Is the Sleeping Conservative Dragon Finally Waking Up?
"A clown world up is down down is up nothing makes anymore Victor Davis Hanson had a great piece in the Daily Caller I've been talking about throughout the show which I think is really and it's called is the sleeping conservative dragon finally waking up before I get into that you know we were asking you guys you know what do you think? Is the sleeping conservative dragon finally waking up? The number is 844 -484 3872 or more simply 844 for the USA I'll take your calls a little bit later on that but what he writes is he said so conservatives often slept through the woke revolution yet suddenly they realized their apathy allowed the country to descend into something the nation's founders never imagined or intended and antithetical to what most knew as America just a couple of decades ago so conservatives are awakening from their slumber and they are discovering that they too can boycott agitate and war you know talking about how conservatives have taken aim at some of these woke companies whether it's Target, Anheuser -Busch, Disney you know the list goes on or even what the LA Dodgers doing are right with with this group it's disgusting what they're trying to do with this sisters are perpetual indulgence a group of men engaging

Josh Hammer: Timeless Principles vs. Ad-Hoc Policies in Conservatism
"Policies that were appropriate given the problems the of country and really kind of the Western world faith at that time and principles as And well you know not conscious refers to national conservatism the Yemen Burke Foundation where I'm a research fellow is kind of the home for that we host these national conservatism conferences really kind of trying to build on the momentum That former President Trump kind of ushered in when he was elected president 2016 trying policies to immigration take certain trade foreign policy and study more kind of nationalist direction I would say trying to kind of take social and economic policy in a direction that really tries to make America a little more whole and communitarian away from the liberalization of prior decades Well I don't disagree with that necessarily but I do have some questions because I looked into some of this which national conservatism honestly I never heard of it before but that's my fault I haven't read about it One of my concerns here and I would like you to try dissuade me from this I'm concerned that that it could push sort of a government centric industrial policy and if not what are the limits on that? In other words I understand we don't have a free market but I also understand that it's the market system that creates all the wealth in this country Government doesn't create it regulations don't create it nothing creates it but we the people so what have do you in mind in that regard because I don't quite understand that?

When Bitcoin Meets AI by Aleksander Svetski
"A seemingly unstoppable force meets with an immovable object. I know, I know. Your Twitter feed has probably been drowning in threads and tips from AI bros who've discovered 99 ways for you to save 99 hours every week using chat GPT or some other list of 99 AI apps. I'm sick of it too. Trust me, especially considering most of these AI experts were Web 3 experts last year, NFT experts the year before, and DeFi or crypto experts before that. Trend hopping at its finest. That's not to say there's no value here to be found. Somewhere beneath or behind the almost deafening noise coming from these influencers, there is a possible paradigm shift and a genuine set of use cases. We've seen some already, of course. You can chat with these models to reason out a problem. You can summarize thoughts and ideas, find correlations between ideas, search for some information better than you could with Google, and of course, build more linguistically functional chat bots. Perhaps the best use case thus far is the Dev Assistant tool, but I get the sense that we've not yet seen the Uber moment. There is also, somewhere beneath and behind all the scary talk of AGI and the idiocy being proposed by bureaucrats and would -be regulators, a more human -centric, human -enhancing use for these tools. The idea of a language user interface as the next step from the thumb tapping we've been used to over the past decade is fascinating, and what we should be thinking about is how to make these tools new, quote, bicycles for the mind, as Steve Jobs said about computers. It's very important we push back against doomer narratives that lean the world toward approved AI, quote, unquote, in order to avoid such tools becoming yet another appendage of the state.

Debt limit deal heads to vote in full House while McCarthy scrambles for GOP approval
"The debt ceiling and budget deal worked out between House speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Biden has advanced to the full House, where a vote is expected Wednesday. I'm Ben Thomas with a look at its progress. The House rules committee voted 7 to 6 to advance the bill, chairman Tom Cole, an Oklahoma Republican calling it a product of compromise. And reflects the realities of a divided government. We shouldn't allow that to overshadow what this bill accomplishes. It would restrict spending for the next two years while also suspending the nation's debt limit during that time, and the nonpartisan congressional budget office says it reduces deficits by $1.5 trillion over the decade, but South Carolina Republican Ralph Norman also a member of the freedom caucus was disappointed. We had a real bill that was going to make a difference. We did in the original bill. This being watered down is completely takes the teeth out of it. And I see why the Democrats vote for it. I see it now. He and Texas congressman chip Roy, who earlier in the day, said not one Republican should vote for this deal. Join Democrats in opposing the bill's advance. Ranking Democrat Jim mcgovern of Massachusetts accusing the GOP of weaponizing the debt ceiling, saying it's a precedent that will forever haunt the nation. One party can use the full faith and credit of the United States as a hostage to pass their widely unpopular ideas. Adding, someday, hopefully not in my lifetime, but someday there will be a Republican president. And you will remember this moment because what you are trying to do is get things enacted that you could not get done through regular order. Ben Thomas, Washington

Debt Ceiling News Pumps BTC
"Let's go straight into some market talk. Is it all around what's happened with the debt ceiling, do we think? Or is there a bit more to it? I'm not sure, but that news about the debt ceiling has really pushed up all asset classes, and Bitcoin had a bit of a shakeout last week. Even you had a bit of a panic sell trace, but we're back to the races now. Police. I don't know if I had a panic sell. Come on. We're back to the pre -sell -off levels. I guess it was the debt ceiling, which you can give a bit of an update to. Let's talk about that. Crypto prices had a nice little pump on Sunday night with the news that the US lawmakers had ended their stalemate over the government's debt ceiling debate. As part of the deal agreed between President Joe Biden and Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, the plans are a 30 % tax on crypto mining also has been shelved as part of this deal. So I think what exactly was the deal as well? There's no debt ceiling until January 2025? I mean, that's interesting. It's the kicking the can down the road scenario that every country is doing basically, but particularly America has been leading the way for well over a decade. I'm certainly no financial expert, but what I do know is if you keep printing money, money is going to be useless. Absolutely. We've been on the way there for a long time. I'm sure that's why many people are in crypto. I didn't see this coming. I thought they'd sort of let what needs to happen happen, but how much further can they go? They sort of keep making their own rules and, like I said, keep kicking the can down the road. So the inevitable will happen at one point or another. All they're doing is, in my opinion, making what will inevitably happen

China launches new crew for space station, with eye to putting astronauts on moon before 2030
"China has launched its first civilian astronaut to its space station as part of a new three person crew, the shenzhou 16 spacecraft lifted off from a launch center on the edge of the Gobi desert in northwestern China just after 9 30 a.m. local time. The crew will overlap briefly with three now aboard the tiangong station who will then return to earth after completing their 6 month mission. China built its own space station after it was excluded from the International Space Station with the hope of putting astronauts on the moon before the end of the decade. Their exclusion was largely down to U.S. concerns over the Chinese space programs intimate ties with the People's Liberation Army, the military branch of the ruling Communist Party.

It adds three Hungarian soldiers were wounded by the use of firearms, but their injuries are not life threatening. Kosovo police fired tear gas to disperse the crowd as they tried to let new officials into the offices.

Brett Tolman: The Real Authority of U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves
"Want you to listen to this We can do it here We have multiple platforms Want you to listen to this This is Brett tolman who was a U.S. attorney in Utah really really top lawyer And he's very soft spoken so check it out Cut 22 go But you make a very good point The us attorneys nominated by the president not the attorney general and confirmed by the Senate They are presidential appointees and they serve at the pleasure of the president So despite what the practices may be the last couple of decades you're making the point It's a very important point that the U.S. attorney in Washington D.C. I believe his name is graves That he has his own authority to act that he doesn't have to sit around and worry about what the criminal division of the public integrity section or the U.S. attorney's office or the attorney general or anybody else has to say to open an investigation at a minimum and to bring an indictment correct That's exactly right He has all that authority and I'll tell you something else that I've learned relative to this The outgoing U.S. attorney at the time of January 6th Had identified a very small number of individuals that should be prosecuted And had indicated to DoJ that that was his intention They forced him out because he did not have the same vision that they did in terms of what they would turn the January 6th prosecution into And so I think about that and who they put in in their place and it is someone that will toe the line and follow what Washington D.C. wants And that is the greatest injustice we have because now we see that they will do make decisions and use their power to based on politics rather than based on the facts and the evidence which would result in a lot of people being prosecuted and put in jail including the Biden family

"Coming up on 5 minute news. Israel trades fire with Palestine in deadliest attack for decades. National archives asks former presidents to search for classified documents. And Trump lawyer John eastman faces disciplinary charges. It's Friday, January 27. I'm Anthony Davis. Israeli forces killed 9 Palestinians on Thursday, including at least 7 militants and a 61 year old woman, in the deadliest single incident in the occupied West Bank in two decades Palestinian officials said two rockets were fired from Gaza early Friday and Israel responded with air strikes on the territory, further escalating tensions. The Israeli military said both Palestinian rockets were intercepted by its Iron Dome missile defense system. It was the first such attack from the militant Hamas ruled territory since prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned to power at the head of a far right government that has pledged a tough line against Palestinian militancy. The raid in the jenin refugee camp and the rocket fire increases a risk of a major flare up in Israeli–Palestinian fighting and casts a shadow over U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's expected trip to the region next week. Raising the stakes the Palestinian authority said it would halt the ties that its security forces maintain with Israel in a shared effort to contain Islamic militants. Previous threats have been short lived, in part because of the benefits the authority enjoys from the relationship and also due to U.S. and Israeli pressure to maintain it. Hamas, the Islamic militant group that controls Gaza, had earlier threatened revenge for the raid. Violent escalations in the West Bank have previously triggered retaliatory rocket fire from the Gaza Strip, which in turn has brought Israeli air strikes down on the isolated and impoverished territory. The Palestinians plan to file complaints with the UN Security Council, International Criminal Court, and other international bodies. The national archives has asked former U.S. presidents and vice presidents to recheck their personal records for any classified documents following the news that president Joe Biden and former vice president Mike Pence had such documents in their possession. The archives sent a letter on Thursday to representatives of former presidents and vice presidents, extending back to Ronald Reagan to ensure compliance with the presidential records act. The act states that records created or received by the president are the property of the U.S. government and will be managed by the archives at the end of an administration. The archive sent the letter to representatives of former presidents Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan, and former vice presidents Pence, Biden, Dick Cheney, Al Gore, and Dan Quayle. Responsibility to comply with the presidential records act does not diminish after the end of an administration. The archives wrote in the letter. Freddie Ford, chief of staff, to former president George W. Bush, suggested in his response to the archives that bush's office did not believe a search was necessary, saying thank you for your note, we understand its purpose and remain confident that no such materials are in our possession. Handling of classified documents has been a problem off and on for decades from presidents to cabinet members and staff across multiple administrations, stretching as far back as Jimmy Carter, but the issue has taken on greater significance since disgraced former president Donald Trump willfully retained classified material at his Florida estate, prompting the unprecedented FBI seizure of thousands of pages of records last year. Conservative attorney John eastman, a lead architect of some of former president Donald Trump's efforts to remain in power after the 2020 election was slapped Thursday with a series of disciplinary charges in California that could lead to his disbarment. The state bar of California's chief trial counsel George cardona said in a statement that the 11 charges stem from allegations that eastman assisted Trump with a strategy not supported by facts to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 election by obstructing the count of electoral votes of certain states. Eastman, the former dean of Chapman university law school in Southern California, was one of Trump's lawyers during the election. He wrote a memo that argued former vice president Mike Pence could keep Trump in power by overturning the results of the election during a joint session of Congress convened to count electoral votes, critics of likened that to instructions for staging a coup. The state bar said eastman faces charges that he violated the business and professions code by making false and misleading statements that constitute acts of moral turpitude, dishonesty and corruption. In advising Trump, eastman's assessments were the product of comprehensive research of the law and historical records, including the Twelfth Amendment and electoral count act, supported by reasonable interpretation of legal and historical precedent scholarly analysis and legislative history. In his statement, cardona said the charges allege that eastman violated this duty in furtherance of an attempt to usurp the will of the American people and overturn election results for the highest office in the land, an egregious and unprecedented attack on our democracy.

"Decades now, some of the best shows in TV history have started with this. Yep, good old HBO It's most recent hits include season two of the white lotus and the Game of Thrones spin off house of the dragon. But some of those shows, especially Game of Thrones, have gotten a lot of criticism for their depiction and treatment of female characters. And the reason for that may lie in the history of the network itself, New York Times reporter John coblin, is co author of the new book. It's not TV, the spectacular rise revolution and future of HBO. And he joined us on Skype. I didn't really know this, even it was hiding in plain sight until I started reporting this book was that HBO from its earliest days, you know, they were doing everything differently from the broadcast networks. We can use phalang, which we can do nudity. But one thing that HBO is founding chairman or one of the earliest chairman, sort of its visionary guy named Michael fuchs. He said, you know, I think the broadcast networks, they tailored their programming to women. We're going to be in network for the men of the house and a woman is going to watch what he watches. And then research executives at HBO use the mantra. The man controls the remote control. So HBO's programming for decades was tailored explicitly to men, which helps explain series like real sex or dream on, which featured lots of nudity. And it's been really hard to shake off over the decades, even if you have a sex in the city, or even if you have a true blood, the vampire series that really appeals to female viewers, or even if you have a show like Lena Dunham's girls, there are so many HBO shows from boardwalk empire to Deadwood to Sopranos, lots of it takes place in strip clubs. Game of Thrones, they got in hot water many times because it really, so many scenes depicting sexual violence against women. And it's really only been in the last three, four, 5, 6 years, where HBO has made a true concerted effort to program with female leads and female centric storylines, shows that range from insecure. It's a big little lies, the mirror V sounds who I may destroy you. Or even the most recent season of House of the dragon, which has female protagonists. So HBO has had a real man woman tension, really from its founding. I'm going to sound a little bit like a snob, but HBO Max looks to me more and more like Netflix. There is premium content to be sure, but also stuff to me that looks like filler. HBO Max looks weird to me. It's a very fair complaint and it's not an uncommon one. When AT&T decided that HBO is going to be spun off into a new streaming service called HBO Max. They said it's got to be bigger and broader for it to compete with Netflix. So there's a lot of non HBO content on HBO Max. For instance, you'll find the entire back library of Friends. Hugely popular show, huge hit, not exactly an HBO show, likewise, you'll find The Big Bang Theory, usually popular show. Definitively not an HBO show. One of the concerns when HBO Max premiered in 2020 is if HBO is living alongside stuff that's not quite to the HBO level or the HBO caliber. It's not an HBO show. Will this make the HBO brand suffer? The answer that we've got in two and a half years later is no. HBO continues to make premium content, continues to clean up at the Emmy Awards. New York Times reporter John coblin co author of the new book it's not TV. The spectacular rise revolution and future of HBO. Coming up, we know who the starting QB will be

"Your hostess, Monique Ramsey, and today I have a special guest in her name is Sandra and she is a patient at l'oeil cosmetic in our medical spa. So welcome Sandra. Thank you. So tell us a little bit about yourself. Well, I just turned 57. This month and I've been a patient of la Jolla cosmetic for probably four to 6 years now. Wow, nice. You're loyal. We appreciate that. Something must be working, right? Yes, definitely. Yeah, so now a little birdie told me that you just had a halo laser treatment. And for those of you who are listening, the halo is a fractional laser made by saitan and Brittany, who is our one of our laser specialists. Is a siton national trainer, so she actually goes out and trains other providers. How to use it the best in Brittany did your procedure? Yes, she did. It's actually the third or fourth halo laser. She's done over the past couple of years. Wonderful. So the halo is great for sunspots, texture issues, any hyperpigmentation, like brown spots, wrinkles, and even some scars. And I think it's one of those lasers that our team loves because you can really customize the treatment to the patient. And so tell us about what areas you had treated and wind. Was it recently? The last one was recently two weeks ago today. Oh, my first one, I think was a end of 2018, 2019. Usually she does my face, chest and neck. The last halo we did just face full arms in hands. Oh, yeah. My chest and neck looking pretty good. Did it have to do a repeat there. So tell me about having that laser like, what was that like? Was it kind of what you were expecting? Because you've had it before, but then now you're treating your arms and your hands, tell us about the experience. It was what I expected. It's not painful. Stings a bed when they're doing it, but I didn't associate any pain with that. You might feel hot afterwards. That dissipated quickly. By the time I got home, I was really. Yeah, real quick. It also helps build collagen. So those effects take like three months down the road before you notice that. Immediately, you notice much clearer skin. She worked a lot on my pore size, so the pores around my nose are almost virtually gone. Wow. Yeah. That's nice. And diligent about using sunscreen and taking care of my skin. Not so much when I was younger, so the first time she did the halo like on my chest, it was amazing the difference. I have like no spots on my chest now. Wow. So now tell us what they did to make you comfortable during the treatment. What is the procedure and did you have medication? I did. I don't know exactly. Now, she told me that she had to take these pills. So yes, you do need a driver if you're going to take medication, I was just relaxed. You just feel comfortable. Everybody's pain tolerance. I'm sure it's different. It was actually relaxing to me. I saw people go, are you crazy? I'll have what she's having. Feels warm for a bed, but she did my face first, and then there's a wand that blows cold air and so I was cooling down my face while she started on my arms and before she was even done with one arm, my face felt fine. So when you're having your arms and your hands, was there any more sensation on them than your face or? Because I know sometimes on the face, like certain parts will just be more sensitive than others. Definitely. The arms and hands weren't sensitive. The faces a little more sensitive, I know another person who had halo and they thought it the heat was uncomfortable. So everybody is going to experience it different well, and you also had it a few times a year sort of used to it maybe, too? Yes. And that's part of it. But I know that that is something that you can dial it up and dial it down in terms of how aggressive maybe the laser is. And so depending on what your goals are, you know, if you're trying to deal with maybe pore size or scarring, that's going to be a different setting than like a little superficial something. So maybe that's some other reason why your experience is different than the lady down the street or the man. But that's nice to know that whatever they gave you, I think that's so important for people, you know, get a driver. Be nice to yourself. Don't try to grit it out just so you don't have to take a pill and drive yourself home, like have somebody pamper you. It's okay. And then you can have that column relaxing experience while you're having a procedure like you're describing. Exactly. So how did your morning go or your afternoon? When you had it done, you come in, I'm assuming they take some pictures of you. Yes, I came in. They take pictures first, and they put you in a room and they put numbing cream on the areas that will be treated. And I think they let that set probably about 30, 45 minutes. While I'm numbing up, one point Britney comes in and gave me the medication. And then let's give you probably 30 minutes to let that take a fact. And then they start the treatment. And then how long does the treatment take? So for those three areas you're your face, both arms and your hands. My appointment was around two. I think we're done at 5, but oh, okay. The treatment itself was probably an hour, hour and 15 minutes. And the rest is kind of the pre and the post. And yeah, the prep and numbing you up and making sure you're comfortable. Yeah. So when she got home, did you have to take additional ibuprofen or what was your immediate post-op sensation? She did give me some medication to take the first night. I think the reason being and we didn't do this in the past is that she was a little more aggressive with this treatment because she knows I could handle it. And we were trying to accomplish certain things. She was working on a couple of scars I did have on my face. So that night I did take the medication just because she said, take it, you want a good night's sleep. I did. I slept really good, woke up in the morning. You're going to be red. And you'll notice swelling, not a lot it just gave your face like a full look. I think day three, you're probably the reddest you're going to be. Same with swelling. And then it starts to dissipate. Well, that's interesting that you say that just because I know that with surgery, that's very typical that swelling and bruising actually increase until you get to day three. And that's going to be kind of a peak, and then things get better and a lot of people assume that that first 24 hours is going to be the peak of swelling and bruising. And it really isn't. So that's interesting that with the laser, it's really kind of the same. And the nice thing is, you know, when you said bruising with other procedures, there's no bruising at least. You do get red. And.

"A year for aspen to fill their order for four hundred million cova nineteen doses if they get enough supplies for the world. I'm alana The island nation of madagascar in the indian ocean continues to suffer from its worst drought in four decades. The lack of rain in southern madagascar led to crop failure and mass hunger. The un's world food programme's has more than a million people don't have enough. Food and tens of thousands are on the brink of starvation joining me to discuss the situation as shelley mackerel. The world food program last week you wrapped up a month. Long trip shelley to the most impacted reaches a madagascar. Tell us what you saw. Incredible logistically quite a treacherous journey to even get to the south. I started my journey on a sunday. I actually breached the south of four days later. These roads that are fairly impassable sort imagine driving over rocks. Full seven to eight hours then. Driving across bridges normally would stay flowing. Rivers gushing streams. This is cracked stunned. A gusts of winds almost halley type sandstorms that sweeping across a land. Which would not be. You'd be cultivating rice or maize is just crops and empty. What were people actually eating. Then when you were there apart from the russians that we give them often edges foraging eating whatever they can find that is planned studies leaves. That is this red. Cactus fruit is what we call survival coping mechanisms. There's a word in malagasy cooled kerry kennedy means empty stomach children who met some of the treatment centers for severe acute malnutrition. Children who you would look us in. You would think they were tiny toddlers but they probably five or six years old because poor nourishment under development obviously affects a child's growth. When you sit in the centers it's just silence. No energy children to laugh to speak i. I met one brother and sister who mother was in the field. I asked both the little boy and the little girl his sister what their names were they barely could lift their is to look at me and it was so sad to see tiny tiny children whose childhood is just spin stolen from them. The root causes of food insecurity can be pretty complex often political economic and climatic factors but the world food program has stated that in the case of madagascar climate. Change is the number one driving force. Explain that why is that believed to be so instead of the gas got monaco. It's absolutely apparent because of no rain and whenever it does rain it's never enough rain. It's not the right sort of rain. Thunderstorms swept across and destroy the land. Where you would normally be harvesting this community of people. One point three million people who are food insecure. They've done nothing to contribute to climate change. They don't burn fossil fuels and yet they are living on the front line of what is a deteriorating situation. So what kind of solutions is a world food program proposing short and long term. And where's the government of madagascar and all of this. So we all will concede with the government amount augusta and they will probably say the same as well. It's resources it's attention. It's awareness the wolf who program we've been asking for seventy eight point six million dollars to help get people out to this desperate situation. We are looking at other ways where we can help varmus who've lost their land to work in other means or give my car insurance so give some.

"What seen stand out in your mind. You see unarmed Hundreds of young and sometimes a few old black people coming out of the area areas of residents getting to the malls attacking the walls taking whatever they want to take and going away. But another surprising pig child's that day was the situation where you have a group of police standing around and just watch not doing anything in some instances. You'll have one to police who just go running with the crowd and the cloud will drop some items and runaway is a situation which you you can analyze in different ways because many people have twenty linked the whole thing to the imprisonment of former president. Is that jacob zuma. Some of them may give him cornered. The jacob zuma uprisings think that's cross simplification. Let's talk about that chellaney. The started protests over the former south african president jacob zuma is rest for contempt of court. But it's escalated very quickly into deadly riots. How did things spiral out of control. I think we need to demystify set narrative. Here jacob zuma was arrested or he handed himself over on wednesday on thursday. There was nothing. There was only nobody in townships. He's only on friday where there were bombs of trucks. A interrogated reveal as well as in pushups and so we might be trying to link the two jacob zuma arrest you know in township even now there were no slogans or chance or not billboards that says free jacob. Zuma jacob zuma has not affected in this the people on the ground where careless and they don't even care. Even today jacob zuma it is kind of amiss analysis to link the chaos with politics social linear. If you don't think that this was about politics what do you think it was about. Look remember the ishak. George floyd to in the you charge floyd was at the right time at the right space and the usa was charged with lots of issues. And so jacob zuma as i'm saying is is the same thing because what i'm trying avoid here is to give so much power influence to this person because this person as we speak as way. I'm sitting in their pain. No one talks about team. People are talking about. How are they supposed to survive. They're talking about covert and the even in streets even the anc branches rep not seen in preferentially saying let's meet and talk about the free jacob zuma campaign and so there's this disconnection between the anc politics now with the immediate needs of the society. Hans jacob zuma is no longer an issue in the price of the south africans quantity. Would you agree with that assessment..

"Like trying to kill dr manhattan. In order to claim the power of a god in lovecraft country with the braves wides and christina who are willing to sacrifice whatever is necessary in order to achieve immortality or the gate to the garden of eden in abbott with. What's his name bell. Cab who's like this wizard guy who is trying to bring about this quote unquote age of heroes in greek mythology and Oh that's what i was gonna say before about abbott and hip. Elida is this theme of tradition. That runs through both of these stories. And how abbott has like this routine. She's very structured in her life and over the course of the book. That routine is broken by her. Losing her job by her being phased with his dark magic and applied it has a similar experience of having to move away from tradition realizing the tradition that she has been subjected herself to has been something. That has shrunken her like. She says like when she has the moment where she goes into the multi-diverse machine and she meets the beyond like post humans. She comes back with the realization. That like all of these things that she thought she was satisfied in. We're just essentially these routines in the traditions that she had fallen into and allowed herself to become comfortable in You know it's like the boiling frog parable or analogy whatever where You know if you put a frog in cold water and slowly raised the temperature. It doesn't realize it's boiling and then it just dies without ever even trying to jump out of the water and so hippolyte elida has that Where she realizes that she's been shrinking yourself for so long and abbott. has that sense of. She has her routine. She has structure. She's the same thing everyday. She drinks to brandies before bed. And then like we see that extreme sense of tradition reflected bag in this other evil character bell cap who is constantly talking about how the world has moved into this more like a feminine age of wit and we need to go back to like the traditions of strength and blood and heroism and all of these things that are reflected as the extremes of what traditional ism and quote unquote conservatism mean. And so like all of these things are just like throughout all of these stories. And i just oh my god. I'm so i'm starting geeking out right now hardcourts. Please stop me at any point if you. I'd like prompt to post human. Keep going Yeah i mean. I think you're right. I think you chose a really beautiful quartet of properties to be in conversation with each other because there's also connections between them in different ways as well so i think you know one of the things i really loved about far sector and abbott are you know. There's a lot of weirdness in them and it doesn't feel like a complicated criminals. It feels like a very casual quickness which is very refreshing and then lovecraft country you know has this huge grappling with what is quickness mean and how were men formed around their clearness. How does ruby discover what could be or could have been her quickness with watchmen. There is a clear story live like her grandfather is clear her grandfather has that whole thing with captain metropolis which own now. That story who. That was a really good story on the intersection between race and quietness because who fucking white gay man like thugs will over like and that is something like if we want to talk about like racism within the community. If you wanna talk about the viking double gut punch of being black and queer young actually washington does a really good job with that too..

"I completely agree. I think that they're so powerful on their own. But then when you put abbott and lovecraft country together they they just make each other stronger. Like there's just there's so much being discussed around the power of black women and the burden put on black women to be powerful. I mean i think the story for me honestly and lovecraft country that blew. My mind was actually us. I was so moved by her arc and also like he into her blue hair. I mean who's not And that was just to me it. Really as sort of a subplot reinforcing. The plot that led he's going through and sort of you know only because talking about them together reinforcing. The plot that abbott is going through. I just thought it was a really powerful way to took like you said showed vulnerable people and show their vulnerability being a part of their strength. Yeah and i think that when you bring up hep elida. That also reminded me of you know what we're abbott is a five issue comic book so it really is focused on this one character. But there's a lot more that you get see when you have a show like lovecraft country where you get you know ten episodes and there is more it is more of an ensemble so it's not like a one to one in terms of abbott and latisha but there are these things that go along with each other that i really loved and with watchmen and fire sector. They're both more on like the science fiction side of things. They're both set in more of a modern day setting where the fire sector. It's within the same like time period as current day. But again an alternate reality where free lanterns and super man's batmans exist And we have someone who know both sojourner mullane joe mullane in far sector angela. A bar have gone from you. Know joe from the military to the police force to agree lantern and angela was like the child of a military veteran and became a police officer and then became. Kind of a mass. Vigilante who was based on the world is presented within watchmen. They are pretty much. The same as vigilantes work extra judicially and so that was another one was like. Oh this is really a another set of parallels that i didn't realize until reading and watching these things together and seeing how these characters lineup again too so i i was just like really like laughing like every other time i was like oh i just like that's like something. That just happened in watchmen. We have these different things of reno seeing people in power who are willing who are willing to essentially like burn it all down rather than in any way seed their power to like people that they considered to be inferior. That's something that happens through. All of these stories we see on the seven cavalry..

Nineteen eighty one or two years. Yeah he's funny. And then before the was around soundsystem so Impossible sorry i cut you there. No no it's okay. One thing we were talking about before we started recording was gone the same way. I'm a traveling salesperson right. So i travel.

"You that just wasn't a coincidence. That was something we wanted to bring to mainstream in a he then signed to island records. we got a number one in jamaica where you have to understand that the music we will always use the music coming to us from from mak- yeah and then we were able to send something back and then for him to go there and get a standing ovation sung splash. That was an achievement. Not just from me for all of us growing up in england you know so i feel like It it's been a strange you know push and pull talk you know because i also don't want to let go the opportunity or be able to to be able to break through so you know i add to kind of suffer a little bit of that on the way by much succeeding through the suffer. Yeah i i guess you know. Nothing good comes easy all the saying like when you were growing up you know whether it was jimmy cliff for bob. Any of the initial reggae artists. Now you're now you're one of them. You're now the younger guys are looking up to you. And now you know you're playing with your sons and you chairing this a whole it's so re-live as as you rightly said it's surreal. Because i remember as a kid in my house just playing. Dennis brown playing the browns singing. Every word lick that you know that. He came out with and Trying to implicate that. By the time i had the opportunity to have sound system and go out and road until then to meet dentist and then to toll within this To share conversations as a friend is just amazing. You know and and greg grew Mentioned the jimmy cliff. I only met bob once. And that was as a young kid going to one of his concerts in Crystal palace and i only met him really in passing as he was getting on his boss after the After the concert. But i i remember clearly you know just in searching than going for the boss because i had to saying did standing there. I don't. I didn't even say anything to him..

"Sitting there with dave baloney and dave in georgia's. We're gonna bring back darth maul and then you know of course you got you got davies in an interesting interesting interesting. Yeah roc maybe maybe possibly dumb robot no but he literally he looks to george. George thank you. Cut him in half. I mean if you hear the story. That's dave says he's like he's dead. George george and georgia's like now we're gonna bring it back and they do and it changes the entire trajectory of co moore's it becomes the clone wars. You should literally watch the clone wars thinking before darth maul and after darth maul when you when you watch them chronologically because story changes Everything gets moving forward the stuff that just sat teen the stuff with the mandalorian that we have at the end. You know all of this stuff. That happens happens because they bring darth maul back. The same exact thing happens in star wars rebels. You have pre darth maul and you have after darth maul now. The beautiful thing about that is you do get season two with a soka and aitor vader thing at the end of the apprentice but they had to make a decision going into season three. What are we going to do now. But they had darth maul in their back pocket. They could bring dr mollie and that changes season three. It makes him one of the most beautiful seat. Well he's at the end of season. Two right out of the apprentice where polling right. It's darth maul. Changes star wars rebels as much if not more than he changes the clone wars and then we go all the way back. Now that they bring back season seven of the of the clone. Worst they come back with that. And what does the story really that everybody wants to talk about. Cj mandalorian darth maul and with that. And and he's just a parakeet. Do they bring him into comic books. They do all this stuff. Darth maul has a massive impact. I think that's what your instincts are made But but i think that it's bigger than just his impact on this film. I'm thinking of his impact on the future star..

"A number of reasons. But so you're saying you want him to be the thanos of star wars. So oh god no no no i 'cause i i like as he was handled and the mcu at all. Because what was sandwiches like i. I'll do anything to get these these stones. I did anything to get. These stones snap destroying our bright. That was his are character in the comic books. What do you think about this idea. With ron and everything i mean i'm just of course i've been that guy for the past three years. That has been lobbying for something. Something rebels just something else. And i was so excited. To hear thrones name mentioned in mandalorian season two. I was great. And then we got the announcement and i was ecstatic but there was one thing that i was very held back by. I'm like they need lars mikkelsen to play throat and they can't have anybody else because he has the voice just down i mean well. It's it's what we associated with the listening to the heir to the empire audiobook twentieth anniversary edition. It was mark thompson reading it. It was it was great. It was and you're listening to it. And i'm like voices just not the same. It's not. I have you guys. I think it's Just checking this year. I believe it is the original version. I believe it was read by dennis. Law was the original one. That's how i was exposed to the originally. I was listening to bat version within his. Did you like sound effects. Because of the effects in that in the denis lawson version audio trial ago orchestral tracks and and everything it was fully dramatized but it was really cool because it was all mark thompson doing the voices. He's pretty good with i when since it was. Since we're talking about it like your air the empire like ecg. You guys You were experienced the sequel trilogy first before you listen to this the Disney canon. I who like what is what your thoughts on like how han lucan layer were portrayed in that book That's a great question. I really do think that when they put into the new canon. I think that haunt is very similar from the empire to now. We got to think about the books as well. I mean bloodlines it. Sound in the exact same if felt like for a second there. They're picking up the same kind of breadcrumbs. I mean he. He decided to abandon the rebellion because he didn't want any. Yeah there's a lot of and then. He went to do racing which was awesome and then he was kind of just a freelancer now and so i felt like they portray. They're portrayed fantastic laya with strange specifically because we didn't know she really use the force the way she did. It was right there front and center in the empire. It's not an way equal rise. It's really the only thing that we know about that and so it was. It was really cool to see that. Luke it's weird because he feels more like a diplomat than jet. I master so. That's the only reason that kind of started to get disconnected. And i honestly from my perspective i grew of course grew up the the sequel trilogy rather than heir to the empire. I prefer the version of luke. We have now over the empire. Because i like to see the person that never gave up on the jet i order and i like that i mean while..
