But oftentimes you hear about how
we're now living in this like post
truth world.
And I don't know how to combat that
because this is obvious.
This is not on the same level not
even close to the lies that
are told by Representative Clyde.
But I just
recently had a personal experience
that made me realize like, I mean,
what are you supposed to do?
So I know people who live in
Florida, and a few weeks ago we did
a story about how Ron DeSantis,
literally at midnight on a Friday,
passed tax increases that would
overwhelmingly affect the ordinary
people of Florida.
And the reason why he made
a decision to do that is because he
didn't want to raise taxes on
businesses to fund the unemployment
program in the state.
So I was like,
I usually don't share political
stuff with family members.
And fourth, just keeping it real.
I usually don't share political
stuff because it's doesn't go over
well, we disagree politically.
We significantly disagree
politically.
But I'm like, hey,
this is family and
they should know about it because
they're going to pay more in taxes.
In lieu of businesses paying
the taxes they should pay.
The response
I got was Ron Desantis is great and
I hope he stays in office.
Okay, whatever floats your boat,
but like the evidence
doesn't matter.
Like that's the point.
It doesn't matter.
Does it matter?
Does it matter, does not matter.
Doesn't matter that there's a split
screen, showing Clyde lies,
along with the violence that was
conducted on that day January 6,
doesn't matter.
We live in a post truth world and
it's infuriating and
I don't know what the answer is.
>> That means there are people who
see what he said and
said, yes, he's right.
Nothing that was
they were just tourists.
They were calm and orderly.
Also, they were an Tifa terrorist
tearing the building
apart simultaneously,
they were both things.
They were radical leftist
destroying property and they were
perfectly fine an orderly Taurus.
It's this amazing plasticity and
no, I don't have any solutions.
One of the reasons I'm writing
a novel like setting a world of
fantasy that just has animals in it
is that this is a place I go to for
rationality.
Things make sense.
>> Yeah.
>> The evil spellcasting Crowe
in my story tells it like it is in
comparison to the powers that be in
our world.
>> It's so funny because while
you Immerse yourself in a world of
animal fantasy.
[LAUGH] >> Which I don't like
that term.
>> I know I get it.
>> Its kind of interesting.
[LAUGH] >> It's not like
that I swear.
Almost true, telling you not like
that >> Like for
me it's at this point it's gone
from thinking about how to change
the world to wanting to protect my
immediate environment.
>> Yeah. >> Right and
it sucks because I want I do want
a better country for everyone.
What do you do when 30% of
the country doesn't just rejects
evidence and has no interest in
hearing something that challenges
their preconceived notions?
>> Yeah, I don't know,and i tried
to remember that.
Like obviously and especially for
people like us for whom the pursuit
of truth is one of our core values,
which everyone assumes is
everyone's core values, but
it's not obviously, that it would
be great to fight that battle.
We seemingly can't, we can get
through as many people as we can.
That said,
there are other things we can do.
We are like the fact that there are
people in Congress, for instance,
who are actually, like acknowledged
the Palestinians matter.
That is something and it's not just
AOC and Rasheeda Talib Ilhan Omar
like public opinion has changed
because if you put out the right
information some of
it will sink in.
It just seems like as a lot of
the country is getting better,
the part that's sort of it's not
left behind, it's willingly it's
opting out, is becoming
hardened and more corrupted.
