| 0:00.0 | I'm alive. Welcome back to the Loopcast. It's Tom, Erica, and Josh. Josh is here. He just is. He's out of frame. The Loopcast is brought to you by The Loop. Every Catholic American's favorite morning newsletter goes to subscribe if you haven't. It's going to be a great show today. Josh is back from D.C. Welcome back. Josh. Great to have you back in home to turf in Michigan. We are touching today. Apparently, Chief of Staff's Susie Wiles, was giving interviews, 11 plus |
| 0:23.8 | interviews over. |
| 0:26.1 | Do you know who her dad is? |
| 0:28.8 | No. |
| 0:29.3 | No. |
| 0:30.4 | Pat Summerall, the old announcer for football games. |
| 0:34.3 | Oh, I actually did see that. |
| 0:36.1 | Yeah, okay. |
| 0:36.5 | You're right. |
| 0:36.8 | She talks about her dad. Well, she was talking and announced her fashion. So, yeah, she gave |
| 0:43.4 | these interviews and then Vanity Fair launched this huge piece, some very questionable |
| 0:48.5 | photography. Let's put it that way for certain members. As a photographer myself, |
| 0:52.6 | wild. Wild, yeah. Two pieces. So we went through it. We have kind of what was going on behind the scenes. It offers quite the insight. Photography, brutal. I'll just come on and say that. I mean, the press, the press secretary, you know, the current press secretary, I think is super cute. And they they just like do a photo like just zooming in |
| 1:11.4 | like this and no one looks that good when you like do a microscope and i don't really seemly or |
| 1:16.6 | whatever the last one wasn't my style but some people might find her attractive and they made her |
| 1:21.1 | look like a warrior princess oh yeah yeah inside baseball too that actually wasn't what bugged me my |
| 1:26.6 | wife yells at me about this all the time when we do photography. They put people too close to the wall on purpose. Like, if you're a good photographer, you don't put someone up against a wall unless you're trying to make some point, which I think they were in this article. You bring them away from the wall. So there's more separation between your subject and the background nitpick. |
| 1:48.2 | Second one is going to be this compact article that got released about the lost generation. |
| 1:55.0 | The summary of it was that there's intense anti-white men discrimination for millennials. |
| 1:58.4 | The older generation kind of complied and pulled up the latter. |
| 2:17.8 | We now have some commentary from people like Ross Duth at this point, we have some commentary from Jeremy, not Jeremy Carl, right? Is it Jeremy Carl? Yes. Yes, Jeremy Collin. I think this has been a conversation ongoing, something that people kind of implicitly understood. This is the first time we've seen it put to writing with statistics, with anecdotes, and it's really just opened up this massive conversation that we want to take part in as well. First time, but, you know, I'm going to, |
| 2:23.1 | I'm going to pick a knit there. Okay, picking it when we're there. The final is we got an email in |
