5
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 2: One of the good things about everybody in the world

6
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 2: posting on social media is chances are pretty good you're

7
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: going to see somebody post exactly what you agree with.

8
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 2: It may take going through hundreds of thousands of them,

9
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: but you're likely to find it. In the wake of

10
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: the killing of a National guardswoman, I guess you call

11
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: them national guardsmen in Washington, DC last week, the following

12
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: was posted by Vince Langman posted an X The scariest

13
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: thing about the terrorist attack in Washington, DC is the

14
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: fact that I honestly don't know if this guy was

15
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: radicalized by Muslim jihadis in Afghanistan or radical democratic politicians

16
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: in America. First of all, it's a pretty good question.

17
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: Christy nom Homeland Security Secretary, went on the weekend talk

18
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: shows and said indications he was radicalized after he got

19
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: to the United States. But whether he was or he wasn't,

20
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: what's worse, I don't know. We've been ducking this issue,

21
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: this fundamental problem for a couple of decades. And it's

22
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: not just US, it's Western Europe as well. The number

23
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: of terror attacks or acts of violence committed in the

24
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: Western world by radical Muslims is overwhelmingly disproportioned to their

25
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: numbers and the countries in which they're now living. It's

26
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: almost the chicken or the egg argument. Are they radicals

27
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: before they get here? Or do they become radicalized after

28
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: they're here when they get to their new nations. Do

29
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 2: they see that their terrorism, their ideas, the radicalism is embraced,

30
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: even encouraged, encouraged by one of the major political parties

31
00:02:51,360 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: in our own country. Or are Western nations, in pouring

32
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: into their countries people who hate everybody who is in

33
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: a Muslim hate any attempt to create an order that

34
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: Muslims don't agree with or not, it's a question worth

35
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: diving into. In the end, both options are terrible, but

36
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: we continue to duck it. We ducked the question in

37
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: a country in which we obsessed over January sixth of

38
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one for years an essential non event, an

39
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: event in which lots of patriotic Americans went to the

40
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: country because they were concerned about whether or not their

41
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: election was stolen. A bunch of Democrats deliberately let them

42
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: go into the capital just so some trouble could occur

43
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: that they could make hay out of. It wasn't a

44
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: long term in vdication of anything but the rhetoric you're

45
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: seeing from Democrats now and the fact that people again

46
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: and again and again and again and again and again

47
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: and again are willing to kill. That's part of a pattern.

00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 2: dot com now. Some reportings emerge on this the killer

57
00:04:52,520 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: of Sarah Beckstrom. His name is Ramanula Lockenwall Afghan refugee

58
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: twenty nine. This story is on ABC News. For all

59
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: I know the story is true, but it still seems

60
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: comical and I think misleading. One of the two members

61
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: of the National Guard who were shot in Washington, d C.

62
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: On Wednesday has died. US President Donald Trump said. Then,

63
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 2: on Friday, the US Attorney for Washington d C announced

64
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 2: the initial charges of assault against the suspect will be

65
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: upgraded to murder in the first degree. And then, and

66
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: as investigators continue to delve into what may have motivated

67
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: the suspect in the deadly National guardsman shooting last week,

68
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: a portrait of a life of the increasingly financial, of

69
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: increasing financial stress and a potential mental health crisis has emerged.

70
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:59,799
Speaker 2: Sources familiar told ABC News. No, again, this may be true,

71
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: but it's almost comical in nature to report it. The

72
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 2: reason that these sources are going to stress these things

73
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: is that it avoids the larger question. First of all,

74
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: just about everybody who does something terrible has any number

75
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: of things going wrong in their life. It's never one thing. Secondly,

76
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 2: increasing financial stress, potential mental health crisis. Do you know

77
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: how many people that covers what fifty million? Thankfully we're

78
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 2: not yet at the point of which fifty million of

79
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: them are killing patriotic Americans back to the ABC story. Additionally,

80
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: multiple sources said that investigators are looking into the impact

81
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: of the recent death of an Afghan commander who allegedly

82
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: worked with the suspect. The death of the commander, whom

83
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: Lockinwall is said to have revered, had deeply saddened the suspect.

84
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: Sources said, Oh, that's interesting. All of you who've been

85
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: in the military, say your sergeant or a lieutenant that

86
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: you admire dies, I'm sure your initial response is to

87
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: drive all the way across the country and kill someone

88
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: in the National Guard. In other words, this thing may

89
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: be true. Maybe he was all upset that this commander died.

90
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: So what you get my point here about missing the point?

91
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: And everybody wants to miss the point because they don't

92
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: want to confront the real issue, which is, we have

93
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: a movement in America that now is including the Democratic Party,

94
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: that is fomenting out and out insurrection and violence in

95
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: this country. And we have a problem with deeply radicalized

96
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 2: Muslims who are in this country and can't stand our country,

97
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: can't stand England, can't stand France, can't stand anything that

98
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: doesn't live according to their violent Muslim principles. Back to

99
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: the ABC News story this commander's death, this may have

100
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 2: compounded on Lackenwall's financial burdens, including not being employed, having

101
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: an expired work permit, and allegedly struggling to pay rent

102
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 2: and feed his children. Sources said. Officials said the suspect

103
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: has a wife and five children. He drove from his

104
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: residence in Washington State to the nation's capital prior to

105
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 2: the shooting and targeted the Guardsmen. Official set, No, that

106
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: requires a lot of determination. That's a long drive, one

107
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: of the longest drives you can have in this country.

108
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: Watching it at Washington, all the way across the country.

109
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 2: That's a long time for second thoughts in habiting. That's commitment,

110
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: and that's my point. These people are here, they're at

111
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 2: all over the Western world. They're growing in number, and

112
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: they're being fueled by members of one of the large

113
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 2: American political parties. That'd be your Democrats, A senior law

114
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 2: enforcement source told ABC News on Sunday. The investigators are

115
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 2: looking at everything and are closely examining the role of

116
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 2: an apparently deteriorating situation at home. The FBI, Homeland Security,

117
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 2: and intelligence officials are also investigating the possibility that the

118
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: attack was directed by or inspired by international terrorists. First

119
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: of all, I will be stunned if this wasn't directed

120
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 2: by or inspired by national and international terrorists to what degree,

121
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 2: we don't know. Coming under the influence of people who

122
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: keep repeating the same thing over and over and over again,

123
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 2: or being funded in order to do it. Those are

124
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 2: different degrees, but both would indicate influence. There are reports

125
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: that this guy's name had been google searched repeatedly in

126
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: the days prior to the attack. Hard to say whether

127
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: or not that's true. If it is true, why were

128
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: a lot of other people googling him prior to this

129
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: unless there may have been some prior knowledge, which again,

130
00:10:53,160 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: maybe there was, maybe there wasn't. As I said, Homeland

131
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: Security Secretary Christinomes said, he was radicalized in the United States. Again,

132
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: I find that believable. I also find it believable that

133
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 2: he was radicalized in Afghanistan. And again, which is worse?

134
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: It's the chicken in the egg argument. Is it worse

135
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 2: that Joe Biden allowed thousands of so called refugees that

136
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: come into this country who were radical and dangerous and

137
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 2: had no vetting? And is our refugee program set up

138
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: so that people may indeed be refugees but may hate

139
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: America even more than the country they're flaying. Or secondly,

140
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 2: do we have such a toxic environment in this country

141
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: that we have all over the place, radical monstrous people

142
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: that are training individuals to do terrible things, reinforcing their

143
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 2: attitudes and so on. I don't know what's worse. Maybe

144
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: the second one's worse because the first one you could

145
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 2: do something about. President Trump has called a halt to

146
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 2: all refugee relocations at least in the short term, until

147
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 2: we can get a handle out of this. You can

148
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: do something about that, stop accepting refugees from anywhere in

149
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: the world. It's not a perfect solution, but that does

150
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 2: address part of the problem. The other problem, it's more profound.

151
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 2: We have six members of the United States Senate, the

152
00:12:51,480 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: seditious sex who have encouraged military members include the National Guard,

153
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 2: to disobey orders, disobey illegal orders, somebody prone to radicalism.

154
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: Here's this, Oh my god, this military here in the

155
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 2: United States, and Trump is sending out. Even the Democrats

156
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 2: say that they need to be stopped. They're dangerous, they're awful.

157
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 2: In the meantime Color Revolution, very few people have heard

158
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: that term. It's the roadmap that's being put up by

159
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: the radicals right now. Color Revolution. We heard a whole

160
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: lot about the soul called terror threat from Catholics, from MAGA,

161
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 2: from everybody else. Hear the actual threat being downplayed because

162
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: it's real being downplayed by people who I think are

163
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 2: in support of it. General Michael Flynn. It reads as

164
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: if the script were lifted straight from a CIA playbook

165
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 2: or overseas regime change using pressure campaigns so obvious now

166
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: that even the average American could recognize what's going on.

167
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 2: One delegitimization campaign against Trump Q framing normal authority as illegitimate.

168
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: That's what Mark Kelly and the others in the Siditious

169
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: six did. The military is illegitimate, These orders from Trump

170
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: are illegitimate, attempting to mobilize military disobedience, attempt to trigger

171
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 2: defection in the military and intelligence world. Now, the purpose

172
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: of all of this is to foment chaos, and out

173
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: of chaos, their belief is the American people believes that

174
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: the only way to end the chaos is to get

175
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: rid of the political force to which the chaos is

176
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 2: reacting to. Okay, just give them what they want in

177
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 2: let the radicals run the country, that we won't have

178
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 2: chaos anymore. For people who say that that won't work.

179
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: It sure worked. In twenty twenty, COVID and George Floyd

180
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: burn down the country, panic people of aravirus, lock everything down,

181
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: create economic disruption. Who won the election as a result

182
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: of that cheating? Notwithstanding? The following is from Mark Lucas.

183
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: He posts on X and focuses on the denial that

184
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 2: many Americans have about how radicalized some Muslims are, and

185
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: he points out that the people who have had close

186
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 2: contact or are served in Afghanistan, they don't have that

187
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 2: naivete because they saw it first had This is what

188
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: Lucas posts when neary Americans cannot comprehend the evil Afghanistan

189
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: war veterans experienced. Afghans were untrustworthy allies who sold their

190
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: children to pedophiles, ritually raped little boys, and beat their women.

191
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: I deployed to Afghanistan in twenty ten as an infantry

192
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: rifle platoon leader. It was the deadliest year of Operation

193
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: Enduring Freedom. I saw radical Islam up close and personal.

194
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: There were a couple of women attached to my unit.

195
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 2: They were brave, tough, and blonde haired. They served as

196
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 2: our female engagement team. My soldiers constantly protected them from

197
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:48,359
Speaker 2: local Afghans. These sick men would linger around our foot patrols.

198
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 2: They had zero respect for these women. They would have

199
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 2: beaten and raped them if given the chance. As a

200
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,239
Speaker 2: platoon leader, one of my main duties was to conduct

201
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: key leader engagement with local Afghan leaders. During these meetings,

202
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: cute little boys would serve us tea. These boys were

203
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 2: sold into slavery and sexually abused by these sick older men.

204
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 2: My local Afghan interpreter sympathized with these children. He told

205
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 2: me their parents would sell them into slavery in exchange

206
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: for educational opportunities. He proudly said, some of these boys

207
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 2: would return to murder their parents. My combat experienced open

208
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 2: my eyes to how incompatible Islam is with American values.

209
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 2: Number of other posts on X dealing with the fueling

210
00:17:52,400 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: of all of this by Democrat politicians before I read them.

211
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 2: Let's do a float chart here. The point men, the

212
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: trigger men. They are easily influenced people like, for example,

213
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: the shooter in Butler, Pennsylvania, the shooter of Charlie Kirk,

214
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 2: or the radicalized Muslim who traveled from Washington State to Washington,

215
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 2: DC to kill a guardsman. They're the ones that are

216
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 2: the trigger people. How do you get them to do it?

217
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: You have to fill their heads with ideas that allow

218
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 2: them to think they're doing the right thing. As I've

219
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: been telling you forever, rationalization is the second strongest human drive.

220
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: You can rationalize anything. You can rationalize killing a twenty

221
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 2: year old woman serving as a National guardsman. You can

222
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,959
Speaker 2: do anything. You can rationalize killing Charlie Kirk, You can

223
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 2: rationalize killing Trump, and it's sure easy to rationalize it

224
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 2: with all sorts of people. Inofficial positions of authority kind

225
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 2: of seem to be telling you it's okay. This from

226
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 2: Carolyn Downey. If you demonize National guardsmen on national TV

227
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 2: and say that their deployment to combat DC crime is

228
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 2: a fascist enterprise, some lunatics are going to take you seriously. Indeed,

229
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: this is me now and on her. How many times

230
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: have you heard prominent American Democrats say that the National

231
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: Guard deployment of the major cities, including DC, was fascist.

232
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 2: You can say that they were engaging in hyperbole. You

233
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 2: say it or not, a lot of people bought into it. Andyvity,

234
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 2: You've got fascists out there patrolling American straits. Maybe you

235
00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: ought to do something about it. This is Ezra Cohen,

236
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 2: former Intel official. When lawmakers imply publicly that members of

237
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: the military are engaged in illegal activity, it is foreseeable

238
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 2: that violence against the military will take place again. Isn't

239
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 2: it logical? It's six Democratic senators out there saying that

240
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 2: the military is acting illegally. Somebody who hears that is

241
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 2: in a reach in a country of three hundred million

242
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 2: plus people, that somebody's going to hear that and think

243
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 2: that they ought to do something about it. Evidently not.

244
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: This is Brian Dean Wright. He's an EXCIA ops officer.

245
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 2: Democrats weren't joking when they said we're at war. Their

246
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 2: incitement leads to blood, the sedition leads to chaos. They

247
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 2: know exactly what they're doing. Let me throw out a

248
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: provocative thought. You saw in the wake of Charlie Kirk,

249
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 2: the open happiness from so many people on the left

250
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 2: in this country, how many of them were also happy

251
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: that a guardsman was murdered in Washington, DC. You certainly

252
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 2: didn't see as many of them going on x and

253
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: posting their glee, But you wonder they seem rather unbothered.

254
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 2: They were certainly born bothered. By January sixth, Elon Musk.

255
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: When will democrats in the media be held accountable for

256
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 2: the hate and violence that they formit for ment This

257
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 2: is Musk falsely labeling violent people as fascist or Nazi

258
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 2: should be treated as incitement to murder. Look at the

259
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 2: number of people who are simply right of center, work

260
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: for the government, support Trump whatever. How many of them

261
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 2: have been called fascist and Nazis. The vast majority of

262
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: these people have been called fascist. The Nazis are simply

263
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: patriotic people. They are not violent people. But they're being

264
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 2: called these terms. And now they're being killed right and left,

265
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 2: from the prominent Charlie Kirk to an attempt to kill

266
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 2: the most prominent Trump to now simply an American in uniform.

267
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 2: This is again happening all over the place, and there

268
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 2: is zero reason to think that it's going to stop.

269
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: It's being fueled by people who don't back off, because,

270
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 2: as I say, they evidently are happy this is going on,

271
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 2: or they would back off. Now, let's focus on the

272
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 2: problem of us importing potential terrorists into the United States again.

273
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: I go back to my question of what's worse the

274
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: fact that we're offering the welcome matt to people with

275
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,239
Speaker 2: no vetting at all, many of whom may hate our

276
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 2: way of life and want to violently do something about it. Problem,

277
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 2: as I say, plaguing all of Western Europe, and then

278
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 2: the problem of the fact that we are culturally preaching

279
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 2: from nearly half the country this level of hatred and

280
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 2: justification of terrible violence. You can debate forever which is worse.

281
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 2: Josh Howley, Senator from Missouri, he's obtained emails that show

282
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: that quote. The Biden administration ordered them to fill up

283
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 2: planes with Afghan refugees even without vetting them. Lemme Interjeck.

284
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 2: You'll recall that the whole Biden bug out of Afghanistan

285
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 2: from Afghanistan was unbelievably rushed. We left all of our

286
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 2: weapons out back there. Who knows which people we left

287
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 2: behind that should have gotten out, so who they were

288
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 2: getting throwing them onto planes. There was nothing organized about

289
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 2: this at all. Everything about Operation bug Out from Biden

290
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,719
Speaker 2: has turned out to be a nightmare, and for no reason.

291
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 2: We're in Afghanistan for ten years. We didn't need to

292
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 2: get out in ten minutes. We could have gotten out correctly,

293
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 2: except the president was seen now that his administration was

294
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 2: run by radicals who didn't give a crap what happened.

295
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 2: They didn't give a crap what happened in Afghanistan, and

296
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 2: they didn't give a crap, But what would happen in

297
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 2: the United States? Back to the relations. Troops on the

298
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 2: ground said they were shocked by Biden's failure to vent

299
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:18,959
Speaker 2: these Afghans before bringing them into our country. As I mentioned,

300
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 2: Trump is now put a temporary halt on all immigration

301
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 2: proceedings from Afghanistan. We must now re examine every single

302
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 2: alien who's entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden, and

303
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 2: we must take all necessary measures to ensure the removal

304
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 2: of any alien from any country who does not belong

305
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 2: here or add benefit to our country. For several years now,

306
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 2: Republican lawmakers have been warning of security risks of Biden

307
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 2: era Afghan resettlement programs like the one that was used

308
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 2: by the National Guard shooter. He went through a resettlement

309
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 2: program in a sane country. That resettlement program would include

310
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 2: civics lessons, teachings about the United States, teaching about the

311
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: essential goodness of a country that was giving him refuge

312
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 2: so he could get out of the god forsaken hell

313
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 2: hole that he was living in. Instead what went on there?

314
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: Who gets these contracts? If indeed Christinoma's right, and this

315
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 2: guy came over here and he wasn't all that bad

316
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 2: and he turned into this Who did all that? Elisa Slotkin,

317
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 2: United States senator Democrat. A week ago Sunday, eight days ago,

318
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 2: she went on TV and said National guardsmen were going

319
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 2: to start shooting at American citizens. That's what she said.

320
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 2: This is before the attack in Washington. Slotkin said the

321
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 2: National Guard was going to shoot an American citizens. This

322
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: is the rhetoric you're getting from democratic politicians. Several days later,

323
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 2: a National guardsman is shot at. Now, let's imagine that

324
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 2: you're not one of these unhinged lefties that'll just say anything,

325
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 2: say anything. Trump's issuing illegal orders, The National Guard is

326
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: going to go into these cities and kill Americans. Let's

327
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 2: say you're just saying that, and you know it's crap,

328
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 2: but you're saying it for a purpose. You don't think

329
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 2: anybody might believe you. Look how dumb so many many

330
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 2: people left of center in this country are, and look

331
00:27:54,920 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 2: at how easily prone to radicalism. Some Muslims eye, that's

332
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: not new, and it's not an indictment of all Muslims.

333
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 2: I'm referring to those that are radicalized and refuse to

334
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 2: accept living in a multicultural, multi religious society. And the

335
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 2: fact of the matter is set many Muslims simply do

336
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 2: not accept living in that kind of society. Those that

337
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 2: do aren't much of a problem. Those that don't have

338
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 2: a problem. So you fuel this and then something like

339
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 2: this happens and you keep fueling it. That must mean

340
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 2: you want it to happen, or you wouldn't keep fueling it.

341
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,959
Speaker 2: Alyssa socking National Guard is going to go into these

342
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 2: cities and they're gonna be shooting American citizens. Two guardsmen

343
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 2: have now been wounded after being shot on the streets

344
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 2: of DC. Imagine you're somebody who believed the LISSI Slacken

345
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 2: and what was going on in the heads of this

346
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 2: lockenwall guy, again, probably a lot of things, but he

347
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 2: will if you believed the list of slocked that these

348
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 2: guards when they're going to be shooting Americans, maybe he

349
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 2: felt that he had a duty to go kill them.

350
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 2: You can try to disconnect these things all you want,

351
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 2: but if you do, you're ignoring a terrifying reality. I'm

352
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 2: going to change the subject. One of my favorite topics is.

353
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 2: First of all, there aren't many things that make old

354
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 2: farts feel superior. I mean, after all, we're old farts.

355
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 2: Well we are you Well you say for yourself, you're

356
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: more decrepit than I am. Yeah, I mean you are

357
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 2: more decrepit than me. You shake your head and deny

358
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 2: being more decrepit than me. You just refuse to accept

359
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 2: the downside of your old fartedness. That's just all over

360
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: the evidence of which is all over the place. There

361
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 2: isn't a lot of opportunity for old farts to feel superior,

362
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 2: but there are some. For instance, most of us know

363
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 2: how to do math. This column appears by Alyssa Finleiots

364
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 2: in the Wall Street Journal today and this podcast is

365
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 2: being released on Monday. Now, this is one of those

366
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 2: things in which everybody knows why it's going on. I'm

367
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 2: going to report what it is that she's saying is

368
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 2: going on, and inner column she kind of alludes to

369
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 2: the rationalization and the defense of the fact that it's

370
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 2: going on. She writes, kids in elementary school learn or

371
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 2: are supposed to learn, how to add fractions and round numbers.

372
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 2: By the way, that's one of those things that every

373
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 2: kid when I was a kid learned. I'm sure quite

374
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 2: a few have forgotten because they've never really had to

375
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 2: do it. And this is going to be the defense

376
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: from all of the people now who don't know how

377
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 2: to do Why will I ever need to do it?

378
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,479
Speaker 2: I'll get to that in a moment. There were all

379
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 2: these things about what grade you're supposed to learn something by,

380
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 2: and I'm actually pretty good at remembering what year they

381
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 2: taught us what stuff in grade school. For a lot

382
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 2: of people, it all blends together. I think fractions were

383
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 2: the fourth grade. It might have been earlier, but I

384
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 2: think I'm not exactly positive. Rounding numbers, I don't know

385
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 2: second grade third grade numbers ninety seven, round it up

386
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 2: to the nearest head second third grade you learned that

387
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 2: would be one hundred and not down to ninety because

388
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: the seven is closer to the one hundred than the

389
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 2: other way around. I don't know. Anyway, back to her column,

390
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 2: kids in elementary school learned or supposed to learn how

391
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 2: to add fractions in round numbers. I get the round

392
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 2: number thing adding fractions. I can get why some people

393
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 2: nomber you got to take the get a common denominator

394
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 2: and added up at the bottom and then so on.

395
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: But the rounding numbers, I honestly thought everybody who want

396
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 2: to do that? Paul said, they asked her to drive through,

397
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 2: do you have to round up? What if they didn't

398
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 2: say up? What if they just said round And in

399
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: the case of round, that would normally mean up if

400
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 2: it's over fifty, and down if it's below fifty. But

401
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 2: they say round up, so that means I guess people

402
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: would kind of figure out what that would be. And

403
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 2: the reason that they say round up is that would

404
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 2: mean that they would take three eleven and turn it

405
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 2: to four rather than roud it. But again, it's just

406
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 2: something you just kind of thought everybody knew, because that

407
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 2: actually doesn't even require a skill. Five is half between

408
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 2: zero and ten. You know, fifty one is above forty

409
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 2: nine is below fifties on the dot, what do you

410
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 2: do with fifty? It's well, no, how do you're rounded?

411
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 2: There's probably any answer to that. I think fifty is rounded.

412
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 2: I think fifty is rounded up, right than rounded. Doubt anyway,

413
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 2: Apparently this is something that we teach in elementary school.

414
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 2: Getting back to the piece, but many students at the

415
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 2: University of California, San Diego by the way, that's actually

416
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,959
Speaker 2: considered to be a pretty good school. A top public

417
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 2: university ranks six nationally by US News and World Report

418
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 2: can't do either. According to a new analysis from the university.

419
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 2: So this is from the university itself. University of California,

420
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 2: San Diego says most of their students when they come

421
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 2: in can't do that read and weep for the future

422
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 2: of America. Roughly one in eight freshmen lack This is

423
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 2: freshman in college lack rudimentary high school math skills, defined

424
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 2: as geometry, algebra, and algebra two. It gets worse. Students

425
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 2: who had been placed in a remedial high school math

426
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 2: class in twenty twenty three had roughly fifth grade level abilities.

427
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 2: Only thirty nine percent could correctly round the number three

428
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 2: hundred seventy four thousand, five hundred and eighteen to the

429
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 2: nearest hundred That would be three hundred and seventy four thousand,

430
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 2: five hundred because the nearest hundred would be five hundred,

431
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 2: because the eighteen comes after that, only thirty nine percent

432
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 2: could do that. They're in freshmen in college because so

433
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 2: many incoming students were numerically illiterate. The university added a

434
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 2: remedial class for middle and elementary school math. Think about this.

435
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 2: This is a major amrket University University of California, San Diego.

436
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 2: They're adding a remedial elementary class for college for elementary

437
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 2: math class for college freshmen. These are the freshmen who

438
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: are actually going to college. Back to the piece, Remarkably,

439
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 2: among students placed into that math course, ninety four percent

440
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 2: had completed an advanced math class in high school. So

441
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 2: all that's because a lot of kids don't take any math.

442
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 2: You know, math is often an optional course. You may

443
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 2: require one year on math in high school. They said,

444
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 2: most of these students actually took an advanced math class.

445
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 2: Is this an indictment of A? The University of California's

446
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 2: admissions B public K through twelve schools, c US News

447
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 2: and World Reports, college rankings, or D all of the above.

448
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 2: If you chose D, you're correct. Start with A. The

449
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,959
Speaker 2: UC Board of Regents in twenty twenty scrapped standardized tests

450
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 2: as an admissions requirement under the guise of promoting equity.

451
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 2: The likely real reason Blacks and Hispanic students score lower

452
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 2: on average on the SAT, requiring applicants to submit standard

453
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 2: test scores could also make it easier for critics to

454
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 2: prove the university is proving racial preferences, which were prohibited

455
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 2: by a nineteen ninety six voter referendum. The Math Proficiency

456
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 2: analysis suggests it may be doing so on the sly

457
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 2: amid a push to boost diversity and overall enrollment and

458
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 2: thus rake in more government aid. You see, San Diego

459
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 2: admitted increasing numbers of unqualified applicants from low income high schools.

460
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 2: In order to holistically admit a diverse and representative class,

461
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 2: we need to admit students who may be at a

462
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 2: higher risk of not succeeding. The report says this hit.

463
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 2: By the way, what you've just heard here was the

464
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 2: defense of all THEI back to the piece. This has

465
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 2: done a grave disservice to ill prepared students. Not let

466
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 2: me pause. This is where she's right. And I've been

467
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 2: arguing this point forever. Promoting somebody to anything for which

468
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 2: they are not qualified is not doing them a favor.

469
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 2: If I had some cloud or in or pull, and

470
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 2: I was able to be sent to Harvard when I

471
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 2: came out of high schoolhold have been out of favor.

472
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 2: I wasn't the greatest student in the world. I probably

473
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 2: would have bombed out at Harvard. There's a reason God

474
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 2: created UW Lacrosse. It was for people like me. Giving

475
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 2: someone something for which they are not qualified merely guarantees

476
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 2: that they will fail at that thing. What favor have

477
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 2: they done? Have you done them? And what good comes

478
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 2: out of it? This is not only an indictment of

479
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 2: college admissions, it's an indictment of pushing too many kids

480
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 2: toward college. No. I'll make the point that some of

481
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 2: these mass kills would be things that would be required

482
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 2: of almost any functioning person, including a whole lot of

483
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 2: jobs that wouldn't wire college education. But let's move forward here.

484
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 2: This has done a grave disservice to ill prepared students,

485
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 2: who take longer to complete degrees and thus accrew more

486
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 2: debt and drop out of more rigorous majors. Few, if

487
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 2: any students who take remedial maths successfully complete and engineering degree.

488
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 2: The report notes, what a surprise. If they have to

489
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: put them in a remedial this and remedial that, chances

490
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,919
Speaker 2: are they're not going to graduate from anything that's tough

491
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 2: after all, because they shouldn't have been in college of

492
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 2: the first list, because they didn't learn enough before they

493
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 2: got to college, which gets back to the problem of

494
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 2: the K through twelve. Why haven't they learned enough? The

495
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 2: university's admissions place a heavy emphasis on GPAs. You maybe

496
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 2: call my the segment that I did last week that

497
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 2: more than half the kids at Arbor get a's. Will

498
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 2: you think the same thing isn't going on in high school.

499
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 2: So they're giving heavy credence to GPAs, but those don't

500
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 2: reflect student preparation because grades are inflated. I'll also point

501
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 2: out that some public schools, and some private schools for

502
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 2: that matter, give a lot of easyas, So therefore the

503
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 2: GPA of a kid that goes to a cake softy

504
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 2: school may be inflated in comparison to a kid that

505
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 2: went to a school that had properly rigorous deadards. Back

506
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 2: to Finley's column, some students may also cheat their way

507
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 2: to high grades. Smartphones in AI have made it easier

508
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 2: to do so. At the same time, scores on AP

509
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 2: tests have become less dependent marker of merit. That's because

510
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 2: the college board has made the exams easier to pass

511
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 2: to encourage more students to take them and thus rake

512
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 2: in more money from testing fees. The share of students

513
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 2: passing AP exams has soared over the last two decades.

514
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 2: They want this. Every study that we have would indicate

515
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: that over the last two decades, standardized test scores have

516
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 2: gotten worse, Yet the ability to get into advanced placement

517
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 2: courses has gotten easier. To get into advanced placement, they

518
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 2: test you and yeah, okay, you get to go into

519
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 2: the AP course Advanced placement. More kids are getting into them,

520
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 2: even as the standardized scores are plas again lower the

521
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 2: standards to get more people into something. You're deluding people

522
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 2: into thinking that we have a society of higher achievers.

523
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 2: You're deluding people who are not high achievers into thinking

524
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 2: that they are, and nothing good comes of any of it,

525
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 2: including the person who has given this delusion, who wonders

526
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 2: all along after they get out of college why they

527
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 2: can't find a job and are out there driving for

528
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 2: door dash because they were given a false impression of

529
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 2: how smart they are. Finley call it vanity grading. Mediocre

530
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 2: students now graduate with top GPAs and AP scores, which

531
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 2: makes their parents feel better about their kids' public school

532
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 2: and ease political pressures for education reform. Ah, that's a

533
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 2: key tell a pat that your kid is doing well.

534
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 2: They'd rather hear that their kid who isn't doing well

535
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 2: is doing well than be told the truth your kid

536
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 2: isn't doing well. On to answer B, the report says

537
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 2: students have been under served by their prior schooling. No kidding.

538
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 2: Only twenty two percent of prof graders scored proficient in

539
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 2: math on the National Assessment of Educational Progress last year,

540
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 2: the lowest on record. Think of that twenty two percent

541
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 2: of twelfth graders high school singers granted proficient. Proficient doesn't

542
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 2: mean excel. Proficient means are you are very good at

543
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:25,240
Speaker 2: that skill? Twenty two percent the lowest ever, lowest ever

544
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 2: when U see San Diego remedial math tutor observed that

545
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 2: some teachers would teach life skills in high school math

546
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 2: class just using calculators, the internet, and prescribed formulas. Classes

547
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 2: didn't teach mathematical thinking. Let me interject, I buy that too.

548
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 2: Part of the reason for this A lot of high

549
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 2: school math teachers are dopes. Many are not, but a

550
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 2: lot are dopes and are no good at themselves, and

551
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: they don't want to do much teaching, so they get

552
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 2: into whole math just like we had whole rating and

553
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 2: understand the concept and use the calculator that the master

554
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 2: the skill, and it's a lot easier than teaching things

555
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 2: that are hard for these dummy kids that are in

556
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 2: there to actually learn. So the job is now easier

557
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 2: for the hack teacher. One problem is union contracts protect

558
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 2: lousy and lazy teachers, no kidding how long I've I

559
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: been argued from that and prevent talented, hard working ones

560
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 2: from being rewarded with higher pay. Meanwhile, some of the

561
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 2: profession's best teachers, highly capable women who entered the profession

562
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 2: when their sex had fewer career options, have been retiring.

563
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 2: Many of their replacements are lacking. Teacher credential programs typically

564
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 2: require only a C plus average in undergrad. With the

565
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 2: pervasive great inflation in college, many young teachers made themselves

566
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 2: own they have fifth grade mass kills. Say you only

567
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,439
Speaker 2: need a C plus average in undergrad to get into

568
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 2: the teaching profession, and give her the fact that almost

569
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 2: nobody gets C plus. That means everybody. So how many

570
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 2: of these people that are going into teaching are themselves

571
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 2: not profession answer c Many parents mistakenly consider the US

572
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 2: News and World Reports rankings as a proxy of colleges prestige,

573
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 2: But the rankings don't reflect the caliber of students the

574
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 2: college admits, nor graduate outcomes that matter. The rankings don't

575
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 2: factor in students standardized test scores for colleges like the

576
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 2: UCS that don't require them. Graduation and retention rates make

577
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 2: up by far the biggest weight in the rankings. Stay

578
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 2: with this graduation rates and retention rates. So in other words,

579
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 2: the more students that graduate from the college, the more

580
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 2: prestigious the college is. Should it be the opposite. The incentive, therefore,

581
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 2: is for the colleges that pass everybody and get them

582
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 2: all to their four year degrees, even the ones that

583
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 2: should have flamed out in the process. She concludes the column,

584
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 2: the sum of all of this is a tragedy of

585
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 2: the educational of the education commons. Institutions acting in their

586
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 2: own interests, are debasing America's pool of young human capital.

587
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 2: Heaven help us, Solissa Finley on the Wall Street Journal today.

588
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 2: Now my thought of this, one of the retorts that

589
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 2: you'll get is, well, now that we have calculators in

590
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 2: AI that can add up the fractions and around the numbers,

591
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 2: from me, why do I have to know how to

592
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 2: do it. It's a fair enough question. There are any

593
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 2: number of things that human beings had to do themselves

594
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 2: that a machine can now do, and therefore the human

595
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 2: being doesn't know how to do it. As an example,

596
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 2: you really don't have to be any good at shoveling

597
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 2: snow anymore, do you. No, you can get a snowblore.

598
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 2: Just talking to somebody yesterday who said he was shoveling snow,

599
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 2: the obvious retort was, why why don't you get a snowblower. No,

600
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 2: this guy didn't have a snowblower. I mean he didn't

601
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 2: have a snowblower. This is the whole boy, why don't

602
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 2: you have a snowblower? And then there's the whole Well,

603
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 2: there's some things that maybe you'd be my best entry,

604
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,439
Speaker 2: and of course, of course that's true until you break

605
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,760
Speaker 2: your back, you keel over a heart attack, which happens

606
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 2: all the time we have the kind of wet, heavy

607
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 2: snow that we had over the weekend. Anyway, you get

608
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 2: the point, though. If you have a snowblower, you don't

609
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 2: have to shovel snow. If you have a calculator, you

610
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 2: don't have to know how to add fractions and some

611
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 2: people will make the point that all of this becomes irrelevant.

612
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 2: Add they're going to probably use the whole AI thing.

613
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 2: Since AI can answer all your questions, why do you

614
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 2: need to know anything? I'm here armed with the answer.

615
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 2: I contend based on an entire lifetime of applying the

616
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:03,839
Speaker 2: skills that I have that knowing the skill makes it

617
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 2: easier to understand what you're doing. I talk all the

618
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 2: time about when you get to a really big number.

619
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 2: People when they hear the number million and billion, they

620
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 2: think the two numbers are the same. Once you get

621
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 2: so many zeros, they can't comprehend her. What's going on?

622
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:23,879
Speaker 2: What if that happens with all numbers? If you don't

623
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 2: know how to do fractions. If you see a bunch

624
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 2: of things that are fractional in life, do you really

625
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 2: then know how many of them they would add up to?

626
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 2: Unless you have the ability to actually hand out a

627
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 2: do it? You know, you analyze the horse race, you

628
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 2: got to go through ninety seven million different things. Or

629
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 2: you can use AI, which is out there and a

630
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 2: lot of these AI operations. Pick the horse. You can

631
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 2: just do that and bet the horse. You can do

632
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,080
Speaker 2: that and maybe do better than you'd be doing and

633
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 2: if you're out there on your own, but you will

634
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 2: not have learned anything about why horses are going to

635
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 2: be better than others and he's going to be better,

636
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 2: because unless you go through that actual process, you have

637
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:16,760
Speaker 2: no feel for anything. If you don't, it's certainly true

638
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 2: that you can know about things without knowing how to

639
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 2: do them. I know the horsepower and a lot of cars,

640
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 2: but I have absolutely no idea how to tear apart

641
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 2: an engine, not as anybody else any where. You can't

642
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 2: even get the plastic cupboards over at the top of

643
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 2: You go to the automiacatic and they just all they

644
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 2: do is they slap the computer on there to tell

645
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 2: them what's going on. Nonetheless, the more you know how

646
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 2: something works, the better grasp you will have of it.

647
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 2: The same is true of all other subjects. Look at

648
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,280
Speaker 2: the number of people who simply don't know anything about

649
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 2: American history. They don't know what led the founders to

650
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 2: come to the United States. They certainly have a skewed

651
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 2: view of the Civil War and the period of self.

652
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,879
Speaker 2: They don't know any of these things. And because they

653
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 2: don't know any of the specifics, they were all just

654
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,720
Speaker 2: google the answer I'll just have AI tell me the answer.

655
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 2: They have no actual understanding of it. You know, a

656
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 2: lot of the kids that are homeschooled, they know how

657
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 2: to do all of these things because most of the

658
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,760
Speaker 2: parents that are homeschooling are teaching their kids these individual skills.

659
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 2: I suspect one of the reasons that many of them

660
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,280
Speaker 2: homeschool is they want to keep their kids away from

661
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 2: the lousy organized schools that don't do these things. And

662
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 2: now this story. Ruben Diego, as a centator from Arizona,

663
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 2: was elected as a halfway moderate. Somebody leaked some texts

664
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 2: that he put out. He said, some people thought they

665
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 2: were friends of mine. They leaked. In other words, he

666
00:48:54,680 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 2: texted some things that are embarrassing. First of all, don't

667
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 2: trust anybody. Well I texted this. Who know, if you're

668
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 2: anybody that'said anything, don't put it on social media. Don't

669
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 2: text it if you're not willing to stand by it anyway.

670
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 2: This is one of those instances of gayegoh, he's a

671
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 2: Democrat texting something that clearly is true, but very embarrassing,

672
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 2: particularly if you are a Democrat. You hear about what

673
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 2: he texted. Well, that's my point that you haven't heard

674
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 2: about it. Imagine if what you hear the following. Imagine

675
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 2: if what you're about to hear from me. JD. Vance texted,

676
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 2: and you'll recall the keat that he got for the

677
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 2: benign comment about the Democratic catwomen, the little catwomen in

678
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party. I get a statement that I think

679
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 2: was essentially true. Right, yeah, well women have four more cats.

680
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 2: Who do you think they disproportioned to they went for

681
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 2: Harris or Trump? Well, you say, of course, I think

682
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 2: Vance's statement about these cats. Again, some people who have

683
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 2: a lot of cats, they may have voted for Trump.

684
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,240
Speaker 2: I just think the majority of them did not. Anyway,

685
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 2: here's Reuben Diego's comment. Dem women look like DEM men

686
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 2: and DEM men look like women. He's a Democratic center.

687
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 2: He said, the Democratic women look like Democratic men, and

688
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 2: the Democratic men they just look like women. Does he say?

689
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 2: I just think that there's an extraordinary martyr truth to this,

690
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 2: But it's kind of embarrassing that he said it. Jonathan Turley,

691
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 2: George Washington law commentator on Fox and many other places,

692
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 2: as his own blog, points out that almost no media

693
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 2: outlets are covering this story, despite the fact that the

694
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 2: fire more inflammatory comments by jd Vance were plastered everywhere.

695
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 2: He writes, it is not a lack of self awareness.

696
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,399
Speaker 2: Let me pausing, give me some setup. He's focusing here

697
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 2: on why the media is not reporting these statements, gegos

698
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 2: that I suspect most media and the people in the

699
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 2: media actually are offended by because this is like, you know,

700
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 2: it's making fun of democrats. So why is the media

701
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 2: not reporting it? And Turley's point here is that the

702
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 2: media is deliberately not reporting it. Here's his analysis. It

703
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 2: is not a lack of self awareness. Many in the

704
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 2: media are fully aware of the different treatment afforded those

705
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 2: on the left and the right in such controversies. Let

706
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:44,280
Speaker 2: me pause. So Turley saying the media knows the media

707
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,760
Speaker 2: is doing a double standard. Many people in the media

708
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 2: know they hammer someone on the right for something that

709
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 2: they're going to give a pass to for someone on

710
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 2: the left. So he's saying that this notion of well,

711
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,720
Speaker 2: they just don't see their own biases. It's crap. Many

712
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,959
Speaker 2: know exactly what they're doing with these double standards. Early

713
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 2: as are good. This is not a call for outrage,

714
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 2: but rather the selective outrage continues. Despite falling trust in

715
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 2: the media. Now here's my point. One of the great

716
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 2: questions that I used to get all the time. I

717
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 2: don't get it as much anymore. Why does the media

718
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 2: keep biasing itself to the left As the media, mainstream

719
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 2: media continues to die, why don't they just stop to

720
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 2: save themselves. Now you've seen some of the owners. You know,

721
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 2: CBS has been bought, David Ellison put in Barry Weis

722
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 2: to run CBS News. They're going to try to straighten

723
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 2: things around for self survival. Bezos is trying to redirect

724
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 2: the bias out of the Washington Post. Get that to

725
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 2: the level of ownership. But what about the actual people

726
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 2: in the media. Media is dying. Mainstream media is dying.

727
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 2: Let's imagine you're one of the grunts that's in it.

728
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:59,359
Speaker 2: I have a brilliant analogy. Otherwise, if I didn't think

729
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 2: it was, I mean, I'll go with stuff that isn't brilliant.

730
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:03,799
Speaker 2: But if I have something that's brilliant, I may as

731
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 2: well tell you that it's brilliant. Let's say again, I'm

732
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 2: giving you the setup. You're a regular person in the media,

733
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 2: not in owner or anything. You're just one of these grunts.

734
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 2: You're somebody who saw Gayegos's comment and decided, Okay, I'm

735
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 2: not going to put it on the wires. I'm not

736
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 2: going to do anything about it. You saw Vance's comment

737
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 2: and you got went into an orgasm. You were so

738
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 2: excited to plaster it out there. You're just one of

739
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 2: these grunts at that level. Okay, But you're also ceiling

740
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 2: that you're driving away everyone from the center o right

741
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 2: away from your news organizations. You're all going out of business.

742
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 2: You're laying off reporter's like crazy. You're a subscriber based.

743
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 2: If you're a newspaper's done and nothing. If you're the

744
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 2: ten o'clock news, you you have almost no viewers left,

745
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 2: et cetera. Why don't you stop doing these things that

746
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 2: are driving people away? All right? You want my analogy,

747
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,399
Speaker 2: Let's imagine you know somebody, how old are you? Eighty

748
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 2: two fifty nine? All right, that's a perfect age for this.

749
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 2: They're coughing all the time, seem to have lost weight,

750
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 2: and they're still smoking two packs a day. They clearly

751
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 2: know it's bad for him, right, Why don't they stop?

752
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 2: Dah same thing? They know it's bad for them. They're hooked.

753
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 2: They're hooked on their own leftist bias. They don't want

754
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 2: to They enjoy biasing the news. They don't want to stop.

755
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:35,720
Speaker 2: They're addicted to it, even if it challenges their long

756
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 2: term survival. Oh that's brilliant, you see, you you should be.

757
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 2: You are not showing sufficient gratitude for being in the

758
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 2: presence of an absolute genius like me. I admit, I

759
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 2: admit that when I I crow, I could be nauseating.

760
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 2: Don't you think that's sort of amusing to be? I mean,

761
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 2: if you're going to overstate something, why you know, why

762
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 2: just be a little about it. But from a more

763
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 2: legitimate standpoint, If I'm not going to brag about how

764
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 2: smart I am, who's gonna do that fragging? I'm out accounting?

765
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 2: You running around and go home and tell your wife

766
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 2: you won't believe how brilliant Mark was today. Are you

767
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:19,240
Speaker 2: gonna do that? No? And here you are. So therefore

768
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 2: I need to point out to people and underline how brilliant,

769
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 2: the brilliant thea. The point was, it is clear lay

770
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 2: time to take a break on the Mark Belling podcast.

771
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 2: This is the Mark Belling podcast. Wisconsin Right Now conservative

772
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:46,799
Speaker 2: website did some reporting last week in the fallout of

773
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:52,840
Speaker 2: the Morgan Geyser case. We discussed this to some extent

774
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 2: last week. They're just a lot of areas to focus on.

775
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 2: I've got a newspaper column coming out later in the

776
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:02,240
Speaker 2: weekend which I'm going to focus on a different area

777
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 2: than this, and that is the disservice that has been

778
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 2: done to Morgan Geyser and my contention that she's a

779
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 2: victim too, and that's I think something that needs to

780
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 2: be focused on the atrocious level of mental health services

781
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 2: that she's been getting and how, rather than talking her

782
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 2: out of her delusions or delusions, have been reinforced. But

783
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 2: there's also this the unbelievably I won't even say inept,

784
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 2: I'll say apathetic. I'm carrying an apathetic response here and

785
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 2: handling of it by Tony Evers's Department of Corrections. Had

786
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 2: this happened under a Republican administration, all hell would have

787
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 2: broken loose, and it would have broken loose from the

788
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 2: Republican governor, the Republican president, or whatever it would have been,

789
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 2: because no Republican leader would tolerate the level of incompetence

790
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 2: that you see here. Instead, there isn't that reaction, and

791
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 2: Tony Evers doesn't can anybody for doing anything. Peyton Lutner

792
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:09,400
Speaker 2: is the now young woman who was stabbed decade ago

793
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 2: by Geyser and her court of defendant Wire. Peyton Lutner

794
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 2: was not notified and killed twelve hours after Morgan Geyser

795
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 2: busted out. We know that Morgan is still all screwed up.

796
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 2: There is no reason to have confidence, one way or

797
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 2: another that Morgan isn't so screwed up that she wasn't

798
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 2: gonna go and get that girl that caused these problems

799
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 2: in the first place to work. What would make you

800
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 2: think she still doesn't think that slender Man wants her

801
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 2: to kill Peyton Lutner. Maybe she does, Maybe she does it,

802
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 2: but no one would have any way of knowing that

803
00:57:54,800 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 2: if someone who tried to kill you any level is released,

804
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 2: you notify them. It's done all the time in any instance,

805
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 2: when people are paroleed or released after the term and

806
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:16,440
Speaker 2: so on. In this case, she's still under the control

807
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 2: of the Department of Corrections. She's had a controlled release

808
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 2: in a halfway house. Nobody told her. Doc took forever

809
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 2: to tell the Madison police, and the Madison police took

810
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 2: forever to tell anybody else. Wisconsin right now points out

811
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 2: that Peyton Lutner found out when the Waukeshaw Connie Die's

812
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 2: office told them, and they did this only immediately after

813
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 2: they were notified by the twelve hours later. This is

814
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 2: a metaphor for the way Morgan I think has been

815
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 2: treated all along, not seriously. I don't think she was

816
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 2: given serious mental health treatment at any point, because if

817
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 2: she did, she wouldn't still be so messed up. Secondly,

818
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 2: she's in a halfway house. We now hear the people

819
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 2: who are in the halfway house with her, unless she

820
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 2: volunteered at herself, did not know what she did. How

821
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 2: many other people in the halfway house have released attempted murderers,

822
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 2: I don't know. My guess is that most of them

823
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 2: are not. People live on the blocks say they were

824
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 2: terrified to know that you had somebody who tried to

825
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 2: kill somebody living in the halfways. But the way whenever

826
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 2: you put a halfway house in, they always talk about

827
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 2: how safe and nice all of the people in the

828
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 2: halfway house are going to be. They never ever, yeah,

829
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna have somebody who's murderers are going to be

830
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 2: in here. Attempted murderers et cetera. So here she busts out.

831
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 2: There's a reason why she was in a halfway house

832
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 2: and not released entirely into the streets on her own.

833
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 2: So she busts out of the halfway house, which in

834
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 2: and of itself is a red flag. She doesn't want

835
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 2: to be in the halfway house. She's out there. She

836
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 2: clearly isn't still she clearly still isn't following the rules.

837
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 2: I mean, here's just certain things that you assume would

838
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 2: happen because you assume that there's common sense, and clearly

839
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 2: when lefties are running things, there is it. You've got

840
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:07,919
Speaker 2: an attempted murderer in a halfway house penning their release.

841
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 2: They bust out of that. You kind of think, okay,

842
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 2: they're not here. You are a media to contact you.

843
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 2: I mean, look at all the times my phone goes

844
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 2: off because there's an amber alert up by, like Lake Superior.

845
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 2: It's an exaggeration, but I mean, the phone goes off

846
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 2: all the time. It goes off a lot more in Florida.

847
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's because more people disappear in Florida,

848
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 2: if my county is more populous in Florida, I don't

849
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 2: know the answer. Did that. How often is your phone

850
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 2: go off? It doesn't seem to go off as much

851
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 2: as any It went off a lot this summer, don't

852
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:37,760
Speaker 2: you think? No more than normal. You don't pay any

853
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 2: attention to things. I mean, there are just a lot

854
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 2: of them. I mean then the you know, the thing is,

855
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 2: I know, silence my phone on anything. So I never

856
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 2: heard the phone ringing or anything. Everything silence and so on.

857
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 2: But you need to like super silence it to stop

858
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 2: those alerts from going off. The point that I make

859
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 2: is there was nothing like that. There wasn't even regular

860
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 2: notification for twelve hours to this day. We don't know

861
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 2: if Morgan's dangerous. I don't know if she's dangerous. I

862
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 2: watched the police bodycam video and pose in Illinois. She

863
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 2: seemed like a completely screwed up, shy misfit of a

864
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 2: young woman, completely screwed up, still delusional, unhappy, sad. Does

865
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 2: she still have violence in her I don't know. I

866
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 2: think anybody does, which is why any proper overseeing of

867
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 2: her would act with caution if she released. So what's

868
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:53,640
Speaker 2: happened since then? How many people has Tony Evers fired? None? None?

869
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 2: I haven't seen a media story where anybody stuck a

870
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 2: mic in the face of Evers's doc secretary or for

871
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 2: that matter, Evers ask it about none. None, Leslie Bazie,

872
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 2: the Waukeshaw County District Attorney. No one did contact them,

873
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 2: referring to Peyton and her family. I would have expected

874
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 2: the Department of Health Services would have contacted them to

875
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 2: let them know. I was informed yesterday morning, that was

876
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 2: Sunday of last week about Ms. Guiser's escaping from her placement.

877
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 2: She said. Bazie's office victim Witness coordinator immediately contacted the

878
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 2: victim and her family to make sure that they knew

879
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 2: about it. They didn't know anything about it. We wanted

880
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 2: to make sure they were safe and had a plan

881
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 2: in place. Now, whenever somebody is released after doing something bad,

882
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 2: you know, we've had, for instance, people have made threats

883
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 2: against prosecutors. They're released and they have to take action.

884
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 2: I mean, some people, a lot of people don't get

885
01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 2: life prison sentences for bad things that they do, and

886
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 2: they may have been a victim. Let's imagine you're somebody

887
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 2: who was a witness against somebody. When they're convicted, they

888
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:07,439
Speaker 2: serve ten years in prison. Were they sitting those whole

889
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 2: ten years saying the first thing I'm gonna do is

890
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:11,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to kill the person or routed me out. Again,

891
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 2: we don't know, which is why you would think that

892
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 2: there would be notification of people so that they would

893
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 2: at least have an awareness level to be prepared for

894
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 2: something like this. I want to cover another story here

895
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 2: in brief. This is the story that again has gotten

896
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 2: scant attention in the media. The State Supreme Court is

897
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 2: now addressing the issue of the congressional districts in Wisconsin.

898
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 2: This is separate from the state legislative districts that were

899
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 2: redrawn now to bias the demok in favor of the Democrats.

900
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 2: The congressional districts were not changed. The State Supreme Court

901
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 2: has appointed a panel of judges to essentially redo the

902
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 2: congressional districts. All seven judges on the panel are Democrats. Now,

903
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 2: judges don't run for office on the basis of political affiliation,

904
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 2: but according to Wisconsin Right Now, every one of the

905
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 2: judges prior to becoming a judge was an activist Democrat.

906
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 2: The vote was five to two. Haggit Or joined the

907
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 2: lefties on the Supreme Court and put it together. This panel.

908
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 2: Here's the list. Julie Geneviez Dane County Judge. By the way,

909
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 2: she's a Dane County judge. That means she's a Lefty.

910
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 2: There are no exceptions to that. But for those of

911
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 2: you who not bought by that, she was a law

912
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 2: clerk for former State Supreme Court Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson.

913
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 2: She's endorsed liberal justices. Then you have Judge Emily Lanergan

914
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 2: Otagamy County. That's Appleton. She was a Tony Evers appointee,

915
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 2: former criminal defense attorney. She's been a donor to Democratic campaigns.

916
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 2: Judge number three on the Redistrict Committee, Judge Mark sand Is,

917
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 2: Milwaukee County, Democratic campaign donor endorsed by liberals. Four Judge

918
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:59,200
Speaker 2: David Conway, another judge from Dane County, Tony Evers appointee,

919
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 2: Liberal campaign owner. He prejudged the congressional map case in

920
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 2: writing he's already written a piece saying that the congressional

921
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 2: maps are not properly biased, in fear of them are

922
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 2: too biased for the Republicans. Five Judge Patricia Baker, Portage County.

923
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 2: That's like Steven's point pointed by Tony Evers endorsed by Democrats. Boy,

924
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 2: we haven't seen one Walker appointee on here on this list.

925
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 2: Six Judge Michael Moran, Marathon County, former Democratic Party county

926
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 2: chair and public defender. So there's your panel. So we

927
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 2: know what the districts are going to do. They're going

928
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 2: to redraw the districts in Wisconsin to pop out and

929
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 2: create two more Democratic seats. What this is an example

930
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 2: of and I can't think of a more clear way

931
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 2: to say it than to say it exactly like this.

932
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:53,720
Speaker 2: Judges stopped the Republicans in Texas from redrawing their districts

933
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 2: to favor the Republicans. In Wisconsin, judges are going to

934
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 2: redraw the districts to favor the Democrats. So you have

935
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 2: one set of judges saying Trump can't do what another

936
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 2: set of judges actually will do themselves. There are no

937
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 2: standards of law or fairness that anyone on the left

938
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 2: is going to apply anymore on all levels. The redistricting thing,

939
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 2: especially because that's pure power. Jerrymandering districts to benefit the

940
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:30,560
Speaker 2: Democrats will be allowed. Jerrymandering districts to benefit the Republicans

941
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 2: will not be allowed. The only loser in this is

942
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 2: going to be Gwen Moore. She's the beneficiary of the

943
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:47,959
Speaker 2: current pro Republican jerrymandering of districts because they packed all

944
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 2: the Democratic areas of Milwaukee County into one district. Gwen

945
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 2: Moore will never lose election by redrawing these districts. What

946
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 2: they'll do is they'll pull out all these Democratic areas

947
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 2: of Milwaukee and throw them in two district's currently Republican

948
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 2: to try to make them fifty two to forty eight

949
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 2: Democrat rather than fifty eight to forty two Republican. This

950
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 2: means that Gwen Moore's district has gone, so the Democrats

951
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:12,960
Speaker 2: may pick up three seats, but the district that she's

952
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 2: had that's been overwhelmingly Democrat may well simply be carved

953
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 2: up into nothingness. As Milwaukee is distributed throughout of all

954
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 2: of southeastern Wisconsin. Put enough Milwaukee here, enough Milwaukee, they're

955
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 2: enough Milwaukee in the other place to flip two or

956
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 2: three districts that right now are more Republican over to

957
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 2: the Democratic side, which is one of the By the way,

958
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 2: Pokan is the other one. He represents the Madison area.

959
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 2: They take that district and they take every area that's

960
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 2: Democratic around Madison and slam it all into Mark Polkan's district,

961
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 2: so he wins with seventy five percent of the vote

962
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 2: when he runs for reelection. But that means that all

963
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 2: those Democrats that are in that district, they're not over

964
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 2: there in the Western Wisconsin district, that they're not in

965
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 2: the first district in the southeast corner of the state.

966
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 2: They're all crammed into this Democratic district, which leaves the

967
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:57,439
Speaker 2: rest of the state. We're a fifty to fifty state,

968
01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 2: and the democrascent there for we should have half the

969
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:00,920
Speaker 2: members of the Congress of the half of the murmers

970
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 2: of the House should be Democratic. Except we're not fifty

971
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 2: to fifty in terms of geographic distribution. We're fifty to

972
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,280
Speaker 2: fifty because all of Madison is Democratic and a huge

973
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 2: chunk of Milwaukee is Democratic, and the whole majority of

974
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 2: the rest of the state is predominantly Republicans. So unless

975
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 2: you draw squiggly lines all over the place that has

976
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:20,640
Speaker 2: spersed these Madison area and Milwaukee area Democrats and in

977
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 2: numerous other districts, it's going to be what you get.

978
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 2: There is a disproportioned desire on the part of Democrats

979
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 2: to live close to one another more so than with

980
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:34,320
Speaker 2: the Republicans. Oh, there's overwhelm. You go into like rural Georgia,

981
01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 2: you got ninety percent Republican districts. Just ads in the

982
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 2: middle of the central city of Atlanta you have ninety

983
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:45,880
Speaker 2: percent Democratic districts. But as a whole, the Democratic strongholds

984
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 2: are way more democratic than the Republican strongholds, Which is

985
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 2: why if you look at one of those color coded

986
01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 2: maps of the United States, red versus blue, whole country's red,

987
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:58,839
Speaker 2: but the specks that are blue are heavily populated areas

988
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:02,599
Speaker 2: where the Democrats pack themselves on top of one another,

989
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:13,519
Speaker 2: one stinky, smelly, bluish mass of Marxist glob Well, you

990
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 2: need some infiltration. That's what people like me have to

991
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 2: do that live in overwhelming the democratic areas. What was this?

992
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 2: You stay there, stay away from the rest of us.

993
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 2: The problem with that, of course, is is that now

994
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:26,800
Speaker 2: you're seeing many of these cities elect Marxist mayors, and

995
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 2: this create you know, the problems of the city of

996
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 2: Chicago create terrible problems for the entire United States of America.

997
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 2: As New York City goes to hell and so on.

998
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:38,160
Speaker 2: The challenge for the Democrats is is as they all

999
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 2: pack themselves into this to redistrict their states to try

1000
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:44,960
Speaker 2: to get more Democratic votes all over the place, and

1001
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:46,880
Speaker 2: what they end up having to do to create this

1002
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 2: political balance or even political advantage for themselves is draw

1003
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:54,439
Speaker 2: strange goofy little weird little lines in which the districts

1004
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 2: are not at all contiguous but filter. And you know,

1005
01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:00,600
Speaker 2: you could, for example, draw a district it includes a

1006
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:02,439
Speaker 2: portion of the north side of Milwaukee that goes all

1007
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 2: the way to Oshkosh, it even Green Bay. It would

1008
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 2: be like pencil thin and so on, and you know,

1009
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 2: create a bunch of fifty one to forty nine Democratic

1010
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:12,559
Speaker 2: districts rather than what it is that we have right now.

1011
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 2: You know what week it is, don't you. Paul thinks

1012
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 2: he knows what week it is. You won't have to

1013
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:20,960
Speaker 2: wait long to find out what week it is. On

1014
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:26,640
Speaker 2: the Mark Belling podcast. This is the Mark Belling podcast.

1015
01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:30,840
Speaker 2: It's bear Week. I remember when I was a kid,

1016
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:34,680
Speaker 2: that was a big week Northeastern Wisconsin Bearwig. You know,

1017
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 2: that was before the full merger of the two leagues.

1018
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:39,640
Speaker 2: The AFL was still the AFL and then the AFC.

1019
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:42,519
Speaker 2: Was the AFC, and there wasn't even Inner League play

1020
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 2: until the Super Bowl and so on, and the Bears

1021
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 2: were always the Packers' greatest rival, and for most of

1022
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,639
Speaker 2: the fifty five years since then, the Bears have either

1023
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 2: been really good while the Packers sucked or vice versa.

1024
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:57,280
Speaker 2: There was that period, a couple of periods in there,

1025
01:10:57,320 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 2: for instance, the kil end of five in the early

1026
01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 2: part of Rogers, that the Bears would occasionally have really

1027
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:05,040
Speaker 2: good seasons the same year that the Packers did, and

1028
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:07,680
Speaker 2: that's when they've had well, there's been quite a few

1029
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 2: of those years in which in recent times they've been

1030
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:14,559
Speaker 2: very very close at level, and this year appears to

1031
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:16,679
Speaker 2: be the case. And the way the NFL schedule work,

1032
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:19,360
Speaker 2: it's just there are quirks, and one of the quirks

1033
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:22,799
Speaker 2: is the Packers play the Bears twice in three weeks.

1034
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 2: They play them this week in Green Bay and two

1035
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 2: weeks from Sunday in Chicago. So that would in and

1036
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 2: of itself make those games extremely important, but even more

1037
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 2: so given the fact that right now the Chicago Bears,

1038
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 2: it's hard to say, have the best record in the

1039
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,760
Speaker 2: National Football Conference. They're the number one seed in the

1040
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:50,719
Speaker 2: Conference thanks to their pounding really at Philadelphia on Friday

1041
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 2: during the Thanksgiving Thanksgiving weekend, the Rams lost their game.

1042
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 2: The Bears actually have the number one seed right now.

1043
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 2: More to the point, with regard to the Packers making

1044
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:04,040
Speaker 2: the playoffs, winning the division, all of that's pretty much

1045
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 2: almost certain mathematically to be determined by who wins the

1046
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 2: two Packer Bear games. Now, if they split, which is

1047
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 2: certainly very possible, the Bears start out a little bit

1048
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:15,600
Speaker 2: ahead of Green Bay, then the other games would come

1049
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:18,800
Speaker 2: into play. There were some really stupid comments being made

1050
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 2: by some of the analysts during the after the Packer win,

1051
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,040
Speaker 2: in which they talked about the importance of the Packers

1052
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:27,720
Speaker 2: winning all of these games that affect the tiebreaker. The

1053
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 2: Packers can't tie anyone because they have that tie, so

1054
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 2: the tiebreakers will not come into play, unless even if

1055
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 2: they got another tie, they would then have two ties.

1056
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:40,639
Speaker 2: The only case in which a tiebreaker would come into

1057
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 2: effect is if they tie Dallas for something, because they

1058
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 2: don't have that tie. The games are important, however, because

1059
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:48,679
Speaker 2: if you beat one of those teams, that's a loss

1060
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:50,519
Speaker 2: for them and a win for use, so it still

1061
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 2: swings the standings. So the Packers, if they could beat

1062
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:57,719
Speaker 2: the Bears twice, would get a big jump over the Bears,

1063
01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 2: but it wouldn't affect the tiebreaker unless the go on

1064
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 2: throughout the season and get a tie themselves. And I

1065
01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 2: think I'm not sure. I think the Dallas game was

1066
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:09,000
Speaker 2: the only tie this year in the NFL. I don't

1067
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:11,960
Speaker 2: think there's been another tie. Yeah, So, I mean it's

1068
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 2: very rare to have a tie where the game goes

1069
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:19,839
Speaker 2: through the overtime and there's still a tie. So the Bears,

1070
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:23,439
Speaker 2: who statistically are a train wreck, I mean, their defense

1071
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 2: is ranked terrible in terms of yardage. Going into this

1072
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:29,200
Speaker 2: past weekend, they had been outscored on the season. They

1073
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 2: finally came up with a quality, dominant win. Most of

1074
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 2: their wins were come from behind, skate through and somehow

1075
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:36,800
Speaker 2: and by two or three points. Here they took out

1076
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 2: a big time opponent and really thrashed them. Despite this,

1077
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 2: most people believe that the Packers are going to win

1078
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:45,080
Speaker 2: on Sunday, and part of the game is ac Green Bay,

1079
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:47,720
Speaker 2: which I think home field doesn't count for much of

1080
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 2: anything in the NFL anymore. And the Packers passed the

1081
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 2: eye test a little bit better than the Bears. But

1082
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 2: you've got a period here in which this great wanted rivalry,

1083
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 2: obviously the oldest rivalry in the NFL. Ill's gonna have

1084
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:04,599
Speaker 2: two pretty good game, pretty big games on the first

1085
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:09,879
Speaker 2: one coming up this weekend in Green Bay. The Packers,

1086
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:12,160
Speaker 2: who some people weren't impressed with a few weeks ago,

1087
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 2: now coming off several really good games in a row

1088
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:17,880
Speaker 2: they did. You're gonna keep getting injuries. The injury that

1089
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:20,639
Speaker 2: they sustained here is pretty big because they had only

1090
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 2: one reliable run stopper in the defensive line, and that's

1091
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:26,799
Speaker 2: Devonte Wyatt, who took forever to develop into a dominant

1092
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 2: players at first round draft choice, and he finally got

1093
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 2: to that level and he's done for the season. Other

1094
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 2: than that, though, Green Bay's injury situation is pretty good

1095
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:44,719
Speaker 2: at the moment. They're going to get Yeah, Jaden Reid

1096
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:47,760
Speaker 2: is going to be back, Watson is back until he

1097
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:51,559
Speaker 2: gets hurt again, Dobbs is playing, and they got finally

1098
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:56,040
Speaker 2: the spectacular breakout game from on Tavia. So Paul says,

1099
01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:58,679
Speaker 2: Golden and Golden starting to bitch. But I mean, most

1100
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:00,560
Speaker 2: of the time, you're gonna have three wive receivers on

1101
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 2: the field, and when you have five or six healthy,

1102
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:04,200
Speaker 2: good ones, the threes that are gonna be on the

1103
01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:06,600
Speaker 2: field most of the time are the talented ones. Apparently

1104
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:09,400
Speaker 2: there's also you know, they're using that play of they

1105
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:10,760
Speaker 2: call it what do they call it when they hand

1106
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:12,680
Speaker 2: the ball off to the wide receivers. Sometimes they call

1107
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:15,760
Speaker 2: it jet sweep, and sometimes they call it reverse. They

1108
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:19,200
Speaker 2: say that Goldan's not been if he hasn't adapted the

1109
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 2: timing on that play. And there are, yeah, there's other

1110
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:26,120
Speaker 2: guys that were better added, But I mean the history

1111
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 2: of the Packers wide receivers is that they all get hurt.

1112
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:30,280
Speaker 2: And that means Golden's gonna get his chance again, and

1113
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:33,519
Speaker 2: he's going to be out there and he is playing good.

1114
01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 2: And you know the funny thing about what I've understood

1115
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:39,720
Speaker 2: why Wix drops passes. I finally figured it out. You

1116
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:43,000
Speaker 2: know why he drops passes. He's too open. You want

1117
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 2: him to catch the ball, have a defender draped all

1118
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 2: over his body and have him have to put both

1119
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:50,559
Speaker 2: feet down in bounds. He'll pull it in just fine.

1120
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:53,559
Speaker 2: You're running around with nobody near him. Easy to score

1121
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:55,400
Speaker 2: a bomb for a touch that'll drop the thing right

1122
01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:59,280
Speaker 2: through his hands, there's actually some there's some there's some

1123
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:02,000
Speaker 2: psychology behind all of that. When you're wide open, you know,

1124
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:06,320
Speaker 2: I remember the comment that yeah, Randall Cobb made when

1125
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:09,120
Speaker 2: he caught the long bomb from the Packers against the

1126
01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 2: Bears a decade ago and Soldier Field in the fourth

1127
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 2: and sixth play that Rogers through the bomb to and

1128
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:19,880
Speaker 2: he was open, and Cobb said, the whole time I

1129
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:22,479
Speaker 2: was down there, all I was thinking about was not

1130
01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:26,439
Speaker 2: dropping a body catch at anything. Don't drop, don't drop. Well,

1131
01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:28,960
Speaker 2: when you're in a situation where you're wide open, that's

1132
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 2: when the negative thought comes in. When something's really hard

1133
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 2: to do, you're thinking positively, I'm gonna go get the ball,

1134
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:38,559
Speaker 2: whereas if all you can do it's like all sorts

1135
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:41,040
Speaker 2: of things in life. I mean, how can NBA players

1136
01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 2: who knocked down three point shots all the time miss

1137
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:45,800
Speaker 2: a free throw? Well, there's nobody guarding you. That's when

1138
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:51,160
Speaker 2: the negative thought comes into your you're in a well, yeah,

1139
01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:54,559
Speaker 2: I mean that's just I think that there's an issue

1140
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:56,880
Speaker 2: with a Packer receivers not ever great hands. If they

1141
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:58,719
Speaker 2: had great hands and they were good at getting opening

1142
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 2: all of those things, that all be all for. But anyway,

1143
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 2: the Packers and the Bears. I think the Packers are

1144
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:10,679
Speaker 2: better than the Bears, but the Packers I think benefit

1145
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:12,640
Speaker 2: from being a little bit better balanced. I don't think

1146
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 2: the Packers defense is the best in the league. I

1147
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:16,120
Speaker 2: don't think the offense is the best in the league,

1148
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 2: but I think that their defense is close to the

1149
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 2: top and their offense is in the upper half. The

1150
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:23,240
Speaker 2: Bears seem to so far have been disproportionately biased toward

1151
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:26,160
Speaker 2: being really really good on offense and not as good

1152
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 2: on defense, with the exception of making turnovers. But now

1153
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:32,640
Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying. Their defense gives up a lot

1154
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:34,200
Speaker 2: of points in a lot of yards, but they produce

1155
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 2: a lot of turnovers. So we go back. I mean,

1156
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:40,639
Speaker 2: for the longest time you had the Bears were great,

1157
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 2: the Packers sucked, and then the Bears sucked forever, and

1158
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 2: the Packers were great. I mean, it's fun to dislike

1159
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 2: the Bears, but it makes it more fun when both

1160
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:50,600
Speaker 2: teams are actually good, in the same sense that the

1161
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:52,880
Speaker 2: Rower Cup rivalry in recent years has been a lot

1162
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 2: of fun because they not only are your arch rival

1163
01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:58,479
Speaker 2: with an obnoxious fan base and all of that stuff,

1164
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:00,800
Speaker 2: but the games had meaning that they were a big

1165
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 2: threat against you in your own divisions. Well they will be,

1166
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:08,840
Speaker 2: but you know, I don't worry about any of that.

1167
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:10,880
Speaker 2: Just win your games and you're going to see it.

1168
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 2: Have a decent enough seed as the thing goes along,

1169
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:16,960
Speaker 2: and stay healthy. But there are some games more important

1170
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:19,599
Speaker 2: than others. The Packers not affected by the tiebreaker. That's

1171
01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:22,680
Speaker 2: out of it, but there's still the function of the

1172
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 2: standing swing. Two games you win and they lose. If

1173
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:29,000
Speaker 2: they win and you lose, it's a two game difference

1174
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 2: rather than one, and then they play them the twice.

1175
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:35,559
Speaker 2: In the meantime, I've been right about a lot of

1176
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 2: things in football the last two months, but there's one

1177
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:39,360
Speaker 2: thing I've been right about for two years that I

1178
01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:41,240
Speaker 2: said at the time, and I just think I'm vindicated

1179
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 2: that the Vikings decision to pick JJ McCarthy in the

1180
01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:46,559
Speaker 2: first round of the draft was idiotic. He was a

1181
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:49,000
Speaker 2: decent quarterback on a team that ran the ball almost

1182
01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:51,000
Speaker 2: all the time. The Vikings needed the quarterback, and they

1183
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 2: reached and they took a guy that should have been

1184
01:18:52,439 --> 01:18:54,360
Speaker 2: picked in the fifth round in the first round. And

1185
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 2: I at least have been right about that. I mean,

1186
01:18:57,080 --> 01:19:01,519
Speaker 2: he is he's terrible. The worst quarterback starting quarterback in

1187
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:05,240
Speaker 2: the NFL, and I would say even including the teams

1188
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:08,720
Speaker 2: that have gone now to backups like Washington, I think

1189
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 2: he's I don't think JJ McCarthy is a good backup

1190
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:19,439
Speaker 2: in the NFL, right, I think most NFL teams have

1191
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:23,360
Speaker 2: better backups. And again, maybe McCarthy will get better. Younger

1192
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:27,400
Speaker 2: quarterbacks do get better. But the people who question and

1193
01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:30,639
Speaker 2: thought that it was a reach, I think they've been proven.

1194
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:36,600
Speaker 2: They've been proven right about that. The other team in

1195
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 2: the division that we didn't mention is the Detroit Lions,

1196
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 2: and they're still pretty good. But everything that you thought

1197
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:47,480
Speaker 2: might happen did indeed happen. The loss of the two coordinators.

1198
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:50,439
Speaker 2: They're less disciplined on offense, and their defense has gotten

1199
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:56,879
Speaker 2: a lot worse. Well, you know, the whole Dan Campbell

1200
01:19:56,920 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 2: fourth down thing. I'm glad it's coming back to bite him.

1201
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,720
Speaker 2: I made this comment I think prior maybe one of

1202
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:05,759
Speaker 2: the shows last week, maybe our Football Preview. The problem

1203
01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 2: with analytics is analytics looks in the overall and doesn't

1204
01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 2: deal with a specific situation there. I mean, he always

1205
01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:15,840
Speaker 2: goes forward and fourth down if you're always going to

1206
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:17,920
Speaker 2: do something, you're gonna get a stretch of times I

1207
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:19,439
Speaker 2: think it's seven or eight times in a row that

1208
01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:21,439
Speaker 2: they didn't pick it up. So five to fourth down

1209
01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:23,120
Speaker 2: plays and the game green Bay went for three and

1210
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 2: got all three. Detroit went for two and didn't get

1211
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:28,639
Speaker 2: there two. Everything else in that game was even. Both

1212
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 2: teams had zero turnovers, The first down in the yard

1213
01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:34,559
Speaker 2: age were almost identical across the board. Yet the Packers

1214
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:37,200
Speaker 2: won by two scores, and it was those fourth down plays.

1215
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:40,000
Speaker 2: A fourth down play. Got to think about it this way.

1216
01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:42,679
Speaker 2: It's the equivalent of a turnover. Let's imagine you fumble

1217
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:44,439
Speaker 2: the ball on third down, the other team recovers, it's

1218
01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:46,639
Speaker 2: a turnover. Fourth down is the same thing. You get

1219
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:50,120
Speaker 2: the ball where the other team was. It's it's it's

1220
