Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong and.
Speaker 2: Getty and he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: These new blistering tariffs on countries around the globe that
Speaker 3: includes China, one of the biggest and most consequential players
Speaker 3: in this trade war. Just think of how many everyday
Speaker 3: goods are manufactured in China, for better or for worse,
Speaker 3: or who have components built in China. Laptops, the smartphone
Speaker 3: you might be scrolling right the second, the clothes and
Speaker 3: sneakers you're wearing, the furniture upon which you sit, and
Speaker 3: on and on.
Speaker 2: Well, maybe you say, that's Jake Tapper of CNN. He's
Speaker 2: got it in for Trump and Republicans. He's just you know,
Speaker 2: scare tactics, et cetera, et cetera. Here's a couple of
Speaker 2: Republican senators yesterday.
Speaker 4: Whose throat do I get to choke if this proves
Speaker 4: to be wrong, Well, Senator, you can certainly always talk
Speaker 4: to me, but.
Speaker 1: I won Are you at the tip of the spear? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm at the tip of the spear for certain I'm just.
Speaker 4: Trying to answer a question that I have several people
Speaker 4: in North Carolina asking.
Speaker 5: So the president again is the final decision maker on
Speaker 5: all of these things.
Speaker 2: Whose throat do I get to choke if you turn
Speaker 2: out to be wrong? Which is pretty hard, right Eric?
Speaker 2: You know, I wasn't planning on doing this. But here's
Speaker 2: here's rand Paul fifty four Michael who's been He's been
Speaker 2: a big Trump supporter, despite Trump calling him ugly and
Speaker 2: all kinds of things. Way back in twenty fifteen during
Speaker 2: the debate, Ran Paul is stood strong by Trump through
Speaker 2: a lot, through thick and thick, but not through this one.
Speaker 4: And then if you add it all upisode Shahn is
Speaker 4: ripping us off. That makes no sense. Trade deficits are
Speaker 4: not real accounting. It's a fake accounting, and it doesn't
Speaker 4: mean anything. What means something is if you look at
Speaker 4: trade deficits and proportional to prosper the higher the trade deficits,
Speaker 4: the more prosperity. The lower the trade deficits, the less
Speaker 4: prosperity we get. We get a reduction in trade deficits
Speaker 4: when we go into a recession. We get an expansion
Speaker 4: of trade deficits when we're in a boom. So really
Speaker 4: nothing about a trade deficit gives any real useful instruction
Speaker 4: to the economy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I keep hearing that argument over and over again
Speaker 2: from conservative economists, and yeah, politician.
Speaker 6: I mean, for instance, I was just reading this. We
Speaker 6: run a trade surplus with Australia because we send a
Speaker 6: lot of machinery pardon me, dingoes ding goes.
Speaker 1: They have they make their own dingoes dingo.
Speaker 6: Anyway, because we send them a lot of machinery, transportation, equipment,
Speaker 6: and chemicals. Australia runs a trade surplus with China because
Speaker 6: it sends it lots of iron ore, natural gas, and gold.
Speaker 6: And China runs a trade surplus with the United States
Speaker 6: by sending it car parks, electronics, and batteries. It all
Speaker 6: has to do with the stew of geography and who
Speaker 6: has what, and who's better at what, and who can
Speaker 6: produce what more cheaply. And I found this also very
Speaker 6: interesting because you know, I love a lot of what
Speaker 6: Trump's doing, but his fixation on trade imbalance is silly. Anyway,
Speaker 6: the US has a substantial trade surplus with the Netherlands
Speaker 6: and Singapore, but that's not because the Dutch and Singaporean
Speaker 6: people consume so many more American products than other nations.
Speaker 6: It's because those countries are home to major ports that
Speaker 6: import American goods. Then they go hither and yon. The
Speaker 6: Netherlands uploads US goods and its ports sends them throughout
Speaker 6: Europe and to other consumers. Singapore does it for Asia.
Speaker 6: But a trade deficit is calculated on the country that
Speaker 6: the goods reach first, not the ultimate destination. Yeah, and
Speaker 6: so I mean, and we have some gigantic ports that
Speaker 6: do a lot of business and we have a trade
Speaker 6: It's actually interesting, even though this is fairly meaningless.
Speaker 1: Where is that number.
Speaker 6: We have a trade surplus with one hundred and fourteen
Speaker 6: nations and a trade deficit with one hundred and twelve.
Speaker 6: Now that's just interesting. If the deficits were enormous and
Speaker 6: the surpluses were tiny, well that number might be misleading.
Speaker 1: But it just it doesn't matter that much.
Speaker 2: So that's that. Let's hear a little Donald before I
Speaker 2: get to Larry Summers, who people on the right loved
Speaker 2: when he was bad mouthing Biden of a feeling they're
Speaker 2: not going to like him as much when he's bad
Speaker 2: mouthing Trump's ideas. Get to that in a little bit.
Speaker 2: But here's Trump last night, some dinner. He spoke for
Speaker 2: ninety minutes, said a lot of interesting things.
Speaker 7: Countries are paying tariffs right now. China's paying a one
Speaker 7: hundred and four percent tariff. Think of it, one hundred
Speaker 7: and four percent. Now it sounds ridiculous, but they charged
Speaker 7: us for many items one hundred percent, one hundred and
Speaker 7: twenty five percent. Many countries have They've ripped us off
Speaker 7: left and right.
Speaker 2: But now it's our turn to.
Speaker 1: Do the ripping.
Speaker 2: Let's there are a number of things he says here
Speaker 2: that are interesting going.
Speaker 7: I deal with other countries all the time. I am
Speaker 7: right now when tariff's where they want to make a
Speaker 7: deal with us. We don't necessarily want to make a
Speaker 7: deal with them. We're happy the way we are taking
Speaker 7: our two billion dollars a day, but they want to
Speaker 7: make a deal with us.
Speaker 2: I know what the hell I'm doing.
Speaker 7: I know what I'm doing, and you know what I'm
Speaker 7: doing too.
Speaker 2: That's why you vote for me. We're making two billion
Speaker 2: dollars a day off these tariffs. What is that?
Speaker 6: It's the tariffs that are being paid that will then
Speaker 6: go to you know, be dispersed among consumers and suppliers.
Speaker 1: And importers and the rest of it.
Speaker 2: As we've discussed more. Donald Trump, I'm.
Speaker 7: Telling you, these countries are calling us up, kissing my ass.
Speaker 7: They are, they are dying to make it to you. Please,
Speaker 7: please make it to you. I'll do anything. I'll do anything, sir.
Speaker 7: And then I'll see some rebel Republican, you know, some
Speaker 7: guy that wants to grandstand say I think that Congress
Speaker 7: should take over negotiations. Let me tell you, you don't
Speaker 7: negotiate like I negotiate.
Speaker 2: I want this to work out. I hope it's going
Speaker 2: to work out. Yeah, I don't know that it is
Speaker 2: going to work out. This to me is maybe the
Speaker 2: biggest news making thing he said last night. But we're
Speaker 2: going to do something that we have to do.
Speaker 7: We're gonna put We're gonna teriffy our pharmaceuticals, and once
Speaker 7: we do that, they're going to come rushing back into
Speaker 7: our country because with a big market, the advantage we
Speaker 7: have over everybody is that we're the big market. So
Speaker 7: we're going to be announcing very shortly a major terriff
Speaker 7: for on pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 2: So that could be a big deal and something you see.
Speaker 2: You're pretty fast.
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, I think that's a national security concern that
Speaker 6: we depend on China, of all countries. I mean, if
Speaker 6: it was Britain in Mexico, it'd be bad enough to
Speaker 6: turn on them for all of our medicines China.
Speaker 1: Come on.
Speaker 2: I hope he gets out there and sells it that
Speaker 2: way because that that that's an argument that makes sense. Look,
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to go through some pain for a
Speaker 2: while on pharmaceuticals until the companies start making the stuff here.
Speaker 2: But we can't be in nation. Can't be the most
Speaker 2: powerful nation on earth and all of our medicine comes
Speaker 2: from our enemy. That's not because we can't. That's a
Speaker 2: but anyway, So Larry Summers, he was president of Harvard.
Speaker 2: He was Obama's economic advisor. He is a Democrat, but
Speaker 2: Republicans loved him when he came out and said Biden's
Speaker 2: big spending policies were bad, shouldn't do it. He argued
Speaker 2: against a couple of those multi trillion dollar bills, said
Speaker 2: they would cause inflation, which they did, and he gets
Speaker 2: quoted on Fox all the time for that. I don't
Speaker 2: know if he'll get quoted for this stuff. Because he
Speaker 2: had a little Twitter thread yesterday developments in the last
Speaker 2: twenty four hours suggest we may be headed for serious
Speaker 2: financial crisis wholly induced by US government tariff policy. Serious
Speaker 2: financial crisis. I don't want to be in a serious
Speaker 2: financial crisis. I don't know about you. I just did
Speaker 2: as It's not something I'm looking forward to at this
Speaker 2: point in my life. Are really at any point in
Speaker 2: my life? Long term interest rates are gapping up even
Speaker 2: as the stock market moves sharply downwards. This highly unusual
Speaker 2: pattern suggests a generalized diversion to US assets in global
Speaker 2: financial markets. We're being treated by global financial markets like
Speaker 2: a problematic emerging market. This could set off all kinds
Speaker 2: of vicious spirals. Given government debts and deficits and dependents
Speaker 2: on foreign purchases. The only way to mitigate these risks
Speaker 2: is for Donald Trump to back off his current path.
Speaker 2: This is the first US bout of US financial instability
Speaker 2: caused by the US government ever.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's funny. I'm torn on it, well, not torn,
Speaker 6: I see both sides of it. Trump's I'm a madman
Speaker 6: negotiating style is part of what he is. And for instance,
Speaker 6: in that clip where they're kissing my ass, all these
Speaker 6: countries are kissing my ass. I've never found it useful
Speaker 6: to humiliate people that I'm going to do business with
Speaker 6: long term.
Speaker 2: Seems like it would be your best play.
Speaker 6: No, you can negotiate in a very, very tough style
Speaker 6: and leverage your power, but there's no productive use for humiliating.
Speaker 2: I know it doesn't work in Miami. I know it
Speaker 2: doesn't work on me. Will I will walk away from
Speaker 2: a deal that is to my advantage if that happens.
Speaker 6: Or I will make that deal if I have to
Speaker 6: then search for a way to screw you for the rest.
Speaker 1: Of my natural days. Yes.
Speaker 6: On the other hand, I become a more and more
Speaker 6: convinced that this is not till Larry Summer's concern. This
Speaker 6: is not a long term strategy for the next two generations,
Speaker 6: which is impossible anyway, as the White House changes hands
Speaker 6: and Congress goes back and forth and the rest of it.
Speaker 1: It is clearly A and I pray I'm right. A.
Speaker 6: I'm so crazy, I'll blow up the world economy unless
Speaker 6: you start lowering your tariffs to US goods in a
Speaker 6: way that is post post WW two. You're not laying
Speaker 6: in ruins Europe anymore. Hey, Asia, You're not squatting in
Speaker 6: hot any more, your economic superpowers. Let's start seeing some
Speaker 6: serious trade agreements. If that's his strategy. Again, I don't appreciate.
Speaker 6: I give no style points, but if that's the way
Speaker 6: it ends, okay, let's move on with our lives.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm hoping that's the sort of thing that
Speaker 2: happens and it'll all be good, because I don't want
Speaker 2: to live through a worldwide depression or anything like that.
Speaker 6: You don't, Yeah, I am sixty seven point six percent
Speaker 6: convinced that that is his strategy and it will all
Speaker 6: be over fairly soon.
Speaker 2: That'd be awesome. And then we'll will this be one
Speaker 2: of those boy, remember when that happened? That was something?
Speaker 2: Will it be one of those?
Speaker 1: Probably?
Speaker 2: I hope, So, I hope you're right.
Speaker 6: Well, and then you know, Trump will deport Soda Mayor
Speaker 6: to that l Salvador in prison accidentally, and that'll capture
Speaker 6: the headlines for a while and we'll move on with
Speaker 6: our lives.
Speaker 2: We do have a report on what iPhones could cost
Speaker 2: if things continue the way they're going, but maybe we'll
Speaker 2: get to that later. Back off tariffs for a little bit.
Speaker 2: Got lots of stuff on the way, how dumb. Do
Speaker 2: you have to be to be dumb as a sack
Speaker 2: of bricks? Pretty dumb, scientists say, among other things coming up,
Speaker 2: stay tuned.
Speaker 5: Brooklyn technology startup has released a minimalist cell phone that
Speaker 5: only allows for basic functions like calling, texting, and navigation.
Speaker 5: I don't know is calling really a basic function? I
Speaker 5: use the compass or that I use calling?
Speaker 2: No kidding, no kidding.
Speaker 6: I've got a friend, a handful of friends who call
Speaker 6: without warnings, without texting, Hey, is now a good time?
Speaker 1: I mean they just call you. I've gotten used to it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder if that could make a comeback.
Speaker 6: We all grew up with it. It's fine you look
Speaker 6: and say, oh it's Jim. We all grew up and
Speaker 6: say how's it going?
Speaker 2: Over forty, maybe you grew up with it, But if
Speaker 2: you're under forty, you did not grow up with it.
Speaker 2: So it is startling to get a phone call out
Speaker 2: of nowhere. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Wow, we're a soft people.
Speaker 2: So we got into this a little bit yesterday and
Speaker 2: the One More Thing podcast, and Joe asked if there
Speaker 2: are more of these stats than there are, because the
Speaker 2: lead stat is one out of fifty men believe they
Speaker 2: can outrun a horse. This is just funny. I mean
Speaker 2: that's not very many. That's a half a percent of men,
Speaker 2: But a half a percent of men are really stupid.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what we're learning. One out of fifty,
Speaker 2: one out of fifty. Yeah, that sounds like two percent
Speaker 2: to me, right, Oh yeah, you're right, you're right. But
Speaker 2: still it's just that's just it's ridiculous. I mean, how
Speaker 2: are you in a position where you think you can
Speaker 2: out run a horse?
Speaker 6: If I'm an employer, that's question number one on the
Speaker 6: job application.
Speaker 1: Can you outrun a horse?
Speaker 6: If they say yes, I say we're through here, unless
Speaker 6: it's a particular horse that's old and broken down.
Speaker 2: Uh, not that you probably need these statistics. But the
Speaker 2: fastest horse ever recorded ran about forty miles an hour.
Speaker 2: The fastest human that has ever run, Hussein Bolt, ran
Speaker 2: at twenty eight miles per hour. So you can outrun
Speaker 2: a horse. But that's not the only animals they looked at,
Speaker 2: and among other other feets, other animals that men a
Speaker 2: small number of men think they could outrun crocodiles and elephants.
Speaker 2: I don't have any concept of how fast a crocodile
Speaker 2: is over a short distance. I know alligators are very fast,
Speaker 2: faster than you. Another eleven percent believe they which is
Speaker 2: you know, eleven percents. A higher number say they could
Speaker 2: outsprint a house cat. No, you can't.
Speaker 6: You've never seen a cat run their catlike in their quickness.
Speaker 2: Women were much more likely to admit that they'd lose
Speaker 2: a race to a non human creature than men. For
Speaker 2: some reason. It's a mand and I I could outrun
Speaker 2: a They got all kinds of rocket. Did you know
Speaker 2: cats play fetch? My daughter video called me the other night.
Speaker 2: She was playing fetch with one of her cats. Was
Speaker 2: thrown a little plastic spring in the thing. It'd run
Speaker 2: and bat it around and grab it and then bring
Speaker 2: it right back to her feet and drop it like
Speaker 2: a dog. What Katie?
Speaker 8: Oh No, I was just thinking all the guys thinking
Speaker 8: they can outrun these animals, or if they've tried, this.
Speaker 2: Is why women live longer.
Speaker 1: I'm worried about that crocodile.
Speaker 2: Crocodile was at the top of the list that men
Speaker 2: thought they could outrun, followed by elephant, hippopotamus, rabbit, rabbit.
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen a rabbit run? Are you crazy? Goat?
Speaker 2: House cat, swarm of bees. Whether I can out run
Speaker 2: a storm of bees, I'm not exactly sure.
Speaker 8: The number of videos online of guys trying to destroy
Speaker 8: bee or wasp hivees and then having to run they
Speaker 8: never end well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh no, no, no, terrible idea. Mongoose, kangaroo, cheetah
Speaker 2: and ostrich cheat it. Now, come on, you're just a
Speaker 2: comp leaked moron. Like if you don't have the childhood
Speaker 2: knowledge of the cheetahs, the fastest animal that could persuade
Speaker 2: you that no, you can outrun it, then you are
Speaker 2: deciding to be eaten by a cheetah. You really do,
Speaker 2: but even better than that. And then they got fox, deer, zebra, horse.
Speaker 2: Just it's just just dumb dumb as could be um
Speaker 2: or or you're dumb or even a weirder kind of strange.
Speaker 2: You need to claim you can even though you know
Speaker 2: you can't. I don't know. I don't know what that
Speaker 2: is of men are confident they could lift a chimpanzee
Speaker 2: off the ground. Just the question I'm always wondering about
Speaker 2: chimp power lifting. What chimp's on the ground, he's getting wet,
Speaker 2: What shall I do? I wonder if I could? He's
Speaker 2: too tired to make it to the uber or wherever
Speaker 2: we're going. I guess I better pick him up and
Speaker 2: carry him. Um. Eighteen percent of men say they could
Speaker 2: beat a chimpanzee in an arm wrestling match.
Speaker 1: Oh, let's get it on.
Speaker 6: But it's clubbing you over the head with your bloody stump.
Speaker 1: I will be chuckling.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the point of those statistics was
Speaker 2: other than a small percentage of men or just morons.
Speaker 6: Well, and there was one about percent of men who
Speaker 6: thought they could lift a bear over there.
Speaker 2: Right, Yes, you can't lift a bear. Well maybe you
Speaker 2: have tiny bear, but the bear clean and jerk. The
Speaker 2: newest Olympics, the contest are out running a swarm of bees.
Speaker 2: How are you gonna get to go on a straight
Speaker 2: line for any distance? Whatsoever?
Speaker 6: That's what I Oh, No, Katie is so right? You
Speaker 6: think you cannot warrant to run a swarm of bees.
Speaker 6: You'd better not be allergic.
Speaker 2: Uh what did you say you got coming up?
Speaker 6: A uh?
Speaker 1: Woke?
Speaker 6: Watch you and I Jack, we have been unfortunately too
Speaker 6: soft on a university within spitting disc into the radio
Speaker 6: ranch University of California Davis, which is the Columbia University
Speaker 6: of the West. Perhaps in its militant leftism. It's violence
Speaker 6: against conservatives. It's anti free speech poison. That's coming up.
Speaker 6: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2: Not going to talk about tariffs, Sair not going to
Speaker 2: talk about tariff Shire just let you know ahead of time.
Speaker 2: But I spent the break reading about tarriffs. And I'm
Speaker 2: really wondering when we're going to start seeing endless headlines
Speaker 2: about what things cost on Walmart shelves or on Amazon.
Speaker 6: Oh, as soon as possible, I mean, yeah, the lefty
Speaker 6: media as excited as they can beat a bad mouth Trump,
Speaker 6: And if he makes a mistake, well yeah, they're going
Speaker 6: to call him on it. But I'm hoping that doesn't last.
Speaker 6: More on that to come. Also coming up. I promised
Speaker 6: this last hour and we'll try to squeeze it in a
Speaker 6: close relative of an inmate at San Quentin. Oh, I'm sorry,
Speaker 6: did this I say inmate? I think I'm supposed to
Speaker 6: say justice system involved individual?
Speaker 2: No? No, not really.
Speaker 6: Anyway, who's at the infamous San Quentin prison in northern California,
Speaker 6: which is converting from an old style prison into a
Speaker 6: Norwegian style counseling center of some sort for the murderers.
Speaker 6: The account is at least amusing, turning and troubling drum circle.
Speaker 6: But first it's time for.
Speaker 2: Woke watch like this music, whoa Blutch? Everything woke turns
Speaker 2: to shep. You know what woke means.
Speaker 5: It means you're a loser.
Speaker 2: I don't know how I feel about the salty language.
Speaker 6: It also means you're a postmodernist, neo Marxist hater of
Speaker 6: Western civilization, trying to tear it down for your perverse ideology.
Speaker 6: Having said that, I am always hammering the drum that
Speaker 6: we've made a little progress on this sort of stuff,
Speaker 6: but the woke forces are marching forward as fast as
Speaker 6: they can. We mentioned the other day that there is
Speaker 6: an incredibly high tolerance of the idea of murdering Elon
Speaker 6: musk Er, Donald Trump, on folks lefts of center, or
Speaker 6: destroying Tesla dealerships.
Speaker 1: Jack urged a.
Speaker 6: Note of caution that some of that is just online posturing.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I definitely think it is. But we
Speaker 2: still shouldn't be tolerant of it.
Speaker 6: Oh certainly not, because I think you know, if you have,
Speaker 6: for instance, forty I'm sorry, fifty five percent of left
Speaker 6: of center respondents saying there is at least some justification
Speaker 6: for murdering Donald Trump. Fifty five percent that might translate
Speaker 6: into five percent in the real world, and that's a
Speaker 6: horrifying number anyway. That will set the table for what
Speaker 6: we're about to talk about. I think perhaps we've been
Speaker 6: a bit soft on you see Davis University, California.
Speaker 1: Davis, California.
Speaker 6: It's not far from Sacramento if you don't know the
Speaker 6: ground where violent thugs destroyed all sorts of equipment and
Speaker 6: tense and the set for a speech by Brandon Tatum,
Speaker 6: who is a conservative activist that happens to be a
Speaker 6: black man. He's a former police officer, a cop.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I finally saw the video.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I watched that.
Speaker 6: Look, I'm an older fella and haven't thrown dogs in
Speaker 6: many moons, but I wanted to.
Speaker 1: Fight somebody for a couple of reasons. Go ahead and
Speaker 1: play twenty three, Michael E.
Speaker 6: The nature of the audio underplays the totality what's happening
Speaker 6: because a lot of it's too far away to be
Speaker 6: caught on audio.
Speaker 2: Get the cop.
Speaker 6: So what's happening is you've got a bunch of all
Speaker 6: black clad and masked Antifa goons smash up the tents
Speaker 6: and the equipments and the reading materials and microphones and
Speaker 6: everything else of the Turning Point people, and infuriatingly that
Speaker 6: people are calling and there are several clips of this
Speaker 6: at several different points in the frak is calling for
Speaker 6: the cops to do something, and the university Diversity police
Speaker 6: just stood by and watched it, kind of stood off,
Speaker 6: making sure nobody was getting their head split open. But
Speaker 6: the destruction of property and physical assaults of the Turning
Speaker 6: Point people were completely tolerated.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't you know we had this problem with
Speaker 2: was a UCLA. I guess when you had the demonstrations
Speaker 2: around Israel and Palestine. I guess it's a couple of
Speaker 2: years ago now, but I remember seeing it at the
Speaker 2: same time. There were cops there. Why didn't they do anything?
Speaker 2: And I guess the argument was they don't get involved
Speaker 2: unless the violence actually happens or something. But I don't know.
Speaker 6: I don't get that apparently, and I'm not justifying it.
Speaker 6: I'm just trying to describe it. It's a lot like
Speaker 6: excuse me, hockey referees who will let the combatants fight
Speaker 6: until somebody is down, and could really get pummeled. Of
Speaker 6: course in hockey they're gentlemanly about it and they don't
Speaker 6: pummel once they're on the ground. But it's until somebody's
Speaker 6: heads getting split open. We're just gonna let them go
Speaker 6: at it. Attitude by the cops, that's the only thing
Speaker 6: I can guess as to.
Speaker 1: St channing. All cops are bastards.
Speaker 2: I don't want to get sidetracked, because this is not
Speaker 2: the point of your thing. But I don't get that
Speaker 2: at all. If somebody's destroying my stuff, now I've got
Speaker 2: to throw a punch to stop play stuff from being destroyed,
Speaker 2: and then you will probably be arrested before the people's
Speaker 2: sworn to serve and protect protect my stuff.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 6: I don't get that at all, and you will then
Speaker 6: have to spend weeks or months of your life, uh,
Speaker 6: getting recompense for your property for instance, camera gear, tense events,
Speaker 6: signage tables. Not to make the physical assaults on the staff.
Speaker 6: It's Charlie Kirk put it. We're extremely lucky no one
Speaker 6: was seriously injured. Oh right, I just it would be
Speaker 6: I would be.
Speaker 2: I'd be sitting there on the ground trying to wrap
Speaker 2: my head around this is the United States of America.
Speaker 2: I showed up here with a point of view, handing
Speaker 2: out pamphlets and got attacked, and nobody did anything to
Speaker 2: stop it. And everybody says it's okay that that happened
Speaker 2: just because it's from the left. It would be hard
Speaker 2: to wrap my head around that. It would turn you
Speaker 2: into a militant right winger. It could make you violent,
Speaker 2: and certainly so. Just for the.
Speaker 6: Record, the University of California Davis will tolerate masked individuals
Speaker 6: perpetrating violence against conservatives. The cops will stand by and
Speaker 6: watch it happen. That is UC Davis. That's your intellectual freedom.
Speaker 6: Shame on you, except you don't have the capacity for it.
Speaker 6: You like hate speech. I hate you for the university
Speaker 6: structure you have built in the culture.
Speaker 1: I hate you for it.
Speaker 2: Well, I guess it gets to that whole. No longer
Speaker 2: believing in free speech, the whole free speech has limits
Speaker 2: thing that we heard from the NPR person.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, we will set those limits.
Speaker 2: We're at a level where we can decide what free
Speaker 2: speech is okay and what isn't. And this isn't, so
Speaker 2: we're not allowing exactly.
Speaker 6: So how did it get there, Well, how did we
Speaker 6: get to this point? Well, the Association of California School
Speaker 6: Administrators is holding a conference titled Lead with Pride Summit,
Speaker 6: Out Proud and Moving Forward at the Weston and Anaheim
Speaker 6: at the end of this month. The summit is every
Speaker 6: bit as horrific as it sounds, rights Kenny Snell, and
Speaker 6: will be attended if last year's someone is hit by
Speaker 6: any metric by district superintendents, County Office of Education, personnel administrators, teachers,
Speaker 6: DEI managers, activists, education college professors, and drag queens from
Speaker 6: around the state. The reason I bring this stuff up
Speaker 6: is it is not on the retreat. It is still
Speaker 6: marching forward the Marxist twist the philosophy of these people.
Speaker 6: Here are a few key takeaways from perusing the session
Speaker 6: guide again, this is going to be taught to k
Speaker 6: through grad school people in the state of kel Uni
Speaker 6: of Cornea. The first is that it's nearly impossible to
Speaker 6: read and dry hurl at the same time, Kenny writes.
Speaker 6: But beyond that, you'll find that deib now belonging is included.
Speaker 6: It is becoming more common, as is family engagement.
Speaker 1: Elsewhere.
Speaker 6: Perhaps we'll see a blending of these terms and the
Speaker 6: dropping of DEI in the future. As Marxist controlled education
Speaker 6: continues its quest to gain access to every home. Belonging
Speaker 6: of course, refers to being down with the gender ideology
Speaker 6: cult and how to recruit new members from public schools.
Speaker 6: Gender support plans are involving into gender action plans, which
Speaker 6: dictate behavior not just for the confused child and enabling
Speaker 6: adults at school, but for the entire family as well.
Speaker 6: In other words, these school administrators and others are being
Speaker 6: taught how to reach out into your home and say,
Speaker 6: Johnny is now Jenny. We have assisted in her transition,
Speaker 6: and here's what you need to do now in the home.
Speaker 6: There is also intent to circumvent any existing or future
Speaker 6: laws to teach students that hormones are safe with no
Speaker 6: side effects and all about trans reproduction and how you
Speaker 6: can become a woman and still have babies.
Speaker 1: In California schools, that's crazy.
Speaker 6: We can talk about the most egregious session debatable, the
Speaker 6: Rainbow Connection, the story of building a dynamic partnership. It
Speaker 6: was presented by Jennifer Robles of the Stockton Unified School District,
Speaker 6: a school counselor, program specialist and District LGBTQ plus point
Speaker 6: person and Jonathan Lopez of the San Joaquin Pride Center.
Speaker 6: Lopez also earns money from the drag queen world and
Speaker 6: fetish porn on audible by the way, when he's not
Speaker 6: teaching your children. According to the session bio, Lopez was
Speaker 6: the first drag queen to ever perform in the California
Speaker 6: State Capital and will Coote quote continue to use their
Speaker 6: act to spread awareness of LGBTQ plus rights.
Speaker 2: I still don't get the drag queen thing. I don't
Speaker 2: get how this caught on and how so much of
Speaker 2: society is acts like drag queens have just always been
Speaker 2: a thing. What do you mean didn't you have drag
Speaker 2: queens showing up in school when you were a kid? Okay? Now,
Speaker 2: what where did this come from and how did it
Speaker 2: end up being?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: It's so nuts.
Speaker 6: And this activist brags about working with children in dance
Speaker 6: programs and using his per host sona Helen Heels to
Speaker 6: educate people about gender expression to quality and lgbt plus history.
Speaker 1: You know, the appeal of it.
Speaker 6: I don't get the effort is that it's a fairly
Speaker 6: fun and innocent seeming way to issue us to the
Speaker 6: little children, the idea that there's no such thing as
Speaker 6: men and women.
Speaker 1: You can be whatever you want.
Speaker 2: God, I'm in the midst of this right now, where
Speaker 2: my son has to take the required California and you
Speaker 2: health sex said thing whatever they call it. They've got
Speaker 2: a euphemism for it. That is all this stuff, and
Speaker 2: you can opt out to certain parts of it. But
Speaker 2: I gotta like look at it closely to figure out
Speaker 2: it's just a mess. Just I just hate it so much.
Speaker 2: I'm just like, can we just skip it all? I
Speaker 2: don't need him to learn any of that crap, none
Speaker 2: of it. How about reading, writing, science? The end? I
Speaker 2: don't need any of this. Yeah.
Speaker 6: That reminds me of a Twitter threat I saw from
Speaker 6: a third grade teacher about how we have to fight
Speaker 6: the fascist and fight this and we need to fight
Speaker 6: to teach the kids about LGBT issues. Do you seriously
Speaker 6: think of third grade teachers as political fighters as opposed
Speaker 6: to teaching the kids how to effing read?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, we have a problem with education in
Speaker 1: this formal horrifying.
Speaker 2: If we were at one hundred percent of kids coming
Speaker 2: out of school reading and doing math at all, right,
Speaker 2: at proficiency level, it would still I'd still be horrified.
Speaker 6: But we're not even close right right, it's a miserable,
Speaker 6: miserable failure on that level. Final story, Just because we're
Speaker 6: running out of time, We've been following the battle in
Speaker 6: Colorado at least a little bit. A Colorado Democrat like
Speaker 6: in parent groups to the KKK during a committee hearing
Speaker 6: over a bill that could charge parents with coercive control
Speaker 6: in custody battles if they dead, name or misgender their child.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 6: If you call Johnny Johnny when the activists at school,
Speaker 6: like those we've been talking about, have convinced Johnny to
Speaker 6: become Jenny, you.
Speaker 1: Are abusing your child.
Speaker 6: You are a child abuser, according to the Colorado law
Speaker 6: pushed through a slate. The Colorado Democratic House pushed through
Speaker 6: a slate of controversial gender and abortion bills on Sunday,
Speaker 6: Kurt tailing floor debate in what Republican lawmakers called an
Speaker 6: unprecedented tactic should alarm every American. The Colorado's majority used
Speaker 6: a Sunday, a day typically reserved for family in prayer,
Speaker 6: to force through four of the most extreme bills of
Speaker 6: the session.
Speaker 1: According to the the minority leader.
Speaker 6: Said, the weekend works as a tactic the majority uses
Speaker 6: to punish the minority. It's especially unprecedented this time because
Speaker 6: the highly controversial nature of the bills.
Speaker 2: It's another one of those I don't get the politics
Speaker 2: of it, because this has got to be another eighty
Speaker 2: twenty issue, even in Colorado.
Speaker 6: Just briefly, the bills require taxpayers to fund abortion services,
Speaker 6: mandated insurers to cover transgender procedures regardless of age.
Speaker 2: Ah.
Speaker 6: Yes, insurers must charge or cover cruel experiments on confused
Speaker 6: children if their parents are so delusional or terrified that
Speaker 6: they give the okay.
Speaker 2: And those imposed who have ever been turned down by
Speaker 2: insurance company for something legit, the little annoying that the
Speaker 2: insurance company is going to have to cover that stuff, right.
Speaker 6: The state of Colorado also imposes state mandated gender activism
Speaker 6: on schools and considers it coercive control in child custody
Speaker 6: cases when a parent does not affirm a child's gender
Speaker 6: as established by the actctivists at school, and it also
Speaker 6: prohibits cooperation with out of state investigators on transgender procedures
Speaker 6: and abortions for minors. Colorado has lost its mind. It's
Speaker 6: become as sick as California and Oregon. That is a shame.
Speaker 6: That's why I vow to fight this stuff. It is
Speaker 6: not on the retreat, is on the march.
Speaker 2: Where are you're going to start seeing prices go up first?
Speaker 2: If these Chinese tariffs that started at midnight last night stay,
Speaker 2: We can get to that at some point, among other things.
Speaker 2: Stay with us.
Speaker 5: At a white house of anysay celebrating the Los Angeles
Speaker 5: Dodgers World Series championship, President Trump praise star players, show
Speaker 5: Aotani an added quote, He's got a good future. I'm
Speaker 5: telling you not exactly a bold prediction. I think that
Speaker 5: guy who won three MVP awards could turn out to
Speaker 5: be a pretty good ball player.
Speaker 2: Hi you doing, Welcome to the show. Where are the
Speaker 2: tariff's going to hit first? If this Chinese tariff thing
Speaker 2: sticks around that landed at midnight last night, we're tariffing
Speaker 2: one hundred and four percent at one hundred and four
Speaker 2: percent China starting at midnight last night. And uh whoo
Speaker 2: wee last very long long.
Speaker 6: DJT and Winnie the Pooh are in a who's a
Speaker 6: tougher guy? Stare down right now. It'll be interesting to
Speaker 6: watch unfold and.
Speaker 2: I might be buying a new computer soon, which quite
Speaker 2: possibly all or some of it came from China, so
Speaker 2: who knows what that'll cost. I was at I mentioned
Speaker 2: I've got like five hours invested in trying to get
Speaker 2: my son's PC to work just so he can play
Speaker 2: Minecraft and a variety of things. And it was online
Speaker 2: with the Geek Squad, and it's I don't know if
Speaker 2: you've ever done that before, where they take over your
Speaker 2: computer and you sit there and watch them. Anyway, they
Speaker 2: spelled the people. Yeah an hour and I worked on
Speaker 2: it and everything like that, and Sara is fixed, and
Speaker 2: then I got off the phone with him, and then
Speaker 2: we went back to using the computer and it was
Speaker 2: exactly the same before we started. Anyway, I'm a big
Speaker 2: fan of best Buy and what they do and all
Speaker 2: the Geek Squad, but that did not work, so I
Speaker 2: had ended up taking it actually in and being there
Speaker 2: for another many hours and leaving it there overnight. I'll
Speaker 2: skip all of that crap. I hate the fact that
Speaker 2: computers become PCs, especially become outdated so fast. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's just feels like you just bought it and they
Speaker 2: tell you, no, yeah, this is beyond you. Know, bringing
Speaker 2: up to speed for the new this or that. So
Speaker 2: you just got to get it all new. One am
Speaker 2: I down to one minute? Michael two minutes. Okay, here's
Speaker 2: the thing I learned that was the most interesting though,
Speaker 2: So my videographic card, he said, it's just he said,
Speaker 2: this is like an antique compared by today's standards. The
Speaker 2: computer's only a couple of years old. But he showed
Speaker 2: it to me, and they used to be like a
Speaker 2: little green board with some solder marks on it. Now,
Speaker 2: if you have a newer computer, you know this, or
Speaker 2: if you've looked inside it, the graphic board looks like
Speaker 2: its own computer. I mean it's a big, thick, giant,
Speaker 2: complicated thing. And he said, the reason this happened, this
Speaker 2: is the part I found very interesting was bitcoin mining.
Speaker 2: Bitcoin mining is all about the speed an ability of
Speaker 2: your graphics card. China started really pumping up that in
Speaker 2: their their their their bitcoin mining factories. He was explaining
Speaker 2: to me. And I've seen pictures of him. Maybe you
Speaker 2: have these giants. They look like a greenhouse or something,
Speaker 2: and they use Nintendo's so best the best fastest way
Speaker 2: to do it is with like Nintendo switches or or
Speaker 2: what do you call some of those games, I don't
Speaker 2: know the names of them, PlayStations, that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: They got the fastest graphic stuff and everything like that,
Speaker 2: so they have thousands upon thousands of those in big
Speaker 2: rooms of fans blowing on them. With the most up
Speaker 2: to date graphics cards you can get bitcoin mining. It's
Speaker 2: all about the bitcoin mining. So that made the whole
Speaker 2: video graphics card thing explode. And now if you don't
Speaker 2: have one of the new modern ones, none of the
Speaker 2: programs work on them, and so you're you're outdated. But
Speaker 2: it was all driven by the bitcoin mining, which I
Speaker 2: couldn't understand less. I mean, you talk about something I
Speaker 2: don't understand.
Speaker 6: Uh, you kind of swap that old lemon out, get
Speaker 6: yourself a new ZOOMI want and enjoy it for the
Speaker 6: next eighteen months.
Speaker 2: Still it's obsolete, exactly.
