These are some of our favorite segments 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: from this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment 4 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 1: last stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is 5 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: the Weekly Zeitgeist. What is a myth? What's something that 6 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: people believe to be true that is not? The myth 7 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: is if you dislike Black Panther, you're a racist. I 8 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: feel like I've been seeing this and I feel like 9 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: it's such a weird And that goes back to that 10 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: guy I was talking about, because that's been what's been 11 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: driving a lot of these like edge lords of being like, oh, 12 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: people are saying if you don't like this, No one's 13 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: saying that. It's like a few fringe you know, takes 14 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: that no one's taking seriously, that it's easier for you 15 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: to buck against that, And to be honest, it's like, no, no, 16 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: we don't care, Like like black people would have been 17 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: totally fine if all white people were like, oh, we didn't. 18 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,839 Speaker 1: Like we expected that Black people went into Black Panther 19 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: expecting white people to hate it because we knew it 20 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: was made for us. And that's the beauty of it. 21 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: It's like, no, Ryan Coogler wasn't trying to make I mean, 22 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: he was trying to make a good movie that you know, 23 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: was that everyone liked, but he wasn't trying to make 24 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: it for you, Like there are lines in there. That's why. 25 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: I like one take that I heard from someone who 26 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: was like a non black person of color. They're like, 27 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: you know, some of the lines seemed forced, and it's 28 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: like that's a take of someone who who it just 29 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: wasn't for, because I'm sure it was all the like, well, 30 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: well no, no, that was a solid joke. I think 31 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: it was lines like whereas like all people come from here, 32 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: so aren't what Condon's all your people like? It's like yeah, 33 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: I feel like if you're not black, you don't realize 34 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: the power of like in a Disney movie, we are 35 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: like letting it be known that yes, people come from Africa. 36 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: This is a scientific fact that is often forgotten or 37 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: ignored or used. Christianity need to try and pretend like 38 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: it doesn't exist, and or like lines like you know, um, 39 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: sorry if you haven't seen it. I'm not gonna say 40 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: the plot points. I'm just gonna say the lines, which 41 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: don't give any plot points a lot. But it's like 42 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: you know, or the line bury me in the ocean 43 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: because like my ancestors knew that death was better than 44 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: bondage like that. I feel like like some dork like 45 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: who is not black, is like, oh that just because 46 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: it's like no, that's yeah, that's anything about oppression. Yeah. 47 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: So it's so funny. And and even the secondary like 48 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: sub myth to this is that black panther isn't a 49 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: big deal. It's like and it's so it's so many 50 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: like neck beauty white guys who are like, it's not 51 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: a big deal, Like how would you even know? How 52 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: would you begin to understand what's a big deal for 53 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: black people when you're not black? Like that's the fun 54 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: That's the hubrist of white men. That's gonna be a 55 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: lot of my thesis this year is the Hubrists of 56 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: white men. And I was talking about this with Brody 57 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: and he was saying, it's just because like everything they've 58 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: been taught is that they have a universal point of 59 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: view that they have that you, as a wide dude, 60 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: and and in this philosophy class that you've taken, has 61 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: taught you that, like you've been able to make this unbiased, 62 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: universal point of view. But it's it's not you don't 63 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: have the experiences to make an educated decision. You do 64 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: not have the experiences around you probably don't even have 65 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: enough black friends to be able to be like, oh, 66 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: this is important to black people. And it's more than 67 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 1: because there's a lot of black people in the movie. 68 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: It's it's it's because of the themes within it and 69 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: like what it really means and signaling even a shift 70 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: in how films are made. And you know Coogler getting 71 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: the largest budget for an African American director and then 72 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: paying back tenfold, Like, yo, the floodgates are about to 73 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: open because Hollywood response to money. And there you go, Hanny, 74 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: there's your profits. Also, I have a question for you 75 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: because you are a Nigerian and I was talking yesterday 76 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: about how like what Kanda? Definitely I think what some 77 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: people don't understand it is like what wa Kanda? Is 78 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: this sort of fantasy world because the idea of Africa's 79 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: little nebulous for African Americans. So Africa's less abstract to 80 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: you because you are African American. Uh, in like the 81 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: most literal sense, did that change? How? I mean, like 82 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: you're saying people take from what they will. But I'm 83 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: just curious for you what that was like. Well, I 84 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: feel like there's like two points that could be made 85 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: with with what you just asked. I feel like there's 86 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: one point in the first thing you said, where like 87 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 1: Africa's kind of nebulous to African Americans, like you know, 88 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: a lot of Africa like us. It took me a 89 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: while to realize how kind of blessed I was to 90 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: be able to trace back my roots on one side 91 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: of my family. A lot of African Americans just can't, 92 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: you know, like you and and especially African Americans and 93 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: white spaces get to hear they're like white friends be like, oh, 94 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: you know, my family comes from you know, the Netherland. Yeah, 95 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: Like they get to trace it back pretty far, and 96 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: black people don't get that. So I feel like that's 97 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: why it's that's another level to why it's important, because 98 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, this fictional place, yes it's fictional, 99 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: but it's somewhere we can be like this is this 100 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: is ancestry dot com your way back to Africa. And 101 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: so I feel like a lot of Africans, a lot 102 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: of ship head Africans have been like, oh, you know, 103 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: why don't you learn about your actual roots? And I 104 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: feel like that comes from a place of just true ignorance. 105 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: Like I like, you know, when I was in my twenties, 106 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: you know, I kind of had this like that same 107 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: kind of feeling where and it's really just being selfish, 108 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: just making it about you where it's like why you 109 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: want to care about Africa? Care about me? Like care 110 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: about where I'm from. And I think to really approach 111 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: your question for me, I'm my dad's Nigerian, my mom's 112 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: from Louisiana, So I like, I'm a half African kill monger. 113 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: Same thing. So the way I took that movie was 114 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: kind of approaching it from like that kind of psyche 115 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: of how it is and trying to fit in with 116 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: your community even though you were seen as another because 117 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: you are a half. And I spoke to my friend Opie, 118 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: who both his parents are Nigerian, and he saw another 119 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: thing and I and I definitely want to, you know, 120 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: give Opie, he's a Nigerian comic. I'm going to take 121 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: what he said because I think it's a good point. 122 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: He was saying he felt the vibranium was a allegory 123 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: for culture, how he feels like Africans from Africa. You know, 124 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: we didn't have resources to give to black people, but 125 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: we didn't extend our hand and give them the culture. 126 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: We kind of viewed African Americans as together. And you 127 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: see it in the way that some Africans do associate 128 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: with black people, and you like who was talking about 129 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: like the and I didn't even know this, mostly because 130 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: my dad married an American, but Nigerians have a word 131 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: called akata, which is like a derogatory term for African Americans. Like, like, 132 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: that's because they're looking at them as they're wasting the 133 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: opportunity and completely ignoring the systematic oppression and everything else 134 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: that came. They see us as lazy. And it's also 135 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: part of the kind of um uh model minority treatment 136 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: that a lot of Africans get because a lot of 137 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: Africans come out here, they get to go to like 138 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: Ivy League schools, and that's kind of been a big 139 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: thing where like colleges are disproportionately accepting African Africans but 140 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: not African Americans. And it's just that model minority kind 141 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: of cyclical thing that's going on that we also have 142 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: to address. You know, guys see Black Panthers much more nuanced. 143 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, people walk walked into that movie, and 144 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: it's thinking having these conversations after the fact. But yeah, 145 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: it's good. Yeah, glad to get your perspective on that. Yeah, 146 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: and uh, just to your point, Ryan Coogler released a 147 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: letter this morning saying, you know, just expressing gratitude for 148 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: everybody who saw it, but saying, you know, never in 149 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: a million years did we imagine that all these people 150 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: would come out and see a movie about a fictional 151 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: country on the continent of Africa made up of a 152 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: cast of people of African descent. Um. But yeah, the 153 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: response has been impressive, and just a lot of the 154 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: conversations that I feel like are spring up around it, 155 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: like the one you guys just had to have, been 156 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: really more interesting than the conversations that spring up around 157 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: a lot of movies. Well, it's it's just yeah, it 158 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: forces a little bit of reflection for sure, especially when 159 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: you watch a movie, Like the only conversations you're having 160 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: after Batman versus Superman is like, man, how crazy would 161 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: it be if our moms at the same name. You know, 162 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: It's like, no, man, yeah, I'm not here, like dealing 163 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: this ship. Like, yeah, because funny like when I went 164 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: to Ghana, Uh, my dad was black. They call him o' bruni, 165 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: which in and that's just means white man. But again 166 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: that sort of goes back to the perception of African 167 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: Americans from Africans, and they thought I was Arab, so 168 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,719 Speaker 1: they kept insistic I was Arab. But again, yeah, it's 169 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: it's it's very interesting that there there are so many 170 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 1: levels of perception of blackness and things like that. So also, yeah, guy, 171 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: before you come in with your hot take, I just 172 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: realized this is a very nuanced topic. It's not just 173 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: that it's a it's a black movie and everybody's go 174 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: up in arms. It's a it's signaling many other things 175 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: to many different people. All right, let's get into other 176 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: stories that are going on right now about Wakanda. This 177 00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: one is not about uh explicitly, oh good stories. It 178 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: is in the background in a way about Wakonda. The 179 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 1: Reverend Billy Graham has passed away. Uh. He brought Christianity 180 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: to the masses in America or like brought it back 181 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: after the Scopes Monkey trial. Uh, and you know, the 182 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: Christian Church taking a giant l in the public forum 183 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: on that one. Uh, he sort of brought it back 184 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: and was like, it's okay to be Christian. You know, 185 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: these values are good things, and he really focused on 186 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: the better parts of uh, you know that ethos. Uh. 187 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 1: There is a thing that I had I wasn't fully 188 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: aware of a tape that was released in two thousand two. 189 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: Uh that is pretty shocking. So he had a conversation 190 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: with Nixon, and somebody was there for it had said 191 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: he said all these anti Semitic things, and Billy Graham 192 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: had always just said no, I didn't uh, and people 193 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 1: were like, okay, well he wouldn't lie. He is basically uh, 194 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: modern Jesus. And then in two thousand two tape came 195 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: out because Nixon recorded fucking everything, and uh, this is 196 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: what Billy Graham said. He said, they're the ones. So 197 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: he was speaking about Jewish people in America. He said, 198 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: they're the ones putting out the pornographic stuff. Uh. The 199 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: Jewish stranglehold has got to be broken or the country's 200 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: going down the drain. I go and I keep friends 201 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: with Mr Rosenthal at the New York Times and people 202 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: of that sort. That was the publisher I think of 203 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: the New York Times at the time, and people of 204 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: that sort, you know, and all I mean not all 205 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: the Jews, but a lot of the Jews are great 206 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: friends of mine. They swarm around me and are friendly 207 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: to me because they know that I'm friendly with Israel. 208 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: But they don't know how I really feel about what 209 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: they're doing to this country. And I have no power, 210 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: no way to handle them. But I would stand up 211 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 1: if under proper circumstances. So it's like it is. It's 212 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: a tough one to overcome because it's him being like 213 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: And I would never tell them this. That's usually the 214 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: smoking gun quote because usually they'll say the top part 215 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: and they won't be like, but what they don't know 216 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: is that you're always like damn. If I just had 217 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: that and he's saying, they don't know, is given the 218 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 1: right circumstances, I would wow. Well, look, he was the 219 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: like spiritual advisor for many presidents. I think what he 220 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: was the closest with Nixon, but it had been invited 221 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: to the White House, but from pretty much every president 222 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: up until even Obama, because he was seen as like 223 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: this sort of at least the good side of what 224 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: like I guess advantage I don't know what was here. 225 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: Was he evangelical that when it was still sort of 226 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: good natured and then uh it perversion began of the 227 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: religious right, and I think, I know, like Billy Graham had, 228 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: people are only sharing quotes, like only good quotes about him, 229 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: saying like I think if the Christianity was married with 230 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: social conservatives, that would be the end or something like that, 231 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: when people like see, you see he was a good guy, 232 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: which I'm sure you had great ideas. I'm not particularly familiar. 233 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: I just remember that specific things when you're talking about 234 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: you're talking about Bigraham, like the weird stuff said about 235 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: Jewish people, Um, um, yeah, look, he was a big 236 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: figure in the United States. Yeah. But one thing I 237 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: will say is Nixon is the originator of keeping on 238 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: the receipts. I feel like, you know, that's been What's 239 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 1: weird is that Trumpians have figured out a way around 240 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: receipts by just denying it. Like once they figured out 241 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: that their base will just take that. I feel because 242 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: I feel like the first time it was done, they're 243 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: like no. When when their base was like, well he 244 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: said no, he's like, oh thank god, these people are idiot, 245 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: you know, totally Um, there was there was an article 246 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: in Jewish Week titled how Jews should think about Reverend 247 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: Graham's legacy, And I think it's as good a testament 248 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: to you know, his message or what he preached, because 249 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: you know, they mentioned his quotes, but then they say, 250 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: you know, we would have liked for him not to 251 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: have said that, but but that should not blind us 252 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: to his constructive words, which benefited all religions, including our own. 253 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: Many of his statements and actions were in sync both 254 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: with many Latin jews own attitudes to religion and to 255 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: the role that religion should play in the town square. 256 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 1: And he specifically opposed like there was a big Southern 257 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: Baptist pushed to convert Jews and Muslims in the nineties 258 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: and he was like, no, like that's fucking awful, let's 259 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: let's not do that. So, yeah, he really came out 260 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: in surprising ways like for uh, some some progressive values 261 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: that we don't currently associate with Southern Baptist Christians. And 262 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: it's just that you know, this one quote that is 263 00:13:55,400 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: pretty problematic. Um, So that's an interesting plicad legacy. So 264 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of focus on Russian bots of 265 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: late Uh, thirteen Russians and a couple of organizations were 266 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: indicted by the Muller investigation on Friday, And um, you know, 267 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: it has come out now that we know who to 268 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: specifically look at and what organizations were specifically, the Russian 269 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: bots has come out that yes, they were definitely trying 270 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: to help the Trump campaign win the two thousand and 271 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: sixteen election, but they were kind of all over the place, 272 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,479 Speaker 1: and they continue to be all over the place, uh, 273 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: right up until the school shooting last week in Florida. Um, 274 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: you know they were immediately targeting uh you know, both 275 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: sides of that debate. They were pushing, you know, the 276 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: idea that guns should be banned and you know, just 277 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: liberal talking points, which I don't know is kind of 278 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: a it's a weird thing to learn that. Uh, you know, 279 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: they're targeting that some of the things that you believe. 280 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: Like I looked and I had not retweeted any Russian bots, 281 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: which was good. Um, but did you do the thing 282 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: where you can find out if you did? Yeah, well, 283 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: I also don't really retweet people who I'm not who 284 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with, remember that face. But yeah, I 285 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: mean you can go and there's a website that is 286 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: like tracking basically the specific organizations to watch out for it. UM. 287 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: But I guess I mean that's that's that's the point 288 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: of the playing both sides is like if you get 289 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: both fired up, then nobody will get along and there 290 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: you go, chaos achieved. And I think for a example 291 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: of how best to respond if you do find out 292 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: that you have been retweeting about um, this is a 293 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: good example. CNN went and spoke to a woman who 294 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: had led a pro Trump, uh you know rally I think, 295 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: and you know Facebook group and they were like, yeah, 296 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: that Facebook group that you helped lead was actually put 297 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: together by Russian butts And her response was, I think 298 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: a lesson for us all. But did you realize that 299 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: you guys were in communication electronically with Russian You were 300 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: posting stuff on the Facebook.

They weren't things that like people 348 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: actually believed. But uh yeah, so I mean CNN got 349 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: caught up in that ship too, So I don't know. 350 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: I don't know how good I feel about them going 351 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: down and being like, oh, yeah, well we found this 352 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: idiot down in the front yard. I don't think that 353 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: was a good tactic to blow someone's mind, is to 354 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: roll up on them in front of their house and 355 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: be like a ship. And I think it's about you know, 356 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: like it would be like a family intervention or something 357 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: where you're like, we actually do have any information, Grandma 358 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: that you were fucking with bots. But I mean, I 359 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: know so many people whose parents like they they saw 360 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: their parents sharing ship like this on Facebook and had 361 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: to do that. And you know, that's a conversation that 362 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: America has had to have with their parents or uncles 363 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: or you know, been like, look, I know that's what 364 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: you want to believe, but it's just not true. So 365 00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: I don't know. And I'm not saying you're evil for 366 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: doing this because you just thought this was news or whatever. 367 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: You know it was true, but we're just I'm just 368 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: trying to show you how easy that ship is, right, Yeah, 369 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: it's because we're in like the third wave of Internet. 370 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 1: The Internet is fascinating to me just because of like 371 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: we're the last generation who will have lived before the Internet. 372 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: And I remember, like very early on my dad, my dad, 373 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: like uncles would not funk with it. They didn't care, 374 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: like that's a kids thing, that's what you do. Like, 375 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: and then I remember more, yeah, and then you had 376 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: my Space. They still weren't like they were doing checking emails, 377 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: but like like the concept, Like I remember asking my 378 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: dad to help me get something from eBay. He was like, what, no, 379 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 1: Like that's trash. Then like then my Space happened and 380 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: I was like, all right, what y'all doing on there? 381 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: You know? And then they kind of started infiltrating my Space. 382 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 1: Then we fled to Facebook and then and then that's 383 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: that's what's so funny is people don't remember we fled 384 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,239 Speaker 1: to Facebook because we wanted to get away from our 385 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 1: parents on my space like that in Yeah, our parents 386 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: gentrified my Space. We went to Facebook, which it's big 387 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: selling point was you can only sign up with the 388 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: college I hacked that your boy didn't go to college. 389 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: I joined there, and then like our parents came and 390 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 1: there was the first initially, oh my gosh, but then 391 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: people were like, actually, it's kind of cool to check 392 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: in my grandma, and so you're getting all these people 393 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 1: like and I feel like that's when our parents kind 394 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: of got involved in our parents, Like now my dad 395 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: is like flipping laptops on eBay and just like like 396 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: he's just straight up in it. And I think now 397 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: it's like our grandparents are kind of like, all right, well, 398 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: I think so. And it's kind of now the first wave, 399 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: which is us the millennials, who kind of already are 400 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 1: well aware like this is fake. This is fake, this 401 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: isn't real, this isn't And then the second wave, I think, 402 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: isn't all the way there yet, and the third wave 403 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: is there in la la la, and they're like everything 404 00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: that is how if the internet lie? How can I 405 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 1: see my grandson on on the beach on Facebook exactly? 406 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: How you can't lie on the internet. Right, Yeah, that's 407 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: a really good point. I mean, there were there were 408 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: those stories in the aftermath of the election being like, 409 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 1: we need to teach our children media literacy so they 410 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: know what is true and what's not. It's like the children, fuck, 411 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: it's not it's yours. We're the ones fucking with you 412 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: half the time. I know. I mean, I'm you know, 413 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 1: when Jurassic Park came out, I straight up told my 414 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 1: grandmother it was real, and she believed it. My mom 415 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: yelled at me because she was like, what did you 416 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 1: say to grandmother? Is all Japanese, but she was like 417 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 1: she was old, you know, she was born right for 418 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,360 Speaker 1: the titantic think. And I guess that's the same kind 419 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,719 Speaker 1: of thing, is that sort of Their guard is an 420 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: up like ours is, So it's easy to be like, well, 421 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: it's on this thing, this screen. Because they grew up 422 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: in a world where people who had access to media 423 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: were like ordained like being like actual journalists or giving facts. 424 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: It's like it's the Internet, though, right, they did not 425 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: have that built in sort of guard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 426 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 1: I think to have a clear example of this, I 427 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: learned my lesson that the Internet doesn't lie back when 428 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 1: the FBI came to my house when I was trying 429 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 1: to have cybersex. When I was in I'd say I 430 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: had to be like, I had to be like an 431 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 1: eighth grade And it wasn't until because I tell that 432 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,719 Speaker 1: story now. I told the story on my comedy album 433 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: and now I'm at an age where I was like, oh, 434 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: there was never a girl like I was cybersexing with FBI. 435 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: So were you lying and saying you were older? No? 436 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: I was, I was. They just said the language I 437 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: was using was advanced for my age. So you know, 438 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: your boy boy was spicy with you were closing as 439 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: an eighth grader. Your cyber stroke was that that they 440 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 1: showed up. But I'm like because like it was kind 441 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: of like that Kaiser. So's a moment where like I 442 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: was like, wait, she disappeared after after a while, never 443 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: came back. And then when the dude and I felt 444 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: back because the FBI dre, I was like, and he 445 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: was like, yeah, we already like talk to the girl. 446 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: And I was like I was like, you know, no, No, 447 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, I hold smith. But this if he 448 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: want away, man, he's very advanced. I just wonder if 449 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: the agent misses me, like right, like he just got 450 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: into deep the agents like, hey man, can you talk 451 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: to my wife for me? What was some of that 452 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: stuff you said to open up with? Uh, we are 453 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: going to take a quick break and we will be 454 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: right back and we're back. One of the things that 455 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,959 Speaker 1: the Russian boats. Like I said we're spending on was 456 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: the gun controlled debate, which seems like a waste of 457 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: resources because uh, you don't need to sell discord that 458 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: record is going to diss it something. It is a 459 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: hotly contested conversation, and we think it might get hotter 460 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: tonight because there is a upcoming media event that seems 461 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: almost too crazy to be true. But CNN is basically 462 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: sponsoring this conversation between the Parkland students and community and 463 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: that crazy n R A woman from like the n 464 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 1: R A videos who just like comes out hot. I 465 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: think we have some We are witnesses to the most 466 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 1: ruthless attack on a president and the people who voted 467 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: for him, and the free system that allowed it to 468 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: happen in American history, from the highest levels of government 469 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: to their media, universities and billionaires. Their hateful defiance of 470 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 1: his legitimacy is an insult to each of us. But 471 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: the ultimate insult is that they think we're so stupid 472 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: that will let them get away with it. These saboteurs 473 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: slashing away with their leaks and sneers, their phony accusations 474 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: and gagging sanctimony drive their daggers through the heart of 475 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: our future, poisoning our belief that honest custody of our 476 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: institutions will ever again be possible. So they can then 477 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: build their utopia from the ashes of what they burned down. No, 478 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: their fate will be failure, and they will perish in 479 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: the political flames of their own fires. We are the 480 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: National Rifle Association of America, and we are freedom's safest place. 481 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: What does that have to do with guns? Was it? Just? Yeah? 482 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: So they ideology with her videos. They started politicizing, just 483 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: being like we're far right, we're holding down the right, 484 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: and we just happened to have guns, like theyre. I 485 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: like how they set it up where the left are 486 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: all using knives. They're like slashing at the heart of 487 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: the thing. So that because I'm sure that's a fantasy 488 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: of every n r A member, is that they get 489 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: to face off with like some you know, thug or 490 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: like left wing you know, and r bag full of 491 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: kale right and with with with yeah, trying to trying 492 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: to attack you with a knife so they can just 493 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: like light you up. Yeah, So again, this event is 494 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: gonna be I don't even know how the funk everyone 495 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: agreed to this. This is bigger than McGregor Mayweather possibly 496 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,959 Speaker 1: who knows. But again, CNN got Dana Lows to represent 497 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: the n r A. Who let's not forget some of 498 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: her past hot takes when she said banning the a 499 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: R fifteen would be like, it's a war against women 500 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: because the most popular gun with women. So that's a 501 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: move to disarmed women. That was her take on that. 502 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: She called people who tried to curb mass shootings tragedy 503 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: dry humping horse. So I'm curious when she's in that 504 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,959 Speaker 1: town hall, it's gonna be her Marco Rubio, Bill Nelson, 505 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: the two centers from Florida. I think some state legislator 506 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: uh and the victims and family members, teachers, community of 507 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: Parkland are going to have a town hall meeting. I'm 508 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: curious if she's gonna come with that same energy when 509 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 1: you're looking at a parent who's lost her child and 510 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: is asking what the n r A is where they 511 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: stand in all of this, She'll either is going to 512 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: say that crazy shit because they think that's gonna work 513 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: with their base, and that would just be a disaster. 514 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: I think for like pr optics for the n r A, 515 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: or she might humm in harror way through it and 516 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: it's be like, oh, well, you know, totally unprepared, or 517 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, just be really nice and act like, oh, yes, 518 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 1: we hear you, we hear you. Just kind of do 519 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: that version. But I don't know, based on how she 520 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: talks in general, I can't really It's it's hard for 521 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: me to picture how this is gonna end up. Yeah, 522 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: unless they cancel it. I'm having a hard time picturing 523 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: how she's going to not come off as just like 524 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: the biggest villain in the history of news. But you know, 525 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: maybe maybe they have their talking points, like they One 526 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: of the talking points they're bringing out right now that 527 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: seems to be popular with the right wing is that 528 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: the students who are coming out and uh, you know 529 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: promoting gun control are actually either crisis actors, so actors 530 00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: who traveled to different mass shootings too, uh, pretty tend 531 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: that they are victims so that they can, you know, 532 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: put forward an agenda that these are the same people. 533 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: They believe that Sandy Hook was all a false flag 534 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: event perpetrated by the Obama administration so that they could 535 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: get our guns, which man that backfire for the Obama administration. 536 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: Gun control only got lax in man, they shouldn't have 537 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,959 Speaker 1: killed all those children for that purpose. It just shows 538 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: you how far we went because I remember the Sandy 539 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: Hook and it was like a weird fringe Alex Jones 540 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: thing that even the right we're like chill, my dude. 541 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: And to see it now like actual, like yeah, Fox 542 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: would be like no, yeah they are, and it's like, 543 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: oh my god, we they've taken over, like these are 544 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: the Alex Jones dudes. And really it's gonna take Republicans 545 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: to nut up and vote against republic That's the problem, 546 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,959 Speaker 1: and I've set this for years, is that Democrats are 547 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: willing to vote for what they think, uh, that they believe, 548 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: which is why we're in this position to begin with 549 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: a lot of people um and and they get so 550 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: mad when you bring this up, but it's facts. Um. 551 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: A lot of people didn't like how Bernie was treated 552 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: and so they voted either Green Party or I felt 553 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: like I felt like so many third party people were 554 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: like much louder this last election. I felt like this 555 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: was the time they thought they would do it because 556 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: like everybody hates both options. This is our moment to shine. 557 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: And I feel like we've gotten a lot of split there. 558 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: That being said, Um, Republicans don't vote against Republicans. They 559 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: just don't like no matter how much. I don't know 560 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: how many times I've seen people be like, I don't 561 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,959 Speaker 1: really you know, but that's better than a Democrat. Like 562 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: that's their motto is it's better than a democrat. Um. 563 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: And and I feel like that's how they've taken over, 564 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: and it's we're seeing them double down in such a 565 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,239 Speaker 1: weird way. So I think we gotta beat them at 566 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: their own game. I think we challenged them to a fisticuffs. 567 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna put my bid in. I will catch 568 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: I will catch Deniseius Faith catch me in these Florida streets. 569 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: I let's go.

Uh so they yesterday, this is our 573 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: next story, so we might as well talk about it. 574 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: They went to Tallahassee, to Florida you know, town hall, Uh, 575 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: to the Capitol building, the Capitol building because they put 576 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: forward this legislation or got this legislation to be considered 577 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: that would at least open a conversation on changing the 578 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: gun control laws in Florida and making them a little 579 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: bit more restrictive. And it got voted down like by 580 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: a wys. The children just standing like watching crying. Um, yeah, 581 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: they could have just said fuck you literally rather than 582 00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: doing that vote.

But yeah, she was a little disappointing in that, Like, yeah, 656 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 1: we thought she was going to bring that energy to 657 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 1: the town hall, like off in her chest out, but 658 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: I think she realized with the way Marco Rubio when 659 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 1: he took the stage. They were clearly not uh in 660 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 1: friendly territory at oil. So do you want to throw 661 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 1: that clip firs. Yeah, let's let's listen to us some. 662 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: So this is some Yeah, this is Marco Rubio first talking. 663 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: This is when a student put his fucking feet to 664 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 1: the fire. Uh. And you know, shout out to these 665 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 1: kids though, because they really are inspiring. Yeah, because when 666 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: I was in high school, we were not very politically active. 667 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: But yes, this is a student talking with Marco Rubio. 668 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: Um center, Rubio. It's hard to look at you and 669 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 1: not look down the barrel of an a R fifteen 670 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 1: and not look at Nicholas Cruse. But the point is 671 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: you're here, and there are some people who are not. 672 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: This isn't about red and blue. We can't boo people 673 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,720 Speaker 1: because they're Democrats and boo people because they're Republicans. Anyone 674 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: who's willing to show change, no matter where they're from. 675 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: Anybody who's willing to start to make a difference is 676 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: somebody we need on our side here. And this is 677 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: about people who are for making a difference to save 678 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: us and people who are against it and prefer money. So, 679 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 1: Senator Rubio, can you tell me right now that you 680 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 1: will not accept a single donation from the n r 681 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: in the seat. Who yes, yeah, yeah, that's cool for sure. 682 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 1: I'm moving on the teams like I mean to the 683 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 1: n r A lady a question. I wish the n 684 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: r A lady I could have talked to because I 685 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: would ask her how she can look in the mirror 686 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 1: considering the fact that she has children, but you know, 687 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: maybe she avoids those. I will answer any questions you 688 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 1: guys have about any part right now, right now, and 689 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: be glad, be glad you know you know, and I 690 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: will be now that. I just think that ultimately, that 691 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: is not our goal here. Our goal here is to 692 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,719 Speaker 1: move forward. So right now, in the hand the name, 693 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,799 Speaker 1: in the name of seventeen people, you cannot ask the 694 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 1: n r A to keep their money out of your campaign. 695 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,359 Speaker 1: I think in the name of the seventeen people, I 696 00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 1: can pledge to you that I will support any law 697 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,839 Speaker 1: that will event like this. But I'm telling an don't 698 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,400 Speaker 1: see there's a teenager. I bet we can get people 699 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: in here to give you exactly as much money. But 700 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: it's not understand and you're right. Can you stand up 701 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 1: and you're right and don't turn out real quick. Oh, 702 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: so that was a hard question. So like usually they 703 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 1: don't get to keep the microphone and be like, no, 704 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,760 Speaker 1: you're not answer the question. You're not answering the question. Uh. 705 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: And so his like little pivot there did not work. Um, 706 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 1: which is crazy because journalists you could take note. I mean, look, 707 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 1: it looks aggressive, but you have to what especially for 708 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: an issue like this, and people want to squirm in 709 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,879 Speaker 1: like not answer a question directly because they can't bite 710 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: the hand that feeds them. I'm just glad this kid 711 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,879 Speaker 1: did it. And that's the teenagers would you expect, Like, now, 712 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,360 Speaker 1: could his opener have used a little work? Yeah? Was 713 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: that like the thing about it's hard to look at 714 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 1: you and not look down the barrel of an AK 715 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: forty seven or whatever? That that didn't really make sense, 716 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,359 Speaker 1: my man. But that's all right because he then went 717 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:06,359 Speaker 1: on to ask a very clear and cogent question which 718 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,399 Speaker 1: Rubio could not could not answer. He looks, I'll tell 719 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:15,240 Speaker 1: you what I can, what I can? Are you drinking again? 720 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 1: Marco is like the stepdad with a drinking problem? Man, 721 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,840 Speaker 1: what's going on? Because my mom's not gonna confront you, 722 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 1: Marco can in your car? Your mom it was should 723 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,879 Speaker 1: not have been looking through my but yes, I mean, yeah, 724 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: they shout outs to them. I think again, it's very 725 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: interesting to see him say, can you tell them, in 726 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 1: the name of seventeen dead people, will you reject the 727 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: money in the n R. And he later on went 728 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 1: to going to say he's like, you know, people buy 729 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 1: into my agenda. He said that, he said, people buy agenda. 730 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 1: It's like yo, like bad Att talking like a human 731 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: being that you can't avoid saying, people buy into my agenda. 732 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,959 Speaker 1: There was also a moment where he accidentally like gave 733 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 1: them something that people were fond of, where he was like, uh, 734 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,239 Speaker 1: then you'd have to outright ban assault weapons. In the 735 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: crowd erupted and then he looks confused. He's like, oh, 736 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 1: y'all want that? Yeah, Like he doesn't get it. We 737 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 1: haven't been clear enough cleared out there, Like it was 738 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 1: a joke, Like yeah, I mean if we do that, 739 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 1: we might as well ban all assault right, that's what 740 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 1: we want. He thought that was going to be like 741 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: the equivalent of like, and what are we gonna do 742 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 1: marry our dogs next? And we were like, yes, we 743 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 1: do want to marry our dogs, motherfucker. Yeah, because then 744 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: then he was like talking about He's like, well, then 745 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 1: there's there's two hundred guns, like at least that we'd 746 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 1: have to get rid of, and they're like yeah, and 747 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 1: he's like, but then there's like two thousand other ones. 748 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 1: That also defined what I mean, how do we do that? Anyway? 749 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: That was also I think part of a question that 750 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 1: was that came after a father of a child who 751 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 1: was killed at the high school had a for him. 752 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 1: And this guy also brought the heat for Marco Rubio. 753 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 1: Your comments this week and those of our president have 754 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: been pathetically weak. Oh yeah, yeah, hold on, hold, I 755 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,399 Speaker 1: guess shouts out to Marco Rubio for actually showing up 756 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: and just getting people to talk like me. At least 757 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,440 Speaker 1: he earned that money. You and I are now eye 758 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,719 Speaker 1: to eye because I want to like you look at 759 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,960 Speaker 1: me and tell me guns were the factor in the 760 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 1: the hunting of our kids in this school this week, 761 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,879 Speaker 1: and looked at me and tell me you accept it 762 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: and you will work with us to do something about guns. 763 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 1: Fred fred Can, I'm not, first of all, what I 764 00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 1: Let me explain what I said this week, and I'll 765 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:55,320 Speaker 1: repeat it. I'll repeat what I said because it seems 766 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,439 Speaker 1: and then tell you what we're gonna do. We're gonna 767 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 1: talk about and we're gonna talk about what I said 768 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,839 Speaker 1: this weekend. Here's what I said. I said that the 769 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,399 Speaker 1: problems that we are facing let him speak. I think 770 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,719 Speaker 1: we need to hear. I'm saying that the problems that 771 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: we're facing here today cannot be solved by gun laws alone. 772 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you what we've done already and 773 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 1: what I hope we're doing. Living for guns the factor 774 00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 1: hunting Now. I think what you're asking about is the 775 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 1: assault weapons man. Yes, sir, so let me be honest 776 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 1: with you about that one. If I believe that that 777 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 1: law would have prevented this from happening, I would support it. 778 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,600 Speaker 1: But I want to explain to you why it would not. 779 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 1: He was shot here, Senator Ruby up, my daughter running 780 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 1: down the hallway, and Marjorie stole him. Douglas were shot 781 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 1: in the back with an assault weapon, the weapon of choice. Okay, 782 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 1: it is too easy to get. It is a weapon 783 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,480 Speaker 1: of war. The fact that you can't skin with everybody 784 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: in this building and say that, I'm sorry, sir, I 785 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 1: do believe what you're saying. I mean, the assault weapon 786 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: ban is not really a thing that most like, I 787 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 1: think people go into this conversation thinking, well, you know, 788 00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 1: it's equal sides, and you know, fifty percent of Americans 789 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,720 Speaker 1: want assault weapons and don't. But there was an assault 790 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,719 Speaker 1: weapon ban for ten years in our country. It was 791 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 1: when Columbine happened, but that was the only mass shooting, 792 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 1: and like we talked about after this shooting happened, this 793 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,319 Speaker 1: shooting was bigger than Columbine. It just didn't seem like 794 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,919 Speaker 1: it because Columbine was like out of nowhere and had 795 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 1: a shooting like that hadn't happened in a long time. 796 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 1: And it was because weapons like this had been banned 797 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: for ten years. And there's an amazing clip from I 798 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,960 Speaker 1: think it was the Daily, uh, the New York Times 799 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 1: podcast where they talked about how they had a clip 800 00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:01,359 Speaker 1: of Bill Clinton talking about how people who were advocating 801 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,960 Speaker 1: to keep assault weapons. He was like, and they say 802 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,799 Speaker 1: that they want, uh, they they want these to go 803 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,319 Speaker 1: to shooting ranges to fire them. And I think they 804 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 1: need to get a new hobby, Like they need to 805 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 1: read a good book or something like. He was like, 806 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:19,000 Speaker 1: and everybody laughed at it, and like that is like 807 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 1: people were like, yeah, fuck, these people who want to 808 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,720 Speaker 1: take air fifteens to shooting ranges over like the safety 809 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 1: of people. And when this assault weapon ban went into effect, 810 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 1: seventy percent of Americans were in favor of it. And 811 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: then when it lapsed because politicians didn't keep it going, 812 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 1: didn't do the work because they were being you know, 813 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,440 Speaker 1: funded by that in r A. Uh, still sixty something 814 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,200 Speaker 1: percent of people wanted it. It's just harder to get 815 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,080 Speaker 1: people to give a shit about a thing that is 816 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:54,399 Speaker 1: preventing things from happening when they haven't happened for ten years. Like, um, so, 817 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's a it. I don't think it's 818 00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:01,719 Speaker 1: as controversial as as you think. Based on the fact that, 819 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,200 Speaker 1: like the n r A is out here putting out 820 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,359 Speaker 1: such a strong message, you would you would assume that, 821 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,800 Speaker 1: you know, they speak for a big chunk of Americans 822 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:15,359 Speaker 1: and they're a minority, very pretty small, but super vocal minority. Yeah. Yeah, 823 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: it sucks that people's hobbies are like I want to 824 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 1: shoot guns, and I get that, you know, Like I've 825 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,919 Speaker 1: seen so many videos where people are like, it's really fun. 826 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,919 Speaker 1: I want my gun, But I'm just like, can we 827 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 1: I do think there needs to be like a more 828 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,359 Speaker 1: places or people can express their rage. So I wish 829 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 1: that there was like like rage gauge places, like you know, 830 00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 1: space where you go and you like blades, Like there 831 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:42,600 Speaker 1: should be like spots like everywhere easily accessible, cheap where 832 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 1: you can go and within the safety with the professional 833 00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,359 Speaker 1: go shoot off a gun for fun, or go break 834 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 1: some blades, go punch some dummies something like that. That's like, 835 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,239 Speaker 1: let's use your hobby without having all these guns out 836 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,879 Speaker 1: there that children have access. You want to see CEC 837 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,600 Speaker 1: Community Catharsis Center us exactly for people to get their anger. 838 00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,480 Speaker 1: I mean personally, like I've shot guns a lot, and 839 00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,560 Speaker 1: I really do enjoy shooting guns. For me, there hasn't 840 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 1: been like a there's not a Catharsis about it. I 841 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,440 Speaker 1: think it's because I grew up inundated with images of 842 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,279 Speaker 1: guns and ship that I just like began to like 843 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,960 Speaker 1: romanticize like the idea of shooting guns. But I think 844 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:20,839 Speaker 1: there's a difference between being able to shoot a gun 845 00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,320 Speaker 1: or hunt and then being like saying like, oh I 846 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 1: have a right to like a like a military style gun. Sure, 847 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,239 Speaker 1: that's like for you to just kind of feel good 848 00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,400 Speaker 1: that like y'all got there gun from this thing or whatever. 849 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,040 Speaker 1: But like, I think the idea of an assault weapons 850 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,279 Speaker 1: man it shouldn't be that controversy because like, bro, we're 851 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 1: not saying you can't hunt or do this other ship 852 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,879 Speaker 1: that you're saying as part of the American culture. But 853 00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:42,919 Speaker 1: do you have a right to have the same ship 854 00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,920 Speaker 1: that the military does, even if it is semi automatic? 855 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:46,920 Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people want to like 856 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:48,560 Speaker 1: especially the n R A is like, well they are fifteen, 857 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,439 Speaker 1: it's not the M four because it's not fully automatic. Look, 858 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 1: let's be really like, you don't need that gun to 859 00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 1: be a hobby shooter, you know what I mean. And 860 00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,160 Speaker 1: you also if you need that gun to hunt, then 861 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,320 Speaker 1: you're a horrible hunter and you should find another probaby, 862 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 1: like maybe like knitting or something that's more your speed. 863 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 1: Don't blow the leg off the deer, Like that's not 864 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 1: the point. Only need the head right to hang up 865 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,439 Speaker 1: on my wall. All right, We're gonna take a quick break. 866 00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 1: We'll be right back. And we're back. Um, And actually 867 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 1: I'm just seeing results from a more recent poll. So 868 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 1: apparently the public opinion has shifted and it is now 869 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:39,480 Speaker 1: fifty fifty that Uh. People uh support a prohibition on 870 00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:43,840 Speaker 1: assault weapons and opposed that band. So it's closer to 871 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,080 Speaker 1: than it was back at the end of the assault 872 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:52,439 Speaker 1: weapon band. Um. And you know it's been politicized. And 873 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,839 Speaker 1: you know, also people know that the government is going 874 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,480 Speaker 1: to come for them and they have to be able 875 00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:01,759 Speaker 1: to defend their family against the police state when Obama 876 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,400 Speaker 1: takes back over and comes for them, and that he 877 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:09,880 Speaker 1: already has brother, the shadow government is in full force. Uh. Hey, 878 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:15,680 Speaker 1: So the n r A, H they have some interesting ideas. Uh. 879 00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 1: And one of those ideas is so they have been 880 00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:25,600 Speaker 1: fighting for a long time to have this mascot, Eddie 881 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,759 Speaker 1: the Eagle. The n r A is gun safety mascot. 882 00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:33,839 Speaker 1: He's just a giant cartoon bird. Uh. They want him 883 00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 1: to be basically the only thing that is used to 884 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:42,479 Speaker 1: stop children from playing with guns. That makes sense, because look, 885 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,960 Speaker 1: gun controls out of the question, right, So let me 886 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,279 Speaker 1: do you one better. I'll make a cartoon character that 887 00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:52,160 Speaker 1: will put the responsibility on children to be safe around 888 00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,399 Speaker 1: guns and not on the fucking adults who have them 889 00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,920 Speaker 1: around gun I don't it's crazy to think that this 890 00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,399 Speaker 1: is a solution that they put forward, but it makes 891 00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 1: sense because the solution is always anything but gun control. Yeah. 892 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:08,560 Speaker 1: So this designer who designed Eddie the Eagle took the assignment, thought, 893 00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,960 Speaker 1: you know, this is the fun thing that can convey 894 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:15,560 Speaker 1: a message about gun safety. Uh And then she found 895 00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,359 Speaker 1: out that the n r A was arguing that Eddie 896 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:23,359 Speaker 1: the Eagle is a superior alternative to negligent storage legislation 897 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,120 Speaker 1: or law is meant to punish adults when children shoot 898 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:31,440 Speaker 1: themselves or someone else with an unsecured gun. Uh So yeah, 899 00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 1: it's like assuming sexual harassment will be stopped because of 900 00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:40,680 Speaker 1: Peppi lapew and not sexual harassment laws. Um. And here 901 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:45,000 Speaker 1: I think we have some some samples from some of Eddie. 902 00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,359 Speaker 1: So this is the earlier version from the nineties when 903 00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:53,280 Speaker 1: Jason Priestley legitimately Jason Priestley is in this video interacting 904 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 1: with Eddie the Eagle. But this is the rap that 905 00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,560 Speaker 1: Eddie the Eagle says. So when you kids find a gun, 906 00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:03,439 Speaker 1: you know what to do. Behind the broom. I saw 907 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:07,240 Speaker 1: a gun at just that moment the kids saw it too. 908 00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:13,479 Speaker 1: I didn't wait. I knew what to do. Drop the beach, 909 00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:17,279 Speaker 1: don't touch I'm at an eagle, and I like you too. 910 00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,759 Speaker 1: Much to see you get hurt. And that's why I say, 911 00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:24,640 Speaker 1: if you speak, just want don't tell him what you found. 912 00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,560 Speaker 1: God shouldn't be left lying around. Yes, stop, don't touch, 913 00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,560 Speaker 1: leave the area, telling the don't do it with me now, 914 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,160 Speaker 1: don't touch, leave the area, don't talk it over with 915 00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:40,840 Speaker 1: a grown up you trust. Stop, don't touch, leave the area, 916 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:47,400 Speaker 1: don't thank you, Jason, good rhyming, good rhyming, leave the 917 00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,880 Speaker 1: area telling an adult, an adult you trust, which honestly, 918 00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,839 Speaker 1: I don't trust any adult. So who are we gonna 919 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,880 Speaker 1: go to till Monday? Till you go to school and 920 00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:01,400 Speaker 1: tell your pete teacher that's really cool. Nope, that that rhymes. 921 00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:03,360 Speaker 1: That would not have worked, and then they should have 922 00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,279 Speaker 1: they should have tapped me to do that. But yeah, 923 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,560 Speaker 1: it's a it's such a bizarre thing because like the 924 00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:10,880 Speaker 1: situation is like kids playing in an attic and then 925 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:14,879 Speaker 1: they're like, WHOA, what's this old fucking like rifle doing here? 926 00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,960 Speaker 1: But I don't know, Like I guess it's a weird 927 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,759 Speaker 1: thing to like also like normalize guns for kids too, 928 00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,560 Speaker 1: that like, yeah, you this ship just might be around kids, right, 929 00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,919 Speaker 1: so you know what to do kids. It's America you're 930 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 1: gonna find some loaded, unsecured guns laying around the house. 931 00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,439 Speaker 1: Just this is what to do. Uh, it's on you 932 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,680 Speaker 1: to not shoot yourself and your friends. Have you ever 933 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:39,680 Speaker 1: had a friend who was like, hey, you want to 934 00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:41,799 Speaker 1: come over and see my dad's gun. Did you ever 935 00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:45,320 Speaker 1: grow up having that? Uh? No, no, no, that's never happened. 936 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,040 Speaker 1: All right, never mind, Wait so it happened to you? No? No, 937 00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:51,600 Speaker 1: not like not like yeah anyway, but yeah, my dad 938 00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,839 Speaker 1: has a really cool gun. No, because I think because 939 00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:56,800 Speaker 1: that's always like a situation, like you hear about the 940 00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 1: like I remember kids would talk about like, yo, my uncle. 941 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:01,760 Speaker 1: I was like gone, because in California they not everyone 942 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:05,400 Speaker 1: had a gun. But who is in that situation? I 943 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,080 Speaker 1: guess it's a very small number of kids who are 944 00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:12,840 Speaker 1: like actually gonna be like wait, stop, don't touch the area. 945 00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:16,160 Speaker 1: Telling adult. Thinking about my childhood now, I feel like 946 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,399 Speaker 1: I should have been a person who found a gun, 947 00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,880 Speaker 1: because all of my neighbors, like especially during the holidays 948 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:25,600 Speaker 1: around birthdays, they would shoot guns like into the lawn 949 00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:27,719 Speaker 1: or in the sky, and it was like a big 950 00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,960 Speaker 1: deal and people were constantly dying, like during the holidays. 951 00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:35,400 Speaker 1: Because I'm like, oh, I am yeah, like every like 952 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:40,520 Speaker 1: Puerto Rico, um, and they're like yeah, like that's how 953 00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:44,799 Speaker 1: you There were less firecrackers and more gun shots, which 954 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:48,600 Speaker 1: I'm just like wow, And I didn't think, like I 955 00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:53,279 Speaker 1: don't know, I never saw anybody liked it, you know. Yeah, 956 00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:56,080 Speaker 1: it's funny. I remember during like the holidays, there would 957 00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,120 Speaker 1: be billboards in l A that was like a child 958 00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:01,080 Speaker 1: and it had a poem that says, you shoot bullets 959 00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:04,200 Speaker 1: in this guy when they come down, I might die. 960 00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:06,680 Speaker 1: And I remember being a kid and being like, yo, 961 00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,000 Speaker 1: what the fund is going on? Because I know in 962 00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,480 Speaker 1: certain areas, yeah, like people will just clap guns off 963 00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,480 Speaker 1: for like just to just to set it off and 964 00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:16,759 Speaker 1: have a good time. But yeah, that's true. Like I 965 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,080 Speaker 1: didn't realize that it would be so prevalent that like 966 00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,440 Speaker 1: it was a huge problem. And that was like an 967 00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,319 Speaker 1: eye opening thing for me as a kid because I 968 00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,840 Speaker 1: didn't have any legal It's just a sad thing because 969 00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,919 Speaker 1: this is their response to like kids shooting, being near 970 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,920 Speaker 1: guns or loose guns, that this is their answer to 971 00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:35,799 Speaker 1: it constantly, Like they had to revamp this, I think 972 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,320 Speaker 1: in a response to another child who had shot another 973 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,360 Speaker 1: child because a gun was laying around the house. No, 974 00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,959 Speaker 1: it happens constantly. Yeah. I also don't get it because 975 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,520 Speaker 1: their whole thing is like, if you put in laws 976 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:49,759 Speaker 1: against guns, people are still going to get guns on 977 00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,120 Speaker 1: the black market. It's like if you tell kids to stop, 978 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:53,920 Speaker 1: don't touch, and run away from a gun, they're still 979 00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 1: going to grope their guns, shoot their friend, and then 980 00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,920 Speaker 1: tied in a closet and try until their parents find them. 981 00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:03,160 Speaker 1: It's anyway. So I guess it's a fitting way for 982 00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,320 Speaker 1: the n r A to handle a very serious problem 983 00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:08,239 Speaker 1: is to really not do anything in a very insulting way. 984 00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:13,200 Speaker 1: M hm, cool, cool, don't matter. We want to go 985 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,759 Speaker 1: out on something a little bit lighter. Uh. We have 986 00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:20,720 Speaker 1: the very good news that the US women's hockey team 987 00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:28,400 Speaker 1: has one goal. Who they mean Canada? Canada, O Canada 988 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:32,200 Speaker 1: and Canada. The last three or four years they want 989 00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,840 Speaker 1: is Canada. I don't know. I feel the US is 990 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,840 Speaker 1: the greatest team that ever exists in Canada sports. Yeah, 991 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:42,040 Speaker 1: I mean, it's the same as basketball. It's like America's 992 00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:46,520 Speaker 1: America sport right anyways, but hey, maybe Canada. You know 993 00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:51,200 Speaker 1: how they have that small town where the sorry I'm 994 00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,080 Speaker 1: just trolling. It's not a village. Ottawa and it's the 995 00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:59,040 Speaker 1: capital and their capital city a small town town. Yeah, 996 00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:03,719 Speaker 1: it's all love. It's Ottawa. There's capital cities. Yeah, river 997 00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,879 Speaker 1: freezes over and they'll ice skate to work and it's 998 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:10,719 Speaker 1: a beautiful, magical land. And we just beat you in 999 00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:14,120 Speaker 1: women's hockey. So Jack, they're gonna remember that when you 1000 00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,640 Speaker 1: are fleeing with your family to immigrate. They're gonna be like, 1001 00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:22,719 Speaker 1: oh wait, Jack O'Brien, hold on, yeah, up takes on. 1002 00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:26,960 Speaker 1: This gonna get the fun back into California anyway, Yes, 1003 00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,680 Speaker 1: but that happened. But also, let's really talk about the 1004 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:33,920 Speaker 1: real news. Okay, peeps, you like peeps. I don't mind them. 1005 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:35,319 Speaker 1: I wouldn't go out of my way to find them, 1006 00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:37,760 Speaker 1: but you know what I feel like for any American 1007 00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:41,759 Speaker 1: person around Eastern time, those just grotesque things pop up. 1008 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,360 Speaker 1: And they've announced like a bunch of new flavors, which 1009 00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,319 Speaker 1: for starters. I don't like peeps at all, the same 1010 00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:50,799 Speaker 1: as candy corn. I try it every year, or like 1011 00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,040 Speaker 1: every however often i'm around. I'm like, oh, maybe it'll 1012 00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,600 Speaker 1: be different flavor this year. It's a shitty, but they 1013 00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,239 Speaker 1: have new flavors now, Hold onto your butts because they 1014 00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:04,239 Speaker 1: have ne Apollo flavor. Uh, they have sour cherry pancakes, 1015 00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:07,799 Speaker 1: and syrup cherry might actually be good. My problem with 1016 00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:10,800 Speaker 1: it is just that it's so dull, pouring like white 1017 00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,000 Speaker 1: sugar into your mouth. Like it's just like the taste 1018 00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,880 Speaker 1: of sugar and nothing else. So if you give me 1019 00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,920 Speaker 1: a little sour, you give me a little something, I 1020 00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,200 Speaker 1: might be into it. And they also have orange sherbet, 1021 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:29,360 Speaker 1: lemon sherbet, and three mystery flavors. You know, that's like much, 1022 00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,719 Speaker 1: you think, but that would be insane if people are like, oh, like, 1023 00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,120 Speaker 1: now we have green tea.

Marshmallows in general 1026 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:48,240 Speaker 1: don't really appeal to me unless my hot coco cocoa.

They're very It's like they found a way, 1035 00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,400 Speaker 1: they found a way to add more sugar to Girl 1036 00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,120 Speaker 1: Scott cookies. They like jammed it in there and it's 1037 00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:25,200 Speaker 1: like the sweetest cookie they've released yet. But I like 1038 00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,880 Speaker 1: it a lot.

And then, like any good American person, 1041 00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:36,640 Speaker 1: you eat seven more straight, one after the other, and 1042 00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,560 Speaker 1: then you just get into the motion of eating them continually. 1043 00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:41,600 Speaker 1: And then I devoured in time.
