7
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,479

Speaker 4: ten thirty to noon and then like two to three thirty.

9
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 5: Yes, like critic criticize the French culture as being lazy.

10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 5: It's funny and accurate.

11
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 3: True enough.

12
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 6: Oh, speaking of foreign cultures, Jack, here's your headline of

13
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 6: the day. China is testing restroom machines that make you

14
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 6: watch ads in exchange for toilet paper.

15
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Yeah, oh my god. You want to

16
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 3: tidy up, you gotta watch his ad first. Yeah, you

17
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 3: need more. Well, here's another ad. Oh thirty seconds. China.

18
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 6: You thought communism was bad, Now they're I'm inflicting this

19
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 6: on us.

20
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: Wow.

21
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 5: Now that is I remember from like the only economics

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 5: class I've ever had in my life, one that I

23
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 5: took in college where you learned about elastic and inelastic products.

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 5: Toilet paper is inelastic.

25
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, you will pay what you need to pay.

26
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 3: I will sit through every many ads. I gotta sit through. Wow,

27
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 3: damn commies.

28
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 5: So speaking of France, I wonder we were talking about

29
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 5: this poll which I'm about to repeat, and a number

30
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 5: of people who are extremely proud to be American? What

31
00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 5: is the poll in other countries? Your average Frenchman? Are

32
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 5: they call him Jacques? Are they proud to be French

33
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 5: or Brita or Spanish or Chinese or pick a country.

34
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 5: I would love to know that.

35
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 3: I don't have it. I don't really don't. I don't

36
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 3: really have a guess.

37
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 6: Well, and let's pull French French people and then immigrants

38
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 6: and ask them the same people the same question.

39
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 5: Gallup's been asking this question for a quarter of a century, now,

40
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 5: how proud are you to be an American? And they

41
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 5: only are putting in this graph extremely proud or very proud.

42
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 3: It's the only.

43
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 5: Group you really needed to include when they started doing

44
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,279
Speaker 5: the graph, because everybody was at like ninety percent. Republicans, Democrats,

45
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 5: and Independents were all high eighties around ninety percent either extry.

46
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 5: Sorry that was in nineteen fifty, right right after World

47
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 5: War Two. Now, in two thousand to start this century,

48
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 5: either extremely or very proud, not even including moderately proud.

49
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 5: Extremely or very gets you to damn near for everybody.

50
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 5: It is held at ninety percent. For Republicans, it has

51
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 5: gone down to barely over half. For Independence, it's barely

52
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 5: over a third now For Democrats who are extremely, very

53
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 5: proud to be an American.

54
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 3: I find that highly troubling.

55
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 5: And the fact that it's that Republicans held steady through

56
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 5: the Obama years, so they weren't basing it on.

57
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 3: Who's president, which is a stupid way to base it.

58
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 5: Maybe it's because Republicans would think we're not going to

59
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 5: change whether I'm proud to be an American based on

60
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 5: who's president.

61
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 3: What's that got to do with it?

62
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 5: Like, so we got a text, For instance, as an independent,

63
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 5: I would say my pride for my country has gone

64
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 5: down because of the way both parties now act so

65
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 5: much like each other. Well, yeah, I'm not proud of

66
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 5: our current state of politics. In fact, I think it's

67
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 5: crappy and I'm not don't. I think our education system

68
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 5: is a mess. I think our culture is headed in

69
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 5: the wrong direction. But am I proud to be an

70
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 5: America be up. Put me extremely? Do you have something

71
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 5: higher than extremely?

72
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: Put me down? From my friend?

73
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 6: You have inadvertently reminded me of something I've said many times,

74
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 6: and it's insidious. The idea that the United States of

75
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 6: America is it's government. It's absolutely not true. It's the

76
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 6: people of the United States. It's our constitution, it's our system.

77
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 6: It's not our political parties. They exist within the US

78
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 6: of A. They are not They do not define the

79
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 6: US of A. They're just a part of it. And

80
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 6: I'd rather stand up next to you.

81
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: Yes, So how did we get here?

82
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 6: I was expounding on my theory last hour, and there's

83
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 6: more to it that the indoctrination of the neo Marxist class.

84
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 6: And some of that's from you know, the Soviets and

85
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 6: the Russians doing it on purpose, and the Chinese now,

86
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 6: but also just radical leftists. The indoctrination that they've gotten

87
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 6: into our schools has been successful. We've now got a

88
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 6: couple a handful of generations of people who been brought

89
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,679
Speaker 6: up the only history they've gotten is the United States

90
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 6: is evil. Here's a list of the evil things that

91
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 6: have happened.

92
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 3: That's not an exaggeration.

93
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 5: My son has recently out of an American history public

94
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 5: school class.

95
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we let it happen, and I'm ashamed of that.

96
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 6: Although you know, Judy and I were pretty involved in

97
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 6: our kids' schooling, and it kind of crept in bit

98
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 6: by bit.

99
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 3: And then, as we.

100
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 6: All know, as kids were doing online schooling during COVID,

101
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 6: parents actually for the first time heard what was happening

102
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 6: in the classrooms and were horrified by it.

103
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 3: But this battle against it has just begun to wit.

104
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 6: Back to the piece I mentioned about the Minneapolis public

105
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 6: schools have ethnic studies is absolutely required. You got to

106
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 6: take a bunch of it. And here's a class about

107
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 6: the Mong people.

108
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 3: Why why do you have to tell those classes?

109
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 6: Well here, well, I'll tell you exactly why. So if

110
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 6: you're taking a Mong studies class, you would think you'd

111
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 6: learn about the Southeast Asian people's culture and history, right,

112
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 6: maybe their involvement in the US Civil the Vietnam War,

113
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 6: blah blah blah. So in Minneapolis, prepare you for life

114
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 6: to go out and I don't know, support your family.

115
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 6: But again, that's not why that class exists. In Minneapolis.

116
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 6: High schoolers are instead taught lessons demonizing capitalism as a

117
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 6: pillar of white supremacy alongside slavery and genocide in their

118
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 6: class about Mong Studies. According to course materials obtained by

119
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 6: this group defending Education, the Mong Studies course, which requires

120
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 6: social justice activism as part of a final project, is

121
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 6: just one of the Ethnic studies classes offered in Minneapolis

122
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 6: public schools that push the so called anti racist agenda.

123
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 6: Course materials describe ethnic studies as an anti racist tool,

124
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 6: featuring themes like decolonizing education, and readings by anti racist

125
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 6: activist Ibramex Kendy, who is both a con man and

126
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 6: an America hating Marxist, made a lot of money. Though, Yeah, you.

127
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: Know, kidding from fools, idiots.

128
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 6: So I'm reading about this some of these class descriptions.

129
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 6: Let's see, is that the one I wanted to read?

130
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 6: They all look kind of the same. Oh here you go, so,

131
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 6: oh that's right. I meant to mention I heard this

132
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 6: a number of years ago and was totally unaware of

133
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 6: it that the schools of education, the colleges of education,

134
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 6: is that was the seed of all this stuff seeping

135
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 6: into universities and then high schools and elementary schools across

136
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 6: the country. The leftists brilliantly and evillly targeted our educational system.

137
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 6: Of course you would. You got to convince the kids

138
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 6: to hate their country if you want to bring it down.

139
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 6: So they successfully got their evil into the schools of education.

140
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 3: Listen to this.

141
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,960

Speaker 6: high school and you can earn up to six college

144
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 6: credits for taking this. And it all has to do

145
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:13,080

Speaker 6: and mission of ethnic studies education programs within the context

148
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 6: K through twelve education in the United States.

149
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: Okay, so what is that?

150
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 6: You will learn how ethnic studies is an anti racist

151
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 6: tool as counter story in humanizing pedagogy. You will identify

152
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 6: the kinds of structural inequalities that are part of K

153
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 6: through twelve institutions and the development of curriculum, as well

154
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 6: as understand the concept of multidimensional identities and intersectionalities.

155
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: Wow, blah blah blah, college credits a bunch of freaking gobbledegook.

156
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 3: There's more.

157
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 6: Multicultural education introduces prospective teacher candidates approaches of multicultural, anti

158
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 6: oppressive education, including issues related to student, family, and community

159
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 6: diversity based on race, culture, enguage, class, gender, sexual orientation,

160
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 6: and ability. You will reflect on your own biases as

161
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 6: they relate to oppression, privilege, and equity in schools and society,

162
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 6: as well as formulate ways teachers can be agents of

163
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,599
Speaker 6: change in and with classrooms, schools, and communities.

164
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 5: Wow, you got to get your kid out of that school.

165
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 5: Not to get your kid out of your school. You'd

166
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 5: be better off if they sat at home looking at

167
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 5: YouTube videos about math and science than to be subjected

168
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 5: to that. You're going to reflect on your own biases

169
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 5: if you God, that makes me angry.

170
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 3: And here's the and you can't.

171
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 6: He can't connex Latins studies what that they offer. It's

172
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 6: all about tearing down the system. That's what all this

173
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 6: language means. I got so mad.

174
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 5: I know I've told this story several times if you've

175
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 5: hearn a but my my son's American history classes started

176
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 5: this year, and he was so excited about it. He

177
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 5: loves stuff like that. He's a history nut like his

178
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 5: dad is, and he was so excited about getting into

179
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 5: the Revolutionary War. George Washington, Tom Jefferson, all the different

180
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 5: stuff and everything like that.

181
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 3: No, maybe they got to it eventually. I don't know.

182
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 3: I pulled him out of the class.

183
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 5: They wrote the land Declaration the first day, explaining how

184
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 5: we had stolen the land from the Indians and how

185
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 5: awful we should feel about it.

186
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 6: Had to that's what they did on day one, and

187
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 6: had to give out their pronouns.

188
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 5: That was their first day at school and went downhill

189
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 5: from there as they learned more about the genocide that

190
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 5: we committed against Native Americans.

191
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 3: I'm surprised you didn't pull him day one, and he

192
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 3: gave it a second day just to be sure.

193
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 6: Gender Sexuality Studies students will explore the struggles, accomplishments, and

194
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 6: culture of intersectionality of individuals within the LGBTQTIA plus community.

195
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 6: Students will have the opportunity to investigate engrossing narratives, lectures, drawings, poems,

196
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 6: and more as we engage in in covering the rich

197
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 6: history of the queer community. This course encourages students of

198
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 6: all identities to deepen their understanding of how intersectionality is

199
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 6: their own life and uncovers the history of unequal systems

200
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 6: of power and privilege and how they have been used

201
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 6: to silence members of the queen community My God. Students

202
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 6: will also learn about resilience, how the alphabet soup community

203
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 6: has embraced resistance as a way to transform the communities

204
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 6: in which they live.

205
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 3: What grade is this?

206
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 6: This is high schoolers ten through twelve public high school. Yeah,

207
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 6: it's required in Minneapolis. Required.

208
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 5: The course sane and you know you can't. You should

209
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 5: pay attention to the education your kids are getting, but

210
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 5: you know you also should be able to count on

211
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 5: sending your kid to a public school and things will

212
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 5: be okay.

213
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 3: You'd think you could, but you can't.

214
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 6: So the course materials defending education uncovered for the Mong

215
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 6: Studies course back to that is perhaps the best window

216
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 6: into the Minneapolis public school systems approach to ethnic studies classes.

217
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 6: In one section, power Struggles in Resistance, the class centers.

218
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 6: Do you still think I'm paranoid when I say this

219
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 6: is all foisted, honest by neo Marxists resistance to what well?

220
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 6: The class centers on the pillars of white supremacy, a

221
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 6: complete with a diagram equating capitalism with slavery and on

222
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 6: par with war and genocide. Part of The class's final

223
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 6: assignment requires students to engage in youth lead participatory action research,

224
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 6: a convoluted name for social justice activism. It involves students

225
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 6: identifying a problem perpetuated by the institutions and the logics

226
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,359
Speaker 6: of white supremacy. Remember, our whole system is white supremacy.

227
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 6: You remember systemic racism. The kids are being taught to

228
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 6: tear down the institutions of white supremacy, and our whole

229
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 6: country is white supremacy.

230
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 5: I keep thinking about my own kids, and you know,

231
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 5: wanting to make sure they're not exposed too much of

232
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 5: this crap. Dangerous and a waste of time. But you know,

233
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 5: I gotta worry about the whole country, not just my kids, because.

234
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 3: There's thousands of pounds, thousands of.

235
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 5: Kids that are being taught this bulls and they're gonna

236
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 5: be out.

237
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 3: There, get up in the morning and come in and

238
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 3: do this, and.

239
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 5: They're going to be out there voting, in.

240
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 6: Forming the future of this country. God, that is so frustrating.

241
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 6: One final note. There's more, but we're out of time.

242
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 6: Supplemental resources for the class include the article five Faces

243
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 6: of Oppression, which actually cites Carl Efing Marx to argue

244
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 6: that exploitation uses capitalism to oppress.

245
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 5: That's incredible. Parents need to pay more attention to what

246
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 5: they're teaching in their school. I'm glad I did for

247
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 5: the school board. If I had just ignored it and

248
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 5: assumed he was going to an American history class, I

249
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 5: would never.

250
00:13:51,040 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 2: Know the Armstrong and Getty shot.

251
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 6: We're about to hear from a young lady in Portland,

252
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 6: I believe. Tell us about her.

253
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, she's probably early twenties, beautiful girl actually, but she's

254
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 7: clearly sitting in a woodsy homeless encampment and clearly an addict. Yeah,

255
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 7: do harm reduction people come out here and give you

256
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 7: supplies like harm reduction.

257
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 8: Like the clean syringes and stuff like that.

258
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a couple of them.

259
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: But then there's a few of them that came out

260
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 3: in a vent and they start passing out stuff like

261
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: pipes and snorting kids and like that. Why is making

262
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 3: it so much easier and more comfortable for people to

263
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 3: be like, oh okay, now I don't even know have

264
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 3: to go anywhere.

265
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: Stuff like that is definitely enabling.

266
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 3: It doesn't help.

267
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 7: It's enabling actually makes it more harmful because once.

268
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 3: People get comfortable enough doing.

269
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: Stuff a certain way, like why do anything else?

270
00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: So obvious?

271
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 5: No, but back in the day, the original thing with

272
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 5: needles would spread an HIV around. Okay, you could make

273
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 5: an argument for that, But beyond that, what's the argument

274
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 5: for the paraphernalia handing out hard to drug users?

275
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: I don't know.

276
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 6: I mean because you could get I don't know, a

277
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 6: coal or herpes or COVID by sharing a straw you're

278
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 6: snorting meth with.

279
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 3: I don't know.

280
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 5: I don't think it has anything with that. It's some

281
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 5: sort of I don't know what it is, misplaced compassion.

282
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 6: I guess, yeah, this is compassion, I think would be

283
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 6: the answer. It's yet another great example of the feminization

284
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 6: of America where people have completely lost track of the

285
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 6: fact that you have to have negative consequences for bad behavior.

286
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 6: You'll get more of it. That girl's like, no, you're

287
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 6: enabling people. And she didn't make the point, but I

288
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 6: thought she was going to say. And if you make

289
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 6: it really comfortable for people to be addicted, they get

290
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 6: more addicted and it gets harder and harder to get

291
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 6: off the stuff.

292
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 3: Oh, I had a story something.

293
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 5: I had a story I was going to get to

294
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 5: maybe I'll do it tomorrow about these rehabs that are

295
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 5: ripping people off. Not only do the rehabs that aren't

296
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 5: trying to rip you off fail, like ninety nine percent

297
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 5: of the time, there's a whole bunch of them that

298
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 5: are they're designed to rip you off.

299
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 6: There, Well, that's funny, that's I've got a trio of stories.

300
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 6: That's number one. Drug rehabs lower in patients for insurance money,

301
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 6: then leave them on street.

302
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, So rehabs don't work when they're trying and they're legit,

303
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 5: they've very rarely worked.

304
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 6: These are just trying to steal your money. Huge number

305
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 6: of scammers. Yeah, and then you got this headline, more

306
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 6: marijuana users are crash gummies. High on pot drivers are

307
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 6: contributing to more highway accident deaths. New study found that

308
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 6: more than forty percent of drivers who died in car

309
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 6: accidents in at least one US county over the last

310
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 6: six years forty percent at elevated levels of THFC.

311
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 3: In their Really, that's interesting, now, I say it is.

312
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 5: Of course I need to know is that hire a

313
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 5: lot by a lot than it used to be before

314
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 5: it was legal.

315
00:16:55,400 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 6: Over the last six years anyway, and then an article

316
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 6: asking did pot make the Dallas ice shooter? You remember

317
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 6: that a couple of weeks ago he was anti ice

318
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 6: and he ended up killing some illegal immigrants. Did Pot

319
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 6: make the Dallas ice shooter psychotic? He was a heavy

320
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 6: pot user and was starting to develop psychotic symptoms. Heavy

321
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 6: pot use absolutely makes psychosis more likely.

322
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 5: Well, and pot's way stronger than it used to be,

323
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 5: so it'd be exactly easier to get there. Well, that's trouble.

324
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 9: The Armstrong and Getty show or Jack or show podcasts

325
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 9: and our hot links the arm Strong and Getty Show.

326
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 3: It's the Armstrong and Getty replay.

327
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 6: And we were talking about how even guys like us

328
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 6: who are like super critical of the idea of becoming

329
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 6: more detached from real life, having fewer real friends, fewer

330
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 6: real relationships, having a computer girlfriend, and watching porn all

331
00:17:58,880 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 6: the time.

332
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just it's all incredibly unhealthy.

333
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 6: But we were talking about how when you know Siri

334
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 6: or grocor or I use chat ept for amount of

335
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 6: oh my god, my Siri lit up.

336
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 3: No, I don't want to talk to you, stop it.

337
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 3: Let me alone, I would say, I was talking about you,

338
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 3: not to you, stop it, And.

339
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 6: How even guys like us have an emotional reaction when

340
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 6: you have an exchange with you know who and they

341
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 6: say a cheery thank you, or in Jack's case, said hey,

342
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 6: if you really like that.

343
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 3: Song, you gotta check out the live version. It's amazing.

344
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 6: And in spite of ourselves, we have this emotional reaction

345
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 6: to it as if it's a human being. And I

346
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 6: don't think human beings can can resist that that attraction.

347
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 6: I don't know how it would happen, especially the masses,

348
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 6: because most people don't think about this stuff at all. Right, Yeah, anyway,

349
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 6: so I was thinking, Katie, and this is why cracked

350
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 6: myself up. I was gonna say, okay, everybody has to

351
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 6: reveal their last three AI searches.

352
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 3: Oh boy, And I looked at mine.

353
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 6: And they are do I need a vent free gas

354
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 6: insert for my gas fireplace? And it explained to me

355
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 6: vent free and what that means and stuff? Also, what

356
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 6: the hell is this currency? Saw a price that was

357
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 6: listed in Indian rupees and I didn't recognize that the sign.

358
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 6: But then this one, this is my third to last one.

359
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 6: How many species of animals eat their young?

360
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 3: Such a guy search?

361
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 6: Well, remember I sent you that video of a big

362
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 6: alligator eating a little alligator, right, And Katie, you replied,

363
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 6: I could have gone the rest of my life without

364
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 6: seeing that. I stand by that well. And I was

365
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 6: going to reply the number of species that will eat

366
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 6: their young or eat smaller members of that species, there

367
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 6: are lots and lots of them, but I decided, no,

368
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 6: she's a pregnant lady. You don't need to argue in

369
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 6: favor of eating you're young. So I didn't excuse me.

370
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 6: But that's why I was looking for. That turns out

371
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 6: lots and lots of species, lots of them.

372
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 5: So I just did mine and eliminating show stuff that

373
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 5: I've done today, specifically for the show, just my own

374
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 5: personal last three espresso with cream options because I was

375
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 5: trying to figure out if people drank espresso with cream

376
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 5: or not.

377
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 3: Isn't that called something different?

378
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 5: Meaning of a couple of letters in a text? Because

379
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 5: this happens to me all the time, where a young person,

380
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 5: usually my son, texts me something. It's just a couple letters,

381
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 5: Now any idea what it means? So I have to

382
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 5: go on GPT and figure out will you be home

383
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 5: for dinner tonight?

384
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 9: RF? Right?

385
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 5: Exactly? Actually b FS for sure. Yeah, he's always hitting

386
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 5: me with that. And then because I got lost the

387
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 5: other day on this is who's a word? Who se

388
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 5: But is that right? Because I have voice texted and

389
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 5: it put on there and for some reason, you know,

390
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 5: sometimes the word doesn't look right right, Yeah, and it turns.

391
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 3: Out it's okay. But like just all of a sudden,

392
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 3: it hits you like, that's not right. I've never seen

393
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 3: that before.

394
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 6: Or if you say the words three times in a row,

395
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 6: no longer sounds like a word to you. It just

396
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 6: sounds like reflection the noises.

397
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 3: Right. Yeah.

398
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 7: My last three that are not work involved fall decorating ideas.

399
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 7: Oh nice, pregnancy pain will say when the girls hurt,

400
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 7: if you know what I mean?

401
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 6: Oh, gotch and Bube fairy comes to visit and sometimes

402
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 6: it's uncomfortable.

403
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're killing me.

404
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 7: And convert this dog into a royal painting.

405
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 3: Into a royal painting.

406
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

407
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 7: I took a picture of my friend's dog and turned

408
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 7: it into like a dap a royal night.

409
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 3: Wow, that's great.

410
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 5: One of my searchings searches was what's canyon piercing? Because

411
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 5: I heard so many reference at the other day and

412
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 5: I didn't.

413
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 3: Know what it was. That's can you say it on

414
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 3: the air.

415
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the it's above your butt cleft, the cleft

416
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 5: there putting putting a bar through right above there.

417
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 3: It's called a canyon peer. I guess it's kind of popular.

418
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 5: It's like a step beyond the tramp tramp stamp if

419
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 5: you ever are observing a woman from that angle for

420
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 5: some reason.

421
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 6: On pierced ladies, for some reason, you're a grand canyon

422
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 6: if you will.

423
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 3: It depends on the person. Your canyon is grand. Uh anyway, Yeah,

424
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 3: so that's a piercing insting.

425
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's another thing my life could have done

426
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 7: without Jack Canyon.

427
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 3: One of my searches was asparagus storage tips. You are

428
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 3: a fun guy. Wow, here you.

429
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 5: Are on the stair light.

430
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 3: It's like it's like bet in the circus. It's so

431
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 3: much fun. All right, why don't we do this?

432
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 6: Katie brought this to us speaking of children and that

433
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 6: sort of thing.

434
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 3: Does this need any set up? The little girl clips

435
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 3: you like so much. She's arguing with her dog about

436
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 3: her snacks. It's a golden retriever. Yeah, yeah, you can't.

437
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 3: They say that is actually awesome. Oh my god, you're

438
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 3: inside voice. Oh Is that what she said?

439
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, she said you your inside voice.

440
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 6: God that is Oh no, I'm breaking out in hives.

441
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 6: I'm addicted. I'm allergic to cute and.

442
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 3: I'm having a reaction. Oh that is super cute. Oh

443
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 3: that's spectacular. All right.

444
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 6: Oh, I want to get into the insurance costs. And

445
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 6: Bernie Sanders I agree with him for once, maybe later

446
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 6: on in the hour. But in my looking at various

447
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 6: major left to left center publications, there are several articles

448
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 6: out today all saying essentially the same thing, and I

449
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 6: wonder if it has something to do with mom Donnie.

450
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 6: But they're all saying in Politico, the New York Times,

451
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 6: Wall Street Journal, we gotta lose our left flank Democrats.

452
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 6: They're crazy that we're running crack pot candidates.

453
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 3: We've got to stop.

454
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 6: And I came across this in the Journal some of

455
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 6: their political writers, who are not as conservative as you

456
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 6: might think, writing for the journal. But the headline is

457
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 6: Democratic donors sit on sidelines as party schism persists. The RNC,

458
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 6: the Republican National Committee, had eighty six million dollars in

459
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 6: cash sitting around at the beginning of last month or

460
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 6: this month, rather eighty six million it's twelve million for

461
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 6: the DNC. The big donors are close in their checkbooks

462
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 6: and sitting on their hands.

463
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 3: Too many crazy people in your party.

464
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 6: And what's amazing is how few people were willing to

465
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 6: say that until recently.

466
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, and also big donors who, uh, there's plenty of

467
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 5: capitalists who are Democrats, but oh, he's the chunk of

468
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 5: the Democratic Party that is anti capitalism.

469
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 3: They're probably not that excited to fund right right.

470
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 6: And to return to the theme once again, the great

471
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 6: feminization of America that we've been talking about for a

472
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 6: couple of days, and how cancel culture is about ostracizing

473
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 6: somebody who says something we don't like and you don't

474
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 6: argued out with them, You cancel them. You declare them untouchable,

475
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 6: You say anybody who goes to coffee with them as

476
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 6: a bad person. A very feminine squeezing somebody out of

477
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 6: the friend group thing. You combine that with the fact

478
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 6: that on the left, especially women, tend to be more

479
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 6: acceptance motivated than truths motivated. They want to be accepted

480
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 6: in the group. So it makes perfect sense that it

481
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 6: took a very long time for progressive or I should

482
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 6: just say democrats who have that acceptance lens to stand

483
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 6: up and say, excuse me, the group I'm in is wrong,

484
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 6: And I think a lot of us agree. Those people

485
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 6: have been running the show. They've been bullying everybody. They

486
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 6: need to stop. Let's all stand up to them. Takes

487
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 6: a while to do that on the left in a

488
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 6: way that it doesn't on the right. Hell, we're arguing

489
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 6: with each other all the time on the right, saying no,

490
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 6: you're wrong, that's not true, or that's not.

491
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 3: Going to work. The whole acceptance thing on the left

492
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 3: doesn't permit that. I've been saying this for a couple

493
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 3: of years.

494
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 5: I have a lot of right leaning podcasts I listen

495
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 5: to where the people regularly don't agree. I mean, it's

496
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 5: like one of the things that makes the podcast. It's interesting.

497
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 5: Are there such a thing on the left? I'm not

498
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 5: aware of them.

499
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 3: Where you have.

500
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 5: You know a mainstream democrat and a progressive that don't

501
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 5: agree on these subjects like happens in the right wing podcast.

502
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 5: If you know them one push it my way. I'd

503
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 5: love to I'd love to listen to it.

504
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 3: I just think that's further proof of the of the

505
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 3: premise that I can ever remember her name.

506
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 6: Helen Andrews had in her Great Feminization, a piece that

507
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 6: we talked about at length yesterday hour two of the show.

508
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 6: If you want to grab the podcast Armstrong and Get

509
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 6: on demand. But that's that's part of it is that women,

510
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 6: generally speaking, I can find this really quickly. All cancelations

511
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 6: are feminine. Cancel culture is simply what women do when

512
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 6: there are enough of them to get in a given

513
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 6: organization or field. Where is that it's just so well

514
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 6: explained that women prize acceptance and cohesion there it is

515
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 6: substance fits everything you think of as wokeness involves prioritizing

516
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 6: the feminine over the masculine. And think about this in

517
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 6: the context of moderate lefties standing up to far left lefties.

518
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 6: Empathy over rationality, safety over risk, cohesion over competition.

519
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 5: On that one, couldn't you just go with the premise

520
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 5: of the movie Mean Girls, just that with girls, you're

521
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 5: just you're either part of the in group or you're ostracized. Right,

522
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 5: that doesn't exist at the same level for guys at all.

523
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 8: Jack Armstrong and Joe The Armstrong and Getty Show.

524
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: The Armstrong and Getty Show.

525
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 6: Great reporting by Steve Williams. He posted it at RedState

526
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 6: dot com. We can't get to the whole thing, so

527
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 6: we'll post it at Armstrong and getdy under hot links.

528
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 6: LA's latest housing scandal, the homeless industrial complex, unbelievable, he writes.

529
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 6: The recent federal arrests tied to a senior housing project

530
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 6: have exposed a pattern in a series of earlier transactions

531
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 6: quietly approved by the city of La. Key to this

532
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 6: scheme is the twenty twenty two purchase of four Extended

533
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 6: State America hotels from Blackstone, the world's largest private equity firm.

534
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 6: These acquisitions, totally more than one hundred and eighty million dollars,

535
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 6: were financed through Project Home key Gavin Newsom's California pandemic

536
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 6: here a program to convert hotels into homeless housing, but

537
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 6: analysis shows the city was not addressing.

538
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,479
Speaker 3: Homelessness they sit almost empty.

539
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 6: Instead, it created a real estate windfall for politically connected

540
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 6: developers and what to Wall Street's most powerful landlords. The

541
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 6: four Extended State properties were sold for staggering amounts far

542
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 6: far above market value.

543
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 3: Wow.

544
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 6: Each was bought from Blackstone, which it acquired the Extended

545
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 6: Stay America brand in twenty twenty one through a venture

546
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 6: blah blah blah. Less than a year later, Blackstone was

547
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 6: cashing out of its La holdings, not to private investors,

548
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 6: but to city hall, flush with emergency homeless funds. According

549
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 6: to records, each purchase included architectural fees, zoning, CEQA reviews,

550
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 6: environmental assessments, and a two percent administrative fee, all build

551
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 6: to taxpayers, totally more than four point two million dollars

552
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 6: in added costs besides the incredibly bloated prices. Three years later,

553
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 6: most of these hotels remain largely empty. They're part of

554
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 6: a growing portfolio of home key funded properties that have

555
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 6: failed to house significant numbers of homeless residents despite costing

556
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 6: taxpayers billions.

557
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 3: Then he writes sound familiar because it is.

558
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 6: Back in August, I reported how Torrence officials stopped La

559
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 6: County from spending thirty million dollars on a hotel valued

560
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 6: at just ten million dollars, a near copy of the

561
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 6: scheme the city of ran three years earlier. The steps

562
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 6: were nearly identical. Find a hotel, inflate its value, declare

563
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 6: an emergency purchase using homelessness funds, move tax payer money

564
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 6: quickly before anyone asks questions. But the problem was the

565
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 6: city of Torrens is run by Republicans, and suspecting that

566
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 6: the county's price was inflated, the city commission an independent

567
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 6: third party appraisal which confirmed that the true value was

568
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 6: not thirty million dollars, it was ten million dollars. Under

569
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 6: public scrutiny, the deal collapsed, with the Republican led city

570
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 6: government preventing another multi multimillion dollar misuse of public funds.

571
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 6: And he goes into describing of how it's all built

572
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 6: on secrecy, secrecy. Everything moves quickly, the figures are never

573
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 6: known to the public. Project home Key was designed for speed,

574
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 6: not scrutiny. Cities are allowed to bypass competitive bidding and

575
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 6: public hearings if they labeled their purchases emergency acquisitions.

576
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 5: How did the Bernie crowd get away with the tax

577
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 5: the rich rich not paying their for fair share all

578
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 5: the time without ever getting into this stuff. This is

579
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 5: where the money is, Bernie AOC. You want more money

580
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 5: for all the stuff you care about.

581
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 3: This is where it is right, right, absolutely true.

582
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 6: And you know what really pisses me off is that

583
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 6: the media, they have completely lost their taste for finding

584
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 6: and disclosing government waste or lavish programs like this because

585
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 6: they're all generated by the left, and so they think, well,

586
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 6: homeless is a terrible problem. I don't want to be

587
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 6: seen as criticized them. I mean, they may have overpaid

588
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 6: a little, but it was an emergency, after.

589
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 5: All, after all, architect fees. It's already existed for a

590
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 5: very long time. I'm sure it's fine.

591
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 6: Well, and hack Law, which is the acronym for the

592
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 6: Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles, acts as

593
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 6: broker administrator, handles all the transactions internally, then builds the

594
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 6: city for staffing and overhead millions and millions of dollars.

595
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 3: You know, this reminds me of how much time I got, Michael,

596
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 3: depends on how you kept.

597
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 5: Now we got three minutes, okay, so similar to this.

598
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 5: I heard this story twice over the weekend, just coincidentally,

599
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 5: from people that work in schools in California. How much

600
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 5: food they're wasting at their school. Somebody brought it up,

601
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 5: and then another person because during the pandemic, somebody was

602
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 5: able to jam through the no, no, no, everybody should get

603
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 5: breakfast in lunch. It used to be just like need based,

604
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 5: and then somebody decided the crisis now everybody. And so

605
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 5: it continued after the pandemic's over, as these programs always do.

606
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 5: And these teachers, who I assume are probably lefties, were

607
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 5: horrified by how much food they're throwing away every day.

608
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 5: They said, like half the kids bring their own lunch,

609
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 5: or don't eat lunch or breakfast or show up.

610
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 3: They don't eat breakfast at home.

611
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 5: And they make all of these meals for every single

612
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 5: kid in the school, breakfast and lunch, and most of

613
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 5: them they throw away. And I wanted to say to them,

614
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 5: but I didn't want to jump into the story. The

615
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 5: spending is the point. It's not about anybody getting any food.

616
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 5: It's about spending money. And it's the same with this

617
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 5: homeless thing. When will liberals understand the spending is the point,

618
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,280
Speaker 5: not fixing your causes that you care about.

619
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 6: You know Steve Williams who wrote this article. You read

620
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 6: his mind or vice versa. He writes, every wasted dollar

621
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 6: is one that could have gone toward mental health treatment,

622
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 6: addiction recovery, job training, new housing construction. Instead, those dollars

623
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 6: flowed to brokers, bureaucrats and Blackstones balance sheet. And then

624
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 6: then he points out to your point, When the leaders

625
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 6: of Torrents rejected the thirty million dollar extended state proposal,

626
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 6: they were immediately hammered with accusations being anti homeless, right

627
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 6: or or insensitive to the almlessness problem.

628
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:50,720
Speaker 3: Mean conservatives.

629
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, like, I assume these teachers can come up with

630
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,439
Speaker 5: all kinds of places that money ought to be spent,

631
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 5: whether it's books or whatever. The hell tutors to make

632
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 5: education better, raise your hand and say, hey, we're throwing

633
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 5: away food like crazy. This program was designed, probably by

634
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 5: the Department of Agriculture, just to get money flowing various places.

635
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 3: It had nothing to do with feeding anybody. How do

636
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 3: you not get this right?

637
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 6: Invent an emergency, appropriate, appropriate, just wildly excessive amounts of money,

638
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 6: and then accuse anybody who calls you on it of

639
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 6: being anti child or anti homeless, or Islamophobic or whatever else.

640
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 5: The first person I heard say this, Norah Rothman, wrote

641
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 5: this in the National Review. It's such a great line.

642
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 5: The spending is the point. Yes, with all of these things,

643
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 5: you get so far off track. If you start thinking

644
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 5: about solving a problem, there is no problem.

645
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 3: The spending is the point. People get this money.

646
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 6: Place, Stacy Abrams getting one point eight billion dollars or

647
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 6: whatever it was for green inner city initiatives.

648
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 3: My ass was just a handout

649
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 8: Jack Armstrong, Joe Gatty the Armstrong and Getty Joe
