1
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: Okay, guys, we are back on normally. The show What

2
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: Normalis takes for windsay she just gets.

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: Weird in Mary Captain him, and I'm Karl Marco Riz.

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 2: How was your weekend, Mary Captain?

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: It was good. I did a quick up and back

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: to New York City and I saw two matches at

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 1: the US Open, which I thought before wonderful. Tennis is awesome.

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not a huge tennis person, but I feel

9
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 2: like I have to follow it a little bit living

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: in South Florida because everyone here is like full on

11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: obsessed with it. I don't know if you saw claim

12
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: Buck had this whole thing back and forth that that

13
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: bus could hit the tennis ball. I think I was

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: one hundred miles broad. He came close, though, like on

15
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 2: his initial thing, and he's like, I feel like, if

16
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: I got trained for this, I could totally do it.

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: I rooted for him. I believe that he could train

18
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: up to it because he got pretty close he did. Yeah,

19
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: the serves I was seeing yesterday were like one hundred

20
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: and fourteen miles an hour. Tennis is something that I

21
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: feel like I sho take up and take into my

22
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: old age. I'm gonna work on that there's I know,

23
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: pickleball is very, very popular. It's almost triggering my oppositional

24
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: defiance disorder, and I don't want to be into it. Interesting.

25
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know, but the pickleball and

26
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: the tennis communities like they fight to the death, like

27
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: they hate each other, and even though there's some crossover,

28
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: but they.

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: Like court space exactly. Perhaps I should do both and

30
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: mediate this conflict interest in both communities or neither. But yeah,

31
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: I'll keep you posting. Let us know.

32
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: So as we are recording this, President Trump is expected

33
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: to sign an executive order ending cashless bail by threatening

34
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: to revoke federal funding for jurisdictions across the country that

35
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: have this cashless fail. It's interesting because I've seen a

36
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: few different liberals on X commenting things like, shouldn't conservatives

37
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: not want the federal government used in this? Well, yeah,

38
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: but that's a battle you waged and I lost. Congratulations.

39
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it really. There is this thing where they

40
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: demand like that conservatives just unilaterally disarm after they have

41
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: escalated four him sometimes and sometimes I do argue against it.

42
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes I say that's not the right thing to do.

43
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: We don't want to ratchet this up, But it's really

44
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: hard to to make that argument exactly.

45
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: Trump is flexing the power that you wanted presidents to have.

46
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 2: You won, look at you go.

47
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, these things specifically about Trump that cracks me

48
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: up in people's response to him is that the same

49
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: people now who cry fascism at anything at the drop

50
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: of a hat wanted him to be a fascist in

51
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, much harder, much than he was willing to

52
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: be right, and they're just lock us down, put us

53
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: in our host forever.

54
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, with they you know, with the vaccine from far away,

55
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: like anything.

56
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, just as heavy handed as possible. And in this

57
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: case sometimes I disagree with him, but at least he's

58
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: heavy handed in the attempt to target people who are breaking.

59
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 2: Up crime, right, people want to like, Yeah.

60
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: People are making life worse for others protecting citizens against

61
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: violent crime because in the cashlest bail situation, people get

62
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: out of jail very quickly, reoffend very quickly because there's

63
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: the message that they're not going to pay a price

64
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: for this. Yeah.

65
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: And I can't take Democrats serious with this outrage thing.

66
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: Andrew Wilcow posted a picture from New York from the

67
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: subway station in New York City where there are National

68
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: Guards troops in the subway stations because Governor Kathy Hochel

69
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: called them up because they were having such problems with crime.

70
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: Nobody's saying, oh, she's a fascist or this is the

71
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: second coming of Hitler. They're just saying, like, oh, she's

72
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: trying to fight crime. That's a good thing, because that's

73
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: a good thing. Right.

74
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 1: No, of course it's a good if you're a Democrat. Right. JB.

75
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: Prisker had a piece, I believe this weekend in the

76
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: New York Times that said, you know, Trump's cracked down

77
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: on crime will just create more crime. Yeah, And I'm like, look,

78
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: I am willing to listen to the argument that there

79
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: are very serious trade offs for having a heavy law

80
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: enforcement or military presence in your town for an extended

81
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: period of time. Noted civil libertarian understand you can't make

82
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: the argument that it will make crime worse. In the

83
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: week that it made zero murders right the Washington d C. Yeah,

84
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: but that's I think zero murders is good. Yeah.

85
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 2: I feel like we need to find somebody who doesn't

86
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: think zero murders is good and ask them why they

87
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: think that. But Democrats just refuse to answer that, and

88
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 2: they just keep screaming fascist at us. And so the

89
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: thing with this cash list bail is, and you know,

90
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: we've talked about this a lot on the show, but

91
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: I used to be a outspoken proponent of that bail

92
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: was too high. You'd read stories and somebody would be

93
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 2: arrested for shoplifting and the bail would be twenty thousand

94
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: dollars and true story, and I would say, you know,

95
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 2: twenty thousand could be twenty million.

96
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: For certain somebody else. It doesn't. Actually, it's crazy. It should.

97
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: It should line up with whether they're a flight risk.

98
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 2: So Democrats took this sane opinion of let's reduce bail

99
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: and said how about no bail? And then nobody came back,

100
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 2: A fewer people started coming back to their court dates.

101
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: Crime went up because the people would reoffend as soon

102
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 2: as they exited, you know, the jail. And it didn't work.

103
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: It didn't work, And Democrats now need to face it

104
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: that they went too far with an idea that someone

105
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: like me would have agreed with. Now I can't agree

106
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 2: with anything that you guys say.

107
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: This is like they always know because they've they've lost

108
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: me to some extent on criminal justice reform because I

109
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: was very I am very much and I think still

110
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: in the group of people that's in the Van Jones

111
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: Trump Alliance of the First Steps Act or something right

112
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: that does give non violent offenders a way to come back,

113
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: that burdens more non violent offenders, that kind of thing,

114
00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: just so that you don't have people who are in

115
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: the grinder for their entire lives because they did one

116
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: nonviolent thing. I think that's good, right, But they go

117
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,799
Speaker 1: so far and then they demonize law enforcement, all law enforcement,

118
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: and they say they should defund all of law enforcement, right,

119
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: and then you watch twenty twenty summer and you go, no, right,

120
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: I will not be standing with you guys on this

121
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: issue because you can't keep it together exactly.

122
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: There's so much of that, and they step all over

123
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 2: their own cause. I mean, the thing is that the

124
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: left controls the Democrats. They are just afraid of their left.

125
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: They feel like they have to cater to them, and

126
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: you have to keep ratcheting up the rhetoric and the

127
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: policies to go with it, which is why you have

128
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: When the defund police things started and all these Democrats

129
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: were like, we don't really mean defund police, and all

130
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: their leftist activists would post, no, we literally need to

131
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: fund the police.

132
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: So that's where we are. We have more on this

133
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: actually when we come back, because there's a group of

134
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: sane Democrats who have a group of words that they

135
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: would not like Democrats to say, and it aligns with

136
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: this idea, So we'll have more on that when we

137
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: come back on normally. All right, we are back on

138
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: normally with a semi regular segment, which is what the

139
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: heck is going on with Democrats, And as I alluded to,

140
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: there's there's some signs of life with the sane people

141
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: that I'm going to get to first and then we

142
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: can get to the insane people. Third Way, which is

143
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: sort of a centristy moderate Democrat group often demonized by

144
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: the left in the Democratic Party, there's a memo circulating

145
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: with blacklisted words that Democrat candidates should not use. Do

146
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: you want to hear them? Here are the terms privilege,

147
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 1: violence as an environmental violence, dialoguing, triggering, dialoguing, other ring, microaggression,

148
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: holding space. That's a good one, yeah, Body shaming, subverting norms,

149
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: systems of oppressure, and cultural appropriation. Over to the window

150
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: existential threat to climate, democracy, economy, radical transparency, stakeholders, unhoused,

151
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: food insecurity, housing insecurity, Yeah, person who ever gonted birthing,

152
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: person cys gender dead, naming, heteronormous. It goes on and

153
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: on and on. I actually don't know what they're gonna

154
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: say now.

155
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I posted that on X, I said, but this

156
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: is literally their whole vocabulary. I literally don't know what

157
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: else they can say. This list is amazing because every

158
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: one of those phrases is vaguely embarrassing. And I understand

159
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: why Democrats are newly embarrassed by this, But you've been

160
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: talking like this for a really long time, and I

161
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 2: don't know. Heteronormative is actually a great one to talk

162
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: about because I remember, and this is going back I

163
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 2: don't even know. This is early two thousands, mid two thousands,

164
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 2: where Jada Pinkett Smith gave a speech on a college

165
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: campus and this is like what I call my first

166
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: moment of realizing something was shifting. And she gave us

167
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 2: each and she talked about people getting married and having

168
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 2: kids and that kind of thing, and her speech was

169
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 2: criticized for being heteronormative. The first time I ever heard

170
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 2: that term and this is a long time ago. This is,

171
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: you know, decades ago now, and so to work these

172
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: words out of their vocabulary now is going to be tough.

173
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is really tough. And there is this idea.

174
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: There's a bit of pushback on this from pundits of

175
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: the left who say, or representatives of left who say, well, now,

176
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: you're just playing this game where anyone who's coded left,

177
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: an elected Democrat or someone campaigning as a Democrat has

178
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: to answer for these weird words that they don't really use.

179
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: And I'm like, are you kidding me? You guys have

180
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: been using these words right on the rest of us

181
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: to impose whatever insanity you want for many, many years.

182
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: This is not only an activist problem. You are led

183
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: around by your activists, and every party has some of

184
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: that to some extent. But wow, to pretend that this

185
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: is like a new standard that you're placing on right

186
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: democratic candidates that's coming from nowhere. No, no, no. As someone

187
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: pointed out, the first page of the Democratic Party platform

188
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: at the DNC was a land acknowledgement. The one page

189
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: one those are your people.

190
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: That's just the case. And you know, I hear all

191
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 2: the time that when you go to college tours. They

192
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 2: all start with land acknowledgments, and it's like, this is

193
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 2: who you're listening to, Like, doofye eighteen year olds who

194
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: came up with stuff like this and now it's part

195
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: of your party, you know, party platform, party ideas, and

196
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: you know, I would just say one of the phrases

197
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 2: not on the list, but I always like to throw

198
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: back at them. Sit in your discomfort with these phrases.

199
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: Do the work.

200
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, the work right, I'm not gonna I'm not going

201
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 2: to explain things to you.

202
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: Good luck to them. I do think this is Yeah,

203
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tricky because they have learned. This goes

204
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: back to the problem of like they need their own

205
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan again, Joe Rogan is a liberal, but they

206
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: think they need their own Joe Rogan. The thing they're

207
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: missing is freedom to speak. They don't feel that they

208
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: feel that they must use these words because they will

209
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: be absolutely crucified for not using them, and so to

210
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 1: get away from them feels like the opposite of being

211
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: a good Democrat. But they have to get on the

212
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: other side of this vibe shift or they are in trouble.

213
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's going on in Virginia. Let's tell us about this.

214
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: Oh something something good, Carol, This one's crazy. Actually I

215
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: checked this like four times to make sure it wasn't

216
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: photoshopped or something. Indeed it was not. So the Arlington

217
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: Public Schools had a school board meeting. Arlington Public Schools,

218
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: along with several other Northern Virginia school districts, have had

219
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: all sorts of scandals in the past several months. The

220
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: one in Arlington in particular is that the gender bathroom

221
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: policies allowed a fifty something child sex offender to go

222
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: into a women's facility in a local high school and

223
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: expose himself. Does that bad to minors? Yeah? And so

224
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of parents are like, hey, what are you

225
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: doing about this? And Nick Monok, the local reporter, who

226
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: must be commended for staying on these stories, is like, hey,

227
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: what are you guys going to do about this? And

228
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: the Arly New Public Schools is basically like nothing. We think.

229
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: We think our policy is good and it's on the

230
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: opposite side of Trump, so we're fine to be good. Yeah. Yeah.

231
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: So there's a gathering at the school board meeting and

232
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: wins Seers, who is the Republican running for governor.

233
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 2: Here lieutenant governor.

234
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: Current lieutenant governor shows up to speak at this meeting

235
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: because Abigail Spanberger, the allegedly normy Democrat running for governor,

236
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: can't muster any statements on any of the great giant

237
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: controversies happening northern Virginia schools, especially on these gender policies,

238
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: because she would have to get on the right side

239
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: of the left and that will make her not appealing

240
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: to many in Virginia. So when some sears shows up

241
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: to speak at this meeting, she is notably an African American.

242
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: She is she would be the first female black governor

243
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: of the state of Virginia. She's a Marine, she's an immigrant,

244
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: she has a great life story. She's speaking inside outside

245
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: a gathering of as is often the case, boomer Libs

246
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: in Arlington very very affluent.

247
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: You see them everywhere.

248
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: You see them, ever, and one of them is carrying

249
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: a sign that says this, Hey, Winsome, if trans can't

250
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: share your bathroom, then blacks can't share my water fountain.

251
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: She really thought that was a wind when she came

252
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: up with that sign. She's like, I got her.

253
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: I I was joking, Like can you imagine, like the

254
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: husband and the family or friends who were like, girl,

255
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: you can't, I can't leave with that. And then they

256
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: just you know, they got steamrolled by her. Right, And as.

257
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: I say what I want, Yeah.

258
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: Exactly, And as there's a there's a guy, Ben Tribbett

259
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: who's a trustworthy, smart Democrat who works specifically in Virginia

260
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: politics and knows a lot about their activist base. He

261
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: pegged that she was from this door knocking activist far

262
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: left group, and he said, look, like, wake up to

263
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: the Karen problem that we do have. Like there's a

264
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: lot of people who have gone who have gone around

265
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: the bend. Yeah, And he's like, the problem isn't necessarily

266
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: that there was one person who used this sign. The

267
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: problem is that no one in that group of Arlington

268
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: Democrats could say, no, you can't do this.

269
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 2: This does not speak for us, right, that's crazy. Meanwhile,

270
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: Mark Broklowski, vice chair of the Virginia Democrats, he thinks

271
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 2: the sign might be the fault of the black lady.

272
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: Obviously, the lady embracing Jim Crow in public.

273
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: That'sh No, not her, that's not her fault.

274
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: No, it's not her fault.

275
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: He posted what happened in Arlington wasn't just about a meeting.

276
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: It was about the climate when some seers is creating

277
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 2: one where contempts currency, and neighbors are turning against each other.

278
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: How dare she with her It's amazing contempt is currency

279
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: and neighbors turning against each other, telling herself not to

280
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 2: use the white people found.

281
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, she did show up, you know, with her skin

282
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: in Arlington. Right, one would think that that would go okay,

283
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: but no, she disagrees with them. And what happens is

284
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: if you are a minority or a woman or an

285
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: lgbt Q person who disagrees with the left on any

286
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: given issue, you are subject to basically just whatever they

287
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: want to say to you. Yeah, and this one was

288
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: WHOA And I wonder, Look, this is a race that

289
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: is going to be a little a bit of an

290
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: uphill battle for wins Sears and Spamberger by not saying

291
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: anything about these issues. She did denounce the Sign, that's

292
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: the one thing she's been specific about. Yeah, she did

293
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: come out and denounce the Sign. She's still silent on

294
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: all these other controversies, and she is giving winsome seers

295
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: the exact same dynamic that made Youngkin governor. She is

296
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: handing it right to her, as are the public school

297
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: which can't get seen.

298
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I hope that the voters do the

299
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: right thing here and realize how bad of a governor

300
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: she would be. But yeah, I like her giving that

301
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 2: preview and kind of ducking all these issues that are

302
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 2: important to parents. Meanwhile, in my home of hometown of

303
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 2: New York City, Zora, Mom, Donnie was like at a

304
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: street fair and somebody asked him if he wanted to

305
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 2: bench press, and he said yes. Now, let me tell

306
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: you if I were running for mayor and I was

307
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: at a street fair and somebody asked me if I

308
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 2: wanted a bench press, I would know that I don't

309
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: know how to bench press.

310
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, how come he didn't know that?

311
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 2: Like, what is it that happened here? He attempted to

312
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: bench press and it failed completely? The guy holding the

313
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 2: bench press had to kind of pull it up for him.

314
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: What went wrong?

315
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: Pretty confused by this because there's not much on the bar.

316
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 2: So Frey also in like like he's clearly wasn't there

317
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 2: for this, Like it was just you know, he wanted

318
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: to seem spontaneous and cool, and that did not work out.

319
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this is just straight up Hubris. Yeah,

320
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: I think he he he's very He's quite capable as

321
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: a campaigner. He clearly has charisma. He might think he

322
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: can just do anything. Yeah, and he gets on this

323
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: bench at like whatever this men's Day was. It was

324
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: some sort of male focused celebration. He doesn't even allowed.

325
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that was permitted.

326
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, his form is bad poor. Yeah, his spotter has

327
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: to do most of the work for him. There's not

328
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: much on the bar for the uninitiated. The bar is

329
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: forty five pounds. It looks like there's a total of

330
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: a little over one hundred, like one thirty one thirty

331
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: five on this on him total. Yeah, that's not It's

332
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: not a lot for a thirty something man. And he

333
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: struggles with it. And I just think if you're running

334
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: for something, if you're a public figure, you got to know,

335
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: beyond a shadow of a doubt, what you're capable of.

336
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: You put yourself in that position. Also, in this case,

337
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: there's a standing narrative that men of the Democratic Party

338
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: are affet are liberal? Are we not do things like

339
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: lift weights? So if that's the narrative, you do everything

340
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: you can not to play into it and he did

341
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: the exact opposite.

342
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was kind of embarrassing to watch, but I

343
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 2: think you got.

344
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: A lot of attention too. I was like x CEOs

345
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 1: wrote it up.

346
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: They were like, yeah, I think Hubris is the correct.

347
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 2: Really thing there, as famous New York or Biggie Small said,

348
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: never get high on your own supply, and I think

349
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: that's exactly what Zorn I'm Donie has done here.

350
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's and here's the thing about both the racist

351
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 1: sign in Arlington or this event. The truth is that

352
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: campaigns change in these weird symbolic moments. That doesn't mean

353
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: that either one of these Democrats isn't going to win, right,

354
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: they can still win. Yeah, these are moments that stick

355
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: in people's minds. They go, oh wait, I thought that

356
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: guy was like a dude's dude. I thought he was

357
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: somebody we could mix it up with. He seemed like that. Now,

358
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: by the way, he was called Mom's scrawny. To his credit,

359
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: put up a lot of weight or put up the

360
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: same amount of wait, plenty of times with no help.

361
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: Someone else also noted, and I want to be bipartisan

362
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 1: and fair, that Jamal Bowman that's his name, right, The

363
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: guy who was primaried out that he can bench four

364
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: o five. So I just want to point it out there.

365
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: I want to be fair, good for him, good for her.

366
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: He now he's not a congressman. That's why he got

367
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: immediately stronger after he was not a Democratic congressman anymore.

368
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

369
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: Anyway, that's what a herd.

370
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: I could see that, you know, like the Democrats being like, hey,

371
00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 2: we have somebody who knows how to bench press right now,

372
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: we got.

373
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: To get this how it does. Yeah, but yeah, I

374
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: think it's I don't want to be unfair to people who,

375
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: you know, not everybody benches, not everybody lifts. No, but

376
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: know your limits before you for your limits yourself in

377
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: that position.

378
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely. We'll be right back with stories you may have

379
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:29,239
Speaker 2: missed from this wild weekend. Welcome back on normally. And

380
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 2: I have to start this one off because I think

381
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 2: that this is just sort of interesting to me that

382
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 2: this did not hit at all. Andrew Kaczynski he posts

383
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 2: under a k file. He's a CNN senior politics reporter.

384
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 2: He's known for digging up stories like really like things

385
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 2: people forgot or didn't know, and he posted over the

386
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 2: weekend that Julane Maxwell was an honored guest at prestigious

387
00:20:55,359 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 2: Clinton event in twenty thirteen, years after abuse allegation against

388
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: her were publicly known. Information we reviewed showed her on

389
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 2: a list recommended for free access by either Bill or

390
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton, per a source familiar. The weird thing about

391
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: this is it did not resonate at all. He got

392
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 2: four hundred and sixteen retweets on that, and I just

393
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: feel like that's nothing. Obviously, the left doesn't want to

394
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 2: highlight this because they're trying to tie Epstein to Donald Trump,

395
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 2: But a lot of the Epstein obsessed people on the

396
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: right didn't talk about this at all either. Now that

397
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 2: might be because Donald Trump said, we're not talking about

398
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 2: this anymore, or my own personal conspiracy theory, because we're

399
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 2: in a world of conspiracy theories with this Jeffrey Epstein.

400
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 2: Thing altogether is that a lot of the people that

401
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 2: incessantly talk about Epstein on the right are just trying

402
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 2: to hurt Trump with it. Also, So yeah, I think

403
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 2: take that with your grain of self. But that's my take.

404
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 1: Well, and I think there's a third take, which is

405
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: that in any contest between Trump's base and Trump, when

406
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: the wins, Trump is going to win. Yeah, you can

407
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: take it to the bank like that. That is the

408
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: lesson that everyone must learn. And like, sometimes I'm not

409
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: gonna like it, and sometimes I am gonna like it,

410
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: but gonna be the victor when it comes to a

411
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: break between him and his base. Yeah.

412
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 2: Another story from this weekend that I felt was a

413
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 2: little undercovered. Summer box office for Hollywood won't reach four billion,

414
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 2: which is what they thought it would. It hit about

415
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 2: three point five, which is higher than I would expect honestly,

416
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 2: because I think all of these films are terrible, and

417
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 2: I just I never go to the movies. Nothing looks

418
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 2: even remotely good to me. But some of the things

419
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 2: that they talked about being highly grossing are Lelo and Stitch,

420
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: Jurassic World Rebirth, How to Train a Dragon another one,

421
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: Superman again. Again, these are all remakes or familiar things,

422
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 2: nothing new. I don't know. Do you watch movies.

423
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: I I do not go to the movie theater often.

424
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: I would like to see Naked Gun, which is another remake,

425
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: but I have heard good things about it, and I

426
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: would like to see Naked Gun in the theater because

427
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: it's good to support comedies in the theater because I

428
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 1: want them to make more comedies, and I've heard it's

429
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: quite good. So, but it's always like best laid plans,

430
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: you know, like me getting out to a movie theater

431
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: is not easy, right, And here's the thing. My husband

432
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: used to talk about this all during the pandemic. Once

433
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: you have broken people's habits, the chances that they will

434
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: revive them the same way that they had them before

435
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: are very low. So with meeting it with going to church.

436
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: Another bad one that went by the wayside during the pandemic.

437
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: Going to theaters. The idea of taking our full family

438
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: to a theater is expensive, tough. It could be fun,

439
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 1: but it also could be a total dud depending on

440
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: what the movie does. So when I'm presented with the

441
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: choice of theater versus my home, and I am very

442
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: often because just allow me to stream it at home,

443
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick around the house, right.

444
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 2: I can't even now that you mention it, and my

445
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 2: kids are older by fifteen, twelve and nine, I don't

446
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: think we've been to a movie the five of us,

447
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 2: I mean definitely not since the pandemic twenty twenty.

448
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: Is who they need to be reaching and my families

449
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: who they need to be reaching and By the way,

450
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: they haven't figured out how to advertise to me. Instagram

451
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: ads can be served to me for any other thing.

452
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: Do I hear about children's movies? No? Never.

453
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: I didn't even know Lilan Stitch came out neither.

454
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: So I don't know how the big studios are missing

455
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: how to advertise to people like me, and they should

456
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: work on that.

457
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 2: Speaking of things that we haven't recovered from you from

458
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 2: the pandemic, the New York Times as we're going to

459
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 2: as we're airing this, just published something that they're worried

460
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 2: that all the people that left blue states now means

461
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 2: the Democrats will have a harder time winning and the

462
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 2: next census, the Democrats are going to suffer some losses. Yeah,

463
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 2: I don't feel bad for you at all.

464
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: Now. This is I remember I used to get very

465
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 1: frustrated because there wasn't an immediate political backlash for COVID policies,

466
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: and I was like, are people just going to memory

467
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: hole this? Are they not going to be mad about it?

468
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: And there was a little in Virginia where Yunkin was elected,

469
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: and then I think a larger backlash came in twenty

470
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: twenty four, and it came in people willing to vote

471
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: for Trump and moving away from the Democratic Party for

472
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: all of the insanity that they had served up from

473
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: twenty twenty to twenty twenty four. And this is like

474
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: the real deal. This one is you drove a bunch

475
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: of people out of your states with these horrible dare

476
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 1: I say, sometimes fascist and authoritarian policies. They left, they

477
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: ain't coming back, and in many places like Florida, Georgia,

478
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: they end up being converted to centrist or right leaning

479
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: people right keep those states red and then those red

480
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: states get more electoral college votes and get more representation

481
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: and Congress.

482
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 2: Or they just drove out the people who were voting

483
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 2: Republican but still represented numbers for your electoral college vote.

484
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 2: They didn't consider that, you know. I both Andrew Cuomo

485
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 2: and Kathy Hokeel made comments like if you don't like it,

486
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 2: moved to Florida, and then a bunch of us did,

487
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 2: and now they may lose electoral votes because of that,

488
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: Like you know, you're bad.

489
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, by the way, I just want to note this

490
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: because I forgot to note it in the first segment

491
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: or in our second second. But mom Donnie is suggesting

492
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: getting rid of misdemeanor charges entirely. So get ready, I

493
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: guess for another flood of thanks to Florida, because I

494
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: feel like this isn't gonna go well, yeah, the city.

495
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 2: It's pretty bad. One of the things that The New

496
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 2: York Times found in this thing Nick Corrassani Ti, who

497
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 2: posted this, he does politics voting democracy reporter for the

498
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: New York Times. He said that if a Democratic in

499
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 2: twenty thirty to a Democratic presidential candidate who wins Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin,

500
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 2: and Nevada still loses the presidency, I mean, whoopsie, really,

501
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 2: you know, maybe you should have thought of this as

502
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 2: I can let you know from my new home of Florida.

503
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, this is the blue Wall gone right.

504
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: The blue Wall has been weakened because Trump was able

505
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: to make inroads places that other Republicans were not Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin.

506
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: And this is the you know, just that on steroids,

507
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: because he did it through hard work and through appealing

508
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: to these folks, and then the Democrats helped him by

509
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: sending a bunch of folks to the South, to otherwise

510
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: red states, and the past of the presidency is going

511
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: to get much much harder for Democrats in the future.

512
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: And that's what a lot of this redistricting screaming is about, right.

513
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: It is the death throes of people who are looking

514
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: down the barrel at the twenty thirty census that's going

515
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: to be very bad for them.

516
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 2: If only someone would have said something during the pandemic

517
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 2: that all these things we're doing are going to have percussions,

518
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: Mary Catherine, why didn't anybody tell them? I know, if

519
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,960
