Thanks. An 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:28.280 arsonist is causing all these fires. 0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:33.520 Among other celebrities, the police and fire department are trying 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:38.440 to combat to their rumors or accusations. Henry Winkler, an 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.199 actor better known for more recent shows than what he 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:44.800 started in the seventies. I guess yes on Netflix and whatnot, 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.839 but Henry Winkler. The Fawns tweeted out yesterday there's an 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:50.159 arsenist here in La. 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:56.200 May you be beaten? Unrecognizable? Wow, he fawns, We're with you. 0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:00.520 Yeah, cool thumbs up. Singer Chris Brown, who olive has 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:02.840 beaten people. I don't know if I'm recognizable or not. 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:03.600 Girlfriends or whatever? 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:05.959 Letting girlfriend yeah. 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:08.479 Took to his Instagram stories on Thursday. Or someone starting 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:12.039 these fires? S don't add up. Some Dancing with the 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.000 Stars celebrity I've never heard of said there are five 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.520 men going around ski masks starting the fires. Keep an 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:21.760 eye out in all caps anyway, other than a homeless 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:25.280 guy that was arrested with a lighter for the Hollywood 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:29.720 area fire, which they got under control. I believe there 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.640 haven't been arsonists nailed down for the two biggest fires. 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:39.560 I have always wondered why Al Kaita or Isis, whoever 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:46.880 didn't take this tact with a terrorist activity over the years. 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:52.120 Interesting question. I don't know. They haven't as far as 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:52.640 I can tell. 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.520 Yeah, And I'm not in the business of giving ideas. 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.000 I just assume that there there's a reason why they haven't. 0:01:58.000 --> 0:01:59.720 That they're smart enough. They put a lot of thought 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:01.480 on this, but kind it seems like if you had 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.000 a dozen guys in the country and you picked a 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:09.400 particular day and did a little research California, Arizona, where 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:11.680 you know wherever fires you can get completely out of control, 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:13.080 you can do a hell of a lot of damage. 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:18.800 Sure, yeah, yeah, chilling stuff, so ah, A little closer 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.040 to home and manageable, I think is the question of 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:26.280 who is in what to office And absolutely thought provoking 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:31.000 think piece on why virtually every blue city in America 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:35.480 has gone completely sideways. And it's it's more than just 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.400 kind of the obvious ABC one two three stuff. It's 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.760 kind of a philosophical view of their jobs that I 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.120 think you'll enjoy. Got a lot of stuff to squeeze 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.120 in final hour of the week, But first, let's take 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:47.520 a fun look back at the week that was. 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:49.200 It's cow clips of the week, and. 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:50.680 I know a lot of there's a lot of freak 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:56.240 out the. 0:02:56.360 --> 0:03:01.720 Whips the week. The country is on a inside. They 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:05.640 discovered a steel galvanized pipe with two end caps surrounded 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:07.399 by two dozen rolls of nails. 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:09.959 This is not a terrorist event. 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:14.040 We also need to be stronger together by overcoming an 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.320 addiction to divisiveness and negativity. 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:21.000 The palicates fire, burning homes and forcing thousands to run 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.560 for their lives. The were to describe what we're seeing 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:28.680 is just apocalyptic. An emergency personnel had to take a 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.280 bulldozer to just bulldoze them out of the way. They've 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.800 put up the hoses. The water ran dry. 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.160 The local folks are trying to figure that out. 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.040 There were no reductions that were made that would have 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.400 impacted the situation. 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:52.400 That we were dealing with people, And one. 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.760 Of the best ways to demonstrate that there are regular 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:56.320 folks is to take them by that home. 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.000 First of all, it looks like they might have built 0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:58.600 it themselves. 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.640 Second of all, my grandfather was likely to show up 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.560 at the door in some seventies, short shorts and crops. 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.840 Character. Character, character. 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.920 What were you talking to Barack Obama about him? It 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:16.000 did look very friendly. 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:20.000 I must say it's one of the most awkward moments 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.680 in American politics. Donald J. 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:26.120 Trump of the state of Florida has received three hundred 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.280 and twelve votes. Kamala D. 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:32.279 Harris, We're going to get back. 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:32.839 To our roots. 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.159 We're eliminating the third party fact checking system. 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:38.240 I'm a little concerned. 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.480 I mean, this is like Chipotle announcing that it's ending 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:41.360 health inspections. 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:42.080 You know what I'm saying. 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.520 We need Greenland for national security purposes. 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:47.920 How we were. 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.720 Talking to him yesterday, so he says, hello to everyone 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:51.279 in Greenland. 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.520 We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:59.160 of Mexico to the Gulf of America. 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.200 Biden meanwhile says he thinks he could have beaten Donald Trump. 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:05.880 I think it's nuts to think that he would have 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:09.200 won that election. I don't wore world leaders than any 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.599 one of you ever met. In your home, goddamn wife, 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:16.880 I intend to resign as party leader, as Prime minister, 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.839 and you know, we really need to pace ourselves. 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.839 If we're going to freak out over every last tweet, we. 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.880 Will fight hard, fight hard for the freedom to vote. 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:33.560 Why he does a nerve bro? Who shot who? 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:40.440 Doesn't shut me? Everybody? Everybody got. 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.440 That it won't be the clip of the year. But 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:47.760 who shot who? 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.760 That whole exchange, somebody got shot, very very nonplussed about 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:58.600 the whole situation. Yeah, for some reason this popped into 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:00.320 my head during clips week. There's a bunch of stuff 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:02.320 there earlier in the week, like that was this week, 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.400 that wasn't six months ago, the terrorist attack and all 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.120 that sort of stuff. Jeez, the way we turn the 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.039 page on stories. You know, the fire is such a 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.160 big story and wiped out everything else. And I want 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.119 to talk about climate change in a second, but first 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:22.680 on this. We were watching and laughing at an ai 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:26.800 fake video of Kamala and Jill fighting each other in 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:28.680 the pew at the Carter funeral. 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:29.640 It's not real. 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.160 But the real part where Joe and doctor Jill come 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.000 in and sit down next to Kamala. Man that is chilly. 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.360 Kamala doesn't even look at her. She doesn't look at them. 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.000 I mean, you're sitting right next to people that are 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.520 supposed to be your close co workers and you don't 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:51.000 even look at them. Kamala handled handing the presidency over 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.520 to Donald Trump and announcing the votes and everything like 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:58.080 that better than she handled easier than she handled having 0:06:58.080 --> 0:06:59.839 to sit next to Joe Biden and his wife. 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.719 Yeah. I think just like Biden as a deep and 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:08.360 abiding hatred for Obama. Kamala can't stand old man Biden. 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:09.160 It's it's interesting. 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:14.000 She was able to stuff down her disappointment, resentment, everything 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:17.400 about losing to Donald Trump the election much easier than 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.840 she was able to stuff it down sitting next to 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.160 Joe and his wife. And he's got to be his 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.480 wife because she probably thinks the same thing. I think 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:28.160 his brain don't work. You're the evil bee that kept 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.960 him running. You're the one that caused all this. I 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.040 hate you, I hate you, I hate you. That's what 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:33.760 she was thinking. 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.080 Well, and to recap a couple of discussions we've had 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:41.080 in recent days, her ego is kept intact in spite 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.400 of the fact that she got absolutely waxed by Donald 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.480 Trump by the fact that well Biden got out too 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:48.720 late and he screwed her and the campaign was short. 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:52.040 So that's her excuse for herself, but her excuse was 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.520 sitting next to her Biden and his. 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.600 Evil, evil wife, So yeah, she can't. She despises them. 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.080 Can't get away from the climate change discussion on any 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.480 of the mainstream news around the fire or any other 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.160 any other anything that happens, really pretty much, anything that 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.280 happens somehow, climate change plays a role. Two things on 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.680 that one. And I'm not a climate denier or proponent, 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.239 as I've said many times on this show. For whatever reason, 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.160 it's a topic I've decided not to look into. 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:19.400 I just don't. 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.840 There are topics I look into to great depth, not 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.440 this one. But it did come across this and this 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:30.640 is accurate reporting. It's from Los Angeles Airport's own data. 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.160 It's not unusual for Los Angeles to be bone dry 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.319 in December into January. Since nineteen forty four, since I've 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:39.679 been keeping records in the thirty days prior to January ninth, 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.319 thirteen years have received between none and a tenth of 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:44.920 an inch of rain, including this year. 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:46.040 But it happened in. 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.440 Fifty four, sixty one, sixty four, sixty seven. Well, I 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.960 had quite a run there in the mid sixties where 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:52.480 you would have been able to make some sort of 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.960 argument about climate change or something lots of years. So 0:08:56.200 --> 0:09:00.000 there's always the data that gets very confusing on the 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.320 are we having more hurricanes or not? Or is it 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:06.120 dryer or not or whatever. But even without that, even 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.800 if you buy into the whole climate man made change 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:12.960 everything like that, there's no turning it around quickly, not 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:16.400 a chance. So why waste any time in the midst 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.920 of a crisis discussing that. It seems like such an 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:21.360 easy out for the conversation. 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:23.640 Well, right, that's exactly what it is. 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:27.800 That's the answer of why on purpose excuse on MSNBC 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.120 or CNN or wherever to once they get to the 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.760 climate change thing, then it's the evil Republicans or Trump 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.960 or whoever who's stopping things. There is nothing. If Donald 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:40.839 Trump went full al Gore today, you couldn't affect I'm 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:44.640 assuming the worldwide temperature by a tenth of a degree 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:49.520 over the next decade. Let alone fix what's gonna happen 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.199 this summer fire wise, So why. 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:53.400 Even talk about it? 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:58.560 You know, it's the Simpsons were not now a show 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.280 of the left. Ought to have a scene where, you know, 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.560 Marge comes home and Homer's left the bathtub running, and 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:05.600 the house is flooded and ruined, and the dog hasn't 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.959 been fed for a week, and Bart hasn't gone to 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.200 school or whatever. When she asks him why, he says, 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:14.720 I don't know climate change because that is the all purpose, 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:18.160 all encompanying excuse for bad policy. 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:20.760 Has that happened because of climate change? 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:25.760 And so the soft headed voters are distracted from mismanagement 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.640 and bad government. And oh, right, climate change, I've heard 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:29.120 about that. 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.240 Yeah, I don't know. It's not like a lot of 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.559 policy decisions where you decide you're against the war, we 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.200 could pull the troops out tomorrow or something, you could 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.640 really make a radical change. There's no radical changes to 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.400 be made on the whole climate thing, even if you 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:43.959 believe them right. 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.240 Even if you had superpowers, it would take ages to 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.280 make a real difference, and we don't have superpowers in 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:50.160 India and China. 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.920 End of discussion. Yeah, it's so weak. 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:57.880 Anytime a politician cites climate change because of a crisis, 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:02.439 you can't look at that new. You know, some people 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.680 look at it positively. Oh, I'm glad he's standing up 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:06.960 for climate change. Well, you're an idiot and shouldn't vote, 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.240 but don't even look at it neutrally. 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:10.440 Say oh, I know this one. 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.199 This is their dodge, and then think about the things 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:19.520 that they're dodging, because that's almost always the way it's used. Yeah, 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.200 you've been talking about climate change for like fifteen years now, 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.880 so why didn't you do something about the xyz we're 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:26.360 talking about? 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:27.680 Well, climate change. 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.680 It's easy to be susceptible to these arguments because I 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:35.280 even have fallen for the Yeah, it does seem colder, wetter, dryer, windier, 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.600 whatever than it used to. But then I'll see some 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.120 stats laid out like the ones we just talked about 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:44.120 and thought, okay, you have ears where this is worse. 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:44.680 That's better. 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:47.280 Sometimes it's a couple of years row then it goes 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:47.920 back to normal. 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:49.360 This way it is. 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:57.880 Yeah, yeah, indeed, Eh, it's frustrating, is it? 0:11:59.360 --> 0:11:59.560 Well? 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:03.640 Yeah, just thinking about the electorate and our leaders and 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:05.960 the way it's supposed to work and how it doesn't 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:06.840 if you're. 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.000 I just saw the least sympathetic couple from the fire 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.040 thing that I've seen yet. I thought, CNN, you're not 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:16.839 doing a good job here, because just because you're rich, 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:18.679 you don't deserve to have your home burnt down, or 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.360 doesn't mean it's not awful. It's a lot less awful 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.840 for you than the paycheck to paycheck people. 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:24.480 No doubt. 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.720 You can go to a hotel and it's a headache 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.160 as opposed to a disaster. I mean, there's just no 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.400 doubt the more money have it. But anyway, they're interviewing 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:36.520 this couple in there. One of those Mercedes SUVs that 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.000 are designed to climb mountains, but people only drive them 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:39.800 to yoga. 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:41.200 U oh, one of those that. 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.840 Are crazy, like a quarter of a million dollar car. 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:47.200 She got a couple sitting in there. They're both like sixty. 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.040 He's got ridiculously long blonde hair for a sixty year 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.720 old rich guy wearing a puffy vest in his Mercedes. 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.240 And she's got the big giant lips and her skin's 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.760 way too tight. And I thought, this is not the 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:02.760 right couple to have on CNN to get your crowd 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:04.960 to feel all sympathetic and warm and fuzzy about it. 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:06.840 Just it ain't. It ain't even working for me. 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:07.839 I don't. 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:09.920 I don't know that that's what CNN ought to be 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:13.160 doing anyway, But no, I see your point. 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.720 Man, we got a lot more on the way. Our 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:19.040 text line is four one five two nine five KFTC. 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:26.120 According to the odds makers, closest game of the NFL 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:30.400 playoffs this weekend the Monday night game Vikings Rams in 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.880 Arizona because they can't play a game in Los Angeles. 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:36.880 The Vikings are just two and a half point favorites. 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:38.680 All the other ones are a little whiter than that. 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:43.080 Uh yeah, yeah, there's some great games too. I'm a 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:48.400 newly minted Detroit Lions fan teams. Yeah, I got a 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:50.880 couple of friends who are native Detroiters who are just 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.760 died in the wool, I mean, have suffered for years. 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:58.200 So anyway, enjoy the feats ball over the weekend. Folks, 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:03.760 thought we'd lend a hand here to a kindred spirit trying. 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:04.760 To do a good thing. 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:09.680 This is cal Unicornia assembly Woman Kate Sanchez. 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:10.880 Kate take it away. 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:14.920 Hello, I'm assembly Woman Kate Sanchez. Women's sports have long 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:19.400 been a symbol of dedication, perseverance, and opportunity. As a 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:22.040 former high school athlete, I know this is a space 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:26.080 for young women can compete fairly, achieve their dreams, and 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:30.320 showcase their talents. But today that fairness is being stripped 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:35.119 away when biological men are allowed to compete in women's sports, 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.520 it creates an unfair playing field. Young women who have 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:43.400 spent years training, sacrificing, and earning their place to compete 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:46.200 at the highest level are now being forced to compete 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:52.000 against individuals with undeniable biological advantages. It's not just unfair, 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:56.840 it's disheartening and dangerous for girls. This is about more 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:57.560 than competition. 0:14:57.960 --> 0:14:59.360 It's about safety. 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.840 Whether in contact sports, locker rooms, or shared spaces, these 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:04.920 policies place. 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:06.160 Our daughters at risk. 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.480 We cannot ignore the physical and emotional toll this takes. 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:14.040 I will always advocate for fairness, opportunity, and protection of 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.640 women and girls in sports. It's time to restore integrity 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.600 to women's athletics and ensure that every young woman has 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.360 a fair and safe chance to compete. 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.840 I'm not sure why everything has to have a musical 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.800 background these days, but thank you AB twelve. I'm sorry 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.160 that was the old law that let boys play against 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.640 girls in sports, but she's trying to pass a law 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:37.960 that changes that, so. 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:45.040 I would think there's overwhelming support for that, even in Cally, Unicornia. Yeah, 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.600 I think believe it's easily a majority position. 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:50.600 Yeah. Yeah. 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:54.960 The law has existed in California since twenty thirteen, signed 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:59.800 into law by Governor Jerry Brown. Letting people be permitted 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:03.520 to participated and participate in sex segregated school programs and 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:08.920 activities consistent with their gender identity. Letting boys play against 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:12.200 girls and beat the hell out of them. It's just unbelievable, 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:14.760 And they quote a couple of high school coaches. California 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:17.480 Globe has some great coverage of the story talking about 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.080 this law. Did was suddenly have men saying they're transgender 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.360 identifying as women to compete on their teams. We've had 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.360 a lot of wrestling teams suddenly have huge wrestlers who 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.240 now identify as women dominating women's wrestling. Wow. 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.800 And swimming and other physical sports. 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:32.440 Wow. 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:33.720 Yeah. 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:38.040 My favorite one to hate was that like forty year 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:42.600 old giant dude who played junior college basketball in the 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:47.600 Bay Area for a community college team, just backing over 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.720 poor little girls who are trying to play college basketball. 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.320 He still had eligibility because he can go to college, 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.000 so he did. Juco is a forty year old dude 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:57.960 and plays women's juco basketball. 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:01.320 If you're in favor of that a mental illness and 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.480 should get it treated. And I say that with compassion 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.679 and love, but get it treated. Why do all the 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.320 lefty cities go sideways? Great explanation coming up. 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:14.000 Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.880 Well, guys, has some big news from Washington. 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:18.440 Tomorrow. 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:21.479 The Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether the federal 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:26.560 government can ban TikTok. I expect you to be the 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.679 first time a Supreme Court justice says the word skibbity toilet. 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:33.320 Should be an interesting case. 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.200 The justices will start scrolling through evidence, then two hours 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:37.600 later look up like what was he doing? 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:38.320 Yet? 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:42.720 It'll be interesting to follow this whole TikTok thing. I 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.080 have no idea it's going to turn out. 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:47.720 Yeah, really interesting set of legal questions there that we 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:51.680 won't get into now. But nobody wants to ban TikTok, 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:53.960 by the way. They just want to not let the 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:57.679 Chinese Communist Party run it. And there are laws against 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:02.120 hostile foreign powers running things that happen in the United States. 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.120 So well, you know, we'll consider that as it goes. 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:09.680 Can't wait to hear the arguments. Ah, so this is terrific. 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.560 I'm going to quote some of a piece by Noah Rothman, 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.600 who writes for the National Review and is an incredibly 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:16.160 smart guy. 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:20.520 He has a vocabulary vocabulary. 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:23.479 That makes mine look like an eight year old one 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:25.720 of those guys who apparently swallowed a dictionary as a 0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:30.720 small child, and knows all the words. He's talking about 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:33.960 why cities are so dysfunctional, and he quotes a nineteen 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.119 ninety three lecture from a guy by the name of 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:39.199 Nat Glazier, who's actually talking about the nineteen sixties and 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.280 the dysfunction in American cities. And he says, New York, 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:44.880 by way of an example, stop trying to do well 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:47.800 the kinds of things a city can do, and started 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:49.720 trying to do the kinds of things. 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:50.680 A city cannot do. 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:55.000 The city subordinated, keeping its streets and bridges in repair, 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:58.040 building new facilities to accommodate the new needs in a 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:01.480 shifting population, picking up garbage, policing the public environment, that 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:03.840 sort of thing. It gave those up in favor of 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:07.080 grander objectives. But in the pursuit of these lofty goals, 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:09.360 cities stopped doing the things cities know how to do 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:12.040 and started trying to do things no one knows how 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:12.400 to do. 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:13.240 I'm quoting. 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:16.679 Among the things that can't do are redistributing income on 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.720 a large scale and solving the social and personal problems 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:22.480 of people who, for whatever reason, are engaged in self 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:26.959 to start the behavior. Yeah, and Rothman writes, even if 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.880 America's municipal officials did know how to end the scourge 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:33.560 of racism, eradicate poverty, and change the weather, that is 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:37.840 not within their job descriptions. And Glazer concluded his lecture 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:42.160 with the prophetic observation that cities can quickly restore elementary 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:45.120 governmental functionality if that's what the people. 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:49.639 Vote for, including obviously fighting fires which is hot. Still 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:52.639 pardon the expression this week, you know, on that one part, 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:57.560 I don't know if you get anywhere with the argument 0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:00.560 that the government shouldn't be doing these things because there's 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:02.320 just too many people that want the government to do 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:04.600 those things. I think maybe the better argument is the 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:09.320 first part of their unaccomplishable it's not something anyone could do, 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:12.800 whether you think it's in their job description or not. 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:15.840 Yeah, boy, either way, it's tough to convince people. Maybe 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:18.919 you can convince them, No, city government can't cure all 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:21.160 human suffering. Leave that to the Feds. 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:22.080 Oh god. 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:25.359 But anyway, Glazer obviously and Noah hint that you know, 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:29.880 Rudy Giuliani came along and did precisely what he's talking about. Said, yeah, 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:33.320 we don't have grand you know, ethereal goals. 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:35.040 We're going to get the garbage picked up. 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:37.960 And they point out only when voters no longer accept 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:41.040 excuses from their government leaders does the public see proficiency 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:43.720 in municipal government. And we'll get to that broader theme 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:47.040 in a second, but there's more great writing. Democratic elected 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:49.439 officials at the highest levels of local, state, and federal 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:53.320 government excel when they are tasked only with waxing grand 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:57.640
