I suppose I should be grateful I don't regularly hang out on Thaddeus Russell or Mises Institute boards so when the host says their ancestor fought for the good guys in the Civil War I'm can be pretty positive who they mean.
2. Periel is apparently a genuine, unironic fan of Cooper as an author and birder. (???) She brought her son, also a birder, to the interview. This was obviously her idea.
3. Noam is being super amiable, but obviously only agreed to host him to ask him about Amy Cooper
Honestly I think 3 out of 4 of them think he's there to talk about birding, that's 90% of the conversation. Like I said, Periel is honestly just a fan of his birding stuff, she and her son are fangirling all over him and just talking about birds.
Noam gets to ask about the "situation" about halfway and they talk about it for 10 minutes. Noam asks the questions you'd want him to ask, and Cooper is pretty adamant that his side of the story is justified. He says he constantly gets in fights because he's sick of people breaking the rules and disrupting the birds' natural habitat.
And honestly? After listening to him for an hour?
I think he's sincere.
Maybe he should care more about what happened to Amy Cooper, maybe not, but I 100% believe him that he's just a gigantic fucking dork (a Karen himself, really) who is in the park to look at birds and fingerwag people breaking the rules.
Thanks again. Yeah I get that he is but he wouldn't have been this big with his birding had he not amplified the "racism" part of what happened and not the "breaking the rules" part. Harassing and threatening people doesn't make him the superior person. I guess his melanin forcefield made it ok for him to be a Karen.
Is that what happened ? I started to listen to it & then midstream it just went poof ! I went and searched for it bc I was curious abt how it would go, if Loury would make any - even a token of any movement towards openness. Curious if others heard it all the way through & what their takeaway was
I only have verbal darts to throw at the Commies, but my wife sent me a good one today from a book on Bertolt Brecht: “settling in East Germany, Brecht never stopped stealing, never stopped screaming, and never stopped stooging for the totalitarian crushing of the human spirit, as long as the crushing was performed by communists instead of Nazis”.
How about fan favorite, Gustavo Arrellano. With Trump wanting to deport 3000 "illegals" per day, the pressure is on ICE to produce. Lots of people are being sucked into the net and there is little to no due process as to whether anyone is or isn't in the U.S. legally.
Gustavo can tell us about what's happening in SoCal among the Mexican and the rest of the Latino communities.
That’s incredible. If you ever did a show or extensive writing on it I’d be interested in hearing it. It’d make for great evergreen content too during extended vacation. My family has done a terrible job of teaching the history and I’m afraid it’s largely lost. My great grandfather was awarded the Victoria Cross and it was another amateur historian who told my mom that he believed he was an orphan from England, which would have been unknown had he not been prominent enough for others to take interest in.
Personalizing your country’s history has to have a profound effect on people, or it at least it can. Even if it’s relatively young, I imagine that especially knowing your family story is tied into significant events like the “Vietnamese boat people” or the famous 20th century Italian immigration arriving in a massive steel ship to Ellis Island gives one a deep sense of identity, or even lesser where they arrived by plane in the 50’s but lived through all the documented culture changes and country wide strife. It’s not just part of the mythology of your country, but the greatest country in earth’s history that remains the “main character” in world events. I can see how that would impart a sense of confidence & pride, at least for those who don’t buy into the whole project being a uniquely evil one for which it must forever atone.

Outstanding work by Arch Stanton! His best yet, indeed.
So good!
I'm looking forward to seeing Matt's Angels lose to my Yankees in Anaheim on Monday!
Also, your great-great-grandpappy's epitaph (He was just a man ... and walked with God) is beautiful.
Who's gonna take one for the team and listen to our favorite birder on Noam Dworman? I did my duty with Glenn Loury.
Oh I will 1,000% listen to that shit
Please report back
First impressions:
1. He's a massive dork
2. Periel is apparently a genuine, unironic fan of Cooper as an author and birder. (???) She brought her son, also a birder, to the interview. This was obviously her idea.
3. Noam is being super amiable, but obviously only agreed to host him to ask him about Amy Cooper
Thanks! Awaiting further impressions. Periel is so adorable - I think she misses half the things that happen TBH. Maybe I'm wrong.
Why would Cooper agree to this interview? To further stand his ground? He doesn't need exposure.

Do you mean the Loury-Dworman struggle session that ended up getting deleted? That was painful to listen to.
What was that

Matt looks like his mom 💕. Also this Baltimorean loves that you were on C4!
which one of you hates Annie Lennox? and by that I mean which one of you is wrong about Annie Lennox?
Man I hate Annie Lennox! Every time I listen to her it feels like I'm walking on broken glass or something!
Why are we assuming that anybody here hates Annie Lennox?
Hahahaa because one of the Three of You said it once 😶🌫️
Wasn't it just Michael (rightly) slagging this limp attempt at anti-Americanism? https://youtu.be/-9nZhdEdBKw
Honestly I was a lil embarrassed to recall such a random deep cut but you’re correction has assured me there is nothing to be ashamed of 😅🥲🤣☺️
Never heard that song before. Oof that was embarrassing.

Can't wait for Jake Tapper to return the favor and cross examine Megyn after Trump 2.0
I only have verbal darts to throw at the Commies, but my wife sent me a good one today from a book on Bertolt Brecht: “settling in East Germany, Brecht never stopped stealing, never stopped screaming, and never stopped stooging for the totalitarian crushing of the human spirit, as long as the crushing was performed by communists instead of Nazis”.

It's official. Arch needs a girlfriend/boyfriend. Way too much time on his hands.
Beautiful epitaph and so cool that you have such long lineage in the USA. My family has nothing so longstanding in Canada from what I know.
Oh, that’s the most recent arrival in the family tree, and about the only Kraut! We’re all centuries in, mostly boring British isles.

No RFK in the compilation?! Blasphemy.
