00:03:13.000We have Anthony Kumiya on the show today, whom I'm happy to have back, and we have Richard Painter on the show today, and the coach of the South Korean soccer team, whose name escapes me because I can't pronounce it.
00:04:23.000Question of the day before we get to any of the topics.
00:04:25.000Listen, with the situation with the deportation of the families at the border and Trump being blamed for it, and Facebook and Twitter, the outrage of politicians, are we supposed to assume that nobody now has Google anymore to actually know from where this policy stems?
00:04:36.000We'll talk about this with Ben Shapiro.
00:04:37.000We'll give you a brief timeline after this.
00:04:41.000Tell me, I want to hear from you guys what you think.
00:04:43.000A lot of people started off the week going, I can't believe President Donald Trump did this, and then said, oh, this has effectively been in effect since 97.
00:07:08.000By the way, as bad as that ad is, apparently the taping of the ad was actually way worse.
00:07:14.000And you know we got our hands on exclusive footage.
00:07:15.000We have a lot of plants here at Lighthouse Crowder, and we actually have some reels, some B-roll, some outtakes, some exclusive footage from that ad.
00:07:24.000Some people see a dumpster fire and do nothing but watch the spectacle.
00:07:28.000Some are too scared to face record low unemployment, record high job participation, a booming stock market, energy independence.
00:07:36.000You'd think they'd never seen a dumpster fire!
00:15:04.000I will not leave my pod plants, even though literally molten lava has obliterated my entire existence, creating acid rain that singes the skin and air that burns your lung cavity.
00:16:00.000So many people in this country are certainly outraged by the cages and the thermal blankets
00:16:04.000and the facilities housing these kids.
00:16:07.000You know, they were all there in 2014 under President Obama and my question to you, Senator Baldwin, is did you speak up against them then?
00:16:17.000You know, on this issue that we I'm trying to... I was just... I'm liking that broad more and more.
00:16:53.000So, the Florida's consent policy, by the way, it was signed into law under Clinton, okay, in 1997.
00:16:57.000Direct quota prohibits the federal government from keeping children in immigration detention, even if they are with their parents, for more than 20 days.
00:17:11.000The Obama administration violated this policy.
00:17:13.000Of course, they angered immigration advocates, saying you detain mothers and refuse to release—blah, blah, blah.
00:17:19.000Okay, so this week, agencies began enforcing the immigration law with a zero-tolerance policy.
00:17:22.000There's been an increase, yes, in parents being detained, of course, and children being released into these what they call tender care facilities.
00:17:27.000I know, I'm not a big fan of the name either.
00:17:29.000It's amazing what happens with statistics when you go from 0% enforcement to 100%.
00:18:44.000Now, if you have someone who doesn't respect rule of law, it doesn't mean that the rule of law is not a thing, that it's a figment of your imagination.
00:18:49.000And it doesn't mean that it's a human right to be a citizen of the United States.
00:18:52.000That was the big thing we did that changed my mind to build the wall.
00:22:00.000If the World Cup, the stupid cow of the Swedes can't even tell South Korea's most famous successful soccer players when it comes to the Chinaman running your local bodegas, you don't got a snowball's chance in hell, Steven.
00:22:11.000I'm just very uncomfortable with all of this.
00:22:13.000I don't think that this is going very well.
00:23:52.000People are going to get mad, but here's the truth.
00:23:55.000I think we need to delineate between Racism, which is hate, which is believing that someone is inferior because of their race, and this faux colorblindness, acting as though it's somehow virtuous to not acknowledge the differences between races.
00:24:51.000But that'll be turned into hate speech tomorrow.
00:24:55.000Well, basically, no matter what race you're talking about, if you're a member of one race, you'll have an easier job deciding who looks different, right?
00:25:06.000But yeah, that's the same for Asians and Blacks and everyone, and pretty much it also said in one of the studies that it has nothing to do with racism or preconceived notions.
00:25:15.000So, by the way, in studies on the cross-race effect, some have noted that participants had the most difficulty telling surprised Asian faces apart.
00:25:21.000So the quote is, in particular, the most mistakes happen to take in the face of a male Chinese 68%, Indian 58%, female Indian, and then female Chinese.
00:26:52.000The story was so funny to me because when the rubber hit the road, the South Korean soccer coach They don't care at all about race at that point.
00:27:02.000It's like the parent trap, but with a whole race.
00:27:18.000My mother is French-Canadian, God bless her, and she didn't encounter many black people.
00:27:24.000And I remember she walked up one time to someone and said, hey you did a great job, loved you playing the piano.
00:27:32.000Well you know actually this church, you know the church was the church we both used to go to.
00:27:34.000And here's the thing, it was a different guy and it was a different black guy.
00:27:40.000My mom, that's a good example, she went up to compliment him and they were the same height, same build, same hair color, same eye color, and that day they were both wearing a maroon sweater.
00:27:51.000I know she's going to be mad at me for telling this story, but come on, I couldn't blame her!
00:28:29.000It's racist because of the South Korean soccer team.
00:28:32.000This is one thing I think people have been made so afraid of having, not even necessarily of having opinions, but also of observing statistical realities.
00:28:40.000Listen, these are the same people, by the way, who are offended if you say, On average, Asian people have higher IQs.
00:28:46.000More of them get into college in the United States.
00:29:00.000But then when a South Korean soccer coach does the old switcheroo, we say, hey, you can only do that because You know, they all have black hair, brown eyes, and oval faces.
00:29:33.000And it wasn't at all meant to be mean-spirited, and I watched it, and maybe we'll talk about this with Anthony Camille, I was thinking, my gosh, you absolute pansy.
00:29:40.000The fact that you consider that racist, you consider that off-limits for jokes, what is comedy going to be in five years from now, Mr. Colbert?
00:30:11.000Me personally, I don't even think about starting my day without their Citrus Hawaiian Ginger Face Cleanser, their Good Shake Hand Cream, or their Fluoride Toothpaste.
00:30:23.000And of course, the razors aren't half bad, but you already knew that.
00:31:37.000I mean, I have to tell you, I'm a little uncomfortable.
00:31:41.000Your prom dress is not my, my culture is not your prom dress, my friend.
00:31:46.000No, it's not your culture, it's Egypt's culture.
00:31:49.000You appropriated the Jews, the Jews were appropriated by Egypt, and now we're appropriating it from Egypt so that we give it back to you, the Jews!
00:32:19.000Alright, Ben, we were just talking about this before with a timeline, and I know I've been following you as well with this immigration fiasco this week as far as the media and its handling of it.
00:32:29.000Here's the deal, like we talked about, Donald Trump makes some mistakes, but do people think that we can't Google this and see which policy this was, when it was signed, how it's being enforced?
00:32:38.000Explain for people who don't believe me, because I don't have that much credibility today, the timeline.
00:32:44.000So the timeline is that in 1997, the Clinton administration signed an agreement called the Flores Agreement with a bunch of advocates for illegal immigrants.
00:32:51.000And the Flores Agreement, the settlement agreement, basically suggested that unaccompanied minors who come to the southern border could not be held in custody for longer than 20 days.
00:33:01.000In 2014-2015, there's this big wave of migrants that comes up To the border with kids, as parents with kids.
00:33:07.000And the Obama administration decides they want to hold the parents and the kids there together.
00:33:10.000And they actually called it a deterrence at the time.
00:33:12.000Jay Johnson, who is the head of DHS, he said at the time this is a deterrent policy designed to keep people from coming to the United States.
00:33:19.000There's a lawsuit filed against that policy of keeping the children with the parents together in detention.
00:33:24.000On the basis of the Flores settlement, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rules that if you arrest the parents, you cannot keep the kids in custody longer than 20 days.
00:33:31.000The kids have to be released out of custody.
00:34:01.000So, in 2017-2018, the Trump administration makes clear they are now going to put into place The no-tolerance policy, the zero-tolerance policy, where everybody who comes across the border illegally will now be prosecuted as an illegal immigrant.
00:34:12.000If you want to apply for asylum, you go to a point of entry, no problem.
00:34:15.000You want to try and immigrate legally, you go to a point of entry, no problem.
00:34:17.000You try to cross the border where there is no border patrol, and they will arrest you and they will charge you criminally.
00:34:23.000What that means is that thanks to that reenactment of the Flores Settlement under 2016 Ninth Circuit law, Once you arrest the parents, you cannot keep the kids in custody with the parents.
00:34:59.000If they apply for asylum, that time is a little bit longer.
00:35:02.000And if they don't apply for asylum, then the court process moves pretty quickly for deportation.
00:35:06.000The kids get deported alongside the parents.
00:35:08.000The media instead proclaim, this is Japanese internment, this is Nazi policy, it's brand new.
00:35:12.000Now, the way that you know this was absolute crap, the way that you know this was absolute crap is not only because the Obama administration did it, but also because when the Trump administration does it, Then the suggestion is if they separate the families, this is the worst thing ever, right?
00:35:26.000You got Rachel Maddow weeping openly on television.
00:35:28.000But if they bring the families back together in detention, then the suggestion is that this is inhumane.
00:36:18.000So before we get that far down the trail to try and find common ground... Not Ben, by the way.
00:36:22.000I'm talking about the people at Change My Mind.
00:36:23.000Before we try and act as though we can find common ground on what to do with children, let's figure out what we do with the bulk of illegal immigration.
00:36:41.000Now, I will say that the Trump administration did botch the rollout of this policy in magnificent fashion, as per our usual arrangement.
00:36:47.000The Trump administration has a policy, and the policy is perfectly defensible on the merits, and instead of just rolling out the policy saying, listen, we have a zero-tolerance policy, we'd prefer to change the law so kids can stay with their parents in detention facilities, Before they are removed en masse.
00:37:00.000Instead of doing that, he has a bunch of people tried out there to say that he wants to use the separation of the children as a deterrent in and of itself, which is idiotic.
00:37:07.000And then say, well, we didn't really mean that.
00:37:08.000What we really meant is we like to keep everybody together.
00:37:10.000And then say, but we can't keep everybody together because the legislature has to solve that, which is correct.
00:37:15.000But we, the executive branch, can't just sign an executive order getting rid of this.
00:37:18.000And then after about a week of blowback, say, well, you know, we'll sign an executive order and we'll
00:37:22.000sort of get rid of it and we'll sort of not get rid of it.
00:37:24.000Therefore undercutting the entire legal basis for what you've been claiming for two weeks and making you look malicious
00:38:02.000I feel like, I don't know, I don't know what's going on here.
00:38:06.000But one thing I've definitely noticed with you, you find yourself defending the policies of the Trump administration more and more, while of course, listen, the PR debacle.
00:38:13.000So here's the deal, when we talked about this, there are the polls as well, where people don't support, well, until he signed the executive order, people did not support the separation of families.
00:38:20.000But people over, well, a plurality of people, I think it was 46 to 37, you probably remember the stat from earlier this week, do support strict immigration laws and enforcement of borders.
00:38:29.000So that shows you there's a disconnect between what Americans want and what they perceive is happening according to the media.
00:38:34.000And yes, Donald Trump gives them a little bit of a gift.
00:38:36.000That being said, you can't use it, and this is what the left is doing, taking this debacle and using it to argue for the fact that, well, the laws haven't been enforced, therefore it's a human right to be in the United States of America.
00:38:47.000And again, the tell is pretty obvious here.
00:38:50.000Ted Cruz says, OK, well, here's a fix.
00:38:52.000And Chuck Schumer, who five seconds ago was saying this is Japanese interment in Nazism, is saying, well, you know, we're not going to work with you on that fix.
00:38:57.000We prefer to hold Trump's feet to the fire.
00:38:59.000I was like, well, either it's Nazism and you should try to stop it or it's not Nazism and you're just lying about it.
00:39:04.000And it turns out that it's the second.
00:39:05.000And of course, now that the Trump administration has signed this executive order, which, by the way, is legally vacuous.
00:39:11.000I mean, it really is an empty executive order.
00:39:14.000It either reinstitutes catch-and-release, or it doesn't change policy at all from what the Trump administration was already doing.
00:39:20.000It just kind of puts a nicer face on it.
00:39:22.000But like you're saying, that's kind of what's needed right now.
00:39:25.000That is what's needed, is a nicer face on it, because something needs to be done.
00:39:28.000I disagree with the executive order to the extent that I think it's foolish, because he's not going to win any points with people who hate him.
00:39:33.000They're just going to suggest that he is an inhumane monster.
00:39:35.000And I also think that it's not operative.
00:39:58.000I just don't think that the nice face is going to succeed, because you're going to have Samantha Bee out there immediately suggesting that the executive order is now about ripping children away from freedom and putting them in jail.
00:41:07.000This is why I've never been a fan of the whole idea of comprehensive immigration control and comprehensive immigration bills and all this nonsense.
00:41:13.000Because if you take each one of these policies in a vacuum, people know what the right thing to do is.
00:41:17.000If you just say, a wall alone, people are like, yeah, makes perfect sense.
00:41:20.000If you say, okay, we got to enforce the border, people are like, makes perfect sense.
00:41:22.000If you say, families should stay together, people say, makes perfect sense.
00:41:25.000And then you wrap it all up into one giant piece of crappy legislation and pass it, and then none of it makes any sense anymore.
00:41:47.000Hey, so we were talking about this not too long ago, and I know you mentioned this, Tommy Robinson, who's been on the show quite a bit.
00:41:56.000You said that you might have had a misimpression of him a little bit, and obviously it's gotten worse since you've talked about him, now that he's been moved to another jail.
00:42:02.000Yeah, I corrected it on my show as well.
00:42:04.000So my original impression of him when I first talked about him, is I use the descriptor far-right, which always seemed to be somewhere between alt-right and not quite alt-right.
00:42:12.000And I shouldn't have known better than that, obviously, because there are so many people on the left who will call anyone alt-right.
00:42:17.000I'd seen some of Zolder's quotes as well, right?
00:42:18.000There were some of Zolder's quotes after the 7-7 London subway bombings, where he sort of impugned all Muslims as being responsible for that.
00:42:25.000I looked at that and I said, well, that's pretty radical stuff, obviously.
00:42:30.000And so I did read on air a piece by, I'm trying to remember who it was, Douglas Murray.
00:42:37.000Uh, about Tommy Robinson, sort of his background, and it gave me a fuller picture of who Tommy Robinson is.
00:42:43.000A guy who certainly has his troubles, but I think in many ways is trying to do the right thing.
00:42:46.000So, I wanted to be a little more accurate than my original depiction of him, which was kind of cursory and using descriptors that are too vague.
00:43:40.000Apparently the only things that anyone knows in America is they once read part of a Harry Potter book and they heard of these bad people called the Nazis.
00:43:46.000And so everything has to fit into one of these two frameworks.
00:43:48.000Either it's a reference to Hogwarts, or if I don't like it, then it's a Nazi.
00:43:53.000These are the only, if it's great, it's Harry Potter.
00:43:56.000So it's just, I'm so glad that our political conversations have boiled down to Harry Potter, Nazis, and Kim Kardashian's ass somehow achieving pardons for drug dealers.
00:44:04.000I would love to see your Google search history.
00:45:24.000That's why I do wonder... I don't remember the Nazis being mentioned in the films, but again, I'm not one of those people with Harry Potter who says, the books were better, because...
00:46:10.000Well, I will tell you too, when we did it at SMU, it was, you know, same size and the protesters were, it was paltry and it wasn't even their signs.
00:46:17.000So they're not very invigorated in Dallas.
00:49:12.000There were a couple people who you see in HD for the first- Cameron Diaz was the first one where I saw and I said, oh, that's not the woman who had a crush on on the mask when I was young.
00:49:53.000I think, yeah, it probably worked that way, where the guy gets a little bit of that femme hormone in the womb, and the girl has to, you know, take the butch, more butch form.
00:52:13.000And it's getting very difficult for people on the left to lie to people because we have such availability to actually see and feel things.
00:52:24.000Like when they talk about the tax cuts being a terrible thing.
00:52:27.000And Pelosi will be like, oh, it's crumbs and it's a bad thing.
00:52:32.000And then somebody actually gets their paycheck and goes, wait, there's more money in here.
00:52:37.000How much does someone have to lie to you for you to go, yeah, and that's bad, more, more of my money.
00:52:44.000Like it's getting very difficult for them to lie.
00:52:46.000So when they say children in cages and you see these bunks and food and arts and crafts and things, you really start going, is that like Auschwitz?
00:52:57.000Is that really like a concentration Nazi death camp?
00:53:01.000They have a lot of empanadas at Auschwitz.
00:53:04.000That's because we totally overblown the whole Auschwitz thing.
00:53:09.000They just don't know that we can see it, we understand what's going on, and no matter what they say, and it's politically motivated, it is just to get Trump out, or in trouble, or impeached.
00:53:22.000Because what we're seeing now, there's so many tweets today that I've just been laughing at.
00:53:27.000Well, he signed some order so families could be together, but now families are incarcerated together?
00:53:44.000And that's the thing, I'm through trying to find common ground when they want open borders.
00:53:47.000It's like, well, listen, you don't even believe in deporting felons, so let's not talk about babies and dreamers, okay?
00:53:52.000They want our border to look like the red carpet at the Chinese theater.
00:53:54.000Yes, like Thomas Chinese, with just as many pedophiles.
00:53:58.000You know, one thing I will say, just right now when I just heard you say this, so you just said something, About it looking, you know, camp-like.
00:55:26.000Where is that outrage that tosses him aside, cancels the film?
00:55:30.000We've seen this happen with Roseanne, her show is cancelled, for saying something that was a lot easier to handle than, Barron Trump should be put in a cage with pedophiles, like Peter Phan said.
00:55:44.000When you say it out loud like that, it almost sounds off-putting.
00:55:58.000It's just that they, you know, this is one thing when the week before that, or this same week, people were outraged that we sent Sven Computer into an LGBTQAIP panel to crash it, and they're like, you're just as bad as the left.
00:56:45.000If you do something or say something that doesn't go along with their line and agenda, you can lose your job, your reputation, your career, everything you've worked for, and it's gone.
00:56:57.000When you do something that the right doesn't like, wow, you're open to lively debate.
00:57:19.000If you go to sponsors and threaten them, lest they pull their ads from a show, that's not a boycott.
00:57:25.000A boycott is when you stop watching something, the ratings go down, and the sponsors go, well, we're not going to pay for a low-rated show, so let's pull the sponsors.
00:58:18.000Maybe someone can tweet me at Ask Crowder and help me out, because now I can't find it.
00:58:20.000But it was the front, you know, the display image on Netflix, you know, on the app.
00:58:24.000And it was this Australian lesbian fat comedian.
00:58:27.000And it was The whole thing is she sits there and she tells one joke and then she goes, but I have to retire from comedy because my story needs to be told.
00:58:36.000And self-deprecation is not humility, it's humiliation.
00:58:40.000And then it flashes across the screen, New York Times says, a comedy special taking aim at comedy.
00:58:45.000I'm like, wait, wait, wait, why is this a good thing?
00:58:49.000The whole point to being a good comedian is dealing with pain through humor, but now there's like, it's not funny.
00:59:04.000Patton Oswalt just put a tweet out last night about, as comedian, we have a duty to talk about things that, we can't just do airplane jokes anymore.
00:59:17.000Oh, so the comedians, the ones that were supposed to be irreverent, against the system, make people uncomfortable, they're the ones now that are supposed to be the voice of reason?
01:00:57.000And it forces you to revisit their catalog, and that's not how it should be!
01:01:00.000No, I really don't like when somebody's political affiliation or philosophy gets me to the point where I don't like them as a performer anymore.
01:01:10.000I try not to do that, but when you're saying that you're gonna Like, stop doing what you do comedically to make it more relevant for politics and the time and to help the children at the border and stuff.
01:01:43.000Yeah, but Nick DiPaolo, just the other day at Levity Live in New York, got punched in the eye by a little woman, this woman in Birkenstocks and, you know, and punched him right in the face.
01:01:56.000He's got a big black eye and everything because she didn't like his brand of humor.
01:06:39.000You had a point before that we were talking about during the break.
01:06:41.000Yeah, something that's really bothering me this week is the whole Peter Fonda thing.
01:06:44.000And I'm not mad that he, you know, there is a blatant hypocrisy that he's like, his movie is alive and well, unlike Roseanne, who is, you know, removed from society for much less, in my opinion.
01:06:58.000I think saying someone looked like someone from Planet of the Apes, as far as a haircut, I think is definitively less severe than saying you hope someone's child gets raped by pedophiles.
01:07:09.000When you say it that way, I... Yeah, I don't think it's... But I guess it's opinion.
01:07:20.000What pisses me off is this idea of righteous anger and how the love gives a pass to people who they deem have righteous anger, which is fine.
01:07:30.000There are instances of righteous anger, but it has to be based on truth.
01:07:33.000And if it's not based on truth, you don't earn the righteous anger pass.
01:07:38.000It shouldn't be conceded that moral high ground just because you scream.
01:07:41.000No, there are places in life where righteous anger is well-warranted.
01:07:45.000You know, if your daughter's getting beat to hell by a trainee in the Texas State Wrestling Championship... Demonetized.
01:08:41.000I appreciate what Ben Shapiro said earlier about Tommy Robinson.
01:08:49.000Like, we do that all the time on this show, and I've seen him do it before.
01:08:52.000And I know, listen, Ben can be a little bit of a know-it-all, because usually he does know it all.
01:08:55.000But I appreciate that, like I said, we have to kind of self-regulate with that.
01:08:58.000So we do have to hold ourselves to a bit of a higher standard than, say, Samantha Bee or Peter Fonda.
01:09:02.000Speaking of foundation, you know, that's a really important thing, and I'm letting the cat out of the bag here.
01:09:06.000We pre-taped Brian Shaw this week, and again, the reason for that is because we're going to be doing some hidden camera stuff on location, and so every now and then we have to pre-tape a guest because it's just... We're doing this on a staff of very... We're doing this on a staff that's less than half of just the writers for the Dana Carvey sketch show, to give you an idea.
01:09:24.000No, their stuff was, some of it was pretty bad, but some really talented people.
01:09:30.000It's funny, actually, my dad said, do you need to watch this?
01:09:31.000I said, what are you saying, we're going to fail?
01:09:33.000He said, no, I'm just saying that comedians, look, they used to be these great people, and I was like, that's not what I see at all.
01:09:38.000He said, no, no, I'm saying that now they're cowardly, and they used to go up against the networks, and this is a great opportunity for a lot of us.
01:10:37.000And I really do have this unbelievable privilege, and it's funny that it's turned into a dirty word, but I use this term as it's meant to be used.
01:10:43.000A privilege to interview Excellent people.
01:10:47.000Often people who are the best at what they do, period, in the world.
01:10:49.000So Brian Shaw is the world's strongest man, four times, I think, four or five times Arnold Strongman Classic winner, which is another competition.
01:11:55.000And asking a lot of these people, this is one thing, and we get a lot of emails to this effect, hey, I want to go into either Comedy or I want to go into podcasting.
01:12:41.000We've got George St-Pierre on the show, where they had a moment, that flash of genius moment, Where you realize, okay, you believe in yourself.
01:13:01.000But everyone who's very successful at a high level, I've noticed on this show, the trend is there's that moment of they believe in themselves.
01:13:34.000It is the flash of genius moment, the I-believe-in-myself moment, which is earned, followed by long, unsexy, grueling work.
01:13:43.000So Brian Shaw had a moment where he said, I think I could legitimately, if I do my best here, become the world's strongest man.
01:13:51.000And then, the answer to that question is, Eating 12,000 calories a day, lifting heavy weights, monitoring my progress, resting, not once, every single day, even when I'm sick, when I travel, being disciplined, bringing the right food.
01:14:06.000Pierre, when he was on the show, same thing.
01:14:36.000And if you're lucky enough to have that moment where you actually believe in yourself, not the lie of self-esteem, but you believe in yourself, you find out what you're great at doing, and that's why I say that's the most important thing you can do to live a life of purpose, if you're fortunate enough to experience that, It could be really discouraging to think.
01:15:31.000If you haven't accepted the unsexy in-betweens, if you haven't accepted the grueling stuff that sucks between your, I can do this, and success, you're never going to achieve that success.
01:15:42.000If he's chasing the glory, if he's chasing the fame, he's going to stop it.
01:15:45.000His first number two, let alone his third, his fourth, and then rattled off some wins as the world's strongest freaking man.
01:15:53.000And I use this as an example because such a great guy, we'll probably do some work on him in the future, and it's so absolute.
01:15:58.000It's such a world's strongest man, period.
01:16:01.000Well, do you mean he's got, nope, he's the strongest man, period.
01:16:03.000Well, do you mean that this person is kind of the best power for, nope, he's the strongest man, period.
01:16:09.000With every single successful person I have noticed, and I've interviewed a lot of them, and it was dawning on me this week, it is a flash of genius moment, I believe in myself, which is earned, and then doing the, actually not just doing the in-betweens, but then there's a decision after that, the acceptance of this is going to suck.
01:16:25.000The acceptance of the in-betweens, because when those glories, when that glory fades, it's a transit gloria, right?
01:16:31.000When that glory fades, you accepting the grueling work is the most important thing, because then you're gonna do it day in and day out, it's just part of your job.
01:16:55.000And accepting that, accepting suckiness, accepting pain, I've noticed, once you've figured out what you do well, ironically, accepting crap and pain is that first step towards success.
01:17:09.000I wish you were more inspirational, but guess what?
01:17:11.000If you want to be good at anything, this is going to hurt.
