We are 5 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 2: hardcore talk radio today. Get the illegals out of here. 6 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 2: No boys and girls restaurants and no fat generals and 7 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 2: what else. 8 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: We're no women in combat exactly. We are done with that. 9 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: That's right, amen, Pete Boy, you tell them, huh, maybe 10 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: I've had too much coffee. It's possible. That's all right. 11 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: It's been fun. So oh, that's right. I had an introduction. Really, 12 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: let me get that. I should have written it. 13 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 3: Voldemort couldn't get little Hermione Granger, but she just took 14 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 3: a one two punch that dropped her to the canvas. 15 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: For none other than JK. Rowling. 16 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 3: It's a special celebrity packed gender bending madness updates. 17 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: So I kept hearing about this thing called by the loco. 18 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: We're a Brave New worldl. 19 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 3: Now, before we get to the Harry Potter madness, first, 20 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 3: a story that's pretty serious. 21 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: It's from Massachusetts. 22 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 3: Here is a couple that has been fostering children for 23 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 3: several years now. They've taken seven children into their home 24 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 3: in Massachusetts for short and longer term placements. They are 25 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 3: the sort of people you dream of as a society 26 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 3: being foster parents. But now the state of Massachusetts, like 27 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 3: several others, is forcing them to either sign an agreement 28 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 3: that they will and I quote support, respect and affirm 29 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 3: the foster child well sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. 30 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 3: This lgbt q I A plus non discrimination policy requires 31 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 3: them to go along with that or they can no 32 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 3: longer foster children. And this couple are devout Christians, say, essentially, 33 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 3: I'm paraphrasing them, say, yeah, that particular brand of adolescent 34 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 3: confusion and struggle with mental illness. I need to sign 35 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 3: a form that says I have to affirm that and 36 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 3: encourage it not doing it. 37 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't have to be Christian to come to that. 38 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 2: That's just a common sense approach. That is about as 39 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: awful a thing as I'm going to hear today, because, 40 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 2: like you said, the kind of couple that decides that's 41 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: what they're going to do with their lives. Wow, they 42 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 2: you know, they could be saints. Yeah, oh yeah, taking 43 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: that on that is absolutely amazing for the state to 44 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: then jump in with their ideological craziness. 45 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: For a couple of people like that. Oh I know. 46 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 3: And these these Skurns, like so many foster parents, are 47 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 3: absolutely dedicated to loving and helping and raising the child 48 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 3: until perhaps the family can be reunited. They are among 49 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 3: the best people. Again, they're being forced to co sign 50 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 3: a particular mental. 51 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: Illness, which is that's what it is. 52 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 3: Anyway, moving along, they're fighting back, by the way, They've 53 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: got some great legal defense and they, like several other 54 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 3: couples around the country, are fighting back. And good for them, 55 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 3: and I hope they do well. And if you need 56 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 3: a few bucks, let me know. So here's the JK. 57 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: Rowling thing. 58 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 3: And I became aware of this I came across a 59 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 3: column in the New York Post. 60 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: She is the author of all the Harry Potter books. 61 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought everybody knows that, but it doesn't cost 62 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 3: anything to point it out. Indeed, and she is actual 63 00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 3: gazillionaire and an absolutely brilliant and decent persons. So this 64 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 3: is written by Brenda O'Neil in the Post, and it 65 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 3: points out that JK. Rowling has and this is an 66 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 3: overused phrase, but in this case, it's appropriate broken her 67 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 3: silence on Emma Watson, the actress who played. 68 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: Little Hermione Granger. 69 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 3: He said, it is one of the truest and most 70 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 3: cutting takedowns of blissful ignorance of mondied moral posers I 71 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 3: have ever read. Watson is the actress who gained fame 72 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 3: and riches from playing Hermione in the Harry Potter films 73 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 3: of late she has become a one woman foghorn of 74 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 3: luxuriant moralism that passes for virtue in celebrity circles. She 75 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 3: fell in with a Black Lives Matter contagion, ostentatiously confessing 76 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: that she had benefited from white supremacy, and she thinks 77 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 3: Israel is committing genocide and Gaza blah blah bah. She's 78 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 3: again a one woman foghorn of luxuriant moralism. So I 79 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 3: had to go to the source material, obviously, because he 80 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 3: describes what JK wrote, and I found it. She posted 81 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 3: it to Twitter, and you know, I'll go ahead and 82 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 3: do the read her caveats because it helps to show 83 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 3: you what kind of person she is. She said, I'm 84 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 3: seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I 85 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 3: want to make a couple of points. 86 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: This is JK. Rowling. 87 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 3: I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once 88 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 3: played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous 89 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 3: to me as me checking with the boss I had 90 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 3: when I was twenty one for what opinions I should 91 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 3: hold these days. Emma Watson and her co stars have 92 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 3: every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are 93 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 3: legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of 94 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 3: them threatened with loss of work or violence or death 95 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 3: because of them. Worth noting, Jakay has had tons of horrific, 96 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,239 Speaker 3: vile threats and slanders against her in recent days. 97 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 2: And she's lucky she can afford the private security that 98 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 2: I'm sure she needs. 99 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 3: Right However, Emma and Dan Daniel Radcliffe Harry Potter in particular, 100 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 3: both made it clear over the last few years that 101 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 3: they think our former professional association gives them a particular rite, 102 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 3: nay obligation to critique me in my views in public. 103 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 3: Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to 104 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 3: assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world 105 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 3: I created. When you've known people since they were ten 106 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 3: years old, it's hard not it's hard to shake a 107 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 3: certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw 108 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 3: off the memory of children who needed to be gently 109 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 3: coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. 110 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 3: For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from 111 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 3: journalists to comment on Emma, specifically, most notably on The 112 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 3: Witch Trials of JK Rowling, a fantastic documentary. Ironically, I 113 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 3: told the producers that I did not want her to 114 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 3: be hounded as the result of anything I said, so 115 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 3: she just hasn't commented on those people. The television presenter 116 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 3: in the attached clip, which you know I should ask for, 117 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 3: the audio highlights Emma's all Witches speech, and in truth 118 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 3: that was a turning point for me, as Emma has 119 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 3: unloaded on JK publicly, but it had a PostScript that 120 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 3: hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone 121 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 3: to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, 122 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 3: which contained the single sentence quote, I'm so sorry for 123 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 3: what you're going through. She has my phone number. By 124 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 3: the way, This was back when the death, rape, and 125 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 3: torture threats against me were at their peak, at a 126 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 3: time when my personal security measures had to be tightened considerably, 127 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 3: and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma 128 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 3: had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet 129 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 3: thought a one line expression of concern from her would 130 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 3: reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness. 131 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: Like other people who've. 132 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 3: Never experienced adult life on cushioned by wealth and fame, 133 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 3: Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant 134 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 3: of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. 135 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 3: She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex 136 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 3: public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in 137 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 3: a high street changing room since childhood. Her public bathroom 138 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 3: is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing 139 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 3: guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off 140 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 3: in a newly mixed sex changing room at a council 141 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 3: run swimming pool that's a government swimming pool. Is she 142 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 3: ever likely to need a state run rape crisis center 143 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 3: that refuses to guarantee an all female service to find 144 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 3: herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's 145 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,559 Speaker 3: identified into the women's prison. I wasn't made a multi 146 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 3: millionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the 147 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 3: book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my 148 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 3: own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in 149 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 3: which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and 150 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 3: girls without their privileges. The greatest irony here is that, 151 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 3: had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to 152 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 3: declare that she loves and treasures me a change of tack. 153 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 3: I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full throated condemnation 154 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 3: of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was. 155 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 3: I might never have been this honest one more little bit. 156 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 3: Adults can't expect a cozy up to an activist movement 157 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 3: that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their 158 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 3: right to the former friend's love as though the friend 159 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 3: was in fact their mother. Emma is right to freely 160 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 3: disagree with me, and indeed to discuss her feelings about 161 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 3: me in public. But I have the same right, and 162 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 3: I've finally decided to exercise it. 163 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 2: It's interesting she decided to stick her neck out like this. 164 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: JK.

It's a 176 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 3: luxury belief for her, and JK has finally called her 177 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 3: on it. 178 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: Well, and JK. 179 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 2: Rowlings is also absolutely right about the tide has turned 180 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 2: in the days of Clearly JK.

The eighty five percent of us 185 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 3: who think the gender bending madness is actually madness, it's 186 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 3: mental illness. You don't change your sex by declaring, Now 187 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 3: I'm a girl.

For whatever reason, we never got to 211 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: the end in my household. And uh, I always assumed 212 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 2: that Harry and Hermione were going to end up together, 213 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 2: but that's not what happened. 214 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: No no, no, no no. 215 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 3: Spoiler alert.

Uh. 218 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 3: Anyway, Yeah, I'd encourage you to watch Slash read the 219 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 3: end because part of the genius of JK. Rowling and 220 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 3: the Harry Potter series, and you know, I lived through 221 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 3: this with my kids and I enjoyed the books and 222 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 3: movies myself, was that as the characters aged, the themes 223 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 3: became more mature and complex and and the symbolism more important. 224 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 3: And by the end of it, they were on the 225 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 3: cusp of adulthood, dealing with very adult things and themes. 226 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it for kids my kid's age. 227 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 2: If your kids were the books and then the movies 228 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 2: came out long after the books, well not long, but 229 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 2: years after the books, and everybody's really looking forward to them. 230 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: You know, my kids the movies were there right. 231 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 2: Away and they saw them and it just kind of 232 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 2: took the magic out of the books. 233 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: I think I could see that, Yeah, which is unfortunate. 234 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: I should have. 235 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 2: Hid the movies from them. You know, here's why you 236 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 2: read books. A lot of reasons, those books in particular. 237 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 2: But there are many, many, many examples of this. 238 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 3: If you were to actually bring all of one of 239 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 3: those books to film, it would be seventeen hours long, 240 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 3: probably the movies, but the book is consistently compelling and 241 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 3: engaging all of those hours. 242 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: They are good and just such. 243 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 2: You know, letting your imagination run wild with all that 244 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 2: stuff is so fantastic as opposed to you haven't been 245 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 2: to the Harry Potter thing at Universal. 246 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure because you're an adult. It's pretty impressive. Oh, 247 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: I'd like to I'd like to go. It is pretty impressive. 248 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 2: Okay, we got a lot more in the waist here. 249 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: So apparently this has become a mockable meme. 250 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 2: This is Senator Ted Cruz of Texas said this by mistake. 251 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 4: Senator Booker also said we should have bipartisan agreement. I 252 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 4: think that's a great idea. We should have bipartisan agreement. 253 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 4: How about we all come together and say, let's stop murders. 254 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 4: How about we all come together and say let's stop rape. 255 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: How about we. 256 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 4: All come together and say let's stop attacking pedophiles. 257 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 2: I doubt that he meant that last one. I don't 258 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 2: know what he meant, but so anyway, let's stop attacking pedophiles. 259 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: It's no, and then we killed Social Secure. 260 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 2: Two things for you here. First of all, you weren't here. 261 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 2: You were You had abandoned the show during its time 262 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 2: of need. And I believe we're playing golf. And over 263 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 2: a two day period, I talked to friend of the show, 264 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 2: Tim Sanderfer and Craig Gotwalls and I had a discussion 265 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 2: about AI with both of them and just asked them 266 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 2: their opinion on is AI going to wipe out jobs 267 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 2: and we're going to have to come up with some 268 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 2: sort of guaranteed basic income or something like that there's 269 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 2: be nothing to do, or do you think, like technologies 270 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 2: of the past, it will create more and different jobs. 271 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 2: I lean toward the former rather the latter on AI, 272 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 2: even though history shows it to be the other way. 273 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 2: Both Tim and Craig were big believers that no, it's 274 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 2: just going to be like every other technological advancement that 275 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 2: ever came along. It's going to create a whole bunch 276 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 2: of new different jobs that you can't even imagine yet, 277 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 2: and we'll be just fine. 278 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: I hope they're right. 279 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 2: I don't know if I believe that, but maybe we 280 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 2: have the first inkling of that. Just read a long 281 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 2: substack piece about the world of radiology in at least 282 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 2: at the beginning, it looks like there's more demand for 283 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 2: radiologists than there's ever ben with AI's ability to read 284 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 2: all this stuff super duper fast, and then they need 285 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 2: more radiologists. Most of a radiologist's job is dealing with 286 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 2: the patients and then the stuff that comes after you 287 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 2: read the chart. Reading the chart is a tiny percentage 288 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 2: of the job, and now that gets done really fast 289 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 2: by AI, and you need radiologists to do all the 290 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 2: other part of being a radiologist. So, and this was 291 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 2: one of the main examples people were holding up. In fact, 292 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 2: one of your AI geniuses, one of the grandfathers of AI, 293 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 2: said a year or two ago, if I was in 294 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 2: radiology school, I would drop out and learn to do 295 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 2: something else because that job is going away. And it 296 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 2: seems that that is not happening at all. So maybe 297 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 2: this is the first test case of that whole premise. 298 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm surprised by that. 299 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 3: I don't know what a radiologist would do after the 300 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 3: chart has been read, but maybe I'll read that. 301 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 2: I didn't read the nineteen million word essay on it, 302 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 2: which is the problem with anything substack, because there are 303 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 2: no editors or limits on paper. 304 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: That everything is just way too long. 305 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 3: Everything has infinite space for your ideas. So let's get started. 306 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 2: No, sure, every article is the length of a book. 307 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 2: We did come up with some new pete Hegseat stuff 308 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 2: that you haven't heard yet. I want to play that 309 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 2: for you, among other things. 310 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 1: This thanks time Armstrong and Geeddy. 311 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 5: This Wendy's is adding chicken tenders to their menu and 312 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 5: they're calling them Wendy's Tend's. So far they haven't sold 313 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 5: any because nobody wants to say Wendy's tenders. 314 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: I would agree, I am not saying that as an 315 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 2: adult male. I'd like a six pack of Wendy's ten d's. 316 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: And I need to remember to change my und one piece. 317 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 2: This first round of the playoffs in baseball, they're three 318 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 2: game series, so all the teams that won last night 319 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 2: they could end it tonight. 320 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 1: It's all yeah, it goes fast. I love it. Yep. 321 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: I gotta watch some baseball tonight. 322 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 3: So executive producer Hanson, who is constantly seeking gundermine me, 323 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 3: has undermined me by sending an important and timely. 324 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: Piece of news. 325 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 3: I was already to talk, you know, briefly about the 326 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 3: Israel Hamas situation, which excuse me. You know, I had 327 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 3: that upper respiratory thing. What was that six weeks ago? 328 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 3: That stupid nagging cough is just hanging out. 329 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: Did you get the whooping cough? No? 330 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 3: No, there's no whooping. Okay, I don't think what was 331 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 3: that sick? It's just annoying anyway, Ah, have a cough. 332 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: That's what happens when you get the whooping cough. No, 333 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: that's inaccurate. 334 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 3: So what we were going to talk about was the 335 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 3: fact that Hamas has indicated is opening to it's open 336 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 3: to accepting Trump's peace plan. Read some really great analysis, 337 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 3: Oh but Hamas has some concerns about some of the terms, 338 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 3: And then read some great analysis about how the problem 339 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 3: is the lack of time tables and how Hamas will 340 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 3: string the long cheat as much as possible and really 341 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 3: seek to reconstitute its forces and make it As if 342 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 3: there was no agreement. The cold realistic, optimistic view is 343 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 3: the countermeasures to that, including the involvement of the Arab 344 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 3: countries in the region and the reorganization of Gaza and 345 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 3: the new prosperity and everything. It'll render the ground unfertile 346 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 3: for Homasthas that you know, the sync roots never grow again. 347 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 3: That's the optimistic, coldly realistic. You know, here'd be my 348 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 3: tip to if you're in Hamas. If you don't accept 349 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 3: this deal, Israel is going to kill every last one 350 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 3: of you. 351 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: Now that's a term. 352 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 3: And then finally I mentioned this earlier in the show, 353 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 3: great piece by Emit Siegel, who is a commentator in Israel, 354 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 3: pointing out that the reason all the Arab countries came 355 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 3: around was that Israel had said, all right, we're gonna 356 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 3: get these guys, even if they're in your living room friends, 357 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 3: including Cutter, and that that Net and Yahoo apology was 358 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 3: a measure so the Kataris could save face because they, 359 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 3: like the Iranians and several other countries around the Middle East, 360 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 3: had realized, Okay, Israel's going to come after the people 361 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 3: were harboring in our giant cush oil rich cities and 362 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 3: we don't want that. 363 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: So hey, Hummas agreed to peace. We're through with you. 364 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: That's really interesting. So it worked, you know. So it 365 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 1: wasn't in spite of the attack. It was because of it. 366 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 2: They got all the condemnation from the world and the 367 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 2: President Trump allegedly screamed at Netanyahu on the phone afterwards, 368 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 2: what'd you do? 369 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: Why'd you do? 370 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 3: That? 371 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 2: Seems to have been a key to making this whole 372 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 2: piece plan come together. 373 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 3: Well, it wouldn't be a shock if Benjamin Netanyahu knows 374 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 3: how to deal with these Middle Eastern types a little 375 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 3: better than Trump does at this point. But anyway, so 376 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 3: it was because the Qataris are afraid that they've come 377 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 3: to the table in a serious way. Now here's the 378 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 3: timely and important undermining that Hanson has attempted to inflict 379 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 3: upon me. This is the headline from the Times of Israel. 380 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 3: A senior Hamas official tells the BBC that the Terror 381 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 3: group will likely reject Trump's plan to end the war 382 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 3: in Gaza, telling the British network that it serves Israel's 383 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 3: interests and ignores those of the Palestinian people. 384 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 1: That is a quote. 385 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 3: The official added that Hamas opposes several key provisions of 386 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 3: the plan. Those include the call for the group to 387 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 3: disarm the entry is so called international stabilization forces, and 388 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 3: the requirement that it released all forty eight hostages it's 389 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 3: holding within seventy two hours after the agreement is adopted. Again, 390 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 3: they have mentioned that some of these hostages are held 391 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 3: by groups that were loosely affiliated with and we don't 392 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 3: know where they are and where the hostages are, so 393 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 3: you can't hold us to that. 394 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: Sure, What do you think happens now? 395 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 3: This recent Saudi report also indicated Hamas's skepticism towards the plan. 396 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: Well, I'd like to know what their plan is. What's 397 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: your plan? 398 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 2: Hamas, Israel's going in and Trump said, do what you 399 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 2: gotta do, you have our backing. 400 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: What's your plan? 401 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 3: Their plan has got to be to fight the Israelis 402 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 3: in the rubble and kill as many as possible until 403 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 3: Israel becomes discouraged, to show as many injured civilians, whether 404 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 3: real or concocted, as possible, to bring more condemnation down 405 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 3: on Israel, and play the long game. I really thought they, 406 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 3: as a leopard that will never change its spots, were 407 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 3: going to pretend to accept the deal, then seek to 408 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 3: undermine it at every opportunity for as long as they could. 409 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 3: But maybe they're going with the dead end strategy. All right, 410 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 3: they can fight their way out of the dead end. 411 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see what world opinion is on 412 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 2: what Israel has to do having given them this offer 413 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:08,239 Speaker 2: that was approved by people seem to like it on 414 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 2: NPR and MSNBC and freaking Tom Friedman of The New 415 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 2: York Times even that said it was a deal Homas 416 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 2: should take. 417 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: So if they don't. 418 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 3: Don't know, Yeah, unrest in the Middle East the headline 419 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 3: when I was two twenty forty sixty, and if I 420 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 3: lived to one hundred and thirty five probably be the headline. 421 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: Probably. 422 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 2: So I was wanting these Pete Hegsath clips that I 423 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 2: had heard somewhere else and we hadn't had on our 424 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 2: show before. 425 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 3: To play for you, because I think we want to 426 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 3: break on time for once in our lives and bring 427 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 3: those later.

Uh uh. Don't confuse 528 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: a lufa with a falaffel, similar name, totally different. 529 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 2: Now, if you have a falaffel in the shower, right 530 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 2: or a loofa for lunch, it's gonna both are bad, right, 531 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 2: all right? 532 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: Anyway, Pete eggsays you say, yeah, you got a couple 533 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: of new peaked eggs clips for you and other stuff. 534 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: Stay here, I'm using a lot of soap. 535 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 3: Stop the presses. Stop the press is, ladies and gentlemen. 536 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 3: We have an important correction. I have heard from a dermatologist, 537 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 3: Jack Katie. I can never remember. Are you two dermatologists 538 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 3: or are you absolutely not dermatologists? A dermatologist has informed 539 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 3: me you are correct. It's a puff. Poof is the 540 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 3: regional pronunciation. Change it every three months. Don't wait for 541 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 3: it to un rafle a. Loofa is a natural sponge. 542 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 3: They grow more bacteria by the way, puff nylon lufa 543 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 3: natural fiber sponge. I think. 544 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 2: I think most people use the term loofah for synthetic 545 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 2: things they buy, but it's not accurate. 546 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 3: Most people like socialism. Most people want to be supported 547 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 3: by the government. 548 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. What's important is accuracy. 549 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 6: Ask your dermatologist friend what a lufah puff is then, 550 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 6: because that's what I'm saying, Come up, is it the same? 551 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: It's not a highly unnatural hybrid. 552 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 2: I notice when I'm in hotels now, it's almost exclusively 553 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 2: the pump things in the shower. Yeah, and I just 554 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 2: never quite feel the same level of clean with those 555 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 2: for some reason. I don't know if that's just in 556 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 2: my mind. 557 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, I hate it when I see those, because anybody 558 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 6: can be doing anything to the insides of those bottles. 559 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: I like the individual. Oh, collegie, that's a terrible thing 560 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: to think about. 561 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 3: I'd never everybody's mind is worrying and everybody's trying to 562 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 3: stop their minds. 563 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 2: I'd never thought about it before, but now I always will, 564 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 2: so thanks. 565 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, most of them you need a special tool, 566 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 3: I think to open. But I have a feeling that 567 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 3: special tool is available at what's that store called, Oh, 568 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 3: the Internet. 569 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: That's so gross. 570 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 2: I'd never even thought of it, and I'll never be 571 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 2: able to not think about it. 572 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: Bring your own, yeah, I like bringing my own stuff. 573 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 1: Tough to please, huh. I travel light. 574 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 2: All right, so Pete Heggs has said a whole bunch 575 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 2: of stuff yesterday in front of the fat generals and 576 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 2: the fat admirals about them being fat. We hadn't played 577 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 2: this one yet. 578 00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 7: The Secretary also detailing big changes to complaints with in 579 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 7: the ranks. Sexual harassment and racism are still illegal, he says, 580 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 7: but claims about bullying, hazing it, or toxic leadership will 581 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 7: be redefined. 582 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 8: No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complaints, no more 583 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 8: repeat complainants, no more smearing reputations, no more endless waiting, 584 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 8: no more legal limbo, no more sidetracking careers, no more 585 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 8: walking on eggshells. 586 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: See. 587 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 2: I think that is really interesting because we have that 588 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 2: in the modern workplace right where people are just so 589 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 2: scared to say anything to anyone, and that's made us 590 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 2: all less friendly and we have worse relationships at work 591 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 2: than we've ever had and everything like that before. How 592 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 2: less effective, I would argue, And probably yeah, almost certainly, 593 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 2: How do you how do you go back to a 594 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 2: time where we weren't walking on eggshells without I don't know, 595 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 2: ending up a situation where you're covering up bad things 596 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 2: that probably should come to the light today. 597 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: It's tough to strike that balance. 598 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 3: Honestly, I think what Hegseeth is saying is that we went. 599 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: Too far the other one. 600 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 3: I'm sure we did to the point that it really 601 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 3: affected our war fighting readiness, and we're going back in 602 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 3: the other direction. Will that result in some unfortunate stuff? 603 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 3: Almost certainly, yeah, because there were human beings. We're not 604 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 3: good at perfection. But we've got to air to the 605 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 3: war fighting side as opposed to the nobody gets their 606 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 3: feathers ruffled side. 607 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 2: I think it was one of the newspapers I was reading, 608 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 2: Washington Post, New York Times, one of those. But reminding 609 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 2: us all, maybe Pete Hegseeth has forgotten the nineties' Tailhook 610 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 2: Navy scandal, which was all about sexual harassment and that 611 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 2: sort of stuff. Okay, well, you know you don't want that, 612 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 2: but you also don't want people. You don't want a 613 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 2: situation where somebody can make, as Pete said, an anonymous 614 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 2: call to a hotline and change somebody's complete career. 615 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 3: Path right right, which you know, brings us back to 616 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 3: the fact that a for a long time now, so 617 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 3: called microaggressions or imagined defenses were treated as if they were, 618 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 3: you know, a violent sexual assault. 619 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: They were treated with that seriousness. 620 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 3: A reminder please read James Lindsey's Famine Helm Pluck Roses 621 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 3: brilliant cynical theories. That is a tool of takeover of 622 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 3: an institution. If I can ruin your career by merely 623 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 3: dropping a little note to the command and I can 624 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 3: make up what you did, that's never been considered an 625 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 3: offense in the history of mankind. 626 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: But now it is all of a sudden. 627 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 3: I own you, I control you, I control this institution. 628 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 3: The microaggressions thing at its genesis was not overly sensitive people. 629 00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: It's a deliberate tool of takeover. And you gotta get 630 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: rid of that. 631 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 2: Play that other peak clip just for fun. We'll get 632 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 2: that on and then we'll be done with that conversation. 633 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 8: Those physical standards must be high and gender neutral. 634 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: If women can make it excellent. If not, it is 635 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: what it is. 636 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 8: If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, 637 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 8: so be it. 638 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 2: That's the clip that got people all fired up on 639 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 2: your cable news channels. 640 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 1: It is what it is. Oh, it is what it is. 641 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 2: No women in combat, Yeah, if there aren't any that 642 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,280 Speaker 2: can cut it. I'm sure there are plenty that can, 643 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 2: but there aren't going to be as many. 644 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,320 Speaker 1: Women in combat. And that's fine. 645 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,280 Speaker 3: If you think the standards are too high, make that case. 646 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 3: But the idea that those people have one standard to 647 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 3: save their lives and those are the people in their unit, 648 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 3: and those people have different standards to save their own 649 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 3: lives in the people of the ear unit because they're girls, 650 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 3: that is absurd. And if you don't recognize that, I 651 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 3: seriously don't know where to begin the conversation with you. 652 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: So somebody posted somebody in government? Is that a Senator Turnbull? 653 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: I know that name. 654 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 2: Anyway, I think it's a Senator. Turnbull posted a picture 655 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 2: of Ted Cruz in a not flattering shot. 656 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: In he's not wearing his suit jacket. 657 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,760 Speaker 2: He's just in a shirt and pants, and he's sitting 658 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 2: in an airport and he's very round. 659 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: Man. I didn't realize he was that big. 660 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 2: Anyway, I just got in a little porky, Oh my god, 661 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 2: a little I'll send you this picture. Turnbull said, Senator 662 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 2: Cruz strongly supports fitness standards for the military. Okay, So 663 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 2: Charles C. W. A. Cooka The National Review posted that 664 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,720 Speaker 2: and said, very good point. If you, as a person 665 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 2: who isn't in the military, aren't personally fit, then you 666 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 2: can't argue that people in the military should be in 667 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 2: military ship.
