Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
Speaker 1: and Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2: I'm a Chinese scientists entered the United States in July
Speaker 2: with a poisonous fungus stash in his backpack. His destination
Speaker 2: a laboratory at the University of Michigan, where he would
Speaker 2: rendezvous with his girlfriend. Here's a conversation between the suspects
Speaker 2: on a chat about the attempts to sneak the deadly
Speaker 2: pathogen into the United States, teaching yang seeds must be
Speaker 2: placed well, where to put it? I only have one
Speaker 2: pair of shoes. The insole cannot be pulled off. Did
Speaker 2: you bring just one pair of shoes? Three pair? Wear
Speaker 2: one pair? Where did the seeds get put in the tube?
Speaker 2: I put them in my Martin boots in a small bag,
Speaker 2: the ziploc bag, very small. That's good. Just put it
Speaker 2: in your shoes. I stuffed them in the shoes.
Speaker 1: That was the man and his girlfriend who claimed he
Speaker 1: didn't know anything about the fungus, and then she said
Speaker 1: I didn't ask him to bring it in. And then
Speaker 1: they found the text messages which made it clear that
Speaker 1: they knew they were doing something they shouldn't do, and
Speaker 1: they were working together. That's why they have been arrested.
Speaker 3: Chinese agent is trying to smuggle in a dangerous pathogen
Speaker 3: to poison our crops. Although, as we mentioned a couple
Speaker 3: hours ago, Greg from Sunnyvale with this note, come on,
Speaker 3: you racists, you're perpetuating the increase in violent attacks on
Speaker 3: Asian Americans. The fungus is just a discoloration of the
Speaker 3: toenails of the pangle. And then was eating a bat
Speaker 3: at the wet market. But we should probably ask doctor
Speaker 3: Fauci to be sure.
Speaker 1: Ooh, Supreme Court is releasing judgments. Got a couple of
Speaker 1: headlines for you. Maybe we'll do a deep dive on
Speaker 1: them a little bit later. One breaking news, the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court unanimously blocked the Mexican government from proceeding with an
Speaker 1: unusual lawsuit, says the Washington Post, that sought to hold
Speaker 1: the major US firearms manufacturers accountable for gun violence in Mexico. Well,
Speaker 1: always seemed stupid. I can't believe it had to go
Speaker 1: all the way to Supreme Court. But anyway, that ain't
Speaker 1: gonna happen. This one is interesting, though. The Supreme Court
Speaker 1: rules for a straight woman in a job discrimination suit.
Speaker 1: The justices rejected an appeals court's requirement that members of
Speaker 1: majority groups meet a heightened standard to win employment discrimination cases.
Speaker 1: If you're a dude or white, you have to have
Speaker 1: some serious reasons for while you're a discriminated against prior.
Speaker 1: Now it's just if you're discriminated to discriminate, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: This is another loud and unequivocal statement that racial discrimination, bigotry,
Speaker 3: whatever is bigotry, you can't it doesn't matter who's on
Speaker 3: the receiving end. We won't have it.
Speaker 1: I was about to say this, but I think John
Speaker 1: Roberts actually said this recently. You can't fight discrimination with discrimination,
Speaker 1: right and again the crap. Well, no, that's not true
Speaker 1: because the dominant group and the heteropatriarchy blubb. No, we
Speaker 1: don't let you discriminate based on sexual orientation or race.
Speaker 1: In the United States. We don't do it. It's illegal. Well,
Speaker 1: but the oppressor group, no, cut the crap. I think
Speaker 1: the simple principle stick to it. I think closer to
Speaker 1: his actual quote was you can't fix discrimination with discrimination,
Speaker 1: which is right.
Speaker 3: You think obviously true. Amen, well done, soups, well done.
Speaker 3: One more thought before I get into really interesting stuff
Speaker 3: about sleep, just had to mention this. Have you seen
Speaker 3: Corey Booker giving the Nazi salute?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I have actually side by side with Elon Musk's quote
Speaker 3: unquote Nazi salute there at the it was the inauguration
Speaker 3: speech or the convention, whatever it was, when a big
Speaker 3: deal was made of that.
Speaker 1: I mean side by side.
Speaker 3: It's like the famous Marx Brothers bit from Duck Soup,
Speaker 3: where Groucho and Harpo are mirror images of each other.
Speaker 3: It is precisely the same blanking gesture.
Speaker 1: Here's a list. Cory Booker, who is a Democratic senator.
Speaker 3: Yes, from New Jersey, the Spartacus speech, Google it, chet
Speaker 3: gpt it. Anyway, here is a list of the news
Speaker 3: networks who have not covered Cory Booker's Nazi salute. The
Speaker 3: New York Times, CNN, Washington Post, MSNBC, NPR, USA Today, Reuter's, Axios,
Speaker 3: and ABC News.
Speaker 1: Why would I list them? Every single one of them
Speaker 1: wrote stories on Elon Musk's Nazi salute. I know a family,
Speaker 1: actually know a family, husband, wife, and child. Tipping point
Speaker 1: for them leaving the country. They're actually leaving the country,
Speaker 1: not kidding. Was Elon's Nazi salute? And if you don't
Speaker 1: think it was a Nazi salute, you are blind. Obviously
Speaker 1: it was a Nazi salute. Yeah, how did I don't
Speaker 1: even know. I don't know. I don't know how to
Speaker 1: explain that these are two smart people too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, as I say all the time, intelligence and
Speaker 3: wisdom are unconnected or not.
Speaker 1: That's from boxtremely try.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, that was That was the title of Corey
Speaker 3: worker speech, as I understand it. So, this is so interesting,
Speaker 3: and I think it applies to all. I think it
Speaker 3: applies to all. Of course, it applies to all of us.
Speaker 3: The genetic components of sleep. Without eight or nine hours
Speaker 3: of sleep, most of us would stagger around like zombies.
Speaker 1: Well six to eight tonight and whatever.
Speaker 3: But according to a new study, some people have a
Speaker 3: genetic mutation that makes them feel perfectly terrific after sleeping
Speaker 3: only about half as much.
Speaker 1: Well you kind of YadA YadA, six to nine. I
Speaker 1: mean six is way different than nine. That gives you
Speaker 1: an extra three hours a day of productivity or leap
Speaker 1: or whatever you want to do. Sure sleeping, and this
Speaker 1: is so important.
Speaker 3: Sleeping gives the body a chance to detox and clear
Speaker 3: out the junk from your brain. And I've also heard
Speaker 3: it described by neuroscientists as when you do your filing
Speaker 3: and when you do your combining of ideas and finding
Speaker 3: the patterns and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: A lot of that stuff happens while you're asleep.
Speaker 3: Anyway, Well, the human body typically takes about eight or
Speaker 3: nine hours to do this. Having what's called the short
Speaker 3: sleep mutation makes its possible within just three to six hours.
Speaker 3: There's this neuroscientist who researches gene mutations relaid to sleep.
Speaker 3: He's now discovered in another mutation that contributes to natural
Speaker 3: short sleep. They call it NSS and his field adding
Speaker 3: to the five already known mutations that she and her
Speaker 3: team previously discovered. So there are half a dozen of
Speaker 3: them that you know. If you have them in various combinations,
Speaker 3: you need much less sleep and you are absolutely fine.
Speaker 3: Their genes involved in metabolism, energy, and your circadian rhythms.
Speaker 1: First of all, it's odd that it's always round number
Speaker 1: six seventy nine as opposed to and a half. I
Speaker 1: think I'm a six and a half guy. I can
Speaker 1: get by in six quite easily. Seven is absolutely plenty,
Speaker 1: So I think six and a half is my sweet spot.
Speaker 1: So I might be a bit of a mutant myself
Speaker 1: that in my tail, right right, I've got to touch
Speaker 1: you keep well hidden. Most days I tuck it in
Speaker 1: my pants, right right.
Speaker 3: We could get into some of the biochemistry of this,
Speaker 3: but I don't think anybody remember it even if we
Speaker 3: comprehended it.
Speaker 1: My question is this, if you could genetically edit the
Speaker 1: embryo for your child, would you not choose? I don't know,
Speaker 1: they only need seven hours of sleep as opposed to nine.
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you do that?
Speaker 3: You know, I'd certainly spend an hour or two reading
Speaker 3: about it and making sure there's no downside.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, that seems to me like it. I
Speaker 1: actually damping in the ear. I think anytime you get
Speaker 1: into that kind of playing god, you're getting dangerous. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that might just be old timey thinking. Maybe there's
Speaker 1: absolutely no downside to choose. You know, this is just
Speaker 1: a genetic change where where you know one is better
Speaker 1: than the other period, and why wouldn't you want the better?
Speaker 3: As often in these things, well practically always, it has
Speaker 3: to do with various hormones you've never heard of excreted
Speaker 3: by your hypothalamus blah blah blah, and other ones. Some
Speaker 3: keep you awake, some promote sleep, and it's well again,
Speaker 3: the biochemistry. If we're starting to take too long, but
Speaker 3: really super interesting. You know, I'm thinking about your would
Speaker 3: you choose that for your child if you could? Old
Speaker 3: timey thinking when we hear more and more and more
Speaker 3: stories like I brought the other day about a little
Speaker 3: baby was born with a very rare genetic condition that
Speaker 3: the crisper technology is really helping, otherwise the kid would
Speaker 3: probably already be dead.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, beautiful little boy.
Speaker 3: And I think as we get more and more used
Speaker 3: to the non Franknstinian uses of this stuff, the acceptance
Speaker 3: of certainly you're really innocent, stuff like needing less, sleep well,
Speaker 3: and eventually, yes, we will be designing babies with six
Speaker 3: foot two, blonde hair, blue eyes, and super geniuses, et cetera.
Speaker 3: But by then, you know, the other things that we
Speaker 3: talk about all the time will have doomed the human race,
Speaker 3: so it's ultimately feudal.
Speaker 1: Back to you, speaking of which, have you seen the
Speaker 1: trailers for the new Frankenstein movie? I have not. I
Speaker 1: had no idea there was one. There is a new
Speaker 1: Frankenstein movie coming up, directed by Gia more del Toro.
Speaker 1: It was, you know, very famous in all respects. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and it looks pretty pretty cool. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's a darker take on Frankenstein which he kills puppies
Speaker 1: or something. I don't know, but or what, or just
Speaker 1: the latest modern but you know, with the modern CGI
Speaker 1: and everything like that, who knows. It could be great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the modern movie audience is not me and vice versa.
Speaker 3: On the other hand, if you were to do something
Speaker 3: completely non stylized, do this retelling in the Frankenstein story,
Speaker 3: almost like a documentary, I think that would be incredibly
Speaker 3: compelling and chilling and freaky, and you would never.
Speaker 1: Forget it, you know what I mean. You've always got
Speaker 1: to like really tart it up. And I've been meaning
Speaker 1: to talk about this. I gotta find a spot to
Speaker 1: talk about this, maybe in the One More Thing podcast.
Speaker 1: But there are certain like dumb things that happen in
Speaker 1: every movie I watch with my kids, and I just think,
Speaker 1: how dumb do you think we are? Just really is
Speaker 1: the audience is very very dumb?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 1: Is the audience as dumb as Hollywood thinks it isn't?
Speaker 1: I don't believe so. I hang around a lot of
Speaker 1: normal people. I'm a normal person. I don't think we're
Speaker 1: that dumb.
Speaker 3: Well, in response, I would offer Trump's just trying to
Speaker 3: keep those tax cuts going for millionaires and billionaires and
Speaker 3: giant corporations the expense of the middle class and working people.
Speaker 3: That's the Democrat parties view of the movie audience, which
Speaker 3: is also the voter.
Speaker 1: Yea, and they spend a hell of a lot of money.
Speaker 1: Figure in this stuff out. Yeah, my son wants to
Speaker 1: see the new Jurassic Park in the theater. There are
Speaker 1: some movies that are better in a theater than at home,
Speaker 1: no doubt. You know, if you're gonna watch you know,
Speaker 1: some mostly talking love interest story with a deep plot
Speaker 1: where they discuss philosophy. That's fine on your television, but
Speaker 1: you're gonna watch. I can't ever think of the name
Speaker 1: of the latest Marvel movie that I liked so much,
Speaker 1: The Untouchables, the Furtibles, whatever, the work comeback that wasn't
Speaker 1: comebacks anyway. But if you want to see a something
Speaker 1: like that, yes, Katie, but nothing Crustables. If you want
Speaker 1: to see the crustables. You want to see it in
Speaker 1: the theater, in the big screen. There's just something more
Speaker 1: impactful about it. Yeah, new Wes Anderson Anderson movie. Can't
Speaker 1: wait to see that.
Speaker 3: That's sort of seeing on the big screen too, because
Speaker 3: it's always so visual, visually striking his movies. If you
Speaker 3: haven't been in that sentence was terrible. I was looking
Speaker 3: at the clock and thinking you got to rush through that.
Speaker 1: It was a bad idea, folks. I apologize for my Sonce.
Speaker 1: If you haven't been to the theater a while, though,
Speaker 1: don't be surprised by the prices it's gonna get. You
Speaker 1: take someone with you. You're gonna spend sixty bucks easily
Speaker 1: eighty bucks.
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, so freaking you are. We smuggle our own
Speaker 3: snacks in.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, I'm just fan for the ticket. If you
Speaker 1: want to defraud an innkeeper and be part of the
Speaker 1: criminal element, then the Supreme Court decisions and some other
Speaker 1: things on the way.
Speaker 4: Armstrong yetie, if we don't have out of use for
Speaker 4: people to come here needally for when the bills are home.
Speaker 5: Here, I'm going right now, We're not anybody because we
Speaker 5: don't have enough people.
Speaker 1: Fill the jobs that we have right now.
Speaker 3: That is a representative Becca Ballant, a Democrat of Vermont,
Speaker 3: explaining why we need lots of immigration, essentially because we're
Speaker 3: not having babies and we're not, you know, growing as
Speaker 3: a country without immigration, and we're not gonna have anybody
Speaker 3: to wipe our hind ends when we are old.
Speaker 1: What did she say at the beginning? I couldn't quite
Speaker 1: understand it well. Was she saying you don't need to
Speaker 1: play it again because I won't be able to understand
Speaker 1: it again this time? She said, we won't have people
Speaker 1: to what wipe our heinees? That's what she said as yes, wow, okay, yes,
Speaker 1: that's what you uh A powerful argument in favor of
Speaker 1: opening the border. I can hire and illegal to do
Speaker 1: that for me. I'm not sure I want to. I
Speaker 1: feel like i'd feel vulnerable. What's the application process? Exactly?
Speaker 1: What position do I need to get into for this
Speaker 1: to happen? I think with the interview unfold, I think
Speaker 1: I'm gonna feel very vulnerable. Wow, okay, I am doing
Speaker 1: my Hey Katie, three days in a row now, I've
Speaker 1: done my planks ever since you explained how to do
Speaker 1: him and everything like that, so I'm a plank guy now,
Speaker 1: oh good, yeah, yeah, So I'll see if I get
Speaker 1: any benefits out of it. I don't know, this is
Speaker 1: as your core feeling. I don't know. Thirty two different
Speaker 1: muscle groups worked with a plank, so that's a lot
Speaker 1: of muscle groups.
Speaker 3: That's I heard that on the podcast. That's fascinating. I
Speaker 3: need to get back to it myself.
Speaker 1: I'd never done it before. I'll see if it does
Speaker 1: me any good, or if I feel like it does
Speaker 1: meaning good. So this story, maybe you've heard it or not.
Speaker 1: Trump is attacking Biden and Republicans are attacking Biden for
Speaker 1: a you know, did you know that you signed all
Speaker 1: this stuff? You used the auto pen, which is perfectly
Speaker 1: fine to use the autopen. Presidents since they invented it
Speaker 1: have been using the auto pen sometimes. But it's it
Speaker 1: is a different story that that doesn't that's not that
Speaker 1: is a that is not a there's nothing to see
Speaker 1: here revelation that other presidents have used the autopen. When
Speaker 1: you're wandering around with your mouth agape and you don't
Speaker 1: know where you are and you're using the autopanel lot
Speaker 1: people wonder. Okay, So Joe Biden actually sent a statement
Speaker 1: to Politico yesterday, to Politico that said, let me be clear,
Speaker 1: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the
Speaker 1: decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any
Speaker 1: suggestion that I didn't is ridiculous and false. This is
Speaker 1: nothing more than a distraction by Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans.
Speaker 1: We're working to push disastrous legislation that would cut essential
Speaker 1: programs like Medicaid and raise costs on American families, all
Speaker 1: to pay for tax breaks for the ultra wealthy and
Speaker 1: big corporations, that last part being a one hundred percent lie.
Speaker 1: And there's lots of places you can go to for
Speaker 1: analysis of the twenty seventeen tax cut and who it
Speaker 1: benefited and who it didn't. Question, Sorry, did you say
Speaker 1: the easter bunny wrote that statement? Well, right, question number one?
Speaker 1: Did Biden write that or not? Of course, not the
Speaker 1: statement claiming he made the statement. But anyway, I thought
Speaker 1: Mark Halpern's summary of this was pretty good. Mark Alpern
Speaker 1: and his newsletter today said amazing that after all we
Speaker 1: have learned about Biden, how his presidency operated, that the
Speaker 1: media is still in there. There is no evidence for
Speaker 1: Trump's baseless accusations mode, instead of just reprinting what the
Speaker 1: president says with like no. On the other hand, sources right,
Speaker 1: there's a book out making it clear that five people
Speaker 1: were running the White House. Didn't throw any of that in.
Speaker 1: You just take the statement, the press release from the
Speaker 1: former president and print it and on you go. That
Speaker 1: is amazing. Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 3: Slight variation on the Republican's pounce technique.
Speaker 1: But you realize one of the most famous left leaning
Speaker 1: journalists in America, Jake Tapper, is doing a two hour
Speaker 1: podcast every day explaining how Joe Biden's brain didn't work
Speaker 1: and other people were running the White House. He can't
Speaker 1: ignore that, Politico. Apparently he can. Apparently you can just look.
Speaker 3: Just watch Supreme Court with a couple of big rulings,
Speaker 3: one much bigger than the other. Front plus our four
Speaker 3: can't wait to get to this. Science has figured out
Speaker 3: how to fall in love?
Speaker 1: Oh wow, to fall in love? You want to be
Speaker 1: in love, We'll tell you how. Wow. Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5: They're the absolute worst group of people we've got in
Speaker 5: our country, and it's not even close. I think we'd
Speaker 5: all be better off with them going. But as I
Speaker 5: was saying, my administration and I have been taking careful
Speaker 5: note of the work of Colossal Labs, the biotech company
Speaker 5: that resurrected the dire Wolf. If they can bring back wolves,
Speaker 5: they can bring back dinosaurs.
Speaker 1: Terrible lizard.
Speaker 5: That's what dinosaur means if you break it down. But
Speaker 5: picture this, folks, velociraptor mounted border patrol agents. They'll rip
Speaker 5: your head clear off. Pterodactyls patrolling the skies, velociraptors on
Speaker 5: the ground. To prevent the immigration apocalypse, we may have
Speaker 5: to counter with a dino apocalypse.
Speaker 1: Folks.
Speaker 5: It's true.
Speaker 1: I'm glad, Handsome new Glad you said, don't tell people
Speaker 1: it's AI before we played, because it was much better
Speaker 1: that way. Wow. That cause that if we didn't come
Speaker 1: on and say it was AI, lots of people would say,
Speaker 1: holy crap, did you hear the crazy s?
Speaker 3: Trump said today? Oh, surely they would have figured it out.
Speaker 3: There's video too. You can see it at Armstrong and
Speaker 3: Getdy dot com at Katie's Corner.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are a couple of new AI things out that.
Speaker 3: I mean, as if you needed this. It's over, folks,
Speaker 3: it's over.
Speaker 1: The ability to discern reality from creation in video and
Speaker 1: audio and all. Oh I saw where they edited. No,
Speaker 1: it's over, it's all. Everything's over soon. See that two
Speaker 1: years or twenty years, I'm not sure, but it'll all
Speaker 1: be over soon. So that's why I'm doing all my planks.
Speaker 1: So my core is right here. Yeah, you gotta be ready.
Speaker 1: You gotta have a good core for the apocalypse. No, dobactly.
Speaker 3: You know, as long as we're talking about that sort
Speaker 3: of thing, why don't we do the and again, the
Speaker 3: video element of this is pretty good too, and we'll
Speaker 3: have it at Armstrong You getty dot Calm. This is
Speaker 3: the Excelipt Michael Levin Man on the Street interviews from
Speaker 3: the fifteen hundreds.
Speaker 1: What's lifel like for you right now?
Speaker 5: Woke up, stepped in, done, got taxed, and that was
Speaker 5: before breakfast.
Speaker 1: Do you enjoy your work?
Speaker 3: Ah?
Speaker 1: Eh, it's honest work and no one talks back. What
Speaker 1: do you think of King Henry?
Speaker 5: Oh, well, he's very committed to.
Speaker 1: Marrying. How's the health situation looking? Well?
Speaker 4: Everyone I saw yesterday is dead today.
Speaker 1: How do you respond to the witch accusations? If I
Speaker 1: were a witch, you'd already be a.
Speaker 4: Frog what's the biggest challenge for a noble woman these days?
Speaker 4: Three hours to get dressed and still no pockets, flower shortage,
Speaker 4: the oven is cursed and rats, lots of rats.
Speaker 1: What's life like for a farmer right now? Hard work,
Speaker 1: saw back, but the soil is good this year. Might
Speaker 1: even eat something with meat next week. Wow. That's yeah,
Speaker 1: and all completely convincing mls from the year fifteen hundred.
Speaker 3: Yeah, amazing, amazing man on that road. Meanwhile, back in
Speaker 3: the present, this is.
Speaker 1: Huge. In fact, it is so.
Speaker 3: Devastatingly huge, I think most people will miss the hugeness
Speaker 3: of it. The Supreme Court rejected an appeals court requirement
Speaker 3: that members of a majority group meet a heightened standard
Speaker 3: to win employment discrimination cases. I will give you the
Speaker 3: particulars of the case and the facts. This is a
Speaker 3: unanimous ruling.
Speaker 1: Wow, I didn't know that.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 3: The Supreme Court reunanimously ruled in favor of a straight
Speaker 3: woman who twice lost positions to gay workers, saying an
Speaker 3: appeals court had been wrong to require her to meet
Speaker 3: a heightened burden and seeking to prove workplace discrimination because
Speaker 3: she was a member of a majority group. I've got
Speaker 3: to admit to more than mild surprise that this is unanimous.
Speaker 3: I thought at least Katanji Brown Jackson was down with
Speaker 3: the whole woke a victim oppresser Parana.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awesome. I would like to know about the
Speaker 1: wrangling behind the scenes. You know, back in the day,
Speaker 1: the civil rights legislation was often nine zero, and they
Speaker 1: work really hard to come up with something they could
Speaker 1: all sign on to because it was so important. They
Speaker 1: felt that they needed a unified front, so there couldn't
Speaker 1: be any claims of well, it's just because he was
Speaker 1: appointed by whoever, whatever, And I wonder if any of
Speaker 1: that went on here. But again, I'm surprised that some
Speaker 1: of the justice agree that having a different standard because
Speaker 1: you're in the majority white man whatever is ridiculous discriminations
Speaker 1: and discrimination period and you can't fix the past discrimination
Speaker 1: with present discrimination.
Speaker 3: Obviously speaking KBJ telling quote from her stay.
Speaker 1: Tuned for like ten seconds.
Speaker 3: The decision came two years after the Supreme Court struck
Speaker 3: down race conscious admissions programs in higher education and admit
Speaker 3: the Trumpet administration's fierce efforts excuse me to root out
Speaker 3: programs that promote diversity, Oh my god, yeah, and could
Speaker 3: make it easier for white people, men, and other members
Speaker 3: of majority groups to pursue claims of employment discrimination. The
Speaker 3: New York Times, obviously as usual, weighing in with a
Speaker 3: little editorial in the midst of their reporting facts the
Speaker 3: standards for proving workplace discrimination under federal civil rights law.
Speaker 3: Just as Katanji Brown Jackson wrote for the Court, quote
Speaker 3: does not vary based on whether or not the plaintiff
Speaker 3: is a member of a majority group.
Speaker 1: Wow, or it doesn't wow, wow, I have renewed respect
Speaker 1: for her, or in heightened respect, I guess it would
Speaker 1: be me be fair. But that is something they're so
Speaker 1: clearly right, all nine of them. This is you're right.
Speaker 1: This is huge, This is absolutely huge. And how many
Speaker 1: times have you heard we've played clips over the years.
Speaker 1: You can't discriminate against a white person, Oh sure, Or.
Speaker 3: There's the only it's not racism of a black person
Speaker 3: hates white person, or hates an Asian person or a
Speaker 3: Chinese person hates a No, it can only be racism
Speaker 3: if it is the majority group, the power group, having
Speaker 3: prejudiced against the less powerful group. Literally, Ibramex Kendy would
Speaker 3: tell you, no, there's no such thing as black racism,
Speaker 3: it can't exist.
Speaker 1: Read that quote again from the most woke leaning member
Speaker 1: of the nine justices.
Speaker 3: Standards for proving workplace discrimination under federal civil rights law.
Speaker 3: Quote does not vary based on whether or not the
Speaker 3: plaintiff is a member of a majority group. This is
Speaker 3: the liberals of the Supreme Court standing up for well
Speaker 3: classical liberalism. Yeah, the idea that no no discrimination, bigotry
Speaker 3: is wrong, no matter in what direction it's going.
Speaker 1: We are not repeat not down with the woke crowd. Boy,
Speaker 1: the tentacles or ripples on the pond, or whatever you
Speaker 1: want to use of this one could be huge.
Speaker 3: The perspective we're trying to give will not be repeated
Speaker 3: in the bigfoot media, and that is a shame because
Speaker 3: it's so important.
Speaker 1: But the perspective is.
Speaker 3: The whole woke paradigm, the whole neo Marxist victim oppressor,
Speaker 3: white supremacist thing is held by such a small group
Speaker 3: of people, such a small, angry, adamant, activist, radical group
Speaker 3: of people. It's it's had an outsized shadow on the
Speaker 3: American conversation for way too long, particularly in the wake
Speaker 3: of the George Floyd mayhem. It is literally well figuratively, sorry,
Speaker 3: a shadow cast that is so much larger than the
Speaker 3: reality of the support for those ideas. And the Supreme
Speaker 3: Court has just said, look, even our most liberal members
Speaker 3: understand you cannot run a society based on the principles.

Speaker 3: which two appeals courts had ruled in the other, Direction,
Speaker 3: wow you know we could go off on a tangent
Speaker 3: there no.
Speaker 1: Kidding what does that mean when other courts ruled the
Speaker 1: other direction and The Supreme court says nine to, nothing you,
Speaker 1: guys women are, wrong.
Speaker 3: Including KJB Kbjuh Judge. Katanji, yeah that is a rather stunning.
Speaker 3: Indictment he uses mixing legal terms of our appeals courts
Speaker 3: certainly some of them. Anyway the case was originally brought
Speaker 3: By Marlene, ames who had worked for The Ohio department
Speaker 3: Of Youth services overseas juvenile, corrections among other. Things after
Speaker 3: a decade, there she became the administrative of a program
Speaker 3: addressing prison. Rape five years, later she applied for a.
Speaker 3: Promotion her supervisors turned her, down saying she lacked vision
Speaker 3: and leadership. Skills they eventually gave the position to a
Speaker 3: gay woman who had been at the department for a shorter, time,
Speaker 3: and unlike Mss, aims lacked a college degree that doesn't prove.
Speaker 3: Anything not long after denying her the new, position or
Speaker 3: supervisors removed her from her existing, job telling her that
Speaker 3: they had concerns about her leadership and offering her a
Speaker 3: demotion that came with a substantial pay. Cut she was
Speaker 3: replaced by a gay man with less, seniority and she
Speaker 3: sued under the federal civil rights rights law that forbids employment,
Speaker 3: discrimination among other, things on. Sex the text of the
Speaker 3: law does not draw distinctions based on whether the person
Speaker 3: claiming discrimination is a member.
Speaker 1: Of a majority. Group of, course it, doesn't.
Speaker 3: But some courts have required plaintiffs from majority groups to
Speaker 3: prove additional elements if they lack direct evidence of discrimination
Speaker 3: background circumstances that support the suspicion that the defendman is
Speaker 3: that unusual employer who discriminates against the. Majority, OH i
Speaker 3: see why that's a convoluted. Sentence anyway you need addition.
Speaker 3: Evidence lower courts ruled against Mss ames on those. GROUNDS
Speaker 3: Us court Of appeals for The Six circuits In cincinnati
Speaker 3: said she could have satisfied the background circumstances requirement by
Speaker 3: showing the decisions about her employment were made by a
Speaker 3: member of a. Relative blah, blah blah. Blah they get
Speaker 3: way into the. Weeds does this have any effect going
Speaker 3: the other?
Speaker 1: Direction in THAT i know corporations sometimes are really scared
Speaker 1: to fire A let's use an extreme, example black female gay.
Speaker 1: WOMAN i don't need to say female and a woman
Speaker 1: a black gay, woman because it's so easy to say
Speaker 1: it was BECAUSE i was these. Things what does it
Speaker 1: have any effect go in that? DIRECTION i wonder you,
Speaker 1: know that's an interesting.
Speaker 3: POINT i think one of the unfortunate side effects of
Speaker 3: this might, be now that you pointed out quite, aptly well,
Speaker 3: Done jack Thinks i'm working on my Core if this
Speaker 3: if this makes it easier in general to bring discrimination.
Speaker 1: Lawsuits i'm not sure or we're gonna love where that ends. Up,
Speaker 1: yeah and that may.
Speaker 3: Be this could, be AND i hate to admit, This
Speaker 3: this could be one of those cases where constitutional scholars
Speaker 3: are are shouting at the mainstream. Media you people are
Speaker 3: morons who don't understand us at. All then they shout at,
Speaker 3: us you guys are are are missing part of the.
Speaker 3: Point you're gonna see discrimination lawsuits run wild.
Speaker 1: Now although well, no, no, no no.
Speaker 3: No because that heightened level of scrutiny required was only
Speaker 3: required of people in majority, groups, Right and so what
Speaker 3: the nine nothing justice majority said is, no, no it's
Speaker 3: the same for, everybody and you can't be against. That
Speaker 3: if we have to work through some interesting ripple, effects,
Speaker 3: fine but you gotta be in.
