1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Shoe Getty.

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jettie and he Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 3: I don't know if you're happy with the way your

5
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 3: March Madness bracket is going. But as far as brackets

6
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 3: that are on on some sort of online site where

7
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 3: you can check and there's a bunch of different websites

8
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 3: that you fill in brackets and you get part of

9
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 3: the whole national pool and everything like that, there's one

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 3: perfect bracket left in the entire country. So some eighth

11
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 3: grade kids somewhere, wow, picked all the upsets randomly. I'm sure. Yeah,

12
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 3: but there's one perfect bracket left. It's so much like

13
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 3: a lottery ticket, very similar.

14
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, only one team on my bracket, and that's the

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 4: fighting line. I have Illinois and they're in the eight

17
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 4: and I'm getting more more and more tense. I thought

18
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 4: I'd left the hole I care about this behind, But

19
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 4: all of a sudden.

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: I went to that school size.

21
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 3: That's a reflection on me, that's funds a reflection on you.

22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: Well, it's clearly that's the way people think. Oh sure,

23
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: I mean if they win.

24
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna run into buddies who are big sports fans

25
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 3: this weekend and they're gonna.

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 4: Say, wow, final line, I look great, dude, Yeah, hey,

27
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 4: give me my five for year a lot. And it's like, yeah,

28
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 4: I didn't play basketball. It's funny. It's just funny phenomenon.

29
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 4: It is speaking. It is anti intellectual.

30
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 3: Most sports rooting or feelings are anti intellectual, but they

31
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 3: happen anyway, and.

32
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 4: It's crazy fun And as I've explained to my wife,

33
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 4: it's a drama that nobody knows the end of or

34
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 4: the plot of when it begins. You might think you do,

35
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,919
Speaker 4: but you're off and wrong. So it's just it's interesting anyway,

36
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 4: love sports speak of college. It's a campus madness update.

37
00:01:58,560 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 4: It's been a while.

38
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: As usually are turning my working later, there's the magsy

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: that's the matter. And it came. It really came hard,

40
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: and they were stabbed with a knife of political correctness,

41
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: yes exactly.

42
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 3: A handful of headlines leading up to a college professor's

43
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 3: discussion of what happened.

44
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: This story outraged me.

45
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 4: But Virginia, which has swung way left in recent years,

46
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 4: the Virginia Democrats in the legislature are attacking VMI, the

47
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 4: Virginia Military Institute. They are trying to dismantle the stewardship

48
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 4: of it, the trustees and all, and load it with

49
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 4: a bunch of progressives because they find it to be

50
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 4: essentially two militaristic, too traditional, too misogynistic, just the attitudes

51
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 4: of a military academy. So they're trying to and turn

52
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 4: it into yet another progressive university. It's disgusting anyway. I

53
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 4: could talk about that more, but we have a lot

54
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 4: to get to. Here's the headline for you. Why grad

55
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 4: students at Columbia may go on strike has nothing to

56
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 4: do with pay, benefits, working condition, working conditions.

57
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: It's all about sticking it to Israel and the Jews.

58
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 4: The graduate students are all going to go on strike

59
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 4: because they want the university to be harder core anti jew.

60
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 4: Their president isn't even allowed on campus because he was

61
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 4: one of the people who's arrested for occupying Hamilton Hall

62
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty four, was expelled and is no longer

63
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 4: employed by the university, but he's still paid over forty

64
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 4: six thousand dollars a year to be the head of

65
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 4: the grad student union.

66
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: Man that is a screwed up institution.

67
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 4: And this In a related story, a New York judge

68
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 4: said Columbia cannot expel or discipline students who stormed and

69
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 4: occupied the campus building.

70
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: You gotta be kidding me, no, he said, because since they.

71
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 4: Were wearing masks, you can't prove they're the ones that

72
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 4: did the bad stuff. All you can prove is that

73
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 4: they were in the building while it was being occupied.

74
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 3: That is him coming up with a thin excuse to

75
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 3: not have to discipline anybody who did something that should

76
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 3: violate you getting to be a student there.

77
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 4: And he's, oh, oh my god, he's super affirmed that

78
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 4: it's important to wear masks while you're conducting violent, destructive protests.

79
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 4: He laid down the precedent and the idea that a

80
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 4: university couldn't say. And look, it's not like the Capitol

81
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 4: on January sixth, where some people just wandered in after

82
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 4: and were looking around and got hammered for it. This

83
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: is a violent occupation of a university building in which

84
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 4: the janitor was threatened, and the rest of it.

85
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 3: And if you were in there, get out, you're expelled.

86
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: Go find another university. You can't come here. Is perfectly

87
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: legitimate in my world. Anyway, Good job your honor.

88
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 4: You see, Burt allows the Students for Justice in Palestine

89
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 4: chapter to display a symbol Hamas uses to mark Israeli targets.

90
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 4: They've permitted the SJP to use the red triangle, which

91
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 4: is the actual symbol of Hamas for where Jews are

92
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 4: going to be struck down and killed or where they

93
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,559
Speaker 4: have been struck down and killed. Wait to go, you see, Berkeley, Yeah,

94
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 4: that's diversity. You suck moving along. Arizona. Oh, you know what,

95
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I forgot. My premise in all of this

96
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 4: is there has been tiny progress in reforming the universities

97
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 4: and twisting their arms a little bit, but it's been tiny.

98
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 3: They're still so screwed up. Arizona's public universities require honor

99
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 3: students to study far left material, including the relationship this

100
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 3: is a quote, the relationship between the white female gaze

101
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 3: and the eroticized black male body. You must take the

102
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 3: racially divisive, anti capitalist, anti Israel and d T nation

103
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 3: to get into the honors school. And they go into

104
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: the whole syllabus for this what was that phrase, but

105
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 3: the male gaze.

106
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 4: Relationship between the white female gaze and the eroticized black

107
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 4: male body.

108
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 2: All right, a lot.

109
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 4: Of the mum mumbo jumbo you'd expect. One seminar session

110
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 4: is almost entirely composed of left wing ideological readings, including

111
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 4: back Black Skin, White Masks by France Fannan, the nineteen

112
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,799
Speaker 4: sixties philosopher who is one of a couple of people

113
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 4: at the very heart of critical theory and radical gender

114
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 4: theory and queer theory and the rest of it. Fannon

115
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 4: is like their George Washington, So he's being taught to

116
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 4: the kids. Sexual Politics by Kate Millett, which argues that

117
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 4: society is controlled by the patriarchy, and an interview with

118
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 4: Angela Davis, a militant black power activist and former Communist

119
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 4: Party USA member. Again, this is a required course. Moving along, Oh,

120
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 4: this is hilarious. You remember Clouding Gay, who was ousted

121
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 4: as Harvard president's shortest tenure in Harvard history because of her.

122
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: Terrible job of answering the questions about their how they

123
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 3: were handling their pantise.

124
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, right, exactly, and she plagiarized everything she ever

125
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 4: did right, right, and which led to the revelation on

126
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 4: the Armstrong E. Getty Show which was quite a revealing

127
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 4: revelation that, well, of course she plagiarizes everything. There's no

128
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 4: actual studies in ethnic studies. You're just indoctrinated to repeat

129
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 4: the same, you know, party line talking points. So how

130
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 4: are you not going to plagiarize? But anyway, two years

131
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 4: after she resigned in disgrace as president of Harvard, she's

132
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 4: returning to the classroom to teach a Harvard course on

133
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 4: this is the name of the course? What is a

134
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 4: university purpose in politics and higher education?

135
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: Oh god, it's parody.

136
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, all these worthless classes and were fless

137
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 3: discussions that they charge you so much money for and

138
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: feel so good about themselves and that makes you so

139
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 3: much better than me as someone who didn't.

140
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: Go to that colleges. Oh, it all is so annoying.

141
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 3: I know.

142
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 4: All right, we'll just buzz through these last couple. Indiana

143
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 4: University launched his investigation in a Muslim philanthropy initiative that

144
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 4: gave fundraising advice to a sham group financing hamas. UCLA

145
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 4: taps director of Harvard Center that was accused of anti

146
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 4: semitism as.

147
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: Their next public health dean.

148
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 4: And there was anti semitism and I love this headline

149
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:39,119
Speaker 4: decolonial organizing lessons from Gaza's Warrior Mujaha Dean Union Theological seminary,

150
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 4: a Columbia school back to Columbia to host talk from

151
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 4: activist scholar banned by Columbia for endorsing Hamas. So he's

152
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 4: been banned, but the seminary is going to have him speak.

153
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 4: And finally this that I really liked. It's reloading of

154
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: course three two one.

155
00:08:59,280 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: Here we go.

156
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 4: It's a really interesting Twitter post by Alan Charles Corrs,

157
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 4: who's a professor. He says, I was the first mini

158
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 4: generation to get a wave of job applications to join

159
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 4: a faculty from people who had really gone out of

160
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 4: the standard box. So you had radical feminist scholars, you

161
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 4: had race theory scholars. And my view was you bend

162
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 4: over backwards to hire people who think differently from the way.

163
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 2: You do, or you don't have a university.

164
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 3: You hire bright, inform knowledgeable people who hold different views.

165
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: That's what we do here.

166
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 4: So I and the people like me, all my similar

167
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 4: buddies at Penn, we'd bent over backwards to hire radical feminists,

168
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 4: to hire radical black post colonial studies. But those people

169
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 4: when they came in shut the door behind them. They

170
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 4: would not hire anyone who is different from themselves, and

171
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 4: change happens very quickly if the natural selection is only

172
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 4: one group gets everything new. And that's what happened at universities.

173
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 4: So pluralistic hiring seemed to me an absolute commitment if

174
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 4: you to be on a university faculty. But they, the

175
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 4: people we hired, rejected that premise completely. And there's such

176
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 4: bullies and so vicious everybody brought back down.

177
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: That's something. That's how it happened.

178
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 4: It's campus madness.

179
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 2: Why are you okay? Oh well, it's so damn much madness.

180
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 3: She's trying to go to college and she runs into

181
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 3: madness every time she turns around.

182
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: Poor girl, what happened to her?

183
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 4: Probably goes to Columbia. Hey weren't from our friends at

203
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 4: is in doggy Heaven. Judy and I have continued our walks,

204
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 4: but they're more like exercise walks. And one of our neighbors,

205
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 4: who's a just complete dog lover, I'd forgotten that she

206
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 4: didn't know that Baxter was gone.

207
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 2: She'd always pat them on stuff.

208
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 4: And Judy and I were taking our walk and we're

209
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 4: in the midst of a hilarious conversation and.

210
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 2: She stopped. She saw us in her car and said

211
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 2: where's back? Her? Is he okay?

212
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 4: And we're both in a very jovial road And I said, no, no,

213
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 4: he's in doggy heaven. And her mood was all, oh,

214
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 4: my god, grief and I'm so sorry and all and

215
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 4: we're like again in the middle of a very funny conversation.

216
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 4: And so I realized I had to like gear down.

217
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 4: And I think I weirded her out a little bit.

218
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 3: You should have done the Oscar thing that I was

219
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 3: going to complain about last Monday. The women especially who

220
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: learned that whole sounding like you're crying all the time voice,

221
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 3: even though you're not at least bit emotional. You got

222
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 3: to learn how to do that so you can turn

223
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 3: on anytime you want, like the Oscar. You practice it,

224
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 3: you're joking, and then somebody brings that up and you

225
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 3: gotta shift gears. I've had that happen before. I think

226
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 3: that happens for real in real life. But when the

227
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 3: damn female at the oscars does the same thing, Oh yeah, well,

228
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 3: I think it's pretty obvious when they do it, and

229
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 3: it starts so quickly and ends so quickly.

230
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: That's the way. It's so funny. I just liked them.

231
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: Then you get through talking about whatever it was you're

232
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 2: going to talk about. Yeah, I've had that.

233
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: Very thing happen before, where somebody hits me with a

234
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 3: you know, it's out of time context thing. You got

235
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 3: to regear your because you don't want to come off

236
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 3: as like not honoring their situation, that them acknowledging your situation.

237
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 4: But I wasn't in that mode right now. I was

238
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 4: in that mode yesterday. But yeah, we were just laughing

239
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 4: our heads off. So yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh she's a

240
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 4: nice lady.

241
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 3: So I want to discuss this idea that Gavin Newsom's

242
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 3: got for young people doing some sort of service when

243
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 3: they get out of high school, and see what everybody

244
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: thinks of that.

245
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: The devil would be in the details, of course, like as.

246
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 3: A national program, sort of like Kennedy Peace Corps sort

247
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 3: of thing. I guess when he launched that, that's probably

248
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 3: the page he's trying to you know, he's trying to

249
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 3: strike that pose.

250
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 4: I was supposed to look like Kennedy check now, Kennedy advocate.

251
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 2: I'll advocate a Moon mission. Anyway, we got lots on

252
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: the way. Stay here, Carstraw and Getty. Who knows about this?

253
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: Next story I keep seeing up on the TV, and

254
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm missing out on this whole judge

255
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 3: woman zoom thing.

256
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: Who knows this? Anybody?

257
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 5: The woman was going to court on zoom and she

258
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 5: was in her car driving.

259
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: And the judge didn't like it. All right, let's hear this.

260
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: What are you doing?

261
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 6: I'm not driving. I'm a passenger in a car. You're

262
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 6: still not I'm not here in cases with people driving.

263
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 6: Where's passengers and cars?

264
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 3: Why not? Okay? I will pull over right.

Speaker 5: I didn't know that I wasn't allowed to be in

Speaker 5: a car.

273
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: But not one second?

274
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: Am I crazy?

275
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 6: Or does it not look like you're driving that car?

276
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: I'm not driving the car.

277
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,200

Speaker 3: On the left hand side.

280
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 6: How would you be on the left hand side if

281
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 6: you're a passenger in the front seat?

282
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: Am I missing something?

283
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 3: Left hand?

284
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: Right hand side. I'm sorry, I've been sitting in a room.

285
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 5: I didn't know.

286
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, the seatbelts coming out of the of the driver's side.

287
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 6: You know you're lying to me, right.

288
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 3: No, I'm not, sir.

00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 3: I have to ask them.

292
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: I have to ask their permission.

293
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 3: Now.

294
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 6: Oh my goodness, Well you're not in the drive.

295
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: You weren't in the driver's side.

296
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 6: Do you think I'm that stupid?

297
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: I'm entering a default judgment.

298
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 6: You lied to me Judgment nineteen twenty one eighty five,

299
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 6: send me your council and put in their defendant was

300
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 6: not available at the time, and then was driving a

301
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 6: car and telling the court she was not.

302
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: I'm entering a default judgment. Have a great day. Thank you. Busted.

303
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 5: So from watching that, it appeared that she didn't realize

304
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 5: she had her camera on until they started talking about

305
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 5: the details.

306
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 2: That's what I assumed she thought she was just on audio.

307
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 5: Which she kind of got that oh s face, Well, what.

308
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 3: Was what was her original charge? Third ass third degree

309
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 3: dumb assery? Exactly precisely.

310
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: I don't.

311
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 3: You know you're you're you're poking a guy who's got

312
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 3: a strong opinion about this because I got a ticket

313
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 3: one time for holding my phone in my hand while

314
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 3: I was talking, which there are no studies that show

315
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 3: are dangerous.

316
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: I mean, otherwise you.

317
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 3: Wouldn't be able to have a conversation with someone while

318
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 3: you hold a cup of coffee in your hand.

319
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense, right, And what.

320
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 3: Was I I was a therapist thing one time and

321
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 3: I was doing that and it was just the audio.

322
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 3: I didn't need the video said I'm not comfortable doing

323
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 3: this while you're driving.

324
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: Why not?

325
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 3: Why not?

326
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: People have conversations while they're driving all the time. We

327
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: even outlawed or not. But it just the whole thing

328
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 2: drives me nuts.

329
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 4: I just really enjoyed the guy's Detroit slash Chicago accent.

330
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 4: It reminded me of my childhood. The judge's accent played

331
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 4: the very beginning of it. Michael, what are you doing?

332
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 5: I'm driving?

333
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: What are you doing?

334
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 6: Come on, you're in.

335
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: A car, Go bears.

336
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 3: I don't understand why she couldn't do that zoom call.

337
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 3: But lying to the judge is a terrible idea.

338
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, stupid.

339
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 3: Sorry, we u the lane memory for you. I'm on

340
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 3: the left side of the car. That's the driver's side.

341
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, I'm right, Wait a minute, look at

342
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 4: your seatbelt.

343
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 3: And then she goes, I've been sitting in her room

344
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 3: all day. What Yeah, I know again the third degree

345
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 3: dumbastery I'm thinking. I'm thinking, whatever her crime was is

346
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 3: one of many dumb things she's done throughout her life. Okay,

347
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 3: we got more on the way. I hope you can

348
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 3: stay here if you miss a secondek at the podcast

349
00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty on demand.

350
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty. They want to make a deal.

351
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: The reason they want to make a deal is they

352
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: have been just beat dish.

353
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 3: That's Trump yesterday saying Iran has been beat to Kaka

354
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 3: that they want to make a deal. I don't know

355
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,719
Speaker 3: if they actually do want to make a deal or not.

356
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 3: That remains to be seen. There is some news around

357
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 3: that whole thing, because there was a big deadline looming

358
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 3: tomorrow morning.

359
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 2: Was is the key word.

360
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 3: We'll tell you about that in a second. But this

361
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 3: conversation happened yesterday. Did the CIA tell you that Ayatola

362
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 3: Junior's gay?

363
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: Well, they did say that, but I don't know if

364
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: it was only them. I think a lot of people

365
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: are saying that which puts them off to a bad

366
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: start in that particular country. You know, I sort of

367
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: have to smile to myself when I say, I see

368
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: people trying to defend the Palestine in regime for women,

369
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: women for Palestine, but they kill women. If you don't

370
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: wear a certain group of if you don't wear certain

371
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: cloths all over your face, you have no chance of living.

372
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: And you know when I look at gays for Palace,

373
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: but they kill gays, they kill him instantly, they throw

374
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: them up buildings.

375
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 3: And I'm saying, who are.

376
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: The gays for palaces?

377
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 2: It's a good question. Wow.

378
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 4: So he nobody has explained, or he hasn't retained the

379
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 4: whole intersectional neo Marxist thing to him, the prominent omni cause.

380
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 3: So the update is that so Trump originally gave around

381
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 3: forty eight hours or we're going to obliterate your energy

382
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: infrastructure Monday at six forty five pm, and that was

383
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 3: several days ago. Then he said five days, which the

384
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 3: deadline was going to be tomorrow morning. And now he

385
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 3: put out a statement last night as per the Iranian

386
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 3: government request, Please let the statement serve to represent that

387
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 3: I am pausing the period of energy plant destruction.

388
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 2: It's a heck of a phrase.

389
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 3: Energy plant destruction by ten days to Monday, April sixth,

390
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 3: twenty six at eight pm Eastern time. Talks are ongoing,

391
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 3: and despite erroneous statements to the contrary by the fake

392
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 3: news media and others, they are going very well. Thank

393
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 3: you for your attention to this matter. So he has

394
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 3: put a very firm deadline on that. Ian Bremer says

395
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 3: the date coincides with all troops that are expected to

396
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 3: be in the Persian Gulf.

397
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 4: By that time, right, not a quick science. Yeah, yeah,

398
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 4: we don't need to overanalyze this. But the whole wiping

399
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 4: out the energy infrastructure thing, I know, is a super

400
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 4: controversial deal among our allies in a way that like

401
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 4: wiping out two thousand more military targets is not everybody's

402
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 4: in favor of that, or even taking carg Island or

403
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 4: what have you. But we'll have to see. There's some

404
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 4: hardcore bargaining going on. But I don't see the deaf

405
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 4: cultists coming around. They might pretend to, but I think

406
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 4: Trump's hip to that at this point.

407
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 3: Well, in the ones, they're so incredibly in the one

408
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 3: seed against the one hundred and fiftieth seed USA versus Iran.

409
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 3: I like USA's chances on my bracket, and I picked

410
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 3: the Americans in that one, which is my transition to

411
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 3: talking about gambling and March Madness. So a lot of

412
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 3: news outlets have been talking about our gambling situation in

413
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 3: America now because March Madness is the biggest point of

414
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 3: every year, along with the Super Bowl, when people gamble

415
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 3: a lot of money. So they put out a lot

416
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 3: of scary numbers about how many billions of dollars we

417
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 3: spend on gambling in this country. Now, part of that's

418
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 3: a little misleading because it all used to be under

419
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 3: the table in illegal. See, you didn't know the number.

420
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 3: Now you know the number because it's legal. That doesn't

421
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 3: necessarily mean there's more gambling going on. It's just more

422
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 3: easily counted. But anyway, somebody made the point the other day,

423
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 3: and I thought it was really good. They were hitting

424
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 3: the number, and I think it was one hundred and

425
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 3: seventy billion, but whatever, it was one hundred and seventy

426
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 3: billion dollars Americans spent.

427
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 2: On gambling this year, and oh my god, Oh my god,

428
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: oh my god.

429
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 3: And then somebody pointed out that's roughly the amount we

430
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 3: spend on our pets every year, and nobody seems to

431
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 3: think that's a a crisis. I mean, the crisis with

432
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 3: gambling is lots of people spending money they don't have,

433
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 3: and what's that going to do and becoming equality and.

434
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.

435
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 3: Well, if we're spending the same amount of money on pets,

436
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 3: there's plenty of people spending money on their pets.

437
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: They probably don't have either, So what's the difference. Really.

438
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, as a guy who hangs around a lot of

439
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 4: guys who were into sports, I think there's a lot

440
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 4: more gambling than there used to be. I think it's

441
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 4: grown a great deal. But again, it was tough to

442
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 4: get those numbers in the past. But in the past

443
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 4: you had to know a bookie and have access to him.

444
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 4: Now you just need a cell phone.

445
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 3: But the point of if we're spending that much money

446
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 3: on pets or you know, you could come up with

447
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of other examples. George Will was always

448
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 3: big on this throughout my whole life of reading George Will.

449
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 3: Whenever we talk about money in politics, they'd say, Americans

450
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 3: spent this many billion dollars on you know, trying to

451
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 3: convince politicians do or anything. And he'd say, Americans spent

452
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 3: twice that much money on video games last year, and

453
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,719
Speaker 3: we don't seem to think that's an overwhelming problem, you know,

454
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 3: which is a pretty good angle. I think, well, in

455
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 3: a nation of three hundred and forty million people, you

456
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 3: can assemble an enormous number, you know, and then that's

457
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 3: the amount of Americans spend on shoelaces. Right, So, but

458
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 3: if you hit me with a big number, that doesn't

459
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 3: necessarily mean that's a crisis, I guess, is the point.

460
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 4: Right, And another point that you've been hammering on through

461
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 4: the years is that you know, all these discussions about

462
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 4: affordability and inflation is a byach in the last couple

463
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 4: of years.

464
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 2: It's miserable.

465
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 4: On one of my miny gie hods is to help

466
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 4: people understand what inflation is, where it comes from, and

467
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 4: how evil it is. But at the same time, you

468
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 4: frequently mentioned people buying a nine dollars milkshake at Starbucks

469
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 4: every single day, you know, that sort of thing, and

470
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 4: you know it teach their own.

471
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 3: But solut teach your own as long as you don't

472
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 3: get to age sixty five or whatever, and ask for

473
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 3: some of my tax money. Right, you can't have both

474
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 3: if you don't if you don't get to Klaibod.

475
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 2: I deserve a dignified retirement. And I got no money left.

476
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 3: And you were gambling and taking your pet to what

477
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 3: was you ever going to tell us about doggy spas

478
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 3: or whatever?

479
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 4: Sure manicures, haircuts and doggy daycare. Yeah, yeah, consumers have

480
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 4: plenty of cash to pay for all kinds of services,

481
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 4: but rising prices are feeding into sticky inflation. And the

482
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 4: article is actually about inflation. But they mentioned that Camp

483
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 4: bow Wow in downtown Nashville had dog daycare.

484
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: Good name for a dog daycare, Camp bow Wow, I

485
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 2: like that pretty strong. Yeah.

486
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 4: In January raised its daily rate to thirty six dollars

487
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 4: from thirty three dollars, which is a nine percent increase

488
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 4: instead of losing customers, though the Nashville location of Camp

489
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 4: bow Wow recently broke its daily record by hosting two

490
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 4: hundred and six dogs. Owners said, I don't think anybody

491
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 4: even complained.

492
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 3: So you send your dog, like if you got a

493
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 3: dog that doesn't listen or is disobedient, or it's on

494
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 3: the wrong path or hanging out the wrong kind of dog,

495
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 3: you send it to Camp bow Wow and they do.

496
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 3: The scared straight thing, is that what's going on in

497
00:24:59,359 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 3: Camp bow Wow?

498
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 4: Like a military working out and marches through the woods,

499
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 4: that sort of thing. No, it's doggy daycare, which is funny.

500
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: The pet craze, the dog craze, especially in America, where

501
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 4: everybody's got a dog and they bring it everywhere with them,

502
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 4: and when they go to work, they spend thirty six

503
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 4: dollars a day, which if you're working a five day week,

504
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 4: is obviously one hundred and seventy five dollars or so

505
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 4: a week, so your dog doesn't just lay around and

506
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 4: sleep in your living room.

507
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 3: It's interesting if you look at the historic changes in

508
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 3: go ahead, knock yourself out. Do not care at all,

509
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 3: unless you're on some sort of government program for food

510
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 3: for your kid.

511
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: Because you say he got enough money for this or that.

512
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 2: Can't have both.

513
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 4: Robust spending is driving up prices of services from healthcare

514
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 4: to haircuts.

515
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 2: Dynamics use me.

516
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 4: This now taking center stage in the federal reserves fight

517
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 4: against inflation.

518
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 3: Half the country does pay federal income taxes, so there

519
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 3: should be mean. Yeah, if you go to the doggy digcare,

520
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 3: you got it did. Do you pay any taxes?

521
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 2: You do? Okay, well, then you can spend some of

522
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 2: your hard and money on the doggy dick care if

523
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 2: you want.

524
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 3: If you don't, sorry, you got you can't do that.

525
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 3: I'm not allowing you because I pay taxes. And this

526
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 3: is such a great description of how inflation works. At

527
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 3: the downtown Camp Bow Wow and Nashville, higher prices went

528
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 3: straight into pay raises for the facilities, two dozen employees

529
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 3: who couldn't.

530
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 4: Afford the things that they need. We can't afford to

531
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 4: lose our staff. High cost of groceries, gas, and rent

532
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 4: in the Nashville area meant many employees struggle to make

533
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 4: it so et cetera, et cetera. Workers overseeing hordes of

534
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 4: dogs now makeups seventeen makes seventeen dollars per hour.

535
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 2: Up from fifteen, et cetera.

536
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 4: And the prices just keeps spiraling upward because the Biden

537
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 4: administration pumps so much money into the economy.

538
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 3: Anyway, that's enough of that, Yeah, and we're gonna get

539
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 3: hit with a big inflation number, I think here soon.

540
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 4: Speaking of finances and tax I found this interesting.

541
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 2: You know, great piece.

542
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 4: The Democrats are on a taxing binge, and it gives

543
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 4: a bunch of examples of a big tax increases all

544
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 4: over the country, from California to Washington State to well,

545
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 4: it's all the blue states New York. Even though where

546
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 4: is that figure.

547
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 3: Tax revenue across the fifty United States between twenty nineteen

548
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 3: and twenty twenty five increased forty three percent. Now, of

549
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 3: course Jack is the patron saint of adjusting for inflation.

550
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 2: We will do that.

551
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 4: Tax revenue increased more than twice as much as inflation

552
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 4: during those six years. But Democrats and their public union

553
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 4: allies want more, much more, wow, twice inflation. Yeah, a

554
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 4: lot of the tax increases are being driven by the

555
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 4: public employee unions. Here's another article from the Wall Street Journal.

556
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 4: Red and blue states are growing further apart on income tax,

557
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 4: and they have the fifty United States laid out and

558
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,959
Speaker 4: the trend line in income tax and all the red states.

559
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 4: There are a few red states that are holding steady,

560
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 4: but virtually all the red states are trending down in

561
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 4: income tax, and virtually all of the blue states excuse me,

562
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 4: are trending up. Blue states are getting blue or red

563
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 4: states are getting redder in terms of tax policy not surprising.

564
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 4: And finally this Gavin K.

565
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 2: Newsome the other day was claiming that Texas and Florida.

566
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 3: Are the real high tax states, picked apart by experts.

567
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 2: His claim totally flawed.

568
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 4: When you look at California as a whole, it is

569
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 4: one of the highest tax states in the nation, says

570
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 4: the expert. Let's see news posted on ex Texas.

571
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 2: Texas and California are the real high tax states.

572
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 4: He was explaining on stage at south By Southwest. Shut up,

573
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 4: I want to see a band that California has the

574
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 4: most progressive tax rates in America. Class pays more in

575
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 4: Texas than our middle class in California.

576
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 2: Knew. Some said in Texas it's a great mythology.

577
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 4: It's just the richest of the rich coming here because

578
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 4: they can avoid paying a damned penny doll jeez, which

579
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 4: got pushed back from just Facts. President James aggress to you,

580
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 4: who said he looked into a number of different angles

581
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 4: to determine the validity to the claim. I looked at

582
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 4: how much each tax each state is taxing each of

583
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 4: its citizens on average. So if you look at California,

584
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 4: it's about ten thousand dollars a year in taxes for

585
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 4: everyone in the state, whereas the figures for Texas and

586
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 4: Florida are only about five thousand dollars, or about half

587
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 4: as much if you look at all forms of taxation. However,

588
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 4: California is a higher income state, so I also looked

589
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 4: at it as a percentage of the state's economies, and

590
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 4: what I found is that California taxes about fourteen percent

591
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 4: of its economy, as opposed to nine percent for Texas

592
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 4: and Florida. So this is one of the most thorough

593
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 4: breakdowns I've ever seen, so strangely surprisingly, Gabby Light again.

594
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 2: Combining both stories.

595
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 3: Before we go to break pet owners might be able

596
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 3: to snager one thousand dollar dollar dog credit this tax

597
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 3: season to help pay for food and other necessities, some

598
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 3: sort of tax So we're doing like we used to

599
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 3: do for kids. But people stopped having kids, so you

600
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 3: don't give a tax credit for kids anymore, and now

601
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 3: you different dogs.

602
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 4: So we're going to buy their votes by giving them

603
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 4: a tax credit because they have a dog.

604
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 2: Democracy worked for a while.

605
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 3: See, the theory is children benefit society, so you'd want

606
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 3: to encourage that sort of thing, not discourage it. How

607
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,239
Speaker 3: did if people owning dogs benefit society. I'm pretty sure

608
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 3: doesn't want to.

609
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 4: And you want to help families in generals stay together

610
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 4: and prosper, but yeah, I don't.

611
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: That's just buying votes anyway. Uh.

612
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 3: That idea of everybody having to do some sort of

613
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 3: service when they get out of high school, that was

614
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 3: a Gavin Knewso idea. He's going to run for president

615
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 3: on among other things. I do want to bring that

616
00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 3: up at some point, stick around, I like funk, I

617
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 3: just can't listen to it for too long. Southwest Airlines

618
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 3: is implementing their new fat tax. Oh that's what the

619
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 3: larger community is calling it. The actual name of Southwest

620
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:21,719
Speaker 3: Airlines policy is their customer of size policy, Customer of size.

621
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 3: So what they're doing now is you get to the

622
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 3: airport and somebody like sees you coming and thinks, oh boy,

623
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 3: she is uh when she sits around the house, she

624
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 3: sits around the house.

625
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 2: Oh hey, No, I'm not.

626
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 4: No schoolyard taunts will not be a part of this discussion,

627
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 4: or I'm leaving.

628
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 3: This is what the critics are saying, and you agree

629
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 3: with the critics, and they're being profiled for That's exactly

630
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,719
Speaker 3: what is happening. What I just described they're seeing somebody

631
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 3: coming that they think is really really big, and they think, okay,

632
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 3: we got to.

633
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 2: Pull this person aside and measure them. And it's being

634
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 2: called prof filing by people who don't like it.

635
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 3: This article in sf Gate, Carry McCall was flying, and

636
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 3: I'm sure Carry mccau's thinking, oh, hey, thanks for making

637
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 3: my name the first words in the article about someone

638
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 3: too big to sit in one seat. Thanks appreciate it,

639
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 3: and you kind of come off in the articles being

640
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 3: on my side of this, but thanks for calling me

641
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 3: out to everyone.

642
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 4: Well, part of the part of it is that all

643
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 4: these people are posting it online saying, look what happened

644
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 4: to me?

645
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 2: This is insane.

646
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 3: So Carry McCaw is flying with co workers to Vegas

647
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 3: when Southwest Airlines employees stopped her at the ticket counter.

648
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 3: The agent's message was clear, either by a second seat

649
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 3: for yourself or don't fly. She was in violation of

650
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 3: Southwest's popular it says here customer of size policy, and

651
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 3: flyers have taken to social media to share the frustrations.

652
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 3: Flyers report that customer service agents have singled them out

653
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 3: for their appearance well yeah, well in a way and

654
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 3: force them to buy another seat to be accommodated.

655
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 2: Well, it's because you take up two seats. Some people

656
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 2: take up two seats are more than one anyway.

657
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, although somebody's taking up three seats, Well, I'm just

658
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 4: saying they don't entirely take up two seats per se.

659
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 3: Oh, it's like one seat plus four inches on either side.

660
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 3: You're suggesting an entire row.

661
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 4: Now if they do that to me though, and they

662
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 4: probably won't, I'm not that heavy, but you're not even close.

663
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 4: I demand like a super luxurious wide double seat. You know,

664
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 4: you gotta wheel in the super like the throne for

665
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 4: me with the arm rests way far apart.

666
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 2: You're gonna make me pay for two seats. I'm not

667
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 2: sitting in the hump in the middle. I want a big,

668
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: wide seat.

669
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 3: Miss McCall woman said she felt profiled at the gate

670
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 3: because of her size.

671
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 2: Yes, of course you were. That's exactly what they're doing.

672
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 2: God the modern world where it's profiling and everybody says, oh,

673
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 2: I've been.

674
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 3: Taught that's a bad word, so it must be bad

675
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 3: because he used the word that is bad, So you

676
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 3: want to come to so in her world, this would

677
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 3: be like the stupid thing we do around terrorism, where

678
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 3: you inferior. You're supposed to treat the ninety five year

679
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 3: old white is a sheet of paper Grandma, the same

680
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 3: way as a twenty year old guy that looks like

681
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 3: it's from the Middle East, angry looking Muslim with a

682
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 3: big beard, angrily muttering verses from the Koran.

683
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 2: Yes, you treat those two people exactly the same.

684
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 3: So she thinks they're supposed to measure everyone the uh

685
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 3: you know, the the high school girl whose hips are

686
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 3: like nine inches wide. You have to measure her same

687
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 3: number of times you measure the other people. Otherwise you're profiling.

688
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 3: It's literally your profile. So yes, it's it's profile. I

689
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 3: was embarrassed. I was upset you just made this arbitrary

690
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 3: look at my body will in arbitrary. I did it

691
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 3: specifically to see if you're the size to sit in

692
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 3: the seat, not arbitrary. Now, I don't uh in anyway.

693
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 3: She makes the argument that she fits in the seat

694
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 3: and blah blah blah, And I assume they got to

695
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 3: work that out where they measure you and determine whether

696
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 3: or not you can fit in the seat or not.

697
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 4: One of the videos included a big dude saying, uh,

698
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 4: I fly weekly and I fit into my seat just fine.

699
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 2: And I'm like, no, you don't.

700
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. See see the thing they're looking at the backwards Uh,

701
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 3: completely backwards. It's not the they should have to pay

702
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 3: for two seats as much as is I paid full

703
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 3: price for the seat, and I am incredibly uncomfortable because

704
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 3: this person is taking up half of my seat.

705
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 2: That's the thing there, It is, right.

706
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, And look, I'm not in a mock Atny buddy

707
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 4: or be mean to anybody or anything, but you're paying

708
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 4: per seat and you're taking my seat.

709
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems pretty obvious to me. Yeah.

710
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 4: Any nice if they can come up with a non

711
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 4: hurtful way to do that, right public waying maybe so

712
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 4: there's no arguments.

713
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 2: Probably not. No, that's I retract that idea. Armstrong and
