1 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 2 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong is show Ketty. 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 1: Arm Strong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Hetty. We 5 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: should bring this story back up again later. So the 6 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: Chicago Police Department has updated the numbers from Chicago. Fifty 7 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: eight shot eight dead. That's the total from the Labor 8 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: Day weekend in Chicago. Fifty eight shot, eight dead. And 9 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: the headline for mainstream media is how dare Trump send 10 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 1: the National Guard? Well crimes down? 11 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 2: Jack, There were seventy one shot and eleven dead last year, 12 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 2: so nobody thinks that way but lefty advocates and the media. 13 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: So more on that later. The scale was very cruel 14 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: to me this morning. I lost all discipline over my 15 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: little vacation that I did while Joe was in England, 16 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: like all discipline, Like I forgot that it was a thing. 17 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: Apparently hmm. 18 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,199 Speaker 2: All the calories like money don't exist on vacation or imaginary. 19 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 2: Although I did pass at Cracker Barrel. 20 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: They had a chicken fried chicken with like gravy mashed potatoes, 21 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: you know that sort of meal that the calories according 22 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: to the menu was nineteen hundred and thirty calories. 23 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 2: Oh that's a big boy meal. 24 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, two thousand calories and one meal. Yeah something congratulations, 25 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: Uncle Herschel. As I mentioned earlier, is that the guy's 26 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: name on the cracker barrel saw gas. And again, I 27 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,559 Speaker 1: didn't know anybody who had ever heard of that before 28 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: in their lives. And that's the big controversation you're taking away, 29 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: Uncle Herschel. 30 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 2: Okay, a bunch of crackers eating on a barrel. That's 31 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: when I say, anyway, Yeah, I discovered, as I mentioned 32 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 2: earlier in the show, that if you walk five to 33 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: seven miles every single day, you can eat and drink 34 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: whatever you want. And that's what we did in London Town. 35 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 2: We took two day trips. The second one was to Cambridge, 36 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: which was absolutely terrific. How about their train system there 37 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 2: so fantastic? Oh my gosh. Yeah, we only used it 38 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: late in the week because we walked everywhere, but oh 39 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 2: my gosh. 40 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, we tube at Oxford. 41 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: Circus, took it to King's Cross and transferred quite smoothly 42 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 2: to the Great Northern Line to Cambridge. 43 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: Oh so great. But you're so efficient. Why can't we 44 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: have that in California to get around? Yeah? 45 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 2: At one point, a couple of guys were running to 46 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: catch a train and the door shut just before they 47 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 2: could get on, and I said, ah, poor bastards, and 48 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: then I looked up. The next train was literally in 49 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: one minute. One minute. Yeah, yeah, it was something. It 50 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 2: was great. So anyway, Cambridge was great. It's a really 51 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 2: cool historic town, although like everywhere, by the afternoon, it 52 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: was overrun by throngs of tourists, no kidding, everywhere we went, 53 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: just and part of it is people aren't coming to 54 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: the US because they're angry at Trump over the tariff thing. 55 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 2: But yeah, it was just amazing. If there was no 56 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: tourism in Britain, I think the place would dry up 57 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 2: and go away. It was just astonishing how many humans 58 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: were everywhere. The highlighted Cambridge. I got a really nice 59 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 2: T shirt that says Cambridge University. It's kind of a 60 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 2: fancy T shirt, like well made, because I'm hoping people 61 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 2: think I went there because it sounds really classy. But 62 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 2: we visited the chapel at King's College, which has the 63 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: largest collection of stained glass in Europe. It's you know, 64 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 2: it's your giant church with the most amazing stained glass 65 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 2: I've ever seen. In my life, partly because Oliver Cromwell, 66 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 2: who you know, I thought was some sort of crusader 67 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 2: for democracy as opposed to kings. He was also a 68 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: Puritan and very much like a tally Ban. When they 69 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 2: took over an Afghanistan, they were so anti any idolatry. 70 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 2: They literally shot the faces off of like religious statuary statues, 71 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: that's a fancy word for statues, or they like would 72 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: would the equivalent of sand a blast, you know, the 73 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: features off of these ancient and beautiful pieces of art. 74 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: And this Cromwell character, he had all the stained glass 75 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 2: like everywhere smashed Missus Cromwell character, he is a bastard, 76 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 2: but he had like all the stained glass smashed out 77 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: of churches because he thought it was idolatry. 78 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: Wow. 79 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 2: But he left this intact because of beloved King Henry 80 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 2: the sixth had started it, and he knew he didn't 81 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 2: because Henry the sixth ended up being a saint anyway, 82 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: and everybody like loved him, and so you didn't, no 83 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: matter what you thought, you didn't undo what he did 84 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 2: because it was just too dangerous politically. So he left 85 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: all of the same glass and it's just unbelievably beautiful. 86 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 2: That was the second day trip. The first day trip 87 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 2: was to Stonehenge and Bath. There was a bit of 88 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 2: a rain shower when we were in Bath. I mentioned 89 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 2: to Judy, we're taking a shower. We're having a shower 90 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 2: in Bath. She looked at me like, you know, you 91 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 2: could give that a vacation if you want. That's sort 92 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 2: of observation, sort. 93 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: Of a play on words. 94 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 2: Yes, the irony, Michael, the irony at the heart of it. 95 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: Jeez. 96 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 2: Anyway, but Stonehenge was quite a trip from London, but 97 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 2: I'm glad we did it. 98 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: It's I skipped Stonehenge when I was in England for 99 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: whatever reason. I don't remember it. Yeah, there's too much 100 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 1: to do, is that right? 101 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 2: Super big tall rocks arranged carefully by ancient hands to 102 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 2: do something. 103 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: Well. 104 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 2: The guye who were talking to said, get used to 105 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 2: the phrase we still don't know, because that's and we 106 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,239 Speaker 2: never will. The Stonehenge story, although it certainly is aligned 107 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: with the winter and summer solstice, is so the light. 108 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 2: It's a timekeeping device of some sort, but built, you know, 109 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: thousands of years ago, and one of the first things 110 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 2: you learn is that it was changed a couple of times. 111 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: The arrangement of rocks of various sizes over the course 112 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 2: of five hundred years, and you think, oh, from thirty 113 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 2: five hundred BC to three thousand BC. Then you realize, 114 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 2: wait a minute, people have been coming here and rearranging 115 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 2: these rocks for whatever purpose because it was important to them, 116 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: like important enough to spend incredible amounts of effort in 117 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 2: the ancient world for thousands of years. And I'm not 118 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 2: prone to weird psychic you know, feelings of I got 119 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 2: in tune with Mother Earth and the druids or whatever. 120 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,679 Speaker 2: But I did stand there feeling a bit of awe 121 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: about the fact that for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds 122 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 2: and hundreds of years, people keep coming back to this 123 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 2: spot and trying to get some sort of cosmic groove on, 124 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 2: get your cosmic groove on of whatever sort they thought 125 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 2: was appropriate. But it was kind of It was kind 126 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 2: of beautiful and heavy and mystical and weird, and I 127 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 2: could see how the soft headed sort, would you know, 128 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 2: end up becoming a druid or what have you. But 129 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 2: it's an amazing place, you know, I'd go. I didn't 130 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 2: change my life or anything. 131 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: I always have those sets when I'm in those really great, 132 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: big gold churches like they got in England. You sit 133 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: in there and it said, you know, they built that 134 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: thing whatever eight hundred years ago, and you think that 135 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of people praying for all the different 136 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: things going on in their lives, just like your life today. 137 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: Sick kid, you know, get a job. Whatever it is. 138 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 2: It's it's something. Oh that remind I gotta find the 139 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 2: picture of it. They have examples of We visited the 140 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 2: Roman baths at bath that was where there was a 141 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 2: rain shower. 142 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: Michael, Did I tell you that story? 143 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 2: It was very amusing. Anyway, they had a tradition then 144 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 2: you would like scratch out a message to the goddess 145 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 2: and throw it in the baths. Is like an offering, 146 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,679 Speaker 2: and the goddess would intercede on your behalf right. Oh cool, 147 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 2: all of it, virtually all of it was bitching about 148 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 2: somebody had stolen my cloak or somebody stole my best spoon. 149 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 2: And I think it's Vesuvius Jones.

As your kids 224 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 2: are going back to school, if they live in blue 225 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 2: states especially, they're getting a full dose of that stuff. 226 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 2: It is not slowed a bit in progressive America, and 227 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 2: it's still one of the great fights of our time. 228 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 2: I think Elon Musk, I remember hearing has one of 229 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: his many children is transgender. Whatever that means. 230 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,599 Speaker 1: How many kids do they have. We've made jokes so 231 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: many times I don't even remember, like a Baker's seen 232 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: or something like that. I can't remember. If he can't, 233 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: I can't either. And I'm reminded I didn't really look 234 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: into the horrific shooting in Minneapolish other than the unavoidable headlines. 235 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: That was one of the worst ones. Yeah, that was 236 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: one of the worst ones. 237 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's unthinkable and horrific, and I decided I'm on vacation. 238 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 2: I don't want to take that pain on, but I 239 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 2: know enough about it. 240 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 1: Some of the India coverage around it, we would have 241 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: been screaming about. 242 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure we would have. You know, I'm sure 243 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 2: you've all heard that the uh, the sick, mentally ill 244 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 2: murderer of little children was quote unquote transgender. 245 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: Really, I read the Washington Post and I got to 246 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: paragraph thirty two and stopped reading. So I didn't find 247 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: out in paragraph thirty three that that was the case. 248 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, kidding. Naturally among the sick sick person's writings 249 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 2: or something to the effect of, and I've got it 250 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 2: around here somewhere, but if that doesn't matter, him saying, 251 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 2: and I'm so unhappy or angry that I brainwashed myself 252 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 2: into thinking I was TRANSGENDERO. 253 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: Wow, I didn't even hear that. Oh no. Also, all 254 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: the trends stuff aside, it became very clear that the 255 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: person was expecting notoriety out of this. So once again 256 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: we give them notoriety. We give all these shooters all 257 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: the notoriety they want so that there will be more 258 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: of them. What vital. 259 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 2: But you have to kill lots of people to get 260 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 2: the notoriety you want. So if you want the rest 261 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 2: your blood, say the newspapers and that work. If you 262 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 2: want people in suits and ties to pour over your 263 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 2: every word and try to discern its meaning, the way 264 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 2: to do it is to kill children. 265 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: Yes, it's very frustrating. 266 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 2: Anyway, Elon Musk was talking the other day about his 267 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 2: his youngster and the whole transgender thing and well, let's uh, 268 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 2: let's listen to it. 269 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 3: It happened to one of my older boys where I was, 270 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 3: I was essentially tricked into signing documents, uh, for one 271 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 3: of my older boys, Xavier. This is before I had 272 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 3: really any understanding what was going on, and we had 273 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 3: coke COVID going on, and so there was a lot 274 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 3: of confusion, and you know, I was told, oh, you know, Savor, 275 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 3: I might commit suicide if. 276 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: That was that was a lie right from the outset. 277 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 3: Incredibly evil and I agree with you that people that 278 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 3: have been promoting this should go to prison. So I was, 279 00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 3: I was straight into doing this. 280 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: Recognize the voice of Jordan Peterson, so obviously he was 281 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: talking to him. Let's roll on. 282 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 3: It wasn't explained to me that puberty blocks are actually 283 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 3: just sterilization drugs. So anyway, and so I lost my 284 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 3: son essentially, So you know they they call it dead 285 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 3: naming for a reason. Yeah, all right, so that the 286 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 3: reason it's called dead naming is because your son is dead. 287 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 3: So my son is Avior is dead, killed by the 288 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 3: wolk mind virus. 289 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 4: I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah, I can't imagine what 290 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 4: that would be like. 291 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. 292 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 4: So yeah, and there's lots of people in that situation. Now, 293 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 4: it's not pretty and lots of demolished kids. 294 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: Yes. 295 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, Well that's a good that's a good reason to 296 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:58,239 Speaker 4: be the final. 297 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 3: Straw, right, So let's go about to destroy the work 298 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 3: mind virus after that. 299 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, the play join the club. Yeah, the playbook is 300 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 2: well known and well worn. You work on these kids forever, 301 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 2: trying to convince them that it's the reason they're not 302 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 2: happy is they're the wrong sex and they can change 303 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 2: their sex.

They want 317 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: to change the world to where the United States doesn't 318 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: make all the rules anymore, the United States with Europe, 319 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: and that era is over, and they might be right 320 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: and not looking forward to it. For instance, I grew up, 321 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: you grew up. Most of us a certain age grew 322 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: up with the United States was the best at everything, biggest, fastest, 323 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: and coolest, everything always right. The Empire State Building was 324 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: the tallest building in the world, and just everything we 325 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 1: did was the best. That went away over time, as 326 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: inevitably a would happen. But I saw this bridge that 327 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: China opened up over the weekend, the longest, highest expansion 328 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: bridge in the world. It's stunning, this gorge it's over 329 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: It's like building a bridge across the Grand Canyon. If 330 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: you've ever been there, I mean, it's just amazing. And 331 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 1: they drove I forget how many thousand semi trucks full 332 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: of things on top of it to show how strong 333 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 1: it is. I mean, because they didn't want people do 334 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: immediately say okay, cool bridge, but will it fall down? 335 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: I mean, and the point of it is and it 336 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: took them like a year and a half or something. 337 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: I mean. So the point is the sort of thing 338 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: the United States used to be able to do, build 339 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: the Empire, state building, and during the Great Depression in 340 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: six months or whatever, that story is, look at what 341 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: we just damn right, look what we just did. The 342 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: United States can't do that anymore. And we can't because 343 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: you'd try to build that bridge and a five years 344 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 1: later you would get past some of the environmental hurdles 345 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: before you'd even start the thing, and then it would 346 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: take twenty five years and you still wouldn't have a bridge, 347 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: and you would have cost five times as much as 348 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: the original allotted money, and blah blah blah blah blah. 349 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: We all know that story. 350 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, China's argument is we're the effective people, and we'll 351 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 2: be here tomorrow with more or less the same policies. 352 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 2: So you want to do business. 353 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: It's a little depressing and how true. It is is 354 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: what bothers me. Then this different story just culturally, China 355 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 1: rekindles wartime fury, stirring fears of anti japan hate. They're 356 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: doing the same thing about the United States that they're 357 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: doing with Japan, a series of World War II dramas 358 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: about China's fight against Japan back in the day during 359 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: World War Two. Today is the eightieth anniversary of the 360 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: end of World War Two. We talked a couple of 361 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 1: weeks ago about how Japan's role in World War Two 362 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: is way under emphasized the number of people that they 363 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: killed and were still killing, you know, the days we 364 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: dropped the bombs just horrifying, and China was on the 365 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: wrong end of that most of it. But anyway, One 366 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: film called Dead to Rights, about Japan's nineteen thirty seven 367 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: invasion of the Chinese city of Nanjing, follows a group 368 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: of Chinese who smuggle out photographs and helped document the 369 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: killing of tens of thousands of civilians, an event known 370 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: as the Nanjing Massacre. During a showing of the movie 371 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: in a theater, and actor dressed as a soldier shouts, 372 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: and they're doing that this at all the theaters across 373 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 1: the country. This reporter was just at this one theater. 374 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: An actor dressed as a soldier walks on the stage 375 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,959 Speaker 1: and shouts at moviegoers the Japanese want to destroy our 376 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: country and exterminate us. Will you let them? And then 377 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: the audience rises up, actually stands up in the movie 378 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: theater together, pumping their fists, no we will not, and 379 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: start chanting various things. And they're doing that with movies 380 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: about where a China defeats the United States in a 381 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: couple of different made up movies, but everybody stands in cheers. 382 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 1: They are really whipping up the nationalism anti US, anti 383 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: China or anti Japan hate there while this getting together 384 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 1: with North Korea, Iran, Russia, India thing is going on. 385 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to be the most discouraging show 386 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 2: in the history of the planet. But meanwhile we're teaching 387 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 2: our children to hate their country and to believe that 388 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 2: it probably ought to be torn down. 389 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, that is an excellent point and depressing and 390 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 1: the only example I can come up with it in 391 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: world history. I keep asking people all the time, can 392 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 1: you think of any other time when an empire of 393 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: power all of a sudden decided to teach their kids 394 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: to hate their own empire and country. When does that happen? 395 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: But that's what we're doing in the United States while 396 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: they're teaching over there in China. They're teaching their kids 397 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: to love their country to the point of laying down 398 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: their lives for it. And if they win, things are 399 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: not going to be better here. 400 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 2: I guarantee you if anybody has conducted that experiment, we 401 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 2: are not going to hear about it because they were 402 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 2: taken over and enslaved by somebody else, and all their 403 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 2: stuff was taken and all their writings got burned because 404 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 2: who cares their their losers? 405 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: God. I saw a great video clip of Christopher Hitchins 406 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: talking about this sort of thing. I wish Christopher Richins 407 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: was still alive. He would be amazing on this woke stuff. 408 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: But he was talking about this was back when we 409 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: were all worried about terrorism and Islamo fascism, which we 410 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: should still be worried about. But he was talking about 411 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: the people that are on that side who call you 412 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: an islamaphobe if you know, if you're worried about Muslim 413 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: expres dreams and that sort of stuff, and he said 414 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: they will open the door. They will hold the doors 415 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: open for the barbarians. Barbarians never enter without somebody there 416 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: holding the door open for them. And I thought that 417 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: is really interesting, and that is what could happen here. 418 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: You have the woketivists with the door open. Come on 419 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: in China or Iran or whoever it is, with this 420 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: weird belief that they'll be better than what they. 421 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 2: Had, and because I help them, they'll treat me well. Right. 422 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: The barbarians don't enter on their own. There's always somebody 423 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: there holding the door open for them. That is some 424 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: brilliant stuff on that topic. I didn't plan to talk 425 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: about this, but it just popped into my head. I 426 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: meant to first day of history class for my son 427 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: public school. 428 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 2: This is our last year of public school. First day 429 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 2: history class. 430 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,239 Speaker 1: Now, I'll give them a pass for it being an 431 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: excuse me day because that is my school career. Also, 432 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: first day of lots of classes K through college. First 433 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: day often was like, you know, find out the teacher's name, 434 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: they hand out the syllabus, and you go home. But 435 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: the two things they did do you had to fill 436 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: out your form of your pronouns, tell the teacher what 437 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: your pronouns are. The other thing was write out a 438 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: land acknowledgment. We're holding this class on the land once 439 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: belonged by the whoever the hell? Can you freaking believe that? 440 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: Who stole it from the other what the hells? And 441 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: raped their women and enslaved their men and children. They 442 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: didn't point that out, but I actually actually sent the 443 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: land acknowledgment stuff to our friend Tim Sandefer, who actually 444 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: did the research on it. And yes, the very tribe 445 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: that they're saying we stole it from them brutalized the 446 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: tribes before that to the point that there's no historical record. 447 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: They completely committed a genocide. Every man, woman and child 448 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: was killed to take that land. But now the evil 449 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: European or Americans or white people or whatever you're mad at, 450 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: having taken the land from the Indians, after the Spanish whatever, 451 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 1: they're the evil ones. Unbelievable, Absolutely unbelievable. I mean, this 452 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: is craziness. Who I've asked this question before about land acknowledgments, 453 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: because we've had a few of them in our lives. 454 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: Who benefits? Is there one human being whose life is 455 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: made even slightly better by land acknowledgment? 456 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 2: No? No, you just no, you just continue to shove 457 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 2: your philosophy down the throats of other people. I mean, 458 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 2: so yeah, the progressives are helped by it. They get 459 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 2: more submission, more obedience, more guilt, more self hatred, which 460 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 2: is what they're getting, what they're going for. I'm telling you, 461 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,719 Speaker 2: I will spend the rest of my day's fighting this crap. 462 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 2: It is so evil, isn't that crazy? 463 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: And I'm wondering how I'm gonna deal with that out 464 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: because my son decided, you know, I don't want to 465 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: get in a fight with the teacher on day one 466 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: it's American history class. I think there's just inevitable at 467 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 1: this particular school and day in California schoo systems in 468 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: their current view of running in what they're going to 469 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: teach in American History class. 470 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 2: Speaking here, Christopher Hitchins, have you ever read anything by 471 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 2: his best friend Martin Amos? 472 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: Have you?

I I did in a way. 488 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: But I read his memoir, kind of a fictionalized memoir 489 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: from a couple of years ago. I thought it was amazing, 490 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: absolutely amazing. 491 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, I asked chat Gpt just before we left on vacation, 492 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 2: recommend for me a great novel set in twentieth or 493 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 2: twenty first century London.

I've often thought I would like 501 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: to have hung around the two guys when they were 502 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: sitting at a bar drinking. But I have a feeling 503 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: out A like laughed a couple of times because I 504 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: think I'm supposed to laugh here, or if I don't 505 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: understand what the hell they're talking about, right, I'm not 506 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 1: smart enough to engage in conversation. 507 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 2: Well, and that was one thing. The way the book 508 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:14,400 Speaker 2: is structured, because it is not a b trade, folks, 509 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 2: it existed on a level that I mean, I've written some, 510 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 2: but it's like the difference between dough, a deer, a 511 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 2: female deer, and one of Beethoven's symphonies. I mean, how 512 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 2: the f to you even think of that? Just the 513 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 2: structure of it. 514 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: I kept plowing my way through Ulysses on vacation. I'm 515 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: at thirty one percent of the book, so I'm going 516 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: to make it. But I'm only a third of the 517 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: way through. 518 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 2: And when you have, what will that prove? 519 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: What will that? I'm loving it. I'm like, absolutely freaking 520 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: loving it. Said it's probably the best thing I've ever read. 521 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just absolutely amazing. 522 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard it's miserably difficult. 523 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be still doing it if I wasn't just 524 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: I can't wait to get back to it every day. 525 00:28:58,960 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 6: See. 526 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 2: I thought it was kind of dogged, Iowa farmer refusing 527 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 2: to give up. But no, you're actually enjoying it. 528 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 3: Oh. 529 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: No, I've put down many things that I thought were 530 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: a waste of time in my life. I forgot to 531 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: mention I didn't get this right. I thought I was wrong. 532 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: The Nashville Hot Southern Fried chicken at Cracker Barrel that 533 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: I wanted to order but I didn't order. My brother 534 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: was playing the triangle thing with the pegs, and he said, yep, 535 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: this is what the white people used while the slaves 536 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: were working to entertain themselves. We're doing the whole woke thing. Yes, Cracker, 537 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: but anyway, the Nashville Hot Southern Fried chicken, it's their 538 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: signature Southern fried chicken with Nashville Hot sauce, sour dough 539 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: bread with pickles, and buttermilk ranch. Twenty nine to ninety 540 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: is the calories ten calories, shy. You put a little 541 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: salt on there, you got three thousand calories for one 542 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: plate of food. Barbil a little pad. 543 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 2: Of butter on top of there. There you got your three. 544 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: Three thousand calories for one plate of food. And Wow, 545 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: Uncle Harold or whatever his name was on the sign, 546 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: what are you trying to do to us? Wow? 547 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 2: That's a big just stunning. 548 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: That's a big meal. You order dessert with that? Okay, 549 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: we will finish strong next. 550 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 2: Amazon has a policy not to show ads for alcohol, 551 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 2: which means there are no beer commercials during their football games. 552 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 2: I don't know why Amazon does that, because drunk people 553 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 2: are ordering stuff on Amazon is ninety percent of their business. 554 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: Why would Amazon have a policy where you can't have 555 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: beer ads during football games. I don't know. I'm shocked 556 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: by that. That's not a puritanical thing. I don't think 557 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: is it. Bezos doesn't strike me as that. It's not 558 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: like it's Chick fil A and have a big political 559 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: stance on something. Well, and that was ridiculous. Yeah, I 560 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: don't know. I can't imagine. Huh, NFL kicks off Thursday yet, 561 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: your normal Thursday night football, which I wish they didn't have. 562 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: But and then you got Chiefs Chargers in Brazil on Friday. 563 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, wait Brazil, Brazil. 564 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, ten thousand mile road trip for both teams, which 565 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: is going to be exhausting trying to get the NFL 566 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: going in other countries. I guess, yeah, good luck with 567 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: the league worldwide. Yeah, I don't know if that's going 568 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: to happen because. 569 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 2: They're not making enough money. 570 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: By the way, we're just talking about reading, and this 571 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: just reminded me something. So I'm fighting my way through 572 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: Ulysses reading it and it really enjoying it. I tried 573 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: to read it many times in my life and couldn't. 574 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: It took me a while to build up through reading 575 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: other stuff, the ability to read this. It's not at 576 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: least for me anyway. But so I'm watching Woody Allen, 577 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: the movie director, on Bill Maher's show where he's down 578 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: in the basement drinking and smoking pot that one, and 579 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: Woody Allen was on there. And Woody Allen kind of 580 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: famously because he talks about it in his memoir he 581 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: has never read a book. He doesn't like reading. He 582 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: doesn't understand why anybody would enjoy it. And Bill Maher 583 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: mentioned Ulysses, you know, the Great Gatsby, all these great books, 584 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: and he said, I don't know, I don't care. I 585 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: didn't like reading as a kid. He finally said, I've 586 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: read a couple of books because I had to about 587 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: movie making, because he's the only way against the information. 588 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: But I hate reading and I have no interest in it. 589 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: And Bill Maher and Woody Allen mentioned the greatest movies 590 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: of all time, and Bill Maher said, see, I'm the 591 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: same way as you the books. I've never seen any 592 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: of those movies and I have no desire to, you know, 593 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: the Seventh Samurai, the Bicycle Thief, Citizen Kane. Anytime you 594 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: ever lists of the greatest movies of all time? Bill 595 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: Maher had no, He's read all of the books that 596 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: he mentioned, but hasn't seen any of the movies. And 597 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: I just I'm just making the point. It's art. Different 598 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: people like different things. It says nothing about you as 599 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: a human being to have read or watched or not 600 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: read or watched those things. In my opinion, it's just 601 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: either like it, you don't, and you got your own things. 602 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: In my opinion, I thought that was two funny funny 603 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: that two really smart people both had a complete segment 604 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: of famous art that they're like, screw it, I have 605 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: no interest in that. 606 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 2: Well, and it was opposite of each other. Yeah too, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 607 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 2: that is that is intriguing to me. I don't know, 608 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 2: I'll have to think about that or watch a movie 609 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 2: about it. 610 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: The thing I'm thinking about you, Liss is it's it's 611 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: all set in one day if you don't know it, 612 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: and it's a lot of interior dialogue, what's going on 613 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: in the brain and. 614 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 2: His his his. 615 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: His ability to write down the way a human's mind 616 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: works as you just walk down the street observing things 617 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: and thinking about your life is freaking unbelievable. And going 618 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: through the different characters throughout the day, it's just it's 619 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: just it's shocking to me. 620 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad nobody's done that about me. Well, what 621 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 2: I think about as I walk down the street, yours 622 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 2: is the. 623 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: Same as everybody else's. That's what you figure out from 624 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: this book. All the things that you're thinking as you 625 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: walk down the street is the same as everybody else. 626 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: And it's very interesting.
