Speaker 3: Fat Tuesday.

12
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 4: In Marty Gras happening in New Orleans, and I just

13
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 4: saw some Marty Grass revelers down there. Cyber truck had

14
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 4: pulled up on the street and there was a tremendous

15
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 4: amount of booing going on, and I just thought that

16
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 4: was interesting that that is like seen as an I

17
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 4: was gonna say a vehicle, but it's actually a vehicle,

18
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 4: so using it as a here's the sound doing a

19
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 4: cyber truck pulling truck. Oh, the music plays it. It's

20
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 4: in the background. Women are showing their boobs for.

21
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: Needs.

22
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 4: Yet it's still time to do the leader of DOGE

23
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 4: because you hate cutbacks and spending.

24
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 2: I just don't get it.

25
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 3: Wasteful spending, idiotic spending, that's just tribal signaling.

26
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: Oga booga, I don't care.

27
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of that sort of thing. Oh Michael, are

28
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 3: you giving up playing chest for lint? I am, yes,

29
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 3: no more chabulous. So one of the themes that the President

30
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: is in his speech last night was getting rid of

31
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 3: a bunch of woke crap and transgender this and that.

32
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: Which I thought was terrific.

33
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 3: And we'll play some highlights in I don't know, twenty minutes,

34
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 3: half an hour or something like that, but I thought

35
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 3: a couple of things were very interesting, one more newsy

36
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: and one more philosophical.

37
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: But first of all, the newsy thing.

38
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: For the last decade, the establishment media have touted advocates

39
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 3: claims as fact that we have roughly fifteen thousand transgender

40
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: people serving in the US military. If you're not familiar

41
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: with the term, it means a person of one sex

42
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: pretending to be the other sex. Wow, and over and

43
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: over again, I've heard the fifteen thousand numbers and thought, damn,

44
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 3: that's a lot. I know, believe it, but yeah, I was.

45
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 3: I didn't either, but I had no idea what to think.

46
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: But this week President Donald Trump's Pentagon revealed that the

47
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 3: number is about forty two hundred service members, which is

48
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 3: still a hell of a lot, but it's just over

49
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: one quarter of what they were claiming. This adds up

50
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 3: to one transgender person for every five hundred service members

51
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: in a military of two point one million active in

52
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 3: reserve members. I am surprised that it is that many,

53
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: and I'd be curious as to what is going on

54
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: psychosocially that would.

55
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 4: That would cause that. I mean, you talk about ridiculous tribalism.

56
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 4: I came across Bill Crystal's tweet last night. Most of

57
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: you don't know who he is. He used to be

58
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 4: one of my favorite pundits. He is a hardcore conservative,

59
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 4: like in the classic style. His dad, Irving Crystal founded

60
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 4: I think the Weekly Standard, one of the great writers

61
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 4: of conservatism, and Bill Crystal carried that on and then

62
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 4: Bill Crystal hated.

63
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: It, called Berry Goldwater a moderate.

64
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 4: Bill Crystal who used to be on you know, like

65
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 4: meet the Press and face a nation and arguing for

66
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 4: conservatives all these years. He hated Trump so much he

67
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 4: went over with the people that formed the Bulwark, and

68
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 4: they have become a grift machine. And they've just figured

69
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 4: out that if they say bad things about Republicans that

70
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 4: they can make a lot of money. And this is

71
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 4: what Bill Crystal tweeted out last night. Stand with trans Americans.

72
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 4: You don't have to understand everything about the transgender experience

73
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 4: to know that Trump's act of humiliation and dehumanization are

74
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 4: unjust and dangerous. You've lost your mind just because he

75
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 4: hasn't lost his mind, he's become so cynical. He just thinks,

76
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: you know what, it's all a game. Anyway, screw it.

77
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 4: There are enough of these people out there if I

78
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 4: take this angle, they'll continue to you know, donate money

79
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 4: to us and read our stuff and give us clicks,

80
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 4: and I'll make a look whatever.

81
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, give the converts. Everybody wants to celebrate the converts.

82
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, yeah. Wow. That is some cynical crack.

83
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 3: So, speaking of which, those of us who aren't cynical

84
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: have looked at the world around us, and and I

85
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 3: think a lot of you probably understand that the hard

86
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 3: core activists in the Woke Thing are neo Marxists, and

87
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: the Woke Thing is just an excuse to say, you're

88
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 3: in charge of this institution, but you're a racist, and

89
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: I can prove it with my anti racist theories, and

90
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 3: obviously we can't have a racist in charge, so now

91
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 3: I'm in charge. It's a method of conquest. It takes

92
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 3: over institutions, be they you know, schools or government departments

93
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: or whatever. We get the hardcore doing that, the people

94
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: who want to be nice people and they go along

95
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: with it. This is the useful idiots, and they are

96
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 3: legion in their numbers, and often it's young people because

97
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 3: young people are easy to indoctrinate.

98
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: The problem with that term is that Lenin's term, I

99
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: think it is.

100
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, John Lennon, no v I Lenin. The problem with

101
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 4: that term is that it's obviously quite insulting. It's not

102
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 4: a good way to explain to someone that they maybe

103
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 4: are being used for a purpose that they do not

104
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 4: agree with.

105
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: If you call them an idiot, right, you make a

106
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: good point.

107
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: Let's go with useful morons instead useful halfwits. No, it's

108
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 3: it's actually one of the better impulses in humankind, which

109
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 3: is what I'm leading toward.

110
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 2: It's long been known that all.

111
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 3: The intelligence agencies and governments of the world are interested

112
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 3: in influencing people to believe certain things to support certain

113
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: programs or certain governments. I mean, that's that's obvious, right, Propaganda,

114
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: the Hitler Youth to the malt Se Tongue and his

115
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 3: Red Guard, just all sorts of programs like that.

116
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: And a guy who's been studying this his whole life.

117
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 3: His name is a Jason Christoff, and he did a

118
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: presentation recently that was hosted by Senator Ron Johnson speaking

119
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 3: of rock ribbed Conservatives, and he explained how mind control

120
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: is easy to execute because human beings are essentially walking psyops.

121
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 2: He said he quote he said me.

122
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 3: Medic programming, which is the process of having someone learn

123
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: to imitate patterns and behaviors, is routinely used in Hollywood

124
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 3: films and by powerful corporations and governments.

125
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: Quote.

126
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 3: Mind control works on the subconscious, and the subconscious is

127
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: something that loves us and wants.

128
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: To protect us.

129
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: And it's in the realm of activity, similar to your

130
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 3: heart beating. So there are things you understand as a

131
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 3: human being that you're not in control of.

132
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: Their instinctive.

133
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 3: Your subconscious mind is always looking to establish what the

134
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 3: bigger group of humans is doing, and so it is

135
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 3: responsive to repetitive content. Simply put, people are always looking

136
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: to learn what a larger group is doing and fit in,

137
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 3: meaning that repeated messages can be enormously powerful. You know,

138
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: obviously we're just talking about conformity here. All sales organizations

139
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,559
Speaker 3: know this sure. Quoting again from mister Christoff. The reason

140
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: the subconscious does this is because it knows that most

141
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 3: humans like other humans who act, talk and think like

142
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 3: they do, and all the subconscious nuh, and all your

143
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: subconscious know that it's safer to bond with a bigger group.

144
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: To break this mind control technique down further, your subconscious

145
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 3: automatically absorbs repetitive content and forces people to adopt ideas

146
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: as their own.

147
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: Your reptile brain is telling.

148
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: You you decided this on your own, to go along

149
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 3: with the crowd, because, for whatever reason, that works better

150
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 3: with humans.

151
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: It's more adaptive.

152
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 3: As they say in anthropology, that's why, for.

153
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 4: Example, do any of my beliefs come from my own thinking?

154
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 4: Or is this all just because I was surrounded by it?

155
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 3: I think sometimes the best you can do is be

156
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 3: intellectually honest and examine your beliefs and test them now

157
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 3: and again and try the other ideas. But anyway, that's

158
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 3: a great other topic.

159
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: What time is it? Yeah, we're good, blah blah blah.

160
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 3: This is why, for example, at a party where there's

161
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 3: a lot of alcohol being served and consumed, people can

162
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 3: feel nervous saying no when offer to drink. Quote, if

163
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 3: you dare say no in opposition of the most repetitive content,

164
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: your nervous system will make you feel extremely uneasy and

165
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 3: full of anxiety, and it will also reward you for

166
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: going along with it, putting your neurology at peace and calm.

167
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 3: In the feeling of calmness, then wow. So there's more

168
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 3: to peer pressure than.

169
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: Meets the eye.

170
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: Right exactly, It's not weakness, it's it's anthropologically adaptive. The

171
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 3: problem is, you know, unless you're an alcoholic, you're gonna

172
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: be fine having a drink, or unless somebody is trying

173
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 3: to feed your roofy and rape you or something like that.

174
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 3: Usually fine, Bill Cosby's house or oh right, exactly. In short,

175
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: but if there is an insidious group bent on evil

176
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 3: utilizing these truths intentionally and aggressively, you get an entire

177
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 3: generation of young people walking around. So saying it's not

178
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 3: wrong to have a man in a woman's sport, even

179
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 3: though he whoops the hell out of the women and

180
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 3: takes all the titles. It's not wrong to have a

181
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 3: man in a women's prison because that man says he's

182
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 3: a woman. They come up with an idea as ludicrous

183
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 3: is that a man who says he's a woman is

184
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 3: actually a woman.

185
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 4: And then certainly things that are easier to go for.

186
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 4: I won't say fall four like hearing about climate change

187
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 4: every class you're ever in your whole life, right.

188
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: Christoph actually touched on the COVID nineteen pandemic in the response, said,

189
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: media out let's push highly similar similar narratives to quote

190
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 3: unquote control people, influencing them to stay at home. Mind

191
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 3: control is the basis of all advertising, and the governments

192
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 3: have been proven to be using the same group dynamic

193
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 3: application against the public. He pointed to examples such as

194
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 3: the UK's Behavioral Insights Team informally known as the Nudge Unit.

195
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 3: Have you ever heard of this? No, It's a former

196
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 3: government organization now run by a chair which uses behavioral

197
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 3: insights to change people's behavior, for example, by changing messaging

198
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 3: to make people more likely to pay their.

199
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 2: Taxes on time. Wow.

200
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 3: Christoff believes such tactics have been used to drive social

201
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 3: changes for decades, with depictions of large nuclear families on

202
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 3: screen diminishing since the nineteen fifties in favor of less

203
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 3: conventional families with fewer children, among other things. And corporations

204
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 3: use similar strategies.

205
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: But we're running out of time. But you get the idea.

206
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 3: And I've often said, you don't need to do what

207
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: the culture is doing because a lot of that is

208
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,239
Speaker 3: designed by people who do not have your best interests

209
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 3: in mind.

210
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,479
Speaker 2: So maybe the only.

211
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 3: Great takeaway from this is if you find yourself wanting

212
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 3: to conform, understand that that is your animal brain being used,

213
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 3: often by evil people to try to get you to

214
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: behave in a certain way.

215
00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: That's really interesting stuff.

216
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong and Joey The Armstrong and Getty Show, thee

217
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: arm Strong and Getty Show.

218
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 4: So my thirteen year old, and it matters what his

219
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 4: age is. Apparently wanted to open a checking account at

220
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 4: the bank or an account at the bank because he's

221
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 4: got enough money built up from allowances and birthdays and Christmases,

222
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 4: and he doesn't spend his money like his brother does.

223
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 4: He saves it because he wants to be able to

224
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 4: put it toward a car someday and that sort of thing.

225
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: So he's got a decent sized chunk.

226
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 4: Of money added up over the years, and he'd been

227
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 4: keeping it in a shoe box. And so he's going

228
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 4: to open an account. And I remember when I opened

229
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 4: an account when I was probably about his age. I

230
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 4: started mowing lawns when I was twelve thirteen and accumulating

231
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 4: money and opening a bank account.

232
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 2: On the passage. I remember it myself.

233
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 4: On the way to the bank, I did say to him,

234
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 4: I said, you know, I haven't I haven't been around

235
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 4: the idea of opening an account for a bank in

236
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 4: four something like that. So I don't know if the

237
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 4: rules have changed, but so in case something happens, but anyway,

238
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 4: we should we get it there sure enough.

239
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 2: And so we're trying to open this account and everything

240
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: like that.

241
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 4: And first of all, many banks everything is I don't

242
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 4: know if it's because the government comes down on them

243
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 4: so hard or something like that. They treat everybody like

244
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 4: you're a want to be terrorist, Like everything.

245
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 2: You do, it's like, jeez, lighten up.

246
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 4: But anyway, he needs to have two forms of ID

247
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 4: is where we ran into the roadblock. I said, what

248
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 4: is a form of ID for a thirteen year old?

249
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 3: He said, and they said, well, your Social Security card

250
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 3: is birth certificate? Okay, great, So I said, the fact

251
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 3: that I'm his dad isn't good enough. I can't vouch

252
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: for the fact that he's my son and I have

253
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 3: an account here and have had for twenty five years

254
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 3: and open an account for him.

255
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 4: I can't do that, and no, we need to. And

256
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 4: I said, is that a bank policy or the state

257
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 4: law or what is that? Because I was thinking, if

258
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 4: it's a bank policy, I'll go to a different bank.

259
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 3: But uh, it's a federal law. It's part of the

260
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 3: Patriot Act. I said, oh, of course.

261
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 4: And he said, well, it's a federal I said, you

262
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 4: don't need to explain the federal government to me.

263
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: And I hate the federal government, I said.

264
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: And then the guy looked at me like I was Oh.

265
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 3: He got wide eyed, like, oh, you're one of those people.

266
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 3: You're Timothy McVeigh, you're you're you're one of those people.

267
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, clearly I've heard about them.

268
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 4: I said, I hate the federal government. The Patriot Act's ridiculous.

269
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 4: This is ridiculous. The fact that I can't open a

270
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 4: bank account for a thirteen year old, and as his parent,

271
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 4: I got I gotta prove who he is because you

272
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 4: can't take my word for the fact that he's my child.

273
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 3: Makes me child, say money laundering, little mule for your militia,

274
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 3: whatever you want to call him. The Patriot Act was

275
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 3: so much I was trying to explain it to her.

276
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 3: He was so much crap that they jammed through. It's

277
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 3: all because of nine to eleven. So you're gonna stop

278
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 3: the next nine to eleven by making sure thirteen year

279
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 3: olds don't open illegal bank accounts. I guess whatever, even

280
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 3: though their parent, who you know, is sitting right there.

281
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 3: I hate stuff like that, and the and the but

282
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 3: they were there. Their eyes got so wide when I

283
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 3: hate the said I hate the federal government.

284
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 4: And I was thinking, if I was doing this same

285
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 4: thing in my in my where I went to college

286
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 4: in Hayes, Kansas, and I said I hate the federal government,

287
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 4: the teller would have said, yeah, me too, don't.

288
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 2: You high five job.

289
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 3: Came end of that, brother, But that just being oh

290
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 3: my god, you shouldn't she said, oh she even she

291
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 3: gasped the woman gasped, and her boss just looked at

292
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 3: me white.

293
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: I'd like, oh, were we about to have a fight.

294
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: Oh man, you have to have two pieces of id

295
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: even though he's my kid. I just found that amazing.

296
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 3: All right, here's here's the guy who retweets my quotes.

297
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 3: Get ready to jot this one down and get it right?

298
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 2: Would you?

299
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 3: Anytime the government says there's an emergency, there are two emergencies.

300
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but actually exactly.

301
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 4: And I actually told my son because he was one

302
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 4: or he was really like, is that something you can't

303
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 4: say out loud?

304
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: I said, I told him.

305
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 4: The most revered Republican president of the last maybe century,

306
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 4: Ronald Reagan, ran on the scariest words in the English

307
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 4: language are I'm here from the I'm from the government,

308
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 4: and I'm here to help you.

309
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 3: I mean, he ran on, I hate the government. Or

310
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 3: I just saw a clip this morning. The government isn't

311
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 3: the solution. Government is the problem.

312
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 4: And the woman who was typing furiously after I said that,

313
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 4: because she was so horrified that anybody would say that,

314
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 4: I said, you know, all the money in my account

315
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 4: I made that by going on the radio every day

316
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 4: and saying I hate the government I make my living.

317
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 3: By the way, if the Justice Department is listening, or

318
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 3: the FDIC, right, the CIA, the NSA, if I'm happy

319
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 3: to testify against this monster.

320
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 4: I'm sure I'm on some sort of terrorist watch list now, yes, Michael.

321
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 3: So wonder they didn't hit the silent alarm on you

322
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 3: and then you know, cops show up or something.

323
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 2: I would have been.

324
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 4: I would have loved to talk to people and explain

325
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 4: why it's okay for me to say I hate the government.

326
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 3: No, no, no, We've got to surveill him for a

327
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 3: while and go through his mail and monitor his phone calls.

328
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 3: We've got the NSA working on it already. What I

329
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 3: hate is the manager guy acting like it makes sense

330
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 3: that we have a law that I can't vouch for

331
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 3: my kid being my kid.

332
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 4: That just seems perfectly reasonable to me. Two forms of

333
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 4: ID for a child right when their parents is there.

334
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 3: How about he says his name, then I say his name?

335
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 3: Is that two forms of ID? And if not, what

336
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 3: the hell has the world?

337
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: Because I know am Strong.

338
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty the Armstrong and Getty Show.

339
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 3: But right now it's time for a gender bending madness updates.

340
00:17:53,520 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: Oh no, I kept hearing about this thing called the loco.

341
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 2: We're a brave genm. We call it around here gender

342
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 2: bending madness. Can we start with the positive or the negative.

343
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 3: Let's start with negative and then we'll move through positive,

344
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 3: then go to neutral and back to negative again.

345
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 2: Everybody ready, right?

346
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 3: Okay, So let's start with the fact that the Trevor Project,

347
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,240

00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 3: young people, has partnered with a bunch of major corporations

350
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 3: to get gigantic donations. What does the Trevor Project do.

351
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure they do some stuff that's just fine. It

352
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 3: includes counseling sessions, a crisis hotline, LGBTQ plus minus over

353
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,840

Speaker 3: an online community where adults communicate with miners about sexual

355
00:18:55,359 --> 00:19:00,439

00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 4: Yes, they jumped on this couple of years ago when

362
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 4: they thought they had to.

363
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: Right, I guess, but they're still doing it through this year.

364
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 3: Huge donations knock around a sunglasses company, conscious Step, a

Speaker 3: sock company, if jewelry company, Pua Vita, guest watches and more.

366
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 4: If this raises in people's consciousness, a lot of those

367
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 4: companies will back out and say we no longer believe

368
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 4: in weighing on political issues.

369
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, maybe that'd be a good thing. So yeah, Yeah.

370
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 3: And when the United States Department of Health and Human

371
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 3: Services put out a report that joined Great Britain and

372
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 3: the Netherlands and France and virtually all of Europe in

373
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 3: saying that the quality of research on so called gender

374
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 3: affirming care for minors is very, very low. There is

375
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 3: nothing to support that intervening when children are momentarily confused

376
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 3: is a good idea.

377
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 2: There's nothing to support that.

378
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 3: Well, the treasurer the Trevor Project condemned that report as

379
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 3: dangerous misinformation. Transgender status is an immutable trait like eye

380
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 3: color or height, and using language that suggests otherwise perpetuates

381
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 3: falsehoods and stereotypes, says the good.

382
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 2: Folks at the Trevor Project.

383
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 3: All right, speaking of transgenderism, this is our man of

384
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 3: the Year, the gender bending Madness Man of the Year,

385
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 3: Daviana formerly David clip thirty. Michael, think you might be

386
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 3: interested in what this bloke has to say.

387
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 5: I am a forty seven year old biological man. I

388
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 5: am been on hormones for a year, a little over year.

389
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 5: I just had my moves done. I've had one facial surgery.

390
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 5: I am not going to have bottom surgery. I'm going

391
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 5: to do one more face surgery on the bottom of

392
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 5: my chin. I am transitioning to look as much like

393
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 5: a female.

394
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 2: As I can.

395
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 5: That's the way I've wanted to be my whole life.

396
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 5: I understand that I cannot ever be a biological female.

397
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 5: For those of you people that cannot define what a

398
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 5: female is, realize that you're part of the problem. Okay,

399
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 5: a female is someone who was born a female with

400
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 5: X chromosomes and can have babies and so on and

401
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 5: so forth. So the idiots out there that say that

402
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 5: some men can have babies because they're transmit well that's

403
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 5: because they're a biological women.

404
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 2: So let's stop all the nonsense and stop all the bullshit.

405
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 4: Wow, so that's a guy who's on our side a

406
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 4: lot of that stuff, but yet getting facial reconstruction surgery.

407
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 2: And boob jobs and the rest of it. Yeah, he

408
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 2: wants to look like a woman. What an nswer to

409
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 2: which you know is you're right?

410
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 4: I guess I think you're tell you brother, I think

411
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 4: when you start operating on your jawline to get a

412
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 4: different shape, you're into mental health territory.

413
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 3: But I would agree, But at least he knows what

414
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 3: a woman is. Yeah, yeah, anything. People are crazy who

415
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 3: think that women men can have babies.

416
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 2: Speaking of crazy, yeah, absolutely.

417
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 3: In the formerly sane, hardworking city of Chicago, madness has

418
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 3: taken root.

419
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,800

00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 6: outside of Chicago Public Library branch on the city's north side,

423
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 6: drowning out a handful of protesters calling for the event

424
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 6: to be canceled.

425
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 7: They have an issue because they have men and women's clothing.

426
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 7: I've known drag queens for a long time. They teach

427
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 7: kids more about life than some of these right wingers do.

428
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 3: Wow, they teach kids more about life than some of

429
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 3: these right wingers do. Wow, that's a powerful argument.

430
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 4: Well that's from a person who probably because this crowd

431
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 4: them around.

432
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 2: Some of these people, they're.

433
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 3: So obsessed with sex and gender stuff that is life

434
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: to them.

435
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 2: So they are right.

436
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 4: If you define life as never doing anything else but

437
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 4: discussing sex and gender and sexual activity, then yes, you

438
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 4: do teach kids more about life than right wingers do.

439
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 4: We're kind of bigger on like math and reading and

440
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 4: learning a skill and morality and don't steal and be

441
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 4: nice to people stuff like that.

442
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,840

448
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 3: Everyone.

449
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 6: Protesters say these kind of events, supported with taxpayer dollars,

450
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 6: are just wrong, and drag.

451
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,560

452

Speaker 2: Moth does not give you the permission to do it.

453
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 3: Interestingly, all of the protesters featured on the special report

454
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 3: report were black folks.

455
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 2: Wow, that is interesting.

456
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, the black community, the spanning community, they don't dig

457
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 4: this stuff.

458
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 2: So where was it?

459
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 4: I know it was happening in Chicago, but that was

460
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 4: that attached to a school or a library.

461
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: Public library at the Chicago Public Library.

462
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 4: So that's where the federal tax or the tax money

463
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 4: comes in, right, Yeah, exactly.

464
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 3: You remember that brainiac with his argument about the drag

465
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 3: Queen's teach kids more about life.

466
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: See how you like this bit of logic.

467
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 6: The library is defending its Pride Month events, telling a

471
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 6: This is about freedom to parent how you want.

472
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,479
Speaker 7: So it's not about the that you see at adult shows.

473
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 8: This is somebody in a ball gown sitting down reading

474
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 8: stories to cast.

475
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 3: All right, So what I wanted to get to is

476
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 3: the part about if you don't like it, don't show up.

477
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 3: So if I don't know the Klan, we're indoctrinating kids

478
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 3: into a perverse ideology. At the local library. Hey, if

479
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 3: you don't like it, don't show up. You don't need

480
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 3: to go that far.

481
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 4: With an example, how about if you had people who

482
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 4: just believed marriages between a man and a woman, they're

483
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 4: gonna have a big event.

484
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 2: You're gonna allow that at the library. I doubt it.

485
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 3: The truth of God is revealed in the Bible, right,

486
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 3: we're gonna teach kids that at the library.

487
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 2: If you don't like it, don't show up.

488
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 3: No, you would go aps you, you lying crazed simpletons.

489
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: Finally, this which is named the Crazed Simpletons.

490
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 3: Oh please, we're gonna rehearse tonight for the first time

491
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 3: my living room. This is We mentioned this yesterday. It

492
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 3: is so weird and disappointing. Griff Jenkins here.

493
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 2: It was vemous because I think venom is all. The

494
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 2: other side really.

495
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 9: Has an Olympic sized feuds barked by seven times gold

496
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 9: medalists Simone Biles busting US swimmer Riley Gaines for calling

497
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 9: foul on a Minnesota high school women's softball team winning

498
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 9: a state title with a biological male pitcher. You're truly

499
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 9: sick all of this campaigning because you lost a race.

500
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 9: Biles wrote, adding straight up sore loser, you should be

501
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 9: uplifting the trans community, even appearing to body shame Gains

502
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 9: in another post, telling her to bully someone your own size,

503
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 9: which would ironically be a male.

504
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, we read those yesterdays.

505
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 4: I can't believe Simone Biles said that somebody who's competed

506
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 4: at the highest level of athletics to say you're just

507
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 4: mad because you lost it is really surprising to me.

508
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the idea that, yeah, a male ballplayer dominated

509
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 3: the girls and that's cool with you, Riley or I'm sorry, Simone.

510
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 4: Hey, Katie, you're an athlete. Did you play softball?

511
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 2: I did not. You did not. I played basketball.

512
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 4: Do you think if a dude was playing on a

513
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 4: they ever played co ed basketball?

514
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 5: Oh?

515
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, we had to scrimmage the boys and there were

516
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 7: a lot of injuries there.

517
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 4: And did you notice any advantages the boys had over

518
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 4: the girls in terms of speed or height or strength?

519
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 2: A couple, Yeah, all of them.

520
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 8: Yeah.

521
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 9: Roland Michael Gaines fired back, resurfacing a twenty seventeen Biles

522
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 9: tweet that read, good thing, guys don't compete against girls,

523
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 9: or he'd take all the gold medals, and she questioned Biles'

524
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 9: potential success had she been forced to compete with biological myth.

525
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 9: If Simone's inclusive dream came true, she would have zero

526
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 9: Olympic medals.

527
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:49,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, Simone Biles literally tweeted of a male gymnast who

528
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 3: is doing amazing things.

529
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 2: Good, good thing.

530
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 3: They don't compete against us because they're way bigger and stronger.

531
00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 3: And she's this is a great because she's a fairly

532
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 3: bright person.

533
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 2: From what I've seen.

534
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 3: This is a next bookcase of ideology blinding someone to reality.

535
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 4: And I'm sure she's immersed in people who think the

536
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 4: same way, so she assumes that she's on the popular

537
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 4: side of this. You're not right, And I liked Riley

538
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 4: Gaines blast about Okay, do the rings?

539
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 2: Then? Why is that just a male sport? The rings?

540
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 4: Why is that not the girls? Because it takes incredible

541
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 4: upper body strength.

542
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 3: And the final clip, which is great, but I need

543
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 3: to apologize in advance. There is something shocking here, something

544
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 3: people will not want to hear. And that's the name

545
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 3: Tim Walls again for some reason, just when you thought

546
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 3: he'd gone away for good.

547
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 9: The War of Words follows a lawsuit filed in Minnesota

548
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 9: on behalf of three female softball players, calling the transgender

549
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 9: pitcher a violation of Title nine. The White House weighing

550
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 9: in saying President Trump is protecting women in sports and

551
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 9: restoring common sense. Of Minnesota Governor Tim Walls is defending

552
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 9: politicians who stand with transgender athletes.

553
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 5: Shame on any of us who throws a chance child

554
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 5: under the bus for thinking.

555
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 4: They're going to.

556
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 3: Shame for throwing a trans child under the bus. Now,

557
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 3: they can be on the bus or next to the bus,

558
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 3: or in front of the bus or behind the bus.

559
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 3: They just can't be on a sports field competing against

560
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 3: girls because they're dudes.

561
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: Tim, You moron. Oh is that crowd that cheered like that? Yeah?

562
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: I know, I know.

563
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 3: The one thing that's become that's so reassuring though to

564
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 3: me now is all of the polls that have been

565
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 3: done show this is an eighty twenty issue, right, And

566
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 3: so I hear that cheering and think it wow. I mean, granted,

567
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 3: that's a very blue pocket of America, but you found

568
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 3: yourself some real out there radical believers who cheer that garbage.

569
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 3: Tell you what it's folks, it's gender bending madness.

570
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 8: Armstrong, Hetty, the armstrong and Getty Show.

571
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,080

00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 7: Anyway, back to Kate, this is this is just a

574
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 7: silly story that I had actually forgotten about until this

575
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 7: conversation came up. One of my top favorite bosses of

576
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,000

Speaker 2: Yeah, what a good dude. I love him.

578
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,760

Speaker 7: I need to talk to you in my office for

581
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 7: a second. And he is stone serious, and I'm thinking,

00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 7: oh boy, what did I say, What did I do?

583
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 2: Whatever?

584
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,560

00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 2: it's just weird. Yes, it's off.

Speaker 7: checked him. People used to text message me at ungodly hours,

617
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 7: and I see a text from one of my friends

618
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,520

00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 7: to the back of my car. So Paul and I

623
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 7: had a little bit of a laugh about it. We

624
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 7: go back up into his office and Paul goes, hey,

625
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:51,360

Speaker 2: Boss would like to talk to you.

630
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 3: Oh my god, this is this is the appropriate vengeance,

631
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 3: This isomfortable, this is justice.

632
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 7: So Paul has him on speaker phone and he goes, Hi, Ryan,

633
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 7: this is this is Katie's program director here in San Francisco,

634
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 7: and I just wanted to discuss the images that you

635
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 7: put on the back of her car. We actually have

636
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 7: security from the building here as well. And you could

637
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 7: hear Ryan going oh no, no, no, and then Paul start

638
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 7: busting up laughing. But anyway, that.

639
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 2: That's pretty good.

640
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 7: The reason this story came up is because we were

641
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 7: talking about the weirdest reasons we've ever been called into

642
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 7: our boss's office, and my brain went, oh my god,

643
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:37,479
Speaker 7: that happened.

644
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 4: Oh that is that is a good way to get

645
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 4: back at somebody though.

646
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 2: That's good.

647
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 7: God, Oh it was mortifying anyway.

648
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 3: If you are doing this job and you get called

649
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 3: into the boss's office and you're not fast forwarding through

650
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 3: everything you said in your head, you're not doing the

651
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 3: job right.

652
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 2: Right, It's a it was a short walk to Paul's office.

653
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 7: But I'm going, Okay, what did I I did this

654
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 7: news story a comment.

655
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 2: I'm like, I had no idea at all, wed go ahead.

656
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 3: I was just going to say, we've like had serious

657
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 3: stressful issues with people, completely freaked out and pissed off

658
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 3: some of them performatively about things we've said. And I'd

659
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 3: say two of the three I never saw coming.

660
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 4: No, I was gonna say, every time I've gotten in

661
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 4: trouble for saying something, it's like something I didn't even remember.

662
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,479
Speaker 4: I say edgy things sometimes and they go, oh boy,

663
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 4: that might get me in trouble. That's not the one.

664
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 4: It's the thing I didn't even think of for some

665
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 4: reason that it usually ends up with the TV cameras

666
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 4: outside the radio station.

667
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 3: And then there is I need to come up with

668
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 3: a name for it. It's like my white whale. It's

669
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 3: the one thing I said once that I thought, that's it.

670
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 3: I've ended my career. I shouldn't have said that. Whoops,

671
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 3: And I was. I was. I was virtually certain it

672
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 3: would be devastating, and nothing ever came of it. And

673
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 3: you can ply me with booze. You can put me

674
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 3: on the rack, give my boy, you can, or a

675
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 3: handy or the other thing.

676
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 2: Well, the other thing might get me. I don't know.

677
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 3: Try it, but I gotta go to church. I need

678
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:20,919
Speaker 3: to get to go to church and have my ears

679
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 3: washed out. And I will never admit it. I will

680
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,240
Speaker 3: never repeat it. It will not be repeated.

681
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 4: Had one time we angered the Asians, and every TV

682
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 4: station sent their Asian girl reporter to the radio station to.

683
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 3: And that was the funny part of it. And we've

684
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 3: seen that sort of thing. If you say something insensitive

685
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 3: about like affirmative action for black people or something like that,

686
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 3: all of a sudden you find out every station in

687
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 3: town happens to have a black reporter too. Wow, when

688
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 3: they're reporting on this story, it's hilarious once you become

689
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 3: aware of it.

690
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 2: It's it's like one hundred percent.

691
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 3: Italian Americans are angered at the cancelation.

692
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 2: Of the parade. We go to Luigi Praconi for a report,

693
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 2: Come on

694
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 8: Armstrong and Getty
