<v Speaker 4>Welcome to a replay of the Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.600
<v Speaker 3>We Are Armed. Boy? Did we have some good stuff

0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:37.000
<v Speaker 3>for so?

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:39.839
<v Speaker 5>Speaking of this behavior, right, the Gaines has been an

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 5>absolutely courageous spokesperson for women's sports, women's private places, and

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 5>women's rights in general, and on college campuses where undergrads

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 5>are majority women.

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 3>The reception she's gotten has been absolutely horrific.

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 6>I have been in several environments, especially on these hotbeds,

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 6>these college campuses, where I have been spit on, of course,

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 6>I mean the most profane, o've scene heinous things yelled

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 6>at me, drinks port on me, glass bottles thrown at me.

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.080
<v Speaker 6>There was an incident in San Francisco where I was

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 6>literally held hostage for five hours. Were protesters, the mob,

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 6>the angry, violent mob on the outside demanded that I

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 6>had to pay them money if I wanted to make

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 6>it back home to my family safely, all while university officials,

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:30.919
<v Speaker 6>the Dean of students, the vice president of student affairs

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:35.320
<v Speaker 6>at the university. They applauded the students for their brave behavior,

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 6>saying that people like me, with our dissenting viewpoints, we

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.920
<v Speaker 6>were the ones who were basically asking for this.

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the whole transgender cult thing. How else to describe

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 3>of you so adamant and fevered that you would behave

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 3>like that when a young woman was trying to protect

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 3>women's sports and women's private areas like locker rooms and

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 3>bathrooms and stuff. I mean, you are nuts.

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.519
<v Speaker 4>You don't mean a private area like her, Yahoo, good lord,

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 4>I mean the space she's in.

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 3>You're an idiot, and I will not dignify that. Speaking

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.399
<v Speaker 3>of people standing up for women's rights, this is such

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 3>an interesting little episode in the history of that. Tishheimen

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 3>is the name of the black lady. You may have

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 3>seen her who was aghast when she was bare naked

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:31.920
<v Speaker 3>at the Gold Gym in Los Angeles and turned and

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 3>there was a full grown man looking at her, and

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 3>she told aforementioned fella to get the hell out. He said,

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.959
<v Speaker 3>he said, I'm a woman, I get to be in here,

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 3>and started screaming at her that she was a bigot

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 3>and misgendering him. And the rest of it, we played

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 3>you that well. Tish, to her credit, traveled north to

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:57.360
<v Speaker 3>the San Francisco Bay area and attended a town hall

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 3>meeting being held by none other than the world's eating pervert,

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 3>Scott Wiener, who hopes to hold Nancy Pelosi's congressional seat soon.

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 3>And she Tish was asking Scott about protecting women, and

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 3>it took some really interesting turns. We'll start with seventy

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 3>mine as.

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 7>A lesbian woman who was attacked in a woman's locker

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 7>room at Goldshin this week by self identifying trends with

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 7>the documented history of domestic violence. I'm deeply concerned about

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 7>women's safety and female only spaces. What would you say

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 7>to women who are seeking assurance that their safety will

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:39.640
<v Speaker 7>be protected from men who, by California law and self

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 7>idea as women and women only space To sir, please tell.

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 8>Me, yeah, so we want, I mean everyone to be safe.

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 8>And we also know that you know, we have transitople

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:58.160
<v Speaker 8>book men and women to our men and women, and

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 8>so you know, so you trans women.

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 3>Wow, what a floundering, fumbling, bumbling effort to translate the

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 3>academia talk Scott Wiener's memorized into like real world language.

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 3>You just couldn't do it. No.

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 4>Well, often when you're saying stuff you don't actually believe,

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 4>it's difficult to form your sentences and thought.

0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:27.600
<v Speaker 3>I think he does believe that though. I mean he's

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 3>in favor of everything from man boy love to yeah please.

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 3>He says birthing persons. He's just said birthing persons ten

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 3>years ago. He's an activist in this. Anyway, it keeps

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:40.599
<v Speaker 3>going and it keeps getting weirder.

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 7>And we want to know, are you going to protect women?

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 7>Not translemen women?

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.159
<v Speaker 3>Women? Trans women are lemon lemen.

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 7>Listen, we need to protect.

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 3>I was assault No, they are not. I was assaulted.

0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 3>He broke my saw, so pressed you need.

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 7>I'm a lesbian. I'm not sure I saw me and

0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 7>I'm black. So if there's another black woman you here,

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.280
<v Speaker 7>I want to tell me how they feel, please join in.

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:10.279
<v Speaker 7>But all of you are not and I don't know

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 7>who you are what you are, But I'm a lesbian

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 7>and I'm telling you right now men are harassing women

0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 7>in the locker room.

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 3>The question.

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.280
<v Speaker 4>That's where it turns super interesting in terms of the

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.039
<v Speaker 4>left eating their own because then she gets into the

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:27.440
<v Speaker 4>wait a second nobody can criticize me. I'm black, I'm

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 4>a woman, and I'm gay. Those three things leave me

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 4>in a situation where you can't possibly disagree with me.

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:38.840
<v Speaker 4>And then comes along trans and apparently trans trumps all

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:39.680
<v Speaker 4>of those other things.

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, sorry, black lesbian ladies. I wish we could help

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 3>you here, but you're getting back a line place. Yeah. Yeah,

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.839
<v Speaker 3>and I loved and listen, I'm not on her side

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:54.720
<v Speaker 3>of the intersectional totem pole battle thing, but I love

0:05:54.839 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 3>the dynamic of white men trans cultists saying trans women

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 3>are women, trans women are women, trans women are women.

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 4>Right, so you got you have adult white males who

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 4>all of a sudden end up in the in the

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 4>right using my finger quotes right position, correct position. Yeah

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:21.359
<v Speaker 4>for the woke left over a black female gay person

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 4>because we've crossed into the trans conversation. Right, Sorry, sorry,

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 4>it's complicated. You need a float chart.

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 3>Right. And then she of course knows those are the

0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.159
<v Speaker 3>cards to play on the left, so she tries to

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 3>play that because they're not always worked for her her

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 3>whole life, I'm sure, right. Then a full grown dude

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 3>shows up in the locker room. She yells out of

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 3>panic and shock, when he's looking at her bare ass naked,

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 3>and then she becomes the bad person who has kicked

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 3>out a gold's gym, and now she feels, oh, shoot,

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 3>this whole hierarchy of victims thing.

0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.120
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes it gets a little weird. Yeah, I don't, I don't.

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 4>I'm on her side in this conversation, and I don't

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.520
<v Speaker 4>know her. Maybe she hasn't been playing this card her

0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 4>whole life, although she pulled it there pretty quickly. But

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 4>there are plenty of people who do play that card,

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 4>and it works, whether you know the bus didn't pick

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 4>you up, or you got a bad grade in school,

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.240
<v Speaker 4>or they want you to pay your rent on time.

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 3>Or whatever the hell it is.

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 4>It's always worked until you run into some white guys

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:23.840
<v Speaker 4>who are on the other side of.

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 3>Trans right, right, I remember, And it works in the

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 3>other way too, that you can discount, dismiss insult to

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 3>anyone by pointing out that they happen to be a

0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 3>white person. I had that card first played on me

0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 3>like twenty years ago. I was like, wait, what, but yeah,

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 3>it's popular anyway. The meeting already Jazzy rolled on.

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:58.560
<v Speaker 8>You were I appreciate you talking about it, and.

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 3>Obvious that.

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 8>I have also know that women are also rutalizing in

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 8>this country. So women and women rutalizing the country, and

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 8>we have them.

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:16.119
<v Speaker 3>We have the women.

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.640
<v Speaker 7>We cannot be raped in the battles by men that

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 7>want to say they're women.

0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 6>They're not women.

0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 3>They're not way.

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:21.840
<v Speaker 9>I'm leaving.

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 7>It's okay, but I'm not going to leaving because you

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 7>know what, you guys are not protecting women. You're doing

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 7>a lot the bills that you're passing.

0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:30.120
<v Speaker 3>For the law, I've read a lot of them.

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.240
<v Speaker 7>They're great, but these things with the trans it's not right.

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:34.240
<v Speaker 10>Thank you very much.

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:39.080
<v Speaker 3>You're wrong. So the key phrase there is women and

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:46.320
<v Speaker 3>sis women need protection. So sorry, born with ovaries, et cetera. People,

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:51.640
<v Speaker 3>you're in second place. Women, real women and cis women

0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.479
<v Speaker 3>need to be protected. In Scott Wainer's world.

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the only woman term that doesn't have a qualifier

0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:04.959
<v Speaker 4>attached is to say the exactly, Katie, you're smoldering.

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm at a loss for words, you know.

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 11>I know, and as a woman who is pregnant and

0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 11>my body is doing all sorts of things, this is

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 11>even more infuriating because they.

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 3>Have more I can totally relate, totally relate because I

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 3>identify as a woman. Yeah, yeah, you are a kids.

0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.880
<v Speaker 3>My effing teeth in for saying that. Right, I'm glad

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:25.959
<v Speaker 3>you're too far away.

0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.079
<v Speaker 4>And she just needed one more thing, was your uncle

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:31.840
<v Speaker 4>of Cherokee? Do you have anything?

0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 3>What do you got? Let's think, let's brainstorm here, the

0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.839
<v Speaker 3>both all for your limbs work? Okay, no, let me think,

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:43.400
<v Speaker 3>let me think your eyesight? Okay? No, all right? She

0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.200
<v Speaker 3>had one more shot as she walked out the door.

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:47.679
<v Speaker 3>You heard, all right.

0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.320
<v Speaker 7>Don't let them use our blackness and our civil rights

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 7>as a reason of past me and dolls the children

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 7>to transformed. It's wrong.

0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.560
<v Speaker 3>My sister is in jail. She can't get free temples,

0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 3>or she.

0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.559
<v Speaker 7>Could get free transformation of medication, big format.

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:09.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Scott, well that was a pretty good one. Would

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 3>she say her sister's in prison.

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.680
<v Speaker 4>Whoever's in prison, can't get tampons, but you could get

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 4>free transition surgery or medics science medication exactly.

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well made a pretty good point that don't let

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.439
<v Speaker 3>our blackness, don't let them use our blackness to pass

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.880
<v Speaker 3>weird laws. Because the far far radical left in the

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 3>neo Marxists, they use the verbiage and the irrationale of

0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.320
<v Speaker 3>the civil rights movement to make it seem like a

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 3>dude who says now, I'm a girl is the same

0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.880
<v Speaker 3>as you know, emmtt Till or some somebody who just

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:47.080
<v Speaker 3>wanted to vote in the South or attend to public university.

0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.280
<v Speaker 3>It's it's obscene we left out at this Scott Wiener

0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.440
<v Speaker 3>person because you don't know him all around the country

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.120
<v Speaker 3>like we do in the Bay. He's a Bay Area

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 3>legend in government and doing all kinds of crazy stuff

0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 3>in the city and then getting into state governmental sort

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 3>of stuff. He wants to take Nancy Pelosi's seat. He's

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.080
<v Speaker 3>gonna run for Nancy Pelosi's seat. He could be the

0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:10.080
<v Speaker 3>face of progressivism in the House of Representatives.

0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 4>I almost hope he wins. It's going to be so crazy,

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 4>but I know I don't actually want his point of

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:18.840
<v Speaker 4>view to be spread.

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:23.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, he's pro everything that's perverse, including you know,

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.320
<v Speaker 3>man boy love and that sort of thing, even if

0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:29.880
<v Speaker 3>he kind of hints at it. But uh, yeah, I don't.

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:31.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to decide right now if it'd be better

0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 3>or worse to have him in Congress. I would like

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 3>the I don't know people are so easily talked off

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 3>of their beliefs in ways that shocked me, like during COVID.

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.320
<v Speaker 4>And you gotta be careful with this whole, you know, Mom.

0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.079
<v Speaker 4>Dami wins, that'll be good for us. Scott Wheeder wins,

0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:48.920
<v Speaker 4>it'll be good for us. Pretty soon, there's gonna be

0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people in positions of power with horrifying ideas.

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.520
<v Speaker 3>And a lot of the sheeple and or young people

0:11:55.640 --> 0:12:00.160
<v Speaker 3>who are easily sold on a lot of this garbage.

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 3>I just feel bad that lady lost the intersectional contest.

0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:08.040
<v Speaker 3>She walked in there feeling great.

0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.360
<v Speaker 4>Who's gonna say something to a gay black woman?

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 3>I am bulletproof. Sorry, I'm trans. Oh no, the superpower

0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 3>my kryptonite. Damn it. Armstrong and Jack.

<v Speaker 3>the podcast. Subscribe right now.

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:52.839
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong, The Armstrong and Getdy Show.

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 3>So we prob to break.

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:07.160
<v Speaker 4>Joe will mention this country song that's on the top

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 4>of some chart and it's AI and so we both

0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.319
<v Speaker 4>took a listen to it. We can't play it because

0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 4>it'd be a violation of something. But so before I

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.120
<v Speaker 4>tell you what I thought of this AI song that's

0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 4>at the top of the charts. Is it all Ai?

0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:23.440
<v Speaker 4>Is that what you're saying? It's entirely AI song?

0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 3>I believe so. Yeah.

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:27.960
<v Speaker 4>So the dude on the cover is a made up picture.

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:31.719
<v Speaker 4>The voice is Ai, the instruments, the writing, all of

0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:32.080
<v Speaker 4>it is that.

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't know if the there's probably somebody who

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:39.720
<v Speaker 3>wrote the lyrics just but maybe not. I don't know.

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:44.079
<v Speaker 3>Having listened to it. That is highly troubling. Yeah, it

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.640
<v Speaker 3>second me, that is way too good.

0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:51.080
<v Speaker 4>That is why why would anybody try at this point, Well,

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 4>why would anybody try to become famous and make money

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.320
<v Speaker 4>at it? If you want to make music, I do

0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.680
<v Speaker 4>it every day. I at home. I played the piano

0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:00.679
<v Speaker 4>in my bedroom, in my underwear. I do that all

0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:04.080
<v Speaker 4>the time. But it left that last part out. Hey,

0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.000
<v Speaker 4>I isn't going to replace that. But any I'm going

0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:08.840
<v Speaker 4>to make it onto the charts. I don't know if

0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:10.160
<v Speaker 4>there's any point in that anymore.

0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm I'm already very very cynical about pop music.

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.320
<v Speaker 3>And it occurred to me that a lot of us

0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.400
<v Speaker 3>of a certain age we had the unbelievable experience that

0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 3>we took for granted that pop music, which was entirely

0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 3>a commodity. I mean, anybody who was actually a creative

0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.840
<v Speaker 3>artist was exploited and thrown away by the money guys.

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 3>It was just again a corporate commodity. And then there

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.080
<v Speaker 3>was a brief and wonderful period of I don't know,

0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:43.400
<v Speaker 3>ten to twenty five years where the art was dominated

0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:47.160
<v Speaker 3>by actual creative artists, at least to a significant extent.

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.240
<v Speaker 3>It still was corporate, but there was a hell of

0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.760
<v Speaker 3>a lot of creativity. Now and I'm not saying there's

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:57.000
<v Speaker 3>no creativity left, but pop music is so corporate, there's

0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 3>so much money to be made, the formulaic they might

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 3>as well be AI. Song factories are so efficient, the

0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 3>underwear models lip syncing to the music are so good looking.

0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.520
<v Speaker 3>In the rest of it, it's easy to be very,

0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.560
<v Speaker 3>very cynical about it. Having said that, the lyrics of

0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:19.400
<v Speaker 3>this song in particular are a person who has had

0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:24.040
<v Speaker 3>some very painful times in their life pouring out their soul.

0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.040
<v Speaker 3>And the fact that that is cranked out by a

0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 3>computer because they know you like that sort of thing

0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:33.480
<v Speaker 3>makes me want to vomit. That's a good point, the

0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 3>fact that.

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:40.120
<v Speaker 4>A chat bot picks up Oh okay, people have angst

0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:41.840
<v Speaker 4>and pain and that sort of thing.

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:42.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh right about that?

0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, when it comes from somebody who's had that same

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 4>feeling and we have that, we have that in common

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 4>as a human being.

0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:51.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh you felt that. I'm feeling that right now. Thanks

0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.640
<v Speaker 3>for writing about it. When it turns out it's a

0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 3>computer completely you know. Yeah. One of my favorite songs

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:02.280
<v Speaker 3>by one of my favorite bands. The writer and singer

0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:05.640
<v Speaker 3>happens to be a gal. He's talking about, you know,

0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.960
<v Speaker 3>being you know, self destructive in love and drinking way

0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 3>too much. And the line is maybe I'll find my

0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.040
<v Speaker 3>maker on the bedroom floor, which is a hell of

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:17.280
<v Speaker 3>a line. Maybe I'll meet my maker. I think it

0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:21.320
<v Speaker 3>is anyway to hear that. Somebody just cranked that out

0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:24.360
<v Speaker 3>because the computer algorithm said that would that would be compelling.

0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:28.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, justugh. My skin is crawling, my guts

0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 3>are churning. Maybe I ate something bad for dinner last night.

0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, that's that's awful. It's not good, it's not funny,

0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:36.000
<v Speaker 3>it's not amusing.

0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:39.720
<v Speaker 4>So Google hired some AI guru to come over. They

0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:44.840
<v Speaker 4>spent two point seven billion dollars to buy character dot Ai,

0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 4>and then this guy had a whole bunch of posts

0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 4>about how he doesn't believe the whole trans thing is real,

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.320
<v Speaker 4>and so Google tried to shut him down, having just

0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:57.960
<v Speaker 4>spent three billion dollars on his company, and that became

0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.440
<v Speaker 4>and so they got a they got a a woke

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.640
<v Speaker 4>problem within the googly eye stuff. So that would be

0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:04.920
<v Speaker 4>something China is not worried about. That, I guarantee of

0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 4>China's attempt to be the dominant AI force on Earth

0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.680
<v Speaker 4>is not worried about the politics of the individual employees.

0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:15.920
<v Speaker 3>Right The Armstrong and Getty Show, Armstrong and Jack and

0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.560
<v Speaker 4>On the floor we are occupying here at the radio station,

0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:03.960
<v Speaker 4>the stall where people do their you know, your main business.

0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:06.879
<v Speaker 4>There's been no soap in there for like a month.

0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh it's longer than that to wash your hands, and

0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:18.439
<v Speaker 4>that ain't cool. So Hanson and I were just discussing it.

0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:20.440
<v Speaker 4>Maybe we should bring bars of soap and set him

0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:22.520
<v Speaker 4>on the counter kind of a hint, like we've started

0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:24.760
<v Speaker 4>to bring our own bar from home. For some reason,

0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:27.960
<v Speaker 4>he suggested lava. Do you remember lava soap? It was

0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.000
<v Speaker 4>gray and it had the grit in it to like,

0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 4>oh yeah, do they still make that? I think bars

0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:35.600
<v Speaker 4>a lava soap would be perfect.

0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:40.440
<v Speaker 3>One of my friend's dad was an actual auto mechanic,

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:42.160
<v Speaker 3>and he did a lot of work in his own garage.

0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.240
<v Speaker 3>I think that's where I ran it. A lava soap.

0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:45.399
<v Speaker 3>It was good for that sort of thing.

0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:46.639
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if it was so good for like

0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:49.359
<v Speaker 4>a ten year old to scrub their body in the shower.

0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:52.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, we're a lot of bleeding from the hands, fulliating,

0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.920
<v Speaker 3>exfoliating exactly, So a lot of great stuff to squeeze

0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:01.520
<v Speaker 3>in this hour. But first, from the the information mind

0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.880
<v Speaker 3>of Joe Getty that brought you. I do occasionally refer

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:08.000
<v Speaker 3>to myself in the third person, that brought you a

0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:10.399
<v Speaker 3>look in the China cabinet. And what was one of

0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:14.960
<v Speaker 3>the other ones, Michael, I can't remember if there was

0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.120
<v Speaker 3>another one. Now there have been other ones. Well, it's

0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:27.760
<v Speaker 3>time for the euro Bureau. Yeah, we're still working on

0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:32.600
<v Speaker 3>the introduction for the euro Bureau and that was low rent.

0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:38.280
<v Speaker 3>How are you kidding? That was free sign on the

0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:42.160
<v Speaker 3>side of the road. I was limited on supplies. Okay, yes,

0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:45.879
<v Speaker 3>send time. So a couple of really interesting stories from Europe,

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:47.359
<v Speaker 3>and I tell you what, and a lot of you

0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:51.720
<v Speaker 3>agree with this. I feel like watching my beloved Republic

0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:56.720
<v Speaker 3>in our various challenges and increasing socialism and debt and

0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:59.200
<v Speaker 3>the rest of it. It's a slow motion car crash.

0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:02.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean, the the end of this is so incredibly predictable.

0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:07.119
<v Speaker 3>We become France. It's the Francification of the United States.

0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:09.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh oh damn it that reminds me. I'm so pleased

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:12.640
<v Speaker 3>with this. I can't stand it. The new T shirt

0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:18.159
<v Speaker 3>at the Armstrong and Getty superstore is simply on a

0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:20.800
<v Speaker 3>lovely dark blue background, although you could probably get it

0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:25.440
<v Speaker 3>in all sorts of colors. Ruin the Entire Country Newsome,

0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty eight. I like it looks great. Cal Unicornians

0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:34.119
<v Speaker 3>and those who sympathize with cal Unicoreans Carolcordians ruin the

0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:38.560
<v Speaker 3>entire Country, Newsome, twenty twenty eight. Anyway, so we all

0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:40.600
<v Speaker 3>heard about the breaking at the Louver right We're going

0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:44.280
<v Speaker 3>to start in France and the euro Bureau. We all

0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:46.680
<v Speaker 3>heard about that, right in the Crown Jewels and all

0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.080
<v Speaker 3>sorts of stuff. Much less reported here on the other

0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:53.879
<v Speaker 3>side of the Atlantic is the fact that that was

0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 3>one of nine major robberies of museums over the past

0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:04.640
<v Speaker 3>year in France. Didn't know that nine six French museums

0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:07.359
<v Speaker 3>have been hit since the beginning of September alone, one

0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:09.840
<v Speaker 3>of them twice. And they name a bunch of museums

0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:12.640
<v Speaker 3>I've never heard of, but are important, I guess, including

0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:16.160
<v Speaker 3>the stately Museum of Natural History. Few of the stolen works,

0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:19.960
<v Speaker 3>including precious porcelain and gold crosses and statues, have been recovered.

0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:23.240
<v Speaker 3>As the robberies pile up, French officials are waking up

0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:27.280
<v Speaker 3>to an unsettling reality. France is a wash in cultural treasures,

0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:30.320
<v Speaker 3>but has minimal resources to protect them from thieves.

0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:32.720
<v Speaker 4>Well, I was going to say, after the fourth or

0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:35.160
<v Speaker 4>fifth museums hit, I would have thought somebody said, hey,

0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:36.320
<v Speaker 4>is the Loop protected?

0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:40.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's like our most famous museum. Successive governments

0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:44.080
<v Speaker 3>have collapsed over efforts to rein in the country's budget deficit,

0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:47.160
<v Speaker 3>leaving the state too cash strap to invest in meaningful

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:50.680
<v Speaker 3>security upgrades for the more than twelve hundred sites classified

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:56.119
<v Speaker 3>by the government as museums. And Macrone's administration is scrambling

0:21:56.160 --> 0:21:58.719
<v Speaker 3>to take a census of the country's most valuable artwork

0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:02.959
<v Speaker 3>to nowhere to put their few pennies. But you've got

0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:06.080
<v Speaker 3>a rising criminal class and absolutely no budget, no will

0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:10.919
<v Speaker 3>to protect the country. It's just sad. Then you have

0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:15.840
<v Speaker 3>this from the Wall Street Journal. Britain is preparing tens

0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:20.440
<v Speaker 3>of billions of dollars twelve pounds but in new taxes. Again,

0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:24.600
<v Speaker 3>the Labor government is ready to is readying its second

0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:27.119
<v Speaker 3>major tax increase in two years, as it tries to

0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:32.639
<v Speaker 3>avoid spooking markets, specifically bond markets, because it's taking on

0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:39.320
<v Speaker 3>so much debt and it's killing the economy. And this

0:22:39.359 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 3>is a good description. The UK has long been torn

0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:45.119
<v Speaker 3>between two mutually exclusive desires. Voters want European levels of

0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:49.640
<v Speaker 3>welfare with American levels of taxation. Of course, we're over

0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:53.920
<v Speaker 3>spending our taxation too, but by accident design, the debate

0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:56.600
<v Speaker 3>is slowly being resolved in the direction of higher taxes.

0:22:56.840 --> 0:22:59.680
<v Speaker 3>As Britain's Labor government, which can't leave office soon enough,

0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:02.719
<v Speaker 3>here's its second major tax increase in is many years.

0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:05.879
<v Speaker 3>The UK is confronting an issue, facing growing numbers of

0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:09.439
<v Speaker 3>rich nations, how to pay for rising government spending without

0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:13.800
<v Speaker 3>taking on evermore debt and spooking financial markets. So they've

0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:18.080
<v Speaker 3>got this giant tax increase coming to narrow the budget deficit,

0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:22.320
<v Speaker 3>which is at about six percent of their GDP. Biggest

0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:26.240
<v Speaker 3>rounds the tax increases since the mid seventies. The increases

0:23:26.280 --> 0:23:30.440
<v Speaker 3>will likely further constrain Britain's anemic economic growth.

0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:32.920
<v Speaker 4>A lot of that had to do with their net

0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:35.600
<v Speaker 4>zero policies around climate change, which were.

0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:40.320
<v Speaker 3>Crazy, absolutely true. Yeah, those two things are just crushing

0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:43.679
<v Speaker 3>the economy. So the latest increase will raise the UK's

0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:47.680
<v Speaker 3>tax rate to about thirty eight percent of annual economic output,

0:23:48.080 --> 0:23:51.119
<v Speaker 3>highest level ever, compares with about thirty percent in the

0:23:51.200 --> 0:23:54.359
<v Speaker 3>nineties and low thirties and twenty tens. That puts the

0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:56.480
<v Speaker 3>UK comfortably ahead of the US, which is in the

0:23:56.480 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 3>mid twenties although spending ourselves into oblivion, but still short

0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:04.200
<v Speaker 3>of Germany and France. The pitfalls of such an approach

0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:08.120
<v Speaker 3>are evident in Germany, which taxes wages more than any

0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:11.600
<v Speaker 3>other rich country except Belgium, taking almost fifty percent of

0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:15.440
<v Speaker 3>employees gross wages on average. While that approach has helped

0:24:15.440 --> 0:24:17.679
<v Speaker 3>Germany balance budgets in the past, is that it is

0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:24.240
<v Speaker 3>eaten into Germans purchasing power, depressing consumption, and Germany that

0:24:24.320 --> 0:24:27.680
<v Speaker 3>at the end of the Cold War spending on defense

0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:30.720
<v Speaker 3>and poured the difference into the welfare state, now needs

0:24:30.760 --> 0:24:33.080
<v Speaker 3>desperately to spend more on the military and shore up

0:24:33.080 --> 0:24:36.879
<v Speaker 3>crumbling infrastructure, from potholed roads to a decrepit rail system.

0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:40.119
<v Speaker 3>But taxes are already very high and the growth is

0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:48.080
<v Speaker 3>too weak to fund new taxes. Slow motion car wreck. Yeah.

0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:53.040
<v Speaker 4>I took in a podcast about Britain's financial situation several

0:24:53.080 --> 0:24:56.440
<v Speaker 4>weeks ago and it was striking the whole time is

0:24:56.480 --> 0:24:56.919
<v Speaker 4>listening to it.

0:24:56.920 --> 0:24:58.879
<v Speaker 3>I kept thinking, why isn't this a bigger story?

0:24:58.880 --> 0:25:00.760
<v Speaker 4>Why don't more people know this in the United States,

0:25:01.000 --> 0:25:04.760
<v Speaker 4>that Britain has just ruined their economy and then there's

0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:08.120
<v Speaker 4>no easy way out and they are like our future.

0:25:08.200 --> 0:25:09.840
<v Speaker 4>We can look at them and we're gonna be able

0:25:09.840 --> 0:25:11.240
<v Speaker 4>to see what it's going to be like for us.

0:25:11.600 --> 0:25:15.680
<v Speaker 4>I know, the world's most predictable disaster. It's so frustrating,

0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:20.280
<v Speaker 4>and he didn't tune in to be frustrated but I mean,

0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:24.119
<v Speaker 4>it's just somebody comes up here on the street and says,

0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:27.000
<v Speaker 4>I really like fentanyl. I'm taking more fentanyl every day,

0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:30.679
<v Speaker 4>and you're thinking, well, you're going O D and die.

0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:33.200
<v Speaker 4>In fact, one hundred percent of people who you said

0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:35.080
<v Speaker 4>that to and think you're going to O D and die,

0:25:35.320 --> 0:25:37.920
<v Speaker 4>But they just keep doing it. I feel like that's

0:25:37.960 --> 0:25:41.080
<v Speaker 4>the situation we're in now because the average voter has

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:43.040
<v Speaker 4>no grasp. And this is true in France, it's true

0:25:43.040 --> 0:25:45.480
<v Speaker 4>in Britain, it's true in the US. Has no grasp

0:25:45.600 --> 0:25:49.800
<v Speaker 4>of the concept of fiscal restraint. They you know, it's

0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:53.960
<v Speaker 4>too easy to sell them on. You deserve handouts. I

0:25:54.080 --> 0:25:56.200
<v Speaker 4>just did you know. I don't know how.

0:25:56.160 --> 0:25:58.960
<v Speaker 3>Legitimate this quote is. I've seen it a million times old.

0:25:59.119 --> 0:26:03.199
<v Speaker 3>The Scottish guy that when a people realizes it can

0:26:03.240 --> 0:26:06.440
<v Speaker 3>vote itself money themselves, money from the treasury, a republic

0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:11.119
<v Speaker 3>is doomed. I'm not sure there's any turning it around

0:26:11.280 --> 0:26:16.080
<v Speaker 3>short of a cataclysm. But you don't bounce back from

0:26:16.119 --> 0:26:20.440
<v Speaker 3>every cataclysm. It was like, you're only half serious. God

0:26:20.560 --> 0:26:22.760
<v Speaker 3>send me a warning, so I get really serious about

0:26:22.800 --> 0:26:24.920
<v Speaker 3>getting healthy, like a minor heart.

0:26:24.680 --> 0:26:27.080
<v Speaker 4>Attack, right, I ask God to give me a minor

0:26:27.119 --> 0:26:30.400
<v Speaker 4>heart attack, so I would start eating better. Well, your genius, Jack,

0:26:30.440 --> 0:26:34.399
<v Speaker 4>your unappreciated genius, is that's a perfect metaphor for the

0:26:34.520 --> 0:26:39.240
<v Speaker 4>United States. The only thing that will stop us wolfing

0:26:39.359 --> 0:26:42.920
<v Speaker 4>down bacon, drinking a cord of bourbon a night, and

0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:46.719
<v Speaker 4>smoking four packs a day is a fiscal heart attack,

0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:50.760
<v Speaker 4>the problem being you don't always survive them.

0:26:50.960 --> 0:26:52.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:55.800
<v Speaker 4>Well, the pandemic was quite the cataclysm, and it didn't

0:26:55.800 --> 0:26:56.960
<v Speaker 4>make things better anywhere.

0:26:58.119 --> 0:27:01.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, Oh, you know that's funny. And when we

0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:03.199
<v Speaker 3>were talking a couple of segments ago, whenever it was

0:27:03.240 --> 0:27:06.359
<v Speaker 3>about young people and young men and their anger and

0:27:06.400 --> 0:27:10.320
<v Speaker 3>anti Semitism and that whole stew the writer that I

0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:19.480
<v Speaker 3>was quoting mentioned how bitterly painful the COVID shutdowns were

0:27:19.880 --> 0:27:23.679
<v Speaker 3>for young men in so many ways, and it drove

0:27:23.840 --> 0:27:28.800
<v Speaker 3>them away from girlfriends and real friends and jobs and

0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:31.680
<v Speaker 3>striving and pride in being a man. Blah blah blah.

0:27:31.720 --> 0:27:37.560
<v Speaker 3>The COVID shutdowns, which were specifically opposite of what all

0:27:37.600 --> 0:27:40.000
<v Speaker 3>the health organizations around the world had said they would

0:27:40.000 --> 0:27:43.600
<v Speaker 3>do when there was a pandemic. They abandoned all their

0:27:43.640 --> 0:27:45.920
<v Speaker 3>plans and panicked and shut them down and kept the

0:27:46.000 --> 0:27:47.800
<v Speaker 3>kids out of schools, the rest of it. I don't

0:27:47.800 --> 0:27:51.159
<v Speaker 3>think we've reckoned with a third of the damage that did. No.

0:27:51.320 --> 0:27:57.680
<v Speaker 3>Definitely incredible evil that perpetrated. I'll be saying that until

0:27:57.720 --> 0:28:06.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm lowered into my grave. Straight from our europe and

0:28:06.200 --> 0:28:15.280
<v Speaker 3>News desk. Okay, this is that was Joe Getty's your bureau.

0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:22.080
<v Speaker 3>It was so horrible, it was great. Oh Man, Armstrong, he.

0:28:22.200 --> 0:28:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Getty, the Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:28:39.480 --> 0:28:42.840
<v Speaker 10>Anaheim Police detective Heather Skaglioni says the thieves used a

0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:46.240
<v Speaker 10>tablet meant for locksmith's that can connect to technology and

0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:49.600
<v Speaker 10>newer vehicles. He's being handed a like a locksmith tool,

0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:52.360
<v Speaker 10>a computer device that plugs into the computer system in

0:28:52.440 --> 0:28:55.240
<v Speaker 10>the car so you can quickly reprogram it and turn

0:28:55.320 --> 0:28:57.120
<v Speaker 10>the car on so you can leave with that truck.

0:28:57.400 --> 0:29:00.480
<v Speaker 10>Thieves are also using antennas to pick up signals from

0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:02.080
<v Speaker 10>keyfobs inside homes.

0:29:02.560 --> 0:29:07.320
<v Speaker 3>Wait a minute, yeah, go back to metal keys that

0:29:07.520 --> 0:29:09.040
<v Speaker 3>just stick in the ignition and twist.

0:29:09.480 --> 0:29:09.720
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:29:09.760 --> 0:29:11.920
<v Speaker 11>In the In the video attached to that news article,

0:29:11.920 --> 0:29:14.280
<v Speaker 11>it actually showed a ring camera at the front door

0:29:14.400 --> 0:29:18.000
<v Speaker 11>and the thieves were holding an antenna and they had

0:29:18.040 --> 0:29:20.239
<v Speaker 11>some kind of device tucked in their pocket that this

0:29:20.240 --> 0:29:22.160
<v Speaker 11>thing was connected to, and when they held it up,

0:29:22.520 --> 0:29:25.040
<v Speaker 11>they just touched the house. And then the car that

0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:28.719
<v Speaker 11>was parked in the driveway started because somebody had already

0:29:29.080 --> 0:29:30.800
<v Speaker 11>was able to get into it and start the car

0:29:31.400 --> 0:29:33.080
<v Speaker 11>just by using the key fob signal.

0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:38.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I remember two cars ago, I think it was.

0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Was that your trains amuh yeah, yeah with the t tops. Yeah,

0:29:44.560 --> 0:29:49.200
<v Speaker 3>my fob keyfob kept the battery kept dying. I said,

0:29:49.200 --> 0:29:51.200
<v Speaker 3>where do you keep it relative to your garage? And

0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:53.120
<v Speaker 3>it was too close to the garage. They said, he

0:29:53.240 --> 0:29:55.080
<v Speaker 3>either got to shield it or move it because the

0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:57.360
<v Speaker 3>car and the keyfob keep talking to each other.

0:29:57.440 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know that. That's why my battery runs down

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:00.360
<v Speaker 4>so fast.

0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:01.000
<v Speaker 3>I my key fob.

0:30:01.040 --> 0:30:02.640
<v Speaker 4>I feel like every place it every two weeks, and

0:30:02.680 --> 0:30:03.600
<v Speaker 4>nobody's ever told me that.

0:30:03.920 --> 0:30:08.440
<v Speaker 3>Okay, yeah, anyway, so yeah, obviously they are putting out signals,

0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:12.480
<v Speaker 3>and you know, well putting out signals all the time.

0:30:12.520 --> 0:30:14.280
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, you can sniff them and use them to

0:30:14.280 --> 0:30:17.880
<v Speaker 3>break into a car. What the heck? Death penalty for

0:30:17.920 --> 0:30:18.520
<v Speaker 3>car thieves?

0:30:19.080 --> 0:30:19.280
<v Speaker 12>There?

0:30:19.280 --> 0:30:21.560
<v Speaker 3>You go, hang them. They're the modern horse thieves. Hang them.

0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:25.920
<v Speaker 3>That's right right outside general motors, you know, forder whatever

0:30:25.960 --> 0:30:27.600
<v Speaker 3>it may be. It's your local dealer. I don't know.

0:30:28.160 --> 0:30:30.160
<v Speaker 3>Come on down, bring the kids, we'll spin the wheel

0:30:30.200 --> 0:30:34.160
<v Speaker 3>of prizes, hang a car thief. They're actually making these

0:30:34.560 --> 0:30:35.280
<v Speaker 3>free hot dogs.

0:30:35.520 --> 0:30:37.160
<v Speaker 11>They're making these key chains now too, that you can

0:30:37.160 --> 0:30:38.920
<v Speaker 11>get on like Amazon or whatever, that you just put

0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 11>on there and then you can tuck your keyfob in

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:43.440
<v Speaker 11>that middle block that signal I saw.

0:30:43.840 --> 0:30:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, good, yeah, excellent, there you go. Simple solution. Thank you,

0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:50.200
<v Speaker 3>Katie life hack. Yeah. So we're talking about conspiracy theories

0:30:50.200 --> 0:30:52.840
<v Speaker 3>and how they work and what's at the root of them.

0:30:53.000 --> 0:30:54.880
<v Speaker 3>And I remembered a piece I brought to you a

0:30:54.920 --> 0:30:58.280
<v Speaker 3>while ago, about a month ago, about gnosticism. How a

0:30:58.280 --> 0:31:00.600
<v Speaker 3>lot of the people pushing this stuff are like the

0:31:00.640 --> 0:31:06.720
<v Speaker 3>first century Gnostics, a Christian heresy that holds that the

0:31:06.760 --> 0:31:09.720
<v Speaker 3>material world is evil, that a special KnowledgeR knows this

0:31:09.920 --> 0:31:13.240
<v Speaker 3>with a g lifts us out of its corruptions into redemption.

0:31:13.720 --> 0:31:17.280
<v Speaker 3>Salvation under its theory, requires neither faith nor action, only

0:31:17.320 --> 0:31:19.440
<v Speaker 3>the recognition that you're being lied to and that your

0:31:19.480 --> 0:31:24.240
<v Speaker 3>soul belongs elsewhere. Gnosticism, like orthodox religions, asks why evil exists,

0:31:24.440 --> 0:31:27.800
<v Speaker 3>but instead of traditional answers rooted in personal responsibility. It

0:31:27.840 --> 0:31:31.360
<v Speaker 3>posits that malevolent forces control the world. Knowledge of these

0:31:31.360 --> 0:31:35.320
<v Speaker 3>forces becomes the work itself. Discover them and you are redeemed,

0:31:35.360 --> 0:31:42.920
<v Speaker 3>which is interesting. But then this from Claire Layman, a

0:31:42.920 --> 0:31:46.560
<v Speaker 3>piece called the New Medievals, and he goes into a

0:31:46.640 --> 0:31:51.640
<v Speaker 3>variety of people, including Candace Owens, who has been implicating

0:31:51.680 --> 0:31:54.080
<v Speaker 3>everyone in the murder, from the Israeli government to Turning

0:31:54.080 --> 0:31:58.760
<v Speaker 3>Point USA itself to Erica Kirk and last week her

0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:03.120
<v Speaker 3>speculation reached tapagee when she suggested that Donald Trump himself

0:32:03.240 --> 0:32:06.880
<v Speaker 3>was involved, which is, well, what the hell go for

0:32:06.920 --> 0:32:10.000
<v Speaker 3>a touchdown if you're throwing the ball. But then she

0:32:10.040 --> 0:32:12.800
<v Speaker 3>writes to Claire Wright's owns, while theorizing is an anomaly,

0:32:12.880 --> 0:32:15.560
<v Speaker 3>it's part of something older and darker. There's a distinctly

0:32:15.800 --> 0:32:19.080
<v Speaker 3>medieval quality to much of the conspiratorial right, a world

0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:24.080
<v Speaker 3>animated by unseen cabal's moral corruption and divine punishment disguised

0:32:24.160 --> 0:32:28.240
<v Speaker 3>as politics. Then she talks about how in journalism, if

0:32:28.240 --> 0:32:31.000
<v Speaker 3>it bleeds, it leads in any story that features a

0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:34.960
<v Speaker 3>villain or a group of villains doing something dastardly to

0:32:35.040 --> 0:32:38.400
<v Speaker 3>innocent victims is much more likely to be read and

0:32:38.440 --> 0:32:42.720
<v Speaker 3>shared than an article that say debunks such narratives with statistics.

0:32:43.920 --> 0:32:47.200
<v Speaker 3>She explains, our mammalian brains are wired to perceive and

0:32:47.400 --> 0:32:52.280
<v Speaker 3>anthropomorphized threats. When our ancestors saw thunderbolts crashing down from

0:32:52.280 --> 0:32:55.600
<v Speaker 3>the sky, they didn't think it was caused by electricity

0:32:55.600 --> 0:32:58.320
<v Speaker 3>in the air and complex weather systems, but by the

0:32:58.400 --> 0:33:01.880
<v Speaker 3>wrath of vengeful God. That's what I believe it looks

0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:04.360
<v Speaker 3>like humans. Yeah, Jack still believes that we have to

0:33:04.400 --> 0:33:11.920
<v Speaker 3>talk him down after every weather forecast. But so media entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs,

0:33:12.000 --> 0:33:15.200
<v Speaker 3>whether it's a candas owns or a big publisher or executive,

0:33:16.000 --> 0:33:20.880
<v Speaker 3>knows that readers want to be frightened by stories of plotters, vandals, criminals,

0:33:20.880 --> 0:33:25.920
<v Speaker 3>and killers in literature and film disproportionate attention compared with

0:33:26.000 --> 0:33:29.440
<v Speaker 3>the works of other sorts. For example, thrillers make up

0:33:29.480 --> 0:33:31.720
<v Speaker 3>over twelve percent of adult fiction sales in the US,

0:33:31.720 --> 0:33:34.840
<v Speaker 3>True Pride crime podcast account for nearly a quarter of

0:33:34.840 --> 0:33:40.560
<v Speaker 3>the top rank. Show US very very hot yet conspiracy theories,

0:33:40.960 --> 0:33:43.600
<v Speaker 3>Those tales of shadowy cabals wreaking havoc in the world

0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:46.240
<v Speaker 3>seem to be the most seductive at all. I'm sorry

0:33:46.280 --> 0:33:49.040
<v Speaker 3>the most seductive of all. They combine the adrenaline of

0:33:49.080 --> 0:33:52.360
<v Speaker 3>a thriller with the morality of a fable. These moral

0:33:52.440 --> 0:33:55.880
<v Speaker 3>horror stories, as literary professor Jonathan Goshall argues in a

0:33:55.920 --> 0:33:59.360
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty one book called The Story Paradox, succeeded not

0:33:59.440 --> 0:34:03.480
<v Speaker 3>because they persuade people rationally, but because they gratify audiences

0:34:03.520 --> 0:34:08.280
<v Speaker 3>on an emotional level. He wrote, quote, conspiracy stories promise

0:34:08.400 --> 0:34:12.839
<v Speaker 3>heroes and villains, secret clues, and moral urgency, and each

0:34:12.880 --> 0:34:17.200
<v Speaker 3>one invites the listener to join a righteous crusade. That's

0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:21.600
<v Speaker 3>a really good example. Heroes and villains, secret clues, and

0:34:21.760 --> 0:34:25.799
<v Speaker 3>moral urgency, and you get to join a righteous crusade.

0:34:25.960 --> 0:34:28.480
<v Speaker 3>I get this, and clearly it's true.

0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:31.600
<v Speaker 4>I just it's interesting to me that some people like

0:34:31.760 --> 0:34:36.879
<v Speaker 4>me just aren't susceptible to it. If it doesn't make sense, like, well,

0:34:37.040 --> 0:34:38.960
<v Speaker 4>I don't get that, and then there's no proof that

0:34:39.040 --> 0:34:40.880
<v Speaker 4>it's that this is true. And then I just let

0:34:40.960 --> 0:34:43.600
<v Speaker 4>it go, you know, one more note before the break,

0:34:43.640 --> 0:34:44.799
<v Speaker 4>and then I want to come back with more of

0:34:44.800 --> 0:34:48.040
<v Speaker 4>this because it's super thought provoking. But he mentions she

0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:51.680
<v Speaker 4>mentions a couple of scientific experiments psychological experiments through the

0:34:51.719 --> 0:35:01.240
<v Speaker 4>years where people who feel powerless, confused, overwhelmed, powerless begin

0:35:01.400 --> 0:35:07.120
<v Speaker 4>to see patterns that are not there because they really

0:35:07.200 --> 0:35:10.720
<v Speaker 4>want to bring order to the disorder that they perceive.

0:35:10.880 --> 0:35:14.120
<v Speaker 3>Quote. Participants who lack control were more likely to perceive

0:35:14.160 --> 0:35:18.160
<v Speaker 3>a variety of illusory patterns, including seeing images and noise,

0:35:18.239 --> 0:35:22.680
<v Speaker 3>forming illusory correlations in stock market information, perceiving conspiracies, and

0:35:22.719 --> 0:35:26.799
<v Speaker 3>developing superstitions, the authors wrote. Another twenty twenty study found

0:35:26.800 --> 0:35:29.360
<v Speaker 3>that the lack of a sense of lack of agency

0:35:29.760 --> 0:35:32.880
<v Speaker 3>also predicted belief in Jewish conspiracies.

0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:37.000
<v Speaker 4>Specifically, well, maybe that's why conspiracies don't work on me.

0:35:37.040 --> 0:35:41.080
<v Speaker 4>Then I don't generally feel powerless or lacking agency, so

0:35:41.640 --> 0:35:43.040
<v Speaker 4>they don't grab me in the same way.
