These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:18,640 Welcome to the Beaverton's Year in Review 2017, the year that sadly was. 2 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,120 your host, Miguel Rivas. And I'm 2018's spoiler, Emma Hunter. 3 00:00:22,940 --> 00:00:27,400 Tonight, we're counting down the top 17 stories of 2017, from the opioid 4 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,560 -induced highs to the apocalypse -adjacent lows, and all the news the 5 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,960 deemed too hot for TV. 6 00:00:33,620 --> 00:00:37,580 We're so happy you could join us for the funeral of the year gone by, though 7 00:00:37,580 --> 00:00:40,080 considering how wasted I am, it's more of a wake. 8 00:00:40,940 --> 00:00:43,320 I prefer to mourn in sobriety. Okay, narc. 9 00:00:44,420 --> 00:00:49,720 In the first year of the Trump era, 2017 truly proved to be the 2016 of years, 10 00:00:49,860 --> 00:00:52,700 which brings us to our first story in the countdown. 11 00:00:53,020 --> 00:00:57,740 On January 21st, the day after Donald Trump's inauguration, millions of women 12 00:00:57,740 --> 00:01:01,800 across the globe took to the streets demanding the president recognize 13 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,459 rights as human rights and to please not ask us to pee on him. 14 00:01:06,750 --> 00:01:11,490 Women everywhere were hopeful this, we lost count, maybe tenth wave of feminism 15 00:01:11,490 --> 00:01:16,010 would now finally, for the love of God, be the one to drown the patriarchy. 16 00:01:16,750 --> 00:01:20,870 Many women marched alongside their daughters in this valiant protest, 17 00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:24,030 will seem all the more meaningful when they have to march again with their 18 00:01:24,030 --> 00:01:28,860 granddaughters. Coming in at number 16, Donald Trump's controversial travel ban. 19 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,620 Trump defended the ban against eight Muslim -majority countries as a crucial 20 00:01:32,620 --> 00:01:36,560 measure to keep citizens safe from the dangers of visiting the United States. 21 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,700 Thanks to the order, those prevented from entering the U .S. won't have to 22 00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:44,400 in fear of a hostile enemy who hates their way of life and indoctrinates 23 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,820 children with the false belief that Blake Shelton is attractive. 24 00:01:48,580 --> 00:01:52,140 Citizens from the blacklisted nations are now protected from the barbaric 25 00:01:52,140 --> 00:01:56,640 misogyny... state -sponsored terrorism, and ugly tribalism they would no doubt 26 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:57,880 face every day in America. 27 00:01:58,420 --> 00:02:01,920 For now, the number of banned countries sits at eight, though with a little 28 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,340 luck, Canada could make the list as early as next year. 29 00:02:05,220 --> 00:02:09,400 This year, Prime Minister Trudeau legalized marijuana, finally making it 30 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,220 accessible to the dozens of Canadians who love smoking pot but hate breaking 31 00:02:13,220 --> 00:02:14,220 rules. 32 00:02:15,470 --> 00:02:18,890 Some Canadian pot smokers were worried the law would act as a gateway 33 00:02:18,890 --> 00:02:22,750 legislation, leading the government to regulate other fun things like jazz 34 00:02:22,750 --> 00:02:26,170 music, devil worship, and indiscriminate premarital sex. 35 00:02:26,550 --> 00:02:30,390 But most are concerned about where they can purchase the product. Thankfully, 36 00:02:30,530 --> 00:02:34,750 Ontario and Quebec are allowing consumers to buy weed inside of liquor 37 00:02:34,750 --> 00:02:36,310 instead of just behind them. 38 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,440 Canada was one of several countries vying to become the leader of the free 39 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,880 in 2017 after America abandoned the role to go live in the rich Biff timeline 40 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,100 from Back to the Future 2. 41 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,580 The bids saw Justin Trudeau take a more American approach to defending Western 42 00:02:53,580 --> 00:02:57,680 freedoms by selling arms to countries who actively suppress Western freedoms. 43 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:03,200 Joining us via satellite to discuss our number 14 top story, here's Marilla Wex. 44 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,660 Thanks, Emma. Justin Trudeau has been very clear that Canada's greatest 45 00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:13,260 is its diversity, which is why Ottawa made a point in 2017 of selling arms to 46 00:03:13,260 --> 00:03:15,160 diverse group of oppressive regimes. 47 00:03:15,860 --> 00:03:20,040 Saudi Arabia, China, Algeria, and of course Saudi Arabia. 48 00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:24,400 You said Saudi Arabia twice. That's how many arms we sell them. 49 00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:29,160 How does Canada reconcile arming countries that persecute women, gays and 50 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,540 religious minorities with the Prime Minister's stated commitment to 51 00:03:32,540 --> 00:03:36,260 human rights? Canada takes its role of global peacekeeper very seriously. 52 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,280 But instead of walking softly and carrying a big stick, Ottawa is taking 53 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,380 more realistic mantra of walk softly and sell a lot of big sticks. 54 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,420 Is Ottawa concerned they'd be exacerbating political turmoil and 55 00:03:50,420 --> 00:03:53,480 conditions that lead to violent insurgent groups? Not if they start 56 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,530 violent insurgents as candidates. Canada's largest untapped demographic, 57 00:03:57,530 --> 00:04:00,570 they're lucky, that could soon change to valued customers. 58 00:04:01,010 --> 00:04:03,650 Just a quick follow -up. Are we still the good guys? 59 00:04:03,950 --> 00:04:06,430 At this point, it depends on our geopolitical opponent. 60 00:04:06,890 --> 00:04:09,950 Against a tyrannical regime like Russia, maybe. 61 00:04:10,790 --> 00:04:14,990 But it's more than just a moral question. When the United States sold 62 00:04:14,990 --> 00:04:18,329 the Taliban, they ended up being used against them years later in Afghanistan. 63 00:04:19,070 --> 00:04:23,530 Is there concern this could one day come back to haunt us? Yes, but my source 64 00:04:23,530 --> 00:04:26,210 assured me that that's a problem for future Canada. 65 00:04:27,870 --> 00:04:29,090 Marilla Wex, everyone. 66 00:04:31,350 --> 00:04:36,350 At number 13, this May, Andrew Scheer shocked the nation when the previously 67 00:04:36,350 --> 00:04:39,850 currently unknown candidate won the Conservative leadership race. 68 00:04:40,190 --> 00:04:41,190 His secret? 69 00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:44,970 Riding the youth quake of Conservative voters aged 55 to 65. 70 00:04:46,430 --> 00:04:50,830 Scheer swept everyone from retirees to near -retirees with his compelling three 71 00:04:50,830 --> 00:04:55,790 -policy platform, banning teens from the mall, bringing Johnny Carson back, and 72 00:04:55,790 --> 00:04:58,210 his promise to always look like a well -fed grandson. 73 00:04:59,490 --> 00:05:04,330 It was a tight race. While rival candidate Maxime Bernier did manage to 74 00:05:04,330 --> 00:05:09,110 octogenarians and Boer War veterans, he just couldn't compete with Scheer's 75 00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:12,530 charisma and his trendy slogan, never trust anyone over 130. 76 00:05:14,570 --> 00:05:18,630 Meanwhile, during the New Democrats' October leadership vote, Jagmeet Singh 77 00:05:18,630 --> 00:05:23,150 upended his party's establishment by galvanizing a new community that 78 00:05:23,150 --> 00:05:24,650 doesn't vote for the NDP. 79 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,320 Canadians. 80 00:05:26,660 --> 00:05:30,960 With the support of the previously untapped demographic of voting -eligible 81 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,420 citizens, Singh's ascent was as inevitable as Nikki Ashton returning to 82 00:05:35,420 --> 00:05:38,560 previous role as the star of MTV's Daria. 83 00:05:39,220 --> 00:05:43,200 Singh's victory marks the first time a major political party has elected a 84 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,780 diverse leader since Brian Mulroney bravely came out as Irish. 85 00:05:48,060 --> 00:05:52,200 When we return, we look at my New Year's resolution to really take a step back 86 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,280 and listen to the voices of the women around me. 87 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,720 And my resolution to talk more about whatever I want. That's not really okay. 88 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,200 I'm hearing you. 89 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:01,920 I've got a lot of ideas. 90 00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:03,380 Welcome 91 00:06:03,380 --> 00:06:18,400 back. 92 00:06:18,540 --> 00:06:22,300 Before we continue with our top stories of 2017, here are some honorable 93 00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:23,300 mentions. 94 00:06:23,830 --> 00:06:28,110 2017 was the second hottest year on record, but not in that good, bangable 95 00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:33,770 After exaggerating his role in Afghanistan, Harjeet Sajjan admitted he 96 00:06:33,770 --> 00:06:35,070 not fight at Vimy Ridge. 97 00:06:35,890 --> 00:06:39,850 And Quebec was confident their ban on religious garments will be upheld by 98 00:06:39,850 --> 00:06:41,030 people in medieval roads. 99 00:06:42,350 --> 00:06:46,970 In a year that has ended with a renewed need for backyard fallout shelters, 100 00:06:47,230 --> 00:06:51,710 mindless entertainment has become the only way to enjoy what's left of life's 101 00:06:51,710 --> 00:06:52,710 lighter side. 102 00:06:52,970 --> 00:06:56,690 So let's round up the top entertainment stories of 2017 that have been on the 103 00:06:56,690 --> 00:06:57,750 tip of everyone's tongue. 104 00:06:57,990 --> 00:07:00,510 Harvey Weinstein. Not the tongue I meant. 105 00:07:01,830 --> 00:07:05,930 But it was the tongue that shoved itself down numerous women's throats and then 106 00:07:05,930 --> 00:07:08,830 licked all our favorite movies so we'd never consume them again. 107 00:07:09,910 --> 00:07:12,110 I thought you said you wanted to keep this segment light. 108 00:07:12,410 --> 00:07:15,610 Seriously, that was the lightest coverage on Weinstein since he wore a 109 00:07:15,610 --> 00:07:16,610 to a business meeting. 110 00:07:17,420 --> 00:07:20,800 But there were bright spots in the entertainment industry that helped take 111 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,300 minds off the horrifying scale of the sexual assault reckoning in Hollywood. 112 00:07:24,620 --> 00:07:30,740 Exactly. Which brings us to 2017's top TV show, The Handmaid's Tale. Oh, God. 113 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,740 Based on Margaret Atwood's futuristic dystopian novel where women have no 114 00:07:35,740 --> 00:07:39,040 rights, the environment is dead, and religious zealots have taken over the 115 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,020 government, this bingeable romp also inspired a new GOP bucket list. 116 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:46,600 Okay. 117 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:47,960 Here's a nice story. 118 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,620 Disney had the top -grossing domestic box office hit with the heartwarming 119 00:07:51,620 --> 00:07:53,540 family musical Beauty and the Beast. 120 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,220 Starring Emma Watson in a live -action retelling of the classic Girl Meets 121 00:07:58,220 --> 00:08:02,820 Beast, Girl Gets Imprisoned by Beast, Girl Succumbs to Stockholm Syndrome, 122 00:08:02,820 --> 00:08:03,820 we grew up with. 123 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,160 Classic.

Open wearing her baby. 524 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,580 Her success, however, has not been without controversy, as players have 525 00:31:41,580 --> 00:31:44,320 she should be stripped of her singles title and awarded doubles instead. 526 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,720 The WCA has also moved to add folic acid to its list of banned performance 527 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:49,720 -enhancing substances. 528 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,840 And on the men's side, Roger Federer faced similar scrutiny after his 529 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,760 win when the World Anti -Doping Agency raided his home and found the real 530 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,420 to the Swiss star's success, a portrait of him painted 20 years ago that ages 531 00:32:01,420 --> 00:32:02,420 for him. 532 00:32:03,980 --> 00:32:07,380 Floyd Mayweather's August victory over Conor McGregor has been hailed as our 533 00:32:07,380 --> 00:32:11,200 generation's Jesse Owens moment, if Jesse Owens had also been a nightmarish 534 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,200 domestic abuser. 535 00:32:12,540 --> 00:32:15,820 When McGregor, a darling of the alt -right, went down in the 10th round, the 536 00:32:15,820 --> 00:32:19,300 world rejoiced before immediately cringing when they remembered every 537 00:32:19,300 --> 00:32:20,480 thing about Floyd Mayweather. 538 00:32:20,940 --> 00:32:24,460 Meanwhile, Tim Tebow's stint with the Mets was hailed as the next generation's 539 00:32:24,460 --> 00:32:27,740 Michael Jordan, if Michael Jordan was also terrible at every other sport. 540 00:32:30,220 --> 00:32:33,520 In a year that saw the Jays hobbled by injuries and the worst start in 541 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,200 history, GM Ross Atkins said the hardest part of this season was having to take 542 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,580 Jose Bautista behind the stadium and put him down. 543 00:32:40,250 --> 00:32:43,890 The star outfielder was diagnosed with hip dysplasia and an acute case of suck 544 00:32:43,890 --> 00:32:45,930 that trainers warned would only worsen with time. 545 00:32:46,150 --> 00:32:49,870 In response, the tearful Atkins noted the only humane thing to do was to end 546 00:32:49,870 --> 00:32:52,470 suffering, adding, he's my slugger, I'll do it. 547 00:32:54,570 --> 00:32:57,490 But without a doubt, the number one sports story of the year was Colin 548 00:32:57,490 --> 00:33:01,210 Kaepernick. With a lawsuit alleging the NFL blackballed him, many in the league 549 00:33:01,210 --> 00:33:04,790 are wondering why they didn't just let him play, since he was only five starts 550 00:33:04,790 --> 00:33:07,530 away from the kind of brain injury that would have kept him quiet forever. 551 00:33:08,220 --> 00:33:10,960 Three starts if Kaepernick had taken snaps behind the Giants' O -line. 552 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,020 But however Kaepernick leaves, fans are excited that football can finally go 553 00:33:15,020 --> 00:33:19,760 back to being apolitical, giving us all a chance to kick back, relax, and watch 554 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,880 soldiers parade the American flag onto the field while the National Anthem 555 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,660 and fighter jets fly over the stadium. 556 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:31,620 Quick, guys, am I right? 557 00:33:31,900 --> 00:33:33,120 You'll never be one of them, Miguel. 558 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:34,320 That's their choice. 559 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,260 Disaster. Destruction. 560 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,320 Chaos. No, I'm not talking about what happens if I miss an episode of Young 561 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:45,800 Sheldon. I'm talking about the way climate change devastated the planet in 562 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:51,400 Take Canada. In 2017, climate change -related forest fires ravaged B .C. 563 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:56,020 While Montreal suffered extensive flooding. But saddest of all, this was 564 00:33:56,020 --> 00:34:00,800 year we lost P .E .I., which sank without a trace into the Atlantic after 565 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,000 getting struck by lightning. 566 00:34:02,460 --> 00:34:04,800 I... Where did you hear that? 567 00:34:05,020 --> 00:34:06,019 The Toronto Storm. 568 00:34:06,020 --> 00:34:07,020 Star? 569 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,639 Beyond our borders, hurricanes, earthquakes, and monsoons wreaked havoc 570 00:34:13,639 --> 00:34:16,480 sea levels rose at their fastest rate in 2 ,000 years. 571 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:23,080 Leading to the horrible loss of PEI, my favorite all -time province. Pretty sure 572 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:27,100 PEI is still there. All of this environmental chaos means we need to 573 00:34:27,100 --> 00:34:31,610 now. Agreed. We owe it to the memory of the brave people of PEI. 574 00:34:31,830 --> 00:34:36,010 May they rest in peace. If you are in PEI, please tweet us at the Beaverton 575 00:34:36,010 --> 00:34:40,770 using hashtag PEIMallright to let Emma know that you are still alive. 576 00:34:41,909 --> 00:34:47,030 And if you're a PEI truther like me, use the hashtag RIPEI. 577 00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:54,460 Hopping back into our countdown, our number four story. After an unusually 578 00:34:54,460 --> 00:34:57,900 destructive hurricane season, thousands of wealthy Canadians stepped up and 579 00:34:57,900 --> 00:35:01,640 donated most of their salaries to affected nations like Panama, the Cayman 580 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,160 Islands, and offshore shell corporation 1124. 581 00:35:05,260 --> 00:35:09,920 According to a leaked charity report called the Paradise Papers, Canada's 0 582 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,420 were some of the world's top contributors to not -not -for -profit 583 00:35:13,420 --> 00:35:14,420 charities. 584 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,160 These generous men, women, and corporations didn't even want to be 585 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,340 for their donations, using unnamed accounts to remain anonymous. 586 00:35:21,820 --> 00:35:26,460 Money. It's produced by a genie chained in the basement of Goldman Sachs. But 587 00:35:26,460 --> 00:35:27,760 what did it do in 2017? 588 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,100 Here to talk about the year in finance is our expert, Laura Sillivant. 589 00:35:32,860 --> 00:35:33,860 Wow. 590 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:36,900 Crazy year, Laura, huh? 591 00:35:37,300 --> 00:35:38,300 Crazy good. 592 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,700 How can you say that? Everything that happened in 2017 was disastrous. 593 00:35:42,460 --> 00:35:47,080 Yes, but if disaster capitalism teaches us anything, it's that the rising tide 594 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,120 of a tsunami lifts all ships. 595 00:35:49,380 --> 00:35:51,160 That seems ghoulish. 596 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:53,740 Ghoulish like a fox. 597 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,620 I made 10 grand off of BC wildfires alone. 598 00:35:58,260 --> 00:36:03,040 Hurricane Maria paid off my Lexus. What if, I don't know, you aren't cheering 599 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,040 for more disasters? 600 00:36:04,540 --> 00:36:07,940 Then you're missing out on an enormous opportunity for success. 601 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:12,220 Assuming your only metric for success is the Dow Jones, then really, why 602 00:36:12,220 --> 00:36:13,038 wouldn't it be? 603 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,700 First of all, oh my God. 604 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:15,959 Thank you. 605 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,580 And secondly, this really only helps the investor class. 606 00:36:18,780 --> 00:36:20,820 Everyone else has had an awful, awful year. 607 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,800 Miguel, take a look at this handy financial chart. 608 00:36:24,570 --> 00:36:25,930 Looks pretty good to me, Laura. 609 00:36:26,190 --> 00:36:27,450 That line's going up. 610 00:36:27,850 --> 00:36:31,870 Exactly. And up equals good. That's the second thing they taught us in business 611 00:36:31,870 --> 00:36:32,990 school. Huh. 612 00:36:33,250 --> 00:36:37,090 So you're saying global chaos is good for the economy. 613 00:36:37,390 --> 00:36:41,550 She gets it. But don't regular people thrive off of peace and stability? 614 00:36:42,490 --> 00:36:48,350 Miguel, think of peace and stability as a whale swimming around in the ocean. No 615 00:36:48,350 --> 00:36:49,350 good for anybody. 616 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,340 Well, it's good for the whale. 617 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:57,800 But if you can drag that same whale onto the beach, suddenly it becomes a 618 00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,560 profitable heap of whale scrap. 619 00:37:00,380 --> 00:37:02,420 That's the first thing they teach you in business school. 620 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:07,240 But isn't profiting off of disasters short -sighted? Not if you're shorting 621 00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:08,238 civilization. 622 00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:13,240 Let's just say that when we're all using human teeth as currency, someone's 623 00:37:13,240 --> 00:37:14,940 going to have the most human teeth. 624 00:37:16,380 --> 00:37:17,940 Laura Silovitz, everybody. 625 00:37:23,540 --> 00:37:27,960 When we return, Emma's doctor joins us to explain how her annual New Year's 626 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,040 concussion is nothing but a severe hangover. 627 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:46,700 Oh, thank God you're back. 628 00:37:48,010 --> 00:37:51,770 The Trump campaign's collusion with Russia was our number three story of the 629 00:37:51,770 --> 00:37:56,430 year. But one man's tireless efforts helped blow the scandal wide open. Our 630 00:37:56,430 --> 00:37:59,530 investigative journalist of the year, Donald Trump Jr. 631 00:38:00,290 --> 00:38:04,410 From sharing his email chain with Russian agents on Twitter to implicating 632 00:38:04,410 --> 00:38:07,350 father's top advisors in criminal conspiracy, Don Jr. 633 00:38:07,590 --> 00:38:10,530 spent the year engaged in citizen journalism of the highest order. 634 00:38:10,870 --> 00:38:15,050 This modern -day Woodward and Bernstein single -handedly exposed the shady 635 00:38:15,050 --> 00:38:16,770 actions of Trump's firstborn son. 636 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,600 all while sporting the keen look of a man who just took a sip of something hot 637 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,840 and is now trying to cool it in his open mouth. 638 00:38:24,900 --> 00:38:28,460 If there's any justice, his Pulitzer will sit on a shelf in his prison cell 639 00:38:28,460 --> 00:38:32,220 where he can proudly gaze at it over a cup of Turlet wine while contemplating 640 00:38:32,220 --> 00:38:33,560 his next lunch line shivving. 641 00:38:34,700 --> 00:38:38,740 This year, tensions ran high between North Korea and the U .S. as the two 642 00:38:38,740 --> 00:38:40,520 leaders brought us closer to doomsday. 643 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,900 With the tyrants having so much in common, this brings us to our number two 644 00:38:44,900 --> 00:38:49,520 story of the year. And tonight's point counterpoint are Trump and Kim, best 645 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,620 who just don't know it. Miguel, what do you think? Best buds? They're polar 646 00:38:52,620 --> 00:38:54,380 opposites who loathe each other. 647 00:38:54,660 --> 00:38:58,540 Opposites attract, Miguel. Think of all those buddy cop movies. A young loose 648 00:38:58,540 --> 00:39:03,120 cannon with a tendency to fly off the handle teams up with an old dotard who's 649 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,860 only two days away from retirement, or in this case, impeachment. 650 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,040 Yeah, but in this case, they're both loose cannons. And that's exactly what 651 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,070 world needs. A fresh take on a tired genre. 652 00:39:13,390 --> 00:39:17,690 Nuclear standoff isn't a genre. Millions of lives are at stake. And the real 653 00:39:17,690 --> 00:39:19,390 world needs these unconventional heroes. 654 00:39:19,790 --> 00:39:23,910 One's a streetwise loudmouth from Queens. The other, a quiet intellectual 655 00:39:23,910 --> 00:39:25,790 the wrong side of the demilitarized zone. 656 00:39:26,130 --> 00:39:28,730 Okay, granted, they are both power -hungry monsters. 657 00:39:29,050 --> 00:39:30,830 Who like to hang out with Dennis Rodman. 658 00:39:31,030 --> 00:39:32,810 Plus, neither of them speak English very well. 659 00:39:33,110 --> 00:39:35,790 And have both spent a lifetime pining for their father's approval. 660 00:39:36,190 --> 00:39:37,470 See? Oh, my God. 661 00:39:37,830 --> 00:39:39,210 Right? They're the same person. 662 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:44,100 We can somehow convince them that they're in a buddy cop movie. We can 663 00:39:44,100 --> 00:39:48,760 cash our way out of a nuclear holocaust. I get it now. You're right. Imagine how 664 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,900 different history would be if JFK and Castro bonded over their sex addiction. 665 00:39:53,180 --> 00:39:56,680 Or Kanye and Taylor over their love of beefing with each other. 666 00:39:57,180 --> 00:40:00,100 Kind of like how when we first started working together, we didn't really see 667 00:40:00,100 --> 00:40:02,760 eye to eye. But now, we're an unstoppable team. 668 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:04,640 Yep. 669 00:40:06,260 --> 00:40:11,750 Sometimes, the words that inspire come from the most unexpected places, like a 670 00:40:11,750 --> 00:40:13,730 book or a stupid kid's mouth. 671 00:40:14,750 --> 00:40:18,930 The only thing more inspiring than a good quote is guessing which inspiring 672 00:40:18,930 --> 00:40:23,710 speaker it came from. Which brings us to a segment I call, Who Said It? Noam 673 00:40:23,710 --> 00:40:25,110 Chomsky or Donald Trump? 674 00:40:26,090 --> 00:40:29,650 So you'll read a quote and I have to determine whether it was said by 675 00:40:29,650 --> 00:40:34,610 philosopher, and cognitive scientist Noam Chomsky or the crassest president 676 00:40:34,610 --> 00:40:35,348 .S. history? 677 00:40:35,350 --> 00:40:36,730 It's not as easy as you think. 678 00:40:37,250 --> 00:40:38,730 First, insightful quote. 679 00:40:39,260 --> 00:40:43,420 You know what uranium is, right? A thing called nuclear weapons and other 680 00:40:43,420 --> 00:40:47,020 things, like lots of things that are done with uranium, including some bad 681 00:40:47,020 --> 00:40:49,780 things. Nobody talks about that. 682 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,380 Was that Donald Trump or Noam Chomsky? 683 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,700 I mean, obviously Trump. 684 00:40:56,020 --> 00:40:57,020 Hey, good guess. 685 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:58,700 Next insightful quote. 686 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:04,860 We have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago. They 687 00:41:04,860 --> 00:41:06,240 call her Pocahontas. 688 00:41:07,420 --> 00:41:11,620 That's Trump calling Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas during a ceremony honoring 689 00:41:11,620 --> 00:41:13,580 Navajo codebreakers from World War II. 690 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,760 Or is it Noam Chomsky in an article about consumerism for the Atlantic? 691 00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:19,620 Emma, it's Trump. 692 00:41:19,900 --> 00:41:20,900 Here's one. 693 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,280 Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects 694 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,420 flag, to say, get that son of a bitch off the field right now. 695 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,320 He's fired. He's fired. 696 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:35,520 Trump, Emma, these are all obviously Trump. His bullying, sexist, exaggerated 697 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,480 bragging is unmistakable. And that's the problem, Miguel. We have been exposed 698 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,420 to this toxic discourse for so long, we're numb to its effects. We need more 699 00:41:43,420 --> 00:41:47,720 thoughtful discussion in public and on social media. Because Noam Chomsky once 700 00:41:47,720 --> 00:41:51,560 said, if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her. 701 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,180 That was Trump. 702 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:54,600 Agree to disagree. 703 00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,540 Only Twitter is a toxic thumb treadmill where trolls, Nazis, and presidents 704 00:42:00,540 --> 00:42:03,600 harass and threaten women while exchanging killery memes. 705 00:42:05,450 --> 00:42:10,530 But in our top story of 2017, women used this testosterone -soaked hate scape to 706 00:42:10,530 --> 00:42:14,170 kick creeps right in the dick pic with a hashtag MeToo movement. 707 00:42:14,530 --> 00:42:18,670 Social media was inundated with a tweet avalanche of women standing in 708 00:42:18,670 --> 00:42:20,850 solidarity, saying, you are not alone. 709 00:42:21,130 --> 00:42:24,150 And actually, wow, it's pretty much all of us, huh? 710 00:42:25,550 --> 00:42:29,930 Of course, when our courts ask women questions like, why couldn't you keep 711 00:42:29,930 --> 00:42:30,749 knees together? 712 00:42:30,750 --> 00:42:34,430 Maybe social media is the best way to hold men accountable for their 713 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:39,240 to read The Room on public masturbation. It's too bad we needed a whole movement 714 00:42:39,240 --> 00:42:42,580 to explain this, but at least something good came out of 2017. 715 00:42:43,420 --> 00:42:48,440 And with that, we say goodbye and good riddance to 2017, the year that sadly 716 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:52,560 was. Thanks for joining us. We hope to see you again next year when we recap 717 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:56,160 2018, the year we naively believed would be better. 718 00:42:56,500 --> 00:42:57,500 Good night. 719 00:43:32,750 --> 00:43:33,750 I'll see you in a sec 68544
