1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, arm Strong and Getty,

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: and he Armstrong and Yetty. So I guess the thing

4
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: we're all gonna have to determine here after we hear

5
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: from this young gentleman is uh. I guess he would

6
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: call himself a young woman because he at some point

7
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: states he's trans all the way he looks just like

8
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: a dude, like a regular dude, like he's not making

9
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: any effort to look like a woman, but he says

10
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: he's a trans woman anyway, hear a dude, dude?

11
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 2: Uh?

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: Is he crazy? Is he stupid? Is he ignorant? Because

13
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: those are all three different things? Or is he a

14
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: mixture of all three or whatever? But so there's this guy.

15
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 3: Almost you almost need like the little scales like he's

16
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: a video game character.

17
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: You know, his speed rating is six, out rating is

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: aid maneuverability's only a three. So you got to have

19
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: the crazy meter, the stupid meter, and the ignorant meter.

20
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: You mentioned video games. I want to get this joke

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: on because I heard this. This is a meme. My

22
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: son said, I thought this was funny yesterday the idea

23
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: that you know, the world is just a video game,

24
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: Life is just a video game or a simulation or whatever.

25
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: You hear that now and then life is just a

26
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: video game. And the rating on a life being a

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: video game is the animation is amazing, but the storyline

28
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: and characters suck. I would agree, Wow, that's good. So

29
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: this guy Nate Friedman, maybe you've seen him on the YouTube.

30
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: He shows up at various things and sticks microphone in

31
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: people's faces and ask some questions in a very friendly way,

32
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: and they beclown themselves. And you know, it's like the

33
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: libs of TikTok thing. It's just the people on the

38
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: he's doing. And an interesting thing during this interview. I

39
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: don't know if we have it in the clips, but people,

40
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: a couple of people came up to Nate while he

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: was interviewing this guy. This woman who kept saying, hey,

42
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: don't talk to him, he's a Zionist. He's on YouTube

43
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: all the time. Like I don't I don't know what

44
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: that means. But this is the giant pro Palestinian pro

45
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: Homas protest in New York which was huge and should

46

Speaker 1: have gotten more news coverage, and a lot of the

47
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: people there are just flat out pro Homas or flat

00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: Nate Friedman doing a man on the street at the

00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: big protest in New York City yesterday. We got a

51
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: bunch of this. But here we go.

52
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 4: So is this this is the translac this is the

53
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 4: Palestinian flag mixed with the tan. Okay, what do you

54
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 4: say to those who who say that trans people would

55
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 4: be killed in Palestine?

56
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know about that, but I know

57
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 5: that I'm standing here today. At least fifty percent of

58
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 5: the Gazan government needs to be trans women like Muhammad himself.

59
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 5: Mohammad herself was herd sacked, a trans lesbian.

60
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 4: Mohammad was a woman.

61
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, Islam is a trans idea, it's a trans religion.

62
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 5: It Mohammad herself was a proud trans lesbian.

63
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 4: And Iran the morality police and also in Gaza, they

64
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 4: kill trans people, Like do you think that that's not

65
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 4: true or.

66
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 5: I mean I think they're secretly Jews if they do that,

67
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 5: they because no Muslim would actually do that, like Islam

68
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 5: is a gay religion.

69
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 4: They asked Muslims in Gaza what you would do with

70
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 4: trans people.

71
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: They say that we don't have that here, we kill

72
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: those people.

73
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know, but that's why we need

74
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 5: to protest harder, that we need at least fifty percent

75
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 5: of the Palestinian government to be trans women.

76
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 4: How do I.

77
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: So he's one of those people that has got the

78
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: trans flag, whatever that is. I didn't know they had

79
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: their own flag, But is that you know, trans people

80
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: for Palestine, which, as a lot of us have pointed out,

81
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: that's like a combination, an anomaly, non sequitor, contradiction. I mean,

82
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: it's all kinds of things. I mean, there's not a

83
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: more anti lgbt Q group in the world than your

84
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: Islamic fundamentalists, right right.

85
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: You know, I hate to always lean on the obvious example,

86
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 3: but it's a lot like Jews.

87
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: For Hitler, that was.

88
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: Those club meetings were sparsely attended, but so is that

89
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 3: would be insane but this was an a wrinkle.

90
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: I don't know how many people believe that that Islam

91
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: is a that Muhammad was a woman, and Islam is

92
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: gay friendly. And then when you hear the stuff about

93
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: Islamists going after eight people and kill him, well, those

94
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: are actually Jews. Wow, Okay, this guy goes on.

95
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 4: How do we make that happen?

96
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 5: I mean, we have to protest, we have to push

97
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 5: put pressure on the Jews who control the world to

98
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 5: make this happen. Like they own everything, we have to

99
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 5: make this.

100
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 4: Are you Jewish?

101
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 5: No, I'm Italian and Muslim.

102
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, so Jews own everything? Yeah, how do you think?

103
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 4: How do you think that happened? How did Jews start

104
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 4: owning everything?

105
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 5: I don't know. They use their dark magic. I guess like.

106
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 4: I'm Jewish and I would like to have some magic,

107
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 4: but I don't feel like I have any magic. How

108
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 4: do you think I can access this dark magic?

109
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: I don't know.

110
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 5: If you're maybe using your magic on me right now?

111
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 4: No, if I am the first time ever hearing about magic,

112
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 4: because we used to.

113
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 5: Have like the thing where you would tie a stone

114
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 5: to the leg of a witch and dunk her in

115
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 5: the water and if she floated, she was a witch.

116
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: Should we do that with Jews?

117
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, should we do that with Jews across the

118
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,799
Speaker 4: whole world everywhere?

119
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 5: And there's the other one where you like, put the

120
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 5: Bible on one scale and the Jew on the other,

121
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 5: and if they're lighter than the Bible, they're a witch.

122
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: Okay. So his argument that the new government of Gaza

123
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: needs to be half trans women, Yes, again, how much

124
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: is this is nutpicking in that this is one individual kook.

125
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: Well and wait a minute, wait, that's blatantly discriminatory against

126
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: trans dudes. Don't they get a say in Gaza in

127
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: his world? What the hell? I'm sorry he was saying, Well,

128
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: he is carrying a trans people for Hamas flag or band.

129
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: I mean, what the hell. And it doesn't appear that

130
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: people that have those are being shouted down by others saying, hey,

131
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: that does doesn't make any sense. They would stone us

132
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: to death. It seems to be some support for that

133
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: attitude right in that crowd, right, Yeah, you know, it

134
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: reminds me of the great piece by Eli Lake that

135
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: we featured from the Free Press about the Red Green Alliance. Yeah,

136
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: and how that really took shape in the seventies in Iran,

137
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: where the Marxists and the Islamists realized that they both

138
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: wanted the overthrow of the establishment. We're gonna hear. We're

139
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: gonna hear from a guy because I came across this

140
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: last night so that the protests. You know, yesterday was

141
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: the second anniversary of October seventh, so there were a

142
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: lot of protests around the country, and there were some

143
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: counter protests. And we got a guy who moved here

144
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: from Iran. We'll play it later, but that's exactly what

145
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: he said. Look, I'm worried about what's happening here in

146
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: the United States. I moved here from Iran. I have

147
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: seen this before. The college crowd, the college crowd and

148
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: the Islamists always get bond together, the woke crowd in

149
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: the Islamists gathered together and become a powerful force. And

150
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: he said, I see that happening here. That is exactly

151
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: what it is. Anyway, Look, let's get back to this

152
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: one kooky man woman.

153
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 5: So we just kill all the Jews, though, I think so, yeah, yeah,

154
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 5: we need to throw.

155
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, am I I'm a zion talk to about well

156
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 4: we're we're we're.

157
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: On YouTube too.

158
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 5: Can I look up what you do on YouTube like

159
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 5: us having a conversation. Yeah, I'll do it later.

160
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 4: So okay, so we should call a jus, how should

161
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 4: we kill all the Jews?

162
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 5: We should throw the Jew down the well so that

163
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 5: my country at least can be free.

164
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 4: And what cheer is their country?

165
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 5: Well, America, America is the country, but also Palestine.

166
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: I mean I stand, but also Palestine.

167
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 5: I'm not from there, I've been there.

168
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: Okay. The reason I want to play that no matter

169
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: how crazy he is, there isn't or how many people

170
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: he represents, he just said out loud, we should kill

171
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: all the Jews. Joe Biden claims he ran for president

172
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: because people were saying less than that at Charlottesville. Uh,

173
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: in that big protest there that a person ended up

174
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: dying because of job, drove a car into the crowd

175
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: and it was horrible. But they will not replace us

176
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: was their chant that got everybody all worked up. They

177
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: weren't bold enough to just flat out and say, yeah,

178
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: we ought to kill them all like this guy did,

179
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: and everybody just ignores it. Well, you know, he's just

180
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: a college kid, and what does he know. Well, he's

181
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: one of many people are saying that now systematically ignored Okay,

182
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: I want I want to wrap up his little conversation

183
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: here before before we move on to talk more about it.

184
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Are you trans?

185
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: Yes?

186
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: Okay?

187
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 4: So do you believe that you could stand in Palestine

188
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 4: safely as a transperson?

189
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 5: If we succeed, I would be one of the first

190
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 5: trans members of the new Palestinian Parliament.

191
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 6: Okay.

192
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: See that's clearly a crazy person. How many, simpleton? But

193
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: how many people believe that? I mean, if you're carrying

194
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: if you're specifically, not many, but that's general in general,

195
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: the whole trans well, I mean, the trans for Palestine.

196
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Okay, one more and then

197
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: we'll be done.

198
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 4: Dunking all the Jews in the world in a well

199
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 4: seems inefficient. Is there a faster way to kill all

200
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 4: the Jews? I mean Hitler was pretty good at it, right, Yeah, yeah,

201
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 4: he was. Okay, so we should do it similarly the

202
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 4: way Hitler did it.

203
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 5: I mean he wasn't quite fast enough, but because like

204
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 5: they were able to end the war before he was finished.

205
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, so he should have built more concentration camps.

206
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 5: I think that and like now that we have like

207
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 5: all these like fast food chains with their own ovens

208
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 5: like pizza huh, McDonald's. We could repurpose fast food chain

209
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 5: rovens to be the new ovens to do this, and

210
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 5: it would go so much faster.

211
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 3: And so there are conservatives that are the fascists, and there.

212
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: Are people gathered around watching this interview that have the

213
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: same flags and everything like that, and like nobody's jumping

214
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: in and saying whoa dude? That? I mean, Like, if

215
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm protesting for something and there's somebody who's like Wayne,

216
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: that's gonna hurt my cause what I believe in, I

217
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: would jump in. I think most people would. No, they're

218
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: perfectly fine with him spouting that sort of stuff because

219
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: I think they agree, Yeah, yeah, I would agree. That's

220
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: so nuts. And the fact that it gets zero coverage

221
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: in the news versus if you got you know, you

222
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: have a preacher somewhere, say one thing, or a military

223
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: dude or whoever, giant national story representing millions of mega

224
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: people's thoughts, right, and the danger they pose, right, the

225
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: big danger in America's white supremacy. Wow, we've got some

226
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: much more serious people than him spouting the same attitudes.

227
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: A little bit later on, half the government of Gaza

228
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: should be trans people have a rally, and I think

229
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: it was New York where the guy's saying, we need

230
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 1: to do another October seventh, but stronger, more and more yea,

231
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: and again a bunch of people gathered around and listening,

232
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: and everybody, you know, nodding their heads. It's not like

233
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: people are saying whoa, whoa, whoa, that's too much. I

234
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: think Godza, the Gosins are being treated unfairly in Israel's

235
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: gone too far. But another oct nobody's saying that, no, no,

236
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: And it's.

237
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: Right down the street from the New York Times, And

238
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 3: funnily enough, they didn't have a reporter available to cover it.

239
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: Yeah. Any thoughts on any of this? Text line four

240
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: one five KFTC some business news. Costco announced that they're

241
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: gonna start selling ozempic and wigovi. So now you can

242
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: go to Costco, get a hot dog, some ozempic and

243
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: see who wins. Anybody know what it's gonna cost it Costco?

244
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: Do they mean it the pharmacy or just like in

245
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: the aisle with the medicine. Do you know that? I

246
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: don't know the current state of it.

247
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 3: I know that the companies are working very hard on

248
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 3: getting a pill form of those drugs out because the

249
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 3: is it a weekly jab or a monthly jab?

250
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: Hey, it's not over the counter yet, surely not. No, no, no, no, okay,

251
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: so it's the costco pharmacy, okay, right right. Hey.

252
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 3: By the way, I was just reminded that the Nobel

253
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 3: Prize in Physics went to a trio of guys for

254
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 3: their work mostly in the eighties, I think, but quantum physics.

255
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: We talked about that yesterday. Yeah, yeah, quantum mechanics. And

256
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: you're going to try to explain that to me. Well,

257
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: what was interesting to me is that, yeah, it was

258
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: stuff from the eighties, which usually your Nobel Prizes other

259
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: than literature are not like, you know, lifetime achievement awards.

260
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: They're more something that happened this year, a big discovery.

261
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: So it's kind of interesting to me that this was

262
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: based on stuff that they discovered way back in the

263
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: eighties that has allowed us to have all of the

264
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: AI computing power U Practically everything that we're doing is

265
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: because of stuff that they invented or came up with

266
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: in the eighties around quantum mechanics. I think these guys

267
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: ought to be prosecuted, not given awards. As witches. Oh oh,

268
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: bring the Internet on us. Yeah, you're right, thanks for nothing.

269
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 3: Also worth noting there's some economic stuff out, including the

270
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: fact that gold prices rose to four thousand dollars per

271
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 3: troy ounce for the first time in history.

272
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: A troy ounce. You say, oh, that's my favorite kind

273
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: of ounce.

274
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 3: The Russia gold likely signals increasing doubts about the stability

275
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 3: of the US economy as investors scramble for alternatives to

276
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 3: the dollar. Meanwhile, the Republicans just saying, look, you said

277
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 3: these COVID subsidies were temporary. We're just saying, yes, they

278
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 3: were temporary. Let's go back to the other numbers. And

279
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: Democrats are acting like it's a betrayal of all that

280
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 3: is good and holy, even as you know, globally people

281
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 3: are looking at the US economy and saying, I don't know.

282
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: Gold at four thousand douns, man, if I had being

283
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: gold fillings, i'd be prying amount Oh yeah, heck yeah,

284
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: palling them.

285
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 3: And then you know, the other somewhat concerning figures that

286
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 3: are floating around these days is that the hiring numbers

287
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 3: as best as they can figure them out with the

288
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 3: private organizations, because that perhaps you've heard this. The federal

289
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 3: government is on a bit of a vacation. They don't

290
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 3: look good.

291
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: And the narrative that we have two economies AI and

292
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: the rest of it I think is true. And at

293
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: least you know, these numbers are difficult to put together

294
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: with any great accuracy, but half of the economic growth

295
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: we've seen over the last year has been AI stuff. Well,

296
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: and that's like half a dozen companies. Well, remember the

297
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: stats I had last week. One of them was like

298
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: ninety percent of the growth in the Nasdaq. I mean,

299
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: they were just stunning, stunning percentages for your AI part

300
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: of the stock market. The problem being it could be

301
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: a bubble. So if it is, then well wow, yeah,

302
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: that'll be wacky. Yeah, I'd say. Yeah. So coming up

303
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: next half hour, Pam Bondi, America's toughest middle aged hottie,

304
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: goes before Congress and swings both of her pretty fists

305
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: and it lands blow after blow more or less, and

306
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: the media be clowns itself. Yeah that's a daily story,

307
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: no kidding. One of those stories is that des Moines

308
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: superintendent of schools, who was I mean, he was like

309
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: a fake everything. He claimed he had a PhD.

310
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 3: But didn't right, and he claimed he had a degree

311
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 3: from one place and it was maybe from another place

312
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 3: or maybe not at all.

313
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: Claimed he was like teacher of the Year of some

314
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: sort of thing, and then found out that award doesn't exist.

315
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: I wish i'd have done that. I'm only jealous that

316
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: I didn't pad my resume that way. When I was

317
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: out there, I.

318
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: Read the rest of that email from the guy talking

319
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 3: about a really important engineer in California who at some point,

320
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 3: for credentialing reasons, one of the junior engineers had to

321
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 3: like list him as a reference or whatever, and he

322
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 3: couldn't find any record of this guy's engineering degree. And

323
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 3: it turns out this guy was one of a really

324
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: important engineer in the twentieth century in California.

325
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: He never had a degree.

326
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 3: He was also a brilliant engineer, and they went back

327
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 3: over all of his work.

328
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: It was flawless. He just hadn't bothered with the academic rigmarole. Yeah,

329
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: I feel patience for it. I feel like you'd be

330
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: outed in something like that if you didn't have the

331
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: actual skills. Whereas being a superintendent or something, I mean,

332
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: you could pull that off forever. Armstrong and getty. I'm

333
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: going to be he knew about a topic.

334
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 7: At being in the military, just to be elected as senator. Senator,

335
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 7: I don't think a lot of people like you were

336
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 7: out protesting with antifi.

337
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer, said, you do know the answer.

338
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: Call me a liar. You work for me.

339
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 7: You would have been fired because you were censored by Congress.

340
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: You're lying? Will you support that request? Will you apologize?

341
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: To Donald Trump? And Bondy Feisty in front of the

342
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: Senate yesterday, grilled about Trump's retribution campaign, the weaponization of

343
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: the Justice Department Jack some call lawfair. I noticed like

344
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: ABC News said the White House pleased with Bondi's performance,

345
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: I thought, which is code for them saying she did

346
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: pretty well. She just stood up pretty well to the grilling.

347
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: To the extent that it matters. None of these hearings

348
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: matter freaking at all. They are barely a story. The

349
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 1: day they happen, they disappear into the ether and then

350
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: that's it. So they matter because they entertain me. Well, yeah,

351
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 1: they're entertaining, but they have no political lasting effects. Oh no, no, no,

352
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: unless you know, you get a particularly good singer and

353
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: then they run it on your local news for a

354
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 1: while and you see poll numbers go up by one

355
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: and a half percent, or it's so good you get

356
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: to use it in an ad for your next campaign. Yeah,

357
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: but it usually is a standalone event. As you pointed,

358
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: it's not like we have uncovered something very intriguing here

359
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: today and a subcommittee will be investigating it all. Even

360
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: if that happens, nothing really comes of it. But I

361
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: did appreciate this exchange though with Senator Blumenthal, the congenital liar.

362
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 7: I can finish answering the question topic being in the

363
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 7: military just to be elected as.

364
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: Senator, and of course to a reference to the story

365
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: that indeed, that is what Dick Blumenthal did. Here's good

366
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: old Brian Williams. Whatever happened to Brian Williams got back

367
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: being a fabulous And this is from back in the

368
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: day when Bloomenthal got caught what BONDI was referring to

369
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: at a.

370
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 2: Big US Senate race in Connecticut got blown sky high

371
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: today when the leading Democrat in the race got caught

372
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 2: in a lie over his military service. Richard Blumenthal, as

373
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: the state Attorney General, has said in the past he

374
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: served in Vietnam.

375
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: He did not he served during Vietnam.

376
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 2: The New York Times reports he received five wartime deferments

377
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: and he served stateside in the Marine Reserves. Today, Blumenthal

378
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 2: said he misspoken.

379
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 6: And I will not allow anyone to take a few

380
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 6: misplaced words and impugne my record of service to our country.

381
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 2: The problem with that is there's videotape of Bloomenthal saying

382
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 2: that he was in Vietnam.

383
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's amazing that he went on to win, is

384
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: still a US Senator and is regularly on committees where

385
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: he lectures people about this and that about the military

386
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: when he was out there completely lying about having fought

387
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: in the biggest war of his generation. It's just that's

388
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: the politics couldn't be worse, I know, and you hear

389
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: crap like that. You people want more government, bigger government,

390
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: the government to have more power, be in charge of

391
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: more things. Who do you think the government is.

392
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 3: It's Dick Blumenthal and many many like him.

393
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: Unbelievable. Is incredible, That is incredible. I mean, there are

394
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: really hum misplaced words. There are zero standards for anything.

395
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: You get to lecture people about patriotism or honesty or

396
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: the military this or that when you were out there

397
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: completely lying about that. It's amazing anyway, whatever, that's an

398
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: old story, that one that ship. That ship has left

399
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: the station. What's interesting is that the guy still in

400
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: the Senate and has power and people who just kind

401
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: of let it go by the wayside. That's what I'm saying.

402
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: That train has sailed. I mean that people apparently don't

403
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: care about that. Well.

404
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 3: And it's not like he claimed he played for the Dodgers.

405
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 3: He claimed he served in Vietnam.

406
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: Right, Oh, for God's sake, anyway, this was an odd

407
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: moment with Ted Cruz and good hold Homespun, John Kennedy

408
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: and Pam Bondi.

409
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 2: And I'll point out Senator Kennedy has a new book

410
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 2: about testing negative for stupid.

411
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: So I hope I test negative for stupid. I hope

412
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: I meet the threshold of you Do you meet it?

413
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 2: And I'm talk in the book about the tattoo of

414
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 2: the Backstreet Boys on your back.

415
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: Look, I can't help that you don't want to reach

416
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: young people. I think young people of the future, damn it.

417
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 2: And I'll do whatever steps are being Backstreet.

418
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 7: Boys that would be on Vice President Vance's playlist.

419
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: I heard that got hacked yesterday. Yeah, yeah, like I said,

420
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: just entertaining us all get out. Wow. Wow. So to

421
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: the topic of the hearing.

422
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 3: I've been trying to decide because there there is a

423
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 3: certain amount of the Justice Department weaponization that's more open

424
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 3: and aggressive than it's been in the past. On the

425
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 3: other hand, there's been plenty of open aggressive weaponization of

426
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 3: the Justice Department in the past, just the media ignored it.

427
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mentioned, agreed it. I don't think I'm

428
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: allowed to post it. I know I'm not allowed to

429
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: post it. But so Mark Halprin in his newsletter a

430
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, when this story first bubbled up,

431
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: he laid out all of the lawfare that has gone

432
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: on from the Justice Department at the behest of a

433
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: president since the early nineties. I mean, it's just a

434
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: common thing. It doesn't mean it's good. It's just getting

435
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: more and more common over the years. And you know,

436
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: it's more blatant now, but it's been happening for a very,

437
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: very long time. It is not a new phenomenon, right right.

438
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 3: And it's difficult as conservatives because the referee is on

439
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 3: one team's side, meaning, you know, the mainstream media. Although

440
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 3: it's worth repeating every so often that if you're under forty, especially,

441
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: you do not get your news from mainstream media.

442
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: You get it online from TikTok and and whatever the

443
00:23:54,840 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: algorithms feed you, which is probably worse. But anyway, Yeah,

444
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: so you have the refs just calling penalties on one side,

445
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: and I can't. There's part of me that thinks, you know,

446
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: Trump is almost doing us a service by bringing this

447
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: out into the open and saying, all right, you did

448
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: it to me, now I'm going to do it to you.

449
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: How do you like it? Because if sanity prevailed, if

450
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: there were adults in charge, we'd all say, okay, all right, everybody,

451
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: it's time to back off. Let's all agree this is unproductive,

452
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: it's bad for the country, blah blah blah.

453
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 3: But I don't think those adults are in the room anymore,

454
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 3: with especially with the greatest Satan, perhaps the greatest devil

455
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 3: that was ever unleashed on the American politics. Small dollar

456
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 3: donations online, you get nothing donated to you for saying, hey,

457
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 3: it's time for us to remember our principles and and

458
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 3: and this weaponization of the Justice Department or the justice system.

459
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: We need to have a high bar separation blah blah.

460
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 1: You'll get twenty dollars chi chain donated online. But if

461
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: you say Donald Trump is hitler and he needs to

462
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: be in jail somebody, you'll pour in. Or if you

463
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: said I think you should die, and I'd crap on

464
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: your grave, you'd take thousands and thousands of dollars, Yes,

465
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: and you'd run for attorney general in Virginia. Yes.

466
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I just I don't know where the salvation is.

467
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 3: I don't mean to be discouraging. You are you're discovered. No,

468
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 3: I am, Well I'm discouraged. I can't help it. So

469
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 3: I'm going up the media big clowns itself. Yes, and

470
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 3: I want to mention this every hour.

471
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: So one of the lead stories everywhere is how lots

472
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: of flights are being canceled or delayed. Uh, and then

473
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: they're going to talk to people in airports. Yeah, my

474
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: wife had to drive up and get me because they

475
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 1: canceled this flight blah blah blah because the air traffic controllers

476
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: government shut down blah blah blah, without ever mentioning they

477
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: haven't missed a paycheck, they haven't missed a set yet.

478
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: If they're not going to work, it's purely a political move,

479
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: all right, It is not because you can you can

480
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: have the air traffic controller on there talking about child cared.

481
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: I got kids and my wife and house payment cover.

482
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: You haven't missed any money yet, all right, and not

483
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: until the fourteenth when the next check comes out. Has

484
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: anybody missed a dime? That's an important part of the

485
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: story in my opinion, right right, yeah, So that excuse me.

486
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 3: Also, we need to get to some of the more

487
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 3: serious speeches and chants at the pro Hamas rallies around

488
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 3: the country yesterday on the anniversary of the brutal murder, torture, rape, abduction,

489
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 3: slaughter of innocent kids at a music festival. The side

490
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 3: that did that was supported by lots of young people

491
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 3: in the street, Queer's for Palestine.

492
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: Among other things. The things they said, we'll get to

493
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: that before long as well. Cool. All that's on the way.

494
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: Got to put on my Dodger's at Dodgers play today

495
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: at home. I got to get my Dodgers at I'm

496
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: on the bandwagon bandwagon jumper. Fake fan boo oo a

497
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: term I do not recognize fake fan as opposed to

498
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. Why the Brewers are

499
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: beating up on my cubbies. I think Brewers are headed

500
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: for the World Series, but we shall see. It's not

501
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: they play the games. Jack, not good for ratings, I'll

502
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: tell you that. Uh no, no good Baal team though,

503
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: So welcome to the major media. Be clown themselves. That's

504
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: enough of that music, Michael is annoying.

505
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 3: So I came across a couple of stories in a

506
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 3: row during my rigorous preparations for the show today, Jack.

507
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: That for some reason, that music and the circus and

508
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: everything like that reminded me of the Jerry Seinfeld bit

509
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: where he says, what is this? What is going on here?

510
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: Right right? Describing the acts? Is anybody enjoying this? Katie

511
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: mentioned to us off the air, Katie, are you a

512
00:27:54,880 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: handy that her ex went to clown college or something? Yeah,

513
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: he went to clown school. Your excellent school boyfriend went

514
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: to clown school. He could juggle like nobody's business. Is

515
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: that what attracted you to him? Or did he do

516
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: this after you? Well, you dumped him and he just

517
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: he went off on a bender and ended up in

518
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: clown school.

519
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 5: Oh.

520
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: This was something I learned while we were dating, okay,

521
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: and was that a red flag, as they say, it

522
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: was just kind of it was more like a why

523
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: didn't really any further? Was it an ongoing effort at

524
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: the time? Or yeah? Was that in his hazy past?

525
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: It was. It went to a bunch of different kind

526
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: of like art schools, and clown school was one of them. Yeah,

527
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: did he wear the college clown grad school? Did he

528
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: wear use red nose, all of it? Well, he was committed.

529
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: You got to admire that. Nice. You got a dream big? Yeah? Interesting,

530
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: Well you wanted to be a circus performer as a kid, right, Jack?

531
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: I did. I did, But I was a child. I

532
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: was not a grown man, not a twenty one year

533
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: old man. No, would he like put his hand upon

534
00:28:58,720 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: his back and all of a sudden give a book

535
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: of roses that was made out of a balloon? Oh yeah,

536
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: and like thirty eight handkerchiefs coming out of his pants.

537
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: You know it's crazy.

538
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 3: Oh hey, speaking of Wisconsin, as we were, I roadied

539
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 3: for a summer for a band called Jugular that with

540
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 3: two g's and they played.

541
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: Like, ah, what would you call like Kenny g Jazz,

542
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: but more upbeat than that, more rockin than that, And

543
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: had a couple of jugglers what a musical juggling act.

544
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: Wait a second, is this a real story? And how

545
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: if I've never heard this before? You roaded for a

546
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: combination Kenny G juggling act? Well, Kenny G, if you

547
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: had balls man? Yes? Yes? What? Yeah? And they were

548
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: nice people too, and I near the year around listens

549
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: to the show drank free beer. What was the audience like?

550
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: They played music festivals like we did. They played the

551
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Summerfest but like middies women are walking to tie

552
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: in which I had failed to make and I apologize

553
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: for that. Who was digging these slightly more up tempo

554
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: Kenny G with juggling act the Drunks in the sun?

555
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: It appeared okay people in a music for us. They

556
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: were very very good, but again more more like your

557
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: fusion funk jazz kind of melodic. So Wisconsin was home

558
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: of the Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey circus summer. Uh,

559
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: that's where they camped in the summer and getting ready

560
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: for the year. And we went a couple of times,

561
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: I think when I was a kid, and you'd watch

562
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: them practice and do other stuff, and that that's where

563
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: they would like, you know, it's like training camp for

564
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: football teams was like training camp for the circus, And

565
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: they would do their high wire act and they're juggling

566
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: and all their different things. They're getting ready to yeh.

567
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: Little did the bearded lady know that Bearded Ladies would

568
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: soon be a diamond dozen poor confused kids. Anyway, Ah,

569
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: sock to the media thing.

570
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 3: You've probably heard the story about the des Moines, Iowa

571
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 3: superintendent who turned out to be an illegal immigrant and

572
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 3: a gun total nut, and also didn't have the degrees

573
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 3: he claimed to. Well, the New York Times had a

574
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 3: big featured story on it, and I thought, yeah, okay.

575
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 3: The headline that caught me. The superintendent's bio seemed too

576
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 3: good to be true. It was Ian Roberts rose through

577
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 3: the ranks of American education with talent charman a riveting backstory.

578
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 3: He was also hiding a shocking secret. I thought, oh,

579
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 3: this is remarkable for the New York Times, and then

580
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 3: I read their unintentionally self beclowning story.

581
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to read you the lead here.

582
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,959
Speaker 3: School district leaders in Des Moines drew up a detailed

583
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 3: wish list when they set out to hire a new

584
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 3: superintendent in twenty twenty three. They wanted someone who could

585
00:31:55,680 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 3: increase reading scores. That's great, perfect prove the math skills

586
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 3: of black boys. Why black boys in particular, Probably because

587
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 3: they were bad.

588
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: You'd think they would be worried about everybody. But that's fine,

589
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: I get it.

590
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 3: But in their three point description of what they're looking for,

591
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 3: point number three is adhere to an affirmative action plan.

592
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: And much more.

593
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 3: Most of all, you've got a short list of qualities

594
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 3: the person must bring to education, and item number three

595
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 3: is adhere to an affirmative action plan. Wow, most of all,

596
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 3: and well, ironically you know this guy's story. But most

597
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 3: of all, des Moines Public Schools needed a galvanizing leader

598
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 3: who could meet a moment shaped by the aftermath of

599
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 3: COVID and the racial justice movement of twenty twenty. Wait

600
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 3: a minute, Wait a minute, Why does any school district

601
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 3: in America worry about affirmative action plans and the racial

602
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 3: justice movement of twenty twenty. This is an indictment of

603
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 3: des Moines Schools. Anyway, his application seemed almost too perfect.

604
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 3: Spent most of his career in urban school systems.

605
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: Charismatic HANDSID administrator, wrote books, gave speeches, boasted of degrees

606
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: from brand name universities. His life story was compelling, an

607
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: immigrant from Guiana who competed in the Olympics and spoke

608
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: bluntly about his experiences as a black man in the

609
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: United States. But then the next weird part, they were

610
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: in love with this guy. I wanted to hire him. Ah,

611
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: red flags would pop up.

612
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 3: The district learned about a past brush with law enforcement

613
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 3: and a misstatement on his resume about where he had

614
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 3: earned a doctorate.

615
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: He just completely lied about his degrees. How New York

616
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: Times is that a misstatement on your resume? Wow?

617
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 3: So did they do this story like apples? But the

618
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 3: Moines officials moved ahead to hire him anyway. Yeah, that's

619
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 3: the punchline to the story.

620
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: As they found out that his PhD was fake and

621
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: then he was a liar and scam artist and they

622
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: fired him anyway, which is just crazy. Yeah, and they

623
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: said he was a US citizen, turns out he was not,

624
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: which to me is the least of the problems here. Yeah,

625
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: in this story, it's just amazing. Then this story from

626
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: Yes how much time we got Michael one minute? Can

627
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: we jam this in here real quick? This clip from

628
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: Stephen Pinker, it's really short, Hero to the left, Finker,

629
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: Stephen Pinker on DEI. That's Clip ten.

630
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 8: You know, I have nothing against diversity, equity and inclusion,

631
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 8: but you know, as Voltaire said about the Holy Roman Empire,

632
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 8: it was neither holy nor Roman nor an empire. And

633
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:45,720
Speaker 8: diversity equity inclusion is imposes an intellectual monoculture. It favors

634
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 8: certain groups over others, and it has a long list

635
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 8: of offenses that mean you can be excluded.

636
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: Good for Stephen Pinker saying that out loud to an

637
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: audience that didn't want to hear it, because that leads

638
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: to the sort of crap you just heard with that

639
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: Des Moines educator, and.

640
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 3: He was clearly a DEI higher himself. Diversity means more Marxists,

641
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 3: Equity means Marxism. Inclusion means including more Marxists. I didn't

642
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 3: get to story number two in the media be clowning

643
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 3: themselves the Wall Street Journal writing about the government shutdown.

644
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 3: It is ironic and amusing. We'll get to it next hour.

00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,560
