Agree the issues are important.

I've actually researched this quite a bit and I'm sorry I don't believe you're right. I've studied both Paramount footage and YT. I also have other evidence, I can't say the source, that what I conjecture is correct. Please create some clips that support your claim and put them on Google drive or something and send me a link. You can figure my name at g mail here. medium.com/@maxrottersman Thanks!

​@@maxcanthelpitdue to limitations of only having mobile devices - phone and tablet - as well as financial limitations, my ability to download and create clips is limited to nonexistent. However, the full 17 minute 11 second extended interview segment on comedy central includes the return from commercial break, guest intro, introducing his best seller, where Jordan Klepper pronounces Jonathan Haidt as "Hite" and it also includes the full outro where Klepper says they'll take a quick break and they'll be right back. The video of the segment uploaded to CZcams is 16 minutes 38 seconds. It clips about 34 seconds from the beginning, starting where they're both seated at the desk. It clips about 10 seconds at the end after Klepper says Jonathan Haidt. It's one of the top videos in a quick Google search for the Daily Show Jordan Klepper Jonathan Haidt interview. This segment is as of this comment, available to view without a subscription. Because I don't have a subscription to Paramount+, I was unable to watch the full episode. So I'm not sure if there's any differences there. After spending further time, it appears that the interviews available to watch on Comedy Central contain the full intro and outro, with the exception of the three most recent interviews from this week. I'm guessing that sometime over the next few days the full segment with intro/outro will be available on CC. It's possible that at the time you made this rant, the only the 16 min 38 second video was on CC. What's surprising to me in all this is you seem to think that the Daily Show's production values are so inept, that they would just start a segment that airs on TV without introducing the guest - when they've introduced the guest on every episode. What gets cut due to TV time constraints is parts of the interview, not the intro. I do disagree with those who've called your rant unhinged. Viewing this in context, of Jordan Klepper pronouncing Haidt as Hite, and does so in the CC 17 minute video, perhaps the rant should be directed at the pressures of quickly uploading content to social media platforms, where the production values displayed when the episode airs, are cut when the episodes/segments are edited for social media.

​@@phoenix2634 Tech is my business. I have another channel Maxotics. So I don't have the "limitations" you do ;) I downloaded the clips and listened to them VERY closely using headphones. I cannot find the episode on comedy central. I watched the first on Paramount, which is the full one. You should note I noticed something was odd while watching it with my wife. And as I said before, I was not looking for issues like this. All this doesn't mean my 62 year old ears just heard it wrong. I've been watching every TDS epsidoe since Stewart came back. I have never said they are "inept". That's not my point at all. I understand that segments can be cut for time. As I mentioned, it wasn't the inability to hear Haidt name at the end that convinced me. It was that Klepper only called him by his first name in the beginning. My argument is not that TDS is inept. It's as professionally produced as I'd expect a multi-ten-millions show to be. The problem for me is moral values, the values of good journalism (even if you're a comedy show) and the distinction between making an argument and making comedy. Most of TDS is about making arguments, the facts of which, I would dispute. The gist of it is, TDS sets up a "cool table" where the audience feels like they can sit at. They get to hear the jokes of the inside cool kids. There was no "cool kids" table of nerds/geeks when I was young. IMO, much of what they say is simply re-hashed news. Like when I pointed out Stewart said we want the oil from the Middle East when we don't use it anymore (though we have other interests). TDS makes mistake after mistake. But anyone who brings it up is told, "it's just comedy". And I say, then do comedy, not news. And they say, "chill out, you don't get it." OKAY!!!! You admit yourself you don't have the technical means to ascertain if Klepper pronounced his name correctly. You haven't given me a timestamp of a video I can watch and listen to him pronounce the name correctly. But again, I am not infallable. Thanks for taking the time to make these comment and especially to appreciate that my rant is NOT unhinged. What fun is a rant that isn't ;)

No country can adjudicate a crime against humanity since it is a conflict of interest, here in the U.S., Israel or Russia.

Who told you that? Which legal code? You just made that up. The charges are against individuals. Those individuals are subject to the judicial system of their countries. But cute take anyway.

@@sholoy480 By your logic all the Nazis should have been released because they had their own judicial system. Thanks for giving a Nazi perspective here!

​@@maxcanthelpitnope. The Nazis did not have a judicial system which the world could accept. For obvious reasons. This is the reason also the icc issued the warrant for Putin because clearly Russia is not capable of holding Putin to law. Israel is a vibrant democracy with a fantastic and independent judiciary. In this case the icc has no jurisdiction.

Which is why he can take more of the high road ;)

I understand where you're coming from. Here's a question. For the first time in history people can text and call each other. Why don't all the guys on each side call each other and say "F this old man stuff, let's all put all our arms and meet at a bar." It's what I would do. ... I only try to explain.

It's an AI Avatar in Capcut. I thought she looked like she belonged in a college.

Why I keep making these videos is a mystery to me too. I cringe the most but something keeps driving me onward...

@@maxcanthelpit I guess you can't help it

Hi Brian, I did a video for you or others who might wonder what's wrong with me ;) czcams.com/video/HD61ZOmvEWQ/video.html

I wish I had read enough history to understand your witticisms. Thanks for commenting!

The U.S. was a nuclear superpower and lost to Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Lebanon, etc. I don't believe there would be a war if there was a better President than Biden. Worst President in my life. With friends like his administration, Ukraine doesn't need enemies. I'm not joking. But things are what they are. You're right, there no opinion that doesn't reek of war-pornography.

Hi, I'm not familiar with Brazil's auto industry but a cursory study shows they don't have any 100% home grown models. What they had had engines from FIAT or VW. Is that right? I watched some of Asianometry's videos about ISI in other countries, like Australia, with cars. What do you think is wrong about the argument I made in the video? Do you believe these tariffs will help or hurt the U.S.? Thanks!

@@maxcanthelpit I am going to be brief here, but firstly: Very few if any countries have 100% homegrown cars and domestic content in vehicles manufactured in any given country has been a shrinking fraction in product for decades. Brazil had a large industry, however, with fully fledged divisions of multi-national makes from GM, Ford, Chrysler, to Renault and Fiat. This is no different than Europe with SEAT, Opel, Vauxhall, etc.. (Not sure what authority a tech channel like Asianometry, good as it is, has on the car industry or history therein btw... odd source). In addition, there were nearly 100 independent producers of niche models, including substantial ones like Puma and Gurgel that produced and sold 1000's of cars during the ISI era...

@@theCharmingDeviant To back up a bit, I'm not sure the tariffs were about auto manufacturing. I believe they were a punishment to China because it is supplying arms to Russia through the black market. As I say in my video, it's not all tariffs that I'm questioning. Most countries do it. It's a 100% tariff. On a whole product. Do you believe that's going to work? I mean American EV makers are already pulling out of the market. For what it's worth, I've always viewed EVs as niche luxury products. But that's a long conversation about the practicalities of energy sources.

​@@maxcanthelpit Secondly: Nearly all modern EV/Hybrid Tech has origins in DARPA/Military projects dating to the 1970's/80's, and Japanese Tech dating to the 1960s (see Toyota's electric Starlet), and aside from methods for scaling, CCP has invented nothing of consequence in this area. In order to do business, there, Musk had to sacrifice IP, so a lot of China's EV product owes much to Tesla. Which brings me to my next point... Fair competition vs rigging the game. huge Chinese subsidies prop up their "new energy" sector vs US market capitalization subject to the whims of our investor class. CCP has ownership of nearly all companies (in full or part) vs ours which private or publicly traded corporations. Then there are labor costs of US vs CCP, aggressive CCP Market protectionism & tariffs (see also Japan). Not to mention access requirements for foreign companies forced to partner with CCP entities, not to mention their own aggressive tariffs. I could go on.... If our tariffs keep demonstrably unfair competition out of our market, preventing what happened in Brazil or making what happened already in the USA worse, then I think they are the wisest, most just course of action.

@@theCharmingDeviant I'm NO FAN of the CCP. Not by a gazillion miles. If third world countries don't "borrow" IP would they really have a chance in these industries? Again, no fan of China in this regard, but I doubt Brazil was squeaky clean either. There's no true fair competition and everything has some rigging. Auto manufacturing is so large they are all State subsidized to some extent. Have you forgotten the 2008-2010 bailouts? I didn't want them. Where was capitalism then? I don't see the "demonstrably unfair competition" We have the reserve currency. We set the parameters, in the end. A 100% tariff on the whole car is crazy, if only for the reason that there are so many parts, etc., that go into it. Plus they'd have to pay for regulatory approvals, etc. It sends the wrong message. But thanks for your insight!!!

Nice comment, but I'm no Muskboi maxrottersman.medium.com/marques-brownlee-elegant-spokesman-for-wealthy-tech-bro-climate-killing-energy-hoarders-90170f629ce7?source=friends_link&sk=8e9bf921257507881bbe409dc638cf18 OR maxrottersman.medium.com/elon-musk-loves-a-good-poop-on-a-government-agency-a281e062d1b6?source=friends_link&sk=afa7ba1b0421157083e8d4b74fc4ed30

Believe it or not that is my attitude on 99% of these mistakes. I wasn't looking for this mistake. I watched the video to do my usual analysis. Then it seemed strange how the music came up so quickly at the end. So I listened closely to see if something was being covered up. Then I noticed Klepper pronounced the name incorrectly. I put my detective hat on. If that's the case he would have done it in the beginning. Then I found he didn't say it then. It isn't about mistakes. Yes, they happen to everyone, me at the top of the heap. But as I mentioned in my rant video, Jordan Klepper isn't a man with a dog on CZcams. He is part of a large corporate media company with huge resources and responsibilities. I see these kinds of "mistakes" all the time and I don't feel they're innocuous for reasons I touch on in this video. We're in world war. We're there because the generations who understood the important of mutual respect have died off. I know, that will seem a stretch to you. Be that as it may, that is my soap box rant ;) I'm not here to change the world. Only to give comfort to those who see the same decadence taking over.

Yes, I know it's a comedy program. Am I preventing anyone from enjoying it as fluff? No. I comment on aspect of how it fits into our social mores, values, etc. This piece isn't really about Jordan Klepper, it's about professionalism at TDS and corporate governance at Paramount. Will anyone at Paramount see my videos? No. I wasn't born yesterday. I'm not tilting at windmills. I'm trying to explain how the show works as propaganda and a conduit to marketing. 99% of people will view my videos the way you do. I'm not doing this for the 99%. This is a hobby channel produced for a minority of certain types of thinkers.

@@maxcanthelpit OK, I'll bite...How does picking on a minor mispronunciation demonstrate how the show works as propaganda? Of course it's a conduit to marketing, it's on basic cable ffs and paid for by ad breaks. Still, Stewart has famously mocked Viacom now Paramount and his own sponsors or sponsored content (Arby's, anyone?) That's why his tenure with Apple TV+ or whatever it's called has been contentious. I am sure you prefer "old-school journalists" like Murrow or Wallace pulling a drag while plugging Pall Mall cigarettes before reading the news or starting an interview... We get it, corporate media sucks. But these comedians are the jesters of our time and can speak truth to power far better than anyone on CNN, MSNBC, or Fox. Do better with your targeted attacks.

@@rmick75 Thanks for not writing this off. I've done a video about the general format of TDS, "The 7 Rules of the Daily Show". I think when Stewart was younger, before he started making millions, he spoke truth to power. Same for Lewis Black before him. As I explain in one of my videos, Stewarts message to Tucker Carlson meant something to me. Then I began to suspect Stewart became worse than Carlson, in making everything a political attack of a political party. When he said he was going to do "Indecision 2024" I figured I resurrect this experimental channel to follow it. I cover other media stuff too. His first episode was good. I was hopeful. It's been all downhill from there. Sorry.

@@maxcanthelpit I guess I am not in the target audience as my opinions and conclusions are far different. Yes, Stewart and The Daily Show in general has let me down many times. He's a flawed human like the rest of us, subject to biases and negative influences. But if you cannot see the difference between Stewart and an obvious partisan shill like Jimmy Kimmel I feel bad for you. TDS is often hit or miss, but when it hits it hits hard. Look at the example of when Fox sent Jesse Watters to Chinatown to produce some stereotypical garbage report and TDS's rebuttal with Ronny Chieng hit it out of the park. Jordan Klepper starred in a special on guns that was actually pretty nuanced as he gets training with a licensed instructor. Stewart, unlike Colbert, who sold his soul to CBS, seems to still be above the partisan bs, evident by him coming on Colbert's show and questioning the official narrative around the Wuhan lab leak origins of the covid virus, to Colbert's obvious consternation. Unfortunately, neither this video nor our subsequent conversation has really motivated me enough to check out more of your content, but I guess I wish you luck in finding your audience.

I spoke up once in a situation where I was a nobody. Embarrassed myself. Later, a friend, before he died said he was happy I spoke up and said what he wanted to say but was too afraid to. I'm sure he would have done the same for me. There are scorpions and frogs. I'd love to play the part of a scorpion but I am a frog. It's what I do ;)

I assure you, in TV journalism you never introduce someone by their first name only. If you were an author on a show, would you want that? What viewer would prefer that? Again, this isn't about specific rules, it's a question of journalistic and corporate principles. It demonstrates disrespect for the responsibilities of good journalism and corporate governance.

Many people who watch TDS are like those in Plato's cave, looking at the entertainment projected on the wall. I bring news of who creates the shadows and why. 99% will want me to go away. I'm here to help guide those who want to leave the cave.

I don't think it's a joke to old school journalists, as I explain in the video. I did another video today which explains it to those who are not in the industry.

I don't doubt it. I'm no spring chicken. But not the point of my video. The standard of excellence for a nobody on YT with a ZERO budget and a $9 billion market cap of Paramount Global, which uses quite a lot of public resources (microwave, fiber on pubic lands, etc) is different. But I get it, you'll defend the oligarchs wherever you can ;)

​@@maxcanthelpit Fair point.

@@opethandhash Thanks, sorry for my snarky last words ;)

It's certainly no fun getting no likes or thumbs down, but I've been here before. Recently, on Medium, for example, I wrote soon after October 7th what might happen and many said I should get a life and I was an antisemite. No one says that to me anymore. I don't choose to be who I am. I don't believe any of us do. It's not about my sensitivity. Or, if it is, so what? You can watch my latest video if you what to leave another comment. Cheer!

Do I think what is new? Is your name petty? You never care if someone gets your name wrong? Okay!

You so get it. It isn't about how people pronounce Jonathan Haidt's name the way he wants it, it's what I WANT :)

Did you watch the video? Think about what I'm saying? I said in "journalism" there are unwritten rules. These are also rules that apply in some degree in civic life. I explain why the rules are important for us to have a healthy society. If this is "inconsequential" to you, I get it. This isn't a channel for the masses. I'm angry as a former (perhaps current) journalist at the professionalism of The Daily Show. I watch these shows to see what they say about society at large. Again, it's small number of people who have this interest. Whatever you do in life, imagine someone doing a lazy bad job at it and tell me you never get angry. That you don't want to rant. That you don't say something. How would you feel if you wrote a book, went on a TV show, and they got your name wrong. Seriously. Tell me. I don't believe in most medications. But that's for another rant ;)

@@maxcanthelpit Thank the Lord above that we have you to explain the rules to us!

@@TheOnlyAsAnd I'm annoying. Guilty as charged!

This is the most unhinged thing I’ve seen all week. Learn how to edit my man. Talk about a lacking standard of excellence! 🤣🤣. And report on things that are actually meaningful maybe?

@@timdavisphotography7366 I have a channel where I talk about technical stuff. Maxotics. Am I unhinged? Yes. That's how rants work. Not all my videos are rants. As for standards of excellence, I'm not doing pretty videos here. I don't have a $25 million budget (my budget is 0). Rants are not about that. Most of Jonathan Pie's videos are out of focus. So what? I don't go to your photography and say it isn't meaningful. I never get that about people. Especially from a fellow artist.

Maybe he is and my 62-year old ears can't hear right. It wouldn't be the first time I"m wrong. We'll see! ... You had me worries. I watched on Amazon Prime with headphones. He says Jonathan "Hadt" not Jonathanon "Height"

@@maxcanthelpit Klepper has an upper throaty almost nasally sounding voice. It would probably sound a bit wrong no matter how correctly he pronounced it. But I just listened to it multiple times on headphones as well. It does not sound wrong to me.

He is. Watch his lips and you can see he is pronouncing it hīt. But, please, continue the intellectual dishonesty. I’m 63 and I heard it clearly.

@@MsKeebe I didn't watch the video to find this error. If you watch my other videos on the channel you'll notice my interest is the content. Anyway, at the end I thought it strange they pulled up the music so quicky on Kleppers book recommendation. That's why I listened closely a second time. It was weird to me, as a "producer". Then I realized he pronounced it incorrectly. But to prove it, I knew I'd have to see if he pronounced it correctly in the beginning. When I watched that I realized he never said his last name at all. If you believe my analysis is incorrect, okay. I play both clips twice. It's HEIGHT. If I don't hear that then yes, I have problems with my hearing. But to call me intellectually dishonest is what?

Are the things worth your time worth the same time to everyone?

Not newsworthy petty​@@maxcanthelpit

I already knew the answer. AI is just another research tool. I agree, I wouldn't trust it.

Yes, I was really shocked that recently he kept interrupting Abdullah Hammoud. If he should interrupt anyone it should be Cornel West and all the wild-ass stuff he says ;) (no offense to Cornel West).

Well, should you ever get insomnia I am at your service! :)

No. The Daily Show was off this week. I've probably run out of things I want to say on this.

Yes, I wish I had his talents, truly.
