0:28
wow what
0:31
was that? it was just like, what? like,
0:34
tell me okay
0:34
so listen
0:37
to this might know by now i was on a real
0:39
time with bill maher were recording this
0:41
on fridays it was a week ago today
0:44
and it wasn't it wasn't a very good experiences
0:46
or something that i had been stressing out for
0:48
literally over two years so
0:51
i was asked to be on the show or
0:53
in march thirteenth twenty
0:55
twenty which happens to be the day that everything
0:57
shut down and so i had like
0:59
really two years of the you like at some point you know
1:01
i'm going to get this call when i have to do this like and show
1:04
it was have been terrified of it for two years
1:06
i don't do a lot of public speaking
1:09
when i do do public speaking as usually in front of
1:11
a small audience not a piano millions
1:13
of people watching this and that studio audience
1:16
so it's very anxious about it but it
1:19
was much easier
1:21
than i thought like the studio
1:23
itself is much smaller than it appears on tv
1:26
and because of coed they have a smaller audience
1:28
so there is only about eighty people and
1:30
the audience with i think just took sort of a lot of the
1:32
the pressure off of overall
1:34
it was it was was a great experience i was on with andrew sullivan
1:36
which was fantastic to have
1:38
somebody who i'm friends were on
1:41
the show especially for the first times but
1:43
there was one thing in one way i think that it
1:45
really did change me so
1:47
i know that as a surprise people
1:50
because i sound aristocratic but i don't actually
1:52
come from money i grew up in a nerd
1:54
very middle class family i thought
1:56
that i was rich grabbed his are countless hell
1:59
out of poverty and at but during held know like
2:01
release was not though i've never been
2:03
wealthy of never sort of had fancy things
2:06
i , a driver you'd subaru you know
2:08
the nicer so tell that i usually get is a holiday
2:10
and and this is to
2:12
solely different i never flung first class or for
2:15
first flew first class i'm as they put you up at this
2:17
fabulous hotel in beverly hills where aids
2:19
hills swear to god i think the towels are made out of baby
2:21
seal belts and
2:24
i was so sort of
2:26
like anxious about this and sold
2:28
like a they they offered a car
2:30
to pick me up and drive me to the airport and on the
2:32
way there i was like no no no no no i'll just i'll
2:35
just take the bus to the ferry
2:37
to the light rail and then walk a half mile like
2:40
i always feel like like don't put yourself out
2:41
for me at all why a lot
2:44
why this league so
2:47
performative we humbly it's humbly
2:49
it's b o they have a shit load of
2:50
i know it's not even it's not performative
2:53
it's just i have this like that of the school
2:55
also frankly it's easier to get to the airport
2:57
from where i live if you take the ferry
3:00
they had a very light rail says it was passer trip
3:02
and driver elemental us but so
3:06
you know it and then i got their got to the airport
3:09
i tried to get into the delta sky club
3:11
they wouldn't let me and i thought that having a first class ticket
3:13
was just like me which is a few and know does it turns
3:15
out doesn't work like that but it turns out that in first
3:17
class like you have real cutlery
3:20
in a meal you know they serve drinks and
3:22
actual glasses like made of glass
3:24
not the little plastic cup that you would get
3:26
to the dentist office to spit your solution to
3:28
solving i just i i i
3:30
loved it and i felt sort of ashamed of myself
3:32
by this but i think it she's me in the sense
3:34
that like on the way
3:36
back after to of
3:39
, in luxury in recruiter
3:41
pick me up and take me to the studio and that and
3:43
car pick me up and take me back and they also
3:45
had also car for andrew car for casino
3:48
christine ember who is that the other guess on the shelf
3:50
so all three of us are leaving from the same
3:52
place driving ten minutes away then
3:55
driving back in our own separate you know
3:57
town cars fantastic and
3:59
then on the way back i felt so
4:02
like there were delays at the airport
4:04
for my flights and i just saw like
4:07
first class bitches
4:09
like you should see it like normally i have such
4:12
when , wash your first class normally i have such as
4:14
sort of knees or folky reaction to everybody there
4:16
i think the worst thing is impossibly seems like a teenager
4:19
or child and first class and to simply it should be
4:21
illegal but on the way back when
4:23
i was waiting for my flair for another should be as they should be
4:25
special seating for first class and then
4:28
the way back instead of you know taking the light rail
4:30
to the ferry to the bus with
4:33
i guess i will take this card please make my driver
4:35
british i think it has just changed
4:37
me and assists this fundamental way i want
4:39
to be rich now jersey i really want to be
4:41
rich
4:42
before before that you had no idea
4:44
that there is i other social classes
4:46
above yours
4:47
you couldn't figure it would be that much better but
4:49
it turns out it is that much better i mean
4:52
the people in this hotel they must have thought i was
4:54
the janitor because of the way that i trust i
4:56
just i don't think of as ever sit in some
4:58
someplace less of i do in beverly
5:00
hills but i still fucking love that
5:02
them over the actual like recording my
5:04
that are fine assists
5:07
good is gets is mean it was
5:09
you know it it was i was nervous but
5:12
that that the feedback that i got was was very
5:14
positive which is great and there's little
5:16
after party at the studio where people
5:18
sit around on ads on a patio and
5:20
and
5:21
it smells and i got to bill for a while his
5:23
image or things ah was
5:25
don't like the in person was
5:27
cool with joe
5:28
yeah he always tied with medicare
5:30
i say you can't say otherwise like you've used a dick you couldn't
5:32
be like yeah he's a huge day
5:33
no i i mean i think that he
5:35
probably is a dick sometimes because he's or it's guy and
5:37
who wouldn't be as he have that much money but my
5:39
experience with them as positive
5:41
i'd i do you really wanna show as i was impressed
5:43
if you didn't even seem at all last
5:46
nervous about it and i was surprised
5:48
he loses money racial slurs but i guess is s
5:51
yeah it is omar is still more
5:54
what racial slurs could i possibly said of he hasn't said
5:56
emily
5:56
the answer it was are either
5:58
you casually and so much time as or the wanted to say they
6:00
didn't say
6:01
there was one day i had a couple of a
6:03
good job find out that in that incident
6:06
but other than that this was so we recorded
6:08
the days at the that the
6:11
decision on robbie weekend ounce
6:13
and we were talking about we didn't focus on it that
6:15
much during the show but we did talk about this sort
6:17
of course we talked about and a worked as a politics
6:20
and one thing night thing don't think don't think although
6:22
i'm never going to watch the show so maybe i did said
6:24
blacked out the parts one thing
6:26
that i have been thinking about allied is that
6:30
you know i think there's a number people who listen to the show
6:32
there's another people a number of you've i follow on twitter
6:34
people unfriendly was in real life who
6:36
have stop voting for democrats
6:39
because of what they perceive as us over each
6:41
of weakness and this is something that like are obviously
6:44
we're both you and i are concerned about as we talk
6:46
about the should all the time but
6:48
when you look out the consequences of
6:51
voting for republicans this is what
6:53
you get and i just think like if
6:55
you're a feminist for instance who decides
6:57
that you're going to support the republican party
6:59
because kittens he brown jackson can't
7:02
define or won't define what a woman is
7:04
i think you're really shooting yourself in a foot and i think
7:07
you're shooting other people in the foot as well there
7:09
are bigger issues than the definition of
7:11
a woman i'm i'm definitely
7:13
concerned about his ideological creep
7:15
into all institutions into government
7:17
for sure but i'm more concerned
7:20
about women having the right to control their
7:22
own bodies women having a right to have an abortion and
7:24
there are lots of other cases that the supreme court has ruled
7:26
on just in the past
7:28
couple weeks that i that i are almost as
7:30
troubling as other as their own decisions
7:32
and so the person who
7:34
is very critical of the democratic party this
7:37
is a very good reminder this
7:39
is what republicans are i
7:41
think people need to be realistic about this unfortunately
7:43
we live in a two party system this is what we
7:45
have and so the second somehow
7:48
a third party games actual traction in this country
7:50
which i don't see happening anytime soon these
7:52
are our choices and i
7:55
think one is objectively worse
7:57
and the other and that's republicans if you're pro
7:59
israel her life by all means vote
8:01
republican like they stand for your values
8:03
but if you're if you're still a liberal and
8:06
you're choosing to vote for republicans
8:08
because of these issues the
8:11
think about it is think about what that
8:12
yeah i mean i'm obviously with
8:14
you i still don't think there's that many people abandoning
8:17
the party does like one of what world news i think we
8:19
are more likely to hear from them to know absolutely
8:21
nothing will lend a sympathetic ear i don't think it's a big
8:23
thing but here , addition to that i
8:25
also disagree every every instance
8:27
i'm aware about the state level of republican
8:29
like making a big stand against like wolf nurse
8:31
or herbs overeat on trans
8:34
good stuff they always make it worse it's
8:36
always is poorly written bills that will have
8:38
terrible collateral consequences it's in
8:40
florida now it's like unclear that day
8:42
teachers can even might be out or
8:44
have photos of their spouses other das
8:46
because the law was written so poorly this law that
8:48
all these lights crusading activists
8:50
types i james woolsey chris ruvo supported
8:53
it's just i find the idea
8:55
that you're gonna vote the other way me
8:57
what people have the privilege of generally for guys
8:59
you think they can the rubble to party supports your values
9:01
i can't tell you not to vote for them but if you're generally
9:04
liberal minded i i agree with you completely
9:07
as much they hate to say that
9:08
yeah chris river i think is actually conservative
9:10
he's he's a practicing catholic i think he is
9:12
does
9:13
there are you that has survived the idea that it
9:15
was it a like right
9:16
game when the is a fucking atheists
9:18
are used to be an atheist i don't know these delays
9:21
i don't think that the army navy they represent
9:23
his his newly discovered conservative values
9:26
but i don't think
9:26
with this idea that he's all there
9:29
, people who are like generally liberal and
9:31
word about ovaries what what what
9:33
what is like the track record with james woods
9:35
you were we should take him at his word that he really wants
9:38
white liberals and power when this is what he
9:40
supports i don't understand that answer
9:42
whenever i say
9:44
well
9:45
that
9:46
marcin was probably good
9:48
and i guess i can no longer hold it over that
9:50
i got to go on joe rogan kids as as i am now
9:53
some the most high profile so you've
9:55

16:02
mine is is a
16:03
the historian who's like basically
16:05
pretty critical of a lot of liberal
16:08
historicism liberal history she's
16:10
written critically of i'm
16:12
your the sixty ninth and project is a major critic
16:14
of that he's the guy he sort of states are
16:17
guys who thinks that are you
16:19
know the history got into politifact
16:22
in certain ways to politicize by the last and
16:25
so he wrote this article and we should say going
16:27
in same and seven crews had dot at
16:29
it in the past a butt heads with as we'll see
16:31
what will become a factor years but in
16:33
this article madness are his main
16:35
claim his quotes a t passage from
16:37
cruises doctoral dissertation on the history
16:40
of race relations in atlanta displays
16:42
uncanny similarities to and ninety ninety
16:44
six book on the same subjects by ronald
16:47
a spare a now retired historian
16:49
from georgia tech i'll just read
16:51
these two sentences and will also put them
16:53
in them so not so that you can them talbot easier
16:57
to from our ronald a spare
17:00
for many reasons atlanta appeared to be a good
17:02
city to study for such an analysis it
17:04
had analysis singular place singular the south as south as
17:06
a business center it is a leading new south
17:08
and sundance xanax it was a headquarters
17:10
city for number civil rights organizations and is
17:13
a center black higher education and
17:15
it is held itself as a city too busy
17:17
to hates one of progressive a choice
17:19
it's here's what cruz rights in the introduction
17:21
usda citizen let us not
17:23
near the logical said for such analysis it holds
17:25
a singular place as a political and economic leader
17:28
of the new south it served at the headquarters for
17:30
number of civil rights organizations it has
17:32
been a center blast higher education furthermore
17:34
atlanta sells itself as the city too busy
17:36
to hate one of progressive race roy's
17:39
ah by this also includes
17:41
like also visual caffeine the similarities and
17:43
made city's pretty compellingly and
17:46
explain to some of these passages in these slightly
17:48
altered form also made their way into cruises
17:50
but white flight and then
17:52
magna schools until as to other examples
17:54
of plagiarism via sort of inadequately
17:56
cited inadequately paraphrase
17:58
yeah so example that you read
17:59
there
18:01
that him the
18:03
is i don't know it it seems like it's obvious
18:05
laser them it would have been really easy just to say
18:08
as bear know it's yeah
18:10
blah blah like it doesn't hurt you at all
18:12
since to cite somebody said that was
18:14
not a bad thing
18:15
this is clearly the most indefensible want
18:17
because like it is true that in
18:20
, course of copyrighted a gorgeous a writer's own
18:22
sloppiness quotes can sometimes disappear
18:24
and footnotes can disappear so who's in exact
18:26
quotes that would be one possible
18:29
explanation but this case he clearly out a slight
18:31
flight and it's is baffling that he would do that
18:33
are in a doctoral dissertation so
18:36
part of what makes this a little bit spicy years i
18:39
guess it's inevitable given how much kevin cruz tweet
18:41
said there there is a tweet about this because
18:43
it's so i'm yeah it's entirety seventy
18:46
david clarke oozes like genuinely sassy
18:48
trump figure sheriff clarke crazy dude
18:50
steal his own are plagiarism scandal
18:52
and cabin cruz said on twitter twenty
18:54
seventy in response to think is andrew kaczynski
18:57
of cnn if you want someone
18:59
with more credentials to say it i'm a professor
19:01
this is textbook plagiarism we'd
19:03
expel plagiarism student who paul best so
19:06
i'm got him he noted his credentials because
19:08
there's no way anyone who doesn't have a phd
19:10
would be able to
19:11
what plagiarism and spread similar do
19:13
we need a professor to tell us that if someone
19:15
is lynched while the edward has been screened
19:17
at them that's racist assists
19:19
the been on the context yes
19:20
yeah a useful so far as
19:23
so yes madness and crews are not
19:26
house i made this is easter bunny has
19:28
with cruz ab he has a book against
19:30
the sixty nine project a whole but still
19:32
set a scathing review outlining what he saw
19:34
as flaws and careless scholarship in one of
19:36
cruises bucks there's
19:38
an article in plagiarism today which today which not
19:40
know that existed that's a great
19:42
you don't you don't have as
19:44
i don't have a subscription i will often
19:46
copy and paste articles from plagiarism today
19:48
just published some assess
19:51
the most so like there was there was
19:53
of people staying fairly quiet
19:56
on this is cruz really is like a liberal
19:58
darling and
19:59
the a pretty in a notable the sense of
20:02
him from a professor former history professor
20:04
named ld burnett's she was defended
20:06
by
20:08
fire actually after he she was fired and
20:10
sort of an academic freedom case will lead to ah
20:13
she wrote on media and article is
20:15
it plagiarism and see basically
20:17
says like sure those six sentences appeared
20:19
replace your eyes but she also does highlights
20:22
like magnus has ulterior motives are that
20:24
this is a politicized sight of there's a fair amount
20:26
of that what did he quits around on history twitter i'm
20:28
not saying everyone do this for there was a lot like well
20:30
it's reason well it's still magna like
20:32
you need to be careful here and i really
20:35
liked what sort of ah
20:37
matter grace is sad he was like either
20:40
the dude writer is rather don't understand why we have
20:42
to whether suddenly all this context it it it
20:44
seems pretty obvious to me that lights
20:46
if a conservative or right wing like
20:48
you still investigating their could there could still be an
20:50
explanation for this
20:51
i know i know he took an be earned
20:54
went to sleep and then wrote at while
20:56
he was an ambien his
20:57
he printed it out and
20:59
he didn't saved on a hard drive he knocked ah
21:02
here on to it's a certain words
21:04
were to lose slows down
21:06
any had to try to remember what they had said and
21:08
he'd axial entire for yes and
21:10
so on
21:11
via the quote brackets
21:13
on his computer was stuck
21:15
the dagger yes are not working so
21:17
i be my only point years like it seems pretty obvious
21:19
me that if is still magnus said
21:21
plagiarize six sentences
21:24
what mean it as a human nature i guess i'd wondered
21:26
does like treats her friends and reserve release i do
21:29
not think liberals would be calling for
21:31
contacts and forgiveness
21:33
and time is so magnus did this and
21:35
i don't think it's helpful you and i have both see
21:37
the saying words lights okay well
21:39
maybe the point is fair but they're bad
21:41
so we can accept their point that's not a intellectually
21:43
healthy way to go about the world right
21:45
in this happens all the time
21:48
and you know i think this happens with him all the time in
21:50
both of us have talked about our gripes with some of
21:52
his coverage in the past but friend since on
21:54
the we sponsor he was recovered in it and another
21:56
pair that another episode antidote
21:59
to that like long
21:59
the short a a person
22:02
who identified as a as a trans
22:04
woman was in a bathroom at a spa and some women complain
22:06
that she had her penis out and
22:08
eddie know broke the story that this person was a
22:11
had , record as a sex offender but
22:13
it's and you know and so people just dismiss it
22:16
and dismiss happens all the time it happens on both left
22:18
and the right you just saved this out later this person
22:20
as bad therefore we will not take anything
22:22
that they
22:23
seriously yeah and
22:25
it's it's it's not it's not good
22:27
because disease uses not to like clean of stuff
22:29
on your own side not to take opposing arguments seriously
22:32
it's of course incentives are do the opposite
22:34
here they're like they're all that investigated ted
22:36
cruz i jumped
22:39
it on twitter it's these are serious charges
22:41
at buried at full investigation he tweeted
22:43
tag instead are among others
22:45
see just we want to sitting us senator
22:47
tempted senator intervene to intervene your individual
22:49
plagiarism cases a private universe is absurd ted
22:51
cruz would do that for and definitely stitches
22:53
very concerned about plagiarism
22:55
the country say anything when molony of
22:57
plagiarism michelle obama sleep
22:58
and
23:00
jersey now studios actual basis
23:02
they i i couldn't find it scrolling back to
23:04
find the past week's worth of discourse
23:07
capital be of course about this one time
23:09
and you seems to be that the criticisms are
23:11
quote bad faith and quotes but what does
23:13
that matter what so madness or
23:15
says is either true or it isn't the conduct
23:17
alleges either okay results as
23:19
usual glacis is correct because you that you're
23:21
white dude bros assets himself ah
23:24
this whole like it's a bad faith criticisms
23:26
are a basset criticisms are by interstate
23:29
is pretty straightforward you seems to plagiarize and
23:31
thus plagiarism is usually frowned upon
23:33
within academia
23:35
you think that he should as
23:37
disclose like a little note
23:39
was in the tax i got a i fucking hate kevin
23:41
etti as
23:44
it is stories are you know that but i think like to sit have
23:46
been a footnotes every sentence
23:48
and then says a different me name is tali
23:51
chemicals pc asshole
23:53
lip tar
23:53
have you ever
23:56
had the opportunity to report on someone who
23:58
fucking
23:58
ah
23:59
a dinner as they
24:02
say i was i didn't know how to handle activators
24:04
lights no i'm not really but but
24:06
is tricky to know like what the
24:08
what do you have to disclose at what point do
24:11
this really disliked someone that you
24:13
so much that you to send report other schools
24:15
like in classical newspaper reporter if
24:17
you'd have like a brief squabble with someone five
24:20
years ago your as editor with your you can't read about them
24:22
yeah i did this once
24:24
so there's a reporter in seattle
24:26
named eric as he barnett who i didn't
24:28
have any problem with until she's
24:30
like started public
24:31
disparaging mates and
24:33
i wrote about her in
24:35
twenty nineteen because
24:37
she had written a piece for the atlantic
24:40
on and the peace
24:43
it basically a kid this became a major story
24:45
she basically accuse these these
24:47
like local conservative radio
24:49
host of giving l
24:52
seattle city how i a seattle city
24:54
council members so number on
24:56
air and as she put
24:58
in this this atlantic peace relentlessly
25:01
urging listeners to call her office
25:03
and , weekend this major local story because it was
25:05
a female city
25:07
councilmember being harassed because of these conservative
25:10
you know i think know figure to see barnett
25:12
them shock jocks
25:13
well it turns out that she likely didn't actually
25:15
listen to the red radio show where they apparently
25:18
did as because they never did this
25:20
anyway own they sued the atlantic
25:23
and her the atlantic
25:25
settled atlantic don't know how much they got
25:27
but i think they got wait
25:30
a bit of money and the scott and in the city
25:33
had to pay i think thirty thousand dollars
25:35
in legal fees so
25:37
i wrote about that i did not
25:39
disclose that i did don't like this woman
25:41
i guess maybe i should have and then after
25:44
i wrote the p c like wrote my bosses at the stranger
25:46
demanding all of these retractions within that
25:48
there's nothing sexy wrong about it
25:50
in that case she was sort of able to say like
25:52
look caterers or doesn't like me therefore
25:54
don't take this seriously which isn't
25:56
fair i mean to reporting itself is fine but
25:58
it it also this or that
25:59
the eiger one thing as interesting
26:02
and bad among many other things about be
26:04
on twitter is like you inevitably have run
26:06
ins with so many people and then flights
26:09
then flights know at some point obsessives you cover academic
26:11
controversies some point you might want to write about as
26:13
you need you to disclose two
26:16
years ago he called me a child and i was like
26:18
fuck you assess assess
26:20
and assess i it is a is you to dated
26:22
him with nude pictures of myself into bassa
26:25
doj has disclosed
26:26
there is a very very long
26:28
editor's note that the that did he and of almost
26:31
every article is that was required
26:33
i do think there are certain stories of people should stay
26:35
away from just because of via
26:37
through the appearance of i as i don't think that so magnussen
26:41
you know reporting on kevin cruises a legislators
26:43
nirvana when it's not even light
26:46
and so like reporters just literally
26:48
say look at this broke his so straightforward
26:50
yeah i know i don't think the annual conflict deaths
26:54
have you ever played right
26:54
i don't think that i have i mean i have i
26:56
have self plagiarize which i didn't realize
26:59
was a was like a saying in saw
27:01
jonah lehrer got ,
27:03
by friend of the pod michael moynihan
27:06
dissolute of a story though is recounted
27:08
in jon ronson look so you been publicly shamed
27:10
on where i had you know i'd written
27:13
something and then i like copied a paragraph
27:15
that i'd i'd written for something in and post and
27:17
and pasted it in another article and
27:20
once i realized that i realized apparently of a
27:23
major said i believe i have dot
27:26
i'm take enough of the internet
27:27
where
27:29
are you know
27:32
i'd never plagiarize anything one time
27:34
for score and seven years ago iced i considered
27:36
as really a farce y u
27:41
s of yourself
27:43
please read my amid today's the
27:45
progress of i don't think i simply drugs because
27:47
i'm partial or story i'm careful
27:50
i don't think i knew what a beer was vm careful
27:52
been considered such as i said blah
27:54
blah blah
27:54
what a lot only series i the reason
27:57
that i sell plagiarize was like at the time
27:59
i were to place where i had multiple
28:01
deadlines a day and at some point it was is like i
28:03
i have written this thing i'm going to do this
28:06
still apologies
28:07
a lot of bad journalism comes from multiple
28:09
deadlines a day it's not yeah
28:11
added not even laziness it's just
28:13
like a straight up lack of time
28:15
yeah
28:17
i did you know cabin cruiser
28:19
plagiarism or slavery or segregation whites
28:21
what did because his first tweeted living coming
28:23
back i hope it's hey there journalists
28:25
hey there tweezers
28:28
year ah it's funny though
28:30
as a richer is what happens i assume
28:32
he's probably being investigated by his
28:34
publishers university or both i
28:37
i don't think that that should
28:39
a internal i
28:41
think one instance of lungs or plagiarism chefs
28:43
and forgiveness i say that about a lot of things but i advise
28:45
you don't want his career ruined about it over at even
28:48
as he if this is it stirs as people point out
28:50
now people are going to go through all his work and dot they
28:52
usually people who played your eyes and it
28:54
sounds like he like deathly plagiarize was there
28:56
some other questionable south probably
28:59
be more but if there isn't more i i i hope his
29:01
career would be ruined over this assumes not
29:03
right
29:03
or when it comes back they begin i joined
29:05
at that discord that a pleasure
29:07
is ryan broderick house with a bunch of other tech
29:09
reporter
29:10
can't wait i'm really looking for the i'm doubling and pay for
29:12
access to it yeah for sure the
29:14
read you have siblings
29:16
the
29:17
we're introducing of the a little bit new
29:19
the swedes are basically once in a
29:21
while we're going to tell you about
29:23
a podcast we really like and then
29:25
that podcast will tell their listeners about assets
29:27
as like a little reciprocal audience
29:29
everything were being
29:31
like very strict about this were really
29:33
only doing it for podcast and at least one of us
29:36
are has was into and enjoyed for quite
29:38
some time so this week i
29:40
won't say about the slate political gov that's the
29:42
slate political gap as can help you sort
29:44
through the layers of nuance in the news
29:46
who's john dickerson emily basil
29:48
on indebted plots don't always agree with one
29:51
another but did you always deliver thoughtful debate
29:53
with contacts and analysis they navigate
29:55
our current unstable political frame and they
29:57
do so with the kind of informal a rubber discussion
30:00
like what journalists share after
30:01
hours over drinks subscribe to sleep political
30:03
death has for the fireworks the debates ever
30:05
talked of chatter wherever you get your podcasts
30:08
ah i a i really liked his
30:10
part as i was a doozy regular it's be basil
30:12
on yeah now's a good time to get into basil
30:15
because her piece on the transcripts was
30:17
so good and see wait a minute
30:19
letters or numbers one
30:20
the see
30:22
el que they
30:24
do at the end of every episode the talk about what they're dirty
30:26
you're going to drink which drink really like is ours
30:28
grazes you know what gets me through the day from
30:31
nine am are so we should is a lie to me with like hallucinogenic

31:44
a woman who depending on you ask may be
31:46
a hero or maybe a con artist
31:49
jesse have you heard of rebecca jones
31:51
i vaguely remember that
31:53
see heroically rescued
31:56
america from cooks
31:59
current of our sad
31:59
that
32:00
the centers vomited out into the public discourse
32:02
is that the more or less a storyline
32:04
yeah so something like that so
32:06
, a geographer and a data scientist who
32:08
was working with the florida department of health's
32:10
cove and nineteen dashboard at the beginning of the pandemic
32:13
the dashboard is basically an online tracking program
32:15
for covert cases i'm and then it may
32:17
twenty twenty she was fired
32:19
by the florida department of health for what
32:21
jones claimed was a refusal to manipulate
32:24
the states raw cove and nineteen data so
32:26
that it would look like the states reopening
32:28
plan was more effective than it actually was
32:31
here's how she put it she said that she
32:33
was asked to quote manually change
32:35
data to drum up support for the plan to reopen
32:38
and she tweeted that florida as deputy
32:41
secretary for health quote told
32:43
me quote delete cases and deaths she
32:45
later deleted that tweet and tweeted
32:48
quote the leading death was never something
32:50
was never out to do no i've never claimed that
32:52
it was and then she deleted that one to
32:54
this sort of in
32:55
susanna like literally month
32:58
or racing dust for political purposes
33:00
and rhonda santas ah you know die
33:02
with national political ambitions who are
33:04
his still corporate policies were very
33:08
i want to a liberal in the sense that there weren't many
33:10
but there were served as they were lax
33:12
yes right so this would have been leaders
33:14
this was considered like an incredibly
33:16
massive bombshell scandal
33:18
absolutely and she was received this
33:20
massive wave of positive media coverage
33:23
and support for her active hashtag resistance
33:26
npr covered this extensively and sympathetically
33:28
a as in many other outlets the basic
33:31
story was that jones claimed
33:33
that she was fired for being a whistleblower
33:35
while rhonda sentences office
33:37
claim that she was fired for insubordination
33:39
and i imagine that most readers hearing
33:41
about this on npr reading about in the times
33:43
or washing it on cnn would assume
33:46
that the santas his office was the one that was lying
33:48
do you think that's the correct assumption yeah or a
33:50
fair assumption yeah yeah yeah
33:53
who's more likely to be lying this random
33:55
woman who you've never heard of until now or ron
33:57
desantis
33:59
so
33:59
after she was fired she started her own
34:02
competing dashboard she also filed a
34:04
whistleblower complete against the states and
34:06
so in december twenty twenty so six months later
34:08
six months of her being lauded as a hero
34:11
armed , enforcement rated her home
34:13
and took her computer and order to find
34:15
out if she was the person
34:17
who sent a message to estate planning
34:19
group on an emergency alert platform
34:21
that urged people to speak out about
34:24
how flora was refined decoded so
34:26
this was a message that went out like
34:28
to a specific group of people using
34:30
a some an emergency alert platform and it said
34:34
the time to speak out before another seventeen
34:36
thousand people are dead you know this is wrong
34:38
you don't have to be a part of this beer hero
34:40
speak out before it's too late so
34:43
state officials claim that the message was
34:45
traced to an ip address associated with
34:47
her a cow she denies sending it
34:49
the which i say okay sure
34:52
the
34:53
she also posted video of this raid
34:56
and this was of course met with overwhelming
34:58
outrage or against the sadness and support
35:00
for her she was named one of fortune
35:02
magazine's forty under forty and she was awarded
35:05
the forbes technology person of the year
35:07
a twitter lawyer ron philip
35:09
kalki he resigned from some
35:11
state commission in support of her
35:14
he posted his resignation letter on twitter and
35:16
it reads in part i have been increasingly alarmed
35:18
by governors response of the cub and nineteen pandemic
35:21
i believe this policy of the state towards cove
35:23
it is reckless and irresponsible i remained
35:25
in my position because health policy was
35:27
unrelated to my job at the on
35:29
the j and see which is this a judicial circuit
35:32
thing that he was on however
35:34
recent events regarding public access
35:36
to truthful data on the pandemic in the specific
35:38
treatment of rebecca jones has now made the
35:40
issue illegal one rather than just medical though
35:44
very brave of him earn jones
35:46
wrote in our that about this in the miami herald
35:48
here's a quote from that never let the
35:50
fear of retaliation temper your desire
35:52
to be a good honest person i
35:54
will continue to speak truth to power to provide
35:57
critical information on toronto virus and environmental
35:59
issues and never allow a man so
36:01
devoid of empathy and humanity sounds me
36:04
and of course that man was round isn't as
36:06
so a display she's really
36:09
considered really hero by many people
36:11
including herself and
36:13
after the rage the starts he starts fund me for her legal
36:15
does the fence at this point three
36:17
there were three hundred and twenty five thousand dollars she had another
36:19
go for me that i was unable to find that also
36:22
raise apparently and astronomical amount of money then
36:25
things started to fall apart much
36:27
support as jones got from the very
36:30
beginning some people were skeptical of
36:32
her especially on the race than you are times
36:34
that a good job covering this physical
36:36
from one of their story miss jones
36:38
has not been universally embrace as a whistle blower
36:41
some critics have dismissed her lack of public
36:43
health training others have been made uncomfortable
36:45
by the attention she has sought sometimes tagging
36:48
late night host stephen colbert for example
36:50
in her twitter post she says it it isn't
36:52
a gag meant to bring levity to her dog
36:54
social media feed her dash for sure
36:56
the higher total number of cases in the state's official
36:58
records because it includes number a positive
37:00
antibodies us something the department of health and
37:02
alcide epidemiologists do not recommend
37:05
miss jones has reactive defensively to some
37:07
of their criticism on twitter and then
37:10
there's also this paragraph from that same time
37:12
space search warrant
37:14
served as we did not represent miss jones
37:16
first brush with the law she faced
37:18
a number of criminal charges and florida including
37:21
criminal mischief in violation of a domestic
37:23
violence ejection all involving
37:25
a relationship with one of her former students
37:27
when she was a graduate assistant at florida state
37:30
university none of them resulted
37:32
in conviction but last year policy prosecutors
37:34
charged miss charged miss was
37:35
i was talking the man
37:37
okay so much story
37:40
itself is probably learned enough for its own
37:42
episode but basically and twenty nineteen
37:44
she was charged with stalking and ex boyfriends
37:47
this is covered by the gainesville florida
37:49
npr out the outlet they reported
37:52
that she published a sixty eight page
37:54
documents online discussing
37:56
the private details of her relationship
37:58
with his former boyfriend student and
38:01
quote including explicit tax and nude
38:03
photographs the , also
38:05
reported that they had sex in a classroom
38:08
and twenty seventeen when she was a
38:10
mere a professor of for the state or
38:12
that's what he told police she was fired
38:14
from the university after threatening to give
38:16
his roommate a failing grade of
38:18
for retell as retaliation and
38:21
then join your yeah so
38:23
apparently this was a six month long affair
38:26
and she is the
38:27
there of her child
38:28
that sounds pretty bad yeah here's a quote
38:31
from the denzel npr station
38:33
peace offering to police jones
38:35
wrote in emails to the man quote you're
38:37
going to be famous we're going to destroy each
38:39
other this is never going to end
38:41
doesn't sound like a great i'm
38:43
no environmental i said but she doesn't sell it
38:45
a great person
38:46
okay this was not actually her first arrest
38:49
and twenty sixteen she was working
38:51
at louisiana state university and
38:53
she was arrested after she refused to leave
38:55
campus and then resisted arrest
38:57
and assaulted a police officer she
39:00
, apparently order to leave campus by human
39:02
resources i'm thinking she was
39:04
fired by ls you but i can confirm
39:07
that okay yeah she's
39:09
yeah character i don't know if she's a person would maybe
39:11
we should just like do a little bit of due diligence
39:13
i'm for we raise this evil up as heroes
39:16
okay so back to twenty twenty
39:18
the local national media started to look more
39:21
deeply into this case and basically everything
39:23
fell apart
39:24
her former colleague started speaking up and saying
39:26
basically this isn't true for does dashboard
39:29
is basically on par with every other states and
39:31
are a lot of holes in concert inconsistency
39:33
is in her story and the most
39:35
thorough tix own came from the national news
39:38
charles koch he wrote this and made twenty
39:40
made twenty he reported that
39:42
right before she was fired there was an internal
39:44
complaint by her supervisor because
39:46
among other things she was publishing
39:49
data from the das wird and talking to the press
39:51
without permission and she's
39:53
a state employee right
39:54
the are you care absolutely can do that
39:56
it like if you're going to do it
39:58
fucking leaks and league some documents whenever
40:00
and hydra trucks i'm so after
40:02
she did this her always changed basically
40:05
she was told was told working on the cover dashboard
40:08
and then the next day she explicitly
40:10
violated this instruction and actually
40:13
crash the dashboard by creating a
40:15
new account for herself and then moving a
40:17
ton of data into it she didn't
40:19
tell anyone that she did this so while
40:21
the i t department was busy trying to
40:23
figure out what like what the fuck happened
40:25
to their dashboard she locked out
40:27
the only other department of health employee
40:29
with full administrative access to the dashboard
40:32
she locked amount of his account
40:34
this is already suspicious that's my take
40:36
okay so
40:38
then it's when they figured out what
40:40
was what was happening and ordered her to restore
40:42
the skies access she instead
40:45
of like doing what she was told she
40:47
gave him a lower administrative access
40:49
to this to the say so she remained
40:51
the only person with full access to it she
40:54
told the department this is because of quote concert
40:56
security concerns for some reason
40:59
they did not fire her immediately and
41:01
then a few days later she sent out a mass
41:04
email to everyone who use the dashboard
41:06
including people outside of that apartments
41:08
saying that her access had been removed because
41:10
she refused to manipulate data and
41:12
so then the press been picked up a story and she
41:14
was fired three days after
41:15
so she said she was
41:18
fired for selling for refusing
41:20
to manipulate data but right before she was fired
41:22
the resists she's literally locking one
41:25
of her colleagues out of the account that he should have
41:27
access or say yes
41:28
so charles koch he says
41:30
that she quotes single handedly managed
41:33
to convince millions of americans that gov
41:35
rhonda santas had been fudging the states coburn
41:37
nineteen data and he appears to be
41:39
right about this the media who
41:41
publish her claims without doing any sort
41:43
of due diligence are definitely
41:46
to blame for this misperception but she
41:48
herself like she started a conspiracy theory
41:50
and then she profited off of it
41:53
so around the same time of the as this
41:55
she also filed also restraining order
41:57
against christina push on who is the
42:00
winner is now gov to santa says press
42:02
secretary after push all wrote
42:04
a blog post called the floor takeover
42:06
nineteen whistleblower is a big lie
42:09
then she falsely claim that push all violated
42:11
the restraining order then
42:13
as the never ends in
42:16
june twenty twenty one and she was
42:18
suspended from twitter for allegedly
42:20
buying followers and she's still suspended
42:22
from twitter today okay
42:24
sort of the biggest crime of all
42:26
right okay so let's
42:28
fast forward to may have twenty
42:30
twenty do then the
42:32
florida office of the inspector general
42:34
released it's report based on her whistleblower
42:37
complaints and basically found that all
42:39
of her claims were unfounded so
42:42
somehow managed to spin as as vindication
42:44
and use it in her fundraising campaigns so
42:46
in one of her go funny of these she wrote if
42:49
you're like a massive wait taken off of me to be
42:51
vindicated finally after all this time all
42:53
the efforts by the state to the same mean smear
42:55
me and the failed attempts to discredit me with baseless
42:58
claims have finally been been proven false
43:01
okay so by this time the
43:03
media coverage has almost entirely
43:05
shifted but shifted also noticed that many
43:08
of the very outlets i gave her glowing
43:10
coverage glowing the beginning of this basically didn't
43:12
report on the office the office inspector
43:15
general findings at all and a few
43:17
outlets have actually stuck by their narrative for
43:19
instance daily coast which reported quote
43:22
the report which found rebecca told the truth
43:24
about the state ordering her to hide and delete data
43:26
from public access to contended that's
43:28
not a crime has been hailed as a victory and jones
43:30
case according to legalize respects metro
43:32
it's just like that's not even second
43:34
that all way to therefore didn't find
43:36
that she does she told the truth about bs
43:38
know i'm confused
43:40
they did go for just didn't find apple in the south are
43:42
just reports the opposite
43:43
it will , to leave you can look at
43:45
the report's authors like some point where it's a little bit
43:47
fuzzy butler's like for were like
43:49
for claims and each one is
43:51
they systematically knockdown each one
43:53
there's one that was like maybe neutral but
43:56
yeah like very clear that she was lying again
43:59
lessing rebecca jones is now
44:01
running for congress against my gates jesse
44:03
here's a hypothetical for you you live in florida
44:06
you have two options
44:07
i live in florida throw myself
44:09
the know that it on how since you have
44:11
two options matt gates or rebecca
44:13
jones video for throwing yourself
44:15
in the ocean is on the answer
44:20
wow that's a solo i would you
44:22
rather jones
44:24
because you just forget about horrible people and ideologically
44:27
adversity zones where well as it ever since
44:30
trump versa
44:30
yeah yeah that's that's tough
44:32
when i guess i would have to say jones
44:35
to
44:37
that we go it be really fucking hard i don't
44:39
know i don't know who's a little worse person
44:41
the ocean learn the ocean causes
44:43
wonderful sharks and be over so quickly
44:45
forty years on there is enough forty five
44:47
in my could say was okay
44:50
so what does this tell us jesse
44:52
well the ,
44:54
is bad a lot of media is bad there's
44:56
a search for it's easy heroes
44:58
and villains and especially anything involving
45:00
a hot button issue like this at all the hop i diseases
45:03
adults rhonda scientists who liberals eight
45:05
or i'm i'm definitely said it had current
45:07
a virus it had that fight between blue and red
45:09
say to run outta outta
45:12
heard a virus had a lack of due diligence
45:14
there's not really much for tennessee to look into these
45:16
folks you pop up as like resistance heroes
45:18
i think that's really the made lots of years like the resistance
45:20
heroes more off
45:23
smarter than you think they have some griffey
45:25
elements to them
45:26
yeah it sort of reminded me of the case of my
45:28
glove a naughty who was like
45:30
lauded as lauded hero as a sort of resistance hero
45:32
resistance can't even remember why display something to do
45:34
with trump vivid fucking crook
45:36
yeah this is like any any
45:38
time there's time some sort of mass panic
45:41
or outrage or outrage anger that's
45:43
when grifters can really do that worse because people
45:45
are like are mostly around and are searching for
45:48
searching for and they're scared and know it sounds
45:50
really crappy was this woman did based on what your
45:52
time
45:52
yeah it's reddit i do think it's unfortunate
45:55
that a lot of these outlets that gave
45:57
her basically gg glowing profiles just
46:00
totally ignored the fact that they were basically kind
46:02
i don't think any of her awards subject
46:04
really crazy maybe
46:06
big of a couple of like my
46:08
one in particular me to taste where there was
46:11
there a a of coverage when the dude was
46:13
called out on twitter and then all this new
46:15
evidence came out and no one's awesome revisit
46:17
which is why didn't he says us sooner dlc
46:19
a
46:19
indeed signore ones closest
46:22
, a edison yours is like well
46:24
this idea get inside minutes some point but basically
46:26
he was accused of whites do something
46:28
at a car at convention and
46:32
and many months and a lawsuit and league
46:34
text messages later this woman just was
46:36
lot she based on my interpreters just
46:38
like total wire but none of the outlets
46:40
who are like all and siniora italy the city
46:42
mans seem to have got
46:45
back and follow up with
46:47
these new details that i see basically
46:49
exculpate i'm i'm so
46:52
it's a problem
46:53
have you ever had to do anything
46:55
like that some like major correction on a story
46:57
there was one where can
47:00
, was a grim the details it was some sort of social
47:02
science controversy and i
47:04
was sufficiently convinced sufficiently
47:06
messed it up that i basically did rewrote
47:08
the whole thing and posted like
47:10
the police was in unlike anything quarter or trans
47:13
or it's like that and posted like a me a copper
47:15
and i it's included a link to a screenshot
47:17
of the old story it's just so people
47:19
could like see what i'd
47:22
done wrong and what i'd done by yeah that was the
47:24
worse when i was a color the details it was not
47:26
on a so sexy subject would i
47:28
nothing like this i don't think
47:30
i mean there was i was kind
47:32
one time when i worked at rest i was conned
47:35
by somebody who is suing some sort of like trolling
47:37
performance or who a
47:39
he said that he was a like a real
47:42
estate agent who is specializing
47:45
in homes that like slaughter homes that would
47:47
be ocean front
47:50
because of climate change and
47:52
i did like blink i looked at his leg day
47:55
and i talked to him on the phone i did like of
47:57
a few things to verify that he was real
47:59
that he wasn't on so that was
48:02
pretty embarrassing and i think things like that
48:05
are frankly for a reporter especially
48:07
if it's something sort of inconsequential are actually pretty
48:09
it's it's good it's because it it
48:12
makes you paranoid it makes a careful of
48:14
they should be very i'm like before
48:16

48:19
hard to when you pray that i've gotten details
48:21
wrong have gotten the big picture wrong constantly
