<v Speaker 2>You?

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Really happy with both.

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:11.559
<v Speaker 2>My titles this morning. Huge, Really pleased with myself. Ah,

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.399
<v Speaker 2>I've been one of the problems with doing this job

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 2>for this many years is most of the things I say,

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.759
<v Speaker 2>I've said ten to fifty times.

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 1>But I'm hating humanity.

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:28.479
<v Speaker 2>But here's one of the things I've said many, many

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:30.839
<v Speaker 2>times over the years. When they launched a new round

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 2>of sanctions against Iran or Iraq or North Korea back

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:39.680
<v Speaker 2>in the day, when they're trying to stop them to

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>get a nuclear weapon, which obviously didn't work. But all

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 2>these different things is.

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>If you got these, why.

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Didn't you do this earlier?

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:48.800
<v Speaker 1>We're at war or.

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 2>This is a huge crisis and you said you're gonna

0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 2>punish him? What so you're holding back on the real sanctions.

0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:00.639
<v Speaker 2>We're seven months into the war. Why were you holding

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 2>back on some of these sanctions?

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you why.

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 2>And this does not mean your point isn't a valid one.

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Every sanction bruises somebody other than the person you're sanctioning,

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 2>and and the stricter and harsher of the sanctions, the

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.240
<v Speaker 2>more bruising. There are of people who say, as I

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 2>often do, hey why did I come in for a kick?

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>And all of a sudden I get.

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:27.079
<v Speaker 2>That, But it wasn't a we're really at a point

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:31.400
<v Speaker 2>of difficulty here earlier than this seems like we were,

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.640
<v Speaker 2>I hear you. Anyway, So yeah, new round of sanctions,

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:38.079
<v Speaker 2>which do sound like a pretty big deal on all

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.239
<v Speaker 2>kinds of Well, have to play that clip of Scott

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Besson laying it out. This is the the strongest package

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 2>package of sanctions on and biggest and strongest package of

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 2>sanctions that have ever been unleashed. Economic sanctions. Oh and uh,

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 2>it'll be and it'll be on every country that does

0:02:56.480 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 2>business with Iran. They don't come around China, in our India,

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:02.920
<v Speaker 2>some of our friends. That sort of stuff. You got

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 2>to stop doing business. That's the problem that always happens.

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 2>My favorite example is always a band. When we had

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 2>strong sanctions on Iraq and we ended up going to

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:12.480
<v Speaker 2>war with them and we had what do we have there?

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 2>At one point one hundred thousand troops, one hundred and

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 2>fifty thousand troops, France was still doing business with them

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.639
<v Speaker 2>behind our back to get around the sanctions because oh well, well,

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.960
<v Speaker 2>you know you gotta make money. Well you remember the

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Secretary General and his boy of the UN. The UN

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Secretary General and his son were doing big business and

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:34.559
<v Speaker 2>making tons of money as those sanctions were in effects

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 2>as approved by the UN. So yeah, it's everybody cheats,

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>everybody lies, everybody pursues.

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Their own self interest.

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 2>I've got a tale of a near tragedy avoided. Oh no,

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 2>this morning. So I run into work every single day.

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 2>As I've mentioned many times, I've done been doing this

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 2>since I was nineteen years old, my entire radio career,

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 2>working morning radio for some reason I'd do it to

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 2>get a heart pumping on everything like that, get jazzed

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 2>up for the show. At the point that I can

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 2>no longer running, I guess I'll have to call it

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 2>a day. But it's not exceeded a saunter since nineteen

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 2>eighty eight. I was running today. I'm wearing red Wing

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>work boots eight seventy five classic model Steve McQueen, everyone else.

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Very cool, very cool boot.

0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.119
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, I'm running in and I trip a little

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.720
<v Speaker 2>on a crack and a sidewalk and stumble a little bit,

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 2>catch myself, but realize in the little planter thing on

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 2>ground level where they've got you know, it's just like

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.360
<v Speaker 2>there's a tile of cement missing and there's a tree

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:38.679
<v Speaker 2>coming out of it, like they do in urban parks.

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:43.039
<v Speaker 2>But the sprinkler thing is on a metal rod, a

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:47.600
<v Speaker 2>tiny mital rod. It's like a drinking straw size, only

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 2>it's a metal rod sticking up out of the ground.

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 2>And I stumbled, and I'm looking right at that thing,

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.600
<v Speaker 2>and I thought, if I had gone down, that thing

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.159
<v Speaker 2>would have been paled me clear through my torso my

0:04:58.240 --> 0:04:59.160
<v Speaker 2>final destination.

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:00.720
<v Speaker 1>It would have stuck clear.

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.159
<v Speaker 2>Out my back. I mean is long enough and pointy enough,

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 2>and I just wonder, well, one that would have been

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 2>the sort of story that makes national news. Sure, yeah,

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know if it was that.

0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 1>A week and a half.

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Two weeks ago, we had a couple of impaling stories

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.600
<v Speaker 2>in a row. In our Impaling Story of the Week,

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 2>they come in threes, people being impaled. That would have

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 2>been a lame way to go out, Jack, I know.

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.039
<v Speaker 2>Lame way to die is whoever's next showing up to

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 2>work and sees me on the ground with that sticking

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.159
<v Speaker 2>out in my back, thinks well, that's not good. I

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 2>should call someone. I suppose I have a horrifying story

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.680
<v Speaker 2>of that sort, but I'm going to withhold it, showing

0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.279
<v Speaker 2>restraint for once in my life. No, no joke. That

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.279
<v Speaker 2>could have happened if I, if I'd have gone down,

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 2>very easily could have impaled me. It is a tiny

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 2>enough spike it would easily just go right through me.

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 2>And it reminded me of this is a horrifying story

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.479
<v Speaker 2>of for a cup of coffee. Maybe they're still popular.

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:00.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't see them around like I used to. Uh

0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 2>for environmental reasons and because the humble sea turtle was

0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.280
<v Speaker 2>dying by the millions because of straws, which turned out

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 2>to be bogus. People were trying to do away with

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:15.159
<v Speaker 2>plastic straws, so one solution in California was paper straws,

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 2>which are useless. Another thing was they started selling those

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:21.479
<v Speaker 2>like aluminium straws that you would wash and reuse, so

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.160
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't have a blessed anyway. Remember the story is

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.200
<v Speaker 2>in the New York Post, of course, of a woman

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 2>who had one of those aluminum straws, and she stumbled

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.840
<v Speaker 2>and went down through her eye socket and out her

0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 2>head and killed her. Oh Lord, impaled clear through her head. Wow,

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:43.159
<v Speaker 2>you have to assume God didn't want you, right, how'd

0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:44.159
<v Speaker 2>your sister die?

0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.839
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry about it. I'm not gonna tell you. I

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 1>don't know.

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Well now I really want to know.

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:50.480
<v Speaker 1>You don't.

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.720
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't. I'm not gonna tell you. It's just

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 2>this makes me want to know more. Trust me. Sorry, Okay,

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 2>let's start hurt the show officially. There is stuff to

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 2>talk about today. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this.

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 2>How did it already get to be frye? August twenty first,

<v Speaker 2>of this program. There's some people who just hate I know,

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 2>for some reason, I enjoyed every time I say it.

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's begin the show now officially according to

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 2>f C see rules the rags.

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Here we go at Mark. You bet so somebody just

0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 1>cut this off? Uh huh, let's cut up here. Oh

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:37.920
<v Speaker 1>that's a Minnesotan.

0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh you batcha talking about anti flock camera activists getting

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 2>up there and just cutting the thing down.

0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Name, that's what it sounded like.

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Apparently I've never vandalized anything in my life, but you

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 2>might be able to get me on board with that. Depends.

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 1>That's controversial.

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 2>I know it is. I don't like that. I didn't

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 2>vote for that. Who nobody voted for that. We didn't

0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 2>have a good discussion about this. He just showed up.

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well, I'm looking forward to hearing your discussion with

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Anastasia Boden of the Pacific Legal Foundation during our.

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Four of the show. Is that correct?

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeahs. I have a lovely opportunity to attend my youngest child's,

0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 2>who is a full grown adult now law school mock

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 2>trial finals, and so I will be doing that.

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to miss the end of the show.

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 2>I apologize deeply, humbly, and insincerely, as are you a

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 2>defendant question? Oh, that'd be fun, and I will testify

0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.719
<v Speaker 2>on my own behalf damn it. I'm an innocent be

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:51.480
<v Speaker 2>here are my words, Sarah, sit down. Trump is going

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 2>to South Carolina to try to rally Lindsey Graham's sisters support,

0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:03.280
<v Speaker 2>and that woman should not be a US senator. I

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 2>think I agree with you, I really do. Her opponent,

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Ralph Norman, I don't know his agage. I don't know

0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.880
<v Speaker 2>his act at all. Not a staunch conservative, great conservative record.

0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:19.560
<v Speaker 2>He's seventy three running for a six year term. Her

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.960
<v Speaker 2>answer in the debate the other day is disqualifying. Yes,

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:25.480
<v Speaker 2>we'll play that later if you don't know it. We

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 2>get headlines on the way we go, clips of the week,

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:35.760
<v Speaker 2>lots of stuff coming up. Stay here. We got some

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 2>good audio today from crazy people that is kind of

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:46.199
<v Speaker 2>modern news. Really, it's like the modern newsflow. People say

0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:52.679
<v Speaker 2>crazy things out loud on video, and then there are

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 2>those of you out there who compile them various political

0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:01.400
<v Speaker 2>bents or reaction to news stories or whatever that are

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.120
<v Speaker 2>just amazing. And we've got a lot of those today.

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.439
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, yeah, you're always concerned about nutpicking. I think

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 2>in a lot of cases the nuttiness is in the

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 2>philosophy and the ideas, and they are widely held. So yeah,

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.800
<v Speaker 2>some of that to come. I propose we just Kareene

0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.720
<v Speaker 2>from story to story. I have so many interesting things

0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:26.360
<v Speaker 2>to talk about today. I like Kareem after another careening

0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:30.719
<v Speaker 2>on a Friday. Yes, yes, all right, let's begin by

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 2>figuring out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Katie Green Katie.

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 3>Alrighty, starting with the Alphabet networks. CBS Iran looks to

0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:42.600
<v Speaker 3>boost regional trade ties as United States turns from bombs

0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 3>to economic warfare. CNBC oil prices head for a second

0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 3>weekly rise as the United States abouts to turn up

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:55.240
<v Speaker 3>the economic pressure on Iran, and CNN. Iran condemns Trump's

0:10:55.240 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 3>threat of quote economic d Day against Tehran condemns m hm.

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Sure, okay, they have to do this, go ahead. They

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 2>have to be worried about this Iran. They have to think,

0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:13.439
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, yeah, they've already got rampant inflation, unemployment, growing

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 2>discontent in the streets. But I tell you one thing

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 2>about rains of terror. They work you machine gun. Forty

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 2>fifty thousand people, you pull them out of hospital beds

0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:26.440
<v Speaker 2>and torture them to death. Everybody hears about it. Everybody thinks, yeah,

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:30.560
<v Speaker 2>you protest. New York Times.

0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 3>Canada is considering United States trade deal as deadline nears.

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we didn't even talk about the Trump threat fifty

0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.720
<v Speaker 2>percent tariff on Canadian goods, and then he backed off

0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 2>at five till midnight. The other night, he was up late,

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 2>five minutes till midnight. The tariff is off. We've come

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 2>to an agreement and no details, and nobody knows there

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 2>actually was an agreement or whatever. And what we're playing

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 2>ultimate hardball with is is the North American Free Trade

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Agreement or the successor to that that Trump himself negotiated

0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.040
<v Speaker 2>and hailed as the best agreement in the history of agreements.

0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:11.560
<v Speaker 2>But because he's Trump, because it's up for renewal, it's

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.440
<v Speaker 2>time to just beat the crap out of everybody else

0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 2>involved in the negotiation. From the Wall Street Journal, even

0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 2>if there are friends and allies, which I don't think

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.559
<v Speaker 2>is a good long term strategy, Yes, Katie.

0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 3>Wall Street Journal, California draws more startup investment than all

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:32.800
<v Speaker 3>other forty nine States combined.

0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, if I'm gabbing news of my tout that

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 2>why does California, when it ranks fiftieth almost every year

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.599
<v Speaker 2>in business climate and all the different other things, continue

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.840
<v Speaker 2>to be such a hub for the most innovative companies

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 2>on Earth, you know, for decades and decades part of

0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:55.560
<v Speaker 2>its momentum. I think inertia, they're here, They're in California, USA.

0:12:55.600 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 3>Today, Americans are drinking less alcohol than ever before.

0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Man, I wouldn't have predicted that. Hey, they're saying it's

0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:11.239
<v Speaker 2>at a record low. We're more anxious, we're more depressed

0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 2>at each other's throats divided sounds like a recipe for

0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:18.439
<v Speaker 2>having a couple of pops to me.

0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 3>Right from the Washington Post, neighbors say Gordon Ramsey's burger

0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:32.360

<v Speaker 2>Wow. I've probably had periods of my life where that

0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:11.600
<v Speaker 2>was true. The dog ate better this week than I did,

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:16.720

<v Speaker 3>and now she has to start all over.

0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no kidding, sitting in your car or walking or whatever. God,

<v Speaker 2>those thing is performative, It really really is.

0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Stop it.

0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Had a comment on one of those stories, but don't

0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.880
<v Speaker 2>remember what it was, unfortunately from earlier. Oh yeah, I'm sure.

0:15:58.800 --> 0:15:59.520
<v Speaker 1>We'll get track.

0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Five minutes, got tracked by day. Yeah, I'm sure we'll

0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 2>get to that later. Whatever it is. We got clips

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 2>of the week coming up. If you don't know what,

0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 2>we're referring to. Lindsey Graham, who dropped dead out of

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:15.240
<v Speaker 2>nowhere with a heart attack a while back, and his

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.080
<v Speaker 2>sister immediately emerged as a candidate to take his seat,

0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.520
<v Speaker 2>which bothered me from the get go because I don't want.

0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:22.440
<v Speaker 1>The ortic dissection.

0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 2>But you got the dead part, right, that's the bottom line,

0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 2>anything with your heart's a heart attack. To me, it's

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 2>all the sound. His sister immediately jumps up to, well,

0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.160
<v Speaker 2>she should be the senator, which I don't get at all,

0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.600
<v Speaker 2>just because you have the same last name. I don't

0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.480
<v Speaker 2>understand that at all. But to fill the seat until

0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:46.160
<v Speaker 2>the election in November. Fine, yeah, okay, But immediately I

0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.720
<v Speaker 2>remember people saying, you know, she was very close to him,

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.000
<v Speaker 2>and you know they were very tight, an advisor he

0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.880
<v Speaker 2>would turn to. Clearly he was not turning to her

0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.880
<v Speaker 2>for any advice on anything since she got asked by

0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Taiwan and her answer was I don't really know anything

0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.800
<v Speaker 2>about four policy. She couldn't even make up an answer,

0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.040
<v Speaker 2>which alone is enough reason not to be a senator.

0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 2>You're you're not quick enough on your feet and verbal

0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:10.960
<v Speaker 2>enough right here, curious and curious enough about the world. Yeah,

0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:12.320
<v Speaker 2>that's unbelievable.

0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:14.640
<v Speaker 1>That was a serious bloater her chances.

0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.119
<v Speaker 2>God, I'd say Clips of the Week next, and then

0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:22.080
<v Speaker 2>we'll get into the Koremi love the story from Mark

0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Alpern's column today. Let's talk about this more later. Listen

0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:28.480
<v Speaker 2>to this. There's not a single twenty twenty six candidate

0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:33.640
<v Speaker 2>in any race, either party with a polster who isn't

0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:38.000
<v Speaker 2>telling them to adopt an anti data center position and

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:41.560
<v Speaker 2>to accuse their opposition of being pro data center. Wow,

0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.120
<v Speaker 2>that's the that's the best position to take, no matter

0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:48.800
<v Speaker 2>what party, what your constituency, what race, right to be

0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.080
<v Speaker 2>anti data center and it'd say the other girl, guy

0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:51.800

0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.000
<v Speaker 1>It was just people dressing up and singing.

0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:54.160
<v Speaker 3>Care and cannibility circles work better than punishing people who

0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:56.840
<v Speaker 3>have engaged in sexual harm to make them stop.

0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Also, what we saw were kinds of poverty, people who

0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:04.280
<v Speaker 2>are stealing things like to the base. So we imagine

0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:07.680
<v Speaker 2>a future society without the nation state, right so, and

0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:09.879
<v Speaker 2>without money.

0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Socialism is more gear toward like helping the people in

0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:18.920
<v Speaker 1>your you know, the governs can please Tennis.

0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:24.240
<v Speaker 2>We're'm gonna say, what's the grow up? I just wanted

0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:26.080
<v Speaker 2>to follow up on the period.

0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:28.359
<v Speaker 1>You're a loud, boisterous person.

0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:34.959
<v Speaker 2>You're faking. I trying to find out if you had

0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:41.359
<v Speaker 2>so handsOn. That woman that said we envision not having

0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:43.360
<v Speaker 2>a nation state all that sort of stuff, was that

0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:47.200
<v Speaker 2>the chick that is mom Donnie's housing person? Is that

0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:52.399
<v Speaker 2>who that was? Earth? Yeah? Oh that's say Ed's sister. Okay, gotcha.

0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:54.439
<v Speaker 2>There's so many of them it's hard to keep them

0:20:54.480 --> 0:21:00.320
<v Speaker 2>all straight. You envision doing away with the nations state

0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:07.520
<v Speaker 2>and money? Okay, that's a reasonable position. Man, what fuck?

0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:11.639
<v Speaker 2>All right, I'm gonna run on. Cats will walk upright

0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:18.040
<v Speaker 2>on their back feet, and we'll all start speaking Polynesian.

0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:22.119
<v Speaker 2>That is the future of America. That's what I'm bad. Yeah,

0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:24.640
<v Speaker 2>this is gonna happen by twenty twenty eight. That's where

0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:28.240
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna go with. We're speaking about a careening from

0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:30.240
<v Speaker 2>issue to issue to issue, which we plan to do.

0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Got a good clip from Gavin Newsom. We're gonna get

0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:36.680
<v Speaker 2>to a little bit later. It's become quite a thing

0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:42.120
<v Speaker 2>that they no longer use the SAT scores to qualify

0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:45.840
<v Speaker 2>people to get into universities because they were racist or

0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:49.199
<v Speaker 2>whatever they decided. Uh, and so they did away with it,

0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:53.440
<v Speaker 2>and now we have endless universities, including a good one

0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:56.239
<v Speaker 2>from Berkeley just the other day, where this professor had

0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:58.440
<v Speaker 2>the guts to come out and say, look, we got

0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:00.760
<v Speaker 2>to do something. I'm getting all these students they can't

0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:03.359
<v Speaker 2>do basic math. I can't teach them the stuff we

0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:05.240
<v Speaker 2>need to teach him here at Berkeley if they show

0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:08.439
<v Speaker 2>up not being able to do basic fractions. Anyway, Gavin

0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Newsome asked about it yesterday, and we'll play the clip

0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:13.440
<v Speaker 2>a little bit later where he hums and haws it. Look,

0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:16.680
<v Speaker 2>it's an issue of fairness. Show me the data. I mean,

0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:18.679
<v Speaker 2>once I see the data, I'll make a decision and

0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:23.639
<v Speaker 2>just won't take a stand on that. This is what

0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:26.560
<v Speaker 2>a weird time to be alive. Yeah, he does not

0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:29.280
<v Speaker 2>have the game he thinks he has. Plus he's so

0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:33.400
<v Speaker 2>beholden to certain groups be it, you know, And that's

0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:38.200
<v Speaker 2>that's very similar to the whole transgender athlete. It's a

0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:42.720
<v Speaker 2>question of fairness there, but the grace of God, he

0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:46.119
<v Speaker 2>just he knows he's stuck in between a rock and

0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:48.560
<v Speaker 2>a hard place, the rock being the truth and the

0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:51.440
<v Speaker 2>hard place being his radical supporters, or in the case

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:55.120
<v Speaker 2>of the education thing, the teachers' unions. I was in

0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:58.359
<v Speaker 2>a lunch yesterday with some corporate types and one of them,

0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:00.920
<v Speaker 2>throughout the question, we got into talking about politics and

0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:02.679
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight and that sort of stuff, and one of

0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:05.639
<v Speaker 2>them said, do you think Gavin Newsom actually believes people

0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:09.720
<v Speaker 2>like him? That's an interesting question. Yeah, I think he

0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:14.119
<v Speaker 2>believes people like him. But you know, I listen you

0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:17.000
<v Speaker 2>like you do. I take in a ton of podcasts

0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:19.800
<v Speaker 2>and punditry and all that sort of stuff. Gavin Newsom's

0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:22.680
<v Speaker 2>name hasn't popped up much lately anytime they get into

0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:23.879
<v Speaker 2>the who do you think is going to be the

0:23:23.920 --> 0:23:26.840
<v Speaker 2>nominee in twenty eight? Lately his name hasn't popped up

0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:28.600
<v Speaker 2>like there. For a while, it was always his name,

0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:33.760
<v Speaker 2>and lately it has not been. And it's more AOC Kamala,

0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Harris Shapiro those that crowd, But AOC keeps coming up

0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:42.760
<v Speaker 2>over and over oh my god, please nominator anyway. I

0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:44.720
<v Speaker 2>didn't mean to get off on that. Oh no, that's

0:23:44.720 --> 0:23:47.639
<v Speaker 2>all right. Has struck me as so completely ridiculous in

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:50.639
<v Speaker 2>a non starter for so long, But in these weird,

0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:53.960
<v Speaker 2>populous times, if the Republican involved made a misstep, that

0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:57.160
<v Speaker 2>could happen. Oh, and understanding the way primaries work, right,

0:23:57.920 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 2>you don't need to appeal to that many people to

0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:08.480
<v Speaker 2>get the nomination in either party. Yeah, yeah, oh, you're right.

0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh.

0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Brett Stevens, the token conservative for the New York Times,

0:24:12.000 --> 0:24:16.560
<v Speaker 2>wrote a great piece about that where he said, yeah,

0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:20.840
<v Speaker 2>woke one was crazy. Uh, but where's the accountability? And

0:24:21.000 --> 0:24:25.800
<v Speaker 2>he goes he lists person after person after person who

0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:30.840
<v Speaker 2>was ruined for saying something completely mainstream that again now

0:24:31.040 --> 0:24:34.119
<v Speaker 2>you could say again and it would have no repercussions.

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:38.320
<v Speaker 2>And he makes a powerful, powerful case. I would like

0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:40.440
<v Speaker 2>to hear that list. We want to be a class action.

0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:42.840
<v Speaker 2>I know legally it'd be hard to get this together,

0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:46.680
<v Speaker 2>but a class action among people who were victimized by

0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:50.440
<v Speaker 2>the whole horrific woke apocalypse. Would this be names and

0:24:50.520 --> 0:24:54.399
<v Speaker 2>stories we all remember mostly from his column and examples.

0:24:57.119 --> 0:25:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Perhaps I remember several of them, but we don't have

0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:02.439
<v Speaker 2>to dig into that. That would be a pretty good one. Anyway,

0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:03.600
<v Speaker 2>we got a lot more on the way. We're going

0:25:03.680 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 2>to get into mail bag and some of the other

0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:07.399
<v Speaker 2>stories of the day, and just koreem from topic to topic.

0:25:07.400 --> 0:25:08.479
<v Speaker 2>It'll be real good. Stay here.

0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:16.040
<v Speaker 2>I was just reading this article the Wall Street Journal,

0:25:16.040 --> 0:25:20.359
<v Speaker 2>of which I understand about five percent about the really

0:25:20.480 --> 0:25:24.240
<v Speaker 2>intricate parts of the economy and the market that most

0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:27.040
<v Speaker 2>of us don't pay any attention to. Uh, and it's

0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:31.680
<v Speaker 2>not good news. And it's a weird mid August. What

0:25:31.720 --> 0:25:33.680
<v Speaker 2>the hell is going on? Maybe I'll get to that

0:25:33.720 --> 0:25:38.160
<v Speaker 2>a little later, a little more unprecedented. That's good, right, Yeah? Yeah,

0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:41.760
<v Speaker 2>super so mentioned Brett Stevens calming The New York Times

0:25:41.800 --> 0:25:46.639
<v Speaker 2>about how AOC laughed off Wolk one and and he says,

0:25:46.840 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 2>good for AO se acknowledging mistakes. Now, can we have

0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:51.720
<v Speaker 2>some accountability for the vast damage that Woke one point

0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:53.560
<v Speaker 2>zero did not to mention the damage that Woke two

0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:56.439
<v Speaker 2>point oh continues to do. And he points out that

0:25:56.480 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't just an Orwellian linguistic fad or a tedious

0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:02.680
<v Speaker 2>set of corporate training sessions and cultural sensitivity et cetera,

0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:05.159
<v Speaker 2>as it was experienced by those on the wrong end

0:26:05.160 --> 0:26:08.600
<v Speaker 2>of it. It was a system of enforced ideological conformity, policed

0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:13.560
<v Speaker 2>by social bullying and institutional coercion or cowardice, which damaged

0:26:13.600 --> 0:26:16.360
<v Speaker 2>and sometimes even ended reputations, careers, and at least one

0:26:16.359 --> 0:26:19.280
<v Speaker 2>man's life. Restitution if only in the form of honest

0:26:19.280 --> 0:26:22.440
<v Speaker 2>contrition and perhaps even a public apology is in order.

0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:24.080
<v Speaker 1>And then he goes through.

0:26:24.240 --> 0:26:26.960
<v Speaker 2>The top editor for the Philadelphia and Choir that's the

0:26:26.960 --> 0:26:29.720
<v Speaker 2>big newspaper in Philly, had to resign for his job

0:26:29.800 --> 0:26:32.160
<v Speaker 2>and issue a groveling apology for the sin of running

0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:35.240
<v Speaker 2>an article by the paper's architecture critic with the headline

0:26:35.320 --> 0:26:39.399
<v Speaker 2>buildings matter too or you know, and they're a bunch

0:26:39.440 --> 0:26:40.640
<v Speaker 2>of bunch of.

0:26:40.560 --> 0:26:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Examples that are just laughable.

0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:45.720
<v Speaker 2>The thing that got him fired was a headline saying

0:26:46.040 --> 0:26:50.000
<v Speaker 2>buildings lives matter too. No buildings matter too. Didn't even

0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:53.280
<v Speaker 2>have lives in it, so no buildings matter too. At

0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:55.879
<v Speaker 2>the height of George Floyd was enough to get you fired.

0:26:56.359 --> 0:26:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, insane.

0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Here's a radio side podcast host who was suspended indefinitely

0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:10.119
<v Speaker 2>because he stated it's sometimes permissible for a non black

0:27:10.119 --> 0:27:13.200
<v Speaker 2>person to quote a racial slur in narrow context. He

0:27:13.240 --> 0:27:15.959
<v Speaker 2>didn't even use it. He just said it is permissible

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:18.879
<v Speaker 2>to use it as a if you're talking about racial slurs.

0:27:18.880 --> 0:27:22.760
<v Speaker 2>And he was essentially fired for that. Wow. James Bennett,

0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:25.160
<v Speaker 2>former editor of the New York Times opinion section, forced

0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:27.520
<v Speaker 2>from his job after publishing an essay from a sitting

0:27:27.560 --> 0:27:28.480
<v Speaker 2>senator Tom Cotton.

0:27:28.600 --> 0:27:30.119
<v Speaker 1>Remember that to be right about most of it?

0:27:30.200 --> 0:27:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, remember that that was crazy. That was Tom Cotton

0:27:33.080 --> 0:27:34.919
<v Speaker 2>arguing that we should put the National Guard on the

0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:37.480
<v Speaker 2>streets I think, to try to calm things down. Which

0:27:37.600 --> 0:27:39.919
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to agree with that, but that's perfectly

0:27:40.000 --> 0:27:43.920
<v Speaker 2>reasonable to let a US senator make that case right

0:27:44.960 --> 0:27:47.800
<v Speaker 2>in the New York Times. Well one more example, just

0:27:47.800 --> 0:27:50.080
<v Speaker 2>because I can't resist, because I remember this at the

0:27:50.119 --> 0:27:54.440
<v Speaker 2>time and still makes me insane. Jason Kilbourne, University of

0:27:54.480 --> 0:27:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Illinois Chicago law professor, who was barred from campus and

0:27:57.359 --> 0:28:00.000
<v Speaker 2>placed on administrative leave because he had used the first

0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:04.760
<v Speaker 2>two letters I'm sorry, the first letter of two slurs

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:08.440
<v Speaker 2>in his civil procedure exam on a front the Black

0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Law Students Association described as mental terrorism SORR. He referred

0:28:12.840 --> 0:28:15.600
<v Speaker 2>to the N word, and I don't know what else. Uh, yeah,

0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:18.159
<v Speaker 2>I think there was a I don't remember what the

0:28:18.200 --> 0:28:20.040
<v Speaker 2>other ear so that was moving the line or the

0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:23.800
<v Speaker 2>overton window from you can't say the word you need

0:28:23.840 --> 0:28:25.639
<v Speaker 2>to say the N word too. You can't even say

0:28:26.000 --> 0:28:30.560
<v Speaker 2>the inWORD right or even N dot dot dot. And

0:28:30.600 --> 0:28:32.760
<v Speaker 2>it was a law class about a woman filing a

0:28:32.800 --> 0:28:35.640
<v Speaker 2>discrimination case because somebody had dropped an nbomb on her.

0:28:35.640 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Did you read Harry Potter? You remember the whole Voldemort thing.

0:28:38.800 --> 0:28:41.120
<v Speaker 2>They couldn't say it didn't that seem nuts? Nope, that

0:28:41.200 --> 0:28:44.760
<v Speaker 2>actually happened. Is happening in the United States of America.

0:28:45.240 --> 0:28:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Here's a woman railroaded out of Harvard after a TV

0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:49.760
<v Speaker 2>appearance in which she said that the terms male and

0:28:49.840 --> 0:28:53.440
<v Speaker 2>female were scientifically essential, even if she insisted that facts

0:28:53.440 --> 0:28:56.160
<v Speaker 2>about biology shouldn't prevent us from treating people with respect.

0:28:58.000 --> 0:28:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Sounds like a Nazi to me.

0:28:59.600 --> 0:29:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, kidding, unbelievable.

0:29:01.080 --> 0:29:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Here's your freedom loving crazy. Yeah, oh my god, I'm

0:29:05.960 --> 0:29:08.080
<v Speaker 2>so angry and to the point that walk woke two

0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:09.720
<v Speaker 2>is a thing and going on right now. We've got

0:29:09.680 --> 0:29:11.520
<v Speaker 2>a story later about this guy who had to leave

0:29:11.560 --> 0:29:14.760
<v Speaker 2>his job after eleven years at a prestigious newspaper in

0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Seattle first stating the truth about Sophie Cunningham and the

0:29:18.000 --> 0:29:21.360
<v Speaker 2>whole trans thing and specifically teenage athletes.

0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, we'll read his horrific offensive words to you and

0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:27.360
<v Speaker 2>let you be the judge. Here's your freedom loving quote

0:29:27.360 --> 0:29:31.360
<v Speaker 2>of the day. Badly needed. So interesting backstory on this one.

0:29:31.800 --> 0:29:35.560
<v Speaker 2>When Ronald Reagan lost the nomination for president to Jerry

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Ford in nineteen seventy six at the convention Ford one,

0:29:38.920 --> 0:29:41.840
<v Speaker 2>and he gave a speech and he he said, I

0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:45.040
<v Speaker 2>watched it just the day before yesterday. Oh my god,

0:29:45.240 --> 0:29:47.760
<v Speaker 2>how interesting. Here's a fifty year anniversary on Wednesday.

0:29:48.080 --> 0:29:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's why he came up.

0:29:49.360 --> 0:29:51.680
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, so Jerry Ford said, ron why didn't you

0:29:51.720 --> 0:29:53.280
<v Speaker 2>come up and say if you were, he was the

0:29:53.360 --> 0:29:55.680
<v Speaker 2>very greatest thing to do. This is such a good story.

0:29:56.120 --> 0:29:58.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh you know, when you lose in politics, you're bitter.

0:29:58.600 --> 0:30:00.280
<v Speaker 2>And they were bitter, and they hated each each other

0:30:00.320 --> 0:30:03.719
<v Speaker 2>at that time, as always happens in politics, Ford and Reagan.

0:30:04.000 --> 0:30:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Reagan loses to Ford barely the night that Ford's going

0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:10.280
<v Speaker 2>to give the big speech at the convention. You know, hey,

0:30:10.320 --> 0:30:14.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm the nominee. Reagan and Nancy and a couple other

0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:17.120
<v Speaker 2>people are across the street having drinks. He has had

0:30:17.320 --> 0:30:20.520
<v Speaker 2>no plan to speak, right, he was asked to speak

0:30:20.560 --> 0:30:22.880
<v Speaker 2>and he said no. His wife told him no, they

0:30:22.880 --> 0:30:24.360
<v Speaker 2>were open, or they weren't even going to be in

0:30:24.440 --> 0:30:27.840
<v Speaker 2>the arena for this thing, right as it was going on.

0:30:27.960 --> 0:30:30.000
<v Speaker 2>That's how he and then he ends up on stage

0:30:30.040 --> 0:30:32.560
<v Speaker 2>given what many people call the best convention speech ever.

0:30:33.040 --> 0:30:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Right in his best speech, perhaps, but so he said

0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:38.360
<v Speaker 2>the obligatory kind words about Jerry Ford, but having no plan,

0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:41.200
<v Speaker 2>he went into a riff about how he'd been asked.

0:30:40.920 --> 0:30:44.400
<v Speaker 1>To write a letter for a time capsule.

0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:48.400
<v Speaker 2>That's going to be opened in the year twenty seventy

0:30:48.480 --> 0:30:51.240
<v Speaker 2>thirty six, Yeah, the three hundredth anniversary of the country.

0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:54.760
<v Speaker 2>And he talks about the brainstorming he did about what

0:30:54.800 --> 0:30:56.680
<v Speaker 2>to write about and the issues of the day, and

0:30:56.800 --> 0:30:59.840
<v Speaker 2>how you know that probably wasn't the right a pro

0:31:01.000 --> 0:31:04.280
<v Speaker 2>including nuclear warfare or nuclear weapons control. And I'll pick

0:31:04.360 --> 0:31:07.400
<v Speaker 2>up his speech and this is our freedom loving quote.

0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:08.800
<v Speaker 1>And it suddenly dawned on me.

0:31:09.000 --> 0:31:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Those who read this letter one hundred years from now

0:31:11.280 --> 0:31:13.880
<v Speaker 2>will know whether those missiles were fired. They will know

0:31:13.920 --> 0:31:16.360
<v Speaker 2>whether we met our challenges, whether they will have the

0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:18.959
<v Speaker 2>freedom that we have known up until now will depend

0:31:19.000 --> 0:31:19.560
<v Speaker 2>on what.

0:31:19.400 --> 0:31:20.120
<v Speaker 1>We do here.

0:31:20.520 --> 0:31:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, they look back with appreciation and say thank God

0:31:23.360 --> 0:31:26.280
<v Speaker 2>for those people in nineteen seventy six who headed off

0:31:26.320 --> 0:31:28.760
<v Speaker 2>that loss of freedom, who kept us now one hundred

0:31:28.880 --> 0:31:32.280
<v Speaker 2>years later free, who kept a world from nuclear destruction.

0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:34.560
<v Speaker 2>And if we failed, they probably won't get to read

0:31:34.600 --> 0:31:37.040
<v Speaker 2>the letter at all because it spoke of individual freedom,

0:31:37.160 --> 0:31:39.120
<v Speaker 2>and they won't be allowed to talk of that or

0:31:39.160 --> 0:31:43.000
<v Speaker 2>read of it. That notion of what will the people

0:31:43.400 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 2>of one hundred years from now say about us? If

0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:50.600
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't energize you just a little bit, you're a

0:31:50.600 --> 0:31:52.480
<v Speaker 2>different sort of person than we are. Well, if you're

0:31:52.480 --> 0:31:55.720
<v Speaker 2>a political junkie. I found this interesting because I watched

0:31:55.760 --> 0:31:57.280
<v Speaker 2>it just the other day and read alone, I'm not

0:31:57.400 --> 0:32:00.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm an America junkie, So don't you ruin the mood

0:32:00.280 --> 0:32:02.480
<v Speaker 2>I've set. I read a long piece about it from

0:32:02.640 --> 0:32:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Scott Linskim of The Dispatch.

0:32:04.480 --> 0:32:06.080
<v Speaker 1>The crowd went wild.

0:32:06.320 --> 0:32:08.880
<v Speaker 2>He gave the speech right after Ford gave his big

0:32:08.920 --> 0:32:12.080
<v Speaker 2>expectance speech. It's a terrible idea to have anybody give

0:32:12.120 --> 0:32:14.720
<v Speaker 2>a speech after the right you know who the nominee is,

0:32:14.720 --> 0:32:17.920
<v Speaker 2>gives their speech. Anyway, Riggan comes out, gives a better speech.

0:32:17.960 --> 0:32:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Crowd goes wild and immediately, of course people were writing

0:32:21.360 --> 0:32:24.240
<v Speaker 2>and jaws were flapping about the did we nominate the

0:32:24.280 --> 0:32:29.080
<v Speaker 2>right guy immediately, like within sixty seconds of the guy.

0:32:28.960 --> 0:32:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Giving you what a horrible move? Yeah? Whoops ooops, Oh.

0:32:37.280 --> 0:32:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Boy, mailbag, please drop us note Mailbag at Armstrong and

0:32:41.240 --> 0:32:41.960

0:32:42.000 --> 0:32:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Polly writes more than Gentlemen.

0:32:44.400 --> 0:32:46.040
<v Speaker 2>Last Friday, I tuned in had one of the best

0:32:46.120 --> 0:32:48.800
<v Speaker 2>laughs I can remember listening to your your stuff about

0:32:48.960 --> 0:32:51.640
<v Speaker 2>those outdated coffee commercials and the tab commercial.

0:32:52.040 --> 0:32:53.680
<v Speaker 1>We could use a lot more of that right now.

0:32:54.240 --> 0:32:56.680
<v Speaker 2>How about make that an every Friday segment and pull

0:32:56.720 --> 0:32:58.920
<v Speaker 2>out old commercials to laugh at. Thank you always for

0:32:58.920 --> 0:33:01.160
<v Speaker 2>what you do. Love your show. I love you more, Polly.

0:33:01.280 --> 0:33:03.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember this at all. I'm glad they enjoyed

0:33:03.160 --> 0:33:06.920
<v Speaker 2>it so much, the outdated coffee commercials where the husband

0:33:06.920 --> 0:33:09.160
<v Speaker 2>says to his wife, the girls at the office know

0:33:09.200 --> 0:33:11.600
<v Speaker 2>how to make coffee. But I don't remember our riffing

0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:14.920
<v Speaker 2>about it. I just I don't remember it. Oh, really, wow.

0:33:15.080 --> 0:33:17.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad we hidro one Easter. I'm glad we were funny.

0:33:18.200 --> 0:33:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh it was hilarious. I cherished the memory yesterday. Perhaps

0:33:24.800 --> 0:33:28.120
<v Speaker 2>you remember this. Yesterday we were talking about the turnaround

0:33:28.160 --> 0:33:30.880
<v Speaker 2>in education among several Southern states and how blue states

0:33:30.880 --> 0:33:34.120
<v Speaker 2>are ignoring it because it's politically incorrect to recognize Red.

0:33:34.000 --> 0:33:36.120
<v Speaker 1>States are doing anything right, and it goes up against

0:33:36.120 --> 0:33:37.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of teachers' unions.

0:33:37.120 --> 0:33:40.640
<v Speaker 2>If you missed it, for God's sake, seriously grab the

0:33:40.640 --> 0:33:44.200
<v Speaker 2>podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand from Thursday, August the twentieth.

0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:47.080
<v Speaker 2>I think it's ours two and three. We talked about

0:33:47.080 --> 0:33:49.840
<v Speaker 2>it to figure out it's well titled. But anyway, on

0:33:49.920 --> 0:33:52.600
<v Speaker 2>that topic, a California public school teacher says, I agree

0:33:52.600 --> 0:33:55.600
<v Speaker 2>with you regarding the state of state of schools, particularly

0:33:55.640 --> 0:33:58.480
<v Speaker 2>in California at the high school level, Goodheart's laws in

0:33:58.520 --> 0:34:02.240
<v Speaker 2>action graduates. Graduate rates no longer are just a measure,

0:34:02.440 --> 0:34:04.760
<v Speaker 2>They're the goal. So everything is done to move the

0:34:04.840 --> 0:34:09.320
<v Speaker 2>kids along, regardless of skill. One thing regarding California stats

0:34:09.320 --> 0:34:10.919
<v Speaker 2>good portion of the kids who can't read. Our kids

0:34:10.920 --> 0:34:12.800
<v Speaker 2>who have recently come to the US from other countries

0:34:12.800 --> 0:34:15.680
<v Speaker 2>and don't speak English and in many cases weren't educated

0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:18.560
<v Speaker 2>in their primary language either. These students are included in the

0:34:18.680 --> 0:34:21.880
<v Speaker 2>test results that get reported, but there are signs of

0:34:21.920 --> 0:34:24.840
<v Speaker 2>hope in the California district I work for teachers that

0:34:25.400 --> 0:34:28.080
<v Speaker 2>all levels are offered training on teaching and reading and

0:34:28.120 --> 0:34:29.080
<v Speaker 2>phonics is the core.

0:34:29.160 --> 0:34:30.280
<v Speaker 1>We've already seen gains.

0:34:30.360 --> 0:34:33.160
<v Speaker 2>That's good, you know, that's an interesting point and a

0:34:33.200 --> 0:34:36.799
<v Speaker 2>good one, but it's also damning, just from a different direction. Yeah,

0:34:36.800 --> 0:34:39.719
<v Speaker 2>I can't bring in people who don't speak English and

0:34:39.800 --> 0:34:42.680
<v Speaker 2>have no education into the class with my kid and

0:34:42.800 --> 0:34:47.560
<v Speaker 2>drag down the whole process for US taxpayers who want

0:34:47.560 --> 0:34:50.920
<v Speaker 2>our kids educated. Yeah, gaffy, if this means that much

0:34:51.000 --> 0:34:53.360
<v Speaker 2>to you that the unwashed masses can flood into the

0:34:53.400 --> 0:34:57.439
<v Speaker 2>country without documentation, start ESL schools all right, fund them

0:34:57.520 --> 0:34:59.680
<v Speaker 2>by the government. Course it'll turn out to be a

0:34:59.680 --> 0:35:01.600
<v Speaker 2>scam too and get unionized in the rest of it.

0:35:01.719 --> 0:35:03.879
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, don't drag down the English speaking kids.

0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:08.920
<v Speaker 2>It's ridiculous. Wow, that's interesting. I was talking to some

0:35:08.960 --> 0:35:10.960
<v Speaker 2>of the other day that grew up in a California

0:35:10.960 --> 0:35:14.080
<v Speaker 2>public school and there was a big wave of immigrants

0:35:14.120 --> 0:35:16.400
<v Speaker 2>came in that didn't speak English, and how every class

0:35:16.520 --> 0:35:19.440
<v Speaker 2>was just undoable at that time. This would have been

0:35:19.480 --> 0:35:22.040
<v Speaker 2>in the eighties, I guess. Yeah, the mayor of Sacramento

0:35:22.120 --> 0:35:24.040
<v Speaker 2>tried to run us out of our careers for saying

0:35:24.080 --> 0:35:26.160
<v Speaker 2>that out loud. We got a lot more in the way.

0:35:26.160 --> 0:35:28.000
<v Speaker 2>If you missed a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and
