Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Ketty.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Katty and he.

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty your hometown Thanksgiving. Chicago is going to

5
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: have the coldest Thanksgiving since eighteen seventy two.

6
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 3: Sorry, Yes, saw snow on the on Michigan Avenue on

7
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:38,639
Speaker 3: the news last night.

8
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: Did anybody watch Thursday night football with the Browns and

9
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: the Steelers in the snow? Why is that so enjoyable

10
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: for men of a certain age. I don't know why,

11
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: or maybe you had to grow up in the Midwest

12
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: where it snows and it reminds you of munigates football

13
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: in the snow all the time. I don't know, but

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: there's something it's just super awesome and charming about that.

15
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: But that was cool. I agree.

16
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: Another development in the Trump hush money trial. It's going

17
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: to be delayed even longer for some reason. So once

18
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: again that sort of thing is going away, I guess.

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: And I had one more news thing I wanted to

20
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 1: throw And oh, North Korean general badly wounded in an

21
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: air strike yesterday. I don't know what that does to

22
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: the war. If Kim Jung un thinks, hey, I didn't

23
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: know my generals were going to get killed or anything.

24
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if it means anything.

25
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: Kim Jong un sent a rather stark message to the

26
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 3: incoming Trump administration the other day too, essentially saying, yeah,

27
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: you remember how it was last time. Not interested. I

28
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 3: don't care what you think. I don't need your help.

29
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 3: We're fine.

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: South Korea reporting that all along.

31
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: It's been a trade of weapons for money or there's

32
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: oil involved getting around the sanctions between North Korea and Russia. Well,

33
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: Rushia's out of a lot of things, including humans. That's

34
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: why North Korea is sending one hundred thousand troops over there.

35
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: Russia's gonna send air defense systems to North Korea, and

36
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: South Korea is really really unhappy about that. Oh boy

37
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: said that is there has always been their biggest fear

38
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: is North Korea having an air defense system if things

39
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: ever went down between them.

40
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: So, yeah, there's there's drip drips of.

41
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: I'll say it, World War III out there, so we'll see,

42
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: we'll keep it eye on it. So Matt Gates is gone.

43
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: The reporting is there's a couple of different reasons. One

44
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: they jd vance and him, went around, talked to all

45
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: the Republican senators, and it would seem according to reporting,

46
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: there were at least ten hard nos, which is more

47
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: than double the number of hard nos you could get.

48
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 2: And then there's just no point in continuing.

49
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,839
Speaker 1: You might continue to fight it and hope to turn

50
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: it around if you didn't have reports of either a

51
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 1: different seventeen year old or you had with the same

52
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: seventeen year old twice. I've heard two different reports on that,

53
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: but either way, another report of additional sex with the

54
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: seventeen year old. So do you want that out there

55
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: in the news for the next couple of months of

56
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: your Matt Gates And there's very little chance of you

57
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: getting confirmed anyway.

58
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: And for what it's worth, speaking for myself, I'm well

59
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 3: aware of his scumbag friends. Greenberg was at his name

60
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 3: and that whole phrakus and how their accusations flying around

61
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 3: and a lot of it's little cloudy.

62
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: Look, the guy has no supporters, he has no friends.

63
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: Everybody hates him. Do you think that's there's no reason

64
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: for that? It's all deep state, every Republican hating him.

65
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: And look, it's mostly been that sort of guy in

66
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: my experience who ends up in a situation where scumbags

67
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 3: are telling lies about him, and some of it's true,

68
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 3: some of it's not. Everybody's covering their own ass, nobody's

69
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: behaving honorably, so yeah, some of it is kind of

70
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: cloudy and murky.

71
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: But he's got to go, and he went.

72
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,279
Speaker 1: And there's some belief that Trump uh with the specially

73
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: the seventeen year old girl another sex thing, and then

74
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: find out out the Republicans told him. Yeah, yet let's uh,

75
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 1: you got a you gotta call it good? Oh yeah,

76
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: say you're bound out. So Trump maybe called the shot

77
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: on that. But headline, Trump maintained support for Hegzeth. That's

78
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: Pete haig Zeth, who he named as his nominee for

79
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: Secretary of Defense, who has his own sex scandal. Now

80
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: we're going to listen to this ABC report about it.

81
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what details will include or not, and

82
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: then we'll fill in the rest of them.

83
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 4: In the police report from Monterey, California, a woman who

84
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 4: met haig Set at a conservative conference told authorities he

85
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 4: cornered her in a hotel room, took her phone, and

86
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 4: quote blocked the door with his body, preventing her from leaving.

87
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 4: She said he sexually assaulted her and that she remembered

88
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 4: saying no a lot. Except denied the allegations and told

89
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 4: police what happened in the hotel that night was consensual.

90
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 3: The matter was fully investigated, and I was completely cleared.

91
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 4: According to the report, Police recommended this case before to

92
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 4: to the local district attorney for review and possible pros

93
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 4: Section accept was never charged with a crime.

94
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: You know why because they got all kinds of videos

95
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: for one thing of her all over him at the bar.

96
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: If you've ever seen that sort of thing before, it's

97
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: pretty obvious who's coming on to who sometimes, And they

98
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,239
Speaker 1: had videos of that and a number of other things

99
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: that caused it to part it. She was blackout drunk.

100
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: It's a bad story all the way around. So he

101
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: had and I've heard two reports on this. It was

102
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: either his wife at the time or was about to be.

103
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: His wife home with their newborn. And he goes to

104
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: speak at this conference, meets a woman. They're both drunk.

105
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: Woman's blackout drunk all over him. He's a very good

106
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: looking guy, all over him. They end up in the

107
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: hotel room having sex this woman at the conference. He

108
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: has sex with her husband and kids are there.

109
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 2: What. Yeah, so he's got a woman at home with

110
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: their kid. At least he's at home and not at

111
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 2: the hotel.

112
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: This woman, husband and kids are at the hotel and

113
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: doesn't come to the room that night and has to

114
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: come up with some sort of story why I didn't

115
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: come back to the room.

116
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 2: Holy crap.

117
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: Can you imagine being in a hotel on vacation with

118
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: your wife and kids and your wife goes down to

119
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: the bar for drinks and doesn't come back to the room.

120
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: Holy crap.

121
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: I would be up scouring the hotel unless I guess

122
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 3: he slept through everything. But yes, and evidently she claimed

123
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 3: I fell asleep on Jenny's couch in her room, and

124
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 3: it has every sign of she woke up full of regret,

125
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 3: which is understandable. But then to call it rape. You

126
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 3: know I wasn't there. Well, people were drunk. I have

127
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 3: no idea.

128
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, as a guy who's known my

129
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: way around a you know, a drinking too much liaison.

130
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: That's the problem with them. That's the problem with them.

131
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: Everybody's hammered out of their mind. Neither party can remember

132
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: any or portions of it. And then what are you

133
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: gonna do with that information? How are you gonna nail

134
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: down anything? And when you got that situation going on.

135
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: Right, And she had a vague memory of saying no

136
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 3: a lot, she claimed, Yeah that I've read through the

137
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: parts of the police report and it's all very vague

138
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 3: and wishy washy. You know, Pete doesn't live his life

139
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 3: the way I lived mine, and I suggest you don't either.

140
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: But it's up to you. You end up in situations

141
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: like this. Yeah.

142
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all tawdry for sure, But the prosecutors at

143
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 3: the time said, now, no, just passed on it.

144
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: The concern from some of my favorite pundits, who wouldn't

145
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: be making this up just for the hell of it

146
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: is that and some of them actually know him, saying

147
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: his personal life is quite messy and has been for

148
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: a long time time. So in you know, based on

149
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: my experience, my life experience, probably wasn't the only time

150
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: this sort of thing has happened in his life.

151
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, who knows.

152
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 3: I don't believe that everybody who has a a sexual

153
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 3: life that is outside the strict confines of standard morality

154
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 3: or whatever that means, they are bad at everything or

155
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: evil at everything. Or untrustworthy about everything. I think there

156
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 3: are brilliant leaders of business who you would be smart

157
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 3: to hire as your CEO, who can't keep it in

158
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: their pants or don't aren't you know, faithful of the

159
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 3: spouses or whatever. I don't admire it, but I get it.

160
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 3: The sexual thing is just kind of out there in

161
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: a different area to make clearly is clearly is there

162
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: are all kinds of people that are upstanding in every

163
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 3: single other aspect of their life.

164
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 2: Except that it's kind of whatever it is.

165
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 3: And again I'm not approving of it. It just it

166
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 3: strikes me that that is true. And some of my

167
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 3: favorite thinkers say that Pete is extremely bright and extremely

168
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 3: serious about his purposes with reforming the military and the

169
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: Pentagon and standing up for our troops and making sure

170
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 3: they have their fighting capabilities. He could not be more

171
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 3: serious and have more fidelity to those issues.

172
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: So it's an interesting choice.

173
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 3: Can you find somebody who fits that bill and also

174
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 3: brings no baggage?

175
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 2: Yeah? Probably? Maybe?

176
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: Am I right or wrong on this? Did do I

177
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: remember this being true? Or did I make this up

178
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: in my head? That many of our European allies think

179
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: it's odd that in the United States, we hold this

180
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: against people, yeah, oh yeah, because they just accept it

181
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: as a different part of your life. And I don't

182
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: know if that's good or not. I find this topic fascinating.

183
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: If you're going to go backwards through history, you to

184
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: eliminate a lot of men, especially as you go back

185
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: through history it's more men. You would eliminate a lot

186
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: of the greatest men in US history if you were

187
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: going to hold them to a standard of being decent

188
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: people around the world of you know, fidelity and sex.

189
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: Some of our most revered presidents, Martin Luther King Junior.

190
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: I mean, just all kinds of people.

191
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: And do you want those people not in public life

192
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: because of the things they do in the bedroom or not.

193
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: I don't even know what I think of that. Now

194
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: if the guy's a rapist, I don't it's different.

195
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 3: That's different, right right, Just getting back to Pete bug, Yeah,

196
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 3: I don't.

197
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: I don't know.

198
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: And how do we how do we solve this? So

199
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: people knew John F. Kennedy Jr. Was the kind of

200
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: guy was People knew FDR was doing that, people knew

201
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: LBJ was doing that, And it just was an agreement

202
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: with the press that you didn't report on that sort

203
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: of thing.

204
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 2: Were we better when it was that way? Yes? And worse,

205
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: it's a mixed bag. Worse in what way?

206
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 3: Oh, sexual assault, exploitation, you know, all sorts.

207
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 2: Of stuff went along.

208
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: Man, that's where that's where it gets really difficult. Gray

209
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: area of harassment and all that sort of stuff, or

210
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: power dynamics and all those kind of things. That's it's very,

211
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: very difficult. But there's no getting around the fact that

212
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: if you're gonna have a standard of people who have

213
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: these kind of things in their background, affairs and whatnot

214
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: and drunken one night stands, all sort of stuff, they

215
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: can't be in high office. Well, you would eliminate a

216
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: lot of people. Yeah, And do you want to do

217
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: that or not?

218
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah.

219
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 3: At some point you've got to just look at what

220
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: was said by the various parties and then what the

221
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 3: prosecutor decided. And you know, regretful drunk women who have

222
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 3: torrid one night ers often regretted terribly, and some times,

223
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,359
Speaker 3: especially in the modern era, make claims that are unsupportable

224
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 3: and horrible in themselves.

225
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: Well, the party that cares the most about morality and religion,

226
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: at least in theory has elected Donald Trump twice, Yes,

227
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: knowing very well.

228
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 2: What his life is like. So yeah, maybe we've made

229
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 2: our decision.

230
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

231
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: The whole history this is.

232
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 3: So interesting too, because it was viewed differently, you know,

233
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 3: prior to the Great Protestant Reform of the early I

234
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 3: guess the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

235
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: When do they cite that it doesn't matter? I don't

236
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 2: know to each there on. I suppose you can be

237
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: judging these things.

238
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: You can go back to Gary Hart in eighty what

239
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: year was the Gary Hart scandal? But he would have

240
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: been the nominee for the Democratic Party abs frequently maybe

241
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: president of the United States. But they found out he

242
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: was having an affair and that was the end of

243
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: it because he hadn't he was having an affair. Really wow, okay,

244
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: that we wouldn't do that now I don't think.

245
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 2: Like yeah, yeah, and that wasn't that long ago.

246
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, completely end your political career because you had a

247
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: consensual affair. There wasn't even even a hint of any

248
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: sort of gray area, you know, assault, rape, anything like.

249
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: That at all.

250
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 3: Well, and nobody went to the you know, missus Hart

251
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 3: who probably said I'm actually seeing a dude too, It's fine.

252
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: That is the way we do it.

253
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 2: We're very, very wealthy. You wouldn't understand, right exactly.

254
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 3: That's a good So she's in ping is absolutely right

255
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 3: about a couple of things. And Kim Jong un, oh boy,

256
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 3: Donald Trump with the colin his ex booty call and

257
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 3: Kim Jong is saying, no, thank you all that to

258
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 3: come stay with us.

259
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: So we have a San Jose State Spartan volleyball update,

260
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 1: because we're really big on women's volleyball here on the

261
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty Show.

262
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 3: Longtime listeners know that, well, mostly the women part of it.

263
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: Uh Well, according to the Washington Post article I'm reading today,

264
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: they have an alleged transgender player on the San Jose

265
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: State Spartans. I suppose that's fair to say alleged, since

266
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: if you're a reporter and you haven't seen the penis

267
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: in question, you get taken somebody's word for it, and

268
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: the player has not come out and said that they're transgender,

269
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: so you're going off the I don't know reports of

270
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: people who have seen them in the locker.

271
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: Room, I guess anyway.

272
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: The reason this is in the news today, a couple

273
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: of things A judge is about to make a ruling,

274
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: could be any minute. Hasn't happened as of yet this morning,

275
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: cause the conference tournament is this weekend in Las Vegas,

276
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: and there are two things that need to be determined

277
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: by a judge. One because there are lawsuits going on.

278
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: One does the San Jose State player in question get

279
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: the play or not? And two do those fourfoots count

280
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: as losses or not? Because there's an effort to say, hey,

281
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: all those forfeits don't count as a loss for the

282
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: other teams because the transgender blah blah blah, everything like that.

283
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: And it has to do with a Settle nine lawsuit.

284
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: And whether or not you get to count it as

285
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: a win, that's the more important thing. Do you get

286
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: to do San Jose State get to count it as

287
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: a win to help their record in the conference tournament.

288
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: So that'll be interesting to see what that ruling is.

289
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: If the transgender player plays and they go in with

290
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: a really great record all those forfeits being wins, there'll

291
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: be a high seed and they could dominate.

292
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 3: This feels to me very much like two years from

293
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 3: now the NCAA will announce that indeed the conference champion

294
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 3: was X and they will mail the gals medals. And

295
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, if some running back is discovered

296
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 3: who have been given a Cadillac, you know back in

297
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 3: the day, recruiting scandal, blah blah blah, you would you

298
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: lose your national championship.

299
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: Whatever. They'll rectify it in reverse.

300
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 3: Secondly, and I said this not to quibble, but because

301
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 3: it's very, very important. This simple truth shall set ye free.

302
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 3: The absence of a penis does not mean that a

303
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 3: man is a woman. A man cannot become a woman

304
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 3: by getting a surgery nor taking hormones. A low testosterone

305
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 3: man is not a woman.

306
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: Trust me.

307
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 3: A man who's been surgically altered is not a woman.

308
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: Anyway.

309
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 3: Having said that, well, here's some great stuff from the

310
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 3: California Globe about trans women or the latest chapter in

311
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 3: the Emperor's New Clothes. Here is a Montana representative saying

312
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 3: trans women are women full stop, where every bit is

313
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 3: biologically female as cis women.

314
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: Well, that the last part is definitely crazy. I mean,

315
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: you're really off the reservation there.

316
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: Dogs are dogs.

317
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: Get the hot dogs our dog's t shirt at Armstrong

318
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: and Getty dot com.

319
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 3: I'm more sympathetic towards shijin Ping than I've been at

320
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 3: a very long time. You're gonna like his new policy,

321
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 3: trust me, I know that sounds crazy.

322
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 2: Has Joe gone coming?

323
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty?

324
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 5: Some business news I saw the Targets stock just fell

325
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 5: to a yearly low, while Walmart's soar to an all

326
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 5: time high.

327
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 2: Yep.

328
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 5: Now Target execs are shopping at Walmart and Walmart execs

329
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 5: are shopping at Target.

330
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 2: That's pretty good.

331
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: But again, I have read a couple of articles about

332
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: that twenty percent drop and Target stock the other day

333
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: after the report came out.

334
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: None of them.

335
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: None of the articles trying to describe why Target stock

336
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: is down so much included their choices culturally.

337
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: Yes, how do you leave that out where?

338
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 3: Selling tuck bathing suits for your little boy who thinks

339
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 3: he's a little girl and aggressively marketing them up with

340
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 3: trans as you walk in the front now changed my

341
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: perception of Target forever.

342
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely, not an exaggeration. I saw it at my local

343
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: Target store. I walked in the front door.

344
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: The first thing you saw they set it up there

345
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: so you couldn't avoid it, was their display of rainbow stuff,

346
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: including trans stuff for kids. Yes, that changed my perception

347
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: of Target forever. I personally know a handful of people

348
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: who stop shopping there forever because of that. So how

349
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: do you leave that out of the conversation, Whereas what's

350
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: Walmart's brand culturally? Completely one hundred percent the opposite up

351
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: with America blah blah.

352
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 3: Blah, much more Trumpian. Yeah, no doubt about it. There's

353
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 3: all general shape.

354
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: There's also the fact that Walmart makes something like sixty

355
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: percent of the money on groceries and they have a

356
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: real big edge on groceries over Target.

357
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: But you can't you can't leave out the cultural stuff.

358
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I.

359
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 3: Wouldn't claim that that was all of it, but to

360
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 3: pretend that it's not part of it, it's just foolish.

361
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 3: But the media is just the media is the media.

362
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 3: We were talking earlier about how the various post mortems

363
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 3: that the Democratic Party and their media friends are conducting

364
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 3: on the election completely miss a lot of the obvious stuff,

365
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 3: to which I say, it's fine, I'm not going to

366
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 3: point it out to you anyway. I would love to

367
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 3: talk at greater length about the situation with North Korea.

368
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 3: As Donald Trump comes back into office, everything has changed,

369
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 3: the levers have changed, the alliances have changed. North Korea's

370
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 3: place in the world has changed. Their nuclear weapon development

371
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 3: has changed. And if you think Donnie's going to drop

372
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 3: a note to his old buddy Kim Jong and just

373
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 3: rev things up again, it's just not going to happen.

374
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 3: And we could get into that maybe next hour. It's interesting,

375
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 3: but it's a little dry, and I'd rather talk about

376
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 3: this frankly. Chijin Ping is an evil, rotten son of

377
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: a bit. She's a communist, he's a genocidal dictator. He's

378
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 3: a crusher of the human spirit. I mean, he's a

379
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: thousand different evil, evil things run. I will loathe communism

380
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 3: with my last breath. He runs a country with a

381
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 3: million slaves.

382
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 2: Yes.

383
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 5: Yes.

384
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 3: On the other hand, if you study the Chinese economy

385
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 3: at all, in Chinese cultures, I do you know that

386
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 3: there's all sorts of talk about various ways to fire

387
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 3: up their economy because it is floundering.

388
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 2: It's it's propped up.

389
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 3: By artificial spending on giant government projects and housing developments

390
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 3: that will never have people in them, and it's just

391
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 3: it's a bit of a house of cards. And the

392
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 3: various policymakers have been hoping for massive stimulus or cuts

393
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 3: in this or that and the other.

394
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 2: But here's the point of this.

395
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 3: One of the ways Shijin Ping wants to bring the

396
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 3: economy back to life. He has said, you gotta slash

397
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 3: red tape. His directive to supervisors, hold fewer meetings, make

398
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 3: them shorter, cut superfluous paperwork.

399
00:20:58,480 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: Do you hear that?

400
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: Management all across the country, even Sheshing Ping realizes that

401
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: most meetings are a waste of time.

402
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 2: All right, everybody's caught on.

403
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, don't burden the grassroots at your local levernment

404
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 3: level of commedy government workers with cumbersome and unproductive tasks.

405
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 3: Stop using phone apps to track your staff and bombard

406
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 3: them with instructions. Don't overwhelm them with performance reviews lest

407
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 3: they focus on pleasing their bosses rather than getting work done.

408
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 3: Here I need to pause and point out that in

409
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 3: the Chinese Communist Party, they expect government workers to accomplish

410
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 3: something to the point that they're being hounded by their

411
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 3: supervisors if they're not productive enough.

412
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 2: How much does that contrast with that email we read.

413
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 3: Yesterday about the dude who works for the State of California.

414
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 3: It's nothing to do, Ah, This supervisor's got nothing to do.

415
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: And a co workers have nothing to do.

416
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: There aren't enough books, movies, speeches. There should be folk

417
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: songs about bureaucracies and what they do. I mean, if

418
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: the most libertarian free market person realizes most meetings are

419
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: a waste of time, and the most autocratic dictator realizes

420
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: most meetings are a waste of time.

421
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 2: How do they still continue to be so much of

422
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 2: everybody's life.

423
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: As I've always said, I think I've been to two

424
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: meetings in my life that needed to happen.

425
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 2: All the rest of them could have been an email

426
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 2: or a phone call.

427
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 3: Well, and open that question to meetings that justified the

428
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 3: amount of times expended.

429
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: Huh right anyway, Yeah.

430
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 3: If Steve Jobs and me and you and Chesan being

431
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 3: all agree on, I mean elon. Sure, yeah, there's more

432
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 3: and this will really ring true to a lot of you,

433
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 3: especially in the private sector. But many local bureaucrats are

434
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 3: required to a bit weekly, monthly, and quarterly reports, sapping

435
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 3: their time and energy. One official lamented quote the job

436
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 3: must be done well, but more important, the reports must

437
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 3: be written beautifully. If the word counts in the document

438
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 3: are lower than that of the other departments, we get

439
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 3: in trouble.

440
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 1: Wow, that happens the private sector, similar sort of thing.

441
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: The reports are more important than the actual result. Yeah,

442
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: there's some weird belief in it drives me. Not that

443
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: there's some weird belief that, like somebody will come in

444
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: and so you have quarterly reports. We're gonna have monthly reports. There,

445
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: I've done something productive, right, We're really gonna hold our

446
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: people accountable.

447
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 2: Well, and it.

448
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 3: Metastasizes depending on how local control is. If controls very local.

449
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 3: You know, I'm running Ah, I'm thinking of our various sponsors.

450
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 3: I'm running a ten man HVAC company. All right, it's me.

451
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 3: I'm the boss. My wife does the accounting, and we've

452
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 3: got you know, like eight techs out in the field.

453
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:12,719
Speaker 3: Nobody's filing any damn reports. And then when you become bigger,

454
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 3: and then you're bought by a corporation, and then you're

455
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 3: taking over by some venture capital, then there's reports constantly.

456
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 2: Right.

457
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: Funny you talking about President she I was just looking

458
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 1: at some video from this morning at the G twenty

459
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: summit and all those world leaders, and it's interesting that

460
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: we do it this way.

461
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,239
Speaker 2: Maybe it makes sense, I don't know.

462
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: But you got all these world leaders, including some really

463
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: awful human beings, all shaking hands and laughing and joking

464
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: about who's gonna stand where for the picture and everything

465
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: like that with the President She who tortures and kills people,

466
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: or the guy in the headdress from one of the

467
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: Middle Eastern countries who does the same thing, you know,

468
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: talking with the President Italy where you care about human

469
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: beings and everybody just we're all leader of our countries. Huh.

470
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 2: It's an interesting way to.

471
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, probably necessary, Probably is, But I don't

472
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: know that I could just backslap President She knowing what

473
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: he does to people.

474
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 2: Until recently, Putin would have.

475
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 3: Been there, right right, Katie, feel free to jump in

476
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 3: if you feel like getting back to the main theme

477
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 3: of chesin ping efficiency expert, and there are aspects of

478
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 3: totalitarianism that are very, very efficient. But this reminds me

479
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 3: of a certain industry. I may have some familiarity with

480
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 3: government workers. Oh excessive inspections. Oh no, that's not the

481
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 3: Oh there it is, let's see. Oh yeah, they're talking

482
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 3: about people who spend all their time not doing their job,

483
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 3: but doing writing reports on their job, and how well

484
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 3: they're doing it. We know salespeople who have no time

485
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 3: to sell because they're filling out sales reports.

486
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: We know great salespeople who have left because they spent

487
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 1: more time filling out reports than selling, so they went

488
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: somewhere where they could spend more time selling.

489
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 3: Uh, you got to fill out these reports every day.

490
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 3: I kick ass every single day. It's there on the

491
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 3: bottom line. I don't care. You got to fill out

492
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 3: their reports.

493
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's in the dollar amount.

494
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: Yeah I don't it's but that's why they think there

495
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: need to be more books, movies, and folk songs about bureaucracies,

496
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: because the power of a bureaucracy to just do the

497
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: same thing no matter what is wild. It's it's like gravity.

498
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: It takes a big company, takes over a little company,

499
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, meetings and reports and.

500
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: Crap like that. Yeah.

501
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh, there is something unique to communism that that uh,

502
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 3: that causes us to become a huge problem. Even Stalin

503
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 3: fretted over excessive bureaucracy and how you know everybody's so

504
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 3: into extending him reports that they weren't actually building any attractors.

505
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 3: But it happens in the private enterprise too well. And

506
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 3: in government. We've solved that problem by having no accountability whatsoever.

507
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 2: And you should.

508
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: I guess that shows you just how hard it is

509
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: to stop. Because if in a totalitarian regime where you

510
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: could execute people for doing things wrong, you still can't

511
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: stop it.

512
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 2: It must be pretty hard to stop.

513
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, word from our friends and sponsors that prize

514
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:24,720

Speaker 3: Over a ten million members billions of dollars in awarded

517
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 3: winning prize picks. You just pick more or less on

Speaker 3: to one hundred times your cash. And they have all

520
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 3: sorts of like insurance policies, injuries, or if you miss

521
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 3: on one of them, you can do the flex play,

522
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 3: which means you can still cash out if your lineup

523
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 3: isn't perfect.

524
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 2: It's cool, it's fun, it's easy. Yeah.

525
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,719
Speaker 1: I'm wonder what the more or less is on how

00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to this or not.

552
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 2: We're not. We're We're a Californians, me and my kids.

00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 2: We're not. We're not cold. Other people.

554
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: You got the thin blood of the soft, soft Californian.

555
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 3: Do they have the proper gloves.

556
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: And hats and suck? I don't think we have any

557
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: of that stuff. Now that the fits, you know it

558
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: is with kids. They fit last year. Oh so we

559
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: don't have this year's version of that stuff. You got

561
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: on your beaany, throw on your gloves, throw on your coat,

562
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: all right, now stand at attention. I have a feeling

563
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: they're going to be saying, because of football NFL games

564
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: at least three hours long, like an hour and a

565
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: half in, they're gonna be thinking, why are we doing

566
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: this again?

567
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 2: I'm miserable? Oh well, it's a ride a passage, right huh?

568
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 2: Part of that? Sure, sure it is.

569
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: You got see these other eighty thousand people. Yeah, huh,

570
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: they know what they're doing, right huh. I think they're crazy.

571
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 3: Sometimes fun comes with being fearful of your life, all right, son,

572
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:47,239
Speaker 3: that's part of it.

573
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

574
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: Being miserably uncomfortable is what we paid for, and it

575
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: was very expensive to do this. So sit there and

576
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: be uncomfortable and enjoy it. Put a smile on your face, Sarl,

577
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: take away your video games. That's what I'll say.

578
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 2: Who are the racist chiefs playing Oland Raiders?

579
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 3: The Raiders right, which is soft on crime to me? Raiders, pirates, buccaneers,

580
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 3: et ceterac. Soft on crime, which is right for Oakland? Well, Vegas.

581
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 3: Now same thing in Vegas, mobsters versus a racist.

582
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: Oh I'm gonna be doing Indian stereotype.

583
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: Mana O, my god, smell the racism.

584
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: You know. Maybe I'll stand up and give a speech

585
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: to the eighty thousand people doing their arm wave, including

586
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift up in the box this year. We're playing

587
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: this game on the land they used to belong to

588
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: the Rappa hole, you know what?

589
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 2: Yell let between every play? Yeah, that would go. Well,

590
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 2: see how long it takes before you get beat up?

591
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: We've got more on the way.

592
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 2: Do you follow this rule? Do you do here? Do

593
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 2: I have?

594
00:30:55,880 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 6: I have already said that I will not use multi

595
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 6: style women's restrooms in the capital, But again, that is

596
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 6: my choice here. I always knew that there would be

597
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 6: an effort to politicize my use of restroom, and if

598
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 6: anyone had thought to ask me about what I was

599
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 6: planning on doing I would have been happy to tell.

600
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: Them, Okay, that's the first transgender congress person being asked

601
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: about the whole restroom thing that needs to get figured out.

602
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 2: What is that politicized? You're literally in politics, well, and

603
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: who politicized it? Dudes going into women's restrooms?

604
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: Though you didn't politicize it, those of us who are

605
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: pushing back against it politicized it. Okay, ridiculous. The lie

606
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: is obvious, which leads me into this. I thought this

607
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: was really good writing, so I wanted to read a

608
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: little bit of It's from Rich Lowry of National Review.

609
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: But he's writing in the New York Post about whispered conversations.

610
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: That has so much to do with why Trump won,

611
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: and if the left can't figure it out, they're gonna

612
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: lose a lot of elections. We live in an age

613
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: of whispered conversations. There are aspects of American life that

614
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: everyone or nearly everyone knows are absurd, but it's too

615
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: afraid to speak out against and feels powerless to reverse.

616
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:15,719
Speaker 4: It.

617
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: Used to be said that if someone looked over his shoulder,

618
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: he was about to tell an insensive joke. Now people

619
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: are worried about being overheard making what should be common

620
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: sensical observations. Below are the kinds of conversations that are

621
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: happening all the time. And then I'll run through these

622
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: because I thought it was so good. It's been true

623
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: in my life. The maternity ward nurse in a low voice, saying,

624
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: where the forms is birthing parent? That means mother. They

625
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: just changed it. I know it's crazy. The staff are

626
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: in a medical office explaining that the ethic boxes need

627
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: to be checked on another form, even though the categories

628
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: make no sense, and confiding maybe I should have checked

629
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 1: hispanic myself. At some point, I think we had a

630
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: relative from Spain somewhere along the line. The group of

631
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: moms together at the local coffee shop making sure that

632
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: no one else can hear from a nearby able. Did

633
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: you see what happened in the high school track competition?

634
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: Why are guys competing against girls? The staff at a

635
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: bank to a friend he or she can completely trust

636
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: near the water cooler when there are absolutely certain no

637
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: one else is around. That training was ridiculous, wasn't it?

638
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 2: What a waste of time.

639
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: It's a little like what it must have been like

640
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: in say, East Germany, when no one believed in the system,

641
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: but no one dared let on what they were actually thinking.

642
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: This phenomenon surely had an influence on the outcome of

643
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: the election. As the Financial Times is documented, progressive elites

644
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: hold views often well to the left of the average voter,

645
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: even the average Democratic voter. On cultural issues, America's decades

646
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: long progress toward racial and sexual talents and equality, to

647
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,959
Speaker 1: paper notes, has been a gradual shift led by progressives,

648
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: with the center and right quickly following. The new cultural

649
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: shifts are different, largely driven by activists and nonprofit staffers

650
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: that surround the Democratic Party. They've been abrupt and left

651
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: the majority behind.

652
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 3: Abrupt is right, I mean, came out of nowhere, and

653
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 3: it went from I've never heard of that too. If

654
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 3: I dare say I think this is crazy, I will

655
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 3: lose my career in the blink of an eye.

656
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 2: And people are pissed.

657
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,720
Speaker 1: People know that Wolkeness has been pushed into their lives

658
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: as a deliberate choice by authorities, HR departments and the

659
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 1: like who don't care what they think, or worse, will

660
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: punish them for thinking the wrong thing. Uh And he

661
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: says the Trump vote was a pushback against that.

662
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 2: Absolu freaklutely it was.

663
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: I like the example of the how about that training

664
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: session we just spend an hour on being a waste

665
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: of time?

666
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: What percentage of people agree with that? Ninety more? How

667
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 2: many people walk out of that?

668
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 3: All white people are racist and evil and you must

669
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 3: divide everyone by race training sessions angry and resentful versus.

670
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 2: Oh, now I see the.

671
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 3: Truth might be ten to one or the over the top,

672
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 3: soft headed, over educated white women.

673
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: What's the matter with you white women? Or the over the.

674
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: Top sexual harassment training are pronoun training or whatever?

675
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 2: You know?

676
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 1: Which party made that happen? If you're of a certain age,

677
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,720
Speaker 1: you didn't used to have to do this. You didn't

678
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: used to spend god, what is it now, ten twelve

679
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: hours a year. You didn't used to spend all those

680
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: hours doing that, and life seemed to be fine, and

681
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: now you do.

682
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 2: Which party's pushing that? I mean, it's clear.

683
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 3: Lowry's making a great point too, that the whispered stuff

684
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 3: is widely, widely agreed upon, right, but you dare not

685
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 3: say it. And it reminds me, actually it's worse in

686
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 3: East Germany. It's more like Orwell's nineteen eighty four in

687
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 3: that since you were constantly under surveillance, if even an

688
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 3: eye roll or a look of boredom crossed your face,

689
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 3: the authorities would notice it, and they would punish you

690
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 3: for it. Think about one of those training sessions. If

691
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 3: the trainer saw you rolling your eyes at all white

692
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 3: people are born and racists, you're in trouble.

693
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: Well, I think they're not as whispered now as they

694
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 1: were prior to two and a half weeks ago.

695
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 3: Well, and I tell you what not to make myself

696
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 3: out of some Jonah Varker a hero of some sort.

697
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 3: But one of the reasons I enjoy saying the stuff

698
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 3: that we all know to be true but you're not

699
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 3: supposed to say. One of the reasons I enjoy it

700
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 3: so much is because I know a lot of y'all can't,

701
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 3: and so if for no other reason, it's kind of

702
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 3: fun to do it for you.

703
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: If you miss an hour, get the podcast Armstrong and

704
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:17,480
