1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, arm Strong

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: and Jetty and no He Armstrong and Yahetty.

4
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: This I saw that a new study found that dogs

5
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: can almost get all the nutrients they.

6
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: Need from plant based foods. Yeah.

7
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 2: The only downside is once dogs go vegan, they won't

8
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: stop barking about I heard, I heard, I heard you possible, Yes, impossibly.

9
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: I that's pretty funny. Shut up, fid oh, shut up.

10
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: So this makes my just makes me tired thinking about this.

11
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 3: So my son is taking a class through the local

12
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 3: public school district in American history, and I I knew

13
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 3: from the get go that there's a chance it was

14
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 3: going to be unpalatable to me. But the idea is

15
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 3: really the idea is I just got to get through

16
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 3: one more year of public school. It's off to the

17
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 3: private school. Variety of reasons I can't explain, but and

18
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 3: then I don't have to deal with it ever again

19
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 3: in my life. But public schools are woke across the nation.

20
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 3: They're even more woke in California, and they're even more

21
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 3: woke than that in the town I live in so

22
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: it's like three levels of woke and American history class

23
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 3: day one they gave. The only assignments on day one

24
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: was a handout to syllabus. You gave your pronouns and

25
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 3: had to write a land acknowledgment explaining how we had

26
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 3: stolen the land from the Indian tribe where the school

27
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: was built and we should feel awful about it. So

28
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: I knew we were off to a rough start. And

29
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 3: then the teacher also handed out the book and explained

30
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: how the book is full of lies and distortions that

31
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: they will all that they will go through and fix.

32
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: And I thought, wow, So the current history books, which

33
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: most normal people feel like are two woke, are not.

34
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: Two anti American?

35
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 3: Are not anti American or woke enough for the teacher,

36
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: oh boy. And it was explained how we're not going

37
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 3: to use terms like slaves in this class. We'll call

38
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 3: enslaved people because slaves is a dehumanizing term. You know,

39
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 3: just when you start down the road of that sort

40
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 3: of nonsense, I know you know which direction it's gone.

41
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: I know, and I just think I think it's headed

42
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 3: for a crash. I think it's headed for This ain't

43
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: gonna work in the past, I've stayed out of this,

44
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: but I no longer give a crap. I don't care

45
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 3: if the person hears about it, or if it causes

46
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: any problems, or I don't care. I just don't care.

47
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 3: You're a lunatic if you believe that stuff, You're a

48
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 3: freaking lunatic. Yeah, you well, you're an ignoramus, and your

49
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: ideology and your ignorance have led you to saying just

50
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 3: idiotic things. The lack of perspective is the thing that

51
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: makes me insane.

52
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: And gosh, how don't even know which direction to go.

53
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: I've got so many But.

54
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 4: The idea that that slavery slavery you're supposed to call

55
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 4: it these days because it makes you sound most sovistigated,

56
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,399
Speaker 4: is somehow uniquely American, might be the least accurate thing

57
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: that's ever said. Slavery was everywhere, all the time, for

58
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 4: all of human history, and it was brutal and dehumanizing

59
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 4: everywhere it occurred, no exceptions. And then a few societies,

60
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 4: including ours, said, you know, this is ugly and sick.

61
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: I don't think we ought to do this anymore, even.

62
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 3: Without all this stuff. So how do we get back

63
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 3: to a point where we should all learn American history,

64
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 3: how this country is founded. That's not an attempt to

65
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: cover up bad stuff. It's just you've only got time

66
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: for so many things. And if you make the whole

67
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: semester about how the Indians at this land before we

68
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: got here, you don't get to the writing of the

69
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: Constitution and how that came to be, and what the

70
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: Bill of Rights is and how magnificent it is, and

71
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: blah blah blah, all that stuff.

72
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: You don't have time for it. If you focus on.

73
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: Enslaved people and the name ative Americans, where are you.

74
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 3: Where's a kid supposed to learn about Thomas Jefferson. If

75
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,839
Speaker 3: you spend all your time on Indian tribes and slavery, you're.

76
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 4: Making an excellent argument to get parents on our side

77
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 4: and get pissed off about this. That's a miserably ineffective

78
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 4: argument against the teachers and administrators, though, because they know

79
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 4: exactly what they're doing. They think America is an evil

80
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 4: place Western civilization ought to be torn down, and they

81
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 4: are actively trying to indoctrinate your kids into their neo

82
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 4: Marxist thinking. And so they're like, no, no, we're teaching

83
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 4: them precisely what they need to learn our priorities aren't wrong,

84
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 4: they're precisely right time they would say to you, if

85
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 4: they're going to be honest.

86
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: I know.

87
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm so disgusted by all this.

88
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: That's why I've gone completely anti public school. I just

89
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 3: think it needs to be torn down, start over. Why

90
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: do we even have public schools. It's a bad idea,

91
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 3: it doesn't work. Get rid of them. And do you

92
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: good teachers out there, and I know a bunch of

93
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 3: them will work your asses off and your miracles. I

94
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 3: mean just I've done some teachers that are just it's

95
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 3: like they were said by God, they're so amazing.

96
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: Love you people, love you, respect you, cherish you.

97
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 3: And you can do the same. Gig at some sort

98
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 3: of private school that's not out of its mind. Yeah,

99
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: and again I beg government schools.

100
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the right that's the right term. Yeah.

101
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 4: Anyway, So everybody who listens to the show knows I Joe,

102
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 4: I'm an Orwell freak, and I'm so intrigued by one

103
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 4: of the major themes of nineteen eighty four, which was,

104
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 4: and I quote Orwell, the most effective way to destroy

105
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 4: people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of

106
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 4: their history. And you know, I've talked about that at

107
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 4: length before, but I came across an absolutely wonderful description

108
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 4: of why that is. It happens to be Peggy Noonan

109
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 4: writing about the historian David McCullough, who he's passed away

110
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 4: now for a few years, but some of his previously

111
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 4: unpublished work has come out and and she says, this

112
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 4: does not feel at all like Beryl scraping.

113
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: This stuff is great. David. I didn't know there was

114
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: unpublished David McCullough's stuff out. Cool.

115
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had written, He's written all sorts of stuff. Truman,

116
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 4: the Johnstown Flood, John Adams seventeen seventy six, the Wright Brothers,

117
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 4: I mean, wonderful, wonderful. I've read a half does of them.

118
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 4: So why does history matter? I will answer in the

119
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 4: world's words of David McCullough. History shows us how to behave.

120
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 4: History teaches reinforces what we believe in, what we stand for,

121
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 4: and what we ought to be willing to stand up for.

122
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: And it's not just the dry recording of facts. It

123
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: has a moral quotion.

124
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 4: He says, quote at the core the lessons of history

125
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 4: are largely lessons in appreciation everything we have. All the

126
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 4: great institutions, the arts are law exist because those who

127
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 4: came before us built them. Why did they do that?

128
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 4: What drove them? What obstacles did they face? How are

129
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 4: we doing His stores and creators in difference to his

130
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 4: isn't just ignorant, it's rude. And he's absolutely one hundred

131
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 4: percent right. And twisting history is not an accident. That's

132
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: what Marxists do. That's why Orwell wrote nineteen eighty four

133
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 4: in the twentieth century, because he saw what they were

134
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 4: doing and why they were doing it. But Jjin Bing's

135
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 4: trying to do it every damn day of the week

136
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 4: right now.

137
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 3: The people on the other side have just such an

138
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 3: easy argument for people who are just kind of paying

139
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 3: attention and want to be nice people to grasp onto Well,

140
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 3: people like me just want to cover up slavery and

141
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: how we took the land from the Indians the end wrong.

142
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 4: No, you're wrong and ignorant and either wittingly or unwittingly

143
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 4: a Marxist activist. And I will spend every day I

144
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 4: live opposing you.

145
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: I hate you. I'm so hate speech, i hate you,

146
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm so frustrated by this. You can't even imagine.

147
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 4: Oh, I can tried to imagine, but it came across

148
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 4: another great piece of writing by Dan Luherman, who is

149
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 4: curiously enough a professor of I want to get this right.

150
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 4: He's a professor at Columbia University. He's a professor of

151
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 4: cognitive science and teaches various science and theater, interestingly enough,

152
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 4: at various schools.

153
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: But woke he ain't. Boy, this guy's got to be

154
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: unpopular at Columbia.

155
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 4: He's written a brilliant piece for the Free Press called

156
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 4: the War on Knowledge, and he's talking about how, and

157
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 4: he gives examples of his kids' schools. In many classrooms today,

158
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 4: the very idea of committing information of memory has become unfashionable.

159
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 4: Schools have decided that facts are no longer worth teaching.

160
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 4: As I toured schools for my daughter, we are often

161
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: assured that facts will not be the focus of education.

162
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: We don't do wrote memorization.

163
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 4: Teachers probably declare with a condescending wink, as if memorization

164
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 4: an outdated relic of a less enlightened era. But without facts,

165
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 4: what are students actually learning? At the progressive Brooklyn private

166
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 4: school where I once taught spelling wasn't corrected until middle school.

167
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 4: Focusing on spelling, we were told, got in the way

168
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 4: of creativity. I then watched smart curious kids right Massion

169
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 4: macie n for machine at age fourteen than wilt When

170
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 4: people involuntarily gasped at their failed spelling attempts. Their writings

171
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 4: were often expressive and insightful and incoherent. They probably weren't

172
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 4: even aware of these sixty thousand dollars per year price tag,

173
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 4: or they might have raged against the massion funny thing

174
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 4: to say.

175
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: And then math was treated with the same flippancy.

176
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 4: Curious about the curiously low standardized test scores, I once

177
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 4: wandered into a math classroom where the teacher was barefoot

178
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 4: in a faded led Zeppelin T shirt.

179
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: It was a really cool shirt, he mentions.

180
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 4: He then drew a circle on the board and announced,

181
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 4: this is not a circle.

182
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: That's the representation of a circle, all right.

183
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 4: The lesson, it seemed, was to gain mystique points by

184
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 4: using a stoner voice to say something quirky. I couldn't

185
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 4: help but make a connection between that math lesson and

186
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 4: the school's undying demand for expanse expensive private tutors.

187
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: There's more.

188
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 4: The war on knowledge is not confined to elite on claves.

189
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: He writes.

190
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 4: The Seattle Public school system embraced a Math Ethnic Studies

191
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 4: framework starting in twenty nineteen. Their teachers were encouraged to

192
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 4: reflect in their curriculum how can we change mathematics from

193
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 4: individualists to collectivist thinking? Good lord, and you think I'm

194
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 4: ranting about Marxism out of line, No, sir. That math

195
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 4: framework reached more than fifty thousand. Students drew on themes

196
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 4: like power and oppression and history of resistance in liberation,

197
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 4: which reminds me of my favorite math joke, who I

198
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,599
Speaker 4: was ten scared of seven because seven, eight, nine and

199
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 4: nine oppressed or something like that.

200
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 3: This is a funny writing, it really is on a

201
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: horrifying topic. Well, like one of the examples apparently this

202
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 3: teacher said, we're not going to use terms like they

203
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 3: use a term in the book. We're not going to

204
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: use resourceful people. And I don't know what that's about.

205
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 3: Have you heard that one? You're not supposed to credit

206
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 3: I could imagine. Yeah, I can imagine too. There's too

207
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 3: much credit giving given to, you know, people who came

208
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 3: from England and started building colonies or whatever. The United

209
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 3: States being resourceful when all they were doing is stealing

210
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: from the endian or something.

211
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, any positive attribute, it's white supremacy. One more quick

212
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 4: quote from this in the words a Tracy castro Gill,

213
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 4: the creator of the Math Ethnic Studies framework, And this

214
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 4: is a quote, folks, decolonial teacher. Education must actively confront

215
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 4: coloniality and create alternative frameworks. In her words, she casts

216
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 4: education itself as a colonial project to be dismantled, a

217
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 4: fundamental departure from what the word education means. We've got

218
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 4: to tear it down, friends, tear it down. Government schools

219
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 4: have been taken over by the extremest left period.

220
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 3: It's disturbing, man, seriously disturbing. You Wonder where the you know,

221
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: you run into a twenty five year old with crazy beliefs.

222
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: They got it starting in kindergarten.

223
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, And I've got to at least be somewhat

224
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 4: forgiving to some of these young teachers who are teaching

225
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 4: the kids precisely what they were taught their entire careers

226
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 4: and told was important to teach kids. But we folks

227
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 4: can no longer sit quietly and idly and quote unquote

228
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 4: trust our school boards and our teachers and our superintendents.

229
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: No, man, we are in a fight, so fight. Hey,

230
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: you want to come in on any of that? You

231
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: have any example?

232
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 3: School years up and running text line four one, five, two,

233
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 3: nine fifty.

234
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 4: It was August twenty twelve when the Publisher's clearing House

235
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 4: prize patrol surprised this othern Oregon man with balloons, flowers,

236
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 4: and an oversized check. You won five thousand dollars a

237
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 4: week forever, they told him, with TV cameras rolling in.

238
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: Oh cool.

239
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 4: John Wiley, a white city Oregon thought he was set

240
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 4: for life. He retired and moved close to his kids,

241
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 4: bought a house on six acres near beautiful Bellingham, Washington,

242
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 4: and every January for the past twelve years, Publishers Clearinghouse

243
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 4: deposited that prize money into his bank account. But you

244
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 4: know the old internet meme of how it started, how

245
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 4: it's going, Here's how it's going.

246
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: I thought, why didn't they give me a heads up? Hey,

247
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: we're going out of business, you know that.

248
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 5: No, it's like somebody just cut the cord, sold my jet, ski,

249
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 5: sold portrailer. I had a little bit of money left over,

250
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 5: and that's what I'm living on right now.

251
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: You know, I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose my home.

252
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 4: In of this year, Publisher's Clearinghouse filed for bankruptcy.

253
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 3: Wow, So if you're not old enough. Before there were

254
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 3: lotteries everywhere. The prize to win was the Publisher's clearing

255
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 3: House sweepsteak and had big celebrity ads everywhere, and you

256
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 3: won a big check per week for the rest of

257
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 3: your life, which is a cool way to get the money,

258
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 3: I always thought, because it keeps you from losing your

259
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: mind and spending it all in a drug addict with

260
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 3: a young stripper wife, a pregnant stripper wife. But but

261
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 3: if the company goes out of business, it sucks. If

262
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 3: you planned your whole life around, I'm gonna get Was

263
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 3: it five thousand a week for Layah? And they actually

264
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 3: they said him a check once a year? Sure, but

265
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: still that's fantastic. Yeah, that's fantastic. I mean, and you would,

266
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 3: you know, you would base your spending around that save

267
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 3: you the trouble. It's two hundred and seventy six thousand

268
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 3: bucks a year.

269
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, awesome and so uh and n got a business,

270
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 4: it's just over Well when the annual payment didn't arrive,

271
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 4: he and his wife contacted publisher's clearing house and a

272
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 4: representative told them the payments would resume on a quarterly schedule.

273
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 4: Then the company filed for bankruptcy, no warning. And this

274
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 4: guy had built his financial life around this, continuing hones,

275
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 4: this is a fairly reasonable thing to do.

276
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 3: Although I might have, you know, hired a lawyer briefly

277
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 3: and said, just tell me a little something about bankruptcy law.

278
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 3: If this company, I mean, is there some way I

279
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: get this forever if the company decides to quit or

280
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 3: goes out.

281
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 4: But I might spend two hundred and fifty dollars a

282
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 4: year to have an account and take a quick look

283
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 4: at their financial statements.

284
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 3: Wow, they didn't give my heads up. You got to

285
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 3: send a letter that says two things, one good news

286
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 3: and bad news. Good news, your diet is working, great,

287
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 3: you look fantastic. Number two of the bad news, we're

288
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 3: going out of business, and that whole five thousand a

289
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 3: week is over starting now bye.

290
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: So there's no oof is right?

291
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 3: Holds a dude, I mean it's so I'm gonna go out?

292
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, he's I think the guy we're talking about

293
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 4: here is seventy whoa one and he's been out of

294
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 4: the workforce. Oh, I'm sorry, this guy's sixty one. They

295
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 4: profile a handful of people. This happened to this guy's

296
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 4: sixty one, But he's been out of the workforce for

297
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 4: years and years.

298
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 3: You're not getting a job at age sixty one. It's

299
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 3: pretty well documented that if you lose your job in

300
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 3: your fifties, especially as a man, you will never work again.

301
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: That's just the way. Our current economy is a structured

302
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: so rob a liquor store or what.

303
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 3: Well, plan accordingly, I guess, but you can't blame somebody

304
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 3: for not planning accordingly when you got this lottery thing.

305
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: I think so that poor son of a gun happens

306
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: to live in Oregon.

307
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 4: Speaking of Oregon, did you know, as if we need

308
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 4: to re establish how crappy the mainstream media is, did

309
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 4: you know there have been violent protests in Portland around

310
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 4: the whole ice thing for dozens and dozens of nights,

311
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 4: every single night.

312
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: No, I had no idea.

313
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 4: You got five people in marching for trans rights. ABC

314
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 4: News will cover it, but no, haven't heard a word

315
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 4: about this. Well, you're about to stay.

316
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 3: With us, Armstrong and Getty. South Park is the most

317
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 3: current TV show that has ever been Uh, here's the

318
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 3: latest episode of South Park, which I haven't seen, Butters

319
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 3: experiences the reality of tariffs when he has to buy

320
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 3: a labooboo doll for his girlfriend's birthday.

321
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: Wow, that's funny.

322
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 3: We just sent ten F thirty five's to Puerto Rico,

323
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 3: part of the whole Hey, Venezuela, watch your p's and

324
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 3: q's effort that is going on right now, so stay

325
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 3: tuned for more infull on that.

326
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: Wow.

327
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 4: As I've often said, the best way to discredit progressive

328
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 4: policies is to enact them. Unfortunately, there is an enormous

329
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 4: cost to that city. San Francisco's really turned itself around,

330
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 4: making great progress. People are coming back, companies are running space.

331
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 4: Well done, Mayor Luri and everybody in San Francisco.

332
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: He's got a seventy five percent approval rating.

333
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, some of the other great cities the West continue

334
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 4: to be completely drowning in their own lefty lunacy. Seattle,

335
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 4: which made a couple of tentative moves towards sanity, but

336
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 4: they just shut down three of their big parks for

337
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 4: sixty days citing negative activity, which they never describe exactly

338
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 4: but it's junkies stabbing each other and shooting up and

339
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 4: taking craps in the park and letting their pit bulls

340
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 4: run around and making the parks utterly unusable for the

341
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 4: people who live there. And so the city of Seattle

342
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 4: is willing to shut it down and clean it up.

343
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 1: They're not willing to say why.

344
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 3: That description doesn't make the parks sound very pleasant. People

345
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 3: crapping in the park with pitbulls running around.

346
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: Oh, telling you that's not a good day.

347
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 4: And in down there in beautiful Portland, formerly one of

348
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 4: the great cities in the western the United States, which

349
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 4: has gone completely to hell.

350
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: As Dan Springer will.

351
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 4: Make it clear to you, there have been violent, noisy,

352
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 4: crazy Antifa driven protests there every night for dozens and

353
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 4: dozens of nights, and it is getting zero coverage in

354
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 4: the mainstream media because it's somewhat inconvenient.

355
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: Dan Springer of Fox News.

356
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 4: His audio will play now for the good of the audience.

357
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: Night after night.

358
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 6: This is the scene just outside the ice facility in Portland.

359
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,239
Speaker 6: Hundreds of residents live in apartments just feet away. They

360
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 6: routinely call police about the noise and crime.

361
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: Sit corner two in and out here they need help, but.

362
00:19:52,720 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 6: The cops did not come. Residents on their own. This week,

363
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 6: protesters brought what looked like a guillotine. Some confrontations end

364
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 6: with residents getting assaulted, first a bullhorn, then a fist.

365
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 6: No arrest was made despite the injuries.

366
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 3: Wow, we've been on the air in Portland for what

367
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 3: fifteen years something like that. First time I ever went

368
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 3: to Portland thirty years ago, I thought, this is the

369
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 3: greatest city I've ever been to.

370
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: It's like a queen San Francisco. It was just it

371
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: was so amazing.

372
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 3: And then you know that I have got my famous

373
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 3: story of taking Sam there when we went to watch

374
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 3: the eclipse of the things that we saw on the

375
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 3: street that were so disgusting.

376
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, public various befoulings of the streets. Yeah, so

377
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 4: eighty two nights, is that what he said? In a

378
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 4: row i'dvantually catch that number again.

379
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 6: Rolland on this night in late June, federal police used

380
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 6: tear gas and flashbanks.

381
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: Again no Portland police in sight.

382
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 6: It came out later in court that one officer told another,

383
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 6: if it were not ice, we could assist directly. Julie

384
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 6: Parrish sued the city to force police to enforce local laws.

385
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 7: This is a full on abdication of police duty in

386
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 7: a four block radius that impacts some of the most

387
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 7: vulnerable Oregonians that we have. Now they've said, We're just

388
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 7: going to let violent rioters do this for eighty straight

389
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 7: nights and we don't care.

390
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 6: Portland Police responded. We take these concerns seriously. At the

391
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 6: same time, we are committed to protecting individuals' rights to

392
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 6: express themselves peacefully.

393
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 5: The Partland approach is pathetic, shottish, and if you enable

394
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 5: people to behave the way the protesters have and wreck

395
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 5: the neighborhood for everyone else, they will come back and

396
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 5: wreck it the next night.

397
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 4: Listen, we're pro cop around here, but that statement by

398
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 4: some spokeshole is embarrassing.

399
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: We take it very seriously. No, you clearly don't.

400
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 4: But we also want to protect people's right to demonstrate peacefully.

401
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 4: How many laws are they breaking it's unpermitted. I guarantee

402
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 4: you that they're breaking noise ordinances literally literally breaking stuff.

403
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 4: They're defacing private and public property, they're blocking traffic. Stop

404
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 4: with your But we want to protect people's rights to

405
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 4: protest peacefully. What are you talking about?

406
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 3: You know, I was happy to hear Elon the other day,

407
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 3: and he was talking about his trans kid and how

408
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 3: he lost his son and how he is going to

409
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 3: spend a lot of money taking on the woke mind virus.

410
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: This is part of the wolk mind virus.

411
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 3: And I'm glad Elon's on the right side of it

412
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 3: because more people need to be aware of it. It

413
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 3: needs to be combated somehow. It's dangerous. It is such

414
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 3: a dangerous crazy philosophy.

415
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 4: Right, hey, and Portland PD officers, we know you guys

416
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 4: want to do the right thing.

417
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: We do.

418
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 4: Drop us a note, mail bag at Armstrong a geddy

419
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 4: dot com and email. We have never in how long

420
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 4: have you been doing this? It's discouraging. I'm getting old.

421
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 4: We have never gotten a source in trouble. Never mail

422
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,479
Speaker 4: bag at Armstrong ageddy dot com. What is the brass

423
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 4: telling you?

424
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:05,479
Speaker 1: Guys? Anyway? Rolling on and I tell you what again

425
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: to my opening statement about discrediting progressive policies, but the

426
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: enormous cost here's an example.

427
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 6: The protest chaos, which began with riots aimed at social

428
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 6: justice in twenty twenty, has severely damaged Portland's reputation. It's

429
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 6: now ranked by the nonpartisan Urban Land Institute as the

430
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 6: second worst place in America to invest with six and

431
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 6: a half million square feet of commercial vacancy, The top

432
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 6: twenty office towers have lost fifty seven percent of their

433
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 6: combined value in five years.

434
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 1: Wow.

435
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 4: Wow, then go ahead played the last clip. Michael, It's short.

436
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 6: Portland's elected leaders ignored our requests for a comment about

437
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 6: what some are calling the city's debt spiral. As for

438
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 6: those nightly protest, police admitted to us that they have

439
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 6: not made a single arrest out there since June eighteenth.

440
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: That's incredible.

441
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 4: That is incredible, And in the people, and interestingly, it's

442
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 4: you know, not rich people, people of color, whatever, who

443
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 4: are pissed off.

444
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: They're like, would you please enforce the law.

445
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 3: Well, the first and only place I'd ever heard the

446
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 3: term death spiral for a city was San Francisco, and

447
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 3: we talked about it for a long time. It finally

448
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 3: got so bad they elected a guy who was willing

449
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 3: to do something about it, and the people were willing

450
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 3: to let him do something about it. And now San

451
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 3: Francisco it's completely different than it was a couple of

452
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 3: years ago. I can attest to that with my own

453
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 3: eyeballs having seen it change in that amount of time,

454
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 3: and he's got a seventy five percent approval rating. How

455
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 3: bad will Portland have to get before people are willing

456
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 3: to turn it around?

457
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 4: And danger danger Portland and Seattle. If you haven't thought

458
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 4: of this, San Francisco was either in and of itself

459
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 4: or by versue of being right next to Silicon Valley,

460
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 4: the world engine of technology. You're not so San Francisco

461
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 4: could come roaring back because all of the AI growth.

462
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,719
Speaker 4: They they got bail out by you know, great smart

463
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 4: policy changes. But the energy that is reinflating the balloon

464
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 4: of San Francisco.

465
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: Is not everywhere.

466
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and San Francisco used to be the number one

467
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,479
Speaker 3: tour spot in the world. I think it was Paris

468
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 3: and then San Francisco. How long will it take before

469
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 3: the world catches on that you can go back to

470
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 3: San Francisco. It'll do damage for a very very long

471
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 3: time for tourism. I mean, you cause damage that will

472
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 3: take decades to fix. Even if, like today, you went

473
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 3: full ly Rudy Giuliani in the nineties with Portland, it

474
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 3: would take a very long time to turn things.

475
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: Around, right, right, It's just outrageous.

476
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 3: How would you I got a question for you after

477
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 3: we talk about prize picks. I got a question for

478
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 3: you about the Wolke mind virus. So I don't know

479
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 3: what your prize picks. I don't think you could pick

480
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 3: a more or less on spitting incidents in game one of.

481
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 4: The NFL season is not included in Prize picks. Fabulous

482
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,479
Speaker 4: slate of player stats.

483
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: I mean, if you had more or less on one,

484
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 3: it was more there were two spitting incidents, it would

485
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 3: seem anywhoor or lightning delays. But anyway, in terms of

486
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 3: the players, all that stuff is really really cool. For instance,

487
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow, who's really the odds on favorite to win

488
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 3: the MVP this year, and most cute as a button

489
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 3: more or less two and a half tds this weekend.

490
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,439

Speaker 1: That's code Armstrong. You get fifty in lineups.

501
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 4: You don't need to win, just after you play your

00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 4: first five dollars lineup Prize picks.

503
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: It's good to be right. How do you like?

504
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 3: How would you, in a sentence describe the woke mind

505
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 3: virus or.

506
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: Just the all of it.

507
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 3: The it's got to do with flying in the face

508
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 3: of reality always, whether it's boys and girls, sports or

509
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 3: nobody can gather anywhere during COVID unless you're protesting cops

510
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 3: than you can. I mean, just all these nonsensical things, right,

511
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 3: well to describe.

512
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 4: It in a sentence, I mean, those are great examples

513
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 4: of what it looks like in the real world.

514
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: It is a.

515
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 4: Far leftist effort to tear down the institutions of Western

516
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,479
Speaker 4: civilization using fake, quasi.

517
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: Moral arguments, right.

518
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 3: So the moral arguments are the important part though, because

519
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 3: I do believe that at the top it's being orchestrated

520
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 3: by people who just want to tear down America. But

521
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 3: the people that buy into it aren't thinking about that.

522
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 3: So that's where the virus part comes in. It just

523
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 3: you just glom onto the well. This seems like the right,

524
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 3: nice thing to do. I don't know, right, And a

525
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 3: lot of people throw around the term useful idiots for

526
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 3: the people who don't know that they are executing the

527
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 3: plans of uh Michelle Foucaut, the French uh, you know,

528
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 3: neo Marxist philosopher.

529
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: But I don't.

530
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 4: I don't want to insult anybody. I'd much rather change

531
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 4: their minds. Well, I do want to insult some people,

532
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 4: but not those people. You have been duped into thinking

533
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 4: they are trying to execute or create a.

534
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: More moral, decent world. They're not.

535
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 4: They lie constantly, They distort reality. They turn slavery as

536
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 4: ugly into all you white people sit there and will

537
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 4: tell you how all white people are evil and colonialism

538
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 4: blah blah blah.

539
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: Oh.

540
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 4: And by the way, we now run these institutions. And

541
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 4: that's the bottom line. The woke thing, the postmodernist thing,

542
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 4: the neo Marxist thing, it's all a set of techniques

543
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 4: to capture control of institutions.

544
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought all that would would go out the window,

545
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 3: hopefully when the anti Jewish stuff started happening.

546
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: On college campuses.

547
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, that whole microaggressions thing was all crap and

548
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 3: list it's against the white man, the jew whoever?

549
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: Right.

550
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 4: No, No, that stuff is just a tool. They don't

551
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 4: mean any of it. Well, the activists don't mean any

552
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 4: of it. They just it's a tool. But the people

553
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 4: who fall for it and think they're doing the right thing.

554
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: Actually do believe all that stuff. Why was there so

555
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: much spitting in the game last night? Is it going

556
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: to be a new thing.

557
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 4: Is that going to be part of a hocker shocker?

558
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 4: NFL fields slick with spit? It's disgusting.

559
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,479
Speaker 3: Do you care about the fact that we now call

560
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 3: the Department Offense the Department of War?

561
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: Not really me neither.

562
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 4: Initially I thought, why are we There's no point, there's

563
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 4: no need. It's kind of militaristic, blah blah blah. But

564
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 4: then I thought, you know, the term defense is almost

565
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 4: never used. Look at that gleaming new defense ship full

566
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 4: of a bunch of defensiers who are ready to defend

567
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 4: America in future defenses like they did in World War

568
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 4: World Defense two.

569
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 3: I hope we don't end up at defense with China. Yeah,

570
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 3: you're right, right, more stuff all the way state here.

571
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the NFL season is here, and with all the

572
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 2: drinking at the games and bars and even at home,

573
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 2: it's important to stay hydrated, which explains this new added

574
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 2: check this out.

575
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 8: Hey fans, football is back, which means tailgating, beers and

576
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 8: shots shots, shots. But remember it's important to stay high

577
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 8: and drink water. And that's why you can always count

578
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 8: on us, of course light as a longtime course light drinker.

579
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 8: I resemble that remark. That's one of the things I

580
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 8: liked about it. You can drink twenty of them because

581
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 8: it was mostly a can of water. NFL tonight the

582
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 8: Chiefs and Chargers both likely playoff teams playing each other.

583
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 8: But the main thing is that they're playing in Brazil

584
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 8: and it's on YouTube, so it's in a country where

585
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 8: they don't really watch NFL and I don't know how

586
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 8: many people are going to be there or care about

587
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 8: the game.

588
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 3: And then it's on YouTube. It's a first YouTube game.

589
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 3: They bought a package thingy, like a lot of different

590
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 3: outlets have. There are more different platforms for watching NFL

591
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 3: games this year than there ever have been before. You

592
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 3: don't have to be a YouTube subscriber anybody can watch

593
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 3: it on YouTube, although it was just a month or

594
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 3: so ago. Remember when Taylor Swift announced her new album

595
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 3: she was on the Kelsey Brothers podcast. YouTube crashed because

596
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 3: one and a half million people tuned into that when

597
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 3: it was live. And the average NFL game gets about

598
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 3: eighteen million people. So hopefully they've beefed up something. I

599
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 3: don't know the technique. Yeah, what was the other super

600
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 3: high profile Uh? Oh, it was the first NFL game

601
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 3: they did well that And remember the Mike Tyson the

602
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 3: Mike Tyson fight they crashed?

603
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: Was that apple or whoever that was? That didn't work

604
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: all of the viewers of favor. Oh did you see

605
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson's going to fight Floyd Mayweather? Did you see that?

606
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: They announced that yesterday? Go ahead?

607
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 3: Uh, Tyson is orige. He's going to be sixty when

608
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 3: the fight happens. Uh. Back to the football game, so

609
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 3: they're they're playing in Brazil. I didn't even following the

610
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 3: thing about new globes and new maps. Lately, we've been

611
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 3: the world has been using the same globes and maps.

612
00:32:55,400 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: Since Magellan was floating around the Earth.

613
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 3: And we have an upstate my globe, and we haven't

614
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 3: updated them, and they're way out of proportion, and and

615
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 3: and and all kinds of different stuff, and so they're

616
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 3: put they're trying to get new maps going. So you

617
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 3: see that Africa is way way bigger than the United States,

618
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 3: whereas in most globes and maps that you ever see

619
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 3: on a school wall, it's not, for instance, so but that.

620
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: But I was looking up when the game is.

621
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 3: It's actually at nine o'clock local time, even though it's

622
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 3: going to be on at eight o'clock East Coast time.

623
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 3: For some reason, in my mind, I picture South America

624
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 3: being straight down from America, but it's way east of US.

625
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: You go down in way east, so whatever, it's kind

626
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: of over yonder.

627
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 3: But so they're gonna be playing it from like nine

00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 3: to midnight local time there.

629
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't know whatever. I don't know how many fans

630
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: off in De Rio at midnight.

631
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 4: That sounds like delightful and totally safe recreation.

632
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 3: Well, I know some people involved with some of the teams,

633
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 3: and they are leaving immediately after the game. As far

634
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 3: as I know, everybody went down there and you were

635
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 3: not allowed to leave the hotel, and they're leaving as

636
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 3: soon as it's over. So if you're a fan, I

637
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 3: guess you go down there and enjoy San Paulo and

638
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 3: hope you don't get mugged. If you're actually with the teams,

639
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 3: you're huddling up in your hotel.

640
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:24,439
Speaker 4: Oh it's in su Polo, Window, which is an enormous city.

641
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: One of the biggest cities on Earth. Yeah.

642
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 4: Every time I'm reminded of the population of it, I'm shocked.

643
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 1: Yeah it is. Yeah, San Paulo, Brazil.

644
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 3: The only thing I know about it is that great, big,

645
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 3: giant Angel Christ statue thing that they got high up

646
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 3: on that hill. You see that anytime they show Zampola.

647
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 3: I would like to see that with my own eyes.

648
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 3: But I also do my son. My brother was there

649
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 3: with his daughters for the Taylor Swift concert last year

650
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 3: and said it was super sketchy around there.

651
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I believe that.

652
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 3: But it will be interesting to see if YouTube crashes

653
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 3: or not. And they've got some YouTube stars like mister

654
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 3: Beast is somehow involved. Various people that have huge presences

655
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 3: on YouTube are involved in the broadcast in various ways.

656
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

657
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 4: Interesting, you know. I I you learn yearn long to

658
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 4: go back to London and spend more time in Britain.

659
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 4: I really enjoyed it, and I would love to go

660
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 4: to a soccer game there. But I would not go

661
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 4: there to watch an American sport, I don't think. Although

662
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 4: you know, a buddy of mine's a huge Chiefs fan,

663
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 4: and he went to see the Chiefs in London, thinking yeah,

664
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 4: I'm going to see the Chiefs and I'm going to

665
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 4: see London, which makes perfect sense.

666
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would.

667
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 3: It seems a little odd if I if I get

668
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 3: the chance, if I'm ever in Brazil, it's not going

669
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 3: to be to watch a football game I could watch

670
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 3: here personally. Yeah, yeah, I had another question, but I'll

671
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 3: save it.

672
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: So we do four hours every single day. If you

673
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 1: don't get every.

674
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 3: Segment every hour, you be held against my will. You

675
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 3: should look for our podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.

676
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,879

Speaker 3: podcast the last several of the days that includes some squares.

678

Speaker 3: If you've ever wanted to hear Joe swear, you can

679
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 3: tune into the One More Thing podcast.

680
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 4: Or spend five minutes with me in real life. Not really,

681
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 4: I try not to be too foul mouthed.
