Do we want our news to 17 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 2: be all the irrelevant to your life but interesting videos 18 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 2: of the day, or would we rather have like no 19 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 2: videos but relevant to our lives. I'm for the latter, 20 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 2: but I feel like it's exploded in the last week 21 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 2: or two. Your pardon the expression because some of them 22 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: more explosions.

We found a new 27 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 3: neighbor who saw the mishap unfolding. Then they showed the 28 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 3: video a couple more times and they go, yeah, I 29 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 3: couldn't believe it. I mean, it was right over my 30 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 3: head and I thought, oh my god, that's it. That's 31 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 3: the only new thing, right, So we gotta figure this out. 32 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: I was hoping Barry Weiss would have Tony what's his 33 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: name on CBS come out and say, look, we're not 34 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: gonna be the hot YouTube video of the day, We're 35 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 2: gonna bring the actual news. But no, they're the hot 36 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: YouTube video of the day. 37 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 3: Also, you know, these are appt and wise questions, But 38 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 3: I find myself wondering what happened with the garbage truck? 39 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: Now? I like a good garbage truck. Misapp there's the garbage, 40 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 2: it's big, it's kind of top. Was somebody asleep in 41 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: a dumpster? A kid kim being squashed? Nothing? How bad 42 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 2: it happens, of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know. 43 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 2: We gotta figure that out. It's hard to get to 44 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: the actual news. Everybody's pleased with Trump candidates winning. The Republicans. 45 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 2: Fox loves touting how Trump picks a candiate and they win, 46 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 2: and the Democrats love it. So the mainstream media loves 47 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 2: it because positioning Trump as the scary, scary powerful man 48 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 2: behind the scenes on every topic is good for them. 49 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 2: So there's reasons in. 50 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 3: The idea of you saggerated, all right, The idea that 51 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 3: he owns the Republican Party and he calls the tune 52 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 3: and everyone dances to it, which. 53 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 2: Is certainly in the primaries, is true so far. Yeah, 54 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 2: that's that's a handy narrative for the dam sure. Yeah, 55 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: good fundraiser, Good keep people worked up. 56 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, what owns my interest in taking apart politics at 57 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 3: least for the moment. 58 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I U. We've never been big on these kind 59 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 2: of runoffs or in betweens or all these different sorts 60 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 2: of things. Just not the kind of show we do. 61 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: But it is interesting that we, particularly as Republicans, have 62 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 2: completely abandoned the character issue in terms of candidates, which 63 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 2: maybe that's fine. I don't know, a lot of the 64 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: rest of the world was looking at us with wonder 65 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: like you care whether or not the candidate cheated on 66 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 2: their wife. That matters to you. What the hell is 67 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 2: the way Europe and lots of other places say, And 68 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 2: it used to matter, and we no longer care about 69 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: that sort of thing, or even in corruption to a 70 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: certain level. 71 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 3: So yeah, my main problem with Ken Paxton in Texas 72 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 3: is that he is clearly nakedly plaintiff's attorney's best friend 73 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 3: in the government, and he does everything he can to 74 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 3: make everybody suable so he and all his buddies make 75 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 3: more money. 76 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 2: And here's the way the scam works. 77 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 3: Because I know some of you think, well, he's very trumpy, 78 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 3: and Trump loves him because he's loudly trumpy. 79 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: You latch on, and in fact, you know what, I'm 80 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 2: going to switch teams here. 81 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 3: I'm going to show you how it works on the 82 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 3: other side without he's ruffling any conservative feather. 83 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: He's very trumpy, you say, the guy he beat voted 84 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: with Trump over ninety percent of the time, right, But 85 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 2: that's no. 86 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 3: No, he didn't pledge like fealty to Trump. Sincerely enough, 87 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 3: and Ken Paxton did so out with the loyal guy, 88 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 3: in with the boot licker anyway. But I'll here's here's 89 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 3: the way Ken Paxton types work.

Okay, I'm gonna just I'm gonna preach 95 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 3: about that with just vigor and sincerity. 96 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, my real project, excuse me, it's a bola. Freaking 97 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 2: a bola. About that side of that, that soccer team 98 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 2: brought it over? 99 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and I just you know, last weekend I 100 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 3: was board.

But I convinced the hardcore 112 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 2: anti ice crowd that, oh, Joe Getty, he is something. 113 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 2: I mean, he's more vehement than anybody. Ever, that's how 114 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 2: the scam works. Tired of it. Yeah, Thus ended the 115 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 2: lesson on that whole topic. 116 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 3: So Paxton did that with like the gender betting madness, 117 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 3: which would grab my ear certainly, sure, And what was 118 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 3: his other big one? 119 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 2: I can't even remember. But World Cup soccer starts June eleventh. 120 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 2: The United States plays June twelfth. That's so far in 121 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 2: Los Angeles where the football teams play, and takes on Paraguay. 122 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 2: We are the sixteenth best soccer team in the world 123 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 2: according to the rankings, is in the forties or something 124 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 2: like that. So we should we should beat Paraguay and 125 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 2: then move into the knockout round against who knows who, 126 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 2: who knows where, because all the matches have to get 127 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 2: played before they let you know that. 128 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 3: But we should look up I like giving a one 129 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 3: team a powder puff to open the tournament with. 130 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 2: That was good planning. I like, is that on purpose? Probably? Oh? 131 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 2: Anything you want the home country excited and involved. It's 132 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 2: good for business. Well they're and FEEFA will fix anything. 133 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 2: They've excellent point and if you go along with it, 134 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: you can win their peace Prize. They expanded this year. 135 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 2: There are now forty eight teams. There used to be 136 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: thirty two. So if we're ranked sixteenth, you know we 137 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 2: should be playing somebody that's a lesser seved open sure, yeah, 138 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: that makes sense. Yeah, so that'll be exciting. 139 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 3: The main thing I've been reading is that hotel occupancies 140 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 3: aren't nearly as high as everybody anticipated, and ticket sales 141 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 3: or sluggish and stuff. 142 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 2: We'll have to see if that ends up. Yeah, true, 143 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 2: but I've heard that story many times in my live 144 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 2: with big Olympics and soccer and whatever, and things shake 145 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 2: out differently once you get there. I'd be interesting to 146 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: see how big the crowd is rooting for the United 147 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 2: States though. Do we have the home field advantage it's 148 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 2: so far with everybody cheering for USA, or is there 149 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,119 Speaker 2: a whole bunch of people from south of the border 150 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 2: cheering for the other team. How many Paraguayans, did Joe 151 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 2: Biden let in, I'll have to check the figures or 152 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 2: if you're from Mexico, to you like Paraguay over the 153 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 2: United States in soccer, I don't know.

Of course, I think that'll get so interesting. 156 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 2: That'd be quite the thing. 157 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 3: Send ice into that crowd.

So yesterday Joe 339 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 2: brought us some of the pushback on the two hundred 340 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 2: and fiftieth anniversary of this country, particularly like a lot 341 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 2: of our parks and monuments around the United States and 342 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 2: museums and museums. Because I've talked about this, I've experienced 343 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 2: it myself with my kids, where there's got to be 344 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 2: all kinds of anti American, anti human, anti Western civilization stuff, 345 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 2: and every freaking plaque you see in every museum you 346 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 2: go to and it really gets tiring. And I said, well, 347 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 2: we're going to get ready for a lot of that 348 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 2: coming for the July fourth anniversary, the two hundred and 349 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 2: fiftieth anniversary, and then bingo bango. There's a review of 350 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 2: this book, America USA in the New York Times last 351 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 2: night Eddie Glaude Junior. If you're a watcher of MSNBC 352 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 2: or ms NOW now, he's a regular on there. As 353 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 2: they punted, he's a black dude, and he hates America, 354 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 2: and he's written this book, America USA, where he wants 355 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 2: to well. I can read a little bit here from 356 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 2: the review, which I find highly annoying. Eddie Glaude looking 357 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 2: back on previous celebrations like the bi centennial in seventeen 358 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 2: seventy six with Joe and I were old enough to 359 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 2: live through and everything like that, such celebrations, he contends, 360 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 2: have never really been the moments for honest self reflection 361 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 2: that they're often advertised to be. Wait a second, that's interesting. 362 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 2: So when mom and Dad have their fiftieth wedding anniversary, 363 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 2: the point of it is to have honest reflection on 364 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 2: all our flaws. That's funny. That's not the way most 365 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 2: people look at these sorts of things. I love how 366 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 2: the left will state that is, I mean, clearly, this 367 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 2: is the way people look at it. No, no, no, no, 368 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 2: Before you say another word, no, your very premise is perverse. No. Well, 369 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 2: it's your daughter's sixteenth birthday. Let's go through everything she's 370 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 2: done wrong in her sixteen years and spend our time 371 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 2: reflecting on that, because that's what we do with celebrations, 372 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 2: and why people, especially boys, don't like her and probably 373 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 2: never will. Yes, happy sixteenth honey. Instead, the nation usually 374 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 2: shatters the mirror, refusing to accept what it prefers not 375 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 2: to see. American anniversaries are often moments to turn a 376 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 2: blind eye to the evils of the past and the present, 377 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 2: glad rides glawd rights to suppress the fact of America's soul, 378 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 2: and it goes on and on and on and on 379 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 2: like that. And I knew there was gonna be a 380 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 2: lot of that crap. And the fact that the New 381 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 2: York Times already has a review touting how wonderful that is. Oh, 382 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 2: we have been using the marriage metaphor because I think 383 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 2: it's so good, or or whether you're looking at the 384 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 2: anniversary or just like your husband or wife. Do you 385 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 2: feel the need with your husband or wife for many 386 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 2: decades to constantly focus on the flaws that if you 387 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 2: don't focus on the you know a couple of years 388 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 2: that weren't great, or they did this wrong or really 389 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 2: did that wrong or whatever, always focus on the way 390 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 2: you're burying the past. You're turning a blind eye to 391 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 2: the sins. Is that what you're doing? Are you looking 392 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 2: at the totality of things and you're pretty happy where 393 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 2: you are now and you got here by zigs and zaggs, 394 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 2: But look at where we are now and I'm happy 395 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 2: with this and I wanted to continue? Which is it? 396 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 2: And you work on stuff that isn't great in a 397 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 2: way that does not betray your love for the family, 398 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 2: slash the country. Imagine if you know in your twenties, 399 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 2: the husband will say it made an investment that didn't 400 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 2: work out, and thirty years later they're looking at I 401 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,959 Speaker 2: don't know new dishes, Well, I'm not sure we can 402 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 2: afford those. You remember that bad investment you made in 403 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 2: our twenties that didn't help us a bit? That would 404 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 2: be poisonously dysfunctional, I mean horrible. I've known a few 405 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 2: marriages that survived affairs and strengthened them in some cases. 406 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 2: And do you just yet lean on that all the time? 407 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 2: Every year anniversary? You got to make that the focal point, 408 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,959 Speaker 2: because otherwise you're burying your history, right, you're censoring your history, 409 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 2: or you got through it and you're better for it, 410 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 2: and this is where you want to be and your 411 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 2: moving forward. It's so ridiculous, the self hating nature of that. 412 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,719 Speaker 2: It's a weird psychological thing. You want to spend all 413 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 2: your time on the negatives as if they've gotten worse 414 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 2: and not better, right, right, Well, that's useful if you're 415 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 2: selling that and you wish to profit from it, but 416 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 2: it's incredibly unhealthy point. It's toxic. We didn't do this 417 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 2: crap back in nineteen seventy six, or at least as 418 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 2: a child that was hidden from me. It is going 419 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 2: to be everywhere this July fourth. It's going to be 420 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 2: hard to get away from. For instance, I shared some 421 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 2: of this yesterday. 422 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 3: It's a sign at a Philadelphia museum that's getting geared 423 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 3: up Philadelphia, of all places, getting geared up for the 424 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 3: one hundred and two hundred and fiftieth Birthday party for 425 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 3: our country in which our country will be kicked in 426 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 3: the face repeatedly. What did independence mean for people in 427 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 3: the colonies of British North America. Well, that's a very 428 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 3: ABC one two three basic question. Here's the answer. When 429 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,479 Speaker 3: Thomas Jefferson famously declared in seventeen seventy six that all 430 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 3: men are created equal, his words did not ring true 431 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 3: for many groups in the colonies. Enslaved people, indigenous people, 432 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 3: women and the economically disadvantaged and others all tried to 433 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 3: that's your plus, you know, LBGBTQ plus plus. All tried 434 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 3: to discern what their opportunities for life, liberty, and a 435 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 3: pursuit of happiness might be in the new United States. 436 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 3: Individuals who could choose to support the revolution, most often 437 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 3: white men, did so for varying reasons. Some joined because 438 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 3: of political ideals, many sought new economic opportunities, and others 439 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 3: hoped that independence would bring Westbard expansion onto the lands 440 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 3: of various indigenous nations. Colonists like Edward Shippen, whose portrait 441 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 3: hangs nearby, rebelled because they felt that unfair tax policies 442 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 3: made them slaves to Great Britain. Yet many were enslavers themselves. 443 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 3: Growing colonial industries like John Bartlem's porcelain factory proved that 444 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 3: colonists could produce their own fine goods, but they too 445 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 3: exploited in slaved labor. So there is not a sentence 446 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 3: of this that does not suggest that the entire revolution 447 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 3: and everybody who participated in it was just a sick, 448 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 3: flaving monster. And that's in a museum. In reply, and 449 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 3: I've quoted Robert L. Woodson Junior before he is speaking 450 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 3: of black Americans. 451 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 2: He is a black man. 452 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 3: He is a man of the cloth, and he is 453 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 3: absolutely brilliant, in eloquent and a patriot. 454 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 2: And I'm just going to hit you with part of 455 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 2: this because it's a little long. 456 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 3: But the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of the United 457 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 3: States presents a unique moment to celebrate beyond flag waving, 458 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 3: anthem singing, and praising the wisdom of the founding fathers. 459 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 3: Though meaningful, such rituals become empty without moral reflection. This 460 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 3: is the part I loved, which victories exactly are we celebrating? 461 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 3: What kind of nation are we calling ourselves and our 462 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 3: posterity to be. Over the past decade, American history has 463 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 3: been weaponized to convince its people that we are irredeemably 464 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 3: defined by our worst chapters, especially the moral darkness of slavery. 465 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 3: Black children are increasingly taught to believe they live in 466 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 3: a country that fundamentally thinks less of them. White children 467 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 3: are told they are inherently guilty because they are privileged oppressors. 468 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 3: Both messages produce the same outcome, a diminished sense of 469 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 3: human value, the erosion of self respect and a collapse 470 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 3: of social trust. And people that are convinced they are 471 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 3: powerless will eventually live as though they are the past 472 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 3: should be a teacher, not a jailer. People don't rise 473 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 3: when they are taught helplessness. They are motivated to rise 474 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 3: when they are showing examples of what is possible. Then 475 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 3: it gives a great biblical example about the Israelites in Egypt, 476 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 3: which will pass over. 477 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 2: Go ahead. We're a first hit with is when did 478 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 2: this all start? Ten, fifteen, twenty years ago? Whenever this 479 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 2: all started? Yes, started in the colleges of education, leached 480 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 2: its way outward and they started doing it in schools, 481 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 2: and it was more negative than positive about the United 482 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 2: States at every turn. Ultimately, what well, I know what 483 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 2: ultimately it is. This is an attempt to bring down 484 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 2: Western civilization, but just for the teachers and the people 485 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 2: that go along with everything. What are you trying to 486 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 2: a what's your goal? Do you think that the perfect 487 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 2: place to be would for everybody to just be sad 488 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 2: about the country, or should we dissolve it? People cross 489 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 2: swim through rivers, they get on boats and shark infested waters. 490 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 2: They cram into the back of the trucks, nearly die 491 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 2: of heat to get into this country, to hope have 492 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 2: a chance to live here. And you present it to 493 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 2: school kids as if it's the worst place on earth 494 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 2: to be. What is your point? Right? Right? 495 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 3: Part of it is, if you're a progress of the 496 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 3: progressive mindset, self hatred is absolutely the pass you need 497 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 3: to show at the door to get in. You will 498 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 3: not be accepted in those circles unless you express hatred 499 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 3: of your country and of your race, if you're white, 500 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 3: of your economic position, if you're not poor. Self hatred 501 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 3: is a complete it's a requirement, jacket and tie required. 502 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 2: Self hatred required. 503 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 3: Anyway, So he mentions that the Israelites were commanded to 504 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 3: never forget their bond in Egypt, not so that they 505 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 3: would remain victims forever, but so they would never become 506 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 3: pharaoh to another people to find their goodness and their morality, 507 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 3: and to regret the badness of the past, but not 508 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 3: be bound by it. America must remember its own Egypt 509 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 3: in that exact spirit. Woods and Rice. The evils of 510 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 3: slavery should never be forgotten, but neither should they be 511 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 3: used as a permanent indictment against the nation. They should 512 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 3: serve as. 513 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 2: A moral guardrail, reminding us that greatness is neither inherited 514 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 2: nor guaranteed. It must be earned, defended, and renewed. Slavery 515 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 2: reminds us of the capacity for cruelty within every society, 516 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 2: and why we must remain humble, vigilant, and committed to justice. 517 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 2: Then he talks about the entire American experiment is that 518 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 2: we're striving for our ideals, and it's hard, and we 519 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 2: make mistakes, but those ideals they're a north star and 520 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 2: they are always there for us. And he says the 521 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 2: painful struggle to live up to those ideals takes courage, 522 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,959 Speaker 2: self discipline, and above all, grace, not the cheap performer 523 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 2: of grace. A political rhetoric that rationalizes wrongdoing or denies injustice. 524 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 2: The costly kind that demands something of you discipline, sacrifice, responsibility, 525 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 2: and moral courage. The kind that chooses restoration over revenge, 526 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 2: even when revenge feels justified. In his last couple of sentences, 527 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 2: as America turns two hundred and fifty, the question is 528 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 2: whether we still possess the spiritual resources to renew ourselves. 529 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 2: Will we continue nursing our grievances, or will we choose 530 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 2: the harder path of radical grace. America's future depends on 531 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 2: that choice. Radical grace, that's a good term. Yeah, yeah, 532 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 2: I've got a comment on that. But first we need 533 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 2: to tell you about in Cogny. We were just talking 534 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 2: a little bit ago about scams and getting calls from 535 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 2: AI people. I haven't had one of those yet, but 536 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 2: they can't call me if they ain't got my number. 537 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 2: In Cogny helps get my number off a databases. That's 538 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 2: what they do. 539 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, your personal information is valuable to the scammers especially, 540 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 3: and far more accessible than you realize.

They use the law 547 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 2: on their side to go to these databases, say hey, 548 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 2: you got to take their information on.

That's in Cognit dot 556 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 2: com slash armstrong. I have no idea what they're teaching 557 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 2: school kids in nineteen twenty or whatever. Maybe you went 558 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 2: to school and they never mentioned slavery. I have no idea, 559 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 2: But I'm I'm I'm old, and I went to school 560 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 2: you know, many many a half a century ago, and 561 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 2: they were getting plenty of slavery in school. So when 562 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 2: is enough? The whole we are unwilling to hold a 563 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 2: mirror up to ourselves and look at our flufs. When 564 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 2: have we spent an time looking at our flaws. Give 565 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 2: me a deadline of because it really feels to me 566 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 2: like we've wallowed in our flaws for many decades now 567 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 2: and the point has been made. Right. Yeah, that's the 568 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 2: intellectual class for you. I agree completely. 569 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 3: I'm thinking back to the family metaphor of children because 570 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 3: you mentioned teaching children in school. At what point is 571 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 3: a child ready for Daddy got drunk a lot when 572 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 3: he was young, or played around a lot, or I'm 573 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 3: not sure when you need to drop that information right 574 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 3: or a long time in Well, why are you teaching 575 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 3: six year olds the terrible flaws when what's most important 576 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 3: is that they love the country and its principles because 577 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 3: they unite us and yes, as they get older and 578 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 3: can handle all right, we said all men are created equal. 579 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 3: Slavery was all over the planet, including here, and the 580 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 3: founding fathers knew that was a tention they would have 581 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 3: to figure out going forward. 582 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 2: They were fully aware of that and troubled by it. 583 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 2: But they couldn't figure out how to renite unite the 584 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 2: North and South against the Brits because if they told 585 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 2: the South you're not welcome, it never would have worked. 586 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 2: So they thought Oh my god, this is going to 587 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 2: be hard, and we're gonna have to work it out 588 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 2: over the cost of over the course of years, and 589 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 2: eventually we had a bloody civil war to settle the question. 590 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 2: And yeah, it's been a really hard thing we've dealt with. 591 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 2: But yeah, the country lived up to its principles, took 592 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 2: a while and took a hell of a lot of 593 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 2: trouble and blood. That's a much more mature theme than 594 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 2: little kids can handle. And you can present the sins 595 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 2: of the country to them in a way that does 596 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 2: not wallow in self loathing. But again, the leftist class, 597 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 2: they don't have the same goal as we do. They 598 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 2: want to tear the country down. They hate it because 599 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 2: they want to build their you know, Marxist utopia. Wow. 600 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 2: So this Eddie Glaud who's on MSNBC all the time, 601 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 2: glod is in no mood for celebration, The New York 602 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 2: Times says, and then he says, down here in a 603 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 2: quote from him a half century later, talking about when 604 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 2: he was a kid, glod is refreshed, refreshingly honest about 605 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 2: the depths of his despair. Oh, it is refreshing because 606 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 2: we never come across anybody on the left who says 607 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 2: this sort of thing. This is refreshing his quote. I 608 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 2: do not love America and never have especially now, all right, 609 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 2: we'll go somewhere better. Yeah five, where's better? Go there, 610 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 2: enjoy and knock yourself out. God. Yeah, dang it.

Well, I just unwilling 614 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 2: to look at our flaws. Really, is that what's going off, 615 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 2: not what it feels like is going on here. Unwilling 616 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 2: to look at our successes, unwilling to look at our achievements. 617 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 2: Is what it seems like the principles that are the 618 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 2: envy of the world. That's what you're unwilling to look at, Eddie, 619 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 2: You fake the intellections, mar Ahle'll buy your ticket, pay 620 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 2: your moving expenses, leave mail bag on the way strong 621 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 2: yo Yo.

The President is going to have a cabinet 623 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 2: meeting while we're on the air today and probably answer 624 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 2: a bunch of questions. We'll have that later. 625 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 3: Here's your freedom loving quote of the day and a 626 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 3: compressed segment. Sergio is reading the forty eight Laws of 627 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 3: Power by Machiavelli, and he came across one that he 628 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 3: found somewhat troubling that relates to the modern age. In essence, 629 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 3: it's said, a man that strives to be good his 630 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 3: entire life gets swallowed up by. 631 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 2: Those not so naive.

Vast majority of 638 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 2: them are young women from social science or English majors 639 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 2: who are mathphobic. Not only are they opposed to math 640 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 2: on a philosophical basis, but they're philly incompetent in math 641 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 2: processes themselves. Summary what is opposed to math on a 642 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 2: philosophical basis? Maan, I wish we had time to sort 643 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 2: through that. 644 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 3: Almost none of my sixth grade students knew their multiplication facts, 645 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 3: and they were hopeless at two digits subtraction. 646 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:38,280 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm philosophically opposed to math. What wow wow? 647 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 2: The original sin of racism is doctor Bee's a topic, 648 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 2: Good morning fellows. Will people believe they are guilty of 649 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 2: the original sin of racism, they feel guilty about it. 650 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 2: To atone for the sin they were born with, they 651 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,720 Speaker 2: have to fight the racism of the past, like twenty 652 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 2: twenty five signs at the Philadelphia Museum. When normal people 653 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,399 Speaker 2: w push back, it is because we are not educated enough, 654 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 2: haven't done the work, and don't know what we are 655 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,840 Speaker 2: fighting against.

Oh, Adams and Jefferson were 663 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 3: highly intelligent men. They knew Latin and Greek and the 664 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 3: great philosophers of the past, like Cicero. To those who 665 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,800 Speaker 3: bad mouth America, Uh, those who badmouth America are utterly 666 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 3: clueless or indoctrinated swine who should be shunned. But as 667 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 3: Joe is stating in the past, you can't have enough 668 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 3: contempt for our media.

Oh, he said to his wife, Thomas 673 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,800 Speaker 2: Jefferson is not only my favorite favorite founding father, but 674 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 2: my favorite person who's ever lived on Earth. I'm sorry 675 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 2: to tell you that. And she said he's mine too, 676 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,240 Speaker 2: not each other, their favorite people who've ever lived Thomas Jefferson, 677 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 2: and they agree on that. 678 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 3: And finally, Skuyler from Eagle Mountain, Utah says, our family 679 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 3: lives in the Salt Valley where a lot of electric cars. 680 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 3: Our favorite new game to play whenever we drive anywhere 681 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 3: is cyber truck punch. It used to be punch Buggy, 682 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 3: but there are just enough cyber trucks on the road 683 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 3: to make it fun.
