1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 2 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: Jetty and He Armstrong and Yetty. 4 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 2: In a March Mandis tournament is underway and as many 5 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 2: people are filling out their brackets to make predictions, there 6 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 2: is a company in Phoenix has robots getting in on 7 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,599 Speaker 2: the action as well. Handwritten robots usually spend their days 8 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 2: bringing back the lost art of handwritten notes, but this 9 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 2: March they are taking on a new challenge writing brackets. 10 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 2: The robot writes out its picks with the help of AI, 11 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 2: and just like any good. 12 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: Office pool, there's a prize at stake. What so we've 13 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: had printers, generations, well and just I mean so, well, 14 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: and if it's some sort of actual like quote unquote 15 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: handwriting a robot, Okay, I'm sucking at it. I'm looking 16 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: at it, and it is somewhat novel. But again, what so, 17 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: just I don't wire that young man's sense of wonderment. Well, 18 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: what I don't get is what are we doing? So 19 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: the robot is going to make the picks, then write 20 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: them out by hand, and then I turn them in 21 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: at work. Well, that's fun, whether they're having a contest 22 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: for robots or we should just have the robots play 23 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: the games. But what is your everybody at work has 24 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: a robot pill up, pick up, fill out their bracket, 25 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: and then you hand it in and and somebody wins 26 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: the I don't know. I don't even know what we're 27 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: doing anymore. Like we were talking about last hour, about 28 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: the AI coding and everything like that, Well we get 29 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: any what what will Well, this is the ultimate problem 30 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: with AI. What what will whenever? So uh will be 31 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: income will be provided for us? I guess by we're 32 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: just going to be such a productive nation. AI will 33 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: be so productive that we'll get a check from the 34 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: government and we'll do nothing. We won't pick our own brackets. 35 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: We won't code computers, we won't, we won't, we won't 36 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: do we won't write music because AI is doing that, 37 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: or movies, books, everything's done by AI, and and it'll 38 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: be great and it'll be just so satisfying. Wow. Human 39 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: beings deserve to die off, not a planet of the 40 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: apes or the beavers, or the ants or probably the ants. 41 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: Frankly so, Trump today is going to sign an executive 42 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: EO on doing away the Department of Education and some 43 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: of the details on that later. Wanted to get to this, 44 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: but I feel like almost compelled to ruin it before 45 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: I even get to it. So much of what we 46 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: do on this show, or all radio shows, TV shows 47 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: is just stupid. It's just dumb and to waste of time. 48 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: Speak for yourself in that My stuff is always scintillating 49 00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: and appropriate and timely. In that issue, polling is so 50 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: fraught there's really barely any reason to need any talk 51 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: about it. Most of the time. I've listened to people 52 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: who are much more knowledgeable about this explain to me 53 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: why that is. And it's a you can get such 54 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: different results based on the wording, and it's so inconsistent, 55 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: and then just the error rate in polling with the 56 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: small sadge and all things. But you know, that's that's 57 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: practically our bread and butter in the world of talk radio. 58 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: New pole says, blah blah blah. I think sixty eight 59 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 1: percent of people think, can you believe that? And you 60 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: can discuss it for a while. So that's just that 61 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: looking at something like the gallop pole across times, yes 62 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: is fairly efinitely. And then a new study says that's 63 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: there are other bread and butter in the radio TV industry. 64 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: A new study says, and these are always preliminary studies 65 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: of a tiny slife is something that included somewhere in 66 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: the article. They say. Researchers say there's not enough daddy 67 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: yet to be but you talk about it as if 68 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: it's true, and everybody does that. So again, killing this 69 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: whole story before we get to it, because it is 70 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: a preliminary study, it's small, and as The New York 71 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: Times points out later, there's a whole bunch of other 72 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: people that think it's wrong. And they think this so 73 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: coming up top heart doctor reveals five foods mainstream medicine 74 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: lied to you about. Mainstream medicine is now coming cleaner 75 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: in five years. Are we gonna anyway? There's one study 76 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: out there that says we age in bursts as opposed 77 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: to steadily. There are plenty of studies out there that 78 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: say we age more or less lineally linearly, kind of 79 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: like gradually over time. So if you feel like you 80 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: age gradually, fine, there's a study to back that up. 81 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: But in this wrong, this study is correct. I've witnessed it, 82 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: I've lived it. Okay, this particular study says there's a 83 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: big jump at forty four and a big jump at sixty. 84 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: The one with forty is mostly at forty four is 85 00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: mostly metabolizing alcohol and fat. Now it's obvious that it's 86 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: harder to keep wade off as you get older. I 87 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: think everybody's had that experience starting it roughly. I don't 88 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 1: know twenty two. I don't know if there's a giantly drunk. 89 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: Stupid is no way to go through life. Some the 90 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: alcohol thing in the forties is interesting. Lots of people 91 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: are who are hardcore drinkers die of alcoholism in their 92 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: forties and fifties. That's a pretty common thing where your 93 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: body just doesn't metabolize it in the same way. You 94 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: remember the coroner I talked to, I share your most 95 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: common customer. I think you can't tell that story enough. 96 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: It's very interesting. Middle aged male alcoholic, that's what she 97 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: sees on the slab most frequently. And how do you 98 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: end up being there at the slab place and drink 99 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: yourself more? You know, whether literally alcohol poisoning or you 100 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: know the related diseases that come from alcohol abuse. But 101 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: I think that is in large measure because you're brain. Well, 102 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: your whole system metabolizes alcohol differently. I've talked several times 103 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: about when I was just I was probably fifty nine 104 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,239 Speaker 1: and a half, which was less than a year ago, 105 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: that I noticed I was metabolizing alcohol much differently. And 106 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: just a reasonable Saturday night with the fellas that would 107 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: have been perfectly fine Sunday, all of a sudden I 108 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: was miserable and consistently so she realized, Okay, I just 109 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: can't drink nearly as much. She's noticed it. In terms 110 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: of hangover, yes, and hangovers. Hangovers were also very different. 111 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: Instead of oh, I've got a headache and my stomach 112 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,239 Speaker 1: kind of upset, No, it's I feel like I'm dying. 113 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: I'm miserable physically and emotionally, and this is terrible. I 114 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: have poisoned myself what I always thought about hangovers. And 115 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: it's still true that if you felt that bad in 116 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: any other circumstance, you would go to the er. You 117 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: would just be concerned. You'd be at the er like 118 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: I'm dying. Get me in immediately. The guy at the 119 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: heart having the heart attack, I need to be ahead 120 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: of him. That's how bad I feel. Imagine, for instance, 121 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: you ate a calzone that made you feel that way outright, 122 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: or if you consistently ate a calzone that made you 123 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: feel that you'd be suing the restaurant or campaigning them 124 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: to have them clothes. Well, I'm not trying to come 125 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: out anti drinking. I don't drink, but I'm not anti drinking. 126 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: But if it's hard to apply it to other things 127 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: he enjoys like I really like I really like march madness. 128 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: I really like watching the college basketball games. But man, 129 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: after I watch a college basketball game, I just my 130 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: stomach is so bad and I have a horrible headache. 131 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: But it's worth fuked half a dozen times. It's worth 132 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: that I enjoyed the basketball game that much. I once 133 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: read and I didn't appreciate it a bit at the time. 134 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: A guy saying alcohol is poison essentially, but if you 135 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: poisoning yourself just enough, it makes you feel great, it's fantastic. 136 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: So anyway, forty four, you have a big jumping the 137 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: way you metabolize you and these are all on averages, 138 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: and of course, but you metabolize alcohol differently, and then 139 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: the whole storing fat thing changes. At sixty. The big 140 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,679 Speaker 1: thing is your immune system and parts of the body 141 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: wearing out. That's the big jump. They say at sixty 142 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: you're more likely to be sick. Well, I believe this firmly. 143 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: I've observed it myself. Aging is much like mountain biking, 144 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: which I used to do with great enthusiasm. You pedal 145 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: upward for about twenty four years, and it's a lot 146 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: of work but kind of fun, and then you go 147 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: down at you know, mild grades and then plateaus, and 148 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: then you plunge down for a while, and then you 149 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: plateau again. By the ticket, take the ride, man, Is 150 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: there another option? Nope, I'll be darned. DNA and rodents 151 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera, look into the blood plausa blah 152 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: blah blah, very shorthandy DNA and rhadents blah blah blah. Yeah, 153 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: I mean, the rate of aging follows a steep curve 154 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: from early childhood until puberty. Of course, there's all kinds 155 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: of you know, the way you grow and everything changes 156 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: and everything like that, but then it becomes pretty linear 157 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: after age twenty. Other studies show you say you have 158 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: experienced the plateaus. My dad says that he feels that 159 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: I don't know that. I don't know that. I feel that. 160 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 1: I just that has not been my life experience. I 161 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: don't think right. On the other hand, are you not 162 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: seeking certain you know, aid with the aging process right now? Oh? Yeah, absolutely? 163 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: Am I take testosterone? Well, certain testimony is inadmissible in court? Fine, yeah, 164 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to admit test All I can say 165 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 1: is I haven't had that experience. So that's all I 166 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: can say. Particular organs age faster than others, though I 167 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: thought that was kind of interesting. The heart and the 168 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 1: brain may age faster than others. They're not exactly sure why. 169 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: That's why great. If I could pick two organs to 170 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: not have that be true, I'd probably start right there. 171 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: Come on, God, what are you thinking? Oh my lord, 172 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: I just questioned the almighty. Oh what's the weather forecast? 173 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: Is there any lightning? 174 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 3: Yeah? 175 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: That's an interesting one. So my dad definitely says when 176 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,599 Speaker 1: stages for him, like he was riding his horse and 177 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: had him on the air on his birthday many many 178 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: years ago. He's still riding his horse at age eighty. 179 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: Then just like all of a sudden, he couldn't. He 180 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 1: just his balance wouldn't allow him to do that. But 181 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: the brain and heart thing. That's pretty interesting. You really 182 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: need those. Those are two really big organs, really important 183 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: organs right there, and the left lung in the spleen. 184 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know, your gullbladder and one kidney or 185 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: something right right the heart and the brain. Who's in charge? 186 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 2: There? 187 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: Is there anything to take away from this? That's what 188 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,719 Speaker 1: I was thinking about. Even if this was true, and 189 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: it might not be, Is there anything to take away 190 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: from this? So le's your takeaway? Yeah, it don't panic, 191 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: it's fine. Just keep doing the things that are smart 192 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: to be healthy. And if you notice, oh my lord, 193 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 1: I feel significantly older than I did two years ago. 194 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: You know, again, as I said, by the ticket, take 195 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: the ride. It's part of life. Just to be as 196 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: positive as you can about it. My other aberrant situation 197 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: that makes me not a good candidate for discussing this 198 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: is getting cancer at age forty nine, and that whole 199 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: thing just changed so many parts of my body. I 200 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: don't have any idea what it would have been like 201 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: to go through those couple of years without cancer. I 202 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,599 Speaker 1: don't know. I lost so much muscle and everything like that. 203 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: In my heart. The doctor tells me my heart is 204 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,599 Speaker 1: ten years older. And I need to treat it like 205 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: it's ten years older. My heart aged ten years because 206 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,599 Speaker 1: of chemotherapy. Did you know that? I didn't know that. 207 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 1: The l remember you're saying, so, yeah, I didn't know that, 208 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: did that? Not like you have an option? But right right? 209 00:11:52,440 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: Sobering too, sobering? So your heart and your brain? No, okay, fantastic, Spreghetti. 210 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: Your hotel suite is ready. Unfortunately there's rats in the 211 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: bed and no plumbing. But other than that, we think 212 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: you'll find the room delightful. No, no, you're gonna be fine, 213 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: except for your heart and your brain. No, I say, 214 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: thank Your ankles are going to hold out? Oh great, thanks? 215 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: Is the Department of Education actually gonna go away? Maybe 216 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,719 Speaker 1: it's certainly going to be a political win among other things. 217 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: On the way, stay here. Tomorrow is the. 218 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 4: First round of Mars madness. Oh yeah, but this year 219 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 4: will be a little different. If you see a car 220 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 4: flipped over, its either fans celebrating their school or people 221 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 4: protesting Elon Musk so just too careful one. 222 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: Of the two. Ah ha ha ha haa domestic terrorism hilarious. 223 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: I don't it's it's just interesting to for a variety 224 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: of reasons this is not being treated like what it is. Yeah, 225 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: either the the political aspect of this is treated as 226 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: just fine and predictable because you know, Elon Musk is 227 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: a Nazi he gave that salute. Or I've come across 228 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: a couple of news accounts that don't mention any political 229 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 1: aspect of it at all. People are setting fire to 230 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: Tesla's and blowing up to the dealerships. That's weird in 231 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: other news, right, Yeah, exactly the media news media sucks. 232 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: And so how did Tim Walls end up back on 233 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: anybody's radar? Agaon? Does he have aspirations? Is he like 234 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: trying to figure out a way to get his name 235 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,599 Speaker 1: out there with Gavin Newsom's name out there and stuff like, 236 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: see you think he's gonna run for president? Man, he 237 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,719 Speaker 1: is disillusioned if he thinks he's got any I hope 238 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: he has aspirations to be a laughing stock, because that 239 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: is certainly his greatest talent. Yes, he actually thinks he 240 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 1: might have an outside chance. Wow. I wonder if he 241 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: thinks Kamala held him back anyway, just a Tesla's stock. 242 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: This is what Tim Walls was on a stage in 243 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: front of a bunch of people who like his sort 244 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: of politics and said this yesterday, let me know this 245 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: on the iPhone. They've got that little stock app I 246 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: added Tesla tude to give me a little boost during 247 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: the day. 248 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 3: Two twenty five and dropping so. And if you own one, 249 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 3: if you own one, we're not blaming you. You can 250 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 3: you can take dental floss and pull the Tesla thing off, 251 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 3: you know, and take out of just telling you. 252 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: That is so stupid and self defeating. I'm enjoying it. 253 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: That is something, isn't it. The only electric car company 254 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: that has ever even come close to making a dent 255 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: in the idea of driving. And it's a punchline for 256 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: Democrats now of yay, it's failing and people are setting 257 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: on fire. Whoo, except it's not, by any estimates, still 258 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: the most valuable car company in the world as of today. Yeah, 259 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: the insanely inflated stock is now just crazy inflated. If 260 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: you dig, and we don't have time now, but if 261 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: you dig into the numbers that we were talking about earlier, 262 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: Democratic Party twenty nine percent favorable on CNN twenty seven percent, 263 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: then NBC, if you go into some of the other 264 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: questions they asked about our Democrats focused on helping people 265 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: like me and blah blah blah that sort of thing. 266 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: It's miserable, absolutely miserable. I feel like if you were 267 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: on strategy and you said, hey, I just like say 268 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: I love teslas. If I'm a Democrat. If I love teslas, 269 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: I love electric cars, I think we should all drive them. 270 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: I think the world would be a lot better if 271 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: we did. I don't like what Elon Musk is doing 272 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: with Doge. I think if you said that, I think 273 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: a lot of Democrats would react, Well, there's a normal 274 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: person with a normal reaction, right, I think you're right. 275 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: I was about to say what I'm about to say 276 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: is one of the most depressing things you'll ever hear. 277 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: But I'm going to amend it after I said, what 278 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: you just said is far too nuanced for American Paula. 279 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: You really think so? No, I think I just think no. 280 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: And here's the here's the the amendment. I think the 281 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: Democrats think that message is far too nuanced for American politiciss. 282 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: They have such contempt for voters, and that is that 283 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: is I think at the heart of their undoing. They 284 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: view themselves as so morally superior and so much smarter 285 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: than the average American. I mean, if you if you 286 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: disagree with me, please explain yourself, because I think that 287 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: is their number one sin. Be similar to standing in 288 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: front of an audience and saying, hey, I'm pro gray rights, 289 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: I'm glad gay marriage happened, and blah blah blah, this 290 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: and that, but we can't we can't have men in 291 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: women's sports. I think most Democrats will polling show this 292 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: would say yeah, I'm I'm with you, yeah, yeah, just 293 00:16:55,520 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: you know, superior contempt or contemptuous superiority. That is their 294 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: problem right now. And that's I love contemptu superiority. That's 295 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 1: how I go through my day. Liz, enjoy it, Liz, 296 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: I wake up, I write myself notes. Hey, remember to 297 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: be this. They really need a Bill Clinton. We got 298 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: more in the way. If you miss anything, get the 299 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: podcast Armstrong and Getty. 300 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 5: First it was Elon Musk with the chainsaw. Now President 301 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 5: Trump taking a sledgehammer to the Apartment of Education figuratively, speaking, 302 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 5: of course, that executive order expected to be signed later today. 303 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 5: Here's Trump's Education Secretary Linda McMahon, no stranger to the takedown. 304 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 5: Earlier this month on the show on where she would 305 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 5: like to see some of this money go. 306 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 6: There are various programs that we would look at, scholarship programs, 307 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,479 Speaker 6: we could use voucher systems to go to different schools. 308 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 6: I think there are a lot of ways to provide 309 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 6: opportunities to children that are stuck in failing schools. No 310 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 6: child should be stuck in a failing school. 311 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: Glinda, I hope you do a great job and put 312 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: yourself out of a job. And what I want to 313 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: do is let the States run schools. 314 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 6: I believe strongly in school too, But in addition to. 315 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 3: That, I want the States to. 316 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 1: Run school He's expected to sign that today and Mark 317 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: Alpern and his newsletter said that Trump people must have 318 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: internal pulling. This shows that this is very popular and 319 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: they're going to have a big signing ceremony around that 320 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: today that they think, will you know, be good and 321 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: splashy in the news, even though it's being couched in 322 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: mainstream news of course, always as a negative, like the 323 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: headline in the New York Times. Trump to sign order 324 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: dismantling Education Department as opposed to implication being dismantling education 325 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: of course right, as opposed to child will learn ever again? 326 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: Right like education, the public schooling is going away because 327 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: of this, as opposed to a headline that could say 328 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: Trump to sign order to return power to the states 329 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: over education, which is right. The goal Trump empowers local 330 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: schools over federal bureaucrats. Sure, White House officials. In the 331 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: New York Times, it says, who spoke on a condition 332 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak, said 333 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: the order instructs msmicmahon to return authority over education to 334 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: the states. Oh no, the state will decide. How's anybody 335 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: afraid of that? What about Notspornia or ignorant Sylvania? Will 336 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: they educate their children? No? No, we care about our 337 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: children where we live, Thank you very much. Bureaucrats, We 338 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: care about them more than you do. You lie in phonies. 339 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: The movement to do away the Department of Education dates 340 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: way back, which we're going to talk more about, but 341 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: that includes key pro Trump grassroots activists expanded around opposition 342 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: to progressive agendas that promoted mandating certain education standards and 343 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 1: inclusive policies for LGBDQ students. So it's Trump coming after 344 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: the gays. Sure, Sure, it's not Trump coming after radical 345 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: Marxists who are indoctrinating your che children into perverse ideologies 346 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: while they're supposed to be learning to read, write, and 347 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: do arithmetic. That wouldn't be it at all. No, you 348 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: know a lot of the stuff even that my kids 349 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: are learning in school and I learned in school. At 350 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: this point in my life, I'm really wanting to boil 351 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: it down to like just the real basics of learning. 352 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, do we need the schools to get 353 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: into what you eat? The Founding fathers didn't think the 354 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: government should be taking tax payer money to bring your 355 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 1: kids into a building and explain to them eat more 356 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: of this and less of that. I could see making 357 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: that part of a biology course, you know, human biology 358 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: that makes sense. Nutritional science is you know, fine, you 359 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: own the machine, you ought to know how to run it. 360 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: But no as a separate thing like in the the 361 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: what's the term that the progressive use, progressive views for 362 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: the holistic, educational, the whole child or I can't remember, 363 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: you know, exercise, sexuality, what you eat? And what is 364 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 1: that gottness? I see declining math and reading scores over 365 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: decades and decades, and I don't know if that's a 366 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: cause and effect. But and what's so typically governmental about 367 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: all this is if I was running, say, a garbage company, 368 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: a trash hauling company, and you know, I was so 369 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: pleased with myself I decided to add on. And you 370 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: know what, our trash men are, our truck drivers. They're 371 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: going to stop by the size of the rows and 372 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 1: roads and plant daffodils casually. Also you know, beautified parks, 373 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: and while they're at it, help old people who seem 374 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: to be hobbling on their driveways to pick up their 375 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: mail and have all these great rosy outreach programs, and 376 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: the trash doesn't get picked up. It's like it doesn't 377 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: get picked up at all, or it's strewn all over 378 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 1: the streets or whatever it's and just everybody's angry. It's 379 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: a miserable failure. And it never occurs to me. Boy, 380 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: we ought to just get back to picking up garbage. 381 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 1: That insight is just too crazy for me to come 382 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: to and makes you want to pull your hair out. 383 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: To take it further, we're more obese than we've ever been. 384 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: So do you have any evidence to show that all 385 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: this nutrition stuff in school, for instance, nutrition and exercise 386 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 1: has done any good? And you could argue that it'd 387 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: be even worse, but I don't know. You certainly can't 388 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: argue that it's helped. So maybe through the ages. So 389 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: when we were kids were old, but when we are 390 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: kids in school, they were telling us to eat stuff 391 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: that was the absolute worst stuff you should eat on earth. 392 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,959 Speaker 1: So then you carry carbs and trans fats. So then 393 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: you've just got the you know, regular complaint that people 394 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: like us have is that federal government's off of and 395 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: wrong anyway. So I don't want them teaching my kid 396 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: what to eat right well, particularly because there's nothing more 397 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: intransigent and permanent than a Washington bureaucracy. It's not light 398 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: on its feet, it's not adaptable. It doesn't respond to 399 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: changes in knowledge or the environment, or for instance, that 400 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: the trash isn't getting picked up because the secretary of 401 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,719 Speaker 1: planning the daffodils by the road side is so intent 402 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: on protecting their turf. To go back to my metaphor, 403 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: they won't. They can't relinquish that as part of the 404 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: you know, trash pickup experience. Likewise, the activists and all 405 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: this bull crap is part of the educational age. How 406 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: about I talk to my kids about safe sex and 407 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: what to eat, and the school teaches the math and reading? 408 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: Would that be a problem. So just I'm not sure. 409 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: I'm not sure you're being clear enough. You don't think 410 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: schools should be teaching my child how to please a 411 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: gay lover or a straight lover for that matter, right, 412 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: I just don't understand how that's in the Bailey wick 413 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: of well, what school should be if you're going to 414 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: start from scratch. So one of the very few benefits 415 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: of age is that you start to see the arc 416 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: of their eye, and as it were, you start to 417 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 1: see the cycles of politics and society and that sort 418 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: of thing in a way that you can't unless you've 419 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: seen a couple of the cycles, you don't recognize them 420 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: as cycles. And one of the things that have has 421 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: occurred to me in the last couple of years is that, 422 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: as a young person in particular, you view what you 423 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: see as inevitable. It has always been here and always 424 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 1: will be here. It's my entire experience, and it's really 425 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: liberating in a way to learn how stuff started and 426 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: what it was supposed to do, and then see examples 427 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 1: of things that ended and how the world went on. 428 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: And it was fine even if it was a little 429 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: rocky for a while, it ended up being fine. For instance, 430 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: the Department of Education did not exist until eighteen forty one, No, 431 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine. For goodness sakes, the rolling stones were 432 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: old banned when the Department of Education started. Congress narrowly 433 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 1: approved creating the Department of Education out of the already 434 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: existing Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. But truly, in 435 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: the whole country, who's over the age of I don't 436 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 1: know what it would be exactly, but fifty five roughly, 437 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: that'd be everybody running everything, every corporation in all of 438 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: government was educated prior to the Department of Education. And 439 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: that's damn close to true. Yeah, we're not all stumbling 440 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 1: around illiterate, et cry for yourself. But the newly created 441 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: federal bureaucracy was more of a favor. I'm quoting now 442 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 1: from Reason dot com, which does great stuff even when 443 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: I don't agree with them. They're very smart. It was 444 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: more of a favor to a large and powerful special 445 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: interest group on behalf of a beleaguered president than a 446 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: necessary reorganization to allow the federal government to quote meet 447 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: its responsibilities in education more effectively, more efficiently and more responsibly. 448 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: As then President Carter put it, it was a giant 449 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: sop to the powerful lefty teachers unions, thanks Jimmy, because 450 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: he was losing to Ronald Reagan, and they swore if 451 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: he created a federal Department of Education, which would send 452 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: the delicious federal funding and have an ear always open 453 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: to the teachers' unions, that then they would, in a 454 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 1: way they hadn't in the past, they would endorse Jimmy Carter. 455 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: That was it. Wow, that's interesting. I didn't know that. 456 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, he had promised in nineteen seventy six. 457 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: So it wasn't even as do goodery as I thought 458 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: it was. No, it was more transactional than I even thought. Well, 459 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 1: and I got one date semi wrong. He promised it 460 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy six when he got the endorsement of 461 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: the National Education Association the evil and EA to become 462 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: evil certainly, and that he knew he had to pay 463 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 1: it off. And so by nineteen seventy nine, when the 464 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: heat was on, he actually got Congress to barely barely 465 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: approve it. And interestingly, Jimmy Carter is quoted at the 466 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: time and I don't have it in front of me. 467 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: But it's easy enough to paraphrase as saying, hey, look 468 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: we needed this for the NEA support. It's not going 469 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 1: to work the way they think it is. Oh wow. 470 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: So yeah, he was skeptic. He understood that this was 471 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: not a good idea, but he had to politically. So 472 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: another thing I don't think enough people understand or admit. 473 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: So I was watching some MSNBC this morning and they 474 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: were talking about how this isn't really gonna do anything anyway. 475 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: The Department of Education is so small. They don't as 476 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: a lot of right wingers claim mandates, what states do. 477 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: States still get to make their own decisions. I know 478 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: how this works. Though you all know how this works. 479 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: They will yank your funding. If you don't, you can 480 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,719 Speaker 1: do whatever you want, but if you want this funding, 481 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: you need to do this. That's the way the federal 482 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: government strong arms all kinds of things, speed limit, helmet laws. 483 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: They've done lots of different things like that. No, no, no, no, 484 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 1: you can make your own decision, but if you want 485 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: the big federal funding, you better go along with our idea. 486 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: And then which happens to be gay porn in fist 487 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 1: Grader's libraries these days, right. One more bit of historical perspective. 488 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: According to Representative Benjamin Rosenthal, who's a Democrat from New 489 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: York at the time, Congress went along with the plan 490 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: out of quote not wanting to embarrass the president, and 491 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal at the time reported the admission 492 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: of one House Democrat who said, quote, the idea of 493 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,479 Speaker 1: an education department is really a bad one, but it's 494 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: Anya's top priority. There are school teachers in every congressional district, 495 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: and most of us simply don't need the aggravation of 496 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: taking them on. There has been no more powerful and 497 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: awful perverting force of American education than teachers' unions. Oh absolutely, 498 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: And I understand and the idea of it and the 499 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: desire for it or need for it from the perspective 500 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: of a good, solid American school teacher, I'm not unsympathetic 501 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: to the idea of you know, it'd be crazy easy 502 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: to hire and fire people because there are a lot 503 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: of people who used to want to become teachers blah 504 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: blah blah. But in their current incarnation, maybe at the 505 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: time they were built, they were built for good, honest reasons. 506 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: They have become evil, clearly demonstrated through COVID. Yeah, oh yeah, 507 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: the most horrifying chapter. They're evil. Yes, I'm interested to 508 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: see how the reaction is today. And Trump has his 509 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: big announcement and might lead the evening news tonight how 510 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: it's proposing to have one lefty news anchor quote those 511 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: Democratic Congress people. This is not a good idea, but 512 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: we don't want to embarrass the president. And he didn't 513 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: say in an election year, but that's what he meant. 514 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: So Trump talked about something awfully interesting with Zelensky yesterday 515 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: around the whole Ukraine Russia thing that I don't feel 516 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: likes getting enough attention to. All all the things we 517 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: can talk about stick around. Meanwhile, so that. 518 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 4: Yale made the tournament this year and they're a thirteen 519 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 4: seed and they play at number four. 520 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: Texas A and M. Yeah, it's a pretty lopsided matchup. 521 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 4: And you can tell how Yale's fans are feeling just 522 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 4: based on the signs that they made for the game. 523 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 4: I'll just checked these out first. There's ahem, don't you 524 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 4: know who our fathers are? Up next, there's a do 525 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 4: you want to take this outside? 526 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: Where my driver will fight you for me? 527 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 4: Up next, there's why don't we settle this like real 528 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 4: men with a sailboat race? Then there's does the concession stand? 529 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: Carrie foi gras perchance? 530 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 4: Finally, please show me on TV so everybody knows I. 531 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: Went to Yale. You know what's interesting about that is 532 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: that the jokes are all centered on the idea that 533 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: your audience believes most people at a college like Yale 534 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: are rich. Why would the best institutions be rich kids primarily? 535 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: And when we're getting lectured from these people about inequality 536 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: and all these different awful things that are happening in 537 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: the world, but your colleges only let in the richest kids. 538 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: And as an alleged humorist, to your point, he didn't 539 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: even have to drop a hint as to the premise 540 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: of miss joke. No, because we all just assume that 541 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: because it's true, because it's true. I said this the 542 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: other day, and I've always thought this was really interesting. 543 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: Larry Summers, who's a Democrat, and he was the president 544 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: at Harvard for a while, and they had all of 545 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: these programs for years about diversity and this and that 546 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: and trying to get, you know, do away with inequality. 547 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: And he said he was sitting in his office one 548 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: time looking out the window, and he thought, why am 549 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: I seeing pretty much only rich white kids, even after 550 00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: all that we've done. Is he not to have like 551 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: a phone line to his I don't know what you'd 552 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: call it. Into college's money people, Miss President, this is 553 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: a little uncomfortable. Now. If you write a big check, 554 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: we let you in. But so they claim all these 555 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: various things, but they are enough ways to get around it. 556 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: Apparently that you still end up with mostly rich white kids. Yeah. Interesting, 557 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: How about smart kids? How about the smartest kids? How 558 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: about you try that. I want the smartest kids of 559 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: the best colleges, period. That's what I merit. Merit all 560 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: day long. Attack the problems at the elementary education level. 561 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: Oh but Democrats are not in favor of the speaking 562 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 1: of education almost speaking of that. An attack on homeschooling 563 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: next hour. It's disgusting doing away at the education department. 564 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: Somebody texted this and I was going to bring it up. 565 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: Somebody said this. We developed the a bomb, put a 566 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: man on the moon, invented computer all without pre K, 567 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: free babysitting in votes an example of useless education. Yes 568 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: there are. The pre K movement is a perfect example 569 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: of what freaking is wrong with the whole education system. 570 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: We're adding another grade that there are no studies that 571 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: say there are any benefit. But it's another grade of 572 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: tax money, federal funding, adding employees, maybe some more propaganda 573 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: to your kids for yet another year free babysitting. Is 574 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: this person's aid it no educational value. In fact, it's 575 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: detrimental according to the most responsible. See it hurts my heart. 576 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: My local school where my kids went to they built 577 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: a new building, and I thought, what was that going 578 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: to be? It's a pre k Oh my god. It 579 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: makes my heart hurt that they're going to convince so 580 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: many people that this is the best thing for their 581 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: kid to not be at home with mom and dad 582 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 1: or whoever and playing and having a good time. You're 583 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: going to be at another government school building for another 584 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: year for no freaking reason. I know it sounds paranoid, 585 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: but trust me when I say, I'm one of the 586 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: most reasonable people you'll ever meet in college University of 587 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: Illinois prominent professor and I quote the nuclear family is 588 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:15,720 Speaker 1: an organ of oppression. The government should be raising children 589 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 1: didn't occur to me at that moment, because I didn't 590 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,240 Speaker 1: have the background to understand that that was an avowed 591 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: Marxist expressing what Marxism expresses. As I often say, these 592 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 1: people wrote books, their names are on the spine. They 593 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 1: say precisely what they believe in, what they would like 594 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: to do, and having the state educate your child is 595 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 1: one of the bedrock tenets of Marxism. Fight it, friends, 596 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 1: it's so much more insidious than it seems. Not too 597 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: late overall, but it's too late on the pre k 598 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,359 Speaker 1: thing man. That train has left the station, which again 599 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 1: makes actually makes my heart hurt. I feel so bad 600 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 1: for those kids. Speaking of emails, David points out something 601 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: I meant to point out that when Tim Walls was 602 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: chortling about Tesla stock being down and how much he 603 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 1: loved it, that the State of Minnesota retirement funds had 604 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 1: one point six million shares of Testla in it interesting. 605 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: But he's a jackass and a moron. He's a jack 606 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: more more ass or some jack most of their ass, okay, 607 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,399 Speaker 1: the united most of their ass, which like the right cheek, 608 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 1: you're an idiot.
