WEBVTT - Wipe Our Hineys 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.720 Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:17.239 and Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:25.800 I'm a Chinese scientists entered the United States in July 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:29.440 with a poisonous fungus stash in his backpack. His destination 0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:32.480 a laboratory at the University of Michigan, where he would 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:36.360 rendezvous with his girlfriend. Here's a conversation between the suspects 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.920 on a chat about the attempts to sneak the deadly 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:43.000 pathogen into the United States, teaching yang seeds must be 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:45.840 placed well, where to put it? I only have one 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:48.800 pair of shoes. The insole cannot be pulled off. Did 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.800 you bring just one pair of shoes? Three pair? Wear 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:55.160 one pair? Where did the seeds get put in the tube? 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.000 I put them in my Martin boots in a small bag, 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.480 the ziploc bag, very small. That's good. Just put it 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.480 in your shoes. I stuffed them in the shoes. 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.039 That was the man and his girlfriend who claimed he 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.000 didn't know anything about the fungus, and then she said 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:11.800 I didn't ask him to bring it in. And then 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.480 they found the text messages which made it clear that 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.240 they knew they were doing something they shouldn't do, and 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:18.440 they were working together. That's why they have been arrested. 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.960 Chinese agent is trying to smuggle in a dangerous pathogen 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:25.759 to poison our crops. Although, as we mentioned a couple 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:28.280 hours ago, Greg from Sunnyvale with this note, come on, 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.760 you racists, you're perpetuating the increase in violent attacks on 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:35.080 Asian Americans. The fungus is just a discoloration of the 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.320 toenails of the pangle. And then was eating a bat 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.760 at the wet market. But we should probably ask doctor 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:40.720 Fauci to be sure. 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:47.480 Ooh, Supreme Court is releasing judgments. Got a couple of 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.280 headlines for you. Maybe we'll do a deep dive on 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:51.600 them a little bit later. One breaking news, the Supreme 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:56.200 Court unanimously blocked the Mexican government from proceeding with an 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:59.920 unusual lawsuit, says the Washington Post, that sought to hold 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:05.360 the major US firearms manufacturers accountable for gun violence in Mexico. Well, 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.320 always seemed stupid. I can't believe it had to go 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:09.079 all the way to Supreme Court. But anyway, that ain't 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.960 gonna happen. This one is interesting, though. The Supreme Court 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:16.120 rules for a straight woman in a job discrimination suit. 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:20.800 The justices rejected an appeals court's requirement that members of 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:26.200 majority groups meet a heightened standard to win employment discrimination cases. 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.600 If you're a dude or white, you have to have 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:34.000 some serious reasons for while you're a discriminated against prior. 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.360 Now it's just if you're discriminated to discriminate, it doesn't matter. 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:44.519 This is another loud and unequivocal statement that racial discrimination, bigotry, 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:48.120 whatever is bigotry, you can't it doesn't matter who's on 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.119 the receiving end. We won't have it. 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.440 I was about to say this, but I think John 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:56.720 Roberts actually said this recently. You can't fight discrimination with discrimination, 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:02.280 right and again the crap. Well, no, that's not true 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.560 because the dominant group and the heteropatriarchy blubb. No, we 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.679 don't let you discriminate based on sexual orientation or race. 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.919 In the United States. We don't do it. It's illegal. Well, 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:15.200 but the oppressor group, no, cut the crap. I think 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.920 the simple principle stick to it. I think closer to 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:21.279 his actual quote was you can't fix discrimination with discrimination, 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:22.040 which is right. 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:26.480 You think obviously true. Amen, well done, soups, well done. 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.800 One more thought before I get into really interesting stuff 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:35.360 about sleep, just had to mention this. Have you seen 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.720 Corey Booker giving the Nazi salute? 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:39.120 Yeah? 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:43.640 I have actually side by side with Elon Musk's quote 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.520 unquote Nazi salute there at the it was the inauguration 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:51.280 speech or the convention, whatever it was, when a big 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:52.000 deal was made of that. 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:53.120 I mean side by side. 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:56.520 It's like the famous Marx Brothers bit from Duck Soup, 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.680 where Groucho and Harpo are mirror images of each other. 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:04.560 It is precisely the same blanking gesture. 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:08.600 Here's a list. Cory Booker, who is a Democratic senator. 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.920 Yes, from New Jersey, the Spartacus speech, Google it, chet 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.680 gpt it. Anyway, here is a list of the news 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:20.240 networks who have not covered Cory Booker's Nazi salute. The 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:27.760 New York Times, CNN, Washington Post, MSNBC, NPR, USA Today, Reuter's, Axios, 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:29.000 and ABC News. 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.320 Why would I list them? Every single one of them 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:39.159 wrote stories on Elon Musk's Nazi salute. I know a family, 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:44.799 actually know a family, husband, wife, and child. Tipping point 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.800 for them leaving the country. They're actually leaving the country, 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.479 not kidding. Was Elon's Nazi salute? And if you don't 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.760 think it was a Nazi salute, you are blind. Obviously 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.880 it was a Nazi salute. Yeah, how did I don't 0:04:57.920 --> 0:04:59.360 even know. I don't know. I don't know how to 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.240 explain that these are two smart people too. 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.880 Yeah, Well, as I say all the time, intelligence and 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.640 wisdom are unconnected or not. 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:10.760 That's from boxtremely try. 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:14.720 Yes, yes, that was That was the title of Corey 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.279 worker speech, as I understand it. So, this is so interesting, 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:19.800 and I think it applies to all. I think it 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:21.680 applies to all. Of course, it applies to all of us. 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:28.760 The genetic components of sleep. Without eight or nine hours 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.720 of sleep, most of us would stagger around like zombies. 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:33.080 Well six to eight tonight and whatever. 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.359 But according to a new study, some people have a 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.919 genetic mutation that makes them feel perfectly terrific after sleeping 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:41.600 only about half as much. 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.520 Well you kind of YadA YadA, six to nine. I 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.840 mean six is way different than nine. That gives you 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:52.039 an extra three hours a day of productivity or leap 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:56.080 or whatever you want to do. Sure sleeping, and this 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:57.320 is so important. 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.400 Sleeping gives the body a chance to detox and clear 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.920 out the junk from your brain. And I've also heard 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:09.040 it described by neuroscientists as when you do your filing 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:13.640 and when you do your combining of ideas and finding 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:15.080 the patterns and that sort of thing. 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:16.960 A lot of that stuff happens while you're asleep. 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:19.840 Anyway, Well, the human body typically takes about eight or 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:21.960 nine hours to do this. Having what's called the short 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.520 sleep mutation makes its possible within just three to six hours. 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:29.719 There's this neuroscientist who researches gene mutations relaid to sleep. 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.839 He's now discovered in another mutation that contributes to natural 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:36.240 short sleep. They call it NSS and his field adding 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.880 to the five already known mutations that she and her 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:42.560 team previously discovered. So there are half a dozen of 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:46.039 them that you know. If you have them in various combinations, 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.640 you need much less sleep and you are absolutely fine. 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:54.520 Their genes involved in metabolism, energy, and your circadian rhythms. 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.640 First of all, it's odd that it's always round number 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.000 six seventy nine as opposed to and a half. I 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:04.360 think I'm a six and a half guy. I can 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.640 get by in six quite easily. Seven is absolutely plenty, 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:09.160 So I think six and a half is my sweet spot. 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:10.800 So I might be a bit of a mutant myself 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:15.080 that in my tail, right right, I've got to touch 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.400 you keep well hidden. Most days I tuck it in 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.440 my pants, right right. 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.080 We could get into some of the biochemistry of this, 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.040 but I don't think anybody remember it even if we 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:24.880 comprehended it. 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.520 My question is this, if you could genetically edit the 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:34.160 embryo for your child, would you not choose? I don't know, 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.680 they only need seven hours of sleep as opposed to nine. 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:38.840 Why wouldn't you do that? 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.120 You know, I'd certainly spend an hour or two reading 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.440 about it and making sure there's no downside. 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:45.760 But yeah, yeah, that seems to me like it. I 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.920 actually damping in the ear. I think anytime you get 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:53.080 into that kind of playing god, you're getting dangerous. Yeah, 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.160 but that might just be old timey thinking. Maybe there's 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.760 absolutely no downside to choose. You know, this is just 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:01.880 a genetic change where where you know one is better 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.160 than the other period, and why wouldn't you want the better? 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.160 As often in these things, well practically always, it has 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.760 to do with various hormones you've never heard of excreted 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.960 by your hypothalamus blah blah blah, and other ones. Some 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:26.160 keep you awake, some promote sleep, and it's well again, 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.760 the biochemistry. If we're starting to take too long, but 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.520 really super interesting. You know, I'm thinking about your would 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.120 you choose that for your child if you could? Old 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:39.200 timey thinking when we hear more and more and more 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:43.559 stories like I brought the other day about a little 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:45.800 baby was born with a very rare genetic condition that 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:49.960 the crisper technology is really helping, otherwise the kid would 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:51.360 probably already be dead. 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.600 Oh wow, yeah, beautiful little boy. 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:57.160 And I think as we get more and more used 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:03.400 to the non Franknstinian uses of this stuff, the acceptance 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:08.880 of certainly you're really innocent, stuff like needing less, sleep well, 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:12.800 and eventually, yes, we will be designing babies with six 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.880 foot two, blonde hair, blue eyes, and super geniuses, et cetera. 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.520 But by then, you know, the other things that we 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.520 talk about all the time will have doomed the human race, 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.760 so it's ultimately feudal. 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.040 Back to you, speaking of which, have you seen the 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.560 trailers for the new Frankenstein movie? I have not. I 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:30.360 had no idea there was one. There is a new 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:34.600 Frankenstein movie coming up, directed by Gia more del Toro. 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.719 It was, you know, very famous in all respects. Oh yeah, 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.080 and it looks pretty pretty cool. I don't know if 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.679 it's a darker take on Frankenstein which he kills puppies 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:48.560 or something. I don't know, but or what, or just 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:50.760 the latest modern but you know, with the modern CGI 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:52.280 and everything like that, who knows. It could be great. 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.760 Yeah, the modern movie audience is not me and vice versa. 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.600 On the other hand, if you were to do something 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:07.520 completely non stylized, do this retelling in the Frankenstein story, 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:11.240 almost like a documentary, I think that would be incredibly 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.840 compelling and chilling and freaky, and you would never. 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.679 Forget it, you know what I mean. You've always got 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:20.320 to like really tart it up. And I've been meaning 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.040 to talk about this. I gotta find a spot to 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:23.920 talk about this, maybe in the One More Thing podcast. 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.520 But there are certain like dumb things that happen in 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:29.800 every movie I watch with my kids, and I just think, 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.760 how dumb do you think we are? Just really is 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:34.480 the audience is very very dumb? 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:34.960 Is it? 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.640 Is the audience as dumb as Hollywood thinks it isn't? 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.640 I don't believe so. I hang around a lot of 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.000 normal people. I'm a normal person. I don't think we're 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:43.720 that dumb. 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:50.280 Well, in response, I would offer Trump's just trying to 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:54.560 keep those tax cuts going for millionaires and billionaires and 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:58.680 giant corporations the expense of the middle class and working people. 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:02.920 That's the Democrat parties view of the movie audience, which 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:04.320 is also the voter. 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.000 Yea, and they spend a hell of a lot of money. 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.800 Figure in this stuff out. Yeah, my son wants to 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.040 see the new Jurassic Park in the theater. There are 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.200 some movies that are better in a theater than at home, 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:17.240 no doubt. You know, if you're gonna watch you know, 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:21.559 some mostly talking love interest story with a deep plot 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.400 where they discuss philosophy. That's fine on your television, but 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:30.040 you're gonna watch. I can't ever think of the name 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.160 of the latest Marvel movie that I liked so much, 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:37.960 The Untouchables, the Furtibles, whatever, the work comeback that wasn't 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:39.839 comebacks anyway. But if you want to see a something 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:45.080 like that, yes, Katie, but nothing Crustables. If you want 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.280 to see the crustables. You want to see it in 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:48.800 the theater, in the big screen. There's just something more 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:52.520 impactful about it. Yeah, new Wes Anderson Anderson movie. Can't 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:53.120 wait to see that. 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.000 That's sort of seeing on the big screen too, because 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:58.280 it's always so visual, visually striking his movies. If you 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:01.280 haven't been in that sentence was terrible. I was looking 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:03.280 at the clock and thinking you got to rush through that. 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.559 It was a bad idea, folks. I apologize for my Sonce. 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:07.280 If you haven't been to the theater a while, though, 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:09.839 don't be surprised by the prices it's gonna get. You 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:13.439 take someone with you. You're gonna spend sixty bucks easily 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:13.960 eighty bucks. 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:18.839 Oh absolutely, so freaking you are. We smuggle our own 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:19.439 snacks in. 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.240 Well, okay, I'm just fan for the ticket. If you 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.840 want to defraud an innkeeper and be part of the 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:30.480 criminal element, then the Supreme Court decisions and some other 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:31.120 things on the way. 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:38.160 Armstrong yetie, if we don't have out of use for 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.679 people to come here needally for when the bills are home. 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:47.360 Here, I'm going right now, We're not anybody because we 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.120 don't have enough people. 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.320 Fill the jobs that we have right now. 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.600 That is a representative Becca Ballant, a Democrat of Vermont, 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:03.160 explaining why we need lots of immigration, essentially because we're 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:07.240 not having babies and we're not, you know, growing as 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:10.040 a country without immigration, and we're not gonna have anybody 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.400 to wipe our hind ends when we are old. 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.240 What did she say at the beginning? I couldn't quite 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:16.720 understand it well. Was she saying you don't need to 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:18.200 play it again because I won't be able to understand 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:20.400 it again this time? She said, we won't have people 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:27.240 to what wipe our heinees? That's what she said as yes, wow, okay, yes, 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:32.080 that's what you uh A powerful argument in favor of 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.120 opening the border. I can hire and illegal to do 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.560 that for me. I'm not sure I want to. I 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:41.280 feel like i'd feel vulnerable. What's the application process? Exactly? 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.200 What position do I need to get into for this 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.760 to happen? I think with the interview unfold, I think 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:55.320 I'm gonna feel very vulnerable. Wow, okay, I am doing 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.880 my Hey Katie, three days in a row now, I've 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.679 done my planks ever since you explained how to do 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:03.800 him and everything like that, so I'm a plank guy now, 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.719 oh good, yeah, yeah, So I'll see if I get 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.360 any benefits out of it. I don't know, this is 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.760 as your core feeling. I don't know. Thirty two different 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:12.800 muscle groups worked with a plank, so that's a lot 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:13.679 of muscle groups. 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:17.079 That's I heard that on the podcast. That's fascinating. I 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:18.640 need to get back to it myself. 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:20.240 I'd never done it before. I'll see if it does 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:21.400 me any good, or if I feel like it does 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:28.720 meaning good. So this story, maybe you've heard it or not. 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:33.240 Trump is attacking Biden and Republicans are attacking Biden for 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.760 a you know, did you know that you signed all 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.160 this stuff? You used the auto pen, which is perfectly 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:42.840 fine to use the autopen. Presidents since they invented it 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.560 have been using the auto pen sometimes. But it's it 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:51.280 is a different story that that doesn't that's not that 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.480 is a that is not a there's nothing to see 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.720 here revelation that other presidents have used the autopen. When 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.360 you're wandering around with your mouth agape and you don't 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:01.640 know where you are and you're using the autopanel lot 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:06.520 people wonder. Okay, So Joe Biden actually sent a statement 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:11.480 to Politico yesterday, to Politico that said, let me be clear, 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:13.920 I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:17.800 decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:21.240 suggestion that I didn't is ridiculous and false. This is 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.720 nothing more than a distraction by Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans. 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:28.400 We're working to push disastrous legislation that would cut essential 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:32.080 programs like Medicaid and raise costs on American families, all 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.440 to pay for tax breaks for the ultra wealthy and 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:40.000 big corporations, that last part being a one hundred percent lie. 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.200 And there's lots of places you can go to for 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:45.360 analysis of the twenty seventeen tax cut and who it 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:47.880 benefited and who it didn't. Question, Sorry, did you say 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.600 the easter bunny wrote that statement? Well, right, question number one? 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:52.720 Did Biden write that or not? Of course, not the 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:55.120 statement claiming he made the statement. But anyway, I thought 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.520 Mark Halpern's summary of this was pretty good. Mark Alpern 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:01.280 and his newsletter today said amazing that after all we 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:04.600 have learned about Biden, how his presidency operated, that the 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:07.480 media is still in there. There is no evidence for 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:12.640 Trump's baseless accusations mode, instead of just reprinting what the 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:19.760 president says with like no. On the other hand, sources right, 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.440 there's a book out making it clear that five people 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:25.120 were running the White House. Didn't throw any of that in. 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.120 You just take the statement, the press release from the 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:30.880 former president and print it and on you go. That 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:32.600 is amazing. Yeah, it's a. 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.600 Slight variation on the Republican's pounce technique. 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:38.560 But you realize one of the most famous left leaning 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.720 journalists in America, Jake Tapper, is doing a two hour 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:45.600 podcast every day explaining how Joe Biden's brain didn't work 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:47.920 and other people were running the White House. He can't 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:53.920 ignore that, Politico. Apparently he can. Apparently you can just look. 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.280 Just watch Supreme Court with a couple of big rulings, 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:02.680 one much bigger than the other. Front plus our four 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.080 can't wait to get to this. Science has figured out 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:06.520 how to fall in love? 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:08.679 Oh wow, to fall in love? You want to be 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:14.440 in love, We'll tell you how. Wow. Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:18.000 They're the absolute worst group of people we've got in 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:21.040 our country, and it's not even close. I think we'd 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.159 all be better off with them going. But as I 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:27.800 was saying, my administration and I have been taking careful 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:31.280 note of the work of Colossal Labs, the biotech company 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:35.040 that resurrected the dire Wolf. If they can bring back wolves, 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:36.439 they can bring back dinosaurs. 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:37.480 Terrible lizard. 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:40.159 That's what dinosaur means if you break it down. But 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:46.080 picture this, folks, velociraptor mounted border patrol agents. They'll rip 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:50.520 your head clear off. Pterodactyls patrolling the skies, velociraptors on 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.919 the ground. To prevent the immigration apocalypse, we may have 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:55.720 to counter with a dino apocalypse. 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:56.000 Folks. 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:56.720 It's true. 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:01.639 I'm glad, Handsome new Glad you said, don't tell people 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:03.960 it's AI before we played, because it was much better 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:09.360 that way. Wow. That cause that if we didn't come 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.320 on and say it was AI, lots of people would say, 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:15.280 holy crap, did you hear the crazy s? 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:18.360 Trump said today? Oh, surely they would have figured it out. 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:20.320 There's video too. You can see it at Armstrong and 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:22.120 Getdy dot com at Katie's Corner. 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:22.920 Wow. 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:27.400 Yeah, there are a couple of new AI things out that. 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.560 I mean, as if you needed this.

Meanwhile, back in 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:32.480 the present, this is. 0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:35.600 Huge. In fact, it is so. 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:40.840 Devastatingly huge, I think most people will miss the hugeness 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:46.320 of it. The Supreme Court rejected an appeals court requirement 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:51.040 that members of a majority group meet a heightened standard 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:55.800 to win employment discrimination cases. I will give you the 0:20:55.840 --> 0:21:01.760 particulars of the case and the facts. This is a 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:03.640 unanimous ruling. 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:05.920 Wow, I didn't know that. 0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:06.760 Yes. 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:11.160 The Supreme Court reunanimously ruled in favor of a straight 0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:14.520 woman who twice lost positions to gay workers, saying an 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:17.640 appeals court had been wrong to require her to meet 0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:21.359 a heightened burden and seeking to prove workplace discrimination because 0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:24.320 she was a member of a majority group. I've got 0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:27.080 to admit to more than mild surprise that this is unanimous. 0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:30.199 I thought at least Katanji Brown Jackson was down with 0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:33.479 the whole woke a victim oppresser Parana. 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:35.560 Yeah, that's awesome. I would like to know about the 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:37.399 wrangling behind the scenes. You know, back in the day, 0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:41.040 the civil rights legislation was often nine zero, and they 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:44.480 work really hard to come up with something they could 0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:47.360 all sign on to because it was so important. They 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:50.919 felt that they needed a unified front, so there couldn't 0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:52.920 be any claims of well, it's just because he was 0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:56.199
