And that is just such a 64 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: stupid sentiment. That is the sort of sentiment like if 65 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: if Fred Armison was doing a mock woke thing, he 66 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: would say that sort of thing in people's chair, because 67 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: that one's just too stupid. Yeah, that's straight out of Portlandia. 68 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: You're exactly right, it really is. I mean, you can 69 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: be anti ice in their tactics and stuff like that. 70 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: I wish you wouldn't do it on awards shows, which 71 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: you just you know, but the no one's allegaling stolen 72 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: land is just moronic. Yeah yeah does she does she know? 73 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: It's it's childlike. I think that was Billie Eilish for 74 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: what it's worth. Yeah, it was so younger than Lady 75 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: Gaga either. Well, but no, it's it's very very childlike. 76 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 2: It is. 77 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: It's like like if your eight year old said that, 78 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: why I understand your eight and then you explain it 79 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: to him and they say, oh, okay, well then that 80 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: doesn't make much sense. 81 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 2: Yeah wow, But but people cheered. 82 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: People didn't sit there and think, well, that doesn't make 83 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: any sense, or that's a dumb or human beings have 84 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: the capacity to believe absolutely anything, certain sorts of human 85 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: beings if the people around them say good for you, 86 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: they're you a good good girl, good girl, and you 87 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: just have that reinforced enough and you will repeat absolute nonsense. 88 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: Where where do they think the French live or the Germans? 89 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: Where do they think they live? They live on not 90 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: stolen land that's been in the hands of once completely. 91 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 2: Do you have anything but sirrel it hasn't changed hands 92 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 2: four hundred times in the last thousand years with different 93 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: sorts of people with different names. 94 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: Right, no human being is illegal. I think we should celebrates. 95 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: It's on the stolen land part that drives me so crazy. 96 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: What are you talking about? Oh, I know, it's an 97 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 2: idiotic notion. I don't know. That bothers me so much. 98 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: Well, the reason it bothers me so much because a 99 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: musician who's spent their whole life writing poetry and not 100 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: paying attention to history classes. Fine, doesn't really make any difference. 101 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: But with the national conversation we're having right now about 102 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: immigration and people so roiled up and fighting in the 103 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,239 Speaker 1: streets and and cops being docked and people getting shot 104 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: and everything like that, it'd be nice if we could 105 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: come to some sort of conclusion on what's real and 106 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: what's not. 107 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: It actually would be nice. 108 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: Having people cheer something as stupid as we're on stolen 109 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: land does not help the discussion where there's actual violence occurring. No, Well, 110 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: they don't have any interest in pursuing that sort of conversation. 111 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: They're not even aware it exists. I don't think, except 112 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: in maybe a dim, far off way. Yeah, I suppose 113 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: you're right.

Harvey Mason Junior, 147 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: the Chief executive of the Recording Academy, delivered brief remarks 148 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: at the Grammys last night and challenging times. Music never 149 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:54,679 Speaker 1: stands still in movies. 150 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: Ah, it's good. 151 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: Please, It moves, it heals, it pushes forward. This is 152 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: the other thing I've always about the Grammys and the 153 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: Oscars in particular, is these people have convinced themselves that 154 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: what they're doing is important. Maybe they have to do that, 155 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: because otherwise it's just like I got really lucky that 156 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: I can make a living basic doing a hobby that 157 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: I love. But if you convince yourself it's important, like 158 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: you're changing the world because your music and your movie. No, 159 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: you're not briefly entertaining and I'll never remember it again. 160 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 1: Ninety nine percent of the time, the other one percent 161 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: at the time slightly more impact than once, Like every 162 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: thirty years, some music or a movie actually has any impact. 163 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 5: But that's it. 164 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: Relaxed, You're a relax You're a clown. You're basically like 165 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: a clown. You're entertaining and it has no meaning. It's fine, 166 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: that has no meaning. Doesn't mean you don't get to 167 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: be a guitar player.

Yeah, but 341 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: five minutes on a national newscast about the kid with 342 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: the floppy years. 343 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 2: Wow. 344 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: Wow, we're a soft headed country, or at least viewers 345 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: of ABC News are anyway, speaking of the country and 346 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: immigration and that sort of thing. 347 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 2: How timely is this? 348 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: The latest Census Bureau population estimates are in halfway through 349 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: the twenty twenties. They show a tectonic shift in America's 350 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: population and a decided preference among Americans to vote with 351 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: their feet for red state over blue state governance, it 352 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: would seem. 353 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 2: And also that's some shocking. 354 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting, fitting in with I thought we've had 355 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,239 Speaker 1: some things in recent years that people aren't moving like 356 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: they used to. 357 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 2: So both those things are happening. 358 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: Ah, yes, So to the extent that anybody is moving, 359 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: it's that. 360 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 2: Well, that's interesting. 361 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: So people don't move anymore unless where unless you hate 362 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: the politics where you live so much, then you'll move. 363 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: But you won't for like other reasons or the expense, yeah, 364 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 1: or the taxes or what have you. But well, that's 365 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,719 Speaker 1: essentially politics. And they also throw in in the National 366 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: Review the dramatic demographic effects of replacing Joe Biden's border 367 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: policies with those of Donald Trump. The tease I saw 368 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: to this story was actually perfect. 369 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 2: It's funny. 370 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: It's not the headline. It was essentially Red states gained population. 371 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: Blue states dangerously dependent on illegal immigration to maintain any 372 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: sort of population. So the population grew slowly in twenty 373 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: twenty five. That was mostly because of the border. On 374 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: the whole, we have added ten point three million people 375 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: since the twenty twenty census to bring us to a 376 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: total of three hundred and forty one point eight million 377 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: people in the United States. Three forty one almost three 378 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: forty two. Yeah, only a fifth of that growth. Okay, 379 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: so we grew by ten point three million. Here's the 380 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: key part. Only a fifth of that growth, one point 381 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: nine million, has been from the natural increase of births 382 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,719 Speaker 1: over deaths. The other eight point three million, eighty percent 383 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: have been new arrivals. The low rate of berths by itself, 384 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,719 Speaker 1: of course, is deeply concerning the notion of a future 385 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: in which we add four new immigrants for every net 386 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: baby is alarming. So if Biden hadn't opened the borders, 387 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: I wonder where it would be. That's a good question, 388 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: because population didn't grow much in twenty twenty five because 389 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: of immigration related numbers. 390 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 2: So here's a little more data for you. 391 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: Had. Net international immigrant migration shot up on why has 392 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: immigration become migration? Who decreed that? The left did and 393 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: y'all fell for it, dumb mastereds. Anyway, net international immigration 394 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: shot up under Biden from one point seven million in 395 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two to two point two million, then two 396 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: point seven million in a year, fell off to under 397 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: one point three million in twenty twenty five, and the 398 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: foreign born population actually dipped down to fifty two million 399 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: people last year. But fifty two million out of the 400 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: three hundred and forty two million are foreign born in 401 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 1: the United States right now the list of fastest growing 402 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: states in twenty twenty five. And you're supposed to just yes, 403 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: and you're supposed to just automatically think that's amazing and 404 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 1: fantastic nation of immigrants.

But if you look at the 476 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: numbers four international immigration, legal and illegal, Blue States gained 477 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: three point three million people from net international migration compared 478 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: with it's about four hundred thousand less in Red States. 479 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: So the long and short of it is the Blue 480 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: States population losses would be extremely surprising, shocking attention getting 481 00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: if it were not for both legal and illegal international immigration. 482 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: Foreigners are moving into the Blue States because they've seen 483 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 1: them on TV back in the home country, I guess, 484 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 1: but Americans. 485 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 2: Generally are flowing hour. 486 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: So while I mocked the movie Millennia last week because 487 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: I don't understand why we pay attention to first ladies 488 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: no matter who they are. 489 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 2: You're a mocker, I begged you to take it more seriously. 490 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: The movie made a lot of money over the weekend, 491 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: set some records for documentaries of any kind.

My point 625 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: is that these celebrities, something has been said time and 626 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: time again, they don't have a clue.

I mean, but he reacts on a 644 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: long post and a lawsuit. 645 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 2: Oh my god, a loss.

And don't say 654 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: she was scared because she charged the guy like a 655 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: WW wrestler that was just called chicken.
