What we have in our society and what I call it is confident, arrogant ignorance.

00:07:05 · The host uses this phrase to describe the tendency of people on social media to make definitive claims about tragedies without waiting for facts.

When you see on social media, it doesn't mean that people wish to be accurate. They all want to jump to a conclusion or be first in their guess of what happened, but not saying these are the probabilities. It becomes an absolute.

00:14:54 · The speaker discusses how social media users often present guesses as certainties rather than probabilities.

Haley Stevens, who lost to Abdul El-Sayed in the primary in Michigan earlier, was initially endorsing him and then pulled back the endorsement. And pulled back the endorsement because she's sick of the hatred and the anti-Semitism, the racism that he brings to to the table that is being endorsed by the Democratic Party.

00:18:31 · The host introduces a news item regarding a Michigan politician withdrawing her support for a candidate.

Journalism is no longer journalism. It's political activism.

01:01:41 · The speaker expresses the opinion that news media has shifted from reporting facts to promoting political agendas.

I mean, it's amazing. It's like we're cutting our own throats. We wish to destroy our product.

01:10:09 · The speaker expresses the opinion that political activism in sports is self-destructive for the leagues involved.
