00:02:08   being who has his thumb up do you think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/128">TS</a>]

00:02:11   kids still get tripped out when they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/131">TS</a>]

00:02:13   think about things like that when you go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/133">TS</a>]

00:02:14   through that like stony like first time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/134">TS</a>]

00:02:17   you really contemplate the idea of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/137">TS</a>]

00:02:19   infinity the first time you wonder if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/139">TS</a>]

00:02:21   we're all seeing this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/141">TS</a>]

00:02:22   color green you think kids these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/142">TS</a>]

00:02:24   millenniums you think they still have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/144">TS</a>]

00:02:25   those kinds of reveries oh yeah I worry [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/145">TS</a>]

00:02:27   that they don't you have to you know I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/147">TS</a>]

00:02:30   bet you get Netflix and you got the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/150">TS</a>]

00:02:32   snapchat you know they don't have to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/152">TS</a>]

00:02:34   contemplate things that are that are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/154">TS</a>]

00:02:36   recursive and hurtful to the brain it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/156">TS</a>]

00:02:38   not you know I think that we didn't have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/158">TS</a>]

00:02:41   them in the popular culture and so when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/161">TS</a>]

00:02:44   you heard when you heard something like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/164">TS</a>]

00:02:46   that in in Animal House [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/166">TS</a>]

00:02:51   well when Donald Sutherland is passing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/171">TS</a>]

00:02:53   adjoin around and they're like you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/173">TS</a>]

00:02:55   it actually had the force of novelty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/175">TS</a>]

00:02:58   sure and I think if you grew up you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/178">TS</a>]

00:03:01   soaked in stuff it would be a little bit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/181">TS</a>]

00:03:04   harder to get to that place but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/184">TS</a>]

00:03:05   absolutely the moment it actually occurs [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/185">TS</a>]

00:03:08   to you I think it still got to be like I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/188">TS</a>]

00:03:12   have a terrible time blowin my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/192">TS</a>]

00:03:13   daughter's mind I've tried so many times [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/193">TS</a>]

00:03:15   I've been I've been trying to get her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/195">TS</a>]

00:03:17   freaked out about infinity for years and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/197">TS</a>]

00:03:19   she still she still hasn't freaked out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/199">TS</a>]

00:03:20   by it by infinity [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/200">TS</a>]

00:03:22   I mean I still struggle with with string [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/202">TS</a>]

00:03:30   theory think about it all the time and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/210">TS</a>]

00:03:32   just can't there's just some things I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/212">TS</a>]

00:03:34   can't resolve yeah I mean does does P [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/214">TS</a>]

00:03:37   equal NP is a big question let's check [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/217">TS</a>]

00:03:40   reddit but we I mean you know multiple [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/220">TS</a>]

00:03:45   universes I mean you could sit and think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/225">TS</a>]

00:03:47   about it at great length [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/227">TS</a>]

00:03:49   still still mind-blowing I think it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/229">TS</a>]

00:03:52   one reason I was so attracted I had very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/232">TS</a>]

00:03:55   little exposure to philosophy before [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/235">TS</a>]

00:03:57   college and then I read up I read some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/237">TS</a>]

00:03:59   existentialist stuff in my my gap year [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/239">TS</a>]

00:04:02   and I got very interested in philosophy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/242">TS</a>]

00:04:05   because it seemed like kind of like you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/245">TS</a>]

00:04:08   know universe in a finger with a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/248">TS</a>]

00:04:09   graduate degree kind of thing like idea [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/249">TS</a>]

00:04:11   of epistemology was very fascinating to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/251">TS</a>]

00:04:13   me like how do we know what we know but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/253">TS</a>]

00:04:16   that would just turn my brain maybe I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/256">TS</a>]

00:04:18   just a simple farm boy from Cincinnati [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/258">TS</a>]

00:04:20   but like that kind of thing would just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/260">TS</a>]

00:04:21   bend my brain you you think therefore [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/261">TS</a>]

00:04:24   you are I did a paper on Descartes I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/264">TS</a>]

00:04:29   remember had then the final paragraph is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/269">TS</a>]

00:04:31   maybe second less paragraph it had this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/271">TS</a>]

00:04:32   very memorable line [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/272">TS</a>]

00:04:34   so who is this guy we call God that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/274">TS</a>]

00:04:38   kind of work I was doing that you need [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/278">TS</a>]

00:04:39   you know don't put Descartes before day [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/279">TS</a>]

00:04:42   horse oh come on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/282">TS</a>]

00:05:02   history of ideas history of ideas and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/302">TS</a>]

00:05:04   did a song about Descartes like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/304">TS</a>]

00:05:09   style like Jonathan Richmond I think I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/309">TS</a>]

00:05:11   could really get into it it was pretty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/311">TS</a>]

00:06:19   yeah I went to the I went to the women's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/379">TS</a>]

00:06:22   March the other day and one of the great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/382">TS</a>]

00:06:24   things about big marches I mean this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/384">TS</a>]

00:06:25   a while back sure this is a how many [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/385">TS</a>]

00:06:27   weeks ago at this point but uh but one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/387">TS</a>]

00:06:29   of the great things about those rallies [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/389">TS</a>]

00:06:31   is that there is always a kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/391">TS</a>]

00:06:35   there's always a sort of a gray area I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/395">TS</a>]

00:06:38   don't I wouldn't personally consider it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/398">TS</a>]

00:06:40   a gray area but some people clearly do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/400">TS</a>]

00:06:42   where they want to use that opportunity [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/402">TS</a>]

00:06:48   to also pitch their their big program oh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/408">TS</a>]

00:06:54   yes and every demonstration whatever is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/414">TS</a>]

00:06:58   of any size I've ever been to you could [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/418">TS</a>]

00:07:02   maybe call them fringe characters but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/422">TS</a>]

00:07:03   you can get you got people with a very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/423">TS</a>]

00:07:05   important message and they're gonna use [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/425">TS</a>]

00:07:06   that as a platform yeah like you know in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/426">TS</a>]

00:07:09   a big rally like that like of course the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/429">TS</a>]

00:07:10   labor unions are there and they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/430">TS</a>]

00:07:13   saying you know we want you to support [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/433">TS</a>]

00:07:16   the labor union because we have a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/436">TS</a>]

00:07:18   women in the Union yes you know and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/438">TS</a>]

00:07:21   you can make a case like oh okay right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/441">TS</a>]

00:07:23   this is a you know absolutely absolutely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/443">TS</a>]

00:07:27   right it's still a co-optation of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/447">TS</a>]

00:07:32   idea but you can kind of go with them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/452">TS</a>]

00:07:35   but there was there were a group of guys [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/455">TS</a>]

00:07:36   standing there all men by the way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/456">TS</a>]

00:07:38   holding a banner that said support the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/458">TS</a>]

00:07:43   freedom struggle of Palestinian women [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/463">TS</a>]

00:07:46   and then they had a bunch of material [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/466">TS</a>]

00:07:50   about how Israel was committing a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/470">TS</a>]

00:07:51   genocide okay and it was like boom all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/471">TS</a>]

00:07:54   right I mean maybe if there were some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/474">TS</a>]

00:07:56   women that were holding that banner it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/476">TS</a>]

00:07:58   might go a little bit further but it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/478">TS</a>]

00:07:59   seems like he just tacked the word woman [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/479">TS</a>]

00:08:00   on to the end of that right sure yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/480">TS</a>]

00:08:03   but they slather not some woman sauce [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/483">TS</a>]

00:08:06   they put some woman sauce on there and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/486">TS</a>]

00:08:07   then there was a group that was like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/487">TS</a>]

00:08:09   protecting the elephants especially the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/489">TS</a>]

00:08:12   women voices like that's a that's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/492">TS</a>]

00:08:15   that's another iteration and then at a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/495">TS</a>]

00:08:17   certain point oh my god I really just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/497">TS</a>]

00:12:37   of it which is kind of fun is marching [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/757">TS</a>]

00:12:53   like fuck yeah this is exactly kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/773">TS</a>]

00:12:57   the story that they're telling a story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/777">TS</a>]

00:12:59   by their presence and that story is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/779">TS</a>]

00:13:02   story that that often gets neglected [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/782">TS</a>]

00:13:04   like you don't we don't as a we don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/784">TS</a>]

00:13:09   typically look at a construction site [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/789">TS</a>]

00:13:10   and and see into it it's just a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/790">TS</a>]

00:13:15   buildings are getting built and we don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/795">TS</a>]

00:13:17   see who's there and we don't see the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/797">TS</a>]

00:13:19   inner politics and when we talk about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/799">TS</a>]

00:13:22   equal pay for equal work or we talk [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/802">TS</a>]

00:13:24   about the workplace we kind of typically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/804">TS</a>]

00:13:25   picture of an office environment yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/805">TS</a>]

00:13:28   but I mean also I mean at first I want [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/808">TS</a>]

00:13:30   to stipulate I am NOT making fun of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/810">TS</a>]

00:13:32   these movements or of this March I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/812">TS</a>]

00:13:33   merely groaning about the situation in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/813">TS</a>]

00:13:36   life but you know you think about go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/816">TS</a>]

00:13:45   stop your story but part of it is that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/825">TS</a>]

00:13:47   like it feels like so many of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/827">TS</a>]

00:13:49   amazing and wonderful and overdue [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/829">TS</a>]

00:13:52   changes that have happened in the last [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/832">TS</a>]

00:13:59   loved by 90% of the people on our side [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/839">TS</a>]

00:14:03   of the aisle and so many of those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/843">TS</a>]

00:14:04   changes are are so threatening as to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/844">TS</a>]

00:14:08   deniable to people on the other side of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/848">TS</a>]

00:14:11   the aisle but this is a good example of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/851">TS</a>]

00:14:14   one that I feel like there's no one in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/854">TS</a>]

00:14:17   America on either side of the aisle [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/857">TS</a>]

00:14:19   ninety-eight percent of the people in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/859">TS</a>]

00:14:21   America I think would look at one of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/861">TS</a>]

00:15:41   that's that mr. frumble drive she's got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/941">TS</a>]

00:15:45   a lot of problems there are plenty of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/945">TS</a>]

00:15:47   cops in Richards Gary's world I don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/947">TS</a>]

00:15:49   know why they don't but sergeant Murphy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/949">TS</a>]

00:15:51   chases careless he literally rides a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/951">TS</a>]

00:15:52   motorcycle onto a Plane full of people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/952">TS</a>]

00:15:54   you're right you're right but but the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/954">TS</a>]

00:16:00   other thing that I saw in this rally [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/960">TS</a>]

00:16:02   that I'm talking about just people that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/962">TS</a>]

00:16:03   were marching very close to me there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/963">TS</a>]

00:16:05   were two women in their 60s and they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/965">TS</a>]

00:16:08   were both about five feet tall and they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/968">TS</a>]

00:16:11   were at first not clearly a couple they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/971">TS</a>]

00:16:16   were just too diminutive ladies in their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/976">TS</a>]

00:16:20   60s but one of them is holding a small [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/980">TS</a>]

00:16:23   hand lettered sign that said that wasn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/983">TS</a>]

00:16:26   like us it wasn't even a sign it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/986">TS</a>]

00:16:27   just kind of like a piece of notebook [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/987">TS</a>]

00:16:29   paper that she had written on and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/989">TS</a>]

00:16:31   laminated and it said we're not going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/991">TS</a>]

00:16:34   back and as the as the March progressed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/994">TS</a>]

00:16:38   I realized oh my god they're they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/998">TS</a>]

00:16:42   married and they give every indication [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1002">TS</a>]

00:16:47   of having been together for 40 years you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1007">TS</a>]

00:16:50   know they're they have the comfort with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1010">TS</a>]

00:16:54   one another that just is like it seems [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1014">TS</a>]

00:16:56   like they've probably been together for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1016">TS</a>]

00:16:58   a long long time and they're not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1018">TS</a>]

00:17:00   demonstrative they're not even really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1020">TS</a>]

00:17:02   holding hands they're just walking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1022">TS</a>]

00:17:05   together with this sign we're not going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1025">TS</a>]

00:17:06   back and it was you know so so powerful [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1026">TS</a>]

00:17:12   and I and I honestly believe having [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1032">TS</a>]

00:17:15   traveled as much as I've been lucky to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1035">TS</a>]

00:17:19   do in America and around the world that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1039">TS</a>]

00:17:22   most people on either side of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1042">TS</a>]

00:17:26   political aisle confronted with these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1046">TS</a>]

00:17:28   two actual human beings are not going to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1048">TS</a>]

00:17:32   be against it the people that are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1052">TS</a>]

00:17:35   against gay marriage are against it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1055">TS</a>]

00:17:37   because they're against an idea that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1057">TS</a>]

00:17:41   they think and they're against a notion [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1061">TS</a>]

00:17:44   that we're trying to cram it down their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1064">TS</a>]

00:17:46   throats or I feel it feels like a like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1066">TS</a>]

00:17:48   threat to their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1068">TS</a>]

00:17:49   idea of what a family is which which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1069">TS</a>]

00:17:51   they would say d legitimizes there it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1071">TS</a>]

00:17:53   again it's like Ghostbusters it's like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1073">TS</a>]

00:17:54   you're ruining my childhood by being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1074">TS</a>]

00:17:56   married right but if they were living in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1076">TS</a>]

00:17:59   a place where they knew these two and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1079">TS</a>]

00:18:01   there are couples like this in Alabama [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1081">TS</a>]

00:18:05   just like there are in Seattle a hundred [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1085">TS</a>]

00:18:07   percent when confronted with actual [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1087">TS</a>]

00:18:10   people pretty much everybody with the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1090">TS</a>]

00:18:13   exception of a few crazy zealots is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1093">TS</a>]

00:18:16   gonna look at them and go oh well I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1096">TS</a>]

00:18:19   I make an exception for my for my aunt [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1099">TS</a>]

00:18:21   and her friend you know like and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1101">TS</a>]

00:18:24   not especially because they're they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1104">TS</a>]

00:18:26   not too vocal about it maybe yeah sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1106">TS</a>]

00:18:28   of like well there's well there's this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1108">TS</a>]

00:18:29   one guy I work with who's really nice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1109">TS</a>]

00:18:31   and he's nearing retirement age and I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1111">TS</a>]

00:18:33   pretty sure he's you know special but he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1113">TS</a>]

00:18:35   could he gets a pass because he's real [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1115">TS</a>]

00:18:36   low-key about it it's not in my face [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1116">TS</a>]

00:18:38   about it and it's not the perfect world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1118">TS</a>]

00:18:40   that we would that we I in the left like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1120">TS</a>]

00:18:45   idealize where everyone is absolutely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1125">TS</a>]

00:18:47   like completely forward-facing about who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1127">TS</a>]

00:18:52   they are and accepted broadly by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1132">TS</a>]

00:18:54   everyone you know it it is a kind of on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1134">TS</a>]

00:18:59   the right side of the aisle there is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1139">TS</a>]

00:19:01   this there's all this tremendous kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1141">TS</a>]

00:19:03   like what we what we think of as a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1143">TS</a>]

00:19:06   prehistoric social thinking but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1146">TS</a>]

00:19:09   confronted by actual people yeah pretty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1149">TS</a>]

00:19:12   much everybody is like you cannot deny a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1152">TS</a>]

00:19:17   thing like that you can't look at them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1157">TS</a>]

00:19:18   and say to their face like no you're not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1158">TS</a>]

00:19:22   you should not be entitled to this you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1162">TS</a>]

00:19:24   should not be entitled to this happiness [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1164">TS</a>]

00:19:25   you do it's nobody would ever stand in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1165">TS</a>]

00:19:27   front of those people I mean the way you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1167">TS</a>]

00:19:29   get the idea some kind of Richard [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1169">TS</a>]

00:19:30   Spencer type like yelling at them but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1170">TS</a>]

00:19:32   like after having a ten minute fifteen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1172">TS</a>]

00:19:33   minute conversation maybe you're on a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1173">TS</a>]

00:19:35   plane or something like that you would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1175">TS</a>]

00:19:36   never you would it would be a hard [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1176">TS</a>]

00:19:38   harder person to turn to them and say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1178">TS</a>]

00:19:39   well I understand what you're trying to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1179">TS</a>]

00:19:41   do here but this is antithetical to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1181">TS</a>]

00:19:42   everything that America is and I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1182">TS</a>]

00:19:44   you're evil yeah I mean and you do see [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1184">TS</a>]

00:19:46   that I mean there are definitely parents [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1186">TS</a>]

00:19:49   that reject their own children fewer and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1189">TS</a>]

00:19:53   farther between [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1193">TS</a>]

00:19:54   I think what's I think what's crazy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1194">TS</a>]

00:19:57   about Trump I know we never talk about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1197">TS</a>]

00:20:00   politics [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1200">TS</a>]

00:20:02   I think what's crazy is that he has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1202">TS</a>]

00:20:06   finally given the lie to the idea that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1206">TS</a>]

00:20:09   the that conservative politically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1209">TS</a>]

00:20:12   conservative people are the scolds and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1212">TS</a>]

00:20:15   the moralizing like finger wag they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1215">TS</a>]

00:20:20   gonna hold privately and publicly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1220">TS</a>]

00:20:22   they're gonna they have a standard that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1222">TS</a>]

00:20:24   they will hold people to for a long time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1224">TS</a>]

00:20:27   you would see that played out in terms [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1227">TS</a>]

00:20:28   of like what you have to make this cake [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1228">TS</a>]

00:20:30   you know you know you don't have to make [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1230">TS</a>]

00:20:31   this cake for gay people or you do not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1231">TS</a>]

00:20:33   have to provide women's health care [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1233">TS</a>]

00:20:36   services because right I mean there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1236">TS</a>]

00:20:39   there's those sorts of things but then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1239">TS</a>]

00:20:41   when you see what's happening with the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1241">TS</a>]

00:20:43   fairly well documented allegations [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1243">TS</a>]

00:20:45   against the president it just doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1245">TS</a>]

00:20:48   seem to matter and Mike Pence is totally [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1248">TS</a>]

00:20:49   cool with it it just doesn't matter [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1249">TS</a>]

00:20:51   right I mean it's not like it's not even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1251">TS</a>]

00:20:53   that I had that Trump had relationships [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1253">TS</a>]

00:20:56   with sex workers while he while his wife [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1256">TS</a>]

00:20:59   was pregnant we had a four month old son [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1259">TS</a>]

00:21:02   duh Trump is famous for for riding on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1262">TS</a>]

00:21:06   that private jet [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1266">TS</a>]

00:21:08   but with that pedophile guy yeah who you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1268">TS</a>]

00:21:12   know would like teenagers like and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1272">TS</a>]

00:21:16   mean he was the source of a lot of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1276">TS</a>]

00:21:17   New York Post stories about Marla maples [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1277">TS</a>]

00:21:20   I mean he was the one that encouraged [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1280">TS</a>]

00:21:22   her to go on say was the best best sex [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1282">TS</a>]

00:21:24   I've ever had he drives in that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1284">TS</a>]

00:21:26   environment of people thinking he's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1286">TS</a>]

00:21:27   very competent horndog but I think it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1287">TS</a>]

00:21:29   really interesting because during the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1289">TS</a>]

00:21:33   Clinton years when when Bill Clinton was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1293">TS</a>]

00:21:35   being pounded for his for his like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1295">TS</a>]

00:21:40   dalliance ah's and his indiscretions and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1300">TS</a>]

00:21:44   his predatory behavior we I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1304">TS</a>]

00:21:48   assumed that that was being motivated by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1308">TS</a>]

00:21:52   this religious right that we've been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1312">TS</a>]

00:21:55   talking about for for 40 years and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1315">TS</a>]

00:21:57   they were that they were pretty and they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1317">TS</a>]

00:22:01   were pursuing this out of a sense of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1321">TS</a>]

00:22:03   this sort of moral like overactive moral [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1323">TS</a>]

00:22:08   indignation about post moral majority [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1328">TS</a>]

00:22:09   whether you agreed with them or not and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1329">TS</a>]

00:22:11   I happened very much not to agree with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1331">TS</a>]

00:22:13   them you'd at least given the creditors [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1333">TS</a>]

00:22:15   well you know whether or not this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1335">TS</a>]

00:22:17   something that they enjoy doing they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1337">TS</a>]

00:22:18   feel by their faith and ethics they are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1338">TS</a>]

00:22:21   obligated to call these things out on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1341">TS</a>]

00:22:23   anybody where they see it right right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1343">TS</a>]

00:22:26   it's a good it's a mr. kind of mission [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1346">TS</a>]

00:22:28   and that gave some clarity to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1348">TS</a>]

00:22:33   division between left and right because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1353">TS</a>]

00:22:36   we on the left could look at them and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1356">TS</a>]

00:22:39   say and see like okay they are bound by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1359">TS</a>]

00:22:42   a code that includes their religion it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1362">TS</a>]

00:22:46   includes their culture and it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1366">TS</a>]

00:22:48   internally consistent so they are they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1368">TS</a>]

00:22:52   are an understandable and worthy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1372">TS</a>]

00:22:53   adversary even if we don't agree I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1373">TS</a>]

00:22:57   we don't agree with a lot of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1377">TS</a>]

00:22:59   fundamental premises but they are acting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1379">TS</a>]

00:23:01   at least they're not inconsistent as far [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1381">TS</a>]

00:23:04   as we can see I'm avoiding the word [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1384">TS</a>]

00:23:06   hypothetical but but at least at least [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1386">TS</a>]

00:23:09   on the face of it they may be in prison [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1389">TS</a>]

00:23:11   I utterly disagree with them but there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1391">TS</a>]

00:23:13   was an internal consistency to their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1393">TS</a>]

00:23:15   their mass hattery [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1395">TS</a>]

00:23:16   but it also contextualized us right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1396">TS</a>]

00:23:19   because as live liberals we were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1399">TS</a>]

00:23:21   progressive we were it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1401">TS</a>]

00:23:23   empathetic we were we were the ones that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1403">TS</a>]

00:23:28   were open minded and now or maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1408">TS</a>]

00:23:34   relativistic there's another word [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1414">TS</a>]

00:23:35   relativistic sure you can see you would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1415">TS</a>]

00:23:37   see the context in something and this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1417">TS</a>]

00:23:39   liberal arts II thing of saying like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1419">TS</a>]

00:23:40   well yes but yes but so we wouldn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1420">TS</a>]

00:23:43   necessarily see it as a zero no one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1423">TS</a>]

00:23:45   right and we were multicultural we were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1425">TS</a>]

00:23:47   able to say like well we you know we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1427">TS</a>]

00:23:50   need to incorporate things from around [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1430">TS</a>]

00:23:53   the world and sometimes these cultural [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1433">TS</a>]

00:23:55   differences can be advantageous you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1435">TS</a>]

00:24:00   it was a kind of m'as how we saw the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1440">TS</a>]

00:24:05   social aspect of left and right and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1445">TS</a>]

00:24:08   wasn't always the case you know back in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1448">TS</a>]

00:24:10   the back before World War two back [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1450">TS</a>]

00:24:14   before the civil rights movement the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1454">TS</a>]

00:24:16   Republican Party was mostly focused on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1456">TS</a>]

00:24:19   economics and they had a pretty liberal [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1459">TS</a>]

00:24:23   view about what a person should be able [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1463">TS</a>]

00:24:25   to do in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1465">TS</a>]

00:24:26   to their own home I'm from a certain [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1466">TS</a>]

00:24:28   libertarian standpoint it was a temple [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1468">TS</a>]

00:24:30   yeah and it was the Democrats that were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1470">TS</a>]

00:24:33   all about segregation and they were all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1473">TS</a>]

00:24:36   about you know the Democrats before [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1476">TS</a>]

00:24:39   World War two were not like socially [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1479">TS</a>]

00:24:42   progressive looks sort of the opposite [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1482">TS</a>]

00:24:45   mm-hmm but now we're in a situation [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1485">TS</a>]

00:24:49   where the where the right side of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1489">TS</a>]

00:24:51   aisle has pretty much for the most part [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1491">TS</a>]

00:24:53   said you know although we're Christians [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1493">TS</a>]

00:24:56   and although we you know we believe in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1496">TS</a>]

00:24:59   God and country we think Trump's doing a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1499">TS</a>]

00:25:01   great job and although he is like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1501">TS</a>]

00:25:04   coke-fueled like prostitute abusing like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1504">TS</a>]

00:25:10   I mean he's basically he personifies [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1510">TS</a>]

00:25:12   everything that we would normally hate [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1512">TS</a>]

00:25:15   disparity at the late 80s yeah we just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1515">TS</a>]

00:25:18   love what he's doing he's just sticking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1518">TS</a>]

00:25:19   it he's sticking it to the Liberals and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1519">TS</a>]

00:25:21   that's what we love but what's crazy is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1521">TS</a>]

00:25:24   the Left have become the scolds like we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1524">TS</a>]

00:25:28   are we are in an era right now where the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1528">TS</a>]

00:25:31   left is extremely moralizing and very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1531">TS</a>]

00:25:35   very much like driven by a by a kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1535">TS</a>]

00:25:39   collective energy that is you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1539">TS</a>]

00:25:45   that's using shame and using a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1545">TS</a>]

00:25:48   the sort of things that we would have 40 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1548">TS</a>]

00:25:50   years ago called moral majority tactics [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1550">TS</a>]

00:25:54   I guess in service of a different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1554">TS</a>]

00:25:56   ideology but but but it's it's a very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1556">TS</a>]

00:26:01   strange role reversal because that's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1561">TS</a>]

00:26:04   thing when I went back to my high school [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1564">TS</a>]

00:26:05   reunion in Anchorage right before the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1565">TS</a>]

00:26:08   election and I talked to a bunch of my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1568">TS</a>]

00:26:11   pals who were all golf pros and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1571">TS</a>]

00:26:17   snowmobile salesmen and and diehard sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1577">TS</a>]

00:26:23   of Trump people yeah they were like you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1583">TS</a>]

00:26:28   don't you don't see what's coming bro [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1588">TS</a>]

00:26:29   and I was like yeah I see what's coming [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1589">TS</a>]

00:26:32   a Hillary Clinton administration where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1592">TS</a>]

00:26:35   the world moves into the future and they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1595">TS</a>]

00:26:37   were like no no no that's not what's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1597">TS</a>]

00:26:40   gonna happen Trump's gonna win and I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1600">TS</a>]

00:26:43   like there's no way in a million years [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1603">TS</a>]

00:26:45   Trump's gonna win he didn't accuse [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1605">TS</a>]

00:26:46   anyone yeah and they were like no no you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1606">TS</a>]

00:26:49   don't see you don't get it you don't see [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1609">TS</a>]

00:26:51   what's happening and in talking to them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1611">TS</a>]

00:26:54   over the course of a long reunion [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1614">TS</a>]

00:26:56   weekend I realized oh they think they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1616">TS</a>]

00:27:01   the fun ones they think they think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1621">TS</a>]

00:27:04   they're hilarious they think they're the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1624">TS</a>]

00:27:05   ones that know how to party they think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1625">TS</a>]

00:27:08   they are the ones who have the real [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1628">TS</a>]

00:27:10   temperature of what America is all about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1630">TS</a>]

00:27:12   the sort of Ted Nugent version of what's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1632">TS</a>]

00:27:17   fun and cool and they looked at me and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1637">TS</a>]

00:27:22   my culture I mean they know I'm fun [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1642">TS</a>]

00:27:23   right but they look at that liberalism [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1643">TS</a>]

00:27:25   and they think you guys aren't fun you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1645">TS</a>]

00:27:28   don't have fun anymore you just are so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1648">TS</a>]

00:27:30   uptight and you're so you know this this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1650">TS</a>]

00:27:33   careless caricature of the left as being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1653">TS</a>]

00:27:36   sort of what we used to say about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1656">TS</a>]

00:27:40   moral majority just like no fun and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1660">TS</a>]

00:27:44   caught up in in our cane and archaic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1664">TS</a>]

00:27:49   ideas about what people are and I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1669">TS</a>]

00:27:54   just like that was kind of that was kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1674">TS</a>]

00:27:56   of when I got off Twitter I realized [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1676">TS</a>]

00:27:57   like oh shit I don't know anything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1677">TS</a>]

00:27:59   anymore [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1679">TS</a>]

00:27:59   I'm in the upside down now yeah I heard [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1679">TS</a>]

00:28:07   something on a political podcast I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1687">TS</a>]

00:28:09   listening to you this morning and guy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1689">TS</a>]

00:28:10   said something that I thought was it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1690">TS</a>]

00:28:13   one of those things where once you you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1693">TS</a>]

00:28:14   can't can't unhear it get such a useful [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1694">TS</a>]

00:28:17   paradigm is there are certain kinds of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1697">TS</a>]

00:28:19   issues where people rarely go back to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1699">TS</a>]

00:28:24   their original feeling people tend to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1704">TS</a>]

00:28:27   only go one way and he said he was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1707">TS</a>]

00:28:30   talking in particular about daca and how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1710">TS</a>]

00:28:32   like once you know these people who are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1712">TS</a>]

00:28:37   daca recipients and like once you've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1717">TS</a>]

00:28:39   once you've met them once you've talked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1719">TS</a>]

00:28:41   to them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1721">TS</a>]

00:28:42   you're very rarely going to become more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1722">TS</a>]

00:28:44   strident about thinking they should be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1724">TS</a>]

00:28:46   thrown out of the country you know I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1726">TS</a>]

00:28:47   mean and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1727">TS</a>]

00:28:48   he also used the example of gay marriage [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1728">TS</a>]

00:28:50   where honestly if a big part of it and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1730">TS</a>]

00:28:53   in addition to certainly obviously I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1733">TS</a>]

00:28:54   mean this is sounds so stupid but stuff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1734">TS</a>]

00:28:56   like you know maybe Ellen DeGeneres but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1736">TS</a>]

00:28:58   stuff like seeing more gay people like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1738">TS</a>]

00:28:59   on TV and knowing more gay people were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1739">TS</a>]

00:29:02   out there that weren't dangerous [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1742">TS</a>]

00:29:03   pedophiles that was certainly a part of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1743">TS</a>]

00:29:04   it but another part of it was like once [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1744">TS</a>]

00:29:06   you it isn't like you know once you meet [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1746">TS</a>]

00:29:08   two women who've been together since the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1748">TS</a>]

00:29:10   1960s yeah and it can be and are very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1750">TS</a>]

00:29:14   smart and charming you don't go oh boy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1754">TS</a>]

00:29:17   you know this makes me even madder about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1757">TS</a>]

00:29:18   this you know I mean there aren't that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1758">TS</a>]

00:29:21   many people who start out Pro gay [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1761">TS</a>]

00:29:22   marriage and then go the other way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1762">TS</a>]

00:29:24   there aren't them people who start out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1764">TS</a>]

00:29:25   Pro daca and go back the other way I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1765">TS</a>]

00:29:27   don't I don't have a huge filter for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1767">TS</a>]

00:29:28   this it's a two-hour old idea to me but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1768">TS</a>]

00:29:30   I'm really interested of this idea like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1770">TS</a>]

00:29:32   how many issues are there like that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1772">TS</a>]

00:29:33   we're once people get enough exposure to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1773">TS</a>]

00:29:36   the actual people they look at the thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1776">TS</a>]

00:29:39   really differently I'm reminded of that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1779">TS</a>]

00:29:41   peanuts comic where Linus is arguing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1781">TS</a>]

00:29:43   with Lucy and he says I love humanity [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1783">TS</a>]

00:29:47   it's people that I hate I I think I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1787">TS</a>]

00:29:52   think that's absolutely true and I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1792">TS</a>]

00:29:53   it is about abstract thinking you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1793">TS</a>]

00:29:57   the once you are once you're capable of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1797">TS</a>]

00:30:02   seeing things at one abstraction which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1802">TS</a>]

00:30:06   by which I mean like not the people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1806">TS</a>]

00:30:09   immediately in front of you but you meet [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1809">TS</a>]

00:30:11   you meet that couple that's been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1811">TS</a>]

00:30:12   together since the 60s and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1812">TS</a>]

00:30:14   extrapolate that to imagine that there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1814">TS</a>]

00:30:16   are more of those that level of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1816">TS</a>]

00:30:20   abstraction because we here in southern [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1820">TS</a>]

00:30:22   Washington you know that there was that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1822">TS</a>]

00:30:23   McSweeney's article the other day that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1823">TS</a>]

00:30:25   that parodied the the journalists that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1825">TS</a>]

00:30:29   are like going around talking to Trump [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1829">TS</a>]

00:30:30   was just literally the next thing I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1830">TS</a>]

00:30:33   going to say yes but there was one of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1833">TS</a>]

00:30:37   those here in Washington where some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1837">TS</a>]

00:30:39   reporter went down to the conservative [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1839">TS</a>]

00:30:43   like southwestern corner of Washington [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1843">TS</a>]

00:30:46   where they grow a lot of cranberries and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1846">TS</a>]

00:30:49   said like you know how does it feel down [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1849">TS</a>]

00:30:52   here now that you know now that we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1852">TS</a>]

00:30:56   cracking down on immigrants and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1856">TS</a>]

00:30:59   sheriff and almost everybody they talked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1859">TS</a>]

00:31:02   to was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1862">TS</a>]

00:31:02   like well we want to crack down on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1862">TS</a>]

00:31:06   immigrants because they are their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1866">TS</a>]

00:31:09   rapists and criminals coming into the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1869">TS</a>]

00:31:11   country but what that law has done is it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1871">TS</a>]

00:31:14   like they came and got my neighbor Pablo [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1874">TS</a>]

00:31:18   who's a great dude and he's he's gonna [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1878">TS</a>]

00:31:22   raper he's been here four years he was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1882">TS</a>]

00:31:24   like he was invaluable to the community [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1884">TS</a>]

00:31:26   and then they came and got those guys [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1886">TS</a>]

00:31:28   that have been working on them but they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1888">TS</a>]

00:31:31   might say every single talking point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1891">TS</a>]

00:31:33   that everybody on the Left has been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1893">TS</a>]

00:31:34   saying right I mean right down to like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1894">TS</a>]

00:31:37   like this like this polish doctor in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1897">TS</a>]

00:31:39   Michigan who doesn't know polish because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1899">TS</a>]

00:31:41   he's been here since he was three right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1901">TS</a>]

00:31:44   that's like you how could you send it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1904">TS</a>]

00:31:46   back there there's not even any place to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1906">TS</a>]

00:31:47   send him back to he's never been there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1907">TS</a>]

00:31:48   and you're like yeah that's that sucks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1908">TS</a>]

00:31:51   that's kind of why we think this is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1911">TS</a>]

00:31:52   bad idea they know but everybody has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1912">TS</a>]

00:31:55   their Pablo right but they don't extend [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1915">TS</a>]

00:31:58   it right they don't extend it to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1918">TS</a>]

00:32:00   abstraction of of and that's why [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1920">TS</a>]

00:32:04   statistics are so interesting like I I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1924">TS</a>]

00:32:08   follow this guy on Twitter named Max [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1928">TS</a>]

00:32:09   roser ro ser who is a statistician and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1929">TS</a>]

00:32:14   he really stays kind of above politics [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1934">TS</a>]

00:32:18   he just puts in numbers [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1938">TS</a>]

00:32:20   I think he's German and he you know not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1940">TS</a>]

00:32:24   to not to stereotype no but he's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1944">TS</a>]

00:32:28   German statistician mm-hmm and and he is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1948">TS</a>]

00:32:32   you know he's always posting these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1952">TS</a>]

00:32:34   graphs and sort of very interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1954">TS</a>]

00:32:37   takes on on things just just crunching [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1957">TS</a>]

00:32:40   the numbers but you look at the numbers [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1960">TS</a>]

00:32:43   and it's like well I mean my mom sent me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1963">TS</a>]

00:32:45   something the other day that was like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1965">TS</a>]

00:32:47   immigrants from sub-saharan Africa have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1967">TS</a>]

00:32:51   such a greater percentage of graduate [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1971">TS</a>]

00:32:54   degrees I mean they're like a moderator [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1974">TS</a>]

00:32:57   college graduation rate then people who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1977">TS</a>]

00:32:59   are born in the United States yeah and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1979">TS</a>]

00:33:01   it's just impossible to argue with the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1981">TS</a>]

00:33:05   statistics but it is but again that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1985">TS</a>]

00:33:09   an abstraction that it's I think much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1989">TS</a>]

00:33:13   easier for people to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1993">TS</a>]

00:33:15   - to see the abstraction in the other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1995">TS</a>]

00:33:18   direction which is well I watch cops [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/1998">TS</a>]

00:33:20   every week and every single person they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2000">TS</a>]

00:33:22   pull over an arrest is black used to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2002">TS</a>]

00:33:25   watch that show therefore every criminal [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2005">TS</a>]

00:33:28   in America is black right because that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2008">TS</a>]

00:33:30   what's on cops and that's that's much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2010">TS</a>]

00:33:36   easier to apprehend then wait a minute [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2016">TS</a>]

00:33:39   the people that are immigrating to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2019">TS</a>]

00:33:40   United States from other countries are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2020">TS</a>]

00:33:42   the best educated and best qualified [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2022">TS</a>]

00:33:46   people because it's really hard to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2026">TS</a>]

00:33:47   immigrate to America you have to put up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2027">TS</a>]

00:33:50   with so much shit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2030">TS</a>]

00:33:51   it's insane yeah and you know and even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2031">TS</a>]

00:33:54   people that are entering the country [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2034">TS</a>]

00:33:56   illegally are people who are aspiring [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2036">TS</a>]

00:34:00   you know they are people that are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2040">TS</a>]

00:34:02   seeking something great and not people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2042">TS</a>]

00:34:07   that are complacent or lazy or dumb you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2047">TS</a>]

00:34:10   know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2050">TS</a>]

00:34:11   nobody makes it all the way to America [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2051">TS</a>]

00:34:13   and gets a shitty job from wherever [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2053">TS</a>]

00:34:17   they're coming from because they are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2057">TS</a>]

00:34:18   just lazy you know they're enterprising [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2058">TS</a>]

00:34:22   but it's you know I don't know speaking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2062">TS</a>]

00:34:27   as someone who's a liberal it's very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2067">TS</a>]

00:34:35   hard for me not to feel like it's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2075">TS</a>]

00:34:40   just that my views are better it's that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2080">TS</a>]

00:34:45   my views are more accurate and that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2085">TS</a>]

00:34:48   all maybe that at least in your own head [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2088">TS</a>]

00:34:50   is slightly better tested well or I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2090">TS</a>]

00:34:54   just just there's so much there's just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2094">TS</a>]

00:34:56   so much reckoning going on about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2096">TS</a>]

00:34:59   strangers there's just so much reckoning [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2099">TS</a>]

00:35:01   going on about millions of people who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2101">TS</a>]

00:35:04   are disadvantaged culturally in a way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2104">TS</a>]

00:35:08   that so many of that 32% are 36% are not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2108">TS</a>]

00:35:13   and yet they have found some way to find [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2113">TS</a>]

00:35:16   a grievant in every cultural improvement [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2116">TS</a>]

00:35:18   in the last 50 years every every time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2118">TS</a>]

00:35:21   somebody who's not them gets something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2121">TS</a>]

00:35:22   it's a zero-sum game like everything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2122">TS</a>]

00:35:24   everything that somebody who has always [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2124">TS</a>]

00:35:26   been treated like shit for their and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2126">TS</a>]

00:35:28   our life gets is necessarily one less [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2128">TS</a>]

00:35:31   thing that they get in their mind that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2131">TS</a>]

00:35:33   tends to be the yeah it tends to be the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2133">TS</a>]

00:35:36   feeling but then like today oh sorry [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2136">TS</a>]

00:35:39   a couple couple weeks ago the president [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2139">TS</a>]

00:35:41   has decided you know because he's saving [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2141">TS</a>]

00:35:43   coal so now he's gonna put a tariff on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2143">TS</a>]

00:35:46   imports of solar energy things so energy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2146">TS</a>]

00:35:49   one of the one of the bright spots if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2149">TS</a>]

00:35:50   you like to coin a pun [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2150">TS</a>]

00:35:52   one of the bright spots in growth like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2152">TS</a>]

00:35:54   one in five new jobs suppose something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2154">TS</a>]

00:35:55   like that as it is in solar it's going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2155">TS</a>]

00:35:57   way way up while Cole's was going way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2157">TS</a>]

00:35:58   way down and now they're making it more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2158">TS</a>]

00:36:00   costly to have this this huge exploding [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2160">TS</a>]

00:36:02   growth growth area that actually could [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2162">TS</a>]

00:36:04   benefit the people who still think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2164">TS</a>]

00:36:05   they're gonna be back in the mind any [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2165">TS</a>]

00:36:07   day now but and that's an example of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2167">TS</a>]

00:36:11   band I think is really intriguing about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2171">TS</a>]

00:36:13   the cultural divide that we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2173">TS</a>]

00:36:15   experiencing right now which is that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2175">TS</a>]

00:36:19   think that there are a lot of people in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2179">TS</a>]

00:36:22   America that will celebrate that event [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2182">TS</a>]

00:36:28   based exclusively on this idea that it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2188">TS</a>]

00:36:35   a it's a big middle finger to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2195">TS</a>]

00:36:39   hippies and I mean I drove across the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2199">TS</a>]

00:36:42   country a couple of years ago when I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2202">TS</a>]

00:36:44   bought my suburban which admittedly is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2204">TS</a>]

00:36:47   hilariously like old janky American [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2207">TS</a>]

00:36:54   truck and through the whole center of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2214">TS</a>]

00:36:57   the country I encountered many many [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2217">TS</a>]

00:36:59   times those guys who are burning coal [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2219">TS</a>]

00:37:01   which is they they put a giant [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2221">TS</a>]

00:37:05   smokestack on their diesel truck and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2225">TS</a>]

00:37:07   they adjust B the mixture so that when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2227">TS</a>]

00:37:14   they slam on the gas it just sends huge [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2234">TS</a>]

00:37:17   black clouds of smoke out of their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2237">TS</a>]

00:37:20   tailpipes with no purpose other than to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2240">TS</a>]

00:37:26   give you that Ted Nugent fuck you and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2246">TS</a>]

00:37:29   they're not driving those trucks in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2249">TS</a>]

00:37:32   middle of San Francisco they're driving [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2252">TS</a>]

00:37:33   them in Nebraska they're saying fuck you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2253">TS</a>]

00:37:35   to the idea of a liberal [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2255">TS</a>]

00:37:40   there aren't any around them they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2260">TS</a>]

00:37:42   just doing it as like as a middle finger [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2262">TS</a>]

00:37:45   to people who aren't even watching and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2265">TS</a>]

00:37:47   that that conviction that that strong [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2267">TS</a>]

00:37:53   strong feeling that the real enemy is is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2273">TS</a>]

00:38:00   this caricature of someone kind of not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2280">TS</a>]

00:38:06   unlike you or I but certainly like we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2286">TS</a>]

00:38:10   we are closer or more adjacent to this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2290">TS</a>]

00:38:12   caricature than we are to the to to like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2292">TS</a>]

00:38:18   the audience and a Darius Rucker concert [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2298">TS</a>]

00:38:21   but but this idea of someone with a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2301">TS</a>]

00:38:28   college degree who thinks they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2308">TS</a>]

00:44:16   truth about the world the whole time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2656">TS</a>]

00:44:18   and I bet that libertarianism combined [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2658">TS</a>]

00:44:22   with that sort of I guess what what now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2662">TS</a>]

00:44:26   we would just describe with with no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2666">TS</a>]

00:44:29   other with no other conditions we would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2669">TS</a>]

00:44:32   just call it patriarchy or patriarchal [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2672">TS</a>]

00:44:34   mentality I mean that's like it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2674">TS</a>]

00:44:38   ribbon through everything yeah and there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2678">TS</a>]

00:44:41   there was a time until recently where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2681">TS</a>]

00:44:47   where our take on that was a lot more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2687">TS</a>]

00:44:51   complex than it is now and it doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2691">TS</a>]

00:44:54   feel like this is a time when we can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2694">TS</a>]

00:44:56   afford to be complex this is another [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2696">TS</a>]

00:44:59   thing that has caused me to to feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2699">TS</a>]

00:45:03   personally like it this is just a time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2703">TS</a>]

00:45:04   for me to sit out and and it's because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2704">TS</a>]

00:45:09   it's very hard for me to look at things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2709">TS</a>]

00:45:11   and not look at them and try to see the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2711">TS</a>]

00:45:15   complexity in them and when you want to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2715">TS</a>]

00:45:18   talk at least publicly now about ideas [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2718">TS</a>]

00:45:20   that are complex you're immediately [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2720">TS</a>]

00:45:23   challenged because it doesn't because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2723">TS</a>]

00:45:26   complexity just doesn't want a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2726">TS</a>]

00:45:28   revolutionary yeah that's right if we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2728">TS</a>]

00:45:30   living in a bicameral world now that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2730">TS</a>]

00:45:33   feels very black and white and so you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2733">TS</a>]

00:45:36   can't say like you can't really approach [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2736">TS</a>]

00:45:40   anything at least publicly at least in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2740">TS</a>]

00:45:43   public-facing way without taking a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2743">TS</a>]

00:45:47   pretty dogmatic side and I just can't I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2747">TS</a>]

00:45:49   just can't swallow it but yeah but you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2749">TS</a>]

00:46:06   spirit and it isn't it isn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2766">TS</a>]

00:46:10   inextricably connected to white [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2770">TS</a>]

00:46:12   supremacy or to patriarchy there there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2772">TS</a>]

00:46:40   lot of there's a lot interesting about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2800">TS</a>]

00:46:42   it there's a lot that's true about it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2802">TS</a>]

00:46:43   and and I think on the right side of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2803">TS</a>]

00:46:47   aisle they feel like they are the ob [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2807">TS</a>]

00:46:51   inheritors or the protectors of some of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2811">TS</a>]

00:46:53   those enshrined ideas and and on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2813">TS</a>]

00:46:59   Left I mean the you know there are a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2819">TS</a>]

00:47:01   of liberal Patriots and I and I include [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2821">TS</a>]

00:47:05   myself like when I see people on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2825">TS</a>]

00:47:08   left say America is a garbage country [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2828">TS</a>]

00:47:11   and always has been I'm like I'm sorry [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2831">TS</a>]

00:47:14   you're wrong like you're just deeply [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2834">TS</a>]

00:47:17   profoundly wrong and that might feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2837">TS</a>]

00:47:19   good to say and that might feel like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2839">TS</a>]

00:47:21   like year on their side of the room I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2841">TS</a>]

00:47:24   mean Jimmy but it was an evolving [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2844">TS</a>]

00:47:25   garbage fire like the the strides were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2845">TS</a>]

00:47:28   taken every few years where things got a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2848">TS</a>]

00:47:30   little better in one way no they were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2850">TS</a>]

00:47:31   not always good and sometimes it does [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2851">TS</a>]

00:47:33   take a miniature revolution but that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2853">TS</a>]

00:47:35   that's what is it the long arc of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2855">TS</a>]

00:47:36   history right is that like things really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2856">TS</a>]

00:47:38   have gotten better in many quantifiable [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2858">TS</a>]

00:47:41   ways for a lot of people and it's taken [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2861">TS</a>]

00:47:43   a long time to get around to other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2863">TS</a>]

00:47:44   people who need that and that progress [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2864">TS</a>]

00:47:46   was being made for a time it's it's that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2866">TS</a>]

00:47:50   progress is still being it's weirdly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2870">TS</a>]

00:47:52   Puttanesca though to find this both [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2872">TS</a>]

00:47:54   sides ISM and going oh well you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2874">TS</a>]

00:47:56   unless you were this kind of person so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2876">TS</a>]

00:47:57   yeah that was true but like we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2877">TS</a>]

00:47:59   working on that that actually is that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2879">TS</a>]

00:48:00   actually is getting better it's yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2880">TS</a>]

00:48:03   it's I mean I know that's super easy for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2883">TS</a>]

00:48:05   me to say but I think there's evidence [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2885">TS</a>]

00:48:07   out there that until fairly recently [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2887">TS</a>]

00:48:08   things really were on a pretty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2888">TS</a>]

00:48:12   interesting upward incline and now now I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2892">TS</a>]

00:48:15   think it's just a waiting I mean hate to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2895">TS</a>]

00:48:16   cut to the chase but a lot of there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2896">TS</a>]

00:48:17   just no demographics King demographics [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2897">TS</a>]

00:48:19   game it's just a matter of waiting to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2899">TS</a>]

00:48:21   age out the assholes well it is but I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2901">TS</a>]

00:48:24   mean I don't think it's easy for you to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2904">TS</a>]

00:48:25   say I think it is I think it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2905">TS</a>]

00:48:27   challenge to remind ourselves that if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2907">TS</a>]

00:48:30   you watch the news every day and if you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2910">TS</a>]

00:48:33   see you know if you see the bad things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2913">TS</a>]

00:48:36   that are being reported in the way that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2916">TS</a>]

00:48:37   the in the way that they are like yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2917">TS</a>]

00:48:39   this feels like a time where we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2919">TS</a>]

00:48:41   falling back or whether it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2921">TS</a>]

00:48:42   evil is ascendant but actually things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2922">TS</a>]

00:48:45   are getting better everyday in everyway [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2925">TS</a>]

00:48:48   and the you know the rule of law is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2928">TS</a>]

00:48:52   gonna triumph and I mean what you don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2932">TS</a>]

00:48:55   think of is ten years ago all the things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2935">TS</a>]

00:48:57   that all the terrible things that were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2937">TS</a>]

00:48:59   happening all the people that were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2939">TS</a>]

00:49:00   getting deported all survived 1968 we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2940">TS</a>]

00:49:03   can survive almost anything well sure [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2943">TS</a>]

00:49:05   would survive 1985 but I mean I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2945">TS</a>]

00:49:09   yeah good you're breaking up a little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2949">TS</a>]

00:49:12   bit oh I'm sorry [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2952">TS</a>]

00:49:26   I think you're all right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2966">TS</a>]

00:49:27   I just I mean I believe in the American [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2967">TS</a>]

00:49:31   experiment I don't believe that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2971">TS</a>]

00:49:33   United States is a trash fire I think if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2973">TS</a>]

00:49:35   you go back to 1780 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2975">TS</a>]

00:49:38   and you look at every other nation on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2978">TS</a>]

00:49:40   earth and compare our founding to theirs [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2980">TS</a>]

00:49:44   or to their status then and if you go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2984">TS</a>]

00:49:47   back to 1900 if you go back to 1865 if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2987">TS</a>]

00:49:51   you go anywhere in history and do a line [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2991">TS</a>]

00:49:54   by line comparison to what was happening [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2994">TS</a>]

00:49:56   in the United States you're gonna find [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2996">TS</a>]

00:49:59   that there aren't very many places that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/2999">TS</a>]

00:50:01   you can look at and say oh wow the US [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3001">TS</a>]

00:50:05   was really evil compared to right I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3005">TS</a>]

00:50:08   the United Kingdom abolished slavery a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3008">TS</a>]

00:50:11   lot sooner than America did but sooner [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3011">TS</a>]

00:50:16   by a factor of 40 years like it's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3016">TS</a>]

00:50:20   like it's not like Britain had outlawed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3020">TS</a>]

00:50:22   slavery in 1500 and we were some kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3022">TS</a>]

00:50:25   South Africa that persisted like it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3025">TS</a>]

00:50:29   an evolving process and you know to look [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3029">TS</a>]

00:50:32   back at the history of American say that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3032">TS</a>]

00:50:34   we're we have blood on our hands is only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3034">TS</a>]

00:50:38   to fail to look back at the history of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3038">TS</a>]

00:50:40   the world and see that everyone has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3040">TS</a>]

00:50:42   blood on their hands that no one there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3042">TS</a>]

00:50:45   no nation on earth that is absolved if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3045">TS</a>]

00:50:50   the nation of Belgium continued to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3050">TS</a>]

00:50:52   exploit their colonies in Africa until [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3052">TS</a>]

00:50:56   the fifties and exploit them in ways [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3056">TS</a>]

00:50:59   that would would you know burn your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3059">TS</a>]

00:51:02   eyebrows oh is that like Congo yeah it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3062">TS</a>]

00:51:05   a dozen colony yeah the Congo which is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3065">TS</a>]

00:51:08   an enormous the the entire Central [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3068">TS</a>]

00:51:13   Africa and they you know they were I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3073">TS</a>]

00:51:16   mean they were brutal there but nobody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3076">TS</a>]

00:51:18   looks at Belgium and says like oh what a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3078">TS</a>]

00:51:20   knee I mean I guess the Belgians do and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3080">TS</a>]

00:51:22   people in Europe that know that story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3082">TS</a>]

00:51:24   but the whole idea that like America is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3084">TS</a>]

00:51:27   a terrible place it's just it's just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3087">TS</a>]

00:51:28   wrong we have been in we have been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3088">TS</a>]

00:51:30   setting the tempo for 200 years for the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3090">TS</a>]

00:51:35   extension and expansion of rights to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3095">TS</a>]

00:51:37   greatest number of people and political [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3097">TS</a>]

00:51:41   rights and social evolution like it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3101">TS</a>]

00:51:43   been happening here and other people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3103">TS</a>]

00:51:47   have other countries have been following [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3107">TS</a>]

00:51:49   in our wake and I know there are a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3109">TS</a>]

00:51:50   of Europeans who want to who want to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3110">TS</a>]

00:51:52   point to their their own country's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3112">TS</a>]

00:51:56   contributions to that but I think you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3116">TS</a>]

00:52:00   would have a hard time making a case [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3120">TS</a>]

00:52:01   that certainly that that many countries [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3121">TS</a>]

00:52:06   in Western Europe have been working on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3126">TS</a>]

00:52:09   that project any earlier than about 1960 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3129">TS</a>]

00:52:12   you know what I mean like I mean so and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3132">TS</a>]

00:52:15   and the United Kingdom obviously like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3135">TS</a>]

00:52:17   separate they have a sort of separate [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3137">TS</a>]

00:52:21   dispensation but they're it's not like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3141">TS</a>]

00:52:23   they've been a liberal democracy this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3143">TS</a>]

00:52:25   whole time but you know it's I'm just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3145">TS</a>]

00:52:29   I'm rehashing something that everybody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3149">TS</a>]

00:52:31   has said every day for over a year now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3151">TS</a>]

00:52:33   but the part the part and why I've read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3153">TS</a>]

00:52:35   about Congress in particular is that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3155">TS</a>]

00:52:38   know whether or not what James Buchanan [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3158">TS</a>]

00:52:43   you know Herbert Hoover warren g harding [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3163">TS</a>]

00:52:45   you know you got you got these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3165">TS</a>]

00:52:47   characters that you run into the maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3167">TS</a>]

00:52:49   aren't the best example of American [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3169">TS</a>]

00:52:51   exceptionalism but like by and large [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3171">TS</a>]

00:52:53   most people who were in the White House [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3173">TS</a>]

00:52:54   at least bought the best lies about you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3174">TS</a>]

00:52:58   got it you got to bring Harding into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3178">TS</a>]

00:52:59   this at least most most people whether [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3179">TS</a>]

00:53:05   or not Bill Clinton is the best human [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3185">TS</a>]

00:53:07   being or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3187">TS</a>]

00:53:08   you know George I mean I'm not here to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3188">TS</a>]

00:53:11   rehabilitate the reputation of george w [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3191">TS</a>]

00:53:12   bush but boy by comparison but i mean at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3192">TS</a>]

00:53:16   least i mean george w bush may have been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3196">TS</a>]

00:53:18   a not very bright dry drunk but i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3198">TS</a>]

00:53:21   in his heart he probably believed a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3201">TS</a>]

00:53:23   of the better truths and and some of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3203">TS</a>]

00:53:25   more interesting lies about america that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3205">TS</a>]

00:53:26   let's we'll be able to get through it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3206">TS</a>]

00:53:27   from week to week and certainly think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3207">TS</a>]

00:53:29   brock obama believed it big time do you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3209">TS</a>]

00:53:31   remember two years ago we still said [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3211">TS</a>]

00:53:34   things like george bush was the worst [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3214">TS</a>]

00:53:36   president i know i know two years and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3216">TS</a>]

00:53:38   now he just seems like uh if we could [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3218">TS</a>]

00:53:43   president knew which side of his body [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3223">TS</a>]

00:53:45   his heart was on right right but but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3225">TS</a>]

00:53:53   setting aside all the narcissism and all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3233">TS</a>]

00:53:54   that kind of stuff but it's somebody who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3234">TS</a>]

00:54:10   mental stuff for now but just even just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3250">TS</a>]

00:57:06   and and that and so I guess what I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3426">TS</a>]

00:57:08   trying to say is it like I am NOT here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3428">TS</a>]

00:57:10   to whitewash and I choose that word [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3430">TS</a>]

00:57:13   carefully whitewash over the very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3433">TS</a>]

00:57:14   problematic history of the United States [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3434">TS</a>]

00:57:15   but like there is us there is a self [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3435">TS</a>]

00:57:19   fixing nature to America that takes a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3439">TS</a>]

00:57:21   long time that I do believe in I don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3441">TS</a>]

00:57:24   know if I'm always right but I do at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3444">TS</a>]

00:57:26   least believe in that it's just that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3446">TS</a>]

00:57:27   don't believe that's happening right now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3447">TS</a>]

00:57:29   and just even just look at the EPA [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3449">TS</a>]

00:57:31   people are saying it might take 30 years [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3451">TS</a>]

00:57:33   to undo what's already happened to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3453">TS</a>]

00:57:35   EPA there's stuff like that that is just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3455">TS</a>]

00:57:37   like at a time when everything's just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3457">TS</a>]

00:57:39   the environment is just crumbling and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3459">TS</a>]

00:57:41   the numbers are there for all of this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3461">TS</a>]

00:57:44   stuff and nobody's standing up I'm sorry [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3464">TS</a>]

00:57:46   I'm just screaming into the wind that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3466">TS</a>]

00:57:47   like it's so maddening to me that there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3467">TS</a>]

00:57:49   are not the everybo keeps talk about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3469">TS</a>]

00:57:51   grown-ups in the room well you know you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3471">TS</a>]

00:57:52   got 100 grown-ups over here and over 400 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3472">TS</a>]

00:57:54   on this other side like why why aren't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3474">TS</a>]

00:57:56   they being the grown-ups why aren't they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3476">TS</a>]

00:57:57   it's because well some of them some of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3477">TS</a>]

00:57:59   them benefit greatly by being able to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3479">TS</a>]

00:58:01   not get this guy mad at them on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3481">TS</a>]

00:58:03   internet and then there are other people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3483">TS</a>]

00:58:05   I guess they just they just don't have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3485">TS</a>]

00:58:07   the political will or votes to be able [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3487">TS</a>]

00:58:11   to do anything of substance but like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3491">TS</a>]

00:58:13   seriously like what does it gonna take [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3493">TS</a>]

00:58:15   you know to get anywhere to with near [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3495">TS</a>]

00:58:18   back to where we could be to just even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3498">TS</a>]

00:58:20   even get back there's stuff that is as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3500">TS</a>]

00:58:22   bad as the 50s and 60s right now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3502">TS</a>]

00:58:24   happening that's like we lost like 50 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3504">TS</a>]

00:58:27   years somewhere the thing is that all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3507">TS</a>]

00:58:31   any of us have is the news and and one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3511">TS</a>]

00:58:36   of the things that we always said about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3516">TS</a>]

00:58:37   the Internet from the very beginning was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3517">TS</a>]

00:58:39   that I mean and this was all this was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3519">TS</a>]

00:58:41   often talked about as a strength in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3521">TS</a>]

00:58:43   early days you would be able to tailor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3523">TS</a>]

00:58:45   your news feed so that it fit your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3525">TS</a>]

00:58:49   interests you have met your interests [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3529">TS</a>]

00:58:51   and now we are living in a world where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3531">TS</a>]

00:58:53   you can tailor your news feed and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3533">TS</a>]

00:58:55   everybody's watching their own [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3535">TS</a>]

00:58:56   individual news feed and the one that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3536">TS</a>]

00:58:58   that people like us are watching is in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3538">TS</a>]

00:59:03   full-on panic mode all the time and so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3543">TS</a>]

00:59:07   it looks like a doomsday scenario that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3547">TS</a>]

00:59:11   isn't an accurate picture right this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3551">TS</a>]

00:59:14   whole like the EPA or the the damage to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3554">TS</a>]

00:59:16   the environment is going to take 30 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3556">TS</a>]

00:59:18   years to correct well no it's it's it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3558">TS</a>]

00:59:22   depends on how you read what's going on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3562">TS</a>]

00:59:25   like there is damage being done yes but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3565">TS</a>]

00:59:27   there has been there have been a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3567">TS</a>]

00:59:30   improvements the the damage even during [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3570">TS</a>]

00:59:34   the Obama administration we were still [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3574">TS</a>]

00:59:36   doing a ton of damage it's not like we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3576">TS</a>]

00:59:38   went from from Avatar to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3578">TS</a>]

00:59:42   to Bladerunner in two weeks and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3582">TS</a>]

00:59:45   we'll never get back to avatar like it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3585">TS</a>]

00:59:47   a continuum and and progress is being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3587">TS</a>]

00:59:50   made so on the one hand I just I always [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3590">TS</a>]

00:59:53   caution like you get into a new cycle [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3593">TS</a>]

00:59:56   and it news is built on creating panic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3596">TS</a>]

00:59:59   and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3599">TS</a>]

00:59:59   and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3599">TS</a>]

01:00:00   people mm-hmm it's very very hard to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3600">TS</a>]

01:00:03   take one big step back and not be in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3603">TS</a>]

01:00:06   state of panic because in fact panicking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3606">TS</a>]

01:00:09   feels like action you know it feels like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3609">TS</a>]

01:00:12   you're engaged it feels like you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3612">TS</a>]

01:00:14   doing something to be in a state of like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3614">TS</a>]

01:00:18   anxious like but like anxious stress all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3618">TS</a>]

01:00:24   the time yeah but like my I do believe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3624">TS</a>]

01:00:30   that with Trump there there is no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3630">TS</a>]

01:00:34   putting that genie back into the bottle [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3634">TS</a>]

01:00:36   like something has changed like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3636">TS</a>]

01:00:44   irrevocably but what Trump and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3644">TS</a>]

01:00:48   Congress are I think is a product of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3648">TS</a>]

01:00:53   basically 50 years of ground game that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3653">TS</a>]

01:00:58   the Conservatives have been playing that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3658">TS</a>]

01:01:00   the Liberals have failed at and it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3660">TS</a>]

01:01:04   partly it is in the nature of the two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3664">TS</a>]

01:01:07   animals like liberalism thinks of itself [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3667">TS</a>]

01:01:11   as an over arching worldview that we are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3671">TS</a>]

01:01:16   the people that believe in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3676">TS</a>]

01:01:19   philosopher-king we believe in the idea [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3679">TS</a>]

01:01:22   that if people are educated they will [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3682">TS</a>]

01:01:24   make good choices and that we need to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3684">TS</a>]

01:01:27   bring education to places if people only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3687">TS</a>]

01:01:30   were educated if they could only see [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3690">TS</a>]

01:01:33   then they would naturally be liberals [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3693">TS</a>]

01:01:36   and so that's been our focus for ever [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3696">TS</a>]

01:01:41   since the civil rights movement we need [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3701">TS</a>]

01:01:44   to for instance busing is an example of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3704">TS</a>]

01:01:48   a program where we just wanted people to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3708">TS</a>]

01:01:51   to interact with each other we were we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3711">TS</a>]

01:01:54   were attempting to combat the the kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3714">TS</a>]

01:02:02   of the separatism of the races bite like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3722">TS</a>]

01:02:05   almost force wedging them together and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3725">TS</a>]

01:02:10   this was based on an idealistic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3730">TS</a>]

01:02:14   that we could educate people by showing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3734">TS</a>]

01:02:17   them and that that was going to create [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3737">TS</a>]

01:02:20   this world and on the right they had a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3740">TS</a>]

01:02:25   very much more pragmatic approach to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3745">TS</a>]

01:02:28   American politics which was they said [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3748">TS</a>]

01:02:32   we're going to get people elected to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3752">TS</a>]

01:02:37   local school board and to the County [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3757">TS</a>]

01:02:40   Council and once we get somebody in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3760">TS</a>]

01:02:43   there then we're going to Gerry manned [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3763">TS</a>]

01:02:46   the districts so that the district okay [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3766">TS</a>]

01:02:50   once you get into the tree house we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3770">TS</a>]

01:02:52   gonna pull up the ladder that's right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3772">TS</a>]

01:02:53   we're gonna draw the line now so that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3773">TS</a>]

01:02:56   this district and no longer includes any [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3776">TS</a>]

01:02:58   black neighborhoods and the district is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3778">TS</a>]

01:03:00   going to look like a like a paint [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3780">TS</a>]

01:03:02   splotch but that doesn't matter because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3782">TS</a>]

01:03:04   we're not trying to create a world of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3784">TS</a>]

01:03:08   egalitarianism we're not trying to work [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3788">TS</a>]

01:03:11   according to a premise that all people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3791">TS</a>]

01:03:15   aspire to their highest selves we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3795">TS</a>]

01:03:20   trying to get political power in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3800">TS</a>]

01:03:22   Congress and we're gonna do that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3802">TS</a>]

01:03:24   methodically we're gonna do that with a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3804">TS</a>]

01:03:26   kind of military like strategy and when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3806">TS</a>]

01:03:30   people were getting you know this is 25 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3810">TS</a>]

01:03:32   years ago we started talking about like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3812">TS</a>]

01:03:35   wait a minute all these school boards [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3815">TS</a>]

01:03:36   are denying evolution who are these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3816">TS</a>]

01:03:42   ding-a-lings but from the leftist [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3822">TS</a>]

01:03:45   perspective we were like well that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3825">TS</a>]

01:03:46   just some small-town dumb little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3826">TS</a>]

01:03:49   Oklahoma problem and evolution is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3829">TS</a>]

01:03:53   widely accepted theory any smart person [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3833">TS</a>]

01:03:55   believes in it and so we're not gonna [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3835">TS</a>]

01:03:58   worry about it we're not gonna go try [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3838">TS</a>]

01:04:00   and put our own people on those school [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3840">TS</a>]

01:04:02   boards we're going to assume that things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3842">TS</a>]

01:04:05   are you know that that our higher selves [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3845">TS</a>]

01:04:08   will win and now we're living in a world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3848">TS</a>]

01:04:12   where the the Congress is not made up of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3852">TS</a>]

01:04:17   people who you know who went to college [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3857">TS</a>]

01:04:23   started a successful business had an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3863">TS</a>]

01:04:26   altruistic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3866">TS</a>]

01:04:27   sense of American political process [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3867">TS</a>]

01:04:31   fought in the good war you know and go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3871">TS</a>]

01:04:35   to go to Washington trying to make a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3875">TS</a>]

01:04:37   difference we're looking at a Congress [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3877">TS</a>]

01:04:40   that is full of people that were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3880">TS</a>]

01:04:42   strategically sent there to accomplish a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3882">TS</a>]

01:04:45   pretty narrow mission which is basically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3885">TS</a>]

01:04:51   hamstrung the government limit its power [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3891">TS</a>]

01:04:55   and return the right to decide whether [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3895">TS</a>]

01:05:01   evolution is true or not to the local [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3901">TS</a>]

01:05:04   school board which we've already stacked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3904">TS</a>]

01:05:09   with people and that's the that has been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3909">TS</a>]

01:05:12   the Republican game for 50 years and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3912">TS</a>]

01:05:14   they it's just it's just a strategy and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3914">TS</a>]

01:05:18   on the Left we considered ourselves [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3918">TS</a>]

01:05:21   above that kind of of like college [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3921">TS</a>]

01:05:25   football like ground game and we had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3925">TS</a>]

01:05:27   none our ground game was all devoted to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3927">TS</a>]

01:05:32   [Music] [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3932">TS</a>]

01:05:33   to to again this this basically long [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3933">TS</a>]

01:05:39   history premise which is the more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3939">TS</a>]

01:05:42   educated people are the more affluent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3942">TS</a>]

01:05:44   they are and educated they are the more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3944">TS</a>]

01:05:47   they will take an interest in civics the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3947">TS</a>]

01:05:49   more they will as you were saying you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3949">TS</a>]

01:05:53   know once you have a complex idea you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3953">TS</a>]

01:05:56   very seldom go back to a simple one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3956">TS</a>]

01:05:59   but what we didn't understand was you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3959">TS</a>]

01:06:01   can't just go in someplace hand them a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3961">TS</a>]

01:06:04   complex idea handsome kid a complex idea [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3964">TS</a>]

01:06:07   and all of a sudden that idea Trump's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3967">TS</a>]

01:06:10   his parents and his grandparents and his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3970">TS</a>]

01:06:12   church yeah yeah yeah so anyway we've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3972">TS</a>]

01:06:16   done a very bad job of playing football [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3976">TS</a>]

01:06:18   and the political situation we're in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3978">TS</a>]

01:06:23   right now is is a product of that and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3983">TS</a>]

01:06:28   think that and the Republicans have done [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3988">TS</a>]

01:06:30   or the I'm sorry the conservative side [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3990">TS</a>]

01:06:32   of the country has done a very good job [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3992">TS</a>]

01:06:36   of characterizing us as shrill out of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/3996">TS</a>]

01:06:40   touch because because every time we've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4000">TS</a>]

01:06:43   advanced a really great fairy we also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4003">TS</a>]

01:06:47   it's very easy to pick and choose among [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4007">TS</a>]

01:06:50   the theories promulgated by the left and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4010">TS</a>]

01:06:53   find one that seems bonkers to a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4013">TS</a>]

01:06:57   church-going person in Ohio mm-hmm and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4017">TS</a>]

01:06:59   then all you have to do is put that on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4019">TS</a>]

01:07:01   your brochure and say look what the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4021">TS</a>]

01:07:03   Liberals want us to do you know they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4023">TS</a>]

01:07:06   believe that they believe that all kids [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4026">TS</a>]

01:07:08   should have sex change operations it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4028">TS</a>]

01:07:11   like what's what where did you get that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4031">TS</a>]

01:07:13   you know but that but there are a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4033">TS</a>]

01:07:16   grandmother's in Ohio that that's all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4036">TS</a>]

01:07:18   they need to hear yeah so how do we get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4038">TS</a>]

01:07:21   our ground game back I don't think that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4041">TS</a>]

01:07:25   it's in the nature of liberals to have a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4045">TS</a>]

01:07:27   ground game because we're because we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4047">TS</a>]

01:07:31   that's not how we think but weird we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4051">TS</a>]

01:07:35   have to acknowledge that we're losing in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4055">TS</a>]

01:07:39   a battle between like you know in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4059">TS</a>]

01:07:43   battle between a team that has a ground [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4063">TS</a>]

01:07:45   game we're not doing a good job of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4065">TS</a>]

01:07:47   convincing and I don't know how to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4067">TS</a>]

01:07:51   improve on that I don't know how to how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4071">TS</a>]

01:07:56   to get Neil deGrasse Tyson out to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4076">TS</a>]

01:08:01   world and and I don't think that an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4081">TS</a>]

01:08:06   Oprah presidency is the way but like I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4086">TS</a>]

01:08:10   do like how many women are running for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4090">TS</a>]

01:08:12   office oh it's fantastic Seattle has our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4092">TS</a>]

01:08:15   first female mayor in a hundred years [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4095">TS</a>]

01:08:17   basically yeah I mean I could just think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4097">TS</a>]

01:08:20   of half a dozen reasons why that is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4100">TS</a>]

01:08:22   good and encouraging sign even in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4102">TS</a>]

01:08:25   conservative places I mean you can't you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4105">TS</a>]

01:08:29   can't argue with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4109">TS</a>]

01:08:32   female legislators I think they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4112">TS</a>]

01:08:34   particularly in Congress I think a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4114">TS</a>]

01:08:38   majority female Congress would be such a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4118">TS</a>]

01:08:41   different animal oh my god yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4121">TS</a>]

01:08:43   wouldn't matter whether they were all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4123">TS</a>]

01:08:44   Anita Bryant's I think you would see I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4124">TS</a>]

01:08:48   think you would see a justice just a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4128">TS</a>]

01:08:52   different mentality yeah but I don't I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4132">TS</a>]

01:08:57   don't know what to I don't know what the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4137">TS</a>]

01:09:00   antidote to the present moment and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4140">TS</a>]

01:09:02   feeling that we are on the constant [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEPF61GY/4142">TS</a>]
