We're in the middle 23 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: of some I guess political stuff because Suga is gonna 24 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: be our our current prime minister who was appointed by 25 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: Prime Minister Abbey last year when he quit because he 26 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: couldn't well.

Then 166 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: I'm the one being an asshole, right, So I had 167 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: to had to check that real quick, and it goes 168 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: to is fundraising for the Costume Institute of the met Anyway, 169 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: I I shouldn't yuck somebody's yum, you know what I mean? 170 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: The fashion is important and cool and like a totally 171 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: valid art form. And yes, like historic fashions are are 172 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,719 Speaker 1: very interesting. Um, they got like seven centuries worth in 173 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: their collections, so it's I think it's a repository of 174 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: some amazing human feats, which is why I had a 175 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: second answer for overrated. And I'm sure it's something that's 176 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: been on the show before. It's definitely not a hot take. 177 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: I think monarchies are overrated. Again, I stopped with the 178 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 1: ms on the list, just like in general, all monarchies 179 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: I feel like are overrated. And a lot of folks 180 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:10,719 Speaker 1: who live in monarchical societies have very clearly told me 181 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: that they disagree with that, with that idea, yeah, because 182 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: there's this symbolism, you know, and there's this culture, there's 183 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: this tradition, this defines our you know, group identity or whatever. 184 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: But also I have to point out there are some 185 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: there are some royals who would tend to agree with 186 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: that because they left in the case the UK, right, 187 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: and they to Canada, I think, and California, California, and uh, 188 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: I I don't know, you know, maybe one of my 189 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 1: friends was telling me I was being a jerk about 190 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: this because he was like, you know what it is, dude, 191 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: I think you're just mad that you weren't born into 192 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: a monarchy because they would be all about it. They 193 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: hate us because I had Yeah, I had a momentary 194 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: the Trump presidency where I started wondering if monarchies are 195 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: better because they like separate out the pageant tree and 196 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 1: like the like there's something almost like spiritual about like 197 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: the what like the role of the monarchy and it. 198 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:21,559 Speaker 1: But they're completely powerless, which is like now nowadays, which 199 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: I think is nice, so that you just have bureaucrats 200 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: who are in the leadership roles and not somebody who, 201 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: like you're trying to ascribe this like religious like aura 202 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: around which I think America has the monarchy and the 203 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: prime minister role kind of combined into a single position 204 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: in the president and that's our country. Yeah. But yeah, 205 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: also the monarchy is kind of weird. It's kind of weird. 206 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: I mean the end of the day, no matter who 207 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: you think is empower, there's plenty of information out there 208 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: to tell you who is really empower And then you 209 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: go from there because it's it seems like they're no 210 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: one is like seems more or less susceptible to this 211 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But I don't know, it's I'm like, 212 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: i've gotta marriage. Yeah we have, like ours is the 213 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: first family and that it's just put in. Everyone just 214 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: thinks that no one can do wrong there because the president, 215 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: Like there is this weird default that the president could 216 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: never do anything wrong when you say things like presidents 217 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: are most they're you know, their war criminals. If you 218 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: really look at all on paper they're committing oh at all, Like, 219 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: let's not talk about it, not my president. Yeah, well 220 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: there's a reason that the US has never agreed to 221 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: giving the International Criminal Court any sort of jurisdiction and 222 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: pump the brakes real quick if the conversation ever gets 223 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: within a mile of that direction. But I like, I 224 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: see what you're saying. There's also definitely a valid argument 225 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: that the US and practice is an aristocracy. It has 226 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: a lot of aristocratic values, you know, like to your point, 227 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: miles follow the money to find the power, things like 228 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: that it goes quickly into some cynical, possibly conspiratorial territory, 229 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: but that does not make it untrue. And you know that, Jack, 230 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: the thing about that powerless you say, we're all relatively 231 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: toothless idea of a monarchy, like a constitutional monarchy or 232 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: some other kind of copy added monarchy. If I remember 233 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: the law correctly. In the case of the United Kingdom, 234 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: the queen can technically do a lot of stuff like 235 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: can make a decree or can change the law, but 236 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: it's freezed some something like comma, with the understanding that 237 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: they won't actually do this right, which is yeah. I 238 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: mean that was the Earl of mont Botton in The Crown, 239 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: Like the last season of The Crown, there was a 240 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: like planned coup that they were trying to get like 241 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: this very popular ish like lord Aristocrat to organize, but 242 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: they would need the sign off of the queen, which 243 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: seems crazy, like if we get the queen, we're good. 244 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean it's not it's not perfect, but 245 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: in practice, what is something you think is underrated? Maggie 246 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: Late night fast food drive throughs MHM last night after 247 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: a show Danielle Perez and I went trying to find 248 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: some just some drive through fast food place, and it's 249 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: like this world is like opening back up, and like 250 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: l a restaurants never did stay open for like super long, 251 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: so these are kind of important. We went to like 252 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: two different drive throughs that were closed, and it's like, 253 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: excuse me, sir, Like we are in the middle of 254 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: we're hungry in a pandle, Like what are y'all doing? 255 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: Like this isn't necessary. I feel like late night fast 256 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: food drive throughs are unnecessary cog in the late night 257 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: sit Actually, this is why these are all essential jobs, 258 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like everything that is like 259 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: to keep us sustained, give us sustenance, whatever grocery store, 260 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: fast food things like that, we we need that, we 261 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: need to we need to exalt these people because at 262 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: the same time, there's so many times when you're left 263 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: with like the only option you do have is possibly 264 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: some kind of fast food or a gas station. I've 265 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: done before, and you don't want to make that. You 266 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: don't want to make that one am dinner at a 267 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: gas station. Yeah, it's not good. Sometimes you're just like, 268 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: oh man, I haven't eaten since lunch, and I got 269 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: to drive back to like wherever I live. Let me 270 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: just have a little something, a little nosh while I'm driving, 271 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: just to kind of, you know, keep my wits about 272 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: me and so I'm not like, you know, hungry and tired. 273 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: And it's that kind of thing. Who came through for 274 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: you after you you did that that search. Jack in 275 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: the Box came through, Jack Box came through. I will say, 276 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: though I am mad at Jack in the Box. Let 277 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: me say this to a bunch give you the floor 278 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: for this, thank you. A bunch of different fast food 279 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: eateries have taken away there french fry and squeezy cheese 280 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: kind of situation. And that's another underrated thing. Jack in 281 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: the Box got rid of their potato wedges. Taco Bell 282 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: keeps sucking around and taking their nacho fries back, and 283 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: when they bring them back, they bring them back for 284 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: a little more expensive and it's not a huge deal. 285 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: But don't think I didn't notice Taco Bell that that's 286 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: what y'all are doing. And it's like, cheese spreads are 287 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: so good, clearly, so someone needs to have a consistent 288 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: cheese fry on their menu. That's all I'm saying about it. Yeah, yeah, 289 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: it's like shake shack. But then they're not open late, 290 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: and that's like, you know, it's like that's a that's 291 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: a spend, you know, but you want to have because 292 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: oh remember when McDonald's did it for a second though, 293 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: they had cheesy bacon fries. It was like experimental thing 294 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: and then they took it from us. But yeah, I 295 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: love that's usually like that. It's funny that you say that, 296 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: because that's when in my mind, I go, oh, I'm 297 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: not giving a fuck about what I'm meeting today. It's 298 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: I usually go for some kind of cheese fry conglomeration 299 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: that is not good. But it doesn't feel like fries. 300 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: It feels more like I'm having a meal. There's cheese 301 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: because there because I need a fork. Yeah, suddenly the 302 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: context is different and this might have nutrients. I mean, 303 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: there's so many wild things happening with the supply chain. 304 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: If anybody knows why the cheesy fries keep going away, 305 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: let us know, because yeah, that's not unacceptable. We're probably 306 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: just in a minority, you know. Unfortunately, it's probably always money. 307 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: You know, but who doesn't like cheesy fries? Who's like, oh, yeah, 308 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: these fries are good enough as is. I'm glad there's 309 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: no good cheese on them. Yeah, nobody on this podcast. 310 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: Yeah we got Look, we got enough of America's problems 311 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 1: to deal with in this show, so stay focused. All right, 312 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll come back and 313 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: talk about some lesser problems. And we're back, and let's 314 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: check in with the California recall. The vote is mere 315 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: days away, one day, mere day away, and it you know, 316 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: the numbers, the polls, which are absolutely no indication of 317 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: what's going to happen, but it does affect how people 318 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: think about what's going to happen. Seemed to suggest Newsome 319 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: has has firmed up his position, but yeah, he's basically 320 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: just kind of gestured at the GOP and been like, 321 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: that is what you want. Yeah, the in the beginning, everyone, 322 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: I remember the first when a lot of the early 323 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: polling came out, You're like, oh my god, there's a 324 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: real fuck. There's a huge enthusiasm gap between Republicans who 325 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: just want to get get one in to try and 326 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: you know, out the governor and replace it with you know, 327 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 1: fucking want to be fascist Larry elder Well, and because 328 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: of the messaging that's come out because you know, they 329 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: relied on the powers of like Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, 330 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren. I think Joe Biden is gonna have made 331 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 1: an appearance or at some point, you know, like you 332 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,479 Speaker 1: have Obama tweeting about this and so many ads that 333 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: the gap has begun to tighten, and yeah, like you're saying, 334 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: this whole thing has nothing to really do about like, yo, 335 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: look what I did for the state. Because let's let's 336 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: be really clear, at the moment, Gavin Newsom hasn't decided 337 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: where he stands, like on a bill that is trying 338 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: to restructure warehouse standards that would essentially be it's very 339 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: much pointed at Amazon to give people, you know, time 340 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: to urinate, and he's still kind of like, hmm, look, 341 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: let me let me consider this. So we kind of 342 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 1: know we get with Gavin Newsom, but in comparison, what 343 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: he's doing is, hey, look over there, look at what 344 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna do. It's just essentially that if you pick 345 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,959 Speaker 1: the other guy, it's gonna exacerbate coronavirus the like the 346 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: pandemic because they're going to repeal all of the health 347 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: and safety measures and just basically being like, yeah, they're 348 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: gonna be like RHN de Santis or Donald Trump, and 349 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: that has I guess been enough for people are like, 350 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, yeah, we don't want that because he's 351 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: not he's not talking about his own record at all. 352 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: Every politician's dream, Yeah, running against a level of incompetence 353 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 1: or a bob that is being lowered so rapidly that 354 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: all you have to do is stand in front of 355 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 1: the soft focus of the nothing you've done, point over 356 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: there and be like, oh yeah, that looks pretty bad. 357 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: Huh right, Okay, yeah, I know, I I don't I'm 358 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: not really being unequivocal about whether I believe workers should 359 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: have the time to pee. But look at this though, 360 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: But get a lout of this guy. Look at this guy. 361 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: He tried to he tried to he ate his mask 362 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: on the steps of the Capitol. I'm mean, this is 363 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: this your governor? I don't know, um, but yeah, speaking 364 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: of that low bar, they're loving it. But more than anything, 365 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 1: it seems like the Democratic Party is also really starting 366 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: to see something that they can run on, which isn't like, hey, 367 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: remember all that ship we promised to you in the 368 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 1: presidential election, it's going to be more a mid term 369 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: thing of like the pandemic could go fully backwards if 370 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: you give these people more power because they're telling you 371 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: what they want to do, which is like all bets 372 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: are off. Let's embrace COVID again because we don't want rules, 373 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: which seems a little bit dangerous because the COVID situation 374 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: and the national mood with regards to COVID seems to 375 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: change from day to day, so like that it seems 376 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: like I don't know, I I might just like do 377 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: the things you promised to do and uh actually like 378 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: protect work shusha by husha by no, no, no, we're 379 00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: just gonna hushaby hush. I assume part of it because 380 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 1: of like ideology and the belief that Democrats are actually 381 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: meant to impact positive change. But it's it's sort of 382 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: odd to me when I think about it that if 383 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: a Republican runs against the idea of being like, you know, 384 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: look over there, it could be so much worse when 385 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 1: they when they don't have a platform or a campaign 386 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 1: to run on and just which is just pointing at 387 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: something else. It feels like quite a powerful political weapon, 388 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: and it's useful when the Democrats to it. You're like, no, no, 389 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: you don't get this one. Like, you don't get to 390 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: do this one. You have to you have to have ideas, right, 391 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: And it's like, I don't know if that's the framework 392 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: through what you see it as well, but it's sort 393 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: of yeah, I can't quite get my head around it. Well, 394 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: it's the I mean kind of think about it that way. 395 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: I feel like allows the Republicans to sort of set 396 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: the standard of what like, you know, the that you 397 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: just have to like fight at their level kind of 398 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: fox the fox the society. And unfortunately politicians do have power. Yeah, 399 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 1: they drag you down to the level and in that 400 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 1: guy you look at you down here in the mud. Yeah, 401 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: and this whole thing is, you know, in regards to 402 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: these stricter rules, Gavin Newsom has been pretty strict comparatively 403 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: with how he's running California, and certain mandates like and 404 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: whether or not they're asking for higher safety standards in 405 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: schools and things like that have sort of been kind 406 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: of the front of mind for him. And but there's 407 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: also you know McAuliffe in Virginia he's also been pretty 408 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 1: strict and overall they've seen that when the governors do 409 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: that it pulls even well like independence, So they're really 410 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: kind of sort of maneuver drafting behind this sentiment that 411 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,479 Speaker 1: exists in the country that so many people are like, 412 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: why are we fucking hand holding people who have reject 413 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: any notion that these vaccines and just basic safety standards 414 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: are gonna help us get out of this pandemic, Like 415 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: we we need to get a we we need to 416 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: sort of get side with people who are saying, please, 417 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: you know, lead us out of here, rather than kind 418 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: of like holding your hands up and be like, I 419 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: don't know, it's a local decision, like let's see what 420 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: you can do as a leader, and and that's that's 421 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: been I guess they've they've appreciated that bump in enthusiasm 422 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: over things like that. Yeah, I mean I appreciate it. 423 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: Like every indication, like we're about to talk about Biden, 424 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: like making mandates kind of the standard I I. Every 425 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: indication seems to be that they've got pulling that suggests 426 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: Americans are for majority like not the people we're seeing 427 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: in those uh school board meetings, but no, but they're 428 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: just the loudest, and you know, a lot of people 429 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: point to the fact that a lot of that behavior is, 430 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 1: you know, whether by design or not intended to give 431 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: people this like data to say like, you're not alone. 432 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: There's many of us like to join this movement when 433 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: it's it's a pretty vocal minority. And then along with 434 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: the governor election, I think we're also seeing what the 435 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: Republican strategy is going to be too, which is again 436 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: just screaming at the top of your lungs, they're gonna 437 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: steal the election. Because that's what Larry Elder, who has 438 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: been the sort of front runner if the recall goes through, 439 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: if it gets past, he said, quote, what I believe 440 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 1: is that no matter what they do, and I believe 441 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: that there might very well be shenanigans as it were 442 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: in the election, no matter what they do. So many 443 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: Californians are angry about what's going on. And then he 444 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 1: said he has a voter integrity board. I don't know 445 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: what that's like. I have a voter integrity board all 446 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: set up most of the actual lawyers. That's the ironing board. Yeah, 447 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: just checks the sort of all sorts of rods and stuff, right, 448 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: And they say, so when people hear things, they contact us. 449 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: We're going to file lawsuits in a timely fashion. Now 450 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: that may be tough, just the Shenanigan's argument because the 451 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: number of acts, you know, the number of actual Republicans 452 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: in the state mathematically sort of makes this a bit difficult. 453 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: If the turnout is around fifty in the state, then 454 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: they're like, for the recall a campaign to have to 455 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: be successful, they would need more people to turn up 456 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: for the recall as they did for people that voted 457 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: for Trump in right, so good. Yeah, Like we're starting 458 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 1: to look at like a lot of analysts are looking 459 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: at the number of ballots that have already come in 460 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: and like that it's double for Democrats and things like that. 461 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: Plus what the real numbers like as they see the projections. 462 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: What could happen? Again, we could be completely fucking up 463 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: and swearing in fucking Larry Elder at some point. Man, 464 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: all that to say, if you live in California, please vote. 465 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: I know it's perfect when we all have our misgivings, 466 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: especially with how this state could be run better, but 467 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: absolutely again we're caught in a fucking stupid buyin area 468 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 1: of like do you know Kroger Brand, Patrick Bateman or 469 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: the fucking radio host who's like man slavery was like 470 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: just such a joke, y'all. And I'm black, so you 471 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: can take my word for it. White racist people vote 472 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: California's I live in Oakland, you do, and I've been 473 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: I've been sitting him all sorts of fraudulent ballots. But 474 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: if I can vote, so too can you. If I 475 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 1: can vote all the way from auckland's your euse. And 476 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 1: by the way, something we have brought up before, because 477 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:20,199 Speaker 1: the way that Newsom and the Democrats have kind of 478 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: played this is that they tell you to vote no 479 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: on whether he should be recalled, but then they also 480 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: tell you not to vote in the second part of 481 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: the election, which is where you would pick a candidate 482 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 1: that would replace him if he were voted out, And 483 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: we didn't. We said we didn't know if like, if 484 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: you vote no, you can still vote for somebody, and 485 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: you can, so you're first voting no, don't replace him, 486 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: but if for some reason he does lose that and 487 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: just think about every major election and how much conservative 488 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: the conservative side has overperformed based on the polling, like 489 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: like from Brexit forward. So you have to get out there, 490 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: you have to vote no. But then I don't know, 491 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: vote like there's it does feel like the Democrats should 492 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: have consolidated behind a single candidate. I think that there's 493 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: a guy named Dr Brandon Ross because it's just a doctor. 494 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: He's not he's not like a politician or anything, but 495 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: he basically yeah, but like he's not like a less 496 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: he's just like I ran because it didn't seem like 497 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: there were any real Democrats who were running. Like the 498 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: leading Democrat candidate is a YouTube influencer who seems to 499 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: be like more economically libertarian than anything else. And so 500 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm going Dr Brandon Ross for the 501 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: win long shot. You're not gonna go for Kevin path Raft, 502 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: the YouTube financial advice guy. No, doesn't doesn't seem like 503 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,719 Speaker 1: kind of libertarian dude. He's the second like I think 504 00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: vaccine mandates decision should be left to individual businesses in schools. 505 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: You're like, oh good bye, right, Yeah, So I don't 506 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: know if you want to like vote as insurance after 507 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: you vote, No, I would go Dr Brandon Ross because 508 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,479 Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, we're just gonna do the same thing 509 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: as Newsom did, which is better than all the other 510 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: alternatives that I've seen. He's doing the best stealth campaign. 511 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: He's like, I'm a fucking Republican. Well that's what I think. 512 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: I I legitimately think that's what's happening with Path Path 513 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: Rath is that he he seems like he has he's 514 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: like Republican policies. Well or yeah, I mean he's just 515 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: that thing of you know, socially accepting ish. But then 516 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: there's also a lot of like in your business my 517 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: business rights type stuff you do when you're a financial 518 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: advice guy, you're not really out. Youre advocating for the 519 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: working poor. You boys know he should be in Judge, 520 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: don't you who's that? Well, it's us, thank you, no, 521 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: not three of us. If we were in the drive, 522 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: thank you. All these kinks, no trouble, no ways. Get 523 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: this unholy Triumvirate into the Governor's mansion, please Montgomery ship watch. 524 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: That could be something in the future where people like, 525 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, I like this group of three bros. 526 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: Rather than fuck and let's talk about Chris Wallace real quick. 527 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: He interviewed uh Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts Pete Ricketts about 528 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: you know, his stance on the vaccine, and he brought 529 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: up what seems like a pretty straightforward question that i'd 530 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: I'd assume every single person who has ever questioned vaccine 531 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: mandates ask them yeah, I would ask themselves like this 532 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: would be the first thing, Like, was the difference between 533 00:31:55,680 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: this and the other vaccines that aren't mandated already? Well? This, Yeah, 534 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: this is the common ailment of the modern Republican politician 535 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: or in this age, which is like having to be 536 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: so deep in your own self delusion plus mental gymnastics 537 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: to try and rationalize how you aren't just a completely 538 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: just like manifested walking contradiction. And you know, he said 539 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: in before at the top of this interview, goes like, look, man, 540 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: I've been I'm not against vaccines, Okay, I've I've said 541 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: that they work, I know that they're safe. So you know, 542 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: it's this it's just about like kind of you know, 543 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: who do people trust. And then that's where Chris Wallas 544 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: is like, Governor Ricketts, I'm about to put a graphic up. 545 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: These are all the vaccines that you mandate in the 546 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: state of Nebraska for someone to go to school. He's like, 547 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: so protest this measles, monks, rubella, heap beat chicken pox. 548 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: And he's like, so, family, why don't you have the 549 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: same energy for these vaccines? And this is his answer 550 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: was and he tries very good to be like, oh, 551 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: you didn't ketch me, you didn't catch me off guard 552 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: with this. I'll just give a non answer. Are those 553 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: man dates that parents in your estate must comply with 554 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:06,959 Speaker 1: and do comply with routineley? Why is it that they're 555 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: not so objectional but such a violation of personal freedom? 556 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: But Biden's vaccine mandates are well for all those that 557 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: you just listed, there's a long history that parents have 558 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: had the opportunity to see how those things have been implemented. 559 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: And there's still a lot of people out there who 560 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: don't know what to trust. And in fact, this is 561 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: really an outcome of what the CDC has done because 562 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: they flip PLoP on so many issues, whether it's mass 563 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: or whether you have to mask, have to be vaccine, 564 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: and so forth. There's just a lot of people out 565 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: there who don't know who to trust right now, and 566 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: so by having the government force it on, you're not 567 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: building a trust where we have a trust with those 568 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: other vaccines. This is a process going to take time 569 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: to bring people along, and that's why it should be 570 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: a personal choice. And not something mandated by the government. 571 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: But but okay, so he goes on and he'll never 572 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: give a satisfying answer because the truth is, he's even 573 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: sure why. But he found a clever thing, which was, yeah, 574 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 1: and if you're if you truly want to believe this 575 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: version of the reality you're experiencing, which is the vaccines 576 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: are bad, that yeah, it's like, well they've been around 577 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: long enough, it's time time, is the thing that is, 578 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: you know, blah blah blah. So he's not even saying 579 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: they're unsafe, right, and he keeps going back to this 580 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:29,879 Speaker 1: argument that people are unsure, they don't know who to trust. Okay, well, 581 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: well what do you do because right now the plan 582 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: seems to be okay, just let the pandemic rage on. Um, 583 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 1: He's like, but also like, we have to hold hands 584 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: with the people whose only news sources a Facebook group, right, 585 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: Like so, but my question to all of this is, 586 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: what the funk is your solution? Then you're a fucking leader. 587 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: I don't care if you're a Republican, you're a fucking leader. 588 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: R So fucking come up with this, Lucien. Don't just 589 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:59,479 Speaker 1: say people are just unsure and so you you up top. 590 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 1: You said that you believe the vaccine was safe, you 591 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,359 Speaker 1: believe that it works. Is that true? I'm pretty sure 592 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: it is on some level because we've seen that. But 593 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: you know, as for these people who I lead for 594 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: a living, for my job, how are they supposed to 595 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: know that? Right? And the thing is I can't offer 596 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: a solution because then that would solve the problem and 597 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,919 Speaker 1: we would have nothing to push back against because as 598 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: a default, the Republicans are now just we cape for 599 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 1: the corporations as much as Democrats, but we do it 600 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: in a way that's very straightforward, and then we'll wrap 601 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,359 Speaker 1: it in a liberty argument so it gets enough people 602 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: fired up. And that's why I'm just like what I 603 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 1: wish more people would just pivot an interview like that 604 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: and say, okay, then what's the solution if you're diagnosing 605 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 1: all of these reasons why people are so if you 606 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: say the CDs, then how would you speak to them? 607 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: Do you yourself want everyone to be vaccinated? But they'll 608 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,239 Speaker 1: never say that part. You know what I mean? It 609 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: always has to be you know, that's why this thing 610 00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: should be a personal choice, until when you see it's 611 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: it's never a situation of like they always put it like, oh, well, 612 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,359 Speaker 1: people don't know what to believe. They they CDC keeps 613 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 1: flip flopping and this and that, that and this, and 614 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: it's like no one is It's that kind of thing 615 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: just strokes somebody's god complex of like if I don't 616 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,840 Speaker 1: understand it, it's not real and it's not true. It's 617 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,760 Speaker 1: there's never a thing of like, yeah, things are gonna 618 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 1: be different when we find new information. This virus didn't 619 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 1: come with a warning label or with a nutritional sticker 620 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: on it or anything like you're watching science happen, like 621 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,399 Speaker 1: we're gonna find new things and we're gonna pivot. It's 622 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: never that messaging. It's always well, they keep hearing a 623 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: bunch of different things and their intuitive Facebook groups and 624 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: they have conflicting information from those. So we just don't 625 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: know what to believe, and we're gonna give parents autonomy, 626 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,439 Speaker 1: which is a terrifying kind of a thing because like 627 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 1: just just the argument of like well I don't understand it, 628 00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: it's like, well you don't understand, she does, and you 629 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: still eat them. Yeah, Like you don't understand a lot, 630 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,240 Speaker 1: Like some of the people have failed math, failed science, 631 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: so like, well, I don't get it, so it's not true. 632 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: And it's like you don't get a lot, you know, right, 633 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 1: It's like I don't. I don't understand math. So when 634 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,880 Speaker 1: when I look at my bank account it says negative something, 635 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. What is that math? Well, 636 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: I don't understand math. So please don't don't uh encumber 637 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: me with your rigid dedication to this thing you call mathematics. 638 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: Please now give me my five dollars. I would like 639 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 1: right now. I don't know what overdrawn means. I'm not 640 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: an illustrator, do not. I do not agree with these things. 641 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,919 Speaker 1: And yeah, that's why I'm just like there. I feel 642 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 1: like democrats really just need to be pointing at them 643 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,359 Speaker 1: if they want as a strategy like watch this, they're 644 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 1: not going to suggest a fucking thing to solve the problem, right, 645 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 1: that's it, Just so you know, the only solution, the 646 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: only solution they have, is just to say no to 647 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 1: any idea other people have. That's not leading, that's just 648 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 1: you're a drunk asshole at a bar who was button 649 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: in on a conversation you had nothing to do with, Like, oh, 650 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: what do you guys know about the house music? I'm like, 651 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 1: what there, please get away? But this is the thing. Mean, 652 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 1: like that's why I would just you know, you'd hope 653 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: that on some I don't know. That's I think where 654 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:25,280 Speaker 1: like the real sinister kind of want to be fascist 655 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 1: is going to be able to talk like that, you 656 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,319 Speaker 1: know what I mean, And it's not going to be 657 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: like oh yeah, well you know we can't do that. 658 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 1: It seem like no, what we actually need to be 659 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,399 Speaker 1: doing is this and this and this and then the other. 660 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 1: But right now I think it's because everything has been 661 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 1: so caught up and it's like back and forth culture 662 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 1: war nonsense that even something this simple, because Chris Wallace 663 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: even said he even tried to present it to Pete 664 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 1: Ricketts like, I mean like, look, if you think about it, 665 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: this is a vaccine that works. I mean President Trump 666 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 1: had a lot to do with it happening. I mean 667 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 1: like it started with his administration and it works, it's 668 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 1: been tested. Well, what's the problem. And he was still 669 00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: just like people aren't sure. Well, then, as a leader, 670 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't you say, hey, you can trust me? If you 671 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: said they don't know who to trust, can they trust you? Right? 672 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,319 Speaker 1: And are you what would you say if they trust you. 673 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: Very obvious follow up. Yeah, I don't know, what do 674 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 1: I know? What do we know? I'm just trying to 675 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: make people feel smart for being stupid, you know. Yeah, 676 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 1: well it goes back to the thing we don't know. 677 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: Americans don't want to check themselves, you know, like because 678 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: we have so many people like this whole thing is 679 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 1: like I don't know if Joe Biden should have scolded 680 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: these people. We look how many people passed away and 681 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 1: think of the people that are especially man frontline healthcare workers, 682 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 1: the mental health crisis that they're experiencing from, like wanting 683 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: to help people and just seeing ambulance after ambulance or 684 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,799 Speaker 1: patient after patient of someone who's like I didn't look 685 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: after my own health and like now I'm in a 686 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: really bad way. And also like give me this medicine 687 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,160 Speaker 1: that is an FDA approved and also I won't be vaccinated. 688 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 1: But also please can I not die? Can I look 689 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 1: you in your eyes as I'm dying and say help me? 690 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 1: Like that ship is the one thing traumatic beg for 691 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 1: the vaccine on their deathbeds, like yeah, I've been reading 692 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,719 Speaker 1: so much. We're like you finally get them to want 693 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,239 Speaker 1: to do what they should do, and it's like so 694 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,320 Speaker 1: painfully too late that like, yeah, it's you're right in 695 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:20,439 Speaker 1: the gut, yeah, and unnecessary against Yeah. And I think 696 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 1: that's the thing is that this whole thing was just 697 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 1: they thought they could create a sentiment within the country 698 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 1: that could just ignore the like massive amount of preventable 699 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 1: death that's occurring. I think that was really their only things, like, 700 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, let's just get our heads down and 701 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 1: then maybe people will stop caring about it. But this 702 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 1: is a problem that's unlike to the problems they usually 703 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,320 Speaker 1: like to get involved in, which would be like fighting 704 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,800 Speaker 1: wars and ship And because this is a completely different 705 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,879 Speaker 1: one that requires people to actually do what's best for 706 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 1: each other, they found themselves completely out of source. It's 707 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 1: just like, well, fucking man, like, let's hope people aren't hiding, 708 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,320 Speaker 1: we can get over the amount of people that are dying. Yeah, 709 00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 1: it's straight up a death cult at the point. The Right, 710 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: a prominent anti masker and anti vaxer who was known 711 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 1: for wearing a zoro mask. Two Staples passed away over 712 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: the weekend. Veronica Wolfski and the hospital like had to 713 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: be evacuated a couple of times because people were phoning 714 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: in bomb threats and trying because she was being treated 715 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:29,320 Speaker 1: with like ever mecten or you know whatever. The people who, 716 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,879 Speaker 1: as Mile said, get their news from Facebook groups were 717 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,319 Speaker 1: telling the doctor demanding the doctor's treat her with. So 718 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 1: you know, they don't know who to trust, but they 719 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 1: know what the dosage and treatment ought to be. Right, 720 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 1: That's right, yep, That's why. I mean again, it's just 721 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 1: I think it's just revealing so much about the human 722 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,680 Speaker 1: psyche too, as especially as it relates to Americans. I mean, 723 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,280 Speaker 1: like so much of this is about unwilling to embrace 724 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:57,239 Speaker 1: the unknown, because for those people, the only control they 725 00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:01,719 Speaker 1: can exert is to not get vaccinated. After that, I think, 726 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 1: to them it's such a dice roll, whether they believe 727 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,359 Speaker 1: it's a scientific dice roll or maybe they're just full 728 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 1: on some other ship and they'll never get it anyway. 729 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 1: But there's just it's like it's just human nature. We have. 730 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 1: We have to know what's going to happen, and when 731 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,280 Speaker 1: we don't, we get very anxious. That's just our human nature. 732 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 1: Like whenever we're in situations where things are uncertain, can 733 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 1: cause a lot of anxiety and stress, and especially as 734 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 1: it relates something like this that requires people to trust that. 735 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,239 Speaker 1: It just shows that there's like limits to that and 736 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: in this case, people think they're gonna they feel safer 737 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: by not doing it, even though the results are to 738 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 1: the you know that they're getting the counter result that 739 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,839 Speaker 1: they thought they would. And we did have this during 740 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 1: the nineteen eleven pandemic. It was less sort of incendiary 741 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,880 Speaker 1: because there was not social media, but there was a 742 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 1: big resistance to getting the vaccine and they had to 743 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:55,799 Speaker 1: go door to door to make sure people got the 744 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: vaccine and ultimately they won that battle. But it remains 745 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 1: to be seen whether we will be able to win 746 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 1: that battle in a world that does have Facebook that 747 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: really like it seems I feel like it's getting passe 748 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 1: and also like it's just boring to keep being like 749 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 1: social media is evil, but it really like, I mean 750 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 1: that all these stories that we're talking about, like you 751 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 1: keep coming back to the fact that the problem would 752 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:28,240 Speaker 1: be solved if there weren't you know, people lying passing 753 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 1: off lies is as facts on. So, yeah, well, because 754 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 1: Facebook kind of gives people legitimacy in that sense, It's 755 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 1: one thing if it's like a back is hey back 756 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 1: in our day. We remember the early Internet were some 757 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,360 Speaker 1: wacky ship. It was like on a geo cities website 758 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 1: and you looked at your like, this is trash. I 759 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,080 Speaker 1: can tell by looking at it, this is nothing is 760 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:52,920 Speaker 1: real on this page. Nothing but Facebook I think lends 761 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,719 Speaker 1: a certain veneer of like validity to a lot of 762 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,279 Speaker 1: those things because of the formatting and things like that 763 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,239 Speaker 1: that there's like a lot of presentational graphic things that 764 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: I think are that kind of bolster this ship. And tomorrow, 765 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 1: actually we'll talk about because this this article just came 766 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,480 Speaker 1: out the Washington Post found out like Facebook has like 767 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 1: this whole plat, like this whole program where they are 768 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:18,400 Speaker 1: like certain users that are they can violate the user 769 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:23,440 Speaker 1: guidelines and they'll keep them there because they're prominent of profiles. So, 770 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: you know, we'll we'll do a little we'll talk a 771 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 1: little bit more about that. But yeah, there's there's many 772 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 1: things that are consciously happening to that kind of keep 773 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:34,879 Speaker 1: these you know, ecosystems. M m m all right, let's 774 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:45,560 Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back. And 775 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,799 Speaker 1: we're back. I just saw a quote from Governor Newsome's 776 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 1: team that says, no scenario we lose, So I can 777 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 1: basically take that to mean that that they have lost 778 00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,400 Speaker 1: by the time you're listening to this and upon alogies 779 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,760 Speaker 1: to the future. Alright, let's talk really briefly about the 780 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:12,080 Speaker 1: latest revelations in this Woodward book Peril, about the kind 781 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:16,120 Speaker 1: of transition from Trump to Biden. One of the revelations 782 00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,320 Speaker 1: is that China was convinced that because Trump was getting 783 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,839 Speaker 1: belligerent just leading into the election, as he kind of 784 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,000 Speaker 1: faced the possibility that you might lose, that you know, 785 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,400 Speaker 1: the US government was unstable, the transfer of power was 786 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:33,440 Speaker 1: up in the air, and he was, you know, starting 787 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 1: to talk about starting a war with China or Iran, 788 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 1: and to the point that one of the generals had 789 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 1: to call his Chinese counterpart and say, this is a quote. 790 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 1: I want to assure you that the American government is 791 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 1: stable and everything is going to be okay. We are 792 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 1: not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you. 793 00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:00,239 Speaker 1: That ship was so first of all, that's just like 794 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 1: what what you say, like that sounds like a publicist 795 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:08,759 Speaker 1: talking about about a person who was just like, you know, 796 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,360 Speaker 1: been checked in somewhere. But that was before the attacks 797 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:16,400 Speaker 1: of January six, at which point they were certain something 798 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,520 Speaker 1: bad was going to happen because they were witnessing what 799 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:24,120 Speaker 1: was clearly an attempted coup. To everyone outside of the country, 800 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 1: I feel like, because we still live in this country 801 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:33,160 Speaker 1: with like Fox News and Trump supporters were probably like 802 00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:37,719 Speaker 1: uniquely insulated from the truth of like how dangerous that 803 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:42,360 Speaker 1: situation was. But after January six, China was freaking the 804 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,640 Speaker 1: funk out and the military had to like actually make 805 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 1: changes to delay military exercises. So in this second call 806 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,280 Speaker 1: to address Chinese fears about the events of January six, 807 00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:59,759 Speaker 1: General Milly promised, we are one steady, everything's fine, but 808 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:04,440 Speaker 1: democracy can be sloppy sometimes, and that didn't want they 809 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:11,720 Speaker 1: were still rattled. Yeah. He also felt the need after 810 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:16,160 Speaker 1: that call to confirm with the people responsible for physically 811 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:20,319 Speaker 1: launching nuclear weapons that he had to be involved with 812 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,440 Speaker 1: the process. Like he was like, okay, so just so 813 00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,040 Speaker 1: we're clear, let's run it through. He could come in 814 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,560 Speaker 1: here start telling you to launch nooks at China, but 815 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,359 Speaker 1: you have to bring me into the room too, like 816 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,319 Speaker 1: I have to be involved in that conversation. And so 817 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,960 Speaker 1: and by the way, this is somebody that was appointed 818 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 1: by Trump, So this is not a deep state actor 819 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:44,600 Speaker 1: from like the Obama administration. The head of the CIA, 820 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,320 Speaker 1: also a Trump appointing, was of the opinion that America 821 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:51,239 Speaker 1: was on the way to a right wing coup. So yeah, 822 00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 1: it was as bad as it as it looked. Basically 823 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,800 Speaker 1: as what is what you're hearing? Like literally, this is 824 00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:00,560 Speaker 1: a quote. The CIA director Gina Haspell, for instance, reportedly 825 00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 1: told Milly quote, we are on the way to a 826 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:07,520 Speaker 1: right wing coup. So yeah, oh, what do you know, 827 00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:12,000 Speaker 1: Gina Haspell, your black site operator, I know a thing 828 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,839 Speaker 1: or two about seeing a coup. Okay, yeah, the one 829 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:23,600 Speaker 1: thing that is that sort of ship. Yeah, it's true. 830 00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:29,399 Speaker 1: Everybody outside of the United States, I knew that they agreed, right, 831 00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,880 Speaker 1: No one was ever like, nobody was saying, well, you know, 832 00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:36,040 Speaker 1: democracy can be sloppy. Sometimes they're like, what the fund 833 00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,520 Speaker 1: is happening over there? And then imagine like all the 834 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,879 Speaker 1: tense Joe political ship that's already up in the air, 835 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,839 Speaker 1: right and very in many cases very much like just 836 00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:51,360 Speaker 1: a few bad calls or a few misinterpretations from going 837 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,920 Speaker 1: very wrong very quickly. You see that, and you're like, well, 838 00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 1: can we like I don't think people often understand in 839 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:03,040 Speaker 1: the unit I did states that peaceful transfer of power 840 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,640 Speaker 1: is one of the sort of golden geese of of 841 00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:11,560 Speaker 1: any nation state, and it's not. It feels like it's 842 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,480 Speaker 1: a sure thing for a lot of people who grew 843 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:17,399 Speaker 1: up here because it almost always was, but that never 844 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,920 Speaker 1: guarantees that it will be the case the next time 845 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,840 Speaker 1: that power is transferred. And like other countries are very 846 00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,920 Speaker 1: very familiar with this. And this is like any time 847 00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,920 Speaker 1: you hear about an election coming up in any country, 848 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,400 Speaker 1: you can be you can be a certain that the 849 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:38,000 Speaker 1: world's intelligence agencies and the big corporations are keeping a 850 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,360 Speaker 1: close eye on it, because if ship's gonna go wrong, 851 00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:45,560 Speaker 1: that's when it's most likely to happen. And like, I 852 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,040 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think people don't know just 853 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,360 Speaker 1: how dangerous or maybe don't want to admit just how dangerous, 854 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,520 Speaker 1: how close this was, I mean, is it is it 855 00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:57,839 Speaker 1: like Cuban missile crisis level close? I don't think that's 856 00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,920 Speaker 1: hyperbolic to say, yeah, that's what Evans always says. When 857 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:05,279 Speaker 1: he went over to Kiev to like after that the 858 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,919 Speaker 1: Ukraine capital like kind of devolved into a civil war. 859 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,000 Speaker 1: Like the thing he kept hearing was people being like, 860 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,920 Speaker 1: I can't believe it happened here. We never thought it 861 00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:17,960 Speaker 1: could happen here. And it's just when when it's another country, 862 00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,360 Speaker 1: it's just like, yeah, that's what happens in other countries, 863 00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,640 Speaker 1: because that's the international news that we get. But when 864 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:27,680 Speaker 1: it's your country, you're like, well, I have a wealth 865 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 1: of experience that tells me that our country does not 866 00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:35,160 Speaker 1: devolve it into a coup. And I also it's now 867 00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:39,480 Speaker 1: part of a political like discourse as to whether that 868 00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:43,120 Speaker 1: was even what I saw. So it just like, also, 869 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,000 Speaker 1: and this is gonna surprise you, guys. Turns out Mike 870 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:52,399 Speaker 1: Pence is a spineless weasel. He was definitely considering overturning, 871 00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 1: upending the election certification. He even spoke to and this 872 00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,920 Speaker 1: is terrifying that the fate of our country was indeed 873 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,720 Speaker 1: two guys hands. He had a conversation with Vice President 874 00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:06,799 Speaker 1: Dan Quaile, whoever saw the certification of the ninety two 875 00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:10,279 Speaker 1: election in which he was on the losing ticket, and 876 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:14,560 Speaker 1: appeared in that conversation open to going along with Trump's plan. 877 00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,800 Speaker 1: Pushed the false claim that Arizona's voting systems or voting 878 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,919 Speaker 1: results were wrong, and asked where whether there was any 879 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,520 Speaker 1: way he could delay certification, So it was it was 880 00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:28,000 Speaker 1: on the fucking table. Things almost went as bad as 881 00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,360 Speaker 1: we had feared they could go. And dan Quell is 882 00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,839 Speaker 1: still alive. Yeah, still out here doing it. I didn't 883 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,440 Speaker 1: know that from that. Let's uh, let's talk. Rudy Giuliani 884 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:43,279 Speaker 1: also makes an appearance this one. Actually, yeah, look at 885 00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,880 Speaker 1: that two for two. Yeah, he's like, I mean, he 886 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 1: had a he had a great evening on the twentieth 887 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:53,120 Speaker 1: anniversary of nine eleven. He went to chip Ryanni, you know, 888 00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:59,160 Speaker 1: nice dinner and Christmas. You know, we got Christmas. I 889 00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,520 Speaker 1: think we've ever seen him. You know, he's had some 890 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 1: remarkable appearances on Fox where he was a little bit uh, 891 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 1: you know, animated, a little sloppy with his pronunciation. But 892 00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:14,279 Speaker 1: this is clearly something else. So something that was just 893 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:15,880 Speaker 1: on such a level that he had to do an 894 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,120 Speaker 1: interview with the Daily Mail the next day to like 895 00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:22,799 Speaker 1: clear up what immediately after. Yeah, so let's check out 896 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,080 Speaker 1: one of his The thing that really caught a lot 897 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,760 Speaker 1: of people in the UK's attention when he was talking about, 898 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:32,080 Speaker 1: you know, kind of the his interaction with Queen Elizabeth 899 00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:37,160 Speaker 1: when he was given a an honor after nine eleven. 900 00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:43,800 Speaker 1: She said, you's just a wonderful Joel on September living 901 00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:49,879 Speaker 1: and therefore I'm making an honorary night Commander of the 902 00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:54,600 Speaker 1: Royal something. Rather I turned down a niehood because if 903 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:56,759 Speaker 1: you took a niehood, you had to lose your citizenship. 904 00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,600 Speaker 1: I know. Prince Andrew was very question well. Now, I 905 00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:04,520 Speaker 1: never went out with him, never, never, never had a 906 00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,919 Speaker 1: drink with him. Never was a woman or a young 907 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:12,040 Speaker 1: girl with him. One time I met him in my 908 00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,720 Speaker 1: office and one time when we had the party, right Bernie, 909 00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:19,880 Speaker 1: you were there, okay, uh. I never had a drink 910 00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:25,880 Speaker 1: with him. He did a voice oh yeah, he he 911 00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:29,920 Speaker 1: later this is this freaking interview that he said. He 912 00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,440 Speaker 1: defended that the Queen Elizabeth thing. He was just saying like, 913 00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:36,560 Speaker 1: he's like, I wasn't mocking the Queen. Okay, first of all, 914 00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:40,040 Speaker 1: it was quote an interpretation that's totally unfair. I use 915 00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,759 Speaker 1: an English accent. And he goes on to say, and 916 00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:46,839 Speaker 1: I have never mocked it. I imitate Churchill sometimes he's 917 00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,960 Speaker 1: you know, he has he's like, I have a sick 918 00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:54,000 Speaker 1: English accent, like so I am hilarious when I do 919 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:57,480 Speaker 1: an English accent that his English accent sounds like he's 920 00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:02,440 Speaker 1: got like like ship his mouth, like yeah like that. 921 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,960 Speaker 1: I mean the way the way he kicked that off 922 00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,600 Speaker 1: was a little look two out of ten on the attempt. 923 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,680 Speaker 1: Trudy sorry, and he he he wanted to clarify he 924 00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,799 Speaker 1: was not drunk. Okay, he said, quote, I am not 925 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,400 Speaker 1: a drunk. I don't think I've ever been publicly drunk 926 00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,120 Speaker 1: in my life. The last time I was was probably 927 00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,760 Speaker 1: in college. I like to drink scotch and have cigars. 928 00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,560 Speaker 1: That's where it probably comes from. I drink moderate amounts 929 00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 1: of scotch. I mostly drink scotch because I like to 930 00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,839 Speaker 1: have it with cigars. I didn't have a cigar last night. 931 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,560 Speaker 1: And this is a caricature that the Left is trying 932 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,600 Speaker 1: to put on me. I can't remember the last time 933 00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,040 Speaker 1: I was drunk, and I'm not just going to put 934 00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,520 Speaker 1: up with it anymore. I've got to do something about it. 935 00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:46,040 Speaker 1: Uh huh Okay. It sounds like halfway through saying that denial, 936 00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:53,239 Speaker 1: he started thinking about scotch. Yeah, like imagining scotch, just 937 00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,719 Speaker 1: moderate amounts of scotch. I love Scotch, especially from the Highlands. 938 00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:00,319 Speaker 1: You know that it gives something like it just night 939 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:07,319 Speaker 1: Pete and he continued the that I don't know the theatrics, 940 00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:12,279 Speaker 1: the the tirade, the slam dunking upon the people, but 941 00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,600 Speaker 1: this time he I don't even know where this one 942 00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:19,240 Speaker 1: is exactly going. This one. He clearly has bad feelings 943 00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,800 Speaker 1: about General Mark Milly, who we were just talking about, 944 00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:25,000 Speaker 1: and likes to call him Miley okay, because that's how 945 00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:30,520 Speaker 1: he emasculates him. I guess, Miley, how did how's that 946 00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:35,200 Speaker 1: guy in General Jesus? The other day he said that 947 00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:41,040 Speaker 1: the backroom Air Force base is not strategically important. I 948 00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,200 Speaker 1: wanted to grab his what do you have? Five stars? 949 00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,640 Speaker 1: Ten stars, twelve stars? They have so many stars that 950 00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,200 Speaker 1: come in up into his ears. I wanted to grab 951 00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,879 Speaker 1: his stars, shove it down his throat and say, it's 952 00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:57,000 Speaker 1: four miles from China, asshole. China is gonna be our 953 00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:04,000 Speaker 1: enemy for the next forty years from them, and you're 954 00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:08,320 Speaker 1: giving it up, idiot? What the hell is wrong with you? 955 00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:15,040 Speaker 1: Who pays you? Donald Trump? Wow? But people like you 956 00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:18,080 Speaker 1: can also just feel the crowd is like scared a 957 00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:25,120 Speaker 1: little bit because it's about and he's like, I totally 958 00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,759 Speaker 1: forgot that was supposed to be about nine eleven. The 959 00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:34,480 Speaker 1: Prince Andrew thing was like that that performance that we 960 00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:39,440 Speaker 1: just heard wonderful, But the Prince Andrew thing was why 961 00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,200 Speaker 1: do we think he started talking about Prince Andrew? Has 962 00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:47,520 Speaker 1: he been alleged to be involved in the Prince Andrew stuff? 963 00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,759 Speaker 1: I think it's yeah, it's some at some level, and 964 00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:52,319 Speaker 1: maybe he's just trying to get in front of it, 965 00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,760 Speaker 1: like like you guys said with Elder, but Prince Andrew 966 00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:01,200 Speaker 1: is currently embroiled in the ongoing right whether he actually 967 00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:04,640 Speaker 1: got served those papers, So it might be maybe because 968 00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:08,040 Speaker 1: him and Derschowitz team up so much. Yeah, yeah, like 969 00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:12,000 Speaker 1: that there's there's connective tissue.
