That home run from Shoeyotani 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.080 of the Dodgers. Who's going to be the playoff pitcher 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.200 for Game three if there's a Game three. 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:59.320 So that's just amazing. He's the leadoff hitter. Yeah, and 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:00.000 he's the pitcher. 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.720 There are only I forget how many players that have 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:10.720 ever hit one that far at Dodger Stadium, and then 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:11.399 they've all done it. 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:15.240 Once he's done it. I think seventeen times they said, wow, 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:17.560 it's just stunning. His stats are incredible. 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.080 He had fifty five home runs this year. Nobody talks 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.800 about it because the damn steroid era. He really got 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.560 cheated on that, because that would have been a household 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.600 conversation if it weren't for the steroid era. 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.440 Right, Yeah, it just changed everybody's perception of the numbers. 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:37.080 Right. Anyhow, I was enjoying watching some baseball instead of 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:38.039 paying attention. 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.360 At well, the news was all shut down talk, and 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.240 I just do not care about that story. 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:43.880 So I don't know, I know, watch baseball. 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:47.480 My wife is calling me again for more reassurance during 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:51.400 the government's shutdown. She's like so many people, just so upset, 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.800 so fearful, just so I'm sure of what the future 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:55.760 may hold for us. 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.200 You know, she's probably thinking, why did I bring children 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.200 into a world where there would be a temporary government 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.360 shut down that nobody notices this here's one of my 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.760 favorite things. Trump tweeted out a picture from the conversations 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.959 they were having late last night that amounted to nothing, 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.840 So Trump sitting there. He took it himself with his 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.320 own phone and posted, But Trump sitting there at his 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:22.000 desk with Schumer and Jeffries and Johnson. 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:22.720 The Leader of the House and everything. 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.600 But he's got Trump twenty twenty eight hats sitting on 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:32.679 its desk, right. I mean, that is unbelievable. It's unbelievable. 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.720 I mean, he's a guy whose supporters stormed the Capitol once. 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.079 Maybe you remember that because they didn't like the result 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.760 of that election. And he's got a hat suggesting he's 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.480 going to run for a third term as just a 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:45.320 broken people. 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.320 I mean, it's just the world we live in now 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:48.160 is just amazing. 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.320 I just read a brilliant piece by Holman Jenkins in 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.640 the Wall Street Journal. It was just pointing out how 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:58.440 many of the freakises Trump gets involved in, like the 0:02:58.520 --> 0:02:59.320 Jimmy Kimmel thing. 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:00.560 It's pro wrestling. 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:06.280 Oh absolutely, Jimmy Kimmel is a pro wrestling opponent. Just 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.160 Trump understands. Okay, here's another great chapter in the the 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.800 you know, the the drama that we're unwinding here. 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:16.200 And it's good. Kimmel wins and Trump wins, and we 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:16.720 I'll move on. 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.440 Here's the story I wanted to get on, and this 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.440 is from the San Francisco Chronicle, and I couldn't. I'm 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:24.800 not wearing a hat, but if I were, I would 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.320 tip it as high as I could tipp it, or 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.840 however you tip a hat for them doing this story headline. 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:35.080 San Francisco's first equity weed store was an epic failure. 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.000 City hall insiders still may pocket millions. 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:39.360 Wow. 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:40.960 And the reason I wanted to do this story is 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.720 it's a classic socialism story. It's a classic the reason 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:50.120 socialism doesn't work will never work. And idiots like the 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.040 people that are supporting Mom Dami in New York just well, 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.360 you're just too young to know this or stupid or something. 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:58.120 The cannabis shop on. 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.400 Storied Hate Street had it all real estate, star power, 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:05.920 political clout, and social justice. Then things got ugly. The 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:11.840 idea of it to start with is amazing. This was 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:15.440 going to be the first permit holder. Remember when weed 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:18.000 became legal, it was all about, you know, who gets 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.080 to have the permits to open up weed stores? And 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.240 they're going to be limited on you know how many 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:23.719 per street and all that sort of stuff, just like 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.760 a liquor store or anything like that. And Hate in 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.240 the Hate Ashbury area big tourist area. If you've never 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.840 been to San Francisco, tons of foot traffic. This would 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.360 be a big hippieville. This would be a big deal. 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.279 I mean, how many people would be coming from around 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.719 the world that would love buying weed on Hate in 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:39.520 San Francisco? 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:44.800 Right, sad people who imagine some sort of hippie utopia 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:46.960 and just want to absorb a little bit of that, 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.559 you know. Three and a half generation later, the first 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:56.680 permit holder in the city's Social Equity program, which reserved 0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:01.440 cannabis business licenses for people unfairly burdened by the War 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:05.000 on drugs. So the only way you could get a 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:07.560 license to open up one of these gold mine weed 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:12.359 stores was if you were part of the crowd unfairly 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:17.440 burdened by the War on drugs, a drug dealer, so 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.880 they had experience. I liked the policy makes sense. 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:21.880 Well, it was just you had to be black because 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:25.440 the idea or of a pock a person of color, 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:31.000 because throughout history, according to this, people of color have 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.320 been unfairly targeted in the War on drugs and suffered 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:39.279 and to and this social equity weird situation for people 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.440 who believe this is true that by helping some dude 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.400 today that had nothing to do with what was going 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.760 on thirty years ago, you've somehow fixed the world. 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:50.839 I just I don't even understand that concept. 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.520 So people of color, how about like dudes and dresses, 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.200 trans crowd, did they get pot licenses too? 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.080 This would be an experiment the store on hate to 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:05.000 see if legalization could atone for decades of racist law 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:09.160 enforcement accesses and empower small businesses, some owned by members 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.480 of the city's dwindling black populace. 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.360 You gotta like it already, right, this social experiment. 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.359 There's another great example of luxury beliefs coming up in 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.160 a gender bending madness update next hour, stay tuned. 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:27.000 So this dude got the license and didn't sell it. 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:29.600 As the only weed retailer that was going to be 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.080 allowed on the main drag of hate Asbury thanks to 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.520 the strict zoning laws, he resisted temptation to sell out. 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.680 He said, he rejected cash offers from some really big 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:40.839 dogs out there that wanted to buy his permit once 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:45.240 he got it. Well, he ended up being a big dog. 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.720 Is the reason they hang hung onto it. We find 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:51.120 out at the end of this. I hope every other 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:52.839 person of color can look at this and see that 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.839 it can really happen. Yeah, if you grew up with 0:06:56.040 --> 0:07:00.800 the mayor of San Francisco. So he literally was friends 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.200 with Mayor Breed since he was a kid. 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.920 Their whole lives in his funny coincidence. 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:11.360 Yeah, and his contacts in the in the uh Mayor's office, 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:12.960 and so they're trying to figure out how are they 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.120 going to dole out these permits in a fair way, 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.160 and they came up with all kinds of different ways, 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.560 how you could do it and a lottery. Know somebody 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.800 could rig a lottery. No, we could do it this way. No, 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:23.800 somebody could rig that. I know what we'll do.

But they got millions and millions 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.320 of dollars through all kinds of different government things that 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:25.520 went on, and. 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:29.080 The cronyism and the connected get rich. That is socialism, 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:35.920 every single every single time. Amid the good vibes, there 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:37.640 was little to indicate what was to come. 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.600 That the store would go belly up in little more 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.320 than four years, that the great expectations of the equity 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.480 program and legal cannabis would crumble along with it, and 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.959 that despite the failure, Richard that's the guy's name who 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.839 grew up with Meyer Breed and his partners would still 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:56.320 be poised to pocket millions with taxpayers footing the bill. 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.400 Good for the Chronicle for doing that story, But that 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:06.000 is what happens every single time. And socialism, the people 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.120 that claim that it's all about fairness and equity and 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:13.280 the downtrodden, it's always their buddies or somebody who bribes 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.240 them that gets the cool deal and gets rich, and 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:18.079 it doesn't help anybody. 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:18.960 Right. 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.200 The whole argument of the reality of equity is it 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:28.120 is a quasi faith. It's a fake moral argument for 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.520 why some people should get special treatment from the government, 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.880 and that always turns out to be the people well 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:39.319 connected with those in power for whatever reason, for whatever kinship, 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:44.000 whether it's skin color or political philosophy, or they're just cronies. 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:49.359 But yeah, equity is a fake argument for special favors. 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:49.600 From the government. 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.520 They interviewed a whole bunch of people because there were 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.840 some big time of people that were trying to get 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:59.440 that particular license to open up a weed store.

That's simply safe dot com slash armstrong. 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.040 There's no safe like simply safe. 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.199 Why does the term crony capitalism exist but not the 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:55.240 term crony socialism? Maybe because you don't need it, because 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.199 all socialism is crony. It's the whole thing. 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:02.360 Yeah, but you're right, that is that is useful though, 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.120 because that's exactly what that's to be tattooed with. That 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:09.160 that was crony socialism. Yeah, it is redundant. 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:09.640 You're right. 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.000 But obviously we're in a situation right now for reasons 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:16.040 we've discussed many times where our young people are absolutely 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.360 primed to fall for the giant scam that is socialism. 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:20.920 Oh yeah, so we got to talk about of it. 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:22.840 Oh and wait, you see what happens in New York 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:24.920 when mom dommy wins. And I was listening to some 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.319 people who follow this closely. He is going to win, 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.920 even with Eric Adams getting out, He's gonna win when 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.200 you have government grocery stores check and see who got 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.720 the license to open up the grocery store and see 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.280 what their connection is to the powerful. Will probably be 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.679 just like this weed story we told you from San Francisco. 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:43.600 Oh yeah, blah blah blah. 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.360 Stacy Abrams twelve billion dollars blah blah blah. 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.280 Please we got more. 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.800 Pete Hegzeth that you haven't heard from his big speech 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.640 to the fat generals yesterday, that we want to play 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.440 for you. It's pretty interesting, a conversation starter. I definitely 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:03.280 want to talk about the lift driver I had from Syria, Libya, 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.280 Libya a couple of days ago. 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:08.079 Is really interesting about the whole immigrant thing. Anyway, lots 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:13.000 on the way stay here post. 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.600 Yesterday on truth Social President Trump announced that he will 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.960 impose a tariff on any country that does not make 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:22.080 its furniture in the US, which explains why Ikea is 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.640 now selling meatballs for ninety nine bucks apiece. 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.840 That's funny. Kind of got lost in the hole. 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.360 There's been so much going on the tariffs on furniture 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:39.160 and movies, tariff on foreign made movies that's unimplementable. 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:46.280 A couple of not like hardcore newsy notes can't wait 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.000 to hear the pete hexits stuff. 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.680 Next segment, which is what we're gonna do. 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:55.440 Hearing from a bunch of active duty folks from you know, 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:59.240 privates in corporals to to read an email from a 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:05.040 colonel who solutely love it. Actual soldier, sailors, Marines, Airman, 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.400 Coast Guard haven't forgotten about you, guys and gals. 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.800 They love this stuff. So number one. 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.240 Once in a while, I come across emails that say, essentially, guys, 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.840 I wrote you this, or I asked you this, and 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.160 I know you have different priorities or your corporate fathers, 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:27.920 or I think you stop. Stop stop, I didn't see it. Okay, 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.560 we get hundreds of emails. Don't be but hurt that 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:32.400 I missed yours. 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.280 I just missed it. Follow up if it's important. 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:40.480 Secondly, I'm looking at speaking of email, we I am 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:45.000 on a bunch of different news newsletters from our favorite 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:49.440 news coverage organizations, from the National Review to the Free Press, 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.240 to the Washington Free Beacon to the even you know, 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:55.200 the bigfoot Media, the New York Times, Washington Post, et cetera, 0:14:56.120 --> 0:15:02.480 and every damn one of them. They're big newsletter. Their 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:07.320 headline was welcome to another Shutdown from the excellent Jim 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:11.000 Garritty at the Morning Jolt, at the National Review. I'm 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.000 trying to find the rest of them, but you get 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.920 the idea. Every single one of them was government shut down. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.800 What to expect with the government shut down? The stakes 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:21.760 for the GOP every single. 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:26.240 What's interesting because you write this stuff with the idea 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:29.560 that your reader's viewers, you know, get up in the 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.440 morning and you know, want to know what's going on. 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.760 I don't think people in real life give a crap 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.000 about this, right right. 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:41.480 Here's even the Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro, He's a genius. 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:48.040 His outfit Government shutdown follow live updates? What and here's 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:49.680 my philosophical takeaway from this. 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:56.080 Live updates? Oh my god, the media. 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:01.680 Thinks the government is the United States of America. 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.800 I think they the media reports on the government. 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:09.640 The government has become so omnipresent in our lives. The 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.880 news is now about the government. I've years it's always 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.400 going to be about it somewhat, But I've thought this 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:15.800 for years. 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.440 They regularly think that people are paying attention to stuff, 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:22.040 but that they aren't. But this is the biggest disconnect 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:27.960 between the performative politicians in the media and the people 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:32.440 of all it's the shutdown thing. They apparently think that 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.640 out in the country people are discussing this and are 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.680 worried about. Like I've lived through several of these. I've 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.200 never had a single human being ever bring it up. 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:44.240 Ever. Yeah, definitely worth a read of Mark Levivich's again 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:49.480 that name is Livevivihitch his book This Town about Washington, 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:51.760 d C. And the government media complex and how they're 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:55.840 all part of one big industry and the unholy, unhealthy 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.800 part of it is people. They grow up with it, 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:00.800 they hear it, they see it, and a lot of 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:05.760 people start to think the government is the country, and 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:09.639 they don't understand that we should bump up against the 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:14.600 government once every couple of weeks, maybe not like four 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:16.160 times a day every day. 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.600 That's not what we're supposed to be. 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:22.640 It's interesting you mentioned all those conservative publications that wrote 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.320 about the shutdown, because that ruins what I'm about to say, 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:27.320 because it doesn't fit without I'm a bug to say, 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.040 but I've been thinking that most of the mainstream media 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:33.280 coverage is based on if you're the sort of person 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.760 that when you hear the government word government, you think, 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:39.840 oh cool, an entity that helps me and gives me stuff, 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:42.240 as opposed to the way. When I hear the word government, 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.600 I think something that gets in my way and takes things. 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:49.040 The word government to me means makes it harder for 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:50.800 me to do something I want to do and take 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:51.600 stuff away from me. 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:55.639 Get out of the way, Boomer, even though you're an 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:59.159 actual gen X guy. Ah, Because it used to be 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:04.080 we had on small government, small spending party, and then 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:05.080 one big spending party. 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:06.640 We now have two big spending parties. 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:09.520 Pete Haggzeth, Secretary of War, gave a heck of a 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:12.520 speech yesterday. Some of the stuff you haven't heard it's really. 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:17.880 Good Armstrong and Geeddy, So lots of things we want 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:18.119 to get to. 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.400 We're gonna play some Pete hagg Zeth from his big 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:22.440 speech he gave to the generals yesterday, which has gotten 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:24.040 a heck of a lot of attention and gotten a 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.040 bunch of emails and texts about that. I want to 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:29.159 talk about my immigrant lift driver that I had and 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.120 why this can't be the focus of our whole immigration 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:35.080 discussion to a greater extent, and a bunch of other 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:38.040 stuff I hope you can stick around for, yeah. 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:42.240 Including a exciting celebrity gender bending Madness. 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:43.240 Update celebrity version. 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:48.560 Yes, Harry Potter fans Harmione Granger gets a right cross 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:54.720 to the chops from JK. Rowling, so stay tuned for that. 0:18:55.119 --> 0:19:01.199 Okay, fictional character gets punched by the author of the book. 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:04.280 It's a metaphor. You know what a metaphor is. It's 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:09.159 it's not literally true anyway. So we're we're gonna do 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:12.000 Pete here, some more pete stuff. Yeah, I just I 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:14.600 thought these were different. I was. I was misled by 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:15.720 my own something or other. 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:25.440 I hate when that happens. I've been scanning our email reaction. Uh, 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:30.199 and it is among actual fighting people universally positive. Just 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:36.120 came across another one a career Army Army and Army Reserve. 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:43.360 When I first came back from my basic training, a 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:45.600 report to my unit, all fit and ready to be 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:47.359 all I can be. But we had a captain who's 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:49.639 the one in charge calling the shots for our training. 0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:52.760 I can only see even back then, they found ways 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:56.600 around the fitness requirements. Just he's making the point that's 0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.520 very lax, very slack. What I'm trying to say is 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:04.600 this fitness, this thing is nothing new. But they need 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:06.119 to get it done. I'm summarizing. 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.120 Okay, let's hear a little pete from yesterday. 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:12.000 This means at the War Department, first and foremost, we 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:19.160 must restore a ruthless, dispassionate, and common sense application of standards. 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:21.480 I don't want my. 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:25.040 Son serving alongside troops who are out of shape or 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.480 in combat unit with females who can't meet the same 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:31.000 combat arms physical standards as men. Our troops who are 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:34.160 not fully proficient on their assigned weapons, platform or task, 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:35.879 or under a. 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:40.119 Leader who was the first but not the best. 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:45.040 Standards must be uniform, gender neutral. 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:47.000 And high. 0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:54.560 If not, they're not standards, They're just suggestions, suggestions that 0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:57.320 get our sons and daughters killed. 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:01.560 How did we get so off track that we ever 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:05.280 allowed I know they do this for cops and firefighters, 0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:07.240 but how did we ever get so off track that 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:10.479 we ever allowed different standards based on your gender. 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:12.800 That's insane. 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:15.280 Yeah, I know, it makes no sense in a ra 0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:17.800 Are you doing the same job, yes, same standards? 0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:19.359 Next topic? Please? 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:24.159 Does that come out of the whole Clinton era nineties 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:26.520 whatever vibe. 0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:28.280 It's just it's. 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:31.240
