WEBVTT - Bonds & Handwriting 0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:06.360 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:07.840 Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:11.879 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, I'm strong and Jettie and 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:18.319 he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:26.759 Another Narco boat going up in flames, this time at 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:29.880 the hands of the Coastguard south of the Galapagos Islands 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:32.640 in the Pacific, the Coast Guard posting on x saying 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:36.000 over the weekend, as part of Operation Pacific Viper, the 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:39.920 Coastguard cutter Stone conducted three interredictions in a single night, 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:43.839 seizing nearly thirteen thousand pounds of cocaine and apprehending seven 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:47.240 suspected drug smugglers. And while this operation was more of 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.440 a law enforcement interdiction rather than a shoot to kill 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.640 military strike like we recently saw over a week ago 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.560 with that Venezuela and Narco boat, all of this is 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.680 part of the Trump administration's crackdown on cartels. 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.680 I don't know what I think about this, as watching 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:07.640 Ryan Paul on some cable show yesterday argue, even if 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.520 they were drug runners, they could have been running drugs 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:11.440 to somewhere else. 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.440 We're not the only country that likes drugs. 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.319 There's lots of places that like drugs and are we 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.800 just going to kill all drug dealers anywhere in the. 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.640 World that are setting drugs anywhere? I mean, how do 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:22.720 we figure this out? 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:25.960 Yeah, I don't think it's nearly as simple as a 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.640 lot of people are portraying it, partly because it's kind 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:32.679 of fun and directionally, everybody wants a tougher border and 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:34.760 standing up to the cartels because they're monstrous. 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.600 I'm not worried about it, and make that clear. 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.479 Yeah, but you know, somebody also pointed out that these 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:43.479 guys in the boats are either like the lowest level 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.960 guys or fishermen who are just trying to earn a 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.400 little extra money by taking a bail from here to there. 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:54.000 They don't ask any questions that sort of thing. There 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.400 are arguments counter that too. You know, they're selling death, 0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:02.600 they're transporting death, and their criminal enterprises organized criminal enterprises, 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.280 but stuff and people without trial ought to be looked 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.520 at carefully. You don't really want your government to have 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:10.600 the right to do that because it tends to get 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:11.079 out of hand. 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.960 So one of the biggest topics in America yesterday, and 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.239 we talked about it a lot, was the so called 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.960 National report Card on our schools that came out that 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.200 showed once again they are headed in the wrong direction, 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:29.000 as they have been for three decades at least. The 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:33.760 coverage of it was exactly what I expected. Unfortunately, it 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:37.400 was blamed on COVID and then they would mention this 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.480 at a time that the Trump administration has fired half 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:44.040 of the people in the Department of Education. Neither of 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.880 those things really relevant, as the numbers have been going down, 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.760 as I pointed out, for decades. And you know, COVID 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.160 didn't help, but it's not the cause by any means whatsoever. 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.520 Well, and the idea that your child learns to read 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:03.040 and write because of the federal Department of Education is hilarious, right, 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:04.360 I mean that's a canard? 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:08.440 Is they say it's a falsehood? Please? Well, in these. 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:12.480 Minor and overblown duties and just tracking test scores and 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.160 forcing schools to adopt progressive policies for the last several years. 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:20.920 This data was from before those firings happened anyway, But 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:22.760 I guess the idea from the media is now, we're 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:24.600 going to try to fix this with half of the 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:25.520 Department of Education. 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.079 What makes what is it that leads you to. 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:32.240 Believe that more government, more at the federal level, is 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:33.600 what would fix this anyway? 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:34.840 And where where's that come from? 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:36.400 Oh and then I wanted to throw in, as I 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:42.160 mentioned last hour, an eighth grader I know, talking about 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.720 being in science class yesterday with kids looking at their phones. 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:47.680 That didn't get discussed yesterday. 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:51.360 How prevalent is that around the country, kids having phone 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:52.960 in the phones in the classroom. 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:54.200 That's insane to me. 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:58.800 I can't believe that lasts five minutes, yes, let alone 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.880 school by school, the whole classroom people are just sitting 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.160 there looking their phones. I was told that a couple 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.440 of girls sitting there with earbuds in watching videos on 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:10.240 their phone. 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:15.000 Of course you're not learning, Oh my god. Yeah. 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.080 I think it's a majority of states now have banned 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:21.960 smartphones in classrooms. But whether it's enforced or not is 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.039 you know, varies. I'd imagine state by state, and even 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:29.440 district by district. Certainly Blue County to Red County, there's 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.719 probably a difference. We got this email from a twenty 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:37.680 year school marm. As she describes herself, I'm a twenty 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.480 year veteran teacher, having taught almost every grade K through eight. 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:42.720 I've spent the last seven or so years in kindergarten, 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.080 and I agree with all of your takes on public 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.400 schools and why we are failing. I believe very strongly 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.400 the teachers' unions and the inability to retain students are 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.320 our main obstacles to real and affected positive change. Some 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:58.160 other food for thought, What was the purpose happening to 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.040 number retain meaning whole back flunk? 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.919 We think we used to call it flunk you flunked 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.560 second grade now, and then they called it held back. 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.960 Now I noticed they call it retain. Yeah, you're not 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.240 allowed to retain people. Why you can't read or do 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.960 math at the grade level you're in right now? Why 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:17.360 would I move you on to the next. 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:22.480 Grade, says the administrator, because that's easier for me. It'd 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.400 be super hard to justify to the parents and tutor 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.080 this kid and get them caught up to speed. 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:29.360 It's super easy to pass them on. 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.120 Part of that, there's a number of reasons. Part of 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.600 it is the whole self esteem movement. It would hurt 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.000 the kid's self esteem. Well, you're not going to help 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.040 their self esteem by sending them out in the world 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.039 where they can't read or do math. And they can't 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.280 work a job. That's pretty hard on your self esteem too. 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:43.640 Yeah. 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:48.640 So anyway, some intriguing questions from the veteran teacher. What 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:50.920 was the per capita number of books per child or 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.719 books per household twenty years ago? How about the minutes 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:57.400 per day that children interact with crayons, scissors, plato before 0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.960 the age of five twenty years ago is compared to now? 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.120 Now we have kindergarteners arriving to school where we are 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.720 now expected to send them to first grade as readers 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.640 who cannot identify, much less write their name, nor do 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.640 they know how to use crayons, and they've spent the 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.039 first five years coloring with fingertips on screens. I could 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:19.039 go on, and it's worth pointing out here is that 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.080 And a person could certainly say, well, this is the 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:21.680 computer age. 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.760 They don't need crowns or you know whatever. 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:31.440 But I unfortunately, as study after study has shown, handwriting 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:38.640 is an incredible stimulator of your brain, connecting the mechanical. 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.120 With the cerebral. 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:45.279 We're talking about your brain, and there's practically no substitute 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.880 for it for developing your brain. 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.440 But I'm that's true, But is it? 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.400 It's not the same though, when you're coloring in with 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.720 your finger on a tablet, because I've done that with 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.680 my kids when they would do that, it's very similar, 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.480 I don't know. Or writing your fund writing with your 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.440 finger instead of holding a pen. I don't know why 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:05.400 that would be much different. 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.440 I am absolutely deeply in agreement with the need for 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:12.239 a complete overhaul the way public schools operate government schools, 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:14.720 but we have to talk about the ways that families 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.280 are or not setting their children and teachers up for 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.840 success with what they are doing with their children before 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.680 they reach the school doors. Thanks for beating the drums 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:27.800 for sanity, Kta Kacas, keep talking about our crazy ass schools. 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:29.760 It's a twenty year school, marm. 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.000 I will tell you this and this, this is a 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.960 statement that any sane, decent. 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:40.520 Person must agree with. That's a good setup. And I 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:43.320 will take all commers who deny that. 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.960 We need to approach the failings of our government schools 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:51.559 and the failings more generally of our kids to learn 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:58.280 and achieve with completely open eyes and honesty. And there 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:02.120 can be no sacred cow. I was spared if they 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.800 shouldn't be spared. Teachers' unions, we hammer them all the time. No, 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.040 you do not get to hide behind your rhetoric anymore. 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.720 There can't be any fear of quote unquote blaming the victims. 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.920 There can't be any fear of coming off as racist 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.080 or what have you. When you and your progressive policies 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.000 do them little black kids and brown kids or whatever 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:25.440 to low achievement and failure. That's not being nice to them. 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.080 That's the worst thing you could do to them. It's 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:32.800 got to be dealt with honestly and bluntly, and don't 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:34.439 have a lot of hope that that's going to happen. 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:36.360 And as we point it out yesterday, and I was 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:40.200 going to try to dredge up this article again by 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:44.840 the absolutely brilliant Harvard economists whose name is flitted out 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:46.079 of my head because I'm old. 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:49.040 They figured out how. 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.480 To turn around schools, and they did it successfully in Houston, 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.560 poor schools with poor kids. It's known what to do, 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:01.400 but the educational industrial complex has no interest in that. 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:05.280 Schools don't exist to teach your childs anymore, your children anymore. 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:13.240 They exist as a jobs program and a political patronage Program's. 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.680 Me, they're still doing the test scores up on CBS. 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:15.680 I'm happy to see because that should be a topic 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:21.160 and it has gone down ten points. I forget if 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:22.720 it was reading or math, which one it was, but 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.160 one of them has gone down ten points in the 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.040 thirty years they've been tracking it for seniors. That's an 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.800 amazing drop given how much more money we spend per 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:36.200 pupil on schools across the country. More money, less results. 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:40.079 But one of my blind spots would be, you know, 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:46.120 I only know my own socioeconomic experience. I don't know 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:50.040 what it's like for most of the country, or you know, 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:53.199 the bottom third or whatever of schools. Because that person 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:56.800 that just wrote about kids showing up to kindergarten without 0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:01.760 any of the skills that can gardners used to have. God, 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.000 where I live, the kids show up, they've already know 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.800 how to play the cello and speak an of their language, 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.480 and they've been to Europe and all these different things. 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:11.560 But what I've always. 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:15.160 Wondered is it seems like the like kindergarten, first grade 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.080 is so much more advanced than it was when I 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:18.679 was a kid. 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.000 Where does the drop off occur. 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.720 From your doing like math that we used to do 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.800 in seventh grade in first grade but then somewhere in 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.480 between it like falls off a cliff. 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:31.640 That's what I don't. 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.520 Yeah, yeah it is. It is odd and varies a lot. 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.240 Place to place a quick word from our friends and sponsors. 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:40.560 At Prize Picks, the football is revved up. 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:41.920 It is fun. It is great. 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.920 There's some great games this weekend, and it's fun to 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.600 spice it up with a little Prize Picks action. All 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.120 you have to do is pick a couple of players, 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.560 at least a couple of players, and say whether you 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:53.720 think they'll do more or less than the stat projection. 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:58.160 And they have these max discount squares at Prize Picks, 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:02.000 Like if Travis Kelsey gets one receiving yard and you 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:06.439 picked the more than zero point five receiving yards, you're 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:07.679 a winner on Travis Kelce. 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.360 How about if he runs into the second best player 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.640 on the team and knocks him out for the entire season? 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.439 Is that?

It is a couldn't hardly 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:10.840 be a bigger deal. Like I said, as usual, finger 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:12.200 pointing goes in the wrong direction. 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:17.839 Yeah, the dominant media, legacy media. 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:22.600 Excuse me, We'll all be saying, therefore, we need more money, right. 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:23.120 And then what. 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:26.960 We've been throwing more money at it, and it's been 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.600 going in the wrong direction. You'd think for for decades, 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.200 you'd think that'd be enough to say, Okay, we gotta 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:32.960 try something different. 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:37.160 Yeah, yeah, yeah, you'd think, but. 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:42.200 Spanish progressivism has is their scam is easier to sell 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:42.800 than the truth. 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.640 But you said blue states, Red states with like phones 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:47.199 in the classroom. I don't know. Is that the way 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.640 it would break down? What's the Blue state argument for 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.040 phones in a classroom. 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:55.400 I've heard various arguments about. 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.000 You know, the progressive parents who tend to vote in 0:12:58.000 --> 0:12:59.760 blue states say I need to be able to get 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:03.040 together with my to connect with my kids, they've got 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.400 to have their phone. And I would I would be 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:10.559 willing to bet a substantial sum of money that helicopter parenting, 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:16.600 snowplow parenting is more prevalent in progressive families than in 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:17.720 conservative families. 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.640 Do you know anything have any experience with in this 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.120 new school year, kids with phones in the classroom? Do 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:28.280 you know anything about that? If you do text line FOURFTC. 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:36.000 Do you gotta see this? 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:40.000 The woman from the viral Coldplay kiss cam moment has filed. 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:41.040 For divorce from her husband. 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:45.119 That's the first time someone listened their reason. 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:48.440 For divorce as jumbo trump. The woman now. 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.240 Wants to get away from the spotlight, so she's going 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:56.479 to spend a few weeks with her sister in Philadelphia. 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.319 I uh, I don't want to take a joke serious 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.080 and get off on this, but I wish we would 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.400 change the way we talk about that in America, to 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:11.000 filed for divorce from their family as opposed to filed 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.760 from divorce from their husband or their wife. Because that's 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.960 what you're doing. I don't give a crap about the 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.200 dad or the mom. They'll get over it. The kids 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:24.600 though huge deal, never gets mentioned. It's an afterthought, and 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:31.240 I think it's horrible, but that's my gio. Filed for 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:35.960 divorce from her family, decided to leave, left her husband, 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:40.200 left her family, left her left his wife, no left 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.760 his family. I think would make more sense and be 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:47.680 more accurate. Mike Tyson says he was using fentanyl back 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:49.720 in the day, long before anybody even knew what it was. 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.440 Wow, he had he had. 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.920 Come across it somehow and somebody explained to him how 0:14:55.960 --> 0:15:01.960 it was like, it's something like fire hundred times more 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:05.320 effective than morphine in terms of a pain killer. I've 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.560 had morphine a couple of times in my life when 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.920 I had my gullbladder out and then something around my cancer. 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:11.080 It's pretty effective. 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.000 I went from being in the worst pain in my 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.280 life to zero pain, like immediately what. 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:16.560 They put me on? The morphine? 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:20.120 Yeah amazing, And fentanyl's way, way, way, way more powerful 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.280 than that. But Tyson was taking it for his feet, 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.800 I guess, back in the day, and he's now happy 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:28.000 that he did not become more addicted. 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:31.000 Or die for it. Yeah yeah, wow. 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.720 He's a sixty year old man in the pot business 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.720 now mostly how he makes his money. And he's going 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:42.480 to fight Floyd Mayweather, some consider the greatest fighter of 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:44.400 all time. He's the most boring fighter of all time. 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.200 But anyway, Tyson's gonna fight him next year. 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:51.960 I guess so may Mayweather, who fought the crippled Filipino 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.960 man back in the day, Yes, one of the worst 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.080 pay per view events in the history of pay per view. 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:02.680 He also fought who's the lunatic Irishman? Conor McGregor. Conor McGregor, 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:04.240 I paid for that one. I think I paid like 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:08.960 one hundred bucks for that one. Uf Oof was right, 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:09.680 what are you gonna do? 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.400 I know a couple of surgeons who are just astounded 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:15.400 that fentanyl is a street drug now oh really just 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:20.000 oh yeah, yeah, It's just it's the idea that you're 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.520 buying it from some dude on the street and you're 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.240 trusting them to get the dosage right. It is just well, 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.560 it's it's so stupid. It could kill hundreds of thousands 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:31.000 of people. Whoops, I know nothing about this. 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:34.120 How many people are knowingly buying fentanyl as opposed to 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.760 it's in drugs to make them more addictive? 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:37.080 Do you know? 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:41.240 No idea? Is it mostly the first or you don't know? 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.880 I don't know either. No, I honestly don't know. 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:47.920 I know there the truly insidious part is the second, 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.760 where it's used to beef up how high it gets 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:52.400 you and cut the cost and the rest of it. 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:57.640 But unfortunately people die a lot from it with no idea. 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.880 That they're going to ingest fentanyl and whatever form. 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.360 Yeah, Tyson said he was on it, uh for a 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:05.119 little while for his toe, mostly his tow wort, and 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:08.120 then when he stopped it, he was full on throwing 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.840 up and shakes and everything like that, and he's like, whoa, 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:15.439 what the heck? So it's crazy addictive, like really really 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.000 like almost immediately. 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:23.640 I was neglecting my pigeons. It was terrible. My tigers 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:27.679 was looking at me with disrespect. That's a good Mike, Tyson. 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:30.240 That's very good. Is it a mocking a lisp? Here 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.160 or here he bunch me right in the face. Oh, 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:33.240 that's just what he talks like. 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:35.640 That is what he sounds like. It's not mocking a list, 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:38.560 it's doing an impersonation. So give you an idea. 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:40.320 Of what it would sound like if Mike Tyson said that, 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.879 that's what it was. Indeed, he's gone soft thitter the mind. 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:49.200 Exactly, Michael, Exactly, Jack, you need a tough enoughses. 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:52.720 So one of the hottest stories in America is how 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:56.000 are all these lunatics who have committed so many crimes 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:59.480 out on the street to commit even worse crimes. We're 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.400 gonna talk one of the nation's leading experts on knowing 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:04.320 all about that coming up next. 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.480 And we got to change the way we do things 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:08.200 in this country. 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:11.840 What should you know about cash free bail that whole system. 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:12.879 Does it work? 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:15.960 No? And we'll talk about. 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:18.879 Why Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.440 President Trump says this murder was a result of state 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:24.840 democratic policies. 0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:28.000 We saw are the results of these policies when. 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.680 A twenty three year old woman who came here from 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:35.560 Ukraine met her bloody and on a public train. 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:39.359 Yeah, Well, one of the policies we're talking about is 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:42.560 people not having to put up bail and getting to 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:46.480 head out onto the street and recommit crimes, which is 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:47.879 obviously horrifying. 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:52.719 Yeah, the idea of cash free bail, which ends up 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:56.240 being catch and release, is very popular and lefty circles. 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.440 But what's the reality of it to discuss that in 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:03.160 some of these crimes that have happened recently. We're glad 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.480 to welcome longtime friend of the Armstrong in Getty Show 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:08.160 Topo Padilla, who's not only been a licensed baal agent 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:10.960 for forty two years, but just finished up his term 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.840 as president of the Golden State Bail Bonds Association California 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:18.639 and also the president of the Professional Bail Agents of 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:22.119 the United States, representing agents across the country. Topo, how 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:22.720 are you welcome? 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:25.280 Good's creagi be on here with you, guys. 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:29.280 Hey, twenty seconds is probably enough for thirty seconds. Why 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:33.000 does bail exist? What is it and why is it important? 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:38.119 Bill has really one sole purpose up for most is 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:39.200 not as accountability. 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:40.840 Accountability that people go to. 0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:43.159 Court and if a law enforcement officer arrest them and 0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:45.720 they're charged with the crime, that they go to court 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.919 If they don't, it is our job to go return 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:51.560 them to court at no cost to the taxpayers. 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:57.359 And the experience is over many many years of doing 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:01.680 this is people are much more a likely to show 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:06.240 up for their court date and less likely to reoffend 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:08.440 while they're out there if there is money up because 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:09.600 of like family pressure. 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:13.760 Yes, it is accountability built by a bond. You know, 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:15.879 I don't want to use the word bail, bond and bond, 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:18.439 but we build bonds with the person that's in jail 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:20.760 and the people that are bailing them out, whether it's 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:24.200 family or friends that bail them out, and that bond 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:27.840 does in fact, and it's been shown Jeff reisig Da 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:31.200 of Yellow County Data study, and it showed that recidivism 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.760 happens when you have no skin in the game. And 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:35.920 what we do is we build that bond with our 0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:38.359 clients to make sure that they go to court and 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:42.280 change their lives. That's it. You know, I don't throwing 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:45.320 people in jail, Okay, that's fine and dandy. Change their 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:47.439 lives and if you're held accountable, as we know as 0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:50.880
