“Thank you, Josh Holly. Josh Holly, you manly man. One note on Josh Hawley. One note on Josh Hawley. Remember that story that he did not deny about the fact that he had a poster on his wall in his college door called Enfant, which shows a fucking A plus hot guy without a shirt holding a baby. And he said it because he was pro-life. Okay, pal.”

“Yeah, sure. Well, actually, it can be right referenda. Some states have already done this and had passed bills. You just want to leave it up to legislatures or the states to make a choice during a window. And the end result is this doesn't end up being more complicated. We just have new time zone maps.”

“And so people get less sleep, and that causes everything from heart issues to diabetes. So my view is every state should be given the option to switch to either permanent daylight saving time or permanent standard time. And then each individual state should end up having the chance to decide because states on the current eastern edges of time zones are probably best suited to stay on permanent daylight saving time, but states which naturally already have slightly later sunsets because they live on the western edges of time zones might want to think about permanent standard time. But my view is give everybody a window where they can decide and at the end of that period we'll just have new permanent time zone maps where people have chosen basically when they want them to be.”

“And one of the challenges of permanent daylight saving time. So in the summer in parts of Michigan, the sun sets so late that actually has negative health repercussions because people go to bed later and work doesn't start later.”

“I think this requires a little bit more nuance than what Mark Rubio and several others are proposing. There are a lot of states that have already passed laws that would move them to permanent daylight saving time if the federal government allowed it and we amended the uniform Time Act. However, one of the issues is in places like Michigan the sun actually sets almost an hour later than it does in places like Massachusetts. Yeah.”

“Just naturally than places on the eastern edges of time zone, like work just starts a little bit later when you're closer to the border of the time zone because the sun comes up a little bit later. But those kinds of effects would be easier to produce if people kind of lived in the reality of their time year round and didn't have the switch. So the switch should stop. Now the question is, should you have daylight saving time or permanent daylight saving time or permanent standard time?”
2021-11-09 · Pod Save America · "Josh Hawley’s Masculinity Press Tour." · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“Yes, okay. So basically there's two parts of this debate. Should we be switching? And if we stop switching, should we be on standard time versus daylight saving time? Now, the arguments against switching are pretty strong. The changing of our circadian rhythms, the shifting of traffic patterns causes premature deaths from heart attacks from people not getting enough sleep. It causes traffic accidents. Kids get hit by cars because people are driving home in the dark. There's health consequences for this time switch. Now, the argument in favor of it is that what people really say when they like daylight saving time is they like the summer and the days are longer. When the days are shorter, it actually there is an argument for why you'd want to shift back to standard time. That being said, I think the evidence for stopping the switch is pretty strong. And one problem you have when you are switching every few months is localities don't really adapt to the way the natural rhythm of the sun is in those regions.”

“Except in places that do not observe daylight saving time. Now, Patty Murray is one of the co sponsors. She's also been looking for other potential workarounds, including a waiver from the Biden administration. It is going to get dark at around 5 o'clock. If you're in Massachusetts, enjoy the sun being gone before 5 o'clock. And if Maine, it's basically Alaska from there. Tommy, how do you feel about standard time versus daylight safety? Okay.”

“Final story this morning pundit the dog woke me up an hour early because she does not observe standard time she lives on daylight saving time switching time zones twice a year is deadly standard time has been reduced to four months as it is 19 states have already voted to move to daylight saving time permanently but are blocked by the federal government now the sunshine protection action”

They take great advantage the luxury that these celebrities live under provided by the scientific method that they cast aside when they have a kind of intuition that they're not testing against facts is so frustrating. Like you live in a world. That science creates for you. And you have so little regard and respect for that creation because you don't see it with your own eyes. It's like so childish.

“Center right. Yeah, that's true. Next up, Senator Ted Cruz teased his plans to secede from the U.S. during a talk at Texan at A&M about Texit. Cruz cautioned that he's not there yet. Wow, that's nice. That's nice, Ted. Love to have you. Welcome to America. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. But if there comes a point where it's hopeless, then I think we should take NASA. We take the military. We take the oil, adding that Joe Rogan should be president of Texas. When asked by an audience member what might make him want to actually secede from the US cruise responded, look, if the Democrats end the filibuster, if they pack the Supreme Court, if they make DC a state, if they federalize elections and massively expand voter fraud, Tommy, if Joe Rogan is the president of Texas, how quickly would the US have to send in humanitarian relief?”

“That's a real academic freedom or the kind of endless campaigns, as you mentioned, that people like Barry Weiss launch against professors that they think do not hold a position on Israel that should be acceptable or the endless proposals from right-wing legislators across the country to ban certain words in schools, to ban certain books in schools. Like there is a real threat to intellectual freedom, but they don't care about those.”

“And the way in which that leads to repercussions. Okay, but who are the repercussions actually being delivered by it? They're not being delivered by Twitter users. They're being delivered by institutions, corporations, organizations that are choosing to listen for reasons that are, I think, often quite good and then sometimes not good. They're choosing to listen to the noise and making decisions based on it. Now, sometimes outcries are extremely valid. Sometimes they aren't. But the problem people like Barry Weiss have is with corporate decision making being too short-sighted, caring too much about social media. And I do wish that more people would think of some kinds of storms online as like the food in the movie hook.”

“Yeah, I have a feeling that that's right. I also, it's like. A lot of times when they decry cancel culture, I feel like there's two ways that can be broken down. One is to say, I don't like the way people are criticized by the public these days.”

“Next story A new edition of her substack, former Times columnist and current person who has a massive platform in reach where she decries being silenced, Barry Weiss announced that she is opening up a college to fix higher education. Weiss's University of Austin, Texas already has a website, but it does not have accreditation, complete with an FAQ that includes an offer for students to start next summer in the forbidden courses program.

“And I have a feeling that. Gay men do not figure into his thinking about masculinity. I don't think he's imagining, I don't think he's trying to stop gay men from masturbating and playing video games because when he's asked what a man is, it's a husband and a father. And I don't think he means.”

“I'm sorry that Josh thinks it's valuable to perform for people who find that idea threatening, but that's all it is. Yes, you're right. You're absolutely correct. There is a challenge for men because our economy has changed and left a lot of people behind. There is a challenge around masculinity because we are actually having a really big cultural shift about how we think about gender. But that's not, he's not offering any kind of answer for either of these challenges. He just wants to make both work.”

“And he says, and Holly says, a man is a father, a man is a husband, a man is somebody who takes responsibility. And it always gets back to this with these right-wing attack on masculinity, which I never can, no one can, there's no good answer for, which is, what are the good qualities that men should have that women and others shouldn't have? And what are the good qualities that women and non-binary people should have that men shouldn't have? That is the discourse about masculinity. What is it if it's something only men should have? And I'm sorry it makes people like Josh, well, he's not really uncomfortable. He doesn't care. He's just an endless hole of fucking ambition. Yeah, he's just performing.”

“Are a lot of very important news stories that deserve our time, attention, and deep focus. These are not them. It is time for a segment we call, if that wasn't bad enough, we're going to cover three stories today. First, Tommy, during a keynote speech at the National Conservatism Conference in Orlando, United States Senator lifestyle vlogger and guy who pretended to be a guy who pumps his fist in a manly way so that he could buck up some insurrectionists at the Capitol Josh Hawley, announced that he wants to save American masculinity. Can we be surprised? he asked, that after years of being told that their manhood is the problem, more and more men are withdrawing into enclaves of idleness and pornography and video games. Josh then took his masculinity press tour to Axios where this exchange took place.”

“And that technology could get cheaper, right? I mean, yes, of course, it's very expensive now, but by the same logic for clean energy generally, you could see carbon sequestration becoming a cheaper technology.”

“So, one thing you mentioned was the carbon sequestration in Build Back Better. Can you talk a little bit about that? Because I feel like right now there's sort of, I don't know, two ways that carbon sequestration is being described. One is capturing it as it's being emitted and sequestering it in some way underground or in some sort of substance. And then you see these kind of startups times just did a write up of one. I believe Coldplay is somehow involved where they really are just, aren't they always, where there's a plant and it really kind of acts like it kind of pulls carbon dioxide out of the air and it turns it into some kind of solid and deposits in away. And on the one hand, I find that really helpful. I've joked about on the podcast and they don't think I'm a serious scientist. When I say I look at the numbers and I say the only hope is we got to reach up into the air and grab it and bury it because none of this other shit is working and then at this”

“So, a lot of this, what you're describing is like kind of modeling about what the impact of some of these incentives would be, whether carrots or sticks, do you feel just based on looking at how, let's say, the Obama era investments, how they impacted the market, do you think of those models as being conservative? Do you think that there's a significant possibility that actually this kind of resonance in the direction the market is going? And actually, these kinds of investments have a bigger impact than expected. What do you think?”

“I mean, that was one of the saving graces of the past four years was that the reason we're still on target for Paris is because a lot of other municipalities and local governments and corporations did kind of continue to strive toward the aggrieving even as Trump was trying to pull us out of it, right?”

“Do you see so far based on Paris that these voluntary agreements have made a difference? I was sort of in some ways heartened and I think the only way to appreciate climate progress is to be both heartened and terrified. But the times did this great piece looking at, all right, where were we before Paris? Where are we because of Paris? Where do we need to get to not hit 1.5? And I was surprised by how many of the predictions, how does in that middle band of having actually really bent the curve in a significant way, I don't know how much the reporting about these numbers being fake and someone saying, you see that tree over there? I didn't chop it down. So that counts But how do you think of these voluntary measures have been playing out so far since Paris”

“So, what did you make of the Washington Post had a story that looked at the way countries have been reporting their climate emissions? And they basically found just huge exaggerations around the amount of carbon that they're absorbing into forests, that they're claiming that they're reducing, and so much of what we're seeing in these conferences depends upon voluntary and honest reporting of information. So what do you make of that story?”

“Yeah, I think there's a lot of things that have to happen to get out of this moment. We have to see a successful legislative agenda. We also have to see a shift in what's happening with COVID. I mean, there's just a lot that has to happen. We have to see. I think people really are worried about based on what they're seeing on the news every day. Twitter can spend a day saying actually the cost of milk isn't so high. But then in reality, what is on the news are people worried.”

“We all should be concerned about it. There's a lot of ways that this can fall apart. There's a lot of ways that now that they have this infrastructure bill that some of these moderates can get squishy, they want to negotiate it down again, that they take some objection to what comes from the congressional budget office as an excuse for lowering our sites even more. It is already a compromise. My hope is that what the squad did I think if something ultimately passes, it will say, see, you were wrong, it all worked out. But also I do think it lays down, and Marker and says, we're watching, we're paying attention, this is what we don't want to see happen. You know, there is, I think, I think that ultimately getting this infrastructure bill done is a really good thing. I also think we really need to do build back better. There are, I think, legitimate concerns about saying, okay, we have $500 billion of a policy that will help fight climate change. And then we need to get that done. Right now, what this bill does is invest in things like highways and invest in things that actually will in some ways make this.”

“We are trusting the Biden administration. We are trusting this deal. We are trusting their ability to see this to the end.

They want to get this tax cut. And on top of that, you have questions about what this promise from moderates really means. I think you see the squad saying, hold on a second, these were supposed to go together. Now we're going based on a promise and around costs. There's a lot that can go wrong if the costs come back differently, if there are changes that make it look fundamentally different than the framework we have now. I think Biden and the Congressional Black Hawk has got a deal. And I think what a lot of people went along with this deal were saying is”

“Let one through. When we were right before the vote, I think there were some people that were watching it unfold and were a little bit confused because they saw the progressives falling out of the vote and they were wondering like, well, what are we doing?

“Of it, I feel like it's a little bit less about kind of, I mean, it is Biden delivering and it is Nancy Pelosi delivering, but it's also just, I think, the kind of last gasp of normal politics.

“Yeah, sure. Absolutely. Yes. No, I don't know. I think. Was a place where I think on the house side, you saw kind of what the Republican Party has become running into what politics used to be just for 13 members, several of whom are retiring. But Axios talked to one Republican Don Bacon who said if you vote one way, you get hurt in the primary, you vote the other way, it'll hurt me in the general. And basically he said, I helped draft the bill to do a flip wouldn't have been appropriate, wouldn't have been right. And he said, if I face a primary, I can still win. What was remarkable about that is like, that was old politics. That's just the way it used to be done. And people would just vote for a bipartisan infrastructure bill because everybody recognized that we need these kinds of projects. And it is what Biden said he wanted to do from the beginning. Now at that moment, you have Kevin McCarthy basically whipping votes against this from happening, saying it's tied to the buildback better plan. And you have Marjorie Taylor Green and Matt Gates calling it a communist take over the United States. So I think.”

“To try to figure out how to unlock big, complicated projects that are sometimes between states that just get stuck pretty early. We have a huge problem, which is, yeah, we need money for infrastructure. That's on the supply side, on the demand side. Projects take forever and cost way too much. I don't know if this will help, but I think it's an interesting attempt to try to get things moving faster. And I like electric ferries.”

“And there are projects across the country that are trying to figure out ways to where we built multi lane highways and acres of parking that could be more like kind of communal spaces. So there's lots of projects like that that are interesting. Also, the bills passage means we'll hopefully finally get a new tunnel between New York and New Jersey, important for the entire Northeast. And just my usual reminder that being a Trump sycophant who shut down a bridge to punish a mayor are actually not the worst things that Chris Christie ever did. The worst thing Chris Christie ever did was killing the tunnel when he was governor. It was a despicable act. And finally, there's $16 billion for major projects that are large and complex. This is a fund that will be controlled by Secretary Pete.”

“I am I'm going to run you through a few. First, California, a state run by Democrats, has been so far unable to build high-speed rail from San Francisco to Los Angeles, a route that has roughly the same distance as Barcelona to Madrid, but would serve 10 times as many people. Instead, we've just been trying to connect Bakersfield and Merced, which is a pathetic, desperate capitulation to American decline. This pool of money has the chance to unlock this project and other projects like it in rail. The Times also did a good look at a lot of the ways it impacts California and the West funding around disasters will help California bury power lines in rural areas where sparks have been setting off wildfires. That is huge. That's good. Also, some good water conservation in there. I'm also excited about the money that expands charging stations for musk mobiles and other electric cars.”
