1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 2 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong 3 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: and Jatte and now he Armstrong and Getty. 4 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 2: A deadly attack branded my authorities as terror at a 5 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 2: synagogue in the UK on the holiest day of the 6 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 2: Jewish year. 7 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,840 Speaker 1: Jan Kapor, you know, and I just I don't feel safe. 8 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 2: This morning, a man rammed a car into worshippers outside, 9 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 2: then got out and stabbed more with a knife. He 10 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 2: tried to get inside the sending On, but the door 11 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 2: was barricaded. 12 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 3: All those inside were safely contained until police were able 13 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 3: to confirm that it was safe to leave the premises. 14 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 4: So when we start the show every single day, we 15 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 4: maybe you don't hear the beginning of the show where 16 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 4: I say today we're under the tutelage of our general manager, 17 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 4: and then Joe names somebody who's our manager for the day, 18 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 4: usually a person or a vent or idea, and today. 19 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: It was anti Semitism worldwide. 20 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 4: I came across this post on Twitter from a guy 21 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 4: named Ashley Reinsburg, who I don't know. He writes for Substack. 22 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 4: He's an investigative officer journalist sort of writer person, and 23 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 4: he posted this. I thought it was really good yesterday afternoon. 24 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 4: This morning, as I sat in a London synagogue for 25 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,199 Speaker 4: Yam Kapur services, a friend sitting next to me said, 26 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 4: I reckon Jews of about ten years left in this country. 27 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 4: I said, I disagreed in that it's not as bad 28 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 4: as it seems. About twenty minutes later, the service was 29 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 4: suddenly interrupted. A synagogue security official went up to the 30 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 4: podium and said there had been a major incident in 31 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 4: the north and they were locking down this synagogue. There 32 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 4: was a buzz of fear. Children's services were canceled. We 33 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 4: were not to leave. My friend looked at me and said, 34 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 4: you see what I mean. Ten years in twenty twenty five, 35 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 4: two Jews were murdered for the crime of praying in 36 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 4: a synagogue in Britain. Truth is, I don't know a 37 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 4: single Jewish family in London. Now this is the important part, 38 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 4: because you got a liver to know this. Truth is, 39 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 4: I don't know a single Jewish family in London who 40 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 4: doesn't speak openly and often about leaving. These are died 41 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 4: in the woold Brits who love this country, but they 42 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 4: are watching the England they know disintegrate around them. British 43 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 4: Jews have lost the right to security and safety. The 44 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 4: response by authorities is to attack. To this attack is 45 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 4: to pledge more security at Jewish schools and synagogues. They're 46 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 4: just restating the problem. Why should Jewish kids go to 47 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 4: a school in London or Manchester under a flanks of 48 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 4: security guards. Why do synagogues need a rotation of specially 49 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 4: trained guards at every event? Jewish parents who pass bisecular 50 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 4: and non Jewish parochial schools might gaze and wonder, perhaps 51 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 4: envy at the sight of children entering their schools without 52 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 4: six or seven men in stab vests standing guard. And 53 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 4: Keir Starmer comes out with his valiant statement, we will 54 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 4: defeat anti semit they will tolerate it ally with it 55 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 4: reward its most virulent opponents. And the most insane part 56 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 4: is that I write this with the full knowledge that 57 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,839 Speaker 4: it's me who might get the knock on my door 58 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 4: from the police to ask me about this very tweet, 59 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 4: which I find which they find concerning right absolutely true. 60 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: Joe Rogan, God bless him, has joined me in railing 61 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: against the censorship of opinion in Britain. They are so 62 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: terrified of their Muslim population and so British in that, 63 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: you know, we're always very polite and do not wish 64 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: to give offense that people can't express legitimate concern about 65 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: the rise of a Islamism and b anti Semitism, anti Christianism, 66 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: rape of young girls, whatever. You can't bring those concerns 67 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: out publicly and it is horrifying. Well, how about the 68 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: fact that that the government would capitulate to that and 69 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: enable that as that writer was just describing, is I mean, 70 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: that is an unbelievable it's a really scary betrayal. 71 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 4: Well, how about he's sitting in the synagogue, guy next 72 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 4: to him says, I feel like Jews in London we 73 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 4: got about ten more years, and then the attack happens 74 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 4: at a different synagogue, and he says every Jewish person 75 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 4: he knows talks openly about having to leave Great Britain. 76 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's unbelievable. Yeah wow. 77 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 4: And then you combine that with the fact that by 78 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 4: saying that out loud, you might get a knock on 79 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 4: your door and end up in jail because there's no 80 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 4: free speech around this issue. 81 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: It's too inflammatory. Yeah, I mean, for the millionth time, 82 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: Islam is for many people a personal faith, like being 83 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: a Lutheran. It is also, for hundreds of millions of 84 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: people around the world, a religious system, a political system, 85 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: an economic system, and one that will be expanded even 86 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: if it's over the dead bodies of those who resist. 87 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: There are hundreds of millions of people who believe that 88 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: around the world. It's undeniable. And the problem is, especially 89 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: for good, decent, patriotic Muslim Americans or Brits, the problem 90 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,799 Speaker 1: is the second group masquerades is the first and tries 91 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: to convince you, oh, oh, hey, hey, we're just trying 92 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: to practice our faith, and if you express concern about 93 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: rape gangs in Manchester or whatever, you're an Islamophobe, a 94 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: term I never ever use. And they get people to 95 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: remain silent for fear of being branded bigots. And that's 96 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: a specific strategy by the we'll call them the bad guys. 97 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry. One more thing. There's a saying I 98 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: just became aware of fairly recently. But the idea is 99 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: I will demand freedom from you because those are your values. 100 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: When I have power, I will deny freedom to you 101 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: because those are my values and their values are out 102 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: there in the open if you look for them. But 103 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: it's it's a difficult wrestling match. I'll admit that. Yeah, 104 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: i'd say so. 105 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 4: A bunch of things we got to talk about over 106 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 4: the final couple hours of the show today, But I 107 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 4: like this one. Cracker Barrel has ended their partnership with 108 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 4: the consulting firm behind the logo change after intense backlash. 109 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: Not a surprise. 110 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 4: Hey, I think we're not going to renew your contract 111 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 4: because you came up with this idea that had everybody 112 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 4: in the entire freaking country talking about us in a 113 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 4: negative way every day for like a week and everything 114 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 4: was fine. 115 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: So clean out your death. Everybody hated your ideas. Everybody 116 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: you know who hated them the most are core customers. 117 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: So with you, the people who love us most were 118 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,679 Speaker 1: the most upset. So they've gotten rid of their PR firm. 119 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: Oh and then the PR firm, how are they going 120 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: to pitch themselves with somebody else? Yeah, we came up. 121 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 4: With the whole taking Uncle Harold off the Cracker Barrel 122 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 4: or logo or whatever that was. 123 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: No, you gotta change your name and just try to 124 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: reinvent yourself or something. Lie just lie. Oh No, that 125 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: wasn't us. So this is about a snippet length that 126 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: I thought y'all would enjoy. It's it's almost a little game. 127 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna read you something and then there's gonna be 128 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: like a dot dot dot and you're gonna fill in 129 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: the blank, and the blank's like a sentence. Okay, here 130 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,679 Speaker 1: we go. Hmm. It's about the fact that the first 131 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: Friday each month, economists and investors and policymakers usually are 132 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: studying the latest government jobs report, but not today because 133 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: of the shutdown. Means the Bureau Labor Statistics is in 134 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: issuing reports, sending anyone eager to learn more about the 135 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: recently sluggish job market scrambling for alternatives. Nothing entirely fits 136 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: the bill, but a proliferation of alternatives that stats are 137 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: helping to fill the gaps. There's Payroll Processor ADP, which 138 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: uses data for more than twenty six million workers at 139 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: ADP customer firms to gauge employments. Job Posting Site indeed 140 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: produces an alternative to the BLS's Jobs Opening Report, and 141 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: newcomer Revellio Labs uses figures from networking platforms to get 142 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: readings on measures including employment, salaries, hiring, an attrition, and 143 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: if you combine that, you get really really accurate data. 144 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: So dot dot dot big Foot, Why the how are 145 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: we spending zillions of dollars to have the government do it? 146 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: Especially because the government's methodology is to send out these 147 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: surveys that we've been talking about that back in the 148 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: day they got really good compliance, but now only a 149 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: small percentage of people companies send them back, and those 150 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: that do are frequently, you know, a month and a 151 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: half late, which is why there's always those giant revisions. Well, 152 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: how about we just stop. 153 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 4: It's like I said the other day, if the best 154 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 4: thing you got to scare me about the government shut 155 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 4: down is the numbers not coming out today, all right, Well, 156 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 4: I guess it's not as big a deal as I thought. 157 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 4: I mean, it's even a smaller deal than I thought. 158 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 4: If that's your best scare me sort of story, woo. 159 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 4: So you'll either use this number that Joe just described, 160 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 4: or you'll wait like three days and get the number. 161 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: Whooped, de crap. How about I go to any college 162 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: or university you name, find a grad student in a 163 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: stats program, and say, hey, can you take these four 164 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: measures and like come up with a five number? That 165 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: people can understand. For how the job market's doing, it'd say, yeah, 166 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: give me three days and we would have it the 167 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: private sector.

So a 195 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: couple of tales of blue cities, some of the pearls 196 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: of the West Coast. First of all, Portland, briefly great 197 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: writing in the New York Times, I'm sorry. The New 198 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: York Post inside the Antifa siege on in war zone 199 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: Portland videosstance to the National Guard. You see the videos 200 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: from last night. I finally did yeah, absolute violent insanity. 201 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: Portland is out of control. Yeah, violent Antifa criminals, writes 202 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: the Post, have laid siege to the Ice Detention Center 203 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: in Portland, Oregon, for over one hundred days. Every night, 204 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: the encampment of wacos last loud music, engage in anti 205 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: government chants over loud speakers and megaphones, violently clashed with 206 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: law enforcement officers. Rever breaks around the neighborhood, and the 207 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: word is the local cops have been told don't help 208 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: the Feds. They're on their own. That's right, And you know, 209 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: we can go big on the serious aspect of this 210 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: another time, but I thought this was really interesting. They 211 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: talk about Antifa and defining Antifa and nailing down who's 212 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: in Antifa. They're intentionally decentralized, and they carry burner phones. 213 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: They have subgroups and stuff like like revolutionary groups have 214 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: for years and years and years. Read Witness by Witter 215 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: ker Chambers Witness. That was the name of it, right anyway, 216 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: most have no traceable online presence, carry burner phones, et cetera. Currently, 217 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: they occupy a city block and are reported to have 218 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: set up a safe house on Lowell Street in Portland 219 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: for anyone in doubt. One person who's been around the 220 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: Antifa camp by the Ice facility explained to quote, most 221 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: of them are on a lot of medication. They get 222 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: very violent. It's crazy how violent it gets, especially at night. 223 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: As soon as it gets dark. They feel like they 224 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: can get away with breaking the laws world country at night. 225 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 4: You know what makes them think that getting away with 226 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 4: violating the law for years. 227 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: But they talk about how a lot of it is 228 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: illegal immigration, activist Hispanic types, but a lot of like 229 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: angry just post adolescent adderall addicted, you know, quirky white 230 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: kids from the suburbs decided to become brave revolutionaries. That's interesting. 231 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 4: Did you see that Apple took the ice Tracker app 232 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 4: out of the store. 233 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: You can't. 234 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 4: Oh, they took it off, which they don't usually cooperate 235 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 4: with like law enforcement stuff, which I admire about Apple, 236 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 4: but the government asked them to take that down because 237 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 4: people were using the app and it had one point 238 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 4: one million downloads. This app to where you know, if 239 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 4: you saw ice on your street, corner or whatever, you 240 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 4: could put it on the app to let people know 241 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 4: where they were. And obviously the argument from the Trump 242 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 4: White House was this was putting ice officers in danger 243 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 4: and et cetera, and Apple agreed to take it out 244 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 4: of the store. Well, the Rose city of Oregon is 245 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 4: of Portland, Reather has become the Antifa city, So let's 246 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 4: move on to San Francisco. I thought this was interesting 247 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 4: and it really illustrates the difference between liberty and license, 248 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 4: which license is a word that like political science people 249 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 4: use and fancy writers in a way that nobody else uses. 250 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 4: The word liberty means you can do what you want 251 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 4: as long as you don't hurt other people or violate 252 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 4: the norms society or the law or whatever. License means 253 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 4: you can do whatever the f you want and damn 254 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 4: the consequences. The title of this is America's most dog 255 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 4: friendly city has had enough and they we have a 256 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 4: lot of examples. 257 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: Rose loves dogs. The violinists grew up with sled dogs 258 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: in Alaska. She stops to pet dogs on the street. 259 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: She had to raid her love on a scale of 260 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: one to ten, it would be a ten. But Rose 261 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: twenty nine is start thinking maybe San Francisco is two 262 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: dog friendly. Well. She and a friend were having coffee 263 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: at Alamo Square Park, a lovely spot. The pair were 264 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: approached by five different off leash dogs in an area 265 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: that required dogs to be leashed. The final visitor, a 266 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: golden retriever, center over the edge quote. It literally launched 267 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: itself at my pastry, cut its mouth all over it, 268 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: and covered it with drool. The dog's owner saw the 269 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: whole thing and just kept walking. Oh God, you gotta 270 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: be kidding. 271 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 4: No, you're not even a sorry about that, or I'll 272 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 4: buy you another one that's weak. 273 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: Virginia may be for lovers, but San Francisco is for 274 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: dog lovers. Sprawling green spaces, treats behind every shop counter, 275 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: and beaches where canines can run and splash in the surf. 276 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: But dog lovers, dog haters, and the dog neutral are 277 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: finding themselves in an uncomfortable alliance against a contingent they 278 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: say is exploiting the city's tolerance. This is the life thing. 279 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: I'm just so annoyed. 280 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 4: I've always been annoyed by people who think their dogs 281 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 4: are in control enough, and then they aren't. Obviously very 282 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 4: few dogs are. And then they just stand there and say, Puffy, Puffy, 283 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 4: stop it, Puffy, stop it right now, as their dog 284 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 4: does whatever. 285 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: The help wants. You read the writer's mind, pause her up. 286 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: On the counters and coffee shops, no one flinches croissant's 287 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: being stolen out of the hands of hungry diners by 288 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: hungry or black labs. The aisles of Target and Trader 289 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: Joe's are full of service animals in quotes that can't 290 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: seem to recall much, if any, of their trading had 291 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: some good sarcasm, and they quote a bunch of dog lovers. 292 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: It's like you got dogs crapping everywhere, eating food off 293 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: the table at restaurants. This is insane. It is insane. 294 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 4: Wow, San Francisco has turned a corner. No more street people, 295 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 4: at least around the nice stores, and can do something 296 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 4: about the dogs everywhere. 297 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: Let's go in the right direction. It's like the voters 298 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: of San Francisco have finally found the courage to say 299 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: there's such a thing as too. 300 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 4: Much Yeah, okay, which is good to know. Which is 301 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 4: good to know for all the other cities that need 302 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 4: to come to the same realization. 303 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty, is this hacking you as a communist? 304 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: Are you?

Yes, and I 312 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 6: tell them to think about the words of doctor King 313 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 6: from decades ago. He said, call it democracy or call 314 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 6: it democratic socialism.

It's a 323 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 4: common communist thing. You pursue equity by dragging everyone down 324 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 4: to the lowest common denominator, right zor run monadnie. 325 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: All right, there's one of his brilliant supporters there. So 326 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: that's interesting. 327 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 4: Did you read the Douglas Murray piece yesterday about Republicans 328 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 4: be careful what you wish for, No, sir, because there's 329 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 4: a lot of people like I think you and I 330 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 4: have said this.

Let him be the face of the Democratic 332 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 4: Party for the next however many years. 333 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: Good luck with that. Discredit their policies for another generation 334 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: or two. 335 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 4: And Douglas Murray's thing was, yeah, well he might get 336 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 4: in power and a lot of people follow him. And 337 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,360 Speaker 4: the Socialists have always been pretty successful with. 338 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: Because even if the policies fail. 339 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 4: Blaming it on well, we didn't go far enough, they 340 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 4: didn't give enough. 341 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: Power or money. He said, that's the whole socialist thing. 342 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 4: The only way it still exists is people saying, well, 343 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 4: it hasn't been tried properly, because every place that's been tried, 344 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 4: it's failed and usually led to deaths of tens of 345 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 4: millions of people. But you get to say, well, it 346 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 4: just hasn't been tried properly. He gets in office and 347 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 4: runs that, well, we just haven't been able to do 348 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 4: it all the way and could win a couple elections 349 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 4: in our own. 350 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 1: And do some serious damage. Yikes, yikes. So it's beyond 351 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: question there's a war for the soul of the Democratic 352 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 1: Party going on right now. And while there's part of 353 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 1: me that wants them to go ahead and be the 354 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: party of Mumdanni in AOC, I mean, to whatever extent 355 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 1: they get power, it ruins people's lives. Think of all 356 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: the super bright little kids in New York City who 357 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: would be part of that gifted program, but they don't 358 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: have rich parents, they can't really afford private schools. They're 359 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: depending on the government schools to stimulate them, give them 360 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: advanced math, science classes, the STEM stuff we're always hearing about. Well, 361 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: m Donnie's going to take all of that away, and 362 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: you can't do a redo with that generation of kids anyway. 363 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: Having said that, the clear voice on the other side 364 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party is increasingly not Dopey cohn Man, 365 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, but Ram Emmanuel, who published an opinion piece 366 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: in the Journal that I reference but didn't share with you. 367 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: Democrats need an education reset, and I tell you what 368 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 1: America would be better if his voice becomes the dominant 369 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: voice in democratic politics. Never mind you know his sins 370 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: of the past or whether he wins or loses. But 371 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: he opens with describing that data that was released in 372 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: September that we talked about. He said it should have 373 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 1: lit Washington a blade. The National report Card is exactly 374 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: which tracks education results across the country, reveals to student 375 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: performance and is falling in math reading scores below where 376 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: they were in nineteen ninety two, as best as I 377 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: can tell. He writes, neither the President nor the National Governors' 378 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: Association is treated this like the crisis it is. We 379 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: should be as angry about the silence as we are 380 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 1: about the scores. Actually, the Trump administration has talked about it, 381 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: but the governor's part, well, anyway, his point is few 382 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: things are more important than ensuring every American student can 383 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: read by third grade and do basic math by eighth. 384 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: Then he takes a stupid shot. Republicans would rather privatize 385 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: than fix our public education system. Well, that's because Ron, 386 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: we don't think it's fixable, then he says. And Democrats 387 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: must realize that if money alone could solve the problem, 388 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: every American student would be a National Merit scholar. We've 389 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: written too many blank checks, particularly following COVID, without ensuring 390 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 1: results or accountability for the investment. We've spent the past 391 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: five years debating pronouns without noticing that too many students 392 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: can't tell you what a pronoun is. That's a good line, 393 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: and the US has been more focused on whether a 394 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: school is named for Abraham Lincoln then whether students can 395 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: tell you why he is an American giant. We've become 396 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: so obsessed with bathroom access that we've ignored classroom excellence. 397 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: America has lost the plot. Democrats need to refocus on 398 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: the fundamentals in the elementary years, when it comes to 399 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: high school. We need to be pursuing fundamental reforms. He 400 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 1: is one hundred percent. 401 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 4: I wonder how much blowback he's been getting privately, or 402 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 4: I'll bet that's the other way more. He doesn't care 403 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 4: about the blowback. I guarantee you, I'll bet more. He's 404 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 4: getting big money people who are saying, yes, you need 405 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 4: to run. You can count on me. I will be 406 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 4: a joint. Then he brags about the Chicago schools. Oh, oh, 407 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 4: here you go. This is important, he says. 408 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: For decades, when pollsters asked voters which party they trusted 409 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: more on education, Democrats maintained on average of fourteen point advantage. 410 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: More recently that gap closed than flipped to favor Republicans. 411 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: That's in part because we made the grave error of 412 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: refusing to reopen schools during the pandemic, even when the 413 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: evidence suggested it was safe. 414 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 4: Oh my god, Oh my god. I would vote for 415 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 4: him over any other Democrat. 416 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Well, and then you know he makes the 417 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: point that you missed a chance with those kids. 418 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 4: You cannot make that up. God, that is such a 419 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,959 Speaker 4: crime against humanity, It really is. Oh my god. I 420 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 4: was just I just had a little vision of him 421 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 4: on the debate stage with Gavin Newsom, who was captain 422 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 4: shut down the schools and let Ram just rip him 423 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 4: a new air piece. Oh yes, do it, Gavin, get 424 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 4: on the stage with Rama Manuel and talk about why 425 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 4: it was important to keep the schools shut down. Oh 426 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 4: my god, anytimes we all fall short sometimes. 427 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 1: And and Kamala as if she won't get as a. 428 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 4: Friend, I'm not your friend. But if I were a friend, 429 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 4: I would say, don't. Don't get on a debate stage 430 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 4: with Rama Manuel. Don't don't, don't do that. 431 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: Here's more. We drove up graduation rates and test scores 432 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: by focusing. Oh that's in Chicago. The teachers unions, Brad 433 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: disagreed with my approach. That's fine. The results speak for themselves. 434 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 1: That's as close as he gets to really blasting the teachers' unions. 435 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: But it's notable. And he talks about how in Chicago 436 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: they just returned to fundamentals. He talks about the Mississippi 437 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: miracle and how it's real. How has the Magnolia State 438 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: risen from forty ninth to ninth by not only discarding 439 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: whole language literacy methods but training teachers to employ the 440 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: strategies that define the science of reading, providing for tutors, 441 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: summer literacy camps, holding schools accountable for testing results, and 442 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 1: kids who can't read a by the third grader are 443 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: held back. This is classic. You know, I actually believe 444 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: he believes this stuff. Why did you? 445 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 4: Because I've been following him for years. He's been saying 446 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 4: the same sort of thing forever. 447 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: But interestingly, just as a guy who studies politics, it 448 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: is just absolutely Bill Clinton triangulating. This is a Democrat 449 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: bellowing that we got to quit teaching the genderbred person 450 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: and pretending these kids are learning. We need to get 451 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 1: the Teachers' Union to back the hell up. We need 452 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: to teach fundamentals and phonics right now. 453 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 4: He's going to be a formidable candidate. Yeah, his biggest 454 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 4: challenge is going to be getting through the Democratic primary. 455 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: But oh, the Randy Winingartens of the world, they're polishing 456 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: up their weaponry to go after him as quick as 457 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 1: they can. 458 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 4: Can he get enough normal Democrats in a primary to 459 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 4: come out and say we got to turn away from 460 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 4: the AOC trans weirdos. 461 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I wonder. You know. The good news is, 462 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: no matter what happens with rom unless he gets swept 463 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: aside and is seen as a joke. It's sad, but 464 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: it's true. It's a lot easier for conservative ideas to 465 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: catch hold and do the good that they're intended to 466 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: do if you get some buy in from moderate Democrats 467 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: and moderate people in the media. Makes it easier. And 468 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: so I love hearing Rama Manuel saying things that are 469 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: plainly true. 470 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, and such good news that if he ends up 471 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 4: being the candidate, you know, if the Democrats end up 472 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 4: winning the White House, that it's not a crazy person. 473 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 4: It's not a Kamala Harris, it's not. 474 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: A Joe Biden. 475 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 4: Well, I don't even know what Joe Biden was. Dementia 476 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 4: ridden for one thing. 477 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was a puppet being manipulated by his young staffers. 478 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 4: Rama Manuel is not going to raise his hand on 479 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 4: the debate stage with everybody else for free health care 480 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 4: for illegals whatever, free sex changes for criminals in prison. 481 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 1: Right, and all that stuff. Yeah, I imagine a candidate 482 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: who actually has principles and ideas on the Democratic side. Again, 483 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,479 Speaker 1: I don't love all of them, but man, what an 484 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: upgrade from Kamalin Biden. 485 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 4: Good, Like you said the other day, you end up 486 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 4: with Ram Emanuel and JD Vance in a debate. Man, 487 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 4: we have upgraded a lot. 488 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, go on, now you're a simpleton. 489 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 4: Oh man, that is funny. Take a shot at it, 490 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 4: just to do what you can. One thing I want 491 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 4: to mention. Do I have time to mention it here? 492 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: I don't know? Do I want to? Probably? Does anybody 493 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: really know what time it is? I think I've given up? Wow, 494 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: somebody marked the calendar. Jack gave up October just on 495 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 1: the time end date on the politics conversations. I just 496 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 1: had a bunch of notes and I thought I can't 497 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: talk about anymore. It's Friday. I heard that I was listening. 498 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: Oh you know, I'm sorry. One more note on that 499 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: San Francisco dog story that I found really interesting than 500 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: we were talking about last segment. If you missed it, 501 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: subscribe to the podcast Armstrong and Getting on the Band. 502 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 1: Is a bunch of people say that not very long ago, 503 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: if a dog was misbehaving, the dog owners around and say, 504 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: hey man, that's not cool. You know, if we're going 505 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 1: to have dogs here, we've got to blah blah blah. 506 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 1: But they said COVID just any sense of social cohesion 507 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 1: in the very very blue San Francisco that shut down 508 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: like crazy and etcetera. Therea, nobody says anything to anybody anymore. 509 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: Now people just turn their back and say, I'm not 510 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 1: getting involved. That's surprising. 511 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 4: You wouldn't think among adults that a couple of years 512 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 4: of shutdown would alter your behavior that much, but apparently did. 513 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. I wish I had the expertise or wisdom to 514 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 1: explain why that would be. It makes sense, but I 515 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: don't know why. People just got disconnected from each other. Yeah, 516 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: we forgot how to be people. Trump made a hell 517 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 1: of a statement. He's a drawn a line in the 518 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: sand on the whole Hamas deal six o'clock East Coast time, 519 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: Sunday evening, yes or no Hamas or Israel's going to 520 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: release all hell with Trump's backing. That is what he 521 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: said today, And we got a little more on that, 522 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: among other things on the. 523 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 4: Way I forget this. 524 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 3: In a new video, the head of Insane said, I 525 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 3: swear we do not listen to your microphones. I want 526 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 3: to believe them, but I just asked someone if Instagram 527 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 3: is listening to me, and that video popped up. Apparently 528 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 3: Instagram doesn't listen to people it's for their microphones. Meanwhile, 529 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 3: Apple and Amazon are like, just keep your head down, 530 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 3: don't make eye contact, don't make eye contact. 531 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 4: It's just impossible to believe that the that if a 532 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 4: company can listen to you or watch you, that they're not. 533 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: Well right and they agree to terms thing that we 534 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: all click on. It says, by the way, we'll lie 535 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: to you constantly about whether we're monitoring you, and you're 536 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: gonna take it right. 537 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 4: Okay, updates on a couple of the wars that we've 538 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 4: got skin in the game in. First of all this 539 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 4: you know the big peace proposal that Trump put forward 540 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 4: that everyone from Fox to NPR liked, but Hamas needs 541 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 4: to sign on to. Well, he has drawn a deadline 542 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 4: six o'clock DC times Sunday, yes or no. And he 543 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 4: said in his long truth social post today, more than 544 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 4: twenty five thousand Hamas soldiers have already been killed. Most 545 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 4: of the rest are surrounded and militarily trapped, just waiting 546 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 4: for me to give the word go for their lives 547 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 4: to be quickly extinguished. As for the rest, we know 548 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 4: where you are, who you are, and you'll be hunted 549 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 4: down and killed. Well, that's pretty unequivocal. It's not exactly 550 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 4: Obama esque high flutant rhetoric. Release the hostages, all of 551 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 4: them now, including the bodies of those that are dead, 552 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 4: and agreement must be reached by six o'clock. Every country 553 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 4: is signed on. If this last chance agreement is not reached, 554 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 4: all hell like no one has ever seen before will 555 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 4: break out against Hamas. There will be piece in them 556 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 4: at least one way or the other. Trump said, So 557 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 4: that's quite a thing, right right. And what's really interesting, 558 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 4: I heard a great podcast. The host was talking to 559 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 4: an Israeli leader, not currently in charge, but and this 560 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 4: person has dealt a lot with the governments around the 561 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 4: region and all of the big ones, you know, NBS, 562 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 4: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, even cutter, are like, Hey, if 563 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 4: we could just kind of end this whole thing one 564 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 4: way or the other, that would be fine. Then we 565 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 4: can do business. 566 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: We just can't deal with you while it's a flame. 567 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 4: So on the other wall or that we have stake in. 568 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 4: We mentioned earlier this week that Trump apparently is signed 569 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 4: off on Tomahawk missiles, which have an incredible range more 570 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 4: than twelve hundred miles way beyond Moscow and into parts 571 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 4: of Russia to be able to hit their energy sources, 572 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 4: and that seems to be the plan for NATO, and 573 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 4: the United States is backing that. The Telegraph reporting yesterday 574 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 4: that oil production has been cut thirty seven percent in 575 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 4: the last month, with Ukraine going after Russia's oil already already. Yeah, 576 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 4: so all that leads to this. This is in the 577 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 4: New York Times. President Putin yesterday said that Russia had 578 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 4: no plans to invade NATO countries. Amid alarm over confirmed 579 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 4: and suspected Russian drone incursions from Poland to Denmark in 580 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 4: recent weeks. After the airspace violation, some European leaders have 581 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 4: said that the continent has entered its most perilous moment 582 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 4: in many decades. 583 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: NATO nations are moving to beef up. 584 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 4: Aerial defenses that they believe Russia has been probing for weaknesses. 585 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 4: Speaking at an international relations conference in Russia, Putin lashed 586 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 4: out at European elites for whipping up the hysteria about 587 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 4: the Russian threat. It looks as if a war with 588 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 4: Russians is just around the corner. They keep repeating this 589 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 4: mantra over and over again, he said in televised remarks 590 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 4: that is classic Putin. That's the sort of thing he 591 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 4: did leading up to invading Ukraine. Sure, they're calling for this, 592 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 4: they're creating the hysteria because he's assembling the troops and 593 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 4: doing all the things, and then he ends up doing 594 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 4: the thing that they were being hysterical about. It turns 595 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 4: out it wasn't hysteria. It was proper caution. But I 596 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 4: thought it was interesting. Mark Hauprin's analysis of that from 597 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 4: the New York Times was the story of NATO pretending 598 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,479 Speaker 4: Russia hasn't triggered articles four and five remains the biggest 599 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 4: story on the planet besides everything China. I thought that 600 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 4: was interesting. So Article four is the any country and 601 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 4: NATO can call a meeting of everyone on which you'd 602 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 4: have thought would happen around all of this multiple times, 603 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 4: and then article five being if one is attacked, all 604 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 4: are attacked, because like three or four different nations have 605 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 4: had what you could definitely describe as an attack if 606 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:40,239 Speaker 4: you wanted to. 607 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: By Russia, Yeah, yeah, wow, definitely is on the edge 608 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: of something that could spiral a lot of control, no doubt. 609 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 4: Well, if his oil has been decimated that much, and 610 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 4: Trump is talking about go ahead, go after the oil infrastructure, 611 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 4: the energy infrastructure, and we're given the missiles they hit it. 612 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, there isn't isn't going to be no pushback on that, right, 613 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 7: although what form the pushback takes is the critical question. 614 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: Course, you know, as Stalinoffen said, take your bayonet and 615 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,479 Speaker 1: test where you find a mush, push where you find 616 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: steel withdraw and you know, I know some of you 617 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: in good conscience think, look, it's Ukraine, doesn't matter to 618 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 1: the US. You know, it's Europe. We can't worry about it. 619 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: We're going to ask Layton call it because World War three, 620 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: And there are plenty of people who and we can 621 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: still be friends, who think you let Putin get away 622 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,959 Speaker 1: with it, you guarantee more horror to come. 623 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's going to get more exciting though the next 624 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 4: couple of weeks, unless you think Putin's gonna say, well, 625 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 4: I guess they're serious about this. 626 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: I better back off. He's running out of oil and 627 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: men and maybe political support. As you've often said, if 628 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 1: something can't go on forever, it will end. 629 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 4: Right anyway, those are two exciting stories to follow for 630 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 4: the entire weekend. 631 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was more fun talking about dogs stealing people's donuts. 632 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 4: Taylor swifts outboard if you miss a segment or now, 633 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,320 Speaker 4: or get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand 634 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty
