1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty. 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Gatty, and he Armstrong and Getty. 4 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 3: An MSNBC analysts claimed that Donald Trump wants to take 5 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 3: anyone in America and disappear them, presumably by booking them 6 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 3: as an analyst on MSNBC. 7 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 2: Low Radio. 8 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: I was just reading this article about Corey Lewandowski and 9 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 1: Christy Noms. So Christy Noman is the way too glam 10 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: for my taste. Department of Homeland Security Secretary. I don't 11 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: know why she gets hold dolled up the way she does, 12 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: for like. 13 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 2: Visiting El Salvador in prisons. But the thing that. 14 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 4: Bothers me that's way over the top is when she 15 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 4: has the I have wet shiny lips lips stuff. 16 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 2: Oh geez, I don't like the way you said wet. 17 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 2: Something off putting about that. Wow? Excuse me? It's called 18 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 2: a gloss, you weirdo? 19 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: Yeah? 20 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 2: Why lips? Wow? Yeah? What's the why the wet lips stuff? 21 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,199 Speaker 1: So is Corey Lewandowski her chief of staff or chief 22 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: with a staff? That is the question that seems to 23 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: be going around, is they there seems to be an 24 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: inappropriate relationship between the two. 25 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 2: Are we just gonna let that go? Michael, I'm just 26 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 2: gonna let it go. I was kind of proud of that, 27 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 2: all right. 28 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 4: So Rich Lowry of the National Review wrote a great 29 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 4: piece about the fact that tomorrow is the two hundred 30 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 4: and fiftieth anniversary of the Ride of Paul Revere, Vaunted 31 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 4: and story and song and poem and the rest of it. 32 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 4: The the poem only semi accurate, and it's fine. For instance, 33 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 4: he absolutely probably didn't say the British are coming because 34 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 4: everybody still considered themselves British. 35 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: Listen to my children, and you shall hear that one, 36 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: that poem. Yeah, the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. He 37 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: almost certainly said the regulars are coming out, meaning the regular. 38 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: British troops anyway. 39 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 4: So getting to Rich Lowry's story, sure enough, we've long 40 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 4: told our kids and ourselves of the cinematic events in 41 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 4: April seventeen seventy five, when the famous silver Smith warned 42 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 4: the countryside of approaching British troops and the American Revolution 43 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 4: kicked off in earnest. Like all legendary events, Revere's ride 44 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 4: in the battles of Lexington and Conquered have been encrusted 45 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 4: with myth. It's almost certainly not the case that he 46 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 4: yeld the British are coming center, and Revere didn't ride alone, 47 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 4: and he didn't even make it to Concord. The British 48 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 4: briefly captured him. And the role of the celebrated minute 49 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 4: men tends to be exaggerated. 50 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. 51 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 4: But such minutia side that day two hundred and fifty 52 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 4: years ago still deserves to be celebrated in prose and poetry, 53 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 4: and is every bit as extraordinary as you might have 54 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 4: learned when you were a child, before we decided we 55 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 4: didn't like our own history and heroes so much anymore. 56 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: And you said, it's sooner than fifty years ago tomorrow, 57 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 2: correct sir, the nineteenth of April. 58 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: I was there on vacation a couple of years ago, 59 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 1: and I did the walk slash drive through the whole thing, 60 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: Lexington Concord, and it is It's very cool. Oh, I'd 61 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: love to do that. I can't believe I haven't anyway. 62 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 4: Hoping to maintain operational secrecy, the British sent a contingent 63 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 4: out at night from Boston to capture reputed stores of 64 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 4: weapons in Concord. They were immediately noticed and the whole 65 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 4: one of my land two of by sea plan that 66 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 4: Revere and has we discussed last hour. Roughly thirty other 67 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 4: craftsmen and mechanics had come up with a plan to 68 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 4: monitor the British movement of troops round the clock and 69 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 4: to warn the Patriots if they started to move in 70 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 4: an aggressive way. And indeed so the part about the 71 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 4: old North Church lantern is absolutely a real thing, and 72 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 4: the race was on. It is really Lowry Wright's one 73 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 4: of the most dramatic episodes in American history. Paul Revere 74 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 4: and others rushing to warn the countryside, and the British 75 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 4: troops marching through the night, not briefed on their mission, 76 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 4: hearing guns and bells sounding alarms all around them. Lexington 77 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 4: was on the way. The militia mustard as a show 78 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 4: of force, not seeking a fight. No one knows who 79 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 4: fired the shot heard round the world. It may have 80 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 4: been an inadvertent discharge, but the British then fired volleys 81 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 4: and charged with bayonets, killing eight. Concord was now fully 82 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 4: on alert again. There was a wary standoff again someone 83 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 4: fired during this confrontation at north Bridge. The British got 84 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 4: off a volley, then the Colonials returned fire with deadly effect, 85 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 4: and shockingly, the British ran. 86 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: Their rank swelling. 87 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: The Colonials harried the regulars along the narrow battle Road 88 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: as they retreated back to Lexington, with the places where 89 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: the fighting was especially intense known by names such as 90 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: the Bloody Angle and Parker's Revenge. This reminds me a 91 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: little bit of the opening days of the war in 92 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: Ukraine of a similar situation, in that the Russians met 93 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: way more resistance than they thought, and the the home 94 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: people are much more motivated to defend their families and 95 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: homes than the Russians that wondered why are we even here? 96 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: In the Brits many whom we thought, why are we 97 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: even here? 98 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 2: Right? Yeah, that's an excellent point. 99 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 4: And I tell you what, if you hear about places 100 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 4: named the Bloody Angle in Parker's Revenge and don't get 101 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 4: a bit of a chill, You're made of different stuff 102 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 4: than me. Members of the militia did not, as popular 103 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 4: imagination believes, largely act on their own inspired initiative. They 104 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 4: were well led the Americans repeatedly stood in formation against 105 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 4: the British regulars during the course of the day. Historian 106 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 4: David Hackett Fisher writes it was an extraordinary display of courage, resolve, 107 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 4: and discipline by citizen soldiers against regular troops. The more 108 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 4: dispersed fighting along the battle road later on was itself 109 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 4: the product of a colonial plan to avoid direct confrontation 110 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 4: with a now reinforce much larger British force. By the 111 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 4: time they made it back to Boston, the British had 112 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 4: suffered a true mauling, experiencing roughly three hundred casualties to 113 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 4: one hundred for the colonials. The Americans ensured that the 114 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 4: words spread far and wide, and the effect was electric. 115 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 4: Thomas Paine, who had only recently come to America, felt 116 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 4: that quote the country into which I just set my 117 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 4: foot was set on fire about my ears. John Adams 118 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 4: said that Lexington quote changed the instruments of war from 119 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 4: the pen to the sword. If Lexington and Conquered were 120 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 4: small scale engagements and the schemes of things, the reverberations 121 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 4: were enormous, they sent a message that a defiant American 122 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 4: population wouldn't be easily subdued. Wadsworth concluded his famous poem 123 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 4: with the lines through all our history to the last, 124 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 4: in the hour of darkness and peril and need, the 125 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 4: people will awaken and listen to hear the hurrying hoof 126 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 4: beats of that steed and the midnight message of Paul Revere. 127 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 4: May it be so, writes Rich Lowry. Beautiful job as usual, Rich. 128 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: I wish I could remember what book it was I 129 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: read fairly recently about this. 130 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: But Revere was captured along with the guy who's riding 131 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 2: with They. 132 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: Got beaten real good by like rifle butts and stuff 133 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: like that by the Brits and got out of there 134 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: somehow to continue riding. 135 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 2: But it was way more violent and dicey than you know. 136 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: The poem leads you to believe, right, it was not 137 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: romantic and gallant and a horse ride of shouting. Yeah, 138 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: you got the hell beat out of him the But 139 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: it's just it's been true throughout history, and for obvious reasons. 140 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: If you're fighting with your own home, wife and kids 141 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: at your back, you fight differently than if you're a 142 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: occupying force working for a paycheck. Don't really care that 143 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: much whether you're there or not, and whether it's shooting, 144 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: so nobody shoots you Russians in Ukraine or circum circumstances 145 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: sometimes the Northern soldiers in the South and the Civil 146 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: War and Us in Iraq. 147 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 2: There's all kinds of examples. 148 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, I was gonna bring up Afghanistan, and you 149 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 4: know that just needs to be remembered. And it's the 150 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 4: point I've made many times through the years. You can 151 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 4: have the most righteous mission in the world. You can 152 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 4: be backed by the majority of a population of a place, 153 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 4: but they get tired of being occupied really really fast. 154 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: As we would as well as we were at the time. 155 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 5: Yeah. 156 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: Always remember in one of Shelby Foot's books about the 157 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: Civil War, he's got a quote in there from some 158 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: Southern soldier who gets captured after a bloody battle in 159 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: the Northern Guys Union guys ask why are you fighting 160 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: so hard? And he said, because you're here just thinking here, 161 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: you're in arm might you're in my yard? 162 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, fight to the death for that. Yeah. Yeah. 163 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: Uh. 164 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 4: We will post a link to this piece by Rich Lowry. 165 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 4: I'm not sure the paywall situation. National Review does a 166 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 4: great journalism anyway. Maybe you want to subscribe, but that's that, 167 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 4: you know what. 168 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: I'm a little bummed today. We got this. 169 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: We'll play a little bit later, this this bit about 170 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: coloring eggs from Jimmy Kimmel.

I think it's helpful to point 254 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 1: out that the true beginning of due process began with 255 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: John Adams defending the British soldiers after the Boston massacre. 256 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: He thought it would end his career and ruin his reputation, 257 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: but was convinced it was the right thing to do anyway, 258 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 1: that everybody deserved to due process, even the British soldiers. 259 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: And if you have not seen that play out, you 260 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: should watch that HBO series with Paul Giamati as John Adams. 261 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,119 Speaker 2: It's really good. 262 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: Yesterday, Joe brought us some fascinating information about Elon Musk 263 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: and his many children and how the whole thing works. 264 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: Did that include you mentioning that, well, I'll just read 265 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: this text and I don't remember this part or not. Wait, 266 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: Elon's been getting all these women pregnant with in vitro fertilization. 267 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 2: Dude, I've got a way cooler method you should try. Well. 268 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 4: No, I think he does it the old fashioned way. 269 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 4: Mostly what he was suggesting to I think it was 270 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 4: Ashley Saint Clair was that they combine his most excellent 271 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 4: spermatozoans with her delightful ovum ova and implant them in 272 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 4: a bunch of mothers because he thought that they were 273 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 4: a super great pair to reproduce. But you can't breed 274 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 4: an army one kid at a time, so he's going 275 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 4: to farm out the project to surrogates. 276 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: I wonder what his goal is if he's on kid 277 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: fourteen at age fifty three, and unlike women, as a dude, 278 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: you could keep doing this, you know. 279 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 2: The rest of your life. I wonder how many kids 280 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 2: he's thinking. I mean, is he. 281 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: Gonna like get into Crazyville, like forty fifty kids? 282 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 2: Yeah? 283 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 1: I think as many as possible as his goal. 284 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 4: Wow, within the bounds of And we talked about this 285 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 4: yesterday hour four I think gravitfive podcast Armstrong and getting 286 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 4: on demand if you missed it. But the way he 287 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 4: manages the women and pays gives them a lump sum 288 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 4: and then a monthly like one hundred thousand dollars a 289 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 4: month allowance to raise the kid, but then he might 290 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 4: makes them sign non dispara agreements. NDA's it's all very 291 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 4: complicated and certainly odd from the perspectives of somebody with 292 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 4: a much more traditional lifestyle like myself. 293 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, so the figure you were the reporting was fifteen 294 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: million lump sum and then one hundred thousand a month 295 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: to Miss Saint Clair. Yeah, indeed, just that little romulus. 296 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: Is that for life or is that for till the 297 00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: kid's eighteen? 298 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 4: Well, she had some objections to the contract, specifically that 299 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 4: it wasn't terribly specific about what would happen if Elon 300 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 4: died before the kid hit twenty one, because I think 301 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 4: that was one of the answer to your question. 302 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 2: That's kind of easily taken care of. I mean. 303 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 4: You would think, but yeah, it's a culture of don't 304 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 4: challenge him, just play along, and he will make it 305 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 4: very much worth your while. 306 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: Once you got your fifteen million dollars, I think you're 307 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: in decent shape. 308 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 2: I mean, unless you're really bad, you got to pay 309 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 2: it back. 310 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: If you disparage him, you'll break the agreement. Yeah, wow, 311 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: that's the contract. So you come, you go to TMZ 312 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: and say Elon's a bad dad and you owe him 313 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: that you got to pay back to fifteen million dollars 314 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: which you probably spent most of correct. Yeah, yeah, well, 315 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's an interesting arrangement you got into anyway. 316 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 2: But so his rockets seem to be very, very good. 317 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 2: Somebody brought up last Hour. 318 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: So there's a certain theory with the Mungams and with 319 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: Elon that his genius and I think he is a genius, 320 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: will translate to the. 321 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 2: Kid you have. 322 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: But somebody pointed out last hour. There's not a lot 323 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: of examples of that. I mean, we just were mentioning 324 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: John Adams, John Quincy Adams. There's one example, but there's 325 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: not like regular examples of Thomas Edison's kid or Einstein's 326 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: kid or whatever, or athletes or you know, it happens 327 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: now and then, but not usually. 328 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, they have different goals and motivations. Of course, they're individuals. 329 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 4: They might be really into, you know, writing about opera 330 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 4: or history or whatever, and no interest in forging ahead 331 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 4: in physics, for instance. 332 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: So you got fifteen million dollars one hundred thousand dollars 333 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: a month, and you might have a dumb kid. You know, 334 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: or Thomas Edison's kid just wanted to play the banjo. 335 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 2: I don't know. Did he have kids? 336 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: So I don't know, right, Yeah, that's gonna be interesting 337 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: to watch. I'll bet Elon's gonna end up with forty 338 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: fifty kids, whichard could be crazy, could be so coming up. 339 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 4: Harvard announced that they need to offer remedial math classes 340 00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 4: now to the most exclusive university on a plan. And 341 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 4: part of the reason for that is because common Core 342 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 4: was such a miserable failure. Yep, sure, and you knew it, 343 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 4: didn't you trying to help your kids with their homework. 344 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 2: You're right, all of us parents knew it. You know. 345 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 2: Look forward to complaining about this, Armstrong and Getty. 346 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 7: A dozen eggs are going for more than six dollars 347 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 7: according to the national average. 348 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 1: You might have seen the. 349 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 7: Social trends plastic egg decorating and dying marshmallows, and potatoes. 350 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 7: All it takes is a little food dye you probably 351 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 7: have in the back of your pantry from last. 352 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: Year, and egg shaped potatoes. 353 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 7: Both options are a fraction of the cost of a 354 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 7: dozen eggs. 355 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 6: I think to dye potatoes because we can't afford eggs 356 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 6: is the reason our grandparents left the old country. 357 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 8: Good. 358 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 2: You know what you want, you know what you can 359 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 2: do if you can't buy eggs. 360 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 3: Eggs are suggestions, are good suggestions. 361 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 6: Just tell your kids you hid the eggs really really 362 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 6: well this year. 363 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 2: How do you dye a plastic egg? 364 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 4: You know, that's the perfect example of a social media 365 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 4: trend that. 366 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: Doesn't exist on Earth. 367 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 4: It's only nobody's dying blanking potatoes. Egg shaped potatoes, no 368 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 4: first social media trend. I don't think anybody's in a 369 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 4: situation where that extra dollar from what they cost a 370 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 4: year ago is going to keep you from being able 371 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 4: to do it. 372 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 2: And if you are, that's I feel for you. 373 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 1: But like, sell some plasma today or a steal, do something, 374 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: but don't make your kids die egg shaped potatoes. 375 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 2: Wow. 376 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: Wow, So coming up a little bingo banngo bongo of headlines, 377 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: A lot of stuff going on. We'll just touch on 378 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: a lot of it briefly. But I was struck, as 379 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: so many were, that even Harvard is now having to 380 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: offer remedial math classes because our nation's government schools are 381 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: doing such a poor job of preparing kids for college. 382 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 2: That's crazy. I can't believe you're qualify for Harvard, yet 383 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 2: you need remedial math. 384 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 4: I've been hearing for years about remedial English and writing 385 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 4: in particular courses in a lot of universities for kids 386 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 4: who are accepted into what are quote unquote the elite universities. 387 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 4: And you know, not to brag or anything, we're the 388 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 4: product of our upbringing in the education that was offered 389 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 4: to us, and our own driving curiosity. 390 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 2: But the idea that. 391 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 4: You could get admitted into well I went, you know, 392 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 4: to University of Illinois, for instance, and not the reasonably 393 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 4: competent at math and reading is just astonishing to me, 394 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 4: especially given and any parent of a high school or 395 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 4: can tell you this right now. It's extremely competitive to 396 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 4: get into these schools. What does all of that mean, Well, 397 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 4: it has to do with great inflation and the dumbing 398 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 4: down of education in the country. It's been a miserable failure. 399 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 4: But I thought this was interesting. The Harvard is not 400 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 4: labeling the new course remedial. The official se that the 401 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 4: course quote is intended to support students who face early 402 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 4: challenges in their math courses. 403 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 2: In other words, it's remedial. 404 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: So they quote an expert in the California Globe is Zuomi. 405 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: Mister is Zumi. What's his first name? 406 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 4: I don't know, but he does great work, Oh, Lance 407 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 4: Zumi of the Pacific Research Institute. He says much of 408 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 4: the reason for the poor performance of American students is 409 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 4: because of the failed progressive math teaching methods and curricula 410 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 4: pushed on schools by the National common Core Math Standards, 411 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 4: which were adopted by most states in the early twenty tens. 412 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 4: Under common Course math standards that tried and true standard algorithms, 413 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 4: meaning step by step operational methods for addition, subtraction, multiplication, 414 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 4: and division were de emphasized, while progressive and often confusing 415 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 4: methods such as drawing pictures to solve fractional multiplication problems 416 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 4: were prioritized. The result was widespread student math failure, with 417 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,959 Speaker 4: a federally funded study finding the common Core has had 418 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 4: a significant negative impact on eighth grade math achievements and 419 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 4: that this negative fact effect has increased over time. 420 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 2: This is not a shock to any parent who dealt 421 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 2: with this. 422 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: I was starting roughly ten years ago. My kids got 423 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 1: into elementary school and they were doing math like grade 424 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: school math that I couldn't help them with. And I 425 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: was a math guy, and I couldn't help them with it. 426 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: And I talked to lots of people like, Oh, we've 427 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: gotten emails from people that were like literally rocket scientists 428 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: who couldn't help their kids with their math because it 429 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: made no sense. 430 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 4: You know, that method of teaching makes sense to a 431 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 4: small number of kids who, for whatever neurological reasons, see 432 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 4: the world that way. 433 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 2: Well, good for them, you know. 434 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 4: And I'll go ahead and get to my usual punchline 435 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 4: on this, and then there's more information on this, which 436 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 4: to me is really interesting. But education is so overloaded 437 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 4: with administrators, number one, and with people with phony advanced degrees, 438 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 4: masters and PhDs that are completely unnecessary to the task 439 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 4: of educating children. They did a hell of a job 440 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 4: not very long ago without a bunch of PhDs running 441 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 4: around your local elementary school. Well, if you are a 442 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 4: would be, you know, a leading light in your industry, 443 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 4: you're never going to become one by saying the stuff 444 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,479 Speaker 4: we've been doing for the last seventy years, it's perfect, 445 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 4: it's great. Really, we don't need to tweak it hardly 446 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 4: at all. Let's just keep going. You will never become 447 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 4: a leading light that way. The last innovation, how. 448 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 1: About the last seven hundred years when it comes to 449 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: basic math, right, right, yeah, seven thousand. 450 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 4: Archimedes is spinning in his grave anyway. So there's this 451 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 4: never ending push to innovate, even at the expense of 452 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,719 Speaker 4: the kids. And it's all supported by the teachers unions 453 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 4: who work to quash And I remember at the time 454 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 4: anybody who was saying, hey, common course crazy and it 455 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 4: doesn't work. You're portrayed as some sort of right wing. 456 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: Fascist, right and then a lot and a lot of something, 457 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: not a lot, But some of the teachers were completely 458 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: aware of this because I ended up in a situation 459 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: where one of my children was struggling with the math 460 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: and they said, look, look, just to do the flash cards. 461 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: Do the old fashioned way, the flash cards, okay, some 462 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: memorizing math facts because they didn't want kids to have 463 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: to do that for some reason. Yeah yeah, wow. 464 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 4: So back to mister Azumi, he said, a major study 465 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 4: by the ACT Test found that from twenty ten to 466 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 4: twenty twenty two, a dozen years, the grade point average 467 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 4: in high school English, math, science, and social studies courses 468 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 4: among students taking the ACT College Inferance Test increased year 469 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 4: over year, while their ACT scores decreased in every one 470 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 4: of those subjects. 471 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's we know why that is. 472 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 1: They lower the ball to get more passing grades or 473 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: straight a's. You're not learning more. They just make it 474 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: easier to qualify for an A. It's the what's the 475 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: good what principles? My favorite thing I've ever learned in 476 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: my life. Yeah, Goodhart principle. Once a measure becomes a goal, 477 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: it ceases to be a good measure. And that's exactly 478 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: what happened there. And there's all kinds of examples through life. 479 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: Once you think about it, this is a perfect one 480 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: right there. Once they measure became a goal, the goal 481 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: was we need more people who were straight a's, or 482 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: we need more people who pass Okay, then you change 483 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: the structure to get. 484 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 4: That result, right thumbs on scales in short. Yeah, final 485 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 4: note from mister Zuomi. In my book, I conclude that 486 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 4: too many K through twelve schools are putting political ideology 487 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 4: over what works, whether it be a misguided equity agenda 488 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 4: that seeks to dumb down learning to the lowest common denominator, 489 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 4: or progressive curricula and instructural methods that are being used 490 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 4: in intellectual defiance of him empirical evidence showing that they 491 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 4: are ineffective and are damaging children. 492 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 2: Then he goes into great inflation. 493 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 1: How dangerous it is, and then how miserable things are 494 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: in the state of California, since this is the California globe, 495 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: and what an utter failure education is in particular compared 496 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: to Florida. 497 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 2: But enough of that. 498 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: You're right all along, folks, you were right all along. 499 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 2: Man. That's frustrating. 500 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: If you spent many hours sitting around the table trying 501 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: to figure out how to help your kid with their math, 502 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: they get frustrated, You get frustrated, and it was all 503 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: freaking a waste of time, complete freaking waste of time, 504 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: no need whatsoever. 505 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 2: God, that makes me angry. 506 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: Man. 507 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 4: If I was a zillionaire, I would figure out a 508 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 4: way to grow some of the great private school the 509 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 4: fundamental schools that exist in the world. I'm aware of 510 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 4: John Adams Academy. I was just talking to somebody involved 511 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 4: in that the other day, and there are a number 512 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 4: of worthy examples around the country. But man, I would 513 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 4: like to somehow fertilize their growth and their affordability for 514 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 4: average American families, because you know, talk shows the talk 515 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 4: radio is the land of hyperbole. 516 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 2: It's like the Internet. 517 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 4: But I swear I'm not trying to be hyperbolic when 518 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 4: I say this is a terrible, almost fatal disease. 519 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 2: We have in this country. 520 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 4: How perverse in and effect of our education systems have become. 521 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 4: And it ought to be just coast to coast, a 522 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 4: national priority to sort it out. But there are moneyed 523 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 4: interests who are standing in the way. 524 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 5: Well it. 525 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: You know, after many generations of you could count on 526 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: as a parent, you know, my kid waits out there 527 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: at the bus stop, he gets on the bus, he 528 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: goes to school, he learns, he's going to learn what 529 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: he needs to learn. He's gonna come out, he's gonna 530 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: be able to be a productive citizen in the world 531 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: like I did. Like I did, you could count on it. 532 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 1: You didn't have to worry about it. But those days 533 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: are over. But it's just it's a lot easier to 534 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: think you can just drop your kid off at school 535 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: and they're getting what they need. No they're not, probably, 536 00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: and you've got to stay on top of it. And 537 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 1: it's very frustrating. 538 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. 539 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 4: It absolutely is a few more stories squeeze in the court. 540 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 4: A appeal Federal Appeals Court yesterday delivered a striking rebuke 541 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 4: to the Trump administration's renewed challenge to an order that 542 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 4: is seeking the return of that guy who needs to 543 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 4: be returned from the Salvador in prison. The court called 544 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 4: it a shocking or is a quote it must facilitate 545 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 4: the return. The government is asserting a right to stash 546 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 4: away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the 547 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 4: semblance of due process that is the foundation of our 548 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 4: constitutional order. Further, it claims in essence that because it 549 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 4: has rid itself of custody, that now nothing can be done, 550 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 4: said the Reagan appointee judge, writing for a unanimous three 551 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 4: judge panel of that appeals court. 552 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 2: This is not over. 553 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: The biggest question mark on that whole story to me 554 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: is why did his wife try to get a restraining 555 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 1: order on it, claiming he was beating her and was 556 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: so violent and all this sort of stuff. And the 557 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: quotes are out there from the actual legal documents, and 558 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: now is saying he's a great man. That wasn't true, 559 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 1: I didn't mean it or something. I wonder what's going 560 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: on there? Yeah, boy, it could be half a dozen 561 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: different things. Could be lots of different things. 562 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, fear being cajoled by activists, being bribed, Yeah, some 563 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 4: sort of you know, they were about to get divorced 564 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 4: when she made the original claims. Who knows with something 565 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 4: like that, But not impossible that somebody gets to her 566 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 4: with here's a lot of good things that will happen. 567 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 1: To you if you just say he's a good dude. 568 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. 569 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, well, you know you want your kid to 570 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 4: go to school in this country, We can take. 571 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: Care of that, go to college or whatever. Here's a 572 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:44,479 Speaker 1: little fun to get you started. 573 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 4: Our our buddy, mister Soros, who is behind a lot 574 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 4: of the protests that are going on right now, as 575 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 4: always finances it. But yeah, absolutely true. Go ahead and 576 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 4: roll a clip ninety Michael. I wanted to touch on this. 577 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 8: President has spent eighty seven days at the highest level 578 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 8: of its government repeatedly taking efforts to bring this war 579 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 8: to an end. We are now reaching a point where 580 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 8: we need to decide and determine whether this is even 581 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 8: possible or not, which is why we're engaging both sides. 582 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 8: We need to figure out here now, within a matter 583 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 8: of days, whether this is doable in the short term, 584 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 8: because if it's not, then I think we're just going 585 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 8: to move on from our perspective. 586 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 587 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: Secretary of State Marco Rubio there said the US would 588 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: pause its efforts to negotiate an end of the war 589 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: in Ukraine if progress isn't made in the coming days, 590 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: in an attempt to put pressure on Kiev end Moscow 591 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: to compromise. 592 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 2: I have not seen Moscow compromising at all. No, No, 593 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 2: what is next the next step? No idea. 594 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, the Euros are going to hold a meeting that 595 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 4: Rubio said, I'm happy to go to if there's any 596 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 4: point in it. But this, the prospect of some sort 597 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 4: of peace agreement is completely out to see at this point, 598 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 4: completely out to see. It was from the beginning. I'm 599 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 4: out of order here. I meant to mention that that 600 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 4: Senator Van Holland from Maryland met with the deported mister 601 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 4: Abrego Garcia. And the only reason I bring that up, 602 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 4: or wanted to, was because the wise cracking president of 603 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 4: El Salvador Na bo Kelly continued his sarcastic comedy tour, 604 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 4: saying that after the meeting, now that he's been confirmed healthy, 605 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 4: he gets the honor of staying in El Salvador's custody, 606 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 4: so we're not turning them loose. 607 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 2: Anyway. 608 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: So he's still there and will remain so until further notice. 609 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: Opinions are like elbows, as they say. But here's an 610 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: opinion for other people saying more earthy version of that 611 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: that I would say, which I don't say because I'm 612 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: you know, classy. 613 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 2: But everybody knows that. 614 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: At least one high profile business saying there are going 615 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: to be thousands, then many, maybe millions of American small 616 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: businesses go bankrupt this year if this whole Chinese tariff 617 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: thing doesn't go away. We can explain that at some 618 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: point that that's a that's that's quite a prediction. 619 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 4: And Bertie Sanders spending a quarter of a million dollars 620 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 4: for private jets on his fighting oligarchy tour. 621 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 2: You with us all all the way, stay here.

This was important for us to 684 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 5: do because tourism to space isn't for everyone. We weren't 685 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 5: just going to space. We were making space for all 686 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 5: of you to watch us.

Well, there's a lot to mock 689 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 2: in the whole thing. 690 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever that was the point had the biggest backfires 691 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: in recent memory, but it was delightful. We all needed 692 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: a moodlift, didn't we, folks. 693 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. I'd like to thank the ladies for that. 694 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, Armstrong and Getty
