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

21:20

of dissatisfaction because inflation

22:18

, if

22:22

routes running want to read gavin newsom

22:24

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

36:10

sexuality

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

know you're having a kid so much

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

44:23

who don't believe in the concept

44:25

of free and fair elections one

44:28

the whole slate in arizona one another

44:30

and three other swing states people who

44:32

do not believe in elections who only

44:34

believe elections count only

44:36

when we when

44:38

44:41

party

44:42

led by nancy pelosi is supporting

44:44

these people

44:45

in the primaries

44:47

44:49

radicals these are the trumpets and

44:51

there are two wings the republican party

44:54

44:56

49:58

we've given up

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
