How’s it going?
7
00:00:46,700 –> 00:00:47,800
Samantha?
How’s it going?
8
00:00:48,000 –> 00:00:53,000
Okay, okay, all right.
Excited to be in La where we’re
9
00:00:53,000 –> 00:00:55,000
not breathing and wildfires
right now.
10
00:00:55,000 –> 00:01:00,100
Suck that New York are is it
that New York is the one on fire
11
00:01:00,100 –> 00:01:02,300
this time?
It’s because I’m one of the
12
00:01:02,300 –> 00:01:04,700
people that, you know, moved
from New York to LA and a lot of
13
00:01:04,700 –> 00:01:07,200
them are like, do you see this?
Do you see this la like
14
00:01:07,200 –> 00:01:08,700
everything’s a competition
between us?
15
00:01:08,700 –> 00:01:14,200
So like our air sucks to okay.
Yeah, yeah but California bursts
16
00:01:14,200 –> 00:01:17,500
into flames like every winter.
Like you’re hot right now, but
17
00:01:17,500 –> 00:01:21,300
we like are always hot.
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
18
00:01:21,500 –> 00:01:24,400
And on fire before New York.
Yeah.
19
00:01:24,400 –> 00:01:30,000
Like you haven’t been on fire.
We are covering a documentary
20
00:01:30,100 –> 00:01:35,500
about Out the 2020 election.
It’s an ABC News, Australia,
21
00:01:35,800 –> 00:01:37,900
documentary.
But I did like that it was the
22
00:01:37,900 –> 00:01:41,000
Australian because they were
very invested in Rupert Murdoch
23
00:01:41,000 –> 00:01:44,600
and like this is why he went to
America’s to do this fucked-up
24
00:01:44,600 –> 00:01:48,300
shit that you can’t do here to
keep explaining like it’s
25
00:01:48,300 –> 00:01:50,100
different in America.
Yeah.
26
00:01:50,100 –> 00:01:56,000
And normally I would I mean not
seriously have the question but
27
00:01:56,100 –> 00:01:58,900
it is tempting to be like, hey
Australia, what do you fucking
28
00:01:58,900 –> 00:02:00,100
care?
Why don’t you make a
29
00:02:00,107 –> 00:02:02,300
documentary?
About your own elections.
30
00:02:02,600 –> 00:02:05,100
But also, yeah, Rupert Murdoch
is from Australia.
31
00:02:05,100 –> 00:02:07,700
So they get to have a dog in
this fight.
32
00:02:07,700 –> 00:02:10,100
And I have to say, first
impression.
33
00:02:10,300 –> 00:02:12,200
I’ve been watching a lot of
succession.
34
00:02:12,200 –> 00:02:14,300
I’m trying to catch up.
I haven’t quite finished, but I
35
00:02:14,308 –> 00:02:17,600
immediately was like, oh this is
a, this is all the characters
36
00:02:17,600 –> 00:02:20,400
like, this is the royal family.
These are the brothers fighting
37
00:02:20,500 –> 00:02:22,800
for, who’s going on the company.
And like, all of a sudden I’m
38
00:02:22,800 –> 00:02:24,700
the good guy, but are you?
You’re still like a rich guy
39
00:02:24,700 –> 00:02:27,700
doing, like, literally the woman
that runs Fox News.
40
00:02:27,700 –> 00:02:30,600
His exactly like the one that
runs a Janos.
41
00:02:30,800 –> 00:02:33,100
Like oh cool.
It’s like the show.
42
00:02:33,800 –> 00:02:38,300
And I think succession might
partially be based on the
43
00:02:38,300 –> 00:02:42,000
Murdoch family.
It wouldn’t surprise some
44
00:02:42,000 –> 00:02:44,200
inspiration there.
I think.
45
00:02:44,200 –> 00:02:47,600
Definitely, I mean the minute I
realized that it was like, oh
46
00:02:47,600 –> 00:02:51,300
this is like how, you know
Citizen Kane is really about
47
00:02:51,400 –> 00:02:54,800
however, the newspaper guy was
then, I forgot was that Hearst?
48
00:02:54,900 –> 00:03:00,000
That sounds right newspaper guy.
One of those guys, a lot of
49
00:03:00,000 –> 00:03:03,700
things were And after this is a
Four Corners investigation.
50
00:03:03,900 –> 00:03:06,500
I don’t know what that means.
It sounds like it’s just a show
51
00:03:06,500 –> 00:03:10,000
within ABC News, Australia?
Yeah, I think it’s like a
52
00:03:10,008 –> 00:03:12,500
dateline, sort of.
It is what I would assume.
53
00:03:12,500 –> 00:03:16,600
You know with journalist Sarah
Ferguson that name sounded
54
00:03:16,600 –> 00:03:19,800
familiar, but I’ve literally
well, that’s because it isn’t
55
00:03:19,800 –> 00:03:22,500
Sarah Ferguson also the Duchess
of York.
56
00:03:22,700 –> 00:03:26,500
Okay.
Yeah, that’s what I think I was
57
00:03:26,500 –> 00:03:29,100
thinking of, I don’t think this
is the same one though.
58
00:03:29,400 –> 00:03:30,600
Although that would have been
amazing.
59
00:03:30,700 –> 00:03:32,600
I think she stops in the middle
of the pitch.
60
00:03:32,600 –> 00:03:36,200
Wait watch.
Yeah, this is actually Fergie
61
00:03:36,200 –> 00:03:41,500
from the Black Eyed Peas, right?
Also it should start a super
62
00:03:41,500 –> 00:03:46,100
group.
So a lot of this is about how
63
00:03:46,100 –> 00:03:51,200
Donald Trump really caused a
rift within Fox News?
64
00:03:51,300 –> 00:03:55,100
Which shouldn’t surprise anyone
because Donald Trump caused a
65
00:03:55,100 –> 00:03:59,000
rift in everything.
Yeah, I wish that they had like
66
00:03:59,000 –> 00:04:02,900
almost played that up more.
Like they were so dry and, you
67
00:04:02,900 –> 00:04:06,800
know, nose is like journalistic.
But like, you could tell they
68
00:04:06,800 –> 00:04:10,000
really wanted to play on this
angle of like the rift Between
69
00:04:10,000 –> 00:04:13,100
Brothers and it tore apart his
family.
70
00:04:13,300 –> 00:04:14,500
Yeah.
Oh my God.
71
00:04:14,500 –> 00:04:16,000
That’s just it.
Yeah.
72
00:04:16,000 –> 00:04:19,100
I kind of want to see that
documentary or just make it into
73
00:04:19,100 –> 00:04:22,000
a TV show.
Yeah, I have a question about
74
00:04:22,000 –> 00:04:24,700
with accent.
Yeah, there’s just so little
75
00:04:24,700 –> 00:04:28,400
footage of the actual Murdock,
Brothers, you know, and and
76
00:04:28,400 –> 00:04:30,500
Rupert.
It was all like them speaking.
77
00:04:30,900 –> 00:04:33,600
You know, except for that
opening them as little kids
78
00:04:33,600 –> 00:04:36,000
which is I’m like Oh I thought
we were going to go down a very
79
00:04:36,000 –> 00:04:38,300
like Netflix, he kind of
documentary and then it went dry
80
00:04:38,300 –> 00:04:40,800
and it’s took the opening with
her, asking the kid.
81
00:04:40,800 –> 00:04:42,800
Like what’s a good thing about
your father?
82
00:04:43,000 –> 00:04:45,500
Yeah.
And he’s like he takes us
83
00:04:45,500 –> 00:04:48,000
camping.
Yeah, we’re gonna pull on that
84
00:04:48,000 –> 00:04:49,800
thread.
What’s going on here?
85
00:04:49,900 –> 00:04:52,000
My favorite thing that Daddy
does is when he takes us to the
86
00:04:52,000 –> 00:04:56,500
woods.
All alone the forest and we play
87
00:04:56,500 –> 00:04:59,000
games.
It was very like poignant pause
88
00:04:59,000 –> 00:05:00,700
for that.
Yeah.
89
00:05:00,900 –> 00:05:03,500
The other kit in.
Yeah you really see those two
90
00:05:03,500 –> 00:05:07,400
kids Personalities in that
moment because the other kid
91
00:05:07,400 –> 00:05:11,200
when he answers he’s like a
media is vilifying my dad and
92
00:05:11,200 –> 00:05:13,900
it’s like calm down.
You fucking ten-year-old.
93
00:05:13,900 –> 00:05:17,100
Yeah.
And the other one that goes the
94
00:05:17,100 –> 00:05:19,400
other ones like a takes us
camping.
95
00:05:19,400 –> 00:05:23,400
Yeah.
Like British accent but those
96
00:05:23,400 –> 00:05:28,100
are the original Australian just
like too far back and then
97
00:05:28,100 –> 00:05:30,000
there’s the one that defects
later.
98
00:05:30,200 –> 00:05:32,200
Yeah.
I have questions about him.
99
00:05:32,200 –> 00:05:34,400
That’s James murder.
He strikes me as a very Kendall
100
00:05:34,400 –> 00:05:37,400
Roy is what I got.
Ya and they’re like, oh, he’s
101
00:05:37,400 –> 00:05:39,600
more moderate.
And I’m like what does that
102
00:05:39,600 –> 00:05:41,300
mean?
What does that mean coming from
103
00:05:41,300 –> 00:05:44,800
someone who’s still wants to run
Fox News as a conservative
104
00:05:44,800 –> 00:05:47,200
Outlet?
It’s like he probably still
105
00:05:47,200 –> 00:05:49,400
doesn’t think trans people are
people.
106
00:05:49,600 –> 00:05:52,600
He just thinks the election
wasn’t stolen also so it’s like
107
00:05:52,600 –> 00:05:56,100
okay well your moderate then I
feel like yeah that Kendall Roy
108
00:05:56,100 –> 00:06:00,700
Vibe of like you know I just
picture myself as this good guy.
109
00:06:00,900 –> 00:06:03,100
This white night and I’m
different and I’m going to
110
00:06:03,100 –> 00:06:06,300
create change when they’re the
same people with the same
111
00:06:06,600 –> 00:06:07,800
values, really?
Yeah.
112
00:06:07,800 –> 00:06:09,900
Are like when people are like,
isn’t the new pope?
113
00:06:09,900 –> 00:06:12,400
Cool.
It’s like, now, we hope he’s
114
00:06:12,400 –> 00:06:15,300
not, I don’t care if we listen
to the same music, he’s so
115
00:06:15,300 –> 00:06:18,300
fucking Pope.
Yeah, I’m a man of the people.
116
00:06:18,300 –> 00:06:21,200
Except I also just want to run a
different Corporation and be
117
00:06:21,200 –> 00:06:24,200
like my own boss and not be
under my daddy exam.
118
00:06:24,200 –> 00:06:27,400
So different than my daddy.
They talk about the launch of
119
00:06:27,400 –> 00:06:30,500
Fox news.
That happened in 1996, and they
120
00:06:30,500 –> 00:06:34,400
had That fair and balanced
tagline right away, which was
121
00:06:34,400 –> 00:06:37,400
always kind of a lol.
They were never fair and
122
00:06:37,400 –> 00:06:42,700
balanced but I like if you have
to say you are yeah and that’s
123
00:06:42,700 –> 00:06:47,600
not to say that the Publications
on the other side are super fair
124
00:06:47,600 –> 00:06:50,500
and balanced.
They just know not to say that
125
00:06:50,500 –> 00:06:53,300
they are.
I mean, you know, I took one
126
00:06:53,300 –> 00:06:57,400
journalism class in college so I
feel pretty educated
127
00:06:58,300 –> 00:07:00,500
journalistic, integrity and
standards.
128
00:07:00,900 –> 00:07:05,800
Um, you’re always supposed to be
aiming for the most objective
129
00:07:05,800 –> 00:07:09,000
view you can do but you know,
everyone is subjective.
130
00:07:09,000 –> 00:07:12,400
You’re always going to have like
your own, you know, lenses
131
00:07:12,400 –> 00:07:16,500
coloring, how you see events and
you know good journalist take
132
00:07:16,500 –> 00:07:21,500
care to try and write that out,
you know, editors will try and
133
00:07:21,500 –> 00:07:23,500
edit that out.
But then you have things where
134
00:07:23,500 –> 00:07:27,600
like the New York Times will be
like we try and be so objective
135
00:07:27,600 –> 00:07:30,600
that they sometimes won’t
actually take the stance that
136
00:07:30,600 –> 00:07:31,700
you.
Manatee would taste.
137
00:07:31,700 –> 00:07:34,600
It’s like, okay, we also got a
report that was a lot of Donald
138
00:07:34,600 –> 00:07:36,200
Trump things.
It’s like there was a quote,
139
00:07:36,200 –> 00:07:39,400
someone said is like, it was
their job to report what he said
140
00:07:39,700 –> 00:07:42,900
and what his people said.
But they didn’t have to package
141
00:07:42,900 –> 00:07:46,300
it and sell it and you know,
beyond message with it, you
142
00:07:46,300 –> 00:07:47,400
know.
Yeah.
143
00:07:47,400 –> 00:07:53,100
And that I think speaks to a big
problem with the media in this
144
00:07:53,100 –> 00:07:57,800
country which is that they value
access to the government, a
145
00:07:57,800 –> 00:08:02,500
little too much to the point
that it’s like, If we criticize
146
00:08:02,500 –> 00:08:05,700
too much, or if we like
speculate on things that they
147
00:08:05,700 –> 00:08:08,900
haven’t officially told us, then
we’re just going to be barred
148
00:08:08,900 –> 00:08:10,800
from the White House, all
together.
149
00:08:11,200 –> 00:08:14,000
And then how do we do our job?
We, it’s kind of like how TMZ is
150
00:08:14,000 –> 00:08:18,100
about.
Yeah, well, just all these and
151
00:08:18,100 –> 00:08:20,500
social media.
It’s like now that it’s about
152
00:08:20,500 –> 00:08:24,700
access and not just, you know,
being a weird little reporter
153
00:08:24,700 –> 00:08:27,900
outside trying to like, figure
out what’s going on and it’s
154
00:08:27,900 –> 00:08:30,000
about getting access to
interviews and stuff.
155
00:08:30,000 –> 00:08:34,500
People are very Arie, I just I
feel like marketing has been so
156
00:08:34,500 –> 00:08:40,000
insidiously intertwined with
journalism in a way that is
157
00:08:40,299 –> 00:08:41,799
gross.
And people don’t realize like
158
00:08:41,799 –> 00:08:46,200
how PR and public relations.
I also took a class in PR, so
159
00:08:46,200 –> 00:08:52,300
I’m like, really people say, a
lot of things are press
160
00:08:52,300 –> 00:08:54,900
releases.
A press release is sent out by
161
00:08:54,900 –> 00:08:56,900
someone’s people.
That is the official message
162
00:08:56,900 –> 00:08:59,800
they want out there and a
journalist should get a press
163
00:08:59,800 –> 00:09:02,100
release.
Maybe Some quotes tell people
164
00:09:02,100 –> 00:09:04,700
that these are quotes coming
from that person and their
165
00:09:04,700 –> 00:09:08,300
advertising arm and it’s like
their messaging, but a lot of
166
00:09:08,300 –> 00:09:11,400
times reporters are lazy and
they will just pretty much copy
167
00:09:11,400 –> 00:09:15,300
and paste a press release and
sell it as reporting which is
168
00:09:15,300 –> 00:09:17,400
literally just being a funnel
for a marketing team.
169
00:09:17,400 –> 00:09:20,800
You know, it’s like printing an
advertisement but then saying
170
00:09:20,800 –> 00:09:24,300
it’s news and like, that’s been
happening for a long time in
171
00:09:24,300 –> 00:09:29,000
journalism when you start
getting into doing that with
172
00:09:29,000 –> 00:09:32,800
like, politics and world.
The events then sometimes that
173
00:09:32,800 –> 00:09:35,400
marketing team is the CIA that’s
been.
174
00:09:35,400 –> 00:09:39,300
I mean honestly Edward Bernays
is like the father of modern PR
175
00:09:39,300 –> 00:09:41,700
he was like Freud’s nephew said
he was the first one that’s like
176
00:09:41,700 –> 00:09:46,000
you know we make people feel
things, you can sell them ideas,
177
00:09:46,100 –> 00:09:50,300
you know, not right products and
he worked for FDR selling the
178
00:09:50,300 –> 00:09:53,100
New Deal to America.
So this is actually been going
179
00:09:53,100 –> 00:09:55,600
on for a long time.
They’re just getting like both
180
00:09:55,600 –> 00:09:59,500
like horrifyingly good and also
a little sloppy at the same
181
00:09:59,500 –> 00:10:02,700
time.
There’s Book that I did a couple
182
00:10:02,700 –> 00:10:06,100
episodes of this podcast about
that’s called the CIA in the
183
00:10:06,100 –> 00:10:10,000
cult of intelligence.
And it’s the first book, the
184
00:10:10,000 –> 00:10:14,200
American government ever went to
court to try and get censored as
185
00:10:14,200 –> 00:10:18,200
it was a former CIA agent who
just fell out and was like, I’m
186
00:10:18,200 –> 00:10:21,800
going to tell you everything the
CIA does.
187
00:10:22,000 –> 00:10:24,800
And one of the things they
talked about in that book is
188
00:10:24,800 –> 00:10:29,000
that one point the CIA and they
obviously still do this but they
189
00:10:29,000 –> 00:10:33,300
were putting out press releases.
Lisa’s and news stories in other
190
00:10:33,300 –> 00:10:36,600
countries that they knew were
fake, but they were just doing
191
00:10:36,600 –> 00:10:40,300
it to try and cause whatever
reaction they wanted in that
192
00:10:40,300 –> 00:10:43,500
country.
And there were cases where Us
193
00:10:43,500 –> 00:10:47,100
outlets would pick up those
stories and end up reporting
194
00:10:47,100 –> 00:10:51,200
them in the u.s., in the CIA
said, nothing at no point.
195
00:10:51,200 –> 00:10:54,700
Did they step in and go?
Oh, hey, that was just a fake
196
00:10:54,700 –> 00:10:57,700
story that we were spreading
because now the lie that they
197
00:10:57,700 –> 00:11:00,600
want spread in that country is
getting picked up in the US.
198
00:11:00,800 –> 00:11:04,100
To and that just makes it all
the more effective.
199
00:11:04,200 –> 00:11:07,000
Yeah, so yeah.
It’s a lazy way to do your job
200
00:11:07,100 –> 00:11:08,600
if you’re a reporter.
Yeah.
201
00:11:08,600 –> 00:11:10,200
Just not questioning
information.
202
00:11:10,200 –> 00:11:13,100
You’re given is like kind of
your one job is being that
203
00:11:13,100 –> 00:11:14,200
filter.
Yeah.
204
00:11:14,300 –> 00:11:18,600
And at its heart this
documentary is about that like
205
00:11:18,600 –> 00:11:22,900
it’s a whole it’s even worse
than that because this isn’t
206
00:11:22,900 –> 00:11:27,500
just a news organization being
told a story and then reporting
207
00:11:27,500 –> 00:11:29,800
it without checking it.
They knew what they were
208
00:11:29,800 –> 00:11:32,800
reporting.
Was false well getting to the
209
00:11:32,800 –> 00:11:35,500
point and you know they talked
about this where it just becomes
210
00:11:35,500 –> 00:11:41,000
so egregious that they’re at his
rallies so it’s not just
211
00:11:41,000 –> 00:11:44,400
objective reporting.
It’s like this team thing.
212
00:11:44,400 –> 00:11:47,700
Like we’re on this side.
The interview Gretchen Carlson
213
00:11:47,700 –> 00:11:51,400
in this which is interesting
because she says a lot, but then
214
00:11:51,400 –> 00:11:54,500
they get to like a couple
questions and she’s like I have
215
00:11:54,500 –> 00:11:56,100
an NDA.
I can’t say anything.
216
00:11:56,200 –> 00:11:59,400
I mean she even said she’s like
you know her and a few other
217
00:11:59,400 –> 00:12:03,000
women had Actually, approached
Fox News to be released from
218
00:12:03,000 –> 00:12:06,500
their NDS because this I number
for me to and all of that, and
219
00:12:06,500 –> 00:12:08,500
like, I get it.
You’re a woman reporting like
220
00:12:09,000 –> 00:12:11,400
there’s this conflict,
especially when there wasn’t a
221
00:12:11,408 –> 00:12:14,900
movement or an outlet wanting,
that story to be the person to
222
00:12:14,900 –> 00:12:17,900
come out.
You are seated as bitter, angry
223
00:12:17,900 –> 00:12:21,000
looking for attention, all of
this stuff where there’s no
224
00:12:21,000 –> 00:12:23,100
reason for a woman to come.
Tell their story, unless they
225
00:12:23,100 –> 00:12:25,400
really morally feel like it’s
going to make an impact and do
226
00:12:25,400 –> 00:12:27,900
something for someone else.
Otherwise, like, people think
227
00:12:27,900 –> 00:12:30,600
you’re looking for money, which
you’re not, but you don’t get
228
00:12:30,700 –> 00:12:34,000
Get some telling your story
because they probably took money
229
00:12:34,000 –> 00:12:37,200
and damages.
And and as a, you know, result
230
00:12:37,200 –> 00:12:38,900
they had to say, they wouldn’t
tell their story but at the
231
00:12:38,908 –> 00:12:41,100
time, I don’t think they felt
like anyone would have listened
232
00:12:41,100 –> 00:12:42,500
to their stories.
So why wouldn’t they take the
233
00:12:42,500 –> 00:12:46,500
money?
Yeah, and her being in this
234
00:12:46,700 –> 00:12:50,100
actually lends, a lot of
credibility to the story,
235
00:12:50,100 –> 00:12:54,100
they’re telling because despite
her history, with Roger Ailes,
236
00:12:54,300 –> 00:12:59,800
she’s also like, if Roger Ailes
stayed at Fox News, it wouldn’t
237
00:12:59,800 –> 00:13:03,300
have turned into This.
Yeah that was an interesting
238
00:13:03,700 –> 00:13:07,100
section because it was like on
the one hand, they did, you
239
00:13:07,100 –> 00:13:10,100
know, definitely saying, you
know, Roger had those egregious
240
00:13:10,100 –> 00:13:12,600
personal life and no one knew
and whatever he took himself
241
00:13:12,600 –> 00:13:15,600
off, but they’re also like.
But he was good at his job, you
242
00:13:15,600 –> 00:13:19,000
know, there’s like a little bit
of a like, you know, me to like,
243
00:13:19,100 –> 00:13:21,600
sometimes people are horrible,
personal people, but they’re
244
00:13:21,600 –> 00:13:22,900
good.
They’re better at their jobs and
245
00:13:22,900 –> 00:13:25,200
other people and like, where do
we find that line?
246
00:13:25,200 –> 00:13:26,900
I guess.
Yeah, and it’s there could have
247
00:13:26,900 –> 00:13:28,600
been someone better fine to
replace them.
248
00:13:28,600 –> 00:13:30,100
But sure.
Yeah.
249
00:13:30,100 –> 00:13:33,500
And I mean, that’s her being
what Fox News isn’t.
250
00:13:33,500 –> 00:13:36,700
That’s her, being objective
like, you know, does happen
251
00:13:36,700 –> 00:13:39,000
sometimes assholes are horrible.
People are really good at their
252
00:13:39,000 –> 00:13:40,100
jobs.
Yeah.
253
00:13:40,200 –> 00:13:43,400
And it doesn’t make them not
horrible people and it doesn’t
254
00:13:43,400 –> 00:13:46,500
make you a horrible person for
pointing that out.
255
00:13:46,600 –> 00:13:50,000
It’s just, I fucking facts
because things are not good,
256
00:13:50,000 –> 00:13:51,800
team bad team, black and white,
which we love.
257
00:13:51,800 –> 00:13:55,000
And which kind of, you know, is
a driver in this whole divisive
258
00:13:55,000 –> 00:13:57,300
political climate like people
don’t want to be like, wow,
259
00:13:57,300 –> 00:14:00,000
people are complicated and their
Shades of Grey.
260
00:14:00,700 –> 00:14:04,100
Someone to hate can also have
redeeming qualities right now.
261
00:14:04,100 –> 00:14:05,600
It’s just not as long.
Mm.
262
00:14:06,200 –> 00:14:08,600
Yeah.
Like even then at the same time
263
00:14:08,600 –> 00:14:09,700
fuck.
Roger Ailes.
264
00:14:09,800 –> 00:14:15,500
Like I’m glad he got fired and
they make a big point of Fox
265
00:14:15,500 –> 00:14:18,400
News like becoming way less
objective.
266
00:14:18,400 –> 00:14:20,600
After Roger Ailes, it’s like
boom.
267
00:14:20,600 –> 00:14:23,500
Were they ever thought I had a
problem?
268
00:14:23,500 –> 00:14:26,600
Also was I it doesn’t seem like
they really replaced.
269
00:14:26,600 –> 00:14:29,800
Roger Ailes in any major way, it
just became nepotistic and kind
270
00:14:29,800 –> 00:14:33,400
of bumped up.
To the murdochs taking over
271
00:14:33,400 –> 00:14:36,200
would an industry.
They don’t really know how to do
272
00:14:36,200 –> 00:14:39,500
or care about and just using it
as more of a mouthpiece for
273
00:14:39,700 –> 00:14:42,200
their own personal preference.
I thinking of it in a marketing
274
00:14:42,200 –> 00:14:44,800
way, they were like, oh, we’re
following our audience and, you
275
00:14:44,800 –> 00:14:48,500
know, which is not, what news is
not supposed to cater to the
276
00:14:48,500 –> 00:14:50,200
crowd like entertainment, you
know?
277
00:14:50,400 –> 00:14:54,300
Yeah, I get the sense, Roger
Ailes had a very dominating
278
00:14:54,300 –> 00:14:57,400
personality because one of the
other things they talk about is
279
00:14:57,400 –> 00:15:03,200
he just kept Rupert Murdoch out.
The news business like Rupert,
280
00:15:03,200 –> 00:15:07,300
Murdoch was the owner and just
had no say over what was
281
00:15:07,300 –> 00:15:10,000
happening in terms of the news
at Fox.
282
00:15:10,000 –> 00:15:14,300
And then once Roger Ailes left,
that’s when Rupert Murdoch moved
283
00:15:14,300 –> 00:15:19,200
in, and I still don’t completely
by the idea that Fox News was in
284
00:15:19,200 –> 00:15:22,000
anyway, objective before that.
I think they’re saying it was
285
00:15:22,000 –> 00:15:25,100
completely objective, but
they’re like, it was better.
286
00:15:25,300 –> 00:15:28,100
It was never great.
It always lean one way, you
287
00:15:28,100 –> 00:15:30,500
know, but it wasn’t blatantly a
mouse.
288
00:15:30,600 –> 00:15:34,100
Mouthpiece I crank, which is
what it definitely becomes.
289
00:15:34,100 –> 00:15:35,700
Yeah.
They would try and have like
290
00:15:35,700 –> 00:15:39,900
debates and have you know,
Democrats even like they’re even
291
00:15:39,900 –> 00:15:41,200
if just for show.
Yeah.
292
00:15:41,200 –> 00:15:46,400
Hannity and Colmes Combs was the
Democrat on that debate show.
293
00:15:46,600 –> 00:15:49,800
Sean Puff Daddy, Combs.
That’s not bad.
294
00:15:50,400 –> 00:15:53,300
Wow, what is shittier version of
Honeycombs?
295
00:15:56,400 –> 00:15:59,700
And so yeah, they talk to
Gretchen Carlson another guy.
296
00:15:59,700 –> 00:16:02,200
They talk to us.
I found really interesting was
297
00:16:02,200 –> 00:16:06,700
Chris steyer, Walt who was a Fox
News, political editor for 10
298
00:16:06,700 –> 00:16:11,700
years, who becomes really
integral to this story, but I
299
00:16:11,708 –> 00:16:13,100
don’t know.
The remember which one here is,
300
00:16:13,400 –> 00:16:17,800
he’s the guy because a lot of
this centers around the idea
301
00:16:17,800 –> 00:16:22,100
that the 2020 election was
stolen the big lie, Chris
302
00:16:22,500 –> 00:16:25,700
speier, Walt was the guy
working.
303
00:16:25,700 –> 00:16:30,500
The Fox News decision desk, like
the head of the decision desk.
304
00:16:30,600 –> 00:16:35,200
Ask who on Election night called
Arizona for Joe Biden.
305
00:16:35,300 –> 00:16:37,900
Yes.
And almost everyone else.
306
00:16:37,900 –> 00:16:44,000
At Fox News was irate that they
called Arizona for Joe Biden
307
00:16:44,000 –> 00:16:47,100
before anyone else.
Well, can he act like Trump took
308
00:16:47,100 –> 00:16:49,500
that as a personal offense,
right?
309
00:16:49,600 –> 00:16:53,900
He took it as the murdochs not
having his back not being loyal.
310
00:16:54,000 –> 00:16:57,700
And meanwhile this style walk
guys like we should have been
311
00:16:57,700 –> 00:17:01,800
celebrating the fact that we
were first And that we were
312
00:17:01,800 –> 00:17:03,300
right.
Like, that’s what you’re
313
00:17:03,300 –> 00:17:06,599
supposed to do.
Yeah, during election has, you
314
00:17:06,599 –> 00:17:09,700
not only want to be right?
But you want to be first.
315
00:17:09,800 –> 00:17:12,700
It will be for a particular
candidate link.
316
00:17:12,700 –> 00:17:16,099
A blatant thing of like
everything journalism, should be
317
00:17:16,300 –> 00:17:18,300
celebrated for getting the
story.
318
00:17:18,300 –> 00:17:22,000
Correct.
And the fastest was, you know,
319
00:17:22,000 –> 00:17:24,599
they didn’t like it and piece of
like you didn’t serve the
320
00:17:24,599 –> 00:17:26,400
message incorrectly.
Yeah.
321
00:17:26,500 –> 00:17:28,200
What did you think of Susan
Estridge?
322
00:17:28,300 –> 00:17:30,500
So which one was Susan, a
stretch.
323
00:17:30,600 –> 00:17:35,600
Was the Democrat who helped
Roger Ailes kind of form his
324
00:17:35,600 –> 00:17:38,300
defense around those who she’s a
blonde lady.
325
00:17:38,400 –> 00:17:41,500
Blonde lady, deep voice.
Yeah.
326
00:17:41,600 –> 00:17:42,100
Okay.
Yeah.
327
00:17:42,100 –> 00:17:45,400
She reminded me of one, of the
characters in succession to.
328
00:17:45,800 –> 00:17:49,400
Yeah, she did.
Yeah, she’s got those like what
329
00:17:49,400 –> 00:17:52,800
do you do for a living kind of
Vibes where it’s like, he just
330
00:17:52,800 –> 00:17:56,200
you aren’t really sure what she
does but she clearly does
331
00:17:56,200 –> 00:17:58,100
something and she’s very good at
it.
332
00:17:58,200 –> 00:18:02,100
That goes I’m just being like a
You’re like she seems like a
333
00:18:02,108 –> 00:18:04,100
problem solver.
Yeah.
334
00:18:04,100 –> 00:18:06,500
I’m saying a political cleaner
or something.
335
00:18:07,000 –> 00:18:09,100
Yeah, she’s probably had.
People murdered.
336
00:18:09,200 –> 00:18:12,800
Like, that’s what I’m getting at
or helped write this story about
337
00:18:12,800 –> 00:18:14,700
it, right?
Exactly.
338
00:18:14,900 –> 00:18:17,400
They call her under the like,
what do we do about this?
339
00:18:17,600 –> 00:18:21,300
Yeah, to her credit.
She steers Roger Ailes away from
340
00:18:21,300 –> 00:18:25,300
what she calls the nuts, and
sluts defense, which is a
341
00:18:25,900 –> 00:18:30,200
phrase, she coined herself.
And I hope it’s not because she
342
00:18:30,600 –> 00:18:34,100
Lloyd that strategy in the past,
but I feel well she called it
343
00:18:34,100 –> 00:18:35,400
though.
She’s not wrong.
344
00:18:35,500 –> 00:18:38,600
Like, oh something happened,
she’s either crazy.
345
00:18:38,600 –> 00:18:40,900
Or she’s a sludge nuts and
sluts.
346
00:18:41,000 –> 00:18:44,000
I was like, yeah, yeah.
And yeah, to her credit.
347
00:18:44,000 –> 00:18:48,200
She steers Roger Ailes away from
that and she’s like, I’m not
348
00:18:48,300 –> 00:18:49,600
going to help you defend
yourself.
349
00:18:49,600 –> 00:18:53,300
I’ll just help you settle and he
leaves with a shit ton of money.
350
00:18:54,700 –> 00:18:58,100
Gretchen Carlson got a lot of
money and now she can’t talk
351
00:18:58,100 –> 00:19:00,400
about it anymore, which that’s
fair.
352
00:19:00,800 –> 00:19:03,700
Like I feel like I would take, I
think she got 20 million
353
00:19:03,700 –> 00:19:05,700
dollars.
Yeah, I mean, good chunk.
354
00:19:05,900 –> 00:19:09,600
There’s a benefit to telling a
story like, you know, really
355
00:19:09,600 –> 00:19:15,100
just get more criticism and
harassment so it’s like not fun
356
00:19:15,100 –> 00:19:17,300
for women to come out and talk
about what’s happened to them?
357
00:19:17,500 –> 00:19:21,100
Yeah.
Do you remember the Triumph?
358
00:19:21,100 –> 00:19:24,300
The insult comic, dog, election,
special.
359
00:19:24,300 –> 00:19:27,900
That was on Hulu, leading up to
the 2016 election.
360
00:19:28,000 –> 00:19:32,000
Vaguely there is a Crazy scene
in that.
361
00:19:32,000 –> 00:19:36,700
Where Roger Ailes is in it for
like not a while like a while.
362
00:19:36,700 –> 00:19:40,000
He doesn’t just like make a
cameo and there’s one scene in
363
00:19:40,000 –> 00:19:42,600
this is after all of the
allegations of come out but
364
00:19:42,600 –> 00:19:46,600
before he was fired and there’s
a scene where they’re doing it
365
00:19:46,600 –> 00:19:51,600
jokingly, but Roger Ailes is
being interviewed by a female
366
00:19:51,600 –> 00:19:54,700
reporter.
And he’s just staring at her
367
00:19:54,700 –> 00:20:00,500
chest the entire time she talks
and I always felt like that.
368
00:20:00,600 –> 00:20:06,200
It speaks to what kind of person
Roger Ailes must be to like be
369
00:20:06,200 –> 00:20:11,400
in that kind of shit storm of a
new story about you being a sex
370
00:20:11,400 –> 00:20:14,600
Crete and then going on a TV
show that is clearly being
371
00:20:14,600 –> 00:20:18,300
filmed after that has all come
out and being like, yeah, I’m
372
00:20:18,300 –> 00:20:21,300
brace being a fucking sex.
Creep on camera, what’s going to
373
00:20:21,300 –> 00:20:24,400
happen to me?
It’s like, it’s like, when you
374
00:20:24,400 –> 00:20:28,000
start to question like are you
oblivious?
375
00:20:28,600 –> 00:20:31,800
Or do you just really think
you’re that Untouchable?
376
00:20:31,900 –> 00:20:34,300
Yeah.
Like which you want to think
377
00:20:34,300 –> 00:20:37,600
that you’re just an idiot who’s
like that’s habit and you don’t
378
00:20:37,600 –> 00:20:40,500
realize you’re being filmed and
later, we’re like, whoa, whoops.
379
00:20:40,600 –> 00:20:44,400
But if you really just don’t
like nobody fuckin touch me.
380
00:20:44,900 –> 00:20:48,700
There really is a point in
history where Fox News does go
381
00:20:48,700 –> 00:20:52,600
from kind of being just a news
Outlet to being the mouthpiece
382
00:20:52,600 –> 00:20:56,700
of the Trump Administration.
And it is after Roger, Ailes
383
00:20:56,700 –> 00:21:00,900
leaves and Rupert.
Doc comes in and at first, you
384
00:21:00,900 –> 00:21:04,400
think he’s going to cede control
to his sons and he doesn’t at
385
00:21:04,400 –> 00:21:07,000
first and one of them ends up
just leaving.
386
00:21:07,000 –> 00:21:10,100
That’s James.
The one who handle Roy’s.
387
00:21:10,100 –> 00:21:14,200
Yeah, things.
And lachlan’s credit.
388
00:21:14,200 –> 00:21:19,700
Both, at least in terms of the
me to stuff after Gretchen
389
00:21:19,700 –> 00:21:24,000
Carlson went public.
At least in their public words,
390
00:21:24,000 –> 00:21:27,500
they sound like they’re on the
right side of History.
391
00:21:27,500 –> 00:21:32,100
Where They asked Rupert Murdoch
about it and he’s like off, it’s
392
00:21:32,100 –> 00:21:35,700
a bunch of nothing like he acts
so to bother.
393
00:21:35,700 –> 00:21:39,500
This is beneficial for the sons
because there’s a big Power
394
00:21:39,500 –> 00:21:43,600
vacuum for one of them to step
into for their father.
395
00:21:43,600 –> 00:21:46,400
His buddies getting sent up the
river for shit he probably did
396
00:21:46,400 –> 00:21:49,000
with him you know so they’re
gonna have very different views
397
00:21:49,000 –> 00:21:51,200
on it even just from their own
personal.
398
00:21:51,400 –> 00:21:53,300
How’s it going to benefit me?
You know.
399
00:21:53,300 –> 00:21:58,300
Yeah subjectivity and so the
rift between those three because
400
00:21:58,400 –> 00:22:01,600
Um’s enough that like we said
James just leaves and goes to
401
00:22:01,600 –> 00:22:03,100
lick.
Question is James is saying he
402
00:22:03,100 –> 00:22:05,000
doesn’t agree with what’s
happening at Fox News.
403
00:22:05,000 –> 00:22:07,000
I think he goes to do his own
news, right?
404
00:22:07,100 –> 00:22:09,300
Like a different and he’s even
like Fox, they’re doing their
405
00:22:09,300 –> 00:22:10,900
thing over there, but I’m like,
okay.
406
00:22:10,900 –> 00:22:13,100
Or was there a battle for who
was going to lead?
407
00:22:13,100 –> 00:22:16,800
Fox News and you didn’t get it.
Yeah, you know, your brother
408
00:22:16,900 –> 00:22:22,200
will never really know, but it’s
like yeah, which that if that
409
00:22:22,200 –> 00:22:25,300
was the case, it would be smart
of him to come out the other end
410
00:22:25,300 –> 00:22:27,500
and be like, hey, they’re just
too conservative for me.
411
00:22:27,600 –> 00:22:28,200
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
412
00:22:28,400 –> 00:22:30,500
Want me while I’m defecting.
We went to the other side, I’m
413
00:22:30,500 –> 00:22:32,500
going to your competition now.
Yeah.
414
00:22:32,600 –> 00:22:35,900
And I think the fact that I
don’t know where he went or what
415
00:22:35,900 –> 00:22:39,900
he’s doing speaks to how well
that even if he had become a
416
00:22:39,900 –> 00:22:43,700
large because I yeah I never
knew this as part of, you know,
417
00:22:43,700 –> 00:22:46,400
a consuming American Media.
I didn’t know that one of the
418
00:22:46,400 –> 00:22:50,400
roofer Brothers had defected and
gone liberal if he had done that
419
00:22:50,500 –> 00:22:53,600
in a big way where people in
America knew about it, it might
420
00:22:53,600 –> 00:22:55,600
have met something people in
box.
421
00:22:55,600 –> 00:22:57,300
Watchers will, why did his own
son?
422
00:22:57,300 –> 00:22:59,700
Abandon him because they of a
family narrative.
423
00:22:59,700 –> 00:23:01,500
Yeah.
But he didn’t make a big stink
424
00:23:01,500 –> 00:23:04,300
about it until like after shit
went down he kind of had a like
425
00:23:04,300 –> 00:23:07,900
I told you so moment which just
feels Petty and not like a
426
00:23:07,900 –> 00:23:11,800
little genuine and so yeah.
They talk about election night
427
00:23:11,900 –> 00:23:15,300
and Fox News calling Arizona for
Joe Biden.
428
00:23:15,500 –> 00:23:21,200
Which if you’ve looked into the
2020 election theories, the
429
00:23:21,300 –> 00:23:25,300
conspiracy theories around it.
That’s huge because Arizona is
430
00:23:25,500 –> 00:23:30,800
the state where that carried on
the They had carry Lake.
431
00:23:30,800 –> 00:23:35,200
Who was she Governor?
At the time?
432
00:23:35,500 –> 00:23:37,700
I had a very Florida of the West
Vibe.
433
00:23:37,800 –> 00:23:41,500
Yes.
And she was a candidate for
434
00:23:41,600 –> 00:23:47,200
governor and she was so
outspoken about the 20/20
435
00:23:47,200 –> 00:23:52,600
election being stolen especially
in Maricopa County in Arizona,
436
00:23:52,800 –> 00:23:56,100
and that carried on for such a
long time.
437
00:23:56,200 –> 00:24:00,900
So that Fox News is is kind of
the outlet that kicked off that
438
00:24:00,900 –> 00:24:03,400
conspiracy theory.
I find that really interesting
439
00:24:03,500 –> 00:24:07,500
because bad like just major
flashback to the first election
440
00:24:07,500 –> 00:24:09,400
I ever voted.
In Florida, was the hanging
441
00:24:09,400 –> 00:24:10,900
Chads?
I’m from West Palm Beach.
442
00:24:10,900 –> 00:24:13,500
That was Palm Beach County was
the fucking hanging Chads for
443
00:24:13,500 –> 00:24:17,000
months and I’m just like, oh
we’re going back to the
444
00:24:17,000 –> 00:24:20,700
Playbook, it just feels very
similar because they called it
445
00:24:20,700 –> 00:24:22,200
for Arizona.
But then they immediately
446
00:24:22,400 –> 00:24:25,100
backpedaled like the day in the
days after it was clear that
447
00:24:25,100 –> 00:24:28,700
Trump was mad at them, right?
And they could live Like, the
448
00:24:28,700 –> 00:24:32,800
official decision desk, never
backpedaled, but their anchors
449
00:24:32,800 –> 00:24:35,800
are the ones.
Who start pushing the idea that
450
00:24:35,900 –> 00:24:39,800
maybe not only did Trump
actually win Arizona, he won the
451
00:24:39,800 –> 00:24:41,900
entire election.
Well then they get into the
452
00:24:41,900 –> 00:24:46,000
crazy when they start going
after the voting machines.
453
00:24:46,200 –> 00:24:52,800
Yes, which is unhinged, it is
nuts when she gets like that’s
454
00:24:52,800 –> 00:24:55,900
when that woman just implodes
dirt when the reporters.
455
00:24:55,900 –> 00:24:58,800
Like but this is a basic fact,
you could Google.
456
00:24:59,200 –> 00:25:01,400
Yeah, because wants is to get
angry.
457
00:25:01,400 –> 00:25:06,300
I can’t talk about because they
have a passion that was lawyer,
458
00:25:06,300 –> 00:25:10,900
Sydney, Powell.
Who is a crazy person, absolute
459
00:25:11,000 –> 00:25:15,200
and used to be like a federal
official, of course.
460
00:25:15,400 –> 00:25:19,200
Yeah, one of the lassic
sociopath Vibes, she does.
461
00:25:19,300 –> 00:25:23,500
If you look into her background,
this is what she does.
462
00:25:23,600 –> 00:25:26,400
She’s a salesperson.
She’s an attack dog.
463
00:25:26,700 –> 00:25:30,400
Yeah, it’s been cleaned.
To be fair, she’s not a reporter
464
00:25:31,600 –> 00:25:33,200
right?
So she doesn’t have to tell the
465
00:25:33,200 –> 00:25:34,900
truth.
Yeah one of the things that
466
00:25:34,900 –> 00:25:38,600
comes up in this documentary or
one of the focuses of it is the
467
00:25:38,600 –> 00:25:43,200
various lawsuits that were filed
against all of the people
468
00:25:43,200 –> 00:25:48,300
responsible for spreading these
stolen election lies and one of
469
00:25:48,300 –> 00:25:51,800
those companies is smartmatic.
There is this conspiracy out
470
00:25:51,800 –> 00:25:55,700
there that smartmatic was like
the leader of this Nationwide
471
00:25:55,700 –> 00:26:00,400
effort to steal votes and To
alter votes and meanwhile
472
00:26:00,400 –> 00:26:06,100
smartmatic was used in one state
California and only in LA county
473
00:26:06,200 –> 00:26:09,800
which, you know, real digged out
always, Which Way LA County was,
474
00:26:09,800 –> 00:26:13,400
you know, exactly.
And now, yeah, well, like that
475
00:26:13,400 –> 00:26:17,700
also felt personal because, you
know, Trump is a show man and he
476
00:26:17,700 –> 00:26:20,000
wants to be popular and he
considers himself part of
477
00:26:20,000 –> 00:26:21,600
Hollywood because he had a TV
show.
478
00:26:21,800 –> 00:26:23,500
So I feel like he probably took
it personally.
479
00:26:23,500 –> 00:26:25,500
Like, fuck La.
Yeah.
480
00:26:25,500 –> 00:26:27,300
It had to be something like
that.
481
00:26:27,300 –> 00:26:31,100
Like, I feel Like the people who
put this Theory together knew,
482
00:26:31,100 –> 00:26:35,400
it was obviously a lie and I
don’t know, maybe they fed this
483
00:26:35,400 –> 00:26:38,500
to Sydney, Powell Justice.
There’s also like no fuck the
484
00:26:38,500 –> 00:26:40,800
Hollywood Elite.
It’s kind of like, blaming
485
00:26:40,800 –> 00:26:43,500
Hollywood blaming the juice,
right?
486
00:26:43,500 –> 00:26:47,000
The elites, fuck the lizard
people who run Hollywood, they
487
00:26:47,000 –> 00:26:50,100
stole the election somehow but
like blame it on Hollywood.
488
00:26:50,100 –> 00:26:53,200
Not the worst play for
conservatives trying to sell the
489
00:26:53,200 –> 00:26:56,500
rest of the come the country on
this idea who don’t know, Ella
490
00:26:56,500 –> 00:26:59,000
County and think we’re all.
This is a shed.
491
00:26:59,800 –> 00:27:04,200
But but then if that’s the case,
you damn, sure better be ready
492
00:27:04,200 –> 00:27:08,100
to answer the question of.
How many places were smartmatic
493
00:27:08,100 –> 00:27:09,100
voting machines?
Yeah.
494
00:27:09,100 –> 00:27:11,400
When they just like show all the
clips where they are.
495
00:27:11,800 –> 00:27:15,100
Blatantly lying saying like
smartmatic owned the other
496
00:27:15,100 –> 00:27:19,800
company which is not true saying
just like things factually that
497
00:27:19,800 –> 00:27:23,100
aren’t true.
Yeah, Sarah Ferguson, ask sir.
498
00:27:23,300 –> 00:27:26,200
How many places and she was
like, I don’t know, probably too
499
00:27:26,200 –> 00:27:28,100
many to count if I’m being
honest.
500
00:27:28,400 –> 00:27:32,400
And Sarah Ferguson’s like one is
used in one place and you could
501
00:27:32,400 –> 00:27:35,600
have just Googled that she does.
She’s a deflection.
502
00:27:35,700 –> 00:27:36,600
Yes.
He’s like, well there’s
503
00:27:36,600 –> 00:27:39,200
information you don’t know and I
can’t speak about this because
504
00:27:39,200 –> 00:27:41,700
it’s under litigation and
there’s things I cannot talk
505
00:27:41,700 –> 00:27:44,700
about like it just becomes a
holy you just don’t know.
506
00:27:44,700 –> 00:27:46,700
But I also can’t tell you.
Yeah.
507
00:27:46,700 –> 00:27:49,300
Very convenient defense.
Yeah.
508
00:27:49,300 –> 00:27:52,100
And then she has to keep his
hand as he walks out.
509
00:27:52,200 –> 00:27:54,800
Yeah.
That are Kelly on 20/20 moment
510
00:27:54,800 –> 00:27:58,100
where she just stands up and
acts like she’s been so
511
00:27:58,200 –> 00:28:00,100
Aggrieved will see, I said to
the reporter.
512
00:28:00,100 –> 00:28:02,100
I’m starting to question why
you’re even here because if
513
00:28:02,100 –> 00:28:06,600
she’s the conspiracy yeah it’s
like it’s a master class in
514
00:28:06,600 –> 00:28:09,100
sociopathic deflection.
Like instead of answer your
515
00:28:09,100 –> 00:28:12,500
question, I get offended that
you would even ask this and it’s
516
00:28:12,500 –> 00:28:16,900
really typical of pretty much
all of the conspiracy theories
517
00:28:16,900 –> 00:28:20,000
that this group in particular
like Sydney Powell, Rudy
518
00:28:20,000 –> 00:28:22,500
Giuliani, all the stuff they
push.
519
00:28:22,600 –> 00:28:26,600
You eventually hit that wall
where it’s like, alright, show
520
00:28:26,600 –> 00:28:28,600
me the evidence and they’re
like, No.
521
00:28:28,800 –> 00:28:33,500
In one of the best examples of
that is the hunter Biden’s
522
00:28:33,500 –> 00:28:39,400
laptop story, there is actually
a quote from Rudy Giuliani where
523
00:28:39,400 –> 00:28:43,900
someone asked him.
Why he doesn’t just make this
524
00:28:43,900 –> 00:28:47,200
evidence public and just show
people if you’re.
525
00:28:47,200 –> 00:28:50,700
So convinced Hunter Biden is
been involved in all this in his
526
00:28:50,700 –> 00:28:54,900
actual response was because
you’ll just spend time trying to
527
00:28:54,900 –> 00:28:57,600
discredit it and it’s like yeah
man.
528
00:28:57,900 –> 00:29:03,000
That’s What the news outlets are
supposed to do with a story like
529
00:29:03,000 –> 00:29:07,000
this and just saying that
implies that you feel like they
530
00:29:07,000 –> 00:29:10,200
will be able to discredit it
because you’re lying and it’s
531
00:29:10,200 –> 00:29:14,700
like that’s why if I can Trump
supporters that’s why No One
532
00:29:14,700 –> 00:29:17,600
Believes this shit.
I feel like it’s some time to
533
00:29:17,600 –> 00:29:19,000
show people.
You can’t.
534
00:29:19,100 –> 00:29:21,400
You know I started thinking
about this initially way when it
535
00:29:21,408 –> 00:29:24,700
was who is the weird kind of
conservative lady who also was
536
00:29:24,700 –> 00:29:28,100
like power of positive thinking.
I’m not thinking Marjorie Taylor
537
00:29:28,300 –> 00:29:32,500
It was before that she was
running in 2016 or something so
538
00:29:32,500 –> 00:29:34,900
bad with names.
This is harder, I’m a member,
539
00:29:35,100 –> 00:29:36,700
there was one who was like,
Barry.
540
00:29:37,500 –> 00:29:38,900
I’ve started to realize us to
this guy.
541
00:29:38,900 –> 00:29:41,800
Dr. Dispenza, there’s some
people on the fringes of
542
00:29:41,900 –> 00:29:46,200
conservative conspiracy theory
that almost touch on New Age
543
00:29:46,300 –> 00:29:48,600
stuff.
Lots of great secret
544
00:29:48,600 –> 00:29:52,100
manifesting, you know, Power of
Positive Thinking create your
545
00:29:52,100 –> 00:29:55,200
own reality and servants.
Love that shit.
546
00:29:55,200 –> 00:29:57,600
Yeah.
And I think that that’s part of
547
00:29:57,600 –> 00:30:02,200
the, like, Like holding to the
lie with like I think some part
548
00:30:02,200 –> 00:30:06,800
of them is like if I believe
this lie with my whole heart and
549
00:30:06,800 –> 00:30:10,800
my, the full power of my mind, I
can manifest it and make it
550
00:30:10,800 –> 00:30:14,100
real.
This isn’t the power of My Mind
551
00:30:14,200 –> 00:30:19,600
Over The Power of your reality.
Like that’s one of the scary
552
00:30:19,600 –> 00:30:22,400
things about how Trump got
elected.
553
00:30:22,400 –> 00:30:24,500
There’s a liberating power
positive.
554
00:30:24,500 –> 00:30:26,700
Think that, I mean, he kind of
did he?
555
00:30:27,200 –> 00:30:31,700
Well, not just that But there
was this guy who at one point
556
00:30:31,800 –> 00:30:37,100
had a vision that Trump was
ordained by God to be the next
557
00:30:37,100 –> 00:30:38,900
president.
And he had this Vision while
558
00:30:38,900 –> 00:30:45,500
watching Trump speak and he goes
to his therapist and tells them
559
00:30:45,500 –> 00:30:49,400
this and his therapist does not
do what a therapist is supposed
560
00:30:49,400 –> 00:30:51,900
to do.
And you know just talk him
561
00:30:51,900 –> 00:30:55,400
through these weird feelings.
Instead of therapist goes hey
562
00:30:55,400 –> 00:30:59,900
can I put you in touch with a
woman who Izes evangelicals and
563
00:30:59,900 –> 00:31:04,800
the guys like okay, sure.
And she does that, and this guy
564
00:31:04,800 –> 00:31:07,200
ends up being put in touch with
this woman.
565
00:31:07,500 –> 00:31:12,100
I don’t remember her name, but
for the next few months, this
566
00:31:12,100 –> 00:31:16,500
woman starts organizing daily
phone calls where people just
567
00:31:16,500 –> 00:31:20,300
get on the phone and pray for
Donald Trump to become
568
00:31:20,300 –> 00:31:23,200
president.
And by the end, these calls are
569
00:31:23,200 –> 00:31:29,000
like, 250,000 people, strong.
And this is all even Jela colls
570
00:31:29,100 –> 00:31:31,700
who already think?
Well if you think hard enough
571
00:31:31,800 –> 00:31:35,300
and pray hard enough, it’ll
happen and then they do this and
572
00:31:35,300 –> 00:31:39,600
fucking Trump wins.
So now they’re like see it is
573
00:31:39,600 –> 00:31:43,600
God’s plan that Trump become
president and I think that has a
574
00:31:43,600 –> 00:31:45,600
lot to do with.
I think you’re right.
575
00:31:45,600 –> 00:31:49,800
I think that is why people are
holding on to this as hard as
576
00:31:49,800 –> 00:31:53,200
they get people who like my mom
is you know, Jewish from New
577
00:31:53,200 –> 00:31:55,900
York.
We’re always liberal artist and
578
00:31:55,900 –> 00:31:57,700
she was getting into at the end
of her life.
579
00:31:57,700 –> 00:31:59,300
This guy.
Talk to dispenser, who was part
580
00:31:59,300 –> 00:32:01,200
of the reason why she didn’t
think she had cancer treatment.
581
00:32:01,200 –> 00:32:04,600
She was getting herself with a
fucking mind and they’re getting
582
00:32:04,600 –> 00:32:06,800
like, just kind of new agey
people who are never
583
00:32:06,800 –> 00:32:11,100
conservative in this backdoor
channel of like the Cuban on
584
00:32:11,100 –> 00:32:14,700
going to the power of positive
thinking and LP sort of saying
585
00:32:14,700 –> 00:32:16,500
which was kind of wild to me.
That’s why there’s like, a
586
00:32:16,500 –> 00:32:19,700
weird, you know, very, very
conservative, Trump leaning
587
00:32:20,000 –> 00:32:24,400
faction and and Los Angeles.
If you get into the like yoga
588
00:32:24,400 –> 00:32:28,000
healer, all natural whole
movement of the not, they became
589
00:32:28,200 –> 00:32:31,500
On boxers, they became.
Yeah, they get sucked into
590
00:32:31,500 –> 00:32:35,200
conspiracy that way.
There’s like an overlap which I
591
00:32:35,200 –> 00:32:37,400
found fascinating because I’m
like, no it’s not even a,
592
00:32:37,600 –> 00:32:39,400
they’re not even getting them
through the politics.
593
00:32:39,400 –> 00:32:41,100
They’re getting them.
It’s like a call.
594
00:32:41,100 –> 00:32:45,400
They get you through the
emotional pitch first, which is
595
00:32:45,400 –> 00:32:47,300
like, that’s how you get into
most Cults.
596
00:32:47,500 –> 00:32:49,600
Your mind is so powerful, we
understand.
597
00:32:49,600 –> 00:32:51,500
You’re the rest doesn’t we’re
going to change your life, we’re
598
00:32:51,500 –> 00:32:54,700
going to make everything better
and then once you’re in and you
599
00:32:54,700 –> 00:32:57,900
feel that familiar, like these
people are my friends and we’re
600
00:32:57,900 –> 00:33:01,600
all All in this team together
and then they start doing the
601
00:33:01,600 –> 00:33:05,100
crazy shit like slowly like bit
by bit and before, you know it
602
00:33:05,100 –> 00:33:07,200
you’re at a rally Championship.
Yeah.
603
00:33:07,200 –> 00:33:11,300
The universe iming the guy that
broke into Paul Pelosi’s house
604
00:33:11,400 –> 00:33:14,300
and beat him with a hammer.
Like you can just look at that
605
00:33:14,300 –> 00:33:16,600
dude until he’s done a lot of
Surfing.
606
00:33:16,700 –> 00:33:20,700
He probably reeks of Patchouli.
They were like he had a rainbow
607
00:33:20,700 –> 00:33:24,100
flag outside his house and a
black lives matter flag so he
608
00:33:24,100 –> 00:33:27,000
had to be a leftist.
It’s like, no, he doesn’t have
609
00:33:27,000 –> 00:33:29,600
to be.
I mean also the The extremist in
610
00:33:29,600 –> 00:33:32,500
the liberal party.
It’s once you’re an extremist,
611
00:33:32,500 –> 00:33:34,800
you’re more like other
extremists and you are anyone in
612
00:33:34,808 –> 00:33:37,200
the middle and the extreme is in
the liberal party that are like
613
00:33:37,300 –> 00:33:39,000
fuck those assholes that make
you sound.
614
00:33:39,000 –> 00:33:41,900
Exactly like the conservatives
being like fuck those assholes
615
00:33:41,900 –> 00:33:44,400
like you’re both just
villainizing people and not
616
00:33:44,400 –> 00:33:48,400
working on any sort of area for
compromiser Unity.
617
00:33:48,800 –> 00:33:51,500
So, yeah, you’re just the same
part of the problem.
618
00:33:51,500 –> 00:33:53,500
Like you are both assholes.
You’re all assholes.
619
00:33:53,700 –> 00:33:56,700
Stop yelling.
Yeah, that’s the main point of
620
00:33:56,708 –> 00:33:58,500
this episode.
You are all Alas.
621
00:33:58,500 –> 00:34:03,900
Yeah, honestly, shut up.
God.
622
00:34:04,700 –> 00:34:08,400
I I never really I guess I
probably heard at the time and I
623
00:34:08,400 –> 00:34:10,800
don’t know if he ever switched
his position.
624
00:34:10,800 –> 00:34:14,800
But I was surprised that Tucker
Carlson was like the only person
625
00:34:14,900 –> 00:34:18,199
on Fox News who was like, Sydney
Pals fucking crazy came out.
626
00:34:18,199 –> 00:34:19,800
Looking good.
Yeah.
627
00:34:19,900 –> 00:34:23,600
And that is a thing.
I don’t think it came out by the
628
00:34:23,600 –> 00:34:28,900
time this documentary was first
aired but we know now, That
629
00:34:28,900 –> 00:34:32,000
people within fox-like even Lou
Dobbs in the people, they
630
00:34:32,000 –> 00:34:35,400
highlight in this documentary
behind the scenes, they were all
631
00:34:35,400 –> 00:34:38,100
texting each other like man
Trump’s crazy.
632
00:34:38,199 –> 00:34:41,500
Like he obviously lost the
election but then they were
633
00:34:41,500 –> 00:34:44,000
going on the air and still
spreading.
634
00:34:44,100 –> 00:34:47,800
Well he’s I mean also like we
want to, we want to blame
635
00:34:47,800 –> 00:34:49,800
anchors, we want to hold them
responsible because they’re the
636
00:34:49,800 –> 00:34:52,800
face.
We see but yes, any actor, any
637
00:34:52,800 –> 00:34:54,400
performer, all the faces you
see?
638
00:34:54,400 –> 00:34:57,800
On camera are the lowest people
on the totem pole, people who
639
00:34:57,800 –> 00:35:00,300
put The script in front of them
and say, say that we’re all
640
00:35:00,300 –> 00:35:02,500
watching, they’re not writing
the scripts.
641
00:35:02,500 –> 00:35:05,200
Like none of them are in charge
of what they’re saying, like
642
00:35:05,200 –> 00:35:07,600
none of them are in charge of
what’s on that teleprompter,
643
00:35:07,600 –> 00:35:10,400
they’re just there to be a
puppet and smile and look nice
644
00:35:10,400 –> 00:35:14,100
and say it and Lachlan Murdoch,
even kind of says that in the
645
00:35:14,100 –> 00:35:16,300
documentary performers.
Yeah.
646
00:35:16,300 –> 00:35:20,500
They’re showing a clip of him
speaking at like some Ted Talk
647
00:35:20,500 –> 00:35:24,300
kind of thing except he’s being
interviewed and the person’s
648
00:35:24,300 –> 00:35:28,000
like do you write the stories
that Fox News puts out?
649
00:35:28,400 –> 00:35:32,500
Which is a dumb way to ask the
question for one thing and he’s
650
00:35:32,500 –> 00:35:37,000
like, no, I don’t write them.
I just work very closely with
651
00:35:37,000 –> 00:35:40,900
the managers of the various
departments where people write
652
00:35:40,900 –> 00:35:44,200
and guide the stories that they
write, it’s like, okay.
653
00:35:44,200 –> 00:35:47,200
That’s the same thing.
That is essentially the same
654
00:35:47,200 –> 00:35:49,900
thing.
It’s like, hey secretary, take
655
00:35:49,900 –> 00:35:51,700
this down and then like she
wrote it.
656
00:35:52,500 –> 00:35:55,600
Yeah.
And it speaks to why this
657
00:35:55,600 –> 00:36:00,700
lawsuit happened but also So
there’s a part in this where
658
00:36:01,000 –> 00:36:03,900
crisp the fuck’s is named style
wart.
659
00:36:04,000 –> 00:36:07,400
He’s also a right-winger at the
end of the day I’ll have names
660
00:36:07,400 –> 00:36:09,700
that sound like evil characters
in Harry Potter.
661
00:36:10,100 –> 00:36:14,800
You really do yes but Chris
Chris tire wall.
662
00:36:14,800 –> 00:36:20,700
Yeah, the guy from the decision
desk, he brings up that given
663
00:36:20,900 –> 00:36:25,600
Trump’s involvement in this
because they do talk about how
664
00:36:25,600 –> 00:36:28,000
Rupert Murdoch eventually
becomes like.
665
00:36:28,200 –> 00:36:31,700
A pipeline for Trump.
He only saw him getting on the
666
00:36:31,700 –> 00:36:35,300
back of Trumps little golf cart.
Which also feels like very beta.
667
00:36:35,300 –> 00:36:38,600
Like it’s so, because you’re
sitting on the back facing away,
668
00:36:38,600 –> 00:36:41,200
looking like a koi little girl
like on the back of a Harley
669
00:36:41,200 –> 00:36:44,600
like you didn’t get the front
seat brought just like Rupert.
670
00:36:44,600 –> 00:36:47,700
Like yeah that was almost
certainly Trump.
671
00:36:47,800 –> 00:36:50,700
Just the visual just showed you
a status wise words like you’re
672
00:36:50,700 –> 00:36:52,900
getting on the back of his golf
cart and he’s just going to take
673
00:36:52,900 –> 00:36:56,200
you on a little ride, but also
in Rupert Murdoch’s defense, the
674
00:36:56,200 –> 00:36:59,800
president of the United States,
just Flew out of the country to
675
00:36:59,800 –> 00:37:00,900
come.
Visit you.
676
00:37:01,000 –> 00:37:03,100
Yes.
And and they said to Kiss the
677
00:37:03,100 –> 00:37:04,700
Ring.
Yeah.
678
00:37:05,300 –> 00:37:08,900
So now Rupert Murdoch has all
this access to the White House
679
00:37:08,900 –> 00:37:12,600
in his like this direct pipeline
for Trump and they engage in
680
00:37:12,600 –> 00:37:16,900
this conspiracy to spread a
false narrative about the
681
00:37:16,900 –> 00:37:20,600
election in hopes of overturning
the u.s. election.
682
00:37:20,800 –> 00:37:24,700
What that Chris guy brings up is
that’s a way bigger Scandal than
683
00:37:24,800 –> 00:37:27,900
like Watergate.
This is a president taking
684
00:37:28,100 –> 00:37:33,700
Control of a fucking Us Media
Outlet to try and launch a coup.
685
00:37:33,700 –> 00:37:36,100
Basically like this is so much
bigger.
686
00:37:36,200 –> 00:37:40,000
Yeah, it’s pretty wild.
But Watergate I think in general
687
00:37:40,000 –> 00:37:44,200
we need to stop acting like that
is the Pinnacle of American
688
00:37:44,400 –> 00:37:47,900
misdeeds, like that’s like on
the list.
689
00:37:47,900 –> 00:37:52,100
The reason that we can do that,
is that by the time that
690
00:37:52,100 –> 00:37:55,200
happened, everyone kind of hated
Nixon.
691
00:37:55,200 –> 00:37:57,900
Like even conservatives, they
look great.
692
00:37:58,000 –> 00:38:02,400
A again, but they don’t love
Nixon as much because he was
693
00:38:02,400 –> 00:38:05,400
just, so, it was right at the
beginning of media to, like
694
00:38:05,400 –> 00:38:09,100
presidents weren’t as media
Savvy, and he was, he his media
695
00:38:09,100 –> 00:38:13,300
presence was not curated enough.
He was unlikable, he kind of
696
00:38:13,300 –> 00:38:16,000
burned, both sides, it was
interesting to see about how
697
00:38:16,000 –> 00:38:19,100
access change things.
I got really into Laughin at 1.5
698
00:38:19,200 –> 00:38:23,400
acquaintance which was famous
for having the like socket to me
699
00:38:23,500 –> 00:38:25,600
that kind of made Nixon’s.
And then when Nixon became
700
00:38:25,600 –> 00:38:28,900
president, they had access the
Those who run the show, we’re
701
00:38:28,900 –> 00:38:31,200
showing how they went to the
inauguration, and they started
702
00:38:31,200 –> 00:38:34,600
as this like hippie very left.
Very funny.
703
00:38:34,600 –> 00:38:37,900
I mean, winning show very
quickly became a piece where I
704
00:38:37,900 –> 00:38:40,100
had to Google stuff because it
was just a lot of sketches about
705
00:38:40,100 –> 00:38:44,500
how Spiro Agnew was a dummy.
Which is like, that’s like what
706
00:38:44,500 –> 00:38:46,700
Nixon wanted people to know
because he didn’t like his vice
707
00:38:46,700 –> 00:38:47,800
president.
No.
708
00:38:47,800 –> 00:38:49,800
Yeah.
It was I was like, what is the
709
00:38:49,800 –> 00:38:52,300
deal and it’s like oh Nixon
hated as vice president for
710
00:38:52,300 –> 00:38:54,400
arguments like that’s all
laughing does sketches on now
711
00:38:54,400 –> 00:38:56,300
which was not funny.
Did not write.
712
00:38:56,300 –> 00:38:57,900
It didn’t land.
That’s why.
713
00:38:58,000 –> 00:39:00,000
He knows the show.
Now they take a conservative
714
00:39:00,000 –> 00:39:02,400
comedy, not really that funny,
but it was like, you could tell
715
00:39:02,400 –> 00:39:05,900
they were just so over the moon
at their access to the president
716
00:39:05,900 –> 00:39:08,300
that it completely blindsided,
anything else that they were
717
00:39:08,300 –> 00:39:09,800
doing with the show.
That was good.
718
00:39:09,800 –> 00:39:12,800
And it’s like, yeah, just
getting blinded by like your
719
00:39:12,800 –> 00:39:17,500
access and your power to wear.
Nothing else matters but your
720
00:39:17,500 –> 00:39:20,700
personal experience getting to
go to the White House or
721
00:39:20,700 –> 00:39:24,100
whatever and now you’re selling
out this entire mouthpiece.
722
00:39:24,400 –> 00:39:26,400
Yeah.
And you saw it or you see it in
723
00:39:26,400 –> 00:39:30,300
this documentary with the Curse
to not just with Rupert Murdoch.
724
00:39:30,300 –> 00:39:32,700
You mentioned.
There’s the scene from the Trump
725
00:39:32,700 –> 00:39:37,300
rally, where Sean Hannity gets
to go up on stage and speak, and
726
00:39:37,300 –> 00:39:39,600
he points to the rest of the
media in the back and goes
727
00:39:39,600 –> 00:39:41,300
there, fake news.
Oh my God.
728
00:39:41,300 –> 00:39:46,200
Yeah, knowing, he’s spreading
fake news at the time, himself,
729
00:39:46,200 –> 00:39:49,200
Jeanine, Pirro gets to go up on
stage.
730
00:39:49,500 –> 00:39:52,900
She makes for a really
interesting moment in this to
731
00:39:52,900 –> 00:39:56,500
where Sarah Ferguson is outside.
The Fox News headquarters in New
732
00:39:56,500 –> 00:40:00,300
York, in Jeanine, Pirro.
Comes out and people are like
733
00:40:00,300 –> 00:40:03,800
posing for pictures and asking
for autographs and then Sarah
734
00:40:03,800 –> 00:40:07,100
Ferguson just pops in and goes
hey do you still think Dominion
735
00:40:07,100 –> 00:40:11,100
voting machines were rigged to
steal the 20/20 election and
736
00:40:11,100 –> 00:40:15,200
Jeanine Pirro, just like smiles
and walks away and doesn’t
737
00:40:15,200 –> 00:40:18,600
answer it and they try and kick
her off the property for asking
738
00:40:18,600 –> 00:40:21,900
questions when it’s in front of
a news building, right?
739
00:40:21,900 –> 00:40:25,600
She’s literally doing news
reporting as she can on public
740
00:40:25,600 –> 00:40:28,200
property, asking people
questions and they’re like What
741
00:40:28,200 –> 00:40:30,600
are you doing here?
Why are you being cooperative?
742
00:40:30,600 –> 00:40:34,000
It’s like it shows to me how
much news is entertainment.
743
00:40:34,000 –> 00:40:36,300
Now you know we’ve said that
about fox and that’s part of the
744
00:40:36,300 –> 00:40:38,900
like going for the ratings of
following the audience.
745
00:40:38,900 –> 00:40:41,500
That’s not what news does.
That’s what entertainment does.
746
00:40:41,600 –> 00:40:43,700
And these reporters like they
care more about being
747
00:40:43,700 –> 00:40:45,700
celebrities than being
reporters.
748
00:40:45,800 –> 00:40:49,600
Yeah, they don’t address this in
the documentary obviously
749
00:40:49,600 –> 00:40:54,500
because it hadn’t happened by
then but the way I ended up even
750
00:40:54,500 –> 00:40:57,800
knowing about this documentary
is I read an article about how
751
00:40:58,000 –> 00:41:00,900
Oh, the Australian
Communications and media
752
00:41:00,900 –> 00:41:03,600
Authority.
Ruled that this documentary
753
00:41:03,600 –> 00:41:09,300
breached the accuracy and fair
dealing requirements of ABC’s,
754
00:41:09,500 –> 00:41:15,100
editorial code.
And that sounds really damning
755
00:41:15,300 –> 00:41:18,500
and that’s kind of the problem
like, well because then what
756
00:41:18,500 –> 00:41:21,600
came down to three very minor
things.
757
00:41:21,600 –> 00:41:25,500
That would have been easily like
when you do a like retraction
758
00:41:25,500 –> 00:41:27,800
and Corrections the next day.
Like okay, we said this instead
759
00:41:27,800 –> 00:41:30,800
of That it was very very minor
things.
760
00:41:30,800 –> 00:41:34,800
You have the three things they
took issue with one using the
761
00:41:34,800 –> 00:41:38,200
word mob to describe the January
6th rioters.
762
00:41:38,400 –> 00:41:41,400
They said that was emotive and
strident language.
763
00:41:41,500 –> 00:41:44,800
Hey fuck you that was a mom
that’s the thing that feels
764
00:41:44,800 –> 00:41:48,100
subjective and not objective in
all of the things that were
765
00:41:48,100 –> 00:41:51,000
discussing.
They also said, ABC should have
766
00:41:51,000 –> 00:41:54,600
used a Fox News, Press release
in the documentary, but that
767
00:41:54,600 –> 00:41:57,500
press release was like three
years old at the time.
768
00:41:57,700 –> 00:42:00,400
So, Like anyone as I said press
releases, not news.
769
00:42:00,600 –> 00:42:03,500
Yeah, exactly.
And then the third thing is they
770
00:42:03,500 –> 00:42:06,500
said it was wrong to have
stopped Jeanine Pirro on the
771
00:42:06,500 –> 00:42:10,400
street and question her.
And it’s like how is that wrong?
772
00:42:10,400 –> 00:42:13,100
What is that supposed to mean?
It’s also literally what
773
00:42:13,100 –> 00:42:16,000
reporters do asking questions.
She was on public land.
774
00:42:16,800 –> 00:42:17,900
You know, she was on the
sidewalk.
775
00:42:17,900 –> 00:42:19,800
It’s public.
She didn’t like invade the
776
00:42:19,800 –> 00:42:22,200
building and, you know, come
into her office or anything.
777
00:42:22,300 –> 00:42:24,500
Yeah.
There were other people trying
778
00:42:24,500 –> 00:42:26,800
to get photos with her.
It’s not like their team
779
00:42:26,800 –> 00:42:29,100
favorite.
Kind of like, Like baseball
780
00:42:29,100 –> 00:42:32,600
rules, kind of like baseball has
all these Unwritten rules.
781
00:42:32,600 –> 00:42:37,100
Like well if it’s 30 count in
the bases are loaded, you don’t
782
00:42:37,100 –> 00:42:39,300
swing because, you know what
kind of pitch is coming.
783
00:42:39,300 –> 00:42:42,200
It’s going to be a fastball and
you just don’t swing in that
784
00:42:42,200 –> 00:42:45,100
situation and then there are
players who will swing in that
785
00:42:45,100 –> 00:42:48,200
situation and they’ll get a hit
and people will be mad at them
786
00:42:48,200 –> 00:42:50,800
and they’re like it’s not my job
to uphold.
787
00:42:50,800 –> 00:42:54,900
Your Unwritten rules.
It is my job to do my job and my
788
00:42:54,900 –> 00:42:57,600
job is to win.
Baseball games in this feels
789
00:42:57,600 –> 00:43:00,800
like Some Unwritten rule shit
where they’re like hey your
790
00:43:00,800 –> 00:43:03,800
media you know you don’t stop
other media and question them
791
00:43:03,800 –> 00:43:06,800
like that and so it’s like I
think you were rude you know.
792
00:43:07,300 –> 00:43:10,000
Yeah like otherwise I don’t know
what the complaint can be.
793
00:43:10,000 –> 00:43:12,300
It’s just her doing what she’s
supposed to do.
794
00:43:12,500 –> 00:43:16,900
It feels like somebody of power
was like you gotta make a
795
00:43:16,900 –> 00:43:19,300
statement that this isn’t good.
Somebody doesn’t like it.
796
00:43:19,500 –> 00:43:22,100
Yeah.
And you have to make some kind
797
00:43:22,100 –> 00:43:26,700
of, you know, some some writer
someone lower on the totem pole
798
00:43:26,700 –> 00:43:31,200
was told you have to Find a
reason that we can flag this as
799
00:43:31,200 –> 00:43:35,700
not being good reporting and
they went there and I go, this
800
00:43:35,700 –> 00:43:39,400
was it nice.
Well, it’s a lot like what
801
00:43:39,400 –> 00:43:44,000
happened with Gary Webb who is
the guy who broke the story
802
00:43:44,000 –> 00:43:47,200
about the CIA selling crack in
Los Angeles.
803
00:43:47,400 –> 00:43:51,500
If you look into it now, history
will tell you that the New York
804
00:43:51,500 –> 00:43:55,700
Times and the LA Times
discredited his reporting but
805
00:43:55,700 –> 00:44:00,000
what they actually did was Was
at the behest of the American
806
00:44:00,000 –> 00:44:04,100
government spent like three
months just kind of nitpicking
807
00:44:04,100 –> 00:44:08,800
the details of his story to the
point that like one of their big
808
00:44:08,800 –> 00:44:13,800
complaints was well.
He said, Rick, Ross was one of
809
00:44:13,800 –> 00:44:18,600
the biggest cocaine suppliers in
LA but there were actually
810
00:44:18,600 –> 00:44:22,500
bigger cocaine suppliers and
it’s like motherfucker that does
811
00:44:22,500 –> 00:44:24,800
not make what he’s saying not
true.
812
00:44:24,800 –> 00:44:28,200
And also think there’s we also
know that there were other Okay.
813
00:44:28,200 –> 00:44:30,400
Insofar as he doesn’t even know
about.
814
00:44:30,500 –> 00:44:32,900
We know about the bigger ones.
He didn’t even know.
815
00:44:32,900 –> 00:44:34,900
It’s like, okay.
Well you’re telling your hand
816
00:44:34,900 –> 00:44:37,500
that you have inside information
to the people, that know that
817
00:44:37,500 –> 00:44:41,700
even bigger deals but at no
point, did they ever like follow
818
00:44:41,700 –> 00:44:45,400
up on the general claim?
Which was that the CIA knew
819
00:44:45,400 –> 00:44:47,800
people were selling crack in the
United States.
820
00:44:47,800 –> 00:44:51,000
They were just like, uh, I
wasn’t as big as he said it was,
821
00:44:51,200 –> 00:44:53,300
but because it’s the New York
Times.
822
00:44:53,300 –> 00:44:57,100
And because it’s the LA Times,
people took that in just like,
823
00:44:57,100 –> 00:44:58,900
read the headline.
And we’re like, oh okay.
824
00:44:58,900 –> 00:45:02,800
So I guess that story was
bullshit and it’s very cuz that
825
00:45:02,800 –> 00:45:06,100
was the emotional message that
they were trying to sell.
826
00:45:06,100 –> 00:45:09,000
That’s when you get into the
marketing of it and it’s not
827
00:45:09,000 –> 00:45:11,700
about the details.
It’s not about the fact it’s
828
00:45:11,700 –> 00:45:14,300
about the emotional messaging
that people will get when they
829
00:45:14,300 –> 00:45:16,600
gloss it.
When they consume it without
830
00:45:16,700 –> 00:45:20,000
thinking about it farther, you
know, and being critical.
831
00:45:20,200 –> 00:45:24,100
And that was part of Sarah
Ferguson’s response.
832
00:45:24,100 –> 00:45:27,800
She ended up writing a 1200,
word response to this report.
833
00:45:28,000 –> 00:45:32,200
And here’s a quote from that in
its report responding to
834
00:45:32,200 –> 00:45:37,600
extensive complaints.
By Fox acma Says 19 times that
835
00:45:37,600 –> 00:45:42,300
ABC did not breach in partiality
or mislead the audience.
836
00:45:42,500 –> 00:45:46,700
It identified three minor
subjective breaches within our
837
00:45:46,900 –> 00:45:49,800
coverage yet.
The press release issued by a
838
00:45:49,800 –> 00:45:53,900
CMA chairperson Narita
o’laughlin and the language of
839
00:45:53,900 –> 00:45:57,700
the report create an overall
impression that our program.
840
00:45:57,900 –> 00:46:01,600
These were misleading and not
honest and she’s right.
841
00:46:01,700 –> 00:46:06,700
And I think that was the point.
They just wanted to put
842
00:46:06,700 –> 00:46:09,200
something out there to put doubt
in people’s minds.
843
00:46:09,300 –> 00:46:12,600
They know the message, they know
the feeling that they want to
844
00:46:12,607 –> 00:46:15,600
put out there.
And then you craft the story
845
00:46:15,600 –> 00:46:18,900
around that, you find the
evidence to support the message.
846
00:46:18,900 –> 00:46:22,300
You want to put out there, you
work backwards.
847
00:46:22,400 –> 00:46:26,000
That’s PR not reporting.
What’s funny about?
848
00:46:26,000 –> 00:46:27,700
This is the reason there’s a
part.
849
00:46:27,900 –> 00:46:31,000
You to this documentary.
And I was kind of confused when
850
00:46:31,000 –> 00:46:33,900
I watched part two because she
says right up front, that this
851
00:46:33,900 –> 00:46:36,200
is a thing.
We aired a long time ago and
852
00:46:36,200 –> 00:46:39,200
we’re just replaying it tonight,
but they presented as part two
853
00:46:39,200 –> 00:46:42,900
of this, the reason they did
that is because one of the other
854
00:46:42,900 –> 00:46:46,900
like minor complaints was that
they didn’t focus enough on
855
00:46:46,900 –> 00:46:51,200
social media’s role in the
January 6th riots.
856
00:46:51,300 –> 00:46:53,800
And she was like, yeah, it’s
because we did a whole episode
857
00:46:53,800 –> 00:46:59,100
about that six months ago and so
they ended up Up like tagging
858
00:46:59,100 –> 00:47:02,900
that on as part 2 after this
report comes out.
859
00:47:02,900 –> 00:47:05,200
So they were kind of like
trolling this report.
860
00:47:05,200 –> 00:47:10,500
I make that old episode part 2
of this documentary and I mean,
861
00:47:10,500 –> 00:47:12,700
it’s all the same interviews,
all the same people, so it makes
862
00:47:12,700 –> 00:47:15,200
sense.
But yeah, that’s kind of it.
863
00:47:15,200 –> 00:47:18,700
It’s an interesting watch.
Its I think the best documentary
864
00:47:18,700 –> 00:47:23,800
maybe the only documentary about
the 2020 election fraud theories
865
00:47:23,800 –> 00:47:27,800
and it was good to see it from a
different perspective.
866
00:47:27,900 –> 00:47:31,600
Dev, you know, like the
Australian view of the American
867
00:47:31,600 –> 00:47:34,300
election, not Americans, because
it is also hard for us to be
868
00:47:34,300 –> 00:47:37,200
objective about ourselves.
We all have an emotional, you
869
00:47:37,200 –> 00:47:41,200
know, horse in this race and I
just found it so fast when they
870
00:47:41,200 –> 00:47:44,200
got to like how this happened in
media, how this happened in
871
00:47:44,400 –> 00:47:46,900
journalism and they have to be
like, it was America.
872
00:47:46,900 –> 00:47:50,700
That’s why Roger went that’s why
Rupert went to America because
873
00:47:50,700 –> 00:47:53,500
it’s not like here or in Europe,
you know?
874
00:47:53,500 –> 00:47:56,500
Yeah, yeah.
We had rules in place prior to
875
00:47:56,500 –> 00:48:00,300
the mid 90s.
That would have prevented an
876
00:48:00,300 –> 00:48:03,300
outlet like Fox News from even
existing.
877
00:48:03,400 –> 00:48:10,000
It’s the same reason shows, like
extra happened and there used to
878
00:48:10,000 –> 00:48:14,300
be like standards that if your
show was aired at a certain time
879
00:48:14,300 –> 00:48:17,700
of day, there had to be like,
some sort of educational value
880
00:48:17,700 –> 00:48:21,500
to it, or it had to be.
Like, if it was news, it had to
881
00:48:21,500 –> 00:48:25,100
like help the world in some way
and we just stripped all that
882
00:48:25,100 –> 00:48:27,800
way.
I mean, Fox News happened like a
883
00:48:27,900 –> 00:48:30,400
Later, the one lying Silver
Lining.
884
00:48:30,400 –> 00:48:34,800
I try and take from from Trump
and fox and all of this is like,
885
00:48:34,800 –> 00:48:40,800
as we said, this is not actually
new practice for the CIA or
886
00:48:40,800 –> 00:48:44,300
four, you know, very subjective
for people with power to be just
887
00:48:44,300 –> 00:48:48,400
kind of using what we see is
news to actually have very very
888
00:48:48,400 –> 00:48:53,300
particular messaging out there
but it’s gotten so egregious
889
00:48:53,600 –> 00:48:55,900
that.
I mean, my only hope is that
890
00:48:55,900 –> 00:48:58,500
it’s just that they’ve gotten so
agreed to Italy.
891
00:48:58,600 –> 00:49:01,700
You know, they feel so
untouchable about it that it’s
892
00:49:02,000 –> 00:49:04,600
like, they’re getting sloppy,
you know?
893
00:49:04,600 –> 00:49:07,800
And the whole reason we can talk
about this is because they’re
894
00:49:08,000 –> 00:49:11,200
starting to overstep and get
sloppy with stuff that has been
895
00:49:11,200 –> 00:49:13,300
going on the whole time.
It doesn’t, it’s not know.
896
00:49:13,300 –> 00:49:15,700
None of these guys are smart
enough to come up with this
897
00:49:15,700 –> 00:49:20,000
Playbook there.
You know, dumb enough to fuck it
898
00:49:20,000 –> 00:49:22,700
up hopefully for the rest of
them where they’re showing their
899
00:49:22,700 –> 00:49:23,600
hands.
Yeah.
900
00:49:23,600 –> 00:49:25,900
You know that’s the only hope is
that it’s so bad now.
901
00:49:25,900 –> 00:49:27,600
People are going to be like okay
we got it.
902
00:49:28,500 –> 00:49:32,300
Got to acknowledge those know as
much as I just downplayed
903
00:49:32,300 –> 00:49:35,000
Watergate as being as huge of a
scandalous.
904
00:49:35,000 –> 00:49:37,500
People make it out to be.
We absolutely need another
905
00:49:37,500 –> 00:49:42,100
Watergate moment in this
country, like there needs to be
906
00:49:42,100 –> 00:49:47,300
that Collective outrage at
something, we find out that
907
00:49:47,300 –> 00:49:52,100
makes us want to change things.
The problem is, when we did it
908
00:49:52,100 –> 00:49:55,800
with Watergate, it resulted in
the church committee hearings,
909
00:49:56,000 –> 00:49:59,000
which is where we told the CIA,
they Not operate in the United
910
00:49:59,000 –> 00:50:02,300
States anymore.
And then the next thing we did
911
00:50:02,300 –> 00:50:07,300
was like elect the director of
the CIA as vice president and
912
00:50:07,300 –> 00:50:10,700
then the CIA just started doing
whatever they wanted all around
913
00:50:10,700 –> 00:50:14,700
the world in the 80s and 90s
instead of doing it here.
914
00:50:14,700 –> 00:50:19,700
So like our big Watergate moment
didn’t help, it didn’t really
915
00:50:19,900 –> 00:50:23,400
change anything, it just pushed
the CIA kind of in the more
916
00:50:23,400 –> 00:50:27,700
secretive parts and they’re not.
I mean CIA.
917
00:50:27,900 –> 00:50:31,300
Sitting in media is very
present.
918
00:50:31,300 –> 00:50:34,900
Like there’s lots of old, you
know, documents and stuff
919
00:50:34,900 –> 00:50:36,500
talking about.
The CIA has connection to
920
00:50:36,500 –> 00:50:39,300
Hollywood and putting out
certain types of movies that
921
00:50:39,300 –> 00:50:44,400
show soldiers and America and
very certain propaganda.
922
00:50:44,400 –> 00:50:47,500
Like, like it’s, you know, like,
you know, they’re still elements
923
00:50:47,500 –> 00:50:51,200
of, like, you don’t talk about
this, you don’t have the CIA.
924
00:50:51,300 –> 00:50:54,900
If you go on their website, they
have a Hollywood liaison
925
00:50:54,900 –> 00:51:00,100
department where that’s their
whole Job is to just consult
926
00:51:00,100 –> 00:51:04,400
with films on how they want the
CIA to look, which is why I keep
927
00:51:04,400 –> 00:51:08,100
bringing up that in 2023 of all
the movies.
928
00:51:08,100 –> 00:51:11,100
I don’t want to see anymore,
it’s a movie that makes like a
929
00:51:11,100 –> 00:51:14,700
CIA agent, look cool.
And like, he’s out there saving
930
00:51:14,800 –> 00:51:17,300
the world from terrorists.
Like, fuck you.
931
00:51:17,300 –> 00:51:20,400
That’s not what the CIA does.
Not trying to watch the guy from
932
00:51:20,400 –> 00:51:22,700
The Office.
Topple, the Venezuelan
933
00:51:22,700 –> 00:51:24,300
government.
Fuck off.
934
00:51:24,500 –> 00:51:28,200
Yeah, thanks.
And you like, we should Who’s
935
00:51:28,200 –> 00:51:31,300
really in the CIA, like see how
annoying most of these people
936
00:51:31,300 –> 00:51:33,100
are?
Yeah.
937
00:51:33,300 –> 00:51:37,000
And what you said about lazy
reporting to, that’s where like
938
00:51:37,000 –> 00:51:40,800
the media is, if you’re taking a
press release and just reporting
939
00:51:40,800 –> 00:51:44,300
it as news, you’re really kind
of setting yourself up to be
940
00:51:44,300 –> 00:51:48,300
called the enemy of the people,
because just because coming from
941
00:51:48,300 –> 00:51:50,800
an official Source, he’s still
gotta look into that.
942
00:51:50,800 –> 00:51:54,100
I mean, there’s, there’s lazy
reporters but there’s also, you
943
00:51:54,100 –> 00:51:58,300
know, pressure from the top, the
managers, the Ders.
944
00:51:58,400 –> 00:51:59,500
You know.
Yeah.
945
00:51:59,500 –> 00:52:03,000
Who control what the reporter?
Can only write so much at their
946
00:52:03,000 –> 00:52:05,000
laptop.
It’s the editors in the managers
947
00:52:05,000 –> 00:52:08,600
that decide whether it goes and
how it goes and you know, final
948
00:52:08,600 –> 00:52:12,000
say so I can also see reporters
just getting dejected and be
949
00:52:12,000 –> 00:52:15,300
like now this is just my job.
I tried I tried carrying didn’t
950
00:52:15,300 –> 00:52:16,700
work.
Yeah.
951
00:52:16,700 –> 00:52:19,100
Yeah.
And you see it with outlets in
952
00:52:19,100 –> 00:52:23,200
this country to it’s not just
like politically sensitive stuff
953
00:52:23,200 –> 00:52:26,200
that and reporters get paid like
shit like teachers.
954
00:52:26,200 –> 00:52:28,800
Yeah.
And another Thing that plays
955
00:52:28,800 –> 00:52:33,000
into media coverage in this
country is advertising money and
956
00:52:33,300 –> 00:52:35,800
the example of that at this
point, how many of these
957
00:52:35,800 –> 00:52:39,200
articles are like, put the press
release into a I feel like write
958
00:52:39,200 –> 00:52:41,700
this as a news article.
Yeah, exactly.
959
00:52:41,800 –> 00:52:44,700
And the thing with advertising
money, the example, I always
960
00:52:44,700 –> 00:52:49,800
bring up is McDonald’s pretty
early into the me to movement.
961
00:52:49,800 –> 00:52:54,700
There was a nationwide walkout.
Like there were workers in
962
00:52:55,000 –> 00:52:57,600
McDonald’s Outlets all over the
country.
963
00:52:57,900 –> 00:53:01,600
That walked out during lunch
hour to protest.
964
00:53:01,700 –> 00:53:07,900
A pervasive culture of sexual
harassment – sexual abuse at
965
00:53:07,900 –> 00:53:11,400
McDonald’s.
Almost no one reported on that
966
00:53:11,400 –> 00:53:14,200
shit.
Like that was not only the first
967
00:53:14,200 –> 00:53:18,700
American corporation that got
hit with a me to action like
968
00:53:18,700 –> 00:53:20,900
that.
They are one of the biggest
969
00:53:21,000 –> 00:53:23,800
corporations, there’s a
documentary I saw on Netflix
970
00:53:24,100 –> 00:53:26,900
something about like where the
phone call is coming from.
971
00:53:27,300 –> 00:53:29,200
Oh yeah.
You saw that the guy that
972
00:53:29,200 –> 00:53:32,000
screwed doing these prank calls,
it fast food restaurants, all
973
00:53:32,000 –> 00:53:35,800
over getting like managers to
strip-search their employees and
974
00:53:35,800 –> 00:53:40,700
like adult manager, men’s like
strip searching young teenage
975
00:53:40,700 –> 00:53:44,200
women and assaulting them and it
was an epidemic, it was
976
00:53:44,200 –> 00:53:45,400
happening all across the
country.
977
00:53:45,400 –> 00:53:48,300
Like it was like one guy,
apparently, calling people all
978
00:53:48,300 –> 00:53:50,900
over the country and the reason
it could go on.
979
00:53:50,900 –> 00:53:53,400
So long as somebody was
squashing, all the reporting and
980
00:53:53,400 –> 00:53:57,200
the news stories on it and
McDonald’s was not telling
981
00:53:57,200 –> 00:53:59,500
other.
Franchises, by the way, look out
982
00:53:59,500 –> 00:54:02,400
for this sort of behavior look
out for calls that say this,
983
00:54:02,400 –> 00:54:06,500
they just kept it quiet, which
actually made it happen to such
984
00:54:06,500 –> 00:54:09,400
a larger scale because they were
more concerned with people not
985
00:54:09,400 –> 00:54:12,100
hearing this story rather than
preventing it from happening,
986
00:54:12,200 –> 00:54:14,800
right?
And they have leverage over
987
00:54:14,800 –> 00:54:17,100
Outlets because McDonald’s spend
so much.
988
00:54:17,100 –> 00:54:19,900
I had money probably enough that
they can go to the New York
989
00:54:19,900 –> 00:54:23,600
Times and be like, hey, The
Daily Beast will report on that
990
00:54:23,600 –> 00:54:25,800
strike.
Just let them have the story and
991
00:54:25,800 –> 00:54:27,300
that’s where messaging from the
top.
992
00:54:27,300 –> 00:54:29,700
Like I do, Write the articles,
but as the top all go to the
993
00:54:29,700 –> 00:54:32,100
managers and I’m going to hey,
you know what, we don’t want to
994
00:54:32,100 –> 00:54:34,400
anyone reporting on this.
That’s not the messaging we
995
00:54:34,400 –> 00:54:37,000
want, put the brand, right?
It happens.
996
00:54:37,100 –> 00:54:42,300
And this documentary is a good
example of how the media can be
997
00:54:42,300 –> 00:54:45,200
manipulated in this country even
though it’s an Australian
998
00:54:45,200 –> 00:54:47,500
documentary, it’s about us.
Yeah.
999
00:54:47,700 –> 00:54:50,500
And it’s nice that they really
take down the like I didn’t
1000
00:54:50,500 –> 00:54:54,000
think about the murdochs.
It’s so succession but if you
1001
00:54:54,000 –> 00:54:56,100
like succession, you’ll love
this documentary.
1002
00:54:56,700 –> 00:54:59,100
Yeah.
That’s absolutely true.
1003
00:54:59,100 –> 00:55:03,200
It is very succession like, and
we’ll link to it in the show
1004
00:55:03,200 –> 00:55:04,000
notes.
It’s free.
1005
00:55:04,100 –> 00:55:07,400
You can just watch it online.
It’s two parts, they’re both
1006
00:55:07,400 –> 00:55:09,500
like 45 minutes.
It’s an easy watch.
1007
00:55:09,800 –> 00:55:15,300
And I think it’s, I think it’s
the only documentary about the
1008
00:55:15,300 –> 00:55:20,100
2020 election theories that
isn’t Pro those theories.
1009
00:55:20,400 –> 00:55:24,300
Like the other documentaries,
about this, our conspiracy
1010
00:55:24,300 –> 00:55:27,400
theory documentaries, that want
you to believe the election was
1011
00:55:27,400 –> 00:55:28,000
stolen.
One.
1012
00:55:28,100 –> 00:55:31,200
And this is a good one that goes
in the other direction.
1013
00:55:31,300 –> 00:55:33,600
Yeah, I mean, I feel like
there’s got to be like the
1014
00:55:33,600 –> 00:55:36,500
liberal tint out there, but then
it’s also just going to be like
1015
00:55:36,800 –> 00:55:38,800
how is it that these people
exist?
1016
00:55:38,800 –> 00:55:43,000
Like they tend to just like
demonize instead of investigate,
1017
00:55:43,100 –> 00:55:44,300
you know?
Yeah yeah.
1018
00:55:44,400 –> 00:55:46,900
So I think that’s our episode,
right?
1019
00:55:46,900 –> 00:55:48,800
We did it.
I feel good about it.
1020
00:55:48,800 –> 00:55:51,400
I feel like we made it.
What’s almost as long as the
1021
00:55:51,400 –> 00:55:52,900
documentary.
There you go.
1022
00:55:53,500 –> 00:55:55,100
And we gave Trump a lot less air
time.
1023
00:55:55,400 –> 00:55:58,400
Yeah, he’s like the least.
Important one.
1024
00:55:59,500 –> 00:56:01,800
Yeah he’s almost yeah.
Kind of the least important
1025
00:56:01,800 –> 00:56:04,500
person in this because like you
expect a president.
1026
00:56:04,500 –> 00:56:07,500
If a news media organization is
like Hey will be your whole
1027
00:56:07,500 –> 00:56:08,600
mouth piece.
No.
1028
00:56:08,600 –> 00:56:10,000
President’s going to say no.
Yeah.
1029
00:56:10,000 –> 00:56:11,900
They’re like Trump is what he
is.
1030
00:56:12,000 –> 00:56:14,100
That’s yeah.
We all know that there’s not
1031
00:56:14,100 –> 00:56:16,300
like how could he?
Like we all know what Trump is
1032
00:56:16,500 –> 00:56:20,600
the egregious this year is like
why did this entire news?
1033
00:56:20,800 –> 00:56:22,400
You know, conglomerate just go.
Yeah.
1034
00:56:22,400 –> 00:56:24,000
Whatever you say boss.
Yeah.
1035
00:56:24,100 –> 00:56:26,100
Yeah, it’s gross.
It’s fucking gross.
1036
00:56:26,600 –> 00:56:27,500
Samantha.
Thank you.
1037
00:56:27,700 –> 00:56:31,000
Much for doing that.
Do you have anything to plug
1038
00:56:31,000 –> 00:56:35,200
before we get out of here?
Yeah, I run a show at El Cid in
1039
00:56:35,200 –> 00:56:38,000
Los Angeles.
Now, if anyone’s around
1040
00:56:38,000 –> 00:56:42,400

It’s on the patio 7:30 to 9:30.
1043
00:56:48,900 –> 00:56:52,000
I have cheerleading go-go.

00:57:02,000 –> 00:57:05,300
Instagram and Twitter and
wherever else I made a handle
1048
00:57:05,300 –> 00:57:09,800
and don’t update.
And I’m not only fans by the way
1049
00:57:09,800 –> 00:57:13,000

complimented, how I was on a nun

00:57:17,900 –> 00:57:20,400
lives.
There’s so much happening with
1052
00:57:20,400 –> 00:57:25,100
the network right now.
The we changed the name, for
1053
00:57:25,100 –> 00:57:27,400
legal reasons.
Mostly, I can’t wait to see the
1054
00:57:27,700 –> 00:57:29,600
Man room.
Yeah, exactly.
1055
00:57:29,700 –> 00:57:31,300
Oh, the behind-the-scenes
wrangling.
1056
00:57:31,300 –> 00:57:33,800
It’s been nuts.
Me and my brothers have all had
1057
00:57:33,800 –> 00:57:36,100
a real falling out.
I don’t have any brothers.
1058
00:57:36,400 –> 00:57:39,800
Just follow me on Instagram for
right now at Adam Todd Brown.
1059
00:57:39,800 –> 00:57:42,300
It’s time that we did you forget
that needle out of your face?
1060
00:57:42,500 –> 00:57:46,000
Yeah, yeah.
Thank God recovery from the
1061
00:57:46,008 –> 00:57:49,400
surgery has sucked, but there’s
no needle there anymore.
1062
00:57:49,900 –> 00:57:53,500
Oh, I’m also Blue Sky.
Not to brag.
1063
00:57:53,500 –> 00:57:57,400
It’s an invite only thing, but
if you’re on Blue Sky, follow me
1064
00:57:57,400 –> 00:57:58,000
there.
There.
1065
00:57:58,100 –> 00:58:02,200
But only if you’re invited by
someone who invites you and I
1066
00:58:02,207 –> 00:58:05,400
only have one invite code.
So back off everybody.
1067
00:58:05,800 –> 00:58:09,800
Wow, I’m going to burn it in the
streets and just blue balls need
1068
00:58:09,800 –> 00:58:11,500
four blue sky.
I’m gonna have this.
1069
00:58:11,500 –> 00:58:13,900
I’m going to set up a burner
account with it.
1070
00:58:14,600 –> 00:58:17,700
It’s the second bullet.
Every invite I get, I’m going to
1071
00:58:17,700 –> 00:58:20,200
be 2/3 of Blue Sky by the time
I’m done.
1072
00:58:20,400 –> 00:58:21,600
I think that’s it.
We can get out here.
1073
00:58:21,600 –> 00:58:24,600
Right, sounds good.
Samantha say goodbye.
1074
00:58:24,800 –> 00:58:27,300
Goodbye goodbye everybody.
We love you.
