00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: I got a bad month in the market. I got

5
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: to tell you, I got spooked by the war, took

6
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: all my money out and put it in party supplies.

7
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: For Caesar Chavez Day, everything is named after him. Parks, library, schools.

8
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 2: You know they want to rename the libraries for sure,

9
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: because you know, we cannot have library for a child

10
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: in molester. My gods, that's where homeless go to look

11
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 2: at internet porn.

12
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: I saw someplace in the Bay Area where they there.

13
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 3: Was some like marble steps some park lead up to

14
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: a fountain that said Caesar Chavez on it, and they

15
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 3: were there with cement.

16
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: Pasting over the Caesar Chavez.

17
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 4: Letters that were carved into the marble to try to

18
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 4: make sure nobody saw that came across this and maybe

19
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 4: you get into it later, maybe not. But from Reason

20
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 4: dot com decades before the left through Caesar Chevez under

21
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 4: the bus for being a sexual predator. Reason magazine at

22
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 4: the time exposed him as a taxpayer grifter and thief

23
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 4: who stole from his own members. The great Nick Gillespie reminds.

24
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: Us here's one.

25
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 4: But if the left lionizes you, your sins don't matter anymore.

26
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 4: You're just a symbol.

27
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: Whether it's BLM, the Tea Party movement for a bunch

28
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 3: of the organizations, or Caesar Chavez, the people at the

29
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 3: top of these things often make out very well.

30
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 4: It goes from a cause to a business to a grift,

31
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 4: as they say.

32
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 3: Just since Caesar Chavez came out and his awfulness, one

33
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 3: of Bill Cosby's rape accusers was awarded nineteen million dollars

34
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: in a.

35
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: Civil trial yesterday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

36
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: I have no idea if the Cosby's estate has the

37
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: kind of money to pay or anything, but that's a

38
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 3: lot of money coming up. I want to get a

39
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 3: little to a little bit of the economic polling. If

40
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 3: Trump really really is hurting in the midterms, it ain't

41
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 3: gonna be the war. It's going to be people's feelings

42
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 3: about affordability. I think, man, the polling is horrible on

43
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 3: the economy right now.

44
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: So more on that later.

45
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: This story is not important at all, but I thought

46
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: it was darn interesting. I don't know the restaurant Zaia

47
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles. It's supposed to be a very trendy

48
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: downtown Los Angeles restaurant, and these women are all wearing

49
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 3: like spring skirts and strappy shoes sort of thing. They

50
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 3: were finishing brunch on Sunday when the check came and

51
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 3: a fight broke out over who would pick up the

52
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 3: check at this nice restaurant as they're all dressed up.

53
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: And then it's at some point somebody whipped out one

54
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: of a knife, like from the table.

55
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: Somebody else snatched a bottle and.

56
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 4: Broke it like classic hoof, and they went to stab

57
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 4: in each other. The crazed diners then cut each other

58
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 4: to pieces. Two women were arrested for assault with a

59
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 4: deadly weapon. This twenty nine year old woman and twenty

60
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 4: six year old woman were taken into custody. A couple

61
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 4: of them went to the hospital. So here's the check.

62
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: I'll get it.

63
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, I'll get it, or I don't

64
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 3: know if it went the other direction, you get it,

65
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 3: you get it.

66
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 4: But no, you ordered champagne. We're not dividing it up evenly.

67
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 4: You're a tight wad who.

68
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: Knows got how was at a meal?

69
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: Not too long ago where somebody did that, I'll order

70
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 3: something for the table and then at the end of

71
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: the meal they weren't the ones that paid for it.

72
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: You can't order something for the table if you ain't

73
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: paying for it.

74
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: You just can't.

75
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 4: You can't do that.

76
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: Mm yeah, bad form, definitely.

77
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: M I guess we got some more Iran analysis coming

78
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: up a little. By the way, news is continuing to

79
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 3: break on that, Yes, Katie.

80
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 5: Oh no, I just I got put into a situation

81
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 5: where it was a dinner party and Drew and I

82
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 5: showed up and we both didn't have anything to drink,

83
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 5: and we split a meal because we both had already eaten.

84
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: We were just kind of showing up to be there.

85
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: Bill comes.

86
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 5: They decided to just split it all fourteen ways, right,

87
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 5: And then that puts you in a weird situation because

88
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 5: if you say something then you're kind of an a hole.

89
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: My favorite example of that for me was it was

90
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 3: just four of us, two couples. Dude, because he is

91
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: a big swinger man, he ordered a two hundred and

92
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 3: fifty dollars bottle of wine. This was many years ago,

93
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 3: so this would be like a four hundred dollars bottle

94
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 3: of wine now four dollar bottle of wine for the

95
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 3: pable and then and at the end said we'll just

96
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: split it four ways. Hey, I didn't choose to order

97
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 3: a four hundred dollars bottle of wine, right, I never

98
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 3: would order a four hundred dollars bottle line you did.

99
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: And then you want to split it four ways? Yes?

100
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 5: What these chicks throw back like fifteen dollars espresso martinis,

101
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 5: one after you know the other, and I'm going, oh boy,

102
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 5: and then we all ended up paying for it.

103
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 4: But the flex doesn't work on people like me. I

104
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 4: don't think you're cool and rich and more powerful than

105
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 4: me because you drink four dollar wine. I think you're

106
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 4: freaking moron. So the flex doesn't work on me.

107
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: I think you're an idiot. Katie, did you want to

108
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: stab those people a little bit? Were you stabbing mad?

109
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: I was? I was a little stabby.

110
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 4: I was stabbing mad when the four dollar bottle of

111
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 4: line thing happened? So well, what happened when on the

112
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 4: girl's side, when you make them pay four ways? That's

113
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 4: not a flex.

114
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: For that. Yeah, right, your flex is you picked it up.

115
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: That's the flex. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a different flex.

116
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: I get the stab in Now I got you too,

117
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: fully understand it. I'm on board. Probably should have thrown in.

118
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 4: A beaten yeah all right, well yeah, yeah, okay, all right. Interesting,

119
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 4: I'm looking at the article. Interesting, all right. National Review

120
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 4: has got a good piece out if you want to

121
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 4: read this sort of thing and you're into it al

122
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 4: Gore's false prophecy where they do a good rundown.

123
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: It's a twenty year anniversary.

124
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 3: Did you know that next month twenty years ago Al

125
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: Gore came up with the greatest idea of his life,

126
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: becoming a climate change warrior, and he put out the

127
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 3: movie and book and Inconvenient Truth, and National Review goes

128
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 3: through all the dire predictions that have not come true,

129
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 3: and in fact, in many cases it's gone the other direction.

130
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 4: There's more more polar bears now than there used to be.

131
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 4: For instance, Yes, please, yeah.

132
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: Al Gore.

133
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 4: I just admire it, the boldness of it, and how

134
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 4: thoroughly was the og climate scammer who got He convinced

135
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 4: millions of people who helped convince each other, because you know,

136
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 4: the lefts need to be doing the right thing, being

137
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 4: on the right side of history.

138
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: Hey, can we go through some of these facts here.

139
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: You're a bigot or of you know, a conservative. I

140
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: finish science? Did I hate you? I just want to

141
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: look at the data.

142
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 3: By the way, this is written by a guy in

143
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: the National Review, which is a conservative publication. If you

144
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 3: don't know that, written by guy who believes in climate

145
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 3: change and believes it is man made. He just doesn't

146
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 3: believe any of the stuff we're doing is making any difference.

147
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 3: Bull And it's pointing out that the sixteen trillion dollars

148
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: the planet has spent so far on trying to fight

149
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 3: climate change didn't do anything. Yeah, and a lot of

150
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: the bad results never happened.

151
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 4: Al Gore painted a picture of a world besieged by floods, drought, storms, wildfires,

152
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 4: with humanity on the brink of extinction.

153
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: And none of those things have happened. Yeah, are we

154
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: going to go through that? We could? I would applying

155
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: to but we could.

156
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 4: I love that stuff we're discussing a little while ago.

157
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 4: That government, in my opinion, ranges from a complete scam

158
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 4: like the money spent on bums and junkies or the

159
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 4: bullet train in California, to like a mob boss that

160
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 4: does what they say they're gonna do. But they skim

161
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 4: twenty percent. That's just the way they do business, and

162
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 4: you expect that. But the climate change thing is a

163
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 4: perfect example of that. Yes, the climate is changing. Yes,

164
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 4: man has played.

165
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: A role in it. How do we exploit that.

166
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 4: And throw zillions of dollars at it and keep a

167
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 4: chunk and give it to our cronies in return for

168
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:13,679
Speaker 4: their support.

169
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: That is the actual analysis.

170
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 4: Every time there is a challenge faced by a nation

171
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 4: or its people or its government, that's.

172
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: What they talk about. That's what government is.

173
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 4: You gotta wake up to that as well as Washington,

174
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 4: you know, allegedly said it's a like fire, a fabulous servant,

175
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 4: but a terrifying master. That's why you got to stay

176
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 4: on top of government with both your fists.

177
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: Ready.

178
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 3: Did rama Manuel invent the phrase never let a crisis

179
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 3: go to waste? Or did he just become famous for

180
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 3: it in the chief of Staff for Barack Obama? But

181
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 3: that does seem to be the role of government. We

182
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 3: have a crisis, How can we turn this into a

183
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: whole bunch of money?

184
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah, one hundred percent. No, he didn't invent that.

185
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 4: I think maybe he summarized it nicely.

186
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: But certainly the idea of it he didn't invent. I'm

187
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 3: sure it goes back to the Greeks.

188
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I wonder. I don't know how taxes worked

189
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 4: to go back in the Greek days, but.

190
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: He certainly could.

191
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 3: I suppose people have always rallied their supporters around some

192
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: sort of crisis to turn it into more power or money.

193
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 4: My hero Henry Lewis Mankin hl Menkin wrote this in

194
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 4: the twenties.

195
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: I think it's in the early part of the twentieth century.

196
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 4: The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the

197
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 4: populace alarmed and hence clamorous, to be led to safety

198
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 4: by an endless series of hobgoblins. Hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.

199
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 4: That's the whole aim of politics. Occasionally we get them

200
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 4: to do something we want them to do, but it

201
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 4: ain't the other way around.

202
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: Fools. I'm not calling you fools, we're friends.

203
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 3: But then if you have a real one, like nine

204
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 3: to eleven terrorism, COVID was real, climate change is it's

205
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: getting warmer, just not enough for me to care. But

206
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 3: then you then you really got some ammo to get

207
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: people to do all kinds of stuff.

208
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, sell your Parka, buy some shorts.

209
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: There are more polar.

210
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 3: Bears, less hurricanes, There's a long list of those sorts

211
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 3: of things, Fewer wildfires.

212
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 4: Right, can't swing a dead polar bear without hitting another

213
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 4: polar bear that ain't dead.

214
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 3: I would like to know how much money did al

215
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 3: Gore personally make.

216
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: Off of that.

217
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 4: I've seen that figure estimated. It's it's tens of millions

218
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 4: of dollars. So he hundreds of millions at this point

219
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 4: because he led the the frightening us with a hobgoblin

220
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 4: thank you, hl Menkin, and then he invested in all

221
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 4: of the beneficiaries of those policies, meanwhile lobbying his many

222
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 4: many good close friends and supporters in Washington, d C.

223
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: And other capitals for that matter. Just throw money at it.

224
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 4: Pretty clever. Oh yeah, Like I said, I just admire it.

225
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 4: It's it's horrific on one level, but it's incredibly smart.

226
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 4: If he asks you to give him a massage, he's

227
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 4: expecting a little, uh, a little more than the normal massage.

228
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: Just going there knowing that. Just be aware, yeah, just

229
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: be ready. Okay, we got more news of the day

230
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: on the waist. They here.

231
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 6: A massive recall of popular frozen foods from Trader Joe's

232
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 6: now expanding. A new FDA memo shows nearly ten million

233
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 6: pounds of the vegetable fried rice may contain glass and

234
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 6: are being pulled from shelves in dozens of states.

235
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 3: Oh you don't. You don't want glass in your fried rice?

236
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 3: Oh okay, we miss her, so picky, we we we

237
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 3: thought you did, so sorry about that. That's a heck

238
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 3: of a recall. There's glass in the in the fried rice.

239
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: Okay.

240
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 3: Coming up, it looks like they're gonna take a shot

241
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 3: at trying to get the UN Security Council to do

242
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 3: something about the straight of horror moves. Bunch of country

243
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 3: signing on to that, including the United States. See where

244
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 3: that goes.

245
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: I forgot the un existed? Yeah, no kidding anyway.

246
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 4: Also coming up, and this is straight out of one

247
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 4: of the Sherlock's Home Sherlock Holmes mysteries.

248
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: Dead people drug overdose.

249
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 4: Found with no drugs, no paraphernalia, just a little burt

250
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 4: paper next to them. What's going on there? And it

251
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 4: happens to be a bunch of inmates. Really interesting story,

252
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 4: just crazy. Stay with us later on in the show.

253
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 4: You know, I finally came across the the obituary of

254
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 4: Chuck Norris that I was looking for because I'm not

255
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 4: much into action movies and I'd forgot and exactly idea

256
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 4: Walker Texas Ranger. I remember, and he was in the

257
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 4: Bruce Lee movie. But so this not only includes his

258
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 4: credits in a way that was helpful to me, but

259
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 4: also some unbelievably interesting stuff about the man.

260
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 3: I don't think I ever saw Bruce or saw him

261
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 3: Chuck Norris in anything.

262
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: I just know about the jokes gosh I have, but

263
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: not much.

264
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 4: But anyway, he passed away in the quote his family,

265
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 4: of course and blah blah blah privacy. Unlike some other

266
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 4: actors who boasted their fighting prowess, Norris was the real deal,

267
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 4: a holder of black belts and such disciplines as.

268
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: Carrat a tang sudo.

269
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 4: I wouldn't know that if somebody brought me to the

270
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 4: ground with it and taekwondo, and he trained with Bruce

271
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 4: Lee and battled him in the Way of the Dragon

272
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 4: in nineteen seventy two. On screen, he often portrayed loners,

273
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 4: and like one of his heroes, John Wayne, he would

274
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 4: only resort to violence when there was no other choice.

275
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 4: It was his personal code.

276
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: Of course.

277
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 4: He was encouraged by Steve McQueen to become an actor.

278
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 4: He had given McQueen private karate lessons for several years,

279
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 4: and he had his breakthrough.

280
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: In Lone Wolf McQuaid.

281
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 4: In nineteen eighty three, playing a Texas ranger who faces

282
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 4: off against David Grodine arms dealer.

283
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: I think I did see that, yeah.

284
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 4: Then he signed a movie contract starred as Colonel James Braddock,

285
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 4: a former pow who returns to Vietnam to rescue capture

286
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 4: soldiers in Missing in Action in nineteen eighty four. Though

287
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 4: the film was blasted by critics, it was beloved by audiences,

288
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 4: spawning a couple of prequels and sequels. Chuck quotes Steve

289
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 4: McQueen saying, Look, the critics can praise you to the

290
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 4: end of the world, but if your movie makes two dollars,

291
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 4: you're not gonna work. So the thing is, as long

292
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 4: as people come and see your movies, you're gonna keep

293
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 4: working no matter what the critics say. So when I

294
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 4: got crucified by the critics, I tried to keep that

295
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 4: in mind. He then continued his hot streak with Code

296
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 4: of Silence Invasion USA, Firewalker, and the Delta Force, which

297
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 4: then had a sequel a few years later. I never

298
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 4: saw any of those, but I'm aware of them. Then

299
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 4: there was Walker, Texas Ranger that debuted in April of

300
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 4: ninety three, ran for nine seasons in about two hundred episodes,

301
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 4: plus a two thousand and five TV movie.

302
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: Let's See Then. He was a Texas Ranger who had

303
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: kung food chopped people now and.

304
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 4: Then when it would, only when it was necessary, only

305
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 4: when that was the last resort. The oldest of three boys,

306
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 4: Carlos Ray Norris, was born in nineteen forty in Oklahoma,

307
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 4: not far from the Texas border. His father was a

308
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 4: mechanic and a trucker. His mom did a jobs to

309
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 4: help the family get by. He's half Irish and half

310
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 4: Native American. His father had a drinking problem often left

311
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 4: a family for long stretches. So he found his male

312
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 4: role models in John Wayne, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers

313
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 4: at the movies, and he said, and I quote, I

314
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 4: determined that I would grow up one day to be

315
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 4: like them. Their behavior in the films was governed by

316
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 4: the Code of the West, loyalty, friendship, and integrity. They

317
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 4: were unselfish and did what was right even when the

318
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 4: risk was great. Years later, I would recall those Western

319
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 4: heroes when I developed the kind of character I wanted

320
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 4: to play as an actor. But he says they influenced

321
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 4: him as a human being much more than as an actor.

322
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: He decided he would live by the codes.

323
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 4: He saw on the movie screen, and by all accounts,

324
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 4: he did an incredibly honorable guy.

325
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 3: You know, this is perfect for where we are in

326
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 3: the air. Chuck Norris's calendar goes straight from March thirty

327
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 3: first to April second. No one fools Chuck Norris. Chuck

328
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 3: Norris can strangle you at the cordless phone.

329
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow.

330
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 3: And when the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he

331
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 3: checks his closet for Chuck Norris.

332
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: Perfect. Chuck Norris doesn't listen to Armstrong and Geddy. Armstrong

333
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: and Geddy, listen to Chuck Norris.

334
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 4: And he said, when you're fighting good against evil, when

335
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 4: the good guys are taking on the bad guys and winning,

336
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 4: I think that's good. It's not ugly violence, it's ness's violence. Unfortunately,

337
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 4: in our society it's not always the case. Be a

338
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 4: nice to be able to do movies where people say

339
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 4: this is what should happen, this is the way it

340
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 4: should be in real life.

341
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:09,959
Speaker 1: That's why I think I was so successful.

342
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 3: Chuck Norris can Slammer evolving door for instance. We've got

343
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 3: more on the Warner Rand, Stay Tooed.

344
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.

345
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 7: The attack was on a fleet of ambulances. They belonged

346
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 7: to hut Soolo, which is a volunteer led ambulance service.

347
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 7: It's actually run by this Jewish community now. Security footage

348
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 7: caught three people in hoods pouring accelerant on the vehicles

349
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 7: before igniting them and fleeing. Oxygen cylinders inside exploded. No

350
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 7: one was hurt. A largely unknown is Limis group Parracotta

351
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,479
Speaker 7: Saabel you mean, claimed the responsibility on social media, but

352
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 7: police have not yet confirmed the authenticity of their claim.

353
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 7: That same group claimed responsibility for three other attacks in

354
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 7: Europe in March alone. The Jewish community in London is

355
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 7: relatively small, about one hundred and fifty thousand people in

356
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 7: the last year there and over a thousand anti Semitic

357
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 7: hate crimes reported to police.

358
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 3: Wow, Islamis blew up a bunch of ambulances in London.

359
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 3: That is what globalizing the Intafada means Mayor Mumdanni.

360
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, no kidding, he knows that Free press with a

361
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 4: great piece the terrorizing of British Jews. Britain keeps saying

362
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 4: anti Semitism has no place here. Britain keeps being wrong.

363
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 3: Did you see that video? I think I posted it

364
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 3: through the group. It's got too much nasty language in it.

365
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 3: I think for us to run on the radio anyway,

366
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 3: it's this woman says, says, let's play a game. I'm

367
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 3: going to read a quote or show you a tweet

368
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 3: and you tell me whether it's Nick Fuentes or mayor

369
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 3: Mumdanni's wife. Wow, And they're all missus Mumdanni. But they

370
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 3: sound like the sort of thing that you'd expect out of,

371
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 3: you know, Hitler want to be Nick Fuentes, who gets,

372
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 3: you know, beating up in the media all the time

373
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 3: because he's had dinner with Trump or whatever. But Donnie's

374
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 3: wife said all these horrifying quotes about Jews.

375
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: And all that's right. Yeah, yeah, you know this. This

376
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: will just take a minute.

377
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 4: I got this ready to talk about something slightly well,

378
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 4: it's on the same topic.

379
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: More or less agree or disagree.

380
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 4: This is the late Christopher Hitchens, who did a worldwide

381
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 4: tour where he would who is the scholar who he

382
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 4: often debated about the existence of God or religion?

383
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 1: Oh boy, there was quite a few of them.

384
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, there are a couple of heavyweights. You're more

385
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 4: acquainted with this than I am. But anyway, and the

386
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 4: more I think about it, it was incredibly brave what

387
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 4: he did. Whether you agree with them or disagree with him,

388
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 4: I think, ironically this is Hitchins in London at one

389
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 4: of those debates.

390
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 5: Thirteen Michael, as a simpie Muslim, I'm very ruffled by

391
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 5: the title of your book.

392
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 6: Did you have to settle it for the literal negation

393
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 6: of a yes?

394
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: I thought you, thank you, thank you.

395
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 8: At the moment, it's very clear to me the most

396
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 8: toxic form that religion takes is the Islamic form, the

397
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 8: horrible idea of wanting to end up with Sharrya the

398
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 8: state of religious law and the best needs of getting

399
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 8: there is jihad, holy war. And that Muslims have a

400
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 8: special right to feel aggrieved enough to demand this I

401
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 8: think is an absolute obscene wickedness, and I think their

402
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 8: religion is nonsense. God speaks to some illiterate merchant warlord

403
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 8: in Arabia. And it contains the answers to all him

404
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 8: don't don't waste my time.

405
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: But you're the same about it.

406
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 8: Also that God, that God speaks the occasion of Gabriel

407
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 8: speaks any Arabic. All religions claim to be revealed truth,

408
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 8: and Islam dangerously says ours is the last and final one.

409
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 8: There can't be any more after this. This is God's

410
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 8: last word. Now that's straight away temptation to violence and intolerance.

411
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 8: And if you note it's a temptation, they seem quite

412
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 8: willing to full forth. Every Alah reminds people that were

413
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 8: in a very serious struggle.

414
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: We're very depraved religion. I wish he didn't smoke. Christopher

415
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: Richins could have used his voice. Now, yeah, yep.

416
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 3: So the Iranians are is Lomists, you see part of

417
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 3: the deal. And we're dealing with that right now, or

418
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 3: Trump's time to deal with that. Bachrain just put out

419
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 3: a UN backed anction for getting the straight of horn

420
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 3: moves open. Bachrain came up with a draft for the

421
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 3: UN Security Council resolution that would authorize countries to use

422
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 3: all necessary means, which means of course, force to protect

423
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 3: commercial shipping in and around the Straight of Horn moves.

424
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 3: That's according to a text seen by Reuters Today. Diplomat

425
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 3: said the draft text was backed by other Gulf Arab

426
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 3: states and the United States, although they said it was

427
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: unlikely to get through the Security Council. Why because permanent

428
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 3: members of the Security Council include Russia and China who

429
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 3: have veto power.

430
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: Do you mean they don't just do the right thing

431
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: in the Security Council?

432
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 3: But at least, but at least it will force Rush

433
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 3: in China vote against it, and I don't know, to

434
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: my mind, at least point out two more people.

435
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: How stupid the UNN UN?

436
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly, it's I mean, I guess I sort of

437
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 4: kind of get how that might be useful in diplomatic circles.

438
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 4: But it reminds me of the time for your birthday,

439
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 4: years and years and years ago, I got the American

440
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 4: Pork Council to name their Men of the Year or

441
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 4: something like that. There's a sigment, there's a certificate, and

442
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 4: it really God, that was years ago. I think that

443
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 4: had about as much weight as that the UN declaration

444
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 4: would have, which they're not even.

445
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: Gonna get I don't know.

446
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 4: I think it's a pretty big deal that all the

447
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 4: Gulf Arab states joining with the United States, Yes, against Iran.

448
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 4: That is that has never happened before. Yeah, standing up

449
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 4: and raising their hands. You're absolutely right. So we'll see

450
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 4: how that turns out.

451
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 3: I was just looking at the political reporting on the

452
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 3: you know, the who's the administration negotiate negotiation with that

453
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: whole question, and they're talking about one particular person. I

454
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 3: don't remember what the name was. It doesn't really make

455
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 3: any difference. He's a hot option, one administration official said,

456
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 3: cautioning that no decisions have been made. He's one of

457
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 3: the highest but we've got to test him because we

458
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 3: can't rush into it to see if he actually speaks

459
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 3: for the regime, which I think is interesting. Soe you

460
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 3: negotiate with somebody and then kind of wait and see

461
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 3: does he actually have any oof behind him?

462
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, any skilled negotiator knows you've got to make

463
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 4: sure you're talking to the decision maker or somebody who

464
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 4: at least is tied to the decision maker.

465
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: Otherwise you're wasting your time. And man, that's a real conundrum, right.

466
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 3: And another quote from an administration official that Politico had.

467
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 3: It's all about installing someone like ro Rodriguez down in

468
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 3: Venezuela that we can say, Okay, we're gonna keep you here,

469
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 3: we're gonna not take you out. You're gonna work with this,

470
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 3: You're gonna give us a good deal, and we'll go

471
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 3: forward from there. So putting somebody you know in charge

472
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 3: that says, yeah, not going to get a new glu

473
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 3: up and not going to attack your basis not going

474
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 3: to attack Israel. I don't know if that'll work though,

475
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 3: what's her name done? In Venezuela isn't surrounded by people

476
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 3: that you know for religious regions reasons, Like Christopher.

477
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: Hitchins was just explaining, feel like she needs to die

478
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: right yeah.

479
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 4: And there are some pretty dangerous armed militias and drug

480
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 4: cartel type organizations in Venezuela, but it's nothing like Iran

481
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 4: that has this multi polar power structure, and it's very

482
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 4: mysterious and knowing he knows quite who's in charge, because

483
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 4: you know, you you might negotiate with some like the

484
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 4: top civilian guy who's alive right now and he's got

485
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 4: the army with him, but he doesn't have the IRGC

486
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 4: and They're like, no, we're not going along with that.

487
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 4: So what's the US to do? What are the Gulf

488
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 4: States to do in that situation? Keep bombing our little

489
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 4: hearts out? Is that what the President says?

490
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: Right?

491
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 3: And then meanwhile, we've got all of those marines and

492
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 3: airborne rangers and everybody either in the in the area

493
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 3: of the Middle East or headed there, and Trump very

494
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 3: likely to pull the trigger on some sort of ground

495
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: invasion of the Straight of Horror moves. Heck of a thing, man,

496
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 3: when that goes down. Came across this on the Twitter machine.

497
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 3: Why on all my tabs do some of them have

498
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 3: the little bluebird and.

499
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: Some of them have the X? I have no idea.

500
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, anyway, let's see the deadline for that Trump set

501
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 4: for Iran to open the Straight of Horror moves.

502
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: The five days is Friday.

503
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 4: The twenty two hundred marines plus all of their heavyweight

504
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 4: gear of the thirty first Marine Expeditionary Unit arrive in

505
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 4: Sentcom on Friday. The USS Tripoli and the USS New

506
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 4: Orleans also dock the same day. None of this is subtle.

507
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 4: A deadline without consequence is just a request. A deadline

508
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 4: with twenty two hundred marines on amphibious assault ships arriving

509
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 4: the same morning is a different kind of communication entirely, And.

510
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 3: From what I understand listen to one military expert, they

511
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 3: are they are ready to go at a moment's notice.

512
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's what they are, so they will

513
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 3: be there. And Trump could say, okay now, and it

514
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 3: is literally now, they can do it now, that's what

515
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 3: they train.

516
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: Give us an hour. Yeah if that, But back to this,

517
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: and y'all always have to come back to this standard. Negotiating.

518
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 4: Even threats land differently when you're dealing with religious fanatics,

519
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 4: particularly of a certain bent of Shia Islam that are

520
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 4: are something like deaf cultists. I mean they they when

521
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 4: when the twelfth money comes? Is it? And I'm no theologian,

522
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 4: but the culmination of God's will will be armageddon. That's

523
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 4: good if that comes. How do you negotiate with somebody

524
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 4: like that, Hey, we'll kill you, That's fine, go ahead.

525
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 3: On the other hand, threats land differently when they're from Trump,

526
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 3: because you can imagine him doing practically anything.

527
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: Yes, short of nuclear war, barely barely.

528
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 3: And I mean even if he did that, I wouldn't

529
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 3: be completely surprised.

530
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: Oh boy, sickening thought. But yeah, I hear you.

531
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 4: I wish we could. You know, we had an emailer

532
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 4: suggest a number of days ago, why aren't we dropping

533
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 4: palettes of weapons small arms in the areas that are

534
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 4: most anti regime. Fifteen thousand guys with rifles who've had

535
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 4: enough because their husband got their wife got killed, or

536
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 4: their brother got killed, or their dad got killed, or

537
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 4: their little brother or whatever, are ready to go out

538
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 4: in a.

539
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: Blaze of glory. I'm sure that you'd have a question.

540
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 4: You'd probably have to earn five million of them, honestly,

541
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 4: but yeah, I'm sure there's an answer that question.

542
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is though, coming up at

543
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: some point.

544
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 3: There was a stunning twist in the Google Metal Meta

545
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 3: trial that's been going on in Los Angeles for several weeks.

546
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 3: Now that is the big one that is going to

547
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 3: lead the way forward for suing these social media companies,

548
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 3: depending on how it turns out. So we'll get to

549
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 3: that stunning twist.

550
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 4: And hard drugs are about to change completely in a

551
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 4: way that it will be impossible to control.

552
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 1: Wow, I haven't heard this story.

553
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 3: It's absolutely stunning. With a couple of teenage boys I'm raising.

554
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 3: I'm highly interested in that. Okay, lots on the way,

555
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 3: stay here.

556
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 2: Minnesota is proposing a grandparents Happy Hour bill that would

557
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 2: let senior homes serve alcohol without a permit.

558
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: Oh I like that. Student bouncers are gonna be like,

559
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. You don't look eighty four. That's pretty funny. Yeah, don't, don't, don't, don't.

560
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: Don't be taken away my scotch.

561
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 4: All right, you want cooperation, give me muscatch So, speaking

562
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 4: of changing your brain chemistry, this is unbelievable. This is

563
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 4: a shocking, shocking story. First of all, it's as if

564
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 4: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, or one of the modern day

565
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 4: incarnations one of the good ones of Sherlock Holmes, wrote this.

566
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 4: The body lay slumped on a jail floor. Investigators found

567
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 4: no evidence of homicide, just a few scraps of rolled

568
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 4: up paper singed and scattered on the floor like scorched confetti.

569
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 4: For months, inmates had been falling ill at the Cook

570
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 4: County Jail in Chicago. Officials said they heard rumors about

571
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 4: extremely toxic drugs. Infiltrating the facility, delivered on something so

572
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 4: ordinary that it seemed impossible to stop. Then when the

573
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 4: body appeared, something just clicked, said the head investigator at

574
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 4: the jail, whose name is Justin Wilts. The paper itself

575
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 4: must be the culprit, and it was deadly. More does

576
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 4: soon followed. The next month, February twenty three, another inmate

577
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 4: died from smoking paper laced with mysterious new drugs.

578
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: In April another one.

579
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 4: People were dying so fast, said mister Wilkes, but one

580
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 4: of officials that the jail told their law enforcement colleagues

581
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,959
Speaker 4: about it. They said some found it hard to believe.

582
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 4: By the end of the year, at least six people

583
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 4: had died of overdoses many many were sickened, putting the

584
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 4: jail at the vanguard of a new kind of drug

585
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 4: war rights in New York times, one in which extraordinarily

586
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 4: powerful drugs can be invented faster than the authorities can

587
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 4: identify them, and where something is ubiquitous as paper can

588
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 4: become lethal. The story is fringe chemists are ushering in

589
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 4: a total transformation of the illicit drug market. Operating from

590
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 4: clandestine labs, they are churning out a dizzying array of

591
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 4: synthetic drugs, not only fentanyl, but also hazardous new tranquilizers, stimulants,

592
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 4: and complex cannaboids. Sometimes several unknown drugs appear on the

593
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 4: streets in a single month. Many are so new they

594
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 4: are not even a legally yet. Nearly all of them

595
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 4: are harder to trace than conventional drugs, less expensive to produce,

596
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 4: much more potent, and far deadlier, according to scientists and

597
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 4: law enforcement around the globe. And the unbridled use of

598
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 4: synthetic drugs is as profound for the illicit drug market

599
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 4: as television was for radio, or the computer was for

600
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 4: the typewriter, scientists say, And it is confounding law enforcement

601
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 4: officials all over the world for a lot of obvious reasons.

602
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 4: A transport of them would be you could transport so

603
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 4: much of it without it'd be very hard to catch. Well, yeah,

604
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 4: you send an inmate to a book, a magazine, anything

605
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 4: like that, and he knows the pages are saturated with drugs,

606
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 4: smokes them. Wow, nearly impossible to stop. And the invent

607
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 4: new drugs faster than we can make them illegal.

608
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: Let's see right to this. Oh, I'm glad you you

609
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: asked that question.

610
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 4: To do drugs quote unquote is a completely different proposition

611
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 4: than it was and you know, everybody talks about the

612
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 4: sixties and seventies or whatever. The word has to be,

613
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 4: don't do drugs, don't do drugs at all, or only

614
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 4: do drugs that you know precisely what they are. And

615
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 4: anybody who does the other thing is a fool who

616
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 4: will die soon. That's got to be normalized in our society.

617
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 4: Like I don't know, you know, it's like don't drink

618
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 4: and drive times five. Yeah. I was actually listening to

619
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 4: a conversation about this sort of thing yesterday the Dispatch podcast.

620
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 4: They were talking about how much gambling there is. They

621
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 4: were using March Madness as.

622
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 3: A kickoff point for now gambling has exploded since we

623
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 3: legalized and then how many people's lives it ruin blah

624
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 3: blah blah. And the libertarian issue view is that you

625
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 3: just you got to have enough people lose it all,

626
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 3: and then society sees that and decides that's a bad

627
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 3: road to go down, and that that's the way things

628
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 3: work culturally with lots of different bad things for you,

629
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 3: and that might be the only way to do it,

630
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 3: but man, a lot of people got to lose.

631
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: Their kids before you get there. Exactly, that's exactly where

632
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: I was going to go.

633
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 4: The thing that bothers me, having read a lot about

634
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 4: the sports gambling thing, is that the main victims of

635
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 4: that are young males whose frontal cortex whatever, that part

636
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 4: of your brain that teaches you caution and risk management,

637
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 4: it's not fully mature in an eighteen to twenty two

638
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 4: year old male, except in very rare instances, which part

639
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 4: of the reason they're such good soldiers. So how strong

640
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 4: would a cultural norm have to be before an eighteen

641
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 4: year old with a love of thrills and very little

642
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 4: sense of caution? How strong did that norm have to

643
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 4: be before eighteen year olds wouldn't ruin their lives over

644
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 4: and over and over again. Yeah, with either you know,

645
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 4: drugs or gambling or whatever.

646
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: I don't know.

647
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 3: Why do we have so much of an appetite for

648
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 3: drugs than other countries If.

649
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: That what I just said is true, I don't know.

650
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. It Could be we're just so affluent.

651
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: Could be.

652
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, if you're busting your ass all day

653
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 4: long to feed yourself and you don't have much of

654
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 4: a welfare state.

655
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: You just what you're going to be dead immediately?

656
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 3: Or here's the question going to do it. Ai comes

657
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 3: along and nobody has to work. Will that lead to

658
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 3: more drug use or less? A hilarious question.

659
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 4: But yes, it's not even close. What would happen if

660
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 4: a monkey became too smart for its own good?

661
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,959
Speaker 1: I think we're there. Of course people have thought that before.

662
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 1: Here we are eight billion of us. You're not smart

663
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 1: enough to wear pants.

664
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 4: It was a metaphor because I meant human beings. What

665
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 4: if an ape became too smart for its own I'm

666
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 4: talking about humans. Please wear your pants, no matter what

667
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 4: breed of primate you are.

668
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: I lost the thread there and not talk. I know

669
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: you never mind. More News Hour three Stay with me,
