Speaker 3: message is a scam and it's happening across the country

6
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 3: criminals posing as totaling authorities. Cybersecurity pro say the scam

7
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 3: software was built in China and sold to criminal gangs

8
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 3: around the world, called a smshine scheme using SMS messaging.

9
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 3: Cyber pro say it's the latest twist to a scam

10
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 3: telling Americans they owe money for a postal delivery. The

11
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 3: expert device be suspicious of any message from a totaling agency.

12
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 3: Call the agency's published number if you're not sure, and

13
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 3: never click on the link or accept a one time

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: code that could open your bank account.

15
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: Did he say smishing?

16
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: Yes to smishing operations, so it's like phishing, but it's

17
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: SMS texting, so they're calling it smishing. All right, everything's

18
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: gonna have a cute name. Uck, everything's branding these days.

19
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: Do you know anything more about this, Katie. I've had

20
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: I've been I've had this coming in my text line

21
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: a lot.

22
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean this, this is pretty common.

23
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: Any anytime you get a text message with a link,

24
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: my rules just don't click it. The problem is that

25
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: the times when it's true then called. Well, if you

26
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: have endless time, you can call every single one of

27
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: these and try to track down do I actually have

28
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: a package. I'll wait on hold here at the ups

29
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: one eyed undered line to figure out if I actually

30
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: have a package or if this is a scam. And

31
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: I get ten of these a day, so I just

32
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: ignore them all. And then every once while you get

33
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: a letter in the mail. No, that one, that medical bill. Yeah,

34
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna turn it over to the collection agency if

35
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: you don't pay it. Oh that's a real one. Oh okay, yeah, yeah.

36
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: They're usually signs that it's phony. The the the actual

37
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: U r L will be Funky or what have you.

38
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: L that's right.

39
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: Yep, that's your stage name during your hip hop days.

40
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: That's right for smishing schemes. Speaking of scams, it was funny.

41
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: I was going to bring this up later, but now's

42
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: a fine time. You know, it's one of the greatest

43
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: scams in the workplace.

44
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 2: Uh.

45
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: The concept of unlimited paid time off. Here at Jones Tech,

46
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: we have unlimited vacation as long as you.

47
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: Take care of your stuff.

48
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: If you need to take time off, you just take

49
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,839
Speaker 1: it here at Jones Technology. Well, big study, and I've

50
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: I actually I've known a couple of people who have

51
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: this situation. It's generally the what it ought to be

52
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: called is non specified time off because it's usually in

53
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: go go companies with a you gotta give it all

54
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: to the company culture, and the idea of taking any

55
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: time off, much less like two and a half weeks

56
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: to go to Australia is completely out of the question.

57
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: I think I might like this. Maybe it's a way

58
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: to get around a variety of things and start punishing

59
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: or overlooking the people that you know abuse vacation days

60
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: and spirit days and sick days and all that sort

61
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: of stuff. You do this, and it's like, Okay, here,

62
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: he is a lot of time off, We'll overlook them.

63
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: How about we give it to Fred or Janine who

64
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: is not taken all the time off, move her up

65
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: to the next job. Well yeah, but the functional the

66
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: result of this is nobody gets any vacation. You'd have

67
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: to have some sort of unlimited time off after two

68
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: weeks or something I think would be the only way

69
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: to work, or however, many weeks vacation would be normal,

70
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: So everybody gets a certain amount, yeah for sure. Yeah,

71
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: and then beyond that, you know you want to go

72
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: ahead and be the person who never shows up for work.

73
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: Go ahead and see how that works out. Yeah, well

74
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: that's the way a lot of companies work. But anyway,

75
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: if you accept a job like that, thinking oh, this

76
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: is great, I can take time off whenever I want.

77
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: No, it's the opposite.

78
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: The people at these companies that have unlimited PTO as

79
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: they call it, take less vacation than normal workers.

80
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: I would have assumed that's the case. Yeah, that's what

81
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: I assumed when I first heard the whole thing. Yeah.

82
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's very insightful, here's regulations, here's good news from DOGE.

83
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: I'm very excited about this. One of their first things.

84
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: They're taking aim at the humble penny pennies. Gotta go

85
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: elon and people said the other day this has made

86
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: no sense for years. We're spending four cents to make

87
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: a penny or whatever it is. I think it's three cents,

88
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: three and a half cents. It costs to make a penny.

89
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: You don't need pennies, especially after inflation. Pennies were stupid

90
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: before inflation. Post inflation, it's insane that we have the penny.

91
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: But so they're gonna finally get rid of it, or

92
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: at least they're gonna yet they're.

93
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: Gonna recommend it.

94
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: You know what's funny and ironic is I'm always mindful

95
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: of Chesterton's fence. Don't take down a fence until you

96
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: fully understand why it is there. And so that's you know,

97
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: it's one of your ancient, time honored explanations of conservatism.

98
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: But the progressive side, mostly when it comes to government,

99
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: are among the most conservative people on earth. If a

100
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: government program exists, it must always exist. If something that

101
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: is paid for by taxpayers ever happens, it must always

102
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: happen and can never not happen again, no matter how

103
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: wasteful or ridiculous.

104
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: Isn't that odd? Goodbye penny? Yeah, fine, good riddance, And

105
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 2: I like this.

106
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: Representative darryl Isa of California tweeted out yesterday, I've seen enough.

107
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm calling for a congressional investigation of the White House staff.

108
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: Elected Democrats in mainstream media who knew about Joe Biden's

109
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: decline and covered it up from the American people, I

110
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: think that's perfectly appropriate to have a full investigation on that.

111
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: Do you think that's grandstanding or show voting or just

112
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: trying to create a spectacle. I think that's a that

113
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: really ought to be looked into. Yeah, on what basis?

114
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: Though? What are we looking for? Violations of the law?

115
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: What law? Here's senile? How senile? Does it have to

116
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: be a violation of the law to have a congressional inquiry?

117
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: No? No, But that's what I'm asking. Why are we

118
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: doing this? What are we hoping to accomplish? Well, if

119
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: it's just too embarrassed democrats, I'm not for it. If

120
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: it's to let people know though, you don't get to

121
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: do this, You don't get to just lie at that

122
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: level and not be honest with the American people, you've

123
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: crossed the line, then I'm for it. Because they did

124
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: cross the line. They crossed the line, I would agree.

125
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: I just again, I'm not sure what we're doing here.

126
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: Condemning lying about senile presidents, I'm already there. And again

127
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: I'm not against this, I'm just not sure what shape

128
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: it would take anyway.

129
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: Ah.

130
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: So remember Vivek Murphy was that his name the woossy

131
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: don't do anything ever, Surgeon General under Biden, who's now gone,

132
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: thank goodness, along with the rest of that rabble. Ah,

133
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: he put out that you can't ever drink anything. It's

134
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: bad for you. Any level will raise your chance of

135
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,119
Speaker 1: this cancer from one in a million to one point

136
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: three in a million. And well, there's another giant study

137
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: that's coming out of this week. I think that that

138
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: is much more nuanced and different and says, yeah, for

139
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: if you're a low to moderate drinker, you're less likely

140
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: to die of all causes.

141
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. This reminds me now of.

142
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: The dueling coffee studies that our beloved old newsman Marshall

143
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: Phillips would bring us. Look, the more you drink, the

144
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: worse it is for your health. All right, don't drink

145
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: a lot, drink some. This is media reporting on media.

146
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: As we all know, cable news is really struggling worse

147
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: than you thought. CNN is laying off two hundred employees,

148
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: or they did yesterday as its TV audience continues to tank.

149
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: Here are some numbers Inauguration day coverage on CNN was

150
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: down eighty three percent compared to four years earlier. Woof,

151
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: Not only is Trump stronger than he's ever been, his

152
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: political career may well have killed legacy media, says Clay

153
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: Travis of Travis and Buck, who replaced Rush Limbaugh. As

154
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: you know, that is quite a drop eighty three percent.

155
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: I mean, I realized it wasn't their boy Biden getting inaugurated,

156
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: it was Trump. But that's quite the best. They must

157
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: have had hundreds of people watching nationwide. I think getting

158
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: back to Biden's senility, I think the damage done to

159
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: people and institutions who were in on the scam that

160
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: Biden is sharp and he's not senile, and inflation is

161
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: it's been Trump caused it and it's transitory and it's

162
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: not that bad, and the economy is great, and don't

163
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: believe your eyes and ears believe us. I think they

164
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: did themselves fatal damage. I think CNN is a poster

165
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: child for that. Yeah, they may kill themselves and good, Yeah,

166
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: oh it's too bad. eBay sellers are listing iPhones with

167
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: TikTok already installed for thousands of dollars for anybody out

168
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: there who I don't know who wanted TikTok but didn't

169
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: download it before. I don't quite understand who the what

170
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: the market is on that, or don't understand that it's

171
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: the the upkeep, the updates to the app that are

172
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: going to be the problem. Having the app is not

173
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: really the problem. Okay, but you know buyer b ware.

174
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: A pay penalty is keeping men out of classrooms. According

175
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: to the Wall Street journals Matt Barnam and Paul Overberg,

176
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: it's funny a pay penalty because teachers make less than

177
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: the average male profession. It's interesting how and this is

178
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: clearly written from a fairly progressive point of view, although

179
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: it makes some great points about male teachers are much

180
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: less likely to see boys acting like boys is somehow

181
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: a problem the way you know women are more likely

182
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: to And I want to get off on that tangent

183
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: because that's soon to be the main point. But I

184
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: like the way they call the fact that a certain

185
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: profession makes less than another one a pay penalty, as

186
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: if it's somehow unjust and harsh and unfair, the way

187
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: all progressives look at economics like a price is of

188
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: value judgment, and we should all decide how much should

189
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: the bacon cost.

190
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not the way it works, you know.

191
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: I was saying about this the other day when I

192
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: was watching my son, he plays drums in the drumline,

193
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: and they're playing at the high school basketball game, and

194
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: how many of the like practically all the teacher were there,

195
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: and just thinking what a vocation that is as opposed

196
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: to a job. When you're a teacher somewhere and just

197
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, how much of your life you have to

198
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: give to it because you teach all day and they

199
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 1: go to all the events. If you go to anything

200
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: with your school, as you know, you know all the

201
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: teachers are there, and the number of hours you would

202
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: have to put in to do that.

203
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: It's really impressive. It is.

204
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: Indeed now most teachers get the summer off, or at

205
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: least a substantial part is that there are trade offs,

206
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: and is free human beings. They can make whatever choice

207
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: they want. It's not a pay penalty. It's the pros

208
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: and cons.

209
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 4: Oh.

210
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: I wasn't making the argument they aren't paid enough. I

211
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 2: think they are.

212
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,599
Speaker 1: I just thought that that's something, you know, because I

213
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind teaching high school history. I wouldn't want to

214
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: go to all the girls high school basketball. I gotta admit, yeah,

215
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, I know. I'm not arguing with you.

216
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm just just getting back to the gist of the

217
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: article here. The thing that I did appreciate partly was

218
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: the ideas that, well, we've gone from roughly one in three,

219
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: almost one in three teachers being male in the seventies

220
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: and eighties to fewer than one in four now, and

221
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: that is a problem. And they make the point that

222
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: men are less likely than women to look at a

223
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: boy's natural boyish behavior as a problem and expect little

224
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: boys to sit there like little girls and behave like

225
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: little girls. It's awful and just it's towering stupidity. How

226
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: many you expect? How many men men are in teaching

227
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: in the modern world as opposed to the document? What

228
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: does that mean? You know exactly what it means. I

229
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: just I'm shocked at what you're trying to imply. Noah,

230
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: is there are money of manly men are teachers?

231
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: Not as many as used to be. I don't think.

232
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot more of the men. Go ahead, Katie,

233
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: say what you got to say. I you've silenced me.

234
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: I just I think it's I think it's a lot

235
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: of the men crowd that get into teaching now are

236
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: the I'm kind of ashamed of being a man. I

237
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: really wish I was a woman, and I'm go along

238
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: with whatever women want and think. Certainly not the great

239
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: male teachers who are listening now though, same time, friends

240
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: of Armstrong and Getdye, you have painted with a broadbrush, sir.

241
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 1: Now there are way fewer manly men in teaching now

242
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: than there ever were before. Garren freaking teed men in teaching. Yes,

243
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: mail bag at Armstrong and getdy dot com.

244
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 2: Yeah no kidding, I'm moon washing right now. We gotta

245
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 2: take a break. There's more of this I want to

246
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 2: get into. Stay with us, guys.

247
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: There was another brutally cold day across the country.

248
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: Wasn't it cold?

249
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: It was so cold in New York City on my

250
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: way into work, I sat in my uber driver's lap.

251
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: You guys, the time of year in the city. I

252
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 2: like to play a fun game called guess which bottleby

253
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 2: fluid made that patch of ice that one has his

254
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: inn pouch in it. Holy cell growsed.

255
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: So, getting back to the discussion of teachers and pay

256
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. The thing that bothered me

257
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: about this article, A couple of things did, but they

258
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: mention that what's the specific quote that men would be

259
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: less likely to see rambunctious boys as a problem.

260
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: You know, boys just acting like boys, right right?

261
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: And although I have a point to make, here's a

262
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: quote not that I think about. Maybe it does surprise

263
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: me how many teachers or parents, if you've raised boys,

264
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: whether you're a man or a woman, you know what

265
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: boys are like. Well, yeah, give me a second, we're

266
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: getting there. So this guy says he thinks he's successful

267
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: with boys because he doesn't write them off as rambunctious

268
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: or hyperactive, but he sees them fully as students in

269
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: humans who may express their needs differently than girls. Well

270
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: that is self evidently true. But how the hell is

271
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: that some sort of insight that's worthy of even noticing?

272
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: That's what you do for a living. Now I'm not

273
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: yelling at this guy, I'm yelling at everybody else. You

274
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: teach young human males and females. That is your job,

275
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: it's your mission in life. It's what you do. How

276
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: can you not know that little boys behave differently than

277
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: little girls because of their way they're made?

278
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: How is that some sort of insight that's shocking.

279
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: Oh I'm supposed to talk into this end of the

280
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: microphone I discover in the twenty third year of my

281
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: radio career.

282
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 2: No, that would make me a freaking moron, or.

283
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: Or, in the case of the teachers, and this is

284
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: the root of the problem, a political extremist, a nutjob,

285
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: somebody who goes around talking about toxic masculinity, who thinks

286
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: boys will be boys is an expression that's meant to

287
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: excuse sexual assault. No, that's not what that expression means,

288
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: or any of the things you see is negative about

289
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: boys are well one a flaw and two it's something

290
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: that they learned through our wrong society and can be

291
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: the patriarchy can be corrected out of them. I was

292
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: thinking about somebody I heard the other day, real nice person,

293
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: I really like, but they're talking about how their young

294
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: son was running around at the playground with sticks with

295
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: some other boys, pretending to shoot each other.

296
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: And she thought, Oh my god, where have I gone wrong?

297
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: I just I was trying to think, what have I

298
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: done that would lead him to think that that was okay,

299
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: That's what.

300
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 2: I'm talking faking talking about. Oh my lord, Oh, I

301
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 2: am so troubled by that.

302
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: I have my society gets so far off track and

303
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: to have the outward whatever five percent in terms of

304
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: attitudes in this country be seventy five to ninety percent

305
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: of teachers, that's a scary thing.

306
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: That's not healthy.

307
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: If you've got any comment on any of that, because

308
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,240

00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: to release the files on the Kennedy assassination and the

312
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: MLK assassination. Which brings me to wanting to talk a

313
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: little bit about MLK Junior. His birthday was Monday, and

314
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: we didn't get around to it. There's a big thing

315
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: happening in two years that needs to be discussed.

316
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 2: As a nation. Armstrong and geddy.

317
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 5: He has been urged by a number of people, but

318
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 5: especially Robert F. Kennedy Junior, that he he should release everything,

319
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 5: he should make everything public.

320
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: You know, Robert F.

321
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 5: Kennedy Junior has privately told a number of people, and

322
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 5: he has you know, alluded to this publicly that he

323
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 5: believes that there is, you know, some information that the

324
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 5: government has that the government had some role in what

325
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 5: happened to his uncle. You know, his father was also assassinated,

326
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 5: and so I think that that is why President Trump

327
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 5: is going ahead with this yet.

328
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: Trump's going to release information that previously hasn't been reliefed

329
00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: about the JFK assassination, RFK assassination, LKA Junior assassination, which

330
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: I like we were talking about earlier. I don't think

331
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: is gonna be major blockbusters. I just don't like the

332
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: idea of the government keeping secrets. It's better better we

333
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: hang onto this. I just did that tendency of the government.

334
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: Is not good.

335
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: And as we learned with Biden, Obama, and Trump and

336
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: all their top secret documents that they keep around, there's

337
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: just way too many top secret things that don't.

338
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 2: We're the government. You don't.

339
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: You don't get to keep everything secret all the time

340
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: forever just because you're you're better off that you have

341
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: the information.

342
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 2: I've never liked that.

343
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: Last night, I was running back and forth. My oldest

344
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: son was upstairs doing a paper on the civil rights

345
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: movement for some class in school.

346
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: He's in high school, and.

347
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: Then my youngest was doing math, and I was running

348
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: back and forth helping them. Multiplied decimals and I going

349
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: up to help that going down there, and at some

350
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: point I said, hey, you're wearing me out with this.

351
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: I think you can handle this on your own. Henry,

352
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: my thirteen year old, said, you're a parent. You signed

353
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: up for this. This is what parents do. They help

354
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: their kids with their homework.

355
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 2: Wow, what the hell?

356
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: Anyway? For better or worse? I hope for better at

357
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: least over time. The idea that my son was working

358
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: on a paper about the civil rights movement came up

359
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: while we were eating, and then I and then I

360
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: went off on a long rant as I often do,

361
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: about the civil rights movement and MLK Junior and a

362
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: whole bunch of different things, asking them, well, which part

363
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: of it you think you're going to write about this?

364
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:36,239
Speaker 2: And this and this.

365
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: And I'm in the midst of reading yet another MLK

366
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: Junior biography, the one that came out last year won

367
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: the Pulser Prize for Biography. And it's really great and

368
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: one of the reasons. First of all, it's really well written,

369
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: like it's got a real it's not dry, it's not

370
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: like a textbook. It's written with a little more drama

371
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 1: than that. But there's so many things to Trump releasing

372
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: those files, that files that have come out since the

373
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: last major MLK Junior biography, and so we now know

374
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: more about what was going on with him with the government,

375
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: between him and the government and everything like that, and

376
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: we need to know all that stuff right right, more

377
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: on that second, as you know, and I'm sure you're

378
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: getting there, and there's going to be some rough stuff too.

379
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, in those directions.

380
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm more thinking about the FBI ought to come

381
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: in for a kicking. But before we get to that,

382
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: one part of the book I thought was really interesting.

383
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: So as I was pointing not to my son because

384
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: he was going to do the Montgomery bus boycott, really

385
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: the first giant civil rights thing that happened and started

386
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: in fifty five went through fifty six.

387
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 2: That's the Rosa Parks story. If you know what. MLK Jr.

388
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 2: Was twenty six, twenty six.

389
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: Years old, and I've always found it interesting he'd had

390
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: no interest in being a civil rights leader. Zero wasn't

391
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: on his mind at all. He just wanted to be

392
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: He had his Phdology and he got this church with

393
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: the help of his dad that he was a minister

394
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: at in his twenties and he's got a wife and

395
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: kids and he just wanted to do that. He had

396
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: no interest. Even after the Rosa Parks thing happened. He

397
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: wasn't thinking I'm gonna lead this. He had no interest whatsoever.

398
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: They have their first big meeting after Rosa Parks. He

399
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: gets arrested on the bus and if you don't know

400
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, I don't even know why you're listening.

401
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: But uh, they have their first big meeting and all

402
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: the ministers are there and you know how we're gonna

403
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: handle this some like and the guy that wanted to

404
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: be the leader, the aggressive, you know, alpha, I'm gonna

405
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,239
Speaker 1: be in charge of this sort of thing, gave this

406
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: long winded speech in which people started filing out of

407
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: the church. They were so bored, and they are all

408
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: the other ministers standing around said we can't let him

409
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: be in charge. This is just not gonna work. He

410
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: goes on forever and he just nobody's interested in what

411
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 1: he has to say. And eventually somebody asked MLK to

412
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: speak because they thought he was a pretty good speaker.

413
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: And I don't want to do this. I got to

414
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: get home, you know that sort of thing. But he

415
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: started talking, and it caught on and it grew from there.

416
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: But wow, greatness thrust upon him, as they say now,

417
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: and he emerged as a national figure within months of

418
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: I got to get home. I don't even want to

419
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: be a part of this. He's on the cover of

420
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: Time magazine and meet with President Eisenhower and stuff, so

421
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: then it's off to the races. But I thought that

422
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: was interesting. Everybody knows his big sixty three Lincoln Memorial

423
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: speech where there's half a million people there, the I

424
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: have a dream speech.

425
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 2: But he gave a speech in fifty seven.

426
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: After the Montgomery bus boycott, also at the Lincoln Memorial.

427
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: And I'll just read from the new book because I

428
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: thought this was pretty interesting. He stood atop the stairs

429
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: of the Lincoln Memorial wearing a clergyman's robe over his

430
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: suit and tie, facing the biggest audience of his life.

431
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: Estimated it somewhere between fifteen twenty seven thousand. His voice

432
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: rang like a deep bell. One felt it as he

433
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: heard it. So that was the biggest crowd he'd ever

434
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: spoken before at that point fifteen thousand, having no idea

435
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: that a few years later he'd be talking to half

436
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: a million and be one of the most famous speeches ever.

437
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: Bayard Rustin, if you read any civil rights stuff, is

438
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: really the key guide to the whole thing. He should

439
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: have giant statues every year everywhere. Everybody should know him.

440
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: The only reason he's not a household name because he

441
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: wrote almost all the speeches that King and everyone else

442
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: gave or had a hand in writing them. He organized

443
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: all this stuff. But he was gay, so they had

444
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: to hide him behind everything all the time because he

445
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: had been arrested in Pasadena, California for having sex with

446
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: a dude when being gay was against the law, and

447
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: so they had to hide him from everything, even though

448
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: he was the driving force behind almost everything. Fascinating figure.

449
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: But Rustin was watching the speech that he had helped write.

450
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: Russell was impressed, but also puzzled. There's nothing extraordinary in

451
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: the text of the speech. Rustin had written his speech.

452
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: King didn't like it, rewrote it, and Russell was like,

453
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: this is cramp. You can't go out there and say this.

454
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: This is sets got no this or that. And in

455
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: MLK just saw it. Yeah, but it sounds better when

456
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: I say it. So Russell was figuring out why had

457
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: this worked. King had moved his listeners to rapture black

458
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: and white listener listeners, this is the part I really liked,

459
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: and I want to Trump's got some of this. Years later,

460
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: scholars would analyze the elements of King's speeches and conclude

461
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: that he employed many of the same skills as the

462
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: finest professional singers he can. He controlled his tempo, picking

463
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: up speed in a way that made his audience feel

464
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: as if they were moving with him, as if they

465
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: wanted to sing along. He used harmonics, varying his pitch

466
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: to make his speech melodic and never monotonous, and he

467
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: controlled his rhythm masterfully, pausing when he wanted his audience

468
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: to contemplate his words, and repeating phrases without pause when

469
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: he wanted listeners.

470
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 2: To feel those same words.

471
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: The idea of the delivery, the showbiz of it, being

472
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: more important than the text of it, I find interesting,

473
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: or at the very least, understanding that the tune is

474
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: what gets the words into people's heads. If you will

475
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:52,959
Speaker 1: could be and then if you can combine both, if

476
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: you can combine great words with the mastery of delivery,

477
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: and I suppose that's when you have the one hundred

478
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: percent home run. And I have a dream people play

479
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: it for sixty years.

480
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 2: Speech.

481
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean lyrics and musical lyrics are much

482
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 1: easier to remember if they're tied to a great melody.

483
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 2: In fact, you can't forget them if you want it,

484
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 2: no doubt.

485
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: I just think it's interesting that the guy right now

486
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: the speeches was watching people react to his speech and thinking,

487
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: why is this working though it's not.

488
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 2: A very good speech, because people are really into it.

489
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sorry, I see everything through the lens of music,

490
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: but I've run into people. There are people who are

491
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,239
Speaker 1: better musicians and quote unquote better composers of music, but

492
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: they don't connect to people like this other guy can.

493
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: So Yeah, that's such an interesting relationship. Fascinating to me

494
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: is both a professional speaker and a guy who loves music.

495
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: But even at the age of twenty seven to twenty eight,

496
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: it gets in the book nobody's exactly sure when King

497
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 1: when Martin started cheating on his wife, started running around

498
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: having the affairs, nobody's exactly sure, but he did. And

499
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: then they specify how into morality he was, and how

500
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: many of his sermons to his congregation we're all about morality.

501
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: And he wrote a column for Essence magazine for a

502
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: long time, often lecturing people about the importance of being

503
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: faithful and all that sort of stuff.

504
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 2: And the author of.

505
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: This New king a life book includes a private conversation

506
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: that I don't think anybody had ever seen before.

507
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 2: It might be one of the recorded FBI tapes. Actually,

508
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 2: ill bet it is.

509
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,719
Speaker 1: I'll bet that's where it came from, when they were

510
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: recording all his phone calls, where he's telling a friend

511
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: about how everybody, all of us, have something evil in us,

512
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: and we're all a mixture of good and bad. And

513
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: he said, I feel like sometimes like I'm a doctor Jekro,

514
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: mister Hyde, and it almost makes me crazy trying to

515
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: figure out which part of me is the real part,

516
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff.

517
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 2: Even he was dealing with that.

518
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: In his own mind, you know, being the great moral

519
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: leader of the country while he's running around on his wife.

520
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: Sure that was part of why I had that owned spine,

521
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: because I had even came up as we were driving

522
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: in the car, I mentioned the FBI spying on him

523
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: and recording all of his affairs. The FBI j Edgar

524
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: Hooper would put microphones in the hotel rooms and record

525
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: MLK Junior having sex, and they have hours and hours

526
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,719
Speaker 1: and hours of him, you know, bang inside pieces if

527
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: I could be coarse, and there are hours and hours

528
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: hours of that audio that's going to come out in

529
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: two years, by the way. But so my youngest said,

530
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: so he was a bad guy, and I said, no, No,

531
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: he wasn't a bad guy. But then we got into

532
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: the you know the complexity of human nature and just

533
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: there's good and bad in everybody, and there's percentages and

534
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: degrees and it's it's all complicated, fascinating stuff. Yeah, the

535
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: whole fidelity sex thing. I mean, there are all sorts

536
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: of different ways to judge it, and not sure if

537
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: any of them are right or any of them are wrong.

538
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: But I get the idea of somebody who understands the

539
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,959
Speaker 1: moral issue with clarity and is too weak to do

540
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: what's right.

541
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean he doesn't understand right. So there's

542
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 2: two kinds.

543
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: Does that make him a hypocrit or does that just

544
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: make him weak or just a human being?

545
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, I don't know.

546
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: Well, there's also the crowd, as we know, that believes

547
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: fidelity is ridiculous and that's just not the way we're built,

548
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: and so they don't have a moral problem with it,

549
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: but he, since he was lecturing the congregation about it,

550
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: did think it was a problem, as you're saying, and

551
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: still did it anyway. But anyway, so in two years,

552
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: and have been saying this for years. It was far

553
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: off in the distance. But now we're just two years

554
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: away twenty twenty seven, all those audio tapes are going

555
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: to come out, or they're supposed to come out, unless

556
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if the President would sign an executive order,

557
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: you know, President j d Vance twenty seven trumpets the Yeah.

558
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: So I don't know if I'm willing, if Trump will

559
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: stop him from coming out or what. But I'm not

560
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: so much interested in the it'd be embarrassing to MLK JR.

561
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: I think most people are into MLK JR. No, he

562
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: was cheating on his wife, and I.

563
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 2: Think it's more interesting that the FBI.

564
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: Was spying on him the way he was with very

565
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: flimsy reason. And the guy who ordered that name is

566
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: on the FBI building. I think that should be more

567
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: of the discussion. That is ridiculous skipping to the end

568
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: part j Edgar Hoover Building. I mean, it's just crazy. Anyway,

569
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: here's a question and so I said, why were they

570
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: spying him? And I said, because they thought he was

571
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: a communist, or at least they claimed they thought he

572
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: was a communist.

573
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 2: He was not.

574
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: And there are always lots of communists in the left

575
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: wing movements, as I was explaining to my kids. So

576
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: that's something we were really worried about all the time,

577
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: because there were tons of communists in the civil rights movement.

578
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 2: MLK Junior was not a communist, right, So is the.

579
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: Release of the tapes a little bit like the release

580
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: of a nine to one to one call, though, where

581
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: just give me the substance of it. I don't need

582
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: to hear the actual thing for my entertainment.

583
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 2: It's funny. I was just talking a little bit ago.

584
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: You know, Trump signing the executive order around the assassinations.

585
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: Let us know, you don't get to hide this stuff.

586
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: On the other one, the MLK June, I don't see

587
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: how that benefits anybody.

588
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 2: Why do we need to audio?

589
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially if you, if you would to decide, the

590
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: FBI shouldn't have been recording him in the first place.

591
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 2: Exactly. Yeah, that troubles me too.

592
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: And just one thing, this one undred percent certain, is

593
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: the reaction of those tapes will be disappointing and idiotic

594
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: all the way around if they are actually released on

595
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: all fronts. And of course, with this nugget before I

596
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: take a break, then j Edgar Hoover sends a letter

597
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: to MLK Junior, who we have a road named after

598
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: in every city and had a national holiday on Monday,

599
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: A guy we have a national holiday for. The FBI

600
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: director sent a letter to him saying, you better kill

601
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: yourself or I'm gonna give these tapes to your wife?

602
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? And that guy's name is on

603
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: the FBI building. That's what should be discussed. Incredible anyway,

604
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: any comment on that text line four one KFTC. We're

605
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: gonna be targeting some extremely violent offenders today.

606
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 4: The White House is reacting tonight to Fox News is

607
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 4: exclusive MBED with ICE deportation officers in the sanctuary city

608
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 4: of Boston.

609
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 2: I'm not going back to Hayden, you feel me.

610
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 4: During that MBED, we witnessed Ice arresting this combative Haitian man,

611
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 4: who I says is a gang member with seventeen criminal convictions,

612
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 4: and he had this to say.

613
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 2: You feel me, go fighting forever?

614
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 4: Bro.

615
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 2: Thank Obama for everything that he picked for me. Both

616
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 2: they speak English and Haiti some people do apparently.

617
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: Well, he's been in the country long enough to accumulate

618
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: seventeen convictions and he hasn't been deported.

619
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 2: What sort of insanity is that?

620
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to get hung up on that,

621
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,960

642
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:11,400

Speaker 1: armed robberies they took part in.

650
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 2: And again, it just it.

651
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: It's beyond comprehension that any administration would allow violent.

652
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 2: Gang member rapists in the country. I legal in his state.

653
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: I just I feel like I have lost my mind

654
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: that it actually happened.

655
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 2: Gutfeldt had a joke. Let's hear that as.

656
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: Ice hauled off a Haitian gang member, he said, f

657
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: Trump bide in forever.

658
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 2: Sorry, that wasn't a Haitian gang member. That was Jill Biden.

659
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 2: They all think, get confused, that was a non joke.

660
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,959
Speaker 2: This will take a real doctor. By the way, This.

661
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 1: Will take quite a while though, so they're at five hundred.

662
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: They're really only a couple of days in. I don't

663
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: know if it will pick up speed or if it's

664
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: going to go at about this pace. To arrest the

665
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: illegals with criminal records, there are seven hundred thousand of

666
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 1: them that take a long time to get through. There's

667
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: tremendous public support, as we've been saying, eighty five percent

668
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: of Americans are in agreement with this.

669
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 2: It's not controversial at all.

670
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: But once you get through this and you start to

671
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 1: get to the you know, the family it's been picking

672
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: strawberries in your county for the last ten years, then

673
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: it's going to get a little more difficult, right, And

674
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: I think this will be self regulating because by the

675
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: time we get down to, you know, the dad whose

676
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: family has been picking strawberries and Monterey Forerans, is that

677
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: sort of thing who was once arrested for public drunkenness

678
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: or you know, that sort of minor offense. I think

679
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: the will to keep it going will diminish. I just

680
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: think it has its own set of breaks. It'll be fine.

681
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 2: Interesting, could be.

682
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, we haven't talked about the meme coin Trump launched.

683
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about this barely. I just saw

684
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 2: the headlines. It's not great.

685
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: I want to discuss with you briefly what Tom Brady

686
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: said about quarterbacks running in the NFL, because that really

687
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: could play a role in the dangerous GAGN
