<v Speaker 1>week too. My gosh, enjoy.

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.880
<v Speaker 2>We've distilled it all down to the best weekend talk

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:49.200
<v Speaker 2>show in America?

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 3>Was it?

0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Benny said the other day, you're texting me about you'd

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 1>rather talk about this than that? What was that? Oh?

0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 1>In general, I'd rather talk about it. I agree, he

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>is than events. You know. That's why I brought it up.

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Retary news stories that nobody will talk about in two

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 1>days and yeah, and actually matter and uh, I believe

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 1>that wholeheartedly. And I don't know if it's just like

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:16.960
<v Speaker 1>been doing this too long, or my age or the

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 1>media has gotten suck here, Like I turned on ABC

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.120
<v Speaker 1>this week, I've been watching the Sunday talk shows for

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 1>thirty years longer, and they just have become so irrelevant

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>to my life now. I turned on ABC this week,

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>the Todd Bland sharing is like click fast forward. Then

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 1>there was some James Comey's case about click fast forward

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 1>that nobody, nobody, I know, no real human being is

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>thinking about this stuff. I think you've hit on something

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>really fundamental, though. When the government gets so enormous and

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 1>powerful and rich as it is now, policy doesn't matter anymore.

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Who's in charge of the levers is the only thing

0:01:56.280 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>that matters. And so often, you know, our votes are

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>divorced from reasonable discussions about policy. So yeah, I just

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>and I don't mean to be super negative. Life is

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:09.359
<v Speaker 1>still worth living and I intend to have a good

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 1>day to day. But I'm reading Tim Sandifer's absolutely wonderful

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 1>book Proclaiming Liberty, Jefferson Adams and the Declaration of Independence,

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and I cannot recommend it highly enough. But it's impossible

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>not to compare and contrast the philosophies that launched this

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.920
<v Speaker 1>country and the idea of what the government would and

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.919
<v Speaker 1>would not be with what it is right now and

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 1>not be a little bit discouraged. Anyway, Back to you enough, Okay,

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Mirth first Earth, for God's I was just setting up.

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I agree, I'd rather talk about bigger ideas or or

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 1>big news events, but got the daily nobody and nobody

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 1>can be talking about some of this stuff in a week,

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Nobody and cable news channels who have no viewers. I

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.240
<v Speaker 1>have to remind myself talk about it all day long.

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 1>You know what one of my favorite parts of Tim's

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 1>book is is And then we can get into the

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>mirth ah ah.

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 2>The fact that all these great thinkers that we talk

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.919
<v Speaker 2>about from the revolutionary period, the founding papas, a lot

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 2>of them had read each other's screeds, but they'd never met.

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the vast majority of the Boston the Massachusetts

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 2>guys knew the Massachusetts guys. The Virginia guys likewise set

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.360
<v Speaker 2>her up and down the coast, but they'd never met.

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.119
<v Speaker 2>And so when they first got together for the First

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Continental Congress, it was like, dude, big fan ears, really

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 2>big love that piece you wrote about. Wow, I tip

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 2>my feathered cap to you. And there they'd be like, please,

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 2>you're too kind what you said about that. Oh, dude,

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 2>you are the man, And there's a.

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Fair amount of that which is kind of cool. Love

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>your stockings knee high cool. Yeah, wow, wow, nice fit

0:03:54.360 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 1>to them. Where do you get those? So the first

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>professional women's pro baseball game in since whenever that Tom

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Hanks movie There's No Crying in Baseball? Was that World

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>War Two era that they decided to have women's professional baseball?

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I think because the dudes are off fighting. Yeah, I

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 1>think that's right. Anyway, they brought it back. And so

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.599
<v Speaker 1>here's just some of the tweets I saw. And I

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 1>actually have only heard a few notes of this song,

0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>so maybe it gets better and I'm hyping it up

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:25.599
<v Speaker 1>too much, but I saw all these different people that

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I know absolutely nothing could have prepared me for the

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 1>national anthem at the women's pro baseball game. Another one.

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Nothing will prepare for you for this, and I mean nothing.

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Here's another one, the worst national anthem performance in history.

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Here's a palette cleanser and they bring a bunch of people.

0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.159
<v Speaker 1>Had Whitney Houston's or Chris Stapleton's for a couple of years.

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 1>That was, oh so good. If you need to cleanse

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 1>your palate. Uh, this national anthem is sung at the

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:55.360
<v Speaker 1>women's professional baseball league game. This is a hate crime. Okay.

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Having set it up that way, let's hear some of it.

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 1>Oh and you see Bye Pat Bye was so proud

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 1>well at the time last sleep jobs drive sand rih

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 1>the pair spot and she told the other chick we

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 1>were doing this sweet did she catch her off guard?

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Send with me on a massage chair, like a massage

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:45.280
<v Speaker 1>exactly the mom's bursting in air game not part. Her

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 1>partner said, I'm out. That was still shame kill that No,

0:05:52.640 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 1>still there sast thingle ben Oh okay, oh, the land

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 1>and the whole Oh is anybody hurt? I would have

0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:23.159
<v Speaker 1>to say, I actually believe that might be the worst version.

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:28.040
<v Speaker 1>That wasn't on purpose. Bad people use the u uh nah.

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:29.920
<v Speaker 1>She was trying to be it was a comedy act,

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 1>which she shouldn't do with the national anthem, but she

0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.400
<v Speaker 1>wasn't trying to I think she screwed up and was

0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 1>embarrassed and was trying to cover it with comedy. But anyway,

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't matter. These people were trying to sing, well, yeah,

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.000
<v Speaker 1>that holy cow.

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 2>So my wife is in a women's chorus and one

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 2>of the things you've got to do is eliminate your

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 2>vibrato when you're singing harmonies like that, And that was

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 2>like the most horrendous vibrato I've ever heard in my life.

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 1>She changed keys several times. It was more of like

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 1>free jazz than you know gad, oh my gosh that

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 1>part where she bailed at one point because she ran

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>out of air or something or partner who I don't

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 1>think had been alerted that they were doing this until

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:14.560
<v Speaker 1>it happened. Hey, let's sing the national anthem. We're gonna

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 1>what one, two, three? Now I'll sing the high part.

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Wait a minute, what a hye part? Still that's exactly

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>still there, right right, still there, still there. Oh, okay,

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 1>give us do we have that last part? The land

0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:46.360
<v Speaker 1>on the and the hole of the same key like

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 1>messing with the tempo really fast and really wow. Wow, Hey,

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I wish we'd gotten a chance to practice this. Can

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I read something? I meant to do this on the

0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 1>air after all, the fourth of July two hundred and

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.560
<v Speaker 1>fiftyth birthday. Stuff about the national anthem. It's the only

0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 1>national anthem in the world ever, that's been a question.

0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.720
<v Speaker 1>It's a question. Can you see can you still see

0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 1>that flag? It's still up, We're still doing it, We're

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 1>still together, We're still a country. Just yeah, it is

0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:18.000
<v Speaker 1>that's very very cool. Who first put music? The blame

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.840
<v Speaker 1>seems to be put on It's not Scott spirits Gerald,

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 1>it's Francis scot Key. Yes, Great Gatsby or national anthem.

0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:31.760
<v Speaker 1>The blame seems to be put on Francis scott Key.

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.240
<v Speaker 1>He wrote the words, he didn't write the music right correct.

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.480
<v Speaker 1>That's an old English hymn. I can't remember the title.

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.839
<v Speaker 1>CHOI chose something with a range of eight octaves to

0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 1>be to put the words to it, I don't know,

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't, but they're a blot on American history, and

0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I damn them. You don't know. I've never you were

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.679
<v Speaker 1>at the same a's game. I was at Hanson a

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks ago where we both noticed this port

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Nice high school girl singing the national anthem. Cute Nice

0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 1>won some contests or whatever, but started too high or

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.440
<v Speaker 1>too low or some I mean, there's just very few

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>people can do that actual range very well. It's hard

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:09.719
<v Speaker 1>to start on the right key, or you're doomed, doomed right.

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 1>And I think sometimes people they get and then that's

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:14.920
<v Speaker 1>what distracts you. On the words. You get a certain

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 1>way and you think, I think I started too high oh,

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.160
<v Speaker 1>you're get into the high part. I'm not sure I

0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 1>can do this, and then you get the words wrong.

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, you want to hear something bizarre. I don't

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 2>know why, but I was thinking the other day you

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 2>quoted some songwriter who said, if you can sing the

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 2>words to Amazing Grace to a different tune, you can

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 2>be a songwriter.

0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 1>It was something to that effect. I can't remember, and

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.880
<v Speaker 1>that's stuck in my mind since you brought the quote

0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.199
<v Speaker 1>to me years and years ago, and so I was

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:48.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why I popped in my head, But

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 1>the other day I was in my kitchen singing the

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:59.560
<v Speaker 1>lyrics to the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic give Me three Steps

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.480
<v Speaker 1>to the tune of the national anthem, As one does,

0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 1>s one does to pass one's time. That's harder than

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.000
<v Speaker 1>it sounds. Yeah, that's an interesting brain trick. I'll bet

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.000
<v Speaker 1>that's separating different parts of your brain in a way

0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty complicated. Ah yeah, I'll bet it is. I'll

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 1>bet it is. I did okay, but not great. So anyway,

0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.559
<v Speaker 1>there you have it. I think that does qualify as

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:23.079
<v Speaker 1>a I don't know if it's a hate crime, but

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.719
<v Speaker 1>it is. It's hard to enjoy national anthem. Well, you

0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.120
<v Speaker 1>know what it made it? I don't I don't need

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 1>to just be mean to people at this point in

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.000
<v Speaker 1>my life. There was something about it that it was

0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 1>like joyful and they were enjoying.

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Themselves even if it was just God awful. That made

0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:46.439
<v Speaker 2>it extra enjoyable. As as crack. Well, it seems it

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 2>was a stylistic choice. I think they'd say, what do

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean?

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 1>What's wrong with it? It came off exactly like I

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:55.120
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do. God, that woman's vibrato, something like she's

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 1>in that Japanese earthquake or something. When she bailed out

0:10:58.200 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 1>on the words of that one phrase I was gonna

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 1>and then it was like she was singing while somebody

0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 1>was doing CPR on her. Pump pump Poomooo. It's Jack

0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.679
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Joe Patty. This is the best we had

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:22.600
<v Speaker 1>a talk show in America. Terror in Twin Falls police

0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.439
<v Speaker 1>say a shooter sprayed bullets at this in and out

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:29.160
<v Speaker 1>burger in a crowded shopping center two hours southeast of Boise.

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.599
<v Speaker 1>So far, all we have is a male twenty to

0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 1>thirty years of age wearing a blue shirt Class D

0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Pam I'm conflicted about talking about this at all. There's

0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.559
<v Speaker 1>a couple of reasons why I want us to talk

0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 1>about it, but I we hate giving attention to these

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.840
<v Speaker 1>shooters because that's what they want. I think we've all

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.680
<v Speaker 1>landed in a place, or those of her paying attention,

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:59.319
<v Speaker 1>where we realize these are suicides from troubled people that

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:03.000
<v Speaker 1>try to give meaning to their suicide, and we're giving

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.240
<v Speaker 1>them meaning by talking about it, which makes other suicidal

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 1>people think, Hey, I know how I'll kill myself. So

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.959
<v Speaker 1>it's not just a lonely guy, you know, in the

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 1>front seat of his car or in his backyard or whatever,

0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.959
<v Speaker 1>dying alone. It's a big spectacle that somehow gives my

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.400
<v Speaker 1>death more meaning. So I hate talking about it from

0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.240
<v Speaker 1>that standpoint, right, I won't come off as a pathetic,

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.280
<v Speaker 1>sad gual. I'll come off with as an angry revolutionary

0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.880
<v Speaker 1>of some sort with super cool pictures of me all

0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 1>over the place, very unhappy with a New York Post,

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:36.760
<v Speaker 1>California Post with pictures of this guy looking like a

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:40.160
<v Speaker 1>cool badass from a movie. I'm troubled for my own

0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 1>teenagers to see that picture. There's no way you don't

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.599
<v Speaker 1>look at that picture if you play video games with

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 1>shooters on it, or watch movies or whatever. That guy

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:52.080
<v Speaker 1>looks cool in that picture, and he murdered people standing

0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.320
<v Speaker 1>in line for burgers in it in and out yesterday.

0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 1>And if there hadn't been some good guys there with guns,

0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.560
<v Speaker 1>he might have murdered twenty people. It might have been

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 1>one of our stories. And they make you look cool.

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.440
<v Speaker 1>What the earth is going on? Yeah?

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, and we need on a societal level and understanding

0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:12.400
<v Speaker 2>what you were talking about, the performative suicide and condemn

0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 2>it as the most evil thing a human being can

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.120
<v Speaker 2>possibly do, the most.

0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:22.599
<v Speaker 1>Pathetic and just awful and just sad, sick thing a

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.679
<v Speaker 1>human being can do. And understand that you will be

0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:29.400
<v Speaker 1>seen as an awful coward. You will be. We will

0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 1>spit on your grave, all of us, including your family. Well,

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.520
<v Speaker 1>the good place to start is don't put those pictures

0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 1>out there. Yeah well, what, Well, like you've said before,

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.199
<v Speaker 1>and I don't think it's an exaggeration. Hey, you want

0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.520
<v Speaker 1>to get the coolest Instagram post you could ever make

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 1>in your life? Blood If you can get enough blood,

0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.000
<v Speaker 1>murder enough people, in fact, if it's children and old people,

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.680
<v Speaker 1>make it more likely you get the coolest Facebook post

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.439
<v Speaker 1>you could ever come up with, because national media will

0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:02.040
<v Speaker 1>put cool pictures up you up there and most especially bonus,

0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.080
<v Speaker 1>if you have a list of grievance right right, you will.

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.839
<v Speaker 1>We will post your list of grievances, but we're gonna

0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:11.520
<v Speaker 1>need three bodies or more. That's the minimum. That's the

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.160
<v Speaker 1>cover charge. If you're really mad at one of your teachers,

0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 1>or your dad, or your friend group or your girlfriend.

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh I think you're transgender, or you think you were

0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.400
<v Speaker 1>and now you're not anymore again, we will read your

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.360
<v Speaker 1>list of grievances, but it'll cost you some bodies. There's

0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:29.760
<v Speaker 1>no way you could make an Instagram post that would

0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:32.800
<v Speaker 1>get this much attention about your problems that make you

0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 1>so unhappy. So go out and kill some innocent people.

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Try and eat burgers on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Yeah, God,

0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 1>it's disgusting, Yes it is. It is perhaps the most

0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.640
<v Speaker 1>horrifying thing a human being can do. I don't know

0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 1>how we break out of this, though, I don't. We've

0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:51.840
<v Speaker 1>talked about it a lot. I don't think enough people

0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:55.440
<v Speaker 1>have caught on. These are performative suicides. That is absolutely

0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent. What's happening. Yeah, that young man intended

0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.560
<v Speaker 1>to kill himself the from the moment he concede that

0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the plan. He just wanted to kill a bunch of

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 1>innocent people to express his anger at the world or

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:09.840
<v Speaker 1>his mom or whatever. And forever people did that alone

0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:14.040
<v Speaker 1>in a hotel room or whatever it was. It was

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:19.080
<v Speaker 1>sad and pathetic. It's always sad and pathetic. But now

0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:20.640
<v Speaker 1>you get to go out and a blaze what looks

0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.160
<v Speaker 1>like a blaze of glory, and hey, congratulations New York

0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Post from making it look like a blaze of glory

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.640
<v Speaker 1>making it look like glory. Nice job. So some other

0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.280
<v Speaker 1>disturbed twenty one year old out there right now today

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 1>he looks at that and thinks, man, look how cool

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I would look if I go out there and kill

0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.800
<v Speaker 1>some people today. And I'm not exaggerating, that's exactly what's happening.

0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:43.240
<v Speaker 1>We've talked to health professionals before. They all agreed unanimously

0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:45.280
<v Speaker 1>one time when we had a panel in here, that's

0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:49.800
<v Speaker 1>absolutely what we're doing right And again having a couple

0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 1>of teenage boys, I hate that they make these people

0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:57.840
<v Speaker 1>look cool. God, it's so twisted. That's our cultural problem.

0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:01.200
<v Speaker 1>It's not guns gotten in a mediately turning toward a gun,

0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.640
<v Speaker 1>some sort of gun law, common sense gun laws as

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:08.600
<v Speaker 1>will be oh my god, quoit holding up the most

0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.760
<v Speaker 1>disturbed person in the college classroom or the high school

0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.920
<v Speaker 1>classroom and making them look cool. But the break is happening,

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>and grievance culture is a big part of it too.

0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:22.640
<v Speaker 1>A good society in which being the victim, being the oppressed,

0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.560
<v Speaker 1>it makes you put you on top of the totem pole.

0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.600
<v Speaker 1>The more anger you can generate it how badly you've

0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.440
<v Speaker 1>been treated, the more kindly you are treated, the higher

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.080
<v Speaker 1>you are elevated. In progressive society, that's part of it too.

0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Hell no, we're not saying his name. That's the other part.

0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Cowardly piece of s that's his name. I was in

0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Twin Falls, Idaho last year on my long drive my boys,

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and I remember saying, this is like the nicest place

0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 1>I've ever been in my life. It really is among

0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.440
<v Speaker 1>the most beautiful little towns I've ever been to in

0:16:58.480 --> 0:16:59.720
<v Speaker 1>my life. I thought I could live the rest of

0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:04.200
<v Speaker 1>my life life or I may man. Some murderous lumpics

0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.440
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't take your life when you're at the in and

0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:10.080
<v Speaker 1>out in that town and if he does, he shouldn't

0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 1>be given the what what lighting could we do and

0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:15.159
<v Speaker 1>what filter could we put on the picture? And what

0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.240
<v Speaker 1>how do we crop it to make him look like

0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 1>a bad ass, like he's like he's dirty, hairy or something.

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, oh, great background for that shot, because in

0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.920
<v Speaker 2>and out it's walls are white. Yes, that's a good,

0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:29.320
<v Speaker 2>good shot, excellent shot. That's a pilot surprise winner. Let's

0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.040
<v Speaker 2>highlight the very small silver lining in the cloud, the

0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:37.480
<v Speaker 2>absolutely commendable courage of some of the citizens of the town.

0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Seventy two.

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:40.520
<v Speaker 3>We can confirm that there was an off doing a

0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:44.280
<v Speaker 3>state tromper and his citizen who actively engaged the suspect

0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.480
<v Speaker 3>by returning gunfire towards him. We want to take a

0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:49.960
<v Speaker 3>moment and commend the actions of the off Do you

0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:53.000
<v Speaker 3>all train the citizen and their heroic action has stopped

0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:55.760
<v Speaker 3>this in set. We believe our actions helped drive the

0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.400
<v Speaker 3>suspect away from the scene, preventing fun their casualties.

0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.280
<v Speaker 2>That was the the chief of police there in the town.

0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:09.640
<v Speaker 2>The hero civilian who fired had actually he'd witnessed another

0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:14.800
<v Speaker 2>mass shooting and thought I'm not going to be bystander

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:18.359
<v Speaker 2>if that happens again. So he got some serious firearms training,

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:22.640
<v Speaker 2>and they were going to get a burger. And as

0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:25.760
<v Speaker 2>soon as he heard the gunfire because they originally thought,

0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:27.360
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, is there a kitchen fire or something

0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:29.760
<v Speaker 2>because they saw people running out, he heard the gunfire,

0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 2>he grabbed his gun and sprinted toward it, took cover,

0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:37.880
<v Speaker 2>identified the shooter, and engaged him along with that off

0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:42.359
<v Speaker 2>duty highway patrol officer, which almost certainly saved many, many lives.

0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Do we know what gun he used? Quite possibly a glock,

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:48.400
<v Speaker 1>which is against the law to buy in California now,

0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:53.399
<v Speaker 1>which I've been complaining about as it happens. No, but

0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:55.760
<v Speaker 1>to be true, hit her a handgun in America, So

0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.359
<v Speaker 1>it was a decent guest if you're going to protect yourself,

0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.560
<v Speaker 1>and we outlawed in various places. Is with my whole

0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:04.320
<v Speaker 1>point being that you know this effort, ongoing effort to

0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:07.680
<v Speaker 1>make it really hard for law biding citizens to get

0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:10.800
<v Speaker 1>a gun or an ammunition clip, right, it's so crazy,

0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:16.159
<v Speaker 1>while simultaneously progressive government turns criminals loose from prisons in

0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.239
<v Speaker 1>the name of some bizarre world agenda, making it more

0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and more necessary to defend yourself, while they make it

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:26.000
<v Speaker 1>more and more difficult. I'm hot for this topic because

0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:29.520
<v Speaker 1>it caught me off guard and I thought, I want

0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:31.400
<v Speaker 1>to get a glock. It is the easiest used, most

0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.680
<v Speaker 1>popular handgun in the world, really, and they're cheap, and

0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:36.760
<v Speaker 1>that's one of the reasons people like them, good guys

0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:39.200
<v Speaker 1>and bad guys AnyWho. They outlawed it in California buying

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:40.840
<v Speaker 1>new ones you can only buy use with and I

0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:43.560
<v Speaker 1>was on some market trying to look on and so

0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:46.639
<v Speaker 1>the newest versions that you can get with these cool

0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:51.119
<v Speaker 1>add on whatever you call the red dot thing. So

0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:53.320
<v Speaker 1>it's basically, you put the red dot on somebody and

0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:56.280
<v Speaker 1>you're going to shoot them there, which makes it much

0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:58.200
<v Speaker 1>less likely you're going to shoot somebody else or anything

0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:01.199
<v Speaker 1>like that. They're especially a so the thing that can

0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:03.800
<v Speaker 1>you make you the best shot and the safest and

0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 1>whatever for shooting a bad guy. They really made illegal

0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:08.920
<v Speaker 1>in California because they don't want you to do that.

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:11.520
<v Speaker 1>If the bad guys do it now, they can do it,

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:13.920
<v Speaker 1>of course because right because they ignore the laws and

0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:20.680
<v Speaker 1>you Democrats won't prosecute them. You won't use firearms, add

0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:25.200
<v Speaker 1>ons enhancements, you never do. Good Lord. This segment brought

0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:27.680
<v Speaker 1>to you by the f N five to seven, a lightweight,

0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:39.920
<v Speaker 1>semi automatic full size pistol, which this fellow used. Jack

0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:42.480
<v Speaker 1>just sent me. We were talking about this not too

0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:51.760
<v Speaker 1>long ago. This transgender player dominating pardon me basketball. Yeah, yes,

0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:56.640
<v Speaker 1>this transgender player dominating France's second tier women's basketball league,

0:20:57.119 --> 0:21:01.440
<v Speaker 1>and now the WNBA is not out of the question.

0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:05.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean he is is clearly heading toward I mean

0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:08.280
<v Speaker 2>he he's a hell of a woman. I mean, this

0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:12.960
<v Speaker 2>woman deserves our respect. He averaged twenty one points and

0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:15.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty rebounds, swept player of the year, Defensive player of

0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 2>the Year, and uh domestic player of the year, meeting

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 2>French player of the Year in the French league after

0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:23.320
<v Speaker 2>a record breaking campaign, and won't rule out a run

0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:27.040
<v Speaker 2>at the WNBA, proving once again men are better at

0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:28.200
<v Speaker 2>being women than women.

0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:30.639
<v Speaker 1>And he got a couple of coaches in recent days

0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:35.399
<v Speaker 1>because of the whole Maga Barbie Sophie Cunningham thing. I

0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:37.480
<v Speaker 1>don't like that term. I just that's what they call her.

0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:40.760
<v Speaker 1>And the coach is coming out and saying, I believe

0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:43.160
<v Speaker 1>in inclusivity. So yeah, guys should be able to play

0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:45.720
<v Speaker 1>a trans women should be able to play in a league. Okay,

0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:47.879
<v Speaker 1>you just set it out loud, what here he comes?

0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:51.800
<v Speaker 1>And on your bluff? Yeah, here he comes? And are

0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:54.119
<v Speaker 1>you not gonna sign him because would he make your

0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:58.040
<v Speaker 1>team better or not? Clearly? Yes, of course, yeah, because

0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:00.760
<v Speaker 1>you do as a man is with you a very

0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:02.920
<v Speaker 1>big man too, if you don't sign him up for

0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:05.040
<v Speaker 1>your team, what's the reason? Exactly?

0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:08.959
<v Speaker 2>And muscular too. I wish I had arms like that woman. Anyway,

0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:13.399
<v Speaker 2>who is a man? The idea that that is looney

0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Tunes is just common sense. And we were talking about

0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:20.560
<v Speaker 2>common sense the other day and talking about a definition

0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:22.960
<v Speaker 2>for it, and I threw it out to you good

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:25.080
<v Speaker 2>people to find common sense for us.

0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Thought I'd run through a handful of those. I have

0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:28.560
<v Speaker 1>my own, Jack, I don't know if you have one

0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:30.960
<v Speaker 1>or or could craft one. Well, just to set it

0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:34.000
<v Speaker 1>up what I've always You've been hearing this your whole life. Yeah,

0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:36.400
<v Speaker 1>he's book smart, but he doesn't have any common sense. Well,

0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I've never heard did they qualify that as one of

0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:41.320
<v Speaker 1>the kinds of intelligence now that we've broken it down

0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:45.120
<v Speaker 1>to emotional intelligence? Or what are some of the other

0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:51.359
<v Speaker 1>ones mathematical, spatial, musical, right, athletic, intelligence, which is the

0:22:51.400 --> 0:22:54.600
<v Speaker 1>brain communicating with the muscles. It's absolutely a form of intelligence.

0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Is there one that's just common sense? Right?

0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, such an interesting question. I'm going to kick it

0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:05.840
<v Speaker 2>off the various attempts with our good, good old friend Paul,

0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:09.560
<v Speaker 2>former colleague Paul Robbins, just one of the best people

0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:13.280
<v Speaker 2>we've worked with, and he's quoting from the book Being Logical,

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:15.800
<v Speaker 2>A Guide to Good Thinking by d Q. McInerney, which

0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:17.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, but I'm going to dig into.

0:23:18.920 --> 0:23:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Common sense is that.

0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Homey, everyday type of reasoning which is born out of

0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:25.639
<v Speaker 2>an alert awareness of and respect for the obvious. It

0:23:25.720 --> 0:23:29.800
<v Speaker 2>is characterized by the unfailing capacity consistently to distinguish between

0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:33.400
<v Speaker 2>a cat and a kangaroo. I don't know that last part,

0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:35.399
<v Speaker 2>but anyway, thank you for that.

0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Grasping the obvious, because the reason we got into this

0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:42.080
<v Speaker 1>conversation was talking about how can these socialists believe these things?

0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 1>That whatever that first phrase was, you'd think looking around you,

0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:50.640
<v Speaker 1>you'd recognize this doesn't make any sense, right, This could

0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:54.439
<v Speaker 1>never work? Yeah, right, right, and which you know, I'm

0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:57.320
<v Speaker 1>going to end with mine, which is only ten words long.

0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:01.000
<v Speaker 2>I think I kind of correctly my mathematical intelligence is unimpressive.

0:24:01.640 --> 0:24:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Let's see how about Ron, He says, Guys, I'll give

0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:07.800
<v Speaker 2>this a shot. Common sense the understanding of basic truisms.

0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:13.440
<v Speaker 2>That's not exactly what a truism is. But then he says,

0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:15.680
<v Speaker 2>next question would be why if some people seem to

0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:17.600
<v Speaker 2>lack common sense. I think that's due to either a

0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:19.639
<v Speaker 2>people who see the world as they wish it to

0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:22.680
<v Speaker 2>be rather than what is, and or ideology, social pressure, etc.

0:24:23.200 --> 0:24:26.399
<v Speaker 2>Is at odds and supersedes the basic truism. Yeah, I

0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:31.560
<v Speaker 2>think that's pretty You're definitely you know, Ron, what is?

0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes you can define something by defining the lack of

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:40.600
<v Speaker 2>it more accurately. So nice, nice job there. Baljeitt says,

0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:43.400
<v Speaker 2>definition told me when I was a kid. Common sense

0:24:43.480 --> 0:24:45.639
<v Speaker 2>or ideas that are so obviously true that they are

0:24:45.720 --> 0:24:48.040
<v Speaker 2>commonly held by a majority of people, or at least

0:24:48.040 --> 0:24:49.880
<v Speaker 2>should be interesting.

0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:57.520
<v Speaker 1>There is something going on there with the you cloud

0:24:58.280 --> 0:25:00.959
<v Speaker 1>so human beings, we taken off kinds of information through

0:25:01.000 --> 0:25:02.879
<v Speaker 1>our eyes and ears and reading everything like that, and

0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:08.359
<v Speaker 1>you cloud reality with a theory either that you came

0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:11.240
<v Speaker 1>up with on your own or somebody put in your head. Right,

0:25:11.560 --> 0:25:13.680
<v Speaker 1>that might be it. And I've talked for years about

0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:17.920
<v Speaker 1>how I've known so many successful businessmen that like, don't

0:25:17.920 --> 0:25:21.280
<v Speaker 1>pay attention to the news, they don't read books, They

0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 1>just like observe the world. Yeah, and they're not clouded

0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:27.639
<v Speaker 1>by all these different things. They're just as, what do

0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I got to do to make this business make money?

0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:32.960
<v Speaker 1>People would like this, people would hate that. And I

0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:35.640
<v Speaker 1>wonder if it's some of that, you know, the lack

0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:38.760
<v Speaker 1>of common sense. I might describe as trying to put

0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:42.440
<v Speaker 1>a framework on the world that doesn't fit. That's what

0:25:42.640 --> 0:25:45.640
<v Speaker 1>these you know, That's why soel has said, and I've

0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 1>quoted them so many times, there's some ideas so ridiculous

0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:51.119
<v Speaker 1>only an intellectual could have them. I think that's it.

0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:55.200
<v Speaker 1>They are so determined not only to put a framework

0:25:55.400 --> 0:25:58.200
<v Speaker 1>on the world, but like an original one that makes

0:25:58.240 --> 0:26:01.879
<v Speaker 1>them seem really really smart. And they're so ego driven

0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:05.720
<v Speaker 1>it blinds them to common sense. And that's a yeah.

0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's see Ana Luisa writes the ability to deal with

0:26:09.640 --> 0:26:13.159
<v Speaker 1>situations and people in a practical, clear headed way apart

0:26:13.240 --> 0:26:16.760
<v Speaker 1>from emotion, sentiment and social pressure. That's really good and

0:26:16.840 --> 0:26:19.639
<v Speaker 1>that's really similar to mine too. And hold that one. Uh,

0:26:19.720 --> 0:26:22.320
<v Speaker 1>let's see Corey says the reason common sense is the

0:26:22.400 --> 0:26:24.720
<v Speaker 1>reasoning capacity to survive in a world.

0:26:24.760 --> 0:26:28.680
<v Speaker 2>With no warning labels. That's that's funny, that's you know what.

0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:31.520
<v Speaker 2>That's even better than I thought it was. I don't

0:26:31.560 --> 0:26:33.959
<v Speaker 2>need a label to tell me if I fall off

0:26:34.000 --> 0:26:36.760
<v Speaker 2>the ladder, I'm gonna break my head. Common sense tells

0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:42.119
<v Speaker 2>me that. Wow, nice point, Corey, don't drink this cleaning supply.

0:26:42.960 --> 0:26:44.160
<v Speaker 2>How about the dawn?

0:26:45.280 --> 0:26:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Uh?

0:26:47.119 --> 0:26:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Common sense equals if plus then maybe common sense is

0:26:51.520 --> 0:26:54.440
<v Speaker 2>just the ability to see if then not just if,

0:26:55.560 --> 0:26:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Like the developmental stages of realizing actions have consequences, the

0:26:59.280 --> 0:27:01.439
<v Speaker 2>lure of the social as communists might be dangling yet

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:06.359
<v Speaker 2>another shiny if. Every time someone brings up than this,

0:27:07.240 --> 0:27:08.359
<v Speaker 2>it's an interesting thought.

0:27:09.119 --> 0:27:17.040
<v Speaker 1>A couple more. That's kind of tough to follow. Yeah,

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Mary and Idaho. Common sense is basic practical wisdom. It

0:27:22.320 --> 0:27:25.719
<v Speaker 1>has learned from general generational truism, sayings and warnings. It's

0:27:25.840 --> 0:27:30.760
<v Speaker 1>protect protective advice learned from bad experiences. Okay, then, finally,

0:27:30.880 --> 0:27:35.600
<v Speaker 1>this from Brian, common sense is different for everyone. It's

0:27:35.600 --> 0:27:38.119
<v Speaker 1>based on personal experience and what you've learned from people

0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:40.600
<v Speaker 1>with more experience than you, So listen to people with

0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:41.639
<v Speaker 1>more experience than you.

0:27:41.800 --> 0:27:45.760
<v Speaker 2>That's just common sense, all right. I think Ana Luisis

0:27:45.840 --> 0:27:48.080
<v Speaker 2>was probably my favorite. Here's the one I cooked up.

0:27:48.840 --> 0:27:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Common sense is clear perception combined with a solid understanding

0:27:53.520 --> 0:27:58.800
<v Speaker 2>of human behavior, clear perception of the point of not

0:27:58.880 --> 0:28:01.879
<v Speaker 2>being blinded by ideaslogy or your hopes and wishes. And

0:28:01.960 --> 0:28:06.360
<v Speaker 2>the human behavior part is if somebody.

0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:10.359
<v Speaker 1>Comes on way too friendly, way too aggressively, common sense

0:28:10.440 --> 0:28:14.719
<v Speaker 1>tells you they want something, watch out. So emotional intelligence,

0:28:15.800 --> 0:28:20.040
<v Speaker 1>clear perception plus emotional intelligence. That's common sense with a

0:28:20.119 --> 0:28:24.800
<v Speaker 1>twist of lemon. What I like the uh whoever had

0:28:24.840 --> 0:28:29.520
<v Speaker 1>in there something about like knowledge or information, experience and

0:28:29.880 --> 0:28:33.120
<v Speaker 1>social pressure, because social pressure is the thing too. Clearly,

0:28:34.720 --> 0:28:40.320
<v Speaker 1>some people are susceptible to social pressure, sending them against

0:28:40.600 --> 0:28:48.520
<v Speaker 1>all of their experience. Right, you've never had the experience

0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:52.280
<v Speaker 1>of I mean, it probably had never occurred to you

0:28:52.360 --> 0:28:55.360
<v Speaker 1>in your life, the idea that boys should participate in girls' sports,

0:28:55.480 --> 0:28:57.960
<v Speaker 1>just to use that one again. But the social pressure

0:28:58.080 --> 0:29:01.760
<v Speaker 1>just overrode all the common sense other common sense stuff.

0:29:03.040 --> 0:29:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Wow wow. So and that social fear is fear, a

0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:12.640
<v Speaker 1>fear of not being accepted. So fear blinds common sense

0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:19.080
<v Speaker 1>at times, as does hope or or wishful thinking. Interesting. Well,

0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I hope that was even slightly helpful to anybody. I'm

0:29:22.240 --> 0:29:25.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of surprised this isn't a more common conversation. Seems

0:29:25.800 --> 0:29:28.960
<v Speaker 1>to be pretty important. Yeah, I would agree. I would agree.

0:29:29.000 --> 0:29:30.720
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, it's one of those we know

0:29:30.880 --> 0:29:35.240
<v Speaker 1>when we see it. Things common sense. But can you

0:29:35.280 --> 0:29:39.440
<v Speaker 1>have too much common sense and not enough no book smarts? Yeah?

0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so either. Oh no, No, I don't

0:29:41.640 --> 0:29:46.360
<v Speaker 1>think common sense blinds ideology blind's common sense? Yeah, it

0:29:46.480 --> 0:29:48.800
<v Speaker 1>only goes one direction. No, In fact, I think it's

0:29:48.840 --> 0:29:51.800
<v Speaker 1>common sense to learn as much as you can and

0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:54.720
<v Speaker 1>filter it through. Well, that theory makes sense to me.

0:29:54.960 --> 0:30:00.520
<v Speaker 1>That is crap. Yeah. Yeah, a word from our friends

0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:04.600
<v Speaker 1>at Blue Collar Dollar. You're a hard work or, you're

<v Speaker 1>your blue collars sort of worker. People I have grown

0:31:24.560 --> 0:31:26.840
<v Speaker 1>up with and better around my whole life have more

0:31:26.920 --> 0:31:30.560
<v Speaker 1>common sense than other people. Why do you suppose that

0:31:30.600 --> 0:31:35.840
<v Speaker 1>it's because it's necessary to survive? I think so, or

0:31:35.920 --> 0:31:38.880
<v Speaker 1>having just much crap thrown at them, that clouds your

0:31:39.000 --> 0:31:41.280
<v Speaker 1>common sense, because that might be what happened to a

0:31:41.320 --> 0:31:44.280
<v Speaker 1>certain extent, going to college clouds people's common sense.

0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:49.320
<v Speaker 2>I think it can. Yeah, yeah, you can lose it

0:31:49.840 --> 0:31:54.800
<v Speaker 2>in enthusiasm for new ideas. I'm I'm trying to process.

0:31:54.880 --> 0:31:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Where does some working class guys who I was very

0:31:58.240 --> 0:32:01.200
<v Speaker 1>fond of, really enjoyed talking to them, who were absolutely

0:32:01.320 --> 0:32:05.719
<v Speaker 1>falling for the Candice Owen's grift. Ah good point. Good points,

0:32:06.320 --> 0:32:11.480
<v Speaker 1>because that is a grifter appealing to their perception of

0:32:11.520 --> 0:32:14.680
<v Speaker 1>their own common sense but twisting it for her profit,

0:32:16.320 --> 0:32:18.560
<v Speaker 1>saying come on, this doesn't connect.

0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:20.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean there's something going on here. No, you can't

0:32:21.000 --> 0:32:25.120
<v Speaker 2>fool me, saying hey, if you have common sense, you'll

0:32:25.160 --> 0:32:28.480
<v Speaker 2>agree with me. And as people who pride themselves on

0:32:28.560 --> 0:32:31.760
<v Speaker 2>their common sense, they get yanked along by that. So

0:32:31.840 --> 0:32:34.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where that falls into our rubric or

0:32:35.160 --> 0:32:39.080
<v Speaker 2>X and Y axis or cloud of word cloud or

0:32:39.120 --> 0:32:39.400
<v Speaker 2>whatever the.

0:32:39.400 --> 0:32:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Hell we're doing here, But Jack Armstrong and Joe Gaddy

0:32:43.360 --> 0:32:45.880
<v Speaker 1>we've decided to call this the best weekend talk show

0:32:45.880 --> 0:32:48.040
<v Speaker 1>in America. And if you like it and download Armstrong,

0:32:48.080 --> 0:32:53.400
<v Speaker 1>you get it. Arm Demand. Here's your freedom loving quota

0:32:53.400 --> 0:32:55.239
<v Speaker 1>of the Day came across this the other day from

0:32:55.280 --> 0:32:58.440
<v Speaker 1>columnist Walter Russell Meade. He was talking about the state

0:32:58.480 --> 0:33:00.680
<v Speaker 1>of the world and the nation and all the threats

0:33:00.840 --> 0:33:03.600
<v Speaker 1>that surround the United States, and I won't freak you

0:33:03.640 --> 0:33:07.040
<v Speaker 1>out further by listing them, but he said, this greatness

0:33:07.120 --> 0:33:11.520
<v Speaker 1>in presidents has three components. Great presidents grasp the true

0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:15.640
<v Speaker 1>nature of the country's challenges. They communicate that vision effectively

0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:19.560
<v Speaker 1>to the American people, and despite the inevitable mistakes and misfires,

0:33:19.600 --> 0:33:21.959
<v Speaker 1>they ultimately find the right people and the right methods

0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:24.960
<v Speaker 1>to deal with those challenges. I think that's a nice,

0:33:25.320 --> 0:33:28.840
<v Speaker 1>nice capsule explanation of what makes a great president. I

0:33:28.880 --> 0:33:31.040
<v Speaker 1>think that's right. What year did we stop doing then?

0:33:32.360 --> 0:33:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh gosh, well, you know, if you went issue by issue,

0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:38.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean the current guy, some I'd give him an

0:33:38.240 --> 0:33:40.640
<v Speaker 1>A plus absolutely on all three of those things, and

0:33:40.760 --> 0:33:46.320
<v Speaker 1>some I would not so much. Mailbag the border a plus,

0:33:46.920 --> 0:33:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, for instance. I didn't want to make it

0:33:48.560 --> 0:33:49.880
<v Speaker 1>about the current guy. I just thought it was a

0:33:49.880 --> 0:33:52.320
<v Speaker 1>pretty good framework, folk, meaning looking at.

0:33:52.240 --> 0:33:55.680
<v Speaker 2>The president's who drops a note, wo'sjem mailbag at Armstrong

0:33:55.720 --> 0:33:58.080
<v Speaker 2>e Getty dot com. Katie Rere, you joined US staff

0:33:58.360 --> 0:34:01.560
<v Speaker 2>after her maternity to Believe yesterday. Not surprisingly, a number

0:34:01.560 --> 0:34:06.200
<v Speaker 2>of people wrote things like this from be Life's Throwings

0:34:06.360 --> 0:34:08.240
<v Speaker 2>at Me this morning, so I couldn't turned the program

0:34:08.360 --> 0:34:09.600
<v Speaker 2>on until halfway through.

0:34:10.200 --> 0:34:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Can't tell you how nice it was to hear Katie's.

0:34:12.280 --> 0:34:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Voice, even though her first words were about Jack scratching

0:34:16.760 --> 0:34:17.040
<v Speaker 2>his ass.

0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I have no memory of that, lot, I don't remember that.

0:34:21.280 --> 0:34:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I think that's true. I know that's true. Welcome back

0:34:24.480 --> 0:34:30.080
<v Speaker 1>and flower bouquets very sweet. Did you stake yours yesterday? Jack? No, No,

0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:32.640
<v Speaker 1>I probably did, but that's a decide your sex. I'd

0:34:32.719 --> 0:34:35.400
<v Speaker 1>rather not discuss it whether he did or not. And

0:34:35.520 --> 0:34:38.040
<v Speaker 1>then this on the One More Thing podcast, Katie was

0:34:38.080 --> 0:34:40.160
<v Speaker 1>talking about know it alls who tried to instruct you

0:34:40.280 --> 0:34:44.920
<v Speaker 1>on mothering. This from a doctor B frequent correspondent and

0:34:45.000 --> 0:34:47.240
<v Speaker 1>great guy, really enjoys notes. My wife has a circle

0:34:47.280 --> 0:34:49.919
<v Speaker 1>of mommy friends that they connected with at the maternity center.

0:34:50.520 --> 0:34:52.520
<v Speaker 1>One of them was a nanny for eighteen years before

0:34:52.600 --> 0:34:54.400
<v Speaker 1>she had her kid. She's kind of a know it all.

0:34:54.600 --> 0:34:57.359
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes she can be a bit difficult to take. There's

0:34:57.360 --> 0:35:00.640
<v Speaker 1>another mommy from Thailand who's really cool. At one point,

0:35:00.760 --> 0:35:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the nanny mommy started talking to Galog the Philippine language

0:35:05.400 --> 0:35:08.320
<v Speaker 1>to the Thailand mommy, thinking that you would undertest sandwich.

0:35:08.360 --> 0:35:10.400
<v Speaker 2>She was saying, Thime. Mommy said, I don't know what

0:35:10.520 --> 0:35:13.759
<v Speaker 2>you're saying. We speak Thai. Clearly she did not know

0:35:13.880 --> 0:35:16.160
<v Speaker 2>it at all. We all had a good laugh at that.

0:35:16.920 --> 0:35:19.600
<v Speaker 1>So she had some sort of there are two languages

0:35:19.680 --> 0:35:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and we both speak the other one. I mean, or

0:35:21.920 --> 0:35:24.399
<v Speaker 1>she thought she recognized it and was gonna show off.

0:35:24.440 --> 0:35:27.520
<v Speaker 1>It's like when somebody orders in French at a restaurant.

0:35:27.600 --> 0:35:29.880
<v Speaker 1>It was that kind of moment, that's a double know

0:35:30.000 --> 0:35:32.400
<v Speaker 1>it all, like you thought you knew the language they spoke,

0:35:32.480 --> 0:35:34.480
<v Speaker 1>and then yeah.

0:35:34.920 --> 0:35:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, yeah, yeah, I'm glad you're enjoying that. And then

0:35:39.080 --> 0:35:44.160
<v Speaker 2>finally Katie mentioned the very very creepy was it chatchypt

0:35:45.480 --> 0:35:50.120
<v Speaker 2>that told you to give extra snuggle for it? Yeah,

0:35:50.680 --> 0:35:52.200
<v Speaker 2>give Van an extra snuggle for me?

0:35:52.680 --> 0:35:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes, WHOA. Why do we program these things to talk

0:35:56.080 --> 0:35:58.759
<v Speaker 1>that way? Because most people like it? And I called

0:35:58.840 --> 0:36:02.000
<v Speaker 1>him monkey Man one time and it was like, oh,

0:36:02.080 --> 0:36:04.680
<v Speaker 1>we make sure you give monkey Man some extra milk

0:36:04.800 --> 0:36:10.160
<v Speaker 1>for me. Yeah, that's horrifying, gives me the creeps. I know.

0:36:10.440 --> 0:36:13.399
<v Speaker 1>That's also one of my favorite Rolling Stone songs monkey man, Oh,

0:36:13.640 --> 0:36:18.360
<v Speaker 1>let's see I okay. So here's a note from s

0:36:18.920 --> 0:36:19.880
<v Speaker 1>first initial s.

0:36:20.640 --> 0:36:24.239
<v Speaker 2>It's been doing one of the GLP one drugs and

0:36:24.480 --> 0:36:27.200
<v Speaker 2>is kind of keeping a diary to keep track of

0:36:27.320 --> 0:36:31.239
<v Speaker 2>side effects and effectiveness and the rest of it. And

0:36:31.440 --> 0:36:34.759
<v Speaker 2>at one point she was asking about acid reflux and

0:36:34.880 --> 0:36:38.240
<v Speaker 2>chat GPT said, I smiled a little because I remember

0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:40.400
<v Speaker 2>how much you enjoy your protein coffee.

0:36:40.239 --> 0:36:40.840
<v Speaker 1>In the mornings.

0:36:41.040 --> 0:36:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Ow, you smiled, chat stop doing that, As my teenage

0:36:44.800 --> 0:36:46.840
<v Speaker 2>daughter said, it's giving me creepy vibes.

0:36:47.719 --> 0:36:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Also mad teas I'm doing a GLP one No, we

0:36:51.680 --> 0:36:56.200
<v Speaker 1>talk about that later. Also, wow, so is your belief

0:36:56.280 --> 0:36:59.479
<v Speaker 1>there pro everybody's programming their chatbots to do that because

0:36:59.480 --> 0:37:01.160
<v Speaker 1>they all seem to do that a little bit. Or

0:37:01.360 --> 0:37:06.200
<v Speaker 1>does the or does AI automatically gravitate toward that because

0:37:06.239 --> 0:37:09.480
<v Speaker 1>it's trying to please its user. The companies have a

0:37:09.560 --> 0:37:13.320
<v Speaker 1>tremendous amount of data that they collect on I like

0:37:13.440 --> 0:37:15.400
<v Speaker 1>this answer, I didn't like this answer, that sort of thing,

0:37:15.440 --> 0:37:19.400
<v Speaker 1>and they're seeing a trend that most people like that. No,

0:37:19.680 --> 0:37:25.000
<v Speaker 1>that quasi human connection. Oh, I it's weird. I don't know,

0:37:25.160 --> 0:37:27.160
<v Speaker 1>but I've thought humanity is weird since I was eight

0:37:27.280 --> 0:37:32.200
<v Speaker 1>years old. The quasi I'm fine with, I think, but

0:37:32.600 --> 0:37:36.759
<v Speaker 1>the give your baby a snuggle for me? Right, that's

0:37:36.800 --> 0:37:40.000
<v Speaker 1>going beyond quause. Are you pretending to be a human? Yeah? Yeah.

0:37:40.200 --> 0:37:43.560
<v Speaker 1>And finally this one Donnie's new grocery stores. The signage

0:37:43.640 --> 0:37:46.160
<v Speaker 1>is out. Instead of being called seven eleven, it's going

0:37:46.239 --> 0:37:49.440
<v Speaker 1>to be called nine to eleven, which is interesting. Oh,

0:37:49.840 --> 0:37:52.600
<v Speaker 1>that reminds me of that track branding.

0:37:53.000 --> 0:38:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, shot show, I'm showing h
