WEBVTT - I'll Wear A Pointed Hat & Some Beads 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:05.600 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the 0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:10.200 George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Ketty. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:23.720 Armstrong and Kat Katie and He Armstrong and Eddy, various 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:29.040 world organizations, all of whom hate Israel are calling it 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:32.559 a famine now in Gaza. We'll talk more about that 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:35.159 later in some of the proof in various directions, but 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:37.519 President Trump was asked about it yesterday. 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:41.240 I mean, some of those kids are that's real starvation stuff. 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:45.280 I see it, and you can't fake that. So we're 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.080 going to be even more involved. 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.839 It's crazy what's going on over there. He mentioned, I 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:55.000 just know what I see on television, but that's horrific. 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:59.440 You can't fake that. Well, you can certainly exaggerate it. 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.360 You can miss represented a lot. And they've been doing 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:04.480 it for decades, by the way. 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.160 Well and saying, yeah, judging by what I've seen on TV, 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:13.000 it's pretty bad. You have like the greatest intelligence apparatus 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.680 on earth. Why are you judging by what you've seen 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:16.160 on TV? 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:17.520 Good point at all? 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:24.759 Orfully selected video snippets from carefully selected biased journalists. 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:27.600 Yeah, And I was just looking at a headline. And 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:29.800 then we'll talk about this later, so we'll move on. 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:33.600 But two hundred and sixty humanitarian aid trucks entered Gaza yesterday. 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:37.280 Two hundred and sixty trucks, twenty pallets of humanitarian aid 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.640 were air dropped at various parts of Gaza. As one 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:46.840 of my favorite tweeters said, worst genocide ever. Yeah, yeah, 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.560 so coming up as in is in. You can't. It's 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:53.720 not good at being a genocide, is the way his point, 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:56.920 dropping all of this food and bringing in all these trucks, 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:58.680 you're not doing a very good job of a genocide 0:01:58.720 --> 0:01:59.680 if that's what you're doing. 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.640 Right, And it's interesting. I had prepared for later a 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:08.240 story about various maidenstream media journalists who are covering the 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:12.000 situation in Gaza, all of whom are tied to Hamas 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:17.200 or Hezballah or have praised Yah Yah Sinoar or a 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.720 number of these characters. Anyway, we talked about this actually 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.040 yesterday and we can touch on it again. Is there 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.360 actually starvation in Gaza? It is very difficult to get 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.920 a straight story. It looks selish. Oh my god, it 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:29.400 looks tellish. 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.000 And I mean, though that's not fake, I mean it's tellish, 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.359 no matter what now whether or not there's purposeful starvation 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:36.840 going on, that's a different question. 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.280 On later on the show. There are a number of 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.160 significant stories we ought to touch on more thoroughly. The 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:51.320 absolutely shockingly miserable poll numbers of the Democratic Party. Also 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:56.280 a major ruling that is allowing judges to continue to 0:02:56.400 --> 0:03:01.360 issue nationwide injunctions against Trump, even those Supreme Court quote 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.280 unquote struck down the ability to do that. 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:05.040 We will get into that. 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.200 And also I want to talk about how on the 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:13.720 economic front, AI is already wrecking college graduates job prospects. 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.320 Well, I want to hear that, yeah, like recent college graduates. 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:22.840 And also a great piece from a Trump skeptical, a thinker, 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:27.120 if Trump's tariffs are so bad, where's the recession? So 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:28.920 we'll get to all of that stuff, but first, a 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.200 handful of stories that tend to be a little lighter, 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.320 but I wanted to touch on them. Michael plays a 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:34.720 little bit of number twelve. 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:35.720 Would you please. 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:42.560 Thank you for your interest in Astronomer. Hi, I'm Gwyneth Paltrow. 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.080 I've been hired on a very temporary basis to speak 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.920 on behalf of the three hundred plus employees it Astronomer 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.520 Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.040 few days, and they wanted me to answer the most 0:03:55.040 --> 0:04:01.000 common ones. Yes, Astronomer is the best place to run 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:05.240 Apache airflow, unifying the experience of running data mL and 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:09.160 AI pipelines at scale. We've been thrilled so many people 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:10.680 have a newfound interest in data. 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:16.479 So that is an ad for Astronomer, which was the 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.760 company run by the dude who was smooching with his 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:25.560 illicit babe at the Coldplay concert, and the companies like, A, 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.560 all right, this is bad for our look and b 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:32.400 everybody is curious about our company soon, And so they 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:39.120 hired Ryan Reynolds PR firm, marketing firm, and he hired 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:43.240 Gwyneth Paltrow Chris Martin of Coldplays X to do the commercial. 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.800 Thinking there's a little more tie in celebrity that'll get 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.200 more attention for us. And my only point in bringing 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.840 this up is it's kind of funny in some good pr. Secondly, 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.200 in a few years, I think people are going to 0:04:56.240 --> 0:05:00.120 say Ryan Reynolds was an actor. I think he's a 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:05.120 really innovative, smart business guy. I was just thinking, man 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:09.919 talk about turning lemons into lemonade nobody'd ever heard of 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:14.160 this astronomer company. When you've got all of that attention, 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.400 find a way to get out what you are and 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:18.000 what you do. 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.480 That's a great idea. If you ever have a scandal 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:24.560 come your way, take that opportunity to say, yeah, I'm 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.880 the guy from that video, and here's what I can 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:27.400 do for you. 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.560 Right that that would be extra bold or hier a 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.440 Gwynneth Feltro, But yeah, yeah, I think that's absolutely a 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:35.520 smart take. 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.520 And Ryan Reynolds impresses me. Moving along, so. 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:44.279 Speaking of the media, Skydance Media, which is the giant 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.680 media conglomerate which is part of the big CBS Paramount merger. 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.479 That is that's one of the reasons CBS settled with 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:57.560 Trump over some very questionablelawsuit. The constitution all right anyway, 0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.159 But so that's the company involves. 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:00.040 Sky Dances made. 0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:03.600 A series of new commitments to eliminate bias in news 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:07.400 and entertainment programming at CBS and its parent company, Paramount CBS. 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.120 It's the home of sixty minutes Oh boy. 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:13.440 When its planned acquisition is complete, Scout Dans is also 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:17.200 confirming the elimination of all diversity, equity and inclusion policies 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.720 and initiatives in Paramount, which had been one of the 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:24.400 most aggressive proponents of DEI in the entertainment business. 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.680 I see, I think sixty minutes is a news program 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:32.680 that still matters, and it'll be interesting to see do 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:36.680 people quit, do they adjust their sales? I wonder what's 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.240 going to happen. Uh? 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.839 Yeah, yeah, I don't think it matters much, and I 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:44.919 think in five years it will matter much less. But 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:48.440 five years is forever in the modern era, sure, But anyway, 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:51.880 scott Ants laid out the moves in two letters. It's 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.960 sent to the FCC Commissioner. The first letter addresses concerns 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.880 about media bias at CBS, pledges to ensure that cbs 0:06:58.960 --> 0:06:59.840 is reporting is fair and. 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:00.880 By and fact based. 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:04.360 Second outline in sky Dance's commitments going forward to promote 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.719 non discrimination and equal opportunity employment. 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:08.920 That's absolutely fabulous. 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:13.000 I don't love how we got there, but end all 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:19.240 DEI programs everywhere they exist in schools, corporations and nonprofits, 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.640 and don't let them rename them and keep discriminating. 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:24.160 And we can get to that in a little bit. 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.559 This headline just deserves a quick nod. 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:32.440 The Biden administrations seven and a half billion dollar EV 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:38.720 charging port initiative that was going to build allegedly a 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:43.800 half a million by the year twenty thirty has built. 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.960 Were these going to be the same ev charging ports 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:48.920 that every city has put like in front of their 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:52.760 public library that do nothing? Why do you bring that up, Jack, 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.600 Because they don't do anything. Nobody seems to know that. 0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.120 But they don't do anything. You can plug in your 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.600 car for an hour and get like five miles working. 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:04.240 I mean, they just don't work. 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:10.080 So there are pos's or PSOs anyway. But instead of 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.520 half a million, and granted it's just the year twenty 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.880 twenty five and allegedly they have time to go, they 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:19.520 have delivered fewer than four hundred charging ports since the 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:24.080 seven and a half billion dollar program began almost four 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:24.760 years ago. 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:30.600 Unbelievable and they're worth God we get stolen from and 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.800 a lot of it is under the mantle of green 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:37.640 energy and electric cars ain't going anywhere anywhere anyway. It's 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.680 just not gonna happen, at least not now unless something 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:45.320 changes major with technology and speaking of media, final note 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.240 for this segment, maybe we can break semi in time 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.520 for once in our lives. I thought this was a 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:55.240 joke at first. The Atlantic, the great vaunted Atlantic, read 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.719 by the same people who run around Manhattan with the 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.800 NPR toat bags and tell us all what we ought 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:05.320 to think from the lecterns of universities and the broadcast 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.920 TV and radio, et cetera, and Hollywood. 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.600 The Atlantic with a story about Helen by Helen lewis 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:17.120 finally a Democrat who could shine on Joe Rogan's show, 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:22.560 her point being breakthrough and be the modern go getter 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:26.240 democratic voice and isn't screwed around. 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.600 It's forceful, that is plane. 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:32.840 Speaking that can reach the common people, bring men back 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.840 to the party, bring the working class back to the party. 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:39.400 Finally the Democrats have this person, and she is dead 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.800 blanking serious hunter Biden Y. 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:45.760 I've heard a couple of people say that that his 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.680 frankness was so refreshing, and why can't we get somebody 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:50.600 who speaks that way? 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:56.000 That reminds me of the same sort of blanking morons 0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:00.560 who declared that Tim Walls was teaching American manner new 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:01.880 sort of masculinity. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.040 Well, I don't I don't want to get off on 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.439 this topic, because we got plenty of time but there 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:11.439 were news stories out yesterday that Kamala Harris is contemplating 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.840 a presidential run. Please do because that would be hilarious. 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:22.200 How could you be that lacking in self awareness? I 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.960 hope I'm not.

I'll wear a pointed hat, some beads. 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:24.000 They're happy, you're happy, except everybody's happy. There are no 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:27.400 losers in this hat and beads or whatever you'd wear. 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:28.719 Is a pet psyche? What do you wear? I don't 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:33.360 know where you were. You'll look into it. I suppose 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:37.920 not appointed that maybe beads, though, I. 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:41.040 Might have to become a pet psychic because AI has 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.640 screwed up your prospects as a recent college graduate. 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.000 We'll get to that. Also, we've got this hilarious bit 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.000 about no wonder young people are a soft today with 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.679 what they read in college versus what we read, I mean, 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:53.959 in school. It's pretty funny. Stay here. 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.800 So that Russia just started direct flight between Moscow and 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:01.480 North Korea. 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.320 It's one of those rare trips where the fun part 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:09.240 really is the journey and not the destination of it. Yeah, 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:13.640 no kidding. I'd love to go to North Korea if 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:19.240 I felt like I could be safe. I don't know, 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.000 if it was like a real roll of the dice 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.440 to me. Yeah, because old what's his name? 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:24.880 He? 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.800 I mean he he he what he did something? He 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:31.559 vandalized and authorities, but they beat him to death. That 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:32.160 ain't cool. 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:37.720 He just took a poster as a souvenir. Yeah, outo 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:39.400 warm beer, God rest his soul. 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:41.360 Yeah. Ah. 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.960 So this is uh, this is the beginning, I believe. 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:47.720 And I'm neither an alarmist nor a minimizer about AI 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:52.440 and its disruptive powers. I lean more toward alarmist, I think. 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.880 But Wall Street Journal with an article today, what do 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.440 you uh, Let's see, AI is wrecking an already fragile 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:03.240 job market for college graduates. Companies have long leaned on 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.840 entry level workers to do grunt work that doubles is 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:08.480 on the job training. Now Chat, GPT and other bots 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.920 can do many of those chores. And they go through 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:18.360 a handful of companies. This is a marketing agency. They've 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:22.520 They're clients have all but stopped requesting entry level staff 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:26.040 young grads once in high demand, whose work is now 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.360 what's being called a home run for AI, meaning it's 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.000 the sort of thing AI does the best. 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.680 Can you give me an example, like what sort of 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:36.640 things are is AI doing? Really? Well? 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.640 They go they speak more in generalities. But let me 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.720 get through the list dating app grinders hiring more seasoned 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:47.000 engineers for going some junior coders straight out of school. 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:52.920 So the gay hookup app is not hiring young grads 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.680 because of AI. That's an interesting that's already got a 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:56.280 lot to it. 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:01.600 Here's a Columbus based consulting firm, Futurity, which is pretty 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.840 well known, decided not to hire a summer intern this 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.840 year instead of opting to run social media copy through 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:11.320 chat GPT instead. And this guy, the CEO, said he's 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.760 urging his own kids to focus on jobs that require 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.040 people skills and can't be easily automated. 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:21.520 So the tough partics, Yeah, the tough part is, some 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:26.200 people have pointed out is people skills often are a 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.000 lot more something you're born with than something you can learn, 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.040 as opposed to the other skills that you know, you 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.080 could sit down and learn. Right. 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:36.480 Yeah, you can improve them or you could let them 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:39.040 kind of atrophy. But you either got it or you don't. 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:44.000 That's absolutely true. So and they go through a bunch 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.800 of examples, but a year's long white collar hiring slump 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:50.360 and recessionaries have weakened the. 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:50.600 Show up work hard. 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:55.840 We'll educate you to become the next generation of leader's relationship. 0:15:56.480 --> 0:16:05.680 And the statistics are crazy. Unemployment stats in the last 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.680 let's see from the twenty eighteen twenty nineteen statistical year 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:14.960 to the most recent period among high school young high 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:18.880 school grads has ticked up a tenth of a percent, Okay, 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:24.200 barely at all. Some college the unemployment numbers have ticked 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:28.120 up four tenths of a percent, which is quadruple the 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:32.280 previous number, but it's hard to glean much. An associate's 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.400 degree is up two tenths of a percent. If you 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:39.280 have a bachelor's degree, the unemployment rate is up one 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:45.200 point one percent, and among grad students it's up one percent. 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:50.400 So the horizon unemployment is steepest among college grads and 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:56.120 grad school students. These sectors where graduate hiring is slowed 0:16:56.160 --> 0:17:02.000 the most. Information finance, insurance, technical serches. Those sectors are 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:03.600 still growing well. 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.800 The best example out there, as we've mentioned multiple times, 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:11.240 is just a couple of years ago, learn to code 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:15.760 was like the thing you want your kid to be successful. 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:20.040 Learn to code. Now I know people who code who 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.240 use AI to do all their coding. 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:25.880 Right and after dancing around the issue. In the two 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.400 and a half years since chat GPT's release up into 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:30.760 the way, almost all companies plan for their future. CEOs 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:34.600 are now talking openly about AI's immense capabilities, likely leading 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:39.120 to deep job cuts. Top industry executives, including Amazon JP Morgan, 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.199 have said in recent weeks they expect their workforces to 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:46.200 shrink considerably. Ford CEO Jim Farley City expects AI will 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.000 replace half of the white collar workforce in the US 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:54.199 half half including the hardworking people at Grinder. You should 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:59.280 have led with that half. Oh my god, you don't 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.720 start to show with a show stopper jack. 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.920 Half a white collar jobs eliminated by AI. If that's 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.560 even close to true, Wow, that will be a revolution. 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:11.320 Armstrong and geddy. 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:16.080 Some of y'all have not experienced emotional trauma through literature, 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:18.560 and it shows. Kids today are out here reading The 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:21.000 Magical Bunny and How We Learned to Love Himself or 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:24.360 Sparkle the Dragon's Conflict three Resolution Journey. 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.080 And I'm sorry, but that is emotional tofu, just. 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:29.439 Page after page of affirmations and pastel illustrations like a 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:32.680 therapist made it on Canva. Meanwhile, we were out here 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:35.879 getting emotionally demolished by Where the Red Fern Grows. 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:37.320 You want to talk about resilience. 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:39.920 I watched a boy Barry's Two Dead Dogs after one 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:41.800 got ripped apart by a mountain lion and the other 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:43.840 one starved a death out of grief, and I read 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:45.480 that in the fourth grade. I came out of that 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:48.879 book Vietnam VET, and aged ten years and two hundred pages. 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:52.359 Today's kids get talking lamas who validate their feelings, and 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:54.879 we got Old Yeller where the dog gets rabies and 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.159 the dad's like, well, son, i think it's time we 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:58.679 shoot your best friend in the face. 0:18:58.800 --> 0:18:59.959 It's all part of growing up. 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:02.640 And that was our bedtime story. And you wonder why 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:04.280 millennials cry during commercials? 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:07.960 Did? 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:15.359 I hated ten years reading that book. That is interesting though. 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:18.200 I thought about that that when my kids were young, 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:20.720 which I guess makes means I've become soft like all 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:23.760 of modern society. It's just like, good God, all the 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:27.520 old Disney movies we'd watch and everyone the parents die, 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.320 all your old Disney classics, the parents die. 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:36.560 Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, it's obligatory. Yeah uh yeah, that's 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.359 something else. I'm reminded. It's funny I'm deep in thought 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:40.840 thinking of some of the books I've read and my 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:44.120 kids read in schools, and the concept of trigger warnings, 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:46.720 which is one of the worst things that's ever happened, 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:51.639 and how that's all related to And this might. 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:53.000 Seem like a stretch, but I swear it's not. 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:57.240 It's related to the whole neo Marxist thing, where what 0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:00.760 they want to happen is you don't know what to say, 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:04.720 you don't know what you can say. You're afraid of offending, 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:07.760 you're afraid of getting in trouble, you're afraid of losing 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:08.240 your job. 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.600 In short, you're afraid. 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:16.440 And so you got to go through every conceivable trauma 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:19.320 or discomfort there might be in reading a piece of literature. 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:23.200 That's a bizarre notion, and yet it took hold at 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:24.440 most of our universities. 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:26.440 Speaking of which, and Michael, I apologize. 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:31.240 I got a an in urgent communication during the break 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:34.240 and wasn't able to communicate to you. Hansen prepared a 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:36.800 little musical thing for me earlier today. I got that 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:40.360 handy Oh wow, okay, here you go. 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:57.439 Yes, oh it's not good. But what did they say? 0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:00.199 We're like I was trying to quickly with the of 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:06.240 Hanson and Ai craft a theme song to our miseducation update. Okay, 0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:09.720 and our twisted schools break all the rules. They churn 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:12.399 out fools that just ain't cool. And I said, in 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:15.159 the style of nineteen seventies British punk, there you go, 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:17.840 and again it wasn't good. 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:20.720 Anyway. A couple of stories for you. 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:24.719 Let's start with good news. A victory for our friends 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:28.600 at the Goldwater Institute. Tim Sanderfer's output of Pennsylvania Mom 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.880 won a major victory for parental rights and government transparency 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:35.360 last week when ours local school district tried and failed 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:42.960 to withhold Dei materials from parents, claiming they were trade secrets. 0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:48.600 Wow. Yeah, can you imagine, man, I would lose my 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:51.439 mind if any school official ever said anything close to 0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:54.200 that to me. No, no, no, no, no, no, you don't 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:57.600 get to have any secrets, right do you work for us? 0:21:58.119 --> 0:22:00.600 And claiming that it's like the same as the design 0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:02.680 for our jet engine here at Lockheed. 0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:06.160 Our DEI materials are trade secrets. Yeah. 0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:08.479 A couple of years ago, she requested assets to our 0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:12.280 local schools, materials that were presented to teacher, staff and 0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:16.119 students to see whether the school district was indoctrinating students 0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:21.640 by teaching racially discrim discriminatory DEI, but the district refused, 0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:25.639 calling it trade secrets. I would say, up the Goldener Institutes, 0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:27.640 and the judge said, you're out of your mind. Yeah, 0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:29.320 I would say, you're either going to release this to 0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:31.280 all his parents right now, or then we'll go through 0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:34.040 the whole lawsuit process and then you'll release it to us, 0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:35.320 because obviously you have to. 0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:36.560
