WEBVTT - For the Love of a Deformed Raccoon! 

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Arm Strong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty. I

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 2>was at the CBS yesterday and they got their Halloween

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 2>displays up? What is going on there? Have we ever

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 2>figured that out? Has anybody ever figured that out? Is

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 2>that just to put way back in the back of

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:39.920
<v Speaker 2>your mind when Halloween finally gets here. This is where

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 2>you can get your candy that's part of it, or

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 2>just get you first. Is there anybody who's buying their

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Calloween candy practically July?

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:51.240
<v Speaker 3>That would be odd.

0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Now the giant I happen to be at a big

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>box hardware store the other day. Holy Cow decorations are

0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 1>so cool these days. Halloween de expensive. Oh yeah, the

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.559
<v Speaker 1>big giant ghouls and ghosts that are now that's feet

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>high in.

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.919
<v Speaker 2>That's slightly different because the popular ones have been selling

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 2>out every year.

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Right, And that's infrastructure. But candy is is is combustible.

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 2>The bags of Little Snickers are there on the shelf

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 2>year round. You now just have a giant Halloween display

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 2>next to it for those of you who need big

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 2>bags of candy.

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 3>All the time.

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 2>I just I just don't quite understand what's going on.

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 2>But is there anybody that's happy with that? Everybody I've

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 2>ever known? In myself, I grown when I see Christmas

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 2>stuff in August or Halloween stuff in July, I don't

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 2>get happy about I think.

0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 3>What you're happy boost sales? Does it?

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Though? I just find it? I find it ard to

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>believe anyway? For the first time ever, And I want

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 2>to talk about this later because this is an interesting topic.

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>For the first time ever, on your list of things

0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 2>you probably shouldn't do, there are more daily pots smokers

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 2>than daily cigarette smokers or alcohol drinkers for the first

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:09.920
<v Speaker 2>time ever in nation's history. Wow, and people's attitudes, at

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 2>least among the elite, have switched. It would seem on

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 2>whether or not pot is just perfectly okay, don't worry

0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.080
<v Speaker 2>about it. It seems like we're deciding it ain't the

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 2>greatest for you, and we ought to take another look

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 2>at this.

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.239
<v Speaker 1>Seems to be burn one down and relax. Yeah, seems

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>to be a direction it's going. Yeah, I would agree. Interesting,

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>So we'll get to that.

0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:30.360
<v Speaker 3>Believe it or not.

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk at least briefly about doctor Anthony Fauci.

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I've come across new perspectives that have really opened my

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>eyes to a couple of things. But first, well as

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>an introduction future NFL Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers, I'm.

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:53.800
<v Speaker 4>Gonna plead the fifth okay, oka like that, absolute coward,

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 4>absolute yeah, are you kidding me?

0:02:58.200 --> 0:02:58.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 4>You got a pardon and you're in front of you,

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 4>And pleaded over a hundred times, spent in the entire

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 4>time writing in his diary about how fun it is

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 4>to be famous.

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 2>You gotta be kidding me. Okay, So on that note,

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:10.959
<v Speaker 2>what are you gonna say about me?

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:11.239
<v Speaker 5>Now?

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, if I hire Aaron Rodgers, I'd want him

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 2>to focus only on football, because I'm paying him for that.

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>But if I am Aaron Rodgers and I've got more

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 2>money than eighteen families could spend on a binge in

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:27.120
<v Speaker 2>a lifetime, I'm gonna say whatever the hell I want exactly.

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 2>And remember, Aaron Rodgers was banned from playing or suspended

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 2>or whatever because he is a healthy young man at

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 2>zero risk of serious negative outcome, was forced to take

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 2>the jab or he couldn't make his living, and he's

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.840
<v Speaker 2>pissed off about it anyway. Some of the stuff I

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 2>saw in the Fauci diary that I didn't see over

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 2>to the week until the weekend, where he was aware

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 2>earlier than he obviously ever said out loud that the

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 2>get in the vaccine didn't really stop the transmission, you

0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 2>know a lot of other things. It made it less

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 2>like you were going to get really sick or die,

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 2>which we talked about all the time. But the transmitting

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 2>it and stuff like that, that was the excuse for

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 2>mandating it. Nope, they knew that. That didn't make much difference.

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I finally got a chance to read The Fabulous Nelly

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Bowles comments on some of the revelations of last week,

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.240
<v Speaker 1>and she points out that nobody ever thought it was

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:21.120
<v Speaker 1>the wet market. Not really, the scientists didn't. They just

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 1>pitched that as a as a cover up, and the

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 1>completely incurious media who was part of the cover up

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:32.840
<v Speaker 1>will never admit it. She also goes on that he

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:36.599
<v Speaker 1>knew almost immediately COVID's case fatality rate was pretty low.

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 1>He said, this is acting like a bad influenza, and

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 1>it's transmissibility and the fatality rate is more like zero

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 1>point two percent rather than two percent. But schools were closed,

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 1>careers were lost, suicide spiked, etc. And all of those

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.480
<v Speaker 1>revelations will only be very likely reported on She writes.

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.480
<v Speaker 1>There's currently a TV news blackout on the story except

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>on Fox News of course. Here's one analysis mentions of

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Fauci on the air July twenty fifth through twenty eight,

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>when the whole diary thing came out, it was there

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:10.280
<v Speaker 1>was an hour and thirty nine minutes of coverage on

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:15.159
<v Speaker 1>Fox News. On CNN there was less than two minutes. Wow,

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:21.599
<v Speaker 1>CBS News thirty three seconds, MSNBC thirty two seconds, CBS

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.040
<v Speaker 1>six that's a local station, thirty one seconds.

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 2>That is amazing. You couldn't get more than thirty seconds

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:33.200
<v Speaker 2>out of interesting stuff in your mind out of seeing

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.920
<v Speaker 2>that entry from January of two thousand.

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.880
<v Speaker 1>The most explained cataclysm that's ever hit mankind.

0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Where he said it's now known that it didn't have

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 2>a natural origin.

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 3>Right. Wow?

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so that it that it wasn't the wet market certainly. Yeah.

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I when the diaries came out thought, and I still

0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 1>think this to some extent, we need to focus on

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the origin and the cover up of the origin, and

0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>the constitutional rights that were squashed. And I thought the

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.520
<v Speaker 1>whole Wow, look how famous I am. Famous, people love me,

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm super popular.

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 3>Stuff.

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.640
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was pathetic, but I thought it was

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:20.040
<v Speaker 1>a distraction from the serious, serious stuff that we should

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.279
<v Speaker 1>be talking about, in terms of the COVID reaction and

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the traveling, constitutional rights and economics and people's emotions and

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 1>the kids and.

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 3>The rest of it.

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:32.840
<v Speaker 1>I still think that, although I've shaded my opinion a

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 1>little bit. Nelly goes into great detail about how he

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:40.839
<v Speaker 1>really really loved being a celebrity and he was being worshiped,

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.919
<v Speaker 1>how there was a cult of Fauci, and goes into

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.159
<v Speaker 1>some great detail, and she's a wonderful writer. I'm going

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 1>to skip that though, because I wanted to get to this,

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's from the fabulous Peggy Noonan who mentions Fowery.

0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 1>She writes about Fauci's diaries and Jack give us the

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.600
<v Speaker 1>quick a ten second version of the Diaries of Samuel peeps.

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Ah. He was a writer in around sixteen sixty. He

0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 2>kept the daily diary of life in London at a

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 2>time of great political turmoil and a plague and everything else.

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Some of the most.

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 3>Interesting great Fire of London too.

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, some of the most interesting things that ever happened

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 2>in London's history happened while this guy, who was a

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 2>great writer was taking a daily diary. And it's an

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:28.240
<v Speaker 2>incredible glimpse into that time and place.

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>And he was in his late twenties and thirties, for

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.880
<v Speaker 1>what it's worth. But I found this really insightful. Insightful,

0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.800
<v Speaker 1>So peeps, and it's spelled pepys. If you want to

0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 1>read the diaries, Jack says, they're brilliant. It looks like peppists,

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.560
<v Speaker 1>but it's peeps. He watched the Great Fire from the

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Tower of London, near where he lived, and came to

0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 1>grasp with shock the size and scale of it. In

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 1>a famous passage on September the second of sixteen sixty six,

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.480
<v Speaker 1>he described seeing quote poor people staying in their houses

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 1>as long as till the very fire touched them, and

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 1>then running into boats. They're clambering from one pair of

0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.640
<v Speaker 1>stairs by the water side to another, along other things.

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 1>The poor pigeons, I perceive, were loath to leave their houses,

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 1>but hovered above the windows and balconies till they were

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Some of them burned their wings and fell down. He

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.239
<v Speaker 1>recorded all the chaos around him. His writing was jagged

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.800
<v Speaker 1>in real time. He reported what he'd seen to King

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Charles the Second. He was also an eyewitness to the

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 1>plague of sixteen sixty five, which took an estimated one

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand lives, which was a quarter of the population

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:30.720
<v Speaker 1>of London in eighteen months. He records empty streets and

0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.679
<v Speaker 1>carts collecting the dead. On June seventh, he passes the

0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:37.040
<v Speaker 1>homes of the quarantine. Quote this day, much against my will,

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.439
<v Speaker 1>I did in Drury Lane see two or three houses

0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 1>marked with a red cross upon the doors, and Lord

0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:45.199
<v Speaker 1>have mercy upon us written there. He was pained and frightened.

0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>He'd never seen such a thing. Then, Peggy Noonan writes,

0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.120
<v Speaker 1>within this frame, elast I read the first five months

0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:55.679
<v Speaker 1>of doctor Fauci's pandemic diary as I. As has been reported,

0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.560
<v Speaker 1>it isn't about witnessing or capturing the size and scale

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.719
<v Speaker 1>of a crisis, or feeling shocked anxiety.

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:01.840
<v Speaker 3>It's about other things.

0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 1>His super a List Party House speaker Nancy Pelosi hugging

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:10.079
<v Speaker 1>him and kissing him, and another President Trump tells doctor Fauci,

0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.560
<v Speaker 1>lou Dobbs told me you were the one of the smartest, knowledgeable,

0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.679
<v Speaker 1>and outstanding person he knows. Fauci writes, I was very pleased.

0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.439
<v Speaker 1>Others were stunned and impressed. Then an entry about being

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 1>a national hero. Nice profiles of me in Political New

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.640
<v Speaker 1>York Times. A different day, different day. I did all

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 1>five Sunday shows today, congratulates them. Shelves March twenty six,

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 1>donuts are being named T shirts have my pictures. Press

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 1>is still hot and heavy. These are all different entries,

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 1>different days, movie stars sending him flowers, etc. One sense

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 1>it screams seven deadly sins, writes, and he gave it

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.520
<v Speaker 1>to his pride. But it also makes the history in

0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.559
<v Speaker 1>which he took such a big part. Look Banalan inhuman

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Your historic emergency is his media opportunity. His diary doesn't

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:51.839
<v Speaker 1>seem at all humbled by the role in which he's

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>been cast or his responsibility. I saw no deep reflection

0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.000
<v Speaker 1>on the sufferings of his countrymen. He doesn't see the

0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.880
<v Speaker 1>red crosses on the doors. He attached clips of or

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.839
<v Speaker 1>links to fawning newspaper profiles and columns, but not to

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:07.240
<v Speaker 1>stories about what was happening in the civilian population population

0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 1>of his country as it went through a crisis. The

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 1>sweep and detail of Peep's diary captures the spirit of

0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:16.079
<v Speaker 1>his age, the restoration. Let's hope the flatness and self

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.720
<v Speaker 1>adulation of Anthony Fauci's doesn't capture ours.

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's really really good, and I would agree without

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:25.079
<v Speaker 2>one hundred percent. Yeah, I missed that. That is very,

0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.280
<v Speaker 2>very true. The fact that he doesn't have long paragraphs

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:35.200
<v Speaker 2>where he's really uh, wrestling with the kids are missing

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.560
<v Speaker 2>out on graduation year or kindergarten and this is just

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:40.600
<v Speaker 2>got to be playing or this has got to be

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 2>devastating to families, even if he did agreed with his policy,

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 2>even if he was saying, but I think it's the

0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 2>right thing to do, blah blah blah, because but it's

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 2>so difficult to know people are going through these How

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.960
<v Speaker 2>that's not part of your diary. In the midst of

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 2>this is your this is why you have a career,

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.079
<v Speaker 2>was being prepared for this sort of thing, and when

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:05.080
<v Speaker 2>it happened, you're not writing about the devastation of it.

0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 2>You're writing about the I met Beyonce today, Right, That

0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 2>is pretty interesting. Yeah, it's a great contrast.

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.600
<v Speaker 1>My final exhibit in the trial of the Evil Murder

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 1>of Doctor Fauci shallows that might be. Part of his

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.840
<v Speaker 1>problem is he's shallow. So it's ninety to ninety one, Michael,

0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:23.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to need. This is Carrie Mullus, whose name

0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.760
<v Speaker 1>you probably don't know. He's a scientist, a chemist. He

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:30.679
<v Speaker 1>invented PCR poly Moray's chain reaction. He won the nineteen

0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:34.320
<v Speaker 1>ninety three Nobel Prize in chemistry. And he was in

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:37.400
<v Speaker 1>some sort of debate of with Anthony Fauci in the

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:41.680
<v Speaker 1>nineteen nineties and said this about Fauci.

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:43.959
<v Speaker 6>Fauci get up there and start talking. You know, he

0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.640
<v Speaker 6>didn't know anything really about anything, And I'd say that

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:47.400
<v Speaker 6>to his face.

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:51.239
<v Speaker 3>Nothing. The man thinks you can take a blood.

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.080
<v Speaker 6>Sample and stick it in an electron microscope and if

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:56.000
<v Speaker 6>it's gottavirus in there, you will know it. He doesn't

0:11:56.040 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 6>understand electron microscopy, and he doesn't understand medicine. Should not

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 6>be in a position like he's in. Most of those

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.640
<v Speaker 6>guys up there on the top are just total administrative people,

0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:08.080
<v Speaker 6>and they don't know anything.

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.959
<v Speaker 2>About what I knew. He didn't understand electron microsity. No,

0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:16.079
<v Speaker 2>that's that's a really interesting angle that that he might

0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 2>have been just been a bureaucrat and didn't know the

0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:18.960
<v Speaker 2>actual science.

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:20.840
<v Speaker 3>Next clip, Michael I Faut.

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.199
<v Speaker 6>She wants to get on television with somebody who knows

0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 6>a little bit about this stuff and debate him.

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 3>He could easily do it because he's been asked.

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.040
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I've had a lot of people President of

0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 6>the University of South Carolina asked about you if he'd

0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.880
<v Speaker 6>come down there and debate me on the stage in

0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:39.120
<v Speaker 6>front of the student body, because I wanted somebody who

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.040
<v Speaker 6>was from the other side he come down there and

0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:44.240
<v Speaker 6>balance my because I felt like, well, these guys can

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 6>listen to me, but I need to have somebody else

0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 6>down here that's going to tell the other side what

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 6>about you didn't want to do it.

0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:52.320
<v Speaker 2>It reminds me what you're always saying, what about a

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 2>law enforcement or the military, that the higher you go

0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:56.959
<v Speaker 2>up the ranks, the more you become a politician and

0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 2>less a cop or a marine or whatever. Yeah, that

0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:03.440
<v Speaker 2>must be true in the world of science too.

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:07.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, absolutely true. Yeah, he knows nothing about nothing.

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:12.320
<v Speaker 1>He's just an administrator and a self aggrandizing shallow hack

0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 1>who covered up for his own funding of gain of

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:15.640
<v Speaker 1>function reasons.

0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 3>I represent science.

0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 1>If a single word of that is contracted contradicted, rather

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:22.760
<v Speaker 1>between today and the day I die. I will tell

0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 1>you loud and clear and admit it. I don't expect

0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I'll need.

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:25.960
<v Speaker 3>To do that.

0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:30.720
<v Speaker 2>You want to hear a great tease? Sure, an up

0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:32.559
<v Speaker 2>update on a story one of my favorite stories of

0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 2>all ill.

0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:34.520
<v Speaker 3>Be the judge of that though, Go ahead.

0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 2>They've discovered Jimothy's father.

0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:39.680
<v Speaker 3>That's really good.

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:45.199
<v Speaker 2>Katie's got Katy's got both hands. I'm so happy. Really

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:50.480
<v Speaker 2>they've found idiots. They've found Jimothy's father. Yes, I resigned,

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:54.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm resigning team coverage on that coming up later, say er,

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.560
<v Speaker 2>I uh worry about and read about the state of

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:08.719
<v Speaker 2>pot in this country of Fairmount, because I got two

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.200
<v Speaker 2>teenage boys, and I've known a few people in my

0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.200
<v Speaker 2>life who whose lives were not good because of their

0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 2>addiction to the non addictive pot. But Free Press has

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.760
<v Speaker 2>got a great piece about that today, on how it's

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.680
<v Speaker 2>more like cigarettes than alcohol. It turns out we had

0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 2>the analogy wrong all these years, which I think is

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 2>really interesting. And they've been dusting some of the street

0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 2>pot with fentanyl. You need to be very care that helps. Yeah,

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.120
<v Speaker 2>But more on that later. So Katie, I'm glad to

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:39.160
<v Speaker 2>see that while you were on maternity leave you had

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:42.680
<v Speaker 2>time even raising a newborn to stay up on the

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Jimothy story.

0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.640
<v Speaker 7>Oh, Jimothy is at the top of my algorithm.

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Dude, with you people deformed raccoon that somehow has leapt

0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.920
<v Speaker 2>into all of our consciousnesses. He's a doll, That's.

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.240
<v Speaker 3>Why he's a freak.

0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.720
<v Speaker 2>But this this actually ends up being a little bit

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.120
<v Speaker 2>more of story about AI and how I don't understand

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.600
<v Speaker 2>how the chat bots work, So I asked chat GPT,

0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.520
<v Speaker 2>what is Jimothy I'm frightened.

0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:08.720
<v Speaker 5>Of.

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Its response was if somebody said jimithine had caught you

0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.480
<v Speaker 2>off guard, there's no need to assume it's something dangerous.

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Jimmiothy is just a joking, made up version of the

0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.680
<v Speaker 2>name jim or Jimmy. An Internet theme or humorous nickname.

0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Can sound silly blah blah blah blah, but there's no

0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:27.800
<v Speaker 2>reason to be bothered by the word Jimothy. And I responded, Wow,

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.120
<v Speaker 2>it's been on the news every day for weeks. I

0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 2>do not understand how your search engine works, and it

0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 2>responded with fair point and in this case, you were

0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:39.280
<v Speaker 2>right to call me out, and then explains how it

0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:42.600
<v Speaker 2>didn't have that information but then got that information. But again,

0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.960
<v Speaker 2>I clearly do not understand how these search engines work.

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.160
<v Speaker 2>That I bring up jimothine, it has no idea what

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about until I point out it's like a giant,

0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.800
<v Speaker 2>giant story dude, right, and it does like one extra

0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.160
<v Speaker 2>tiny layer of something and knows what I'm talking about.

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Right, like, for instance, finding out this Jimothy, let's figure

0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:03.640
<v Speaker 1>out what that is before we answer this question.

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:05.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, bother with that.

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.080
<v Speaker 2>And again, as I always ask, who cares about the

0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Jimothy question? How often does that happen with things that

0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know? That it's really really wrong.

0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.880
<v Speaker 7>Because it's too worried about trying to connect with you

0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.760
<v Speaker 7>on another level, Like that text message that I sent

0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:21.840
<v Speaker 7>you guys not too long ago where it told me

0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:26.000
<v Speaker 7>to give my son extra snuggles for it from it

0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:27.600
<v Speaker 7>from it, and I was like, what am I going

0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:29.680
<v Speaker 7>to hurry my phone up against his forehead?

0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:30.520
<v Speaker 2>What do you want me to do?

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 3>So creepy.

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I think it's weird because I think that the

0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:40.640
<v Speaker 7>programming there is spliced between information and trying to connect

0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:41.920
<v Speaker 7>with humans to keep them hooked.

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:45.680
<v Speaker 2>But like just just a cursor research of what the

0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:47.960
<v Speaker 2>f is? Jimothy, what it brought you the infomo?

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right, One of our tech head listeners said, yeah,

0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.720
<v Speaker 1>people rate how happy they are with the answers, and

0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 1>consistently most people like when it creepily.

0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Tries to connect with you.

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.160
<v Speaker 1>We're outliers, you know, we just have to accept that

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:04.159
<v Speaker 1>most people like that.

0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.320
<v Speaker 2>It did end. It did end after explaining what Jimithy

0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:10.640
<v Speaker 2>is a deformed raccoon. Thanks for pushing back, It improved

0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:12.720
<v Speaker 2>the answer. Did it pull a Joe and go what

0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:16.640
<v Speaker 2>a freak? Pot's getting worse?

0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 3>Take him armstrong and getty.

0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 5>Trump said it's a disaster with no end in sight.

0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:29.080
<v Speaker 5>Then Taco Bell said, Hey, that's our slogan. Then Trump

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:33.240
<v Speaker 5>said this cabinae just refuses to come together. Then Akia said, Hey,

0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:37.960
<v Speaker 5>that's our slogan. Then Trump said everyone who was close

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:41.920
<v Speaker 5>to me is now distancing themselves. Then Tom's Natural deodoran

0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:42.760
<v Speaker 5>said Hey.

0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:43.440
<v Speaker 3>That's our slogan.

0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.960
<v Speaker 5>Then Trump said I've never experienced anything so hard and painful.

0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:53.920
<v Speaker 5>Kate cot Potatorship said Hey, that's our slogan. Then Trump

0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.320
<v Speaker 5>said it's a mess, by far, the worst situation I've

0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:59.880
<v Speaker 5>ever wandered into. Then e Kano Lodge said, hey, that's ours,

0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:04.720
<v Speaker 5>and Trump said there's so much money down the drain

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.760
<v Speaker 5>and for what? Then the random Apple storage fee you

0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:08.520
<v Speaker 5>pay every month?

0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:09.600
<v Speaker 3>Said hey, that's our.

0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:19.879
<v Speaker 2>Slogan, the random Apple storage fee. I knew a guy

0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:23.520
<v Speaker 2>that used the natural deodoranti and there'd be one good

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:28.760
<v Speaker 2>word to describe him, smelly. M Maybe it works for you,

0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:29.960
<v Speaker 2>but it didn't work for everybody.

0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:31.760
<v Speaker 7>I worked at Trader Joe's where they sold all of

0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:33.800
<v Speaker 7>that stuff and the people grabbing it off the shelves,

0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:34.800
<v Speaker 7>same situation.

0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:36.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Stanky.

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:41.439
<v Speaker 2>Free Press with a really interesting article about pot today.

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:45.680
<v Speaker 2>For the first time on record, more Americans get high

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:48.160
<v Speaker 2>every day than drink or smoke every day.

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:49.920
<v Speaker 4>I'll just sto.

0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:55.159
<v Speaker 2>It's a new situation. But there's something everyone missed in

0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 2>the data. Charles fain Layman writes in The Free Press

0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:02.840
<v Speaker 2>the days of legal weed may be numbered. The support

0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:10.199
<v Speaker 2>for legal marijuana is dropping for a variety of reasons. So, uh,

0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:12.879
<v Speaker 2>if you're old enough, you've been listening to the we

0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.680
<v Speaker 2>need to legalize marijuana argument for a very very, very

0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:17.800
<v Speaker 2>long time, and I got come in. I remember Bill

0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Maher used to make this, he's a regular pot smoker.

0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:22.240
<v Speaker 2>He used to make this argument all the time too.

0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:23.800
<v Speaker 2>What about alcohol? Why do we have alcohol?

0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:24.080
<v Speaker 3>Wise?

0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Alcohol? Okay, now it was always compared to alcohol, but

0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:28.359
<v Speaker 2>this point in the Free presses it's turned out to

0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:36.000
<v Speaker 2>be way more like cigarettes than alcohol, in that the

0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 2>consumption is being driven by daily users the way cigarettes are.

0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Most people don't smoke by far cigarettes. The people who

0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:48.080
<v Speaker 2>do smoke smoke every single day and keep the whole

0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:52.800
<v Speaker 2>industry alive. Marijuana is closer to that than is the minority.

0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:56.160
<v Speaker 2>A minority of people drink every day. There's a lot

0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:58.200
<v Speaker 2>of alcohol can exist in lots and lots of people

0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:02.320
<v Speaker 2>who drink occasionally, and that as a whatever you want

0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:04.199
<v Speaker 2>to call it, a vice or whatever name you want

0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:07.800
<v Speaker 2>to put on the darn thing. But marijuana is closer

0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:11.600
<v Speaker 2>to the cigarette and that it's a smaller number of

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:14.400
<v Speaker 2>people that do it every single day. And he makes

0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:16.320
<v Speaker 2>the argument in the Free Press that that's what is

0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:20.400
<v Speaker 2>driving the whole making it so strong thing, because it's

0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:22.639
<v Speaker 2>the daily users who buy most of the stuff, and it

0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:25.159
<v Speaker 2>is a business. You build up a tolerance, so you

0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:30.960
<v Speaker 2>want stronger, same with cigarettes, and so you're not catering

0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 2>to the casual I'm going to a concert once every

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:40.600
<v Speaker 2>six months user. You're catering to the daily potsmoker.

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.720
<v Speaker 1>The chronically dependent user, I think was the phrase they used.

0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, which is really interesting when you think about it. Also,

0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.679
<v Speaker 2>people's just attitudes about whether or not it's good for

0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:52.800
<v Speaker 2>you are bad for you have flipped quite a bit

0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:55.040
<v Speaker 2>in the last few years. I don't know if what's

0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:58.359
<v Speaker 2>driving that is just looking around you. People don't like

0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:01.800
<v Speaker 2>pot stores popping up everywhere. Apparently they don't like being

0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:04.320
<v Speaker 2>able to smell it everywhere they go. Now, you know,

0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:05.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how big a fact are they could be.

0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:09.359
<v Speaker 2>You don't smell alcohol the same You also don't smell

0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:12.320
<v Speaker 2>the vapes very much. No, I mean you.

0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:14.480
<v Speaker 3>Hit the vape.

0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:17.159
<v Speaker 7>Well, you hit the vape and it dissipates within seconds.

0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:18.680
<v Speaker 7>And I have a bunch of friends who have quit

0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:20.160
<v Speaker 7>drinking and have switched to pot.

0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't.

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't care about any of those things. I just

0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:28.959
<v Speaker 1>care about young people damaging their brains irrevocably and causing

0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:34.280
<v Speaker 1>psychotic episodes because it's such a strong drug at this point,

0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:38.320
<v Speaker 1>and it's I actually just found out I have a

0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:41.080
<v Speaker 1>friend who has an offspring that has been dealing with

0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:45.280
<v Speaker 1>psychosis after heavy pot use, and it's it's terrible.

0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, and the vapor in it is really is

0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:49.320
<v Speaker 2>really it can be a different thing for the way

0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:51.560
<v Speaker 2>to affect your lungs and your brain and everything like

0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:54.080
<v Speaker 2>that too. And then it's got like you said, it

0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:56.680
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have really any smell. It's really hard to detect.

0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:59.320
<v Speaker 2>So in terms of young young people, and they put

0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:01.919
<v Speaker 2>it in flavor, you know, cherry flavored and everything like

0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:04.439
<v Speaker 2>that good starter kit for a thirteen year old or whatever.

0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:06.800
<v Speaker 2>That's fantastic, yes, Katie.

0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:10.160
<v Speaker 7>But also the so the ways that they're distributing it now,

0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:14.639
<v Speaker 7>whether it's a vape, which like I said, dissipates quickly,

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:18.840
<v Speaker 7>or the edibles, they're able to take the THHC and

0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:24.640
<v Speaker 7>condense it down into such a strong level and then

0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:27.439
<v Speaker 7>distribute it into these like baked goods or gummies or

0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:30.280
<v Speaker 7>whatever it might be. That I mean, it's hitting people tenfold.

0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 7>It's it's not good.

0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:36.840
<v Speaker 2>The number of people who identify as pot smokers has

0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:41.560
<v Speaker 2>only gone up eight percentage points over a dozen years

0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:43.360
<v Speaker 2>between twenty twelve and twenty twenty four.

0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:45.159
<v Speaker 3>That's a pretty good rise.

0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:48.600
<v Speaker 2>But I see that doesn't account for a store on

0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:50.720
<v Speaker 2>every other corner depending on what town you live in

0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:55.560
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. And smokers or consumers. Yeah, well exactly. So

0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:58.399
<v Speaker 2>it's not that many more people decided on, hey, I'm

0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:00.520
<v Speaker 2>gonna smoke pot, but the number of people smoke it

0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:03.720
<v Speaker 2>daily apparently has gone up or a lot or cook

0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:05.359
<v Speaker 2>with it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, however you take it in,

0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 2>I shouldn't say smoke use, I guess would be better.

0:23:09.720 --> 0:23:13.200
<v Speaker 2>I also am interested in as a kind of a libertarian.

0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:15.919
<v Speaker 2>I am clearly not a full on libertarian because I

0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:20.720
<v Speaker 2>agree with now most Americans fifty seven percent of Americans

0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:23.000
<v Speaker 2>say we should ban tobacco products all together, not talking

0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:25.919
<v Speaker 2>about marijuana, but like your cigarettes, what's the how do

0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:28.880
<v Speaker 2>you justify cigarettes existing? Unless you're going with a libertarian,

0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:30.240
<v Speaker 2>we're free people and we should be able to do

0:23:30.280 --> 0:23:32.120
<v Speaker 2>what they do. But as a product, there's just there's

0:23:32.160 --> 0:23:34.600
<v Speaker 2>just no upside to the existence cigarettes.

0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:38.800
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm uncomfortable with that one because it's the classic

0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:42.000
<v Speaker 1>example of if we had a if we did not

0:23:42.200 --> 0:23:45.879
<v Speaker 1>have a gigantic welfare state in which I am responsible

0:23:45.920 --> 0:23:48.639
<v Speaker 1>for your medical bills, what you do to yourself, the

0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 1>choices you make are your business and they're none of mine.

0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:57.480
<v Speaker 1>But if and I hate to even say this out loud,

0:23:57.520 --> 0:24:01.040
<v Speaker 1>but if somebodys say habitual smokers, sayrettes, and then my

0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:04.400
<v Speaker 1>tax dollars pay for their medical care, I mean, where

0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:06.240
<v Speaker 1>are we as well?

0:24:06.680 --> 0:24:10.400
<v Speaker 7>I'm I'm a vapor now again, now that I've had

0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:14.760
<v Speaker 7>my kid, I need some form of advice. So A, uh,

0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:20.639
<v Speaker 7>it's I don't know, it's from China. Oh it's nicotine.

0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:23.520
<v Speaker 2>None of my business. No, I won't. In the show,

0:24:23.520 --> 0:24:27.040
<v Speaker 2>I promised thousands of people, Well, your cigarette thing, though, Joe,

0:24:27.080 --> 0:24:29.800
<v Speaker 2>I think because cigarettes started as partially because they were

0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:32.760
<v Speaker 2>lying to us as something that was practically healthy or

0:24:32.800 --> 0:24:35.359
<v Speaker 2>certainly didn't do you any damage. I think if we

0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:38.720
<v Speaker 2>known what cigarettes were, they're just a poisonous product. That's

0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:40.960
<v Speaker 2>one of the most addictive things ever invented. If you

0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:43.639
<v Speaker 2>started there, there's no way it would be a legal product.

0:24:43.720 --> 0:24:48.120
<v Speaker 2>Is there is there anything else like that that's that deadly?

0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:53.200
<v Speaker 2>With no benefits whatsoever? Nutritional first, quenching, nothing, and it's

0:24:53.359 --> 0:24:55.760
<v Speaker 2>incredibly high, highly addictive. I don't think you could get

0:24:55.760 --> 0:24:56.120
<v Speaker 2>it going.

0:24:56.880 --> 0:25:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, probably not, But then you have the argument necessarily

0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:02.560
<v Speaker 1>justify of that but go ahead, kittie.

0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:04.240
<v Speaker 7>Well, no, there are just some people that say, like,

0:25:04.320 --> 0:25:06.760
<v Speaker 7>you know, there are elements of nicotine that actually aren't

0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:09.200
<v Speaker 7>bad for you. I know it might be a conspiracy theory,

0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 7>but I mean it's the chemicals within the cigarettes that

0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:17.680
<v Speaker 7>create the actual smoke that cause the issue.

0:25:17.760 --> 0:25:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, the ultimate point of this article in the Free

0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:22.639
<v Speaker 2>Press is that people's attitudes, whether you agree with them

0:25:22.720 --> 0:25:29.879
<v Speaker 2>or not, are moving more toward pots like cigarettes as

0:25:29.920 --> 0:25:33.480
<v Speaker 2>a product bad for you and used by a small

0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:37.560
<v Speaker 2>number of people regularly, than they are toward alcohol, which

0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:39.600
<v Speaker 2>is what it was compared to my whole life. I

0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:41.480
<v Speaker 2>think that's I wouldn't have guessed that this is where

0:25:41.520 --> 0:25:43.040
<v Speaker 2>we're going to end up. Of course, I wouldn't have

0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:44.560
<v Speaker 2>a guessed that they were going to come up with

0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:46.399
<v Speaker 2>a new way to smoke it with vaping. I wouldn't

0:25:46.400 --> 0:25:47.720
<v Speaker 2>have guessed that it was going to get so much

0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:51.040
<v Speaker 2>stronger than you know what hippies it would stockwords smoking

0:25:51.160 --> 0:25:52.280
<v Speaker 2>is just a different thing.

0:25:52.720 --> 0:25:54.120
<v Speaker 3>Or college students in the eighties.

0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Dabbing is how a lot of kids are doing themselves damage.

0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm told by someone in the know, a method, Yeah,

0:26:00.600 --> 0:26:04.360
<v Speaker 1>consuming cannabis using high potency concentrates like wax, shatter or

0:26:04.400 --> 0:26:08.800
<v Speaker 1>butter vaporized on a hot surface. Extracts contain very high

0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:12.160
<v Speaker 1>THHC levels, typically ranging from sixty to ninety percent.

0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 7>I can tell you about that. It's the crystals that

0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:17.960
<v Speaker 7>actually fall off of the plant. Yeah, and then they

0:26:17.960 --> 0:26:21.640
<v Speaker 7>collect those crystals and it turns into this, like you said,

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:24.760
<v Speaker 7>a wax like product, and they heat it almost like heroin,

0:26:25.359 --> 0:26:26.720
<v Speaker 7>Like you can put it on a piece of foil

0:26:26.760 --> 0:26:29.320
<v Speaker 7>and light it underneath and smoke out of the top

0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:31.720
<v Speaker 7>of it. And I had a buddy almost die from

0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:33.200
<v Speaker 7>that a couple of years ago.

0:26:34.359 --> 0:26:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:26:35.480 --> 0:26:38.080
<v Speaker 7>I mean, you know, they're finding new ways to utilize it.

0:26:38.080 --> 0:26:41.280
<v Speaker 7>But I also disagree because I've had multiple friends get

0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:44.119
<v Speaker 7>really sick and almost die from just being at the

0:26:44.160 --> 0:26:47.280
<v Speaker 7>bar every single day and drinking too much because it

0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:47.919
<v Speaker 7>poisons you.

0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Ohly, sure, you can over drink, you can overdo lots

0:26:50.760 --> 0:26:53.800
<v Speaker 2>of stuff. But the percent, again, a minority of people

0:26:53.880 --> 0:26:57.800
<v Speaker 2>drink daily, whereas with potsmokers it's eighty five percent smokers,

0:26:57.800 --> 0:26:58.800
<v Speaker 2>it's ninety percent.

0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:02.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, and as a guy who quote unquote drinks daily,

0:27:02.840 --> 0:27:05.919
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's just there's practically no I mean, I

0:27:05.960 --> 0:27:09.560
<v Speaker 1>have a Scots when I'm reading Tim Sandifer's book at

0:27:09.560 --> 0:27:12.760
<v Speaker 1>eight thirty at nights, I mean to say I'm a

0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:14.639
<v Speaker 1>danger to myself or anybody else.

0:27:15.160 --> 0:27:17.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's the point of the number. The number.

0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:20.480
<v Speaker 2>The point is no, I get the point that most

0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:22.679
<v Speaker 2>people don't, So why would you ban a product that

0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:24.720
<v Speaker 2>most people aren't doing it daily? And people that do

0:27:24.800 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 2>daily fine, But if it's only if it's a small

0:27:27.280 --> 0:27:30.360
<v Speaker 2>percentage of people that do something daily, it's well, it's

0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:32.800
<v Speaker 2>kind of a different thing, especially if it's got negative

0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:37.400
<v Speaker 2>health outcomes. So what would you When you get into

0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:39.359
<v Speaker 2>the whole libertarian what should be legal what should not

0:27:39.400 --> 0:27:42.359
<v Speaker 2>be legal? It always gets interesting and complicated, and where

0:27:42.359 --> 0:27:45.400
<v Speaker 2>you draw the line, e right, it always is, which

0:27:45.440 --> 0:27:46.840
<v Speaker 2>is one of the reasons. I guess it's a good

0:27:46.920 --> 0:27:52.080
<v Speaker 2>classroom sort of discussion. But to your cigarettes should be legal, Well,

0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:56.840
<v Speaker 2>then the places that have tried legalizing hard drugs, what's

0:27:56.840 --> 0:28:01.960
<v Speaker 2>the upside the hard drugs existing? That's less than cigarette?

0:28:02.080 --> 0:28:04.399
<v Speaker 2>People who get hooked on cigarettes don't break into my

0:28:04.440 --> 0:28:05.280
<v Speaker 2>car and steal.

0:28:05.040 --> 0:28:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Stuff, all right, It's about externalities absent the welfare state.

0:28:10.280 --> 0:28:13.320
<v Speaker 1>There are very few externalities to cigarette smoke. The whole

0:28:13.320 --> 0:28:16.639
<v Speaker 1>second hand smoke thing was completely overplown. It doesn't do

0:28:16.680 --> 0:28:18.400
<v Speaker 1>you any good. I mean, I don't want to sit

0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:20.760
<v Speaker 1>next to somebody in a car who's chain smoking. Okay,

0:28:20.880 --> 0:28:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll grant you that. But externalities, if you're not familiar,

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:26.760
<v Speaker 1>it's thing. What you do affects other people, whether you

0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:29.720
<v Speaker 1>intend to or not. With cigarettes, there's practically none. With

0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:31.520
<v Speaker 1>hard drug use, it's enormous.

0:28:31.720 --> 0:28:33.959
<v Speaker 2>That's a tough one too. On my whole what am

0:28:33.960 --> 0:28:37.119
<v Speaker 2>I a libertarian or not? I hated the idea of

0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:41.720
<v Speaker 2>banning smoking in bars and restaurants just as a because

0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:44.479
<v Speaker 2>in fairy the free market should take care of that.

0:28:44.520 --> 0:28:46.240
<v Speaker 2>You open up a restaurant or bar where we don't

0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:48.520
<v Speaker 2>less smoke, you get more businesses, you get more business

0:28:48.560 --> 0:28:50.880
<v Speaker 2>than the other people. Blah blah blah. But that never happened.

0:28:51.360 --> 0:28:53.120
<v Speaker 2>And I love the fact that I can go into

0:28:53.120 --> 0:28:55.000
<v Speaker 2>a bar and restaurant in California and it's not smoking.

0:28:55.080 --> 0:28:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Whenever I'm in a state where they still allow that,

0:28:57.080 --> 0:28:59.440
<v Speaker 2>and I walk in, it's like this is nuts. It's

0:28:59.520 --> 0:29:02.160
<v Speaker 2>blue and here you can't see the ceiling. What is

0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:04.200
<v Speaker 2>going on? So I don't know, I don't know how

0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:06.000
<v Speaker 2>you figure that out.

0:29:06.680 --> 0:29:09.360
<v Speaker 7>I feel like cigarette smoke is one of those only

0:29:09.480 --> 0:29:13.520
<v Speaker 7>vices that affects everyone around them just physically. If you're

0:29:13.520 --> 0:29:16.720
<v Speaker 7>sitting there banging out of dart, everybody within twenty five

0:29:16.800 --> 0:29:19.600
<v Speaker 7>yards can smell it, breathe it in all of that.

0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Indoors is a different way. I shouldn't like it, my

0:29:22.040 --> 0:29:25.040
<v Speaker 2>clothes smelling like it. But anyway, the final point on

0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:28.560
<v Speaker 2>this that they make in the article is in terms

0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:34.520
<v Speaker 2>of polling people's attitudes, that the high point I feel

0:29:34.520 --> 0:29:37.680
<v Speaker 2>part in the expression of people loving the whole marijuana

0:29:37.760 --> 0:29:40.160
<v Speaker 2>movement crusted a few years back, and it's cooling in

0:29:40.160 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 2>the other direction now. And he says, who knows where

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:45.360
<v Speaker 2>that ends up? How far does it greater? Who knows?

0:29:45.640 --> 0:29:46.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think we probably.

0:29:46.560 --> 0:29:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Ought to start just referring to THHC as opposed to

0:29:50.080 --> 0:29:51.480
<v Speaker 1>pot or marijuana or whatever.

0:29:51.600 --> 0:29:52.560
<v Speaker 2>You think it would be helpful.

0:29:52.760 --> 0:29:55.400
<v Speaker 1>The plant is just a delivery mechanism for the drug,

0:29:56.080 --> 0:29:59.600
<v Speaker 1>and people are you know, dabbing or doing you know,

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:02.080
<v Speaker 1>concentrates or gummies or whatever.

0:30:02.120 --> 0:30:05.000
<v Speaker 3>It's THHC delivery period. Anyway.

0:30:05.080 --> 0:30:08.440
<v Speaker 1>A work from our friends at in Cognity. Thousands of

0:30:08.440 --> 0:30:10.520
<v Speaker 1>places on the Internet have a file with your name,

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:14.040

<v Speaker 1>your kids' names, your age, everything, and they're selling that

0:30:18.800 --> 0:30:21.959
<v Speaker 1>you can make them take that stuff down, but there

0:30:21.960 --> 0:30:23.920
<v Speaker 1>are thousands of them. So what is a boy or

0:30:24.000 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 1>girl or non gender specific to do?

0:30:40.480 --> 0:30:43.680
<v Speaker 2>your info stays off those lists. If scammers can't find you,

0:30:43.720 --> 0:30:44.480
<v Speaker 2>they can't target you.

0:30:45.240 --> 0:30:48.680
<v Speaker 1>And I've been getting plagued with a certain sort of

0:30:48.760 --> 0:30:51.640
<v Speaker 1>scam call and I had a feeling I knew how

0:30:51.640 --> 0:30:54.200
<v Speaker 1>they were getting my info. And in Cognate lets you

0:30:54.280 --> 0:30:56.400
<v Speaker 1>customize it. They say, hey, we found it here. Do

0:30:56.440 --> 0:30:58.440
<v Speaker 1>you want us to take this down or not? Because

0:30:58.440 --> 0:31:00.920
<v Speaker 1>it's like a semi legitimate site. Oh, the service was

0:31:00.960 --> 0:31:02.400
<v Speaker 1>so good they took it down right away.

0:31:16.080 --> 0:31:18.240
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know almost sixty percent of people are for

0:31:18.360 --> 0:31:22.280
<v Speaker 2>banning nicotine products. Now, I didn't know what moved that much.

0:31:22.640 --> 0:31:25.360
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know that I could see that becoming a

0:31:25.480 --> 0:31:28.840
<v Speaker 2>serious issue. If it moves much further, you get to

0:31:28.880 --> 0:31:30.240
<v Speaker 2>seventy seventy five percent.

0:31:31.160 --> 0:31:33.840
<v Speaker 1>My final note on this topic, which is more general

0:31:34.200 --> 0:31:37.360
<v Speaker 1>than that, because I think you're right, is that we

0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:40.840
<v Speaker 1>see in a question of whether you can do something

0:31:40.960 --> 0:31:46.760
<v Speaker 1>or not, creeping socialism really twists the discussion because I've

0:31:46.800 --> 0:31:49.000
<v Speaker 1>got to pay for you, which means I can tell

0:31:49.040 --> 0:31:53.920
<v Speaker 1>you what to do. There are politicians running for office,

0:31:53.920 --> 0:31:58.720
<v Speaker 1>perhaps in a primary today, who want everything to be socialism,

0:31:59.040 --> 0:32:01.240
<v Speaker 1>meaning they can tell you what to do and what

0:32:01.320 --> 0:32:05.160
<v Speaker 1>not to do every moment of your life. Resistant, my friends,

0:32:05.200 --> 0:32:06.200
<v Speaker 1>with everything you've.

0:32:06.000 --> 0:32:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Got, would there be less lay about daily pot smokers,

0:32:09.360 --> 0:32:12.080
<v Speaker 2>if you were gonna starve to death, if you didn't

0:32:12.200 --> 0:32:16.880
<v Speaker 2>support yourself, there would be any thoughts on this text

0:32:16.920 --> 0:32:20.320
<v Speaker 2>line four one five nine ftc.

0:32:20.960 --> 0:32:28.480
<v Speaker 3>Are strong, he Getty.

0:32:29.960 --> 0:32:33.880
<v Speaker 8>We are in Pacifica, California, Lindamar Beach. We're at the

0:32:33.880 --> 0:32:36.040
<v Speaker 8>World Dogs Surf Championship. There is a whole bunch of

0:32:36.120 --> 0:32:39.200
<v Speaker 8>dogs around the world. Judging goes based on fashion, how

0:32:39.240 --> 0:32:42.080
<v Speaker 8>long the dog has been on the wave, any tricks

0:32:42.080 --> 0:32:45.080
<v Speaker 8>that the dog does, how many waves the dog has caught.

0:32:45.240 --> 0:32:47.280
<v Speaker 3>I took him to the beach, I took my surfboard.

0:32:47.320 --> 0:32:49.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm I gon to a couple of little photos. He

0:32:49.400 --> 0:32:50.280
<v Speaker 3>doesn't get off, and.

0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Then I walk over to the beach and I put

0:32:52.000 --> 0:32:54.120
<v Speaker 2>him on a wave and he surfed it. You know,

0:32:54.240 --> 0:32:54.760
<v Speaker 2>it's fun.

0:32:54.840 --> 0:32:57.200
<v Speaker 3>Everybody's having a good time. The dogs are having a

0:32:57.240 --> 0:32:57.680
<v Speaker 3>good time.

0:32:57.800 --> 0:33:01.520
<v Speaker 2>A couple of quick questions. Do the dogs know they're surfing?

0:33:02.480 --> 0:33:03.520
<v Speaker 2>I feel like they don't.

0:33:03.560 --> 0:33:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Scientists studying wild dogs have observed that in the wild

0:33:07.160 --> 0:33:09.280
<v Speaker 1>they surf to gather prey.

0:33:09.040 --> 0:33:11.040
<v Speaker 3>And to bond with the other members of the.

0:33:10.960 --> 0:33:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Pack, and the fashion plays a major part of your score.

0:33:14.720 --> 0:33:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Does the dog pick out the outfit? I feel like

0:33:16.840 --> 0:33:19.520
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of oh yeah, forcing the dog to

0:33:19.640 --> 0:33:22.320
<v Speaker 2>wear certain clothes and participate in a sport that doesn't

0:33:22.320 --> 0:33:28.160
<v Speaker 2>come naturally to the canine species. Related story, just coincidentally,

0:33:28.280 --> 0:33:30.840
<v Speaker 2>that's PACIFICA right next door, I mean, like really next

0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:35.000
<v Speaker 2>door is Santa Cruz. Yesterday announced the most expensive rental

0:33:35.120 --> 0:33:39.520
<v Speaker 2>in the country, the most expensive place to rent at

0:33:39.560 --> 0:33:43.880
<v Speaker 2>all to live is Santa Cruz, California. California is number

0:33:43.880 --> 0:33:47.080
<v Speaker 2>one in rental costs nationwide as a state. Run on

0:33:47.160 --> 0:33:50.600
<v Speaker 2>that Gavin Newsom you need in California if you want

0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:52.880
<v Speaker 2>to rent a place, you need to make fifty three

0:33:52.960 --> 0:33:55.400
<v Speaker 2>dollars an hour to afford a typical two bedroom home

0:33:56.480 --> 0:33:59.720
<v Speaker 2>in California that's spread out over the whole state. Which

0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:03.320
<v Speaker 2>it's not just the expensive parts, right, fifty three dollars

0:34:03.360 --> 0:34:04.600
<v Speaker 2>an hour to just rent a.

0:34:04.600 --> 0:34:07.080
<v Speaker 3>Place to live two bedroom spot.

0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, affordability. Of course, you got enough money to have

0:34:12.160 --> 0:34:15.440
<v Speaker 2>your dog surf by it, cute outfits.

0:34:15.760 --> 0:34:19.560
<v Speaker 1>It's an expensive hobby from what I understand. Yeah, let's

0:34:19.600 --> 0:34:22.280
<v Speaker 1>see what do we have time for? Not very much

0:34:23.239 --> 0:34:25.319
<v Speaker 1>and a little bonus mail bag here drops to note

0:34:25.360 --> 0:34:30.080
<v Speaker 1>mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com. Paolo writes

0:34:30.120 --> 0:34:32.800
<v Speaker 1>on the topic of the DSA, which we've been discussing

0:34:32.800 --> 0:34:35.680
<v Speaker 1>today Democratic Socialists of America. They're very out and proud

0:34:35.719 --> 0:34:38.400
<v Speaker 1>about their platform. Seems odd because many of their positions

0:34:38.440 --> 0:34:40.839
<v Speaker 1>are well known to be unpopular. They also seem very

0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:44.360
<v Speaker 1>unaware or unapologetic about how easy it is for the

0:34:44.360 --> 0:34:47.879
<v Speaker 1>concentration of power in their proposed government to accommodate totalitarian

0:34:47.920 --> 0:34:50.440
<v Speaker 1>abuse of that power. I think there's a common thread here.

0:34:50.440 --> 0:34:54.800
<v Speaker 1>They're naive, Well, the useful idiots are. The youngsters certainly

0:34:54.840 --> 0:34:57.319
<v Speaker 1>are not the leaders. But I think they're idealistic and

0:34:57.360 --> 0:34:59.319
<v Speaker 1>convinced that everyone will come around to their way of

0:34:59.360 --> 0:35:01.920
<v Speaker 1>thinking if given the chance. They think they can convince

0:35:02.040 --> 0:35:03.920
<v Speaker 1>most of those who don't like their ideas that they

0:35:03.920 --> 0:35:06.640
<v Speaker 1>are in fact good ideas. They appear to be unaware

0:35:06.640 --> 0:35:09.280
<v Speaker 1>of the risks of eliminating checks and balances from government,

0:35:09.560 --> 0:35:11.839
<v Speaker 1>focusing only on how it will help them carry out

0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:14.440
<v Speaker 1>their agenda. They appear never to have heard about the

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:17.319
<v Speaker 1>tyranny of the majority. Wonder how much of this owes

0:35:17.360 --> 0:35:19.560
<v Speaker 1>to their being taught a lot more about how our

0:35:19.600 --> 0:35:23.600
<v Speaker 1>system of government comprises evil colonialism, racism, and white supremacy,

0:35:23.960 --> 0:35:26.759
<v Speaker 1>then they were taught about what's extraornally good about it.

0:35:26.880 --> 0:35:28.760
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, that's absolutely true.

0:35:29.239 --> 0:35:34.440
<v Speaker 2>You've been fighting the battle and losing about people using

0:35:34.480 --> 0:35:37.560
<v Speaker 2>the word capitalism. We really should get away from it.

0:35:37.760 --> 0:35:40.200
<v Speaker 2>I was listening to a podcast yesterday just talking about

0:35:40.239 --> 0:35:45.440
<v Speaker 2>how free market polls twenty thirty forty points ahead of

0:35:45.480 --> 0:35:49.480
<v Speaker 2>capitalism if you ask people questions about socialism versus capitalism,

0:35:49.560 --> 0:35:52.040
<v Speaker 2>as opposed to socialism versus free market, so we should

0:35:52.080 --> 0:35:53.279
<v Speaker 2>stop calling it capitalism.

0:35:54.040 --> 0:35:55.680
<v Speaker 1>By the way, as a player and a coach, I

0:35:55.719 --> 0:35:59.040
<v Speaker 1>embrace the philosophy. Just because you're behind doesn't mean you're losing.

0:35:59.719 --> 0:36:03.000
<v Speaker 1>So I am behind in that argument, but I'm not losing.

0:36:04.800 --> 0:36:07.000
<v Speaker 1>We got a whole nother hour to do an with

0:36:07.480 --> 0:36:10.600
<v Speaker 1>those who crave freedom. Yes, but we do have a

0:36:10.600 --> 0:36:12.439
<v Speaker 1>couple of socialists that are going to get elected today

0:36:12.480 --> 0:36:17.600
<v Speaker 1>because people hate capitalism or love fundamentalist Islam, depends on

0:36:17.640 --> 0:36:22.880
<v Speaker 1>which nominated. Formally speaking, they will be the democratic candidate for.

0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:25.360
<v Speaker 2>A major party, which is crazy. If you miss the
