00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty Armstrong.

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 2: And Getty and no Pee Armstrong and Getty Strong and.

4
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 3: We continue to be on vacation, but I hope you're

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 3: enjoying the leftovers. That's what we call the best of

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 3: Armstrong in getting Oh what a vacation it's been. I

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 3: begged Judy for years to get me a pony. She

8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: finally did. Crapped on the carpet, it ate the drapes.

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 3: It was just a mistake. Be careful what you wish for. Anyway,

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 3: I enjoy this Armstrong and Getty replay well.

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: The Business News.

12
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 3: Target has a new ten to four policy, which requires

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 3: employees within ten feet of customers to smile and wave,

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 3: and employees within four feet to start a conversation.

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: Customers like what happens within one foot? Right now, every

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: Target employee's goals is at least.

17
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 3: Eleven feet away from smile.

18
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: Nothing wrong with that. I a fair number.

19
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: Of Target employees, at least my local Target, who don't

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 3: really want to have to answer any questions and are

21
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: just trying to finish stock on the shelf and why

22
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 3: don't you leave me alone? That said somebody I think

23
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 3: maybe have picked up on that and decided, Hey, if

24
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 3: there's a customer near.

25
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: You, you need to smile. I don't want. I don't

26
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: think it employeed to ever be within four feet of me.

27
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: That's pretty close. That's like arm's length. How about that

28
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: close to you, maam? I'm squeezing past them for some

29
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 3: reason in that scenario. Yeah, and if you get within

30
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: two feet, I want you to laugh uproariously. All right,

31
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: now get to work. So we did this story yesterday.

32
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: There have been some better arguments on the internet as.

33
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: To the.

34
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: Not the authenticity of these numbers, but the way they're portrayed.

35
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: Going to give the new version of this, but it's

36
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: still really bad. So you see, San Diego had to

37
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 3: add a second remedial math class because they've got so

38
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: many people coming in who can't do math.

39
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 2: Before we get to the stats, how about this one.

40
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 3: Universities in our country get thirty times more government cash

41
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 3: than they did in the fifties. That's inflation adjusted, thirty

42
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: times as much money going to universities from taxpayers than

43
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: in the fifties. And we all know for a fact

44
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: that the results are much less. We're probably churning out

45
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: college graduates that were similarly ish to high school graduates

46
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 3: in the fifties.

47
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 2: Probably not even that right.

48
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh, by the way, later on campus maddeness update,

49
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 3: including the hilarious controversy at Harvard over there the university saying, yeah,

50
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 3: we got to start having grades. Everybody gets a's all

51
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 3: the time. We got to stop that. And the little snowflakes,

52
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 3: you're going crazy over it. Anyway, that's for another time. Yeah, great,

53
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 3: inflation is one of the reasons for what they think

54
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: happened here. The report shows that nearly one in five

55
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: students you see San Diego failed to meet entry level

56
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: writing requirements one in five. The deterioration goes across many across,

57
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: goes across many different you know, reading, math, science, all

58
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 3: that sort of stuff. But the report focuses on the

59
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: client in math skills. Skills in particular, they recently tested

60
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 3: a group of their students. Now it's originally portrayed, and

61
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 3: I'm not exactly sure which is true. Is originally portrayed

62
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: as this was all students entering you see San Diego.

63
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: The correction on x Twitter is that it only applies

64
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: to the kids that are in these remedial math classes. Okay,

65
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: that would be better, But even if it's true, it's stunning.

66
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: How do you have remedial math classes at a major

67
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 3: university where you get these results? Eighty seven percent of

68
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: them can do grade one math? One hundred thirteen percent

69
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 3: of the people in your remedial math class that can't

70
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 3: do first grade math?

71
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: How the hell did you get into the university?

72
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: Well, and we're not talking about you know, Jones County

73
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: Community College. This is the University of California at San Diego,

74
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: an alleged elite university. And I remember back in my

75
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: applying to university days, the idea that you can't do

76
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: math up to the standards of a six year old,

77
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 3: you would not have gotten in on any program.

78
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: Well, how'd you get out of high school? How'd you

79
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: get out of first grade?

80
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 3: Well, so, again, I'm not sure which is true, whether

81
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 3: this was all the students or just the remedial.

82
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: Math classes, but even best case scenario, it's horrifying.

83
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 3: So eighty two percent of a could do second grade math,

84
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 3: only three quarters could do third grade math.

85
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: What are you in third grade? Eight years old? Eight

86
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: or nine? Yeah, what are you doing in third grade.

87
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 3: Multiparas a quarter of you, I don't think you're into

88
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 3: multiplication tables yet. But anyway, even if you are, you're

89
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 3: at a university of college campus. Yeah, at a quarter

90
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 3: of you can't do that, So a third can't do

91
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: fourth grade math. You get into about fifty that can

92
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: do fifth grade math. About fifty percent can't do fifth

93
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: grade math. That would be like multiplication and long division stuff.

94
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I've just I've got a fifth grader recently. Yeah, yeah, so,

95
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: I mean it ain't hard stuff. I mean it's pretty

96
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 3: damned remedial. And half the kids all accepted into the

97
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: university having graduated high school, I assume can't do math

98
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: at that level.

99
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: You get to eighth grade math.

100
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: Only nineteen percent of people could do eighth grade math,

101
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: but they were admitted to a major allegedly elite university.

102
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: Why is it a dei thing? Is it?

103
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 3: I mean, the the like the social grievance studies programs.

104
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: You don't need any preparation. You're there to sit and

105
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: be indoctrinated, so you don't need to leave it to

106
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: bring any skill to the table or any skill set.

107
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 2: I mean the why.

108
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: Is Almost as interesting a question is the how the

109
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 3: f although I think we know how the heck this happened.

110
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: More on that in a moment, on all education stuff,

111
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 3: the educators have the out of blaming the pandemic, and

112
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 3: there is a dip in the pandemic crowd. But as

113
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 3: we talked about a couple of weeks ago when the

114
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 3: nation's report card came out, the trend lines were down

115
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 3: for decades before the pandemic. It accelerated a little during

116
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: the pandemic, and now it continues to go down.

117
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: So we're head of that direction. Anyway.

118
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 3: That's a bad way out of this conversation to claim

119
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 3: it was the pandemic. Another reason, according to this researcher,

120
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: is the elimination of standardized test requirements, which helped schools

121
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: claim everybody's up to grade level and they can pass

122
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: everybody and get the government funding they want. And with

123
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: high school grade inflation, where the percentage of people.

124
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: To get a's and b's is skyrocketed.

125
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 3: Over the years, not that the abilities have skyrocketed, just

126
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 3: the number of a's and b's that they hand out right,

127
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 3: and the whole social promotion thing where you get moved

128
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 3: on to the next grade, no matter if you learned

129
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: anything or not. And then at the point that I mean,

130
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 3: because math in particular, you build your next skill is

131
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: built on the foundation.

132
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 2: Of your previously learned skills.

133
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 3: Mostly and so yeah, if you got out of third

134
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 3: grade not having mastered or come close to third grade math,

135
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: you are finished as a person learning math. In most cases,

136
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: this is a California thing, but not surprising. A major cause,

137
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 3: according to this person, Steve Maguire, a major cause that

138
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 3: you see SD in particular, they point to a significant

139
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 3: increase in students admitted from LCFF. That's Local Control Funding

140
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 3: Formula schools, which are California public schools in which seventy

141
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: five percent of the school's total enrollment is composed of

142
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 3: students who identified as either eligible for free or reduced

143
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 3: price meals, or English lunars or foster youth. So these

144
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 3: are schools with either troubled kids or poor kids or whatever,

145
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 3: and you have to admit a whole bunch of them

146
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 3: because you know, equity and inequity and all these different

147
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 3: sorts of things, thereby setting them up to fail miserably

148
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 3: in college because they are at a place they can't

149
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 3: cut it. Two choices, and Roland Frar, the Gray Harvard

150
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 3: Economy black man Coleman Hughes. Another great Black thinker, Thomas Soel,

151
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 3: has pointed this out all sorts of people have. The

152
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 3: worst thing you can do is take a kid unprepared

153
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 3: and throw them into the shark tank of an elite

154
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 3: university because they can't handle it. I mean, there's the

155
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 3: worst thing you can fail. I think there's a worst

156
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: thing you can do. Pass them through the university, give

157
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 3: them a degree, and then send them out in the

158
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 3: world with them thinking I'll be able to support myself.

159
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 3: I'll be able to pay off these enormous debts because

160
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 3: I have an important and valuable university degree having been

161
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 3: defrauded by the university.

162
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 2: And that's what I was going to get to. So

163
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: you have two choices.

164
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 3: Number one, throw them in the shark tank is described

165
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 3: moments ago or two, so inflate grades that the kids

166
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 3: get through the university having been totally unprepared, doing very

167
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: little work and learning almost nothing.

168
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 2: My god, we need to tear this down to the studs.

169
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: And this gets to what you're talking about yesterday. Then

170
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 3: you get these college graduates who don't.

171
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: Know that they got a bad education. How would you

172
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: know that.

173
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 3: They think they got a college education just like their

174
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: parents and grandparents did, and look at the results that

175
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 3: they got, and now I can't get a job. It

176
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: must be capitalism, it must be the system. And that's

177
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 3: why people voted for Momdani. Yeah, as we've pointed out

178
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 3: in that brilliant essay, we had a couple of days ago. Yeah,

179
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 3: they get out into the free market. They were told

180
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 3: that they had skills worth a certain amount, at least

181
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 3: enough to pay off their college debt. And when it

182
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 3: turns out that no, they actually have a worthless degree,

183
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 3: they're not told that. They're told capitalism is the problem.

184
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 3: The system is the problem. It's exploitive and in a

185
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 3: very closely related story, I mean, it's the same story.

186
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 3: After the break, I want to bring you news of

187
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 3: American Federation of Teachers Presidents Randy Weingarten's new book. I

188
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 3: do want to talk about that, but as just it

189
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 3: just popped in my head what you're always saying, we

190
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: need to go way back earlier in the development of

191
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 3: kids to deal with these situations. Dealing with it at

192
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 3: the point you're at the university, what how did you

193
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: get out of fifth grade not being able to do

194
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 3: first grade math? Right, Well, how'd you get out of

195
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 3: first grade without being able to do first grade math

196
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 3: back when I was a kid.

197
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: I mean, it's nuts.

198
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: So you graduated, how'd you get out of high school?

199
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 3: You can't do first grade math?

200
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: Right?

201
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 3: Right, So the left and the teachers unions would have

202
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 3: us failed these kids from age five through eighteen, completely

203
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 3: failed them while they feather their own nest, and then

204
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 3: make it all up at age eighteen as they're admitted

205
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 3: into an elite university that is perverse.

206
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 2: It's idiotic.

207
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong and Joe the Armstrong and Getty Show.

208
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 3: Congress is back in session. Summer is over, school has restarted.

209
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 3: Life is serious again. The frivolity of summer is over.

210
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 3: No more hot daw ugs and beer and laying around,

211
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 3: no more brat girl summer or whatever the hell that is.

212
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 3: Time to get serious.

213
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

214
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 3: So the story behind the story of the whole Britain

215
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 3: is going to have children vote now is the lefty party.

216
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: The Labor Party thought, hey, this is a great idea

217
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: because kids will fall for anything.

218
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: But then a far lefty party emerged and said, yeah, no,

219
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 3: we're even crazier than you, and the kids will flock

220
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 3: to us. And according to the polls, they're right.

221
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 2: Probably. Yeah, it's because they're.

222
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: Selling childlike fantasies of what the government ought to do. Yeah, cure.

223
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: If you're a normal Democrat in the United States, you

224
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 3: would not want sixteen year olds to vote because they

225
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 3: would all become Bernie AOC types. Right, right, So I

226
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: found this very interesting ask to rate their life satisfaction

227
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 3: on a scale of zero to ten, Girls in Britain

228
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 3: nearly twice as likely as boys to choose an answer between.

229
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: Zero and three.

230
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 3: What was the question, rate your life satisfaction on scals

231
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: zero between zero and three. Yeah, twice as many girls

232
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 3: as boys. On the other end of the scale, fifty

233
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 3: eight percent of boys rate their life satisfaction as seven

234
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 3: out of ten or higher, compared with only thirty seven

235
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 3: percent of the girls.

236
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: Man, if you're saying.

237
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 3: Your life satisfaction between zero and three, you need a

238
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 3: dose of perspective.

239
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

240
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 3: According to the poll by the think tank that there's

241
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: a gender split in other things too, boys are nearly

242
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: twice as likely to support right wing parties as girls.

243
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 3: Keeping in mind, right wing in Britain is fairly moderate right.

244
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 3: Some forty five percent of boys age sixteen seventeen would

245
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 3: vote for one of the more conservative parties. Forty five

246
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 3: to twenty four of the girls the super lefty.

247
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 2: Let's see is well, it's the reverse.

248
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 3: More than a third say they sympathize more with the

249
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 3: Palestinian side and the Gaza war. Nine percent side with Israel.

250
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 3: Almost half. That's that's a very British thing to ask.

251
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 3: That's almost a quarter of the sixteen and seventeen year

252
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 3: olds say they suffered from anxiety.

253
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 2: Thirty four percent among the girls. That's probably accurate.

254
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 3: Nearly three and five said they had stayed home from

255
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 3: school due to anxiety. Wow, sixty percent of the kids

256
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 3: say they stayed home for anxiety when I was in school.

257
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 3: When you're in school, that would be roughly zero zero

258
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 3: people stayed home from school for anxiety. Sixty nine percent

259
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 3: of the girls h Forty eight percent of the boys

260
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 3: more than four and ten spend more than six hours

261
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 3: a day on their phone. Six and nine percent spend

262
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 3: more than ten hours.

263
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 2: Says a guy who probably spends eight hours a day

264
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 2: on his pumm that number.

265
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 3: Seven out of ten girls have stayed home from school

266
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: from anxiety and just that that great sex divide of

267
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 3: girls like women in the US because we don't let

268
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 3: children vote, are way way farther left than the boys

269
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 3: politically speaking. So would you guess this is an experiment

270
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 3: that will be done away with letting children vote or

271
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 3: I'm leaning toward this. Once you give that age group

272
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 3: the right to vote, it will never go away.

273
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: I'll be no getting rid of it. I don't know,

274
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 2: that's a great question.

275
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 3: I think it might be one of those things that

276
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 3: rectivizes itself, rectifies itself over the long term, because it

277
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 3: will be a miserable, miserable failure.

278
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 2: But it takes so long.

279
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 3: I mean, it's like, how long did San Francisco take

280
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 3: to come around? I just happen to be reading that

281
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 3: their commercial real estate situation has really turned around now

282
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 3: partly because of it, well largely because of AI, but

283
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 3: in the streets of San Francisco much cleaner, the bum

284
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 3: junkie camps far fewer and smaller. San Francisco's really turned

285
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 3: itself around. Credit where it's due. But how long did

286
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 3: that take?

287
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah? But I don't stand years and years and years.

288
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 3: Of the failure being just everybody could see a miserable

289
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 3: a failure. All those policies were, but in this particular case,

290
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 3: you give the sixteen and seventeen year olds the right

291
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 3: to vote, I don't see how you'd ever get rid

292
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 3: of it. It's going to change the politics so drastically,

293
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 3: so quickly.

294
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 2: How would you ever end up with a majority that

295
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: wants to do away with it?

296
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 3: Oh wow, that's an interesting point. Yeah, it's a perpetual

297
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 3: motion machine. Yeah, I don't know my last I think

298
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 3: that could be one of the most disastrous experiments ever conducted. Yes,

299
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 3: I agree, this could be huge unless these sixteen year

300
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 3: olds when they're forty look back on it and think

301
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 3: I should not have been voting to do away with it.

302
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 3: But that could take a long time. Obviously, you can

303
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 3: do the math on that well. Right in the new

304
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 3: crop of sixteen seventeen year olds lacking all perspective and

305
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 3: wisdom because that's the way you're supposed to freaking be

306
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: as a.

307
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 2: Child, there's no avoiding it.

308
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 3: They will say, oh, yeah, yeah, no, we know what's

309
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: right for the world. Up with whatever as opposed to

310
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 3: male white landowners over thirty, which.

311
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: Is what should be.

312
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 3: I'm willing to expand the tent a little bit anyway. Yeah, yeah,

313
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 3: I don't know. The Western world is not looking super

314
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 3: healthy to me.

315
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: Wow, that is crazy.

316
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 3: It it'll be fun to watch, you know, to get

317
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 3: to have that experiment not in the United States and

318
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 3: see how it turns out. I won't go off on

319
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 3: a screen, but it's disturbing the extent to which America's

320
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 3: law schools have swung left, I mean way left, a

321
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: lot of them. And you see the fruit of that

322
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 3: in things like this the four to three Do you

323
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 3: remember the big judge election in Wisconsin that Elon Musk

324
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 3: weighed in on and raised a bunch of money for

325
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 3: the conservative and he got shellacked. And so because they

326
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 3: have Supreme Court elections in Wisconsin and now they have

327
00:17:54,400 --> 00:18:00,479
Speaker 3: a four to three liberal majority there. Well, they ruled

328
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 3: against a Catholic charity's nonprofit.

329
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 2: It had to do with tax exemption and who gets it.

330
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 3: Okay, I won't get into the fact that the case

331
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 3: doesn't really matter, but the Wisconsin Supreme Court said, no,

332
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 3: you don't get your tax exemption. Sonya Soto Mayor wrote

333
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 3: the nine to decision for the Supreme Court, overturning the

334
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 3: Wisconsin Supreme Court and administered a firm handed scotus spanking

335
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 3: to their utterly ridiculous, ridiculous ruling. There needs to be

336
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 3: some sort of law that if you get overturned nine

337
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 3: by the U. Supreme Court, you have to disband that

338
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 3: lower court and start over.

339
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 2: Or you're on double secret probation.

340
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: And if it happens a second time, yeah, you got

341
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 3: to mind your p's and q's. The State court, well,

342
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 3: I won't read you what the state court held, but

343
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 3: just as Soto Mayor writes in her opinion for the

344
00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 3: unanimous reversal, that if a state law treats two religious

345
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 3: soup kitchens differently depending on the amount of prayer and

346
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 3: proselytizing before lunch, that's a violation of the First Amendment

347
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 3: because they essentially said, yeah, this Catholic charity isn't doing

348
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 3: enough Catholic stuff to earn their tax exemption. They're just

349
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 3: doing kind of general charitable work. But she says, this

350
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 3: is soda, Mayor. It is fundamental to our constitutional order

351
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 3: that the government maintained neutrality between religion and religion. There

352
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 3: may be hard calls to make in policing that rule,

353
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 3: but this is not one wow yeah again nine nothing decisions.

354
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 3: You have to disband the lower court. That's a new

355
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 3: I want that in the constitution.

356
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, kidding.

357
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 3: The Wall Street Journal editorial board summarizes with don't expect

358
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 3: this nine oh SmackDown to temper the unrestrained ambitions of

359
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 3: Wisconsin's four left wing justices. But in the debate to come,

360
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 3: keep in mind how they're mangling of religious liberty, lost

361
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 3: even justice Soda Mayor. By the way, we'll get back

362
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 3: to the biggest story in America over the last four days.

363
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 3: Coming up kickoff hour two. We're going to talk to

364
00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 3: a California congressman Republican who's a hardcore against the lack

365
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 3: of order in Los Angeles. Fabulous Kevin Kylie. So we'll

366
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 3: get back into that. But I was just reading this.

367
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 3: Tim Sanderfer retweeted, if you think it's a good idea

368
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 3: to protest deportation by waving the flag of the country

369
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 3: you don't want to live in or be deported to,

370
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 3: you're a political idiot. Yes, I would agree, you left

371
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 3: that country. In some cases you.

372
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 2: Really really don't want to go back, then don't wave

373
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: that flag. That'd be my suggestion.

374
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so getting back kind of sort of to

375
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 3: the law school theme, but just kind of sort of

376
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 3: during the whole will Ca apocalypse, we ought to have

377
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 3: a term for the post George Floyd period of time

378
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 3: where everything that was left the extremist, a lot of

379
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 3: people were afraid to even argue against you, sat there

380
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 3: and took your euro racist training at work, said yes,

381
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: that obvious man is a woman and should be in women's.

382
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: Sports if he is a woman.

383
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 3: For fear of backlash because the left was on the

384
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 3: front foot and just whoop an ass wow. Roughly period

385
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 3: roughly twenty nineteen to Trump's election will be a period

386
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 3: that historians do need to put a name on it.

387
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 2: I mean, that was all woke, George Floyd.

388
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 3: COVID Trump, January sixth Insurrection, all the craziness of the

389
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 3: twenty four election all. I mean, that's all gotta fit

390
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 3: into a period because the whole thing inflation that I

391
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 3: don't know what they're gonna call it, but it's a

392
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 3: period of time to.

393
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 2: Have lived through, no doubt, as we all know. That's funny.

394
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: It just clicked into my head.

395
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 3: I refer to it over and over again in kind

396
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,719
Speaker 3: of cumbersome ways, and I need a quick summaration summation.

397
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 2: Does anybody have a suggestion.

398
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 3: You can email us mail bag at Armstrong E Geddy

399
00:21:58,480 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 3: dot com.

400
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll squeeze it into mailback coming up there.

401
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 3: He deserves a name that period nineteen through twenty four,

402
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 3: like the Great Depression. It deserves a name, the wocopolyps.

403
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 3: That's kind of cumbersome anyway. So all this was along

404
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 3: aside or along setup to the fact that some absolutely

405
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 3: fundamental principles that nobody has ever argued with suddenly became

406
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 3: taboo to say, like working hard is white supremacy, and

407
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 3: showing up on time and blah blah blah, and the

408
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 3: idea of the best person gets the job is evil,

409
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 3: and that obvious man is a woman.

410
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 2: I mean, just just the.

411
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 3: Most fundamental truths of humankind were suddenly you weren't supposed

412
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 3: to say them. We continued to perhaps you remember that anyway.

413
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 3: One of those true true truisms is that meritocracy is

414
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 3: what should run virtually everything.

415
00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 2: I'm huge on that.

416
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 3: I've been saying that for Oh yeah, yeah, I love

417
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 3: what Jordan Peterson said once. He said, Look, the job

418
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 3: of the left or the job of the right is

419
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 3: to make sure meritocracy indoors, because we need that in.

420
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 2: Every profession, in every walk of life.

421
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 3: The job of the left is to make sure at

422
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 3: the bottom of that ladder there is fairness. People are

423
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 3: not stopped impeded from getting on that ladder. And I

424
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 3: think that's absolutely true. Having said that, were your story

425
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 3: about like great Britain class system where families stay in

426
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: that upper tier forever and it's very hard to move tears, Yeah,

427
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 3: I was just yeah, just had a conversation about that

428
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 3: last night, the British legal system specifically.

429
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: But anyway, So here is this guy.

430
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 3: He began his first final exam in law school and

431
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 3: the classroom.

432
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 2: Was half empty.

433
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 3: There are maybe sixty seventy people in our big group.

434
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 2: At least thirty of them were missing.

435
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 3: He was at Pepperdine Caruso School Law in Malibu, California's

436
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 3: summer twenty three.

437
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 2: It was what we call a racehorse exam.

438
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 3: He said, out of the final it's pretty guarantee that

439
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 3: you're not going to finish, but you have to move

440
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 3: as fast as possible and rack up as many points

441
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 3: as you can. My daughter just went through this five

442
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 3: weeks ago. He later learned that the absent students weren't

443
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 3: running late, they would be completing the exam separately using

444
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: extended time, a testing accommodation that the Americans with Disabilities

445
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 3: Act require schools to make available for students with conditions

446
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 3: that impair major life activities like learning, reading, and concentrating.

447
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: So those students.

448
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 3: Usually receive one and a half or twice the standard

449
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 3: testing time, which in law school can mean up to

450
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 3: four extra hours, and according to multiple Pepperdine.

451
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 2: Students, more than a third of the school's.

452
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 3: Law students now received testing accommodations, the most common of

453
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 3: which is extended time. Everybody has a note signed by

454
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 3: somebody that says, yeah, Jimmy has trouble concentrated when I

455
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 3: don't know the lights are on, and so everybody gets

456
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 3: extended time. I know I'm in this world enough to

457
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 3: know you'd never get turned down for some sort of

458
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 3: ADHD or add or anxiety or anything I eat something.

459
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 3: So law schools don't disclose their rates of accommodations, but

460
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 3: a twenty three or in Law Review paper reports data

461
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 3: on public law schools obtained through state public record laws.

462
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 3: And this is in twenty twenty one, before the post

463
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,959
Speaker 3: COVID rise in disability accommodations.

464
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 2: Okay, this is the lower rate.

465
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 3: It was like twenty two percent at the University of

466
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 3: California and San Francisco twenty six percent.

467
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 2: You see, Irvine, et cetera, et cetera. Here's my deal.

468
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 3: And as the father of an autistic daughter, for instance,

469
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 3: I am one hundred percent in favor of us as

470
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 3: a society finding ways to make sure people who have

471
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 3: struggles and special needs get an education. I am crazy, staunchly,

472
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 3: enthusiastically in favor of that. But I don't think my

473
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 3: beloved daughter, Kate, who I think about every hour of

474
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 3: every day of my life, I don't think she should

475
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 3: be shoehorned into say, you know, Pepperdine law. Well, I

476
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 3: can look at it this way, because I got a

477
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 3: kid that's on all kinds of medication.

478
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's ever gonna get through school.

479
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 3: But you can't change the law school so that he

480
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 3: can become a lawyer, right or you fundamentally changed to

481
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 3: what a degree from that law school means.

482
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, because if.

483
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 3: You get out in the world and you're practicing law,

484
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 3: Like if I need a lawyer for whatever I'm doing,

485
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 3: I can't say now this lawyer, this lawyer, it'll take

486
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 3: you three days to get your paperwork done. Now this lawyer,

487
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 3: because they have ADHD in anxiety, it's going to be

488
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 3: a month.

489
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: I mean, what right? What? That doesn't make any sense? Well,

490
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: and you put it beautifully.

491
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 3: I mean that illustrates the fundamental departure from what is

492
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 3: obviously true. One of those COVID Floyd Woke apocalypse, you know,

493
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 3: things that happened.

494
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 2: And again, I want programs.

495
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 3: I want people who need extra time to be able

496
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 3: to get a law degree. But we've got to have excellence,

497
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 3: and we've got to have places where.

498
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 2: Excellence is the only standard.

499
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 3: And then when that standard has met, we know there

500
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 3: was excellence there, not excellence plus double time. Because the

501
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 3: family doctor who's an old family friend went ahead wrote

502
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: a note for a little Johnny so you could have

503
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 3: a leg up. I mean, come on, you got a

504
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 3: third of the freaking students. Wow, and elite law schools.

505
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous. Get back to meritocracy. Man, At what point

506
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 3: are you not a good parent because you didn't get

507
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 3: your kid one of these notes that helps.

508
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: Him get through everything. I mean, at some point across

509
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 2: the line.

510
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,719
Speaker 1: The Armstrong and Getty show, Your Show, podcasts and our

511
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: Hot Lakes.

512
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 3: You could start with the question of is the DNI

513
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 3: supposed to spend her time producing and hosting many documentaries

514
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 3: for social media.

515
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 2: I didn't know that was a thing for some reason.

516
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 3: Tulsea Gabber, the Director of National Intelligence, just put out

517
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 3: a three and a half or so minute video in

518
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 3: which she describes visiting Hiroshima and Nagasaki and how horrific

519
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 3: it was that the US used those weapons.

520
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: You'll hear some of.

521
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 3: It, and then moves toward her point, which is troubling

522
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 3: to me. Indeed, we'll give you a sample of it. Michael,

523
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:33,959
Speaker 3: let's hear sixteen.

524
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 4: I recently visited Hiroshima in Japan and stood at the

525
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 4: epicenter of a city that remains scarred by the unimaginable

526
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 4: horror caused by a single nuclear bomb dropped in nineteen

527
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 4: forty five, eighty years ago. It's hard for me to

528
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 4: find the words to express what I saw, the stories

529
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 4: that I heard, the haunting sadness that still remains. This

530
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 4: is an experience that will stay with me forever. This

531
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 4: attack obliterated the city, killed over three hundred thousand people,

532
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 4: many dying instantly, while others died from severe burns, injuries, radiation,

533
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 4: sickness and cancer that set in in the following months

534
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 4: and years. Nagasaki suffered the same faith, homes, schools, families

535
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 4: all gone in a flash. The survivors, the Hibo Kusha,

536
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 4: they carried the pain of extreme burns, radiation, sickness and

537
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 4: loss for decades.

538
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 3: So she goes on in that vein for a couple

539
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 3: of minutes and describing how today's warheads are even more

540
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 3: and it is never it is like a mini documentary.

541
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 3: I mean, it's really really well done. The music, she

542
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 3: looks great, it looks like a motion picture, and then

543
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 3: all the video behind her of the explosion and then

544
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 3: you know, sick and dying and injured and mutilated people.

545
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's like a documentary in art displays

546
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 3: of the survi that sort of thing. So she never

547
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 3: mentions the brutality of Imperial Japan Pearl Harbor Baton Death March,

548
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 3: tens of thousands of US troops who died to try

549
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 3: to win the war in the Pacific. She doesn't mention

550
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 3: Operation Downfall, which was the invasion of the Japanese mainland

551
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 3: in which our military authorities believed between one hundred and

552
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 3: five hundred thousand more young American men were expected to die.

553
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 3: It just goes on and on about the horrors of

554
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 3: using the nuclear weapons against Japanchi out Obama, Obama who

555
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 3: did this while ago, or the Japanese Imperial Armies statement

556
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 3: they would never surrender, or any of those things. Well, yeah,

557
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 3: I just happened to hear a great podcast with a

558
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 3: historian who was talking about the war in the Pacific

559
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 3: and how the closer we got to Japan, the more

560
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 3: intensely the Japanese fought to the death. There would be

561
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 3: I can't remember the numbers, as like seventeen thousand Japanese

562
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 3: soldiers on Iwo Jima and only two hundred of them

563
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 3: surrendered at the end. Everybody else fought to the death.

564
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 3: Pardon me if my numbers are not exact, they don't

565
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 3: have them in front of me. And so the end

566
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 3: of the war would have been horrifically bloody for both sides.

567
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 3: I mean casualties on the Japanese side far beyond and

568
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 3: the toll from the bombs.

569
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 2: You attacked us.

570
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 3: It is not our obligation to try to end this

571
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 3: war in a way that saves as many as you

572
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 3: as possible while wasting our lives right exactly exactly, So

573
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 3: what is she doing? Why did she make the video?

574
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 3: Let's skip to eighteen Michael, and it's about to become

575
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 3: more clear.

576
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 4: This isn't some made up science fiction story. This is

577
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 4: the reality of what's at stake, what we are facing now,

578
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 4: because as we stand here today, closer to the brink

579
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 4: of nuclear annihilation than ever before, political elite and warmongers

580
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 4: are carelessly fomenting fear and.

581
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 2: Tension between nuclear powers. Perhaps it's because.

582
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 4: They are confident that they will have access to nuclear

583
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 4: shelters for themselves and for their families that regular people

584
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 4: won't have access to.

585
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 2: So it's up to us, the people, to speak up.

586
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 4: And demand an end to this madness.

587
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 2: We must reject this path to.

588
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 4: Nuclear war and work toward a world where no one

589
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 4: has to live in fear of a nuclear holocaust.

590
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 3: This is a mini documentary made to convince people to

591
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 3: abandon Ukraine. That is the purpose of it. She is

592
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 3: trying to convince us that support for Ukraine will lead

593
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 3: to a nuclear holocaust that will get us all except

594
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 3: for those elites who have their own bomb shelters.

595
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

596
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 3: Ian Bremer tweeted that out and said, closer to nuclear

597
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 3: war than ever before possible because elites have access to

598
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 3: bomb shelters questionable.

599
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, well whatever.

600
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 3: But Noah Rothman in the National Review points out many

601
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 3: times we were much, much, much closer to nuclear war

602
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 3: than we are now, So.

603
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 2: That's just wrong.

604
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 3: And he also points out that so where did this

605
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 3: come from? Why would Telsey gabbert in puner country's integrity

606
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 3: and terrorize the public as she talks about causing unnecessary fears?

607
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 3: It's because Moscow's not coming around to Donald Trump's charms.

608
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 3: As he put it, if you've succumbed to the delusion

609
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 3: that Vladimir Putin is honest and there's invasions of Ukraine

610
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 3: are the result of NATO's supposed aggression, then the Kremlin

611
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 3: should have been satisfied by now. But Trump's peace overtures

612
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 3: and concessions to Russia have failed to dissuade Moscow from

613
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 3: pursuing its territorial ambitions with violence bigger attacks every day.

614
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 3: In the conspiracist's mind, Russia's stubbornness is evidence only that

615
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 3: American dishonest. He is even worse than we previously knew.

616
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 3: I one of the many interesting things about the Trump

617
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 3: administration in the way he does things. You know, he

618
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 3: only has certain things that he's really interested in, and

619
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 3: I think the rest of it doesn't pay much attention to.

620
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 3: Does he have the slightest idea that she did that?

621
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 3: Is he okay with that? DNA is a big internal

622
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 3: argument in the Trump administration, the abandoned Ukrainers versus the

623
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 3: support Ukrainers, and this appears to be some sort of

624
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 3: you know how it's er blast for her side as

625
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,959
Speaker 3: the director of National Intelligence. She goes on to say,

626
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 3: and I think this is important. I wish more people

627
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,319
