Hey, this is John from Indiana. John from Indiana. What's on your mind? all right sorry about that I had a business call coming in so I apologize. I also had a business call. It was with you. you just didn't answer. Yeah. Well fair enough. Yeah, Sam. Thanks for taking my call. I really I I've I've had a lot of thoughts over the last few weeks and I've been trying to call in to oops to kind of get them across. and I don't know. I guess what I would really like to talk about ultimately is that because I've spent a few weeks thinking about this. I think your show has a bit of a blind spot. think just one? Well I mean I think you guys do really good coverage on trans issues for the most part. I think you guys need to have more trans people on your show though. and more callers or I mean I don't know. I called you out on Twitter. I imagine you saw that I was being inflammatory to catch your attention. so you know I'm sorry for doing that. But I don't know. I did not but go ahead. all right so say you're saying what your point is. so my biggest point is that this whole Ana Kasparian thing came up. And I feel like a lot of people have sort of gotten some Whiplash from this. And I've not really wanted to call it what it is. And I think only really one person in that leftist media sphere which is Olay or early on me I can't say her name right just called it out as being a gift which is immediately what I thought it was. and I don't know, I just feel like you guys kind of dropped the ball on that. Because you never put the tweets up. You never showed the context. And you've got a lot you didn't I address this before? I mean I wasn't here. My understanding is that things progressed somewhat last week when I was out. But two or three weeks ago I thought I addressed it. Didn't I? You did and that was that it was me that I called in. You spoke to me. Oh okay and so like I was trying to call in about it because people kept talking about the Tweet as if it were a tweet and it was actually a lot of tweets. I mean I'll be honest with you. I saw that one tweet from Ana and that's what I was responding to. I yeah don't like I'm not on Twitter as much maybe as people want me to be. I don't know if you know there's this sense that like you know I won't talk about tyt because I'm friends with them. or because I do business with them. I've known Cenk for a long time but he lives in L.A. I mean I've probably spoken to him in person I don't know maybe 10 times over the past almost 18 years. I've been on that show. At one point we were you know part of the KZfaq Network which and just to make this clear to people the relationship that we had in business was I was their client. In other words, I paid them money to optimize our KZfaq channel. because we did that for Mar far longer than I think a business person who had a business sense would have done it. Because I didn't want to have to manage somebody doing that for us. I didn't know how to do it. I didn't care and this and that. so I was never getting money from them. I don't have for some reason some you know nefarious reason not to criticize them. But I also don't feel a huge compulsion to observe every tweet that they do. or what's on their show. I cannot express to people how misguided they are in terms of what they assume I watch daily. I don't have enough hours in the day for me to monitor what TYT is doing. And I think like on balance my sense is then you know I've always you know considered myself to the left of like you know of Cenk. I had arguments with him 18 years ago or 15 years ago about the Bill Clinton administration. And you know but I don't but that was just like I was invited onto the show. Or I was on the show or whatever I was. And that came up.
