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 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty and no he Armstrong and Getty.

4
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: The shooter evidently raises chickens, and the conversation was about

5
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: how many eggs a chicken can lay. One victim ran

6
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: out into the roadway trying to get away from the shooter.

7
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: The other two victims head. We had several phone calls.

8
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: The shooter himself called nine to one one. Arming yourself

9
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: with a handgun when you're under the influence is not.

10
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: A good idea.

11
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: There's never going to be a good outcome with that.

12
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: Oh, under the influence, Well, that's explained some of it.

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: I guess how you got into a to the death

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: argument about how many eggs a chicken can lay? Under

15
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: the influence played a role. Yeah, I think if I'm

16
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: sober and arguing bitterly over the.

17
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 3: Capacity of chickens to lay eggs, I'm probably gonna keep

18
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 3: it cool.

19
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: Well, any of you have rock, some people should make rock.

20
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: How many eggs can it the average hen lay? She

21
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: was dead by about two hundred and fifty to three

22
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: hundred a year five to six per week. Well roughly, yeah, clearly,

23
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: we just have a couple of chickens. You get overwhelmed

24
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: by eggs really really fast, like more eggs than you

25
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: can eat. Yeah. Yeah, I wish I had a neighbor

26
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: with chickens because I love eggs.

27
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: Uh. You know, it's not made clear in this account,

28
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 3: and I find this highly dissatisfying. Is who is claiming

29
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: what reed chicken egg laying? How far apart were they?

30
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 3: My chicken can lay one hundred eggs a day? No

31
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 3: it can't, Blue, blue blue, It's lucky if it lays

32
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: one a day. Guy ought to shoot you in your belly?

33
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 3: Who was on which side of the argument? What were

34
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: the claims and counterclaims here? What was the evidence presented?

35
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: All had been drinking and none were hit. Well that's

36
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: that's at least that's probably good anyway. Wow, Okay, so

37
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 3: this is interesting. Using your credit card at the checkout

38
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: line is about to get a lot more complicated now. Now,

39
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 3: Visa and MasterCards settled a long running legal battle that

40
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 3: gives merchants more flexibility on card acceptance. So your favorite

41
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 3: latte at your local coffee shop could soon cost you

42
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 3: five dollars or five dollars and ten cents or five

43
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 3: dollars in twenty five cents, depending on how you pay.

44
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 2: So, first of all, when did we completely abandon having

45
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: to show an ID with a credit card? Remember that

46
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: was a thing for many, many years because we're sign

47
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: anything here. What if this wasn't your credit card? But

48
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: now I use my watch. I tap with my watch

49
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: all the time. Nobody's ever asked me for an ID.

50
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah.

51
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 3: So anyway, settlement between Visa MasterCard and some US merchants

52
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 3: US merchants announced this week usher in a new era

53
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 3: of tiered pricing at the register, giving businesses more power

54
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 3: to charge fees depending on the credit card you use.

55
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: I like it when I'm behind some old lady who's

56
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: got a combination of a check and some EBT card

57
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: and like some coupons, and I don't know, I've been

58
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: a gift card. You're combining like five different things. Can

59
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: I just pay for it all and then you get

60
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: the hell out of my way?

61
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 3: Trying to trade in some shiny shells, a little farger,

62
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 3: a little wamp them.

63
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: Maybe I can come clean up on Saturday. And now

64
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: would not pay for the milk.

65
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: So this anti trust battle over interchange fees has been

66
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: going on for two decades, and I can't decide whether

67
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: that makes me wish I had become a lawyer, because

68
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 3: oh my god, you talk about you know, two farmers

69
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 3: claim they owned the cow. One farmer pulled on the head,

70
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: the other pulled on the tail, and the lawyer milked

71
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: the cow. They milking this cow for two decades. Settlement

72
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: still needs CORD approval, likely to be contested by some

73
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: merchant groups.

74
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.

75
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 3: Merchants have always had the right to refuse to do

76
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: business with a payment network entirely, like Costco only takes

77
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 3: Visa cards yep, but current network rules say if a

78
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: store accepts one Visa credit card, it has to accept

79
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: all Visa credit cards. Well, the settlement could change that

80
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 3: practice by allowing merchants to pick and choose which categories

81
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: of cards to accept within network.

82
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: There's also the dollar limit that I don't know if

83
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: there's any legality around it, but like I buy something,

84
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: they say you can only use your card if you

85
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: spent eight dollars or something, and then I got to

86
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 2: grab something else? What else you got? Okay, a cigarette? Laighter?

87
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: I don't smoke. Is this make it eight dollars? I

88
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 2: don't have any cash? Wow?

89
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 3: And the settlement could go further, allowing different search charges

90
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 3: depending on the category your card falls into, Like if

91
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: you have a basic no frills card, you might get

92
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: charged two and a half percent of the transaction amount.

93
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: It's the reverse of a cash discount, whereas if you

94
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 3: have a rewards card it's three percent. Really you really

95
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 3: wouldn't know what you're paying until you're paying it.

96
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: Paying cash just seems so troublesome. Adey change and then

97
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: where am I going to put that? Yeah? Track of that?

98
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 2: And then this story.

99
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 3: A man in France was having a swimming pool dug

100
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: in his backyard and they found eight hundred thousand dollars

101
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 3: worth of gold bars whoa uh town council confirmed the

102
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,679
Speaker 3: man will be allowed to keep the gold he found,

103
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: according to the French Newsman news agency, five gold bars

104
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 3: and a large amount of gold coins wrapped in plastic bags.

105
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: The man, who wishes to remain anonymous for reasons that

106
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 3: ought to be fairly obvious, reported define to the local council.

107
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 3: French archaeological officials and law enforcement got involved in determined

108
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: if the gold had been if the gold had archaeological significance,

109
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 3: in which case it could be considered state property, or

110
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: if it was stolen from somewhere and the gold bars

111
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 3: had unique ID numbers. Law enforcement determined the gold was

112
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 3: not stolen and the bars were only fifteen to twenty

113
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: years old, and so they had no historical significance, so

114
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 3: the guy got to keep them money. My daughter, who's

115
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 3: in law school right now, became at one point fascinated

116
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 3: by the law of abandoned property, which is fairly complicated

117
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 3: and convoluted because and I don't remember the details of it,

118
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 3: but like, if somebody sells you a house and it's

119
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 3: left on the property, I think they have a claim

120
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 3: to it still, But if you then sell the he

121
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 3: and the next guy they don't have a claim against

122
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 3: him or a certain number of years. Is super convoluted

123
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: and interesting. And anybody who's like a scavenger or what

124
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 3: do you call when you do that at sea, you

125
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 3: reclaim rex and stuff like that. There's all sorts of

126
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 3: laws surrounding that.

127
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just thinking we should do away with change

128
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: in general, shouldn't. We did away with the penny, but

129
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: with inflation, change is not worth much so you're down

130
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: less than a dollar, which is like, I don't know,

131
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: forty cents compared to what it was ten years ago.

132
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: And I'd be fine with stores that just don't do change.

133
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: They round up or down for everything. We'll just make

134
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 3: it even. Yeah, they'd always round up. I think there

135
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: would be an investigation shortly after whatever.

136
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: It's thirty cents. I don't want to carry around some

137
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: nickels and pennies. How about this, Daddy Warbucks.

138
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 3: Poor people frequently don't have credit cards and need to

139
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 3: do transactions in cash, and therefore we must have change.

140
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: And that's not what I see at the convenience store.

141
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: Usually have some sort of government card for the scratchers

142
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: vaping and energy drink. Yeah.

143
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 3: I try to stay away from poor people because I'm

144
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 3: afraid it might be catching.

145
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: But that was a joke.

146
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: That was a joke, friends, just joke, being silly. These

147
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 3: are serious times, confusing, dark, threatening times. Just trying to

148
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: have a little fun. You got the AI, you got

149
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 3: the Divors, Bird treading Card, fees.

150
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: Bird flows Center. Yeah, so enough of that. You have

151
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: a gender bending madness. We're gonna get to at the bottom.

152
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little gender bending madness update with some fresh

153
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: new material.

154
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: You know, I can't decide whether to do this today

155
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 2: or tomorrow.

156
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 3: Randy Weingarten, one of the most evil people on Earth,

157
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: has a new book out entitled Why Fascists Fear Teachers?

158
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

159
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 3: It is one of the most malignant loads of guana

160
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 3: I've ever come across.

161
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: Aren't that many people I hate? I hate her, I deeply,

162
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 2: deeply hate her. She is a force of evil on Earth, correct,

163
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: no doubt. Wow. And then the IO ces big new

164
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: announcement about not having dudes and women's sports as part

165
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: of the whole thing we need to talk about today.

166
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: Lots on the way. Stay here. I'm not trying to

167
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: send you to another podcast. But Tucker's latest is chemtrails

168
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: are real and it's worse than you even thought with

169
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: some special guest. Good lord, Yeah.

170
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 3: I'll look into that, but right now, it's a gender

171
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 3: bending madness update.

172
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: So I kept hearing about this thing called the Loco.

173
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 3: We're a brave world, so they Bloom is definitely off

174
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: the transgender craze, as the number of young people identifying

175
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: as transgender has been cut in half in like two years.

176
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 3: Just utterly ridiculous. But the hits keep coming. First, some

177
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: encouraging news from the Olympics.

178
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 4: The IOC will issue the band sometime early next year,

179
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 4: citing a new scientific review that found evidence men have

180
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 4: a permanent physical advantage over women athletes even after hormone therapy. However,

181
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 4: The Guardian newspaper says the band could still be a

182
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 4: year out and that the IOC is facing pushback to

183
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 4: a possible ban on athletes who reported female at birth

184
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 4: but have male chromosomes and the same testosterone level as men,

185
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 4: also known as differences in sexual development. That would include

186
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 4: athletes like South Africa's Casser Semenya, who won gold at

187
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 4: the London and Real Games before Track and Fields governing

188
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 4: body World Athletics banned DSc athletes from competing as women

189
00:10:59,320 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty.

190
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 2: A new study, you say that shows that men have

191
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 2: a permanent advantage even if they undergo it the transitioning.

192
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: I'll be darned it says here they're bigger and stronger

193
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 2: than women. I'll be damned. Good thing they did that

194
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 2: new study.

195
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, in Atlanta, the poor cops are still trying to

196
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 3: figure out what woke, idiot policy they're supposed to be following.

197
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 5: Sarah Swinson is a regular at the Tucker Reid Kocher Library.

198
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 5: She says after she used the ladies room on October twentieth,

199
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 5: a Decab police officer on hand for early voting confronted her.

200
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 2: He says, excuse me, sir, so misjendering me right away.

201
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: You're not a woman. That's obvious. This is a police matter.

202
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 2: There are women and little girls in there, and I

203
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: have to protect them. She says.

204
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 5: It ended up causing a scene in the middle of

205
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 5: the library, and she tried to de escalate. The next day,

206
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 5: she emailed library staff, who she says, reached out to

207
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 5: the Cab County Police, and I asked to Cab County

208
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 5: CEO Lorrain Cochran Johnson about all of this. She told

209
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 5: us the county supports the LGBTQ community, calling this a

210
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 5: teachable moment. The county further clarified their official position is

211
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 5: for library patrons to use whichever bathroom aligns with their

212
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 5: gender identity.

213
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 2: This is well trod ground, I realized, but it just

214
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: scurted me. What is the argument for why if you

215
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: got a penis, but you feel like a girl, you

216
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: should be in the girl's restroom as opposed to in

217
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: the restroom where every trans women are women. That's a

218
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: woman right there. That's an argument, but we all shouldn't

219
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 2: that man with the low voice, Jack, that was a woman.

220
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: That's my favorite part of the report is just the

221
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 2: the reporter was so matter of fact. She she was

222
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 2: in the bathroom, and then Sarah.

223
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 3: I used the restroom, the woman's restroom, like I've been

224
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 3: for months. I mean, he says, excuse me, sir. So

225
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 3: look he misgenders me right away. He says, you're not

226
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 3: a woman. That's obvious. I said, how dare you? The

227
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 3: poor little lady was offended.

228
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: That doesn't seem out aligned. Say I believe you're a woman,

229
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 2: and I'll call you she and call you by your name.

230
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: You're a woman, but you got a penis, so all

231
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 2: the penises are in one room and all the vaginas

232
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 2: are in a different room.

233
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 3: Ye have suggested just have anies and auti's you call

234
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 3: yourself whatever you want. But that is giving too much

235
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 3: ground to the transgender radical gender seria crowd. I won't

236
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 3: do it. It's a decent middle ground, I suppose for

237
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: a place like Atlanta that's trying to be woke, but

238
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 3: it's still absolutely ridiculous. Anyway, Again, ma'am, I'm sorry you

239
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 3: were offended. This is offensive.

240
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: Faith Blue hears Okay. Faith Smith was.

241
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 3: A twenty eight year old woman and inmate at the

242
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 3: Washington Correction Center for Women, viciously attacked a couple of

243
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 3: months ago by a six foot four inch male child molester.

244
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 3: Identify identifying as a transgender woman. And of course Washington

245
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 3: State puts men who claim to be women in women's

246
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 3: prisons out of some sort of psychosis. And here's a

247
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 3: gal who spent some time in the Central California Women's

248
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 3: Facility in Chochilli, California, one of the largest women's prisons

249
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 3: in the country, and she's writing about how she saw

250
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 3: firsthand how critical single sex spaces are for the safety

251
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 3: and dignity of incarcerated women. And she says one case

252
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 3: still haunts me. A male inmate isolated in a men's

253
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 3: prison for assaulting bunk mates was moved into a women's

254
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 3: cell with seven women. These women were trapped, their voices ignored.

255
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 3: This guy beat them through, her to the ground, punched

256
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 3: and cooked her, kicked her relentlessly.

257
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: I thought horrible. I thought this aspect of it would

258
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: get taken care of her with a lawsuit. I thought

259
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: that that would happen early on. Somebody would sue a state,

260
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: get like a half a billion dollars because you put

261
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 2: a dude in prison with me, and that put it

262
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: end to it. But it hasn't yet. Takes a while.

263
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 3: It takes a while the work its way through the system,

264
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 3: I would agree. And all the poor kids mutilated, they're

265
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 3: actually who are caught up in the social contagion. In

266
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 3: the last several years, there are still a hell of

267
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 3: a lot of them that are struggling to convince themselves

268
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 3: they did the right thing, because to admit otherwise would

269
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 3: be utterly heartbreaking for everybody involved. And so that's part

270
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 3: of the reason for the delay in that sort of

271
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 3: suit these and there have been a handful anyway of

272
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: the kids who got whisked along the activist pipeline and

273
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 3: got their body mutilated and castrated chemically and the rest

274
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 3: of it, and now will regret it. But those lawsuits

275
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 3: will come. Got a couple more stories for you. A

276
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 3: federal judge is ruled that the Bureau of Prisons, oh

277
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: this is a federal judge must provide sex change procedures

278
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 3: to a convicted pedophile who recently began identifying as transgender.

279
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: Brian Buckingham forty seven, serving Morgan twenty one years forty

280
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 2: seven just now determined. You know what I think I've

281
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 2: been chick. I'll down I've been wrong for half a century.

282
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: Brace yourselves, folks.

283
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 3: He sexually abused his own ten year old son and

284
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 3: produced child porn with the.

285
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: Boy, murder him or put him to death.

286
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 3: Shortly before sentencing, Buckingham began identifying as nanny, love them

287
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 3: to be female and put her to death, and in

288
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 3: court filings, the judge said they have to provide gender

289
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 3: affirming treatments like hormone therapy because his sexual dysfunction or

290
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 3: his dysphoriat worsened his depression in suicidal thoughts, and Magistrate

291
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 3: Judge David Crystal ruled that yes, that indeed, tax.

292
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: Dole will happily refer to her as her as we

293
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: give her the sodium pentathal. Excellent. I love that idea.

294
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 3: And finally, in disappointing news for New Hampshiretes, the first

295
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 3: openly trans lawmaker in the United States who was hailed

296
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 3: as a trailblazers, admitted to sickening child sex charges involving

297
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 3: young kids in a daycare. Former Democratic New Hampshire Reps

298
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 3: Stacy Marie Lawton, a biological male who identifies as female,

299
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 3: pleaded guilty to charges including child sexual exploitation of children

300
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 3: in Boston federal court. Faces up to thirty years in

301
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 3: federal prison. You don't even want to hear what this

302
00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 3: guy did.

303
00:16:59,280 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 2: No, I don't.

304
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 3: He's sexually confused and sick. That's taken a couple of

305
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: different forms, including I'm a girl. Now it's a mental disorder,

306
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 3: gender bending madness update.

307
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: Oh's rough, yep. Trump speaking at Arlington. We'll have a

308
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 2: little clip of that for Veterans Day, among other things

309
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 2: coming up. Armstrong and Getty today, to every veteran, we

310
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 2: love our veterans. We say the words too often left unsaid.

311
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: Thank you for your service. Thank you very much. President

312
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: Trump at Arlington National Ceremony Cemetery for Veterans Day, talking

313
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 2: to lots of people, talking about the one million people

314
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 2: that have given their lives in our nation's history to

315
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: protect this country and our culture. We talked earlier about

316
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: how three quarters of people say they would fight for

317
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: their country. In Asian India, for instance, about a third

318
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 2: in Europe and Canada would be willing to fight for

319
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 2: their country. So if you want to hear more of

320
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: that conversation, that was an hour three I think get

321
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 2: the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. That's a downer.

322
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 2: That is a dowter. What's your best joke? I need

323
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 2: something whimsical here, Michael, before I go into something else

324
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 2: that is depressing but very very interesting, but very interesting.

325
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 2: What's the best joke we got left? We haven't played

326
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 2: your favorite one?

327
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 6: Hey, finally, Taco Bella's, We've gone offering a Baja Blast

328
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 6: Pie chiller, which features a slice of Baja Blast pie

329
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 6: blended with vanilla ice cream and top with whipped cream

330
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 6: and chero crunch. That story again, weed is getting way

331
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 6: too strong.

332
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: Wow, that is some meal. Oo. Wow, sounds kind of good.

333
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 2: I just listening to a podcast yesterday. They got into

334
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: a conversation about sandwiches. I don't know a lot about sandwiches,

335
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 2: but like this, it's like subway sort of sandwiches. What

336
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 2: do you call sandwich? Like that? As a subway sandwich,

337
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 2: there are a number of different regionals hogyes, subway sandwiches,

338
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 2: grind grinders, whatever, they are right, and I just thought

339
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: somebody mocked Subway. They said, well, one thing I wouldn't

340
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: do is get it at Subway, And my main experience

341
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 2: with sandwiches like that is from Subway. And I just thought,

342
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 2: I've got to work at branching out. I don't know

343
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: if I can do that in the town I live in.

344
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 2: But places that make, you know, real sandwiches with real

345
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 2: bread and real ingredients to try that out.

346
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 3: Well, well, Subway does. They're just fairly straightforward. I would

347
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 3: say that there are sandwich shops that way more adventurous

348
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 3: in their ingredients and just interesting flavor combinations with Subways. No,

349
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 3: they were talking about They weren't talking about different stuff.

350
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 3: They're talking about like, you know, roast beef on bread

351
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 3: with mayonnaise and mustard being completely different at a non

352
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 3: Subway place. You tell me, because I don't have the

353
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 3: I don't have the experience it is, you would say

354
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 3: that's accurate. Yeah, yeah, just the way the meat is

355
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 3: seasoned than prepared and all a little more painstaking.

356
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 2: You can pay more money for it, but right I

357
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 2: expect that. Yeah, Okay, I need to seek that out

358
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:15,719
Speaker 2: of my life. Life's too short. Teat you want something depressing, Oh, yes,

359
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: you see. San Diego has released a new report documenting

360
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 2: a steep decline in the academic preparedness of its freshmen.

361
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: We've been on this story for quite some time.

362
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 3: The number of entry knock me down with a useless diploma,

363
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 3: no kidding. The number of entering students needing remedial math

364
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 3: remedial math as a college kid has exploded from one

365
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 3: in one hundred back in the early two thousands to

366
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 3: one in eight whah, some of the numbers around one

367
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 3: percent to what's one in eight fifteen percent.

368
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 2: The report also showed that nearly one in five students

369
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 2: failed to meet entry level writing requirements.

370
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 3: Fuck, I need remedial math. That's kind of funny. That's ironic.

371
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 3: From one percent to twelve and a half percent. I'm sorry,

372
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 3: what was that remedial writing? Yeah, it doesn't surprise me.

373
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 2: Very low. Also, the supuriation does coincide with the COVID

374
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 2: nineteen pandemic, but standardized the elimination of standardized testing because

375
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 2: that'd be unfair to certain groups and is racist. Great inflation,

376
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 2: which we all know about. It's been good for the

377
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: teachers to be able to say all of my students

378
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 2: are now getting bees even though they would have been

379
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 2: c's twenty years ago, and the expansion of admissions from

380
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 2: under resourced high schools but forcing colleges to be able

381
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 2: to allow them in. Here's my favorite part of this

382
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: story though, that the mention the reason that I brought

383
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 2: it up percentages of students who correctly answered questions at

384
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 2: each grade level. So they they ask college kids coming

385
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 2: into college at U SEE San Diego, they had them

386
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: do math for like first grade math, second grade math,

387
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 2: third grade math up through eighth grade. So the good

388
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 2: news is people coming into UC San Diego, which is

389
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 2: an expensive college to go to, eighty seven percent of

390
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 2: the people going to the university could do first grade math.

391
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: Shouldn't it be higher than that first grade? So you

392
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 2: got slightly over one out of ten that can't even

393
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 2: do first grade math? Why are they at your college? Boy?

394
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 3: I knew high school diplomas were worthless and perfunctory. They're

395
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 3: given out automatically. I had not realized it was that bad. Well,

396
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 3: I had the experience.

397
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 2: I've talked about this on the air, and I hate

398
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 2: talking about it because some of the people involved are very,

399
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: very nice people who worked really hard helping me and

400
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 2: my kid. But they were so hell bent on getting

401
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 2: him up to grade level, since he didn't go to

402
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 2: school until he was in fourth grade, getting him up

403
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 2: to grade level, and they just exaggerated, would be a

404
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: kind word, misrepresented, He's at grade level. And I remember

405
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 2: I was all excited because I was following this and

406
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 2: everything like that. I started asking him some questions and

407
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 2: I was like, wait a second, why don't you know

408
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 2: the answer to him? And so I sat down, did

409
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 2: some mathelm. He wasn't even freaking close. Yeah, but they

410
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 2: were telling the parent me that he was at grade

411
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 2: level and was ready to go on to the next grade. No,

412
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 2: he's not, I said, he's not even close. You're not

413
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 2: doing anybody any favors by doing that. Maybe you maybe

414
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 2: the school, but you're certainly not doing me or him

415
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 2: any favors by claiming he can do at that time

416
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: it was fifth grade bath when he can't.

417
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, the road to hell is paved with good intentions,

418
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 3: but the road all sorts of places are paved with

419
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 3: good intentions just everywhere.

420
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 2: But like success anyway, back to this thing, and I

421
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 2: think this is how you end up with because you're

422
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 2: not allowed to fail people anymore, which is nuts, right, sure,

423
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 2: Getting back to this, so eighty seven percent of the

424
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 2: kids going into UC San Diego could do first grade math. Congratulations.

425
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 2: Second grade math drops to eighty two percent. Oh boy,

426
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 2: third grade math we're down to seventy four percent. So

427
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 2: you now got a quarter of the people going into

428
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 2: U SEE San Diego that can't do third grade math.

429
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: My mind is already blown.

430
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 3: You're gonna need a bucket and a mop by the

431
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 3: time you get down to you know.

432
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 2: Fifth grade. Go ahead. Fourth grade math, we're at sixty

433
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 2: four percent, so you got almost a third. You got

434
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 2: a little over a third that can't do fourth grade math.

435
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 2: You're about half at fifth grade. Half the students and

436
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 2: do fifth grade math. What the hell? Sixth grade it's

437
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:02,959
Speaker 2: at two thirds. Can't do it. College math, nobody can

438
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 2: do it. Seventh grade about sixty percent can't do it.

439
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 2: Eighth grade math. Only nineteen percent of people were proficient

440
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 2: with eighth grade math. Appreciate out of middle school? Yeah, okay,

441
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 2: that is the whole teachers passing them along knowing they

442
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 2: can actually do it, but you're not allowed to hold

443
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 2: them back, and it would really lower our scores. If

444
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 2: we were honest here.

445
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 3: And great inflation and teaching woke crap instead of math.

446
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 3: Do you remember over and over again we've read to you.

447
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 3: I could do probably dig it up again, but I

448
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 3: don't feel like it. The state wide guidelines. Now, i'd

449
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 3: imagine the majority of kids going to UC San Diego

450
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 3: were schooled in California. Maybe not a huge majority, but

451
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,719
Speaker 3: the majority probably Remember the state wide guidelines call for

452
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 3: students to center anti racism and what's the other DEI in.

453
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 2: All classes, including math. So you don't think that's a

454
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 2: factor including math?

455
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, two plus two doesn't equal four, It doesn't necessarily

456
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 3: equal four. That's white supremacy. How could that not have

457
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 3: a just a cancerous effect?

458
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: I realize on this show we declare six different things

459
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 2: per day. Is the biggest problem in the country. But

460
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 2: your regular go to of our education system K through

461
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: graduate school, Yeah, is the biggest problem is probably what

462
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 2: I would sign on to.

463
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 3: The spring of poison that's pouring into so many of

464
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 3: our other institutions.

465
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: The reason I elevated to the biggest problem is because

466
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 2: of the tentacles it has going forward. People that either

467
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 2: are under educated, trying to make a living, in the

468
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 2: world or born to all kinds of crazy s that

469
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 2: they're going to believe the rest of their lives. That's

470
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 2: anness problem.

471
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 3: I was gonna save this, and I probably still will

472
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 3: for a campus madness update coming up at some point.

473
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 3: But I've just been aware of this book The Breakdown

474
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 3: of Higher Education, how it happened, the damage it does,

475
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 3: and what can be done by a guy who is

476
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 3: a actually, interestingly enough, a University of California professor. He

477
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 3: wrote a piece that they published in the Journal Today.

478
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 3: Higher ed needs receivership, not reform, meaning receivership means you're

479
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 3: bankrupt in you're owned by somebody else, or somebody else

480
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 3: runs you. The radicals who hollowed out America's universities can't

481
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 3: be trusted to restore their proper purpose. And his point is,

482
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 3: you know he makes it quite briefly, is that Point

483
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 3: two of Trump's Compact for Academic Excellence and Higher Education

484
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 3: is the key to reform. It asks that schools cultivate

485
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 3: a virant marketplace of ideas on campus, which is exactly

486
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 3: what the campus radicals have destroyed, and appealing to them

487
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 3: to reinstate it is crazy. They're not going to number one,

488
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 3: they don't want to, and number two, even if they did,

489
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 3: they wouldn't be able to because they don't believe in it.

490
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 3: So you got the kids, and we'll get more into

491
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 3: that another time. But you got the kids getting to

492
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 3: college with only twenty one or twenty percent of them

493
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 3: could get out of eighth grade math, and then they

494
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 3: don't learn anything at the college. But in doctrination, walk indoctrination,

495
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 3: I mean, it does need to go into receivership. Oh

496
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 3: and then on the other side of the aisle, you

497
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 3: got Randy Winingarten ahead of the Big teachers Union, coming

498
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 3: out with a book that says, anybody who challenges the

499
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 3: teachers Union is a fascist. Given the state of government education,

500
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard to imagine a less functional, more

501
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 3: diseased institution than government schools in the United States.

502
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 2: I know it's depressing.

503
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm more energized, but it is depressing. It absolutely is.

504
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 3: Maybe it's that my kids are out of school, but

505
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 3: I got one in law school, and law schools have

506
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 3: strong swung wildly left in the last twenty years too.

507
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 3: But I don't it's a clear objective, it's a clear

508
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 3: thing that needs to be done. I'm not sure it

509
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 3: can be done, but it needs to be done.

510
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 2: We will finish strong next. We got some interesting stuff

511
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: for his stay here. One of the most famous scientists

512
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 2: in human history died just a couple of days ago.

513
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 2: That would be James Watson. If you remember from grade

514
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 2: school and you had to learn this sort of thing.

515
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 2: He was, along with doctor Crick, discovered DNA and the

516
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 2: way the body is made, and the developments that have

517
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 2: come out of that are just endless. One double of

518
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 2: helicks was there. Double Helix was also the name of

519
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 2: his memoir, which is one of the most famous scientific

520
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 2: books ever written in supposed to be really good and

521
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 2: very accessible, and I actually should give it a read.

522
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: One of the interesting things about this he died at

523
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 2: age ninety seven, I think the other day, so he's

524
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 2: been alive a very long time. He was twenty five

525
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 2: when they made their giant one of the biggest discoveries

526
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 2: in human history breakthrough. He was twenty five years old.

527
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 2: That would be something to have the highlight of your

528
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 2: career that everybody references the rest of your life, especially

529
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 2: as you get older. Be something you did when you

530
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 2: were twenty five. I'm working on something new too. Yeah, yeah, whatever,

531
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 2: get back to us if you figured out, Yeah, I

532
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 2: loved your first album, oh twenty five. And then you

533
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 2: might remember this because we talked about it quite a

534
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 2: bit at the time. In two thousand and seven, he

535
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 2: did an interview where he said some fairly racist stuff

536
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 2: and then, as I remember, we were on the air

537
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: talking about it as one of the most famous scientists

538
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 2: of all time and hailed by everybody around the world,

539
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 2: and you want to know, prize and blah blah blah,

540
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 2: and taught at Harvard and he could fill lecture halls

541
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 2: everywhere he went. All of a sudden, he couldn't. For instance,

542
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 2: he said this to the London Sunday Times, I'm inherently

543
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 2: gloomy about the prospect of Africa because all our social

544
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is

545
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 2: the same as ours, whereas all testing says not really.

546
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 2: He elaborated that while he hoped for equality, people who

547
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 2: have to deal with black employees find that it's just

548
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 2: not true. Oh oh my god. And I remember at

549
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 2: the time, so two thousand and seven, he was already old.

550
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 2: He just died almost one hundred, so he was already

551
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 2: old and there was some speculation that was kind of like,

552
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 2: you know, you get old and you'd lose your filter

553
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 2: and don't really think straight and you know whatever. Yeh,

554
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 2: he was at that point in his life. But anyway,

555
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 2: Bloom was off the rows. He no longer would get hot,

556
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 2: he'd never no longer spoke at any lectures anywhere. He

557
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 2: lost all his honorary degrees from all the universities around

558
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 2: the world, all these different sorts of things, and now

559
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 2: is all it is. Uh. New York Times, for instance,

560
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 2: their their big Ulgi section had to include in the

561
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 2: first paragraph that he was also a racist.

562
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 3: Interesting that reminds me of a similar story, which I

563
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 3: will save from my final thought.

564
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 2: Cool, I'm strong, I'm strong. You're ready, Katie Green And yeah,

565
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 2: here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

566
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,719
Speaker 3: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.

567
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 3: To wrap up today. There is Michael Angelo pressing the buttons.

568
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 3: Michael watch final thought.

569
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 7: You know, the most impressing story for me today was

570
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 7: that Ai country song Yeah be at top of the

571
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 7: charts if you can. Nobody's gonna make any money in

572
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 7: music at all anymore.

573
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 2: It's done. Yeah, damn, Katie green are esteemed to Newswoman

574
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: As a final thought, Katie, just thank you to all

575
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 2: of our veterans today for their service and their sacrifice.

576
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 2: Jack final thought for us, Yeah, it's also thank you

577
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 2: to all the veterans on this Veterans Day, including my

578
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 2: brother and dad. I guess how the lesson is you

579
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 2: might have had a really good life, but you could

580
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 2: say something, write something really awful when you're almost dead,

581
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 2: and then that's not going to be what people remember

582
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 2: you for. Oh no, I try every day.

583
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 3: My final thought, in addition to thanks to all of

584
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 3: the veterans, is that, speaking of canceled things, I've been

585
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 3: trying desperately to find Faulty Towers after Prunenla's Scales died.

586
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 3: Greatest sitcom of all time, voted over and over again,

587
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 3: absolutely brilliant, hilarious. You can't find it, partly because it

588
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 3: used some politically incorrect terms. I've even used AI to

589
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 3: say where can I find this? And they tell me

590
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 3: Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV.

591
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 2: You can search and search and search, you can't find it.

592
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 2: I really want to show my friend's Faulty Towers who've

593
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 2: never seen it. Was it racial stuff or they?

594
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was one racial term I guess in one episode,

595
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 3: and god knows what else the know the woke police

596
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 3: in Britain especially, I have decided it's no good wow.

597
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 3: But if anybody has a line on where you can

598
