Speaker 6: a James Brown thing going there.

18
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 5: Yesterday when the Democrats were just yelling f Trump and

19
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 5: we declared that was the bottom of the barrel of

20
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 5: political communication, they bounce back with you musty moo moo moo.

21
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:40,840

Speaker 5: all right, and this guy gets elected.

23
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 6: Wow, I'm gonna tell a story tomorrow. This is a

24
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 6: tease for tomorrow before we move on here. Tomorrow is

25
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 6: Valentine's Day. Today is Gallantine's Day, where apparently women get

26
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 6: together for drinks or something go out to dinner themselves.

27
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: And tomorrow's Valentine's Day.

28
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 6: And I gotta get permission to tell this story, even

29
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 6: though I will still try to make it vague, of

30
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 6: a young girl who in grade school did not treat

31
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 6: well classmate's Valentine's Day overtures that boy ended up in

32
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 6: a life of crime, and she has always felt like

33
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 6: it was her that day that sent him on his wayward.

34
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 6: Who wow, god, oh man. There are more details that

35
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 6: make it really funny, but I'll have to wait and

36
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 6: see if I can sure those. So Randy Wingarten, we

37
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 6: are talking about her yesterday. Coincidentally she she's still running

38
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 6: the teacher's union or absolutely she is an actual evil

39
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 6: human being, And don't mind, I have no problem saying

40
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 6: that that is not hyperbole.

41
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 2: She's evil.

42
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 6: She she cares more about money than your kids learning,

43
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 6: and unfortunately ended up in charge of teachers across the country.

44
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 5: If she merely cared about money more than the kids.

45
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 5: I could live with that. I guess she doesn't care

46
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 5: about the kids at all. She doesn't care if they

47
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 5: learn or not, if they're miserable or not, if they're

48
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 5: set back and will never recover or not.

49
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: She doesn't give a single s about that.

50
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, she's she's the one that brought you school closed

51
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 6: downs and all that sort of stuff. Anyway, here's her

52
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 6: talking about Trump and Elon's attempt this week to go

53
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 6: after the Department of Education.

54
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 7: What is now coming down the pipe in this aura

55
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 7: of efficiency.

56
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: It's not efficiency, it's a viseration.

57
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 7: It is an attempt to take the funding and take

58
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 7: the rights away from each.

59
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: And every child.

60
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 6: Oh my god.

61
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, she is more than happy to use these souls

62
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 5: of your children as some sort of righteous bargaining chip

63
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 5: when she'd willingly crush them for another dollar for her

64
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 5: union members.

65
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 6: Here's Trump making his argument for why we should do

66
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 6: apartment away with the Department of Education a close.

67
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 8: Oh, I'd like it to be closed immediately. Look, the

68
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 8: Department of Education's a big conjab. We're ranked so they

69
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 8: ranked the top forty countries in the world.

70
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: We're ranked number fortieth.

71
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 8: But We're ranked number one in one department costs per pupil,

72
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 8: so we spend more for pupil than any other country

73
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 8: in the world.

74
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 2: But we're ranked number forty.

75
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 8: We've been between thirty eight and forty. The last time

76
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 8: I looked at was thirty eight, and then I looked

77
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 8: two days ago it came out the new list. It

78
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 8: came out at number forty. So we're ranked forty. Norway, Denmark, Sweden.

79
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 8: I hate to say it. China, as big as it is,

80
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 8: it's ranked in the top five, and that's our that's

81
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 8: a primary competitor.

82
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 2: We're ranked number forty.

83
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 8: So if we're ranked number forty, that means something's really wrong.

84
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 6: I would agree, and I would like to hear anybody

85
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 6: I know. I brought this up last week. We'll say

86
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 6: it again since nineteen seventy Somebody, if you're listening right now,

87
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 6: and maybe you don't listen to this show, if you

88
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 6: have this point of view, because we've annoyed you so

89
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 6: much over the years with our point of view. But

90
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 6: if you're of the point of view that no, the

91
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 6: department education is very necessary and the public school system

92
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 6: is not a disaster, please explain to me why since

93
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 6: nineteen seventy, students have increased by eight percent, but non

94
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 6: teaching staff has increased by one hundred and thirty eight percent.

95
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 6: Why somebody, Have you heard anybody make the argument, why, oh,

96
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 6: that's completely necessary, And here's why I haven't.

97
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: No, no, never, absolutely not.

98
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 5: The only thing that I will occasionally get is people

99
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 5: will say, the federal requirements for record keeping and compliance

100
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 5: and all are so onerous. We have an entire department

101
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 5: filling out government forms. That probably explains.

102
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: Part of it.

103
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 6: Well, okay, that that might be the explanation, but the

104
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 6: explanation The answer then is, well, then you've got to

105
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 6: get rid of all the freaking forms.

106
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: So you can also get rid of the people with you,

107
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: not against you.

108
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 6: The students have increased by eight percent since nineteen seventy,

109
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 6: teaching staff by sixty percent, total staff eighty four percent,

110
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 6: But if you take the teachers out of that total

111
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 6: staff increase, it's one hundred and thirty eight percent non

112
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 6: teaching staff increase. You got so many people bumping around

113
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 6: into school in offices doing stuff that nobody did ten

114
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 6: years ago or twenty years ago. Were sure as how

115
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 6: forty years ago, and everything seemed to be fine, right, Well,

116
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 6: and in the last ten years or so, a lot

117
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 6: of it's been DEI departments. I was just I just

118
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 6: saw the number Trump has with a stroke of a

119
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 6: pen canceled one hundred million dollars. I think it is

120
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 6: of DEI funding for local educational programs, that sort of thing.

121
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: One hundred million dollars being squandered on that garbage.

122
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 6: I thought it was more than that. I had the numbers.

123
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 6: But anyway, your point being.

124
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 5: Well, that may just be you know, one particular line item.

125
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 5: I mean, when you get into what the universities themselves

126
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 5: are spending, never mind the directly federal funded stuff.

127
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: It's the numbers are are mind blowing.

128
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, but again I usually know what the argument on

129
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 6: the other side is on a lot of big issues

130
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 6: because I watch enough MSNBC or listen NPR, whatever, But

131
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 6: I haven't heard the argument for why you need many

132
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 6: multiples more people in your schools just doing something in

133
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 6: an office.

134
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

135
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, government education has become, like so many government

136
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 5: agencies and programs, just this giant unwe wield the ungovernable

137
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 5: self governing colossus. And as Elon Musk is pointing out

138
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 5: so eloquently, yesterday and we replayed one of the pieces

139
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 5: of audio today. If the bureaucracy is not accountable to

140
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 5: the elected representatives, it has truly become a fourth branch

141
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 5: of government, and it is not democratically influenced. You've lost

142
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 5: a significant chunk of your democracy. If the government schools

143
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 5: do what they want to do, and they're going to

144
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 5: keep doing it and you get you don't get a say,

145
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 5: that's a terrible, terrible way to be.

146
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 6: So they're voting currently on RFK Junior as Health and

147
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 6: Human Health and Human Secretary HHS Secretary, and he's supposed

148
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 6: to pass, although McConnell is voted against. But I'll bet

149
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 6: it's going to be the same as Tulca Gabbart, all

150
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 6: the Republicans for, all the Democrats against all the Republicans.

151
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 6: But it's McConnell for and he'll pass. And then patel

152
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 6: Cash Pateel, the FBI director. He has gotten out of

153
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 6: that committee vote just now and he'll get the full

154
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 6: floor vote tomorrow.

155
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 2: So it looks like.

156
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 6: Everybody but Matt Gates that Trump initially wanted is going

157
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 6: to get through. Yes, yeah, there you go.

158
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 5: I'm a little surprised, but we'll see how it goes.

159
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 5: And you know, as important as some of that stuff is,

160
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 5: I almost think it's a distraction from some of the

161
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 5: bigger issues that we have, like we've been talking about absolutely.

162
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 5: I mean, I came across a fabulous piece by Tony

163
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 5: woodleyf who's a political writer, and he's talking about some

164
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 5: of the slashing of grants and payments and the rest

165
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 5: of it that's caused such angst and caused the people

166
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 5: to gather in DC and sing that idiotic Union tune

167
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,119
Speaker 5: yesterday Side.

168
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 6: Are You.

169
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 5: Side?

170
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 2: Are you fun? In the cords? And I was just

171
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 2: bellowing it out in my bed.

172
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 5: We had not set that up in a as friends,

173
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 5: and as I was saying those words, half of me

174
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 5: was hoping Michael had it.

175
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: Handy, and half of me was afraid he had it handy.

176
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 5: Anyway, it turns out that's like an old Union song

177
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 5: from back in the day, and they're trying to revive

178
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 5: it with idiotic new lyrics.

179
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: But anyway, so all.

180
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 5: Of that angst about how dare they cancel payments and

181
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 5: cut back in Nylon musk and doge is unelected and scary,

182
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 5: and it's going to ruin America in nineteen ninety three,

183
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 5: the average state counted on federal agencies for twenty three

184
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 5: percent of its revenue, which is a little odd. As

185
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 5: I often say, your state like sends all that money

186
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 5: to DC, then begs for it back and under a

187
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 5: quarter but nearly a quarter of its budget is the

188
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 5: largesse of our federal overlords.

189
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: Okay, that was in nineteen ninety three.

190
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 5: Last year, this average reached thirty nine percent, with two

191
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 5: states Alaska Louisiana, dependent on.

192
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 2: For half of their funds.

193
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 5: And there are many state leaders who present themselves as

194
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 5: conservatives who despise federal bloat. It might be hard to

195
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 5: blame them for taking all that free money if not

196
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 5: for the fact that anyone who pays more than rudimentary

197
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 5: attention to the mechanics of federal grants knows that this

198
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 5: money is neither free nor is it reliable. And we

199
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 5: could certainly get into I don't think it's necessary, but

200
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 5: as that money is collected and processed in DC and

201
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 5: then doled out again, it is a giant money laundering

202
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 5: cash for micronies, phony green energy, fake grants to never

203
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 5: do anything anti homeless coalition bull crap. It's a giant

204
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 5: money laundering exercise and just send one hundred dollars to

205
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 5: DC and if you get back ninety of it, it's

206
00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 5: only because they've drained twenty cents of it and borrowed

207
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 5: another ten cents to at least keep you semi happy

208
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 5: with the amount that you get back after you beg

209
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 5: It is.

210
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: A horrible system. It's indefensible.

211
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 5: As Elon said about the idiot record keeping thing we

212
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 5: described yesterday, literally anything would be better than this, all right,

213
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 5: But you try to change it and reform it, people say,

214
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 5: oh no, no.

215
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 2: That might be changed. Yikes. I'm excited.

216
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 6: I think it's this Sunday night, that Saturday Night Lives

217
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 6: having their big anniversary show, the fiftieth anniversary.

218
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. I remember when they want to see the documentary

219
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 2: about all the music that Questlove of.

220
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 6: I saw the promos that looked pretty fantastic. Other I

221
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 6: remember SNL's fortieth anniversary show was spectacular. God, I thought

222
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 6: that was so entertaining. How about I watched that four times,

223
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 6: kept that on my TVR. They're at the big fiftieth anniversary.

224
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 6: But anyway, USA Today put out a list of the

225
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 6: twenty greatest Greatest SNL cast members all time, maybe I'll

226
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,599
Speaker 6: run through that at some point, see if you agree not.

227
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: Among other things, we'll get to today.

228
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 6: Stay here.

229
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: I can see this.

230
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 6: In his said a found that taking ozempi could lead

231
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 6: to vision problems.

232
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: How cruel you finally lose weight, now you're seeing double.

233
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 2: When they heard the.

234
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 8: Alternative to ozempic is exercise, people were just like, well, just.

235
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 6: How blind are we talking to you?

236
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 5: You know that second part was darkly hilarious. Ye, the

237
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 5: first part I just thought.

238
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: I wouldn't make a joke about that.

239
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 6: No, but the second part is pretty accurate. Yeah, you

240
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 6: could either exercise to lose weight or take this fifty

241
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 6: percent change you go blind. Em So I need to

242
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 6: see that bad Duman Jimmy fallon there. Who got his

243
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 6: start on Saturday Night Live like Seth Myers did?

244
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: Who's on the other show?

245
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 6: Lots of people have it was, it says here in

246
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 6: the USA today Saturday Night Live, which is having its

247
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 6: fiftieth season. It started in nineteen seventy five, before many

248
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 6: of you were born. The years, alumni have gone on

249
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 6: to become Oscar and Emmy winners, box office superstars, late

250
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 6: night hosts, multi hyphenated producers, and even a US senator

251
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 6: in the name of what's his name from Minnesota who grabbed.

252
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 5: The woman Franklin Al Franken. Well, he didn't, actually, he

253
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 5: pantomimed it and never should have resigned. But Democrats are wacky.

254
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 6: There have been one hundred and sixty seven cast members,

255
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 6: with the shortest one lasting a month, the longest lasting

256
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 6: twenty two years in Keenan Thompson, who is still on

257
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 6: the show. I haven't heard any explanation for why they've

258
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 6: kept him on for twenty years twenty two. I mean,

259
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 6: he's great, but there have been a lot of the

260
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 6: funniest people who've ever lived. But there have been lots

261
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 6: of really funny, great people that didn't stay that long.

262
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 6: Maybe why, well, right, why is he there? Why hasn't

263
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 6: he gone off to do movies or something?

264
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean because Saturday Night Live is famously on

265
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 5: weeks that they're working tremendous amount of work.

266
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 6: Right, and most people, most of the people become stars,

267
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 6: they leave on their own because they're into the movie

268
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 6: business or talk show or whatever. Or Lauren, because I've

269
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 6: read a lot about this, Lauren gets rid of them

270
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 6: because they're so distracted. I remember, like Chris Farley and

271
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 6: David Spade. They're flying around making movies all the time,

272
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 6: and it's like, Okay, you're too busy doing this to

273
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 6: do my show, so you know, how about we get

274
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 6: somebody else. Anyway. USA Today named the top thirty cast

275
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 6: members of all time. I think they went out of

276
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 6: their way to make a list that people would argue about,

277
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 6: which is what most lists are, because I think it's wrong.

278
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 6: And I've watched Sarah Live practically every episode over the

279
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,359
Speaker 6: entire fifty years. I am a Saturday Night Live devotee.

280
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 6: Top ten of all time? Maya Rudolph. They have a

281
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 6: ten who is absolutely hilarious and can make me laugh

282
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 6: doing anything.

283
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 2: Number nine, Dan Akroyd, Number eight Kate McKinnon.

284
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 6: Wow, she should be hired in eight. But you think

285
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 6: I would think number I don't know, she's hilarious. Number

286
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 6: seven Chris Farley, Number six, Amy Polar Number five. Boy,

287
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 6: I don't know he five's high, but he might need

288
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 6: to be Top two. Will Ferrell, Will Ferrell. I remember

289
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 6: hearing Tina Fay say one time, like some of the

290
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 6: big people at like Adam Sandler, left and she thought,

291
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 6: who's Will Ferrell? And then she said, oh, I realize

292
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 6: he's the greatest sketch comedy artist of all time, which.

293
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: He might be. Wow.

294
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 6: Number four, John Belushi, Number three, Gilda Radner too high

295
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 6: for me. I like her, but number three, number two,

296
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 6: Phil Hartman, number one, Wow, number one. They have Eddie Murphy.

297
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 6: I think Kristen Wig is a top fiver personally, but man,

298
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 6: there's a lot of choices. Dana Carvey, Andy Sandberg, Fred Armison,

299
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 6: Adam Sandler. Obviously I'll be watching Sunday Night. Their fortieth

300
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 6: anniversary special was fantastic and hilarious. They brought back all

301
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 6: the cast members. It was really really good.

302
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 5: Phil Hartman, no matter how hot the kokehead babe is

303
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 5: who comes on to you, it's a bad idea.

304
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,479
Speaker 6: No kidding. We now have a trans sanctuary city. Some

305
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 6: of the arguments from the city council meeting coming up,

306
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 6: Armstrong and Getty. One thing we were hoping would come

307
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 6: out of COVID was people getting more involved in city,

308
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 6: county elections, school board, that sort of stuff. I don't

309
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 6: know if that's happened, but when we realized how much

310
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 6: power those people have in an.

311
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 5: Emergency and what perverse things they were doing, Yeah.

312
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 6: This might be partially that we'll start here. We're going

313
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 6: to get to the trans sanctuary city of Wooster Mass

314
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 6: and the city council meeting they had last night. First,

315
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 6: we'll start with the New York school board meeting, which

316
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 6: descended into chaos over LGBTQIA plus books that showed up

317
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 6: in the law library and parents got outraged. Parents took

318
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 6: over a school board meaning this week, demanding to know

319
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 6: why their elementary school children were exposed to this book

320
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 6: that included depictions of naked people in bondage enthusiasts. We've

321
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 6: heard this kind of story from all around the country.

322
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 6: This is the classic. We put a book in there

323
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 6: because we're sick, a weird pedophile something or others.

324
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: More on that later.

325
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 6: I don't even understand what you're trying to do, you creepos,

326
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 6: but we put the book in the library, and then

327
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 6: when you demand it be taken out, we call you

328
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 6: sensors or book banners or something, right, because we tried

329
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 6: to ban porn from little children.

330
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, grooms.

331
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 6: A large and animated crowd of parents gathered in a

332
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 6: Monroe County auditorium on Tuesday and voice their concerns of

333
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 6: the superintendent and school board about their young children having

334
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 6: access to the book The Rainbow Parade, a celebration of

335
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 6: lgbtqia plus identities and allies. Just this sort of book

336
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 6: you need to have in your library when all across

337
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 6: the country kids aren't reading at proficiency level.

338
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: This is what we're focused on.

339
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 6: The controversial book tells the story of a young girl

340
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 6: and her two mothers attending an LGBT parade and follows

341
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 6: a child who's exploring their quoting from the book here

342
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 6: gender identity. The book's lesson for kids is to break

343
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 6: down stereotypes and embrace diversity. The Rainbow Parade the book

344
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 6: the name of the book, includes depictions of a naked

345
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 6: person shown from behind, furries, a gay couple outfitted in leather, BDSM, bondage, domination,

346
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 6: sado masochism, attire. Students that were shown the book were

347
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 6: in grades one through five, meaning they're roughly ages five

348
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:36,479
Speaker 6: to eleven.

349
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 5: Lord showing sexualized material to little kids has had only

350
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 5: one other explanation through human history. You're grooming them for

351
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 5: sexual abuse.

352
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 6: So a whole bunch of outraged parents showed up good

353
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 6: and the superintendent, Tasha Potter, had to end the school

354
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 6: board meeting without hearing any more complaints or any voting,

355
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 6: because it got she said, it got too chaotic. I

356
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 6: think it was just they didn't like the politics of

357
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 6: the people that were there. I've been involved in this

358
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 6: sort of thing before. A lot of it is who

359
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 6: can mask the people. That's a lot of it. And

360
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 6: like I live in a college town, and college kids

361
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 6: don't have jobs and don't have to get up so

362
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 6: they can show up to these city council meetings. If

363
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 6: there's a big conversation happening on and happening and overwhelm

364
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 6: the tax paying parents who have to get up in

365
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 6: the morning and take their kids to school.

366
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 2: And then if it's not.

367
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 6: If the crowd isn't the right direction, you can call

368
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 6: it off. It's too chaotic, bring it back next Tuesday,

369
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 6: and maybe the parents don't show up and the activists do,

370
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 6: and then you know, that's the way it works a lot. Anyway,

371
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 6: this particular school board and meeting. We are here at

372
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 6: our board meeting, conducting our business, the superintendent said to

373
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 6: parents who were trying to get the word in edgewise,

374
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 6: who then booed loudly, it's our board meeting. Said one parent,

375
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 6: We pay you, another male parent shouted as the booze

376
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 6: rained down. The school officials called the meeting do a

377
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 6: close without officially here any public comments. They're just leaving

378
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 6: one parent filming the event set in disbelief. So it

379
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 6: never really got off the ground on that one, yep,

380
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 6: because they just hide. They didn't like the politics of

381
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 6: the people that showed up to the meeting. So they'll

382
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 6: they'll have their next meeting, maybe not announce it, but

383
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 6: this sort of thing happens too. Maybe announce it last minute,

384
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 6: or they'll get the word out to the people on

385
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 6: their side anyway that we're having a meeting today at four,

386
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 6: but not to the people that are going to be loud.

387
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 6: And you know, it's really frustrating if you've ever been

388
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 6: involved in this sort of thing.

389
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they know what they're doing.

390
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 5: They know they can't stand up to scrutiny, so they

391
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 5: find every way they can to eliminate scrutiny.

392
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 6: The opposite was happening in Wooster, mass where apparently their

393
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 6: city council loves the idea of being I think the

394
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 6: first trans sanctuary city in America, or the first of

395
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 6: its size, or the first of the East Coast or

396
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 6: something like that.

397
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 2: Something.

398
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 6: They're very proud of being a trans sanctuary city, and

399
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 6: they were digging a lot of the commentary from the

400
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 6: pro trans crowd that showed up. But we're just gonna

401
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 6: play a little montage here, and then in our One

402
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 6: More Thing podcast, we're going to play a really long

403
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 6: segment because it is so entertaining. I watched it last

404
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 6: night and I was like, we got to play this

405
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 6: whole thing in our podcast because it's just too dang good.

406
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 6: You can't believe there's that many people in a fairly

407
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 6: small town, in this community that would show up.

408
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 2: And speak their mind.

409
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 5: You have somebody, Well, yeah, I was gonna say, I

410
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 5: don't doubt for a second how entertaining it is.

411
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: I'll ruin it afterward.

412
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 6: Oh that's what I do. Okay, here we go.

413
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: I need the city to protect me because the federal

414
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: government won't.

415
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 2: And if you think you're afraid of Trump, you.

416
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: Should see how afraid of Trump I am. You better

417
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: prepare for trans people to make this a very unsafe space.

418
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 2: I don't want to be here. I'm sorry, am I

419
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 2: taking too long pleating for my life?

420
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 9: I speak as both the b and the t in

421
00:22:58,720 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 9: the LGBT.

422
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 10: I don't want to spend an hour applying glitter on

423
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 10: my face so that you will hear and see me.

424
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 11: Let us remember that the Nazis burned the books, that

425
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 11: the Nazis burned books on gender sciences first. Now the

426
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 11: administration has villainized and modinalized migrant workers, trans lg LGBT people.

427
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 9: I speak as someone who is always misgendered, like all

428
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 9: the time people refer to me as sir, when I

429
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 9: prefer to be referred to as man.

430
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 6: My name is Katie.

431
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 11: Right now, in our country, Trump is threatening the trans

432
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 11: and gender diverse community.

433
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: Noticing people here are trying to control the rights of others,

434
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 2: and that's not right. We should make westro sanctuary city

435
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 2: for trans people. Everybody deserves to feel safe, and everybody

436
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 2: needs to feel safe. Yeah.

437
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 6: The worst part being the little kid there standing with

438
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 6: his mom who was holding the script in front of

439
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 6: him so he could read that at the microphone, obviously

440
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 6: having not the slightest idea the context or what he

441
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 6: was talking about. By the way, the guy who say

442
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 6: who said I get misgendered every day and I prefer

443
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 6: to be called ma' I mean, is like not transitioning

444
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 6: yet apparently, or maybe he's not planning to, but he's

445
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 6: just a dude and dude clothes. It's like, how can

446
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 6: how can I be blamed for saying, sir, you're you're

447
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 6: a guy dressed as a guy, look like a guy.

448
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 2: What indication would I have?

449
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 6: Am I supposed to ask everybody I meet?

450
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah?

451
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 5: I would be more entertained by all of it were

452
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 5: this cult not in charge of America's schools to a

453
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 5: large extent, any universities. I mean, that level of crazy

454
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 5: is being taught to a lot of your children. Yet

455
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 5: this saw This a text string from Kaylee Wliver her

456
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 5: last name out of it. A few years ago, I

457
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 5: infiltrated a support group of parents of quote unquote trans children.

458
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 5: What I found they were mostly attention seeking women, eager

459
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 5: to use their children as pawns in their own personal

460
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 5: fight for relevance. As they say, a transgender child is

461
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 5: like a vegan cat. We all know who's making the decisions.

462
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 5: I feel zero guilt for exposing this child abuse.

463
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 6: Vegan cat, Oh my god, Oh my god, that's straight

464
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 6: out of portlandy and Fred Ormison my cat.

465
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, Well, and just to hit some of the

466
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 2: quotes from this message board.

467
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 6: I think it might have been in this that we'll

468
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 6: play in the podcast One More Thing podcast, the long Montage.

469
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 6: I think it was from this or I read it

470
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 6: somewhere different. Yes, anyway, some mama said both of my

471
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 6: kids are trans and I thought, okay, I'm okay, gotcha.

472
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 2: That's Cynthia Nixon clip. Guys.

473
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 5: If you could find that for the podcast, that would

474
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 5: be great. But this message board, uh, this is my child.

475
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 5: Mine is five. My child is five and a half,

476
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 5: but new at age three. Mine is five as well,

477
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 5: started started expressing her true self at just under two.

478
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 5: Today she is socially transitioned. And they all congratulate for

479
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 5: these two, three, four, five six year old children transitioning

480
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 5: and being so brave and you're so brave and I

481
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 5: love you so much or fully support blah blah blah,

482
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 5: it's so obvious.

483
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 2: What's happening? Good lord?

484
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, the person bellowing, I need to put glitter on

485
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 6: my face just to be seen. It takes me an

486
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 6: hour every day because born she now wants to be he,

487
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 6: and the only way he can get people to recognize

488
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 6: him is he is to put fake beard stuff on

489
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 6: his face and how much work that is? What am

490
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 6: I supposed to I don't know what I'm supposed to

491
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 6: do about that.

492
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 2: I had the treatment.

493
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 6: But all this driven by is a couple of people

494
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 6: referenced Trump becoming president, you got to be a trans

495
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 6: sanctuary city. Now with Trump's anti trans hate coming into office.

496
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 2: They're hurt.

497
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 5: Those two little girls pretending to be boys. They're terrified

498
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 5: that they'd be hunted down or something.

499
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll play the beginning that one person what they said,

500
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 6: played the beginning of that. Again.

501
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: I need the city to protect me because the federal

502
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: government won't. And if you think you're afraid of Trump,

503
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: you should see how afraid of Trump I am.

504
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 2: Right, that's been mislast.

505
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 5: So yeah, you've been miss and terrorized by activist elders and.

506
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 2: You think you're afraid of Trump.

507
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 6: It's like the group I was in over the weekend

508
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 6: I mentioned the other day where everybody kept talking everybody

509
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 6: else about it.

510
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 2: How are you holding up?

511
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 6: Are you doing Okay? You're staying strong like we all

512
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 6: just are terrified under Trump being pressent? Okay, whatever. I'm

513
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 6: holding up fine, By the way, until I have to

514
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 6: pay my taxes which are way too high, and then

515
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 6: I won't be holding up so well here in about

516
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 6: a month or so, open him.

517
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: And that's something social contation and a cult.

518
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 6: As I saw a number of people respond to the

519
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 6: really long video, I watched the montage of the people there.

520
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 6: How are there so many mentally ill people in one spot?

521
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 2: I think it has.

522
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 5: To do with the nature of social contagions, which I've

523
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 5: read about a fair enough to be dangerous, as they say,

524
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 5: but it's you know, the Salem witch trial is the

525
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 5: classic example of it. As that caught on and people

526
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 5: became more and more frantic, they actually thought they'd seen

527
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 5: these things, or they were just so desperate to be

528
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 5: part of the people who were getting all the attention

529
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 5: that they repeated, you know, the same lies. And you

530
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 5: know that there are all sorts of examples of it

531
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 5: through history of people convincing themselves of.

532
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 2: Just ridiculous, ridiculous things.

533
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 5: The moment it's over, everybody's like that was crazy, that

534
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 5: was really stupid. What was everybody thinking? But in the

535
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 5: midst of the contagion, people just get feverish. It's a

536
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 5: weird It's like it's a bug in the program of

537
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 5: humankind that we really ought to work out. Yeah, Elon

538
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 5: could get to work on that next. I find it

539
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 5: fascinating to watch. I couldn't I don't know how long

540
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 5: the thing was. I watched that we'll put in the podcast,

541
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 5: but I couldn't stop watching. It was just like another one.

542
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 5: Well there's another one there with this right whatever it

543
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 5: is thing.

544
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 6: Odd times you think you have any explanation for that

545
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 6: through what's going on social contagent like Joe says or whatever.

546
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 6: Text line four one five two nine five KFTC.

547
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 12: An extremely disturbing video circulated two months ago featuring a

548
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 12: Biden EPA political appointee talking about how they were tossing

549
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 12: gold bars off the Titanic, rushing to get billions of

550
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 12: your tax dollars out the door before inauguration Day. The

551
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 12: gold bars were tax dollars, and tossing them off the

552
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 12: Titanic meant the Biden administration knew they were wasting it. Fortunately,

553
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 12: my awesome team at EPA has found the.

554
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 2: Gold bars.

555
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 5: Debt, so Lee Zelden, who's now in charge of the EPA,

556
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 5: is clawing back billions of dollars that were illegally inappropriately

557
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 5: handed out in the last seconds of the Biden EPA.

558
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 2: In fact, what the heck?

559
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 5: I hadn't planned on it, but played the next clip, Michael,

560
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 5: if you'd be so kind.

561
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 12: Shockingly, roughly twenty billion of your tax dollars were parked

562
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 12: at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA. This

563
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 12: scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history,

564
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 12: and it was purposefully designed to obligate all of the

565
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 12: money in a rush job with reduced oversight. Even further,

566
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 12: this pot of twenty billion dollars was awarded to just

567
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 12: eight entities that were then responsible for doling out your

568
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 12: money to NGOs and others at their discretion with far

569
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 12: less transparency.

570
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 6: Somebody should be jailed for that.

571
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: I know we're executed.

572
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 5: The federal government is a giant honey laundering and redistributing fraud.

573
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just nakedly theft.

574
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 6: Who was I talking to the other day about this?

575
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 6: I've fantasized about this before. If I could live my

576
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 6: life over again, I don't think this would be as fun,

577
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 6: but it'd be kind of interesting if I had dedicated

578
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 6: myself to getting government money, figuring out where they're throwing

579
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 6: money around, whether it's for a dam or a bullet

580
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 6: train or a help the Homeless project or whatever, and

581
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 6: you know, starting a nonprofit and just all the things

582
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 6: you can do to get government money and made that

583
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 6: my life because I think a lot of people do

584
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 6: and they get really really wealthy, and you don't have

585
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 6: to accomplish much.

586
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 5: I think once you did the first one or two,

587
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 5: you'd probably get pretty good at it. Yeah, you could,

588
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 5: you know, adapt the scam really really quickly well, and certainly.

589
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 6: You get in with the crowd that also does it,

590
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 6: you become one of them. They'd be like, oh, yeah,

591
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 6: Jack who runs the non off it homeless for bullet

592
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 6: trains thing. Oh yeah, he's great, Send him some money.

593
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 5: And yeah, yeah, exactly, and he'll turn out the vote

594
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 5: if nothing else.

595
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

596
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 5: So we posited yesterday that political communication had gotten as

597
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 5: low as it could when they were just saying F Trump,

598
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 5: F Trump, these are Congress people. Then we had this humdinger,

599
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 5: which is one of my favorite clips of the decade,

600
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 5: perhaps sixty four, Michael Dlon's.

601
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 3: Broth take your musket millions and must Mosca writes to

00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 2: We're gonna speak up. We're gonna mart We.

604
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 4: Gotta do anything we need to do to make sure

00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 4: that the people of.

606
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 2: This country understand that the say is for them. You

00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 2: get some mustard hands, all the money I got a mouthtown.

608

Speaker 2: You must have moved the moon. You musty move o

00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 2: moo mooh okay.

610
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 5: And that was over trying not to toss gold bars

611
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 5: off the deck of the Titanic.

612
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 2: How dare he and is?

613
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 5: The conversation descends even further Clip thirty six. This is

614
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 5: Congressman Robert Garcia of cal Unicornia.

615
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 10: Carrowman Green literally showed a dick pic in our oversight

616
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 10: congressional hearing, so I thought I'd bring one as well. Now, this,

617
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 10: of course we know is President Elon Musk.

618
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 6: Oh boy, I get its clever.

619
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,719
Speaker 5: Then Mara Gay was a member of the New York

620
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 5: Times editorial board. I just clipped a little bit of this.

621
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 5: She's talking to Chuck Schumer about how he's gonna fight

622
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 5: like hell and beat Trump and stop this. Ess that's

623
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 5: what we're doing, She writes. It was a welcome sign

624
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 5: of life. For three weeks now, President Trump and the

625
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 5: world's richest man have ransacked from within a democracy that

626
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,400

Speaker 5: Marra Gay of The New York Times edits top President

629
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 5: Trump and the world's richest man of ransacked from within

630
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 5: a democracy that took two hundred and fifty years to build,

631
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 5: and then she mentions that the country faces the second

632
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 5: crisis and opposition party that doesn't seem to know how

633
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 5: to respond.

634
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,600

636
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 6: don't need to exist. That's not ransacking democracy or getting

637
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 6: far away from the founding vision.

641
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 6: believe in government in a way that I don't get.

643
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,799

00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:50,080
