1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty and Key Armstrong and Yetty. 4 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 3: A New York longevity clinic has announced recently we'll offer 5 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 3: a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars annual membership that 6 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 3: includes anti aging treatments. You ever noticed how it's only 7 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 3: super wealthy people who want to live longer. That's why 8 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 3: anti aging treatments are a quarter million dollars. But a 9 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 3: Taco Bell Supreme Lox boxes five ninety nine. 10 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 2: Here's a ten, take me out. I'm not even sure 11 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 2: get this. 12 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 4: So a lot of what drives news cycles is the 13 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 4: way a story is presented or the way it gets 14 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 4: spun and how it catches on. I think this is 15 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 4: good news for the current administration that the inflation numbers 16 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 4: are out. It's down, it's a tiny amount, but it 17 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 4: beat expectations, whatever that means. But here's how CNN is 18 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 4: presenting it, and this has got it. But Trump's got 19 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 4: to be happy to see this. US inflation slowed in 20 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 4: February for first time in four months. I mean, that's 21 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 4: a good headline for a administration that's two months old. 22 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, particularly given the concerns about the tariff stuff 23 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: and trade stuff that it might drive up prices. 24 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good, it's good. 25 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 4: But if you're barely paying attention, which is probably the 26 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 4: CNN viewer at the airport, you know, seeing that inflation 27 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 4: has slowed for the first time, you'd have to think, well, 28 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 4: I guess Trump's doing a good job. 29 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: If CNN hadn't somehow gotten into airports, would they even 30 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: still be in business? 31 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: Good question, That is a good one. I mean I 32 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: rarely find myself with the urge to go there. Yeah, 33 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 2: that's a good point. 34 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: Coming up what may be the greatest hellilariously self beclowning 35 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: academic paper in the history. And it's a rich, rich history. 36 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: Friends of this sort of thing coming up later in 37 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: the hour. Cool, did you have something else you want 38 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: to mention? 39 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 2: Or that was that? Okay?

Worried about what it's going to do to 45 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: the economy and business, small business and big business and 46 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: where it all ends. 47 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: And what his plan is. 48 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 4: Having said that, my four oh one K, you know 49 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 4: anybody who says that, or any reporters who say that, 50 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 4: they're either morons or deliberately being misleading. 51 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay. 52 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 4: Anytime, not just with this, with any with anything looking 53 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 4: at your four oh one K today. 54 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: Who's looking at the four to one K every day? 55 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: And why if you want to make a ride joke 56 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: about by four one ks three oh one, kay, okay, 57 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: that's fine, But yeah, to talk seriously about it day 58 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: to day is insanity. But there are a handful of 59 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: other things going on that I think are absolutely wonderful, 60 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: and you know, I. 61 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 2: Just I hope we can get a lot done. 62 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: We the same in America, you know before I don't 63 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: know some of the. 64 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 2: Rapid rapid change. 65 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: Maybe Disroyal derails us anyway, Washington, d C crews have 66 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,839 Speaker 1: begun dismantling the Black Lives Matter Plaza in DC, which 67 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: will be replaced with projects celebrating America's two hundred and 68 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary that includes artwork by local artists. This comes 69 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: after House Republicans pressured the communist mayor Muriel Bowserd or 70 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: removed the plaza, which features bold yellow lettering spelling black 71 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: Lives Matter, advertising a Marxist organization that is bent on overthrowing. 72 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: The United States. 73 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. 74 00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, always separating the sentiment from the organization, but generally, 75 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 4: you know, it's the organization that you're seeing on signs 76 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 4: and that sort of thing. We are talking about an 77 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 4: old radio colleague yesterday and we're wondering if he's still alive, 78 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 4: and I googled him real quick and found his Twitter 79 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 4: feed and he's got a Black Lives Matter thing on, 80 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 4: you know, pinned on his avatar, Like, what do you 81 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 4: not follow the news? 82 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 2: They're criminals? 83 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, no kidding and avowed Marxists, which reminds me I 84 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: was gonna get into something else right now. 85 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: But this is the fits so beautifully. 86 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: It's it's somebody summarizing a nineteen ninety seven book, The 87 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: Foundations of Geopolitics by Alexander Duggan Dugan who wrote it's 88 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: about Russia and and their. 89 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 2: What would you call it? You know, I hate that misinformation. 90 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: Disinformation has been so abused, but there they're psy ops 91 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: against their opponents. Around the world, and they've been famous 92 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: for it from you know, Soviet times through modern times 93 00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: are very very aggressive about it. 94 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: But I here's the quote from the book. 95 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: Russia should introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging 96 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, 97 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: actively supporting all dissident movements, extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, 98 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: thus destabilizing internal political processes in the US. It would 99 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics. 100 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: And then a Learning to commenter commented, I once interviewed 101 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: a US military analyst whose focus was Russian influence campaigns, 102 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: and one of the most surprising things he told me 103 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: was that Russia doesn't push Americans to the left or 104 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: right I would interject, or toward Trump or Hillary or whatever, 105 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: or even in a pro Russian direction. 106 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 2: Rather, it pushes Americans in all. 107 00:05:53,440 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: Directions every sort of dissent and dissidence and anger they 108 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,799 Speaker 1: want to fuel all the time. That's the strategy. Anyway, 109 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: I thought that was interesting. Getting back to the A 110 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, do you want to comment on that before 111 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: we move on? Now? 112 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 4: It's troubling, and I just I wonder if we're clever 113 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 4: enough to resist that. I bounce around social media, I 114 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 4: would say no. 115 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think, And I see Russian bots and 116 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: Russian influenced commentators on Twitter all the time, and it's 117 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: it's been successful to the extent that. And if you're 118 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: ever on social media, first of all, stop than I 119 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: should do. You will see people who agree on eighty 120 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: seven percent of everything absolutely in a brutal knife fight 121 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: over that last thirteen percent. And that is the Russian goal, 122 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: absolutely true. Moving along, Tom Holman, the ass kicking borders are, 123 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: has said he wants two hundred work site checks for 124 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants every week, two hundred a week across the 125 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: country to begin enforcing immigration law. 126 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 4: You know, it's shocking that this is at all shocking, right, 127 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 4: that we don't enforce immigration law. That Congress passes laws 128 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 4: and then we don't paying attention to them. And even 129 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 4: more than that, we act as if it's an abhorrent 130 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 4: and bizarre to enforce the law. And some cities, counties, 131 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 4: or states say how dare you. 132 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: Which reminds me clip seventy Michael. This is Christy Nome, 133 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: the head of the Apartment of Homeland Security Secretary. 134 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 2: I think is the technical. 135 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: Term looking disconcertingly glamorous. In this message paid for by 136 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: the DHS. 137 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 5: I'm Christine Noam, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. 138 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 5: Thank you President Ronald J. Trump for securing our border, 139 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 5: for deporting criminal illegal immigrants, and for putting America first. 140 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 5: President Trump has a clear message for those that are 141 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 5: in our country illegally. 142 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 6: Leave now. 143 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 5: If you don't, we will find you, and we will 144 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 5: deport you. You will never return. For too long week, 145 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 5: politicians left our borders wide open. They flooded our communities 146 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 5: with drugs, human trafficking, and violent criminals. They put American 147 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 5: lives at risk. Well, those days are over. If you 148 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 5: leave now, you may have an opportunity to return and 149 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 5: enjoy our freedom and live the American dream. But understand this. 150 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 5: Under President Trump, America's borders are closed to lawbreakers. Follow 151 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 5: the law and you'll find opportunity. Break it and you'll 152 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 5: find consequences. The choice is yours. America welcomes those who 153 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 5: respect our laws because a strong nation is a safe nation. 154 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,719 Speaker 1: Music is going to give me a panic attack. It's 155 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: inspired me. I'm waving a flag right now. That was 156 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: an official message. Of the Department of Homeland Security. 157 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 4: Is that a message to illegals or is that a 158 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 4: message to everyone that look what we're accomplishing. 159 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: Yes, gotcha, Yeah, yeah, I think both absolutely true. And 160 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: so the concern, and again this is not if you're 161 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: new to the show, you maybe don't get this yet. 162 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: I'm neither going to cheerlead one hundred percent of the 163 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: time for Trump, nor criticism criticize him one hundred percent 164 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: in the policies and his administration doesn't make any sense. 165 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: The concern in the business community is that everybody's kind 166 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: of agreed we need lots and lots of immigrant labor, 167 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: and there's no time to fill out the paperwork. And 168 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: everybody knows there's millions of illegals and they're filling millions 169 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: and millions of jobs, and industry and hotels and hospitality. 170 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 1: We're all kind of in on this together, and now 171 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: you're going to yank them out all of a sudden. 172 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: That is going to really hurt the economy.

They've turned it 186 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: into a self deportation tool. They have relaunched the Biden 187 00:10:55,640 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: administration's smartphone application.

Turns out he's having some 254 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 4: sort of aneurism I'd never heard of, which very few 255 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,479 Speaker 4: people survive, and he barely did. He's at the hospital, 256 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 4: he starts slipping away. As he's in the blurb for 257 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 4: his book, he says, were worth pointing out a confirmed 258 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 4: lifelong atheist who grow up as an atheist himself, and 259 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 4: he's not religious now, but still as an atheist, you 260 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 4: don't tend to believe in this sort of thing. He's 261 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 4: slipping away there at the hospital, and he was visited 262 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 4: by his dead dad who said, it's okay, there's nothing 263 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 4: to be scared of. I'll take care of you. That's 264 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 4: the last thing he remembers until he came to the 265 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 4: next day, when he was told he had suffered a 266 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 4: ruptured aneurysm that f you survived, and since then he 267 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 4: has done a deep dive on the scientific philosophical question 268 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 4: of is there something after we die? And all kinds 269 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 4: of people have had similar experiences and all that sort 270 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 4: of stuff, which I find interesting. He is definitely a 271 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 4: believer there's more now, and he was talking about it 272 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 4: and the way he presented it, and I thought this 273 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 4: was really interesting. 274 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 2: And I don't remember if his him or the host. 275 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 4: This idea of we look at the world the way 276 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 4: a dog looks at the TV screen. The dog has 277 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 4: no idea that there's so much going on behind that 278 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 4: TV screen to make that happen, that it's being piped 279 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 4: in for somewhere else, and there's actors in the script 280 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 4: and all. 281 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 2: These different things. 282 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 4: Just you know, that's the world to that dog, that 283 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 4: that's the way it is for us. The reality we're 284 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 4: seeing is just like the veneer over something much bigger 285 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 4: on the other side of it that we'll all become 286 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 4: aware of once we pass along. And I find that 287 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 4: notion fascinating. I believe, I actually do believe there's something 288 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 4: like that. But we got to have him on for 289 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 4: a podcast or something. Oh yeah, my gosh, what could 290 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 4: be more compelling than that? 291 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 2: Very few things? Yeah? 292 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: Oh well, I have a number of thoughts on the topic, 293 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: but very little time to express them. So I will 294 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: what's that phrase, maintain my own counsel. 295 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 2: Do you have a science shut up in old timey talking? 296 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 4: Are you gonna go with some sort of scientific explanation 297 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 4: for why if we get enough blood cut off, we 298 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 4: I don't know, miss our dead relatives or something I 299 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 4: don't know. 300 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: In virtually the same way through all of human history 301 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: seeing those who've gone before us welcoming us. I mean, 302 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: that's a little universal and experience to be a coincidence, 303 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: says the logical part of my brain. Right, I am fully, 304 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: flamingly agnostic on this question and fascinated by it. 305 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: I'm not And if you don't agree with me, you're 306 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 2: clearly wrong.

I think anyway, 346 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: I want to get to Gavin Newsom's actual history on 347 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: this stuff in a sense, but it's worth pointing out. 348 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: In the one hundred meter dash, the women's world records 349 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: are equaled by fifteen year old boys. Two hundred meters, 350 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: the women's world records is equaled by fourteen year old 351 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 1: boys four hundred meters, fourteen year old boys on through 352 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: eight hundred meters, fourteen year olds thousand meters, fifteen year olds, 353 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: et cetera. Every single woman's record has been tied or 354 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: bested by a fourteen or fifteen year old lad, not 355 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: even full grown to male strength. Anybody who's ever run 356 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: into a strong boy knows it's not the same as 357 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 1: a strong man. 358 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I understand your point. 359 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 4: But as at my son's volleyball game the other day, 360 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 4: is funny watching the high school volleyball dudes. I mean 361 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 4: there's some saying to somebody, well, I hope his kids 362 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 4: are here watching him play, because he's really doing a 363 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 4: good job. I mean, he looked like he was thirty. 364 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 4: It's funny how some people developed so much faster. 365 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, and by the time you're eighteen. I mean, 366 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: that's one of my points is there's a difference. But anyway, 367 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: so great piece by John Girardi in the National Review. 368 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: Don't be fooled. Gavin Newsom is no moderate on trans issues. 369 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: I just don't think he has any beliefs whatsoever. But 370 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: as they noted last week, Newsom is not likely to 371 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: actually reverse any California laws that allow students to participate 372 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: in sports on the basis of gender identity, and the 373 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: commentariat largely understand that his change of heart is transparently insincere. 374 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: But we should also note John Wrights that Newsom's record 375 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: of signing far more harmful legislation to house males in 376 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: women's correctional facilities with predictably devastating consequences, consequences that are 377 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 1: on full display in a Central California rape trial. I 378 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: love this writing twenty COVID dictator Newsom took a break 379 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: from destroying businesses, permanently setting back public school achievement, and 380 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: violating Californians free exercise rights to sign SB one point two, 381 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: the Transgender Respect, Agency and Dignity Law, a law mandating 382 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 1: that inmates in California correctional facilities be housed on the 383 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: basis of their gender identity. The naivete of thinking that 384 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: convicted male felons wouldn't immediately exploit this new law in 385 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: order to rape female inmates was breathtaking. And this, of 386 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: course is exactly what happened, and we could go into 387 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: the awful, awful. 388 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 2: Details of it. I can imagine. Yeah, I mean, you 389 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:40,199 Speaker 2: got this. 390 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: Tremaine Carroll, a man who claims to identify as a woman, 391 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: raped three women allegedly in the Central Californians Women's facility 392 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: in Choutchilla, California. The three victims were all former cellmates 393 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: of Carrol, one of whom became pregnant. 394 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 4: Man and you're you're a woman in prison, quite possibly 395 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 4: you had a rough one your whole life, and then 396 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 4: all of a sudden you're in jail and they put 397 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 4: a rapist dude in there with you. 398 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: Yes, because he says I'm a woman now and the 399 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: governor believes him. 400 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 2: That's like torture. That is just torturing people, right. 401 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: And one of the reasons, one of a couple of 402 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: reasons this hasn't generated enormous outrage because generally speaking, you 403 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: need to have at least a little bit of buying 404 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: from the bigfoot media to really generate enormous outrage. Is 405 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: that prisoners convicts don't get a lot of sympathy. But 406 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: if somebody, you know, committed tax fraud or sold drugs 407 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: in their hood or whatever and got busted and did 408 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: a little bit of time, the idea that a man 409 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 1: can check in next to them and rape them, check 410 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 1: into the cell with them or next to them, rape 411 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: that's horrific. And there is evidence that Carol simply lied. 412 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: This is the rapist about quote unquote identifying as a 413 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 1: woman so he could be housed with women and rape them. 414 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: He kept the masculine first name Tremaine. He's not undergone 415 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: or requested any transgender surgeries or hormonal interventions. He had 416 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: a goatee and his not at all feminine mug shop. Well, 417 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: on top of it all, he'd been charged with prior 418 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: sex crimes, raping women at gunpoint. 419 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 4: That's an interesting point, I guess. But as long as 420 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 4: the person has a penis, they shouldn't be in the 421 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 4: female prison. 422 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're right. I'm not saying at all that 423 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: that should be the standard. I see your point, and 424 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: it's a good one. What I'm saying is this demonstrates 425 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: the utter bizarre lack of common sense in regard by 426 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom and his people. Literally, all it takes is 427 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: you fill out a form says I'm a girl now, 428 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: and you get put in the women's presence. 429 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 2: It's there is a certain. 430 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: Percentage of the audience right now, Jack listening and saying 431 00:23:55,119 --> 00:24:00,160 Speaker 1: that can't be. That can't be because it's so insane. 432 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: I promise you this now. I'm going to bring it 433 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: to you. Courtesy of Angie, It writes what does she 434 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 1: write something this is solid candidate for a campus madness 435 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: or gender bending madness feature here or both enjoy or 436 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: drink whatever, which I thought was funny, and she says 437 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: pretty sure it's not written by James Lindsay. 438 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 2: Lol. 439 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: Well I looked into it and it is actually written 440 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: by a woman by the name of Chloe Diamond Lenau 441 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: who's on the faculty of American University. She is an 442 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 1: adjunct professor orial lecturer in Women's and Gender studies. Here's 443 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: your title, Queer Canine Becomings, Lesbian Feminists, Cyborg Politics and 444 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: Interspecies Intimacies in Ecologies of Love and Violence. Now, as 445 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: if that wasn't a mouthful enough. 446 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 2: Women having sex with dogs? 447 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: No, no, you bigot and misogynist, and. 448 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 2: I'm printing over there. Oh, let's see. 449 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: So that's the title, Queer Canine Becomings, Lesbian Feminist, Cyborg 450 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: Politics and Interspecies, Intimacies and Ecologies. 451 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 2: Of Love and Violence. Again, that's the title. 452 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 1: Here's the abstract, which describes what they're studying. 453 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 2: This old trope. Do we need another study of that? 454 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 2: Do we all kind of feel like. 455 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:39,719 Speaker 1: We play this game yesterday with a lecture series? This 456 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: is the soft sciences are fake sciences. There are hardly 457 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: sciences at all, in fact that they occasionally poll people. 458 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,719 Speaker 1: But the idea that social science is a science is 459 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 1: a strange bun. And what are you going to play 460 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 1: this game where you count on your fingers and your 461 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,479 Speaker 1: toes and Katie, you get to play along again if 462 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: you want. How many terms and or phrases you hear 463 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: that you have no idea what they are? 464 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 2: All? Right? Here we go. Now this is going to 465 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 2: take a second, but enjoy. 466 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: This article offers a queer lesbian feminist analysis attuned to lesbian, 467 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: queer trans canine relationships. Specifically, the article places queer and 468 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: lesbian ecofeminism in conversation with Donna Harroway's work on the 469 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: cyborg what Now and companion species to theorize the interconnected 470 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: queer becomings of people, nature, animals, and machines amidst ecologies 471 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: of love and violence in the twenty twenties. It takes 472 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: two key case studies as the focus for analysis, first 473 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: the state instrumental instrumentalization of dogs and robot dogs for 474 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: racialized and imperial violence, and second, quotitian queer and lesbian 475 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:55,239 Speaker 1: dog relationships and becomings. Keep in mind this is not 476 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: a joke. Well it is, but it's not. In the 477 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: first the article traces how dogs are weaponized as tools 478 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: of state violence and proposes a queer lesbian feminist critique 479 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: of white supremacy and militarization. 480 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 2: They can also extend he. 481 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 4: Got some white supremacy in there, turned it racial. 482 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I worked it in midway. Yeah. 483 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: In militarization, they can also extend to a critique of 484 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: the violence committed through and towards the dogs. In the second, 485 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 1: the article analyzes how, within lesbian, non binary and trans 486 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: dog intimacies, is that like a transgender dog where I mean, 487 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: my dog got his balls removed, but he's not a woman. 488 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: He's still a male dog. Katie is just exhausted by this. 489 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 4: I just I almost want to try to read it. 490 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure I couldn't get very far, but 491 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 4: I almost want to try to read it. 492 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: I know, Katie, as the kids say, I can't even Yeah, oh, 493 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 1: let's see. 494 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 2: I got to finish it. 495 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: In the second, the article analyzes how within lesbian, non 496 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: binary and trans dog intimacies, dogs help articulate queer gender 497 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: sexuality and kinship formations, and as how much queer worlds 498 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: for gender sexual and kN becomings.
