Speaker 4: twenty five. We're really going to phone it in in

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 4: back on when we used to try. It's a carefully

00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 4: culled selection of best of highlights, et cetera. It's the

10

00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 5: Replace right, brother and as by Kayla. This was their

12
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 5: first time to Burning Man. Kayla woke up, wasn't filling

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 5: my brother Casey ran I always said I need help.

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 5: Within minutes they had like an obg I n in

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 5: there in his underwear helping. There were no signs of pregnancy.

16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 5: We were at the lake the weekend before. She was

17
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 5: in a swimming suit. She did not look pregnant.

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 4: Yeah that's a woman talking about how her niece. I

19
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 4: guess because that's the end. I had a baby at

20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 4: burning Man and didn't know she was pregnant. So that's

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 4: a good story for the kid when the kid grows up. Yeah,

22
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 4: I had you at Burning Man. Thank god there happened

23
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 4: to be a doctor there. I didn't even know I

24
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 4: was pregnant while I was partying at Burning Man. That's

25
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 4: good story right there. That's also that's for ninety nine

26
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 4: point nine percent of women on earth.

27
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 3: That story is just ahead scratch, no kidding, you didn't

28
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 3: know from women to men.

29
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 4: This is going to lead me into my nearly getting

30
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 4: in a fight on a plane story front page USA Today,

31
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 4: cover story, Male anger finds.

32
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 3: A new home online, dun Dunton.

33
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 4: Here's the thing to be afraid of, all right, And

34
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 4: it's about how the online focus on masculinity comes at

35
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 4: a time when study after study shows men in America

36
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 4: experiencing unprecedented levels of loneliness, fatigue, depression, and suicide. That

37
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 4: is all true, and it probably should be discussed more.

38
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 4: I wonder if that has anything to do with the

39
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 4: fifty five shootings in Chicago over the weekend.

40
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 3: Eight deaths so far.

41
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 4: They're still counting, because I haven't got all the numbers

42
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 4: in yet. I don't know how it is at the

43
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 4: end of the summer. You're just yelling at us yourself

44
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 4: earlier on how it's time to get down to business

45
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 4: and do you get serious and the rest of it.

46
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 4: You know, you get to the end of the summer,

47
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 4: you realize, God, there's like five six people I've meant

48
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 4: to shoot the summer and I haven't yet. I've got

49
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 4: to get this done. Yeah, you say to yourself, it's

50
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 4: going to be snowing soon. You say to yourself, where

51
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 4: did summer go? So many rivals I haven't shot, and

52
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 4: here it is so many minor conflicts I'm meant to

53
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 4: settle with deadly force.

54
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: I better get to it.

55
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 4: Anyway, back to the USA today, and all those awful

56
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 4: statistics about men coming to their apparent rescue are groomed,

57
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 4: muscular men in polished videos, smoking cigars, sitting in a

58
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 4: private jet doing push ups, and whispering that men's pain

59
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 4: is because of women. Women are greedy, untrustworthy, weak and inferior,

60
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 4: these influencers say. And then they get into how this

61
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 4: is affecting young men. I don't have any idea I

62
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 4: know that exists. I don't have any idea how big

63
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 4: an influence that is on the men.

64
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 3: Of the world.

65
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 4: I really don't know. I personally don't know any that

66
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 4: are into that one. Oh, I have a great, great

67
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 4: story about the whole online influencer thing that I want

68
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 4: to get to later. But yeah, I mean that sort

69
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: of thing does exist, and some of these guys have followings,

70
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 4: absolutely true. But the number of men who are demonized

71
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 4: merely for being men and told that their masculinity is

72
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 4: by definition in itself toxic. It doesn't have to be toxic,

73
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 4: just to be masculine as ugly, and they're given that

74
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 4: message as little boys at school that they need to

75
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 4: sit down and shut up and act like the little girls.

76
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah.

77
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 4: The number of guys who have to deal with that

78
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 4: crap as opposed to the vanishingly small number that want

79
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 4: to go all tape Brothers on womankind. This plays please.

80
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 4: It's an elephant and an ant. So that's an odd

81
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 4: lead into this. I don't know if it has anything

82
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 4: to do with it, but there was an angry man

83
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 4: on a plane I got on you so flying domestically

84
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 4: over the weekend. One charming thing that I learned with

85
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 4: a couple of different airports was nobody has any idea

86
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 4: what the new rules are for what you put on,

87
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: what you take off, what you take out of your bag,

88
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 4: what you can leave in your bag.

89
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: Nobody has any idea.

90
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 4: Apparently including the TSA agents, because it just it varies

91
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 4: from person to person. Even had one TSA agent say

92
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 4: to me, you can leave that on. Then the next

93
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 4: TSA agency said, you got agent said you got to

94
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 4: take that off, and then behind me rolled his eyes.

95
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 3: Oh okay. Here he goes again, like.

96
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 4: If y'all can't get together on anyway, what do you

97
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 4: want out of us?

98
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 3: Anyway?

99
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 4: So I get on this plane and I'm walking down

100
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 4: the aisle headed back to my proletariat seats. I don't

101
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 4: sit up in the first class section. I'm back with

102
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 4: the restless. And I'm walking back to my seat and

103
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 4: there is a mom who I had seen in the

104
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 4: waiting line in the airport. She's got like a one

105
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 4: and a half year old, and she's, you know, doing

106
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 4: the bouncing up and down, trying to keep the one

107
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 4: and a half year old calm and all that sort

108
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 4: of stuff. And she's sitting there, and then there's this guy,

109
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 4: and I see the whole thing. I end up seeing

110
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 4: the whole thing because I'm just standing right there waiting

111
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 4: to get back. She says, my husband's not booked to

112
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 4: be sitting with us. Would you mind it trading seats

113
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 4: with him? And he said, plan better, and she said,

114
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 4: I'm sorry what he said, plan better? And she said,

115
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 4: you don't need to be so plan better. All I

116
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 4: did was that plan better. What is wrong with you, Sarah,

117
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 4: I'm just plan better. I mean, he's screaming, and he

118
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 4: is right next to my elbow. I mean, his head

119
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 4: is right next to my elbow, because I'm standing in

120
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 4: the aisle and he's about like mid late thirties, skinny guy,

121
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 4: a shaved head, dressed like he's, you know, not a

122
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 4: crazy person, but with the look of a he is

123
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 4: the expression of.

124
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 3: A crazy person.

125
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 4: Anyway, I everybody was like immediately on edge because this

126
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 4: guy was clearly unhinged. And uh, and I thought, if

127
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 4: he touches that woman holding that baby, I am gonna

128
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 4: choke this guy out. I mean, because I was right there.

129
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 4: I mean I put I put my bag in my

130
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 4: other arm. I'm I it would have taken nothing to

131
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 4: do this. But then then her husband, who's two rows

132
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 4: further up, same exact seats, So it would have changed

133
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 4: this guy's life not at all. He doesn't have to

134
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 4: change seats. He could have said no, thank you or

135
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 4: or he could have done what I would have done

136
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 4: and said, sure, it's exactly the same seat to Wars Forward.

137
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 3: What do I care?

138
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 4: But the husband said, hey, you don't need to You

139
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 4: don't need to talk to my wife like that plan better.

140
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: I've flown with my kid before. I planned better. Wow.

141
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 4: Wow, this guy's some sort of motivational speaker. Evidently with

142
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 4: a very narrow his consentation. It can be summed up

143
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 4: in two words. And so he was so over the top,

144
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 4: so quick. I think everybody was stunned, like what do

145
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 4: you even where do you even go with this conversation?

146
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 4: My favorite part of the whole thing was though, coming

147
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 4: from behind me as a British accent, you all the

148
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 4: reason that society is breaking down those people like you

149
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 4: and acting like this, That is a problem with society.

150
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 4: It's like what he said, and it sounded like we

151
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 4: had a narrator. It was like David Attenborough from the

152
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 4: Wilderness Shows. Here we see the young man in his

153
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 4: natural habitat angry.

154
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 3: I's a woman who has a kid.

155
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 4: Or that is so funny that it was a print

156
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 4: because while I was in England, then you can get

157
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 4: on with the story. While I was in England. I

158
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 4: thought I was meant to be British. I'm more comfortable here.

159
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 4: Everybody's a bit more restrained on her fright, and considerately

160
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 4: I want to hear it.

161
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 3: So the only thing left of the story is so

162
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 3: the guy.

163
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 4: It makes it pretty clear that he is not going

164
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 4: to do anything physically, and the line's moving, so I

165
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 4: got a move.

166
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,559
Speaker 3: So I get back to my seat.

167
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 4: I sit down, and I say to the two seat

168
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 4: mates I've got, including this one guy who turns out

169
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 4: to be wound so flipping tight. I mean, this guy,

170
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 4: he was chomping his gun the whole time, tapping his

171
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 4: fingers on his keyboard. I don't know if he like

172
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 4: did cocaine before he got on the plane, or if

173
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 4: that's just the way he rolls all the time, big tall, strong,

174
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 4: young dude.

175
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 3: And I'm telling him the story and he says, oh,

176
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: where is he? Where is he? Oh?

177
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 4: Man, I don't care if I get on CNN. I'm

178
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 4: ready to take this guy out. This fantastic there's like

179
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 4: five people on this plane ready to fight right now.

180
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: Wow.

181
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 4: So you've got the brit who's kind of functioning as

182
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 4: a as a very restrained, dignified intelligent commentator. I'm the

183
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 4: good and the bad that is laid arrayed before us.

184
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 3: There's another a y man, the baby she needs to

185
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: protect from the wild man. Let's see how it goes well.

186
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 4: And then the young man's like, you know, you make

187
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 4: a good point, granddad, let's whoop some ass, which you

188
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 4: know also standing up for decency. Yeah, yeah, I don't

189
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 4: know what happened. It looked like a whole bunch of

190
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 4: people moved their row, like all of them, like two

191
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 4: entire rows moved to accommodate the mom, kid and husband

192
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 4: because it didn't make any difference. They're in that section

193
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 4: where all the seats are the same. And then all

194
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 4: stared at Baldy Mcrage the rest of the flight next

195
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 4: to me though he just he spent all his time

196
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 4: looking down the aisle, like, come on, do something, guy,

197
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 4: do something.

198
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 3: I don't know.

199
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: I don't know why he had so much energy he

200
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 4: needed to work out well who he got on the

201
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 4: plane angry at. It's funny how I we hear these stories,

202
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 4: we talk about him all the time where somebody's acting

203
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 4: out on a plane, and I think.

204
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: How is there not some young guy to take care

205
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 3: of this? On my plane. For whatever reason, just luck

206
00:09:59,600 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: of the draw.

207
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 4: There seemed to be a whole bunch of people that

208
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 4: were looking forward to the opportunity to take care.

209
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: Of waffle House airlines exactly.

210
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 4: Exactly. Waffle House has an airline. Now, yeah, we fly

211
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 4: at two in the morning. Soon as the waffle house closes.

212
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 4: Everybody goes straight from the waffle house, the bar, to

213
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 4: the waffle house onto the plane. That's the way the

214
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 4: waffle House airlines worked. And there's a lot of fighting

215
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 4: waffle House air Oh oh, no, no, oh, why any who?

216
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 4: You know, I gotta remember that line though. My wife says,

217
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 4: you know, I really should have brought some heels. Yeah,

218
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 4: just and immediately go to eleven exactly. Yeah, shriek that

219
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 4: at people more.

220
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: Often, Jack Armstrong and Joe, The Armstrong and Getty Show,

221
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 2: The arm Strong and Gueddy Show.

222
00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 4: So, speaking of defending ourselves against well, somebody China can do.

223
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 4: The whole salt typhoon hacking attack that you may have

224
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 4: heard of, it was way bigger and more significant than

225
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 4: was even discussed. I think it was last year a

226
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 4: little before that. Apparently the Chinese may have stolen data

227
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 4: from almost every single one of US Americans not to

228
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 4: mention the other eighty countries, well that we're targeted. If

229
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 4: you just started with TikTok, that would be what seventy

230
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 4: percent of the country. I don't know, a lot of

231
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 4: people have TikTok, and that's yea a ton of information

232
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 4: they steal just by if you download that app.

233
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 3: Well, right, right, And I know I have saved that article.

234
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 4: I can't remember who wrote it, but actual, oh, I

235
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 4: think it was Michael Pillsbury wrote The Hundred Year of Marathon,

236
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 4: which is a great book about China's rise and their intent.

237
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 4: But the Chinese intelligence services talk glowingly of TikTok and

238
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 4: what a valuable asset it is. And if that isn't

239
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 4: enough in information for you, I don't know what you

240
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 4: need to hear. But anyway, so, the sweeping cyber attack

241
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 4: by the group known as Salt Typhoon is China's most

242
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 4: ambitious yet targeted more than eighty countries, may have stolen

243
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 4: info from nearly every American. They see it as evidence

244
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 4: that China's capabilities rivaled those of the US and its allies.

245
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: It's not clear.

246
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 4: Whether a lot of the stuff was swept up kind

247
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 4: of accidentally, and whether it's being stored or anything like that.

248
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 4: You know, I personally, knowing a little bit about China's

249
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 4: track record, I suspect that, Yeah, they believe that information

250
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 4: is power. Even if you don't know how you might

251
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 4: use it someday, you just keep it and then what

252
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 4: the fear is that the range of the attack blah

253
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 4: blah blah. Security officials warned that the stolen data could

254
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 4: allow Chinese intelligence services to exploit global communications networks to

255
00:12:54,120 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 4: track targets, including politicians, spies, and activists, everybody's digital footprint.

256
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 4: I wonder if they do they actually have the ability

257
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 4: to like coalesce, keep track of somehow, like they steal

258
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 4: all the information from a twenty two year old in

259
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 4: that person twenty years from now becomes a US senator,

260
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 4: Do they have the ability to keep track of that?

261
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 3: I don't have any on you.

262
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 4: I'll bet with Ai they do now maybe because you

263
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 4: don't have to have some poor analysts like you know,

264
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 4: pawing through millions of pages of digital blankety blank, or

265
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 4: doing Google searches. You just ask AI, Hey, Senator Jones,

266
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 4: what do we have on him? Here's his last known addresses?

267
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 4: Blah blah blah. And in a similar ish story, you

268
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 4: remember when the Trump administration's contentious trade talks with China

269
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 4: were going to begin last summer, staffers on the House committee.

270
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 3: Focused on US competition with China began.

271
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 4: To get weird emails from the committee's chairman, John Molinar,

272
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 4: who is a Republican congressman from Michigan. Several trade groups,

273
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 4: law firms, US government agencies had all received the emails

274
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 4: appearing to be from Molinar, asking for input on the

275
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 4: proposed sanctions with which the legislatures were planning to target Beijing.

276
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 3: Your insights are essential blah blah blah.

277
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 4: Turned out to be the latest in a series of

278
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 4: cyber espionage campaigns linked to Beijing.

279
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: They were impersonating the guy.

280
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 4: Trying to pump anybody for information who's willing to give

281
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 4: it to them, And they tied that to when last

282
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 4: year I think it was somebody used AI to imitate

283
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 4: Marco Rubio's voice, right and had him leaving voicemails to people,

284
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 4: to all sorts.

285
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 3: Of foreign officials. That's going to happen a lot. Oh yeah, yeah, I.

286
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 4: Wonder And just like in everybody's lives, you're going to

287
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 4: get a text that sounds like your wife saying something ridiculous.

288
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 4: I mean, just as just messing with you, isn't it

289
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 4: because so easy? Well yeah, apparently, Well not only do

290
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 4: you have Marco Rubio being not you know, I said,

291
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 4: I almost said convincingly imitated, but it's not.

292
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 3: It's his actual voice symphasized digitally.

293
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 4: It's like, you know, if you're a guitar player, you

294
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 4: know they have these digital amp what do you call

295
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 4: them imitations? There's a word for it, models that actually

296
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 4: take the audio data from you know, a Marshall amplifier

297
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 4: or whatever, and they can replicate it.

298
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 3: You know, the sound waves are the same. So yeah,

299
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 3: it's his voice essentially.

300
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 4: But yeah, you already have grandma's getting calls from their

301
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 4: grandson saying, hey, I got arrested, I need two hundred

302
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 4: dollars bail, blah blah blah, send it right away.

303
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, I.

304
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 4: Wonder whether do the Marcos Rubio of the world and

305
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 4: the foreign ministers of Britain or whatever, do they already

306
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 4: have protocols in place where if I see a phone

307
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 4: call coming in it appears to be from you, for instance,

308
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 4: and you say, hey, I need to talk to you

309
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 4: about blah.

310
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: Blah blah, I've been arrested a ninety Yeah, good luck,

311
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 3: get it yourself. Click. Do they have like code words

312
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 3: and stuff already? I don't know.

313
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 4: I've heard that suggested that families have that have a

314
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 4: code really yes, wow, yeah.

315
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 3: Wow, and none of that. Huh yeah. You'd you'd have to.

316
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 4: Be a little naive or inexperienced in the ways of

317
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 4: the world to fall for this stuff. Still, but that's

318
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 4: that's the thing about scumbags is some of them are

319
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 4: pretty smart and they're good at their jobs. Yeah. I mean,

320
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 4: if I got a phone call from my son, even

321
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 4: if it sounded very convincing, Dad at Sam, I'm in Mexico,

322
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 4: I'm in jail, I think, No, you know you're not.

323
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 4: You're at school. There's no way you ended up in Mexico. Well,

324
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 4: what about I'm two towns over. I was ditching school

325
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 4: and one of my buddies was shoplifting and I was

326
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 4: with them, so I got arrested A four hundred bucks.

327
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, how about now arn a lesson? Click? Uhh yeah,

328
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 3: hang out with better people. Click there.

329
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 4: I think you would probably see where you're supposed to

330
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 4: send the money. Right, Wait a minute, I'm calling the

331
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 4: cop shop right, yes, yeah, but a lot of people

00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 4: don't because they're they're nice. It's no nice, okay.

333
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Getty.

334
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

335
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty.

336
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: Arm Strong and Getty and he Armstrong and Getty Strong.

337
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 4: So it's graduation season, and particularly around colleges, it's the

338
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 4: time of the year where self important liberal get invited

339
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 4: to major universities to give speeches, and then the media

340
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 4: covers them like a news event because they're saying the

341
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 4: sort of thing that most of the media agrees with.

342
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 4: That's what happens well described. There are you know, people

343
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 4: who lean right that go to colleges that lean right.

344
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 4: The few that are, but they never make get a

345
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 4: new news coverage, so you don't hear about them, including

346
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 4: the President for instance.

347
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 3: But here Joe, Joe mentioned this last week.

348
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 4: I've seen this starting to burble up and get more attention.

349
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 4: Where was which university? Was he speaking at?

350
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 3: North Carolina Wake Forest? Wake Forest in South Carolina, Carolina?

351
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 4: I thought wak Force was South Carolina and not unless

352
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 4: it's mood okay, Uh, it doesn't really matter. It's you know,

353
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 4: it's it's your your, it's your major figure of the

354
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 4: left giving a lefty speech. But he went over the top.

355
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 4: And one of the reasons it's so remarkable is he

356
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 4: he's on one of the most important news programs in

357
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 4: the world, Sixty Minutes, which allegedly is trying to be

358
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 4: you know, a nonpartisan hit it down the middle sort

359
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 4: of coverage, or at the very least fair, just be fair,

360
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 4: and a guy with this point of view can't be

361
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 4: doing that. This is Scott Pelley speaking to college graduates.

362
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 6: Power can rewrite history with grotesque, false narratives. They can

363
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 6: make criminals heroes and heroes criminals. Power can change the

364
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 6: definition of the words we use to describe reality. Diversity

365
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 6: is now described as illegal, Equity is to be shunned.

366
00:19:52,800 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 6: Inclusion is a dirty word. This is an old play book,

367
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 6: my friends, there's nothing new in this.

368
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 3: We have another clip that I'm tempted to play.

369
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 4: It's all about the fear, be very afraid, We're all

370
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 4: in grave danger. Goes on and on, but that one

371
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 4: really caught my ear because he claimed that the center

372
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 4: and the right are trying to change the definitions of

373
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 4: words or say that they're no longer acceptable diversity, equity

374
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 4: and inclusion, which we all know exactly what they mean,

375
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 4: and we all know they're wonderful. Those sickos on the

376
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 4: right are trying to change what they mean, which is

377
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 4: just unbelievable. Diversity, equity and inclusion coming out of the

378
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 4: mouths of a leftists mean nothing like you think they mean.

379
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 4: It is a tool of capturing institutions.

380
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 3: Right man.

381
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 4: The left is so good at this game, and they

382
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 4: get to pull it off with the help of the

383
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 4: complying to media. It's like what I was listening to

384
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 4: an NPR today. They were discussing how Trump is trying

385
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 4: to change the way we teach history in America and

386
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 4: all the things he is attacking. Well, you put it

387
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 4: in there. What y'all lead within the last ten years,

388
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 4: what they teach in schools is not the same as

389
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 4: what they taught in schools when ISAA kid, You put

390
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 4: stuff in there that a lot of us don't like.

391
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 4: When Trump tries to take it out, that's not rewriting history.

392
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 4: You rewrote history. He's trying to write it back to

393
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 4: what it was before.

394
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 3: Uh.

395
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 4: Sixty minutes, Anchor Scott Pelly ripped for angry unhinged commencement

396
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 4: speech criticizing Trump. Now that's the New York Post's headline

397
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 4: on that their version of it. But eh, angry and

398
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 4: unhinged is not far off. He said that the uh,

399
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 4: we should all be worried about the insidious sphere that

400
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 4: has infiltrated schools, businesses, and homes across the nation, leaving

401
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 4: America in a state of peril. The country needs you.

402
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 4: The country that has given you so much is calling you,

403
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 4: the class of twenty twenty five. Your country needs you,

404
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 4: and it needs you today the morning. Our sacred rule

405
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 4: of law. This morning, our sacred rule of law is

406
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 4: under attack. Journalism is under attack, universities are under attack,

407
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 4: freedom of speech is under attack, and insidious fear is

408
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 4: reaching throughout the schools and into our private thoughts. All right, boy,

409
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 4: that is just absolutely classic. You spend all of your

410
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 4: time and your career convincing people they need to be

411
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 4: terrified when there's like two thirds of the country that's

412
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 4: not at all, I mean from mildly concerned to very interested.

413
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 4: But no, we're not being torn apart by insidious fear

414
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 4: at all. Scott and the part Right before that little

415
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 4: clip about power that we just played you the fear

416
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 4: to speak in America. If our government is in Lincoln

417
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 4: sprays of the people, by the people, for the people.

418
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 3: Then why are we afraid to speak? What the effort

419
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 3: you talk about? Don't no?

420
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 4: I assume he's referencing that Columbia student that got snatched

421
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 4: up on the campus, and that you were really speaking

422
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 4: about how you're afraid to speak.

423
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 3: Do you see the irony there, Scott? Do I see

424
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 3: the irony there? Oh?

425
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 4: Now, the New York Post says the speech was received

426
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 4: with scattered, scant applause.

427
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 3: That's the New York Post version. I don't know. I

428
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 3: haven't actually listened.

429
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 4: They might say that, and that might not be true,

430
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 4: or it may be true, and it might be because

431
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 4: everybody's barely paying attention and they just want to get

432
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 4: out of there on a hot day. How long is

433
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 4: this going to last? As opposed to not enjoying what

434
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 4: he had to say? But that that is that is

435
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 4: that is just craziness. It is just craziness.

436
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 3: Yeah.

437
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 4: I love the It reminds me so much of when

438
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 4: Komy breeched the president so then he could lake that

439
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 4: leak that the president has been briefed on this Stele dossier. Well,

440
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,959
Speaker 4: so Scott Pelley and his brethren preached being terrified and

441
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 4: in fear all the time. And then he goes to

442
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 4: the graduation ceremony and breathlessly reports and everybody's really afraid.

443
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 4: There's fear, in citious fear going on. Yeah, I wonder

444
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 4: where that in citious fear came from. It's the roughly

445
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 4: third of the country that listens to you and beliefs

446
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 4: your crap.

447
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 3: Don't terrify them.

448
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 4: Then report that they're terrified and act as if somebody

449
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 4: else did it. Well, And as he stands up in

450
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 4: front of a bunch of university kids and said, now

451
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 4: is the moment your nation is calling on you with

452
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 4: all the fear to speak out. Yeah, the fear to

453
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 4: speak out for the past quite a while has been

454
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 4: from anybody to the right on any college campus, because

455
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 4: you'll be a physically attacked and the university will do

456
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 4: nothing about it. As long as you as long as

457
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 4: you speak progressive stuff, you're safe. You speak anything the

458
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 4: other side, you're physically not safe. But you didn't care

459
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 4: about that fear to speak out aspect, did you.

460
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 3: Scott Pelly you, Pampus asked.

461
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 4: Not for a second did you worry about that? And

462
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 4: just to double down on what you're saying. And it

463
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 4: wasn't like the right half of ideaology that was afraid

464
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 4: to speak out.

465
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 3: It was the right eighty percent.

466
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 4: Anything outside of the most radical leftism had to keep

467
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 4: its mouth shut on college campuses. And now Scott Pelley's

468
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 4: preaching that people are afraid to speak out.

469
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh my god, he is a piece of ass.

470
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 4: Freedom of speech is under attack, and insidious fear is

471
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 4: reaching throughout our schools, our businesses, our homes and into

472
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 4: our private thoughts.

473
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 3: What are you a hand?

474
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 4: Show a hans who's got insidious fear going in their

475
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 4: business because they're afraid to speak or whatever. Now, maybe

476
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,239
Speaker 4: the tariffs have got you upset, I'll grant you that.

477
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what that is. I'll tell you

478
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 3: what that's driving that is.

479
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 4: He believes diversity, equity and quality inequality means diversity, equity

480
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 4: and equality, that they mean those words inclusion, mean those

481
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 4: words and not what they've twisted them to mean. And

482
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 4: so that's what he's basing it on. So he is

483
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 4: the useful idiot. He is the big famous, pompous, useful

484
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 4: idiot who doesn't understand Neo Marxism. He just he thinks

485
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 4: it's a moral ark. Well, I'll move on from this

486
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 4: because we don't need to belabor it forever. But do

487
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 4: you think do you think he doesn't know that college

488
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 4: campuses are not a safe space? I hate that term

489
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 4: for anybody to you know, on the right eighty percent?

490
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 4: As you said, right, yeah, does he not ignored us?

491
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah?

492
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 4: I don't think he's a knowledgeable, insidious activist. I think

493
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 4: he is a pompous, rich, famous idiot, probably with big guns.

494
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 4: Oh and tight shirts. Your shirt shrank in the dryer

495
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 4: or something. It's a very tight very impressive for an

496
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 4: older man. I'm very impressive for an older man. Yes,

497
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 4: you pompous pos.

498
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe the Armstrong and Getty Show.

499
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 4: I wanted Joe to make an argument for why I

500
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 4: should be worried about the billionaires and being at the

501
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 4: inauguration and being too close to Trump and whatever. This

502
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 4: all darky that Biden warned us about the other night.

503
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 4: Bernie talked about this lesson yesterday with the Treasury Secretary

504
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 4: some one.

505
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 3: Of your confirmation hearings. Here's Bernie Sanders. We don't talk

506
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 3: about this enough.

507
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 7: And that is when you got three people on top

508
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 7: who well, more wealth than the bottom half of American society,

509
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 7: one hundred and seventy million people. You know what, that's oligaucky.

510
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 7: When you have massive concentration of ownership in our economy,

511
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 7: fewer and fewer corporations owning and controlling the economy, that's oligauchy.

512
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 7: When you have more and more billionares, whether it's Musk

513
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 7: owning Twitter or Murdoch owning Fox, or other billion ass

514
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 7: owning newspapers, that's oligaucky.

515
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 4: As she didn't want to say bezos in the Washington

516
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 4: Post because they're on your side, right, Bryan, Yeah, go

517
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 4: with the who's another conservative Murdoch? Yeah?

518
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 3: That's it?

519
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 4: So well in what way? Well, well, what's the argument

520
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 4: for there shouldn't be billionaires? They've got too much money?

521
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 4: This is an oligarchy. I will tell you this a

522
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 4: couple of things. Number One, if you are if you

523
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 4: hope to be a serious person, a person who of

524
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 4: you it is said, I don't always agree with him

525
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 4: or her, but their point of view is always worth

526
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:24,479
Speaker 4: taking in.

527
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 3: You need to be able to steal man.

528
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 4: The other side's argument the opposite of a straw man,

529
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 4: where you construct a ridiculous parody of their argument that

530
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 4: knock it down and feel all manly.

531
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 3: You see it all the time and it works. You've

532
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 3: got to she dismissed it.

533
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, after a rough day, nothing I

534
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 4: like better than beating the hell out of a straw man.

535
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 4: But you know, you've got to construct a very strong argument,

536
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 4: as they would make it. I've got to admit I'm

537
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:56,479
Speaker 4: finding this argument, this assignment very, very difficult, because I

538
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 4: find the argument's weak. What I would say is similar

539
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 4: to Bernie. You have that much concentrated wealth and power

540
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 4: in a few people with a direct connection line to

541
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 4: the Presidency and the entire executive branch, they will become

542
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 4: a star chamber of the ultra wealthy, directing US policy

543
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 4: to their whims.

544
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I did a good job. Evidently you

545
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 3: know my argument. How would you stop?

546
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 4: How would you first of all, how would you stop

547
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 4: the possibility of that? How would you limit the possibility

548
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 4: of that anyway within the Bill of Rights?

549
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, it can't be done.

550
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 4: There are a couple of like really good counter arguments

551
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 4: against that, even if.

552
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,719
Speaker 3: You admit that it's true. One, what are you going

553
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 3: to do about it?

554
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 4: If your net worth is more than fifty million dollars,

555
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 4: you don't get to a petition the government for a

556
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 4: redress of grievances.

557
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 3: Right, or you're not allowed to talk to your senator

558
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 3: or the president. And speaking of visiting Washington, DC, if

559
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 3: you ever strode along K Street and seen all the beautiful,

560
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 3: shiny buildings that are full of lobbyists, that sort of

561
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 3: thing is already happening in spades every single day.

562
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 4: Obviously because of our bent, it's just so much easier

563
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 4: to take the other side of this.

564
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 3: Statistically, First of all, just start here.

565
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 4: There are more billionaires that donate to Democrats than there

566
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,239
Speaker 4: are donate to Republicans. That's just an unknown fact. So

567
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 4: and Bernie's against that. In his defense, he is utterly misguided.

568
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 4: But Bernie Sanders is sincere true. Bernie is a socialist.

569
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 4: He doesn't think billionaires should exist. That is a nut

570
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 4: job attitude. But Biden is fine with the Democrat billionaires.

571
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 4: He isn't like conservative billionaires. Oh yeah, complete one. Billionaires

572
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 4: switch teams because a lot of times billionaires are just

573
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 4: going with whichever direction see Zuckerberg, maybe whichever direction. Okay,

574
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 4: they're in power, let's make them happy, which you know

575
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 4: is not a bad business model. But first of all,

576
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 4: it's a lot like we mock. If it's going to

577
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 4: be one hundred degrees, everybody gets all excited as opposed

578
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 4: to ninety eight. It's just a round number. I don't

579
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 4: know why somebody who is whose net worth is nine

580
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 4: hundred million dollars is, eh, well, do what you want

581
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 4: to do. But once you hit a billion, you're all

582
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 4: of a sudden suspect I got to kill you.

583
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 3: You've got a billion dollars. I mean that just seems

584
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 3: like so if you got five guys.

585
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 4: In the front row that each have three hundred million dollars,

586
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 4: don't need to think about them. It's the two billionaires

587
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 4: over there that's just silly. Yeah, yeah, you know, I

588
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 4: think this is this is my final word on this,

589
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 4: and it's a very handy thing to keep in your

590
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 4: intellectual back pocket to bust out in case of emergency.

591
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 4: And that is Jefferson's famous declaration not of independence, but

592
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 4: that he would rather attend to the problems of too

593
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 4: much liberty than too little. And there are so many

594
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 4: things like the billionaire argument, because it's, you know, it's

595
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 4: reasonable to say, look, you got people with incredible wealth

596
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 4: and power. They can direct the government in ways not

597
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 4: foreseen by the constitution. It's absolutely true. But the cure

598
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 4: would be worse than the disease. It's it's a you know,

599
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 4: to unfortunately bring up Christinome again. My dog Baxter, God

600
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 4: bless him, still hanging on. He's he's a fabulous dog.

601
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 4: He's very bright, he's very willful. He is like a

602
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 4: disobedient child. He will get away with what he can.

603
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 4: And you know, when I'm in the room, he's good.

604
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 4: But at the minute I walk out of the room,

605
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 4: he's like eight, the bus is gone. Anyway, I could

606
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 4: certainly eliminate a lot of those problems by shooting my

607
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 4: dog like I'm Christino. It would absolutely, one hundred percent

608
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 4: cure those problems. Billionaire follow you No, no, no, what.

609
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 3: Am I Luigi the psychopathic lunatic? No I am not.

610
00:32:58,640 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 7: No.

611
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 4: What I'm saying is gosh, it would be nice to

612
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 4: not have those problems. But if the cure violates your

613
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 4: fundamental beliefs, then you got to find another way. You've

614
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 4: either got to live with it or be more clever

615
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 4: about curing it. And one of the great sick tendencies

616
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 4: of the left, especially but not exclusively the left, especially

617
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 4: if you want to look at history, but one of

618
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 4: their sick tendencies is to say this is a problem,

619
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 4: and this is a solution to that problem, therefore we

620
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 4: must do it. And the idea that we don't get

621
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 4: to do that, we need to just.

622
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 3: Put up with it or help a little bit.

623
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 4: We don't to give ourselves the power to cure that

624
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 4: quote unquote problem would make us monsters. I'm not sure

625
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 4: a lot of the media even has an argument. They

626
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 4: just think that because I've seen a fair amount of

627
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 4: news coverage where it's just Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg,

628
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 4: will all three be attending the inauguration on Monday. There

629
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 4: are the three richest men in the world, and they

630
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 4: plan to sit together and they kind of look at

631
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 4: you like, huh, isn't that scary?

632
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 3: But with no follow up is why it would be

633
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 3: in any way?

634
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 4: I don't right, it's just appealing to like not spelled

635
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 4: out prejudices. It's like if you're in a group of

636
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 4: racists and somebody brings up a black man, for instance,

637
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 4: and somebody says something disparaging about them. Nobody says, all right, now,

638
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 4: let's have a discussion of the positive and negative aspects

639
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 4: of that person's character and whether that was deserved or not. No,

640
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 4: they'll just snicker because they're racists, and that's the way

641
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 4: it is. It's just a tribal signaling thing. I think

642
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 4: they're way wrong on this. I think most people admire billionaires,

643
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 4: wish they could be a billionaire.

644
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 3: Think it's cool. Imagine what it'd be like to be

645
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 3: a billionaire.

646
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,720
Speaker 4: I know there is a crowd college students or whatever

647
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 4: college professors who are just the term billionaire.

648
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 3: The idea of a billionaire makes them sick.

649
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 4: But I think that's like a tiny percentage of the country,

650
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 4: don't you.

651
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 3: I would agree. I don't think most people are bothered

652
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 3: by it.

653
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 4: The politics of envy is incredibly powerful too. But yeah,

654
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 4: I think, and this is crazy. Maybe you want to

655
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 4: jot this down. If a billionaire does something good, why

656
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 4: don't you say that's good? And if they do something bad,

657
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 4: say that's bad. And I don't like it.

658
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 3: We'll go from there, all right.

659
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 4: They are elon trying to rein in the shocking, sprawling,

660
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 4: idiotic growth of the federal bureaucracies.

661
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 3: That's great. Yeah, don't care what his net worth is.

662
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 4: I think it should be pointed out more than the one, two,

663
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 4: and three richest people in the world are all Americans

664
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 4: who made their goal of it from scratch in the

665
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 4: United States of America. Because you can't arm strong and getty.

666
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 3: I'm strong, and I'm strong and
