WEBVTT - Can I Borrow Some Lipstick? 

0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong and.

0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:17.279
<v Speaker 2>Gettie and he Armstrong and Yeddy.

0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:25.799
<v Speaker 3>The DC Court of Appeals is upheld a decision to

0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:29.639
<v Speaker 3>block the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan gang member style

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 3>salvad Or under the Alien Enemies Act, ruling those powers

0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 3>are limited to wartime, not organized crime, making it likely

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 3>this case goes to the Supreme Court.

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:40.200
<v Speaker 2>This is not going to end well.

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:43.239
<v Speaker 4>So we're getting them out in record numbers, and we're

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:45.159
<v Speaker 4>having a lot of problems with the courts because the

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:48.760
<v Speaker 4>courts want to pretend they're president. Then they're not president.

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.040
<v Speaker 4>They didn't get eighty million votes. A.

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'll get that argument. More on that in a second.

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 5>Let's hear the rest of this report.

0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 3>Here are the judges that ruled against the Trump administration.

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 3>Care and Henderson appointed the Appeals Court by George H. W. Bush,

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 3>and Patricia Millett appointed by Barack Obama. Now Justin Walker

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 3>Trump appointing twenty twenty said quote. The government has also

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.680
<v Speaker 3>shown that the district courts orders threatened irreparable harm and

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:19.400
<v Speaker 3>delicate negotiations with foreign powers on matters concerning national security,

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 3>and that harm outweighs the plaintiff's desire to file a

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 3>suit in the District of Columbia.

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 5>So there's the politics of it in the law of it, right,

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 5>there are different stories. Really, I'm looking up at Fox

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 5>MS thirteen gang members deported, and then they're going through

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 5>some of these dudes and their violent histories.

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:39.839
<v Speaker 2>And what about their rights?

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 5>Jack right, So Trump has managed to put people in

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 5>the position of wanting to stand up for violent gang

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 5>members when you've got the you know, just the flat

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 5>legal aspect of it being persons in the United States

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 5>have rights, and did these people's rights get violated before

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 5>they were shipped out? And that's you know, something we

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 5>got to make sure of. And then Trump's argument that

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 5>they didn't get eighty million votes, Well, we got different

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 5>branches and we have reason. We have a judicial system

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.079
<v Speaker 5>and they're appointed and not elected to deal with It's

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 5>a balance thing, maybe, but he either knows that it doesn't.

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 5>But again, he's trying to win the politics part of it.

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 5>That's his main goal.

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:24.600
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Worth mentioning that the entire idea of the Constitution is

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 2>protected to protect us from a you know, dictatorship of

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 2>the majority anyway, right, And you wouldn't want to end up.

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.520
<v Speaker 5>With a you know, a democratic president snatching people off

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:44.680
<v Speaker 5>the street for whatever reason under some whatever war powers

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 5>act from whatever very old statute to happen either.

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 2>But so where things where are things currently legally speaking?

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so I judge stepped in and said you can't

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 5>deport anybody else.

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, it was the u U Court of Appeals for

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 2>the d C Circuit, the most liberal circuit. Court two

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 2>to one on Wednesday denied the Justice Department's bid to

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 2>lift the block while it fights the lawsuit. Not shocking

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 2>at all. It'll keep going until it's in the Supreme Court.

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 2>But one thing that bothered me. The Wall Street Journal's

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 2>journalism is skewing further and further left. Is shocking. It's

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 2>like senior sister in a hoe house or your brother

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.040
<v Speaker 2>dot dot dot fill in the blank ere if you

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:31.639
<v Speaker 2>like to, here's a paragraph for air sentence for you.

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Blah blah blah. Two to one decisions. Abadu Badou challenged

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 2>President Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act of seventeen

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 2>ninety eight to carry out the deportations. The law has

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 2>rarely been used. That's true. It is meant to be

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 2>invoked at times when the nation is at war. This

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>is a news story where they state as fact one

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 2>interpretation of the Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight,

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 2>when there are absolutely anybody with a shred of an

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 2>intellectual honesty knows there are different ways to interpret the Act,

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 2>including an occursion by a hostile power not during a

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 2>declared state of war. You read this specific wording of

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 2>the act, it's a third act, like there's one and

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>only one interpret.

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 5>I wouldn't call that an interpretation. They just didn't even

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 5>read the next clause. Well, yeah, it's it's overt bias.

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 5>It's blatant bias.

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 2>Shame on. Let's name names here, Jack, It's more fun

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 2>that way, Jan Wolf, Michelle Hackman puts the hack bag

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 2>in Hackman and Victoria Albert a trio of ladies.

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 5>Now, whether or not this counts as a whatever incursion,

0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:41.360
<v Speaker 5>I don't know Court's going to decide on that. But uh,

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 5>I thought it was interesting that our DHS Secretary Christi

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.640
<v Speaker 5>nom visited that Venezuelan prison yesterday. I don't know if

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 5>you saw that. Why she dressed so hot. I don't

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:53.120
<v Speaker 5>quite get that.

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, if I'm going to a giant El Salvadoran

0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 2>prison full of the worst desperadoes on earth, I'm gonna

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 2>throw on maybe a little jacket over my shapely bot

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 2>in my tight, tight white top. But you know, I

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 2>just I wouldn't want to incite a horniness driven prison riot.

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 2>This is quite the prison.

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 5>Here's Peter Deucey describing the conditions there.

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 7>They spend twenty three and a half hours in those cells.

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 7>Each cell has seventy people. They eat, they bathe, they

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.159
<v Speaker 7>use the bathroom in front of each other. The meals

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.279
<v Speaker 7>are beans in pasta. The bunks are four levels high,

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 7>and on the bunks back there there are no sheets,

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.280
<v Speaker 7>no mattresses, no pillows, and most of those people are

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.400
<v Speaker 7>in there for life. Most will never see the out

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 7>of doors again. One man, she was introduced yesterday to

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 7>a man who is serving four hundred and sixty five

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 7>years for homicide and terrorism.

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Because at twenty three and a half hours a day

0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 2>in that room with all those people and your sheetless, pillowless,

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:06.040
<v Speaker 2>spacked four high bed, we have better rights for chickens

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.640
<v Speaker 2>in California than they have in Venezuela for the prisons. Yeah,

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 2>so you don't want to get shit there, right, Yeah.

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:13.160
<v Speaker 2>And part of the.

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 5>Point from people who are worried about this is that

0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 5>we grabbed some people, you know, the Venezuelan gang members hardcore.

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.600
<v Speaker 5>I don't care if they get something back there, what

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:23.120
<v Speaker 5>do I care?

0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 2>But if you grabbed somebody, and there are examples out

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 2>there that I don't know if they're true or not,

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 2>but the New York Times and pr and various people, Uh,

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, you grabbed some guy who's not in a

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.359
<v Speaker 2>gang at all, you miss you misinterpreted his tattoo.

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.719
<v Speaker 5>He's just a regular dude here from Venezuela. He's here illegally,

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 5>but he's not a gang member and he shouldn't be

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:42.600
<v Speaker 5>thrown in that prison.

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. This tattoo is my favorite soccer team. I'm please

0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:47.720
<v Speaker 2>let me out of here now.

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if that happened or not, but that

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.599
<v Speaker 5>need is getting nailed down too, and obviously that would

0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 5>be horrific.

0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, beautiful example of what we're always talking about. If

0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.800
<v Speaker 2>you don't want the other side to exercise a power

0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 2>in way that you find horrifying, well then we can't either.

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 2>But it remains to be seen whether those accusations are true.

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Would NPR lie to us Jack more than that coming

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 2>up at the bottom of the hour, just horrific and

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 2>almost hilarious lying by the current head of NPR to

0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Congress yesterday.

0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 5>Well, our friend Tim Sanderfer's been tweeting out any and

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 5>all of those stories of people allegedly not gang members

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 5>or even really bad people who've got sent to that

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 5>really bad prison, and he's concerned about due process. I

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 5>don't want due process violated either, So let's get this

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 5>all figured out and nailed down. Part of the point

0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 5>of Christy Nome going and tour in that prison, though,

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.760
<v Speaker 5>and then having all that information come out about how

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 5>horrible that is is to have people who are here

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.960
<v Speaker 5>illegally think maybe I had to self deport. Maybe I

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.360
<v Speaker 5>ought to go back on my own and just go

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 5>back to living my life in Venezuela so I don't

0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 5>end up getting snatched off the street and set to

0:07:59.400 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 5>that prison.

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 2>I have a chance to say, hey, I'm not an

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Emma's thirty. Well she said as much. Why don't we

0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and run clip sixty five. This is the

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 2>secretary yourself want everybody.

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 1>To know if you come to our country illegally, this

0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:15.320
<v Speaker 1>is one of the consequences you could face. First of all,

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 1>do not come to our country illegally. You will be

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 1>removed and you will be prosecuted. But no that this

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 1>facility is one of the tools in our toolkit that

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>we will use if you commit crimes against the American people.

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I thought it was plenty when Biden

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:31.760
<v Speaker 2>just said, oh yeah, I was going to say, that's

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.280
<v Speaker 2>so let in millions and millions of people. That's the

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 2>only way don't works, whether you're a parent or copper,

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 2>whatever you are, is if there's actual evidence of a

0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:50.120
<v Speaker 2>repercussion for ignoring what you're saying. As my old bandmate

0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Bob used to put it, Bob was one of the

0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:56.040
<v Speaker 2>most sad and depressed individuals I've ever met in my life. Wow,

0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.720
<v Speaker 2>I dealt with public aid. He was a terrific guitar player, awesome,

0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 2>but he dealt with public aid in Champagne or Banna, Illinois.

0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember what's the name of the county, it

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:12.400
<v Speaker 2>doesn't matter. But he dealt with people all day long

0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.880
<v Speaker 2>who were on welfare and was trying to help them.

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Not beyond welfare manage their lives, become productive citizens the

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.319
<v Speaker 2>rest of it. And if you want soul crushing work,

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:25.839
<v Speaker 2>that's it. I got a family member doing that, and

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:30.119
<v Speaker 2>I'll be interested how long she can stay positive interacting

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 2>with that crowd. If you're under the illusion that everybody's

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:37.480
<v Speaker 2>trying their best and it's only the system holding them down,

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 2>spend a couple of weeks doing that. Anyway, it's old depressive.

0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Bob used to say, Joe, an order that doesn't include

0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:52.200
<v Speaker 2>a sanction is merely a suggestion. Yeah, so that.

0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, if you stand in front of one of those

0:09:56.200 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 5>prison cells where seventy people are stacked for deep poop

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:05.439
<v Speaker 5>it in front of each other, your don't has more

0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 5>meaning than if you're doing it from the oval office,

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.080
<v Speaker 5>and so far you haven't booted out a single human being.

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, I like how from Peter Doocey to the

0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.839
<v Speaker 2>Wall Street Journal they make a big h and to you, sarh,

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 2>they make a big deal of the fact that you

0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.200
<v Speaker 2>go to the bathroom in front of each other. Some

0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.760
<v Speaker 2>of the Marines they seem to be fine. You get

0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:23.200
<v Speaker 2>over it.

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 5>That I would not enjoy it at all, But that

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:32.360
<v Speaker 5>wouldn't be shortly after I'm in that cell. That wouldn't

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 5>be a high priority of my worries. No, my worry

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:43.560
<v Speaker 5>would be I'm going to be somebody's sexual release sweetheart, sweetheart,

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 5>or get your head caved in?

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:46.800
<v Speaker 6>Right?

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Given the choice, you know what? Can I borrow some lipstick?

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.200
<v Speaker 5>Can you imagine how real politicket is in one of

0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.360
<v Speaker 5>those cells where you got to figure out, Okay, I

0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.840
<v Speaker 5>got a band together with some sort of group. I

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.280
<v Speaker 5>can't be on my own? Which group do I band with?

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 5>Who's in charge? What's like American prisons too? To a

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.200
<v Speaker 5>large extent, Yeah, but this would be this would happen

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.680
<v Speaker 5>so fast. Well, and if you don't speak Spanish, good

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 5>luck to you, ombre. Can you imagine saying excuse me,

0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.480
<v Speaker 5>excuse me, I can tell your mad Can you translate

0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 5>that for me normal English? You got your Google translated appa?

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, you don't me meo no, no, sodomeo boy

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.760
<v Speaker 2>not helping, no, not helping more on the ways to

0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 2>hear anyway? Oh and two.

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 3>Armstrong hetty jacksmin Crockett claimed her hot wheels remark about

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:48.479
<v Speaker 3>Governor Abbott wasn't.

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.959
<v Speaker 2>About his wheelchair. Yeah, and when we call her a

0:11:52.000 --> 0:12:02.600
<v Speaker 2>lousy ho. We're referring to her skills as a gardener. Wait, wow,

0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:06.520
<v Speaker 2>that was a career ender three years ago.

0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:11.240
<v Speaker 8>I love it. As a woman, I love it. She sucks,

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:13.320
<v Speaker 8>so she made it.

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Do we have any evidence whatsoever that she is a

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 2>sex worker exchanges?

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.040
<v Speaker 5>Well, he didn't call her pleasures for cash or other

0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 5>items of worth.

0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.719
<v Speaker 8>He didn't call her a sex worker. Is that when

0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 8>we call her a wher, we're talking about your poor

0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 8>gardening skills.

0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.839
<v Speaker 2>And that's troubled effort at humor.

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.160
<v Speaker 8>That's because of what she said about Governor Abbit.

0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:39.719
<v Speaker 2>Right, yeah, said calling Governor hot wheels. Wasn't about the

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.360
<v Speaker 2>fact that he's in a wheelchair. Was about his using

0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 2>buses to deport illegals from Texas. No, there's her on

0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 2>the record calling him that years before the buses started.

0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:55.560
<v Speaker 2>She is a piece of gotabie. I don't know.

0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:57.960
<v Speaker 5>Maybe I'm just to the Maybe it's the air I

0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.200
<v Speaker 5>grew up, and I'm not comfortable with calling a woman

0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:00.720
<v Speaker 5>a hoe.

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:08.000
<v Speaker 2>You're making that giving the pathetic fire. Yeah, just stop it. Really,

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 2>a woman of color would have gotten you fired three

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 2>years ago. Make so you're saying it's just my age,

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 2>it's become.

0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:18.280
<v Speaker 5>It's like the way huh, I said, that's it just

0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.160
<v Speaker 5>because she's a woman of color who cares.

0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 2>We're all equal.

0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 8>Anybody can be a hope.

0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Because times change and I don't always like true don

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 2>every little girl can dream of that. Yes, right, I'm big.

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 5>Yes, times change, and I don't like the way times

0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.680
<v Speaker 5>change off. And since we're headed one way toward courser.

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.840
<v Speaker 5>But in terms of being in the entertainment industry, I

0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.520
<v Speaker 5>have to have an idea of what is acceptable and

0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.400
<v Speaker 5>what's not and for the sense purposes of humor. Like

0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.520
<v Speaker 5>when I was a kid, my parents wouldn't allow you

0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:45.920
<v Speaker 5>to say anything sucks.

0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh it's unthinkable to say on the air.

0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.600
<v Speaker 5>No, well, I wasn't allowed to say it in our house,

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:52.080
<v Speaker 5>and then I wouldn't say it on the air. Now

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.840
<v Speaker 5>everybody says it. I mean, it's just a hey, this sucks.

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:56.400
<v Speaker 5>I mean, it's just an expression of.

0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:57.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't like this.

0:13:57.160 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 5>It doesn't So if hoe has become that as like

0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.680
<v Speaker 5>an insult, because I know for my son and his friends,

0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 5>it's a pretty common thing to throw around.

0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:07.760
<v Speaker 8>I just bought a hat that says, my dog thinks

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:08.559
<v Speaker 8>you're a hoe.

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'll adjust my sales accordingly, Yeah, get a really

0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:15.560
<v Speaker 2>funny hat.

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:19.680
<v Speaker 8>It really is worth every site.

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Do you have something to add to that, Michael No, So,

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.360
<v Speaker 2>I hope you already bought your ninja sword in England

0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:31.280
<v Speaker 2>if you were planning to.

0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.320
<v Speaker 5>Because they've outlawed them. You can no longer buy a

0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:37.600
<v Speaker 5>ninja sword in England. According to care Starmer, the Prime Minister,

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.200
<v Speaker 5>knife crime is at at epidemic levels in Great Britain

0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 5>right now. Interesting. I wonder if that's a cultural immigration thing. Anyway,

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.600
<v Speaker 5>they're cracking down. You can't really hardly get guns in

0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.440
<v Speaker 5>England like you can here, so if you want to

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:54.480
<v Speaker 5>hurt somebody, you gotta use some elth Ninja swords will

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.640
<v Speaker 5>be banned as part of a purge on thugs owning

0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 5>dangerous knives. The labor leader said. He told the son

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:06.520
<v Speaker 5>that people of Britain are horrified at how easy it

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 5>is for you to buy a lethal blade of some

0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 5>sort online. So they're cracking down on machetes, ninja swords,

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 5>and zombie knives particularly.

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what a zk is. Never come across

0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 2>them a zombie knife is either. I'm not sure that's

0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:28.080
<v Speaker 2>the right approach to uh, squashing crime Britain. You know, weenies,

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.240
<v Speaker 2>zombie knife is like a dagger.

0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 8>It's just a straight edge dagger, like if you're running

0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 8>into a crowd of zombies.

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 2>You just you know.

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.360
<v Speaker 5>I don't quite get the sure everybody knows that I

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.360
<v Speaker 5>don't quite get knife flaws in general. I carry a

0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:42.720
<v Speaker 5>knife all the time. I carry a knife all the time,

0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:44.800
<v Speaker 5>and I'm very aware of various city knife laws, but

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:48.360
<v Speaker 5>they're all stupid. Like you know, I traveled between towns

0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 5>where they two and a half inch blade's okay, but

0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 5>a two and a quarter inch blades not okay. Then

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:53.840
<v Speaker 5>you go to the next down order a three inch blades.

0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:55.360
<v Speaker 5>I could kill you with any of them if I

0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:57.800
<v Speaker 5>was a nutcase and wanted to the idea that that

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:02.200
<v Speaker 5>tiny separation in length makes any differences nonsensical.

0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.720
<v Speaker 8>I went through TSA on accident with a knife once.

0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 8>That was a lot of fun.

0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, where'd you have it?

0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.480
<v Speaker 8>I was in my purse and I was going straight

0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.520
<v Speaker 8>from the morning show to the airport to fly to

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:13.400
<v Speaker 8>Southern California.

0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:15.400
<v Speaker 2>And who are you? Opened a stab? Why did you

0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.920
<v Speaker 2>have a knife? Do you carry an eye? Close that information?

0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:20.840
<v Speaker 5>Do you carry a knife like is for self protection

0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 5>or whatever all every day. Yeah, I have a knife

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:26.560
<v Speaker 5>every day too. My mind's somewhat self protection, but mostly

0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.840
<v Speaker 5>it just comes in handy all the time, uh, opening

0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:30.640
<v Speaker 5>a package or whatever.

0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.240
<v Speaker 2>I use it almost every day. But when I'm walking

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.440
<v Speaker 2>down the street and there's some crazy homeless lunatic, I

0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:37.320
<v Speaker 2>always tap my pocket. Yeah, I got my knife with me.

0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:39.880
<v Speaker 8>Yep, oh, he goes into my hand.

0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, as you know, I've had several corkscrews confiscated by

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.080
<v Speaker 2>the TSA, because you know, if you can get somebody

0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.040
<v Speaker 2>to hold still, you can just screw that thing right

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 2>in there and make your pop a noise?

0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:48.800
<v Speaker 6>Jack, would you?

0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Out comes their eye just like that. So they can't

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.440
<v Speaker 2>have me with that on an airliner, clearly. So yeah,

0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:57.880
<v Speaker 2>I've lost like four corkscrews through the air.

0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:02.160
<v Speaker 5>You're a big numbchuck guy too. Oh yeah, practice constantly.

0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:09.720
<v Speaker 5>If you haven't heard the leader of NPR grilled by Congress.

0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Yet, this is something I hope you can stay doing. Great,

0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:14.399
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and getty.

0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:20.359
<v Speaker 9>Perhaps for our most tricky disagreements, seeking the truth and

0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.439
<v Speaker 9>seeking to convince others of the truth might not be

0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.520
<v Speaker 9>the right place to start. In fact, a reverence for

0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:31.439
<v Speaker 9>the truth might be a distraction that's getting in the

0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:35.240
<v Speaker 9>way of finding common ground and getting things done.

0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:37.879
<v Speaker 5>That's a lady that runs NPR. I remember when she

0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:44.760
<v Speaker 5>got named the new top Marxist NPR. That clip came

0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:46.879
<v Speaker 5>out as an you know, as a warning to a

0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:48.879
<v Speaker 5>lot of us that this is what she believes about

0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:49.320
<v Speaker 5>the truth.

0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:53.800
<v Speaker 2>That's some wacky thinking right there. I would say, yeah,

0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:57.600
<v Speaker 2>as I said earlier, this woman is ilsa she wolf

0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:02.280
<v Speaker 2>of the SS. She is Stalin's unholy knife wielding mistress.

0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:07.280
<v Speaker 2>She is absolutely evil. And I want to share with

0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:10.760
<v Speaker 2>you a clip from James Lindsay, not a clip, but

0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:16.520
<v Speaker 2>a quote. He pointed out, Marxists just lie. They lie

0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:19.800
<v Speaker 2>so overtly and blatantly that people begin to question their

0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:23.280
<v Speaker 2>own perceptions. It works because no one expects another person

0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:28.000
<v Speaker 2>to lie so overtly. They don't look at conversation as

0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:29.960
<v Speaker 2>a way to reach the truth. They use it to

0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:34.320
<v Speaker 2>manipulate you. So you are going to hear this attractive

0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:40.040
<v Speaker 2>youngish woman lie and lie and lie with a smile

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:44.919
<v Speaker 2>on her face and her chin up. You're not nuts,

0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:50.960
<v Speaker 2>she is well If Representative Brandon gil took a turn

0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:52.920
<v Speaker 2>questioning or go ahead, Jack, are you going to say something?

0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:54.760
<v Speaker 5>I was just gonna say that that whole thing about

0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 5>the truth is obviously once you go down that road

0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:01.760
<v Speaker 5>of the truth's getting in the way. Okay, Now what

0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:04.200
<v Speaker 5>version of stories are we going to use? And who

0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:09.919
<v Speaker 5>determines that? And you feel like you should well, like

0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:11.720
<v Speaker 5>you know what, every.

0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Conversation ends roughly in the same place when you're talking

0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:22.639
<v Speaker 2>about Marxism, as Orwell warned us. If your north star

0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:26.360
<v Speaker 2>is not truth, for instance, it's what the party says,

0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:31.840
<v Speaker 2>they can take you anywhere, absolutely anywhere, anyway. Brandon Gill,

0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:35.439
<v Speaker 2>whose act I was not really familiar with, took the

0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:39.199
<v Speaker 2>lead in questioning her. This is a masterclass in how

0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:41.560
<v Speaker 2>these congressional hearings ought to go.

0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:45.520
<v Speaker 6>Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy?

0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:49.480
<v Speaker 10>I believe that I tweeted that, and as I've said earlier,

0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:52.000
<v Speaker 10>I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the

0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:53.040
<v Speaker 10>last half decade.

0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:55.280
<v Speaker 6>It has evolved. Why did you tweet that?

0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.800
<v Speaker 10>I don't recall the exact context, sir, so I wouldn't

0:19:58.800 --> 0:19:59.640
<v Speaker 10>be able to say.

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:03.280
<v Speaker 6>Okay, do you believe that America believes in black plunder

0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:04.440
<v Speaker 6>and white democracy?

0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:07.400
<v Speaker 10>I don't believe that, sir.

0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:10.239
<v Speaker 6>You tweet it bad. It's reference to a book you

0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:13.560
<v Speaker 6>were reading at the time, apparently, The Case for Reparations.

0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:15.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't think i've ever read that book, sir.

0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:19.720
<v Speaker 6>You tweeted about it. You said you took a day

0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:22.440
<v Speaker 6>off to fully read The Case for Reparations. You put

0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:24.520
<v Speaker 6>that on Twitter in January twenty twenty.

0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 10>I apologies. I don't recall that. I did. No doubt

0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:31.919
<v Speaker 10>that your tweet there is correct, but I don't recall.

0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:36.320
<v Speaker 5>Okay, man, my memory is bad, but there's not a chance.

0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:39.679
<v Speaker 5>I read a long nonfiction book that moves me to

0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:42.160
<v Speaker 5>the point of tweeting about it and taking the day off,

0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:43.680
<v Speaker 5>but I don't remember.

0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember reading that. Or then when you're asked,

0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:51.520
<v Speaker 2>well you said all this stuff, Well, I've had a

0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 2>change in my transition to my thinking or evolution whatever.

0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:56.680
<v Speaker 2>She said, Yeah, in what way and for what reasons?

0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:58.920
<v Speaker 2>What was it specifically that was screwed up with the

0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:01.960
<v Speaker 2>way you're thinking? She doesn't get there, does she? There's more?

0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:06.080
<v Speaker 6>Do you believe that white people and inherently feel superior

0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:09.600
<v Speaker 6>to other races? I do not. Don't you tweeted something

0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:12.879
<v Speaker 6>to that effect you said I grew up feeling superior. Ha,

0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:15.199
<v Speaker 6>how wide of me. Why did you tweet that?

0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.800
<v Speaker 10>I think I was probably reflecting on what it was

0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:21.840
<v Speaker 10>to be to grow up in an environment where I

0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:22.919
<v Speaker 10>had lots of advantages.

0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:25.920
<v Speaker 6>It sounds like you're saying that white people feel superior.

0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:29.159
<v Speaker 10>I don't believe that anybody feels that way, sir. I

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:31.040
<v Speaker 10>was just reflecting on my own experiences.

0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:33.280
<v Speaker 6>Do you think that white people should pay reparations?

0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:34.960
<v Speaker 10>I have never said that, sir.

0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:38.600
<v Speaker 6>Yes you did. You said it in January of twenty twenty.

0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:42.600
<v Speaker 6>You tweeted, yes, the North, yes, all of us, Yes, America, Yes,

0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:46.680
<v Speaker 6>our original collective sin and unpaid debt. Yes, reparations, yes

0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:47.359
<v Speaker 6>on this day.

0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:50.280
<v Speaker 10>I don't believe that was a reference to fiscal reparations, sir.

0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:52.480
<v Speaker 6>What kind of reparations was it a reference to.

0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:54.480
<v Speaker 10>I think it was just a reference to the idea

0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:57.000
<v Speaker 10>that we all owe much to the people who came

0:21:57.040 --> 0:21:58.160
<v Speaker 10>before us.

0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:03.600
<v Speaker 6>That's a bizarre way to what you tweeted. Okay, how

0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:07.480
<v Speaker 6>how many how much reparations have you personally paid, sir?

0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:10.720
<v Speaker 10>I don't believe that I've ever paid reparations.

0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:14.159
<v Speaker 6>Okay, just for everybody else. I'm not asking anyone to

0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:15.640
<v Speaker 6>be what you're suggesting.

0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:21.560
<v Speaker 5>So that was obviously a very interesting exchange. And I

0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:23.880
<v Speaker 5>didn't mean money when I said reparations. Okay, Well, that's

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:27.600
<v Speaker 5>what everybody means when they say it. Sondy, you covered

0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:31.239
<v Speaker 5>you in the book you read and recommended, and I

0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:34.600
<v Speaker 5>know how much NPR covered California's efforts to get reparations.

0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:36.360
<v Speaker 2>And that's all about money, sou.

0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:41.160
<v Speaker 5>Anyway, obviously, lie there one interesting thing about that though.

0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:45.639
<v Speaker 5>I did some reading her old tweets last night, and

0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:50.720
<v Speaker 5>about that book she's referencing. It's, uh, she's from the

0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:54.080
<v Speaker 5>Northeast and is talking about various states in the Northeast

0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:56.520
<v Speaker 5>and how they benefited from slavery but hit it better

0:22:57.000 --> 0:23:00.440
<v Speaker 5>and uh and in ways beyond what I'd even ever

0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:04.199
<v Speaker 5>read before. And that is something the North gets away with,

0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:08.359
<v Speaker 5>kind of a moral superiority over the South and their

0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 5>slaves and the cotton plantations everything like that.

0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:11.959
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, maybe a lot of your just regular working people,

0:23:16.200 --> 0:23:19.239
<v Speaker 2>but there was a lot of rich people in the

0:23:19.280 --> 0:23:22.920
<v Speaker 2>North benefiting from slavery and perfectly okay with it. Yeah,

0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:25.320
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, absolutely, yeah. I wasn't there at the time,

0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:28.560
<v Speaker 2>so I don't feel any guilt, but it's a good

0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:33.439
<v Speaker 2>historical point. Yeah. So she lies, and she lies and

0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:35.480
<v Speaker 2>she lies. She's she's very much like you have to

0:23:35.520 --> 0:23:39.520
<v Speaker 2>think of Catherine Mayer mar or she pronounces her name,

0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:46.280
<v Speaker 2>that could be. I suppose you got to think of

0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:49.520
<v Speaker 2>her as like a Soviet agent who's now being asked,

0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:52.119
<v Speaker 2>are you a Soviet agent? She's saying no. Do you

0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:55.280
<v Speaker 2>believe in Communism? Absolutely not. Do you love America? Of

0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 2>course I do. Yes. She's just lying. She's lying and

0:23:58.320 --> 0:23:58.880
<v Speaker 2>lying in lining.

0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:01.199
<v Speaker 5>So you think she believes in Marxism to the extent

0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:06.600
<v Speaker 5>that she thinks, Wow, I have really infiltrated a major

0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:11.480
<v Speaker 5>media center, and I have an opportunity to sway the

0:24:11.560 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 5>American public toward my belief system of tearing down the

0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:19.840
<v Speaker 5>evil capitalist blah blah blah.

0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, white supremacist blabla. She's had such a track

0:24:23.720 --> 0:24:26.280
<v Speaker 2>record of public statements, and again they're not like one

0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:29.240
<v Speaker 2>offs after a couple of cosmotinis or something like that.

0:24:29.640 --> 0:24:32.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean, she's a learned woman who has spoken at

0:24:32.800 --> 0:24:35.639
<v Speaker 2>length and in detail about what she believes. She is

0:24:35.680 --> 0:24:38.840
<v Speaker 2>not one of the well meaning soft heads of a

0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Davis California or a Madison Wisconsin, who's been convinced that, oh,

0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:47.720
<v Speaker 2>this worldview is how to be a good person, so

0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:49.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go along with it. No, she's she

0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:51.520
<v Speaker 2>knows precisely what she's doing.

0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:56.800
<v Speaker 5>She's in the extreme couple of percent of Americans in

0:24:56.880 --> 0:24:59.639
<v Speaker 5>terms of her politics, and she runs NPR, which is

0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:04.520
<v Speaker 5>on every town in America, no matter how tiny you are.

0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:07.600
<v Speaker 5>I know this because I'm from a lot of tiny towns.

0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:09.840
<v Speaker 5>No matter how tiny you are, you got a little

0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:14.640
<v Speaker 5>NPR station at least, and they're broadcast in their crap

0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:15.680
<v Speaker 5>to everybody.

0:25:15.760 --> 0:25:17.480
<v Speaker 2>And I listen to NPR every day and there's a

0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:19.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of really really really really good.

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:23.760
<v Speaker 5>Long form journalism on there, but there's also just a

0:25:23.920 --> 0:25:27.600
<v Speaker 5>ton of extreme nut job stuff.

0:25:28.280 --> 0:25:30.919
<v Speaker 2>Not according to ms Meyer Mauer, as we'll get to

0:25:30.960 --> 0:25:33.080
<v Speaker 2>in a moment or two, is Brandon gil Dunn. No,

0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:35.040
<v Speaker 2>he is not. One more clip.

0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:37.120
<v Speaker 6>Do you believe that looting is morally wrong?

0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:40.000
<v Speaker 10>I believe that looting is illegal, and I refer to

0:25:40.000 --> 0:25:42.080
<v Speaker 10>it as counterproductive. I think it should be prosecuted.

0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:43.680
<v Speaker 6>Do you believe it's morally wrong though?

0:25:43.880 --> 0:25:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Of course?

0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:46.560
<v Speaker 6>Of course, then why did you refer to it as

0:25:46.600 --> 0:25:50.920
<v Speaker 6>counter productive? A very different, very different way to describe it.

0:25:50.920 --> 0:25:54.159
<v Speaker 10>It is both morally wrong and counterproductive, as well as being.

0:25:54.080 --> 0:25:57.360
<v Speaker 6>Tweeted, it's hard to be mad about protests in reference

0:25:57.400 --> 0:26:01.639
<v Speaker 6>to the BLM protests not prior oritizing the private property

0:26:01.920 --> 0:26:05.399
<v Speaker 6>of a system of oppression. You didn't condemn the looting,

0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:10.400
<v Speaker 6>you said that it was counter productive. NPR also promoted

0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:12.880
<v Speaker 6>a book called Indefensive Looting. Do you think that that's

0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:14.679
<v Speaker 6>an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars.

0:26:15.400 --> 0:26:18.119
<v Speaker 10>I'm unfamiliar with that book, sir, and I don't believe

0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:20.200
<v Speaker 10>that was at my tweeted that you read that book.

0:26:21.240 --> 0:26:22.560
<v Speaker 10>I don't believe that I did read that.

0:26:22.840 --> 0:26:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, I mean it's it's sporderline laughable. It really is. Wait,

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:33.480
<v Speaker 2>I believe the looting is wrong. Should be a prosecuting

0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:37.520
<v Speaker 2>full extent in a law. Wait a minute, she's such

0:26:37.560 --> 0:26:42.760
<v Speaker 2>a liar. Oh boy, Oh Jim book, you tweeted that

0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:45.280
<v Speaker 2>you read it. Tell me what's going on? You promoted

0:26:45.280 --> 0:26:50.720
<v Speaker 2>it on your nationwide radio operation. How about Jim Jordan

0:26:50.840 --> 0:26:53.240
<v Speaker 2>roll up your sleeves, Jim, it's your shot next.

0:26:53.240 --> 0:26:53.560
<v Speaker 6>Buddy.

0:26:53.680 --> 0:26:57.639
<v Speaker 2>Seventy four is in PR biased Congressman.

0:26:57.760 --> 0:27:00.520
<v Speaker 10>I have never seen any instance of never of pro

0:27:00.680 --> 0:27:02.960
<v Speaker 10>political bias determining editorial decisions.

0:27:03.000 --> 0:27:10.320
<v Speaker 11>Now well, mister Berliner, in his story a couple last

0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:15.600
<v Speaker 11>year wrote, I've in the DC area editorial positions at NPR.

0:27:16.400 --> 0:27:17.840
<v Speaker 2>He said he found eighty.

0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:22.520
<v Speaker 11>Seven registered Democrats, zero Republicans. Mister Berliner, was he lying

0:27:22.560 --> 0:27:23.400
<v Speaker 11>when he wrote that.

0:27:23.680 --> 0:27:27.000
<v Speaker 10>I am not presuming such I just don't have We

0:27:27.040 --> 0:27:29.120
<v Speaker 10>don't track that information about our journalist.

0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:29.760
<v Speaker 2>Eighty seven to zero.

0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:32.760
<v Speaker 10>And you're not biased, Congressman. I do not believe we

0:27:32.960 --> 0:27:35.560
<v Speaker 10>are politically biased. No, we are a non partisan organization

0:27:35.680 --> 0:27:36.960
<v Speaker 10>on partisan organization.

0:27:37.640 --> 0:27:40.159
<v Speaker 2>That is something. Picture yourself saying that sort of thing

0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:43.359
<v Speaker 2>with a straight face. Does she not burst into flames

0:27:44.520 --> 0:27:47.280
<v Speaker 2>or at some point say I'm sorry, I can't keep

0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:50.680
<v Speaker 2>a straight face anymore. Of course we're biased. Oh my god,

0:27:50.720 --> 0:27:54.640
<v Speaker 2>I almost got through it. Marxists just lie. They lie

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:57.520
<v Speaker 2>so overtly and blatantly that people begin to question their

0:27:57.520 --> 0:27:58.160
<v Speaker 2>own perception.

0:27:58.280 --> 0:28:00.440
<v Speaker 5>The only way you could do that is if you're

0:28:00.520 --> 0:28:03.240
<v Speaker 5>so committed to the I've got to tear down this

0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:07.800
<v Speaker 5>evil system. People are hurting, people are starving, Little kids

0:28:07.800 --> 0:28:10.960
<v Speaker 5>of color are being ruined by white supremacy. I've got

0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:13.680
<v Speaker 5>to lie. You almost have to do it so this

0:28:13.760 --> 0:28:16.560
<v Speaker 5>is PBS. Not that's exactly the same as NPR, but

0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:19.760
<v Speaker 5>same sort of thing. They are being grilled yesterday too,

0:28:19.840 --> 0:28:23.560
<v Speaker 5>and these figures were out. The PBS coverage of the

0:28:23.600 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 5>Republican Convention was seventy two percent negative. The PBS coverage

0:28:28.600 --> 0:28:33.919
<v Speaker 5>of the DNC convention was eighty eight percent positive, so

0:28:34.080 --> 0:28:38.800
<v Speaker 5>ninety positive versus three quarters negative. I've never seen any bias.

0:28:40.360 --> 0:28:41.960
<v Speaker 5>How do you again, how do you say that with

0:28:42.000 --> 0:28:46.440
<v Speaker 5>a straight face? You just trying to hold your ground.

0:28:47.280 --> 0:28:51.280
<v Speaker 5>You will not give an inch because the glorious revolution

0:28:51.440 --> 0:28:56.120
<v Speaker 5>is coming. Of course, Ultimately, will any of their funding

0:28:56.120 --> 0:28:58.960
<v Speaker 5>get cut? Will they be any different six months from

0:28:58.960 --> 0:29:01.200
<v Speaker 5>now than what I heard some of the crap I

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:02.000
<v Speaker 5>heard this morning.

0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Probably not. I wonder about the funding. It could be that,

0:29:08.120 --> 0:29:10.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, the George Soroses of the world to step

0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:13.480
<v Speaker 2>up and supply, you know, to take care of that

0:29:13.520 --> 0:29:14.360
<v Speaker 2>deficit and funding.

0:29:14.720 --> 0:29:17.920
<v Speaker 5>Don't know, different worldviews. It's really really interesting. So I

0:29:17.960 --> 0:29:19.720
<v Speaker 5>got something good for tomorrow. I didn't want to do

0:29:19.760 --> 0:29:21.440
<v Speaker 5>it today since we had this and it had been

0:29:21.520 --> 0:29:24.880
<v Speaker 5>too much of the same flavor. But Ezra Kleine of

0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:29.760
<v Speaker 5>The New York Times was on Lex Friedman's podcast and

0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:32.280
<v Speaker 5>this is kind of a hilarious story. You're gonna play

0:29:32.760 --> 0:29:34.400
<v Speaker 5>just a little bit of it tomorrow. I mean, like

0:29:34.640 --> 0:29:37.760
<v Speaker 5>you only really need a minute. But so Ezra Klein

0:29:39.080 --> 0:29:44.360
<v Speaker 5>Lex Friedman is a really interesting dude, really nice guy

0:29:44.720 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 5>who just wants to understand and wants everybody to hear

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:50.880
<v Speaker 5>everybody's point of view so we can have rational conversations

0:29:50.880 --> 0:29:54.400
<v Speaker 5>everything like that. And he's ad on Elon and Trump

0:29:54.480 --> 0:29:57.760
<v Speaker 5>and Biden and I mean, anybody you want from any stripe,

0:29:58.000 --> 0:30:01.040
<v Speaker 5>and he angers lots of listeners when he has the

0:30:01.080 --> 0:30:02.360
<v Speaker 5>other people on AnyWho.

0:30:02.560 --> 0:30:04.520
<v Speaker 2>So he sets up ezraclined for The New York Times.

0:30:04.600 --> 0:30:07.680
<v Speaker 5>He said, this is one of the leading voices of

0:30:08.600 --> 0:30:10.840
<v Speaker 5>democrat thinking liberal thinking in America.

0:30:10.880 --> 0:30:12.480
<v Speaker 2>And we're going to talk to him for the next

0:30:12.520 --> 0:30:13.000
<v Speaker 2>couple hours.

0:30:13.000 --> 0:30:16.440
<v Speaker 5>And his first question is, lay out, as you see it,

0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:22.760
<v Speaker 5>the main tenants of your worldview, of the democratic worldview,

0:30:22.800 --> 0:30:25.920
<v Speaker 5>of the liberal worldview, just so people on the other side,

0:30:26.520 --> 0:30:29.160
<v Speaker 5>other side can understand it. And I was I was

0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:32.080
<v Speaker 5>thinking to myself, I'm getting dressed yesterday afternoon, I'm listening

0:30:32.120 --> 0:30:35.240
<v Speaker 5>to this, and I thought, Okay, I'm going to calmly

0:30:36.400 --> 0:30:38.520
<v Speaker 5>because as re Klein's super smart guy writes for The

0:30:38.560 --> 0:30:39.200
<v Speaker 5>New York Times.

0:30:39.240 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to calmly listen to it.

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:44.520
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to try to, like, really, you know, like

0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:46.880
<v Speaker 5>the same debate, be able to state the other side's

0:30:46.880 --> 0:30:50.240
<v Speaker 5>position to their you know, satisfaction.

0:30:50.760 --> 0:30:52.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to really try to listen. I didn't make

0:30:53.000 --> 0:30:57.600
<v Speaker 2>it fifteen seconds. I'm not kidding way. Do I play

0:30:57.640 --> 0:30:59.720
<v Speaker 2>it for you, Mari? You feel the same way. I

0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:03.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't really fifteen seconds before, I said, out loud in

0:31:03.080 --> 0:31:08.000
<v Speaker 2>my bedroom, you gotta be effing kidding me. Fifteen seconds

0:31:08.840 --> 0:31:12.160
<v Speaker 2>and do his answer? I take away as Jack as

0:31:12.200 --> 0:31:16.000
<v Speaker 2>a partisan maniac out loud in my bedroom. You gotta

0:31:16.000 --> 0:31:20.600
<v Speaker 2>be effing kidding me. I can't wait to play it tomorrow. Oh,

0:31:20.680 --> 0:31:24.640
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait to discuss it anyway. We will finish

0:31:24.720 --> 0:31:29.120
<v Speaker 2>strong next.

0:31:28.960 --> 0:31:32.520
<v Speaker 12>Now, Miss Kerger, the American people want to know. Is

0:31:32.560 --> 0:31:35.480
<v Speaker 12>Elmo now or has he ever been a member of

0:31:35.520 --> 0:31:36.560
<v Speaker 12>the Communist.

0:31:36.120 --> 0:31:37.480
<v Speaker 6>Party of the United States?

0:31:38.160 --> 0:31:38.560
<v Speaker 11>Yes? Or no?

0:31:39.200 --> 0:31:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Jeez to talk about cookie monster?

0:31:41.760 --> 0:31:44.560
<v Speaker 12>Now, we know that Hell Secretary RFK Junior is coming

0:31:44.600 --> 0:31:48.000
<v Speaker 12>out against fast food and baked goods. Are we silencing

0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:49.440
<v Speaker 12>pro cookie voters?

0:31:49.960 --> 0:31:51.360
<v Speaker 6>Yes or no? Miss Carger?

0:31:51.880 --> 0:31:57.360
<v Speaker 2>The cookies are a sometime food. So while the Republicans

0:31:57.400 --> 0:32:04.600
<v Speaker 2>are saying so called public broadcasting is a propaganda arm

0:32:04.680 --> 0:32:07.840
<v Speaker 2>of the Democratic Party, the Democrats acted like it was

0:32:07.840 --> 0:32:09.720
<v Speaker 2>a whole joke to even asked the question. A big

0:32:09.800 --> 0:32:12.600
<v Speaker 2>joke to ask the question. There's no good faith, there none.

0:32:12.760 --> 0:32:14.720
<v Speaker 2>How do you work with these people? How do you

0:32:14.760 --> 0:32:19.360
<v Speaker 2>reach across the aisle? It's just insulting. And by the way,

0:32:19.400 --> 0:32:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Elmo is red, I mean read the clues dead red.

0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:30.760
<v Speaker 5>Huh, Katie got a question for you, Eric, you comment

0:32:30.800 --> 0:32:36.000
<v Speaker 5>on this story from the Athletic in the New York Times.

0:32:36.880 --> 0:32:41.840
<v Speaker 5>It's about sports braziers. A man walked on the moon

0:32:42.080 --> 0:32:45.400
<v Speaker 5>a decade before a woman ran in a sports bra.

0:32:46.240 --> 0:32:49.160
<v Speaker 5>The sports bra was invented in the mid nineteen seventies

0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:54.640
<v Speaker 5>after women needed a quote, jockstrap for the boobs. It

0:32:54.680 --> 0:32:56.120
<v Speaker 5>continues to revolutionize.

0:32:56.160 --> 0:33:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Why do you need a metaphor just say all that's

0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:04.280
<v Speaker 2>supportive while engaged in sports a jockstrap for the boobs?

0:33:05.320 --> 0:33:07.240
<v Speaker 5>Because it's a man's centric word and we have to

0:33:07.280 --> 0:33:08.760
<v Speaker 5>you have to explain everything.

0:33:08.400 --> 0:33:11.640
<v Speaker 2>To me for work in a man's world. A man's

0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:15.040
<v Speaker 2>world exactly, James Brown put it. That's right. Yeah.

0:33:15.120 --> 0:33:18.160
<v Speaker 5>It continues to revolutionize sports and women's rights.

0:33:19.200 --> 0:33:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Uh so you need me for what here?

0:33:22.120 --> 0:33:22.360
<v Speaker 6>Jack?

0:33:22.480 --> 0:33:27.080
<v Speaker 5>I just I was, well, I don't. I don't wear

0:33:27.280 --> 0:33:29.800
<v Speaker 5>a sports brazier. I just wondered if they had perfected it.

0:33:29.840 --> 0:33:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Does it seem like there needs to be more revolutionizing

0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:35.080
<v Speaker 2>or is it it needs to be really.

0:33:35.040 --> 0:33:38.040
<v Speaker 8>Neat many need to be revolutionized. I will tell you

0:33:38.080 --> 0:33:40.840
<v Speaker 8>the best sports bra and I'm not just saying this

0:33:40.920 --> 0:33:43.880
<v Speaker 8>because I'm part of the show. Is the armstrnging yetyone

0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:44.680
<v Speaker 8>from the website.

0:33:44.720 --> 0:33:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, the a G shop. My daughter swears by it.

0:33:49.160 --> 0:33:51.479
<v Speaker 8>It doesn't have the pads that fall out when you

0:33:51.520 --> 0:33:52.520
<v Speaker 8>stick it in the washer.

0:33:52.640 --> 0:33:56.160
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to move anything. It's just good every time.

0:33:56.600 --> 0:33:59.880
<v Speaker 2>It's a jockstrap for the boobs. As you said, Sure, Jack,

0:34:00.360 --> 0:34:04.400
<v Speaker 2>that's what it is. Idiot weal, there's Jack Ganser's joke. Man,

0:34:04.480 --> 0:34:09.200
<v Speaker 2>it's time because the show with Katie Green and Michael Langelobe,
