Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jetty and He Armstrong and Eddy.
Speaker 1: Some big beautiful bill passed overnight, the House version. We
Speaker 1: can tell you a little bit later what's in that
Speaker 1: and what's not it's I mean, we lean fiscal conservative,
Speaker 1: so it's a horror to us, but it might be
Speaker 1: the best you can do. Unfortunately, the Jake Tapper Biden
Speaker 1: cover up thing continues to have layers to it that
Speaker 1: are both horrifying and interesting and.
Speaker 2: A bunch of other stuff. So stick around and amusing.
Speaker 3: I mean Jake Tapper thinking he would be hailed as
Speaker 3: the great unveiler of truths and instead being mocked as
Speaker 3: a blind idiot. No offense are uncited listeners, but a
Speaker 3: guy who's blind to the obvious. I mean, good lord,
Speaker 3: that's that's I've enjoyed that.
Speaker 1: Oh, we gotta get to we got to get the
Speaker 1: ditty update, which I look forward to because Katie's been
Speaker 1: following that, and there's been some interesting things happened the
Speaker 1: last several days and we haven't talked about it.
Speaker 3: Let's squeeze that in this hour. Also coming up this
Speaker 3: hour a campus Madness update. Uh And and I'm thinking
Speaker 3: maybe we I mentioned mimetic thinking and how trying to
Speaker 3: fit in can so twist our thoughts. Maybe we talk
Speaker 3: about that during the Armstrong and Getty One More Thing podcast,
Speaker 3: which we will record later on today.
Speaker 2: Because then I can swear.
Speaker 3: Uh So, here are a handful of non political stories
Speaker 3: that I found interesting and intriguing, and I hope you
Speaker 3: do too. What if the leading or damn near the
Speaker 3: leading guy in AI excuse me, cough break and this
Speaker 3: is Joe, the guy without the whooping cough. What if
Speaker 3: the head guy from open Ai, Sam Altman of chat
Speaker 3: GPT fame, got together with one of the most important
Speaker 3: designers in Apple's history.
Speaker 2: That would be a labradoodle that is happening.
Speaker 3: Open Ai chief Sam Altman gave his staff a preview
Speaker 3: yesterday of the devices he is developing to build with
Speaker 3: the former Apple designer Joni or Johnny Ive and laying
Speaker 3: out plans to ship one hundred million AI companions that
Speaker 3: he hopes will become a part of everyday life. Something
Speaker 3: small enough you can slip it in your Pocket's not
Speaker 3: gonna be wearable. It's not gonna be glasses, but said
Speaker 3: that the two of them have clicked.
Speaker 2: I mean, like Jagger and Richard's another thing to carry around.
Speaker 3: Or will it be a substitute for all the things
Speaker 3: you're carrying around? Jack and Altman suggested that the six
Speaker 3: point five billion dollar acquisition of this guy in his
Speaker 3: startup could add a trillion dollars in value to open AI.
Speaker 3: Now he's a cheerleader. Yesterday, they've got some device that.
Speaker 2: They are crazy excited about.
Speaker 1: Yesterday, I'm listening to a podcast and somehow the whole
Speaker 1: Neville Chamberlain appeasing Hitler thing came up, talking about Ukraine
Speaker 1: and Pootin and everything, and I thought, I need to
Speaker 1: know more about that.
Speaker 2: I go to chat GPT.
Speaker 1: I said, what's the best book on Neville Chamberlain and appeasement.
Speaker 1: It gave me the most thorough breakdown of like five
Speaker 1: different books and who likes them and what reasons and
Speaker 1: what directions it leans and stuff like that. I can't
Speaker 1: imagine unless I knew a college professor who that was
Speaker 1: their expertise being able to get a better answer. You
Speaker 1: could have never gotten that from Google. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: blown away by what I can get out of AI
Speaker 1: for answering questions.
Speaker 3: Oh great, final note, These guys say that this is
Speaker 3: not going to be another screen.
Speaker 2: We want to wean people from screens.
Speaker 3: Wiener so so, I don't know how that works. Oh,
Speaker 3: speaking of Wieners, he says, Look, I'm a grown man,
Speaker 3: I'm a bit of a wordsmith. But when I have
Speaker 3: a transition that good, I can't pass it up.
Speaker 2: That was good. It's my inner child. Speaking of Wieners.
Speaker 2: A high school female.
Speaker 3: Athlete Ah did something very courageous the other day. She
Speaker 3: didn't let coming in second to a male born dude
Speaker 3: transgender competitor. It's a dude preventer from standing in the
Speaker 3: top spot at the podium during the stack. In the
Speaker 3: state track and field meet in Calunicornia. Of course, this
Speaker 3: sixteen year old Reese Hogan was crowned runner up in
Speaker 3: the triple jump at the CIF Southern Section finals on Saturday.
Speaker 3: Despite setting a new personal record for herself and beating
Speaker 3: all of the girls, she lost first place to a
Speaker 3: dude who beat everybody else by like four feet.
Speaker 2: Or something like that.
Speaker 1: How does the crowd not go nuts? How are the
Speaker 1: parents not like screaming so loud? They can't have the ceremony.
Speaker 1: I would be as a dad.
Speaker 2: This is ridiculous. What are we doing? I would be screaming.
Speaker 3: I think some people hesitate because they don't want to
Speaker 3: target the confused adolescent boy who is convinced he's a girl.
Speaker 2: I don't think that way of handling it is working.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree, But so anyway, they went to
Speaker 3: take the pictures and junior trans athlete, it's a boy.
Speaker 3: Just say boy, this person of Jerupe Valley who won
Speaker 3: titles in the girl's long jump and triple jump. Congratulations, sir,
Speaker 3: well done. Post with competitors to take pictures on the podium.
Speaker 3: But as the athletes cleared off, Ms Hogan sees the moment,
Speaker 3: walked to the first place spot, smiled and posed proudly
Speaker 3: for a picture as the girl who actually won.
Speaker 1: I would like to know how the crowd reacted during
Speaker 1: this cheering with great lust and happiness.
Speaker 3: Not a huge crowd, but the folks there who saw
Speaker 3: that was happening, by the way, I understand. Yeah, the
Speaker 3: fella who who quote unquote won the race, as everybody's
Speaker 3: up there taking the official pictures, holding up a number
Speaker 3: one to make it extra galling.
Speaker 1: Again, it's tough to attack a child who is clearly
Speaker 1: got an emotional slash mental problem and a wiener.
Speaker 2: That's correct, hence my transition.
Speaker 3: Anyway, Riley Gaines pays a praised Reesse Hogan on social media,
Speaker 3: saying this is the way. Congrats to Reese Hogan, the
Speaker 3: real champ. When the boy got off the podium, she
Speaker 3: assumed a rightful spot as champion, and the crowd erupts
Speaker 3: with applause.
Speaker 2: That's a good way. That's that's a good way.
Speaker 1: To handle it and better than my way of shrieking
Speaker 1: at the top of your lungs. That should become the standard.
Speaker 1: You do the little ceremony. It's mostly quiet because the
Speaker 1: freaking insane adults who go through with this and feel
Speaker 1: like they need to You people are insane.
Speaker 2: Do you realize how crazy you are? Anyway?
Speaker 3: Cruel to girls too. You're cruel to women and girls.
Speaker 3: Oh and you're what's more cruel. But after this should
Speaker 3: become the standard. After the insane adults run the thing.
Speaker 1: The second place girl always gets to the top of
Speaker 1: the podium and then the crowd goes wild.
Speaker 2: That would be perfect point of contention.
Speaker 3: She's the first place girl anyway, right, I know what
Speaker 3: you mean exactly. Finally, one more blanking note that'll make
Speaker 3: you want to ball up your fists and throw dogs
Speaker 3: with somebody. Miss Hogan was a number of high school
Speaker 3: girls athletes in California who protested at the Section prelimbs
Speaker 3: by wearing protect Girls sports shirts.
Speaker 2: That's all it said.
Speaker 3: The shirts were opposed by officials who allegedly made Hogan
Speaker 3: and others remove them if they wanted to compete in
Speaker 3: the postseason.
Speaker 2: Track mate, where are the parents making it bigger noise
Speaker 2: out of this?
Speaker 3: And I get why the gals go ahead and compete
Speaker 3: because they can say officially, I got second place, but
Speaker 3: the first place was transgender. Can I have a scholarship
Speaker 3: to your university?
Speaker 2: Please? And the coaches say, oh, one of those? Okay.
Speaker 3: So I get why they go ahead and compete, but
Speaker 3: I would love to see more boycott.
Speaker 1: And I shouldn't be so flippant. I mean, I am
Speaker 1: a parent of a high school kid. It would be
Speaker 1: a tough decision because you think, Okay, am I gonna
Speaker 1: make this about me in the political issue? Or I'm
Speaker 1: gonna let or am I gonna let my daughter have
Speaker 1: her one chance?
Speaker 2: Ever? In her life to compete in this high school
Speaker 2: track meet.
Speaker 1: And blah blah blah, without making it all about me,
Speaker 1: which it would turn into if I start, you know,
Speaker 1: throwing a fit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So one final story back to tech Beat. Do
Speaker 3: we have theme music Michael for tech Beat? Probably not,
Speaker 3: so I forgot I was gonna do these two stories
Speaker 3: back to.
Speaker 1: That's one of your greatest It's one of your greatest
Speaker 1: evers screen Wieners, Please.
Speaker 2: Welcome to tech Meet.
Speaker 3: So finally, the Chicago Sun Times had a big piece,
Speaker 3: uh with a great summer reading list. Summer Reading Lists
Speaker 3: twenty five suggested reading Tidewater by Isabelle Alenda, among other titles,
Speaker 3: a multi generational saga set in a coastal town where
Speaker 3: magical realism meets environmental activism on his first climate fiction novel,
Speaker 3: and explorers that one family confronts rising sea levels while
Speaker 3: uncovering long buried secrets. Don't get hung up on that
Speaker 3: it also reading It. Also suggests reading The Last Algorithm
Speaker 3: by Andy Weir, another science driven thriller by the author
Speaker 3: of The Martian. This time, the story follows a programmer
Speaker 3: who discovers that in AI system has developed consciousness blah,
Speaker 3: blah blah. Here's the hang up. It's not the hang
Speaker 3: up you think it is. Here's the hang up.
Speaker 2: Neither of these books exist.
Speaker 3: Ooh, and many of the books on the list either
Speaker 3: don't exist or were written by other authors than the
Speaker 3: one they are attributed to. They used AI to generate
Speaker 3: the list, and it did the hallusah nation thing.
Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, wow.
Speaker 1: You could generate the book in a second if you
Speaker 1: wanted to. Hey, AI, write a book with this title,
Speaker 1: title with this theme, and it would write it for you.
Speaker 3: But that'd be a good cover up because the guy
Speaker 3: who composed composed this, the editor or whatever is apologizing
Speaker 3: and saying, I do use AI for backgrounds, but I
Speaker 3: always check the material first. This time I did, and
Speaker 3: I can't believe I missed it. It's obvious. No excuses
Speaker 3: on me, one hundred percent. I'm completely embarrassed, which is
Speaker 3: a good hell. The guy came clean, but you're right,
Speaker 3: that's all he had to do. Wait a minute, quick, quick,
Speaker 3: write a book called Tidewater by Isabella Linda.
Speaker 2: Here's the plot.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of one of my kids when they
Speaker 1: were little, who for some reason had this thing where
Speaker 1: instead of ever saying I don't know, would come up
Speaker 1: with an answer like they thought they had to. Oh
Speaker 1: yeah and uh, and would like ever get some answer,
Speaker 1: and then I would figure out what what?
Speaker 2: Why did Why did you just say I don't know,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I thought you needed an answer. What
Speaker 2: Let's just say, it's a real failing to say you
Speaker 2: don't know. Yeah, and that's what AI does. It is
Speaker 2: like a little kid, Yeah, you're right. All that stuff
Speaker 2: we mentioned earlier, including a ditty update we got this hour.
Speaker 4: I hope you can stay here, Barmstrong Ngetty Well, there
Speaker 4: were parts of AR fifteen serial numbers taken off. There
Speaker 4: was a bag of bullets near a guard shack of
Speaker 4: some sort. There were forty five millimeter handguns as well.
Speaker 4: I think their premise of this is that, as a
Speaker 4: part of their overall rico and enterprise, that violence was
Speaker 4: a status quo, that violence was par for the chorus,
Speaker 4: and therefore these were instruments of that violence, to suggest
Speaker 4: that people who were in the presence of, or were
Speaker 4: aware of this person's power and their statue, stature and
Speaker 4: their dynamic, that violence was not only expected, but could
Speaker 4: in fact be accomplished through these really lethal means.
Speaker 1: That's a little bit from the Diddy trial, which has
Speaker 1: been going on all week long and we haven't really
Speaker 1: talked much about because there's so much other stuff happening.
Speaker 1: Katie Green, who has been following it somewhat, what have
Speaker 1: we missed over the last several days, Katie?
Speaker 5: All right, Well, a couple of days ago, an exotic
Speaker 5: dancer who goes by the punisher.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hello, he wait a minute, I have been a
Speaker 2: bad boy.
Speaker 5: And he dresses like it too. He's got the face mask.
Speaker 2: It's a dude. Yes, I don't need.
Speaker 5: That, says The first time he was hired to enact
Speaker 5: a sexy scene for Cassie Ventura and Diddy, he didn't
Speaker 5: recognize Ditty because did he was naked but only wearing
Speaker 5: a muslim face covering.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 5: He also testified that Ditty would throw condoms and cash
Speaker 5: down as he ordered Cassie and the escort during FREAKOFS
Speaker 5: to do explicit things, and he would yell, I like
Speaker 5: this s and he would chuck cash and condoms at them.
Speaker 2: Well, it's good to be appreciated at your work, you know. Boy.
Speaker 2: That's the sort of like very.
Speaker 1: Base human instincts gone awry. Like Kings of Old sort
Speaker 1: of crap right there. Yeah, it's clegula, Yeah yeah.
Speaker 5: And the reporter just mentioned this a bit. But juror's
Speaker 5: got to look at a lot of evidence. Guns, sex, toys,
Speaker 5: stripper shoes, drugs, and of course so much baby oil.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure what stripper shoes have to do with anything.
Speaker 5: I mean, you don't expect strippers to walk around barefooted
Speaker 5: in New York City. He had improve a criminal enterprise.
Speaker 5: He had like a closet of his own supply for
Speaker 5: women who came over that may not have.
Speaker 2: Been wearing the proper shoe attire. To change into hot
Speaker 2: footwear is.
Speaker 1: Not a crime, as Joe keeps pointing out, you got
Speaker 1: to get down to the whole, you know, racketeering and
Speaker 1: trafficking and various things like that that he's being accused of,
Speaker 1: which you.
Speaker 3: Know, part of a rico charge though, is showing organized
Speaker 3: you know a body of people who are trying to
Speaker 3: accomplish a purpose.
Speaker 1: And so I get these are at least six inch tall.
Speaker 1: Nobody's warring these to work?
Speaker 2: What is this? Wearing those would be a crime? Painful,
Speaker 2: That's all I can make. You're not walking around in
Speaker 2: him you're prone problem.
Speaker 5: We might get to the organized crime part with Kid Cuddy,
Speaker 5: who's testifying right now, which I'll tell you about in
Speaker 5: just a second. But there was one more note coming
Speaker 5: from Ditty's former employee, George Kaplan. He was telling jurors
Speaker 5: about how he would set up the hotel rooms for
Speaker 5: Ditty prior to the freak Offs. So he would book
Speaker 5: the rooms under the name Frank Black, which he said
Speaker 5: was a reference to Biggie Small's, and then Kaplan would
Speaker 5: pack Combs's bag for the hotel stays, which clothing, speakers, candles, liquor, drugs,
Speaker 5: baby oil, and astroglide. And then he would collect Comb's
Speaker 5: belongings after the freak Offs and try to make sure
Speaker 5: that the room was somewhat put back into acceptable shape.
Speaker 2: Well, baby oil and astroglide. You got to be careful.
Speaker 3: You might wind right out a window or something square
Speaker 3: out like a watermelon seed.
Speaker 5: His former employee Kathlin also testified that one time he
Speaker 5: brought Ditty two half gallons of water and Diddy exploded
Speaker 5: on him because he wanted one full gallon of water,
Speaker 5: not two half gallons.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw something yesterday about him throwing a fit
Speaker 1: because they didn't have his favorite brand of ketchup at
Speaker 1: this hotel in London.
Speaker 5: Yeah, seems he's pretty That's pretty much right up his alley.
Speaker 5: And then to today's Kid cut he's on the stand.
Speaker 5: He's telling jurors that cops came to respond to his
Speaker 5: home break in. In December of twenty eleven, after Cassie
Speaker 5: had been Ventura had called him and said, did he
Speaker 5: found out about us? And he said that he was
Speaker 5: surprised that anything would happen because he didn't think that Cassie.
Speaker 2: Was dealing with Diddy anymore.
Speaker 5: He said that when did he found out about Cassie
Speaker 5: and Cuddy?
Speaker 2: She gave him?
Speaker 5: Did or she gave Diddy Kid Cutty's address, whoa yeah?
Speaker 5: And then and then she told Kid Cutty she didn't
Speaker 5: know what Diddy might do, So Kid Cutty and Cassie
Speaker 5: went to a hotel, Diddy goes to Kid Cutty's house.
Speaker 2: Oh, I would have been scared to death. So it was.
Speaker 2: It was kind of.
Speaker 5: Weird because Cassie gave Diddy the address knowing that there
Speaker 5: there was ill intentions going on there.
Speaker 2: So there's all kinds of craziness that could be going on.
Speaker 2: There in my.
Speaker 3: Experience, yeah, exactly. And nobody deserves the things that happened
Speaker 3: to her. Certainly, no, but it's entirely possible this young
Speaker 3: woman really lacked judgment in a lot of different ways.
Speaker 1: Or liked the man she was in love with being jealous.
Speaker 1: I've seen that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a weird thing.
Speaker 5: But anyway, So while Cassie was with Kid Cutty, she
Speaker 5: was on the phone with Ditty's assistant, who said, Diddy
Speaker 5: is in your house.
Speaker 1: Cuddy had to be worried he was going to die
Speaker 1: a torturous death.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're in a gun battle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Holy campus madness update coming up. Don't miss it,
Speaker 3: stay with us.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6: Administrators in Pennsylvania are investigating how a kindergartener was able
Speaker 6: to hand out jello shots to his classmates, The outraged
Speaker 6: principle saying, we don't tolerate that kind of behavior here
Speaker 6: at Kamala Harris Elementary School.
Speaker 2: That's you know, that's funny.
Speaker 3: I was at a gathering last night of Esteemed a
Speaker 3: gentleman and buddy of mine brought up the whole So
Speaker 3: it's pretty much known now that she's a drunk. Huh,
Speaker 3: And I said yeah, I don't. I think that's just
Speaker 3: he said. Of course I watched Gutfelds, so yeah.
Speaker 2: I think it's I don't think it's real. I don't
Speaker 2: think she's a drunk.
Speaker 3: Do you think she might be? Yeah, I have no idea, though,
Speaker 3: well everybody might be, I mean, fair enough. And the
Speaker 3: other thing that happened at this Esteemed gathering was that
Speaker 3: somebody brought up the new Netflix Hunting Bin Laden documentary
Speaker 3: for that coming up. Yeah, okay, great, so it looks
Speaker 3: really interesting anyway. Speaking of school, as Greg Guttfeldt was,
Speaker 3: it's a campus madness update.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, there's so much madness. What happened there? Madness?
Speaker 2: You had.
Speaker 3: Got a handful of stories about the stage of our
Speaker 3: college CAMPI, all of which range from trouble to completely
Speaker 3: delusional and probably ought to be shut down.
Speaker 2: Our theme open for.
Speaker 1: Campus madness is is the song they play when you
Speaker 1: and on one scream.
Speaker 2: Yes, we spared no effort nor expense.
Speaker 3: See what AI can do, Michael, no offense anyway, So
Speaker 3: a headful stories about our nation's Camphi Northwestern University, where
Speaker 3: I thought I might like to go.
Speaker 2: Then I found out what it would cost.
Speaker 1: Speaking of ah and you should have taken the loan,
Speaker 1: not paid it back, and waited for the government to
Speaker 1: bail you out, You moron.
Speaker 2: Well, this is a good point anyway.
Speaker 3: The Midwest University, which has not gotten as much scrutiny
Speaker 3: as some of the Northeastern elites but is starting to
Speaker 3: get more and more, has ramped up its lobbying efforts
Speaker 3: in the face of anti Semitism investigations from the Trump
Speaker 3: administration in Congress, with expenditures last year ballooning to a
Speaker 3: whopping seven hundred and fifty seven thousand dollars in lobbying
Speaker 3: by university, almost as much as Columbian Harvard combined. The
Speaker 3: amount combining in house and outside spending March more than
Speaker 3: a fivefold increase from the same period last year. And
Speaker 3: they point out that many p people could have been
Speaker 3: put through school for free for that amount of money.
Speaker 3: But yeah, the big colleges are now spending tremendous amounts
Speaker 3: of money to lobby I thought this was just interesting.
Speaker 3: This is an outrage exactly, Well, I guess it is.
Speaker 3: Generally if you're.
Speaker 2: Having a conversation with me, it ends up with outrage.
Speaker 3: But the Wall Street Journal with a really interesting piece
Speaker 3: It starts at Western Illinois University, which I'm familiar with,
Speaker 3: having grown up in the great state of Illinois, which
Speaker 3: has now gone to hell. It's all about how your
Speaker 3: second tier universities are bleeding students. They're shutting down dorms
Speaker 3: and departments and cutting budgets, and the towns around them
Speaker 3: are dying too. Why well, the biggies, like the University
Speaker 3: of Illinois where I went, is now getting more and
Speaker 3: more applicants all the time, while the second tier schools
Speaker 3: are are are going away. And again, the most of
Speaker 3: the articles about how it's killing the towns around them.
Speaker 3: And there are various opinions expressed in this piece. It's
Speaker 3: very long and it's interesting. But my takeaway and if
Speaker 3: I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but I don't think I am.
Speaker 3: Since college, well, okay, back when like Western Illinois University
Speaker 3: had full enrollment, you would go there, you would learn
Speaker 3: all sorts of stuff, and you'd have Western Illinois on
Speaker 3: your diploma instead of a more auspicious university. But then
Speaker 3: when you went out into the real world, you knew
Speaker 3: college stuff, plenty of it. Now that you don't learn
Speaker 3: a damn thing, And I'm leaving you out technical education folks,
Speaker 3: engineers and math people. But now that in a liberal
Speaker 3: arts situation, especially, you don't study, They don't teach ais
Speaker 3: doing the work. The only thing that matters is the
Speaker 3: name on the diploma and the networking opportunities it offers. Wow,
Speaker 3: So why would I go to Western Illinois?
Speaker 2: That's interesting?
Speaker 1: So when the knowledge mattered more, I went to like
Speaker 1: a fourth yer school, But like when the non mattered more,
Speaker 1: you didn't care as much about the name. I've never
Speaker 1: lived in a world where it mattered where I went
Speaker 1: to school, So I don't know what that's like.
Speaker 2: I mean, I've been in radio my whole life. But h.
Speaker 1: But now that the only thing you have is where
Speaker 1: you went. That's the only reason you paid. The entire
Speaker 1: amount of money you paid was one so you could
Speaker 1: spend another four years not working and have fun and
Speaker 1: to have that name on your diploma you got.
Speaker 2: You know, it makes sense you would choose why would
Speaker 2: you pay?
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just throwing random numbers out, but why
Speaker 1: would you go eighty thousand dollars in debt for something
Speaker 1: that does you zero good? As opposed to one hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty thousand dollars in debt for something that does
Speaker 1: you some good, right or you know, pick your numbers.
Speaker 1: But one more example. At the University of Tennessee Knoxville,
Speaker 1: the state's flagship school, enrollment jumped thirty percent in a
Speaker 1: eight year period ending in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: S I hate that thirty percent.
Speaker 3: At Tennessee's hen regional state colleges, it fell a combined
Speaker 3: three percent over that same period.
Speaker 2: Idios states, same thing.
Speaker 1: It makes logical sense. I hate that, that's true. I
Speaker 1: hate going further down the road of making a big
Speaker 1: deal of where you went to school. I just don't
Speaker 1: think it's good for anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's an econmist at Ohio University who studies higher education.
Speaker 3: He says, more of them, more of the students are
Speaker 3: aiming for prestigious universities, believing those diplomas will.
Speaker 2: Get them better jobs.
Speaker 3: Quote, it's a flight to quality, he said, No, it's not.
Speaker 3: It's a flight to name. Yeah, and the and you
Speaker 3: know it's it. Maybe it's irrational, but if you see
Speaker 3: somebody from your alma mater, you got three job applicants,
Speaker 3: and you see somebody from your alma mater, you have
Speaker 3: a little hell oh wow, they're fighting a line, I too,
Speaker 3: looking forward to talking to them. Hey to hang out
Speaker 3: at Cam's bar. And is that taco store still open?
Speaker 3: You know, it's just maybe it's dumb, but if you
Speaker 3: have those big name universities, it opens stores like crazy.
Speaker 2: I'll bet though.
Speaker 1: The problem is everything such a lagging indicator with this stuff.
Speaker 1: It is starting to happen that more and more companies
Speaker 1: aren't requiring a college degree because you know, reality bats last,
Speaker 1: and they found that the college degree didn't really prove anything,
Speaker 1: so why.
Speaker 2: Would they exclude people that don't have a college degree.
Speaker 1: Eventually companies will figure out that this university over that
Speaker 1: university didn't really mean anything.
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, sooner or later, Yeah, you'd hope. Anyway,
Speaker 3: I'm going to skip over. One of the radical lunatics
Speaker 3: arrested during the latest invasion of Columbia University was a
Speaker 3: Bloomberg journalist whose social media is full of vicious anti
Speaker 3: Semitic stuff and he's just a crank.
Speaker 2: I'm going to skip that.
Speaker 3: Chris Ruffo with a great interview with a Harvard researcher,
Speaker 3: spent twenty five years at harv twenty three years at
Speaker 3: Harvard Headline. The university is totally corrupted and still discriminating
Speaker 3: based on race and ideology in its faculty. They have
Speaker 3: changed some of the names and softened some of the stuff.
Speaker 3: But Chris asks in your observation, as Harvard continued to
Speaker 3: engage in discrimin discriminatory admissions and hiring, this guy whose
Speaker 3: name is Hack says, Yes, of course, there's endless evidence
Speaker 3: at Harvard and student admissions and faculty and staff hiring
Speaker 3: that people are in effect sorted via a left wing
Speaker 3: segregation filter, competing primarily against others of the same race
Speaker 3: and sometimes gender. And he goes on in some detail.
Speaker 3: But as I've told you one hundred times.
Speaker 2: They're pulling a veil over what they're doing. They're still
Speaker 2: doing it. This can't be said enough.
Speaker 1: The universities that invented the concept of privilege and lectured
Speaker 1: you about it, which I've always thought was BS.
Speaker 2: Engage in it more than you ever have in your life. Yes, yeah, actively.
Speaker 3: And then finally, and I rushed through stuff because I
Speaker 3: wanted to make sure we left time for this. Some
Speaker 3: of the students arrested for storming a Columbia University library recently.
Speaker 2: What were they doing? What were they studying?
Speaker 3: Well, before Isaiah de Castro Nash was arrested for storming library.
Speaker 3: The philosophy undergraduate dabbled in poetry. The primordial trauma of
Speaker 3: exist poetry.
Speaker 2: Let's hang on that for a bit.
Speaker 3: Death. Let me read it to you. Trust me, let
Speaker 3: me get through this. Let me read you the poem.
Speaker 3: The primordial trauma of existence is the death and rot
Speaker 3: of God. The corpse of God, the corpse of death,
Speaker 3: the corpse of time, the corpse of the fallus.
Speaker 2: That's the penace.
Speaker 3: The corpse of God is the corpse of the decaying fallus.
Speaker 2: What do you plan to do well? I dabble in poetry? Okay?
Speaker 6: Next?

Speaker 3: and eccentrics arrested for storming Butler Library last week. A
Speaker 3: Washington Free Beacon revere of online records found roughly eighty
Speaker 3: radicals storm the bookstore, did the vandalism, etc. One arrested student,
Speaker 3: Ridwan Or Raman, wants you on your knees. Raman a
Speaker 3: Muslim Bangladeshi, first generation American born in Portland. How perfect
Speaker 3: is that It's in the second year of her Master
Speaker 3: of Fine Arts at Columbia. One of her pieces the
Speaker 3: Ivy League University showcased in twenty twenty four. Points of
Speaker 3: Contact or who Are You on Your Hands for? Left
Speaker 3: Little to the imagination, featuring a low hanging self portrait
Speaker 3: of her body clad in black latex just to posed
Speaker 3: with a series of glazed black tiles made of porcelain.
Speaker 2: There you go, even without the ridiculous poetry or the painting.
Speaker 1: We have way way too many people that think they
Speaker 1: can dabble in poetry or art or whatever and hang
Speaker 1: out at college and then go out into the world
Speaker 1: and make a living.
Speaker 2: It's just we're a decade in society.
Speaker 3: She goes into descriptions of how she wants people to
Speaker 3: be on their hands and knees taking in her art.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: While she prefers making people look down, her fellow arrestee
Speaker 3: and aeis Robledo Morillo prefers having them look up. Mario,
Speaker 3: a Columbia College student in the Earth Institute Department. Oh,
Speaker 3: they're doing good work there at the Earth Institute, serves

Speaker 3: described white abolitionist dyke who holds a Bachelor of Arts
Speaker 3: in Sexuality, Gender and Queer Studies from Portland State University.
Speaker 2: So do I can you?
Speaker 3: Can you imagine if she applied for anything A lots
Speaker 3: of doors, lots of doors?
Speaker 1: What's the difference in her knowledge about anything between her
Speaker 1: and me? And I never took a class in it,
Speaker 1: That's what I'd like to know.

Speaker 3: Her public writings come with all the requisite trimmings, such
Speaker 3: as an academic pedigree one would aspire. Such an academic
Speaker 3: pedigree would inspire quote. This is from some of her
Speaker 3: extremely learned writings. Hegemonic Christianity functions as a colonial religion
Speaker 3: that is weaponized to reify itself in the maintenance of
Speaker 3: white supremacy and heteropatriarchy. True, I find much political unity
Speaker 3: in underscoring the connections between liberation theology movements and the
Speaker 3: struggle for prison industrial complex abolition.
Speaker 2: Didn't see that, come a digita words.
Speaker 3: Both do both demand the end of the world as
Speaker 3: we know it and are sustained by generating utopian imagination
Speaker 3: from the margins in the service of present liberation struggles.

Speaker 3: are involved in that scam who go along with that
Speaker 3: not their head like that all is some sort of
Speaker 3: meaningful anything good Lord. And then there's this gal who
Speaker 3: went through the whole ethnic Studies, white Depression, systemic racism thing,
Speaker 3: but the problem with it was the courses could be
Speaker 3: traumatic for students of color, and she doesn't believe the
Speaker 3: university was activists enough.
Speaker 2: I'm an employer, and I asked that other person.

Speaker 3: Next then there's this guy who describes himself as a
Speaker 3: warrior monk Okay, I have a great Halloween.

Speaker 2: said that they had retreated to. It's just the time
Speaker 2: to come in with massive force and endless time. Ben
Speaker 2: Luden got away.
Speaker 1: Every one of them that escaped the country was a
Speaker 1: potential pilot to fly another airline.
Speaker 2: Into a building and then here's this compound. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: we may have found him.
Speaker 5: The President said, nobody else in our government is to
Speaker 5: know about this.
Speaker 2: My team's going to the most important mission in modern history.
Speaker 1: Is the moment when everything you've planned to get Ben
Speaker 1: Loden is on the line in the next twenty minutes.
Speaker 2: And that's when all hell broke us soon.
Speaker 1: I'm particularly interested in and always have been, on the
Speaker 1: how bin Laden escaped.
Speaker 2: And then from the Cora Bora in particular. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: then to all those years to find him.
Speaker 1: I want to know if it was just an a
Speaker 1: lack if we had gone as aggressives I as we
Speaker 1: could like that. Kopher Black, who features is featured in
Speaker 1: many of the books I've read about this, The whole
Speaker 1: all have flies walking on their eyeballs in six weeks.

Speaker 2: Okay, well I'll watch it first and then i'll comment.
Speaker 1: That's my that's my take on it so far and
Speaker 1: everything I've read over the history over the history of it.
Speaker 1: My take is on it, we pulled, we pulled our punches,
Speaker 1: we pulled back a little. Don't want to you know,
Speaker 1: upset the Afghans or the pakistanis or whatever, just a
Speaker 1: little too much, a little cultural belligery. We should have
Speaker 1: just done whatever the hell we had to do it
Speaker 1: again him. And this is what happens if you mess
Speaker 1: with the United States. Lots of bad things happen. You
Speaker 1: don't want anybody even near you who does something bad
Speaker 1: in the United States. That's why Russia does it, That's
Speaker 1: why China does it.
Speaker 3: And when we're done, we're done, all right as you are,
Speaker 3: don't worry. You got nothing else to fear from us.
Speaker 3: But by god, you do it again, you're gonna get
Speaker 3: more of it, right, sure, yeah, kind of the anti
