And when we are working 14 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 3: in Charlotte, North Carolina, nothing happened on Good Friday. I 15 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 3: mean everything was everybody was off, everything was closed, everybody 16 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 3: was at church, et cetera. It was a very big deal. 17 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 3: And then of course in California, godless, immoral California, it's 18 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 3: a much. 19 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,839 Speaker 1: Less of a thing. Another day, another day of sodomy. 20 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: Pretty much right. 21 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 3: The public schools are in My son goes to a 22 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 3: Christian private school and they are out today. 23 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: So it just depends on your situation. How y'all do. 24 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: And that's funny. I was just reading. 25 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 3: The morning newsletter I read every day from Mark Haupern, 26 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 3: just kind of a summary of everything that's going on. 27 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 3: He's talking about all the different battles Trump's fighting at 28 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 3: once tarist, I know, taken on the college's you know, 29 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 3: the Justice Department and the gang member or not, and 30 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 3: you know a million different things. 31 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, there at least half a dozen notable court cases 32 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: right for instance. 33 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 3: And Mark Alpern wrote his critics called this one of 34 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 3: the most delusional and evil manifestations of a special, dark 35 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 3: brand of immorality. Donald Trump calls today Friday, so a 36 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 3: pretty good writing special day for. 37 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: You or not towards Friday. Welcome to the show. Indeed, yeah, 38 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 1: it's Friday either way, So that's good. 39 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 3: I grew up in the Midwest and we went to 40 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 3: school on Good Friday. 41 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: But every Friday we had fish for in the lunch. 42 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 3: School lunch never meet even though it wasn't a Catholic school, 43 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 3: just out of respect for any Christianity to meet on Friday, 44 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 3: which is a thing for some. 45 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,119 Speaker 1: Of this sure Catholics in particular, I think. But yeah, 46 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: nice fish sandwhich is a delicious change of pace. What 47 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: kind of fish that was? You know, back in elementary 48 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: school in the seventies, I don't know that fish may 49 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: have been seeing me out an hour I don't know, wow, 50 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: hour ago. I don't know. 51 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 3: I doubt it was cat but you know, you don't know, 52 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 3: it could have been catfish. 53 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, Yeah, but happy Easter weekend to everyone. Yeah, 54 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: and all those things I just mentioned that Trump's dealing with. 55 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, all those are stories with another round of what's 56 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 3: going on, including more reporting on apparently more negotiations with 57 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 3: the United States in Iran as Trump's kind of put 58 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 3: off this attack on Iran, which again would be the 59 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 3: biggest military thing the United States has gotten involved with 60 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 3: since Shock and Awe March two thousand and three. I 61 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 3: don't feel like I don't get the sense that America 62 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 3: is taking it that way or is paying any attention 63 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 3: or anything. 64 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: Right, I think the average citizen is in a tangentially 65 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: similar position to a lot of Democrats right now. They're 66 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: not quite sure what to focus on. There's too many 67 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: things going on at once. Yeah, yeah, how about the 68 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: tariff thing, the economy stuff, the market. You're four to 69 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: oh one k, you know, the various fights over illegal 70 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: immigrants and all. It's just there's so much happening. I 71 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: don't think people have understood the gravity of what's been 72 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: said recently about Iran, just because they've been listening to 73 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: talk about Iran's nuclear program and a deal and a 74 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: possible attack now for a couple of deecas. 75 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 3: So it's going to come as a pretty big surprise 76 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 3: to people if all of a sudden, you know, on 77 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 3: a random Tuesday, the United States is engaging in the 78 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 3: biggest military intervention in a quarter century. 79 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: Right, and then this is kind of cynical, but well, 80 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: who are we dealing with? Me? The Democrats would be 81 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: put in the position of pivoting from defending a wife 82 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: beating gang member illegal immigrant to because they will knee 83 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: jerk oppose what has been done, they will be put 84 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: in the position of backing the Republican guard in the Mullahs. Yeah. 85 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 3: And of course, as we talked with with Mike Lyons 86 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 3: a week ago today, anytime you the history is full 87 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 3: of military plans for short wars and easy victories that 88 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 3: did not turn out that way. 89 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it is, it is so common. 90 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 3: It's the rule as opposed to the exception of that's 91 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 3: the way it turns out. 92 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,799 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that is clearly true. And our last couple 93 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: of foreign adventures proved it beyond anybody's capacity to doubt that. 94 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: I would think Iraq and Afghanistan, both of which were 95 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: very successful in their way, but then metastasized obviously. So anyway, 96 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: that's going to come one of these days. Yeah, groovy, 97 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: super It's been kind of dull here too. Four. Oh, 98 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: getting back to the topic of Good Friday. Maybe we'll 99 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: dip into this a little later. I almost didn't read 100 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: Peggy Noonan's piece in the Wall Street Journal today. She 101 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: generally publishes on Fridays, and it's often about politics and 102 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: culture and that sort of thing, and today was about 103 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: Good Friday and the scripture and stuff, and I thought, 104 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, you know, I'm getting ready to do 105 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: our show. It's not like we do a theological show. 106 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: But it was all about how, both in Christianity and 107 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: Judaism in particular, the concept that it's not too late 108 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: to become a better person is really important. Specifically, the 109 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: fellow who is known in some circles as the good 110 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: thief who was being tortured to death on the cross 111 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: next to Jesus. One of the thieves was contemptuous and 112 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: mocked Jesus, and the other said, hey, shut up, this 113 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: man's being condemned for no good reason. We've got we're 114 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: deserving what's coming, And he asked Jesus to look out 115 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: for his soul in the last moments of his life. 116 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: And Peggy, as always, was very eloquent writing on that theme. 117 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 3: That's a good one. I'll absolutely read that today. I'll 118 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 3: be looking for that sort of stuff today, as opposed 119 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 3: to in the daily this and that of news stories 120 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 3: at bigger picture about you know, one's life or perhaps 121 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 3: after life. I went back to is Trump Hitler Mine 122 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 3: might be soon, as I feel like my illness has 123 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 3: taken a step toward the worse. 124 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: I'm working from home today. 125 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 3: I often quote the statistic that ninety percent of people 126 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 3: would prefer to die at home rather than a hospitle 127 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 3: The reality is the opposite, ninety percent of people died 128 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 3: at a hospital rather than home. 129 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: But I'm pretty sure zero percent of people want to 130 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: die at a radio station. So I decided to work 131 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: from home today. That's a good point. That's an excellent point. Yes, yes, 132 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: you know that first statistic in all seriousness. You know, 133 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: there are so many things I want to make like 134 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: my jihad, my cause, because they're absolutely worthy of someone 135 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: importing their life into it. Although I'm reminded how many 136 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: times you've pointed out that people go crazy over these 137 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: stupid issues. They're like, this is the hill you're gonna 138 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: this is your cause, this is how you're spending your 139 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: time and money. None leap to mind immediately. But the 140 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: death penalty I always use as an example. 141 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, of all things, there's lots of 142 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 3: important things about there to try to help downtrodden people. 143 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: This one criminal illegal aliens in Chicago, Brandon Johnson, that 144 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: jackass communists anyway, But yeah, the fact that everybody wants 145 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: to die at home, surrounded by the family, that's the 146 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: way it's always worked to human history. There's really no 147 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: downside to it. I've seen it happen, and it's practically 148 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: impossible to get going because once the medical establishment has you, 149 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,239 Speaker 1: they want to keep you. That's just that's a civil 150 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: rights violation. It's more it's a violation of human dignity. Anyway. 151 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 3: I think we're going to make a cultural shift on 152 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 3: that at some points. As I've quoted my doctor saying 153 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 3: a couple of visits ago, where he said, sometimes I 154 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 3: wonder what we're doing here in terms of trying to 155 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 3: keep people alive a little longer. 156 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: And I think we're going. 157 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 3: To make a cultural shift on that, because you know, 158 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 3: many of us have probably lived through this with somebody 159 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 3: older or spouse or whatever. 160 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: But you do, you get into that system and it's 161 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: all part of it. 162 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 3: I wonder if it started when we stopped saying they 163 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 3: died of old age and started giving the specific thing 164 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 3: that killed them at that moment. 165 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: What an interesting point. 166 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, you died from THEA died from an infectioner, they 167 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 3: died from you know, whatever it was. Because it makes 168 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 3: it seem like if you'd just stopped that one thing 169 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 3: from happening, then they would be fine. 170 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: You know, they'd have been good for another two years 171 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: of a square dancing in a water polo. 172 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 3: But no, we got to get back to saying they 173 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 3: died of old age. I think that'd be good for 174 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 3: all of us. Yeah, natural causes, whatever.

Both options are a fraction of the 197 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 4: cost of a dozen eggs. 198 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 3: I think to dye potatoes because we can't afford eggs 199 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 3: is the reason our grandparents left the old country. 200 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: You don't even do if you can't buy eggs. Here's 201 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 1: the suggestions. 202 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 3: A good suggestion, just tell your kids you hid the 203 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 3: eggs really really well this year. 204 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: Man, oh man? How many how many people does that 205 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: apply to? 206 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 3: I mean, I've I've been humming food for potatoes, I've 207 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 3: been pretty damn broke before. But how many people really 208 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 3: really if you were going to die eggs normally, you 209 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 3: can't this year because of the extra two and a 210 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 3: half dollars. Yeah, you're gonna change your family tradition. I 211 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 3: just find that doesn't apply to that many people. But 212 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 3: the news I've seen so many news. 213 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: Stories about this six dollars, and as you point out, 214 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: it's just an additional few bucks. Yeah, that's that's so funny, 215 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: is that it's a beautiful example of how a narrative 216 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: gets going in the media. Right, eggs are expensive, and 217 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: then they find any way they can to perpetuate the narrative, 218 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: even if it's just ridiculous. 219 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 3: Right, with completely serious tones of looking for egg shaped 220 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 3: potatoes in your pantry, but with this perfectly straight face, 221 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 3: completely unaware of the ridiculousness of the words coming out 222 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 3: of their mouths. 223 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: It's wow, humans are strange. I know the news industry 224 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: is strange. 225 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 3: So we got a Katie's headlines, we got we got 226 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 3: all kinds of good stuff, more clips of the week, 227 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 3: clips of the week.

Yeah. Interesting. 239 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: Uh so again, we have clips of the week coming 240 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: up in mailbag and all sorts of good stuff. But 241 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: first let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead 242 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: story with Katie Green. 243 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 5: Katie alrighty, starting with the Associated Press.

No doubt, 246 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: are people as into this story as the media thing 247 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: seems to think. So it's the lead story every media source. 248 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: I've had people bring it up in real life, okay, 249 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: which is a good sign. It's not like it comes 250 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: up a lot. But this is a three judge panel 251 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: of Appeals Court judges ruling unanimously. So this one is 252 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: not some Obama pointed geek often some hinterland. 253 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 5: From ABC, Trump says US and China are discussing a 254 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 5: tariff deal. 255 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no. 256 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 3: Uh, I hate to use the left stalking points, but 257 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 3: there's no evidence they're actually talking. Trump could just be 258 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 3: making that up, but he says they're in talks about 259 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 3: a deal that will wind this down. 260 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: Now, there are many levels by which different leaders can connect. 261 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: I wonder from. 262 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 5: USA today, US will abandon Ukraine in peace push if 263 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 5: no progress within a. 264 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: Matter of days, says Marco Rubio. Wow, but then what yeah? 265 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: Then what? Yeah? They are definitely making noises toward Putin 266 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: to say it's time to get down with this or 267 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: things are gonna change materially, but it's not clear. 268 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 3: Trump said it various times when he was running that 269 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 3: you know, if Putin didn't go along. 270 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: We would arm Ukraine to the teeth. Trump says a 271 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: lot of stuff. But they're also talking about that big 272 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: giant economic deal between the US and Ukraine. Again, it'll 273 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: be interesting to watch. 274 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 5: From the New York Post, US Space Force publishes quote 275 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 5: space Warfighting Blueprint for future of warfare beyond Earth. 276 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 3: Wow, I'd like to read that that is gonna be. 277 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 3: That is gonna be the next battleground. 278 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: We all watch drones and space.

Tomorrow being the two hundred 505 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: and fiftieth anniversary of his famous ride. We'll talk more 506 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: about that next hour, but a couple of quotes. Number one, 507 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: there's a time for casting silver and a time for 508 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: casting cannon, said Revere. He was a renowned silver smith. 509 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 1: One is reminded of the the verses from which book 510 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 1: of the Bible? Is it? The Bible? About the Bible? 511 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: For everything, there is a season. Oh time first, right, 512 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: thank you, let's see. And then this quote I like 513 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 1: this in the fall of seventeen seventy four, In winter 514 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,479 Speaker 1: of seventeen seventy five, I was one of upwards of thirty, 515 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 1: chiefly mechanics, who formed ourselves into a committee for the 516 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: purpose of watching the movements of British soldiers and gaining 517 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: every intelligence of the movements of the Tories. Speaking of 518 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: normal people doing heroic and very brave things, what they're 519 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: caught doing that? Yeah, exactly, Mailbag. According to the discussion 520 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 1: next hour, drop his note anytime, Mailbag at Armstrong and 521 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 1: Giddy dot com. Let's see, we've been discussing quite a 522 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: bit how to reform universities. Well, Kevin actually sets this 523 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: up really well, Jensen. I know exactly how to reign 524 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: in universities without giving excess power to the next administration. 525 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: It's easy. No more elections. How can AOC run for 526 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: president when Baron is on his abnormally tall throne already 527 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: not possible. There you go. I've called for monarchy. Oh, 528 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: he signs off monarchy. Now, I've called for monarchy for 529 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: a long time. Ironic. Given my admiration Paul Revere and 530 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: Baron Trump, it's not gonna be the old man. It's 531 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: gonna be Baron. He's like the wiser, gentler, more benevolent Trump, right, 532 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: and very large. I don't even like entertaining this sort 533 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: of thing as a joke. Okay, moving along. He is 534 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: abnormally large, though, making him an excellent king in my opinion. Yeah. 535 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: Uh so yesterday, for reasons that really don't bear repeating, 536 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: we spent a fair amount of time talking about the 537 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: concept of being a human footstool, all right, which has 538 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: been It's happened a couple of times in the history, 539 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: including the British schoolboys in the mid twentieth century. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 540 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: with a crazy wife of the headmaster made them perform 541 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:51,959 Speaker 1: as human footstools in a humiliating you know, the exploitation. Yeah. Anyway, Sean, 542 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: who's been the really strong email wise lately. Uh and 543 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: probably worth setting up that I've leave that the time 544 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: of the humans is coming to an end and we 545 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: will become a planet of the beavers. So Shawn writes, 546 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: after twenty years of service, Joe, one of the last humans, 547 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: came to realize that when the beaver king demanded he 548 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: get down and form a footstool for him, what he 549 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: was really saying was I love you. And after all 550 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: these long years in the beavers world, Joe realized that 551 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: he too loved the beaver king, whose web defeat had 552 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: sat so long above upon his bowed back. That's some 553 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: I'm sorry I slaughtered the sentence there, Sean, that's some 554 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: really good post apocalyptic Orwellian beaver King. That's like the 555 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: last page of nineteen eighty four. I don't know if 556 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: he did that on purpose. 557 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 3: But right, we spent a abnormal amount of time on human footstools. 558 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: On yesterday's episode. If you want to check the podcasts, 559 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: was that the one more thing podcast throughout the show? 560 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: On demand? Yeah? Okay? Oddly enough. Barry from Thailand with 561 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: an interesting question. He says, hey fellows and happy ty 562 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: New Year from the Land of Smiles. Listening to yesterday's show. 563 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: Regarding Muskin as many children, I was wondering why he 564 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: thought he might produce superior children other than the occasional athlete. 565 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: Has any genius ever sired children who made a contribution 566 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: that came even close to matching the parent? I can't 567 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: think of any. There aren't a lot. 568 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 3: I mean, there's a few examples out there, the Adams family. 569 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 3: There for several generations John Adams, John Quincy and. 570 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 2: Martitia Tuesday, John Adams, John Quincy and then Henry Adams 571 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 2: three just absolutely ridiculous, brilliant generations in a row. 572 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,719 Speaker 1: But it doesn't happen very often. I really don't know. 573 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: From Henry Adams other than hearing about him occasionally from 574 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: you read the Education of Henry Adams. Oh my god, okay, 575 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 1: all right, must have gone well if he was a 576 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: genius his education. So let's see Catherine and beautiful Torrance, 577 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: California rights on the topic of Marxism in colleges. Propaganda 578 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: starts so much earlier in high school. This is absolutely true, 579 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: and we knew this, but it's worth for a generation, 580 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: our kids have been taught that America and Western civilization 581 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: is evil communist. Howard Zinn's book is a standard textbook 582 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: across the nation for a generation. University professors were brought 583 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: up on this marxis kool aid and are sharing it 584 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: with their students. 585 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 3: You know what I because I came across this yesterday 586 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 3: on some podcasts as listening to the smugness of the 587 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 3: self hating people, the whole we're bad and we shouldn't 588 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 3: exist and where the world? 589 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: Wait? What what is that? Weird? Why are you so 590 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: smug about this? 591 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 3: This is your society and you wanted to go away 592 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 3: and be. 593 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,719 Speaker 1: Replaced by China running the world or Plutin. I mean, 594 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: you nut jobs. It's it's an almost adolescent pretension that 595 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: makes me insane. Look how enlightened and honorable I am. 596 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: I'm self hating. It might be the. 597 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 3: Worst human tendency because so many of your bomber's terrorist 598 00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 3: types on Osama Bin Laden or whoever, the hell lot 599 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 3: of your Columbia kids, they're all rich, privileged people. I mean, 600 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 3: their lives are better than practically everybody else, and they're 601 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 3: going with the whole life sucks, the world sucks. 602 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: So I'm going to do this destructive thing. What the hell? Yeah? Yeah, 603 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: and then Catherine points out quite aptly, freedom of speech 604 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: extends to those who choose to attend lectures or events 605 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: where the topic differs from the Marxist views of the 606 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: faculty or student body. Shouting down or blocking entry to 607 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: conservative speakers abridges the right of attendees to hear their presentations, 608 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 1: arrest protesters for First Amendment violations, invoking enforce all laws 609 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: now in the books that guarantee academic freedom. Uh yeah, 610 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: I agree completely. The Heckler's veto is evil and I 611 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: stand against it. Let's see that one's a little long ISHU. 612 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: Let's see Drew the Millennial says, I got into a 613 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: little discussion with Timmy Sandefer about this Yeah, we talk. 614 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: I'm hella cool, Timmy Sandafer. I never call them that. 615 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: I am fully in supportive due process for every US 616 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: citizen and every person with a legal right to be here. However, 617 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: according to the Agency in charge of Border Security, thirteen 618 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: million people a crossed our southern border illegally in the 619 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: last four years. How charitable is the American taxpayer expected 620 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: to be to these people? If someone's suspective of crossing 621 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,399 Speaker 1: illegally cannot prove citizenship or any legal right to be here, 622 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: why should the American taxpayer be burdened with housing, clothing, 623 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: medicating them, etc. Until a due process hearing that forty 624 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: percent of them don't show up for anyway, there has 625 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 1: to be some compromise here, because that seems completely unrealistic. 626 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: I don't owe full American rights and accommodations to anyone 627 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 1: on Earth just because they managed to sneak over a border. Thoughts. 628 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: Tim would be my political surrogate for most situations, but 629 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: he is uncompromising here, and I just don't think that's realistic. Yeah, 630 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: I followed their back and forth on Twitter. Is pretty interesting. Yeah, 631 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: I tell you what. I absolutely am glad that Tim 632 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: and people like tim are fighting hard on the side 633 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:54,359 Speaker 1: of don't give away due process in whatever aspect of 634 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: life you're talking about. Don't give that away too cavalierly. 635 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,879 Speaker 1: We need somebody pulling on that end of the rope. 636 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: I happen to think there are probably ways to move 637 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: it a little bit without giving away our rights. But 638 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: worthy discussion. 639 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah, I have more of that, but maybe 640 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 3: at a different time. 641 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: We have a lot to get to today. I can't 642 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: wait to hear your blast about common core. 643 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 3: Math because it's been a pain in my. 644 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: Ass for my entire kids schooling, and you speak for 645 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 1: many parents. Yeah, right along, folks, that's the takeaway. Oh cool. 646 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: If you missed a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty.
