Wow, 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:45.280 damn commies. 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:49.360 So speaking of France, I wonder we were talking about 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.640 this poll which I'm about to repeat, and a number 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:55.280 of people who are extremely proud to be American? What 0:01:55.400 --> 0:02:01.000 is the poll in other countries? Your average Frenchman? Are 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.960 they call him Jacques? Are they proud to be French 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.080 or Brita or Spanish or Chinese or pick a country. 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:09.360 I would love to know that. 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.079 I don't have it. I don't really don't. I don't 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:13.080 really have a guess. 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:19.160 Well, and let's pull French French people and then immigrants 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.280 and ask them the same people the same question. 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.519 Gallup's been asking this question for a quarter of a century, now, 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.639 how proud are you to be an American? And they 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:32.680 only are putting in this graph extremely proud or very proud. 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:33.679 It's the only. 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.399 Group you really needed to include when they started doing 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:40.279 the graph, because everybody was at like ninety percent. Republicans, Democrats, 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:45.320 and Independents were all high eighties around ninety percent either extry. 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:48.919 Sorry that was in nineteen fifty, right right after World 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:52.200 War Two. Now, in two thousand to start this century, 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:56.959 either extremely or very proud, not even including moderately proud. 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:01.720 Extremely or very gets you to damn near for everybody. 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:05.200 It is held at ninety percent. For Republicans, it has 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:09.040 gone down to barely over half. For Independence, it's barely 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.839 over a third now For Democrats who are extremely, very 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:14.400 proud to be an American. 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.120 I find that highly troubling. 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.720 And the fact that it's that Republicans held steady through 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:22.600 the Obama years, so they weren't basing it on. 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.240 Who's president, which is a stupid way to base it. 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.440 Maybe it's because Republicans would think we're not going to 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.120 change whether I'm proud to be an American based on 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:32.440 who's president. 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:33.639 What's that got to do with it? 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.520 Like, so we got a text, For instance, as an independent, 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:39.560 I would say my pride for my country has gone 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.240 down because of the way both parties now act so 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.240 much like each other. Well, yeah, I'm not proud of 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.680 our current state of politics. In fact, I think it's 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:52.000 crappy and I'm not don't. I think our education system 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.160 is a mess. I think our culture is headed in 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.040 the wrong direction. But am I proud to be an 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.120 America be up. Put me extremely? Do you have something 0:03:58.200 --> 0:03:59.119 higher than extremely? 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.480 Put me down? From my friend? 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.760 You have inadvertently reminded me of something I've said many times, 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.640 and it's insidious. The idea that the United States of 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:16.240 America is it's government. It's absolutely not true. It's the 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:20.040 people of the United States. It's our constitution, it's our system. 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:24.760 It's not our political parties. They exist within the US 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.440 of A. They are not They do not define the 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.720 US of A. They're just a part of it. And 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.920 I'd rather stand up next to you. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.880 Yes, So how did we get here? 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:41.440 I was expounding on my theory last hour, and there's 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:45.520 more to it that the indoctrination of the neo Marxist class. 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:47.960 And some of that's from you know, the Soviets and 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.720 the Russians doing it on purpose, and the Chinese now, 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.000 but also just radical leftists. The indoctrination that they've gotten 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:57.240 into our schools has been successful. We've now got a 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.560 couple a handful of generations of people who been brought 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.679 up the only history they've gotten is the United States 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:05.599 is evil. Here's a list of the evil things that 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:06.159 have happened. 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:09.240 That's not an exaggeration. 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.480 My son has recently out of an American history public 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:13.400 school class. 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.320 Yeah, and we let it happen, and I'm ashamed of that. 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.080 Although you know, Judy and I were pretty involved in 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.800 our kids' schooling, and it kind of crept in bit 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:22.400 by bit. 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:23.920 And then, as we. 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:28.919 All know, as kids were doing online schooling during COVID, 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.159 parents actually for the first time heard what was happening 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.560 in the classrooms and were horrified by it. 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.360 But this battle against it has just begun to wit. 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.320 Back to the piece I mentioned about the Minneapolis public 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:46.560 schools have ethnic studies is absolutely required. You got to 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.440 take a bunch of it. And here's a class about 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:50.760 the Mong people. 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.479 Why why do you have to tell those classes? 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:58.800 Well here, well, I'll tell you exactly why. So if 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.479 you're taking a Mong studies class, you would think you'd 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:06.000 learn about the Southeast Asian people's culture and history, right, 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.880 maybe their involvement in the US Civil the Vietnam War, 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:11.960 blah blah blah. So in Minneapolis, prepare you for life 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.120 to go out and I don't know, support your family. 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:18.120 But again, that's not why that class exists. In Minneapolis. 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:23.320 High schoolers are instead taught lessons demonizing capitalism as a 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:27.480 pillar of white supremacy alongside slavery and genocide in their 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:31.800 class about Mong Studies. According to course materials obtained by 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:35.359 this group defending Education, the Mong Studies course, which requires 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:39.400 social justice activism as part of a final project, is 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.720 just one of the Ethnic studies classes offered in Minneapolis 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:47.360 public schools that push the so called anti racist agenda. 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:51.560 Course materials describe ethnic studies as an anti racist tool, 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:55.719 featuring themes like decolonizing education, and readings by anti racist 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.960 activist Ibramex Kendy, who is both a con man and 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:04.120 an America hating Marxist, made a lot of money. Though, Yeah, you. 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:05.960 Know, kidding from fools, idiots. 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:10.920 So I'm reading about this some of these class descriptions. 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:14.720 Let's see, is that the one I wanted to read? 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.800 They all look kind of the same. Oh here you go, so, 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.000 oh that's right. I meant to mention I heard this 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:21.720 a number of years ago and was totally unaware of 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:25.920 it that the schools of education, the colleges of education, 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:30.120 is that was the seed of all this stuff seeping 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:34.040 into universities and then high schools and elementary schools across 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:40.960 the country. The leftists brilliantly and evillly targeted our educational system. 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.160 Of course you would. You got to convince the kids 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.480 to hate their country if you want to bring it down. 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.960 So they successfully got their evil into the schools of education. 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:52.440 Listen to this. 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:57.960 Intro to Ethnic Studies Education and multi Multicultural Education. This 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:01.440 is for grades eleven and twelve juniors and seniors in 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.680 high school and you can earn up to six college 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:08.240 credits for taking this. And it all has to do 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:13.080 with heading into the field of education. Intro to Ethnic 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.040 Studies Education is designed to look at the origin, development, 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.280 and mission of ethnic studies education programs within the context 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.120 K through twelve education in the United States. 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:22.080 Okay, so what is that? 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.800 You will learn how ethnic studies is an anti racist 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:29.080 tool as counter story in humanizing pedagogy. You will identify 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.520 the kinds of structural inequalities that are part of K 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:35.719 through twelve institutions and the development of curriculum, as well 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:39.839 as understand the concept of multidimensional identities and intersectionalities. 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:44.280 Wow, blah blah blah, college credits a bunch of freaking gobbledegook. 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:45.440 There's more. 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:52.800 Multicultural education introduces prospective teacher candidates approaches of multicultural, anti 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:57.800 oppressive education, including issues related to student, family, and community 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:02.559 diversity based on race, culture, enguage, class, gender, sexual orientation, 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.679 and ability. You will reflect on your own biases as 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:09.559 they relate to oppression, privilege, and equity in schools and society, 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.760 as well as formulate ways teachers can be agents of 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.599 change in and with classrooms, schools, and communities. 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.720 Wow, you got to get your kid out of that school. 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:23.480 Not to get your kid out of your school. You'd 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:27.000 be better off if they sat at home looking at 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:31.960 YouTube videos about math and science than to be subjected 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.440 to that. You're going to reflect on your own biases 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.120 if you God, that makes me angry. 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:39.680 And here's the and you can't. 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:46.080 He can't connex Latins studies what that they offer. It's 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:50.600 all about tearing down the system. That's what all this 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:52.959 language means. I got so mad. 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:56.080 I know I've told this story several times if you've 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.200 hearn a but my my son's American history classes started 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.240 this year, and he was so excited about it. He 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:03.120 loves stuff like that. He's a history nut like his 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.559 dad is, and he was so excited about getting into 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:09.000 the Revolutionary War. George Washington, Tom Jefferson, all the different 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:10.040 stuff and everything like that. 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.400 No, maybe they got to it eventually. I don't know. 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:13.520 I pulled him out of the class. 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:17.760 They wrote the land Declaration the first day, explaining how 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:19.760 we had stolen the land from the Indians and how 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:21.080 awful we should feel about it. 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:23.640 Had to that's what they did on day one, and 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:24.880 had to give out their pronouns. 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.480 That was their first day at school and went downhill 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:29.800 from there as they learned more about the genocide that 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:31.439 we committed against Native Americans. 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.400 I'm surprised you didn't pull him day one, and he 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:36.079 gave it a second day just to be sure. 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:40.520 Gender Sexuality Studies students will explore the struggles, accomplishments, and 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:46.600 culture of intersectionality of individuals within the LGBTQTIA plus community. 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:51.160 Students will have the opportunity to investigate engrossing narratives, lectures, drawings, poems, 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.520 and more as we engage in in covering the rich 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:57.000 history of the queer community. This course encourages students of 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.920 all identities to deepen their understanding of how intersectionality is 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.680 their own life and uncovers the history of unequal systems 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.800 of power and privilege and how they have been used 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:12.040 to silence members of the queen community My God. Students 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.280 will also learn about resilience, how the alphabet soup community 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.920 has embraced resistance as a way to transform the communities 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:19.720 in which they live. 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:21.679 What grade is this? 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:26.160 This is high schoolers ten through twelve public high school. Yeah, 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.640 it's required in Minneapolis. Required. 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:32.760 The course sane and you know you can't. You should 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:34.800 pay attention to the education your kids are getting, but 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:38.080 you know you also should be able to count on 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.959 sending your kid to a public school and things will 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:41.520 be okay. 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.000 You'd think you could, but you can't. 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:50.040 So the course materials defending education uncovered for the Mong 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.839 Studies course back to that is perhaps the best window 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:56.040 into the Minneapolis public school systems approach to ethnic studies classes. 0:11:56.280 --> 0:12:00.000 In one section, power Struggles in Resistance, the class centers. 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.360 Do you still think I'm paranoid when I say this 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:07.680 is all foisted, honest by neo Marxists resistance to what well? 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:12.319 The class centers on the pillars of white supremacy, a 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:16.400 complete with a diagram equating capitalism with slavery and on 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:21.800 par with war and genocide. Part of The class's final 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:26.640 assignment requires students to engage in youth lead participatory action research, 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.680 a convoluted name for social justice activism. It involves students 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:34.360 identifying a problem perpetuated by the institutions and the logics 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:38.359 of white supremacy. Remember, our whole system is white supremacy. 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:44.080 You remember systemic racism. The kids are being taught to 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:48.120 tear down the institutions of white supremacy, and our whole 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.120 country is white supremacy. 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:55.600 I keep thinking about my own kids, and you know, 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:57.720 wanting to make sure they're not exposed too much of 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:05.120 this crap. Dangerous and a waste of time. But you know, 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.320 I gotta worry about the whole country, not just my kids, because. 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.400 There's thousands of pounds, thousands of. 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.800 Kids that are being taught this bulls and they're gonna 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:14.319 be out. 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:15.720 There, get up in the morning and come in and 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:16.400 do this, and. 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:23.640 They're going to be out there voting, in. 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:24.400 Forming the future of this country. God, that is so frustrating. 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:28.360 One final note. There's more, but we're out of time. 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:32.000 Supplemental resources for the class include the article five Faces 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:36.840 of Oppression, which actually cites Carl Efing Marx to argue 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.680 that exploitation uses capitalism to oppress. 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:43.959 That's incredible. Parents need to pay more attention to what 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.760 they're teaching in their school. I'm glad I did for 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:48.600 the school board. If I had just ignored it and 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:50.559 assumed he was going to an American history class, I 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:51.160 would never. 0:13:51.040 --> 0:14:02.400 Know the Armstrong and Getty shot. 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.520 We're about to hear from a young lady in Portland, 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.120 I believe. Tell us about her. 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:13.480 Yeah, she's probably early twenties, beautiful girl actually, but she's 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:18.200 clearly sitting in a woodsy homeless encampment and clearly an addict. Yeah, 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.760 do harm reduction people come out here and give you 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.040 supplies like harm reduction. 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:27.280 Like the clean syringes and stuff like that. 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:29.880 Yeah, there's a couple of them. 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.680 But then there's a few of them that came out 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:34.840 in a vent and they start passing out stuff like 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:40.760 pipes and snorting kids and like that. Why is making 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.160 it so much easier and more comfortable for people to 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.240 be like, oh okay, now I don't even know have 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:45.840 to go anywhere. 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.760 Stuff like that is definitely enabling. 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:49.960 It doesn't help. 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:54.040 It's enabling actually makes it more harmful because once. 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:55.600 People get comfortable enough doing. 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.200 Stuff a certain way, like why do anything else? 0:14:58.400 --> 0:14:58.960 So obvious? 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:00.840 No, but back in the day, the original thing with 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:03.600 needles would spread an HIV around. Okay, you could make 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:07.600 an argument for that, But beyond that, what's the argument 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:11.480 for the paraphernalia handing out hard to drug users? 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:12.920 I don't know. 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.520 I mean because you could get I don't know, a 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:19.680 coal or herpes or COVID by sharing a straw you're 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:20.840 snorting meth with. 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:22.120 I don't know. 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:24.280 I don't think it has anything with that. It's some 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:28.640 sort of I don't know what it is, misplaced compassion. 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.840 I guess, yeah, this is compassion, I think would be 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:37.600 the answer. It's yet another great example of the feminization 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:42.000 of America where people have completely lost track of the 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.800 fact that you have to have negative consequences for bad behavior. 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:46.840 You'll get more of it. That girl's like, no, you're 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.320 enabling people. And she didn't make the point, but I 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:51.280 thought she was going to say. And if you make 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:53.880 it really comfortable for people to be addicted, they get 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.960 more addicted and it gets harder and harder to get 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:57.920 off the stuff. 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:00.680 Oh, I had a story something. 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:01.720 I had a story I was going to get to 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:04.480 maybe I'll do it tomorrow about these rehabs that are 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.040 ripping people off. Not only do the rehabs that aren't 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.240 trying to rip you off fail, like ninety nine percent 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.480 of the time, there's a whole bunch of them that 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:12.920 are they're designed to rip you off. 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.600 There, Well, that's funny, that's I've got a trio of stories. 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:19.240 That's number one. Drug rehabs lower in patients for insurance money, 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:20.440 then leave them on street. 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:23.840 Yeah, So rehabs don't work when they're trying and they're legit, 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:25.520 they've very rarely worked. 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.560 These are just trying to steal your money. Huge number 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.040 of scammers. Yeah, and then you got this headline, more 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.360 marijuana users are crash gummies. High on pot drivers are 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:38.120 contributing to more highway accident deaths. New study found that 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.600 more than forty percent of drivers who died in car 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.280 accidents in at least one US county over the last 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:46.800 six years forty percent at elevated levels of THFC. 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.520 In their Really, that's interesting, now, I say it is. 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:51.320 Of course I need to know is that hire a 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.040 lot by a lot than it used to be before 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:53.840 it was legal. 0:16:55.400 --> 0:17:00.800 Over the last six years anyway, and then an article 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:04.200 asking did pot make the Dallas ice shooter? You remember 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.560 that a couple of weeks ago he was anti ice 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.800 and he ended up killing some illegal immigrants. Did Pot 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:13.119 make the Dallas ice shooter psychotic? He was a heavy 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:17.080 pot user and was starting to develop psychotic symptoms. Heavy 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:21.000 pot use absolutely makes psychosis more likely. 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.560 Well, and pot's way stronger than it used to be, 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:27.679 so it'd be exactly easier to get there. Well, that's trouble. 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:32.080 The Armstrong and Getty show or Jack or show podcasts 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:40.119 and our hot links the arm Strong and Getty Show. 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:42.280 It's the Armstrong and Getty replay. 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.200 And we were talking about how even guys like us 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:51.040 who are like super critical of the idea of becoming 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.760 more detached from real life, having fewer real friends, fewer 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:58.879 real relationships, having a computer girlfriend, and watching porn all 0:17:58.880 --> 0:17:59.160 the time. 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.760 I mean, it's just it's all incredibly unhealthy. 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:06.800 But we were talking about how when you know Siri 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:11.000 or grocor or I use chat ept for amount of 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:12.920 oh my god, my Siri lit up. 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:14.639 No, I don't want to talk to you, stop it. 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.040 Let me alone, I would say, I was talking about you, 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:20.600 not to you, stop it, And. 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:25.400 How even guys like us have an emotional reaction when 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:30.080 you have an exchange with you know who and they 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:33.920 say a cheery thank you, or in Jack's case, said hey, 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:34.840 if you really like that. 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:37.760 Song, you gotta check out the live version. It's amazing. 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:42.200 And in spite of ourselves, we have this emotional reaction 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:44.320 to it as if it's a human being. And I 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:50.200 don't think human beings can can resist that that attraction. 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:54.119 I don't know how it would happen, especially the masses, 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:57.960 because most people don't think about this stuff at all. Right, Yeah, anyway, 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.320 so I was thinking, Katie, and this is why cracked 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.879 myself up. I was gonna say, okay, everybody has to 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:08.639 reveal their last three AI searches. 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:12.800 Oh boy, And I looked at mine. 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:18.280 And they are do I need a vent free gas 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.760 insert for my gas fireplace? And it explained to me 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:25.000 vent free and what that means and stuff? Also, what 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:28.600 the hell is this currency? Saw a price that was 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:32.560 listed in Indian rupees and I didn't recognize that the sign. 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:38.240 But then this one, this is my third to last one. 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:41.640 How many species of animals eat their young? 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:45.760 Such a guy search? 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:50.800 Well, remember I sent you that video of a big 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:55.800 alligator eating a little alligator, right, And Katie, you replied, 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:58.120 I could have gone the rest of my life without 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:03.000 seeing that. I stand by that well. And I was 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:07.680 going to reply the number of species that will eat 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:11.399 their young or eat smaller members of that species, there 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:13.760 are lots and lots of them, but I decided, no, 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:16.600 she's a pregnant lady. You don't need to argue in 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:20.960 favor of eating you're young. So I didn't excuse me. 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:23.280 But that's why I was looking for. That turns out 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:26.080 lots and lots of species, lots of them. 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:29.560 So I just did mine and eliminating show stuff that 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:32.440 I've done today, specifically for the show, just my own 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:36.840 personal last three espresso with cream options because I was 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:39.160 trying to figure out if people drank espresso with cream 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:39.439 or not. 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:43.200 Isn't that called something different? 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:47.600 Meaning of a couple of letters in a text? Because 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:49.920 this happens to me all the time, where a young person, 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:53.040 usually my son, texts me something. It's just a couple letters, 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:54.720 Now any idea what it means? So I have to 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:56.720 go on GPT and figure out will you be home 0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:57.520 for dinner tonight? 0:20:57.880 --> 0:20:59.000 RF?

And then because I got lost the 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:12.320 other day on this is who's a word? Who se 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:15.600 But is that right? Because I have voice texted and 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:17.080 it put on there and for some reason, you know, 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:20.040 sometimes the word doesn't look right right, Yeah, and it turns. 0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:21.359 Out it's okay. But like just all of a sudden, 0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:23.440 it hits you like, that's not right. I've never seen 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:24.040 that before. 0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:26.920 Or if you say the words three times in a row, 0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:28.760 no longer sounds like a word to you. It just 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:30.120 sounds like reflection the noises. 0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:31.760 Right. Yeah. 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:35.840 My last three that are not work involved fall decorating ideas. 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:42.040 Oh nice, pregnancy pain will say when the girls hurt, 0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:42.879 if you know what I mean? 0:21:43.080 --> 0:21:47.720
