He has been driven from 30 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: the city. 31 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: Trump has announced he's being pulled out and replaced by 32 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 2: Tom Holman. But so all these protesters with drums and 33 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 2: whistles and all kinds of different stuff, cow bells showed 34 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 2: up to that hotel and been banging all night long, 35 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 2: hoping that none of the agents could get any sleep 36 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 2: and it would help drive him out. But I heard 37 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 2: Jonah Goldberg of The Dispatch had an interesting thing the 38 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: other day about college kids and protests that I'd never 39 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 2: heard or thought about before that I thought was really 40 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 2: interesting on how the curriculum at a lot of your 41 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: top tier schools now there are so many different classes 42 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: about protests, you know, civil rights protests, how protests gained 43 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 2: gay people their rights, how protests blah blah blah. So 44 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 2: there's so many classes about protests, and the way they 45 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 2: talk about it on college campuses is to and he 46 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 2: had some quotes from people just basically saying part of 47 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: the college experience is learning to protest and the value 48 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 2: of protests, which is crazy. I mean that I didn't 49 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 2: get that out of ledge. You didn't go to college 50 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 2: where he did that. I've never protested in my life. 51 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 2: I've never even really thought about it. But so you 52 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: send your kid to super expensive college, they're going to 53 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 2: convince them that no, no, no, no, to be a 54 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: decent human, you need to get involved in all these protests. 55 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. 56 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: Now, as Jonah pointed out, none of the protests, of course, 57 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 2: included like the tea party or anything right leading, It 58 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 2: was all progressive protests. But the result of that is 59 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 2: they get involved in it in college on like a 60 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: costplay level. You know, they're on the quad and they 61 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: do their protesting, and it's preaching to the choir. It's 62 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 2: a whole bunch of people who agree with each other, 63 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 2: you know, protesting outside of buildings full of administrators who 64 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 2: agree with them and are proud of the fact that 65 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 2: they've taught him and wearing their little kaffeas and screeching 66 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 2: as if they're real revolutionary. 67 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: But then what we've. 68 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: Seen happen is they graduate from college and they think 69 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: the rest of their lives it's still kind of just 70 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: a I'm supposed to do this, and it's all just 71 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: kind of acting out right without catching on to the 72 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 2: fact that there are real repercussions for this, including getting 73 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 2: shot depending on what happens. But you know, you get arrested, 74 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 2: or get something on your record that ruins your career 75 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: or what. All kinds of different things can happen. Were 76 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: going out there and blocking cars and doing all these things. 77 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: But I'll bet that's. 78 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: True that we've got millions of young people that have 79 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 2: gone through colleges where they were taught. Now, this is 80 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 2: part of being American, getting in the way of authorities 81 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: doing things that we the college have decided what's the 82 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 2: right things and wrong things. 83 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: To do, and have taught you that those are the 84 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,239 Speaker 1: only things that are acceptable. Yeah, I'd imagine these people, 85 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: if they don't protest something once a month, feel a 86 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: little empty a little bit. 87 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 2: I'll bet you're right too. Where's the rest of us? 88 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 2: It's not part of our lives. We don't think about 89 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 2: where's the nearest hubbub where I can go protest in 90 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 2: this weekend? 91 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: What is making me more insane than virtually anything else 92 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: these days, And there's a pretty decent list, But number 93 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: one is the fact that so little of American society 94 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: understands that this is organized and deliberate, that so many 95 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: people think the protesters in Minnesota are entirely nice Minnesotans 96 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: who just think that Trump administration has gone a little 97 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: bit far. And it's not organized, it's not dedicated Marxist 98 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: groups or financing it and printing the placards and you know, 99 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: shipping the bricks in the case of the George Floyd 100 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: thing or whatever. Finally, actually, and it was buried in 101 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: the opinion pages, but the Wall Street Journal with an 102 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: actual piece about how much of this is organized. It's 103 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: entitled the Democrats Nonprofit Problem, which is even disguising it 104 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 1: even as the guy writes about it. But practically nobody's 105 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: talking about that. That the universities are not accidentally an 106 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: ideology an ideology mill. This wasn't like, well, it's a 107 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: lot of liberal professors and I guess their views kind 108 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: of you know, the students lashed on them. No, it's 109 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: a deliberate plan to turn schools and universities into ideology mills, 110 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: and they've been very successful. There's been so many stories, 111 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: but nobody I don't get it. Like the infamous teacher 112 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: in Sacramento said, my job, I have nine months to 113 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: turn them into little revolutionaries. He's not unique. That was 114 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: not a one off freak. Nobody recognizes how organized these 115 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: people are, and I don't get it. Is it because 116 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: the Left? I mean, it's the old saying from one 117 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: of my favorite movies of all time, The Usual Suspects. 118 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: The greatest trick the Devil ever played was convincing the 119 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: world he didn't exist. Is the greatest trick the Left 120 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: has ever played is convincing most of America that, oh, 121 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: these they are just grassroots protests of local residents who 122 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: are up in arms. I think it is. 123 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 2: So I'm very excited that I got a whole bunch 124 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 2: of things to do today that I really want to 125 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 2: talk about that I think are entertaining that have nothing 126 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 2: to do with politics or Minnesota or lots of things 127 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 2: that are anger inducing. 128 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: They're just really, really interesting. So I can't wait to 129 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: get to those later. 130 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 2: I just saw Malania Trump as a new book out 131 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 2: and her message to America is we need to unify. 132 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: So that's good. I agree. 133 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: And speaking of hot chicks, I'd looked up at Fox 134 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 2: and I thought, Oh, they're interviewing the bachelorette. No, that's 135 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 2: the assistant DHS secretary. 136 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: Have you seen her. 137 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 2: She's like a young Christy Noman. She's like probably what 138 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 2: Christy Nome looked like when she was twenty five or whatever. 139 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: Blonde headed, Yeah, but brunette, haughty in charge and not 140 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: have a blonde, hotty assistant. 141 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 2: Wow, you got to be a type to make it 142 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: the Trump administration. I have figured out what if I 143 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 2: were president, how would handle that whole thing? I want 144 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 2: to talk about that later, the question of hatties, No, no, no, 145 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 2: the thing in Minneapolis, or just the whole question in general. 146 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: You know what I'm going to do when we come back. 147 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 2: I've got a couple of Chuck Norris jokes for you 148 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 2: that I think will put a smile on your. 149 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: Face because it came up in conversation flights on last night. 150 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: We're entertaining who's Chuck Norris? 151 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 2: And what's the thing I had to explain to him, 152 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: and then we looked up some of the better Chuck 153 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 2: Norris jokes, so we'll have that in just a second. 154 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 2: First we need to start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. 155 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 2: He's Joe Getty on this It is Thursday January twenty seventh, 156 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 2: he or twenty twenty six where Armstrong and getting and 157 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 2: we approve of this program. 158 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: All right. Here comes a roundhouse kick to the jaw 159 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: of the evil Deers, precisely according to f says FCC 160 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: rules or regulations. Here we go ahead, Mark. 161 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 3: So you know, I think, to be fair, none of 162 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 3: us fully know how to control AI systems. Like you know, 163 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 3: I can't tell you there's a one hundred percent chance 164 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 3: that even the systems we build are perfectly reliable. We 165 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 3: do everything we can to make them more reliable. Every day, 166 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 3: we run tests, we advocate for regulation of the technology. 167 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 3: But I think the problem is when you have a 168 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 3: lot of players, the dangers are set by the least 169 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 3: responsible players. 170 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: That's the guy that runs Anthropic, that's clawed.

It sounded like two people eating 348 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 2: a watermelon. It was just doesn't make a difference what 349 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 2: they look like. No, no, that doesn't mean a couple 350 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 2: in the back seat depends on what they look like. 351 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: I mean, they're kicking you are adjusted in the mirror. 352 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: The sick sick sick man. 353 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 2: Uh coming up and I look forward to getting to this. 354 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 2: Katie's wide eyed?

More and more and more information. 359 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 2: Keeps coming out about the benefits of exercise for lengthening 360 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 2: your life, for your physical well being and your mental 361 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 2: well being, and has a little list here in the 362 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,239 Speaker 2: New York Times in which sports are best for that. 363 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: So I do want to talk about that. I'm interested 364 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: myself in that topic. So uh. I mentioned a little 365 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: bit earlier how one of the things that's making me 366 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: nuts these days is that I think the vast majority 367 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: of people, and the vast majority of people in the 368 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: media tend to either downplay or not recognize at all 369 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,959 Speaker 1: the extent the extent to which a lot of the 370 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: protests we see are the fruit of organized groups that 371 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 1: are are well funded and are deliberately fomenting chaos in 372 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: the United States. Their goal, as stated by themselves in 373 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: their little newsletters and their books and their meetings, that 374 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: they have is, Hey, we want to finance anybody who's 375 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: pissed off at the government so they can cause maximum 376 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: cast blah blah blah. They are no more secret than 377 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: the Boy Scouts or you know, I don't know, you 378 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: pick your organization, my wife's quilting guild. They're quite out 379 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: in the open with what they're doing. But most of 380 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: American society considers any any talk of that is like 381 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: paranoid or or I don't know. Maybe it's that we're 382 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 1: so in love with the notion that every protest is 383 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: mL King, you know, and and his cohort, the lunch. Yeah, exactly. 384 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: They're all righteous and grassroots and very American. I don't know. 385 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 2: Why everyone, including me, don't look at all protests through 386 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 2: this lens. Remember during was it during COVID, before COVID, 387 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 2: when was it that we all found out the Russians 388 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 2: were promoting alternate protests in New York City. It was 389 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 2: some big event, but it was they had the pro 390 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 2: side and the anti side Facebook group that had been 391 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 2: organized by the Russians, and you got people out on 392 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 2: the streets chanting and angry at each other, and the 393 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 2: whole thing was put together by another country. Wanting to 394 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 2: sew discord and it was proven, it was known, and 395 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 2: yet we still, like what you're saying, kind of just 396 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 2: pretend that didn't happen or can't happen again, or isn't 397 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 2: half the protests you see aren't formed by some other 398 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 2: I don't know, right, And just it's very very rare 399 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 2: that anybody, for instance, asks wow, how did they get 400 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,479 Speaker 2: all those placards so quickly? And they're all professionally produced, 401 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 2: and they all say the same thing. 402 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: I mean, the ugly thing just happened last night. But 403 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: again it's viewed as the province of the paranoiac or something. 404 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: To talk about how organized these groups are. I just 405 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: want to run through a couple of headlines before I 406 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: get to the main gist of this. Halmum Donnie's Democratic 407 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: Socialists ties with Chinese officials. This is a piece in 408 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: Newsweek that is about the minutes of the DSA meetings 409 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 1: the Democratic Socialists of America that showed participants discussing their 410 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 1: contacts with officials from China's ruling party in the name 411 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: of anti imperialism, with some members saying the organization should 412 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: avoid topics that are sensitive for Beijing, like the threats 413 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: to invade Taiwan, security crackdown in Hong Kong, and the 414 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: abuses of the weig Or minority. This is an actual 415 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 1: political party in the United States, just got the mayor 416 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: of New York City elected and they are making contacts 417 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 1: with China to help them fight quote unquote anti imperialism. 418 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: Where are the headlines other than at newsweek dot com. 419 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: That is a big story. I wish, you know, if 420 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: we were Joe Rogan, we would do three and a 421 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: half hours on this and I read this entire thing. 422 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 1: This is the Bishop of the Episcopal Church of New 423 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: Hampshire in the United States about a week ago, two 424 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 1: weeks ago. The the title of his his screed as 425 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: sermon was a New Age of Martyrdom, and it was 426 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: all about how those who call themselves Christians must be 427 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: ready to die for opposing the evildoers. And and it's 428 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: not some sort of vaguely spiritual you know, opposing that 429 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: which is evil in the world, blah blah blah. We've 430 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: got to be able to, you know, sacrifice ourselves. 431 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 2: No. 432 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: He specifically named checks, George Floyd and Minneapolis. He mentioned 433 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 1: Steven Miller and the Trump administration that we all need 434 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: to be prepared to be I need to be willing 435 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: to die to protest ice. I'm not there. Uh yeah, 436 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: I know. Uh. And so that brings me to and 437 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: this this gratified me a great deal because this is 438 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: one of my ge hodds these days. You're your top three. Really. 439 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: Barton Swain, who's an opinion writer for the Wall Street 440 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: Journal the other day, came out with a piece that 441 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: got very little attention. Democrats nonprofit problem. A vast moneyed 442 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: network of activists keeps the public inflamed. The unfolding debacle 443 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: in Minneapolis captures an underappreciated fact about the Democratic Party. 444 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,479 Speaker 1: It is configured to react in an unreasoning rage to everything. 445 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: President Trump does the challenge of messaging how to condemn 446 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 1: roundups of illegal migrants without defending protesters. Lawlessness is only 447 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 1: a symptom of the problem. The problem itself arises from 448 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: the byzantine network of activist nonprofits created and fostered over 449 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 1: last decade and have by liberal foundations and progressive billionaires. 450 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: And then he goes into where the money's flowing, particularly 451 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: since the pandemic and the George Floyd riots in twenty twenty, 452 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: the progressive donor class has spread its largest to advocacy 453 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,719 Speaker 1: and activist organizations pushing quote unquote social justice, which, as 454 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: Thomas Soul points out, is the opposite of both those 455 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: things immigrant rights, Palestinian statehood, LGBTQ plus minus rights, Indigenous 456 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: people's rights, and as ever, climate sustainability. And they go 457 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 1: into the huge amount of money that's changed hands, and 458 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: then he points out about half of the electorate disapproves 459 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: of the arrests and deportations carried out by Immigrations and 460 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: Customs enforcement officers, about half, which is not surprising. But 461 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: the anti ICE protests in Minneapolis are not primarily or 462 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: maybe at all, the spontaneous uprisings of an outrage citizen. 463 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 1: Rate Governor Tim Watson a televised address that sounded like 464 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: a narration of Crystal Knocked. They're breaking windows, dragging pregnant 465 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: women down the street, just playing grabbing Minnesotans and shoving 466 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: them in on Mark Van's kidnapping innocent people with no 467 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: warning and knew no due process, urged viewers to record 468 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 1: ICE operations on their phone. Ordinary people don't do that, 469 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 1: nor do they park their cars to obstruct law enforcement 470 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: operations or gather outside hotels in the wee hours to 471 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 1: chant and bang drums or smash those hotels because a 472 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: rumor of the hotel rented rooms to ICE agents. Activists 473 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: do those things, and he credits the Free Beacon for 474 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: finding the Sunrise Movement, a group found into stage disruptive 475 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: climate protests, wants a piece of the anti ICE action. 476 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: Sunrise is training activists to plague hotels and car rental 477 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: companies that do business with ICE. Open Society Foundation that's 478 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 1: the Soros organization has given Sunrise two million dollars in 479 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: the last couple of years. The Ford Foundation has given 480 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: it seven hundred thousand over the past two years, McCarthy 481 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: foundation a quarter of a million dollars. And then he 482 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: writes about how the virtues of charitable giving and deplores 483 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: political The campus protests since twenty twenty three were similarly 484 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: orchestrated by a lattice work of anti Zionist organizations, many 485 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: larded with money from left wing foundations, Open Society, Tides 486 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: and so on. It's tough, I don't doubt any of this. 487 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,479 Speaker 1: It's tough though, because we've got a history of this. 488 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 2: The reason we talked about this last week after MLK 489 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 2: Junior's birthday, and about the classified files that are going 490 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 2: to come out next year, that different sort of stuff. 491 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 2: The reason the FBI was spying on all those civil 492 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 2: rights leaders was they were afraid this was all orchestrated 493 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 2: by the Soviet Union and it wasn't real and organic. Well, 494 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 2: there were communists around the country trying to sow discord, 495 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 2: but this was mostly a real thing, obviously, the civil 496 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 2: rights movement. But they were so concerned that it was 497 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 2: just being put together by the Soviets, our enemy, that 498 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 2: they were spying on everyone all the time. 499 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: Right, Well, I just say investigate openly according to the 500 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: laws of the United States, and if you find groups, 501 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 1: for instance, Andy Knows reporting far left extremists linked to 502 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: Antifa and anarchist and communists, extremists are encouraging comrades to 503 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: go to Minneapolis as delegates for an armed uprising against 504 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: the United States government.

Most civil wars 507 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: are actually only fought in a few locations, though they 508 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: affect the entire national territory. It's actually important for people 509 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: who are able to send delegates to Minneapolis in order 510 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,199 Speaker 1: to get a sense of what is possible and what 511 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,959 Speaker 1: is at stake.

Apparently, if you're all readily 547 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 2: already mentally ill ill or mentally ill adjacent, things can go. 548 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: Off the rails really fast. Those of us that are 549 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: mentally healthy. I'm assuming I am. Some of you would disagree. 550 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 2: Those of us who are mentally healthy are not that 551 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 2: susceptible to it. But if you're kind of, you know, struggling, 552 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 2: apparently you're pretty susceptible to it, which is really scary. Boy, 553 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 2: I could see that. 554 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: I mean, because the person who's really struggling is already 555 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: in a push and pull with reality. Yeah, but really 556 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: their only ally is themselves, their own brain. If you 557 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: can get them a good solid like super intelligent, you're 558 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: absolutely right.

I 562 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 2: also want to talk about my son and I watched 563 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 2: that Netflix special about the guy that climbed that tall 564 00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 2: building over the weekend. 565 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: Everybody some highlights of whoo is that something? We talk 566 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: about that later? Oh man, I'm not sure I could 567 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,959 Speaker 1: watch that's that's gonna be my point? Oh really?

Here's your freedom. I'm moving quota today 572 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: from Ben Franklin, once again continuing our series when men 573 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: different opinion, both sides ought equally to have advantage of 574 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: being heard by the public, and that when truth and 575 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: error have fair play, the former is always an overmatch 576 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: for the latter. M Now we need to outlie hate speech. 577 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: Well done, Ben, Well done, mailbag. Feel free to drop 578 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: us a note mailbag and Armstrong and Yeddy dot com. 579 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: We'll laid off from with Ryan from Houston, Dear Cold 580 00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: Pooka and old Fancy Jack. Can we in a follow 581 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: up question, when an elected official says we ought to 582 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: abolish ice, do they mean another federal organization takes up 583 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: immigration reform? Do we go back to just not enforcing 584 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: it at all? Are you ever going to do your 585 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: bloody gg job and pass new immigration laws? Right? If 586 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: they were honest, they would just put up the iPad 587 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: and ask how much you want to donate one hundred percent. 588 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 2: I can't believe, well, I can't believe. Actually nobody gets 589 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 2: to that question. As I said in the press conference 590 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 2: on Sunday morning, there wasn't a reporter in that room 591 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 2: that believes we should enforce our immigration laws. 592 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: Right, it's all tribal signaling, and nobody even cares that 593 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: it's all tribal signaling. Excuse me, or do you have 594 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: any facts? Or what do you suggest we do if 595 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: we do what you're suggesting? No, it just nobody even 596 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: thinks of following up. It's bizarre. I got this note 597 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: from Jeff in Spain. I don't know if you've come 598 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: across things like this before or not, but I was shocked, 599 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: kind of, sort of to see this on my sister's insta. Admittedly, 600 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: she's always been an idealistic unicorn jockey with desires to 601 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,959 Speaker 1: fight the man plus emptiness divorced currently, but the gleeful 602 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: announcement of role playing Dungeons and Dragons nerd o rama 603 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: style really makes me nervous with protests he's talking about. No, 604 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: she isn't hoping for tank status, and I'll explain that 605 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: in a second. Bot what if the guy next to 606 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: her is spicy? Indeed? And here's her post. I'm going 607 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: to multi class wizard barred with a side of fighter. 608 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: Here I come, welcome to protesting. Choose your class. Fighter, 609 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: you marching demonstrations, tank, you put your body between the 610 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: vulnerable and the cops, attacks, rogue, flood snitch lines with 611 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: false reports, oh KPE cop face cams, etc. So you 612 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,959 Speaker 1: flood the reporter of crime lines, something healer, provide medical 613 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: support and supplies to protesters, bar blah blah blah, chemist, wizard, 614 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: support caster. No matter your skills and resources, there's a 615 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: class for you to play in a role you can fill. 616 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: So they're specifically going after the nerd rama. I love 617 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,359 Speaker 1: to larp class and telling them, hey, this is what 618 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 1: you love, but in the real world, come out on 619 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: the streets. You could be a tank or a wizard. 620 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 2: The poor guy that got killed seemed like he was 621 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,439 Speaker 2: that kind of guy, and he would have been a tank, 622 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 2: I guess, because what he was trying to do is 623 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 2: get between the uh, the officers and some woman who 624 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 2: had run at them and then they had shoved away 625 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,280 Speaker 2: and he was trying to get between them, and well, that's. 626 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: Exactly he was trying to go for tank status. And 627 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: then somebody comments, why is there no option for those 628 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: who want to go about their business on the farm 629 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: and stay out of the war. The replies, because NPCs, 630 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:58,399 Speaker 1: that's non player characters, because NPCs aren't heroes. Wow, these 631 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: people really really have blurred the line between dungeons and 632 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: dragons in real life. And they're absolutely wonderfully useful stooges 633 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: for the activists JT and livermore with a great note 634 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: about what was missing from my list Jonathan Height's list 635 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 1: of how to ruin the Next Generation, and he says 636 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: he really enjoyed it. But there used to be at 637 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,280 Speaker 1: least one bedrock red line that virtually everybody agreed needed 638 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: to be preserved in politics, the sanctity of children. It 639 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: used to be understood and agreed almost universally, that everybody 640 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,399 Speaker 1: believed and supported the notion that children were sacrosanct. They 641 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,760 Speaker 1: weren't exploited for political purposes. Their pictures weren't published in papers, 642 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: either as victims or perpetrators or crimes. But somewhere along 643 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: the line, one political party is abandoned that bedrock principle. 644 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 1: They decided to teach children that white people are irredeemably 645 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: racist evils. Teachers' unions leveraged children's educations to gain financially. 646 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: Politicians closed schools during COVID against the science, against the 647 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: best interests of the children for perhaps no better reason 648 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: than Trump said we should open the schools. Generations created 649 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: Title nine to specifically protect young women in sports, but 650 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: now we no longer protect young girls or give them 651 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: access to girls only sports and spaces. And then he 652 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:14,280 Speaker 1: goes into the Joseph Mengela style disfiguring of little children 653 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: are confused about their gender. So, whatever it was that 654 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: allowed millions of people to suddenly abandon the traditional protected 655 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 1: status of children, that's a key part of how you 656 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:22,720 Speaker 1: ruin a generation. 657 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 2: Yikes, we had a lot more and all kinds of 658 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,760 Speaker 2: different stuff to talk about. If you miss a segment, 659 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,319 Speaker 2: get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand look Forward, 660 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 2: looking Forward to or two Armstrong and Getty
