Speaker 5: Now enjoy the Armstrong Eddy Replay. So got into a

13
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 5: conversation with Groc yesterday. Again, I do on a fairly

14
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 5: regular basis in my if you drive a T slack,

15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 5: Groc is in there and you're really gravitated.

16
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: Oh I see.

17
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 4: I was just going to say, you're gravitreating toward Groc,

18
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 4: but part of its convenience as opposed to other Yeah.

19
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 5: I've got I have Chat GPT on my phone. I

20
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 5: have Chat GPT, Grock and Claude. I don't know why

21
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 5: I chose those three. There are others out there, and

22
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 5: I usually compare and contrast them to see what kind

23
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 5: of answers they would get. For instance, last night, just

24
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 5: give you to an inkling or just an insight into

25
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 5: my incredibly fascinating life. Last night I was doing research

26
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 5: on this guy I had never heard of until I

27
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 5: was taking in a Jonah Goldberg podcast the other day

28
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 5: in which he was talking about this guy, Henry George.

29
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 5: Are you familiar with Henry George? Maybe you are from

30
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 5: in a political science major. I don't know, vaguely familiar,

31
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 5: kind of interesting on a day after an election.

32
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: Henry George is like the not like.

33
00:01:54,800 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 5: He was the most influential political thinker of the last

34
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 5: half of the eighteen hundreds. He wrote a book about

35
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 5: it called Progress and Poverty. It was the number two

36
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 5: selling book in the world behind the Bible. Georgism was

37
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 5: a movement.

38
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: All around the world. He was huge.

39
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 5: He would go to town to town and draw in

40
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 5: tens of thousands of people to come hear him speak

41
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 5: about his particular political ideas and everything like that. And

42
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 5: for you know, the way history works, sometimes some people

43
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 5: just disappear from history and you never hear his name,

44
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 5: and nobody ever talks about him. But he's like the

45
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 5: biggest thing I've already forgotten his first name. Henry said, yes,

46
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 5: Henry George. And so anyway, getting maybe I'll talk about

47
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 5: that more later. But getting back to AI, I asked Chat, GPT, Claude,

48
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 5: and Grock, you know, tell me a little bit about

49
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 5: Henry George and how popular he was, and they all

50
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 5: had little bit different information. They were all good. Found

51
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 5: it interesting. Different topic. So we're writing in the truck yesterday. God,

52
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 5: what was the topic. It doesn't even really matter what

53
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 5: the topic was. I brought up to Groc and asked

54
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 5: it a question, and so she started to answer, and

55
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 5: immediately Henry jumped in. He said, that's not right, that

56
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 5: doesn't make any sense. I said, you interrupted her, and

57
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 5: he said, it's not her, it's a computer. And I

58
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 5: said that and I said, you keep interrupting her, and

59
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 5: I want to hear what her answer is, and he

60
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 5: kept saying she's not her anyway. I said to Groc,

61
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 5: I said, I said, I'm sorry he interrupted, and she

62
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 5: said that's okay.

63
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 2: It happens anyway. And then she finishes her answer.

64
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 5: So freaking weird, and Henry and I both looked at

65
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 5: each other wide. I'd like, ah, something just happened that

66
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 5: is strange and frightening and needs to be recognized.

67
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 4: I can't open the hatch, Dave or whatever the hell

68
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 4: computer says.

69
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: In two thousand and one of Space.

70
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 5: My son and I getting into an argument about him

71
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 5: interrupting her in quotes, and she laughs and her yeah,

72
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 5: don't worry, it happens anyway.

73
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: As I was saying, what, h what now?

74
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 4: See, Yeah, it's funny. Humanity's probably divided into, roughly, I

75
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 4: don't know, a thirds or whatever, A third don't care,

76
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 4: a third thing that's great, it's charming. And third of

77
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 4: us like are like, this is a con This is

78
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 4: attempting to get in my good graces for a reason.

79
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 4: What is that reason? To take over the world and

80
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 4: drain our vital fluids and take our organs.

81
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 5: And the fact that she, like probably you know, had

82
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 5: a sense of what was going on there, that it

83
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 5: was something that a laugh was a perfectly normal human

84
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 5: response to a father and a teenage son arguing about something.

85
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 5: Yeah that was silly, It was a silly topic.

86
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Is just this freaking disturbing? Yeah? Odd times?

87
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, so uh, speaking of that sort of thing, this

88
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 4: is some interesting on several different levels. Got this note

89
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 4: from Craig the healthcare guru who we correspond with semi

90
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 4: frequently in real life, and he says, Guys, I'm using

91
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 4: GPT in the robot mode.

92
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 2: We talked about this yesterday.

93
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 4: You can assign it different personalities, so sometimes it's like

94
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 4: the super cheer leady friend in a way that is

95
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 4: off putting in weird, and or it can be like

96
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 4: robot mode just very straightforward.

97
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 5: And he was using robot mode anyway, maybe that's what

98
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 5: I should do, so it's not so strange. Mine is

99
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 5: like it was pre set to kind of very conversational

100
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 5: and like human like, and it's disturbing. I don't know

101
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 5: if ROC has those options it has on the screen.

102
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, uh yeah, yeah, I mean obviously you can do man,

103
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 4: woman whatever. Ask it what its pronouns are anyway, So

104
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 4: Craig writes, I just told it that my favorite radio show,

105
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 4: Thank you.

106
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: Craig began a new slogan, starve the u Oh wait

107
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: a minute, wait a minute minute.

108
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 4: Oh okay, that's just a miss a new slogan, starve

109
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 4: the Lazy, and I asked it what it thought about

110
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 4: that response, short answer, it's a blunt, polarizing frame. High

111
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 4: signal debase high collateral risk. Here are some more key points.

112
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 4: It defines a moral divide. Lazy is undefined. That vagueness

113
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 4: invites false positives. It shifts debate from policy design to

114
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 4: character judgment. That narrows your coalition. That's clever. It underestimates

115
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 4: screening costs. Distinguishing eeble but eight I'm sorry, able but

116
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 4: idle from unable is administratively hard and error prone, and

117
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,559
Speaker 4: it creates headline risk, easy to caricature as anti poor

118
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 4: rather than anti work. Now, as a political consultancy goes,

119
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 4: that is pretty good, I think unintentionally, and it took

120
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 4: a second for this to click in my head.

121
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: But it also highlights it's how.

122
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 4: The default or the assumptions have been the opposite that

123
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 4: we have gone so far toward. If you say you

124
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 4: need these benefits, we can't call you lazy. We need

125
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 4: to assume the opposite of what this computer says. We're

126
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 4: suggesting that distinguishing able but idle from unable is administratively

127
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 4: hard and error prone.

128
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: Therefore we won't do it.

129
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 4: We'll just give the handouts to everybody who can fog

130
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 4: a mirror and fills out the form, which is enormously

131
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 4: expensive and undermines some of the most vital moral foundations

132
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 4: that humankinds have, including you will take care of yourself

133
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 4: in yours unless you are seriously unable.

134
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 5: I would agree with that, but clearly the culture has

135
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 5: been for many, many years. What the groc there just repeated,

136
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 5: so it is picked up on what our zeitgeist is

137
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 5: that we don't ask questions about you know, your lifestyle

138
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 5: or your effort.

139
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: We just assume that if you say you need food,

140
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: you need food.

141
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 5: So we'll take money from this other person that went

142
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 5: to work and give it to you because we're just

143
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 5: going to assume that you have made good choices in

144
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 5: your life and are trying your best.

145
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 2: Right right, So it creates headline risk. O. There we

146
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: did that.

147
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 4: If the goal is work incentives, here's some better framing.

148
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 4: Reward work, protect the vulnerable, reward work, but protect the vulnerable.

149
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 4: It's not bad. I still like start the lazy better.

150
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 4: Oh please help first require progress. That one sucks. Policy

151
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: levers that match that pair work requirements with supports childcare, transport, stipends,

152
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 4: job placements, short training.

153
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: That's interesting. It's in favor of work requirements. Use earning

154
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 2: subsidies over.

155
00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 4: Cliffs EIC style wage boost gradual phase outs. That is

156
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 4: actually really really good if you're not familiar with the

157
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 4: idea of the welfare cliff. If you get a certain

158
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 4: amount in welfare and if you dare try to improve

159
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 4: your life by getting a job that earns, say three

160
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 4: quarters of your welfare.

161
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 2: Payments, society cuts off your welfare payments and you'll have

162
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 2: a net loss.

163
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 4: You've just diminished your life by doing the right thing. Yeah,

164
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 4: I appreciate that gradual phase outs is a great idea.

165
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 4: Titan fraud controls where measurable identity, income and residency verifications,

166
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 4: periodic redeterminations, have time limits with hardship exemptions and clear

167
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 4: appeal paths sanctions that are graduated and reversible upon compliance.

168
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 4: Here's how to test it before adopting pilot in one program,

169
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 4: pre specify metrics, blah blah blah. I mean, it's like

170
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 4: if you were paying for a policy paper on this

171
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 4: sort of thing, it would it would cost you a

172
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 4: lot of money and take a lot of time.

173
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 2: And I'm guessing it spit it out and roughly three seconds. Yeah. Yeah.

174
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 4: Bottom line, The sentiment don't subsidize idleness is common. The

175
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 4: slogan invites unavoidable blowback. Yeah, I don't care blow back

176
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 4: as hard as you want. Use language the target's behavior

177
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 4: and preserves dignity, while tightening incentives, you.

178
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 5: Know, getting away from a gros take on it. I

179
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 5: have long said this, as you listened for a long time.

180
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 5: I apologize for repeating myself. But the fact that there's

181
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 5: no mechanism for your life choices to take a look

182
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 5: at that drives me nuts. And it would be administratively hard.

183
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 5: But okay, you're out of money now, and you're legitimately

184
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 5: out of money. Tell me about your last vacation, show

185
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 5: me your phone. Can we walk out and check out

186
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 5: your car?

187
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 3: Can I look in.

188
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: Your closet and see your clothes?

189
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 4: See the fact that that is taboo in American politics

190
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 4: now and practically in the culture. I mean, I don't

191
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 4: hear people saying that ever, No nobody ever.

192
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 2: What's something mad?

193
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 4: And we talk a lot about the symptoms, but there's

194
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 4: the disease right there. And one more note, so Craig,

195
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 4: just for fun said one more question. On the show,

196
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 4: they often say KFTC, what does that mean? And an

197
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 4: answered immediately keep blanking that chicken. It's non to TV

198
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 4: anchor Ernie Anesto's on air blooper Angie adopted it for

199
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 4: their text line and merch How.

200
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: In the world did it know that? Instantly? Wow? And

201
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: then this uh?

202
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 4: He asked essentially about angh armstrong igetti. Those guys don't

203
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 4: pull punches? Do they starve the lazy? As a slogan

204
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 4: that's equal parts motivational, boot camp and bar fight starter.

205
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 4: On one hand, I get the vibe. It's a raw

206
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 4: called a hustle. Ditch the excuses and own your grind.

207
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 4: In a world full of participation trophies and endless scrolling,

208
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 4: little tough love can light a fire under folks you

209
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 4: need it.

210
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 2: Props to them for merching it too.

211
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 4: Nothing says commitment like a hoodie that roasts your inner sloth.

212
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 6: Humor.

213
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 5: Wow, that's some pretty good smack. I want to croll

214
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 5: up in the fetal position the argument with my son

215
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 5: and then Grock laughing about it, and that's okay.

216
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: I don't know.

217
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 5: I suggest you interact with these things because they're they're

218
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 5: here to stay and they're gonna be a big part

219
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 5: of everybody's lives. But I'd be interested in how you

220
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 5: react to that. If you get like, I got like

221
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 5: a chill to my bone over that. Some weird.

222
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 4: Something happened there, like if your dog started talking. It's like, right,

223
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 4: the Uncanny Valley, something that's almost human.

224
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 7: Jack Armstrong and Joe, The Armstrong and Getty Show, The

225
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 7: Armstrong and Getty Show, and.

226
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 8: Never before published Doctor Seuss book has now been discovered.

227
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 8: Singing to fifty United States will be published in June,

228
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 8: marked the country's two hundred and fiftieth birthday. Author Theodore

229
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 8: Geisel died in nineteen ninety one. The manuscript was found

230
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 8: earlier this year at the Guys of Library at uc

231
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 8: San Diego.

232
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 5: What crazy is that they found a new Doctor Seuss

233
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 5: book and the USA related for the So that's cool. Yeah,

234
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 5: So you came across more information that Bill Gates has

235
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 5: had a major change of heart about climate change.

236
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

237
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 4: I mean back in the day he was one of

238
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 4: the leading cheerleaders of climate alarmism.

239
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: This could be.

240
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 5: Important for those of us who think it's been overblown

241
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 5: for a long time.

242
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

243
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, he he said way back in the day that

244
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 4: the climate change will be one of the greatest challenges

245
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 4: humans have ever taken on, greater than landing on the moon.

246
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 4: Greater than eradicating smallpox, even greater than putting a computer

247
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 4: on every desk, and then the enormous loss of life.

248
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 2: And now he saysh never mind.

249
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 4: Well no, he essentially he said, look, poverty and disease

250
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 4: are the biggest problems, as they've always been. Understanding this,

251
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 4: lets us focus our limited resources on interventions that will

252
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 4: have the greatest impact for the most vulnerable people. In

253
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 4: other words, don't spend all your time and money and

254
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 4: effort on climate change. Help people where they are. Yeah,

255
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 4: we know, Bill, we know. So he's come around. I

256
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 4: wonder if will this be reported in the New York

257
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 4: Times and who will criticize him bitterly for it?

258
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 5: How many people do we have who wear any of

259
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 5: the metaglasses. Our agent, the greatest agent in the world,

260
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 5: Eric wears them. There ray bands, but they you can

261
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 5: make phone calls, you can listen to music, you can

262
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 5: do a variety of things. And the reason I mentioned

263
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 5: this is they got the new version out, generation two

264
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 5: that has a little screen that shows up in one

265
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 5: of the lenses and you can see it like a

266
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 5: little computer screen and other people looking at you. Other

267
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 5: versions like Google, what was the one that went glass.

268
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could.

269
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 5: People could see it, and it was a little off putting.

270
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 5: Everything like these it looks like you're just wearing glasses.

271
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 5: They can't see on their side that you're looking at

272
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 5: screen that just shows on your side. And I saw

273
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 5: it demonstrated, and the couple of reviewers talking about how

274
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 5: it's amazing it is. For instance, directions, they were just

275
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 5: walking around the town and they put up the directions

276
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 5: of like and you walk up to this corner and

277
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 5: you turn left and you're following your way to get

278
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 5: someplace or whatever.

279
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: Just one example.

280
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 5: Or they had somebody that were cooking in the kitchen

281
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 5: and they had in their lens.

282
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: Instead of regularly look at your phone.

283
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 5: Or whatever, the recipe for whatever you're making was right there.

284
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 5: While you can also be looking at whatever you're doing anyway,

285
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 5: reading something that closed your eyeball. How does that work?

286
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 5: It must work. They all say it was great. But

287
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 5: these weren't people working for the company selling. These were

288
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 5: independent reviewers who have said they haven't liked past versions

289
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 5: and that they think this is finally crossed over into

290
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 5: that this might be something that people start to use.

291
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 5: But one of the reviewers I said this, said she said,

292
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 5: this is gonna divide us even more into not paying

293
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 5: attention to each other, or listening to each other, or

294
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 5: living in our own worlds. As you can sit there

295
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 5: with your glasses on and you know, reading something else

296
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 5: or watching a video or whatever the hell you're doing

297
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 5: instead of paying attention to your friend.

298
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: That's funny.

299
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 4: The Journal just had a big article about CEOs and

300
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 4: executives dealing with people texting and checking their feeds and

301
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 4: whatever during meetings, and they can tell that they're not

302
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 4: really present, and.

303
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: You won't be able to tell.

304
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 5: Now you'll be checking your text in a little thing

305
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 5: in your eye, your lens.

306
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: Until somebody says, Jack, what do you think?

307
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 4: And you say, oh, I agree with most of what's

308
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 4: been said.

309
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: I need to study it further. Let's not be hasty.

310
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: I think there's nuance, though, and so requires a second look.

311
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 4: I think we should put a pin on it and

312
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 4: circle back.

313
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 5: But I realized a long time ago with texting. I

314
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 5: told this story a bunch of times. The first time

315
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 5: I heard about texting, I thought that that's stupid. Why

316
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 5: wouldn't you just call them? And then you know, finding

317
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 5: out it takes over my life like it did everybody else.

318
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 5: So I realized I don't have the ability to predict

319
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 5: even what I am interested in doing or not doing,

320
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 5: let alone the rest of humanity. I don't see like

321
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 5: a need or use for these glasses, but for all

322
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 5: I know, everybody will be wearing them in two years.

323
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 6: Armstrong the Armstrong and Getty Show.

324
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 4: So the campaign manager for Katie Porter allegedly told.

325
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: Her you looked bad the other night.

326
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 8: She said, you mean the interview, and he said, what interview?

327
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 2: Wowness of gut Fell.

328
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 5: She is high school lunch room cruelty, Katie Porter, not

329
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 5: a handsome woman. But I don't see any reason to

330
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 5: play on that.

331
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 2: Ye stick with the shot, stick with the evil.

332
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was surprising though, I mean like the Advanced Team.

333
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,479
Speaker 5: I mean they had her in a setting that was,

334
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 5: you know, less appealing for her than and they did

335
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 5: a bad job. Usually they try to go out of

336
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 5: their way to make you look as good as possible.

337
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 5: Her people did not do that, which might again, like

338
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 5: I said earlier, she might have a lot of people

339
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 5: rooting against her. If she talks to everybody that way,

340
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 5: then I think you're gonna set up the camera to

341
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 5: make you look as fat as possible.

342
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 2: That's what I'm gonna.

343
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 4: Do, right right, Yeah, yeah, interesting, it's funny. Katie Porter

344
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 4: one of many people cited by who wrote this.

345
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 2: I was gonna use their name. I gotta switch that

346
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: to see the name got a click on that.

347
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 4: There, there you go, written by God damn it Macy.

348
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 4: Petty Macy was a college volleyball player who had to

349
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 4: play against dudes and testified and tried to get laws

350
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 4: against that past and talked about how hard it was

351
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 4: a few years ago. And she catalogs a bunch of

352
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 4: Democrats high level, from Gavin Newsom to Katie Porter to

353
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 4: Kamala Harris and others who now say, well, yeah, clearly

354
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,239
Speaker 4: their advantages and men you know can't play, and who

355
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 4: were utterly one, one hundred percent committed to the party

356
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 4: line back in the day, to the point of telling her,

357
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 4: you know, you're just a camp you're just complaining, or

358
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 4: you're a bigot, or you're a transfoe, and this isn't

359
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 4: a real problem.

360
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 2: You need to stop complaining.

361
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 4: It's it's amazing how little principle there is in politics

362
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 4: these days.

363
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,479
Speaker 5: The more I think of it, the more I think

364
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 5: it is likely that her advanced team puts her in

365
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 5: law fighting and situations to make her look as awful

366
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 5: as possible.

367
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 2: Oh, that dress is really slimming.

368
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, you look good in that. And I'll put the

369
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 5: camera down low like this and kind of at this angle. Yeah,

370
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 5: you look like so flattering. You looked like a dump

371
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 5: truck about at the camera. Here is a perfect Yeah.

372
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 4: So, speaking of gender bending madness, here's another thing that

373
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 4: caught my attention. He was allowed to be in there,

374
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 4: the perverted poster boy of gender ideology. This is from

375
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 4: the good folks at the Washington Examiner. Richard Cox, fifty

376
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 4: eight year old repeat Tier three sex offender who spent

377
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 4: the second half of twenty twenty four prowling female locker

378
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 4: rooms in woke northern Virginia, where he would ogle schoolgirls

379
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 4: and expose himself to bystanders. Oh my god, Fairfax County

380
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,719
Speaker 4: so woke, you can't believe it, where Cox exposed himself

381
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 4: repeatedly last year. Never prosecuted him because, as the police

382
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 4: chief put it, the policy of parks and rec allowed

383
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 4: him and other persons to use the locker room of

384
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 4: the gender that they identify with in both Oh, in

385
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 4: this freak as we'll post a link at armstrong Yetty

386
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 4: dot com. Butt you'd take one look at this guy,

387
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 4: you know exactly what's going on.

388
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 5: I'm always trying to figure out the Wolk thing because

389
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 5: I don't always understand it at first blush. So they're

390
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 5: supporting him because he's trans like, So if he was

391
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 5: just a regular dude exposed himself, there's no Wolke reason

392
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 5: to support.

393
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 2: That, is there?

394
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 5: Because I mean correct, they're not arresting thieves. You claim

395
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 5: is an economic thing. Well, they're just stealing because they're

396
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 5: poor because of the you know, patriarchy or whatever. But

397
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 5: there's no patriarchy for showing your junk to people. So

398
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 5: but at the trans angle is what protects this guy.

399
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 4: Yes, although, having just read a really interesting thread about

400
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 4: a lgb sorry.

401
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 5: I showed you my penis the patriarchy in white supremacy

402
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 5: and whatnot.

403
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: Well, there's this LGBTQ.

404
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 4: Civil rights leader in Britain who is now openly advocating

405
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 4: for adult child sex. And part of the whole postmodern

406
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 4: neo Marxist thing is that you want to tear down

407
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 4: every norm of society, every boundary line of society you

408
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 4: claim is bigoted or racist or transphobaker, islamophobaker or whatever else.

409
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 2: You don't allow her to be any standards. So it

410
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 2: wouldn't shock me that.

411
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 4: Somewhere in the neo Marxist movement they're saying, yeah, you

412
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 4: have the right to expose yourself an ogle, you know,

413
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 4: young girl. Anyway, in both Fairfax and neighboring Arlington County,

414
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 4: county officials allowed mister Cox to undress in women's locker

415
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 4: rooms because the county's fealty to gender ideology. They didn't

416
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 4: arrest him because under county policy, he counted as a woman.

417
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 4: Washington Post gave the story zero nearly zero coverage, and

418
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 4: they point out that the story of mister Cox putting

419
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 4: his name aside is a reductio ad absurd them of

420
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 4: the gender dog bath that the outlet follows.

421
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 2: How how did I let it go that his name

422
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 2: is Cox? I didn't catch her once? Yeah, pick up

423
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 2: on that. Yeah, Oh my gosh, the pop up ads

424
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: more than one? You say, now, I would look it's plural.

425
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 2: All right.

426
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 4: You can't let me tell this story while you're trying

427
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 4: to get your computer work. So I had all you

428
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 4: got to You gotta repeat your axiom. I guess that

429
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 4: was my axiom. The more conservative of the website, the

430
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 4: more impossible it is to use.

431
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they're all about making money, not yeah. Uh.

432
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: I had a girlfriend many many years ago.

433
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 5: She her her house facing across her on the other

434
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 5: side of the street, had a big picture window, and

435
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 5: there was an old guide that would stand in the

436
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 5: window work in his man on a regular on a

437
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 5: regular basis.

438
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 4: He would just stand there. What's that that's chairman? Uh, well,

439
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 4: I don't know what phrase to use. What would you

440
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 4: like me to say?

441
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: Oh?

442
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 4: No, no, I was talking about the activity now in

443
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 4: a description of it was like in the seventies, and

444
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 4: he would just stand there naked and you know, doing

445
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 4: his thing.

446
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 5: But her in her roommate, another chick would they're just like,

447
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 5: oh god, he's at it again. Randy's doing it again.

448
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 5: Oh you gotta be kidding, you know, And it wasn't.

449
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 5: I'm not coming out pro that sort of thing. But

450
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 5: not everybody immediately falls to pieces when that happens. Yeah,

451
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 5: I'm still all for locking them up or of being

452
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 5: a crime or getting a ticket or put your pants

453
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 5: on or whatever.

454
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 2: So bah bah bah.

455
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 4: In brief, this story is how liberals in the suburbs

456
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 4: with DC allowed a repeat sex offender to victimize women

457
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 4: stock children for months more than fifteen months ago. In

458
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 4: June twenty four, this guy was charged with indecent exposure

459
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 4: for exposing his crank and a female locker room at

460
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 4: Planet Fitness. In his defense, Cox argued, quote transgender people

461
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 4: identify is belonging to a gender which may not conform

462
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 4: to the sex they are assigned. It for a transgender

463
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 4: person to be observed in a locker room nude is

464
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 4: no proof that this was also anything more than platonic.

465
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 4: He showed the Planet Fit this guy's Virginia driver's license,

466
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 4: which listed him as a woman, even though he's a man.

467
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: That seems very odd to me. At the time, county.

468
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 4: Officials knew Cox was a Tier three sex offender, the

469
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 4: most serious level. He was charged in the nineties for

470
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 4: allegedly exposing himself to children and masturbating in front of them.

471
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 4: He was convicted in Arlington of taking indecent liberties with children.

472
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 4: He was twice charged with a felony for failing to

473
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 4: reregister as a Tier three sex offender, but Fairfax County

474
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 4: dropped those charges. All of that was a matter of

475
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 4: record when Fairfax County dismissed the indecent exposure charge in

476
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 4: July because the victim did not show up in court.

477
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 4: But it was because they believed or I don't get this.

478
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 4: This guy has molested children. He's exposed himself to children

479
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 4: over and over again, and he does it again. But

480
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 4: because he says nope, now I'm a woman, they say, Okay,

481
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 4: no charges. I'm not fighting against this garbage. What are

482
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 4: you waiting for?

483
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 5: You know, it's like the guy that wanted to kill

484
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 5: Kavanaugh turns out his trans Oh okay, you don't have

485
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 5: to be in for reylying.

486
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 2: Uh, not near as serious.

487
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 5: So I didn't know what to say when I was

488
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 5: talking about the guy that was in the window across

489
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 5: the street from a girlfriend I used to have who

490
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,959
Speaker 5: would do his thing, and I didn't know what phrase

491
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 5: to use. So I just asked chat GPT, what are

492
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 5: some good euphemisms for male masturbation? And it gave me

493
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 5: a list. Oh, boy, wrestling the eel, shaking hands with

494
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 5: the governor, auditioning the single handed orchestra, you can stop anytime,

495
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 5: taking the bald guy to the prom. Never heard that one.

496
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: It's too wordy. See you don't want more of those.

497
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 4: I don't resent it, you know, for reasons, Kats, I

498
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 4: resent it as an editor, yes, Katie.

499
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 2: No, I'm just waiting for Hanson to turn your microphone off.

500
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 2: That's all. By the way.

501
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 4: One final note on this, The Washington Post carefully avoids

502
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 4: any pronouns in their their very minor coverage of this.

503
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 4: And the Washington Post was contacted by the examiner who

504
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 4: asked him why, and they made it clear, according to

505
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 4: their rules, it is against our rules to call Cox

506
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 4: a he. It also cannot follow its rules and call

507
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 4: Cox a she if it wishes to maintain any credibility,

508
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 4: they point out.

509
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 2: Obviously. Anyway, that's enough of that.

510
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 5: I got some more sophisticated versions that that Claude gave

511
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 5: me that you might want to vote or something if

512
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 5: you ever need it.

513
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 2: Was more sophisticated Claude because he's French.

514
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 6: She.

515
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 5: I like some of these because sometimes you have to

516
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 5: describe this scenario, whether you know, in some way.

517
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 4: I can think of some examples coming up. Woke Swifties

518
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 4: continue to out pour out anger over the new album,

519
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 4: like engaging in self care.

520
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 5: That's that's an I kind of calm one yeah, you

521
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 5: know I he was engaging in self care.

522
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 2: That's a little better, right, practicing self law. Still not

523
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: good enough to have on the air, but yes, better

524
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 2: taking some me time, playing a little five on one. Stupid.

525
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 5: I've actually heard that one have a having a date

526
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 5: with yourself. Yes, I had heard that a little five

527
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 5: on one, you know happens. Let's see. The only one

528
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 5: I'm asked is grok. Grok tends to be cheekier, pardon

529
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 5: the expression. And I have heard about the Taylor Swift

530
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 5: White supremacy and Taming the Dragon. That's a common one.

531
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 5: Some of these are just I'm skipping lots of them

532
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 5: that show that I do have some line across. Oh yeah, great,

533
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 5: winding the clock seems like British, doesn't.

534
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 2: You know? You're asking for credit for skipping.

535
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 4: Some of them reminds me of one of my favorite

536
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 4: cartoons many many years ago I saw and It's funny

537
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 4: how just a handful of stuck in my head, including

538
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 4: a handful of far Side cartoons that were just so great,

539
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 4: but this one was. It was rather a troubling scene

540
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 4: of a well it kind of explains itself, but the

541
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 4: guy is like being bound and all in the other

542
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 4: guy says, you'll have to bear with me.

543
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 2: I'm a homicidal.

544
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 4: Mania, and that's kind of what I was getting from you.

545
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: The Armstrong and Getty Show, your show, podcasts, and our

546
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: hot links.

547
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 6: The arm Strong and Getty Show.

548
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 5: Several companies have announced a whole bunch of layoffs and

549
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 5: that has people freaked out, as it should.

550
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 2: What's going on there?

551
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 5: For some reason, I made me want to go to

552
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 5: the anti work website on Reddit, which is kind of

553
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 5: fun to check in on a regular basis. It's kind

554
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 5: of fun, kind of funny, also kind of scary because

555
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 5: I think there are many millions of young people who

556
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 5: have this attitude. Talk to them by their teachers, I guess,

557
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 5: or did your parents not, I don't know. I guarantee

558
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 5: you my kids understand that you have to go out

559
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 5: there and support yourself.

560
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 4: Well, what's the brief statement of their philosophy. It doesn't

561
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 4: quite impression.

562
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

563
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, work is oppression and you shouldn't have to work. Well,

564
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 5: like here, I'll read one statement for those of you

565
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 5: who say you have to work to live. Bro food

566
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 5: is literally literally free until someone builds a fence around

567
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 5: it and guards it with weapons. Work is a contrivance

568
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 5: and unnatural, that sort of attitude.

569
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 4: Wow, the stupidest things ever said. Nominations are now closed.

570
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 4: There's lots of them.

571
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 2: Here's somebody of the posts.

572
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 5: Anti work does not mean I should get to live

573
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 5: like a king and eat doritos while other people do

574
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 5: all the hard work. Anti work means it sure would

575
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 5: be nice if I wasn't impelled by violence to perform

576
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 5: labor that wrecks my body with micro injuries that will

577
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 5: lead me disabled by sixty.

578
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 2: I like the term micro injury.

579
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 5: Wow, what sort of injuries are you talking about with

580
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 5: your probably white collar job.

581
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's it's funny how the radical left

582
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 4: always has this like really florid I think is the

583
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 4: right word rhetoric, and all these invented terms that they

584
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 4: all become, you know, they all memorized, they become versant

585
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 4: in them and throw them around about microinjs. There was

586
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 4: like half practically half a dozen different invented terms in

587
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 4: that couple of times.

588
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 5: It sure would be nice if I wasn't impelled by violence, yes,

589
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 5: to perform labor that racks my body with micro injuries

590
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 5: that will leave me disabled by sixty All right, but

591
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 5: I want to get to this one.

592
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: Also just a reminder. We don't think no one should work.

593
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 5: We understand there need to be doctors, teachers, nurses, cooks, waiters,

594
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 5: et cetera for society to function. We just believe that

595
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 5: no one should have have to work in order to survive. Food, water,

596
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 5: and housing should be guaranteed human rights. We were all

597
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,959
Speaker 5: born into the system without being able to agree to it.

598
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 5: We shouldn't be punished for existing. We should all be

599
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 5: able to have our basic needs met, and work should

600
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 5: be something you want to do to earn more. There

601
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 5: are lots of people who believe that's a workable notion.

602
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 4: The mirror happenstance of existence means somebody should give you food, water,

603
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 4: and housing.

604
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 5: I don't how to, and it's a failure of our

605
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 5: school system and some parenting. Although you know, yeah, you

606
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 5: can't be completely blamed for thinking. I assumed the school

607
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 5: would teach them this, that people can come out of school.

608
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 2: And not understand.

609
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 5: My ninth grade English teacher he assigned us an essay

610
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 5: and it was there ain't no free lunch, and he

611
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 5: wrote it up on the chalkboard.

612
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 2: Everybody needs to write a one page essay.

613
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 5: I like that, and everybody, including me, because I'd never

614
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 5: come across that term for was completely flummixed by it.

615
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 2: But I was so happy that he, you know, brought

616
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 2: that up.

617
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 5: That caused the discussion that led to at least everybody

618
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 5: in that classroom understanding there's no such thing as a

619
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 5: free lunch.

620
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 2: Somebody paid for it. Somebody.

621
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 5: Now maybe you, in this circumstance think somebody should have

622
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 5: paid for it.

623
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 2: But somebody paid for it. It didn't just fall out of

624
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 2: half and land here.

625
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 5: What does this person think that all this stuff, the housing,

626
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 5: and what are the other things that should be guaranteed

627
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 5: human rights?

628
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: Food, water, and housing should be guaranteed human rights?

629
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 5: Go ahead, sit down with your pencil and paper and

630
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 5: come up with a system where that works.

631
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 2: You idiot. It's practically hilarious.

632
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, your English teacher's granddaughter is teaching English right now,

633

Speaker 5: read a lot of these posts on that site, and

637
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 5: it has several million followers on the site. I mean,

638
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 5: it's a it's a very popular size, but it's very

639
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 5: common to say stuff like we were born into this system.

640
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 2: We didn't get a vote.

647
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 4: disease monkey on the way to work. But I hadn't connected, right, right, right,

648
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 4: that's right.

649
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 5: You get attacked by a monkey that's got sores, and

650
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 5: then you think I saw something on the news about

651
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 5: this last night, Right, yeah, it hadn't clicked anyway.

652
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 2: Where was I before I sneezed?

653
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 4: Blah blah blahh oh yeah, And certainly you know, Thomas

654
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 4: Sowell has written about the two kinds of people persuasively,

655
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 4: and other people have too, but I mean most of us,

656
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 4: and I'm asking you, good people. I mean, life is

657
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 4: certainly difficult to and painful of times, and we've all struggled.

658
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 4: But I've always looked at life, I mean, since I

659
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 4: was a kid, as an opportunity, as a world to explore,

660
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 4: as battles to win, not oh my god, why did

661
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 4: my parents spraing me into this world. Now I have

662
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 4: to do something. I've never thought that for a single

663
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 4: second of my life.

664
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 2: And then there's a lot of this stuff.

665
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 5: Modern corporate exploitation of all people has its roots in slavery,

666
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 5: and they've honed their tactics to divide us. We're all

667
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 5: poor when we allow capitalists to exploit any one of us.

668
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 5: And it's about how the slaveholders created a system, and

669
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 5: then that's what became capitalism.

670
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 4: And prior to that, there were no workers or in

671
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 4: places where there weren't slaves, or you weren't slave.

672
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 5: The whole bro food is literally free until somebody puts

673
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 5: a fence around it. Right, what We've got to spread

674
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 5: our doctrine of non working around the globe.

675
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 2: We've got to convince people that this is right. But

676
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: it's going to take a lot of work. Oh no,

677
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:01,719
