8:34
as the days the days so
8:36
i have so much to catch up with you on but
8:39
since we have limited time on going to jump right
8:41
into your book because i feel like that's
8:43
actually the best way to get to know you
8:45
are because the character
8:48
the novella
8:49
i'm going to say it's you but it's
8:52
a guy
8:53
your age the middle aged white guy
8:55
yeah living
8:57
, you live yeah the time and are
9:00
we don't live where it as live where i live right
9:05
doing what you were doing during the pandemic
9:07
yeah look at look
9:12
, wrote a novel fucking
9:14
awesome to not was eyes your life because you
9:16
can add it up the shit you not like create
9:19
the shit you do like or maybe even exaggerate
9:21
your bed boys whatever it's fun right
9:23
it's but as the art for it i mean
9:26
it think was a neil simon is said
9:29
who's as what's autobiography work and he said
9:32
it's all autobiography even the parts i make
9:34
up as
9:38
yeah that's yeah that's way i see i made it
9:40
all gets filtered through whatever consciousness
9:42
i haven't and when i when i land
9:44
on a character
9:45
even though he looks resembles mean all that
9:47
you know i get the slant of it and then i'm off
9:50
i'm off and running when i'm writing that way so
9:52
it isn't it isn't me you know and and
9:54
and the amazing thing about the process of writing
9:56
is
9:57
you come to a day after day after day and your
9:59
different
9:59
person i'm going on ask as a front of but i'm
10:02
in a different first every
10:04
day i sit down with a different consciousness
10:07
and away and it and it's and it's kind of bills
10:09
like a sedimentation the
10:11
way and it becomes it's other
10:13
thing and it's not me and away even though it
10:15
came from you rewrite hi
10:18
there
10:24
were such you're not unreasonable questions
10:26
not at all so many artists and writers
10:28
young written i i i revise
10:30
i
10:35
i like i like
10:38
to get a very very early when i'm writing
10:40
i a because i as it's not
10:42
high but i feel like if you're coming out of sleep
10:45
you're not quite him that causes rounds
10:47
others are trailing
10:49
trailing are unconscious as with your little myself
10:51
for thirty five in the morning little coffee
10:54
am i go her coffee is your
10:56
huh no no that's that's just
10:58
to get up and go about that
11:04
what was your own i was giving him more my autobiographer
11:06
i will watch
11:08
, it might gets you high mean you said you revise
11:11
because i have the same thing i've said this before i
11:13
have like a bicameral mind yet
11:15
is my congress
11:20
i have this stuff sobers got
11:22
the gab of i well at the sober
11:24
and then the stone him to come together
11:27
on riotous lace right when they both agree
11:29
right will sign
11:34
though you're talking about join
11:38
james's by camel mind river the know
11:41
you be very interesting moment is probably this and i'm
11:43
it is he says if says if have
11:45
a strong so forgive me but he basically says
11:47
that god as we have come the know it is
11:49
actually one half of our brain talking to
11:51
the other half and barbara
11:52
that we mistook it for forgot but
11:55
anyway be that as a nato i i
11:59
think that's good
11:59
a lot of credit to people who don't even
12:02
have have
12:06
the hallway that was enough to
12:10
answer your question dummies i'm a big
12:13
fan of fan gum is there a lot of gumming up
12:15
am into their nostalgic they aren't using
12:17
aren't six year old and mass
12:21
right and the other thing about vitamins thing vitamins now
12:23
they put bottom center
12:30
what i love my also when i
12:32
wrote my novel is is your omniscient
12:35
you're not that way and any other art form real
12:38
can't be that animal a novel right
12:40
into the the on the character was thinking
12:42
this yes many wanted to do this either
12:45
it's so much fun you have to be omniscient
12:47
that's godlike guess it is godlike right
12:50
and i think that the that will you point out in
12:52
the same thing which is is what is why it's hard
12:54
to make a good book into a
12:56
good movie it's often easier to make
12:58
a bad book and target movie rights the
13:01
plot oriented but that omniscient
13:03
that yeah isis is very difficult to get
13:05
road just on flat screen for
13:08
the thing is not fun about novels
13:10
is that no one reads anymore i
13:13
mean we're going to sell some here at why i
13:16
sat on my i remember i remember i my
13:18
publisher and i said how do we do the first way
13:20
can is great and was like fantastic
13:22
oh what are we so is like
13:24
four thousand copies around my
13:28
i mean i must have bought two thousand
13:30
about record
13:39
i heard me from doing it again
13:41
was just like so few people can see
13:43
it as liberating them because that's
13:46
just free who is
13:50
, you're doing for years math and
13:52
four thousand friends as a while
13:56
that is going to jump to find out of
13:58
attempted out of but
14:00
and it's a good book you know and i'll i love
14:02
it i think is very close to make the novella
14:05
because in a in a land where people don't read
14:07
a least they're going oh that means short
14:09
yes i know that and sorts the i
14:12
like short painless
14:15
it is as is how advertise it not homework
14:20
it reminded me of the debussy eyes wide
14:22
shut
14:23
i don't see it a long time we are minor that's a nobel
14:25
the the yet another never read the book
14:28
the rebel i haven't read that book shame
14:33
for you know the movie would ya know those yeah
14:35
i guess when i was thinking of it and okay novella
14:37
the within an hour and it's kind of like yours
14:40
in that when the guy leaves his apartment
14:42
in new york yeah yeah don't know
14:44
what's real and what's not right right
14:46
by the so this tom cruise goes out of the house
14:49
by the like a seat dreaming this yes
14:51
well i mean i saw that and i think we all
14:53
share this aside from the
14:55
autobiographical for me but during coven
14:58
were ingesting the world to our
15:00
screens as we do now and
15:02
we were seeing these images of what was happening
15:05
in the world and was very intense but
15:07
we had no contact with the outside world as we
15:09
were inside and there was incensed when
15:11
you went outside
15:13
they didn't know what to expect anymore right in your
15:15
world yeah and that el al hasn't
15:17
happened in our lifetimes that's why
15:19
it was such a good i thought concede to write
15:21
a novel around there so
15:23
wow lose you paradigm
15:26
i just have to ask you about your
15:28
franchise because i know you probably
15:30
don't think of yourself as a guy you as a franchise
15:32
what locker i
15:38
just feel like your franchise which
15:40
franchise great to have to have and yours is
15:42
a great when because it was a great show him
15:45
he did it in the nineties
15:46
rebooted it few
15:49
years ago get has been to movies
15:52
you're gonna do it again and you should
15:54
do it again read cricketers
15:59
you're
16:02
right it is and it's ever more relevant
16:05
flows another day that goes by i don't read
16:07
about some now it's congress
16:09
looking into it the pentagon's looking into whether
16:11
they're all saying
16:13
now what they call them on identified aerial
16:15
phenomenon because you fo wasn't
16:18
good guess the
16:20
rebranding why it's the same fucking
16:22
thing fucking ever tell you my you my of
16:24
the of us now you might like this and
16:26
i know we're at a time right now
16:30
it seems to me do my brother you
16:32
know the phenomenon like ship of fools back back
16:35
and medieval times i didn't really have prisons belt
16:37
or insane a sounds builds his before that
16:39
no i didn't read up on so rough idea
16:43
was like sometimes they would take their criminal offenders
16:46
are there and same people put him on a ship and send
16:48
them out like we don't want to deal with you anymore put
16:51
your i'm a high seas and and whoa be
16:53
to you if you come upon the ship the
16:55
pool that's what ship of fools is when you
16:57
harm that so i think because
17:00
in people that have dealings with aliens that
17:02
we're in that tell us stories usually
17:04
they get their cheap thrill
17:06
their innocence probe so
17:09
so my my is that
17:11
some alien some advanced alien civilization
17:14
has gotten fed up with
17:16
their sex offenders in their dentists
17:26
and i know what i'm on an intergalactic
17:28
ship sentiment into the great see of the beyond
17:31
of the galaxies and sometimes they come around
17:36
for it's just a dentist
17:38
and it's a very deep cabot
17:47
perhaps or anatomies are different from ours and
17:49
they get confused well we know what they look like they'll
17:52
do the same when people you know
17:54
what so i dunno but when navy
17:56
pilots yeah are saying i
17:58
can't tell you what this
17:59
anna neil de grasse tyson was here
18:02
integration
18:03
most respected i am
18:05
no think i will never know what i would never
18:07
know i don't have that size brand okay
18:10
so he poo poo the idea that it's aliens
18:12
it of you yes he said why did they just reveal
18:14
themselves to navy pilots well it took me a
18:16
year near the grass but i figured out what
18:19
is it
18:20
i forgot because
18:24
, who they are worried about might be opposing
18:26
them if they're chasing us to
18:29
attack whatever give whatever shit about
18:31
somebody guy input pr isn't going to fire
18:33
a squirrel gun at them so i dare say
18:36
these are say people they might have to go against
18:38
the seeing what they can do what they can
18:40
see that's why they reveal themselves they reveal
18:42
pilot
19:05
the author of tk news on sub stack
19:07
never miss it and author of hate and
19:09
why today's media makes us despise
19:11
one another matt taibbi that
19:16
outta here com ,
19:19
own right she's a
19:21
democratic strategist number of the new york
19:23
times bestselling them or any given tuesday
19:25
any given love story list smith
19:34
i'm in kansas there and model
19:37
i i i i think a big question
19:40
we've been wondering about has been
19:42
answered this week in kansas biggest people
19:44
were wondering after the supreme court
19:47
read or oh vs way
19:49
this be a big motivator
19:51
the polls connor said now
19:54
polls are bullshit you know people lie
19:57
for them for questions raised whatever
19:59
the
20:00
this is how they indicate what they really care
20:02
about can just you could not take a more
20:04
perfect stay to test
20:07
they were
20:08
well the democrats come out
20:11
motivated by getting rid of wrote not
20:13
going to democrats the republicans to
20:20
i voted democrat for having an affair
20:23
s in the mid term elections
20:25
i think this is a deal change or i think this
20:27
is one soda going to the padres i
20:29
do i think it changes everything i
20:31
think now the democrats could win
20:33
this election
20:34
i'm so i agree with you
20:36
it's if we'd have this conversation
20:39
two months ago i would've
20:41
told you democrats are probably going to
20:43
get creamed november dobbs
20:45
does change everything and i it changes
20:48
in two ways we all
20:50
know that there are there are of democrats are disillusioned
20:53
much obeida and he didn't cancel all
20:55
of their student loans he didn't do everything
20:58
that they wanted and they were going to sit
21:00
on their ashes in november and not
21:02
vote for him but they can't do that anymore
21:05
now that this is on the ballot so
21:07
that's one the second thing is
21:09
i'm their these voters i like to call
21:13
biden young canberra hear that ribery
21:16
motors voted for bite and then
21:18
voted for young can serve out of the
21:20
of dissatisfaction because inflation
21:22
young when in whatever the kids who don't
21:24
not and going young kids
21:26
talk and msnbc each other
21:28
sources sorrow
21:32
i'm sorry i'm i'm i'm a junkie
21:34
rights it's they in virginia
21:36
governor's race you after buying
21:38
one by ten points young can
21:40
be
21:41
public in iraq is very well in in virginia
21:44
is that a lot of those suburban
21:46
voters who had or
21:48
story swing voters on
21:50
who went from biden to
21:53
the on can the republican in virginia
21:56
ah
21:56
what don't insult them afterwards
21:59
oh who
22:02
am i thought democrats want to be in
22:09
your point
22:10
the am i do not think
22:12
that they will vote for republicans one
22:14
abortion it on
22:15
wow that's what i was saying so i'm
22:18
, if
22:20
is if know don't apologize in and running
22:22
routes running want to read gavin newsom
22:24
the you write about this to newsome in descent
22:27
as i feel like florida
22:29
then
22:30
california crystallize
22:32
the two sides of america and and man
22:35
is so interesting republican freedom
22:37
right always their brand but now
22:40
you know abortion rights taking
22:42
away our freedom
22:44
a new ballgame with that so
22:46
this is an ad that our governor got
22:48
a new some ran in florida he said freedoms
22:50
under attack in your state
22:53
gavin newsom of california dressing
22:56
florida voters your republican
22:58
leaders they're banning books making
23:00
it harder to vote restricting speech in
23:02
classrooms even criminalizing
23:04
women i urge all florida joined the fight
23:06
stories in california we still believe
23:08
in freedom this is so opposite
23:11
what they used to do don't
23:18
let them take your freedom so
23:20
i guess my question is who's got
23:22
the freedom fight now cause i consider
23:24
republican saying well we stand up for your right
23:26
to have your guns we aren't covered
23:29
bullshit mandates you know you have your freedom
23:31
to be to i certainly don't
23:33
always feel free in this state i
23:35
must say and i have felt free or in
23:37
florida but who wins the freedom
23:40
battle right now where you think the first
23:42
war on carbon old school liberal so
23:44
i think if you don't believe in freedom
23:46
for the people you really dislike you
23:49
probably don't believe in in at all how
23:58
do have been have been bad
23:59
that in the in recent election
24:02
cycles and and i in a you see
24:04
the you see this with the room very rare restrict
24:06
a republican laws that are being passed is
24:09
how north carolina below that would
24:11
have required people to report kids for
24:13
showing signs of gender nonconformity
24:15
i mean that's that's a really scary bill
24:18
or a button on the democratic side you have
24:20
all this internet censorship the
24:22
state of california has three hundred ninety
24:24
six thousand regulations which is a one
24:26
hundred thousand more than any other state
24:29
so i don't like i'm i'm think either
24:31
party has a particular like stranglehold
24:34
on freedom i victor they're both week on
24:36
this issue
24:37
our ended his where i disagree
24:39
i do it again the democrats for going
24:41
to november as the party of freedom because
24:44
democrats are standing up for the freedom
24:46
of women to the
24:47
hop harder for him
24:51
for young people
24:54
the freedom of people to marry
24:56
who they want
24:58
and free
25:00
you know they can send their kids to school
25:03
without the fear of them being shot and
25:06
on n n n n
25:08
since we're going to see your
25:11
point about about the job he argued
25:13
about freedom as they're like oh my god
25:15
big government they're making us were mass
25:17
oh the temerity all this to
25:20
people who said okay we want small
25:22
government now they want
25:25
to make the most private healthcare
25:27
decisions for women they want to put
25:29
my pants when the only g would
25:32
like an exam room with women who
25:34
when their feet
25:35
sir i'm glad an american
25:42
private healthcare decisions be careful
25:44
with that phrase i read in the front page
25:46
the new york times is week there is a new voting
25:48
block a new constituency
25:51
the mandate
25:53
the mostly parents
25:55
these are people who are not gonna vote based
25:57
on republican or democrat
25:59
vote based on coven policy
26:02
i'm one of them and i don't even have kids
26:05
you know it's a medical
26:07
issue
26:08
i do not want to be dictated there
26:10
is no thus science
26:12
especially in medical science you
26:15
can recommend whatever you like but i must
26:17
insist you don't insist how
26:19
i handled my health i
26:22
never was obama
26:27
obama hundred if you're like you're
26:29
doctor your can keep your doctor well i
26:31
didn't i do and my
26:33
daughter's i know many of them say very
26:35
different things because doctors are afraid to speak
26:38
out you've written about this
26:40
a lot for i am and i want to listen
26:42
the ones who was on them afraid to speak out although
26:44
you can find them yeah
26:46
i think that the one issue where the
26:48
democrats are really really weak on the
26:51
freedom topic is the freedom
26:53
of speech issue speech issue that's become
26:55
it's become a very difficult and fraud issue
26:58
for for democrats you
27:00
know ever since the beginning of the content
27:02
moderation era on the internet there
27:05
are a lot of people who associate the democratic
27:07
party with people being taken off the
27:09
internet and you know rifle being
27:11
afraid to say certain things and
27:13
that's you know that's not a positive light at
27:15
which is and it's to complete opposite of what
27:18
i remember liberalism being
27:20
about when i was growing up growing mean especially
27:23
in medical science which is eminently
27:25
debatable and they've already been wrong
27:28
about so much in this particular
27:32
let crisis that we've had not to
27:34
mention everything they've been wrong about
27:36
in the past
27:37
so don't sit there in your white coat
27:39
telling me we have all the answers
27:41
you obviously don't pile
27:44
finances surfaces
27:46
or i want to hire the have a little
27:48
less
27:49
no and and i am and you
27:51
and i do agree with that and we've
27:53
seen that in the backlash
27:55
especially among parents with
27:57
the education policies i know you're not apparel
28:00
i'm not a parent i don't have kids in school but
28:02
over okay but if you know they
28:05
do
28:05
how is it the just terrible
28:10
i never hear a good thing about it anyway
28:14
the massing all that were
28:17
once you far once that and alienated
28:19
people so alienated do see your viewpoint
28:21
on that and i do agree with you on that
28:23
the what yes it's just quickly i mean
28:25
the the democrats are experiencing an unprecedented
28:28
swing in approval numbers
28:30
on the education issue yet as recently
28:32
as the obama years they had like a twenty nine
28:34
thirty point lead and that issue now it's kind
28:36
of a dead heat you add that to
28:38
the the swings among hispanic
28:41
voters and that stuff's one of
28:43
the reasons to be pessimistic about
28:45
ah about the midterms am
28:47
and what about what is the freedom issue
28:50
is
28:50
what are your from a lot of right wing people
28:53
forced change they feel
28:55
like in the last there know five
28:57
ten years
28:58
there's just a lot of forced change
29:01
that they didn't vote for
29:03
you know i mean some things i think most people are
29:05
for now gay marriage but you know this
29:07
just spent a lot of pronouns and bathrooms
29:10
and penises in the women's locker room
29:12
and
29:13
what what are you know what i'm saying
29:15
no i just want cancelling people and six
29:17
year olds who are oppressors and and i think
29:19
they're they're be was okay you know what
29:21
you're right trump isn't for real voting
29:24
but we didn't vote for this either
29:27
that to them is is a lack
29:29
of
29:35
i would say about that is
29:38
when people say oh my god it's the democrats
29:40
her so wrapped up in
29:42
identity politics democrats
29:46
who are obsessing over what bathrooms
29:48
kids go to it's not a democrat
29:50
you're introducing bells impede places
29:53
like ohio saying that school kids
29:55
need channel checks that is creepy
29:58
that is not freedom
29:59
and the reason why
30:00
they were what is and i'm not familiar with the general
30:03
oh yeah i was so in ohio
30:05
on there is a bill introduced that if
30:07
you suspect on a kid
30:09
like on a sports team is like other
30:11
different gender that there can be a general
30:13
check of them republicans
30:17
introduce that bell
30:19
well as creepy it's
30:21
creepy also i
30:23
don't even why we have we have
30:25
shouldn't just be obvious
30:28
democrats who are have
30:30
it who are introducing
30:31
so you're saying their imposters
30:33
that the people who are pretending to be
30:35
of one sex and a million i was saying
30:37
i have that much i want that's what prompted
30:40
this bill
30:41
no i am i think what prompted it
30:44
ah because
30:46
my aware creepy urge among the republicans
30:49
will invade and people's privacy
30:56
having a private
30:58
thing if you're competing against other people
31:00
mean there are many many women athletes
31:03
who are up in arms about this who say i'm actually
31:05
competing against a man i'm competing
31:08
against someone with different muscle mass
31:10
who may still have still have
31:13
that's not fair my want to compete in
31:15
were under him reason with somebody the or
31:17
am i mean their visits everyone
31:20
want to compete against people in my division
31:22
sure because there are different physical
31:25
attributes between a man and a woman oh
31:27
i'm not saying we should be checking under everybody
31:29
skirt
31:31
you know this was prompted by something
31:33
it didn't come out of thin air
31:35
i wouldn't put whatever and say is it okay let's
31:37
look at on and one guy much as a set
31:39
of the , of michigan
31:42
princess on there
31:44
are four five
31:46
kids who play and live you
31:48
plane a leave that is you separate
31:51
from their birth gender this is on
31:53
the geo p idol finding
31:56
a problem
31:58
i'm and trying to do this to divide
31:59
no
32:00
green taking
32:04
a good point
32:10
men have one sometimes in women's
32:12
for years and years i mean there are many examples
32:15
of this and know it's not a big threat in austin a big
32:17
deal at all it's sports
32:18
what it does matter to people
32:20
i know i i i agree with that
32:22
and i think there should be common sense regulations
32:24
around it
32:26
so it is as i said i'm
32:29
entering that political season and
32:31
the jockeying for even president i noticed has
32:33

by being
36:08
associated with all this radical
36:10
sexuality
36:12

around polling number i'm saying aboriginal
36:25
extremely wow
36:26
really yeah here at a percent
36:28
in south carolina
36:29
i'm talking about the most recent was
36:31
the end and more people gone to know him nationally
36:34
she has the highest approval ratings
36:36
and anyone in the biden administration
36:39
and
36:39
nothing much
36:47
what
36:48
well what is that what
36:51
is this is a democrat to do it's the republican
36:53
i'm just saying every a web of rep away
36:56
right
36:56
i'm just saying every time there's a picture
36:58
of drag queen story our yeah
37:01
i don't think pete likes it because he say
37:03
is that what he's thinking is okay you
37:05
know this is a new thing to a lot of americans
37:08
gay marriage a game and we've never had
37:10
gay present well that we know i'm
37:12
not i'm i'm i'm very i hurriedly dimmers
37:14
about you can have yeah but
37:18
yeah so this you know if he gotta
37:20
try to little gingerly and gingerly think
37:22
what it looks like sit him as
37:24
him as politician is like okay
37:26
can we just cool it on
37:28
a little of this because people are trying
37:31
to get used to this and i'm trying
37:33
to win an election in states that
37:35
are already a little were wary
37:37
about the democrats
37:39
oh i will argue that
37:42
this issue with less
37:45
time on this isn't about sexuality
37:48
it's not class
37:50
i remember seeing him and to
37:52
new hampshire and it was the first time i'd seen
37:54
that see them campaign and as you mentioned
37:56
is getting credible political skills right if
37:58
you see him in person you'll
38:00
have this thought wow this guy's going to be president
38:02
some days so quick like you know
38:05
so accessible seemingly and
38:07
then i went outside the interviewed a bunch of people from
38:09
t and then as you know , to
38:12
do it sort of new england town is are like
38:14
you know they were like that guy was fucking weird
38:16
you know him
38:21
as if it were democrats have too
38:23
many of these that of mckinsey consult
38:25
an ivy league types who just
38:27
as advanced just i don't know how are you are you were talking
38:30
about joe manchin because it's about how
38:32
would be there aren't enough people who just who
38:34
know how to talk
38:35
whatever numbers and keane new hampshire
38:37
because i'm pretty sure he other one
38:40
it or came in a very close second there
38:42
although i'm glad you found some people
38:44
could criticizing their but aren't he
38:46
did pretty well there
38:47
okay but i've been to your larger point
38:49
and i've heard you were bred you on
38:51
this
38:52
the democrats they can have
38:54
lost their sense of humor
38:56
margaret are you do yeah i
38:58
mean i saw dave chappelle got kicked out of his
39:00
venue a couple of weeks ago and minneapolis
39:03
what the fuck is this and
39:05
it just pisses me off because then you hear
39:08
so many people saying castle culture
39:10
isn't a real thing
39:11
just kicked him out of the venue effect
39:14
mean people who actually bought tickets
39:16
which is kind of an indication that they wanna
39:18
see
39:20
yeah
39:25
and what happened of freedom of assembly
39:28
in this country that were free to assemble
39:30
and from what we want to hear what we want
39:32
yeah so what i know
39:34
it's not can be popular with my friends on the left
39:37
or whatever but i am i agree with you i'm
39:39
like an old school liberal i'm like out what
39:41
the a feel you used to be before
39:43
it turned into whatever it is now my
39:51
down comedy is that have always
39:53
been boundary pushing it has always been
39:55
so maybe a little bit offensive
39:58
on and i'm one
40:00
dave chappelle the one thing i will say about
40:02
dave chappelle is that i
40:04
find comedy a bit funnier
40:07
when you punch that
40:09
the powerful rather when you punch down
40:11
at the parallels i am and i find that
40:13
and then there's one more perilous in the advanced
40:16
we're in
40:16
america well i'm not aiming it into
40:19
an argument although i rejected i
40:22
, think that's really what's going on much
40:25
much point is you're allowed to have that
40:27
point of view and dame still allowed to
40:29
fly appear in minneapolis dispute
40:32
or than minneapolis dispute him
40:39
has anyone ever come out looking good because
40:41
they cancel the comics a means to
40:44
see i would you addicts would you will introduce
40:46
his office to somebody and say oh i or
40:48
undergo chancellor when you peruse sir
40:50
richard pryor dave dave chappelle i
40:52
mean historically you don't starkly it's it's
40:55
very very unpopular and and again the
40:57
sits back to the same the same issue
40:59
it's it's an image issue for the democratic
41:01
party they're seen as the people who are dude who
41:04
are behind this
41:06
i want to talk about nancy pelosi before we
41:08
run at a time because she had a big weekend and
41:10
dominated the news in many different ways
41:13
the repertoires he did go to taiwan
41:16
and i mean it's interesting that are
41:18
a lot of people didn't want to go from both
41:20
sides of the aisle biden didn't want
41:23
to go and sean hannity didn't want it ago
41:29
but i feel like she eighty two
41:31
and biden seventy nine both what kind
41:34
of smart and ballsy this way why
41:40
i mean i just wanna know there's a lot of why
41:42
defend yeah we've established that we're
41:44
going to defend ukraine just full
41:46
on there is no limits except sending
41:49
three the closure and hundred
41:52
around the world have to understand when we say were
41:54
one hundred percent behind your we remain were
41:56
fifty percent behind
41:59
have you haven't gotten from
42:02
vietnam iraq and afghanistan
42:05
you have not been negative
42:07
where as much as we can be behind
42:09
ukraine
42:11
what taiwan
42:12
we seem to be like taking these baby steps
42:15
and
42:15
don't understand what that is i mean it's
42:18
if you're you either believe that place is
42:20
a country which we do like
42:23
when prop move the embassy to jerusalem
42:25
which i thought was the only good thing he ever did
42:28
it's like if you believe israel the country
42:31
may get to have was it is the
42:33
may get to have their embassy where it is
42:35
in rebuilding taiwan is taiwan country that
42:37
anybody could visit
42:38
from anywhere especially our politicians
42:47
here here are a mess actor here so i'm
42:49
are you going to talk so know the
42:55
we breathe and her and just okay this is that
42:57
armed is it's a little bit apples and
42:59
oranges because russia did
43:01
invade ukraine they're committing atrocities
43:04
they're they're killing civilians there are doing
43:06
war crimes they're china is saber
43:08
rattling but it they haven't reached
43:10
at place so i think it's a little bit of bit different situation
43:13
and now
43:13
we should expiry that's a good point
43:16
center , again again
43:19

43:21
my enthusiasm for starting xi with superpowers
43:23
is usually continued it was
43:28
i'll give nancy pelosi credit she's been
43:31
very consistent one of the see people in her
43:33
party ah who has been
43:35
against prince's most
43:37
favored nation trading status for for
43:39
china going back all the way to the nineties
43:41
so that that reluctance that you're
43:43
talking about to get mix it up with china
43:46
a lot of those refund by donors who
43:48
have commercial interests in
43:51
china and politicians are wary of
43:53
speaking out about all sorts
43:55
of things involving that country because they're
43:57
because they're money from companies that are that
43:59
are pro putting over there so i
44:02
you know in in in this one sense i think
44:04
you know it's important to remember that in
44:06
, debate they are human rights violator
44:09
and and it's it's worth taking
44:11
a stance on top miles who isn't isn't
44:17
just had a selection a
44:21
lot of people on the republican side

44:25
of free and fair elections one

49:59
the said know people love it
50:06
the lab and you can have a mongoose for lunch
50:08
and then presentation
50:12
there's a disturbing trend going
50:14
on trend america these days rewriting
50:17
science
50:18
to fit ideology or just to said
50:20
what you want reality to be
50:23
we've gone from fat acceptance to
50:25
fat celebration that
50:28
, knew issue
50:32
to real letting yourself go as letting yourself
50:34
of pride
50:36
at least try and be fit and
50:38
healthy and society praise
50:40
those who succeeded now the term
50:43
body positivity the
50:45
used to mean
50:46
imperfect the way i am because i
50:48
mean
50:51
it's orwellian
50:53
i walk and positivity is used to
50:55
describe what's not healthy
50:57
of course you get away with anything bad for you
50:59
when you're young but let me ask you this
51:02
have you ever seen a fat nine zero
51:07
area
51:16
hey at any wage
51:18
the and unchallenged lie
51:20
the people tell themselves so they can go on
51:23
eating whatever they want
51:24
which is fine
51:25
i'm done many self destructive things to
51:28
but no one pretended that was positivity
51:31
and smoking
51:33
that activists said kyle founder of
51:35
conscience health says the media and public
51:37
needs to stop catastrophizing obesity
51:41
a a they're not catastrophizing
51:44
it and be they should be physicists
51:48
or wrong about the whole
51:54
for diet is the leading cause
51:56
of mortality in the united states
51:59
the york time
52:01
of course we're talking about heart disease and cancer
52:03
and diabetes but also as kobe has
52:05
taught us obesity is horrible for
52:08
the immune system
52:09
which is why those numbers
52:11
we're off the charts during
52:13
the pandemic
52:15
that's a catastrophe
52:17
it's literally a national security issue
52:19
now military recruitment is
52:21
down by the most since the end
52:23
of the draft because mainly seventeen
52:26
to twenty four year olds are too fast
52:28
to fight at
52:31
some point acceptance becomes
52:34
enabling
52:36
they buren anyway participating in
52:38
this joyful celebration of gluttony
52:40
that goes on now
52:42
you have blood on your hands
52:44
those dot
52:54
make believe you're fighting
52:56
some great social justice battle for
52:58
a besieged minority but what you're really
53:00
doing is enabling addicts
53:03
the track what we did
53:04
that it was bad
53:05
just a drawstring business suits
53:08
companies like nike
53:10
sports illustrated
53:11
victoria's secret
53:13
companies that are specifically about
53:15
fitness nevertheless
53:17
promote people who are plainly not into fitness
53:21
people like adele face,
53:23
shame campaigns for
53:25
losing weight this
53:27
is matt, there's
53:29
a reason the first thing your doctor does
53:31
is make you step on a a wealth
53:38
it used to be there's a card
53:41
now
53:41
that you can give your doctor and it's as please
53:44
don't way me unless it's really medically
53:46
necessary it's
53:48
, necessary like
53:51
asking your dentist not to look at your teeth
54:02
there's a popular t shirt
54:04
that's as i don't own oh man a flat
54:07
stomach
54:08
okay no one said you do you
54:11
do you
54:12
you're not a freedom fighter because you want to keep
54:15
eating doughnuts
54:23
the usa today actually
54:26
wrote the sentence science hasn't yet
54:28
figured out how to solve obesity the
54:36
and ten coyote concurs saying
54:38
we don't know how to blunt the rise
54:40
in obesity because we don't know precisely
54:42
what the factors are that are causing it
54:44
the yes what
54:47
could it be what's yeah
54:49
, this is a hard one the
54:53
people say to me oh come on bill people
54:55
struggle with this i
54:58
do
54:59
a struggle life's a struggle
55:01
somehow fifty years ago this country
55:04
looked entirely different you don't
55:06
think it was a struggle for them
55:08
the think cake wasn't delicious and nineteen sixty
55:10
nine
55:18
and that's the saddest part we can
55:21
do this
55:22
going
55:23
the by lying about it and making excuses
55:25
psychologically telling ourselves that
55:27
letting ourselves go is the best
55:30
we can do and i gotta believe that as
55:32
americans
55:33
the can still do better than i ever
