Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the

00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm

00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: Strong and Jetty and Hee Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: Furry bodies, wide eyes and a truthy grint reselling for

5
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: hundreds of dollars and now a very obvious target.

6
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: My little boob who got stolen.

7
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: Someone stole my lab Boo Boo, La Boo boo, the

8
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: summer's most sought after toy at the center of a

9
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 2: crime wave in southern California. The theft amount to tens

10
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: of thousands of dollars, the latest in Chino, valued at

11
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: approximately thirty grand.

12
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 3: The fact that, you know, some people think that, hey,

13
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 3: it's just la Boo Boo's No, you know, it's more.

14
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: It's it's an organized retail theft.

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 4: You know. Uh, it's so liberating to be able to

16
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 4: just ignore crazies. You know, you just choose not to

17
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 4: be involved.

18
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: Right.

19
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 4: I'm not into organized crime, as that person says there.

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 4: It's about organized crime rings and we need to worry

21
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 4: about that and crack down on them.

22
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: But in terms of it's a huge problem in cal Unicorney,

23
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: especially in terms.

24
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 4: Of the craze of labuboos. If you just decide, you know,

25
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 4: I don't. I'm not going to participate.

26
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: I don't care.

27
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 4: It's over for you. You don't need to want for one,

28
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 4: you don't need to shop for one.

29
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: You just it's over.

30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 4: I was listening to a podcast yesterday, actually the Dispatch podcast,

31
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 4: which is very informative about the whole redistricting argument, and

32
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 4: they hit me with some stats and had a conversation,

33
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 4: and I thought, I've been thinking this for years. I

34
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 4: watched the Sunday talk shows pretty regularly. They used to

35
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 4: matter a lot. I don't think they matter much anymore,

36
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 4: although they probably do have outweighed influence on other politicians

37
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 4: in DC. They probably watch Meet the Press and Face

38
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 4: the Nation even if you don't, and it has an

39
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 4: impact on their conversation among themselves. But the Republicans have

40
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 4: always been bad at pushing back. I don't think there's

41
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 4: ever been a public and is good as Nancy Pelosi,

42
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 4: for instance, and going on those shows and be loaded

43
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 4: with loaded with facts and figures and a spin on

44
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 4: their story and be willing to just reject the narrative

45
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 4: framework that they use to frame every topic right, just

46
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 4: question their very premises, be friendly but aggressive. Margaret Brennan

47
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 4: is not going to hurt you. You can go ahead

48
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 4: and argue with her.

49
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

50
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's because they got to live

51
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 4: in Washington, DC and so many of their friends or

52
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 4: Dems and they don't want to be like, you know,

53
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 4: the skunk at the party, nobody wants to hang around

54
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 4: or whatever.

55
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, but.

56
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 4: The big redistricting thing, So Texas is going to redistrict

57
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 4: in the uh middle of the decade, which is not common,

58
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 4: but legally they can do it. States decide they're what

59
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 4: they're going to do redistricting wise, the federal government has said, hey,

60
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 4: you do you which is the way we want to

61
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 4: build our country as opposed to have the federal government

62
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 4: make these decisions.

63
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: And Texas can do this legally.

64
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 4: So they're gonna redistrict based on the last census and

65
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 4: get five more Republican House seats most likely. And then

66
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 4: of course says you know, if you've been following the

67
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 4: story at all, the Democrats took off left the state

68
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 4: and have been claiming Hitler Nazi jerrymandering crap, and the

69
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 4: mainstream media is bought into it. One hundred percent and

70
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 4: left out the fact that Democrats have been jerrymandering two

71
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 4: for a very long time.

72
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: There's a whole bunch of example.

73
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 4: They ran to Illinois and better, they're better at They're

74
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 4: better have been.

75
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: Better at it.

76
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 4: The Democrats in Texas ran to Illinois, which is one

77
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 4: of the most jerrymandered states in the entire country. That

78
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 4: woman that clip we had the other day, I should

79
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 4: have had to grab it. Who called Trump at Timu Hitler,

80
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 4: which is pretty clever. She is in like the third

81
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 4: most jerrymandered district in the entire country. Looks like a

82
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 4: snake winding around through things to make sure she can

83
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: stay in a safe seat anyway. Oh and a woman

84
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 4: from governor Massachusetts said the other day, we are gonna

85
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: have to fight back. They're gonna play dirty. We're gonna

86
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 4: have to play dirty. Massachusetts completely jerrymandered.

87
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: They have no.

88
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 4: Republicans in the state whatsoever. So I don't know how

89
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 4: you're gonna fight back. There's nothing you can do. You've

90
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: already maxed for Republican congress people. Yeah, you know, Republican

91
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 4: congress people, even though they probably have I didn't look

92
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 4: it up, but probably at least a third of the

93
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 4: people in the state are Republicans. He got no representation

94
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 4: whatsoever because you jerry mandered. I didn't know this until

95
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 4: I heard it on the dispatch. Once you get north

96
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 4: of New York, there are no Republican congressmen because every

97
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 4: state is so jerrymandered, not one north of New York,

98
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 4: with all those states going toward the border, which is incredible.

99
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 4: Texas was a democratic state for forty years if you're

100
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 4: old enough or no history to know before it flipped

101
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 4: a red back in the day, but it was a

102
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 4: democratic state for forty years.

103
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: And they jerry mandered the crap.

104
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 4: Out of that state to have the maximum number of

105
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 4: Democrats and as few Republicans possible.

106
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: When they were in charge.

107
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 4: But now that the Republicans are in charge, them doing

108
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 4: it now you're hitler, Now you're anti Teleco.

109
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: We were losing our democracy, right.

110
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 4: But there was pretty interesting conversation that the history of

111
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 4: this isn't all. Doesn't always turn out the way you

112
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 4: hope it do. You get a short term game gain,

113
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 4: but you can end up with like a next cycle,

114
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 4: real disaster because you, by definition weakened a lot of

115
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 4: your districts so you have a very very solid say

116
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 4: in this case, if you're the Democrats jerry mandering, you

117
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 4: have a very solid Democratic You got to a Democrat

118
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 4: who's winning by thirty points in election, it's not even close. Well,

119
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 4: then you take chunks of that person's out to try

120
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 4: to get more Democratic seats, and all of a sudden,

121
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 4: you're plus ten because you've had to, you know, mix

122
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 4: it up a little bit. You're still gonna win. Well,

123
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 4: then you get one one of those wave elections where

124
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 4: people are unhappy with the current power and you can

125
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 4: get flipped upside down really fast. And historically there's lots

126
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 4: of examples of that happening, right right, that's interesting.

127
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, you borrow from your seats, safe enough, we're gonna

128
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: borrow fifteen percent of your voters they need to help

129
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: over there.

130
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 4: I'm pretty soon you get it down to where you're

131
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 4: winning by eight instead of thirty. And uh yeah, it

132
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 4: doesn't take much of a wave for things to go

133
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 4: south for you. And it's happened for both teams quite

134
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 4: a few times. So that's what California would be in

135
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: danger of to get to squeeze out five more Democratic

136
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 4: seats in California they're gonna have to water down a

137
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 4: whole bunch of Democratic House seats.

138
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,679
Speaker 1: Well, and I'm not sure that's going to happen, partly

139
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: because I've just read this email from alert listener Mike,

140
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: absolutely terrific note about the state of cal Unicornia. The

141
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: California Assembly quietly posted a public comment page to their

142
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: terrible redistricting idea they just cooked up, but there are

143
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: no details. There are no maps, which is like word

144
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: for word against the California Constitution. Asking for public comment

145
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: while not publishing the actual maps is unconstitutionally goes into

146
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: the article of the constitution specifically mandates public input processes

147
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: that require maps and data would be publicly available, has

148
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: a specific timeline and notice requirements. California State constitution prohibits

149
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: the state from taking any redistricting action mid cycle that

150
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: is not consistent with the clear timeline established by the

151
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: voters in an initiative in twenty ten, which past state

152
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: constitution prohibits the state legislature from being involved in any

153
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: map creation or map adoption. Instead, the state vest this

154
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: authority solely with the independent Citizens Redistricting Commission, which is imperfect,

155
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: but it's better than the legislators, and he goes into

156
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: the chapter and verse of the Constitution and the law,

157
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: every article, every item and sub item. It's incredibly well researched.

158
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 4: An Article twenty one, Section two item of the State

159
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 4: Constitution reads quotes Districts shall not be drawn for the

160
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 4: purpose of favoring or discriminating against an incumbent political candidate

161
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 4: or political party. And he says, if this is a

162
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,239
Speaker 4: Democratic Party power grab er, if you try to act,

163
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 4: it will go badly for you, badly in the courts.

164
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 4: I don't think they're actually going to go very far

165
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 4: down this road. I think Gavey is just Gaviy Newsom

166
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 4: is just desperate to establish as bona fides is the

167
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 4: great fighting Democrat who's going to take on the Timo

168
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 4: Hitler Trump.

169
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: And they understand that we have a timo' hitler and

170
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: the White House.

171
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 4: Right now, this story's off the front page for now,

172
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 4: and it might be off for.

173
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: Good and you'll never hear it about it again.

174
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 4: Out of Gavin Newsom, it was just a great I'm

175
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 4: the leader of this charge and it worked for him.

176
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: It was pointed out by.

177
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 4: The political pros that it did give the Democrats something

178
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 4: to talk about for like at least a week and

179
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 4: maybe longer, depending on how things go. Where they didn't

180
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 4: have anything to talk about. That was you know, that

181
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 4: was a concern of Democrats. What have we got to

182
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 4: run on? I mean, we're just getting killed everywhere? And

183
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 4: this kind of bailed out a lot of Democrats with

184
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 4: something to talk about.

185
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are kind of desperate. I mean it was

186
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: just yesterday I heard I can't remember what the topic

187
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: because it is and it really doesn't matter, but some

188
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: big name Democrat was saying, you're just doing that to

189
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: distract from the Epstein mess. And I'm like, nobody's talking

190
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: about that, right, what are you talking about? Well, on

191
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: the other hand, Jack, I saw quite the demonstration against

192
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: the Texas redistricting. I wonder what percentage of those people

193
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: were paid to be there? Inside the crowd rental industry,

194
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: you've heard about this, You've wondered, is that true?

195
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's one hundred percent true. Wow, I want

196
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 4: to rent a crowd. I want to hear about this.

197
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 4: So lots on the way stay here, bun.

198
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 5: Lows, can someone help us catch the bird flying around

199
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 5: in here?

200
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: American eagle? So we're gonna lay low for a bit.

201
00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: Baskin Robbins.

202
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 5: You'll find us inside Duncan, which is inside of Pizza Hut,

203
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 5: which is inside of Nathan's Auto designer shoe warehouse. One

204
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 5: of these things is true, and it's not designer or

205
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 5: a shoe.

206
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: Boy. We don't want to jinx it. But it's been

207
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: a while since, you know.

208
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 5: Right, Wow, Paramount plus stears you can.

209
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 4: Watch Wow, Wow, Now that was clever.

210
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: The American eagle one? Is that just the perception on

211
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: the left? Oh, American eagle got shamed? And man, I'll

212
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: bet they're laying low now. No, they're not not at all.

213
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 4: Nobody bought that Sydney sweety as a eugenicist crap.

214
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: We're laughing at it.

215
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 4: Jimmy, I like, Low's could somebody help us catch this bird?

216
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? But who is uttering those words? Oh there are

217
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: no employees? Yeah, I got it. Remember anyway, I thought

218
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: this was so interesting. Jack and I have joked about

219
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: this both on and off the air for a very

220
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: long time. You have a protest wherever, whatever topic, and

221
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: number one you have the news camera is pressed in

222
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: close enough always to have the crowd fill the frame.

223
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: And so whether it's one hundred people or forty or

224
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: seven they fill the frame, so it looks like a

225
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: significant protest. Okay, that's old hat. You probably know that already.

226
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: Second thing I always like to point out is that

227
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, you'll have people chatting on the steps of say,

228
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: the capital of California, not far from the radio ranch,

229
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: demanding that Gavin Newsom let boys compete in girls' sports, right,

230
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: And I like to compare the size of those crowds

231
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: to the size of the crowd at your local little

232
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: league game last night. It is usually pretty similar standing

233
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: around watching thirteen year olds run around bases. That number

234
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: of people was there at an individual little league game.

235
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 4: So why am I seeing this exactly? And now this

236
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 4: third factor?

237
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: And boy, the left does love to demonstrate and chant

238
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: in March especially, and the right doesn't do it but

239
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: and show me their toes dirty footed hippies. Anyway, this

240
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: is so interesting. This sort of thing used to just

241
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: exists in the shadows, I guess. And I had heard

242
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: about it and was intrigued by it. But a couple

243
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: of times I brought it up and people have acted

244
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: like I'm nuts. That is rent to crowds. But the

245
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: CEO of the biggest rent a crowd company in Washington,

246
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: d C. Which is the national capital of rent a crowds.

247
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's important in the industry. Adam Schwartz

248
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: is the CEO of Crowds on Demand and he did

249
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: an interview with Alexandria hoff Offox Digital qutie and said, yeah,

250
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: right now, inquiries in DC are up roughly four hundred

251
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: percent compared to the same period last year since Trump

252
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: announced he was going to take over policing in DC.

253
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: But so, how does this work?

254
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 4: Are you you give your email address, phone number to

255
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 4: somebody and then then they text you and say, hey,

256
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 4: Saturday at four o'clock, we need you to be at

257
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 4: the you know, down with Trump rally or the up

258
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 4: with this rally or whatever. Right, and the payment is

259
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 4: twenty three dollars an hour. Right, we need you there

260
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 4: for two hours. That's a certain kind of person. I mean,

261
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 4: how much would you have to get paid before you

262
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 4: would show? Drive over there, wait, get in line, grab

263
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 4: a sign, stand there for two hours.

264
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: It'd be a lot before. Well, yeah, but are you

265
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: asking current me or twenty three year old me? Twenty

266
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: three year old me, you'd be like, I didn't have

267
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: anything going anyway, yell, chant whatever the hell you want

268
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: for fifty bucks on a Saturday afternoon. So anyway, yeah,

269
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: giant skyrocket and demand. He told ms Hoff. The company

270
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: always sees a spike in requests during what mister Schwartz

271
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: calls quote.

272
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 4: High stakes political moments quote, A large share are focused.

273
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: Oh. Then he goes into a screen about how you

274
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: know people are worried about government over each On the

275
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: other hand, there's crime.

276
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 4: In DC, blah blah blah. I don't need your analysis, sir,

277
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 4: but he said, the vast majority of people at political

278
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 4: or advocacy events in DC are in some way paid.

279
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: The vast majority. Yes, Wow, a picture please, when the

280
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: Supreme Court is in session and you see thirty people

281
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: chanting on the steps of the Supreme Court wearing their

282
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: beautifully prepared, obviously professional placards. Hit Wawman's right, hands off

283
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: my body wawmans et, he said. Quote. Most people don't

284
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: know this, but many protesters are literally on the payroll.

285
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill staffers from both parties are expected to show

286
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: up at rallies and protests on their own time. It's

287
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: part of the job. So yes, most attendees are being

288
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: paid or are there because it's part of their job.

289
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 3: Why.

290
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean they don't support the cause, but it

291
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: does mean that these crowds aren't as organic as they

292
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: appear on TV. Well yeah, but the point of news

293
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: coverage of a protest is to tell you, look, how

294
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: many people are so passionately moved by this issue that

295
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: they took time out of their lives to travel here.

296
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah.

297
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 4: If all that last part is fake, took time out

298
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 4: of their lives to drive here because they're so passionate.

299
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 4: But if that's all fake, well then yeah, that's a

300
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 4: non story.

301
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: Well right, the unspoken part has always been part of

302
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: the message they're sending by showing you that protest. Uh huh.

303
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: These are average American citizens who are really fired up.

304
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: If they're this fired up, maybe you should pay attention

305
00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: to be fired up too.

306
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 6: Not.

307
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: Oh, a bunch of Capitol Hill staffers and paid people

308
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: who didn't know what they were protesting until they showed

309
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: up are now chanting badly semi in unison. Oh my, exactly.

310
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 4: So here's a whole bunch of young people who needed

311
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 4: beer money for a Friday night who showed up with

312
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 4: their placards handed to them. I don't even know what

313
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 4: the protests about, right right, that's very very interesting that

314
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 4: should be reported on more often.

315
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: I know, well, the mainstream media is never going to

316
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: do it because the chanting crowd. What is it with

317
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: chanting among you lefties and rhymes? If you can make

318
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: it rhyme, do you think that actually like moves hearts

319
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: and minds and votes? What if you just like laid

320
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: it out prose style. I'm just curious.

321
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 4: I'm seriously more chanting, No more chanting?

322
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: What do we want? Are you a time machine? When

323
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: do we want it? Irrelevant?

324
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 4: Or or are you yourself convinced by rhyming?

325
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: Do you find it so alluring, such a fish hook

326
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: that just set your upper lipt that you just can't

327
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: resist it? I don't get it.

328
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 4: We got a lot more on the way if you

329
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 4: missed the segment of the podcast Armstrong in Getty on demand.

330
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.

331
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 3: The spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry saying once again

332
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 3: that for them, this upcoming summit is not only going

333
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 3: to be about the conflict in Ukraine, but about other

334
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 3: issues as well, accumulated issues. As the Russians have said,

335
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 3: they're saying that they also wanted to talk about a

336
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 3: reset of US Russian relations and possible better business relations

337
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 3: in the future. So for them, they think that the

338
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 3: agenda could be broader. He also said that the Russian territory,

339
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 3: as he put it, is enthrined in Russia's constitution, which

340
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 3: seems to pour cold water on some of the things

341
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 3: that President Trump has said about territory possibly being swapped.

342
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 4: Okay, so that's the Russian point of view that this

343
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 4: is going to be about more than Russia Ukraine, as

344
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 4: Trump I have that mindset, or is he going to

345
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 4: walk in there with a no, no, no, no, none

346
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 4: of that other stuff. We're gonna have a ceasefire. You

347
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 4: are you willing to have a ceasefire?

348
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 5: Not?

349
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: And then, as I've been reporting all week, Yeah, they

350
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: are trying to make it part of a grand agreement.

351
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 4: Well do you think Trump will say we can talk

352
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 4: about that after you agree to the ceasefire or yeah.

353
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: I suspect you will, judging by his rhetoric lately. Yeah,

354
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,719
Speaker 1: so this is confumed he will also, though I suspect

355
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: be pretty intrigued by the idea.

356
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 4: This is confirmed now Wall Street General and others there

357
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 4: will be a press conference Trump and Putin standing side

358
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 4: by side taking questions from the media after this meeting tomorrow.

359
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 4: I can't imagine what that's gonna look like. Has that

360
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 4: ever happened? Can I think of it a time? I mean,

361
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 4: because at.

362
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: The early stages of negotiation during a bloody armed conflict.

363
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 4: Not even that. Putin's one of the worst people on

364
00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 4: the planet. He's bombing schools, in hospit bittles a press

365
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 4: conference where he stands there next to the President of

366
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 4: the United States as like an equal and takes questions

367
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 4: from the press. I'm trying to think of an example

368
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 4: of this.

369
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: No, I can't. I can't either. That's wild.

370
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 4: So they're good. They're gonna meet one on one. I

371
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 4: assume they'll have translators. But that's what just says there

372
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 4: one on one meeting in the Wall Street Journal. Now,

373
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 4: remember Putin and Zolynsky met completely alone there in the

374
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 4: Vatican when the Trump when they had the pope funeral.

375
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 4: Zelensky speaks English though Putin doesn't. Does Putin speak English?

376
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 4: I don't remember, just a tiny bit. So there have

377
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 4: to be translators. But anyway, so they're gonna meet one

378
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 4: on one. Then there's gonna be some sort of lunch

379
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 4: with delegations from both sides. And then as soon as

380
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 4: that lunch is over, Putin and Trump taken questions from

381
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 4: the media, and I God, this has an opportunity to

382
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 4: be some history making stuff depending on who says what

383
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 4: and how Trump reacts to it wide right. Yeah, I'm

384
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 4: going to try to be I don't know what time

385
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 4: of day that's gonna happen, but I'm gonna try to

386
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 4: be wherever I can to watch that twelve three thirty

387
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 4: Eastern time, three thirty Eastern time for what for the

388
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 4: meeting supposed last year? Who knows how long the meeting

389
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 4: is going to be? Is it going to be an

390
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 4: hour or three hours? And then they've got the lunch

391
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 4: which is two minutes, like topas said many times, right,

392
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 4: and then they get the lunch afterwards, which might be

393
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 4: an hour or three hours. So but that's good news, Michael.

394
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 4: That gives me at least a range for paying attention

395
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 4: to it. There'll be people reporting out of there like

396
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 4: crazy as soon as they can. I want to get

397
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 4: this on. I heard this yesterday. This is from the

398
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 4: reporting from the London Telegraph and some of the reporters

399
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 4: who are very pro Ukraine, but seem to be incredibly

400
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 4: fair reporters as they they will often point out downsides

401
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 4: to Ukraine or when when Russia seems to be winning

402
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 4: in that sort of thing. Zelensky is still mostly popular.

403
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 4: He took a dip there when they announced that the

404
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 4: government was gonna take he was going to take control

405
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 4: of the whole rooting out corruption thing, and there were

406
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 4: protests in the street. But then he said no, no, no, no, okay,

407
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 4: we won't do that, and uh and then so so

408
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 4: his popularity seems to be okay.

409
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: Amazingly though.

410
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 4: Population doesn't believe in like any of the government or

411
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 4: anything like that, any of their institutions other than Zelensky.

412
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 4: Really they believe in Zelensky in the military, everything else

413
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 4: not at all, partially because they're snatching people on the

414
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 4: off the streets now the recruiters and you're in the

415
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 4: army now, I'm what they're in Ukraine because they're so

416
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 4: desperate for people. Seventy five percent don't trust the draft offices.

417
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 4: That's how upside down they are, while they've got ninety

418
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 4: percent trust for the military. Not distinguishing that they're basically

419
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 4: the same thing. The draft offices are obviously part of

420
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 4: the whole military establishment, but ninety percent trust in the military.

421
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 4: Seventy five percent don't trust the draft offices. But Zelensky, somehow,

422
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 4: as a wartime leader or his personality or whatever, continues

423
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 4: to stay high. But that's something to keep an eye on, right, Yeah.

424
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 4: I mean, that's obviously a troubling thing.

425
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: But you know, it's not like the draft or conscription

426
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: is a new phenomenon in human affairs.

427
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 4: No, But apparently there are videos making their way around

428
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 4: Ukraine of like young men turning in a corner and

429
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 4: there's some people coming to get them from the draft

430
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 4: office and they go running down the street and they're

431
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 4: chased down.

432
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: I mean that sort of thing.

433
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 4: Wow, Yeah, i'd say, wow, you're in the army, now

434
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 4: learned direstraints. Yeah, I would say, all right, complete transition

435
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 4: to a couple of domestic matters. First of all, I'm

436
00:22:58,680 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 4: gonna flesh this out next.

437
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: If you don't get Next Hour a grab it via podcast,

438
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: maybe even subscribe or follow Armstrong and Getty on demand

439
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: wherever you like to get podcasts. But it is fleshing

440
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: out a lawsuit that was quietly settled in Washington, d C.

441
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: The same day, Trump said, you know what, We're gonna

442
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: get the National Guard out in Washington, d C. To

443
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: get the streets safer. Well, a cop sued the department,

444
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: saying they have been systematically ordering their underlings to the

445
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: brass has to under report crime. And when you get

446
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: into the specifics of it, I mean, it is as

447
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: crystal clear as a thing can be, how deceptive it was.

448
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: But anyway, we will flesh that out next hour. Wanted

449
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: to get this on just because it's becoming a big

450
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: store and we haven't even touched on it yet. And

451
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: I hope this, you know, gets the attention, raises the

452
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 1: eyebrows of people in places blue states like California or Massachusetts,

453
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: and they're a handful of others Illinois where they either

454
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: have passed are trying to pass these laws that say

455
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: the teacher and the administrators, the counselors, if little Jimmy

456
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: wants to be called Jenny, we don't have to tell

457
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: the parents that would In fact, we have to keep

458
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: it secret to protect the child from abuse or whatever.

459
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: Just the wedge between the state and the family not

460
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: to go off on too long a tangent, but an

461
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: an idea was introduced. I think I was eighteen nineteen

462
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: years old. I was sitting in a classroom at the

463
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: University of Illinois and one of my philosophy professors of

464
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: somebody some check I can picture, but I can't remember

465
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: what class. It was just casually mentioned that, of course,

466
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: the nuclear family is a structure of oppression and that

467
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: kids and society would be much better off if the

468
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: state were raising the children.

469
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,239
Speaker 4: And like, nobody raised their hand and said, excuse me,

470
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 4: what now.

471
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: My recollection is somewhat fuzzy of the day other than

472
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: that statement, but I was like, this chick's a lunatic.

473
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: That's such a crazy thing to say or believe. She

474
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: was a Marxist. I didn't realize it at the time,

475
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: but she was a Marxist. So anyway, the ah the

476
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: idea of no, no, no, no no. The parents don't need

477
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: to worry about this, The school will take care of

478
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: this for you. That is absolutely from the Marxist playbook

479
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: of dismantling the nuclear family, because that's one of the

480
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: institutions that is that supersedes the state, and nothing can

481
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: supersede the state. Anyway. Having said that, Virginia.

482
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 4: School officials arranged and paid for multiple students abortions without

483
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 4: parental consent, according to report that's just come out. This

484
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 4: is the infamous woke Fairfax County, Virginia that I'm pretty

485
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:52,479
Speaker 4: familiar with.

486
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: One of my kids went to school right there college.

487
00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 4: Two former Fairfax County High School, Virginia High School students

488
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 4: have come forward saying that school officials arranged and funded

489
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 4: their abortions without informing their parents, and these students have

490
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 4: provided letters, audio recordings, and additional documents showing that staff

491
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 4: arranged and paid for the abortions, one when she was

492
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 4: five months pregnant without notifying parents, a direct violation of

493
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 4: Virginia's parental notification statute.

494
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: Wrote a journalist. One of the girls that her abortion

495
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: took place in twenty twenty one, when she was only seventeen,

496
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: while the other one was five months pregnant and pleading

497
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: to keep her baby. It includes a handwritten statement for

498
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 1: the first student about how school social worker Carolina Diaz

499
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: scheduled the student's appointment at the Fairfax Healthcare Center and

500
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 1: paid the abortion fee. Diaz also allegedly told the second

501
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: student that she had no other choice than to get

502
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: an abortion. And again these two former high school students

503
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: are out with their names on the dotted line saying

504
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: this happened to me and I can prove it. And

505
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: a final quote, this is not an abortion debate, it's

506
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: state sponsored child coercion and a flashing red siren for

507
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 1: parental rights. Fairfax Counties bureaucrats skipped.

508
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 4: Cops, judges and moms and dads to push terrified teams

509
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 4: through a clinic door.

510
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: And every official who signed off must face a criminal probe.

511
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 4: And that same thing happens when little Johnny wants to

512
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 4: be called Jenny or vice versa.

513
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: And it's for a reason they don't want you involved. Anyway,

514
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: On a more positive note, and I remember it was

515
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: probably six months ago I brought to your attention and

516
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: opinion piece about what Trump had to do. In fact,

517
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: it might have been during the transition.

518
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 4: Come to think of that, what Trump in the administration

519
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 4: had to do to actually end woke or you know,

520
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 4: push neo Marxism backward. And one of the main facets

521
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 4: of it. Education was one, but the other one was

522
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 4: they've we've got to get a hold of our our museums.

523
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: It's so annoying. It's so annoying.

524
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 4: I've been to a lot of museums in the last

525
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 4: couple of years with my kids, so damn annoying. Good lord,

526
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,239
Speaker 4: I want to read about you know, this dinosaur or

527
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 4: this historical artifact or whatever it is, and they always

528
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 4: got to throw in climate change or male oppression or

529
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 4: white supremacy orth and every single time. Yeah, I guess

530
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 4: Britain's terrible too on that. But anyway, the White House

531
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 4: is announced a comprehensive review of the Smithsonian exhibitions. The

532
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 4: New York Times, of course, is aghast by this, but

533
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 4: they said they would begin a wide ranging review of

534
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 4: current and planned exhibitions at the Smithsonian, scouring Waltech's websites

535
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 4: and social media quote to assess tone, historical framing, and

536
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 4: alignment with American ideals, or.

537
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: Just leave it out.

538
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 4: Just tell me when the Tyrannosaurus lived, what at ate,

539
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 4: how tall it was. You don't need to work in

540
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 4: climate change or something like that. Yeah, that's a particularly

541
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 4: regious example.

542
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: But a lot of it is socio political, which climate

543
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: change is, I guess. But a lot of it, like

544
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: at the American History Museum or a handful of others

545
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: is directly designed to counter and defeat the traditional telling

546
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: of the American story and supplant it with Howard's and

547
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: Marxism stuff. Excuse me, it's incredibly egregious at the history museums,

548
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: the White House that it's reviewed. Quote aims to ensure

549
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: alignment with the presidents directive to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove

550
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: divisive or partisan narratives, and restore confidence in our shared

551
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: cultural institutions. It adds that the goal is not to

552
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: interfere with the day to day operations of curators or staff,

553
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: but rather to support a broad vision of excellence that

554
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: highlights historically accurate, uplifting, and inclusive portrayals of Americans America's

555
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: heritage debate over which, of course, is being portrayed in

556
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: the exact same way of im, I'm going to put

557
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: some porn in the schools, and then you come along

558
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: and say, I don't think there ought to be porn

559
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: in the schools. You need to take that out.

560
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 4: You're a book banner and a book burner and a fascist.

561
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 4: It's forbidden books week read some porn anyway. The left,

562
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 4: the left which put all of this postmodern Marxist rhetoric

563
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 4: in all the museums is now saying, oh, this is terrible.

564
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 4: We've been doing a great job. This is a fascism

565
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,719
Speaker 4: blah blah blah. No, this is a great, great effort,

566
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 4: and I support them one hundred percent. So coming up,

567
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 4: what your reaction to Taylor Swift being on the Kelsey

568
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 4: Brothers podcast says about your personality which I just made

569
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 4: up in my own head.

570
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: We'll play a little bit of that and discuss it,

571
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: among other things. Stay here can you do? Drummer?

572
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 6: Last track track twelve, the title track The Life of

573
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,719
Speaker 6: a show Girl featuring Sabrina Carpenter.

574
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 4: That's a lot of exuberation from a couple of NFL

575
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 4: football players. With Taylor Swift on the podcast of the

576
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 4: Kelsey Brothers announcing track by track, I guess what her

577
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 4: new album is and who's on who else is playing

578
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 4: on each track. She also announced this what she is

579
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 4: very excited about.

580
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 6: She was like, you got you got your music, and

581
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 6: I just like very dramatically hit the floor for real,

582
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 6: like honestly just started a long time bawling my eyes

583
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 6: out and I'm just like just weeping.

584
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,719
Speaker 4: She got her albums back, So with all kinds of

585
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 4: disputes over copyrights and who owns what and everything like

586
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 4: that she didn't own her like what first six albums

587
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 4: of her life am off, like a lot.

588
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: Of creative artists do. And she bought them back, finally

589
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: made a deal.

590
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, somehow she got them back, and she talked about

591
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 4: how she cried and Travis cried.

592
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, I saw.

593
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 4: I saw chunks of this, and I just think it's interesting,

594
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 4: the phenomenon on needing to hate on various things. Like

595
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 4: I try not to like things just because they're popular,

596
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 4: or hate things just because they're popular. I try to

597
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 4: just either like it or not like it, based on

598
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 4: whether I like it or not like it, which seems

599
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 4: like a better way to go. But I know there's

600
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 4: there's a chunk of people that gotta hate on Taylor

601
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 4: Swift and the whole Travis Kelsey thing. And I listened

602
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 4: to part of that and I thought, Okay, they seem

603
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 4: like a young couple, like in love, and the two

604
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 4: brothers seem like they're really good friends. And you know,

605
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 4: it's not my cup of tea to listen to the

606
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 4: topic matter, but it doesn't make me angry or I

607
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 4: don't need to hate it.

608
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: I just I'm just going to.

609
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 4: You're better than all of us, Saint Jack, congratulations. People

610
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 4: are sick of hearing about it, which then kind of

611
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 4: leeches over into it. Seems like they hate They're probably

612
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 4: indifferent to Taylor Swift. They hate the hype. They hate

613
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,479
Speaker 4: the game, not the play man. To quote Taylor Swift,

614
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 4: to quote Way to quote Taylor Swift as you take

615
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 4: her down, that's very clever.

616
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: I'm quoting popular culture.

617
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 4: I think anyway, if I did, it was an accident,

618
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 4: and I apologize for it, please. I was pretty surprised

619
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 4: at how into it the Kelsey brothers seem to be.

620
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 4: I mean, Travis has to at least pretend he cares

621
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 4: which crown Molding may get for the living room because

622
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 4: it's his girlfriend. But I was surprised his brother was

623
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 4: so into track by track. What was on each song

624
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 4: of the album?

625
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,760
