1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, arm Strong and Getty,

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: and he Armstrong and Getty.

4
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: Already this morning from inside the White House. President Donald

5
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: Trump has been commenting about this case, describing former FBI

6
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: director James Comey as a dirty cop and a destroyer

7
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: of lives. That comes as Comy now faces federal charges

8
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 2: of obstructing justice and making false statements that could land

9
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 2: to him behind bars for five years if found guilty.

10
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 3: Yes, for the first time ever a former or current

11
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 3: FBI director has been indicted. James Comy. You might remember

12
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: the name if you follow politics at all. He probably

13
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: got Trump elected in twenty sixteen when he announced, with

14
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 3: what like a week to go before the election, I've

15
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 3: reopened the case with Hillary Clinton.

16
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: What what? Why'd you tell us this? And he's guilty

17
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: of all sorts of stuff that we're not going to

18
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: charge her with. Back you all right? That talent ended?

19
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: That was funny.

20
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, By the way, the indictment Conway, just so you

21
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 3: know what the other side is saying. MSNBC, for instance,

22
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 3: I was watching this morning. They're treating it like this.

23
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 3: I'm looking at a tweet from Joe Scarborough's account. The

24
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 3: Kombi indictment is among the worst abuses in Department of

25
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 3: Justice history in this country.

26
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: Shocking.

27
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: It is hard to overstate how to big a moment.

28
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 3: This is uh they are calling this. This is a

29
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: completely new level of lawlessness, even by Trumps standards. We're

30
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 3: into unknown territory. Our democracy is over. That's the way

31
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: it's being looked, right right, Well, that's exciting.

32
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: Describing this as lawlessness trying to enforce the law is

33
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: kind of funny. If you want to say that the

34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: independence of the Justice Department is threatened. Okay, that's a

35
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: good discussion I have. But as we've mentioned earlier in

36
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: the show, the fess up to all the times Democrat

37
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: administrations pressured the Justice Department to do one thing or another,

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: including all the lawfair against Trump, which doesn't make it right,

39
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: of course what Trump's doing now necessarily quick recap of

40
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journals description, and then we've got a

41
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: lot of great audio for you. A federal grand jury

42
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: in Virginia indicted former FBI director James Comy blah blah blah,

43
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: fall statements and obstruction days after President Trump demanded the

44
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: prosecution and ousted the US attorney who determined that there

45
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: was insufficient evidence to bring the case. All right, here's

46
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. Back in twenty twenty, Congress was

47
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: holding hearings about the investigation into Trump's and the campaigns

48
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: alleged tized to Russia back in the twenty sixteen election,

49
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: and how dirty that was. All the leaks, the faked

50
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: up PISA warrants, the shock and page and the insurance

51
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: plan and just everything else. Oh my god, the Steele

52
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: dossier and oh it goes on and on and on

53
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: and on. Uh and call mey. Was asked this and

54
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: said this, have.

55
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 4: You ever been an anonymous source in news reports about

56
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 4: matters relating to the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation?

57
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 5: Never, mister McCabe, who works for you as publicly and

58
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 5: repeatedly stated that he leaked information to the Wall Street

59
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 5: Journal and that you were directly aware of it and

60
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 5: that you directly authorized it.

61
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 6: I stand by what the testimony you summarized that I

62
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 6: gave in May of twenty.

63
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: Seventeen, and it's nothing that no, I didn't.

64
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: No, I didn't, And it's known that he leaked to

65
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: that Columbia professor to get stuff into. Whichever newspaper was

66
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: I think the Washington Post, New York Times, whichever one,

67
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: doesn't matter. That was the way he did things, According

68
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 3: to Andrew McCabe, who was the FBI.

69
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: Director after call me right, right, So it seems like

70
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: he lied in front of Congress, or at least there's

71
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: reasonable suspicion that he lied in front of Congress. I

72
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: think he's guilty as a dog. But so why not

73
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: just go ahead and do this? Well, you got the

74
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: question of Trump browbeating the Justice Department into filing the charges,

75
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: even though most of the pros, including according to sources

76
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: in the administration, Pam BONDI told him, don't do this.

77
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: It won't work, we won't get him. It's it's not

78
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: a good look, et cetera. But Trump was intent on

79
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: doing it. Why don't we hold off on self righteous

80
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: James Comy hauling himself up on the cross thirty five?

81
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: This is the president of the United States.

82
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 7: They're going to make a determination.

83
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: I'm not making that determined.

84
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 7: I think i'd be allowed to get involved in the once,

85
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 7: but I don't really choose to do so. I can

86
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 7: only say that Koby's a bad person. He's a sick person.

87
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 7: I think he's a sick guy. Actually, they did terrible

88
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 7: things at the FBI. But I don't know. I have

89
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,119
Speaker 7: no idea what's going to happen.

90
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: Nathan Turley is a sane, sober voice with conservative sympathies.

91
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: Certainly always interesting to listen to Jonathan about legal matters.

92
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: Michael hit the first, turtly, would you forty?

93
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 8: It is a seismic event. I mean, you're talking about

94
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 8: a former director of the FBI, and there have been

95
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 8: long allegations that Comy was a leaker. If you recall,

96
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 8: the Inspector General report was scathing with regard to Comy's conduct.

97
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 8: Comy removed FBI documents, including classified information when he was fired,

98
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 8: and the Inspector General went after him, but it did

99
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 8: not find that he specifically leaked that to The New

100
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 8: York Times. But this could be a perjury case as

101
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 8: opposed to a leak case.

102
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: Hit the next one.

103
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 8: False statement or perjury prosecutions are not easy matters because

104
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 8: they can be subject to interpretation. James Covey Comby's a

105
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 8: very clever person. He's testified a lot, and so these

106
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 8: cases can be tricky to make out.

107
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: That's a very charitable way to put it. I think

108
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 3: Jonathan Turley saying it could be tricky. Andrew McCarthy writing

109
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 3: in the National Review, and he is a conservative, and

110
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: he hated almost all of the cases against Trump and

111
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 3: wrote at length about why they were ridiculous and you know,

112
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 3: a travesty of justice and we should be worried about

113
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 3: going down this road, et cetera, et cetera. He thinks

114
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 3: the indictment against Comy should be dismissed. He says it's

115
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: absolutely a legal mess. He's writing today he said, we

116
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 3: have to resort to reporting about what's in the indictment

117
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,799
Speaker 3: rather than just reading the indictment itself, because the charge

118
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 3: is so poorly drafted that it's not entirely clear what

119
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: Comy is alleged to have lied about. The indictment does

120
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 3: not mention mccab or Hillary, who were referred to as

121
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 3: someone else at the FBI. This is in quotes and person.

122
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 3: One Missing from the indictment is any description of the

123
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 3: incident involving mcabe, Clinton and Comy, out of which the

124
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 3: perjury chargery charge supposedly results. So it's difficult to understand

125
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 3: what the charge actually is, says Andrew McCarthy.

126
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: Oh boy, yeah, oh boys. Right, here's Keith Jarrett on

127
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: Fox and Friends forty four. It seems to me.

128
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 9: That his deceptions were pretty obvious, and you know, the

129
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 9: false statement substruction charges are pretty straightforward. Bran And if convicted,

130
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 9: of course, up to five years in prison.

131
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: Now.

132
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 9: He allegedly leaked sensitive FBI material and then lied about

133
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 9: it under questioning from Congress twice twenty seventeen.

134
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: Again, he doubled down in.

135
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 9: Twenty twenty, and while testifying, Comy insisted, gee, I never

136
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 9: authorized anybody else to anonymously leak. Well, several former FBI officials,

137
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 9: including allegedly Andrew McKay James Baker, their own record stating

138
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 9: that Comy did authorize numerous as.

139
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: We mentioned that on that one Michael. So there you

140
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: have folks on Fox and Friends saying, oh, yeah, these

141
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: charges are rock solid. Well, look we're gonna get them.

142
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: I'll point out again Fox.

143
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 3: I turned on Fox and Friends this morning that while

144
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 3: while other cable news channels are saying this is one

145
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 3: of the biggest things that has ever happened and the

146
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: worst thing Trump has ever done, Fox didn't even get

147
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: around the story to the second segments, which makes me

148
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 3: think that they're not super proud of it.

149
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: They went with a bunch of other stories.

150
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 3: Comy's a liar, and he's absolutely full of crap about

151
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: so many different things. And I do think he's a

152
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: bad human. I don't know if he's the worst human

153
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 3: that's ever existed or something. That Trump said, Yes, still

154
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 3: is in the finals in the run.

155
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: Which is that hell of a thing to say.

156
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 3: But once again, reading from Mark Halprin's a non partisan

157
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 3: newsletter today, he wrote, I've long been mystified as to

158
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 3: the deification of James Comy by the media, a man

159
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: whose public actions and statements have been put in sharp

160
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 3: relief with a complete unprincipled phony and liar. He is unprincipled,

161
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 3: phony and liar. That's exactly what he is. We got

162
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 3: to play the Comy defending himself Instagram stuff just because

163
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 3: it's so good. It's our classic James Comy. One more

164
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 3: at Lindsey Graham fifty two. Then we'll get to Komy.

165
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 10: When I questioned him five years ago, I didn't believe

166
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 10: a word he told me. I don't believe this possible

167
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 10: for the director of the FBI not to know that

168
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 10: the sub source who gave the information about the Russian

169
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 10: dossier recantedate and it never got up to him. I

170
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 10: don't believe this possible that Comy did not know there

171
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 10: was accusations against Clinton cooking this up, because now we

172
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 10: know that in August of twenty sixteen, three months before

173
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 10: he applied for the warrant, they had a meeting about

174
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 10: whether or not her campaign started this storyline to avoid

175
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 10: exposure for the email scandal.

176
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 3: So like, I'm not a lawyer, I'm not an expert

177
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 3: in this area at all, and I don't claim to be.

178
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: But just from reading the smart people that I like,

179
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 3: it seems to me classic law which is going on here.

180
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: There's very little chance because of the particulars that they

181
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 3: get anything, you know, legally real against Comy.

182
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: But the whole lawfair thing is often.

183
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 3: Just to make your life miserable, just to drag you

184
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: through the Hall process, have to hire a bunch of lawyers,

185
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 3: dominate your life with a very unpleasant situation for a

186
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 3: long time to come because you hate the person, which

187
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: is exactly what they did to Donald Trump for years

188
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 3: and friends, are you there sitting there are you thinking

189
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 3: Comy deserves that?

190
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: Eh? Yeah, well so Jim Jack. In this country, we

191
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: let the defendants speak. In other words, we don't hang

192
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: a man without a fair trial. This is true.

193
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 3: That's right, Dad. Now I've got to go shopping with

194
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,599
Speaker 3: your moth. So this is James Comy last night in

195
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 3: his Instagram post.

196
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 6: My family and I have known for years that there

197
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 6: are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we

198
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 6: couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way.

199
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn't either.

200
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: Could he be more dramatic and pompous. We will not

201
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: live on our knees, and you shouldn't either. Okay, go on,

202
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm fine. I'm not.

203
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 6: Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is

204
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 6: the tool of a tyrant, and she's right.

205
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: But I'm not afraid. Oh, and I hope you're not either. Oh.

206
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 6: I hope instead you are engaged, You are paying attention,

207
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 6: and you will vote like your beloved country depends upon it,

208
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 6: which it does.

209
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 3: I'm not afraid and you shouldn't be either. As he

210
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: takes the mantle of leader of those who are so afraid,

211
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 3: out there, although I know some people are.

212
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: James, that was good. That was really good. But let's

213
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: do one more take. Can you tone down the I'm

214
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: Jesus on the cross thing just a little bit, roll

215
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: it back in och. That'd be good. Let's try again. Ready,

216
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: action go on.

217
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 6: My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but

218
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 6: I have great confidence in the federal judicial system. I'm innocent,

219
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 6: So let's have a trial. I keep the faith you.

220
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: I will, and I'll get off my knees and I

221
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: won't be afraid. Was there more?

222
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 3: Your heart is broken for the judicial system when you

223
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 3: lied about stuff to get PAISA warrants so you could

224
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 3: spy on people when you wanted to, planted stories in

225
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 3: the paper so you could then brief the president and

226
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 3: then plant another story that the president has been briefed.

227
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 3: I mean just that your heart didn't break for the

228
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 3: Justice Department then, because you weren't doing the right thing,

229
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 3: because you James call me. And this is what he

230
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: has been from the beginning. He thinks he is the

231
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 3: one arbiter of what is true and good, and he

232
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 3: can go outside the norms because he could be trusted

233
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 3: with the norms.

234
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: He knows what's good and what's right. Right, He's far

235
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: more enlightened than those simple men who made the rules.

236
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: I will change the rules when necessary for justice. Is

237
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: there another one that's it?

238
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 11: Yeah?

239
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: He make people vomit. He is so hard to take.

240
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean this case is a good case or should

241
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: be brought, but yeah, he's hard to take. We got

242
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: more on the way. Stay here.

243
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 12: You see, in this country, we're very proud to have

244
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 12: a process known as the law, and none of the law.

245
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 12: A man is presumed innocent until he's proven guilty.

246
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 4: Right.

247
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 12: In other words, we don't hang anybody without.

248
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: A fair trial.

249
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 12: Everybody knows that, sure, but sometimes we tend to forget. Well,

250
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 12: I'm glad you understand. I'll see you kids later. I

251
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 12: have to go shopping with your.

252
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 4: Money, Armstrong.

253
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 13: And finally, American Airlines has unveiled new amenity kits for

254
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 13: premium tickets, which include beauty products from celebrity facialist Joanna Vargus.

255
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 13: Will Spirit said, they'll just keep passing around a tub

256
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 13: of vacilline.

257
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 3: Wow, relentless on the Spirit Airlines? Is that an East

258
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 3: Coast thing or the more people fly Spirit there?

259
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's mostly East Coast.

260
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 3: I never heard anybody bring it up as an airline,

261
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 3: So this is exciting people. Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive poll

262
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 3: is out and up and you can vote on.

263
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: It if you're scrossed. Yeah, and I think this is

264
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: my year, Michael. Finally, I've been working out a lot.

265
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 3: What's mostly interesting as you get older and pay less

266
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 3: attention to pop culture Like me, you don't know who

267
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 3: any of these people are, but it's interesting to me

268
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 3: that next to the names of these people I don't know,

269
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:43,479
Speaker 3: it's what they do. Number of TikTok stars, podcasters, influencers,

270
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 3: influencers that you would have to be in that world

271
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 3: to have any idea who they are. Isn't that something

272
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 3: this year? This year's Sexy Fan of Life could be

273
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,239
Speaker 3: some influencer that nobody under the over the age.

274
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: Of forty has ever heard of. Maybe I don't know. Yeah,

275
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: and has you know, many many, many millions of people

276
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: who are fans. Yeah.

277
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 3: I was listening to something. Rob Reiner was talking about this.

278
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 3: He's the movie director Spinal Tap two is coming out. Mean,

279
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 3: it's talking about shared experiences and how we don't have

280
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: those anymore.

281
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: And he thinks it's bad. I think it is too.

282
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: I don't know there's anything to do about it.

283
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 3: But he was on the TV show All in the Family,

284
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 3: and he was talking about how back in the day,

285
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 3: it was the number one show on television for five years,

286
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 3: and every Thursday night at eight o'clock. I think he said,

287
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 3: about a quarter of the country would tune in, and

288
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 3: that's including men, women, and children. About a quarter of

289
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 3: the country would tune in and not only watch the show,

290
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 3: but at that moment because there was no way to

291
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 3: record it or anything like that, so every a quarter

292
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 3: of the country was sitting on their couch at that moment,

293
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 3: all across the nation. We don't have anything close to

294
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 3: that now other than Super Bowl every year.

295
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: Oh, I can't imagine what it would be unless there's

296
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: some sort of cataclysm. But they know, even then, everybody

297
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: would separate to their own favorite website or streaming service

298
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: or what have you. Even the really big popular shows,

299
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: people aren't watching them at the same time, you know.

300
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: So you know, as somebody brings it up at a

301
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: dinner and you say, oh, don't tell me, I'm only

302
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: on season two, you know that sort of thing.

303
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 3: Right, So, and there was something. There was definitely a

304
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 3: bonding pulls us together. Here's something we can talk about.

305
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 3: That's shows we, you know, have some commonality.

306
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: Before we get it.

307
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 3: You know, any political issue comes up that might keep

308
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 3: us from flying apart and hating each other.

309
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: There's got to be something there, right, No, I think

310
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: you're one hundred percent right. And all my point was

311
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: with the sexiest man alive. It wasn't that many years

312
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: ago that whoever won, everybody in the country knew who

313
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: that person was. Everybody because it was such a common experience. Now,

314
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, though there's divided into so many different categories

315
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: depending on your age, politics, part of the country you

316
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: live in. Right, so are the amount of overlap in

317
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: you know, the things we do, the things we care about,

318
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: the things that make us laugh is either much much

319
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: less and you never get a chance to find out

320
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: about it because you're yelling at each other about politics first,

321
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: which is unfortunate. Armstrong and Getty.

322
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 11: I printed space on a dozen digital billboards on Highway

323
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 11: one oh one in Silicon Valley between Santa Clara and

324
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 11: San Francisco to advertise my personal dating website, Mary Lisa

325
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 11: dot com.

326
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 14: It's been months since I've been on a date. I

327
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 14: can't even get men to talk to me on any

328
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 14: of the apps. I don't understand what's going on, but

329
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 14: I figured it's time for a bold move. And what's

330
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 14: bolder than running billboards on the side of a major

331
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 14: highway to essentially market myself?

332
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 3: Katie, Have you seen this woman? Have you gone to

333
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:46,959
Speaker 3: marry Lisa dot com?

334
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: I have. She's cute. I'm picking up crazy vibes, though

335
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: a little bit well.

336
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 3: I was thinking that maybe she's like beyond cute, like stunning,

337
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 3: Like she's trying to get a thing going with a website,

338
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 3: whether it's only fans or influencer or whatever.

339
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: But you think she's just a regular person. Yeah, she's.

340
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: I mean, she's not like a Kardashian, but she's certainly

341
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: not ugly. She's cute find to land an internet zillionaire? Maybe, Uh.

342
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 3: I wonder why she can't get men to respond to

343
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 3: her things on online dating.

344
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,719
Speaker 1: I wish crazy vibes were like scientifically miserable. Yeah, and

345
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: that would be you know, part of you know, are

346
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: you financially together? You know you're five foot four, Oh gosh,

347
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: you're a six point five on the crazy scale.

348
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 3: But now a six point five on the crazy scale.

349
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 3: You gotta hunt it out, you gotta sense it. She's attractive, Yeah,

350
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 3: she's cute. Uh, it's interesting she's taking out billboards though.

351
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 10: Yeah.

352
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: See that screams.

353
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 3: Crazy to me. Yeah, just as a female. It's r

354
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 3: O d reeks of desperation.

355
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and you're going to get thousands of responses,

356
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: oh yeah in all likelihood, Oh yeah, in ten minutes.

357
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: So how would you wade through all of those responses

358
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: and pick a non crazy person yourself if you're normal.

359
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: I don't know how the hell you would do that.

360
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: I don't know how.

361
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 3: It seems like an odd plan. Uh, coming up, just

362
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 3: came across this. It wasn't true very many years ago,

363
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 3: wasn't even close to true twenty years ago.

364
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: It's true now Britain is poorer.

365
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 3: Than all fifty US states ins of in terms of individual.

366
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: Quality of life. Based on that, socialism works great.

367
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 3: Even our poorest states are richer on average than Great Britain.

368
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: And we'll get into the stats coming up. It's really

369
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: quite amazing. Yeah, and actually some of our poorest states

370
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: are staging an amazing turnaround in their education systems. That's

371
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: what I was just about to talk about. That's what

372
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: I was just about to read.

373
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 3: Oh good, good, a piece about the Mississippi Miracle, which

374
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 3: you were talking about the other day. Consider this latest

375
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 3: chapter of the Mississippi Miracle, which has seen the state

376
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 3: climb from forty ninth in the country on fourth grade

377
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 3: reading to ninth nationally. That is quite a turnaround from

378
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 3: second to last in top to top ten. This rise

379
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 3: has received a great deal of coverage in publications ranging

380
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 3: from The New York Times in the New York Post.

381
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 3: We talked about it the other day, Joe brought it

382
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 3: to us, and yet it still feels like what's taking

383
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 3: place in the Deep South has been grossly under sold.

384
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: That's funny, Yeah, no kidding. Well, first of all, surely

385
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: it's the teachers unions that have turned it around in progressive,

386
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: equity based policies. Right.

387
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 3: First, it's not just Mississippi, it's Louisiana, Alabama, and Tennessee

388
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 3: have all adopted the same strategies stemmed from bleeding effective states,

389
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 3: bleeding affecting, stemmed the bleeding affecting states elsewhere and seen

390
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 3: significant improvements. And the second, many people who aren't too

391
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 3: focused on education. Paul he seemed to imagine, Mississippi has

392
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 3: only stopped the underperforming. But it's not just that the

393
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 3: people that were overperforming are now even higher. So it

394
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 3: raised everybody, the bottom people and the top people.

395
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: Right well, and again they make the point that it's

396
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: not that Mississippi is just not sucking anymore, if you'll

397
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: pardon my front, it's that they're doing really, really well.

398
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, So one other thing on that, and then you

399
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 3: can get into why the heck this is the difference

400
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 3: is most pronounced. You look at the most disadvantage students.

401
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 3: In California, only twenty eight percent of black fourth graders

402
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 3: read at or above basic level, compared to fifty two

403
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 3: percent in Mississippi. Over half in Mississippi of the most

404
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 3: disadvantage only better slightly better than a quarter in California.

405
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom for president and again, but it's not just

406
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 3: that Mississippi has raised the florid. It's also raised the ceiling.

407
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 3: The state has also one of the nation's best when

408
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 3: you look at students who are not economically disadvantaged.

409
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: Right right. The key aspect to this, I know in

410
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: Mississippi there are no teachers' union to come up the

411
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: works to quote one Mississippi teacher. And the other thing

412
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: is the schools and the states have said, we are

413
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: going to teach reading and writing and math and history.

414
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: We are going to teach kids core academic academic topics entirely,

415
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: and nothing but that. We're going to identify the underperforming

416
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: kids and we're going to give them intense tutoring. This

417
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: school is about learning and nothing else, no indoctrination. Can

418
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: you imagine that, friends, something so radical and it's working

419
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: beautifully because of course it effing is pardon me, you know,

420
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: a quick huddle here, quick huddle friends. Can you believe

421
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: we let the insane people run education for as long

422
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: as we did and they still are in most places?

423
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: Who think what I just said is somehow awful shocking.

424
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 3: Well, see, it seems crazy to me that I ever

425
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 3: wasn't thinking about this. But like one of the big

426
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 3: pushbacks against government healthcare, for instance, government taking over healthcare

427
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 3: is oh, you want your doctor to be like the DMV. Well,

428
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 3: I feel like we were starting from scratch and somebody

429
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 3: proposing the government run schools, I would be saying, oh,

430
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 3: you want your schools to be like the DMV.

431
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because.

432
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 3: It's a lot like the DMV whole bunch of middle

433
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 3: management who kind of have contempt for their customer, the students.

434
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,719
Speaker 1: Or the person trying to get a driver's license, depending

435
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: on it. Doesn't matter how well they do their job,

436
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: can't get it fired no matter what. Yeah, a couple

437
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: of exhibits that are kind of the other side of

438
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: the coin. First of all, interesting article I came across

439
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: about how boys may benefit from red shirting in kindergarten.

440
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: It's the idea of and we weighed this with our

441
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: kids too, who all happen to have kind of uh yeah,

442
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: could go this way, could go that way, birthdays, right exactly.

443
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: And is your boys in particular are they ready to

444
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 1: start school or would they benefit from one more year

445
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: of reading at home, mom and dad reading two of

446
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: them and then they start to school or just maturing right, yeah, exactly.

447
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: It's interesting. This writer quotes a researcher in child and

448
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: adolescent studies at the unforgivably liberal California State University System.

449
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: But they mentioned that a big training session happened and

450
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: every single teacher was talking about how boys are struggling

451
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: and they all wanted to do something about it, which

452
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: is laudable and good and I'm glad to hear it.

453
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: But later in the article you get to the fact

454
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: that leftist groups, including teachers' unions, are actually coming out

455
00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: against red shirting children, red shirting children including boys, because

456
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: only more affluent families can afford to do that. Therefore,

457
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: it's an inequity, and you should force those boys who

458
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: are not ready for school into school. People are freaking crazy. Oh,

459
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: I know, I know. It makes you angry, doesn't it, Yes,

460
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: it does. No, you can't hold your son out even

461
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: though he's completely not ready, because that would be inequitable

462
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: because some parents can't do that. Started again on the

463
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: whole pre K thing, which makes me nuts.

464
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 3: It partially makes me nuts because they just built a

465
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 3: big new I'm sure it cost many millions of dollars

466
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 3: building at the school where my kids went when they

467
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 3: were little for pre K, which is presented as just

468
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 3: obviously a good idea, even though there are no studies

469
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 3: that show it's a good idea.

470
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: No, including many studies that show the contrary. And one

471
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: more thing, one more exhibit, and I've mentioned this several

472
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: times that you know through the years of various news shows,

473
00:25:55,359 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: including sixty Minutes have highlighted these unbelievable inner city schools

474
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: that turn around the kid's futures. And it's always the

475
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: same formula. They raise that expectations, they instill discipline, often

476
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: their uniforms involved, take them relieve uh, and they teach

477
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: core topics to the kids. They go hardcore on academics

478
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 1: and people are held accountable. Yeah, and it's in a cheerful,

479
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: positive you can do this way, and it's always, always,

480
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: always a charter school or an independent school zorin Mamdani

481
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: Mandani is so damni say it with me, Mam dumni.

482
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: He preaches an equity agenda that includes choking off funding

483
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 1: for charter schools. He wants to essentially end them. Mamdannie

484
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: threatens to stu and they go into uh. This is

485
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: a I think the Wall Street journal is talking about

486
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: the astonishingly terrible achievement numbers of a lot of students

487
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: in New York City and how in the charter school

488
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: system they're vastly, vastly better. I mean, there's just like,

489
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 1: holy crap, and it's it's white kids, black kids, Hispanic kids,

490
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 1: and all its similar results. Mundanni threatens to stump this

491
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: success story quote. I oppose efforts by the state to

492
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: mandate and expansion of charter school operations in New York City.

493
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: He opposes charters co locating sharing facilities with district schools.

494
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: He is big on equity. If anybody excels. If I'm sorry,

495
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: if everybody doesn't excel, nobody should be allowed to excel.

496
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: They should be held down. That may be the most

497
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 1: sick philosophy, non demand. That might be the main tenet

498
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: of socialism and communism. That person over there doing well

499
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: somehow is damaging me, so let's make sure they don't

500
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: do well. Crazy This mum, Donnie's hostility to charters is

501
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: reminiscent in a forum or build de Blagio who made

502
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: it harder for charters to do what they do, and

503
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: they go into the details of it and the way

504
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: he harassed them and hit them with expenses that they

505
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: never saw coming and never paid before. Says Eva Moscow

506
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: at CEO of Success Academies that has a wonderful success record.

507
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: It was eight years of daily hostility. It was the

508
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: worst eight years of my life, and it just made

509
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: the work so incredibly hard. These are people trying to

510
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: turn the lives of little kids in cities around Can

511
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: you imagine that? And the politicians who are slaves to

512
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: and money grubbing hoes for the teachers' unions, they will

513
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: kill the success if they can. It would be sickening.

514
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 3: If public schools were doing well, it would still be

515
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 3: sickening that there are people. Yeah, I just like to

516
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 3: do it a different way, with an emphasis on you know,

517
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 3: more of an emphasis on Christianity or science or whatever

518
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 3: it is. We want to have, you know, private schools

519
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 3: or charter schools or whatever. But since the public school

520
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 3: are failing all over the place, good lord, it's just said,

521
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 3: this is.

522
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: One of the biggest problems we've got in the entire country. Right.

523
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: I think it is. I absolutely think it is. It

524
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: might be the biggest problem because for bringing up generation

525
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: after generation kids to hate their own country and their

526
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: angry ignoramuses steeped only in Marxism.

527
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 3: What do you think the result of that's gonna be.

528
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 3: We had this party last night. A lot of people

529
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 3: brought up to me having heard me talk about my

530
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 3: son's American history class, where so far they hadn't done

531
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 3: anything a month into the school year, but talk about

532
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 3: white people's genocide of the Indians haven't gotten to anything

533
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 3: about American Revolution or Thomas Jefferson or any of that

534
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 3: stuff yet. I don't know if that's evercoming because I

535
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 3: pulled my son out of the class.

536
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: But when they do, it'll just be to perpetuate slavery.

537
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: But at least I'm sure it would be.

538
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 3: I almost wanted him to be around, just to see

539
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: where this was going to go. But wasn't me of

00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,600

00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 3: want the government deciding who gets what and how much?

548

00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 3: Late touchdown by the Cardinals last night looks like there

565
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 3: and then the Seahawks kick a field goal as time

566
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 3: expires and win. It's amazing how many NFL games come

567
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 3: down to a kick at the end.

568
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: Of the game. You wouldn't think that'd be possible.

569
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 3: That it happens that often, but it sure does, which

570
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 3: is one of the reasons the West has a lot

571
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 3: of great teams.

572
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: By the way, football fans, you know that one of

573
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: the reasons people love it as it comes down to

574
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: the end like that so often. We got a lot

575
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: on the way. Stay here are strong.

576
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 13: Miriam Webster now today that the twelfth edition of its

577
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 13: Collegiate Dictionary will include more than five thousand new words,

578
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 13: including riz. That's for the definition of riz. If you're

579
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 13: looking it up in the dictionary, you don't have it.

580
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: That's probably true.

581
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 13: Kind of sounds like me, honey.

582
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: How are there five thousand new words? That's wild? I'm

583
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: sure we're enough words.

584
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 3: You know, we're not there yet. It's only September. We'll

585
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 3: be at the end of the we year and we'll

586
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 3: get to all that sort of stuff.

587
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: But I'm calling for a moratorium on new fair are

588
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: enough words the world. One of the world's old humans,

589
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: her final words at one hundred and seventeen when she

590
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: died were study me. And they have.

591
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 3: They've they've studied every bit of her body after she

592
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 3: passed away, and the New York Times has an article

593
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 3: about things they've learned.

594
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: And so we'll get to that in hour three. Wow, longevity,

595
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: it's a hot, hot topic. You know, who's spending zillions

596
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: of dollars on that is a lot of your tech titans,

597
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: because they have zillions of dollars and they have faith

598
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: in technology, and they're you know, they're financing all sorts

599
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: of from intriguing to promising to ridiculous schemes. For staving

600
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: off aging. Here's something I heard the other day.

601
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 3: The guy who does that podcast econ Tak, one of

602
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 3: the most famous podcasters in the world.

603
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: I can't think of his name right now. Roberts. Is

604
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: that what it is anyway?

605
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 3: A common a question he has is a thing he

606
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 3: has is if I gave you ten million dollars, would

607
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 3: you go back to live in nineteen fifty And he

608
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 3: said most of the time, if people think it over,

609
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 3: the answer is no. And my initial answer was, hell, yeah,

610
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 3: I would. But that wouldn't work for either you or me.

611
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 3: I mean specifically you were me, so no, I mean,

612
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 3: like your hips went out on you, You'd be crippled.

613
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 3: I would have died of cancer already, so whoops. So no,

614
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 3: for both of us our future airs.

615
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: I'm never sure how time machines work would be very

616
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: very well, say though, but so for just from medical advancements,

617
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: let alone other things. Yeah, yeah, it's a good point. So,

618
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: speaking of textillionaires and that sort of thing, I have
