0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:45.839
<v Speaker 2>What the hell is this?

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:47.200
<v Speaker 3>Everybody?

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 2>That is?

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 4>That is Rapper too low? Who is appearing as a

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.600

0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 4>off in his pocket? Apparently somehow?

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, first of all, guests on a podcast. To have

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>a podcast, all you need to do is own a

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 1>phone or a computer. So is this a podcast with

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:10.560
<v Speaker 1>any I mean anyway, So he's sitting around talking to

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 1>a guy and his gun goes off. What's the most

0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>interesting to me is these people live such a lifestyle.

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>The reaction is, Hey, who's gun went off? Somebody's got.

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Somebody's gun went off.

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Whereas most of the company I keep, if there were

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:27.479
<v Speaker 1>a gun shot in the room, we would all be

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 1>quite flabbergasted.

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Who shot who?

0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh, is that a gun in your pocket?

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 4>Or you're just happy to be on my podcast. Hello,

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 4>play that again, Michael, just the beginning.

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 3>Of it and choices we got in life. Those were

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 3>your choices.

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Somebody show Are they okay? All right? Getting back to

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 2>our topic, motivating ourselves for the new year?

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Rapper too low? If metick to your diet through January.

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's beautiful.

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 4>So there are a couple of things I wanted to

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 4>do yesterday as kind of a kicking off the year thing.

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:13.960
<v Speaker 2>But we have so much, let's get to it. We

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 2>can't get to all of it. But I love this.

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:17.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna hit you with part of it and then

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 2>we'll move on. We got a bunch of stuff.

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.360
<v Speaker 4>But this is written by a guy named Jeff Goldstein,

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.919
<v Speaker 4>who is a writer I really like, and he has

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 4>this redeclaration of independence, and you'll know what he's driving

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 4>at immediately. Be it so understood. This is my vow

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 4>for the new year too. I refuse to unpack white violence.

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 4>I reject the idea that my existence perpetuates white power structures.

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 4>I will not, and in fact cannot, examine my ipplicit biases.

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm an individual. I refuse to grant determined interpretive communities

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.360
<v Speaker 2>authority over my being, my meaning is mine. It's what

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 2>makes me me.

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm not taking any journey to discover the impact of

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.640
<v Speaker 4>my privilege on black and brown people. I will not

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 4>become anti racist or anti fascist to satisfy your demands.

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 4>I reject cultural Marxism. I am an individual. I'm not

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 4>divined by my color, my lorige, and my sex. I'm

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.480
<v Speaker 4>jeff good to meet you. I will not respect your

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 4>pronouns or celebrate your queerness. I am hostile to your

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 4>sexualization of children. I reject your triggers and your desire

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 4>to control my speech.

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 2>I know who and what you are.

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 4>You are my presumptive master, or else the useful idiot

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.680
<v Speaker 4>who empowers him. But I will grant you and your

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.959
<v Speaker 4>ideology no power over me. There's more you want to

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 4>hear a little more sure. I reject equity because it

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 4>is collectivism disguised as virtue. I reject inclusivity because it

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 4>is inorganic, superficial, and contrived.

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 2>I reject mandated diversity.

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 4>I will not surrender to the crayon box mafia, nor

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 4>do the gender changelings who pretend I am construct answerable

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 4>to the whims.

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 2>Cultural appropriation is merely culture.

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 4>It expands to include and it makes up the very

0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 4>fabric of a pluralistic society. No such thing as digital blackface.

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 4>My whiteness is not violent, my sex is not oppressive.

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 4>My religion doesn't concern you, and my children are not

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 4>yours to mold.

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Your beliefs will not be imposed on me.

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:15.840
<v Speaker 4>The state will not parent my Sonsy Yes.

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.279
<v Speaker 2>Digital blackface, I'd forgotten that term.

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, and again if you've lost a thread, This

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.360
<v Speaker 4>is a re declaration of independence.

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.279
<v Speaker 2>Queer theory is critical. Race theory is critical.

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 4>Consciousness is the Marxist rejection of the individual as individual.

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 4>I have some stats on how many states queer theory

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.920
<v Speaker 4>is being taught in schools to little children as truth

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 4>and is as shocking. Well, one more time. Queer theory

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.919
<v Speaker 4>is critical. Race theory is critical. Consciousness is the Marxist

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 4>rejection of the individual as individual. Cultural Marxism is determined

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 4>to raise norms so chaos, tear families asunder, and reduce

0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:01.039
<v Speaker 4>being to collective conformity. I reject its premises is fully

0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 4>as I reject its adherents. I will not comply. I

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:08.159
<v Speaker 4>will not mouth your slogans. I will not denounce on command.

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 4>I am not your tool and you are not my minder,

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.039
<v Speaker 4>and he has a little more about my speech is

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.400
<v Speaker 4>my own. I reject each of your excuses to silence me.

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.920
<v Speaker 4>I don't ask for your protections. I can filter information

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 4>without your interference, Mark Zuckerberg, and I despise your presumption

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:28.480
<v Speaker 4>to protect me from myself. I am your sworn enemy,

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.480
<v Speaker 4>and you are mine. I will not perform for you.

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.720
<v Speaker 4>I will not read from your script or dancing your follies.

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.840
<v Speaker 4>Oh my brother, we'll post this at armstrong igedti dot com.

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.039
<v Speaker 2>It is brilliant and he goes on. But that's the main.

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Party, and it fits in with that Wall Street Journal

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 1>article I was reading from last hour. The progressive moment

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>in global politics is over. That moment existed mostly online

0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 1>and with the high level university set. It was a

0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 1>much smaller group than we all fought were feared, thank god.

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 2>But it was.

0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Misleading because it was so prevalent in TV, newspapers and

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Twitter in places like that. But it was not near

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.600
<v Speaker 1>as big as we all thought. And the best thing

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.719
<v Speaker 1>that could happen to people that are on the right

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.280
<v Speaker 1>side of that, and you could be a lifelong Democrat

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>and be to the right of all that stuff by

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 1>a law shirt like Bill Maherr and lots of people.

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 1>The best thing that could happen for us is if

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 1>they continue to believe that they have the numbers they

0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 1>think they have as opposed to the tiny fraction that

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 1>actually agrees with them.

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Right. I'm reminded of something great you've brought to us.

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:43.360
<v Speaker 4>I think it was last year about how it only

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:47.279
<v Speaker 4>takes fifteen percent of a population that's dedicated to a

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.920
<v Speaker 4>revolution to make it successful. Because you want to give

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:52.279
<v Speaker 4>us the nickel version of that.

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you have to have the fifteen percent really really

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.599
<v Speaker 1>active group that wants to overthrow the current regime. But

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>you get a big enough chunk of people who mostly

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:05.159
<v Speaker 1>agree with you. They're not going to really do much,

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 1>but they're not going to get in the way. And

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:07.960
<v Speaker 1>then you have the crowd that's scared of you, and

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 1>you can easily get over fifty percent.

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.680
<v Speaker 4>Right, right, And that's how you went. And imagine if

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 4>you were in that hardcore fifteen percent that wanted to,

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, for the sake of the argument overthrow

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 4>Western society in the name of neo Marxism. Imagine if

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:25.480
<v Speaker 4>your first step was to capture media and education. I mean,

0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 4>that would be an enormous coupe because you could, and

0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm stating the obvious here, you could project the idea

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 4>that you have way way more mass than you do

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 4>for your radical ideas like radical gender theory, which I will.

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Give you a clue.

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 4>It's like over a third of American states are teaching

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 4>radical gender theory. There's no such thing as a man

0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.240
<v Speaker 4>or a woman. You get to choose to little kids

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 4>in schools. So man, these scumbags, And I'm sorry for

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.840
<v Speaker 4>the for the you know, I'm a wardsmith. I can

0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.160
<v Speaker 4>do better than that. I apologize these monsters. At least

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 4>it's more adult. The fact that these monsters have gotten

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:10.520
<v Speaker 4>as far as they have is really really troubling. But

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:15.360
<v Speaker 4>you know, on we go with the fight Trudeau resigning

0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 4>in Canada is a lot of what sparked, For instance,

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 4>the Ulstreet Journal article one on the list of Western

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 4>leaders or parties that have really suffered defeats, trying to

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:33.160
<v Speaker 4>ride the whole pronouns LATINEX, you should be ashamed of

0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 4>yourself for being a white male thang.

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 2>Right, yeah, yeah, he was huge into that.

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 4>And what's really troubling about this, and we've had a

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.080
<v Speaker 4>bunch of conversations as you got to year. Well, just

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 4>you keep calling it fifteen percent for the sake of

0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:48.080
<v Speaker 4>the argument, you get your hardcore fifteen percent that are activists. Well,

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 4>the genius of neo Marxism developed in the intellectual salons

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.719
<v Speaker 4>of Europe in the forties and fifties, nineteen forties and

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:57.959
<v Speaker 4>nineteen fifties. They wrote books, they signed their name, they

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 4>told us precisely what they wanted to do. The genius

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.720
<v Speaker 4>of it is they have crafted, and it's an evil genius,

0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:10.520
<v Speaker 4>these moral sounding arguments that convince a certain sort of

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.840
<v Speaker 4>person that they are doing the right thing morally by

0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:18.000
<v Speaker 4>becoming an adherent to Neo Marxism. And it's particularly effective

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:21.960
<v Speaker 4>among women who want to seek agreement and groups and

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.320
<v Speaker 4>acceptance of that sort of thing. And it's particularly successful

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 4>among your university crowd who want to be on the

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 4>cutting edge of thought. That's how they gratify their egos

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:36.479
<v Speaker 4>by being the innovator, the new person, the revolutionary. It's

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 4>incredibly I mean, they take practically sexual glee for being

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 4>innovators in the universities, because how are you going to

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 4>justify your big salary if you in any level of education,

0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 4>say you know that stuff we've been doing, it's perfect.

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.640
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't change it at all. Sure you've wasted your PhD.

0:09:55.960 --> 0:10:00.360
<v Speaker 4>So anyway, man, you have heard a lot of gunsh uns.

0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.000
<v Speaker 4>If your reaction to a gun shot in a room

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 4>is this.

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.960
<v Speaker 3>And choices we got in life? Those were your choices?

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Who?

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Who could be calmer than that shot? Who did somebody

0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 2>get shot?

0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 5>Huh what?

0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:22.600
<v Speaker 2>It would be the.

0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Most amazing thing that ever happened in my life if

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 1>a gun went off in a room.

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:29.120
<v Speaker 2>We're sitting there interviewing, I don't know.

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.679
<v Speaker 4>Rich Lowry from the National Review of rich says who

0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:33.280
<v Speaker 4>shot who?

0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Who?

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Somebody gets shot? And choices we got in life? Those

0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:39.079
<v Speaker 2>were your choices?

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:41.839
<v Speaker 1>Who?

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:47.720
<v Speaker 4>It actually pretty interesting conversation before you know, the gun

0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:52.200
<v Speaker 4>went on. So the other thing I wanted to squeeze

0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 4>in a couple more kind of wrapping up the year,

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.640
<v Speaker 4>looking forward to the year things, because I I'll rant

0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 4>and rave about the previous story.

0:10:57.960 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 2>For the rest of my life.

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:04.680
<v Speaker 4>But uh, Jan Crawford was on CBS's face the Nation Sunday.

0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:09.080
<v Speaker 4>I saw that, and she brought the thunder that the

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:13.040
<v Speaker 4>most uncovered and underreported topic last year was clearly she said,

0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 4>quote that to me, Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline, they

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:21.920
<v Speaker 4>became undeniable in the televised debate, unquestioned that that's the

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.200
<v Speaker 4>most underreported story of the year.

0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely true, but will be lost to history.

0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 2>It's amazing that there isn't more introspection over that.

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:37.119
<v Speaker 4>Well, here's the really interesting part, she says, still incredibly,

0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.680
<v Speaker 4>we read in the Washington Post that his advisers are

0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:41.560
<v Speaker 4>saying that he regrets that he dropped out of the race,

0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.520
<v Speaker 4>that he thinks he could have beaten Trump. And I

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.840
<v Speaker 4>think that is either delusional or the gaslighting the American people.

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.520
<v Speaker 2>But CBS's chief Election.

0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:53.120
<v Speaker 4>And campaign correspondent Robert Costa jumped up and said, well,

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.400
<v Speaker 4>President Biden has repeatedly said he was sick during the

0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 4>debate in Atlanta, and he's always been fine, and he

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.240
<v Speaker 4>leaves fine. That is his position, the position of many

0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:05.040
<v Speaker 4>of his top stadents as well, is even though there

0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:10.480
<v Speaker 4>is that reporting that Jan was talking to reduce the obvious,

0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:16.079
<v Speaker 4>accepted by everyone reality of Joe Biden's cogg Gold decline,

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.520
<v Speaker 4>as there is that reporting, but he has now Jan

0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.719
<v Speaker 4>he has said repeatedly ad a cold Costa's lost to me,

0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 4>he's he's lost his mind.

0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who that's for. Eighty five percent of

0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:32.040
<v Speaker 1>America before that debate thought he shouldn't serve again. So

0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:35.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who you're serving with that, But enjoy

0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:41.200
<v Speaker 1>your bubble bob. Why haven't I invested in an Invidios stock?

0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's because I can't say it pronounce it correctly.

0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:48.000
<v Speaker 2>It was fine. They made a big announcement. Today's jumping again.

0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Damn it, damn it late.

0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Don't get in now. The announcement's pretty interesting, among other things.

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 1>On the way, stay.

0:12:54.559 --> 0:13:04.319
<v Speaker 2>Here, Okay, why is this happening to me on a Monday.

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:07.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm in a waymo car to writer support. This may

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.320
<v Speaker 2>be recorded for quality assurance. This car is just going

0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 2>in circles either, Mike is a scab. I'm calling from

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Weymouth Support.

0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm just calling because I receive a notification at your

0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.080
<v Speaker 4>car might be experiencing some rotting issue.

0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:21.280
<v Speaker 2>Please scare with me while I am here. Yeah, I

0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.440
<v Speaker 2>got a flight to catch. Why is this thing going

0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.319
<v Speaker 2>in a circle. I'm getting dizzy and I'm really really sorry.

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Mike.

0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.040
<v Speaker 2>We're currently working with the situation on the vehicle.

0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 4>Is it circling around a parking lot?

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Rowing around a parking lot? I got my seat belt on,

0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:38.160
<v Speaker 2>I can't get out the car. Has this been hacked?

0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:39.760
<v Speaker 2>What's going on? I feel like I'm in the movies.

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:42.800
<v Speaker 1>So that's a guy in one of the Waymo cars

0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 1>in San Francisco. They're all over the place. I was

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:46.360
<v Speaker 1>there just a couple of weeks ago, and I've been

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 1>meaning to ride one. The only thing that slowed me

0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 1>down is they don't remember to download the app, and

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, you gotta download the app and put in

0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.560
<v Speaker 1>a credit card and blah blah blah that sort of stuff.

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:57.160
<v Speaker 1>As soon as I remember to do that, I will

0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.280
<v Speaker 1>ride one of those Waymouth cars. They're all over the place.

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:02.439
<v Speaker 1>Say look really cool, And every once in a while

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.839
<v Speaker 1>you have a story like this where a guy is

0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.559
<v Speaker 1>trapped inside and it's going in circles?

0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Are they they?

0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:09.319
<v Speaker 1>You know, they come to something in the road and

0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.840
<v Speaker 1>they don't know what to do, But they're driving constantly

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:13.920
<v Speaker 1>all over the city, so most of the time it

0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:15.360
<v Speaker 1>must work pretty well.

0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:18.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And they're expanding to I can't remember. I'm trying

0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 4>to find the article in front of me. It's a

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.080
<v Speaker 4>bunch of different cities in Texas and that sort of thing.

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 4>This is the year that not nationwise certainly, but in

0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 4>spots across the country, the self driving cab becomes a reality.

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and that leads me into this story. What is

0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 1>the most valuable company in the world. If you're in

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 1>stocks at all, you probably know that it's Nvidia, Nvdia.

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.360
<v Speaker 1>They need another vowel in there. It's surprising that they've

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 1>been as successful as they have. Three and a half

0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:54.200
<v Speaker 1>trillion dollars, outstrips the previous number one, which had been

0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 1>for decades, Apple by a lot. And it's ninety percent

0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.040
<v Speaker 1>of their businesses these computer chips, well the consumer some

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.320
<v Speaker 1>were An electronic show in Las Vegas is going on

0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.840
<v Speaker 1>right now. Remember when you went a couple of years ago, Michael.

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:05.800
<v Speaker 2>It's a it's a cool thing to go.

0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:06.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:07.960
<v Speaker 2>I had a great time. Yeah, a lot of people.

0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I would love to go some year just to check

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:13.920
<v Speaker 1>it out once. But anyway, the guy that runs in Vidia,

0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Jensen Wang.

0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Is that how you say his name? I don't know.

0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.360
<v Speaker 1>I should know, since he's one of the most powerful

0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:23.000
<v Speaker 1>people in the world. Unveiled their next family of gaming

0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:26.400
<v Speaker 1>chips that he says, is going to make robotics technology

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 1>just explode. These new chips are twice as fast as

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 1>the previous chips, not a marginal increase, ten percent faster,

0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:39.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty percent, fifty percent, twice as fast, wow, as the

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:40.520
<v Speaker 1>previous chips.

0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.680
<v Speaker 2>And what it's going to do about Yeah.

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 1>And he says that in the next couple years, robots

0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:51.040
<v Speaker 1>will be training robots, because that's one of the things

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 1>that's really slowing things down is having people have to

0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:59.000
<v Speaker 1>program all these robots one at a time and it's

0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.000
<v Speaker 1>just a laboring ten some slow et cetera.

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Robots.

0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.480
<v Speaker 4>So you say goodbye to your internal organs, as they'll

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.160
<v Speaker 4>be ripping them out when they come for you.

0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why they would come and rip out

0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 1>my internal organs, but you're a fool.

0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 2>But I guess that's the real hold up.

0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:17.440
<v Speaker 1>So when the robots can train the robots, then you'll

0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 1>have just an exponential doubling every time explosion of robots everywhere.

0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.240
<v Speaker 2>We'll see how that goes. Wow.

0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.240
<v Speaker 4>But gaming robots, I mean, that's that's what I need

0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.520
<v Speaker 4>to I would like a robot sparring partner, because you

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 4>know how much I love to box. That would I

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:36.640
<v Speaker 4>don't love to box, but that'd be something though, or

0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 4>tennis or what have you. Nobody wants to play golf

0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.240
<v Speaker 4>that dad, say, robot, let's go play nine holes.

0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:47.280
<v Speaker 1>We've been kind of sleeping as a as a species

0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.560
<v Speaker 1>on this whole AI Robot thaning. But it's coming fast

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:54.240
<v Speaker 1>and it'll it'll be fun to watch it. And I

0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know do whatever it's going to do to the world.

0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.880
<v Speaker 4>Well, those of us who feel the existent terror will

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.880
<v Speaker 4>be in the woods hiding from our robot overlords. And

0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 4>you fools, you naive fools, you'll be the first to

0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:07.200
<v Speaker 4>have your organs yanked.

0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:08.520
<v Speaker 1>At tell you what if I could get one to

0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.760
<v Speaker 1>do all my kids laundry, I'll buy it tomorrow. That'd

0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 1>be pretty awesome. We got a lot more on the way.

0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Text line is four one five nine five kftc Armstrong

0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:25.160
<v Speaker 1>and Getty. So Mark Zuckerberg, who runs Facebook? Facebook's still

0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:26.680
<v Speaker 1>how big a deal with Facebook?

0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Still? I don't have.

0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:34.160
<v Speaker 1>A sense of that when I googled on the wayne right, Well,

0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.199
<v Speaker 1>it's not as big as it once was. I realize that,

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:40.560
<v Speaker 1>but uh, is it still? But you mean Facebook?

0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Or Meta? Well?

0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.359
<v Speaker 1>I know it's meta. We no I mean Facebook, I

0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:46.160
<v Speaker 1>mean Facebook. How big a deal of Facebook?

0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:51.080
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's still making enormous amounts of revenue, right, It's

0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.359
<v Speaker 4>easy to say, well, it's declining. It's declined from a

0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:57.200
<v Speaker 4>zillion dollars a year in revenue to you know whatever,

0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:58.159
<v Speaker 4>slightly less than that.

0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, or it's declined from every buddies on it

0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:03.520
<v Speaker 1>all day to most people are on it a lot,

0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:05.760
<v Speaker 1>which still makes you very dominant.

0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:06.200
<v Speaker 2>AnyWho.

0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.359
<v Speaker 1>Zuckerberg, who runs the thing, made to some big announcements

0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:11.399
<v Speaker 1>today was on Fox to talk about it.

0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:14.320
<v Speaker 6>We're gonna get back to our roots and focus on

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:19.119
<v Speaker 6>reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression on

0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:22.399
<v Speaker 6>our platforms. More specifically, we're going to get rid of

0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:25.840
<v Speaker 6>fact checkers and replace them with community notes similar to

0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:27.439
<v Speaker 6>X starting in the US.

0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:29.960
<v Speaker 4>If you're making big changes, does that mean you were

0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:31.199
<v Speaker 4>doing something wrong before?

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Look, this is a great opportunity for us to reset

0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.240
<v Speaker 2>the balance in favor of free expression. As Mark says

0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:40.600
<v Speaker 2>in that video, what we're doing today is we're getting

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:42.160
<v Speaker 2>back to our roots and free expression.

0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:46.080
<v Speaker 1>That is pretty damned interesting. I think it's really good news.

0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:50.160
<v Speaker 1>But it's first of all, it's interesting that He's okay

0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:53.960
<v Speaker 1>with flat out saying in his announcement, We're going to

0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:55.200
<v Speaker 1>do it like Twitter's doing it.

0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:58.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just basically Elon's right and I was wrong.

0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:01.600
<v Speaker 4>I think it's at least my interesting that that second

0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:04.560
<v Speaker 4>voice you heard was Joel Kaplan, who's this spokeshole for

0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:08.000
<v Speaker 4>Meta as opposed to Mark Zuckerberg, because in a very

0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:11.639
<v Speaker 4>politician y way, he refused to acknowledge any mistake.

0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:13.320
<v Speaker 2>You just well, who are going to get back to

0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:14.640
<v Speaker 2>our roots of blah blah blah.

0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:18.480
<v Speaker 4>Because Zuckerberg has said not unfactioned friends, I think that

0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:21.160
<v Speaker 4>was he on tape, doesn't matter. He said it's gone

0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:23.040
<v Speaker 4>too far quote We've reached a point where it's just

0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:26.400
<v Speaker 4>too many mistakes and too much censorship. The recent elections

0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:29.320
<v Speaker 4>also feel like a cultural tipping point towards once again

0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.560
<v Speaker 4>prioritizing speech, and he also said the fact checkers have

0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:34.360
<v Speaker 4>become too politically biased.

0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Mark Zuckerberg is the dumbest sounding billionaire in the world.

0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Now he I assume he's smarter, and I think he's

0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:43.800
<v Speaker 1>just socially awkward. Is that his problem could be just

0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:49.399
<v Speaker 1>comes off as anyway. This is unmistakably good news as

0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:52.240
<v Speaker 1>the whole fact check thing is well, it's we all

0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:52.960
<v Speaker 1>know what it is.

0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:55.880
<v Speaker 2>And has been for a long time.

0:19:56.640 --> 0:20:01.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, no kidding, it's it's just dressing up my opinion, man,

0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:04.919
<v Speaker 4>is a fact and telling you to be quiet.

0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:07.399
<v Speaker 2>You don't get an opinion because mine is a fact.

0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:07.960
<v Speaker 2>But isn't.

0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Wikipedia's model is basically community notes, right, And a lot

0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:15.520
<v Speaker 1>of you feel like it's not.

0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Well up and no, no, I would say, no, that's

0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:19.320
<v Speaker 2>not true. It used to be.

0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:24.040
<v Speaker 4>Now it is run top down by a the Wikipedia Foundation,

0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:28.320
<v Speaker 4>which is an extremely progressive organization, and it no longer

0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:30.120
<v Speaker 4>operates the way it grew up.

0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:31.400
<v Speaker 2>That's interesting.

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't I never I don't Wikipedia stuff that could

0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:36.639
<v Speaker 1>be controversial very much. And I don't know if it

0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:39.240
<v Speaker 1>seeps into the stuff that I look at, you know,

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:42.280
<v Speaker 1>like I look up Baye Brute's pitching.

0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:44.159
<v Speaker 2>Record, that sort of stuff. I don't know.

0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:46.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I'm being misled by that sort

0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:46.920
<v Speaker 1>of stuff on Wikipedia.

0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Wikipedia. No, No, I know what you mean.

0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:55.600
<v Speaker 4>I will occasionally, I'll use it for something quote unquote controversial,

0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:55.960
<v Speaker 4>but I.

0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:57.199
<v Speaker 2>Know what I'm looking at.

0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:00.480
<v Speaker 1>It's like, you know, looking at NBC News' version story,

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:03.880
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty transparent. I feel like, yeah, yeah, but yeah,

0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:07.199
<v Speaker 1>Wikipedia has gone way left from what it was ten

0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:07.720
<v Speaker 1>years ago.

0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:10.080
<v Speaker 2>I've been sitting on that story for a while. Just

0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:11.640
<v Speaker 2>trust me, it's crazy.

0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:13.800
<v Speaker 4>It used to be left leaning in the way that

0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:17.359
<v Speaker 4>virtually anything involved people who love words and like to

0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:19.880
<v Speaker 4>write and talk and want to change the world, they

0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:23.400
<v Speaker 4>practically all lean left. So in Wikipedia was that. Now

0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:25.000
<v Speaker 4>it's wildly like Marxist.

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:29.600
<v Speaker 1>So, for instance, if I didn't know much about the

0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:33.120
<v Speaker 1>October seventh massacre in Israel, and I thought a good

0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:36.000
<v Speaker 1>place to learn about it would be Wikipedia, you're saying, no,

0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:37.000
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't.

0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:40.679
<v Speaker 2>Beware, gotcha. Yeah, yeah, it would probably not.

0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:43.399
<v Speaker 4>You know what, I might during the commercial break, actually

0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:45.280
<v Speaker 4>take a look at that very thing. It's an interesting

0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:48.639
<v Speaker 4>question speaking of the progressive end of the scale, and

0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:54.400
<v Speaker 4>good for Zuckerberg. I mean, it's too late, and I'm

0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:58.119
<v Speaker 4>sure in plenty of progressive places, I'm sorry, in conservative places,

0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 4>he's getting a hell kicked out of him for doing

0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:05.280
<v Speaker 4>all the damage they did during COVID, for instance, and

0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:10.880
<v Speaker 4>all under pressure from the Biden administration. And now he's

0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:13.440
<v Speaker 4>as much as admitting, well, Trump's down now, so we're

0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:16.199
<v Speaker 4>gonna we're going to be a little more neutral about stuff,

0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:18.359
<v Speaker 4>and it is despicable on one hand.

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:21.520
<v Speaker 2>On the other hand, they're doing the right thing finally, so.

0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, speaking of your social media platforms and all that

0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:27.480
<v Speaker 1>sort of stuff. Big ruling while we were off for

0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:31.440
<v Speaker 1>two weeks, they court shot down that whole rule two

0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:33.159
<v Speaker 1>thirty or section two thirty.

0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:35.719
<v Speaker 2>Or whatever, whatever the heck it was in nine from

0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:36.200
<v Speaker 2>outer space.

0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was supposed to deal with that, and don't

0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:40.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't even remember if I was supposed to be

0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:42.760
<v Speaker 1>happy about that or sad about that. But anyway, they're

0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:45.199
<v Speaker 1>not going to change the way the relationship between the

0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:50.000
<v Speaker 1>government and those platforms.

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Right right. Yeah.

0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:53.240
<v Speaker 4>There were a couple of cases over break that I thought,

0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:56.040
<v Speaker 4>you know, I probably ought to look into that, but

0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:59.440
<v Speaker 4>it was one of those like a mid level court

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:04.120
<v Speaker 4>rejected the appeal of the rejection of the action by

0:23:04.119 --> 0:23:06.800
<v Speaker 4>the administration. I'm like, it's going to take me too

0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:08.480
<v Speaker 4>long to figure out what's going on. Let me know

0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:12.800
<v Speaker 4>when the final ruling comes in. Anyway, a couple of

0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:17.480
<v Speaker 4>things really quickly. The folks at the National Review have

0:23:17.720 --> 0:23:22.760
<v Speaker 4>collected a what they call the Wild Blue State Laws

0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:26.399
<v Speaker 4>of twenty twenty four. This is progressive state laws that

0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:30.040
<v Speaker 4>passed at the end of last year while everybody was

0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:33.040
<v Speaker 4>heading off to get drunk on eggnog and exchange gifts

0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:34.200
<v Speaker 4>and that sort of thing.

0:23:34.560 --> 0:23:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Or honor the birth of Jesus. You don't have to

0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:38.359
<v Speaker 1>just get drunk for Christmas.

0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:42.800
<v Speaker 4>Wow, I have been shamed, publicly shamed, and I deserve it.

0:23:43.200 --> 0:23:43.920
<v Speaker 2>I am ashamed.

0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:49.120
<v Speaker 4>California schools, for instance, barred officials from alerting parents about

0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:54.199
<v Speaker 4>gender dysphoria. Now, school officials aren't allowed to take your

0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:57.600
<v Speaker 4>kid on a field trip or administer tylan all or

0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:00.720
<v Speaker 4>any other over the counter medication without parental a. School

0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:04.280
<v Speaker 4>leaders must notify parents of any pesticides used on campus,

0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:05.560
<v Speaker 4>according to the state code.

0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:09.119
<v Speaker 1>But starting my god, so if at that school they

0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:11.440
<v Speaker 1>use roundup to get rid of the weeds around the

0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:13.840
<v Speaker 1>batting cage, they got to tell you.

0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:16.040
<v Speaker 2>But if you're kidding a pesticide, right for a bug.

0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:19.479
<v Speaker 2>If your kid decides to be a different gender, they

0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:20.320
<v Speaker 2>keep it a secret.

0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:24.520
<v Speaker 4>They're legally barred from alerting parents if their children show

0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:28.959
<v Speaker 4>symptoms of gender dysphoria of whatever sort. So if your

0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:32.719
<v Speaker 4>kid shows evidence of a mental illness, they're not allowed

0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:36.080
<v Speaker 4>to tell you in California not allowed.

0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Some spokeshole, not only not forced to, they're not allowed to.

0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:42.920
<v Speaker 2>It's forbidden. Yeah.

0:24:43.480 --> 0:24:47.159
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that beyond you don't have to, it's up to

0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:49.040
<v Speaker 1>you two, you're not allowed to.

0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:53.399
<v Speaker 2>That's crazy. Yeah, there ought to be groups of parents

0:24:53.400 --> 0:24:58.840
<v Speaker 2>marching on schools right now and committing completely non violent

0:24:58.960 --> 0:24:59.879
<v Speaker 2>acts of persuasion.

0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:03.639
<v Speaker 1>Has Gavin made a statement on that, because otherwise he

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:07.399
<v Speaker 1>runs for president, he's going to He's going to be

0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:12.760
<v Speaker 1>up against. Therefore, they them were for you again, just

0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:14.440
<v Speaker 1>like oh did Na Kamala.

0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:19.760
<v Speaker 4>He'll get absolutely electorally murdered. Absolutely. Newsom spokeshole claimed the

0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:24.800
<v Speaker 4>law quote protects the child parent relationship, how by preventing

0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:29.080
<v Speaker 4>politicians and school staff from inappropriately intervening in family matters

0:25:29.160 --> 0:25:31.960
<v Speaker 4>and attempting to control if, when, and how families have

0:25:32.119 --> 0:25:37.119
<v Speaker 4>deeply personal conversations. Wow, how orwellian is that? And people

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:41.560
<v Speaker 4>don't resort to arguments that or wellian because by accident

0:25:42.280 --> 0:25:45.640
<v Speaker 4>that's full on the ministry of peaces waging war.

0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:49.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, wow, that is crazy, Yeah, it is.

0:25:49.640 --> 0:25:52.560
<v Speaker 4>I mean if I were a sincere advocate of that position,

0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:57.840
<v Speaker 4>I'd say I would say, look, parents, and I've heard

0:25:57.880 --> 0:26:00.439
<v Speaker 4>this argument parents might go crazy and beat their child

0:26:00.560 --> 0:26:03.639
<v Speaker 4>or send them off to conversion camp or something, and

0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:06.000
<v Speaker 4>that would be cruel and abusive. I mean, it's a

0:26:06.200 --> 0:26:10.640
<v Speaker 4>terrible argument, but at least it is honest in its way.

0:26:10.960 --> 0:26:13.520
<v Speaker 4>It's perverse, but it's honest to say that the law

0:26:13.560 --> 0:26:16.720
<v Speaker 4>protects the child parent relationship by preventing politicians and school

0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:21.520
<v Speaker 4>staff from inappropriately intervening in family matters. That's incredible. I know,

0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:24.440
<v Speaker 4>it's horrified. That frightens the hell out of me. It's

0:26:24.440 --> 0:26:26.680
<v Speaker 4>a shout that there are people that would.

0:26:26.400 --> 0:26:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Write that sort of language knowing what they're doing.

0:26:31.640 --> 0:26:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Wow. You just said up is down. Believe me, follow me.

0:26:36.600 --> 0:26:41.080
<v Speaker 4>Wow, said a lawyer with the conservative Liberty Justice Center,

0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:45.119
<v Speaker 4>which is challenging the law and court Praise God. Opponents

0:26:45.160 --> 0:26:47.680
<v Speaker 4>of the lass se it violates parents' constitutional rights to

0:26:47.720 --> 0:26:51.720
<v Speaker 4>make decisions involving their children's physical, mental, and emotional well being.

0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Quote.

0:26:52.320 --> 0:26:54.640
<v Speaker 4>School officials do not have the right to keep secrets

0:26:54.640 --> 0:26:57.960
<v Speaker 4>from parents, but parents do have a constitutional right to

0:26:58.000 --> 0:27:00.320
<v Speaker 4>know what their minor children are doing at school. Oh well,

0:27:00.720 --> 0:27:02.679
<v Speaker 4>I hope the Supreme Court hits this one. In an

0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 4>outer space. It is obscene, it is horrifying, and It

0:27:05.880 --> 0:27:11.720
<v Speaker 4>is a shocking just a failure of the media to

0:27:11.800 --> 0:27:14.120
<v Speaker 4>not be digging into how horrific this is. But they're

0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:16.600
<v Speaker 4>so biased they don't I don't know. We could spend

0:27:16.600 --> 0:27:18.359
<v Speaker 4>the entire rest of our careers talking about this.

0:27:18.400 --> 0:27:21.479
<v Speaker 1>That's the most troubling thing I've heard this year. I

0:27:21.520 --> 0:27:26.359
<v Speaker 1>was troubled by the law, but that wording of it, yeah,

0:27:26.560 --> 0:27:29.600
<v Speaker 1>like I'm too stupid to know what you're doing, really

0:27:29.640 --> 0:27:30.159
<v Speaker 1>bothers me.

0:27:30.880 --> 0:27:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know.

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:37.640
<v Speaker 4>I I don't know what to suggest to the folks

0:27:37.800 --> 0:27:45.439
<v Speaker 4>other than vote, go to school board meetings, talk to

0:27:45.680 --> 0:27:47.840
<v Speaker 4>your kids teachers and tell them.

0:27:49.560 --> 0:27:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Please tell me and I.

0:27:51.520 --> 0:27:54.240
<v Speaker 4>But if their careers are ended, or if they're prosecuted,

0:27:55.560 --> 0:27:59.480
<v Speaker 4>what are they going to do? So now, conservative teachers, moderatesane, Well,

0:27:59.520 --> 0:28:04.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry anybody but insanely neo Marxist teachers is terrified

0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:05.600
<v Speaker 4>by this law, and.

0:28:05.560 --> 0:28:06.520
<v Speaker 2>It's getting no attention.

0:28:06.680 --> 0:28:09.560
<v Speaker 1>We're keeping the government out of the relationship between the

0:28:09.600 --> 0:28:13.359
<v Speaker 1>parent and child. You are a dangerous human being that I.

0:28:13.520 --> 0:28:16.919
<v Speaker 4>Agree to that I would agree one more from California.

0:28:17.640 --> 0:28:20.679
<v Speaker 4>Last March, Hunting Beach, California gave the thumbs up to

0:28:20.720 --> 0:28:22.640
<v Speaker 4>a ballot measure that said you got to show voter

0:28:22.720 --> 0:28:28.359
<v Speaker 4>ID like most American states, and anybody who's a black

0:28:28.400 --> 0:28:31.520
<v Speaker 4>person who you tell, well, you black people, you have

0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:33.960
<v Speaker 4>trouble getting ideas, would say, who the hell are you

0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:35.399
<v Speaker 4>to insult me?

0:28:36.160 --> 0:28:36.880
<v Speaker 2>It's it's again.

0:28:36.920 --> 0:28:39.800
<v Speaker 4>It's a tiny percentage of Americans who believe voter ida

0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:42.840
<v Speaker 4>is somehow racist. But anyway, Huntington Beach said, no, you

0:28:42.840 --> 0:28:46.320
<v Speaker 4>got to show ideas. The state is suing, claiming the

0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:49.520
<v Speaker 4>voter ID requirement is unlawful. They are trying to prosecute

0:28:49.560 --> 0:28:54.120
<v Speaker 4>Huntington Beach. It's unlawful, right, oh my god, to prevent

0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:58.840
<v Speaker 4>anybody in California for asking for it. Illinois criminals, they said,

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:01.280
<v Speaker 4>let's move on to the great state of Illinois where

0:29:01.280 --> 0:29:04.120
<v Speaker 4>I grew up. A part of House Bill forty nine

0:29:04.360 --> 0:29:07.400
<v Speaker 4>forty four oh nine, which Governor J. B. Gender Bending

0:29:07.480 --> 0:29:10.480
<v Speaker 4>Pritzker signed in August, a person convicted of a crime

0:29:10.480 --> 0:29:12.960
<v Speaker 4>who participates in an adult reab program will no longer

0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:15.280
<v Speaker 4>be officially referred to as an offender, but rather as

0:29:15.320 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 4>a justice impacted individual.

0:29:17.680 --> 0:29:18.640
<v Speaker 2>You gotta be kidding.

0:29:19.880 --> 0:29:24.560
<v Speaker 4>The terminology was ridiculed on social media, blasted by Illinois Republicans,

0:29:25.080 --> 0:29:29.160
<v Speaker 4>called a new terminology gift wrapped for Republicans language Orwellian

0:29:29.240 --> 0:29:32.800
<v Speaker 4>and gobbledegook. Noting that justice impacted individuals sounds is more

0:29:32.840 --> 0:29:35.360
<v Speaker 4>like a description of a crime victim than an offender.

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:37.840
<v Speaker 2>No kidding, unbelievable.

0:29:38.080 --> 0:29:42.680
<v Speaker 4>Colorados have the waiting period for life ending drugs to

0:29:42.920 --> 0:29:46.920
<v Speaker 4>commit suicide, completely ignoring and this is typical of progressive policies.

0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:53.160
<v Speaker 4>The experience in Canada, where assisted suicide is exploded now

0:29:53.200 --> 0:29:57.520
<v Speaker 4>includes people who are just depressed or under financial pressure. Anyway,

0:29:57.560 --> 0:29:59.960
<v Speaker 4>they've cut the waiting period from fifteen days to seven.

0:30:00.480 --> 0:30:02.680
<v Speaker 4>Certainly a week is long enough to decide whether you're

0:30:02.680 --> 0:30:06.320
<v Speaker 4>going to end your life or not. Vermont has approved

0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:10.480
<v Speaker 4>injection sites for deadly drugs, ignoring the models of California

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:13.880
<v Speaker 4>and Oregon. If it sounds good, pass it, never mind

0:30:13.920 --> 0:30:18.000
<v Speaker 4>that it's been proved a miserable failure. This is good.

0:30:18.080 --> 0:30:23.160
<v Speaker 4>Oregon has forced home care workers to pay SEIU duties.

0:30:23.360 --> 0:30:28.000
<v Speaker 4>That's the Service Employees' International Union, the super powerful mostly

0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:29.760
<v Speaker 4>West Coast union. I don't know that that's true, but

0:30:29.800 --> 0:30:31.400
<v Speaker 4>they're hugely powerful on the West Coast.

0:30:32.280 --> 0:30:33.840
<v Speaker 2>I could explain why.

0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:37.240
<v Speaker 4>But even though they're not members of the union, they've

0:30:37.520 --> 0:30:39.280
<v Speaker 4>found a way in Oregon to force them to pay

0:30:39.360 --> 0:30:40.080
<v Speaker 4>union dues.

0:30:41.680 --> 0:30:44.000
<v Speaker 2>That one's just silly. Oh, this is my favorite.

0:30:44.000 --> 0:30:48.680
<v Speaker 4>Minnesota Democrats took advantage of holding a rare trifect in

0:30:48.720 --> 0:30:51.520
<v Speaker 4>state government. They had the governor in both houses and

0:30:51.560 --> 0:30:53.840
<v Speaker 4>got busy trying to turn their stateue into a frozen

0:30:53.880 --> 0:30:59.440
<v Speaker 4>progressive parasite. They got busy. They've curbed the consumption of

0:30:59.520 --> 0:31:05.760
<v Speaker 4>nuisance beaver meat. Nuisance beaver's my new band, uh for

0:31:05.920 --> 0:31:07.600
<v Speaker 4>reasons that are not yet clear.

0:31:08.240 --> 0:31:10.640
<v Speaker 2>In the National Review, what is nuisance beaver meat?

0:31:10.840 --> 0:31:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Is the Oh it's okay, the beaver was a nuisance Okay,

0:31:14.320 --> 0:31:15.560
<v Speaker 1>it's not describing the meat.

0:31:15.600 --> 0:31:19.320
<v Speaker 2>It's describing the beaver. Okay, of a nuisance beaver might

0:31:19.360 --> 0:31:21.920
<v Speaker 2>be a more clear way to put that. But I

0:31:21.960 --> 0:31:22.640
<v Speaker 2>love this writing.

0:31:22.720 --> 0:31:26.040
<v Speaker 4>For reasons that are not yet clear, Twin Cities Democrats

0:31:26.040 --> 0:31:28.960
<v Speaker 4>added a provision to state statues barring people who killed

0:31:29.040 --> 0:31:32.720
<v Speaker 4>nuisance beavers on their property from then eating the dead rodents.

0:31:32.880 --> 0:31:37.719
<v Speaker 4>According to a report in the Minnesota Star Tribune, Wow Wow,

0:31:38.160 --> 0:31:41.160
<v Speaker 4>a leader with state's Natural Resource Department department, told the

0:31:41.160 --> 0:31:43.680
<v Speaker 4>paper he had not yet received a solid answer about

0:31:43.720 --> 0:31:47.480
<v Speaker 4>the law's purpose. What are we talking about. We're talking

0:31:47.480 --> 0:31:51.040
<v Speaker 4>about the legalities of eating beaver. That's just ridiculous, said

0:31:51.080 --> 0:31:52.240
<v Speaker 4>a Minnesota Republican.

0:31:53.520 --> 0:31:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Coming up, I have got a great list of the

0:31:56.520 --> 0:32:01.000
<v Speaker 1>classic rock, slash oldies slash throwback acts that are touring

0:32:01.040 --> 0:32:03.680
<v Speaker 1>in twenty five and it is pretty entertaining.

0:32:03.720 --> 0:32:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Stay with us, Armstrong, Hetty. Some more political news.

0:32:13.600 --> 0:32:16.600
<v Speaker 5>Today, Congress convened to certify the results of the presidential

0:32:16.640 --> 0:32:19.680
<v Speaker 5>election and Vice President Harris oversaw the process.

0:32:20.520 --> 0:32:22.920
<v Speaker 2>H Harris is like, and with that, my drive January

0:32:23.040 --> 0:32:23.360
<v Speaker 2>is over.

0:32:25.160 --> 0:32:27.520
<v Speaker 5>Even more upsetting, a confused Biden than walked in and

0:32:27.520 --> 0:32:32.080
<v Speaker 5>sang her Happy Birthday.

0:32:29.160 --> 0:32:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Hey, get him out of here. He's not even humming

0:32:37.440 --> 0:32:40.560
<v Speaker 2>them for like they're mocking the president.

0:32:42.840 --> 0:32:44.880
<v Speaker 1>So for the year twenty twenty five, a whole bunch

0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:49.560
<v Speaker 1>of big musical acts are going to tour from the past,

0:32:50.640 --> 0:32:53.560
<v Speaker 1>and here's a list, thanks to the New York Post.

0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:55.719
<v Speaker 1>Acdc's touring, which I actually would like see. I think

0:32:55.760 --> 0:32:57.200
<v Speaker 1>that'd be pretty cool. I saw a clip of them

0:32:57.240 --> 0:32:57.680
<v Speaker 1>the other day.

0:32:57.800 --> 0:32:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Look pretty good.

0:32:58.400 --> 0:33:00.600
<v Speaker 1>At least what's the guy who where's the school Way outfit?

0:33:00.880 --> 0:33:04.120
<v Speaker 1>He was killing young I don't think I've ever seen

0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:05.800
<v Speaker 1>him do that live, so I wouldn't mind seeing that.

0:33:05.840 --> 0:33:09.040
<v Speaker 1>But Ringo Starr and his all star band whoever that

0:33:09.160 --> 0:33:14.880
<v Speaker 1>is featuring members of Aerosmith, Electric Light Orchestra, Toto, Men

0:33:14.920 --> 0:33:17.840
<v Speaker 1>at Work and more. Yes, it's like the world's greatest

0:33:17.880 --> 0:33:20.840
<v Speaker 1>cover band, but there's a member of the bands they

0:33:20.880 --> 0:33:24.080
<v Speaker 1>cover in his big band. Musically speaking, it's really good.

0:33:24.240 --> 0:33:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I believe it.

0:33:25.240 --> 0:33:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Ringos one hundred and seventy. But this tour Billy Joel,

0:33:29.520 --> 0:33:32.080
<v Speaker 1>which on his own would be fine, featuring Steven Nick's

0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Sting and Rod Stewart, what the hell, it's an odd

0:33:36.080 --> 0:33:41.560
<v Speaker 1>sting odd group. James Taylor, Rod Stewart's One Last Time Tour,

0:33:41.600 --> 0:33:44.000
<v Speaker 1>which is a completely different thing. He's claiming it's his

0:33:44.080 --> 0:33:46.800
<v Speaker 1>last tour. More on that in a second, Heart's Royal

0:33:46.920 --> 0:33:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Flush Tour featuring Squeeze, Cheap Trick and Lucinda Williams. That's

0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:57.400
<v Speaker 1>an odd group of them all. But Elvis Costello, Craft Work.

0:33:58.600 --> 0:34:01.520
<v Speaker 1>The Eagles are still playing its Sphere again. I saw them.

0:34:01.760 --> 0:34:03.239
<v Speaker 1>You heard me talk about that with my son, who

0:34:03.280 --> 0:34:06.280
<v Speaker 1>was freaking awesome. Dead in Company is playing at the Sphere,

0:34:06.320 --> 0:34:08.319
<v Speaker 1>which I'd like to see. Although I paid a ton
