Speaker 2: he Armstrong and Getty Helio.

5
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: Welcome, last live week of The Armstrong and Getty Show.

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: Before we take obviously a much deserved.

7
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 2: Break because it is so taxing to do this job.

8
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: I'm near the snapping points pass for myself.

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: So a couple of news stories we're gonna update you

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: on soon. They do have Rob Reiner's kid in custody. Yeah,

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,639
Speaker 1: so that's what a lot of people were suspecting. We'll

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: get to that a little bit later. They have strict

13
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: grun rules in Australia, but somebody with terrorist ties who

14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: the police were aware of, is able to get what

15
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: six firearms legally?

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: What is going on there? Talk about that story.

17
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 3: I don't think the story is primarily about guns are

18
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: going control. But if you've got that system well and

19
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 3: it doesn't get them.

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: A tear plot in Los Angeles that was planned for

21
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve has been broken up.

22
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: Four people have been arrested.

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: Definitely have to talk about that, and I can't wait

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: to see who was behind it. But so what was

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: I remember, we came up with this quite a few

26
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: years ago, Joe and I did.

27
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 3: One.

28
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: We thought we had the sort of audience that was

29
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: giving so we could raise money for good causes. And

30
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: I think it was just sort of a like this

31
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: time of year, you know, you're throwing money around on

32
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: all kinds of different things. How about, just from my

33
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: own personal standpoint, how about I throw a little money

34
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: towards something good this time of year.

35
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: I think you know lots of people do that, oh right,

36
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: And we wanted to advocate for the things we hold

37
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: most dear. And it turns out it just coincided quite

38
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: beautifully with the.

39
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: Y'all's yeah yeah, and a number of organizations through the

40
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: years where we've raised a lot of money. This year,

41
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: we're going to try to raise a lot of money

42
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: for the Scouts. And the reason for that is you've

43
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: heard me talk about this a lot. My youngest joined

44
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: the Boy Scouts I think last March, and it's been

45
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: the best thing that's ever happened to him. And then

46
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: just being around Scouting, I have become aware of things

47
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: that I didn't know. I was a Boy Scout for

48
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: a couple of years. Many many many many years ago,

49
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: because I'm quite old, but watching Scouts and realizing how

50
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: much more there is to it than learning about notts

51
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: and putting up a tent and all that sort of

52
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: stuff and hiking and they do all that stuff and

53
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: it's really really cool. But learning about values and leadership

54
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: and teamwork and all these different things and seeing it

55
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: up clothes. I've been so amazed and finding out that

56
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: it costs a little bit to get into scouting and

57
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: do a lot of things you want to do. And

58
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: maybe we could raise some money some more people could

59
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: get it involved in Scouting. And we'd like to welcome

60
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: into the studio today our guest, Paul Hellman. Paul is

61
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: a noted member of Scouting America with over fifty years

62
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: of volunteers service to Scouting. Paul, You've been in almost

63
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: every role in Scouting, from a unit leader to a

64
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: unit commissioner to now you've been a council president at

65
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: various times. Now you're on the executive committee and board

66
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: of directors for a council. Paul, welcome into the Armstrong

67
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: and Getty Show.

68
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 2: Thank you. What what What'd be the number one thing

69
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: you would say?

70
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 4: Scouting's trying to do create leaders for tomorrow, Create leaders

71
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 4: for tomorrow, leaders for tomorrow. Who's going to be our

72
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 4: elected officials in twenty years from now. That's what we're creating.

73
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: It is amazing how many times I hear people running

74
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: for office who say they were an eagle scout or

75
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: in scouting or whatever. That does come up a lot.

76
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: But here's here's what I found out and noticed that

77
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: I didn't know before on how the adults just kind

78
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: of stand back and watch because the kids are in charge.

79
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: And he got like the fifteen year olds who've been

80
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: around for a while helping direct the you know, the

81
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: younger kids, and then the younger kids grow into that

82
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: and everything like that. Just the self sustained model that

83
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: you've got. And then these kids, and I said this

84
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: on the air after the first Scouting thing I did,

85
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: these kids don't act like other kids I've seen. They

86
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: seem like they're in their twenties. A lot of these

87
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: fifteen year olds.

88
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 2: How does scouting do that?

89
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 4: Excellent observation that you've made there. What we are really

90
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: creating here in Scouting America is a laboratory of learning.

91
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 4: You learn from the process, you learn from being experiencing

92
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 4: the model that we're trying to create, which is, let's

93
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 4: create an environment with which you need to make decisions

94
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 4: and you have to take care of others. And it's

95
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 4: a boy lead process of our scout led process. Excuse me,

96
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 4: boy or girl ed. And so you'll have a twelve

97
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 4: year old that becomes the patrol leader in a scout troop.

98
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 4: That patrol leader that is responsible for the activities that

99
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 4: the youth and his patrol will do on a camp out,

100
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 4: for instance, thirty two hours or more. What are we

101
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 4: going to do? How are we going to prepare our food?

102
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 4: So that leader, that twelve years leader will then help

103
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 4: the other scouts make decisions, also do their rank advancements

104
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 4: and learn some very basic things. What's the process about

105
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 4: where do we set up our tent? Not only how

106
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 4: do you set it up, but where do you set

107
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 4: it up? How do you make sure it's in a

108
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 4: safe position. Also, someday you should sit to a patrol

109
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 4: leader council meeting. That's when the youth get together and

110
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 4: they decide their program. What are we going to do

111
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 4: for the next two or three months during our meeting.

112
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, my son just had that meeting recently. No, I

113
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: did not sit in and watch it, but that sounds

114
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: really really interesting. And they vote themselves on what they're

115
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: going to do in the coming year and what they'll

116
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: need yes and all that sort of stuff.

117
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe.

118
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: You know, it strikes me, Paul, that there's an old

119
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 3: saying you never learned so much as when you're teaching,

120
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: and you're never as much of a servant as when

121
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 3: you're leading, because you realize, oh, this isn't about me,

122
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 3: this is about everybody but me. That's why I'm leading.

123
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 3: I mean, my gods, you learned so much about human

124
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 3: beings in a.

125
00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: Role like that.

126
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 4: Absolutely to the leadership model that we try to use.

127
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 4: It's called servant leadership, something that was created by Robert

128
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 4: Greenleaf what twenty five thirty years ago, and that's the

129
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 4: model that we portray and convey over to our adults,

130
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 4: who then translate that to the youth. In the youth

131
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 4: training also uses the model and what we call National

132
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 4: Youth Leadership Training, and YLT is where the youth go

133
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 4: and learn the techniques and leadership. The adults do the

134
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 4: same thing when they go to Woodbadge Wood Badge training

135
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 4: usually corporate leadership training in a wonderful environment in a

136
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 4: Scout camp.

137
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: Location.

138
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: But like I said, my experience has been you want

139
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: to talk about teenagers who look you in the eye

140
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: and give you a firm handshake and refer to you

141
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: as mister, and all that sort of stuff that you.

142
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 4: Don't see that much in modern America. Man, it is

143
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 4: around Scouting. I'll tell you that it's true. You think

144
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 4: about the values we have in Scouting. Scout Oath and

145
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 4: Scout Law teaches you to have respect for all that

146
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 4: you're around and the environment, your fellow Scouts.

147
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: And everyone in the community.

148
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: My son got elected whatever the first step is patrol

149
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: leader for his little group recently, and he's taking it

150
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: so seriously, and I'm so proud of him and just

151
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: amazed by that he feels the responsibility of showing up

152
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: to the extra meeting and being there and doing the

153
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: things he's supposed to do.

154
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: It's absolutely credible. Yeah.

155
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 4: One of the things we do in Scout in America,

156
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 4: and I think we do this extremely well, is providing

157
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 4: those environments for twelve year olds to then be responsible

158
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 4: for other youth, other human beings, making phone calls, doing

159
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 4: whatever they need to do and you're going to bring

160
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 4: the right.

161
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: Who's going to bring to food.

162
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 4: The entire structure in the organization of their outings are

163
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 4: going to be basically managed by the patroller, who might

164
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 4: be twelve years old. See what other things I like

165
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 4: to tell people is what we teach at Boy Scouts

166
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 4: of America is exactly what you learn.

167
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: When you go get an MBA. So take your pick.

168
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 4: You're going to be in Scouts to that you're eighteen

169
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 4: years old, or you're going to go to someplace and

170
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 4: learn the same techniques and you're twenty four, you're going

171
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 4: to learn the same things and Scouting that you would

172
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 4: need a higher education.

173
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: And Joe and I have talked about this a lot

174
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: over the years.

175
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: Joe was bringing it up just a couple of weeks

176
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: ago on how whenever you hear these stories about like

177
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: inner city schools that were struggling and they turn it around,

178
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: it's always because some hard ass principle or something like

179
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: that demanded more out of the kids. And when they

180
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: demand more out of the kids, the kids rise to

181
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,239
Speaker 1: the occasion. And that's what I've seen just being around

182
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: Scouts like this, Like my son, I know what my

183
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: son is like and like a couple of weeks ago,

184
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: he was headed to his first meeting where he's now,

185
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: you know, in charge of his little group of guys.

186
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: Everything like that, we got to be there on time.

187
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: You know, I have responsibilities now and just that he

188
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: never talked like that before. People rise to your.

189
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 3: Expectations, especially kids over It's one of the great lessons

190
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: I think we've forgotten in America.

191
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: Paul. I'm sure you've seen that a million times. And

192
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: I have a tenacity that's a sort of grit.

193
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 4: The two things that sometimes we talk about is what

194
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 4: we teach in SCOUTI you got a I don't know,

195
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 4: thirty thirty five forty pound pack on your back. We

196
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 4: got to get some before you can set up camp,

197
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 4: and you got to get there. You got to get

198
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 4: there somehow. You just learn how to just make it

199
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 4: happen and lead your scouts so that you show up

200
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 4: and can set up your camp. One of the greatest

201
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 4: adventures that we do in Scouted in America our summertime,

202
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 4: the fifty mile hikes or going to Filmont or some

203
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 4: of the other high adventure camps that we have where

204
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 4: you do these tricks.

205
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: As I said, I've seen I've seen sixteen year olds

206
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: that are so much more impressive than so many thirty

207
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: year olds I know in terms of just being adults

208
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: that look like they can.

209
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: Take on life. It's absolutely impressive. So here's the deal.

210
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: Let's get to where the rubber meets the road, because

211
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: we're trying to raise money this week. I would love

212
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: it if every because the boys and girls, but every

213
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: kid out there, had the opportunity to be in scouting.

214
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: But it costs something to be in scouting, and not

215
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: everybody can afford it. What's it cost just generally, do

216
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: you have any idea across America what it costs to

217
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: get involved in scouting for a family.

218
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 4: Well, you have your or so its pences, which would

219
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 4: be the uniform one hundred hundred and fifty dollars totally

220
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 4: when you get downe the equipment that you need to

221
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 4: go camping. There's also the support for the local councils

222
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 4: and the administration of the Scouting program in your area,

223
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 4: which is generally going to be about another eighty five

224
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 4: to one hundred dollars a year. So I would tell

225
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 4: you it's a couple hundred dollars a year to be

226
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 4: involved in scouting.

227
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is enough to keep a lot of people

228
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: from doing it.

229
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 3: Oh and given the unbelievable effect it can have on

230
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: their young lives. I mean, that's just it's tragic that

231
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 3: any kid would not be involved in scouting. For questions

232
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 3: of costs.

233
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, so if we can cover here today, if we

234
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: can cover that cost by raising some money, go to

235
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: Armstrong in getty dot com. We've got to donate now

236
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: on there, and we'll see how much money we can

237
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: raise this week, and then a whole bunch of people

238
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: can get exposed to scouting. And you know, I guess

239
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: COVID is really hard on scouting.

240
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, COVID causes us the inability to meet as a group,

241
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 4: and so some of our units to stop meeting and

242
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 4: no longer are in existence because of that. And so

243
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 4: we're working hard. And this is where the funds that

244
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 4: were going to gain a help us, because now we

245
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 4: could get professionals in the field to rebuild those units

246
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 4: to go to the sponsoring institutions. Hey, we need to

247
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 4: recreate pack act pack Y and then be able to

248
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 4: provide scouting for the congregations.

249
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 3: Hey, Paul, we've just got like thirty more seconds. But

250
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 3: can you speak quickly to Scouting and patriotism? Is that

251
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 3: still a fundamental part.

252
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 2: Of what you do? Absolutely is what we party. We

253
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: have the American flag on our uniform.

254
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 4: We recite the Pledge of Allegiance before every single meeting,

255
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 4: we salute the flag, and we're one of the few

256
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 4: organizations in the United States is allowed to retire American flags.

257
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 4: We have a very respectful ceremony that we go through

258
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 4: when we retire the flags and.

259
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 2: Burn them and bury them as they need to be.

260
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 2: I see that every week.

261
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: What do you call the thing when they bring out

262
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: the people and they take the flags down and stuff

263
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: like that.

264
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 2: Flag ceremony. Yeah, the flags are many.

265
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: I see that every week, and it's so cool and

266
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: having you know, seeing these kids do it and take

267
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: it so serious, lee and quietly and everything like that.

268
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: It's just awesome.

269
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 4: They standard attention and salute. They very much take it

270
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 4: very seriously.

Speaker 2: We just started.

307
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: I realized we got to get that number up, so

308
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: please do that. We're gonna catch up on some of

309
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: the news stories we mentioned coming up right after this here.

310
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 3: Strong.

311
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: So we got to put a minimum on donating money

312
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: to the Scouts for you getting mentioned for your funny name,

313
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: because that we've had that happen in the past.

314
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: We love it when people with funny names donate.

315
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: But for instance, a donation from a succulent Chinese meal,

316
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: it was all only five bucks, so you just wanted

317
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: the joke right, right right.

318
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 2: And appreciate it. Appreciate it.

319
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 3: Five bucks ain't nothing, right, but it's close to enough.

320
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 3: Since inflation it is pretty damn and close to nothing. Yeah, yeah,

321
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: I lose a five dollar bill. I'll never think of

322
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 3: it again anyway. So, yeah, what twenty five dollars minimum

323
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 3: to have your funny name mentioned?

324
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, because if everybody gave twenty five dollars, we'd

325
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: reach our goal today.

326
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, you know, I I absolutely.

327
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 3: Love talking to Paul about an organization that is so

328
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 3: great supporting traditional American values in the way we're discussing.

329
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: Then you have a bunch of allegiance for crying out loud,

330
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 3: And then you have this young woman who goes by

331
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 3: the name of gluten Free girlfriend on social media, oh boy,

332
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 3: who is sharing tips to her TikTok and substack subscribers

333
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 3: on the ways she is decolonizing Christmas.

334
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: Well, I bet you're a long day.

335
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 3: I'd like to take my law just wow, I'm a man,

336
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 3: holy and like a nice warm fire and explain to

337
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: her how she's been misguided unique threats in she showered

338
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 3: different recipes to her social media accounts that were gluten

339
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 3: free because wheat, barley, and rye are not native to

340
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 3: the Americas.

341
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 2: All right, a decolonized Christmas.

342
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 3: The perfect Christmas cookie is griddle massa made from a

343
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: form of corn flour mixed with lime or culinary ash. Hmmm,

344
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 3: sounds delicious and quote, it's nutrients become more bioavailable and

345
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 3: it becomes more tender.

346
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: What's just chick?

347
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: Look like I'm curious exactly like you think she does, Katie,

348
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: Can you describe her for me as you can say exactly? Yeah, yeah,

349
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: decolonize your Christmas?

350
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: And is twenty something white girl hottie? Of course? Yeah?

351
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: And is she serious? Is she just trying to get clicks?

352
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: Because I know people that are pretty close to series

353
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: about that sort of thing.

354
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah she is. She's said.

355
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 3: A colonize Christmas takes shape in many ways, including the

356
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 3: gifts which she is purchasing from native owned businesses. The

357
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 3: shop list includes indigenous, Hispanic and woman owned tea businesses.

358
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, Wait a minute.

359
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 3: Hispanic, which literally means from the Spanish. So the Spanish

360
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 3: conquistadors are not colonizers in your mind, you dip ass,

361
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 3: even though they quite literally colonized millions and hundreds of

362
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 3: thousands of square miles.

363
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 2: Well, you can't look for consistency out of these people.

364
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 3: Do you think the Native Peruvians just decided Spanish was

365
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 3: a pretty language. The Mexicans, Guatemalans, and they thought they

366
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 3: would say, or were they forced its spear point.

367
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: Ninny, what's she look like, Katie? Well, i'm looking at

368
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 2: her social she's she's cute. But I will say she's

369
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: got those crazy eyes. She's got them real to her eyes. Yeah,

370
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: she got them with a dash of like I'm going

371
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 2: to kill you behind them. Yes, not hinged.

372
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:20,239
Speaker 5: Uh.

373
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: I'm not going to decolonize my Christmas. I'm going to

374
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: keep it exactly the same as it has been since.

375
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that means.

376
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 3: Well, and go back three hundred years and explain to

377
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 3: the native people's that you're going to decolonize Christmas, and

378
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 3: they'll see, you're going to decolonize what now? So you're

379
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 3: returning Christmas to its Native American roots? Sweetheart, you are

380
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 3: America's greatest comedian. Now, I believe we set a standard.

381
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 3: You have to not date at least twenty five dollars

382
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 3: to get your funny name mentioned. Although we didn't just

383
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 3: get ten dollars from the guy who sneezed in Joe's backswing.

384
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: Wow, but that's you violated our rules. It's going to

385
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 2: be twenty five of the law.

386
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: From now on, nobody gets mentioned in the leasi donate

387
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: unless you donate at least twenty five dollars to the

388
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: Scouts to help more people get involved in scouting that

389
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: might not otherwise be able to afford. They got a

390
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: suspect in the stabbing of Rob Reiner.

391
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty.

392
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 6: The initial coll came in yesterday afternoon. LAFD and the

393
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 6: LAPD responding found those two people dead, but police so

394
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 6: far remaining very tight lipped about their investigation and saying

395
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 6: nothing about a potential suspect.

396
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that was yesterday. They do have their suspect

397
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: and probably the person who did it. Nick Reiner, thirty

398
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: two year old son of Rob Reiner, taken into custody

399
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: held on four million dollars bail, so as was immediately

400
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: suspected by people who knew the family situation. Their often

401
00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: homeless drug addicts struggled his whole life. Son looks like

402
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: came into the house and slit the throats of his

403
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: mom and dad. That's pretty rough.

404
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the particulars of it almost don't matter. No, no,

405
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 2: they don't.

406
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just awful. So this is kind of interesting.

407
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: I'd heard reference to this, but I hadn't seen it.

408
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: So after the news broke that movie star director actor

409
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: Rob Reiner and his wife had been stabbed to death,

410
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: and then I saw headlines where it is being looked

411
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: at as a homicide. Yeah, you don't usually have a

412
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: murder suicide with stabbings, and then the term passed away

413
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: or have died. Okay, well that's accurate, but kind of

414
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: leaves out a lot if you say that. I would

415
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: say anyway, Donald J. Trump, he's the president of the

416
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: United States. True this out as soon as the news

417
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: broke yesterday. A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood.

418
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: I guess he saw it. This morning was after midnight.

419
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: Rob Reiner a torture.

420
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 2: Listen to this.

421
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: This is after a guy is stabbed to death in

422
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: his own home. Rob Reiner a tortured and struggling but

423
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: once very talented movie director and comedy star. I don't

424
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: know that he was tortured and struggling. I don't think

425
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: he would have described himself that way. Recent interviews publishing

426
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: or pushing the new spinal Tap movie. He seemed untortured.

427
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 2: No.

428
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: I hated Rob Reiner's politics too, and I wish he

429
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: had to shut up about it. But to say he

430
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: was not successful, or that he was struggling or whatever. Anyway,

431
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling but once very talented

432
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: movie director in comedy star, has passed away together with

433
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: his wife.

434
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 2: Passed away. Got stabbed to death reportedly.

435
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: This is what he actually truthed out as the president,

436
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive,

437
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: unyielding and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known

438
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: as Trump derangement syndrome sometimes referred to as TS.

439
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 3: So that hinted that somebody took him out because of

440
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 3: his being anti Trump. Knit in a hand, he stated

441
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 3: it reportedly due to the anger he caused others through

442
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 3: his Trump Derangement syndrome.

443
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 2: So that's why he died.

444
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: It got stabbed to death because he you know, because

445
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: he hated me so much, had nothing to do with

446
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: it whatsoever.

447
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 2: Sorry, folks, that's unhinged. That's an odd thing to do.

448
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 2: That's an odd thing to do. Then he ends.

449
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: May Robin Michelle, rest in peace. That's an odd thing

450
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: to do, even though rest in peace. Even though I

451
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: just blamed you for your own death because you criticized me.

452
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: You caused somebody to stab you to death. That's what

453
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: an amazing thing to do. Wow, Okay, as I opened

454
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: the show with, that's among the more stories today, the

455
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 1: whole Rob Ryner and his wife stabbed to death. It's

456
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: not as interesting now that we know it's the sun.

457
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: I mean, we got it solved, and it's just a horrible,

458
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: horrible story there. But for the grace of God go

459
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: any of us and their kids going off the rails.

460
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: But it's not of any significance to anybody, you know.

461
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: And then you got the Brown University thing. It's interesting

462
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: that the shooter is on the loose after a mass

463
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: shooting there at the university campus over the weekend, but

464
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: it's not gonna end up being of any significance probably

465
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: to anybody.

466
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 3: Now, just one more of the tiring, exhausting, horrible, angry

467
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 3: loser decides other people should hurt too.

468
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 2: Variety of attacks here, which is certainly its own major

469
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 2: social problem, no doubt.

470
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but the one in Australia where you got

471
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: a couple of guys who it appears, pledge their allegiance

472
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 1: to ISIS before they for ten minutes, How did they

473
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: do this for ten minutes?

474
00:22:58,960 --> 00:22:59,959
Speaker 2: For ten minutes.

475
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: They were up on a rooftop shooting Jews at a

476
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: big gathering in Australia and killed a whole bunch of

477
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: people and wounded a.

478
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 2: Whole bunch of people. Just horrific, horrific. Father son, father son,

479
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 2: dad's dad, kids in custody.

480
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 3: Kid had come to the attention to the authorities a

481
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 3: couple of years back for his associations, but they decided

482
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 3: that there was no real risk of him committing an

483
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 3: act of violence.

484
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: They were wrong. The Intefada was globalized to Sydney that day.

485
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: My friend, do you understand that globalize the Intifada?

486
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 2: That's what it is.

487
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: It's those two guys shooting Jews clear of their in Australia,

488
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,959
Speaker 1: a long way away from Gaza. That's globalized the Intifada.

489
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: That kids are chanting on campuses and in parades and

490
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: everybody's acting like that's okay.

491
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And people are quite rightfully looking at Australia

492
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 3: and Australia is just so European. Oh we're doing it

493
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 3: some two in this country. It would cause even more

494
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 3: conflict by calling out what this actually is. So they've

495
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 3: danced around anti semitism, called it marginal It's an important pathology.

496
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 3: These incidents are unrelated, but Jewish Australians have reported a

497
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 3: sharp rise in harassment, intimidation, vandalism, threats at schools, universities,

498
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 3: workplaces and public spaces. Anti Semitic Greek graffiti had already

499
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 3: appeared in this part of Sydney in the weeks before

500
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 3: the attack.

501
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 2: The violence did not emerge from nowhere.

502
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 3: It was the most extreme expression of a wound to

503
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 3: the body politic that has been allowed to fester, writes

504
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 3: Peter Kirti.

505
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, like I said, this story has huge global significance.

506
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: This might be what we're dealing with as a planet

507
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: for quite some time.

508
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

509
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 3: Speaking of which, So Columbia University just came out with

510
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 3: the fourth section or whatever it is, of their report

511
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 3: on an Thai Semitism at Columbia in the wake of

512
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 3: a couple of horrifying incidents which we reported on at

513
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 3: the time. Violence against students, takeovers of classrooms, takeovers of

514
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 3: the library.

515
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 2: You had an infamous incident where.

516
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 3: Staff members were at a meeting and were texting each

517
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 3: other making fun of Jews, the rest of it. So

518
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 3: the fourth and you know, kudos whoever was involved in

519
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 3: this at Columbia. This is pretty strong stuff that they

520
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 3: went ahead and included in the report, Brace Yourselves. It

521
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 3: paints a disturbing picture of life as a Jewish student

522
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 3: at the Ivy League institution. Here are some of the examples.

523
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 3: The report recounts a number of disturbing incidents in the classroom.

524
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 3: Some of the incidents, like the January storming of Israeli

525
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 3: history classes by cafia clad students who distributed pro Hamas

526
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 3: leaflets and harassed Jews, were publicized when they happened.

527
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 2: Other were unknown until the report's release. This section, entitled.

528
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 3: Scapegoating Jewish and Israeli students for their ties to Israel

529
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 3: detail scores of incidents.

530
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 2: A score is twenty friends, so it's.

531
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 3: Dozens and dozens and dozens of incidents in which I'm quoting.

532
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 3: Colombia instructors singled out Jewish and Israeli students for personal

533
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 3: scapegoating because of their real or perceived ties to Israel,

534
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 3: which by the way, violates federal law. One Israeli student

535
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 3: was told you must know a lot about settler colonialism.

536
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: How do you feel about that? This is by an instructor.

537
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 3: Another was called an occupier A third was told that

538
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 3: because she served in Israel's army of murderers, she should

539
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 3: be considered as one of those murderers.

540
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 2: That's by her teacher.

541
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 3: One Jewish student was told by an instructor quote, it's

542
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 3: a shame that your people survived in order to commit

543
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 3: mass genocide.

544
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 2: It's impossible to imagine that this actually happened.

545
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh, and again there are scores of examples

546
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 3: just from Colombia just in the last year or so,

547
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 3: year or.

548
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 2: Two, so that you know, we can probably talk about

549
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 2: that all day long.

550
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 3: But so that leads to this headlines stry one more note,

551
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 3: every class, every section of the university was infected by

552
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 3: this as the teachers, the woke teachers, with their intersectional training,

553
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 3: their neo Marxist training, tried to incorporate it into everything.

554
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 3: And they had a unit in an introductory astronomy class

555
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 3: including astronomy in Palestine. Writing on the class of syllabus.

556
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 3: As we watched the Jennifer Aside Unfoldinggaza dot dot dot Well.

557
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, the FBI announced in the last hour

558
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: that they stopped a planned New Year's Eve Los Angeles

559
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 1: terror attack by a pro Palestinian cell. Quite the theme

560
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,479
Speaker 1: we've got going all weekend long here.

561
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: Pro Palestinian, which is a euphemism for radical.

562
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: Islamic FBI arresting, arresting, So I mean they you know,

563
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: this isn't just suspicion. They were actually arrested five members

564
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: of a pro Palestinian extremist group accused of planning attacks

565
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles.

566
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 2: Their plan was to.

567
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: Uh unleash a massive and horrific terror plot in LA

568
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: that would include bombings and multiple targets beginning New Year's Eve.

569
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: So that's fantastic, and I'm sure we'll get more details

570
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: throughout the day on that the Law of Press conference

571
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: at some point and tell us what they found out.

572
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: So between that report out of Columbia, what happened in

573
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: Australia over the weekend, this terror plot, Yeah, that's a

574
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: much more significant story than Rob Reiner being.

575
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 2: Stabbed right to the wine.

576
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

577
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: Troubling god, I would say, So that's one of these

578
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: I actually said to Joe earlier off the year, I said,

579
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: I'm glad this is a week we're raising money for

580
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: something good because this there's a lot of bad news

581
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: and I'm kind of tired of it. So we put

582
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: a limit, a minimum. If you're going to donate money

583
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: to scouting, and we'll you with the total here in

584
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: just a second. And you want to have a funny name,

585
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: you got to donate at least twenty five bucks. For instance,

586
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: twenty five bucks came from Gavin's handgame. That's people who

587
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: have been talking about Gavin Newsoman is the way he

588
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: uses his hands too.

589
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, Gavin's hand run in constant gesturing yes.

590
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 3: Twenty five dollars from Jack's next wife, ooh wow, thank

591
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 3: you dear. Fifty bucks from Prune runs.

592
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 2: I oh wow, I like that one.

593
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 3: Surely that that refers to going to the store quickly

594
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 3: to get some Prince.

595
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, not sure that's exactly right. I'm not you know,

596
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: when we come back, because we're getting close to a

597
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: very good round number. When we come back, maybe we'll

598
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: hit our first total of the week as we try

599
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: to raise money for Scouting and uh, and we're already

600
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: off to a good start.

601
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 3: Specifically, it's it's scholarships to make sure kids who want

602
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 3: to get into scouting can because it has such amazing

603
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 3: effects on their lives.

604
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'll be talking more throughout the week.

605
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: About things I've seen from my kid being in scout

606
00:29:58,600 --> 00:29:59,959
Speaker 1: scouting and how impressed I am.

607
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 2: We have more news of the day to get to.

608
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: I hope you can stick around. Oh, any Christmas movies

609
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 2: the years watched?

610
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 5: Yes, we used to always watch Home Alone and as

611
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 5: a Latino kid, that movie was unbelievable because this kid

612
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,479
Speaker 5: misses the plane, destroys the house, and ruins the vacation

613
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 5: and somehow this movie doesn't end in a.

614
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 2: Historic ass beating.

615
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 5: In the first scene, the mom is like, go to

616
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 5: your room, Kevin, and he goes, shut up, Mom, and

617
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 5: I'm like, if that was me, That's where the movie ends.

618
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: All the credits in memory of Marcelo. That is a

619
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 2: decent point.

620
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,719
Speaker 1: Marcello Hernan is, by the way, one of the more

621
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: hilarious people they've ever had on Saturday Night Live in

622
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: my opinion.

623
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 2: But it's very funny. He destroyed the house, he did

624
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 2: all these different things. You told mom to shut up,

625
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 2: and it just doesn't end with a historic gas beating.

626
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 2: That's pretty funny. Weft as a parenting of today.

627
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: Thirty years ago exactly that did that movie come out

628
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety one. I think I think it's thirty

629
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: three years old. I think I read last night. AnyWho

630
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: I watched We watched a show that was sixty years old.

631
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: It was made the same here.

632
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 2: I was born.

633
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: A Charlie Brown Christmas last night kind of just accidentally,

634
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: like I was, just Henry was Henry. Henry took charge

635
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: of the Christmas cookies and he did He did everything,

636
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: absolutely the whole thing, making the cookies, mix them all up,

637
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: made them from scratch, including the frosting, and they were good.

638
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: But when we were finishing them all off, he said,

639
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: let's put on a Christmas movie. I was on to

640
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: put on something short on a school night, and so

641
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: I just went to Apple TV and right there was

642
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: a Charlie Brown Christmas and I thought, Okay, that's kind

643
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: of cool. Watched it, watched it for the I don't know,

644
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: it's been on sixty years of my life. I've probably

645
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: seen it fifty seven times. Probably. It is really quite

646
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: the amazing art if you haven't seen it in a while.

647
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: I read a lot about it last night. It almost

648
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: didn't get on the air in nineteen sixty five because

649
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: they thought it was too religious.

650
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, hated it.

651
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: It's also weird at that period of time, all sitcoms

652
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: had laugh tracks. As we all remember, laugh tracks were

653
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: ubiquitous up until what early two thousands and and something

654
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,479
Speaker 1: that's a comedy without a laugh track stood out then

655
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: as now.

656
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 2: I mean, there are like various kind of jokes and then.

657
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: It's just dead silent for like five seconds and they

658
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: all just look at each other as cartoon characters, you know.

659
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: And the animation is so everything that is Charlie Brown

660
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: and the voiceover by the kids who were not trained actors,

661
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: and they look like they're just going through the sound,

662
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: like they're just going through the motions. Kind of adds

663
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: to the art somehow. It's it's a very unique piece

664
00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: of world, know.

665
00:32:59,240 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 5: What you mean.

666
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: I don't know what.

667
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: Do you think we should do now? I mean, there's

668
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: no acting involved whatsoever. But it kind of adds to

669
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: it since the theme of it is the on wei

670
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: Charlie Brown's feeling around Christmas, and he's kind of sad

671
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: and doesn't understand what the point is and he hates

672
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: the commercialization of it all. And and but the main

673
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: thing that sticks out to me is my kids, who

674
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: I have trouble getting to watch anything that's more than

675
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: ten years old. Just because the pacing is too slow

676
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: for them. They both willingly because I was observing them

677
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: without you know, me making them, sat there and watched

678
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: the whole bang thing. There was something about the layout

679
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: of that story and the art of it that is

680
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: compelling still today, sixty years later.

681
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 2: I found, I don't know, that's that's quite an accomplishment.

682
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 3: You know. Your observation about the lack of acting and

683
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 3: how that actually improves it in a way is super intriguing.

684
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 3: I you know, I thinking back to watching it many

685
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 3: many times, it's as if it strips away the artifice

686
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 3: and just gives you the ideas.

687
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and interesting. Yeah.

688
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: And I also think it's interesting that in nineteen sixty five,

689
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: sixty years ago, they felt like Christmas had gotten too commercial.

690
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: And then there's the part about, oh, Charlie Brown gone.

691
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: I know, in nineteen sixty five they thought Christmas was

692
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: too commercial. And then Charlie Brown going to get a tree,

693
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: and he's surrounded by all these metal trees because I

694
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: guess artificial trees had just become a thing. I know,

695
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: my parents have a picture of their first tree. It

696
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 1: was artificial.

697
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 3: Because it was the sixties, everything was groovy, groovy colors

698
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 3: and groovy metallic finish and everything.

699
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was so wild that Charlie Brown picked

700
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: out a real tree, even though it was this pathetic

701
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: tree sixty years ago. That is a pretty religious show.

702
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: I mean, he's reading from I'd forget which of the

703
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: Gospels he's reading from. Linus is there at the end,

704
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: but I mean it's It's Mark.

705
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 2: I could be wrong. I've got a twenty five percent chance.

706
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 2: Nice job. It's a serious Bible sort of thing. It

707
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 2: still airs. Oh yeah, yeah, I think it's fantastic. I

708
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: haven't watched it in years. I should.

709
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 3: By contrast, Judy suggested, Katie, you'll be pleased with this

710
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 3: over the weekend that we watch your favorite holiday movie,

711
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 3: Bad Santa Yeh, which is arguably a holiday movie, but

712
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 3: inarguably unbelievably dark and mean and nasty. It's you know,

713
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 3: you got a horrifying character who you know is going

714
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 3: to get redeemed at some point, scrooge like, right, And

715
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 3: so you sit to about forty minutes, a horror, here

716
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 3: comes the redemp. No, ten more minutes, a horror here

717
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 3: it comes. Surely he will be No, let's pile on

718
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 3: a little more misery and it's just and finally at

719
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 3: the end he kind of sort of comes around somewhat.

720
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 2: But man, is that irreverent? Now in all of your descriptions,

721
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 2: you've never word hilarious. Oh, it is frequently very very funny. Yeah,

722
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 2: that reminds me. We paired the.

723
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,720
Speaker 1: Very earnest Charlie Brown Christmas with one of the Family

724
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: Guy Christmas episodes that we really really love where Stewie

725
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: plays the baby Jesus and Peter gets drunk and gives

726
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: away all the presents. That's a damn funny episode. Another

727
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 1: great recommendation for the family.

728
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 2: We got more to come.
