Speaker 1: an introduction that was? Holy godh gosh, nobody does it better.

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: We don't want another incident here. Good. It's such a

5
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: bizarre world. I apologize for that, all right. Go, you

Speaker 1: and not he Armstrong and Getty Eddie Eddie. Why from

8
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: a studio cz here you know what it is. It's

9
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: a dimly lit room deeper than the bowels of the

10
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty communications compound. And hey, everybody today under

11
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: the two ledge of our general manager, America's peace officer,

12
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: your local police department. There you go. That just like

13
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: a tip of the cap sign of respect for a

14
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: tough job. That's sort of thing. Yeah, just certainly the

15
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: object of discussions. He says. I was just in the

16
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: bathroom doing my hair. That's where I was. I do

17
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: my hair before I come in. You what now a

18
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: drug code when you have very little hair like I do.

19
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: If when you get up in the morning it's all

20
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: matted down on one side and it looks terrible. Hanson

21
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: is nodding. How do you recognize this experience from other

22
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: people that have had that problem? My hairs all matted down.

23
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: It looks ridiculous. So I have to get my hands

24
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: wet and rub it through it, rub my head to

25
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: get it all fluffed. The tiny little hair is all

26
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: fluffed up again. He was being serious. Yes, I'm being serious.

27
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: He got practically no horror, all being completely serious. Dare

28
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: you to show up one day with matted hair and

29
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: see if any of us started dudes, so we don't

30
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: notice anything. Yeah, exactly, I could show up with a

31
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: pink afro and you notice anyway. So I was in

32
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: the bathroom doing my hair and y beautiful hair, and

33
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: I was reminded that i'd heard a story that flushing

34
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: the toilet can send coronavirus particles into the air. Yes,

35
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: questioning whether you should flush the toilet as much, or

36
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: if you should get some sort of remote control flushing

37
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: so you can flush it when you're out of the

38
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: room or something. I heard a doctor saying he breathes

39
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: more slowly and less deeply when he's in a bathroom

40
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: in hale and stuff down deep into his lungs. That's

41
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: pretty interesting, huh. So, but by the way, it fellas

42
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: like he were more susceptible to the Corona bald guys.

43
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: The story came out last week, ten days ago something

44
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: like that. Doesn't make any difference whether my stubble has

45
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: been fluffed or not. I hate to admit this as

46
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: a Harry Harry man with a thick, lustrous head of

47
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: chestnut hair. But bald fellers have more androgens and some

48
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: male hormones, which is why I'm so incredibly effeminate. Um

49
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: and and that you've seen that the death toll among

50
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: men is much higher than women and the outcomes tend

51
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: to be worse. Blah blah blah. They think it has

52
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: to do with those manly manly hormones, but nobody's quite

53
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: sure why. One of the many question marks attached to this,

54
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: and you have more of those if you don't have hair. Yes,

55
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. That is one of the indicators.

56
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: My kids, my my one son particularly has hair like

57
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: he's Eric clapped in nineteen sixty seven, just the big,

58
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: full wavy It's crazy. Yeah, I know him all the time.

59
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: I'd like to have had your hair one day, just

60
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: for the options involved. A couple of my kids have

61
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: hair thicker than the bears. It's amazing. Um. Back to

62
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: the toilet. So as I read more about where you

63
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: can and can't can't catch the coronavirus, yet another article

64
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: in the Wall Street Journal today about that the science

65
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: is in UM, I know how it's it's so much

66
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: about breathing in close contact, rarely from surfaces. UM. Very

67
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: difficult to get outdoors. So it's in a closed room,

68
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: close to someone else for a length of time. That's

69
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: that's what does you But so bat and you know,

70
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm relatively safe most of the places

71
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: I go. But bathrooms I don't know who's been in there.

72
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: And then you got the coffin sneezing, blowing your nose

73
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 1: and flush and toilets, the droplets in the air. Yeah,

74
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 1: caldron of disease. Maybe I shouldn't stay out of bathrooms,

75
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: well in the whole, in a closed room, extended amount

76
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: of time talking to people. I think the President needs

77
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: to outlaw meetings at the office. There you go, probably

78
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: let's say for the next ten years, Let's see how

79
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: it goes. Wouldn't that be awesome? If what comes out

80
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: of this the silver lining is doing away with pointless meetings,

81
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: or they gotta be two minutes or less, right, because

82
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna do that. You're gonna do that. You're gonna

83
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: do that. Anybody got a question? Yes? Should I do

84
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: it this way? Yes? Okay, I have a question. Are

85
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: we gonna have the summer picnic? No, you're exposing us

86
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: all to more possible virus with your stupid question that

87
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with what we're here for. Silence, jackass, Silence, jackass.

88
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: If I'm your CEO, that's the way meetings would go.

89
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: I'm willing to accept any offers that come my way.

90
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: And the questions almost always coming from the people that

91
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: have the least power or influence over the organization. Yeah,

92
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: that's so common. You just started here last week. Put

93
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: your hand out exactly exactly. You work like eleven hours

94
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: a week. You're just clearly killing time. See, you make

95
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: more money. The rest of us have to get back

96
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: to work or nod from you or no offense. But

97
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: just with your position, you could do a great job

98
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: or a horrible job and nobody would know the difference. Right,

99
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,799
Speaker 1: it's just minor impact. So no questions from you don't

100
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: make me Silence You jackass. Let's introduce everybody in the

101
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: squad there to kick off the show. There's our board

102
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: operator Michael Angelo, President button's flipping toggles, pulling levers. Sorry

103
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: this morning, Michael, go ahead. Yesterday, during the eight o'clock hour,

104
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: we had a horrific scene when I almost ended the

105
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: hour at an improper time, and it was because I

106
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: couldn't see the clock. And just you know, I so

107
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: yesterday I finally had to swallow my pride and I

108
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: had executive producer enlarged the clock on my screen and

109
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: now I can see it beautifully and it will never

110
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: ever happen again. Keep your fund for the older man. Yes,

111
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: keeping time will never be a problem again. What times

112
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: your step in tub being wow? Wow? The youth on

113
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: the staff, that's ages and staff on that's hate speech.

114
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: Getting yourself a walk in tub and bigger buttons. There

115
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,559
Speaker 1: you go, that's all right. So I went home, cried,

116
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: swallowed my pride, and there came back today. Fantastic. You

117
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: got to adapt. Um. Do you have one of those

118
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: remote controls at home, the really big numbers that you

119
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: can get. No, not yet, but keeping time will never

120
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: be a problem again. I'll be on it. Excellent. Um,

121
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: there is positive Sean who smile lights up the room.

122
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: How are you showing doing very well? But I do

123
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: have a correction to many minutes. It was thanks Michael

124
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: was timing. It was it was yesterday's show. We were

125
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: just cussing one of the many Karen's that was that

126
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: finds our finds herself in the news cycle these days,

127
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: and I got my Karen's confused. I asserted that the Karen,

128
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: the California Karen we were talking about at one point

129
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: during the engagement, said something to the effect of go

130
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: back to where you came from, that was a different Karen.

131
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: I apologize here, despite the request from my Twitter mentions,

132
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: I will not be issuing a written apology to all Karen's,

133
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: but I will say hashtag too many Karen's. Okay, yeah,

134
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: we got that story completely wrong. Actually, it's just top

135
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: to bottom, and I'm to blame because I I brought

136
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: it up fine moments. The The overall gist of it

137
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: was the same though, which was my point. The the

138
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: details of that particular story, I really wasn't that interested in.

139
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: It's just that overall phenomenon of that sort of thing.

140
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: As her husband now has been fired. So not only

141
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: did the Karen have to lose her job for doing

142
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: something that the society decided was no good for, you know,

143
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: an hour on Twitter, but her husband had to go. Right.

144
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: But what was unclear to me at the time, and

145
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: apparently I still have no idea, is did he play

146
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: an active role in it or is he just like THEO,

147
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: taped it and allowed it to happen. I guess like

148
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: the l A Galaxy, his his mouthy hot wife made

149
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: some untoward comments on Twitter or something. The Galaxy let

150
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: him go because he's got a mouthy hot wife. Really yeah, yeah,

151
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: I don't think the fact that she was hot went

152
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: into the decision. How did that the decision of marrier? True?

153
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: I am going to in one random day in the

154
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 1: next five days, I'm gonna come in with my hair

155
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: matted down and see if anybody notices I am on

156
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: a letter time all thought you were joking you have stubble. No,

157
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: I was doing my hair. That's what I was doing

158
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: before I walked in the room. Was in the bathroom, Okay,

159
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: my hair you made? Did they have video camera in there?

160
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: Perhaps you could go back and then look at the video.

161
00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 1: I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Jogetti on this Wednesday, June. We

162
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: are arm strong and getting we approve of this program.

163
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: Let's begin fluffing our stubble. According to FCC rules and regulations,

164
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: the show begins officially at mark. The United States didn't

165
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: inherit slavery from anybody. We created it. That is Senator

166
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: Tim Caine, who is willing to say anything, no matter

167
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: how stupid, inane, or inaccurate, if it scores political points. Well,

168
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: he was vice presidential candidate too, Yes, yes he was.

169
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 1: He was. Recall, that is unfreaking believable. That's a heck

170
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: of a thing to say. That's an evil thing to yeah,

171
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: that's horrid. Does not make things better, And it's it's

172
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: popular now in MSNBC Scarborough and all of them do it.

173
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: It's to regularly refer to our four hundred years of

174
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: systemic racism based on that sixteen nineteen project. The founding

175
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: of this country was founded on slavery. That's what it's

176
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: always been about. We've you know, institutionalized racism on purpose

177
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: from the beginning and it continues. Man. We we we need

178
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: to work that out as a narrative and in our nation. Well,

179
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: and we have folks being dragged into training sessions all

180
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: over the country now where they are being taught to

181
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: be woke at their office, at their workplace. It's very

182
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: much like the uh, you know, the non sexual harassment

183
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: training we've taken and everybody had to go in a

184
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: room or some dope man or woman and instructed you

185
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: on how not to sexually harass. And of course studies

186
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: have shown sexual harassment rises after those for some reason.

187
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: But um, so yeah, those woke classes are now being

188
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: required at a lot of employers. Really and here's here's

189
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: the issue. And didn't get any of the what they

190
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: teach you in those things to absolutely um. But the

191
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: problem is, and most of the terrified and or just

192
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: um uninformed employers and executives don't understand, is these activist

193
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: groups have redefined all the terms that you think, you know,

194
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: like racism, You are a racist unless you adopt wholly

195
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: their political views. That is what you must sign the

196
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: forms and give away, you know, your entire intellect to

197
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: these activist groups. Otherwise you are a racist. So when

198
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: you make your employees pledged not to be a racist,

199
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: that's what you're making them pledged to do. More on

200
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: that James Lindsay is on fire on the Twitter machine

201
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: on that. That's that's good stuff right there. How's mailbag look?

202

Speaker 1: been drinking her syrup since I was a tiny lad.

208
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: But Aunt Jemima is going away. We'll talk about that

209
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: coming up. And also a one hundred and thirty six

210
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: year old Christopher Columbus statue being removed from a park

211
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: in St. Louis. I want to talk about that phenomenon

212
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: as it sweeps the nation. Yeah, troubled times. Have you

213
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: noticed that crazy man crazy? There's a little hope on

214
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: the Chinese bat fever, then steroid if you're one of

215
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: the very few who gets it and the very few

216
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: who has a severe case of it. Um they've they've

217
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: cut deaths by like, which is, you know, if you've

218
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: got it, you're hoping more like but at least there's hope. Mailbag,

219
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,599
Speaker 1: you can email us mail bag and I'm strong and

220
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: getty dot com and there to register opinions, send along

221
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: something you think we ought to be talked about. Whatever

222
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: freedom loving quote of the day from Stephen Fry today.

223
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: We've we've had a couple of Stephen Fry quotes. And

224
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: I really even know who he is, so I checked around.

225
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: He's an English writer and actor and director and kind

226
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: of a renaissance man. He is a liberal, but a

227
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: kind of an old school liberal. I'm a fan, like

228
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: is he a contemporary like alive today or from the second? Yeah? Good,

229
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: good question. Well he's he's tweeting, so there's there's a

230
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: hint um he's yeah, he appears to be I don't know,

231
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: in his sixties. Maybe he was buddies with a Hitchens. Okay, okay,

232
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: Chris Hitchens Liberal, Yeah, okay, anyway, he wrote the following

233
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: social media thanks to Chris for sending us along. Not

234
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: Chris Hitchens, He's past. This is a different Chris. No.

235
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: Social media is a stalking ground for the sanctimoniously self

236
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: righteous who loved his second guest to link to conclusions

237
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: and be offended, worst, to be offended on behalf of others.

238
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: They do not even know, it's as nasty and unwholesome

239
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: characteristic as can be imagined. It doesn't matter whether they

240
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: think they're defend women, men, transgender people, Muslims, humanists. The

241
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: ghastliness is absolutely the same. Hard to argue with that

242
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: that's good. Is it gonna take a full generation to

243
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: end up with only people who have grown up with

244
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: Twitter around for it to to settle down? That's an

245
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: interesting question. I'm more focused on whether the classical liberal

246
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: liberal or the woke militant religious liberal will triumph. Life

247
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: experience tends to get you off of the woke fanatical thing.

248
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: Although if you can postpone any sort of rational thought, um,

249
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: then maybe you can hang with it. Thought you might

250
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: enjoy this, writes John. This is a joke Jack, A priest,

251
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: a rabbit, and a minister walk into a bar. The

252
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: bartender asks the rabbit, don't you have a rabbit? Says

253
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm only here because of auto correct.

254
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: A priest, a rabbit, and a minister. That's pretty fun.

255
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: I know that's a good joke. I read that. I

256
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: cracked up. I said I'm gonna try this on my wife.

257
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: I readed her. She gets that mystified look, and then

258
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: cracks up rab well, I'm not gonna explain it to you.

259
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: Don't get it. You don't get it. He says, Oh, shot,

260
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: I'm getting the duck out of here, then walks out

261
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: of the bar. Yes, well said, let's see. Oh, Matt says,

262
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: you guys used a word a few weeks ago. I'm

263
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: racking my brain trying to remember it because I've been

264
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: googling over half an hour. Google is evil. By the way,

265
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: Google is completely evil. We'll be talking about that, please.

266
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: It's when something is named. You would have noticed that.

267
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: It's when something is named after the fact, essentially a name,

268
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: possibly before, but everyone is said, not a word for

269
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: it after its original conception. I don't even remember discussing

270
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: the concept. Yeah, that does not ring a bell at all.

271
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: I wondered if anybody else. You're probably listening to a

272
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: more erudite radio show perhaps or more podcast or something. Yeah,

273
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: I don't have any ideas. You know, we do talk about,

274
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: you know, names of things and sometimes origins of words.

275
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: But no, that's that we're I'm we're as mystified as

276
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: you are, Sir Rich Rights. Hey fellas, yesterday you talked

277
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: about a perfect storm for riots after the election. I

278
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: live in Portland, where people rioted four years ago before

279
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: Trumpet even started the job. Now, after four years of

280
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: the world being indoctrinated about how horribly is there will

281
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: for sure be riots no matter what my perfect storm was.

282
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: They believe a lot of the George Floyd protests and

283
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: protests around the world that have been uh pretty you know, heated.

284
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: They're trying to figure out why exactly are these protests

285
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: so hot right now, and they think it's because we've

286
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: all been locked The combination of being locked up, worried

287
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: about your job, worried about your health, it's made everybody

288
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: like anxious and angry and crazy, and that's going to

289
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: continue through the summer up to election time. You combine

290
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: that with a close election and some severe problems with

291
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: elections if the COVID's going on and uh distancing and

292
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: machines not working in ballidly you know, mail in ballots

293
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: and all this sort of stuff. See the problems they

294
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: had in Georgia a week or so ago. You got

295
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: a recipe for some severe rioting and a real belief

296
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: that this election actually wasn't legit. No, that would be terrible,

297
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: and half the country in a close election, no matter

298
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: which direction it goes, believes that's not my president. I

299
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: think that's likely where we end up. See Armstrong and

300
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: Getty show a quart to the reason bull fewer Americans

301
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: have a negative a vice president Joe Biden then they

302
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: did of Hillary Clinton said Clinton, stop asking people leave

303
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: me audio poles. That's pretty funny. Oh boys. So here's

304
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,719
Speaker 1: a couple of stories that I don't know what I

305
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: think of. I realized as a talk show host, I'm

306
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: supposed to have a very solid opinion yes and that's

307
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: the one and defend it strong, and people who disagree

308
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: with me are evil. But I don't know what I

309
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: think about either one of these stories. I'll start with

310
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: PepsiCo owns Aunt Jemima Syrup. Didn't know that they own

311
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: practically everything you eat a drink. PepsiCo doesn't anyway, They've

312
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: decided to drop the whole Aunt Jemima label thing. Now

313
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: Aunt Jemima there's a black woman on the bottle of syrup.

314
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: That's all I really know about it, and that's the

315
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: that's the extent that I've thought about it my whole life.

316
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: This gets to well exactly This gets to the I

317
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: don't know what to think about this thing. I'm I

318
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: don't want to get too far down the road of

319
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: systemic racism and racism you don't see in white privilege,

320
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: because we'll be off on that subject. But I feel

321
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: like Aunt Jemima being on the bottle of syrup, which

322
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: I've used since I as long as I can remember,

323
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: had no impact on me whatsoever in terms of my

324
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: my thoughts about Black America. I really honestly believe that

325
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: I believe it had zero impact on me. It's also

326
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: gonna have zero impact at being gone, So you know,

327
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm not like angry that it's going away. Is separate

328
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: to the statutes I'm about to talk about. I don't

329
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: think there. I don't think I don't think there's any

330
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: possible damage that could be done by removing Aunt Jemima

331
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: from the syrup. So you're saying that if you went

332
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: into an accounting firm, say with help for for help

333
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: with your taxes, and in a black woman or to

334
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 1: meet with you, you wouldn't think this accountant is just

335
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: like Aunt Jema. Believe I've got any lingering anything about

336
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: Aunt Jemima being on the Sir the sir let alone

337
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: something deeply negative. I just don't believe it. Now. Yeah, well,

338
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: I've heard some stuff about an Jemima that is not

339
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: so savory. I heard it from Mrs Butterworth, who is

340
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: my syrup. I also feel like if you introduced aunt

341
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: Jemima today, but you and you go back with the old,

342
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: uh slave woman look that they had up until a

343
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Remember they changed the look of Angela.

344
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: It was kind of an old timey mammy, early twentieth century. Yeah,

345
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: but I think I think if you introduced it today

346
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: and presented the story as this is trying to show

347
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: that black women who worked for white families contributed. Also,

348
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: here's someone who's recipe for syrup was so loved it

349
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: was stolen and appropriated and used all over Southern America,

350
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: became a national brand. Right if you spun it like that,

351
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: you could make a hero. It's a positive thing to

352
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: spin syrup. Well, no, I'm yeah, Ultimately, I say, well,

353
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: my whole point is, I don't think it has any

354
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: impact on anybody at all. I don't believe it is

355
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: a symbol of racism or rain. I don't think it's anything.

356
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: I don't think it has any impact any more than

357
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: the than the what was the ivory soap baby contributed

358
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: to attitudes toward infants? I don't know. I just these

359
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: brand names are lucky Charms is contributed to racism against

360
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: my people, the Irish anyway, um, so like, but I'm

361
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: not certain about that. But I just feel like it

362
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: did not cause me to have any negative feelings about

363
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: Black America in any way, having drank drank bottles of

364
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: and Jemima's ear throughout my life on the statue things.

365
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: So they just took down a one hundred and thirty

366
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: six year old of Christopher Columbus statue in a park

367
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: in St. Louis. It's been there a very long time. Um.

368
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: It was originally put up to honor contributions of immigrants

369
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: in America, which is something we're supposed to be doing,

370
00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: not white ones. Um. I guess Portuguese is stupid Portuguese.

371
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: My only problem with this I think, well, for if

372
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: anybody's ever listened on Columbus Day, you know it's right.

373
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: It's the whole Columbus thing. I don't care about at all.

374
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't I think it's a completely different sort of

375
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: thing than the Confederate thing, and certainly a different sort

376
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: of thing than taken down Thomas Jefferson. But but just

377
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: in general, the thing that bothers me the most is

378
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: it's being decided by mobs. That's not the way we

379
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: should decide these things. Mobs shouldn't decide what's up in

380
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: the park. I would like there to be a movement

381
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: toward you hate the statue, you think it's gonna come down.

382
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's get petitions signed, Let's go to city

383
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: council meetings, let's get it on the ballot for the

384
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: next election and get it removed. And you might easily

385
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: have enough support in your community to have the statue

386
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: taken down. That way of doing it fine, But mobs

387
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 1: deciding what acts or statues get to be is definitely

388
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: no way to run a country. And that's the way

389
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: it's going right now. The mobs didn't bring the statue down,

390
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: but they had defaced it and spray painted it so

391
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: many times. The park finally said, we just can't afford

392
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: to provide enough security to keep this from being to face.

393
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: It's like the Heckler's veto Yeah, they're afraid at this

394
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: point as it is, old enough and carved by some

395
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: famous carver of statues that it is an artifact and

396
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: actual work of art. They decided we got to move

397
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: it into a museum to protect it. But the mob

398
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: should not decide I stay something what comes down. Well,

399
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 1: I agree with you wholeheartedly. I almost hate saying it

400
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: out loud. Not that like the Antifa maniacs are listening

401
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: to this show or anything, but they so discredit themselves

402
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: when they do things as an angry mob, as opposed

403
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: to pursuing the levers of our republic like you described,

404
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: good solid activism. That would then, and this is the

405
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: part I really don't want to hear them here, they

406
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: would learn how the process works. They would be better organized,

407
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: They would know who to petition and in what way.

408
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: It would probably be more effective than launching their ridiculous,

409
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: woke schemes on the rest of us. I almost prefer

410
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: them acting like angry idiots. Well, that was the argument

411
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: Barack Obama was making a couple of weeks ago about

412
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: getting organized at your your local level, going to city

413
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: council meetings, voting, that sort of thing. There's easily enough

414
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: power in a lot of communities to get these statues

415
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: taken down in a democratic fashion as opposed to in

416
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: the middle of the night with ropes and you know bats.

417
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: That's no way to make decisions. I find that very,

418
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 1: very troubling. I do like this, uh, this movement that's

419
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: going right now. Is this just in Tennessee or is

420
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: this all across the nation sewn? I think it's just

421
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: in Tennessee, but I'm trying to get it going all across.

422
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: In Tennessee, there is a movement going to replace all

423
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: statues with Dolly Parton statues. American Treasure simply reads wrote Joe,

424
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: Lene and I will always of you in the same day.

425
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: What have you done? Right? Right? Wow? There you go,

426
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: or some sort of movement of people throwing up Columbus

427
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: statues all over the country. You know, you show up

428
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: to Main Street, they're like three Columbus statues. That would

429
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: be funny. I mean, I'm sure you can get some

430
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: sort of cheap plaster cast or something like that and

431
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: crank out like a hundred fifty of them for a

432
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: thousand bucks. I'd kick into that. Not because I have

433
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: any particular interest or pride in Columbus. I really the

434
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: whole glorifying Columbus thing is pretty silly, absolutely, um, but

435
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: I just I love the trollery of it. Making in

436
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: him an evil spreader of genocide is also silly. Ryan,

437
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: He's just a product of his time, like you're the

438
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: product of your time. The biggest Columbus statue, obviously, is

439
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: the one Columbus circle there right at the corner of

440
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: Central Park in Manhattan. That's that's what. That one's a

441
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: big deal, and that's when you'll know the mob is

442
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: really taken over. Yeah, any way, was that compared to

443
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: the Robert E. Lee statue that was like sixty feet high?

444
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: I meant big in terms of importance on a height. Yeah,

445
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: I haven't been there in ages anyway? Where were we?

446
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: I s So you will likely, if you are part

447
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: of corporate America, you will likely be dragged into a

448
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: wokeness anti racist slash diversity training session. And the fabulous,

449
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: the brilliant James Lindsay. He's a lefty professor, but he

450
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: hates the the woke cancel culture. He has a great

451
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: series of well he has some suggestions for how to

452
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: approach it if indeed you are forced to attend one

453
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: of these. Anybody have any thoughts in the whole and

454
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: Jemima thing, is that actually harming in America? I mean,

455
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't helping in America either. My care My reaction

456
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: to this conversation is that it's making me hungry for pancakes.

457
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: That does sound good, doesn't Yeah, and a couple of

458
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: sausage links on the side or bacon whatever you got,

459
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: have you had? Do you do you ever drink the

460
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: light syrup? Drink it? Stop saying that I just have

461
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: a couple on ice and I have pancakes once every

462
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: four years. At this point in my life, was that

463
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: just once a week I play the pancakes. I gained

464
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: two pounds, no kidding, or at least once a week

465
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: on pancakes. But I'm flipping love pancakes. No punny. Like

466
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: a lot of diet stuff, it just tastes like it's

467
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: so much worse for you. I mean, you look at

468
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 1: the label and there's less calories, but the chemicals involved

469
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: in diet soda light syrup, that sort of sting is

470
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: your body is screaming, this is gonna give you cancer.

471
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: Allegedly back when I was a pancake eater, which sounds

472
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: like some sort of slur um I got onto a

473
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: real maple syrup. Oh yeah, that's when my one son

474
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: will only drink that, and it stops saying drink Nobody

475
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: drinks syrup. Nobody says that. You've been saying it for

476
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: so long anyway, But there's there are horrific amounts of

477
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: sugar in it. But that's probably well, it's it's not

478
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: good for you, but it's probably better. Got to wap

479
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: it up whatever chemicals. You know, it's got to be

480
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: some corporation is squirting out of their factory and pokeps

481
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: in maple syrup. You only need just a little bit,

482
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: a little bit, just drowned it. Yeah, then you drank it.

483
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: Eat on the rock. Text line is four got these

484
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: pancakes from restaurant called pancakes egg cetera. It's kind of

485
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: a plant words. Oh god, hard to imagine he didn't

486
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: get elected text line four one five k FTZ are

487
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: Strong and the Armstrong and Getty Show. Text line Soon

488
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: we'll have to name more Columbus, change the name or

489
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: Columbus land in Columbus, Ohio. Absolutely right, and landed in Columbus, Ohio,

490
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: declared it his everybody knows that m if evil. Take

491
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: two if power corrupts, and there's nothing more powerful than

492
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: big tech right now, beware big tech. They're evil. More

493
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: on that to come. And when they're not evil, they're

494
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: stupid because they're so big and and and powerful. Being

495
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: stupid is not good. You're talking about your facebooks, your Google's,

496
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: That's who I'm talking about, your your Twitter's, Twitter's. Do

497
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: you know who James Lindsay is. He's a professor Portland State, right.

498
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: He's a lefty, a nice fellow, but he's a classic

499
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: free thought, uh debate discussion lefty. And he's troubled as

500
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: we are, by the the angry, bloodthirsty woke mob. And

501
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: he tweets a lot, and he's a crazy smart guy

502
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: about the phenomenon of anti racism and critical race theory

503
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: and wokeness and and all of it. I think he

504
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: might be going crazy. He claims he's not, And I

505
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: think he's going crazy. Do you I think this is

506
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: driving him? You think the stress is getting to him? Well,

507
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: I just hope he keeps cranking out his smartness while

508
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: while his sanity last. Someone he tweets, actually like thirty

509
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: people in the last hour or two told me they

510
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: have to sit through an anti racist slash diversity training

511
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: for work tomorrow and ask for advice. Here's something you

512
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: can really do that works. Ask calibrated questions. Ask questions

513
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: about definitions. So when you say racist and anti racist

514
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: you don't mean like the normal definition. Sound confused? This

515
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: is important. You're there to learn, after all. Don't fight back.

516
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: Just be a really slow learner and ask questions to expose.

517
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: Ask questions about implications, like so, if I become an

518
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: anti racist, am I still a racist? How do I

519
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: stop being racist? How does this pro graham make me

520
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: not racist again? You're there to learn, so sound like

521
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: it's slower. First, First of all, I wonder how prevalent

522
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: this is. Is this the new going to be the new?

523
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: Like sexual harassment training? Yes, that everybody's taking a work well,

524
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: as he said, he's had dozens of people in the

525
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: last couple hours. Hey, I got dragged. I gotta go

526
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: to one of those two. I wonder if we'll be

527
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: doing that. And secondly, um see, am I a person

528
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: who wants to make America better place? Am I afraid

529
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: of an ideology taking over that's going to destroy the nation?

530
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: And I want to, you know, stand athwart to Yale

531
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: stop or um, do I just want to keep my job,

532
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: in which case I would keep my mouth shutting that training,

533
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: sign the piece of paper, and go back to my

534
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: cubicle so that the boss doesn't say that person is

535
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: asking all the questions. We need to get rid of them. Yeah. Well,

536
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: I would suggest that if you feel the need to respond,

537
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: this is a great way to do it. On the

538
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: other hand, rolling your eyes that your your compatriots there

539
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: in the office and just waiting till it's over is

540
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: another strap. Although I've clicked you know, yes, I've taken

541
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: the sexual harassment training and a variety of other things

542
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: many times over my life. I'd want to read the

543
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: fine print on this one. Yes, yes, I will tell

544
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: you this. Most of this training, well, let me put

545
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: it to you like this. Ten percent of it is

546
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: to address the problem it says it's there to address.

547
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: The other nine is so that your company slash corporation

548
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: can say, when the lawyers come after him, whoa, whoa, whoa,

549
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: we trained our people. In fact, Joe signed a piece

550
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: of paper saying he'd taken the training, so we did

551
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: our part. Don't sue us, sue him. That's why most

552
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: of this exists. On the other hand, this uh list

553
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: of questions is less about the specifics of being in

554
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: a training session and more about just the principles of

555
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: all so anyway, try to get them to say, you

556
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: can't stop being a racist and the contradictions. Wait, so

557
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: if color blindness means not seeing race and that makes

558
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: me racist, seeing race make me racist? Is race supposed

559
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: to matter or not matter? I'm confused? Slow learner mode, activate,

560
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: make them explain it and make it look hard to learn.

561
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: It's about if. If it's about implicit bias, learn to

562
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: gain the test. It's actually very easy. Then report this.

563
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes you take it. They're talking about the tests you

564
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: have to take that show your implicitly biased. Sometimes you

565
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: take it and it gives you a strong pro black bias,

566
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: other times strong pro white. What gives This part is

567
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: kind of confusing, but moving along, ask them really obvious

568
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: questions like doesn't making us focus on race make the

569
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: issue more sensitive? And doesn't a reporting system make it

570
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: harder to work with people we don't trust, Make them

571
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: explain the practical failures away and look silly. This isn't

572
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: just a fun strategy that can work, especially on the

573
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: people around you. It's actually court of the literature. You

574
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: can even mention it to show what a good interested

575
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: student you are. Um. For instance, Barbara Applebaum says in

576
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: Being White, Being Good, it's a book. Apparently it is

577
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: a book, apparently because it was that ebooks are Kindle,

578
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: it was Kindle Amazon. So when I was on my

579
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: Amazon Kindle app yesterday, it's got recommended books, and they're

580
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: all these woke racist you're you're racist books that are

581
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: so popular, and that's everything they're recommending to me. That's

582
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: the only thing I should be reading completely from one,

583
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: I think, very narrow point of view. That's what's being

584
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: recommended for readers now by Amazon. This, this whole thing

585
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: is troubling. Yeah. Yeah, But in her book, she says

586
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 1: the only legitimate way to disagree is by asking challenging

587
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: questions to understand to eventually agree. So do that, take

588
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: that vibe and approach, be a slow learner and points

589
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: subversively at the problems. Again. You know, if you want

590
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: to stick your neck out at your your workplace, that's

591
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 1: how you ought to do it. I get it. Um Oh,

592
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: I like this, by the way, he says, if you

593
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: can pull it off recorded try to get them on

594
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: audio saying reprehensible stuff. You don't have to force this,

595
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: it comes out naturally, or get caught up and confused

596
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: and contradictions or nonsense. Don't get fired. Play along and subvert. Wait,

597
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 1: so are we talking about real racism or systemic racism? Okay,

598
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: if systemic racism is real racism, what do we call

599
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: real racism? So we don't get them confused. So we

600
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: can all be racist because of systemic racism even if

601
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 1: there's no real racism. That's some good subverting. Oh boy.

602
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 1: Then he gets into the whole white fragility thing, which

603
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: is one of the great rhetorical traps of my lifetime,

604
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: where if you say I'm a racist, well then you

605
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: you get beaten down by the mob. And if you

606
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: say I'm not a racist, then you're guilty of white fragility,

607
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: which proves you're a racist and you get beaten down

608
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: by the mob. It's very much like denying your a

609
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: witch back in the day. In fact, it's the same

610
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: rhetorical trap. Yeah. Well, I've recommended many times, you know,

611
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: just Tay can any of James Lyndsay's YouTube videos or

612
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: podcast he he talks about the same thing over and

613
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: over and over again. But it's it's really interesting stuff.

614
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: And the point of this whole game is a setting

615
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: up rules. You can't win, right exactly, You're always on

616
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: the defensive. Well, it's funny. That's a variation of what

617
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: I and Randy used to talk about, which is, you know,

618
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: we have so many rules, we will find you guilty

619
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: of them, and then you are under our power. You're

620
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: a lawbreaker and we will break you. Um and and

621
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,760
Speaker 1: they're pursuing the same the same techniques. Hey, on the

622
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: topic of taking down various statues and things like that

623
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 1: in California Sutter from Sutter's Fort and maybe learned about

624
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: it and down. How about Eli Yale? He was a

625
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: slave trader? Somebody texted, is that true? Eli Yale was

626
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 1: a slave trader? I have to do a little digging

627
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: on that. Oh what was it? What was the other

628
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: one I heard the other day? That would be a

629
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: complicated one. Oh, James Penny. I'm pretty sure it was

630
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: James Penny, for whom Penny Lane the Beatles song. Uh, well,

631
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: the song was named after the street. The street was

632
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: named after the dude. He was involved in the slave

633
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: trade too, or something similar. So uh. There are some

634
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: who want the Beatles to change the name of Penny

635
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,959
Speaker 1: Lane Lane to Dane Dede. You just have to bleep

636
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: it out, Fenny Lane, Kenny Lane. There you'd go, Kenny right,

637
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: attribute to Kenny Rogers right. Armstrong and Jetty
