WEBVTT - At The Risk Of Being Punched In The Face 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:06.200 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:10.800 Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong in shoe Dy arm Strong 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:17.320 and Jetty and now he Armstrong and Jetty. 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:27.920 People never gave it out us until now when they 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:31.880 finally realize that the chain is being broke. Now cars 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:36.040 won't come in, food won't come in, clothing won't come in. 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:39.279 You know how many people depend on our jobs. 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:40.080 Half the world. 0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:43.320 And it's time for them and time for Washington to 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:45.920 put so much pressure on them to take care. 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:47.000 Of us, because we took. 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:48.920 Care of them, and we're here one hundred and thirty 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.040 five years and brought tom where they are today. 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:52.400 And they don't want to share. 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:55.920 They don't want to share, says the guy who rides 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:58.720 around in a Bentley and has a seventy foot yacht, 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.680 lives in a two movie house, makes about a million 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:04.560 dollars a year, and so does his son. We're loving us. 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:07.840 Some herald j Daggett around here. The guys that's run 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.760 how much money he makes on the books? Yeah, that's 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.600 an excellent point. That's an excellent point. Why are they 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:21.080 why what would his entire package be, you know, on 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:23.960 paper for everyone to read. He's the president of the 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:28.520 International Longshoreman Association. Got the big strike going on tens 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.120 of thousands of workers the Gulf Coast and the East Coast, 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:34.720 costing our economy about five million dollars a day, but 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.400 it's going to grow over time. There are now sixty 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:43.360 some ships parked offshore like happened back during COVID, not 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.800 able to unload their Their main thing is all the 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:48.800 talk in the media is about the salary, because the 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.120 media is too stupid to ever look into anything. But 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:54.440 it's really about the automation. They're trying to fight the 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:59.400 ports from modernizing and coming up to speed with all 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.240 the other major reorts in the world. 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.160 Because exactly, it's not like we're leading the way. It's 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.400 like we're years behind, which. 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.160 A wildly inefficient I guess we got another clip of 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.120 our friend Daggett here in what he sounds like. 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:17.320 Sisters and brothers of the ISLA. I am disgusted to 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:23.200 hear the comment South Carolina Governor Henry mcmastus made in 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:29.000 his State of the State address in late January attacking 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:35.239 labor union in Ila and particularly who the hell does 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:39.280 he think he is? He is a disgrace to be 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:45.160 representing the citizens of South Carolina, especially my members from 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:49.240 the ISLA living and working there. His attacks on the 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:53.680 ISLA will not be ignored. ISLA members in the Port 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:58.160 of Jarson are among the best compensated workers in the 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:03.000 state of South Carolina, and that brins the hell out 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.520 of the governor. He sits in his all white private 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.720 country club, surrounded by his cronies, saying he'll go to 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:15.079 the gates of Hell to keep unions out. Well, let 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:19.080 me tell you he's gonna go to Hell. That's where 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:19.680 he's heading. 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:25.920 Wow. Wow, there's a lot there. I can't believe there 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:31.760 are whispers about mob ties with this guy. He doesn't 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.920 sound like a mobster in particularly. 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:39.520 Right, And a guy driving a Bentley worth many, many 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.520 millions of dollars with a seventy six foot yacht bitching 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.400 about a guy in a country club. 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:48.240 I mean, right, right, that's too much. It is something. Although, 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.320 as I mentioned, I noticed they made the turn on 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:56.839 Fox from being kind of where we are right now. 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.000 Yesterday when I was watching Fox, he got a modern 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.920 I mean, the technology exists to do this faster and cheaper. 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.120 Of course, the companies are going to do it, just 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.000 like they have everywhere else in the world. We can't 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.720 fall behind China hanging on to, you know, outdated manpower 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.520 just because it's good for the worker. They made the 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.279 switch somehow. I don't know who complained or what, or 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.080 they noticed Trump's language or whatever, but today it was 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:22.200 way more. These are hard working people who deserve their 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.880 cut of the all the gazillions of dollars of these 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:26.080 shipping companies are making. 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:30.200 That's an interesting theory of labor. It doesn't square with 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:35.680 like all known economic truth. I mean, look, there's a 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:39.040 lot here. Number one, the economics of it. Your labor 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.200 is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.919 If you want to unionize, that's fine, that's legal. But 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.560 the idea that if you are a say you know, 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:51.840 a paper pusher for some company that makes enormous profits, 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.520 you therefore, as somebody with sixty thousand dollars worth of skills, 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.680 how to be making four hundred thousand dollars a year 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.120 just because your company is profitable, is it? 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.240 It ignores the realities of economics. 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.760 Your labor is worth what it's worth the point at 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.159 which somebody is willing to pay for your skills and 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:09.720 you are willing to sell your skills. 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.400 That's what your labor is worth. It just has always 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:14.239 been true, always will be true. 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.800 And so the union boss there is making some pretty, 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:19.120 you know, just silly arguments. 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.080 Well that's what doesn't work that way. Yeah, and that's great, 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.560 and on an individual basis, of course, that makes perfectly 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:27.919 good sense. I'm worried about the United States competing against 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:33.400 China and the rest of the world and being like 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:40.240 every uh, fading empire has been in history, where they 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.640 just try to hang on to the past and get 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:48.960 eclipsed by hungry or smarter, more nimble countries out there. Correct. 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.360 Yeah, what's interesting, Getting back to your observation that Fox 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.960 News has changed its tune in the last twenty four hours, 0:05:54.960 --> 0:06:00.200 that is really interesting. Predictably, old Joe Biden says now 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.440 is not the time for ocean carriers or refuse to 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:07.880 negotiate a fair wage for these essential workers while ranking 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.719 in record profits. So I guess a fifty percent wage 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.680 increase over the next six years is not a fair wage. 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:15.240 And a lot of these guys make a lot of 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.040 money for not even showing up. They get money whether 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.880 they work or not. And all the union bosses make 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.560 money for doing nothing or whatever. So yeah, the idea 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:27.120 that somehow a moral issue is hilarious to me. Now, 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:32.320 Don Trump interestingly saying American workers should be able to 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.400 negotiate for better wages, especially since the shipping companies are 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:36.960 mostly foreign flag vessels. 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:42.320 That's the he's the Republican candidate for president. He is. 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.120 Indeed, Yes, the reason most ocean carriers are foreign is 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.719 because union work rules haveered have rendered the US shipbuilding 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:53.719 and shipping industries uncompetitive globally. It's killed the American shipping 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.040 and shipbuilding industry, which is going to which is a 0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:00.600 serious danger for our military preparedness. I would say as 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.159 an aside, but Jack and I were chatting during the 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.320 break about what is this? Is this the populisms, you know, 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.720 siding with the workers or what. I don't know. 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.080 It might be siding with. 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.880 The working man over the big corporation, or it might 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.560 be that Donald J. Trump, for the entirety of his career, 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:20.640 has been dealing with mob connected unions in New York City. 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:24.080 You can't get cement poured in New York City without 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.480 brushing up against somebody who knows somebody. 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:29.040 Forget about it, mob connected. How's the heck of a 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.480 thing to throw around? Are you saying, my man Daggett 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.360 might be tied into organized crime? 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:38.440 Well, the federal government certainly thinks so, and he's been acquitted. 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:44.040 What did he say there? And particularly in particularly? I 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:48.920 got some friends in particularly. How do you spell that anyway? 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.480 So I will you, I will cripple you. And you 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.120 have no idea what that means. Nobody does, he said 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.240 in an interview a couple of weeks ago, according to 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.400 The Wall Street Journal, I will cripple you. And oh yeah, 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.240 Taft Hartley. That's where the President could step in and 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:04.880 use the Taft Hartly Act and say he got to 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.880 go back to work. There's a national economies at stake, 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:09.960 national securities at stake, So you got to go back 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.400 to work while we try to, you know, come to 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:15.200 an agreement. But Biden said he's not gonna do it. 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:17.480 But old Daggett said the other day, I'm putting Taft 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:20.120 Hardly on you. Go ahead. You know what Taft Hartly means. 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:21.840 I gotta go back to work. Oh yeah, you know 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.800 what's gonna happen. My guys who used to move thirty 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.000 Krate's gonna move eight crates, so they're gonna be like, oh, 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:28.960 and then he grabs his neck. They're gonna be like, oh, 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.360 my neck, hoots, I can't grab a crate now. So 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.240 he's just saying they're all gonna pretend to be hurt 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.760 if they do, if they enact the taft hard. 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.240 We're just a slow down a tome honored technique, we 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.280 will cripple you. 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:43.840 Yeah. 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.880 So this guy's been accused by the authorities of mob 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.240 ties several times, you know five. He stood trial in 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:55.120 Brooklyn on fraud charges alongside another ILA official and an 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:58.600 alleged mobster who is accused of steering union benefit contracts 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:03.079 to firms that paid kickbackstore crime witnessed. His witnesses testified 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:06.360 under oath that Daggett was elevated through the ILA because 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.720 the MO by the mob because he was an associate 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.600 of one of the big crime families. Daggett denied it. 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.040 He said, yea, he is afraid of the crime families. 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:14.719 He avoids them. 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.520 Seem pretty clear to me it's because he's a compelling orator. 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.440 Well, let me tell you he's gonna go to hell 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:23.559 Gotsch where he's heading. 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:26.480 The three defendants were acquitted. 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.240 Oddly, Lawrence Ricci, the defendant alleged to be a Genevie's 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:35.400 crime family member, went missing during the trial, disappeared mid trial, 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.760 and was later found partially decomposed in the trunk of 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:42.120 a car outside the Huck Finn Diner in Union, New Jersey. 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:44.120 It's crazy. 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.680 That is absolutely unbelievable. And the point you made yesterday, 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:54.000 I think is important that they feel so untouchable. That 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.520 he's not trying to hide his wealth. He has a 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.520 giant yacht and rides around in a Bentley. That's not 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.600 you know, you're trying to hang onto the money and 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.120 just come off as a regular working class guy just 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.400 trying to make a living. No, you don't think anybody 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:11.680 can touch you when you're being that ostentatious with your lifestyle. 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:14.800 Guys, maybe we can actually find the audio of this. 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:18.280 This is my favorite Daggett quote. He was leaving the 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:23.040 cargo terminal in New Jersey the other morning and he 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.440 suggested that he and the ILA are digging in for 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:30.400 a lengthy showdown, and a reporter said, how. 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.719 Long do you think it's likely to last? And he said, I. 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.840 Don't have an f in crystal ball between my legs, 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:38.520 but it will last very long. 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:39.439 I would tell you that. 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:48.600 Efen crystal ball between my legs, and particularly not like 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.240 on a shelf er back at home, or why would 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:55.200 you keep a crystal ball between your legs? Do you 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.560 think Dagget himself has ever thrown a punch or swung 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.600 an axe handle in a over the years. He is 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:07.000 a very strong, tough looking old guy. It would not 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:07.680 shock me. 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.680 His language indicates he might be the sort of person 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:16.240 that at least has threatened, if not actually been the 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:17.240 the hammer. 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.480 That had had gold Lawrence Ricci, but he was found 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:26.360 partially decomposed in a trunk in particularly in particularly, we 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:27.280 will cripple you. 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.480 Oh my neck? You want to do taft hardly? Oh 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:34.280 my neck? This is not gonna help Kamala Harris a bit. Well, 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.680 that's that's my big thing is if this grows, and 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.120 it's gonna grow fast. I mean you can feel the 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.640 heat getting turned up just three days in. What's it 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:43.959 gonna feel like a week or two from now, when 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.120 you got hundreds of ships parked off the coast.

One of the things they're arguing 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:19.200 for the Longshorreman is not replacing with modern technology people 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.520 that stand there with a clipboard making a lot of 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.960 money and writing down the license plates of the trucks 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.280 that come in. Right now, they have human beings do 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.160 it instead of have just a license plate reader that 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.959 you could get for very cheap and it'd be free 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.440 after that. Because they don't want to lose the workers. Well, 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:38.920 that's just you're just fighting against the ocean there the tide. Ironically, 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.160 they know it's the last deal they're going to get 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.000 before things really change, So I guess you swing for 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:47.040 the fences. Speaking of swing for the fences, I want 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:48.840 to mention a thing from the baseball playoffs. No, we 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:50.200 got a whole bunch of other stuff on the ways. 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:54.880 Stay here, you can't see this. 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.760 California just and as that they're banning sell buy and 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:01.760 best before food labels. Yeah, they prefer everyone to use 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:03.920 the more scientific method of going up to your spouse 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:05.400 and saying does this smell right to you? 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:10.320 And that's what I like to do it. So what's 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.720 what's the story on that? It seems like California would 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.160 be the opposite of that, they'd be more strict as 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:16.920 opposed to get rid of them. What's the story, Katie? 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.040 Well, so they're getting rid of the cell buy and 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.920 best before because they can be misleading, and they're going 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.720 they're going to be replaced by two different labels, one 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:29.160 best if used by, which will show when food is 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:32.800 at its best quality, okay, and then a used by 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.080 label to show when food is no longer safe to eat. 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.640 Yeah, this is a real leaf forward, right, just a 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:40.080 heads up. 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.680 It won't apply to eggs, beer and other malt drinks. 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:50.000 Why wouldn't it? Okay? But I well, I don't know 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:54.480 how well you can nail down at what point something 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:59.520 becomes not safe to eat. The companies that make the 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.560 food mostly have an interest in making it seem like 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.160 you got to buy new all the time because they 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.880 stocked shelves. Yeah, and or your fridge. Yeah, so the 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.240 whole best buy, Like this cracker will taste better if 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:12.040 you eat it next week, but it's still be fine 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.440 in a month. I don't know what that is. 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.320 And if I'm drunk, it'll be even better. I mean 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:22.720 in another month it'll be fine. So sliding scale the goal. 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.320 The goal is to cut down on food waste, and 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:31.160 because it's California, reduce harmful emissions that contribute to climate change. 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.960 Oh jeez, with the climate change. You know, I knew 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:38.920 it would edit through it be ridiculous. Yeah, bringing back 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:41.400 once again, at risk of being punched in the face 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:45.120 the vice presidential debate the other night. Oh, I had 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.640 missed this too until I heard smarter commentators commenting on it, 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.040 So you got what's going on in North Carolina. And 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.520 the day of the debate was a particularly bad day 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.840 when we found out there were hundreds more people dead 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:59.440 than they realized and lots of people missing, and really 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:01.760 good reason to presume that they are dead. Also, I mean, 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:05.080 it's just a horrifying tragedy right in the midst of it, 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.600 and they bring it up, and they don't talk about 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:11.160 the government's response or you know, whether it's enough for 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:15.840 all the different things around the immediacy of the tragedy. 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:18.640 They go to global climate change and what you would 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:23.800 do as president. Yeah, that's just freaking nuts. It is nuts, 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.400 and it's not the way any normal human beings are, 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.280 especially in the midst of the crisis. I think it's 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.880 nuts if it were two months later. But the day 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.120 that it's happening, you're not talking about federal response and 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.120 is it enough or two much, or how we should 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.160 deal with it, or what you would do, or what 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.720 are your experiences, what had you done in Minnesota dealing 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:47.920 with various disasters or as a vice president Biden administration not. 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:53.080 They go right to climate change, the giant overarching will 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.440 unfold over centuries and there's nothing we can do about it. 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:58.120 What are you going to do in your couple of 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:04.120 years as president bs Two interesting things I learned about this, 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:08.040 one political. A lot of those counties that are decimated 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:11.520 are red counties in a purple state in North Carolina, 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:13.920 and if those people don't get out and vote, that 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:19.680 could hurt Republicans and Trump obviously in North Carolina, less 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.840 so in some of the other states. But that could 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.880 be a big deal because they don't know where their 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:28.359 absentee ballot is. They can't find their house, and you know, 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.359 whether they'll be able to organize the election and the 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.119 polls and the rest of it in the normal ways 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:33.520 is up in the air. Interesting, you don't think it 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:35.879 would go the other direction where they'd be more motivated 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:43.480 to figure out how to vote. Probably Republican. I don't 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:47.600 know why. Well, if they have no house, so they 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.240 might be depends on their view, depends on their view 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:53.000 of the response, if they feel like the response wasn't 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:53.440 good enough. 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:55.760 Yeah, I mean that's a factor. But they just they 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:59.240 don't even know if they could administer the elections. Certainly 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:02.760 wouldn't be top of your right now. No, no, And 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:06.320 again it's about just the logistics. These towns don't exist anymore, 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:09.200 so how are they going to hold the vote? That 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:11.480 in the Brown Ocean? I want to talk about that. 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.160 Insanity may be prevailing in women's sports. 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.200 Stay with us, Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:21.439 At my National Park delay the reveal of its annual 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:25.840 fat Bear Weak Bracket after one bear killed another and 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:29.840 it was live streamed on explored dot org.

Okay, until there's a 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:22.679 murder that's less beautiful, killing each other. Yeah, well they 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:23.400 are bears. 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:27.959 The bears are who we thought they were right, So 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:31.000 speaking of unpleasantness and what I. 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:32.959 Say, Oh, but I'd rather run into a bear if 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:36.879 I'm instead of a man exactly. 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:42.560 Speaking of that sort of idiotic notion, that sort of attitude, 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:56.119 It's time for a campus madness update, Campa campus madness. 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:57.359 There it is right there. 0:19:57.600 --> 0:19:58.119 I heard it. 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:01.159 I had forgotten that stupid thing that was born on 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:04.280 the campuses. I'm sure the idea that a woman is 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.520 better off running into a bear in the woods than 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:11.679 a man. What what you know? 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:15.240 What is happening to our culture? As the bear is 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:17.760 gnawing on your liver? If you said you could be 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:20.920 as so kind as to, perhaps in your own blood, 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:25.200 write a note of apology to men everywhere I would appreciate. 0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:28.840 Or how stupid that was just stupid, unbelievable. 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:31.160 Let's start the campus mad in this update with some 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:32.120 good news. 0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:38.320 Michael, make that music go away. It's so slow and maudlin. Anyway. 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:43.280 A fourth school, the second in as many days and 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:46.960 third time in a week, a woman's volleyball team has said, 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:51.480 we're not playing San Jose State. With the dude spiking 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:54.960 the ball at eighty miles per hour, we are out. 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:59.600 The undefeated San Jose State Spartans nine to Oho and 0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:02.199 now three teams in a row have forfeited because they 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:04.520 figured out they got a guy on their team, their 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:05.160 female team. 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:08.399 Yeah, indeed, and this is a total of four teams. 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:12.000 Now Utah State joined Boise State, Southern Utah in Wyoming 0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:15.320 in canceling matches against San Jose and an apparent protest 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:20.199 of NCAA rules allowing transgender women that means dudes to 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:21.560 compete in women's sports. 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:23.480
