Speaker 1: When you're ready to ride Metro, we want you to
Speaker 1: know we're ready for you. Here are just a few
Speaker 1: of the people at Metro to tell you how we're
Speaker 1: doing our part to keep riders safe. Were cleaning like
Speaker 1: novel before Great you're found hands out of suns of
Speaker 1: station Metro, no mask, no Metro need one. We have
Speaker 1: a few extras at Metro. We're doing our part to
Speaker 1: keep the DC area moving. Find out more at well
Speaker 1: mata dot com slash doing our part. Born the Motor Company,
Speaker 1: not the Harrison is planning to unveil a new Bronco
Speaker 1: on July nine, which is exciting but also surprising because
Speaker 1: July nine, half the used to be O J's birthday
Speaker 1: for real. For says they didn't realize this when they
Speaker 1: announced it. What I want to know is who did
Speaker 1: realize this? Who looked at out or who's thought, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, this isn't that O J's bird. How is
Speaker 1: it possible? We don't know how to purel, but we
Speaker 1: do know this. Um. The Ford Bronco looks cool, by
Speaker 1: the way, if you have if you haven't seen him,
Speaker 1: looks awesome. My kids really want the the Ranger. It's
Speaker 1: really cool too. That's the smaller pick up, right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Now the Broncos got a retro look though, like the
Speaker 1: old Broncos. If you like the old Broncos as opposed
Speaker 1: to the Chevy Blazer to come back, which looks horrible
Speaker 1: in my opinion, that's okay, it's aggressive. Hey, and following
Speaker 1: up on our our previous conversation, I have no great
Speaker 1: enthusiasm for Columbus. He was a perfectly fine series. Is stupid, yes,
Speaker 1: but we're talking about, you know, the conquistadors from Spain.
Speaker 1: The people are tearing tearing down those statues because of
Speaker 1: what they did to indigenous populations. But the Aztecs were famously,
Speaker 1: incredibly brutal and wiped out the villages. How about your incas,
Speaker 1: how your very civilizations that we were chucking perfectly good
Speaker 1: virgins in the volcanoes or or or infants or what
Speaker 1: have you. Horrific genocides by all those civilizations, and yet
Speaker 1: we flocked to their inflating each other and dominating them
Speaker 1: and doing all kinds of cruel thing exactly. We flocked
Speaker 1: to their buildings and statues and the rest of it. Oh,
Speaker 1: a fascinating culture, we say, right, come on, oh, let'son.
Speaker 1: Reminds me we got to where's that Tim Kane clip?
Speaker 1: We gotta play this again clip nineteen? We gotta play
Speaker 1: it twice every hour. This guy's a U. S freaking
Speaker 1: senator and was allegedly Hillary Clinton's VEEP candidate. Do you
Speaker 1: want the full version? Are just the thing that I
Speaker 1: used earlier? You know the short versions of fun? United
Speaker 1: States didn't inherit slavery from anybody. We created it. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's so dangerous. He is an America hater. You know
Speaker 1: what we're gonna talk about, evil Google. I want to
Speaker 1: hear the whole version. What else did he say? The
Speaker 1: first African Americans and into the English colonies came to
Speaker 1: quite comfort Virginia sixty nineteen. They were slaves. They've been
Speaker 1: captured against their will, but they landed in colonies that
Speaker 1: didn't have slavery. There were no laws about slavery and
Speaker 1: the colonies at that time. The United States didn't inherit
Speaker 1: slavery from anybody. We created it. It got created by
Speaker 1: the Virginia General Assembly and the legislatures of other states.
Speaker 1: It got created by the court systems in colonial America
Speaker 1: and sense that enforced fugitive slave laws. It was we
Speaker 1: created it, and we created it and maintained it over centuries.
Speaker 1: That is utterly ignorant and stupid, both of them, and
Speaker 1: dangerous and and and even the by uh. If so
Speaker 1: everybody said, okay, you're right, then what are we supposed
Speaker 1: to do? What is this point? Be guilty of crimes
Speaker 1: by the mere fact of your birth and submit to
Speaker 1: your new overlords. It's as simple as that point of interest.
Speaker 1: I don't think he is an America hater. I think
Speaker 1: he's something worse than that. It's the people that say, hey,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of America haters. I want to get
Speaker 1: elected by them, so I'm going to pretend to be
Speaker 1: what they want and even to them worse in my opinion. Yeah,
Speaker 1: at least the America hater haters sincerely hold their their
Speaker 1: twisted views. Uh. You may find this interesting. A new
Speaker 1: studies suggests that a million or more European Christians were
Speaker 1: enslaved by Muslims in North Africa between fifteen thirty and
Speaker 1: seventeen eighty, a far greater number that had than had
Speaker 1: been known before. In a new book, Robert Davis, professor
Speaker 1: of history at Ohio State University, developed a unique methodology
Speaker 1: to calculate the number of white Christians who are enslaved
Speaker 1: along Africa's Barbary coast, arriving in much higher slave populations.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah um. Most other accounts didn't try to
Speaker 1: estimate the number of slaves, are only looked at the
Speaker 1: number of slaves in particular cities. Most estimated slave countsil
Speaker 1: desths tended to be um smaller Davis. By contrast, he says,
Speaker 1: much of what has been written gives the impression that
Speaker 1: there were not many slaves and minimizes the impact that
Speaker 1: slavery had on Europe. Most accounts only look at slavery
Speaker 1: in one place or over a short period of time,
Speaker 1: But when you take a longer, broader view, the massive
Speaker 1: scope of this slavery and its powerful impact become clear.
Speaker 1: He said, it's useful to compare this Mediterranean slavery the
Speaker 1: Atlantic slave trade that brought the black Africans to the Americans. Um.
Speaker 1: And it just and I point this out only to
Speaker 1: point out how incredibly idiotic Tim Kaine's statement is just indefensible, factually, morally, patriotically.
Speaker 1: Can we all agree to see him run out of
Speaker 1: town on a rail? Can't we just all agree we're
Speaker 1: anti slavery. I'm I'm very much anti slavery. Too unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Now we run out of time to do the thing.
Speaker 1: We'll do that next. I'm just hoping that getting rid
Speaker 1: of Aunt Jemima on the syrup bottle is going to
Speaker 1: get us where we need to be as a nation.
Speaker 1: I think that will certainly help. Are they going to
Speaker 1: replace Aunt Jemima with Aunt Karen? Now that's funny. Oh jeez,
Speaker 1: that is funny. I'm trying to find something that's not
Speaker 1: like controversial and makes people angry that that that we
Speaker 1: have saved up for the show today, and it's just
Speaker 1: there's there's just bitterness in here. Here, here's a here's
Speaker 1: a question I got and it's the actually texted everybody
Speaker 1: before the show started that I find it increasingly hard
Speaker 1: to find stories that aren't about Trump as everything is
Speaker 1: being made about Trump as as usual, But it seems
Speaker 1: like there's enough tick in the virus is about Trump.
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a rally? What about this? But about that? All?
Speaker 1: You know, all the different Trump controversies of the day,
Speaker 1: but this one on a book coming out. I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to figure out is he doing the whole three
Speaker 1: dimensional chess thing or is he just making a mistake
Speaker 1: the Bolton thing. So he is by fighting this book,
Speaker 1: coming out and tweeting about it and talking about it
Speaker 1: in speeches and everything like that is clearly selling millions
Speaker 1: more copies of the book, the Barbara Streisand effect and
Speaker 1: an alerting way more people the fact that the book existed,
Speaker 1: uh than would have otherwise known the Barbera Streisan effect. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there was. I believe it was about a paparazzi photo
Speaker 1: of her house or something like that. She fought it
Speaker 1: in court, which only brought more attention to the fact
Speaker 1: that she lived in this place palace. That's called the
Speaker 1: Barbara Streisand effect, I believe. So, yeah, that's interesting. Why
Speaker 1: do you know these things? I don't know, fascinating human being,
Speaker 1: my social Security number, birthdays of loved ones. I have
Speaker 1: no idea, but uh yeah, So I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: figure out if this is one of those. Uh he
Speaker 1: feels a lot like him battling Bolton, and he would
Speaker 1: be right about this, not gonna move the needle at all.
Speaker 1: ABC this week, leading with that story today, Bolton says
Speaker 1: nasty things about Trump Yeah, so a bunch of other
Speaker 1: people not gonna you know, and and people that are
Speaker 1: Trump supporters will will double down on that whole thing.
Speaker 1: So is he just feeling like this being the lead
Speaker 1: story on Good Morning America is better than the race
Speaker 1: stuff maybe, or or he always wants the media to
Speaker 1: be talking about him and this seems like a good opportunity. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I often think it's overstated, h that there's some three
Speaker 1: dimensional chess going on. But I think in this case,
Speaker 1: he might actually be trying to pump up the book
Speaker 1: as a story because it's a It's not going to
Speaker 1: have any effect on voters. It just isn't right right.
Speaker 1: Oh um, So Google is evil? Also, you know what
Speaker 1: we need to get to is the the administrations for
Speaker 1: it was all for police reform. Comparing contrast with congress
Speaker 1: is proposal for police reform. There's plenty of overlapping ground.
Speaker 1: But I think a secret strategy is at work and
Speaker 1: you will watch it play out. I have sniffed it out.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna talk about Google being evil, Yes, a
Speaker 1: big tech is evil. Yeah. I was watching MSNBC this
Speaker 1: morning and they were screaming and yelling about how evil
Speaker 1: Facebook is they're not Facebook is evil because they're not
Speaker 1: evil enough my opinion, because it's all about spreading right
Speaker 1: wing and the evil that's what they think Facebook is doing,
Speaker 1: even though Zuckerberg's are lefty. Right. Yeah, that's all very complicated,
Speaker 1: that whole thing. Yeah, yeah, well let's talk about it next.
Speaker 1: So old is this kid drumming mic? Four? Four year old?
Speaker 1: Four year old drummers? All right? You know this about me?
Speaker 1: Ten more seconds of this? I think I get the
Speaker 1: he's tour but he's really good drum. Then he lays
Speaker 1: it down heavy. I can't stand child prodigies. I have
Speaker 1: no use for it. Listen to this eight year old
Speaker 1: girls sing the anthem. There are a lot of adults
Speaker 1: who sing that good. All right, diamond doesn't. And that kid,
Speaker 1: when they become adults won't be some sort of transcendent
Speaker 1: twice as good as adults. She'll just stay in the same.
Speaker 1: So what's the point. The only thing you've brought me
Speaker 1: is someone who peaked too early. They peaked very early,
Speaker 1: you know what. You know, it's funny and I've always
Speaker 1: thought that, and I'm not sure exactly why. Uh it
Speaker 1: might be because when I was like twelve to fourteen
Speaker 1: years old. I was a big, strong, twelve to fourteen
Speaker 1: year old kid, and I dominated in sports, and then
Speaker 1: I stopped growing. I stopped growing at like age fourteen,
Speaker 1: I was five eleven, you know, rippling with muscle hundred sixtys.
Speaker 1: I was the size of my fourth grader when I
Speaker 1: was fourteen, Yeah, yeah, And and then you know, I
Speaker 1: went from dominant, too very good, too competitive, to what
Speaker 1: the hell happened by the time I was like eighteen
Speaker 1: nineteen years old. And so the whole look at them.
Speaker 1: They're good early and we'll probably not improve at all.
Speaker 1: Who cares? Stupid kid drummer, Bring me no more child drummers, Michael,
Speaker 1: stupid kid drummer. So here's the deal, And I'm trying
Speaker 1: to decide how to intermix the tapes. Um, why don't
Speaker 1: we start of forty one from the Tucker Carlson Show.
Speaker 1: I think it does a pretty good job of setting
Speaker 1: up some of what happened. Go ahead, Sean. Most media
Speaker 1: companies are dependent on Google. Google control of all online advertising.
Speaker 1: So if you're in the news business, you obey Google. Well,
Speaker 1: Google tells you to do something, you do it. You
Speaker 1: have no choice. They can bankrupt you. In a minute,
Speaker 1: and they will. In all of human history, no single
Speaker 1: entity is that ever had more control over information than
Speaker 1: Google does right now. So if you're worried about the
Speaker 1: concentration of power in the hands of a few unaccountable actors,
Speaker 1: and you very much should be. Nobody has more unchecked
Speaker 1: power than Google does. The reason Tucker was talking about that,
Speaker 1: the reason we are is that some activists at NBC
Speaker 1: News started hammering Google that about various conservative website slash publications,
Speaker 1: saying that they should be demonetized. Google should route no
Speaker 1: ads to them, and maybe it'd be worth taking just
Speaker 1: a quick second. It's a little bit like syndicated radio
Speaker 1: shows in a way. There are gigantic ads sellers, and
Speaker 1: they promised to the gigantic advertisers, we will deliver you
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand sets of eyes or ears or both
Speaker 1: um and then they place those ads here, there, and everywhere,
Speaker 1: And a lot of your websites depend on Google placing
Speaker 1: ads in front of those eyes and ears. And so
Speaker 1: some activists at NBC News started hammering Google tattling on
Speaker 1: conservative websites for the offense of having comments sections that
Speaker 1: they did not curate. Google then said, well, we can't
Speaker 1: have our ads running on these conservative websites that that
Speaker 1: have bad things being said on them. A couple of problems.
Speaker 1: Number one, the progressive activists decide what's a bad thing
Speaker 1: and what's not and then petition Google to get it
Speaker 1: taken down. And the other rich just astounding irony. As
Speaker 1: Senator Josh Holly tweeted, and in front of me, somewhere
Speaker 1: there it is, um, wait, wait, you want to treat
Speaker 1: the federalist comic comments section, which they don't curate, is
Speaker 1: their speech, but simultaneously say the content you directly host
Speaker 1: and modify is not your speech under section to thirty
Speaker 1: the commerce clause. Wow, this is getting really interesting. So
Speaker 1: Google and Facebook and Twitter, their entire argument is, we're
Speaker 1: not a publisher, We're just a we're a public square,
Speaker 1: We're a clearing house people post to us. But they're
Speaker 1: defunding websites that do the same if they don't like
Speaker 1: their ideology. Now the backlash against NBC News has begun.
Speaker 1: I know Zero Hedge was caught up in this too.
Speaker 1: I don't have a sense of how hard it would
Speaker 1: be to monitor your comments section, but I'll bet it
Speaker 1: be a lot of work. We have somebody on it
Speaker 1: all the time. Yeah, the good folks at the Federalists
Speaker 1: just said, all right, we'll take it down for now
Speaker 1: until all this gets decided. And Google said, okay, you
Speaker 1: can have your money back. But Sean Davis, who was
Speaker 1: one of the co founders of The Federalist, which is
Speaker 1: an absolutely fabulous, rock solid, smart conservative journalists. It's a
Speaker 1: smart academic thing. It's not a flame throwing moomb chucking
Speaker 1: in sort of place. No, no, let's hear a clip
Speaker 1: forty five. This is Sean Davis who is a co
Speaker 1: founder of The Federalist. In fact, it looks like NBC,
Speaker 1: the network that coddled Harvey Weinstein and Matt Lauer by
Speaker 1: the way, and partnered with a foreign left wing group
Speaker 1: in Europe to go after US and to use Google
Speaker 1: to go after us. And as of now, since we
Speaker 1: have temporarily removed our comments sections, I can assure you
Speaker 1: they will be back. We are back in Google's good graces.
Speaker 1: But this is a pretty terrifying example of the power
Speaker 1: that you had have between the unholy union of corrupt
Speaker 1: media and monopolistic tech oligarts. And then go ahead is
Speaker 1: next left, And here we have a a foreign unit
Speaker 1: at NBC that with the Orwellian name, the NBC News
Speaker 1: Verification Unit. Uh. The irony, there's enough to make you laugh.
Speaker 1: Seeking with another left wing foreign group to d platform
Speaker 1: an American media organization, one that's supposed to be defended,
Speaker 1: uh and made sacred saying to under the First Amendment,
Speaker 1: and trying to get us d platform by going to
Speaker 1: their left wing friends at Google. So I think there
Speaker 1: are a lot of questions that need to be answered,
Speaker 1: especially by those involved at CNN who put forward a
Speaker 1: completely false and maliciously so article attacking us, slurring us
Speaker 1: and slamming us and defaming us with things that had
Speaker 1: no basis in reality whatsoever. And if this were a
Speaker 1: just world, there would be accountability for that. There would
Speaker 1: be accountability for fake journalists who go around trying to
Speaker 1: destroy their competition for the crime of criticized. So this woman,
Speaker 1: adel Mimoco Frasier, who's part of the foreign branch of
Speaker 1: MSN or NBC, was tweeting thanks to blankety blank for
Speaker 1: their hard work and collaboration. Too far right sites zero
Speaker 1: Hedge and The Federalist will no longer be able to
Speaker 1: generate revenue from any advertisements served by Google ads um.
Speaker 1: She quickly deleted the tweet. We shared it. Well, that's
Speaker 1: kind of confusing, but um, one of the most troubling
Speaker 1: aspects of this is that the Federalist is unquestionably right.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a conservative website, but as we said,
Speaker 1: it's very, very smart and considered. UM and zero Hedge
Speaker 1: is a kind of contrarian, non party affiliated, calling the
Speaker 1: bs on both sides. They savage the Republicans regularly, but
Speaker 1: this activist gal managed to label them as far right
Speaker 1: and dangerous and brimming with hate speech and got him banned.
Speaker 1: I gotta believe the people are going to be held
Speaker 1: accountable for their comments section. There will be no more
Speaker 1: comments sections at all, which is not the worst thing
Speaker 1: I've ever heard. No, no, no, definitely. These media companies
Speaker 1: are so powerful and man behind the scenes, you wouldn't
Speaker 1: like what you see. Well, that's due to the pandemic.
Speaker 1: Walmart is testing a store that only offers self check out,
Speaker 1: and if it's successful, it could be expanded to more stores.
Speaker 1: It's to limit human interaction and to increase interaction with
Speaker 1: buttons that thousands of people touch. It's pretty good you're
Speaker 1: breathing wrong, particularly if you're a mouth breather what which
Speaker 1: we've been mocking for quite some time. What whoa whoa?
Speaker 1: I have a deviated septum. It's not my fault. Well, see,
Speaker 1: that's the problem with the whole mouth breathe of thing.
Speaker 1: When you're ready to ride Metro, we want you to
Speaker 1: know we're ready for you. Here are just a few
Speaker 1: of the people at Metro to tell you how we're
Speaker 1: doing our part to keep riders safe. We clean you
Speaker 1: like novel before you've found hands out of suns of
Speaker 1: statist no mask, no Metro need one. We have a
Speaker 1: few extras at Metro. We're doing our part to keep
Speaker 1: the DC area moving. Find out more at well not
Speaker 1: a dot com slash doing our part. Have pen fed.
Speaker 1: That's a fact. My credit card purchase does get me
Speaker 1: the purchases. No one nose gets days rewards through what incarnation, sir,
Speaker 1: pen Fense Power Cash Rewards cart is it's just for
Speaker 1: military members. Anyone can get cash back on all purchases. Fig,
Speaker 1: you've ruined my favorite song. Penn fed credit union is
Speaker 1: it pennce fed dot org slash power cash. To receive
Speaker 1: any advertised product, you must become a member of penn
Speaker 1: fed injured by n c u A is that in
Speaker 1: the allergies a lot of mouth breathers are idiots. And
Speaker 1: I don't know what the connection is people who sit
Speaker 1: there at their mouths hanging open and are dumb. It's
Speaker 1: there's a connection, and I don't know. I observed it
Speaker 1: as a child. I would look around the classroom and
Speaker 1: notice the morons were breathing through their mouth with their
Speaker 1: mouth Just harsh rhetoric here we're talking about children in retrospect,
Speaker 1: but they were I had been around them, so I
Speaker 1: knew they were morons and they were breathing out their mouths.
Speaker 1: So I have no facts, and you know, just general.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's something, there's some connection. I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is. When the human genome is finally and
Speaker 1: completely unraveled, we will understand this. The slack jawn yokel
Speaker 1: is that where that term comes from. It could be.
Speaker 1: But there's also like my my son, just like my brother,
Speaker 1: My brother is gonna turn fifty, he turns forty nine,
Speaker 1: and here in a couple of days, Um, he's never
Speaker 1: breathed through his nose in his life, Great Scott, he says,
Speaker 1: and he just can't and he's had shots and pills
Speaker 1: and clinics and driven many miles and traveled around and
Speaker 1: just nothing. And my son is the same way. My
Speaker 1: son has never breathed through his nose yet he's ten
Speaker 1: years old. Um, and he's tried all kinds of shots
Speaker 1: and pills and clinics, and we've traveled all around and
Speaker 1: just nothing. That isn't so. Sometimes you have to breathe
Speaker 1: through your mouth. But anyway, you're breathing wrong if you're
Speaker 1: breathing through your mouth. According to doctors who say breathing
Speaker 1: how you breathe makes a big difference in whether or
Speaker 1: not he catch this COVID. Oh wait a minute, now,
Speaker 1: you got my attention. Our attention to it is long overdue.
Speaker 1: Breathing wrong. I breathe into my right lung, then my
Speaker 1: left lung. I alternate. Then the mind's kind of syncopated
Speaker 1: a discipline. Breathe, breathe, breathe, breath I'd kind of do
Speaker 1: it like that. Wow, syncopated breathing. Nose breathing is better
Speaker 1: than mouth breathing because it's protective. The nose filters, heats
Speaker 1: and treats raw air. Inhaling through the nose stimulates the
Speaker 1: release of hormones and nitric oxide, of course, which helps
Speaker 1: to regulate vital functions like blood pressure and increase oxygenation.
Speaker 1: It's just better all the way around. Wait a minute,
Speaker 1: Breathing through your nose can lower your blood pressure. Maybe
Speaker 1: that's your blood pressure situation. Breathe through your mouth. Mouth.
Speaker 1: I am. Most of us take twenty five breaths a day,
Speaker 1: so breathing properly is critical to our body's function. If
Speaker 1: you eliminated all those opportunities to stimulate all those things
Speaker 1: by breathing through your mouth, obviously, that would make a
Speaker 1: difference with your health. I found that pretty interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that breathing dumber to breathing done properly keeps the body
Speaker 1: in acid base balance by breathing through that too. All
Speaker 1: kinds of different health of benefits for breathing. You know
Speaker 1: something I thought, I found that kind of interesting. Your
Speaker 1: mouth breathers. Well, I was listening to music. I was
Speaker 1: watching There's No Dummy. So that's enough of that mentioned
Speaker 1: yesterday the dust up between China and India, Oh man,
Speaker 1: dust up horrific? Or was it? And this is only
Speaker 1: my own personal feelings, but we'll start here. So at
Speaker 1: least twenty Indian soldiers killed by the Chinese there at
Speaker 1: the border where they regularly get into a little battles
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Although it's been a long time
Speaker 1: since there's been death, not been death since the seventies
Speaker 1: and UH, to me, this is a sign that things
Speaker 1: are even more tense than they might otherwise be. So
Speaker 1: you had twenty Indian soldiers beat to death, and the
Speaker 1: stories that came out yesterday from India is that the
Speaker 1: Chinese soldiers beat the Indian soldiers to death with bats
Speaker 1: that had nails pounded into them. Really well, that's what
Speaker 1: the reporting out of India was. The first thing I
Speaker 1: thought of was UH, babies being tossed in the air
Speaker 1: and caught on bayonets. That's a story that goes back centuries.
Speaker 1: There's no indication that's ever happened. But whenever there's a
Speaker 1: there's tensions flaring between two nations for some reason, we
Speaker 1: have to invent stories about what monsters our opponent, our
Speaker 1: opponents are, to try to whip up our our own
Speaker 1: our own personal hatred of them in our belief we've
Speaker 1: got to fight these people, We've got to fight to
Speaker 1: the death because these are monsters and the stories about
Speaker 1: throwing babies in the air and catching them on bayonet
Speaker 1: that was said about the Japanese and World War two
Speaker 1: said about the Germans is going and it goes back
Speaker 1: centuries these stories. When the Go four happened, when Saddam
Speaker 1: Hussein went into Kuwait, there were stories in the United States.
Speaker 1: I heard them and believe them that Iraqi soldiers were
Speaker 1: going into hospitals in Kuwait an unplugging baby incubators to
Speaker 1: to allow them to die. So that was just a
Speaker 1: high tech modern version of the same thing. And I
Speaker 1: just find it hard to believe that Chinese soldiers, if
Speaker 1: they wanted to get into a battle and wanted to
Speaker 1: kill Indian soldiers, took the time to nail put nails
Speaker 1: into bat It just doesn't seem like the most efficient
Speaker 1: way to dispatch of someone. A couple of things, India's
Speaker 1: tabloid media says, the most horrendous stuff you can believe.
Speaker 1: It makes our efforts at at ridiculous news. Same time. Uh. Secondly,
Speaker 1: the both countries have agreed to disarm the folks in
Speaker 1: that region, so there's no shooting wars um, so they
Speaker 1: don't carry guns. The both governments are making loud noises
Speaker 1: about how hey, hell, let's talk, Let's not escalate, Let's
Speaker 1: be cool here. Are you cool? We're cool? Are you cool?
Speaker 1: India's talking a lot more than the Chinese. The Chinese
Speaker 1: usuer was saying, we got nothing to say, but um,
Speaker 1: the Indian government is now saying the guys were injured
Speaker 1: in the fight and then died of exposure because the
Speaker 1: temperatures are sub zero when night fell. So they're trying
Speaker 1: to really at the government level. Well, all this skepticism
Speaker 1: about the nails and the bats, I'm bringing you. It
Speaker 1: was not a New York Times story I read. It
Speaker 1: was just stated that that was the New York Times
Speaker 1: saying that. Well, it just said, uh, reports from India
Speaker 1: say the Chinese soldiers had bats with nails in them
Speaker 1: and beat the soldiers to death. It's not impossible. It's
Speaker 1: not impossible. It's just they're they're a couple of gangs
Speaker 1: that have been forbidden from carrying guns up there in
Speaker 1: the hinter lands where it's freezing freaking cold and there
Speaker 1: are almost no humans, and occasionally they they throw fists.
Speaker 1: Well in a weird sort of way. It would be
Speaker 1: better that it were true than if there's some feeling
Speaker 1: in India that they need to build up the Chinese
Speaker 1: and the monsters so that they can have the will
Speaker 1: to go to war, because that's that's what happens. I think.
Speaker 1: I find out who was advising the Chinese with the
Speaker 1: nails and their bats on their tactics, and that's that
Speaker 1: those days used to remember the straight race. Bang them
Speaker 1: on the curve, rusty, put them in a rain barrel. Right,
Speaker 1: and everybody knows Joe Biden is soft on China. It's
Speaker 1: all coming together, Sean well teased out. But just to
Speaker 1: remind you why this is an important story, I looked
Speaker 1: up the stats on this. I more or less had
Speaker 1: it correct in my head, but I looked it up anyway.
Speaker 1: The most powerful militaries in the world number one, of course,
Speaker 1: who's got two thumbs an American flag and the best
Speaker 1: military in the world. Uh, the United States of and
Speaker 1: has been a long time number two, and they're there
Speaker 1: are different lists with slightly different orders, but every list
Speaker 1: I saw had Russia number two, I guess because of
Speaker 1: their nuclear arsenal. But so it's United States Russia than
Speaker 1: three and four China and India. The fourth most powerful
Speaker 1: militaries in the world squaring off in bat fights. Yeah, jus,
Speaker 1: So hopefully that doesn't get to be a bigger day.
Speaker 1: China big supporter of Pakistan too, and the Indians and
Speaker 1: Pakistani's are always at each other's throat. And I came
Speaker 1: across this term that I had never heard before, and
Speaker 1: I need to get hit too, QUAD, which is a
Speaker 1: new thing that is being promoted worldwide and China is
Speaker 1: really concerned about it. QUAD is a group that includes
Speaker 1: the United States, India, Japan, and Australia that has come
Speaker 1: together to try to counter China. And we're now all
Speaker 1: working together. And he did have it in the US
Speaker 1: and Australia. Australia nice little Pacific image. Yeah, that's the
Speaker 1: counterbalance to China, and China is really worried about all
Speaker 1: these countries now working together. Military is yeah good, I agree,
Speaker 1: But the military's exercise, you know, sharing intelligence blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: So they see this whole India thing as part of
Speaker 1: the QUAD. As I have followed my brother's travels around
Speaker 1: the Earth, is in the United States Navy. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: we work a lot with those countries very very closely,
Speaker 1: and um, I think it's really good strategy to do
Speaker 1: so as China gets more and more aggressive and assertive
Speaker 1: in that part of the world, and as usual, the
Speaker 1: Chinese are thinking a hundred two hundred years down the road,
Speaker 1: and we better be too, evil bastards. Millions of slaves
Speaker 1: in China right now, folks, do you know this? They
Speaker 1: have concentration calves. Do you have no human rights? It
Speaker 1: is an evil, evil regime China, that's how in short. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and just because they crank out cheap pharmaceuticals and underpants
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you ought to turn a blind eye to
Speaker 1: their evil pants. Now, come on, China, how often do
Speaker 1: you think you breathe through your nose per day? What?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just wondering. Compared it to my son,
Speaker 1: I mostly breathe through my mouth because like right now,
Speaker 1: right now I'm getting like probably of what should be
Speaker 1: happening in my left nostril and that's probably about sixty
Speaker 1: my right and nostril. You've a very careful gauge for nostril.
Speaker 1: H Well, it's partly that uh ear nose and throat
Speaker 1: guy told me you have a thirty pent of the
Speaker 1: space you're supposed to have in this one in like
Speaker 1: seventy and that one and then as the allergies come
Speaker 1: and go, and I got my nose broken, but they
Speaker 1: say that probably didn't affect it. Now, my son's never
Speaker 1: had his nose broken, and he can't he can't breathe
Speaker 1: through his nose. We went to an ear nose and
Speaker 1: throat person when he was a baby. My my wife
Speaker 1: is still mad about this, and it turns out we're
Speaker 1: right because he's tanning. He still can't breathe through his nose.
Speaker 1: But the doctor said he's just too fat to breathe
Speaker 1: through his nose. That's what the nose and throat said,
Speaker 1: fat nostrils. So because he couldn't sleep, and your baby
Speaker 1: can't sleep, is always waking up, and we thought he
Speaker 1: wakes up because as soon as he closes his mouth,
Speaker 1: he wakes up because he can't breathe through his nose.
Speaker 1: He's got like the the what do you call it?
Speaker 1: With the sleep? Yeah, but anyway, we get the you know,
Speaker 1: you get the specialist in the appointment and you wait
Speaker 1: and wait and go, and all he says is your
Speaker 1: baby's too fat. So anyway, I fought him when we're
Speaker 1: rolling around their glove everywhere. Immediately shoot for the double rights.
Speaker 1: Seems reasonable. They don't expect you to come low, absolutely right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm bouncing his head off. Luckily there's a lot of
Speaker 1: gauze around so well right, well the quote a great
Speaker 1: lile love it, fat baby has got no pride? Who
Speaker 1: needs pride? Um as the NBA season coming back if
Speaker 1: it does. They got a lot of rules. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: beginning to wonder. It seemed like they were, but the
Speaker 1: players are are not happy. We might not have any
Speaker 1: sports this year. Got golf, a great game of golf. Okay,
Speaker 1: other sports, team sports, we might not have any of
Speaker 1: this year. Anyway, stay tuned our text line nine five
Speaker 1: k f TC the Armstrong and Jetty shows Ajean and
Speaker 1: I spoke with Avery Bradley with the Lakers, who's one
Speaker 1: of the leaders of this coalition. If it's for the
Speaker 1: first time, it became really clear what concrete, tangible actions
Speaker 1: they're looking for, and it's three things gone one. They
Speaker 1: want a commitment to reevaluating some of the hiring practices
Speaker 1: to make it say that the front office is basically
Speaker 1: the people who are the decision makers with the league,
Speaker 1: the coaches front offices um but the people in the
Speaker 1: league office, they more closely reflect the racial makeup of
Speaker 1: their players. They're competing for a commitment. We get into
Speaker 1: more of that. So their demands from the players in
Speaker 1: the NBA. That's some social justice stuff before there's a playoffs.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that. Yeah, it's evolved. They feel like
Speaker 1: they have power now. They evolved from discussing the COVID
Speaker 1: to some political stuff as well. Okay, I had that
Speaker 1: in front of me. What else do they want? Does
Speaker 1: anybody have that? Um, some shiny hats and more donations
Speaker 1: to causes. Just being aligned with the issues that your
Speaker 1: players find importance, as if there's a single monotone player. Boys,
Speaker 1: it's interesting. But but there was pushback before any of
Speaker 1: the social justice stuff came out along, just for like
Speaker 1: lifestyle reasons. Right, the players are saying, because isn't the
Speaker 1: plan all the teams go to one spot Disney, They're
Speaker 1: all going to stay in hotels, They're gonna be more
Speaker 1: or less quarantined. They were digging that. Then the social
Speaker 1: justice stuff came out. Well, and now the details of
Speaker 1: the health stuff is coming out. Yeah. On the social
Speaker 1: justice stuff, I mean, you're gonna have a certain per
Speaker 1: centers of the league, saying, bring Bosnians to justice, because
Speaker 1: it's a bunch of serbs and you know, Slavic type guys. Anyway,
Speaker 1: let's see, the league sent a hundred and thirteen page
Speaker 1: memo of health and safety protocols to the uh uh
Speaker 1: all the teams that twenty two teams I guess involved
Speaker 1: in the restart Tuesday night. By the way, is there
Speaker 1: a is there is anybody putting a time limit on
Speaker 1: these playoffs? Because the NBA playoffs usually wraps up like
Speaker 1: right now, and so how far you can you push
Speaker 1: you off? We can't be in December, long after the
Speaker 1: next season, halfway through the next season talking about whether
Speaker 1: or not we're going to have the playoffs for basically
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen season. Actually it was so it starts
Speaker 1: stopped very early. We're talking about trying to come up
Speaker 1: with a twenty nineteen champion more or less. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: nineteen slash twenty. But let's see. The memo reportedly included
Speaker 1: some important information, including how often players will be tested.
Speaker 1: Everyone in the Disney Bubble will receive a smart thermometer
Speaker 1: they can use to check their temperature daily. How what
Speaker 1: happens if a player test positive for the Chinese bat
Speaker 1: fever the isolation housing. But the memo also features some
Speaker 1: very specific safety standards for player is and staff to
Speaker 1: follow in their living situation. Uh. Here's some of the highlights.
Speaker 1: Doubles ping pong is prohibited unless directed otherwise by the NBA.
Speaker 1: Players should play singles only so that they can maintain
Speaker 1: six ft of distance from each other, even though they're
Speaker 1: going to be on the court leaning on each other
Speaker 1: for two hours and smashing into each other and not
Speaker 1: even breathing very deeply exactly. No headsets allowed during video gaming.
Speaker 1: I don't understand that one at all. What you don't
Speaker 1: need to understand, you just need to comply. Card playing
Speaker 1: is allowed, but each deck of cards must be thrown
Speaker 1: away after use. That's idiotic. That is so freaking idiotic.
Speaker 1: Doubles ping pong, but we can sider at a table
Speaker 1: and play poker. Correct. You gotta throw away the cards
Speaker 1: because they're filled with evil spirits. Wow, that is granular.
Speaker 1: No caddies during golf, No sharing of clubs or malls,
Speaker 1: no sharing of goggles or snorkels and swimming pools. Who
Speaker 1: does that snorkel dude? Yeah? Sure? Here let me take
Speaker 1: it out of my mouth and put it in yours. Well,
Speaker 1: how many NBA players are using snorkels in the pool
Speaker 1: like Disney ESPN, they're also grown men. No, if you
Speaker 1: you can stay underwater indefinitely. Have you ever snorkeled? It's
Speaker 1: great fun the fish. Maybe you're going to the ocean.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Since you get you're we'll take questions
Speaker 1: at the end. Players are asked to avoid spitting or
Speaker 1: clearing their nose. Rock I would, I wish nobody would
Speaker 1: do that. Ever, you know who's the biggest snock professional ish?
Speaker 1: My god, he's the massive snot rockets. Players are allowed
Speaker 1: to are asked to avoid spitting or clearing the nose,
Speaker 1: wiping the ball with their jersey, licking their hands, are
Speaker 1: fiddling with their mouth guard during games. The good luck
Speaker 1: that NBA Final Game seven, if necessary, would happen on October.
Speaker 1: What doesn't the new season start like so? Another thing
Speaker 1: that they're they're seriously looking at is the NBA has
Speaker 1: long wanted to adjust their season when it happens so
Speaker 1: they have more of there's less overlap with the NFL,
Speaker 1: so they are the major sports league for a larger
Speaker 1: percentage of their season. I think they're going to use
Speaker 1: this as a as a reason to kind of start
Speaker 1: the quote unquote start the all NBA seasons going forward.
Speaker 1: Around Christmas time, players and staff are asked to maintain
Speaker 1: six ft of physical space at all times off the court,
Speaker 1: and cannot to wear a proximity alarm that goes off
Speaker 1: when they spend more than five seconds within a six
Speaker 1: ft radius of another person who's also in sex fate.
Speaker 1: You are with in sex fate? How will the league
Speaker 1: enforce all these guidelines? Will it create a ping pong patrol,
Speaker 1: laur institute, nightly room checks. Charles Oakley is coming out
Speaker 1: of retirement. He's gonna enforce it all well, and I
Speaker 1: gotta believe absolutely, sir, Well, I know them married with
Speaker 1: kids players are complaining that I'm gonna wait be away
Speaker 1: from my family for all this time because you're not
Speaker 1: You're supposed to stay there and not interact. What about
Speaker 1: the single players? I gotta yeah, this is not the
Speaker 1: NBA lifestyle, me playing ping pong every night with other dudes,
Speaker 1: singles for months at a time. Players and team staff
Speaker 1: will be given the option to use a wearable ring
Speaker 1: that tracks heart rate respiration and other variables. The device
Speaker 1: features an illness probability score. I just can't believe any
Speaker 1: of this is gonna happen. No pets. You can bring
Speaker 1: a trainer, massage therapist, but that counts toward your team's
Speaker 1: thirty five person travel a lotment. M There's a hundred
Speaker 1: and twelve pages of this. We'll see if it happens.
Speaker 1: It's supposed to start Tuesday, really sports like in a
Speaker 1: couple of days. That's what it says. Here and here
Speaker 1: is never lied. When you're ready to ride Metro, we
Speaker 1: want you to know we're ready for you. Here are
