WEBVTT - Exodus & The Death Pants 0:00:02.440 --> 0:00:06.760 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:11.480 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and 0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:17.840 Gatty and he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.680 Facebook parent company Meta is more than doubling the size 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.920 of its data center in Richland Parish, a fifty billion 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:34.600 dollar project so big ten power plants need to be 0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:38.199 built to supply it with electricity. The governor, praising the 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:42.160 economic impact, is going to create seventy five hundred construction jobs, 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.840 more than a thousand permanent, high paying jobs. 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.960 Nearly nineteen hundred additional indirect jobs. 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:51.320 The data center could eventually use six times more power 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.040 per day than the entire city of New Orleans on 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:55.440 the hottest day of summer. 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:01.200 So the whole data center debate thing because AI is 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:04.240 the future of the world and we're gonna need all 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:08.080 these big computer power plants to keep everything going and 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:12.240 everything like that. Elon's planning to build them up in space. 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:14.360 That's what he's going to do. But as far as 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.399 the ones on the ground, I came across a post. 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:17.840 I don't know if this is true or not, but 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:20.679 some smart person explaining on how so much of this 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:25.760 is driven by China. They started this argument in the 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:30.520 United States. It's a whole bunch of Chinese bots convincing 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.800 people that you're gonna lose all your water and your 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.560 electricity bills will go sky high and all this sort 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:38.080 of stuff if you end up with a data center 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:38.559 in your town. 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.120 Yeah, Russia and China are both financing a lot of 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:44.360 this stuff. It's crazy because. 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:48.440 They don't want us to have the lead in AI. 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:51.880 At the same time that politician rattling off how many 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:53.640 jobs would be created and the rest of it, I'm 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.000 reminded of what you said that doctor wants to told 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.120 you ask your patient how much they exercise? Cut that 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:02.280 in half, ask them how much they drink double that. Yeah, 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:06.600 you really have to do that for this factory well 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:10.080 trade fifty thousand, high paying permanent job. 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.320 No one never does. That reminds me. I have a 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:16.080 physical today and I had to fill out the questionnaire 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:18.360 before the physical today. I want to talk about that later. 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:22.799 You talk about some questions that your doctor and your 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:28.000 health people have no need to be asking whatsoever? Just crazy. 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:32.680 That's socialism, isn't it wolkness or dei or something. 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:38.040 What were you to say? What's sodomy and what's not doctor. Oh, 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:39.920 my god, that reminds me. I got to be vague 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.560 about this, But my daughter and a law school friend 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.120 have visited fairly recently, and this gal, oh, she is 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:52.640 so bright, so dedicated. She is on the track of 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:59.600 prosecuting child molesters and people who victimized children. It's really 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.399 different work, and it's tough on your side. By God, 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.880 she is dedicated and doing great work. But she uh, 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.480 and I'm gonna I'm gonna keep this gentlemanly, and I 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:12.880 beg everyone involved in the program to do the same. 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:19.280 There is a huge overlap between those who had victimize 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.800 children and those who are into shall we call it 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:31.040 barnyard encounters? Really yes, because it's all about taboos and 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:34.880 the farthest you can go, Oh, they're just they're triggers, 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.960 no longer tripped by anything within the reasonably could be 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.480 called normal sexual activity. 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:46.840 Wow. Yeah, huge cross that. I didn't know that. I 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.520 thought some always all my life, I've thought their brains 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.600 were wired from something that happened in adolescent something or other. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.080 But for a lot of people, it's just outside of 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.080 the norm. So, whether it's the awfulness of kids and 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.360 I think you should be extracted, by the way for that, executed. 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:07.560 I'm bine with executing you for doing that. Or barnyard animals. Yeah, indeed, 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.720 do we know which barnyard animals are most likely? Oh? 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:14.040 They are a handful that seem to be frequent choices, 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.280 the classic the sheep, of course. 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:24.240 So often chickens make the news. Chickens, Yes, feel like 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.640 that gets into the news way too often. On a 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:31.560 bun Yes, in my bed, No, let's see your bed. Yes, 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:38.680 they usually bring the animal to the bed. I think 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.760 you go to their place? Yes, as it were? 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:47.599 Yes, yes, yes, And she told an absolutely fascinating story 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:52.200 about one. A couple of fellows got arrested three times 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:58.080 for consorting with equines horses. But oh see, I probably 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:02.320 shouldn't even started down this road. Turned out they had 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:07.200 to turn them loose, though, because the statue only called 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:15.720 for pictures to be arrested and these fellas were catching what. Yes, 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.359 this is I'm you know what, I apologize. Let's just 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:20.279 Michael rewind me. 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.640 No, no, no, Michael's chomp. Michael is chomping at the bit 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:25.400 for his favorite joke when it comes back to. 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.120 Make them wear a bit because It reminds me of 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:28.880 some of his ex girlfriends. 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.560 Wow, Michael, go ahead, means name exactly. 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:37.080 I knew you were loaded for that one. Oh gosh, 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.520 what the heck? Grod data centers? Did your daughter and 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:44.400 her friend wear the death pants? Because they're very popular 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.160 with young women. We'll get to that story coming up 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:46.680 in a little bit. 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:47.559 Stay tuned. 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.520 The other data center story that I found was super interesting. 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.359 The journal was reporting yesterday about all these folks in 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:58.520 rural I think it was Gosh, was it Virginia, where 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.200 they're pretty uh willing to let the data centers get built. 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:06.440 But they highlighted this couple, a couple of their hog 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.920 farmers barely getting by, and they sold their X number acres. 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:11.600 I can't remember how much it was, but they got 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.000 twenty two million dollars. 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:21.440 Yeah, I I can see the pushback on this. Uh. 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:25.880 I'm from small town America and my experience has been Yeah, 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.520 people get excited about the revenue when some big company 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.280 comes to town, but it changes your town for the 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:32.920 worst in so many different ways. 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.640 So well, after I get twenty two million dollars, I'm 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:36.720 not going to be in that town. 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:38.320 Well you're yeah, you're just. 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.160 Go off to the islands and consort with the with 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:43.640 the j LO as just. 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:45.640 The people who own that farm. Yeah, I understand that, 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.760 but for the whole town. But these data centers, you're 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:52.040 gonna have this giant, ugly building outside of town and 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:55.800 like giant, like you can't even picture how big it is, 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.400 because we've never seen buildings this big, most of us 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.000 on the edge of town that has like four employees 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:06.600 because it's all data center stuff, sucking up electricity like crazy, 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.600 and just not really doing that much for your town. 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:15.760 Not really, no, no, although they'll probably pay a huge 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:20.560 amounts of tax probably, which which helps. But speaking of tech, 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.440 and this was really the story we wanted to bring 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:27.680 up was Apple has declared war on open Ai. In 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:32.160 one of his last acts as Apple CEO, Tim Cook 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:37.960 filed lawsuit alleging that senior open Ai executive a a 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:42.320 senior executive who once sat atop Apple's own product design team, 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.360 was involved in a month long camp, months long campaign 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.680 to steal Apple trade secrets. 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.280 And it's interesting. 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:55.200 This writer for the Wall Street Journal, whose name is 0:07:55.440 --> 0:08:00.400 Ralph Winkler, wish my name is Rolf Winkler. Yeah, anyway, 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.400 he says, It's not clear. 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:07.800 How strong this case is that the guy actually stole 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:12.000 from them, But what is clear is that open ai 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:17.720 is the latest in the line of Google, Samsung, Meta, Microsoft, 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:21.760 Amazon that have all tried to run a physical device 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:26.520 up the flagpole that uses their software and will supplant 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:28.720 the iPhone, the iPad, et cetera. 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.760 And open ai thinks, yeah, we got the software everybody wants. 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.280 Apple's embarrassing itself in. 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.880 The AI realm. We're going to try it out a smartphone. 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.280 We're gonna beat him at their own game. And Apple 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:45.080 is concerned. That's interesting. I wonder why none of the 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:49.320 other companies have rolled out a smartphone with their product 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.000 on it. Well, they a lot of them have, that's 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:57.400 the point. This is the latest Google, Samsung, Microsoft, all 0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.520 of them have. Yeah, but there's not a as far 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.360 as I know, Anthropic Phone. That's the number one AI 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.120 company in the world, right right, Yeah, Yeah. 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:13.200 According to Elon that Anthropic is currently far and away 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:18.880 the best AI product out there, which is interesting. Like 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.240 I was doing, I don't I don't know where some 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:28.079 of this stuff is. So I was in Vegas recently 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.040 and I went to the Big Cistine Chapel display. They 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:34.000 have it one of the enormous casinos they have this this, 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.120 so it's a traveling thing that's going around the world. 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:42.040 Somebody put together this, I don't know what you called 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.960 a show about the Sistine Chapel. It's all of these 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.440 four giant, four K images of all the panels from 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.960 Michelangelo's paintings on the Systeine Chapel. And having been to 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.000 the Sistine Chapel, this is better than that in terms 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:58.839 of enjoying the art. It's fantastic. It was little pricey 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.559 to get in, but it was so cool, so big, 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.760 so so clear, be able to look at it and 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.320 the descriptions of what's going on really really really loved it. 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.640 But so last night I was wanting the image, the 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.400 most famous picture from that whole thing, which is actually 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.880 if you're in the Sistine Chapel, it's seventy feet in 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.360 the air and one panel and you're looking up at 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:23.240 it and it's really really you really can't take it 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:27.079 in that well, but it's you know, the God reaching 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:29.240 out to adam that picture. So I wanted that picture 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:30.560 on my phone. I was going to put it on 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.719 my frame TV in my room and all the chapbots 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.200 said we can't do that. We can't give you that picture. 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:37.800 I said, I want a four K version of it, 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.840 said to sorry, copyright issues, salent to Google, and I 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:45.640 got eight million choices. What is that? Whole world? Why 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:47.440 an't we going to work that out? That just seems 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:52.200 so anachronistic to me. That the same thing with song lyrics. 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:55.760 I wanted song lyrics for Bonnie Tyler when she died 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.480 last week, turn Around Bright Eyes, because I did a 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:03.160 dramatic reading of the song. But the chatbox would say, sorry, 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.320 we can't give you that. Okay, I'll go to eight 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.520 million other websites where I can get that information instantly. 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.240 What is that? 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.959 They're in the crosshairs and they know it. They're in 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.920 the crosshairs of all these companies that sing that are saying, hey, 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:20.080 you're using a copyright material to build your your system 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.280 here and you're not paying for any of it, all 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.160 your big news publications and websites and stuff like that. 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.720 So they've gone so far the other way just to 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.280 protect themselves that it ends up being semi ridiculous. 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:34.480 It is ridiculous. Huh. I wonder how long it'll be 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:41.360 before that shakes out nothing to do. It's total eclipse 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.480 of the heart. There are some lines in there. I 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.160 didn't know. I've sung that song at the top of 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.000 my lungs, but I had several lines wrong all my life. 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:52.480 So Jim's Diamond wrote it. The guy behind meat Loaf. Yeah, 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:56.640 I said that very thing last week. Yeah, I do 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.440 enjoy meat Loaf, Remember, Michael, I broke down crying after 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:03.400 singing yeah, turn around bright eye. Wow. Oh, I was 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:07.360 a puddle. I was a mess. It was an emotional mess. Wow. Wow, 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:12.200 I'm sorry I missed that. If you like anything about 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.040 the Sistine Chapel, I've ever wanted to see it that 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:15.839 display in Vegas and you have to be in Vegas 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:17.520 for business something like that. Oh my gosh, paid the 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:21.199 money to check it out. M good tip. I did 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.840 a deep dive on Michelangelo over the last week, having 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.800 watched that on one of your art history podcasts. What 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.640 a coop technical director or the artist? The artist? What 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:35.080 a coop? Michelangelo was really Yeah, oh my gosh, rarely bathed. 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.080 He wouldn't. He would wear it like he would wear 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.280 his He would just leave his boots on for so 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.480 long that when he took him off like his skin 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:47.600 would peel off. I know he was a gook. I'm 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:48.360 not much better. 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.200 Love the art. Yeah, your feet are falling apart too. 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:54.640 Oh yeah, I love the art, not the artist. 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.640 Huh uh. Socialism on the March, which is probably going 0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.439 to be an ongoing story for quite some time. You 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:03.240 got Mom in New York, all the wackiness that he's doing. 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.960 Oh and who is who are? Who be? 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:11.000 The Democratic Socialists of America the DSA. If you are 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.720 one of the rare and fairly patient Democrats who listened 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.440 to this show regularly, thank you for being here. You've 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.839 got to know what the DSA is and what they 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:20.240 want wake up. 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:24.319 Yeah, yeah, that is troubling. I can't wait to talk 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:25.880 about that because you've been gone for a long time. 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.080 We've talked a lot about the whole socialism thing and 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.560 how real it is and what they mean by it. 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:32.640 A lot of the people that say they're in favor 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:34.040 of it and all that sort of stuff and all 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:42.760 the things on the way. Stay here, hey, but. 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.040 The last person to speak to Graham is our eighty 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.240 year old president. The governor who chooses Graham's replacement is 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.560 seventy nine, one of the candidates being considered as seventy eight, 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.200 but he backed out because he's too important at his 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.920 current job. And the House of Representatives all to save 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.600 the Todd Blanche hearings, which are being co run by 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:03.120 nine two year old Chuck Grassley and whipper snapper Dick 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:08.840 Durbin eighty one, the entire in Congress is falling apart 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.760 due to a lack of not just political will, but 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:12.920 bone density. 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:21.320 Wow. Oh, those are some pretty high ages. Wow Wow, 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:27.880 that is amazing. The Chicago Teachers Union had a big 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.120 rally over the weekend that included a whole bunch of 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:36.720 pro Iran people, not just anti Israel people. Pro Iran, 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.320 Join Iran and fighting the United States is part of 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:45.400 the Chicago Teachers Union. Okay, we'll get to that later. Wow. 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:52.040 So we get these two overthrow our country. We got 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:55.080 these poopy diseases going around, problems going around the country. 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.120 Is different things. There's some sort of stomach bug you 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:58.840 can get from the water, and then there's some stuff 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.800 on fruit. Right, but they're happening at the same time. 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:04.840 They're all over the country, and so if you get 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.040 an upset stomach, it might be one of those. Anyway, 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:10.360 this is from NBC seven in San Diego. A San 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:14.040 Diego infectious disease doctor said it's probably best to stay 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.560 away from fresh produce for the next week or so, 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.600 even if you wash it. Wow. 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.200 Is he talking about just in San Diego or everywhere 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:23.800 in America? 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:29.040 It's California. A fecal parasite illness known as cyclospiaesis has 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:33.520 now reached California. So yeah, don't eat any I'm not 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:35.680 gonna eat a fruit or vegetable anyway, so it's pretty 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:37.600 easy for me. But those of you who pay for 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:42.440 your colon, those of you who do, don't for a week. 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:44.560 I guess even if you wash it.

It's me nothing but good. How much 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:53.760 time I got I go to have time for this? 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.040 Got a minute thirty?

I declined to 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.680 answer at any time in the past twelve months, were 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.240 you homeless or living in a shelter? I declined to answer. 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:16.160 This is from my doctor for my physical in the 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:19.320 past twelve months, as lack of transportation kept you from 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.880 any appointments. Declined to answer. How hard is it for 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.360 you to pay for very basics like food, housing, and 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.440 medical care and heating. I decline to answer for my 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.400 physical today, where they're going to take my blood pressure 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:33.440 and see how tall I am. 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:37.160 Progressive politicians saying, hey, have the doctors ask people to 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:39.280 collect evidence that we need to spend even more time 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:39.880 no kidding. 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:43.600 Also this question within the last year, have you been kicked, hit, slapped, 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.040 or otherwise physically hurt by your partner or ex partner? 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.600 I decline to answer, Oh, hell yeah, free times to 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:53.560 today doctor doing asking this, take my blood pressure, my height, 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.240 see if I'm too fat or I need to change 0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:03.080 my lifestyle or whatever. God hate that so much those 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.640 you answer those questions. I don't know what's going on there. 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.840 We're gonna talk about socialism coming up next. It's ugly, man, 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:16.600 really ugly. It always fails. Please please Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:21.920 I mean the Chicago Teachers' Union at their own building 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:25.680 hosted a conference and where people were calling on supporting 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:29.840 Iran's access of resistance and to prepare for violence against 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:35.680 the United States and Israel in Chicago and the United States. Yeah, 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.000 and what do teachers have to do with it? These 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:41.760 are confusing times, man, Well, they're part of the Marxist 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.280 movement to overthrow the government of the United States. I mean, 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:48.200 I'm not paranoid. It is a fact. It's just undeniable. 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:48.919 Uh. 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:52.040 And the fact that all these teachers have been somehow 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:54.679 duped into thinking, yeah, this country is so ugly and corrupt, 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:57.680 and yeah, socialism is the way to go. Anybody who 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:05.840 opposes America must be a good person, including brutal religious fundamentalists. 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:09.720 It's hard to wrap your head around. 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:12.399 Oh yeah, it's hard to wrap your head around how 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:13.560 they could wrap their head around that. 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.600 Yeah, that's why I think it's a mental illness. Yeah, yeah, 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:18.240 I think for a lot of people. It is. For 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:18.800 a lot of people. 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:21.560 Though, as we've discussed many times, like the Red Green 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:25.040 Alliance that really came together in the Iranian Revolution nineteen 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.800 seventy nine, the Marxists thought that they would win the 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:32.000 day and that the Islamists were just an ally of convenience, 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:35.000 and the Islamists thought the same thing. Turns out the 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:38.280 religious fervor was even more hot than the Marxist fervor, 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:41.800 and the Islamists absolutely won the day. But I think, 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:46.520 you know, the ideologue is actually running this stuff. They think, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:48.720 we'll use these idiots and then we'll take power and 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:49.520 it'll all be great. 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:51.840 Well, have we talked about the Scott Wiener thing that 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:54.160 happened while you were on vacation and we talked about 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:58.280 I'm aware of it. Yeah, So that was the proof, 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:03.399 as several people have written really recently, that the center 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.120 of gravity for the wackat news and the Democratic Party 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:10.760 has moved from the sexuality stuff that's over to the 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:14.920 anti Israel stuff. And so sorry, Scott Winer, you were, 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.480 you know, a gay guy who's pro trans and nobody 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:20.600 cares about that anymore. It's where are you on Israel? 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:22.359 And you took money from APEX? So sorry, you're an 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:25.280 enemy that That's how quickly that has all changed. And 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:28.360 look at the Chicago Teachers Union, whatever thing they had there, 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:33.399 it wasn't about uh, boys and girls sports and trans bathrooms. No, no, no, no, 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:35.200 it was about up with Iran. 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:38.160 Boy, and that's such a great example of how revolutionary 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:41.280 politics works. You're in the end group until you're not, 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.000 and then you're up against the wall and you're Rosky 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:46.040 sitting on the toilet taking a nice pick. 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.840 Absolutely. Scott Winner, who was a hero to that crowd 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:52.520 walking through the park to the Pride event, being screamed 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:54.080 at by. 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:57.000 People in his own crowd, right because now he step 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:58.120 with a party line. 0:19:58.720 --> 0:19:59.960 Wow, unbelievable. 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:03.600 So speaking of that sort of thing, there's a great 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:08.240 piece by Scott Atlas, who's a doctor. He's a professor 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:11.359 with the Hoover Institution. And I didn't know his parents 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:13.720 were immigrants, and he was just talking about the United 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:19.000 States and how attitudes have changed because his parents got here, 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:21.120 learned language as quickly as they could. They never saw 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:23.639 the deck as stacked against them. They worked like crazy, 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:28.760 they became successful. He loves this country and he's talking 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:33.280 about what he calls the selfie generation and how you know, 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:36.680 you post it and look for validation. If you don't 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:38.960 get it, the explanation is always the same. The system 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:41.240 is rig the deck is stacked. Someone else has too much. 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:46.080 The appeal to socialism to young Americans. Isn't really about economics. 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:48.800 It's about having someone else to blame when you haven't 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.880 succeeded after being given every advantage. It's easier to claim 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:55.640 the system is unfair than to admit personal failure. And 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:58.240 he says, what's tragic is that the narrative of societal 0:20:58.280 --> 0:20:59.919 unfairness is being sold as compact. 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:03.960 It isn't. It's condescension packaged to solidarity. 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:08.280 Tells young people they're victims, incapable of rising, dependent on redistribution, 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:11.320 oh to life they haven't earned. It robs them of 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:14.679 the one thing. My father's midnight taxi shifts gave me 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:19.240 the knowledge that I could do it myself. Really really 0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:22.439 powerful piece, really good stuff. And then you've got this. 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:24.359 It's funny how this didn't get picked up by the 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:27.600 liberal media. The story in the All Street Journal about 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:31.320 this cashier who makes thirty three dollars an hour at Costco. 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:34.480 He's a cashier supervisor and now he's worth well over 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:36.640 a million dollars. He and his family have a nice house. 0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:39.080 They've been to Europe a couple of times. He's smart, 0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:40.879 he's worked already. Happen to be a black man. Not 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:44.480 that that it really matters. But and he's had a 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:48.919 great American dream life. He's got great healthcare and the 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:50.240 rest of it. He's respected. 0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:51.560 It's funny. 0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:54.520 And he works at Costco. Now you know he's in 0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:57.560 the upper levels. But yeah, the free market works. And 0:21:57.640 --> 0:21:59.520 you got this, And I'm just throwing a handful of 0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:03.719 things against the wall leading up to something big. New 0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:07.400 York Post is doing a story about this New York 0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:10.359 City Housing Authority supervisor. 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:12.000 He's the plumbing supervisor. 0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:16.960 He made a little under five hundred thousand dollars, including 0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:21.080 nearly three hundred and thirty two thousand dollars in overtime, 0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:24.400 nearly twenty six hundred hours in overtime in a year 0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:31.560 while he was simultaneously running two private plumbing companies. It's 0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:34.640
