WEBVTT - He Had A Dwarf Hype Man 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.200 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.280 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:17.280 Arm Strong and Jettie and now he Armstrong and Jetty. 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.000 The President getting ready to announce tariffs on at least, 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:28.720 as he puts it, basically every country on Earth, every 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.840 country that has import duties on US goods that starts Wednesday. 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:32.680 Then on Thursday. 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:35.880 In addition to the existing tariffs on aluminium steel, President 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:38.879 Trump will impose a whopping twenty five percent tariff on 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:42.920 all foreign made cars and auto parts right. 0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:46.720 Which, as we mentioned, polls show people expect prices to 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:48.559 go up short term in about half the country things 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.320 they're going to stay up long term. But here's someone 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.319 on Trump's site explaining why this is a good long 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:53.800 term plan. 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.280 The President has a high threshold for pain because these 0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:58.360 tear people. 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.920 Well, but also for his own political pay. 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.360 I mean, he's taking a long term approach, which is 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:08.440 actually kind of refreshing in American politics now. Whether he's 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:11.160 right or wrong, but he's doing two things that are 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:15.040 really really unusual in Washington. He's taking a long term view, 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:16.959 and he's not listening to the critics. 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:20.160 And now here's Stephen Miller, who would get more traction 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:22.639 with more people if he didn't look like an evil villain. 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.360 Since he's portrayed as an evil villain by the Left, 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:27.880 he just happens to look like one from a movie. 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:33.160 President Trump is resetting the entire global market by saying, 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:36.280 number one, you can't steal our jobs. Number two, if 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:40.320 you want to get preferential treatment, you have to put 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:44.200 your factory inside the United States. You want to sell 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.600 it to Americans on a preferential basis. 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:47.440 Then you have to make it here. 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.840 And if you do, you'll get low taxes, low regulations, 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.320 and cheap energy. But if you sell it to us 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:55.960 from overseas, then yes, you will pay a tariff. 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.920 So the not even pushback, but question that a lot 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.440 one of us have, I think, is so, how is 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.520 so is General Motors going to build more plants in 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.000 the night? How long does it take to build a 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.680 car plant? They're going to build a plant in the 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:14.800 next three years, even though the next president might do 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:16.440 away with these, so you could keep. 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:17.720 Building them in Mexico or wherever. 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.840 Oh yeah, yeah, there's a reasonable likelihood of that. I mean, 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.440 it would be bad, but yeah, I was going to 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.720 bring up the fact that the Trump administration has done 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.640 fabulous things so far that have been cruelly under reported 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:34.080 at deregulation, reducing the regulatory weight on American businesses and 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.120 make it easier to build factories and stuff like that. 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:37.720 But it's still enormous undertaking. 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.960 I mean, it takes years, months and many months, if 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.080 not several years of planning before you break ground. 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.920 Well, and but you'd also have the reality of So 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.960 I'm General Motors and I said, Okay, this is the 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:52.239 new world we live in. We're going to build a 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.360 plant in Indiana, and we're going to make our our 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.560 Chevy trucks one hundred percent here to avoid the tariffs. 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.000 And you're editor, say, Ford. 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:08.079 Sticks it out somehow, and then next administration, when the 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.920 tariffs go away, your competitor can make the truck so 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:13.359 much cheaper right wherever they're making them. 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:15.440 Yeah, build their profit. 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:19.560 And loss projections on both plans, and figure out, all right, 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:20.919 how do we lose the least money. 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:22.160 Ride it out. 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.440 We're gonna get kicked in the butt for the next 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.760 three and a half years, We're gonna pay tariffs, gonna 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.400 hurt our sales. But if we conform, and then the 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.280 laws change again, we would lose you know, ginormous amounts 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.040 of money and have to rebuild our plant in Mexico 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:36.600 or whatever. 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:37.480 Yeah. 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.880 Long, And that's the interesting thing about Trump, and it 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.800 bothers me, although I'm waiting to see how this all 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.800 shakes out, because often, you know, Trump throws so many 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.760 headfakes out there you don't know where he's actually going, 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:55.320 which is like completely unprecedented because presidents don't. 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:55.560 Want to do that. 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.160 They don't want to spook the markets, they don't want 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.520 to freak out big American businesses. And so it's wild 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:05.120 that he's this cavalier about causing you know, shock in 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:10.760 horror and or pearl clutching. If it just ends up 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:14.400 with being a reordering of the post WW two trade 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.880 norms where of course we did charge us big tariffs 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.720 because we're in economic colossus. We won't charge you because 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:23.520 you got to get back on your feet. We understand 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.080 that completely. If that's going to go away through this, 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:27.799 great it's fabulous. 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.000 So here is a question rather than a statement. 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.360 I have said this before, but I've never read this anywhere, 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.200 and I never hear anybody bring this up. So One 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.560 of the things you regularly hear people say is, well, 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.159 what's an American car company even mean anymore? Because I 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.800 bought a Toyota truck that's built in Indiana. But and 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.480 this is my question, Now, maybe there's something I'm missing here. 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.560 If Ford gets in trouble, GM gets in trouble, Chrysler 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.679 gets in trouble, it becomes a national crisis. The federal 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.440 government steps in bails them out because we can't have 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:04.400 these giant companies fail. That's never happened with Toyota or Volkswagen, 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.360 these foreign companies. So obviously we're not It's not our 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.719 job to make sure Toyota do is okay, but it 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.320 is our job as a nation to make sure. 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:12.440 GM stays in business. 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:16.800 So then what sense is a Toyota made Indiana good 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:17.479 for America? 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:19.760 I don't get that. 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.440 If I mean, the jobs at that plant are nice, 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.560 but it's still a foreign company. 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:28.240 Yeah, they pay all. 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.960 Sorts of taxes, and you know, it generates a tremendous 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.760 amount of revenue for the US. But yeah, the profits 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.080 end up in a foreign bank unless they keep it 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:37.039 in a US bank. 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:38.320 So what does that even mean? 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.400 Well, we obviously I've never heard anybody care if Toyota 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.640 is struggling right in the United States, But we do 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:45.320 care if GM is struggling. 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:46.039 Right you know. 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.560 Oh boy, that's a complicated question and I'm not really 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:49.560 qualified to answer it. 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.040 It has to do it. I just want to make 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:52.800 this email or text. 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:56.680 Why it seems to me to put a lie to 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.240 the what's what's an American car? 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.520 Anyway? This Toyota's made Indiana? Okay? 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.640 Well, like I just said, nobody cares if Toyota does 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:07.880 well or not as a company right right, and their 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.679 stock is listed I don't know where the stock is listed. 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:11.239 For instance. 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.080 I'm just thinking if I mean, if you have thousands 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.040 and thousands of employees and you're paying zillions of dollars 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.039 in property tax, you probably have incentives, but uh, property 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:24.520 tax and sales tax, income taxes, payroll taxes, sales taxes 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:26.520 at the point of sale, you know, just all of 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:33.000 that stuff, and then your profits end up in a 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:39.720 Japanese added Japanese headquarters, except you're almost certainly investing them 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:44.040 in the American stock market. But if you remember, like 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.599 during the Obama administration, we had to bail out GM 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.840 to the tune of tens or hundreds of billions of dollars. 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:51.680 It was a big deal, and it was like a 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.279 you know, whipped up national mood that we've got to 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.080 have this, We've got to have them American car companies succeed. 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.279 How does that fit in with the whole thing. Yeah, 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:00.840 I don't know. 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.160 Toyota, and so I've never understood it, and I never 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:05.080 hear anybody bring it up. 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.760 Yeah, let's let's seek out a guest who's who's really 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.400 good at that sort of thing. Oh, what was the 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:11.680 other thing I was going to bring up? Was kind 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:15.760 of related, popped out of my head. Well, I'll pop 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:19.520 back in eventually. I love that question. It's really interesting. 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:22.840 Oh. 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:24.640 I was going to bring up the US Steel thing, 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:29.440 which is was so silly because if US Steel was 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.760 named Jones Steel, nobody had given a crap. 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:38.080 I honestly believe this. Most people, like ninety percent of people, 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.600 when they hear US Steel, I think it's the United 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:45.440 States Steel industry. That's what they think they're hearing about. Really, yes, 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.280 as opposed to that's the name of the company. It 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.720 could be Bob Steele, like you just said, it's just 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:53.440 US Steel. Yeah, huh So they're willing to do anything 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:54.680 to protect us steel. 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.200 I think let me tip my cap very briefly to 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.400 how annoying Jake Tapper was in that clip we played 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.960 coming back. Donald Trump is willing to endure some pain 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:10.920 other people's pain, right, Jake, you're just your're That's not 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.080 fair because Trump is really laying it on the line 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:18.000 here for long term gain for the country, even if 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:22.160 you think he's wrong, but he's really He's definitely a 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.520 He's spending all his political capital on this because if 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.080 it doesn't work, he'll go down in history as a 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:29.280 ginormous failure. 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:30.000 Yeah. 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.400 And he's spending the capital with the Senate and the 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:33.760 House and the voter. 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.680 And he didn't have to because he's riding high on 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:38.880 all those things he ran on. He could have just 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:40.880 stuck that out and tried to ride out four years 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:42.480 and have been fine historically. 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.160 So I do not think this is a safe play 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:45.560 at all. 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:52.320 Yeah, yeah, I would agree. Coming up in moments, the 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:56.040 battle is far from over. Woke watch our new feature 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.280 walk Isn't Dead, and you get, oh no, Jack, you 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.360 gotta stay and watch. He's the name who watch and 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.600 you got everything turns to that's a good point. 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:07.800 You gotta shout it like that too. 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:14.720 Tweeted that out the other day, So stay with us. 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:19.000 Say we haven't touched on the whole arrushed in illegals 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:23.040 and booting them out story that continues to Royal DC 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:30.640 maybe a little later. But first, welcome to woke watch. 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.600 The battle is far from over all. Right that, let 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:37.320 me try that again. Welcome to woke watch. The battle 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:38.400 is just begun. 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:43.559 Everything woke turns to ship. You know what woke means. 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:44.560 It means you're a loser. 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:50.640 Now it means you're a postmodernist Neil Marxist. Actually, a 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.400 couple of stories worth bringing to your attention. There are 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:58.160 two California bills to protect women's sports that are gonna 0:09:58.200 --> 0:09:59.160 go before. 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:02.040 A committee here tomorrow. 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.840 And we have sources within the Capitol who are going 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:09.439 to bring us the reality of what happens. The supermajority 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.920 in cal Unicornia is unlikely to support the bills, despite 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:18.120 Governor Newsom's recent comments tempe Charlie Kirk is tepit his 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.280 hell comments. The chair of the hearing is also the 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.640 head of the LGBTQ plus minus over the power of 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:25.520 seven caucus. 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:27.880 So yeah, it's gonna go nowhere. 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:31.200 Dudes will still beat the hell out of girls on 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:32.960 the sports fields in California. 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:33.760 How is this? 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:40.000 I don't understand the politics of this. Its ideological insanity. 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:44.800 It's blended them to everything and perhaps even worse. Although 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:50.280 this already exists in California, Colorado is ramming through take 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.679 your kids away and force your speech bill today. This 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:59.600 bill will define misgendering as child abuse, wow, and coercive 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.640 ConTroll of a child, bullying parents. 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.960 My kid, My eight year old kid comes to me 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.520 and says, you got to call me her and if 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.040 I don't, Yes, it's the same as if I beat. 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:11.000 Her, it's child abuse. 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:16.840 Yes, So you either transition your child or you risk 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.760 losing them. It will protect any parent who brings a 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:25.480 child to Colorado for mutilation, negating all other state laws 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.920 and court orders, just like cal Unicornia did becoming a 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:33.760 transgender cruel experiment sanctuary stake. God help you if you 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.600 have a spouse or an ex husband or wife who 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:38.720 decides to do that. 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.560 Who's fallen for the walk mind virus. 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.720 Yeah, it'll force all schools to comply with transitioning children, 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:49.040 even explicitly attacking charter schools. And eliminating any gender dress code. 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:54.000 It defines misgendering and dead naming. If you call your 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:58.640 son Jim Jim after he's announced yesterday he's Jenny, it 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:03.880 will be his discrimination for all Colorado businesses, which is 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:08.000 essentially all citizens rights, erin for parental rights. This is 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.880 the most radical bill I've ever seen anywhere, presented by 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:16.280 the folks and sponsored by an appointed sex change extremist. 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:18.920 That's a man. What a tough situation. 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:26.440 I've got a good friend who's he and his wife 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:31.320 their former daughter is now a dude, and they have 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:38.320 gotten on board with it because he is in their 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.120 mid twenties and you know, you want to have a 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.640 relationship and you love them and blah blah blah, and what. 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:45.079 Do you do? Yeah, I understand. 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.280 Representative Jarvis Caldwell of Colorado said, this bill just got 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:53.680 introduced late Friday evening. This is yesterday, said this, and 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:57.520 we found out today it's scheduled for Judiciary Committee tomorrow, 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.960 which is today. And it's radical. No time to a have, 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.280 no time to coordinate testimony, no time to talk with 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.400 stakeholders or constituents. And this is from the side of 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:10.920 the aisle. That's constantly howling about democracy. What a kraka crap. 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:17.360 Moving along, the organization overseeing museums celebrating English playwright William 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:22.479 Shakespeare's life is reportedly willing working to decolonize his legacy 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:24.920 in the name of battling white supremacy. 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.440 Wow, this is where Western civilization really breaks down. You 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.040 take maybe the greatest writer in the history of writing, 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:32.559 and you're going to. 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:34.480 Ruin it. 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.000 For lack of a better word, You're you're gonna take 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:38.400 it out of Western civilization. 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:39.000 That's right. 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.040 You're going to crush it and make it so infamous 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:43.800 nobody teaches it anymore because. 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.680 He was white. That's right. More or less already has. 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:50.199 The Telegraph reported that the Shakespeare's Birthplace Trust, a British nonprofit, 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.800 is working toward quote unquote decolonizing its collection of Shakespeare 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:57.440 related artifacts to create a more inclusive museum experience. 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:01.079 It's been going on for years. 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.720 Harold Bloom is that the name of the Yale professor 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:07.240 who's the biggest Shakespeare expert in America written all these books. 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.360 I've read several of them, and he said years ago, 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:10.840 because I was watching an old Charlie Rose. 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:12.760 I think this was in the late nineties, he. 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.520 Said, nobody's teaching Shakespeare anywhere in the United States now, 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:20.640 where it's not about how unrepresented women are in this play, 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.920 or you know, slavery is blah blah blah. Nobody's just 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:25.320 flat out teaching it anymore. 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:25.800 So. 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:30.400 Now Shakespeare, despite being born in fifteen sixty four and 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:32.720 largely writing plays that took place in Western Europe, is 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:37.000 being scrutinized for his alleged impact on colonialism. The process 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:41.840 of decolonializing Shakespeare's work reportedly includes researching quote, the continued 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.840 impact of colonialism on world history and the ways in 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:48.240 which quote Shakespeare's work has played a part in this. 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:52.400 This is a this is a successful civilization actually destroying itself. 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.360 Yeah, yeah, that is horrifying. 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.520 Concerns have been raised that celebration of Shakespeare enables white 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.960 supremacy right. The Trust also warned that some items in 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.760 the collections and archives relating to the iconic sixteenth century 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:08.200 playwright may contain quote, language or depictions that are racist, sexist, homophobic, 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.200 or otherwise harmful. 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.040 You could add my high school son to the list 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.440 of people who would be perfectly fine with Shakespeare going away, 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:17.840 as he's in the middle of his Romeo and Juliet 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:21.360 course in English and hating it. It's it takes a 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.960 little bit of work, yes, And then I wanted to 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.480 get to this. This is such a classic example of 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.440 how the permanent bureaucracy, as I call it, or maybe 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:32.480 you call it the deep state, I think it's two 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:34.520 spy novelly sounding. 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:40.880 Perverts governance. This is a story from Georgia. The state's 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:45.000 Department of Community Health asked in twenty fifteen to determine 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.600 which insurance providers would administer medicaid to millions of people 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:53.040 across the state. So it's a multi billion dollar contract 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:58.560 for who's gonna administer dental coverage, and senior staffers hijack 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.880 the process to in sort a question related to trans 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:08.400 transgender children, according to internal documents, so it was a 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.640 questionnaire of these companies, how do you handle this, how 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.920 do you handle that? What's your priority? Here, here's a 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.880 case study for you, how would you handle that? And again, 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:20.200 these senior staffers inserted, and more or less the last minute, 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.400 a question about a fourteen year old transgender, white female 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:25.880 blah blah blah, if she came in to get a 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:31.840 cavity filled how would you handle it? And they also 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:37.480 apportioned a disproportionate number of points to the point system 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:41.320 on how you answered that question. So unless you as 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.720 a company essentially wrote well, because that's a perfectly legitimate 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:48.680 thing and transgenderism Israel and the dentist would refer her 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:52.640 him to immediately to a gender counseling office, which would 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:57.520 offer them hormones and transition surgery if desired. That's what 0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:59.840 we would do the minute we met them. If you 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.560 didn't answer like that, you were out of a multi 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:07.520 billion dollar bid, that's DEI, that's Georgia. In spite of 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:12.159 Brian Camp, Brian Kemp being anti all that stuff his 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:13.200 bureaucracy did. 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:14.480 It's rough. Yep. 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:18.000 Oh, we haven't gotten to Kid Rock in the Oval 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:21.119 office yesterday and what that was all about. It's an 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:24.560 interesting topic actually, and the fact that Kid Rock broke 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.640 her to deal between Trump and Bill Maher. 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.080 So Trump is going to go talk to Bill Maher 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.160 and do an interview. Oh wow, because Kid Rock's friends 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:34.800 with both of them and put that together. 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:36.360 And we ought to talk about the ticket broker thing. 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:39.800 Yeah, absolutely, Trump and Kid Rock announced because it's really interesting. 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:44.360 So an additional perspective on a question we've asked, many, 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:48.320 many times, what's it going to take for the Blue 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:51.159 States of America the voters to finally understand that the 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.080 terrible policies that have been enacted and ruined their states 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.880 are at fault for their states being ruined and make 0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:00.639 a change politically speaking, to discuss. We've invited John phillips On. 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:04.560 John is a California native. He's a longtime radio personality 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.360 on the mighty seven to ninety KABC in Los Angeles, 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:11.679 our belived affiliate, and starting today on a ten KSFO 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.320 in the San Francisco Bay Area, columnists for the Orange 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:15.120 County Register. 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:18.480 Among other things, John always a pleasure. How are you? 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:21.720 I'm great? And by the way, I can't wait to 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:23.720 hear the Kid Rock segment because I don't know if 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:26.239 you've seen how he's been dressing lately. Yeah, but it 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.280 looks like Rod rot on the fourth of July. 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.119 Yeah, that's that's quite the outfit to wear to the 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:34.560 Oval office. He makes Don King look reserved. Yeah, yeah, 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:39.800 really amazing. So John, to the operative question here, why 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.000 have and you're, you know, most expert in the ways 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:46.879 of California, But why have the voters of California not 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.080 risen up in a recognizable way yet and said, hey, 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:51.680 are states gone to hell? 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:53.040 We got to change course. 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:56.800 Well, as an angel fan, I feel like i have 0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:59.680 an authority on this subject because I'm familiar with this 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:04.920 and disappointment. But what's going on right now in California 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.320 and in many of the blue states with one party 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:10.200 rule is that it is possible to push too far. 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:14.000 And that's exactly what the Democrats have been doing here 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:17.879 in California. And it doesn't matter what subject you talk about, 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:22.639 whether it's crime or homelessness, or the budget or insurance 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:26.560 fill in the blank. They have dropped the ball and 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:29.440 they have turned the Golden State, the most beautiful state 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:33.160 in the Union, into a place that fundamentally doesn't work. 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:36.439 And what you've seen in the last election is you 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:42.720 saw the seeds of discontent being planted. California moved dramatically 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:45.440 to the right from where they were. In the last 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:51.120 presidential election, Californians voted for Proposition thirty six, which would 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:54.280 then start to crack down on criminals and repeal Prop 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:56.840 forty seven, which was a proposition that was a very 0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:59.919 soft on crime initiative. And you saw many of the 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:05.320 sorosdas like George Gascon and Pamela Price get booted from office. 0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:08.240 So there is hope, and there is light at the 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:10.439 end of the tunnel. And for the first time, that 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:12.240 light at the end of the tunnel is not a train. 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:13.240 Kevin right at us. 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:16.639 Well, we've been on in San Francisco for twenty two years. 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.119 And the fact that they now have decided, you know, 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:21.159 that's enough and you choose a mayor who's going to 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.760 do something about the street people. I mean, that's a 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:24.800 step in the right direction. 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:29.000 Sure, And it's not just San Francisco. Look across the 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:32.840 Bay in Oakland where the DA Pamela Price was booted 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:35.920 out of office by voters, and so was the mayor 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:39.280 Shang Tao, who is also right now being investigated by 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:43.080 the FBI and looking at potentially north of ninety years 0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:46.159 in prison. If they can get with the program. In 0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:49.320 Oakland and San Francisco, the state is salvagable. 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:52.359 At least the mayor had an excuse for being soft 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:54.800 on crime. She's a criminal. I meant it's a conflict 0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:58.440 of interest, you know, John, maybe the tangential question, because 0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:02.280 your examples are all great and they're absolutely accurate, but 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:07.280
