: I think if we only see wilderness as a place 1018 00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:58,400 Speaker 5: where like folks go outside to do send the nar 1019 00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:03,200 Speaker 5: on climbing routes and and fucking shred some mountain bike trails, bro, 1020 00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,080 Speaker 5: then we fundamentally like missed the value of it, right. Yeah, 1021 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,440 Speaker 5: this goes back a long long time. For instance, if 1022 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,160 Speaker 5: we look back in ninety twenty nine with specifically with 1023 00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,360 Speaker 5: the protection of the Arctic Refuge, we can see this 1024 00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,360 Speaker 5: piece that Bob Marshall wrote. Bob Marshall was a forest 1025 00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,719 Speaker 5: at the time, but he's kind of important in this 1026 00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 5: creating this idea of like wilderness and wilderness protections. He 1027 00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,480 Speaker 5: talked about the quote unquote emotional values of the frontier 1028 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,879 Speaker 5: being preserved in the wilderness, which again I think kind 1029 00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,719 Speaker 5: of tells us a lot a lot of what's going 1030 00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:35,279 Speaker 5: on here. 1031 00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:39,880 Speaker 4: It's a very very Theodore Roosevelt brained approach to conservation. 1032 00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:41,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, right, Like we can go out there and we 1033 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,000 Speaker 5: can all pretend to be like the guys who participated 1034 00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:48,200 Speaker 5: in the genocide of indigenous peoples of North America. I 1035 00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,880 Speaker 5: guess like he also he considered using the definition attract 1036 00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:55,400 Speaker 5: of solitude and savageness, which again like it says a 1037 00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,600 Speaker 5: lot about like it's removing the people from the land, 1038 00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,759 Speaker 5: right like, like both literally and in our conception of it. 1039 00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 5: And I don't think we should do that. Right when 1040 00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,080 Speaker 5: we talk about wilderness, we need to talk about it 1041 00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:10,320 Speaker 5: hand in hand with the indigenous people of this country 1042 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:15,480 Speaker 5: and their traditional management practices which allowed this place to 1043 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:19,120 Speaker 5: be unspoiled until folks started to exploit it in the 1044 00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,960 Speaker 5: last couple of hundred years. They'll take an ad break, 1045 00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:26,440 Speaker 5: hopefully we get something for like fracking or some other 1046 00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:41,680 Speaker 5: petrochemical industry, and it will be right back. We are back, 1047 00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:46,280 Speaker 5: and we are talking about Senator Mike Lee again, Garrison, 1048 00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:51,600 Speaker 5: would you like to guess which industries have emerged on 1049 00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,600 Speaker 5: the top of Senator Mike Lee's donor list when I 1050 00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:57,160 Speaker 5: cruise unto open secrets? 1051 00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,200 Speaker 3: Is it fracking and drilling? 1052 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:04,040 Speaker 5: See real estate? He's got a ton of money from 1053 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:07,720 Speaker 5: real estate. About six hundred and sixty five thousand. Six 1054 00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:10,000 Speaker 5: hundred and sixty five thousand is not that much money 1055 00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,560 Speaker 5: when you consider the millions of acres of public lands 1056 00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:18,080 Speaker 5: which would be completely and permanently altered by. 1057 00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:19,840 Speaker 4: This, right, Yeah, he really should be asking for a 1058 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:21,160 Speaker 4: lot more money to sell. 1059 00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,400 Speaker 5: Off the secure the bag. 1060 00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:26,680 Speaker 4: If you're going to do this, it's grossly undervalue. 1061 00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,800 Speaker 5: Yeah. I always look at campaign donations and I kind 1062 00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,120 Speaker 5: of expect them to be in the billions or trillions 1063 00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:36,520 Speaker 5: when like you're looking at just this massive and permanent 1064 00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,360 Speaker 5: change in government policy. 1065 00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:40,280 Speaker 3: It's that easy, folks. 1066 00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:44,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, which is why we are launching a crowdfunding campaign 1067 00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:48,120 Speaker 5: to buy back or the public lands. We're not no 1068 00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:50,520 Speaker 5: one should own them. We should not be buying them 1069 00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:55,960 Speaker 5: back that they should be protected. It's kind of remarkable 1070 00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,000 Speaker 5: how many of our public lands this would impact right 1071 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,560 Speaker 5: within one hundred miles of the border that gives us 1072 00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:06,800 Speaker 5: two thirds of the United States population. The general definition 1073 00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:10,800 Speaker 5: that DHS has operated with also includes all of the 1074 00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:16,479 Speaker 5: Great Lakes as quote unquote international waterways, so that takes 1075 00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,800 Speaker 5: in like a good chunk of the Midwest, right. It 1076 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,200 Speaker 5: would then go one hundred miles from the shore of 1077 00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:26,360 Speaker 5: any of the Great Lakes. I've seen this reported on 1078 00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,600 Speaker 5: very poorly or not at all. A lot of the 1079 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,160 Speaker 5: people who are better at talking about public lands are 1080 00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:36,240 Speaker 5: like the hunting fishing, like hook and bullet media. They 1081 00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:41,200 Speaker 5: will talk about it more in my experience, and like 1082 00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,200 Speaker 5: the straight up outdoor media right, which is where I've 1083 00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:47,600 Speaker 5: made my career at least somewhat for the last fifteen years. 1084 00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:51,280 Speaker 5: They will also go harder for it, like it's generally 1085 00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:56,240 Speaker 5: a more conservative world, but like they will they will 1086 00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:59,240 Speaker 5: go after politicians who sell public lands. But I think 1087 00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:02,080 Speaker 5: if you're in capable understanding that, like the border as 1088 01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,800 Speaker 5: a zone of exception, the border as a zone without 1089 01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:08,040 Speaker 5: constitutional rights is a problem, and this selling of the 1090 01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:11,240 Speaker 5: public lands is part of that problem, then like it's 1091 01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,320 Speaker 5: very hard to have a complete analysis of this. So 1092 01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:17,040 Speaker 5: like I've seen a lot of analysis without any seemingly 1093 01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:20,320 Speaker 5: where the rights don't understand that United States operates this 1094 01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:24,240 Speaker 5: one hundred mile border enforcement zone, right, and that you, 1095 01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,600 Speaker 5: as a US citizen or as a non senstem have 1096 01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:30,200 Speaker 5: fewer rights within that enforcement zone. I have seen a 1097 01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:33,800 Speaker 5: lot of analysis which doesn't take into account this weird 1098 01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:39,320 Speaker 5: assessing of migrant damage to public land, Like in what 1099 01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:43,760 Speaker 5: world is that a useful allocation of governments? Like there 1100 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,960 Speaker 5: are places right where like if I think about the 1101 01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:51,080 Speaker 5: places where the Biden administration did outdoor attention, that landscape 1102 01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:54,760 Speaker 5: was damaged because people had fires to stay warm, and 1103 01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:58,520 Speaker 5: that fire cause is scarring right in our desert landscapes. Yeah, 1104 01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,920 Speaker 5: that landscape is damaged. Like, how you going to what 1105 01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:02,200 Speaker 5: are you going to do? There were like a thousand 1106 01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:04,080 Speaker 5: people a day coming through at one point. Are you 1107 01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:05,800 Speaker 5: going to find them all and charge them more for 1108 01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:11,440 Speaker 5: like misdemeanor California fire? But also there's a tiny provision 1109 01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,640 Speaker 5: of this bill that I found that suggests that migrants 1110 01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:19,880 Speaker 5: cannot be housed on federal public land unless they are 1111 01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:26,200 Speaker 5: housed in a detention center. Yeah, yeah, great, thanks. That 1112 01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:29,480 Speaker 5: was kind of the case before, Like you couldn't really 1113 01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:31,480 Speaker 5: just be like, well, I mean, by the administration did 1114 01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:33,320 Speaker 5: just say right, you'll Campaigre and will come get you 1115 01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:36,800 Speaker 5: in a week. There wasn't really a legal precedent for that. 1116 01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:39,480 Speaker 5: They just went ahead and did it. I guess what 1117 01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,040 Speaker 5: I want to end up with is like I'm obviously 1118 01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:44,120 Speaker 5: very passionate about this. I guess I'm kind of a 1119 01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:47,480 Speaker 5: public land super user. You do be camping, Yeah I do. 1120 01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:49,480 Speaker 5: I am a Yeah, I am a camping guy. If 1121 01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:53,200 Speaker 5: there's one thing that defines me, it's going camping. I 1122 01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,680 Speaker 5: try and sleep outside at least once a month. But yeah, 1123 01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:59,120 Speaker 5: most of My happiest memories in life are like moving 1124 01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:01,840 Speaker 5: under my own power through the mountains. That is when 1125 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:04,800 Speaker 5: I'm happiest. That is how I deal with my shit. 1126 01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,800 Speaker 5: That is what I do with myself after every single 1127 01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:13,960 Speaker 5: one of the traumatic work trips that you that you 1128 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,160 Speaker 5: seem to love listening to you, right like that, that 1129 01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,680 Speaker 5: is how I cope with the fact that my job 1130 01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:21,920 Speaker 5: is to turn trauma into stuff to go in between 1131 01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:25,480 Speaker 5: chumber casino ads. So, yeah, I love public lands, but 1132 01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:30,760 Speaker 5: you should too, even if you don't recreate on public lands, right, 1133 01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:33,120 Speaker 5: So that's the public lands are called America's best idea. 1134 01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:36,200 Speaker 5: I don't like that because inherent in having public lands 1135 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,880 Speaker 5: is the removal of them from indigenous people, right, and 1136 01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:43,160 Speaker 5: indigenous people losing their sovereignty over those lands. But as 1137 01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:47,520 Speaker 5: things that the state has done with land goes, protecting 1138 01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:51,040 Speaker 5: it for future generations is one of the good ones, right, 1139 01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:54,960 Speaker 5: Like there are some truly special places. The vastness of 1140 01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:58,680 Speaker 5: the Western United States is why I live here. I 1141 01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:02,960 Speaker 5: cycled across the United States in twenty ten, and I 1142 01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:06,480 Speaker 5: was just blown away by like the scale of the 1143 01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:10,320 Speaker 5: landscapes without significant human damage. That's still something I'm blown 1144 01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:14,280 Speaker 5: away by yeah, you know, fifteen years later. I spend 1145 01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:15,680 Speaker 5: as much time as I can, and not just like 1146 01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:17,680 Speaker 5: national parks. I think a lot of people, if they've 1147 01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:20,760 Speaker 5: visited public land, were associated with national parks. I'd really 1148 01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,760 Speaker 5: encourage you to like hit up national forests, wilderness lands 1149 01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:26,840 Speaker 5: like places where there it's not a line or a 1150 01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:30,280 Speaker 5: ticket kiosk, Like you can have a really special wilderness 1151 01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:31,960 Speaker 5: experience there. But even if you don't want to, that 1152 01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,920 Speaker 5: doesn't appeal to you, if it's not something that you 1153 01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:38,880 Speaker 5: feel like physically or otherwise comfortable doing, the fact that 1154 01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,920 Speaker 5: it will be there for future generations, the fact that 1155 01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:45,800 Speaker 5: like there is potential to return this land to the 1156 01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:51,040 Speaker 5: indigenous people of North America without giant fucking mind scars 1157 01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:53,760 Speaker 5: and roads cut through it right now is something that 1158 01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:57,040 Speaker 5: we should fight for. And like public lands, it's one 1159 01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,959 Speaker 5: of those things where like I have conversations with dudes 1160 01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:03,160 Speaker 5: who do not agree with me politically at all, like 1161 01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:06,320 Speaker 5: people who definitely voted for Donald Trump who are also 1162 01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:10,680 Speaker 5: furious about this shit. And if you can help people 1163 01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:13,720 Speaker 5: see that this is part of a bigger problem, Like 1164 01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:15,160 Speaker 5: if this can be a place where we can build 1165 01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:17,080 Speaker 5: a coalition, that is a good thing, and it's one 1166 01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:19,680 Speaker 5: of those things that like to take action, you can 1167 01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,080 Speaker 5: just live out and go on the internet and write 1168 01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:25,080 Speaker 5: to your senator, call your representative. Like you can do 1169 01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:29,480 Speaker 5: these things which are so easy, low risk, and like 1170 01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:33,360 Speaker 5: it's a sort of engagement that like neoliberal bipartisan politics 1171 01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:37,480 Speaker 5: wants you to have. Right, it's not hard, but in 1172 01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:40,520 Speaker 5: this instance, you can do something really good by doing that. 1173 01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:43,920 Speaker 5: So I would encourage you to do that. Mike Lee's 1174 01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:47,480 Speaker 5: bill is currently in committee. I believe the Energy and 1175 01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:53,160 Speaker 5: Natural Resources Committee TBD whether it gets out of there, 1176 01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:57,040 Speaker 5: but he has tried twice, like since the summer to 1177 01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:02,000 Speaker 5: significantly destroy this credible thing that we all have access 1178 01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,280 Speaker 5: to in the United States. He will continue to try. 1179 01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:09,960 Speaker 5: This is clearly something that he has an agenda for, so, like, 1180 01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:12,280 Speaker 5: I would really encourage people to keep an eye out 1181 01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:15,360 Speaker 5: and we will keep reporting on it. Anything else you 1182 01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:17,480 Speaker 5: want to talk about public land scare. 1183 01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:22,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's a different approach to dealing with 1184 01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:27,200 Speaker 4: like protected wilderness land. Prop one to amend the state 1185 01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:31,480 Speaker 4: Constitution just passed in New York. Basically what happened like 1186 01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:34,400 Speaker 4: one hundred years ago, they were building this Olympic sports 1187 01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:40,120 Speaker 4: complex and violation of the wilderness like protection like state 1188 01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:45,160 Speaker 4: like act or part of the Constitution. And to deal 1189 01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,600 Speaker 4: with that, I'm not sure what it's taken this long, 1190 01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:51,320 Speaker 4: but to deal with this, they have just days ago 1191 01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:55,040 Speaker 4: voted to amenda Constitution to set aside two thousand, five 1192 01:05:55,120 --> 01:06:01,280 Speaker 4: hundred acres of mountain land nearby but not on this complex, 1193 01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:06,160 Speaker 4: and to turn that into protected land to then continue 1194 01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:10,040 Speaker 4: the operation and like maintenance of the sports complex. The 1195 01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:13,880 Speaker 4: proposition was worded a bit weird, but I think in 1196 01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,000 Speaker 4: effect this just results in there being in in the 1197 01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:21,760 Speaker 4: end of more public land or more protected land specifically. Yeah, 1198 01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:26,240 Speaker 4: and the complex that already exists can then continue to 1199 01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,320 Speaker 4: function because the lands already it was already used. 1200 01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:32,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, right, like they sort of built it and then 1201 01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:37,040 Speaker 5: ask permission like I guess one hundred years later almost. Yeah, 1202 01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:41,840 Speaker 5: Like land swaps happen they like and like like sometimes 1203 01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:43,760 Speaker 5: you'll see people being like, oh, it's this public landing 1204 01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:46,240 Speaker 5: sort of Like sometimes land swaps are very menial, right, 1205 01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:49,400 Speaker 5: like if there's a little parcel of national forest land 1206 01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:51,600 Speaker 5: or like it can be it's a piece that like 1207 01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:53,320 Speaker 5: is next to a school and the school needs a 1208 01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:56,520 Speaker 5: playing field and those yeah things like that land. Landswaps 1209 01:06:56,560 --> 01:07:01,000 Speaker 5: do happen. And as long as we're not like losing 1210 01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:04,800 Speaker 5: anchorage to oil and gas or to like mcmahonson building, 1211 01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:06,600 Speaker 5: you know, I think we can be flexible. 1212 01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:06,720 Speaker 3: No. 1213 01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:08,560 Speaker 4: I mean if anything, this this, this will set us 1214 01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:11,800 Speaker 4: side thousands of acres of land to not have that 1215 01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:15,120 Speaker 4: happen to it. Yeah, in the mountains of like that 1216 01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:21,200 Speaker 4: run agyoric. Yes, and then this complex can now continue 1217 01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:23,480 Speaker 4: to get maintained. I think if this, if this didn't pass, 1218 01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:27,640 Speaker 4: they would like restrictions would fall upon the capacity of 1219 01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:29,040 Speaker 4: this complex started to be operating. 1220 01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:30,640 Speaker 5: That's dumb because you have a place which is like 1221 01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:34,640 Speaker 5: it's not going back, right, Like, once you've built stuff, you. 1222 01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:35,080 Speaker 3: Should use it. 1223 01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:37,120 Speaker 4: The damage has been dying, I should use it here 1224 01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:40,480 Speaker 4: and then protect more land exactly. Yeah, And luckily this 1225 01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:43,800 Speaker 4: this thing barely passed. It was it was pretty closing 1226 01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:44,840 Speaker 4: around fifty two percent. 1227 01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:45,160 Speaker 5: Yes. 1228 01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:47,840 Speaker 4: Most of the votes for no did come from people, 1229 01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:50,160 Speaker 4: I think living in New York City. I think mostly 1230 01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,520 Speaker 4: because of the way the proposition was worded. It was 1231 01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:55,200 Speaker 4: worded in a in an odd way because it made 1232 01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:59,920 Speaker 4: it sound like you're like sacrificing currently protected land at 1233 01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:03,360 Speaker 4: complexes on so I think people who are approaching it's 1234 01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:06,800 Speaker 4: from like kind of an ecological standpoint, a consumation standpoint. Yeah, 1235 01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:11,760 Speaker 4: like misunderstood or had or had some like differing view 1236 01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:16,040 Speaker 4: on like the value of protecting the current land and 1237 01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:19,680 Speaker 4: the complex is on versus establishing thousands of acres of 1238 01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:21,080 Speaker 4: more lands to be protected nearby. 1239 01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:24,960 Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, I mean initiatives and propositions are often written 1240 01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:28,120 Speaker 5: in a particularly bizarre way, and it's a It's not 1241 01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:31,360 Speaker 5: like like the California Prop fifty was like two lines. 1242 01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,840 Speaker 5: This is several paragraphs of so I can see how 1243 01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:37,760 Speaker 5: it would have been confusing to people. But yeah, like 1244 01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:40,080 Speaker 5: this also happens at a state level all the time, right, 1245 01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:42,840 Speaker 5: Like states have public lands too. You'll see like a 1246 01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:47,040 Speaker 5: patchwork of state and federal and private land, especially like 1247 01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:49,920 Speaker 5: in some national forests in the West. Right, But that's 1248 01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:53,960 Speaker 5: something that especially in Republican rund states now people should 1249 01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:55,920 Speaker 5: be very aware of in their own states. Is like 1250 01:08:56,760 --> 01:09:00,759 Speaker 5: the GOP didn't used to be massively anti public plans. 1251 01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:04,719 Speaker 5: This is a new thing for them, right, They always 1252 01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:06,800 Speaker 5: felt like they needed their I guess maybe that they 1253 01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:09,920 Speaker 5: needed their like hunting, fishing, shooting, crowd. 1254 01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:15,080 Speaker 4: No, but environmentalism is now wokeafi Yeah, exactly. Yeah, this 1255 01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:16,559 Speaker 4: is like a post al gore. 1256 01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:18,360 Speaker 3: Thing of now. 1257 01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:21,519 Speaker 4: The conservatives associate a lot of this language with like 1258 01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,120 Speaker 4: climate change algorisms. 1259 01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:26,599 Speaker 3: It's his this woke element. 1260 01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:30,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's very strange. It's funny. Often when I'm out about, 1261 01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:34,080 Speaker 5: you know, like exploring in the back country, I run 1262 01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:37,519 Speaker 5: into guys who are out there like they're either hunting 1263 01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:41,280 Speaker 5: or like looking for places to hunt. I think will 1264 01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:43,560 Speaker 5: be like, oh, yeah, well there aren't as many of 1265 01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:46,120 Speaker 5: the turkeys or the deer or the whatever is they 1266 01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:49,000 Speaker 5: used to be. But then it's very hard for people 1267 01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:52,280 Speaker 5: who now can't say climate change is real to find 1268 01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:55,080 Speaker 5: a way of like having permission to say what they 1269 01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:58,200 Speaker 5: want to say because they've seen it with their own eyes. Yeah, 1270 01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:00,600 Speaker 5: but also the don't want to say it. 1271 01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:02,800 Speaker 4: But no, I mean I did an episode about this 1272 01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:05,760 Speaker 4: after the R and C because I talked with Yeah, yeah, 1273 01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:10,040 Speaker 4: this like Republican conservation group about how they're trying to 1274 01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:14,639 Speaker 4: bring back like put the conservative back in conservation. 1275 01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:19,160 Speaker 5: Jesus. Yeah. Yeah, I think Germany generally, the idea of 1276 01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:22,439 Speaker 5: them conserving anything is pretty much off the table at 1277 01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:24,960 Speaker 5: this point. But yeah, people getting out in public land. 1278 01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:27,519 Speaker 5: Will you will understand climate change. You spend long enough 1279 01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:30,320 Speaker 5: going to the same spot, and you're going to see 1280 01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:32,679 Speaker 5: what that means. So it has a lot of benefits. 1281 01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:36,240 Speaker 5: Go outside this weekend, go camping. It's a great desert 1282 01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:39,200 Speaker 5: season right now. If you're within range of a desert, 1283 01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:42,519 Speaker 5: go camping in the desert. Look at the stars to 1284 01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:46,360 Speaker 5: find a dark sky area if that's your thing. Because 1285 01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:49,000 Speaker 5: ARII who had the like, don't go shopping on Black Friday. 1286 01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:51,760 Speaker 5: Go outside. I don't know, you don't. You don't remember this. 1287 01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:53,680 Speaker 5: It's okay, this is just shit that I you. 1288 01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:54,519 Speaker 3: Know, I am. 1289 01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:59,439 Speaker 4: I am pro gazing at the flickering lights of civilization Garrison. 1290 01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:02,600 Speaker 5: No one wants to see the fucking flickering lights of civilization. 1291 01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:06,760 Speaker 5: I do, I do, I don't. I want to see 1292 01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:09,840 Speaker 5: the stars. I camped in Chaco Canyon earlier this year. 1293 01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:13,200 Speaker 5: Banger of a national park. That's my it's my final tip. 1294 01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:16,280 Speaker 5: View of the Great House at Chaco Canyon was the 1295 01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:21,759 Speaker 5: largest building constructed in the United States until eighteen eighty. 1296 01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:23,840 Speaker 2: Really yeah, yeah, it is vast. 1297 01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:27,000 Speaker 5: It's one of the least visited parks in a system 1298 01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:28,640 Speaker 5: because you have to go like seventeen miles down in 1299 01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:34,520 Speaker 5: dirt road. Sure, but incredible that these are the ancestral 1300 01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:37,440 Speaker 5: Pueblo ins, right, like the people who are the ancestors 1301 01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:41,800 Speaker 5: of the Pueblo tribes today. But it's an amazing place 1302 01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:44,080 Speaker 5: to go check out. You should all go, not at once. 1303 01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:46,080 Speaker 5: There's not enough space for all of you. 1304 01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:48,799 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just rolling through Mike Lee's Twitter account. 1305 01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:53,400 Speaker 5: Now, oh yeah, you got any bangers? Not really really, 1306 01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:54,160 Speaker 5: not really. 1307 01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:56,479 Speaker 4: I mean he's whining about Zoron and posting a lot 1308 01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:58,120 Speaker 4: about Charlie Kirk and that's mostly it. 1309 01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:02,200 Speaker 5: See, he doesn't talk about this stuff because no one 1310 01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:06,000 Speaker 5: likes it. He got hammered by a bunch of like, 1311 01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,720 Speaker 5: very right wing rancher types on Twitter last time he 1312 01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:10,360 Speaker 5: tried to do this. 1313 01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:11,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, makes sense. 1314 01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:14,080 Speaker 5: I think he knows better because a lot of people 1315 01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,200 Speaker 5: you can also graze cattle on public land, right, there's 1316 01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:20,200 Speaker 5: been a whole standoff about this. Long time listeners will 1317 01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:24,840 Speaker 5: remember the Bundy situation. But yeah, linked to I guess 1318 01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:28,040 Speaker 5: he's also pissed those people off. Now, I just went 1319 01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:30,120 Speaker 5: to search for the news coverage of this. The only 1320 01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:32,840 Speaker 5: thing we can find is a Washington Examiner. So it's 1321 01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:36,560 Speaker 5: it's just us and them. Got the video the autoplayers 1322 01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,240 Speaker 5: on the Washington Examiner page is petrifying. 1323 01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:42,600 Speaker 3: The true bastions of journalists and the Washington. 1324 01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:47,840 Speaker 5: Horseshoes theory come to life.

So, yeah, 1347 01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:14,160 Speaker 10: we're in an interesting moment in American politics. I think 1348 01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:17,679 Speaker 10: the Palestine question is obviously very very relevant. So yeah, 1349 01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:19,360 Speaker 10: I met Welcome to the podcast. 1350 01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:20,280 Speaker 5: Thank you, Donna. 1351 01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:21,240 Speaker 11: It's a pleasure to be here. 1352 01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:24,519 Speaker 10: All right, So maybe we can start with kind of 1353 01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:27,400 Speaker 10: an introduction to yourself. You can tell us about your 1354 01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:29,960 Speaker 10: experience as an activist, as an organizer. 1355 01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:31,360 Speaker 5: Sure, yes, as a researcher. 1356 01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:35,000 Speaker 11: Yeah, So I was born in Resident Palestine and Gaza 1357 01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:38,920 Speaker 11: and Ralphah and my family moved here when I was 1358 01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:42,280 Speaker 11: a kid and became naturalized so American citizen when I 1359 01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:44,559 Speaker 11: was ten years old. So that was in the mid nineties, 1360 01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:48,360 Speaker 11: and you know, went to college right after nine to eleven, 1361 01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:52,600 Speaker 11: and like lots of people, was galvanized around that experience. 1362 01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:55,400 Speaker 11: I think it was a pier. Was so a journalist 1363 01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:57,680 Speaker 11: both in Bede Lutin and Cairo, and often you'd meet 1364 01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:02,040 Speaker 11: American journalists roughly of my generation, and all of them 1365 01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:04,680 Speaker 11: would indicate that, you know, I became engaged around the 1366 01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:07,840 Speaker 11: Middle East because of nine to eleven. I think nine 1367 01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:12,280 Speaker 11: to eleven was four our generation, a big learning opportunity 1368 01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:15,600 Speaker 11: for people. The global war on terror, the war in 1369 01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:20,479 Speaker 11: Iraq galvanized a lot of the left, and I'm thinking 1370 01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:22,600 Speaker 11: now of move on dot org, and so this is 1371 01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:25,120 Speaker 11: really the environment that I grew up in. Today, I 1372 01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:29,680 Speaker 11: mostly work with The Guardian with the Nation mostly right 1373 01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:32,759 Speaker 11: about Palestine, Israel and American foreign policy. And as you mentioned, 1374 01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:34,840 Speaker 11: I'm a fellow at the Foundation for Middle East Peace, 1375 01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:40,240 Speaker 11: where I host a podcast, Occupied Thoughts, where we spend 1376 01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:44,200 Speaker 11: a lot of time thinking through policy matters related to Palisigan. 1377 01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:47,240 Speaker 11: I have ideas about how things have changed, but that's 1378 01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:49,120 Speaker 11: just a quick introduction. 1379 01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:50,120 Speaker 5: To me and my work. 1380 01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:54,360 Speaker 9: No, thank you, we're approximately the same age. I won't 1381 01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:55,560 Speaker 9: tell you exactly. 1382 01:15:56,240 --> 01:15:59,920 Speaker 10: How often, but yeah, I just I'm reflecting so much 1383 01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:04,000 Speaker 10: these days on how much the War on Terror was 1384 01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:08,959 Speaker 10: a formative moment politically for our generation, and its interaction 1385 01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:13,160 Speaker 10: with the Postinian issue. I think that's starting to really 1386 01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:15,720 Speaker 10: be understood more widely. I think maybe it was more 1387 01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:20,040 Speaker 10: fringe or like a very select kind of understanding of 1388 01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:22,720 Speaker 10: the left would have that kind of analysis for sure. 1389 01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:24,760 Speaker 11: Just to put a fine point on it, I mean 1390 01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:27,559 Speaker 11: that was the I would say generational awareness that we've 1391 01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:30,200 Speaker 11: been lied to. We've been lied to by Dick Cheney, 1392 01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:33,360 Speaker 11: George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, all of that cohort those people. 1393 01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:36,200 Speaker 11: You can see how that's rebounded today in Maine with 1394 01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:40,880 Speaker 11: Graham Plattner, somebody who fought two or three tours and 1395 01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:46,840 Speaker 11: then subsequently worked as a mercenary with Blackwater, was radicalized, 1396 01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:49,080 Speaker 11: I would say through that experience when he was watching 1397 01:16:49,160 --> 01:16:53,360 Speaker 11: these happy, go lucky diplomats swimming in pools in a 1398 01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:59,400 Speaker 11: diplomatic compound, when just outside, a savage war was being waged, 1399 01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:03,680 Speaker 11: an insurgency. So I would say that, you know, Palestine 1400 01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:07,160 Speaker 11: is so deeply interwoven. Palestine is a long history of 1401 01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:10,360 Speaker 11: having been lied to for people here in the United States. Domestically, 1402 01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:12,720 Speaker 11: that came to a head around the Iraq War. We 1403 01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:16,240 Speaker 11: werelied into that war. And I think you saw, you 1404 01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:22,120 Speaker 11: saw the way that the Biden administration particularly stuck with 1405 01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:25,360 Speaker 11: the playbook and alienated huge numbers of voters in twenty 1406 01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:29,840 Speaker 11: twenty four. So Palestine is kind of indispensal understanding how 1407 01:17:30,040 --> 01:17:34,760 Speaker 11: our elites in the United States have been captured by 1408 01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:39,640 Speaker 11: special interests, by corporatist interests, and we're beginning to see that, 1409 01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:43,760 Speaker 11: I think, rebound in meaningful ways. And of course, congratulations 1410 01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:47,200 Speaker 11: is Ron Mundani done a wonderful job. He ran an 1411 01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:51,080 Speaker 11: extraordinary campaign. I question, though, whether the campaign could have 1412 01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:55,479 Speaker 11: been successful without the awakening that occurred through two years 1413 01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:58,960 Speaker 11: of genocide. And what I mean by that specifically is 1414 01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:05,080 Speaker 11: so many of the taboos that had been enforced around identity, 1415 01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:08,920 Speaker 11: around good politics in America were dispensed with because those 1416 01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:13,360 Speaker 11: taboos were employed to suppress opposition to genocide. 1417 01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:14,000 Speaker 10: Yeah. 1418 01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:16,040 Speaker 9: No, I think you're right on the money on that. 1419 01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:19,679 Speaker 10: I mean, in some ways, the MAGA movement in Donald 1420 01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:24,160 Speaker 10: Trump also capitalized on the lies of the war on 1421 01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:27,719 Speaker 10: Terror two. I mean, despite the incoherence of the MAGA movement, 1422 01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:31,120 Speaker 10: like that was part of a rebuke of the neocons. 1423 01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:35,280 Speaker 10: But of course the left is, especially after two years 1424 01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:39,120 Speaker 10: of unspeakable genocide. I think it has led to just 1425 01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:44,200 Speaker 10: an articulation of how much the American foreign policy in 1426 01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:47,240 Speaker 10: the Middle East is. You mentioned boomerang. That's an imperial 1427 01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:50,640 Speaker 10: boomerang that is impacting American politics. It's also highlighted how 1428 01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:54,200 Speaker 10: much the elite, and public opinion is bifurcated on this. 1429 01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:57,240 Speaker 10: Palistin has become an issue of democracy. I don't want 1430 01:18:57,240 --> 01:18:59,320 Speaker 10: to put words in your mouth, but that's what I 1431 01:18:59,360 --> 01:18:59,760 Speaker 10: would say. 1432 01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:03,519 Speaker 11: No, I think that's correct. I agree with that. I mean, 1433 01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:07,400 Speaker 11: so Palestine went from being specifically Palestine, from being a 1434 01:19:07,479 --> 01:19:10,719 Speaker 11: niche issue when I was in college post colonial studies 1435 01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:13,800 Speaker 11: majors knew about Palestine and could integrate Palestine into an 1436 01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:17,160 Speaker 11: understanding of life in America, to being really part of 1437 01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:19,280 Speaker 11: the American story today. And I think it's apt to 1438 01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:22,640 Speaker 11: describe it that way. The experience of watching a genocide 1439 01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:25,640 Speaker 11: unfold for two years has been radicalizing for many, but 1440 01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:29,960 Speaker 11: it's also been enlightening in that the first question was 1441 01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:34,439 Speaker 11: why is this happening? The second question is why can't 1442 01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:37,840 Speaker 11: we stop it? Okay, Israel's an independent country, we can't 1443 01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:41,800 Speaker 11: control them. Fine, why are we still supporting this? And 1444 01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:44,800 Speaker 11: ultimately you end up going down that rabbit hole and 1445 01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:47,200 Speaker 11: arriving at what is this Israel lobby? What is this 1446 01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:51,120 Speaker 11: special interest? And so I think the degree of complicity, 1447 01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:54,080 Speaker 11: the way in which the Biden administration blew so much smoke, 1448 01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:57,559 Speaker 11: the way in which both sides of the Aisle engaged 1449 01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:03,160 Speaker 11: in genocide and cheered the genocide has caused the Palestine 1450 01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:05,760 Speaker 11: issue to become deeply interwoven with the experience of being 1451 01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:08,519 Speaker 11: American today. And I don't think that's an overstatement, and 1452 01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:11,320 Speaker 11: I think concretely it means that you need an answer 1453 01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:14,959 Speaker 11: to the question, Well, if you can't stand up to genocide, 1454 01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:18,280 Speaker 11: if you can't stand up for defenseless children in Palestine, 1455 01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:19,600 Speaker 11: and if you're going to lie to me about it, 1456 01:20:19,960 --> 01:20:21,880 Speaker 11: why would I expect you to stand up for anything 1457 01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:24,720 Speaker 11: meaningful as it relates to my standard of living, Say, 1458 01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:27,200 Speaker 11: I'm a working class person. And so it's become this 1459 01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:29,439 Speaker 11: litmus test, at least on the left, and I think 1460 01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:32,360 Speaker 11: you're saying a similar dynamic playout on the right, but 1461 01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:35,800 Speaker 11: for totally different reasons, right right. And it's been extraordinary 1462 01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:37,559 Speaker 11: to behold because I think so many of us who've 1463 01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:41,719 Speaker 11: been in this issue for so long, we've been marking 1464 01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:46,280 Speaker 11: our progress in incrementalist terms, and then suddenly things have 1465 01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:49,080 Speaker 11: broken wide open and the world has changed very very quickly. 1466 01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:54,479 Speaker 10: Yeah, from my vantage point in American academia, I mean, 1467 01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:59,600 Speaker 10: they might have had personal feelings about Israel Palestine, they 1468 01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:02,479 Speaker 10: may have had sympathies, but so few people would ever 1469 01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:07,040 Speaker 10: talk about the erasure of Palestine in the academy or 1470 01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:10,560 Speaker 10: the impact of censorship and attacks on academic freedom. But 1471 01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:13,479 Speaker 10: now because the Palaestinan issue is being used as this 1472 01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:16,519 Speaker 10: cudgel to attack higher education, like you're just a normal 1473 01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:20,880 Speaker 10: Joshmo like math professor, You're gonna have to care and 1474 01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:23,320 Speaker 10: you do. And we're seeing this very much with the 1475 01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:26,680 Speaker 10: mobilization of the American Association of University Professors that is 1476 01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:32,200 Speaker 10: not a Middle East specific organization whatsoever, but they recognize 1477 01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:34,640 Speaker 10: the linkages between these issues, so in the ways that 1478 01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:38,400 Speaker 10: Palestine is interwoven with but also has impacted so many 1479 01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:43,639 Speaker 10: of our current realities and the policies that we're facing 1480 01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:46,640 Speaker 10: by the Trump administration and the Bye administration before them. 1481 01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:48,880 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it's very clear to a lot of people. 1482 01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:01,559 Speaker 5: So that actually brings me to one of. 1483 01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:03,240 Speaker 10: The main questions that I wanted to ask you, is, 1484 01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:08,840 Speaker 10: aside from kind of this increased awareness and the taboos 1485 01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:11,720 Speaker 10: that have been broken around the discussion of Palestine and 1486 01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:15,200 Speaker 10: its integration in American foreign policy and American domestic policy, 1487 01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:18,640 Speaker 10: what are some other ways that you think since the 1488 01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:23,439 Speaker 10: genocide began that pro Palestine organizing has changed. 1489 01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:27,160 Speaker 11: So the biggest thing I've seen is that the analytical 1490 01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:30,759 Speaker 11: frame has changed. We used to talk about foreign policy, 1491 01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:34,120 Speaker 11: adventurers and wars for oil, those kinds of things. Now 1492 01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:38,080 Speaker 11: I think the analysis is very correctly focused on empire, 1493 01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:42,639 Speaker 11: the way in which resources domestically, the real working class 1494 01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:46,200 Speaker 11: effort to build a life in the United States is 1495 01:22:46,280 --> 01:22:52,360 Speaker 11: subsumed by wars of really imperial overreach. The whole idea 1496 01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:55,599 Speaker 11: of empire for me was an antiquated one I didn't 1497 01:22:55,640 --> 01:22:58,040 Speaker 11: think add a whole lot of relevance today. But I 1498 01:22:58,120 --> 01:23:01,080 Speaker 11: think I and many others who may have thought in 1499 01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:04,799 Speaker 11: that way missed the point the realities that empires intact. 1500 01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:09,719 Speaker 11: I think that awareness that our efforts domestically are deeply, 1501 01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:13,800 Speaker 11: deeply intertwined with what's happening what we're doing elsewhere, is 1502 01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:15,000 Speaker 11: important and it's emergent. 1503 01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:15,559 Speaker 2: It's new. 1504 01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:18,000 Speaker 11: When I was in graduate school, you would hear people 1505 01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:20,519 Speaker 11: talk about how they're engaged with domestic policy, or people 1506 01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:23,120 Speaker 11: talk about their infests in foreign policy, and I was 1507 01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:26,960 Speaker 11: mostly interested in foreign policy. But today, to try to 1508 01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:31,439 Speaker 11: draw that differentiation is really meaningless. And again you see 1509 01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:32,519 Speaker 11: that in the race in New York. 1510 01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:32,920 Speaker 5: Mom. 1511 01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:36,519 Speaker 11: Donnie did run on affordability, he ran on a domestic 1512 01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:40,400 Speaker 11: policy program, but equally thirty eight percent I think of 1513 01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:44,840 Speaker 11: voters were heavily motivated by his foreign policy interests and 1514 01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:49,000 Speaker 11: his foreign policy perspectives, which, again from a policy point 1515 01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:52,639 Speaker 11: of view, he can't really impact, but nonetheless are supported 1516 01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:56,000 Speaker 11: by this idea that our taxes, what we do domestically 1517 01:23:56,520 --> 01:23:58,920 Speaker 11: is having a huge impact everywhere else in the world, 1518 01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:02,600 Speaker 11: and that American empire is sprawling and a challenge for 1519 01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:06,559 Speaker 11: people domestically as well. From a pure activist point of view, 1520 01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:10,519 Speaker 11: you know, I used to have a real belief in 1521 01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:17,200 Speaker 11: electoral politics that was shaken deeply through the DNC, through 1522 01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:22,080 Speaker 11: the grassroots effort to be heard uncommitted. Yeah, the uncommitted 1523 01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:25,720 Speaker 11: movement precisely. We'll see where things go. I mean, the 1524 01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:28,240 Speaker 11: truth is that, you know, the person who is just 1525 01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:32,160 Speaker 11: selected in Jersey is a typical I believe APAC Democrat, 1526 01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:37,120 Speaker 11: Mike Ryl. My perspective domestically is that we need to 1527 01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:40,120 Speaker 11: be aggressive, We need to be forceful in calling for 1528 01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:45,200 Speaker 11: a total reconstitution of Democratic Party, no half measures, and 1529 01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:47,439 Speaker 11: I think zern Mundani did a good job of illustrating 1530 01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:48,160 Speaker 11: what that could look like. 1531 01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:51,400 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean there's always a tension in this very 1532 01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:55,360 Speaker 10: money captured system that we have that at certain level 1533 01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:58,040 Speaker 10: it doesn't really matter liberal or Republican. 1534 01:24:58,040 --> 01:24:58,879 Speaker 9: They are captured. 1535 01:24:59,320 --> 01:25:01,400 Speaker 10: But I think I think what the New York City 1536 01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:05,280 Speaker 10: race has demonstrated is like that can only go so far. 1537 01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:08,640 Speaker 10: You still need some public support, which is why of 1538 01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:10,960 Speaker 10: course they're going after gerrymandering and all of that. But yeah, 1539 01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:14,680 Speaker 10: it's an uphill battle. But I think if this democracy 1540 01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:17,720 Speaker 10: is to exist, we are in a better footing than 1541 01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:20,759 Speaker 10: we were, you know, on this discussion, I also wondering 1542 01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:23,519 Speaker 10: what you think of this characterization, which is that I 1543 01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:28,000 Speaker 10: think before this genocide, and I don't mean to create 1544 01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:31,280 Speaker 10: this binary, but it has been a very transformative event. 1545 01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:34,519 Speaker 10: Before this genocide, I think a lot of Palestinian American 1546 01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:40,160 Speaker 10: organizing in spaces discussed the issue of Palestine in a 1547 01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:45,400 Speaker 10: right spaceed approach way, so about human rights, about ending auparthide, 1548 01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:48,200 Speaker 10: about extending rights, and I think the framing for that 1549 01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:50,400 Speaker 10: has also changed. It is really a critique of settler 1550 01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:55,800 Speaker 10: colonialism and the legitimacy of these nation states. First of all, 1551 01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:57,680 Speaker 10: what do you think of that characterization on my end, 1552 01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:00,040 Speaker 10: but also what do you think of the tension and 1553 01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:04,360 Speaker 10: then that poses for the Palestinian National liberation movement that 1554 01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:05,479 Speaker 10: still wants a state. 1555 01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:06,519 Speaker 5: Yeah, you're right. 1556 01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:09,519 Speaker 11: The thing again, the analytic frame has shifted. We've gone 1557 01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:14,160 Speaker 11: from a contested conversation around nineteen sixty seven, the June 1558 01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:18,839 Speaker 11: War when Israel captured the West Bank from Jordan, Gosta 1559 01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:23,040 Speaker 11: from Egypt, Jerusalem as well from Jordan, the Goal on Heights, 1560 01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:26,360 Speaker 11: some Syria and a small silver of land from Lebanon 1561 01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,280 Speaker 11: to nineteen forty eight. That's what we talk about now, 1562 01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:32,360 Speaker 11: and that's correct, and I think for many Palestinians or 1563 01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:35,600 Speaker 11: Palestinian Americans that has always been the starting point of 1564 01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:38,400 Speaker 11: the conversation. But now we have the political legitimacy to say, 1565 01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:42,920 Speaker 11: wait a second, this whole state was founded upon separate 1566 01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:47,559 Speaker 11: and unequal on Jewish supremacy on a point of view 1567 01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:52,040 Speaker 11: that we reject as Americans and we should reject everywhere 1568 01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:54,240 Speaker 11: in the world. And so I think that's the first 1569 01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:59,200 Speaker 11: meaningful change that I've seen when we talk about Palestine. 1570 01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:02,000 Speaker 11: And then of course settle colonialism is built into that analysis. 1571 01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:05,519 Speaker 11: Things get a little bit different when you zoom out 1572 01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:08,479 Speaker 11: let me just talk about domestic I think that when 1573 01:27:08,520 --> 01:27:11,679 Speaker 11: you talk to people on the left, the universalist argument 1574 01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:15,840 Speaker 11: everybody's created equal is very, very powerful and resonant, and 1575 01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:18,240 Speaker 11: it's the one that I believe in. But what's happening 1576 01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:20,519 Speaker 11: on the right as well is an America first argument, 1577 01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:24,000 Speaker 11: and the word protectorate comes up repeatedly. Why are we 1578 01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:27,880 Speaker 11: investing so much in a protectorate? Tucker Carlston powerfully, I 1579 01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:30,760 Speaker 11: think for his audience, and this is probably the most 1580 01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:34,240 Speaker 11: influential commentator in the United States to day, but powerfully, 1581 01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:37,760 Speaker 11: you know, said, this country has half the size, half 1582 01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:42,040 Speaker 11: the economy the state of Connecticut. Why have we invested 1583 01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:46,040 Speaker 11: so much political capital, so much money and something which 1584 01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:50,280 Speaker 11: is so immaterial, especially when it pays a big negative 1585 01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:55,160 Speaker 11: dividend in lots of different ways. So the nativist argument 1586 01:27:55,240 --> 01:27:58,880 Speaker 11: is meeting the universalist argument. But the core analysis around 1587 01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:04,320 Speaker 11: settled colonialism, around the lack of legitimacy for a supremacist state, 1588 01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:06,880 Speaker 11: gives rise to both of those arguments. That access to 1589 01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:09,800 Speaker 11: the substrate. I would say, Palestinians who want to see 1590 01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:12,240 Speaker 11: a Palestinian state, and how you're going back to Palestine, 1591 01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:15,840 Speaker 11: I don't know what that means today. I've heard perspectives 1592 01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:20,840 Speaker 11: that availing ourselves of statehood as a legal construct will 1593 01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:24,160 Speaker 11: mean that you can now access legal frameworks to pursue 1594 01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:28,000 Speaker 11: justice in the courts wherever they may exist. I hope 1595 01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:30,240 Speaker 11: that's true. Let's see what works out. I think there 1596 01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:33,400 Speaker 11: are people who are trying to take Israeli men dual 1597 01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:36,679 Speaker 11: nationals who participated in the genocide to court in France. 1598 01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:40,400 Speaker 11: I think by using some of the some of the 1599 01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:44,439 Speaker 11: laws that exists between recognized states and non states, or 1600 01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:47,599 Speaker 11: maybe the UK. Let's see if robber meets road there. 1601 01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:51,800 Speaker 11: I support those tactics, but practically, when you're talking about 1602 01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:56,600 Speaker 11: Palestinian liberation, I don't believe that a state which has 1603 01:28:56,640 --> 01:28:58,519 Speaker 11: been colonized out of existence and you kind of have 1604 01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:00,479 Speaker 11: to look at a map to see what I mean here. 1605 01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:04,040 Speaker 11: But the West Bank is thoroughly colonized, Gaza is still 1606 01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:07,679 Speaker 11: occupied by the Israelis and will likely be slowly ethnically 1607 01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:10,559 Speaker 11: cleansed over time and not rebuilt. I fail to see 1608 01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:14,400 Speaker 11: how a state illegal construct is going to yield real 1609 01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:17,400 Speaker 11: benefits for the people on the ground now in Palestine. 1610 01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:22,800 Speaker 10: I agree, and I think that the continuation of this 1611 01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,840 Speaker 10: framework the statehood framework that a lot of our kind 1612 01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:29,519 Speaker 10: of political elites in the Palestinian landscape continue to use, 1613 01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:33,080 Speaker 10: and a lot of these countries in the global North 1614 01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:37,360 Speaker 10: use also to bypass with work that actually needs to 1615 01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:38,920 Speaker 10: be done after a genocide. 1616 01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:41,559 Speaker 9: It's certainly a distraction in. 1617 01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:45,160 Speaker 10: My view, but it also speaks to the renewal that 1618 01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:48,719 Speaker 10: needs to happen within Palestinian politics and within the PLO. 1619 01:29:49,320 --> 01:29:50,880 Speaker 9: But that's a bigger matter. 1620 01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:04,880 Speaker 10: My next question was going to be on the Palsine 1621 01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:07,560 Speaker 10: and American diaspora. In what ways do you think the 1622 01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:13,800 Speaker 10: passing American diaspora is alike with people in historic Palestine, 1623 01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:16,040 Speaker 10: with other diasporas, and in what. 1624 01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:17,320 Speaker 9: Ways do you think that they're unique. 1625 01:30:18,439 --> 01:30:21,880 Speaker 11: That's a hard question for me to answer. I think 1626 01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:24,479 Speaker 11: the diaspora, in the way that I've interacted with people's 1627 01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:28,320 Speaker 11: is diverse. What people have in common is a common 1628 01:30:28,400 --> 01:30:32,040 Speaker 11: reference point, the NECA. They have a common understanding around 1629 01:30:32,600 --> 01:30:35,920 Speaker 11: the illegitimacy of Israel as an ethno state which takes 1630 01:30:35,960 --> 01:30:39,160 Speaker 11: Jewish supremacy as its point of departure. But it's a 1631 01:30:39,240 --> 01:30:42,519 Speaker 11: very diverse diaspora. I mean, our first palacan American in 1632 01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:44,559 Speaker 11: Congress is justin Amash who. 1633 01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:46,240 Speaker 5: Is on the right. 1634 01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:46,760 Speaker 3: That's right. 1635 01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:47,800 Speaker 9: I always forget about him. 1636 01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:50,400 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean he had relatives who were murdered in 1637 01:30:50,520 --> 01:30:53,960 Speaker 11: Visa at a church in northern Vesia, which dates back 1638 01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:58,200 Speaker 11: to I think the eleventh century. So we're diverse diaspora. 1639 01:30:58,280 --> 01:31:01,400 Speaker 11: I think the palace in diaspora in the United States 1640 01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:05,720 Speaker 11: is integrated. It's educated. That's the passport for lots of 1641 01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:08,080 Speaker 11: Palestinians around the world. Is how you get out, It's 1642 01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:10,719 Speaker 11: how you build alive. We have a very high literacy 1643 01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:14,040 Speaker 11: rate in Palestine, exceeds ninety nine point five percent. But 1644 01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:18,320 Speaker 11: I think where the diaspora hasn't, at least in the 1645 01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:21,720 Speaker 11: United States, done as effective a job. And this is 1646 01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:25,519 Speaker 11: kind of the natural trajectory I think of diaspora communities generally. 1647 01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:29,400 Speaker 11: I don't know that we're as aggressive and organized as 1648 01:31:29,439 --> 01:31:32,080 Speaker 11: we could be. And I want to emphasize the word aggressive, 1649 01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:36,559 Speaker 11: the idea that we can go out and compete at 1650 01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:38,840 Speaker 11: all levels of government, that we can go out and 1651 01:31:38,920 --> 01:31:43,519 Speaker 11: assert our understanding of history backed by facts. We should 1652 01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:46,720 Speaker 11: be doing more of that, especially when you look kind 1653 01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:49,840 Speaker 11: of across the board when it comes to people who 1654 01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:52,280 Speaker 11: are doing well in medicine or in business, you know, 1655 01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:56,080 Speaker 11: where there's been a real career risk for speaking out 1656 01:31:56,400 --> 01:31:59,600 Speaker 11: and for being assertive. We can do more now, and 1657 01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:03,120 Speaker 11: we should use the leverage game through two years of 1658 01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:07,519 Speaker 11: genocide the most expensive access to leverage I can imagine, 1659 01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:09,839 Speaker 11: to push much harder politically. 1660 01:32:10,160 --> 01:32:11,280 Speaker 9: Yeah, that's a very good point. 1661 01:32:11,600 --> 01:32:16,680 Speaker 10: I'm also wondering how well you think the Palestinian organizing 1662 01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:21,880 Speaker 10: groups and spaces, how well integrated are they into other 1663 01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:23,479 Speaker 10: activist issue areas. 1664 01:32:24,200 --> 01:32:26,559 Speaker 11: Yeah, I think this is where when I was in college, 1665 01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:29,320 Speaker 11: I didn't know the word intersectionality. That wasn't a concept 1666 01:32:29,439 --> 01:32:32,360 Speaker 11: that really was one that people thought about. You know, 1667 01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:35,479 Speaker 11: you would host an event and you would invite your friends, 1668 01:32:35,600 --> 01:32:37,920 Speaker 11: some of whom would be in the Black students group, 1669 01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:39,720 Speaker 11: some of whom would be in the Queer students group, 1670 01:32:40,320 --> 01:32:43,800 Speaker 11: and just regular left groups. But today I'd say that 1671 01:32:44,040 --> 01:32:48,320 Speaker 11: activists have a much more complete sense of how you 1672 01:32:48,400 --> 01:32:51,959 Speaker 11: almost have a social quilt, and a compression on one 1673 01:32:52,479 --> 01:32:55,360 Speaker 11: part of it will impact everything else that's related to it, 1674 01:32:55,479 --> 01:32:58,000 Speaker 11: and we're all interrelated in that way. I'd say that 1675 01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:02,599 Speaker 11: the most potent discussions around Palestine are coming from left 1676 01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:07,240 Speaker 11: organizing groups, not exactly Palestinian organizing groups. I think if 1677 01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:10,439 Speaker 11: I could offer gentle criticism of Palistine organizers, there's been 1678 01:33:10,479 --> 01:33:13,800 Speaker 11: too much and you sawvicely with uncommitted, too much effort 1679 01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:19,320 Speaker 11: to ingratiate yourselves to the existing power apparatus to ask 1680 01:33:19,439 --> 01:33:22,800 Speaker 11: for a seat at the table. When it's somebody like 1681 01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:26,719 Speaker 11: Zoron Mumdani again who demanded a seat at the table 1682 01:33:27,080 --> 01:33:31,519 Speaker 11: through an unrelenting focus on the issues, achieved access to 1683 01:33:31,640 --> 01:33:35,120 Speaker 11: a platform, then nobody wanted to seed. And I don't 1684 01:33:35,160 --> 01:33:39,519 Speaker 11: think that following the rules exactly or being friendly about 1685 01:33:40,160 --> 01:33:44,479 Speaker 11: accessing platforms within the democratic parties one yield a huge 1686 01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:48,320 Speaker 11: benefit to Palestinian Americans or people here. I'd say the 1687 01:33:48,439 --> 01:33:51,960 Speaker 11: most principled organizing is organizing that's going to win, and 1688 01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:54,639 Speaker 11: today that comes from non Palestinian groups, and I'm okay 1689 01:33:54,720 --> 01:33:57,320 Speaker 11: with that. I don't really think it matters if the 1690 01:33:57,600 --> 01:34:01,240 Speaker 11: best argument is coming from somebody whose family comes from 1691 01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:04,880 Speaker 11: South Asia through Uganda or somebody whose family emerges from 1692 01:34:05,080 --> 01:34:08,559 Speaker 11: you know, the Balata refugee camp, that doesn't really matter 1693 01:34:08,640 --> 01:34:11,040 Speaker 11: to me. I think just to focus on the principles 1694 01:34:11,120 --> 01:34:12,040 Speaker 11: is the most important thing. 1695 01:34:12,479 --> 01:34:13,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, right right. 1696 01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:16,680 Speaker 10: I think we're definitely seeing more of an acceptance of that. 1697 01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:20,320 Speaker 10: I agree with the limitations that you referenced. I also 1698 01:34:20,439 --> 01:34:24,800 Speaker 10: sometimes do reflect on how matched the discussion is in 1699 01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:28,280 Speaker 10: the United States with the discussion in historic Palestine, and 1700 01:34:28,560 --> 01:34:31,679 Speaker 10: what activists can do to kind of bridge some gaps 1701 01:34:31,760 --> 01:34:34,200 Speaker 10: that might emerge. But of course, understanding that we do 1702 01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:36,639 Speaker 10: exist in a different political reality and we obviously will 1703 01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:38,280 Speaker 10: develop different views as a result of that. 1704 01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:41,880 Speaker 11: I agree, and look, I mean, nobody needs to be 1705 01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:46,679 Speaker 11: apologetic about inhabiting a different reality. You know, we don't 1706 01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:49,680 Speaker 11: need to defer to a leadership which is divided and 1707 01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:52,519 Speaker 11: divided in Palestine and PLO that won't talk to itself, 1708 01:34:52,960 --> 01:34:54,760 Speaker 11: and there are structural reasons for that, right, I mean, 1709 01:34:54,800 --> 01:34:56,839 Speaker 11: the Israelis and the Americans have done a very effective 1710 01:34:56,920 --> 01:34:59,800 Speaker 11: job in splintering palaestinine leadership. I think we need to 1711 01:35:00,240 --> 01:35:03,280 Speaker 11: extremely locally. There are issues that matter to my community 1712 01:35:03,320 --> 01:35:09,479 Speaker 11: in West Philadelphia, bigger issues across Pennsylvania that impact my life, 1713 01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:12,080 Speaker 11: that impact my life as a father of three little girls. 1714 01:35:12,680 --> 01:35:16,680 Speaker 11: So I think being a member of a community and 1715 01:35:16,800 --> 01:35:20,479 Speaker 11: focusing again relentlessly on the principles and the fact that 1716 01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:23,799 Speaker 11: we've known all along is critical to pushing the conversation 1717 01:35:23,880 --> 01:35:27,639 Speaker 11: on palsign forward and practically today, for me, that means 1718 01:35:27,680 --> 01:35:31,000 Speaker 11: an arms embargo, it means sanctions, it means a cultural boycott, 1719 01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:34,799 Speaker 11: and it means those things unapologetically. Again, those are principal 1720 01:35:34,920 --> 01:35:38,920 Speaker 11: positions that I can take as an American citizen, a 1721 01:35:39,040 --> 01:35:43,320 Speaker 11: citizen in a country which has underwritten genocide, has underwritten 1722 01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:44,400 Speaker 11: apartheid for decades. 1723 01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:45,120 Speaker 5: Yep. 1724 01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:49,800 Speaker 10: I think I agree with that analysis. As the author, 1725 01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:51,679 Speaker 10: which we didn't mention at the beginning, as the author 1726 01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:54,679 Speaker 10: one of the co authors of After Zionism with Anthony Lonstein, 1727 01:35:55,800 --> 01:35:58,360 Speaker 10: I'm going to pose a difficult question for you now. 1728 01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:00,400 Speaker 10: I'm just joking, not that you have to answer fully, 1729 01:36:00,479 --> 01:36:03,280 Speaker 10: but where do you think we go from here? Where 1730 01:36:03,280 --> 01:36:05,080 Speaker 10: do you think the pro Palestine movement goes from here? 1731 01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:07,760 Speaker 10: And if you can reflect in your answer on where 1732 01:36:07,800 --> 01:36:09,599 Speaker 10: we've stalled as well. 1733 01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:10,800 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1734 01:36:11,080 --> 01:36:13,719 Speaker 11: So I used to believe in one state for everybody 1735 01:36:13,800 --> 01:36:16,280 Speaker 11: with equal rights. Today I think the writing is on 1736 01:36:16,400 --> 01:36:20,439 Speaker 11: the wall for the Palestinians in Palestine. The ethnic cleansing 1737 01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:25,320 Speaker 11: of Palestine is preceded the fact that has been utterly destroyed, 1738 01:36:25,520 --> 01:36:30,200 Speaker 11: utterly destroyed. There are no universities, no schools, no really 1739 01:36:30,280 --> 01:36:34,320 Speaker 11: functioning hospitals. The basic infrastructure required for the maintenance of 1740 01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:37,360 Speaker 11: life doesn't exist there anymore. That's part of why it's 1741 01:36:37,400 --> 01:36:41,439 Speaker 11: a genocide. We've got to take that reality into account. 1742 01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:45,160 Speaker 11: The Palestinians and Za the Palestinians and Palestine generally have 1743 01:36:45,240 --> 01:36:47,760 Speaker 11: the right to pursue life. They have a right to 1744 01:36:47,800 --> 01:36:50,280 Speaker 11: an education, they have a right to self actualization, and 1745 01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:52,519 Speaker 11: many of them, when they can, they're going to leave. 1746 01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:56,640 Speaker 11: That's the ethnic cleansing program, that's the idea behind the 1747 01:36:56,760 --> 01:37:00,719 Speaker 11: mass destruction of Palestine. The Israelis are sixty in that regard. 1748 01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:03,080 Speaker 11: I would say, we need to be mindful of that. 1749 01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:05,080 Speaker 11: We need to be aware of that. So what I 1750 01:37:05,160 --> 01:37:08,200 Speaker 11: think will happen ultimately is that you'll end up with 1751 01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:12,759 Speaker 11: some rump community of Palestinians in Palestine who are eventually 1752 01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:15,240 Speaker 11: when in arms embargoes enacted. And I hope it's within 1753 01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:19,080 Speaker 11: our lifetimes when the sanctions are enacted, when Israel is 1754 01:37:19,160 --> 01:37:22,559 Speaker 11: forced to become a normal country with equal rights for all, 1755 01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:25,880 Speaker 11: will continue to exist in that space. I don't know, 1756 01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:28,800 Speaker 11: you know, I can't predict, nobody can really predict what's 1757 01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:32,080 Speaker 11: certainty what's going to happen. But the kinds of pressure 1758 01:37:32,240 --> 01:37:36,240 Speaker 11: required to cause Israel to become a de radicalized normal 1759 01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:41,000 Speaker 11: society will take time to produce. And in the interim, 1760 01:37:41,680 --> 01:37:44,240 Speaker 11: the writing is on the wall for the Palacinians in Palestine, 1761 01:37:44,280 --> 01:37:47,120 Speaker 11: and I think that's the saddust for me part of 1762 01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:51,600 Speaker 11: all this. The continuity of Palacinian life and Palestine is 1763 01:37:51,680 --> 01:37:58,360 Speaker 11: not guaranteed. You know, the overwhelming force of the state 1764 01:37:58,640 --> 01:38:01,599 Speaker 11: exists in one place, and that's in Israel. 1765 01:38:02,479 --> 01:38:05,599 Speaker 10: Yeah, that's why I when a lot of people talk 1766 01:38:05,720 --> 01:38:08,880 Speaker 10: positively about the developments of the past two years, of 1767 01:38:08,920 --> 01:38:11,519 Speaker 10: course you want to feel hope. You want to highlight 1768 01:38:12,360 --> 01:38:15,479 Speaker 10: how the discussion has changed here in America, how politics 1769 01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:18,920 Speaker 10: is moving forward. You want to have some pathway. But 1770 01:38:19,040 --> 01:38:22,720 Speaker 10: we never were able to prevent that genocide. Nothing we 1771 01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:26,160 Speaker 10: did in any avenue. All of us have, you know, 1772 01:38:26,240 --> 01:38:30,720 Speaker 10: different positionalities, engaged with different actors, like none of it 1773 01:38:31,400 --> 01:38:32,400 Speaker 10: actually stopped that, and. 1774 01:38:32,640 --> 01:38:34,599 Speaker 9: That is a very hard pill to swallow. 1775 01:38:35,080 --> 01:38:35,599 Speaker 3: I hope. 1776 01:38:35,800 --> 01:38:41,040 Speaker 10: I've always been hoping that at least that will allow 1777 01:38:41,160 --> 01:38:43,360 Speaker 10: us to get to the place of self reflection about 1778 01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:46,920 Speaker 10: what radical solutions look like in the aftermath of this 1779 01:38:47,080 --> 01:38:47,719 Speaker 10: kind of disaster. 1780 01:38:48,360 --> 01:38:50,920 Speaker 9: And yeah, I hope that's that's where we go from here. 1781 01:38:51,160 --> 01:38:53,800 Speaker 10: On my end, Yeah, thank you so much, Ahmad that 1782 01:38:53,840 --> 01:38:57,360 Speaker 10: this has been a really enriching discussion, and I think 1783 01:38:57,400 --> 01:39:03,080 Speaker 10: that the listeners will benefit from this overarching view of 1784 01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:07,320 Speaker 10: Ptal Palace on activism and it's intersections with everything we're 1785 01:39:07,360 --> 01:39:08,040 Speaker 10: seeing unfold. 1786 01:39:08,240 --> 01:39:10,479 Speaker 11: So thank you so much again, Thank you, Donna. It's 1787 01:39:10,520 --> 01:39:11,599 Speaker 11: been a huge fighter. 1788 01:39:28,600 --> 01:39:32,439 Speaker 4: Two weeks ago, four days before Halloween, former Fox News 1789 01:39:32,479 --> 01:39:35,920 Speaker 4: anchor Tucker Carlson hosted the twenty seven year old white 1790 01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:42,519 Speaker 4: pharmacist influencer Nick Fuentes on Tucker's popular internet show. Two 1791 01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:47,040 Speaker 4: weeks later, this interview has over six million views on YouTube, 1792 01:39:47,280 --> 01:39:52,240 Speaker 4: over half million on Rumble, and eighteen million alleged views 1793 01:39:52,400 --> 01:39:55,759 Speaker 4: on x the Everything app with over one hundred thousand 1794 01:39:56,040 --> 01:40:00,360 Speaker 4: likes and twenty thousand retweets, plus the unknown number of 1795 01:40:00,479 --> 01:40:05,360 Speaker 4: views from podcasting platforms like Apple or Spotify, on which 1796 01:40:05,400 --> 01:40:10,840 Speaker 4: Tucker Carlson's show also airs. This is it could happen here. 1797 01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:16,120 Speaker 4: I'm Garrison Davis. Throughout the almost entirely friendly two hour interview, 1798 01:40:16,640 --> 01:40:21,080 Speaker 4: Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson discussed Nick's libertarian origin story, 1799 01:40:21,320 --> 01:40:25,680 Speaker 4: his conversion to Trump's bombastic style of populism getting a 1800 01:40:25,760 --> 01:40:28,759 Speaker 4: show on the Right Side Broadcast network as a teenager 1801 01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:32,479 Speaker 4: after a viral college debate, how the Daily Wire initially 1802 01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:36,320 Speaker 4: befriended then tried to quash his early political career, and 1803 01:40:36,479 --> 01:40:40,320 Speaker 4: how that pushed Nick to adopt a far right adversarial 1804 01:40:40,479 --> 01:40:46,400 Speaker 4: stance against mainstream conservatism and the gatekeepers of the conservative establishment, 1805 01:40:47,040 --> 01:40:51,640 Speaker 4: which Nick identified as the quote unquote Zionist Jews like 1806 01:40:51,840 --> 01:40:57,200 Speaker 4: Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, and Dennis Prager. Here's Nick and Tucker. 1807 01:40:58,040 --> 01:41:00,960 Speaker 6: It was these the guys that were really controlling the 1808 01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:03,519 Speaker 6: media apparatus that seemed to me to be the biggest 1809 01:41:04,080 --> 01:41:05,519 Speaker 6: impediment Fox. 1810 01:41:05,680 --> 01:41:08,240 Speaker 2: Fox is not a Jewish business though, well. 1811 01:41:08,160 --> 01:41:12,800 Speaker 6: Rupert Murdoch is an ally of Nan Yahoo, so he's aligned. Yeah, 1812 01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:16,280 Speaker 6: and he owns the whole news corp empire, so and yeah, 1813 01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:17,200 Speaker 6: he's certainly a part of it. 1814 01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:17,519 Speaker 3: Also. 1815 01:41:19,840 --> 01:41:22,240 Speaker 2: I mean Dave Rubin though, does he matter? 1816 01:41:22,560 --> 01:41:22,600 Speaker 6: No? 1817 01:41:22,960 --> 01:41:25,240 Speaker 12: No, not really right, I mean Dave Rubin is like, 1818 01:41:25,720 --> 01:41:27,240 Speaker 12: I don't know if do people watch Dave Rubin? 1819 01:41:28,040 --> 01:41:28,160 Speaker 7: Uh? 1820 01:41:28,280 --> 01:41:30,519 Speaker 6: They did back then. I mean, because you got to 1821 01:41:30,560 --> 01:41:33,400 Speaker 6: consider they were kind of like the ascendant new media. 1822 01:41:34,080 --> 01:41:36,680 Speaker 6: You know, they represented the next big thing. 1823 01:41:38,680 --> 01:41:42,160 Speaker 12: I mean and Ben Shapiro seems irrelevant to me now now, 1824 01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:46,519 Speaker 12: but back then for I guess that's that's true, so 1825 01:41:46,800 --> 01:41:47,479 Speaker 12: maybe you one. 1826 01:41:48,360 --> 01:41:49,080 Speaker 3: Oh, certainly. 1827 01:41:49,800 --> 01:41:53,880 Speaker 4: Tucker tried to advise Fuentes to focus more of his 1828 01:41:54,080 --> 01:41:59,400 Speaker 4: ire on Israel's influence on American politics as a foreign 1829 01:41:59,560 --> 01:42:04,680 Speaker 4: policy issue and not quote unquote blood guilt based on ethnicity, 1830 01:42:05,720 --> 01:42:09,519 Speaker 4: while Fuentes defended the necessity of his rhetoric against what 1831 01:42:09,640 --> 01:42:13,000 Speaker 4: he called the quote unquote unique issue of quote unquote 1832 01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:17,799 Speaker 4: organized Jewry that promotes a form of identity politics, linking 1833 01:42:18,080 --> 01:42:23,160 Speaker 4: Israel to quote Jewishness as an ethnicity, identity, and religion unquote, 1834 01:42:23,840 --> 01:42:30,120 Speaker 4: which makes most culturally Jewish people incompatible with America first patriotism. 1835 01:42:31,200 --> 01:42:35,919 Speaker 4: This is basic dual loyalty anti Semitism, which Nick continued 1836 01:42:35,920 --> 01:42:39,479 Speaker 4: to outline by framing Jewish people as a historically stateless 1837 01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:43,679 Speaker 4: people that resist assimilation and put their own interests above 1838 01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:48,160 Speaker 4: those of whichever non Jewish majority country they currently reside, 1839 01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:52,040 Speaker 4: attention which the existence of Israel now heightens. 1840 01:42:52,360 --> 01:42:55,800 Speaker 6: No other country has a strong identity like that. This religious, 1841 01:42:55,840 --> 01:43:00,440 Speaker 6: blood and soil confiction, this history of being in the diaspora, stateless, 1842 01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:07,760 Speaker 6: wandering persecuted, and in particular the historic animosity between the 1843 01:43:07,840 --> 01:43:11,800 Speaker 6: Jewish people and the Europeans. They hate the Romans because 1844 01:43:11,840 --> 01:43:14,840 Speaker 6: the Romans destroyed the Temple. That's why Eric Weinstein goes 1845 01:43:14,880 --> 01:43:17,240 Speaker 6: to the arch of Titus and gives it the finger 1846 01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:18,120 Speaker 6: and takes a picture. 1847 01:43:19,360 --> 01:43:20,200 Speaker 2: We don't think like that. 1848 01:43:20,320 --> 01:43:22,400 Speaker 6: As Americans and white people, we don't think about the 1849 01:43:22,520 --> 01:43:24,360 Speaker 6: Roman Empire in two thousand years ago. 1850 01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:31,679 Speaker 4: They do, right, Americans and Christians would never think about 1851 01:43:31,960 --> 01:43:35,720 Speaker 4: Check's notes, the Roman Empire or the events of two 1852 01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:41,000 Speaker 4: thousand years ago. Sure, Nick, Obviously, to many people listening 1853 01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:45,160 Speaker 4: to this show, Fuentes has been a known anti Semitic 1854 01:43:45,240 --> 01:43:49,640 Speaker 4: stream control for nearly ten years, and Tucker himself knows this. 1855 01:43:50,479 --> 01:43:54,880 Speaker 4: The main pushback Tucker gave Nick was on why Nick 1856 01:43:54,960 --> 01:43:58,759 Speaker 4: attacked other figures on the far right who were possible 1857 01:43:58,840 --> 01:44:03,679 Speaker 4: allies of the America First movement and America First foreign policy, 1858 01:44:03,920 --> 01:44:08,280 Speaker 4: like Marjorie Taylor Green, jd Vance, Joe Kent, and Tucker himself. 1859 01:44:09,040 --> 01:44:09,920 Speaker 2: Why attack them? 1860 01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:14,960 Speaker 6: Well, in short, they attacked me first. Yeah, but like 1861 01:44:15,040 --> 01:44:18,240 Speaker 6: who cares? Well, let's take Joe camp I mean, you 1862 01:44:18,320 --> 01:44:19,600 Speaker 6: attacked me constantly. 1863 01:44:20,200 --> 01:44:23,439 Speaker 4: Tucker also advocated framing that does not allow it. He 1864 01:44:23,600 --> 01:44:27,680 Speaker 4: believes to be popular America first ideas like opposition to 1865 01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:32,160 Speaker 4: foreign influence and dual citizenship to get subverted by leaning 1866 01:44:32,320 --> 01:44:37,559 Speaker 4: into accusations of hate and racial prejudice, which during the interview, 1867 01:44:37,760 --> 01:44:41,120 Speaker 4: Fuentes nominally agreed with some of them. 1868 01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:43,519 Speaker 12: I'm sorry to be a conspiracy nut. I really try 1869 01:44:44,120 --> 01:44:46,519 Speaker 12: not to be a conspiracy because it's embarrassing, you know. 1870 01:44:47,280 --> 01:44:50,439 Speaker 12: But after January sixth, then just finding out the number 1871 01:44:50,439 --> 01:44:53,479 Speaker 12: of FBI personnel in the crowd, it's like, and I've 1872 01:44:53,520 --> 01:44:56,120 Speaker 12: just seen this. David Duke is a great example. Some 1873 01:44:56,280 --> 01:45:00,600 Speaker 12: of these are the Charlottesville rally, had a bunch of 1874 01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:04,320 Speaker 12: Feds there being like we're white supremacist, we hate the blacks, 1875 01:45:05,040 --> 01:45:05,760 Speaker 12: the Edward whatever. 1876 01:45:05,800 --> 01:45:05,960 Speaker 3: You know. 1877 01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:08,600 Speaker 6: It's like, that's not real, Like there is some of 1878 01:45:08,680 --> 01:45:11,960 Speaker 6: that going on, don't you think I think that. I 1879 01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:14,840 Speaker 6: think that there's a lot of sincere people. Well, for sure, 1880 01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:17,719 Speaker 6: I completely agree, you know, and they're just non skulls. 1881 01:45:18,320 --> 01:45:22,040 Speaker 4: For some reason, Nick neglected to mention that he in 1882 01:45:22,200 --> 01:45:25,840 Speaker 4: fact was at Charlottesville, and the backlash to the Unite 1883 01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:28,679 Speaker 4: the Right rally forced him to drop out of college 1884 01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:34,240 Speaker 4: and propelled his streaming career. Throughout this whole interview, it 1885 01:45:34,360 --> 01:45:36,720 Speaker 4: mostly felt like Tucker was trying to act as a 1886 01:45:36,920 --> 01:45:41,040 Speaker 4: mentor figure to Fuentes, advising him to let go of 1887 01:45:41,240 --> 01:45:44,479 Speaker 4: past beefs and providing a sort of clean slate to 1888 01:45:44,600 --> 01:45:47,840 Speaker 4: allow Nick to present his political views in a more 1889 01:45:47,960 --> 01:45:53,960 Speaker 4: streamlined manner as simply anti Israel as an extension of America. First, 1890 01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:58,320 Speaker 4: during the interview, Tucker himself explained his motives for inviting 1891 01:45:58,400 --> 01:45:59,679 Speaker 4: Fuentes on the show. 1892 01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:02,960 Speaker 12: Do you hope that people who want to learn what's 1893 01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:04,880 Speaker 12: happening and who you are will watch the whole thing? 1894 01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:07,720 Speaker 12: It's probably naive, hope that it won't be reduced to 1895 01:46:07,840 --> 01:46:11,320 Speaker 12: whatever you're saying, something naughty and me laughing and see 1896 01:46:11,320 --> 01:46:13,360 Speaker 12: they're both Nazis. I mean, you know that's going to happen, 1897 01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:16,160 Speaker 12: of course, but I'm willing to take that risk because 1898 01:46:16,479 --> 01:46:20,320 Speaker 12: I just think it's important to know. You're clearly ascendant. 1899 01:46:21,040 --> 01:46:23,920 Speaker 12: You're enormously talented, and more talent than I am for 1900 01:46:24,040 --> 01:46:27,519 Speaker 12: sure as a talker. So and they've you know, there 1901 01:46:27,520 --> 01:46:28,880 Speaker 12: have been a lot of attempts to silence here and 1902 01:46:28,880 --> 01:46:31,680 Speaker 12: it hasn't worked. So my calculation obviously be as blun 1903 01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:34,479 Speaker 12: as I can be. Is like, I don't want to 1904 01:46:34,479 --> 01:46:36,559 Speaker 12: have fun tests on it, be like you, but you're 1905 01:46:36,560 --> 01:46:40,000 Speaker 12: a Nazi, just like fint does. Okay, but then I'm like, 1906 01:46:40,160 --> 01:46:43,680 Speaker 12: I don't think fetest is going away. Ben Shapiro tried 1907 01:46:43,720 --> 01:46:47,600 Speaker 12: to like strangle him in the crib in college, and 1908 01:46:48,160 --> 01:46:51,320 Speaker 12: now he's bigger than ever, so it probably would just 1909 01:46:51,400 --> 01:46:53,760 Speaker 12: be worth hearing what Nick Fuinntes thinks. I just want 1910 01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:56,160 Speaker 12: to be transparent about my motives here, and I. 1911 01:46:56,160 --> 01:47:00,519 Speaker 4: Think Tucker is right in calling Funtes ascendant. Talk more 1912 01:47:00,560 --> 01:47:03,280 Speaker 4: about that at the end of this episode. For the 1913 01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:08,000 Speaker 4: last thirty minutes of this interview, the two discussed pornography, 1914 01:47:08,160 --> 01:47:13,839 Speaker 4: alcohol and drugs as ruining America's young men through reality distortion, 1915 01:47:14,439 --> 01:47:17,680 Speaker 4: and I had a whole segment on Nick fuent As 1916 01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:23,400 Speaker 4: explaining to a confused Tucker Carlson the concept of internet pornography, 1917 01:47:23,720 --> 01:47:26,599 Speaker 4: which unfortunately I had to cut for time. But if 1918 01:47:26,640 --> 01:47:29,000 Speaker 4: there's enough demand for this on blue Sky or Reddit, 1919 01:47:29,520 --> 01:47:33,479 Speaker 4: maybe I can make a bonus episode next week. Rather 1920 01:47:33,600 --> 01:47:37,839 Speaker 4: than focusing on the substance of this interview in Tucker's motivation, 1921 01:47:38,360 --> 01:47:40,800 Speaker 4: a lot of mainstream reporting has just highlighted a few 1922 01:47:41,160 --> 01:47:47,320 Speaker 4: controversial sound bites like an offhand, semitrual comment about how 1923 01:47:47,439 --> 01:47:52,120 Speaker 4: Fuentez admires Stalin. But this interview did send shockwaves through 1924 01:47:52,520 --> 01:47:57,519 Speaker 4: the American conservative ecosystem, of which Fuentez was always held 1925 01:47:57,640 --> 01:48:02,240 Speaker 4: at a very long arms length away. In the immediate 1926 01:48:02,320 --> 01:48:06,480 Speaker 4: wake of the interview, references to Tucker were curiously removed 1927 01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:11,040 Speaker 4: from the Heritage Foundation's donor page in partnership with the 1928 01:48:11,160 --> 01:48:15,679 Speaker 4: Tucker Carlson Network. On October thirtieth, Heritage President Kevin Roberts 1929 01:48:15,720 --> 01:48:20,760 Speaker 4: released a video defending Tucker, captioned, there has been speculation 1930 01:48:20,920 --> 01:48:23,680 Speaker 4: that Heritage is distancing itself from Tucker Carlson over the 1931 01:48:23,720 --> 01:48:26,160 Speaker 4: past twenty four hours. I want to put that to 1932 01:48:26,280 --> 01:48:27,320 Speaker 4: rest right now. 1933 01:48:27,760 --> 01:48:32,000 Speaker 13: Conservatives should feel no obligation to reflexively support any foreign government, 1934 01:48:32,400 --> 01:48:34,959 Speaker 13: no matter how loud the pressure becomes from the globalist 1935 01:48:35,040 --> 01:48:39,799 Speaker 13: class or from their mouthpieces in Washington. The Heritage Foundation 1936 01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:43,559 Speaker 13: didn't become the intellectual backbone of the conservative movement by 1937 01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:47,200 Speaker 13: canceling our own people or policing the consciences of Christians, 1938 01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:51,240 Speaker 13: and we won't start doing that now. We will always 1939 01:48:51,280 --> 01:48:54,720 Speaker 13: defend our friends against the slander of bad actors who 1940 01:48:54,800 --> 01:48:59,920 Speaker 13: serve someone else's agenda. That includes Tucker Carlson, who remains 1941 01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:02,960 Speaker 13: and as I have said before, always will be a 1942 01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:07,200 Speaker 13: close friend of the Heritage Foundation. The venomous coalition attacking 1943 01:49:07,320 --> 01:49:11,320 Speaker 13: him or sewing division, their attempt to cancel him will fail. 1944 01:49:12,280 --> 01:49:16,200 Speaker 13: Most importantly, the American people expect us to be focusing 1945 01:49:16,280 --> 01:49:19,720 Speaker 13: on our political adversaries on the left, not attacking our 1946 01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:23,640 Speaker 13: friends on the right. I disagree with and even a 1947 01:49:23,800 --> 01:49:28,000 Speaker 13: poor things that Nick Fuintes says, but canceling him is 1948 01:49:28,080 --> 01:49:31,320 Speaker 13: not the answer either. When we disagree with the person's 1949 01:49:31,360 --> 01:49:35,200 Speaker 13: thoughts and opinions, we challenge those ideas and debate. And 1950 01:49:35,320 --> 01:49:38,280 Speaker 13: we have seen success in this approach as we continue 1951 01:49:38,320 --> 01:49:40,679 Speaker 13: to dismantle the vile ideas of the left. 1952 01:49:42,520 --> 01:49:46,640 Speaker 4: Roberts primarily framed this as an issue of cancelation and 1953 01:49:46,800 --> 01:49:50,920 Speaker 4: included some pretty sketchy lines in that video. Roberts also 1954 01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:56,000 Speaker 4: said that Heritage doesn't quote take direction from members or donors. 1955 01:49:57,720 --> 01:50:01,559 Speaker 4: This video was polarizing, to say the least. Nick Fuentes fans, 1956 01:50:01,560 --> 01:50:06,680 Speaker 4: who are called gropers and America First nationalists rejoiced and 1957 01:50:06,920 --> 01:50:11,640 Speaker 4: claimed victory, while many GOP establishment figures, Jewish Republicans, and 1958 01:50:11,920 --> 01:50:16,160 Speaker 4: many Heritage employees were left bamboozled. The New York Post 1959 01:50:16,240 --> 01:50:20,760 Speaker 4: published internal Heritage group chats with staff members, writing that 1960 01:50:20,920 --> 01:50:23,760 Speaker 4: this was quote the most embarrassed I've ever been to 1961 01:50:23,920 --> 01:50:29,120 Speaker 4: be a Heritage employee. It's not close end quote. I'm 1962 01:50:29,200 --> 01:50:32,479 Speaker 4: disgusted by this and don't understand how this premeditated and 1963 01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:35,759 Speaker 4: orchestrated response could come out of one of the biggest 1964 01:50:35,840 --> 01:50:40,519 Speaker 4: think tanks in the world. Unquote more texts read quote 1965 01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:45,960 Speaker 4: saying we can't cancel someone is safe space wokeism and 1966 01:50:46,400 --> 01:50:49,479 Speaker 4: quote if we are labeled on the same side as 1967 01:50:49,560 --> 01:50:54,120 Speaker 4: Nick Fuentez, then we deserve to lose. Talking with some 1968 01:50:54,240 --> 01:50:56,160 Speaker 4: of the interns, I think that there is a growing 1969 01:50:56,320 --> 01:51:01,559 Speaker 4: number of them who actually agree with Fuentez's views. Now 1970 01:51:01,800 --> 01:51:06,280 Speaker 4: beyond employee dissent, sources close to Heritage told The New 1971 01:51:06,360 --> 01:51:08,599 Speaker 4: York Post that the think tank has been quote unquote 1972 01:51:08,840 --> 01:51:14,719 Speaker 4: hemorrhaging Evangelical, Christian and Jewish donors. David Bernstein, the author 1973 01:51:14,840 --> 01:51:18,840 Speaker 4: of Woke Anti Semitism and a former member of the 1974 01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:22,599 Speaker 4: task force a Heritage called Project Ester, a National Strategy 1975 01:51:22,640 --> 01:51:25,160 Speaker 4: to combat anti Semitism, told The New York Post on 1976 01:51:25,280 --> 01:51:28,679 Speaker 4: November three that he had resigned from his position over 1977 01:51:29,240 --> 01:51:33,640 Speaker 4: Kevin Roberts's remarks citing the language of a venomous coalition 1978 01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:39,360 Speaker 4: aligned against Tucker. To quote Jewish Insider quote, Rabbi Yakov Mencken, 1979 01:51:39,800 --> 01:51:43,519 Speaker 4: executive vice president of the Coalition for Jewish Values, told 1980 01:51:43,600 --> 01:51:46,479 Speaker 4: Jewish Insider that Robert's message quote was the most tone 1981 01:51:46,560 --> 01:51:49,400 Speaker 4: deaf in both its content and timing that I've ever 1982 01:51:49,520 --> 01:51:54,200 Speaker 4: heard from major Washington organization on any political side. On quote, 1983 01:51:54,840 --> 01:51:58,799 Speaker 4: Menkin resigned from Heritage's Protrogester, the group's anti Semitism initiative, 1984 01:51:59,120 --> 01:52:03,160 Speaker 4: last week, sponds to Robert's video message defending Carlson. Along 1985 01:52:03,200 --> 01:52:06,920 Speaker 4: with Menken and Polition for Jewish Voices, several other groups 1986 01:52:06,960 --> 01:52:11,639 Speaker 4: have also publicly disaffiliated from Heritage's anti Semitism task force, 1987 01:52:11,920 --> 01:52:16,679 Speaker 4: including the National Jewish Advocacy Center, the Zionist Organization of America, 1988 01:52:17,040 --> 01:52:22,719 Speaker 4: and the Young Jewish Conservatives. On Halloween, Heritage president Kevin 1989 01:52:22,800 --> 01:52:27,400 Speaker 4: Roberts made a post summarizing a small sampling of Fuentes's 1990 01:52:27,520 --> 01:52:31,920 Speaker 4: most racist, anti Semitic, and pro Hitler views and said quote, 1991 01:52:32,320 --> 01:52:35,679 Speaker 4: our task is to confront and challenge those poisonous ideas 1992 01:52:35,960 --> 01:52:38,640 Speaker 4: at every turn to prevent them from taking America to 1993 01:52:38,720 --> 01:52:42,960 Speaker 4: a very dark place. Join us not to cancel, but 1994 01:52:43,240 --> 01:52:47,879 Speaker 4: to guide, challenge, and strengthen the conversation, and be confident 1995 01:52:47,960 --> 01:52:50,639 Speaker 4: as I am, that our best ideas at the heart 1996 01:52:50,720 --> 01:52:54,800 Speaker 4: of Western civilization will prevail. For those, especially young men, 1997 01:52:54,880 --> 01:52:59,000 Speaker 4: who are enticed by Fuentes and his acolytes online, there 1998 01:52:59,200 --> 01:53:03,280 Speaker 4: is a better way way. Roberts has repeatedly said that 1999 01:53:03,360 --> 01:53:08,320 Speaker 4: attempting to cancel Fwenttes would only grow his audience, as 2000 01:53:08,360 --> 01:53:11,240 Speaker 4: opposed to whatever Roberts is doing by playing foot seaes 2001 01:53:11,320 --> 01:53:14,080 Speaker 4: with Tucker and Fuentes, resulting in multiple news stories a 2002 01:53:14,160 --> 01:53:18,639 Speaker 4: day name dropping Fwenttes and massively raising his public profile. 2003 01:53:19,040 --> 01:53:21,519 Speaker 13: It would not invite him to a heritage event or 2004 01:53:21,600 --> 01:53:24,080 Speaker 13: to my show. But the point is we have to 2005 01:53:24,200 --> 01:53:28,000 Speaker 13: find other avenues to engage the ridiculous ideas that he's saying, 2006 01:53:28,439 --> 01:53:32,000 Speaker 13: rather than, as many people have called for online, that 2007 01:53:32,160 --> 01:53:34,400 Speaker 13: you can just shun him, that you can just ignore him, 2008 01:53:34,439 --> 01:53:37,519 Speaker 13: and that the problem goes away. My motivation for posting 2009 01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:41,200 Speaker 13: that video yesterday, especially looking ahead towards twenty twenty six 2010 01:53:41,280 --> 01:53:44,240 Speaker 13: and twenty twenty eight, is that we have to engage 2011 01:53:44,280 --> 01:53:46,479 Speaker 13: those issues if we want to build a movement. I 2012 01:53:46,640 --> 01:53:50,160 Speaker 13: understand that, particularly for our Jewish friends who ought to 2013 01:53:50,240 --> 01:53:53,880 Speaker 13: be upset about Twintest's comments about anti Semitism, that he's 2014 01:53:54,040 --> 01:53:55,040 Speaker 13: just anathema. 2015 01:53:55,320 --> 01:53:56,439 Speaker 3: I agree with that as well. 2016 01:53:56,560 --> 01:53:58,960 Speaker 13: But if we're going to actually correct the scourge of 2017 01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:03,599 Speaker 13: anti Semitism, we've got to go convince those unfortunately millions 2018 01:54:03,680 --> 01:54:06,400 Speaker 13: of young men who find that appealing. I do believe 2019 01:54:06,439 --> 01:54:09,519 Speaker 13: that they're convincible. I believe that people like you, hopefully 2020 01:54:09,560 --> 01:54:12,120 Speaker 13: people like us at Heritage, and even people like Tucker 2021 01:54:12,479 --> 01:54:13,760 Speaker 13: might be able to play a role in that. 2022 01:54:14,479 --> 01:54:18,360 Speaker 4: Following backlash to Kevin Roberts's initial statement, Roberts chief of 2023 01:54:18,439 --> 01:54:22,880 Speaker 4: staff Ryan Neuhause resigned from Heritage after being reassigned as 2024 01:54:22,960 --> 01:54:25,920 Speaker 4: a senior advisor in housing policy, a position sources told 2025 01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:29,440 Speaker 4: New York Post was the quote unquote Siberia of Heritage. 2026 01:54:30,200 --> 01:54:36,160 Speaker 4: Before resigning, Newhouse reposted messages defending Robert's video, including a 2027 01:54:36,360 --> 01:54:41,080 Speaker 4: post advocating that quote unquote virtue signaling employees at the 2028 01:54:41,120 --> 01:54:46,320 Speaker 4: Heritage Foundation should resign if they're so outraged by Robert's statement. 2029 01:54:46,840 --> 01:54:51,400 Speaker 4: During Halloween weekend, lawyer Mark Goldfetter resigned from the Heritage 2030 01:54:51,400 --> 01:54:55,440 Speaker 4: affiliated National Task Force to Combat Anti Semitism, writing on 2031 01:54:55,800 --> 01:54:58,800 Speaker 4: X the Everything app I cannot serve under someone who 2032 01:54:58,920 --> 01:55:03,400 Speaker 4: thinks Nazis are worth debating. On November one, Princeton University 2033 01:55:03,400 --> 01:55:07,280 Speaker 4: professor Robert P. George, member of the Heritage Board of Trustees, 2034 01:55:08,040 --> 01:55:10,520 Speaker 4: who allegedly has been attempting to oust Roberts as the 2035 01:55:10,560 --> 01:55:12,440 Speaker 4: head of the foundation. In the wake of this controversy, 2036 01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:16,960 Speaker 4: posted on x the Everything app quote American conservatism today 2037 01:55:17,040 --> 01:55:20,120 Speaker 4: faces a challenge. That challenge comes from those who reject 2038 01:55:20,120 --> 01:55:23,800 Speaker 4: our commitment to inherent an equal human dignity. They are 2039 01:55:23,880 --> 01:55:28,200 Speaker 4: seeking acceptance in the conservative movement and its institutions, and 2040 01:55:28,360 --> 01:55:31,280 Speaker 4: they do so with the ultimate objective of transforming them 2041 01:55:31,360 --> 01:55:35,400 Speaker 4: by undermining that commitment. I cannot accept the idea that 2042 01:55:35,520 --> 01:55:39,680 Speaker 4: we have no enemies to the right. The white supremacists, 2043 01:55:39,840 --> 01:55:44,560 Speaker 4: anti semites, the eugenicists, bigots must not be welcome into 2044 01:55:44,680 --> 01:55:48,520 Speaker 4: our movement or treated as normal or acceptable. 2045 01:55:48,840 --> 01:55:51,920 Speaker 3: Unquote. You sure about that, Robert P. 2046 01:55:52,160 --> 01:55:58,200 Speaker 4: George, This Conservative commitment to inherent and equal human. 2047 01:55:58,040 --> 01:56:01,280 Speaker 3: Dignity, you share about this? You sure about that? 2048 01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:05,800 Speaker 4: Surely the American Conservatives aren't restricting people's health care and 2049 01:56:05,960 --> 01:56:09,720 Speaker 4: pushing them off food stamps, and kidnapping and uprooting families 2050 01:56:09,760 --> 01:56:12,880 Speaker 4: and sending them to far off countries. Seems like all 2051 01:56:12,960 --> 01:56:17,839 Speaker 4: those things would breach this commitment to inherent andy equal 2052 01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:22,000 Speaker 4: human dignity. I never thought the leopards would eat my face, 2053 01:56:22,400 --> 01:56:26,480 Speaker 4: sobs Heritage Board of Trustees member who voted for the 2054 01:56:27,000 --> 01:56:31,760 Speaker 4: leopards eating people's faces party, We'll be right back after 2055 01:56:31,960 --> 01:56:47,680 Speaker 4: these ads. The conservative in fighting intensified went On November three, 2056 01:56:47,800 --> 01:56:52,959 Speaker 4: Monday morning, Ben Shapiro released a forty minute video captioned, 2057 01:56:53,560 --> 01:56:56,080 Speaker 4: no to the gropers, No to cowards like a Tucker 2058 01:56:56,120 --> 01:56:59,640 Speaker 4: Carlson who normalized their trash, No to those who championed them, 2059 01:56:59,680 --> 01:57:03,320 Speaker 4: noted demoralization, note a bigger tree and anti meritocratic horseshit. 2060 01:57:03,760 --> 01:57:05,160 Speaker 4: No to anti Americanism. 2061 01:57:05,680 --> 01:57:09,560 Speaker 14: No, that fragmentation is being caused purposefully by a splinter 2062 01:57:09,720 --> 01:57:12,200 Speaker 14: faction of people led by a young man named Nick Flintes. 2063 01:57:12,560 --> 01:57:15,360 Speaker 14: They call themselves the Groupers. They are white supremacists. They 2064 01:57:15,360 --> 01:57:19,000 Speaker 14: hate women, Jews, Hindus, many types of Christians, brown, people 2065 01:57:19,040 --> 01:57:22,160 Speaker 14: of a wide variety of backgrounds, Blacks, America's foreign policy, 2066 01:57:22,200 --> 01:57:26,240 Speaker 14: and America's constitution. They admire Hitler and Stalin, and that 2067 01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:29,600 Speaker 14: splinter faction is now being facilitated and normalized within the 2068 01:57:29,720 --> 01:57:34,000 Speaker 14: mainstream Republican Party. The main agent in that normalization is 2069 01:57:34,080 --> 01:57:37,960 Speaker 14: Tucker Carlson, who is an intellectual coward, a dishonest interlocutor, 2070 01:57:38,280 --> 01:57:42,240 Speaker 14: and a terrible friend. And Tucker Carlson last week was aided, 2071 01:57:42,440 --> 01:57:46,080 Speaker 14: a betted, celebrated for normalizing Nazism within the Republican Party 2072 01:57:46,240 --> 01:57:49,839 Speaker 14: by the mainstay organization of the traditional right, the Heritage Foundation. 2073 01:57:50,440 --> 01:57:54,600 Speaker 4: Shapiro then had to preface his comments by saying, quote, 2074 01:57:54,760 --> 01:57:58,560 Speaker 4: this is not about free speech or cancellation end quote. 2075 01:57:58,760 --> 01:58:01,280 Speaker 4: Criticisms of bad speech is in fact just a form 2076 01:58:01,320 --> 01:58:04,960 Speaker 4: of free speechuote and went on this lengthy diet tribe 2077 01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:09,200 Speaker 4: to explain how what he's doing isn't cancelation, which Ben 2078 01:58:09,320 --> 01:58:13,920 Speaker 4: defined as banning people from the social media and publishing platforms. 2079 01:58:14,200 --> 01:58:17,720 Speaker 4: What would be more accurately described as deplatforming, as opposed 2080 01:58:17,760 --> 01:58:21,400 Speaker 4: to like social cancelation, which is not something that Ben 2081 01:58:21,560 --> 01:58:24,240 Speaker 4: is calling for. That is not calling for deplatforming. 2082 01:58:24,520 --> 01:58:28,240 Speaker 14: It is not cancelation to draw moral lines between viewpoints. 2083 01:58:28,440 --> 01:58:30,360 Speaker 14: In fact, we used to call that one of the 2084 01:58:30,440 --> 01:58:34,120 Speaker 14: key aspects of conservatism. It is not cancelation to refuse 2085 01:58:34,200 --> 01:58:37,280 Speaker 14: to signal boost Hitler supporters like Nick Flentes. It is 2086 01:58:37,360 --> 01:58:41,120 Speaker 14: not cancelation to criticize Tucker Carlson for rhetorically fluffing Nick 2087 01:58:41,160 --> 01:58:44,840 Speaker 14: Flentes and other anti American crackpots. It's not cancelation if 2088 01:58:44,880 --> 01:58:47,640 Speaker 14: you urge others to stop promoting those who rhetorically fluff 2089 01:58:47,800 --> 01:58:52,080 Speaker 14: Nazi apologists. Those are all elements of free speech, and 2090 01:58:52,160 --> 01:58:54,880 Speaker 14: anyone who says differently is lying to you, and lying 2091 01:58:54,960 --> 01:58:58,040 Speaker 14: for the most cynical reasons to misdirect from their own 2092 01:58:58,080 --> 01:59:01,360 Speaker 14: defense of those Nazi apologists and their promoters. The issue 2093 01:59:01,400 --> 01:59:03,880 Speaker 14: here isn't that Tucker Carlson had Nick Flints on his 2094 01:59:03,960 --> 01:59:05,600 Speaker 14: show last week. He has ever read to do that. 2095 01:59:05,680 --> 01:59:08,560 Speaker 14: Of course, The issue here is that Tucker Carlson decided 2096 01:59:08,720 --> 01:59:11,839 Speaker 14: to normalize and fluff Nick Flantes, and that the Heritage 2097 01:59:11,880 --> 01:59:15,640 Speaker 14: Foundation then decided to robustly defend that performance. Those who 2098 01:59:15,680 --> 01:59:19,320 Speaker 14: criticize both Tucker and Heritage aren't canceling. They are quite 2099 01:59:19,320 --> 01:59:23,080 Speaker 14: properly drawing a moral line. Now, from Tucker Carlson's interview, 2100 01:59:23,240 --> 01:59:25,880 Speaker 14: you might have gathered that Flintes has some borderline views 2101 01:59:25,960 --> 01:59:29,600 Speaker 14: on race, a peculiar obsession with what he calls organized jeury, 2102 01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:32,480 Speaker 14: and a rather sad relationship with the female sex. But 2103 01:59:32,840 --> 01:59:34,600 Speaker 14: probably you, Kim weigh thinking that for the most part, 2104 01:59:34,800 --> 01:59:38,360 Speaker 14: Flintes lives on the radical edge of normality. You think 2105 01:59:38,400 --> 01:59:41,120 Speaker 14: that if you watch the interview. Because Tucker Carlson decided 2106 01:59:41,280 --> 01:59:43,680 Speaker 14: that it was important not only to host Flintes, but 2107 01:59:43,800 --> 01:59:46,400 Speaker 14: to smooth over his views, water them down, and make 2108 01:59:46,480 --> 01:59:48,640 Speaker 14: them far more palatable to a normal audience. 2109 01:59:49,320 --> 01:59:53,480 Speaker 4: Ben proceeded to do a ten minute Nick Fuentes clip show, 2110 01:59:54,040 --> 01:59:56,879 Speaker 4: playing a slick collection of some of the most defensive 2111 01:59:56,920 --> 01:59:59,840 Speaker 4: things Nick has said to camera, and then blamed the 2112 02:00:00,160 --> 02:00:04,440 Speaker 4: Left for creating the conditions that let this hatred emerge, 2113 02:00:05,120 --> 02:00:09,560 Speaker 4: framing Fuentes as the dialectical inverse of the hyper woke, 2114 02:00:09,800 --> 02:00:10,840 Speaker 4: id pole Left. 2115 02:00:11,160 --> 02:00:12,600 Speaker 14: And there's no doubt that Nick fuant Has has a 2116 02:00:12,640 --> 02:00:14,960 Speaker 14: lot of play these days. That's because the Left, by 2117 02:00:15,040 --> 02:00:17,800 Speaker 14: moving into a politics of anti white, anti Christian, anti 2118 02:00:17,880 --> 02:00:22,520 Speaker 14: male identitarianism, created its bizarro mirror image, a white, pseudo 2119 02:00:22,600 --> 02:00:26,800 Speaker 14: Christian in cell identitarian movement dedicated to destroying the institutions 2120 02:00:26,880 --> 02:00:30,880 Speaker 14: of this country and replacing Americanism with something else. Nick 2121 02:00:30,920 --> 02:00:33,920 Speaker 14: Flint's philosophy is not fully formed. It's an incoherent stew 2122 02:00:33,960 --> 02:00:34,560 Speaker 14: of malignity. 2123 02:00:35,240 --> 02:00:38,600 Speaker 4: The left did not create Nick Fuentes. He is the 2124 02:00:38,800 --> 02:00:43,320 Speaker 4: direct product of the right wing content ecosystem that Shapiro 2125 02:00:43,600 --> 02:00:49,080 Speaker 4: himself trailblazed. It's Ben Shapiro, but taken even further with 2126 02:00:49,280 --> 02:00:54,440 Speaker 4: post ironic gen Z brainwrot. Even if Fuentes himself has 2127 02:00:54,520 --> 02:00:58,200 Speaker 4: been banned from many of the big tent conservative events, 2128 02:00:58,640 --> 02:01:02,480 Speaker 4: his idea is still festered, spread under the radar, and 2129 02:01:02,760 --> 02:01:07,160 Speaker 4: influenced the further radicalization of other right wing commentators so 2130 02:01:07,240 --> 02:01:10,960 Speaker 4: that they could better compete with Fuentes. Tucker himself was 2131 02:01:11,000 --> 02:01:14,840 Speaker 4: a part of this. The twenty nineteen quote unquote Groper War, 2132 02:01:15,560 --> 02:01:18,680 Speaker 4: in which Nick Fuentes deployed his fans to disrupt turning 2133 02:01:18,760 --> 02:01:22,360 Speaker 4: Point usa Q and A events with leading questions, pressured 2134 02:01:22,600 --> 02:01:26,120 Speaker 4: Charlie Kirk to adopt viewpoints further and further to the right, 2135 02:01:26,640 --> 02:01:30,960 Speaker 4: specifically on race and immigration and now the White Great 2136 02:01:31,040 --> 02:01:36,520 Speaker 4: replacement is basically a mainstream conservative viewpoint, and Fuentes played 2137 02:01:36,560 --> 02:01:40,880 Speaker 4: a huge part in that. This is in fact your problem, Ben. 2138 02:01:42,080 --> 02:01:45,080 Speaker 4: For the rest of this forty minute video, Shapiro directed 2139 02:01:45,120 --> 02:01:49,040 Speaker 4: his attention to Tucker Carlson, criticizing his defense of Russia 2140 02:01:49,160 --> 02:01:54,600 Speaker 4: and multi polar views. Tucker's pro dictator comments, populist criticism 2141 02:01:54,640 --> 02:02:00,360 Speaker 4: of Trump, and sort of dodgy anti Israel statements. Shapiro 2142 02:02:00,560 --> 02:02:03,600 Speaker 4: highlighted comments Tucker made during the Fuentez interview where he 2143 02:02:03,760 --> 02:02:08,000 Speaker 4: lampooned high profile Republicans and neocons who have been quote 2144 02:02:08,040 --> 02:02:12,800 Speaker 4: unquote seized by the pro Israel quote unquote brain virus, 2145 02:02:13,320 --> 02:02:17,960 Speaker 4: with Tucker claiming that he dislikes Christian Zionists quote more 2146 02:02:18,080 --> 02:02:24,320 Speaker 4: than anybody unquote because it's Christian heresy. Shapiro described the 2147 02:02:24,440 --> 02:02:29,080 Speaker 4: function of Tucker's current online platform as a safe space 2148 02:02:29,240 --> 02:02:34,080 Speaker 4: to bring on conspiracy theorists, fringe figures, alternative historians, and 2149 02:02:34,360 --> 02:02:38,680 Speaker 4: those just outside the overt window to then quote unquote 2150 02:02:38,920 --> 02:02:42,280 Speaker 4: gloss them. As Shapiro says, it's not about building a 2151 02:02:42,400 --> 02:02:45,960 Speaker 4: radicalization pipeline out of the mainstream, but bringing the actual 2152 02:02:46,120 --> 02:02:48,720 Speaker 4: radical ideas to the mainstream. 2153 02:02:49,360 --> 02:02:53,920 Speaker 14: Tucker Carlson act as an ideological launderer for other people's evils. 2154 02:02:54,400 --> 02:02:58,240 Speaker 14: Tucker Carlson says many inflammatory things, always buying back just 2155 02:02:58,480 --> 02:03:00,360 Speaker 14: enough of it to appear as though he's not saying 2156 02:03:00,440 --> 02:03:03,080 Speaker 14: what he's clearly saying. He's a master of gas lighting. 2157 02:03:03,400 --> 02:03:05,880 Speaker 14: Tucker Carlson, for example, would never say out loud what 2158 02:03:06,040 --> 02:03:08,360 Speaker 14: Nick Flintes does. He wouldn't say the things many of 2159 02:03:08,440 --> 02:03:11,160 Speaker 14: his guests say, and so instead he acts as an 2160 02:03:11,160 --> 02:03:15,320 Speaker 14: ideological launderer. He takes other people's hideous ideas, he softens them, 2161 02:03:15,520 --> 02:03:17,600 Speaker 14: he treats them with love and care, and then he 2162 02:03:17,640 --> 02:03:20,600 Speaker 14: provides them with a massive signal boost. He isn't merely 2163 02:03:20,640 --> 02:03:22,640 Speaker 14: talking to people in good faith, of course, He's promoting 2164 02:03:22,680 --> 02:03:24,960 Speaker 14: certain people and ideas and attacking others. This is how 2165 02:03:25,040 --> 02:03:28,600 Speaker 14: Tucker Carlson's ideological laundering works. You bring your dirty, ugly 2166 02:03:28,640 --> 02:03:31,840 Speaker 14: ideologies to Tucker Carlson's rhetorical car wash. He mixes it 2167 02:03:31,920 --> 02:03:34,440 Speaker 14: with some of the fstigial respect Americans have for him 2168 02:03:34,480 --> 02:03:37,920 Speaker 14: from his Fox News days, and voila, hideous ideas suddenly 2169 02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:41,400 Speaker 14: become mainstream. And then, of course Tucker denies he said 2170 02:03:41,440 --> 02:03:44,280 Speaker 14: anything controversial at all. He was just asking questions, He 2171 02:03:44,440 --> 02:03:46,800 Speaker 14: was just interviewing people. You don't want him to cancel people, 2172 02:03:46,840 --> 02:03:47,040 Speaker 14: do you. 2173 02:03:47,600 --> 02:03:52,120 Speaker 4: Ben continued to complain about Tucker platforming Candace Owentz and 2174 02:03:52,200 --> 02:03:57,040 Speaker 4: her increasingly anti Semitic conspiracy theorists. Except remember it was 2175 02:03:57,320 --> 02:04:01,600 Speaker 4: your company that gave Candace a huge, huge platform after 2176 02:04:01,680 --> 02:04:05,000 Speaker 4: she left turning point end Prager you is she also 2177 02:04:05,240 --> 02:04:09,919 Speaker 4: a consequence of the woke left, like Fuentes is Shapiro. 2178 02:04:10,080 --> 02:04:13,440 Speaker 4: The call is coming from inside your own company to 2179 02:04:13,600 --> 02:04:17,400 Speaker 4: further demonstrate how much of this stuff is downstream from Shapiro. 2180 02:04:18,000 --> 02:04:22,040 Speaker 4: It's actually because of Candace that Fuentes even went on 2181 02:04:22,280 --> 02:04:26,600 Speaker 4: Tucker's show at all. Candace had Fuentes on her show 2182 02:04:26,800 --> 02:04:30,280 Speaker 4: a few months prior, and when she went on Tucker's show, 2183 02:04:30,400 --> 02:04:34,000 Speaker 4: she told him how great Fuentes is and argued in 2184 02:04:34,080 --> 02:04:38,839 Speaker 4: his defense. As for Heritage, Ben acknowledged his long standing 2185 02:04:39,040 --> 02:04:42,240 Speaker 4: positive relationship with the Heritage Foundation, working with him since 2186 02:04:42,320 --> 02:04:46,080 Speaker 4: he was just seventeen years old, and recently had Kevin 2187 02:04:46,160 --> 02:04:49,280 Speaker 4: Roberts on his show to promote Roberts's latest book. 2188 02:04:49,720 --> 02:04:52,160 Speaker 14: Which is why what Kevin Roberts did last week is 2189 02:04:52,320 --> 02:04:55,400 Speaker 14: tragic and awful. He put out a statement the Heritage 2190 02:04:55,440 --> 02:04:59,000 Speaker 14: Foundation didn't just stand by Tucker Carlson. Kevin instead said 2191 02:04:59,080 --> 02:05:03,280 Speaker 14: openly and repeat that Tucker Carlson can do nothing ever 2192 02:05:03,720 --> 02:05:06,840 Speaker 14: that will sever his relationship with the conservative movement. He 2193 02:05:06,960 --> 02:05:10,880 Speaker 14: said that after an in defense of Tucker's glossing of 2194 02:05:10,960 --> 02:05:14,480 Speaker 14: Hitler defender Nick Flentes, and he added that only members 2195 02:05:14,520 --> 02:05:18,400 Speaker 14: of the globalist class direct quote a venomous coalition direct 2196 02:05:18,440 --> 02:05:22,320 Speaker 14: quote subject to the dictates of someone else's agenda direct quote, 2197 02:05:22,520 --> 02:05:26,720 Speaker 14: oppose Heritage's ongoing relationship with Tucker Carlson, which means that, 2198 02:05:26,760 --> 02:05:30,880 Speaker 14: according to Kevin Roberts, apparently anyone opposing the ongoing mainstreaming 2199 02:05:30,920 --> 02:05:33,760 Speaker 14: of Tucker Carlson is acting on behalf of a foreign power. 2200 02:05:34,680 --> 02:05:37,480 Speaker 14: Kevin's statement is a betrayal of the Heritage Foundation's history 2201 02:05:37,520 --> 02:05:40,800 Speaker 14: and principles, which is presumably by both Tucker Carlson and 2202 02:05:41,040 --> 02:05:42,080 Speaker 14: Nick Foin, says loved It. 2203 02:05:42,560 --> 02:05:46,600 Speaker 4: Shapiro still expressed the need for an organization like Heritage 2204 02:05:46,640 --> 02:05:50,320 Speaker 4: that focuses on ideas to over personal loyalty to grifters, 2205 02:05:50,840 --> 02:05:54,280 Speaker 4: and expressed hope that Heritage could recover from this controversy 2206 02:05:54,640 --> 02:05:57,600 Speaker 4: and speak out against the quote unquote moral rot that 2207 02:05:57,800 --> 02:06:01,520 Speaker 4: threatens our future. But if no, Conservatives may need to 2208 02:06:01,600 --> 02:06:05,560 Speaker 4: look for leadership elsewhere. And the cause of this moral 2209 02:06:05,760 --> 02:06:10,880 Speaker 4: rot political horseshoe theory that is destroying both parties, with 2210 02:06:11,160 --> 02:06:14,440 Speaker 4: the GOP being eaten by radicals. 2211 02:06:14,240 --> 02:06:16,680 Speaker 14: Like the Democratic Party, the Republican Party is being eaten 2212 02:06:16,920 --> 02:06:19,880 Speaker 14: by its radicals. Many in the political class are too 2213 02:06:19,920 --> 02:06:22,320 Speaker 14: cowardly to stand up. Apparently they're willing to play footsie 2214 02:06:22,360 --> 02:06:24,760 Speaker 14: with Grouper's and hug Tucker Carlson out of fear of 2215 02:06:24,840 --> 02:06:28,120 Speaker 14: somehow losing support. They've been bamboozled by the lies of 2216 02:06:28,160 --> 02:06:31,920 Speaker 14: the ex algorithm and the TikTok metrics. The left followed 2217 02:06:31,960 --> 02:06:34,920 Speaker 14: its radicals to electoral hell. Apparently many on the right 2218 02:06:35,000 --> 02:06:37,920 Speaker 14: wish to do the same. Forget the morality, then, for 2219 02:06:38,120 --> 02:06:40,480 Speaker 14: just a moment, let's be pragmatic. Here is the thing. 2220 02:06:41,040 --> 02:06:45,880 Speaker 14: Americans hate Nick Flents' philosophy. They think it's trash. Republicans, 2221 02:06:46,000 --> 02:06:49,280 Speaker 14: by the polling, think it's trash. Independence think it's trash. 2222 02:06:49,480 --> 02:06:53,480 Speaker 14: Democrats think it's trash. And here's the other thing. Americans 2223 02:06:53,680 --> 02:06:57,960 Speaker 14: hate Tucker Carlson's wandered anti americanism. Republicans think it's trash, 2224 02:06:58,120 --> 02:07:01,880 Speaker 14: Independents think it's trash, Democrats think it trash. Americans are 2225 02:07:01,960 --> 02:07:06,280 Speaker 14: not pro segregation, pro rape, anti woman, pro child marriage, 2226 02:07:06,360 --> 02:07:10,000 Speaker 14: anti black, anti Jew, anti Indian, anti Latino, anti constitution, 2227 02:07:10,120 --> 02:07:12,080 Speaker 14: pro hitler nut jobs like Nickquantas. 2228 02:07:12,360 --> 02:07:14,040 Speaker 4: You might want to tell that to I don't know, 2229 02:07:14,280 --> 02:07:19,400 Speaker 4: Stephen Miller, Ben and like maybe half your employees Here's 2230 02:07:19,640 --> 02:07:24,520 Speaker 4: Matt Walsh's own description for his most recent Daily Wire 2231 02:07:24,760 --> 02:07:29,880 Speaker 4: podcast episode, quote, Smali tribal conflict has made its way 2232 02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:34,440 Speaker 4: into multiple American states.

Neo Nazi and they're propagandizers are not Republicans. 2239 02:08:01,920 --> 02:08:04,720 Speaker 14: They're not America first, they're not Maga.

Right now, 2273 02:10:15,440 --> 02:10:16,120 Speaker 3: we're canceling it. 2274 02:10:21,200 --> 02:10:23,800 Speaker 15: They will have no future in my office, and I 2275 02:10:23,880 --> 02:10:26,240 Speaker 15: will be calling on all of my colleagues on the 2276 02:10:26,280 --> 02:10:34,160 Speaker 15: Republican side to do the same. If those who support 2277 02:10:34,200 --> 02:10:36,760 Speaker 15: Tucker Carlson want to see a venomous coalition. 2278 02:10:36,720 --> 02:10:39,440 Speaker 3: All they need to do is go look in the mirror. 2279 02:10:40,240 --> 02:10:43,560 Speaker 4: During that same speech, he boasted about. 2280 02:10:43,360 --> 02:10:52,000 Speaker 15: This, I've called for Zilron Mndami to be deported. The 2281 02:10:52,120 --> 02:10:55,040 Speaker 15: only thing I want to see him running for is 2282 02:10:55,160 --> 02:10:59,200 Speaker 15: his gate at JFK on the deportation flight to Uganda. 2283 02:11:00,400 --> 02:11:04,040 Speaker 4: First they came for the communists, Randy. I never thought 2284 02:11:04,080 --> 02:11:07,440 Speaker 4: the leopards would eat my face, sobs Florida congressman with 2285 02:11:07,560 --> 02:11:12,200 Speaker 4: Twitter pronouns listed as Hebrew slash hammer, who's a member 2286 02:11:12,440 --> 02:11:16,839 Speaker 4: of the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party. During the opening 2287 02:11:17,080 --> 02:11:21,600 Speaker 4: to the Republican Jewish Coalition event. Ted Cruz addressed this 2288 02:11:21,800 --> 02:11:25,200 Speaker 4: moment of fracture within the establishment right as a quote 2289 02:11:25,240 --> 02:11:29,160 Speaker 4: unquote time of choosing, and said that in the past 2290 02:11:29,280 --> 02:11:32,880 Speaker 4: six months he's quote seen more anti Semitism on the 2291 02:11:33,040 --> 02:11:36,760 Speaker 4: right than I had in my entire life. This is 2292 02:11:36,840 --> 02:11:39,760 Speaker 4: a poison, and I believe we are facing an existential 2293 02:11:39,840 --> 02:11:44,960 Speaker 4: crisis in our party and our country unquote. Cruz later 2294 02:11:45,080 --> 02:11:49,000 Speaker 4: shared a Free Press article on his comments. The CEO 2295 02:11:49,120 --> 02:11:52,640 Speaker 4: of the Republican Jewish Coalition, Matt Brooks, pulled Jewish Insider 2296 02:11:52,720 --> 02:11:55,840 Speaker 4: that he is quote appalled, offended, and disgusted that Kevin 2297 02:11:55,920 --> 02:11:58,760 Speaker 4: Roberts in Heritage would stand with Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, 2298 02:11:59,200 --> 02:12:02,280 Speaker 4: that there would be a quotquote reassessment of our relationship 2299 02:12:02,320 --> 02:12:07,080 Speaker 4: with Heritage in light of this, unquote. On November third, 2300 02:12:07,160 --> 02:12:11,400 Speaker 4: Missouri Senator and J six's supporter Josh Hawley denounced Fuentes's 2301 02:12:11,480 --> 02:12:14,800 Speaker 4: rhetoric as anti Semitic, telling Jewish Insider quote, that's not 2302 02:12:15,000 --> 02:12:19,000 Speaker 4: who we are as Republicans, as conservatives. The question for 2303 02:12:19,120 --> 02:12:22,400 Speaker 4: us as conservatives is are those views going to define 2304 02:12:22,400 --> 02:12:25,040 Speaker 4: who we are? I think we need to say no. 2305 02:12:25,720 --> 02:12:28,760 Speaker 4: As a conservative, but also as a Christian, there is 2306 02:12:28,840 --> 02:12:32,400 Speaker 4: no place for anti Semitic hatred, tropes, any of that stuff. 2307 02:12:33,160 --> 02:12:35,040 Speaker 4: Do we really want to be a part of what 2308 02:12:35,400 --> 02:12:38,200 Speaker 4: we've seen happen on college campuses? 2309 02:12:39,160 --> 02:12:39,760 Speaker 3: Unquote. 2310 02:12:40,480 --> 02:12:43,960 Speaker 4: Senator James Langford of Oklahoma, the co chair of the 2311 02:12:44,040 --> 02:12:47,200 Speaker 4: Senate Anti Semitism Task Force, told a Jewish Insider that 2312 02:12:47,360 --> 02:12:51,280 Speaker 4: he was to quote a little surprised that Heritage jumped 2313 02:12:51,320 --> 02:12:54,320 Speaker 4: out in support of Carlson and Nickfuentes to say, hey, 2314 02:12:54,840 --> 02:12:57,840 Speaker 4: we want them in our camp after the statements that 2315 02:12:57,920 --> 02:13:00,960 Speaker 4: were made. Heritage could have just sat back and not 2316 02:13:01,080 --> 02:13:04,320 Speaker 4: said anything, but instead they chose to jump out on 2317 02:13:04,400 --> 02:13:05,000 Speaker 4: their side. 2318 02:13:05,600 --> 02:13:06,280 Speaker 3: I don't get that. 2319 02:13:07,000 --> 02:13:07,480 Speaker 5: Unquote. 2320 02:13:08,320 --> 02:13:11,960 Speaker 4: Like Ben Shapiro and Josh Holly, James Langford related this 2321 02:13:12,120 --> 02:13:16,800 Speaker 4: to a perceived by partisan crisis. Quote, the left has 2322 02:13:16,840 --> 02:13:20,080 Speaker 4: seen an implosion of their party based on anti Semitism 2323 02:13:20,240 --> 02:13:22,840 Speaker 4: rising in their party. I don't want to see the 2324 02:13:22,960 --> 02:13:26,120 Speaker 4: same thing happen on the right. What I've tried to 2325 02:13:26,200 --> 02:13:29,040 Speaker 4: be very clear on is that the new right is 2326 02:13:29,160 --> 02:13:33,320 Speaker 4: now quoting an old wrong unquote. Senator Rick Scott of 2327 02:13:33,320 --> 02:13:36,800 Speaker 4: Florida basically said the same thing. Quote the Democrat Party, 2328 02:13:37,040 --> 02:13:39,680 Speaker 4: we already have a party that's for anti Semitism and 2329 02:13:39,840 --> 02:13:43,080 Speaker 4: is against Israel. The Republican Party is going to stand 2330 02:13:43,160 --> 02:13:45,560 Speaker 4: for Israel and we're going to stand against anti Semitism. 2331 02:13:45,600 --> 02:13:49,120 Speaker 4: I don't think there's any question, unquote, as if the 2332 02:13:49,200 --> 02:13:55,120 Speaker 4: Democrat Party is against Israel. And it's astonishing to watch 2333 02:13:55,280 --> 02:13:58,680 Speaker 4: all of these senators cope with the results of years 2334 02:13:58,760 --> 02:14:02,080 Speaker 4: of watering down akas and anti Semitism to simply reflect 2335 02:14:02,400 --> 02:14:06,800 Speaker 4: any criticism of Israel as they're now facing of massive 2336 02:14:06,920 --> 02:14:11,839 Speaker 4: resurgence of genuine anti semitism from known anti Semitic actors 2337 02:14:12,040 --> 02:14:14,800 Speaker 4: on the right. Turns out it's way easier to police 2338 02:14:15,160 --> 02:14:18,920 Speaker 4: campus anti genocide protests than deal with the anti semitism 2339 02:14:19,040 --> 02:14:23,720 Speaker 4: spread on the massive platforms of Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson. 2340 02:14:24,480 --> 02:14:28,600 Speaker 4: But not all senators are worried. Lindsey Graham, while speaking 2341 02:14:28,720 --> 02:14:32,960 Speaker 4: at the Republican Jewish Coalition, was less worried about Tucker 2342 02:14:33,080 --> 02:14:35,600 Speaker 4: Fuentes and the future of the party. 2343 02:14:36,360 --> 02:14:38,360 Speaker 7: So I just want to say I feel good about 2344 02:14:38,400 --> 02:14:41,680 Speaker 7: the Republican Party. I feel good about where we're going 2345 02:14:41,720 --> 02:14:44,400 Speaker 7: as a nation. We're killing all the right people, and 2346 02:14:44,440 --> 02:14:53,480 Speaker 7: we're cutting your taxes. Trump is my favorite president. We've 2347 02:14:53,560 --> 02:14:55,720 Speaker 7: run out of bombs. We didn't run out of bombs 2348 02:14:55,760 --> 02:14:56,520 Speaker 7: in World War Two. 2349 02:14:58,480 --> 02:15:00,600 Speaker 3: So to those who worry about. 2350 02:15:00,440 --> 02:15:06,680 Speaker 7: These stupid interviews and far off places, don't worry. The 2351 02:15:06,840 --> 02:15:09,160 Speaker 7: Republican Party has figured it out. 2352 02:15:09,280 --> 02:15:10,520 Speaker 5: When it comes to Israel. 2353 02:15:11,320 --> 02:15:15,200 Speaker 4: We're killing all the right people here at the Leopards 2354 02:15:15,360 --> 02:15:19,400 Speaker 4: eating people's faces party. Surely the leopards will never eat 2355 02:15:19,880 --> 02:15:24,440 Speaker 4: my or my friend's faces. On the night of November three, 2356 02:15:25,000 --> 02:15:28,480 Speaker 4: Heritage president Kevin Roberts give a speech at Hillsdale College 2357 02:15:28,960 --> 02:15:33,400 Speaker 4: on anti Semitism and cancel culture. He first talked for 2358 02:15:33,480 --> 02:15:36,600 Speaker 4: two minutes about why he and Heritage will continue to 2359 02:15:36,720 --> 02:15:41,800 Speaker 4: oppose cancelation and the importance of loyalty toward friends, and 2360 02:15:41,920 --> 02:15:44,840 Speaker 4: defend it his previous statement by reiterating that if you 2361 02:15:44,960 --> 02:15:48,919 Speaker 4: have a problem with someone's quote content, issues, or ideas, 2362 02:15:49,320 --> 02:15:52,720 Speaker 4: then by all means go debate them unquote. But then 2363 02:15:52,800 --> 02:15:55,839 Speaker 4: he admitted that his mistake, which was made quote unquote 2364 02:15:55,960 --> 02:15:59,880 Speaker 4: with the best intentions, was focusing on the legitimate pro 2365 02:16:00,000 --> 02:16:05,040 Speaker 4: problem of cancelation over other problems like anti Semitism. The 2366 02:16:05,160 --> 02:16:09,440 Speaker 4: Roberts then immediately justified his rhetoric as an attempt to 2367 02:16:09,560 --> 02:16:12,840 Speaker 4: reach out to the quote unquote several million young men 2368 02:16:13,040 --> 02:16:16,360 Speaker 4: on the quote unquote far fringes of the right who 2369 02:16:16,440 --> 02:16:19,280 Speaker 4: are increasingly anti Semitic, and. 2370 02:16:19,360 --> 02:16:23,280 Speaker 13: Our motivation at Heritage for making that statement was to 2371 02:16:23,360 --> 02:16:27,680 Speaker 13: begin appealing even more than we have to those largely 2372 02:16:27,800 --> 02:16:31,600 Speaker 13: disaffected young men who are looking for belonging and identity 2373 02:16:32,920 --> 02:16:34,240 Speaker 13: by following the wrong people. 2374 02:16:35,000 --> 02:16:38,640 Speaker 4: This pseudo apology continues to frame this primarily as an 2375 02:16:38,720 --> 02:16:44,359 Speaker 4: issue of cancelation. Who is asking to cancel Tucker? Roberts 2376 02:16:44,440 --> 02:16:47,680 Speaker 4: acts as if there is nothing in between a lifelong 2377 02:16:47,879 --> 02:16:53,279 Speaker 4: endorsement and total cancelation. After Robert's comments at Hillsdale College, 2378 02:16:53,400 --> 02:16:57,160 Speaker 4: another member of the Heritage Anti Semitism Task Force, Attorney 2379 02:16:57,440 --> 02:17:00,720 Speaker 4: Ian Spear, announced that he was leaving Hairge and Post 2380 02:17:00,800 --> 02:17:04,480 Speaker 4: in a statement calling Robert's Hillsdale College speech a quote 2381 02:17:04,720 --> 02:17:08,960 Speaker 4: strategic non apology that doubles down on loyalty to Tucker. Carlson, 2382 02:17:09,320 --> 02:17:13,039 Speaker 4: muses about welcoming gropers and the groper curious into the movement, 2383 02:17:13,480 --> 02:17:17,760 Speaker 4: and continues to gaslight everyone about cancelation when that clearly 2384 02:17:17,920 --> 02:17:23,440 Speaker 4: isn't the issue. That same day, Tuesday, November fourth, Chris Demuth, 2385 02:17:23,560 --> 02:17:28,240 Speaker 4: a Heritage Distinguished Fellow, also confirmed his resignation, and an 2386 02:17:28,280 --> 02:17:32,039 Speaker 4: email leaped from the co chairs of the Heritage affiliated 2387 02:17:32,560 --> 02:17:36,200 Speaker 4: National Task Force to Combat Antisemitism sent to task Force 2388 02:17:36,240 --> 02:17:39,240 Speaker 4: members with a list of demands the Heritage President Kevin 2389 02:17:39,320 --> 02:17:44,280 Speaker 4: Roberts demands including that he delete his initial video, apologize 2390 02:17:44,320 --> 02:17:47,480 Speaker 4: to Jews and Christians who quote believe that Israel has 2391 02:17:47,520 --> 02:17:50,440 Speaker 4: a special role to play both biblically and politically unquote, 2392 02:17:50,800 --> 02:17:55,160 Speaker 4: a demand to condemn but not cancel Tucker Carlson's anti 2393 02:17:55,240 --> 02:17:59,480 Speaker 4: Semitic content and statements, and host Shabbat dinners for the 2394 02:17:59,600 --> 02:18:04,240 Speaker 4: Heritage interns and junior staff. To quote directly from this 2395 02:18:04,400 --> 02:18:09,080 Speaker 4: leaked email addressing Roberts quote, you pointed out repeatedly that 2396 02:18:09,200 --> 02:18:12,720 Speaker 4: we face a challenge in reaching disenfranchised young men who 2397 02:18:12,760 --> 02:18:15,760 Speaker 4: are caught in the spells of Nick Fuentes and others. 2398 02:18:16,400 --> 02:18:20,360 Speaker 4: To address this issue, specifically, we recommend hiring a visiting fellow, 2399 02:18:20,800 --> 02:18:25,840 Speaker 4: one who shares mainstream conservative views on Israel, Jews, and 2400 02:18:26,000 --> 02:18:30,280 Speaker 4: Christian Zionists, who would help identify strategies and tools to 2401 02:18:30,440 --> 02:18:34,400 Speaker 4: win gen Z and beyond. It is clear that there 2402 02:18:34,480 --> 02:18:38,039 Speaker 4: is an internal battle within the conservative movement over who 2403 02:18:38,160 --> 02:18:41,720 Speaker 4: is to be included. The division between no Enemy to 2404 02:18:41,760 --> 02:18:46,800 Speaker 4: the right versus a moral conservatism demands our attention a 2405 02:18:46,959 --> 02:18:50,240 Speaker 4: conference that provides some guidelines to the movement on how 2406 02:18:50,280 --> 02:18:53,840 Speaker 4: to best keep unity without needing to include the worst 2407 02:18:53,920 --> 02:18:58,240 Speaker 4: among us unquote. Two days later, the National Task Force 2408 02:18:58,760 --> 02:19:01,880 Speaker 4: decided to break ties with the Heritage Foundation, writing in 2409 02:19:01,959 --> 02:19:04,560 Speaker 4: an email that it was quote important for us to 2410 02:19:04,680 --> 02:19:08,000 Speaker 4: continue the work of the Task Force outside the Heritage 2411 02:19:08,040 --> 02:19:13,400 Speaker 4: Foundation for a season, writing at this whole incident quote 2412 02:19:13,680 --> 02:19:17,280 Speaker 4: exposed a serious problem within the conservative movement. 2413 02:19:18,760 --> 02:19:21,560 Speaker 3: It's been like this for a long time. 2414 02:19:22,000 --> 02:19:26,200 Speaker 4: They've just been so focused on campus activists protesting the 2415 02:19:26,320 --> 02:19:31,160 Speaker 4: Palestinian genocide that they've missed the festering anti semitism spreading 2416 02:19:31,280 --> 02:19:32,200 Speaker 4: across the right. 2417 02:19:32,879 --> 02:19:33,240 Speaker 3: Quote. 2418 02:19:33,840 --> 02:19:37,279 Speaker 4: The National task Force to Combat Anti Semitism will also 2419 02:19:37,640 --> 02:19:41,160 Speaker 4: now expand our work to fight the rising scourge of 2420 02:19:41,200 --> 02:19:45,039 Speaker 4: anti Semitism on the right, beyond our previous work combating 2421 02:19:45,120 --> 02:19:47,520 Speaker 4: the pro Hamas movement on the left. 2422 02:19:48,120 --> 02:19:48,440 Speaker 2: Quote. 2423 02:19:49,160 --> 02:19:51,840 Speaker 4: On November eighteenth, the Task Force will be hosting a 2424 02:19:51,879 --> 02:19:56,000 Speaker 4: conference in Washington on quote exposing and countering extremism and 2425 02:19:56,040 --> 02:19:59,840 Speaker 4: antisemitism on the right, in partnership with the Conference of 2426 02:20:00,200 --> 02:20:04,600 Speaker 4: Christian Presidents for Israel.

During the all hands meeting, Roberts explained 2443 02:21:14,760 --> 02:21:17,640 Speaker 4: that the video came to be because Heritage was under 2444 02:21:17,720 --> 02:21:21,640 Speaker 4: pressure to make a statement that Carlson was quote no 2445 02:21:21,879 --> 02:21:26,160 Speaker 4: longer part of the conservative movement. Later in this meeting, 2446 02:21:26,360 --> 02:21:30,560 Speaker 4: Roberts acknowledged that there could be a quote limiting principle 2447 02:21:30,760 --> 02:21:36,600 Speaker 4: to no cancelation. Longtime Heritage Research fellow Robert Rector went 2448 02:21:36,760 --> 02:21:40,800 Speaker 4: on a tie rade against Tucker and Fuentes, likening Tucker's 2449 02:21:40,879 --> 02:21:44,760 Speaker 4: show to stepping into a lunatic asylum, and advocated for 2450 02:21:44,920 --> 02:21:47,960 Speaker 4: a return of right wing cancelation. 2451 02:21:48,320 --> 02:21:51,000 Speaker 16: Because if you don't have boundaries on who you regard 2452 02:21:51,120 --> 02:21:54,720 Speaker 16: inside the movement, the movement will destroy itself and it 2453 02:21:54,760 --> 02:21:58,120 Speaker 16: will create a pr nightmare for everybody in it. And 2454 02:21:58,200 --> 02:22:01,640 Speaker 16: the boundaries that he set forth William Buckley in the 2455 02:22:01,640 --> 02:22:06,040 Speaker 16: early nineteen sixties were twofold. You have to expunge all 2456 02:22:06,280 --> 02:22:07,840 Speaker 16: anti Semitism. 2457 02:22:07,600 --> 02:22:08,040 Speaker 3: All of it. 2458 02:22:08,520 --> 02:22:11,400 Speaker 16: But that's just part of it from the conservative movement. 2459 02:22:11,959 --> 02:22:16,279 Speaker 16: The other is you have to expel the lunatics, Okay, 2460 02:22:16,720 --> 02:22:20,760 Speaker 16: the lunatics who think that Eisenhower was a communist, Okay, 2461 02:22:21,160 --> 02:22:24,040 Speaker 16: and a whole bunch of and we have them back now. 2462 02:22:24,560 --> 02:22:24,840 Speaker 3: Okay. 2463 02:22:25,520 --> 02:22:28,640 Speaker 16: They are both here back just the way they were 2464 02:22:28,720 --> 02:22:32,080 Speaker 16: in nineteen fifty nine. And we have to go back 2465 02:22:32,160 --> 02:22:36,000 Speaker 16: and set the general parameters. You say, oh, we don't cancel, 2466 02:22:36,240 --> 02:22:39,720 Speaker 16: we do cancel. Did we cancel David Duke? Yes, you 2467 02:22:39,760 --> 02:22:41,920 Speaker 16: don't even know who David Duke was. Probably most of you. 2468 02:22:42,160 --> 02:22:47,080 Speaker 16: God's say, you know yes, do we cancel the John 2469 02:22:47,120 --> 02:22:51,960 Speaker 16: Bird Society, Yes, okay, because they were harmful. Because if 2470 02:22:51,959 --> 02:22:54,640 Speaker 16: you're they're in your movement, you look like clowns. 2471 02:22:55,400 --> 02:22:58,720 Speaker 4: This highlights so much of my frustration around this whole 2472 02:22:58,760 --> 02:23:01,680 Speaker 4: controversy with all of the Conservatives at the Leopards Eating 2473 02:23:01,720 --> 02:23:05,360 Speaker 4: People's Faces Party trying to say that obviously the leopards 2474 02:23:05,400 --> 02:23:07,880 Speaker 4: who are eating people's faces aren't actually Conservatives. 2475 02:23:08,120 --> 02:23:11,280 Speaker 3: Despite the being part of the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party, 2476 02:23:12,200 --> 02:23:16,600 Speaker 3: Bircherism has achieved a near total capture of the modern 2477 02:23:16,680 --> 02:23:20,840 Speaker 3: day Republican Party, especially under Trump. You can't remove the 2478 02:23:20,959 --> 02:23:24,160 Speaker 3: John Birch Society element from the modern day Republican Party 2479 02:23:24,200 --> 02:23:26,959 Speaker 3: without the whole party collapsing. They won. 2480 02:23:27,480 --> 02:23:31,880 Speaker 4: That's what the party is now. That's what Heritage's project 2481 02:23:32,000 --> 02:23:37,439 Speaker 4: twenty twenty five is. Kevin Roberts responded to Rector's tirade 2482 02:23:38,000 --> 02:23:41,560 Speaker 4: by continuing to advocate that Heritage should attempt to bring 2483 02:23:41,760 --> 02:23:45,320 Speaker 4: some of Fuentes's audience into the conservative fold. 2484 02:23:45,680 --> 02:23:48,160 Speaker 13: But there's a segment of that audience who might be 2485 02:23:48,280 --> 02:23:52,280 Speaker 13: with us, and they really are not Nazis and anti Semites, 2486 02:23:52,800 --> 02:23:55,600 Speaker 13: then maybe we can eventually bring them into the fold. 2487 02:23:55,640 --> 02:23:56,760 Speaker 5: I think we have to think that way. 2488 02:23:57,400 --> 02:24:00,000 Speaker 4: None of these people can be allowed to distance themselves 2489 02:24:00,400 --> 02:24:03,880 Speaker 4: from the leopards eating people's faces party, to quote a 2490 02:24:04,000 --> 02:24:07,879 Speaker 4: write up from the right wing rag National Review, quote, 2491 02:24:08,320 --> 02:24:12,039 Speaker 4: the Heritage staff meeting exposed something of a generational divide 2492 02:24:12,120 --> 02:24:15,400 Speaker 4: within Heritage, as one staffer, who claimed to represent the 2493 02:24:15,440 --> 02:24:19,120 Speaker 4: perspective of the foundation's younger employees, said that she did 2494 02:24:19,160 --> 02:24:21,600 Speaker 4: not have a problem with roberts initial defense of Carlson 2495 02:24:21,840 --> 02:24:24,600 Speaker 4: and wanted to make sure that the viewpoints of her generation, 2496 02:24:24,920 --> 02:24:28,440 Speaker 4: who she said were generally more critical of Israel, would 2497 02:24:28,440 --> 02:24:33,439 Speaker 4: still be welcome at Heritage.

I don't actually 2567 02:27:53,320 --> 02:27:55,320 Speaker 12: think about him ever. So I don't want to have 2568 02:27:55,400 --> 02:27:57,640 Speaker 12: a war with Ben and Shapiro.

In the midst of the Fuenes controversy, Walsh 2597 02:29:25,640 --> 02:29:29,040 Speaker 4: posted quote, we have a very short window of time 2598 02:29:29,160 --> 02:29:32,680 Speaker 4: where we control Congress and the White House, and we 2599 02:29:32,840 --> 02:29:36,039 Speaker 4: have the power to push our agenda forward. We're going 2600 02:29:36,120 --> 02:29:39,400 Speaker 4: to waste this window fighting with each other. We're going 2601 02:29:39,480 --> 02:29:44,440 Speaker 4: to squander everything. I'm furious, Honestly, I. 2602 02:29:44,520 --> 02:29:48,320 Speaker 6: Have just about had it with Matt Walsh. Matt, you 2603 02:29:48,520 --> 02:29:51,520 Speaker 6: work for this fucking guy. Whose side are you on? 2604 02:29:51,720 --> 02:29:55,240 Speaker 6: Already cut the shit, Matt Walsh. Every day on a show, 2605 02:29:55,360 --> 02:29:57,600 Speaker 6: he goes on Twitter in his show and says, this 2606 02:29:57,800 --> 02:30:01,240 Speaker 6: is all just gossip and drama, a gossip and drama. 2607 02:30:01,720 --> 02:30:02,600 Speaker 3: This is the war. 2608 02:30:03,080 --> 02:30:05,080 Speaker 6: Might not be the one you wanted, but this is 2609 02:30:05,120 --> 02:30:08,760 Speaker 6: the one that's going on. So Walsh wants to refuse 2610 02:30:08,840 --> 02:30:11,640 Speaker 6: himself from this and say, hey, man, I just care 2611 02:30:11,680 --> 02:30:15,560 Speaker 6: about America. Hey fucker, it's happening in America right now. 2612 02:30:16,440 --> 02:30:19,800 Speaker 6: Tucker's an American. Last I checked, this is going on here. 2613 02:30:20,200 --> 02:30:22,640 Speaker 6: We didn't make anti Semitism the wedge issue. 2614 02:30:22,959 --> 02:30:23,400 Speaker 3: They did. 2615 02:30:24,000 --> 02:30:27,360 Speaker 6: We didn't make fighting Israel's wars the wedge issue. 2616 02:30:27,680 --> 02:30:28,160 Speaker 3: They did. 2617 02:30:28,600 --> 02:30:30,800 Speaker 6: And Walsh wants to get on Twitter and say, I 2618 02:30:31,000 --> 02:30:32,960 Speaker 6: just don't want to talk about it. I just want 2619 02:30:33,000 --> 02:30:35,720 Speaker 6: to keep taking a paycheck from the worst of the worst. Shapiro, 2620 02:30:36,800 --> 02:30:39,440 Speaker 6: you gotta pick a side and nobody can let him 2621 02:30:39,480 --> 02:30:42,920 Speaker 6: get away with this. As long as you're America First, 2622 02:30:43,200 --> 02:30:46,320 Speaker 6: you need to be in his reply, saying no, Matt, 2623 02:30:47,520 --> 02:30:48,920 Speaker 6: you work for Ben Shapiro. 2624 02:30:49,360 --> 02:30:55,000 Speaker 4: Cock Vance's only statement about this debacle reads quote, the 2625 02:30:55,200 --> 02:30:59,600 Speaker 4: infighting is stupid. I care about my fellow citizens, particularly 2626 02:30:59,720 --> 02:31:03,480 Speaker 4: young Americans, being able to afford a decent life. I 2627 02:31:03,600 --> 02:31:07,000 Speaker 4: care about immigration and our sovereignty, and I care about 2628 02:31:07,080 --> 02:31:11,360 Speaker 4: establishing peace overseas so our resources can be focused at home. 2629 02:31:12,040 --> 02:31:15,160 Speaker 4: If you care about these things too, let's work together. 2630 02:31:16,959 --> 02:31:20,360 Speaker 4: Compare that to Mike Pence sharing an article critical of 2631 02:31:20,480 --> 02:31:23,800 Speaker 4: Fuentes by the Wall Street Journal editorial Board titled the 2632 02:31:23,959 --> 02:31:29,000 Speaker 4: Rights New Anti Semites. Meanwhile, Nick Fuentes is bragging that 2633 02:31:29,200 --> 02:31:34,280 Speaker 4: he has Vance caught in his groper squeeze, threatening to 2634 02:31:34,360 --> 02:31:37,920 Speaker 4: send gropers to twenty twenty eight primary states to disrupt 2635 02:31:38,120 --> 02:31:42,360 Speaker 4: Vince's campaign, much like the groper War of twenty nineteen 2636 02:31:42,720 --> 02:31:44,320 Speaker 4: targeting TPUSA. 2637 02:31:44,840 --> 02:31:49,240 Speaker 6: He's getting squeezed because the gropers are on the one 2638 02:31:49,360 --> 02:31:53,280 Speaker 6: hand saying, hey, listen, fat boy, we want America first. 2639 02:31:53,600 --> 02:31:55,680 Speaker 6: You want to run for president. We want to hear 2640 02:31:55,760 --> 02:32:00,320 Speaker 6: you say America first. And on the other side, he's 2641 02:32:00,360 --> 02:32:05,199 Speaker 6: got his donors, and they're saying they're horrible anti Semites. 2642 02:32:05,280 --> 02:32:08,959 Speaker 6: You have to disavow them. You have to forcefully condemn them. 2643 02:32:09,560 --> 02:32:15,800 Speaker 6: Condemned talker, Condemn the gropers. Now advance, condemns the groupers. 2644 02:32:17,080 --> 02:32:22,640 Speaker 6: We are deploying to Iowa. Raise your right hand. I 2645 02:32:22,959 --> 02:32:27,720 Speaker 6: swear I'm gonna move to Iowa and New Hampshire and 2646 02:32:27,959 --> 02:32:32,119 Speaker 6: Nevada and South Carolina and one primary after the next, 2647 02:32:32,400 --> 02:32:34,880 Speaker 6: and we will go to every town hall. We will 2648 02:32:34,920 --> 02:32:37,040 Speaker 6: go to every meet and greet where there's four or 2649 02:32:37,120 --> 02:32:41,400 Speaker 6: five people, and we will be there, and we'll do 2650 02:32:41,520 --> 02:32:42,039 Speaker 6: it for free. 2651 02:32:43,400 --> 02:32:46,039 Speaker 4: Nick has since laid out a more clear three year 2652 02:32:46,120 --> 02:32:50,080 Speaker 4: strategy for his fans to shape the upcoming presidential primary 2653 02:32:50,800 --> 02:32:55,120 Speaker 4: and infiltrate the next Republican White House. In some ways, 2654 02:32:55,200 --> 02:32:58,200 Speaker 4: I think Ted Cruz is right. This has been a 2655 02:32:58,440 --> 02:33:01,720 Speaker 4: time of choosing the only problem is that the choice 2656 02:33:01,879 --> 02:33:06,320 Speaker 4: has already been made. The Fuentes interview is already Tucker 2657 02:33:06,360 --> 02:33:12,400 Speaker 4: Carlson's fourth most popular video ever. Just two weeks after 2658 02:33:12,480 --> 02:33:17,959 Speaker 4: its release. Fuentes's quote tweet of Shapiro's takedown video ratioed 2659 02:33:18,120 --> 02:33:24,560 Speaker 4: Shapiro by one hundred and twenty thousand likes. Fuentes's last 2660 02:33:24,879 --> 02:33:28,760 Speaker 4: ten live streams have had an average viewership of over 2661 02:33:29,160 --> 02:33:35,640 Speaker 4: eight hundred thousand people on Rumble, beating Shapiro's average YouTube 2662 02:33:35,680 --> 02:33:39,879 Speaker 4: of you count by hundreds of thousands. The New York 2663 02:33:39,879 --> 02:33:43,320 Speaker 4: Times has put out seven pieces on Fuentes, both articles 2664 02:33:43,360 --> 02:33:47,520 Speaker 4: and opinion since the Tucker interview, plus other related news 2665 02:33:47,560 --> 02:33:52,360 Speaker 4: stories about Heritage and Tucker, which obviously mentioned Fuentes. Other 2666 02:33:52,440 --> 02:33:54,840 Speaker 4: outlets from The Wall Street Journal to The Washington Post 2667 02:33:55,120 --> 02:33:58,960 Speaker 4: have followed suit. CNN did a five minute and thirty 2668 02:33:59,000 --> 02:34:02,199 Speaker 4: second segment on the followed of the Heritage Tucker Fwent 2669 02:34:02,360 --> 02:34:05,120 Speaker 4: has situation and what it means for the future of 2670 02:34:05,200 --> 02:34:08,600 Speaker 4: the Republican Party, and has since done more segments on 2671 02:34:08,680 --> 02:34:13,320 Speaker 4: the issue, including one with Ben Shapiro. Multiple Twentes segments 2672 02:34:13,440 --> 02:34:15,320 Speaker 4: have also aired on MSNBC. 2673 02:34:16,120 --> 02:34:19,240 Speaker 19: Here's a sampling for once Donald Trump has remained silent 2674 02:34:19,400 --> 02:34:21,440 Speaker 19: on an issue, as well as Jade Vance, who is 2675 02:34:21,480 --> 02:34:25,080 Speaker 19: reportedly personally close to Carlson. It also has opened up 2676 02:34:25,080 --> 02:34:28,600 Speaker 19: an uncomfortable discussion for the GOP about what place people 2677 02:34:28,800 --> 02:34:31,160 Speaker 19: like Nick Fwent does have within the MAGA movement. 2678 02:34:31,520 --> 02:34:33,960 Speaker 20: And now to the brewing war within MAGA over the 2679 02:34:34,040 --> 02:34:37,200 Speaker 20: future of the American conservative movement. It comes as far 2680 02:34:37,320 --> 02:34:40,960 Speaker 20: right influencer Nick Fuentes recently recorded a cordial interview at 2681 02:34:40,959 --> 02:34:43,760 Speaker 20: the invitation of Tucker Carlson. That more than five million 2682 02:34:43,959 --> 02:34:46,600 Speaker 20: people have viewed the latest op ed in The Los 2683 02:34:46,640 --> 02:34:50,080 Speaker 20: Angeles Times by our next guest is highlighting this growing division. 2684 02:34:50,360 --> 02:34:53,520 Speaker 20: Contributing writer Matt Lewis contends that some Trump loyalists are 2685 02:34:53,560 --> 02:34:58,000 Speaker 20: now objecting to maga's quote white power element. Matt joins us, 2686 02:34:58,040 --> 02:35:00,920 Speaker 20: Now he's an author, columnist and conservative writer. Matt, the 2687 02:35:00,959 --> 02:35:03,160 Speaker 20: fact that we're even talking about a quote unquote white 2688 02:35:03,280 --> 02:35:06,560 Speaker 20: power element is I think concerning on its face, But 2689 02:35:06,680 --> 02:35:09,640 Speaker 20: this is also something that's persisted within MAGA over the 2690 02:35:09,720 --> 02:35:12,240 Speaker 20: course of the last ten years. I mean, I remember 2691 02:35:12,320 --> 02:35:15,240 Speaker 20: covering when Trump himself had dinner with Nick Fuentes at 2692 02:35:15,280 --> 02:35:17,920 Speaker 20: the invitation of Kanye West just a few years ago, 2693 02:35:18,040 --> 02:35:20,040 Speaker 20: November twenty twenty two at mar A Lago. 2694 02:35:20,560 --> 02:35:22,360 Speaker 3: Why was this not a conversation then? 2695 02:35:22,440 --> 02:35:26,600 Speaker 5: And what's changed now? Look, yeah, I think you're totally right. 2696 02:35:26,680 --> 02:35:28,240 Speaker 21: I mean, part of it is that Donald Trump has 2697 02:35:28,240 --> 02:35:30,119 Speaker 21: actually been a really good friend to Israel. 2698 02:35:30,760 --> 02:35:33,920 Speaker 4: I never thought the leopards would eat my face, sobs 2699 02:35:34,120 --> 02:35:38,160 Speaker 4: Conservative columnist who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party. 2700 02:35:38,959 --> 02:35:42,880 Speaker 4: Even calling Fuentes a quote unquote white power figure shows 2701 02:35:42,959 --> 02:35:45,880 Speaker 4: how outdated and out of touch the talking heads and 2702 02:35:45,959 --> 02:35:50,120 Speaker 4: many journalists are. It's not the eighties anymore, white power? 2703 02:35:50,240 --> 02:35:54,440 Speaker 4: What are you talking about? That's not what Fuentes is doing. 2704 02:35:54,520 --> 02:35:57,360 Speaker 4: If you can't recognize that, you shouldn't be talking about it. 2705 02:35:58,160 --> 02:36:01,760 Speaker 4: These talking heads are completely ill equipped to understand gen 2706 02:36:01,840 --> 02:36:05,200 Speaker 4: Z politics, or the lack thereof. We saw this in 2707 02:36:05,320 --> 02:36:08,560 Speaker 4: the reporting on Tyler Robinson in the past few mass 2708 02:36:08,800 --> 02:36:12,760 Speaker 4: killing fandom school shooters. Here's MSNBC again. 2709 02:36:12,959 --> 02:36:16,119 Speaker 21: According to some sources at the Heritage Foundation, a lot 2710 02:36:16,200 --> 02:36:19,160 Speaker 21: of their interns something like forty to fifty percent or 2711 02:36:19,200 --> 02:36:24,440 Speaker 21: something agree with FOI this, which is really stunning if 2712 02:36:24,520 --> 02:36:26,360 Speaker 21: you were around the conservative movement, let's say, in the 2713 02:36:26,400 --> 02:36:26,880 Speaker 21: George W. 2714 02:36:27,040 --> 02:36:33,680 Speaker 4: Bush era, the fucking George W. Bush era, unbelievable. Nick 2715 02:36:33,760 --> 02:36:39,039 Speaker 4: Fuenttes's politically vulgar obscenity is exactly what pushes his clips 2716 02:36:39,200 --> 02:36:43,680 Speaker 4: into people's social media feeds, cutting through the dry neo 2717 02:36:43,800 --> 02:36:49,680 Speaker 4: conservative boomer slop of older Republican content creators as Trump 2718 02:36:49,800 --> 02:36:54,280 Speaker 4: two point zero continues and Maga becomes the establishment again. 2719 02:36:54,840 --> 02:36:58,080 Speaker 4: It's not going to be cool to listen to Benny Johnson, 2720 02:36:58,240 --> 02:37:01,879 Speaker 4: whoever's hosting the New Charlie Kirk Show, or Ben Shapiro, 2721 02:37:02,320 --> 02:37:04,440 Speaker 4: to the extent to which listening to any of those 2722 02:37:04,720 --> 02:37:09,560 Speaker 4: is even still cool or counter cultural. Fuentes doesn't have 2723 02:37:09,800 --> 02:37:13,640 Speaker 4: this same problem. He can ride the cultural vibe shift 2724 02:37:14,080 --> 02:37:17,280 Speaker 4: of the twenty twenty four election and still appeal to 2725 02:37:17,360 --> 02:37:21,000 Speaker 4: the reactionary tendencies of some young men, but is outside 2726 02:37:21,120 --> 02:37:25,320 Speaker 4: enough to continue benefiting from the gen Z thirst for 2727 02:37:25,560 --> 02:37:29,840 Speaker 4: anti establishment populism. At the end of last month, there 2728 02:37:29,959 --> 02:37:33,280 Speaker 4: was a short article in The Atlantic titled the firewall 2729 02:37:33,440 --> 02:37:38,120 Speaker 4: against Nick Fuentes is crumbling. The white supremacist influencer is 2730 02:37:38,360 --> 02:37:42,040 Speaker 4: entering the MAGA mainstream, And yeah, that's correct. The tact 2731 02:37:42,080 --> 02:37:46,880 Speaker 4: agreement against talking about covering or platforming Nick has slowly 2732 02:37:47,040 --> 02:37:50,960 Speaker 4: fallen apart the past few months. Google trends graphs of 2733 02:37:51,000 --> 02:37:55,359 Speaker 4: search popularity has Nick Fuentes high above Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, 2734 02:37:55,680 --> 02:38:00,560 Speaker 4: or Canvas Owens, and considering Nick's newfound fame, he isn't 2735 02:38:00,640 --> 02:38:03,920 Speaker 4: trying to slow down or moderate his views to appeal 2736 02:38:03,959 --> 02:38:06,960 Speaker 4: to a bigger audience, and he doesn't need to. The 2737 02:38:07,120 --> 02:38:11,119 Speaker 4: audience is coming to him to explain why his audience 2738 02:38:11,200 --> 02:38:14,240 Speaker 4: is growing so much. It's not that he's gotten less 2739 02:38:14,480 --> 02:38:19,320 Speaker 4: ideologically dogmatic as of recent It's that the Zoomer world 2740 02:38:19,600 --> 02:38:23,840 Speaker 4: has caught up to the anti ideology behind Nick Fuentes, 2741 02:38:24,320 --> 02:38:28,000 Speaker 4: the void of animosity that animates Fuentes, which is underneath 2742 02:38:28,120 --> 02:38:32,560 Speaker 4: his gesturing to relics of tradition and culture to offer 2743 02:38:32,720 --> 02:38:37,760 Speaker 4: a north star through the grievance inspired nihilism he actually embodies. 2744 02:38:38,360 --> 02:38:42,240 Speaker 4: Nick Fuentes is a meme, His clips spread like a meme. 2745 02:38:42,720 --> 02:38:46,880 Speaker 4: His groper movement is named after a meme, and Nick 2746 02:38:47,040 --> 02:38:50,480 Speaker 4: is ready willing and able to seize the spotlight he 2747 02:38:50,640 --> 02:38:55,080 Speaker 4: has been gifted to Nick. This controversy demonstrates that the 2748 02:38:55,240 --> 02:39:00,800 Speaker 4: prestigious Heritage Foundation is territory ripe for groper infiltration. 2749 02:39:01,600 --> 02:39:07,280 Speaker 6: What this signifies is that Heritage, the accreditation institution, the 2750 02:39:07,640 --> 02:39:14,280 Speaker 6: brain the priestly class that promulgates the Republican dogma. If 2751 02:39:14,400 --> 02:39:19,680 Speaker 6: that institution says that grouperism is up for debate, it's 2752 02:39:19,760 --> 02:39:23,920 Speaker 6: on the table. It's not canceled. We should talk about 2753 02:39:23,959 --> 02:39:28,000 Speaker 6: the ideas, and we should defend the people that defend 2754 02:39:28,080 --> 02:39:32,200 Speaker 6: the groupers or talked to the groupers. It signifies that 2755 02:39:32,360 --> 02:39:36,360 Speaker 6: one that place is a safe harbor. As I said before, 2756 02:39:37,280 --> 02:39:39,960 Speaker 6: So a grouper could go to work at Heritage and 2757 02:39:40,040 --> 02:39:43,440 Speaker 6: maybe feel welcome and comfortable, and he won't be fired. 2758 02:39:44,320 --> 02:39:46,520 Speaker 6: And you might have a grouper at Heritage who is 2759 02:39:46,560 --> 02:39:50,760 Speaker 6: going to be writing a policy paper about who knows 2760 02:39:51,400 --> 02:39:59,160 Speaker 6: foreign policy, education, immigration. They might be considered like an expert, 2761 02:39:59,440 --> 02:40:02,039 Speaker 6: and maybe they'll go on to be a legislative director 2762 02:40:02,160 --> 02:40:07,000 Speaker 6: for a senator, and they might be writing laws for 2763 02:40:07,120 --> 02:40:11,480 Speaker 6: the US government. It's conceivable if the President of Heritage 2764 02:40:11,520 --> 02:40:14,640 Speaker 6: says Tucker is in the Big ten, then that means 2765 02:40:14,680 --> 02:40:18,440 Speaker 6: that Tucker and Nick fwent to sympathizers are allowed to 2766 02:40:18,760 --> 02:40:23,400 Speaker 6: be employed at Heritage, and thus they might be in 2767 02:40:23,480 --> 02:40:27,560 Speaker 6: the position to determine the dogma. They can write the doctrine. 2768 02:40:28,320 --> 02:40:32,520 Speaker 4: Conservative writer Rob Dreer has claimed, based on DC contacts 2769 02:40:32,600 --> 02:40:37,040 Speaker 4: and talking with gen Z staffers, quote, between thirty to 2770 02:40:37,240 --> 02:40:41,119 Speaker 4: forty percent of the Zoomers who work in official Republican 2771 02:40:41,280 --> 02:40:46,320 Speaker 4: Washington are fans of Nick Fuentes unquote, writing that this 2772 02:40:46,440 --> 02:40:50,280 Speaker 4: is emblematic of a generation quote willing to revel in 2773 02:40:50,440 --> 02:40:54,199 Speaker 4: transgressions such as they tear down the pillars of civilization 2774 02:40:55,080 --> 02:40:57,000 Speaker 4: just for the fun of seeing those who have been 2775 02:40:57,200 --> 02:41:02,199 Speaker 4: gate kept away breaching containment. The groper thing is real. 2776 02:41:02,920 --> 02:41:05,640 Speaker 4: It is not a fringe movement in that it really 2777 02:41:05,840 --> 02:41:12,680 Speaker 4: has infiltrated young conservative Washington networks to a significant degree unquote. 2778 02:41:13,520 --> 02:41:18,200 Speaker 4: After the Young Republican racist group chat story dropped, Nick 2779 02:41:18,240 --> 02:41:22,840 Speaker 4: Fuentez said on his show, quote, gropers are all over 2780 02:41:23,000 --> 02:41:27,520 Speaker 4: the government, and everyone knows that there's gropers at Harvard, 2781 02:41:27,600 --> 02:41:31,640 Speaker 4: There's grapers in all the Ivy League schools. I talked 2782 02:41:31,879 --> 02:41:36,480 Speaker 4: to all of them. There's gropers in government. There's grapers 2783 02:41:36,680 --> 02:41:39,480 Speaker 4: in every department, every agency. 2784 02:41:40,040 --> 02:41:40,480 Speaker 5: Unquote. 2785 02:41:41,440 --> 02:41:44,960 Speaker 4: There's no reason to believe Nick is exaggerating. This is 2786 02:41:45,040 --> 02:41:49,480 Speaker 4: something he has advocated his followers do for years, and 2787 02:41:49,680 --> 02:41:53,200 Speaker 4: stories like the Young Republican pro Hitler group chat are 2788 02:41:53,320 --> 02:41:58,880 Speaker 4: evidence of this. Nick Fuentez is mainstream now. Nick Fuentez 2789 02:41:59,200 --> 02:42:04,840 Speaker 4: is a legitimate part of the mainstream conservative movement. Even 2790 02:42:04,879 --> 02:42:08,200 Speaker 4: if he doesn't become the quote unquote successor to his 2791 02:42:08,480 --> 02:42:13,600 Speaker 4: longtime nemesis Charlie Kirk, Fuentes is already on course to 2792 02:42:13,720 --> 02:42:16,720 Speaker 4: be the main figure to have gained the most from 2793 02:42:16,879 --> 02:42:22,040 Speaker 4: Kirk's death and emerged advantageous. This has been it could 2794 02:42:22,120 --> 02:42:22,600 Speaker 4: happen here. 2795 02:42:23,360 --> 02:42:24,400 Speaker 5: See you on the other side. 2796 02:42:44,160 --> 02:42:46,200 Speaker 3: This is it could happen here. 2797 02:42:46,360 --> 02:42:49,520 Speaker 4: Executive Disorder, our weekly newscast covering what's happening in the 2798 02:42:49,560 --> 02:42:52,040 Speaker 4: White House, the crumbling world, and what it means for you. 2799 02:42:52,120 --> 02:42:55,279 Speaker 4: I'm Garrison Davis to Dame, joined by Mia Wong, James Stout, 2800 02:42:55,480 --> 02:42:59,040 Speaker 4: and Robert Evans.

Yeah, two of the 2826 02:44:22,400 --> 02:44:25,480 Speaker 4: senators who signed on are retiring at the end of 2827 02:44:25,560 --> 02:44:29,640 Speaker 4: their term. But even if we can't get healthcare through 2828 02:44:29,720 --> 02:44:33,520 Speaker 4: this shutdown bill, you know what these Democrats did did 2829 02:44:33,680 --> 02:44:36,280 Speaker 4: able to squeeze in there.

People don't tend to 3076 02:57:50,600 --> 02:57:53,360 Speaker 2: think about it that way, and in part they don't 3077 02:57:53,440 --> 02:57:57,360 Speaker 2: because the ruling strata of the United States has not 3078 02:57:58,520 --> 02:58:02,560 Speaker 2: portrayed itself in the same unbroken way right like it 3079 02:58:02,760 --> 02:58:06,200 Speaker 2: very much makes an effort not to in public. And 3080 02:58:06,280 --> 02:58:08,240 Speaker 2: there's an extent to which it is. It's certainly different 3081 02:58:08,280 --> 02:58:10,760 Speaker 2: than like the old aristocracy of the British and the 3082 02:58:10,879 --> 02:58:14,040 Speaker 2: landed gentry that ruled the British Empire. It's not exactly 3083 02:58:14,240 --> 02:58:17,280 Speaker 2: the same, but it is like the same kind of 3084 02:58:17,440 --> 02:58:20,760 Speaker 2: people and in a lot of cases the same families 3085 02:58:21,000 --> 02:58:24,760 Speaker 2: that continue to control large amounts of wealth and inherent 3086 02:58:24,879 --> 02:58:28,360 Speaker 2: political power. I mean, there's another fucking Kennedy who seems 3087 02:58:28,440 --> 02:58:32,320 Speaker 2: like a nice kid getting into politics just as we speak, right, 3088 02:58:32,760 --> 02:58:35,000 Speaker 2: I don't know. I think I feel like we'll have 3089 02:58:35,080 --> 02:58:38,200 Speaker 2: a dedicated episode on more of the Epstein stuff. And 3090 02:58:38,480 --> 02:58:40,920 Speaker 2: there's an extent to which I keep thinking about that, 3091 02:58:41,040 --> 02:58:42,960 Speaker 2: like bitten community, where it's like no one's on the 3092 02:58:43,000 --> 02:58:45,240 Speaker 2: other side of this issue that's listening to this podcast. 3093 02:58:45,320 --> 02:58:49,560 Speaker 2: Everybody's very angry about the pedophilia everybody's very angry about 3094 02:58:49,600 --> 02:58:53,200 Speaker 2: all of this stuff, and I have mostly been interpreting 3095 02:58:53,240 --> 02:58:56,080 Speaker 2: it through just like laughing over the last day or two, 3096 02:58:56,120 --> 02:58:58,800 Speaker 2: which is bad because it's like really bad stuff. You 3097 02:58:58,840 --> 02:59:01,640 Speaker 2: shouldn't just do that it, But like what else? What 3098 02:59:01,800 --> 02:59:05,200 Speaker 2: other reactions? Like you can pick and choose whatever you do. 3099 02:59:06,120 --> 02:59:08,440 Speaker 2: I think to your point, Mia, however you react to this, 3100 02:59:08,520 --> 02:59:12,000 Speaker 2: it's not going to change anything, right, yeah, Like so fine, 3101 02:59:12,000 --> 02:59:12,440 Speaker 2: it hasn't. 3102 02:59:12,879 --> 02:59:15,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, but I mean, okay, I don't think that's 3103 02:59:16,080 --> 02:59:19,840 Speaker 3: completely true. You can watch how just like pissed off 3104 02:59:19,920 --> 02:59:23,360 Speaker 3: and scared these people were about like about me too, right, 3105 02:59:23,400 --> 02:59:25,080 Speaker 3: and like you can you can go listen to Bannon 3106 02:59:25,120 --> 02:59:26,720 Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago talking about how if they 3107 02:59:26,760 --> 02:59:29,320 Speaker 3: lose the election, like we're all going to prison. Yeah right, 3108 02:59:29,520 --> 02:59:34,360 Speaker 3: like these people are like concerned about even like me too, 3109 02:59:34,400 --> 02:59:36,640 Speaker 3: which was a fairly milk toe like it wasn't like 3110 02:59:36,720 --> 02:59:40,160 Speaker 3: a particularly radical feminist movement right now, and these people 3111 02:59:40,240 --> 02:59:43,840 Speaker 3: were losing their fucking minds about it. And you know, 3112 02:59:44,080 --> 02:59:47,560 Speaker 3: like we we have the potential to organize feminist movements 3113 02:59:47,560 --> 02:59:50,080 Speaker 3: that can actually do things about this shit, Like we 3114 02:59:50,440 --> 02:59:52,680 Speaker 3: are capable of building new feminist movements we did one 3115 02:59:52,959 --> 02:59:55,520 Speaker 3: not that long ago that was a big part of 3116 02:59:55,720 --> 03:00:00,600 Speaker 3: this administration collapsing the first time, and we can do 3117 03:00:00,720 --> 03:00:01,119 Speaker 3: it again. 3118 03:00:01,280 --> 03:00:03,480 Speaker 2: I'm not saying there's no point in fighting them. I'm 3119 03:00:03,520 --> 03:00:06,120 Speaker 2: just saying, like your reaction the moment to the epstein 3120 03:00:06,200 --> 03:00:10,480 Speaker 2: Leagues doesn't matter as much as is this going to 3121 03:00:11,920 --> 03:00:15,160 Speaker 2: Is this going to cause any kind of like long 3122 03:00:15,280 --> 03:00:18,760 Speaker 2: term resistance to the administration? Is this going to? And 3123 03:00:18,879 --> 03:00:21,760 Speaker 2: maybe it will, But like I guess the thing that 3124 03:00:21,800 --> 03:00:25,120 Speaker 2: I'm curious about is like what what is what are 3125 03:00:25,440 --> 03:00:28,480 Speaker 2: what are we doing to try and make this matter? Right, 3126 03:00:28,680 --> 03:00:31,160 Speaker 2: Because like that's that's where I am. 3127 03:00:31,400 --> 03:00:34,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, But the answer to the question is this going 3128 03:00:34,240 --> 03:00:36,560 Speaker 3: to matter? Is also something that every single one of 3129 03:00:36,640 --> 03:00:39,840 Speaker 3: us decides, right, because if we all just do nothing, 3130 03:00:40,080 --> 03:00:41,760 Speaker 3: then yeah, nothing, nothing will happen. 3131 03:00:42,440 --> 03:00:42,600 Speaker 8: Right. 3132 03:00:43,200 --> 03:00:46,080 Speaker 3: If we go mobilize and we go do things to 3133 03:00:46,160 --> 03:00:49,000 Speaker 3: resist these people, we intensify the things we're already doing. 3134 03:00:49,000 --> 03:00:50,640 Speaker 3: If we start doing new things, if we start doing 3135 03:00:50,720 --> 03:00:55,520 Speaker 3: new sort of feminist insertioncies, right then things can change. 3136 03:00:56,000 --> 03:00:59,360 Speaker 3: But if we don't, they're not going to and we're 3137 03:00:59,440 --> 03:01:01,080 Speaker 3: just going to have another five hundred years with these 3138 03:01:01,120 --> 03:01:02,199 Speaker 3: pedophiles ruling everything. 3139 03:01:02,400 --> 03:01:06,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think that it's probably more a 3140 03:01:06,560 --> 03:01:10,520 Speaker 2: matter of like, this is likely to shift more people 3141 03:01:10,560 --> 03:01:14,320 Speaker 2: away from the GOP, at least in the immediate future. 3142 03:01:14,400 --> 03:01:16,240 Speaker 2: I don't think in the long term. I don't know 3143 03:01:16,320 --> 03:01:18,640 Speaker 2: that you don't build a coalition off of this, because 3144 03:01:18,680 --> 03:01:22,039 Speaker 2: the dims certainly aren't trying to you at least get 3145 03:01:22,080 --> 03:01:26,240 Speaker 2: this like wider awareness of where the real problem was. 3146 03:01:26,440 --> 03:01:27,720 Speaker 2: But I just don't know. 3147 03:01:27,959 --> 03:01:29,840 Speaker 4: I think it's going to be utilized electorally by some 3148 03:01:29,959 --> 03:01:33,600 Speaker 4: Republicans to eventually decouple the party from Trump. Yes, after 3149 03:01:33,879 --> 03:01:35,560 Speaker 4: this becomes more and more evident, and they're looking for 3150 03:01:35,640 --> 03:01:38,640 Speaker 4: a way to get themselves out of becoming the Trump Party, 3151 03:01:39,120 --> 03:01:42,320 Speaker 4: and turning on him specifically through this issue will probably 3152 03:01:42,360 --> 03:01:44,200 Speaker 4: be one of the methods in which they do that. 3153 03:01:44,720 --> 03:01:47,280 Speaker 4: And you see that with some people like even like 3154 03:01:47,680 --> 03:01:49,400 Speaker 4: margin Ta Lagree and Lauren Bobert. 3155 03:01:49,640 --> 03:01:53,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, Rod Drere is writing about some stuff adjacent to this, Right, 3156 03:01:53,640 --> 03:01:56,160 Speaker 2: these are the guys who think Vance needs to lead 3157 03:01:56,200 --> 03:01:57,400 Speaker 2: the party away from Trump. 3158 03:01:58,040 --> 03:02:01,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and are already viewing Trump as a sort 3159 03:02:01,480 --> 03:02:05,240 Speaker 4: of lame duck presidency insomuch is that he's kind of 3160 03:02:05,280 --> 03:02:08,000 Speaker 4: failed to do a whole bunch of stuff especially on 3161 03:02:08,040 --> 03:02:10,960 Speaker 4: the economy in the past year. The midterms are about 3162 03:02:10,959 --> 03:02:12,200 Speaker 4: to get up and running. That's going to take up 3163 03:02:12,200 --> 03:02:14,800 Speaker 4: a whole bunch of energy that everyone expects the Dems 3164 03:02:14,840 --> 03:02:16,680 Speaker 4: to do very well in the midterms and then prevent 3165 03:02:16,959 --> 03:02:19,640 Speaker 4: Trump administration in the final two years from getting much 3166 03:02:19,640 --> 03:02:24,400 Speaker 4: of anything done through blocking things in Congress. And that's 3167 03:02:24,440 --> 03:02:26,880 Speaker 4: what a lot of people on the far right are 3168 03:02:27,000 --> 03:02:32,600 Speaker 4: like taking this situation as as basically January to now 3169 03:02:33,000 --> 03:02:35,600 Speaker 4: was the second Trump administration. This is the most that 3170 03:02:35,640 --> 03:02:38,120 Speaker 4: they're going to get done, and now it's kind of 3171 03:02:38,160 --> 03:02:42,240 Speaker 4: all downhill from here, yea, and they're looking far beyond 3172 03:02:42,320 --> 03:02:42,879 Speaker 4: Trump now. 3173 03:02:43,040 --> 03:02:58,280 Speaker 5: Yes, I want to tack back to the Times real 3174 03:02:58,400 --> 03:03:02,120 Speaker 5: quickly before we move past it. Like Garrison, some of 3175 03:03:02,160 --> 03:03:04,640 Speaker 5: those emails you read, if I'm not mistaken, were like 3176 03:03:04,720 --> 03:03:07,000 Speaker 5: in December of twenty eighteen. 3177 03:03:06,840 --> 03:03:14,560 Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, the twenty eighteen ones are Epstein saying I 3178 03:03:14,720 --> 03:03:16,480 Speaker 4: am the one able to take him down. 3179 03:03:16,600 --> 03:03:17,560 Speaker 3: That one from twenty eighteen. 3180 03:03:18,480 --> 03:03:21,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, So let's talk about I mean, the week 3181 03:03:21,720 --> 03:03:24,160 Speaker 5: before the midterms and all week after midterms in terms 3182 03:03:24,200 --> 03:03:27,000 Speaker 5: of Times front page stories. Right the week before the 3183 03:03:27,000 --> 03:03:30,320 Speaker 5: midterms to twenty eighteen, the Times ran twelve stories on 3184 03:03:30,480 --> 03:03:33,600 Speaker 5: the quote unquote migrant caravan on the front page ran 3185 03:03:33,680 --> 03:03:36,879 Speaker 5: twenty fourth. Oh yeah, I remember that, right the week 3186 03:03:37,120 --> 03:03:43,280 Speaker 5: after it ran five. The migrant caravan continued to grow 3187 03:03:43,400 --> 03:03:46,200 Speaker 5: as more people are I was physically present in Tijuana 3188 03:03:46,360 --> 03:03:48,560 Speaker 5: right as the caravan was arriving, and I continued to 3189 03:03:48,680 --> 03:03:51,720 Speaker 5: be present for the rest of that year. The caravan 3190 03:03:51,720 --> 03:03:53,760 Speaker 5: con teamed to grow, more people continue to come. Right, 3191 03:03:54,000 --> 03:03:57,520 Speaker 5: this is and a choice was made not to cover 3192 03:03:57,640 --> 03:04:01,040 Speaker 5: the Epstein stuff that Roberts spoke about. Right, A choice 3193 03:04:01,200 --> 03:04:03,880 Speaker 5: was also made at that time to really like, this 3194 03:04:04,040 --> 03:04:06,960 Speaker 5: caravan was not huge. It was large, but it wasn't 3195 03:04:07,000 --> 03:04:10,840 Speaker 5: a hugely remarkable number of migrants, and it occupied twelve 3196 03:04:11,040 --> 03:04:15,200 Speaker 5: front page stories during that one week before the election. Right, 3197 03:04:15,360 --> 03:04:17,680 Speaker 5: I don't know how else I could say this, Like 3198 03:04:17,760 --> 03:04:20,800 Speaker 5: they're literally saying look over there. Yeah. 3199 03:04:21,879 --> 03:04:25,000 Speaker 2: Well, and I guess that's part of my fear gear 3200 03:04:25,600 --> 03:04:28,560 Speaker 2: is I think that is accurate as to how things 3201 03:04:28,600 --> 03:04:30,360 Speaker 2: are going to play out, and that the DIMS will 3202 03:04:30,400 --> 03:04:34,760 Speaker 2: have a good mid term and probably pretty good results 3203 03:04:34,800 --> 03:04:37,200 Speaker 2: in the twenty twenty. That's less clear to me, you know, 3204 03:04:37,360 --> 03:04:39,520 Speaker 2: because in part, if the DIMS have a really good 3205 03:04:39,680 --> 03:04:42,280 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, and then things continue to get worse. 3206 03:04:42,320 --> 03:04:45,000 Speaker 2: Maybe we'll blame the party. I don't know who's going 3207 03:04:45,040 --> 03:04:46,960 Speaker 2: to show up on the you know, after Trump that 3208 03:04:47,160 --> 03:04:49,760 Speaker 2: that's all a little unclear. But what worries me is 3209 03:04:49,760 --> 03:04:52,440 Speaker 2: that in the mix of all that we're going to 3210 03:04:52,600 --> 03:04:56,080 Speaker 2: get away from and I think this is almost inevitable 3211 03:04:56,520 --> 03:05:00,680 Speaker 2: actual accountability for these people, Like, I don't four seed 3212 03:05:00,720 --> 03:05:05,160 Speaker 2: they're being strong punished. I foresee things moving forward, possibly 3213 03:05:05,200 --> 03:05:06,840 Speaker 2: in a way where they get quite a bit better, 3214 03:05:07,080 --> 03:05:10,680 Speaker 2: but not where I don't see the likelihood of these 3215 03:05:10,760 --> 03:05:15,080 Speaker 2: people getting punished. And I don't know that somebody running 3216 03:05:15,320 --> 03:05:17,720 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty eight on a platform of we're going 3217 03:05:17,840 --> 03:05:20,680 Speaker 2: to hang these people in the street would win, But 3218 03:05:20,800 --> 03:05:21,800 Speaker 2: I think it's worth a shot. 3219 03:05:23,920 --> 03:05:28,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's pretty far off, I really know. Yeah, 3220 03:05:28,680 --> 03:05:32,600 Speaker 4: I'm not sure how much this will still be relevant 3221 03:05:32,640 --> 03:05:36,680 Speaker 4: by then. I mean after Mike Johnson for seven weeks 3222 03:05:37,040 --> 03:05:41,959 Speaker 4: delayed the swearing in of Arizona representative at Elite Gorihalva, 3223 03:05:42,800 --> 03:05:45,920 Speaker 4: she was finally sworn in yesterday on Wednesday and became 3224 03:05:46,080 --> 03:05:50,800 Speaker 4: the two hundred and eighteenth required signature on the discharge 3225 03:05:50,879 --> 03:05:54,720 Speaker 4: petition to force a floor vote for the full release 3226 03:05:54,920 --> 03:05:58,880 Speaker 4: of the Epstein files. Johnson says this vote will happen 3227 03:05:59,160 --> 03:06:04,160 Speaker 4: next week. During this process, Trump held an emergency meeting 3228 03:06:04,240 --> 03:06:08,840 Speaker 4: in the Situation Room with Pam Bondie, Todd Blanche, and 3229 03:06:09,040 --> 03:06:12,560 Speaker 4: Cash Bettel to convince Lauren Bobert to take her name 3230 03:06:12,760 --> 03:06:16,240 Speaker 4: off the petition, which would then result in it not 3231 03:06:16,520 --> 03:06:20,280 Speaker 4: being complete and forcing the vote. They are certainly in 3232 03:06:20,440 --> 03:06:23,360 Speaker 4: a panic over this. The whole White House team is. 3233 03:06:24,040 --> 03:06:27,840 Speaker 4: This morning Thursday, Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt put out an 3234 03:06:27,879 --> 03:06:31,200 Speaker 4: amazing post on x the Everything app quote. If not 3235 03:06:31,400 --> 03:06:34,600 Speaker 4: for the Jeffrey Epstein story, CNN would be forced talk 3236 03:06:34,640 --> 03:06:37,600 Speaker 4: about how Chuck Schumer and the Democrats got shellacked by 3237 03:06:37,680 --> 03:06:40,800 Speaker 4: President Trump and Republicans in the government shut down fight. 3238 03:06:41,360 --> 03:06:44,240 Speaker 4: It's clear this is another Democrat and mainstream media hoax 3239 03:06:44,280 --> 03:06:47,680 Speaker 4: fueled by fake outrage distract. When the President's wins, Republicans 3240 03:06:47,720 --> 03:06:50,320 Speaker 4: don't be fooled.

Rod Is, he wouldn't 3319 03:10:25,560 --> 03:10:28,200 Speaker 2: call himself a fascist. But if you ever bring up 3320 03:10:28,680 --> 03:10:31,520 Speaker 2: is this specific fascist from history bad, he'd say, well, 3321 03:10:31,600 --> 03:10:34,120 Speaker 2: not compared to the communists they stopped right. That's the 3322 03:10:34,200 --> 03:10:36,240 Speaker 2: kind of conservative conservative that Rod is. 3323 03:10:36,360 --> 03:10:37,360 Speaker 3: He's basically friends. 3324 03:10:38,160 --> 03:10:40,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's basically friends of Victor or Body. 3325 03:10:40,680 --> 03:10:40,880 Speaker 5: Yeah. 3326 03:10:41,680 --> 03:10:44,560 Speaker 3: Didn't he just write a piece called our women ruining 3327 03:10:44,600 --> 03:10:45,279 Speaker 3: the workplace? 3328 03:10:45,680 --> 03:10:48,200 Speaker 2: He's written several like that. I think he's just like 3329 03:10:48,280 --> 03:10:50,760 Speaker 2: the people I'm talking about. Was when he came out 3330 03:10:50,760 --> 03:10:52,440 Speaker 2: with on November tenth, called what I Saw on herd 3331 03:10:52,480 --> 03:10:54,760 Speaker 2: in Washington, and he was at a meeting with President 3332 03:10:54,840 --> 03:11:01,080 Speaker 2: Vice President James Darryl Vance, not his stolen James Dolan Vance. 3333 03:11:01,800 --> 03:11:04,360 Speaker 2: That's a good James Dolan. You're a real New Yorker. Now, 3334 03:11:04,480 --> 03:11:07,320 Speaker 2: gare are you pissed about the Knicks permanently? 3335 03:11:07,959 --> 03:11:08,119 Speaker 5: Now? 3336 03:11:09,120 --> 03:11:10,560 Speaker 4: Basketball's too masculine for me. 3337 03:11:10,720 --> 03:11:13,200 Speaker 2: So he came out with this article about this this 3338 03:11:13,400 --> 03:11:16,040 Speaker 2: meeting that that Vance had with Victor Orbon and some 3339 03:11:16,160 --> 03:11:18,760 Speaker 2: other Republican luminaries. And for a little bit of context, 3340 03:11:18,920 --> 03:11:22,039 Speaker 2: Dreyer is, again, you wouldn't call him an anti trumper. 3341 03:11:22,120 --> 03:11:23,640 Speaker 2: You'd call him a guy who thinks that Trump is 3342 03:11:23,720 --> 03:11:25,840 Speaker 2: going to doom the right and doom the right to 3343 03:11:25,920 --> 03:11:28,680 Speaker 2: fascism unless jd Vance can save them. He actually has 3344 03:11:28,720 --> 03:11:31,160 Speaker 2: a recent His most recent column is basically jd Vance 3345 03:11:31,240 --> 03:11:33,360 Speaker 2: is the only person who can save the right wing 3346 03:11:33,520 --> 03:11:37,080 Speaker 2: from fascism. And he's a weird dude who reads a 3347 03:11:37,120 --> 03:11:39,920 Speaker 2: lot of Hannah Arnt but absolutely does not understand her. 3348 03:11:40,480 --> 03:11:42,840 Speaker 2: But this article of his based on this meeting is 3349 03:11:42,920 --> 03:11:45,200 Speaker 2: useful for a couple of reasons. One that I'm sure 3350 03:11:45,240 --> 03:11:47,480 Speaker 2: Gary and I will talk about more detail later is 3351 03:11:48,240 --> 03:11:51,440 Speaker 2: Drere estimates in here that thirty to forty percent of 3352 03:11:51,600 --> 03:11:55,040 Speaker 2: the Zoomers who are working for the Republican Party in 3353 03:11:55,240 --> 03:12:00,920 Speaker 2: DC are Groyper's aka fans of Holocaust DENI are and true? True? 3354 03:12:01,360 --> 03:12:02,000 Speaker 5: Yeah? Is that? 3355 03:12:02,160 --> 03:12:04,800 Speaker 2: What is that what eugen z kids are saying for truth? Garrison? 3356 03:12:05,160 --> 03:12:07,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's okay, Okay, that's truth. I can't keep it 3357 03:12:07,920 --> 03:12:11,480 Speaker 5: a great track of that's shit anymore. Truth nuke Great, 3358 03:12:12,440 --> 03:12:15,680 Speaker 5: that makes sense, Duke. Sure, Yeah, they're all grapers, or 3359 03:12:15,760 --> 03:12:17,000 Speaker 5: at least forty percent are. 3360 03:12:17,360 --> 03:12:19,560 Speaker 2: Thirty thirty forty percent And I actually eat number one 3361 03:12:19,680 --> 03:12:22,800 Speaker 2: he Dreyer, He's not someone that I I think just 3362 03:12:22,920 --> 03:12:25,680 Speaker 2: makes up nonsense. I think he's like wrong because his 3363 03:12:25,800 --> 03:12:29,400 Speaker 2: brain is bad. But I I he provides some backup, 3364 03:12:29,480 --> 03:12:32,280 Speaker 2: including interviews and conversations he had for this, and this 3365 03:12:32,440 --> 03:12:35,480 Speaker 2: is consistent with other information coming out of the beltweigh. 3366 03:12:35,840 --> 03:12:38,600 Speaker 2: I think he's probably pretty close to the accurate number here, right, 3367 03:12:38,680 --> 03:12:41,760 Speaker 2: thirty to forty percent seems believable. Gare, I think you're 3368 03:12:41,800 --> 03:12:44,320 Speaker 2: more or less in the same area there, Garrison is 3369 03:12:44,360 --> 03:12:49,320 Speaker 2: thirty great, Yes, that's yes, that's that's what I meant. James, 3370 03:12:49,400 --> 03:12:55,760 Speaker 2: thank you for the most charitable reading of my sentence there. Now, 3371 03:12:55,879 --> 03:12:58,240 Speaker 2: the thing that I thought was the other thing that 3372 03:12:58,240 --> 03:13:00,560 Speaker 2: I thought was interesting from this article is because he's 3373 03:13:00,640 --> 03:13:03,880 Speaker 2: he's trying to talk about why the media, which he 3374 03:13:04,160 --> 03:13:06,760 Speaker 2: sees as an inherently left wing organization, even though we 3375 03:13:06,920 --> 03:13:08,959 Speaker 2: just talked about all of the carrying water for Jeffrey 3376 03:13:08,959 --> 03:13:11,119 Speaker 2: Epstein while attacking trans people, shit they did. 3377 03:13:11,760 --> 03:13:13,840 Speaker 4: It's it's it's it's a it's a right wing slash 3378 03:13:13,879 --> 03:13:16,560 Speaker 4: liberal organization. I would would, yeah, you have to, you 3379 03:13:16,600 --> 03:13:19,240 Speaker 4: have to get over some of his aspects of phrasing. 3380 03:13:19,320 --> 03:13:22,440 Speaker 4: But he's talking about why. One of some of the 3381 03:13:22,480 --> 03:13:25,840 Speaker 4: reasons why he thinks that the institutions in our society, 3382 03:13:26,360 --> 03:13:29,000 Speaker 4: like Zoomers do not trust them. And this is where 3383 03:13:29,040 --> 03:13:30,240 Speaker 4: I think he's on the money, because I think that 3384 03:13:30,320 --> 03:13:35,160 Speaker 4: the reason why so many gen Z Republicans, like Republican staffers, 3385 03:13:35,240 --> 03:13:38,160 Speaker 4: are gropers is what he gets at, which is that 3386 03:13:38,800 --> 03:13:40,560 Speaker 4: they're having the same problem as the rest of gen Z. 3387 03:13:40,680 --> 03:13:42,840 Speaker 4: They're just approaching it from a fascist standpoint. But they 3388 03:13:42,840 --> 03:13:45,240 Speaker 4: all are starting from the same point, which is I'm fucked. 3389 03:13:45,480 --> 03:13:48,320 Speaker 4: My generation is fucked. Yeah, there's no jobs, I'm not 3390 03:13:48,360 --> 03:13:50,560 Speaker 4: going to own a house. The climate is screwed. 3391 03:13:51,000 --> 03:13:53,760 Speaker 2: Like they're blaming the Jews for it, but they're they're 3392 03:13:53,840 --> 03:13:56,960 Speaker 2: starting at the same plan. It's school shooter politics, right, 3393 03:13:57,080 --> 03:14:00,480 Speaker 2: school shooter politics. Yes, some people understand this and then 3394 03:14:00,520 --> 03:14:02,800 Speaker 2: decide to do a school shooting. These guys decide to 3395 03:14:02,800 --> 03:14:05,520 Speaker 2: get jobs in Washington. Yes, but it's the same psychea 3396 03:14:05,680 --> 03:14:09,119 Speaker 2: behind the mechanism, exactly right. And I'm going to read 3397 03:14:09,120 --> 03:14:11,400 Speaker 2: a quote from Dreer's article and then we'll move past 3398 03:14:11,480 --> 03:14:13,720 Speaker 2: him to the primary thing I wanted to talk about here, 3399 03:14:14,080 --> 03:14:16,240 Speaker 2: and this is him talking about, you know, why these 3400 03:14:16,280 --> 03:14:19,000 Speaker 2: Zoomers don't trust the system and want to destroy everything. 3401 03:14:19,959 --> 03:14:21,920 Speaker 2: The institutions of our society as they see it, have 3402 03:14:22,080 --> 03:14:24,080 Speaker 2: lied and light and light and still lie. They still 3403 03:14:24,120 --> 03:14:26,199 Speaker 2: lie in many ways about race, refusing to be honest 3404 03:14:26,240 --> 03:14:28,440 Speaker 2: about black crime. They lie about COVID, They lied about 3405 03:14:28,480 --> 03:14:30,800 Speaker 2: males and females, and they force the insanity of gender 3406 03:14:30,840 --> 03:14:33,600 Speaker 2: ideology on us. All the military light about I Rock 3407 03:14:33,920 --> 03:14:37,560 Speaker 2: the universities is just the military, just the military rod. 3408 03:14:37,959 --> 03:14:41,320 Speaker 2: The universities embraced and enforced ideologies of lies. The Catholic 3409 03:14:41,360 --> 03:14:43,320 Speaker 2: churchs lie about sexual abuse and the connection to the 3410 03:14:43,320 --> 03:14:46,800 Speaker 2: prevalence of sexually active gay priests. Exactly is that the problem? 3411 03:14:46,959 --> 03:14:50,600 Speaker 2: Honeycoming institution. They lied about the benefits of mass migration 3412 03:14:50,720 --> 03:14:52,879 Speaker 2: and diversity. They lied about Trump and Russia. They sure 3413 03:14:52,959 --> 03:14:56,240 Speaker 2: didn't the political parties, in their corporate allies light about 3414 03:14:56,240 --> 03:14:59,000 Speaker 2: what globals we need for ordinary people. The media have lied, 3415 03:14:59,040 --> 03:15:01,640 Speaker 2: and they do about most things. This past week and 3416 03:15:01,760 --> 03:15:04,000 Speaker 2: everybody was talking about the new report in Blaze Media 3417 03:15:04,080 --> 03:15:06,760 Speaker 2: alleging that the mysterious January sixth pipe bomber was in 3418 03:15:06,800 --> 03:15:09,920 Speaker 2: fact a former Capitol Police officer, the implications being that 3419 03:15:10,000 --> 03:15:11,840 Speaker 2: the whole event was orchestrated by the deep state to 3420 03:15:11,879 --> 03:15:14,880 Speaker 2: discredit Donald Trump. Maybe mainstream media are busy trying to 3421 03:15:14,959 --> 03:15:17,160 Speaker 2: validate this reporting on their own. If The Blaze has 3422 03:15:17,200 --> 03:15:19,200 Speaker 2: this wrong, they're going to be suited to oblivion, and 3423 03:15:19,360 --> 03:15:21,800 Speaker 2: so will all the other media who amplify a false charge. 3424 03:15:22,000 --> 03:15:22,600 Speaker 2: I can tell you that. 3425 03:15:22,760 --> 03:15:22,800 Speaker 15: No. 3426 03:15:23,000 --> 03:15:24,640 Speaker 2: All I can tell you is that nobody in the 3427 03:15:24,760 --> 03:15:26,840 Speaker 2: MSM are talking about it as I write it, even 3428 03:15:26,879 --> 03:15:29,680 Speaker 2: though it is an explosive story. People were in fact 3429 03:15:29,760 --> 03:15:30,360 Speaker 2: talking about it. 3430 03:15:30,480 --> 03:15:30,680 Speaker 3: Yeah. 3431 03:15:30,760 --> 03:15:34,520 Speaker 2: And in fact, before we could do this episode, The Bulwark, 3432 03:15:34,640 --> 03:15:38,800 Speaker 2: which has both a website with articles and is a 3433 03:15:38,879 --> 03:15:43,080 Speaker 2: podcast network, came up with an article by Will Sommer, 3434 03:15:43,160 --> 03:15:47,040 Speaker 2: who used to write for The Journalist. Yeah, good journalist. 3435 03:15:47,959 --> 03:15:49,600 Speaker 2: We took a bullying hat class together, I believe was 3436 03:15:49,640 --> 03:15:51,840 Speaker 2: the post that he wrote for. At the time. 3437 03:15:52,080 --> 03:15:54,480 Speaker 4: He was like one of the leading QAnon experts for years. 3438 03:15:54,720 --> 03:15:57,320 Speaker 5: Yeah you student Dady beast Wassing for a while. 3439 03:15:57,520 --> 03:15:59,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, Daily Beast is I think where I knew him from. 3440 03:15:59,480 --> 03:16:01,520 Speaker 2: And he wrote a really good article called The Blaze's 3441 03:16:01,560 --> 03:16:06,800 Speaker 2: pipe on Bombshell appears to bomb and basically Dreer says here, well, 3442 03:16:06,840 --> 03:16:08,600 Speaker 2: if the bit if the Blaze is wrong, they'll be 3443 03:16:08,720 --> 03:16:11,320 Speaker 2: soon too oblivion. And the short answer is yeah, I 3444 03:16:11,320 --> 03:16:15,080 Speaker 2: think yeah, because they absolutely named this lady and the 3445 03:16:15,200 --> 03:16:18,160 Speaker 2: Capitol Police. To make a long story short, if you 3446 03:16:18,200 --> 03:16:20,920 Speaker 2: don't want to read the whole Blaze article, you can 3447 03:16:21,000 --> 03:16:22,760 Speaker 2: read the piece on the bulwark. You can read the 3448 03:16:22,800 --> 03:16:25,040 Speaker 2: sections of it, or you can type the link to 3449 03:16:25,080 --> 03:16:27,600 Speaker 2: the Blaze article into like archive dot org, so you 3450 03:16:27,640 --> 03:16:30,640 Speaker 2: don't give from traffic if you want. It's not good. 3451 03:16:32,200 --> 03:16:35,120 Speaker 2: It's the entire their entire claims that this particular woman. 3452 03:16:35,160 --> 03:16:37,200 Speaker 2: And I am not going to name this woman because 3453 03:16:37,240 --> 03:16:39,920 Speaker 2: I don't think she's the bomber, and I don't think 3454 03:16:40,000 --> 03:16:43,360 Speaker 2: you've got name people as being a terrorist if you're 3455 03:16:43,440 --> 03:16:47,360 Speaker 2: not sure they were. I will say that she's a woman, 3456 03:16:47,440 --> 03:16:49,800 Speaker 2: and that she's a Capitol Police officer, or at least 3457 03:16:50,400 --> 03:16:52,840 Speaker 2: now a former Capitol Police officer who is kind of 3458 03:16:53,040 --> 03:16:55,840 Speaker 2: insinuated by the Blaze and has been absolutely taken up 3459 03:16:55,840 --> 03:16:58,080 Speaker 2: by the right wing media immediately since to be a Now, 3460 03:16:58,280 --> 03:17:00,840 Speaker 2: she got poached by the CIA right and that's taken 3461 03:17:00,840 --> 03:17:02,960 Speaker 2: as like proof that she definitely did this. She's a 3462 03:17:03,040 --> 03:17:10,160 Speaker 2: security guard at the CIA's she's not in the CIA. 3463 03:17:10,640 --> 03:17:14,600 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, guys. She's a rent to cop for the CIA, 3464 03:17:14,959 --> 03:17:17,680 Speaker 2: which is let's be fair, probably the highest rung of 3465 03:17:17,720 --> 03:17:21,960 Speaker 2: rent to cop, Like, you know, you're taking a step 3466 03:17:22,040 --> 03:17:24,720 Speaker 2: up as a rent to cop, but she's not. She's 3467 03:17:24,800 --> 03:17:27,280 Speaker 2: not out there over throwing democracies yet. 3468 03:17:29,080 --> 03:17:29,440 Speaker 3: I don't know. 3469 03:17:29,520 --> 03:17:31,880 Speaker 2: Maybe they fast track you once you're let's see a 3470 03:17:32,040 --> 03:17:36,560 Speaker 2: security guard enough. But so the whole claim that the 3471 03:17:36,640 --> 03:17:40,000 Speaker 2: Blaze is staking the reputation on because if you're paying 3472 03:17:40,000 --> 03:17:43,560 Speaker 2: attention to like info wars, well not reputations their financial 3473 03:17:43,680 --> 03:17:46,520 Speaker 2: solvency because info wars currently owes like a billion and 3474 03:17:46,560 --> 03:17:50,280 Speaker 2: a half dollars for wrongly accusing people of having faked 3475 03:17:50,360 --> 03:17:54,280 Speaker 2: match shootings and the depths of their own children. So 3476 03:17:54,959 --> 03:17:57,160 Speaker 2: their argument that this lady has to be it is 3477 03:17:57,200 --> 03:17:59,080 Speaker 2: based on they have some old footage of her, like 3478 03:17:59,160 --> 03:18:02,040 Speaker 2: the jogging track, and there's a couple of clips from 3479 03:18:02,040 --> 03:18:04,440 Speaker 2: the drugsraph they showed. But they're claiming that this Gate 3480 03:18:04,560 --> 03:18:06,800 Speaker 2: analysis that they did between the Capitol bomber and this 3481 03:18:06,840 --> 03:18:08,840 Speaker 2: woman is based on footage of her that they are 3482 03:18:09,000 --> 03:18:12,400 Speaker 2: not publishing publicly. That's good so that you can verify it, 3483 03:18:12,680 --> 03:18:15,360 Speaker 2: But that they say is ninety four percent. And they 3484 03:18:15,480 --> 03:18:17,720 Speaker 2: talked to a Gate analysis expert and he did a 3485 03:18:17,800 --> 03:18:19,800 Speaker 2: personal Gate analysis and he said it had be more 3486 03:18:19,840 --> 03:18:23,080 Speaker 2: than ninety eight percent, so that means basically it definitely 3487 03:18:23,240 --> 03:18:26,840 Speaker 2: was her because gate analysis is for sure real and 3488 03:18:27,080 --> 03:18:30,560 Speaker 2: not one of the Every kind of forensic science is 3489 03:18:30,640 --> 03:18:31,039 Speaker 2: a lie. 3490 03:18:31,240 --> 03:18:36,320 Speaker 22: Lie be even very good for flying shoes alone convicting 3491 03:18:36,440 --> 03:18:39,280 Speaker 22: someone that we have fear of you data to show 3492 03:18:39,320 --> 03:18:42,279 Speaker 22: that you shouldn't choose your running shoes of gate analysis, 3493 03:18:42,400 --> 03:18:43,560 Speaker 22: let alone fucking. 3494 03:18:45,120 --> 03:18:47,280 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, there's many articles about how it may not 3495 03:18:47,360 --> 03:18:51,640 Speaker 2: be the future of the shoe industry. You should certainly 3496 03:18:51,760 --> 03:18:56,800 Speaker 2: shouldn't be hinging your publication's survival. I'm getting right that 3497 03:18:57,000 --> 03:18:58,280 Speaker 2: somebody was a bomber ba. 3498 03:19:00,440 --> 03:19:02,680 Speaker 4: This is just the latest attempt by the right to 3499 03:19:03,040 --> 03:19:06,360 Speaker 4: run this whole J six false flag conspiracy, which is 3500 03:19:06,400 --> 03:19:08,560 Speaker 4: picking up a lot of steam. Like a few months ago, 3501 03:19:08,680 --> 03:19:12,280 Speaker 4: the FBI released some information on how many agents they 3502 03:19:12,400 --> 03:19:16,840 Speaker 4: had in the area during January sixth, and this led 3503 03:19:17,000 --> 03:19:20,920 Speaker 4: many many conservative commentators to believe, Oh, look, the FBI 3504 03:19:20,959 --> 03:19:23,440 Speaker 4: had just admitted that it was their agents that actually 3505 03:19:23,480 --> 03:19:26,199 Speaker 4: started the riot and was most of the like rowdy, 3506 03:19:26,360 --> 03:19:30,600 Speaker 4: rambunctious crew members and no. The specific wording on the 3507 03:19:30,640 --> 03:19:33,560 Speaker 4: announcement or statement regarding the presence of agents at J 3508 03:19:33,720 --> 03:19:39,120 Speaker 4: six was after after the insurrection had already started and 3509 03:19:39,200 --> 03:19:42,520 Speaker 4: agents were sent there to keep it under control. That's 3510 03:19:42,520 --> 03:19:44,800 Speaker 4: what it was referring to. And Cash Hotel released a 3511 03:19:44,800 --> 03:19:48,000 Speaker 4: statement days later clarifying this, but of course that doesn't 3512 03:19:48,000 --> 03:19:50,360 Speaker 4: pick up nearly as much traction as the original claims were. 3513 03:19:50,879 --> 03:19:54,720 Speaker 4: So this whole game analysis thing is continuing on this, 3514 03:19:56,040 --> 03:19:58,600 Speaker 4: this whole conspiracy theory about how the FBI and the 3515 03:19:58,680 --> 03:20:02,880 Speaker 4: CIA staged all of January six to crush Trump and 3516 03:20:02,959 --> 03:20:07,000 Speaker 4: remove him from power, and probably warns of a future 3517 03:20:07,240 --> 03:20:11,680 Speaker 4: episode just on January sixth, conspiracy theories that have propagated 3518 03:20:11,720 --> 03:20:12,440 Speaker 4: the past few months. 3519 03:20:12,680 --> 03:20:18,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we probably, I mean, honestly, yes, but okay, 3520 03:20:18,200 --> 03:20:20,560 Speaker 2: to continue with this. So gain analysis was half of 3521 03:20:20,680 --> 03:20:22,960 Speaker 2: what their case lay on. The other half of the 3522 03:20:23,040 --> 03:20:26,640 Speaker 2: case was interviews with a couple of different people, primarily 3523 03:20:26,760 --> 03:20:31,520 Speaker 2: an FBI whistleblower, a former FBI agent who made a 3524 03:20:31,600 --> 03:20:36,120 Speaker 2: claim that, like, yeah, we tied the woman this officer's 3525 03:20:36,440 --> 03:20:39,760 Speaker 2: neighbor to a vehicle that like picked up the bomber. 3526 03:20:40,320 --> 03:20:42,960 Speaker 2: This is not based on publicly available information. This is 3527 03:20:43,000 --> 03:20:46,320 Speaker 2: based on the statements made by former FBI agent Kyle Seraphim, 3528 03:20:46,600 --> 03:20:49,520 Speaker 2: who is now a right wing media personality of course, 3529 03:20:49,920 --> 03:20:53,119 Speaker 2: and we're just trusting that this guy who is former 3530 03:20:53,240 --> 03:20:56,160 Speaker 2: FBI agent trying to rebrand himself as an influencer, is 3531 03:20:56,440 --> 03:20:59,560 Speaker 2: telling us the truth about all of this stuff that 3532 03:20:59,640 --> 03:21:02,560 Speaker 2: they're not presenting us with. This is this is kind 3533 03:21:02,600 --> 03:21:06,200 Speaker 2: of dressed up as ocent, but they're not actually providing 3534 03:21:06,240 --> 03:21:07,000 Speaker 2: you with the information. 3535 03:21:07,240 --> 03:21:09,279 Speaker 4: There's no actual open source intelligence. 3536 03:21:09,440 --> 03:21:12,280 Speaker 2: You can't work back from there from because they're hiding 3537 03:21:12,320 --> 03:21:13,000 Speaker 2: a lot of stuff. 3538 03:21:13,080 --> 03:21:13,240 Speaker 19: Right. 3539 03:21:13,720 --> 03:21:15,760 Speaker 2: There's a couple other things that Sommer notes and his 3540 03:21:15,959 --> 03:21:19,040 Speaker 2: article here to make their case against the former Capitol 3541 03:21:19,040 --> 03:21:22,560 Speaker 2: police officer. Baker was The author and co author Joseph H. Hannaman, 3542 03:21:22,680 --> 03:21:24,720 Speaker 2: focused on a comparison between the officer's gates, some of 3543 03:21:24,760 --> 03:21:26,760 Speaker 2: which was apparently captured in years old footage of her 3544 03:21:26,800 --> 03:21:29,320 Speaker 2: playing soccer, and footage of the pipeop such from the 3545 03:21:29,400 --> 03:21:32,199 Speaker 2: night of January fifth. Instead of using suspect footage released 3546 03:21:32,200 --> 03:21:34,320 Speaker 2: by the FBI, however, the Blaze claims it used footage 3547 03:21:34,360 --> 03:21:37,280 Speaker 2: from another source the article doesn't name. Critically, the Blaze 3548 03:21:37,320 --> 03:21:40,280 Speaker 2: didn't release an actual video comparison or significant details of 3549 03:21:40,320 --> 03:21:42,160 Speaker 2: the Gate analysis. Instead, it draws on the work of 3550 03:21:42,200 --> 03:21:44,720 Speaker 2: a man the Blaze called a video sleuth, a little 3551 03:21:44,760 --> 03:21:48,320 Speaker 2: known X user named Armatas whose online profile image is 3552 03:21:48,360 --> 03:21:50,720 Speaker 2: a picture from the nineteen ninety eight role playing video 3553 03:21:50,800 --> 03:21:51,920 Speaker 2: game Zeno Gears. 3554 03:21:52,320 --> 03:21:55,080 Speaker 4: Hell Yeah, Zeno Gears Great twigs Net video game. 3555 03:21:55,720 --> 03:21:58,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, You're not gonna get sued into oblivion for this shit. 3556 03:21:58,480 --> 03:21:59,840 Speaker 2: The Blaze, I'm proud of you. 3557 03:22:00,560 --> 03:22:05,440 Speaker 5: Don't believe the people who published vance Bolt's probably last 3558 03:22:05,520 --> 03:22:06,560 Speaker 5: interview would do this. 3559 03:22:07,000 --> 03:22:12,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, shocking shocking stuff. Now, to be again totally fair here, 3560 03:22:13,400 --> 03:22:15,920 Speaker 2: Dreyer does not treat this with any sort of critical 3561 03:22:16,000 --> 03:22:19,400 Speaker 2: thought whatsoever. But actually a bunch of the people critiquing 3562 03:22:19,480 --> 03:22:22,720 Speaker 2: this have been on the right, and I where I 3563 03:22:22,879 --> 03:22:24,960 Speaker 2: partially agree with Drer's I think it's a mistake that 3564 03:22:25,280 --> 03:22:28,840 Speaker 2: the mainstream media has not dedicated more effort to busting 3565 03:22:28,920 --> 03:22:31,760 Speaker 2: this immediately and to pointing out the weaknesses and stuff 3566 03:22:31,840 --> 03:22:34,680 Speaker 2: like gait analysis immediately out the gate. So it does 3567 03:22:34,800 --> 03:22:37,640 Speaker 2: kind of sound like they're ignoring it. I think they're largely. 3568 03:22:37,720 --> 03:22:39,880 Speaker 2: I think largely this isn't getting covered because it's so 3569 03:22:40,160 --> 03:22:43,400 Speaker 2: shady and bad and because it's dangerous to spread these 3570 03:22:43,520 --> 03:22:44,920 Speaker 2: kinds of claims about a person. 3571 03:22:45,080 --> 03:22:47,480 Speaker 4: Sure, I mean, yeah, it's like it's like the Blaze. 3572 03:22:48,000 --> 03:22:51,320 Speaker 2: It's not even Fox News, right, there's already law enforcement 3573 03:22:51,360 --> 03:22:53,800 Speaker 2: station outside this woman's house because of the number of 3574 03:22:53,879 --> 03:22:58,080 Speaker 2: threats that you see. Yeah right, like like again, she 3575 03:22:58,160 --> 03:22:59,840 Speaker 2: has ample claims for damages here. 3576 03:23:00,320 --> 03:23:00,520 Speaker 5: Yeah. 3577 03:23:01,040 --> 03:23:01,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. 3578 03:23:01,320 --> 03:23:03,680 Speaker 2: So a couple of the people who have come after, 3579 03:23:03,879 --> 03:23:05,640 Speaker 2: one of them is after this article. One of them 3580 03:23:05,720 --> 03:23:08,880 Speaker 2: is Julie Kelly, who's a right wing media figure and 3581 03:23:09,080 --> 03:23:13,840 Speaker 2: is a major force in the January sixth conspiracy theory world. 3582 03:23:14,879 --> 03:23:17,360 Speaker 2: And she is largely attacking the Blaze because she's doing 3583 03:23:17,440 --> 03:23:20,080 Speaker 2: her own investigation into the who did the pipe bombing? Right, 3584 03:23:20,560 --> 03:23:23,119 Speaker 2: So she's she's pointed out some very obvious problems. Why 3585 03:23:23,160 --> 03:23:26,240 Speaker 2: don't you post that other video you have, right, why 3586 03:23:26,280 --> 03:23:28,440 Speaker 2: don't you show the evidence of the gate analysis? 3587 03:23:28,520 --> 03:23:28,640 Speaker 15: Right? 3588 03:23:28,720 --> 03:23:31,560 Speaker 2: So she she's been attacking this, as has Joe Hoft, 3589 03:23:31,600 --> 03:23:35,640 Speaker 2: who's co founder of the Gateway Pundit. Hell yeah, oh god, yeah, 3590 03:23:36,520 --> 03:23:39,000 Speaker 2: great stuff. So there's there's people on the right talking 3591 03:23:39,080 --> 03:23:41,680 Speaker 2: shit about this stuff. It's worth noting that when this 3592 03:23:41,879 --> 03:23:46,200 Speaker 2: initially came out, Glenn Beck spent days beforehand hyping it 3593 03:23:46,320 --> 03:23:48,959 Speaker 2: up and talking about how like this is the biggest 3594 03:23:49,280 --> 03:23:51,280 Speaker 2: I think that he literally called it like the biggest 3595 03:23:51,400 --> 03:23:55,040 Speaker 2: conspiracy in American history maybe, which is like Jesus Christ, 3596 03:23:55,200 --> 03:23:56,959 Speaker 2: dream smaller, Come on, dude. 3597 03:23:57,520 --> 03:23:57,720 Speaker 5: Yeah. 3598 03:23:58,120 --> 03:24:01,600 Speaker 2: But within like a day of the article actually coming out, 3599 03:24:01,720 --> 03:24:07,040 Speaker 2: the Blaze added an editor's note, which is pretty damning. 3600 03:24:07,560 --> 03:24:09,640 Speaker 2: An earlier version of this story said it appeared the 3601 03:24:09,680 --> 03:24:13,880 Speaker 2: bombing suspect interacted with police after publication. A congressional investigator 3602 03:24:13,920 --> 03:24:15,760 Speaker 2: with access to a camera angle that has not been 3603 03:24:15,800 --> 03:24:17,800 Speaker 2: made public reached out and told Blaze News a person 3604 03:24:17,840 --> 03:24:20,400 Speaker 2: similarly attired to the suspected bomber who comes out of 3605 03:24:20,440 --> 03:24:22,480 Speaker 2: the alley and crosses the street towards the two Capitol 3606 03:24:22,520 --> 03:24:24,920 Speaker 2: police vehicles is not the same person as the hoodie 3607 03:24:24,920 --> 03:24:27,920 Speaker 2: clad pipe bom suspect walking down the alley just minutes earlier.

So it's not 3625 03:25:21,640 --> 03:25:24,360 Speaker 4: weird that Jews control all the media. We shouldn't be 3626 03:25:24,400 --> 03:25:27,760 Speaker 4: worried about this. And how how much of that piece 3627 03:25:27,800 --> 03:25:29,280 Speaker 4: feels like it could have been written in like the 3628 03:25:29,400 --> 03:25:36,120 Speaker 4: nineteen twenties.

I'm going to read from the statement quote, 3660 03:27:20,920 --> 03:27:23,160 Speaker 5: we are disturbed when we see among our people a 3661 03:27:23,240 --> 03:27:26,320 Speaker 5: climate of fear and anxiety around questions of profiling and 3662 03:27:26,360 --> 03:27:29,520 Speaker 5: immigration enforcement. We are saddened by the state of contemporary 3663 03:27:29,520 --> 03:27:32,600 Speaker 5: debate and the valification of migrants. We are concerned about 3664 03:27:32,640 --> 03:27:35,039 Speaker 5: the conditions in detention centers and the lack of access 3665 03:27:35,080 --> 03:27:38,160 Speaker 5: to pastoral care. We lament that some immigrants in the 3666 03:27:38,280 --> 03:27:41,320 Speaker 5: United States have arbitrarily lost their legal status. We are 3667 03:27:41,360 --> 03:27:44,000 Speaker 5: troubled by threats against the sanctity of houses of worship 3668 03:27:44,080 --> 03:27:47,000 Speaker 5: and a special nature of hospitals and schools. We are 3669 03:27:47,160 --> 03:27:50,000 Speaker 5: grieved when we meet parents who fear being detained when 3670 03:27:50,040 --> 03:27:52,440 Speaker 5: taking their children to school, when we try to console 3671 03:27:52,520 --> 03:27:55,160 Speaker 5: family members who have already been separated from their loved ones. 3672 03:27:56,080 --> 03:28:00,080 Speaker 3: This isn't the usual based, based, based, based, based, based, based. 3673 03:28:00,240 --> 03:28:04,240 Speaker 5: And has got to got a crucifix.

Right last time 3675 03:28:06,520 --> 03:28:09,720 Speaker 5: they did it about contraception, saying a Catholic church is 3676 03:28:10,680 --> 03:28:13,200 Speaker 5: an organization that I agree with all the time. If 3677 03:28:13,200 --> 03:28:15,280 Speaker 5: it's not, it's one that I disagree with most of 3678 03:28:15,360 --> 03:28:18,640 Speaker 5: the time. But I still think this is important, right, Like, 3679 03:28:18,760 --> 03:28:24,440 Speaker 5: this is an organization which has millions of followers in 3680 03:28:24,440 --> 03:28:27,480 Speaker 5: the United States, many many Catholics around the world. 3681 03:28:27,360 --> 03:28:28,120 Speaker 3: A lot of Catholics. 3682 03:28:28,480 --> 03:28:30,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, this is an organization which therefore we should pay 3683 03:28:30,840 --> 03:28:35,200 Speaker 5: attention to, right, And I think it is telling that 3684 03:28:35,879 --> 03:28:38,280 Speaker 5: the work pope has not stopped with this and that 3685 03:28:38,520 --> 03:28:41,080 Speaker 5: it seems like the vast mediority of bishops in the 3686 03:28:41,160 --> 03:28:42,879 Speaker 5: United States are on his side. 3687 03:28:43,040 --> 03:28:43,920 Speaker 11: No, it's it's it is. 3688 03:28:44,040 --> 03:28:46,359 Speaker 4: It is pretty funny we have like a never Trumper, 3689 03:28:46,959 --> 03:28:49,959 Speaker 4: nominally conservative, woke pope and the fact that he will 3690 03:28:50,000 --> 03:28:52,120 Speaker 4: not blackdown on this issue and has has actually has 3691 03:28:52,320 --> 03:28:54,360 Speaker 4: a number of statements on this the past the past 3692 03:28:54,440 --> 03:28:57,160 Speaker 4: few weeks, and not softly worded statements either. 3693 03:28:57,680 --> 03:29:01,480 Speaker 2: Catholic priests have also been reasonably good on this issue. 3694 03:29:01,760 --> 03:29:05,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's important, especially because of how much these like 3695 03:29:05,520 --> 03:29:09,440 Speaker 4: weird like fascist friendly treads are using Catholicism as like 3696 03:29:09,520 --> 03:29:10,840 Speaker 4: a fashion statement. 3697 03:29:11,280 --> 03:29:13,000 Speaker 3: And Jdvans included. 3698 03:29:12,720 --> 03:29:14,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, I was gonna say, our vice president, have. 3699 03:29:14,600 --> 03:29:18,760 Speaker 4: The actual church be like frity freaked out by that. 3700 03:29:19,879 --> 03:29:20,680 Speaker 5: I think is good. 3701 03:29:20,720 --> 03:29:22,360 Speaker 4: It'd be worth if they were leaning into it, which 3702 03:29:22,440 --> 03:29:27,440 Speaker 4: certainly some cardinals like want when they were doing their selection. 3703 03:29:27,600 --> 03:29:30,160 Speaker 5: But if you look at the votes in this issue, right, 3704 03:29:30,240 --> 03:29:32,040 Speaker 5: like two hundred and sixteen votes in favor of five 3705 03:29:32,080 --> 03:29:35,440 Speaker 5: against and three abstentions. So among bishops, which is to 3706 03:29:35,480 --> 03:29:38,840 Speaker 5: sink from cardinals like this is this is almost universal, right, 3707 03:29:38,959 --> 03:29:42,680 Speaker 5: and yet given that our vice president has made being 3708 03:29:42,959 --> 03:29:46,120 Speaker 5: an adult convert to Catholicism a large part of his 3709 03:29:46,240 --> 03:29:50,840 Speaker 5: personality embarrassing. Yeah, this is like, it is remarkable. It's 3710 03:29:50,840 --> 03:29:54,200 Speaker 5: worth paying attention to. Also, I think when I talk 3711 03:29:54,320 --> 03:29:56,840 Speaker 5: to migrants specifically, like when I was in the Darien 3712 03:29:56,959 --> 03:30:00,400 Speaker 5: Gap talking to migrants, their faith is massively important to 3713 03:30:00,480 --> 03:30:03,680 Speaker 5: so many and a lot of people, especially coming from 3714 03:30:04,120 --> 03:30:07,560 Speaker 5: South Central America, will be Catholic, right, and that is 3715 03:30:07,640 --> 03:30:10,000 Speaker 5: what propels them through, and so for them to feel 3716 03:30:10,040 --> 03:30:12,680 Speaker 5: that the Church has not abandoned them, it is important 3717 03:30:12,680 --> 03:30:15,199 Speaker 5: to them. Yeah.

That is what makes them 3721 03:30:24,760 --> 03:30:27,520 Speaker 5: feel safe. And so I am happy that the Church 3722 03:30:27,680 --> 03:30:29,080 Speaker 5: is continuing to try and make them. 3723 03:30:28,959 --> 03:30:31,840 Speaker 2: Feel safe, because yeah, what what else are you going 3724 03:30:31,920 --> 03:30:32,040 Speaker 2: to do? 3725 03:30:32,840 --> 03:30:33,000 Speaker 21: Right? 3726 03:30:33,200 --> 03:30:35,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, well we've we're trying everything else, and it's not worth. 3727 03:30:35,760 --> 03:30:39,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I defer to what will make the person being 3728 03:30:39,800 --> 03:30:43,320 Speaker 2: victimized feel better and basically all instances, and if it's 3729 03:30:43,320 --> 03:30:45,960 Speaker 2: having a priest along, then I'm glad the priest is there. 3730 03:30:46,360 --> 03:30:48,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, and I am am happy that this is something 3731 03:30:48,840 --> 03:30:51,000 Speaker 5: that can make them feel safer because, you. 3732 03:30:51,040 --> 03:30:53,000 Speaker 3: Know, critical support to the Catholic Church. 3733 03:30:53,080 --> 03:30:55,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, very critical. 3734 03:30:55,440 --> 03:30:58,640 Speaker 3: Well, the critical part I think. I think the other 3735 03:30:58,720 --> 03:31:01,960 Speaker 3: thing is worth noting that the same conference also voted 3736 03:31:02,200 --> 03:31:06,000 Speaker 3: to have an official ban on any gender affirming Catholic hospitals, 3737 03:31:06,040 --> 03:31:08,600 Speaker 3: which is like one in seven of all people in 3738 03:31:08,640 --> 03:31:12,320 Speaker 3: the US get their care at Catholic hospitals because there's 3739 03:31:12,320 --> 03:31:16,400 Speaker 3: a million of them, so critical. Yeah, yeah, like lots 3740 03:31:16,480 --> 03:31:21,160 Speaker 3: of they're not Yeah, look there they are no Protestants. Okay. 3741 03:31:21,360 --> 03:31:24,360 Speaker 4: It does feel bad to have so much Catholic praise 3742 03:31:24,400 --> 03:31:28,160 Speaker 4: on the show, but you know, I will swallow my 3743 03:31:28,280 --> 03:31:29,280 Speaker 4: Protestant prizes. 3744 03:31:29,400 --> 03:31:33,000 Speaker 5: Yeah. I'm neither a Catholic nor Protestant, but I'm glad 3745 03:31:33,560 --> 03:31:34,279 Speaker 5: this is happening. 3746 03:31:34,320 --> 03:31:36,600 Speaker 3: You're British, yes, so you. 3747 03:31:40,800 --> 03:31:42,400 Speaker 5: Do we do Catholicism without popes. 3748 03:31:42,680 --> 03:31:44,800 Speaker 2: I think we should have popes without Catholicism. 3749 03:31:44,920 --> 03:31:45,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 3750 03:31:45,320 --> 03:31:48,199 Speaker 4: See that's interesting, Robert, that's an interesting idea. 3751 03:31:48,760 --> 03:31:52,800 Speaker 2: That's Discordianism. Oh yeah, well, yeah, that's kind of. 3752 03:31:52,800 --> 03:31:55,760 Speaker 4: The least interesting version, a real kind of non Catholic 3753 03:31:55,920 --> 03:31:59,320 Speaker 4: like clerical class. Anyway, I'm gonna put this down in 3754 03:31:59,400 --> 03:32:03,920 Speaker 4: my my I FI novel Volder, you know is a. 3755 03:32:04,040 --> 03:32:08,320 Speaker 5: Forum of you know, just amount Adam just just just 3756 03:32:08,440 --> 03:32:13,039 Speaker 5: gradually reduced the volume we're going to get. We're back 3757 03:32:13,120 --> 03:32:15,640 Speaker 5: to Immigocehen. We did learn this week that the Department 3758 03:32:15,680 --> 03:32:19,400 Speaker 5: of Home ad Security secretly and illegally kept domestic data 3759 03:32:19,480 --> 03:32:23,560 Speaker 5: on nine hundred Chicago Land residents under Biden, just in 3760 03:32:23,640 --> 03:32:26,160 Speaker 5: case anyone was wondering what they were doing before people 3761 03:32:26,200 --> 03:32:30,760 Speaker 5: started paying attention to them. They also quote irrevocably destroyed 3762 03:32:30,840 --> 03:32:33,560 Speaker 5: video from inside a broad View, which is an ice 3763 03:32:33,640 --> 03:32:37,880 Speaker 5: tendin facility in Chicago Land. Yeah, of course I'm not 3764 03:32:38,240 --> 03:32:40,960 Speaker 5: shocked by that. I will say, like I would have 3765 03:32:41,000 --> 03:32:43,119 Speaker 5: been shocked if that had happened under a previous administration. 3766 03:32:43,240 --> 03:32:45,040 Speaker 5: Put it that way, like, it's not massively out of 3767 03:32:45,160 --> 03:32:47,800 Speaker 5: character for them to be incompetent at soaring and this 3768 03:32:47,959 --> 03:32:52,680 Speaker 5: kind of thing. And Ken Paxton has attempted to sue 3769 03:32:52,800 --> 03:32:56,880 Speaker 5: Harris County, a place in Texas, for donating not to 3770 03:32:57,000 --> 03:33:01,959 Speaker 5: nonprofits to provide a legal aid to migrants. He has 3771 03:33:02,080 --> 03:33:05,560 Speaker 5: some justification to this, which is theodocorous. But I'm just 3772 03:33:05,640 --> 03:33:08,959 Speaker 5: going to name a few of the NGOs here Gals 3773 03:33:09,000 --> 03:33:13,080 Speaker 5: and Houston Immigrant Representation Project, Kids in Needed Defense, Justice 3774 03:33:13,080 --> 03:33:19,640 Speaker 5: for All Immigrants, but Disis and Baker Ripley. Yeah, this does, 3775 03:33:20,240 --> 03:33:23,840 Speaker 5: I think show part of the strategy which we saw 3776 03:33:24,040 --> 03:33:26,840 Speaker 5: and we have seen since twenty eighteen. Right like you'll 3777 03:33:26,879 --> 03:33:29,560 Speaker 5: remember that let's of Engio volunteers and twenty eighteen were 3778 03:33:29,560 --> 03:33:31,880 Speaker 5: placed on a watch list, as were many journalists for 3779 03:33:31,959 --> 03:33:36,400 Speaker 5: crossing to cover the migrant caravan. But this idea that 3780 03:33:36,720 --> 03:33:41,160 Speaker 5: the NGOs are quote aiding and a vetting is a 3781 03:33:41,200 --> 03:33:44,440 Speaker 5: phrase you always see, right like that that somehow people 3782 03:33:44,480 --> 03:33:47,760 Speaker 5: would come here if it wasn't for NGOs. Often this 3783 03:33:47,879 --> 03:33:50,879 Speaker 5: takes on a specific form of blaming one NGO, which 3784 03:33:50,959 --> 03:33:54,840 Speaker 5: is highest orus Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society rate, and. 3785 03:33:54,920 --> 03:33:57,440 Speaker 2: We sire one guess as to why they blame that one. 3786 03:33:57,680 --> 03:34:01,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like repeat guest of the show Anti Semitism 3787 03:34:01,680 --> 03:34:05,320 Speaker 5: coming back again, which resulted directly in the in the 3788 03:34:05,360 --> 03:34:08,080 Speaker 5: Tree of Life shooting, right like, this is of that 3789 03:34:08,280 --> 03:34:11,120 Speaker 5: same intellectual family of thought. I guess that is what 3790 03:34:11,240 --> 03:34:14,080 Speaker 5: I will say as Ludacris. People come here because their 3791 03:34:14,160 --> 03:34:18,920 Speaker 5: lives are not Liverpool, where they're at. That's what I 3792 03:34:18,959 --> 03:34:20,279 Speaker 5: got played, play the song. 3793 03:34:24,240 --> 03:34:33,000 Speaker 3: Rocky jazz, righty jazz, Sorry, rocky jazz. 3794 03:34:33,640 --> 03:34:34,279 Speaker 23: Rocky. 3795 03:34:36,640 --> 03:34:41,200 Speaker 3: All right, So there is actually a surprising amount of 3796 03:34:41,520 --> 03:34:45,160 Speaker 3: tariff news. All right, the tariff freebate checks. Are we 3797 03:34:45,320 --> 03:34:50,400 Speaker 3: getting terrorff freebate checks? I think probably not? So what 3798 03:34:50,640 --> 03:34:53,560 Speaker 3: is this? Trump started talking about this on November eighth 3799 03:34:53,840 --> 03:35:00,360 Speaker 3: on True Social USA. Today he truthed, she used to 3800 03:35:00,400 --> 03:35:03,720 Speaker 3: call it truth. I am recommending to Senate Republicans that 3801 03:35:03,760 --> 03:35:05,920 Speaker 3: the hundreds of billions of dollars is the hundreds of 3802 03:35:05,959 --> 03:35:09,400 Speaker 3: billions are capitalized for reasons that are baffling, currently being 3803 03:35:09,520 --> 03:35:13,160 Speaker 3: sent to money sucking insurance companies in order to save 3804 03:35:13,280 --> 03:35:17,080 Speaker 3: the bad healthcare provided by Obamacare be directly sent to 3805 03:35:17,320 --> 03:35:19,600 Speaker 3: the people so that they can purchase their own healthcare, 3806 03:35:19,959 --> 03:35:24,200 Speaker 3: their own much better health care. And so originally this 3807 03:35:24,360 --> 03:35:26,160 Speaker 3: was going to be like a two thousand dollars thing 3808 03:35:26,240 --> 03:35:29,720 Speaker 3: to your health savings account from tariff proceeds or something. 3809 03:35:30,240 --> 03:35:33,040 Speaker 3: And then the second time he stopped talking about the 3810 03:35:33,040 --> 03:35:34,640 Speaker 3: health savings account stuff, and he was just saying a 3811 03:35:34,720 --> 03:35:38,320 Speaker 3: two thousand dollars check the USA today. The piece notes 3812 03:35:38,360 --> 03:35:40,880 Speaker 3: that the Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessett, said and 3813 03:35:40,959 --> 03:35:44,760 Speaker 3: ABC News on November ninth, which was Sunday, that trust 3814 03:35:45,000 --> 03:35:48,600 Speaker 3: proposed tariff dividend could come in a lot of forms, 3815 03:35:48,680 --> 03:35:51,040 Speaker 3: adding it could just be the tax decreases that we 3816 03:35:51,120 --> 03:35:53,880 Speaker 3: are seeing on the president's agenda. No tax on tips, 3817 03:35:53,959 --> 03:35:57,000 Speaker 3: no tax in overtime, no taxes, social Security, deductibility of 3818 03:35:57,040 --> 03:36:01,000 Speaker 3: auto loans. He said, so those are subtance ancial deductions 3819 03:36:01,000 --> 03:36:04,240 Speaker 3: that are being financed to the tax bill. So he 3820 03:36:04,280 --> 03:36:07,760 Speaker 3: apparently like hadn't heard any of this is what it 3821 03:36:07,840 --> 03:36:11,120 Speaker 3: seems like. And then a few days later this was 3822 03:36:11,200 --> 03:36:15,240 Speaker 3: this was yesterday. On Wednesday the twelfth, Caroline Levitt used 3823 03:36:15,280 --> 03:36:19,440 Speaker 3: the ghoulish press secretary said that Trump is quote committed 3824 03:36:19,520 --> 03:36:22,600 Speaker 3: to the payments, So who knows. You can't call her 3825 03:36:22,720 --> 03:36:25,280 Speaker 3: ghoulish just because she's a twenty seven year old woman 3826 03:36:25,280 --> 03:36:28,720 Speaker 3: who looks like that, Yeah, that's not cool. Hey, you 3827 03:36:28,720 --> 03:36:30,400 Speaker 3: know what, we're not gonna're going We're not gonna do this. 3828 03:36:30,480 --> 03:36:33,480 Speaker 3: But she she is ghoulish, not because she looks like 3829 03:36:33,560 --> 03:36:35,120 Speaker 3: she's forty and she's just. 3830 03:36:36,760 --> 03:36:37,760 Speaker 2: Like a ghoul, but like. 3831 03:36:39,280 --> 03:36:41,879 Speaker 3: No, but like she also acts like a ghoul constantly, 3832 03:36:41,959 --> 03:36:44,000 Speaker 3: which is the actual thing that she is ghoulish for. 3833 03:36:44,600 --> 03:36:48,160 Speaker 4: Right, Every press secretary I've ever seen has made me 3834 03:36:48,440 --> 03:36:53,040 Speaker 4: so mad, Like the job of a press secretary is infuriating. 3835 03:36:53,360 --> 03:36:55,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, remember the sake bombs. 3836 03:36:55,840 --> 03:36:58,760 Speaker 3: Well, also like they've never been good. They also did 3837 03:36:58,920 --> 03:37:01,160 Speaker 3: used to be more normal than this, Like they didn't 3838 03:37:01,200 --> 03:37:02,879 Speaker 3: used to be this unhinted. 3839 03:37:03,640 --> 03:37:05,760 Speaker 5: Didn't bring him back. I feel like like like the 3840 03:37:05,840 --> 03:37:08,000 Speaker 5: first Trump had been moved a min a certain way. 3841 03:37:09,879 --> 03:37:13,520 Speaker 3: Too. It's just awful, terrible stuff. Didn't used to be 3842 03:37:13,680 --> 03:37:15,440 Speaker 3: like this. What are the few things I'll ever say 3843 03:37:15,440 --> 03:37:18,040 Speaker 3: that anyway? As you were saying, yeah, so so, she 3844 03:37:18,160 --> 03:37:21,040 Speaker 3: said that Trump is committed to the payments. I again, 3845 03:37:21,440 --> 03:37:25,160 Speaker 3: I don't think we're gonna see this, probably not definitely, 3846 03:37:25,240 --> 03:37:28,440 Speaker 3: don't plan on having x two thousand dollars. I think 3847 03:37:28,520 --> 03:37:31,200 Speaker 3: he's I think he's committed to the payments as much 3848 03:37:31,200 --> 03:37:33,680 Speaker 3: as he is his like first or second wife. Yeah, 3849 03:37:33,720 --> 03:37:36,840 Speaker 3: which is not much so. The second, the second incredibly 3850 03:37:36,879 --> 03:37:40,520 Speaker 3: important piece of tariff news is the pasta tariffs. The 3851 03:37:40,560 --> 03:37:46,840 Speaker 3: Department of Commerce seven percent pasta tariffs on imported Italian pasta. 3852 03:37:49,240 --> 03:37:49,720 Speaker 2: Garrison. 3853 03:37:50,680 --> 03:37:51,560 Speaker 3: The first tariff. 3854 03:37:53,280 --> 03:37:56,280 Speaker 2: It's still available. You can still get your mac. 3855 03:37:56,640 --> 03:37:56,800 Speaker 5: You know. 3856 03:37:57,080 --> 03:37:57,560 Speaker 2: It's okay. 3857 03:37:58,560 --> 03:38:01,320 Speaker 3: As as as the Guardian that most pasta in the 3858 03:38:01,520 --> 03:38:04,119 Speaker 3: US is made in the US, so it's not really 3859 03:38:04,160 --> 03:38:07,680 Speaker 3: affected by those cares. Yeah, hold hold on, let me 3860 03:38:07,760 --> 03:38:09,720 Speaker 3: let me allow me to finish the sentence hears in, 3861 03:38:09,879 --> 03:38:16,360 Speaker 3: I will address t hu. So it's it's mostly just gluten. 3862 03:38:16,520 --> 03:38:20,840 Speaker 3: It's mostly gluten free pasta. And also like imported fancy pasta, 3863 03:38:20,920 --> 03:38:23,520 Speaker 3: which is like nice little pasta, Well fancy is a 3864 03:38:23,560 --> 03:38:26,080 Speaker 3: bit of okay, it's like two dollars more. 3865 03:38:26,160 --> 03:38:29,680 Speaker 5: Okay, attack some pretension, you know, and. 3866 03:38:29,800 --> 03:38:31,600 Speaker 3: So this but this sucks for people who like pasta, 3867 03:38:31,680 --> 03:38:33,760 Speaker 3: that's good. And also for people who ARESI to gluten 3868 03:38:33,879 --> 03:38:35,520 Speaker 3: or who just are trying to reduce the amount of 3869 03:38:35,520 --> 03:38:38,040 Speaker 3: gluten they're eating for diabetic reasons, et cetera, et cetera. 3870 03:38:38,800 --> 03:38:42,720 Speaker 3: That all really sucks. In that same piece, Yeah, that 3871 03:38:42,760 --> 03:38:47,640 Speaker 3: same Guardian piece, the unbelievably named Scott ketch Him, who 3872 03:38:47,760 --> 03:38:50,320 Speaker 3: is the founder of like an artismal. 3873 03:38:52,040 --> 03:38:54,720 Speaker 2: Ketch him is the real last name.

Scott Ketchum agrees that the manufacturers will quote 3905 03:40:25,640 --> 03:40:28,320 Speaker 3: take advantage of the news and slightly raise their prices. 3906 03:40:28,360 --> 03:40:31,520 Speaker 3: That's just business, he said, So this actually probably will 3907 03:40:31,640 --> 03:40:35,240 Speaker 3: increase pasta prices across the board because the US is 3908 03:40:35,280 --> 03:40:37,359 Speaker 3: as a justification for raising prices. 3909 03:40:37,440 --> 03:40:40,480 Speaker 5: Canonically, how old is ashketching?

Trump has become obsessed with the 3919 03:41:04,520 --> 03:41:10,200 Speaker 3: idea of fifty year mortgages. Just an idea, so unhinged 3920 03:41:10,560 --> 03:41:15,680 Speaker 3: I have any Republicans talk about positively. The mortgage industry 3921 03:41:15,920 --> 03:41:18,000 Speaker 3: is like, don't do this. This is a bad idea. 3922 03:41:19,000 --> 03:41:20,920 Speaker 3: I'm not going to read the full paragraph I had 3923 03:41:20,959 --> 03:41:23,080 Speaker 3: here from CNN, but you know, CNN did a very 3924 03:41:23,120 --> 03:41:26,440 Speaker 3: basic calculation of instead of a thirty year fixed mortgage, 3925 03:41:26,440 --> 03:41:30,400 Speaker 3: a fifty year fixed mortgage. So the basically their calculation 3926 03:41:30,520 --> 03:41:32,480 Speaker 3: on like a four hundred and fifty thousand dollars house 3927 03:41:32,640 --> 03:41:35,080 Speaker 3: was that you would save about three hundred dollars a 3928 03:41:35,120 --> 03:41:38,040 Speaker 3: month technically, but over the course of the loan, instead 3929 03:41:38,080 --> 03:41:42,160 Speaker 3: of spending about five hundred and fifty thousand dollars in interest, 3930 03:41:42,200 --> 03:41:44,119 Speaker 3: you would spend a million dollars in interest. 3931 03:41:44,560 --> 03:41:47,800 Speaker 5: And yeah, that's that we save money, But give me 3932 03:41:47,920 --> 03:41:49,400 Speaker 5: half a million dollars to the bank. 3933 03:41:49,680 --> 03:41:52,040 Speaker 2: Well, hey, you're not even talking about the fifteen year 3934 03:41:52,120 --> 03:41:52,800 Speaker 2: auto loans. 3935 03:41:53,720 --> 03:41:57,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone who. 3936 03:41:57,560 --> 03:41:59,879 Speaker 2: Buys a Kiya can trust that it will keep working 3937 03:42:00,080 --> 03:42:01,000 Speaker 2: for fifteen years. 3938 03:42:01,160 --> 03:42:02,840 Speaker 5: He's gonna say he's. 3939 03:42:03,480 --> 03:42:06,880 Speaker 3: Worn't lasting fifty years. They're made like cardboard, right, Like 3940 03:42:06,959 --> 03:42:07,280 Speaker 3: they're just. 3941 03:42:07,320 --> 03:42:10,640 Speaker 5: Kind of more than twice the value of the house 3942 03:42:10,720 --> 03:42:11,360 Speaker 5: in interest. 3943 03:42:12,520 --> 03:42:16,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, make America affordable again. Yeah, okay, unbelievable. And then 3944 03:42:16,840 --> 03:42:19,520 Speaker 3: finally I want to close with what is actually going 3945 03:42:19,560 --> 03:42:21,879 Speaker 3: on with the jobs and inflation numbers for October because 3946 03:42:21,879 --> 03:42:23,320 Speaker 3: I think people are getting a lot of very bad 3947 03:42:23,360 --> 03:42:25,640 Speaker 3: information about this, I mean, and it's not their fault. 3948 03:42:26,120 --> 03:42:30,080 Speaker 4: It's again because the Democrats shutdown made it impossible to 3949 03:42:30,120 --> 03:42:32,560 Speaker 4: get any reliable data. So now we can never have 3950 03:42:32,720 --> 03:42:33,480 Speaker 4: data ever again. 3951 03:42:34,200 --> 03:42:36,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, so okay, okay, so let's let's let let's let 3952 03:42:36,760 --> 03:42:38,119 Speaker 3: let's go into like what is it? What is actually 3953 03:42:38,160 --> 03:42:41,480 Speaker 3: going on here? So on Wednesday, Caroline Levitt said that 3954 03:42:41,600 --> 03:42:45,000 Speaker 3: we might not ever get October the October jobs and 3955 03:42:45,080 --> 03:42:49,840 Speaker 3: inflation data. Oops. So however, Comma, I'm sure this numbers 3956 03:42:49,879 --> 03:42:51,440 Speaker 3: would have been fine. Comma. 3957 03:42:51,560 --> 03:42:54,040 Speaker 5: Let's spirit Halloween bump would have been huge, Comma. 3958 03:42:54,160 --> 03:42:58,680 Speaker 3: On Thursday, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, who, by 3959 03:42:58,720 --> 03:43:00,600 Speaker 3: the way, is the guy who's whole thing is that 3960 03:43:00,680 --> 03:43:03,880 Speaker 3: he wants to he wants to impose taxes on holding 3961 03:43:04,040 --> 03:43:07,920 Speaker 3: US bonds, the worst maybe the only idea I've ever seen, 3962 03:43:09,320 --> 03:43:13,680 Speaker 3: fifty year mortgage astonishingly bad ideas. But he said on 3963 03:43:13,800 --> 03:43:16,760 Speaker 3: Fox News this is today as day of recording, said 3964 03:43:16,800 --> 03:43:18,400 Speaker 3: on Fox News that we're going to get some of 3965 03:43:18,520 --> 03:43:21,080 Speaker 3: the data, but the data we're supposed to get is 3966 03:43:21,520 --> 03:43:23,920 Speaker 3: very weird. Now, so this is the September data we're 3967 03:43:23,920 --> 03:43:26,440 Speaker 3: supposed to get next week because that was already recorded 3968 03:43:26,480 --> 03:43:30,120 Speaker 3: before the before they got mention. Right, Yeah, and there 3969 03:43:30,280 --> 03:43:34,120 Speaker 3: is legitimately even in a sort of not if a 3970 03:43:34,280 --> 03:43:36,720 Speaker 3: normal Bureau of Labor Statistics was trying to get these 3971 03:43:36,720 --> 03:43:39,840 Speaker 3: statistics out, it would be a little difficult for them. However, 3972 03:43:40,480 --> 03:43:44,200 Speaker 3: come we're only getting the jobs added numbers and not 3973 03:43:44,440 --> 03:43:45,879 Speaker 3: the job lost numbers. 3974 03:43:46,320 --> 03:43:50,600 Speaker 5: Oh wow, what a great strategy. 3975 03:43:51,240 --> 03:43:53,120 Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm sure that I'm sure that number is fine. 3976 03:43:53,160 --> 03:43:56,920 Speaker 4: I'm sure it's not negative seventy thousand jobs or something. 3977 03:43:57,400 --> 03:44:00,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. Right, and you know, and apparently, let's be as 3978 03:44:00,200 --> 03:44:03,120 Speaker 3: the survey the collected information never went out, and I 3979 03:44:03,800 --> 03:44:06,000 Speaker 3: mean it probably didn't because of the shutdown, but also 3980 03:44:06,240 --> 03:44:09,320 Speaker 3: like you could, you could work this out, they're just 3981 03:44:09,400 --> 03:44:12,440 Speaker 3: not doing it. We talked a few months ago about 3982 03:44:12,440 --> 03:44:14,680 Speaker 3: Trump's attempt to take over the Buer of Labor Statistics, 3983 03:44:15,120 --> 03:44:18,360 Speaker 3: which with his attempt to install the hideously incompetent Heritage 3984 03:44:18,360 --> 03:44:20,800 Speaker 3: Foundation economists and I use that term very loosely here, 3985 03:44:21,280 --> 03:44:23,480 Speaker 3: uh EJ and TONI and Trump was actually forced to 3986 03:44:23,600 --> 03:44:26,080 Speaker 3: like pull back on installing this guys ahead of a 3987 03:44:26,080 --> 03:44:28,360 Speaker 3: Buera of Labor Satistics. So it's being run by the 3988 03:44:28,440 --> 03:44:31,440 Speaker 3: interim head and has been for a long time now. 3989 03:44:32,280 --> 03:44:34,959 Speaker 3: But it seems like A there's conflicting information going out 3990 03:44:35,000 --> 03:44:37,119 Speaker 3: and B it does seem like Trump has been able 3991 03:44:37,160 --> 03:44:39,400 Speaker 3: to get a decent amount of control over the beer 3992 03:44:39,440 --> 03:44:42,880 Speaker 3: of libor Sitistics, which is supposed to be a nonpartisan 3993 03:44:42,959 --> 03:44:46,280 Speaker 3: body that just releases the data because everyone in the 3994 03:44:46,400 --> 03:44:49,240 Speaker 3: entire capitals economy reclied relies on it. And it is 3995 03:44:49,400 --> 03:44:52,160 Speaker 3: possible that this is that we have already gotten our 3996 03:44:52,280 --> 03:44:55,240 Speaker 3: last unbrigged like beeer of labor statistics reports. I mean, 3997 03:44:55,280 --> 03:44:57,760 Speaker 3: I can't confirm that they're straight up breaking it. And 3998 03:44:57,840 --> 03:45:01,040 Speaker 3: it's also possible that oh, well, this wasn't the product 3999 03:45:01,080 --> 03:45:03,360 Speaker 3: of that, and we are going to get some of 4000 03:45:03,520 --> 03:45:06,400 Speaker 3: the data like we are supposed to get inflation numbers 4001 03:45:08,040 --> 03:45:10,160 Speaker 3: by it's not good. Oops. 4002 03:45:11,200 --> 03:45:17,959 Speaker 4: Well to end on some good news, I guess. On Monday, 4003 03:45:18,200 --> 03:45:21,160 Speaker 4: this Supreme Court rejected a call to overturn or here 4004 03:45:21,200 --> 03:45:26,480 Speaker 4: it's a previous ruling on legalizing same sex marriage nation wide. 4005 03:45:27,200 --> 03:45:29,000 Speaker 4: So this is where this is where they're this is 4006 03:45:29,040 --> 03:45:31,880 Speaker 4: where they're drawing the line right now? Is this I 4007 03:45:32,000 --> 03:45:34,560 Speaker 4: think I think I did predict this a few months 4008 03:45:34,600 --> 03:45:37,320 Speaker 4: ago and in which people got a little bit mad 4009 03:45:37,360 --> 03:45:38,959 Speaker 4: at me for saying that I didn't think they were 4010 03:45:39,040 --> 03:45:41,720 Speaker 4: going to pick this one up another w in the 4011 03:45:41,760 --> 03:45:44,000 Speaker 4: Ghar column. But I think it is fairly interesting that 4012 03:45:44,080 --> 03:45:48,560 Speaker 4: this is this is the point in which they're like, nah, nah, 4013 03:45:48,640 --> 03:45:50,720 Speaker 4: it's not worth it. Like this, this is more settled 4014 03:45:50,760 --> 03:45:53,800 Speaker 4: to them than even the abortion thing was. I think 4015 03:45:54,120 --> 03:45:56,800 Speaker 4: I think some of the general like economic issues, shows 4016 03:45:56,840 --> 03:45:58,960 Speaker 4: that there is not a real desire for pushing on 4017 03:45:59,080 --> 03:46:03,320 Speaker 4: this right now, based on you know, gestures broadly at 4018 03:46:03,360 --> 03:46:05,760 Speaker 4: other economy stuff and some of the some of the 4019 03:46:05,920 --> 03:46:09,600 Speaker 4: some of the anti woke fuel maybe maybe running out 4020 03:46:09,760 --> 03:46:12,760 Speaker 4: as the as the economic situation becomes more and more 4021 03:46:13,560 --> 03:46:18,560 Speaker 4: dire dire, right Like, how much longer can the Republicans 4022 03:46:18,680 --> 03:46:21,840 Speaker 4: just scream about trans people as they're ruining the economy? 4023 03:46:21,920 --> 03:46:23,200 Speaker 4: Do you think that's going to still work for them 4024 03:46:23,240 --> 03:46:24,119 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six? 4025 03:46:24,959 --> 03:46:25,320 Speaker 3: Maybe not. 4026 03:46:25,560 --> 03:46:27,240 Speaker 4: They might be scared that they've put all of their 4027 03:46:27,320 --> 03:46:29,760 Speaker 4: eggs in this whole anti wok culture basket, and now 4028 03:46:29,800 --> 03:46:32,160 Speaker 4: that they're in charge and the country's still getting worse, 4029 03:46:32,240 --> 03:46:35,040 Speaker 4: they're like, well, I wonder if we can replay that 4030 03:46:35,200 --> 03:46:35,920 Speaker 4: card again or not. 4031 03:46:36,959 --> 03:46:39,120 Speaker 3: As a final economy note, I want to note that 4032 03:46:39,280 --> 03:46:44,600 Speaker 3: soft Bank sold all of their shares in Nvidia Share. 4033 03:46:44,680 --> 03:46:47,000 Speaker 3: Don't worry about it, It's part of regular stalk rotation. 4034 03:46:47,120 --> 03:46:50,920 Speaker 3: It's fine.
