Speaker 1: that it's not actually National Florida Day, right yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1: How do you then apply that across the other holidays?
Speaker 1: Like it's like almost like a math equation. If it's

Speaker 1: Don't quote me on that. I might have where you
Speaker 1: go to college? East Carolina University, East Carolina, Okay, don't
Speaker 1: That might be incorrect, but I think I remember hearing
Speaker 1: that once. I don't know. I don't follow sports. I
Speaker 1: love it. I love that for your alma mater, love
Speaker 1: that for sub He's really good right like the last
Speaker 1: I checked a couple of years ago, he's good at hockey.
Speaker 1: Is it still true? Miles from what I understand? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you. I barely watched hockey. Sports takes
Speaker 1: from what from? Just get hockey? You want me to
Speaker 1: commit to an answer here? Yeah? I thought you two
Speaker 1: were like big into all the sports, maybe just not hockey.
Speaker 1: Maybe not like cold weather sports. I played hockey, so
Speaker 1: I it stands to reason that I would be fairly engaged.
Speaker 1: But I definitely once I stopped playing, my my attention
Speaker 1: drifted to other sports. You know. Gett asked me anything
Speaker 1: about soccer right now and the Lakers and maybe the
Speaker 1: Western Conference of the NBA a little bit better. But yeah, hockey,
Speaker 1: I'm is a lip in mhmm, just like I would
Speaker 1: be if I tried to play hockey. Yeah. I can
Speaker 1: ice skate really yeah. Uh yeah. I went to a
Speaker 1: skating party, like a roller skating party in sixth grade
Speaker 1: and did not know how to roller skate and fell
Speaker 1: so frequently on the same part of my arm that
Speaker 1: I had like a like bea cup sized like thing
Speaker 1: on my arm for an entire year, just like a welt. God,
Speaker 1: that was really your yeah, but like it did not
Speaker 1: go away. It was white. I just maone in the
Speaker 1: same thing, Jackie, Okay, yeah, yeah, you keep falling on
Speaker 1: that arm. It's bit. I actually know how to roller skate,
Speaker 1: all right, guys who can go backwards? Bridget? How is uh?
Speaker 1: How's Washington, d C? What's what's good? DC? It's good.
Speaker 1: I was were talking earlier about how there's a fugitive
Speaker 1: loose in my neighborhood. But other than that, he is
Speaker 1: the same. Yesterday we had or I guess yeah. Sunday
Speaker 1: we had our big anti vax rally in d C,
Speaker 1: and subsequently thousands of anti vaxers swarmed on our city
Speaker 1: and then like got thrown out of restaurants so they
Speaker 1: don't have vaccination cards. Um, yeah, an interesting time to
Speaker 1: be in d C. Yeah, RFK completely uh reinterpreted the Holocaust.
Speaker 1: That's right, That's right. People will never cease to amaze
Speaker 1: me that he is married to Cheryl Hines, Like I
Speaker 1: can't I can't make my brain understand it. I know.
Speaker 1: We we talked about that on a Trending episode because
Speaker 1: there was like this thing where he was defending the
Speaker 1: idea that Cheryl was having a party where they were
Speaker 1: asking people to test and steams like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: that's not me, you know, it's not my brain. But
Speaker 1: then yeah, we were like questions need to be asked,
Speaker 1: like what is Larry Davis saying we need a deep
Speaker 1: dive into into that relationship that's truly confounding. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean they were They were like, please be vaccinated or
Speaker 1: get tested at a party that he was hosting. He
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I guess no, he wasn't. He's like
Speaker 1: my wife was hosting that party, but like he was
Speaker 1: his cover. Okay, wife is hosting a party and y'all
Speaker 1: are like, you're hosting it together. If y'all are married, right, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he was like, I guess that's just more proof that
Speaker 1: I don't have any say in the house. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: told you, man, they're running wild, running wild? Can I
Speaker 1: do RFK out? Like what is this? But yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm curious to like, especially Larry David. I'm does he
Speaker 1: must talk wild Ship behind her backup? Or is Larry
Speaker 1: David like He's like, no, you know, RFK Jr. Is
Speaker 1: pretty cool, guy, deep, pretty pretty cool. They're like, the
Speaker 1: mainstream media doesn't want you to know the truth about vaccines,
Speaker 1: so I can't say it. But yeah, uh Ship. All right, Well, Bridget,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to know you a little bit better
Speaker 1: in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
Speaker 1: couple of the things we're talking about. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about n f t S and crypto. They are apparently collapsing.
Speaker 1: I think there was a hundred and thirty billion dollars
Speaker 1: wiped out of the crypto market in the past twenty
Speaker 1: four hours. I have usually to this point just completely
Speaker 1: tuned out any story that had to do with crypto
Speaker 1: or n f t S. But I watched that, like
Speaker 1: that feature film length explainer on Crypto, the line goes up, Yeah,
Speaker 1: from the line goes up or I watched most of it,
Speaker 1: and I won't say I watched the whole thing. So
Speaker 1: I feel a little more confident in saying that that's
Speaker 1: all a scam and bullshit. So we'll we'll talk about
Speaker 1: some of the interesting points that are made in that explainer,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about new Gingrich because he is
Speaker 1: threatening jail time, he said, and not and not two
Speaker 1: people who are involved in January six, but rather the
Speaker 1: real criminals of January six, the January six committee. That's right.
Speaker 1: The Republicans win, They're going to jail all of that
Speaker 1: plenty more. But first, Bridget, we do like to ask
Speaker 1: our guests, what is something from your search history that
Speaker 1: revealing but who you are? Oh, I'm so excited for
Speaker 1: this question. Something from my search history? Wife to one
Speaker 1: is the real housewife of the Salt Lake City anyone
Speaker 1: is following that drama with First it was Mary possibly
Speaker 1: running a cold, then it was Jen possibly being a scanner,
Speaker 1: and now it is Jenny in her history of anti
Speaker 1: black statements, which frankly, I'm like not surprised with Bravo's history.
Speaker 1: Um so definitely doing a lot of deep dives into that.
Speaker 1: And then Jenny is the newest one. Her husband asked
Speaker 1: her for a sister wife, like that was her big
Speaker 1: her big plotline, but like her husband was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I want to have another baby, but I just saw
Speaker 1: the first episode I've seen. But yet she's uh, she's Asian, right,
Speaker 1: that's right? Okay, Wow, come on with do I fucking
Speaker 1: hate about reality shows? It's like you start watching because
Speaker 1: I watched a lot of reality and whenever I'm watching something,
Speaker 1: I always be like, just wait for this person's racists
Speaker 1: to come out, because these producers don't give a funk
Speaker 1: about anything. Yeah, well, so what's so. I don't want
Speaker 1: to spoil it if you haven't seen it, but it's
Speaker 1: raise and racism comes up on the show with Jenny
Speaker 1: in terms of one of the other cast members being like,
Speaker 1: frankly pretty like racist towards her, and she calls it
Speaker 1: out and I was like, Wow, good for her. She's
Speaker 1: really like articulating why racism is bad. And then to
Speaker 1: have this stuff all come out of like her terrible
Speaker 1: history of nonsense Facebook post, it's pretty disappointing, but I
Speaker 1: guess bravo These days is like just exploding and imploding
Speaker 1: in terms of like putting racist people on TV Bravo.
Speaker 1: And then the second thing from my search history, Jack,
Speaker 1: I feel like I I wanted to talk to you
Speaker 1: about this because I have a lot of friends who
Speaker 1: are parents, and all my friends who are parents are
Speaker 1: just like they've they're they've lost it. They're like they
Speaker 1: they just are at their wits end. And so I
Speaker 1: sent a bunch of my friends who have kids bottles
Speaker 1: of whiskey because they have just like they need they
Speaker 1: need to pick me up, they need something. The parents
Speaker 1: are not okay. The parents are having a hard time.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Yeah, I mean just in general. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's it's very it's hard being it being around
Speaker 1: your kids all the time. My kids school has been
Speaker 1: open for the past like month, when it was not open,
Speaker 1: it was very difficult. Yeah. I think that's probably a
Speaker 1: nice thing to do for the parents to just like
Speaker 1: kind of encourage day drinking that. I feel like the
Speaker 1: second time around kindergarten, preschool, whatever, it's both boring but
Speaker 1: also like you get your feelings hurt by if the
Speaker 1: teacher like doesn't calling your kid or whatever. It's just
Speaker 1: like so stupid, like all the all the dumb, toxic
Speaker 1: things that come along with parenting or just highlighted. And
Speaker 1: then the math is really hard. You know, my son's
Speaker 1: in kindergarten. I find that math very difficult. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't drink. So I have turned to meditation. It's
Speaker 1: probably healthier. Three to four hours a day just meditating
Speaker 1: my room by myself, this noise canceling headphones and like,
Speaker 1: I think you're just taking naps really great, really really
Speaker 1: centering myself. Yeah, but shout out to all the parents
Speaker 1: out there, and especially shout out to the teachers. Please
Speaker 1: don't parents, don't take it out on the teachers. Yes,
Speaker 1: I mean imagine being like a double a double combo
Speaker 1: with like being a parent and then also a teacher.
Speaker 1: I have a friend that who that is her life,
Speaker 1: and she says, yeah, sometimes I just go in the
Speaker 1: backyard and scream, right real, Yeah, don't don't be a snitcher.
Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor. Weird if they're just in their
Speaker 1: backyards screaming at the top of the long because especially
Speaker 1: if they have kids, you know, and if especially if
Speaker 1: you just scream, you're like, this is just for show,
Speaker 1: And then people are like, Okay, I don't need to
Speaker 1: there's no need to interpret that very clear what the
Speaker 1: screams are about. I am not in danger. Make your
Speaker 1: cathartic screams very clear that you're not in danger, and
Speaker 1: they're purely a Catharsis scream. I feel like a good God. Damn.
Speaker 1: It is also pretty clear that you're the one who's angry,
Speaker 1: you know, But yes, do it outside the ear shot
Speaker 1: of your children. Do it, do it in the backyard.
Speaker 1: What is something that you think is overrated? Something I
Speaker 1: think is overrated is the metaverse. I saw this video
Speaker 1: of a rave taking place in the metaverse, and the
Speaker 1: person who tweeted it was like, oh, doesn't it look
Speaker 1: like fun? And I just thought to myself, No, it
Speaker 1: really doesn't, And like, why would I want to sit
Speaker 1: in my house wearing an oculus to attend this? No?
Speaker 1: Not interested? I mean, we are investing everything, every ad
Speaker 1: dollar of this show earns into putting it purely on
Speaker 1: the metaverse, building out a metaverse experience. We believe in
Speaker 1: the metaverse here that I'm just yeah, it looks like
Speaker 1: end it. It looks like absolute shit? It does it's
Speaker 1: I saw somebody I need to find this tweet, but
Speaker 1: it's basically applying that that theory that like whenever somebody's
Speaker 1: at their peak fame, that's when they stopped evolving as
Speaker 1: a human, like with regards to everything from fashion to
Speaker 1: like they're acting to their like ability to use technology.
Speaker 1: And someone was like, I think that happened to Mark
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg because like once he became a internationally famous like
Speaker 1: CEO like that, that was around the time that this
Speaker 1: sort of thing would have been considered cool. It was like,
Speaker 1: you know, sins in Second Life and like that, and
Speaker 1: VR was still like kind of the wave of the
Speaker 1: future type thing. Yeah, it just seems very like retrograde.
Speaker 1: He's got that oh six technology swag. Yeah, exactly like
Speaker 1: what it's like. Yeah, I feel like that it's such
Speaker 1: a throw back to like, yeah, the sims like I
Speaker 1: feel like we've been here before. And also I just
Speaker 1: feel like any kind of technology that means that people
Speaker 1: are going to have to wear something bulky on their face,
Speaker 1: like an oculus to to exuperience it. Really, I just
Speaker 1: don't see becoming like very commonplace. I'm sure people are,
Speaker 1: like I know people who are having great experiences with
Speaker 1: their R headsets, and I love that for them, But
Speaker 1: I just don't see it being like a commonplace, everyday
Speaker 1: household thing, like people just don't want to wear a
Speaker 1: bulky thing on their head or just or like what
Speaker 1: it offers. Right, And I've I've consistently said, until it's
Speaker 1: something that is really blurring the lines of our like
Speaker 1: reality and like what our perceptive reality. I don't know,
Speaker 1: like that's that's the kind of push or you you'd
Speaker 1: be like, oh, ship man, like you put this thing
Speaker 1: on and you really might think you're on top of
Speaker 1: a mountain. Like maybe that happens, and then we go
Speaker 1: down a slippery slope with people just like in their
Speaker 1: houses not doing anything because they're just have a headset on.
Speaker 1: But for me, I think I just seemitted. Use Like again,
Speaker 1: I'd love to watch an immersive music video with a headset.
Speaker 1: That might be cool, or you know, play a certain
Speaker 1: game or anything. But I don't know, like long hours
Speaker 1: long wearing is just I don't know. For me, I
Speaker 1: just want to I just want to go to the
Speaker 1: matrix if if I'm being honest, yeah, I feel like
Speaker 1: that it's good for like the people have created like
Speaker 1: some cool video games to play with them. Like and
Speaker 1: I've heard of people doing like hangouts with friends that
Speaker 1: they like can't otherwise see, you know, like being in
Speaker 1: the same room with people that are like across the
Speaker 1: country like during the pandemic might be a cool thing
Speaker 1: to do. But like everything about the Facebook, like Facebook,
Speaker 1: you don't need the Facebook's metaverse to do any of
Speaker 1: that ship like people already have it, and like, in fact,
Speaker 1: connecting it to a massive corporation that is trying to
Speaker 1: like like sort of manipulate your behavior and like monetize
Speaker 1: is like the exact opposite of what would be cool about.
Speaker 1: Completely agree. So I watched NBA basketball and like sometimes
Speaker 1: I'll be watching a like, you know, Philadelphia broadcast I
Speaker 1: think it was, I forget who it was. I think
Speaker 1: it was a Philadelphia broadcast, and there was like a
Speaker 1: ad for like broadband internet, and they had like the
Speaker 1: family doing VR. They're like, now we can do VR together,
Speaker 1: and then like the dad like puts on the VR
Speaker 1: headset and then like the whole family everybody has VR
Speaker 1: headsets on, and they're all just like wandering around with
Speaker 1: their hands in front of them like they're blindfolded. So
Speaker 1: it's just like it's entered the it centered the zeitgeist,
Speaker 1: but like the majority of people don't really know what
Speaker 1: it is or like how people use it. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think most of the videos people see our people
Speaker 1: falling over or like like plowing through drywall because they're
Speaker 1: so like disoriented r set, So I get why they're
Speaker 1: like and VR, and the depiction of that is like
Speaker 1: disoriented people in a room. It's never like VR and
Speaker 1: it's like kids be like, thanks, Dad, I just got
Speaker 1: a new U. I got my third degree of particle physics.
Speaker 1: Like that's not what it's offering you. Yeah, but anyway,
Speaker 1: you know, look out for the t DZ meta app.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be called d Yeah, you buy into ours.
Speaker 1: We just bearate you for buying into it. Likes wrong
Speaker 1: with you looking money back? Well you need is the
Speaker 1: t d Z n F T the n F t
Speaker 1: d Z to enter the chat with us, and it
Speaker 1: seems like you're in a room with Miles and nine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a really great offer for you guys
Speaker 1: coming out of the second mid role. Uh, stay locked
Speaker 1: for that because zite coin is launching. Yeah, what is
Speaker 1: something you think is underrated? Something I think is underrated
Speaker 1: is you know, the sort of like two thousand and
Speaker 1: eight emo Scenster style. Ever since they came out with
Speaker 1: that music, that's well, when we were young, people have
Speaker 1: been talking about like, oh, what were you you know,
Speaker 1: what were you wearing into thousand and eight? We wearing
Speaker 1: two thousand nine. And I went back and looked at myself.
Speaker 1: I was definitely like an alt an alt type in
Speaker 1: two thousand eight. And I actually don't think those fashions
Speaker 1: were half bad. You know, people when people were rocking
Speaker 1: the like hair swoop, like the like the bang swoop
Speaker 1: over the one eye, um, a lot of piercings. You know.
Speaker 1: I don't think those fashions were half bad. I would
Speaker 1: wear some of that today. Yeah, I mean if I
Speaker 1: saw something like an adult like I saw the other day,
Speaker 1: I did see an emo adult guy and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh cool. Like I was just like, all right, man,
Speaker 1: I remember that ship and I'm glad you fucking you
Speaker 1: ride for that so hard. I'm like, I'm hoping, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that's a good person. But yeah, whatever, I mean,
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem I like that. I mean to to
Speaker 1: pull off some of the like intricate hair dye things
Speaker 1: I remember from then. I'll take my hat off to that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like we were just having so much fun back
Speaker 1: in two thousand eight. It was a fun time to
Speaker 1: be a young person, right, And some of that's been
Speaker 1: like influential, right, Like, there's still a lot of like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know some of those styles you
Speaker 1: see among kids like to this day. I feel like
Speaker 1: it's not it's not like a thing that just went
Speaker 1: embarrassingly out of fashion like a lot of big swings
Speaker 1: do from teenagers. Yeah. Well, I mean I know a
Speaker 1: lot of people who are probably very happy for their hair,
Speaker 1: for the amount of like ship that they were doing
Speaker 1: to achieve these looks, especially if you had any amount
Speaker 1: of texture to it. I am saying this because then
Speaker 1: the listeners can't see this, but I am trying out
Speaker 1: the swoop over the one eye. Yeah, and and you
Speaker 1: keep blinking because you're like it's you keep saying it's
Speaker 1: get It's very frustrating. Yeah, I've taken to just closing
Speaker 1: one of the one of the eyes, but I don't
Speaker 1: know how they pulled it off. Your lip rings are
Speaker 1: healing though pretty well, yeah, I mean not bad. There's
Speaker 1: still you know, kind of connecting in one bag infection
Speaker 1: in the middle. But yeah, for the most part, like there,
Speaker 1: it seems like we're making progress in the right direction.
Speaker 1: And your gauges are not your ear holes from your
Speaker 1: gauges are nice and stretched out, you know. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And that's what I It's not so much the look
Speaker 1: with the gauges in as much as like I like
Speaker 1: to just loose dangly thing at when they're out, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: just like getting those yeah, just being able to like
Speaker 1: kind of I I've always, ever since I heard that
Speaker 1: children's song, to your ears hang low? Do they wobble
Speaker 1: to them? From I've been like, please teach me, teach me,
Speaker 1: sen your one goal since the child And then when
Speaker 1: I saw gauges, I'm like, here we go time then
Speaker 1: and not time in a bow? Yes? Please? Yeah? Can
Speaker 1: you throw them over your shoulder like a continental So
Speaker 1: wait a second, one, feel like that's got to be
Speaker 1: I feel like that's gotta be bad. Can you throw
Speaker 1: them over your shoulder as you extract natural resources? Do
Speaker 1: your ears low? Wait? What was that last verse? The
Speaker 1: last part? All right, let's take a quick break. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back, and we're back, and all right, let's
Speaker 1: talk let's talk n f T s in crypto. This
Speaker 1: is a thing that I have felt wildly unqualified to
Speaker 1: talk about to this point and feel just regular unqualified
Speaker 1: to talk about at this point after I watched that
Speaker 1: two hour explainer online goes up that you know, just
Speaker 1: kind of dug into the details of how the n
Speaker 1: f T market and the crypto market work, and it's
Speaker 1: pretty meticulous, to the point that I understood every other
Speaker 1: word maybe at that it's also over two hours, but
Speaker 1: basically his thesis, his analysis is that crypto like really
Speaker 1: isn't ship and has never really been like what they
Speaker 1: promised it would be. Yeah, Like the stuff that I
Speaker 1: think has prevented me and a lot of people from
Speaker 1: doing a deep dive is you know, that it's technological
Speaker 1: and financially intricate and complex, and those are two things
Speaker 1: that a lot of people aren't well versed in. But apparently,
Speaker 1: like his theories, that's like part of a feature of
Speaker 1: the system, not a bug, like it's meant to be
Speaker 1: to dissuade people from criticizing it or like trying to
Speaker 1: understand it who aren't part of the market in the
Speaker 1: same way that occult like has a buy in where
Speaker 1: you know, you spend the time to learn the secret language,
Speaker 1: and then after a certain point you're like kind of
Speaker 1: pot committed a little bit. But the big picture issue
Speaker 1: is that that is still the same issue I've had
Speaker 1: with it. Instead of spending our like human capital and
Speaker 1: like lives and energy and love, like trying to form
Speaker 1: communities that actually helped other people and solve each other's problems,
Speaker 1: we're basically spending it on creating new, complicated, time swallowing
Speaker 1: systems and communities that are basically just copies of the
Speaker 1: ones that we currently have, just with like different problems
Speaker 1: but similar dynamics where the people who are rich are
Speaker 1: able to exploit the people who are less rich, and yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just very predatory and people are losing a lot
Speaker 1: of money on it. It seems like, yeah, and I
Speaker 1: think it's also you know, like I got through about
Speaker 1: the first hour or so of it and just generally
Speaker 1: like the thing that I like, I always sort of
Speaker 1: inherently kind of half understood from what I read and
Speaker 1: what I've heard anecdotally from people you know who are
Speaker 1: like kind of heavy into it, is that you know,
Speaker 1: there is this huge thing of like normalizing the idea
Speaker 1: of investing in crypto and and f t s to
Speaker 1: to keep the pool of investors large enough that for
Speaker 1: your theoretical amount of money that you have, you can
Speaker 1: actually pull that up. But the only way you do
Speaker 1: that is by ensuring that there's a constant introduction of
Speaker 1: new people putting money into the market. And when you
Speaker 1: look at sort of those things like just how like
Speaker 1: you know, the Staples Center became crypto dot com arena,
Speaker 1: and just like we're seeing it all over from commercials
Speaker 1: that have like really high paid celebrities and things like that,
Speaker 1: that there is a push and I always see it
Speaker 1: from people with a lot of money, who are the
Speaker 1: ones being like, man, you gotta get into crypto, as
Speaker 1: if that that's an explanation for their existing wealth, rather
Speaker 1: than like people already having the means and then saying like, oh,
Speaker 1: here's a new way I can get in because I
Speaker 1: have enough capital to truly profit from it, rather than
Speaker 1: someone who says, maybe, oh, let me start with like
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars and where that goes all the arguments
Speaker 1: I've heard for it, like that it's distributed and not
Speaker 1: like centrally like controlled, which he dispels, but like, just
Speaker 1: from a broad perspective, even without like watching all the
Speaker 1: technical ways that like the whole thing is kind of
Speaker 1: a lie. Any any claim that like n f t
Speaker 1: S and crypto and that whole world have to being
Speaker 1: a underground sort of more like ground level system probably
Speaker 1: go out the window of the second that Matt Damon
Speaker 1: is doing a Super Bowl ad for the product. And
Speaker 1: I know this is I'm popular with a lot of people,
Speaker 1: Like I understand that people are getting rich, but they're
Speaker 1: getting rich the same way that people have gotten rich
Speaker 1: in the current system this is supposed to replace, which
Speaker 1: is just that people who buy an early and then
Speaker 1: are able to manipulate the market in a way that
Speaker 1: like more people buy in. Like it's just it's just
Speaker 1: people using influence to drive up the market and victimize people.
Speaker 1: That's absolutely it. I mean I watched the whole thing
Speaker 1: over the weekend that I found it, the whole documentary,
Speaker 1: I found it fascinating, and all the things that you
Speaker 1: have just said I completely agree with. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm reminded quite a bit of if you've read the
Speaker 1: book or seen the film The Big Short about how
Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff is purposely opaque to give
Speaker 1: you the sense that like, oh, it must be legit
Speaker 1: or it must be too complicated for little me to understand.
Speaker 1: And they actually build in all of these complex words
Speaker 1: and sort of you know, like big ideas and acronyms
Speaker 1: and such to give you the impression that it's like
Speaker 1: very very smart people doing very smart things and don't
Speaker 1: ask too many questions about it. But one of the
Speaker 1: things that I was really struck by in the two
Speaker 1: hour YouTube explainer that you were just talking about is
Speaker 1: the way that they use this very culti behavior, Like
Speaker 1: they really capitalize on the cultiness of human behavior to
Speaker 1: keep people in and so it kind of becomes this
Speaker 1: kind of toxic positivity thing where you know, people wake
Speaker 1: up and they say GM to each other, good morning
Speaker 1: to each there, and even that small thing is to
Speaker 1: signal to other people like I'm invested in this, We're
Speaker 1: we're gonna take this thing to the moon. You know,
Speaker 1: if you know, all of these people really just being
Speaker 1: hyper invested in that fact that they're going to make it.
Speaker 1: And it really reminded me. If you've ever known anybody
Speaker 1: who is involved in an MLM, it is the exact
Speaker 1: same thing like he like, I could not believe it.
Speaker 1: It's like it's basically like, yeah, they take to the
Speaker 1: same kind of business model of like making people feel
Speaker 1: bad for questioning whether or not it's working for them.
Speaker 1: Anybody in your life who has the audacity to suggest that,
Speaker 1: like this might not actually be a sound investment, you
Speaker 1: need to cut them out of the bed of your life.
Speaker 1: You need to be committed to this. It is the
Speaker 1: exact same thing. It's really kind of scary. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: gotta have those diamond hands, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: you gold on for dear life, pay your hands. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And that's like the language right, holding on for dear life.
Speaker 1: Like it's it's all in built. I think to to
Speaker 1: sort of maintain that sort of kind of behavior. And
Speaker 1: I think what's really slick about it is like to
Speaker 1: your point, Jack, like there is a way to look
Speaker 1: at and say you're not really getting like this isn't
Speaker 1: something like moral way, like some moral investment you're getting
Speaker 1: involved in, especially when you look at the things like
Speaker 1: the energy consumption that are involved with it. But what
Speaker 1: it does is it allows for people to not really
Speaker 1: engage with that dimension of what it means to be
Speaker 1: invested in crypto because I know many people who like,
Speaker 1: very early on, we're just interested. They're like, oh, this
Speaker 1: could be interesting, and begin investing and have made money,
Speaker 1: but they'll never look at it for like they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's bad stuff, but they have to compartmentalize a lot
Speaker 1: because I think it is also it is jarring for
Speaker 1: someone to think, like if you just gave them the
Speaker 1: like definitely like actually, this is all just an MLM,
Speaker 1: and you're doing this in service of people who are
Speaker 1: much wealthier than You're those people who standing to make
Speaker 1: even more money than you, and you know your participation
Speaker 1: in this helps the jig along. The degree to which
Speaker 1: Peter Tiel is like behind all of this, it's pretty
Speaker 1: fucking shocking. I'm like, you know a worst case scenario
Speaker 1: that like you'd be like, yeah, but it can't be
Speaker 1: like that bad, but yeah, Peter t Mr Blood Drinker.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of like seeing Q like rise up
Speaker 1: in politics, Like people are funneling an understandable frustration with
Speaker 1: the economic and political realities in our country into like
Speaker 1: a sort of a different system that is a replication
Speaker 1: of the same system. Like this is you know, when
Speaker 1: we talk about the lack of imagination that we have
Speaker 1: for imagining like other systems. I think it's understandable because
Speaker 1: we have, like our schooling and everything has just taught
Speaker 1: us that like America is the best. This is the
Speaker 1: only way to run an actual world. And like, as
Speaker 1: we're seeing problems crop up, the only thing we know
Speaker 1: to do with our frustrations is to just like be like, well,
Speaker 1: what if we did another America that was like miniature
Speaker 1: and like had memes or you know, whatever themes are
Speaker 1: the money mm hmmm. But it's like we've just been
Speaker 1: so thoroughly like reprogrammed by capitalism to a very like
Speaker 1: cellular level in our both like mind and spirit, that
Speaker 1: like this is the only thing where capable of like
Speaker 1: producing is just more more capitalism, more like you know,
Speaker 1: sort of predatory systems to prey on one another, and
Speaker 1: then you get to see like the other people get
Speaker 1: rich and then you chase that, even though you're almost
Speaker 1: by definition too late. And yeah, it's just like like
Speaker 1: when you view capitalism as a as its own like
Speaker 1: actor within human history, it's like, yeah, capitalism already has
Speaker 1: like figured out the singularity Capitalism is is destroying us
Speaker 1: all and like is like fifteen steps ahead, and I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know the answer other than like to
Speaker 1: learn about and tell people and to to each other
Speaker 1: about like other systems that have worked better than this one. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: because I think culturally though, the like the sort of
Speaker 1: mainstream idea of what it means to invest is always
Speaker 1: like go from nothing to millionaires and make as much
Speaker 1: money as you can make, make your investment fucking five
Speaker 1: x eight x, ten x twenty x that ship. And
Speaker 1: the idea is always like what's the most I can
Speaker 1: get as quickly as possible, or just what's the most
Speaker 1: I can get? And that I think that sort of
Speaker 1: basic motivation will always just because of our human nature,
Speaker 1: all the all roads are always going to lead to
Speaker 1: this point. And yeah, I think because of the you know,
Speaker 1: there's not a coin that's like hey man, with every
Speaker 1: I don't even know what you do, Like every fucking
Speaker 1: coin we sell, you were that much closer to reversing
Speaker 1: Citizens United or some ship. I don't know, like what
Speaker 1: what the answer is there, but yeah, like because of
Speaker 1: the massive inequality, it's these kinds of things are only
Speaker 1: even more incentivized for people. So it's it's always going
Speaker 1: to be a win win game when you you have
Speaker 1: a huge chunk of the population that is in a
Speaker 1: state of lack and there's nothing better to then be
Speaker 1: like you know who, because it's the same thing even
Speaker 1: with like cults or you know, like Tony Robbins type ship,
Speaker 1: where it's like, let me find the people at their lowest,
Speaker 1: because that's who's gonna I can convert those people really easily.
Speaker 1: And not to say that every person investing is at
Speaker 1: their lowest, but the sort of disparities that we have
Speaker 1: and like especially income inequality or income equality, you know,
Speaker 1: keeps this keeps this thing very viable. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: the profile of the average like n f T owner
Speaker 1: and crypto owner is like very much middle class people
Speaker 1: who probably like don't have the disposable income like two
Speaker 1: have a hundred and what is it, a hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty billion dollars wiped out of the crypto market, Like
Speaker 1: it's it's truly fucked up. But like his thesis is
Speaker 1: at least partially that part of the reason that everybody
Speaker 1: so like defensive and like fuck you, you just like
Speaker 1: don't understand or you're just like part of the system
Speaker 1: that doesn't want me to get rich is because there's
Speaker 1: like an insecurity because you know, they're part of a
Speaker 1: group that has been excluded from you know, the big
Speaker 1: like financial institutions and ship so they are just kind
Speaker 1: of creating the same sort of self defense and like
Speaker 1: self defending sort of attack culture that they were victimized by. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: and I think that also speaks to a problem that
Speaker 1: we have in media that the end the film made
Speaker 1: a really good point about the fact that like, like
Speaker 1: I think it was November or December when everybody was
Speaker 1: talking about n f T s. It was like the
Speaker 1: hot thing, and a big part of that was driven
Speaker 1: by a media landscape that I think doesn't fully didn't
Speaker 1: fully understand it and was not not nearly skeptical enough
Speaker 1: of a lot of these claims that were being made.
Speaker 1: But they talk about how like, you know, crypto folks
Speaker 1: and n f T folks were able to generate all
Speaker 1: this good press just in a press release, and then
Speaker 1: whether or not the things that were laid out in
Speaker 1: that release actually came to fruition, Well, no media you know,
Speaker 1: person ever followed up with that, and how they were
Speaker 1: really able to control the conversation around it, in control,
Speaker 1: you know, or generate. The one thing they were able
Speaker 1: to really generate was sort of buzz and attention, and
Speaker 1: that like at a certain point that's kind of very
Speaker 1: very lucrative in its own right. Um, And so I
Speaker 1: think that, you know, I hope that going forward, we
Speaker 1: will be able to have more substantive conversations about crypto
Speaker 1: and you know, decentralization, but conversations that are not even
Speaker 1: not led by media folks who don't really know what
Speaker 1: they're talking about, or people who are incentivized to really
Speaker 1: sell you on it, who are like completely positive and
Speaker 1: like have nothing critical or skeptical to say about it.
Speaker 1: Right when that especially that one part when he was
Speaker 1: like you might have seen articles talking about how Venezuela
Speaker 1: is on the brink of going to all crypt doors,
Speaker 1: other countries in Central or Latin America are about to
Speaker 1: go fully on crypto. Is like that was coming out
Speaker 1: of like two investment guys in San Bernardina, like who
Speaker 1: were seating those stories, and like, holy shit it and
Speaker 1: like and then again, you see, because I always noticed
Speaker 1: the kinds of people who I'll get really evangelical about it,
Speaker 1: and I've you know, Jack's been there, We've had interactions
Speaker 1: with people who have lots of money, and the way
Speaker 1: they talk about crypto, it does almost seem like they're like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I need people to get in here, man, so I
Speaker 1: can keep making more money, Like we gotta make this
Speaker 1: thing as normal as possible. And and again, who can
Speaker 1: blame anybody who decides to invest because on a certain level,
Speaker 1: you're like I saw this money in and this money
Speaker 1: come out, and on that very basic level it draws
Speaker 1: people in, but without knowing all of the dimensions of it,
Speaker 1: they think it can can make for terrible outcomes for
Speaker 1: some people. Like I can really imagine if there are
Speaker 1: people who lost tons of money with the crash over
Speaker 1: the weekend, like what their portfolios look like or what
Speaker 1: they you know, if they're not diversified or whatever. That's
Speaker 1: why this investment ship is so much Yeah, that's ah
Speaker 1: the thing, Like you could look at the fact that
Speaker 1: crypto loss that much, the crypto market loss that much money,
Speaker 1: and be like, ah, so finally this is like a
Speaker 1: self correcting thing with the market. I would guess it's
Speaker 1: actually a thing where the people who are you know,
Speaker 1: middle class and don't have the ability to like, you know,
Speaker 1: stake themselves and like ride one of something like this
Speaker 1: out are victimized, and then like this is a chance
Speaker 1: for the really wealthy to consolidate wealth and then like
Speaker 1: continue to build this market out because it does feel
Speaker 1: like the n f T market has gone so mainstream
Speaker 1: that it's going to be a thing that the powers
Speaker 1: that be will not allow to fail at this point.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to look at those ugly chip
Speaker 1: paintings forever, like that is gonna be what we have,
Speaker 1: what we what we or those like glitch those like
Speaker 1: it's Twitter profiles, We're gonna have to keep keep those around, right,
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be like get more and more official,
Speaker 1: where it's going to be like now you're like source
Speaker 1: of security card is n f T Like that that's
Speaker 1: at least what he seems to be predicting is like
Speaker 1: they're trying to infiltrate like unions and all sorts of
Speaker 1: ship like the things like this where there's a big
Speaker 1: sell off and then like rich people now have a
Speaker 1: bunch of value in the crypto market, Like you know,
Speaker 1: now they're incentivized to like build this out and make
Speaker 1: it legit, and like you're already seeing that like that
Speaker 1: the attempt to make it legit, as you talked about
Speaker 1: Bridges is like, you know, the all the mainstream media
Speaker 1: coverage of this like is treating it like, yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: this is all good and legit, and it's going to
Speaker 1: just end up being a another way for the people
Speaker 1: who have insane amounts of money to uh, you know,
Speaker 1: keep making money. Yeah, keep building that anyway. But and
Speaker 1: all that, you know, and I think that is a
Speaker 1: good discussion to have. I do want to say that
Speaker 1: that's not going to affect the launch of Jack and
Speaker 1: I his new cryptocurrencies. I know. Yeah, like there's one thing.
Speaker 1: So all of that is about that kind of actory.
Speaker 1: And then here we are offering you an amazing ground
Speaker 1: opportunity to have diamond hands with our or well what
Speaker 1: is it, zitcoin zitcoin. Yeah, and basically it's really easy,
Speaker 1: right Like to enter this exchange, you're gonna need to
Speaker 1: have at least four hundred zeitcoin in your wallet to
Speaker 1: be a part of it. So that is an initial
Speaker 1: investment of fourteen hundred dollars or a dollar a coin
Speaker 1: right now. Uh, And I know that's kind of a
Speaker 1: high price, but I'm just telling you, man, if this
Speaker 1: thing goes to two dollars. That's so think about to right,
Speaker 1: probably I was saying you and I will be so rich.
Speaker 1: I mean that them. Uh but that's back of America,
Speaker 1: who is staking a lot of this Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: back in this new adventure that we're really excited about.
Speaker 1: Do you remember that one section in the documentary about
Speaker 1: how like at a certain point you would start seeing
Speaker 1: like bitcoin accepted here stickers being slopped up because for them,
Speaker 1: the people who are doing that, it was purely about
Speaker 1: the optics of creating a reality for people. They go, oh, ship, man,
Speaker 1: the bodega is gonna take crypto, like this place takes bitcoin,
Speaker 1: or this place has a crypto a t M outside
Speaker 1: of it. Remember there was a crypto a t M
Speaker 1: on like right by the old office in Hollywood, And
Speaker 1: we're like, yo, the fuck nobody's used in the future man. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But they were also like when they were putting the
Speaker 1: stickers up, they were doing it knowing that nobody would
Speaker 1: actually use it, and they were just stickers. They weren't
Speaker 1: like they were like, hey, could I put the sticker
Speaker 1: on your cash register? Like it doesn't mean anything. Just okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean not to take it back to MLMs, but
Speaker 1: if anyone's seen that document that docuseries Lula Rich about
Speaker 1: the Lula Road or mid scheme, that's exactly the same
Speaker 1: thing they would do. They would make it appear like
Speaker 1: everyone is wearing these laggings and anybody who was involved
Speaker 1: in selling these leggings like they have beautiful homes and
Speaker 1: take wonderful trips because of it. You know whether or
Speaker 1: not that like like that wasn't actually true, but just
Speaker 1: the appearance of that was what what actually created the currency.
Speaker 1: And I think like ever since watching that documentary, I
Speaker 1: can't see I cannot stop seeing like the parallels between
Speaker 1: any other like MLM scheme, the kind of thing that
Speaker 1: you think, like, wow, how did educated people get duped
Speaker 1: into this? And seeing the way that we're they're trying
Speaker 1: to normalize what seems so obviously to be, at least
Speaker 1: for a lot of folks, a scam, you know, the
Speaker 1: way that they're trying to like make it not a scam,
Speaker 1: right right, yea mhm, alright, Well we're you know, I
Speaker 1: can't wait to hear from the people who are who
Speaker 1: have diamond hands in our mentions. I will just ask
Speaker 1: that you know we will put this explainer two and
Speaker 1: a half hour long, so but we will put it
Speaker 1: in the footnotes of this episode. Please watch that before
Speaker 1: you tell us that we're full of ship. Please, Hey
Speaker 1: q Q followers, please watch Q into the Storm before responding.
Speaker 1: But I don't know, I mean like, but I mean
Speaker 1: I feel like in this case, they're like some well
Speaker 1: meaning people who just believe, you know, the central myth
Speaker 1: of this thing. I know people who have made a
Speaker 1: lot of money. Have a friend who made a ton
Speaker 1: of money right off crypto, and he's not like wealthy
Speaker 1: by any stretch of the imagination, but he took a
Speaker 1: really big swing and it paid off for him. And
Speaker 1: you know that that's only gotten him interested in all
Speaker 1: the other sort of imaginations of this this new industry.
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm curious to see I almost got
Speaker 1: to check in im, like, yo, what, what how's your
Speaker 1: how's your ship looking him? Since the weekend? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's also absurdly easy to steal and all sorts
Speaker 1: of security issues, And yeah, my main thing is like
Speaker 1: that's it's is a testament to like where we're at
Speaker 1: that rather than you know, we're faced with global problems
Speaker 1: that need to be fixed. And rather than like, uh,
Speaker 1: putting wealth towards that this, we've chosen to like just
Speaker 1: create a casino essentially that like plays by the rules
Speaker 1: of Hey, look, if you like gambling, they're hop on
Speaker 1: in man no shape to you. But you know, don't
Speaker 1: that's what it is. I don't think it's doing the
Speaker 1: thing that they're saying it's it is, or that it's
Speaker 1: fully the future of like decentralization of like a financial system,
Speaker 1: because look at the boards. Yeah, yeah, it does seem
Speaker 1: like the that that was the thing that I was
Speaker 1: still like, but that seems cool when when we talked
Speaker 1: about in the past, and you know, according to this explainer,
Speaker 1: it does seem like that the system is like inherently
Speaker 1: flawed so that the second it gets big enough to
Speaker 1: do anything of value, it becomes too easy to you know,
Speaker 1: manipulate and steel and the code is just really buggy
Speaker 1: and fucked. So anyways, anyways, that good luck out there,
Speaker 1: and yeah, yeah, stay tuned for an exciting announcement. We
Speaker 1: will be right back with more and we're back. And
Speaker 1: so the January six Committee seems to be picking up
Speaker 1: a little steam, you know, unclear what that exactly means,
Speaker 1: but they are sending some very strongly worded letters asking
Speaker 1: people to stop by for a chat, that there's big news.
Speaker 1: At the end of last week that Ivanka was being
Speaker 1: asked to stop by. Trump was like, they're going after
Speaker 1: our children, our old adult children. This is how do
Speaker 1: they know? No boundaries? Yeah, so, yeah, it's I don't
Speaker 1: know again, Yeah, it's true. I don't know what this
Speaker 1: the momentum means outside of letters. I'm hoping it means something.
Speaker 1: But it's clear that every time they have these letters,
Speaker 1: they are dropping a little nuggets like so, we know
Speaker 1: what you were texting that day, and this is what
Speaker 1: it was, do you care to come talk about it?
Speaker 1: And like the information that comes out, there's always something
Speaker 1: new you're like, oh wow. Most of the Fox newspeople
Speaker 1: were had a hand in either like trying to consult
Speaker 1: on the build up or the aftermath or what to
Speaker 1: do to try and be like, Okay, maybe we can
Speaker 1: distract them with like separate talk. But it looks like,
Speaker 1: you know, even though they're all in on acting like
Speaker 1: nothing happened. The way that a lot of Republicans are
Speaker 1: speaking in the last few weeks, it sounds like there's
Speaker 1: somewhat aware that there is a lot of tangible evidence
Speaker 1: that something terrible happened and they knew about it and
Speaker 1: participated in it, and they don't like that part. So
Speaker 1: now we have this old ass racist scarecrow new Gingrich
Speaker 1: talking from the field, being like, let me tell you
Speaker 1: what you need to be afraid of, and it's and
Speaker 1: we need to be afraid of the Republicans coming to
Speaker 1: power because people will go to jail. I don't know here,
Speaker 1: just listen to yourself. You're gonna have a Republican majority
Speaker 1: in the House and Republican majority in the Senate, and
Speaker 1: all these people who have been so tough and so
Speaker 1: mean and so nasty are going to be delivered subpoenas
Speaker 1: for every document, every conversation, every tweet, every email. Because
Speaker 1: I think it's clear that these are people who are
Speaker 1: literally just running over the law, pursuing innocent people, causing
Speaker 1: to to spend thousands and thousands of dollars in legal
Speaker 1: fees for no justification. And it's basically a lynch mob.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately the Attorney to the United States has joined
Speaker 1: the lynch mob and is totally misusing the FBI. And
Speaker 1: I think when you have a Republican Congress. This is
Speaker 1: all gonna come crashing down, and the wolves are going
Speaker 1: to find out that they're now cheap and they're the
Speaker 1: ones who are in fact gonna, I think, face a
Speaker 1: real risk of jail for the kind of laws they're breaking. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank that a lot to unpack. True to form, the
Speaker 1: racist scarecrow did his did his best to remind us
Speaker 1: who he is. But just more broadly, I mean at
Speaker 1: the very end, right that the all these laws they're breaking, sir,
Speaker 1: which which laws are those? Like? I don't because again
Speaker 1: this he sort of just started doing this tip for
Speaker 1: tadd He's like, all right, well then we're gonna get it.
Speaker 1: We're gonna subpoena every thing from them, every tweet, every email.
Speaker 1: But these people aren't weren't necessarily architects of an attempted coup,
Speaker 1: So sure you can get their boring emails, but that
Speaker 1: the thrust of the investigation is actually there's there's there's
Speaker 1: a direction, whereas this it's just like we'll we'll make
Speaker 1: we'll make you guys look bad too. No no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. I I was actually with him up until
Speaker 1: saying that they are gonna see gail time, because the
Speaker 1: Republicans are going to win back the House probably and
Speaker 1: then next midterm, like almost definitely, they are going to
Speaker 1: react to that power by then fuel making this like
Speaker 1: Benghazi times ten and like trying to fuel massive like
Speaker 1: investigation into anything having to do with January six commission,
Speaker 1: and then like you know, just to put up a
Speaker 1: smoke screen so that like that becomes the focus and
Speaker 1: then it'll be the actual events of January six are
Speaker 1: gonna be like five levels deep beneath like just layers
Speaker 1: and layers of bullshit, and they will have achieved their
Speaker 1: end there. But the idea that like they're going to
Speaker 1: then go to jail for doing their job is obviously ridiculous,
Speaker 1: and I think he knows it's ridiculous. But this is
Speaker 1: a threat that I think they'll probably make good on.
Speaker 1: Is like making, you know, using their power once they're
Speaker 1: back in power to just be insufferable authoritarian pieces of ship. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we're already sort of seeing that
Speaker 1: that writing on the wall. I think that the actual
Speaker 1: events of January six, as you said, become so buried
Speaker 1: in in like a seven layer dip of disinformation racism,
Speaker 1: like complete bullshit complete. I just said a podcast where
Speaker 1: I couldn't swear and I was I have like, don't
Speaker 1: swear in my head. Podcast probably was impact by a
Speaker 1: zeit coin. It's true. It's true. It should be. If
Speaker 1: they're smart, if they get in early, if they're smart,
Speaker 1: we're unstoppable. Baby. I'm sorry. Yeah, I think we're already
Speaker 1: seeing it being wrapped in so many layers of bullshit
Speaker 1: that people. And I think that's on purpose. I think
Speaker 1: they want people to hear January six and be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm so sick of talking about that. Oh, i don't
Speaker 1: even remember what happened. And I think I'm sad to say.
Speaker 1: I think that that the writing is on the wall
Speaker 1: that that is an effective strategy and they are pursuing it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean I think it's always been an
Speaker 1: effective strategy no matter how you look at it. It's
Speaker 1: just about, hey, look over there, what about that? They
Speaker 1: like they had people in the street too for another reason,
Speaker 1: but we won't dive into the y of that, just
Speaker 1: that there were people in the street on the left
Speaker 1: at one point, and that's not being looked at. Also,
Speaker 1: I mean, what's going on in critical race Theory're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it just does. It spins your head and you'll never
Speaker 1: You'll never arrive at hearing a conversation among conservatives. It's like,
Speaker 1: what really happened, and how do we explain what happened?
Speaker 1: Versus Nope, here you're here your marching orders, folks, just
Speaker 1: completely you're gonna talk about other things. Because I see
Speaker 1: this a lot in like videos I see on the
Speaker 1: internet of like people ranting about the election. They only
Speaker 1: they only talking these Fox News talking points, and then
Speaker 1: like when they get in they when they try and
Speaker 1: really like drill down on what they're saying, it starts
Speaker 1: falling apart, where it's like, no, man, because this is
Speaker 1: part of the tyranny, man that we're seeing. And then
Speaker 1: you know, because you already see it man with with
Speaker 1: what they're doing in the schools man. And then then
Speaker 1: the kids that you know that that that's child abuse,
Speaker 1: and then you're like, okay, wow, like they really found
Speaker 1: a way to get you outraged without knowing what you're
Speaker 1: outraged about. And yeah, it's and it's always I think
Speaker 1: been in an effective strategy. And and I think what's
Speaker 1: clear is that there they definitely don't like that that
Speaker 1: this committee is clearly gathering a lot of really clear
Speaker 1: cut evidence of what happened and who was involved and
Speaker 1: who was saying what when, And it seems like too
Speaker 1: this is also part of new Ingridge having to be like, yo, like,
Speaker 1: I'm not scared, but I'm gonna make threats, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: But I'm not scared. That's the thing. I'm not scared.
Speaker 1: And now you have Matt Gates coming into the fold two,
Speaker 1: because he's someone who's on the brink of vanishing behind
Speaker 1: bars at a certain at some point he's getting in
Speaker 1: saying the same thing, saying you know this, He's like,
Speaker 1: I agree with new Gingridge. He goes on to say, quote,
Speaker 1: it's going to be the days of Jim Jordan and
Speaker 1: Matt Gates and Marjorie Taylor Green and you know what
Speaker 1: we're gonna and you know what we're gonna get answers,
Speaker 1: And then he just started like talking about a bunch
Speaker 1: of just you know, boilerplate right wing grievances. Then goes
Speaker 1: unquote real answers about what happened the election, answers about
Speaker 1: the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and certainly answers about Department
Speaker 1: of Justice and the National security apparatus that has gone
Speaker 1: totally off the rails. Okay, you're currently under investigation, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure you'd love nothing more than to have a
Speaker 1: party take power that can somehow keep you out. But
Speaker 1: do you think there'll be any answers about his ongoing
Speaker 1: investigation on sex trafficking? Is no, Hey, okay, look, hopefully
Speaker 1: that'll go away. But yeah, that's but I mean, like
Speaker 1: that's when you see the kind of people who are
Speaker 1: jumping into They have a lot to lose, and I
Speaker 1: probably feel on some level that the walls definitely are closing,
Speaker 1: and especially you know with Gates, we talked I think
Speaker 1: like three weeks two or three weeks ago. You know,
Speaker 1: his former girlfriend, who was under age at the time,
Speaker 1: went to go speak to give testimony about their relationship.
Speaker 1: So it's yeah, I don't know, I mean, but the
Speaker 1: what's clear is that they are motivated. They're very, very
Speaker 1: motivated because I'm sure even if there was like a
Speaker 1: twenty page report, they do everything in their power to
Speaker 1: be like, we can't that's all lies legally gathered documentation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and just it's like, what what is happening with the
Speaker 1: Republican Party in the past year? Like since Trump was
Speaker 1: out of office is probably as disturbing as what was
Speaker 1: happening when he was in office. Like where all those
Speaker 1: like Lincoln projects, Like people who were supposed, you know,
Speaker 1: like the the middle conservatives who like, this thing is
Speaker 1: completely out of any sort of like there's no gravitational
Speaker 1: core to like the Republican universe. It's all just like
Speaker 1: what whatever the funk? Anyone wants to say, Like where
Speaker 1: where are those people who are supposed to be like
Speaker 1: I'm here for the Republican Party? Are they were? They?
Speaker 1: Like now they got shouted out of the room and
Speaker 1: there they have nothing else to do, expect except waste
Speaker 1: money on these like advibs that you know, aren't like
Speaker 1: tipping the scales like they think that is. It's like
Speaker 1: it's all their own ego. It's like, well, you can't
Speaker 1: do ship if you used to be a Republican. This
Speaker 1: thing has completely evolved, so the tactics are not are
Speaker 1: not gonna hold up at all. Yeah, It's it makes
Speaker 1: me really sad. I mean, I I currently work in
Speaker 1: like at like advocacy and politics, and I've worked in
Speaker 1: this space for a really long time. And what you know,
Speaker 1: in the beginning of my time in this space. I
Speaker 1: would talk to conservatives, and you know, I didn't agree
Speaker 1: with their policies and things of that, like I thought
Speaker 1: they were bad, but we were having conversations about policies,
Speaker 1: and I can be like, oh, this is a policy
Speaker 1: that I feel like it's not good because X, Y
Speaker 1: and Z. We're no longer having conversations like that. Like
Speaker 1: I spent a lot of my time combating absolute nonsense,
Speaker 1: the things that you just talked about, like oh, they're
Speaker 1: hurting our kids, what's going on with schools? Things that
Speaker 1: are just complete fabrications from extremists on the right. We're
Speaker 1: no longer having conversations about, you know, policy disagreements and
Speaker 1: sort of like you know, subsidenttive disagreements or things that
Speaker 1: we disagree about, you know, the way the country should
Speaker 1: be run, were like wages exactly. We're just combating complete
Speaker 1: nonsense because that's the only thing this party can traffic.
Speaker 1: And that's all they have is like nonsense and scams.
Speaker 1: They don't have anything real to offer anybody even to
Speaker 1: combat right because um, who was it was this Sanna
Speaker 1: who was like, no, I don't think I'm gonna run
Speaker 1: for the Senate because I was basically told if I'm there,
Speaker 1: all I'm gonna do is obstruct anything that happens. There
Speaker 1: won't be any real work. And he like articulated that
Speaker 1: even as a Republicans like someone to run for governor
Speaker 1: because that's what the Senate does. Now, it's like they
Speaker 1: just go and say no, and that doesn't feel like work.
Speaker 1: Whence I was surprised, I'm like, oh, look at you, Mr.
Speaker 1: I want to be upstanding politician, right, I mean, when
Speaker 1: have you ever heard of like a Margie Taylor Green
Speaker 1: or like or a Matt Gates governing? You hear about
Speaker 1: them grandstanding, You hear about them, you know, doing some
Speaker 1: sort of wild stunt when it was the last time
Speaker 1: you heard about any kind of like Paul like actual
Speaker 1: substitutive policy coming out of their mouth. For me, it's
Speaker 1: never I've never heard that many of those guys, especially
Speaker 1: not a policy that would enrich someone's life like everyone's,
Speaker 1: you know, at most, like I'm introducing this bill to
Speaker 1: keep you know, trans children from playing sports, like that's
Speaker 1: that's the that's the platform. It's like, we're here to subtract,
Speaker 1: were to subtract. We're not here to add anything, and
Speaker 1: if we are adding something, it's just more vitriol and
Speaker 1: you know, confusion exactly. It's taking like books by authors
Speaker 1: of color out of libraries. It's not putting money into
Speaker 1: the bank accounts of American families or like meals on
Speaker 1: the table. It's not enriching anybody's life. You're exactly right. Yeah, well, Bridget,
