WEBVTT - If Kenny G Had Balls!

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, arm Strong and Getty,

0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:24.479
<v Speaker 1>and he Armstrong and Yetty. So I guess the thing

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:26.440
<v Speaker 1>we're all gonna have to determine here after we hear

0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 1>from this young gentleman is uh. I guess he would

0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>call himself a young woman because he at some point

0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:34.199
<v Speaker 1>states he's trans all the way he looks just like

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:36.000
<v Speaker 1>a dude, like a regular dude, like he's not making

0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>any effort to look like a woman, but he says

0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 1>he's a trans woman anyway, hear a dude, dude?

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:42.599
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Is he crazy? Is he stupid? Is he ignorant? Because

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:49.680
<v Speaker 1>those are all three different things? Or is he a

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 1>mixture of all three or whatever? But so there's this guy.

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Almost you almost need like the little scales like he's

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 3>a video game character.

0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, his speed rating is six, out rating is

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>aid maneuverability's only a three. So you got to have

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 1>the crazy meter, the stupid meter, and the ignorant meter.

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned video games. I want to get this joke

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.039
<v Speaker 1>on because I heard this. This is a meme. My

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.680
<v Speaker 1>son said, I thought this was funny yesterday the idea

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>that you know, the world is just a video game,

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Life is just a video game or a simulation or whatever.

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 1>You hear that now and then life is just a

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>video game. And the rating on a life being a

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 1>video game is the animation is amazing, but the storyline

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:41.479
<v Speaker 1>and characters suck. I would agree, Wow, that's good. So

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>this guy Nate Friedman, maybe you've seen him on the YouTube.

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>He shows up at various things and sticks microphone in

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 1>people's faces and ask some questions in a very friendly way,

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>and they beclown themselves. And you know, it's like the

0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>libs of TikTok thing. It's just the people on the

0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 1>left get upset about this, but hey, nothing untoward is

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 1>happening here. This is This is your people spouting their nonsense.

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.640
<v Speaker 1>This guy is just and lips of TikTok just airs it.

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:12.920
<v Speaker 1>This guy, Nate Friedman is just airing it. That's all

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.639
<v Speaker 1>he's doing. And an interesting thing during this interview. I

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know if we have it in the clips, but people,

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 1>a couple of people came up to Nate while he

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>was interviewing this guy. This woman who kept saying, hey,

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 1>don't talk to him, he's a Zionist. He's on YouTube

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 1>all the time. Like I don't I don't know what

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>that means. But this is the giant pro Palestinian pro

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Homas protest in New York which was huge and should

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>have gotten more news coverage, and a lot of the

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>people there are just flat out pro Homas or flat

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>out anti jew And like this guy that was being interviewed,

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.519
<v Speaker 1>Nate Friedman doing a man on the street at the

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.920
<v Speaker 1>big protest in New York City yesterday. We got a

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 1>bunch of this. But here we go.

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 4>So is this this is the translac this is the

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 4>Palestinian flag mixed with the tan. Okay, what do you

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 4>say to those who who say that trans people would

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 4>be killed in Palestine?

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I don't know about that, but I know

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 5>that I'm standing here today. At least fifty percent of

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 5>the Gazan government needs to be trans women like Muhammad himself.

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 5>Mohammad herself was herd sacked, a trans lesbian.

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:18.640
<v Speaker 4>Mohammad was a woman.

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Islam is a trans idea, it's a trans religion.

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 5>It Mohammad herself was a proud trans lesbian.

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:30.640
<v Speaker 4>And Iran the morality police and also in Gaza, they

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.000
<v Speaker 4>kill trans people, Like do you think that that's not

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 4>true or.

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 5>I mean I think they're secretly Jews if they do that,

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 5>they because no Muslim would actually do that, like Islam

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 5>is a gay religion.

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 4>They asked Muslims in Gaza what you would do with

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 4>trans people.

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 1>They say that we don't have that here, we kill

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:51.480
<v Speaker 1>those people.

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.320
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I don't know, but that's why we need

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 5>to protest harder, that we need at least fifty percent

0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 5>of the Palestinian government to be trans women.

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 4>How do I.

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 1>So he's one of those people that has got the

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>trans flag, whatever that is. I didn't know they had

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>their own flag, But is that you know, trans people

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.480
<v Speaker 1>for Palestine, which, as a lot of us have pointed out,

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>that's like a combination, an anomaly, non sequitor, contradiction. I mean,

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>it's all kinds of things. I mean, there's not a

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>more anti lgbt Q group in the world than your

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Islamic fundamentalists, right right.

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.400
<v Speaker 3>You know, I hate to always lean on the obvious example,

0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:38.520
<v Speaker 3>but it's a lot like Jews.

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 1>For Hitler, that was.

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Those club meetings were sparsely attended, but so is that

0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 3>would be insane but this was an a wrinkle.

0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:49.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how many people believe that that Islam

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 1>is a that Muhammad was a woman, and Islam is

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 1>gay friendly. And then when you hear the stuff about

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Islamists going after eight people and kill him, well, those

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.920
<v Speaker 1>are actually Jews. Wow, Okay, this guy goes on.

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:06.799
<v Speaker 4>How do we make that happen?

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 5>I mean, we have to protest, we have to push

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.479
<v Speaker 5>put pressure on the Jews who control the world to

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:17.479
<v Speaker 5>make this happen. Like they own everything, we have to

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 5>make this.

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 4>Are you Jewish?

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 5>No, I'm Italian and Muslim.

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:27.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so Jews own everything? Yeah, how do you think?

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 4>How do you think that happened? How did Jews start

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 4>owning everything?

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 5>I don't know. They use their dark magic. I guess like.

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.279
<v Speaker 4>I'm Jewish and I would like to have some magic,

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 4>but I don't feel like I have any magic. How

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:42.800
<v Speaker 4>do you think I can access this dark magic?

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.240
<v Speaker 5>If you're maybe using your magic on me right now?

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 4>No, if I am the first time ever hearing about magic,

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:51.280
<v Speaker 4>because we used to.

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.919
<v Speaker 5>Have like the thing where you would tie a stone

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 5>to the leg of a witch and dunk her in

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 5>the water and if she floated, she was a witch.

0:05:58.200 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>Should we do that with Jews?

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 4>Yes, okay, should we do that with Jews across the

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:03.799
<v Speaker 4>whole world everywhere?

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 5>And there's the other one where you like, put the

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 5>Bible on one scale and the Jew on the other,

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 5>and if they're lighter than the Bible, they're a witch.

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay. So his argument that the new government of Gaza

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:26.520
<v Speaker 1>needs to be half trans women, Yes, again, how much

0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:30.359
<v Speaker 1>is this is nutpicking in that this is one individual kook.

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Well and wait a minute, wait, that's blatantly discriminatory against

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 1>trans dudes. Don't they get a say in Gaza in

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>his world? What the hell? I'm sorry he was saying, Well,

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 1>he is carrying a trans people for Hamas flag or band.

0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:56.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what the hell. And it doesn't appear that

0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 1>people that have those are being shouted down by others saying, hey,

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.800
<v Speaker 1>that does doesn't make any sense. They would stone us

0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.800
<v Speaker 1>to death. It seems to be some support for that

0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:09.120
<v Speaker 1>attitude right in that crowd, right, Yeah, you know, it

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 1>reminds me of the great piece by Eli Lake that

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 1>we featured from the Free Press about the Red Green Alliance. Yeah,

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:19.000
<v Speaker 1>and how that really took shape in the seventies in Iran,

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 1>where the Marxists and the Islamists realized that they both

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 1>wanted the overthrow of the establishment. We're gonna hear. We're

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna hear from a guy because I came across this

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>last night so that the protests. You know, yesterday was

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>the second anniversary of October seventh, so there were a

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of protests around the country, and there were some

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.080
<v Speaker 1>counter protests. And we got a guy who moved here

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.640
<v Speaker 1>from Iran. We'll play it later, but that's exactly what

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 1>he said. Look, I'm worried about what's happening here in

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 1>the United States. I moved here from Iran. I have

0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:49.240
<v Speaker 1>seen this before. The college crowd, the college crowd and

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the Islamists always get bond together, the woke crowd in

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the Islamists gathered together and become a powerful force. And

0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 1>he said, I see that happening here. That is exactly

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 1>what it is. Anyway, Look, let's get back to this

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:02.200
<v Speaker 1>one kooky man woman.

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 5>So we just kill all the Jews, though, I think so, yeah, yeah,

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 5>we need to throw.

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, am I I'm a zion talk to about well

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 4>we're we're we're.

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 1>On YouTube too.

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 5>Can I look up what you do on YouTube like

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:19.840
<v Speaker 5>us having a conversation. Yeah, I'll do it later.

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.120
<v Speaker 4>So okay, so we should call a jus, how should

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:22.920
<v Speaker 4>we kill all the Jews?

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 5>We should throw the Jew down the well so that

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 5>my country at least can be free.

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 4>And what cheer is their country?

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 5>Well, America, America is the country, but also Palestine.

0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean I stand, but also Palestine.

0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.200
<v Speaker 5>I'm not from there, I've been there.

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay. The reason I want to play that no matter

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 1>how crazy he is, there isn't or how many people

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.400
<v Speaker 1>he represents, he just said out loud, we should kill

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.960
<v Speaker 1>all the Jews. Joe Biden claims he ran for president

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 1>because people were saying less than that at Charlottesville. Uh,

0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 1>in that big protest there that a person ended up

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.320
<v Speaker 1>dying because of job, drove a car into the crowd

0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 1>and it was horrible. But they will not replace us

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.439
<v Speaker 1>was their chant that got everybody all worked up. They

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 1>weren't bold enough to just flat out and say, yeah,

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 1>we ought to kill them all like this guy did,

0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.760
<v Speaker 1>and everybody just ignores it. Well, you know, he's just

0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 1>a college kid, and what does he know. Well, he's

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 1>one of many people are saying that now systematically ignored Okay,

0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.360
<v Speaker 1>I want I want to wrap up his little conversation

0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:29.560
<v Speaker 1>here before before we move on to talk more about it.

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Go ahead, Are you trans?

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 4>So do you believe that you could stand in Palestine

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 4>safely as a transperson?

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 5>If we succeed, I would be one of the first

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 5>trans members of the new Palestinian Parliament.

0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 6>Okay.

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 1>See that's clearly a crazy person. How many, simpleton? But

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 1>how many people believe that? I mean, if you're carrying

0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:55.520
<v Speaker 1>if you're specifically, not many, but that's general in general,

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.480
<v Speaker 1>the whole trans well, I mean, the trans for Palestine.

0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.840
<v Speaker 1>What are you talking about? Okay, one more and then

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:02.480
<v Speaker 1>we'll be done.

0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:05.000
<v Speaker 4>Dunking all the Jews in the world in a well

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.120
<v Speaker 4>seems inefficient. Is there a faster way to kill all

0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:12.120
<v Speaker 4>the Jews? I mean Hitler was pretty good at it, right, Yeah, yeah,

0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 4>he was. Okay, so we should do it similarly the

0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 4>way Hitler did it.

0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:18.960
<v Speaker 5>I mean he wasn't quite fast enough, but because like

0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 5>they were able to end the war before he was finished.

0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:24.040
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, so he should have built more concentration camps.

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 5>I think that and like now that we have like

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.560
<v Speaker 5>all these like fast food chains with their own ovens

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:36.600
<v Speaker 5>like pizza huh, McDonald's. We could repurpose fast food chain

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 5>rovens to be the new ovens to do this, and

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:42.199
<v Speaker 5>it would go so much faster.

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 3>And so there are conservatives that are the fascists, and there.

0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Are people gathered around watching this interview that have the

0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.840
<v Speaker 1>same flags and everything like that, and like nobody's jumping

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 1>in and saying whoa dude? That? I mean, Like, if

0:10:56.320 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm protesting for something and there's somebody who's like Wayne,

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.480
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna hurt my cause what I believe in, I

0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 1>would jump in. I think most people would. No, they're

0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:09.439
<v Speaker 1>perfectly fine with him spouting that sort of stuff because

0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I think they agree, Yeah, yeah, I would agree. That's

0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:18.319
<v Speaker 1>so nuts. And the fact that it gets zero coverage

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 1>in the news versus if you got you know, you

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 1>have a preacher somewhere, say one thing, or a military

0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:32.120
<v Speaker 1>dude or whoever, giant national story representing millions of mega

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 1>people's thoughts, right, and the danger they pose, right, the

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:41.280
<v Speaker 1>big danger in America's white supremacy. Wow, we've got some

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.880
<v Speaker 1>much more serious people than him spouting the same attitudes.

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:48.560
<v Speaker 1>A little bit later on, half the government of Gaza

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 1>should be trans people have a rally, and I think

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.400
<v Speaker 1>it was New York where the guy's saying, we need

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:58.719
<v Speaker 1>to do another October seventh, but stronger, more and more yea,

0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.360
<v Speaker 1>and again a bunch of people gathered around and listening,

0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 1>and everybody, you know, nodding their heads. It's not like

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 1>people are saying whoa, whoa, whoa, that's too much. I

0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 1>think Godza, the Gosins are being treated unfairly in Israel's

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:14.000
<v Speaker 1>gone too far. But another oct nobody's saying that, no, no,

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 1>And it's.

0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 3>Right down the street from the New York Times, And

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:20.760
<v Speaker 3>funnily enough, they didn't have a reporter available to cover it.

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Any thoughts on any of this? Text line four

0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 1>one five KFTC some business news. Costco announced that they're

0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna start selling ozempic and wigovi. So now you can

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:36.960
<v Speaker 1>go to Costco, get a hot dog, some ozempic and

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:42.480
<v Speaker 1>see who wins. Anybody know what it's gonna cost it Costco?

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Do they mean it the pharmacy or just like in

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.200
<v Speaker 1>the aisle with the medicine. Do you know that? I

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know the current state of it.

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.680
<v Speaker 3>I know that the companies are working very hard on

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.559
<v Speaker 3>getting a pill form of those drugs out because the

0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 3>is it a weekly jab or a monthly jab?

0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Hey, it's not over the counter yet, surely not. No, no, no, no, okay,

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.760
<v Speaker 1>so it's the costco pharmacy, okay, right right. Hey.

0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 3>By the way, I was just reminded that the Nobel

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 3>Prize in Physics went to a trio of guys for

0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.960
<v Speaker 3>their work mostly in the eighties, I think, but quantum physics.

0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 1>We talked about that yesterday. Yeah, yeah, quantum mechanics. And

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 1>you're going to try to explain that to me. Well,

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.320
<v Speaker 1>what was interesting to me is that, yeah, it was

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.400
<v Speaker 1>stuff from the eighties, which usually your Nobel Prizes other

0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:28.960
<v Speaker 1>than literature are not like, you know, lifetime achievement awards.

0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 1>They're more something that happened this year, a big discovery.

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 1>So it's kind of interesting to me that this was

0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.079
<v Speaker 1>based on stuff that they discovered way back in the

0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 1>eighties that has allowed us to have all of the

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:43.440
<v Speaker 1>AI computing power U Practically everything that we're doing is

0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:45.800
<v Speaker 1>because of stuff that they invented or came up with

0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.840
<v Speaker 1>in the eighties around quantum mechanics. I think these guys

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 1>ought to be prosecuted, not given awards. As witches. Oh oh,

0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:58.000
<v Speaker 1>bring the Internet on us. Yeah, you're right, thanks for nothing.

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:03.400
<v Speaker 3>Also worth noting there's some economic stuff out, including the

0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 3>fact that gold prices rose to four thousand dollars per

0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:07.640
<v Speaker 3>troy ounce for the first time in history.

0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 1>A troy ounce. You say, oh, that's my favorite kind

0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:11.560
<v Speaker 1>of ounce.

0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.960
<v Speaker 3>The Russia gold likely signals increasing doubts about the stability

0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 3>of the US economy as investors scramble for alternatives to

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:23.080
<v Speaker 3>the dollar. Meanwhile, the Republicans just saying, look, you said

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 3>these COVID subsidies were temporary. We're just saying, yes, they

0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 3>were temporary. Let's go back to the other numbers. And

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.240
<v Speaker 3>Democrats are acting like it's a betrayal of all that

0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:38.280
<v Speaker 3>is good and holy, even as you know, globally people

0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.000
<v Speaker 3>are looking at the US economy and saying, I don't know.

0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Gold at four thousand douns, man, if I had being

0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 1>gold fillings, i'd be prying amount Oh yeah, heck yeah,

0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 1>palling them.

0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 3>And then you know, the other somewhat concerning figures that

0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.840
<v Speaker 3>are floating around these days is that the hiring numbers

0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 3>as best as they can figure them out with the

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 3>private organizations, because that perhaps you've heard this. The federal

0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 3>government is on a bit of a vacation. They don't

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 3>look good.

0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:11.080
<v Speaker 1>And the narrative that we have two economies AI and

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:15.040
<v Speaker 1>the rest of it I think is true. And at

0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.280
<v Speaker 1>least you know, these numbers are difficult to put together

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:22.000
<v Speaker 1>with any great accuracy, but half of the economic growth

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.120
<v Speaker 1>we've seen over the last year has been AI stuff. Well,

0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.440
<v Speaker 1>and that's like half a dozen companies. Well, remember the

0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.640
<v Speaker 1>stats I had last week. One of them was like

0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.000
<v Speaker 1>ninety percent of the growth in the Nasdaq. I mean,

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:36.840
<v Speaker 1>they were just stunning, stunning percentages for your AI part

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 1>of the stock market. The problem being it could be

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:43.760
<v Speaker 1>a bubble. So if it is, then well wow, yeah,

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 1>that'll be wacky. Yeah, I'd say. Yeah. So coming up

0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:52.160
<v Speaker 1>next half hour, Pam Bondi, America's toughest middle aged hottie,

0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:56.400
<v Speaker 1>goes before Congress and swings both of her pretty fists

0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:00.240
<v Speaker 1>and it lands blow after blow more or less, and

0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:05.760
<v Speaker 1>the media be clowns itself. Yeah that's a daily story,

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:10.080
<v Speaker 1>no kidding. One of those stories is that des Moines

0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:12.520
<v Speaker 1>superintendent of schools, who was I mean, he was like

0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:16.640
<v Speaker 1>a fake everything. He claimed he had a PhD.

0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 3>But didn't right, and he claimed he had a degree

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:23.360
<v Speaker 3>from one place and it was maybe from another place

0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 3>or maybe not at all.

0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Claimed he was like teacher of the Year of some

0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.680
<v Speaker 1>sort of thing, and then found out that award doesn't exist.

0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I wish i'd have done that. I'm only jealous that

0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I didn't pad my resume that way. When I was

0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:35.840
<v Speaker 1>out there, I.

0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:37.840
<v Speaker 3>Read the rest of that email from the guy talking

0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:44.120
<v Speaker 3>about a really important engineer in California who at some point,

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.840
<v Speaker 3>for credentialing reasons, one of the junior engineers had to

0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.640
<v Speaker 3>like list him as a reference or whatever, and he

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 3>couldn't find any record of this guy's engineering degree. And

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.240
<v Speaker 3>it turns out this guy was one of a really

0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.800
<v Speaker 3>important engineer in the twentieth century in California.

0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 1>He never had a degree.

0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:01.960
<v Speaker 3>He was also a brilliant engineer, and they went back

0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:02.960
<v Speaker 3>over all of his work.

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:07.600
<v Speaker 1>It was flawless. He just hadn't bothered with the academic rigmarole. Yeah,

0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I feel patience for it. I feel like you'd be

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:11.480
<v Speaker 1>outed in something like that if you didn't have the

0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.080
<v Speaker 1>actual skills. Whereas being a superintendent or something, I mean,

0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 1>you could pull that off forever. Armstrong and getty. I'm

0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 1>going to be he knew about a topic.

0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:28.760
<v Speaker 7>At being in the military, just to be elected as senator. Senator,

0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:30.399
<v Speaker 7>I don't think a lot of people like you were

0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.159
<v Speaker 7>out protesting with antifi.

0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't know the answer, said, you do know the answer.

0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:39.159
<v Speaker 1>Call me a liar. You work for me.

0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:42.840
<v Speaker 7>You would have been fired because you were censored by Congress.

0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:46.080
<v Speaker 1>You're lying? Will you support that request? Will you apologize?

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:52.639
<v Speaker 1>To Donald Trump? And Bondy Feisty in front of the

0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Senate yesterday, grilled about Trump's retribution campaign, the weaponization of

0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:04.159
<v Speaker 1>the Justice Department Jack some call lawfair. I noticed like

0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:09.240
<v Speaker 1>ABC News said the White House pleased with Bondi's performance,

0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:12.280
<v Speaker 1>I thought, which is code for them saying she did

0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.280
<v Speaker 1>pretty well. She just stood up pretty well to the grilling.

0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:18.000
<v Speaker 1>To the extent that it matters. None of these hearings

0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 1>matter freaking at all. They are barely a story. The

0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.479
<v Speaker 1>day they happen, they disappear into the ether and then

0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:29.520
<v Speaker 1>that's it. So they matter because they entertain me. Well, yeah,

0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:34.640
<v Speaker 1>they're entertaining, but they have no political lasting effects. Oh no, no, no,

0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:37.679
<v Speaker 1>unless you know, you get a particularly good singer and

0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:39.760
<v Speaker 1>then they run it on your local news for a

0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:41.719
<v Speaker 1>while and you see poll numbers go up by one

0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:43.159
<v Speaker 1>and a half percent, or it's so good you get

0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:46.080
<v Speaker 1>to use it in an ad for your next campaign. Yeah,

0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.800
<v Speaker 1>but it usually is a standalone event. As you pointed,

0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.560
<v Speaker 1>it's not like we have uncovered something very intriguing here

0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.720
<v Speaker 1>today and a subcommittee will be investigating it all. Even

0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 1>if that happens, nothing really comes of it. But I

0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:04.440
<v Speaker 1>did appreciate this exchange though with Senator Blumenthal, the congenital liar.

0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:13.199
<v Speaker 7>I can finish answering the question topic being in the

0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:15.200
<v Speaker 7>military just to be elected as.

0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:20.919
<v Speaker 1>Senator, and of course to a reference to the story

0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:24.560
<v Speaker 1>that indeed, that is what Dick Blumenthal did. Here's good

0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:27.840
<v Speaker 1>old Brian Williams. Whatever happened to Brian Williams got back

0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.399
<v Speaker 1>being a fabulous And this is from back in the

0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:33.280
<v Speaker 1>day when Bloomenthal got caught what BONDI was referring to

0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:34.199
<v Speaker 1>at a.

0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Big US Senate race in Connecticut got blown sky high

0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:40.600
<v Speaker 2>today when the leading Democrat in the race got caught

0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:45.160
<v Speaker 2>in a lie over his military service. Richard Blumenthal, as

0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:48.000
<v Speaker 2>the state Attorney General, has said in the past he

0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:49.320
<v Speaker 2>served in Vietnam.

0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:52.400
<v Speaker 1>He did not he served during Vietnam.

0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:56.200
<v Speaker 2>The New York Times reports he received five wartime deferments

0:19:56.440 --> 0:20:00.720
<v Speaker 2>and he served stateside in the Marine Reserves. Today, Blumenthal

0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:02.919
<v Speaker 2>said he misspoken.

0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:08.080
<v Speaker 6>And I will not allow anyone to take a few

0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:16.040
<v Speaker 6>misplaced words and impugne my record of service to our country.

0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:19.800
<v Speaker 2>The problem with that is there's videotape of Bloomenthal saying

0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:21.800
<v Speaker 2>that he was in Vietnam.

0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's amazing that he went on to win, is

0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:29.000
<v Speaker 1>still a US Senator and is regularly on committees where

0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:31.320
<v Speaker 1>he lectures people about this and that about the military

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:36.760
<v Speaker 1>when he was out there completely lying about having fought

0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:39.720
<v Speaker 1>in the biggest war of his generation. It's just that's

0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:44.200
<v Speaker 1>the politics couldn't be worse, I know, and you hear

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:48.040
<v Speaker 1>crap like that. You people want more government, bigger government,

0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the government to have more power, be in charge of

0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:52.240
<v Speaker 1>more things. Who do you think the government is.

0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:57.640
<v Speaker 3>It's Dick Blumenthal and many many like him.

0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Unbelievable. Is incredible, That is incredible. I mean, there are

0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:09.760
<v Speaker 1>really hum misplaced words. There are zero standards for anything.

0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:15.560
<v Speaker 1>You get to lecture people about patriotism or honesty or

0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:17.400
<v Speaker 1>the military this or that when you were out there

0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:21.560
<v Speaker 1>completely lying about that. It's amazing anyway, whatever, that's an

0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:23.840
<v Speaker 1>old story, that one that ship. That ship has left

0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:27.879
<v Speaker 1>the station. What's interesting is that the guy still in

0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the Senate and has power and people who just kind

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:31.600
<v Speaker 1>of let it go by the wayside. That's what I'm saying.

0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:34.000
<v Speaker 1>That train has sailed. I mean that people apparently don't

0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:35.400
<v Speaker 1>care about that. Well.

0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:37.760
<v Speaker 3>And it's not like he claimed he played for the Dodgers.

0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:39.920
<v Speaker 3>He claimed he served in Vietnam.

0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Right, Oh, for God's sake, anyway, this was an odd

0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:49.600
<v Speaker 1>moment with Ted Cruz and good hold Homespun, John Kennedy

0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:51.200
<v Speaker 1>and Pam Bondi.

0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.080
<v Speaker 2>And I'll point out Senator Kennedy has a new book

0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:55.880
<v Speaker 2>about testing negative for stupid.

0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:58.359
<v Speaker 1>So I hope I test negative for stupid. I hope

0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:00.760
<v Speaker 1>I meet the threshold of you Do you meet it?

0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:03.920
<v Speaker 2>And I'm talk in the book about the tattoo of

0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:05.680
<v Speaker 2>the Backstreet Boys on your back.

0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Look, I can't help that you don't want to reach

0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:12.760
<v Speaker 1>young people. I think young people of the future, damn it.

0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:15.480
<v Speaker 2>And I'll do whatever steps are being Backstreet.

0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:21.240
<v Speaker 7>Boys that would be on Vice President Vance's playlist.

0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:30.119
<v Speaker 1>I heard that got hacked yesterday. Yeah, yeah, like I said,

0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:36.520
<v Speaker 1>just entertaining us all get out. Wow. Wow. So to

0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:37.800
<v Speaker 1>the topic of the hearing.

0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:44.240
<v Speaker 3>I've been trying to decide because there there is a

0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:48.120
<v Speaker 3>certain amount of the Justice Department weaponization that's more open

0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:51.480
<v Speaker 3>and aggressive than it's been in the past. On the

0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:55.320
<v Speaker 3>other hand, there's been plenty of open aggressive weaponization of

0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:57.920
<v Speaker 3>the Justice Department in the past, just the media ignored it.

0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I mentioned, agreed it. I don't think I'm

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:03.920
<v Speaker 1>allowed to post it. I know I'm not allowed to

0:23:03.920 --> 0:23:06.560
<v Speaker 1>post it. But so Mark Halprin in his newsletter a

0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:08.880
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks ago, when this story first bubbled up,

0:23:09.200 --> 0:23:12.040
<v Speaker 1>he laid out all of the lawfare that has gone

0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:15.280
<v Speaker 1>on from the Justice Department at the behest of a

0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:19.880
<v Speaker 1>president since the early nineties. I mean, it's just a

0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:23.840
<v Speaker 1>common thing. It doesn't mean it's good. It's just getting

0:23:23.920 --> 0:23:26.000
<v Speaker 1>more and more common over the years. And you know,

0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:29.879
<v Speaker 1>it's more blatant now, but it's been happening for a very,

0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:33.760
<v Speaker 1>very long time. It is not a new phenomenon, right right.

0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:37.160
<v Speaker 3>And it's difficult as conservatives because the referee is on

0:23:37.160 --> 0:23:41.720
<v Speaker 3>one team's side, meaning, you know, the mainstream media. Although

0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:47.200
<v Speaker 3>it's worth repeating every so often that if you're under forty, especially,

0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:51.040
<v Speaker 3>you do not get your news from mainstream media.

0:23:51.119 --> 0:23:54.800
<v Speaker 1>You get it online from TikTok and and whatever the

0:23:54.840 --> 0:24:00.280
<v Speaker 1>algorithms feed you, which is probably worse. But anyway, Yeah,

0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:02.800
<v Speaker 1>so you have the refs just calling penalties on one side,

0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:05.359
<v Speaker 1>and I can't. There's part of me that thinks, you know,

0:24:06.119 --> 0:24:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Trump is almost doing us a service by bringing this

0:24:08.600 --> 0:24:12.480
<v Speaker 1>out into the open and saying, all right, you did

0:24:12.480 --> 0:24:13.800
<v Speaker 1>it to me, now I'm going to do it to you.

0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:17.960
<v Speaker 1>How do you like it? Because if sanity prevailed, if

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:21.280
<v Speaker 1>there were adults in charge, we'd all say, okay, all right, everybody,

0:24:21.280 --> 0:24:24.200
<v Speaker 1>it's time to back off. Let's all agree this is unproductive,

0:24:24.200 --> 0:24:25.840
<v Speaker 1>it's bad for the country, blah blah blah.

0:24:25.880 --> 0:24:29.000
<v Speaker 3>But I don't think those adults are in the room anymore,

0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:36.159
<v Speaker 3>with especially with the greatest Satan, perhaps the greatest devil

0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:41.520
<v Speaker 3>that was ever unleashed on the American politics. Small dollar

0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:49.480
<v Speaker 3>donations online, you get nothing donated to you for saying, hey,

0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:53.359
<v Speaker 3>it's time for us to remember our principles and and

0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:57.760
<v Speaker 3>and this weaponization of the Justice Department or the justice system.

0:24:58.160 --> 0:25:00.960
<v Speaker 1>We need to have a high bar separation blah blah.

0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:05.199
<v Speaker 1>You'll get twenty dollars chi chain donated online. But if

0:25:05.280 --> 0:25:07.080
<v Speaker 1>you say Donald Trump is hitler and he needs to

0:25:07.119 --> 0:25:09.760
<v Speaker 1>be in jail somebody, you'll pour in. Or if you

0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 1>said I think you should die, and I'd crap on

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:15.760
<v Speaker 1>your grave, you'd take thousands and thousands of dollars, Yes,

0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:18.359
<v Speaker 1>and you'd run for attorney general in Virginia. Yes.

0:25:19.440 --> 0:25:22.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So I just I don't know where the salvation is.

0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:25.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't mean to be discouraging. You are you're discovered. No,

0:25:25.480 --> 0:25:29.439
<v Speaker 3>I am, Well I'm discouraged. I can't help it. So

0:25:29.520 --> 0:25:31.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm going up the media big clowns itself. Yes, and

0:25:31.800 --> 0:25:33.040
<v Speaker 3>I want to mention this every hour.

0:25:33.160 --> 0:25:36.840
<v Speaker 1>So one of the lead stories everywhere is how lots

0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:39.600
<v Speaker 1>of flights are being canceled or delayed. Uh, and then

0:25:39.640 --> 0:25:41.679
<v Speaker 1>they're going to talk to people in airports. Yeah, my

0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:43.600
<v Speaker 1>wife had to drive up and get me because they

0:25:43.600 --> 0:25:46.360
<v Speaker 1>canceled this flight blah blah blah because the air traffic controllers

0:25:46.400 --> 0:25:49.600
<v Speaker 1>government shut down blah blah blah, without ever mentioning they

0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:51.920
<v Speaker 1>haven't missed a paycheck, they haven't missed a set yet.

0:25:52.119 --> 0:25:54.480
<v Speaker 1>If they're not going to work, it's purely a political move,

0:25:54.560 --> 0:25:57.280
<v Speaker 1>all right, It is not because you can you can

0:25:57.280 --> 0:25:59.880
<v Speaker 1>have the air traffic controller on there talking about child cared.

0:25:59.880 --> 0:26:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I got kids and my wife and house payment cover.

0:26:02.119 --> 0:26:04.560
<v Speaker 1>You haven't missed any money yet, all right, and not

0:26:04.680 --> 0:26:07.080
<v Speaker 1>until the fourteenth when the next check comes out. Has

0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:09.119
<v Speaker 1>anybody missed a dime? That's an important part of the

0:26:09.160 --> 0:26:15.240
<v Speaker 1>story in my opinion, right right, yeah, So that excuse me.

0:26:16.040 --> 0:26:18.280
<v Speaker 3>Also, we need to get to some of the more

0:26:18.440 --> 0:26:24.119
<v Speaker 3>serious speeches and chants at the pro Hamas rallies around

0:26:24.119 --> 0:26:30.639
<v Speaker 3>the country yesterday on the anniversary of the brutal murder, torture, rape, abduction,

0:26:31.480 --> 0:26:35.639
<v Speaker 3>slaughter of innocent kids at a music festival. The side

0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:39.080
<v Speaker 3>that did that was supported by lots of young people

0:26:39.080 --> 0:26:41.679
<v Speaker 3>in the street, Queer's for Palestine.

0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Among other things. The things they said, we'll get to

0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:48.960
<v Speaker 1>that before long as well. Cool. All that's on the way.

0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Got to put on my Dodger's at Dodgers play today

0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:55.560
<v Speaker 1>at home. I got to get my Dodgers at I'm

0:26:55.600 --> 0:27:01.480
<v Speaker 1>on the bandwagon bandwagon jumper. Fake fan boo oo a

0:27:01.640 --> 0:27:04.760
<v Speaker 1>term I do not recognize fake fan as opposed to

0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:07.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what that means. Why the Brewers are

0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:09.680
<v Speaker 1>beating up on my cubbies. I think Brewers are headed

0:27:09.720 --> 0:27:12.320
<v Speaker 1>for the World Series, but we shall see. It's not

0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:14.560
<v Speaker 1>they play the games. Jack, not good for ratings, I'll

0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:17.680
<v Speaker 1>tell you that. Uh no, no good Baal team though,

0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:27.920
<v Speaker 1>So welcome to the major media. Be clown themselves. That's

0:27:28.000 --> 0:27:29.560
<v Speaker 1>enough of that music, Michael is annoying.

0:27:30.280 --> 0:27:31.920
<v Speaker 3>So I came across a couple of stories in a

0:27:32.000 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 3>row during my rigorous preparations for the show today, Jack.

0:27:35.680 --> 0:27:38.040
<v Speaker 1>That for some reason, that music and the circus and

0:27:38.040 --> 0:27:40.080
<v Speaker 1>everything like that reminded me of the Jerry Seinfeld bit

0:27:40.119 --> 0:27:45.520
<v Speaker 1>where he says, what is this? What is going on here?

0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:53.119
<v Speaker 1>Right right? Describing the acts? Is anybody enjoying this? Katie

0:27:53.160 --> 0:27:54.720
<v Speaker 1>mentioned to us off the air, Katie, are you a

0:27:54.880 --> 0:28:00.960
<v Speaker 1>handy that her ex went to clown college or something? Yeah,

0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:04.200
<v Speaker 1>he went to clown school. Your excellent school boyfriend went

0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:08.560
<v Speaker 1>to clown school. He could juggle like nobody's business. Is

0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:10.119
<v Speaker 1>that what attracted you to him? Or did he do

0:28:10.160 --> 0:28:12.040
<v Speaker 1>this after you? Well, you dumped him and he just

0:28:12.080 --> 0:28:14.040
<v Speaker 1>he went off on a bender and ended up in

0:28:14.040 --> 0:28:14.639
<v Speaker 1>clown school.

0:28:14.760 --> 0:28:14.920
<v Speaker 5>Oh.

0:28:14.960 --> 0:28:17.280
<v Speaker 1>This was something I learned while we were dating, okay,

0:28:17.480 --> 0:28:21.320
<v Speaker 1>and was that a red flag, as they say, it

0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:23.160
<v Speaker 1>was just kind of it was more like a why

0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't really any further? Was it an ongoing effort at

0:28:28.560 --> 0:28:31.639
<v Speaker 1>the time? Or yeah? Was that in his hazy past?

0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:34.879
<v Speaker 1>It was. It went to a bunch of different kind

0:28:34.920 --> 0:28:38.320
<v Speaker 1>of like art schools, and clown school was one of them. Yeah,

0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:41.120
<v Speaker 1>did he wear the college clown grad school? Did he

0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:45.600
<v Speaker 1>wear use red nose, all of it? Well, he was committed.

0:28:45.680 --> 0:28:49.720
<v Speaker 1>You got to admire that. Nice. You got a dream big? Yeah? Interesting,

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Well you wanted to be a circus performer as a kid, right, Jack?

0:28:52.600 --> 0:28:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I did. I did, But I was a child. I

0:28:54.200 --> 0:28:56.360
<v Speaker 1>was not a grown man, not a twenty one year

0:28:56.400 --> 0:28:58.680
<v Speaker 1>old man. No, would he like put his hand upon

0:28:58.720 --> 0:28:59.920
<v Speaker 1>his back and all of a sudden give a book

0:29:00.040 --> 0:29:02.040
<v Speaker 1>of roses that was made out of a balloon? Oh yeah,

0:29:02.040 --> 0:29:04.600
<v Speaker 1>and like thirty eight handkerchiefs coming out of his pants.

0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:05.840
<v Speaker 1>You know it's crazy.

0:29:06.320 --> 0:29:10.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh hey, speaking of Wisconsin, as we were, I roadied

0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:14.840
<v Speaker 3>for a summer for a band called Jugular that with

0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:17.760
<v Speaker 3>two g's and they played.

0:29:17.520 --> 0:29:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Like, ah, what would you call like Kenny g Jazz,

0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:26.600
<v Speaker 1>but more upbeat than that, more rockin than that, And

0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:31.440
<v Speaker 1>had a couple of jugglers what a musical juggling act.

0:29:31.520 --> 0:29:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Wait a second, is this a real story? And how

0:29:33.200 --> 0:29:35.920
<v Speaker 1>if I've never heard this before? You roaded for a

0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:40.120
<v Speaker 1>combination Kenny G juggling act? Well, Kenny G, if you

0:29:40.120 --> 0:29:46.280
<v Speaker 1>had balls man? Yes? Yes? What? Yeah? And they were

0:29:46.400 --> 0:29:49.400
<v Speaker 1>nice people too, and I near the year around listens

0:29:49.440 --> 0:29:52.520
<v Speaker 1>to the show drank free beer. What was the audience like?

0:29:53.280 --> 0:29:57.480
<v Speaker 1>They played music festivals like we did. They played the

0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Milwaukee Summerfest but like middies women are walking to tie

0:30:02.200 --> 0:30:04.440
<v Speaker 1>in which I had failed to make and I apologize

0:30:04.440 --> 0:30:06.840
<v Speaker 1>for that. Who was digging these slightly more up tempo

0:30:06.920 --> 0:30:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Kenny G with juggling act the Drunks in the sun?

0:30:11.440 --> 0:30:14.600
<v Speaker 1>It appeared okay people in a music for us. They

0:30:14.600 --> 0:30:20.200
<v Speaker 1>were very very good, but again more more like your

0:30:20.720 --> 0:30:27.360
<v Speaker 1>fusion funk jazz kind of melodic. So Wisconsin was home

0:30:27.520 --> 0:30:30.920
<v Speaker 1>of the Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey circus summer. Uh,

0:30:31.360 --> 0:30:35.360
<v Speaker 1>that's where they camped in the summer and getting ready

0:30:35.440 --> 0:30:38.240
<v Speaker 1>for the year. And we went a couple of times,

0:30:38.280 --> 0:30:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I think when I was a kid, and you'd watch

0:30:39.680 --> 0:30:41.440
<v Speaker 1>them practice and do other stuff, and that that's where

0:30:41.440 --> 0:30:43.760
<v Speaker 1>they would like, you know, it's like training camp for

0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:46.120
<v Speaker 1>football teams was like training camp for the circus, And

0:30:46.160 --> 0:30:48.320
<v Speaker 1>they would do their high wire act and they're juggling

0:30:48.320 --> 0:30:50.440
<v Speaker 1>and all their different things. They're getting ready to yeh.

0:30:50.880 --> 0:30:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Little did the bearded lady know that Bearded Ladies would

0:30:53.640 --> 0:30:59.720
<v Speaker 1>soon be a diamond dozen poor confused kids. Anyway, Ah,

0:30:59.840 --> 0:31:03.000
<v Speaker 1>sock to the media thing.

0:31:03.960 --> 0:31:06.240
<v Speaker 3>You've probably heard the story about the des Moines, Iowa

0:31:06.320 --> 0:31:09.960
<v Speaker 3>superintendent who turned out to be an illegal immigrant and

0:31:10.040 --> 0:31:15.400
<v Speaker 3>a gun total nut, and also didn't have the degrees

0:31:15.440 --> 0:31:18.400
<v Speaker 3>he claimed to. Well, the New York Times had a

0:31:18.440 --> 0:31:21.760
<v Speaker 3>big featured story on it, and I thought, yeah, okay.

0:31:22.120 --> 0:31:27.800
<v Speaker 3>The headline that caught me. The superintendent's bio seemed too

0:31:27.880 --> 0:31:31.560
<v Speaker 3>good to be true. It was Ian Roberts rose through

0:31:31.600 --> 0:31:34.600
<v Speaker 3>the ranks of American education with talent charman a riveting backstory.

0:31:34.640 --> 0:31:37.680
<v Speaker 3>He was also hiding a shocking secret. I thought, oh,

0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:39.440
<v Speaker 3>this is remarkable for the New York Times, and then

0:31:39.480 --> 0:31:43.920
<v Speaker 3>I read their unintentionally self beclowning story.

0:31:44.440 --> 0:31:45.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to read you the lead here.

0:31:46.040 --> 0:31:48.959
<v Speaker 3>School district leaders in Des Moines drew up a detailed

0:31:49.000 --> 0:31:51.360
<v Speaker 3>wish list when they set out to hire a new

0:31:51.400 --> 0:31:55.680
<v Speaker 3>superintendent in twenty twenty three. They wanted someone who could

0:31:55.680 --> 0:32:01.800
<v Speaker 3>increase reading scores. That's great, perfect prove the math skills

0:32:01.800 --> 0:32:07.120
<v Speaker 3>of black boys. Why black boys in particular, Probably because

0:32:07.160 --> 0:32:07.720
<v Speaker 3>they were bad.

0:32:07.800 --> 0:32:10.560
<v Speaker 1>You'd think they would be worried about everybody. But that's fine,

0:32:10.640 --> 0:32:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I get it.

0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:15.400
<v Speaker 3>But in their three point description of what they're looking for,

0:32:15.480 --> 0:32:19.080
<v Speaker 3>point number three is adhere to an affirmative action plan.

0:32:19.680 --> 0:32:20.960
<v Speaker 1>And much more.

0:32:22.040 --> 0:32:26.320
<v Speaker 3>Most of all, you've got a short list of qualities

0:32:26.360 --> 0:32:30.240
<v Speaker 3>the person must bring to education, and item number three

0:32:30.280 --> 0:32:35.200
<v Speaker 3>is adhere to an affirmative action plan. Wow, most of all,

0:32:35.600 --> 0:32:39.200
<v Speaker 3>and well, ironically you know this guy's story. But most

0:32:39.240 --> 0:32:41.600
<v Speaker 3>of all, des Moines Public Schools needed a galvanizing leader

0:32:41.600 --> 0:32:43.800
<v Speaker 3>who could meet a moment shaped by the aftermath of

0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:47.400
<v Speaker 3>COVID and the racial justice movement of twenty twenty. Wait

0:32:47.440 --> 0:32:51.360
<v Speaker 3>a minute, Wait a minute, Why does any school district

0:32:51.440 --> 0:32:55.880
<v Speaker 3>in America worry about affirmative action plans and the racial

0:32:56.120 --> 0:33:01.680
<v Speaker 3>justice movement of twenty twenty. This is an indictment of

0:33:01.800 --> 0:33:05.680
<v Speaker 3>des Moines Schools. Anyway, his application seemed almost too perfect.

0:33:05.720 --> 0:33:07.840
<v Speaker 3>Spent most of his career in urban school systems.

0:33:07.880 --> 0:33:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Charismatic HANDSID administrator, wrote books, gave speeches, boasted of degrees

0:33:11.840 --> 0:33:15.440
<v Speaker 1>from brand name universities. His life story was compelling, an

0:33:15.480 --> 0:33:18.120
<v Speaker 1>immigrant from Guiana who competed in the Olympics and spoke

0:33:18.160 --> 0:33:20.720
<v Speaker 1>bluntly about his experiences as a black man in the

0:33:20.800 --> 0:33:26.360
<v Speaker 1>United States. But then the next weird part, they were

0:33:26.360 --> 0:33:29.960
<v Speaker 1>in love with this guy. I wanted to hire him. Ah,

0:33:30.120 --> 0:33:31.480
<v Speaker 1>red flags would pop up.

0:33:31.640 --> 0:33:34.840
<v Speaker 3>The district learned about a past brush with law enforcement

0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:37.720
<v Speaker 3>and a misstatement on his resume about where he had

0:33:37.720 --> 0:33:38.560
<v Speaker 3>earned a doctorate.

0:33:40.760 --> 0:33:44.360
<v Speaker 1>He just completely lied about his degrees. How New York

0:33:44.400 --> 0:33:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Times is that a misstatement on your resume? Wow?

0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:51.600
<v Speaker 3>So did they do this story like apples? But the

0:33:51.680 --> 0:33:54.840
<v Speaker 3>Moines officials moved ahead to hire him anyway. Yeah, that's

0:33:54.880 --> 0:33:55.920
<v Speaker 3>the punchline to the story.

0:33:55.960 --> 0:33:57.840
<v Speaker 1>As they found out that his PhD was fake and

0:33:57.840 --> 0:33:59.880
<v Speaker 1>then he was a liar and scam artist and they

0:34:00.000 --> 0:34:04.000
<v Speaker 1>fired him anyway, which is just crazy. Yeah, and they

0:34:04.040 --> 0:34:06.200
<v Speaker 1>said he was a US citizen, turns out he was not,

0:34:06.320 --> 0:34:08.840
<v Speaker 1>which to me is the least of the problems here. Yeah,

0:34:08.880 --> 0:34:12.080
<v Speaker 1>in this story, it's just amazing. Then this story from

0:34:12.320 --> 0:34:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes how much time we got Michael one minute? Can

0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:19.680
<v Speaker 1>we jam this in here real quick? This clip from

0:34:19.719 --> 0:34:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Stephen Pinker, it's really short, Hero to the left, Finker,

0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Stephen Pinker on DEI. That's Clip ten.

0:34:28.640 --> 0:34:31.560
<v Speaker 8>You know, I have nothing against diversity, equity and inclusion,

0:34:31.680 --> 0:34:36.240
<v Speaker 8>but you know, as Voltaire said about the Holy Roman Empire,

0:34:36.280 --> 0:34:39.160
<v Speaker 8>it was neither holy nor Roman nor an empire. And

0:34:39.400 --> 0:34:45.720
<v Speaker 8>diversity equity inclusion is imposes an intellectual monoculture. It favors

0:34:45.719 --> 0:34:48.399
<v Speaker 8>certain groups over others, and it has a long list

0:34:48.440 --> 0:34:51.680
<v Speaker 8>of offenses that mean you can be excluded.

0:34:52.120 --> 0:34:54.239
<v Speaker 1>Good for Stephen Pinker saying that out loud to an

0:34:54.239 --> 0:34:56.200
<v Speaker 1>audience that didn't want to hear it, because that leads

0:34:56.239 --> 0:34:57.719
<v Speaker 1>to the sort of crap you just heard with that

0:34:58.400 --> 0:35:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Des Moines educator, and.

0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:05.040
<v Speaker 3>He was clearly a DEI higher himself. Diversity means more Marxists,

0:35:05.239 --> 0:35:08.920
<v Speaker 3>Equity means Marxism. Inclusion means including more Marxists. I didn't

0:35:08.920 --> 0:35:11.040
<v Speaker 3>get to story number two in the media be clowning

0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:14.719
<v Speaker 3>themselves the Wall Street Journal writing about the government shutdown.

0:35:14.719 --> 0:35:17.560
<v Speaker 3>It is ironic and amusing. We'll get to it next hour.

0:35:17.600 --> 0:35:20.560
