| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. It's me, your best friend, Sarah. Let's talk about my week. I don't know. |
| 0:24.3 | This thing happened where Joanne Reed, who I enjoy and follow, tweeted, she tweeted a CNN |
| 0:31.3 | article about how Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, wants to form a state militia made |
| 0:38.1 | of civilians. So the CNN headline reads, DeSantis proposes a new civilian military force in |
| 0:44.7 | Florida that he would control. And she retweeted it and she wrote, so y'all know this is fascistly |
| 0:52.8 | bananas, right? Here's the thing. If you read the article she retweeted, you read that 23 |
| 1:01.8 | other states have this, you know, voluntary civilian militia already, including California |
| 1:09.3 | and New York. And so I replied just like a little comment underneath. I didn't like retweet |
| 1:15.6 | it. But I just said, you know, please read the article before you post this stuff. You're |
| 1:22.2 | a news outlet. The truth has to matter. I didn't really think anything of it put my |
| 1:28.1 | phone down. Check Twitter a couple hours later and had been completely co-opted by the right. |

| 1:44.0 | blow it up like Sarah Silverman rails against joy and read it. Because, you know, it's show |
| 1:51.7 | business. It's all show business. And look, I, I like joy and read. I very much do not like |
| 2:00.0 | Ron DeSantis. And I don't say this to placate the left. If this is my truth, I think he's a, |
| 2:05.3 | you know, he's one of those vaccinated anti-vaxxers who worships Trump. And I do think he might |
| 2:13.9 | could be dangerous. And, but more than I like her and more than I don't like him, I care about |
| 2:22.1 | what is true and how it's presented by news outlets. And she did tweet me later. She said, |
| 2:28.4 | please watch the show tonight. We're going to go in depth. And they did, you know, but that tweet |
| 2:34.4 | stood alone. And, you know, people get their news from headlines, unfortunately. What DeSantis is |
| 2:43.3 | going to do with a civilian led militia that he controls, probably perhaps will be fascisty bananas. |
| 2:53.4 | And that could be a title of a very well substantiated op-ed by joy and read. Or what she talked |
