00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong in shoe Dy arm Strong

3
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: and Jetty and now he Armstrong and Jetty.

4
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 2: People never gave it out us until now when they

5
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: finally realize that the chain is being broke. Now cars

6
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: won't come in, food won't come in, clothing won't come in.

7
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 2: You know how many people depend on our jobs.

8
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 3: Half the world.

9
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: And it's time for them and time for Washington to

10
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: put so much pressure on them to take care.

11
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 3: Of us, because we took.

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: Care of them, and we're here one hundred and thirty

13
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: five years and brought tom where they are today.

14
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 3: And they don't want to share.

15
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: They don't want to share, says the guy who rides

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: around in a Bentley and has a seventy foot yacht,

17
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: lives in a two movie house, makes about a million

18
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: dollars a year, and so does his son. We're loving us.

19
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: Some herald j Daggett around here. The guys that's run

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: how much money he makes on the books? Yeah, that's

21
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: an excellent point. That's an excellent point. Why are they

22
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: why what would his entire package be, you know, on

23
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: paper for everyone to read. He's the president of the

24
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: International Longshoreman Association. Got the big strike going on tens

25
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: of thousands of workers the Gulf Coast and the East Coast,

26
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: costing our economy about five million dollars a day, but

27
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: it's going to grow over time. There are now sixty

28
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: some ships parked offshore like happened back during COVID, not

29
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: able to unload their Their main thing is all the

30
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: talk in the media is about the salary, because the

31
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: media is too stupid to ever look into anything. But

32
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: it's really about the automation. They're trying to fight the

33
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: ports from modernizing and coming up to speed with all

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: the other major reorts in the world.

35
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 4: Because exactly, it's not like we're leading the way. It's

36
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 4: like we're years behind, which.

37
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: A wildly inefficient I guess we got another clip of

38
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: our friend Daggett here in what he sounds like.

39
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 5: Sisters and brothers of the ISLA. I am disgusted to

40
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 5: hear the comment South Carolina Governor Henry mcmastus made in

41
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 5: his State of the State address in late January attacking

42
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 5: labor union in Ila and particularly who the hell does

43
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 5: he think he is? He is a disgrace to be

44
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 5: representing the citizens of South Carolina, especially my members from

45
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 5: the ISLA living and working there. His attacks on the

46
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 5: ISLA will not be ignored. ISLA members in the Port

47
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 5: of Jarson are among the best compensated workers in the

48
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 5: state of South Carolina, and that brins the hell out

49
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 5: of the governor. He sits in his all white private

50
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 5: country club, surrounded by his cronies, saying he'll go to

51
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 5: the gates of Hell to keep unions out. Well, let

52
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 5: me tell you he's gonna go to Hell. That's where

53
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 5: he's heading.

54
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, there's a lot there. I can't believe there

55
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: are whispers about mob ties with this guy. He doesn't

56
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: sound like a mobster in particularly.

57
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 4: Right, And a guy driving a Bentley worth many, many

58
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 4: millions of dollars with a seventy six foot yacht bitching

59
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 4: about a guy in a country club.

60
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: I mean, right, right, that's too much. It is something. Although,

61
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, I noticed they made the turn on

62
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 1: Fox from being kind of where we are right now.

63
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: Yesterday when I was watching Fox, he got a modern

64
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: I mean, the technology exists to do this faster and cheaper.

65
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: Of course, the companies are going to do it, just

66
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: like they have everywhere else in the world. We can't

67
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: fall behind China hanging on to, you know, outdated manpower

68
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: just because it's good for the worker. They made the

69
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: switch somehow. I don't know who complained or what, or

70
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: they noticed Trump's language or whatever, but today it was

71
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: way more. These are hard working people who deserve their

72
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: cut of the all the gazillions of dollars of these

73
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: shipping companies are making.

74
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 4: That's an interesting theory of labor. It doesn't square with

75
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 4: like all known economic truth. I mean, look, there's a

76
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 4: lot here. Number one, the economics of it. Your labor

77
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 4: is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

78
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 4: If you want to unionize, that's fine, that's legal. But

79
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 4: the idea that if you are a say you know,

80
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 4: a paper pusher for some company that makes enormous profits,

81
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 4: you therefore, as somebody with sixty thousand dollars worth of skills,

82
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 4: how to be making four hundred thousand dollars a year

83
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 4: just because your company is profitable, is it?

84
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: It ignores the realities of economics.

85
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 4: Your labor is worth what it's worth the point at

86
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 4: which somebody is willing to pay for your skills and

87
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 4: you are willing to sell your skills.

88
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: That's what your labor is worth. It just has always

89
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 1: been true, always will be true.

90
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 4: And so the union boss there is making some pretty,

91
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 4: you know, just silly arguments.

92
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: Well that's what doesn't work that way. Yeah, and that's great,

93
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: and on an individual basis, of course, that makes perfectly

94
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: good sense. I'm worried about the United States competing against

95
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: China and the rest of the world and being like

96
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: every uh, fading empire has been in history, where they

97
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: just try to hang on to the past and get

98
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: eclipsed by hungry or smarter, more nimble countries out there. Correct.

99
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's interesting, Getting back to your observation that Fox

100
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 4: News has changed its tune in the last twenty four hours,

101
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 4: that is really interesting. Predictably, old Joe Biden says now

102
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 4: is not the time for ocean carriers or refuse to

103
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 4: negotiate a fair wage for these essential workers while ranking

104
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 4: in record profits. So I guess a fifty percent wage

105
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 4: increase over the next six years is not a fair wage.

106
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 4: And a lot of these guys make a lot of

107
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 4: money for not even showing up. They get money whether

108
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 4: they work or not. And all the union bosses make

109
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 4: money for doing nothing or whatever. So yeah, the idea

110
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 4: that somehow a moral issue is hilarious to me. Now,

111
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 4: Don Trump interestingly saying American workers should be able to

112
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: negotiate for better wages, especially since the shipping companies are

113
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 4: mostly foreign flag vessels.

114
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: That's the he's the Republican candidate for president. He is.

115
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 4: Indeed, Yes, the reason most ocean carriers are foreign is

116
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 4: because union work rules haveered have rendered the US shipbuilding

117
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 4: and shipping industries uncompetitive globally. It's killed the American shipping

118
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 4: and shipbuilding industry, which is going to which is a

119
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 4: serious danger for our military preparedness. I would say as

120
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 4: an aside, but Jack and I were chatting during the

121
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 4: break about what is this? Is this the populisms, you know,

122
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 4: siding with the workers or what. I don't know.

123
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: It might be siding with.

124
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 4: The working man over the big corporation, or it might

125
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 4: be that Donald J. Trump, for the entirety of his career,

126
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 4: has been dealing with mob connected unions in New York City.

127
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 4: You can't get cement poured in New York City without

128
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 4: brushing up against somebody who knows somebody.

129
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: Forget about it, mob connected. How's the heck of a

130
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: thing to throw around? Are you saying, my man Daggett

131
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: might be tied into organized crime?

132
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 4: Well, the federal government certainly thinks so, and he's been acquitted.

133
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: What did he say there? And particularly in particularly? I

134
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: got some friends in particularly. How do you spell that anyway?

135
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: So I will you, I will cripple you. And you

136
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: have no idea what that means. Nobody does, he said

137
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: in an interview a couple of weeks ago, according to

138
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal, I will cripple you. And oh yeah,

139
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: Taft Hartley. That's where the President could step in and

140
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: use the Taft Hartly Act and say he got to

141
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: go back to work. There's a national economies at stake,

142
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: national securities at stake, So you got to go back

143
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: to work while we try to, you know, come to

144
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: an agreement. But Biden said he's not gonna do it.

145
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: But old Daggett said the other day, I'm putting Taft

146
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: Hardly on you. Go ahead. You know what Taft Hartly means.

147
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: I gotta go back to work. Oh yeah, you know

148
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. My guys who used to move thirty

149
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: Krate's gonna move eight crates, so they're gonna be like, oh,

150
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: and then he grabs his neck. They're gonna be like, oh,

151
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: my neck, hoots, I can't grab a crate now. So

152
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: he's just saying they're all gonna pretend to be hurt

153
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: if they do, if they enact the taft hard.

154
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 4: We're just a slow down a tome honored technique, we

155
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 4: will cripple you.

156
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

157
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 4: So this guy's been accused by the authorities of mob

158
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 4: ties several times, you know five. He stood trial in

159
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 4: Brooklyn on fraud charges alongside another ILA official and an

160
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 4: alleged mobster who is accused of steering union benefit contracts

161
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 4: to firms that paid kickbackstore crime witnessed. His witnesses testified

162
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 4: under oath that Daggett was elevated through the ILA because

163
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 4: the MO by the mob because he was an associate

164
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 4: of one of the big crime families. Daggett denied it.

165
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 4: He said, yea, he is afraid of the crime families.

166
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 4: He avoids them.

167
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: Seem pretty clear to me it's because he's a compelling orator.

168
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 5: Well, let me tell you he's gonna go to hell

169
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 5: Gotsch where he's heading.

170
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: The three defendants were acquitted.

171
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 4: Oddly, Lawrence Ricci, the defendant alleged to be a Genevie's

172
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 4: crime family member, went missing during the trial, disappeared mid trial,

173
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 4: and was later found partially decomposed in the trunk of

174
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 4: a car outside the Huck Finn Diner in Union, New Jersey.

175
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

176
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: That is absolutely unbelievable. And the point you made yesterday,

177
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: I think is important that they feel so untouchable. That

178
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: he's not trying to hide his wealth. He has a

179
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: giant yacht and rides around in a Bentley. That's not

180
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: you know, you're trying to hang onto the money and

181
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: just come off as a regular working class guy just

182
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: trying to make a living. No, you don't think anybody

183
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: can touch you when you're being that ostentatious with your lifestyle.

184
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 4: Guys, maybe we can actually find the audio of this.

185
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 4: This is my favorite Daggett quote. He was leaving the

186
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 4: cargo terminal in New Jersey the other morning and he

187
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 4: suggested that he and the ILA are digging in for

188
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 4: a lengthy showdown, and a reporter said, how.

189
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 1: Long do you think it's likely to last? And he said, I.

190
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 4: Don't have an f in crystal ball between my legs,

191
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 4: but it will last very long.

192
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: I would tell you that.

193
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 4: Efen crystal ball between my legs, and particularly not like

194
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 4: on a shelf er back at home, or why would

195
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 4: you keep a crystal ball between your legs? Do you

196
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 4: think Dagget himself has ever thrown a punch or swung

197
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 4: an axe handle in a over the years. He is

198
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 4: a very strong, tough looking old guy. It would not

199
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 4: shock me.

200
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: His language indicates he might be the sort of person

201
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: that at least has threatened, if not actually been the

202
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: the hammer.

203
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 4: That had had gold Lawrence Ricci, but he was found

204
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 4: partially decomposed in a trunk in particularly in particularly, we

205
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: will cripple you.

206
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: Oh my neck? You want to do taft hardly? Oh

207
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: my neck? This is not gonna help Kamala Harris a bit. Well,

208
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: that's that's my big thing is if this grows, and

209
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna grow fast. I mean you can feel the

210
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: heat getting turned up just three days in. What's it

211
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 1: gonna feel like a week or two from now, when

212
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: you got hundreds of ships parked off the coast. It's

213
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: on the evening news every single night. Candidates are gonna

214
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: have to take a real strong position one way or

215
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: the other, and I don't know how the public's gonna

216
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: react to it.

217
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, just for the record, I got nothing but sympathy

218
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 4: for people whose jobs and careers are vanishing because of

219
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 4: technical logical change. There's a hell of a lot of

220
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 4: us that describes and be more in the future. But

221
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 4: you can't cripple the economy anyway. Have you ever felt

222
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 4: a sense of unease when you leave home, wondering if

Speaker 4: There's no safe like simply Safe.

249
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: And once again quickly. One of the things they're arguing

250
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: for the Longshorreman is not replacing with modern technology people

251
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: that stand there with a clipboard making a lot of

252
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: money and writing down the license plates of the trucks

253
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: that come in. Right now, they have human beings do

254
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: it instead of have just a license plate reader that

255
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: you could get for very cheap and it'd be free

256
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: after that. Because they don't want to lose the workers. Well,

257
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: that's just you're just fighting against the ocean there the tide. Ironically,

258
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: they know it's the last deal they're going to get

259
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: before things really change, So I guess you swing for

260
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: the fences. Speaking of swing for the fences, I want

261
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: to mention a thing from the baseball playoffs. No, we

262
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: got a whole bunch of other stuff on the ways.

263
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: Stay here, you can't see this.

264
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 6: California just and as that they're banning sell buy and

265
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 6: best before food labels. Yeah, they prefer everyone to use

266
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 6: the more scientific method of going up to your spouse

267
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 6: and saying does this smell right to you?

268
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: And that's what I like to do it. So what's

269
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: what's the story on that? It seems like California would

270
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: be the opposite of that, they'd be more strict as

271
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: opposed to get rid of them. What's the story, Katie?

272
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 7: Well, so they're getting rid of the cell buy and

273
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 7: best before because they can be misleading, and they're going

274
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 7: they're going to be replaced by two different labels, one

275
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 7: best if used by, which will show when food is

276
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 7: at its best quality, okay, and then a used by

277
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 7: label to show when food is no longer safe to eat.

278
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a real leaf forward, right, just a

279
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 4: heads up.

280
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: It won't apply to eggs, beer and other malt drinks.

281
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't it? Okay? But I well, I don't know

282
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: how well you can nail down at what point something

283
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: becomes not safe to eat. The companies that make the

284
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: food mostly have an interest in making it seem like

285
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: you got to buy new all the time because they

286
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: stocked shelves. Yeah, and or your fridge. Yeah, so the

287
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: whole best buy, Like this cracker will taste better if

288
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: you eat it next week, but it's still be fine

289
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: in a month. I don't know what that is.

290
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 4: And if I'm drunk, it'll be even better. I mean

291
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 4: in another month it'll be fine. So sliding scale the goal.

292
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 7: The goal is to cut down on food waste, and

293
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 7: because it's California, reduce harmful emissions that contribute to climate change.

294
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: Oh jeez, with the climate change. You know, I knew

295
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: it would edit through it be ridiculous. Yeah, bringing back

296
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: once again, at risk of being punched in the face

297
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: the vice presidential debate the other night. Oh, I had

298
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: missed this too until I heard smarter commentators commenting on it,

299
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: So you got what's going on in North Carolina. And

300
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: the day of the debate was a particularly bad day

301
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: when we found out there were hundreds more people dead

302
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: than they realized and lots of people missing, and really

303
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: good reason to presume that they are dead. Also, I mean,

304
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: it's just a horrifying tragedy right in the midst of it,

305
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: and they bring it up, and they don't talk about

306
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: the government's response or you know, whether it's enough for

307
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: all the different things around the immediacy of the tragedy.

308
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: They go to global climate change and what you would

309
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: do as president. Yeah, that's just freaking nuts. It is nuts,

310
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: and it's not the way any normal human beings are,

311
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: especially in the midst of the crisis. I think it's

312
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: nuts if it were two months later. But the day

313
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: that it's happening, you're not talking about federal response and

314
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: is it enough or two much, or how we should

315
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: deal with it, or what you would do, or what

316
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: are your experiences, what had you done in Minnesota dealing

317
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: with various disasters or as a vice president Biden administration not.

318
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: They go right to climate change, the giant overarching will

319
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: unfold over centuries and there's nothing we can do about it.

320
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: What are you going to do in your couple of

321
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: years as president bs Two interesting things I learned about this,

322
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: one political. A lot of those counties that are decimated

323
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: are red counties in a purple state in North Carolina,

324
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: and if those people don't get out and vote, that

325
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: could hurt Republicans and Trump obviously in North Carolina, less

326
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: so in some of the other states. But that could

327
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: be a big deal because they don't know where their

328
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: absentee ballot is. They can't find their house, and you know,

329
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: whether they'll be able to organize the election and the

330
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: polls and the rest of it in the normal ways

331
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: is up in the air. Interesting, you don't think it

332
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: would go the other direction where they'd be more motivated

333
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: to figure out how to vote. Probably Republican. I don't

334
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: know why. Well, if they have no house, so they

335
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: might be depends on their view, depends on their view

336
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: of the response, if they feel like the response wasn't

337
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: good enough.

338
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's a factor. But they just they

339
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 4: don't even know if they could administer the elections. Certainly

340
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 4: wouldn't be top of your right now. No, no, And

341
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 4: again it's about just the logistics. These towns don't exist anymore,

342
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 4: so how are they going to hold the vote? That

343
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 4: in the Brown Ocean? I want to talk about that.

344
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 4: Insanity may be prevailing in women's sports.

345
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: Stay with us, Armstrong and Getty.

346
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 8: At my National Park delay the reveal of its annual

347
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 8: fat Bear Weak Bracket after one bear killed another and

348
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 8: it was live streamed on explored dot org. Well, I'm

349
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 8: not surprised you keep calling them fat on the internet.

350
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 8: Someone was bound a snap.

351
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: I get it. The dangers of social media, Joe.

352
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 4: The dangers of being a bear, wild beasts, toothclaw, etc.

353
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: So you can go on. I've never done this, So Katie,

354
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: you said you did this yesterday. You can go on

355
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: and watch just live cameras of fat bears walking around.

356
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, we actually have it linked at Armstrong and getty

357
00:18:58,720 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 7: dot com.

358
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: And then do people vote or who determines which bear

359
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: is the cutest or fattest or.

360
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's a there's a voting. It's all on a website.

361
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 7: So they have the voting and the webcams and.

362
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: You get the whole, the whole fat bear package.

363
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 4: The webcams are actually quite interesting because you see the

364
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 4: bears fishing for salmon and so it's both beautiful and amazing.

365
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: Oh my son would love this. Okay, until there's a

366
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: murder that's less beautiful, killing each other. Yeah, well they

367
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: are bears.

368
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 4: The bears are who we thought they were right, So

369
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 4: speaking of unpleasantness and what I.

370
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,959
Speaker 1: Say, Oh, but I'd rather run into a bear if

371
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: I'm instead of a man exactly.

372
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 4: Speaking of that sort of idiotic notion, that sort of attitude,

373
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 4: It's time for a campus madness update, Campa campus madness.

374
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: There it is right there.

375
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 2: I heard it.

376
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: I had forgotten that stupid thing that was born on

377
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: the campuses. I'm sure the idea that a woman is

378
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: better off running into a bear in the woods than

379
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 1: a man. What what you know?

380
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 4: What is happening to our culture? As the bear is

381
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 4: gnawing on your liver? If you said you could be

382
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 4: as so kind as to, perhaps in your own blood,

383
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 4: write a note of apology to men everywhere I would appreciate.

384
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: Or how stupid that was just stupid, unbelievable.

385
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 4: Let's start the campus mad in this update with some

386
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 4: good news.

387
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: Michael, make that music go away. It's so slow and maudlin. Anyway.

388
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 4: A fourth school, the second in as many days and

389
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 4: third time in a week, a woman's volleyball team has said,

390
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 4: we're not playing San Jose State. With the dude spiking

391
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 4: the ball at eighty miles per hour, we are out.

392
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: The undefeated San Jose State Spartans nine to Oho and

393
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 1: now three teams in a row have forfeited because they

394
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: figured out they got a guy on their team, their

395
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: female team.

396
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, indeed, and this is a total of four teams.

397
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 4: Now Utah State joined Boise State, Southern Utah in Wyoming

398
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 4: in canceling matches against San Jose and an apparent protest

399
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:20,199
Speaker 4: of NCAA rules allowing transgender women that means dudes to

400
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 4: compete in women's sports.

401
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: No men in women's sports period.

402
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 4: I don't care what you dress like, I don't care

403
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 4: what sort of hormones you're take in your dude, you

404
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 4: don't get to play with the girls in sports. So

405
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 4: good for you. Once again that gallery of the courageous.

406
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 4: And you know the gals on the teams are driving

407
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 4: this and they're sticking their necks out. Utah State, Boise State,

408
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 4: Southern Utah, and Wyoming. Way to go, moving along. Another

409
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 4: victory speaking of the southwest of the United States.

410
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: Big victory.

411
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 4: The other day, the University of New Mexico was issued

412
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 4: a preliminary injunction by federal court judge because they'd been

413
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 4: in posing hefty security fees on any events held by

414
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 4: conservative students. Right the university had put a winking, warm

415
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 4: arm around the shoulders of the Heckler's veto crowd and said, yes, yes,

416
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 4: when conservatives speak, things get out of hand, and so yes,

417
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 4: you've got to pay a five thousand dollars feet have

418
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 4: Rightley Gains come and speak to.

419
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: You and speak of women's rights. One, it's overblown most

420
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: of the time. And then two, if there is a problem,

421
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: it's because your site is violent. So why is that

422
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: our problem? Yeah, exactly, exactly, and.

423
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 4: It's it's allowing Nazis to cancel any Jewish event or

424
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 4: you know whatever. You know, rapists to cancel a women's

425
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 4: safety event because they don't appreciate the safety, so they're

426
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 4: gonna riot and break some windows and stuff. So well,

427
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, any women's rights events will have to pay

428
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 4: a hefty fee because you know, the rapists are unhappy

429
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 4: about it.

430
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: That is sick, it's weird, it's clever, and it has

431
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: worked for years. It's evil and it's working for years.

432
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: I mean, how many people have been canceled at Berkeley

433
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: for instances down the road here over that claim the

434
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: security would just be too expensive. We can't, we can't

435
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: to ensure their security.

436
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 3: Because your side's nuts.

437
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, cowardly, cowardly Standford the same, moving swiftly here again

438
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 4: or over to California. This is a great piece written

439
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 4: for the Wall Street Journal by a Jewish fellow who

440
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 4: emigrated from the Soviet Union and is a patriotic American,

441
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,719
Speaker 4: loves America. And he says, man, a lot of this

442
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 4: anti Israel stuff, anti jew stuff is straight out of

443
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 4: the Soviet Union anti Semitism. He said, it's so recognizable.

444
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 4: The Jews go back to your Israel has been replaced

445
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 4: with Jews go back to Poland, using Zionist as a

446
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 4: derogatory term.

447
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: And then he talks.

448
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 4: About Clairmont Colleges in California, where he teaches the associated

449
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 4: students of Pomona College. The school's student government had on

450
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 4: its table booklets titled mask Up, We Need You, Palestinian

451
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 4: Solidarity COVID nineteen and the Struggle for Liberation.

452
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: Wow, you're like, wait, wait what, Yeah, I'll get to that.

453
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,719
Speaker 4: And this is the whole intersectionality, neo Marxist thing, every

454
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 4: single annoyed person ought to join together in the overthrow

455
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 4: of humanity, even when it doesn't make sense. Queers for Palestine.

456
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 4: You know that sort of thing. But so this group

457
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 4: seven c Staff for Justice and Palestine have a text

458
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 4: pushing a conspiracy theory reminiscent of the Doctor's plot in

459
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 4: the Soviet Union. It's an old thing, look it up,

460
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 4: implying that the US and Israel purposefully see if you

461
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 4: can follow this used COVID nineteen to commit a eugenics

462
00:24:53,960 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 4: based genocide against Palestinians, minorities, and disabled people. The pamphlets

463
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 4: warned that quote, Zionists and eugenicists rely on you to

464
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 4: be poorly informed to follow for their simplified decontextualized, revisionist,

465
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,719
Speaker 4: racist and ablest takes.

466
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: That's what they're teaching on her universities. Money well spent.

467
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: There's more.

468
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 4: The new editor of the Stanford Oh what is the

469
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:30,719
Speaker 4: name of this Stanford Review, which is the dissenting, sane

470
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 4: conservative newspaper on the Stanford campus.

471
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 1: This woman, this young woman is brilliant and brave. She

472
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: is a hero. But she talks.

473
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 4: About how Stanford Review is founded in the eighties because

474
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 4: their peers demanded the end of the Western civilization program

475
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 4: that taught authors like Aristotle and Dante, and they chanted, hey, hey,

476
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 4: ho ho, Western culture has got to go. Stanford Cancer

477
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 4: canceled Western Civilization, and now it's in its iteration of

478
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 4: a class just called college that is like John Belushi.

479
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 4: That was parody, but now it's Stanford only it only

480
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 4: requires students to read articles instead of books, and is

481
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 4: graded on completion, not hard work, comprehension, or excellence. The

482
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 4: inmates have taken over the asylum. She writes really good stuff.

483
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 4: We'll post links at Armstrong and getty dot com. I

484
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 4: don't know how many years you'd have to go back.

485
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: It's not very many years, but it would have been

486
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: unimaginable that you would cancel Western civ Classes from colleges

487
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: because you thought Western civilization was so evil it shouldn't

488
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: even be taught. I mean you wouldn't have to go

489
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: back many years a decade. Certainly you go back twenty

490
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: thirty years ago, it would be just nuts, even on

491
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: college campuses, not just seen as incorrect, but as looney

492
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 1: tunes because it is right. Wow.

493
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 4: We talked a little bit about the UH emotion professor

494
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 4: Amy wax at Penn. One of the things she's accused of.

495
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 4: This is hilarious. In the Age of DEI right where

496
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 4: you're entirely defined by your race, the color of your skin.

497
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 4: She was accused of making sweeping generalizations about groups by race, ethnicity, gender,

498
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 4: sexual orientation, immigration status. That is the very thing that

499
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 4: DEI is based on. They're firing conservative professors for. Here's

500
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 4: another example of what hypocrites and liars these people are.

501
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 4: So Columbia University finally cranked out a report about the

502
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:40,719
Speaker 4: anti Semitism on campus, and a bunch of radical teachers, staffers, professors,

503
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 4: faculties I'm looking for published an angry response to it,

504
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 4: saying that one of the big flaws was that it

505
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 4: contributes to a hospitle narrative about Columbia. It's marked by conspicuous,

506
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 4: neglectful omissions of context and climate. It conflates feelings with facts,

507
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 4: so it said the idea of your feelings are hurt

508
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 4: or you feel threatened, that's not a fact. We don't

509
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 4: have to react to that. That's the DEI progressive crowd

510
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 4: saying that, Who've spent the last couple of decades telling

511
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 4: us if you say something completely innocent but somebody thinks

512
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 4: it's racist, you're a racist. People are such hypocrites. And finally,

513
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 4: a profile and cowardice. For the last seven years, New

514
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,959
Speaker 4: York State Writers Institute held an annual book festival at

515
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 4: the University of Albany. Notable authors come together and discuss

516
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 4: big ideas. But this year the festival was disrupted because

517
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 4: two authors refuse to discuss their books with the panels moderator.

518
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 4: Why because she is a Zionist. Alyssa Albert, forty six

519
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 4: year old progressive feminist author whose novels are dark comedies

520
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 4: about subjects like modern motherhood and fame. She'd agreed to

521
00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 4: moderate the panel months earlier, was really looking forward to it,

522
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 4: but then it turns out that she is a Jew,

523
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 4: and so the other panelists or the author said, we

524
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 4: don't want to be on a panel with a Zionist.

525
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 4: Not to sugarcoat this or taken by surprise. Wow, we

526
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 4: can't appear with a Zionist.

527
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 3: Wow.

528
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: There's another thing that you wouldn't have to go back

529
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: many years where it would have just seemed nuts that

530
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: somebody would get canceled from any sort of writer's gathering

531
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: because they were Jewish, only because they're Jewish. Yeah, let's

532
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: go ahead and state it as it is.

533
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 4: Aisha abdel Gowad, a Muslim writer in her mid thirties,

534
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 4: and Lisa Coe, whose first book was now nomine in

535
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 4: for a National Book Award, wouldn't share the stage with

536
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 4: a Jew who supports Israel. Won't be on stage with

537
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 4: Jews again. That's Ayisha Gwad and Lisa Coe.

538
00:29:53,560 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: Wow, weird times, man. That's troubling. It's extremely troubling, and

539
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: that one is not receding anytime soon. I don't think, Oh.

540
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 4: No, our college campuses are I mean, eighty percent of

541
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 4: the faculty agree with it, or even if it's sixty percent,

542
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 4: twenty five percent are too terrified to say anything, and

543
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 4: fifteen percent disagree with it.

544
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: They're so diseased. Oh, I'm not sure there's any curing. Well,

545
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: like your first campus madness story, it would seem that

546
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: the tide is turned on the whole women's women men

547
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: dominating women's sports thing. It would seem the tide has

548
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: turned on that, but not on this whole canceling Jews

549
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:37,959
Speaker 1: thing that has not yet.

550
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 4: No, No, and anti Zionism as the polite face of

551
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,959
Speaker 4: anti Semitism is an old, old dodge.

552
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: I need to pick a baseball team to root for

553
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. As we're getting past the wild card rounds.

554
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to go with the Detroit Tigers,

555
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: one of the lowest payrolls in all of baseball. Who

556
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: knocked off the Houston Astros, who I usually root for

557
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: last night? And move on, kindwagon jumper, folks, he's a

558
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: fake fan. I love low pay roll teams always have.

559
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: That's just that's fun when they when they get they

560
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: get a chance to roll on. And baseball man more

561
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: than practically any sport. You just got to make the

562
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: playoffs than anything can happen. You get hot and get

563
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: on a roll. Doesn't matter if the team you're up

564
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: against one hundred games, who cares.

565
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, especially if you have the pitching. You've got a

566
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 4: couple of two tree pitchers who are really hot.

567
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: Yep. Got some interesting political stuff you might want to

568
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: know about. Not boring. Promise you promise you not dull, boring,

569
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: normal cable news sort of stuff about the presidential rays

570
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: and other things. All the way.

571
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 3: Stay here, meet the mini move right now.

572
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 9: The Erth's gravitational pull is playing host to something we

573
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 9: traditionally find a little scary.

574
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 3: An asteroid scientists see it.

575
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 9: Swung by got caught up in our gravity and we'll

576
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 9: spend about the next sixty days orbiting the planet. And no,

577
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 9: there's no need to fear. They're not kidding about the

578
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 9: mini part. The asteroid, affectionately named twenty twenty four PT five,

579
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 9: is literally thirty three feet long, about the size of

580
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 9: your average school bus.

581
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 3: It's too small and too dark for most of us

582
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 3: to glimbs.

583
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: Oh, so the mini moon is going to be orbiting

584
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: the Earth. So I for some reason, I was picturing

585
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: it up by the moon, but I don't know how

586
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: I got that in my head. So it's completely separate

587
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: from the Moon. It's just an asteroid or okay, and

588
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: we won't be able to see it. Okay, So it's

589
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: really nothing. It's a junior moon. There you go. And

590
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: there's no chance it's going to crash into the Earth

591
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: and kill us all or anything like that. No, there's

592
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: always a chance.

593
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 4: Like one of our emailers said, some DEI hire might

594
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 4: have failed to carry the one. It's in fact headed

595
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 4: directly toward Manhattan.

596
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: Some DEI higher did the math wrong. Hilarious, Yeah, quotas

597
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: instead of excellence. Yes, I haven't heard this. I guess

598
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: this is a lefty journalists in a Monta having to

599
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: admit that Vance beat Walls in the debate the other night.

600
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 4: Vance clearly, I think it needs to be said, clearly,

601
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 4: the more experienced debater, so JD.

602
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: Vance, came to this debate to land a bunch of punches,

603
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: and he did. And the thing that really stood out

604
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: to me was that Tim Walls did not seem prepared

605
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: for it.

606
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 10: I think the lack of interviews that he has done

607
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 10: with national media, with local media, it showed he needed

608
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 10: more racial and two issues driving the campaign right now

609
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 10: are Harris has a big deficit of the economy, Harris

610
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 10: has a big deficit of immigration. And Republicans were happy

611
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 10: tonight and Democrats a little bit nervous that on those

612
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 10: two issues Vance carried it.

613
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: I mean it's pretty clear Vance outclassed Walls tonight. I

614
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: mean I was watching this and all I could think

615
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: of was man Walls as so went over his head. Wow,

616
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: that's interesting. I hadn't heard all those responses and I

617
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: recognized the voice of most of those people, and they're.

618
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 4: Not predisposed to feel that way. Yeah, you've said for

619
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 4: years and it's a truism. At this point, the whole

620
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 4: question of who won the debate is such a dopey

621
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 4: way to look at it. Did either candidate solidify or

622
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:13,280
Speaker 4: grow or support? Did anybody weaken their support? If Vance

623
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 4: quote unquote one for his folks better than Waltz one

624
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 4: for his folks, well, what does that mean?

625
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: Both their approval ratings went up, according to Pole, so

626
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 1: they may have both helped their own positions. I'm confused

627
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: as to how Walls's approval rating went up, even among

628
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: people who liked him to start with. But anyway, I

629
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: wanted to get this confused by that too. From the

630
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: Wide World of News newsletter today, there are three post

631
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: debate stories on Tim Walls from The Wall Street Journal,

632
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: New York Times, and Political, all suggesting the Minnesotan's debate

633
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: performance reflects some previously known flaws that the dominant media

634
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: is now more ready to examine about his fish tails

635
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: and making up his stories, his skill set, and his

636
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: value to the campaign. As he gets ready to do

637
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: the sixty minutes interview for this weekend, I think other interviews,

638
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: and he's going to do a late night comedy turn,

639
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: so he's going to go on all the late night

640
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: shows Walls is so I haven't read these stories in

641
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Politico, suggesting that

642
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: there's a little nervousness that the guy might not have

643
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: the talent to pull all this off, which I'd say

644
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: was evident the other night. I don't know how he'll

645
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: do on the late night shows. I mean they'll they'll

646
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: they'll give him all, they'll give him every you know,

647
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: assist they can to try and make it better. Also,

648
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: this from Mark Calpern, who's pretty good at this sort

649
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: of stuff. He said my spidey sense says that the

650
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: stories about the past an alleged past of Doug am Hoff,

651
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris's husband, have a few more chapters to inferral

652
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 1: at least, so he must be hearing some whispers out

653
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:47,479
Speaker 1: there that this him slapping his ex girlfriend. Uh, there's

654
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: more of these coming.

655
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's it's not directly relevant to the race,

656
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 4: but it just is an ugly.

657
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: Well it's an it's an ugly reality.

658
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 4: And if Kamala Harris is with a guy not only

659
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 4: impregnated his kids nanny and then they didn't keep the baby,

660
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 4: whether it was aborted or whatever, I think most people

661
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 4: think that then he slapped his girlfriend. I just what

662
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 4: sort of great feminist leaders with a guy like that.

663
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: Well, and if there's a couple of more that are

664
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 1: in that realm, yeah, that'd be pretty damaging. I think

665
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty
