9
00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:50,880
you can. David, I know
we have a ton of things to talk

10
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,640
about, but I'd like to kind
of start with Washington, d C.

11
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,039
Which is near where I live.
Washington, d C. Has had,

12
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:04,400
like many other cities throughout the country, a horrific uptick in crime and violent

13
00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:11,359
crime. I think we are up
thirty nine percent on violent crimes over last

14
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:18,319
year, and like thirty percent in
general with crime. These include assaults,

15
00:01:18,519 --> 00:01:23,959
we've you know, there are armed
robberies, there are retail theft rings.

16
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,480
We've had multiple members of Congress dealing
with crime, whether you know one was

17
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:34,560
carjacked kind of recently, so just
a really bad situation. So maryel Bowser,

18
00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:40,680
who's the mayor of Washington, d
C. This week introduced new legislation

19
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:47,560
to address the violent crime and she
has new tools for the police for how

20
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,159
they can combat crime in the city. And I'm sorry, but this is

21
00:01:52,239 --> 00:01:57,840
ridiculous, not that she has realized
that the police need tools, but that

22
00:01:57,959 --> 00:02:04,959
she oversaw the defund the Police movement
in Washington, DC. She was a

23
00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:14,360
huge nationwide proponent of that movement.
She in twenty twenty one instituted the Black

24
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:20,680
Lives Matter Defund the Police monument which
is right outside the White House, which

25
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:27,280
was painted there during the race riots
of twenty twenty that were intended to destabilize

26
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,759
the country. She supported that movement
while also actually tear gassing some of the

27
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:38,840
rioters and blaming that tear gassing on
Donald Trump. This woman was a huge,

28
00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:46,759
huge advocate of harming police efforts in
her city, and now that we're

29
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,680
reaping the benefits of that, the
pain of that, now she wants to

30
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,360
change the tools that police are allowed
to have. And it's just kind of

31
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,960
appalling. You do remember how wide
defund the police was, and then when

32
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,000
people's crime started and riots start happening, crime starts spiking, they were like,

33
00:03:06,039 --> 00:03:07,319
no, no, you don't get
it. Defund the police doesn't mean

34
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,599
defund the police. It means this
or that or you know, reforms.

35
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:19,120
And then as soon as people realized
how disastrous that policy was, or Democrats

36
00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:22,840
realized that, they immediately pretended like
they had never supported it. I'm sure

37
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,879
that Bowser will pretend that she was
never really behind that sort of thing.

38
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:30,599
But I think the BLM riots should
you know, and how that ties into

39
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,280
what's going on now, I think
is that it's basically part of the same

40
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:37,240
movement and the same people you see
marching, or not all the same,

41
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,319
but many of the same people you
see marching today, you know, in

42
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:45,280
these Prohamas marches. Do you think
that that's a fair thing to say In

43
00:03:45,319 --> 00:03:51,879
the twenty twenty Democratic Convention, Those
conventions were run by zoom, if you

44
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:57,080
recall, because of the hysteria over
the COVID pandemic kept them from being held

45
00:03:57,199 --> 00:04:00,360
in person, and so she opened
up I think maybe even the first night

46
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:06,960
of the Democratic Convention, standing on
top of a balcony that oversaw the defund

47
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:14,960
the police Black Lives Matter plaza,
and she didn't just express support for those

48
00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:20,399
violent Marxist movements right then and there, she in that space blamed Donald Trump

49
00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:24,720
for macing some of the rioters that
were outside the White House. And I

50
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,519
just wanted to like, I don't
want to forget this, because we live

51
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,360
in a propaganda environment where people treat
January sixth as the only riot that ever

52
00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:36,240
happened in the history of mankind and
the worst riot, and they forget that.

53
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:44,319
BLM nationwide ran riots that attacked the
White House. They had to move

54
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,879
the president to a basement. They
went after federal courthouses, they went after

55
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:54,079
police precincts, they killed people.
And this was a violent, awful movement,

56
00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:57,839
and some of the most powerful people
in our country, many of them

57
00:04:57,959 --> 00:05:02,800
supported it, people like Mario Bows. All these corporations they funded the Black

58
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:09,240
Lives Matter Movement to the tune of
at least eighty three billion with a B

59
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:15,120
dollars. Some of that was directly
financing the BLM organization. Some of it

60
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:20,319
was just financing the goals of the
BLM organization. And the BLM organization's goals

61
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:28,639
include for some reason, radical transactivism, destruction of the family, defunding the

62
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:33,279
police, a widespread belief that our
country, which is the best country in

63
00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:40,079
the history of the world or was, is racist and evil. And they

64
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:47,879
also were the whole time supportive of
Palestinian terrorist organizations. They said, the

65
00:05:47,959 --> 00:05:58,439
leaders of that movement said that the
elimination of Israel was their cause, and

66
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:02,720
they said that publicly, they didn't
hide it, and our corporations financed them

67
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,120
and financed all of their causes.
And now, yes, that brings us

68
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,399
to the point that you that you
were just talking about that, now we

69
00:06:11,439 --> 00:06:15,439
are saying that the same people who
destroyed the country in twenty twenty are out

70
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:21,160
there marching for Hamas, right,
Yeah, no, I mean, yeah,

71
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:26,600
it's a big topic because it's not
It is definitely blam it's the Women's

72
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,160
March founders. Also, we're all
anti Semites, all anti Israel, I

73
00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:32,519
mean, and when I say anti
Semites, I mean that they peddled conspiracy

74
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:39,360
theories about Jews being responsible for slavery
and things like that. BLM is obviously

75
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,720
anti Israel. It's all part of
the same. I'm going to call it

76
00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:46,800
Marxist. I know it's not exactly
right, but I think it's fair enough

77
00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:50,560
to call it just a sort of
intertwined Marxist outlook on the world. Oppress

78
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:56,600
or a press see things like that. And I mean, these Hamas marches

79
00:06:56,639 --> 00:07:00,959
have sort of rattled me because it's
something that you we've been seeing it.

80
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,360
And when I say Prohamas, I
mean that they're pro Hamas, they're not

81
00:07:04,439 --> 00:07:09,120
pro Palestinians. I think I said
this last week, your pro PALESTOLINIANI in

82
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,680
two weeks ago. If you're marching
now and after what Hamas did, your

83
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,000
pro Hamas. But anyway, you
see this in Europe all the time.

84
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,920
I wrote about it in a book, and I think we're we're starting to

85
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,040
see a lot of that here and
there are poles that have come out that

86
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,519
that show that yeah, you were
going to say something, no, well

87
00:07:29,279 --> 00:07:32,000
yeah, yeah, do you mind? Like also, I also am rattled.

88
00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:38,959
I saw last night on Twitter this
I guess Jewish guy saying he was

89
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:44,959
coming home to his apartment in Manhattan
and there were hundreds of pro Hamas demonstrators

90
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,040
saying there is only one solution.
You know. They were saying, like

91
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,839
basically kill all the Jews, and
how terrifying this was for him, and

92
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:59,000
I agree, it is absolutely terrifying
to see this, and sorry tell us

93
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,160
about the polls. But I'm not
terrified. But I am rattled because I'm

94
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,959
not terrified because I'm in America and
I have the right to defend myself here

95
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:11,079
and I don't act to act the
way that European Jews had to act,

96
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:16,279
unfortunately. But there's like I would
say that there were dozens of Charlotteville marches

97
00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:20,759
across America basically even in some ways
worse than that Charlotteville March, but very

98
00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:24,639
similar. I mean calling for the
end. You know, from the river

99
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,639
to the sea is a is a
chant of genocide, and people were chanting

100
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,600
that across the country. And when
you look at poles generally, they show

101
00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:35,960
that people are on the side of
Israel. And that doesn't mean like you

102
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:39,919
have to like everything Israel does.
It just means are you the side of

103
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,399
the existence? In my view,
it's like are you on the side of

104
00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:46,960
civilization or in the side of Hamas
right now? But when you really take

105
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,759
a deep dive into those poles,
it is pretty scary. First of all,

106
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,679
young people are like fifty percent of
them to think that in this Harvard

107
00:08:54,879 --> 00:09:01,200
pole that came out yesterday that Hamas
was justified and what it did. Forty

108
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,120
eight percent of people under thirty five
believe that. Another poll I saw show

109
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,720
that a majority of Muslims believe that
it was justified. So you have young

110
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:13,879
people and some immigrants who, in
my view, are not integrating into American

111
00:09:15,799 --> 00:09:18,519
society in the right way, frankly, and you know, those are the

112
00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:22,240
people who are marching right now.
It's not you know, it's you know,

113
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,919
it's college young college students. And
by the way, when you're talking

114
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,080
about the young people, I'm positive
it's not the homemaker, young homemaker.

115
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,279
It's not the engineer, it's not
the person starting a business. It's the

116
00:09:35,759 --> 00:09:39,200
you know, it's the social pseudo
science major, the person getting their PhD.

117
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,039
All the people that are going to
work in media, we're going to

118
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,159
work in government, We're going to
work you know, in law firms,

119
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,120
who are going to work in the
places that have a ton of power.

120
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,159
Only sixteen percent of conservatives say that
that Hamas was justified, but thirty six

121
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,559
percent of people who are liberal.
I mean, I keep hearing how the

122
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,600
right wing is antisemitic and are for
sure anti Semites on the right, but

123
00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:07,279
the left wing has an anti Semitism
problem, and it's embedded in our institutions,

124
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:15,440
and that worsn't even more than the
marches. Cold turkey great on sandwiches.

125
00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:18,399
Probably not the best way to break
your bad habits. And I'm not

126
00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:22,679
talking about some weird mind trick from
your crazy neighbor or something you saw on

127
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:28,399
an email forward from your mom.
We're talking here about our sponsor, Fume,

128
00:10:28,639 --> 00:10:31,159
and they look at this problem in
a different way. Not everything in

129
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,039
a bad habit is wrong. So
instead of a drastic, uncomfortable change,

130
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,399
why not just remove the bad from
your habit. Fume is an innovative and

131
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:45,120
award nominated device that does just that. Instead of electronics, Fume is completely

132
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,519
natural. Instead of vapor, Fume
uses flavored air, and instead of harmful

133
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,840
chemicals, Fume uses all natural,
delicious flavors, so you get it.

134
00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:56,440
Instead of bad, Fume is good. It's a habit you're freedom enjoy and

135
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:01,039
it makes replacing your bad habits easy. Fume comes with an adjustable airflow dial

136
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,960
and is designed with movable parts and
magnets for fidgeting, giving your fingers a

137
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:11,200
lot to do, which is helpful
for distressing and anxiety while breaking your habit.

138
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,759
Stopping is something we all put off
because it's hard, but switching to

139
00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:18,120
Fume is easy, enjoyable, and
even fun. Fume has served over one

140
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:24,720
hundred thousand customers and has thousands of
success stories, and there's no reason that

141
00:11:24,759 --> 00:11:28,320
you can't be one of them.

we saw that with some of the open

148
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:11,360
embrace of Hamas and anti Semitism,
you have started to see certain people announcing

149
00:12:11,399 --> 00:12:16,840
that they are not going to fund, not going to continue to fund some

150
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:22,600
of these left wing universities. And
that's good. I think that's great.

151
00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:28,559
And also you're having people say they're
not going to hire certain individuals but it's

152
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,360
not just that they didn't do that
when BLM was trying to destroy our country.

153
00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:41,799
They actually gave money to support the
BLM pro Hamas movement when the mobs

154
00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:46,559
came just a couple of years ago. And so while I'm happy to see

155
00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:52,879
people standing up against it, i
want to be like where the h double

156
00:12:52,919 --> 00:12:58,720
hockey sticks were you three years ago? Where you bowed down in supplication to

157
00:12:58,799 --> 00:13:03,279
these people instead of saying, hey, no, you're wrong. The United

158
00:13:03,279 --> 00:13:07,879
States is not the oppressor, and
black people are not the victims, and

159
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,480
white people are not needing to be
exterminated. Like these were all the same

160
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:16,879
things you're hearing now. It was
directed against white people, or conservatives or

161
00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:20,360
the country itself, but we did
not see a lot of bravery or courage

162
00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:22,399
in standing up against that. And
so to see it now, I'm like,

163
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,080
well, what, Like, I'm
glad, I'm glad you're doing it

164
00:13:26,159 --> 00:13:31,320
now, But it would have really
helped if some more people had stood up

165
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:37,480
against this radical, evil BLM movement
that did so much to destroy our country

166
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,399
and weakness as a as a civilization. And it's too late now. Harvard

167
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:46,559
has like a fifty billion dollar endowment, Yale has forty billion dollar. All

168
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,679
the elite schools have tons of money. They could everyone could go free,

169
00:13:50,279 --> 00:13:54,679
for free to those schools for decades
and decades, and it wouldn't matter to

170
00:13:54,759 --> 00:14:00,120
them, you know. And the
administrators in those schools have welcomed this kind

171
00:13:58,919 --> 00:14:05,559
of you know, radicalism. They
defend the free speech of radicals, but

172
00:14:05,639 --> 00:14:09,799
never defend the free speech of conservatives. In these schools, they're hermetically sealed

173
00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:15,399
ideological centers of propaganda for the most
part. Jews. I've been writing about

174
00:14:15,399 --> 00:14:18,039
this for a decade now. Many
Jews on campuses have to be nervous all

175
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,559
the time, you know, And
now it's just getting worse and worse.

176
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,919
And even you even see it right
now. I mean, I know everyone

177
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,879
thinks, you know, the media
keeps saying that Biden is on Israel's side,

178
00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:33,759
but he's not. At the first
sign of it. Whenever there's anti

179
00:14:33,759 --> 00:14:37,639
Semitism, whenever there's Jews being killed
in the Middle East, the first thing

180
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,559
they or the most important thing we
need to talk about all the time is

181
00:14:39,559 --> 00:14:46,039
Islamophobia. It is so annoying it
waters down the real problem. Anyway.

182
00:14:46,039 --> 00:14:48,320
I don't know, I get I
go. I'm like always all over the

183
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,039
place, because when I get worked
up about this, but I think that

184
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,440
this is a intractable problem in a
way. There's no way to fix these

185
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,960
schools right now, and no one
wants to fix these schools right now.

186
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,519
Now, no one's going no one
in the state Department wants to fix their

187
00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:07,039
outlook, So what do we do. I think it's it's just going to

188
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,759
get worse for Jews because these young
people are going to be running things,

189
00:15:09,759 --> 00:15:13,840
and they're just going to be propagandizing
the next generation, and it gets worse

190
00:15:13,879 --> 00:15:16,840
and worse. The older you are, the more pro Israel you are,

191
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,840
and the younger are the less.
So that's that's a trajectory that's not going

192
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:26,639
to change. I'm kind of worried
for the Jewish community here, and many

193
00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:28,360
many Jews are marching as well,
by the way, not many, but

194
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:35,200
some because their real religion is Leftism, not Judaism, and they don't care.

195
00:15:35,279 --> 00:15:41,200
And that's just corroding corroding support for
Jews as well. So I don't

196
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,879
know, it's a pretty bad situation. I you know, I still believe

197
00:15:45,879 --> 00:15:48,000
in America, and I still believe
Jews are safe in America right now.

198
00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:52,759
But I don't know. I think
we're heading towards a European kind of situation

199
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,919
here on so many levels, on
so many levels that it's it's really problematic,

200
00:15:56,639 --> 00:16:02,039
you know, speaking of these people
who you know, realize what's going

201
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,600
on and pulled their funding from from
from elite universities and stuff like this.

202
00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:08,000
There's also this movement a lot of
people are writing about this now where this

203
00:16:08,039 --> 00:16:11,200
is sort of a moment where Jews
were mugged by reality, right, and

204
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,440
that they're going to change and they're
going to realize that they're on the wrong

205
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,159
side of things. That progressive progressivism
is imbued with a kind of uh,

206
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:25,600
you know, hatred of of of
Western ideals, but also Jews, which

207
00:16:25,639 --> 00:16:30,559
always seems to go hand in hand
him and you know often so and they

208
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,279
think that this is going to be
a wake up call for Jews and Jews

209
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,759
won't be voting for Democrats anymore.
I am incredibly skeptical that's going to happen.

210
00:16:37,799 --> 00:16:41,600
I think most Jews do not in
America, do not view Israel as

211
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,399
one of their most important issues.
As soon as we go back to talking

212
00:16:45,399 --> 00:16:48,840
about whatever it is, uh,
you know, they're going to vote for

213
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,159
Joe Biden and not Donald Trump or
whoever is going to be the GOP candidate.

214
00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:56,440
This is it's not like any of
this is new to the Jewish community.

215
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,559
If you're Jewish, you've been you
know that this has been going on

216
00:16:59,639 --> 00:17:03,200
for all long time. So the
idea that they're all of a sudden going

217
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,799
to stop and change the way they
view politics in general, I think is

218
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,400
wishful thinking. Well, I think
there's a lot of cope or wishful thinking

219
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,440
going on in people noticing that a
bunch of Jews are realizing how bad the

220
00:17:15,519 --> 00:17:23,599
left is on simple things like should
Jewish children be slaughtered? And it's true

221
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:26,880
that Jews are not like a huge
percentage of our population, even though our

222
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:33,920
country is the second most populous Jewish, Like we have six million Jews compared

223
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,119
to Israel's seven million. That makes
us, right, I think we're the

224
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,559
second most populous. Yeah, yeah, for sure, entry for Jews.

225
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,680
But I also think it is kind
of important that you've seen a bunch of

226
00:17:42,759 --> 00:17:51,160
high profile Jewish individuals speaking about how
hurt they are by their former left wing

227
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,759
their left wing friends, former friends
for their approach here. I think there's

228
00:17:55,839 --> 00:18:00,279
something meaningful about that. In this
I don't quite know how to explain what

229
00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:03,519
I'm what I'm thinking, but it
has been a wake up call for a

230
00:18:03,519 --> 00:18:10,759
lot of people. It is one
of these things existential threats can can wake

231
00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:15,000
people up to the seriousness of certain
things, even if it's causing them to

232
00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:18,599
look back on BLM in a slightly
different way, or the importance of not

233
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,599
leaving it to the end state when
you decide to defend yourself, but thinking

234
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:30,880
through who your true allies are heading
into problem spots. So I it's not

235
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:36,799
nothing that you're hearing so much from
so many former moderit or left wing people.

236
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,440
But I also think that we'll see
this a little bit in the year

237
00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:45,759
to come how this plays out,
because the Democrat Party does have a massive

238
00:18:45,799 --> 00:18:49,599
problem. I mean, you just
said the right wing has certain anti Semitic

239
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,519
elements. It also has like a
mixture of foreign policy elements, you know,

240
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,599
just like the left wing does.
The left wing, though, has

241
00:18:56,759 --> 00:19:00,640
people in very prominent positions who there
are no way to put it other than

242
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:06,039
this pro hamas. And so this
creates a bit of a collision course in

243
00:19:06,079 --> 00:19:08,559
that close knit family of the Democrat
Party about how they're going to handle this

244
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:15,880
situation like they've got a president who's
simultaneously supporting Israel while also trying to get

245
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,440
Israel to back off from some of
what it plans to do in the Gaza

246
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,680
Strip. You have the State Department, which has experienced some resignations, some

247
00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:29,240
outbursts, like some real conflict.
They said Anthony Blincoln had to do an

248
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:34,160
emergency meeting this weekend. I think
with people over how they do not support

249
00:19:34,319 --> 00:19:41,440
the Biden administration supporting Israel. You
have Rashida Talib and ilhan Omar and Alexandria

250
00:19:41,599 --> 00:19:45,640
Cassio Cortez who are not like nobody's
in the in the Democratic Conference, who

251
00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:51,680
are losing their minds over their support
for Hamas and their inability to condemn what

252
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:57,200
Hamas did. And so I think
you're going to start seeing this spillover in

253
00:20:00,079 --> 00:20:07,599
campaign season in a way that Democrats
really probably wish they could avoid. This

254
00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:12,640
is Molly Hemingway encouraging you to listen
to my favorite podcast, Issues, et

255
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:18,839
cetera. Every day you get in
depth interviews with host Todd Wilkin, asking

256
00:20:18,039 --> 00:20:23,920
expert guests substantive, thought provoking questions
on all of the important news and issues

257
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,799
of our day. The expert guests
are in culture, law, ethics,

258
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:34,400
philosophy, theology, and apologetics.
Expert guests expansive topics, always extolling christ

259
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:41,920
issues, et cetera. Yeah,
I hope you're right, but I'm still

260
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,279
pretty skeptical that this is going to
be one of the main, you know

261
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:51,400
issues. Jews will set this aside
or Jewish Democrats and they'll they'll, you

262
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,960
know, here's what happens, you
know, don David. Yeah, sorry,

263
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,039
okay, sorry, I don't even
interact to go on. No,

264
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,880
I want you to tell me,
like you don't think it's going to be

265
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,039
a major issue. We have protests
in every major city in the country in

266
00:21:04,039 --> 00:21:08,000
support of AMAS. Right now,
they're flying Hamas flags in Minneapolis, like,

267
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,799
this is not a Democrats always have
street protest. I just saw a

268
00:21:12,839 --> 00:21:18,599
picture of someone saying reproductive justice is
a free Palestine issue or something, and

269
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:23,119
it was like, are they're linking
their their abortion stuff to free Palestine?

270
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,319
It is where their young people are. It relates to the poll you said,

271
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:33,160
and Democrats rely on street action and
this is where the street action is.

272
00:21:33,279 --> 00:21:34,839
It's it's not going to be something
they can paper over. Do you

273
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:41,559
think I don't know we'll see.
I guess I'm always skeptical because I've heard

274
00:21:41,599 --> 00:21:45,000
this. I've been writing for twenty
something years, I've been you knowlved in

275
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,400
thinking about politics for you know,
thirty years, and I heard that,

276
00:21:48,599 --> 00:21:52,079
you know, you know, I've
heard this when Al Sharpton was around,

277
00:21:52,079 --> 00:21:56,480
when Jesse Jackson was around. I've
heard this when you know, when Obama

278
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:02,880
was around and he turned the Democratic
Party against to Israel, not alone obviously,

279
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,559
but was a big, big reason
for it, and it never really

280
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,960
happened. I think what happens is
what's going to happen is Donald Trump's going

281
00:22:10,039 --> 00:22:12,039
to go out there and he'll say
something about George Soros or something, and

282
00:22:12,079 --> 00:22:15,160
a bunch of ADL types and everyone
else is going to go out and say,

283
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,200
look, the right's also anti Semitic, you know, listen to the

284
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:23,680
dog whistle, and they're going to
compare supporting Hamas with talking about George Soros,

285
00:22:23,759 --> 00:22:27,519
as they always do, and it's
going to just devolve into that sort

286
00:22:27,599 --> 00:22:30,759
of thing. I mean, initially, the ADL, for instance, which

287
00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:36,240
is just a terrible organization in so
many ways. I've written about it often.

288
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,440
I think Jonathan Goldblad, I've heard
you guys. Nick green Blad,

289
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:45,720
maybe it was on msn and he
like basically, you know, he criticized

290
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:51,160
the network, MSNBC on MSNBC,
saying, who's writing your scripts? Because

291
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,559
they were so pro Hamas. This
happened like days after the attack. The

292
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:59,920
other day, ADL sends out a
ADL sends out a story about how whites'

293
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,240
premisests are out there marching against Israel, like that is like talk about,

294
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,039
you know, and they don't even
mention the left wing protests which are happening

295
00:23:07,079 --> 00:23:11,119
everywhere. They're huge. Did you
see the pictures of that Queen's New York

296
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,319
protest? That's where I was born, and it was huge, and there

297
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,480
are Palestini you know, Hamas flags
all over and people with all kinds of

298
00:23:18,519 --> 00:23:25,599
anti Semitic signs and stuff in Times
Square in New York City. We're still

299
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,480
more Jews, I think, live
in New York than anywhere. Maybe Florida's

300
00:23:27,519 --> 00:23:32,880
catching up. And there was a
person holding up on swastika, right,

301
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,759
I mean, I know it's one
person, but you know it that kind

302
00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:40,119
of thing does rely. So anyway, I don't know how I got here,

303
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,240
But the point is I'm still not
sure that someone in New York,

304
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,359
a Jewish person is going to vote
for Donald Trump or Republicans because there are

305
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:51,200
just too many issues for them that
they feel, you know, undermines their

306
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,359
their wider beliefs. But I hope
you're right. I hope everyone's right because

307
00:23:56,039 --> 00:23:59,000
there are other issues. But if
people want to destroy you, if they're

308
00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:03,079
out there saying from the River to
the Sea, if they're supporting we're not

309
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,359
saying anything about Russia, talib or
ilhan Omar, they're your enemies. I

310
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,839
mean, you know, we're all
Americans, but we also have you know,

311
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,319
we're Jews, we're Christians, we're
Muslims, we have other things that

312
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,000
we care about. And I just
I just don't know how people in good

313
00:24:18,039 --> 00:24:22,599
conscience can support Democratic Party at this
point. Yeah, And I guess I'm

314
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:29,480
thinking less about politically and partisan voting
and more about what's considered acceptable speech or

315
00:24:29,519 --> 00:24:38,400
policy goals. I think that this
unrest is less about people switching parties,

316
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:45,160
but maybe more about there will be
discussions in debate within the Democrat Party modering

317
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,880
the Democrats, and that's more interesting. Like as one college president come out

318
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,119
and said, this is horrible.
You know, we stand with Israel or

319
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,319
something like that. I don't think
so has any Democrat come out and said

320
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,079
ilhan Omar is wrong? I kind
of think Ben Sas did that, Yeah

321
00:25:00,319 --> 00:25:03,640
initially. So I'm talking about the
elite schools and no, no offense to

322
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,680
Florida or wherever it is. But
you know what I mean, I don't

323
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,559
know. I don't even know why
we're not really even arguing about this.

324
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:17,279
I guess I don't know is the
answer, but I don't know's. It's

325
00:25:17,279 --> 00:25:22,319
definitely rattled me. So let's just
talk about something else. Let's talk about

326
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,359
something other than Israel, which has
occupied my mind now for two weeks.

327
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,200
And let's talk about the Supreme Court
of the United States that's occupying my mind

328
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:36,200
a lot because of my other project. Yeah, and last Friday, the

329
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,720
Supreme Court announced that it was taking
up Missouri v. Biden, which is

330
00:25:40,759 --> 00:25:47,599
this massively important free speech case that
came out of Louisiana and Missouri, where

331
00:25:47,599 --> 00:25:55,319
those those states to the Biden administration
force for restricting Americans' First Amendment rights by

332
00:25:55,839 --> 00:26:03,240
colluding or directing big tech companies to
censor protected American speech on a range of

333
00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:10,160
issues from COVID and pandemic response and
like origins of the Wuhan virus, to

334
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:17,039
election issues, things about BLM actually
like all the hot button issues, oh,

335
00:26:17,039 --> 00:26:19,599
the Hunter Biden laptop, which is
really a story about the Biden family

336
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:30,079
business and its corruption. And so
these states sued a circuit court had enjoined

337
00:26:30,279 --> 00:26:38,480
or restricted the US government from participating
in this censorship industrial regime by directing big

338
00:26:38,519 --> 00:26:44,000
tech companies to censor American speech.
Then the Fifth Circuit, it was appealed

339
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,000
to the Fifth Circuit by the Biden
administration, and the Fifth Circuit upheld most

340
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,160
of that. Originally they upheld most
of it, and then upon review they

341
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:56,200
upheld all of that injunction prohibiting the
Biden administration from restricting First Amendment speech.

342
00:26:57,079 --> 00:27:02,920
That was emergency appealed to the Supreme
Court. And then where we were on

343
00:27:03,039 --> 00:27:07,160
Friday is that they agreed to take
up the case but or the injunction,

344
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,480
but they allowed. They're saying that
the injunction is stayed, is stopped,

345
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:18,279
and so that means the Biden administration
can continue to censor at least until this

346
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,240
issue is resolved, which could be
like the end of June, which is

347
00:27:22,279 --> 00:27:29,039
pretty deep into the election season,
and so we don't know exactly who on

348
00:27:29,079 --> 00:27:33,200
the court was in favor of that, but we know that Justices Alito,

349
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:38,319
Thomas, and Gorsich were not in
favor of allowing the government to continue to

350
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:45,720
censor, and so they Alito wrote
a dissent where he explained why it was

351
00:27:45,839 --> 00:27:48,480
like completely wrong to allow the government
to continue to censor. A lot of

352
00:27:48,519 --> 00:27:52,559
people are really hopeful about this case
because the facts are so good and so

353
00:27:52,640 --> 00:28:00,440
strong, and First Amendment jurisprudence is
so sort of consistently good for free speech

354
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,039
rights. But there I talked with
someone who's kind of been following the case,

355
00:28:04,079 --> 00:28:08,400
and she was saying she's very concerned
about the fact that they only had

356
00:28:08,559 --> 00:28:14,799
three justices publicly saying it was wrong
to let the government continue the censor.

357
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,240
This week on the Word of the
Lord Indoors Forever, we are rolling right

358
00:28:22,279 --> 00:28:29,720
along in our adventures and acts with
almost persuaded Paul Sales for Rome a fateful

359
00:28:29,759 --> 00:28:34,680
decision, Paul's I Told you so, and approaching Land. Join me,

360
00:28:34,839 --> 00:28:40,559
pastor Will Whedon for the Word of
the Lord Indoors Forever, your daily fifteen

361
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,759
minute verse by verse Bible study on
demand. Listen at the Word Indoors dot

362
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:56,039
org. Or your favorite podcast provider. Can I can I be negative again?

363
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,839
Right? Yes? We're here,
Yes, how the case is going

364
00:29:00,839 --> 00:29:03,200
to go to me? It's very
clear what should happen. But I think

365
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:10,160
this speaks to something more dangerous,
a deeper embedded authoritarian outlook about the world

366
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:15,200
that has become the norm among Democrats, and that is that it's okay for

367
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,759
the government to involve itself in speech. I mean, this would have been

368
00:29:17,839 --> 00:29:22,799
unthinkable twenty thirty, forty years ago, maybe since World FDR and Wilson involved

369
00:29:22,839 --> 00:29:27,759
themselves in this way as well.
But put it this way, it's even

370
00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:33,000
if the administration didn't direct people to
do anything, the simple fact that they

371
00:29:33,119 --> 00:29:38,240
talk about it or ask for any
kind of censorship is going to be followed.

372
00:29:38,279 --> 00:29:42,559
Because the United States government is the
most powerful organization on earth. It

373
00:29:42,599 --> 00:29:48,559
is, you know, and these
companies spend millions every year rent seeking and

374
00:29:48,599 --> 00:29:51,920
lobbying and looking for favorable regulations.
They're going to do whatever the government tells

375
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,839
them to do. And the very
idea that the government thinks it's okay,

376
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,519
that the administration thinks it's okay to
tell people what to do, I think

377
00:29:57,599 --> 00:30:03,000
that that's just even a bigger problem. I would just like to say that

378
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,559
the government has always wanted to restrict
Americans free speech rights, which is why

379
00:30:07,599 --> 00:30:11,359
our founders wisely put in protection for
our natural right to speak, and that

380
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,799
in fact, you see examples of
this throughout American history, I think,

381
00:30:15,319 --> 00:30:21,000
maybe most famously through Woodrow Wilson and
other progressives who tried to restrict protected American

382
00:30:21,039 --> 00:30:27,000
speech. But the big change therefore
is not government desire, but the capability

383
00:30:27,519 --> 00:30:33,559
to absolutely obliterate the public square from
being a place of free expression. And

384
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,519
I think it's harder now than ever
to do that, actually, I think,

385
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,200
I mean, I agree with the
first thing you said, but just

386
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,680
that, like now, because of
the way tech works, in the way

387
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,839
that we have the public square being
in the space of social media, it's

388
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:51,000
just very easy to shut down debate
and freedom. I think it's much harder.

389
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,200
You don't think it's harder now when
then, when you only had newspapers

390
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,880
that did whatever the government wanted.
I mean, you you know, even

391
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,039
the Hunters thing, they tried to
shut it down down, but you know,

392
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,680
because Twitter existed, because other social
media exists, that people knew what

393
00:31:03,759 --> 00:31:10,119
was going on. I'm mildly appalled
that you're not aware of how much effort

394
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:15,720
is put into restricting distribution of speech
and debate in this country. So there

395
00:31:15,759 --> 00:31:21,799
is an entire censorship industrial complex.
The federal government has numerous, like dozens

396
00:31:21,839 --> 00:31:27,720
of agencies that their job is to
is to locate speech that they disagree with

397
00:31:27,799 --> 00:31:32,759
in whatever area they're in. So
if it's like if it's you know,

398
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:37,960
CDC, it's about health issues,
where if you disagree with what Anthony Fauci

399
00:31:37,119 --> 00:31:42,559
or other sort of corrupt public health
officials say about a given response to a

400
00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:48,920
public health threat, they can silence
you. And they direct all these intermediary

401
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:53,799
organizations that they helped set up,
these NewsGuard type places where they have complicated

402
00:31:53,799 --> 00:32:00,680
algorithms to detect unfavorable speech, protected
but unfavorable speech. Let's say you criticize

403
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:05,799
a Democrat politician. Let's say you
question the goodness of mail in ballots.

404
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,039
Let's say you quote Jimmy Carter questioning
the goodness of mail in ballots. That

405
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:14,039
is viewed as a threat to the
republic and attack on democracy, and so

406
00:32:14,519 --> 00:32:20,680
they come up with ways to recommend
that big tech companies silence you and silence

407
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,680
the distribution of your speech. So
let's say you're a media organization like the

408
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:30,119
Federalist. Let's say that you have
reported honestly and accurately across a whole wide

409
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,599
range of issues. Let's say you
reported accurately that the Russia collusion hoax was

410
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,359
a scam. Let's say you reported
accurately that Brett Kavanaugh, a federal judge

411
00:32:38,359 --> 00:32:44,160
of twelve years at the time of
his confirmation, was not a serial gang

412
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,839
rapist roaming the streets of suburban Maryland. Let's say that you said, gosh,

413
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:53,160
we have pretty well developed ways of
responding to emerging pandemics, and shutting

414
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:58,759
down the economy and closing churches is
not one of them. If you said

415
00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:02,720
these things, all of which were
true and accurate, not only did our

416
00:33:02,759 --> 00:33:09,440
government, working in the censorship industrial
complex, have the capability of shutting down

417
00:33:09,559 --> 00:33:15,559
those very important arguments, they shut
down all your arguments. They restrict your

418
00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:21,000
ability to distribute your news information everywhere. And let's say that you are the

419
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,599
New York Times or the Washington Post
and you were on the wrong side of

420
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:28,519
every single one of these issues,
you get amplified. So tell me again

421
00:33:28,759 --> 00:33:34,400
that in our current space, we
have like a really great diverse information environment

422
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,440
I love how mad you got to
meet. Listen. I've never said the

423
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,799
words you just said. I didn't
say we have a great environment. I

424
00:33:40,839 --> 00:33:45,559
simply said that with the Internet,
it's harder to keep wraps on this sort

425
00:33:45,559 --> 00:33:49,599
of thing than it was when you
had physical media, when the government could

426
00:33:49,599 --> 00:33:52,839
go through mail. That's all I'm
saying. I'm saying that it's more difficult

427
00:33:52,839 --> 00:33:58,160
now to shut everyone up because of
the Internet. I've said this last week

428
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,519
with Twitter, for instance. You
know, in the old days, when

429
00:34:00,559 --> 00:34:04,559
the media shut down a story,
it would almost never be debunked. It

430
00:34:04,599 --> 00:34:07,320
would take months for it to be
debunked. Now can instantaneously debunked. I'm

431
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,639
not saying it's perfect. I agree
with you. I agree with you.

432
00:34:09,679 --> 00:34:14,360
All of this is very authoritarian,
but it's very well. I'm just making

433
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,760
a technical point that in the Internet
age, it's a little bit harder to

434
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,800
just shut everyone up, and a
lot of this gets out. That's all

435
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,360
I'm saying. So I agree with
you. I agree. I mean,

436
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,480
I think in the old days,
at least there was a fake emergency,

437
00:34:28,519 --> 00:34:31,039
not a fake a war. So
there's a war on we can't have today,

438
00:34:31,559 --> 00:34:37,119
you know. Barack Obama says that
misinformation kills people. And he might

439
00:34:37,119 --> 00:34:39,559
be right when it comes from the
New York Times, but not when it

440
00:34:39,599 --> 00:34:44,880
comes from you know, people just
on the Internet, and they agree they

441
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:51,840
labeled true and accurate information misinformation or
disinformation, all the while they are running

442
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:59,119
legit disinformation operations against the American people. It is a very you know,

443
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:04,519
scary situation. Totally agree with it. I mean, you had you had.

444
00:35:04,559 --> 00:35:06,679
I don't know if people remember what
was it called. It was like

445
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,519
the Ministry of Truth thing they wanted
to set up. What was it called,

446
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,920
Yeah, Nina, Nina Jankowitch,
I don't remember. She was at

447
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,960
the Department of Homeland Security, and
it was just that was one tiny little

448
00:35:16,039 --> 00:35:22,760
subset of a massive operation. I
there are people throughout our defense department that

449
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:28,360
are all about information warfare, like
creating false realities. There are there's this

450
00:35:28,639 --> 00:35:35,400
SAISA, you know, the the
Secure Cybersecurity you know, yeah, which

451
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,280
is all about running disinformation ops.
And I saw Politico was like, gosh,

452
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:43,639
Republicans don't seem to like the election
medaling that's done by SISA. That's

453
00:35:43,679 --> 00:35:46,039
like a weird thing. It's like, yeah, it's really weird that they

454
00:35:46,039 --> 00:35:52,920
would be opposed to this like unbelievable
level of election medaling that comes from these

455
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:57,320
cyber operations. Yeah, I'm just
going to stress this one last time.

456
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,960
I think it was like the Surgeon
General also said we need to root out

457
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,920
disinformation about hell stuff like that.
The government has no role it is clearing

458
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:07,000
the Constitution in this. So if
the court doesn't rule the right way,

459
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,719
that's a problem. But the bigger
problem is that if American people don't care

460
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:15,559
anymore, the Court's not going to
matter. If the American people don't care

461
00:36:15,599 --> 00:36:19,599
about the First Amendment or an entire
major party doesn't care about it, sooner

462
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,719
or later, the Court's not going
to matter. You're gonna have states doing

463
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:27,400
it, like California or whatever,
and it's going to be a terrible situation.

464
00:36:27,519 --> 00:36:30,840
That's my only point. I guess
I am more inclined to believe that

465
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:35,639
hopefully, in the Internet age,
you can circumvent that kind of censorship better

466
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:42,400
than you could during World War two
World War one. That's all, So,

467
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:47,960
Molly, let's talk for a moment
about the House speaker fight that is

468
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,199
going on. I mean, I
don't really care very much at all,

469
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,559
but should we be worried that,
like the things that they were actually getting

470
00:36:55,599 --> 00:37:00,039
done, like uncovering a lot of
the Biden family business stuff is going to

471
00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:04,800
be hampered by this or what's going
on. Yeah, we're heading into week

472
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,400
three of no I think we've actually
passed week three of not having a speaker.

473
00:37:08,679 --> 00:37:15,840
And I was someone who was generally
pretty positive about Kevin McCarthy. I

474
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:21,159
understood why there was frustration with him, but does not seem like there's a

475
00:37:21,199 --> 00:37:24,400
better alternative that is coming around here. And I keep wondering if we're not

476
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:30,280
going to see the return of Kevin
McCarthy since he was managing a very difficult

477
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,360
to manage conference. Like I look
at all these names of other people who

478
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,280
are out there, and even Scalice
and Jordan, you know botho I think

479
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,400
would have been fine. I don't
really get the feeling that anybody would do

480
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:45,239
a better job than Kevin McCarthy.
So I wonder if we won't see,

481
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:50,079
you know, won't see him coming
back. But one of the things we

482
00:37:50,119 --> 00:37:52,320
have looming is a government shut down, which I'm not sure everybody in the

483
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:58,639
conference views as a bad thing.
There are all sorts of there's just like

484
00:37:58,679 --> 00:38:01,960
the congressional calendar going on, but
there also is a lot of oversight stuff

485
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:08,519
going on, so most of that's
coming out of Comer's Weaponization Committee, and

486
00:38:08,599 --> 00:38:14,440
there are pre impeachment proceedings going on
related to the Biden family business, and

487
00:38:14,639 --> 00:38:17,800
without a speaker, I think it's
going to be harder to deal with some

488
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:22,679
of those things, and that that
might apply some pressure to the conference.

489
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:28,480
Just this week there was the news
I guess late last week there was news

490
00:38:28,519 --> 00:38:35,760
that Comer had found a check written
by Joe Biden's brother James, to Joe

491
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:40,280
Biden for two hundred thousand dollars.
That this check was written to Joe Biden

492
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:46,840
immediately after James Biden had gotten a
loan from his AmeriCorps business, which my

493
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:52,719
husband has written at length about,
which is like a domestic version of the

494
00:38:52,760 --> 00:39:00,559
grift that the Biden family was running
internationally. It related to health care work,

495
00:39:01,039 --> 00:39:05,199
but was one of these things where
they sold influence, you know,

496
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,079
when they were trying to get financing
or funding for their business, they would

497
00:39:08,079 --> 00:39:13,639
say, we can open any door
for you because this guy is literally Joe

498
00:39:13,639 --> 00:39:17,199
Biden's brother, and it ended up
being like the whole company I think got

499
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:22,280
raided by the FBI. Nobody seemed
to care about this in twenty eighteen because

500
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,039
our media were too obsessed with a
made up Russia collusion hoax at that time,

501
00:39:25,599 --> 00:39:30,760
and so and so what the Biden
people said in response was like,

502
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:35,000
oh no, it's like nothing to
see here. It's just a loan repayment.

503
00:39:36,039 --> 00:39:40,400
And first off, there's not necessarily
any evidence that James Biden was ever

504
00:39:40,519 --> 00:39:45,440
loaned money by Joe Biden, So
you need to see the proof that,

505
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:51,039
in fact, Joe Biden had lent
his brother two hundred thousand dollars or more

506
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,639
to see that this was a loan
repayment. But secondly, since this company

507
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:59,679
ended up failing shortly after this loan
was made to James Biden, which he

508
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:04,599
claim, then you forwarded onto Joe
even if it were alone, it shows

509
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:10,920
that this corrupt family business personally benefited
Joe Biden, even if it were just

510
00:40:12,159 --> 00:40:15,199
a loan repayment, which I think
people are kind of skeptical about whether that's

511
00:40:15,199 --> 00:40:19,159
even true, and Margo Cleveland has
a great piece up about this, but

512
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,199
it just kind of reminds you how
important it is to have Republicans in control

513
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:29,280
of anything, because the Department of
Justice is certainly not looking into Joe Biden's

514
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,840
family business. They're actually trying to
cover up everything and restrict people's ability to

515
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:37,320
look into it. Our corporate media
are not looking into any aspect of this,

516
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,199
you know, Margo Cleveland, Mark
Hemingway or two of like. I

517
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:45,639
don't know, probably can count on
one hand the number of reporters looking into

518
00:40:45,639 --> 00:40:52,400
AmeriCorps. And without the Weaponization Committee
controlled by Republicans, you're just not going

519
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:58,199
to get this kind of information otherwise. Hey, y'all, this is Sarah

520
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,119
from the Sarah Carter Show. Thanks
for listening to the Federalists Radio Hour.

521
00:41:01,519 --> 00:41:05,760
We all have a heartfelt reason to
support our blood pressure. In fact,

522
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:10,039
more than half the US population would
benefit from blood pressure support. Superbeats heart

523
00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:15,719
shoes are an easy and convenient way
to support healthy blood pressure and promote heart

524
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:21,320
healthy energy paired with a healthy lifestyle. The antioxidants and superbeats are clinically shown

525
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:25,119
to be nearly two times more effective
at promoting normal blood pressure than a healthy

526
00:41:25,159 --> 00:41:30,719
lifestyle alone. And believe me,
I know because I'm traveling all over the

527
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:35,199
country covering stories and frankly sometimes all
over the world, and it's so easy.

528
00:41:35,199 --> 00:41:38,719
I just keep my super Beats in
my handbag, in my pocket wherever,

529
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:43,960
and I've got amazing energy and guess
what, they taste really good.

530
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:49,559
So supporting healthy blood pressure comes with
a bonus. Superbeats Heart Shoes support healthy

531
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,840
circulation, so you not only get
blood pressure support, you also get a

532
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:58,639
productive heart, healthy energy without the
crash. Double your potential with Superbat Heart

have a question, though, did the

538
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:29,800
memo line say influence pedling grift on
it? Because if not, there's no

539
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,800
proof that there's anything wrong with this. I mean, that's literally what they're

540
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,559
The argument's going to be from Philip
bump Er, who doesn't know how babies

541
00:42:36,599 --> 00:42:40,360
are made, and everyone else.
I'm sorry. I saw yesterday that chrys

542
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,519
Eliza, who I think used to
work at CNN and Washington Posts and as

543
00:42:44,559 --> 00:42:47,519
I'm sure a very very nice individual. Yes, but not known for his

544
00:42:47,639 --> 00:42:53,360
journalistic chops. He said his favorite
reporter in the world is Philip Bump.

545
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:58,679
It made me feel very badly for
Philip Bump. Yeah, I told I,

546
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:01,880
and they said that the perfect tweet
would never be made, And there

547
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:08,840
it was. Who is chrystalism praising
Philip Bump? Yeah, it's perfect.

548
00:43:09,159 --> 00:43:14,519
Ace of spades. One of my
favorite favorite blogs in the universe pointed me

549
00:43:14,679 --> 00:43:20,159
to a Philip Bump ted X talk
where he said the problem with the world

550
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:28,440
is subjective media. He taped this
ten minute bit of problem in I think

551
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:34,599
twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen. The
problem is subjective media. Problem is subjectively

552
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,960
unlike him, so he a far
lovel He was unbiased, who doesn't know

553
00:43:38,039 --> 00:43:43,000
anything about anything. He's objective and
he's unbiased. So when he says there's

554
00:43:43,039 --> 00:43:45,559
nothing to see here about the Biden
family business, could we instead look at

555
00:43:45,559 --> 00:43:52,119
this made up story about Brett Kavanaugh. He's speaking objectively and the problem is

556
00:43:52,519 --> 00:43:58,440
those subjective people who say he's full
of horse pockey. You know, there

557
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,280
is this thing among lifeftists where they
think that their position is just common sense

558
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:07,199
in the norm. They don't really
view their their their outlook as being partisan

559
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,719
or political. They just think it's
normal and moral and that how could anyone

560
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:14,599
argue against it, So it kind
of makes sense because he's clueless. But

561
00:44:14,639 --> 00:44:20,400
I will say this, people like
Jay Rosen and other sort of famous journalism

562
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,800
professors argue that the that the media
is not subjective enough, that there's to

563
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:30,679
both sidism go too much both side
asm going on, and which is why

564
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,960
journal journalists don't you know, anyone
goes to journalism school probably comes out not

565
00:44:35,039 --> 00:44:38,519
as a critical thinker but as a
kind of credentialed moral nit wit. And

566
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:43,800
it's a huge problem for journalism,
which goes back to all the other stuff.

567
00:44:44,599 --> 00:44:49,920
Anyway, that was a real uplifting
podcast. Let's talk about culture.

568
00:44:51,639 --> 00:44:57,119
The world's falling apart. It's so
weird because things actually should be much like

569
00:44:57,159 --> 00:45:00,320
we should be in a nearer utopian
state being right now, you know,

570
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:05,719
most people there are. So there's
so much good stuff that's going on in

571
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,599
the world, and yet you know, as far as just like how we

572
00:45:07,639 --> 00:45:12,599
can live and live with each other, and yet we're always back to the

573
00:45:12,639 --> 00:45:19,719
same Yes, David, because it's
actually not about GDP that that the reason

574
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,840
why people live healthy, happy lives
in harmony with other people is not solely

575
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:28,400
reduced to GDP. You do want
to have a thriving economy and that's important,

576
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,119
but so are I don't even know
what that what that means. It's

577
00:45:31,119 --> 00:45:37,400
not just atheist, and you don't
realize the importance of Basically, what I'm

578
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:43,079
saying is everybody needs Jesus and that
is how we could have peace here.

579
00:45:43,159 --> 00:45:45,719
That's what I've been praying. Actually, it's just like for the peace that

580
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:49,400
God gives. I didn't mean it
like that at all. I mean,

581
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,760
I actually do think people need religion, and I think that, yeah,

582
00:45:53,159 --> 00:45:57,199
I mean I think that we're going
to go through this again now, so

583
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,559
I think that, yeah, you
know, GDP is not going to make

584
00:46:00,599 --> 00:46:02,159
you happy, but it is a
big part of our lives that we don't

585
00:46:02,199 --> 00:46:07,199
have to struggle for food, that
we can do interesting things in our lives,

586
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,239
that we have the time to spend
with our families and make families and

587
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,519
live, you know, and do
all kinds of you know, take on

588
00:46:13,679 --> 00:46:17,920
hobbies. And who was that anti
Semitic pastor that Barack Obama had, Oh,

589
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,000
Jeremy Wright. Jeremy right to quote
Jeremy Wright, The chickens are coming

590
00:46:22,079 --> 00:46:28,760
home to roost, like we have
turned our country into an immoral place and

591
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:30,880
we are now reaping the benefits of
that. So I do also want to

592
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,880
say I haven't been able to talk
about it for a few weeks, that

593
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:39,639
I'm slowly making my way through the
Old Testament, and I just finished Ecclesiastes.

594
00:46:39,679 --> 00:46:45,199
I'm in Song of Solomon now,
and that is an amazing I would

595
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:50,280
just like to kind of read Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes over and over again.

596
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,880
And I had mentioned when I was
in the Psalms, and one of

597
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:57,639
our listeners, who I think is
Orthodox Jewish, was saying that it is

598
00:46:57,679 --> 00:47:01,199
the practice in his community that you
read through I think the Psalms, Proverbs,

599
00:47:01,199 --> 00:47:05,599
and Ecclesiastes like once a month.
And so they sent this little link

600
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,400
to how you break it up,
and it was very helpful. I really

601
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:13,840
liked it. But man, are
those three amazing books to read again in

602
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:20,920
the context of what you've read that's
come before. It's great. The watch

604
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:28,360
the connection between politics and the economy
and how it affects your wallet. Fifty

605
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,760
six percent of adults feel behind on
retirement. Are you one of them?

606
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:35,159
People are living longer, which means
people need more saved up. Make sure

607
00:47:35,199 --> 00:47:37,320
to not fall trapped to a guy
that tells you when you should retire,

608
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,760
because everyone's situation is different. Are
you going to have to work longer?

609
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:44,960
Whether it's happening in DC or down
on Wall Street, it's affecting you financially.

Be informed. Check out the Watchdot
on Wall Street podcast with Chris Markowski

611
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:57,480
on Apple, Spotify, or wherever
you get your podcasts. What I watched

612
00:47:57,599 --> 00:48:01,920
is exactly opposite. I would say, what you were doing. So the

613
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:05,840
other day I ran out of things
to watch. I like to take a

614
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,639
little time up, get my mind
off what's going on. So I needed

615
00:48:07,639 --> 00:48:14,000
some empty, some vacuous, vapid
entertainment. And I'm like, you know,

616
00:48:14,119 --> 00:48:16,119
I should watch the Harry Potter movies. See what all the hubbubs about,

617
00:48:16,119 --> 00:48:20,639
all the young people are talking about
it and all that. And so

618
00:48:20,679 --> 00:48:23,800
I started watching all the Harry Potter. Harry Potter movies. I think I'm

619
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:29,360
on the third one or something.
They're awful. I mean, the whole

620
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:34,079
thing is so so so dumb.
I have trouble understanding why kids were so

621
00:48:34,559 --> 00:48:37,960
enthralled. Maybe because there's this imaginary
world that they're you know, that the

622
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:42,440
adults aren't part of in a way, but just terrible. So let me

623
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,840
ask that. Why I bring it
up is did you read these books?

624
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:46,760
Did you watch those movies? Or
do you think it's witchcraft and satanism?

625
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:50,960
Basically, I only read the first
one back, you know, when I

626
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:54,119
feel like I was almost a kid
myself. I read it on a trip

627
00:48:54,159 --> 00:48:58,440
to Europe. I forget the name
of it, but I liked it.

628
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,639
I thought it was good. I
thought it was good, but I didn't

629
00:49:00,639 --> 00:49:04,440
feel the need to read anything else. And then my children have read them

630
00:49:04,639 --> 00:49:07,920
multiple times, and you know,
we'd always do this thing where like they

631
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:09,440
had to read it before we could
watch it, and they had to be

632
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:13,880
old enough to read it where it
wouldn't be too scary. I thought the

633
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:19,199
movies were great, really, Oh
my god. For sure you would have

634
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:22,960
thought that they were like anti Christian
and kind of witchcrafty. I would say,

635
00:49:22,119 --> 00:49:27,119
in fact, quite the opposite.
I think they are very Christian interesting.

636
00:49:27,159 --> 00:49:29,199
I think they're as to do that
a lot with you. You'll do

637
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:30,599
that a lot. You'll do that
a lot. You do that a lot.

638
00:49:30,599 --> 00:49:32,559
With culture, you'll be like,
this is that? Like what was

639
00:49:32,599 --> 00:49:35,480
it? Remember that Show Girls,
and you're like, this is the most

640
00:49:35,519 --> 00:49:44,119
conservative show I've ever Girls was inadvertently
conservative and also White Lotus very inadvertently conservative.

641
00:49:44,199 --> 00:49:49,079
I felt like, or just I
think when you're telling truth, you

642
00:49:49,199 --> 00:49:52,000
might surprise yourself about where that goes. And I think both of those shows

643
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,920
were made by smart people who were
trying to tell truth. I don't know,

644
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,880
you know, I think maybe I
wanted to watch them because I see

645
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:02,360
that JK. Rowling is actually a
liberal, meaning a true liberal of the

646
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:07,039
old school that she believes in free
speech and stuff like that. So maybe

647
00:50:07,039 --> 00:50:08,960
I was inclined to try to watch
it. So, yeah, it's also

648
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:14,719
a Christian, so is she.
I didn't know that. Yeah, I

649
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:22,440
I watched the opposite of that type
of like worthwhile movie. I saw my

650
00:50:22,519 --> 00:50:27,599
best friend's wedding with Julia Roberts.
Yeah, of course I've seen that.

651
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,840
I think I thought it was something
horrible. Yeah. So there were these

652
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:36,000
two guys, two brown haired,
white guys, and they looked very similar

653
00:50:36,039 --> 00:50:37,760
to me, and my husband was
making fun of me. He's like,

654
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:42,320
they don't look similar at all,
and I'd be like, why is this

655
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,719
character saying that? He'd be like, what do you mean? And I'm

656
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,920
like, isn't that the one that's
gay and he'd be like, no,

657
00:50:49,039 --> 00:50:53,360
that's the one she's in love with. And I just apparently some brown haired

658
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:57,000
white guys look the same to me, or maybe I just wasn't able to

659
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:00,840
pay much attention. I actually have
this problem with blonde women. I think

660
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:05,480
blonde women are amazingly attractive, and
I get very excited when I see a

661
00:51:05,519 --> 00:51:07,639
blonde woman. Like when I was
young and I would be in a bar

662
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,639
and I saw a blonde woman,
I would just like my head would dart

663
00:51:09,679 --> 00:51:14,559
in her direction. But then I
thought they all looked the same. And

664
00:51:14,599 --> 00:51:17,039
I still have this problem, like
I like it, but it all looks

665
00:51:17,079 --> 00:51:20,960
the same to me, and so
I have to like really concentrate and be

666
00:51:21,079 --> 00:51:24,360
like, that's a different blonde woman. What is happening? That's kind of

667
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:30,480
so weird racist even wait, all
white women look alike white blonde women are

668
00:51:30,599 --> 00:51:34,480
like, now, listen, I
you know, I'm just kidding around,

669
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:38,679
but it is weird. Wait,
did I just say something wrong? All

670
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:42,920
blonde women look the same to you? And but like very good. It's

671
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,840
a good thing. Yeah good,
I'm very excited by it. But dramatic

672
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:52,840
women are the same. Also,
you confuse Rupert Everett was that his name?

673
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:58,840
Who was gay with Dermott Milrooney,
who is not who's like about a

674
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:04,000
foot shorter than that other guy and
looks nothing like him. So basically,

675
00:52:04,039 --> 00:52:09,880
you can use blonde women, you
confuse all blonde women and all brown haired

676
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:14,840
men. White men are the same
to you. I remember that movie?

677
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,800
Why did you hate it? It
was probably terrible. It was like the

678
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:21,639
nineties when they were singing doing the
singing song thing, you know, when

679
00:52:21,679 --> 00:52:25,320
they sing I forgot what did they
sing there? Paul tom Jones song Lady.

680
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:30,559
Anyway, I don't mock rock,
but yeah, I found her character

681
00:52:30,599 --> 00:52:34,320
to be disgusting and awful and like
evil, And then I also just thought

682
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:38,960
it was kind of like a sad
message about how women don't prioritize the right

683
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:44,360
thing. And then I wasn't entirely
sure she had the appropriate lesson learned.

684
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:47,480
Can we do a spoiler? I
forget? Does she does he end up

685
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:52,639
with Julia Roberts or with what was
her name? Cameron Diaz? He ends

686
00:52:52,679 --> 00:52:58,559
up with Cameron Diaz and she ends
up with her gay friend as friends.

687
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:04,519
As friends, Yeah, isn't it
a good message like that she realized she

688
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,440
doesn't come to a realization that she
should have married the man younger and stuff

689
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:13,960
like that. Wouldn't you think that
that's a positive message anyway? Sure?

690
00:53:14,119 --> 00:53:15,599
I don't know. I think I
think we're talking about this movie too much.

691
00:53:15,639 --> 00:53:22,239
It's first of all, it's thirty
years thirty years old. All I

692
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:25,159
did want to say, I didn't
see a couple of the Justified episodes that

693
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:30,519
you said you didn't like Justified Primeval
and I'm I'm enjoying it, So I

694
00:53:30,559 --> 00:53:34,199
have to take a step back now. First of all, that's completely wrong.

695
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,880
But also, did you watch the
original? I forget? Did you

696
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:42,679
like the original very much? So? Okay? And you think that this

697
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,639
show is on par with that show? No, but I think it's enjoyable.

698
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:53,159
If you took what's his name out, sheriff whatever, the star forget

699
00:53:53,159 --> 00:53:57,559
his name, Timothy Oliphant. I
don't get him confused with anybody. I

700
00:53:57,599 --> 00:54:01,480
don't know what I mean, because
just so, if you took him out

701
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:05,000
of that show, wouldn't the show
just be exactly the same, Like,

702
00:54:05,039 --> 00:54:07,840
he's completely irrelevant to that story.
It's like they had a story and they'd

703
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:12,079
like threw him in. You could
take him out. He's irrelevant to this

704
00:54:12,159 --> 00:54:15,760
plot line. Okay, well let's
let me let me keep watching, all

705
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:22,719
right. I mean, my wife
and I we watched a thing on YouTube.

706
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:27,960
It was a puzzle Championship of the
World, like the World Championship of

707
00:54:28,039 --> 00:54:34,000
puzzle making, and it was I
want to watch this surprisingly interesting. They

708
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:38,559
have you know, team team competitions, individual competitions, you know, different

709
00:54:38,639 --> 00:54:45,239
kinds of puzzles that are very difficult. And then they're from all over the

710
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:50,800
world, like this Spanish team was
amazing, Australians, Hungarian's checks like and

711
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,480
uh and Americans. I don't know. I just watched it. I was

712
00:54:53,519 --> 00:54:57,960
interested. There's a whole world of
puzzling you would not believe. There are

713
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:01,360
like YouTube channels that have millions of
fi just talking about puzzles, which I

714
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:05,159
hate. Do you like doing puzzles? I love doing puzzles, but I

715
00:55:05,199 --> 00:55:09,440
only do like one a year usually. My in laws live in Mexico and

716
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:14,039
they they have puzzles, Like they
know I like puzzles, so they give

717
00:55:14,079 --> 00:55:16,320
me a puzzle to do when I'm
down there makes me very happy. I

718
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:21,360
do also. I mean, if
you were to put a puzzle in front

719
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,000
of me, I would be finding
it very difficult to move past it without

720
00:55:24,079 --> 00:55:29,719
putting a few pieces in it.
Put all the pieces, and that is

721
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:32,679
the biggest waste of time I've on
earth. I hate. It is very

722
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:37,519
mentally satisfying for me. It feels
good, all right, everyone's got their

723
00:55:37,519 --> 00:55:42,639
stuff. Probably like what you would
say dropping acid is like or something.

724
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:49,440
I'm just kidding. I'm assuming you
haven't done that, but I haven't since

725
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:52,480
I saw the Dead in ninety four. Now, I never I never felt

726
00:55:52,519 --> 00:55:54,239
like it makes all the things feel
good in my head, like they all

727
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:58,960
kind of go into place, and
it helps me just kind of organize my

728
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:02,119
own thoughts while I'm doing it.
Yeah, it's like when you would say

729
00:56:02,119 --> 00:56:09,559
what mainlining heroin was, like,
this is true. I don't know what

730
00:56:09,639 --> 00:56:14,800
you're talking about. But speaking of
drugs, of illicit drugs, I read

731
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:16,480
a book. First of all,
I just want to preface this by saying

732
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:21,400
I should not be reading books about
music because I have a book due and

733
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,480
I have a lot of work on
my plate. But I read a book

734
00:56:23,519 --> 00:56:28,320
a new book out on lou Reid
called The King of New York. Lou

735
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:30,599
Reid was born in the town next
to where I grew up, so I'm

736
00:56:30,599 --> 00:56:34,320
always very interested in him. And
this is an excellent book if you care

737
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,639
about such things about Andy Warhol,
about the factory scene, about velvet underground,

738
00:56:37,639 --> 00:56:42,000
etc. But what I did find
funny in the book is that the

739
00:56:42,079 --> 00:56:47,239
author uses all these contemporary words for
like gender fluidity, and you know,

740
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:52,119
all this stuff trend This one's transgendered. We used to just call them drag

741
00:56:52,199 --> 00:56:53,880
queens. And I think that they
were called drag queens then, and I

742
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:59,719
don't think that these people and it
made me think of this anyway. In

743
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:05,760
the I like reading about the Warhole
scene because those people were transgressive. They

744
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,199
did not want to be normalized.
They did not want to be normal.

745
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:13,800
They wanted to be apart from square
society, whereas today we're supposed to accept

746
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:17,320
the abnormal as the norm. Right. Yeah, Like I just think about

747
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:22,679
John Waters being like explaining why he
wasn't super down with the gay marriage battle.

748
00:57:22,679 --> 00:57:24,119
He's like, I kind of got
into this because I didn't believe in

749
00:57:24,159 --> 00:57:30,840
marriage. So like the idea that
Candy Darling the drag Queen who was in

750
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:36,400
Warhole movies. One it was like
gender, you know was a transgender and

751
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:37,639
this and that. I mean,
listen, don't get me wrong, I

752
00:57:37,679 --> 00:57:42,159
think, you know whatever. I
don't want to get too deeply into it.

753
00:57:42,199 --> 00:57:45,079
But that kind of annoys me.
But the book itself, I thought

754
00:57:45,119 --> 00:57:50,280
generally about Lou Reed's music. I'm
a big fan of de Velvet underground Less

755
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:53,639
his solo stuff. But I just
thought it was a pretty good I thought

756
00:57:53,639 --> 00:57:59,039
it was a pretty good book.
I should, which you know. I

757
00:57:59,039 --> 00:58:00,039
don't know why I spent the time
I'm reading it. Sometimes I'm like,

758
00:58:00,079 --> 00:58:04,000
what am I doing? This is
like the fourth lou Read biography I've read.

759
00:58:04,239 --> 00:58:06,559
I just don't know why I'm doing. It's like when you drop acid,

760
00:58:06,599 --> 00:58:10,639
you just you don't think you do, you do weird things? Did

761
00:58:10,639 --> 00:58:14,440
you do? Is that it for
you? On the culture front? Oh

762
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,360
my god, what a depressing episode. I hope that people come back next

763
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:25,960
week. And but be lovers are
freedom and anxious for the facts. You're

764
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:31,199
getting with FOW you do it every
now
