Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
Speaker 1: and Jetty and now he arm Strong and Yetty. The
Speaker 1: Fox around random loveby Wenby was calling for the ALU.
Speaker 2: Right there, Fox gets the two on one with Anthony
Speaker 2: Edwards being the low man.
Speaker 1: He's above the logo Jerry west Man. If you've missed
Speaker 1: out on watching Wemby the French Kid for San Antonio playing,
Speaker 1: I saw the power rankings the other day. They had
Speaker 1: him as the third best player in the NBA's twenty
Speaker 1: two Wow. She's pretty young. He's gonna be around for
Speaker 1: a long time. He looks like he could break in half.
Speaker 1: I think that's why he elbowed that guy in the
Speaker 1: face the other day. He got kicked out of a
Speaker 1: game flagrant elbow. But I think it was one of
Speaker 1: those you ain't gonna push me around. Oh yeah, don't
Speaker 1: think I'm weak. Yeah, don't think I'm soft. I get
Speaker 1: that physical game. God it is. Yeah. AnyWho, that's from
Speaker 1: the NBA playoffs. I just saw a thing up on
Speaker 1: the King Charles was addressing parliament for some reason, and
Speaker 1: there might be a new election there and the Prime
Speaker 1: Minister might go anyway. King Charles was there at Buckingham Palace.
Speaker 1: I didn't know they did this. He was sitting on
Speaker 1: the throne, a throne, I suppose it the duath throne
Speaker 1: is sitting on the throne reading the newspaper. I did
Speaker 1: not colloquially like like it's a toilet, actual actual, like
Speaker 1: like like like in an old timey movie throne. Sure
Speaker 1: it looked exactly like it, like Henry the eighth And
Speaker 1: he's on this big, giant gold throne with plush red pillows,
Speaker 1: and he's got this giant cape around his shoulders. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and a big freaking crown on his head. How did
Speaker 1: they still do that? I don't I don't like the
Speaker 1: whole king thing at all. But you call him a
Speaker 1: king and he wears a suit and he you know,
Speaker 1: he speaks to Parliament now. But the actual sitting on
Speaker 1: a throne with a crown, how do you hang on
Speaker 1: to that? And the big fur cap that.
Speaker 3: I know, especially because I'm reading Tim Sanderfers Fabruary. Somebody
Speaker 3: get me a couple of units. Better get me a
Speaker 3: couple in case the first one gets fired out. What
Speaker 3: do you get it there, making me a new unit
Speaker 3: I wanted to sing. Later for me, I say, yeah,
Speaker 3: especially I'm reading Tim Sanderfer's wonderful book Proclaiming Liberty, and
Speaker 3: the early part of it has to do with the
Speaker 3: relationship of the colonies and the crown in parliament and
Speaker 3: how England, you know, went through a couple of kings
Speaker 3: and beheaded one and ran the other one out of town,
Speaker 3: and then there were big disputes about how much power
Speaker 3: they ought to have versus parliament, blah blah blah. So
Speaker 3: for the longest time, maybe forever, they've been like, what
Speaker 3: is a king anyway?
Speaker 1: What I mean, we.
Speaker 3: Gotta have one, right, everybody knows we got to have
Speaker 3: a king, but we don't know what he ought to
Speaker 3: be really or do, and so get rid of it.
Speaker 1: But Tim is on the show tomorrow be talking about
Speaker 1: his book, among other things.
Speaker 3: Oh, fantastic, excellent. I just thought that looks so ridiculous
Speaker 3: he got the crown on come on. Speaking of leadership,
Speaker 3: the Vegas state in the Union cal Unicornia trying to
Speaker 3: elect a new governor because the old one is termed
Speaker 3: out and wants to be the president even though he's
Speaker 3: a Potts and the Democratic Party in a one party
Speaker 3: state of hacks has turned out some pretty uninspiring choices,
Speaker 3: including the current front runner, Javier Bessera, who I'll tell
Speaker 3: you more about in a minute, but he utterly undistinguished
Speaker 3: his congressman. He's a handsome guy and he's reasonably well spoken,
Speaker 3: but did nothing as congressman. Inexplicably, he was a named
Speaker 3: state attorney gen did nothing but sue Trump and then
Speaker 3: became Health secretary in the Biden administration and was, according
Speaker 3: to Biden officials, a complete embarrassment.
Speaker 1: So why wouldn't he run for governor? We talked about
Speaker 1: that political piece from last week in which they are
Speaker 1: quoting all kinds of former Biden people saying, I mean
Speaker 1: they're laughing behind the scenes and slapping their forehead. This
Speaker 1: guy's going to be the governor of California. He doesn't
Speaker 1: know anything about anything. And the way you know this
Speaker 1: is true, and it didn't even occur to me until
Speaker 1: it was pointed out by Politico. He was the secretary
Speaker 1: of HHS during the biggest pandemic in a century, and
Speaker 1: he was a nothing. You have no memory, I have
Speaker 1: zero memory of him saying or doing anything. Ever. He
Speaker 1: was a non entity when his department with the biggest
Speaker 1: budget in America he had no role in the pandemic.
Speaker 1: That shows you what a nothing he is. And he
Speaker 1: might be governor, that's hilarious.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they described him as an embarrassment at briefings and
Speaker 3: that sort of thing. Kelly, he's the front runner. And
Speaker 3: we'll get to some great audio in a second or two.
Speaker 1: My phone. Oh yeah, sorry, Joe's got my phone.
Speaker 3: I was going through it making him take all the
Speaker 3: nudes of me out of there so better not be copies.
Speaker 1: So we're about to play this clip of Javier de
Speaker 1: Sarah sitting down for an interview. And I saw this
Speaker 1: online yesterday. And David Axelrod, who is the campaign manager
Speaker 1: for Barack Obama, so he knows a little something about
Speaker 1: running for office and politics and democratic politics. He said
Speaker 1: as HHS secretary during COVID, but Sorri rarely was the
Speaker 1: administration's point person in communicating the American public on the pandemic.
Speaker 1: This may be the reason why. Here's what it sounded
Speaker 1: like in the interview yesterday.
Speaker 3: So he interviewed with Annie Rose Ramos for KTLA five
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles, and this is going completely viral.
Speaker 1: It's ninety and ninety one. Let's go with ninety first.
Speaker 4: Michael, this is the start of our interview with Javier
Speaker 4: Bassetta in Highlight in Park.
Speaker 1: By the way, this is a profile piece. This is
Speaker 1: not a gotcha piece.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: Well, look, I think we're these questions are fair.
Speaker 4: It's in order to learn about you as a candidate.
Speaker 1: So why is about the profile.
Speaker 4: I don't know how you define profile, but I'd like
Speaker 4: to begin the.
Speaker 6: Interview the way I described profile is you talk about
Speaker 6: all the things that I've done, things I want to do,
Speaker 6: and along with some tough questions, but not only tough questions.
Speaker 3: Wow, so he's begging her for a softball interview while
Speaker 3: the camera's roll and he's getting killed for this.
Speaker 1: How weak is that?
Speaker 3: Even the New York Times as be Sarah rises in polls,
Speaker 3: he draws fire for trying to direct interview, and they
Speaker 3: saw pedal it in the New York Times.
Speaker 1: How humiliating. It was your point about it being a
Speaker 1: one party state. So everybody that rises to you know,
Speaker 1: a high level in California. You're in a one party state.
Speaker 1: You're never challenged by anybody with a compliant media. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so The same thing happened with Katie Order the
Speaker 1: whole you know, we're shit cut off that interview and
Speaker 1: got all angry and everything like that was basically the
Speaker 1: same thing, like why are you? Why are you asking
Speaker 1: me hard questions and treating me like a politician? Here?
Speaker 3: Do you not understand how this works? Yeah, you do
Speaker 3: a profile piece, i e.
Speaker 1: A puff piece about all my accomplishments, right, and don't
Speaker 1: say anything that's going to make me look bad. That's
Speaker 1: the way it's been my whole life. Why is it
Speaker 1: changing now? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Aside from and I swear this is true, it's not hyperbolic.
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to be persuasive or bomb chucky or
Speaker 3: anything like that. Aside from you know, just general some charisma.
Speaker 3: The only thing you need to gain high office in
Speaker 3: California is to check the boxes of acceptability to the
Speaker 3: big unions, the public employee unions and nurses unions, et cetera,
Speaker 3: the teachers' unions, god knows, and the trial attorneys, among others.
Speaker 3: And as long as you pledge that you will faithfully
Speaker 3: execute exactly what they tell you to do, you will
Speaker 3: be anointed, uh whatever the office happens to be. I mean,
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris is the proof beyond proof of that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but how could you rise to the level that this
Speaker 3: Javier Bessera is and like be completely he you haven't
Speaker 3: ever seen on television people running for big offices and
Speaker 3: doing interviews and having to answer questions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, have you never? You've never encountered that in your life.
Speaker 1: He comes off as a simple tea. It's like a child.
Speaker 1: This is a profile piece, right, You're just supposed to
Speaker 1: talk about my accomplishment.
Speaker 3: Well, a profile pieces when you talk about the things
Speaker 3: I want to do and what I've accomplished.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a professional reporters. Annie Ramos is thinking, I'll
Speaker 1: ask you what I want. Plus you the fact that
Speaker 1: you are unaware that the press might lead you, because
Speaker 1: Joe and I have run into this many times in Argurist.
Speaker 1: They are all friendly and like and that sort of
Speaker 1: stuff and try to get you to say stuff and
Speaker 1: and hurt you or or come up with something that's
Speaker 1: exciting that people will want to read or watch exactly.
Speaker 1: But how is he completely aware of that? Well, because
Speaker 1: of the reasons we just said, he's had nothing but
Speaker 1: puff pieces is whole light, right, But don't worry it
Speaker 1: gets worse.
Speaker 4: During your time as Anxious as Secretary, a New York
Speaker 4: Times investigation found the Health Department couldn't find some eighty
Speaker 4: five thousand children it had released.
Speaker 1: That's not accurate. What you just read is not accurate.
Speaker 5: First, that's what I'll say, because it was never the
Speaker 5: case that we could not find kids. You're essentially I
Speaker 5: don't know if you've got those talking points from Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: It's from a New York Times article.
Speaker 1: That's not what the New York Times article said.
Speaker 5: The New York Times said that individuals the children and
Speaker 5: their sponsors did not respond to cause they didn't say
Speaker 5: we couldn't find.
Speaker 4: Kids working overnight in slaughterhouses, replacing roofs, operating machineries and factories,
Speaker 4: children as young as fourteen years old.
Speaker 5: That part occurred after these children had left the care
Speaker 5: of Department Healthy UMIs services.
Speaker 4: Do you let these children go into those individual sponsors
Speaker 4: in their responsibility?
Speaker 5: Some of these kids, probably because they needed to earn
Speaker 5: some money, started working places that were very exploited.
Speaker 4: During your time as Anxious as Secretary. A New York
Speaker 4: Times investigation found the hell to part.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where it's started to repeat.
Speaker 3: So she was making the point, so you released them
Speaker 3: to their sponsors who put them to work in roofing
Speaker 3: and slaughterhouses. Well, yeah, during the giant open border. It's
Speaker 3: almost surreal looking back on it. We had a president
Speaker 3: an entire administration that threw the border wide open.
Speaker 1: Yeah, without the specifics of what he's talking about. In
Speaker 1: both of those clips, he talks like Frosty the Snowman. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is a profile piece, right, he have a magic hat.
Speaker 3: He is what they used to call back in the
Speaker 3: day when people used fancy words. A mediocrity is undistinguished
Speaker 3: in any way other than being handsome and an absolutely
Speaker 3: loyal lackey of the powers that be.
Speaker 1: In the state of California. Wow, and he was looking
Speaker 1: like he's going to be governor. But I wonder after
Speaker 1: this stuff went viral because there's a lot of Democrats
Speaker 1: fighting it out to be the other candidate other than
Speaker 1: Steve Hilton.
Speaker 3: Katie Porter is beside herself with Clee right now. She's
Speaker 3: put the boiling potatoes she's going to throw on somebody
Speaker 3: back on the back burner. She's thinking things are shaping
Speaker 3: up well for me. She went on the golp one
Speaker 3: she lost a bunch of weight.
Speaker 1: Good for her health, get out of my I think kitchen.
Speaker 1: I heard an NPR piece yesterday where they had a
Speaker 1: bunch of academics and experts on and why the jungle
Speaker 1: primary system is a terrible idea. That is what we
Speaker 1: do in California. In some states, were the top two
Speaker 1: vote getters coming up here in a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: run against each other for governor, even if they're both Republicans. Well,
Speaker 1: they put it that way so that they thought they'd
Speaker 1: never have a Republican running at all, that every cycle
Speaker 1: it'd be two Democrats running against each other. There's basically
Speaker 1: we're a one party state. Where are we going through
Speaker 1: this charad? It's the illusion to choice China. Why are
Speaker 1: we going through this charad of having a Republican run
Speaker 1: against a Democrat when we all know it's going to
Speaker 1: be a Democrat. He might as well have the two
Speaker 1: best Democrats debating it out, But then this time around
Speaker 1: it might be two Republicans. So they want to do
Speaker 1: away with it. It's unfair and leaving a bunch of
Speaker 1: people out of the conversation. And okay, almost like Vladimir
Speaker 1: Putin is the Secretary of State or something.
Speaker 3: So this Dan Schner, who's a longtime political analyst, teaches
Speaker 3: it to UC Berkeley, USC been following him for years.
Speaker 3: He says, candidate for governor California shouldn't just expect gotcha questions.
Speaker 3: They should welcome them and thrive on them. He added,
Speaker 3: given questions that have been raised on his ability to
Speaker 3: handle high profile pressure situations, this is not what he.
Speaker 1: Needs right now. Yeah, obvious he's a punk and he
Speaker 1: sounds like Frosty the Snowman. Without the substance of what
Speaker 1: he's talking about. I don't know what's going on here.
Speaker 1: That's that's what he sounds like. I know we're running late.
Speaker 1: Michael play ninety egan real quick.
Speaker 4: This is the start of our interview with Javir Brisetta
Speaker 4: in Highland Park.
Speaker 1: By the way, this is a profile piece. This is
Speaker 1: not a gotcha piece. Right Well, look, I think these
Speaker 1: questions are fair.
Speaker 4: It's in order to learn about you as a candidate.
Speaker 1: So why is about the profile.
Speaker 4: I don't know how you define profile, but I'd like
Speaker 4: to begin the.
Speaker 6: Interview the way I described profile is you talk about
Speaker 6: all the things that I've done, things I want.
Speaker 5: To do and along with some tough questions, but not
Speaker 5: only tough questions.
Speaker 1: By'm melting my corn cup pipe. This is a profile piece, right,
Speaker 1: What an embarrassing thing to say birthday more They No,
Speaker 1: I don't think we.
Speaker 5: Need any help with Iran well, one way or the other.
Speaker 2: Tonight, President Trump says he can handle Iran alone as
Speaker 2: he heads to China for a summit with President She
Speaker 2: in Beijing, noting though that China is the largest buyer
Speaker 2: of Iranian crude oil.
Speaker 5: We're gonna have a long talk about it. They get
Speaker 5: a lot of their oil from that area.
Speaker 1: We've had no problem, and he's been a friend of mine.
Speaker 5: He's been somebody that we get along with.
Speaker 2: And I think you're.
Speaker 1: Going to see that good things are gonna happen. I
Speaker 1: don't know how this isn't going to be more of
Speaker 1: a sticking point. They're the China's the number one purchaser
Speaker 1: of oil from Iran, and Trump has been kind of
Speaker 1: YadA YadA YadA ing the whole thing as he goes
Speaker 1: over there. I just can't believe how this isn't going
Speaker 1: to be like the only thing President She wants to
Speaker 1: talk about. Hey, what's the deal? Get that straight opened up?
Speaker 1: Trump's gonna say, hey, go buddies with Iran. You open
Speaker 1: it up, it's your oil. Yeah, we're fine. Interesting to
Speaker 1: see what happens there. You're talking yesterday a little bit
Speaker 1: about how Trump went on a spree of late night
Speaker 1: truth social posts the other night, like he often does. Yes,
Speaker 1: he had fifty five messages between between ten fourteen pm
Speaker 1: and one to twelve am. Not at all unhinged. I
Speaker 1: don't think he's unhinged. I just think it's do you
Speaker 1: think it's the way way he is at the end
Speaker 1: of a long day. He's just got a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of things rattling around in his head, and rather than
Speaker 1: keeping to himself, he blasts them out to people unhinged,
Speaker 1: including retweeting someone a cat turd who's a very popular
Speaker 1: Twitter guy, delightful moniker, Yeah, disgusting. Trump retweeted arrest Obama
Speaker 1: the trader, I mean, the sitting president. Tweeting out that
Speaker 1: a former president should be arrested. You would think would
Speaker 1: make the news, but it doesn't anymore, just because people
Speaker 1: just roll their eyes. So that's where we are. Yea.
Speaker 1: As they write in the Wall Street Journal, Left the
Speaker 1: sun went down two nights ago, another familiar ritual began
Speaker 1: late night social media posting, the president's truth Social account
Speaker 1: posting fifty five messages. It's not unusual to have that many.
Speaker 1: He has twelve point six million followers on truth Social,
Speaker 1: which is a way smaller number than he ever had
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Uh, because not as many people went over
Speaker 1: to truth Social. Monday was one of forty four similar
Speaker 1: spates of a dozen or more truth Social posts published
Speaker 1: between eight pm and six am since he returned to
Speaker 1: the White House. The record is one hundred and sixty times.
Speaker 1: Back on December first, he posted one hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: times no after eight o'clock at night.
Speaker 3: Many of them retweets or retruth sound but I mean
Speaker 3: that's extraordinary.
Speaker 1: And it means he's sitting there sifting through social media,
Speaker 1: which is full of crap.
Speaker 3: Retweet just crap, comment and retweet yeah, retweet now wild Yeah.
Speaker 3: Has Obama been jailed yet? I haven't been following this,
Speaker 3: he retweet Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi's former top staffer said
Speaker 3: Nancy Pelosi planned January sixth for two years.
Speaker 1: Lock her up. Trump retweeted that the other oh my god,
Speaker 1: not really him. Okay, we got more on the way.
Speaker 1: Interesting story about a public school. You're gonna want to
Speaker 1: hear Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 7: The therapy platform Rula announced yes today that is partnering
Speaker 7: with the Van Lewin to provide people with a free
Speaker 7: therapy session plus a scoop of ice cream. It's just
Speaker 7: their way of getting you accustomed to the idea of
Speaker 7: being manipulated by your therapist.
Speaker 1: Follow up on story we did before the commercials. Wall
Speaker 1: Street Journal had a piece on Trump's late night postings
Speaker 1: on truth Social and Hanton pointed out to me that
Speaker 1: the article, apparently I didn't read far enough down, included
Speaker 1: that Trump has a young woman that works for him
Speaker 1: that does a lot of the posting. But that doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense, because why would you hire somebody to post
Speaker 1: late at night and not all day long. The bursts
Speaker 1: of them being posted at night almost have to be him. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and he famously stays up late. He's alone in the room.
Speaker 1: You hired somebody to post stuff while you're up flipping
Speaker 1: through the channels. I don't know if I'm buying that.
Speaker 1: I think it allows you to. I mean, I'm sure
Speaker 1: he probably does have an employee of that, but I
Speaker 1: think it also allows you say, if something goes really wacky,
Speaker 1: I didn't post that, right, Yeah, And I've told that
Speaker 1: person under no circumstances ever again post that we should
Speaker 1: be arresting former presidents.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she brings him. I guess lots and lots of
Speaker 3: stuff that he could.
Speaker 1: You know, Rea, maybe that's maybe she's she cons through
Speaker 1: the stuff. Yeah, and then he posts them. I'll bet
Speaker 1: that's what's happening.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, not uncommon social media assistant.
Speaker 1: Anyway, if you have a kid in the San Francisco
Speaker 1: Public School District, they are about to learn the privilege
Speaker 1: wheel in one of their classes. In fact, it's mandated now.
Speaker 1: And there's a lawsuit involved about a year long ethnic
Speaker 1: studies course that was just permanently adopted by the San
Speaker 1: Francisco Unified School District. Oh my, there's a letter from
Speaker 1: the friends of Lowell Foundation. So. Lowell is a private
Speaker 1: school that's pretty famous in America in the Bay Area
Speaker 1: for being like the best of the best, smart kids
Speaker 1: in America. And there have been various efforts over the
Speaker 1: years to do away with the meritocracy part of it,
Speaker 1: like open it up to it's like.
Speaker 3: A magnet high school. It's a public Magnet High School.
Speaker 1: But there's been a lot of pressure to open it
Speaker 1: up to underprivilege this and people who can't score as
Speaker 1: high on that as opposed to just keep it. No,
Speaker 1: these are the smartest people in America. We want the
Speaker 1: smartest high school kids in America. Period. Yeah. Anyway, so
Speaker 1: they're suing the public school district for allowing this to happen,
Speaker 1: which I think is pretty interesting, and they I pointed
Speaker 1: out that this seven million dollar program has been adopted
Speaker 1: largely concealed from concerned parents. Let's read a little bit
Speaker 1: about what it is, the privilege wheel, which sorts students
Speaker 1: into an oppress or oppressed framework based on this wheel.
Speaker 1: This is what the wheel looks like. I'll read from
Speaker 1: the wheel, isn't that fantastic? Round to multicolored, looks like
Speaker 1: a wheel. Children are being sorted, labeled, and instructed according
Speaker 1: to race based ideological frameworks that no parent consented to
Speaker 1: and then no reasonable reading of the federal civil rights
Speaker 1: law permits. According to a civil rights attorney who is
Speaker 1: suing the San Francisco School District, and every ninth grader
Speaker 1: and it's.
Speaker 3: The entire school year class every day you have this
Speaker 3: class calling harm meat Dylan, calling har meat Dylan.
Speaker 1: But so the way the wheel works is right in
Speaker 1: the center of the wheel is the word power. And
Speaker 1: then if you go to the very outside, you have
Speaker 1: a bunch of different categories wealth, housing, body size, mental health, sexuality, ability,
Speaker 1: skin color, citizenship, gender, language, And as you get closer
Speaker 1: to the inside, it gets closer to power. Yes, and obviously, well,
Speaker 1: the closest to the power is if you are an
Speaker 1: English speaking rich kid, cisgender, man us citizen, white, able bodied, heterosexual, yes, neurotypical, robust, slim,
Speaker 1: and your parents own property l eight out of ten
Speaker 1: in bad Well, you're not slim, acusing, not terribly robust.
Speaker 1: You're the closest to power. And then you would they
Speaker 1: would put you in one group there in the classroom
Speaker 1: right and throw crap at you, call you terrible names,
Speaker 1: call you names, or just lecture you about how you
Speaker 1: You know, you were given all this power that you
Speaker 1: need to uh check and give back to the people
Speaker 1: that are on the way.
Speaker 3: Exactly that you will remain silent, You will shut up,
Speaker 3: these people will talk.
Speaker 1: The very outer ring is the poor, homeless, large body size,
Speaker 1: uh vulnerable, lesbian by pan a sexual significant disability, elementary education,
Speaker 1: dark skin color, undocumented, trans, non binary. That's different from
Speaker 1: the sexuality. The gender and sexuality are different categories they have.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not gonna lie that person is up
Speaker 1: against it. I'll agree with them that far. So you're homeless, poor, overweight,
Speaker 1: your pan sexual, trans, you don't speak the language legally exactly.
Speaker 3: You're right, it's got yeah, yeah, you got my sympathy there, brother.
Speaker 1: Neither. The thing is, though, the main thing about that
Speaker 1: is it's not the fault of the person closer to
Speaker 1: the middle of the wheel that you're all those things, and.
Speaker 3: The idea that because they are, they have no rights,
Speaker 3: they shouldn't have an opinion. They need to shut up
Speaker 3: and give away power. It's all about capture, capturing institutions,
Speaker 3: capturing power, taking it in the name of Marxism.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you keep your kid in a
Speaker 1: school where they're separating them into these groups, and you know,
Speaker 1: putting your kid in the bad group just because they were,
Speaker 1: you know, happen to be born straight and white, for instance,
Speaker 1: and in this country, how dare you be born in
Speaker 1: this country? You need to you needed to give away
Speaker 1: some of that power because you're you're being dinged for
Speaker 1: being born in the country, right, let alone the immutable
Speaker 1: characteristics of being straight, and I think being straight as mutable, uh,
Speaker 1: being straight and white. You're being dinged for being born
Speaker 1: in the country. How nuts is in the United States.
Speaker 3: That's fairly similar to the state mandated curriculum too San Francisco,
Speaker 3: of course, being San Francisco has taking it maybe a
Speaker 3: tad farther, but not much.
Speaker 1: The textbook's goal is to give students terms and tools
Speaker 1: they need to analyze the impacts of race and ethnicity
Speaker 1: and US history in the present day. No, it's not.
Speaker 1: It's a tool of capture. Yeah, yep. It's like my uh,
Speaker 1: I think I mentioned this last week. My son was
Speaker 1: so disappointed that they got to the Civil War in
Speaker 1: their history book and all it was. All they learned
Speaker 1: about is the way it impacted Native Americans. They didn't
Speaker 1: learn anything about the Civil War, nothing about Grant and
Speaker 1: Lee and appomatics and Gettysburg Address and none of that
Speaker 1: stuff that is straight out of like Portlandia. It's finality,
Speaker 1: I know, he said, he came home. He said, everything
Speaker 1: we learned history class ends up being about Native Americans everything. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 1: The railroad kind of finally connect the Intercontinental Railroad, the
Speaker 1: Golden Spike and everything like that. All you're going to
Speaker 1: learn about is how it displaced Indians. Yeah, not anything
Speaker 1: about transportation or first railroad in the world or whatever
Speaker 1: we're talking earlier about.
Speaker 3: How like cities and counties and all have like crazy
Speaker 3: exorbitant fines and fees if you get caught rolling a
Speaker 3: stop sign or something like that because you're on the
Speaker 3: wrong side of law, and therefore you don't get a
Speaker 3: say you need to shut up, Well, you should have
Speaker 3: followed the law. This stuff where it's exactly that same way.
Speaker 3: If they can convince you or all of your peers
Speaker 3: that you're on the wrong side of being a racist
Speaker 3: or a transphobe or an islamophobe, you think.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm not I'm really not.
Speaker 3: Just and it takes away any of your power is
Speaker 3: the wrong word, any of your status. You have been
Speaker 3: convicted of being an awful human being. Therefore you sit down,
Speaker 3: you shut up, and you give your power to them. Now,
Speaker 3: the fact that it's an invented charge like making a
Speaker 3: micro aggression, remember at or you know, being quote unquote
Speaker 3: transphobic because you don't want a dude whoop in your
Speaker 3: daughter's ass In high school sports. They get you on
Speaker 3: the wrong side of their fake moral laws and therefore
Speaker 3: can tell you to sit down and shut up because
Speaker 3: you're a bad person.
Speaker 1: That's how it works. Don't fall for it. By the way,
Speaker 1: I don't have the statistics handy of what the proficiency
Speaker 1: percentages are for reading and math the San Francisco Unified
Speaker 1: School District. I would guess it's pretty low, like everywhere
Speaker 1: else in the country. Nope, I don't think there's anywhere
Speaker 1: in the country where public schools are doing very well
Speaker 1: in that. So you've taken an hour out of the
Speaker 1: day to teach the wheel of I should be ashamed
Speaker 1: of myself right every day, but not reading in math.
Speaker 3: I was pleasantly surprised to see The New York Times
Speaker 3: with a big piece Today American education is in crisis.
Speaker 3: Almost everywhere in the country, students' academic performance is worse
Speaker 3: than their peers was a decade ago. According to scores,
Speaker 3: blah blah blah. The numbers are startling. They go through
Speaker 3: the reading scores, which are shocking. Masks scores are every
Speaker 3: bit as bad. Did they mention that we're spending more
Speaker 3: money than we ever have per people. No who did
Speaker 3: the other day they had a big article. Well, a
Speaker 3: couple of been writing about the fact that in New
Speaker 3: York City, the other end of the country, they're spending
Speaker 3: forty two thousand dollars per student per year pro student
Speaker 3: miserable and declining test scores. And they mentioned that drops
Speaker 3: are happening in rich districts as well as poor ones, urban,
Speaker 3: suburban and rural, crossing racial divides.
Speaker 1: Man, if you gathered ten parents or sets of parents
Speaker 1: together and said, here's four hundred and twenty thousand dollars
Speaker 1: to spend this year on educating these ten kids, you
Speaker 1: could do a good job.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, even a just downward because New York
Speaker 3: is inexpensive. Give me three hundred thousand dollars to educate
Speaker 3: those ten kids, please, Oh, you could give them an
Speaker 3: unbelievably rich education.
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of giving thing, no sandwich is almost here
Speaker 1: an update on right after this. Oh, thank god.
Speaker 3: Ask any dog owner who gets serious news from the
Speaker 3: VET if they wish they could have prevented it in advance.

Speaker 1: It's at the door out there. So during the krenschmercany
Speaker 1: you can go get your sandwich, assuming nobody has stolen
Speaker 1: it yet. But yeah, uh kind of fits in the
Speaker 1: fact that you're ordering a sandwich and we're keeping a
Speaker 1: track of it with this because I took a phone
Speaker 1: call yesterday. I needed to. It was a family emergency. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we got this text yesterday. I can't believe Jack would
Speaker 1: take a call while broadcasting Armstrong. You are a joke.
Speaker 1: How you have a job is beyond me. I wonder
Speaker 1: that myself. Oh, you angry little man. What do you
Speaker 1: find happiness? Someday? Your sandwich is here. We got more
Speaker 1: on the way. Stay here.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: I've been reading this story by Christopher Ruffo, who we've
Speaker 1: quoted many times over the years. We ever had him
Speaker 1: one there? Oh maybe once back in the day, but
Speaker 1: not enough. Anyway. The title of this story is watching
Speaker 1: porn on death Row and it's out of the California
Speaker 1: prison system. Under Gavin Newsom, state prisoners are turning taxpayer
Speaker 1: funded tablets into personal sex machines. And what's fantastic about
Speaker 1: this is a guy who wants to be president of
Speaker 1: the United States. Gavin Newsom sought to transform the massive
Speaker 1: prison system into a Nordic style rehabilitation program. Newsom has
Speaker 1: placed a moratorium on all executions, transferred condemned prisoners to
Speaker 1: facilities across the state, dismantled Sam Quintin's death row and
Speaker 1: turned the notorious President into a therapeutic center with art classrooms,
Speaker 1: a cafe, and podcast studios. Nice, because that's what rapists
Speaker 1: and murders need. Podcast studios. Yeah. Part of the transformation,
Speaker 1: the news and administration approved a one hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: nine million dollar contract that we all paid for its
Speaker 1: taxpayers in the state of California. What's that number again,
Speaker 1: One hundred and eighty nine million prow digital tablets to
Speaker 1: all the prisoners. Wait a minute, they already had tablets,
Speaker 1: By the way, I would be against this even if
Speaker 1: they didn't have them at all, but the fact that
Speaker 1: they already had him and needed the newest, coolest one,
Speaker 1: Are you freaking kidding me? And how did it cost that?
Speaker 1: Give me the state credit card, I'll go down to
Speaker 1: the Apple store. I don't give my kids the newest,
Speaker 1: coolest one. If that one you've got from several years
Speaker 1: ago still works, keep using it, yeah, until you grow
Speaker 1: up by your own anyway. The administration heralded the effort
Speaker 1: to replace the inmates old tablets, which were from twenty
Speaker 1: eighteen or wouldn't want prisoners to have committed crimes against
Speaker 1: society to have to use an old tablet, an old
Speaker 1: free tablet. Yeah, they gave taxpayer funded. They gave to
Speaker 1: all prisoners in twenty three is a step toward digital equity.
Speaker 1: These are all in quotes. These are actual terms used
Speaker 1: by Gavin Newsom. We want prisoners to achieve digital equity
Speaker 1: for the justice impacted individuals who could injustice impacted individuals.
Speaker 1: This is an Orwellian masterpiece. It really is. I'm the
Speaker 1: justice impacted individual. If you stole my car, hit me
Speaker 1: on the head, or whatever the hell right, I don't
Speaker 1: give a crap about their justice impact. They earned it anyway.
Speaker 1: Digital equity for justice impacted individuals who could in theory,
Speaker 1: this is hilarious, especially given the headline that they're using
Speaker 1: these things to look at porn. Of course they are.
Speaker 1: You're a dude locked in a cell all day long
Speaker 1: with Wi Fi and a tablet. What do you think
Speaker 1: you're well, I sell you what I would do that
Speaker 1: and scrabble porn and scrabble. What they were supposed to
Speaker 1: be doing, or what Gavin Newsom thought they would be doing,
Speaker 1: is using the devices to contact their families, consume educational
Speaker 1: content and learn new technology so that they could get
Speaker 1: a job when they got out. Of course, that's what
Speaker 1: they're going.
Speaker 3: To do, much like what was the program we talked
Speaker 3: about the other day that was many, many, many times
Speaker 3: more expensive than could possibly be justified. It's because whoever
Speaker 3: was the nonprofit that's the dye profit. Yeah, the diaper thing, exactly.
Speaker 3: Somebody got it in a normal US honk of cash
Speaker 3: to go down and buy tablets. You could have bought
Speaker 3: for a fraction.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's true. That's all I raft. I don't
Speaker 1: think we ought to be giving them tablets anyway. I
Speaker 1: don't care about their digital equity. Though the state has
Speaker 1: claimed to regulate explicit content content, the inmates told us
Speaker 1: at the City Journal that users can easily evade detection.
Speaker 1: Of course they can. So the official word from the
Speaker 1: prison and from the state is they're not allowed to
Speaker 1: look at porn, and they aren't because we got this
Speaker 1: they interviewed all these different inmates to say, hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: we look at porn. All that's what we need. Inmates
Speaker 1: told us a different story. For some, the devices have
Speaker 1: become personal sex machines, and the words of one inmate
Speaker 1: California's death throw is populated with desperate, horny criminals who
Speaker 1: see the tablets as a way to satisfy their basis,
Speaker 1: fantasies and desires, all thanks to the California taxpayer, thanks.
Speaker 6: For taking the money.
Speaker 1: They even interviewed this guy named Robert Maury, who you
Speaker 1: if you've been in California your whole life might remember,
Speaker 1: is before our time here in the nineteen eighties. He was.
Speaker 1: He's a serial rapist, murderer, nicknamed the tipster killer because
Speaker 1: we don't actually murder or murder, we don't actually execute
Speaker 1: anybody on death row. He's still alive, of course. They
Speaker 1: interviewed him, and he's a horrifying person. Killed a woman
Speaker 1: by strangling or with a clothesline, strangled and killed two
Speaker 1: other women. Rape, blah blah blah, all this different sort
Speaker 1: of stuff. He's living in a state prison facility in Stockton, California,
Speaker 1: where he says he has viewed pornography and his taxpayer
Speaker 1: funded digital tablet all day long. In an interview, he
Speaker 1: told his inmates can receive nude pictures watch pornography through
Speaker 1: their devices. In his case, he claimed to receive topless
Speaker 1: photos from a twenty two year old psychology student who
Speaker 1: is hoping I would share my story with her for
Speaker 1: a class project. He said he flirted with her. Fair
Speaker 1: See got a guy who strangled and murdered women for
Speaker 1: years gets thrown in prison, and you give him a
Speaker 1: tablet paid for and the WiFi is being paid for
Speaker 1: us by two obviously. Sure, yeah, look at porn all
Speaker 1: day long? What the hell kind of world do we
Speaker 1: live in? Why?
Speaker 3: There have been a handful of high profile cases. We
Speaker 3: haven't gotten to them because we don't want to, you know,
Speaker 3: be all horror all the time. But a couple of
Speaker 3: high profile cases lately where guys have been turned loose
Speaker 3: by the woke justice system of one blue state or
Speaker 3: another then committed an even more horrendous act. Oh, the
Speaker 3: one with the famous quote, Oh where is it?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: Where is it? Oh?
Speaker 3: I don't want to put another black man in jail.
Speaker 3: This woman who was violently accosted by a guy but
Speaker 3: was woke and thought no, I shouldn't, and then he
Speaker 3: did something truly horrific to somebody else.
Speaker 1: Now she's thinking on her own, maybe I should have
Speaker 1: called the cops or press charges back to the prisoners
Speaker 1: and the tablets. The potential for abuse is obvious. The
Speaker 1: Newsome administration has made the tablet program universal with no
Speaker 1: access restrictions based on a fence, so no matter what
Speaker 1: your affect was, you still get the tablet. Inmates, including
Speaker 1: child predators, can communicate with members of the public through
Speaker 1: their tablets with no age restrictions, and they just send
Speaker 1: videos to kids or try to get to kids or
Speaker 1: whatever through their tablets. It's madness. It is absolute insanity.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say.
Speaker 3: I don't either. How do you come to that worldview?
Speaker 3: People leave California because of the high housing costs.
Speaker 1: M that's part of it. If you miss a segment,
