What 0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:15.640 an introduction that was? Holy godh gosh, nobody does it better. 0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:19.119 We don't want another incident here. Good. It's such a 0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:24.079 bizarre world. I apologize for that, all right. Go, you 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:29.560 are not crazy, Your views are not evil fishers Ed mcmiyon, 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:44.479 and not he Armstrong and Getty Eddie Eddie. Why from 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:49.200 a studio cz here you know what it is. It's 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.720 a dimly lit room deeper than the bowels of the 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:55.920 Armstrong and Getty communications compound. And hey, everybody today under 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.880 the two ledge of our general manager, America's peace officer, 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:05.040 your local police department. There you go. That just like 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:06.959 a tip of the cap sign of respect for a 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:10.560 tough job. That's sort of thing. Yeah, just certainly the 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.560 object of discussions. He says. I was just in the 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:16.760 bathroom doing my hair. That's where I was. I do 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.240 my hair before I come in. You what now a 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:26.039 drug code when you have very little hair like I do. 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.360 If when you get up in the morning it's all 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:31.600 matted down on one side and it looks terrible. Hanson 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.560 is nodding. How do you recognize this experience from other 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:37.280 people that have had that problem? My hairs all matted down. 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.560 It looks ridiculous. So I have to get my hands 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:41.920 wet and rub it through it, rub my head to 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.280 get it all fluffed. The tiny little hair is all 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.480 fluffed up again. He was being serious. Yes, I'm being serious. 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:51.360 He got practically no horror, all being completely serious. Dare 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:52.840 you to show up one day with matted hair and 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.640 see if any of us started dudes, so we don't 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.040 notice anything. Yeah, exactly, I could show up with a 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:03.040 pink afro and you notice anyway. So I was in 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:08.040 the bathroom doing my hair and y beautiful hair, and 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.480 I was reminded that i'd heard a story that flushing 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:14.480 the toilet can send coronavirus particles into the air. Yes, 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:18.920 questioning whether you should flush the toilet as much, or 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.280 if you should get some sort of remote control flushing 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:22.679 so you can flush it when you're out of the 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:27.440 room or something. I heard a doctor saying he breathes 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.360 more slowly and less deeply when he's in a bathroom 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.320 in hale and stuff down deep into his lungs. That's 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:38.640 pretty interesting, huh. So, but by the way, it fellas 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:42.239 like he were more susceptible to the Corona bald guys. 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.200 The story came out last week, ten days ago something 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.080 like that. Doesn't make any difference whether my stubble has 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.240 been fluffed or not. I hate to admit this as 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.880 a Harry Harry man with a thick, lustrous head of 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:58.640 chestnut hair. But bald fellers have more androgens and some 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:03.160 male hormones, which is why I'm so incredibly effeminate. Um 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.840 and and that you've seen that the death toll among 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.560 men is much higher than women and the outcomes tend 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.520 to be worse. Blah blah blah. They think it has 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.280 to do with those manly manly hormones, but nobody's quite 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.959 sure why. One of the many question marks attached to this, 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.200 and you have more of those if you don't have hair. Yes, 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.200 I didn't know that. That is one of the indicators. 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.080 My kids, my my one son particularly has hair like 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:27.000 he's Eric clapped in nineteen sixty seven, just the big, 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:32.919 full wavy It's crazy. Yeah, I know him all the time. 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.200 I'd like to have had your hair one day, just 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.640 for the options involved. A couple of my kids have 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.880 hair thicker than the bears. It's amazing. Um. Back to 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:44.760 the toilet. So as I read more about where you 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.560 can and can't can't catch the coronavirus, yet another article 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.760 in the Wall Street Journal today about that the science 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.200 is in UM, I know how it's it's so much 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:58.040 about breathing in close contact, rarely from surfaces. UM. Very 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.680 difficult to get outdoors. So it's in a closed room, 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.720 close to someone else for a length of time. That's 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.200 that's what does you But so bat and you know, 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.360 I feel like I'm relatively safe most of the places 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.240 I go. But bathrooms I don't know who's been in there. 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:15.520 And then you got the coffin sneezing, blowing your nose 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.919 and flush and toilets, the droplets in the air. Yeah, 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.799 caldron of disease. Maybe I shouldn't stay out of bathrooms, 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.039 well in the whole, in a closed room, extended amount 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.200 of time talking to people. I think the President needs 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.480 to outlaw meetings at the office. There you go, probably 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.560 let's say for the next ten years, Let's see how 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.599 it goes. Wouldn't that be awesome? If what comes out 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:39.320 of this the silver lining is doing away with pointless meetings, 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.719 or they gotta be two minutes or less, right, because 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:44.720 you're gonna do that. You're gonna do that. You're gonna 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:46.560 do that. Anybody got a question? Yes? Should I do 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.200 it this way? Yes? Okay, I have a question. Are 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.440 we gonna have the summer picnic? No, you're exposing us 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:55.080 all to more possible virus with your stupid question that 0:04:55.120 --> 0:05:00.159 has nothing to do with what we're here for. Silence, jackass, Silence, jackass. 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.560 If I'm your CEO, that's the way meetings would go. 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.120 I'm willing to accept any offers that come my way. 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.080 And the questions almost always coming from the people that 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:15.520 have the least power or influence over the organization. Yeah, 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.960 that's so common. You just started here last week. Put 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:22.480 your hand out exactly exactly. You work like eleven hours 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:26.640 a week. You're just clearly killing time. See, you make 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.320 more money. The rest of us have to get back 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.560 to work or nod from you or no offense. But 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.000 just with your position, you could do a great job 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.880 or a horrible job and nobody would know the difference. Right, 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:41.799 it's just minor impact. So no questions from you don't 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:48.280 make me Silence You jackass. Let's introduce everybody in the 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:49.920 squad there to kick off the show. There's our board 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:53.520 operator Michael Angelo, President button's flipping toggles, pulling levers. Sorry 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.600 this morning, Michael, go ahead. Yesterday, during the eight o'clock hour, 0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:00.040 we had a horrific scene when I almost ended the 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.840 hour at an improper time, and it was because I 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.320 couldn't see the clock. And just you know, I so 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.200 yesterday I finally had to swallow my pride and I 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.840 had executive producer enlarged the clock on my screen and 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.200 now I can see it beautifully and it will never 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.120 ever happen again. Keep your fund for the older man. Yes, 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.960 keeping time will never be a problem again. What times 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:24.680 your step in tub being wow? Wow? The youth on 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:29.040 the staff, that's ages and staff on that's hate speech. 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.600 Getting yourself a walk in tub and bigger buttons. There 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.559 you go, that's all right. So I went home, cried, 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.960 swallowed my pride, and there came back today. Fantastic. You 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:39.840 got to adapt. Um. Do you have one of those 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.279 remote controls at home, the really big numbers that you 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.440 can get. No, not yet, but keeping time will never 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.960 be a problem again. I'll be on it. Excellent. Um, 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.120 there is positive Sean who smile lights up the room. 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:51.839 How are you showing doing very well? But I do 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:56.200 have a correction to many minutes. It was thanks Michael 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.840 was timing. It was it was yesterday's show. We were 0:06:59.880 --> 0:07:03.599 just cussing one of the many Karen's that was that 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.120 finds our finds herself in the news cycle these days, 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.200 and I got my Karen's confused. I asserted that the Karen, 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.040 the California Karen we were talking about at one point 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.080 during the engagement, said something to the effect of go 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.880 back to where you came from, that was a different Karen. 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:22.640 I apologize here, despite the request from my Twitter mentions, 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.640 I will not be issuing a written apology to all Karen's, 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.840 but I will say hashtag too many Karen's. Okay, yeah, 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.360 we got that story completely wrong. Actually, it's just top 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.360 to bottom, and I'm to blame because I I brought 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:38.240 it up fine moments. The The overall gist of it 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.600 was the same though, which was my point. The the 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:44.240 details of that particular story, I really wasn't that interested in. 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:46.720 It's just that overall phenomenon of that sort of thing. 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:51.800 As her husband now has been fired. So not only 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:55.080 did the Karen have to lose her job for doing 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.760 something that the society decided was no good for, you know, 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.480 an hour on Twitter, but her husband had to go. Right. 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:03.080 But what was unclear to me at the time, and 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:06.760 apparently I still have no idea, is did he play 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.640 an active role in it or is he just like THEO, 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.880 taped it and allowed it to happen. I guess like 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.560 the l A Galaxy, his his mouthy hot wife made 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.800 some untoward comments on Twitter or something. The Galaxy let 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:25.200 him go because he's got a mouthy hot wife. Really yeah, yeah, 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:27.320 I don't think the fact that she was hot went 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:32.000 into the decision. How did that the decision of marrier? True? 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.000 I am going to in one random day in the 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:37.719 next five days, I'm gonna come in with my hair 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.720 matted down and see if anybody notices I am on 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:45.240 a letter time all thought you were joking you have stubble. No, 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:46.679 I was doing my hair. That's what I was doing 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.800 before I walked in the room. Was in the bathroom, Okay, 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.920 my hair you made? Did they have video camera in there? 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:54.559 Perhaps you could go back and then look at the video. 0:08:55.520 --> 0:09:00.080 I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Jogetti on this Wednesday, June. We 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:01.760 are arm strong and getting we approve of this program. 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:06.199 Let's begin fluffing our stubble. According to FCC rules and regulations, 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.320 the show begins officially at mark. The United States didn't 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:16.920 inherit slavery from anybody. We created it. That is Senator 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.920 Tim Caine, who is willing to say anything, no matter 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:25.600 how stupid, inane, or inaccurate, if it scores political points. Well, 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.800 he was vice presidential candidate too, Yes, yes he was. 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:34.319 He was. Recall, that is unfreaking believable. That's a heck 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.520 of a thing to say. That's an evil thing to yeah, 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:40.640 that's horrid. Does not make things better, And it's it's 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.840 popular now in MSNBC Scarborough and all of them do it. 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.040 It's to regularly refer to our four hundred years of 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:50.679 systemic racism based on that sixteen nineteen project. The founding 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.120 of this country was founded on slavery. That's what it's 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:57.559 always been about. We've you know, institutionalized racism on purpose 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:01.280 from the beginning and it continues. Man. We we we need 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.040 to work that out as a narrative and in our nation. Well, 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.319 and we have folks being dragged into training sessions all 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:11.120 over the country now where they are being taught to 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.760 be woke at their office, at their workplace. It's very 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.920 much like the uh, you know, the non sexual harassment 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.640 training we've taken and everybody had to go in a 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:25.840 room or some dope man or woman and instructed you 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.520 on how not to sexually harass. And of course studies 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.160 have shown sexual harassment rises after those for some reason. 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:34.319 But um, so yeah, those woke classes are now being 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:37.559 required at a lot of employers. Really and here's here's 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.800 the issue. And didn't get any of the what they 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:44.680 teach you in those things to absolutely um. But the 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:48.320 problem is, and most of the terrified and or just 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:53.679 um uninformed employers and executives don't understand, is these activist 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:57.160 groups have redefined all the terms that you think, you know, 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:03.480 like racism, You are a racist unless you adopt wholly 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:07.800 their political views. That is what you must sign the 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:11.640 forms and give away, you know, your entire intellect to 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:15.199 these activist groups. Otherwise you are a racist. So when 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.559 you make your employees pledged not to be a racist, 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.280 that's what you're making them pledged to do. More on 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:23.079 that James Lindsay is on fire on the Twitter machine 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.000 on that. That's that's good stuff right there. How's mailbag look? 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:30.000 Oh my gosh, epic, It's just it's fabulous. Wow, you laugh, 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.400 you'll cry. Comments on anything we've said, including do you 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.520 fluff your hair? Four one two nine five k f 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.680 TC is our text line four one five two nine 0:11:36.720 --> 0:12:01.280 five KFTC are strong the armstrong and Getty showed I've 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.320 been drinking her syrup since I was a tiny lad. 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.120 But Aunt Jemima is going away. We'll talk about that 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.000 coming up. And also a one hundred and thirty six 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:13.400 year old Christopher Columbus statue being removed from a park 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.360 in St. Louis. I want to talk about that phenomenon 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:20.800 as it sweeps the nation. Yeah, troubled times. Have you 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:26.560 noticed that crazy man crazy? There's a little hope on 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:30.280 the Chinese bat fever, then steroid if you're one of 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.120 the very few who gets it and the very few 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:36.079 who has a severe case of it. Um they've they've 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:39.840 cut deaths by like, which is, you know, if you've 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:44.120 got it, you're hoping more like but at least there's hope. Mailbag, 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:48.599 you can email us mail bag and I'm strong and 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.280 getty dot com and there to register opinions, send along 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.120 something you think we ought to be talked about. Whatever 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:57.600 freedom loving quote of the day from Stephen Fry today. 0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.440 We've we've had a couple of Stephen Fry quotes. And 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.600 I really even know who he is, so I checked around. 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.520 He's an English writer and actor and director and kind 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:11.320 of a renaissance man. He is a liberal, but a 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:15.199 kind of an old school liberal. I'm a fan, like 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:19.160 is he a contemporary like alive today or from the second? Yeah? Good, 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.880 good question. Well he's he's tweeting, so there's there's a 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.880 hint um he's yeah, he appears to be I don't know, 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:29.760 in his sixties. Maybe he was buddies with a Hitchens. Okay, okay, 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.840 Chris Hitchens Liberal, Yeah, okay, anyway, he wrote the following 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.520 social media thanks to Chris for sending us along. Not 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:41.640 Chris Hitchens, He's past. This is a different Chris. No. 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:46.319 Social media is a stalking ground for the sanctimoniously self 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:49.360 righteous who loved his second guest to link to conclusions 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.560 and be offended, worst, to be offended on behalf of others. 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:55.520 They do not even know, it's as nasty and unwholesome 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.880 characteristic as can be imagined. It doesn't matter whether they 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:03.200 think they're defend women, men, transgender people, Muslims, humanists. The 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:09.160 ghastliness is absolutely the same. Hard to argue with that 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:13.520 that's good. Is it gonna take a full generation to 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.640 end up with only people who have grown up with 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:20.560 Twitter around for it to to settle down? That's an 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:26.360 interesting question. I'm more focused on whether the classical liberal 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:33.600 liberal or the woke militant religious liberal will triumph. Life 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:38.000 experience tends to get you off of the woke fanatical thing. 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:42.480 Although if you can postpone any sort of rational thought, um, 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.840 then maybe you can hang with it. Thought you might 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:53.800 enjoy this, writes John. This is a joke Jack, A priest, 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:58.240 a rabbit, and a minister walk into a bar. The 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:02.080 bartender asks the rabbit, don't you have a rabbit? Says 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:04.640 I don't know. I'm only here because of auto correct. 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:15.160 A priest, a rabbit, and a minister. That's pretty fun. 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.840 I know that's a good joke. I read that. I 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.280 cracked up. I said I'm gonna try this on my wife. 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.920 I readed her. She gets that mystified look, and then 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:27.520 cracks up rab well, I'm not gonna explain it to you. 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.920 Don't get it. You don't get it. He says, Oh, shot, 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:33.440 I'm getting the duck out of here, then walks out 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:39.960 of the bar. Yes, well said, let's see. Oh, Matt says, 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.000 you guys used a word a few weeks ago. I'm 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:46.040 racking my brain trying to remember it because I've been 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.320 googling over half an hour. Google is evil. By the way, 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:53.360 Google is completely evil. We'll be talking about that, please. 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.520 It's when something is named. You would have noticed that. 0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:00.480 It's when something is named after the fact, essentially a name, 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:02.720 possibly before, but everyone is said, not a word for 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:07.840 it after its original conception. I don't even remember discussing 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:10.120 the concept. Yeah, that does not ring a bell at all. 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:12.640 I wondered if anybody else. You're probably listening to a 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:18.480 more erudite radio show perhaps or more podcast or something. Yeah, 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:22.760 I don't have any ideas. You know, we do talk about, 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:27.120 you know, names of things and sometimes origins of words. 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.040 But no, that's that we're I'm we're as mystified as 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:32.320 you are, Sir Rich Rights. Hey fellas, yesterday you talked 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:35.080 about a perfect storm for riots after the election. I 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:37.840 live in Portland, where people rioted four years ago before 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:41.280 Trumpet even started the job. Now, after four years of 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:43.920 the world being indoctrinated about how horribly is there will 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:47.200 for sure be riots no matter what my perfect storm was. 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:50.120 They believe a lot of the George Floyd protests and 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:55.080 protests around the world that have been uh pretty you know, heated. 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.280 They're trying to figure out why exactly are these protests 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:58.760 so hot right now, and they think it's because we've 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.480 all been locked The combination of being locked up, worried 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:03.520 about your job, worried about your health, it's made everybody 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.680 like anxious and angry and crazy, and that's going to 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.640 continue through the summer up to election time. You combine 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:12.160 that with a close election and some severe problems with 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:16.720 elections if the COVID's going on and uh distancing and 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.679 machines not working in ballidly you know, mail in ballots 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.560 and all this sort of stuff. See the problems they 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.200 had in Georgia a week or so ago. You got 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:27.840 a recipe for some severe rioting and a real belief 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.919 that this election actually wasn't legit. No, that would be terrible, 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:33.640 and half the country in a close election, no matter 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:36.520 which direction it goes, believes that's not my president. I 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:51.439 think that's likely where we end up. See Armstrong and 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:58.840 Getty show a quart to the reason bull fewer Americans 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:01.639 have a negative a vice president Joe Biden then they 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:07.400 did of Hillary Clinton said Clinton, stop asking people leave 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:15.680 me audio poles. That's pretty funny. Oh boys. So here's 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:17.719 a couple of stories that I don't know what I 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:19.679 think of. I realized as a talk show host, I'm 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:23.520 supposed to have a very solid opinion yes and that's 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:27.640 the one and defend it strong, and people who disagree 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:29.320 with me are evil. But I don't know what I 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.280 think about either one of these stories. I'll start with 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:36.120 PepsiCo owns Aunt Jemima Syrup. Didn't know that they own 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:39.600 practically everything you eat a drink. PepsiCo doesn't anyway, They've 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.840 decided to drop the whole Aunt Jemima label thing. Now 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:48.960 Aunt Jemima there's a black woman on the bottle of syrup. 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.080 That's all I really know about it, and that's the 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:53.640 that's the extent that I've thought about it my whole life. 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.680 This gets to well exactly This gets to the I 0:18:56.680 --> 0:19:01.399 don't know what to think about this thing. I'm I 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:03.159 don't want to get too far down the road of 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.600 systemic racism and racism you don't see in white privilege, 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:08.720 because we'll be off on that subject. But I feel 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:12.720 like Aunt Jemima being on the bottle of syrup, which 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:15.160 I've used since I as long as I can remember, 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:20.919 had no impact on me whatsoever in terms of my 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:24.840 my thoughts about Black America. I really honestly believe that 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.800 I believe it had zero impact on me. It's also 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:30.760 gonna have zero impact at being gone, So you know, 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.040 I'm not like angry that it's going away. Is separate 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:35.760 to the statutes I'm about to talk about. I don't 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:37.840 think there. I don't think I don't think there's any 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:41.280 possible damage that could be done by removing Aunt Jemima 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:43.480 from the syrup. So you're saying that if you went 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:46.840 into an accounting firm, say with help for for help 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:49.760 with your taxes, and in a black woman or to 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:52.959 meet with you, you wouldn't think this accountant is just 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:58.119 like Aunt Jema. Believe I've got any lingering anything about 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:00.800 Aunt Jemima being on the Sir the sir let alone 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:06.400 something deeply negative. I just don't believe it. Now. Yeah, well, 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:09.359 I've heard some stuff about an Jemima that is not 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:13.760 so savory. I heard it from Mrs Butterworth, who is 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:16.840 my syrup. I also feel like if you introduced aunt 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:19.400 Jemima today, but you and you go back with the old, 0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:22.159 uh slave woman look that they had up until a 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:24.760 couple of years ago. Remember they changed the look of Angela. 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:29.600 It was kind of an old timey mammy, early twentieth century. Yeah, 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:32.760 but I think I think if you introduced it today 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:36.760 and presented the story as this is trying to show 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:41.760 that black women who worked for white families contributed. Also, 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:46.040 here's someone who's recipe for syrup was so loved it 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:49.200 was stolen and appropriated and used all over Southern America, 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:52.400 became a national brand. Right if you spun it like that, 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:55.080 you could make a hero. It's a positive thing to 0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:58.640 spin syrup. Well, no, I'm yeah, Ultimately, I say, well, 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:00.240 my whole point is, I don't think it has any 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:03.760 impact on anybody at all. I don't believe it is 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.480 a symbol of racism or rain. I don't think it's anything. 0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:09.639 I don't think it has any impact any more than 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:14.560 the than the what was the ivory soap baby contributed 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:17.320 to attitudes toward infants? I don't know. I just these 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:21.280 brand names are lucky Charms is contributed to racism against 0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:25.080 my people, the Irish anyway, um, so like, but I'm 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:27.720 not certain about that. But I just feel like it 0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:31.280 did not cause me to have any negative feelings about 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:35.080 Black America in any way, having drank drank bottles of 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:38.240 and Jemima's ear throughout my life on the statue things. 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:40.439 So they just took down a one hundred and thirty 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:43.640 six year old of Christopher Columbus statue in a park 0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:47.640 in St. Louis. It's been there a very long time. Um. 0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:52.400 It was originally put up to honor contributions of immigrants 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:55.080 in America, which is something we're supposed to be doing, 0:21:55.240 --> 0:22:02.880 not white ones. Um. I guess Portuguese is stupid Portuguese. 0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:06.120 My only problem with this I think, well, for if 0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:10.400 anybody's ever listened on Columbus Day, you know it's right. 0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:12.440 It's the whole Columbus thing. I don't care about at all. 0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:15.840 It doesn't I think it's a completely different sort of 0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:18.960 thing than the Confederate thing, and certainly a different sort 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:24.159 of thing than taken down Thomas Jefferson. But but just 0:22:24.280 --> 0:22:26.760 in general, the thing that bothers me the most is 0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:31.720 it's being decided by mobs. That's not the way we 0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:36.040 should decide these things. Mobs shouldn't decide what's up in 0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:40.160 the park. I would like there to be a movement 0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:43.640 toward you hate the statue, you think it's gonna come down. 0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:47.000 Let's let's let's get petitions signed, Let's go to city 0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.119 council meetings, let's get it on the ballot for the 0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:51.879 next election and get it removed. And you might easily 0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:54.680 have enough support in your community to have the statue 0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:58.880 taken down. That way of doing it fine, But mobs 0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:02.959 deciding what acts or statues get to be is definitely 0:23:03.000 --> 0:23:04.880 no way to run a country. And that's the way 0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:07.800 it's going right now. The mobs didn't bring the statue down, 0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:10.080 but they had defaced it and spray painted it so 0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:13.639 many times. The park finally said, we just can't afford 0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:16.400 to provide enough security to keep this from being to face. 0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:19.560 It's like the Heckler's veto Yeah, they're afraid at this 0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:22.320 point as it is, old enough and carved by some 0:23:22.400 --> 0:23:27.000 famous carver of statues that it is an artifact and 0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:29.840 actual work of art. They decided we got to move 0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:32.560 it into a museum to protect it. But the mob 0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:36.120 should not decide I stay something what comes down. Well, 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:38.679 I agree with you wholeheartedly. I almost hate saying it 0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:42.639 out loud. Not that like the Antifa maniacs are listening 0:23:42.680 --> 0:23:46.280
