• 0:25
  Speaker 1: bur Listen, we do say on the show all the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: time it's important to be able to maintain dialogue. We've
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: talked to us with y'all before about having conversations at Thanksgiving,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: conversations at Christmas. But there are there are many people
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: on the left who refuse to talk to people on
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the right. And I think there are people on the
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: right like, don't even you're wasting your time talking to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: people on the left.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: What do you think? I think it's a mark of
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: success when you can have healthy dialogue about something that
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: may be hard to talk about, Okay, we just politics
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: or religion. I think it's a good thing, just sign
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: of maturity. I think it is a sign of maturity,
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: but there's also growth involved. If anything uncomfortable, you need
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: to accept it because it's a sign of growth.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: And I've during the holidays, my niece has a boyfriend
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: who comes from a very liberal family, and so before
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: he comes over our sister, she likes to make sure
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: everybody knows, do not talk politics, do not bring up Trump,
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: do not blah blah blah. And I said, Lindsay, we've
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: got to be able to be ourselves. We've got to
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: be if it comes up naturally, just let it come up.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Just he's okay, just well. Over the course of time
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: they've been together since May, he's so cute. I mean,
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: he's so funny about it. He wanted to give Lindsay
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: and he showed me because this is what I'm gonna
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: get you for Christmas. And it was a pair of
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: sox with donkeys all over it, okay, and of course like,
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: oh my gosh, oh my gosh, you know, and he
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: just laughs because it's so funny. And to me, I
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: told her, this is a mark of success right here,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: we're laughing about it. He's able to laugh with us,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: he's able to bring things up. Lindsay has now opened
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: herself to talking about the No King's Parade because that
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: was a big thing for him, Like why do you
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: think that they're doing that? So it was a healthy conversation.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: You know, I had a conversation with a young man
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: that I've worked with on some theater stuff, and I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: like this guy a lot. I think he's got a
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: great heart. His politics, I think are wrong, and you know,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: he's posted a lot of stuff on Facebook, and I
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, boy, so I would really posted it
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: on Facebook much. But I just say, hey, if you'd
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: never really like an answer to your question of why
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: conservatives think that way, I'd be happy to sit down
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and talk with you.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: And we have.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've changed his mind on anything, but
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: we've had a conversation.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's good. I think the left is
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: in a curated bubble of their own safe place platforms,
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: and if you don't get in that bubble with them,
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: they asked you, we're dead to them. And that's where
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: I think they're gonna They're hurting already, and I think
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: that's why.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't. I don't know if I can do this,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: but there is It's like a twenty five second thing
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I just sent to It's not really hi is Ai,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: but it's like twenty five seconds and it really says
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: like I want you to listen to this, all right.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: We're using your phone to do this.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, when.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: Your identity is your ideology, congratulations.
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: You've officially screwed yourself.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: Because now it's not just an idea, now it's you.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: And when the idea gets challenged, you don't hear disagreement,
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: you hear an attack.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: So what do you do? You build a bubble, a nice, soft,
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: padded little bubble where everyone agrees with you, uses the
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: same words, hates the same people, and collapse at the
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: exact right moments. And you will defend that bubble at
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: all costs, even if it makes you sound incredibly stupid.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Facts don't matter anymore. Logic's gone humor dead because admitting
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: you're wrong would mean admitting you are wrong, and that's unacceptable.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: So you double down louder, angrier, dumber. And that's how
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: you end up defending nonsense like it's sacred scripture.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: Not because it's true, but because without it you'd have
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: to actually develop a personality.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: So I do think that is ai of George Carlin,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: but it's not that different from I think the beliefs
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that George Carlin would have had.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: And and look, George Carlin is not a conservative by
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: any stretch of the imagination.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: But he I don't think.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: You can say that he was necessarily one hundred percent
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: in on the Democrats side either, because there's you know,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: stuff that they thought that that and that they do
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: that he thought was crazy.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: When I you know, when I sent this out and
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: somebody said, well, that's ah, I didn't even care. That
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: wasn't really him. It's like, how, you're right, the message
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: it remains the same no matter who says it. If
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: we if our identity becomes our ideology, and that's what
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: we're known for, right, we lose ourselves, right, and we
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: lose the ability to really talk to somebody.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: If our ideology becomes yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: And so I think that's been lost for while. Hopefully,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: hopefully there will come a time when we can go
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: back to like it was in the eighties, when it
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: didn't matter who you voted for. You're such a good person.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: And we may disagree on this, and we may not
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: like that each other likes this candidate, but we love
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: each other. We can still work together. I can still
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: hire you to do the job. I can still put
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: you in this part of the movie. Right, you know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: we've lost something in the last ten years that was
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: so valuable.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: And what's scary is this is the group that wanted
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: to police our conversations. Police are right, well, I mean
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: we dodged a bullet, Yes we did.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because if Kamala had been elected, there would
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: have been a lot.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Look what's happening in London. Yeah, And they're locking people
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: up for their thoughts.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: They're locking people up for tweets they made outside of England. Yes,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and not even English citizens people who stepped.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: In and they have no recourse to come out. They don't.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: It's crazy.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: It's crazy, and that's where we were heading. If you
