1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty arm Strong

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: and Jettie and he Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: Listen is that President Trump is going to become the

5
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 2: first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl.

6
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: Every time the cuts to tell us swich he's gonna

7
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: lean in? Like, also, I'm here too, Hi, Mama Kelsey, Hi,

8
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: I just saw Travis Kelsey asked, doing those media appearances

9
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: all week long would be hard to do while you're

10
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: preparing for the biggest moment of your life all week long.

11
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: But Travis Kelcey was just asked, do you know what

12
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: Taylor's gonna wear to the game? Yeah? Did he punch them?

13
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: Why didn't he punch them? He laughed, and he laughed,

14
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: and he said, I'm sure she's gonna wear red. There

15
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: you go, that's a charmac. Yeah. Man.

16
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 3: So who could forget this charming young woman? Catherine Mayer,

17
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 3: she was the This was just before she became the

18
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 3: CEO of NPR for.

19
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 4: Our most tricky disagreements. Seeking the truth and seeking to

20
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 4: convince others of the truth might not be the right

21
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 4: place to start in fact, our reverence for the truth

22
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 4: might be a distraction that's getting in the way of

23
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 4: fine and common ground and getting things done.

24
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: That is so insane as somebody who is allegedly a journalist.

25
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: She is not a journalist. She is an activist and

26
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: a propagandist. And she is with her blonde hair and

27
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: her straight white teeth and her lovely shape and her

28
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 3: soothing voice, trying to explain this hole seeking the truth thing.

29
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: That's an interference with our goal, even outside of journalism.

30
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: And tell me a realm of life where you like that,

31
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: any any any anything where you like the the truth

32
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: is getting in the way. When when is that ever

33
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: a thing? Oh?

34
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, when does that ever not turn rancid and and

35
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 3: and and infected in a relationship. I'll just keep these secrets.

36
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 3: He's better off not knowing. Yeah, nice attitude. Play that

37
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: one more time, Michael. It's so incredible.

38
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 4: For our most tricky disagreements, seeking the truth and seeking

39
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 4: to convince others of the truth might not be the

40
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 4: right place to start. In fact, our reverence for the

41
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 4: truth might be a distraction that's getting in the way

42
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 4: of finding common ground and getting things done.

43
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: That's like, Wow, dangerous lenin Stalin sort of crap right there.

44
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 3: I mean just gonna say Hermann Gerring is in hell saying, Wow,

45
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: she's got it down?

46
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: Is she still in charge NPR? I believe she is? Wow? Yeah.

47
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: So anyway, do you remember their name? Uri Berliner?

48
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 3: He was the guy who it was like ten months

49
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 3: ago he wrote an essay for The Free Press in

50
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 3: which he explained why he was resigning from NPR, where

51
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 3: he'd worked for twenty five years, and he said much

52
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: more in sorrow than anger, having they lost the trust

53
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: of a large segment of the country. Once curious, open minded, rigorous,

54
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: if liberal leaning, public radio news had evolved into a

55
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: doctrinaire source of what I called one story after another

56
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: about instances of supposed racism, transphobia, signs of the climate apocalypse,

57
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: Israel doing something bad, in the dire threat of Republican policies.

58
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty alone, we dismissed the very possibility of

59
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: a COVID lab league in China, and our then managing

60
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 3: editor refused even to cover Hunter Biden's laptop, call it

61
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: not really a story, and he reminds us of some

62
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 3: of the things he said. But now the crisis is

63
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 3: in at hand. Republicans control Congress in the White House,

64
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 3: and they seem serious about what had previously been ritualistic

65
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 3: GOP threats to cut public media. And indeed, Catherine Mayer,

66
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 3: the delightful woman we just heard from who called Berliners

67
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: free press essay disrespectful, hurtful and demeaning, Oh my god,

68
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: has been called before the House Subcommittee on Delivery on

69
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: Government Efficiency, that's the doge fellas as soon as early March.

70
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: So do you have the numbers? I saw some numbers

71
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: footing around the other day. That's about a half a

72
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: billion dollars five hundred million dollars. It gets spread around

73
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: NPR and PBS outlets around the country. So it's not

74
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: going to happen to have that, and it's not a

75
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: ton of money, but you know, it's a half billion

76
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: dollars more that's being spread around to stations were on

77
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: of taxpayer money to not to have as many commercials

78
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: or higher better reporters or whatever you want to do

79
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: with it.

80
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 3: And if you have state sponsored propaganda media for the

81
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 3: domestic audience, the sides of the budget isn't the issue.

82
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 3: It's just it's very existence that is going to be

83
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 3: absolutely terrible.

84
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: I personally, I know though a number of very smart

85
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: people who you cannot convince them that NPR is not

86
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: didn't know they're straight down the middle, didn't They have

87
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: no reason to be biased because they don't have to

88
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: take advertisers. I know, and I've actually said to people

89
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: before seriously, and because I don't want to get into

90
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: a fight with people that I'm friends with, but sit

91
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: down anytime for a half an hour, let's listen together.

92
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: I'll point out all the places where it's just insanely biased. Yeah.

93
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: Well, you know, as I've said a million times, I'm

94
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: thinking of getting it tattooed on my forehead. Intelligence and

95
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 3: wisdom are two completely different things and practically unrelated.

96
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: And if you just.

97
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: Never get a perspective, you might be both intelligent and wise,

98
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 3: but not realize because you hadn't seen the other side

99
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 3: of it. And I think a lot of people haven't.

100
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: But anyway, Uri Berliner, the point of his piece today

101
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: is he suggests a series of questions to ask the

102
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 3: head of NPR, both Ms Mayer, who would have been

103
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 3: an absolutely outstanding Nazi propagandas gandist, and Paul Berger, CEO

104
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 3: of PBS. Can you provide examples of NPR coverage that

105
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 3: criticized or questioned progressive narratives on crime, immigration, youth, gender, medicine,

106
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: or climate change. Ms Mayor you said, regarding your previous

107
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 3: role as the CEO of the Wikipedia Foundation Wikimedia Foundation,

108
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 3: that our reverence for the truth might be a distraction

109
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 3: that quote we just heard. What exactly did you mean?

110
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 3: Do you still believe it? And if so, how is

111
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: such a view compatible with leadership of a news organization.

112
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 3: Another question, The immediate past CEO of NPR, the late

113
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 3: John Lansing, declared that diversity, equity, and inclusion is the

114
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 3: north star of our organization?

115
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: Is it still?

116
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 3: If not, why and if so, please explain how DEI

117
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: influences NPR's hiring, training, and coverage. Love this, especially because

118
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: all that's illegal. In twenty twenty one, his next question goes,

119
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 3: I found eighty seven registered Democrats among NPR editorial staff

120
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 3: residing in DC, where the network is headquartered.

121
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: Eighty seven.

122
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: There were zero Republicans, along with forty four registered with

123
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 3: no party. Is NPR doing anything to address this seeming

124
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 3: lack of diversity of viewpoints, such as hiring journalists from

125
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 3: conservative media recruiting military veterans or seeking candidates who attended

126
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 3: religious colleges and state universities.

127
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: Here's a question I'd go with, do you realize that

128
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: latenax is stupid and that Hispanic people don't like it?

129
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: And it's only over educated white women that ever even

130
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: came up with this stupid term and keep using it,

131
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: But you use it all the time on PBS and NPR.

132
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 3: In fact, are you aware that LATINX people hate LATINX

133
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 3: more than anybody else?

134
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: It's stupid? Are you aware of that? That'd be my

135
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: question be a good question.

136
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 3: Do you have regrets about how NPR dealt with the

137
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: Hunter Biden laptop story, the Lablaku theory, or more recently,

138
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 3: President Joe Biden's apparent cognitive decline while in the White House.

139
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: Love these questions.

140
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: NPR says it gets one percent of its annual operating

141
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 3: budget directly from federal funding. A larger portion, though reportedly

142
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 3: around ten percent, flows indirectly to NPR through member stations

143
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 3: that acquire NPR programming with support from the Corporation for

144
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 3: Public Broadcasting. Would you be open to a new financing

145
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 3: structure that lets local member stations keep more money.

146
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: In which case you would what probably end up with

147
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: super left leaning NPR versions in San Francisco, which you

148
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: already have, but maybe more moderate or right leaning NPR

149
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: stations in you know, Oklahoma City, May I don't know.

150
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, his next question is kind of hint at that

151
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 3: very thing. It could happen, I.

152
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: Mean, because well, how would we feel about that. I'd

153
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: never thought about this before, but I think that'd be

154
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: fine for public radio if it more or less reflected

155
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: that city area's beliefs and things. If you're gonna have

156
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: bias at all, as opposed to the way it currently is,

157
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: it's like insanely biased every every example in the country.

158
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: Well, and this is the problem with right yeah, obviously. Uh,

159
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: this is the problem with government media in general. Is

160
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 3: once you step onto that that twisty, slippery road, you're

161
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 3: gonna find yourself in really uncomfortable places without good answers.

162
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 3: I mean, for instance, I could absolutely make the case

163
00:09:51,000 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 3: that NPR ought to be studiously carefully run by an

164
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 3: ideologically diverse, you know, board that makes sure every issue

165
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 3: looks at both sides in a fair way, steel mans

166
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 3: each other's arguments, as the saying goes, But then you

167
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: run into the problem. And actually lefties bring this up.

168
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 3: They bring it up in ridiculous ways. But all right,

169
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 3: what if the question is should child molesters be allowed

170
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 3: to get child porn?

171
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: Or you know something truly horrific, that's a good one,

172
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: that's a that's a great ethical dilemma.

173
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 3: Or or you know, like confused adolescent girls ought to

174
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 3: be fed sterilizing hormones and have their healthy breasts cut

175
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 3: off if they decide one day, under pressure from an

176
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 3: activist teacher, that they admire that.

177
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: They're a boy.

178
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 3: I don't particularly relish the idea of having somebody make

179
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 3: that case because I find it repugnant.

180
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: So you just you find yourself in a place you

181
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: don't want to be, right, hmm, Well, what we got

182
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: currently is ridiculous and it's laugh out loud funny regularly.

183
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, their attempt to be the news.

184
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 3: Well, and they're how every story or eight out of

185
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 3: nine is who is the victim of something somewhere on earth?

186
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: Right?

187
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: I mean, if there is a painter in Afghanistan who

188
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 3: no longer can get the blue paint because the US

189
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 3: is embargoed something or other, they will spend ten minutes

190
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 3: on the bitter sadness of this poor Afghan artist who

191
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 3: can't get blue paint.

192
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: There was a horrifying school shooting somewhere in the world

193
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: the other day. Where was that Sweden someplace? And I

194
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: was listening to the NPR version where they went at

195
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: length about how we've exported this culture to the country.

196
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: So we're to blame. Gun owners are in the United

197
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: States are to blame for school shootings in other countries.

198
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: Let's make that clear. Because nobody has any agency. They're

199
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: all just victims of what ugly conservatives do. That's it whole.

200
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: In the Palestinians who have no agency, that's victims. That's

201
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: that weird mindset that you're always talking about the oppressor

202
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: oppressed if you buy into that mindset. So whoever's got

203
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: power is the reason for all bad things happening. So

204
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: United States says power the biggest economy and biggest culture

205
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: and everything like that. So any shootings around the world,

206
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: it's our fault.

207
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 3: And anybody who's a victim or has less power is

208
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 3: automatically good and virtuous and right, no matter what their

209
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 3: opinion is. And a lot of people listening are like, dude,

210
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 3: you can't oversimplify it like that.

211
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: No, that's actually the philosophy. I've said more than once.

212
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 3: If my dog has spoused that philosophy, I would kick

213
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 3: him for being that dumb.

214
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: And I am not a dog kicker. Oh my god,

215
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: But you got people.

216
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 3: Graduating from quote unquote, I might vomit elite universities who

217
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 3: spout this nonsense all day long and think they're wise

218
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 3: and educated.

219
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: Man, if they're going to finally look into the funding

220
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: of NPR radio and like get to the brass tacks

221
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: on it, I would love that. I'll watch that on

222
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: c SPAN. More on the way.

223
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 2: Diplomatic shock waves are reverberating across the Middle East after

224
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: President Trump unexpectedly announced plans for a US takeover of

225
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: Gaza that would include forcing Palestinians out. The idea was

226
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: quickly rejected by Jordan and Egypt, countries the President says

227
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 2: would take in displaced refugees. Saudi Arabia also denounce the proposal.

228
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 5: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed that the Kingdom's position

229
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 5: on the establishment of the Palestinian state is firm, steadfast

230
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 5: and unwavering, and that this firm position is not subject

231
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 5: to negotiation or outbidding.

232
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: Hmm, do they feel that way behind the scenes. I

233
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: don't know. Time will tell.

234
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 3: I speak fluent Arabic, I can translate that we have

235
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 3: been getting by by paying lip service to the Palestinian

236
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 3: people while doing nothing and letting them continue to die.

237
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: We would like to continue that plan. So it's Oscar season.

238
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: We've been talking about that trans movie that got so

239
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: many nominations. But some movies are in the news. There

240
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: is a new list out of best movies of all time.

241
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: It's compiled from like a whole bunch of interesting sources

242
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: IMBD and Rotten Tomatoes and all these different things that

243
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: people vote on. There's like ten different examples. They compiled

244
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: them and gave them a score and came up with

245
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: the fifty best. That's as good as any way to

246
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: do it off the top of your head. What's your

247
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: favorite movie of all time?

248
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 6: Oh?

249
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: For years I've said Unforgiven Clinic Western. Would that be

250
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: different than if I ask you what's the best movie

251
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: of all time? Or would it be the same question.

252
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: It's it's sure similar. And I was looking at this

253
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: list and wondering, has anybody watched Paths of Glory or

254
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: Seven Samurai who didn't take a film class in college.

255
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean, do people watch that? I don't even know

256
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: Paths of Glory. I think it's a young Kirk Douglas,

257
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: but it's a World War One trenches movie. Truly good? Huh.

258
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: But I mean it's black and white and dark, and

259
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: you know, you know, those kind of movies hard to follow.

260
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: But I just wonder does anybody ever watch those movies?

261
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: They often make your list. One thing I like about

262
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: this list is Citizen Kane is not I don't even

263
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: know where Citizen Kane shows up on? Here is it on?

264
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: Does it make the top fifty? It's not, certainly not

265
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: in the top ten. My favorite movie of all time,

266
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: I think is Apocalypse Now is at thirty four. I

267
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: almost went with Saving Private Ryan. But here's your top ten.

268
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: It's lost to Shakespeare in Love for the Oscars. By

269
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: the way, never forget, here's your top ten. And this

270
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: has got a lot more to do with people watching

271
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: them and liking them more than critics. I guess number

272
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: ten pulp fiction, And whenever you do a list like that,

273
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: you know it's going to tend toward recent. Nobody's taken there,

274
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: nobody's on the gay Hey, kids, I rented Pads of Glory.

275
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: Then we're gonna watch seven Samurai tomorrow night. Now they're

276
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: black and white, silent film. That's right, nobody watches that stuff,

277
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: so there's a presentism bias. Number ten pulp fiction. Damn

278
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: good movie. I'll watch it just recently with my high

279
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: school kid. It's a heck of a movie. We did

280
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: skip a scene or two so much buggery. Yeah, exactly,

281
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: I didn't really need that. Uh number nine, you know what,

282
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: We're down to one minute, and I don't want to

283
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: rush through this because I think I can't wait. But seriously,

284
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: who watches those art films? Does anybody? Unless you've heard

285
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: about it so much you're curious enough go out and

286
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: watch Citizen Kane? Are you having date night anything? Unless

287
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: you got a really weird boyfriend or girlfriend, do you

288
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: do that? I just don't think they do. And this

289
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: is true of music to some extent. Too innovative isn't

290
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: always enjoyable. Right, broke new ground paved the way for

291
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: this style. Doesn't mean I need to see it now

292
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: or hear it now.

293
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it turned into something that's a lot more enjoyable,

294
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 3: comfortable for most people to watch. But the early innovative stuff.

295
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's it's just just tough.

296
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you, Katie and Michael, also, what's your

297
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: what's your favorite movie all time? When we come back,

298
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: among other things, and we'll get to this list, and

299
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: we got some other stuff. I have plenty of good stuff.

300
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: It's gonna be all It's gonna be a bang up

301
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: half hour. I'll tell you that if you missed a

302
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: second to get the podcast. Armstrong and Getty on demand

303
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: are Strong and Getty. We are gonna fight this fight.

304
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: I am gonna stand with you in this fight, and

305
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 3: we will win.

306
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: We win. We will win. We will win. We will win.

307
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: We will win. We will win. We won't rest. We

308
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: won't rest. We won't rest. We won't rest.

309
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 4: They are those that have said that we made face

310
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 4: a constitutional crisis.

311
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 7: I want you to.

312
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: Know that the crisis is here.

313
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 8: We will not take this from Donald Trump and Elon.

314
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 2: Mus We have got to tell Elon must nobody elected judge.

315
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, a lot of we are a war hit

316
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: the streets. Sounds like you're inspiring and inspiring an insurrection

317
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: to me, But I'm guessing on this one. This is

318
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: completely guessing. But I think they're on the wrong side

319
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: of this by a lot. I think the majority of

320
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: Americans are loving this digging into these various programs and

321
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 1: finding stuff that's a waste of money. It's just in

322
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: the lunch room and a guy getting coffee in there,

323
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: one of the top salespeople around here saying how many

324
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars for Politico subscriptions? That story you brought

325
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: us earlier where taxpayers were buying Politico subscriptions for some

326
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: agency in DC, And I brought up the yeah, well,

327
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: that's about the same as the eight million dollars for

328
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: the trans play in Ireland or whatever. I've had a

329
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: number of people bring this up to me in real life.

330
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: This cutting this just insane stuff that condoms for the

331
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: Tally banner whatever the hell?

332
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 3: Right, right, Yeah, I just I think it's desperate flailing.

333
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: They don't know what to say. Oh yeah, the idea

334
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: that Elon Musk is evil for trying to get rid

335
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: of that stuff. All right, we'll see how this plays out.

336
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: So I brought up the it's Oscar season. Been talking

337
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: about movies. There's this new list of the fifty greatest

338
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: movies of all time where they compiled a bunch of

339
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: online thingies and took their average scores, and this is

340
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: what they came up with. So I did. I just

341
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: noticed in Uh, I'll go with the top sixteen because

342
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: at number sixteen is the highest ranking Star Wars movie

343
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: of any kind. Well, first of this, Michael, what's your

344
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: favorite movie of all time or what do you think

345
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: is the best movie of all time?

346
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 9: Well, for me, I mean it's Araplane, the comedy movie

347
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 9: way back when. So I have a fond memories of

348
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 9: watching it with my dad. And also it taught me

349
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 9: you know what comedy was, I mean, you know what

350
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 9: crazy comedy was, and that's I was.

351
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: Then you spent some time in a Turkish prison. No,

352
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: that was handy. That is a great movie if you're

353
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: gonna talk about like influence or people know it or

354
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: references or whatever. Yeah, rank way up there. Anyway, Katie, It's.

355
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 10: A toss up between two from Sawshank Redemption to Life

356
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 10: Is Beautiful.

357
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: Those are two of my all time beautiful too fine

358
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 1: choices both. Yeah, Shawshank Redemption ranks very high in this

359
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: list of what I could about to get to it

360
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: quick reveal, I've never seen that movie really, Yeah.

361
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 3: Right up the Gladiator. It's it's it's every bit as

362
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 3: good as you've gotten the impression.

363
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: I believe it. I just I've never been in the

364
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: mood for it. Every time I think of it, I

365
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: think I should have seen it at the time when

366
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: it was hot. Yeah, it's it's not a light comedy.

367
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: But I'm not a Star Wars guy. So the highest

368
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: ranking Star Wars movie is Star Wars Episode five, The

369
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: Umpire Strikes Back from nineteen eighty Did you say Empire Umpire?

370
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 3: Just because if you said Umpire, I think you're confused

371
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 3: about the plot.

372
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: It's Empire. Ah, So the only Star Wars movie they

373
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,719
Speaker 1: got in the top sixteen is that one? Why are

374
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: you shaking your head like that? Katie? Know that I

375
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: your friend and colleague, huge Star Wars fan, But would

376
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 1: you have but would you choose a different one? If

377
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna have one of the Star Wars movies from

378
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: the whole franchise break into the top fifteen, would it

379
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: be that one?

380
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 9: Fine?

381
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: Okay, that's as good as they get, but a whole

382
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: bunch of Lord of the Rings. We just don't like wookies,

383
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: do you, Katie? And nailed that three three Lord of

384
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: the Rings movies make it in the top fifteen like

385
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: the greatest filmmaking ever made. They are extraordinary. I don't

386
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: dig that sort of thing at all. I just I'm

387
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: not into fantasy that sort of stuff. But the movie

388
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: making part of it is just freaking amazing. That's Peter

389
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: Jackson stuff. Is that right?

390
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 10: I have such a hard problem escaping from reality with

391
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 10: those kind of movies. I just picture that director call

392
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 10: cut and the Hobbits going off and having a cigarette

393
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 10: or something.

394
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: I can't at their hairy feet. Interesting problem that is anyway.

395
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 9: Soon as are Hanson's movies are Smoking in the Bandit

396

Speaker 1: did not enjoy it. Really. I love that movie, but

412
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: if you're used to the modern pace of movies, right,

413
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: it is so slow compared to the modern world. I

414
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: tried to watch it with my kids and it was

415
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: just killing them. It's like a punishment for them. And

420
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: good for you. Congratulations to Samurai. Too long. Five would

Speaker 1: me a break, right. You can't hardly get better than

00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: that movie. The Godfather Part Two at number five. Schindler's

425
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: List at number four, do you feel like you're being

426
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 1: mean if you don't put Schindler's List at the top.

427
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: I like Schindler's List. I just don't get bad being

428
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: an anti semi from the Seinfeld episode, you fell asleep

429
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:09,360

430
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: Angry Men Again, I think ten Angry Men would have

431
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: been plenty. You get two of the angry Men with

432
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: a couple of samurais, go have their own movie, and uh,

433
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: it might have been a good, good film. Twelve Angry Men.

434
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I've ever seen that. Oh goodness, second

435
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: best movie of all time. I've seen one of the

436
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: it was a very very famous play for a long time.

437
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: Sure I've seen some version of it. It's a jury movie, right, Yeah.

438
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 3: Essentially eleven to one bigoted jury is going to convict

439
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 3: a black man of murder, I think it is, and

440
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 3: one loan hold out. It's very uh to kill a

441
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 3: mockingbirtish in its.

442
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: Themes and what they have is the greatest movie of

443
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: all time The Godfather from nineteen seventy two, which is

444
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: an amazing movie and I think ranks up there with

445
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: the Lord of the Ring stuff in terms of like

446
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: movie making. I mean that whole backyard wedding scene and

447
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: all that stuff. It's just incredible, just incredible. But I

448
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: just thought it was interesting that this list. I don't

449
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: see Citizen Kane anywhere, which used to be Like if

450
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: you ask critics, they always put it number one or two. Whatever.

451
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: Good for you, congratulations, you're smarter than me. You like

452
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: Citizen Kane. Give me a real movie. Let me look

453
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: through the top fifty three of anything jumps out Amadeus.

454
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: Oh loved it. Alien number forty oh, one of the

455
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: great suspense movies ever made. Yeah, Lawrence Arabia is cool

456
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 1: movie making, but again very slow, very slow. Can they

457
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,959
Speaker 1: speed up old timey movies? Just like the way we

458
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: were talking earlier about listening to podcasts at one and

459
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: a half time speed or if that would work. You

460
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: take Lawrence of Arabian, you put it on one and

461
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: a half time speed. Maybe my kids could enjoy it

462
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: in some fashion whatsoever?

463
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 3: Right, instead of having Lawrence gaze out on the desert

464
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 3: sands for thirty seconds, just have a quick one second

465
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 3: that he looked at the sand for a bit and

466
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 3: then it comes.

467
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: To the next scene exactly. My favorite movie of all time.

468
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: I think is Apocalypse Now and that's number thirty four.

469
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: Spider Man Spider Verse at thirty two. That is a

470
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: great movie. MM Silence of the Lambs. I like my Lambs.

471
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: Noisy Casa Blanket twenty six, Cuckoo's Nests.

472
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 3: Back when you could present a serial killing madman as

473
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 3: a transgender person.

474
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: Is the shining on there? Oh yes, please it is.

475
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 1: I saw it in here somewhere.

476
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 10: I just saw a movie with Jack Nicholson's son, and oh,

477
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 10: my gosh, it is Jack Nicholson Part two, really really

478
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 10: facial expressions, his mannerisms, the way he laughs.

479
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: Oh it's so great. Huh yeah. I think the only

480
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: Jack Nicholson thing on here is uh Cuckoo's Nest, which

481
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: I do really really like that movie. Psycho. I've always

482
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 1: felt that's overrated. It's fine.

483
00:26:55,760 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 3: That's again of its time, influential and important and enjoyable

484
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 3: or different questions.

485
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: Saving Private Ryan is number twenty two. That's a pretty

486
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: damn good movie. Got a bunch of art films all right.

487
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: I feel like they throw those into the list just

488
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: to make them to give their list some credibility, Like

489
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: if you don't have Semon Samurai and Harry Carey from

490
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: sixty two, which I've never seen, and Pads of Glory,

491
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: which nobody wants to watch. If you don't have those

492
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: Modern Times from nineteen thirty six with Charlie Chaplin, I

493
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: feel like you we're gonna make a list. We gotta

494
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: put these five on there. Let's spread them out and

495
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: then get the real movies on their people care about.

496
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 3: I'll watch Modern Times by Charlie Chaplin if you change

497
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 3: the title to old boring Times, gotta be accurate.

498
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: I demand that when people had nothing else to do Times,

499
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: it should be the main of the movie.

500
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 3: Let's pop that list up on Armstrong and Geddy dot com.

501
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: Animal House is not on the list. Noo also a

502
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: very very good movie. The like we've mentioned before, the

503
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: Twitter follow of seventy Sports guy or what is that called.

504
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: That's a super seventy sports super seventy Sports and he

505
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: has a tweet that he regularly puts out that mentions

506
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: Judden Nelson from Breakfast Club and he says Bender's character

507
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: is more memorable and more amazing than tons of Oscar winners,

508
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: and that that's true. It's kind of like you mentioned

509
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: of the movie Airplane. If you rank it on a

510
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: like influence in your life, you remember it, it had

511
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: an impact on you. The list is completely different than

512
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: if you get into some of the fancy stuff.

513
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 3: Right right now, Katie, you're not like a super girly girl.

514
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 3: And I mean that is neither a compliment nor an insult.

515
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 3: It just would you say that's more or less accurate?

516
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, So is it like it is with guys?

517
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 3: To the extent that you've observed it that there are

518
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 3: a hand a pretty good handful of touchstone movies that

519
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:09,959
Speaker 3: everybody knows the catchphrases from for their generation. Does that

520
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 3: happen with women the way it does with guys?

521
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 10: Somewhat like the more recent comedy stuff like step Brothers,

522
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 10: I know, you know, like the do we just become

523
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 10: best friends? Like throwing those type of lines around that

524
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 10: it's not like a real big point of our conversation.

525
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, I've been a golf freak freaks since has

526
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 3: a little kids, So it's prejudice. But to me, Caddyshack

527
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 3: has launched more catchphrases than any film in the history

528
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 3: of mankind. Such a great movie, and for that reason alone,

529
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 3: it must be on all best of lists right exactly.

530
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: That's kind of what I'm saying that if it has

531
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: that sort of cultural impact, that there ought to be

532
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: some list for that, or it should carry some Nobody's

533
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: going around in the office today quoting from Pads of Glory,

534
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: which might be a silent film now that I remember,

535
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: it makes it difficult to have quotes. But you see

536
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: my point, I do. We will finish strong next.

537
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:11,600

547
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: country artists. My kids could have too when they were younger,

548
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: for the Mouths of Day because it is the only

549
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: miss music we could listen to. Even though it's probably

550

551

00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 8: in the way that he did that visual that you

00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 8: of gratitude.

580
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 3: That was Riley Gaines who was forced to her metaphorical.

581
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: Needs nees for a way.

582
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 3: That sentence was just a train wreck, forced to her

583
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 3: knees metaphorically speaking to dress and undress in front of

584
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,440

586
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:51,960

00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: Then? How is it an applause level event to do

588
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:02,240

Speaker 1: from everybody on the crew.

595
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 3: It's an ensemble cast, Michael Angelow, what's your final thought?

596
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 9: We've had some people on Facebook asking about this. Yeah,

597
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 9: the cheese dip. Recipe for your football party is on

598
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 9: Armstrong Getty Radio or Armstrong Getty dot com.

599
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: How long will it take me to make this? Thirty minutes? Cool? Yeah?

600
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: All right, Katie Greener esteemed to Newswoman as a final thought.

601
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 10: Katie, I just realized today February sixth is my second

602
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 10: Armstrong and Getty birthday.

603
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: Hey, now show for two years? Really kidding, congrats, I

604
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: feel like you just started ten years. I'm aging like

605
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: a president. Oh my god. Jack. A final thought for us,

606
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: how many schools across the country, at all levels are

607
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: happy that Trump that so that they've got an excuse

608
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: for no longer allowing this. And I'll bet a bunch

609
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: of schools where they were letting dudes, you know, win

610
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: the track competition or whatever. They're gonna pretend they don't

611
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: like it, but they're gonna love the fact that we

612
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 1: can't do that anymore. We'd lose our fund. I'm so sorry.

613
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 1: A lot of good teachers, a lot of good coaches. Yeah,

614
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: absolutely true. My final thought, I always feel like trapped.

615
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 3: And cheated when when forced to name one of the

616
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 3: best of something on my favorite of something.

617
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: But that's silly. I take everything too seriously.

618
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 3: But I should throw in a clockwork Orange, which I've

619
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 3: watched so many times in my life.
