You're listening to the dollop on the old things comedy network. This is an American history podcast where each week I Man who enjoys the light of lamps guy who likes hardwood floors Man who's been known to barbecue Dave Anthony reads a story from American history to man Gareth Reynolds who has no idea what the topic is going to be about It's not even gonna fight back anymore Why not because it's just it's just I mean just calling me man. It's just not it's not cool. It's just shitty. It's just, it's just, I mean, you just call me man. It's just not, it's not cool.

It's just shitty. It's wrong. Did you have a pet hamster? Is it trying to? I had gerbals. I had a gerbal. I had a couple of gerbals. Well, it was one or two.

A couple of gerbals. It's consecutively or together. Conseculatively. What happened to the first one? They're not immortal dickhead. How long did it live? The regular lifespan of a gerbil. How long is that?

I don't remember. This is a long time ago. Why are you so defensive? Because I just don't like where you're headed. What do you mean where? I'm headed. You have accused me me killing your father. No, you've admitted that number one.

come see us and then we'll let you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, I think it's me for Dave when I say fuck you guys. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And right now I'm a second episode in the row wearing some J-town hats. The J-town, yeah, ball boys hat. Yep, exactly right. I've come around. Speaking of which, May 29th, 1919, Year of our Lord, J-town.

He's so cool. He's been playing volleyball on the beach. That's just I wish his activities were a little more representative of what would be considered cool. Oh really? You mean the jet ski that he parks when it comes up to the beach? Yeah, but you just seem to have this kind of like 1980s like he's doing like he's he sounds cool in the 80s. He is cool. He's rad. The kids love him. I'm still finding areas that I can push back, which is cool.

Well, all we know is that because J. Town is so into what the kids are doing, that the kids are getting into Jesus. They're finding their way to J. Town. J. Town's finding his way to them. It's all great. Sure. Alright, let's start the episode, huh? A total eclipse was happening in Europe. It was a very rare chance to prove Albert Einstein's theory that Gravativity bends lights trajectory. Yes, the grass. Yes. Yep. Yeah He's very nervous as you would be. Oh, it's opening night, baby His theories are so revolutionary the technology His theories are so revolutionary, the technology, the technology to test them generally doesn't exist.

Like, it's not a round, so it takes a special circumstance like a eclipse to be able to test this thing. It's a lot like Professor Brown and his theory of 1.21 gigawatts being able to send a delorean back in time and getting the rare opportunity to use lightning to help Martin McFly get back to his time. And the similarities are are startling not at all not at all very similar

the experiment was going to be conducted by the british royal astronomical society and albert can't go uh... he he's with the graduate student when he gets a telegram stating that he was correct what why can't he go? I assume. Well, he's not allowed to cross the, maybe not allowed to cross the English Channel.

No, he's not there just because of the student. Oh. He just can't go. Oh, he can. Oh, okay, right. I thought he was like, sorry, I have plans. And I'm like, this is the only,

you can't make it to the eclipse to, okay. I got like a student date. I am so I promised this kid I'd eat sandwiches with him. Don't want to let him down. I do he would be so disappointed. So the graduate student is very excited. And Albert just said quote, I knew the theory was correct. She asked him what he would what he would have done if it had

been proven wrong and Albert said quote, then I would have been sighed for the dear Lord, the theory is correct. I just noticed what you've changed your name to in our the place where we record the show. You put an X because of Elon, you're doing an Elon day of X Anthony. Yeah, that's awesome X now. Oh, you go by X. Yeah. Okay. Albert, because I've been doing this podcast for 10 years. So you shouldn't I just suddenly have a different name for no reason? Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah. If you have something successful, slowly pull out the Django blocks that are the foundation, for sure. Yeah, it's like it's like change HBO to max because one

everybody loves one thing excuse me excuse me sir that is david zazloff's greatest moment and he deserves a hundred twenty four million dollars a year for this sort of stuff good lord yeah okay that's fair that's fair so albert is now thrust into worldwide fame because the the world's been ruined by war, and everyone's enthusiastic about celebrating science in this genius, like it's like a posse of the thing after everything they've been through.

Yeah. Yes, exactly. The UK Times headline, the revolution in science, new theory of the universe, Newtonian ideas overthrown Man fuck you Newton. How great is it to go back to a time when people I mean that's just like Just cut to now Where people like you can't film a nuclear explosion the camera pop

There were no nukes. Nukes ain't real. So his celebrity is also increased because of his look in his charm. Like, right? He's not like a drag academic. He's got this wild sort of look in his hair. He's got this sensuous lips. He's got like my powdery lips, same kind of deal.

No. Nottie, powdery, Anthony lips. You've got that like my powder lips same kind of deal. No, naughty, powder, Anthony lips. He also knows how to like perform for the journalists. He's a showman. Right. His his book is translated into English. It becomes a bestseller. Albert quote, since the flood of newspaper articles, I've been so deluged with questions, invitations, and requests that I dream I'm burning in hell and the postman is the devil eternally roaring in me, hurling new bundles of letters in my head because I have not answered the old one. Hey, what?

I say he's getting a lot of mail. Okay, that's a good way to say it, too. Oh, just feels like the devil is my mailman and his fiery polka is the mail. Yes Well, he thinks fame is ridiculous, but he means into it, but he's just gonna say come on If you're really smart you You definitely would grapple with what the fuck is this? You know, completely it's so hard. Yeah, maybe, but it's also like for a year, if you're wanna, if you haven't been recognized by your peers or society

for so long, and then you get a deluge, you know, party is like, yeah, I like it. Yeah, sure, yeah, sure. He gave a lecture in Prague, and afterwards, a young man found him and said, quote, on the basis of E.M.E. equals MC squared equation, it would be possible to use the energy contained within the atom for the production of frightening explosives. And he hid him.

And Albert said that was foolish. Oh, he regrets. Yeah, he. What do you stupid? Now at son, at 15, his son Hans Albert said, he told, he told Albert he wants to be an engineer. And Albert told him, quote, I think it's a disgusting idea. But Hans said, you know, that's what I'm going to do. And Albert stormed off. And their relationship goes to shit.

At least he's becoming a better dad. Well, he's a better people person. Yeah, he yeah. So Hans goes to Zurich, Polytechnic, he becomes an engineer. When he topped the class in exams, Albert was actually proud and he wrote Hans and forgave him for shutting science for engineering. Oh wow. Wow. I forgive you for making this terrible choice. It's okay that you're an idiot.

You're back, that's what Matt is now. Quote, sometimes I'm glad that you have chosen a practical field where one does not have to look for a four leafed clover. That's a double, that's a double backhanded compliment there. Yeah, it's the one where that's a double, that's a compliment there. Yeah, it's the one where you're going, look what I love about your work, you don't have to be smart to figure it out.

Yes, exactly. What's great about your work? You're not finding something hard. There's not a lot of pressure on you when you're doing your engineering because in what I do, I have to nail it. I have to nail it. I have to find the big thing. It's exhausting.

You, you're just kind of a dope. You're what my dad would call a dud. You roll out, you get that, those cars, all the other clowns, and you hunk you a little more. Yeah, you know, it must be nice because you can go somewhere and not wonder, how did this happen, how did this happen how did this happen you just sit and go eh can I just get one of your ares please oh boy hopefully the football team plays great

as weak and otherwise my life will not have meaning but as I look at the ball that the football players use and I think well why is this being how much pressure goes behind that where is it where what what elements are at play but you just go, oh, could I get another one of these snitchers, please? I have my stomach hurts, but I maybe go poop later. Yeah. Yeah. So the rise of anti-Semitism in Germany in the 20s makes Albert feel closer to his Jewish identity. The Jews obviously escaped guts for inflation and the destruction of post-war Germany. So they're taking a lot of hate. Some of his Jewish colleagues try to assimilate more and some even convert to Christianity

and are begging him to do the same thing. Yeah. It's interesting. This kind of seems like an area where he's principal Right because he was kind of like a ambivalent Jewish person But when it comes to this then he was sort of like no, fuck you. I'll double down. I'm now. I am Jewish Well, he's been he was the he was the one who was a team when he started

He was the one in the family. Yeah, right, right. He started to join the war in two. Oh, yeah, right. Judy. Whatever. So he embraces Zionism, supporting Jewish settlements in Palestine. Some German nationalists now use resentment against Albert's new fame to stoke antisemitism in Germany. Well, but that's how it works, right? It's like there's nothing I can do that will help.

Wait, what do you mean? Well, because he became famous because he got fame for coming up with this theory, it's huge. And even doing that, they use it as a weapon. Right, right, right. to increase their right wing bullshit right right a right wing aspiring politician paul wildland wrote articles denouncing relativity as a big hoax

here we go here we go what there are no more Here we go. What? And there it is. There it is. No more, Debbie. So Paul Wiley then also created a shady organization called the study group of German scientists for the preservation of pure science. Right.

So it's what's traveling in America now. It's exactly, it's 100% the same. So Albert said in the audience at their first meeting and just laughed at them. In 1921 a Jewish group asked Albert to do lectures in America and raise money for settlements in Paddlestein and create Hebrew University. So he arrives in New York City, by boat on April 2nd. And it was like the Beatles. His first appearance too, Sullivan.

He did Ed Sullivan first. Yeah, so, well, he had previously described doing press conferences as undressing in public, but of course he lands and gives a press conference to an interpreter. Yeah, right. And he's out there just like E equals MC equals MC squared emcee squared equals emcee squared equals emcee squared. That's there's going to be a lawsuit. That's just taking the work of somebody else. It's a Beatles song.

No, no, no, no, no. No, well, he did it first. The Beatles ripped him off. Oh, boy. Um... So he visits DC and when he's there, the Senate decides to debate the theory of relativity, even though most didn't understand it. Sure. Which is great.

Must have been really... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Most of the binges like looking at an audience of me is like Wait, oh like everyone like looking at each other when to clap like Yeah Oh Okay Oh so two of them Squared two times yeah, it times Oh, so two of them squared. Two times.

Yeah. It times, so two MCs. It's like a rap battle. Okay, I get it. Oh, good. All right. It must have been a bunch of people who were just like, I hope it ends soon.

Well, they asked President Harding about it and he said he just smiled and confessed he did not comprehend the theory at all. I was begging someone in the closet. With whiskey. So Where does he go to see the celebrity? He's getting flowers. He's there. Just praise everywhere. Where does he go to the celebrity? He's getting flowers. He just prays everywhere. The fundraising torch just does okay.

The poor Jews wanted to see him and support him, while Richard Jews are not really that excited. Interesting. So I don't really get that. He's a working Jews man. But he now knows he doesn't want to be a German. He wants to be like a citizen of the world. Right. So he also visits Britain and France but he now knows he doesn't want to be a german he wants to be like a citizen of the world right so

he also he visits britain and france who were germans enemies in the war he joined the league of nations international committee on intellectual comp cooperation to promote fast pacifism among academics uh... he starts getting along better with his sons and even Muleva. But Germany's in bad shape. The currency is terrible. Inflation's going crazy. It

costs one mark to buy a loaf of bread in 1920 and by 1923 it costs 700 marks. Oh my God. That's a lot of bread for bread. It's a lot, if you'd... Yeah. By the end of that year, it cost one billion marks. I'm guessing people just didn't eat bread. Yeah, that's when you're like, well, I guess I'll eat dirt. I'm doing abkins.

The German government introduces a new currency. So the German people blame different people for what's going on. Sure. Inflation and poverty, pacifists, the French and English, and Jews. Good, finally. No.

In 1922, a Jewish intellectual politician and friend of Albert's author, Retheno, was assassinated by the Nazis. Hitler called his killers German heroes. So now Albert is warned that he might be next. His name is on a list of communist Jewish conspiracists. It is- So did you get it? Hey there people listening to the dollop.

This is Gareth. Yes, this is the same guy. I listen, I have a new podcast called We're Here to Help that I'm doing with my friend Jake Johnson. It's basically a call-in-advice show where we don't say that we're professionals because we aren't, but we try to help people with problems that are important to them. You can listen to it wherever you listen to podcasts and it is out right now. So go listen to we're here to help with Jake and Garrett. We're here to help with Garrett and Jake. I don't remember how we did it. But either way, fun,

half hour comes out Tuesday, August 22nd and episodes will be out every Tuesday and Friday. We're here to help. Huh? To get out of harm's way, to get out of harm's way, he and Elsa decide to take a trip and they go on they go on a tour of Asia and the Middle East. Okay. And now he's still German at the time so his diaries make sweeping generalizations about people. Wait, who does?

Oh, his diary. Albert Einstein. Yeah, his diary. Okay, got you. people wait who does always dire yeah his diet okay got you okay i think okay uh... uh... so quote uh... the japanese man is unproblematic impersonal he cheerfully fulfills the social function which defaults him without pretension but the chinese were quote, industrious, filthy,

lethargic people often resembling a ton of automotons, more than humans, even the children are spiritless and look lethargic. Jesus Christ. It would be a pity if these Chinese supplant all other races for the likes of us, the mere thought is unspeakably dreary. It's just it's always it's always amazing to me that you can be like that's what people are saying about the Jews in Germany. I'm just gonna say, yeah. Yeah. And then you go somewhere else and do this, it's just so fucking mind boggling, do you?

I know. I just, as opposed to, hey, we should, we should join forces and overthrow that presses or whatever. Yeah, it's like the idea that all of these problems that society's facing could all be blamed on the Jews when it's clearly pretty much the Chinese. Do you understand what it's like to feel marginalized and just put into a certain bucket of thoughts and how you just view people not based on how they are personally, but just just view people not based on how they are personally, but just sweeping generalizations and stereotypes that cause violence and harm against them, except the Chinese.

What's with them, huh? Grich. Can I just take your order, sir? Yes, I will have the Kung Pao chicken, the food, as I'm believe it, the Kung Pao chicken. He wasn't done, by the way. Okay. Quote. The Chinese are incapable of being trained to think logically and that they specifically have no talent for mathematics.

I noticed how little difference there is between men and women. I don't understand what kind of fatal attraction Chinese women possess that enthralls the corresponding men to such an extent that they are incapable of defending themselves against the formidable blessings of offspring what i i i it it got so strange it actually lost me it just what is what is the last part he's just saying that i can't believe that they would, you know, have sex and have kids with

them. Right, because they look so similar. I would imagine if you were Chinese, you fuck yourself. So almost any woman, he comes across that he mentions in the diary. He talks about whether or not she's voluptuous or rotund or one of the finest figures that ever seen like any woman he that's what he mentions is how hot they are so really one of our greatest minds in science ever but he's also like Lorenzo Lamas well as Lorenzo Lamas even that bad yeah he I can't

remember what this is such a horrible reference but he had a there was some show where he brought out a laser pointer, he always show out their problems. Oh really? Yeah. Oh, John. And I was like, what the fuck? Although now everyone would be like, he's a presidential candidate.

He rarely mentions Elsa as wife except when he brings up her indignation when he leaves her behind. Her indignation. Again, he has another one of these wives who doesn't when he leaves her behind. Her indignation. Again, he has another one of these wives who doesn't want to be left behind once again. Yeah. Now, a lot of the wives seem to want to be his wife. Did you know what to stop?

Like a stunning amount expect a marriage from him. Yeah, yeah. He learns on this trip in November 1922 that he'd won the Nobel Prize for Physics. He had been nominated many times. We know. And that money is going, we know that half that money is going.

That's awesome. Go ahead. Albert was annoyed. It took so long so he refused to change his travels to go to the ceremony in Sweden. Nice. And it actually wasn't, it actually is not for his work on relativity. He was never recognized for that by the noble committee. The prize was for his services to theoretical physics and his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect. Which was such a dumb one. It's like when theyichino the oscar for sent of a woman it's like all right it's a make-em-up

that totally totally uh... he got thirty two thousand dollars about five hundred thousand today and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and He did it. I know. All right. That's that up on that one. That's good. In 1923 he had an affair with his secretary. Well, his guy is. His guy. Why do you think you wanted to leave his wives at home? It's hard when you're like you're with your cousin, double cousins. So it's like you're having, you have two wives kind of. Sure.

And now you have a secretary who's not a cousin and you're like, oh, what's that pool like? Yeah, it's strange. Yeah. Non-Cousin-E. Yeah. So he's offered a job in New York and he tells Betty she can come live with him in the house

with his wife is in. Quote, I will convince my wife to allow this. We could live together forever. He's so maybe he doesn't know, maybe he doesn't know what people are. Is that a possibility? I don't know. It's like, it's so you could talk about the polyamorous thing before you get married, but when you're in a marriage and then It's also like are you gonna cheat on her or are you gonna like what's like?

It's like don't shit. I was really to be like I Think the plane was really to go to his wife and go so there's another lady I want a fuck and I want to have her here in the house But if you're not supposed to shit where you eat, you shouldn't be like, we're going to put a toilet in the kitchen. Yeah, no, that's true. So Benny just teased him for what was a crazy suggestion and then eventually she realizes that this is not going to happen and she ends the relationship.

Okay. Okay. So after becoming world famous, it's amazing. It's amazing. This mind he has for science and physics. And yet. And he's a fucking idiot.

And then he's like, why don't we just bring the woman I'm fucking into my wife's house. It's a lot like when your dad brought a state to Thanksgiving. It is. It's a lot like when your dad brought a state to Thanksgiving. It is. It's a lot like that. Uh, you can find that on my album, hot. Yeah. So after he becomes world famous, Albert starts to lose like his intellectual

innovation, his creativity. Right. He starts falling behind as new discoveries are made. And in the 1920s, quantum physics is the new frontier. Albert Skeptical, he believed that early on, but now that it's better understood, he's not sure about it, especially the theories of randomness and probability and uncertainty. Even though some of that builds on his prior work, he's like, yeah, I really know. He's pursuing a unifying theory of everything. He wrote a paper to understand the gravitational and electromagnetic field as one.

And he hoped it would dispute some uncertainties of quantum theory, but two years later, he disproved his own theory and so that. It does have to feel a little bit like, you know, he kind of like he, he had such a big hit. Yeah, no, he did. He had like a huge hit and then it's like, you know, he's like, Now what I mean, he's coming up with other songs. It's just like he wants another hit They're not bad. They're not bad. It's like and the hardcore fans are just going I like the new stuff You know, but they're all kind of going like they're at the Don McClain show like just do American pie man

That's right. That's right. So quantifices is becoming more accepted and Albert started to look like quaint at best and like a crank at worst. Okay. So whenever he writes a new paper it gets in international mainstream press. Right. Time interviews him and said he looked quote, Haggard, nervous and irritable due to ongoing stomach problems and constant visitors. Well, just stop having visitors. Quote, Dr. Einstein, like so many other Jews and scholars takes no time. Sorry,

I'm sorry, Dave. Hey, time. Can we actually, what's that? Sorry, Dave. What's that? I'm going to actually sidebar with time for a second. Go ahead.

Can I just, can you leave the room? Can I just talk to time for a minute? Yeah, for a magazine that is called Time, it might be good to think of longevity, because time goes on for a while. OK, come back and finish the quote. that is called time, it might be good to think of longevity because time goes on for a while. Okay, come back and they finished the quote. I just wanna make sure time had a understanding.

Yeah, that's fine. I was just saying the thing about how Jews don't like to exercise. Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da. Well, they're in their shop selling things so they don't have time. Time, time's new headline. Why can't Jews do pull-ups? It's so, it's so crazy to read through the past

just like mainstream press and see how fucking racist and anti-submarine everything is. Oh, no, not what it is. A board, but on a level where it's like Honestly like when I see the cartoons. I'm like what oh my god Yeah And 1929 his new paper trying to create a unification theory sold out immediately so people to create a unification theory sold out immediately. So people.

People are like, man, the website cracked. People, he like Taylor Swifton. People like, man, I can't even, dude, you can't even get nosebleeds for the new Einstein theory. Journalists are totally wowed by it. The New York Times went to churches to interview theologians and Christians who claimed Albert proved their faith was true,

less than a year after publishing it, he gives up on the theory. He's like, that's not. That's not happening. He's like, Zacta LaRocca. It's got it, but you're right though, like he had a huge hit and he's trying to take big swings.

Yeah, no, he's like, yeah. So he and Elsa move to a country town outside of Berlin where Albert can sail on the lake. Various women are visiting some, he's having affairs with. Sure. So Elsa knows about some and she's not happy about it, but he's unapologetic, quote,

what one enjoys and doesn't harm others one should do yet but Albert it's harming me so here's what i think you're missing in that because i think that is fine but you're my husband and it is harming me you understand it's he just doesn't see women as humans. He just doesn't. Look, if I want to sleep around without a woman, I am allowed to as long as it hurts no other

human. Which are women? I like, I like to fuck. What do you want me to do? Yeah, you should have known I was a fuck boy when you looked at my hairstyle. Elsa said quote, I find him wonderful although life with him is exhausting and complicated. Yeah, that certainly is. So while at university, Hans fell in love with a woman nine years older. His parents, his parents, Albert and Malayva agree she is unattractive in scheming and tried to convince him not to marry her. If anyone, okay.

Did you at all? If Albert wants to do that. Okay, whatever the guy's erratic, he's pruped. The fact that Malayva is like, she has a bit of a limp. She's nine years older. Yeah, but then she's exactly not even Albert. I'm saying Malayva. Even Albert, like Albert, no, but I'm saying both of them.

Yeah. You said Albert has no neither one of them. They went through the same. But Malayva experienced it so firsthand of being like her mother-in-law was basically like, you're not good enough. And so he's probably, Hans is probably like, look, don't worry.

You're gonna love my mother. She's gonna love you. The bar is so low. And she's like, nine years older, she's a bit of a dog, isn't she? Like what? I mean, just accept the fact that the older woman is better in bed and that's wow.

Like come on. Wow, you're going there, huh? Yeah. Wow. Yeah, I went there. Edward has mental health issues. Well, that's why the young dudes are in the right place. Dave, I will, I mean, you can think whatever you want. I don't see

age in a woman. I think all women are beautiful, powerful angels and, you know, each one's different. Who knows? Some may be great, and others may not be, but either way, I mean, it's just as long as there's beauty and passion and I get to finish where I want. Look who's never taken a dive in a Lake Cougar. Edward has a little belt. I'm not going to let you get away with that shop, bro. I use the summer camp at Lake Cougar. Do not come at me with the Lake Cougar stuff.

As Edward has mental health issues and he wants to study psychiatry, he also found love in an older woman. But with Edward it did not work and he becomes very depressed. So after Albert visits him in 1930, Edward tries to take his life. Malayba begs for Albert to help, but he was off on another voyage to America. It's supposed to be a Loki two-month research ship at Caltech, and he gets tons of speech offers and invitations. He declines them all. When they dock, this time, there's a hundred reporters and photographers swarming the ship. So weird. So he's literally like, you're not kidding when he say

it's like the Beatles, like it's crazy. Yeah, except now he's like maybe trying some different psychedelic shit, you know. EMC Square. And I'm like, what? This is weird, man. I think he's taken something. He answered a name questions with Cuips and Oneliners.

My theory of relativity is bigger than Jesus. Oh. One asked what he thought of Hitler. He said, quote, he is living on the empty stomach of Germany as soon as economic conditions improve He will no longer be important. It's like I know It's not great. It's also like you know you would be like You would be like look. It's a little crazy over there right now, but it ain't gonna get creaking get crazy crazy over there right now but it ain't going to get creaking crazy in san Diego he gave a famous speech famous pacifist speech calling up

people to resist military drafts quote the timid might say what is the use we shall be set to prison to them i would apply even if only two percent of those assigned to perform military service should announce the refusal to fight as well as urge means other than war of settling international disputes, governments would be powerless. They would not dare send such a large number of people to jail. Nice. And inspired, inspired, passiveist start wearing badges that say 2%.

Milk. inspired pacifist art wearing badges that say two percent milk now the president of the president of calt yes milk the president of caltech robert miliken is a noble winning physicist and a huge conservative of the two percent speech miliken said quote the two percent comment if you ever made it is one which no experienced man could possibly have made for sure ever made it is one which no experienced man could possibly have made.

For sure. Yeah. Yeah, no, you can't be. Yeah, what do you mean? You can't be an experienced man at life whose country spent through a war to really come away with Americans. Always had their fucking minds. He, so Milliken really hates this guy named Charlie Chaplin, who is a huge lefty, bigger

lefty of the Einstein, and Milliken is alarmed when the two of them become friends. The Einstein go to Chaplin's movie premiere, a city of lights, to a raucous applause. Chaplin said, quote, they cheer me because they all understand me and they cheer you because no one understands you. It's a horrible one. It's just so weird like he is. It's just pure celebrity. So now he's in the celebrity world. He's hanging out with chaplain.

The ever just celebrity is so fucking weird. Well, I, I, this is not a great comp, but there are many similarities to like the way that Neil deGrasse Tyson has kind of because he's so smart and because he has, he, and again, I know there's some issues there. I actually had a tweet that someone said fucking got so many likes it was, I was worried. But it is, like, they, you know, it is the power of celebrity. I mean, it's like, it kind of takes over and it becomes, you become like a rock star scientist,

which is even when we talked earlier about Einstein sort of saying he rejects celebrity. I mean, he clearly doesn't really, you know? If you rejected celebrity, you would be taking a different course of action because if your work is all you really give a shit about, you just fucking stay home and do your work, but he's making trips.

He can't take care of his son because he wants to go bask in the spotlight a little bit and he's friends with famous people. So, you know, it's very clear that like, and that is a thing celebrities do too, right? They show up to premieres, but then they also ask, why can't I go to the grocery store? It's like, bro, you can do a version, right?

There's a version of this where you don't get bothered. Oh yeah. So Albert makes a speech, lamenting that science was used more often to do harm than good. And trying to make life better for all human should be the aim of science. But in war, it has given us, quote, the means to poison and mutilate one another. And in peace, it has enslaved men to machines, making them work long, wear some hours, mostly without a door.

I mean, I'm gonna beg the guy. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha that suppressed freedom. A lifelong friend said, quote, he was completely anti-totalitarian, no matter whether it was Russian, German, or South American. He approved of a combination of capitalism and socialism. Sure. He did admire the attempts by the Russian Communist to remove the class system and encourage simple living. He was very critical of American excessive consumption. Well, I think we'll have the last laugh on that one.

So Mr. Einstein, Dr. Einstein. That's right. There's never been a more equal. When I was on the plane yesterday, what? Again, I just watched the bags of trash per flight, just like. It walked me through the plane again. Yeah. By December 1931, Albert New-Hydelib Brillen,

he did a short research student at Caltech and then he went to the Institute for Advanced Studies near Princeton to take their offer which was long-term. He had no teaching duties or academic pressure. It was just researching at his own pace, but it wasn't at over till summer 1933 andikad is furious. He's the Caltech guy. He's been working hard to establish a relationship with Einstein. I'm going to be snubbed. But it's also like you're a conservative asshole. Like what are you talking about?

Well, who called him out? He's not. So like yeah, he's not. Yeah, already called him out. He, Milikad suggests that they share albert Einstein but albert was like no albert's like that's just for women he still thinks he might occasionally be able to return to germany and keep his position at the

pressure academy he's like i'm up your buddy yet he's very deluded about what's gonna happen well so many were, obviously, you know. The woman patriot corporation protested his new job. They were, quote, guardians against socialist pacifist communist feminist and undesirable aliens. So the whole, the pact.

Right. They set a 16-page memo to the State Department full of reasons to deny him a visa, quote, not even Stalin himself is affiliated with so many anarcho-communist international groups to promote this preliminary condition of world revolution in ultimate anarchie as Albert Einstein.

I don't. I get it's like when Nixon was like, John Lennon's got to leave. It's yeah, the conservatives are just out of the fucking minds nuts nuts the state department gave the letter to the fby over twenty three years the agency's dossier on albert would be one thousand

four hundred and twenty seven pages the american consulate calls him in to ask for an interview asking him whether he was a communist or socialist. Oh my God. After 45 minutes he yelled, quote, your countryman invited me begged me, if I am to enter your country as a suspect, I don't want to go at all. And then he went back to his cottage and told them if he did not get a visa by noon the next day he wouldn't go to America and the visa was immediately isn't everyone know when they enter America they're a suspect not sure what's pretty much that's called that during the

America that's pretty much what we're doing over here. You're not clear on that, buddy? That's kind of our goal. That's our model. They leave Germany officially in December 1932. Why? They're official out. That was a month before Hitler took power. I think the writing was on the wall. That shit was about to go real bad.

Man, that's what I keep trying to pull off. I got to believe America right now. I just can't do it. Yeah, you're at, we're very close. So the next month Hitler takes power, in March, his apartment is rated and ransacked five times in three days. He still expects to work in Germany and he gets on a ship. He's in the middle of the Atlantic when he learns the Nazis of Rady's country house looking for a quote, caches of communist weaponry. Elsa's daughter, Margot escapes where their husband of Paris and they smuggle his papers to the French embassy.

Wow. Wow. So he gets word on the ship. Yeah, halfway, halfway across. Man. They would have killed them. Oh my God, they're looking, they're trying to. He turns, the ship goes to Belgium,

and there he renounces his German citizenship and resigns from the Prussian Academy, and the Nazis are fucking livid because they wanted to humiliate him by firing him in front of the okay I thought they were like why wouldn't he want to be German we're hip now no they wanted to use him remember they used him to to increase anti-Semitism so the academy had some Nazi sympathizers so they no one really objected or

stood up for Albert. The Nazis then said no Jew could hold an official position in any academy or university. So they were waiting until he got there to do that. Usem is an example. There was a $5,000 bounty on Albert Jesus, which is like $100,000. I mean, that's nuts. That is nuts.

So now he has, he's got new thoughts on past. I mean, I wanted poster for Albert Einstein. I mean, I'm asking like what? It's insane. So there's, now he's like, there are some situations where taking a barms is morally right. He's very public about it, and some are saying he's indecisive or inconsistent, but to him it was like, it was scientific.

There was new data, new evidence, so he changed his hypothesis. Edward was in an asylum near Zurich at this point, with schizophrenia, and Albert decides he should visit him. Oh, nice. And Malayva. Oh, wow. Yeah, he's going to do a two for his. So is it going to be in the same room

so I can bang it out in like 45? I'm actually looking to go play pickleball this afternoon with some ants that I'm trying to fuck. So he thinks he's going to be able to spend half a time in Europe now, but this is the last time he's ever going to see them. In October 1933, he joins his wife and his assistant on a boat to America. Is that the assistant?

That's not the one he was banging. No, no, yeah, she's out of the picture. Now this time, Skres is really tight. When they get there, they're whisked away on a tugboat before the press season. So the picture of Albert as a kindly disheveled absent minded professor mostly comes from this time, his time at the institute.

Quote, I'm a kind of ancient figure known primarily for his non use of socks and wheeled out on special occasions as a curiosity i've reached an age when if someone tells me to wear socks i don't have to sure that's very fair and i would think that quote probably doesn't do too many favors as far as people being like he's

is genius uh... the institute director flexor wanted him to avoid publicity too many favors as far as people being like, yeah, he's genius. The Institute director, Flexner, wanted him to avoid publicity, scared it would lead to anti-semitism. But Albert thought there was no anti-semitism in America. Well, he's obviously right. But also, wouldn't you want a guy, wouldn't it make sense to, like, as opposed to being like, Jews don't exist, to being like jews don't exist to being like hey what a great heroic genius jewish person

wouldn't that be a better direction you think that instead of being like uh... albert the one rule is uh... don't be a jew and uh... don't ruffle any feathers and don't really come up with too much because we don't want people knowing you're here we actually are trying to eliminate the idea that Jews exist. That's kind of what we're doing. Hey, we're America. Our official policy.

Hi, did you? We're trying to hide you. And here's why. In America, we know how to solve stuff and not exacerbate. Yeah. So, yeah, that's right. Rabbi asked Albert to speak. Two FDR about the plight of the European Jews.

So the institute gets a call from the White House, and Flexner is furious, and he declines the invitation on Albert's behalf. What? So Albert doesn't know about the invitation until later. And then he asked you write Eleanor Roosevelt apologizing because this guy is running a Jew block. Yeah.

This guy is trying to erase existence of Jews. Yes. I want to help out. Exactly. In order to solve the crisis, he's like, we just need a slight of Jews. Yes. I want to help out. Yes, exactly. In order to solve the crisis, he's like, we just need to slide of hand this religion. And you could have had a guy who knew what it was like in Germany, go there and talk to FDR. I'm sure that would have made a bigger difference, but whatever.

That didn't happen. Yeah, well, what matters is, what matters? Talk like a selector. I mean, well, we still rushed into it. So he's really angry that flexner kept trying to control him. On a letter, he wrote his return address as concentration camp Princeton. You know, that mailman was like, there's no stamp. Oh gosh. Oh my God. Do you have any idea what they're doing here?

Maybe it's just a place for people with ADHD. God, I hope it's that. He complains about the meddling of the Institute's trustees. And so Flexner has to back, sorry, he complains about it to the trustees and Flexner has to back off. He's like, this guy's too much. So their relationship never gets better. Elsa's oldest daughter, Eliza died from leukemia. Elsa, quote, changed and aged almost beyond recognition. Her other daughter, Margot, moves to the US as does Hans and his family.

So Elsa became afflicted with a swollen eye, which was from heart and kidney problems, which I've never heard of. I didn't know your eye would swell, but here we are. She had an eye-stie. She dies on December 20th, 1936. Albert just worked, quote, as long as I'm able to work, I must not and will not complain, because work is the only thing that

gives substance to life. Woof, that's a bad quote. Feels like a life phone. It's really bad. It's really bad. Yeah. Life is a series of appointments. He looked quote, ashen with grief, but went to his office every day. Now there's two European refugee scientists in the US, Sealand and Vignor, and they're worried that the Germans would

buy uranium from the Congo, which is at this point a Belgian colony. And if you don't know what they did there, very much likely the Germans did the, with the Germans did the Jews, sorry, Nazis, whatever. So Sealand theorized that uranium would be used to create a nuclear chain reaction and they go to Albert and the three of them write to the Belgium government warning them to be careful about uranium exports

and then they write FDR about the potential for a new kind of bomb which the Germans might be pursuing. So FDR puts together a committee to investigate the potential of the technology and Albert doesn't want to be a part of it. He wants nothing to do with it. And Sealand and Vignare were in. So FDR called a conference and asked Albert to come, but Albert said he had a cold. Nice. And the meeting was about the Manhattan Project. So the meeting's led to the Manhattan Project,

which made the nuclear bomb. Well, thank God we didn't let, even if Albert, thank God we didn't let the Germans have their hands on it, we'll do that. That's right. So even if Albert had wanted to be a part of the Manhattan Project, he probably couldn't

have because the FBI probably wouldn't have allowed it. Hoover wrote to the Army Chief about the, quote, pacifist and political groups he had supported. I just want to point out that if you're a pacifist in America and this still goes today, if you are a pacifist, you are considered an enemy. It's also like, I forget what it was. I can't remember what the New York Times was reporting. The CIA said a couple days ago. But it's like, here's an idea. If the New York Times tells you what the CIA is thinking,

let's just not count that for anything anymore. Let's just say we don't allow that to be where we get our information for stuff like that anymore. Well, that's a New York Times though. What do you expect? They're just a stenographer. I love Wordl. Love my wordl. Yeah, I can't. Wordl's great. You were all I used to share wordles. Um, no, I don't want to be a part of anything. You share the wordl, but it said, right, after you finish it, you get to share

it with your buddies. You get to share it with your buddies. Hover also falsely claimed Albert attended the World Anti-war Congress in 1932, which many was pro-Soviet. Hover also included false biographical information like Albert had one child, was an extreme radical and contributed to communist magazines. So Ho just made up a bunch of shit to make Albert look worse because Albert was a pastor. Did Hoover just have like madlibs where he just would like put in like the names of people and it was just kind of like it's almost like how you fill in a contract where you just change the date, the person's name, the signature stuff like that, but it's all just pretty much like he's an enemy.

Well, it's the FBI, like, you know. That's what they do. Not telling the truth is part of the thing. So when Albert finally finds out about the man at-and-projects progress, he's very stressed, he's upset. Right. So there's no discussion about how to control it.

So he fears an arms race, if you can imagine. Imagine. Near the end of arms race, if you can imagine. Imagine. Near the end of the war, in March 1945, he pleaded with sealant to convince Americans not to use the bomb. Germany's losing the war. They don't have a bomb. So there's no reason for the US to finish the project.

He wrote to FDR, FDR never read it. After FDR died, they found the letter still unopened and dissolved. He was too sick to read it. That'll teach you. It was passed to Truman's Secretary of State who met with Sealand, but then in the end just didn't care. And two atom bombs were dropped in Japan on August 1945. 200,000 people died as a result and specifically targeting civilians.

Like that was the point. Well, with those nukes though, I mean, the idea that you're like, it's just gonna hit the specific look. It's like, it's probably gonna spread a little bit to be quite honest with you. And Truman really wanted to do it, right? Like Truman was like, I don't, honestly, I don't remember.

But Truman's a, he's a gentleman. Right, yeah, right. I mean, so he was, I mean, it feels like the toy. He was like, come on, let's see if it really does it. Let's see if it really does it. Time magazine put Albert on the cover. This time in the mushroom cloud behind him and E. E. E. was MC squared.

What the fuck? Quote. Albert Einstein did not work directly on the atom bomb but Einstein was the father of the bomb in two important ways tell your cover it was his initiative which started us bomb research to it was his equation which made the atomic bomb theoretically possible

i mean so that's gonna be a good day for Albert. Yeah. I mean, you're a pacifist. I mean, just... Man, uh, fucking time. And then of the day, it doesn't matter if you're a pacifist. Like, people will take your work

and use it for evil. Well, and even beyond that, it's like you are vilifying the pacifist as the pacifist led to war. So it's like, look, it's better to trust those who want war than the pacifist who gave you this. He wouldn't talk to the press for why? And when he did, he's, I don't know.

What was his deal? When he did, he stressed that nationalism was always going to cause wars, and the world needed an international governing body. He envisioned a global authority with a monopoly on military power that superseded any nation. He campaigned on this issue for 10 years. He also wanted an international control of nuclear weapons to avoid unparalleled catastrophe in the future. It's like a good idea at the time, but it's like, I mean, you know, uh-huh, it's, uh,

mm-hmm. There's just, I think when you maybe live there, you're like, yeah, okay, there could be some control over this stuff, and now you're like, yeah're like yeah no there's no we don't have solutions anymore we just have what's the worst version what's the fastest way to kill everybody so he's constantly invited to give speeches he refuses most in nineteen forty six he's split he spoke at a black university in Pennsylvania quote the separation of the races is not a disease of color people but a Z's of white people okay I'm gonna take a five I'm gonna take a five I'm just give me five I'm a little hot right now I'm just a

little hot right now I'm a little hot right now it's just so it's just so weird like yes, you're right, but also why you treat women. Like, yeah. His speech is most ignored by the mainstream press. Only black papers cover it. He wrote in an article at a magazine that the more he felt like an American, the more it's slavery past pained him. So he becomes friends with a civil rights activist,

actor and singer Paul Robison. Robison is on J. Edgar Hoover's Debt Con list, people who would be put in concentration camps if war breaks out with the Soviets. By who? What do you mean? Who's concentration camps? American government. What? Our concentration camps? Yeah,'s concentration camps? American government? What?

Our concentration camps? Yeah, American concentration camps. We just wanted to make sure we had them. We put the jab on them. No, I know. Yeah, we had them in term again. Yeah. He was blacklisted from performing in the 40s. Albert wrote a letter to President Truman supporting Robinson's anti-linching campaign and Truman said, quote, time is not right to pass anti-linching laws. Which I think is the episode of the west wing if I recall correctly, that's exactly what they would have said on the west wing. But in 1948, Malayva dies after having two strokes.

I was still not ready to move on. Oh, man. And it's so deflating. The anti-linching thing, the anti-linching, it's not time for an anti-linching conversation, went on for ages in America, it's crazy. If you can imagine. Maybe they're slogan wasn't right. Somalava dies. Edward is living in care, but his behavior is getting more erratic and violent. Then Albert is hospitalized. He has an aneurysm in the abdominal aorta, so it's like blistering

of a blood vessel. No treatment, he just has to be careful with his diet. In 1949, he read an essay titled Why Socialism. And he argues that unrestrained capitalism produced great disparities of wealth, cycles of boom and depression, and festering levels of unemployment. If you can imagine. It encouraged self-lishness over cooperation. He advocated for a socialist economy with a democratic government. He also described America as half fascistic. I would really, I'd like to put all Al Einstein

in a time machine and let him see us today, show him how stupid his words are. I mean, really, like, could he have stuck that landing better? I mean, that is so. Yeah, I nailed it. Oh, heck. Except the half fascist part. I'd so funny that there's the famous zap on crossfire basically saying the same thing calling america half-fascistic and the

and the guys just losing their mind and it's like no albert i'm so saying that the four years to great clip so he doesn't condemn communism he doesn't he doesn't like the russian government because uh... it's authoritarian he thought the hype of communism being a threat to America, however, was nonsense. Quote, America is incomparably less endangered by its own communists than by the hysterical

hunt for the few communists that are here. We have come a long way towards the establishment of a fascist regime. Well, I think I'll say that all Al Einstein is, ba-ba-ba-baby, you just ain't seen and then nothing yet. When news came, that Russia had developed its own bomb, America Panics. We start working on the hydrogen bomb. Albert went on Eleanor Roosevelt's new TV show. Who the fuck knew how

She had a TV show. It sounds like she had like a talk show. Yeah, what Eleanor after dark you never saw it? It's great It was awesome so good. It was like Dynastore Albert went on Eleanor Roosevelt's new TV show, each step appears as the inevitable consequence of the one that went before and at the end, looming ever clear lies general annihilation. And he criticized the growing red scare. The next day Hoover ordered his head of domestic intelligence to compile a report on Albert's loyalty and possible communist

connection. A 15-page report listed organizations but didn't actually link him to communist causes. Again, many of his biographical details are completely wrong, like having a phantom son named Albert Einstein-Jun Jr. Jr. who lived in Russia. They made up a, they made up a cally son. And they couldn't even be creative. I mean, they're like, he's Albert Einstein Jr. and he lives in Russia. His actual son, his actual son Hans was a professor at Berkeley.

So kind of the same thing. So they become more systematic and dogmatic about gathering information on Albert. What was missing from his 1400 page file was that Albert did actually meet a Soviet spy. They had an affair in 1941, Margarita Conan Cove, she introduced him to the Soviet Vice Consul in New York. She was never able to get any useful information out of him and he refused to visit Moscow. He was probably just trying to like eat her ass

the whole time or something like that. She's like, so he was trying to, he's just like a dirty built me and I was just like, I don't know how many secrets he has but he really loves butt play. Oh no's like, I don't know how many secrets he has, but he really loves butt play. Oh, no, sorry. I don't know how many secrets he has, but he loves butt play.

And he's like, is it possible? Well, maybe we do, maybe I go down on your butt again. She's like, tell me, Albert, when you've talked to the government in the United States, what are their plans for the future? What are their plans for the future, Albert? And he's like, I don't know, it's not much. What do you say?

I go and chip out again. So the FBI never found out about that until their love letters were released in 1998. So they had no idea. So they just made up things. So the FBI could have had a cogent connection and instead meet up all i'd stand junior lived in russia meanwhile he's also power it he's got a big point

so in nineteen fifty three public is supported non-cooperation with macarthe the macarthe red scare sound hearings, Albert said intellectuals called to the committee should refuse to speak. Not take the fifth, but just use the First Amendment, and one physics professor called refused to talk, quote, or refused to answer that, and I am following the advice of Professor Einstein. The media just goes bat shit, fucking crazy, calling Albert suggestion legal disobedience that's in the York Times. The Washington Post called him an extremist. The Philadelphia Inquirer called him an

instrument of propaganda. And McCarthy said Albert Einstein was an enemy of America. How great is it? How great is it when the propagandists are like your propaganda? That is just so the playbook is so it's always the same. I think that's what I just will never get over is like It's the technologies changed the premise is identical They're always doing what they accuse others. Yes, like in school They're always doing what they accuse others of, like in schools. They're trying to take over schools. They're trying to put in all their fascist bullshit. They're trying to destroy schools.

And that's what they're accusing everybody of. The reason why Florida textbooks now are talking about the slaves that benefited from slavery is because they're really, because they're worried that the white children are gonna grow up feeling guilt. So we'll just go this direction. So because of your lies that have hurt the white children, we're gonna put some lies in here. Yeah, but the only reason they're doing that

is because they don't want their kids to come home and ask them why they're using the N word. Well, as well as you don't ever want to promote an education, and this is only on a varied scale in this country, you don't want to promote an education that ever pushes for why revolution works. So before and after the war, Albert opposed the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine. He thought it would ruin the Jewish people. Quote, I am afraid of the damaged Judaism will sustain, especially from the development

of a narrow nationalism within our ranks. But he does support Israel when it's created, he emphasized the way in which they treated the Arab population would be, quote, the real test of our moral standards as a people. How the, how they work out. When, uh, when the first Israeli president died in 1952, there was a campaign for Albert to be the next president. Wow. He read it in the New York Times and laughed until he received a telegram from the Israeli embassy offering it officially. Wow. Albert handed him his written rejection immediately. Wow. Wow.

That is crazy. There's another movie. He told you nailed it though. He told you nailed it though It's how they treat yeah, yeah, right? It's how they treat the at the Arabs that will be the definition of their state and that's what it is in 1955 His abdominal aneurysm broke and the next day at the hospital he jotted down a few calculations of final attempt At a unified theory equation and then he died age 76. He was still focused on physics and creating unified theory.

He never completed it. His history of political activism is completely ignored because it's considered not what America likes. God, what a complicated existence. I mean, just, I mean, again, it's like, I still sound like the person who first did this show, but it's like, I'm like the infomercial guy. History can be interesting Like why would you not teach the whole

Story of Albert Einstein. It's I would remember that I would retain it's Yeah, but they don't want you know I know I know I mean when I say why I'm like I know but it's like, it would just be, like shouldn't the point just be, let's get more educated from the past versus, let's ignore it to repeat it? You cannot absolutely, you cannot have the person who's considered the smartest man to be pro communism or pro socialism.

Yeah, no. You can't have that. They can't have that. That absolutely cannot be a thing. Because then people will be like, well, what's wrong with it then, if the smartest guy in the world? I mean, well, that's what it should,

that's what it always should be promoted as, by the way. If you wanna have like, when you're actually talking about like, who should be in charge it's like should be the smartest person the smartest person we should have a really smart person who I ideally along with being smart is principled but when you look so you think you think he should maybe run the national organization of women. No, that's not what I'd say. But I just say that like, when you look at our politics, it's never, you're never like, this is one of the smartest people I've ever heard. You're like,

yeah, he was like, he was, it's like Ron DeSantis or, you know, Joe Biden, like Trump, they're not, they're not the smartest people. They're just not. You know, it's like, why are we listening to what Kardashians think? What? That is irrelevant. Yeah, no, it's eight. Why are we listening to that? It's always get to, because capitalism doesn't reward smarts. It rewards number one rich, it double rewards rich, and it rewards psychopathss and it's like the way that the way that he paints America's future is Is just exact it's exact exactly it is it is It is you know, I mean

We've talked about it before you know the way that You are you live in a system that despises socialism. However, it employs it for itself all the time. And you pay for it already. And yet, we're like, well, there wouldn't work here. But it works when, you know, when you have to bail these fuckers out. Or I even can't get over the fact that like, I, how the fuck are politicians asking us for money? Like, if you're a Democrat or a Republican and you need money for your campaign, go fucking get it from other people in your party

who have conned the system to make the money. Go do that. Like when I see like Joe Biden, I'm like go get money from Nancy Pelosi. Or when you see like Trump asking for you, like dude you've grifted so many millions of dollars. How the fuck are you asking people for money Like because they get it because they get it because they get it because people are you know terrified and and also

It's not even just because it's also because We've we slowly get to these points so it doesn't seem so bad It's the fact that all this stuff kind of moves glacially rather than hyper speed. And so you go, yeah, no, I know, but if we can just get a new pill that women can take, then that's pretty good. And it's like, no, what the fuck, a year ago, two years ago, you could get abortions in this country. So everything moves in the direction slowly, and so your reaction is always just more of

like you're just used to it by the time it bottoms out. You're just used to it. And that's like why when you see that Arizona is 100 degrees for a month, you go, well, I mean, you know, it's like 98 last year for a long time. You know, it's like, okay, well, then it's going to be 110 and then people are going to be fucking dying at a higher clip. And then it's going to be 120. And then at what point do you go, holy fuck, that you could cook pasta in the ocean?

Really? You just get in there? It's getting there soon enough. So I can just go down the ocean with like I can bring. Well, a lot of the recipes call for salt in the water. So, okay, makes a boil faster. So, I'm here in positives. You're absolutely man. I'm glad you're listening. I'm glad you're listening. There's a there's there's a lot of good that's happening right now. You could fry eggs on sidewalks.

You can cook pasta in the ocean. You know, it's good. Yeah. I put a steak on my friend Al's head. Research was done by Charlotte George main source, Walter Isaacson Einstein, his life in the universe. Also the travel diaries of Albert Einstein, the Far East, Palestine, and Spain, Fred
