1
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 2: I'm strong and Jetty and he I'm strong and Getty.

4
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 3: What was the feeling about that particular opening salvo to

5
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 3: the team?

6
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: Uh?

7
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 4: Oh, she i am told said something to the effect of,

8
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 4: why do you think the country thinks you're biased? But

9
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 4: she didn't offer any kind of a metric. You know,

10
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 4: what's your metric? Why do you think so? Do you

11
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 4: have a poll? Is there market research? What are you

12
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 4: talking about? Because we certainly didn't believe that.

13
00:00:55,080 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 5: Scott Pelly shocked that Barry Weise running CBS News to them,

14
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 5: why do you think the country thinks you are biased?

15
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 2: Here at sixty minutes and he's biased in me? God,

16
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: what proof do you have that we're biased? Wow?

17
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: How much trust do you have in the major media?

18
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: Just before nineteen eighty it was about seventy two percent.

19
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: It's now twenty eight percent. Scott, it's falling off the map.

20
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: More Americans believe media favors Democrats than Republicans, sixty four

21
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: to twenty two Republicans to Democrats.

22
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: Uh, do we have polls? We got piles of polls.

23
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: We got piles of polls so high you have to

24
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: climb a pole to get to the box to the

25
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: top of it.

26
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 5: The hell yeah, I'm more disturbed by the crowd that

27
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 5: doesn't know they're biased than I am by Fox or MSNBC.

28
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,559
Speaker 5: They've got a particular job, that're serving a particular audience.

29
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 5: They knew exactly what they're doing. They're doing it on purpose. Sure,

30
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 5: and uh, it's the CBS Evening Newses, the Meets the

31
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 5: Press and the nprs of the world that think, no,

32
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 5: we're holding the line for both sides.

33
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: Those are the people. Don't worry me.

34
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: Well, I just see if everything through a lens of

35
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: truth and fairness, we could never be biased.

36
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 5: So Scott Pelly sat down with the New York Times

37
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 5: podcast crew over the weekend and did an interview, and

38
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 5: there's a lot of good stuff here. And then I've

39
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 5: got a comment from somebody who worked at CBS Viacom

40
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 5: for a decade on what it's like there and.

41
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: Couldn't believe this interview anyway more.

42
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 4: Scott Pelly, My hope is that the leadership of Paramount

43
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 4: will say to themselves, Okay, this isn't working. We have

44
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 4: broadcasts that almost don't get on the air. We have

45
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 4: respected journalists saying that there is a thumb on the

46
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 4: scale for one political party over another. Wow, we have

47
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 4: a broadcast which is among the most important in America,

48
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 4: the most successful in the history of all of television.

49
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 4: It was doing great. So why are we making these changes?

50
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 5: The fact that Scott Pelley thinks that the new version

51
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 5: of sixty Minutes has got its thumb on the scale

52
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 5: for one party, the Republicans, and that it didn't have

53
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 5: its thumb on the scale.

54
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: Ever for Democrats is I don't even know how to

55
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: comment on that.

56
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: Well, if you spend all of your time, in all

57
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: of your conversation on the far left, the moderate left

58
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: is the right, and he's not even aware of anything

59
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: from the center on right word, so.

60
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 5: I mentioned earlier, I was shocked that after and we'll

61
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 5: play somewhere Scott Pelley for you here in a second.

62
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 5: But I was shocked that this controversy of last week,

63
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 5: when Scott Pelly got fired and needed these interviews, made

64
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 5: all these comments and everything like that that Sixty Minutes

65
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 5: ran last night. Their opening story was all about the

66
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 5: threats that judges are under across America, and they based

67
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 5: it on comments Trump has made about justices being liars

68
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 5: or crooked or whatever, and I hate that. I don't

69
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 5: think Trump should be doing that at all. I'm not

70
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 5: trying to claim that's okay, but the idea that this

71
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 5: doesn't work both ways is just amazing. And they went

72
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 5: all judges Republican and Democrat judges but that have been

73
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 5: have gotten death threats because of Trump and other Republicans verbiage,

74
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 5: and I thought, you've got to be kidding. I'm waiting

75
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 5: here to hear somebody mention Brett Kavanaugh almost dying in

76
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 5: an assassination nation attempt after Democrats called him crooked over

77
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 5: roversus weight. And they finally after fifteen minutes fifteen minutes

78
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 5: into the show, brought up it's not just democratic or

79
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 5: it's not just Democrats.

80
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: Saying bad things about judges at.

81
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 5: Okay, fine, And it really looked like it had the

82
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 5: feel of it got tacked on later somebody thought we

83
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 5: can't just have this be completely one sided, so they

84
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 5: mentioned Republicans. They and they only mentioned Chuck Schumer calling

85
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 5: out Brett Kavanaugh. They didn't play the clip of Chuck

86
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 5: Schumer there his veins popping out of his forehead. You

87
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 5: have you're going to reap, throw in Kavanagh. That was

88
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 5: the Senate majority leader calling what hit you? A Supreme

89
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 5: Court justice because he didn't like the decision he made.

90
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 5: It's a problem, but to make it seem like it

91
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 5: was mostly public a Republican problem. And then Scott Pelly

92
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 5: doing the same week in an interview saying, now there's

93
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 5: a thumb.

94
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 2: On the scale for the Republicans and people are going

95
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: to see that. At what point in do you report?

96
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: Did they mention Amy Cony Barrett got swatted two weeks ago.

97
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: Not at all I mentioned that, Yeah, no, not at all.

98
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: Her address is known thanks to the abortion rights activist

99
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: group Ruth sent Us, which published the private addresses of

100
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: the conservative justices back in twenty twenty two. Yeah, you

101
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: just don't call this what about ism.

102
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 5: I hate when people say that the what about ism

103
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 5: is both sides should stop doing it, and you should

104
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 5: report that both sides are doing it.

105
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to justify.

106
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 5: It drives me nuts when I hear pundit's talking about

107
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 5: we hear just what about it?

108
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: Is it?

109
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 5: Yeah?

110
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: Because both sides are doing it, you morons, right, and

111
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: it needs to stop.

112
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 5: But sixty minutes acting like it was a one sided

113
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 5: story the very week they're claiming that they're down the

114
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 5: middle was just hilarious to me.

115
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: Speaking of abhorrent things in the modern world. A quick

116
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: word from our friends that in Cogny picture this year

117
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: at work, your phone buzzes, it's your kid's number. Your

118
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: kid's voice is panicked. He's been in an actually that

119
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: needs money right now. You'd move heaven and earth to

120
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: help you. That's what the scammer is counting on.

121
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 5: The fact that they only need a couple of seconds

122
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 5: of your wife's voice, your husband's voice, your dad's voice,

123
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 5: your kid's voice, or whatever to try to scam you

124
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 5: is disturbing. The best way to not get scammed is

125
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 5: if they can't find you in the first place.

126
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, the criminals buy your phone number and all your

127
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: family details from data brokers, but if the data brokers

128
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: don't have that for sale, they're not gonna get it.

129
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: And that's what Incogniti does. They go after these data brokers,

130
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: tell them you got to take that info down, and

131
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: then they bug them over and over and over again

132
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: to make sure it stays down.

133
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: Ye have.

134
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 5: They contact hundreds of data brokers and legally force them

135
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 5: to remove your information. We're using it incognit, and you're

136
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 5: gonna notice a drop in spam calls, emails.

137
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: And texts.

138
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: Go to incognity dot com slash armstrong. That's sixty percent

139
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: off when you use the code armstrong at in cognity

140
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: dot com slash armstrong, I ncog ni dot com slash armstrong.

141
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: Let's roll with another delusional Scott Pelly clip.

142
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 4: We need adult supervision and at the moment we don't

143
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 4: have it. We have people who've been installed in these

144
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 4: jobs who, through no fault of their own, have no

145
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 4: experience in television. It's not their fault, but they don't

146
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 4: know what they're doing.

147
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 5: And there's a.

148
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 4: Subtle political bias that I've never seen at sixty months before.

149
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 2: You've got to be getting me.

150
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 4: And so we're at CBS News before, and so that

151
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 4: is my hope. A return to sanity, a return to honor,

152
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 4: a return to courage. We used to have all of

153
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 4: those things in abundance, and now we don't.

154
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 5: This is the perfect time for this subtle bias you've

155
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 5: never seen before at sixty minutes or CBS News.

156
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 2: Now that is a howler. Yeah, it absolutely has.

157
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: Scott Pelly's New York Times interview is an unintended eulogy

158
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: for legacy media and a portrait of a man blubbering

159
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,599
Speaker 1: and seething in denial of his irrelevance. He does a

160
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: cultural as a cultural document. It's fascinating. Yeah, yeah, play

161
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: that last clip, short clip that we opened a show with.

162
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: And then I've got a response from somebody who worked

163
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: in the at CBS viacom for a decade.

164
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 2: We can save this.

165
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 4: It's possible to land this plane. But right now, CBS News,

166
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 4: in my view, is on fire.

167
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: All right, Oh my god.

168
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 5: I think things most were better when we had a

169
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 5: big media organization gatekeeper sort of stuff.

170
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: In retrospect. I didn't think that was true at the time,

171
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: but I do think it's now.

172
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 5: But anyway, he's just not recognizing to a certain extent, one,

173
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 5: the fact that bias had become more and more prevalent

174
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 5: in mainstream journalism over the years. And two, you're not

175
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 5: as big a deal as you think you are. Unfortunately

176
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 5: to me, would you like to give me this is

177
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 5: a heritage, legendary, most powerful Yeah, you want me to

178
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 5: give you the list of like I can tell you

179
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 5: some radio stations that were the most legendary radio stations

180
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 5: that ever existed that no longer exist at all. It's

181
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 5: times change for better or words. Anyway, here's this guy

182
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 5: I didn't know, John Papola. Give me a break, he

183
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 5: tweets out, I worked at ViacomCBS now paramount for over

184
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 5: a decade. Of course, it was plus ninety percent Democrats.

185
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 5: Everyone knows this. Everyone and newsrooms in particular vote Democrat

186
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 5: to a higher degree than Berkeley, California, which is a

187
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 5: heck of a statement, but true. And you know what, fine,

188
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 5: I have lots of friends with whom I disagree from

189
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 5: time to time. There it was a great place actually

190
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 5: to act as if this claim about bias is controversial,

191
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 5: let alone inaccurate.

192
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 2: Show that he's either a liar.

193
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 5: An imbecile, or so deeply incurious tunnel vision that you

194
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 5: don't belong anywhere near the job involving information discernment. But

195
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 5: he's got that familiar anchor voice, so we're supposed to

196
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 5: act like he's not being a complete clown.

197
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: Give me a break. You people are a mess. Yeah, wow,

198
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: well said I was.

199
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: Reminded Bernie Goldberg grow to Bias, a CBS insider exposes

200
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: how the media distort the news.

201
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 2: What fifteen years.

202
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 5: Ago or I think it was longer than that, wasn't it,

203
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 5: But anyway, we interviewed him several times and he said

204
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 5: he worked for Walter Cronkite's CBS News. He puts out

205
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 5: a book called Bias because he's so upset about the

206
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 5: bias in modern media.

207
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 2: But he said, back when he worked there, he never saw.

208
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 5: Like Walter Kronkite's own personal bias or anybody else's bias

209
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 5: get into the news. And he has a guy writing

210
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 5: a book about how much bias there is, so back

211
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 5: in the day, apparently there wasn't much. I know, I

212
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 5: felt that way about sixty minutes for a long time.

213
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 5: It was just in the last decade that it started

214
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 5: to Sometimes it would make me slap my head with it.

215
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: You gotta be kidding me. Well for Scott Pally to say,

216
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 2: for the first time ever, there's a thumb on the

217
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 2: scale for one party. Oh my god, that is, as

218
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: you said, a howler in americ In America.

219
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 5: This person who used to work there said he's either

220
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 5: an imbecile or so blinded by his tunnel vision that

221
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 5: he shouldn't be in a job where you're.

222
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 2: Supposed to make those decisions.

223
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: I like to do this occasionally, just to remind myself

224
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: how horrifyingly quickly time is passing by. Bernie Goldberg's landmark

225
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: book Bias first came out twenty four years ago.

226
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 2: Oh my god, oof, I know.

227
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 5: I was listening to an album the other day that

228
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 5: I still consider kind of new and realized, I'm realized,

229
00:12:55,080 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 5: I'm listening to the thirtieth anniversary edition of it, thirty

230
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 5: years ago it came out. Well, that's what happens when

231
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 5: you get old. If you're young, you don't feel that way.

232
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 5: True enough, Scott Pelly, get out of the way, make way.

233
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 2: Oh we need traditional TV newsman to guide us to

234
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 2: the future.

235
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 5: The partner cried, Oh boy, that was hard to take. Anyway,

236
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 5: We got more on the way.

237
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 6: Stay here, Armstrong, Hey, feed stole at least forty dollars

238
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 6: worth of Pokemon cards from a New Jersey trading card store.

239
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 6: Police are describing the thieves as armed, dangerous, and very

240
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 6: unlikely to get laid.

241
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 2: Ah, it's unfortunate stereotyped there.

242
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 5: I don't know how many times we can have this

243
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 5: story San Francisco streets or you know, whatever street in

244
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 5: the country, but in this particular case, San Francisco streets

245
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 5: are reeling from a deadly drug twenty times.

246
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: More powerful than fentanyl. How many times can this keep going?

247
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 5: Where something is X number of ten times more powerful

248
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 5: than the thing that one drop can kill you before,

249
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 5: just like hearing the name of it makes you drop dead.

250
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: It's like the old laundry detergent show Querry, you know,

251
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: every six months tied claimed to make your whites whiter

252
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: and your colors brighter.

253
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 2: It's like I got I'm already being blinded. I like,

254
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: can they get? But I want to hit this.

255
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 5: McDonald's testing AI drive through system called arch Iq at

256
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 5: a bunch of locations across the country.

257
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 2: So maybe if you go to McDonald's you'll get an

258
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 2: AI system.

259
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 5: I'd like a milkshake. Did you say French fries? No

260
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 5: milk shake? You said French fries. I assume it's going

261
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 5: to be better than that, though, But I gotta believe

262
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 5: the drive through person that that job's got like six

263
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 5: months left and they're all gone before AI takes that over.

264
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

265
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of jobs, Oh, by the way, I can't.

266
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to forget this. I have like the best,

267
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: one of the best. How would I describe it? Psychological

268
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: analyzes of young progressive women and why they are the

269
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: way they are because there is something going on, it

270
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: can be explained, And this was one of the best

271
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: ones I've come across. Really interesting and rings so true

272
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: with having raised two girls fairly recently. But speaking of

273
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: jobs at McDonald's and otherwise, I thought this was interesting.

274
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: The US needs mechanics and electricians, and big business seeing

275
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: a shortage of For instance, Ford Motor Company is desperate

276
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: for mechanics.

277
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: Their workforce is aging their way out. It's expensive.

278
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: You got to be trained, as in a mechanic, you

279
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: have to have your own tools, which can run, you know,

280
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: well into five figures from what I understand. But now

281
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: they're realizing, hey, we got to kickstart these efforts. We

282
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: got to fund high school programs like Ford is in

283
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: a partnership with Detroit, oh with the Bloomberg and the

284
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: Automaker kicking in two and a half million dollars to

285
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: fund auto repair base for high schools. They're talking about

286
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: let me jump partners and all sorts of trades.

287
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

288
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 5: What percentage of high school teachers across of America would

289
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 5: considered a failure if you decided to be an auto

290
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 5: mechanic as opposed to go to college.

291
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of them, most of them, all of them.

292
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got to believe it's ninety plus percent, which

293
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 5: is a problem. Yeah, the US skilled workforce is aging

294
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 5: fast well. Demand for workers and the trades multiply multiplies

295
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 5: quickly because of surging data center demand.

296
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: We'll see how long that lasts. Who knows, and investment

297
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: in advanced manufacturing. According to estimates from Associated Builders and

298
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: Contractors Big Industry Association, the construction industry needs to add

299
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: an estimated three hundred and forty nine thousand net new

300
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: workers this year alone to meet demand, fueled in part

301
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: for by a skyrocketing need for electricians on that particular job.

302
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: Though, Can you get it? If you only speak English,

303
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: could you even work for somebody? Would they hire you?

304
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: I don't yes, I think yes when you're talking big tech.

305
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: If you're talking residential construction, I don't know.

306
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 2: I don't doubt it.

307
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the trades are higher, like crazy, and or

308
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: you could go six figures into debt and sit in

309
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: a cubicle and not use your education whatsoever, and not

310
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: make much money, but at least you won't be humiliated by,

311
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: you know, working with your hands or anything. Also from

312
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 1: the world to work.

313
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 5: I thought this was interesting, you know, the big weight

314
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 5: loss or sarcasm in case you didn't pick up on that,

315
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 5: that's not what we think.

316
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. My voice was tripping with sarcasm.

317
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: Hey, so you're you're excited about the GLP one drugs,

318
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: you weight loss drugs, right, They're still fairly expensive, and

319
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: employer healthcare plans are saying, damn, we're spending a lot

320
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: on this.

321
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: Why don't we say no, you can't have it. More

322
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,719
Speaker 2: and more companies are saying no to that you really want.

323
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 5: Seems shortsighted to me. Man, Yeah, so get it now, now,

324
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 5: get skinned down before they wake up. What's what's all

325
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 5: that other stuff that you're going to have happen to

326
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 5: you because of being too heavy going.

327
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 2: To cost the company?

328
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 4: Now?

329
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.

330
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 5: Maga favorite Hunter Biden on fire on his new Twitter account.

331
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: We'll have to talk about that later. Wow, bring it, Hunter,

332
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: bring it.

333
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: So we were kind of pressed for a time last

334
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: segment I wanted to pay off the rest of the

335
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: whole discussion about the GLP ones. More than a quarter

336
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: of big companies say they're adding new criteria to get

337
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: approved for this.

338
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 2: That I get.

339
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, eleven percent of dropped or planning to drop coverage

340
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: from weight loss purposes all together, which strikes me as

341
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: being incredibly shortsighted, as you indicated last segment, Jack.

342
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 5: If you're pretty heavy, Yeah, but like i'd see, I

343
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 5: could see myself going on this drug. But I only

344
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 5: got like ten pounds max I could lose. The company

345
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 5: shouldn't pay for that. That's just a vanity project avoiding diet.

346
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: Yes, bikini body no right, revenge body no exactly exactly. Globally,

347
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: the number of companies covering these weight loss drugs is

348
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: fall into twenty three percent this year, from from thirty

349
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: percent just a year ago.

350
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. That's a okay, just a quick illustration.

351
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 5: Though.

352
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: This woman they profile, Samantha, says she's just glad her

353
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: employer's plan will still cover her with GOVI injections at all.

354
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: She and her doctor lobby to get her on the

355
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: Novo Nordis drug last year after the plan stopped covering

356
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: ze bound shots she had been taking.

357
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: The approval, though, came with a catch.

358
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: She must log her weight and meet with a nutritionist

359
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: at least once a month via an app, something she

360
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: didn't have to do in the past. So you've got

361
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: to like document that you're sticking with it and also

362
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: working out and blah blah blah h your company's not

363
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: going to pay for it.

364
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 2: I know how to game the system here. I need

365
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 2: to get really big, good idea and I think I

366
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 2: could do it solid idea. Yeah, uh super ah.

367
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: So that to summarizes that, get it well you can. I,

368
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: as a well as observers of you know, political systems

369
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: and politics and just society culture, are so troubled and

370
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: fascinated by the huge lurch leftward of young women and

371
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: how they as are well described and as was true

372
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: in h in mount say Tongues, uh, you know, revolutionary period,

373
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: the cultural revolution, the women are frequently the most adamant

374
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: and vicious adherence to the new radical philosophies.

375
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 2: And I think some of it has to do with

376
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 2: nobody's having kids. You're not.

377
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: You got nothing but time on your hands. Uh, and

378
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: and so you're uh, well, you know we've we've gone

379
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: into this at length, the desire to care for somebody,

380
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: to protect somebody. Since you don't have kids, it becomes

381
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: the downtrodden. Whatever the leaders tell you is the downtrodden,

382
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: and you'll defend them to the death like you would

383
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: your own child. But this is something a little different,

384
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: and this rings so true having just raised a couple

385
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: of girls. You know, I coach girl sports various other

386
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: organizations I was part of. This is written by a

387
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: guy named Dave, who I didn't know, but and he

388
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: has a picture of four like older millennial women, all

389
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: with the smug like smiling, you're so stupid look on

390
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: their face. Jack, if you can picture that, Yes, I can't, like,

391
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't believe I even have to

392
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: do this, you neanderselfs.

393
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 2: Anyway, listen to what do you write.

394
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: I've been seeing a certain archetypal commenter in the Spotlight recently,

395
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: all women my age, progressive and employed at mainstream institutions.

396
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: I don't know them, yet in every case I can

397
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: into it their origin story. It goes something like this,

398
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: be an older millennium female, no strong passion, but strive,

399
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 1: harden school, reach high school, steer clear of the kid

400
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: kids who like talking about far out philosophical issues. Also

401
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: steer clear of student government and debate club, which seems

402
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: too contentious and vaguely threatening. Focus on getting perfect grades,

403
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: complying with the college requirements. Get into a top university

404
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: based on those greats. Get introduced to politics in freshmen's

405
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: social justice class. Instantly floored. The peal of college politics

406
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: is just how cut and dried it is. Unlike other fields.

407
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: It has a clear good and bad side, no ambiguity.

408
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: The good side always wins in classroom discussions. You feel

409
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: like a hero for validating consensus with the conversation. Politics

410
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: becomes your religion. This is my passion. You graduate with

411
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: top grades and extra curriculum. Your degree is essentially in

412
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: current thingism. You have no broad understanding of history or

413
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: philosophy right your concept of human events is just people

414
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: being oppressed for four thousand years until feminism and progress

415
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: happened in the twentieth century. Despite the globe financial crisis,

416
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: immediately get hired by a government or media organization because

417
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: they want someone who quote understands the role of female

418
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 1: politics in our new digital era. Most of your colleagues

419
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: share your perspective. The ones who don't are older guys

420
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: on their way to retirement, not looking for the confrontation

421
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: that disagreeing with you would certainly involve. Yeah, great awokening happens. Sorry,

422
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: jump in anytime I can live that. Yeah, great awokening happens.

423
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: Double down on current thingism, politics, man bad covid happens.

424
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: Triple down on politics. You are fifteen years deep in

425
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: your career. You have never once genuinely engaged with a

426
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: peer who didn't validate your worldview, or you didn't consider

427
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: a token opposition to placate your political enemies. Vibe shift happens.

428
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: Establishment uncertain time to have a conversation with the people

429
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: you've considered deplorable.

430
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 2: Have conversation here.

431
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: Non progressive opinion that is common in the modern world,

432
00:23:55,480 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: historically ubiquitous. But you react with shock and horror. Can

433
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: you even believe this is happening? Confident that non progressive

434
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: opinion is trivially easy to refute, somehow have no idea

435
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: how to actually refute it. Unaware just how deeply you've

436
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: been betrayed by your education, such that the average educated

437
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: man on the street has more practical understanding of what

438
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: politics is than you do with decades of experience, amazed, angry.

439
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: I think that's pretty accurate.

440
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 5: I like the idea of majoring in current thingism. Yeah yeah, Wow,

441
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 5: that's a great expression.

442
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 2: I love that.

443
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: Confident that non progressive opinion is trivially easy, trivially easy

444
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: to refute.

445
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: Somehow you have no idea how to actually refute it.

446
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 2: Hence that look of smug These people are so stupid on.

447
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: Your face that you see so much. The other mask

448
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: is angrily screaming that those people are evil. Plainly. Wow,

449
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: that is so rings, so true. Well done, Dave Green.

450
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's what's going on here, but

451
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 5: one of the most prominent voices in the WNBA, one

452
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 5: of the leading players, says they do not want to

453
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 5: participate in the whole USA two fifty thing that is

454
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 5: going on in a lot of sports leagues where you

455
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 5: have a some sort of patch on your uniform about

456
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 5: the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the United STATESBA.

457
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 5: This WNBA All Star says, whoever called for the WNBA

458
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 5: All Star uniforms to have the USA two to fifty

459
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 5: patch should have thought that thought that through considering that

460
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 5: no WNBA players would have been free two hundred and.

461
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: Fifty years ago, which I suppose is supposed to be

462
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 2: a boo. Yeah, how could you possibly fight back against that?

463
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, darling, where were like black women quote unquote free

464
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty years ago? I mean they were

465
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: like caught and sold as slaves in Africa so by

466
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: other black people and buy Muslims and herbs and various

467
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: other people while the Ottoman Empire was capturing white Europeans

468
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: for slavery. Uh huh, Well you can't you know, I

469
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: don't hate her. I'm not contemptuous of her. She learned

470
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: what she was taught. She believed the sixteen nineteen project.

471
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: There are Pulitzers involved.

472
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 2: Right, I don't know about he learned what she was taught.

473
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 5: Your local school spent a lot of taxpayer money to

474
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 5: buy bunches of copies to teach it in history class.

475
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 2: Certainly that Yeah mentioned Hunter Biden. Maybe we'll get to

476
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 2: this will later go through some of his tweets. He had.

477
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 5: He had a Twitter account for years, but he hadn't

478
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 5: really tweeted, and he decided whatever to uh, for whatever reason,

479
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 5: to jump on Twitter in the last couple of weeks

480
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 5: and now he just lets it rip with all kinds

481
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 5: of stuff on a daily basis, all kinds.

482
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 2: Of different things, just gets involved in conversations with people.

483
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 5: And the most interesting angle of it is that he

484
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 5: has become kind of a Maga favorite because he speaks

485
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 5: out against the Epstein class.

486
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: So that's Jews, right, I guess, yeah, I guess sometimes

487
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: it's code for that. Sometimes it's just the rich and powerful,

488
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: which he was until his senile old man left the

489
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: White House.

490
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:14,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, he did say. He did say the other day

491
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 5: in one of his tweets that he's broke af and

492
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 5: does anybody know how he could make any money? On

493
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 5: X On Twitter, for instance, the topic of Vermont came

494
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 5: up for some reason. He said, Yeah, I love Vermont,

495
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 5: but I once got the s kicked out of me there. Wow.

496
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 2: I don't know why he got.

497
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: But the guy is gone now, Hundry, you can go

498
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: back if you want. Probably some sort of drug thing

499
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: went wrong or woman thing.

500
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

501
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 5: Uh. He attacked the Epstein elite oligarch class for trying

502
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 5: to divide the left and the right. After someone said

503
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 5: you're part of the Epstein class. He posted one of

504
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 5: those photos of him shirtless and unshaven and looking completely

505
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 5: out of control, and say and said, do I look

506
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 5: like I'm part of an elite oligarch class? He said,

507
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 5: this was taken at a Super eight motel off of

508
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 5: I ninety five. By the way, that's a pretty funny response.

509
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 5: That is that is he was nonetheless, well, you still are,

510
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 5: see part of the part of it. I don't believe

511
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 5: there's an Epstein class, really, but if you're just talking

512
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 5: about rich, powerful people in general, which there is a

513
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 5: class of that. You see, those people get to have

514
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 5: kids who get as far off the rails as you

515
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 5: and still somehow manage to have great lives. That's that class. Yeah, exactly,

516
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 5: although that might be over for him and his whole family.

517
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 5: He says that something broken me in a good way,

518
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 5: which is I no longer have any fear about anything,

519
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 5: so I can say anything about anything, which I imagine

520
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 5: is true. I mean, it's the Chris Christofferson line. You know,

521
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 5: freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.

522
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 5: I mean, what has he got to lose at all

523
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 5: about anything?

524
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: Right?

525
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:58,239
Speaker 5: Right?

526
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Biden family, be a nice moment for

527
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: Bill maher there clip number fifteen and said can you

528
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: grab that real quick?

529
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 3: Didn't anybody want to win a race at both parties?

530
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: I mean, you know this week Joe Biden, have you

531
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 3: seen that she needs to have a book out?

532
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: Jill Biden.

533
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 3: She went on, she thought Joe was having a stroke

534
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 3: during the debate, didn't mention it at the time, went

535
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,479
Speaker 3: on the view and admitted she thought, no, Joe couldn't

536
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 3: have surpen of the term.

537
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 2: They said, really, she said no, not from what I

538
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 2: know now? Who knew.

539
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 5: Yes?

540
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 2: Other than everyone knowing?

541
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 5: Wow, interesting response from the audience on that. Yeah, the

542
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 5: faws and just how laughable it is that you didn't

543
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 5: tell anybody you thought that the President of the United

544
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 5: States was having a stroke?

545
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: Right, just kept it to yourself.

546
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm reminded that guest Mark Halpern had though the other day,

547
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: who said no, he had convinced himself that Biden was

548
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: sharp as attack, and he's disturbed that he was able to.

549
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: Do that to himself.

550
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 5: So not everybody, Bill, Yeah, that's interesting again, you got

551
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 5: to look at your own life. Is there something you're

552
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 5: completely deluding yourself about because you want it to be true?

553
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 2: It seems to be the way we're built.

554
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: It seems to be Yeah, yeah, which reminds me I'd

555
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: meant to throw this in prior to this moment. That's

556
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: as the upstart candidates in Calvin Unicorneyo's two big elections

557
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: governor where Steve Hilton had a chance, and Spencer Pratt

558
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: in LA. Both of those guys have I believe, officially

559
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: faded to third or at least it's looking like that

560
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: I will not make the primary.

561
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,959
Speaker 2: Pratt's definitely out. Yeah, the trend is towards Steyer.

562
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: We'll see if it pans out because California takes weeks

563
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: to count the vote because it's ridiculous and mombed up. Anyway,

564
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: I was reminded of Hlman's a great quote that belief

565
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: in democracy is the belief that the voters know what

566
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: they want and deserve to get it good and hard

567
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: and man, that is going to happen, especially in LA,

568
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: but California if it's uh, Bessarah and Tom Steyer.

569
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 5: Oh, so you're gonna end up with Sarah as government

570
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 5: who was laughed out of the Biden administration. The people

571
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 5: that work with them think it's hilarious, like you gotta

572
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 5: be kidding me. And then Karen Bass with La in

573
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 5: the situation. It is how she handle the fires and

574
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 5: everything like that gets another term.

575
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 2: But it's just something, isn't it. Yeah, that's incredibly discouraging.

576
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 2: Is there a result so terrible?

577
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: Well no, I was going to call out the average voters,

578
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: but so much of it is the democratic machine, the

579
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: voting blocks that are connected to the machine.

580
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 2: They turn out one hundred. Yeah, I think you're right

581
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 2: the first time.

582
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 5: Can it get so bad that the average voter gets

583
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 5: to the holes that they organize and say we've got

584
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 5: to do something right right? The problem is they don't

585
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 5: get to the polls right, Yeah, which means it's not

586
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 5: bad enough.

587
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you would think it would be. Oh it will be,

588
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 2: It will will yeah. Just wait, okay, more more on

589
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 2: the ways stay here.

590
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 7: Armstrong, Wemby lurking, rugs and triples, pulls up, jump shot

591
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 7: back of them, won't go Webby the rebound twelve seconds remaining,

592
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 7: stolen by Brugson and knocked down by Webby. Crugson will

593
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 7: shoot free throws with nine point five remaining.

594
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 2: Oh what a turnner out of that sequence.

595
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

596
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 5: That the ending of that game was something else, the

597
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 5: big emerging giant. The next decade could be all about him.

598
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:56,479
Speaker 5: Star Wembyana. I don't know if the moment was too

599
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 5: big form or what, but he.

600
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 2: Just threw the ball at the back of a guy

601
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 2: wasn't looking.

602
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 5: Oh no, that was that, Oda yelled you suck at

603
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 5: and he and he had the look on his face

604
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 5: shaking his.

605
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 2: Head of what the hell was that? Oh boy, he knew,

606
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: he knew.

607
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: He got to know from JT, from JT and Livermore

608
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: talking about Trump being at the game Madison Square Garden.

609
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and the Secret Service talking about all the

610
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: methods they're getting used to protect him, and he said,

611
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: sounds very impressive, but left me wondering, what exactly is

612
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: different about your listed protection methods from that of Butler Pennsylvania.

613
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: You know, the assassination attempt which you failed to secure

614
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: the most obvious shooting location for.

615
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 5: And Trump at the game tonight. I'm going to tune

616
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 5: in just to see how that goes with the the

617
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 5: announcement and everything. Oh.

618
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 2: I wanted to get this on Bill Maher the other night.

619
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 5: I guess this was from the overtime or something like

620
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 5: he does his HBO show and then there's an extra

621
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 5: piece you can see online where he talked about Scott

622
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 5: Pelley of sixty minutes. Bill Maher said, I just don't

623
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 5: think beings a sixty minutes correspondent is that hard.

624
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 2: I don't feel like Scott Pelley was a national treasure.

625
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 2: Companies change hands all the time. I never liked him. Sorry,

626
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 2: I just never did because the crowd kind of bowed

627
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 2: a little bit.

628
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 5: Companies change hands, people bring in their own people, their

629
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 5: new ownership. Just because something changes doesn't mean it's bad.

630
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 5: Oh my god, sixty minutes has a new cast. So

631
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 5: does Saturday Night Live, which is a decent point yep,

632
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 5: big deal. I've told the story about how I love donuts,

633
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 5: and if you're new to the show, I really really

634
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 5: love donuts, like I had to swear them off for

635
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 5: the year because it's a problem.

636
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 2: I'm an addict.

637
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 5: And the donut shop that was near my house, the

638
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 5: closest donut shop within walking distance to me that I

639
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 5: went to regularly, sometimes daily.

640
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,919
Speaker 2: When I moved across town, it moved across town.

641
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 5: Now, I don't have any evidence that it was because

642
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 5: of me, but it's sure as a heck of a

643
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 5: coincidence that it moved clear Acrosstown. Also within walking distance. Anyway,

644
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 5: my son just texted me he went over there to

645
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 5: get a donut. He's got a last day of school

646
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 5: going on today. And the interesting thing about the people

647
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 5: that run that place is they are two of the

648
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 5: fittest people, best looking, fittest people I've ever seen in

649
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 5: my life. Married couple. Interesting, yeah, and I mean they're

650
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 5: like could be on TV. They could be doing one

651
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,479
Speaker 5: of those morning ESPN exercise shows. They're so good looking

652
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 5: husband and wife and so fit, and you run a

653
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 5: donut shop.

654
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 2: I mean, sir, what is that. There's no way you're

655
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 2: eating any donuts and looking like that. I mean they

656
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 2: are specimens. Wow wow wow. Yeah, that's interesting.

657
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,439
Speaker 1: It reminds me of like your really serious cartel drug

658
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: lords who would never.

659
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 2: Do drugs because I think it's ridiculous. Right, So they're

660
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 2: selling death.

661
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 5: Donuts are deaf, but they're not a road delicious death.

662
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 5: They're not a road to look like either. One of

663
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 5: you always in their work out gear because they hit

664
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 5: the gym before the donut shop open.

665
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't get high on your own supply, man, I

666
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 2: guess that's what it is.

667
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 5: Remember that they're both about forty and just like zero

668
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 5: percent body fat selling donuts to those of us who

669
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 5: waddle in.

00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:21,640
