And for people outside of 46 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 2: Michigan or people inside of Michigan, they'll get this that 47 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: Holland is a group of people that have like a 48 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 2: stiff upper lip, right, they've kind of got that very 49 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 2: they're very, very Christian. They don't really talk about dirty stuff. 50 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: And your show had some dirty stuff in it, a 51 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 2: few swear words, and you were sitting there like, I'm 52 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: not sure how this is going to go over with 53 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: the Holland crowd. 54 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 3: Like the very conservative Holland crowd, they loved you. 55 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 2: It was I mean, you really are so funny, and 56 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 2: it was like they're guilty pleasure to come out and 57 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: just listen to someone be funny. And I think that's 58 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 2: how we all feel about comedy these days. If you 59 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 2: are laughing at comedians, you're like, oh my gosh, I 60 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 2: don't want people to really know that I think it's funny, 61 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 2: but we should be allowed to laugh. 62 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 4: A billion percent. But you got to ease up on 63 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 4: the compliments because I'm going to have to get my 64 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 4: drink deliver raids. So that's it's you know, you're you're 65 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 4: you're helping and hurting. I'm kidding. But here's the check 66 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 4: to comedy. And this is why the people got it 67 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 4: in Holland and they get it everywhere else. Most people, Tutor, 68 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 4: know the difference between a joke and a hate crime. 69 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 4: But what's happened in the age of social media is 70 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 4: like we're dealing with a weaponized type of censorship where 71 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 4: they're kind of blurring the lines between jokes and you know, 72 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 4: actual threats to the rest of the world. 73 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: But what you find as a comic, and this is 74 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: very important. 75 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 4: Okay, is you hear an adage thrown around a lot 76 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 4: called read the room. Oh, you got to read the room. 77 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 4: But the truth is, Tutor, I say this all the time. 78 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 4: If you're a real comic, your job is to lead 79 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 4: the room. You don't look around and let that's them 80 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 4: set the terms of the negotiation. You're the only dude 81 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 4: with the mic. So if you notice, like when I 82 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 4: come on stage, I kind of issue a disclaimer that yes, 83 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 4: I'm going to say a bunch of things that would 84 00:03:59,040 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 4: get me fired on team. 85 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: But that's the whole. But it's true. It's absolutely true. 86 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 4: And I kind of make this explanation that I was 87 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 4: a federal cat and Fox domesticated me and took me 88 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 4: in the house. I said, and you know, this is 89 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 4: my chance to get out of the house and kill 90 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 4: a few birds. You dig, And that's what I'm kind 91 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 4: of doing for an hour, is I'm giving them the 92 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 4: same permission I have. 93 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: Because the truth is, everybody wants that. 94 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 4: Like when you're laughing, Okay, when you're laughing, you are 95 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 4: isolated with pure joy. 96 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: It's the greatest thing you could ever hope for on 97 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: this earth. 98 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 4: So I think if you're just willing to confidently fly 99 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 4: into that storm, I think audiences are on board. 100 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: I think it's always been a tyranny of the minority 101 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: when it comes. 102 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 2: To don't you think that has always been the appeal 103 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: of Trump in the political space, is that he jokes around. 104 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 2: People see him as just a regular person. They see 105 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: him as they see themselves in him. And that's why 106 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 2: you've seen more and more, I would say more politicians, 107 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 2: but even more people on TV news anchors even becoming 108 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: more personal, sharing their own stories, sharing their lives. Because 109 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 2: people like to feel like they're around someone they know 110 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 2: that's like them. 111 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: They want a real person. 112 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 4: They don't need like a carefully curated SoundBite that was 113 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 4: clearly combed over by five strategists. 114 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: Before it came out out of the guy's mouth. That is, 115 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: you're right. 116 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 4: The hook of Trump is like Trump ran for president 117 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 4: the way most people run for president of their fantasy 118 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 4: football league. Like he's just insulting everyone on the group chat. 119 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,239 Speaker 4: There's memes, there's yomama jokes, but people like it because, 120 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 4: like you know, like you said, it's refreshing, and he is, 121 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 4: it's funny. The tail end of all of that, what 122 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 4: we called cancel culture is I think people got so 123 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 4: sick of having to worry about what they say that 124 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 4: it was kind of refreshing to see someone who didn't 125 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:42,679 Speaker 4: worry about what he said. 126 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: And I do think nuts as appealed. 127 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 2: So speaking of cancel culture, Lizzo, she has been this 128 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 2: like champion of You're not going to tell me what 129 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 2: my body should look like. I'm going to be a singer, 130 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 2: I'm going to dance. I'm going to dance really with 131 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: barely any clothes on and probably not be the typical 132 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 2: person you want to see dancing with barely any clothes on. 133 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 3: But now, and. 134 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 2: This was like embraced right when we would talk about 135 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 2: the new body type, where like Lizo is the new 136 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: body type. Now I don't necessarily agree that that's what 137 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 2: we should be aspiring to, but the idea is you're 138 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 2: not going to wait shame people. This is going to 139 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 2: be We're going to accept all body types and say 140 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 2: they're beautiful, whether or not people with COVID are getting 141 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 2: sicker because they're overweight, or weight causes all kinds of 142 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 2: other problems. We're going to accept this, yeah, now, But 143 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 2: now it sounds like Lizo might not be accepting this 144 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 2: because she has a lawsuit slapped against her saying she's 145 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: weight shame people. She's done some other other things that 146 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: I would say are over and above the weight shaming 147 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 2: that we could get into too. 148 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 3: But the way shaming I find interesting. 149 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, definitely. 150 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 4: And to be clear, they're right in the saying that 151 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 4: all types of bodies can be attractive. And if you 152 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 4: don't believe them, you should see my search history. But 153 00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 4: stick with Okay, where's everybody going? I thought we were 154 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 4: recording this, what's happening? What do you mean by MIC's 155 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 4: cut off. 156 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: Stick with me. 157 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 4: Okay, I thought we're having a good time. Okay, it's 158 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 4: absolutely true. But the reality is when you're pushing that 159 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 4: very specific body type as you you know noted, it 160 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 4: does come with increased health risk, which is bad. That's 161 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 4: why I've always said the best thing Lizzo could do 162 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 4: for society would be to become a Republican because if 163 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 4: she was a Republican, you know, they would completely turn 164 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 4: on her and she wouldn't be body positive and fabulous. 165 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 4: They would call her every name known to man for 166 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 4: an overweight person, like look what they do to a 167 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 4: gay conservative, Look what they do to a black conservative. 168 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 4: Lizzo is a Republican. If she get on Twitter right now, 169 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 4: is like, I'm a Republican. Okay, she wouldn't be brave, 170 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 4: she would be fat, according to the Democrats, not me. 171 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: She's fine, it's great. 172 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 4: But the fact that she's flipping out on people I 173 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 4: love because what's happening is tutor, and I guarantee you 174 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 4: this is the case. 175 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: Okay, when people tea. 176 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 4: I don't want to call it woke, but when you 177 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 4: get you know, so to speak, you start riding this 178 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 4: wave of empowerment. You go, girl, you're brave for not 179 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 4: wearing makeup. Or this guy's great he doesn't shower, he's 180 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 4: standing up to norms of showering. I'm like, that guy's 181 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 4: not brave. The guy who sits next to him on 182 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 4: the bus is break okay. The other guy's not brave, 183 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 4: he's just a JRT bit okay. But what happens is 184 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 4: I don't doubt she liked she started to ride that 185 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 4: wave because there was a lot of notoriety and it 186 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 4: felt good. 187 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: Everyone said I'm braving and'm fabulous. 188 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, probably doesn't like 189 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 4: feeling that way all the time. I can tell you 190 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 4: that I'm not, you know, saying I'm a mandy, But 191 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 4: if I wasn't on cable news, I'd probably be a 192 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 4: before model, you know what I'm saying. 193 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: I'd be in like half of the split screen. 194 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 4: And like, if you're like fat fat, it's not comfortable, 195 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 4: Like when it's hot, are you gonna travel? 196 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: Or you ever go on a rollercoaster? Fat? I mean 197 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: you haven't, but it's not ideal. So I don't doubt 198 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: they were. 199 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: Hey, I had twins, so I know what it's like 200 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: to have a lot of extrade on your rat. 201 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 4: And what I like about you is you didn't bother 202 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 4: getting rid of it after I'm kidding, I love the time. 203 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 4: What do you mean I thought we were friends? 204 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: I think we could just be kidding. I love you, 205 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: but stick with me. Okay. 206 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 4: The whole hook of it is, I don't doubt there's 207 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 4: a part of her that resents the kind of the 208 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 4: kind of role they've built for her. 209 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: You know what I mean. She's an artist, she's creative. 210 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 4: She writes songs, which means she wants the intellectual latitude 211 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 4: to go wherever her creative instincts take her. And the 212 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 4: woke left was just like, no, no, you're just big girl. Now, 213 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 4: we just want to hear from big girl. 214 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: It's Friday Night. You're big. You're happy about being big. 215 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: Everybody else is big should be happy, and they have 216 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: every right to be. 217 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 4: But as an artist, it probably becomes frustrating to be 218 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 4: the one note. 219 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 2: Guy or yeah, yeah, remember remember I think it was 220 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 2: Adele who lost a bunch of weight. And then the 221 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 2: left came out and they were like, but you didn't 222 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 2: do it the right way. 223 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: She was though, this is part of it. 224 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 4: Though she was the only human who lost weight during 225 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 4: the pandemic and. 226 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: Everyone everyone was mad. 227 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 4: That was the best part about it is if you 228 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 4: saw Pundit's talking about it on TV, I'm like, dude, 229 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 4: you got a little ranch dressing on your face there, 230 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 4: literally chewing like she. 231 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: Did this right away. This, I know. 232 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: The COVID was brutal for all of us, and I 233 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 2: think that's why people embrace the fact that, oh, like 234 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 2: she's a performer. 235 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 3: This is okay. 236 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 2: You see all of these things now, like people, all 237 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 2: performers got overweight. I mean, look at Sam Smith, whatever 238 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 2: is happening there is just increasing in size as well. 239 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 3: But this is brave. But look at these performances. 240 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 2: Okay, they've gotten more sexualized and more sexualized. And this 241 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 2: has been a complaint that we've had for years over 242 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl's performance. The halftime performance is like, can 243 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 2: we even have kids watch the halftime performance anymore? So now, 244 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 2: like part of this complaint about Lizzo is that she 245 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 2: had them perform at this Amsterdam club and it was 246 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 2: incredibly sexualized there, and people are like, oh my gosh, 247 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 2: there were dildo's launching out of people's private parts, bananas 248 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 2: being eaten from them. This is outrageous, And I'm like, 249 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 2: does this really surprise us? I No, I mean when 250 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 2: we look at these performances, are you like horrified by this? 251 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 2: I'm like, this is literally a person who is going 252 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 2: out in the most scantily clad outfit, like she is 253 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 2: as has as tiny amount of coverage of her private parts, 254 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 2: Like why are we shocked by this? 255 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 4: By the way, can you resay the part about the 256 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 4: sex party just a little slower? 257 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 3: No, because this is a family show. 258 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: I can't. No, I could tell, but stick with it there. 259 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 4: Okay, First of all, the reason there's backlash is because 260 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 4: a lot of the people okay, understand that wind up 261 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 4: at that party, you know, didn't know. 262 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: That that's what they were walking into. 263 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 4: You know what I mean when it comes to the 264 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 4: sex party in that performance, Like normally, if people want 265 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 4: to see that sort of thing in twenty twenty three, 266 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 4: they go to a liberal kindergarten class. 267 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: You know this sort of thing. 268 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 4: An answer, Dan, what do you think?

Like 271 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 4: in that regard, this is also opportunistic on the part 272 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 4: of the people suing Lizzo. You knew the deal, you 273 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, Like, Yeah, it's like if you've 274 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 4: got a job singing backup for Bob Marley, you can't 275 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 4: sue because you smell like weed at the end of 276 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 4: the concert. 277 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 1: Okay, we know that's the deal.

That's the part I 282 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 4: don't buy. But they can sue because this is the 283 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 4: one thing that's thrown off our compass. 284 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: It's important. 285 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 4: Okay, we've broken our compass in society because we've switched 286 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 4: the roles of what we champion. We used to champion 287 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 4: here's to the winners, but now it's a society of 288 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 4: victimhood over victorhood. And people now leave the house not 289 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 4: looking to conquer, but to be wronged, but to find 290 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 4: some type of grief in their day to day existence 291 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 4: that can be exploited for notoriety or promotion or a lawsuit. 292 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 4: And it's kind of like to me, it bothers me 293 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 4: because we're just rewarding the worst people. You know, it 294 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 4: has not even to do with their political affiliation. You're 295 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 4: just terrible if you do that. 296 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 2: In either part, Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll 297 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 2: continue next on a Tutor Dixon podcast. Don't you think 298 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 2: that the people like Lizo are the people that have 299 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 2: created this society because they are the ones who are saying, 300 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 2: like you should feel like a victim. You should go 301 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 2: out there and fight this and tell them that they're 302 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 2: hurting you. But this is what I say about even 303 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 2: in the political world. I'm like, be careful what you 304 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 2: wish for, because this is coming back for you. When 305 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 2: I look at all these indictments right now, I'm like, 306 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 2: why are you doing this? 307 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 3: Because you know it's coming back for you. 308 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 2: I've had a lot of people say to me, don't 309 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 2: you think that we should be impeaching Joe Biden right now? 310 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 2: And I'm like, get him out of office. Why would 311 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 2: we go through another year and a half of watching 312 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 2: paying for all of these hearings when it'll help him 313 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 2: get back into office. Just float him out, use the 314 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 2: tactics they use, and show the truth on television. 315 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 3: Don't do this. 316 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 2: I mean, we just continue to go back and forth 317 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 2: at each other with legal stuff and never move the 318 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 2: country forward. 319 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 4: Well, that's that's the problem right now. As a parent, 320 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 4: you've seen this. I know some of the viewers have 321 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 4: seen this. There's always that story where a kid doesn't 322 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 4: want to share a toy, you know what I'm saying, 323 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 4: and the two kids tear on the toy so much 324 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 4: it just breaks in half. And that really does feel 325 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 4: like what the country is right now. It's like we're 326 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 4: both fighting for possession of the toy and it's just 327 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 4: ripping apart in the backseat of the car like I'm 328 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 4: gonna I'm going to turn this car around to or 329 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 4: if you guys. 330 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 2: Don't behave yeah, we we I'll give you an example that 331 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 2: just came out in Michigan today. The Whitmer administration is 332 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 2: giving seventy five hundred I think it's seventy five hundred 333 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 2: dollars to any mom in Flint who for you know, 334 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 2: anyone who's pregnant, anyone who has a baby automatically is 335 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 2: getting seventy five hundred dollars. And honestly, what is the 336 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 2: argument there. Flint is a very depressed area. These people 337 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 2: will they need this money, This is for a pro 338 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 2: life person, you should be like, absolutely, yes, this is fantastic. 339 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 2: This is telling these moms to have the baby, will 340 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 2: help you with the medical care. All of that is 341 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 2: that should be a good thing. You've got Republicans coming 342 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: out and saying you're just going to give out checks. 343 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 3: Willy nilly. 344 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 2: I'm like, what this is the argument over the toy 345 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 2: and breaking it. You should be saying, good, this is 346 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 2: a good thing. 347 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. 348 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 4: Absolutely, I mean if your pro life in the long run, 349 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 4: that would be the win. But this is the part 350 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 4: is like everything has to be a battle line now, 351 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 4: and that's stupid, Like it's stupid when either party does it, 352 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 4: because you kind of discredit yourself because there are moments 353 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 4: where objective observers watch and go, there's really no reason 354 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 4: to be mad here. This is performative and when you 355 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 4: look performatively angry or you know, performatively contesting an issue 356 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 4: that shouldn't be contested, that's when you kind of discredit yourself. 357 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 4: I mean, it's if you would have really taken this 358 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 4: to a big box. That's what I'm with a border wall. 359 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 4: I mean, most people, okay know that we should have 360 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 4: some type of a border wall, because both political parties 361 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 4: have supported it prior to Trump coming down the escalator 362 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 4: and being like build a wall, you know, and when 363 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 4: you realize that people are opposing that just for the 364 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 4: political expediency, it discredits them. So to your point about Michigan, yes, 365 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 4: you got to pick your battles better. 366 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: Right. 367 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 2: So that's a great example because in New York you're 368 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 2: living that right now. Where in New York they're going, hey, hey, 369 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 2: we got to close the borders of the city. Yes, 370 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 2: we can't take any more. And we're all going, this 371 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 2: is kind of what we've been saying. 372 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, And then they send these. 373 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 2: Flyers down to the border, and I love did you 374 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 2: see these flyers. They're literally like, go anywhere else. They 375 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 2: actually have arrows to other places in the country. Go 376 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 2: anyplace else. New York sucks. It's like New York's expensive. 377 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 2: It's like food is spars, don't come here. 378 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: It's like the coyotes tricking the road runner. They've painted 379 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: a city. 380 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 4: They've put up a picture of a city with like 381 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 4: the Empires building, trying to get him to walk that way. 382 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 4: That's embarrassing, and it's like it's the end result of 383 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 4: their policies, like certain basic things as a society we 384 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 4: should be able to agree on. But we live in 385 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 4: this age of incentivized conflict where we can't just shake 386 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 4: our heads and fight somewhere else. We have to fight everywhere. 387 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 4: It's rough, Tutor, it's rough. 388 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 389 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 2: No, it's the land of no compromise. You're exactly right. 390 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 2: It's not as because we are the one party believes something. 391 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 2: And I always say, we have to live in absolutes 392 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 2: right now, and that is painful because no matter what 393 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 2: you do, if you have I even talk about a 394 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 2: friend of mine who's she got divorced. She said, oh, 395 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 2: he always wanted this, He never cleaned this, and he says, 396 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 2: she always wanted this and she never did this, And 397 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 2: I'm like, it was always in nevers. And when you 398 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 2: live in that, it's even for two people, it is 399 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 2: impossible to stay together. And so we are now two 400 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 2: parties that are in living in absolutes. Either you have 401 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 2: the border totally closed and no immigration reformer. You have 402 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 2: the bord are totally open. And the reality is both 403 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 2: people on both sides know that's unreasonable. There is a 404 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 2: place to meet in the middle, but it is all 405 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 2: about election time now, and it is all about how 406 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 2: much can we manipulate the minds of the American people, 407 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 2: and so people are so confused, and there's why are 408 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 2: people not questioning things anymore? It used to be that 409 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 2: we were very inquisitive society and now we are very tribal. 410 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 3: Like my group says this. 411 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh definitely. 412 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 4: And it's not that the country is like breaking up 413 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 4: per se, but both parties have started a tender profile 414 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 4: that the other one doesn't know about. It's definitely definitely 415 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 4: looking around on the side. 416 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: I'm not going to lie to you. It's a weird time. 417 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 4: But what I think it's a byproduct of is we 418 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 4: live in like it's the most intellectually lazy time that 419 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 4: we've ever seen. And I think part of that stems 420 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 4: from the convenience of the smartphone. Everything is you know, 421 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 4: just it's beyond instant gratification. They now have like an 422 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 4: app called like Amazon Tomorrow, where it sends you what 423 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 4: it knows you'll want tomorrow, you know, minority report for shots. 424 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 4: Yeah exactly. It's like, we saw the way you left 425 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 4: work today, You're going to want this. I'm like, whoa, 426 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 4: And it's probably gonna get there in like the next 427 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 4: year and a half, which is scary. But I think 428 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 4: part of the inconvenience of political disagreement is why we 429 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 4: can't coexist anymore. It's like there's a button on my 430 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 4: phone that'll get me pants in an hour, food in 431 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 4: an hour, any literally, anything you want, you just hit 432 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 4: a button on your phone. 433 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: So if I want to watch a video, I can 434 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: hit a button. 435 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 4: It'll hit a satellite in space and bounce back to 436 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 4: my phone in a second and start playing. 437 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: But so the. 438 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 4: Idea of a human being being like I heard what 439 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 4: you said, but seems so inconvenient. Now we're just like, well, 440 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 4: if this person could catch fire, you know, how about 441 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 4: we just never talk again. And I think it's that 442 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 4: coupled with the fact that the tribal nature of our 443 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 4: politics that you mentioned earlier, just means that people need 444 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,959 Speaker 4: to be pointed in the direction of how to feel, 445 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 4: because the politics now are more about a brand than 446 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 4: they are about a country, than they are about a 447 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 4: collective investment in a greater good. So it's like you 448 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 4: can look at the Biden, you know, potential impeachment, and 449 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 4: I could get on the radio and tell you in 450 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 4: thirty seconds why you should feel the way you should, 451 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 4: And if you want to be a conservative, you could 452 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 4: just run with whatever I tell you. And the same 453 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 4: goes if you're on a liberal. If you were a 454 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 4: liberal and you want to do this, credit it. But 455 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 4: the truth is, if people had a little more intellectual curiosity, 456 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 4: I think a lot of the places where we've been 457 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 4: wronged wouldn't have happened, like lockdowns, like vaccine mandates, like 458 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 4: not having a border wall. I think a lot of 459 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 4: the things that happened that harm us all as a 460 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 4: collective are the byproduct of us being divided. That's why 461 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 4: I hope we can get back to this other thing 462 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 4: where it's like, you know, we don't have to like 463 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 4: each other. You know, the seventy eight Yankees tutors before 464 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 4: your time. But the seventy eight Yankees used to actually 465 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 4: beat each other up in the locker room, but they 466 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 4: won the World Series, you dig, So we don't have 467 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 4: to get along in the locker room. We don't, okay, 468 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 4: we just it's twenty twenty three. We don't have to 469 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 4: get along in the locker room. 470 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: We don't all have to share the same locker room. 471 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 4: You know, as many times as I've tried to get 472 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 4: into the women's room over the years. 473 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: The point I'm trying to make. 474 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 3: Is we you can't now. 475 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I mean. I'm in. 476 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 3: It's that big deal. 477 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: I hit the lottery. 478 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 4: But yeah, everybody's just got everybody's got a chill out. 479 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 4: That's where you could help the most. Let's take a 480 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 4: quick commercial break. We'll continue next on the Tutor Dixon Podcast. 481 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 2: I heard Greg Gottfeld say something the other night, and 482 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 2: it was a different way of thinking about it for 483 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 2: me because he was saying, Man, when I was a kid, 484 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 2: my teachers weren't talking to me about politics. And I've 485 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 2: thought about this a lot, like I never even even college, 486 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 2: it was not nobody cared. We were just talking about 487 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 2: where we were going out. No one cared about politics 488 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 2: when I was in college, and it's changed so much. 489 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 2: But now it's in the lower schools as well. And 490 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 2: he made a really good point because I started to think, Wow, 491 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 2: my teachers, I knew nothing about their political their politics, 492 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 2: or how they felt. And so I didn't have a 493 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 2: conflict when I was a kid, because now everybody knows 494 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 2: if their parents are Republicans or Democrats, because it is 495 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 2: ingrained in every part of what we do. And then 496 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 2: your teacher is telling you I'm a Democrat or I'm 497 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 2: a Republican. Generally they're not. They're telling them I'm a 498 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 2: democrat and your parents are wrong. So you are in 499 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 2: a really tough spot because when you're a little kid, 500 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 2: your parents can do nothing wrong in your mind. But 501 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 2: when you're a little kid, your teacher also can do 502 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 2: nothing wrong. So that's where you start having this conflict. 503 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 2: And they start talking about social emotional learning. They throw 504 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 2: that in like you might have turmoil in your heart 505 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 2: right now, and maybe you have mental health problems. Well, 506 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 2: you do have turmoil because it's being created in this 507 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 2: society that is constantly trying to choose absolutes where you 508 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 2: have to fit. 509 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 4: That's why the kids like my son who don't show 510 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 4: up to class are better off in the long run. 511 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: It's like, we make. 512 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 3: Funnel lin I met him. I don't believe that was 513 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 3: much smarter. 514 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 4: We make fun of link. Well, where's the bar on 515 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 4: that one. I went to community college and majored in 516 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 4: intro to xbox like a minor in weed in rap music. 517 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: And look at me now, look at me now, Tutor Dixon. 518 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 2: Well, hey, America's beautiful opportunity for everyone. 519 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 4: In an amazing But you're right. What they're doing in 520 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 4: kids now, and this is really frustrating to me, is 521 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 4: they're just denying them the right to be a kid, 522 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 4: like you know, when you were younger, when you're younger. 523 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 4: At some point, everybody watching this can recall a moment 524 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 4: where an adult said to them. 525 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: Oh, you're lucky you're a kid. Enjoy it. This is 526 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: the best time of your life. 527 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 4: Do you remember someone saying that to you when you 528 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 4: were like twelve or ten or eight? 529 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, ye back last week, yeah no, maybe, But. 530 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 4: Looking back now, you realize that person's speech was probably 531 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 4: a little slurred. They were probably stressed out from bills 532 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 4: or a marriage or whatever. But the point is they 533 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 4: were dealing with adult adversity because they had to. 534 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 3: Okay, they were like, don't get to this, dude, don't. 535 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: Look at me, look at me. 536 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 4: Okay, but understand, okay, those were adult adversities that kids 537 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 4: used to be shielded from to the extent that they 538 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 4: could be. 539 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: We didn't deal them in on any of the nonsense. 540 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: And that was the hook. 541 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 4: Like even in the mafia, they say like women and 542 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 4: children are off limits. But in the political mafia, the 543 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 4: children are absolutely not off limits. They're the targets getting 544 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 4: shot at the hardest because they're trying to pump them 545 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 4: full of those ideologies and those gender conflicts. Like can 546 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 4: you imagine like little kids would never naturally walk into 547 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 4: kindergarten thinking they were trapped in the wrong body. In fact, 548 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 4: they're just a few years removed from escaping a different body, 549 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. 550 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: They're four, five, six years old. 551 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 4: They just they got out of a body, like they're 552 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 4: still in the new one right now. They don't know 553 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 4: that they're trapped. They haven't even you know, made all 554 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 4: the payments on the vehicle yet it's very new. People 555 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 4: are throwing changing it. But the point is in introducing 556 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 4: those conflicts now at a younger age, as you probably know, 557 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 4: it's just making them more receptive to that identity politics mindset, 558 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 4: which I think is like it drives me so crazy 559 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 4: because I really think that is crushing people's self worth 560 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 4: because your identity is like the least interesting thing about you. 561 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 2: You know, it's crushing people and it's building this power dynamic. 562 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 2: This just recently happened where someone who had worked for 563 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 2: me on the campaign, had a group of friends say 564 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 2: because you were a part of this, you can no 565 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 2: longer be a part of us. And then we were 566 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 2: talking about this at work and another person chimes in 567 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 2: and they're like, oh yeah, I also had that happen, 568 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 2: and I'm like. 569 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I feel horrible. You know why. 570 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 2: They These are people who have not taken the time 571 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 2: to get to know me or learn anything. They see 572 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 2: ads and they assume that that's who you are, like 573 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 2: you're this horrible beast, you know. But then it's not. 574 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 2: You know, it's fine if you I always felt like, okay, 575 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 2: I can take it. It's fine if you go after 576 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 2: me because I chose this, But then I see all 577 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 2: of these people that I love that are around me 578 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 2: who didn't choose this. 579 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 3: They are just here, They're in my landscape. 580 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 2: And because they're in my landscape, people are then looking 581 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 2: at them and they're saying like, this is your portrait 582 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 2: and you this is who you are. And so that 583 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 2: is destroying young people too, because they are being held 584 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 2: to the standard of if you come out in any 585 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 2: way and say that you support life or you support 586 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 2: a border wall or any of these things, if you're 587 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 2: caught in this group of new you know, the new 588 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 2: generation coming in. If you're caught in that in support 589 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 2: of that, you're shunned. I mean you're shunned. 590 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's nuts. 591 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 4: And it frustrates me that they do base that opinion 592 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 4: of you on like commercials, because if they took the 593 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 4: time to get to know you, they'd know there were 594 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 4: other reasons not to like you. I'm frustrated. It's like 595 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 4: you guys, are you guys are playing the game on rookie. 596 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 4: You could get to all Madden here and you'd really 597 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 4: have some intel. I kid, but you're right. And the 598 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 4: idea that we're ostracizing anybody, it's just it's really petty, man, and. 599 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 2: There's a lot of power in it though for the 600 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 2: people who have decided to vote you off the island, but. 601 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 4: The worst people. That's the point where it's back to 602 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 4: the victimhood mentality. You're getting voted off the island because 603 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 4: they've portrayed your views as a threat to other people. 604 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: Hey, we as your potential. 605 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 4: Victims, are weaponizing our power to throw you off the island. 606 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 4: It's like, yo, if you can ban people you disagree with, 607 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 4: you're not actually oppressed. 608 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: You know. 609 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 4: That was like one of my favorite moments of covering 610 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 4: this era of rage. Okay, is there was a pride 611 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,479 Speaker 4: parade in Denver a few years back where they were 612 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 4: it was the summer of twenty twenty, I believe, and 613 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 4: they were banning the cops from coming. They're like, the 614 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 4: cops can't calm, They're a threat to the black community. 615 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 1: We don't want them here. 616 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 4: Never mind that there are loads of gay cops out there, obviously, 617 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 4: but they tried to ostracize the cops because that was 618 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 4: the fashionable thing to do. But if you're out there 619 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 4: presenting yourself as an oppressed group and you can tell 620 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 4: the cops are not welcome at your parade, like, dude, 621 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,239 Speaker 4: you're not oppressed, tudor gay Pride parade in Iran. The 622 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 4: cops are common, Dude, They're common, whether you're invited them 623 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 4: or not. Like it might be the shortest parade in history. 624 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 4: And I'm not saying I'm not saying Iran should be 625 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 4: the model for the rest of us. I'm saying, perspective 626 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 4: is something we don't have anymore, and it's because of 627 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 4: this tribal nature of just othering other people that's so dangerous. 628 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 2: And that was the really the Britney Griner moment when 629 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 2: everybody said, oh wait a minute, do you now see 630 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 2: why it's great that you can decide not to sing 631 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 2: the national anthem, decide to kneel during the national anthem, Like, 632 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 2: that's the great thing about this country. You are not oppressed. 633 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 2: You can do whatever you want. And there are things 634 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 2: that are not great. I mean it's not perfect, but 635 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 2: there's no one better. There's no country that's coming to 636 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 2: save you if America falls, because there is no other America. 637 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 2: There aren't people trying to break into other countries like 638 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 2: they are the United States. 639 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 3: Because it's so amazing. 640 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 2: And I honestly I'm grateful that you came on today 641 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 2: because I think that you are one of those stories 642 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 2: of just a guy who lived had a great up family, 643 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 2: upbringing and drove a cab in New York City and 644 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 2: now look at you.
