  Speaker 2: Let's see, here's another story. Now this is this is
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: interesting because it's all from Disney Plus. Remember a while
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: ago the guys who made and or the Star Wars show.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: At first they said, oh, you know, any resemblance to
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: what's going on politically in the world is merely coincidental.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: And then once the you know, once the heat came down,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: they said, oh no, we were reading Fascism for dummies,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: and we were, you know, well that.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Looking outside the window. Well, now, the people behind the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: new season.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Of Daredevil, which I watched the first episode yesterday and wow,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: it's gotten better.

  Speaker 1: They're saying, let me just read this.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: If you watch the mirror Daredevil Born Again season two
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: and thought, wait, I thought I put on Disney Plus,

  Speaker 2: armed super evil group called the Anti Vigilante Task Force,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: whose job is to hunt down and imprison people that
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: their boss, Mayor Fisk, the Kingpin, deems to be a problem,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: not just vigilantes, but people who he thinks are a problem.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: But they say any parallels to a real Life group.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Doing that in America purely coincidental, according to Marvel. They
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: spoke to Variety Brad Winterbaum, any kind of reflection on
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: reality is coincidental, but stan Lee said, Marvel reflects the
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: world outside our window. Sometimes things just take on a
