0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Thanks's some sort of audio difficulty there.

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 3>It has been corrected. Okay, this is going well so far.

0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>It's a good start.

0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 3>It's a good Thank God.

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 4>The spaceflight with the chickstra went off more smoothly than this. Yeah,

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 4>we've been to imagine if we lost Gail King.

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.400
<v Speaker 1>We'd been mocking that, and look, if we had been

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>in charge, that's what would have happened.

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:09.680
<v Speaker 3>We would have lost Gail King and Katy Perry.

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, today much to contemplate today Wednesday, we're under the

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:15.679
<v Speaker 1>tutelage of our general manager.

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm going with autism researchers.

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.960
<v Speaker 4>Okay, of attention and discussion lately about autism and its causes.

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.959
<v Speaker 4>Our FK Junior made a hell of a statement, But

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.039
<v Speaker 4>that's just part of the discussion as we try to

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 4>understand what it is, where it's coming from, and if

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.720
<v Speaker 4>there's any thing that can be done to prevent it.

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.440
<v Speaker 3>Is that why it's in the news so much because

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:37.640
<v Speaker 3>of what r FK Junior.

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Said Oh that's part of it. Yeah, okay, cool, And

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm all for talking about that. It doesn't get talked

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 1>about enough.

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 3>Do you have?

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 1>And we don't have to talk about this here. I

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>just I'm it bothers me a little bit that I

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>don't feel like I've got my head wrapped around the

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Is he a gang member? Is he not a gang member?

0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Sent to El Salvador court? Thing coming back? Blah blah blah.

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel like I got head wrapped around that.

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel like you have your head wrapped increasingly?

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Although it's funny.

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.839
<v Speaker 4>I was just gonna say on that topic, the more

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 4>I learn about it, the more interesting it becomes and

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:16.520
<v Speaker 4>the less clear it becomes. As most stories, the way

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 4>it's presented in most of the media is oversimplified, and really,

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, the conflict the Trump versus somebody else's.

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Aspect of its really played.

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 4>I can opposed to the Wow, this is really an

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 4>interesting question before the courts?

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 1>All right? Can we start here before we get into

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:38.359
<v Speaker 1>even the complicated part. Is he an MS thirteen gang

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 1>member or not?

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:40.919
<v Speaker 2>Two?

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Court?

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 3>From what I understand? Tell me if I'm wrong.

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I was watching MSNBC last night as I've been trying

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:50.520
<v Speaker 1>to understand the story. More story more, saying the Trump

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 1>administration claiming he's a gang member without evidence. Fox and

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Friends watching it this morning says, two courts have said

0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>he's an MS thirteen gang member.

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't know that to be true.

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>It could be, it could be the See this is

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 1>where it gets fishy.

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:10.959
<v Speaker 3>It's like saying.

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 4>The court's found Trump guilty of molesting that gal in

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 4>the department store. No, it's a very different standard of

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 4>proof for a civil trials.

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 3>He was found civilly liable. Okay.

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:30.360
<v Speaker 4>There's a very different standard of proof for like a

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 4>conviction for gang activity as opposed to immigration naturalization, saying, look,

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 4>dudes here illegally, we have reasonably he's an MS thirteen guy.

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 4>We want to heave his ass out, and the court says, yeah, okay,

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 4>go ahead. It's a very different standard proof. So I

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 4>want to be careful about how I state various things.

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 4>And is him being a gang member merely a political question?

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 4>As in practically everybody in America wants MS thirteen gang

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 4>members kicked out, and they don't unfortunately or unfortunately.

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Don't care about the method that is used to do that.

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>But politically. I'm just talking politically here. It was a

0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>it would be a win to kick out gang members.

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, But legally speaking, is it make a difference

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>with due process or anything whether or not he's a

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 1>gang member?

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 3>No? Is.

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 4>He's a good person. I wouldn't think so. But yeah,

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 4>and again, and this is where it gets so fudgy.

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 4>You said, if he is a gang member, what do

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 4>you mean by he is? Depends on what the meaning

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 4>of his is, Monica. So he could have been a

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 4>gang member and he could say I quit two years ago.

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.359
<v Speaker 3>I'm right, or you say I am. I'm not.

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 1>I demand a hearing. I've never been any damn gang.

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 4>But if to courts say he is, he is, isn't

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 4>he legally speaking? Well no, That's what I'm trying to

0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.840
<v Speaker 4>say is they didn't necessarily find O wee hairby rule

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 4>this man is an MS thirteen member. They just said

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 4>to the ins, okay, if you want to go and

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:02.159
<v Speaker 4>kick him out. There was no finding whatsoever, because I

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 4>don't know what the process is if you're an illegal.

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 4>He had a final deportation order. He just wasn't supposed

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.480
<v Speaker 4>to be deported to El Salvador for what was a

0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 4>fairly weak from what I understand, claim that a gang

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 4>will take you know, they'll knock my head in if

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 4>I show back up in El Salvador.

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:22.040
<v Speaker 3>Uh huh.

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.720
<v Speaker 1>And according to commentators who I know and trust and

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 1>aren't like always on Trump's side, in fact off and

0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 1>against it, have said his asylum claim was pretty weak.

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>So if you watch Fox, he's always referred to as

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:38.640
<v Speaker 1>an MS thirteen gang member. Democrats are trying to get

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.880
<v Speaker 1>an MS thirteen gang member back into the country blah

0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 1>blah blah, or said. If you watch anything else mainstream

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 1>news or other cable channels, they refer to the person

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:53.280
<v Speaker 1>as a Maryland father and Little League coach, right, because

0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.719
<v Speaker 1>of course one could never be both. I mean, well, yeah,

0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.720
<v Speaker 1>that's it. Certainly couches it differently. Oh yeah, that's what

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. It's ridiculous. Yeah, I don't know. I get

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 1>so tired of the the pandury media.

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:11.760
<v Speaker 3>Uh maybe I don't.

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if it's age or cynicism, but I

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:18.599
<v Speaker 4>find the actual questions so much more interesting than.

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 1>My ij You're fine, dumb, I mean, I just I'm

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>tired of it, right, Yeah, I agree, it's a more

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 1>interesting question to say he was a member of a really,

0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:33.119
<v Speaker 1>really bad gang. But everybody gets due process, so we

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 1>were figuring that that makes it a more interesting story,

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 1>not less. So, yeah, what are our standards for kicking

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.200
<v Speaker 1>somebody out of the country? And I know a lot

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 1>of folks listening right now would say he's an illegal immigrant.

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 1>You know what, just prove that I don't care if

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:54.279
<v Speaker 1>he's an MS thirteen guy or or volunteers.

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 3>At his local orphanage. It doesn't matter.

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.279
<v Speaker 1>And I have a fair amount of sympathy for that argument.

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:00.800
<v Speaker 4>Here here's one part I've had very very interesting because

0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 4>I hadn't understood it until yesterday that Trump and Marco

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:10.840
<v Speaker 4>Rubio was being quite forceful in saying a judge has

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 4>no role in dictating this country's foreign policy. And at

0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.120
<v Speaker 4>the time I thought that sounds kind of like a stretch,

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 4>because the judges said you deported him wrongly.

0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 3>One of your lawyers admitted it.

0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 4>Although that guy's on leave now and so you got

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 4>to undeport him.

0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 3>But now I get the argument that Marco was.

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 4>Making, which is, so I have a judge telling me

0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 4>I need to contact a foreign government and negotiate some

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 4>sort of compromise. In our relationship with that country, which

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 4>is expressly foreign policy, which is exclusively given to the

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 4>executive branch to execute.

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.880
<v Speaker 1>And the president of that country saying I have got

0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.680
<v Speaker 1>I haven't got the power to grab somebody out of

0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.600
<v Speaker 1>prison and ship him to another country. That's what it

0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:03.560
<v Speaker 1>probably does.

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there's a bit of kabooki theater going on there

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 4>too politically, But like I said, that's I find all

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 4>that much more interesting than just my side, yea, your

0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:13.200
<v Speaker 4>side boom.

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:13.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>But at the base very beginning of the story of

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>whether or not we can grab somebody like that and

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 1>boot him out without due process, that ought to be

0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 1>figured out. Sure, yeah, I'm all for that. But and

0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:25.480
<v Speaker 1>the reason.

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 4>Being, in case you're not hip to this sort of thing,

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 4>so very briefly, is if people like us say no,

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 4>the president can do whatever he wants because he's right. Well,

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:39.079
<v Speaker 4>when President AOC is in office, God help us, and starts,

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 4>you know, deporting anybody who loves this country, you know,

0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:46.200
<v Speaker 4>and and come here illegally but as a or just

0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:49.320
<v Speaker 4>there are a thousand different examples of suspending you know,

0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.600
<v Speaker 4>the due process that we're guaranteed by the Constitution. Let's

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:56.000
<v Speaker 4>tiptoe very carefully into that minefield. That's all we're saying,

0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:57.559
<v Speaker 4>because the shoe is going to be on the other

0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:58.200
<v Speaker 4>foot soon.

0:08:58.480 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 3>Sure, he's inevitable always happen.

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Declared Trump supporters a terrorist group, and so give them

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:05.560
<v Speaker 1>lesser rights than everyone else.

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.600
<v Speaker 4>Right, Yeah, you got some jackass or riots or shoot

0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.839
<v Speaker 4>somebody in the name of up with Trump, and all

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:15.320
<v Speaker 4>of a sudden, the greatest terrorist threat. You remember when

0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 4>when Biden in company, we're saying, the greatest terrorist threat

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 4>against the United States is these right wingers. Oh yeah,

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:25.520
<v Speaker 4>because we've seen a lot of that. Huh. Anyway, think

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 4>what they could do if you know, they could get

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:32.079
<v Speaker 4>played really fast and loose with due process, but politically,

0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:33.079
<v Speaker 4>just politically.

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:37.120
<v Speaker 1>So you got some Democrats that are going to go

0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.439
<v Speaker 1>over there and visit the guy in prison, is the plan.

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:41.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that. I don't think that's a win

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 1>for you. I think the average barely paying attention to

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 1>American is just going to see you standing up for

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 1>MS thirteen when nine out of ten Americans want them

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 1>booted out of the country.

0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 3>So I don't think that's going to work for him

0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:55.640
<v Speaker 3>the way they think it is going to.

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.200
<v Speaker 4>I agree completely like the boys whooping up on girls

0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 4>in sports thing. They are on by far, I mean

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.680
<v Speaker 4>by a million miles the wrong side of that issue.

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh absolutely, And you know, we gotta move on because

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 1>because I'm dying and I won't be here for the

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.880
<v Speaker 1>rest of it. But also Britain's Supreme Court just hours

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 1>ago ruled that trans women do not fall within the

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.720
<v Speaker 1>legal definition of women under the country's equality legislation. And

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:25.040
<v Speaker 1>they're all kinds of ripples that come out of that ruling.

0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 1>And it was women fighting it and standing up and

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 1>saying is particularly in Ireland, a women's group saying, you

0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 1>can't have they passed a law that you had fifty

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 1>you had to have fifty to fifty men women on

0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 1>these various boards or trans women on there. Regular women

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:45.720
<v Speaker 1>said that doesn't count, that's not cool, and fought that,

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>And now Britain has ruled no, no, no, you got to

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.120
<v Speaker 1>be a born a woman, biological woman.

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 3>Woman.

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there's only one kind of woman, biological woman. I

0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.360
<v Speaker 4>consider that term redundant, and that's gonna ripple out into

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:57.880
<v Speaker 4>bathrooms and all that other stuff. So we got to

0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 4>talk about that later. Let's start officially. I'm Jack Armstrong.

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 1>He's Joe Getty on this it is Wednesday, April sixteenth,

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.719
<v Speaker 1>they or twenty twenty five or Armstrong and gettying, and

0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:07.679
<v Speaker 1>we approve of this program.

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 4>Let's begin then officially according to FCC rules and regulations,

0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.199
<v Speaker 4>Ladies and gentlemen, here we go at Mark.

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 5>I really resent that people are calling it a ride.

0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:22.480
<v Speaker 5>We duplicated the trajectory of Alan Shepherd's flight back in

0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.360
<v Speaker 5>the day. No one called that a ride. A ride

0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:27.600
<v Speaker 5>sounds frivolous, it sounds insignificant.

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:28.079
<v Speaker 6>It is.

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 5>This was a bona fide flight. So you know, I say,

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:33.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm sorry. There are haters.

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:37.480
<v Speaker 1>There's always gonna got the clown show is over.

0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:37.839
<v Speaker 5>It's not.

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:39.720
<v Speaker 1>It's let me in that camp. A lot of people

0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.600
<v Speaker 1>are bothered by the whole crew fighting as a crew,

0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Like when you take Southwest from San Francisco to La

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 1>are you a part of the crew, a flight crew, No,

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.640
<v Speaker 1>you're a passenger. It was a ride there, sorry, Gail King,

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.680
<v Speaker 1>it was a ride. You just looked out the window.

0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 3>Please.

0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Some people think this is just a ride, and inconsequential, yes,

0:11:58.120 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>we do.

0:11:58.679 --> 0:11:59.520
<v Speaker 3>I think it was a ride.

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:04.600
<v Speaker 4>And in cut and then and then Alan Shepherd sang,

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:06.960
<v Speaker 4>what a wonderful world to John Glenn.

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 1>He did, Oh my God, didn't cry. Everyone cried.

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:17.240
<v Speaker 4>Get very reminiscent of those early space flights, the Mercury Mission.

0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.760
<v Speaker 1>That is funny. Okay, we've got Katie's headlines on the way. Hi,

0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm Katy Perry. Let's go to space perfect. All that's

0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:30.000
<v Speaker 1>on the waist to hear. I'm interested to see if

0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:34.720
<v Speaker 1>this ruling by the Supreme Court in Great Britain gets

0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.680
<v Speaker 1>any traction here in the United States. It was a

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.480
<v Speaker 1>nine to nothing ruling. By the way, this The New

0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.400
<v Speaker 1>York Times doesn't mention that until the last paragraph. It

0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 1>was a unanimous decision. No, no, trans women don't count.

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:52.920
<v Speaker 3>So no, you don't get to do that as a

0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:56.440
<v Speaker 3>regular woman. Yeah. I just I don't even like to

0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 3>term trans women.

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 4>I think it begs the question in the classical meaning

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:06.160
<v Speaker 4>of that phrase. It the very statement says that they

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:10.599
<v Speaker 4>are women. Anyway, who's reporting what's the lead story with

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:11.120
<v Speaker 4>Katie Green?

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 6>Katie Fireway starting with ABC News, China says it's quote

0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:19.440
<v Speaker 6>never afraid to fight amid tariff throats.

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 4>There you go, all right, yeah, yeah, we know you're

0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 4>always saying stuff like that we'll fight till the end.

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 3>We'll fight.

0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.440
<v Speaker 1>You can't take as we're mighty, we're powerful, we'll fight.

0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:29.760
<v Speaker 3>Okay, great.

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 6>From the Washington Post. Judge says Department Justice. Department must

0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:38.800
<v Speaker 6>provide details of attempts to return accidentally illegally deported man.

0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 1>So the Supreme Court says, you gotta bring him back,

0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.960
<v Speaker 1>but it's not clear you have to make the effort

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:46.719
<v Speaker 1>to bring him back, or what's enough effort to bring

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:47.079
<v Speaker 1>him back.

0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:51.120
<v Speaker 4>And the initial order, which was supported by the Supreme Court,

0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:55.199
<v Speaker 4>said you must facilitate him coming back. And Trump said,

0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.679
<v Speaker 4>so if he comes back, we won't keep him out.

0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 4>That's facilitating And the judge said that's not facilitating enough.

0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.160
<v Speaker 1>And this is probably going back to the Supreme Court.

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:10.599
<v Speaker 6>From the cal Globe, Harvard now offers remedial math, acknowledging

0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:12.199
<v Speaker 6>America's math collapse.

0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 3>I want to talk about the whole battle with Harvard and.

0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:23.280
<v Speaker 4>The Trump and the administration trying to become like a

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:27.760
<v Speaker 4>papa to Harvard and supervise their hiring, their curriculum and

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 4>stuff like that.

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Not really comfortable with that. So you can get into

0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Harvard and need remedial math, Yeah, yeah, yeah, wow, and

0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:44.640
<v Speaker 1>writing too from the Free Beacon, the Geezer is back.

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 6>Biden says, quote, roughly thirty percent of Americans.

0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Have no heart.

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 1>From the Wall Street Journal. I don't know if you

0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:57.240
<v Speaker 1>guys are talking about this on the air off the air,

0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 1>but from the.

0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 6>Wall Street Journal, Trump and his is gold guy are

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 6>redecorating the White House.

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we know set one. The other day we saw

0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.640
<v Speaker 1>a picture Trump sitting there and behind him. Wow, where'd

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 1>all the gold come from? It's already happened there in

0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:12.520
<v Speaker 1>the oval. Yeah.

0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 4>I just saw the headline read like a sentence of it.

0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.080
<v Speaker 4>But his guy who gold plates everything for him at

0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.280
<v Speaker 4>mar A Lago, has been turned loose on the White House,

0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:20.000
<v Speaker 4>I guess more or less.

0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's lots of gold trimming edges, stuff that looks

0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 1>like you're in a Chinese restaurant.

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:27.760
<v Speaker 3>It's the Gold House now. Yes.

0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:32.680

<v Speaker 6>with the caption I kissed the ground and I liked it.

0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.720

<v Speaker 3>All right, Katie, So that's just.

0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:56.480
<v Speaker 4>Wendy's, which has become famous, fairly famous for its snarky

0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.520
<v Speaker 4>and funny social media presence, has nothing to do with

0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:00.960
<v Speaker 4>it whatsoever.

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:05.600

0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 6>will outshine you?

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:13.400
<v Speaker 1>What?

0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:14.440
<v Speaker 3>What that a thing?

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I didn't worry about how good looking your bid is.

0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know this until I read this article.

0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:21.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I've heard that.

0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:25.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm just is it a specific woman who's getting bashed?

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.480
<v Speaker 6>This is a specific bride? Yes, but it's bringing the

0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 6>trend to attention.

0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:30.800

<v Speaker 3>That's good.

0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:47.760
<v Speaker 1>That's almost place has to have a sense of humor.

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 3>By the way, yes, it's almost believable that California would

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:51.440
<v Speaker 3>do that.

0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.400
<v Speaker 1>You have to have ramps in case somebody wants to

0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:54.880

0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:56.600

<v Speaker 3>Crisis we are going to have in this country.

0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:12.440
<v Speaker 1>If people can't afford coffee in the morning, the number

0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.000
<v Speaker 1>of workplace stabbings is about to go through the room

0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:19.360
<v Speaker 1>workplace stabbings.

0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:20.359
<v Speaker 3>No kidding.

0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I know someone who wears a T shirt regularly that says,

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:27.000
<v Speaker 1>coffee makes me less murdery. It's amazing how ramped up

0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.040

<v Speaker 1>I would act oh good for you, really just grumpy?

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.760
<v Speaker 1>You know who can tell the difference. We're going to

0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:45.800
<v Speaker 1>get into some of the autism stuff that's been in

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.200
<v Speaker 1>the news a lot, and we will a little bit later.

0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:52.840
<v Speaker 1>RFK Junior, in his very unique way, has brought autism

0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:57.359
<v Speaker 1>back into the world as a topic, which it's surprising

0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:01.120
<v Speaker 1>that he ever left, but has been said about trying

0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 1>to figure out what causes it and how we deal

0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:04.639
<v Speaker 1>with it and diagnose it and all that sort of stuff.

0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:06.160
<v Speaker 3>So we'll be getting into that a little bit later.

0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned this big announcement that Britain Supreme Court rule

0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:14.160
<v Speaker 1>that trans women do not fall within the legal definition

0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:18.159
<v Speaker 1>of women under the country's equality legislation. I wonder if

0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.440
<v Speaker 1>that's going to have any ripples in the United States.

0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine how it would not. I can read

0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 1>a little bit from it. The landmark judgment, which said

0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.280
<v Speaker 1>that the legal definition of a woman is based on

0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:35.200
<v Speaker 1>biological sex, is a blow to campaigners for transgender rights.

0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:37.399
<v Speaker 1>This is The New York Times writing, and could have

0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 1>far reaching consequences for how the law is applied in

0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Britain to single sex spaces, equal pay claims, and maternity policies. Yeah,

0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:47.159
<v Speaker 1>I'd say far reaching consequences, as in, if you were

0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 1>if you're calling yourself a trans woman, you're not going

0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:52.720
<v Speaker 1>to get to go into the women's bathroom under the

0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:56.160
<v Speaker 1>current rulings. Almost certainly, yes, Katie, I saw.

0:18:56.640 --> 0:19:01.360
<v Speaker 6>I saw this great meme earlier that said having men

0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:02.480
<v Speaker 6>in women's locker rooms?

0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Are you kidding me?

0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:04.840
<v Speaker 6>I don't even like it when my husband's in the

0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.800
<v Speaker 6>bathroom with me, which is so true.

0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's something we men would not understand. This follows

0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 1>a year's long battle over whether trains women can be

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:18.840
<v Speaker 1>regarded as female under Britain's twenty ten Equality Act, which

0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:22.639
<v Speaker 1>aims to prevent discrimination. But it was a nine nothing

0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:26.119
<v Speaker 1>decision of the court that the terms woman and sex

0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:30.040
<v Speaker 1>and the Equality Act twenty ten refer to biological women

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and biological sex only, so they can if a place

0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:41.080
<v Speaker 1>wants to, certainly can expand that very easily to bathroom sports,

0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:43.879
<v Speaker 1>whatever the heck you want to apply it to nine nothing.

0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:48.800
<v Speaker 1>I can't even believe this is a conversation.

0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:51.000
<v Speaker 3>And well, I think that's where most Americans are.

0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:54.320
<v Speaker 1>In fact, polling shows it is like eighty twenty ninety

0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:57.520
<v Speaker 1>ten that say, yes, I can't believe.

0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:59.640
<v Speaker 3>This is even a conversation. I believe this even had

0:19:59.640 --> 0:19:59.919
<v Speaker 3>to go to the.

0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.560
<v Speaker 1>But it's it's the only time that I can think

0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:08.040
<v Speaker 1>of in my life that Europe has been to the

0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:12.919
<v Speaker 1>right of us on an issue, and the liberal left

0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:17.119
<v Speaker 1>has to feel like Europe is out of step and

0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.720
<v Speaker 1>that we're more enlightened than they are by continuing to

0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:23.240
<v Speaker 1>push this whole trans thing because Europe has been against

0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the operating on kids and everything for a long time.

0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:28.919
<v Speaker 1>You know, It's funny though, on COVID Europe was the

0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:31.360
<v Speaker 1>same way. Europe was more reasonable than us on COVID.

0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Mm hm wow, a bunch of bigots. Yeah, it's a

0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:40.760
<v Speaker 1>little problematic anyway, this is something that happened overnight, and

0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll be interested to see what kind of news coverage

0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:44.879
<v Speaker 1>that gets. Speaking of COVID, which I rarely do and

0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 1>don't want to, it just occurred to me. I was

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:51.200
<v Speaker 1>talking to our executive producer Hansen, whose kid is sick

0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:54.600
<v Speaker 1>with the same symptoms I have. I have full on

0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:58.600
<v Speaker 1>COVID symptoms. I went to the doctor I had and

0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even cross my mind that I'm I'd have

0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.480
<v Speaker 1>COVID and I haven't taken a COVID test. And I

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:06.120
<v Speaker 1>went to the doctor and the word COVID was never mentioned.

0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:09.359
<v Speaker 1>They didn't even test me, which doesn't take but like

0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:13.040
<v Speaker 1>five seconds, and lost anything. No test for COVID. So

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:15.119
<v Speaker 1>I go in with a sore throat, running nose and

0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:18.200
<v Speaker 1>a cough and nobody mentions COVID or does a swab,

0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:20.160
<v Speaker 1>just real quick to find out. I guess that's where

0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:22.359
<v Speaker 1>we are, which is good. I don't want to hear

0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:24.439
<v Speaker 1>about it or think about it, but COVID is so

0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Last week, Jack apparently even at a doctor's office in California,

0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:32.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't even come up as an option. I can't believe.

0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe they didn't test you right off the bat.

0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm surprised. Also, Wow, So I guess we're done. I

0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:42.520
<v Speaker 1>think that's when we're officially done when in the town

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:44.560
<v Speaker 1>I live in California, you go to the doctor with

0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:48.400
<v Speaker 1>my symptoms and nobody even thinks about it. Right, it's finally,

0:21:48.720 --> 0:21:50.520
<v Speaker 1>thank God over.

0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:52.080
<v Speaker 3>I'll move on with our lives.

0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:54.960
<v Speaker 6>Please inform those that I still see driving alone in

0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:56.159
<v Speaker 6>their car wearing a mask.

0:21:56.880 --> 0:21:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Although I did have COVID once to do the Paxslavid

0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:01.400
<v Speaker 1>and it got me over it like immediately. So if

0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:03.639
<v Speaker 1>I have COVID, I wouldn't mind, you know, knowing and

0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:05.760
<v Speaker 1>jumping on the packs of Lovid so that I could

0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:09.240
<v Speaker 1>get over this disease. Yeah, I did the exact same thing.

0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:13.600
<v Speaker 6>The only problem I have is packs Lovid made everything.

0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Tastes horrible for how long.

0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 6>The entire time I was on it, plus probably a

0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:20.120
<v Speaker 6>day or two afterwards.

0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Gotcha, Well, Hanson brought it up because his son has

0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:27.000
<v Speaker 1>lost his sense of smell or taste whichever you said, Hanson,

0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:30.480
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, COVID d not even mentioned.

0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:33.399
<v Speaker 3>I'll be darned really.

0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I went, I go to the doctor with these symptoms.

0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:39.000
<v Speaker 1>The word never mentioned, no test.

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:42.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm especially shocked by but the loss of smell

0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:45.640
<v Speaker 4>and taste, and it didn't well that comes, that's hands

0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:46.000
<v Speaker 4>and skit.

0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:47.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't have any idea what's going on.

0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I didn't know that's where we were.

0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, interesting.

0:22:53.200 --> 0:22:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh we got mail bag coming up in a little bit.

0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:56.640
<v Speaker 1>We've got to get into some of the stuff that's

0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:58.920
<v Speaker 1>going on with Iran. There's talk out today that they're

0:22:59.000 --> 0:23:02.400
<v Speaker 1>like seventy two hours away from being able to build

0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:04.800
<v Speaker 1>a bomb or something like that. You know, we're always

0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:07.040
<v Speaker 1>seeing that sort of thing and getting ready to bomb

0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:08.679
<v Speaker 1>the but Jesus out of something. And then we'll get

0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:10.800
<v Speaker 1>to all that autism stuff, which I'm really looking forward to.

0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:12.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm speaking of COVID.

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:14.840
<v Speaker 4>Mike Gallagher, who is one of my favorite Congress people,

0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:20.320
<v Speaker 4>is out with an article calling for accountability and declassification

0:23:20.400 --> 0:23:25.200
<v Speaker 4>of everything connected to the Wuhan Institute and Anthony Fauci

0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:27.280
<v Speaker 4>and the COVID cover up and the rest of it.

0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Love it fantastic, all on the way. I hope you

0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:35.520
<v Speaker 1>can stay here. I don't think this is higher getting

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:38.080
<v Speaker 1>too much attention the fact that Stephen A. Smith, the

0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:42.440
<v Speaker 1>most famous sports reporter in America, is talking about seriously

0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:43.720
<v Speaker 1>looking at running for president.

0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:45.720
<v Speaker 3>I think that's a I think that's a pretty big deal.

0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:47.240
<v Speaker 3>And we can talk about that later.

0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Later as in mid twenty seven, late twenty twenty six.

0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm a reasonable man.

0:23:55.720 --> 0:23:56.640
<v Speaker 3>I'll compromise.

0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Hey, presidential election, Well, the old one's over. That means

0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:03.960
<v Speaker 1>we'd start talking about the new one.

0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:05.560
<v Speaker 3>Here's your freedom of me quote of the day.

0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:09.199
<v Speaker 4>Oh in next hour, continuing on with our series of

0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:16.199
<v Speaker 4>neighbors screaming at each other like lunatics, Oh boy, Voltaire

0:24:16.320 --> 0:24:20.640
<v Speaker 4>said this, Jack, it is difficult to free fools from

0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:25.520
<v Speaker 4>the chains they revere. Then, as long as we're quoting Euros,

0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:31.400
<v Speaker 4>how about this from Johann Wolfgang van Getta. Okay, none

0:24:31.440 --> 0:24:34.760
<v Speaker 4>are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:36.160
<v Speaker 4>are free.

0:24:37.000 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm gonna sure I fully understand.

0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:41.600
<v Speaker 3>Either of those quotes. Not sophisticated enough.

0:24:45.240 --> 0:24:48.520
<v Speaker 4>I think Voltaire was talking about how and the founding

0:24:48.520 --> 0:24:49.480
<v Speaker 4>Papa has understood this.

0:24:49.600 --> 0:24:52.040
<v Speaker 3>There are a lot of folks who don't want liberty.

0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:56.880
<v Speaker 4>They don't want freedom because freedom and responsibility are twins?

0:24:57.080 --> 0:25:02.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah Truett, Yeah.

0:25:00.600 --> 0:25:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Mailbag not strusting old enough is definitely my brand. I

0:25:06.160 --> 0:25:09.360
<v Speaker 1>that was just an unfair shot because I have not air.

0:25:09.600 --> 0:25:11.240
<v Speaker 1>That's a completely accurate shot.

0:25:12.960 --> 0:25:15.760
<v Speaker 4>I mean we could go into the quote if you'd like,

0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 4>maybe next hour. Let's see this from bad Tim Did

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:22.879
<v Speaker 4>I give the email address Mailbag?

0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:26.040
<v Speaker 3>And I'm string to get it dot com guys.

0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:31.760
<v Speaker 4>I wish AI was advanced enough to make a reboot

0:25:31.800 --> 0:25:32.200
<v Speaker 4>of the.

0:25:32.119 --> 0:25:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Tom Hanks classic Apollo thirteen.

0:25:35.160 --> 0:25:38.840
<v Speaker 4>But with Katy Perry and Gail King dealing with the problems,

0:25:38.880 --> 0:25:42.840
<v Speaker 4>it could be awesome. Yeah, that's funny, Houston, we have

0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:45.040
<v Speaker 4>a problem, says Katie Perry.

0:25:47.640 --> 0:25:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's see Gail King claps back at criticism, writes Daniel Yes,

0:25:51.600 --> 0:25:55.119
<v Speaker 1>it is criticism served up with finely tuned mockery and ridicule.

0:25:55.440 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 1>The wealth of material surrounding the Blue Origin flight has

0:25:59.440 --> 0:26:04.359
<v Speaker 1>enabled these ask oats to turn average people on social

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:09.560
<v Speaker 1>media into world class comedians. It is fertile, fertile ground.

0:26:13.440 --> 0:26:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, this is from John. You guys are talking

0:26:17.160 --> 0:26:18.639
<v Speaker 1>about how much you would pay to go on a

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:20.760
<v Speaker 1>fifteen minute trip to the edge of space. I would

0:26:20.840 --> 0:26:23.080
<v Speaker 1>drain my four to one K and sell all my possessions.

0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:25.560
<v Speaker 4>If I could never leave my house again and still

0:26:25.600 --> 0:26:28.040
<v Speaker 4>have beer and food handy, I guess I'm cut from

0:26:28.080 --> 0:26:28.800
<v Speaker 4>a different cloth.

0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:32.919
<v Speaker 1>Nice My brother emailed, that's funny.

0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:38.200
<v Speaker 4>How about Tommy in Texas on the topic of April

0:26:38.240 --> 0:26:40.919
<v Speaker 4>fifteenth tax Day. Whenever I get into discussion about taxes

0:26:40.920 --> 0:26:42.919
<v Speaker 4>with my liberal friends, they always start with the rich

0:26:42.960 --> 0:26:46.840
<v Speaker 4>should pay their fair share eventually and eventually get around

0:26:46.880 --> 0:26:48.040
<v Speaker 4>to Warren Buffett and that.

0:26:48.160 --> 0:26:49.679
<v Speaker 3>Ridiculous point he wants made.

0:26:50.000 --> 0:26:51.919
<v Speaker 4>When we get to that point, I always say, sounds

0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:54.320
<v Speaker 4>like what we need is a flat tax. That usually

0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:55.680
<v Speaker 4>stops them because they don't like.

0:26:55.640 --> 0:26:59.680
<v Speaker 1>That at all. How About everybody just pays ten percent

0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:01.680
<v Speaker 1>of their own unless you're very, very poor.

0:27:02.359 --> 0:27:03.920
<v Speaker 3>How about that something like that twenty percent?

0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:06.119
<v Speaker 1>Boy, you have a lot more people caring how money

0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:08.640
<v Speaker 1>was spent, which is the last thing.

0:27:09.160 --> 0:27:12.640
<v Speaker 4>Really Both parties, but especially the Democrats want Ryan from

0:27:12.640 --> 0:27:16.320
<v Speaker 4>Houston Boy Texas way and in today heavily on the

0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:18.960
<v Speaker 4>question of tariff steer Jack and Joe. Can President Trump

0:27:19.000 --> 0:27:21.439
<v Speaker 4>treat his tariff policy less like he is turning in

0:27:21.480 --> 0:27:25.160
<v Speaker 4>a rough draft to his freshman English class. M Yeah,

0:27:25.160 --> 0:27:27.160
<v Speaker 4>it does seem to be kind of forming up as

0:27:27.200 --> 0:27:31.639
<v Speaker 4>it goes kind of thing. I think that's fair criticism

0:27:31.680 --> 0:27:36.200
<v Speaker 4>from Ryan. Totally different topic. Mikey Luke Jack Joe watched

0:27:36.200 --> 0:27:38.320
<v Speaker 4>the snippet of Biden's what in the same hill is

0:27:38.320 --> 0:27:38.920
<v Speaker 4>going on here?

0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:43.920
<v Speaker 3>Speech from Chicago. Oh that's funny, It's just sad.

0:27:44.000 --> 0:27:46.160
<v Speaker 4>I don't know why the Democrats keep pushing them out there.

0:27:46.200 --> 0:27:50.000
<v Speaker 4>The Democrats have fundamentally destroyed their party by enacting the

0:27:50.040 --> 0:27:52.280
<v Speaker 4>policies of this suck puppet of a man.

0:27:52.600 --> 0:27:56.160
<v Speaker 1>And this is what they've got said is meaningless. We'll

0:27:56.200 --> 0:27:58.560
<v Speaker 1>play a clip or two later completely meaningless. I mean,

0:27:58.560 --> 0:28:02.440
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't matter at all. But why did hear his

0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:05.159
<v Speaker 1>wife feelix? We need to stay relevant, we need to

0:28:05.160 --> 0:28:08.800
<v Speaker 1>get out there. What are you doing? Why is it her?

0:28:08.840 --> 0:28:12.240
<v Speaker 1>It's got to be her? Yeah, I guess I don't

0:28:12.359 --> 0:28:13.040
<v Speaker 1>or his ego.

0:28:13.160 --> 0:28:13.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:28:13.600 --> 0:28:15.480
<v Speaker 4>Maybe he's having a good week, he's a little more

0:28:15.520 --> 0:28:17.840
<v Speaker 4>cogent than normal, and so he figured he'd go up.

0:28:17.920 --> 0:28:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Nobody needs to hear from the former president if he's

0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:22.879
<v Speaker 1>forty five and lucid, we just don't need it, I

0:28:22.920 --> 0:28:23.960
<v Speaker 1>would agree, bar Rock.

0:28:24.680 --> 0:28:27.480
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, there's one point of his speech that I think

0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:31.520
<v Speaker 4>is significant, which we'll talk about next hour. But I

0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:34.399
<v Speaker 4>love this note from Jody. So many immigrants come here

0:28:34.440 --> 0:28:36.320
<v Speaker 4>and do not want to embrace the American culture or

0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:37.920
<v Speaker 4>obey our laws. We're going to play you a clip

0:28:37.920 --> 0:28:40.400
<v Speaker 4>of a Muslim fella from a Michigan who's openly calling

0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:45.440
<v Speaker 4>for the overthrow of the American experiment, for instance, and

0:28:45.920 --> 0:28:47.960
<v Speaker 4>Jody writes, I remember when Hung k How spoke at

0:28:48.000 --> 0:28:50.680
<v Speaker 4>the twenty twenty four Republican National Convention. I especially like

0:28:50.760 --> 0:28:53.640
<v Speaker 4>this quote from him on becoming an American and this

0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:55.160
<v Speaker 4>could have been our freedom loving quote of the day.

0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:55.920
<v Speaker 3>Actually, as an.

0:28:55.800 --> 0:28:57.920
<v Speaker 4>Immigrant to this great country, let me be very clear

0:28:57.920 --> 0:29:00.840
<v Speaker 4>to everyone who comes here, don't ask for the American

0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:03.240
<v Speaker 4>dream if you're not willing to obey the American laws

0:29:03.320 --> 0:29:04.960
<v Speaker 4>and embrace the American culture.

0:29:05.040 --> 0:29:07.600
<v Speaker 3>Because I did love that.

0:29:07.840 --> 0:29:10.160
<v Speaker 4>And Jody said, any illegal immigrant who breaks our laws

0:29:10.160 --> 0:29:12.960
<v Speaker 4>should be deported. Any foreign students here on visas that

0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:16.880
<v Speaker 4>align with terrorist organizations should have their visas revoked. The

0:29:16.960 --> 0:29:19.000
<v Speaker 4>visas are a privileged and should be revoked if they

0:29:19.000 --> 0:29:22.800
<v Speaker 4>break our laws. Clearly, yep, we're going to be talking

0:29:22.800 --> 0:29:26.959
<v Speaker 4>about autism later. Some people believe it's tied to vaccines.

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:30.760
<v Speaker 4>I don't as a parent of an autistic child. But

0:29:30.800 --> 0:29:33.000
<v Speaker 4>we can get into that. But let's see, this is

0:29:33.080 --> 0:29:36.960
<v Speaker 4>Jim who points out it's the chart Jack, the immunization

0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:40.880
<v Speaker 4>schedule that they had for their kid, and indeed there

0:29:40.920 --> 0:29:44.120
<v Speaker 4>are forty four shots.

0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:45.480
<v Speaker 3>That seems like a lot.

0:29:46.080 --> 0:29:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh I'm sorry, No, thirty three by four years of age.

0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:53.600
<v Speaker 3>That seems like a lot. Yeah. Yeah.

0:29:53.640 --> 0:29:58.240
<v Speaker 4>And sometimes, take it from a cocktail enthusiast like myself,

0:29:58.640 --> 0:30:01.000
<v Speaker 4>sometimes if you do a thing and that's not very bad,

0:30:01.360 --> 0:30:04.800
<v Speaker 4>many many times in too short a time, that can

0:30:04.920 --> 0:30:07.840
<v Speaker 4>cause problems. I've not seen solid evidence that it does,

0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:09.680
<v Speaker 4>but it's not an insane thought.

0:30:09.760 --> 0:30:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, the problem with the requiring all those this is

0:30:11.880 --> 0:30:14.120
<v Speaker 1>what I said all through COVID, is if there are

0:30:14.520 --> 0:30:18.040
<v Speaker 1>billions of dollars, there's certainly tens of millions of dollars

0:30:18.040 --> 0:30:20.280
<v Speaker 1>on the line. How are you gonna tell me that

0:30:20.440 --> 0:30:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes somebody doesn't put their thumb on the scale of

0:30:23.720 --> 0:30:28.600
<v Speaker 1>making that a required inoculation just for money reasons.

0:30:29.400 --> 0:30:32.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it might even be a good idea, but now

0:30:33.000 --> 0:30:36.280
<v Speaker 4>it's a required idea. And you're right that if that

0:30:36.440 --> 0:30:39.160
<v Speaker 4>is a factor, people ought to know that's a factor.

0:30:39.280 --> 0:30:41.960
<v Speaker 4>And that ought to be taken into consideration when these

0:30:41.960 --> 0:30:44.520
<v Speaker 4>things are improved. And I'm not anti VAXX or like

0:30:44.600 --> 0:30:48.080
<v Speaker 4>a vaccine skeptical or anything, but as you point out,

0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:51.600
<v Speaker 4>during COVID, we learned that sometimes the health authorities don't tell.

0:30:51.560 --> 0:30:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Us the truth.

0:30:52.360 --> 0:30:55.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Man, that's a lot of shots. Yes, it is.

0:30:55.520 --> 0:30:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Holy cow. We're gonna get into some more of the

0:30:59.080 --> 0:31:02.000
<v Speaker 1>news of the day in hour two, right.

0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:06.840
<v Speaker 4>Yes, including the report on autism research and what RFK

0:31:07.000 --> 0:31:09.480
<v Speaker 4>Junior said the other day, which I thought was fairly ridiculous.

0:31:09.480 --> 0:31:18.240
<v Speaker 4>But it's a it's a mysterious issue. The research is

0:31:18.920 --> 0:31:22.360
<v Speaker 4>ongoing and fairly promising in some ways, but it's it's

0:31:22.360 --> 0:31:24.520
<v Speaker 4>difficult to get your hands on because there's such a

0:31:24.560 --> 0:31:29.760
<v Speaker 4>spectrum of what is autism, and you know, the skyrocketing rate. Well,

0:31:29.800 --> 0:31:33.680
<v Speaker 4>a lot of that's just more diagnosis. People are recognized.

0:31:33.800 --> 0:31:37.320
<v Speaker 4>And your kid isn't weird, he's on the autism spectrum.

0:31:37.840 --> 0:31:41.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Most researchers I know really

0:31:41.920 --> 0:31:43.480
<v Speaker 3>hate that idea.

0:31:43.560 --> 0:31:46.880
<v Speaker 1>What's that that it's just more.

0:31:48.440 --> 0:31:49.840
<v Speaker 3>We're just recognizing it more.

0:31:52.160 --> 0:31:53.920
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry I was gonna say, I didn't say it's

0:31:54.200 --> 0:31:56.520
<v Speaker 4>just that, And if I implied that I didn't mean to,

0:31:56.840 --> 0:31:58.440
<v Speaker 4>but that's absolutely part of it.

0:31:58.440 --> 0:31:59.000
<v Speaker 3>It's got to be.

0:31:59.720 --> 0:32:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I guess the problem with throwing that out there

0:32:01.800 --> 0:32:04.480
<v Speaker 1>is it just it's a distraction from the fact that

0:32:04.560 --> 0:32:10.080
<v Speaker 1>something new has come along, or if it's not new,

0:32:10.280 --> 0:32:13.840
<v Speaker 1>at a much greater level than it ever existed. Right,

0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:17.120
<v Speaker 1>And it's a crisis. I mean, it is a freaking crisis.

0:32:17.880 --> 0:32:18.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm a middle child. I bring people together. I

0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:21.280
<v Speaker 1>would put it like this.

0:32:21.640 --> 0:32:26.160
<v Speaker 4>If there's any chance it is something new, something environmental,

0:32:26.280 --> 0:32:29.480
<v Speaker 4>something going on, and not just an increase in diagnosis,

0:32:29.560 --> 0:32:31.920
<v Speaker 4>we ought to be feverishly trying to figure out what

0:32:31.960 --> 0:32:32.600
<v Speaker 4>the hell it is.

0:32:33.000 --> 0:32:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I know so few families that don't

0:32:37.240 --> 0:32:42.520
<v Speaker 1>have a kid at least who's dealing with this. I mean,

0:32:42.520 --> 0:32:43.680
<v Speaker 1>it's just astounding.

0:32:44.880 --> 0:32:46.520
<v Speaker 3>It is rather shocking.

0:32:48.840 --> 0:32:50.840
<v Speaker 1>We also need to talk about the whole Harvard thing

0:32:50.920 --> 0:32:54.760
<v Speaker 1>because the coverage it's getting is driving me nuts. On

0:32:57.960 --> 0:33:01.800
<v Speaker 1>the federal government pulling funding that trying to run the colleges.

0:33:02.800 --> 0:33:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump may have overplayed it, as he often does. We

0:33:05.600 --> 0:33:08.200
<v Speaker 1>can get into that, but the idea that the federal

0:33:08.240 --> 0:33:13.160
<v Speaker 1>government hasn't been forcing schooling to do all kinds of

0:33:13.200 --> 0:33:16.880
<v Speaker 1>things I hate with the threat of yanking they're funding

0:33:16.920 --> 0:33:17.360
<v Speaker 1>for years.

0:33:17.400 --> 0:33:18.120
<v Speaker 3>Come on now.

0:33:18.280 --> 0:33:20.400
<v Speaker 1>A lot of that DEI stuff that they jammed into

0:33:20.400 --> 0:33:22.440
<v Speaker 1>schools at every level was you need to do this

0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:24.480
<v Speaker 1>or you're going to lose your federal funding. Well you

0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:26.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a problem with that, did you.

0:33:26.480 --> 0:33:26.800
<v Speaker 3>Nope?

0:33:27.400 --> 0:33:30.840
<v Speaker 4>No, because that's good and right and true. This conservative

0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:33.080
<v Speaker 4>stuff is evil and they're trying to control us.

0:33:33.160 --> 0:33:33.360
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:33:33.400 --> 0:33:34.520
<v Speaker 3>It's the best example of that.

0:33:34.600 --> 0:33:36.160
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to think of this yesterday, but because

0:33:36.200 --> 0:33:39.280
<v Speaker 1>of the cold mists, I couldn't. So this whole concept

0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:44.160
<v Speaker 1>of the progressives do something that had never happened before.

0:33:47.000 --> 0:33:50.000
<v Speaker 1>It gets no reaction in the mainstream media, and then

0:33:50.280 --> 0:33:53.600
<v Speaker 1>when conservatives try to yank it back out, it gets

0:33:53.640 --> 0:33:56.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of attention. My favorite one being the water

0:33:56.680 --> 0:34:00.720
<v Speaker 1>pressure in your shower heads thing. Why does the federal

0:34:00.760 --> 0:34:04.160
<v Speaker 1>government have any role whatsoever on what your water pressure

0:34:04.200 --> 0:34:06.360
<v Speaker 1>is in your shower head? I mean, that's absolutely insane,

0:34:06.600 --> 0:34:09.799
<v Speaker 1>but it got passed through executive orders, all this sort

0:34:09.800 --> 0:34:11.760
<v Speaker 1>of stuff, so you don't you have bad water pressure

0:34:11.760 --> 0:34:13.840
<v Speaker 1>on the country. When conservatives get in and try to

0:34:13.920 --> 0:34:15.399
<v Speaker 1>yank it out, all of a sudden, it's a joke.

0:34:15.640 --> 0:34:18.440
<v Speaker 1>It's treated as a joke. Can you believe Donald Trump

0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:21.600
<v Speaker 1>cares about the water pressure in your shower heads? Uh? Hello,

0:34:21.840 --> 0:34:24.200
<v Speaker 1>you cared about the water pressure in the shower heads.

0:34:24.360 --> 0:34:26.399
<v Speaker 1>You're the one that got involved in it, not.

0:34:26.640 --> 0:34:28.840
<v Speaker 3>Us, completely dishonest.

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:31.000
<v Speaker 1>So when we try to clot back and make it

0:34:31.080 --> 0:34:33.680
<v Speaker 1>more freedom, like you can have whatever you want, whatever state,

0:34:33.760 --> 0:34:36.680
<v Speaker 1>county you have, it's seen as a joke. Of all

0:34:36.719 --> 0:34:39.759
<v Speaker 1>the things to worry about water pressure. I hate this game.

0:34:39.800 --> 0:34:42.960
<v Speaker 1>It drives me nuts. Well, we must win it, I hope.

0:34:43.080 --> 0:34:44.759
<v Speaker 1>So it's with me, I hope. So if you miss

0:34:44.760 --> 0:34:46.560
<v Speaker 1>an hour or second to get the podcast Armstrong and

0:34:46.600 --> 0:34:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty
