Speaker 2: In defending his fire response, Governor k Newsom sent people

5
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: to a d NC fundraising site. He also defended his

6
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: homeless policy with a coupon for tents.

7
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 3: We got some fire stuff and newsome rules and all

8
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 3: that sort of stuff for you that I think are

9
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 3: interesting whether wherever you live. But a couple of breaking

10
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 3: news things that are happening in the final days of

11
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 3: the Biden administration. He went down to five days.

12
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: Left, thank goodness.

13
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 3: The FDA announced red dye number whatever needs to come

14
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 3: out of food. So get used to gray skittles. I guess,

15
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 3: like you know, enjoy it. I don't know if for

16
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 3: a dye whatever is hurting us or not, But no

17
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 3: more of that in food starting in twenty twenty seven.

18
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 3: And also they're going to limit the amount of nicotine

19
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 3: that's allowed in cigarettes. Will be the first country in

20
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 3: the world to do that. It's going to be a

21
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 3: low level of nicotine you're allowed to put in cigarettes.

22
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 4: And it's far below existing cigarettes. And I've heard it

23
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 4: claim that this is essentially a cigarette ban.

24
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: Huh.

25
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 3: I don't know much about that, but if it's if

26
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 3: you're a smoker, so you're going to have to smoke

27
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: like five cigarettes to get the nicotine fix you usually

28
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: get from one to be able to steady your hands enough.

29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 4: To go to work, or they're by damaging your lungs.

30
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 4: It's also the point's been made that this will be

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 4: an unbelievable opportunity for the Mexican cartels.

32
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: Oh wow, black market cigarettes.

33
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am mostly.

34
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: You know, personal choice liberty guy.

35
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 3: The fact that cigarettes still exists as a product though

36
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 3: it is really quite amazing. There's no unlike you know.

37
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not the same as booze or anything else.

38
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 3: There's no reason to smoke cigarettes for them to exist

39
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 3: as a product you can buy at the store.

40
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. If I enjoy it, that's reason enough,

41
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: isn't it.

42
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 4: Well?

43
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: The oll kid, I separate that from huff and paint

44
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 3: and special chemists that are easier to fit around your nose.

45
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see your point.

46
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 4: And the other aspect of this which is so frustrating

47
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 4: those of us, to those of us who love liberty,

48
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 4: is that to the extent that we're becoming a socialized

49
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 4: country and I have to bail you out if you

50
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 4: make terrible life choices again and again and again.

51
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: That at some.

52
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 4: Point gives me the right to dictate your life choice.

53
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: I don't like that.

54
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 4: Not I would much rather tend to the problems of

55
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: too much liberty and too little.

56
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: To paraphrase Jefferson, that's a one true.

57
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: But man, what angled web we weave when first we

58
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: choose to be socialist?

59
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: Because that is very true.

60
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 3: If I'm paying for your incredible number and expense of

61
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 3: health problems because you smoke, then I should have some say.

62
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: But I don't like going down that road.

63
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 4: I agree completely, So so much to talk about in

64
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 4: terms of the southern California wildfires. Then we'll move on

65
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 4: to other fair including the transition, the inauguration, and just

66
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 4: all sorts of stuff. Also, a great couple of blows

67
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 4: has been struck have been struck against gender bending madness

68
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 4: in recent days. You have not heard about this because

69
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 4: the bigfoot media hasn't reported it because they're not happy

70
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 4: with it. But dudes competing in women's sports, Yeah, hey, Sun,

71
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 4: go play on the boys team. More news on that

72
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 4: to come a couple of things to do with wildfire

73
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 4: though that I wanted to get on.

74
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: We've referenced this, I wanted to get to it specifically.

75
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 4: Twenty nineteen, a public relations video put out by the

76
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 4: LA Fire Department's head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Deputy

77
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 4: Chief Christine Larson, said that she was explaining why it

78
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 4: was so important that we have an equitable number of

79
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 4: women firefighters, because that's you know, firefighting, the Marines, they're

80
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 4: all jobs programs. They're not like task specific, you know,

81
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 4: occupations that demand certain qualifications. No, they're just ni social

82
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 4: experiment anyway.

83
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 3: Well, in the weird belief in disparate impact, So if

84
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 3: you don't have fifty to fifty men and women, clearly

85
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 3: you're cheating the system.

86
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: Somehow, that didn't end up that way.

87
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 4: One of the dumbest, least defensible doctrines I've ever heard

88
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 4: of in my life.

89
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: And there are quite a.

90
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 4: Few people who've served on the Supreme Court that believe

91
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 4: in disparate impact. If there's a different difference and outcome,

92
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 4: that's proof of racism, it's idiotic or sexism or all right. Yeah,

93
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 4: as I've said before, if my dog has spoused that view,

94
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 4: I would hit them with a roll up news so

95
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 4: dumb anyway, So LA's DEI chief Deputy Chief Christine Larson said.

96
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 5: And if they recruit an equitable number of women and

97
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 5: she's not strong enough to lift a man out of

98
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 5: a burning building, well, and I quote, he got himself

99
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 5: in the wrong place.

100
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 4: Maybe the hypothetical man burned in the fire will make

101
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 4: better life choices next time.

102
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that comment got a lot of It happened on

103
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 3: Friday and got a lot of attention for the weekend.

104
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 3: I didn't even understand what she was trying to say.

105
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: She must have said it poorly or something. What does

106
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 3: that mean?

107
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 4: Now? That was in a video they put out intentionally

108
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 4: in twenty nineteen. It just came out Friday and made

109
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 4: that attention. Everybody was talking about it.

110
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: So, but what did they mean that. I don't even

111
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: understand what that means.

112
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 4: What she's saying is I will translate, because I've studied

113
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 4: these people to the point of frustration.

114
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: The main thing is equity.

115
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 4: We must have an equitable number of women, and if

116
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 4: you point out a problem with that, that problem is

117
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 4: the problem.

118
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: The equity is not the problem.

119
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 4: The fact that women can't lift a large man out

120
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 4: of a fire is proof that that man is too

121
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 4: large and should be less large.

122
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: All okay, okay, did didn't I didn't take it that way.

123
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: I thought they meant that you're in the wrong place.

124
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 3: It's like you should have been in it. I don't know,

125
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 3: had your house catch on fire in a district where

126
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: they didn't have an out of shape lesbian.

127
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 4: Well, no, it's it's it's nonsense. It's that's as we

128
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 4: were discussing yesterday. The romantic point of view is all

129
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 4: that matters is my feelings, and I feel this to

130
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 4: my bones. So there's no facts you can bring me

131
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 4: that will change my mind. And I don't even want

132
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 4: to hear them.

133
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: It's just childish.

134
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 4: She also maintained the same nut job Deputy Chief Christine Larson,

135
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 4: You are a nutjob.

136
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: Lady also maintained.

137
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 4: That people want to see someone responding to emergency who

138
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 4: looks to an emergency, who looks like you, and the

139
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 4: National Review points out, yeah, if a Filipino immigrants house

140
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 4: is saved by the LAFD in recent days, homeowner didn't say, oh,

141
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 4: thank goodness, but I wish at least one Pacific islander

142
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 4: was on the crew. Nobody ever said that in the

143
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 4: history of mankind God, these people are lunatics. They shouldn't

144
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 4: be in charge of anything anyway. I just want to

145
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 4: touch on that briefly. All sorts of news outlets, The

146
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 4: Sacramento Bee, which is the Sacramento Bee, which is the

147
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 4: paper record in the capitol of California, PBS, NBC Los Angeles,

148
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 4: New York Times, all with headlines climate change fueled LA wildfires.

149
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 4: Experts say, as we've been discussing in recent days, virtually

150
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 4: every expert is a college professor quote unquote expert.

151
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: It's a college professor.

152
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 4: And what are ninety seven percent of college professors progressives?

153
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 4: So these experts always have progressive views. Here's another one.

154
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 4: Warming climate created perfect storm for catastrophic fires. The clear

155
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 4: link between the California wildfire and climate change. That's NBC

156
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 4: New York Times. The California wildfires are the latest disaster.

157
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: Supercharged by climate change.

158
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 4: Extreme weather events, deadly heat waves, floods, fires, hurricanes are

159
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 4: the consequences of a warming planet, scientists say, But as

160
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 4: they point out in the California Globe, claiming that these

161
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 4: fires are because a climate change is patently absurd. I

162
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 4: don't think anyone who just watched their home, neighborhood, and

163
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 4: their kids' school burned to the ground is thinking that

164
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 4: damned climate change.

165
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: Because climate change.

166
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 4: Is a catch all for dull and deceitful politicians and

167
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 4: low information journalists to cover for their incompetence and corruption,

168
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 4: and it explains everything and excuses everything. Anthony Watts a meteorologist.

169
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 4: He's got his website Watts up with that he is

170
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 4: a non climate cultist. He explained why climate change did

171
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 4: not cause these last fires, and this is the main point.

172
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 4: The current fires, like many before them, are largely driven

173
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 4: by well documented weather phenomenon, historical land use patterns, and

174
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 4: human decisions, not by a nebulous, haul and compassing narrative

175
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 4: of climate factors. California's relationship with fire predates the Industrial

176
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 4: Revolution and certainly modern climate discussions. Historical records and studies

177
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 4: consistent consistently demonstrate that large wildfires have been a natural

178
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 4: part of the state's ecosystem for millennia. You can look

179
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 4: at a chart of wildfires, rainfall, and droughts going back

180
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 4: to the nineteenth century when some of these records were

181
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 4: first kept, and you see every sort of year and

182
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 4: every sort of pattern.

183
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 3: As Tom McClintock told us yesterday as a congress person

184
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 3: from California who's on the committees that look at this

185
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 3: sort of stuff, they know how many acres used to

186
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 3: burn way back in the day, and it.

187
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 4: Was a lot, right, And then where is that? There's

188
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 4: one more story. There's a new term that's flying around

189
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 4: that you're gonna hear. It has to do with the

190
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 4: hydration whiplash or something like that. It's the dry years

191
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 4: followed by wet years. T Ration whiplash is part of

192
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 4: climate change. So they're trying to get that one going.

193
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 4: It's it's ridiculous. And as the point has been made

194
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 4: by several different folks, including ourselves, if you are absolutely

195
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 4: sold on the idea that climate change is with us

196
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 4: and it's causing wildfires and the rest of it, then

197
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 4: why are you so damn unprepared? You spend all your

198
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 4: time talking about how climate change is ruining everything, and

199
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 4: then you say, well, we couldn't be prepared because a

200
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 4: climate change, Yeah, which is it? Uh?

201
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 3: Dozens of suspected looters have been arrested so far praying

202
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: on really expensive neighborhoods where people have been ordered to evacuate.

203
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 3: So the government tells you you have to leave, you leave,

204
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 3: And then does the government do a good job at

205
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 3: keeping scumbags from coming in and stealing all your stuff.

206
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: That's a really maddening situation. But I'm looking this picture

207
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 3: of all the people that they have arrested.

208
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 4: It.

209
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 3: You know you want you want to you want a

210
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 3: group of people that looks like America. To a certain extent,

211
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 3: this group looks like America, all kinds of different shades

212
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 3: and hues of human being that are scumbags will come

213
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 3: steal your stuff in a crisis.

214
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 4: Evidently there's diversity, equity, and inclusion among looters who should

215
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 4: all be beaten. The term I was looking for, Jack

216
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 4: is hydro climate whiplash. Hydro climate whiplash. I will start

217
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 4: throwing that around, please do.

218
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: And then Governor k Newsom yesterday signed an executive order

219
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 3: prohibiting greedy land developers from ripping off LA wildfire victims

220
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 3: with unsolicited, undervalued offers to buy their destroyed property, et cetera,

221
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: et cetera. Karen Bass weighed in on hotels are not

222
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: allowed to raise their rates a certain amount. Jonah Goldberg

223
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 3: of The Dispatch tweeted out those stories and said, I

224
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: think this is profoundly immorally stupid. It's a waste of

225
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 3: government time and resources, an unnecessary impediment to economic recovery,

226
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 3: condescending nanism and demagogic policy.

227
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: Agreed every word, every long word.

228
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, government starts getting involved in that sort of thing,

229
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 3: and interested distorts every level of everything.

230
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 4: Right coming up later in the hour, later in the

231
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 4: show in defense of gouging. And also the homeowners who

232
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 4: have said, yeah, I know we're supposed to have evacuated,

233
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 4: I'm staying here with my gun guarding my home, thank

234
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 4: you very much, and their interesting relationship with law enforcement.

235
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 3: I want to Trump's inauguration, first term and the fancy

236
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: ball and everything like that. You gotta write a big

237
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 3: check to get in this time around, among the things

238
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: we've got to talk about.

239
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:41,599
Speaker 1: I hope you can stay here. President elect Trump's.

240
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 6: Inauguration is just a few days away.

241
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: I saw that.

242
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 6: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg.

243
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: Will all be in attendance.

244
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 6: The three richest men in the world all in one place. Man,

245
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 6: If you thought Bernie Sanders looks miserable at the last inauguration.

246
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 4: When a Democrat is inaugurated, it's full of Hollywood stars.

247
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 3: But that's just cool. It's just cool that Hollywood stars

248
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 3: are there. If you got three people who've accomplished something.

249
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: And happen to get really rich from it.

250
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 3: That there's an implication that something evil and untoward is happening.

251
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 3: They never I've noticed none of these stories connect any dots,

252
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: like make any statements.

253
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: Just the three richest men will be sitting again, Oh

254
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: my god, and finish your sentence, and they're going to do

255
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: what Barnie is gonna have to.

256
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 4: Bernie is gonna have to clap his hand hwn mittens

257
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 4: over his ears. He's going to be so disgusted by

258
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 4: the proceedings. Speaking of the first go round for Trump,

259
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 4: the first inauguration, we've been discussing at times lately the

260
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 4: fact that there's a very different feel in this transition.

261
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: Noat in twenty sixteen, it.

262
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 4: Was he's an illegitimate president. He won't even get inaugurated,

263
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 4: he's a Russian stooge. Wait till that brave investigation gets going.

264
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 4: I heard James Kobe yesterday and it just it was

265
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 4: all phony and really, you know, queered the beginning of

266
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 4: the Trumpet mattrols something he had to fight the whole time. Anyway,

267
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 4: it's a very very different field this time around, where

268
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 4: not only did he obviously win legitimately, but big and

269
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 4: and you know, the the festivities are in full swing.

270
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: There is full blown fomo.

271
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 4: Slash status seeking going on in terms of the inauguration

272
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 4: to an unbelievable extent. CEOs are angling for invites to

273
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 4: parties which include the Maha Bowl Ball and another featuring

274
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 4: Snoop dog who is the U two of the twentieth century.

275
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 4: You can't swing a dead cat without seeing Snoop Dogg

276
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 4: on the TV. What's the Maha Ball Make America Healthy

277
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 4: Again ball? But nature of it, I don't know. I

278
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 4: don't know why. But why is it so hot? Because

279
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 4: the RFK Junior is gonna be there? Yeah, And that's

280
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 4: kind of just hot among a certain crowd of Americans.

281
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 4: But eight years of go Trump's inauguration smashed fundraising efforts

282
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 4: drew in high dollar donors across corporate spectrum. This month's

283
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 4: event will make the twenty seventeen affair look.

284
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: Like a bake sale. Really interesting corporate.

285
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 4: Interest in Donald Trump's inauguration has grown so intense that

286
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 4: allies of the president of elect have been soliciting ten

287
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 4: to fifteen million dollar donations. Those are individual donations to

288
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 4: spread across various Trump groups. According to people familiar with fundraising,

289
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 4: some high six figure donors have asked consultants to help

290
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 4: them get in the door and been turned away. Wow

291
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 4: or wait listed. Listen if a ticket shakes loose, I'll

292
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 4: call you. Thanks for your eight hundred thousand dollars.

293
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: I give you eight hundred thousand, and they can't get

294
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: in the door.

295
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 4: The inaugurations raised more than two hundred million dollars so far,

296
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 4: could double what it.

297
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: Raised eight years ago.

298
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 4: And they name check various crypto companies and JP Morgan, Chase,

299
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 4: As McDonald's, del To Airlines, Lockheed Martin, Johnson, Johnson, all

300
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 4: giving a million dollars more. This is not unique to Trump,

301
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 4: of course, not every inauguration and every fundraising for presidential

302
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 4: library is legalized bribery. It's absolutely, unquestionably bribery.

303
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 3: Obviously it is. It's funny, no more, people don't talk

304
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 3: about that or call it that. Obviously it is. Why'd

305
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 3: you donate millions of dollars to the Presidential Library because

306
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 3: you just really like books for that particular president or documents.

307
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: Now no, I like.

308
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 4: Get nice diorama and they don't come cheap. You're hoping

309
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 4: to get a meeting. I'll tell you one thing.

310
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 3: I was at the main ball for Trump in twenty sixteen,

311
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen, but when he was elected inaugurated, and the

312
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 3: food there was spectacular.

313
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: I mean it was one you sneak in. How'd you

314
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: get in?

315
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 3: Somebody snuck me in. Yes, I did not have a ticket.

316
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: Somebody snuck me in it because I mean it was

317
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 3: the highest off high rollers in there. But it was

318
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 3: the best buffet I've ever had. I mean, the food

319
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 3: was really good, as you would exact, I don't doubt it.

320
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 3: I spent a lot of time lingering over the food.

321
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 3: Other people seemed like they were used to that sort

322
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 3: of chow, but I was really enjoying it.

323
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 4: Coming up in defense of gouging, microplastics are ruining your

324
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 4: life and much more.

325
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: Fire strong and getty.

326
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 7: Two US officials say Israel and Hamas have agreed on

327
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 7: core elements of a ceasefire and the release of dozens

328
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 7: of hostages. According to people familiar with the negotiations. Both

329
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 7: sides are working to overcome minors details, but don't believe

330
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 7: any sticking points will derail progress. The details of a

331
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 7: potential deal are broken up into three main phases, starting

332
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 7: with the release of thirty three hostages, including at least

333
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 7: two Americans, over the next forty two days. Israeli forces

334
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 7: would withdraw from passive Gaza and allow much needed aid

335
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 7: in The Biden administration cut our Egypt, and the incoming

336
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 7: Trump administration all involved.

337
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: This deal appears close, but a.

338
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 7: Reminder that Prime Minister Nashanyahu still has to get it,

339
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 7: his security cabinet and his governments to get the Green Knights.

340
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

341
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 3: I did read something the other day about the level

342
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 3: of coordination between the incoming Trump team and the outgoing

343
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 3: Biden team is really high on a couple of different

344
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 3: things that are going on right now, at a at

345
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 3: a level you wouldn't necessarily think based on the way

346
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 3: our politics are.

347
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because that should be what's happened.

348
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 3: Joe Biden is making noises trying to make this be

349
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 3: like the you know, the the end triumph or of

350
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 3: a long career in public service, him getting the hostages

351
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 3: out and cease fire deal I don't think it's going

352
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 3: to land that way. I think it's going to land

353
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 3: as Okay, they're scared of Trump. They weren't scared of him,

354
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 3: and now they're they're actually going to do it. I

355
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 3: think it's going to be seen as a Trump win

356
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 3: rather than a Biden win.

357
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with a syllable of that.

358
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 3: I also think, so why why do wars come to

359
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 3: an end when when one or both sides are exhausted and.

360
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: Hamas definitely exhausted.

361
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 3: And I think some of this is just guests, some

362
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 3: of it based on you know, the reporting that's out there.

363
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 3: I think Israel's hell bent on, probably with the help

364
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 3: of the United States, in a major attack on Iran

365
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 3: to take out that nuclear weapons facility where they're just

366
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks away from a nuclear weapon if

367
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 3: they decide they want it. And Man I was talking

368
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 3: to or I wasn't talking to him.

369
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: I wish I was.

370
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 3: We should try to see if we could get General

371
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 3: Petraeus on Hanson. He's got a book out, so he's

372
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 3: probably making the round anyway. I heard him on a

373
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 3: podcast the other day saying it has absolutely got to

374
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 3: be the policy of the United States as it has

375
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 3: been for a long time, that Iran does not get

376
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 3: a nuclear weapon, because that would just change all of

377
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 3: the formulas for the way everything is done in the

378
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 3: Middle least going forward.

379
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 4: And there's virtually nobody on earth who disagrees with that,

380
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 4: no significant power, I mean, Russia is in bed with

381
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 4: Iran right now. But Putin' scotten no love for lunatic fundamentalists.

382
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: She Muslims, and he's kind of busy, and Iran will.

383
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 4: As we we talked with Ian Bremmer last week, Iran

384
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 4: has never been this week. They'll never be weaker. There's

385
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 4: never been a better time than to do it now.

386
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 3: So I think that's one of the reasons that Israel

387
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 3: is willing to because that's a heck of a deal

388
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 3: they're willing willing to make. Right now, you're gonna give

389
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 3: us back the remaining live people in a bunch of

390
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 3: dead bodies. Few people. We're going to kill you all.

391
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 3: But I think they're making this deal because they've got

392
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 3: bigger fish to fry.

393
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 4: Well see, at least, yeah, it might buy them a

394
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 4: little bit of time to you know, reposition and reassess

395
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 4: the thing that Lord knows, I can't tell bb net

396
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 4: and Yahoo anything about this topic because he knows already

397
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 4: is that Hamas is fundamentally a fundamentalist Islamic organization, and

398
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 4: it is written enshrined in the Quran and tradition that

399
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 4: to deceive your enemies is honorable. I mean if it

400
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 4: results in Allah's victory and in further conquest, and then

401
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 4: that to be utterly dishonest and deceptive is perfectly fine.

402
00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 4: It's not like our cute Western ethics. So he and

403
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 4: I would go into this agreement saying, all right, these

404
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 4: guys are going to break every single facet of this

405
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 4: and cheat on every single facet of it the first

406
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 4: moment it becomes possible.

407
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: So it's a lovely little agreement. We'll see how it goes.

408
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 4: Well.

409
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 3: I didn't fully understand this too, I read the Woodward book.

410
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 3: Then I think it came up with somebody we were

411
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 3: talking to the other day when Iran launched all those

412
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 3: drones at Israel and then Israel had to respond. They responded,

413
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 3: and most of the reporting was okay, it was a gesture.

414
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 3: They didn't hit anybody. It was just a they had

415
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 3: to do it to save face, blah blah. They took

416
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 3: out all of Iran's most sophisticated anti aircraft weaponry that

417
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 3: Russia had given them. That's what they did, which was

418
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 3: absolutely laying the groundwork for the coming attack. I think,

419
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 3: with the help of the United States to really take

420
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 3: out that nuclear facility, Iran is defenseless right now.

421
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 4: I was just going to say, at the very least,

422
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 4: it was sending the message, all right, we just made

423
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 4: you defenseless.

424
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: Do not mess with us. Do not mess with us again.

425
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 3: How much how much of a heart ass is Trump

426
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 3: going to look like if he gets this ceasepire thing

427
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 3: between Hamas and Israel, and Israel has a successful attack

428
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 3: with our help on Irand to take out the facility,

429
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 3: that'll send a message around the world.

430
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: It absolutely will. Yeah, we'll see. You know.

431
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 4: The great disconnect between a lot of folks on the

432
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 4: MAGA side of things and just people in general is

433
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 4: they don't understand to be quote unquote militaristic, to beef

434
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 4: up your military, to project strength, to project heart assishness,

435
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 4: to quote my colleague mister Armstrong here, that prevents war,

436
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 4: that stops people from dying in war. If you are

437
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 4: so formidable and so clearly willing to.

438
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: Use your power. You don't have to. That's the point

439
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: sophists get in fights.

440
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 3: Looking up at the TVCBS News going with a redefining

441
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 3: obesity story. Now we're moving away from the BMI scale,

442
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 3: I'll have to dig into that a lot. I need

443
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 3: to scale that says better things about me. It says

444
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 3: nice with things, uses kinder words than the BMI, which

445
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 3: calls us all heavy. Well, a lot of us are heavy, right,

446
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 3: but you know, we all know the BMI thing is ridiculous.

447
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean, if you are like at the

448
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 4: beginning of the obese section of the BMI scale, i'd

449
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 4: really because you don't.

450
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: Have to be very heavy at all.

451
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 4: No, I really like to know how how seriously are

452
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 4: your health outcomes being you know, affected by your being

453
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 4: twenty pounds over your ideal weight. And I tell you what,

454
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 4: just for an example, I've been fat, I've been thin.

455
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 4: You know, when I was like in the greatest shape

456
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 4: of my adult life, when I lost all that weight.

457
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 4: I was down to one sixty eight, was seventy eight

458
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 4: something like that at five eleven, and I was just

459
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 4: in great shape and I was still overweight according to

460
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 4: the scale.

461
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'm supposed to be one seventy five

462
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 3: and I would be a stick person. I mean, people

463
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: would ask me, I be whispering behind me, is he okay?

464
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: Yes, it is cancer come back.

465
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 4: If I was one seventy five, right right, So anyway,

466
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 4: rejigger it fine, get back to me when you're when

467
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 4: you're done. I'm trying not to get I'm trying to

468
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 4: maintain a reasonable weight.

469
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm doing pretty good on the no bake goods

470
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 3: or at least no uh no donut So that my

471
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 3: my nieces came up with this standard, which is pretty

472
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 3: good because I was trying to figure out.

473
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,959
Speaker 1: Like do pancakes count as a big good? I don't know.

474
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 3: They If you could get it at a bake sale,

475
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 3: it's a bake good. If you can't, it's not was there.

476
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 3: So that's that's worked pretty well for me.

477
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like it. It's very homespun.

478
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I had pancakes there today, you wouldn't get

479
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 4: those at a bake sale. I'm not gonna go crazy

480
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 4: with pancakes like I do donuts. I'm not gonna pick

481
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 4: up pancakes on the way home and eat them in

482
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 4: my car.

483
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: Probably. Yeah, he never know though, you know it's it's

484
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: kind of an artificial dividing line. But I get it.

485
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: It works. What do you think, Katie, I think I'm

486
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: slashing it too thin.

487
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 4: I think the man that pulled a fork out of

488
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 4: his suit pocket so he could eat a pie in

489
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 4: his car might.

490
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: Get a stack of pancakes and eat it in there

491
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: as well.

492
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 2: Well.

493
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 3: I have to keep an eye on myself if I start,

494
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 3: if I start eating pancakes in my car, I have

495
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 3: my fork right here.

496
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 4: Well, it's not he has a fork on him, Folks,

497
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 4: nobody carries a fork. I give you seen Swiss army

498
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 4: lot knives that have forty seven different implements.

499
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: They don't eat well, sometimes they do. Include This is

500
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: a full.

501
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 4: Metal table fork that I keep in my jacket bucket

502
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 4: in case I find myself with a pie or something.

503
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: Yes, Michael, Yes, I'm just in disbelief. That's what. You

504
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: just waved it around yourself, proud of it.

505
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 4: I know it's odd, isn't it? As fork will travel?

506
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 4: Where were we we were talking about something important?

507
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: I believe, Oh that's right. We're on obesity, right, Okay.

508
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 3: The confirmation hearings that are going on today live If

509
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 3: anything exciting happens, I'll let you know about it. My

510
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 3: current position is, Pam Bondi is too hot to be

511
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 3: Attorney General. I just think it's I think it's off

512
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 3: putting somehow. Wow, I think you can serious mad men

513
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 3: around here. It's hard to take her seriously.

514
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 4: Also in defensive looting and an encouraging gender bending madness update.

515
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: Like that, Like that, things are going.

516
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 4: The wind is definitely blowing the right direction on that topic,

517
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 4: no doubt about it. We've got a lot more on

518
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,719
Speaker 4: the waist to hear.

519
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 6: Starbucks is rolling out a new policy that requires people

520
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 6: to buy something if they want to use the bathroom. Meanwhile,

521
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 6: at Duncan Donuts, you're free to go to the bathroom

522
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 6: while standing in line.

523
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: Wow.

524
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 6: The CEO of Duncan said, anybody can come in, but

525
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 6: you've got to punch the biggest guy in here to

526
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 6: establish yourself.

527
00:26:59,600 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: I don't.

528
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 4: I have been in a number of Dunkin locations throughout

529
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,239
Speaker 4: our beautiful nation and have not found it to be

530
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 4: excrement screwn, strewn prison like in any way.

531
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 3: Once again, Starbucks twisting themselves into knots trying to deal

532
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 3: with the street people problem without saying out loud, we're

533
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 3: changing our rules because of the street people problem. That's why, hey, city,

534
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 3: stop having drug addicts hang around everywhere coming. I wish

535
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 3: they just I wish all these businesses would just say

536
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 3: out loud while they're why they're changing their policies. Yeah,

537
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 3: I agree one percent.

538
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 4: I think Starbucks is one of the few that would

539
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 4: be vulnerable to the online fever pitch in the crowd.

540
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 4: Most companies should just ignore those people. They're few in number,

541
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 4: they're pissed off about, so that they'll be pissed off

542
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 4: about something different tomorrow. Don't worry about it, but Starbucks

543
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 4: could actually get hurt by the young woke lunatics.

544
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,239
Speaker 3: Got this text I wanted to read. My dad and

545
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 3: I have loved your show for many years. He unfortunately

546
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 3: passed away this weekend, but you always brought a smile

547
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 3: to his face right up to the end with your

548
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 3: intelligence and humor. Keep fighting the good fight, Andy from

549
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 3: the OC Orange County.

550
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 4: Well thanks, Andy, and we're sorry for your loss. Obviously.

551
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 4: That's that's very touching. Yeah wow ah, so are we ready? Michael?

552
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 4: It's a gender bending madness update, but a twist for

553
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 4: what much.

554
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: More hope than outrage this time around. Check the neck.

555
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 4: We don't need to go there. Michael's sleep at the switch.

556
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 4: Dealing with the technical problem. I apologize, audience.

557
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,959
Speaker 1: It's a gender bending madness update.

558
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 4: We're vesting that though a couple of these stories are

559
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 4: quite significant, indeed they're getting no attention because they are very,

560
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 4: very uncomfortable to the mainstream media. On Thursday, a federal

561
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 4: judge in Kentucky issued a nationwide block to the Biden

562
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 4: administration's Title nine rewrite, which made gender identity a protected

563
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 4: characteristic under the Education Amendment of the nineteen sixty four

564
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 4: Civil Rights Act, and that would have required schools and

565
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 4: colleges to give trans identifying biological men also known as men.

566
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 4: It's the only kind of man. There is, a biological man.

567
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 4: Don't bother with the term anyway. It would give trans

568
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 4: identifying men access to women's sports spaces and scholarship.

569
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: It would have been a mess. I mean, it would

570
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: have unleashed.

571
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 3: It would have been like that Grant's pass reeling ruling

572
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 3: what it did to homelessness.

573
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: If this had gone the other direction on the trains thing, just.

574
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 4: It would have been devastating, Yeah, devastating and just bizarre

575
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 4: and just completely country victory to the idea of Title nine,

576
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 4: which was we've got to protect women's sports and make

577
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 4: sure women have equal opportunities. Well they don't if dudes

578
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 4: can just say, yeah, I'm a chick now and play

579
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 4: against them anyway, the court wrote in its ruling, quote,

580
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 4: when Title nine is viewed in its entirety, it is

581
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 4: abundantly clear that discrimination on the basis of sex means

582
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 4: discrimination on the basis of being male or female. And

583
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 4: in spite of radical gender shit, stop using gendered language

584
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 4: which would have been laughed out of any sane conversation

585
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 4: eight years ago, ten years ago, but is now being

586
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 4: taught in your children's school.

587
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: You don't get to choose whether you're a male or

588
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: a female.

589
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 4: You can throw on a dress their sweetheart, but you're

590
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 4: still a dude as far as the law is concerned.

591
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 4: At least anyway, Well done to the judge in Kentucky.

592
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 4: We'll see where that goes. Also, here's a story that's

593
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 4: actually from the New York Times in some great commentary

594
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 4: from our friend Paolo. But a divided House on Tuesday

595
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 4: approved legislation that aims to bar transgender women and girls,

596
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 4: they're boys and men.

597
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: We have words for that.

598
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 4: Men and boys from participating in school athletic programs designated

599
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 4: for female students. As republic this is great. This is

600
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 4: such a Republican's pounce style sentence. As Republicans sought to

601
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 4: ring political opportunity from a social issue that helped them

602
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 4: win the twenty twenty four elections. Wow, boy, I could

603
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 4: teach a college class on that sentence. Kidding all right,

604
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 4: First of all, as Republicans sought to ring political opportunity,

605
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 4: or Republicans sought to not have dudes raping girls and

606
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 4: women in prisons, or raping in a molesting girls in

607
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 4: locker rooms, or and this is plenty making women intensely

608
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 4: uncomfortable because men have been permitted to be in their

609
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 4: locker rooms watching them dress and shower, attempting to ring

610
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 4: political opportunity.

611
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: Well, then the rest of the sentence, yes.

612
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, the rest of the sentence where they say and

613
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 3: it worked basically, So then in what way are you

614
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 3: ringing opportunity out of something that America agreed with?

615
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: Well, right, exactly.

616
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 4: They characterized it as a social issue that helped them

617
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 4: win the twenty twenty four elections.

618
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: How do you win elections.

619
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 4: In our system, New York Times, what do you have

620
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 4: to have a majority of Yeah, people who agree with you. Now, Interestingly,

621
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 4: as our friend Powloll points out, the bill, well, this

622
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 4: is still the New York Times approved. Improved, approved, almost

623
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 4: entirely along party lines on a vote of two eighteen

624
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 4: to two oh six, would prohibit federal funding from going

625
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 4: to K through twelve schools and include transgender students.

626
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: Dudes.

627
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 4: Again, we have a word for that already, it's fellas

628
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 4: on women's sports teams.

629
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: Use gendered language to address everyone.

630
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 4: It faces a steep challenge in the Senate, where seven

631
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 4: Democrats would have to join Republicans to move it past

632
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 4: to Philbuster into a final vote. Well, i'll tell you

633
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 4: what you want to talk about, Republicans pouncing or ringing

634
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 4: political opportunity when you can't get more than I'd guess

635
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 4: a handful of Democrats to say, Hey, dudes, raping women

636
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 4: in prison ain't cool. We're going to ring a hell

637
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 4: of a lot more political opportunity from that, because it's

638
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 4: blanking insane.

639
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 3: So most of those Democrats don't agree with this policy.

640
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 3: They're just scared of the the online Twitter wing of

641
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 3: the Democratic Party and how they'd come after them, which

642
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 3: is the way politics works. But when it's on the

643
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 3: Republican side, senators are only doing that because they're scared

644
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 3: of the maga world, it's somehow awful and evil and scary.

645
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 3: But when Democratic senators are voting in a certain way

646
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 3: because they're scared of you know, lefty nut job Twitter world.

647
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: It's right, it's what well.

648
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 4: Interestingly, there was a big BBC survey in Britain sent

649
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 4: to hundreds and hundreds of athletes, female athletes, that asked

650
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 4: several questions about transgenderal athletes dudes competing in women's sports,

651
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 4: and an uncomfortable majority said they felt very uncomfortable about

652
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 4: transgender athletes, but quite a few said they were very

653
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 4: hesitant to say what they thought because of fears of abuse.

654
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 4: Are being considered discriminatory. That is the extent to which

655
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 4: a very small minority of lunatics have intimidated so many

656
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 4: of us, and my gosh, I feel for the women

657
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 4: who are have been intimidated into silence. I have much

658
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 4: more on the unbelievable record. It's sickening of there are

659
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 4: something like twenty five hundred dudes in women's prisons right

660
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 4: now because they claim to be a girl.

661
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: And the rape and the.

662
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 4: Pregnancies and sexually assault, the sexual assaults are rampant.

663
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: But we don't have time. That's the end of your

664
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: gender bending madness. Update. What were we going to do?

665
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: An hour three? You had something good. We're putting off.

666
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 4: Number one LA area residents who are defying the evacuation

667
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 4: band to guard their homes, sometimes at gunpoint, and also

668
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 4: in defense of gouging.

669
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 3: All right, yeah, yeah, If you haven't heard this argument,

670
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 3: it will change your view on this topic.

671
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: Perhaps, did you miss a good podcast Armstrong and Getty
