NY Times Denies History and Border Stats
"Times this morning, a direct quote. Historically, there is no conclusive evidence that more aggressive enforcement and more punitive sanctions deter mass migration. It took me 5 minutes to find the stats from customs and border Selena in 2020, fiscal year, 458,000 migrant encounters at the border in fiscal year 2021, 1 million 734,000 in fiscal year 2020 2 million 379,000. How does The New York Times say there is no historical evidence that enforcement matters? Because they want to not because they're, I mean, I don't know there used to be fact checkers in newsrooms. I'm not quite sure what happened there. It's just so absurd. Absurd. And so I just wonder if you talk to people, who do they believe in, you can't believe The New York Times. You just can't believe NBC. You can't believe people anymore. Yeah. You know, this has been this has been building for a while. You remember Brad and I wrote about this in our book. It was part of what started to form the conservative populist coalition before Trump, but also you see it on the left as well. You know, there is a reason why voters are on a bit of a bender. And that has a lot to do with the fact that the institutions and the cultural curators that we trust is most of our lives and our parents trusted our grandparents trusted have proven in this past two generations to then full of doo doo.

Why Tolerance Is Needed in Sports Today
"Selena, I tried to teach last week the masterpiece cake shop case to my con law students and a few of them were very upset that Jack Phillips didn't bake the cake. And I tried to explain to them why we don't make anyone bend the knee to anyone in the United States coercing them with government authority. Now, the penguins and the flyers are not the government. And the NHL is not the government. So it's not a First Amendment case, but boy oh boy, there used to be a tradition of tolerance when when you and I were young, which was the afterglow of decades of religious discrimination that was evil and vile, and it's behind us now, but it apparently is returning. Well, here's the problem you. People, this young people that your teaching, they don't know about the importance of faith in life because faith is an important in your life. Other things have replaced faith in their life. I often point to climate change in the server around climate change. That's how you people use your response to defending their faith. Now they do is to respond to secular ideals because faith isn't as important in young people's lives because their parents are faithful.

Who Is Ron DeSantis?
"Ron DeSantis is a sort of. I'm not sure if he speaks shins or his grandparents are from the valley. The mahoning valley. So he speaks northeastern Ohio. He knows the land, but I don't know if he speaks yins or because there are some of us who don't go over there and then there are others of us who are basically in the injury resistance in Ohio. Selena zito is one of them who crosses the border at night and comes over to Ohio to report on things and then dashes back to injury land. Zito salina on Twitter, zito, Selena on Twitter. She got a brand new story up. She was following Ron DeSantis around on the undeclared campaign trail this weekend. Good morning, Selena. Good morning, you. How are you today? I'm terrific, does the Florida governor speak insert? No, he does not. You have to remember that his mom is from Poland, which is right by Youngstown. Poland, Ohio, not Poland, Poland, near Vienna, Ohio. In Ohio. Yes. And his uncle was a priest there. His aunt is so there are deep roots in that whole sort of steel valley area. Do you have any idea which church uncle pastor that was at saint roses in Gerard? Do you have any idea? I do, but I don't really have it. You got to go write a story on that parish festival this summer.

"Similarities. A while ago, Selena Gomez had got this G on the back of her ear. That represented her sister Gracie, her little sister Gracie. And so did Haley, I don't know what the G stands for for her, but so then let's get on this subject too, because this is creepy to me as well. These are all Selena's close friends. They're not like entertainment people. They're like regular people. And obviously they look happy as friends, okay? But yes, I'm going there. I'm going there, watch, watch, watch. Not only did Hailey follow every single one of her friends, I was in that picture with her. She legit hung out with every single one of them. If this isn't giving you single white team or not because she's white but literally the movie single wife female that I don't know what it is. Honestly, you know what, I think it's just time for a Montage. Don't tell me these people aren't directing these little videos or these tiktoks or whatever towards Selena is so obvious. When you get to be my age, it's even more obvious. And like back to Hailey Bieber, girl, Selena get her cooking show, she been having one for how long and now you can cook shown now. You say, okie dokie, like you just created the shit. Bitch box. Like if I was Selena, I'm sorry. They're so much embarrassing evidence on the Internet of Hailey Bieber. I would have just started posting it. To my story, no context. No, no, nothing, just the embarrassing shit. It's not a matter of right person wrong time. Right time wrong person, whatever it was, because it was never put up a big herb pillar bullshit. I just want all of these people to, you know, pop their arm back in the socket because they're reaching so hard. There's a lot of drama that is just speculative. And I think what they're doing is just taking a lot of some of these posts out of context, being like, oh my God, are you seeing this? It's like, it's really not that crazy, but anyways. No, I think you're right. But that's the context for the present situation, which began in January 2023. And the TLDR of this current situation is stop posting. Just stop it. Please. For me and boys. Put for me and boys was the sake. There's too many posts to go through. Yes, the prep for this show today. I was running marathon. I was like, oh my God, oh my God, and the people came over to talk to me. I was like, no, no, no. You shut up. I have things to do. Yes, that's exactly how I feel. Exactly. And the thing is we didn't even cover it all. Again, we didn't even get into the kidney transplant, but anyway, we're in January 2023. She returns to Instagram after yet another social media break. This is also around the time that she's dealing with a lot of fatphobic trolling because a photo of her in a bikini where she looks phenomenal to be clear went viral. And people are like, oh my God, Selena gained weight. And it's like, shut the fuck up. I'm tired of this fucking return to skinniness that we're all dealing with. Fuck all zip. Anyway. Around the same time, Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner post a video with their lip syncing to, you know that TikTok audio that goes, I'm not saying she deserved it, but I'm saying God's timing is always right. It feels shady. That feels shady. You don't just post that without any like for no reason. There's always context behind any TikTok audio. Exactly. And the NEPA baby stick together is all I'm gonna say. Because not according to Haley, when people suggested that she might have been throwing shade at Selena, she responded, I never comment on this type of thing. But we're just girls having a girls night. And they're random TikTok for fun. It's not directed at anyone. I think that you're right that a lot of the other stuff was a reach, but I don't buy that I don't buy that rationale. Also a month after that entire thing happens a video of Haley making fun of Selena's current bestie Taylor Swift resurfaces. And Selena decides to weigh in, saying, so sorry. My best friend is and continues to be one of the best in the game. So the flames are being fanned, you know? I'm literally my face is in my hands right now because you know as Selena is a type of person who does not like to stoke drama, she literally just stoked drama by saying this. Like why? Why did you do this? This is why I can't support anyone wholeheartedly because they always just get themselves into more drama than they said that they want and then when they do the thing that they're like, I didn't want this. Girl, it's enough. We know, we know. Exactly. And here's where the eyebrow lamination comes in. For people who don't know, eyebrow laminating is this process that's basically like perming your eyebrows. So you don't have to spend as much time doing them. You like chemically straighten them so they lay in a certain direction. And recently, Selena posted a video saying that she over laminated her eyebrows, which if you have seen the soap brow trend on TikTok where we're doing like kind of really aggressive, almost like Groucho Marx esque eyebrows, that's what over laminated eyebrows look like. So she posts this being like, I'm so relatable and everyone was like, he you look great. A few hours later, Kylie Jenner posts a picture of herself on Instagram stories with the words this was an accident over her brows. Then the next image on her story is a photo of her brows and Hailey Bieber's brows. When I first walked into this booth and we started recording this episode, I was of the assumption that it was just an accidental picture that Kylie took and was just like, ha ha, this was funny and just posted it. What really tips me off to this being shade was the FaceTime screenshot that Kylie uploaded of her and Hailey Bieber's brows, which I was like, now that's a little weird. I don't know if I like that, but hey, I don't know. Maybe it's just placement. I don't know. Hey, hey, Stranger Things have happened. Exactly. I feel like some people know what they're doing, but then some people are not as bright and are just stoking the flames by accident, but if we know the Kardashian clan, as you have spoken about on your last episode, they know what they're doing, they thrive off of press cycles. That's how they stay relevant. Exactly. And so I just feel like it's a little too coincidental. There's a little bit too many of these Clinton sentences that keep happening. Where some shade is being thrown and then we're immediately backtracking saying, it was just a coincidence. But someone posts this interaction on TikTok, the stories being posted, Selena's eyebrow lamination journey. And both Kylie and Selena comments on it. Kylie comments, this is reaching no shade towards Selena ever. And I didn't see her eyebrow posts. You guys are making something out of nothing. This is silly. Selena follows up with a greed at Kylie Jenner. It's all unnecessary. I'm a fan of Kylie. Sure Jan. Yeah. That same day. Selena announces she is once again taking another social media break. Wasn't this also on TikTok live when she was getting the little hats put on her while she was like, guys, I'm too old for this and they put the little exactly. Exactly. She says, I'm 30 and I'm too old for this, but I love you so much and I'll see you guys sooner than later. I'm just going to take a break from everything. And thus concludes the current saga or as much as we can explain in a 30th 35 minute podcast. So now we have to do the most important part of this podcast and I have to ask, whose side are you on voices? Are you team Haley? Are you team Selena?

Remember how before the break I mentioned that Jelena had a lot of fans, including Hailey Baldwin. Again, you might be asking, Rachel, how do you know this? The answer is, I know everything, stop asking that question. But the real answer is, because Hayley holas tweeted about this, which is just never tweet. Never tweet, I just feel like right now. Voice was just figured out never to tweet. And now we know Hailey should have never tweeted. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So in May of 2011, Hailey tweets, I'm for sure 100% team, Jelena, then in September 2011, she writes another Julia tweet. She says, I don't care what anyone says, but Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez together is the definition of a teenage dream, hashtag word. I need to take a moment to remember 2011 and the fact that it wasn't completely out of the blue to see someone tweet out hashtag word. You know what? I'm gonna go and control F right now if I tweeted it. So I honestly might have said some embarrassing shit like that, but at the time I do not remember fondly. It was very embarrassing for us all very much so. It was a bad time. It was a really bad time. These tweets that were mentioning are important, not least because they remind us of that bad time. But because they're used very often by selenators who wish to suggest that Haley is obsessed with Selena. Importantly, we haven't yet mentioned Haley's a nepo baby. I feel like we need to get that out the way. She's the niece of Alec Baldwin. Yeah, I was talking to the person who sits next to me in the office, and she was like, what is she famous for? And I was like, what is she famous for? I have no idea. I literally could not tell you besides her dad being a Baldwin brother. That's it. One of them. I think it's Steven Baldwin. So, yeah, she's famous for being famous, is basically what happened. Which means that when Hailey and Justin get engaged about three months after Selena Justin break up for the last time, a lot of people are like, we're making choices here. The school lunch tables, when that happened. We were shaking. Literally, I was like, guys, do you know what's going on right now? And they're like, what? Who cares? I do. For one, I will tell you, and I'm going to explain exactly why it matters. And I did. And now here I am. You are ready for your career. Yeah, exactly. Haley and Justin get engaged a few months after Selena Justin break up, and then Hailey and Justin get married, a few short months after that. And it's just like, what? This is also around when I think I started tuning in to this saga because I definitely ignored Jelena mostly and then also ignored whatever was happening with Hailey and Justin. But this was this was Justin's Hillsong era. This was his redemption tour era. what a time that was. Around the same time, Selena takes yet another social media break. Posting a selfie with the caption, taking a social media break. Again, which means that she was quiet for a while. And by a while, I mean like a few months. After a few months, she returns to social media. She starts making new music, including lose you to love me, which is rumored to be about Hailey and Justin because it includes a line that goes in two

"I want to see the receipts. Today, we'll be answering questions from Ruth, who sent us an email asking us to break down the beef between Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber, NI Baldwin. And I have to say we got you Ruth, but the thing is, we can not just start with the current battle being waged in common sections of Instagram stories and TikTok videos. Because this battle has a long history. It's more of a war. I was gonna say, I was like, this is just a small battle, and a very long war that Selena Gomez has had with social media. Like, it goes all the way all the way back to the dawn of time. Well, okay, not that far, but so it feels like the dawn of YouTube. Back in like 2008, but she does have a rich history online and, you know, it involves some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. Yes, over the past decade ish, Selena has skyrocketed from being a child star to being half of one of the most famous couples in the world. Before finally landing in her current era, which I describe as girl boss makeup mogul era, you know? It's given girl boss. It's giving girl boss. During that time, she also became the most followed person on Instagram, a fact which surprises me every single time I hear it, despite how much time I spend on the Internet. I don't know why. I'm like, what? I always think that too. I'm like, what is it about? Anyways. And that is the question we're gonna answer. What is it about Selena? And then I'm, I remind myself of exactly why. Yeah, I mean, it's like, how does she manage to be at the center of controversy every few years? Controversy that usually involves Justin Bieber. While simultaneously amassing one of the largest audiences known to the Internet, while also maintaining a reputation for being, I would say like a pretty chill celebrity overall. Yeah, back to the standards, yeah. Yeah. So those are the questions we're here to answer today. How does she do it? After

Is the US Being Tested by UFOs?
"So Selena Zeno, welcome good morning to you. Now back on Twitter at zito, Selena, Selena, Selena, did the UFOs make you go back on Twitter? No. Okay. Just checking. Now, I have a theory, which I've already introduced this money that the UFOs are actually a DEI initiative to get Lake Huron in the news. Since it's always excluded from the coverage of the Great Lakes, what do you think? I think it no. No, I don't think that's it. I can't even go with this. That's not, that's not why it happened. Thank you. It's so beautiful, too, right? I'm sure you've been there. Well, yeah, but nobody, if you ask people to name the Great Lakes, they get four out of 5, and nobody knows Lake Huron. And it's just really, it's been it's a 200 year old problem that nobody cares. Nobody knows where it is. And so finally, we brought him into the front pages.

On this week's AP Religion Roundup, Pope Francis makes a historic trips to Africa, and psychedelic churches are pushing the boundaries of law and religion.
"On this week's AP religion roundup. Pope Francis makes a historic trip to Africa and psychedelic churches are pushing the boundaries of law and religion. Pope Francis made a plea for peace in South Sudan as he began a mission Friday to the world's youngest country. Francis cited years of war and clashes on the eve of his arrival that killed 27. The overwhelmingly Christian South Sudan gained independence from the majority Muslim sedan in 2011, along with Civil War, flooding and other calamities have displaced more than 2 million people there. The Pope's visit to South Sudan follows his visit to the Democratic Republic of Congo. A highlight of his Congo visit was a rally in Kinshasa, where Francis led 65,000 young people in a rousing denunciation of political corruption. Recent demand for a psychedelic tea called ayahuasca has led to the formation of hundreds of what many calls psychedelic churches across the U.S.. Growing numbers of people are flocking to churches like this one in Utah. And it's been used ceremonially. It's been used socially. It's been used as medicine. Doctor Selena sumaya is a researcher at Columbia University. She says the drug has been used in the Amazon basin for thousands of years. Federally, ayahuasca is still considered a schedule one substance, meaning that it has medicinal purpose, meaning that it is largely illegal. Church organizers argue a 2006 Supreme Court ruling protects them from prosecution. I had so much gratitude. Adherence like Lorenzo Gonzalez argue ayahuasca brings them closer to God. I can't wait for today's experience because I got all that evilness out of me and I want to see what joy I'm going to get next. It's popularity has increased in the west in part due to celebrities sharing their experiences with the substance. I'm Walter ratliff.

Selena Gomez Opens up About Her Struggles With Bipolar
"We hop over to Selena Gomez. Selena's opening up even more about her struggles with bipolar disorder, she said she had suicide thoughts and checked into four different treatment centers, Jesus. She says, I think when I started hitting my early 20s is when it started to really get dark. When I started to feel like I was not in control of what I was feeling, whether that was really great or really bad. She didn't interview for Rolling Stone magazine and she recounts having extreme highs and lows for weeks or months before she understood that she was bipolar and she got her diagnosis. And at times she said she'd have symptoms of mania, like feeling the need to buy everybody in her life a car. So she could share a gift. I understand that people feel the way. I bought cars, not that I had one smidgen of the money. This girl has, but when I had a taste, I bought myself a car, but Joey a car. I mean, yeah, it was like, let's go. Let's have some fun before this runs out. Stupid shit. But plenty of stories to tell. And then she'd fall into a deep state of depression and not be able to get out of bed. And in her darkest moment, she said, I thought the world would be better if I wasn't there. And that's what one of my friends told me about who had thought about suicide in his life. Because I had used to have this attitude of like, how do you kill yourself if you have children? How do you want to, how do you do that? How do you lead your kids behind? Whether you do it with a gun or a bunch of pills or jump off a roof, how do you like the kids just know daddy gave up? And my buddy said, it isn't like that. He said, when you want to kill yourself, you really feel that everybody around you would be better off with you gone. And that's here what she's saying. That's what Selena's saying. And it's so sad for somebody so young to say that. And after a 2018 episode, she says she ended up on a ton of meds, which helped her psychosis, but made her feel unlike herself. I swear to God, nobody in Hollywood has a happy story to tell anymore.

Democrats Have Forgotten the Forgotten Man
"So have you guys heard of it the same way as Versailles, but it's not Versailles, Versailles, Pennsylvania. Or bird sales Ohio. For cells, Kentucky. I had never heard of these places and their spell just like Versailles, but they have nothing in common with the palace that for centuries, symbolized the ruling class that was deeply out of sync with their people with the rest of its nation. So there's Ohio, there's Kentucky. Again, there's also Pennsylvania. Selena zito writes about this. There's a verse right here in western Pennsylvania that she discusses that she talks about. That's her neck of the Woods. When it comes to Ohio, there's a historic little village that is known as her sales when it comes to Kentucky. It's bourbon country, according to Selena zito, and it's also the epicenter of American horse breeding. Very interesting. I want to take you back to Biden celebration of the economy. Remember that big celebration they had at The White House James Taylor was there. They were getting their groove on, celebrating the inflation reduction act, the very same time, literally while they were celebrating the stock market was straight up plunging. Inflation, then we got news that inflation was basically remaining steady, Biden was talking about it's only an inch, you know, 8.8 .28 .3. It's a, you know, it's only it's only an inch. We talked about that some yesterday. But what Selena zito is telling us is how far out of touch when she goes out and speaks to the people and gets the pulse of the people to come and man. The Democrat party that used to proclaim that they are the party of the working class that they are the party of Middle America are simply out of touch.

Memorial to Flight 93 Victims Is a Moving Story
"Selena, you wrote a wonderful moving remembrance of shanksville. And the passengers that fought back into the hijacking on 9 11. It was really a marvelous column. First thing I posted, maybe one of the few things I posted about 9 11 because there's a lot of imagery, but I like people to read about it. How is the reaction to that? No, I received a lot of emails, a lot of direct messages. I really wanted to focus shanksville is not far from where I live. And it's the only place on September 11th outside of New York and Washington that was hit. But there was this makeshift memorial that began because I mean, I don't know this is a fast, but I assume this happened because the family members of the men and women that were on flight 93, each brought something on September 17th when they went to visit the site and they left it there. And all that was there was some mud and some hay that they put on top of this little mound of hell that overlooked the crash site. But within days, people started coming there, sort of like a pilgrimage almost. And they left a partisan themselves there. I'm

Salena Zito Joins Hugh to Discuss the Pennsylvania Senate Race
"Matters more than the Pennsylvania Senate race. There are some that matter as much, but if John fetterman beats Doctor Oz in Pennsylvania, be very hard to get to 51 or 52 that the Republicans need. Selena zito will be on the show. I think between ten times between now and the election day. And so Selena, I gotta ask you, how's this feel to you? 'cause it seems to me that fetterman still isn't well and Doctor Oz is out there working it hard. How does it feel on the ground in Pennsylvania? It feels like what a statewide race tradition traditionally feels like in this state. And with the exception that federman is an out there and awe is out there all the time. Now, I think it's kind of fascinating if you read the reports outside of, you know, in D.C. or out of New York, they're saying, oh, Oz isn't anywhere. Well, he's exhausting. He's everywhere. He is doing that sort of unglamorous, unsexy thing of just going around the state, logging on now, more importantly, logging on relationships and rebuilding them with people. As we all know, it was a pretty ugly primary, but most primaries are ugly.

Can John Fetterman Overcome Health Issues to Win Pa Senate Race
"Selena good morning, how are you? Good morning, sunshine. How are you? I'm great. I need an update on John fetterman. The democratic nominee for senator will be facing Doctor Oz. I have tried to decipher what the story is on his health. What do you know? What I know is that he was, he in 2017, his doctor had told him that not only did he need to lose weight, he was a 400 pounds, but he also had a heart condition, and he needed to be taking blood thinner. You know, I mean, it really compartmentalizing it, but that's basically what they told him. What he did do is lose the weight. It was sort of dramatic, very quickly, he lost it. But he didn't ever go back to the doctor. Never took the blood center. And that is why he fell ill, it was not why he had the stroke, but that is why he fell ill and had to have the pacemaker. And so he never sort of revealed this and now that's all caught up with him. And his doctor put out a statement the other day, say, you know, saying in effect, you know, this is what happened. He almost died and we now have him in a pacemaker and taking the blood thinner and he's on the road to recovery.

The Left's Hold on the Black Community Is Coming to an End
"I want to get right to our guest. Someone who I have an amazing amount of respect for, I read basically everything he puts out. If there's an op-ed by this man, I read it. He's kind of the senior Professor of the conservative movement, and we are honored to have this great patriot with us today. Newt Gingrich, mister speaker, welcome back to the program. Thank you for that warm introduction. As long as you say those nice things, I'll always show up. Well, then we have a deal. So I want to talk about your piece. Democrats hold on the black community is ending, this is something that people have been talking about for a couple years. It was a wonderful piece, walk our audience through it. Well, we've been working on a project that Bernie Marcus launched back in 19 18, looking at the question of could you find an American majority that would be large enough and stable enough that you could really get the big things done we need to get this country back on the right road. And because of my background, both working with Ronald Reagan and then with the contract with America in creating the first Republican House majority in 40 years, we had sort of an instinct for how to do this. What's happened, of course, is that Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer mean, let's be fair. They all work together. They've created such a bad performance record at levels people feel. There was a brilliant article the other day by Selena zito, who's one of the great students of American politics. And she said, she was interviewing people in small towns in western Pennsylvania who said to her, look, I can't find baby formula without going to four or 5 stores. And I can't afford the gasoline to go to four or 5 stores. So Joe Biden is hitting me and every possible way. And I think what all that's doing is we have to remember, African Americans are as pocket sensitive as Latinos or Asian Americans or for that matter, caucasians. And they're looking out there that say, it ain't working.

Twitter and the Failure to Protect Conservatives
"Do you think they have hurt town hall or hot air in any way? Because I just don't think Twitter does anything bad. They allow people to harass people. That's the one thing that they never ever moderate is attacks on conservatives, like Selena zita was driven from Twitter. Well, if you think that if you think that they're impacting the news, why wouldn't you think that they'd be using that same power to impact the people who express heterodox viewpoints? I mean, again, I mean, one of the things that Elon Musk is saying that he will do is that he will make the algorithms public and he will he will have complete transparency on whatever moderation that Twitter is currently doing and what they will move to.

What Does the Media Miss About Real Americans?
"Well, Selena, what are what is the mainstream or, as I like to call it, regime media, missing about America that you're seeing when you go out and actually talk to Americans between the coasts? Well, I think part of the problem in our major newsrooms is the majority of the people that work in them. Come from this sort of super zip code of our country, right? From the centers of wealth and power, there's nothing wrong with that. However, that does give you a different viewpoint. And I think newsrooms are also filled with people that went through the same Ivy League schools. There's not people that went to a community college or State College. I mean, up until recently, up until Watergate, most journalists didn't even go to college, but what made them really, really good at their job, was that they lived in their community. They

It's almost not even a thing anymore. And i think that it reached the level of popularity that it did because of her.

Selena lat next media audiences and niche marketing historical and contemporary issues of lat next representation and identity formation maintenance on digital media. That sounds like a cool class. Just because it's a car back in two thousand sixteen. Her waxed figure was unveiled. At madame to sos hollywood. i saw we. We got pictures on instagram and super baked and in the same year mac. Cosmetics released a limited edition. Selena makeup line after there was a petition circulated for the company to do so and that petition got thirty seven thousand signatures so they created it and it became the best selling celebrity line and cosmetics history well in two thousand sixteen so like the superstardom the impact has not slowed and then in two thousand nineteen forever. Twenty one launched a clothing line celebrating her legacy and twenty twenty one. She was posthumously presented with the grammy lifetime achievement awards which her family received on her behalf and last selena's own life size bronze statue monument. Mirador floor or look out of the flowers was unveiled in nineteen ninety seven in corpus christi. And it's estimated that about thirty thousand visitors come every single year to her monument. So like i said in terms of pop culture sling life and living legacy has impacted the world more than any episode. We've done so far and it's going to continue to do so into the future it's incredible it's really incredible and we do all this research but now saying it out loud and talking about it just feel overwhelmed with this feeling of sadness at what was lost. You know for me when this happened. I was in my early twenties and definitely had an awareness of it at that time was very ensconced in my white bubble and not too aware of her before her death but certainly after there was a sense of because she hadn't quite achieved mega stardom yet. At least in like i'm using air quotes mainstream slash white media. She didn't yet have that. Like veil of fame right so when she died. It felt very personal. And you know i think. The scene of the crime fans flocked to immediately wile yolanda was still in the truck with the gun. There were fans on the scene and the news where there and so it was reported on. I think in a way that felt very like not like every person but had much more every person quality than you would see on the coverage of someone who has already who had already achieved that superstar status and so i think for that reason it really connected with a lot of people and resonated and brought her to like the larger awareness of american culture. But you know we talked a little bit about where she might be. And you know when i read a friend of her saying that you know she. She made music but fashion was her real passion and when you look back at her childhood do you. Kind of wonder maybe was music. Her dad's passion and she carried that on so would she have even continued in music. Or would she have become a business person. Like fashion icon. Or would she have done both and she could have gone into movies. And and a lot of the ways in which superstars conduct business now she was already all over that shit back then so i think she would've had like align at target and she would have had you know a makeup blind way before she ended up she would have done all of that she really was a visionary i think when it came to to business probably like riana yes..

But i imagine some of the work ethic as well But that's not the only retailing. Recently in two thousand twenty net flicks released the first season of selena the series which is another telling of her rise to fame and the sacrifices she and her family made along the way and so this series is also authorized by the family in her dad and her sisters who were worked with the producing and it wasn't a critical success per se but netflix announced that this was watched by twenty five million households in the first twenty eight days of its debut. Wow and i think. Probably introducing her to a whole new generation of people who may be aware of our no her music but don't really know her story but it's not just the music the movie. The tv shows numerous documentaries so many true crime series There's lots of ways that selena continues to impact the culture She's known as the queen of colombia because she was one of the first musicians to sing in the style which incorporated hip hop beats and disco style dance because of this many historians and critics believed that without her success.

"I have sympathy with him in those moments of being faced with fears for his kids future and not knowing how to act in going back drawing upon the way that he was raised for guidance. In what to do. And that just happened to be a very like you know patriarchal kind of patronizing way of of thinking about selena. Even though she was very talented very powerful very opinionated woman and it's sad to know that we'll never know what might have become of her career of her life in this is we don't need to go deep into this. But i'd like to acknowledges while the bike the role that being a jehovah's witness played in it i mean it's an extremely sexist in my opinion colt in my mind. Jehovah's witness earn. What goes scientologist jehovah's witness mormon and as ex mormon. That's how i feel like from like hardcore colt and then transitioning into mainstream accepted religion. And so i think that can't be ignored either like in spite of that. There's like so much abuse women are so held back in jehovah's witness culture and community so again. We're not a podcast to go into that. But i feel like i'd be remiss if i didn't say that it had coloring into his decision in view and sort of seeing selina still in the childlike sense and always being in control of everything is also a piece of the religion. Yeah i think it was a weird intersection there and it is curious. I mean again. We'll file this under dissertations. We'll never right. But i do think that his family's experience as mexican americans in the south at that particular time influenced their conversion to jehovah's witness faith so his parents were the ones who converted when he was a teenager and then he continued with that. The kids were raised that way but selena was not so she had a high degree of faith and identified as christian And very christian. So i think that's another interesting angle is when we think about her. Is this kind of feminist icon girl power rar like she was pretty conservative but also saw herself is distinct from her family and her father so there was a lot going on there that makes it very complex but yeah i think there was definitely some of that religion component and just as an example as reading about this.

It's such a sad story and you know we talk a lot. Andrew about being mindful of the stories that we tell and definitely doing everything we can to avoid victim blaming. But when i think about this case in hindsight it's hard not to wonder if selena took the wrong lesson from her experience with her father and his really insular approach to the family affairs particularly the way that chris was treated you know did selena learn in that experience not to trust her father's instincts or his counsel and did that lead her to doubt his warnings about yolanda while they're still might have been time to sever things amicably. I mean it's all conjecture. But i can't help but think about selena's final months and the decisions that she made about her business in her career and just wonder if some of that was a response to his stifling influence which is pretty well documented again. I've worked hard not to editorialize here about their relationship. But i have to wonder. Did selena everything to yourself. you know. my father had been so wrong about chris. What else is he wrong about that. This is the type of story and this is a glimpse into me but it pisses me off for money there. There was no obviously no need for murder so stupid to say but like she got a sixty thousand dollar a year job in the nineties she was. That was yeah. That was a ton of money. Not enough oh.
